Rise of the Betas

00:00 What was the point of going to see the little people and shoot hot dogs at them? Adam Curry, John C. DeVore It's Thursday, March 8th, 2018! This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination episode 1014! This is no agenda. Reminding you it's not just a song, it's a medley! And broadcasting live from downtown Austin, Tejas, Count with the Drones, Star State, In the Cluedio, in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we've turned Alexa into Hillary Clinton. We're coming after you Siri. I'm John C. Dvorak Yeah, that was the biggest non story of the week and you open with it yeah, oh Geez guys. I got a lot of emails saying it was actually my pin This is

00:55 Yes, yeah, this is the story that apparently the echo device started laughing for no reason. You know this thing does a lot of stuff for no reason. I have a clip by the way of it laughing. I want to play it. Yes, hold on a second. Laughing Alexa. Yeah. Really? That doesn't sound like... hmm. Interesting. It sounds just like the pen. It does sound like the pen. I saw videos of different laughs. Well, everyone sent me notes and even my wife said it sounds like the pen. Yeah, they've changed that now. But I'll tell you the echo trips all the time. All of a sudden you'll just hear, I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that or okay, I'll do it later. I mean, just weird stuff for no reason.

01:50 Which reminds me, you reminded me of something that's funny. I had hooked up my old Galaxy phone to some car I was driving around through the Bluetooth. And I just had to play music. So it goes in, it starts to play music, it plays the various songs that I have that are on the thing, which is maybe only a dozen or so. But then in between each song it plays, Turn right. Yeah, it becomes a left at next intersection. It becomes a whole a whole house vibe 300 yards. Yeah, and I didn't realize that the a lot of the directions for the turn thing is actually little snippets that are on your phone. Oh, you didn't know that?

02:37 No, I thought it was coming over something else. Oh yeah, okay, so it's just playing the playlist and it's just finding this and throwing it in there for some reason. Yeah, exactly. Way to go Google! It's a music file. Yeah, yeah. Before we really get started, I need to ask you something. A very, very Disconcerting article came out in Wired Magazine. Yes, and I'm going to read some notes about it. I'm going to read to you if you move to the San Francisco Bay Area, prepare to pay some of the most exorbitant home prices on the planet. Also, prepare for the fact that someday your new home could be underwater and not just financially.

03:18 Sea level rise threatens to wipe out swaths of the bay's densely populated coastlines. Because of what's happening in Greenland right now, the maps of the world will have to be redrawn. This is what would happen to San Francisco Bay. There it is baby! Sea level rise in the SF Bay area just got a lot more dire and we asked John C. Dvorak, our reporter, our journo on the scene, to tell us how the mudflats are doing. Well, I'm looking at him right now and I use the word well, the ELP and I see the mud flats and also looking out on golden gate feels the horse track which is at sea level more or less by about three feet above sea level and the parking lot it would be at probably three or four feet above sea level I've never seen any.

04:07 even splashing but the mudflats are still there as they have been apparently since about 1880 when the maps first indicated there were mudflaps there mudflaps, mudflats, mudflaps. With Yosemite Sam on them. Yeah. Now uh The other thing is in that, so that's bull crap. Are they just trying to keep people from moving into the Bay Area? Yes, and by the way, there is some erosion, which is different. It's a different phenomenon. Sandy Hill gets wiped out in the south of San Francisco every so often, because there's nothing there. It's a big wave comes up, washes and hits the basically sand. Well, this comes from a scientific study.

04:52 What scientific study? I'm looking at it, I can see there's nothing going on. This is published in Science Magazine, which is an official publication, a research article titled, Global Climate Change and Local Land Subsidence Exacerbate Inundation Risk to the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm looking at it. There's the mudflats are still there. Why are the mudflats there if this is going on? I love this. And by the way, the freeway, the entire freeway 80 goes along the bay and it can't be more than five feet above sea level and it's been there forever. Well, so whoever did this study, they create the inundation hazard maps and so they've taken a look at these and after their study,

05:47 They say, this is from the abstract, the maps estimating 100 year inundation hazards solely based on the projection of sea level rise from various emission scenarios underestimate the area at risk of flooding by 3.7 to 90.9 percent. 90.9? But the range is from 3.7 to 90.9. Okay, so basically... I can do a study for the range of 0 to 100. Yeah, well there you go. This is what would happen to San Francisco Bay. And meanwhile, still almost zero reporting on Venice. Who cares? Who cares really? Who cares? Yeah.

06:37 Well, let me see. We had the Oscars. I just want to start with that. Yes, we should. I was going to say let's start with the Oscars. By informing you, I have zero clips from the Oscars. I have zero clips too. That means all we have to do is talk about it. Yeah, because I might as well just rebroadcast the whole show if you wanted to do a clip. So I believe, here's what my thinking on it, you can tell me, I might give you my review. All right. I didn't think it was as bad as it could have been. Right. I think a lot of people turn to it had the lowest ratings in history Yes, and I don't think it's through any fault of them because I thought Kimmel did a fine job trying to liven it up. He wasn't crazy anti-Trump. Let me hold on. I disagree the opening sequence which was okay, but I miss me a good Billy Crystal sing and dance number. I'm sorry Kimmel very functional, but he's not

07:35 He was kind of out of place in the crystal arrangement that was the stage. You know, it was kind of a... Well, let's start with the best MC they believe ever was Johnny Carson, who did it for almost 10 years and others. And they never did a song and dance. I don't believe a song and dance. Just not the Tony's. Hold on, hold on. Hold on. I'm just saying I personally miss that, but the opening sequence, like the third sentence was a joke about Trump. Which I don't care, I thought most of his jokes were funny, but you're telling me that that's not a tune-out factor? I think that's a tune-out factor. I also think that there was expectation of the whole thing being about Me Too.

08:19 and being preachy. Yeah, it was. The anticipation of that, well I think people can't put up with this anymore, they're sick of it. They don't need the lecturing. Right. But back to what I think by being objective about it, I thought he did a very good job of trying to keep it kind of light and I thought the stage was fantastic. I liked the giant LCD screen and the bunch of whatever diamonds or whatever it was. Swarovski crystals. Yeah, those. Whatever. Harry Winston did the set. It was a... I thought the set was beautiful, personally. And I thought that the show moved along, you know, at a pretty decent pace. I didn't think it was getting too tight up here or there. I thought some of the... There's some snubs and the snubs seemed to go to... at the women.

09:14 And so I was a little surprised by that, by who won everything. And it was okay. I watched the whole thing. It kept me entertained. I sped watch. I will admit I sped watch it. Okay, now we watched it all in real time. And just after the first 15 minutes I said, it's going to be low ratings. There's no other way. Besides the fact that people don't go to the movies that much anymore. And many of these films are not available yet on demand. I think that doesn't help, but what you really notice is that there are also none of them are blockbusters. Well, yeah, and well, it's never really been the case for the Oscars, but what you're seeing Yeah, it used to be in the 30s What you're seeing is I don't remember a group of you a group of elites who really don't care About anything but themselves at that moment that no one seems to care about the broadcast I look at this from a broadcast perspective and go yeah, I

10:12 Okay, but I just don't understand if you even have the risk of deteriorating your ratings Why don't you wait a little bit before you bring in the jokes? I think that makes a big difference I think you're probably right in fact. It's a known fact amongst public speakers that if you want to start your public speech with a joke, you're taking the biggest chance you can take. You should never... because if you start with a joke, I've done this. Have you done it unsuccessfully? Yeah. Yeah. It takes... if you do it unsuccessfully, it takes a long time to get them back. It takes 45 minutes to get the audience back. And then at 47 minutes... Then the speech is over. Yeah, hope you liked it. I'm gone.

11:00 So you don't do that unless you know, you know the audience very well and they expect it. Yeah, but no I agree. It was a dumb idea and I think and I think people are sick of the just as Trump bashing on everything Yeah, you know you wanted we listen to the news you get enough Trump bashing on the news Yeah, you don't need our entertainment to be all Trump bashing to know and you know for me personally It's like oh, let's go across the street to the movie theater and talk to the little people for a little bit Meanwhile, bitching that, we're going too long, we're going too long. What was the point of going to see the little people and shoot hot dogs at them? I didn't understand. It's just, it's rude. To me, it's just like, hey, you stupid fucks, here, buy our tickets to the movies and eat a hot dog. Going back to your earlier point about people don't go to the movies anymore. So we're sitting around the Millennial dinner last week and Jay, my daughter, says, she says, I don't like movies.

11:59 She's out of the blue. Wow. And she doesn't go to, so they don't go to many movies. Hmm. Does she watch them on, uh, on demand? Does she like watching stuff at home or just doesn't like the movies, the experience? She doesn't like movies is all I know. I didn't go into details. All I was just like taken aback by it. But right. If the, if that, which is the younger generation of millennials, if that group, which is now coming into its own, and so far as having expendable income, uh, If they get turned on just by the movies in general, this is not a good thing for the movie industry. I'm getting a little sick of all these movies. They're all the same. They got pretty much the same formula. They're all from Marvel. It's like Marvel just took over the business and I think they're ruining it for everybody. Yeah, they make a lot of money, but everybody else suffers. And the big surprise was

12:55 The shape of water winning which you know you say is a plagiarized story had no chance. That's what I said Yeah, and I I'm thinking this is more a part of project disclosure blue beam get people used to aliens You know from when they pulled the big hoax. No you don't know well. You could say that about any flying saucer. No no yes Yes project blue beam You should bing it I do have a couple of clips surrounding the Oscars that have to do with it or related to it. The only thing that I thought was interesting was Frances McDermott's acceptance speech where in the end she says, inclusion riders. And that will be the death of the movie industry.

13:49 If the big stars start putting inclusion clauses in their riders, no, they're just you know, big stars are made What do you mean? They don't come out of the blue because of their sheer talent They're picked up by people like Harvey Weinstein now gone and people like that and promoted into superstardom It you could do it with other people that aren't gonna be so susceptible to this nonsense You can just cut these guys out cut them out Wait, you mean the people who want inclusion, writers? Yeah. I don't see it happening either. So you don't think the big stars will do that to Virtue Signal? I think they'll try it. I can see a Clooney doing that. They'll try it in a movie that's already got all kinds of, you know, inclusion in it, just by basis of the script. Right. In general, it was watchable, but I can see the writing on the wall. This is over.

14:46 It's gonna be too expensive. They won't want to do it anymore. Television in general is... It used to be that a live television event was, you know, maybe 10 years ago was still extremely valid and it's waning. It's not gonna be worth it. Yeah, they have issues. They've screwed themselves up now. Dolly Parton was on Nightline. She has an opinion about mixing politics and show business. I'm not being political. I don't do politics I'm not getting into any of that because I have a lot of fans out there and I don't want to offend anybody and besides I just don't get into that and so if you are deciding you may want to ask me something more serious don't because I'm not going to answer it. Fair warning. I'm not going to. I might still ask. Well you can ask but I might still tell you where to put it.

15:33 You have a president of the United States who said those things on that bus. I'm not addressing that. I do not get into that. Of course I have my opinion about everybody and everything, but I learned a long time ago keep your damn mouth shut if you want to stay in show business. I'm not in politics. I'm an entertainer. And yet you're also a role model. Yes, I am. That's why I don't talk about people. Very good, Dolly. I gotta go visit Dollywood now. Yeah, I want to go to Dollywood. I hear it's actually pretty good. I've always thought about it, but every time I've been the area which hasn't been recently I Just forget about yeah But I hear it's really interesting at the top of my mind now the foreign film best foreign film was Icarus This is the the film about the Russian athletes doping scandal Which we actually we in future if there's going to be another awards telecast

16:30 We should definitely have a have a look at the foreign film category because I think that's where some real virtue signaling comes out from the Academy members and have you I mean, I don't think it's available yet. But have you seen any of this movie this Icarus? No, I have the trailer. It's No wonder it won. I was thinking that would start I ask you questions and you answer yes or no Were you the mastermind that cheated the Olympics? Yes Today the World Anti-Doping Agency suspended Russia's sports drug testing lab. 99% of Russian athletes are guilty of doping. It's worse than we thought. If this is true, it is an unimaginable level of criminality. Criminality! What happened to just cheating? Now it's all criminality. I think to facilitate one of the most elaborate doping ploys in sport history.

17:33 This goes all the way back to 1968. Every sport. The Russians have been doping since almost before I was born. Nor so have we. You're right, I never noticed that point, but you're right. How does it go from cheating, which is what it is, to criminality? Like they robbed a bank. Well, it is the International Olympic Committee. They are close to God. You don't mess with them. They can really screw you up. There is a... well this is interesting. There's a... let me see... this is Ann Thompson. Here we go. Used to be editor at Variety. She was on a podcast and these days media deconstruction also needs to be on podcasts.

18:21 This is the showbiz sandbox i think she now works at another publication but she's authority on oscars basically what's what i was wondering if you think about the oscars you know how people say that the indies have taken over the oscars. I was really aware that the politics of Hollywood were very front and center. And of course, the politics of Hollywood are very liberal and very, and it's all overdue and it's got to happen. But I wondered how that played in the mainstream of America. But yeah, I would agree with you. Although let's face it, movies are supposed to be inclusive of everyone and they're not, but they're also supposed to be inclusive of Republicans and, you know, conservatives and Trump supporters. It's not, we're not supposed to be leaving them out of the Oscar ceremony. If you see what I mean.

19:10 Well, we're not supposed to have Oscar ceremony celebrating racists and KKKers, but so conservatives, yes, but not maybe not the ball's equivalency. Let's do it. And another thing I noticed, which I thought was just beautiful at a certain point, you had the the guy who does that spoken word kind of rap deal, the bald black guy. Yeah, he goes, you know, you know President Trump, but he's got his whole rhythm going which is exactly the same rhythm He uses for the Microsoft commercial which they aired one break later. Oh, I saw that. It was unbelievable Wow, it's shameless Have the guy do the same cadence the same tone about

19:51 the evil America and then roll out the Microsoft commercial right after that movies are supposed to be appealing and popular for everyone and While how I want Hollywood to do all of these things, but they were putting this agenda this political agenda way out front at an Oscar ceremony. I'm not saying they did the wrong thing, I'm just questioning what its impact is going to be on mainstream America. Do you follow my drift? Absolutely. I think that's why they had the military montage. They celebrated war films to show we thank our troops. No, that's not why they did it. The military montage was a thank you for all the money they spend in Hollywood.

20:36 You can't use this guy. He's the showbiz sandbox host my god Yeah, and it may also be the reason why it's the lowest rated Oscars of all time 28 to 29 million viewers is the current prediction of how many six was a real a prediction Yeah, it was less. I don't think you'll hear that lady mentioned this on the m5m That's why she probably don't you've never seen her on the m5m if that's her message. That's why you hear it on the podcast hmm well Definitely, these guys don't seem to realize that half the country voted for Trump. Minus the three million. And again, I don't understand how from a business... I mean MTV even had the business acumen to stop playing music videos to eventually build a 10 billion dollar brand, pissing off their base. But it took them a long time and now they're in trouble again.

21:34 So, you know, you got to think about what you're doing. I'm just looking at it purely from television production and ratings standpoint and entertainment value meanwhile in Australia they had the See they had a film festival and the documentary that won best of festival is Something you have to see it's already on YouTube. It's called sacrificial virgins and I have a clip Ruby is 16 She's almost totally paralyzed. Nobody knows exactly why Ruby has developed this serious neurological damage after a healthy and active life. But it all started after she had her first of three injections of the HPV, Human Papillomavirus, vaccine. Injections that are given in the hope that they'll prevent cervical cancer.

22:29 But is there proof that the HPV vaccine does prevent cervical cancer? And is there any proof that HPV actually causes it? These girls have died. They're among hundreds of documented deaths following the HPV vaccine. Thousands around the world have suffered severe adverse reactions to the injection. Throughout history, virgins have been sacrificed in the interests of the greater good. The Greeks sacrificed young girls to appease their gods. The Incas of Peru drugged and buried young girls in the farthest corners of their empire in the belief that this would protect their territories from invaders.

23:13 These young girls are our modern sacrificial virgins, sacrificed in the interests of the greater good. You should probably go watch that documentary on YouTube quickly before it's gone. Good point, I'll download it. Yeah, it's really quite good and it's everything we've discussed since, gee, 2000... 6 and who was the corrupt politician that was part one of the Promoters of this thing how about who wasn't who was yeah, I guess what am I asking? Who was that let me see if I have any of that mmm clip yeah, I got a number of Gardasil clips, but I don't know I would have to maybe sure was a clip. It might have been a point of discussion

24:10 Yeah, I can't find anything, but it's well worth watching. Sounds like a winner. Holy moly. Yeah, yeah, Ozzy's got it right, man. They know what's up. You said holy moly. Yes. This is a Frank Zappa term. No, great googly moogly. Well, let's see what we got going on here. I have a couple of offbeat clips. Well, let's talk about, let's start, I think the most important clip. Let's not do offbeat. Let's get down to business. Yeah. How about the Hope Hicks email? Listen to this clip. Yeah.

24:48 I laughed when I heard this. From President Trump's former communications director and longtime confidant tonight, a stunning admission. A source inside the room for Hope Hicks' testimony last week to House Intelligence Committee members investigating Russian election meddling tells ABC News Hicks said one of her email accounts was hacked. The hack taking place during the 2016 campaign, it is unclear whether it was a personal or campaign email account. The disclosure raising a host of questions about who was behind the hack and what exactly they obtained. Hicks resigned a day after that testimony. Any collusion? It was a little unclear like it was some... Wait, wait. Did you hear the end of this clip? It was a little... No, I didn't hear it perfectly. I'm sorry. Let me get to the end again. Yeah, here we go. Communications obtained. Hicks resigned a day after that testimony. Any collusion?

25:42 Is that are they just editing that in now? I have no idea it sounds like I put it in no wait What was the clip we played on the last show where that any collusion was in there it was this another? Well, let me find it. It was another whole pics click clip. Yeah, it was the whole pick it. Hope X clicks Okay, hold on. Let's find that because I want it sounded identical it is Yeah, it was ABC1234, I don't know which one that was in. Damn it. Well, it says kicker or something that might be used. Anyway, yes, it was the... yeah, I think they're taking out of the... just what was the point of any collusion in this story?

26:32 To mind control about the email it wasn't about cold I mean the other story was about kind of you know Maybe you could say that and get away with it, but this one was just ridiculous any collusion what? my email Or maybe was two shows ago no I think was well maybe but here's it let's go do a little more on this because there's a I was listening to ABC this is Muir talking about Hicks and Trump hacks and I I they can't not, they obviously have a target list or something you gotta do to make sure that people don't get the wrong idea. In other words, in this case, heaven forbid you think it may have, because the guy who leaked it, they said it was a source in the committee. That's Schiff. And so you have to assume that maybe the leaks, I'm sorry, not the leaks, but the hacks, was the NSA. That's the first thing I think of.

27:31 It wasn't even really clear if it was her main email or not. No, they did mention that, that it was unclear what email they're talking about. But let's listen to this where they try to make sure that you don't think NSA. Celia, that news tonight that Hope Hicks had one of her email accounts hacked during the campaign, this is not the first indication that we've heard that the Trump team may have been targeted by hackers. Yeah, David, last year the FBI warned the Trump organization, the family business, that there had been an attempted hack from overseas. It's not just the family business. The FBI has also warned top aides here in the West Wing, including Hope Hicks, about being targeted by foreign hackers. But tonight on this latest admission from Hicks' attorney, David, no comment. Just so you know, it's the Russians.

28:16 That was the implication. It's overseas. It's the Russians. Well, since we're talking about Javanka's spy, Hope Hicks, your no agenda show once again from the future, Chris Matthews and guests finally figure it out. The warring tribes in the White House. I under, you're much better at this than anybody else. There's the tribes. By the way, this is a very I wouldn't even say anti, but a very Semitic nature of what he's saying about tribes. He's going to lump a whole bunch of Jews together and call them a tribe, which I found

28:57 Borderline the warring tribes in the White House. I under it's you're much better at this than anybody else There's the tribes if Anka Jared Gary Cohn that was apparently one of the tribal groups one of the gangs if you will And now that gangs under assault again coins cones gone Jared is on the I don't know what he's on the opposite of the undec circle. He's not gonna go to bed Well, what's going on there in terms of warfare inside the White House? Oh That's a great point. First of all, you'll recall Steve Bannon called that group you just talked about the West Wing Democrats. That's how closely aligned they were in terms of policy and alliances here. You're right. Jared Kushner has effectively lost his top security clearance. Remember, he was the guy spearheading Middle East peace. What does that mean for his ability to carry out

29:43 That task I think ultimately what it means Chris is that right now John Kelly has been emboldened and what's so interesting about that is that just several days ago we were talking about the fact that maybe he would be on the chopping block in the wake of the Rob Porter incident and so you are seeing... Yes, that was the fake, the failed coup. Power alliance. Hold on a second. Let's back it up to the point where she says we were talking about, yeah, you were talking about it. That doesn't mean it was actually going on. I never felt for a minute that John Kelly was gonna quit, resign, or get kicked out. No, that was the coup. That was the attempt. There was collusion. Yeah, but it was a storyline made up to keep the pot boiling by the media to make sure that we were aware of this chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos. Can we say it again? I disagree. I think it was a story made up

30:33 were launched by Hope Hicks who wrote the release about Rob Porter. You know, she wrote it so somehow that launched internally. I'm not gonna say that that's not a possibility because but that just said again she's just a complicit with the other bullshit artists. Yeah and they and they took it and they ran. She's PR. She gave them the story, they took it, they ran with it. Ultimately what it means Chris is that right now John Kelly has been emboldened and what's so interesting about that is that just several days ago we were talking about the fact that maybe he would be on the chopping block in the wake of the Rob Porter incident and so you are seeing these power alliances constantly shift. I want to make one point to what Steph was saying which is not only was President Trump's announcement on trade and tariffs not mapped out from a legal perspective but look at the messaging. It's really been all over the place. He made the announcement and

31:29 He said trade wars are a good thing, then he said there's not going to be a trade war, and then today he seemed to flip again and say, look, trade wars aren't so bad. And so he's sort of been all over the map and even his top officials- Hold on a second. We got to break these things down as they come out. She's equating the following- Situations. Statements as contradictory. trade wars are a good thing, we're not gonna have a trade war, trade wars are a good thing as a flip-flop. There's no flip-flop involved here. You're right. It's two different statements. It's not a positive and a negative. It's not like saying trade wars are a good thing. No, trade wars are a bad thing. Trade wars are a good thing, they're a bad thing. He says that trade wars are a good thing, we're not gonna have a trade war. We're not gonna have a trade war is not the opposite of... It's a good thing.

32:24 But she makes the claim that it is. Well, she's a professional journo. She gets to do that. She has license. It's constantly shift. I want to make one point to what Steph was saying, which is not only was President Trump's announcement on trade and tariffs not mapped out from a legal perspective, but look at the messaging. It's really been all over the place. He made the announcement. He said trade wars are a good thing. Then he said there's not going to be a trade war. And then today he seemed to Flip again and say look trade wars aren't so bad and so he's sort of been all over the map and even his top officials here Don't know how to protect him on this issue because they don't know where he really stands right now Chris So this leads in consistent stance. Are you kidding me? It's great No, she's not kidding you. She's very serious. That's the sad part and I got a note from the former New York banker. He said ah, I

33:19 Gary Cohn finally, finally he found an excuse to get out. He's been wanting to get out for six months. And he used the, you know, he's been under a lot of pressure, certainly from the New York Jews, who just can't, that all happened after Charlottesville. Really, really despised the fact that he stayed on. And so now he said, oh, now I finally have something, everyone will agree with me that, you know, that I should be able to leave now because this really now, this just does it all. And I have a clip. Yeah, well I have a clip. Here it is. This is Tubin, Jeffrey Tubin talking about Gary Cohn. Oh yeah, yeah. Is Tubin a Jew? I don't know, probably. But the thing about Tubin, we have to remember, we have the clip of... The guy is just such a knee-jerk

34:15 Democrat and he's an apologist for the Democrat. I mean he's just a propagandist. Well he is not having any of Cohn's excuse. It's interesting you know Jeffrey that the president doubling down on the steel and aluminum tariffs and doubling down on well you know what a trade word it could be very good. Well, you know, I think it's also this is an interesting lesson in, you know, the ethics and principles of Gary Cohn. Gary Cohn made a big show of being disgusted with the president's behavior after Charlottesville, you know, his sympathy for neo-Nazis, you know, and he says, oh, I might resign over over the president's racism. Well, he managed to stomach the racism. What he couldn't take was tariffs.

34:58 And I think if you want to weigh the moral imperatives of the two, it really doesn't reflect all that well on Gary Conn. Jeffrey figured it out. Jeffrey, this to me, I've been looking at his wiki page to see if he's Jewish, because what I think we've heard is him reflecting that community of Jewish haters Cohen for being in the working for Trump at all. Yes, there's definitely there's a Jew thing going in this whole convo. Yeah, it's bullshit. Yeah, and so what I would say is Jewish by the bit basis that his mom's name I think I guess Amy Bennett You can't tell me there's not a website called Jew or not Jew. Well, I think it'd be pretty offensive I'll bet you I'll bet you there's one out there

35:54 I can't see here where he is, if he's married, best man. Well, Brolf, certainly. Oh, hey, this is interesting. Tubin had an extramarital affair with attorney Casey Greenfield. Oh. She's the daughter of American television journalist Jeff Greenfield and the ex-wife, screenwriter Matt Manfred. Tubin is the father of Casey's child. This guy gets around. That's funny. I got nothing here. No, I can't find it. It's not that important. I think so though because his parents names are Jewish and... It's not that important but it is noteworthy in this case. Long time friend of Kagan. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Uh, Tubin...

36:40 Yeah, I don't know. But if it was the case it would make sense because this is what you do. Even when the guy quits, if your banker friend is correct and the Jewish community is all over Cohen for being anything to do with Trump, especially after that KKK thing, it would continue right off to the... it's just like what happened to Kevin Spacey with the gays. Yeah, exactly. They still hate him. I have a clip from Robert Reich on the trade tariffs. Just to get some more color in here. Trade is essentially good. Now the rules of the game with trade, there is some contention as to exactly whether a trade treaty ought to have this much of labor protection or this much environmental protection within it. We can dispute the details but the overall reality that trade is basically a positive sum game is

37:34 is that ignorant about fundamentals that is basically science. I mean, we're talking about reality, history and reality. Then what are we to do? I mean, if nobody's going to stand up to him, if even people in his own party, Republicans who have responsibility to the public are not willing to say this is wrong, stop it.

36:40 Yeah, I don't know. But if it was the case it would make sense because this is what you do. Even when the guy quits, if your banker friend is correct and the Jewish community is all over Cohen for being anything to do with Trump, especially after that KKK thing, it would continue right off to the... it's just like what happened to Kevin Spacey with the gays. Yeah, exactly. They still hate him. I have a clip from Robert Reich on the trade tariffs. Just to get some more color in here. Trade is essentially good. Now the rules of the game with trade, there is some contention as to exactly whether a trade treaty ought to have this much of labor protection or this much environmental protection within it. We can dispute the details but the overall reality that trade is basically a positive sum game is

37:34 is that ignorant about fundamentals that is basically science. I mean, we're talking about reality, history and reality. Then what are we to do? I mean, if nobody's going to stand up to him, if even people in his own party, Republicans who have responsibility to the public are not willing to say this is wrong, stop it.

38:13 change the rules, we are going to take authority back from you. If that's not going to be the reaction among Republicans, it's as if we had a mad king and all of his courtiers and all the ministers around him refused to stand up to him because he was a mad king. I mean, that just makes things worse. Trade is now science just so you know trade trade is science outrageous left-wing But I wanted you also he's a he's a smart guy and just how he goes off all of a sudden He's a smart guy. He's educated

38:55 And then the chaos theory just went completely bonkers the past few days, which we identified very early on. I'm still waiting for someone to actually cut in a Get Smart clip. You know it's coming. Here's Chris Matthews organizations that goes back to the Trump with his guests where he Admitted that he pitted his own wife Ivana Trump against one of his casino executives in a battle for control Certainly we saw it on the campaign. It was the whole premise of the apprentice and now we see it in the White House He likes there to be warring factions I guess giving him the benefit of the doubt you might have good ideas emerge from that battle but but more often than not, what you get is chaos.

39:49 It's just chaos! That ever happens? MSNBC is all over the chaos. Larry O'Donnell. The President of the United States, he's clothed in immense power. He has millions of people working for him. He's got the nuclear arsenal at his disposal. Chaos theory doesn't work in the United States. And it's ridiculous to see that, to think that he's going to get positive outcomes of this. He had no experience running a large bureaucracy before he became, came to the federal government. It's just chaos everywhere.

40:37 Well, the staff turnover thing is funny because people, you know, it's like the glass half empty, glass half full when I heard this particular clip, which is titled Staff Turnovers. Hold on a second. Why are so many people leaving this administration? Look, this administration has had a historic first year. We're gonna continue to do great things. This is an intense place as every White House and it's not abnormal that you would have people come and go. In fact, the number of departures is not just abnormal, it is record setting. According to one study, staff turnover in the Trump White House is higher than the past five administrations. Now, when I heard that, I don't know what everyone... Oh my God! Oh, it's crazy!

41:29 What it tells me though is that the past five administrations, which is Bush, Reagan, Obama, Clinton... A bunch of inbred people all the same. No, what it tells me, if you listen to that carefully, is that Carter had more turnover than Trump because otherwise they would have said the last six administrations. And did you look it up? No, there's no, this is not a statistic you can look up. They don't have like turnover ratio. It's not a basketball team. There's no way of knowing, but you would have, if you would have known at all what it was one way or the other, you would have said the last six administrations, the last seven or the last in history. But no, they said the last five. That means Jimmy Carter had a bigger turnover.

42:21 And perhaps Nixon had a big... we don't know after that. I believe that if Carter's was more turnover than Trump... and Nixon's was less turnover than Trump, they would have said the last six out of seven. Yeah, you're right. Or something like that. I think that you might go back to Eisenhower. I have no idea. They're just going over the last five. They would have said six if they could have. So this is bullcrap. You can play part two of this and see what it's like. Is there a part two? Oh yes, there is.

42:57 Well, I'm happy about that. Five administrations. If this is not the definition of chaotic, how would you describe what's happening in these recent weeks? If it was, then I don't think we would be able to accomplish everything that we've done. One of the reasons for some of those departures, aides who still have not passed a background check to access classified information. The president campaigning on protecting the nation's top secrets. We can't have someone in the Oval Office who doesn't understand the meaning of the word confidential or classified. But more than a year in, it remains a major problem for his administration. Yes. Yeah, I get the chaos. The word of the week is chaos. Yeah. I think we've established that. Yeah, we knew it. We knew it was coming a couple weeks ago.

43:47 But they've got to get on to something else because it's growing very old now. And it's not enough. What comes after chaos? What is worse than chaos? I don't have my list of Trump... Oh, here's my list of Trump stuff. No, but I think we may have a new one. I don't know you can get worse than chaos. Chaos is the end. No, let's see. What is I'm just gonna try what could be worse than chaos? Well look up that thesaurus.com it usually has the best. Oh, that's a good idea. So I do chaos. Thesaurus. All right. Let's see if we get any. Let's see what could be worse. Looking at the listies. We haven't visited narcissists recently. Mm-hmm.

44:33 Thin-skinned bully is still my favorite. Decimation, decimation, pandemonium, pandemonium, mayhem. Too many, too many syllables for the... Mayhem, mayhem? Mayhem really refers to people biting each other's ears and noses off. Okay, anarchy, we might get that. Mass... no, no, no. No, they're not gonna use anarchy because he's a fascist. That wouldn't fit the messaging now, would it? No. That's about all I've got. Maelstrom? No, that's too tough. I think we have to go back to unstable, insane. But that's more about him. This is about the situation. And that's why it's a little new. I'm looking at this. Okay, disorder, confusion, anarchy, entropy, bedlam. That's a good one. Tumult? Bedlam. I like bedlam. I don't think half the public knows what bedlam means. That's why they would use it.

45:32 No, I don't think you can get past chaos. I think they shot their wad with chaos. I think pandemonium is one worse than chaos. Too many syllables. What, they can't do three syllables? I don't think that those newsreaders can say it that easily. Ruckus? Pandemonium. Hullabaloo! Pandemonium. That's five syllables. Tumult. Tumult. No way. Cue and cry. Tumult. I like hullabaloo. Hullabaloo, but everyone is reminded of the rock and roll song. Hullabaloo used to be a TV show. Oh, yeah, like I remember that. They got nothing. They screwed the pooch with chaos. Well, let me do a couple of Trump hate clips. Okay. Good news. Yes, good news first of all. It was a hoax. AM Joy is not cancelled.

46:29 from MSNBC. That's a bit, that's just disappointing to the public in general. No, I'm very happy because now I can still get clips from Joy Reid and her guests. And she had the illustrious Maxine Waters on. Oh God. Which is actually a two-parter, it was so good. And I have a little entremont in between these two parters. Here she is. But between the self-deprecating jokes and the light-hearted... Ah yeah, she's talking about Trump's gridiron speech which is... what is it? It's the gridiron, is that what it's called? Well there is a gridiron speech I think but I... why didn't we get clips from it? Ah, because the gridiron is for Bolton to be telecast.

47:18 Okay. Yeah, so that's part of the deal. So they're telling us as if either one of them was there. Yes. Well, she'll actually mention that. But between the self-deprecating jokes and the lighthearted roasts of Trump's favorite targets in politics and the media was this below the belt jab at Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Quote, Maxine Waters, he must be impeached. That's all she knows how to say. He must be impeached, impeached. But he's done nothing wrong, doesn't matter, they say, what he's done wrong. What has he done wrong? I don't know. You've got to be impeached. And then I say, I get in trouble for this, she has to immediately take an IQ test.

47:58 Let's see what the Congresswoman thinks about that. Joining me now is Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Now, Congresswoman, we're relying on what people who are at the Gridiron dinner said, that Donald Trump said, the transcript from inside that room. Your response to what apparently he said about you? Well, you know, this president has been called stupid. He has been called ignorant and even his Secretary of State did not deny that he called him a moron. And so he has no credibility. He has been name-calling, he's been saying all kinds of things and I certainly expected him to come out with some racist remarks about me. So he did exactly what I expect him to do and by the way I'm told he wasn't funny at all.

48:46 In addition to that, he apparently also, and you represent the great state of California, a district in the great state of California, and he reportedly also said that Nancy Pelosi has been trying to come up with a line as good as lock her up. and that her line, says Donald Trump, that she announced last week is, mow the grass. Mow the freaking grass. That isn't going to stop MS-13. Mow that freaking grass. That sounds like an aspersion or a slap at

49:21 immigrants, Mexican-Americans. At least that's how I'm reading it. Okay, let's just stop here for a moment. Wow. So she is so racist, Joy Reid, that all she can think of when she hears this poorly researched quote is that he is making a slam towards Mexican-Americans or Mexican, just illegal whatever Mexicans because in her mind it's only Mexicans who do yard work which is incredibly racist And this is what Nancy Pelosi actually said. Let's sit down and talk this through and see what makes sense. Not some commitment to a promise that we're going to build a wall and Mexico's going to pay for it. That's never going to happen. But let's talk about where a more serious structure might be necessary, where fencing will do or mowing the grass so that people can't be smuggled through the grass. So that's what she said.

50:20 Yet Joy Reid immediately thinks it's a racist statement. I believe 65% of all gardeners are white. And young kids mowing the grass. But it was so telling to hear her immediately think, oh he's just being racist again because only Mexicans mow the grass. Who's racist here? Yeah, Joy Reid. It's pretty obvious she is. Sadly Maxine didn't hear the question because she was out at Selma doing the bridge walk again, but I want to play the rest of the convo. I have never in my entire career seen a president talked about the way this president is talked about. He's called a liar by everybody. As a matter of fact it has been documented that he told over

51:11 thousand lies in the one year that he's been president. In addition to that, I just talked about how his staff talks about him behind his back and even his appointees to his cabinet. And so whether he's disparaging Nancy Pelosi or Maxine Waters or the state of California, it is time for the Republicans to stand up and take the responsibility for protecting this country and be on point to get rid of this president. This president needs to be impeached. absolutely clear to me and will be proven that he has colluded with Russians and he's obstructed justice before our very eyes and so he can't be funny nobody really thinks very much of him this is a president that has no respect and so we don't really care what he says

52:04 The most important thing this country can do now is impeach this president and make sure we get rid of him and get ready for Pence in 2020 and make sure that we're going to vote us in someone that we can respect, someone who's deserving of the presidency and the White House because this president certainly is not. And I'm not gonna stop calling for his impeachment. I'm gonna keep on doing it in every speech that I give because I believe in it and I believe that America deserves better. He has no values, no good values. This man's character is one that we cannot endure any longer. And so I hope that gets to what you were trying to ask me, even though I have not heard you very clearly. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to repeat over and over again what I've said constantly about him. ♪ Maxine, step away from the crackpot. ♪

53:01 Those days are over. They called you out on Fox tonight. Maxine Waters, everybody. Did she advocate Pence for 2020 in that last clip? The way I heard her say that is then we have Mike Pence and I think, you know, she said we have to get ready for him. And that is a very successful move then on Robo Rosa's part for telling the world through Big Brother that Pence is nuts. And he's worse, he's a religious nut. So yeah, they don't want Pence as the... and by the way, how would that... does she really... You're smacking your lips. Yeah. Do you think there's real collusion between Maxine and Pence? I wish! That would be good, wouldn't it?

53:57 That'd be great. I got one more clip from AM Joy, which was just another one of those incredible clips. Part of this is that there is a conservative media that is very particular about portraying the way they feel the world is and the way it should be. Unlike the liberal media. Who would not and don't at all tell you how the world should be. No, they're objective. Very objective. In this worldview that is being portrayed, Chicago is this hellhole, right? Where everyone is shooting. It's a gangland because none of them have ever been there. And the way classrooms should be is that all teachers would be prepared to take out a gun and it's somehow the Wild West. When the actual Wild West didn't allow people to carry guns in the city limits. Is that true?

54:39 Was that the rule it would be a city to city decision is bullcrap at some point does the conservative media run out of viewers because I love this Look at the ratings the top 25 cable news shows is pretty much all Fox except number three is Rachel Maddow and number 24 is Anderson Cooper with CNN show. Joy Reid doesn't even show up in the top 25 yet. She's asking at what point do they run out of viewers? Whereas it is now in fact that the complete lunacy of what MSNBC and CNN are doing is they're losing viewers.

55:27 It has to be something they're doing. Guns in the city limits. At some point, does the conservative media run out of viewers? Because it is appealing to sort of an old, kind of crusty, creepy, weird worldview. They're all gonna die. Yes! Yes! How did you know? These young people who are a big, big cohort of the American population do not share. Well, I think that there is some credence to the idea that at some point, just the process of evolution, some of these viewers, they are going to thankfully die off and that'll be the end of that. Thankfully it's worth remembering that if this deal goes through, we know to an end. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Yeah, thankfully they're going to die. Yeah, just advocating for death. So they're advocating the death. Yes, of the Fox viewer, I guess. At some point, just the process of evolution. Thankfully, thankfully you die. Thankfully. Some of these viewers,

56:14 they're gonna thankfully die off and that'll be the end of that uh... at the end of the day that the the world view that is a spouse and conservative media in places like fox news paints this distorted picture that if a crime is committed by the legal migrant it's the worst tragedy ever imaginable that that that family is pointed out at the state of the union by the president united states when it happens When a crime is committed instead by a white person, well, let's make a thousand excuses for it. Let's blame the process, let's blame background. Isn't that exactly what CNN and MSNBC do? Isn't that exactly what they do? You never hear about black shootings on MSNBC. You don't hear it anywhere. Not on Fox, not on MSNBC. No, there's a black shooting in Oakland every other day.

56:53 But now they're accusing Fox of what they do themselves. The family is pointed out at the same time. That old Dutch saying. Yeah, what you say to yourself, you're going through hell. The president of the United States when that happens. When a crime is committed instead by a white person, well, let's make a thousand excuses for it. Let's blame the process. Let's blame background checks. Let's blame mental health. That's exactly, exactly what you're doing. I'll tell you, Leo, look what happened in the Las Vegas shooting. The worst mass shooting in American history. There were no warning signs. there was no faulty background check that steven paddock american male got as many guns as he could get his hands on to unleash fire on innocent people going to a music concert festival

57:32 Where's the conversation about what safeguards we need for that? Yeah, why don't you tell me that because it Fox ain't doing it You ain't doing it CNN ain't doing it No one's talking about that anymore the worst shooting in history as if has just been erased We're shooting ever one conversation about bump stocks. It went away until there were kids who were gunned down at the school This is gonna and then you guys brought out the same thing again happening and happening and really at this point We're at a point where the Donald Trump and Republican party, they are complicit in what's going on in this country. The next time there is a mass shooting and nothing has been done to prevent it or stop it, the Republican Party and Donald Trump own it and are complicit in it. Absolutely. They will own it. Absolutely. They will own it. Absolutely. They will own it. Own it. They'll be complicit. That's right. The blood on your hands, Donald Trump. Blood on your hands. We'll out here.

58:25 We have the, unless there's any more connecting clips that I can come up with, I don't see any. Out here we have this, Jeff Sessions came out to California. Yeah, yeah, he's suing California. He's suing California, he's got three, under some law, because California is telling the feds to There's a great irony that I'm witnessing because I'm right in the middle of this. And the great irony is that historically the Republicans were always known for states' rights and the Democrats are always known for federal, federal, the government, the national government, that's what they should run everything. We don't need states' rights. And just like we need popular vote.

59:12 Not, no electoral college for the states. No, we need a popular vote where everybody votes. So that would fall in line. When everything's centralized and global, they're all globalists, no borders. No nations, no borders. So now with this situation with Sessions, they have to take the state's rights stance on everything. It's all state's rights now. Oh no, we're California, we have our rights. And it's like, wait a minute, you're the same guys who would say that there should be no such thing as states' rights. Well, anyway, so this is kind of twisted around. So let's play a couple of things to catch up because somehow, for some reason, Jerry Brown decided to jump in and he's nuts.

59:59 And so he decided to jump in and he's really the most entertaining governor. And I think he's probably somewhat resentful of Trump for the reason that he could have been Trump. Oh, that's a good point. Yeah, that's a good point. He had the potential to be as outrageous because he's insulting. He says crazy stuff. They call him Moonbeam for a reason. Yeah, Moonbeam, when the first time. So let's play a Brown session intro. An avenue of dialogue that that points out that there's problems between what's happening between state and federal laws. And so it will play out in court like it is supposed to. Sessions vowed to do everything in his power to stop California from using its power to frustrate federal law enforcement. And we intend to win this fight. Sessions says his department is simply asking California and other sanctuary jurisdictions to stop

1:00:49 actively obstructing federal law enforcement. He thanked the officers in the room and reminded them that the federal government has their backs. In Sacramento, Christina Rendon, KTVU, Fox 2 News. Well, within an hour of Sessions' speech, Governor Jerry Brown jumped in with a strong defense of California. And a couple hours later, Oakland's mayor came out swinging as well. KTVU's Paul Chambers joins us now with the mayor's response. Paul. I tell you what guys, Mayor Libby Schaaf didn't mince words when speaking about Attorney General Jeff Sessions. She said she's concerned with the threats and takes them seriously. However, all she did was stand up for members of her community. Schaaf says she feels Sessions is trying to frighten the American people into thinking that all undocumented people are dangerous criminals.

1:01:31 And welcoming the 84th- The federal government's fight against sanctuary cities and states hit home as United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions spoke in Sacramento. It's a rejection of law, and it creates an open border system. It's the only way it can be described. And I call upon him to apologize to the people of California, to bringing the mendacity of Washington to California. Hold on, mendacity? The mendacity of Washington. What is mendacity? Well, there's the mendacity of hope, I think, wasn't it something that... No, that was audacity of hope. No, it wasn't audacity. Yes, it was audacity.

1:02:11 Audacity. But what is mendacity? He said it a lot. He likes saying mendacity. Is it mendacity? Yeah, M-E-N-D-A-C-I-T-Y. And it means untruthfulness. Oh. Why doesn't he just say the liar? Yeah, well he doesn't when he goes on to PBS they get him on PBS with Judy and Judy is very frustrated because she's trying to actually do this story and she's got the Attorney General of California on and then and Brown because he had to be on if the other guy's gonna be on and so the Attorney General would say something and Brown would jump in.

1:02:47 And this went on forever. I mean, this was a very long thing, but I have a piece of it where, you know, they go back and forth a little bit. And this is on the PBS News Hour. This is Jerry Brown on a roll. It's a political stunt and it's not what our highest law enforcement officer should be doing. Well Attorney General Becerra, I'm just going to read something that Attorney General Sessions said in California today in your state. He said, I can't sit idly by when the lawful authority of federal officers is being blocked by legislative acts and politicians in your state. That's not true as the governor just said. We don't block it. We allow the federal government to do immigration enforcement because that's their role. That's their province. We don't get in their way. But we don't expect them to try to coerce us to do federal immigration enforcement for them. We do public safety and we do it well and that's what we'll continue to do. But they should not try to force us by threatening funds for our law enforcement officers, our police and sheriffs

1:02:11 Audacity. But what is mendacity? He said it a lot. He likes saying mendacity. Is it mendacity? Yeah, M-E-N-D-A-C-I-T-Y. And it means untruthfulness. Oh. Why doesn't he just say the liar? Yeah, well he doesn't when he goes on to PBS they get him on PBS with Judy and Judy is very frustrated because she's trying to actually do this story and she's got the Attorney General of California on and then and Brown because he had to be on if the other guy's gonna be on and so the Attorney General would say something and Brown would jump in.

1:02:47 And this went on forever. I mean, this was a very long thing, but I have a piece of it where, you know, they go back and forth a little bit. And this is on the PBS News Hour. This is Jerry Brown on a roll. It's a political stunt and it's not what our highest law enforcement officer should be doing. Well Attorney General Becerra, I'm just going to read something that Attorney General Sessions said in California today in your state. He said, I can't sit idly by when the lawful authority of federal officers is being blocked by legislative acts and politicians in your state. That's not true as the governor just said. We don't block it. We allow the federal government to do immigration enforcement because that's their role. That's their province. We don't get in their way. But we don't expect them to try to coerce us to do federal immigration enforcement for them. We do public safety and we do it well and that's what we'll continue to do. But they should not try to force us by threatening funds for our law enforcement officers, our police and sheriffs

1:03:47 And by threatening that, they think they're going to get us to cooperate with them. That's not cooperation. That's coercion and we're not going to go there. And by the way, we do cooperate. We cooperate through the state prisons, through jails. ICE can come out here and pick up They're man or woman whenever they want. They're going way beyond that. They're going to raids, they're picking up kids, mothers, fathers. What we need, Jeff Sessions, propose an intelligent immigration reform and we'll work with you. But don't come out with these kind of gutter tactics, bring some of your really discredited politics from your background here. It's just not right. It's not generous and it's not Christian.

1:04:31 people of the country who may not know the fine. Damn, it's not Christian to uphold the law? He brought that in a couple of times even though he's a Buddhist. Yeah, interesting. He brought that in a couple of times thinking he was running a guilt trip. Yeah. And he also condemns sessions for his some something back in Alabama days. Well there's more, there's more. It's just not right, it's not generous and it's not Christian. Well Governor, how are the people of the country who may not know the fine print of your state law versus the federal law to understand this. Because today, for example, the Attorney General said, he said, we admit 1.1 million immigrants lawfully every year into this country for immigrant, for permanent legal status. He said that, so he said the good people of this country are right to insist that we end, that we create a rational immigration flow and protect

1:05:21 the country from criminal aliens. He is focused on people who he says are breaking the law, who he says your state, again, is protecting. That is a lie. I'm choosing my words very carefully. The law explicitly recognizes the supremacy of federal law. We have explicit statutes of cooperation. We don't want to protect any criminals, but we do want to make sure we are a country of law and order. And not some kind of authoritarian coming out here for a 10 minute speech and then running back to Washington and then sending it out to the Trump campaign political wire. I mean, this is a serious problem with men and women and children's lives at stake here. And I call upon Mr. Sessions and Mr. Trump to act like Americans, act like the good Christians they claim to be and work with us to get a good immigration law.

1:06:17 That's really odd that he keeps bringing that in. He think that's going to speak to Trump's base or something? Why is he doing that? He's a Buddhist. Is he sure he's not a Satanist? He's just a Buddhist? He could be a Satanist. Wouldn't surprise me. Well, let's go to part two. He's got a little more of this. I think a little more of him going nuts. I take precedent over anything that the state law says. So it's a clear misrepresentation by them. Yeah. And by the way, the attorney general got a very captive response. I think out of 200 people, 10, 10 people stood up after he gave a speech. And the most important police chiefs support these bills. They don't support Jeff Sessions. Very quickly, Governor, President Trump is going to be in California next week. Do you have plans to meet with him?

1:07:03 Well, he hasn't let me know. By the way, we called Sessions' office, the Attorney General's office. Are you coming out? They wouldn't even take the call. But they notified the press. This is press release politics. I don't know whether Trump, he can call me on the phone. I've talked to him before about disaster relief. We had a very fine conversation. So look, I want to collaborate, but I'm not going to be complicit with lies. and denigrating the great state of California. Governor Jerry Brown, California's Attorney General Javier Becerra. Gentlemen, thank you both. which you would know better than me, but as far as I understand, immigration is for the federal government. That's their job. And the only problem they have is that California has a law on the books which forbids law enforcement from cooperating with the federal immigration agencies. Is that correct? That's, but probably, I would say that's it in a nutshell. Yeah, well, I agree you can't do that.

1:08:16 Well, that's what they're doing. You don't have to. So they declared a sanctuary state and every city's got their own sanctuary. Everyone's like so virtual signal, virtue signaling in each town, every little town, Berkeley, everybody's got sanctuary city underneath their logo. And the idea is that if you can, which is what Sessions says, it creates an open border situation. Because if you can get across the border, the state will protect you. Yes. Which is what it amounts to. But they're all bent out of shape. I only have the one last clip which is Schaaf, Libby Schaaf, the Oaklander who is kind of worried they're gonna throw her in prison.

1:08:56 Because she told everybody that the ice ice was coming ice is coming. There's gonna be raids tonight The Attorney General is trying to distract the American people from a failed immigration system by painting a racist broad brush of our immigrant community as dangerous criminals. There's nothing to do with that This is just, she is a local politician who likes to just throw in, who's got national attention. Racist, just throws her racist. You throw in the buzzwords broad brush, racist, I mean these terms. Broad brush. She always looks like she's about to cry. Have you noticed that? More recently. She looks like she's on the verge of tears. On this one, more recently because I think they

1:09:45 I think her lawyers told her she might be indicted, but she, yes, she looks like she's about to cry constantly. Well, it was the great Woody Allen who knew what was going on from his movie Sleeper. Resisters to mind reprogramming will be exterminated for the good of the state.

1:33:00 Hey, hey, hey, it's Sindhu V and you're listening to the Comedy of the Week podcast. The other day someone referred to this as the pod. And I was like, why? I mean, the word podcast is new enough and now we have to make it pod? I mean, what is that? Like the British tradition of adding edges and as-as, you know, like Madonna is madge and Boris bikes are bozzas. Anyway, welcome to the comedy of the week podge or how about welcome to the comedy of the week Paza? There you go podge. I like podge. I like podge too. I thought it was pretty good Then we have jelly be familiar with these are all a breeze. I might point out everyone told me breathe.

1:33:58 I don't know jelly. Jelly jealous? Oh no, I didn't know that. Yes, obvi. It's obvi you didn't know that. Yeah, obvi is I can, you can figure that one out. Yes, obvi is ambo. Ambo, let me guess, means you call for an ambulance. You call for an ambo. Yes, yes, very good. Very good. Garbo. You want to take out the garbage. Yeah, garbage man. Very good, very good. Posty. Postman. Yes, yes, you're doing good. Let me see. Trady. Trady that would mean tradie you go you go into Trader Joe's a trades person. Oh, yeah, and then Servo Servo is what moves the little actuator arm on a hard disk. Yes. No in this case It's a service station a gas station as it turns out. These are words that Australians already use and

1:34:59 Why am I not surprised? Yes, and they're ahead of the curve once again They've got they got all their words and isn't they've had their guns confiscated already. We haven't had so if you hear anyone using a word like deets Deets deets that's we refer to the spray that keeps mosquitoes off. You know that was that would refer to details Ah, yes, or a demo. That's all that's it. You're gonna blow something up. Yes or a Renault or That means you're gonna renovate your house. Yes, very good. You can just tell them they are culturally appropriating Australians and they need to stop it right away. That's what you do. Those abrevies are all Australian. You're appropriating their culture and you should be ashamed of yourself. You racist. Chris Wilson, say all these words with the right accent. Yes, that's exactly what you need to do. We'll be looking for a clip tomorrow.

1:35:54 And I actually do have a real phrase from the Shays. Okay. What was the one that we had in the show that we wanted to look up? I don't recall. But I do have this one. Phrase from the Shays, from whence in time dost thou reside. Clue spelled C-L-E-W. Clue. Okay, I have no idea what that means clue a ball is not a phrase is a word It's a word from the shape. Well, the phrase would be get a clue CLEW and this is that right? Yes this so clue we say CLUE Clue is a ball of wool the thread of which might be used to guide one's path in a maze or labyrinth. Oh

1:36:49 Clue is the origin of the word clue CLUE meaning fact or principle and it comes from a Clue a ball of wool that you would use to guide yourself out of a maze or labyrinth Wow tell me don't learn something That's right, oh wait you can't close the segment. Oh, I'm sorry you had one oh Well yeah, the phrase that the guy asked us about earlier, that tight as dick's hat band. Oh, did you look it up? Yeah I did, that's why I stopped here. You're gonna do it now? Where you could have done it in the space of the jingle? Well, it was once commonly encountered phrases as tight as Dick's hatband or as queer as Dick's hatband. It means something is absurd, perverse, or peculiar and its earlier appearance was in 1796 in vulgar is considered vulgar. Oh. And in the Urban Dictionary, I'm gonna look at that, it says it's an old Southern idiom which is

1:37:49 contradicts the other definition, which is the problem with all these things. Could be used to identify a place that is empty, a person who is wound up, like tight, or any, or wound, you should say wound up, or any number of situations where the word tight is used. Nobody seems to know who Dick was. Apparently he had a tough time keeping his hat on his head. So we don't know, we need to find, so the key to our research will have to be figure out who is Dick. Who is dick? You gotta be careful with this so was your so was So large you so are so so oh so I'm gonna catching it now that I have built stop it. It's okay. I'll help you now that Hope Hicks is go man Tina picked up awesome from somewhere

1:38:46 Oh, she's trying to say awesome all the time? No, well, she was and it came from her work environment. In fact, it started when I came back from picking up my award, my Marconi-Oeuvre award, and she would say it and I said, wow, did you just say awesome? She says, oh, My god, and it took and that took us about five days. I would say to get it out Awesome is a tough one to get rid of very hard, and she would go oh I'd said it again Yeah, it's really great, but you know when you love each other like I love you Then you can just say that to each other you know yeah, all right No, no one has to get triggered over it person. Yeah, instead of saying fuck you each The balloon over my head says that but

1:39:31 for purposes of the love I will just appreciate it. I noticed that I've been using some connectives, Berkeley Hummer style today and my reads aren't good so I didn't get enough sleep. Oh yeah I'd get up early because you had to start the show early because you wanted to leave early. It screwed me up and by the way next Sunday they changed the clock. I know but they don't change it in the Netherlands I don't think. They change it a different time frame like two weeks later maybe they already changed over. Well, it's gonna be a mess cuz the what one of us is gonna get the time wrong for the show on Sunday Cool won't be me Okay, like the only person who's ever overslept during the time change on the show was Thank you When it happened once I want to say when I was still in Los Angeles, so I think you dreamed it. Okay State Department since have hope Hicks is gone. We only have one cutie left Heather now hurt and

1:40:25 Yeah, she's not quitting. She's not quitting, but man, this was an interesting exchange. Matt Lee back on the scene, and I think we might be able to see some Matt Heather romance. That would be nice. It could happen. He's all over her like a cheap suit. This is this is regarding the the the video that Putin Showed during his big televised speech. This was the animation of how his weapons were going to blow us up I think if you look at that video kind of looks like the missiles are coming in this, you know, Florida. Yeah And she was asked about this and listen to her dimension be kick in massively. Oh, oh, yeah Well clip one first what I wanted to ask is about the statements made by President Putin this morning regarding these new weapons

1:41:23 said had been tested. I'm wondering what your, what the diplomatic reaction to this is from this building. Yeah, certainly, I mean, I can tell you many of us watched that speech with great interest here from the State Department and I would imagine across U.S. government as well. One of the things I want to make clear, and we've talked about this type of thing before, that we're not going to react to every word or idea that world leaders express It was certainly unfortunate to have watched the video animation that depicted a nuclear attack on the United States. I mean, that's something that we certainly did not enjoy watching. We don't regard that as the behavior of a responsible international player. So I just want to make that very clear. We just don't consider it to be responsible. So you are reacting to the... You say you're not going to react to, but you feel...

1:42:17 But he set a trap for it, didn't he? No kidding. But you just reacted to it. Very clear. It's we just don't consider it to be responsible. So you are reacting to that. You say you're not going to react to but you feel every but you feel compelled in this case to say, you know, look, we saw it and we don't think it's responsible. We don't think that kind of imagery. seen the portrayal in a cheesy video of that kind of attack being conducted on the United States as being a responsible action. Cheesy? Come on, the production was pretty good. It wasn't all that bad, Heather. It wasn't cheesy. It wasn't cheesy. Now we have in the State Department... By the way, just to stop you there, I don't know if you noticed this, but once in a while, if you get, depending on what kind of crazy software you can hook up on your machine, you can get a lot of

1:43:09 very unusual feeds of video from different parts of the world. And Russian production at its highest level right now in terms of like, we used to always joke about it in the studio, but oh, it looks like it was made in Russia, because you don't have anybody, you just get up against a wall or something. It's pretty dynamite. The Russians are doing tremendous. Oh, they have great television, oh yeah. Tremendous graphics and other things. It's really something to see. I think there's the couple of Russian channels on Pluto TV on the Roku it could be watched it there's pretty good. Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up

1:43:44 Because missing from the State Department Press Corps is still Gayan Chichikhan. I don't know what happened to her. She's been disappeared. But there were luckily other Russian television journalists there. And look out, Dimension B, here comes Heather. I'm sorry, who are... your name is? Alexander Khrushchenko, Russian TV. I'm still considering negotiations with Russia on global security issues and nuclear arms issues. after today's announcement. So your question is, would we cut off conversations and negotiations? I mean, do you change something in your attitude toward this? Well, look, it's certainly concerning to see your government, to see your country put together that kind of video that shows the Russian government attacking the United States. That's certainly a concern of ours. I don't think that that's very constructive, nor is it responsible.

1:44:35 I'll leave it at that. It was not a take in the United States. It was two missiles sent to different directions. So why do you say that they are taking? Sorry, I'm from Russia. You're from Russia and TV too? Yes. Okay. Okay. Enough said then. I'll move on. What does that mean? So, she said, oh, you're from Russian TV too? I'll leave it at that then. Enough said. Doesn't even answer the question. And then luckily some of the other journos pop in here. What does what mean? They're not they're not officials of the Russian government. They're just asking a question about Russia. Oh, really? Okay. Well, we know that that RT and other Russian news or so called news organizations

1:45:27 are funded and directed by the Russian government. So if I don't have a whole lot of time. Heather, can I just ask you one thing about the video? Oh my God. Is this video that you're talking about the cartoon? Excuse me. As I understand it, and I could be wrong, the video that was played doesn't actually show the missiles hitting anything. But I'm just asking, is it the, assessment of the US government that had the missiles in the video ended up at their presumed target, that that target was the United States? Matt, I think it certainly looks like that. I'd ask you to go back and take a look at that. It's pretty clear what their target is.

1:46:12 She's coming unglued. She's unhinged. She is she's totally dementia be gosh. She's dementia be she's in chaos Okay, so I looked up gang chichikans Twitter account did she have a baby not posted anything since August of 2017 I'm telling you she's been disappeared something was up. We need to find her oh Yeah, what happened? I don't know. We need to find her. We have Russians that listen to the show. Yep. But I don't know if you know, RT is like, it's, you know, kind of a, it's a foreign thing. It's like, I don't know if the Russian people or anyone listens to the show wouldn't have a clue about Gayan Chichikhan. Probably not. But people who listen to the show do. Well, somebody does. Somebody knows something. We have people that work in Washington, D.C., so they can tell us.

1:47:05 Maybe she's imprisoned. Something is bad. Oh boy, this was a fantastic story. I think it was 2000... When was President Obama pushing the high-speed rail from California? That was in his first term, I think. Yes, and I remember us talking about it over and over again about how this ridiculous high-speed train, which was for a while there, it was really one of his mantras. He was saying, oh, you'll never have to take off your shoes, it'll be great. Right. It was going to go from Los Angeles, I think to

1:47:48 Bakersfield and then it's going from Fresno to Bakersfield I think is the real line here. But then eventually to San Francisco which is why I got kicked out of my apartment under eminent domain because they built the bus terminal which would somehow connect to the train. Yeah they're gonna run the train underground this is gonna cost so much money. Well this is why I bring it up. The first track which is 119 miles of bullet train track in the Central Valley Where there's nobody wanting to take a passenger. Nobody is going from Bakersfield to Fresno wherever this is hooking up. The original budget was six billion dollars. For that hundred miles? Yes. And the WSP, the main consulting firm, formerly known as Parson Brinkerhoff,

1:48:41 Said yeah in order to do it. We're gonna need an additional 2.8 billion so total of at this point with another increase it'll be about 11 billion dollars just for that 119 miles of track well approximately 30% over budget well I have to mention something that happened at the Sacramento meetup and We had a training consultant to the industry, one of our listeners, producers, and he... took me aside and said the problem with the high-speed rail, he says you guys are on the right track about the high-speed rail. He says the real problem that's not being discussed is the corruption, the state-level corruption where all the assemblymen and all the people that are in this, all the Democrats that are running the state of California and Sacramento, they all have parcels of land that the train has to run through

1:49:37 He says which is one of the reasons that it's not gonna go through the Altamont Pass It's gonna go around through a bunch of bunch of little Holdings and every time the train goes through one of these little blocks of land that is owned by some guy They have to pay up a bunch of money because that to buy up the rights to the to the land that is in the article that says that was a It's rife with corruption It's rife with this is a scam from the get go and all the idealists who voted yes on this stupid thing, which shows you how dumb the public is here. And because it was put up for a vote. Oh, yeah, we want high speed rail to San Francisco. When I was at MeVio, I used to talk to some of the guys. I was anti this. And there was a bunch of people that worked there that in the little production group was amongst.

1:50:25 And I asked the mayor, each one of them, would you ever take, oh, you have to have high-speed rail, would you ever take a high-speed rail train from San Francisco to Los Angeles? Oh yeah, I'd go all the time. Wait until they see the price of the ticket. They may not want to go all the time. Here's Obama from back then. Imagine boarding a train in the center of a city. No racing to an airport, and across a terminal, no delays, no sitting on the tarmac, no lost luggage, no taking off your shoes. All aboard, trains good, planes bad. There we go. A blast from the past. Don't get me started. On the trains? I mean this scam is outrageous.

1:51:14 And they're all behind it. I mean, it's going to bring down, you know, Gavin Newsom finally threw in his hat into the ring for governor and he's the slick operator that looks a little like Treat Williams in his heyday. And, you know, he's kind of greasy, you know, he's got all the right moves. He knows how to shake hands. He's really good with babies. He's got the right looking wife after he got rid of Guilfoyle. and now he's got a blonde wife who's a little more presentable. What's wrong with Gilfoyle? She's presentable. There's nothing wrong with her, but she looks a little loose. Oh, wow. Did I say that? A butt slam. Anyway, the point is this guy, if I was going to give him some advice,

1:51:57 I would say, hey, it's not the 70s anymore. You don't want to wear an open shirt like you're some sort of a douchebag at the disco. So he does that. He should put a t-shirt under it. He'd look a little more calm. But he's going to get caught up in this because everybody in the state government at all is involved in this scam and they're going to lose. This is going to cost a lot of politicians their futures. What is needed? So we need a whistleblower. But there were just the information's out there the corruption this according to the this consultant He says it's not this is not a new it's something you don't need a whistleblower because it's public information, huh? There's nobody cares. Well, you are our resident train expert. I'm thinking you should dive into this All right. What and what's that gonna get me love and dedication? I

1:52:52 And now it's time for your sexual harassment update. Yes, we have some updates. Things moving along just beautifully. The Weinstein Company deal they were going to sell, they already have 250 million in debt. The acquiring company has called off the Acquisition because they found more debt in the cushion somewhere. Headline from New York, the New York Police Department is ready to arrest Harvey Weinstein. The question is will District Attorney Cy Vance finally agree to the arrest, which doesn't seem likely. No, I don't think so either. We have a Harvard professor resigning amidst allegations. This is an interesting story. It's a tenured

1:53:44 Harvard professor and His name is Jorge Dominguez, and he's been placed on administrative leave for now While it's while investigations are ongoing regarding sexual harassment accusations that have spanned decades of his tenure at the school according to the Washington Post and He stepped down from his administrative responsibilities Tuesday, will not teach during the spring 2018 semester, and will retire fully by the conclusion of the semester. The school found Dominguez guilty of serious misconduct in 1983 after female professor Terry Carl claimed he made unsolicited sexual advances including groping and attempted kisses. And apparently that didn't stop there. Since 1983? What a douche.

1:54:39 You know what the real scandal is at that level? And I know a professor at Stanford who told me this because he said that he wanted to become a professor just for this reason alone, is the grade swapping for sex. You think that really happens? I know it happens. It happens. Well, that's at least getting the kids ready, getting them ready for the real world. So they come in, these girls, these women, maybe there's something in the gay community that does something similar, but it's mostly women. And they're getting a lousy grade and they're gonna get kicked out or whatever.

1:55:25 guy, you know, whatever goes on goes on in the desk, locked door, a grade suddenly goes to a B. Or who knows? Or an A. Depending. Could be an A, but A's usually draw too much attention, so probably a B. Well I'll take a little side road here since you bring this up. This is from the BBC. Apparently a big thing now in the UK, and I think it actually could fit under the hashtag MeToo moniker, is rent for sex. I'm Ellie Flick, an investigative journalist. I'm going undercover to expose the landlords who offer shelter in exchange for sexual acts. It is happening everywhere. He said that the room has become available because it's his daughter's and she went to uni in September. Room for a discreet bi-gay man must be okay with receiving anal. Free room in return for cooking, cleaning and oral once or twice a week. Sex for rent is wrong, it's cruel, it's immoral and also it preys on the most vulnerable in society. Websites such as Craigslist are being used by corrupt

1:56:25 individuals to advertise a free accommodation in return for sex. Yeah, I place this under net neutrality. We've got a lot of weird things happening with this back page law and now you hear them, oh well, you know, the Craigslist is advertising these sex for rent places. So be on the lookout for another nail in the coffin of free and open communication and discussion and advertising, etc. Lawful or legal content is now being written everywhere. This will be considered unlawful content and it will shut down a lot of things. Now the final report I have for our sexual harassment update, I hate to say it... Now it's a sexual harrassment... let's go back up a second. This is the sexual harassment update.

1:57:11 Is it actually sexual harassment when a student, you know, gives a blowjob to a professor? Well, if you... and all of this is in the show notes. To get her grade up? Yeah, of course it's... Who's harassing who? It's annoying. It's annoying. And therefore illegal. You cannot annoy children with your request for anal. Stop it. That's annoying. Illegal. Forget that well, I would say that there's there is something illegal about the guys if their landlord soliciting sex Instead of money for their room and borrow to the rooms or whatever they're delivering here as opposed to it because you can't make

1:57:50 The society doesn't want to make the equation between sex and money because then it would be an equivalency which would then vary from person to person because somebody's sex, which is just an act, somebody's sex would be worth more than somebody else's sex. In other words, if I was a hottie, let's use that word. Yeah, you should get the penthouse. You probably might get more, but of course then there's actually the delivering of the sex. It doesn't necessarily have to be... There's a quality issue there. Some people could probably deliver sex better. Quality assurance. So it's racist is what you're saying. It's racist. It's not inclusive. There's no diversity. There's a lot. Bad sex.

1:58:40 Needs to be recognized as bad sex of no matter what it's still sex. There's a lot of issues here But and by the way, I want to mention everybody listen to the show We're the only guys that talk would ever talk about this in an open forum If you want to call it a forum, we do have the chat room open Because it's probably get fired for talking about if I brought up the fact that somebody is giving away good grades for oral sex at a college or university. Yeah, I'd get fired. Yes, just suggest you have any proof. In fact, you almost called me out. Well, that can't be going on. Yeah.

1:59:18 And by the way, which was the dumbest thing you've said probably in the last month. Oh, thanks. I appreciate that. Can't be going on. It's probably going on more than I think. You've heard of, um, well, never mind. Cynicism, irony, any of those? No? I've heard of irony. I think you should give you, okay, I get it. You should give your theory. There's another thing we would never get away with. You have a racist theory. I do. About irony. I do? Yeah, and I think it's fascinating because ever since you told me this is one of those you tell me stuff once in a while that's a little off the wall and I dwell on it probably for years. You're really gonna have to help me. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm letting you suffer. You said that the Latins cannot understand irony. Yes, Latino, Latinas specifically, but all Latinxs have a poor understanding of irony. Yes. Yeah.

2:00:16 And I've been observing that over the years. It's true, right? I have not seen any evidence of the contrary. Yeah, it's cultural. It's cultural. I hate to be racist about it. Because that's what I'd be called out if this were an M5M show. And you'd be fired. I'd be done. We've been fired about six times just in the last ten minutes. This is the article that I knew was coming. I feel bad for him, but Mark Cuban made the stupid joke about we should throw the game. He got fined. What was it? $300,000, $600,000? $600,000. By the NBA. They're gonna get him out. And here is the smoking gun. Will Amitt weak?

2:00:56 has obtained and published excerpts of a 2011 police report, not safe for work this particular article, investigating a woman's claim that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban sexually assaulted her while posing for a photo, allegedly reaching his hand down the back of her jeans and inserting his finger into her vagina. Nice posing for a photo. Yeah. Yeah, how do you do that? Well, you put your hand down her back and then put it slip it in. What do you mean? Try it? Try it during a photo. Should you have photo evidence not a photo shoot? Well, yes, and they say ah Hold on in both images Cubans right shoulder is lowered and he appears to be stretching his arm down In one of the pictures his arm can be seen behind the alleged victim and appears Cuban is reaching down towards her buttocks

2:01:52 So we're waiting for more photographic evidence. It's apparently cell phone picture quality from 2011 which may not be the best. No, but it's good enough to get him out. Yeah, that's all you need. All you need. And, uh, but we know. We know this guy. He's a philanderer. And I'll just say it because I know he is. And that's okay. But, you know, then you get what you deserve, Charlie. Well, he's has his you know, he's such a he's another anti-he's a never trumper type guy. Hmm. Well might as well since we're on the topic, dig ourselves out of the hole. Should I close the segment? No, because I want to finish the no don't close the segment because this is the last bit of the segment. Oh, this is the one.

2:02:39 Stormy Daniels, let's do an update. Nothing like the prostitute versus the president! Film star Stormy Daniels is now suing the president. Her attorney saying he has no doubt that the president knew that Daniels had been paid $130,000 just before the election to keep quiet. She now says that deal is not valid because the president did not sign it. Here's ABC's chief national correspondent Tom Yamas tonight. Tonight, the White House in damage control. Porn star Stormy Daniels suing President Trump, arguing her non-disclosure agreement is null and void. Daniels claims she and the president began an intimate relationship in the summer of 2006 in Lake Tahoe, a relationship that included at least one meeting in a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel. I spoke with her lawyer today. Did your client, Stormy Daniels, have sex with President Trump?

2:03:33 There's no doubt about that. No doubt in my mind. In the complaint, Daniels acknowledges son. That's a nice legal answer, isn't it? That's a lawyer. No doubt in my mind. Okay, thanks. That means that might not be true. Lawyer today. Did your client, Stormy Daniels, have sex with President Trump? Yes. There's no doubt about that. No doubt in my mind. In the complaint, Daniels acknowledges signing what she calls a hush agreement, something she has not done before. Do you have a non-disclosure agreement? Do I? The president's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, has admitted paying Daniels $130,000 of his own money just days before the election, but said in a statement neither the Trump organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction.

2:04:19 Daniel's attorney says the president must have been aware. The suggestion or any suggestion that he didn't know about it is quite honestly absurd for lack of a better term. We believe that he absolutely knew about it. The White House pressed on this today. Yeah, I've had conversations with the president about this and as I outlined earlier that this case had already been won in arbitration. And that there was no knowledge of any payments from the president and he's denied all of these allegations. In her lawsuit, Daniels now claims the non-disclosure agreement is invalid. Why? There is a signature line for Mr. Trump on the agreement. He was obligated to sign it and he never signed it. And it's really that simple.

2:05:02 Daniels claims they used aliases in the agreement. President Trump was referred to as David Dennison and she was Peggy Peterson. And right here you can see a space where Daniels says Mr. Trump would have signed, but it's blank. And Tom is with us now. We heard Sarah Sanders say just a moment ago that they already won in arbitration. That got our attention today. What does she mean by that? That's right. We actually have some new reporting on that, David. Now, Stormy Daniels' attorney tells us that last week Michael Cohen obtained a temporary restraining order against Ms. Daniels, essentially saying if she talks about confidential information regarding President Trump, she could be subject to damages. Daniels' attorney calls this a bogus arbitration order and that they will not be intimidated

2:05:43 Cohen is not returning our phone calls David. All right Tom great to have you at what point will these sex craze journos Realize that all they're doing is helping to promote her signing tour. She's on tour Yeah, I know and this is how she's doing. She's going gangbusters. Yes. She's making tons of money No, can you be impeached for this? Well according to that waters? Yeah, I'm sure I like the fact that he's supposed to sign Danny Davidson or something like that. And by the way, the lawyer said he used this phrase. It's not a phrase from the Shays, it's a phrase that's always annoying. Absurd, for lack of a better term.

2:06:25 There's tons of better terms. There's tons of better terms. There's tons of better and there's tons of equal terms. I think preposterous is the one he should have used. That's good, yeah. It's preposterous is a good one. Preposterous, I tell you. Unreasonable, which is a really good term. Ludicrous. Ludicrous is a better term, I think. Laughable, that works better in context. It's laughable! Irrational, illogical, goofy. There's tons of synonyms for absurd for lack of a better term. Anyway, since we did this before, I just did it again. Looked into the thesaurus. And this concludes your sexual harassment update. Let me see. I have a couple of, I have three clips I want to play. I'd like to take a break actually. I am the timekeeper.

2:07:19 Yeah, you are the timekeeper. And I'd like to read a note from one of our producers, because we're thanking a lot of people today. Hey guys, just so you know, this recent donation snafu has pushed me into action. This is from producer Dustin. I reapplied for the $5 a month plan and I'm fixing to send you guys $50 to get you through these times. Money has been a little tight since I've been prepping to move from Japan to America, but I digress. And he has a whole note there, but I just wanted to thank him because when the $5 donors, they are very important and we need to mention them from time to time. So thank you very much Dustin and let's thank a whole bunch of other people. I'm gonna show my support by donating to KnowAgenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab.

Also, I need a douchebag call out for

2:11:02 Shane. He's been listening for some time, always talks about a donation, but I've never heard his name. So maybe this will get him to return some of the value we have all received from the No Agenda Show. Excellent. Nathan Muller, or Muller in parts unknown. Peter Barthel 100. Nathan Muller was 100. Eric Blackwell is 100. A lot of hundreds here, which is nice. Laura Wilson in Sammamish. Sad puppy works, she says. The sad puppy, I put a sad puppy in the newsletter. I knew it would work on somebody. And by the way, the sad puppy which turns out to have worked in this regard too was the boobs donation. Even though I have a sad puppy donation, but it was already set for boobs, I left it at boobs. I didn't click on the puppy. See Scott Sheffield, you should have. 100. Bob and Kelly Mill... Is that linkage a puppies joke?

2:11:58 You should have? No, boobs. If you link to boobs, is that because the synonym is puppies? No, no, here's the back story. I had a, there was a puppy donation that was on the list. I was going to put it in there. And so then when I had the puppy picture and I went to link to, this is part of the back end of the process, it popped up. It already had a link, that spot, because I take old templates and put new stuff in it. And I said, well, I wonder what that, oh, it's boobs. And then I decided I'll keep the boobs on there instead of using the more appropriate donation. So it was actually a mistake. I just felt a new book coming on, at least a giblet for the Amazons, Podcasting for Profit with Puppies by John C. Dvorak. I could do 10 pages on that. Profitable podcasting with puppies.

2:12:53 I like it. I like it. I'll give you a call out at the forward. I'm writing the forward. What are you talking about? Ah, you are writing the forward. Bob and Kelly Milligan, Elko, Nevada. Talking about that. So the NAB, I get, you know, I'm a subscriber. National Association of Broadcasters. So I get this thing. Maybe we've got the special pod. Oh, I got that too. No podcast pavilion. Yeah podcast pavilion See the studio See that perfect podcasting somebody who is there has to or when is it this weekend? I think oh

2:13:31 Somebody has to send us pictures of the podcast pavilion. I was going to suggest the exact same thing. Somebody that's going to NAB, and we have broadcasters that listen to us, has to go into that pavilion and take copious pictures of the perfect podcasting studio because we've got to see it. We weren't invited in this regard, I might add. No, I mean why do that? No, it was just a couple of PBS... I mean, John, if you read any article today about podcasting, it starts off like this. Thanks to Serial and Gimlet Media, whatever it is, podcasting's on the map! Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Heaven forbid every old workaday podcaster gets any sort of recognition. Nobody even talks to them. No, why bother?

2:14:20 Why bother? And in fact, knowing the way the game's played, why bother? Why bother? Who cares? Bob and Kelly Milligan in Elko, Nevada. 100. David Flynn, 99.99 in El Paso.

You're going to be in Europe. Yes, sir.

2:25:54 This coming Sunday, we're going to reflect that in the next newsletter with a special offer, is Mothering Day in the UK. Ah, Mother's Day. Mothering Day? No, no, well it's Mother's Mothering Day. Mothering Day. Oh, nice. They don't call it Mother's Day, but they call it Mothering Day. So I had a dream, I have a few clips to play to kind of celebrate, maybe get the Brits interested in, you know, stuff going on. For example, we know the hard-working British have things to do and places to go. And so somebody did a, I guess LBC, one of these radio shows.

2:26:39 found they did a special report by sending in a kind of a secret secretly sending in a guy as an employee of Amazon in one of the warehouses. Which where oh is one of the Amazon warehouses where they have slaves? Yeah one of the great big ones in England. Where they have slaves? Where everyone's treated horribly? Well, that's kind of the impression you get and above all you have to apparently walk a lot if you have one of these jobs. Let's just listen to the report and see what you think. Lots of places that you wanted to get a kind of a sample of different kinds of work. One was an Amazon warehouse which sounds like it was, apart from everything else, physically hard work.

2:27:20 Yeah, I mean it was physically hard. You weren't always, I mean it was the minimum wage which, I mean, respect to the government, the minimum wage increased during my time at Amazon, but the wage wasn't always, you didn't always receive, you received effectively below the minimum wage sometimes because the employment agencies weren't paying you properly. and As I say, you weren't paid properly for much of the work you actually did. You were reprimanded if you went to the toilet. And it was... Why were they tracking you? There was a device on you that was following you personally? Yeah, so it was around productivity. So there was this device which you'd have to carry around with you during your 10 to 12 mile walk around the warehouse throughout your shift each day.

2:28:17 And if you were slow, it would send you a message, a message would ping through telling you that you needed to keep, to get your productivity up. I'm disappointed it didn't shock them. Etc. If you were off sick, a day off sick, you'd be disciplined effectively with this point system they had there. And this was in a community, one thing that was really notable, this was in a community where, you know, 30-40 years ago, it had been a kind of centre of British industry. And the biggest employer then when I went there was Amazon. So, there was this underlying resentment in the community which I noticed that this, the kind of

2:28:55 Um, the way that the place has effectively got worse in the past, in recent decades. You were literally walking miles every day. What were you doing? It's such an enormous wear. What are you doing? Collecting bits of stuff off a shelf and putting it into a package or what, what, how did it work? Steve laughs picking the kind of the various items off the shelves that Amazon customers had ordered and you'd walk around the average was my average was around 10 11 miles a day but some people would be walking up to 15 miles a day. Let me understand this

2:29:43 They are upset about the walking, that's clear. It's too much walking. Too much walking. And they're being tracked. I mean this is coming from the country whose government puts cameras in their trash bins to see if they're throwing the right shit out in the right bin. Yeah. And they're complaining about this? Apparently, yeah. I have a great idea. This would fix Brexit too. You ready? I'm ready. Make the United Kingdom the central Amazon hub for all of the EU. Because they're already the largest employer. Just make it, have everyone employed by Amazon. There you go, they can change it to Amazon K, the Amazon kingdom. The kingdom of Amazon. AK. Oh my goodness. I know, I felt, jeez. It's like a scandal, he has to walk because it's his job. It's like a dog walker complaining about all the walking they have to do. So I thought that was a good clip because it just said, I said, oh brother, these guys have got issues.

2:30:43 Then we have a kind of a funny clip which is Farage on his little radio show bitching about this guy O'Leary who runs Ryanair who was a Brexit guy and now he's turned against Brexit. This Brexit thing is still a nightmare over there but Farage is always entertaining. A speech yesterday by Ryanair's boss Michael O'Leary. who said he wants to create an opportunity by making people realize they're no longer going to have cheap holidays and he's suggesting that it's in our interest, by which he means the European Union, not for a long period of time but to ground the aircraft to stop people being able to leave the country and

2:31:27 and he thinks by doing this he'll persuade the average British voter they were lied to in the Brexit debate and that'll change their minds. What I have to say Mr O'Leary, you're pretty much true to form aren't you? There was a time a few years ago when you called the European Commission the evil empire and you said in the first referendum on Dublin that the Irish should vote no. For some reason you become a convert to the European project. I'm sure that money and deals have absolutely nothing to do with it. I'm sure it's genuine in every way. And of course I have had the misfortune to meet Mr O'Leary in the past and I think frankly what he's saying here is simply disgusting. Good old Nigel.

2:32:12 And there's a lot going off on that guy. Now the last one I have, which I think is really an outstanding clip. Just about that clip, you know what I like most about that Farage clip? Is that it was recorded from the AM transmitter. AM is still such a cultural thing in the UK. Yeah, well it is here too if you listen to right-wing talk radio. Right-wing talk radio, yeah. But lots of talk radio is still AM in the UK. And people really like it. Well, it gets, you know, it has... The signal gets out. The signal gets out. I'll tell you that. I mean at night I can pick up from Washington... Pittsburgh on the wireless. On the wireless I can pick up most of the Los Angeles stations from Washington State.

2:33:01 Anyway, now this is Peter Hitchens who's Christopher Hitchens brother and when I first saw this clip This is one of these another talk thing, but this video he's discussing He's just got a punchline in here that I can't help but I had to get this clip now Who is Peter Hitchens? He's Christopher Hitchens the British intellectual died recently. Who's the atheist and he was okay. Gotcha He's a very famous guy and he and Peter looks just like him and kind of sounds like him in the little more muddy. You know, the British upper class has a mud in there. Marble things got a little more of that going on. So it takes a little while to pick him up.

2:33:43 But I think he makes a good point here as they discuss just the general politics of Brexit. He's a Brexiteer and he says something in here I've never heard anyone say, even though we say it, we've said it, and he says that nobody ever says this because it's kind of verboten to say. And here we go. You think Britain scuttled away from empire? We didn't scuttle away from empire. We were driven away from empire by the United States, which ordered us pretty much on pain of bankruptcy to demolish our empire at Bretton Woods. and subsequently continued the pressure through the Marshall Plan to do so. Which Britain paid off a couple of years ago? Do you want the Empire again? Well, it's ludicrous to talk about having the Empire again. It's gone and it's irrecoverable. So, no, but I think that we, in looking back on our history, we should recognise that it wasn't entirely a bad thing.

2:34:35 It had its faults, but that's a historical discussion. Look, in this world, you either have an empire or you're part of somebody else's. And if you had to choose to be in any of the empires of the past 2,000 years, I think the British Empire would come pretty high on the list of ones you'd rather be part of. But we are currently part of the European Union, which is an empire. It's just a modern, politically correct Well, it is really a German Empire, but we can't say that. Uh-huh. Yeah, of course it's a German Empire. We know who runs the show. That's interesting. It's a German Empire, but we can't really say that, can we, he says. Speaking of empire, I received an email this morning, and it checks out from the secretary from one of the palaces.

2:35:30 I have been invited by His and Her Majesties the King and Queen of the Netherlands for a luncheon on April 11th. Well, you're gonna be jet-setting. I don't know if I'm going. You have to go. They said we'd like to send you an invitation. I said okay here's my address and she said oh do you have an address in the Netherlands by any chance? Why would that be? They can't send anything overseas? Is that illegal? Or it costs the money? The post office costs another 10 cents. It's too expensive. I think it's free if they send it within Holland but if they got to send it to Texas then it costs money.

2:36:08 Yeah, like five bucks probably I'm like, you know, it would be a quick turnaround to go back but it's very tempting Oh, I wouldn't think twice about it. It's very tempting. You may have to go Paparazzi will be there you'll be all you'll be boosted again if I do that then I'll have had the Queen of England and I'll have had the Queen and the King of the Netherlands and the Queen of America. You know, Hillary Clinton also invited me to the White House back when she was there with Bill. You know, I got invited too. That's funny. And then there's this bit, all they wanted me to do is chip in. And there's a big red button I could push. I want to play two clips that are about the war on men.

2:36:49 This is Jordan Peterson. He's doing appearances everywhere, and I'm I really like his message I really like what he's saying. I like how he speaks. I like how he analyzes things I took out everything that Tucker Carlson said in in the middle and just had him in this one multi-minute diatribe of what is happening to men in America, I think That's partly a consequence of directed policy So it's linked to the idea that there's something wrong with masculinity. And so that the expression of masculinity should be limited in all sorts of arbitrary ways. The fact that kids can't really play at schools anymore is a manifestation of that.

2:37:38 The fact that male behavior is often diagnosed as attention deficit disorder, for example, is a manifestation of that. the the elimination of competition as a valid form of human interaction and the The failure to recognize that competitive sports for example are deeply cooperative in their fundamental nature As long as everyone is playing by the rules obviously so There's that that that's a large part of it because it's easy to mistake masculine competence for the tyranny that hypothetically drives the patriarchy it's part of a Ideological worldview that sees the entire history of Mankind as the oppression of women by men which is a dreadful way of looking at the world a very pathological way of looking at the world

2:38:34 It's not like men and women always get along any more than men and men get along or women and women for that matter but fundamentally human history is a cooperative enterprise and men and women have lifted themselves out of the mire over millennia in their cooperative endeavor and to describe that as centuries of the oppression of men by of women by men is an absolutely reprehensible, ideological rewrite of history. And it's what's taught in the humanities and in much of the social sciences at universities, and increasingly in the public education system. It's taken as an unassailable fact. I mean, if you're made out to be

2:39:17 What a potential manifestation of rape culture if you're part of toxic masculinity if your competitive drive is regarded as part of a tyrannical impulse if the heritage to which you are to which you belong is regarded as an oppressive patriarchy then how in the world are you going to step forward with confidence and shoulder that burden? Why wouldn't you just step aside and retreat, which is exactly what's happening. I don't know if they are precisely allowing it to happen. It's very insidious, the ideological movement that's driving this part of the radical left

2:40:04 Part of the radical left I would say is it's very insidious movement It's not an easy thing to resist and a lot of it occurs. Well, for example, it occurs in the school system increasingly It isn't clear what they're not men that are reacting to that. That's boys. It's not clear what they're supposed to do about it And he also gave us some advice about what to do about this problem. I And finally, if you were to give parents of boys one piece of advice for how in their small way they can fight against this trend for the sake of their own boys, what would it be? Well, I would say first of all, encourage them. And I mean that most deeply is that to encourage someone is to instill courage in them, to support their courage.

2:40:50 And that doesn't mean protect them from what's dangerous, it means teach them how to be competent and teach them that they can rely on themselves to prevail, even in the darkest of circumstances. That's part of it. I would say as well, more specifically, and this is specific advice for parents, if you have your children in a school and they talk about equity, and there's class and they talk about equity, diversity, inclusivity, white privilege, systemic racism, any of that, you take your children out of the class. They're not being educated, they're being indoctrinated and there's absolutely no excuse for it. There you go. Yep, I agree with that a hundred percent. A lone voice in the wilderness.

2:41:39 front cover of this week's Hollywood Reporter has this the cast of three four of the actors from the beta males rise of the beta male we're doomed well meanwhile is as is it since it is the International Year of the Woman Teresa May gave a little spiel on this regard and it makes it sound as though, hey, this is all bullcrap. She doesn't say this, but this is what you come away with. This is all bullcrap. The women have already taken over the place. In 2018, United Kingdom's most senior judge is a woman. The commissioner of the Metropolitan Police is a woman. The director of the National Crime Agency is a woman. Women serve as England's chief fire officer and chief medical officer.

2:42:27 The CBI and the TUC are both headed by women. At Holyrood, a female First Minister debates against a female opposition leader. In the National Assembly for Wales, a woman leads the third party. The two largest parties in Northern Ireland are led by women. And at Westminster, where suffragettes chain themselves to statues and hid in a broom cupboard on census night, the leaders of the House of Commons and the House of Lords are women. Black Rod, whose predecessor ejected suffragettes from the palace precincts, is a woman. A century ago, the Home Secretary and Director of Public Prosecutions were grappling with the direct action of suffragettes. Today, both those offices are held by women.

2:43:15 And as the woman at the head of our country's government, a century after my grandmothers were first given the right to vote, my mission is clear. To build that better future for all our people. A country that works for everyone. And a democracy in which every voice is heard. We're all gonna die! We're all gonna die! yeah well they go I guess your work is done yeah it's what it looks like to me geez gonna kick out of a John I gotta go I gotta go I have one more clip then we can leave on that because I do have to get bring people up to date worldwide on the

2:43:59 catastrophic weather that we're having on the East Coast. But I have some commentary to make and I will play this clip and then I'll have to tell you what is actually going on here that I find just kind of annoying. Battling a nor'easter is never easy. Battling two in less than a week is taking its toll. March is no good. Throughout the northeast, the cleanup from the first storm is being buried by a heavy wet snow, in some places piling up over a foot. A teacher was struck by lightning in New Jersey during a rare weather phenomenon known as thundersnow. Don't take this for granted. Take it seriously. Take precautions. More than 2,000 flights canceled today. This is exhausting, actually. Tens of thousands of people remain without power in the region. We've been out of power since Friday, and we've been so cold. For Lori and Terry

2:44:57 For the primary electile who live north of New York City, no electricity also means no water. This should last us maybe a couple of days if we're conservative. Power crews even in the driving wind and snow installed new poles and new lines. One street we go down, you got poles down, and then you go down the next street and you got more poles down. The local power company is calling in reinforcements, while some are calling for the head of that company to be fired. Along the coast, massive waves flooded roads and homes. In Massachusetts, communities still underwater from last week's storm could be facing even more water. Okay, couple of things. These little communities, a lot of them, especially in the East Coast, and you may remember this, they banned wood-burning stoves. Yes.

2:45:48 So the power goes out and they're using electrical heating or even gas, sometimes the gas lines are gone too. They can't warm themselves up. This guy says, oh it's cold, I'm so cold. Yeah, well if they had to pass all these laws against wood-burning stoves, there's wood everywhere because it's falling into the streets. You could have a night, you'd be nice, warm, and cozy. But no, no, no, okay, so there's our little policy problem. The second one is the idiocy of the people themselves. They show a scene, these women, they're talking about, they show the back of their RV and it's got a bunch of like five or six plastic giant jugs of water. And she says, I don't know, this is all the water we could get. They had to go bring it in from somewhere because I guess there's no water flowing through the pipes. And she says, I don't know what we're gonna do if we run out. She is standing in like a five foot snow drift. She's completely surrounded by snow. How about turn that into water?

2:46:42 Well, that's what I told this to Mimi and she just started laughing so hard. We had a big snow problem recently and she grabbed a lot of the snow and turned it into water because you would take any snow and run it through a Brita or a Zerowater. It's absolutely delicious. But no, no, no. We can't think like that because we're stupid. When I was a kid, six years old, six, seven years old, and it would snow, you know what my mom would do? Let's make snow ice cream and we go out we gather some snow and she just drizzles some vanilla extract Snow ice cream and we'd be happy

2:47:21 Yeah, yeah, you can do that. Yeah, but you can't even think of that anymore. No, no, no. Ice cream. Can't even go that far. No, we're gonna die of lack of water in the snow drift. That's like the Irish dying when they had no potatoes, but there was fish right off the coast. Just as a follow-up to that joke, which is commonly used, we were in, the family were in South Africa some years ago, a long time ago actually, and there was a museum. And we were going through this museum and they had an Irish boat, like a little, and it was totally round. And we said, no wonder the Irish couldn't get fish. They paddled, they just go spinning in a circle. Just like this round boat.

2:48:10 Hey, nothing against the Irish. Nah, we love the Irish. We love yous. Yeah, for sure. We love the Irish. Alright, I'll be doing post-production post-haste. Getting my ass out of here, off to the lowlands. I will have a full European Union report from the German Empire known as the European Union. That's how we should address it from now on. I think from now on that's it. You nailed it. And we'd appreciate you thinking about us for the next show. Dvorak.org slash NA. You know the jingle. It's stuck in your mind, you can't help yourself. Coming to you from downtown Austin, Tejas, capital of the drone star state, it's FEMA Region 6 and all the governmental maps, in the 5x9 Cluedio in the common law condo, in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
