Privilege Walk

00:00 Trump's a creep. Oh, yeah, Trump. Tracking fur babies and phone zombies, and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state here in downtown Austin Tejas in the Clunio. In the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley where we all know that you have a roll of quarters in your fist if you get into a fight...I am John C. DuBois Yes, an old classic if you can still find a roll of quarters anywhere and get them from the bank Yeah Who who has rolls of quarters laying around nobody? No we have been laying around you should Nichols also kind of work You have a roll of quarters just in case you get into a fist. I said one in each pocket Is that a roll to quarters in your pocket

01:03 You go. Oh man, we went into collective insanity overdrive with that Yanny Laurel thing oh my I you know if you notice my clip list there's no mention of it yeah I had to wasn't gonna be the one I had to mention it because I by the way the dress was white and gold yeah blue and purple whatever it was Want to know who did this that's what that's what is as it is not a part of any reporting Who did it? No, I just a part of the reporting in fact our local local station And I think I've heard oh They talked about That they got there trying to track this guy or woman down and they can't do it. They don't know who it is But it is part of the reporting okay well so we don't know who it is now

01:47 No, that's really a big mystery. Well these are two computer synthesized voices and you hear different versions of the either Laurel or Yanny based upon the device you're listening to your own hearing range and I know a whole bunch of different things and i have a little filter set up just going to demonstrate I'm gonna filter lows mids highs in-and-out move it back and forth then you will hear the two different Uh, names. I'm hearing Laurel now. Yeah of course that's because that what you hear! I can already hear it. You can hear the two mixed together. Yeah this is the point. Not everybody knows this.

02:38 Almost done So you probably would have heard Yanni and Laurel at one point on this exactly what you heard because that's what did your hip playing? Yeah, but now they show some examples And I think they're pretty rare of someone two people listen to the exact same feed and getting two different things that I I guess there's some in-between moment there where that's a possibility But generally speaking. This is a function of the frequencies yeah So what? So why is this a big deal? It's not, but I just wanted to slow things down too or play it backwards and hear the devil. You've done that a number of times. Yes exactly so i just wanted to give some sanity because everyone...I mean I was accused of being a liar in my own house! What?! Okay now this is the story. That's Tina's daughter

03:27 She's with us for the summer. Oh, the hill bot? No she is not a hill bot. Yes she is! No that's the other one... Neither of them are hill bots but it was you know she was very surprised and said now you're just lying to me oh what yes she says you're lying to her about what because I heard I said I hear this and she said now I hear this you got that can't be true It's ripping the fabric of our culture apart okay Dumb. Damn Yanny Laurel At least we got a nice little news cycle out of it It was brought up on the NBC nightly news I believe and some other these big reports, and it was just annoying I found it was like brothers where it was worse than the dress thing Oh yeah Yeah Anyway done Just change your frequencies Although you might be able to use that To put stuff into people's ears Have a different frequency

04:29 Donate to no agenda. Donate to no agenda. Donate to no agenda. It could be done. Donate to no agenda! I prefer the catchy tunes myself, I agree Yeah they work. Get you get your ear worm Alright well we have to start off with the good news as my quest end this is continuing Good morning, I'm Rachel Martin. American Airlines is getting stricter about emotional support animals. These are the creatures that provide comfort to people suffering from extreme anxiety. Now passengers traveling with support animals will have to fill out paperwork 48 hours in advance and the airline is going to double check notes from doctors some animals are now totally banned no insects goats hedgehogs ferrets spiders chickens or hawks or any animal that smells miniature horses are apparently still okay it's Morning Edition

05:19 Any animal that smells, that's the criteria? Oh. Yeah good! Damn dog people. You win. Did you see the video little YouTube video that came out this kid decides he got a service animal and he decides to feign a heart attack yeah and then the dog starts humping his head Why does that never happen on the plane? That would be entertainment that I would be okay with Yeah fabulous well The fur babies are definitely having you know that US births have hit the lowest since 1987. I don't know if that's significant or not, but I thought it was 20 years it wasn't 30 year 30 years a cycle and

06:08 Yeah, it goes up goes down. Yeah well where is the dog cycle? How do those two... Where's the Venn diagram how to those two intersect? No you got to do your own cycle analysis I also read and this was odd maybe it's related and I personally think its a native ad for some pharmacy this isn't in UK but it is from let see it is from their health and science editor Yeah, Martin Baggett health and science correspondent. Half the men half of all men I guess in the UK in their 30s struggle to get an erection 49% blame stress 24% blame boozing too much so nearly half that's 43 percent of men aged 18 to 60 across the UK are suffering impotence four and ten men blaming stress tiredness anxiety and then the the boozing too heavy

07:03 Wow. That's all new. Yeah, well... It never happened in the history of America Well this is UK I blame the women Okay yeah do tell No it just did you know You just blame the women? Yeah Yes its easier Okay Well, maybe I should just play this little clip from Jordan Peterson quickie 46 seconds kind of sets the frame for everything we're dealing with and It's in a way kind of related to Yanni and Laurel but not really more the fallout from it one of the things that I've come to understand about political arguments is well say people say well they you know The person on the other side of the ideological continuum has different opinions than I do. It's like no They don't or maybe they do but they don't see the same facts

07:54 Because the filter they use to select from among the infinite number of available facts preferentially presents them with the facts that are relevant to them. And that's already built into their ethic! So, one of the horrible things about political discussions is you're actually having a discussion about what the facts are and say well the facts are the same for everyone It's like saying I have an infinite library of books And you can come into it. It's like, well are you going to pick out the same book? Seems highly improbable." I think there is an element of truth in that if i could just pick a fact. Not sure actually what he said. What he said was that there are so many facts... We'll take Trump for example There're so many facts about... Here's an easy one ZTE and the only reason why this story kind of stuck out for me Is because I got his ZTE phone You know to try as OTG phone failed miserably

08:48 But it's a Chinese piece of junk and so that company was out, you know. You couldn't... I guess they couldn't export any phones because there was some technology that had been passed on or stolen. It's kind of irrelevant to the story So not no ZTE phones in America And then the president comes back and says ah we got to change this This is about jobs We can't be screwing these Chinas this way And if you take that fact with another fact, that the Chinese are funding some huge project of which there will also be a $500 million Trump hotel. I doubt that the Trump organization is building it but... So people immediately take those facts connected. Occam's Razor say yeah its a quid pro quo He's getting 500 million for his building because thats what he needs of course! That's what its all about

09:41 And so he's gonna give something back by letting ZTE, you know trying to fix the ZTE problem. That's just picking some facts and turning it into your truth and it's happening that's a story that's real yeah All right, I'm sold. All right now we go to and I'm glad I was more I'm glad I was able to get a recording of this happening remember I told you about the The woman who'd been pulled over by cop and then she did the face bag video And she was all you know like he He was a racist and all this stuff and nothing could be further from the truth according to the body cam Yeah So there was a pastor also NAACP president

10:25 from South Carolina Reverend Jared Moultrie and He posted the following on the face bag as he was even pulled over for a traffic stop which he considered to be profiling Here's what? He posted on the face bag So it's the officer and him. Hello, sir How can I help you officer? I'm stopping you because you failed to put on a turn signal And do you have any drugs in the car? Sir, how do you know if I use my turn signal when you were approaching me as I turned? Are there any drugs in your car or why are you asking that? License and registration. Sir can i take off my seatbelt and get it sure As I open the glove box, sir this is a new car. Just purchased it and all i have is bill of sale insurance and registration from a car I'm transferring tags. Okay where you work in whose cars is this? And why are you in this neighborhood? Sir I'm a pastor! I live in the house on the left oh I guess I'm Bill Gates then says the officer. Sir what's the problem? I asked you who for that who the car was, but whose car this is for the last time and why you're in his neighborhood me

11:23 Me, I told you for the last time this is my car and this is I live right over there by the way sir can I speak to your supervisor officer walks away with my information when he returns. He says did you know your tags came back another vehicle? Sir I just explained this to you sir I've purchased multiple vehicles never heard This now and the officer interrupts You need to park this vehicle and never drive it till you get this straight with a DMV I'm warning you not to drive this car till the tags get straight and just know i'm doing your favor tonight, not taking you to jail or writing a ticket. Sir, you might be doing yourself a favor but you're certainly not doing me a favor." And it just continues on like that so he was racially profiled and treated like he didn't belong in that neighborhood... ...and the cop released the body cam video which I cut down removing all of the silences. Hey how are you?

12:10 I'm all right. I'm officer miles with the Templesville Police Department. That's a lot short stretch proof insurance on you Okay, that's fine. We're ready here now you don't know the motor vehicle You just transfer okay? What's your name? Jamie, okay? You got to drive plus home this done But reason why I'm coming in contact with it is whenever he took the left right here He didn't say no okay. That's only one come into contact with you, okay? Sit tight

12:48 So now he goes back to his car, checks everything out. Here you go, okay? Try not to drive the car no more until you get the proper documentation because this registration has come back till 1992 GMC truck. It's even in system as that too but what I'm saying is you gotta have a proper registration and insurance and all that stuff to actually indicate that plate comes back into this motor vehicle okay because when i run the plate it still coming back to this. It's not coming back your call Okay I understand that but look I just bought the car the other day. I switched the tags... Well, you probably need to go to DMV and ask them how come it's not registered on the state of South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles It still coming back to that truck? I understand that but this is what i'm telling ya. I switched the tags from the truck to the car they told me at DMV

13:34 The dealer put that on there to show that the tag is going to be transferred. And all I need to do is keep this registration in there and it's billed as said. They told you wrong, You got to have the proper documentation In your motor vehicle That actually matches the car that your operating on South Carolina highways In order for it to happen legally To operate on South Carolina Highways They told you wrong OK? Alright Other than that, there's your driver license. Just make sure you wear your seatbelt at all times while operating the motor vehicle on South Carolina highways and drive safe okay? There you go That was the entire exchange I missed the whole Bill Gates thing, the drugs thing

14:11 So the guy, well besides being an obvious liar if this guy was you had to do a hell of an edit job on the tape. Oh no that wouldn't quite extraordinary It wouldn't make sense Besides being an obvious liar and then kind of provocateur by putting a bull crap thing out there on the face bags The guy's switching tags around on his cars. I mean, everybody knows that's illegal and he let him go for the cock and bull story all the dealer told me to do it Yeah, you think the guys full of crap this sound is reflected in the face bag post yet He sounded kind of drunk too You know now is it possible? That he had this kind of me felt threatened which is possible

14:59 didn't feel comfortable and he came up with kind of this story and then you just I'll just post this. How does this happen? Pastor, an NAACP president! This brings the organization into question certainly in the North Carolina chapter. Was that North Carolina or South Carolina? Might have been South let me see yeah I think the guy said so I think the cops are South Carolina. You're right South Carolina How does this happen? And you think perhaps the guy's just delusional and he actually believes it. No, I think that this happens...that this is the nature of The Soch Nets This is what you do You lie about everything Whether-you either lie about how great your life is and awesome your food how much you love your fur babies or you show that you're a true victim There's almost no in between

15:52 Did we play that clip about the addiction? I think we did. The addiction to Facebook... Well, we have several of them actually! Well the more recent one where the guy says he had to produce a lie He felt that it was important and made his life look better than it was And said the whole thing was bull crap Yeah, I don't remember which clip Yes, we did play that but I don't remember which clip goes on and on about this Maybe there's some element That may be an element You know people who are See themselves even though it's not necessarily true But they see themselves as losers because they have this standard to uphold of other people that are on Facebook Showing their wonderful life, and then you even had that with that series of which we haven't talked about but this was years ago I know it floated around a series of douchebags on Facebook. Whatever It was called and there's all these

16:45 kids with you know just too much bullying. Oh no, that's the rich kids of Instagram which is also facebag honestly yeah we're rich kids of Instagram right and there's just all douchebags you know and it was just ridiculous and so people have these different standards I don't know, maybe that's all it is. This is a pet peeve of yours for years about the selfie and you can't... You have to take 1,000 pictures to get the one just right. Especially if you're in the picture with women because they all have to zoom in check make sure mm-hmm Is my arm fat? Okay alright yeah good All of that And it results in this

17:25 A study by Blue Cross Blue Shield has found that the number of Americans diagnosed with severe depression has jumped by 33% from 2013 to 2016. The study found that depression was likely linked to other issues that the patient was dealing with, as 85 percent of people diagnosed were also suffering from another chronic condition there were more alarming findings Such diagnoses in adolescents rose 63% and in Millennials 47%. Physicians noted that the increasing use of electronics and social media may be playing a role. You think? There you go, depression on the rise up 33%, magic number must be true! Interesting I did receive it a nice note from a millennial producer Nikhil

18:16 Hey, guys great show. I wanted to share my experience with social media screen addiction... ...I'm a 22 year old slave in Gitmo Nation and I recently had two things happen that made me realize how bad social media is for us. I stopped using my iPhone in favor of a cheap flip phone and my laptop died. I've noticed withdrawal symptoms not unlike those of the use of benzodiazepines Xanax, Clonopin both which I have abused in the past 22 and quite similar of that of large quantities of THC is really helpful to me And I'd recommend it to anyone who has struggled with mental health issues It's quite likely. I was substituting online communication with the real thing Life-saving tips here on the no agenda show life saving save another kid saved another one now, that's beautiful You know

19:11 Yeah, if we've learned that it's very important or your longevity or you will live longer if you have more social interaction integration with people in real life. So talking to the guy who gives your coffee smiling at someone on the street holding a door open whatever it is But yesterday on the way to the spin class and back, it occurred to me that people are not only substituting social networks for this type of life-saving interaction. But when they're out among other people they're still carrying and holding and looking at their phones! Yeah, they have the phone in hand as they walk down the street. Which to me just you know ever since we made that observation although I think were not the first... No That they're holding the phone

19:56 Instead of having in their purse or someplace, they're actually literally holding on to it for dear life all the time. And juggling bags? Looking at it constantly and juggling it. Well they've worked out this way to...and also you need that if your real pro, if your really addicted then have one those knobs on the back so you can Slip your fingers past that so you have a good grip on oh, yeah what nobody has that would you say I've never seen. Oh my god these things are rampant I've never seen well okay Go to the mall And they got hand straps, yeah it's like a little knob on the... I think we should get another product idea. Alright here we go! Product idea, product idea So um We should have some sort of a uh It should be The phone should be on a tether That has kind of a spring loaded tether so then if you drop the phone immediately sucks back

20:53 Like keys? Yeah, like on a key thing. If you drop it, boing-oing flips right back. It comes right back and then when you're fumbling because you have to carry it all the time so you can hold in your hand and then you gotta move, dig around your person that actually let it go I think there's a better product which I've been thinking about I think we need the Bob Dylan harmonica neck brace. You need to change that so you can hang that over your head and just glance down, and see exactly what's coming in on the Sochmeds. Now something like that maybe? I like my... I think my uh... I think the... Tether! I like a tether. Okay. That is good

21:42 I will say that as a part of my OTG experience, um...I have removed the talking tube from Amazon from the home and replaced it with the open source Mycroft. Mycroft? Yes! Mycroft The brother of Sherlock Holmes That's what he apparently the box is named after And the Mycroft is an open-source you can download it and run it on your if you have a Linux box You can run it on that But just goes straight to CIA No, it's actually self-contained. It's within your own control Uh huh Yeah I mean yes it is open source so this has been looked at and... Anyway I've had a lot of fun I'm agreeing with you Oh sounds like you're mocking me maybe just a little So and I set out to get it do all the things that I had the talking tube do which was weather shopping list

22:41 And how old is a celebrity? That's pretty much all we ever use it for. It's fun to look at what they call AI, because it works the same as these talking tubes. It's all about utterances and what it can pick up and you have to put in all these vocabulary trigger words alternates instead of add to the shopping list put on my shopping lists. I mean its...it's all skip logic there's no intelligence in this whatsoever Yeah, there's no intelligence in any of them. No no exactly but just monitoring you But it's well this this one monitors thing device This one monitors only what I wanted to monitor and doesn't send anything if I don't want it to send anything It doesn't so what are you using for the for the? You know Polk audio has a box that was just at this event and

23:34 Talking to Polk audio people and they had a they have a thing guess if it's I guess you can turn it into any one of these boxes. I don't know if it would work with that might very nice little speaker microphone array yeah, that so this one actually so it's a raspberry pie it comes in an enclosure and And of course the thing they don't have is the fantastic microphone array. It's okay and it works, but not great. Yeah I think why hasn't anybody...I'm just gonna ask Why hasn't anybody hacked? Yes well i looked into that! Why haven't they hacked Alexa?

24:10 Yeah, act it out and or you just take Alexa tear it apart and hack out Just pull out the microphone array and use it elsewhere because a microphone arrays of that Sort very advanced technology. Very cool Apparently the the echo the Amazon talking to runs on its own operating system No, and I was looking around for it for a couple reasons. I also Found out what the nest does holy crap that thing's the next to go The Nest thermostat, when you walk by it, it turns on. The display comes on so it has a sensor and knows that you're walking by it therefore it knows your home All this information is sent back to Google who purchased the company couple years ago There's tons of information they are sending

25:02 Yeah, they needed to send the criminal syndicates so they can... Yes. You're not home? He's not home! Let's go get him!" And then the final thing that came in since last show is this everybody was talking about all there's this location sharing company and everybody's location is commercially available Did you see any of this it wasn't The New York Times everybody was writing about I saw none of it So the name of the company is let me see Must have it here somewhere Like location secure OS or something and they have a little web form and you fill out the web form with your phone number They send you a text message You reply to the text message with yes, you know It's okay to track me for this test only and then

25:51 the web page that you were on changes and says, okay here's where this phone is located. And many people have said right down to their front door almost and the claim is that this company is getting this data from the phones themselves through the carriers that it's available commercially and things like your GPS chip and other processing information is handing off your location data continuously and therefore it somehow is available. The great thing is I tried with the Nokia E71 both times cannot locate this phone so either its because there's no spy chips in this particular phone... There are probably no spy chips in the phone those are recent or they could also be that I had to do the web form on a different device

26:47 And so maybe it tries to correlate the two because I'm very wary of that. That's pretty advanced, i don't think so Anyway... I doubt there is a- Right now I could say the same thing about my phone though Well you should try it! You should try that form It's in the show notes, you should try that after the show I can try the form but then again The phone of course is In its usual situation off and in a cabinet where I keep it Yeah, in a Faraday cabinet No? I don't need it well I mean you could but I don't believe it's being remotely turned on. Although, like anyone worried about that... Yes you can put a piece of aluminum foil over it but you really needn't a Faraday or anything because I tested the aluminum foil after I wore the hat for awhile and it seems to work

27:38 And by the way, for all you Apple users if you really think they're going to turn your phone on and off automatically just take the battery out. Always a winner this joke! Anyway I was very happy like okay this is another benefit of this phone no tracking at least not through this third party And then it kind of hit me that, you know a lot of people who believe and if it's not happening I'm sure it is somewhere and will be in the future. You know that your phone is listening to you People so many stories are people saying I was talking with someone about dog toys now they got all these ads for dog toys My kid... I don't believe this part of this This part of it I give up on I'll tell you why mm-hmm? I have had more people especially the last few months but dialed me

28:28 and I listen in. Right? Yeah, I know it's a butt dial because I can hear the mumbling and grumbling going on in the background and the guy is oblivious sometimes I'll yell into the phone, I'll yell but no nothing because you know its on the pocket, its on the desk...I don't where the phone is! I have never been able to hear conversation that's intelligible It's impossible Right, well there are... we've been through this. So this idea that the poll is listing to you- Hold on John I'm just gonna push back again like i did the last time you said this The GSM cell quality is very different from a high end digital transmission over data A very different quality! I'm not saying that's what happening but it's factually different You'll agree with me on that?

29:19 I am going to blame this on the little microphone. The iPhone has five mics, there's a lot more technology in these things than you realize but... I would like to see it, I'll be a believer not after the hypothetical argument I'll be a believer in somebody shows me this concept in action. Well, I don't think that's actually... And understand the word of what anyone is saying? I don't think that's actually where they're getting it from. I'm thinking this now especially Google spent so much time mapping out the remember everything is about location with these fuckers

30:00 Yeah, the Google Earth was one of their main products early on. Are they sitting there? Are they literally fuckers? Yeah they are little fuckers yes they are sorry I and you know remember when they they were doing the maps driving around all by the way. We're also collecting all your Wi-Fi names Do that yeah? Oh, that was just a mistake now it wasn't they still do it as far as I can tell I'm sure they think this gotten worse to The point where if you want to use Google Maps Which I did a whole column about how you sign your life away in that call very little play but no people don't care But anyway, you sign your life away when you use Google Maps. Literally sign your life away and all the stuff now... You've given away these... If you use the product they demand that you turn on the Wi-Fi thing. It's like well we can't do the job unless you get the whole thing turned on and we get all of your information. Yeah yeah oh yeah! And if you don't agree to the terms no maps for you. Correct

31:01 I've been using, I don't know maps. Actually look at the map it's easier but... That is very good way to get the lay of the land is to have an actual street map But here's what's happening and after I read a story about a father whose son wanted a he wanted one those adult those fan wings ah what do you call it You know, you strap the big fan on your back and you've got a para... paramotor. There it is! So it's a paraglider with a motor and the kid's like I really want this. He's 12 years old or whatever And then all of sudden YouTube videos start to show up suggesting paramotoring

31:43 And he's like, hold on a second. Of course he had never looked at that to how does this happen? And he came up with the whole man was like contact list that could be it but I think proximity is what its at as where its at if there are two people who are identified as being in the same place I think thats when they start to merge interests And, you know so maybe the kid also got some videos his dad was watching he might not have noticed and probably goes unnoticed a large percentage of the time. But if someone's looking at certain types of content and then they're in close proximity for X amount of time to someone else then give them some of that content! They may be interested or they may have just talked about that and it would be interesting to see what happens when it shows up I think they're doing it with location proximity

32:38 Well, we have to come to one of two conclusions here because I'm hearing a contradiction. Of our basic thesis which is that they keep advertising to us stuff that we already bought. Ah different algo, different algo And they're completely idiots, and now they're the most advanced mechanism ever seen by man No no stop! I don't think thats advanced at all How is that advanced? You have the location, continuous real-time location data from everybody except for me. It's pretty advanced to have that information and be able to use it for anything Yeah but as I started off they've had this for decades This is where this is the core of their company And so now all they have to do is say hey these guys are in the same room maybe we should share some content They're looking at I don't think that's incredibly advanced I think it is Wow

33:28 Well, someone's gonna write in and they'll know if it's happening or not. I don't think it's happening And this was a while ago...I got a suggested friend of someone who I've never even communicated with digitally but they were in my proximity several times So how do they know? And this person has no relationship to me No family, no other friends It was definitely not a friend-related thing They just walked by him No, we were in proximity several times. Probably the same spin class! Alright you're not taking me seriously? You think it's very advanced? I mean i'm taking you very seriously and I think your experiments with the OTG off-the-grid mechanism is definitely part of the show now but it's a little bit much for me like I said I've heard these people

34:26 Maybe I'm... I think it's more believable than we heard what you said. I'm with you on that, much more-I mean I see how lame the recognition really is although Google is sometimes impressive but let's get back to those microphone arrays that are used in the Alexa box yeah talking about Is anybody out there just torn this box apart and stolen those mics? I think that could be cost of Those mics... I wouldn't steal it. I'd use the box and put my own stuff in there! Well, maybe if you could? People- There's all kinds of thousand dollar reward if you can hack the box It's not floating around Oh, you mean where you change the name? I saw that No, not change the name You've already done that Yes it is. No, no The thousand dollar reward I have this story right here Is if you can change the name Oh well, you've already done that haven't you? I know yes Why don't you go collect your money Anyway, the point is I'm talking about

35:26 I think a better system, maybe some better speakers. I think they sound tinny, I don't care what anybody thinks but it's those microphones. A microphone array costs thousands of dollars if you go try to buy one. They're very high tech especially if you can get them and getting them to work is another thing. Some recordists will use them for very advanced recording techniques and they're very expensive now I don't know what, maybe these just cheap little electric condensers which would be my guess. It's set up in an array with some software that makes it work so we can hear everything

36:04 Still, you can't... it's not the kind of thing that is for sale. Is there a little box that you put together from scratch? Have a microphone array in it like that or just one dumb mic? One dumb mic. Yeah yeah of course I mean also no of course it doesn't have that and I would love to have a microphone array on it Now that I control it now that is another does what? Yes, and the nest is next and then I think we're pretty clear here although. I'm not so sure about my TV I got to check that thing too now Because I can at ya this and so with all of this going down Facebook has come out in the past week talking about fake accounts They've been deleting, and I've always questioned their numbers And it's just it's like one of those things we don't even question anymore It's so embedded Facebook has two billion people. It was only a billion a couple years ago But okay two billion people yet

37:02 They deleted 1.3 billion fake accounts in the last six months So does that mean they deleted half their user base? Does it mean they miscounted their user base or is are they so good that they've actually 3.3 billion users and they had always discounted the one point three billion fake accounts I mean someone has to ask the question, and we'd like to have an answer How many users do they have? But where's Wall Street on this if I was investing in this, hey hold on a second. They have the revenue per user, the ARPUs that what they live on yet you're deleting hundreds of millions of accounts so what is it?

37:54 I'm just surprised that everyone cares. Everyone does know some business the money's rolling But where is the press earnings? Where's the media? So, where's the media? Where are people asking these questions well we are I think actually Twitter is a little bullish on Twitter Why well they're doing they have the right idea there executing it very poorly They just announced a big change in their API and which changes... I've always said that their API is what they should be charging money for, but okay. They've decided there will now be two tiers You'll have the free tier which you can use for your app but likes and favorites or retweets quoted tweets will be delayed up to about 2 minutes before those come through on the API Which i guess it's just horrific for people

38:50 Oh, I don't know if i'm liked yet. I have to wait two minutes and if you want to buy access To the full streaming api it will be for a if you have an uh An app that has up to 250 accounts You can have access to the api for 2 899 per month That's not a bad deal Well, it is if you're Twitterific or TweetDeck or any of these types of companies. No it's for them I'm saying for a marketing guy Yes! And I think its actually very smart they should have done this long time ago They need to have different price structure in place Something else going on too because they apparently

39:37 The Library of Congress gave up, you know the project. Oh we're gonna get when I'm archive all this stuff. They said that we can't do it It's too much work! Too much work is too much crap and there's just no we're not doing it So I guess that whole project product project is dead Yeah, the only thing that is officially archived as far as we know is this show in the Royal Dutch Archives. Yes and I want to remind people of that because we tried try to use it as leverage to get people you know your everyone who said call out to their mom is now forever archived for all right through all of history the annals of time some a thousand years from now your mother will be remembered yes It was a good place those guys archives don't go away. No they don't

40:24 It's like those old giant books and they're always doing these, you know history investigators or whatever it is on PBS. They dig around and they go into Leeds some old town in England then they go into the archives there are big giant books that huge and they flip them open and oh! In 1410 here's where Dorothy married Jim. You know? And it goes on and on yeah that's what you're getting with The No Agenda Show yep and you get life-saving tips such as how to not go stir crazy from being continuously pinged by your phone. There was a story in the Wall Street Journal about some... I just get the bit, you know going back to the woman or the women or the men too but mostly when walking around with their phone in their hand and then they check it every so what are they checking it for? For dopamine hits! It's an addiction is for dopamine hit that's what its for there is no reason

41:23 It's been so nice, although I walk outside and I'm looking at everybody and no one is looking back because they're all hunched over. They're all bent down. So you can't do your hello? How are you doing? No! Some of them... people say- I want to do a video. I'll walk out my building and I'll do a video because there are always people on the benches. Before we do the video have you ever thought slowly moving toward them, then kind of all you see they're completely distracting. You jump in front of him and he just looks like you're walking and then they plow India have you done that? I've considered it. I've done it a number of times but you can get away with it. Yeah me the pick a fight today thank God he had some quarters in his pocket kick that Curry's ass was like boss at some company what is it

42:13 I don't know what company it is, but he did his internal surveys. Big story on it that the time people spend on their phone during the workday is an average of two hours and 25 minutes think about that 2 hours in 25 minutes That's a lot. That's a lot were you do a video? What was the video I'm gonna walk out the building and i'll show all of the women walking around with the phones with the knobs on the phones layout it's me and by the way, it's mainly women when is missing to be a lot more susceptible to this. I'm not sure why? I have not seen any research on that well there should be some research on it they had needs to be studied

42:58 I'm always irked by the lack of research. You had all these sociology departments all over the country and all these colleges, and they don't do the work that they should be doing. Right? I mean come on people! Instead we have Silicon Valley doing things like this...I got a note from Zee one of our producers. His sister was taking notes in Microsoft Word while at work she noticed the red underline indicating a misspelled word different from the green underline for grammar mistakes When she right-clicked the word, the word was maternity as a part of maternity leave. Microsoft Word suggested she use more gender neutral language such as parental leave family leave child care leave So this is now creeping into the software that wasn't that couldn't have been with a red line I have a picture of it right here either It's a red dotted line

43:55 A red dotted line, not a red underline. It's underlined it's read underlined but it's dashes I would say little short dashes so that seems to be the behavior... I use word all the time and I've never seen anything like this is some other add-in this is not this is not no Hmm. Do you think maybe she got some kind of macro or something because it seems to be coming from the dictionary Right click some I have no idea like this you can you forward me that letter? I want to follow up on this yeah, or tell them for me if it's true well hold on a second reminds me my old PC world Story which I've told on the show at least twice

44:34 Oh, somebody's calling. Well you're looking at a stall where I can hang up the phone. Okay i'm opening up Microsoft Word as part of the Office 365 suite Let me see now... I'm going to open up a blank document and we should We should tell them to go on maternity leave And let me see.. I have no spelling errors Hmm why is that? Because there's no spelling errors. All right, well that's very interesting I don't know why it doesn't show up that way for me you're right It won't show up for anybody. I don't know what what's going on there Well, so I'd like she's got a screenshot So all right, I will forward you this follow-up one Yeah, I wonder it might have been something might have been you might have been some kind of plug in Has to be something but we'll find out if that's true. I mean that's pretty spectacular

45:38 Unless you're just being bullshitted Possibly, but it's a actual shot of the screen so it's not a screenshot screenshot. No I can use Photoshop too Why okay all right sure? I know why would you do It doesn't make any sense let's just have a bone to pick with politically correct language Yeah And this is an example Let me you could I could see somebody they sell too much work But it was one of our producers sister So that's why put some weight on it Give them listen to the show. I know I don't think so all right onto the news We have news Yeah, we got Stormy's lawyer Stormy stories but let's do the North Korea stuff because that's the most interesting to me yeah it's coming up

46:33 Now I have two different clips. I've got a clip, a follow-up and then I have a point to make which is not being discussed in these clips and I'm asking the question of you, why do you think that is? Let's start with the ABC North Korea begs off report. President dealing with something else North Korea will the summit take place after all tonight here the first standoff before the summit North Korea now threatening to cancel the talks today slamming the US for what it calls one-sided demands to give up its nuclear weapons The president was asked today whether the summit is still on and ABC's chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl with how he answered if President Trump is rattled by the latest threats from North Korea. He's not showing it We'll see what happens

47:24 Time will tell. Earlier, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said the latest move by North Korea came as no surprise. This is something that we fully expected But the change in tone is dramatic from the all smiles meetings between Kim Jong-un and the Secretary of State to an angry statement by North Korea's chief negotiator saying he is totally disappointed by the extremely unjust recent comments by US officials He singled out the American demand that North Korea give up all its nuclear weapons before getting anything in return. We want to see the denuclearization process so completely underway that it's irreversible. North Korea now says such talk could scuttle the summit

48:09 If the US is trying to drive us into a corner to force our unilateral nuclear abandonment, we will no longer be interested in such dialogue. The North Koreans seem particularly upset by National Security Advisor John Bolton who called on them to do what Libya did more than a decade ago We have very much in mind the Libya model from 2003-2004 The Libya model? After Libya gave up its nuclear program, Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown and murdered on the streets. North Korea once called Bolton human scum today they add quote we do not hide our feelings of repugnance towards him They may also be aware of the political stakes for President Trump who is mused about winning a Nobel Prize That's very nice thank you

49:01 That's where it is. Nobel! I just want to get the job done. Now, that's not Trump musing about winning the Nobel. It sounds like he's sitting there going, let me drink some more sherry and think about the Nobel Prize. But it's the crowd chanting, Nobel, Nobel Which is not presented that way by the reporter. Which I'm pretty sure was sparked by the M5M media to start with? I think it was, and here's how it went... Oh my god you don't think that a-hole with an orange clown will win a Nobel Peace Prize?!

49:44 Now, there's a follow-up to this which is the story continues as ABC North Korea begs off report two. This is kind of how the report ends and it almost is anticlimactic because what it tells me is that they're making the story more dramatic than it needs to be if what they're now going to say is true So let's get to John Carl. He is live at the briefing room there inside the White House tonight and, John, the summit now less than a month away bottom line tonight for folks at home does the White House think this summit is going to happen? Well, the planning for the summit continues and as you have seen with the muted response from the White House to the latest from North Korea they don't want to do anything to throw it off so for now David at least it is all systems go Alright John Carl there are the White House John thanks as always next night What was that?!

50:35 All systems go anyway. Yeah, I mean it's as though that this is just a story that the media is creating and of course they are targeting Bolton which is I think a positive thing the guy's a jerk Well the first time I saw this story I immediately thought ah we have a full three weeks maybe even a little more before the meeting We got to keep it on the radar because its ratings you just keep some tension It could have been launched by any of the negotiating parties but more likely launched by the media itself That's kind of what I'm guessing, but the media is not covering it accurately. There is some issue and came from The Economist because they have their newsletter and on May 16th Wednesday they sent out a bulletin and I was going to read this today and then I want to play the next clip from NBC and I wanted you to try to find me in this report which was yesterday

51:29 or this was Friday, so this is like two days later. Find any mention of what I'm about to read to you. North Korea announced today that it was canceling high-level talks with the South. It also threatened to pull out a summit with America. The reasons it cited... By the way they're canceling both the talks which are the ones for the peace agreement and the meeting. The reasons it cited were long scheduled military exercises between America and South Korea Yeah, are we doing that America's insistence that it must unilaterally force where now the argument is well We've already talked about that. We're gonna still do these exercises But what did North Korean says yeah you were gonna do them but now you bring in all this stealth bombers And and you're gonna practice a decapitation Exercise oh

52:19 Well, that's not very nice. That's not very neighborly of us No Not very neighborly at all and I don't even know if Trump knows this is going on But meanwhile they're not gonna even mention this on the mainstream media And I think that it was a mistake that The Economist pushed it out there because I don't think they want us to know this so let's play the NBC version of the story which has no mention of this any of this and Tonight, after weeks of hype there are new doubts over whether that face-to-face meeting between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will even happen at all. The North Koreans are balking over demands about their nuclear weapons program. President Trump is not backing down NBC's Peter Alexander now has the latest Thank you very much. Tonight the summit standoff president Trump for the first time addressing North Korea's threats

53:10 call off next month's historic meeting with Kim Jong-un. We'll have to see. We haven't seen anything, we haven't heard anything... We will see what happens The president standing by his demand that a deal include North Korea get rid of its nuclear weapons but today one of Kim Jong Un top deputies is framing that as a non starter Warning, we are no longer interested in a negotiation that will be all about driving us into a corner and making a one-sided demand. The North now taking aim at National Security Advisor John Bolton, blasting him as repugnant seizing on these recent comments We have very much in mind the Libya model from 2003 2004

53:53 Fulton citing Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi's agreement to shut down its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. But years later, Gaddafi was deposed and killed. The White House today downplaying Fulton's comments. This is the President Trump model. He is going to run this the way he sees fit. We're 100% confident. North Korea's defiant stance is sharp reversal from recent conciliatory steps, including the release of three U.S prisoners last week but experts warn Kim Jong-un's gamesmanship looking for maximum leverage is nothing new The North Koreans are very good at surprising us But if we had any sense of history, we would have understand that this is a page from their playbook

54:34 Also tonight, as President Trump gears up for that scheduled summit. Ousted Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is delivering an apparent swipe at the president warning that the U.S. is experiencing in his words a growing crisis in ethics and integrity If our leaders seek to conceal the truth or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom. Those remarks part of the commencement address at a military college where Tillerson never mentioned the president by name. Now first of all pushing these two stories into each other

55:16 was chicken shit, which is typical NBC stuff because they didn't have anything bad to say. They don't mention the fact that they're still going kind of ahead as scheduled even though it's kind of pushed at the beginning of that story but they bring in a guy who says oh this is nothing new, its their North Korean playbook even though we're the one driving them into this playbook- It's our playbook more than it is theirs seems to me And then they call it a summit standoff, adding some sort of drama to it. The Chiron guys had little time because they'd done all the Stormy Daniels stuff for Chiron so they needed a new slogan and its the Summit Stand-Off! Good work Chiron Department

55:58 And then we have this Bolton character who shouldn't even be in that job. He's got to be in there, he's gotta be in there to get kicked out or something! Well he's gonna get kicked out but he's a stooge for the neocons and he drops his little gem in there We all knew that it was...and I hate to use the word but I'm going to start using it..we knew it was a dog whistle This idea of oh yeah just like what you did with Libya And Libya was the biggest double-cross that West has ever pulled on any of these countries. You know, suckering Qaddafi being his best buddy and then all of a sudden just brutalizing him in the streets, murdering him... So I mean that is the land of unconfirmed... Yes we came! We saw! He died! We killed him! Good work Huma

56:52 So there was, so this is really a...this is uh..there's something up here with this whole story and they're doing the neocons in particular. And I think and obviously the industrial military-industrial complex does not want this to happen now we're seeing evidence of it going to kill sales of armaments. Yes! And I'm pretty sure that more I listen to you and those clips this is obviously the media making this tension, you know not dissimilar to what have we seen. Oh yes the poll numbers with Democrats are not as far ahead as they thought keep watching for updates! You know it's just it's all the same and so Kim Jong-un his press department gave one statement

57:37 And quite honestly, the way Trump started off by saying and if I don't like what else see all walk from a table. So the guy said well if we don't like it We're gonna walk from the table more or less It's kind of the same thing. We're not gonna they don't give us what we want where to of course so this is a cockfight big deal but What I'm looking for is are we seeing elements from The intelligence community or from the Pentagon who are actively undermining with this same with the same message I have not seen that yet, then we'll know you would expect them to want to do that They're the ones that don't really want this to happen so I would think they'd put their stooges in. I haven't seen him Really it's just a lot of people who just talk well It's become very annoying thing to be

58:32 eye-roller personally. Well not dissimilar and boy I think we nailed it with the opening of the embassy in Jerusalem you know, I was questioning why am i seeing the Palestinians on TV at the...in Gaza and fighting and burning tires for two weeks? And you never see it! It hasn't been on for a long time and then all sudden ramps up like oh yeah of course the Embassy's opening and yeah Every news report, every publication. The New York Times! Here's people dying? Here's Ivanka! Here's an old lady covered in dirt throwing rocks at heavily armed IDF and here's Jared and Ivanka I mean come on that was...I don't care who you do that to That was just mean Well let's not have two clips Okay

59:25 What you got? Well, first of all I've got a clip from some guy he was on CNN or MSNBC. This is the guy that can't remember this guy but he's just some black guy and he was uh there's the guy on Hamas again dog whistle CNN and they said there i just want to People to hear this has been floating around, this little guy. This guy's irked about the deaths and he blames it on Trump of course. It is important that foreign policy is generating uncertainty deep uncertainty right? That is cascading chaos... But here's the thing, let me be clear. The foreign policy is not what Congress members in the House and Senate are campaigning on right now they need campaigning on domestic issues where they have a stance so

1:00:06 So while Donald Trump is doing this and may look for a deflection, it's not necessarily going to help the midterms. All of that's important and all of those babies are dead. All those people are dead! They're dead! And we're talking about racehorses. I mean, the politics...I mean there are a lot of folks who are dead today! For what? I'm sorry this is me being a moralist i suppose No, I understand and in the White House today their response to that was it's Hamas' fault and they're using them as tools for propaganda That's like saying the children in the Childrens March at Birmingham It was their fault that Bull Connor attacked them Who? Who is this guy?

1:00:45 I don't know, i forgot his name. I didn't write it down. I made a mistake but its just this kind of false equivalency Bull Connor didn't kill a bunch of babies and how many babies were killed? These are the people that were attacking the border Were there babies there attacking the border?! I mean this whole thing is just like completely twisted. It's almost sickening to listen to these people now let's listen to Richard Engel who is a student for the intelligence community and when I hear this report, I would say that...I don't know if it's he worked for CIA or if he works I don't know who he works for. CIA is my suspicion based on his, you know when he was asked during that era if you remember when Feinstein was being spied upon by the agency when she was trying to do this torture report and she did torture report

1:01:36 And then they wanted to release it to the public, and then Richard Engel is one of the guys... No no you shouldn't do it. I actually paid attention to all the guys who said that they shouldn't do it those are all people that are on the payroll seems to me. It would be illegal according to The Cuomo Kid for you to read it. It's only for news people. So the point is if your a newsperson Why would you want to repress anything that is of interest, that can help you develop news stories? Why would you be against WikiLeaks if you're a news person. Why would you be against the release this if your are a news person? You'll recall they were all for WikiLeaks when Snowden was out there

1:02:16 And everyone thought it was great, but then when it started doing stuff that turned out to be favorable to Trump people started to hate WikiLeaks. That's what happened I remember how popular WikiLeaks was. But there are elements in play but now they totally hate WikiLeaks. Going back to the Feinstein documents why as a newsman would you say it shouldn't be released? Because he is probably in the document! Well, Engel is really... he's sitting there. He's getting gassed. He's pulling one of those I forgot the guy that used to be on CNN when Bush Sr was bombing Iraqis and he was at the roof and he's ducking bullets Oh yeah! And you had the helmet on? Yeah, he was ducking bullets They had a phony studio in the basement? Yeah Someone in the patrol room will know And uh.. he used to be The Rocket Jockey or something they have some nickname for him because he was a hunk

1:03:10 A hunk? He was a hunk. Geraldo? No, some other guy who's long gone Richard Arnett I know Richard Arnett... No it wasn't Peter Arnett. Yeah he's an old British guy Anyway this Engel is like being gas and he has to do the report and put on the gas mask and say his last word And then at the very end of this report He's visibly angry about the fact that the Palestinians are getting gassed and shot at. And I don't know what he wants for the alternative, does he want the Palestinians to invade Israel? I don't know what the alternative to this is!

1:03:54 But he's irked by the whole thing. Let's play this. In Gaza, angry funerals today after health officials say Israeli troops shot dead more than 60 Palestinian protesters including six children Monday when they tried to rush the Israeli border. Cameras catching them fall after

1:04:32 after being hit. And today in Gaza, Israel seemed determined not to repeat the bloodshed using an air campaign to keep protesters from ever reaching the border fence. Drones hovered above the protesters dropping small tear gas bombs two loads per drone flying nonstop you never knew when or where they dropped it. These protests are not letting up among Palestinians. There is now no conviction that President Trump is an arbiter for the peace process as far as they're concerned, the peace process

1:05:15 And without hope for a negotiated peace, extremists have a free hand to fuel Palestinian anger. The leader of Hamas which runs the Gaza Strip arrived unannounced at a main demonstration His militant supporters calling for rockets to fly toward Israel And while UN human rights officials are criticizing Israel for using lethal force against protesters, Israel and the Trump administration are blaming Hamas for sparking the latest round of violence. No country in this chamber would act with more restraint than Israel has That's not the feeling here in Gaza now They feel hopeless and ignored There is no talk of a peace process now Not even talk of peace Lester? Alright Richard Engle in Gaza Thank you

1:06:05 Hmm. Yeah, yeah I fixed the report for him too did you hear that fix a little bit? No sorry no I Fixed his report you know he had this bid here hand to fuel Palestinian anger somewhere in the leader of Hamas which runs the Gaza Strip arrived unannounced at a main demonstration His militant supporters calling for rockets to fly And while you end human rights officials... See, I fixed it. He could have done that! Why he didn't sweeten it? Now I'd asked a number of our producers living in Israel we had couple of nights there and sent some feedback about the media and how they've been out yeah oh no what is going on why why all this all of a sudden and I didn't get anything well I got different stuff from Sir Brian of London but Sir Jono elder of Zion

1:06:59 He says hey, okay. I'll answer your question. I like it best when you guys don't talk about Israel but Obviously anything I say on the subject is very biased. I am unapologetically a Zionist and supporter of my country I wouldn't have immigrated here from Australia and stayed 30 years if I wasn't I don't think we are perfect But I also think we are often unfairly maligned in the media I believe it was John C. Dvorak who once said something like this, and i think he was quite accurate quote the media is controlled by self-loathing Jews love you guys sir Jono that's the best I don't recall you actually saying that precisely like that but I lied I'll take credit for anything that's good yeah so that would be it then there's your answer we know everything

1:07:53 I think there's some truth to that. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C where the c stands for can i get an array Dvorak! And good morning to you Mr Adam Curry and good morning all ships of sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water name is knights out there. And in the morning to The Troll Room noagendastream.com I had a thought the other day do we have some people who upload the show to YouTube they'll take the recording Yeah, I think it would be if you're gonna do that anyway. Why don't you? Do a screen recording synchronized with the show of the troll room That's an idea. I mean I've seen it before It's not like is really hard to do just do a screen grab with that roll and buy You can actually see how much information comes from the troll room which is more than then people thing probably they're very helpful

1:08:48 I think that's a great idea. And of course it would be a good idea coming from you, you're the podfather! Yes disputed now at times, disputed but okay... Also want to say in the morning too Nick The Rat he brought us the artwork for episode 1033 the title that was Swagger And Nick knows us. He's been around for a long time with the show so he knows that on Mother's Day We just want to big heart that says mom in it, and he was right That's exactly what we wanted and it turned out beautiful very happy with it. Yeah, it stands out no agenda Yes No agenda art generator calm We appreciate all the work there are artists do and I'm telling you It makes a difference for this show if you use any type of well certainly

1:09:38 The new, well the iPhone app but I think Overcast does it as well. You see a whole bunch of shows and then all of sudden your eye falls on oh wait a minute that's different because it is a different piece of artwork unlike the rest which remains pretty static either throughout the show's lifetime or changed you know sporadically. I think it entices listening and I'm very grateful for it so noagendaartgenerator.com thank you! Artists It looks very slick when you go to the Roku no agenda. Yeah, yeah You got a channel there right is there's two things one that you can click on streaming and it'll blast the stream Or two you can click on this show and it shows the shows it has I think of archive about 12 shows And each one with the different arts very attractive as they come flopping up at ya mmm see the different art Oh yes, yeah on the roku interface that'll look good all check it out. They should oh

1:10:30 Looks cool. It's very well done. Yes, okay well let's thank a few people for being executive and associate executive producers of her show 1034 I believe that's number sir K Mac of Pennsylvania it 550 $550 or PA could be anything finally breaking my donation absence after the unbelievable bogo night episodes i had to sit through you don't have to sit through anything He got triggered by Eric's half-price rings, and I had to end my silence and unleash the fury within before air Name cancer karma before Aaron before a ring needs cancer karma Before Erin need cancer Karma okay the idea of knighthood is a special one oh No, I remember this

1:11:22 We went we actually emailed the guy twice. He has a complaint his complaint was he felt that our buy one get one off which was not entirely that but it was you know if you donated it would count double towards a knighthood on our 10th anniversary, he felt that that was a ripoff And we sold out. We sold out? I'm not quite sure to whom, as you pointed out... I just asked him the letters who we sold out and he said something back that had nothing to do with that question and then again, we sold out, we sold it to whom? He still hasn't responded to that which I know of but maybe did because I didn't hear it but I still don't know who we sold out too

1:12:01 Well, I think he just wanted to air his grievance. And if you send us a donation as an executive producer go for it! Yeah you can grieve all you want. Or grievance all you want. He also thinks we're splitting well over seven figures. Yeah, maybe in the next life. coupon cutters and stable boys who happened to scrape up enough change to turn in with his stamp book he's been filling out. This is very insulting to everybody who took part in the 10th anniversary celebration, I will say but we thank you for your $550. Yes!

1:16:12 My comment to your last segment on furry kids and urban millennials is pretty on point, but let's not forget that men are putting off children because they're putting off marriage. Rent here is high and budgets are tight not to mention the dating scene in the city by his bizarre and off limits to any man who dares not think he could declare himself a feminist. Wait a minute whose fault is it then? Is it the men? I don't believe it's a men's fault. They shouldn't have to declare themselves anything. No, except themselves Yes, I am myself You're not a feminist. I'm not gonna date you loser Is that is that an Android phone or at Apple phone? It's an Android. You're a loser. No No, I heard if if so At the one of the universities if you have if you don't have an iPhone People wonder if you're on welfare

1:17:10 Yeah, yeah. Loser is what I said, loser! If your text shows up in green instead of blue you're clearly a loser We talked about this about two years ago when the millennials in the house here mentioned that they can't get a date in San Francisco unless you show an iPhone at the bar. Yeah otherwise he ain't got no money Yeah. I think it's bogus, and I think it's probably true but I think is a bogus determinant. No, its very bogus but... As a determinant as the terrible thing It's materialistic and very shallow Didn't that start with Nike? When did the real rage over cheap items made in China overpriced with a brand logo when was it...? I think Nike is probably the progenitor of it sure

1:18:04 I mean the other thing, I always buy tennis shoes that are comfortable and fit well. Yes. It's different which tends to be Reeboks in my case. You've given up on the Speedos? No those...I don't wear Speedo uh... I wear Speedo Crocs. Yeah. Well no hold on a second. After 10 years I finally say Speedos instead of Crocs because whenever I would say Crocs you would say they're Speedos! Now I say Speedos and now you say, no they're Crocs. No, I said they're essentially... yeah well okay never mind

1:18:43 I don't wear those anymore. They went out of style. Yes, correct! I use them now to wear sketchers. Yes they went out of the...Sketchers! Okay. Common sense dictates that a smart man only has a child with the woman he marries and thanks to Tinder and whatever dating apps there aren't a lot There aren't a lot out here looking to settle down. With all of this uncertainty, it's only natural for...to forego baby making till you're 30s at the earliest Enter dog children. Also pay attention to Colorado's HB18-1011 just passed, and now marijuana companies can finally have ownership from entities based outside of the state! This is a huge...is huge and going to result in nice paydays for many in the industry that got it on the ground floor finally so how about some jobs coming from my Colorado MJ peeps?

1:19:43 No jingles needed. You got it! Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs Let's vote for jobs! You've got karma by the way the name you were looking for earlier was Arthur Kent also known as the scud stud Yeah, this guy's good. Yes.

1:21:35 I've got a couple of interesting little stories that reveal kind of maybe some changes in the way things are going to be, the way we're gonna be told things. Okay... We had a bombing in Southern California where they believe somebody who hated this woman who ran a studio wasn't like- What kinda studio? It was like an exercise place yoga studios. And so I got this... Now, wait a minute. Give me some background because this really didn't make the news here She was killed and about three other people were injured by a bomb Okay we don't know who did it? No they think it was their ex-boyfriend but they can't prove that so they don't know right now They'll figure out maybe But let's just listen to where the story is presented because I've got some stuff here that's kind of interesting So this is the bombing in Soquel kill people This is the first clip

1:22:28 Hold on, let me make sure I got the right one here. Alex thank you and tonight to the deadly explosion inside a building in Southern California authorities revealing a woman was killed by what appears to be a package that blew up. The chaotic scene the FBI on the scene again tonight a nearby daycare evacuated the children holding hands ABC's Kena Whitworth with what authorities revealed late today Tonight, authorities saying the deadly explosion that rocked a Southern California community killing a 40-year old woman was no accident. Sheriff's officials say it is possible Ildiko Krynak, the owner of the day spa may have been targeted. Investigators are still working to confirm whether or not this was an intentional act At this point our working theory is that this explosion was caused by a device An intentional act? Uh... yeah

1:23:23 Unless packages just blow up randomly. And this genius says we think it was caused by a device, which I find was kind of interesting in itself let's go to clip two. At this point our working theory is that this explosion was caused by a device sources say preliminary indicators are that the device was inside a package that was dropped off at the business. At this time we do not know how the device arrived at the location." The blast killing Krynak and injuring three others, 100 children evacuated from a daycare across the street babies wheeled to safety in their cribs

1:24:00 Okay, now that's another little clue. But let's play clip three and I want you to identify what has me very concerned. They do not believe there is a possibility of any other devices at this point? Right David so... They do not believe there is a possibility for any other devices at this point and she didn't answer it No I didn't, It wasn't important The answer was NO What's your concern? My concern is the sudden use of the word device instead of bomb. If you listen to this entire report, it was never a bomb with the word bomb was never used and it started with that package that blew up.

1:24:49 And then it became the device, a device. It was never a bomb. You compare that to the way they talk about rifles and just you have a rifle? No! It's not a rifle it's an assault weapon. Or how about even the bombs that exploded in Austin those were called bombs The word bomb is out. The word bomb in this entire report...it was a bomb The word bomb was never used once. In fact, the word device kind of underplays the destruction of it Yeah, a device is a dildo!

1:25:26 That's that's a toy John. That's not a device, that's a toy It is a device! There are a lot of devices out there I mean there are all kinds of devices The computer is a device A printer is a device Everything that has mechanical workings is a device To me a bomb is not a device it's a bomb Yeah yeah I give you complete points for that Good catch and when I was listening to it You already mentioned like eh well But now when they keep doing it... That is interesting The bomb is out Bomb is out, device is in. Why is that? It's all part of disarming the country You know this is why I don't want to just don't draw attention the fact that people can make bombs and they're a little more deadly Generally speaking because they're so random than an assault weapon Yeah yeah you're right you're right huh keep an eye out for that little twist I like that yeah it starts over with a package that blew up

1:26:22 Yeah package blew up. Oh, yeah they had to happens I'd a package blow up the you got the Trump rotation there in front of you the list I don't oh it's okay, but I have I have the new that altered that lists with the new one on it picked up an addition kind of an expansion of one of the The Trump rotation memes which was on NPR senator Mark Werner and was speaking, and I'm just going to let this play. It's about a minute and half and you'll hear it pop up when it happens and you'll hear how they're addressing this. Now the standard analysis of Putin's motivation is that he really couldn't stand Hillary Clinton. He saw Bill Clinton as the man who helped expand NATO And he saw Hillary Clinton as the Secretary of State encouraging anti-Putin, anti regime protests and so on

1:27:16 But what could possibly be the motivation to want to have Donald Trump president? By the way, I think that's a nice question finally from NPR. Say so well if this guy is so unhinged why did Putin want him to win? Master of chaos Russians... Ah! There you go. I talked right over it But what could possibly be the motivation to want to have Donald Trump president, the master of chaos? Russians are anti-chaos. He's not it's not just chaos John he is the master of chaos The master of chaos I will put we got chaos on the list I will put Master of in parents next to it. I think it's important because this may come back

1:28:04 Because the word this chaos is throughout this whole report, but it all comes from the master of chaos Which I guess it's just something he does naturally stir of chaos Russians are Russians are anti-chaos That's that's certainly characteristic of Putin anti-chaos Anti revolutionary why want Donald Trump as president United States? Well, I think there are some people that have made Guesses in that area, and I'm not gonna get into get into questions around finances or others as certain people this Asserted so his assertion is it's they've got the screws on him because of money. Yeah alright senator Warner But I would also orders the worst he's one of the real bad stooges and then you might be beholden to Russia I'm again there are our

1:28:53 press stories on those accounts, but again I'm not validating or invalidating anything until we're finished with the investigation. But there's obviously been press speculation. But the thing that might disagree with you on your premise is...I don't think the Russians were necessarily pro one party or another by any means They see that chaos in the West is good for Putin, both in terms of reasserting Russia's ascension and also pointing out to their own his own people. Look see how these democracies they're not really functioning that well And if you want America's democracy not functioned that well to bring in somebody with mr.. Trump's

1:29:34 You know unusual style and if you see the kind of chaos and dysfunction that's happened since that time I would argue if their goal was to further splinter America Pretty good investment on the ruble my goodness So Putin somehow knew the Trump would just cause chaos. So that's why he wanted him Okay The master of chaos. I like master of chaos, so here's Tucker on he's discussed...I got two Tucker clips i'm sorry for that but I do one of them he drops the ball completely on the topic but this one here is discussing the Russia assertions bases this little segment on the fact that The Daily Beast I believe

1:30:23 One of those online news magazines says that the Democrats never wanted to discuss Russia ever and so he thought he'd mock that. Richard Goodstein is a lawyer, he advised both of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaigns and he joins us tonight for what's going to be a tough conversation for him, I would say Richard because it is not really plausible to make the case that look you can argue that Russia hacked our elections as Democrats have argued for the last year. They are our main enemy in the world as they've also argued and maybe time will prove you right I doubt it, but maybe. You can't argue if you're a Democrat that what you really wanted to talk about was the issues. You didn't really want to talk about Russia. You just happened to talk about it nonstop for a year. Nobody's going to believe that because it's a lie! Well again... It's the intelligence community Tucker not them.

1:31:16 Yeah, well I dropped the ball on this clip because I should have had part one of the clip. You should have had the one with... I had it! I don't know why it's not here. With all the edited bits? Yeah, the edited bits that's what I clipped for somehow I screwed up to clip okay never mind Now let's go with this though. This is more interesting, this is Tucker dropping the ball on what I consider to be the most underreported story that any reporter could just have a ball with if they really wanted to do anything but nobody's doing anything and he doesn't even care! And on top of it, Russia, the Russia investigation, the key aspect of it, the Russia troll indictment

1:31:51 it's now being uh... turned into an opportunity for the russia intelligence operations to go into federal court and demand evidence from mister muller about what they have a russian telling his operations namely intervention in our elections but what a disaster for the rule of law and frankly the president has been victimized through all this because evidently there is nothing to justify investigation of him requiring justice department resources and authorities away that's been misused today put but i I thought, and quickly but correct me if i'm wrong the whole point of an independent counsel is to assure the rest of us that the investigation is on the level. That it's not tainted by potential conflicts given that why didn't Mueller try harder to at least seem bipartisan? Maybe hiring one registered Republican as an investigator he didn't bother to do that Isn't Mueller a Republican? Yeah well he might be but that's beside the point

1:32:48 He was handed this little story which nobody's picking, I mean a couple of talk show guys are talking about it. But the troll indictment it turns out and of course he didn't even hear this what the guy just said uh...I don't know if anybody did but The troll indictment, it turns out that the troll farmers decided to fight it. So they're coming over here and they're going to demand discovery? Are you sure... I have heard this and has been reported very slightly. They indicted a bunch of different groups and one of the groups is coming over. But it's not the Troll Factory, it's another one but doesn't matter. One of them are calling the Justice Department on it and they say well we need six months to get everything ready because they indicted without thinking that would ever show up

1:33:32 Exactly. They indicted without thinking anybody was going to show up or fight it, it was an indictment for show! He was, hey look at this we're indicting these Russians. Oh I guess they can't come over to fight the indictment we're just at the you know give them find him guilty but at the court level uh no they're coming over to fight it which means now the justice department and the and Mueller's group has to provide documentation so they're gonna just get discovery on these guys They don't have time for this No They don't want it But this is like a huge story because it's an amazing embarrassment for the whole operation, this whole Russia investigation. They're going to fight it! They're gonna come over and fight it! And Tucker just lets us slide right by!" Well he's busy man... He has other things to do! Too busy to talk about that! He was prepping for his Thursday night quiz with the other anchors

1:34:31 Every Thursday night he does like a pop quiz. Stupid, yeah hmm well I have heard this and i'm not sure where I heard it but they will be interesting because you're not playing it up nobody wants to get some hush-hush deal oh my god what do we do now how do we play this? We don't know let's go do a report on it that's like this other story although it was in Rolling Stone magazine This...I thought this was pretty outrageous So there was one of these Antifa rallies There was this guy who walloped some kid with a bike lock. You know, a U-shaped bike lock and he cracked his skull. Yeah, he cracked the skull. Oh turns out... Well the internet went to work 4chan it's you know really I guess they were able to do better than special victim units CSI or whatever but they were able to figure out who the guy was uh it turns out he's a professor

1:35:30 Hold on, let me see. Where is he from? What school is he from? He's from a Bay Area college professor named Eric Clanton Not just a professor, he's an ethics professor who taught philosophy and critical thinking at Diablo Valley College in the East Bay suburb of Pleasant Hill. That's who is out there cracking skulls as part of Antifa! Yeah, cracking-a-skull professor How about that? I think that's big news No it isn't, its local news and I never heard this story

1:36:09 Then I got picked up this clip from Rachel Maddow, which you know i'm watching MSNBC. And Rachel Maddow is pretty hard to watch It's very hard to watch. She never gets to her point, and she's always like everything is a tease and Everything is a long story And she's always so unctuous. She just creeps me out. She's in your face as that kind of creepy. She's creepy What is what is the definition of unctuous? I like the word let's look it up from reading from the thing from the thing Oh you mean The Book of Knowledge

1:36:47 Unctious how do you even spell it? You and CIO us unksh no unctuous you UNC on T or us I think okay anxious. I got it and nailed it, okay She's ingratiating and flattering she's obsequious Spawning she's spawning sir vialing all right sir vial oh Yeah, she's got this just creases creepy. So we describe it. She's gushing there It is gushing well that's what I think and I should use gushes gushes you know we got these guys oh, she's you know she's a Creeper Trump okay, so she had on professor Jed Sugarman and This story is it's a little hard to follow which is typical Rachel Maddow

1:37:50 The idea is that there was a deal done, and again to benefit the Trump empire. In this case Jared and they're going to explain how Qatar was roped into this scheme where Jared ultimately would wind up with hundreds of millions of dollars in loans that he needed for some real estate property But there was another company mentioned in here which really made my ears perk up and we should see if we can dissect what's going on here. Well, there are a lot of moving parts on this timeline and it's true Cutter keeps popping up at various weird moments along the story so let's start really briefly with The Steele Dossier Okay Which alleged

1:38:34 that there was going to be a plan to sell 19% of this giant oil company that Russia owned as a state oil company and to sell 19 percent and generate commissions to pay off the Trump people. Now, with the Trump people, the only time I've heard of this we actually laughed at it because it was alleged that Carter Page was going to get the commission from this 19% sale of Rosneft. So there's our point of reference is that we know this did come up in the Steele dossier, as in... This was what Carter Page was going to get I think before he even worked for the Trump campaign but now we find out according to this professor that it was intended for

1:39:28 Russians to give this money to everyone, to pay off everybody in the Trump campaign I suppose to lower the sanctions. Oil company and to sell 19% and generate commissions to pay off the Trump people as a quid pro quo for lifting sanctions so then jump to after the election December 2016 first of all you've got Kushner and Flynn trying to set up this secret line with the Kremlin on December 1st then December 7th this is the key event Cutter and another company called Glencore from Switzerland, they actually go ahead and buy 19.5% of that Russian company Rosneft I found this is why i was interested Glencore isn't that Mark Rich's old company before he kicked the bucket? That sounds like it was yes that's what I'm thinking too Which is a complete Clinton operation then

1:40:25 Yeah, totally Clinton. So now I'm thinking hold on any collusion There seems to be a plan that is connecting the dots and then one month later we get the Steele dossier that shows this plan was coming together. It turns out when that purchase was made, we didn't know it was Qatar it was only revealed later My speculation is that Qatar was in on this deal to be the intermediary between Russia and Trump They needed a way to get money into the Trump world But then once the dossier gets published in January, Qatar gets cold feet. Okay? Then when they start backing out there is a Gulf crisis with Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates and the reporting is allegedly Kushner tried to escalate that crisis That's April. Then you have this...

1:41:21 How does he do what kind of powers does he have to do that? It's like the Rubicon story. He went over there and went, I'm Jared Kushner! Now i'm going to make everybody pay for this! How come this guy can't draw the conclusion that if Glencore is involved in it was actually a Clinton operation?! Thank you. How come he can't do that how does all of a sudden Trump get associated with Mark Rich's Glencore. Well, it is very interesting that the FBI released I haven't read it yet a whole bunch of papers about Bill Clinton's pardoning of Mark Rich The minute this news breaks. I just thought that was coincidental and I don't know why all of a sudden the FBI does that Why do why all of a sudden? Do we have this information about Bill Clinton and his pardoning of mark rich of Glencore?

1:42:09 Could be related, I don't know. No, the reporting is real. The reporting was the reporting yes you're right I don't know what he's talking about here Allegedly So he's out of control He's unhinged! He is When they start backing out there is a gulf crisis with Saudi Arabia and with United Arab Emirates And the reporting is allegedly Kushner tried to escalate that crisis That's April

1:42:53 Then you have this, these Qatari officials trying to get back in the good graces with people like Bannon. And eventually several months later finally there's a $184 million loan that Cutter backed to give to Kushner So my speculation is that this deal was in place, Cutter plays an intermediary role in December then the dossier gets published they freak out And then ultimately when the screws are turned they then deliver a loan to Kushner. I mean, I thought I was crazy! Oh man that's off the hinges! That is wild... wild. And she's just sitting there with her

1:43:38 Unctuous self yeah gushing going. Oh, yeah Mm-hmm One look that's great reporting as always Sure But you know that's their truth you can't stay in the middle of it It's just it just it's not possible we've broken truth and that's what's happened here We have we've broken it broken true Yeah, somebody broke it. I don't think we did you know the Apparently the the guy who stole the CIA hacking tools oh yeah the tools actually It wasn't see was it that NSA's hacking tools? I don't remember whose tools they were and I think Don't remember so I'll look at them and see if I figure it out apparently a former CIA employee

1:44:32 I was now currently being held in Manhattan jail on unrelated charges. Gee, you know what happened to this guy? So they're accusing him... Of stealing the hacking tools and then all of a sudden he's in jail on charges of possessing receiving and transporting child pornography Yes, he had a server. Yeah a server filled with porn sure Here's that Washington Post headlines us identify suspect in major league of CIA Hacking tools hmm I thought it was only way hacking tool mmm-hmm okay now involved seven of wiki leaks yeah

1:45:09 Bolt 7 yes, that's it hmm. I thought that was NSA but anyway Everything I'm looking at a hole. I saw CIA the NSA is good to go no hacking tools are intact No there was a huge story in The New York Times about the NSA's hacking tools being stolen They've rejiggered this story so it's not CIA doesn't matter cuz the guy has kiddie porn It's all we need to know man you know you keep saying the White House is bugged Oh yeah. I gotta think you're really right about this, and there's the story about actually was in New York New York magazine Donald Trump and Sean Hannity like to talk before bedtime

1:45:53 And it's a whole typical New York magazine very long story about how Trump You know after he's done at 7. He goes up, you know separate room Melania is not even near him She sleeps in his separate bedroom and he calls Sean Hannity after show he gets up in the morning They know exactly what he's doing now exactly what he's saying This can't this is not just some leak I'm with you now. There's definitely something bugged. Oh, the whole place is bugged! Because this detail is pretty amazing. I'm not saying it's not true... By more than one agency that's the joke of it. It's probably two or three guys. A whole bunch of guys. Probably if they go looking for bugs and they find one then better keep looking This is a row of grey vans in front of The White House Pay no attention to us We're just hanging out here Hey what's this Wi-Fi FBI surveillance van? One of those again yeah

1:46:52 See I've got We did him. Oh, yeah This is back we've actually this took place yesterday New Hampshire senator Maggie Hassan says a vote on a measure to reinstate net neutrality rules could come as soon as Wednesday the regulations that required internet service providers to treat all web traffic equally will end in June after an FCC repeal Hassan met yesterday with New Hampshire-based organic yogurt maker Stonyfield Farm to hear concerns on how the end of net neutrality could affect small dairy farmers in the region. If farmers who are operating on pretty small margins now have to pay even more, to get the kind of speed on the internet that they need to be competitive this could really be debilitating for them

1:47:35 Heston says she's hearing from thousands of constituents who are in support of restoring net neutrality. I mean, I thought I heard all the examples and you got me on this one. Hold on a second! Restoring what? Think of the dairy farmers. Yeah think of the dairy farmers. Restoring what nothing has changed there was no net neutrality. No, they want to restore it. Oh okay! I'm all in on that. Yeah they should restore it because of the dairy farmers. What you're referring to is the fact that nothing was ever implemented and everything just hobbled along quite nicely thank you very much. Yeah there never... nothing was ever established. It was never established but I just loved the dairy farmers you know they're gonna get screwed over net neutrality because

1:48:21 function fast enough? I don't know. They can't maybe the cow milking machines are all internet based. The remote, you're done by remote! What are they doing?! It doesn't make any sense it's a stupid story Yeah but it's not just a story there's a representative in the story she's bringing it she's bringing the dairy farmers in oh don't worry I'm gonna save you we'll get net neutrality on track and you'll flourish yeah just an anti-Trump story Well, it is. So I have a couple of odd clips just play it well first of all let's get one news story out of the way which is the 500 million dollar Michigan State settlement wait a minute there's 334 women I believe involved so they're all gonna get over a million dollars at least and

1:49:15 And the story goes away. What do you think about this? Well, I'll play the whole story and then I'm going to still ask us this question what do you think it is about this story that has me perturbed? Massive settlement half-a-billion dollars for hundreds of young women many of them gymnasts who say they were targeted by a predator doctor a man they trusted to take care of him NBC's Anne Thompson has details on the new payout from Michigan State University I've had more nights than that. This is the pain. And I have experienced flashback nightmares of the abuse. The fury. Let her speak! Let her speak! That drove Michigan State University to reach a half-billion dollar settlement with 332 women who say they were sexually abused by Dr. Larry Nassar.

1:50:02 former employee. Nassar's victims overwhelmingly young female gymnasts like 15 year old Emma and Miller I'm just glad that MSU is finally starting to work With us and not against us for my sister survivors I'm just hoping that this will bring them some peace other women say they told the university about Nassar as far back as 21 years ago But nothing was done in the settlement. The survivors will split 425 million dollars individual payouts to be determined by a mediator the other 75 million set aside for victims

1:50:38 who have yet to come forward. MSU calling it responsible and equitable, adding they are working every day to prevent sexual misconduct but Rachel Denhollander the first woman to publicly accuse Nassar in a statement says she's deeply disappointed at the missed opportunity for meaningful reform at the University tonight contested lawsuits remain for the other groups Nassar worked with USA Gymnastics the US Olympic Committee and coaches Bella and Marta Caroli as does the pain money can't erase. And it's just a million dollars, they're getting a lot of money for their sexual work. That's one of the things I think there is an undercurrent... Well yeah, there is no other blowback against the school or to any of the people involved in this. Which is what one of the girls said and I think that's very important but what really kind of perturbs me just ignoring all the rest of it

1:51:48 This public institution, they have a half-a-billion dollars to throw away in one of these situations like this and they're always begging for money and asking oh you know we need the alumni to step up. And then this sort of thing happens and what always bothers me, this happens at the city level. This happens especially with taxpayer money. This happens when you have a corrupt police department and some guy is just a bad actor and then the city has to pay out $10 million dollars to some victim and the cop goes away and gets a job someplace else! Why don't they make him pay?

1:52:25 Yeah, it's the same with the rules in Congress. They still never work that out? Did they ever fix it so they have to pay themselves? No no there is still... yeah, the US taxpayer is stil paying when a congressman does some abhorrent thing that needs to be bought off you have to pay someone off we're paying for that why isn't the congressmen paying for it this whole thing just bugs me and I've Because I have this University of California over here and they're, you know, they keep building new buildings and new buildings and new buildings. They keep building and building a billion then and then it turns out that Janet Napolitano as we reported recently has 184 million dollars slush fund that can't be accounted for and there's nothing is still nothing to come from that. That's California! It's a whole other country

1:53:14 You live in some weird country. I might as well live in a banana republic with nothing but corrupt officials! I'm telling you man, did you... Well, I'm not gonna say it anymore Send them all here to Austin so you'll be safe and I'll have to leave Austin then Now the funny thing is that I keep saying this send them to Austin now Now that you mentioned this kind of fleeing from problem areas I want..I have an interpretation of a story that really didn't get much play on American media But the Rockefeller, David Rockefeller's family sold off the entire nearly a billion dollars worth of art.

1:53:54 in their Manhattan house compound. I don't know what you mean. Right, it was just one house right? It wasn't their entire collection of just one house Yeah well it was a big collection though. It was David's collection and it was a monster but let's play the clip now to tell you what I'm thinking This is the greatest Matisse to come to market in 50 years sold for over 80 million dollars And this Monet from the Impressionist Water Lily series brought in more than $84 million. To have on the same night records for two of the geniuses of painting, Matisse and Monet is something that I never imagined would happen. Through their fame and fortune David and Peggy Rockefeller amassed one of the greatest art collections and filled their family homes with rare treasures

1:54:42 plot was Picasso's masterpiece, Young Girl with a Flower Basket which hung for decades in the family's New York library. It fetched $115 million dollars other highlights included this early portrait of George Washington and furniture and precious porcelain including an ice cream bowl that belonged to Napoleon This high-profile sale attracted the biggest collectors and newcomers it showed the continued strength of the art market but also the enduring power of the Rockefeller name. Netta Telfiq, BBC News New York. Well okay I'm looking at this and iIm seeing that there's no reason to sell any of these pieces Money laundering? No they're getting in cash This is they could say see that they have different access to information we don't have Yeah They see a banking situation

1:55:39 Where cash is king? Mm-hmm and they get there take art is not And you know artism is a boom bust business. It goes up it goes down It goes out right now if you have art I'd sell it now unless You know, you're waiting for I was thinking of selling the No Agenda Art Generator for that very reason get some cash So this, unfortunately you don't own the art generator. No of course not! But we have it's just I'm just seeing this as in peers oh stay out of cash stay out of cash who's telling you that? The elites? Yeah CNBC. I'm saying the Rockefeller family this part of the family at least

1:56:19 dumping nearly a billion dollars worth of fantastic art, which if things keep going the way they're going should be worth twice as much in five years. Dumping it for cash. I'm just looking at that is kind of a signal to maybe rethink your and you remind me all the time because you keep telling me to sell my properties but there may be a time to start thinking about going You know, well do you think the property is in danger if the... No actually property really real estate. Real estate is like a fixed amount of it and I don't believe it has the same, you know,

1:57:00 Bitcoin or some stock. It's a physical thing is a physical thing is like gold, gold would be another positive when you say cash are they like actual physical cash or just cash? I'm thinking wow. They may put that into bonds and they may do something else with it obviously than I was just sitting on budget cash but maybe not but they're definitely getting out of art and going into what looks like cash so that's a big signal to the market It's a big single to me, I don't know but nobody else played this at all. You've got art? Yeah you do. Are you going to sell any of it? No! Of course not... But I have a couple pieces that i'm probably gonna sell and I guess some wine that I am gonna sell Oh man... But uh..it is not that much. Can't believe your gonna sell some wine before I tasted it. I got lot of wine to sell. I love that about you. He collects art

1:57:57 collects wine, wears Crocs. I mean you're just an amazing man! Yeah get the croc video! And why don't you stall for one second while i go get the note from Anonymous who should bring me to knighthood as well... oh wait I get that this well while you're getting me. Oh, you ready? You read this first one. I would get to know from the Okay guy all right the first one we have Is Zachary Stanko ah yes no yeah? Oh, no Zachary Stanko. I need the note hang on I have my I have my note too We both received a note and we got gifts from Zachary aha

1:58:51 Yep, he told me what explains a lot of it. Yes dear crackpot and buzzkill now Zachary by the way lives in Omaha Nebraska sent us $150 for the show and they said I got a nice care package The other day crackpot and buzzkill previously sent some Russian paraphernalia including in 1936 constitution some Soviet postage stamps at challenge coin plus a few other items Found some more random items. I thought would be fun to send to you too for Adam and I have received these and I love San Antonio pin Which is not something you wear in Austin, but I appreciate it state of Texas pin yep 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games pin a brief illustrated guide to understanding Islam which is I will be reading from this

1:59:36 It's a small, very fun book. And the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards Swag Bag Watch! Which is great because we never got any of the swag Oh, that's funny. Yeah you always say I had the same thing...I'll read my list in a second but when i was at PC Magazine and these other magazines and ZipFone they always had these swags that they gave to people but if you work there you never get anything That's like on the Facebag MTV alum group from time to time they go oh look! I found all these watches from the video musical! Oh look I've got this leather jacket over there And these are all interns

2:00:15 Yeah, they were only like jerk-offs in the studio and they've got all the cool stuff. That's ridiculous when he goes up for me He sent me a John F Kennedy pin a Hulk noise maker which I'll bring up and use as a show ring to class next time It's a cheapest junk you've ever seen Tenet healthcare Salvation Army coin it gets a corner Desert Storm coin Teen Vogue Hillary issue. How does that look? The Teen Vogue Hillary issue! It's very strange, it's not what you'd expect. Oh okay... Very strange. You got more gifts than I did. You got a lot more gifts. I've got better gifts I think. I've got a 64 UC Berkeley pamphlet, Populism Nostalgic or Progressive This is more than a pamphlet this is small publication and I have to read this so it'll be good for the book

2:01:03 Now the rest of this stuff is junk. This is a condom... He does mention he's got a shipping envelope for you to send the previously sent Baghdad airport challenge coin to me Yeah, yeah it says that I don't remember this point But I have all these coins, so if I see a Baghdad challenge coin, I'll send it to you. Yes! They're going to be worth cash one day So I think what we should do because of all these little things... This took a lot of work to package this. I was confused that he'd sent me your stuff

2:01:42 I'm glad you got a note. We up him to associate executive producer for this show Oh, okay good we will put them right there beautiful Thank you very much Zachary and thank you for the check This is fantastic!

2:02:43 Where's... we don't know either. And by the way, for people wondering what a challenge coin is... Why don't you explain it? Yeah this started I think really started in the military where your unit would have a coin and it's just a more prettier the coin looks the better and people would swap these out amongst themselves but The original mission, the original intent was after you were in your unit and you went away. You would keep this challenge coin and if you ever wound up in a bar with someone else from the unit or from the club or the group they could challenge you then you have to show your challenge coin whoever does not have their challenge coin has to buy the drinks that is the way I understand the original challenge coin And I think that is the way it's mostly purposed We've had many of them

2:03:30 Just we have being being no, we didn't sell but we had a bunch of people make them for Eric the shielded two Of them. We had crazy coins I don't I've had some of them.

2:10:20 And since we don't do much advertising it's always fun to see what's going on with the world. We don't do any advertising! What did I say? Much... Oh, none! I'm sorry. We advertise for ourselves The big upfronts are coming for the television networks and the upfront is where they try to do deals with big advertisers get them you know give them cut rate deals hey support the show so that can actually know if there's enough money to run the show And apparently all of the big networks are chopping their commercial time per hour, some up to 50%.

2:11:00 in order to keep quote Millennials watching because the geniuses at NBC and Fox and ABC and CBS have decided that the reason why Millennials are not watching is because they're watching everything on streaming services, and don't mind waiting a week until it pops up on Hulu or Amazon or Netflix. And I think this is a very significant development. It's not like they're going to up their prices by 50% I presume? I don't know, I find the whole thing baffling. Baffling?! Yeah! Why baffling? Well right from the get-go why do millennials not watch TV? Exactly! They should be doubling down. The only people who are watching TV are well over fifty

2:11:54 I think that's, except for the dwindling 1824 demo but it's gone. You've lost it and its interesting. Well you know these geniuses think they can do it. They think they can recapture it. Like we said on this show The reason old people watch network news is because network news has ads for old people. Yeah, it's compelling! So they've catered to old people because they want to sell these drugs and obviously they're charging top dollar for these ads They probably figure they can turn on a switch and make all the millennials suddenly want to watch the news, but I think they've let them slide for so long. You might be right. They've lost them maybe before... It's going to take a long time. There is an old rule of marketing that it is easier to keep a customer than to regain a lost customer or get a new one?

2:12:52 Well, no getting a new one is easier. It's easier to get a new customer or regain it or maintain the customer than regaining a lost customer you lose customers harder to get them back than anything else and they've lost this whole group and the thing is technological loss I mean when will they not see this? Or when will they see this? Its purely the technology that has overruled them. I mean its the same shows Yeah well they don't get that either but There seems to be some messaging going on that to this crowd and I want to play this clip because i've been carrying it for a while. This is the anti-college message that all of a sudden is showing up on NBC and this is an example High school junior Rayleigh Nicholson sounds like a natural for college A's in honors classes, high marks on college boards but the 17 year old says she's better suited for something else

2:13:48 A two-year technical program to become a diesel mechanic. People did try to push me towards the four year school and you said not for me. Rayleigh's passion is fixing old cars I like puzzles, I like figuring out where pieces fit and I like taking things apart and figuring out how they worked. While experts are now advising some students think hard if a four-year degree is right for them. Why? 40% of those who enroll fail to graduate in six years, 30 percent end up in jobs that don't require a bachelor's and 28 percent with a two year degree earn more than the average college graduate in jobs like computer programming and airplane mechanics

2:14:30 These are good jobs. About half of our labor market is jobs like this, mid-skill jobs and many of them pay quite well. Disappointed at first but Rayleigh's mother says she's not anymore. I'd rather have her do something that she enjoys that she won't get tired of and be happy with her life. Rayleigh Nicholson has a large degree of confidence. I want to go sit in the classroom for another four years I'd be out working. She's on the right track. Rahima Ellis, NBC News, Charleroi, Pennsylvania. Hmm... hmmm... On that very peculiar report Well just as a follow-up regarding the jobs ummm....I wanted to get crab cakes the other day and there were no crab cakes like what yo broseph! What up with your crab cakes? Says ah we won't have any until the end of next month at that the earliest like what

2:15:28 Because you know they make them at the supermarket and I've had them before, they're good. So why now we don't have a lot of crab really? And we also don't have certain nuts and certain fruits and berries. This is Whole Foods I'll point out. Say what's going on well because of the... Actually the way it came out was well because of Trump The H2B visas are being either slowed down or held up and they do not have enough workers to get these particular jobs done that somehow deliver crab cakes and nuts and berries. And I think there's even some striking going on, there is some unionized stuff in anyway it's... The bottom line we have to look into this, we need to know more but the bottom line is produce is not showing up because of immigration policy and I guess how jobs are distributed or what job people want to do Have you heard any of this?

2:16:30 No, no we got plenty of fruit and vegetables here. Well you guys live there that's where it all is! You want me to move out? No send me some nuts Katie Couric has a new show on NBC Oh really she upgraded her podcast well she had to I mean they've lost their superstars You know, they lost Matt. They gotta be careful what's going on there at NBC. They need some names and faces. They need some star power celebrities And she has this thing called... What is it? America Inside Out I think is the name of the show It's a long form

2:17:12 And she went to see what was going on with this concept of white privilege in colleges. An awful lot has changed since I graduated from college almost, gulp, 40 years ago There's a new vocabulary that wasn't around when i was younger Safe space Microaggression Trigger warning No platforming White privilege To better understand what that means... ...I came to Colombia to participate in something called A Privilege Walk So what I'm going to do is, I am going to read a series of statements and the statements will ask you either move forward or move backward if something applies to you. I should state that they are all standing side by side on a white line in an auditorium and they have to close their eyes while they do this And then any statement they agree with... They either walk forward one step if they agree Or if it's not them or they don't agree, step back

2:18:06 Please take one step forward if your parents told you could be anything you wanted to be. Take one step back if your ancestors were forced to come to the United States. You routinely see members of your religion, race, nationality, political polygamy, and your parents available. Think twice about calling the police when trouble happens And then I'm gonna ask you to open your eyes. You can look around the room now." And Katie Couric is up front, right up front! People are like 10 paces behind her. "...and i want you to think about how you're feeling right now..." Guilty... Guilty and lucky. Guilty AND lucky

2:18:49 It was really, and I love that montage of the questions. They just kind of mix it all together you know did your ancestors were they brought here involuntarily? Yeah so that's it there you go your white privileged work yeah there it is in a nutshell feel guilty. Katie Couric's the worst fire her immediately! Now people love Katie Couric Let's see, pick this up on the Jeopardy. Before and after 2000 Russian president who is an Irving Berlin song that says come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks Jake? Who is Vladimir Putin on the Ritz? That's right! F dot blue and you don't know where there's fake news why don't ya get your Gitmo fix

2:19:38 Putin on the Ritz I love how they steal our material Dressed up like a million dollar trooper Trying not to look like Anderson Cooper Super pooper Come let's mix Where John Podesta walks with kids Oh, I mean pizzas in his mitts Putin on the Ritz Outstanding catch Here's a little thing to catch us up with something that pet peeve of mine emerges from this clip, pedestrian deaths. I wonder what it has anything to do with OTG. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released a new report this week showing an alarming rise in pedestrian deaths nearly 6,000 people were head and killed by vehicles in 2016 that's a 46% jump since 2009 the highest number since 1990 Chris Van Cleve looked into this

2:20:36 In March, a woman in Tempe Arizona was killed by a self-driving Uber while crossing the street. The SUV's sensors detected her but failed to react in time A new IIHS report finds it is part of larger trend Pedestrian deaths jumped 46% since 2009 46% is huge. It is a huge number." David Harkey, the president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says about 75 percent of the deaths happened at night. The increases that we're seeing on our busiest streets in our urban and suburban areas...we think part of that is because we haven't properly designed our roadways. Roadways, Harkey says often lack enough equipment to alert drivers of pedestrians and enough safe convenient places to cross. We need to provide

2:21:20 more locations for them to cross. To better protect pedestrians, car companies are adding innovative technology. This system will activate between about 15 and 30 miles per hour. Martin Hayes is the chief engineer for the Buick Regal. His team has developed this I see lots of dead children in our future.

2:22:05 Here's what it gets me. There's a couple of things here, besides the fact they threw in this gratuitous slam against Uber which had nothing to do with the story is when I was kid and they make this comment 75% of these accidents happen at night. I don't know about you but driving around especially like in city area, 75% happens at night because people are wearing all black outfits They're just wearing all black, head to toe. Black, black, black! You can't see these people now when I was a kid there used to be all these public service announcements wear white at night

2:22:47 Wear white at night. Nobody wears white, they all wear black and so you can't see them no wonder there's all these accidents I mean give me a break You can't see a person wearing all black on a very dimly lit street at night My problem is they want to solve part of this at least with technology And i've been against this ever since I saw the Cirrus airplane which has a ballistic parachute Because it makes people complacent. It's just like the Tesla, it makes you complacent. Ah the technology will take care of it. Eh if I run out of gas I can always pull the chute is fine so now we're going to be driving my car is gonna keep everybody safe but Professor Ted knows better this is not how it will end

2:23:36 Well, you have your complaint. I have mine combined they're one good complaint So we had to gripe about uber there's stuff going on with Tesla the big news came late Friday when Bloomberg confirmed that Doug field who is one of just four You know senior executive officers named in Tesla's proxy is on some kind of leave-of-absence And we're not quite sure for how long he will be on leave but that's a really big deal Doug has been in charge of manufacturing and has really just been a key player at Tesla for all of these years. Today we got a memo from Elon Musk that he's announcing some kind of reorganization of the company and this was something that he alluded to on the last earnings call but there aren't any details yet as to what that really means, I think

2:24:16 But if you look at Tesla over the past year, year and a half there have just been a string of departures that continue. And typically when someone leaves they announce their replacement but that hasn't happened recently so we have Doug Field on leave Matthew Schwal who was a key person on the autopilot team is now at Waymo and then this reorg has everyone asking like well what are the changes next? One thing that's very difficult about Tesla Is that a lot of people don't really know who the executives are there's no listing on the website of? Who the named executives are and there's not a lot of transparency to what positions people are filling Yeah Meltdown I think well, I noticed that Waymo is poaching a lot of the Tesla folks yeah But they're going at it at a time when I don't think it's very handy for the for the organization For people like that to be leaving

2:25:11 Yeah, we'll see. Musk does a pretty good job of keeping things under control The royal wedding is this Saturday? I'll be watching Oh sure you will! I have one clip because i thought this was kind of funny and it's about the half-brother and that poison pen letter he wrote oh yeah he was telling the prince don't do it Don't marry this woman. She's no good! But let's play this clip.

2:25:55 Tonight, Meghan Markle's mother arriving in London getting ready for the big day just as news breaks of her ex-husband health. Mr Markle telling TMZ he has now had three stents inserted in his blood vessels following a heart attack last week. The website saying he is alert and coherent but it still unclear if he'll make it to the wedding. You know everything about him being under an incredible amount of stress is true. Markle telling TMZ he believes his heart attack was brought on by an open letter Meghan's half-brother penned to Prince Harry urging him to call off the wedding calling Meghan shallow and conceited just one of the attacks launched by her half siblings

2:26:36 All of it painful for Meghan and Harry, but royal experts say the Queen is likely taking it all in stride. The Queen has more experience than anyone else in the world with negative media This isn't something that's going to ruffle her feathers The palace now revealing new details about their wedding Prince George and Princess Charlotte who stole the show on the day they visited their new baby brother will serve as page boys and bridesmaids reprising their roles expertly performed at their aunt Pippa's wedding. It's unclear why Megan's father is still not speaking through official channels, a lot of uncertainty with just days to go. David Jameser thanks to you again tonight Friday night we'll be anchoring from London and Robin Robertson I first thing in the morning Saturday morning 5am set your DVRs or just like it join us coffee oh yeah plug it hi I failed to understand how in this age

2:27:31 Empowerment for women that this is still something where people get all jitty with it, especially women way I was stunned. I was stunned that he would call her shallow and conceited And she's an actress why wouldn't actress ever be that way? I will tell you when someone warns you not to marry someone Who's an actress you should listen to them? Yeah But seriously, let me read a paragraph from the I have the letter in front of me. It's pretty funny this guy he see now He denounces the letter this brother have oh really? Yeah says my father will never recover financially for just hates his sister because she's somewhat successful and a family of apparently trailer trash it seems

2:28:21 friendly financially from paying Megan's way nor emotionally from disavowing him. Meg is showing her true colors it is very apparent that her and this is a catty part, it's very apparent from her tiny bit of Hollywood fame has gone to her head, changing her into a jaded shallow conceited woman that will make a joke of you in the royal family heritage. So again, that everyone's going all nutty over this and by the way the royal wedding is the British Royal Wedding I'm sure there are other royal weddings but okay good point. Good point But in this age of empowerment...I mean we all know the life she's going to live The life of a princess The life of just sit at home eat bonbons and shut up and dress up pretty Where's the empowerment? And why are we all giddy over this

2:29:21 It flies in the face of everything women have been fighting for. It flies in the face of Americanism! We've always just hated the Royals and we don't, we love the Royals but we technically should be hating them because they're the ones who were like dumb you know we had to rebel against get our own thing going on yeah yeah we kicked their ass now we now we're going until they came back in 1812 and burned down the White House, but that was Canada too. If five years ago I had come to you...I'd gone on CNN and started talking about Bohemian Grove and secret societies what do you think would happen? I don't know Do you think i would get kicked off the air

2:30:11 conspiracy theorist? If you were a conspiracy theorist, well you got kicked off the air for talking about the death of Michael Jackson. Right but how about specifically about Bohemian Grove... No I don't think five years ago no ten years ago maybe five years ago not so much what if as an anchor from CNN was talking about what if an anchor from CNN wrote a book about it About what? Jake Tapper wrote a book called the Hellfire Club. It's fictional, but it seems like it's based on some beliefs of Jake's. Now you know a lot about what is going on in Washington are there do you think secret societies in Washington I'm not talking about from college days or anything along those lines

2:30:53 I don't know of any. I mean, I know the ones that you've heard of... The Gridiron is not a secret society, the Alfalfa Club is not a secret society but there's Bohemian Grove, there's Bilderberg, I mean there are those but what I know of wealthy men I can't imagine that there are not secret societies. The Hellfire Club, in the book and in real life was originally in the 1700s in England it was a very real secret society which they engaged in the most debaucherous acts people in the royal family and politicians and businesspeople would go to this estate about an hour outside of London

2:31:32 engage in mock satanistic rituals and orgies, and they would also create these alliances where they all had dirt on each other because they were all part of the secret society while they also forged these friendships. And when I heard that Benjamin Franklin had actually attended one of these Hellfire Club orgies, I thought to myself this is the genesis of the book well what if Ben Franklin then took that back with him to the United States? knowing that he had something of a libidinous attitude towards life and also, um...that maybe he saw some functionality to such an organization.

2:32:07 And then what if that extended and lasted longer than just the 1700s, but actually was present in the 20th century? So that's how that started. There have to be these clubs! There have to be! How could there not be?! Every time I pick up a newspaper, there is some rich man being brought down for some horrific behavior Why would we not think that the really well-connected and the really wealthy are not doing this, but you know in private places where they can't get caught? Jake Tapper. Backup cohost I would wonder... For one thing there was a Hellfire Club in New York which is a crime bar in the 80s that you could go to if you knew about it There was no way of...

2:32:59 very detailed instructions. And it was an S&M place and there was a Plato's retreat in New York City again... That wasn't at the Necrophiliac Place? No, no the necrophiliac club which was a club and I believe I think Tennessee Williams was a progenitor of that thing it was based on a... It was in the back of a mortuary The Plato's Retreat was just this orgy, it was the 24th. Buck Henry wrote a long article about it I think in Playboy he visited that and there are these other events but these are all sex clubs and many of them kind of disappeared after the AIDS crisis showed up and then all of sudden these sex clubs all disappeared along with bathhouses power stations, there is whole slew if you want to... You know a lot about him! I know too much it seems

2:33:58 But they've all, you know... Tapper's either plugged into this. They wouldn't use the Hellfire Club This is not the same as a bunch of guys plotting something or other I mean that don't associate the Builder Burgers with The Drinking Club Actually they are drinking club He's not touching there maybe there is something Either way he claims there has got to be these secret clubs? I don't think so You don't think there's secret clubs? I don't, i think there are a lot of clubs and some of them are kind of under the radar but I dont think any of them are totally secret like it used to be with The Klan. Well Skull & Bones is! It's not secret we know about it We dont know exactly what they do in their little secret meetings Well we heard what they do and its kinda creepy Kinda gay Creepy and gay Not that theres anything wrong with it

2:34:50 No, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. But you know involves a lot of masturbation in public supposedly nice but we know a bunch of yeah i don't know if anything this is so secretive i mean name would show me somebody that's in one of these things this bullcrap okay this my opinion okay i just don't see any evidence of it um i mean there are places that you have you know not at secret club but you have like some some group uh like that character from India that took over the Southern Oregon area, Rajneesh whatever his name was and he had all these Rolls Royces. They just you know they took over a town people can do that. Kern County's got all kinds of interesting weird corruption that's based on a click and there's a book that was written by one of our local guys Tom Bates and some other left wingers I think it was written in the 60s very impossible to

2:35:49 to get a hold of called the Wealth of Cities. The Wealth of Cities, kind of joke on the other book, The Wealth of Nations. The Wealth of Cities shows how is left bunch of left-wingers and I've seen this in play if you get enough people together you can just go into it's small area start running for office take over the town bring your buddies in and starts stealing the money get more government grants and just steal the money. And this was all, that's what this book was all about it was how to do it and I think that's gone on in a number of places and California is filled with little towns that have stolen the money they put people extremely overpaid jobs Vallejo as a good example when it went broke and they saw what they were paying everybody It was outrageous. Yeah well I think the sex thing is that you know get everybody into the same weird sex stuff and then y'all kind of protect each other

2:36:43 That seems to be a common denominator. Speaking of books... It's the pedophile argument too! Yes? Tom Wolfe passed away? Man, when have we had a writer since like Tom Wolfe? I get the biggest kick out of Tom. If i ran into him a couple of times he uh... Just for people who don't know, he wrote Bonfire of the Vanities, The Electrocholate Acid Test He wrote a lot of very important books but I remember when Bonfire of the Vanities came out and this was a big controversy because some editor at his publishing company said you know that guy can't write

2:37:20 And I had to rewrite everything. It was terrible until I got ahold of it, and I remember this very distinctly and then somebody had gotten to it was on online thing early online in the 80's I think. He wrote out the whole book under New Yorker Magazine chapter by chapter and if you compare that magazine to the book the difference is the edits aren't that profound And then now he's being called one of the most creative writers and ever. Oh yeah, John when we're dead and gone will be called The Geniuses Yeah the podcasting genius Way ahead of their time The Milton Burroughs of podcasting There you go! there is a serious threat though for our dudes named Ben I wanted to just discuss this briefly i have a memo here

2:38:08 Importance high it is to all IT associates in this particular organization. I find this somewhat concerning and i think any organization that does this needs to think twice as part of tasks to improve our security we have selected a new cloud-based antivirus tool called Falcon from CrowdStrike Security you remember those guys This is a next generation antivirus solution that uses behavioral analytics and machine learning to block malware attacks. The Ops team will be starting the development of Falcon this week with the UK and South Africa already underway We will be using our SCCM environment to roll out the CrowdStrike sensor which is a small lightweight agent that has no client interface

2:39:04 The management and configuration of the sensor is done via the cloud management portal by the Ops team. I do not foresee any major performance degradation issues with this deployment. However, if you do suspect Falcon is impacting a computer please raise an incident via the get help page." How about not using it at all? Well first of all centralizing your entire malware protection seems like a bad idea but they're also deploying it with something that is effectively malware

2:39:39 And what are the dudes named Ben gonna do? They just sit back while everything's now deployed by CrowdStrike. I don't see it... This is a disaster waiting to happen. I agree with you, this is a big mistake Especially these guys With their PewPew threat map What kind of bullcrap are they spewing all over everybody and what is up man people hate Bezos Bernie Sanders though he's going after Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos watch According to Time Magazine, from January 1st through May 1st of this year Jeff Bezos the founder of Amazon saw his wealth increase by $275 million every single day.

2:40:30 for a total increase in wealth of 33 billion dollars in a four-month period. Meanwhile, thousands of Amazon employees are forced to rely on food stamps Medicaid and public housing because their wages are just too low. Yeah, murk-a Bernie! But everyone hates Bezos now... Have you been following the Seattle homeless tax? No. So Amazon and Starbucks are mad of course

2:41:07 Because now the city is saying, oh you have to pay a tax per employee which I think turns out to be around 500 or 600 dollars per employee per year so that they can generate 86 million dollars for social programs. Which originally was 75 but i guess they raised it up a little bit and of course Amazon and Starbucks are mad But you don't think Amazon saw this coming when they decided to look for their second new location? Totally! Oh, totally. They're going to bail out on Washington State. You can count on it. Yeah and they're gonna come to Austin

2:41:47 No, we're in the top three. We're in the top three it can be in the top one and you're not going to Austin Why why do you say this? One is troublemakers same kind of jerk-offs that are in Seattle that'll cause trouble Company they don't want anything to do with them They're not hard workers, they're all a bunch of tech types. They wanna go into some place where they can get a lot of hard workers that'll work cheap because the cost of living isn't what it is in Austin and Seattle and San Francisco and Los Angeles so the likelihood of being awesome is nil! No I prefer them not to come but I don't know... Well you're gonna get your wish. Good. But talking about he's getting bad PR, I have an example of bad PR

2:42:34 You know, he can hire people to turn this around but apparently doesn't care because they owns the Washington Post. Why should he care? He can do whatever he wants. Yeah you can write his own good publicity in The Washington Post but here's a thing tell me how this is not screwed up This is a bad report I mean in terms of publicity play the gap China T-shirt San Francisco-based Gap is apologizing over a shirt that featured what China calls an incomplete map of its country. The People's Daily in China posted this photo of the shirt you'll notice the map of China doesn't include Taiwan which is off the eastern coast mainland China claims the island as part of its territory but Taiwan, of course does not see itself that way

2:43:19 This batch of products have been pulled off shelves in the Chinese market and destroyed. We are now conducting an internal inspection within the group to correct this mistake as soon as possible." Well, first of all, cow tying to China over this Taiwan thing is they could have reprinted the things. But you don't take the shirts off the market and destroy them! You take them off the market and give them to the homeless! Yeah no that's not gonna happen what was the other thing we had that destroyed him didn't give me the homeless? Oh there was also a T-shirt thing wasn't it I don't remember, but it just doesn't make sense to me that you take it off the market. Because one thing about it is they must be destroyed because they do not include Taiwan. Well then would you bitch if you gave them to the homeless and say well the homeless are getting T-shirts that don't include Taiwan? They're not going to complain or can say anything so it's like good for Gap. Yeah, this was a story wasn't this where they were going to burn them for energy yeah yeah yeah they were gonna burn them for energy

2:44:23 Was it the same Gap story? I wonder. I don't think it was, but whatever it is you don't destroy quality of your quality. You'll destroy a good product that can be used by somebody in this environment where you have especially a San Francisco based company that is crawling with homeless if nothing else they can poop in them. The situation in San Francisco is almost funny to watch now I love seeing all the California law peoples. They're concerned about making sure DACA gets taken care of, not about their own homeless. Yeah exactly! I have three clips left and i do want to play them The first is in Ohio in an interestingly named county Licking County

2:45:19 And they have like most of the world now, but certainly Ohio has a huge opioid abuse problem. And so now there's billboards throughout the entire county and the county is giving away Naloxone, the anti-overdose drug The Licking County Health Department started putting up these billboards around the county. They say the heroin epidemic here has gotten to the point where everyone needs to get involved, not just people with friends and family who are struggling with addiction. Unfortunately you can't ignore it. Carrie Dyer knows what it's like to have a family member

2:45:57 struggle with heroin addiction. Most people don't know where to go or what to do, they don't know what the resources are she says there's still a stigma about heroin addiction. Watch out for needles watch out for needles but she's hoping billboards like this will start to change that. In the kit, as I said there are two doses of naloxone. Mary Beth Hagstead trains people how to use Naloxone at the Licken County Health Department Some of our own staff have pulled into a strip mall and seen somebody slumped over a wheel and knew they were in trouble She says billboards are way to get more people help out

2:46:33 Time is everything and so if people actually have a kit they can quickly get this nasal spray naloxone into someone until the medics arrive. So that can save a life right there." And saving that person's life could be what they need to get clean for good Right now, the Licking County Health Department is giving away free Naloxone kits They also have free training so people know how to use it It's so typical of us here in America It's like just put a band-aid on it, just shoot him in the nose. That's all good give him nasal spray let's not figure out why this is actually happening. Yeah this is a pet peeve of yours and I think it's a good pet peeve yeah what no don't this don't fix the problem just patch it. Patch it with some nasal spray there are pot holes instead you know if you start filling up the pothole as a patch it becomes another pot hole again?

2:47:31 I came across a good clip about the deals that Iran has with Western politicians and countries. And somewhere there was a number of reports that if they didn't like how the new negotiations were going with Trump, apparently Iran is threatened to out individuals who wanted the deal to happen and what kind of kickbacks they got which would be fantastic to see! But in the meantime, I would like to see that. I'm wondering whether this report is true but i hope it is!

2:48:10 The part that I think is true is all the deals that were done as a part of the Iran deal, which the previous administration did. Britain France and Germany lobbied furiously to try and stop President Trump ditching the disastrous Iran nuclear deal And now they're trying to keep it alive Of course they dressed up as high principle But the truth is that for them It's about more money for their big business cronies Yes The Swamp is truly global Britain has pushed numerous business interests in Iran since the Obama deal lifted sanctions, including their telecoms company Vodafone partnering with Iranian internet firm HiWeb to help modernize its network. And in 2017 British officials agreed to a 720 million dollar deal to create a solar energy park in Iran with investors from Asia Europe and the Middle East

2:48:55 Germany is even more swampy. After sanctions were lifted, carmaker Volkswagen reached an agreement with Iran's Mammoth Codro to sell two of their models there and German manufacturing giant Siemens signed a contract worth at least 1.5 billion euros to build rail coaches and upgrade train tracks in Iran but here is the swampiest German and this is truly shocking. One of the biggest impacts of new sanctions would be on energy and Russia in particular, giant Russian state oil and gas companies Rosneft and Gazprom both have interests in Iran guess who is now head of the executive board at Rosneft? And also chairman of the Board of Directors at Nord Stream 2 a subsidiary of Gazprom Gerhard Schroeder Angela Merkel's predecessor as Chancellor of Germany

2:49:42 The former German leader is on the board of Russia's biggest energy companies. Since Russia has got practically no economy apart from energy, that's basically like being on the board of Russia! And the elites accuse Donald Trump of collusion. But perhaps the country deepest in the Iran swamp is France... In December 2016, French airplane manufacturer Airbus signed a deal with Iranair to sell it 100 planes for around $19 billion. Another French aircraft maker ATR struck a $536 million deal with Iranair for 20 planes. French oil giant Total SA signed a 20-year, 5 billion dollar contract with Iran and the Chinese Oil Company to develop an Iranian natural gas field

2:50:22 And French car maker Peugeot got a deal to open an Iranian plant producing 200,000 vehicles a year. It turns out that one fifth... of Peugeot's entire global market is in Iran. And you'll also be interested to discover that the former Rothschild banker who once worked on a bailout of Peugeot, is none other than Emmanuel Macron now president of France I think we'd all take these globalist elite politicians a bit more seriously when they condemn Donald Trump for pulling out of the nuclear deal if they themselves weren't up to their necks and their own swamp deals with Iran That's a nice little overview Wow, I'm gonna give you a clip of the day for that good information. Yeah, I was actually kind of blown away when i saw it and like holy crap Thank You! And we know about Schroeder but yeah Macron with Peugeot and I mean... It's ridiculous Really? And then they bitch about Trump owning a few hotels

2:51:23 Well according to the Bitcoin Iran theory no reason to be worried as bitcoin is down again We're at 81 almost 8200 so it doesn't seem like there's much worry in the market But I do keep receiving reports that all of Europe is now dealing with Iran and euros not the dollar And it's and there's got to be some energy stuff in there, which is not what we like. That's not gonna go over I don't know why people can't figure this out Well, what are we... What's gonna be done with it? People die. It's always unfortunate if you're gonna pay in euros please don't take any hot tubs just not healthy for you Don't hop in there

2:52:11 And then I have the last interesting millennial report, which is funny and sad at the same time. Since you mentioned Iran, you might as well play my... this thing's been sitting here we need to catch up with the Tehran protests just so where you balance that a little bit. Protests against America? Yeah, just general protest. Yeah America is mostly. Thousands took to the streets to denounce the US following President Trump's withdrawal from the nuclear deal which will mean a new round of economic sanctions Liz Palmer in Tehran tonight reports Iranians are fed up and not just with Washington After Friday prayers the hardliners hit the streets This may be annoying demonstration but it actually fairly tiring

2:52:57 old routine by now, designed by a regime that wants to deflect the people's anger toward America. I'm not on the very serious problem of brewing here at home." None of these regime loyalists would dare say it, especially to an American reporter. But Iranians are furious with their own government's failure to deliver basics like electricity and water and decent wages. In January grassroots protests spread like wildfire. And for the first time angry crowds burned pictures of the previously untouchable Supreme Leader.

2:53:35 President Trump pulling out of the nuclear deal and Iran's missile exchanges with Israel are just ramping up the pressure in a country that is already dangerously close to boiling point. Elizabeth Palmer, CBS News, Tehran And then there was this today Iran's supreme leader used social media to troll the president Ayatollah Ali Khamenei posted a picture of himself reading a Farsi language copy of Fire and Fury Michael Wolffs book that is highly critical of the Trump White House Wait, that thing got translated into Farsi? Apparently it did Well John I'm here in Tehran and it seems like they really hate America

2:54:16 Yep, there you go. They're saying death to all Americans! They're saying Trump is gonna kill us all! Gettin' there I can do that kind of report Yeah work on it Alright Millennials Millennials it's sad and funny at the same time It has to do with what they eat Frozen food once frowned upon as unhealthy uninspired and tasteless Has recently become immensely popular among busy millennials with some even willing to pay more for healthier frozen options. The trend has food giant Nestle and its rivals spending millions of dollars ramping up production, selling frozen food with fewer preservatives in simpler and more attractive packaging. Reuters correspondent Risha Naidoo. The market is looking for healthier

2:55:07 convenient, easy to cook meals that are also trendy and fashionable with ingredients like avocados. The market however is incredibly competitive and has been for several years but now more so than ever as this demand has gotten a lot of food companies very excited. Despite being the number one food company in the world, Nestle was not prepared for the frozen food craze. Analysts say Nestle has trailed behind ConAgra, General Mills and Pinnacle Foods in releasing high-priced premium meals that are also perceived as healthy So they're falling for it. The small batch crap is working! And the other thing is, they mentioned some like fewer preservatives frozen foods have very little preservatives in general because that's the idea yeah but here's my prediction okay? The next thing canned food craze! Ooh I like it yes small batch canned food

2:56:06 Yeah, canned foods. It's healthier and more expensive! Yeah then after that salted meats! Know your salted meats Alright everybody that is your deconstruction for this Thursday May 17th 2018 And we return on Sunday where of course we'll have a report on whatever happened at the royal wedding But maybe some serious crap as well. Seems to be plenty of it out there and we're happy to bring it to you twice weekly, remember us at Dvorak dot org slash NA Coming to you from downtown Austin Texas capital drone star state FEMA region 6

2:57:49 with our slide whistles, figuring out which is the best way to grip it if you did want to run somebody through with it. You remembered! Alright now we're stabbing... You have a really solid grip and you could swing into somebody I wanna stab them with you And probably impale them We're stabbing With the slide whistle so your luck here wasn't confiscated I hope you like stabbing too Ain't no rules there ain't no vow We can even stab a cow You and I will knife them through. Cause everyday we pay the price, with a little sacrifice Stab until the knife pokes through We're stabbing To think that stabbing was a thing of the past Now were stabbin' My hope is life is gonna last No bullet can stop us now

The time is now for us to be bold, through the loop 42 virgins do await on the slide you don't want to be late and then martyrdoms with more than gold yeah now it's just you just hack stabbing stabbing stabbing stabbing in the name of Allah so i won't slice your hand won't slide down as you're pushing it through bone and flesh stabbing right into a god It's the burnout factor. I'm always sad when people are doing a lot, like Sir Chris in Australia and I love the guy He is doing so much good work but you know I keep telling him dude slow down You don't need to do a show-a song for every single show you're gonna burn out Yeah he won't listen Actually did some lyrics for me but we won't do those either Uh well you did lyrics for it?
