Right Puberty

00:00 It's a cavalcade cascade of deplatforming. I'm looking for a new deal and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state here in downtown Ross and Tejas, In the Cluedio. In The Morning everybody! I am Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where i think we should go for Momoa as president. I'm John C. DeVore. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. IN THE MORNING! Who? Yeah that is what I said. WHO?!

00:41 Yeah, I'm looking at the trades this morning. Wait a minute...the trade? Do we have trade magazines for podcasting now? I guess we do. The trades. The podcast Morning Insider yes They're going all off on Momoa best ratings on Saturday Night Live ever! Momoa So this guy yeah, I've never heard. I feel pretty disconnected to a popular culture right now Yeah, and well you should mm-hmm and so this guy who obviously has a new publicist He's an actor he's been in a bunch of things it's like it's not a household name by any means but I guess he is to some people momoa

01:21 Jason Momoa. Alright, so what has he been on that we've... Well I guess it was on an old Stargate the TV series and I don't know what else He's long-haired, kind of hunky guy with a douchebag beard. You know he looks a little bit like our very own Chris Wilson to be honest in Australia. Oh does Wilson look like that? Yeah even a little rougher though! Wilson should be the next Momoa! Wilson is the next Momoa my friend hands down somebody's gotta get the...

02:02 Ronan decks on Stargate Atlantis Khal Drogo in oh, I hello Game of Thrones Oh game of that's why we don't know the guy Some guys probably one of the most famous actors of our time cuz he's on Game of Thrones Yas Queen All right, good. Next president fantastic although I will be coming to you from the future on today's program talk about how you have something for the future I do but not right now It's a I don't want it just dive into it Let's ease into it because I felt this weekend for me was a point of point de tipping A tipping point where the m5m certainly the cable news media actually became unwatchable for me

02:49 It was unwatchable. I think you're the man from the past, if you haven't seen that like months ago but okay... I mean i've really held in for a long time but when the Mueller whatever completely unimportant unrelated stupid information The sentencing of Cohen it's like Cohen! I mean the movies, the scenarios Actually, Scott Adams talks about movies but the scenario that MSNBC and CNN and conversely Fox have concocted it's just not worth anyone's time anymore. It's like remember when the Malaysian Airlines plane went down and it still hasn't been found?

03:33 And I recall watching CNN every day they did stories, it was wall-to-wall stories about this missing aircraft. We had the crazy lady from Singapore who was in China and we tracked a lot of it and I remember it was one year they did that story for a year until they finally had to give up on it because people weren't interested anymore. And I think were reaching this point with just is blathering what they've dreamt up... It's just It's not that if you want to go in that direction. Yeah, give me give me some of that Well let me go with dreamt up I want to play

04:14 Because there's two bits in here that I want to keep. I've noticed by the way, and I don't want to tell people if you get the Microsoft 365 you get a terabyte of data. It's bacon baby! Data is the new bacon. You get a terabyte of cloud storage but what's cool about it is that I put all the clips on the cloud and the software they're using to do search is so much faster than my desktop software I can find old clips, boom instantly. Excellent! So i've always felt that the cloud would be good for that because instead of keeping your stuff on your locals you know using the lame search stuff that we have on the desktops to put it in a big mainframe and let the mainframe crank through this data with indexes... And you believe its being indexed by a mainframe?

05:02 Well, it's probably no. It says obviously a bunch of little servers, but the software they're using is much better than the stuff I have Okay And this is this is Microsoft's cloud Yeah, Microsoft's cloud. Acronis has a cloud too that I thought they were going to be doing more of this sort of thing but let's listen to Brooks. Ah Brooks and Shields! Shields and Brooks he's got two predictions in here that i'm gonna...I wrote this out to be really long so I could look it up later but he's got two predictions in here based on what you just said about this crazy scenario they've dreamed up What do we think it adds up? Guys, they're not very good cooperators. If you're going to cooperate, cooperate! But Manfort's going to jail probably for the rest of his life and Cohen is getting a healthy sentence because he sort-of semi-cooperated? Something like that... but I think what we are seeing is the pace ramp up on a lot of fronts

05:54 with their clearly interest in the more context than we knew with Russia in 2015, with the campaign. The so-called synergy they apparently found and then especially the business dealings, Trump's dealings in Moscow and my instinct is that there's going to be a lot more investigation into business that there isn't into Russian collusion. There's just a lot more there. And the other sense you get is a lot of Republicans are looking at this White House and they're seeing an administration under a lot of judicial, legal threat and a lot under political threat. They see a White House Counsel's Office that is denuded of authority in people. Then what they call the membrane around Trump is frailing. The membrane is the group of people they put around Trump to protect him from himself

06:38 And over the years, the Hopixes of the world and maybe in the next few days, the John Kellys of the world are going and gone. So you see a Trump unprotected from himself. You're beginning to see a lot of Republicans who are looking seriously at 2019 with a lot of Fridays like this one. Yeah. And Trump really hurting himself and maybe not serving out the term Not serving out the term. Oh yeah, this is The Lip Show's dream come true! And you know what's happening? I was listening to Dutch news radio over the weekend actually Saturday Tina had some non-profit work to do and so i'm just listening to this because if she's around she won't understand it

07:19 And every journalist that came on, it's as if they sat at home and had their morning coffee and watched MSNBC. You know because they can get that over there They can... you don't even need to have MSNBC to get this story! Then they go on the air and just like oh my god he'll never serve out his term! Of course they'd like to pronounce Trump as Trump So all you hear is this... Trump! Trump! And it's the same delusion. It is just delusionary! I think it also delusional to think that Manafort Is going to be sentenced to life in prison for his financial crimes Yeah, well we don't have to go through it again The only thing as far as I can see

08:12 that maybe, maybe is out there is somehow illegal campaign contribution due to the payoff of the stripper and the other spokesmodel. We should mention by the way if you're gonna bring that up somebody did bring this up in a tweet and I thought it was something to bring up John Edwards who ran for vice president took illegal campaign contributions up to the tune of a million dollars to give to his girlfriend. His side piece, that's right! And all you pay is a fine and then it's done He didn't get any other punishment besides a fine did he? I don't even know he got a fine Yeah Every campaign makes mistakes like that The Obama campaign had money they took incorrectly It was all kinds of stuff

09:02 But that doesn't matter. It's in these people's heads. Delusional is the right word, because I kind of soft-pedaled it as incredible wishful thinking but at the point that is now I would say delusionalism is probably correct term. Yeah! Just from a legal standpoint argue this from a legal standpoint its just not there. That's the way it is. Comey testified? James Comey And as per his wishes, he released the entire transcript of his behind closed doors testimony was released I think almost the same day. 250 pages of stuff some of its redacted a lot of I can't recall so that's always my favorite. I think somebody counted 57 or 72. Oh no! No, I heard it was 250 times

09:58 Mmm, that's what I heard. Well it's quite a long document one of our producers did pull out an interesting quote as a lot of people have been going through this Let's see, Ratcliffe asks Comey. I'll just do this one paragraph here... Alright so i guess i try to summarize what I've heard today Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information more than a hundred times she made false statements about it the FBI was aware that at least one of her aides also mishandled classified information and one of the folks employed on behalf of Secretary Clinton intentionally destroyed evidence known to be subject to congressional subpoena and preservation order and lied to the FBI about it and on July 5th 2016 you stood! You sir stood

10:37 before the American people and said that neither you nor any reasonable prosecutor would bring any charges in this fact pattern. Is that accuracy? Is it accurate?" Mr Comey's reply, yep I believed it then I believe it now and anybody that thinks we were on Team Clinton trying to cut her a break is smoking something! Yeah yeah see it's too bad we don't have audio of that because that would have been much better. I agree with Jim Comey why couldn't have been out in the open Well, I think it's because everyone is showboating and it's probably embarrassing for everyone. Exactly very embarrassing so now we have a new pick for the Attorney General William

11:23 Bar I guess he goes by Bill Barr. They call him bill like Robert Mueller is Bob Miller I don't know if I heard was William. I like Bill bar bill bar tomorrow your buddy how you doing? Doesn't look very oh, yeah, he's you know turns out he worked for the CIA didn't work for Papa Bush Yeah as his attorney general Which was like, what? A hundred years ago and now the guy's still up for another attorney general's job after Clinton and Bush Jr. And everybody in between? Let's see... he was born in 1950 so he was young at the time then Yeah it would be his 40s around 1950 So he'd been as a

12:08 late 60s. Yeah, it's got to be mid-60s we could probably figure it out if we did the math yeah gosh if we actually took a pen to paper Wikipedia is not helping one two three usually they put it in parents yeah it's not there I'm looking for it it's like why didn't they give me an age here? and height 68 there's no height there um here is okay so it was interesting I think the pic was made public uh when Bush's train was doing the tour or whenever part of the funeral processions with procession which I also did not watch. So it was kind of an interesting time, you know timing to choose that but this guy himself is...I mean i'm not quite sure why the president picked him

12:57 Here's Greg Jarrett on Fox Business News talking about, because he knows he has of course reported on this guy in the past and here we go. The president has a duty to direct the Attorney General what to do what not to do This whole notion of independence is a canard that's been peddled for 40 years Now as for William Barr, I'm sort of of two minds. Yes unquestionable integrity a fine reputation great experience he brings gravitas to the job but he is an establishment figure at a time when I think... What is gravitas?

13:33 You know, gravitas is interesting because it's a term they tried to use. They tried to push this term on Obama. No way before that the first time I saw them trying to push push this term was when Clinton was running for the president for the first time Hillary or Bill? Bill This goes way back. This is this this was this stem from the original governor Cuomo the old man who was going to run for president when George Bush was up for a second term, but he decided not to because if you know, he's gonna get reelected. And so Clinton got in and that was the end of Cuomo's political career for good cause it was a made me made a mistake cause he would have been the shoe in its seams but they started they dropped his term into the public domain left wing media which is I'm going to call it

14:24 Gravitas and they kept talking referring to Cuomo as being the best candidate because he has gravitas. Gravitas! And they kept hounding us with his word gravitas then it disappeared completely and now they're trying to revitalize it. Gravitas, high seriousness Is the Merriam-Webster definition dignity, seriousness or solemnity of manner? Yeah. And I think once they've rediscovered it which is you just pointed out...I think they're gonna go hard with it because it's just the opposite of Trump Well we always try to be gravatorial on this show

15:05 I've always tried to have gravity so it'll fly out of the room. Avatars to the job, but he is an establishment figure at a time when i think we need a disruptor as Attorney General somebody who would vigorously go after corrupt officials at the FBI and Department of Justice who were abusing their positions of power in attempting to undermine democracy I'm afraid Bar is not that guy. Oh He's not I was a good setup like oh, he's not that guy so on PBS they had the woman black woman who's one of this I think she's she seems sweet but she seems incompetent and it's a shame because there's somebody experienced black people it could be a Gwen replacement is it? It's the Gwen replacement. It says the El Cindor woman

15:58 But so they keep giving her different assignments, which she still doesn't carry it very well because she doesn't present well. She can't enunciate like a PBS person should which is old network style. But they had her do rundowns on all these different people that Trump's talking about replacing one person with another. And she did one on William Barr somehow, and listen to her point of view because I think she did a lot of research. She talked to a lot of people. I think this is actually...she did pretty good job except the presentation still. skills are still lousy. William Barr summary when you hear her version shake up so Yamiche let's talk first about the president pick to be Attorney General and there's an acting attorney general but Bob Barr Robert Barr who has been our sorry William Barr

16:45 that behind him and support him as Attorney General. I want to walk you through who William Barr is from 1991 to 1993 he was attorney general for the late former president George HW Bush, he was however involved in the controversial Iran Contra Pardons, he formerly worked for the CIA in 1970's and he was executive at... Don probably knows them really well

17:24 Maybe, he probably does. People that I talked to today told me that he's an establishment Republican. This is not someone who is a Trump loyalist, the president has filled at times the cabinet members and the White House with people who are loyal to him personally but this is someone like Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz another Republican had they become president might have picked for their Attorney General. I'm also told that he is someone who has had some past comments that are controversial on special investigations in Special Counsel. I want to read you something from The New York Times

18:09 on So this guy is, in essence a veteran of the deep state.

18:49 Yeah, I guess. I think he's definition of a veteran of the deep state. I mean holy moly! But still it seems odd that Iran... well no I guess he just you know 68 okay it makes sense He was young though back in the day yeah he must have been a go-getter Yamiche Leoni Alcindor has quite the resume including winning the award named after or not named after a tribute To Gwen Ifill, who passed away. The Syracuse University Toner Prize... She's been uh she's you know New York Times she's been around! She has cred? Yeah as a writer Oh well hello yeah of course don't get me started on the television I mean that's our job but it's okay no one ever asked us our opinion

19:42 We know it works. They do ask us our opinion actually, but nobody... No one asks us our opinion about the television presentations. Oh no one asks us our opinion about stuff that we're very knowledgeable about! Oh okay exactly. They asked us our opinion about hey what you think of Trump? Trump's a douchebag. What do you think of Trump? Well, we don't know if we have an opinion I was watching This is this Pluto TV which shows up on the Roku box. I love Pluto TV Yeah You get some good streaming stuff and before you go on I'm gonna give you a pet peeve of mine Okay

20:24 So I got Pluto TV, it's on the Roku people should get it. It's got all kinds of cool stuff, it's got Sky News, it's got all kind...it's got the Cat Channel? Have you watched The Cat Channel? I saw it and I did not stop! You put The Cat Channel on in a crowd of people?! You're stuck there for hours You know, it seems like that actually seems like a really good idea considering the popularity of cats on On the internet and considering you don't deal with agents. You know there's no residuals to these after these cats I mean it's great It's a moneymaker okay? It's hours of cat video I did watch for a moment the channel where these young kids go out they you know They shoot an arrow with a rope across a canyon And then they just you know

21:11 Swing on the rope. Have you seen this channel? Oh Makes makes me nauseous door, but I'll watch the cat channel By the way, you love to catch even if you don't like cats you'll love the channel The Pluto Channel you put it on they got all these you get all these different Mini networks and there's and they're all that loads the hit one boom it comes up you hit when become Xfinity has got Xfinity streaming, beta. Xfinity streaming nothing comes up you click on it and you wait if you wait long enough sometimes up to 10 minutes the channel will appear and then if you happen to like try to play a channel and its spinning and spinning and your waiting for it to appear

22:03 It doesn't, and you say I'm sick of waiting and you try to turn it off. Boom! It blows up the Roku box and reboots it. It is a piece of unbelievable unrelenting crap. Hey man- Why don't they buy this technology from the Pluto channel? Hey man that's what net neutrality is all about man. It's like they're getting throttled somewhere bro So I'm watching the Pluto app. And so, you know, RT Sky News there's one or two other odd ones but that's really what i was going for. I think MSNBC is on there? No CBSN CBSN is on there. Oh CBSN right yes CBSN So because yeah I gave up I gave up in the M5 end so off we go to Pluto that's... There's nothing in between apparently This is where you have to go! Pluto! Pluto! I went to Pluto TV

22:58 But RT was doing a really good job of covering what was happening in Paris. Holy moly! And you know, make no mistake... I got an email from somebody saying that only RT is covering it? I told you there were some rumors about the BBC having been issued a D-notice and not just BBC of course but everybody but there's not a lot of reporting on it and what I saw was exactly what you'd expect from a color revolution We've now, you know... You have to really watch the screen and see that it's not all people with yellow jackets. But there are also people with yellow jackets with a, you know, with a baklava on

23:42 Who are ruining stuff. You know, they're again They're smashing into the Apple Store stealing all the all this stuff in the Apple Store Which is just about the stupidest thing you can do children when your LARPing around and you want to go steal something from the Apple Store because your other LARPing friends broke the window and we were in and you just grab it All and take at home You better not be hooking that crap up to the internet because the Apple police will find you very, very quickly. I don't care what you... if you give it somebody else is gonna come back to you These things are completely loaded They know exactly where these boxes are there's a million ways for them to find it Don't steal that

24:22 And I saw they ran into a golfing store, a golf sporting goods store. Got a whole bunch of golf clubs, ran outside started smashing the window with the golf clubs...I don't think this has a lot to do with the climate change tax anymore! There is a genuine very unhappy feeling. I think maybe the Marrakesh agreement which should be signed today or tomorrow that may have something to do with it A lot of people, and so that sadly brings us right back to migration. But it looks more and more like a color revolution is set up that way with the yellow jackets is now in Belgium they were in Brussels they were trying to you know at European Parliament there in Amsterdam there in Rotterdam It's happening everywhere and as long as the M5M doesn't give too much attention it might not catch fire I think is... That what the thinking is

25:16 I think that's exactly what the thinking is. RT is the only network, as much as people like to condemn them at least they're covering this and they're covering it well! Yes although it was kind of funny in French newspapers And now they're saying, oh, Le Parisien which is a Parisian newspaper to be specific. Looks like possible foreign interference going on with these yellow jacket protests and you know who they peg right away? Russia! That's where RTs govern it. But this was the Parisienne though. Yeah. Oh it must be Russia. They have proof show the proof I don't think they have any proof at all none whatsoever

26:08 But yeah, this is the major cover up in the news. And even Democracy Now! is not covering it. No you mean especially not Democracy Now!, especially not them? Yeah they would definitely not want to cover because of the climate thing. Well this does kind of bring me... So nobody's covering so this is the great news systems that we have and they can't cover this and its exciting riots there's nothing more exciting than riots like this And what's interesting is that you see, Tina asked me yesterday. What do you think? When is this going to happen here I said it doesn't happen here That's not how we work. We only do that kind of stuff when our favorite sports team wins, then we do that kinda stuff. We don't do it out of anger or anything. No, we take to Twitter! It's just... we actually go on the street- Oh yeah, we sublimate. Yeah, sublimate nice. We're the best at that. Yeah, we don't actually go out and do something about it no no no no. No you just bitch about it online and then you go my job is done. My work is done here

27:09 Okay, this brings me to a little report from the future. It's a little presentation I put together for us and this really comes down to conversations we've had about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez And I believe she's a force to be reckoned with. This is not about the merits of what she says, although it's always fun to stop and chuckle about how entertaining the things are that she says because they clearly are not entirely based in reality and some were just funny but... She has a following, she has movement. I'm seeing the kids like it. These are... We're talking... She looks like an actress who should be starring in Hamilton Well she's gonna star on the big stage This is just the beginning Unless Nancy Pelosi cuts her off dramatically which i don't think she's going to do Because the support is garnering I think she already has almost 25 Democrats who have signed up to her Green

28:13 New Deal and I figured it might as well look into this Green New Deal and understand what it is they're talking about. She has all the Millennials following her, they love her! And imagine this you're born in 1990's make it a easy millennial number... You grow up hearing one thing consistently You're going to die from climate change. Now, seriously! Not like you and I who've been around who have seen the old articles we're gonna die because it was too cold and in 10 years nothing will all be gone the planet will be obliterated so we witnessed all this not happening which is kind of fun We witnessed it not happening...we remembered but when you grow up a kid

29:01 And your parents are also, you know kind of not really engaged in climate science or climate truth just like oh yeah yeah climate change big problem. Then all you hear is the grown-ups talking about how horrible and death and destruction we've talked about this it's having an impact and these are the children who grew up with this and have been impacted and I believe it so I can't fault them at all It seems... In fact I would say If I was the evil genius behind climate change, global warming all the mega bucks associated with it. I would probably want this to be the outcome here come the freshmen here come the new kids they're in their 20s and they're all in on this stuff and its spilling over everywhere

29:45 Here is the intercept podcast just a short little clip. Well, I think you know it on some level It remains to be seen but the kind of basic tenets of it are that we could have shorter work weeks We could have a functional mass transit system for folks live in New York the MTA Jesse understand this is what? The Millennials believe fixing climate change will do. And she is specifically talking about the Green New Deal, GND and this is what she believes Putting this this grand new deal in place will achieve well I think you know it on some level remains to be seen but the kind of basic tenets of it are that we could Have shorter work weeks. We could have a functional mass transit system for folks live in New York The MTA could actually work maybe Beautiful affordable rent control public housing

30:39 you know, a job where our bosses aren't screwing us over. Sort of any number of things you can imagine Medicare for all can sort of fit under this green umbrella and most importantly the planet wouldn't be burning around us and sort of baking us all into a health care future. It's baking us all! So the way I'd like to do this is indeed let's mock and laugh at everything they say because Well, and there may be some validity to their thinking that the Green New Deal will solve all these problems. But it sounded like this was solving everything the Democratic Socialists of America want

31:17 It's always one. They always want mass transit to get people out of their cars, to ruin their independence so you can't... Get off your horse! You have to get on a bus. Get on a bus and in San Francisco or most metropolitan areas you have situations probably not as bad as San Francisco where there are beatings on the bus, people are pooping on the bus. you know, everyone thinks they're a loser if they're on the bus. As long as we can all poop on the bus then it's okay! Intersectional pooping...as long as we can all poop on the bus it's okay So I'm just showing this to give you a little example and I started watching TYT I think it's also The Young Turks is a force to be reckoned with in this arena and people are getting on there and they're talking about it and it's starting to move

32:04 We have this movement called the Sunrise Movement. Uh-oh! Yes, the Sunrise Movement is... it doesn't really belong to anyone according to their website there's no on the up well yes I'm about us there's not now if you just donate And that'll take you to the ActBlue website, which is really... That's not an outfit that does anything per se but they're kind of a clearinghouse for these type of operations. Yeah, Patreon for these sorts of things. Yeah, Patreon. Another thing we got to talk about So here is one of the... What is her name? Vashini Prakash and she's on with Chunk

32:48 on the Young Turks just to talk about the Green New Deal and the Sunrise Movement, just to give you a little background. And these are not stupid people they've just been incredibly misinformed from there the minute they took their first breath on this earth. Yeah, they have been propagandized and this is how it works! So Sunrise Movement is working to build an army of young people to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs for our generation. We see ourselves as working to actually transform the outrage and frustration that young people have felt at witnessing so much political stagnation, um, and inaction on the issue of climate change for our entire lives

33:31 We've known about the issue of climate change twice as long as I've even been alive on this planet. You see, you understand what's happening with these kids now? And have yet to do something meaningful about it so we are really working at the nexus of protest organizing and protest demonstrations that Things that really help us get our story out into the public and getting people and politicians paying attention to the crisis at hand, combining that with some hard-nosed political and electoral organizing. But we have completely altered young people across this country have altered what is politically possible and feasible in this country on the issue of climate

34:10 Three weeks ago, I was seeing headlines that said Dems damp down hopes on climate for next Congress cycle. And now I'm seeing headlines like Climate Change Tops Democratic Agenda For 2019 2020 and beyond that is unbelievable to me and it happened because thousands of young people started organizing, calling for the real solutions to the climate crisis like a Green New Deal. We've done hundreds of office visits to congressional politicians asking them to support Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's select committee for a Green New Deal

34:47 that would create a plan at the true scale and scope of the climate crisis. So young people are energized, we are motivated, we understand what is at stake with the wildfires that have-the drought induced wildfires that have been destroying California and the West Coast The IPCC report that came out saying we have 12 years to radically transform our economy and society, to protect human civilization as you know it. Young people are with it and we are also ready to take action." And I believe that! I believe they're ready to take action. You wanted to say something? No, I mean the thing is there's all these little zingers that they keep throwing in. They're like... The little phrase you use create millions of good jobs. Oh yeah! Well what name one? So this comes from the actual document which i took the trouble to go get and mark up a little bit from

35:42 the congressional website for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It is in GND is calling for a select committee for a Green New Deal and this was interesting it's not just a couple pages into the marked up a few things I've never really looked into how committees work and how they're put together what a select committee even means What we do know is that to be on a committee you have to pay millions of dollars into the party, into the party coffers and that's how you get on. We've discussed this in great length And sometimes, you know a chairmanship can be what? Five million bucks or something. You've got to bring into the party coffers. Yeah you have to get that and that goes through the party So the select committee I didn't realize it but a select committee for a Green New Deal means that the Speaker of the House actually selects the 15 members that are being proposed here so that would be Nancy Pelosi and it'll be nine of the majority and it will be six of the opposition

36:37 It will have legislative jurisdiction, this select committee which AOC is promoting. And the Select Committee shall have the authority to develop a detailed national industrial economic mobilization plan to be known as The Green New Deal for the transition of the United States economy to become carbon neutral and to significantly draw down and capture greenhouse gases from the environment It will be prepared and cons... so we're gonna have leaders from business, labor state local governments and academia will be involved in this Green New Deal. They can bring in research institutions and everything they do will have been planned and executed no longer than 10 years from the start of this plan which would be in 2020

37:26 And that kind of comes down to the 12 years you just heard about, the 10 years by 2030 we have to have everything fixed. We have to be completely off fossil fuels otherwise we all die! Then they're going to create... so January 1st 2020 they'll have their complete plan then they'll have legislation they are going to draw up by March and they will also have investigative jurisdiction which is a big groan for me because it just means they gonna do more studies Funding, I'll get to that in a second. Let me go to the... here we go. Scope? Here we go. The scope of the plan for a Green New Deal and the draft legislation and there has a number of points here In each case no longer than 10 years from the start of the execution of the plan 100% of national power generation will be from renewable sources one hundred percent within ten years

38:23 There will be built a national energy efficient smart grid. Whatever that means That means you can shut it down remotely from China Bingo We'll upgrade every residential and industrial building for state-of-the-art energy efficiency comfort and safety decarbonizing the manufacturing agricultural and other industries I know how you can decarbonize Agricultural industry, but okay Funding, massive investment in the drawdown and capture of greenhouse gases. Which I find to be an interesting choice of words... They have some frequently asked questions, this was my favorite. So here's one of their facts Why do we need a sweeping Green New Deal Investment Program? Why can't we just rely on regulations and taxes alone such as a carbon tax or eventual ban on fossil fuels

39:19 And the answer is, regulations taxes can indeed change some behavior. It's a certain possibility to argue that if we had put in place target regulations... Oh how about my printer cut this off damn it! I'm sorry my printer cut off the right side of the page. Yeah climate change there you go well then i'll just go straight to the B here, since I can't read it here. Why should the government have a big role in driving and making any required investments? Why not just incentivize the private sector?" And they say two things here, two main reasons scale and time first scale The level of investment required will be massive!

40:03 And even if all the billionaires and companies came together, were willing to pour their resources put the resource at their disposal into this investment. The aggregate value of the investments they could make would not be sufficient for example, the $1 trillion over 10 years plan for investment in the green economy has been floated by some policy makers has been criticized by climate experts as only as wholly inadequate! One trillion is the entire market cap of Amazon think about that So they're going to need a lot more, they think. And second time and this is another so you just heard scale the level of investment required will be massive time the speed of investment required will be massive

40:48 I think they just copy-pasted. Even all the billionaires and the companies could make the investments required, they would not be able to pull together a coordinated response in the narrow window of time required to jumpstart major new products projects and major new sectors so it's massive investment massive time it's all just massive And how will the government pay for these investments? Well, many will say massive government investment! How in the world do we pay for this?! The answer is in the same way we paid for the 2008 bank bailout and extended quantitative easing programs. The same ways we paid for World War II and many other wars

41:25 The Federal Reserve can extend credit to power these projects and investments. New public banks can be created, as in World War II to extend credit and a combination of various taxation tools including taxes on carbon and other emissions and progressive wealth taxes can be employed." So they just say in fine American tradition print up the money! And they, and what? I give them credit. This is unbelievable! I give them credit for knowing how the system works... Kind of knowing how it works Now this Green New Deal is not new This is the exact same deal popped up. Oh seven years ago with Obama and today We're going to look at the green new deal Well, President Obama has embraced the idea of a green stimulus package pledging some hundred and fifty billion dollars Of investments in low-carbon infrastructure in order to create jobs Gordon Brown has also espoused a Green New Deal

42:24 In his case, it's to also boost employment with eco-friendly transport and renewables at the heart of his strategy. So are we going see a rush to green investing? After all the returns last year were relatively poor and if business takes the money will it be able to actually deliver the reduction in CO2 emissions that the world is now demanding? So about 150 billion dollar try that we did didn't seem to go anywhere I didn't hear any great successes Did you know? No! All I heard was... Got worse a And this was the same era that, uh... This is when Nancy Pelosi was the Speaker of the House. The last time and she's- That's where that jobs jobs jobs things comes from that we use they've been using on the show for the last eight years. Yeah Uh and she's and they presented this kind of this proposal that was going to pass and and Gohmert called it you know a piece of turd or something like that in front of Really? Gohmert did that? Gohmert has some comment

43:34 And the thing never, you know it was passed and it had all this legislation about how you have to build your home a certain way. You have that insulation or you get fined and there's all these things. It was this huge package that the Senate just said no! That was the end of what is going to happen with these guys. The Senate goes, No we're not gonna do this. By the way, the Senate was dominated by Democrats at the time. Oh yeah? Well, so just before the weekend there was a town hall and the town hall was hosted mainly by Bernie Sanders who is very much with the young kids still. The Millennials they all love him. Bernie's all on that popular tip and they brought on guests many guest including our girl AOC from the DSA hey but they started off with a little video

44:27 Again, just setting the stage so you understand how kids today feel about it. But listen to what she's saying and this really confirms my point not only as to what these kids grew up with why they're thinking that way but there is a little nice little gimme in here. My name is Marcella I'm 21 years old and I was born and raised in South Florida growing a regular occurrence for me and my family. I remember being really little and feeling afraid because sometimes my dad would have to work during the storm, but it wasn't until my family moved to Fort Lauderdale Florida that i really became closely acquainted with the devastating impacts of sea level rise we move somewhere that's sometimes called The Venice Of America

45:07 known for its beautiful waterways and coasts. My family was lucky enough to live just one block away from the beach, but when we moved I started to notice that every time a storm would hit the street in front of my apartment would flood and sometimes it would flood even when it wasn't raining local businesses have to put out sandbags to stop from coming into the shores. My parents would have to move the cars up to higher ground for parking, and it was this weird dystopia where regular people were being forced to become experts in the oceans tidal patterns and sea level rise. On really bad days, the entrance to my apartment building would be blocked off from flooding at the time I didn't know that any of this had to do with something called global climate change or sea level rise i just knew that this wasn't everyday part

45:51 So When she went to college, that's when she learned that she was going to die from this ugly climate change. That's where they taught her... Because you're living on the beachfront property and then during a storm you get a little flooding which has probably been going on since the 1800s Well they call it The Venice of Florida so yeah this has been a problem since before she was born

46:28 But once she got to college, that's when she was told what this all was about. And that's what these kids are growing up with. Yeah you're right I think this is a very good point you're making. Now we get into- Normally we put depressing stuff like this at the end of the show so everyone is bummed out and they don't donate So we do the depressing stuff up front. We do a happy-go-lucky at the end so people donate it was switching it up John just going crazy with The format anything anything to help here? Here, we go to the roundtable Bernie is Of course he's you know The conversation is about the report that was released that wasn't covered up and you know does the question here really is does Alexandria Ocasio Cortez have

47:20 You know, does she have the solutions here? Is she right... Oh and I might want to point out that on this panel is also Van Jones. Van Jones... The hack! Well you'll recall he was the Green Czar of the Obama administration Yeah, he was the guy who brought in the Green Deal initially and got ousted because it was actually weird I think he was associated with Some odd people. In other words He actually was all-in on 9 11 like 911 inside job boom out of the Obama administration Yeah, you can't have that let me see but I had got a link here What exactly did they accuse him? Was it was

48:01 Jones was under fire for his past affiliation with 9-11 conspiracy truthers. I'm reading this from a 2009 article and for calling Republicans assholes in the video before he was appointed to the Obama administration. Republicans then also began using him to escalate criticism of the administration's deployment of czars, you recall those days across the policy landscape saying they were being used to avoid Senate scrutiny of appointees but more problematic was the fact that Jones's controversial statements fit snugly into the narrative woven by some conservative critics of Obama as a dangerous leftist, a critique that goes back to the campaign and was based on much of his past work is a community organizer with associations or the likes

48:48 Jeremiah Wright and William Ayer. So there was a lot going on when Van Jones got kicked out, and he had to fall on his sword I remember it well we were doing the show so he's on this And of course is weaseling in on the action that's why he's got a show on CNN again It's all coming around The Grand New Deal Is President Trump right? That's a hard one! I want you think about it before your respond Or if they're in fact ideas out there that would enable us to create millions of good paying jobs. Now this was your question, John! Good... Millions of good paying jobs Let's get to the bottom of it. Yeah, what would name one? Just stick with the program! From fossil fuels It's unsurprising that the response to any bold proposal

49:39 Let's not mock her for her voice. Let's just what just bathe in it It's like it's like a take or me like a bath of razor blades But I have to say and again, I'm just looking at the media personality here girls got it She's got that she's got everything you want You can hate her you can love her it's all in there and the voice cuts through some may call it piercing it cuts through so It's unsurprising that the response to any bold proposal that we have is to incite fear. To incite fear of law... By the way, I just have to say it's crazy about how everyone especially Republicans and the president they incite fear

50:23 But that's exactly what she is doing, even in these words. way we are going to get out of this situation is by choosing to be courageous. That's the only way that we're gonna get out of this and first of all it's just plain wrong, the idea that were going somehow lose economic activity as a matter It's not just possible that we will create jobs and economic activity by transitioning to renewable energy, but it is inevitable that we are going to create jobs. It is inevitable that we're going to create industry and it's inevitable that we can use the transition to 100% renewable energy as a vehicle to truly deliver and establish economic social and racial justice in the United States of America.

51:23 our proposal and that is what we are here to do because in the depths of darkness, in the depths of despair which what we last saw... Now listen this is really important. What are you doing? You're rummaging around your dropping stuff Are you...? I'm just playing She's now going to give us a little history lesson for a second I couldn't figure out what she was talking about This is where she connects the Green New Deal to FDRs new deal It's America That is our proposal and that is what we are here to do because in the depths of darkness, in the depths of despair which what we last saw you know when we think about where were when The New Deal was established. We were a nation in depression, in great depression. We were a nation on the brink of war. We saw the rise of fascism creeping across in Europe and no one would thought

52:18 that a nation so poor, so scarce and in such dire straits as we were in that time could pursue such a bold economic agenda. But we chose to do it anyway. We had the courage to do it anyway. And that is what this moment demands of us right now. That's what we have to do. This is going to be the great society, the moonshot, civil rights movement of our generation. That is scale of the ambition that this movement is going to require. So what she's saying here, this is the moonshot which by the way it would just be easier to make a video about how great you are with The Green New Deal and just put it out there pretend we did it just like The Moonshot It'll be like FDR's new deal Is this indeed like FDR's new deal? What was FDR's new deal John C. Dvorak I don't know if I could put it in a nutshell

53:14 It was a reorganization of the country somewhat and also putting people to work in make-work jobs like the WPA, Work Projects Administration. Civilian Conservation Corps? If you look at it objectively the New Deal didn't even work! It kept us in a depression longer than we should have been in one. Oh really?! I've not heard that one yet... You'll hear it if you just look around enough I don't know what to... this woman is crazy. We weren't a poor, starving skinny little country when Roosevelt got in office we were in the depression yeah That's what she saying She says we're in the depression She makes it sound like we're third world country thanks for that new deal we got out of that Well just remember this is a millennial When she thinks

54:04 Depression, all she knows about the depression because of course she hasn't read up on it is the black and white photo of The men standing in line for jobs where their hats are on standing in line for soup kitchens That is the entire history of the depression in the American experience these days You think they went into anything deeper than that? Clearly not. Otherwise, she wouldn't be suggesting these things So this is the idea, and it's not new. Is to create new industry force industry away from oil economy which the United States has forced into things that do that have not been proven to actually work financially which is wind and solar now if she said

54:47 Let's do nuclear. I'd be all in." And, yeah, you can do something with that. I don't know if you can change the whole economy? Well, I find it peculiar that nuke is kept out of the circle and they want to abolish all...the use of all fossil fuels Which is interesting to me because then she won't be able to fly from state-to-state To do this propaganda. How do you get around with how do you fly a plane? Oh, well the battery planes Electric planes yes that's one guy yeah one guy in his super lightweight playing with a couple batteries has been able to get off the ground That's it for 20 minutes All right we move on so

55:25 This and what I like about her idea, and what the thinking and I'm sure it's not her alone There's other people behind her there must be is All the problems you see everything and the problems that kids deal with is racism otherism sexism Nazism hate ISM whatever isn't me want to put in there all of that will be solved if by solving this problem because she and the Democratic Socialists of America want to redistribute everything, just every job that has anything to do with energy wiped off the map. Bring it back give everybody the same salary, the same living wage, the same uniform probably and march along to work and do the good work to solve our climate crisis. How do we you know I think what we all understand is that were fighting for the future of the planet

56:22 What Alexandria is talking about, is that not only can we effectively combat climate change but in the process we can do good economics and create millions of good paying jobs here and throughout the world. Alexander, go into some details. Yeah absolutely! And it's important to also talk about the fact that this is not just an economic solution is that this is how...this is the mechanism through which we can really deliver justice to communities that have been underserved The water in Flint is still dirty The water in Flint is still dirty. We've got children, Van and I were talking earlier we've got children that are choking on the smoke in California those same their same children and rather children mirrored... I love it! That was a good one by the way that got to me

57:14 I just see these kids choking on smoke. Puerto Rico? Girl, I'm choking on fungal spores in Austin! Stop with that! from the floods is taking up all of these people's homes. We have injustices in this country, those injustices are concentrated in frontline communities and indigenous black and brown communities they're the ones that experience the greatest depth of this injustice but If we chose and if we had the moral, political and economic courage to say We're going to fix all the pipes in Flint. We would put a lot of people to work at that same time. There you go! So it's putting people to work to clean your pipes? That's what I get. OK, so you create...I don't know What do you think 10 thousand plumbers

58:14 Flint to fix all the pipes because you want to get it done quick quickly and that I think that number might work Yeah, but he also has some construction guys backhose and things digging up You know everything they can to get rid of these old pipes And so you just put a whole effort on that and then you get that job done Then what do you do with these 10,000 plumbers? And that are in Flint use them for fuel. Oh Obviously, the plan has a lot of holes in it but that doesn't mean... You think? That doesn't mean that people will not be convinced by this. There's a lot of abstraction, extraction, abstractionary thinking going on he's like oh that'll get solved and is done is all fine but stop we well

58:54 Yes, I want to mention something because everybody's been all these things there's a big article on oh don't underestimate AOC Don't underestimate this woman. Don't mock her because you know that and you're kind of on the same boat No, I said from day one. I said people laughing about her It sounds exactly the way people laughed at Trump That's what I say understand what you're saying And I but you would be on. I would say if there's an argument to be made, you're going to be making the arguments in support of her. Yes. Yes. Her potential not her potential. Of course. Yes, of course. Now, I think she's just too stupid personally

59:31 to get very far. Now I think you just throw the Trump thing at me because all they said about Trump is he's too stupid. No, he actually is! And they say that to this day and they say he sounds stupid. Yes and he sounds stupid He does, he sounds stupid Just like AOC sounds stupid But I think she's genuinely stupid I don't know if he's stupid or just you know street smarts. No, no, no, no He is a billionaire that gives him some credit for being at least not a complete idiot Interesting! I didn't clip it but during this conversation they actually said in America It seems like your only deemed intelligent If you make a lot of money and you just proved that and I'm not... No i didn't

1:00:14 He said, you just said the guy makes a lot of money. He can't be stupid. But no I didn't say he was intelligent though they they they said that you're intelligent if you make a lot of money i'm saying you can't be really stupid and make a lot of money that's a little different uh okay not going to belabor the point she is not stupid She's highly intelligent but this is mind control and she has no economics degree as far as I know But it also doesn't matter because she has an entire legion of politicians lining up behind her. They know they know that's not gonna happen, they don't give a crap follow her follow the power. Yeah they're following the lead. Following the power. And you would argue they're wisely following the lead? Wisely following the power but stop we have breaking news! We gotta say something about Trump. Can we interrupt this to make an announcement

1:01:10 about your shoes. Yes, yes! I think we need at least a half hour discussion right about your shoes very just kidding As the, as this, but it's a funny note. But the exact same day as the Trump administration's climate report which they tried to bury, which they tried to air a month early, the day after Thanksgiving that same day, they spent in prime time talking about my shoes And it by the way, that was that the Trump administration talking about your shoes or the news media I'm not sure you may have to look for your enemies elsewhere But yes That is what I talk about when I say being unseen is that they won't even bring it up

1:01:56 They don't bring up the percentage of Americans that make less than $40,000 or $50,000 a year. They don't bring up the fact that we have amassed some of the largest amounts of wealth in American history but we have never seen so many people struggling and living paycheck to paycheck in the way that we are today." Oh I think we have! Two more clips and then I'm done. Now we bring in Van Jones, he will promote himself. Well first of all it just brings tears to your eyes. It's just unbelievable. What a fake! Bill and Bernie, myself and bunch of other people here we tried to take this hill Yeah we tried to take the hill In 2008 I was in that job A big part of Obama's agenda was essentially the Green New Deal But you know I talked about 9-11 truthers I had a job at the White House trying to implement it Right wing came after me I had to resign under fire

1:03:00 Rewriting history, Van. Wow! That's a classic. That's why I read to you what actually had happened because I knew this was coming the guy just thought but of course we all gloss over the errors in our history White House tried to implement it right wing came after me and I had to resign under fire then they came after Bill and We couldn't get it done But um...I think you're gonna get it done and yeah we're gonna get it done. We are the world! She says were instead of we're, she says we're going to get it done. Well yes remember millennial rather than talk about my book The Green Collar Economy um the other thing I think about your politics that's interesting

1:03:58 is your generation uses term intersectionality. Which I've had to look up, but it's...I think we used to call the rainbow coalition back in the 80s and 90s but you guys have taken it to a different level. Can you just talk about We had a slogan ten years ago, green jobs not jails. That we saw criminal justice and economic justice and environmental justice as one fight. Those kids standing on street corners... you know, disposable resources. We don't have disposable species we don't have a disposable children or neighborhoods either it's all precious and those kids could be putting up those solar panels like Bernie was saying and... There is your good weekend job right there John! Those kids running around in gangs what could they be doing on the weekend? They can be putting up solar panels

1:04:47 Solutions is what we're about. And that's what they want to do? Yeah, they want kids to put solar panels on their roofs! We don't have disposable resources, we don't have disposable species...we don't have disposable children or neighborhoods either It's all precious and those kids could be putting up those solar panels like Bernie was saying and making a positive difference Can you just speak to the intersectional power of your Green New Deal Okay now this is so this is the meat of it but she's going to speak to the intersectional power of her Green New Deal. I know... Well, hold on a second! I sense a hint of mockery in your voice and yet you condemn me for saying she is stupid? I'm not saying she is stupid. Well maybe need to define stupid because you can't fix stupid

1:05:36 That's the point I'm making. Can't fix stupid. Alright, go on. I'll accept the mockery in your voice You can now play it which i believe is probably going to be the punchline clip Yeah, that then you made this punch line up on punchline. Yeah It's really the the core of that is leave no person behind We cannot have a solution we can isn't that a military term? I don't know student behind yeah No, the Marines leave no soldier behind leave note student behind leave know somebody behind Oh child Yeah She's derivative does she give her credit for this by the way she's done been doing a very good job yep

1:06:15 of stealing other people's ideas, including Green New Deal as you pointed out earlier in this series. To the T! But it's not just stealing I mean she took it and ran with it and everyone who was a part of it seven years ago is like whoa whoa whoa I'm Van Jones let me in! Power of your Green New Deal Yeah really the core of that is leave no person behind we cannot have a solution we cannot move forward into our future unless every single American is considered part of that. And whenever we see oversights, you know oftentimes when we get to the negotiating table in laws and policy making there's this idea that oh! We can leave the poorest of the poor behind or we don't have to worry about this tiny sliver of the population because they're just a tiny sliver of the population and what that eventually does is that it creates a crack

1:07:11 And that crack, really if you think of there being like a crack in the dam it's usually where things always break down. When we create policy the right way with integrity that honors everybody from the most vulnerable to the most powerful, when we acknowledge and see every person in this country which is really what it's about is that we have chosen not to see people in this country. We have chosen not to see people in this country until the majority of us have become unseen economically Working people are not seen in the halls of Congress. Working people are not seen in policymaking until we realize that the majority of Americans are working or working poor." This is persuasion, and I think it's good persuasion. She said nothing about what she's doing! Nothing at all! She just spoke in identity politics to the entire world of identity politics groups and I think it's going to be very effective here's your punchline clip

1:08:14 The good news is that we're not starting from scratch. There are so many people like Van, like Senator Merkley who had established a select committee when he was in the House—a previous select committee—there's a lot of legislation that has been drafted to already start addressing some of these smaller issues just transitions and coal whether it's our energy infrastructure, whether it's battery when we're looking at battery grids and so on. There is a lot of work that has already been done but it needs to be consolidated and brought under the tent of a Green New Deal And when we try to solve this issue piecemeal We are not going to get it solved in time So what she saying is everything

1:09:01 that deals with the economy has to be in my select committee. You can't deal with it outside of it, you got battery grids? Whatever that is! That's in my group! Battery grids here!! That's why we are asking for this really great ambitious singular plan and that is why I believe that the progressive movement is the only movement that has answers right now We're the only ones that are drawing from the lessons of history, from Franklin Delano Roosevelt. From some of most ambitious projects that we have pursued in American history and that truly again is the scale it's going to take so you know I think there is so much work has been done and there are some outlying questions especially when it comes to investment technologies Here we go When we as a public choose to invest

1:09:50 in private, when we as a public choose to invest in new technologies we deserve a return on that investment. And for far too long we gave money to Tesla, we gave money to a ton of people and we got no returns on our investments that the public made in creating technologies and it's about time that we get our due because its the public that funded and financed a lot of innovative technologies and thats another You know, let me just... Oh Elon! So F you Elon with your no return on investment. Thank you AOC for saying that that's a fantastic example by the way finance By companies like Kleiner Perkins not that they pulled money out of their pocket They went to Washington they got the money was it five hundred million dollars just for fisker alone forget about all the money that Elon Musk has taken

1:10:42 And then we continue to subsidize those vehicles. Well, we have to remember that the only reason that we're getting raped and this money is being taken from the public which means your taxpayers and 500 million being sent off to a fisker that went out of business or a Solyndra or any these other companies is because people like her in this promotion of global warming nonsense at this level! Exactly So it's like a vicious cycle. It's like you create the phony problem and then you solve it with, then you soak people for money and then you give the money away and the money goes all these...it goes into somebody's pocket! It's not that it's actually being used for anything productive. It is not beneficial to anyone. The whole thing is a giant scam. Yes but our job is to help the millennials who are woke

1:11:39 There aren't that many. We have a few! Yeah, there are a few I'll take the ones we got because they're the ones that have somehow...I think a lot of them do poorly in school? That's why the programming doesn't work The ones who know how to fake it do well Right right. We got a note from Gabby Bentley She said millennial boots on the ground school report I'll just give you a couple choice bits. A bit of background, I was hit in the mouth by my dad and brothers who have been listening to the show for years My dad is even a knight He is Sir Snoops Magoo And... I met John at the meetup in Seattle! I'm the girl standing next him in the big group photo 24 year old, I live in Tacoma Washington I currently go to community college and have been For the last two year except for about five months last year when I did study abroad in Japan Here's a couple of observations I am just going to pick one or two

1:12:31 There, this is an important one. There's an epidemic of depression among Millennials I think that's because of social media and many quote disastrous things they read on It's causing their amygdalae to become enlarged Also many of my friends like to joke about the depression and romanticize it! It's almost as if that if you're not depressed You're not cool. Very troubling College after the election After Trump was elected, teachers and students at my school became absolutely unhinged. I took English 101 in the winter of 2017 and almost every class my teacher would spend a lot of class time spouting her opinions on Trump some of which i have a recording up send it

1:13:14 In spring of 2018 my history teacher would spend the first 10 to 15 minutes of class talking about what CNN had said about Trump the previous day. He even said during our unit on the Cold War, quote Putin is worse than Stalin! Needless to say I spent a majority of my time in that class rolling my eyes. So there are young people who are woke, and we need to help them as much as we can by exposing this farce but But, make no mistake. AOC and the DSA are on a fast track to power in Washington DC I don't see how Nancy Pelosi now with 25 members of the Sunrise Coalition or whatever they're calling it 25 new Democrats are all in Yeah, I don't think she can just say screw it we're not gonna do it She'll let them create it but I'm sure she will hamper it somehow

1:14:12 Well, she'll try to control it a little bit. She did the same thing with the jobs jobs jobs let's vote for jobs right and she was all in on that now is pretty much the same deal effect it sounds almost identical what was going on back into 2008. The difference is look at Ocasio-Cortez and look at Nancy Pelosi who were the kids gonna be attracted too? Yeah, no the kids are gonna obviously be you know. Are going to obviously be attracted to the more attractive of the two. The one? Which is her which is Miss Bug Eyes! The one who was slapping down history it's been done before FDR did the New Deal we're gonna do... When were a poor country? When we were a poor country we had no money we were just slubs standing in line for jobs. Fourth world and we can get battery grids

1:15:09 So there'll be a lot of mocking, don't worry. Plenty of mocking for us to do but I think she's on a fast track and i'm not going to discount her and it's now my beat You can have it And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C with a c stands for Cherophobic Dvorak In the morning to you! IN THE MORNING TO YOU! Mr.. Adam Curry also in the morning all foots on the ground feets in the air and foots in the air and Subs in the water if there's any and the dames and knights out there And in the morning to the troll room they're there with their troll poles ready to troll away at no agenda stream calm you can do it live every Sunday, and Thursday morning is when we Record the program and stream it out trolls are always helping

1:15:55 Yeah with their troll poles and also in the morning to once again the hat trick he did it Darren O'Neill Brings it on for he was submitted half the art He's like I'm getting this hat trick. I don't care what happens you did He did put like eight different pieces, and then there were some good pieces if I recall there were some things that we really enjoyed Yes, there are some unusable that we really enjoyed which is always funny for us And this was the This was the artwork that had Australia and a prawn, A happy prawn. A shrimp! A shrimp? I don't know what it was! Put another prawn on the barbie Cause no one in Australia calls them shrimp No one here drinks that Foster's lager

So there's a whole new Chris Wilson song for putting another prawn on the barbie which I'll play at the end of show mix so We have a few people to thank a number of executive producers and associate executive producers starting with Roy Pierce in Fort Pierce Florida no relation $334 you sent a note in Me send a check and a note We need more, you know.

1:17:53 This has been taken over by the Lib Joe's. Started receiving plenty of telemarketing calls and asked how these vendors found me, that's what he's doing now. Replies were that they were using a contact list that had been purchased from Dun & Bradstreet. I've never had a relationship with D&B so I visited their site and learned they had me listed as a firm that had not existed for a dozen years! In bad standing? In bad standing. So he's the executive producer, top of the list. Then Illuminati comes in with $333.33. Hey! Illuminatia nice! She is in Vista California. Hello gents with this donation I've achieved Damehood. Wooo! And she says that she wanted to point out to listeners that I achieved most of this with a $333.33 monthly subscription which curiously is their most popular monthly subscription

1:18:49 I treated it as any other bill and kept up with it even when I was unemployed. Just saying! Can I get a douchebag call out for my wonderful friends Joel, Mahi, and Patrick? And no, they won't take Bitcoin Patrick. Drop it on that note I want to extend my thanks to all of my friends out there in the know agenda universe for the jobs car which includes my amazing husband Brandon who stuck it out with me and showed me nothing but love and support through some tough times I got a ton of amazing.

1:19:34 I can't see why it can't jump to this line. Anyway, got a ton of jobs coming back in April when my contract...

When i wasn't able to get a job after that contract had concluded Full of the job, karma's power. Oh no! Let me tell you friends it works even if it's a little delayed last month I became a research associate and conduct research on cancer and infectious diseases. I'm absolutely in love with my job they told me that some of the diseases they researched include Ebola and Zika So now I'll be able to get some inside scoop on the research being done on any diseases that the media uses to scare the shit out of people and assure you that it really isn't as bad as they say or confirm that is really that bad. I've got to say, making art for this show is a ton of fun and I do whenever I can. I wanted to mention that Nick The Rat was nice enough to take time to give me a few pointers on Art Design

1:28:08 in Hawaii, $222. With the M5M lionizing the late George HW Bush I was almost certain that I had imagined all the shenanigans he and his administration got down to or had somehow slipped into another dimension. Fortunately for my sanity, the full-throated roar of Thursday's show cut through the droning of the pundits and the clips from Democracy Now were pure juice almost too delicious to believe! Thanks for the biweekly sanity check. Enjoy the bags of 11s, can I get some Reverend Manning whooping them with the constitution and a little girl boom shaka laka and some obligatory goat charma? Charma for those who... Charma?! I don't know about that. I don't know about that little girl boom shakalaka. Yeah! Boom Shakalaka!

And I put it in the newsletter but I can't find it in the email. Okay

No, I have it here dear Adam and John actually It says dear John and Adam a small faux pas ever since sir Mark hit me in the mouth in the early 200 episodes of no agenda I have fervently been listening each Friday morning And Monday morning due to the time difference in Japan to get my dose of sanity John Oh Your newsletters are always a great tease. But the recent one was just outrageous! Asthma cigarettes and no flies on me thanks to DDT It's baffling how over the years intolerance of the large gray scale of diverse opinions has grown, and more people feel compelled to simply take sides with either black or white with nothing in between I was stunned at Tim Collins

1:31:44 She's Tim Cook. Tom Collins' hypocrisy for wanting to welcome all refugees, while Apple itself carefully scrutinizes who is let through their door! A huge thank you for your courage in making the news plain to see to us all Also big thanks to all the producers especially The Art and Jingle Producers For keeping NA sparkly Happy festive season to you all Day Mastery Duchess of Japan And all the disputed islands in the Japan Sea Thank you, Dave Mastro.

1:32:28 The last newsletter, the one that went out with her note in it was also the most popular newsletter. It seems I got more feedback because people just love those animated gifs! Here i am thinking it's the great letters, the great testimonials but no guys shooting off firecrackers on their crotch always beats out intelligence and you worry about AOC being stupid come on That crotch one is the one that was the... No, I like the guy who drinks the burning liquid and then spills it on and then his face is on fire. That's my favorite! There are a bunch of other guys in there. My favorite part about that one? The guy's face is on fire so his friends are about to help him but the one douchebag near the front of the camera has to take one last drag on his cigarette

1:33:21 Hold on bro, I'm coming. I'm coming bro! You alright? And he spanks him with a towel in his face it's great just love that yeah these are the people who of course these people will believe in global warming hello they're setting their face on fire on purpose they're setting the crotch on fire with with with firecrackers oh crutch the true money shot that was good one Michael, and by the way this is the reason you want to subscribe to the newsletter.

1:34:48 There's something I wanted to mention from the last show when we played that woman who The faker that was talking about the babies and incubators and all that. Democracy Now clip, yes She also had some stuff in there that should have been sending off alarms You've been in the Middle East I have

1:35:35 If you ever notice that when you're driving like into the through the desert or any area where it is, usually on a highway or some sort of a paved road. Beautiful highways in Iraq they had the highway was eight lanes and you drove in the middle. Yeah, as it was same in Israel's that way there all these guys she made it sound like they're driving in the sand You listen to that clip because they got stuck, because they got stuck a couple of times. Because they're driving not on the highway or road They're driving literally in the sand which was just to promote the idea that this is just a bunch of sand Yeah, of course There's no cities there's no roads it's just sand Yeah man! Sand you know I caught The Intercepted That's Jeremy Scahill

1:36:29 Does a podcast for the intercept that 250 million dollar blog that Greg Greenwald on raf and PR omidyar started? Yeah And he did pretty much the same thing as Democracy Now! about Bush. He went really far just yelling about and going into great detail of the horrors and the death and destruction that HW Bush had brought upon the world, the ruthlessness... Wow this is another great example of someone not kowtowing to the normal M5M line It turns out you know where this guy came from? His first gig was interning

1:37:07 For Amy at Democracy Now! Yeah. Pretty good. She always has them on too. Preeeetty good. I like this. It's a little cult. Oh, a little cult? Molly molly... Well, it's a yeah. It's a little cold so we have it looks like now Trump is gonna change a bunch of people out which doesn't surprise me after the... It's the end of year! It always happens at the end of year you pick some people out. Now I don't have a rundown on there and the number of people but we do have apparent and I had all these little run downs by that El Sindoor woman on the main people that are leaving

1:37:47 And I would like to play them so we know, because for example Mark Miley the guy who was Army Chief of Staff the top guy. Oh, there's gonna be the Joint Chief? No he's not the Joint Chief guy He is an army guy oh this is the guy you like yeah Yeah You'd like this guy yeah I do like this guy and I have a couple that I still brought some of his old clips back okay because he's The one who gave that slightly longest at three minute 23 second clip on the world order I don't necessarily want to play it right now But it looks like Tillerson, well Tillerson's been gone for a while but they're gonna bring in Miley and then they're gonna move over Heather Newhart. Now... Nowhert! Her name is Nowhert yeah now I want to play this

1:38:36 clip about her by El Cendor because the mainstream media has gone after... They're going after her. Oh yeah, because she's one of them you see she was a Fox News babe although she's very accomplished in her own right but now she knows politics! She doesn't know nothing! This was a revealing clip Elcindor did a very good job of running, you know giving a rundown on her but she never threw in that she doesn't know what she's not so Judy throws it in at the end. Which makes me think that Judy is really the left winger there and once Gwen Ifill left Judy has like become kind of a nutball Heather Nowart she has been the spokesperson and assistant secretary of state What do we know about her? I'm going to quickly walk you through her bio She was spokesperson for the State Department

1:39:30 was she was appointed by President Trump in April 2017. She's a former correspondent for Fox News and a correspondent for ABC News, so she is someone who has a lot of experience in journalism I'm told today that President Trump appointed her because she's a good talker Shes' someone who has defended this administration foreign policy plans The president said shes very smart very quick People I've talked to say that she is someone who could talk, who could really come up to speed on the UN's dealings. That she can do the outside job which is giving speeches and that she can rely on her staff as much like Nikki Haley did to talk about other countries and get them to really support things that United States wants them to do. But no significant diplomatic experience? No significant diplomatic experience! You throw that in there Judy! How can they be mean about a woman?!

1:40:19 I mean isn't this the intersectionality we want? Isn't this the diversity that we speak, that we seek. Let's see she went to shitty schools Arizona State. That's a party school for all pretty girls. Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Mount Vernon College for Women. A master's degree from Columbia Let's see what she did. She did work at some pretty serious news organizations, ABC News. She contributed to ABC World News Tonight, Good Morning America Nightline. She was nominated for an Emmy Award for her news prowess. Yeah, she just... What does she know? Stupid! What does she know about anything?!

1:41:03 No policy, it's the wrong person. It's exactly the right person! Everybody who's you know all these jimokes who stand up there at the United Nations it's all PR everything they do every document The United Nations comes up with is just a we agree and recognizing that there's no binding things that come out of their except to veto once in awhile on the war committee whatever, the security council. Yeah the war council but otherwise it's totally and she's going to reign supreme you know what's gonna happen just to be a dick about it these old boys at the United Nations are like finally they sent us acute one after Samantha Power and yeah and by the way why is it predominantly women that we send there? Yeah they yeah your it's a good point I mean they've sent

1:41:56 It's been all women. I just been Hillary was there for a while Nikki Haley John Kerry, I think was there let's look at the list of all women Let's look at the list Haley Michelle Sison briefly Samantha Power Rosemary DeCarlo Susan Rice we have to go back to 2007 Who is this guy? Zalmay Oh Khalid odd Khaled odd Huh, there's something about a hell of an impact. Yeah really? Before that thought it was just an acting guy then it was Bolton Bolton in 2005 before that and Patterson Then we had Dan first nigger I'm going back in time so really you go back to You have to go back to 1993 where we find Madeline Albright

1:42:47 Who broke... Well, I guess she's the exception to the women's rule. No Jean Kirkpatrick in 1980- 1981 and that was it. The jet flies overhead! But at the last one two three four five you i think that it's time for a man this is not diversity if..I think it's time for a Chinese man from the United States American Chinese come on Why do you say that? Because we don't have... the ethnic is all whites. No, Susan Rice is not white! Samantha Power's not white! She's a gray. What does Samantha Power mean? She's a gray. She's a redhead. She's a gray. I thought she was reptilian personally. She's a ginger. She doesn't count.

1:43:40 Alright, so anyway the other guy they're putting in is this Miley character who I like as you say. Let's do the rundown. This is the Miley rundown on PBS that Al Sindor does. Millie, General Mark Millie to be the next chairman of The Joint Chiefs So this is someone else that I'm gonna have to pull up a graphic for he is a four-star general and an army chief of staff He is a special forces officer, he was. He commanded troops in Afghanistan and Iraq and Korea. And the people that I talked to who know him very well say that he's someone who is very blunt. He's someone that once he figures out that he's right or thinks that he's right as someone who's going to push for his point of view, that could mean that he gets along with President Trump, who also is someone like that, or that he could butt heads with the president instantly.

1:44:24 to deal with troops, he likes to visit troops. I talked to someone who spent time with him in Afghanistan and he told me a really funny anecdote and that anecdote is that he went to visit French troops or French battalion and they prepared baguettes which are traditional French bread for him and when he bit into this baguette his dentures got stuck in the bread! And the troops were saying oh my god we're so embarrassed and he said it's okay troops sometimes carry spare pair of teeth with me So he's someone who's really down-to-earth and was beloved in a lot of ways by troops So he could be someone who gets along with the president. He may need that sense of humor. Some riveting analysis of the war prowess of this man! Oh God... Well, I think the connection is the false teeth. Yeah? Trump! So they're all buddy-buddy like how about you then? They go to a room and like hey bro can we yeah let's just do it oh so nice talk without my dentist no one else

1:45:25 That's a pretty if we want we can listen to the Miley's this. We played on the show by almost two years ago Miley's report on the world order And how it works and what we do and how we fit into the scheme of things as a country I think it was one of the best analysis is Anyone's presented, and it's right from the horse's mouth the guy who has to implement it? I think this is extremely important I recall us both talking about it, and I'm happy to Give it another whirl. I heard Meier talk about the Army, we don't have a small army and but the question on size of forces Army Navy Air Force Marines It's a relative question that is not an absolute question it's a question of what do you want to do? How big do you want it as relative to the tasks you wanted to do The United States military is a global military And we have been for sure

1:46:18 since the First World War and with absolute certainty since the Bretton Woods Agreements at the end of World War II, which established essentially the international order, the rules and regimes by which the world runs today. So for seven decades The world has had a certain set of rule sets emphasizing things like free trade and international commerce, things like democracy, the quote-unquote liberal world order. Things like human rights and there's a whole wide variety of things out there then you've got institutions that it rests upon the United Nations in the World Bank and World Trade Organization all these things that were developed

1:46:53 many years ago. And that is essentially what people very quickly refer to as the world order One of the significant roles of the United States military for seven decades has been to enforce that world order, to maintain it, to maintain its stability and thats in our interest because in the first half of last century There was a bloodletting unlike any that had ever occurred in the history of mankind. So between 1914 and 1945, 100 million people were slaughtered in the conduct of war And that's a horrible horrible nightmare My mother and father both served in that war my mother in the Navy my father in the Marines He at the beach at Iwo Jima where 7000 marines were killed In 19 days 34 thousand wounded

1:47:41 22,000 Japanese killed on an island that was two miles by four miles. There were millions of Chinese killed in battle and murdered If you want a real trail of tears go to Eastern Europe and see what happened in Belarus and Ukraine Latvia Lithuania it's horrific nine out of every ten Jews that lived in Poland didn't live weren't alive in 1945 one out of every three males that lived in the Ukraine or Belarus were dead by 1945. It's a horrific... picture that occurred. And those people who were in leadership positions in 1945 said never again, we can't keep doing this this is insane they said the same thing in 1815 at the Napoleonic Wars and they set up a concert of Europe and that worked well for 100 years one century they kept along peace in Europe more or less there are couple minor flare-ups the Crimean War and Austrian war and few other wars but it wasn't a continental wide war until

1:48:39 1914. So we tried again in 1945 to set up a system that would try to maintain global peace and prevent war between great powers, and great power states throughout the world. That system is under stress intense stress today That system is under stress from revolutionaries and terrorists and guerrillas. It's under stress from nation states that don't like the rules of the road, that were written in want to revise those rules of the road. That system is under very intense stress. And we're at 70 years now. And that system has prevented great power war similar to what occurred in the first half of last century

1:49:17 Now, before you continue with your presentation I would like to play a clip that fits seamlessly with this which is why i'm happy you brought it. This is RT with their current version of what Russia – this is them pushing back on the nuke treaty – what they view as the new world order today. It's time for change! Time for the old ways to die. Time for a new, undisputed leader A new American world order Our mission is to reassert our sovereignty, reform the liberal international order. The central question that we face is the question of whether the system as currently configured and it exists today and does the world exist today doesn't work for all people in the world." The old ways are out-of-date United Nations is useless incompetent the IMF

1:50:13 is obsolete. European Union, pointless! All these international organizations unions treaties and agreements they only hinder America They tie its hands and cripple its power The logic is sound Wouldn't we all be better off if we just let America rule? America intends to lead. Now and always The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty Russia is violating it, says America Others aren't bound by it It hobbles limits Limits the United States And Washington's policy requires, it seems

1:50:56 More nukes, bigger nukes. Faster nukes One country in the world is bound by the INF Treaty. Us China's not bound by it Iran has an extensive IRBM capability but we have global responsibilities in Asia and Middle East We have to be responsive there too International democracy has failed Alliances have failed Nations cannot tell right from wrong. Everyone wants a say, but why let them? They no longer know what's good for them America is good for them This is what President Trump is doing

1:51:36 He is returning the United States to its traditional, central leadership role in the world. And so it seems we enter a new age an age where might makes right without all the fluff and lip service to partnerships and equality The old world order is dead Welcome...to a new American Age I like those two back-to-back Well, what it shows is that there's a misunderstanding because as Millie would say it was all part of the

1:52:14 post-world war two Bretton Woods and other agreements that we were taking this role on and all we're doing is Just reiterating that because it was actually I think somewhat weakened by Obama sir somewhat certainly weekend We're putting the jackboot to the head is what we're doing. And so now we have to crew we have to go strengthen it again because, again, the idea is to keep from having 100 million people killed within just a decade or two which was what happened before. This is the nature of Europe in general they want to fight each other and I've always thought that

1:52:58 that the EU experiment was just going to enable that again. Well, anyway he has a little bit of a finish on this part two doesn't say as much but it's not a bad rap similar to what occurred in the first half of last century so the question is how big an army do you want? How big a navy do you want well how much do you want that system How much do you value that system? Is that system worth preserving or not? Therein, you get to the size and scope of your armies, navies, air forces and marines. And rightly or wrongly fairly or unfairly the role

1:53:37 the arbiter of that system has defaulted to the United States for seven decades. There are other countries, 60 or 70 or more so that have allied themselves with their militaries to us and they make significant contributions but it is the United States that's been a leader with that system So the status of the army as part of the military force that works through maintain the stability of the world. We're a global military, we're a global army and we've got right now today about 180 thousand soldiers in the United States Army active duty reserve and National Guard deployed in about 140 countries around the world. Yes! We are number one So it remains to be seen how well this guy will get along with Bolton

1:54:25 who seems to be just some sort of a troublemaker. And even Trump, who's always bitching about all these soldiers we have stationed all over the place although I think he softened his position on that. Yes It'll be this is going to be an interesting situation with this guy taking being the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff No i don't know what kind of decisions he'll make We'll see no idea you know something listening to all this something just hit me about the true fallacy of The Green New Deal because it's kinda it just hit me Here's the problem. So they are saying we're going to make the world, but certainly the United States completely... We're gonna take you off oil so no more oil and we're gonna pay for that by printing money through the Federal Reserve That's what they said. What she says in her Green New Deal The problem is if you get rid of all the oil the dollar is no longer needed

1:55:19 No, this is a subversive. The whole Green New Deal and in fact the entire global warming propaganda that you mentioned was foisted on the children is an attempt to destroy the country Well, if yes because if she actually thinks she can pay for this by printing money for money that is no longer needed because oil is no longer in play. We would get the hyperinflation we're looking for. The idea is to destroy Western civilization as we know it. Yes! I've always thought she was subversive and I mean the whole social...the fact that they are proud of their word socialist

1:56:00 within their, you know the moniker Democrats Socialists of America whatever they call themselves. It's a subversive operation designed to kill the country reset everything and it's actually... You're right to even reset the balance everything these guys just said would be gone it will be gone we wouldn't have we wouldn't be important which I think is the plan don't be important Or as the millennials say, important. Important. Important. Important. Important. You know Schwarzenegger was out there at the... Was it Poland now? Where they doing the new climate change thing? Poland yeah. I think it's Poland. Some little burg in Poland some small town Yeah he was out there talking. What does he know? He knows a lot! Yes yes yes yes

1:56:56 No, you want to hear what he said or do you want to continue with what you were doing? No I want to hear what he said. Every time we talk about America You're right when you say that our leadership in Washington is a little bit backwards But you're wrong when you say that the America dropped out of the Paris Agreement Because if you look a little bit beyond Washington, you will see that it is the states and the cities. There's local governments that control 70% of our emissions And he was he or extraordinary work that is going on in a state city level in America So the states and the cities are still in now in the Paris agreement Our financial institutions are in then pay academic institution is still in the governors

1:57:41 And the mayors are still in. The United States is still in and we're doing extraordinary job there by staying in Yes, we have a Meshugganah leader in Washington that is not in that is out But remember that America's more than just Washington one leader Yeah good old uh... Meshugganah? Yeah he threw in a little Yiddish there for us Well the best quote he had was during the Q&A And it's a little different audio, it was a different mic but you'll hear what he... If he really could do what he wanted to do, he'd do this. I wish that I could be the Terminator in real life To be able to travel back on time and stop all fossil fuels when they were discovered

1:58:34 He's serious. We'd all be living in mud huts! Yeah, he wished you could stop all fossil fuels before they were discovered. Mm-hmm yeah Wow yeah yeah yeah well what are you gonna do? Carbon higher than ever here's a PBS report Carbon higher than ever. Yes, this is a kind of an agenda 2030-ish show There is word that global carbon emissions have reached record new highs in 2018 rising the most in seven years An international scientific group the Global Carbon Project makes that projection based on figures from the US China Europe and India The findings mean some of the goals of the 2015 International Paris Climate Accord may be nearly out of reach

1:59:26 I'm not gonna make it. It's out of reach, you know see what happens. We're gonna die Well, maybe improve things that come is never ever anything good comes of anything You know Jean sir Gene I had lunch with him and Dan Benjamin on Friday Oh the interesting little lunch yeah And he had his producer with him Dandid does all the production for his network there? and and I don't know why I kind of hung back on this conversation just listen but gene was talking about a The dinosaurs or those two that nerds you know the time of the time they were talking about some show or something where you know Maybe it was Jurassic Park 18 I don't what they're talking about but Jean said gene, you know genes are ready set up jet jeans a reptile guy He's got the big snakes and everything. Yeah, it was all about reptiles he says actually the problem we have today is We don't have enough carbon dioxide

2:00:20 He said we don't have enough, in order to have more oxygen which could sustain dinosaurs because their lungs are so big there's literally not enough... I'm paraphrasing. There's not enough oxygen components in the air that we breathe to keep the dinosaur alive and that's the difference with back when the dinosaurs were around because these CO2 levels were incredibly high everything was incredibly green and the earth was a great place except for the dinosaurs So his thesis is we need a lot more of CO2. If we had more CO2, it would be greener? Yeah! We'd have more trees and the trees give off... what is that stuff? Oh yeah oxygen! This is not an unknown thesis by the way this has been presented before I say gene for climate czar is what I say Crank up to CO2 Before we go to our break just a quick note

2:01:11 about our model which is the value for value model we've always seen the way to run this type of media experience as something valuable try to do a bang up job create an outstanding product and have people participate in the product. As producers no one's a listener you're just your producer by contributing to the product itself but also by financing it and we early on saw or learned very quickly that is much smarter to say what is it worth to you send us that amount and help people understand the differences in, or what value of time is. Or value of entertainment time spent? What kind of laughs did you get or where did you learn? And that's worked well for us

2:01:56 When this model started to spread things came along that intermediated this proposition where we have pretty much two ways, three ways you can contribute financially to the show. One is through PayPal which you can do with a credit card or your PayPal account the other one is through checks what's the P.O box again? Yeah, you can send a check to Box 339 El Cerrito California 94530. You can rewind that if you want to hear it again and people like doing that and there's... And if you send a check sometimes you could send a little note or something like most of the checks do come through the banks though so people go to a bank or a credit union or one of the online payment systems and then they sign up there and then the check is mailed from the bank

2:02:44 A lot of credit unions do this, or even sometimes pop money. You can get money that way too and that goes to the post office. I mean a lot of it goes through the post office box in piles of checks in a little envelope from a bank Or a popped money go straight into the bank itself and then comes out of a credit union too There's ways of doing it And I'm always baffled by the fact people aren't Doing it that way and instead are using a third party to do this. I mean we use PayPal's at third party So you're almost you're taking one removed from even that it doesn't really make a lot of sense to me Yeah, and this is what happened with patreon? And I think we said hey great idea love what you doing love the transparency Aspect of it now We have our own transparency we give everyone's name in the amount that they donated think that's very transparent We published that information

2:03:36 But Patreon was putting a piece in between it as you say and we from the beginning said this is not a good idea. You also can't receive checks, and it's just another place for you get cut off at the knees which appears to have happened under the control of MasterCard who is their payment processor And I'm referring now to the de-platforming from Patreon of Milo Yaponopoulos I thought there was more than just him. I thought they've deplatformed about five or six people, and they already did Alex Jones Oh yes no there's several of them but the reason and they had sent him an email The reason he was deplatformed because of his association with The Proud Boys Yeah So what it doesn't even specify so...I think it even says your association in the past

2:04:28 with Proud Boys who have been falsely called... Some marginalized group. I'm not even too familiar with them Well this is Gavin McGinnis, the guy who started Vice And you know, they were very quickly by the Southern Poverty Law Center who work with the FBI deemed as an extremist group. Although the FBI... that's been reprinted it's kind of like 97% of scientists agree. The Proud Boys are extremist group, they're racist, their Nazis etc I think there is enough evidence to show them that they're not but i do want to go back almost a year

2:05:07 to show you what this kind of pressure, and I'll say pressure. This also comes on the heel of heels of the God...I'm sorry, the Pope Tim Cook, The Pope of Silicon Valley? Make no mistake he is The Pope because when when you've got your app your Patreon app and that's how people use Patreon they use the app When that's on your iPhone and the App Store, you do not want to get into trouble with the Pope. With Pope Cook! So you have to do things, you have to make sure it's obvious that you're on board so YOU don't get deplatformed. That's what happening because here is the CEO of Patreon just seven months ago speaking with... on The Rubin Report Dave Rubin about the creators and this is another thing that pisses me off What is this creator business? Yes our creators on the platform. F off with your creators!

2:06:07 I mean that's, what is a creator? Yeah. Creator it's a horrible moniker anyway they had nothing to worry about just seven months ago. Do you not at all because there were a couple of pretty terrible articles written about me that talked about Patreon as well Mother Jones wrote a really awful libelous piece about me further to the right than Breitbart or something and those people... And by the way in both cases mentioned Patreon yeah, so you're saying that stuff has nothing to do whether it gets across your desk or not has nothing to do with any of this That's not in our content policy like what one particular paper says about a person or someone's opinion about a person Not in our content policy. You can't scale a system based on

2:06:51 other people's opinions about people on your platform. That would be ineffective and just bad content policy so no I don't care who says what about you or anyone else we care what you do right? We care what the behaviors are that are not against the content policy and by the way gosh one thing i feel like i just have to say, I want to send this message... That is why you're here! Creators watching this, you just don't have to worry about this shit. You just don't have to worry about it. People like you and people... most people who are engaging in healthy dialogue and talking about tough issues This is not something that concerns most creators And it kills me a little bit that there's this fear One of the things Sam Harris said In the podcast where he talked about leaving Patreon

2:07:45 was like, there's this wave of deplatformings. And I just—it kills me that there is that fear there and it doesn't have to be there for most creators." OK, creators! Nothing to be afraid of, creators! Gosh! We need to bring GOSH back. It's so cute, gosh. Oh gosh golly! Gosh golly gee! Oh gosh... Yeah, well if you recall when Patreon was first introduced to the scene we had a lot of people of our producers on our, of our show saying I don't know why you're using PayPal. I don't know why are doing this? You could use paid, you should use patron and even though people like Jen Briney who knows how to do all this without patrons she even did Patreon as an additional and you could see it as doing some additional thing with Patreon under too but we were against it

2:08:43 because it was a, I mean PayPal has de-platformed people too and that's always a risk. But this is like, Patreon seems to have more common sense about it. It's about them making money and it's not about a lot of other stuff and there's not kind of this middle man who probably does a lot of the business through Patreon So why would you use a middleman like this and then you're out there beckoning? We looked at the terms of service. Yeah, There was a lot of stuff in there that we didn't like. There's nothing like that with PayPal. There are no terms of service about what we do. No, there is one thing you can't do

2:09:29 But you can't disparage PayPal. Oh, yes. PayPal does have a non-disparagement clause which is fairly recent. Yeah but you cannot say shit about it so we actually don't disparage PayPal but I don't see any reason to disparage them anyway because we've had nothing but good luck with them even though others have some complaints let's be side the point Patreon is introduced as a system that takes, it just doesn't make any sense to me. I would much rather encourage people sending checks where there's no, you know the bank takes their little transaction fees but Patreon does this and then they have control of your operation

2:10:11 We have with PayPal and MailChimp, which is another operation that's deplatformed people. But we have the mailing lists. Every customer has ever paid us through PayPal I have their email and their home address and I can get all that information what do i get from Patreon? And it's just I never liked the idea of this operation. No, and and I don't see what it does that you can do yourself. And that's part of it is just laziness. I think this is lazy. And here's the other thing let me give you this. This is one of those are really like PayPal

2:10:50 If you've noticed, anyone who gets the newsletter will notice this. We have these offers that change and I change the offers like constantly and it's a matter of a little, it's not even coding, it's PayPal does all this work to create new buttons so I have probably four pages of, I think we routed 400 different offers over the years some of them are long gone and we don't use them anymore but they're still there and you can keep creating new ideas. Oh, let's do a special because we have show 1100 coming up which will be our first show of the year 2019 will be show 1100 and I can do a special whole series of special offers like patron doesn't give you any of that

2:11:33 Here's your goal, here give us some money. I mean it is so simplistic. You cannot leverage anything with Patreon. I really don't like this the way they set up it just doesn't make any sense if you're into marketing in the least It's just like why don't you Throw away half your income because that's what you're doing when you're using an operation And again, I'm going to say that this deep platforming ever since Pope Collins Pope Cook came out and said it's us. We're making technology only useful for good That was the moment and of course they were also the first ones to de-platform Alex Jones everybody went after that is Because they hold immense power over

2:12:18 with their app store. It is because all the journos have iPhones, all the elites have iPhones and you do not want to be deplatformed so if you're promoting a guy who was associated with The Proud Boys and you've already been deplatformed from someplace once and your on Patreon this guys thinking holy crap we gotta get him or anybody else off otherwise the Pope will take us off of the App Store! Its a cavalcade cascade of deplatforming And also you think that Patreon is shaking in its boots. Yes, of course they are! Their app is incredibly important to their business They need to... people use Patreon I think through their app and pretty sure You're probably right and they can't have that association Really never understood why people wanted us to use it but I think it's because there's a certain kind

2:13:15 Well, I'm on Patreon. Let me click-click...I'll give these guys $5 and these guys a dollar or dollars five four dollars to them In fact we make donating hard What's our donation URL? Is it donate to noagendashow.com is it no agendashow slash donate No! It's dvorak dot org slash na. It's the stupidest marketing move you've ever made but Once you have a jingle, we have a jingle. Now before I go into the break, I did want to read this quick note from Miranda regarding Tim Cook Pope cook

2:13:56 I have two degrees in English and writing. I just want to comment on the Deus Ex Machina explanation by Tim Cook, this was his you know the machine we built the machine and we are the God in the machine We all of us Silicon Valley we are the gods! I am the Pope of Hellfire! Ah were gonna get a literary Definition. Yes, much more accurate. To clarify the machines functioned to bring the gods as characters to the stage at the end of the play to rescue the protagonist of the play however what's interesting to me and what

2:14:32 Pope Cook did not mention is the impossible situation the protagonist was being rescued from, which usually the violent undoing or murder of all supporting characters. It's called deplatforming now! One of the most famous examples in Medea being rescued by Jason's chariot after she slaughters all her children I thought it was interesting and possibly ironic that he was framing his analogy in a benevolent light when the tradition usually revolves around horrific acts and total destruction in the world in which the play takes place. So, will Apple be ultimately resolved from their sins? Think about it! Thank you Miranda.

2:15:23 And indeed we do mention the people that give us help and support the show and produce this show. In fact, twice a show Kimberly Davis at the top of the list here in Enid Oklahoma $133.33 she needs a de-douching You've been de-douched I'm gonna read her note.

Gobbits, gobbits, gobbits $123 and 45 cents He's got a birthday coming up And he needs some jobs, I'll put that at the end with Kimberly's Carl Schneider in Lake Bay Washington $109 and 20 cents Oh, Gobbits was 1 2 3 4 5 By the way He did say that Show 1092 is probably one of the best he has ever heard Oh really?

2:23:45 Of all Southwest Ohio, congratulations to them and thank you again for your courage and for support of the work here at The No Agenda Show. It is highly appreciated! And we're back... We are back! Yes A couple little just side things they got the Kevin Hart story which I think is funny it's funny in a very sad way but now this is his tweets from 2009 Yeah, where he was a lot of them. I have a bunch of My question is were they funny in 2009? They might have been I don't know if the word fag was funny back then or the war His his role in the comedic realm made it okay for him. I'm sure is in context It was perfectly fine back then to die Don't know if it was III do have this story being bounced and I do have a part of his gay bashing stand-up routine yeah

2:24:42 Which one do we do first? Which is kind of what his tweets were like. It was pretty, the Stanford team seems pretty mild I think Eddie Murphy had more gay bashing material than this guy but let's play the background so that we can get this a little... What do you call it? The real news segment Kevin Hart found some Oscars And the host of this year's Oscars, Kevin Hart has stepped down following public outcry over his past homophobic tweets. Most were posted from 2009 to 2011 and some were deleted Last night the actor and comedian tweeted that he didn't want to be a distraction and he apologized for quote insensitive words from my past

2:25:28 And now, back to real news. There it is! So most of it would be I think most of his gay tweets or anti-gay tweets are just gay...I don't know what they call them They're just snide comments But this pretty much based on this little segment from one of the standup routines which has been reposted on most of the stories about this I got a lot of fears, man. I got a lot of fears as a parent. Let me tell you guys one my biggest fears is my son growing up and being gay. That's the fear! Keep in mind that i'm not homophobic. I have nothing against gay people be happy do what you want to do but me being heterosexual male if I can prevent my son from being gay I will now with that being said I don't know if I handled my sons first game moment correctly like

2:26:15 Every kid has a gay moment okay every kid, but when it happens you got to nip it in the bud You gotta stop it right there. Hey stop that's good quick I Don't know I don't know if i handled my son's situation right, okay? He had a birthday party right. My son had a birthday party he is playing you know when kids play they just play you dont'know what they doing but they having good time They are just doing bunch of stuff Right? Moving around I said okay he is good I finished talking and turn back around to check on my son again A little boy was grinding on my sons ass He was like this...I didn't know what do I panicked and knocked them both down Hey

2:26:55 What's going on here? What kind of party is this? What kinda party is this?! What's going on here?" This lady came out, she was like, what are you doing to they kids let them play. I said well you showed me another kid getting fucked in the ass and I'll calm down My son had on corduroys that why I had an attitude Cause' I didn't see it! All I heard was... Who the hell is playing cards?? Is somebody shuffling cards They're too young for spades here. The thing that pissed me off, here's what pissed me off man I was eating a buffalo wing when it happened and i should have dropped the wing and ran over there but I licked my fingers first. I didn't mean it! I said hey! The black in me came out

2:27:46 Okay, now contrast that. Just stay in that moment not even 10 years ago. Contrast that with this piece about Joanna Olson She is from the Division of Adolescent Medicine at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and she does research on transgender youth. And you will understand why Kevin Hart is not hosting the Oscars The research that I do in addition to the clinical work that I do, Is really involved with understanding what these young people experience What is their experience as a young person who doesn't feel like they were born in the body that matches their internal sense of their gender.

2:28:32 You know, there's astounding rates of suicide attempts among trans youth. So about 50% of trans youth have attempted suicide by the time they're age 20 so this is a serious public health implication. For those young kids who are starting puberty and have strong gender identities that don't match their bodies those young people can really benefit from not ever going through the wrong puberty for the first time In older kids or adults who have already gone through their endogenous puberty, those young people have to go through a second puberty. Well we don't even like going through one puberty frankly nobody really likes it the first time so it's very hard for them It's much easier if we can halt their puberty early on in the process

2:29:13 and let them be suspended for a little bit, and then put them through the right puberty that corresponds to their brain. This is what we do over in our program if we get kids early enough in the process We put them on puberty blockers or medications that actually keep their body from progressing through that wrong puberty If they come in older They may be appropriate patients to go onto hormones That will allow them to either feminize or masculinize their body which gives them a body that's much closer to their internal gender identity. And so I'm really hoping that people understand this lives in the medical world, it necessitates for some people medical intervention and that's really important and it has to stop being political and religious issue on mental health issue. The mental health piece of it comes from the way that the outside world responds to these young people and adults as well but

2:30:05 I work with young people, that's who i understand and i understand the experiences and the trauma that they undergo because they don't have an aligned gender identity in the rest of their body. So without judging... Oh my god! Without judging either one, I just want to show the contrast between 10 years ago Kevin Hart making-making-that's a skit it's a written bit and tweeting about that at the same time, and it was clearly okay. It was okay from Kevin at the time, it was okay with Twitter at the time... And now you see what is happening by the way it's nothing- The mental issues only comes after the fact Two doctors seriously telling us that a good idea to

2:30:54 administer drugs to delay puberty so the child can go through the right puberty and not the wrong puberty. That clip almost made me ill I'll give you a clip of the day, by the way. I'll take it! I think it's deserved because it's insane. The child abuse is what I would say. Yeah, I would say its child abuse and it also contradicts the idea that we're all kind of the same... It doesn't make any difference if your man or woman. We are all equal equal equal so egalitarians would say What difference does it make? What was just-what's the point of stopping in natural process

2:31:34 And just letting that go through because at the end of the day, we're pretty much all the same and would just live with their personality quirks. That's what we're supposed to believe yes. Yeah well thats kind of a change now. I'm telling you it is more deballing of the male You know Amsterdam is seriously considering cancelling the gay canal pride parade. Why? Yeah, the Gay Pride Canal Parade which is a big deal. Yeah why? Well you know remember these are the people who removed the I Amsterdam sign

2:32:19 Well, you know it's getting a little out of hand. You know it's a little too much for the city I think it's the gays. I think that there is something about the particularly white gay males That are no longer fitting in the LGBTQQIAAPK equation. I think they're starting to be shunned Yeah, yeah. You've pointed this out before it was like a kind of a subtext of the gay non-community Yes The actual the or the OG gays the original gays The gay guys because you know women gays were called lesbians that I don't know then whatever your call doesn't matter I'm just saying they're being singled out They're getting in trouble taking away that party student two things. I want to get out of the way because is important okay?

2:33:14 One is the Huawei arrest. Yes, thank you! Let's do that right now because I knew you were going to be on it... Because you promised that in the newsletter and you actually were which is fantastic Tell me all about it. I promise when i deliver usually but... I've not focused on it. Let's play this clip A Chinese telecommunications executive is facing multiple fraud charges in the United States for allegedly violating US sanctions against Iran Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou was arrested on Saturday in Canada at the request of the US. Today she appeared in a Vancouver court for her bail hearing, her arrest sparked fears of an escalation in a trade war between the U.S and China Huawei is the world's largest supplier phone internet technology us intelligence agencies have accused the company of spying for China okay

2:34:12 I believe this was done by the deep state and against Trump's wishes. It's interesting you say that, that's exactly the first thing i thought is this is to muck up whatever trump is trying to do with China Yeah and this is the daughter of the founder of the company there are all kinds of dimensions to it And now you start hearing from mainstream media she can get life in prison She's not gonna get a day in prison. They may fine the company, but this is just an attempt to embarrass the administration I'm convinced of. I agree with you. I totally agree. I think that's exactly what happened there And it has to do with her involvement in an operation in 2009, I believe she's not even involved with any... This is something of a scam

2:35:03 But we'll see, I mean nobody likes Huawei. So let's start with that premise so there is that element. Nobody likes Huawei they are considered dirty players in the telecom business their whole idea is and I've been told this by people who have worked there got same story in Brazil from somebody who worked there. I got the story in Europe from somebody work...I got the story here Here's where do it They got a couple of guys spying on Ericsson. Ericsson goes into a company, Company Z and makes an offer about some big telecom deal and then they leave. Boom! The Huawei people go in and they say what did Ericsson... What was their price? We'll cut it in half. I will do half. We'll do for half the price. And that's their whole business model which is following around Ericsson salesmen

2:36:00 So they, and there's some belief that maybe they have some back doors. But I don't actually do...I actually don't believe that. I think people just irk by the fact that their business model is so sleazy Well, isn't that kind of what China does just in general? I think so. Yeah yeah but these guys are really good at it i ran into them once at a trade show way when they were halfway they were right at the beginning and they were creepy as a creepy operation there's always secretive they wouldn't talk you know They didn't like talking to the news media. It's like they were doing something wrong, so they have a guilty conscience but they apparently make a nice smartphone I think it's one i'm gonna get

2:36:41 when I upgrade. That's what all the Europeans are buying Huawei phones, they're really moving away from the iPhone at least just in the general population popular kind of thing that is going on Yeah well it is a nice phone especially so they got some nice colors of those cases It is a really pretty phone very metallic it's modern looking and has all this pretty close to Google model for Android doesn't have all these extra features that kinda mucked up the way Samsung does Mm-hmm. So I don't know just thinking about it, but that's the Walway stores I don't know where this is going, but I will follow it Okay excellent Also another story they got my attention as the Don Hewitt

2:37:25 is now a creep CBS story that was presented to us by NBC. CBS, as far as I know did not play this story. Sexual misconduct and secrecy at CBS News this time involving the late Don Hewitt the man behind 60 Minutes. NBC's Anne Thompson has the details Don Hewitt created 60 Minutes. Good evening! Over 36 years building a legacy of journalistic excellence, ratings dominance and now allegedly sexual harassment The New York Times reporting in the 90s CBS settled with a female employee who claimed Hewitt sexually assaulted her several times and ruined her career

2:38:04 This according to a draft investigative report looking into CBS's culture. The original settlement reports the paper was for $450,000 it's been amended six times and now exceeds five million plus seventy-five thousand dollars a year. Wow! Hewitt died in 2009 Why is CBS still paying this money? Clearly CBS still wants to keep this woman quiet and the payments that they've agreed to stretch until the end of her life. CBS had no response. Investigators reportedly say the misconduct of Hewitt's successor Jeff Fager was less severe. Fager was fired after sending a threatening text message to a CBS News reporter covering allegations against him

2:38:48 According to the Times, investigators say the firing was justified. Fager said he was only demanding fairness in coverage and regrets how we did it still unknown who will be the next leader of CBS's legendary broadcast. Anne Thompson NBC News New York Wow what a hit piece and what a great story! What a story gets paid until the rest of her life is like the lotto! That's a win! Ruined your career! Who cares? Ruin mine please That's crazy. I wonder what happened, that's 450... I wonder what happened and who this is and now the way they presented the story it's like we have to find out but i don't know if we can because its really under lock and key Wasn't Hewitt didn't he kill the anti-tobacco story on 60 minutes wasn't that him? I think it may have been him yeah Huh no what the heck did he and why is this coming out now what is the point

2:39:41 to do an NBC hit piece. These networks are now... But they don't care about the victim who has, you know been carefully kept quiet and she's gotten her due for sure uh for her career being ruined she has a income for the rest of her life I mean i don't know what happened I'm just going on the facts sounds like okay? And then why why are we gonna do this just to make CBS look like crap because they don't have Now that Moonves is gone, and Moonves... It's like kicking CBS when they're down. Well that's you might as well! What am I saying? Of course! That may be the only shot-shot you have. Way to go perfect oh yes it's so great knowing that neither of us will ever be pulled into one of those scandals that much yeah we haven't yeah no not gonna wait but now say at least by that comparison
