Yeah No

00:00 No, I love Tool. Who doesn't? Groovin' to a green new deal and broadcasting live from the Capitol of the Drone Star State here in downtown Austin Tejas in the Cluedio. In The Morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry, And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're expecting another Zephyr beater and I'm predicting a nine car train. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! In The Mornin'! You can really tell you gotta get out early today

00:39 Just tossing toss just tossing away lines. They're not even trying man Nine nine cars zephyr beater, please yeah The number of cars has been varying during the Christmas season actually from Thanksgiving on there was a ten car trains mostly Generally it's an eight-car train But I'm noticing if you nine cart trains coming by oh All right, and do these include the passengers or is it all passengers? Or it's all passengers except for that. Yeah There's one car that appears to be a baggage car fabulous Well I am not quite sure what is going on But I do know that you need to get out on time today And I'm thinking I'm thinking that's because you know you obviously have some work to do tonight

01:30 And that might be what? Well, even though you said you gave up the beat I think you got to go back on it. For the first time ever a transgender woman will compete for the title of Miss Universe This competition takes place this weekend in Bangkok Angela Ponce, Miss Spain says she's proud of her role as pioneer I think that mindsets are changing. Today there are positive references, people speak about the LGBT community and the transgender community before it was always underground never spoken about. I think that people are more and more informed all these prejudices come from disinformation. Ponce says she entered the fashion world a decade ago when she's been in beauty contests for last three years She is gorgeous! She is isn't she? Wow And I love the dress

02:23 There you go, the first transgendered participant in the Miss Universe contest. We've been predicting this for years The question is will she win? No For one thing there's a couple of things I'll give my predictions I may or may not cover this I doubt it but because I already said we're gonna stop doing this But here's what's going to happen and I've seen enough of these She's maybe going to get to the top five so they can ask her a question. So we can hear her voice other than the opening voice, but we want to see what kind of brain she has so they'll ask her something. It'll be lame."

03:07 And then she'll end up, I don't think she'd be first runner-up but she'll probably come in third or fourth or something. She may get knocked out. She doesn't have a very...I'm not even gonna get into it in any details but I think she needs to be nice if she had a little smaller waist Oh, you've actually done your diligence chunky. John! You can't say chunky...you should know better than this Well it's not chunky in the sense that what we think of as chunky but by the beauty pageant standards I'd say yes No, real chunky has an American style to it Right I just don't see that being that interesting

03:56 Yeah, you should get as far she gets which will probably be you know maybe in the top five She may be bumped it. You know after in a top ten they bump on me. You know this nothing special going on She does have the advantage of not having to do like in them Certain competitions where you have to have a skill God she doesn't have a skill she's just a skill or not But she doesn't have you don't need to do skills in this conversation or okay? So I'll Lennice yeah gotcha So I'm not that jacked up about this. You know, I am still interested. I didn't say I was jacked up about it but you know the bookies the odds makers are saying she's got a good shot to win at least in ones in the UK but yeah they like to hype everything there's no chance in hell she's gonna win okay well you're the official officiating officiate auto and if they're taking bets on his I'd bet against it all right good

04:54 Sorry, so what are we... We got other things going. I was watching the Leave It means leave it convention of all these... I gotta get some clips for the next show. Brexit. It's fascinating to listen to these EU Brexiteers give their little speeches and it's interesting they have stuff in this 500 page tome that Theresa May wants I'm in agreement with a lot of these to say what's the point of any of this? Why should we be giving 39 billion to the EU, let's just walk. Let's walk from the deal! Everyone is talking no Brexit, yeah everyone i talked to was saying it looks like its going to be a No Deal Brexit That would be the way to go You want to hear Tony Blair real quick he weighed in Well this guy is off the... He's not helpful to Theresa May's plight that for sure What leaders were saying

05:47 When I first started having this conversation a year ago, they would say to me it's never going to happen another referendum. I think the mood has changed in the last couple of months and now people are saying well could it really happen? I need to get the European leaders to the next stage which is just realise that the probability is it's going to happen and they've got to prepare for it because one important component in any such refought referendum will be whether Europe is prepared to meet what are not just British concerns around the issues to do with immigration but a European wide concerns. And, I think you could put together the right type of

06:25 deal, if you like for which wouldn't just be about Britain it would be about Europe and accepting that freedom of movement in Europe has got to operate in a way that's fair and just doesn't undercut wages. There is not going to be no deal unless there are combinations of accidents in government and parliament I can foresee so I'm not saying its impossible but why would Parliament do that? There is massive majority in parliament against No Deal they're definitely gonna prefer referendum to No Deal So I don't think, no deal is not the worry. The worry is that we end up with a kind of botched Brexit which is frankly this deal that's on the table at the moment." So he still pushing for a do-over? Yeah!

07:08 Yeah, him and a few other losers. Globalists. Big globalists. Globalism is all it is. I mean we just give up our sovereignty and we're done in the EU can tell us what to do. It's not even that he's... Brussels will make the rules He's not even that he's back to the freedom of movement The freedom of movement That's the only thing the only sticking point they seem to have this freedom of movement It's because it requires a work visa in different countries. Like I had needed a work visa when I lived in London, I had to have a visa This is very normal Did you get one? Yes of course I got one Well was there pain in the ass? I didn't feel free in my movement

07:49 Well, there you go. Because I had to fill out a form! You had to fill out a whole form? And it'll take hours and days?! Yes...and everyone's going- no. Everyone is going to have to fill out forms. Oh this is what its' gonna be like for traveling! The EU has confirmed the introduction of the ETIAS which will become operational in early 2020 ETIAS stands for EU Travel Information and Authorization System. All eligible travelers, regardless of age that visit Europe from 2020 onwards will be required to obtain approved ETIAS online prior to their departure

08:26 The new requirement for European Electronic Travel Authorization, such as the ETIAS is to strengthen EU border controls. Travellers will be required to complete an online application form that covers a range of biometric travel and security related questions The EDIAS application will then be electronically processed within 96 hours and the authorization will be delivered by email. Travelers data will be checked against European and international databases, including no-fly lists to identify potential terrorists and criminal threats will then be refused entry via the EDIAS. Sounds like the same process for coming to America to me!

09:10 Travelers that fail to obtain an EDIOS will not be permitted to board a plane or cruise ship to an EDIOS member country. Visitors with a valid EDIOS will be available to travel to EDIOS member countries, which include popular European destinations such as France Germany Spain Italy and 18 other countries for EDIOS news launch updates and travel alerts Visit Eddie us calm. Yeah, I love that guy Eddie us dot-com It's riveting stuff Wow eddiest comm yeah, so it's like Same thing we have yeah, well fill out a form or buy a ticket gonna be all right

10:02 So you had a clip, something? No. Oh you had nothing! Oh okay... I just have discussion. Ah. I brought my discussion with me. Okay. I do know that the situation is getting dire and it's not being helped by anybody and I think they should just go with the no deal Brexit. Just get out. The longer this drags on, the worse its gonna be Yeah, there's all kinds of issues with the no-deal Brexit though. And even though I... What? Wow! It's making a... I'm armed by the way. I am armed with this information from the Leave or Not Leave conference so... Tell me what is it... what are the consequences of a No Deal Brexit? Nothing?!

10:46 Okay, then how do we do trade with the EU? I'll just be same way the United States does or the same way Norway does or the same way Switzerland alright But we don't have a deal in place yet. Sorry We don't have a deal in place. We don't have any trade agreement Huh what he need to deal for But you need a trade agreement, don't you? Don't you need a basic trade agreement or not. I buy stuff from Europe and use other systems and the stuff comes over...I don't have a trade agreement with the EU when i buy my PG tips. Oh come on! You know that's all kind of stuff that goes on behind-the-scenes even when you order something through Amazon from the UK Yeah. And I don't know what conference you watch but it was lame

11:33 No, it wasn't. You got no answers! I'm asking you a serious question. I'm telling you the answers that is the answer this is... The consequences are minimal said the man who lives not there? I don't live there That's what i mean At least I beefed up on the info based on the leave-it or not leave-it Or leave-it means leave at conference Alright so what was your takeaway from the conference This is a lot of nonsense. We just got it we what am I saying? We I get nothing to do with it I don't know you're getting pretty tight with those levers all jacked up by it the It's just get out

12:10 Get out while you can well They've certainly seemed to scare the British public into thinking that is the worst possible option as witness Tony Blair just told us so So well, that's exact. That's one of the things at this conference dealt with Is the fear-mongering right and if one guy this guy was like there's one pub the Pub King of England who owns like a thousand pubs famous character Tim something He, I'll get some clips for the next show. Oh no he was a big supporter of Brexit early on we would think we have a clip of him somewhere years ago. He's uh...he goes on and on about how this is a bunch of fear mongering it's got nothing to do with anything and it just scared the public into trying to do a redo because you can keep doing that over and over again until somebody doesn't show up they win. Uh..it's not

13:02 I think the whole thing is, after listening to these characters all of major both sides of the aisle. I mean labor and Tory folk Irish and non-Irish and Scots and everybody else in between they think the whole thing is a scam that there's this fear mongering and the pub guy goes on about you know how The eurozone was created and all the nonsense that went on with that, all the fearmongering. And in the fearmongering of Brexit vote itself, the stock market was going to collapse and the economy is going into a tailspin if you voted yes. Nothing happened! The pound lost some value. All the British bankers are gonna leave nobody left

13:43 In fact, they got more people working in London now than before. It's just one thing after another this is a what is something of a fraud? Hmm well then the fraud is the 39 billion euros that's the real fraud everyone They really all have we got into says what is the point of giving them thirty nine billion when? What it's doing is saying the no-deal brexit means We've got thirty nine billion dollars in our pockets right and Wait a minute, that's even if you have an no deal Brexit who they still pay the 39 billion euros? No in their in the UK pockets because then you don't to pay the 39 out. Wow we've certainly been led to believe that this is not just possible. Well it doesn't sound that way to me listening these guys well... You're the only one I wish you'd brought up brought a clip

14:31 Well, I'm sorry. I was listening to it this morning before the show and I did all my cooks already Oh okay so this is going on as we speak these guys there it is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 cars zephyr just to show you I'm so happy OH MY GOD! WOOO! LISTEN TO THAT HORN!!! well since were talking about Getting in and out of countries, uh...and the paperwork you might need for that. Things are changing rapidly in Gitmo Nation proper here in the United States

15:10 Something that I already identified over in Europe on my last trip and it seems that the airlines are all on board and starting to crank it up here. Smile, your face is now your ticket on some of Delta's international flights out of Atlanta! That means from baggage check-in through security and onto a Delta flight many passengers will never take out an ID or look for a boarding pass This is going to be an entirely biometric concourse where customers through facial recognition will not need paper anymore. How does it work? If you're flying internationally, you need a passport which means your photo is in the U.S. Customs database but instead of showing your passport when you check bags or go through security as flyers have done for years Delta's biometric system will already know you're scheduled for a specific flight

16:01 So when you stand in front of the camera, facial recognition software will quickly verify your identity. Which means going through an airport should be easier and faster for travelers who will no longer have to spend time looking for and showing their paperwork to ticket and security agents." Oh that takes so much time! Remember this is for your convenience and we have men and women on the street to ask who will confirm this? If you can save a little bit of time up front and get people into that queue faster, then hopefully this is making the airport screening process that much more efficient. People spend a little bit less time waiting it's a little bit less stressful Other airlines are also testing facial recognition systems for 40 past...

16:48 It's much less stressful because you don't have to think about all your paperwork and having your ID in one hand and ticket in the other. It's for you, don't you understand we're making your life easier? Be quiet! And the private firm Clear uses biometrics to identify travelers at many airports so it may not be long before showing your id and boarding pass will be a thing of the past I like being quicker. There's always the invasion of privacy sort of thing that you think about but... Oh yeah, dude like I'm so sorry! Safe and quick? What?! How is showing your ID and showing a ticket in invasion of privacy as opposed to your face? That's what he's saying He finds this kind of nothing. Yeah, no you misunderstood there Be a thing of the past

17:41 I like being quicker. There's always the invasion of privacy sort of thing that you think about, but safe and quick. We love it! Sign us up. We'll be first in line. Adding biometric screening for domestic flights may take a little bit longer since travelers are not required to show passport in order to buy a domestic ticket. Actually you're not required to even show identification by law, you have actual freedom of movement in the United States but we're just gonna make it sound easier for you so you just use your face no documentation needed So there's no immediate database but make no mistake they will get to work on that and biometric screening Becky is rapidly coming into how we will be boarding flights in the future Oh! It's great

18:25 It's just great. You made a point that needs to be re-emphasized, we do have freedom of movement in the United States there is only one or two people who push the envelope on this you do not need any ID to get on an airplane No! You don't...you'll probably miss your flight because they will hassle you but you don't need it legally This is all a scam, we've been scammed This is the same thing going on in EU they are scamming the public But you know what happening? Almost overnight it's happening so quickly face recognition is being introduced everywhere. Hertz now does it at for you know, for renting a car It's just gonna be everywhere. It's gonna be our lives will be filled with facial recognition

19:09 It's worse than a fingerprint because it's worse than a fingerprint, but it's like our fingerprint insofar as and people resisted the fingerprint thing Yeah. Well this is because we're all used to cameras and we're finally were docile now, you know, it's like Facebook has on my information they've got my pictures anyway But yeah, this is a very... like if you fingerprint. You can't see the guy's fingerprint as he walking down the street or in the mall or any place and you know that this is now taking place Well, the other thing I believe that going on with this sort of thing is fine-tuning the systems

19:47 So it's so you're sure the accuracy just increases because you did the sample size gets bigger and bigger and bigger Oh, yeah, cuz they keep using it already. I'm very impressed by facial recognition It really is I mean that especially if you have the right camera for at the technologies is actually pretty good Things you can try mm-hmm Pat apparently You can take a picture of an eyeball And you put it between the two eyeballs so you can put two eyeballs. You have a third eyeball? Is that what... A third eyeball would work, but yeah, hey I have a third eye and this is my religion! You could put a copy of eyeballs above your brow. No stop just stop This is the official no agenda TSA evasion kit Kit It consists of a third eyeball sticker

20:37 that you put right on your head. This is another, yet another exit strategy! I believe there's also some uses of glassware that would work And makeup might or might not work, but I think the real killer here because it's done through points they have to identify is the big Taliban beard. I don't think that makes a difference. I think it sees right through, I don't think the beard does anything for facial recognition. Well we have to look into it but I believe a Taliban beard... So the kit includes a sticker um uh third eye sticker, a Taliban beard and and the googly eyeglasses yeah if we can get this made in China for 20 cents and sell it for twenty bucks. We're gonna be rich! Another exit strategy.

21:38 I do have a TSA clip apparently they're finding too many guns and luggage. They didn't mention it's something like, like a couple hundred percent the amount of guns that people are trying to travel with let's play this clip new today TSA screeners have spotted a record number of guns at airport checkpoints this year. Chris Van Cleve has the results of an eight month investigation A loaded gun inside a carry-on at Dallas Fort Worth Airport. It's a scene playing out nearly 12... Hold on a second, did I just hear someone rack that gun four times or even maybe pull the trigger dry?

22:14 Because if that were a propter there while the voiceover says a loaded gun I wish I'd seen the video for this on inside a carry-on at Dallas Fort Worth Airport Playing out. No, it's got to start that over. I want to hear that again racking the gun loaded gun Ladies and gentlemen you today TSA screeners have spotted a record number of guns at airport checkpoints this year Chris Van Cleve has the results of an eight month investigation A loaded gun inside a carry-on at Dallas Fort Worth Airport. It's a scene playing out nearly 12 times a day at TSA checkpoints this year, more than 4,000 times so far. Almost always the flyer says it was a mistake.

22:58 Video from security cameras and police body cams at DFW Airport show some of the 211 incidents where a gun was found in a bag at a TSA checkpoint in 2017. You bought like over online? Yes, sir. Okay well that guns coming back stolen out of Florida Just 10 airports accounted for nearly a third of all incidents last year. Police records from seven of them revealed at least three cases where it appears the gun was missed by TSA screeners at one airport and only discovered on the person's trip home. Excuse me, sir? TSA had no trouble spotting what was in this 59-year old backpack—a loaded pistol and several additional magazines of ammunition

23:37 In the vast majority of cases, it's men. 63% were white. Most ranged in age from their 30s to their 50s But guns were found in the carry-ons of an 84 year old woman a 10 year old boy An airport worker and a pastor from Texas who told police he forgot the gun was in his backpack In addition to potential criminal penalties, the TSA will seek a fine up to $13,000. In practice though we found on average that fines around $1100. All of the people you saw in our story told police they didn't realize the gun was in that bag." Yeah and I think that's very plausible Yeah, certainly if you're traveling from like Texas. Well most of the airports were in Texas it looked like well Of course and we're the a-holes here Oh a whole men with loaded way. Oh why loaded weapons? Weapons well everything is weaponized I'll just take it back to technology for one quickie clip this one blew me away that this is happening In in the mall's in California. I don't know which mall what's KCAL is that up your near UK Cal 9

24:42 I never heard of it. The K-Cal is the TV station, I mean? No. K-Cal?! I never heard of K-Cal! Oh then it must be Los Angeles... It's gotta be. Probably So they have these you've seen the stupid ass mall robots that uh there's been a couple stories You know, it's a typical wired story or you know then maybe Bloomberg will chip in. Yeah, I saw a robot delivery robot and Berkeley roaming around On the street? Yes. No! Yeah, I'm driving back with Jay's in a spot and dropping her off or something. And look there is a delivery robot and it is right on College Avenue this thing bouncing around going down the street by itself What did it look like? Did it look like Lost In Space Robot? It looks a little bit like a lost in space thing. It's very small but its large

25:31 Like a large box with four wheels on it and a bunch of antennas, you know light blinking light And it just rolls the wheels are probably about I don't know four inches in circumference or 4 inches in diameter Space Force Well so yeah, you know and this is also a large dog oh Well, I need to know more about the delivery robot. The robot in the mall looks a bit like... what is the thing from Doctor Who? I don't watch Doctor Who. No, I don't either but I know the robot thing, Tylek something. Yeah yeah well that shows you how we're out of touch with Doctor Who. Daleks! It's Doctor Who as a woman now this thing has never stopped

26:20 I was gonna yeah, and she'll probably win the Miss Universe. All right so on to the so that it looks like a dot like and it runs around the mall And it looks completely You know just like it couldn't harm you at all its spinning It's got lights as a dough it's the whole thing is a joke but It's not. This is what it's doing. In fact, as far as robots go this one is state of the art equipped with very high-tech cameras that are designed to pick up almost anything and everything as it roams the mall. It's picking up video footage, it's picking up Mac addresses so its able to pick a lot information that humans just aren't capable of. MAC addresses? This is what Google got excoriated for doing!

27:06 So it's snooping on you, it's picking up your Mac addresses and from that's the unique... Yeah phones and whatever else you got. Network adapter in your phone each one has a unique MAC address You can spoof it It's like an IP address but its much longer number and is unique to your device Its spoofable Well sure its spoofable but thats not the point everyones being spied on! Yeah I know its disgusting And KCAL is indeed in Los Angeles. Oh, they deserve it... Los Angeles. I just- Since when has this just brought us- oh that's fine! That's okay!

27:44 Because it's a cute little robot roaming around bouncing around She knows about these robots I guess she seen a few of them in Berkeley as well somebody just go over and kick the thing because it'll fall right over Right, that's what you'd think It's just there's people watching these things and they go back and they put him back upright again enough. They go So what good is the robot? You have to have a robot handler Yeah doesn't matter The fact that they're doing this just says a lot And by the way, today is it? Today I think it's right around this time. Maybe maybe it was on Thursday was exactly one year since the FCC voted out net neutrality have we done

28:31 Is your Netflix slow? All hell's broken loose. Is your Netflix slow, did you get a call yet? I got gigabit now Do you have to call your ISP? Netflix is working better than ever To get a package deal so i can actually listen to the no agenda show has that happened yet everybody has it happened No! No but its going too It will in California and you guys got net neutrality I cant wait to see how that actually packs out or unpacks. There's all kinds of stuff in California, you know we didn't get to talk about this on the last show but I do want to um get your feedback from this proposal which sounds like an onion story but just peeling back the letter layers gets worse as you learn more about it. California Public Utilities Commission set to vote next month on a proposal to tax your text messages. State regulators say the money would be used to support programs that provide phone service to the poor its under

29:25 unclear how much, though that you have to pay per message. The wireless industry and business groups are fighting the plan they say that it could cost phone users an extra $44 million a year. They also say the proposal is unfair because services like Facebook's messenger and Apple's I message wouldn't be hit with this new fee. Everybody in Cleveland low minority got Obama phone keep Obama in president! You know? He gave us a phone That's where it all started It's a crazy idea Well, it's a flat fee and when they went out to man on the street I wish I had some of these clips because I saw many of them. It's all these dingbats oh you know if it helps poor people... Let me just understand what are they going to... Because cell phone bill if you look at this, at least in United States there is all kinds of surcharges

30:17 Five bucks on top of everything else be that you see on your cell phone bill. Yeah, that is an additional fee It'll be called something You know it'll be like me something like four to five dollars But if it's not but he'll say Jack about it because they're used to paying hundreds of dollars or the stupid phone every month But is it based on your text message usage? Or just a one okay so that so they're kind of and they're presenting into little skewed then I Yeah, because I haven't heard they're going to text you retroactively for all the text messages You sent and things who you and I are probably the only people left in America using SMS text messaging Do is that what we're using? I don't even know what it is when you Yes, when you text me about the newsletter That's pure SMS. Text messaging Okay And everyone else is using I message

31:13 You know, circumventing the whole system. Locking themselves in I might say... Man this iMessage it's hard to get off of it once you got all your friends with iMessage and then you go away then all sudden you get kicked out of the group You can't do group messages with anybody. Of course it is, open standards! Open standards...open source. But it's not open I don't know if its open source It's a standard. Open source! Okay Alright so I picked up talking about the dingbats out there which I think is somewhat thematic

31:50 I picked up this, there's a show that i never heard of and then I started watching it. It's done by the Ferelli brothers or at least Peter which is a couple of movie guys who get into TV once in a while. So they did this show specifically, this is the worst show in terms of distribution you'll ever... If you can even find a copy at the bootleg a copy it's only on AT&T U-verse and it said AT&T produced show for AT&T. It sounds like a winner! Yeah, well actually the show's quite funny. It's called Louder Milk and it got into its third season but I do have a scene from it to show you what kind of typical Forelli Brothers gag there is This is Louder Milk's vocal fry gag

32:44 And do you need to set this up? What am I gonna see here? It's a guy. Yeah, the guy the lead character is waiting in line at a coffee shop and then he runs into some girl with his vocal fry thing and he just goes off on her. What can i get you? I'd like a large coffee. Okay so hot coffee? Hot coffee. Okay room for cream Totally leave room for creating. Why are you talking like that? Why are you talking like because this is my voice This is my voice No, it's not I heard you're talking a minute ago and they don't talk like Neither do you because nobody actually talks like this. You choose to talk like this and today I chose to talk like this pretty fucking annoying isn't it? Why are so rude man just stop doing that can't help us my voice No, it's not It's an affectation than annoying teenagers enriched people used to sound like they don't give a shit Except your work in a coffee shop So no you're not rich And you don't look like a teenager unless your units Kennedy Shriver or

33:40 Just because I talk like this means they don't give a shit and what exactly am i supposed to not give a shit about? That's an excellent question to ask yourself in your actual voice. Excuse me, some of us would like to order. Fuck everybody You're total dick man! There there you go good you're talking Wow Oh, go brah. So these are issues that need to be addressed more and the we do need to remind everyone the original vocal fry Queen is The Berkley Hummer exactly exactly in fact I'm gonna see if I must have a clip here We go Abramson yeah, it was funny says people

34:36 Rich people who don't give a shit. They don't give a shit is actually I never thought about but that is Jill Abramson's kind of attitude about stuff here She is the original Berkeley Hummer clip from years ago chief among many other things she joined The Times from The Wall Street Journal and this clip was from 2011 1997 Jill Abramson congratulations and welcome Thank you so much, Jim. First just on the personal level what does it mean to you? To become the executive editor of The New York Times It means the world to me I grew up here in Manhattan and

33:40 Just because I talk like this means they don't give a shit and what exactly am i supposed to not give a shit about? That's an excellent question to ask yourself in your actual voice. Excuse me, some of us would like to order. Fuck everybody You're total dick man! There there you go good you're talking Wow Oh, go brah. So these are issues that need to be addressed more and the we do need to remind everyone the original vocal fry Queen is The Berkley Hummer exactly exactly in fact I'm gonna see if I must have a clip here We go Abramson yeah, it was funny says people

34:36 Rich people who don't give a shit. They don't give a shit is actually I never thought about but that is Jill Abramson's kind of attitude about stuff here She is the original Berkeley Hummer clip from years ago chief among many other things she joined The Times from The Wall Street Journal and this clip was from 2011 1997 Jill Abramson congratulations and welcome Thank you so much, Jim. First just on the personal level what does it mean to you? To become the executive editor of The New York Times It means the world to me I grew up here in Manhattan and

35:20 The New York Times was worshipped in my family and what the times said was true, was the truth. You know she's gotten much worse in recent years this is not even... I think you're right, she has gotten worse. I wonder if we have a Jill Abramson? We must have a more recent one Let me see, Jill Abramson on Clarence Thomas. Well, perjury is an impeachable offense. There's no statute of limitations and so I think that the evidence... Yeah all i recall as we went through this cycle and it is now seven eight years ago at a certain point it was misogynist to even talk about it

36:14 Yeah, it's not. It's not appropriate apparently obviously I read the New York Times like all day long That is the money shot obviously I Read the New York Times like all day long mainly on my iPad app All day long. And she got kicked out of there, she got kicked out of everywhere Where's she working now? Is she working at the Correspondent yet? That's where I expect her to show up next. I have no idea. No i don't think so... That fine Dutch experiment Yes Oh that Dutch thing Yeah! I like those guys. I supported the Dutch version years ago when they first started and they did it apparently They raised two and a half million dollars Good for them But yeah but the thing is Jay Rosen thats your spokes hole uh-uh

37:10 Yeah, that's a big mistake. Sorry Jay but no. Let's see I have a...I do want to talk about the Green New Deal as there was a lot going on. I see you have a clip but if you don't mind just grab the COP24. This is my clip. Climate meeting summary? Yeah, but I got some specific background. Does it have a presentation to make? Well, let's do the climate summary then because this is a different PBS and it is very short. It's only 28 seconds. They wrap up the whole thing as though it was like not a big deal. Negotiators reached an agreement at the United Nations Climate Talks in Poland today after more than two weeks of meetings. The talks were scheduled to end Friday

37:47 One sticking point was the rule for monitoring, purchasing and selling carbon credits to reduce carbon emissions. Brazil raised concerns over the cost of buying permits from a central registry and the process of selling those permits A rule book for the 200 nations in the Paris Accord was released for approval And the countries will meet again next fall in New York Right so this is... Hey if carbon's bad it's bad how can you sell credits that go back-and-forth and burn it anyway? Or release it Yeah, okay. I'm not gonna answer questions that have no answers to but i can only report on what's going on and I realized... It came from an email from Corey Millennial says Adam John born in 1988 in Wisconsin until listening to your show I knew! I knew global warming was a fact everyone I talked with accepted it as truth

38:42 Your podcast was the only voice that even brought it up as a question. After doing my own research, I agree with your point of view. Thank you from Corey PS no Adderall and at listen at 1.5 speed okay geez yeah well they're the kids like that Here's what I realized when the official climate gate started and my goodness We have we have jingles going back that are older than some of the people that listen to this show here it is This was the start of The falsification of documents there was all this fuzzy stuff That the people who were in charge of the IPCC had deals on the outside. It was a complete mess

39:27 And we witnessed all of this. Most kids today, you know they were too young to have ever witnessed anything that's going on When you think about it We have been through so... You and I just because of age Have been through so many of these horrible horrible things that are going to happen to us Umm..and they've turned out to be not so true Yes, and what a secret agent Paul sent me an end of show clip which is a song But I just wanted to play it now. It's not super long I want to play it now because he He kind of goes through all of these things A number of them And as I was listening to what I came up with more that were hype that was supposed to be horrible We're all going to die if we don't do something immediately and then of course didn't happen Then he put this to a very traditional track

40:18 Can anyone here remember the hole in the ozone layer? Can you tell me where it's gone I can't recall why But i know we were all gonna die We must have done something wrong Does anyone know What happened to the gasoline shortage? When the pumps would all run dry The last drop would be gone by 1991 But now there's an apple supply Does anyone hear

41:14 Remember the Y2K bug? Everything was gonna crash. Every screen would be blackened, and nothing happened. But someone made a lot of cash! It was gonna be the next Ice Age, but somehow we turned that page. We were all gonna freeze now it's up by 12 degrees!

41:50 All right, so there's just a few examples of these enormously dangerous things to our society we're all going to die from. I just wanted to mention the Y2K bug. I had cash in the freezer, I had a bathtub full of water and well... Well I cashed in on that one myself because I had a special speech prepared that was about what a phony baloney deal it was because it never made any sense And I should probably revisit that speech because it was funny. It showed that Y2K is going to cause tornadoes, oceans are gonna rise because of Y2K... So its important for the younger generation to understand

42:35 that this is not new, except now your parents are all in on it and they're stupid morons. They're not really thinking about how they're traumatizing you, how your teachers, your community everyone around you is traumatizing you by saying we're all going to die from climate change and oh yeah we can't really do anything about it or we're not or well should do something quick and all the messaging that these kids are receiving is making them extremely ill I agree. And so again, our stance on this is not just... we're not just like some assholes who don't believe in science and grew up you know like oh yeah this is crap man! No we've been through it was global cooling we were all going to die same people

43:18 by the way who now say global warming. Then we had the population bomb, the population explosion where too many people were all gonna die. Everyone's gonna be dead by the year 2000 and by the time you're as old as we are and I hope you reach that fine old age like a fine wine... You will to! We'll go this is a lot of crap that we got all worked up about and the CBC The Current yeah this is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation did a special And on this special about climate change, they had a guest. The guest is Margaret Klein Solomon and she of course is involved in climate change but she's not a climatologist no she's a clinical psychologist of the Climate Mobilization Organization so they're now doing half-hour specials with psychologists

44:16 About so forget about anything that's true or not in science how fast it's gonna happen Just listen to the setup and then we'll get into a couple of clips. My name is Debra Harford I'm the executive director of the adaptation to climate change team at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver A low-carbon resilient future Is a beautiful one, a lot less noisy polluting cars filling up most of our urban downtown areas. More parks, more areas for kids to play, more places for people to grow food, more shared spaces, more places where people can come together and enjoy their environment

44:57 I heard a very interesting presentation from a woman who works with small children recently and so she asks them to draw. She says, if we carry on how we're living in the world what do you think the future looks like? And she said that without fail they draw a world... ...in which everything's on fire and everything is dead and everyone is sick Oh God! So she's already, she can't... She's emotional just from hearing the damage that is already done and I believe this to be true. The damage of the kids? Yes the children are thinking everything will be on fire and everybody's dead Now so this uh.. And this is a great piece one of our producers sent it to me like highlight is that you will not believe what's going on here and he's right

45:53 So I chopped this up a couple more and they're all about a minute each clip just four more clips This is now we get to Margaret Klein Solomon and she has of course solutions. It's all not just dire as long as we do it within the next 12 years otherwise, you know The kids will still be drawing those pictures of fire and everyone will be dead We are calling for a 10-year crash transition to zero emissions plus drawdown and attempt to achieve full spectrum sustainability across issues Remember, she's a psychologist. Okay? She's not the climatologist Not a weather scientist. She's a psychologist but she knows what to call for Idea being this is not a problem We are too late in the game for gradualism right to incrementally reduce emissions or

46:45 or for individualism, right? The idea that I'll take care of my emissions. You take care of your emissions and so forth what we envision is a rapid transition of our entire economy and society with all hands on deck, as most recently happened in our history during World War Two. So for example some of the policies that would come from a World War Two scale climate mobilization would be the immediate ban of all new fossil fuel infrastructure and a 10 year timeline for retiring the fossil fuel infrastructure that we do have coupled because we want to keep the lights on

47:24 with a massive scale-up of renewable energy. So large government investment creating millions of jobs to both reduce demand through things like winterizing homes... We're all going to burn, but the kids can winterize your home! No worries! To both reduce demand through things like winterizing homes and and just transform our energy system to renewable. We also have policies in agriculture, transportation and industry that we promote but that's the basic scope.

48:04 However, I you know this is not delusional. It's subversive Yes The system is a we are at the entire system of Western civilization at this moment is petroleum based This is a subversive movement to bring down the Western cultures and to replace it with this is the same as the anti-capitalist people. Oh, capitalism is bad! We need to replace it with what? Where are these jobs? What jobs they talking about? It's not a winterizing jobs nobody needs... People do that themselves if they want to think but some gunite you know in the house. The whole thing is so transparently subversive its beyond my

48:45 Comprehension is how it's allowed to continue like this. Well, it continues for at least two more clips. I have three by the way Yeah and... I hope they're toppers This says so now she's comparing it to World War II we need to and we needed to crash transition what she means by that and the whole piece is filled with you know did your parents buy war bonds yet? You know because everyone was all in on, you know We've got a support the war everybody. And she thinks that we can do exactly the same Well great example is The Victory Gardens So during World War II, 40% of American vegetables were grown at home in the front and backyard by the people that ate them. Can you recall this?

49:29 I know about the Victory Gardens, but I don't believe that statistic to be accurate. You can eat it for maybe a month but you gotta have a pretty big garden Well you'd have do a lot of canning, canning was popular Yes it was very popular yes You could do a lot of canning But you know this is... This isn't... The farms out there in the middle of the Midwest and elsewhere that normally grow vegetables stop growing vegetables! What they want is they want us to eat that laboratory meat bugs, right? We can farm our lawns and have community farms where you know local food security and also you know you don't have emissions from transportation but more generally programs like

50:19 transitioning industry, right? So the United States banned the production of new consumer automobiles. They said we need all of that automobile factory capacity to create our tanks and planes and machine guns so no more consumer car production period sorry it's a fundamentally different mentality When you get into the mode of we face an existential threat, everything is on the line and so the government is going to do everything that it can. The government should spend without limit to save as much life as possible." Again she's not an economist! She's not a science climatologist! She's a psychologist! And I'm not sure these are great ideas that she has

51:16 But it turns out in the psychology field she does have a little bit to say about this idea of just in just Just an crash transition to immediately stopping using fossil fuels stop driving everything electric Because back in the day and World War two would actually people kind of liked it The people who lived through world war 2 on the home front often looked back at it as some of the best years of their lives. Because they felt productively and meaningfully employed in a cause that was greater than them, and they felt connected to their neighbors into their community into their country and to their cause. And the hopefulness

51:59 Yes, we need that but it has to be based on reality and on telling the truth. And there is no hope for a smooth transition to zero emissions over decades that kind of doesn't bother anyone. Maybe we could have done that if we had started it in the 70s, but we didn't and emissions have gone up every year and we need a crash transition to protect ourselves. And even if we do it Even if we execute the most austere and intense transition to zero emissions, we still might not win. You don't know if you're going to win a war before you go into it. It's possible that the positive feedback loops that we've already triggered will overwhelm even our absolute best efforts to get to zero emissions but we're not even trying now."

52:57 See, this is the message that's being sent to kids by psychologists who should know better. But it doesn't matter because the best thing you can do is record those kids get their thoughts on climate change get their thoughts on the imminent death they face because their parents and adults and Orange Man Bad won't do anything about in Washington DC let's traumatize them a little more and ask how they feel With some cool piano music just to accentuate the vibe. Like animals can lose their homes like polar bears if the ice and melts My name is Arthur. I am eight year nine years old We Bit scary because I live near the ocean

51:59 Yes, we need that but it has to be based on reality and on telling the truth. And there is no hope for a smooth transition to zero emissions over decades that kind of doesn't bother anyone. Maybe we could have done that if we had started it in the 70s, but we didn't and emissions have gone up every year and we need a crash transition to protect ourselves. And even if we do it Even if we execute the most austere and intense transition to zero emissions, we still might not win. You don't know if you're going to win a war before you go into it. It's possible that the positive feedback loops that we've already triggered will overwhelm even our absolute best efforts to get to zero emissions but we're not even trying now."

52:57 See, this is the message that's being sent to kids by psychologists who should know better. But it doesn't matter because the best thing you can do is record those kids get their thoughts on climate change get their thoughts on the imminent death they face because their parents and adults and Orange Man Bad won't do anything about in Washington DC let's traumatize them a little more and ask how they feel With some cool piano music just to accentuate the vibe. Like animals can lose their homes like polar bears if the ice and melts My name is Arthur. I am eight year nine years old We Bit scary because I live near the ocean

54:03 And if there's a glacier, that also will make the water go close to my house. My name is Ben Bizayon I am 15 and i live in Montreal Quebec. I think that it's time for the governments to do big things but just because... Just because the government are doing big things doesn't mean people should stop doing small things That everyone should just you know without necessarily sacrificing everything yet. Just do what they can to reduce the footprint and help us not be doomed My name is Miawtis Stout, I'm 12 years old and I live in Winnipeg The thing that scares me the most about climate change is literally everything It's terrifying it's kind of been pushed to the side And just not knowing anything about it Is kinda what scares me about it

54:59 It's gonna kill us if we don't do anything, which we're not doing anything. That's the scary part to me My name is Patrick I'm 10 years old and I was born in China But now I live in Vancouver spy young children will experience far worse than the people living right now It also scares me that floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters are way more likely than in the past five years. I think grown-ups should think that we actually should make an impact and not just sit back and let it happen That's right kids your parents aren't doing anything because the orange man isn't doing anything And you are all going to die!

55:51 Child abuse and add to that your school can be shot up at any minute throw in a couple of antidepressants you got a great party going on it's gonna be fantastic watch these kids do fantastically well in society yeah well this Interesting little thing I was noticing there was somebody discussing the homelessness and... Oh yeah, it's racism. It all stems from climate change you know this don't you? Anyway the COP 24 they finally came to an agreement There is a new president of this thing by the way it some douchebag he's let me see what his name is He replaced the old douche bag Yeah but yeah he's a young douche bag Mika Kurtya

56:47 He is the Secretary of State, Government Plenum Potentiary for COP24 Presidency. A trained physicist engineer economist specialist in international negotiations expert in the field of energy and author of the government program for the development of electromobility in Poland And it's almost like he is one of these dot com kind of guys. Because they have the big dais and there are a thousand people in the auditorium, and they went really late Saturday night... ...and got up early this morning and finally came to agreement that he jumps over the dais! Ta-daa! You've gotta see this video. Like he is Spiderman! Yes we have a deal! Kind of. It is so decided

57:35 The conference president did his best to whip up enthusiasm from delegates. There's been a lukewarm reception from observers to the COP24 climate change deal agreed on Saturday by some 200 nations in Katowice, Poland. Mikał Kartyka acknowledged more needs to be done This deal hangs in fragile balance We will all have to give in order to gain We will all have to be courageous to look into the future and make yet another step for the sake of humanity. A 156-page rulebook fleshes out details on how to implement the 2015 Paris Agreement. I'm very, very happy with German Environment Minister Svenja Schulze. This is the second time that the world says yes to the Paris Climate Agreement

58:33 In Paris we said what our goals were and here we agreed on the rules for getting there. And with the whole world, that's an enormous achievement." The target is to limit global warming well below 2 degrees centigrade. The rulebook covers issues such as how countries should establish and monitor emission reduction plans but it's less clear on how a pledge of 90 billion euros to poorer countries will be financed. So they're right back... Damnit Francois! The crazy American man, orange man bad. He pulled out of the agreement where do we get a 90 billion from now? NPR did it actually I have to say did it very well

59:16 Although the millennial is fantastic. The minute it gets into science, she starts saying right a lot But she did explain the issues and it's not just who's gonna pay for it It turns out they don't even know how to measure this stuff Well this meeting is all about putting the Paris agreement that was the agreement back in 2015 into action So every country made a promise back then to reduce greenhouse gases a certain amount but every promise is different So it's really hard to come up with a set of rules that everyone, we're talking about almost 200 countries thinks is fair for tracking our collective progress. What seems to be the principal sticking points right now? Well there are couple things on a really basic level this really is basic countries still haven't agreed on how they are going to track their carbon emissions and how much information they're gonna disclose each other about their economies which is part of that Just right there

1:00:09 They haven't even agreed on how to track it. Don't you stick a tube in the air and it's like, oh 350 parts per million we're all gonna die! Isn't that how it's done? I mean this if anything we've been taught and convinced by total repetition that they can measure exactly what's happening. I don't think that's what they're talking about about the ambient air CO2 constituency in terms of how much there is. Then what are they talking about? How much is being pumped into the system from factories... Well, they say they can't agree on how to measure it. They say they haven't agreed on how to measure it that's that's what they're saying yeah I think they don't know how to measure

1:00:57 They know how much is in the air, but they don't know how to measure what's going into the air. I think that's what they're referring to when you talk about it because you're right. You can measure it and just get a little device or turn it on and stick it outside. You can measure the CO2 in the air. It's not that hard. No. They're talking about something else. Okay. I haven't agreed on how they are going to track their carbon emissions and how much information they're going to disclose to each other about their economies, which is part of that. And some countries are more private than others about their economy so for example China. China is notoriously private The US actually is too we don't really love to give extra information to other countries in the world about how we operate

1:01:36 So on the flip side, poorer countries are worried. They don't know how they're going to pay for the kind of in-depth analysis that it takes to track emissions. They want richer countries help them with that and also help them with paying for all sorts of things that come along with climate change whether it be loss and damage or other stuff. In the past, that divide between more developed countries and less developed countries on the planet has been pronounced to the point where there were different rules depending on if a country was richer or poor. Is that still the case? Well, no. That did change with the Paris Agreement and that's a good thing so every country regardless of how much the country has in its GDP every country had to make a promise that it thought it could achieve to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions but there is still a lot of tension between richer countries and poorer countries So for example, countries in Southeast Asia, in the Pacific, parts of Africa they are suffering enormous losses already because of climate change

1:02:36 Right, so catastrophic flooding. We see some of these things in the US too This is where she goes off the rails because now she's gonna have to defend the science right and that's all she can do is She makes a statement it says right because you know It's right right? That's what subliminally going on her head cuz she just got to be right right in the Pacific and parts of Africa there are suffering enormous losses already because of climate change Right, so catastrophic flooding. We see some of these things in the US too but it's much more pronounced in other parts of the world Islands disappearing altogether. Just go on what is this? It's just gone I don't know islands are disappearing right you have to write right right pronounced and other parts of the world Islands disappearing all together This is NPR one reminds me right drought famine

1:03:24 But those countries actually aren't the countries that have emitted the most greenhouse gases, right? Like think historically. The industrial revolution started spouting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in the 1800s So we and that being the US, the EU Major industrialized nations who have been industrialized for a long time are responsible for most emissions And yet other countries are right now paying some of the price and so the question is what kind of I'll use the term reparations, but we're talking about payments for that loss and damage. Think you can kill this anytime. She's just rambling I put left it in here for a reason image in the past those have been on the table but As of right now and we're going into overtime here There is nothing specific so far coming out at this meeting So one of the big questions In the next who knows? It could be couple hours. It could be a whole another day Is what type of payment might we be able to get if

1:04:23 Coming from richer countries and going to poor countries for that sort of thing So the whole point for our younger listeners From take it from two old guys who've been around the block on a couple of these this is not right And when you hear all these douchebags sitting around in Poland, and all they can talk about is who's gonna pay Who? Who's gonna gouge the Americans Damnit. They left That's what's going on here. This is not about your environment, this is a money grab and it's no different than the... How many billions was the Y2K scare? Outrageous! It broke the country's story didn't help The dot-com collapse from the late 90s and when their right to case care came along its sunk the economy that's how bad it was Exactly

1:05:09 Exactly. The economy went into a tailspin in large part because of Y2K but also in combination with the dot-com collapse and then it was exacerbated by the 9 11 thing and then we were in now we went going to a decade of no growth Yeah, and that's what would happen with this. This would sink the world economy and it would just be taking money from us and giving it to some people who are gonna... They don't even use it! They give it to their leaders these corrupt leaders and then they become rich guys living in Gestatt Switzerland

1:05:46 You know as I was reading through all these documents and I'm trying to get a copy of the rule book so we can understand what rules will have to be implemented. I said, Tina it's so odd with the Netherlands which is about 25% below sea level which is reclaimed land. I don't hear the Netherlands freaking out too much about, oh! The islands are disappearing how can we survive? Amsterdam will be under water you'd never hear them talk about that and so i did one Bing search And the first thing that popped up is that the UN climate panel had to admit they had exaggerated the Dutch sea level. They said in one of their early reports, 2007 I think, they said 50% of The Netherlands is below sea level! It could be 55%, they're all gonna drown and the Dutch went hey stop that we know how to manage our water but this is never a conversation in the Dutch

1:06:45 In the Dutch media when it comes to climate change. Oh, yeah We're all gonna have the conversation they never talk about the sea level which should just drown everybody So these are all the little things you got to pay attention Well a thing that's rude I think what you missed was the more interesting part of this where they've decided? I think all the points you made are valid and I think it's led to with the next step in Which is next step because they can't get enough traction. Yeah, we got every kid just so you know They say that they're in the phase they're in now and reading the documents there now in the Political phase they say for some reason now now the politicians have to take yes That's what their call it This is cop 24 moving into COP 25 I think that's the political phase I think that's next year in New York by the way could be

1:07:36 So yes, your point. Well the thing coming up now is the Extinction Rebellion which just started in the UK and it's catching on and they had a bunch of these people at the COP 20 whatever it was with of course Amy is pushing this on Democracy Now! Let's listen to what this is all about This is Extinction Rebellion 1 We turn now to look at a UK based movement taking extreme action the climate crisis. It's called Extinction Rebellion, its members have been super gluing themselves to government buildings shutting down roads taking to the streets to sound the alarm about the impending catastrophe of global warming. Extinction rebellion marched here in Katowice last Saturday to protest UN climate talks in November extinction rebellion protesters shut

1:08:27 down London bridges, blockaded the UK Department for Business and Energy and attempted to interrupt Brexit negotiations. Well there you go when you traumatize kids enough this is what they start super gluing themselves two buildings that's what happens. I just thought the super gluing thing was a great idea. There was one clip where there were a bunch of people like you had with one after another complaining But I decided just to iso this one guy who was super glued to a fence. and he is screaming his objections in what it's all about. And this guy I'm guessing is around, he's in his early 20s, he's bearded...I guess to prevent facial recognition. He's bearded and he's screaming out what the problems are and why these cops and the nations and everybody's not paying attention because we're all going to die! This is the worst case scenario where we're all gonna die. Play this ISO.

1:09:26 complacent in the mass murder of all life on this planet and I will not be silent! Wow. All life? All life, uh-huh. All life on this planet according to everybody in this group is under attack we're gonna there's not going to be a living thing well there's all a lot of stories didn't even hear What you talking about that with Horowitz about less bugs and he was like I was driving across the country and now I remember tons of bugs. Less bugs! And then my... Well there's a couple, i want to talk about it just but I got one last tip but I wanted to mention the less bug. I always have thoughts about the less bugs. A couple of things about less bugs uh in California when I was a kid

1:10:10 We used to drive, no matter where you drive especially if you went from California or from San Francisco Los Angeles and back and forth. You'd get a lot of bugs hit the car at the time he got the LA or back the car would be covered with bugs that you ran into sure I was thinking about this because There are less bugs that you hit the car, but like when I drive my Lexus for example, the SC400 and most cars. And I would ask people to do this experiment just stay by the side of the road and listen to cars as they go by a number of cars that will go by unless they got noisy engines but let's say that they don't you hear nothing it is whoosh whoosh and then there's a couple cars that go by here you can hear

1:10:53 Wait a minute, wait a minute. You're gonna tell me because the bugs aren't hearing the cars anymore? I don't understand! The point is that the aerodynamics of today's cars lift the bugs up and over the car's windshield They're bug friendly Because it's cutting through, because all these cars are aerodynamic. If you've ever been in one of these electric cars there things are so aerodynamic they're super silent when they go by and that's the point I'm making about the silence is that in the olden days, in 1955 Plymouth had no aerodynamics it was just plowing through right against the atmosphere and the bugs would- Wait a minute, they had those fins on the back that must have helped for something. Yeah, the fins helped you go in a straight line and so the bugs would hit you more I think that's what i think that's all there is to this because I'm nervous when I drive around if I get going fast on the freeway I see bugs going right up and over the car

1:11:52 Don't know okay, so there's no bugpocalypse. I'm so disappointed is just the aerodynamics hmm We also use more bugs killer. I think that has a lot to do with you back to the extinction rebellion part two Remembering now they have one of the founders or one of their early guys These people are in but they have logos Well, they've got a beautiful website. Extinction Rebellion and it's a part of the Rising Up group and they've got donations going. Is Sunrise Movement part of this? I don't see them yet but it wouldn't surprise me! Well they mentioned it... Oh okay. But thing is these guys have decided to take it to the next level. Alright It's not that we're gonna have few islands disappear all life on earth will cease to exist A movement taking radical action

1:12:42 the climate crisis. It started in the United Kingdom just six months ago, is now spread to at least 35 countries. Extinction rebellions demanding governments commit to legally binding measures to slash consumption and reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2025. We're joined right now by extinction rebellion activist Lian Gary Bolling He just participated in the action here at the UN Climate Summit not far from the Democracy Now set. It's great to have you with us, Liam. You know even using words like global warming or climate change people feel does not convey the urgency of this issue

1:13:23 have decided to use the term extinction. Extinction Rebellion is your group, talk about what you're doing? So we've been talking people about the real science that we're seeing now not in an alarmist way but in a realistic way We are now facing what could be the next mass extinction. We're already grieving over the lives lost both human and otherwise to climate change And with seeing and talking to people about the fact that we might now be facing human extinction This is what happens. This is what you get oh brother yeah, you got me with that I need to give you and go back to my other cart wall for this I need to give you a clip of the day for that So kids if I can call you kids

1:14:13 My stance I think it's John stance as well that there is if there's nothing wrong with switching to some other forms of energy we recommend you look into nuclear energy and Please have a good. Look at Chernobyl look at Fukushima look with three-mile island Those are kind of the big popular ones and see if the damage that was done and the risk to human life versus the BP oil spill in the Gulf, the Exxon Valdez. Really do some research and see which one you'd be better with or which one is less dangerous? And then go look at the actual benefits of wind and solar. There's something to be said for hydroelectric but nuclear is a very good way to go! Hydroelectric is great but they

1:14:58 They condemn hydroelectric too, if you haven't noticed. It's damming up a natural river and the salmon can't get there... Because they don't want you to think about it! They don't want you to have nuclear. They want you to buy into what they call the new climate economy That's the idea You'll be making solar panels No, you'll probably be dusting off solar panels that will be your good climate job So this is- you're being hoodwinked Yeah, the good climate job. I think you nailed it! That would be the good climate job a solar panel cleaner. Yes and please politicians people in positions of media prowess stop abusing children for this

1:15:44 Stop that's not gonna happen. Yeah, but I can say it as much as I want stop abusing your children for this is disgusting They can't they're no wonder pharmaceuticals are off the hook No wonder no wonder everyone's on antidepressants look at what you're doing to him and I'm sorry I just don't see it so there You go climate denier number one hello climate in Ironman 2 in the morning to you The man who put the C in c-cop 24 John C Well, first of all I'm not a climate denier.

We'll do it if we think it's legal Oh, it's totally legal and I think it was very well done by taking the... Yeah, Banksy thing where they were in the yellow vests Yeah yellow vests but then also adding Crac Portafeu, Adem Lecuri and Zubaz Kiljonset Davorak It was funny! It was a beautiful piece everyone liked it and screw Banksy

Interesting Yeah, so the Marines are winning this battle between the larger service which is the Navy.

It's well known in the armed forces, the sub guys is all cheap

I have moved it out many times but they still seem to do it occasionally this happened with the most recent newsletter when I saw your second email I was looking and sure enough it was in promotions.

You've got karma Sir Jonathan of The Double-Bladed Paddle $300.11 Thanks for the show. NJNK73s, KE0IHT73s, Sir Jonathan of the Double-Bladed Paddle." Yes 73s, Keto5 Alpha Charlie Charlie. God this is a good one now and it's actually... It's not really good because Chris Wilson sent in I think he falls under the Australian rules right? Australian and Canadian rules?

1:26:05 You want to reiterate those? Yeah, if you're a this is because of the recent when we had this economic downturn in 2007 and 8. The Canadian money and the Australian money became worth more and it stayed that way for quite some time into the shows era And then it started to go a normal way, which has become worthless. I mean Canadians should be twice as expensive now. That's the normal way for them? Is that what you're insinuating? It's just the normal way. It just happens. Rarely are they at parity with the US dollar and so they've fallen behind and we gave the offer out look it's $1 to you yeah it's a little less for us but still $1 do you you should get least credit

1:26:52 A dollar if you donate an Australian dollar or Canadian dollars. So that's it's a dollar so if you donate 300 Canadian dollars, you get $300 in credit towards... It's really just we're just we just have pity on them I don't know if its pity is just like they got destroyed they got destroyed by the banksters and then they fell behind I felt bad about it yeah I have a place up near Canadian border and you go to Canada great shopping Right, well with your with your American money sure it is a fantastic show. So Chris sent in like a script Chris Wilson and Eastlake's New South Wales $231 91 cents was probably 300 Yeah, he says peace my executive producer. It's actually 333 333 3333 3333 comes to 231 yeah Well, that's the way it is

1:27:53 He says with the current exchange rate, you are more than entitled to call them shrimp. Percy could you please de-douche my beard? Interesting. He's long haired kind of hunky guy with a douche bag 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! I'm shocked shocked to find that Sir Chris has a douchebag beard. Douchebag beard! I reneged on that because i've seen his picture since and it's more of a Taliban beard. Yes So, it's not a douche bag beard that's different

1:28:41 It's not easy sporting the Sydney inner West safe space hippie look at my age. You tend to slide past the styling of Dave Grohl and rapidly descend into Ted Kaczynski homeless hermit territory In fact, this was brought to my attention the other day when I went out to some coffee You see, I have been doing renovations at home. Some plastering in fact. I figured that I'd get a decent coffee at one of those hole-in-the-wall coffee houses from a barrist...barista with a douchebag beard! So I wandered down, purchased and promptly consumed my first cup. It was really really good, sensational even and then I took a moment to myself standing there on the street with my empty cup staring at the cup quietly contemplating whether or not I should go for that glorious but occasionally treacherous second hit of caffeine when I was rudely woke from my meditation by some generous soul throwing a $2 coin into my empty cup."

1:29:39 Now I don't know if it was the wild hair or the douchebag beard, Or the fact that i was covered in plaster and building dirt. Along with me standing on the street holding an empty cup Someone suggested it may have been a shopping trolley of scrap metal We need a picture of this man, come on. But with the crazy real estate prices around the inner west you've got to take advantage of what you can to make those mortgage payments so if you would please de-douche my beard that would be appreciated. Yeah we just did that well I'll do an official deducing. You've been de-douched! There's your actual deduching

1:30:17 Thanks to everyone on this sosh nets social nets who say that I do the best jingles. I appreciate it But you are misled secret agent Paul does the best jingles?

Thank You All No Homo Hang On Maybe A Bit No Wait Is That The Cute Little Frog In My Pocket? There ya go Sir Chris the Drunkard Minstrel from Australia who has indeed done fantastic and he calls them jingles but jingles to me are little things like Like that or maybe a short thing.

The No Agenda Show has no equal and I hope you do not underestimate the importance of the work you too do! I encourage all No Agenda listeners to think about throwing a few bucks towards this show.

1:36:20 with her girlfriend, they live together and we're all walking down the sidewalk hand in hand. And then we cross one street and they let go of each other's hands and just walk next to each other. I said yeah this is where we don't hold hands this is kind of like a no-go zone for us here... In Rotterdam! The Netherlands! Yeah you brought it on yourself. I did? Okay I take full responsibility. I'm sorry about all that. No All right, that's it. Right? That's our execs and associate executive producers. These are our Executive Associate Executive Producers for show 1095 Thank you very much these are the credits that you desire all of you can use them because they are official You were either an executive producer or an associate executive producer of The No Agenda Show episode 1094 display it loud and proud

1:37:07 Anywhere that credits are recognized you will get places with this. Go ahead try it out people put on a LinkedIn does seem to work and we'll be thanking more people $50 and above in our second segment Please remember that we do have another show coming up on Thursday perhaps with the report from Thailand But certainly with more media news deconstruction remember us at vorac.org That's a jingle Slash N A And now that you know what a jingle is, You can take that knowledge go out there and let propagate Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth So what's this report from Thailand? On the Miss Universe competition. Oh, is that where it is? Yes in Bangkok I call my buddy Michelle He's over there and he go even one of these British guys that goes to Bangkok all the time fishy or very fishy a lot of British guys do this

1:38:12 And I call him up and said, hey are you there? He said what are you talking about. They just left Bangkok he's now in Phuket, he is in the islands. Are you crazy?! If I had known that...I would have stayed! So let see if we can get a report maybe just by watching it. If your're up to it. It is possible. While were on being douchebags about about stuff. And now it's time for your sexual harassment update. There of course is always something going on in the Me Too and the hashtag me too movement, not all of it good but something that we

1:38:49 Surmised about and I think we don't remember exactly the conversation, but are pretty sure we predicted this would happen as We now have a full sweep across the board there to CBS with less moon vests out and actually there's a couple more. We even forgot about And here is the result. I'm pretty sure we predicted this and David in your reporting have you come across people who believe there's a climate at CBS Entertainment division and parts of the news division that foster sexual harassment, maybe even sexual assault John do you think there's a climate of that over there at CBS? Absolutely

1:39:26 Well, you know the the most glaring example of this in many ways is Fox News under Roger Ailes But this was very disturbing It comes back to CBS I just thought you'd get a kick out of that Well, you know the most glaring example of this in many ways is Fox News under Roger Ailes. But this was very disturbing coming from the top Les Moonves had been essentially running CBS for two decades and if you look at what happened in the news division as well The fact that Jeff Fager a former executive producer 60 minutes and former chairman of CBS News has been accused of sexual harassment And tolerating culture at 60 minutes of that the fact that it turned out his predecessor Don Hewitt according to revelations

1:40:09 had essentially sexually assaulted former subordinate and colleague female subordinates so severely that CBS ended up paying her what totaled up to $5 million over the years in payments that apparently are – has still been going on as recently as this year. It's hard not to think that there is a climate that is not only hostile of women, but hostiles at the idea accountability for this kind of behavior, at least until these revelations now. And is a merger on the table? It certainly looks likely. Sherry Redstone is the controlling owner of both CBS and Viacom, she has wanted to merge these sister companies once more reunify them and the main obstacle in her way was Les Moonves and the corporate board at CBS that had been supporting him That board has changed The sympathies toward Moonve's position changed And Moonve is gone So it would seem as though the stars are aligning for her To be able to get control both companies and ultimately bring them under the same umbrella

1:41:01 Gee, you don't think that was the plan all along do you? That's an interesting theory. I'm pretty sure we discussed just that! Yes, I think we pretty much did yeah so and now what money over there And what would the benefit be of bringing those two together is it is there any particular benefit and why Why did she want it in those douchebags didn't? You could futz with the books a little better Well that's true. You could fuse the IRS a little better There are lot of benefits no benefits to the programming It'll probably hurt the network. I think the networks gonna have a slide Do they have the Super Bowl is it CBS was the Super Bowl? Well, they rotate it so that doesn't just no one network has who has it this year though I don't know because I was reading about you know The the halftime which I think is 17 or 18 minutes is quite long The half time show is Adam Levine Maroon 5

1:42:01 Which is very, I mean if you want to get a safe vanilla axe for the Super Bowl Maroon 5 is your band. But what they typically do is they want to have other artists come out and participate and no one wants to be apart of it They're all worried about anything being insensitive at any moment to anybody Yeah So And unless you have anything else we'll close out this segment And this concludes your sexual harassment update Dan you're up to speed Yes, all right. What we got here? No poisoning and a Hindu celebration I thought was worth discussing.

1:42:42 I was thinking, play this Hindu celebration poisoning. I have a thought on this. In India's southern state of Karnataka 11 people died including two children after what may be mass food poisoning at a Hindu religious festival yesterday more than 90 people were hospitalized after eating a religious food offering authorities say several people are being questioned about the incident police said that organs of the deceased victims have been sent to a crime lab for forensic analysis Huh! That is a terrorist attack how many people? 11 dead and like hundreds injured. The big piece of news that nobody, and you probably don't have it, I don't think it was talked much about because it took place late on Friday classic over the weekend thing was played up a little bit but did you know that Obamacare was repealed? No what was repealed this happened in Texas so I do know is there was no repeal that's not true

1:43:43 A judge, a court in Texas said that the individual mandate was unconstitutional. That's not quite a repeal. It has to go to the... Technically it is not a repeal, its a repudiation but let us play the clip A coalition of states with Democratic leadership is promising to appeal a federal court ruling that aimed to invalidate the entire Affordable Care Act known as Obamacare. Late yesterday, Judge Reed O'Connor of the Federal District Court in Fort Worth Texas said the law's individual mandate which requires all Americans to have health insurance is quote unconstitutional and that the rest of the act

1:44:21 fails without the mandate. The law and all insurance policies remain in effect as the ruling makes its way through the courts. The case was brought by a group of Republican state attorneys general, and is expected to go to the U.S. Supreme Court this afternoon on a visit to Arlington National Cemetery where volunteers had placed wreaths on each gravesite President Trump praised the court decision It was a big ruling, it's a great ruling for our country. We'll be able to get great healthcare we'll sit down with the Democrats if the Supreme Court upholds. We will be sitting down with the Democrats and we will get great health care for our people For some perspective on all this, on a very busy Saturday. NewsHour weekend special correspondent Jeff Greenfield joins us now from Santa Barbara. Jeff let's start with what could be the more consequential bit of news that happened last night The court ruling A federal judge says the entire Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional

1:45:14 Well, when the Affordable Care Act was passed it made every American either get health insurance or pay a penalty. When Chief Justice Roberts cast the deciding vote to uphold law he said well that penalties attacks and Congress has the power to impose attacks last year congress passed in the president signed a bill that said no more penalty and what this judge said was well now there's no penalty you're forcing Americans to get healthcare you the congress don't have that power and the entire Obamacare law, Medicaid expansion, subsidies for low-income Americans protection from preexisting condition bans no more caps on the lifetime payout of insurance companies all of that he said has to go. Very skeptical There's a number of issues here it was obvious genius just to knock that one nicked at one little aspect of the Obamacare system

1:46:11 Just to get rid of that, which is the you have to have it or you can't get fined. And that's what turned the table... Well hold on just to recall... Is Trump a genius? The individual mandate was taken to the Supreme Court and deemed a tax and a constitutional method of applying it. Right So nothing is, you know... I don't know. This sounds like a bunch of posturing and bullshit to me. I don't know! I think it's gonna be a problem but i want to remind people there are two things one I don't see how its going to improve anything so Trump is full of crap

1:46:52 I want to remind people that this whole system only began, this whole insure yourself you got insurance even see a doctor now never existed when i was a kid. It wasn't until 1973 when Nixon signed the HMO Act of 1973 that allowed the health care systems to make money it was always illegal in the US to profit off of healthcare until 1973 and ever since, all they've been doing is gouging us at the doctor's office. Gouging us at the... Especially the drug companies have been... That's the game they're playing. Jack up the price of the drugs so thus your insurance prices have to go up. It is a scam that Nixon started! What was the legislation that changed that? Do you know? The HMO Act in 1973. Huh

1:47:50 And did that then also include all these restrictions of territories for insurance companies? No, no. That came later. It evolved naturally. I want to remind people when you hear insurance company you think oh these people are looking out for me. They're bankers or just banks it's just banks there's nothing else at the bank looks like a bank smells like a bank is Bank and just another financial institution but you can see... Nothing until 73 these big operations and phony insurance operations, all the rest of it's not insurance where you have to have insurance. You have to have an insurance card that go to the hospital yet then insurance card that didn't exist. That didn't exist in what? The only thing that came close was Kaiser and Kaiser wasn't, wasn't profitable. It was just a, it was the Kaiser system of, it was kind of like an original HMO and it was there as kind of a,

1:48:44 kind of an experiment in socialized medicine. And it worked, but there was no profit involved and once they gave them the green light to make money, they've screwed us that's why the American system is... That's where we pay more and we get less benefits from healthcare in this country than any other country in the world. Yeah, and it's probably not reversible at this point because there's so much of the economy And this is what people, I think fail to realize. There's so much riding on this! So many people are a part of this just working stiff... It would be reversible if we could brainwash the kids like they do with climate change This would be a better thing to get the kids all worked up about

1:49:26 And how do you suggest going about that? Well, maybe getting some teachers that can teach stuff the information that is valuable and so far instead of just knuckling under. Oh I guess my insurance rates have gone up again what am i gonna do?! I mean it's pathetic! Yeah maybe we should get a little that French vibe going on some yellow jacket stuff Alright, that's my little complaint for the day. It's a good... it's a valid complaint! You think? Yeah the HMO Act of 1973 and I need to go back and look at that Republicans again. It was Republicans. Screw us. They were doing somebody a favor. Screwing us.

1:50:09 Well, the other part of our economy here in the United States is of course making war stuff. And we're very good at it and a lot of our money... We are phone finger up in the air loud and proud number one when it comes to making stuff that kills other people particularly brown people in sandy areas but how much money have we actually spent on it? The Pentagon failed their audit, which got I think a mention somewhere. Someone mentioned... Oh yeah we should be talking about this. They failed their audit? Yeah just a little mention about that. If you're giving somebody 700 billion dollars you think they'd have higher maybe than you think they could afford to hire a couple of guys that could monitor where that money goes? No! Is asking too much? Well Anita Crawford who is chair of what is she the chair of

1:50:58 She's the at some here. She is Anita Crawford is the chair of political science department at Boston University? She's come up with some numbers when it comes to the war Department as to just how much we spent on fighting terror You want to have a little guess Fighting terror? Fighting terror, yes. And of course... A hundred billion dollars! A hundred billion dollars that actually was what was promised We wanted to help people understand how it is that the United States has used its resources since 9-11 in particular how when we were told that these wars would cost several hundred billion dollars they've actually cost

1:51:34 into the trillions. And part of the reason for that is the spending occurs in other areas besides the Department of Defense OCO budget. Right, and you've come up with a figure of 5.9 trillion and that's so far since let's say 9-11? Is that your baseline when you started? We start with the 9-11 period and we look at not only what the U.S has spent in the overseas operations – the major ones – but also look at other operations that the United States has conducted and in addition we add the spending that associated with increased military spending overall because congress essentially has given the department of defense a blank check. We also look at homeland security spending that's associated with counterterrorism, as well as the spending that is related to

1:52:18 taking care of the 3 million veterans who have since returned from these wars. And if somehow operations overseas, Iraq Afghanistan Syria wherever the multiple countries were operating in on what seems like some large amorphous connected effort suppose that were to somehow magically cease at the end of say this current fiscal year 2019 what do you think would be the effect? If it were to magically end, and we know that the Department of Defense is planning on spending until through 2023 at least. If it were to magically end, we'd still have to spend in these wars the interest on borrowing to pay for the war. Okay? Even if we stopped today, we would still be spending billions each year for interest on a borrowing. The United States military is accounting for more than 60% or about 60% of all discretionary spending.

1:53:08 Now that's what we should get the kids all riled up about. Yeah, it's a lot of money. It's almost as if global warming is a distraction to keep the kids from... From figuring it out! Because you're paying taxes your mommy and daddy are paying taxes If you're not and it's not going towards fixing the world. It's actually going towards killing people. Yeah bombing the world. Bombin' it. I'm gonna bomb them. I have some very kind of sad news for the show What? Well, you know how we've been doing transcriptions. Yeah Tom Schuring he's a Dutch guy in Australia He's done transcriptions of the last 90 episodes of No Agenda Okay And they're not great You know and then of course the transcriptions include the clips as well So there's lot of strange stuff that shows up but he did a word cloud

1:54:07 So now we know what words are used most often on this program Trump well, I'm going to in total 1 million six hundred and fifty seven thousand four hundred and thirty three words were put into the word cloud And I will give you the top. Let me see is this ten? I think it's 10 one two three four five six seven eight nine Yeah It's the top 15 so we'll start down at 15 The word Republican was used 406 times in the past 90 episodes of the show. After that, Adam 489 times. Facebook 586 time Podcast 653 Democrat 679! That's almost 200 times more than the Republicans winning the popular vote in our word cloud yet again

1:55:01 American, Merkin 727 times. Russia 757 times shows you where our bread is buttered John 1078 times that was used Why? Who uses John Me! You never talk about me clearly You're on the list Yeah at 406 Oh no Then we jump from your thousand to Trump 2074 Which is not as much as I thought it would be. But then at 8,000 and this is troubling the word think and I know where this is coming from And we got to work on that What is it? Because you say I think...I think no I think Oh no! We can't say I think I hate this

1:55:52 You should be saying I feel. I feel, I dream...I envision, I posit We've had a number of them but... I posit that's what i'm going to go for But I think is uh that's what all these damn tech podcasts are doing all the time Well I think now I think if I think and then I think So we have to be careful with that one And then just let me just go straight to the top two The top two words most frequently used Respectively with 14,000 and 10,000 counts which two words would these be I and you Nope shit. So I got that's all you got when you hear it You're gonna go up the top two words are yeah and no Yeah

1:56:54 Yeah, no the top two words with no actually being number one. No yeah you know yeah How about that we need to work on ourselves? That's I found it to be very discouraging well We try to pay attention to our words. We do now again clips are included in this so it may not Right but still We are the Yeno podcasters, everybody. Proud to be here! Yeno! Yeno! Yeno? Yeno... That's fascinating Come on you didn't like that?! I did like it Alright well let me do a shopping tip then from NPR

1:57:44 Because you know they love these little things around the holiday, a little shopping tip. Popular board games and you might be surprised by the most popular board game of them all this season I want to ask you about a game that some members of our staff have clued me about i'm uncomfortable with the title Secret Hitler Secret Hitler is currently very, very popular. And it was really funny because when it first came out they sent free copies to every member of Congress so its very, very popular on Capitol Hill because it got a lot of exposure and publicity through that publicity stunt. What makes something called secret hitler a game? By the way I want to point out the original made no secret but go ahead

1:58:25 This is true, but in this game there are different sides. One person is secretly Hitler and nobody knows who he is and then there are different sides that are trying to find him and it's basically called a hidden role game because nobody knows who is who and using deductive reasoning you're trying to figure out who Hitler is and get rid of him. It's the perfect game for Capitol Hill right? Perhaps I shouldn't say I'm astonished by this report. If it wasn't for the... Orange man bad! If it wasn't for the incessant calling Trump Hitler, this would have been quite seen as outrageous and maybe the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League would have said it's not funny

1:59:14 To make fun of, you know to have a great little board game with Hitler unless we all get to put on yellow stars as were playing. You know? You get the choose... Someone gets the yarmulke someone gets the Yellow Star I mean why don't you take it all away with your stupid board game But yes its seen as funny now by NPR I find it quite insulting Im not triggered by it but Damn, are you used here? You are triggered. You're not familiar with what that would trigger means then just were You were triggered right there. No, we witnessed it now I'm not well yes, I mean denial I'm triggered by it and triggered by the fact that its its We've taken things like the word racism The concept of Nazis and Hitler's when we just take in this to watering everything down make it easier thing to digest Yes

2:00:03 Yes, thank you. We can now focus on real things that are important like climate change Extinction of everything in the planet it's the extinction rebellion yes hmm well we can also take a look at what's out there Richard Branson, his spaceship... was it Spaceship One? Flew into space. I'm not quite sure I understand the euphoria over all this. I don't get it either! Here's a little clip of him just he's beside himself Obviously after 14 hard years to have taken Virgin Galactic into space is a momentous historic occasion So what happened this wonderful spaceship that's behind us

2:00:50 took off early this morning on this beautiful day attached to White Knight which is a giant plane that we built to carry her. Went up to 40,000 feet it then was dropped away from White Knight and fired its rockets and traveled from North to 3,000 miles an hour in eight seconds piloted by two wonderful astronauts and soared into space. And we could all see it just from where we were standing going up and up and then obviously disappearing when it went into space. And then the now astronauts which is quite exciting, we weren't pilots before...

2:01:32 50 years ago we put a bunch of people in a tube and they went up and they walked on the moon And now we got to be all old as you would put it jacked-up over this I don't understand. Why is this so exciting? Put a guy on the moon, then you'll impress me Richard Branson Oh put a guy on Mars then you'll impress me all the money and are we crazy This is just a joy they've created that world's most expensive Joyride Yeah for rich a-holes douchebags that are gonna pay, you know a half a million quarter of a million to half a million bucks to take a ride in this thing and That's where they're giddy. It's like wow look at the money we can make But three people in it four people is a million bucks in this sucker And he's only going to cost us a half a million bucks to send them up John make a half a million bucks in five minutes John just explain to me with all the money

2:02:25 that Branson has, or even Elon Musk. Just compared to the moon launches you know the moon shot I mean that was no tech! I've been in the capsule they had a couple of dials and basically sitting on a big ass rocket I mean if you have all this money why would you fiddle around going into space and doing like a little nose over, like woo that was fun. It's just a joyride! Why not go to the moon? Doesn't seem like all that technology they were using was spectacular or was it? Yeah well you can make that argument until your blue in the face

2:03:04 I think your point's well taken that these guys are just, I don't know why they're so giddy either because they can do it. It's like...I think it's the joy over the fact that after 50 years, the private sector can do what the government could do 50 years ago, you know using all the resources of the government. I mean the government can put together a huge army it has a 700 million dollar military budget these are things that private enterprise really can't do right? You can't spend million dollars, 700 billion. I'm sorry you can spend rich. I think Bezos is getting close to this he could spend let's say at some future point where it was almost a trillionaire he could spend $700 million billion on a giant military force and go invade someplace but he can't do it the next year because he's out of money

2:03:57 Only a government can do it. Space Force! I'm gonna show my school by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah, that'd be fab On No Agenda morning Interesting how difficult it was for me to say billion It's okay, I got your back Eric Sleer $123.45, these are the people that helped us produce show 1095 we're gonna thank each and every one of them they contributed more than fifty dollars Maxim Maxim Kopelkin or Kopeikin?

Oh, I'm sure someone would have sent this to you didn't well Stephen Fry very famous guy Steven Fry is very famous Brit he's very famous He hosts a podcast called no such thing as fish It's one of those those British things will never understand classic You've heard of this no such thing as fish know but I said the phraseologies yes okay, but it's basically British So they talked about you and do you want to hear it?

2:19:58 Well, I might as well. You know on the internet if you click on a naughty site you might get a whole load of pop-ups right? Loads and loads of pop up things... Oh yeah! Yeah, oh you do know that thing don't ya? No, I've read about it in my pornographer's digest. They're called pornaidos or porn storms. This is a phrase coined by John C Dvorak Okay, now first of all is this true? Did you claim the porn storm or pornado? Yeah I did but it was about 10 years ago. Yeah well so this part is true but then... This is a phrase coined by John C Dvorak who was the nephew of the guy who invented the Dvorak keyboard Is this fake news?!

2:20:55 Is your name John C. Dvorak, nephew of the man who built the... The Dvorak keyboard? Well it's a rumor that has been out there and I don't make much of a point to just quash it Well if you want to hear the rest of this clip It's a minute They go into some other historical stuff And I know that it is annoying but it actually winds up being very very funny And I would like to play it for you. Because you know where they're going obviously with the mouse bullshit, but it's interesting to hear... So I know the real story. I know who you are. I know what we've done all your life You are not just known for being the nephew of the guy who invented the keyboard as much as I'm not just the MTV guy

2:21:44 So we all know how this goes. Yeah, but you were an MTV guy got nothing to do with the keyboard! But you're one step removed your one degree of separation from fame so anyway let's continue with this it becomes very funny by John C Dvorak who is the nephew of the guy who invented that Dvorak keyboard which is like a QWERTY keyboard but it's supposed to be slightly better than the QWERTY keyboard. That's a step down, isn't it? In father-son invention terms... Yeah! Well Dvorak writes a lot about computers and he said that the reason Apple's Macintosh computer would not be successful is because it uses a pointing device called a mouse and there is no evidence that people want to use these things Which by the way in hindsight I think you're absolutely right

2:22:33 Witness everyone using pens on their tablets, so there's no evidence. They wanted to use it they did when they were forced I'm really defending you here John and then he wrote a second they're quoting from a column I wrote in 1984 yes, yes in a newspaper So as if I wrote it yesterday. Oh, it gets better! 30 years later... It gets better. ...called a mouse and there is no evidence that people want to use these things And then he wrote about Steve Jobs Maybe when the smoke clears we will have heard the last of Steve Jobs as guru seer visionary He'll go the way of the pet rock electric carving knives silly putty tiny Tim on the three-tone paint job

2:23:19 That's a really rough on Tiny Tim. Hang on! Alona's not very good at products and then one of the most heart-rending characters in all literature. Squashed up next to Sillybug. I don't think they... Who do they think Tiny Tim is? I think they think Tiny Tim is the kid in The Dickens, uh...? Yes that's who they're referring to now the other thing about that particular mention That's pretty, you know it's pretty scandalous because they make it sound as though I wrote this after he died. Yeah! I wrote that when John Sculley took his job and kicked him out of Apple in the 80s or you know so they've taken that out of context this is unbelievable they would be this callous to take this out a context there such an extreme and push it up

2:24:08 to net to the current era as if I wrote that because he died and is gone so we don't have to worry about him anymore. That is really, really needs an apology. I think you should do it for bad form. Squashed up next to silly party areas. Bad. They thought was I was just a job was a British prick. Hey John are you triggered? I can only imagine maybe Tiny Tim is something else in America, right? I guess so. Probably like a failed product or something But like you know it'll go the way of sea monkeys nasal hair trimmers and Jude the Obscure. Squid! Spud! I hate those A-holes but i'm glad they found it amusing don't laugh about my cohosts like that you British twats

2:25:04 I'll teach you a thing or two. You know what? As long as it's not your obituary, all press is good baby! Take it! Good to go! Take it baby, It's all good! I found that to be quite mean...I was a little angry for ya. Well, just a little. It doesn't bother me. I know, I know, you're big boy Dvorak Dvorak Dvorak Russian pronunciation of the composer yes, it's quite different Okay Let me play a couple things here. I'm mindful of your time hmm

2:25:50 I've got the thing right in my hand. I can't but, i want to play this has been it's been eating at me this is the Simon Seneca guy I think a sociologist writer or something on cell phone addiction right? The problem with this is he keeps saying write and how come that word didn't show up in our word cloud at the top Right? face up or face down, I don't care that sends a subconscious message to the room that you're just not that important to me right now. That's what happens and the fact that you cannot put it away is because you are addicted If you wake up and check your phone before you say good morning to your girlfriend boyfriend or spouse You have an addiction And like all addictions in time it will destroy relationships It'll cost time and money and make your life worse

2:26:48 Okay, just thought everyone should know that I thought we played a longer clip of this guy. I recall this I'm sick of these long clips. Oh really? I got a clip This is you know they Trump finally decided he's gonna get us a new sky chief of staff Yeah who hates him but it's fine He's gonna put him in there and I just like the way the CBS is a one-minute clip But it's about this guy Mulvaney the new chief of staff And they can't even go more than just over a minute before they have to kind of throw in spurious Trump.

2:27:22 You know, hate Trump memes. This is ridiculous! President Trump has selected his trusted cabinet official Mick Mulvaney as his acting chief of staff He will replace General John Kelly who plans to leave by the end of the year In recent days The president has denied that he is struggling to fill the crucial White House position But just today former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie took himself out of the running How long does this support stand? Five people Really good ones One reason for the lack of interest may be the growing legal woes facing the president. Speaking for the first time since being sentenced to three years in prison, President Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen said today he followed a bad path when he arranged hush money payments during the 2016 campaign. I'm angry at myself

2:26:48 Okay, just thought everyone should know that I thought we played a longer clip of this guy. I recall this I'm sick of these long clips. Oh really? I got a clip This is you know they Trump finally decided he's gonna get us a new sky chief of staff Yeah who hates him but it's fine He's gonna put him in there and I just like the way the CBS is a one-minute clip But it's about this guy Mulvaney the new chief of staff And they can't even go more than just over a minute before they have to kind of throw in spurious Trump.

Speaking for the first time since being sentenced to three years in prison, President Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen said today he followed a bad path when he arranged hush money payments during the 2016 campaign. I'm angry at myself

2:28:11 Because I knew what i was doing was wrong. President Trump has denied the payments to former Playboy model Karen McEville and porn star Stormy Daniels were made to help his campaign, but Cohen says the president was worried about their allegations of extramarital affairs So yes he was very concerned about how this would affect the election. I would like to say something about that I read all the documents about Cohen, the president's lawyer. And a couple of things stood out. One is he does not actually have a deal – a classic flip deal with the special counsel or the special prosecutor

2:28:53 I was Mueller it specifically states in the documentation that he doesn't this like a KK five letter or some some technical term. He does not have that so there's no like real flipping that went on but also The way it's described, this is the Southern District of New York which is very different. This not...this what happened to Cohen here is not the Mueller investigation. This is the Southern District of New York where the financial crimes take place and this guy he had like 20 million dollar bank loans that he lied about and you know all these taxi medallion crap And so they go through all that stuff, which is the majority of it. These are tax crimes which you get punished severely for cheating on your taxes in America we have an honor system when you mess up and get caught or whatever happens You can definitely go to jail these guys have guns I've dealt with them They're not nice In my opinion

2:29:48 And then at the end there, there's the campaign finance violations which are described in the documents as very very egregious crimes against... although again it is from the Southern District of New York so it may just be opinion. I'm not sure what that means for them and what their jurisdiction is but they see that as at least 30 months should just be for those crimes alone because it was defrauding the United States The only place where this showed up a little bit was in his interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC. What I get? Whoa, way to go George! You got the boy and here they do kind of just say well you know it's not really has nothing to do with anything really. The truth is I told the truth. I took responsibility for my actions Here comes the quote of the week And instead of him taking responsibility for his actions what does he do

2:30:45 He attacks my family. He says, his claim you're lying about him to protect your wife and to protect your father-in-law. Inaccurate he knows the truth I know the truth others know the truth here's the truth the man doesn't tell the truth. Nailed it! said that I should take responsibility for his dirty deeds. Cohen is cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller in his Russia investigation and separately federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York have implicated but not charged the president those deals they allege Cohen acted in coordination with and at the direction of Trump according to court filings Trump tweeted that he never directed Michael Cohen to break the law if it were true that the president was just an unwitting client

2:31:38 who'd been advised badly by a lawyer could be a defense. The problem is that according to Michael Cohn, Donald Trump made the deal himself with American media at this point the president is effectively an unindicted co-conspirator there it is okay well yes well you know one of the problems with the logic of all this is that trump Cohen is a criminal lawyer and that's not deniable. And so whatever Trump says, well this guy is a crook I was working with. I didn't know he was going to be indicted and thrown in jail for three years and what are you blaming me for? The fact is Cohen is a crook! So I think Trump will get out of this

2:32:32 Well, if Cohen was off you know and he unless Cohen has it on tape which he might but there's no evidence of that because it would have been brought out. I just the whole thing is to me is very interesting because you know, I think a lot of people in the media really don't understand the difference from where this is coming from what it's about and Trump may very well be in trouble for this. I don't know this Southern District New York is very clear they find us to be huge thinks he might be yeah, I mean and when you read the Doc's doesn't Yeah, but when you read it's like wow. You know that's pretty serious and I will say the timing of it That didn't know this the timing of it is right after the the grabber by the pussy Tape came out that was a couple weeks before the election And it was right after that that these payments took place so yeah I would say that is that is defrauding The United States government from something we kind of knew but

2:33:31 If you want to look at it black and white, like yeah we didn't want anyone to know he's a douchebag. Well I guess yeah then in that case... He knew he was a douchebag! Yeah but so he was trying to hide it and I think there is a case to be made that that is defrauding the American people now the severity of it is something else but I think he's in more trouble than he thinks. Oh, I'm using the think a lot! I posit that he is in a lot more trouble. That's where that comes from. I know it's all me you're yeah no I'm think. I'm yeah no your think. Yeah no I'm think here. You know who really knows what to think? It's Maxine Waters

2:34:09 of the descriptions of what would happen if we moved to impeach Trump are basically excuses. Excuses because, you know, maybe they don't want to fail at it? it that is resonating with the senators, the members of Congress, Republican or Democrat. But they are derelict in their responsibility. The Constitution gives us the responsibility to impeach

2:34:54 a president and others in government if, in fact they are guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors which we define. I believe that this president is dangerous. I think he has undermined our democracy. I think he's aligned himself with the enemy with Putin. He loves dictators. undone some of the good public policy that has been created for the safety of the citizens of this country. And I believe that he certainly qualifies for impeachment, we may never get it done and maybe Democrats fear that somehow if we move to impeach him maybe his base will grow larger? I don't think so. I think they're going to shrink. I think their base is going to shrink because they are going to see who this president really is. He's talking about

2:35:44 down the government, he's going to hurt some of the very people he claims to want to support. Many of these people are just workers out there—people who are living on their paychecks day-to-day and I want you know they cannot afford to have their paychecks cut off because this president is going to close down the government. He deserves to be impeached Wow, she just goes on a rant. By the way, the grab him by the pussy thing was one month not a week before No I thought it was two weeks It was one month? Oh One whole month October 7th Okay well still... Was one- oh hmmm I thought it was 2 weeks Alright 1 month

2:36:26 It doesn't matter because the Washington Post knows exactly how this is going to play out. I mean, it's very obvious it's an easy trick he'll never have to go to jail ever. EJ is exactly right that isn't guidance its never been litigated and I don't know that the Trump Justice Department is gonna test it. I also don't think that Trump can pardon himself and if he tries that and that his only mechanism he risks being prosecuted after he leaves office for that very reason predict here on MSNBC that when Trump leaves office he will resign the presidency 10 minutes before Mike Pence leaves. I've never played this. I thought i had it on the last show before, this is what's...this is that... This is the Rubin woman who was- I don't think we played it! The supposed oh okay well it's a rumage this Jennifer Rubin the supposedly conservative blogger

2:37:20 who's a radical left winger for the Washington Post, this is her prediction. It is idiotic! He will resign the presidency 10 minutes before Mike Pence leaves office allowing Pence to pardon him if there is not a Republican president to follow him Wow! We got that on tape and also when you accept a pardon You have to accept a level of guilt Oh yeah! So let's keep that in mind My panel will be right back up next with Who Won The Week? The best accusation against the president is a new one from a comedian. Comedian who used to work with Trump. Okay, this would be good. Noel Kassler. Oh never heard of him. Well he makes some interesting allegations. I work in live television

2:38:10 I've done that for the last 20 years. I work in TV production in the talent departments, taking care of all the performers It's kind of like herding cats if cats had tublisses and massive egos. I did six seasons of The Celebrity Apprentice finale Oh yeah you can see where this is going My job was taking care of the Trump family too Yeah Don Jr Amarosa, Melania. It was like a freaking Mensa meeting every day! I really like you guys now... That's my favorite joke. I'm gonna tell you one more thing that I don't usually tell. I'll tell you two more things since your being so nice to me He is a speed freak

2:38:56 He crushes up his Adderall and he sniffs it because he can't read so he gets really nervous when he has to read cue cards. I'm not kidding, this is true! I had a 24-page NDA non disclosure agreement. I didn't know then that he was becoming president now it's no way dumbass I'm telling you everything I know Wow. Had not expected that I didn't hear anything about this. This is good Yeah, that he crushes up his Adderall and he snorts it whenever he has to read and that's why you know But that's dangerous this guy is already hyperkinetic if he's snorting meth I mean that his head could blow up Or a combination of amphetamines yeah

2:40:03 Wow. Yeah, I'm surprised that he's not had a heart attack He was listening to the podcast at 18x speed? Dad! Those guys know what gender are yeah I hear them all out of there I listened to their whole show in 3 hours and 30 minutes So I picked up this piece unfortunately there is no good reporting or clips on it but i have the printouts Of the latest trends in baby names Ah yes In which region? USA Really the baby name trends in twenty eighteen were mostly pop culture world cup names like fey felix ferner who's gonna name their kids fern.

And then we go back to the names of boys and girls back if you go just as far back as 2017 2017, you get these names which we have seen these. So these are the ones that are gonna show up but a new trend is non-binary names or I'm sorry these are current trends. Non-binary names, names that are gender neutral this means no names that end in son like Mattis Son or names originally boy or girl names that migrated to other sides such as Charlie

This is well this enough Adams a lot of Adam Currys out there. I think there's a lot of Adams Yes was one time John Adam and a few these others

2:44:51 were the most popular names ever. Edward I think is one of them too, they don't know no no you gotta name your kid Moonbeam or dipshit or something like that's a better name. I'd like Aruba, what is it? Aroha Aroha is still the way to go. My name's Aroha and here we have coming to you is a Aroha Dvorak I'd like to close this out with two yellow vest updates, I'd like to start with yours from PBS as this is not stopping throughout Europe it is bubbling under the news media is not really talking about it Because they can't, let's see what PBS says. The Yellow Vest protests in France entered their fifth straight weekend today as marchers called for more government reforms In Paris there were fewer protesters than on past weekends Almost 70 thousand police mobilized throughout the country The government had called for a suspension of protests following Tuesdays attack on a market in the city of Strasbourg Today's protesters did hold a minute of silence to mourn the four victims of that attack

2:45:53 Did you see the list that they actually want? They have a list of demands. This is why it's not stopped because this is not just about the carbon tax. No, they've gotten fed up I'm gonna run down zero homelessness income tax more progressive which means more slices minimum wage for growth 1300 euros net per month. Promote small business villages and city centers, stop the construction of large commercial areas around big cities that kill small business, large insulation plan for housing ecological savings make big people pay big money

2:46:37 So that's Google, Amazon crossroads is what they're saying. Same system of social security for all the pension system must remain in solidarity and socialized end of tax increase on fuel no pension below 1200 euros any elected representative will have the right to a median salary as transport cost will be monitored and reimbursed if they are justified The wages of all French people as well as pensioners and allowances must be indexed to inflation. I mean it just goes on and on, let me see what else... Jobs that are created for the unemployed sure magic increase in disabled benefits limitation of rents and low-rent housing prohibition to sell property belonging to France like airports and damns

2:47:24 substantial means granted to justice, all money earned by highway tolls should be used for maintenance of motorways and roads. I mean it... there's at least a hundred different demands." Well good! Do they have the one that I think is what I would demand? What's that? That all airplanes carrying passengers should charge the passenger by their weight. No no they don't have that I do have a Voice of America version of the story. Now, Voice of America you have to understand is put together by the Broadcast Board of Governors it's propaganda arm of the United States State Department it is 100% propaganda so fun to listen to

2:48:15 their version of the Paris protests. This also, this is from actually about a week ago but there's a little fun little gotcha in here so you can understand where the State Department is with their head. Here in the United States the US president has weighed-in over the weekend about the situation with some interesting tweets and France's foreign minister apparently telling him to butt out. It's not really clear what the president meant, President Trump tweeting about Paris Agreement not working out well and that people there are chanting we want Trump in response Francis Foreign Minister Sunday telling Mr. Trump to basically not interfere in French politics, that we don't do that to American politics? What do you know about that?" Well what I can tell you is that I was at the Champs-Elysees around

2:49:12 the act of triumph for many hours during the protest on Saturday and I did not hear one person say we want Donald Trump. In fact, i didn't even hear anyone talk about Donald Trump The question of Donald Trump saying this demonstration was all about the Paris climate agreement it has nothing to do with the Paris climate agreement It's actually a demonstration of people talking about wanting their dignity, being able to live on money that they earn and having respect for that. So I don't know where that came from." Just so you know it's not all about carbon taxes at all according... What? Yeah! That's what she just said. This is lies. It's the voice of America its American lies yeah well I guess our lives are good They're very good. They serve a purpose And that's the truth about The Truth is when he was telling the truth He wasn't telling the truth No. And that's the truth

2:50:05 And that's how we roll everybody, big foam finger number one.
