About this episode

White House Communications Director Hope Hicks resigns following a closed-door congressional hearing where she admitted to telling white lies for President Donald Trump. The departure fuels speculation regarding a power struggle between Chief of Staff John Kelly and the duo of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Reports indicate Kushner and Ivanka have faced security clearance downgrades while Kelly consolidates military influence within the West Wing.

In the wake of the Parkland shooting, President Trump surprised lawmakers by challenging the NRA and supporting universal background checks. Meanwhile, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued new guidelines for universal depression screening for children aged 12 and older, a move critics link to increased SSRI prescriptions. Internationally, a United Nations report claims North Korea is supplying chemical weapon components to Bashar al-Assad in Syria, while UK soldiers receive anthrax vaccinations in response to rising regional tensions. In New Zealand, authorities prepare to release a Korean strain of rabbit hemorrhagic disease to cull invasive populations.

Cultural oddities emerge as a recording of Ella Fitzgerald reveals a linguistic fractal in the word devosh. In Austin, the new central library becomes an unofficial homeless shelter, mirroring a national crisis that sees New York City librarians now carrying Narcan. The episode concludes with a knighting ceremony for Joseph Harrell and Martin Bills as the value-for-value model continues to fund the program without corporate interference.

European Winter Weather, Global Cooling Claims

Severe winter weather across Europe and the UK prompted warnings from the NHS regarding a "perfect storm" of freezing temperatures, norovirus, and flu. Reports of snow in Rome and Ireland are cited as evidence for a potential "little ice age" or global cooling trend.

Hope Hicks Resignation, Javanka Influence on John Kelly

White House Communications Director Hope Hicks resigned, leading to speculation that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump orchestrated the move to undermine Chief of Staff John Kelly. The theory suggests Hicks acted as a spy for the couple, dropping news about Rob Porter's abuse history to blame Kelly for the PR disaster.

02:03 Well, let's see who is going to go next. I think we nailed it John! And even better than i expected We hate to gloat. I hate to gloat but you know here's what we found out with the black widow Hope Hicks resigning and now it all falls into place. Ivanka...Jivonka that's Jared and Ivanka they have a name together Jivonka They wanted General Kelly out because he was in their way. He's telling them what to do, he's got power they don't like it, they've got power over daddy Trump knows that Jared has gotta get out, he is totally toxic and what's up with the way that guy... he's an alien! So he is totally toxic I wish we had more clips of him talking to me at all No no he never talks or rarely

02:51 So Trump doesn't have the heart to fire him because you know it's daddy's girl's husband so he says Kelly what can you do I got it and just to say a Downgrade, I mean that's not just getting rid of someone. That's insulting them and kicking him on the way out It's like once you go sit in economy class you slave You've been downgraded so Javanka want Kelly out Trump doesn't have the heart to fire Jared and you can never fire Ivanka of course all this went down while she was in Conveniently in South Korea makes so much sense. Oh by the way just as a quick aside, so I'm watching the Olympics word and she's like with the President and his wife in South Korea in the same booth

03:38 And behind her is the North Korean woman and there's a bunch of other people around there. But I have to say, they never mentioned that they're panning and this... There is the president in South Korea! They never mentioned she's there but I have to say, and she looked great when she was wearing some big furry thing She is so identifiable Ivanka yeah, oh yeah. I mean in a crowd it's like yeah It's just like wow there's Ivanka sitting right there and then you know didn't I knew she was identifiable? I didn't know how Identifiable she too looks a lot like an alien She has a very she got that sheen about her face and anyway Let's talk about what happened to the aliens

04:23 So Jared gets downgraded, which is just beautiful. I mean that's so insulting and of course the guy is toxic and now we know what was happening because Hope Hicks resigns in my mind she was indeed Javanka spy and she purposely dropped the news of Porter her boyfriend kind of having this abuse history and got the blame pinned on to Kelly trying to get him out. That was the whole strategy! I believe you, Mike...I think it's a valid theory. You want to listen? Let's listen to the uh we have the rundown here. And by the way i'm-i am shattered. Why? Come on! The Black Widow she was great for the show

CHAPTER 03 / 51 Discussion

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump Security Clearance Downgrades

Reports from BBC News indicate that both Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have lost or seen downgrades to their security clearances. Additional discussion focuses on Kushner's real estate debt at 666 Fifth Avenue and the media's emphasis on the address's numerical significance.

jared kushner· ivanka trump· security clearance· bbc news· 666 fifth avenue

05:15 There will be other things, I don't know what she's going to do. Before i play my Hope Hicks clips, I want to play this little ditty here on BBC News which is on the top of the list And I want you to tell me if there's a little piece of discrepant information in here that i've never heard. A reassuring presence for Donald Trump at the White House and as you say it comes just out of the day after it was announced that Jared Kushner, his son-in-law has lost his clearance Ivanka Trump has lost her security clearance You know that inner circle is shrinking and that churn we have seen at the White House Is just unprecedented

05:53 Nick Bryant, thanks for joining me. For one thing, the Democrats had been calling since July. You and I were calling for them to get out! Well no but the Democrats have been calling specifically for Ivanka to lose her security clearance. I couldn't find any particular reason why but they were bitching and moaning and then there was a couple of vague articles suggesting she might have but it never got much legs and if you have your communications director Hope Hicks covering

06:35 the Javanka, uh... The news would never get out. But maybe it's true and this guy was just reporting it." It would make nothing but sense I'm sure there were several downgrades that we didn't hear about the one that everyone cares about and- I didn't clip it but man do they love giving out the address of his building that he owes two billion dollars to the Chinese for Yes! 666 Fifth Avenue Yeah, I know. He loves the C-S-6-6. You never hear anyone talk about real estate that way it's always his building in New York is building in Atlanta no now its 666 Fifth Avenue. 666. Mark of the beast! So let's play a Hope Hicks ABC 1 this would be

Media Coverage of Hope Hicks Testimony, White Lies

ABC News reported that Hope Hicks admitted to telling "white lies" for President Trump during a closed-door congressional hearing. Analysis of the broadcast highlights the use of "any collusion" soundbites and terms like "shockwaves" to frame the White House as being in a state of chaos.

hope hicks· abc news· white lies· collusion· cecilia vega· west wing

07:16 Yeah, that major resignation at the White House. Hope Hicks the president's longest serving aide with the president even before his campaign Just 24 hours ago on Capitol Hill answering those questions a source telling ABC News she told house investigators She had occasionally told white lies for the president she is now stepping down Now this is another thing you know if you gotta kind of start to listen to the to the sources that say stuff? I mean this is a closed hearing meeting behind closed doors and she's barely even walked out, and they know that she said yes. I sometimes tell a white lie but yet there's no official source for this how does this work why was it even behind client close doors if they immediately had this information if it's even true where did it come from her confirm it now oh this was launched and I'm thinking

08:12 There's a bunch of memes in fact if we listen to that, that's why I divided this. Okay? Yeah, I'm sorry what yeah This is no I want you to stop mm-hmm uh This is divided into four sections for reasons that are obvious as we do it But even within the sections there is misinformation Misdirection whipsaws especially with ABC NBC's just as bad but ABC is maybe the worst and It's and you listened to this like Why are you bothering to do a hit job? It makes no sense. And you start to realize it's really very subtle, it's just like erosion. Trump is a liar! No, it's part of the rotation

08:50 Trump's a liar. Yeah, there is that but there is other stuff in here that kind of interesting Occasionally told white lies for the president She is now stepping down tonight The White House says the timing of this resignation Is coincidental And tonight the growing list of departures right there on your screen A little more than a year into this administration Starting with Michael Flynn The firings, the resignations One more key name added to that list tonight Hope Hicks ABC Senior White House Correspondent Cecilia Vega leading us off Less than 24 hours after Hope Hicks emerged from nearly nine hours of testifying on Capitol Hill. Any collusion? Tonight the president's closest aide and longtime confidant... Wait, did someone just yell any collusion was that? Let me hear that again! That is a reason to click stop. Nearly nine hours of testifying on Capitol Hill. Any collusion?

09:42 I'm just gonna start saying that to people in general. Hi, I'm Adam nice to meet you any collusion Any collusion? Aiden longtime confidant unexpectedly resigning from her role as communications director Sending shockwaves through the West Wing official line from the White House Hicks has been thinking about leaving the job for some time and wants to spend more time with our family Her family now they Yes, her family now of course there's two or three elements here that we're looking at besides what you already caught Yeah, I was the obvious one which is any somebody yelling to shoot with a clip. She would

10:23 It's like Tourette's clip is that it's nuts. It says to put in your listeners mind the collusion element because it's really not in there otherwise, right? There's no information in any of this but we might as well get it and get in there so we got the three things you've got the Trumps a liar We've got the collusion which just artificially inserted and then we have White House in a turmoil Which is another checklist item. Well, it was more than turmoil She didn't say chaos which I had expected What did she say? Oh, um... Shockwaves. Yeah shockwaves. Shockwaves to the West Wing. Well shock waves is different than what they're describing because they show all these guys that were fired- look at all these people they've lost! Yeah but it's alliteration with a W so it's shock wave through the White House for the West Wing sorry. Shock wave in the west wing. That's because they probably have somebody on this staff thats like you and really loves alliteration to an extreme and should have used chaos. Yeah cause thats the meme but okay. So okay we go on

Hope Hicks Career History, Parkland Note Controversy

Hope Hicks' professional background is reviewed, including her transition from a fashion model for Ivanka Trump to a key White House aide. Media scrutiny of a handwritten note used by President Trump during a meeting with Parkland families is discussed, with claims that Hicks may have written the "I hear you" reminder.

hope hicks· parkland· trump tower· ivanka trump· fashion line· handwriting

11:22 Any collusion just cracked, I actually had to laugh out loud when that happened. You should have ISO'd it! That's a good... ANY COLLUSION?! Actually should've you're right It's Tourette's it's great Okay I wanted to clip too But the news comes with Hicks under fire for that testimony telling congressional investigators under oath that she occasionally told white lies on behalf of the President of The United States At 29 years old, she became one of the most powerful players in the Trump White House. Now Hope Hicks is a tremendously talented person She started off with us right from day one by the president's side through the campaign Hope Hicks where's hope? Oh come here hope come here hope get up here hope hope picks the legendary hope pick this is very shy

12:13 She's actually a she's a very shy person, but she's a great person. She's done an amazing job before that in Trump Tower as an assistant to the billionaire businessman, a former model. She joined the family working on Ivanka Trump's fashion line now. She helps run the White House her handwriting right there on the president's note reminding him to tell those grieving families from Parkland I hear you. Okay couple of things here first is the way they, it wasn't a whipsaw. It's something else and I don't know what it is but it's taking it so you're to the stream of consciousness rolls in a certain... You're listening and you hear the following if you just listen to the words or you just saw a transcript would go like this she admitted to saying that she told white lies for the president Thank You Donald Trump!

13:05 Yep. Build a wall! They could put that in for no reason. So, in other words thank you Donald Trump for making me tell white lies I don't know what the subconscious is gonna deal with when it hears those two things in a row but that's what you heard she told white lies thank you Donald Trump. Build a wall and then there was that thing at the end which I'll play it. Hold on. Yeah, baby back it up. Yeah bag it up You said bag comes with now she helps run the White House her handwriting right there on the president's note Reminding him to tell those grieving families from Parkland I hear you which is insinuating that The president can't even write his own thank-yous and I hear he can't write his own notes again and this stupid thing about say thank you everybody makes them sound like a complete moron and

13:58 And whether she wrote that, I don't know. Did she ever say she wrote those notes? Is that her handwriting do we know for a fact? Well no, I don't know about that but I've looked at her mannerisms how she interacts with other people because you I've never heard her speak except for that one thing where Trump brought on stage That's what she says thank You Donald Trump! Thats about it. I'll betcha she's really good at communications The profile kind of fits the way she interacts with people I think should be really good And I bet she was good. She's probably a good writer. Could be, but what introduces a couple more topics in the next part special mini clip within minutes of news of her departure the president releasing a statement saying she is as smart and thoughtful as they come A truly great person. I will miss having her by my side but when she approached me about pursuing other opportunities i totally understood

Rob Porter Scandal, Trump Tower Meeting Memo

The departure of Staff Secretary Rob Porter following domestic violence allegations is linked to a broader strategy to remove John Kelly from the White House. Further discussion addresses claims that Hope Hicks helped craft a misleading statement regarding the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer.

rob porter· don jr· russian lawyer· john kelly· msnbc· domestic violence

14:52 Chief of Staff John Kelly calling Hicks strategic, poised and wise beyond her years. To say that she will be missed is an understatement but her tenure in Washington not without scandal. Hicks was involved in crafting a misleading statement about that now infamous Trump Tower meeting between Don Jr. And the Russians Hmm. This is that one? Yeah, now because she apparently crafted the memo that said we don't know nothing Wait let's give this stuff Let's back up on that all right what wasn't the same media accusing Donald as the one who did that memo? He wrote the whole thing and Jared or not Don jr.. Is a moron or Eric some more on it good night if you want he wrote it yeah I remember he wrote it and pasted into an email so junior could just go oh

15:39 Yeah, that's what I know all of a sudden she crafted it. Oh yeah She may be the way down. She may hold the key to everything With the Russians or were they meeting with this Russian lawyer that we're a lawyer from it That's just the Russians every Russian there are there with Russian salad dressing uh It's gotten pretty crazy Just as an aside now all of a sudden There's the MSNBC have been watching them every day starting, you know like 630 in the morning. Yeah You better take something yeah Now you know what protects me the holy herb protects me from the beat

16:28 You know, so now it's well you know Donald Trump called for Russia to hack Hillary's emails and they play the little soundbite out of context of course because it was a joke. Yeah, of course yeah we've heard it a million times And now they're saying and then two days later they published those emails! The Russian WikiLeaks but those were the DNC emails They're even confused about which emails that are talking about It's just going round and round and around in circles. Oh, yeah they do that Well there is a bunch of it I got some more clips later on the show that again they bring in old stuff and they try to Try to shoehorned into whatever their narrative is hate these the word but have two And it's just I guess it works if you're really stupid I would say most people at this point are They've been stupefied

17:20 Well, they've been stupefied. So let's go to finish this guy up more recently she was at the center of the firestorm over the departure of former staff secretary Rob Porter ousted amid domestic violence allegations and you know remember that she is the one that least I was reporting that she wrote the press announcement about this mean either she did it said hey rob boyfriend Sorry you got to do this for me because we got to get Kelly out for the you know for the country or Just like she was also with Lewandowski. I believe she was dating him on the campaign She's just a dangerous, but they now have more time with her family yeah Orgy I mean understand, but if she actually You know use this guy

18:16 And remember, everyone was blown away by this. Like holy crap! Of course it was a PR disaster couldn't get away from it but the way it went... Boom! All of sudden he had- she's dating him we find that out boom the guy has abusive background boom John Kelly is an asshole for hiring him We gotta get Kelly out Get Kelly out It seemed so coordinated I think they want Kelly out but who are they? Javanka You know, they just well anyway doesn't matter. I'm sorry for taking us on the detour no No, I think it needs to be discussed and I kind of reminded by there was somebody else that was working It was Ben Banyan

Military Influence in the White House, Deep State

Chief of Staff John Kelly is characterized as a representative of military intelligence and the "deep state" taking control of the White House. The removal of various political operatives like Reince Priebus and Anthony Scaramucci is viewed as a consolidation of military power within the administration.

john kelly· steve pieczenik· military intelligence· deep state· conway· scaramucci

18:56 He was having, he was butting heads with Kelly too and there were somebody else that felt like it wasn't Conway. It was somebody else or maybe Elmer Ruddy thought they could go in and out and in and out and Kelly says no you can't keep going in and out of here now we got things to do here Yes And if you remember the special interview I did with Steve Pachanik The Kelly is the deep state guy from military intelligence who are running this president and From the way I see it. I think they got every douchebag out at this point. I don't think there's any more You know potential risks left are there is anyway, is there anyone left from the Trump Tower scene? No, but Conway might be Conway still in there but she says she's a political operative She's been around yeah, that's true so she and she probably goes along with the program

19:51 Sure, she does. No but it's just the hangers is just Javanka hanging out those two and they were you all they've been downgraded so now it's another reason you can't go in the office oh no no stop we classify we're doing classified stuff yeah get out of here get out of here you So they haven't been completely driven up I think it's happening Yeah, maybe we'll get down to business now finally with all the morons hanging around. More recently she was at the center of the firestorm over the departure of former Staff Secretary Rob Porter ousted amid domestic violence allegations. Porter and Hope were dating and she helped craft the administration's defense of him when the news broke. Tonight The White House says none of that is linked to her departure. The timing

20:36 just coincidence. how much of a trusted advisor she was to him. Her actual departure date could still be weeks off, David but this has been a very key role and a tough one for this White House to fill. Hope Hicks is now the fourth communications director to come and go

21:14 I think it was Rachel Maddow who had a huge screen on full-screen last night with tiny little print of all the people who had been kicked out and then it had communications director another communications director yet another communication director they just love it. That included Scaramucci? Of course, well... He wasn't even really a communications director he was there for some other purpose we're never sure right Or to help get rid of somebody. It was somebody else had to go... Oh no, it was Spicer wasn't it? Yeah, Spicer he was there the longest! Yeah, he had to get gotten rid off because he was a bonehead and so Scaramouche came in to get rid of him and oh Rance Priebus, they had to get rid of Rance Priebus

21:58 That was the target. And so Scaramucci came in and kept accusing Rance Privis of being the leaker, which apparently he was. Well sadly I think that what...and i really mean sadly..I think that now we have the military in control of the White House because thats how I see it Yeah, well if you look around there seems to be an extraordinary number of military guys including the chief of staff. Can I move off the Black Widow to go where i need to go with this then? Let me just double check so I don't bring in old clip later on. I don't think I have any more clips on her. Alright With Kelly in charge and we've seen the build up in Afghanistan

Syria Chemical Weapons, North Korea Partnership Claims

A United Nations report allegedly links North Korea to Syria's chemical weapons program, claiming Kim Jong-un's regime shipped valves and thermometers to Bashar al-Assad. Skepticism is expressed regarding the "secret report" and its timing relative to US interests in the Golan Heights and regional pipelines.

syria· north korea· chemical weapons· bashar al assad· united nations· cnn

22:44 But we still have this issue in Syria and mind you, this is about the Golan Heights oil. It's about... it's still about the pipelines and we have to come up with some kind of ruse to make sure that we can stay there And we've already heard the rumblings Oh yeah chemical weapons chemical weapons! And now this New evidence tonight of a sinister partnership between Kim Jong-un and the murderous regime of Syrian President Bashar al Assad. A United Nations source tells CNN North Korea has been sending supplies that could be used to produce chemical weapons to Syria

23:22 The source says a new unreleased UN report based on a secret investigation found that parts including valves and thermometers used to turn those chemicals into deadly bombs have been shipped by Kim's regime. It is very alarming because North Korea has the world's largest stockpile of chemical weapons and the technology to produce it, and Syria has repeatedly used chemical weapons... Hold on! Wait wait wait What did he say? Let's listen again. Let's go to the videotape. It is very alarming because North Korea has the world largest stockpile of chemical weapons I thought we got rid of the chemical weapons No, we got rid of the chemical weapons in Syria Oh! Now North Korea has the largest Have you ever heard this before? No it is from a secret report from sources so how could we know We don't know nothing Now let us just stop for second

24:11 They're making North Korea out to be the bad guy in every way they can. And so you think they'd be under massive scrutiny? No, we know that they have not just some chemical weapons but the world's...they have the world's biggest supply more than we have?! Yeah! What are you- Really!? Shut up Before you asking questions It's from the secret report and we know it apparently I think he actually says we know those chemicals into deadly bombs have been shipped by Kim's regime. It's very alarming because North Korea has the world's largest stockpile of chemical weapons and the technology to produce it Oh, and Syria has repeatedly used chemical weapons and continues to do so against its own people So this is fantastic You can blame the bad guys that are uncheckable

25:01 And then, well you know if he's doing it against his own people he is doing it again. Right and let's remind everybody about the research that was done on that first chemical attack where they tried to...where the red line was drawn Yes because The Obama administration which was debunked by every known expert in the world That these bombs were not from Syria they were from the rebels They sent the chemicals to Northern England they were checked out and the minute the results came back Obama forgot about the red line because he didn't want to attack under false pretense. That's okay we'll just ignore those old facts, we need new facts! Well luckily this came up in the State Department briefing... Where'd you get this clip by the way? That CNN and I think CNN is all in on it yeah they've got Barbara Starr at The Pentagon Wolf Blitzer with IDF

State Department Briefing, Anthrax Vaccinations in UK

State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert addressed reports of North Korean supplies reaching Syria, emphasizing the administration's policy of denuclearization. Meanwhile, UK soldiers are reportedly receiving anthrax vaccinations due to perceived threats from North Korea.

heather nauert· state department· new york times· anthrax· uk soldiers

25:52 We've got Anderson Pooper with CIA. CNN is just one big hornet's nest of bullcrap, so you know this is total propaganda and someone... Thank God they got nobody watching that network. They're not doing that bad. Heather Nowart who was the only other cutie left in the administration now that The Black Widow has gone but so Heather Who has an interesting style she's asked the question about this and about this report. There is a report in the New York Times that North Korea... Oh, New York Times yeah let's not forget the New York Times! There is a report in the New York Times that North Korea has been shipping supplies to Syria can be used for producing chemical weapons

26:40 I want to know if you are familiar with that report, what your reaction is. I've certainly seen that report. That is something...I've seen reports of that report because the actual report itself has not been released this is something that United States has had concerns about for quite some time that North Korea especially as North Korea becomes more desperate that they look for different creative and horrific ways to try to make money, to fund their criminal regime. And when I say criminal regime, I mean they're illegal nuclear and ballistic missile programs. If they are selling goods material whatever you want to call it to Syria of that regime, and that is exactly why we stand so firmly behind our policy of denuclearization on the part of this administration on behalf of the world.

27:29 And I love how typically like, well that is a report that no one has seen. That's just from sources you don't know nothing. I haven't seen it but its like well I haven't seen it but I heard the reporting sounds right to me! Who wrote this story at the New York Times? Well this is interesting. It was written by... oh thats the LA times im sorry not the New York Times. Okay okay Where is it? Thats interesting Hmm. Oh Geez, I can't get it with Bing you can't be it no, I can't bing it here we go You went okay? So they're saying UN links Korea to serious chemical weapons program so this is a united Accord this all according to a United Nations expert Michael Schwartz SCHW IR TZ and Looks like the UN is his beat hmm

28:33 What else do you want me to say, boss? So this sounds like... I'm sad about this. Also soldiers in the UK are now getting anthrax vaccinations due to the North Korea threat Which they what yeah, they typically don't know their experts are there's not only gas and nukes anthrax these guys Load them up with anthrax really uh-huh And then you know what also happened in at the Olympic Games is The main to go our main negotiator With who speaks with North Korea and tries to work with the north in the south he quit

29:23 And no one wants to talk to the North Koreans. So I feel a setup coming and I don't like it at all Yeah, I think we're gonna do some more nasty business right right in Syria To protect the interests in this case again of the big resource companies. I Would be able argue yeah, that's sad It's sad that's coming Okay on from entremont time Oprah Winfrey now last I heard she was not going to run for presidente

CHAPTER 10 / 51 Discussion

Oprah Winfrey 2020 Presidential Run Speculation

Oprah Winfrey discussed the possibility of running for president in 2020, stating she is waiting for a clear sign from God. The commentary contrasts the media's positive reaction to Oprah's spiritual claims with the criticism directed at Mike Pence for similar religious statements.

oprah winfrey· 2020 election· meyn kelly· joy behar· mike pence· god

30:00 But I think she's changing her mind. Oh yeah, USA Today big profile piece not only just an article but they did a whole video with Oprah and i'd like to share that with you. Will Oprah Winfrey run for president? That's Megan Kelly. 7 million tweets about. Hours wow this is already out there, this is all it says Oprah 2020.

30:50 Oprah 2020, yes. Like the speech hit me I had a little tear in my eye Since then we've heard statements from Oprah saying that she doesn't have any intention of running for the presidency It's just not in my spirit it's not my DNA While we certainly have no reason to believe her talking to her recently it's a little bit more nuanced I pay attention when you have that many people saying something I thought well gee I'm never in my life ever, ever imagined that I would be in politics. And I've always said, no, no, no. Am I supposed to at least look at that question? Because I had enough people billionaires calling me up saying, I can get you a billion dollars. I can run your campaign and I actually went into prayer about it like God if you think I'm supposed to run, You gotta tell me and it has to be so clear that not even I could miss it

31:49 Now, I hope... So she's actually talking to God. No no no! She's waiting for him to talk back which Joy Behar would consider mentally ill Yeah, I mean how crazy is that? These people are nuts. Joy Behar. Mike Pence when he speaks the god and he speaks back He's mentally ill Oprah says god you make gotta make it loud enough for me to hear she's not mental Well, it's because she is not a Republican. Hello? Yeah I know that! I hope... Every night I say a prayer please let Oprah run please oh yeah that would be the greatest thing ever Please could you imagine an Oprah Trump debate

32:36 Oh, this would be so beautiful. I think the likelihood of this getting that far is nil Really? I'm not so sure. I am not so sure about that It's just a publicity stunt hmm it may be the following and that's what they said about Trump I never said it. They, you never said it. They, they... That sounded pretty serious! I think the following could be in play let's bring up Oprah's profile politically see what kind of money you can dream out get there she does not like she needs the money but dig a bunch of money get a bunch of support and then

33:13 Figure out who should really run and then have Oprah throw her support behind that person to give them an extra boost like a boom Jim Okay, well if you could name one person who has a problem Oprah is the book Oprah's the bookmark right now. Right? Well she's not yet. Well No I think she's the the anointer okay placeholder and annoying yeah when Oprah says yes You, my child are the chosen one. But I'm still gonna pray you'll be so beautiful." And i know she would fix the Austin library of our homeless problem. Oh we need a report on that. I went! I went? Were you done?

Austin Central Library Homelessness Observations

A visit to the new $125 million Austin Central Library revealed a significant presence of people experiencing homelessness using the facility as a shelter. Despite pre-opening promises of integrated social resources, observations suggest that these individuals are largely being ignored by staff and the public.

austin· library· homelessness· social services· central library· architecture

33:59 What with the with? You got any more on Oprah Nothing. Oh, you had me jacked up about the whole idea Well I just thought the whole report showed some serious interest in her from certainly from USA Today the media being completely insane yeah Don't realize that Donald Trump was fake running for president since the 90s yes Not like a thing you just came up with, but I mean... Okay go on. A little background before you discuss the library? Yeah and then i looked at the clip you sent me it really wasn't good for the background or so. I don't have a clip but when this $125 million dollar library was planned in Austin um the main question that appeared is well will it just be like the old library which was set kind of into park setting so it's much easier for

34:51 you know, people experiencing homelessness to kind of walk up and hang out. This place is huge and I wanted to go see it. People are very worried about what was going to happen with Austin Library and we heard that... They're worried about you? No one's worried about me So the place is big and it's interesting is the common areas and the I would say conference areas because it seems to be quite a business. They have multiple conference rooms you know where you can do, I guess anything from 50 people that probably they got a 250 seater each floor of these five floors is like huge open space with places to sit and hang out and then what seems like 1 third of the space is books on the other side

35:38 So I went in, and hadn't been into the library. It's good that they have books! Yeah but it seems like there is more space for conferences and hanging out than books... oddly. Meetups Every floor had at least three clearly identifiable people experiencing homelessness so i saw about 15 maybe 17 and this is 1130 a.m when I went And I'll say that these look to me like people who actually are experiencing homelessness. They don't seem to be crazy, strung out on drugs... It's definitely not a good smell

36:20 And then you know some are yeah, they're just hanging out. Are they even reading? No I get opportunity to read a lot no I didn't see anybody reading I didn't see anyone assisting with Helping them with resources To find a way out of the problems there in that was none of that and people just ignore them Just walk by so we're any of them begging it no nope nope no one was begging But but it was very sad You know, I just got a sad emotion over me when i saw it. Like yeah there you go Austin the outpost of liberals doing so well for our citizens no nothing at all and these are really... most of them are older Yeah they're old, what do you think? 50s

37:16 I'd say 50... no, thanks. I'd say 60s. I wasn't naming it at you! Hey, I'm just one donation away from being in the library. One donation away from being in the library? But I'm gonna go again. I'm gonna keep an eye on it. In all the pre-promotion about a year ago for this library, oh we're gonna have all kinds of resources will help everybody there's none of that going on nothing at all None of it they're just being ignored no one wants to deal with them people walk by him Just like San Francisco and just step over him No one cares yeah when San Francisco would be pooping in the library now well who knows who knows how far this will go

CHAPTER 12 / 51 Discussion

Narcan Distribution in New York City Libraries

Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation allowing New York City libraries to possess and administer Narcan to combat the opioid overdose crisis. The discussion questions whether similar measures will eventually be implemented in other major city libraries like Austin's.

narcan· opioid crisis· andrew cuomo· new york city· libraries

37:56 But I did see, what was this? I saw an article in the Times. Yes New York City libraries they're now handing out Narcan In fact there's a law Cuomo signed a bill into law that added libraries to the list of institutions like schools that are authorized to possess and use Narcan Anyone can possess it I'm just telling you that's what it says. I don't see why you couldn't, maybe if it's federally funded... Oh okay or something Something like that and and I wonder if that'll happen If we'll have a couple our first overdose in the Austin library? I have no idea how the..I'm sure it's bad but you don't hear much about opioid problems Well its not going to go any other direction anytime soon from what I can tell No there is no one they're helping these people exit experiencing homelessness They don't know what to do

38:57 Well, that was a boring report. I wish I could make it all snazzy like oh there were people dying but no! No! The guy peed on my leg Alright alright I didn't want to have to... the guy peed on my leg I didn't want to have to pull this out this early But i'm gonna do it. I'm pulling it out. I have here A clip That I believe will annoy you to no end Are you ready to hear my clip that will annoy you? Yes, I'm waiting. Okay stand by and listen to Ella Fitzgerald annoying John C DeVore. Oh jeez. Mosh. Devosh!

CHAPTER 13 / 51 Discussion

Ella Fitzgerald and the "Devosh" Fractal

A recording of Ella Fitzgerald using the word "devosh" is presented as a linguistic fractal. The segment also explores the historical trend of long, spoken introductions in music from the 1930s and 1940s, featuring artists like Bing Crosby.

ella fitzgerald· devosh· bing crosby· song intros· 1940s music

40:00 You make other men seem blind So, I think this is a fractal somehow Because we have sure loaded up there didn't she and four of them, and the song is from what? 61 or something it may be earlier. I mean Ella Fitzgerald was at her peak pretty much in the 40s yeah but and but how about the And by the way when you hear very early stuff Which I think may go back into the 30s But then pretty sure it does as she was one of the best singers in the history of the country sure he was But she's using words like devosh So this is just something old coming back again.

40:42 Yes, now that you brought that clip in sure I had no idea of that song. I'll look it up It's this wonderful smog Oh, that's one that's during that era when they did these long intros before they actually sang the song oh, I didn't know that Yeah There was a period of in fact he came and went Crosby did it for a while? He came home In the 30s mostly they would eat pre-int they'd introduced the song with a bunch of blather Then they'd kick it. Okay, kick it in It's almost like James Brown yelling hit it and the song bring it up right and so they introduced a song with a bunch of bullcrap at the front end of it And then they'd they bring the song and it wastes almost 30 seconds some man what a horrible trend that was

CHAPTER 14 / 51 Discussion

Old Time Radio Archives, OTR Cat Catalog

A vast collection of Paul Whiteman and Bing Crosby recordings from 1925-1935 was discovered on archive.org. This led to a recommendation for OTR Cat, a catalog specializing in obscure old-time radio plays, including rare episodes of "The Fat Man."

archive.org· paul whiteman· bing crosby· otrcat· the fat man· radio plays

41:32 I guess any examples. So, I ran into...I just will say this since you brought it up and I'm yakking about this and the reason I'm yacking about in the first place because i did discover a cache of Paul Whiteman and Benny Bing Crosby and all that. A cache? Was this an online cache or was it buried to someone's backyard? Everything from 1925-1935 which is the era where all this cool stuff took place This was a torrent It was available as a torrent, but it was all on archive.org They have in one archive they've got every single Paul Whiteman song from that era and every single Crosby song from that era and then that led me because I was looking for something else That led me to something i'm going to recommend which is I think it's otrcat and I believe its dot com OTR cat old time radio catalog

42:30 He's got the most astonishing collection of obscurities that I have ever seen. They have like every single this or every single that, that he sells. He sells these huge collections and there is always an empty three for him And it'll send you a CD of like thousands of things for eight bucks! This guy... But wait if you order now he will send you two CDs with thousands of things for just 8 bucks It's unbelievable what this guy has collected. Yeah, that's good I don't know... I've been in contact with him Now do you actually sit and listen to these? And go hohohoho Sometimes they do Do you chuckle?

43:07 There are some old radio plays I really enjoy, but there is the thing I got in contact with which this...I hate to go into this obscure. Yeah it's pretty damn obscure and you know you thought the library report was boring. But finish it up! I will mention this that apparently he has anyone who's collected OTR knows that they series of radio shows called The Fat Man Done by this American actor he grabbed up all the copies and all the transcripts and destroyed every bit of them And all you can get from fat man is stuff from Australia and remakes But he says there's some that were discovered recently who I'm just so excited Anyway, I do have your annoying word of the day but I'm gonna try and do that trying to annoy you every show and your annoying word of the day is Sit as in what's the sitch John?

CHAPTER 15 / 51 Discussion

Word of the Day, "The Sitch" Origin

The "word of the day" is identified as "the sitch," a slang abbreviation for "the situation." The term is traced back to the Disney Channel animated series Kim Possible.

Trump Gun Control Meeting, NRA Confrontation

President Trump held a televised meeting with lawmakers to discuss gun control, where he appeared to challenge the NRA's influence. Trump expressed support for universal background checks and raising the age limit for purchasing certain firearms to 21, surprising both parties.

donald trump· nra· gun control· chris murphy· background checks· age limit

44:53 Alrighty then. That was enlightening, yes when people learn something you always learn something on this show I was once again delighted with the little show that we had the other day when Trump...I think this is his new thing? I like it just like with DACA which strangely we don't hear anything about anymore I'm sure the deadline's coming up in a week or so, we'll start hearing about it. But he brings in everybody all the senators and the ones that he likes or whatever it is and then let's talk about this on live television! That was so cool yesterday! You thought so? I got a clip. Let's play your clip. Which clip is it?

45:32 Trump on guns divide and conquer ABC. As you know the other firestorm tonight Republicans reacting at this hour to what they saw from the president today at the White House he was sitting with Republicans and Democrats on guns in school safety saying he supports what many of the Democrats support universal background checks among other things pushed by the students and families in Parkland Florida But tonight, many in his own party are now livid. ABC's chief White House correspondent Jonathan Garza. Good word! Before the television cameras at the White House, the most pro-NRA president in history gathered together a group including some of Congress' most forceful advocates of gun control.

46:13 Some folks that don't say nice things about me, and that's okay. Because if you turn that into this energy I'll love you but i dont care And sitting in that room, the president repeatedly took positions that put himself at odds with the NRA and Republican leaders in Congress. He embraced Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy's call for background checks on all gun purchases an idea Republicans have voted down again and again Yeah I thought the... That to me was not the best part The best part is this So just curious as what you did in your bill

46:50 We don't address in this present, but I think you're afraid of the NRA It's a big issue right now and a lot of people are talking about But a lot of people a lot of people are afraid of that issue raising the age for that weapon to 21 So you're afraid of the NRA. I love the guy's face That was, that was... oh yeah. All the things they talked about it's all that one topic that raising the age is the only thing there was concerned about not because it means anything but because there is an actual calculation of lost sales that you can make. Yes huge issue

No NRA Money Campaign, Nadine Smith

Nadine Smith of Equality Florida is leading the "No NRA Money" campaign, which pressures political candidates to refuse donations from the gun rights organization. The movement is described as a coordinated effort funded by figures like George Soros and Michael Bloomberg to influence the 2018 elections.

nra· nadine smith· equality florida· george soros· michael bloomberg· gun control

47:32 It's huge for the money. But if we now look at what happened with right pretty much the same day there was no waiting this we don't wait anymore to politicize dead children why bother let's just move straight into the news cycle here is the isn't a Dean Smith she is really one of the hijackers of the kids original March idea which was planned for April but she now shows up as the leader of the No NRA Money campaign But she's really from Equality, Florida and she runs a whole bunch of other different non-profits some of which yes indeed are funded by our Hungarian friend. And I think the politicization was purely for one goal to defund not the NRA but to defund Republicans who take the NRA money

48:23 And, you know this shaming and calling out and you have to stand with everybody and say I pledge that I won't take money from the NRA at the same time defunding the NRA by getting... they definitely have some issues with insurance companies who run their big gun insurance. If you kill somebody or shoot somebody's insurance as well as you know all of their partners. I think it was a pretty well coordinated attack, i don't think its enough they gotta keep it going because they have to show continuously that Republicans are taking NRA money Well here's this little exchange on AM Joy before she goes off the air cancelled too bad. Very simply we are aiming to break the stranglehold that the NRA has

49:17 Stranglehold! ...rational gun policy. We know what to do to stop these mass shootings, we know what to do because... Really? Yeah yeah listen...we've banned assault weapons There you go You know the things that Marianne Hammer said lead us inevitably to a road where our children go to school in armored trucks with rifle towers in every school That is not the path that Americans want and I think the students, the survivors of the Parkland shooting are saying it in the most compelling way. They've said that politicians have abandoned us And we demand better and we have failed young people by letting the NRA dictate policy all across this country and block the things that we know work to save lives. You hear that she went from, We know what to do right into, We need to block the NRA It was nothing else but that Yeah there were some things where we needed to block the NRA That's going to stop people from killing children So no NRA money

50:11 is two things. It is a pledge by candidates that they will not accept NRA money or support and it is pledged by voters that we will vote against any candidate who takes even a penny from the NRA. I would vote against... And, you know- We believe- I would vote against any candidate that took a pledge I'm not voting for somebody who's going to take pledges and be a, and have to abide by somebody else is what they want. I want them representing me in my community that's when i'm doing my elected officials. I don't want them having...I didn't like the guy who was doing the no more taxes pledge to that guy who kind of disappeared from the scene why am I? Why is that guy taking a pledge to someone that's not in our community

50:54 He's representing us, he's not representing these people. I'll take a pledge! Pledging no, I'm not gonna do it and take their money. Bull crap! I agree with you It's two things it is a pledge by candidates that they will not accept NRA money or support And it is pledged by voters that we will vote against any candidate who takes even a penny from the NRA We believe that if we've got to draw that line very very clearly Is your campaign Florida based? Or are you trying to take this national? No, this is national. It's a grassroots effort that came together on... Oh yeah! It's grass roots. Yeah it's real grass roots honey. Grass Roots! ...parents in particular who said we've got to draw this line... Yes it's also the Sandy Hook parents what's the Bloomberg money Michael Bloomberg

Media Exploitation of Parkland Students, NPR Segment

An NPR segment featuring a Parkland student discussing her "activist life" and Twitter engagement is criticized as a form of media exploitation. The commentary suggests that parents and news outlets are using traumatized children to push political agendas.

parkland· npr· twitter· activism· child abuse· social media

51:43 That's what is it called? I'll come up with. Lying in the sand and so far we're hearing from candidates all across the country not just in progressive areas but in deep red Pennsylvania of a retired police sergeant an army vet who's running for the assembly was the first to sign on, so we think this is the moment that tide changes Yeah they really are all over it yeah and this is all part of the 2018 elections these there Then not only they are abusing these children, they're really sucking the life energy out of these children. Mean real event and putting your have you ever looked at Soros? With blood of children I love infant blood Quickly, let's play the I was gonna play an example of how horrible these childrens lives are now with their parents Abusing them putting them on television. Then I want to go to teach her with a gun Oh good NPR oh yeah, let's put my kid on NPR this is just the beginning of a little segment

52:45 Which they put together... There's no such thing as a little segment on NPR, but okay. Hold on a second now there are two clips Yes here we go sorry Just the matter of the wrong clip Here we are The past few weeks my house has been command central for supplies for teachers whose rooms were shot up and may never be reopened More markers into Connor's car Connor's cars taking markers This is my life now Helping my mom organize supplies from around the country then meeting up with friends before counseling. Oh my god Did you guys bring food? I brought some munchkins and coffee Then speaking at a rally or visiting memorials in the park then going on social media to check my posts about gun control If you just listen it's much sadder than this I'm checking Twitter right now and over 2,200 people have seen my tweet

53:47 And 46 people have liked it, 28 people have retweeted it. And now I'm wondering what my other tweets look like so I'm gonna go to... Ooh this is my mom, hold on. Hey Mom! Hi honey My mom's been checking in with me a lot Her name is Lisa Glassman Okay so how are you feeling right now for real? Tell me what's going on in your mind and stuff This sounds like the Kardashian mother almost Like, oh hey kid we're on the radio. Let me tell me for real how you doing? How are you really feeling what's in your mind and stuff this is child abuse Um a lot A lot is going on my mind obviously there's so much that I have to think about Going back to school Me, my Twitter life My activist life Poor kids They got Twitter lives Activist lives

54:45 And they're being... My Twitter life. Yeah, this is my activist life Yes sir yeah God yeah that's just how it you know we don't have the category but I'd give you a pathetic tweet, a pathetic clip of the day. Yeah it is that bad all right teacher with a gun story? Well I don't know there's another thing I've there was another thing But let's just stick with the teacher and the gun thing for a second. Okay, let's talk about this the teacher with the gun story part one This was it was this the coincidental event? Right after Trump said we should arm teachers and to a new school scare were following tonight this time a teacher with a gun What other categories could we think of

CHAPTER 19 / 51 Discussion

Dalton High School Teacher Shooting Incident

Social studies teacher Randall Davidson was arrested after barricading himself in a classroom and firing a handgun at Dalton High School in Georgia. The incident is discussed in the context of the national debate over arming teachers, serving as a counter-argument to President Trump's proposal.

dalton high school· randall davidson· georgia· armed teachers· aggravated assault

55:31 Teacher with a dildo, teacher with you know chainsaw. What else could the teacher have? And to a new school scare we're following tonight this time a teacher with a gun barricading himself inside his classroom and then firing a shot students running in fear and here's ABCs Steve Ozen Sambi on that front This was the panic this morning during third period at Dalton High School north of Atlanta after police say this popular social studies teacher had a breakdown and locked himself in an empty classroom with a handgun. He was telling people to go away? The principal who is outside the door says that 53 year old Randall Davidson wasn't making sense, and fired a bullet through a window they immediately evacuated the school Everybody started screaming and some teachers said get out get out

56:16 and we all just started running out, and I left everything in my book bag. We didn't finish eating." The school's armed security officer was off campus the only person with a gun was the teacher Well done! Yeah, that was a beautiful coincidence. Just beautiful. Yes this was done because Trump has said we should arm teachers who got it made. This story coincidentally comes up showing that if a teacher has a gun he can by the way... He'll go nuts They'll go nuts and by the way I kind of agree with that. I think in today's school system the teachers are so liberal and left yeah that I don't know if anyone could even touch a gun without getting the shakes

56:57 Oh, well there's this thing on that's going viral. It's not Anderson Pooper himself it's kind of like a look-alike of Pooper but it's a CNN piece and the reporter goes and learns how to shoot an AR 15. It's really fun, it's hilarious! And there are mean versions of it. I want to talk about that but let's Play clip part two of this clip because there's a element in here I have to ask you about. Police say the teacher agreed to surrender. Police tonight are announcing charges including aggravated assault and carrying a weapon on the school grounds, The teacher has not yet entered a plea. Okay... Aggravated assault? I don't think you can be firing a weapon through uh..the window at school they gotta call it something

57:45 They call it firehead discharging a firearm within the city limits, which almost all cities have that regulation. That's against the law. Maybe there is more to the story. Destroying school property is another thing but aggravated assault involves assaulting someone! Maybe there's more to the story? You don't know. Well if there's more to this story... Why am I listening to this network news report if they're not going to tell me what that more to the story is? Well you do that because that's your job. That's what I do, it's we both do. You're an apologist for ABC. Well how about this then NBC MSNBC think it's a very bad idea as well They all do but yes But not for the reasons you might think

AR-15 vs Handgun Ballistics, Lawrence O'Donnell

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell and other media figures are criticized for their technical descriptions of AR-15 ballistics. The discussion deconstructs claims regarding "bullet speed" and "overripe melon" tissue damage, arguing that the reporting is designed to create fear rather than provide accurate data.

ar-15· 9mm· ballistics· lawrence o'donnell· msnbc· bullet speed

58:30 You see because the teachers would be outfitted with a handgun which is obviously very inferior compared to an AR-15. Let's take a look at what teachers will be up against if they were armed with a handgun and confronted with a weapon like an AR 15, an AR 15 style rifle well that's a semi automatic weapon meaning it fires one round when the trigger is pulled then all automatically reloads the chamber making it ready to fire again. Handguns can also be semi-automatic but some, like revolvers they're not meaning it can take a lot longer to fire multiple rounds another big difference the speed of bullets The AR 15 can fire bullets between 2800 and 3000

59:17 thousand feet per second a nine millimeter handgun between 700 and 1100 feet per second the AR-15 can hold much more ammunition so it's it the bullets come out this fast yeah so if you shoot at the same time but you'll never kill him because you'll be dead first than a handgun. A typical AR-15 magazine holds 30 bullets while a 9mm handgun holds 15. Magazines that hold more are available for each firearm. One doctor who has seen AR-15 and handgun injuries gives a stark comparison of the damage each firearm can do to a person's body. She says, quote, routine handgun injuries leave an entry and exit wound and linear tracks throughout the victim's body that are roughly the size of a bullet."

1:00:03 When she saw the damage from a Parkland victim, she said the organ looked like an overripe melon smashed by a sledgehammer with extensive bleeding. Thanks for that now you recall... The ludicrous report It says, you know the idea is that you have something to protect yourself and you can wing the guy or shoot him. It doesn't make any difference what's the speed of a bullet as long as you hit him. But let's listen to Larry O'Donnell interpretation. Unbelievable! Let's listen to Larry's interpretation tell me what's wrong here? Stop the hammering! Stop the hammering!! 2182 miles per hour

1:00:48 That's how fast the bullets were moving when they came out of the barrel of that AR-15. How fast were they going? Just 200... or 2,000 miles per hour Yeah feet per second maybe! 2000 miles per hour?! I don't have the math in front me but It's 2700 feet per second Okay well thats different You have a sonic boom Yeah, what do you would at 2,000 miles an hour to he's full of crap two thousand one hundred eighty-two miles per hour That's how fast the bullets were moving when they came out of a barrel of that. It's Maybe it is maybe as well let's think about it You just knew them if I don't want to do the math is just well, but if it's 2700 feet per second

1:01:48 Then you divide by 60... How many feet are in a mile? I don't know. Maybe it is correct! Yeah, there's beside the point this whole idea of speed It's like ridiculous who cares?! I think... Well it's a bullet you can hit with old blunderbuss You get hit in the head and your dead STOP THE HAMMERING AR-15 and Marjory Stone when Douglas High School last week. 2,182 miles per hour 3200 feet per second that's what those kids were trying to outrun Now this is now this is getting faster out run a nine-millimeter, but you can't You see you can outrun the gun you can't outrun the bullet from the assault rifle

1:02:41 3200 feet per second. That's three times faster than the speed of a bullet leaving the barrel of a 9mm handgun. With a high capacity magazine, the AR-15 can fire maybe 90 or 100 bullets in a minute. A hundred in a minute? You're pulling pretty fast! A concealable handgun can fire...maybe 15 bullets So they're really on this faster bullet theory as the reason... The point of this is that I think it has to do with, well you know one thing for sure. The modern weaponry called the AR-15 which is so modern and was actually introduced in 1956 has got to go. According to who?

Parkland Investigation, Swastika Magazine Claims

ABC News reported that Nikolas Cruz left behind 180 rounds of ammunition and a magazine etched with a swastika during the Parkland shooting. The segment analyzes how the media uses these details to link the shooter to white nationalism and broader political narratives.

1:03:36 According to the Democrats, they're all... you can tell this is targeting one rival. No! They don't care! They don't care at all. They just want to win the elections. They don't care! You're knocking me back on my ass based on my own thesis. Yes I'm gonna wrap this up Well, you can't wrap it up because I have a couple clips left. Okay well yes all right well i have some stuff that folds into all of this so i'll listen to your clips go okay so i have this is uh again Muir and this is they're talking to the kids after we went back to finally going back to school and i want you i got two clips this is Muir first they tease the ammo some ammo information then they do the payoff in clip 2 but

1:04:27 You'll play clip one and we'll go from there. When it all happened, meantime we're also learning about the stunning amount of ammunition that gunmen left behind at the school. ABC's Victor Akendo at the scene tonight. The walk to school unlike any other before it students returning carrying flowers greeting officers some with signs of encouragement my school will never be the same though It will never be the same. It has changed forever yeah definitely. The students first stop their fourth period class, the same period they were in when the shooting began. The idea to allow them to spend time with those students they were with when the shots broke out. When I got into the classroom it was kind of like everyone stared at each other and got a little silent and then we all kinda like reunited. The freshman building where the attack occurred closed it will never be used again A reminder that this school is far from whole Today was weird strange emotional day How so?

1:05:19 In my Spanish class especially because one of our students didn't show up today because he was one of the 17th. So that was very upsetting. Okay, I listened to that clip again through the speakers now i realize what she said because when i first heard it i had deconstructed to say that's very exciting I don't think she said that. No, she said upsetting. Does it ruin your gambit? No, that was just the commentary because the gambit is still the tremendous amount of ammunition left behind that Muir teased

1:06:00 At the beginning of this clip, but he also teased it in a... In one of those two break to commercial teasers. Interstitial, interstitial, interstitial. Yeah and so he's teasing that but meanwhile you heard all this blather You didn't hear what's the number? How much tremendous amount What kind of cash or ammunition do you leave behind go to part 2 So that was very upsetting. Tonight, a law enforcement source tells ABC News Nicholas Cruz left behind nearly 180 unused rounds and one of the magazines were covered had a swastika on it. Yeah what? Okay 180 rounds which is okay big deal uh which I guess if you don't know what I mean five i guess there's too many bullets

1:06:41 for most people. So he had five or six magazines. What's the swastika got to do with this story? White nationalist, white Nazi... Have you seen pictures of it? He said not no of course not I haven't seen pictures of anything. The guy is a white separatist yes white nationalist white nationalist white nationalist that's what it is Trump obviously a trump supporter supposedly he had Kevlar vest on and all kinds of stuff know we don't know we're not gonna no one cares defund the NRA go Dems that's what this is about isn't screw the children by the way at hog kid the one who's making the rounds there so call that guy he sees you watch him he's gonna be a media personality he's got good he now he's gotta learn but he's got a good voice yes smooth skin

Therapy Animals at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High

As students returned to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the campus provided 150 grief counselors and various therapy animals. The inclusion of therapy goats is questioned, with a humorous aside regarding the animal's temperament and its historical association with satanic imagery.

1:07:29 Yeah, no I'm telling you watch this guy a couple years watch this guy. Watch this guy now I have my own Clip about classes resuming at the high school today students began the day by returning to their fourth period class That's the class they were in and the students They were with during the shooting sound one said one of the worst things about going back to school is that people? You'll no longer see in classrooms and the hallways We lost in the glasses I had like two of them in my glasses and it's gonna be very off Seeing the teachers in there and the students sitting in there, not them. So it's going to be very difficult for that." The building where 17 people were shot and killed two weeks ago will no longer be used It is going to be demolished and replaced With less space available school administrators had a drop a new master schedule To find rooms for all the classes and students There were some 150 grief counselors on hand today help students plus lots of therapy dogs also ponies and a goat What is it with goats?

1:08:32 I have no idea. Why are goats so therapeutic? Aren't they like a symbol of Satan or the devil, why- what is up with the therapeutic nature of goats?! I've owned goats! Not a fan of the goat You ever get butted? Yes, you feed them. You turn around those little crackers They'll just run up and but your right in the back of the knees and you buckle over And they jump around feel that's funny to them because you fall over backwards Yeah, but don't But the hand that feeds you Anyway, the pediatricians of America have a solution for all of this we know what to do It's very simple I think we've been talking about the war on crazy since

CHAPTER 23 / 51 Discussion

Pediatric Guidelines for Universal Depression Screening

The American Academy of Pediatrics has issued new guidelines calling for universal depression screening for all children aged 12 and older. Critics argue this is a move to increase the prescription of SSRIs and other psychiatric medications to minors.

american academy of pediatrics· depression· screening· ssris· mental health· teenagers

1:09:16 Well, Sandy Hook for sure. But before that we've been talking about the idea... well first of all... Columbine has to be one of the early... Yeah, but we weren't doing a show in Colorado Aurora Ah! That's where it comes from yes The War on Crazy So what? The weirdo with red hair and bug eyes so if you saw that little show the president put on with his lawmakers You know, there was conversation of well you know we got a...you're crazy. You've got mental health no gun for you on the list! On the list you and whatever this list will be if it'll be the Nixus, the firearms database or however whatever lists that will be that's the beginning of the end of The Republic because the next step is ah I see your on the list yeah maybe shouldn't live with near-the-school

1:10:09 You know, maybe you should actually just not even be in 200 yards of any children. Before you know it... ...you got a big problem on your hands and the pediatricians of America are helping this mission come to fruition! It's not uncommon for teenagers to withdraw from their parents cut them out of communication and sometimes parents don't want to pry. Adolescent psychiatrist Rachel Zuckerbrot says this dynamic is one reason teen depression can go undetected. So often people are suffering on the inside but it might not be obvious on the outside and sometimes it gets misdiagnosed because sometimes teenagers who are depressed or actually

1:10:45 acting out and misbehaving, and instead they are looked at as being hostile or bad when in fact they're really suffering from depression." Zuckerbrot says this is a problem. She's an associate professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia. Most teenagers with depression don't get access to mental health care. In fact about 50 percent of teenagers don't even get diagnosed To address this, the American Academy of Pediatrics sounds like fresh market meat. Get him! New guidelines call for universal screening. Hold on let me just they're calling I'm just gonna roll that back because this is important they're calling for new guidelines to address this The American Academy of Pediatric's new guidelines call for universal screening 14 depression What we're endorsing is that everyone who's 12 and up

1:11:29 be given at least once a year for their school physicals or sports physicals, depression screen that is self-report questionnaire. These questionnaires ask about whether they've been sad and irritable, they ask about whether things that used to be interesting are now boring, they ask if they're having difficulty with sleep either too much sleep or too little sleep." Zuckerbrot says families also need to know where to go Parents go to their pediatrician for vaccinations, for a high fever but don't realize that when there are emotional problems or behavioral problems that their pediatrician is going to be an excellent resource. And often the best place to start That's right! Get them on them drugs! You know what? Some drugs come on let's do it But this...the fact that school is doing this is I think Well this is the whole thing Everything is just conspiracy against the country I have one last clip

Pixley Middle School Attack Plot Arrests

Two 13-year-old girls were arrested in Pixley, California, for allegedly plotting an attack on their middle school. Local authorities found a gun and ammunition at their residence, leading to a discussion on how local "me too" gun stories are being used to maintain national anxiety.

pixley· california· middle school· school shooting· tulare county· arrests

1:12:22 because this is a clip I'm just at, there's a local clip. This didn't get any attention in any place else but iIm wondering because we see this kind of concerted effort especially with the teacher with the gun, I'm wondering if other local areas...this isn't the Salinas Valley, this KSBW channel 8 I'm wondering if this is happening just randomly around the country but it's not getting national news, just to excite the locals. Because this Florida story let's face it, it's in Florida! Let's face there are 33 thousand schools and the likelihood of you know being your school is nil but people get excitable. But then they say well that's Florida, Florida kind of nuts anyway so

1:13:06 So this is a local story, this is the Tulare County middle schoolers. Good stuff thank you Gina and this is new tonight out to Larry County deputies say they have arrested two girls who they say were plotting an attack on their middle school. Deputies say a tip led them to investigate that 2 13 year old girls in the city of Pixley investigators say they had been the two had been making threats against their school They found a gun and ammunition in their home Deputy say the girl's parents are assisting in their investigation Simple story yeah, they want you could pop this baby anywhere in the country do it whenever you want. You can pop it in Canada Anywhere? I think you were incorrect about The Canadians not being allowed to report on Shootings yeah, I got what I got a lot of feedback on that well. I get a lot of feedback

1:14:00 There is a, there's some... they have a limitation on what they can report. If it's a minor you can't, you definitely can't mention their name Well you can't do that here either Really? No You never hear of them mentioning the names of these girls and 13 year olds Well how about this Okay I don't think we play by those rules in our US media at all if there's a chance to abuse a child for ratings were all over it Hey give him some credit Name him Well, if the kid is about to be yacking away they can name him because it becomes a different situation but they can't name rape victims. There's a bunch of stuff you can do. It's okay but people are candidating brothers and sisters... The question in my mind is anyone else hearing these little

Contrave Diet Drug Side Effects, Suicidal Thoughts

A commercial for the weight-loss drug Contrave is analyzed for its disclosure of severe side effects, including suicidal thoughts in children and young adults. The drug, which functions similarly to an SSRI by targeting the brain's reward system, is criticized for being marketed despite these risks.

1:14:45 anecdotes about oh here's two teen to 13 year olds yeah they're plotting against the school they found a gun whose gun was it the parents guy that could have been anybody's gun dude one of the girls have a gun no this is just a me too story not hashtag but just we got us we got a gun story everybody hey all right here's time for the meeting you know how it works I do want point something very troubling out amidst this conversation, combo. Amidst this convo of SSRI's in combo... A convo of SSRIs in combo with all kinds of access to weapons with video games social media violence in general there's a whole bunch of things going on but your kid may not necessarily have to be depressed to be drugged up the way they want them to be

1:15:40 And this was, interestingly enough, this played on Fox. On Tucker's show I never expected him to get another pharma ad in his life so that's kind of interesting but listen to this great drug... You know it might be like your thesis you have a base thesis which is that there really want to scare people away from something actually they gravitate toward it cigarettes will kill you oh I'm gonna buy some This could be a good one but this drug We have an obesity issue in the United States. Certainly young people and children, there's a lot of obesity problems because we're not actually eating food we're eating plastic mac and cheese and we have... Delicious wood! Delicious wood fiber chips

1:16:28 And here's a drug that will fix it and listen to how it does it, and what the side effects might be. Kids! Help control cravings and lose weight with Contrave It is FDA approved to help adults who are overweight or struggle with obesity lose weight and keep it off. Contrave is believed to work on two areas of the brain. Is believes by the way. Yeah I love that. It always is believe. Contrave is believed to work on two areas of the brain. Your hunger center... I'm so hungry! And your reward system. Ice cream, french fries To help control cravings One ingredient in Contrave may increase suicidal thoughts or actions in some children teens and young adults in the first few months Don't really need to play it beyond that Why? Because its an SSRI

1:17:19 Is it? Yes! Of course it is. It appears or is believed to talk to your pleasure center and your craving center in your brain, yes that's an inhibitor, yes sir. And now they're selling as a diet medication... Stop with that joke Well, quit calling me sir. Why does it bother you so much? I don't know... Is it because you actually didn't serve in the military and your embarrassed? No that's not even in the least It's the uh...I think is disingenuous STOP! Stop the hammering!

1:18:15 But then, you have to be careful because it might cause suicidal thoughts or other aggressive behavior in children in the first few months. So they're going to recommend that to kids. Wait a minute! It's either for adults or not? Then why would you say the first few months with kids? Because that is in the commercial. That's obviously the target audience. Yes! Let's get them on this drug. Get them on the drug Hey fatso take this drug and with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C He stands for chuckling Dvorak And in the morning to everybody in the troll room hand me one-liners and other fun things man in the morning to Darren O'Neill

1:19:10 We used Darren's artwork for episode 1011. The title of that was Vasectomies and Dogs, not cryptic at all And this was the image of the FBI empty tip jar I'm not sure what it was but we liked it Well not only that but it actually got some compliments on the tweeters Yeah I saw that too It did So it was just we thought it did have two dimensions of humor the tip jar being empty And so there was two messages there and the fact. There's a tip jar at all yeah It was just a nice piece We looked at the other stuff it wasn't in there, you know we do is are we're getting? We're having we're doing more longer debating about these these artworks unless somebody comes up with something that's just unbelievable Well, that's also sometimes the quality is a lot of quality

1:20:01 Yeah, that's harder to choose from shit John's going like yeah. Not really it's whatever you want curry Sometimes we have a lot of high quality art and sometimes a lot of really low quality low fidelity Yeah And sometimes like I just missed the mark but regardless We are extremely grateful. We need some reminders, let's put some reminders out there do not use our pictures yeah do not use episode numbers Do not use episode numbers unless you in this is a one-shot but I would rather eat sometimes if it's a good piece maybe submit two pieces one with an episode number you go on without you can do that

1:20:39 And it is a great contribution to the show. It really does help, it's magical and we are one of the only shows that does that. And make sure that the lettering on some of the details is a little bigger than you'd normally like because we want to make sure its readable in the shrunken form. Yes Yeah, in the 256. He added more than me Adam Mourney's always can't read it That's what he says your impression of me is uncanny and truly is unbelievable I know people have I've done it on the phone with people and they like oh you sound just like curry So that there's a couple

1:21:21 Tips yes, no agenda art generator calm Thank You Darren O'Neill and thank you to all the artists who are always contributing it is highly appreciated although In waves things go often now I haven't really received any new end of show mixes for a couple of shows except for Chris Wilson who? Seems to have nothing else to do in life, but create early charity songs Honey what are you doing? I'm doing another mix for the boys. He actually gave us one this is a It's kind of a throwback to when we all had answering machines. Now, of course, we have voicemail but I think if you use this as your voicemail your answering machine... Remember those? You had celebrity greetings. Oh yeah! And you do whole tape mixes. Yes so pretend were still in 1982 and we have answering machines this might be a good one

California Democratic Convention, Distracted Walking Laws

At the California Democratic Convention, Senator Dianne Feinstein failed to secure an official party endorsement. Meanwhile, the city of Montclair has implemented a "distracted walking" ban, fining pedestrians for using cell phones or headphones while crossing streets.

1:34:36 Let's just talk. There he goes, yep! Let's play this clip this is just a little California politics thing wrapping things up I thought this was kind of interesting there's the Cal Dem we just had their convention the Democratic Convention at the statewide convention oh so what do they do with this convention? What does it mean? They say here's who were gonna run and here's who's good here's whose bad and then they I guess promote and... But that's for the local? State, like Feinstein for example. Ah okay Are you ready for the clip? Now to commitment 2018. Some big headlines from the California Democratic Convention in San Diego today, an upset for the state's longest serving US Senator Dianne Feinstein she failed to win the official endorsement of the State Party challenger Kevin De Leon secured 54% of the votes that also was not enough to win an endorsement The party also did not endorse Tony Mendoza he just resigned from the Senate amid a sexual harassment investigation

1:35:38 Two other embattled lawmakers were endorsed during votes in January. The party supported Christina Garcia before several people came forward this month with claims of a hostile work environment and harassment. The party also endorsed Senator Bob Hertzberg before the results of an investigation into inappropriate hugging. Oh my goodness! No, the place is falling apart. You gotta get out of that place man! Inappropriate hugging scares me Oh wait... you think that's scary? Listen to this An Inland Empire city is banning distracted walking Yeah in Montclair pedestrians cannot be on their cell phones or wear headphones or earbuds while crossing an intersection The city officials say there has been a big increase there and pedestrians dying in crashes

1:36:24 The penalty if you get caught, a $100 fine the first time up to 200 bucks the second time. If it's within a year of the first offense and up to 500 bucks if your busted again. Shut up slave! No distracted walking for you I would like to see him give one ticket out let alone three or four Well... It just seems like- They talk big game with some of these bull crap laws they put them on the books so they can just harass individuals Yeah, it's also virtue signaling in a way. What is that black guy doing in the town here? I've never seen him before. Are you channeling a Democrat now? I'm channeling a cop...a Democrat cop In California? In California yeah this my democrat cop guy. Yeah what are we going to do about him he's in town here walking around. Is he homeless you think?

Social Media Algorithm Changes, SPLC YouTube Policing

Facebook's algorithm changes have reportedly led to a 45% decline in engagement for President Trump's page. Additionally, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is now assisting YouTube in policing "extremist" content, raising concerns about the censorship of legitimate conservative voices.

1:39:00 Yeah, and I think it's true for all of the social nets. Yeah a bunch of San Francisco liberals But the most egregious is what YouTube is doing and this kind of happened over the past day or two The Southern Poverty Law Center is assisting YouTube in policing content on their platform The left-wing nonprofit has recently come under fire for labeling legitimate conservative organizations as hate groups It is currently one of more than 100 non-government organizations and government agencies in YouTube's Trusted Flaggers program that help police YouTube for extremist content, ranging from so called hate speech to terrorist recruiting videos.

1:39:40 I think... Where's, who is this woman? Is that Liz? No. That's a crappy ass thing. I just wanted to clip but didn't want to read it just to break it up there someone else reading the story you got it yeah um I think the social nets are in big trouble I don't see any evidence of this. No, i think they're gonna be in dire straits. This thing is wishful thinking! No there's legislation coming already... I think they have egg on their face as they have to have 10 just for YouTube alone ten thousand people to monitor the content what happened to their AI and machine learning and all that? They got none of that! You are making me laugh! They have none of it

1:40:27 And I'm telling you they're gonna come out with some kind of Sochnet Ledge. Oh God! I can do this forever, I think I've got it now. You gotta write that one down. Sochnet ledge. Sochnet ledge That's right baby Maybe that's a show title sochnet ledge. I was thinking about it. The problem with that being as show titles is ledge Yeah Is impossible to spell in any way that would make sense Let's just fill it led GE and it would be a pun that would be good But I mean so you don't think so. I think that this is going to I don't think so Yeah, yeah we already as wishful thinking I think this has been going on because you know not wishful thinking without face bag We lose half of the cool stuff to talk about I don't want it to go away I think it's going to go away or not people will stop using it this happens

1:41:18 We've seen this, to think that any big... GeoCities, MySpace, AOL. I can go on forever. I can go on forever and say the following nothing has gone away without being replaced by something slightly better or different enough. I agree with that So something would have to replace Facebook. But we've never... There's nothing on the horizon and nobody like Google or all these other experts, they can't seem to put anything together that is even a minor threat Well I'm just looking at the overall media landscape how the social nets are being discussed what the convo is about the social net

Technology Impact on Child Development, Motor Skills

British pediatricians warn that excessive iPad use is preventing children from developing the hand strength necessary to hold pencils. A study cited in The Guardian links high screen time to delays in expressive speech and the erosion of basic motor skills in toddlers.

1:42:03 And, you know we've never had a big community before or a big website that was making people sick like this is. Seriously. Well there's that, and nobody identifies that! That's us at the show... Well but people are starting to catch on we're noticing more and more things how you know Professor Ted would be very proud when you hear this report A group of doctors say kids use so much tech that they cannot hold a pen or pencil because they lack the hand strength in dexterity British pediatricians are blaming the erosion of basic motor skills on the change in culture among parents who rely heavily on technology. Pediatric occupational therapist Sally Payne told The Guardian, quote, it's easier to give a child an iPad than encouraging them to do muscle building plays such as building blocks

1:42:53 One mother admitted to reporters that she had only given her son high-tech gadgets to play with, leaving him unprepared for grade school. The mother also telling the Guardian said quote when he got to school they contacted me with their concerns He was gripping his pencil like cavemen held sticks a 2017 study found at the screen time of children under two years old was linked to delays in them learning basic expressive speech as a toddler No muscles to hold a pencil. Yeah, what are you doing? What is this rubbery kid doing here? He's got no muscles his bones are gone By the way the Zephyr just went by and it's 11 o'clock. Oh they're late very late

1:43:39 What was I going to say about this? Oh, yeah. So there's all kinds of studies coming out now. Do you know how much screens... What kind of a mom is giving the kid this stupid... Every mom! Are you around kids even? How about Theodorable? the adorable I see him twice a week and I don't see him with an iPad or anything. Jessie's such a nutcase, she's gonna definitely be not going to let this happen. She's gonna make the kid give them a piano or something." But look at who we're talking about! You're talking about the Dvorak clan that's very different from you know most people in the Milky Way

1:44:22 Well, that's probably true. But parents handing an iPad to children in the stroller? I see it all the time! Yeah well there is actually a stroller that has an iPad holder. Oh you've never seen it? No, doesn't surprise me. It's a Japanese stroller, got the iPad built for them. Doesn't surprise me. Do you know how many hours a day kids have so-called screen time Well, what do you mean by kids? Ah not black because there's a second statistic for black kids. The black is are luckier if it's lower So this typical screen time is eight hours No no just a teenager Oh a teenager. Yes teenager eight hours a day of Too much too much time believe me Black Kids in America that's where the study was done ten hours

CHAPTER 33 / 51 Discussion

Screen Time Statistics, Self-Healing Human Body

Discussion focuses on statistics showing teenagers spend up to eight hours a day on screens, with even higher rates for certain demographics. A theory is proposed that the human body will eventually reject these unhealthy digital habits as people become more aware of the associated health issues.

screen time· teenagers· health· addiction· social media· instagram

1:45:19 Oh, that's not good. And the correlation is that more screen time equals poorer performance, poorer health, poor everything? Yeah well that's why the black kids would have more screen time we're trying to do everything we can to prevent them from getting norm into this...into the whatever mainstream Well I do believe...I believe... I DO BELIEVE! Fuck you. I believe- We're on each other's case today! That's okay, but you're in a good mood. Everybody enjoys the banter But you're in an exceptionally good mood today. I'm not sure why did you get lucky last night? Is Mimi around? No she can't be. I spoke to her yesterday She's not with you. She's trying to help your you out Yeah because she's trying to help me Now shoot now I forgot what I was saying

1:46:09 You're talking about screen time. I was talking about you know trying to get the kids into the mainstream and they're all getting sick Yeah, well they're getting sick And I think that the human body is is self-healing and it will eventually start to reject things that are bad for it III just don't see Okay, this back your thesis yeah? I think the acceptance is waning people as I see kids Well they certainly are no longer on the face bag They've been dumbed down to Instagram So you're saying the body self-healing, that's why people get addicted to opioids die because that's their methodology for no. No, I correct. Yeah, I think that happens all the time. No! People are starting to reject it and it is possible. I think they're starting... Kids! I see more and more kids and parents getting wise to the health issues surrounding this And stories like this-I'm just looking at the media landscape-I think we're going to see some real blowback But you're right nothing will change until there's some kind of alternative People love the social media

1:47:13 It's adorbs. Doesn't sound as good when I say it If we can get you to do it right, well that'll be the best thing ever Yeah, I don't know if I can manage it But people love it! Everyone I know...I said well catch your back off of this This thing is unhealthy I'm not a member, I don't use it You know? I got nothing to do with it I don't have a fake membership in the background or anything like that How do you do it? How do you get by your how, do you keep up with your old friends from high school? Well look I'm yeah But who asked that who asked about my old friends in high school a lot of people. Do that yet to you Oh, yeah, remember fat Betty. She's really at all now.

Pop Culture Podcasts, The Bachelor, Unreal TV Show

A segment from a pop culture podcast discussing "The Bachelor" is analyzed for its focus on reality TV drama. The scripted drama "Unreal" is recommended as a more accurate depiction of the manipulative behind-the-scenes production of reality television.

the bachelor· unreal· reality tv· pop culture· the free beacon· constance zimmer

1:48:04 I hear that a lot. Actually, I think I hear women do that more often. Uh...I don't know what men do. I have- I don't stalk anybody in the face bag. Women are- have a funny cattiness so i'm listening to different podcasts yes it's and there's a new one that came out from uh or what's the name of that this is The Beacon or what's it called? The Free Beacon which is a news source that we use yeah sure we get up very good reporters there they seem to know what and they have good perspective on things. So the couple of them, two of the women who I'll leave their names out of this and a couple other guys they decided to do a podcast around number three and they're saying this is the best podcast so far on anything. And what they tend to do is they drift off into pop culture and do exactly what you like talking about and here's just a segment

1:49:00 analysis of the Bachelor TV show. Chris Harrison says it all the time but I think this one was true, it was real we had Becca K's ex-boyfriend of seven years return fly out to Peru and randomly show up and talk to Ari and I have to say I would have walked away with Becca K's ex boyfriend in a heartbeat Oh, he was such a stud. In a heartbeat! He's way better than Ari are you kidding? It is incomparable how much better he is than Ari. He brought her flowers... He greased his hair extra drippy. Yeah, you can wash out hair grease trips either like Ross actually paid for the trip himself. He bought her flowers himself. Give me a break what a bunch of sloppy whores

1:49:50 You guys are spewing right now. Oh man, that's 49 seconds of my life I will never get back. Never get it longer But and by the way, I had to run that there. I hit I don't want to tell any podcasters how they do their job We'll do a seminar someday but I had to run that thing through a compressor and I like to make it have levels even some guys down here is they are up there this all over the map and I mean you could wave form was like frightening to look at but they They had the, uh... it's just they started going into this gossipy discussion of TV shows. They actually believe that reality TV is real back in- Yeah they were believed as real and it's not being directed and I told him to watch my favorite show on In This Regard if people don't have a clue which is Unreal

1:50:47 which is on I think Lifetime Networks. And Unreal is a drama, but it's about the behind-the-scenes... Oh, I've heard of this! ...of a reality show starring Constance Zimmer who plays the most evil person director producer imaginable she's great and this thing you watch this and you get it and you know what they're doing as though it's probably pretty close to what goes on It's just nasty You know, because you kind of mentioned two women. Those were the two women that were bickering? Yes! They're the ones who are going over how handsome the guy was... Right and they would steal from the other girl that they would do that in a heartbeat there's an article from University of Arizona about hostility in the workplace discrimination hostility what are the other words here

Queen Bee Syndrome, Workplace Sexual Harassment Stats

The "Queen Bee Syndrome," where women in power are uncivil to female subordinates, is discussed alongside a controversial statistic claiming 21% of women are forced to have sex in the workplace. These figures are challenged as being hyperbolically high and unrepresentative of typical office environments.

queen bee syndrome· camille paglia· sexual harassment· workplace· usa today· statistics

1:51:43 Well, across three studies they found consistent evidence that women reported higher levels of incivility from other women. than about their male counterparts. And they call this the Queen Bee Syndrome Oh yeah, in fact that's exactly it I know this syndrome and that's the phrase i've heard before. I had not heard this so what do you know about the queen bee syndrome? It's women...it's like alpha versus beta males You know when one of them tries to boss the other The queen bee tries to take over the place She is like an alpha male type It causes all kinds of problems

1:52:20 Women have a lot of, they bicker a lot. I was talking about that sort of thing, I was looking at Camille Paglia had written an essay... I like her! I think i read this essay, another unpopular one for her base? They're always unpopular but she's such a great writer and she is going on about, I can't remember, maybe I'll try to figure it out for next show we'll have the link put in the show notes In there, it was a new... I think it ran in USA Today or this graph ran in USA Today. It was Camille doing her normal anti-feminist feminist rants and in there they had this chart and one of our producers sent this little article to me and they had this chart and I actually went back at her with some about this chart being added by an editor

1:53:13 Because it obviously had nothing to do, Camille wouldn't put it in there. And in the chart they make this claim 21% of all women have been forced to have sex in the workplace Really? That's bull crap! I doubt if 21 percent of all women have ever had sex in the workplace ever let alone be forced That's an outrageously high number. That's saying that 21% of all women have been forced to have sex, I don't believe that number either! And where is this office? What office is this? Where can we visit?

1:54:01 I don't know any guys, of all the guys that have ever worked with and I've worked in an out-of-offices. I don't know anybody who's had workplace sex." Ah! I do know that my first big company Think New Ideas? Yeah That some of the dudes named Ben...and i was friendly with them then of course. There was one who had had sex with someone else from the office on my desk. Ha ha ha ha One of those and one of those like the George there's a Seinfeld episode where George Costanza has workplace sex not forced but workplace sex with the cleaning lady in the office. I mean, yes, I think that certainly around The media companies there was a lot of sex going on shoot man you go to the White House Hope Hicks But

Menstrual Cramps vs Heart Attacks, CBD Benefits

A report from Marie Claire claiming that menstrual cramps can be as painful as heart attacks is discussed. The use of CBD tea is suggested as an effective remedy for menstrual pain, while the comparison to cardiac events is met with skepticism.

menstrual cramps· heart attacks· cbd· marie claire· medical studies· pain

1:54:52 Well, that'd be one person. Right? It's not 21% of the staff being forced to have sex! Let me give you... This is bullcrap and this stuff gets propagated Allow me to give you another stat And this may be true I don't know This is from Marie Claire Who used to be my client so I still read their newsletters and see what's going on Doctors have finally ruled menstrual cramps are as painful as heart attacks Wow Yes, I've heard this was all over the tweets Mmm, okay. Everybody's retweeting all the women are retweeting Oh look look look told you so yeah, I should mention it differs apparently CBD is quite Very very good for menstrual cramps yes Extremely helpful drink in his tea oh yeah? Yeah definitely But I'd love to hear from our female producers

1:55:50 Yeah, how many people... anybody? And how bad does a heart attack hurt. I don't know, I haven't had one of those either Well if some woman has had both a heart attack and menstrual cramps which would be If you had a heart attack, I'm sure you had both. Uh...I'd like to hear that and i'd like to hear how many peop- I don't want to hear from everyone saying I've never had sex in the office! I'm assuming that. I wanna know how many people have had sex in the office or know somebody who's had sex in the office and how many people would know if somebody forced sex in the office because there should be thousands of you according to this because if we go to 21% Well recall

1:56:29 the incredible statistic of people with obesity that 40% in the studies said they wanted to be invisible because of some kind of abuse. So there's definitely abuse in the world and a lot of it. And maybe, John you and I were just dudes what do we know? We're not... We know enough that common sense kind of takes precedent over crazy statistics that are bull crap this is the same thing where they're claiming all these-we did a bunch of clips on this Where all these supposed college sexual assaults many times amounted to nothing. There was no sexual assault Well, I guess the definition is what is forced sex? I don't think it's hard to figure out what force means Yeah, force is easy you're right. I dunno well

New Zealand Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Release

New Zealand authorities plan to release a Korean strain of rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHDV1-K5) to cull the invasive rabbit population. The discussion touches on the ethics of using viruses for pest control and compares the situation to kangaroo management in Australia.

1:57:19 We'd like to know about that? We'd like to know about... We find none, zero. I'd like to know about the severity of the menstrual cramps and i've been advised if I just keep talking you eventually find out how bad heart attack is. I thought it was mean joke honestly but that's a troll room for ya. It was just mean. Yeah, yeah, using that- I don't why are relying on that material so much Because its knee slapping stuff! No, thigh slapping. Thigh slapper New Zealand, another local boots on the ground report we need has a rabbit problem and they're going to deal with it by releasing... Killing the rabbits? Yes. With hemorrhagic disease. Isn't that where you just fizzle and bleed on the inside? You bleed to death. It's like Ebola. Out your eyes out your ears out your fingernails And is that the same with rabbits

1:58:12 Yeah, well they got big ears. I'm reading this BBC article and you know the question of course is how will they die? And they say well... A miserable death! No they don't say that. They said no some just die quickly. I don't think it's true So there's this virus, it's a Korean strain of hemorrhagic rabbit fever. RHDV1-K5 affects the animals' internal organs... This only never works out by the way but the rabbits are I guess ruinous in New Zealand. Oh no! There is a huge problem with the rabbits you know in Australia, in Australia the kangaroos man that they're not liked

1:59:00 Yeah, but they're not gonna kill kangaroos. They're indigenous. Rabbits aren't. Uh excuse me? They have entire programs to kill uh um... But not eradicate them because you mean eradicate they have to eradicate the rabbits they're not going to eradicate kangaroos Remember I went out with a roo shooter and he had 40 tickets that means he could shoot 40 kangaroos that night The kangaroos are in that country Yeah, what did we do? What are you talking about? What's the kangaroo population in Australia another 40 million history 40 million. Look forties is nothing How many how many people 10 million? How many sheep yeah and how many of them look really scared uh brother yeah i'm sorry yeah he should be I just thought that the hemorrhagic fever was was curious to me Yeah it is very curious can we play some clips yep

Jeff Sessions vs Donald Trump, FISA Abuse

President Trump publicly criticized Attorney General Jeff Sessions for tasking the Inspector General with investigating FISA abuse rather than using Justice Department lawyers. ABC News reporting on the friction is scrutinized for claiming Sessions told Trump to "fire me," a phrase not found in his official statement.

jeff sessions· donald trump· fisa· inspector general· pierre thomas· abc news

1:59:57 I have a clip of this is the big scandal Jeff Sessions are trying to get him to quit too by making them out not of a moza every time Trump tweets if i can just back you up for second What you have asserted previously, and I'm kind of on board with it is Sessions he's got the double pension ready to go so be double dipping making all kinds of money. He actually wants to be forced into retirement that's kinda been your your assertion? Well it's getting closer but that doesn't mean that ABC has to pretty much lie their way through this story. This is Jeff Sessions versus Trump. The president tonight taking aim at his attorney general, Jeff Sessions. This is not new but what IS new... Not new! ...is that the AG is now firing back. Here's ABC's Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas. The President has made his frustration with his Attorney General well known for months I am disappointed over

2:00:54 In the Attorney General, he should not have recused himself. If he was going to recuse himself, he should've told me before he took the job and I would've picked somebody else! A lot of people are disappointed in the Justice Department including me Tonight for the first time, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is firing back It comes after this tweet today from the president slamming Sessions. The president believes Session has not done enough to investigate allegations the FBI abused surveillance powers in the Russia investigation, the president tweeting why is AG Jeff sessions asking the inspector general to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse will take forever has no prosecutorial power

2:01:37 Isn't the IG an Obama guy? Why not use Justice Department lawyers? Disgraceful. After months of responding diplomatically to the president's attacks... Well, um it's kind of hurtful but the President of United States is a strong leader Today Sessions stood up to the president writing in his statement quote we have initiated the appropriate process that will ensure complaints against this department will be fully and fairly acted upon if necessary As long as I am Attorney General, I will continue to discharge my duties with integrity and honor.

2:02:21 That's right, David. President Trump in that tweet told Sessions to use Justice Department attorneys telling him how to do his job but tonight sources say the message from Sessions was blunt let me do the job as I see fit or fire me. It never said that! It never said fire me. The words fired me were never used this is bullcrap it was so clear the message was clear They just lied right there. I know, well there's a lot of lying going on, surprise! And by the way Pierre Thomas is one of the worst at this you compare him and he basically has the same kind of gig on the show as Jeff Pagais does on CBS. I can't even run Jeff Pagais material because i'm just stealing Jeff Pagais' material because he never makes these screw ups

Admiral Mike Rogers, Russian Election Interference

NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee that he has not been granted, nor has he requested, additional authority to act against Russian election interference. This contradicts media narratives suggesting Trump is actively blocking the NSA from defending the country.

mike rogers· nsa· russia· election interference· richard blumenthal· npr

2:03:11 Jeff Pegues is great. Yeah, although it sounds like he's trying to say poop guy He's much better I agree well There's a lot of lying going on surrounding the rather long combo that went on in in the house regarding cyber and we had General Keith no not Keith Is it right Keith Rogers? from the NSA? Oh no, it's just...no. It's the other guy same name as the other Rogers yeah Peter? Hank No, it's not Peter. John Jeff Ron Oh my good Mike! Mike! Mike! Mike Rogers got it and so all I heard for the past 24-hour news cycle which I watch diligently for all of you is our job is Trump won't even let him defend us against the Russians

2:04:07 In exactly that voice, by the way. So the concept is that the admiral himself who was running NSA said well you know the president won't let me do anything he hasn't given me the order and just everyone's outraged because this is an act of war it's Pearl Harbor how can then you know Putin loves him worse than Pearl Harbor And Trump, it was quid pro quo, collusion in the WikiLeaks emails whatever. But even in their own reporting... It's not the truth! Admiral Rogers tells the Senate Armed Services Committee he has neither requested nor gotten additional authority to That's it I mean I'll play the rest of the clip but He hasn't requested it either

2:04:56 He hasn't asked for it! Wow, play that little clip again. Yeah I'm gonna play... It's 38 seconds the whole thing but just it's crazy. Admiral Rogers tells the Senate Armed Services Committee he's neither requested nor gotten additional authority to act against Russia's election interference. Additional? Here is Connecticut Democrat Richard Blumenthal pressing him on what that means. You mean leading the witness Would you agree with me that the Russians have been in no way deterred from- Oh yes sir I think that's true They're doing it with impunity they could care less what we think They're continuing to attack us. Yes, sir So thus far the response of the United States of America to this ongoing attack has been completely inadequate It hasn't changed The calculus is my sense still Roger says it's not his place to tell President Trump what he should or should not do about Russia and that was from NPR And they had the facts and the guys I haven't requested any additional powers

PBS NewsHour, Russian Hacking Skepticism

A PBS NewsHour segment on Russian hacking reveals that while 21 states saw "probes" or "scans" from Russian IP addresses, no vote totals were changed. The discussion argues that the primary goal of these reports is to "sow distrust" in the American electoral system rather than address a technical threat.

2:05:51 What does that mean like I can finally do the D-Dollars? What additional powers is he need on none. It's no Blumenthal's a douchebag Yes, well we have a report on the Russian hacking they brought two experts into the PBS news hour And this went on forever, by the way. So this is a very short beginning but it's worth commenting on Welcome to both of you to the NewsHour David Becker to you first In sum what did the Russians do to election systems in this country in 2016? Nothing What we know from testimony from the intelligence community and elsewhere Is that they attempted to probe or scan several state systems

2:06:33 probably most notably voter registration database systems. Geez, there's a lot of attempted probably probe or scan or... Almost all of those scans and probes were unsuccessful. There was one instance in Illinois where they successfully accessed voter data about 70 thousand records or so in June and July 2016 but no records were altered or deleted And I don't know if it is in this report but what I hear about this story is you know they were planning to delete people I mean, is that really their plan? We're going to delete people from the database. Yeah yeah yes by the way if you one time i went in to vote and my name wasn't there for some reason and they just said my name's not here supposed to be here and i showed him a driver's license they gave me a temporary ballot i voted of course and that works in every in every state that way it yeah

2:07:30 I think maybe there's five or six states where you have to prove citizenship of the United States, but yeah. Well, I had a driver's license so it was good enough... That doesn't prove citizenship! But you're in California, you just need to have... We don't need proof. You just need a piece of paper with your name on it! Just a piece of paper with your name on it. Yeah I scribble my own name on there and I'm good to go. Good to go yes. We also know from the intelligence community and from multiple investigations all around- Maybe they can clean up the database while they're in there? Fix the records, we've got some duplicates guys if you could do that. Holy crap these guys don't have their rows of- Select star dem from- Let's fix this for them Perfect. Hey, why isn't that playing? What happened? Oh

2:08:11 of 2016 but no records were altered or deleted. We also know from the intelligence community and from multiple investigations all around the country that there were no successful efforts to... I'm sorry interrupt again, but i'm surprised they haven't said they could bleach bit it! I mean something like that a little more creativity people To change votes or change vote totals or tallies throughout the United States Denise Merrill what about what happened in your state of Connecticut? we know there was an effort made by the Russians there Yes, we were one of 21 states apparently that were scanned at least by Russian IP addresses. Again our firewalls and our systems held they were trying to get into our voter registration database which I think is similar to what happened in the other states

2:08:58 I think the good news is they didn't get in. And, uh, and I think that's pretty much true in all the other states with that one exception that David mentioned. And Denise Merrill staying with you what evidence or belief do you have right now that they are continuing to try to do that? Uh, In this 2018 midterm election year Well, I do think the threat of Russian interference in our elections is real. Uh...I've become convinced of that uh... not only by what has happened but what could happen i think we're all on alert now that there could be other attempts. I honestly think that the biggest goal they have at this point to sow distrust in the American public and their elections That may be the most dangerous thing of all

2:09:44 You are doing, you're carrying Putin's water then baby. So distrust now I thought about this because i've heard this meme before UF2 This is what they did because they can't really find the Russians actually doing anything as if maybe they can maybe they can and maybe it's not even the Russians just Russian IPS I mean I could spoof one of those Can I just...I told a story before I'll be brief about it for the newbies here in The Best Podcast In The Universe If I go to look at my email server, which i run my own if I look at it right now. I will see 10 scans a second from China from Russia from all over the place and they just scan them They're just scanning ports their trying passwords you pew pew pew pew pew this happens all the time is nothing special Nothing

2:10:33 It's the so distrust this is that is the show. So as in showing no distress of love and so W distrust. I bet you if I went out to the street even anywhere California where they be more beautiful. Believe in that this kind of thing might be going on and ask about if people are starting to distrust the system because the Russians Are behind all these hacks or they're trying to hack. That's bullcrap Nobody is even thinking that but there keep promoting the idea that it's though Russians are trying to sow Distrust yeah, well the only people doing that are the nor their people sowing distrust Yeah, that's them the ones who were bitching at Monan I don't think people care

OTA is old time radio over the air yes that one Yes uh this is a big story around here and everyone's all on a tizzy about it

2:12:13 This is the tech buses. The tech buses are being targeted by some gunman. Oh, wait these are the tech buses that were first targeted by feces and puke and piss bags? Yes. Explain the tech bus. Okay, well Google but these are most of these tech buses nowadays are Apple buses. Because apparently a lot of Apple employees live in San Francisco and they don't like the idea of commuting to Cupertino every day because it's during any kind of reasonable hour of commute that's over an hour drive And it's a pain in the ass and then you know just then I got look for parking

2:12:58 So it's a pain in the ass and Google has got a lot of people who live in San Francisco. I don't know why these kids, they all live in San Francisco instead of Redwood City and so they have to take these...so they came up with this idea of these tech buses and those buses have...they're like city buses, they have stops them and they pick up the tech workers and the tech workers go down the peninsula to the offices of Google or Apple, or whoever it is that's hauling them down. I mean Google and Apple are the big ones... And do they all get on the bus wearing their Google Glass? We are going to work! No, because that's so passe now. It's not even funny. So people have been irked by this because things are clogging up San Francisco streets there are so many I don't know how many is there a hundred? I'm not sure. That's quite a lot There's a lot of buses and they're all these... Do you see like three or four buses in a row sometimes? I've never seen one of these buses

2:13:53 It's just in the news. I don't go to San Francisco that often. Because there is too much poop over there! Anyway, so... On the street? On the street when you're walking on sidewalks You know, you'd think these people would curb their poop. Don't you think? I remember the signs, curb your dog...I don't think that's a phrase from the Shays now it's so old. I don't think anyone uses that because if you give your poop in off the curb into kind of like the street but that curbed area if it rains it'll wash the poop into the sewer sewage system but if you're just pooping in the middle of the sidewalk its disgusting as if the others not Anyway, back to the story. Let's just play clip one.

2:14:51 about the unusual step that police are taking to try to catch their suspect, including even calling in the FBI. Good afternoon and thanks for joining us I'm Larry Diehl And i'm Kristen Zee in for Ama Dates The attacks happened on shuttle buses along Interstate 280 but the CHP revealed today that when the buses moved to Highway 101 The gunmen follow them there Oh man! They're taking shots at the bus Are they some guys fired from Apple? Oh that could be yeah pissed off if it's just an Apple Bus Yeah, the story seems to be centered around Apple buses. Of course reporting on this is pretty lame because... Is that the end of clip one? Yes. Clip two kind of shows you why I think it's lame. Since mid-January the CHP says at least 20 charter buses have been hit with bullets from either a BB gun or rifle. Oh well okay geez

CHAPTER 42 / 51 Discussion

Monetizing Networks, No Agenda Cryptocurrency Idea

A proposal to launch a "No Agenda" cryptocurrency or token via an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is explored. The concept suggests that the value of the show's producer network could be quantified through a proprietary altcoin, potentially allowing both hosts and the audience to benefit financially.

cryptocurrency· ico· no agenda coin· blockchain· marketing· holland

2:15:45 That was no good. What kind of BB gun shoots a bullet? Yeah, that was bad This is the like ooh guns eek well here's a tip Don't watch local TV It's stupid it's really stupid so I'm coming around to one of our older ideas before the show This came to me actually I've been doing a lot of research about networks and value You know one of my main mantras is you can't monetize the network and what I mean by that not even a mantra It's like a pet peeve Yes, and what? I mean by that is that when you have a network of people doing things which is what Twitter is And I said there's really only one company that has figured out how to do it Really Google is the one that does it right but even face bag

2:16:31 You know, yeah they're the only game in town and they're trying to keep people locked in but the swirling is slowing down. It slows down their home you really can't do it that's just...you know The minute you have a network of content that is made by other people you can't monetize off of it Just doesn't work I've seen it we don't see it happening Facebook is an extreme outlier for a number of reasons but If you if you look at our own network, so we have a network and then he really got to take your mind out of the idea of Facebook is like some Magical place on the internet. It's just the website it's no different. This is you know they got more servers But it's no different from the bits and bytes that we send around the universe on this show So these networks are created They're not proprietary they run over the Internet and our Network is is of all these different

2:17:21 skill sets and interests and money. There's all kinds of things that flow around in our network, and I think it's incredible... In fact, I'm working on this as a new phrase that the network is actually the value. And strangely enough what you put in you get equally out what you need if you really contribute to it. The reason I've been looking at this is a buddy of mine who I work with him for... we go back 28-29 years He's starting a music company ICO, an initial coin offering. Which we talked about doing for our show and the idea that i had was we figure out how to launch our own token our own altcoin if you will uh...and then everyone participates in we all get rich and we all retire hosts and audience at the same time so producers and executive produce everyone just retires because we made money

2:18:21 And now that I've really looked into how this works and he's been bugging me, says do you want to help with the marketing? I'm gonna do it. In fact i'll probably be in Holland next week we'll still do the show but I'm going to learn how this works and I think I'm coming up with an idea that will actually work for our show with our own cryptocurrency that if It will that will actually show the value of our network, and I think I know it sounds a little little incomplete at this at this time there am in sorry there am in You caught me off guard on the theremin Now we're talking everybody. That's right the no agenda coin. I'm working on it. It's very very interesting

2:19:19 Thing that's happening with these ICOs very interesting, okay So I well. I mean I'm not gonna discourage you I know you want is you're gonna go off on your own anyway doing some idea that you think is valuable because That's what I do. It's why I can't say this there's a dog no no oh I don't know. There's a bunch of people that have been telling us to do this and we can help, you know like I said they can help Let me ask you a question John Do you buy stocks? You buy bonds? Do you buy stocks and bonds? Just answer the question. Do you buy stocks and bonds? Not as much as real estate Do you want to get rich? I'm gonna make you leave your wife rich. You're going be so rich you're gonna leave her Too bad Mimi

Mike Pompeo BBC Interview, Vladimir Putin Botox

CIA Director Mike Pompeo's interview with the BBC is discussed, specifically his confidence in the 2018 elections. A humorous aside explores a rumor that the US considered leaking Vladimir Putin's Botox schedule as a form of psychological warfare.

mike pompeo· cia· vladimir putin· botox· major garrett· bbc

2:33:54 And he had, what do you have on? Who doesn't have a podcast. Yeah Jim Lewis. Well they were talking about Trump and Putin and what can we do about Putin and I learned some interesting news. I have every expectation that they will continue to try and do that but i'm confident that America will be able to have a free and fair election that will push back in a way that is sufficiently robust that the impact they have on our election won't be great That is the voice of CIA Director Mike Pompeo January 29th, 2018 in a BBC interview. Jim Lewis vice president senior vice president at the Center for Strategic International Studies I love how he's trying to do his radio voice you hear that? He doesn't talk like that on television he's really trying to do an announcer guy thing

2:34:39 This is a problem, you know, lot of pros that move from... I mean it's not like he hasn't got a great job at the network. But they go to podcasting and they think-I don't know what they think it is. Hmm well It's not a great sound for him. Ew January 29th, 2018 in a BBC interview. Jim Lewis, Vice President... Senior Vice President at the Center for Strategic International Studies is our guest here at the takeout. A couple things to talk about there. confident America will have a free and fair election. Then he says, we'll push back in a way that is sufficiently robust what does that mean? We don't know that's been one of the problems and previous administration struggled with it as well my favorite is still when discussing with them what are things we could do back to the Russians one of the ideas they had was well suppose we leak Vladimir Putin's Botox injection schedule I said is that the best we can do

2:35:37 We know what that is yes But that's why he looks so stern all the time as you can't move his face You know it's like a little sympathy for the guy. I mean, it's probably just a little maybe I Think he was being truthful. I think Putin does use Botox Why oh lots of men do it these days John? I get accused of it all the time and Tina the Keeper still doesn't believe it. Birds do it, bees do it Even little podcasters do it We gotta need a song that has Let's Do It! Let's Botox our face You are in quite the mood today I'm telling you something is going on Well we know that certainly in California where you live John The Democrats are very clear Just all leaders there Are very clear why they want immigrant workforce Because its cheap

Immigration and Cheap Labor, Justin Trudeau

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is criticized for his stance on immigration, with the hosts arguing that businesses desire high immigration levels primarily for cheap labor. The discussion draws parallels between modern labor demands and historical systems of exploitation.

justin trudeau· canada· immigration· cheap labor· agriculture· slavery

2:36:38 Right? Exactly. We need these immigrants to pick tomatoes. Yeah, you know in my theory of the cycle of history and history repeating itself it just gets better when you think about all these convos going on about illegal aliens voting and we might get to a place where will say well tell you what okay we had some illegal aliens voting but will count those like one third vote See, then we'll really have subhumans because they're only worth a third of a vote picking stuff in the fields for the same Democrats who did this with slaves. Yeah it's really... Right! It's a cycle man is coming around

2:37:24 Anyway, in Candanavia they have their own desire for cheap labor. As witnessed here the Premier Justin talking us through it... And quite frankly the most common complaint I get from Canadians from Canadian businesses from people in general is you're not bringing enough immigrants and that's a rare thing in this world They want some of that cheap labor too! Businesses. This is a rare thing. Businesses asking him, gee wonder why they want it Justin? Yeah exactly what else would they want is he can't be the dumbest guy ever He can't be that dumb you just can't be yes I think he's an idiot huh hmm I mean they'd like to point the finger at Trump as being stupid but no no

2:38:16 Trump's actually run businesses. He's got other things going on he may be dim-witted about certain things, but this guy is just dumb Yeah, sorry can it Canadians? That's why they're not donating anymore There wasn't one donor in that list today. That was from Canada what did they hate us now because we're Why aren't they donating Hmm. I don't know, i'd have to go back over this. No we need more immigrants listening from Canada We need more immigrants listening to this podcast. I think we got one now there may have been one From Alberta More immigrants please Wellington New Jersey look at now there's not a Canadian in the group Okay That was bad Oh good news The German rail

Anne Frank Train Controversy, Michael Wolff Interview

Deutsche Bahn decided against naming a train after Anne Frank following public outcry. In other news, "Fire and Fury" author Michael Wolff walked out of an interview after being questioned by the Dutch and Australian press about his claims regarding a presidential affair.

anne frank· deutsche bahn· michael wolff· fire and fury· dutch press· affair

2:39:01 Deutsche Bahn DB has decided they will not be naming one of their trains after Anne Frank, after all. They do see that it's maybe not a good idea. Remember I told you the story that they were thinking about it? Yeah, I remember vaguely... Well now this yeah you know we got some feedback We understand is little controversial to name a German train after Anne Frank And please don't email... I would say that's just upsetting. It is mixed messages! It really is and you don't have to email me about Anne Frank, I know all about it because you know what are going to get? You're gonna get the whole Anne Frank diary was written by her dad they didn't have ballpoint pens yeah Yeah ballpoint pen before there were ballpoint pens. I will tell you there's a lot of fight over the rights to Anne Frank name There's two groups and they fight through the courts all the time who gets call themselves the official Anne Frank this or that

2:40:01 It's a mess. is he got excoriated and then again I believe in maybe, I don't think it was there but an Australian morning show. Yeah I got the Australia clip right here. So this came after what happened in the Netherlands where for some reason that the journalists ever since they caught the ambassador lying about

2:40:37 He had said somewhere, well in Holland they have no go zones and they light politicians on fire. Which of course as far I know never happened in Holland and they called him on it he's like well you know so he looked like a douche and now the Dutch press whenever they have someone...an international controversial figure they ask in that you know in their typical rude way and it's not that the Dutch are rude is just how they sound hey what about you say Mr. Ambassador? You set the politicians on fire there you see the flame man! That's how they're asking questions these days. And so they did this to Michael Wolff about the insinuation that he was having sex with... What is it supposed to be? With, oh! With the... Pope Hicks No no no The woman, the senator, the... Einstein It doesn't matter I'll come up with it He's getting all pissed off I can't hear him and then walks off the set

2:41:34 You said during a TV interview last month that you are absolutely sure that Donald Trump is currently having an affair while president behind the back of the first lady and I'll repeat, you said you were absolutely sure. Yeah, I can't... Last week however you back-flipped and said, I quote, ''I do not know if the President is having an affair.'' Do you owe the President and the First Lady an apology Mr Wolf? I can't hear you I thought it was a very genius move on his part.

2:42:22 Well, I like the way he actually starts to answer the question. You're not hearing me? No! And I can't you know... He does this it sounds like he was hearing him and then he's totally full of shit yeah and then he walks Yeah i thought it was a good way to do it Hey they should have yeah well he canceled his whole tour now because they're going oh boo-boo I wonder how sales are is he still uh top of the list The guy's gonna walk away with millions of dollars from this book right okay yeah he's done He's a dumb dude. I'm figuring out that now, what is he not doing any ad? It's not adding to the sales figures. Most of these tours are bogus anyway once you get your initial publicity in and out of the way like Dick's Sporting Goods. Ha ha! Yes. If I've never seen so much it looks like native advertising and its on every network Yeah well its what everyone does You jump on the bandwagon for commercial reasons And they are exploiting children as well

Santa Cruz Homeless Encampment Relocation

The city of Santa Cruz is closing a homeless encampment at San Lorenzo Park and moving residents to a fenced lot on River Street. The new temporary site is estimated to cost $90,000 per month to operate, sparking a debate on the high cost of managing homelessness in California.
