00:00 Racist! Is that what they're doing in California? They're only acknowledging Stalin's? No, come on.

00:41 You gotta be kidding me, right? Well yeah I'm kidding you. Okay good. I mean i know they're kooky out there but... They're mostly acknowledging Trump As the wannabe Stalin! I wish I could- I got to go to some of these rallies and pick up some of these posters. See now I went to the rally. I went to the Protect Mueller Rally here in Austin. Yes right after the show Did you get any posters for me? Well, no there in fact there were no posters everything was handmade So this was although it was organized Let me just say I went so I can see City Hall in front of City Hall from from our balcony. So after the show I'm you know chilling out and on the balcony for a second. I'm like oh look this Pete Okay, that's the thing that's the

01:28 The protect Mueller thing. Yeah, yeah. Protect Mueller. All the radicals want to protect the FBI. So I'm like so i'm gonna go down there and just and I just kind of walked in between them and I gotta say first of all a lot of American flags a lot of patriotic flag waving which is typically associated with Republicans in Austin at least Or right-wing white nationalists, I should say. There's no such thing as a Republican here... only Nazis! And so people are flying flags and everyone there looked like which i think is what it was looked like they had you know they belong to a Facebook group You know? They're all yeah we're gonna meet up five o'clock right in front of City Hall

02:10 A lot of DNC spokesholes on the microphone, a lot of Trump is not above the law. A lot actually of they and them. They want them! It's just like the enemy is they and them. They're under-rising the Republicans. Very much so. I've heard a lot of that. The people themselves John? I would say middle aged... slight twinge of stress you know I bet but you know no one was unhinged known was you know going nuts oh well but but is it possible that there are people who like to go stand in crowds and just hold a sign. I noticed the number of people

02:54 And not even on a stick, they just hold the sign up with one hand and they're standing there. And they're not looking at anything, they're just gazing off into space... Even as the crowd is dissipating, they just stand there? This may be a thing that I don't know about. Well maybe you're into Sims! It was an NPC whose programming had just not moved on to the next phase yet. He's standing there. Orange man bad. So it was very demure, not your Antifa crowd. It was middle-aged people who look very distressed because they completely believe... Because they're distressed? Well yes they're distressed but it's obvious they completely believe in some form of Russian collusion. Zephyr! Thank goodness there we go.

03:50 So I did think they completely believe in everything this yeah, actually have a clip regarding this hold on a sec Among those here have a look at the crowd a lot of folks packed in here organizers say their message. No one is above the law Very similar to Austin this I think is Arizona For a jingle Is that the best they can do? It's got no jazz to it at all. Donald Trump is not above the law! He's above the law. Donald Trump is NOT ABOVE THE LAW! You're right, and

04:26 I mean, there's no melody. There's no nothing you can't remember. It's not catchy at all Our jingle people do better than that and you know they will now that was video taken within the last hour organizer said this protest one of many planned nationwide is an opposition to President Trump's firing of Jeff Sessions and appointment of Matthew Whitaker as acting AG and concerns they have of what this will mean for the special counsel's investigation given Whitaker has publicly been critical of Robert Mueller and the investigation prior to joining the Justice Department. Now this protest comes as 18 attorneys general, this afternoon including Washington AG Bob Ferguson banded together to sign a letter calling on Whitaker to recuse himself from overseeing the special counsel's investigation. Oppression needs to be confronted early

05:10 Because loss of our civil liberties follows the the loss of the rule of law And right now the rule of law is threatened It is threatened by a president who is afraid of being held accountable. This is going this is going nowhere This this Trump is not above the law it's just it's not working Yeah, that's it's it's not gaining any desired result I think they're just going back to racism with Trump now in the rotation and Maybe. Well, no not me. Yeah they have been picking on him for this he said he talked back to some black reporters Ah! No you don't have the full meme yet which by the way is everywhere today Okay The full meme is he is racist because he puts down black female reporters Not one, not two but three

06:03 And so this is what everybody is talking about, not us. I mean we are but this is now the racist meme of the week And we have proof that Trump is racist. Here's NPR, the bastion of reporting on the radio. President Trump's feud with the media seemed to take some ominous turns this week. There was that testy exchange with CNN's Jim Acosta... Are you worried? That's enough! That's enough. Mr president I didn't- I'm gonna ask one other- The other friend. That led to Acosta- Acosta as you know a black woman being barred from the White House Then today another CNN reporter asked the president if he wanted his new acting attorney general to rein in Robert Mueller What a stupid question that is.

06:40 What a stupid question. But I watch you a lot, and you ask a lot of stupid questions. The reporter asking that question was Abby Phillip, a black woman... Oh no! By the way not that yo- And I saw no footage that showed the reporter asking the questions but for NPR by the way did she actually say by the way a black reporter? A black woman let me see. ...new acting attorney general to Reynan Robert Mueller what a stupid question that is What a stupid question, but I watch you a lot. You ask a lot of stupid questions The reporter asking that question was Abby Philip a black woman in fact? I mentioned because the president then went on to attack another black woman reporter April Ryan I mean you talk about somebody that's a loser she doesn't know what the hell She's doing she Trump also had by the way this is well done because the April Ryan quote-unquote attack

07:33 refers to, you know press conference that where she wasn't allowed to ask a question. But they've melded these two answers of his together as if he went on right after that to say she's dumb You know what I mean? It's kind of a reverse whipsaw. It is the stuff we find out on the show constantly. Yeah, it's annoying... It's cheating reporting. Reporter April Ryan. I mean you talk about somebody that's a loser she doesn't know what the hell she's doing Trump also had choice words this week for PBS' Yamiche Alcindor another black female reporter Some people saw that as emboldening white nationalists now people are saying... I don't why would say such a racist question So what's going on here

08:15 Now, here's something that is new on NPR. I think they've figured out that they really can't sell it to themselves... They can't ruin their own integrity by ginning up these types of theories. I'm not going to say it's a conspiracy, well it is actually conspiracy because everyone's doing it that the president you know he was racist and here's the proof its he's very harsh towards female black reporters but they can't really sell that to themselves by talking about that so they bring in The Podcast. Jean Dinby co-host of NPR's Code Switch podcast is in the studio with us hey

08:52 See, and they have a lot of podcasts when these people aren't necessarily on the radio. So they're kind of like well was the podcaster who said it you know? It's not really NPR. Gene... Hey there Louise What did you make of the president exchanges with reporters? Sorry I think that's dynamite observation. They have their own built-in straw man they can bring in, beat the crap out of him or not or have him say some crazy stuff and oh well there you go there was an opinion he is associated with us so therefore you associate him with us and so therefore you think the same way And i've heard it...I think there may even be another clip from NPR today where they do the exact same, just bring in a blogger. I mean a podcaster. Hey Jean. Hey Mary Louise. What did you make of the president's exchanges with reporters this week? It was interesting right if you look at their response to Yamiche Alcindor question she asked this very legitimate question about rising white nationalism and

09:48 whether the president's decisions. What was the question? He cut, why isn't white nationalism? That wasn't the question! The question wasn't about rising white nationalism. Presidents exchange that up this thing is wait until this guy gets to the end of his spiel and it's just boom boom boom boom one untruth after another but In the lexicon, for him completely truth and completely valid. It was interesting, right? And she asked this very legitimate question about rising white nationalism and whether the president's decision to identify himself as a nationalist was somehow contributing to that. Trump used an old tactic though from people who are defensive about questions about race they said that talking about racism is the real racism. Ah you see I knew this was gonna be problematic when he said that's a very racist question that apparently is a very old tactic that racists use

10:48 Yeah, yeah. Racists will say that's a racist question to deflect from their own blatant racism. Of course. ...was somehow contributing to that Trump using old tactic though people who are defensive about questions about race they said they're talking about racism is the real racism it is not listen hold on a second this guy he has a little twang does he is he black I believe so but she didn't mention it and by the way I think she should have Or she should have mentioned his creed, color race whatever and hers because we're identifying everybody. I agree they should identify is she? She should probably say what her pronoun is for that matter it's in their email signature don't worry about race they said they're talking about racism is the real racism it does not listeners uh and today was a little bit different Abby Philip asked the president about

11:41 whether his acting attorney general would rein in the Russia investigation. Now, President Trump has obviously said that that investigation is a witch hunt and suggested he would like his past Attorney General Jeff Sessions to reign it in. The focus of so much of their...the ire between the two of them. So it seems like a legitimate question. OK but as we just heard did the president also attack...So what was wrong with they didn't resolve that I might want to point out It's so how what was wrong then? What he said that it says, that's a stupid question. I don't understand How is that racist they don't resolve it they just say black woman He said something not good races Jim Acosta who whatever you think of him. He's not a black woman The president is singling out black women I mean, it's really hard to say right the president

12:28 has this antagonistic relationship with the press broadly. On the other hand, the context, this larger context matters... Right and the president uses racially charged language in all kinds of contexts. Let's listen to some examples! It's not just sparring with reporters Exactly there is you know the fine people on both sides comment after Charlottesville Racist! There was the way he went after NFL players who were protesting racial inequality in the criminal justice system. Racist! What do you say? Get those sons of bitches off the field? I would tell an owner, get that son-of-a-bitch off the field. That's racist! Racists! There is the Muslim ban... Racist! ...and the language around that. And with the language around that... Huh?!

13:10 No, there's never been a Muslim. Of course not but that's what we call it now in on NPR I'm sorry It was the podcaster who made a mistake those guys you know they give me too much freedom. I'm sorry We won't have them on again Don't worry You know the April Ryan who is one of the most prominent members at The White House press corps? Prominent What did what what do she work for okay American urban radio networks Is that what it is? I think it's that April Ryan, American urban radio networks. She joined CNN also as a political analyst. Yeah she's not one of the most prominent White House correspondents she sits in the middle of the pack not at the front where Jim Acosta gets to sit

14:01 She's not one of the prominent members. Look, I'm ant-fucking here but i'm just pissed off at this guy. He got a nice CNN clip says April Ryan to Trump? I'm not a loser should be a nice clip and we do know that April Ryan who is one of the most prominent members of The White House press corps she certainly seems to think that he singles out women and people of color in the press room here's what she said to CNN you don't see this kind of exchange happening with white males No, we didn't see that with Jim Acosta. Okay in that room as much as you do minorities meaning African-american woman myself or women Jean did be when the president speaks to reporters at the White House He's of course also speaking to a much wider audience How does language like this play with his base? Well, we know they love it We know that they're all right

14:51 From public opinion polls that his base is especially skeptical of the news media according to a Quinnipiac poll from late in the summer about 51% of Republicans said that The News Media is the enemy of the people. This is good I have not seen this poll, I couldn't find it but now we've moved it to a poll and I mean did the pole say Is The News Media? The Enemy Of The People or did the poll say Is The Fake News Enemy of the people now you're just doing polls and you bring that in and then whatever Trump actually said doesn't matter anymore We also know that from, you know years a public opinion polling that Republicans are conservative on racial issues They are more skeptical of sort of fixing inequality through the government for or like own affirmative action on policing And so you have these in this case. You have three reporters who were also women importantly who?

15:41 Yeah, he's a millennial guy. These two demographics they are members of the news media and they are also not white very visibly not white in a press corps that is overwhelmingly white. Is that still true? The White House Press Corps overwhelmingly white? Overwhelmingly so Well maybe the networks are racist They're not sending enough black and brown people and females and transgenders and dogs What has that got to do with Trump? It has nothing to do with him No, this has to do... The only one they kicked out was a white guy. Not white in a press corps that is overwhelmingly white. Is that still true? Trump is working on that! He brought down the white side by one so score for the black side you should be happy. True White House Press Corps are overwhelmingly white. Overwhelmingly so and so in a lot of ways they may be literal embodiments of the things that most animate some of Trump's base yeah racist let's check out CNN significantly shorter clip but this is

16:33 Kirsten Powers and she just, you know they're not going to dwell on what happened but more on her analysis. That was Abby Phillip of CNN joining now as CNN political analyst Kirsten Powers and former Trump campaign aide Michael Caputo. Kirsten I'm just watching the president there, April Ryan is obviously African-American, Abby Phillip is as well earlier he I think it was on Wednesday at the press conference he spoke to an Afro American reporter saying her question was racist you know some have said that there is a racial component to this or the president's willingness to call African-Americans stupid. Do you see that? Yeah I do and he plays on racial tropes that go all the way back to the beginning of it. Did he call African Americans as a group stupid

17:24 That's what he just said. Do you see that? I'm gonna listen again, let's roll it back. I missed that if that's what he said. Let's say... He spoke to an African-American reporter saying her question was racist You know some have said there is a racial component to this or the president willingness to call African Americans stupid. Oh! Yeah good catch No, he called April Ryan stupid I guess you could parse it any way you want. He calls women stupid, he calls black stupid, black women African-American women, women under six feet tall...

18:02 Do you see that yeah, I do and he plays on racial tropes that goes all the way back to the beginning of this country and the idea All the way back to the beginning That's right. That's how far back Trump goes with his racism black people aren't as smart as white people oh my god We in the, in our past had literacy tests for black people in order to vote and I don't think... Is that true? Did we have literacy tests for African Americans to vote? I think it's some parts of Dixie Crat South. Yeah, I think that is true Democrats by the way, yes democrats. Good point! We in our past had literacy tests for black people in order to vote and I don't think it's a coincidence that he talks about you know whether its Don Lemon having low IQ or Maxine Waters has a low IQ or LeBron James has a low IQ Or now we're supposed to believe Abby Phillip is asking a stupid question Oh I see okay overall if you take all of those people together I can see how they

19:04 How they, has he said this about any white people? Trump's gotta watch it. Has he called any white person dumb? Well I'd have to think about that but yeah wondering whether you ever said LeBron James had a low IQ. I am...I think he's well something similar i'm sure who knows maybe doubting it well maybe we're wrong maybe he is singling out African-Americans for being stupid I mean when you put that list together, that's actually pretty convincing. He has, I don't know about LeBron James but he has said it about Maxine Waters. He has said it about Don Lemon so I'm just saying that if you put that list together I can see how they come up with this thought with his thinking. Don't think is the coincidence that he... She even says its not a coincidence she's actually accusing the president now. ...talks about whether it's Don Lemon having low IQ Yes I remember that. Or Maxine Waters who has a low IQ Well yeah he did all of time. or Lebron James who has a low IQ

20:16 Or now we're supposed to believe, you know, Abby Phillip is asking a stupid question. There's a con... Which has nothing to do with IQ by the way. ...constant theme here and it's frankly right out of the white supremacist playbook I mean this is classic white supremacy It's classic! It's classic white supremacists! Classic! I'm very tired of this now And if- Is this what the mainstream M5M is going to do now? Is this their track Huh, I guess what it to LeBron James stuff and a guy's video that started up automatically Yes, we used to do that a lot at pod show well. Okay? That's something that's something to be no reason I care about this is because This is a trick technique mm-hmm where you like the Muslim band trick Yeah He keeps just saying it over and over and over and over and over in the next thing You know it's true

21:19 I think he said Mika Brzezinski is stupid. He says LeBron James has just been interviewed by the dumbest man on television, this is right out of a tweet The dumbest man on television Don Lemon did he say he had low IQ or did you say he's the dumbest man on television? Well he said that about Don Lemon right D-Lemon But is that the same as he's got a low IQ? He just the dumbest, dumb TV guy. Yeah you're right. He says... so I'm not sure that... saying low IQ is very specific. Very different yeah it's very different. I agree and you're right If they call someone a bonehead does that mean they have low IQ no you call them a bonehead. Bone! Wait a minute bone because in Africa the natives had bones through their nose You're racist

22:04 LeBron James just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made LeBron look smart which isn't easy to do! And then he says I like Mike referring to Michael Jordan which is kind of inside basketball reference so did you say at a low IQ? No they said the two were dumb okay not quite not the same as low IQ low IQ which has been accusing Waters of but She can have it her way in this regard. I don't think it's a complete generality because he just said he likes Mike Yeah, but anyway this is what they're... It's now syndicated the Herald Tribune Florida That's I think oh This is The Washington Post here Washington Post is on it over the past several days Trump has launched personal attacks against a trio of black female journalists

23:00 His verbal assault against black reporters, candidates and lawmakers has renewed criticism. The president employs insults rooted in racist tropes." That's where that girl got it from. Tropes? Racist tropes... What exactly is a trope? Well, a trope is like a cliche but it's somewhere between a meme and a cliche but let's look it up. Yeah I think that's a good idea because this woman who was on CNN she really just read the Washington Post article and thats how she came up with racist tropes Trope is a figurative or metaphorical use of word or expression So its kind of like one step removed from I hate you black people

23:48 Now that I'm looking at this definition, I think you'd call it like an old saying. No it wouldn't even be that. It's figurative or metaphorical. I don't see how it fits in actually to be honest about now. Strange isn't it? Yeah but they like the word. I noticed the left likes the word trope. I've always had a hard time using it because ever sound good. I don't like the sound of the word trope, but it's true." But also what good is it? It's like you know if we don't even understand what it means why would you use it? But he says over the past several days... They think they know what it means and I think that meaning something along the lines of what I said which is kind of a meme and a bromide. Oh okay! I gotcha. So blacks are stupid, blacks have low IQ thats the trope

24:51 I think because it's kind of a meme, a racist meme. It's kind of a generality... We got it yeah and its figurative which doesn't make sense well according to the Washington Post just add to it he recently called Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum a thief again you know it's like black people thieves it's all in this context low IQ person thieves these are all tropes that are racist Yeah, I mean you could build a case. Yeah, of course you can yes exactly and that's what's being done there? I guess they don't have anything else to run with

25:27 Well, it's in the rotation and it's got to come around. And they keep trying these different things nothing sticks part of the reason nothing sticks is Trump himself he keeps tweeting weird things that make people go off in another direction like a bunch of ants if you have a whole horde of ants and you've got one of those lighter guns from scripto that you light barbecues with and push it down into the thing and start moving it around burning ants my aunt thing And they watch him scrambling all over the place. That's kind of what Trump does with his tweets Well, it's like throwing up like some kerosene on them on the ants and we know that's the wrong thing to do because you never want To torch the ant that's taken the dead guy back to this to the mound So I have now let's talk about the national the I'm a nationalist thing because this is a fantastic

26:17 mix of the Lear Foundation, mainstream media, fictional presidencies and a real message meant to indoctrinate people watching it and this is Madame Secretary which I don't think i saw the last season maybe the last, maybe not even the last two seasons. I liked in the beginning, I like Tae Lee Oni she's... I've been well I've been meaning to record this what did I know except you're gonna play but it's like a really I find the show to be a borderline offensive. It got really offensive, it wasn't in the beginning. In the beginning was it was different but now we're talking before Clinton was running yeah to be the first female president or really the second as you pointed out in the newsletter

27:11 Yeah, and that's a fact by the way. You want to just briefly tell everybody? Well during the... And before I talk about Armistice, today is Armistice Day even though we don't celebrate it in the United States, we celebrate Veterans' day which was creation of this in the 50s because World War II veterans were just back from the war and they said what do we say who cares about these old guys! It's got to be about us And I know it's offensive, but it seems to be that if you look into it, it seems to me what it was about. So the change of the Veterans Day and they still kept, I think a World War II Memorial day well during the Woodrow Wilson administration when after World War One they tried to, you know, the United Nations League of Nations was discussed informed. I think it ended up in Geneva and they it was going to be their first example this is a globalization era right?

28:04 similar to the one we have now. And that globalization era, which ended up in that war which is the same way this one's gonna end up after the thing was over it was a one of these situations where all they you know the elites said God this is no good look at all the people we don't have servants and or we lost a butler and some of the people that write for the newspaper are been killed at this war that we told them to go to and people came trying to steal our stuff. Yeah, we gotta do something about that! So they formed the League of Nations and Wilson's job was to get the United States to join in this is going to be a you know organization but it would have ended up like The United Nations useless but at the time they thought it was a good idea and Wilson had a tremendous stroke that completely made him unfunctional

28:57 He should have been taken out by the 25th Amendment, by the way. But no, Democrats don't work that way." So his wife- Now you just sound like a Republican man. I do! Yeah, don't do those things. It doesn't suit you well. People are going to bitch about me anyway. But it was strange to me that this guy could be incapacitated and the 25th Amendment didn't apply him so that means is never gonna apply to anybody So his wife was president. She just told everybody what to do as a surrogate and she did a fine job, though she couldn't...she could maybe communicate with them it's doubtful but she used the same advisors nobody wanted to talk about it because it was like oh god or the country is gonna go to party. You know what would be fun? If we gave a posthumous presidential medal of honor

29:48 Yes, for her service as president. Just to irk Hillary. It's a de facto presidency the same one that somebody said we should just impeach Trump and put Hillary in! Yeah yeah it'd be the same kind of thing. That's fantastic This was only recently explored by historians Another salient point you added to the newsletter was that just before What period was it? Just before, just after World War I? Before World War II that everything was borderless. No that was... No no no, 30 years right began around 1890

30:34 in earnest, but almost 30 years. The passport because you do research on passports you find they weren't even employed from about 1890 to the war and so people could roam around aimlessly which allowed this one nut case from Serbia to go shoot the guy that Ferdinand douchebag guy. I learned something about that today Archduke Franz Ferdinand was murdered on Sarajevo, June 28th 1940 in his car. His open car. Not 1940 1914 Yeah Do you know what is license plate was? Was a bunch of threes No A for Alpha 111118 I don't believe that Yes Go look at the interwebs

31:22 There's lots of photographic evidence. Well, I'm gonna have to look at it because it just sounds too phony. And this conspiracy that he knew... That it would be over. I'm just telling you, go ahead and look the conspiracy about 11118 has been around for a while. Yeah, there are photoshoppers out there. No, i don't think its Photoshopped. It's unlikely this doesn't make any sense but okay all right i'll look into it. Just saying...I'm not saying that aliens came here and put it down as like oh be careful you'll be celebrating armistice day 100 years! Ehh..it was just a coincidence Anyway, so Ferdinand was gunned down in this situation and so Austria declared war on Serbia and then that blossomed into World War I. And awkwardly people had to take sides.

32:15 All right, so... And for some reason I don't know why Austria didn't take the brunt of the blame at the end. It was blamed on the Germans who were just got into it You know by coincidence I saw The Sound Of Music that didn't know that there was a 2015 musical they did in BBC did You mean the old musical was redone by the BBC in 2015? Yes, exactly. I saw it! I liked it! Oh yeah see I like that stuff and... I don't mind good Broadway plays on Broadway on the stage but when they're put on TV and they're singing out of the blue which is completely... And I thought to sing- I thought it was performances were weak

32:58 Yeah, I'd like to think the actor who played the top Durberville whatever his name was. What's the main guy? Yeah, I don't know. He not Durberville obviously i'm just kidding but I thought he couldn't act Well, the reason why I stuck with it is like the actress who played Maria. I'm like, I know her! Who the hell? And I still don't remember her real name but she's Dawn in EastEnders which is that soap has been running in the UK for 50 years Like oh that's Dawn okay and then I kind of got sucked into it. I thought it was great. I liked it. But the question is did you donate

33:36 To what? Well, it was donation drive. I have to point this out to people in the house. Yes! See those two people asking you donate they never mention the station name do they? No. It's a package they sent all of these stations of same 2 people begging for money They don't even personalize it to the local station. Yep. You see that number below? The number below call that number support your state local station this station no this station I heard him say that too but there wasn't even a tote bag. I mean it's just here's the DVD yeah it's so ineffective, they really aren't doing right anyway back to Madam Secretary and well actually I do want to come back to Armistice Day after this because I have little analysis of Macron and Trump

34:26 But this, and I'd heard about it. I hadn't seen it either in fact I still have not seen it. I really enjoy not having seen this and hearing it because we're going to hear the fantastic acting talents of...we have Hillary Clinton Colin Powell and Madeline Albright, all former Secretaries of State. And this is Madam Secretary Terry Leone playing... I believe it was the premiere episode for the new season It can be yes But it was or wasn't Well you believed and I said it can! I don't know Yeah go on You just.. okay This usage, I'm sorry No its okay Its alright

35:14 But this was clearly aligned with the messaging about nationalism, with Trump saying I'm a nationalist and just blatantly stating this is not what it means. This is what it used to mean... Well you'll hear it in this clip. It's so good of you to consult with your predecessors. We did it all the time, so thanks for asking us. Well again... The president has asked me to give a speech after the signing ceremony To address the attack on the White House You bear heavy burden Elizabeth The whole world will be watching you

35:58 No pressure. Thanks for that reminder Right no pressure Well, what do you say in the wake of a nightmare like this? You need to reassure the people that they are safe because we are resolute in our efforts to defeat this enemy well Yeah, you should hold up a vial and say this little bit could kill everybody in this whole room That would be the way to do it Elizabeth resolute in our efforts to defeat this enemy Well that's his start But I think we also have to remember that those who attacked us are Resolute too. And you will have to reassure people about The acting is really bad but It was obviously they weren't gonna do two takes

36:43 No. Well, no I think they may have it's cut together is what you're hearing that they may not have even all been there at the same time for all i know but listen one shot but Clinton you know and I heard her a couple of times I'll just mention this up front I heard in our previous interviews that we've played with Kara Swisher and all these whatever she was doing the lesbians in tech um she kept saying It's very simple. E pluribus unum, out of many one. She has been repeating this for a while and now we know why. Well that is the start but I think we also have to remember that those who attacked us are resolute too And you will have to reassure people about their safety You can remind them that we do have the world greatest military To protect and defend them But as great our military power is

37:36 That is not where our real strength lies. Absolutely, our strength lies in our core democratic values and our constitution. Elizabeth I was a little girl in London during World War II when the Germans were bombing. I learned later that three of my grandparents were murdered by the Nazis in concentration camps and so the threat of nationalism is not just a theory... So, okay. This is very good. This is Madeleine Albright who I do believe indeed she's old enough to have witnessed the bombings. I think that's probably historical. By the way do you hear how Hillary Clinton sounds exactly the same as when she's not lying?

38:17 No, she's just a monotone. When she is not acting I mean? I get the biggest kick to this day out of people who I remember years ago saying oh Hillary she is going to be the next, she is going to be first female president and the great thing about her, she is wonderful one of the greatest public speakers that ever heard Do you listen to her? Everything she talks to everyone as though they're two years old. She's in concentration camp And here we go with the nationalism So the threat of nationalism is not just a theory I went through it once and I don't intend to go through it again so she's saying that she was bombed by the Nazis and that was Nationalism, and she doesn't intend to go through nationalism again She makes quite a shortcut nationalistic threat

38:58 is really expanding and more and more countries are being caught in this trap. It's contagious, it splits us apart, it makes us more difficult to deal with the issue and becomes even more contagious. What? I don't know what is the issue, man. It's the- He says it makes it more difficult to deal with the issue by being nationalist and by being... And by the way Trump's definition of nationalism is America first. The French, by the way hugely French first for people friends of mine in the country. Of course! You buy their Renault you don't buy the Honda. A friend of mine lived in France for like five or six years and he bought a Honda Civic Yeah All he got was grief from his neighbors

39:39 Because he didn't buy French? Yeah. Right, but this is not even about that This is just about saying when the president says he's a nationalist He's actually a racist That's all that this is and it's two minutes of it It splits us apart makes us more difficult to deal with the issue and becomes even more contagious They attack what has made America great And still does and that is our diversity Look at look at us The attackers wanted to destroy them Look at you, you white folk! No I think Condi is there too.

40:16 Was Condi there too? I believe she was. So, you know Elizabeth...I think what we're all saying is talk about what unites us even at this moment of peril Remind Americans of our nation's original motto something that I think about a lot and which seems more important today than ever E Pluribus Unum Out Of Many One Hillary, You're so right because unified depend on each other America. Americans All Americans Yes! Where we go one, where we go all! Wooo! Maybe Condi wasn't there she would have jumped in on that one I thought she was Now do you want to hear the actual speech that she made after this advice?

40:59 No, no. The fake Madam Secretary! So she got this advice from Hillary, from Madeline and from Colin and then she did her speech I cut it down because it was too long of course Thank you Mr President And thank you Prime Minister Khatri Prime Minister Wadeli your courage and determination have made humankind safer from the second greatest threat it faces What is an even greater threat than nuclear weapons? That which makes the use of them possible hate

41:35 Specifically, the blind hatred one group or nation can have for another. And that is why I am convinced that nationalism is the existential threat of our time." Nationalism is not just bad! No it's not just Nazi. It's the existential threat of our time meaning Extermination of all of us. We're all going to die because of nationalism I want to be clear Nationalism is not the same as patriotism Wow That did the dictionary change let me just check this for a second um nationalism definition

42:25 Okay, noun patriotic. Patriotic feeling principles or efforts? Hmm patriotic to me. Let me try that Miriam Webster I may be doing the long one wrong loyalty and devotion to a nation okay doesn't say patriotism. That's the definition of patriotism was look at the definition of patriots is okay patriotism definition of patriotism The quality of being patriotic vigorous support for one's country Sounds like nationalism. Yeah, well according to the fake madam secretary it no longer means patriotic be clear Nationalism is not the same as patriotism It's a perversion of patriotism version of Patriotism What's that? What's the dictionary term for that if it's the opposite?

43:18 An antonym? An antonym, yes. It should be listed as an antonym in the dictionary! It's not! Perversion of patriotism... Just horrible. Let me look at the definition of perversion. I didn't need to hear that. Perversion. The alteration of something from its original course Meaning or this is the perversion. She's perverting it she yes exactly that is the perversion by saying It's no longer patriot and no longer synonymous with patriotism Yes duration of something from its original course meaning or a state to a distortion Or corruption of what was first first intended not Intended last week cheese

44:09 All right, let's continue. Distortion misrepresentation falsification travesty misinterpretation misconception twisting corruption subversion and subversion is what we're dealing with here. Nationalism the belief system held by those who attacked us promotes the idea that inclusion and diversity represent weakness. God nationalism. Hello, hello Hollywood Foundation. Norman Lear speaking. That the only way to succeed is to give blind allegiance to the supremacy of one race over all others Nothing could be less American look where isolationism has gotten us in the past

44:52 Two world wars, 70 million dead. What? Hold on a second! Because we isolated ourselves with two World Wars and 70 million dead?! We saved people's asses... WHAT!? Look what isolationism. We didn't jump into World War I that way, yeah there's isolationism there we had nothing to do with that war but we went over there...I point out in the newsletter why? Why who was picking on us? But it's worse she saying because of our isolationism which by the way you can't on one hand say it's about race white nationalists about

45:30 anybody who's not the uber race and then all of a sudden say look at what happened with isolationism. Well that's about countries not participating you can't have it both ways, its either nationalism about your national country or its nationalism about the type of people you have in your nation It's not both Or maybe is in this world Yes, this was done to confuse confuse. They couldn't really come up with a concise This doesn't work now it was a piece of propaganda that was pretty much in my opinion junk poorly executed. It was all, it had Lear Foundation written all over it when I first saw this thing. I was lazy not to clip it weeks ago. You actually saw the whole episode? Yeah, I watched it and I thought it was borderline sick and I think its offensive! How stupid do they think the public is

46:32 Okay, well, what am I saying? I was just mentioning in the last show about Prop 10 and Prop 6 in California. Prop 6 would have given you some tax money back but nobody in California wants that they want to be taxed to death and Prop 10 was going to put rent control which is a leftist idea at the base giving it back to the local towns instead of having the state run it, which they do a poor job of. Which is classic thing you should vote for but because the real estate interest came in and told all these dummies oh no no no its bad okay I'll vote No! Let's finish this up. Nothing could be less American look where isolationism has gotten us in the past two world wars 70 million debt

47:20 Never again can we go back to those dark times when fear and hatred like a contagion infected them. That, as much as ending the threat of nuclear war is what today is about And it's why we must never lose sight of our common humanity Our common values and our common decency I was reminded recently of our nation's founding motto, E Pluribus Unum. Out of many one. Did you hear what she said? Someone reminded me recently Hills. E pluribus unum so they're pushing her campaign slogan i think

48:04 I don't know why she's saying this continuously, but they pushed it in twice in this piece. They got to have something 2020 or 13 disparate colonies became one country one people and today we call on all Americans and people everywhere to reject the scourge of nationalism because governments can't legislate tolerance or eradicate hate That's why each one of us has to find the beauty in our differences Okay, I want to say just one more reiterate one more point

48:40 Our isolationism didn't get us killed in World War I and World War II. It's our abnegation of isolationism, and saying no-no we're gonna get involved in all this stuff overseas which the founding fathers by the way specifically said not to do. Don't! Don't do it yeah but we do it To the point where now we're stuck because if we still our isolationism didn't get us over there It was our dropping the idea. Yes, now it's too late now you're stuck now. We have world's policeman So I think another lie although I couldn't quite figure out what the genesis of it was is this idea that Trump

49:22 I'm so tired of it. Trump didn't want to do the wreath laying ceremony because of a little bit of rain and you know, the tweeters were just filled with what an asshole men were shoulder-to-shoulder millions of them in the trenches for weeks on end in the rain in the mud and our stupid ass president can't even... raindrops keep falling on his head Meanwhile once I saw the wreath laying thing I'm like oh no wonder Did you see all the photos of Merkel and Macron? They're walking in the meadow hand-in-hand. She's nuzzling up to him, I'm not kidding! Kisses him behind his...you know on the back of his cheek Who wants to be a part of that visual?!

50:09 Here's a little press clipping of it. It has been the scene of triumph and shame in two world wars, and on Saturday for the first time since World War II, a French and German leader returned to a clearing in Compagnie Forest inside a replica of the train wagon which the armistice ending World War I was signed and to which Hitler returned to take the French surrender in 1940 before destroying the site. Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel unveiled a plaque and signed a guest book The wagon was rebuilt along with the site after World War II in part in homage to Marichal Foch, the Great Wars supreme Allied commander. A statue of Foch is also at the site which holds powerful symbolism for the two nations once fierce rivals and now united as the driving force behind the European Union a partnership Macron and Merkel seem to be saying

50:59 that would remain eternal long after their passing. Oh, please! We all know the next war will be French France and Germany it's always the same But I think what was overlooked possibly is that Trump probably had his meeting with Putin while everyone was at the ceremony. In fact, there's another piece of video where Putin jumps out of the lineup runs over to Trump shakes hands thumbs up goes back you know it's like oh yeah they got something going on their brewing on something But the irony of all of this, as we celebrate peace a hundred years. The armistice of you know the Peace World War I it was the war to end all wars! The irony of it is that what was really being discussed was war stuff

51:46 Yeah, I mean right. So Trump is on the plane then apparently Macron says somewhere well you know we got to have our own army here in Europe we gotta be yeah you know we can't always trust the US it's a little more nuanced if in the French version but you know with Russia China whatever it is we need more war stuff Trump then immediately starts tweeting saying yeah well this is rude since And then they sit down together, and again you gotta listen to what Trump's saying. I think what happened is he had a quick chat with him... By the way Macron is touching him the whole time He's patting him on the legs, touching his knee, touching him on the arm The whole time it's.. You know which that's actually when someone does that It's odd but maybe they're great buddies? I don't know

52:37 But it sounds to me like the conversation went something like this. Yeah, okay what I meant to say was yeah we're probably going to buy more stuff from America to beef up our side of the equation. I think Trump is there on a weapons call! I think he's there selling. He thinks okay Macron you want to buy some? No he was pretty sedate the whole time while he was there i have the CBS rundown of this which is in my minute 40 14. This trump meets macron Yeah, I hear that. Because they also have the full audio. Trump vented on Twitter about the president of France The two leaders brushed it off. Weijia Zheng is traveling with the President. We have become very good friends over the last couple years. President Trump and President Emmanuel Macron put their good friendship on display with the body language to prove it They also found a common message to tamp down their ongoing conflict over defense spending

53:35 I do share President Trump's view that we need a much better burden sharing within NATO. I appreciate what you're saying about burden sharing. But minutes before landing in Paris, the president tweeted... Wow! ...President Macron of France has just suggested that Europe build its own military in order to protect itself from the US China and Russia very insulting Mr. Trump was asked about the tweet along from the standpoint of fairness and I want it to be fair. President Trump and the first lady attended a social luncheon with their French counterparts but they scrapped a scheduled visit to an American cemetery citing bad weather meanwhile, The president continues to deal with the backlash over acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker who will oversee this special counsel's investigation into Russian meddling

54:25 Now, that's a very dishonest report. I mean extremely dishonest! I'll play you the actual audio from that meeting between the two. Macron is groveling! It didn't sound like it's like he was groveling in that report did it no? That's not the impression we were given from the standpoint of fairness, and I want to be fair We want to help Europe But it has to be fair right now the burden-sharing has been largely on the United States as the president will say he understands it And he understands that The United States can only do so much

55:01 in fairness to the United States. So we've, uh... We're rebuilding our military we just had approved 716 billion dollars the year before that one did 700 billion so we were almost completely rebuilding our military with the latest and greatest and we want- we just want absolutely be there we wanna help. You actually wanna be there? I don't know what the bids or whatever? Yeah. But but different countries have to also help. That's only fair and I think the president we've already discussed this and the president very much agree on that. I do agree, I think it we work closely together in Syria. President Trump remind you what happened as a certain of April is talking about the 13th of April when America, the Brits and the French bombed Syria. The superb operation against chemical weapons there.

55:55 And we work very closely together in Middle East, in Africa and so on. But it's unfair to have the European security today. being assured just by the United States, and we need a much better budget. That's why I do believe that we need more European capacities, more European defense in order to take this part of the burden what President Trump has to protect or defend one of the states of the United States he doesn't ask France or Germany or another government of Europe finances it. That is why you believe that we need more investment It is exactly what we are doing with France

56:33 It's the first increase in terms of budget for defense. For the coming year, we will reach a 2%. But that one I do believe that we need more." The CBS report could not have been further from what was said from the truth! He is saying the president is right We're upping our budget and we are going to have more stuff it's no fair America paying for that When Trump needs help he doesn't call us None of this was in the report Nope And this surprises you? Well, no. You know I don't think I have the clip there was a like two or three rallies ago that the president did and I don't know if i just forgot to play it but someone had a medical issue a medical episode and you might have seen it Trump actually stopped everything Stopped the rally. Stopped the rally and it was a good five maybe ten minutes

57:27 And then near the end, everyone was reasonably quiet. People started singing Amazing Grace It was really a beautiful moment for it's like holy crap are they singing? and it just kind of swelled up from nowhere and was very very...it was a nice human humane experience I mean, even I forgot to play the clip. We're so not used to that but there's nice by omission sometimes it's so slanted what's being portrayed. Yeah that's why you do it. That's the trick. Omission is the best way to do it really is. Well omission is what The Right has always bitched about the conservative media is... It's not that people can't do their reporting and it's just as what's this and it's not what they put in its what they leave out. Leave out yes

58:12 And I'm going to take it right to, I'm gonna take it right to what my biggest complaint is and what they're leaving out. Which is Young Kim! Yes you know young kim apparently has been around for a while? Yeah well she was I think chief of staff or Royce... No I think someone sent us a note that she'd actually been in congress in 2014 It's not the first time she... Well, we don't season up to figure out. We just go to quite a book of knowledge day But I'm pretty sure that but anyway you what y'all look her up and you tell the story about young Kim worth That was that it she no? I've got some clips ah okay now

59:02 She was a state legislator. Ah, okay and she was the first Korean American to become state legislature in California. Then she went to Congress. Gotcha but wasn't in congress and became a state legislator nobody does that right I hear you But she uh so but she was not mentioned In fact at all She hasn't yet to be mentioned in fact is it yeah? But I'm finding another peculiarity let's see if everything on young Kim. I think of a clip where they talk about this, I think it's Shields and Brooks. Here it is Shields and Brooks 33 of 34 women replay this little just a little short clip. 33 out of 34 women elected to the House for the first time but we're Democrats. Wait she's the 34th? No

59:52 No, the 34th is Carol Miller. She's the Republican if you go to a roll call which is serving the public since 1955 as the great congressional following operation meet Carol Miller she could be the only new Republican woman coming to Congress next year. The GOP's only woman so far will represent West Virginia's third district and they have a picture they like to promote this woman she's one of those old older women that has like kind of the bleached, kind of the Burns and Montgomery Burns from their Simpsons kind of skin. It's too white and it's all wrinkly and she has to wear sunglasses in a hat

1:00:37 She won't even wear some bronzer or anything. But then listen to the beginning of this... The outrage, not even wearing bronzer! Think of the people! If you look at this picture of her it's like oh yeah I know that's a white woman. I'm gonna read you the first line of this article about Carol Miller Among the 33 new women elected to the House this week, only one is a Republican. The 33 meme is in play and I realize it with the Brooks and Shields comment. Now this has taken further with Democracy Now! refuses to talk about it

1:01:21 And the thing that I've also noticed is that there's another woman, you know because they keep talking about the two Muslims who got elected. Yes yes Well who are these two Muslims? Are they both in Minneapolis or Minnesota or just one? No no play the Two Muslim Women diversity clip from CBS from our last show It appears diversity was perhaps the biggest winner in this year's midterm elections, which saw a record number of women run for office. Jim Axelrod introduces us to two from the class of 2018 While Election Day marked its fair share of firsts, the stories of two particular trailblazers may well carry the most power. That is if you're taking their measure not by where they finished their journeys but from where they started. We are done waiting!

1:02:14 In Minnesota, 36-year old Yilhan Omar became the first ever Somali American elected to Congress. Here in Minnesota it's a cold state but the people have warm hearts and we don't just welcome immigrants but we send them to Washington. Born in Somalia she and her family fled the violence of civil war when she was eight after years at a refugee camp in Kenya She immigrated here when she was 12 learning English in three months and mastering politics in the years that followed. I'm proud to be able to bring my voice out... 27-year old Democrat Safiyyah Wazir is the first refugee ever elected to New Hampshire's statehouse Her family fled Afghanistan and the Taliban 21 years ago, spent 10 years in a refugee camp before making their way here She studied the dictionary at night

1:03:08 to learn English. One thing a younger generation could do is the energy that you have, you want to be the advocate for seniors and young people and working families These days our politics clearly can frustrate anger and divide but these two winners provide a much-needed reminder our elections still have the power to inspire. Another young Kim that nobody wants to talk about. Wait, there's more than one Young Kim? Well I'm saying somebody that has been obviously blackballed from coverage She is a radicals' radical this Talib woman she is from Detroit and she's new wait so they don't even mention her? This is the first time hearing the name Yeah well that's proof They don't even mention her The only people who know Is she democrat

1:04:10 Democrat socialist. That's why she's in the AOC camp? Yes, yeah another marginalized or she can't even get paid to get an apartment so let's go with Tlaib which is spelled t-l-a-i-b And with this go the Tlaib intro by Amy and tell me, tell me kind of the earmarks of this little celebration. Some of the other stuff about this woman you'll get a kick out of it. Tuesday evening Palestinian American Rashida Tlaib in Michigan and Somali-American Ilhan Omar in Minnesota became the first Muslim women elected to Congress. Hold on! They don't even mention that Afghani woman from New Hampshire? No but that's just... This is all segmenting. It's unbelievable to me

1:04:55 Really? A democratic socialist who supports the Palestinian right of return in a one-state solution. She also supports Medicare for all, a $15 minimum wage... I think 15 minute minimum wage is better. ...abolishing ICE. The child of immigrants, Tlaib has spoken out against the Trump administration's travel bans. This is Rashida Tlaib celebrating her historic victory I want you to know my mom, who's from a small village in the West Bank. They're literally glued... It's like 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock in the morning and now it's more than that! They are glued to the TV My grandmother, my aunts, my uncles in Palestine are sitting back and watching their granddaughter.

1:05:56 We got some Iranian women in the audience I hear. Palestinians do the same thing in America. Oh, they do? Palestinians do it too? I want them to know! You know as I uplift the families of the 13th Congressional District... ...I'll uplift them every single day being who I am as a proud Palestinian-American woman. In 2016, Rashida Tlaib made news when she confronted then-candidate Donald Trump at the Detroit Economic Club. She got up and shouted, have you ever read the U.S. Constitution? She was taken out by security. She was removed. Use your proper words! Taken out! She wasn't taken out, she was removed.

1:06:43 We did grab both replaces that old hack that just a senile fart John Conyers is now 89. Oh, geez Yes Okay, he's gone. He's just so you it was useless but well I had the last decade Yeah No So so she gets it does an interview with her and she has a bunch of interesting things I think are worth playing these are all short clips because they're just I mean She's already full of herself She's you know Let's just put this in perspective for a second. So, this is DSA, Democrat Socialists of America same as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who has been completely sidelined marginalized not it is also not mentioned in many of these news reports the way we expected because she is of course that the shining light to the hero yeah and I believe

1:07:34 Yeah, and she stands for the same things. It's Medicare for all free school for everybody no borders No borders Ice has got to go no ice Right yes Okay All right without even being stepping could now she at the difference between of course AOC and this woman And the other woman and some of these other people is that I? referring to young Kim, young Kim was the state legislature. Rashida is also a state legislator that moved up so that makes, you know, it's just going on. She's 20 minutes stupid. So

1:08:10 So let's say what she's already got her mind made up a bunch of things. She hasn't even stepped foot in office yet. Let's listen to her on the, on what is she going to do? Will she impeach Trump? Will you try to impeach President Trump? Let me guess the answer. Hmm...let me think. Oh, let me see I think she would say She wouldn't just say yes, she'd say as soon as possible first order of business. Yes I truly believe that he's obstructing justice it is very clear that something is wrong within our own government you can like the man but I could tell you

1:08:47 I know you like the rule of law more and in America there is laws that we all follow. There is laws, baby! There are many laws to follow that we should equally be held accountable too and I can tell you very strongly this isn't political for me He could be a democratic president and I would still say the same thing Obstruction of justice as an attorney myself I need to straight, is it the Democratic Party or the Democrat Party? What what is the actually... It's technically the Democrats party. So why she saying democratic president if she's a member of the Democrat party

1:09:26 It's pretty much saying he's just used, it's just flipped around. I don't like it for me. He could be a Democratic president and I would still say the same thing. Obstruction of justice and as an attorney myself, I can tell you when we start kind of turning our heads and letting little bit of things slip by like what we've seen in the last few days We are jeopardizing our own democracy. We are jeopardizing that accountability and that balance of government that's there, that is so critical for us to live in a free country. We cannot allow him to... So this is very typical response as 19 seconds left it's not no examples just saying things has she said yet enemy of the people? The press freedom that's got to be in here. Taint this process that's there for a reason

1:10:15 And I'm very much willing to start investigating and leaning towards that if he has anything to do with obstructing justice. It pretty much sounds like he is trying to sway this investigation and trying to make sure that he protects himself instead of protecting our own country. Way to go! Where's she from? Michigan, Detroit. Way to go, Michigan Detroit. Let's hear, yeah well Conyers... Geez! Yeah but I mean... They kept electing him. Let's listen to what she says on Pelosi you think that she's gonna support Pelosi?

1:10:52 Well, Pelosi doesn't seem to be supporting her. So I would say no Will you support Nancy Pelosi who's just announced she will go for the House speakership? You know i'm really so much focused on helping the other women of color. I mean I don't know if you know it's not just me and Ilhan Omar but some of the youngest members of Congress beautiful colors of women are coming into the United States Congress from Ayanna Haye, Ayanna to Jahana Deb Haaland to the beautiful Sharice Davids. We have such an incredible class that is coming and I'm so focused on really trying to uplift him, to lean on each other, to making sure that we are able to serve the families in the residents that believed in us back home very effectively. Now if I were doing anti-democrat party news reporting the way I see it on television about Trump specifically

1:11:50 Whereas he was dancing on the graves of those who didn't want his support, who didn't support him. The Never Trumpers Look what's happening with the Never Pelosi's with the DSAs They are they're not being danced on their graves because they won worse They're being ignored there being when you said compartmentalized being shut out completely from the party And these are the exact people that diversity is supposed to uplift. And so we want to focus really on that and focus on making sure that we have a seat at the table, that we can truly be heard not just displayed as like oh look our caucus is now diverse great now put us at a table where we could actually have a voice where we can actually feel like we can make a difference in a lot of the issues that we feel isn't critically important for our families back home

1:12:39 In other words, no. No she does not support Pelosi. I have one more where she tries to explain what democratic socialism is. My favorite question yes. You're a member of Democratic Socialists in America. Explain what democratic socialism is? Yes! You know for me right now in Detroit this means I have fought so heavily against corporate tax breaks, especially because—I've seen our schools in Detroit close down. I mean, close to 60 schools have already closed down in the city of Detroit while we're channeling public money and government—you know, these are our own taxes into a hockey stadium, the Red Wings Hockey Stadium downtown Detroit.

1:13:25 Sixty percent of the funds that went towards a hockey stadium, that could have gone to schools—we're talking about $400 million away from schools into an adult playground. A for-profit industry. That to me is completely unacceptable. unethical, immoral. And for me it means living in a just fair equitable society and that is not fair when you have billionaires in the corporate welfare line when our children are still hungry, when our schools are still underfunded where I can't even get You know our fire hydrants in some of our neighborhoods fixed or I can't even understand right now the lack of resources that we have to deal with the increase in concentration of poverty and many of the neighborhoods it's wrong and And truly to me against what I do what I believe is the role of government, which is this should be about people not corporations. Oh Okay. Well thanks for at the end there about people not corporations and fire hydrants

1:14:27 Well, I didn't learn anything about democratic socialism. It's about people not corporations Yeah Which is just the bromide again? A trope yeah it's a trope It's a trope Before we take a break i saw one of our friends yesterday okay friend you introduced me to many many many moons ago in the beginning of The No Agenda Show I got it I got a tweet on Friday Is it a female no Okay, I got a tweet on Friday from Roger McGuinn. Oh yeah Roger and he's he was in Austin The final show of his sweetheart of the rodeo album the 50th 50th anniversary tour Yeah They said hey once you come by like I tell you when one at one that one of the birds tweets You I think that's cred look a little bit Roger McGuinn man actually not just Roger Chris Hillman Marty Stewart they were doing this

1:15:29 This was a very interesting show that he did. You know, very bluegrass and everything but he says hi by the way I'm back when you said, did you go to the concert? Of course. I did we went backstage Camilla was there We hung out a little bit and the thing with Roger is You know he text me like okay got back backstage passes for yet will call us like okay. We're walking over Are you there yet so now we're getting there. I'm here yeah He's like he's the star of the show he's like standing by will call Ready to take his backstage And you know how he talks to talk like this it's very soft very soft spoken when he speaks so

1:16:06 Anyway, so great time. It was just fun to see him again. He's 76 now! He looks pretty good. Yeah he does well he exercises bicycles. Oh really? You don't think there is any Botox going on do you think? Not really. I would doubt it's possible. He's smooth man his face is smooth look, I'm 54 so... Maybe he had a grind? A grind?! What is this procedure called to grind? Anyway he did give me one great idea which I wanted to share because this may be our ticket out of here mine for sure. My ticket out of this godforsaken gig! Are you gonna leave me stuck!? Well maybe maybe I can work into it. I'm not worried about it So here's what he says

1:16:57 He says, they have been around the world... Actually you know he doesn't like to fly. And in fact they were hopping in the van and driving back to Florida last night. Yeah their van. Their van. So he says we've been around the world for free and Camillo starts explaining how this whole thing works is the cruise lines They've been on 30 cruises first class around the world and here's how they do it They sell a Roger McGuinn lecture, 45 minutes. Two lectures during the whole cruise and then you get all your food and drink for free! I'm like this is great! He says oh you could do this so easy but yeah you're Roger McGuinn You tell the story, pick up the guitar and play tambourine man. No just get a powerpoint and tell stories about music videos Play some music videos

1:17:47 And Tina's going, yeah I'll help you put that presentation together. Like this is a great idea! You could do it and he says that the audience is just about Cruz taken age right now Yeah, I think so. I think this is an exciting prospect. I think you should go for it. And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage in saying the morning news John C stands for Centenary Dvorak Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry In the morning...

1:22:52 Brian Malinowski, Parts Unknown. See email for note? Oh okay well I have his note right here. That's good! I planned ahead It does happen once every few months. ITM Jentz, long-time boner first time donor been listening religiously since early 2012 when I had a two hour commute to work twice weekly." Well that's when people listen... That's terrible commute! Coincidence? I think not the media deconstruction you two have done has completely changed the way i view media and world events The NOAA agenda shows my only source for news as I ditch cable Yeah, I hear a lot of people say... Space Force! Oops. Sorry. Shut up! A lot of people say that too. Sorry. Space Force!

1:23:39 Yes. You hear a lot of people say that they ditch cable? No, they say that they use no agenda as the primary news resource and I'll say that in general we're still obviously certainly in this time since we deconstruct media were very beholden to the US media so it's a lot of Trump Trump Trump but if I open the European newspapers there is a lot of Trump Trump Trump today as well But yeah, I think you get to Australia. Same thing. Yeah, I think we give you enough to get by and hang out at the water cooler or your coffee clotch? You can hang in there! The camaraderie that both of you have mixed with the playful bickering makes for not only an informative but entertaining show. I'm hoping this show continues for infinity. Yes please do no confuse professionalism with camaraderie This is something that I always wondered about John but never heard

1:24:32 In the many years that I've been following him. John, do you use the keyboard layout that your uncle created? Or get any royalty checks for those... ...that choose to use it as their primary keyboard? You're talking about the Dvorak Keyboard of course? That wasn't your uncle?! It's a relative his name is Dvorak Yeah okay so was the classical composer i guess yeah and i have a hand that goes over an octave no i don't I find it's the problem is, it's inconvenient. If you go from machine to machine to machine and then when you use somebody else's machine... Have you ever learned a Dvorak keyboard? No, I can barely type. Does anyone use a Dvorak keyboard seriously? Yeah! There are people who still use it really. Oh yeah. They swear by it. Thanks again for all the work that both of you put into this show. Jingles sawing noise ISO of the ISIS beheadings Her head has gone and my little girl And the little girl yay karma

And then last on this list with two associate executives is Jim Bennett in Toronto, Toronto they? $213 and 31 cents.

1:27:00 I just received my green Space Force t-shirt in the mail. Absolutely fantastic! Space Force, a genuine tactile representation of the show My wife rolled her eyes when i put it on But who cares? She's long gone What?! The kids are on the other hand all want their own shirts Dude... Did he just...? throw his wife under the bus or is she actually gone? Maybe she left her room. Alright, well get the kids a space for it to T-shirt. Noagendashop.com which is nice because the way that works

1:27:43 The artist gets a piece of the sale, the guy's at No Agenda shop keepeth third and they give us a third to the show. So it's fantastic. Give us money once in awhile Why don't you give him just a karma for keeping his marriage together? Yeah relationship karma for sure. You've got Karma All right that's it for our executive... we have two producers today how many execs did we have Three three. Okay, wow nice okay? So yeah sir Kirk Milton Cuevas and Sir Sandra Hawks Bergen Baron of the ups Thank you for being our executive producers and of course our associate executive producers just like Hollywood these are real credits and When you get a real credit you can usually get other gigs with it It's strange how it works or you can just just say hey I'm a producer Hey baby. I'm a producer What do you want to drink they did get a business card with us if he could pick up chicks out

1:28:37 Or dudes, whatever you're into. And we'll be thanking more people $50 and above in our second segment again thank you so much another show coming up on Thursday You never know what will happen but we do need your support and again thanks to our execs and our associate executive producers for Show 1085 devorak.org slash n-a I would suggest go over to your wife and softly propagate the formula Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth Order Squirrel I'd like to start this part off with a little sideways clip. This is the kind of thing, I think would have got a lot more attention if we didn't have Trump as president and it was a slower news day and people weren't shooting each other in the state of California wasn't on fire as it is every year. Yes by the way The last time Malibu burned down was 93. I remember not that much this is new

1:29:45 Chinese robot anchor. Ah, yes! I think i might be in trouble China has developed a virtual anchor to deliver the news watch this Hello everyone, Im an English artificial intelligence anchor This is my very first day in Xinhua News Agency My voice and appearance are modeled on Zhang Zhao A real anchor with Xinhua The development of the media industry calls for continuous innovation And deep integration with international advanced technologies Well, that was exciting. What do you think? What do you think sort of absence of personality as absolutely No charisma and they didn't even pronounce see wah correctly part if you say But my point the point is that they can work tirelessly 24 hours a day no difficult contract negotiations to go through as well vacation no vacations but how would they deal with humor

1:30:36 Or breaking... Well they don't because it would have to be a single anchor. Two of them together wouldn't be able to interact and they're basically repeating what's being texted in, someone writing in the text. Well you had to go into Fox Business News to get a clip of this I find this to be stupid That's Varney on Fox business isn't he? No its not true that I had another clip but I just liked this one better This is the stupidest thing I've seen Why is this a great story I think this is the future. The thing is there's a very popular robot woman in Japan, I can't remember her name but people will find it. I thought it was Korea. I thought it was Korea. I thought it was Japan. Could be could be

1:31:19 Yeah, she's just a virtual character and she sounds very believable and she looks believable And they have it I you know these guys everyone keeps doesn't want to admit to this is saying You know these news readers in particular Are very expensive readers. Yes? Yeah, no I the irony of that some of these guys get millions of dollars a year most of them yeah most of them And if you get some of those, just have some schlubbs writing the copies. They're not writing their own copy. Alright well let's just step back for a second. Let's just step back for one second because there are couple things going on here I also had a clip except that I only had the clip of this stupid thing talking hold on uh did i even pull the clip of it? Maybe I didn't oh yeah

1:32:04 Let me just hear Mike but maybe the same hello everyone in many English artificial intelligence anchor This is my very first day in sing one news agency. Okay, so this is being touted as AI and a I Newsreader uh No, it's just CGI This has been as you point out in Japan or Korea wherever it is there's a very believable looking CGI representation of a female presenter on television. This is not AI, this is nothing...this like it's a cartoon! It's a better version of a cartoon. There is no such thing as A-I. But it's being touted as an A-I newsreader but I think it's being touted as A-I but I think the um.. I think you're right that they want this to be the future and the irony is that all these talking heads who just read a script

1:33:02 I will never lose my money. And current state, no! Stop right there. Do you remember the era of the overpaid disc jockey during the morning commute hours that used to be like in the 60s and 70s? They'd make... In the 60s and 70s they'd make $750,000 which is equivalent about seven million dollars today with today's money. Yep Some 80s and 90's were still making that kind of money. Sure, yeah well yes what happened to them? Well that went away when the internet came in I think it went away before that no up until 2000 certainly in P1 markets talk some radio talk here with you morning show guys were making a million bucks Adam Carolla that's why he could go start a podcast because he's making millions doing

1:33:57 And that was not that long ago. But it certainly became a lot worse just because of more ways to get your top 40 music and more ways to be entertained, this is the problem with everything so these prices have gone down dramatically across the board on all cable and Al Sharpton's probably the last guy to make a lot of money But yeah, the irony is not lost on me that eventually I guess. People want some humanity. I don't think this will ever work. Really, I just don't see it and I think more importantly people want to hear you mess up something I learned very early on. I was obsessed in my when i was 19 just start on TV. I wanted to get there! I wanted do it exactly right we weren't using prompters. I've memorized my lines

1:34:45 In my the first couple of years I was doing television. I would memorize what I was gonna say and Yeah, I noticed that if I flubbed and If I you know made a joke out of it or somehow Fixed it wasn't too embarrassed people like that more than they worried about a flub They didn't care now so you have to build that into your AI to make it human but People want humanity this is not I do not Write it down in the book. I don't think this is gonna- This is not the future, It's not the future a lot of things are the future. I'm taking the robot side on this one You take the robot side What isn our future? Is this story Say that an Amazon Echo may help prove who killed two women in Farmington New Hampshire The victims were found murdered in a home on meter borough Road back in 2017 police arrested Timothy Verrill for the crimes and

1:35:40 Investigators believe that the entire attack was recorded on the victim's Amazon Echo in the kitchen. A judge has now ordered Amazon to provide any audio recordings from the speaker. Verrill has pleaded not guilty in this case. Well, this will be very interesting if this thing recorded anything because it is only supposed to record after a wake word is issued And so there's probable cause for some reason. Looks like the judge is just not technically savvy, maybe that's he got convinced easily that there's probable cause if there's a recording of these murders I mean doesn't seem probable but if there is recording well then yeah then we have some issues

1:36:23 Well, what would you do? You're Amazon and the legal team. Yes hello It depends a lot on how this was presented with the request Was it a subpoena? Was it just a request, a judicial request? What was it? And what would you as the legal team...you're the legal guy over there What are you gonna say because you know that Jeff Bezos if they are recording everything you do They don't want that out The Stafford County Superior Court presiding Justice Stephen M Huron compelled Amazon to disclose not only the audio files but any associated data such as what phones were paired to these smart speaker that may be connected to the January 2017 murder of Christine Sullivan and Jenna Pellegrini. So, the judge ordered any and all recordings in all data from this talking tube

1:37:18 How are you going to deal with that, lawyer? What I'm Amazon's lawyer. Yeah. Well if the judge compels me just give it up why not because there is worse publicity than you can get that means this thing is listening to everything you do. It has got a microphone over...I don't think so either. There's a micro because its too much. Why save all this stupid data But it's got a microphone array that can pretty much pick up anything in a couple of rooms. Yeah, it's good at that but I just don't... if there are recordings of that then there is definitely a problem What's the trigger word for Alexa? You can set Alexa or Echo Alexa or Echo? If say Alexa No no, I think everyone has a program for Alexa you can only do Alexa or Echo as far as them Or Amazon, I think we call it Amazon

1:38:11 What happened to yours? You had one. Uh, what happened... Well I had the one that i built and you got very annoyed by it. Because it was terrible! It was slow? You're the one that got annoyed by it, not me. Oh okay sure No you said it was too slow...it was taking too long to do what I had to do and all the rest of but what did you just take the other stuff and just toss it with no I still use it I use it at home I use it for a to take notes and lists and it's Amazon or they know the new one the new the mycroft m y c r o f T which is open source and it does not it's slow that's the problem it's slow because you know it's

1:38:49 It doesn't have the resources of Amazon behind it. You know, it's running on a raspberry pie so... It doesn't shoot out to the cloud and get processed by a million cycles per millisecond So it takes a little bit longer for it to give an answer But still there are three things you use it for Turn the lights on turn the lights off Add something into shopping list And how old is somebody? That's all we use it for All right, well sounds like something you can use it for. I have a couple of clips from the KQED or KQED the PBS News Hour they have Shields and Brooks Is this more political stuff about America? Well not all of it Okay cuz I'm really tired of these just assholes the whole time It's completely debilitating

1:39:42 And it's and it always winds up with us saying these guys are idiots. Hey a thousand eighty-five episodes We've had a good run John well now you're planning your tour on I'm already on the Pacific Princess on the Lido deck Probably ran into Leo who does a lot of those? Oh, okay? Well maybe this is not such a great idea then anyway So I'm watching Shields and Brooks, yeah it's a little political because these guys are both nuts. But there are some oddities in here. I got one...I want to know if you can even play this clip? This is Shields and Brooks weird intro. You may remember there was an election earlier this week. Look yesterday Lisa Desjardins our political team did a wonderful breakdown looking at the new Congress she called it a generational change

1:40:31 Okay, what was so weird about it? Well there's two weird things one that was an og vorbis clip that you played yes I know. I can eat that oh good We're open source found I found a cognitive cognitive dissonance Structure that bothers me because it doesn't make sense and I can't I know how to resolve it But she says last Tuesday There as you know there was an election in But Lisa Desjardins talked about the election with a report on the newcomers. The use of the word but... Oh, let me listen again You may remember there was an election earlier this week Look yesterday Lisa Desjardins and our political team did a wonderful breakdown looking at the new Congress She called it a generational change Could that also just be a word she inserted just to get her because she was laughing I think she ad-libbed

1:41:31 And then she went to get back to the prompter, because she hear her go, uh... But I think it was just- It wasn't in the script. In my mind. So she could have used and which is what you should have used She's not even as good at that AI from China Well that's why do want an AI Then you have Shields & Brooks This is another of those These are all short 19 seconds 10 seconds Uh this is Brooks saying he's most alarmed And it's like, why would anybody be alarmed by what he just about to say? And Brooks is the guy who is supposed to be a Republican but he's a Democrat. And Shields is like the progressive Democrat who's supposed to be a Democrat. Most alarmed by was- Oh no this is Shields I'm sorry this is Shields not Brooks and he's alarmed by everything

1:42:24 Well, he's left. He's crazy a leftist most alarmed by was the president's announcement that it was a great victory for Republicans. The Republicans lost more seats than they did under Ronald Reagan or George W Bush both of whom accepted the fact that the party had suffered shellacking and I was particularly struck. He never mentions Obama Of course who is shellacked But he was just alarmed by this. And we have to go back and remember that Trump was, you know kind of raised by Norman Vincent Peale the positive power of power... Yes! Power of positive positivity. Why is this a bad thing? You know I don't-I'm not quite getting that fact that they hate him for being positive all right here's another one

1:43:15 This is the irony statement and I want you to listen to this and tell me exactly where is the irony that is claimed. And, and I think, I think that the victory David and I disagree on this. It was enormous personal victory in political victory for Nancy Pelosi I really do. She was the one who passed health care in 2009 almost single-handedly, and the party paid for it in 2010 and ironically in 2018 It was the issue Yeah, I don't know where the irony comes from Where's the irony? It's not irony. There is no irony He just throws in the word ironically

1:43:55 No, there's no annoying by the way that people do these sorts of things. Well irony is very misunderstood as a term I think I used it correctly earlier when I said the irony of celebrating Armistice Day and talking about war and Yes, that's iron very good example That's irony And I thought but I had to think about it because irony is just thrown around It's so ironic isn't it which is used for surprising disappointings use for many things but irony Yes, it seems to be just kind of a word you use for no good reason. And then the last one I'm not going to play that there's more but I want to play this was another show is a little longer but this is Brooks This time It Is Brooks who if you remember all the during the run up to the 2016 election he would be the guy and

1:44:46 Tons of these clips. He'd say, oh well Trump's got a 25% base and no one's ever when he gets into the general election or the next level He can't get more than twenty five percent all pathy no path you know, but then it can't get more than 35%. This is that limit You can't get 30. Well, I'm not worried about him winning the presidency because he can't get more than 40% He's always got these like these percent things in his brain that he's boys got a new one Okay Let's try it. So, both of you have noted that demographically there were huge shifts with this new Congress. Absolutely But they were largely in one party and not the other That is a fair assessment David what do you make about looking forward at our biggest and strongest two parties? One path is clearly moving towards more representation to the general public And one not so much Yeah well, couple things First Donald Trump seems to walled himself in with 45% of the electorate

1:45:42 And so he's built some pretty strong barriers. It's hard to see people leaving and coming in a second it should be said that for all there was a blue wave or of huge surge in turnout for the Democrats There was also a huge surgeon turn out from Republicans and to me that is basically the white working class saying we're still hurting You know, some of it may have to do with capital hearings and things like that. But life in rural areas is still marked by huge numbers of men outside the labor force. Uh you've got jobs that are part-time in the gig economy. You've still got a lot of economic strain and those people just came out because they're stil hurting. Now can this party get outside that 45%? I don't think so

1:46:28 Another proclamation, okay. So the 45% he's just pulling that and what was the point here is just pulling out of thin air That means it's limited because this is a basic theory for the last two years Oh you can't win cuz he only has forty five percent Yeah in this case well Okay all right now let please allow me to present you some unhinged clips about politics in America Because you know you're playing intellectuals who are saying nothing which is humorous to us But no one that I know watches Brooks and Shields anymore. Except you. I think these guys have become completely irrelevant. I think these guys are just... they've talked themselves out of relevance

1:47:11 And the people that are being believed as the true bastions of honesty and truth are late night talk show guys, really I would say Bill Maher. But how about Seth Meyers? Let's have a look at Seth Meyers as he takes a closer look at the Democrats taking control of the House. Democrats closing message was primarily about health care Trump on the other hand tried to scare people with racist conspiracy theories about the migrant caravan What was the conspiracy theory about the migrant caravan? Did he have a conspiracy theory or did you say it's an invasion. It's not quite a conspiracy theory being a theorist myself, but okay I'll let you slide. Headed towards the southern border Trump's advisors pleaded with him to talk about something else like the economy and Trump tried but admitted he found the subject boring And what job numbers we had today did you hear?

1:48:06 Well, we'll go into that. They all say speak about the economy! Speak about the economy! Well... We have the greatest economy in the history of our country but sometimes it's not as exciting to talk about the economy right? That's talking about the economy He didn't say it was boring either Seth Meyers just said he thought it was boring So he plays this whipsaw clip anyway Did you hear well if not too bad cuz I'm not gonna tell you I'm sorry, i'm missing that humor. That's the president saying the economy is boring Dude the economy is your number one job Oh no No, no, no, no, you know The economy is not your number one job at all fact check false

1:48:57 Uphold and defend the Constitution. Shut up Seth Meyers! All right, let's go to MSNBC That's where we found Michael Moore with uh... What's our buddy? Not Matthews. Is it Matthews who was on MSNBC? Chris Matthews? It was a Stop The Hammering guy Oh, O'Donnell. Larry O'Donnell. Let's listen to Mike Gomore Absolutely you're so right to say that and your right imagine if we hadn't won on Tuesday night First of all I think there were so many people anticipating that possibility after what happened in 2016 I heard the pharmaceutical companies were actually developing an antidepressant just for Democrats a democratic antidepressants

1:49:39 That actually brings up the point. Where was all the revolting and the demonstrating and the rioting? I think everything went pretty peacefully, didn't it? The midterm elections there was no fracas, there was nothing going on No, there's that thing you went to. Yeah but that was after the election there's no rioting anywhere it was all calm okay so it seems good but yet the Democrats and everyone on the left had to have antidepressants and take drugs we're all freaking out But fortunately they don't need that now, they can go back to the lattes and cappuccinos. Oh yeah exactly! Go back to your lattes and cappuccinos he's actually saying it right for once For their medicinal purposes but seriously though I'll be here all week This is so critical what's going on in the Justice Department because what you have now we already had a constitutional crisis with Trump

1:50:36 behavior prior to the election. We know... Yeah, no just he doesn't know what it is but he's gonna there's only one way you can go we've already had constitutional crisis were all going to die so what do you do when your already at peak constitutional crisis? With Trumps behavior prior to the election. We now have a constitutional crisis within the constitutional crisis. What?! We have a constitutional crisis within the constitutional crisis! It could not be be any worse. We now have a state of emergency within the state of emergency. Oh my god, grab my AR-15! Does he ever explain what he's talking about?

1:51:20 I think he'll try. He has 30 seconds, he'll give it a shot! Very dangerous we live in a country now where an American can go into a bar and kill 12 people could go into a synagogue and kill 11 people can go to a Kroger looking for black people and kill black people this... We are in a very very dangerous situation all of us have to be up and active we have to be on guard And Ruth Bader Ginsburg, if you're recovering tonight and watching this seriously I would do anything for you. I would literally donate a rib for you although my ribs might not be it might take up your whole body but I'm just saying... He's really on a roll! The jokes are just one after another

1:52:05 We've got a lot of things in front of us here, a lot on our plate Lawrence. But the people are going to be heard and they're not going away just because they won on Tuesday night." Alright so what he said was nothing absolutely nothing but yet they keep him on. At the end well you can keep going but at the end it says we gotta keep going is for 2020 They're gonna be heard even though we won? That's what he says The people are going to be heard even though we won? Is that, I mean you'd say that would be the this again is cognitive. Let's listen to the end because what does it what does it mean you won but you're used to your well let's do one but you get the trophy let's dissect it We've got a lot of things in front of us here A lot on our plate Lawrence But the people are going to be heard and they're not going away just because they won on Tuesday night They're not going away just because they won

1:53:02 I understand your confusion, but it gets better in this civics lesson. The bluest of blue, you'd need sunglasses. There would be so much blue on the screen on the map. No you need to blue blocker glasses if we actually show the matter by the size of its population not the size of how many acres the state has. He believes that the Senate somehow is determined by the acres

1:53:43 acres they have. So this was an election, and people are like oh you know they still got the Senate yes they have a senate but that's because that's not a democratic election it's not one person one vote now because we're also not a democracy you douche were a constitutional republic true democracy doesn't mean that Delaware gets the same number of votes in the Senate as California with 40 million people who live there If it was a true democracy, the Senate would be proportional to the actual numbers of the country. So we have... That's what the House is for! No but he just skips over that. He feels the Senate should be the same as the House you see. Just take the Senate and throw them away? The way to solve this is just dissolve the Senate. To fix that we have to get rid of the Electoral College

1:54:33 We need to have preferential voting systems where you vote your first choice, your second choice. So we'll get a more... I've never heard of this the preferential voting system when you get to do well if this guy is not this guy wanted to be this lady? California implemented that years ago You have to do one two and three yeah is that a good system Well it ends up with for example Dianne Feinstein a Democrat running against the Democrat Right right right right hmm We'll be hearing more from Mr.. Michael Moore, but the series of clips. I really want to get to we don't want the This is them you don't want a democracy pure democracy because it always results in a majority rules Mob rules yeah, that's very bad. That's why the Republic works so well by just Find its own away at its Senate Delaware. Yeah, I find that

1:55:30 Actually, that's kind of treasonous in a way. I mean you can say whatever you want but to keep saying that it's we're not a democracy well no we're not but they make it sound like such a stupid idea has worked pretty well and then all this is the same group people like the woman who's now the congresswoman from Michigan or congressional representative which is the way they like to say from Michigan, standing up and say have you ever read the Constitution? And getting thrown out of a meeting. No no she was taken out. She was taken out. If you've read the Constitution you understand why they're doing it this way or if you've read the Constitution there's two in two. Yeah have you read the Constitution Michael Moore that would be that would be the question

1:56:14 I very much enjoyed, and as i have been doing for the past few weeks The Bill Maher show this weekend Friday Did you see it? No. I don't even bother anymore because you're on that video Very good So this was a rare occasion when You have two comedians Bill Maher And then the special guest at the panel Didn't get the same treatment As Barbara Streisand With her own little set and everything Now just sit at the table next to bill Sarah Silverman so here we have Two comedians And when two comedians, when it doesn't work and they're both trying to be funny and what happens is they are bombing consistently because they're not on the same wavelength. I think that he was on her show cause he mentioned...I don't think in these clips but he mentioned it somewhere and he had such a great time

1:57:02 But I think that somehow they shot their wad together and you know what i mean right? It just doesn't work. They're trying to be funny, and neither of them is funny And it's cringeworthy which means its perfect for the no agenda show Congratulations! You got your walk... Your star on the Walk of Fame today Oh my God, welcome to the club. I have one. You do? That's right next to Gary Busey. Oh you're kidding! Not the star actually Garry Busey. See I think what happened here is she said, I got a joke about my Hollywood star. Start off with that! I don't think she was ready for him to crack the Gary Busey joke which i'm sure he does all the time when he talks about his star so that I thinks where it went wrong

1:57:57 where anti-semitic crime is up 57% since this douchebag has taken office. That Trump must be fucking Hitler! It is not lost on me that I am very lucky that I get a star and I don't have to sew it on my clothes. Oh... And the crowd turns. No! I did, I don't know if that's gallows humor or just like it's funny because it's true humor Well...I think they love Sarah Silverman humor Oh thanks Yeah there are two Jews who disagree over the joke He did not like that joke he did not think it was funny

1:58:38 And you know, it just kind of went downhill from there. One good thing though I must say about Trump is...I never thought I'd even say those words! But he has sort of broken down certain norms that we lived with for a long time that didn't really make sense like extramarital affairs. I mean I was arguing with that in the Clinton days It doesn't really matter That's private it doesn't if I remember they used to say oh if he cheats on his wife Is he gonna cheat on the country? No No, it doesn't make any sense. You can cheat on your wife all day long and still be a good president We've had many who did So that's a little stupid. But this one, this next clip worked very well for me This again solidifies that there is an anger brewing predominantly I think pretty much only among the left and maybe it's only people who are a member of a leftist party And the- There is so much anger and so many things have been brewing up

1:59:48 that people start to cuss a lot everywhere on television and you know, I think maybe it was the last show of the show before when you say certain words when you swear it's not just a word that comes out. It is a release of energy or frustration can be a number of things but now it's a physical thing actually you've got serotonin shooting around melatonin God knows what flying in your head when you do that your pupils dilate, your pores open up But now listen to this. I like when people use fuck in a positive way. That's how my dad, I always grew up with my dad says fuck every other word but he is joyful guy and such a fucking lucky guy you know like it's joyful and i think that nice. I don't like when Trump says stuff like stupid and loser and stuff like that to me that some you know not the word police so can say it but it just says so much about himself tonight we all know he's really kind of at this arrested development about eight years old

2:01:02 Yeah, and I would have great compassion for him if it if he wasn't hurting people's lives But those are words that children say before they learn that those that they're not nice words You know you're a loser. You're stupid It's such bad Karma what about shit? I have, okay you're setting me up and I... but i do have a theory about this. I brought out fuck so you would say shit! Oh you did? I don't know everything goes out the window once I'm sitting here but..I think that what sounds silly But we all, of course on this show where I'm on too we can say shit fuck cunt twat but... What is wrong with these people? We're now a minute and half into this. But only those! It makes it really hard you have to figure out. Um..but the rest of the country on television we just end everything. We accept that the word shit is obscene that its a swear

2:02:00 And it just means poop. It just means crap There's no reason it should be considered obscene or a swear at all But we don't question things that are just the way they are and I think that it's an example of how It's so fucking hard to have any progress because we don't question anything Nobody says why is shit bleeped on TV? It just means poop You see, they're totally missing the entire point of this. Because it's an interesting topic I think it's interesting how language is changing and how swear words are being used more and more but all they can do is say well It means like poop Seriously! Cringe worthy Last one But that was a pretty amazing thing to get thrown out of the press room And also to have a pre... Okay he wasn't thrown out of the press room He was talking about Jim Acosta

2:02:53 He was denied re-entry as his hard pass, whatever that means. His hard pass was confiscated so he wasn't thrown out But that was a pretty amazing thing to get thrown out of the press room and also to have a press secretary Sarah Succubi Sanders present a... You said succubi I did? Yeah I meant succubus What's succubus Oh, it's a Greek god or something. Some of... It's dumb another another dumb joke I didn't mean that see we're both losing it but See he knows that this sucks Dude submit a doctored tape like Now wait a minute

2:03:33 Is this, is he really claiming that the video that went around that was edited doctored and there was no physical contact? Is that what's he really saying? That's a meme. It came from InfoWars Exactly And it came from InfoWars They get their news from InfoWars That's the meme yes Of course of an authoritarian Government, you know? I mean it's he... It's not even dog whistles anymore. It's full-on, "'Cousin the racist boy yes you are'." Right! It's not subtle. He is doing in right in front of our fucking faces But there have to be bad words. You've got a president who shit and we become accustomed to that so what words are there for that? Nice one!

2:04:22 So that's it. That's what's happening to the people who used to be funny Yeah, man is problem now It's a huge they're obsessed and they're weird very obsessed yeah Let's see what else do we have oh yes? I did want to mention this before we take another break Someone gave me and was a blog was there's a blog post let me say I don't know if was a bloody anyway Was it an alternative theory on the plastic?

2:04:59 Bands that we are seeing straws utensils Cups, what else do we have? That's banned plastic wise Mostly bags and in straws. Yeah cups this is oh This is from the organic prepper comm if that'll tell you anything and it goes through a whole list of countries who have and states who have banned plastic bags, and there's a lot that is quite... It's in the share notes. And also the plastic water bottle. Plastic water bottle yes so we know about the dangers of plastic but the question is and this is what they're trying to answer is why

2:05:37 Is there such a push to ban plastic? Now I would say it's like an Agenda 21 thing because you know we're getting plastic. What we're being told is, plastic is seeping into us, we are pooping plastic, plastics everywhere, plastic is bad... We've had plastic in our lives since the graduate so the plastic stuff around, I don't think were dying from plastic. I don't really believe that all of the turtles are in jeopardy with straw up their nose So these guys have a theory. They have a theory What is the number one use of plastic that people have on their person almost at all times? And some people have a lot of it. Even when they're naked No, no When you're in the world Not when your home not when your naked When you are out and about doing business like most people do what is the number even people who have no job have this plastic Rayon Credit cards

2:06:35 And the thinking is, if we can get people fed up enough with plastic and then we could get them to get rid of their credit cards. We bring in the chip That's a stretch tip for me. I like it Yeah, is that think the plastic water bottles are little more concerning then well BPA is different but this thing This is more about now not from the BPA point of view which is from the amount of leftover Plastic you have because people don't reuse these bottles yeah But that's not what that is not the meme the meme is we're killing animals were pooping plastic It's not water bottles its

2:07:19 turtles, fish the big plastic floating island. Yeah which is water bottles again I know but i'm just saying I like this as a theory yeah well I understand why you think it's a theory You know why I like it Well its not that companies aren't doing this people are doing this This Swedish company did it Yeah and I think there are couple of American companies that have done it People think it fantastic And I did quick Bing search And they tried this in 2014 and 2009. How your credit cards affect the environment, I'm just reading some headlines here. Plastic cards not so fantastic for the environment making credit cards landfill friendly why cards? Retailers see green alternative to gift cards is it green card there's a lot they've tried this for several years i see 2009 2011 2014 let's see if it comes back all right

2:08:21 I don't think it will. Well, I mean...I don't think it will get any different than what we've been witnessing so far as a kind of minor and subtle approach that's not going to help. I liked it though as an idea. Besides that, because of this clip you have to worry about plastic in the ocean. The oceans heating up! It should melt the plastic In environmental news, the world's oceans are warming at a much faster rate than previously thought. That is according to a new report in the journal Nature which finds that oceans have absorbed 60 percent more heat during the past 25 years than previous scientific estimates

2:09:08 Scientists say this will result in accelerated global warming as the heat is released into the atmosphere, making the target of holding global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius or 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit even more difficult to achieve unless urgent global action is taken. It's been interesting reading Dutch news. Once this IPCC report came out where everyone said, oh we have to stop it at 1.5 degrees the Netherlands certainly the political class and the elites went all in yep We've got to do this was shutting everything down You know they already have pretty much banned gas for usage in homes for heating or for cooking No new homes will be built with a gas connection that's off-the-table that's just done in the whole country Why?

2:09:57 Because it's bad for the environment. I'm telling you, they're idiots over there! It is the socialist kingdom of the Netherlands and then of course people will say we have to do something We gotta hurry up, we only have until 2030 to get this all done so let us use nuclear No, no. Nuclear it just doesn't work there's a huge... I'm telling you all the experts are saying it costs too much It takes too long for to eventually make any sense financially so no we still... 70% of France is run by nuclear. Yes! I know And people just, you know and of course then we get documentaries. Oh let's look at Chernobyl again! Is that what you want people? Do you want that kind of renewable energy do you wanna die? Do you wanna be fried? Nooo... Let's have some wind Wind and sun They're gonna have to start buying energy from Germany You watch Maybe this whole thing is a scheme to buy energy from Germany I'm gonna show my school by donating to no agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that'd be fab

2:11:06 I have more than a few people to thank for show. 1085? Yep! Jonathan Dennison, or actually let's go back to Arjen de Jongster in Dortmund. Arjen De Jongster. Buy an SSD, she said. She is he probably the he yeah you're right Jonathan Dennison $111 oh that was a hundred one two three four five Jonathan Dennison 111 dot 1-1 black Baron Scott Baron of North Georgia 111 dot 1-1 I think it was Scott who asked me to play at the end of the show

2:11:55 What's the bagpipes, the flowers of the forest? Oh yeah. Yeah I think we should do that okay. Don't play that DrJeff111.11 these are all Armistice Day celebration donations. Circus Media 111.11, I'm just gonna say name and location Jay Kincaid Sir Kevin McLaughlin Viscount of Luna And that's the end of them all 1-1-1 dot woman not a big no turnout No, I'm in a mediocre and I didn't see any shout outs to the US Marine Corps Which I know we have a lot We have a lot of service personnel in their producer stable many a marine corps

2:12:37 Which they celebrated what, 247 years yesterday? Yeah. Yesterday the day of the newsletter I put it in there We have $100 which is the other opportunity because it was 100th anniversary of Armistice Day we got three people Sir Don of Taintsville and Oviedo Florida Dude named Peter in New York City And Jackson Butler in Leveland Texas So that was another dud. So I guess nobody cares. Muhammad Ali Balwani, 8008 but they do care about boobs. Boobs always a winner! Thanks dude named Muhammad Ali. Dave the Deer Slayer also boobs

2:13:20 This has been a douchebag for too long. I should de-douche him." Yes, we do! You've been de-douched. We give some karma at the end. Von Glitchka, Knight of the Vector Realm 70 Morten Kiernan in Soberg Denmark 69 Baron Mark Tanner 6789 and Whittier Robert Bruckner, 50. We're at the $50 level already and these are just name and locations, $50 donors. Robert Bruckner, Brett Yeo in Cantonville Maryland, Kimberly Redmond in Toronto Canada Jonathan Ferris in Liberal Kansas Richard Gardiner parts unknown Sir Richard I'm pretty sure. Drew Mochak in El Cerrito right up the street from me

2:14:14 Roy Tenhava in Pinjaker, Netherlands. Sir Alan... So did you get Robert Dequanay from Fairfax? You might've skipped him. Robert Dequanay in Fairfax Virginia I'm pretty sure he did. Sir Alan Bowes and Oakland and last but not least Kyle Meyer in Atlanta Georgia that's it Served well wishers for Armistice Day. The other thing we have to consider is it's a holiday A lot of people take the day off Monday off, right? Yeah, but they're often than three-day weekend They're up there. I don't know where you gonna go in California. It's not on fire Burner I think clear lake is still okay and Barry s is still working so you're safe though right you're okay there I hope so Well what does that mean how far as fire from you 100 miles or 200 million? No that's not that far

2:15:06 Well, I don't think it's going to go 200 miles. It does like 20 thousand acres in two minutes? Yeah that was a big state. The problem is the air pollution. You have the wind even though it's not the worst of it... The wind has smoked up the area where you can't see the sun. The air pollution is really bad and I had to put up the uh... Really bad. So you can't see San Francisco from here which normally you can barely see halfway. Can't even see Alcatraz And it's all smoke from the fires, which is blowing down this way because it has a reverse wind. Normal wind comes off the ocean and so I had to get the HEPA filter out and my old electrostatic precipitator... Wow! ...which is a nice piece of gear to keep the house air fresh

2:15:55 Do that anyway just yeah, you should you should definitely do that. I saw Elon Musk tweeted Tesla s90 and model X have hospital-grade HEPA filters we're happy to help I'm gonna take a battery car into a fire. That sounds like a good idea Yes, well thank you to our producers who supported this show episode 1085 it is of course appreciated It is how the system works no advertisements that we've talked about a lot of things on this show today thing the topics that cannot be discussed in a What would be deemed a brand safe environment? It doesn't exist on this show it's of dangerous show to produce and so no one would everyone want to advertise and we wouldn't Be able to do it if we did If we took advertising anyway, so We just don't do it. We've been doing it for 11 years at works Thanks to the help from our producers you heard our execs and associate execs earlier These are producers who also come in under $50 many of them because they want to remain anonymous But also we have subscriptions I

2:16:57 implore you to go to Dvorak org slash na and please support us for our next show which will be on Thursday vorac.org Slash n a cancer requests or f cancers Jobs jobs and jobs let's vote for jobs You've got karma Well, stand back because today is November 11th 2018. The birthday list includes one birthday! Peter Nucolaj says happy birthday to his smoking hot wife Monica we couldn't agree more Happy Birthday from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe No nights no titles no nuttin I did want to mention cuz the guy's been in the news

2:17:53 He's a guy I know quite well in the Netherlands. And he kind of, although he has been around longer than when I first met him... When Anthony Robbins really cropped up, I would say was that 90s? Would that be fair to say that that was peak, peak Anthony Robbins? The inspirational guy. Yeah, peak Anthony Robbin's with nineties. I think he had the fire walk and everything and I had the tapes probably the early nineties yeah so this guy Emil, Emil Rattlebank is his name He started, I first became aware of him in the Netherlands as the Dutch Tony Robbins and he had the same thing. Firewalk and he had pictures of him in Tony Robbins and he's a very animated guy! Kind of bit like... it kind of is more... he's like Tony Robbins but also a little bit like Trump to be quite honest. The way he sometimes talks and this is just a funny guy and every

2:18:50 Every so often he's like a media bomber. He'll pop into the media with some outrageous thing that the whole country is talking about and certainly in the Calvinistic lowlands people eventually say, nah that's just that's just Emil. He's nut job but I always liked him because I thought he made very interesting points When I was flying helicopters, you know he's like yeah we should be able to land right in the middle of Amsterdam. He would just... media bomber and then the media just loves to go towards him and it became it went from showing the guy as something somebody had something interesting to say or a different slant too he's a nut job

2:19:29 And of course that's why I was attracted to him and he has been to my house for dinner, I've been to his house. But I haven't spoken to him in a long time but he showed up on the international stage this week! Everybody was talking about him. Washington Post wrote about him BBC did articles on him Everyone is talking about my guy Emil and i think this time he really bombed the media good Transgenderism is increasingly apart of American life Now a man wants to be Trans aged. I'm talking about Emil Rattleband He's asking a Dutch court to legally change his age from 69 to 49 I feel, I suffer under my age When i am really 49 again, I will have a baby again! I will buy a new car again If I have that age again...I've hope again! I'm new again And there is- the whole future is there for me again Yeah, I like this

2:20:23 I heard about this too, but yeah it was pretty funny. It would be interesting to see how... This is like self-identification! If i'm going to self identify as a 49 year old, yes? I might just as well self identify as 30 year old How old are you?! I'm thirty!? What?! You don't look thirty! Hey! But ageism is real It's very real. And if I were able to change my age, well I'm in a weird spot because I'm kind of in the middle but you take someone like Emil who is 69 and say you're 49 again, you will get jobs that he wouldn't get and he doesn't look 69 to be honest, he looks 50 but okay 49

2:21:10 A loan, insurance. I mean there's lots of things that you know health insurance if you have a different age if you can legally change your age and why wouldn't you be? Identify with the 30 year old identifies as a woman either penis but identify as a woman okay we'll put on your driver's license If you can change it You can change these biological things Why can't you change biological age Yeah! I like it I think... And of course she is being blasted I am behind it yeah me too What would you identify as? 29. Okay, you look beat for 29. Dude! What are we gonna do I've traveled a lot. We're done a lot for a guy who's 29. We'd like to pre-board our passengers who are young but having trouble walking and look a little older than they are You could pre board. I'm in. I do have a no agenda tip actually

2:22:11 A no agenda... Pre-boarding tip? No, a no agenda travel tip. Okay Yes there is a new rule and this starts December 12th that American Airlines not the one airline but all airliners will allow passengers with nut allergies to preboard so they can wipe everything down I'm thinking hell yeah! I got a nut allergy I'll show up with a medical mask, with gloves. We have to pre-board. I have a horrible nut allergy." You say you have the allergy. You don't have to wear the mask necessarily... Yeah but I want to be in front of all the other pre-boarders. I want to be the guy really in front before children, small children. By the way because it's smoke down here if you go to these kind of hippie dippy places to go shopping there is bunch of people in there with these masks

2:23:10 So when I saw it the first time, I mean it's not as bad. I don't know maybe it's bad for some people who have asthma but when you see it and these masks don't do half the job they can't really do much because smoke particles are too minuscule but you see first time I saw it I thought there was some sort of an outbreak of Ebola or something in Berkeley. Yes yeah did you like it? Did you see the new Planned Parenthood ad no um But Tina and I were talking about this yesterday, and you really have to see it if maybe you should just bing it. It's not about the audio—you can keep the audio off—but it's 30 seconds long...it's actually a little longer but 35 seconds for some reason…and it shows a close-up of the most beautiful, beautiful infant

2:24:00 I saw this ad. Yes, so I'm looking at it now you see this beautiful kid She deserves to be loved and then that's just and then do you show it again? You're looking right into her eyes And the cutest smile ever and you know Just you're in love with this kid and then the next title card comes up she deserves to be Wanted and then it goes black and the kid comes up again It just did the eyes are on him in love with this kid and then a title card comes up she deserves to be a choice Yeah, and then there's the hashtag stand with PP for stand with Planned Parenthood And you know Tina and I were talking this is the action fund by the way This is not it's not the out the outfit. This is before of the 501 C4 It's the lobbying organization and and Tina we're looking at this and saying you know how

2:24:53 I think depending on where you are in your mind or, I don't know if it's necessary if it comes down to pro-choice or pro life. I think that's a little too strict and I think there is middle ground in this but You look at it, and I looked at this ad and went oh my god these people are killing babies like that. That was just my initial instinct. And i'm not a pro-lifer necessarily. Choice is important but that was my initial response. They blew the ad for...I never thought by the way seeing the ad but apparently some people put you in that group saw the ad differently Yes Well then they blew the ad

2:25:39 Well, no. I was going to get to this... The point i was going to get to is who's this ad for? That's kind of how I dissected it because the baby is a white baby! I believe the number one client of Planned Parenthood is black or brown. I may be wrong but I think those are the statistics. Don't know. Maybe a myth Well, they made a choice. They chose a very very white blue-eyed baby and saying this baby should be your choice I mean, I don't know...I think they're pandering towards

2:26:24 I know it confused the hell out of me because yes, well let's also mention that right now the Democrats as they did before Trump selection. If you remember when we did this show like i'd say three years ago we talked about this because we were kind of taken by it It was...the move was to get all women to hate Republicans And we had a number of thematic shows that showed evidence of this, which was the hate on the Republicans so that all women with the female perspective. All women should vote Democrat because the Republicans are evil women haters and this was the thing maybe they're cranking up again trying to get the white woman

2:27:12 Democrat. I don't, to me it was very confusing. You're not a white woman? That's me! Identify as a 49 year old white woman that's what i'm trying for. No this is airing on TV though isn't it didn't get banned did it Not that I know of. No, no... It's not a bad ad. But it didn't work. You know what they're saying? The way the ad reads to me is you have a choice this baby- you can have this baby when you're ready for this baby and you don't need to have this baby when it's not convenient for your life or whenever you're ready to love a child of your own That I think is the intent of the ad but I don't know does it really work

2:27:59 I don't know, it worked for me. But now that you bring it up probably doesn't work. No. This is the problem with doing this symbolic kind of like fill in the blank type of ad. Yeah. It's just they're always like this there's like well you filled in the blank and filled it in wrong yeah whereas Ice Cube He makes it very, very clear. Yeah, I think it's pretty clear what he is trying to tell us. I think that's a little more you know targeted See? I can get this! This one i understand Ice and I got it. This one I understand Wow People have so little respect for the country Yes

2:29:11 That's pretty funny. Now, we were talking about I think we had ongoing discussions of the Southern strategy and how the party switched. Ah! The big switch yes. I think I have a jingle for that? You do have a jingle. I didn't realize you were going to bring it up. Well, gotta do something here at the end Anyway, tell me what you're thinking about and I'll look for the I got the Pat Buchanan clip which I promised where he discusses because he was in the Nixon White House. Mm-hmm And he discusses that just so called Southern strategy and what it was not doing What it was doing who is the racist? And who weren't into fact did none of this ever a lot of this stuff has been exaggerated largely by Democrat

2:29:58 inclined history professors and people that want to push their agenda on this poor hapless student who doesn't get a real clear picture of things. And I thought it's as long, it was not real long but it's long enough that I thought It's something you'd particularly like because it adds to the narrative of this discussion. I was wondering if you can give us your thoughts regarding whether President Nixon had a so-called Southern strategy? Clearly, we wanted to... Nixon went into all 11 southern states in 1966 he went in and campaigned against George Wallace and against Lester Maddox

2:30:37 And I've described that in my book. If you read the book, the libel against Richard Nixon is that he used racist tactics to win the South. That is false! The people who did that were the Democrats. Woodrow Wilson resegregated the federal government and carried all 11 southern states. FDR put Cactus Jack Garner of Texas on his ticket, who had imposed a poll tax. FDR put a Klansman on the Supreme Court. FDR put Jimmy Burns of South Carolina on the Supreme Court who had blocked the anti-lynching law So for decades, the Democratic Party used the issue of race to maintain the solidity of the Northern Liberal Southern Coalition

2:31:29 What happened was Adlai Stevenson, the states Wallace carried are the same states Adlai Stevenson carried against Eisenhower. Was that because Stevenson was a tougher guy in foreign policy than Dwight David Eisenhower? No! Stevenson put on his ticket John Sparkman of Alabama who was a signer of the Dixie Manifesto, which called for massive resistance to integration and massive resistance to the Supreme Court decision. That's when I was a senior in high school. So the Democrats were as we wrote in that piece look at column I wrote with Nixon

2:32:08 Nixon, where I said, Nixon went south and he said look let's leave it to the Dixiecrats to squeeze the last ounces of political juice out of a rotting fruit of racial injustice. Nixon had voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1957, 1960, 1964, 1965 and 1968. He desegregated the South. Once the South was desegregated, once that was off the table naturally the South moved from its conservative convictions straight into the Republican Party but only

2:32:46 After it was desegregated so I think that's a libel and I'm happy to take that one on and I've taken into one in That book you know there were liberals whining and complaining none. I'm winding complain when FDR was winning all Confederate states Every single time he ran all four times Yeah, that's good clip the problem is anyone who was interested? Is just gonna their eyes will glaze over like oh I mean, it's so much easier to just say hey they all swapped and the racists are now Republicans. You don't need to say any more than that. Every time i hear one of these we've been playing these long clips about this for forever and people do some glaze over...I don't think everybody does listening on this show No no I don't! Of course not our producers don't

2:33:35 The thing that got me, I didn't realize because I was a Democrat at the time and my dad was a big Adlai Stevenson supporter because he was a union guy and he was a Democrat which is all you know the Archie Bunker type. Which were all Democrats And yeah he was a big fan of Adlai Stevenson even though he's running against Eisenhower who is like can you not like that guy? He's like a war general You know the whole thing...and he kept saying that the reason Stevenson couldn't beat Eisenhower was because of he was perceived as an egghead, which is the first time I ever heard the term. And the egg head which is what it looks like, he's got one those eggshaped heads not as bad as some people but you know and then his bald and he has a egg head. He had very intellectual. It was very soft spoken, usually listen to some of his old speeches there on YouTube

2:34:27 But I didn't even think about the fact that he had a racist vice president pick. And if you think about it, that's the same thing Kennedy did when you put Johnson on the ticket. Had to! There there's a little extra piece to this Southern strategy story and i found it on Netflix It's Tricky Dick and The Man in Black which is quite a story of Richard Nixon and Johnny Cash Who performed at the White House and which was a big deal? And in fact, I encourage you to watch this Besides it being Johnny Cash. It's just fantastic is great story Apparently Nixon put in a press release he said part of his strategy. So let me get the South. I need Johnny Cash I need Johnny cash to perform with the White House and so that was part of the strategy Which has never mentioned I'd know I didn't know about either really

2:35:26 And then he put in the press release Nixon did that the president has requested Johnny Cash sing Okie from Muskokee and Welfare Cadillac, which I mean talk about some dog whistles especially welfare cadillac. Probably no one knows the song but it's about someone who is on welfare which i think was severely frowned upon and it's kind of a joke song, saying one day I'm gonna drive down pick up my welfare check in my Cadillac which is kinda this sneer at people who are on welfare Johnny Cash did not perform either those songs instead he sang What Is Truth? which is kinda haunting song pretty much telling the president you've got to help the youth America understand what his truth yeah you gotta get the truth to people and there was only two weeks before Kent State for the whole country went apeshit

2:36:20 And I was watching some of that footage, it seemed like it was a little worse back then John. Yeah we're seeing crazy stuff online but people are on the streets beating each other's heads in like a lot. Is this just my perception or is it more violent on the streets? It wasn't like you didn't go to the store and get beat up, but when they had these demonstrations which were mostly anti-war demonstrations by kids who were going to get drafted and go to Vietnam. And they didn't want to because it was anyone who knew anything about the war knew it was kind of a hoax not a hoax but it was a real war but there are reasons for being there that were dubious as John McNamara later revealed in his autobiography

2:37:07 The even the administration's Johnson administration and then later Nixon, but mostly they blend into Johnson administration. They all knew that they shouldn't be there and they couldn't figure out how to get out without losing face. Yeah they wanted a dignified ending to the war. Yeah, they couldn't just say hey we're out of here! An honorable... it's like if we gotta claim something we can't just leave. By the way this constant comment about the Asian cultures and oh they're terrible because they always say so they're more worried about saving face than they are about anything else that's us! We do that all the time. So for example when I say you or I am

2:37:46 We worry about saving face, I think as much as any Asian culture ever has in the Vietnam War is a very good example of that. So the travesty of all this and the thing I remember growing up certainly in my first five six years when it came to desegregation to me was the schools you know like really black and white kids they couldn't go to the same school? And now okay now we're all because I was alive at this time and now we're all desegregating black and white kids in the school. And now we're in 2018, almost 2019 and here we are where we're trying to segregate getting whiteness out of the school I got a confirmation on Humboldt University from an anonymous person who works there for obvious reasons

2:38:33 I just wanted to let you know that i also work at Humboldt State University and I also received the whiteness email several times about whiteness and microaggressions training. So, I can assure you it is not a hoax the topic has taken very seriously at HSU And in my experience the average student faculty staff member will hear conversations about whiteness on a daily basis It has always seemed surreal to me, I believe that these decent people with good intentions but they have bought into the idea of negative whiteness hook line and sinker to the point where you can almost see the guilt on their faces. Obviously to keep my job i shut up and keep my head down as much as possible but it is getting very strange. I am a little paranoid so I chose not even write you from my HSU email address

2:39:22 This is very bad when teachers disagree with what's happening in a place of education and they're just shutting up and keeping their heads down. And have to write anonymous notes to the No Agenda show from a different email address That's how bad it is Yeah, this is a university. This is true yeah and then we got it I know you saw this note from Rachel Adam John my daughter goes to a preschool that gives color names to classrooms! This year she was entering the white room but when we got an email from the administration that they no longer thought white inappropriate color name given the school's efforts at inclusion and diversity of the room is no longer called white they changed it to a different color The White Room No Longer which of course is the most inclusive

2:40:06 Color of all it's all colors isn't it? Isn't white is everything and black is nothing which makes it even more crazy We do have a jingle for it, okay good so yeah That's what people have been taught and it's just getting worse. And it is, people who are now just around 23-24 they're the ones that got hit first with this nut stuff It really truly is 95-96 you were born around that period these are the ones that have gotten all of this weird... I think he goes before that but

2:40:55 That we know for sure. I think you can go back it up a little bit because, like at the table, I got my millennial table with the new and older millennials and I'm talking, uh, Jen, you know, there's zoomers well, there's zoomers for sure but i would say that some old I'll ask this question about this switch between the parties to this group and how much of the else Oh yeah that was like I thought you already asked them a lineal table about that no oh Well, I get a lot of people say yeah still people who are behind on shows will say yeah Yeah, I don't know exactly where I was taught but that's what I was taught. Yeah And of course no one can back it up with the textbook which is always too. No you can't your you thought you were taught wrong Okay Kashiogi

2:41:42 Or Khashoggi. So I wonder, I didn't have time to look into it to see if you know what this means. Are we just taking our guys who are refueling and putting a different uniform on them or is what is actually happening? But this was one of the big gripes people had about our involvement with the war in Yemen. Yeah so that's over many gripes well that seems easy then yeah sounds like yeah That's not good It's not going to stop the complaining No

2:42:28 I mean, down the way everyone just doesn't pull out of Yemen. How much do they have to be beaten up? This all stems back from the Houthis kind of kicking out our guy from running the place who was running it into the ground and of course now they're getting bombed at smithereens yeah They hate the Houthis, apparently. I think our government does too." There's definite hate over there! I want to get this clip out of the way—this is the idiot mosque? These guys tried to blow up a mosque? They blame Trump?! Meanwhile attorneys representing three Kansas men convicted in 2016 plot to bomb a mosque and murder Somali Muslim refugees are arguing Trump's hate-filled rhetoric should be taken into account and result in a more lenient sentence

2:43:15 The lawyers say their clients, who faced life sentences were supporters of then-candidate Trump. In a court filing the lawyers write, quote, "'The Court cannot ignore the circumstances of one of the most rhetorically moldbreaking violent awful hateful and contentious presidential elections in modern history driven in large measure by the rhetorical China shop bull who is now our president.'" Nice one and good read. Yeah, she nailed it. That was very good yeah that's about right all right the story I've been following this will be the last one for me The FDA is crackdown on e-cigarettes could go one step further at The Washington Post reports as soon as next week the FDA is expected to announce a ban on the sale of most flavored E cigarettes in stores and gas stations across the country

2:44:04 The FDA has called teenage use of e-cigarettes an epidemic. Most vaping products are flavored and studies show teenagers are attracted to flavors. Now, the agency is spending nearly 60 million dollars on an education campaign warning kids about the dangers of e-cigs Though vaping e-cigs may pose less of a risk than smoking tobacco, the FDA says nicotine and e-cigs can negatively affect a person's brain and overall health. The Washington Post adds that the agency will also impose age verification requirement rules for online e-cigarette sales as well. A couple of things...the reports were very similar I had a number of them about this some reports actually start off by saying at it at a time where

2:44:49 Cigarette sales are at a record low, which is not good for the big tobacco. E-cigs go into any school and say hey man you got an e-cig? People look at you like your moron! It's called vaping they're using e-cig for very specific reason to make this seem like having the FDA weasel in on an unclassified substance nicotine is unclassified I learned It's not classified as any drug, unless you know better which you might. Well I would probably just from... because you can go to Walgreens and buy nicotine lozenges, you can buy patches and all these things and they're just sell right over the counter that obviously is available unclassified but

2:45:39 As I've been following, this is tobacco who has a problem. Their main cancer stick product is at an all-time low in sales they see this thing exploding They want to have the government regulate it and the government's doing it And by the way, I think a lot of kids... They have vape The Juul would be the top one they use But don't call it an e-cig This really bugs me that they keep saying E-CIG It's vape They buy vape liquid with no nicotine. You can buy it, I mean it's very common there is no nicotine in at all The reason kids are doing this A. It's an oral fixation and it's an obsession And its cool to do B. Takes very little work just flip the cartridge and put a little THC in there Which is another reason why people do it But this whole idea of the government regulating some flavored juice

2:46:35 Yeah, I think it's wrong. They're killing a whole cottage industry and just handing it's going to be $1 million to get each flavor certified. No that's the scam. Big tobacco doesn't care. That's what they want. And so they want to take over this whole industry. of using and leveraging the system to their benefit, their corporate benefit. I just want everyone to notice that's how it works. I'm talking about people over corporations! Yes. Yes AOC, I hear you. Alright. I'm good? You're good, I'm good

2:47:17 That will be it ladies and gentlemen the next show I may be coming to you from the lowlands Or maybe do you can meet up finally? I'm trying to get the meatup part done This is the reason.
