00:00 Hello Cleveland! Adam Curry, John C. Devorak And Sunday February 17th 2019 this is your award-winning Get More Nation Media assassination episode 1113 This is no agenda Tracing Jamaican heritage and broadcasting live from the capital of the growing 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 all talking metric I'm John C. Devorack And he weasels it in go ahead talk about metric Okay, here. So here I am trying to print out the clip list yes, and I'm noticing this place It's cutting off the bottom clip. I don't know if anyone's noticed this but obviously did you see a clip to see oh? Yeah, you have it

00:52 And so I'm thinking... Yes, I've noticed this several times. Yeah and so I say well let me just put more room at the bottom of the page before I print it to solve that issue but it got on my nerves because a thing that doesn't just doesn't print out doesn't look right So I started looking at all the settings and then all of us for some reason this Epson printer has been set and I can assure you that in a million years I would not have done this It's been set for A4 paper, which is that horrible long kind of goofy looking paper that the Europeans use. It's what I grew up with it doesn't feel bad to me No it feels awkward to me and and also don't like the fact that has a name A4 instead of a dimension which I think is more appropriate for anything such as this 8 1⁄2 by 11. Its eight-and-a-half inches by eleven inches you know the size What's the size of an A4 sheet?

01:50 I don't know. Four? Yeah, see there you go! They're trying to separate you from reality this is the kind of globalism that they do. Okay got it Now the...I'm reminded when i was a kid in the 60s and then again when I was writing for probably think it was InfoWorld When I was a kid I was told in high school and oh you ever metric get used to we're all going metric metric metric And that didn't pan out to say the least. So like 20 years later, it comes up in a conversation I'm getting all kinds of memos from everyone get ready to go to A4 paper! The United States is going to have to use A4 paper by law

02:37 Because apparently you're gonna have to do anything with the Europeans even talk to him or send him a sheet, or a letter, or memo. It has to be on A4 paper or you'll be arrested! This is probably one of the early globalist moves that took place I think so well And so I'm saying, oh A4 paper is dumb but okay. Because you know everyone has the 8 1⁄2 by 11. Nothing came of it and another bluff which brings me to Brexit which i think this whole thing that's going to be some sort of a horrible disaster also a bluff. Okay! Yeah. I like where your going with this? I got no clips but I got in. Well luckily the show has a clip. I got a clip right here

03:24 I got a Brexit clip for you. This was something that was not really picked up, maybe you saw the president's Rose Garden speech about the national emergency? Yeah He had quite a little preamble and he had some post-amble as well which is always to me the most entertaining. He's always ambling isn't he Yes! He has this to say about the UK The U.K and the US as you probably have been seeing and hearing we're agreeing to go forward and preserve our trade agreement You know all of the situation with respect to Brexit and the complexity and the problems. We have a very good trading relationship with UK,

04:03 strengthened further. So with the UK we're continuing our trade and we are going to actually be increasing it very substantially as time goes by, We expect that the UK will be very very substantially increased as it relates to trade with the United States The relationship there also is very good Yes! Very good! Very more...very bigger, very strong Much more much much more trades The greatest trades ever We came, we trod, trod, sawed, traded. I guess we cut some kind of deal." Yeah and it seems that...I'm guessing we're going to see a lot more British gems and jellies. Ooh!

04:45 I don't really have an update. Aren't they in the middle of some deliberation at the moment, in the Brexit process? I think they're all in straight jackets at this point It's kind of sad because even if you go to Euronews and just looking for some news You can't really get it on Brexit Just like eh well maybe a thing here or there... It just doesn't seem like they've got anything They could! That's cause' they got nothing! Would make sense I did learn something about Europe actually Something really important. Remember the news article that we had maybe two shows ago about the Italians kicking the French ambassador out? Yeah, well I think it was mutual didn't it do did this begin with a French recalling the Ambassador to Italy? Aren't the French aggressors in this deal? No! I think the Italians were the aggressor's

05:44 The Italians... I think it was the French because they were irked about the Italians, this is unfortunate we should know all this. They were irked about the Italian meddling in their yellow vest protests Well that's not.. That wasn't....I think we hear France Oh yeah it does say this France is sending its ambassador back to Italy following the biggest diplomatic dispute between the two countries since World War II said European Affairs Minister blah blah blah blah They said a dramatic spat Well, it turns out this has nothing to do with the yellow vests. Nothing at all! It has to do with France and their involvement in Africa. And when I... This makes more sense Yeah when i heard this report one of our producers sent it to me like wow Of course we knew this? I guess but maybe I didn't know it seems kind of stupid

06:38 What we do know is that the Europeans, the European Union in particular France and Germany they have deals with Africa. We've got the European African... what is it? It's some kind of one these big compacts where these large agreements and they have always felt that the EU cannot live without Africa and vice versa turns out its really France And when you hear this report, it's a head slapper. In January Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio accused France of fueling the migrant crisis by controlling the economies of former African colonies through their local currency, the CFA. France is one of those countries that by printing money for 14 African states prevents their economic development and contributes to the fact that refugees leave and then die in the sea or arrive on our coasts

07:29 So this is the dispute. Italy is saying, and this report continues, Italy is saying that because France really controls the economies of 14 different African countries that it is because of their policy that is impoverishing these countries and that's why the young men are getting on boats and dying in the seas off the coast of Italy or a lot of them, of course do make it. They're now in Lampedusa and the island on the south of Italy And when you listen to the control France has over 14 countries, it's... Well let's do a little background on this. You have to remember there are a lot of French colonies in Africa in the old colonial days. This is the background. Most of Africa if they have a second language from their own native tongue It's French.

08:18 They all speak French. Well, this is the background of the financial part of the colonization which we either didn't know had forgotten or it's not taught The comment came days before the start of the presidential campaign in Senegal and the CFA is now part of the debate with each candidate taking positions on the matter some arguing for it others against it like Idris Aseg who asks why should white people in Paris take decisions on their currency. The Central African Franc or the CFA has a fixed exchange rate with the Euro, so Europeans can bring Euros to Africa and easily swap them for the CFA

08:56 But state regulators make it difficult for Africans to take CFA out of their country and swap them into euros. Under an arrangement dating back more than 70 years, France's central bank controls the treasury of all 14 countries leaving these nations with a limited supply of liquidity This guarantees a certain level of stability to the currency allowing our giant to shop at her favorite French supermarket because French companies profit from this arrangement. It allows them easy access to a growing market of over 100 million people, but there's also growing resentment towards this currency not just here in Senegal but throughout Francophone West Africa." France get out! The graffiti found in various avenues of the capital. Sanya is behind the messaging

09:45 We want a common currency, but for West African countries only without France's involvement. Or why couldn't we have our own currency like Morocco and Algeria? They are doing much better than us." France is so far yet so close. While money travels more freely than people Europe continues to attract young African men For Jian's family the journey is worth the risk So, because France is the literal Federal Reserve, the central bank, the printing press for these two African francs. They do in de facto control what's going on so they can't inflate their currency, they can deflate...they can't do anything!

10:33 Well, if they pay it to the euro and then they don't... They pay it to the euro with one-way exchange which is pretty pathetic. That's my favorite part! It seems to me that these countries can just... This country's moaning like I'm a head of a country saying why can't we be like Morocco and Algeria? Why do you become like Morocco in Algeria and cut yourself loose from this system?! Yeah, I think they all looked at Libya And Gaddafi's gold dinar idea? Yeah, but Gaddafi is trying to do a euro-dollar kind of... or I'm sorry petrodollar scam with gold based. Yes Which is just a little more aggressive than saying hey we're going to print our own money. Yeah and then all the sudden you have Ebola in your country and you got troops. Now I think they understand it's not that simple just stand up and say no we're not gonna take it anymore The French are pretty aggressive when it comes to shooting stuff up in Africa

11:27 Well, I mean the whole Libya thing... This is a piece of information that I had no knowledge of. Right? And also what's interesting is that there really this CFA franc, the Central African Franc and then you have the West African Franc And the two... They don't. It's, they do have two different currency codes it's XAF and the XOF so XOF is for West African francs, the XAF for the central and those two are incompatible So they're not even allowed to be exchanged against each other with obvious you know obvious reason You can't have them forming a whole block This is really this is a piece of global history I was woefully

12:15 undereducated. I wonder how the French profit from this? You don't do something like this... Well, the report just said it! ...to control somebody's currency not to make some... No no they can go in they get to buy up all the beautiful stuff with their euros it's easily interchangeable They go and build up everything they want there is a huge you know I'm sure that trade deficit is crazy so they can get everything they want for the prices that are...I mean it seems like typical bankster scheme Yeah well Why are the Italians bent out of shape? Oh, it's because all the dead bodies floating up on their shores. I think they have a point there Yeah, you got a point so yeah, I kind of thought that was... Well i'm glad this has been brought to light Yes new information yes new shit has come to light man exactly okay well we had the uh I guess we were pretty much spot-on with the national emergency declaration

13:19 Declared by the president? I thought we weren't spot-on. Oh, I think we were! Tell me how we were okay well We knew that he was going to do something under US code USC 10 code 284 right which he did and He brought in another Previously funded and pre approved Law, I'm just trying to get this up here. Which was...hold on a second...50 USC 1631 and then as the third part he called for the national emergency actually that is the section 2808 of title 10 US code The first two do not require a national emergency to be enforced

14:17 I believe that's the 2808, does require the national emergency and in his declaration he specifically...the president specifically states that he will be appropriating these funds in order. So it starts with 1601 and then it goes to 284 and thats about 5 billion together So, those are just existing laws. He didn't need any national emergency and the third one which will be challenged in the court of course that does require invocation of a national emergency so he... The way I see what was done here is let's call the national emergency have everyone bitch and moan and take take the whole thing to court but it's really for the third piece the first two go unchallenged and can start being used immediately

15:15 Ah, well. So partially right? I would think he would...I think the other approach would have been just to do the other without the national emergency just push those two elements into play Yeah, but I was saying is it was a distraction. It's what you're saying is the national emergency itself Was the distraction which draw attention away from the fact that he's already got a bunch of money ready to go Yes exactly and so that probably won't even be challenged at all be looking at the national emergency I did like how we position this it was one of his best run on up talking sentences ever if the order is signed and I'll sign the final papers as soon as they get into the Oval Office

15:56 And we will have a national emergency and we will then be sued, and they will sue us in the Ninth Circuit even though it shouldn't be there. We will possibly get a bad ruling, then another bad ruling, and end up in the Supreme Court. Hopefully, we'll get a fair shake and win the Supreme Court just like The Band They sued us in the Ninth Circuit and we lost, and then we lost in the appellate division. And then we went to the Supreme Court and we won." Now it was very interesting because yesterday they were talking about the ban because we have a ban that's very helpful Madam Secretary is that right? Without the ban what if

16:38 bigger problem we have a ban on certain... Alright, you get the idea. He knows exactly what's going to happen and he doesn't care because it's for the last three billion and he got an extra billion through the legislation that came from the House in the Senate Yeah, well that works out then. That's pretty sly! And what's interesting is that everyone... I think it was probably the only show that would point out this gambit? Because they talked about it on PBS and they did have the woman, that El Cindor woman come on and she showed them different monies and where they're coming from but you never put two-and-two together like you just did

17:24 Yeah, I'm sorry. You know it takes- you gotta be kind of dumb to get through this stuff? I think if you overthink... If you overthink everything like most of these jamokes do that's when you get confused! Like this was NPR with WAPO journalist Karen Tumulty? I'm not sure what her name is. And she's trying to explain even just how a national emergency is, you know it's not even defined properly this is something the president just don't do its you know we have standards and we have morals and we have traditions... Well listen... You know once again were reminded that the real checks on presidential power in our system have always been norms

18:08 This is interesting to me. We have absolute checks and balances within our three branches of government or the what would AOC call them? The three halls of Congress. Of course we have checks and balances but she feels this WAPO journalist who would know, feels that it's only based on norms more than laws and even court decisions And Donald Trump is no respecter of norms. So yes, there are some checks built into the statute if what that what the people who wrote it figured as you know if there was enough political pressure you might be able to stop the president because you could pass a resolution in one house that would be privileged and the other and and That we could block it but you know It does not appear that they would have

19:04 the votes to override a presidential veto of that legislation. So again, I think the big lesson of the Trump presidency has been how much we have depended on norms to prevent presidential overreach and this president is no respecter of those Can just very briefly remind us what you mean by norms, you know give us an example This is my favorite part. This is what the clip is about Just remind us What norms are you talking about now? It'll take about 30 seconds to say nothing that is not being respected or that's being cast aside

19:42 well you know it's not going to have a level of uh... you know i was and policy and he we can look at you know the fact that this country what do most of kind of the international systems the alliances that we have but we see the president going out and you know talking about pulling out of treaties in getting out of nato where the norms lately when uh... you notice anywhere who sees them. I mean he... He's seen many, just the norms! He looks at presidential power in a way that we have never seen in our lifetimes A president who looks at them that way Isn't that great? She does this whole thing about the norms and checks and balances but she can't give one example No because she is an idiot Yeah WAPO

20:37 Now in case anyone's interested, I'm sure this has been done in the mainstream if you really want to know what national emergencies have been caused. One news to news program was showing previous national emergencies. You know they show Bush with a round Contra, I'm not quite sure what Clinton...what they showed for Clinton and then they showed 9-11 for Bush too and then Obama swine flu It's like that's the only... Swine flu was declared a national emergency by Obama? That's what it, let me see. We'll take a look right now. I don't believe that! Well let's work backwards June 26 2008 continuing certain restrictions with respect to North Korea so that was a national emergency it's still in effect Lebanon and 2007 still an effect blocking property of certain persons the Democratic Republic of Congo which is still in effect

21:34 Cote d'Ivoire, which was terminated in 2016. Liberia which was revoked... it actually is all stuff for foreign countries. In 2004, prohibiting export of certain goods to Syria still in effect. Is this kind of foreign country related? Mexico! Yes but we don't border on Syria I would say that Mexico, since we're bordering on it, would be more of a national emergency than Syria. Well yes but you know... Orange man bad!

22:12 Well, we've heard nothing but bull crap about this being a horrible overreaction. And let me play this clip. This is David Brooks and this is on the PBS News Hour where they bring him in shields, the old droopy dog looking guy and they put the two of them on it. They're supposed to be two perspectives and it's always one perspective. It's the same hate Trump perspective which is hurting the show. They need to have somebody when they ask somebody why did Trump do I want to hear somebody that can explain it the way you just did or the way somebody who maybe thinks Trump is not a horrible orange man explained things to give us a balanced, kind of a balanced look at things so we have

22:59 balance you know one guy that's pro and one guys against us which should be not two guys who are again well and let's just make this very clear we do not expect this from cable news. We do expect it from the public broadcast system, from PBS. They give us nothing. Start David with... Okay well anyway so this is Brooks they're asking him about this I just listen to this response this is giving us no balance whatsoever The president's announcement today that he didn't get enough money to beef up the border as he wanted and therefore, he is declaring a national emergency so that he can spend up to $8 billion on it. Yeah well this is awful

23:34 You know, I don't think it has anything to do with any invasion as he claimed. I think he lost the government shutdown so he's giving himself a performance trophy so he can say I'm a winner. I think there is more about his psyche than actually in the country and it is a complete violation of any constitutional position that any liberal or conservative should believe in The constitution clearly states that allocations and appropriation are the job of Congress I love all these constitutional scholars who really don't know what... Oh, here it is. Obama 2009 National Emergency with Respect to the 2009 H1N1 Influenza Pandemic which was never terminated by the way and I actually was reading Bush's stuff. Obama has some really good ones so that was the first was swine flu then it was Somalia Libya

24:32 Then, oh and here's the one that Trump is using. Blocking property of transnational crime organizations and that has been continued then we go to Yemen then we go to Oh interesting 2012 blocking property of the government of the Russian Federation relating to the disposition of highly enriched uranium extracted from nuclear weapons which was revoked in 2015 just in time for them to do that Iranian One deal Then we have Ukraine, then we got South Sudan. Then we've got the Central African Republic and I don't remember that one... then we have Venezuela which started 2015 blocking property and suspending entry of certain persons contributing to the situation in Venezuela

25:19 and 2015 blocking the property of certain persons engaging in significant malicious cyber enabled activities, and the last one he did was Burundi. So you know this has been used a lot it's just never for Mexico apparently or at least not specifically and it still isn't used specifically for that is it's for the transnational crime for drugs and human trafficking It's a big distraction. Everyone is running around, what is this? This might be Fox let me see what they were saying. Either need to talk about the Constitution or not talk about the Constitution. But the Constitution provides that Congress can legislate on these types of issues and they have issued in 1976 The National Emergencies Act there was nothing In that act that would say that these two signing this bill as well as declaring a national emergency act And let me remind you That the President has declared the national emergency under current law

26:12 before he is signing the new bill. So ex post facto in the Constitution would dictate this national emergency was declared under previous law, not the new bill. Well that was pretty good actually. That might have been Fox Business, yeah MSNBC you know there was some Jim Acosta and it was actually kind of sad I didn't clip it just made me sad he had the angel moms and angel families which I have to say I find This this use of gold stars and angels for parents of children who have died either Serving in our military or for any other reason It irks me, and I'm not can't really put my finger on but the hell your gold star mom. No you're sad The whole thing is sad But then they get a labeled Gold Star

27:04 You know, next we'll have diamond moms. I don't know what else are we going to have for the next group of people whose children die? Anyway... So he had the He had those parents there and then Jim Acosta standing up and saying, well you know crime is down. And as you know...and then there was that old one where people who are born here commit more crime than illegal immigrants. Yeah a bunch of criminals. Thanks for the insult Jim! And Trump says hey why don't you moms stand up? Look at him it was really uncomfortable

27:42 It felt abusive on the one hand, and yes go there and show what happened to you. I guess what he should have said is if it was your kid Acosta how much is that worth? 1 billion 5 billion 8 billion would you care for your kid? But the president never does that. Well, the president doesn't do it... I mean the president could do that That's kind of you know not what his style is. Well having these moms stand up is... Well I know that's pathetic too but I think the better way he could have done this whole thing and he should have been doing it this way the whole time I don't get why hasn't why he's got advisors and we talked about it before

28:22 Pull up those old clips of Nancy and Feinstein and everybody in between going on, and on, and on into pass about how we need a wall. And do what Ross Perot used to do it show examples right but In this case when you're declaring the emergency that has no bearing on the emergency Now I'm saying this should have been done months ago Anyway, MSNBC and this is a clip to keep an evergreen they did confirm the actual statistic of crime of illegal immigrants versus citizens. Julia before we let you go here as you and I were listening to this you report on the Department of Homeland Security there's nobody perhaps in our network who knows some of these facts and stats better than you there was a striking moment during that

29:08 news conference when the president got into a back-and-forth with the reporter about whether or not he believed his own administration's statistics when it came to issues of immigration and you've been listening. Yeah, so I've got a lot of these statistics right here So let's just look at what the reality is there It is true that more crimes are committed by non US citizens than by u.s. Citizens That data was all taken out of Texas That's one of the only states that actually breaks it down between immigrants and non-immigrants But that is in fact fact based on that. Oh, okay how inconvenient! That doesn't fit in with everything everyone's saying... How inconvenient? Thanks MSNBC we always appreciate your fact-checking well let's listen to how Democracy Now covers this thing because they hate it of course and I got a clip two clips but the one started with this rundown of Thursday budget vote

29:58 Both the House and Senate passed the measure Thursday that came out of the bipartisan conference committee earlier this week. The bill includes nearly $1.4 billion to build 55 miles of new border barriers out of steel, far less than the 5.7 billion dollars requested by President Trump Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell took to the Senate floor Thursday to announce President Trump's decision to sign the spending bill. As some had speculated and many Democrats feared, McConnell confirmed Trump's plan to declare a national emergency in an attempt to circumvent Congress for his $5.7 billion in border wall funding I've just had an opportunity speak with President Trump And he—I would say all my colleagues have indicated that he is prepared to sign the bill

30:43 He will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time. And I've indicated to him that i'm going to prepare, I'm gonna support the national emergency declaration So for all of my colleagues uh... The president will sign the bill We'll be voting on it shortly McConnell's vow of support— What happened to her? Did she choke? She choked right there. You heard it. Yeah. We'll sign the bill, we'll be voting on it shortly. McConnell's vow of support came despite reports that he warned Trump against the move saying it could split the Republican Party and prompt a resolution disapproving the emergency declaration Democrats quickly condemned the news this is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

31:30 Did I ever say that I was filing a legal challenge? You said Democrats would. I may, that's an option and we'll review our options but it is important to note when the President declares this emergency first of all its not an emergency what happening at the border its humanitarian challenge to us The president has tried to sell a bill of goods to America putting that aside just in terms of the president making end run around Congress Trump is set to speak this morning at 10 a.m if he declares a national emergency the consumer rights nonprofit Public Citizen has vowed legal action against him saying the move quote will constitute an outrageous abuse of power perhaps the most dangerous yet by the unstable and increasingly autocratic President Trump most dangerous yet Hmm, so they have this guy come on who runs his operation public or whatever it's called I

32:23 And I just think he tries to coin a new way of describing the wall. And this is part two, this is kind of interesting see if you can catch this. So explain what this national emergency resolution would do? Well we don't know and we're not going to know until the president acts but it seems as what he's gonna claim is that there is a national emergency at the border and that therefore he can move money around um...that has not been appropriated for the purposes of building the racist wall To in fact build the racist wall There is a legal structure in place for how to declare an emergency, and the president does have authority under other laws to move money around if in fact

33:00 In fact, there is a national emergency. We're going to sue again based on what he does but challenging the idea that there's an emergency and also challenging whether the way he's moving money is legal under the statutes that exist But the real big issue will be whether people turn out in droves to protest this Not only do we not want a wall, but we don't want the president declaring emergencies to get around the will of Congress. If this president is able to declare an emergency To build a wall around a fictitious claim of urgency against the express interest of the con- express intent of Congress There's really no limit to what he might do in the future with an emergency declaration So if you're white

33:45 And you climb the wall, it's okay because the wall is on your side. Yeah it was a racist wall. He should have stuck with that moniker because he dropped it a couple of times. Three times and then he stopped. That's different You know what Nancy Pelosi has done and she's trying to follow with this meme of somehow hey we're number one in the constitution It's all about us first and only we can appropriate the money And she sent around a spreadsheet with about 400 different entries of pieces of money that will no longer go to, of course funding our men and women who fight so bravely for us. You know like some maintenance issue for the F-35 which I don't think is in full service. Yeah it's like some of that's being used and

34:33 Yeah, so they're trying to... this is not a winning strategy. I don't think people care about it this way like oh well we were supposed to go to one screw in the joint strike fighter! So yeah, I think she just gave it up and lost let it go Well I have one last clip which segues into something else unless you want to talk more about this? No, I have one funny clip from Menendez Senator Bob Menendez, a Democrat from New Jersey. He seemed to when this came down he was being interviewed and he just went off his rocker! The deputy director of ICE says a cap on beds in his words would be quote extremely damaging to the public safety of this country how do you respond? The reason that they are already eighth

35:23 thousand over their budgeted amounts, so they're violating the budget is because of the president's zero tolerance policy that has turned everyone regardless of their record into a criminal. For example if you cross the border undocumented he has now made you a criminal uh... he is creating that problem by turning people away who legitimately seek asylum if a person has a driving while under the influence violation he is now making that saying that that's eight criminal what we have seen and that's just outrageous these are not the norms that we stand for in the past under for example president obama

36:05 Yeah, he's saying... So DUI is not a criminal? Is that what he says? He said if you're illegally here and you get caught while driving under the influence now your criminal. He's making you a criminal! Orange man bad What am I gonna do?! That's what he's saying. It's jaw-dropping CNN, this is a senator from New Jersey All right.

36:46 on the show once in a while and I thought that would be a good time to do this because it crops up on a PBS report about The Wall with the Alcindor woman, the one who replaced, kind of replaced Eiffel although she doesn't have the chops. Her name is Alcindor? That's her name? Yeah, something... yeah, Misha. Because it almost sounds like a think tank when you say The Alcindor Woman and like what think tank is that? That's just her name okay got it So, this is the huge play. This is Wall Money Acts PBS I could do the wall over a longer period of time. I didn't need to do this but I'd rather do it much faster We had certain funds that are being used at the discretion of generals At the discretion of the military Some of them haven't been allocated yet and some of the generals think that this is more important

37:40 I was speaking to a couple of them. They think this is far more important than what they were going to use it for, and I said well what are you gonna use it for? And I won't go into details but didn't sound too important to me So Yamiche, hearing that where exactly is the president pulling this money from? Well the president is saying that I know best how to use these military funds to keep Americans safe. So I want to walk you through where he's getting $8 billion dollars that he's going initially be using just to fund a wall on the southern border He's gonna be getting 1.375 billion dollars from the congressional deal that Congress passed this week to avert government shutdown. He's going to be getting $600 million from the Department of Treasury forfeiture fund, that money that it has gotten from seized and forfeit assets. He is also going to get 2.5 billion dollars from the Department of Defense counter drug activities, that is drug shizermarney

38:29 He's also going to be using $3.6 billion from military construction money, and that's defense fund money that is also from the Department of Defense And all this is to fund an initial 234 miles of wall on the southern border The White House stressed today that this was just a beginning They could ask for more money? She said, she could ask for more money. Yeah I have the ISO of it if you want to hear it again just yeah. Could ask for more money? Oh geez! You know I heard Jordan Peterson the other day say anyways That's a professor! Well, I got onto this ax thing but it caught my attention because of what she said earlier so it perked me up when she said gotten. She's very unprofessional for at this level of broadcasting...I'm just gonna put it

39:20 I mean, no one wants to say anything about the woman because she's black. But she is unprofessional and she also is involved in all kinds of political stuff She has given speeches at a lot of rallies and things like that She shouldn't be out there like that at all but To give her the benefit of the doubt on Ax which I think is not a broadcast should accept the use of that word That way but it's legit What? Now, I have a long thing. This is three minutes but it's very educational This is the NPR lecture on Axe vs. Ask. Oh my god, okay hold on a second so several years ago we started identifying this popping up amongst white Millennials and it came from urban America let me axe you something yo bro let me ax you something mainly black but if they traveled all over but I would say really mainly urban

40:17 And, you know and of course that carried on to people in the mainstream like Jay-Z and a lot of the hip hoppers all say Axe. You hear it in award shows and then you see it on television...and now you're gonna tell me I guess it's okay? Well no wait! I'm not gonna say it's okay and I don't think it's okay in the broadcast sense that's for sure should not be on a news show but in fact It's okay about the word ask it's not uncommon to hear that word pronounced axe too many. That's a mispronunciation But can I just guess can I kind of just guess? I'm going to guess that you're guessing well, I'm gonna guess what this what this clip is about could this clip be about

41:04 The sad fact that many people are dyslexic and go untreated? No, no you're wrong. AXE has gotten a bad rap. If you say AXE, it's often assumed your poor, your black, your uneducated New York City's first African-American schools chancellor put the word on his list of speech demons to be eradicated It's the most noticeable term in African Americanisms That's Gerard McClendon education professor and author of... Axe or Ask? The African American Guide To Better English

41:43 McClendon says his parents taught him there's a time and place to use AXE because they were well aware of its stigma. When you're with your little friend, you can speak any way you want to speak alright? But the minute you get in a spelling bee or in a job interview switch it up quick I've taught my children how to do that as well If it happens four times...in a sentence Probably gonna get two axes mm-hmm two asks sketch comedy duo Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele joke that because they're mixed race They're constantly switching back and forth from axe to ask yeah When I want a cop comes up to you definitely You got four asks in that sentence. Yeah, you gotta go for it on the way officer ask away Whatever you want to ask me? I'm more than happy to answer officer

42:25 Is that the only question you wanted to ask us? I'm Jesse Scheidlauer. I am the president of the American Dialect Society. I believe i'm here to talk about the historical pronunciation of axe for ask. Scheidlauer says, axe has been used since the 8th century and derives from the old English verb axion The people who use the axe pronunciation are using the pronunciation that has been handed down in an unbroken form for 1,000 years It is not a new thing it's not a mistake It is a regular feature of English. Chaucer used axe it's in the first complete English translation of the Bible, The Coverdale Bible. Axe and it shall be given so at that point it wasn't the mark of people who weren't highly educated or people who were on the working class That Stanford linguist John Rickford says it's hard to pinpoint why ax stopped being popular but stayed put in the American South and the Caribbean where he's originally from over time

43:20 became a kind of mark of identity. Indians in South Africa use axe, black Caribbeans use axe African-Americans use axe Rickford says it's the empire striking back taking language that has been imposed and making it your own I don't think any linguist at least is advocating that you get rid of your vernacular because you need it in a sense for your soul. Rickford says there's nothing technically wrong with AXE but he adds linguistic versatility is ideal, interchanging axe and ask depending on the setting code switching he says few know about axes Chaucerian roots so take Key and Peele's advice

44:02 when getting pulled over. Ask away officer, ask away! Whatever you want to ask me I'm more than happy to answer Officer Shereen Marisol Miragi NPR News hmm well this is interesting yes the black urban experience apparently is Chaucerian Chaucerian? From Chaucer that's where he used X all the time Hmm well so what this does is it says that old old Old uses of words are old use yield use of words Are can be considered valid yeah, so if I can say hey? That's gay

44:46 Then that will be okay, because I just mean it's happy and funny and etc. If it was happy and funny if it was happy and funny I don't know about this man And by the way The white though so there's an interesting example because while you may have a black Driver say ask away officer and then maybe accidentally say anything else you want to axe The white driver would say, ah yes anything you want Ossifer? See they have their own issues. White guys say Ossifer when they... Well this brings me to the islands since it came up by the way that was good John I'm still gonna say ask if you don't mind and i will still chastise anyone for saying axe. That's reasonable. It certainly in broadcast let's put it that way

45:39 That's the woke way. We had this clip of April Ryan and Don Lemon arguing about the blackness of Kamala Harris, it's back to Kamala I guess Oh, Kamala. Kamali. Kamala. You say Kamala I say Kamala Now as you know i've stated it's fine she's brown she's black whatever but she's not african-american because although she was born here she was raised in Ottawa her father is from Jamaica her mother is from India She's a Tamil

46:15 So, you know she really does not have African-American blood in her and this big and Don Lemon takes my side of the argument. Oddly enough April Ryan trips out about it and starts to bring in all kinds of stuff about Jamaican slavery a review of that clip Let me finish, hold on. I'm not falling into a trap by that when she goes down her lineage many Africans landed in Jamaica and all these other Caribbean islands so she could indeed be African American mixed with others but she is different. But she is a black woman. She was born here. Okay well let's go onto Ted Cruz Now first I got a note from Sir Johnny B who says excuse me

47:00 The history of slavery and oppression is just as long in Jamaica, and bloody as it is the US. After the populace rose up and claimed independence that people are kept down by leaders who were in bed with economic hitmen. F Don Lemon hardship is right on the flag in Jamaica Gold recalls the shining sun, black reflects hardships and green represents the land. The flag colors are gold green and black the Rastafarian flag adds red for the bloodshed." This guy is an ignorant a-hole! And while that's true wasn't really on topic until I received this just this morning it is a chapter...it may be the whole...may just be an essay? I don't know if was a...I think it's from a book

47:45 The title of the book is Reflections of a Jamaican Father. Does this remind you anything? Yeah, it sounds like Obama's book. Yes, Reflections of a Jamaican Father by Donald J Harris This is Kamala's dad Now if we were on a mainstream news program this might actually be some pretty big news what I'm going to read to you Do not expect to hear this anywhere but here! I will read only two paragraphs As a child growing up in Jamaica, I often heard it said by my parents and family and friends, Mamba we are come from. To this day, I continue to retain the deep social awareness and strong sense of identity which that grassroots Jamaican philosophy fed in me as a father. I naturally sought to develop the same sensibilities in my two daughters born and bred in America. Kamala was the first in line to have it planted Maya came 2 years later than at the advantage of an older sibling as a mentor

48:43 It is for them to say truthfully now, not me what if anything of value they carried from that early experience into adulthood. My one big regret is that they did not come to know very well the two most influential women in my life Miss Krishi and Miss Iris My roots, you see go back within my lifetime to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrissy, nay Christiana Brown. Descendant of Hamilton Brown who was on record as a plantation and slave owner and founder of Brownstown her great-grandmother was a slave owner What? Kamala Harris's great-grandmother Was a slave owner and plantation owner in Jamaica and the founder of Brownstown

49:34 She, her roots are slave holders. This is good! I'd give you a clip of the day but there's no clip. There's no clip baby. How fantastic is this? Oh that's fantastic-fantastic And there's even a picture...a picture of her and there's a picture of um uh her with her with a grandma Kamala with Grandma Iris They should be rousting Kamala from Hamilton if she ever shows up for a presentation Get out! It's in the show notes. Oh, wait a minute actually I should make sure I don't have that oh yeah i gotta change one thing there...I don't want the email address exposed where I got it from obviously but yeah there you go Kamala Harris great-granddaughter of slave owners in Jamaica

50:32 Well, that kind of summarizes... That'll come up. It will not! Oh $1 bet right now this will not become a thing no one will ever hear about it after this mention I'll take you i'll make that a ten dollar bet That's that's a little beyond my means we're trying to buy a house let's do five I can go five. A crisp new one dollar bill though Don't you owe me one still? That you were gonna send me crisp one-dollar bill Yeah well that's in advance now Okay all right There you go. That was my big reveal for the day that was good funny It's not funny it's just great yes, well it's funny too because we'll see we'll see how I mean some of these people out there man did like Well you can hear this is Elizabeth Warren who was so

51:29 tone-deaf and colorblind to her situation that she doesn't even have an answer ready for a heckler. Now when you're doing a stump speech, and you're running for the president... Oh yeah there's these stock responses you're supposed to use! You know if someone was like hey why'd you lie about being Cherokee? You should have an answer. She doesn't! She thinks that everyone's vetted that come to these rallies and you know so yeah well here's a here's one example I don't know how well you can hear it but you'll get the general idea I thought what we do today, I'm just so glad you're here. I thought what we do today is that... What a school teacher! I thought what we did today... I thought what we do today, I'm just so glad you're here. I thought what we do today... Good point Is that I talk a little bit Just kind of introduce myself who i am A little bit of my story

52:27 We'll make this happen. Why'd you lie? It keeps yelling of course people surround the guy right away, but then she keeps going I absolutely promise okay be easy easy And then what we'll talk about is, we'll do policy and we will do as many questions as we possibly can. It's like talking to a group of kindergartners on career day No I think you nailed it! I've always wondered what is wrong with this woman

53:04 talks as if she's a school teacher introducing herself to a new class of fourth graders or fifth graders. Yeah, and then when they get uppity she goes be easy! Be easy? It's take it easy Liz! Be easy... jeez No, she's very much like a marm. A school marm. Now I have lots of questions later class! We're putting together my handicapping list and you know she is on the A-list but... Can you even use the term handicap for anything? Well if you can't for horses then you can't for any bedding phenomenon

53:46 It's one of those words, man. Yeah I'm not... no. We're good! It's okay! And notice it's weak. How about she say get that idiot out of here? No, that would be too much like Trump. That would be wrong! We have norms in this country. Norms? Norms?! We have norms... Norm's sitting at the bar Yeah we got norms in this country. And no other gaffes that I found from any other people

54:28 Well, I've got a couple. I get the one clip that i wanted to get out of the way which is you know what's going on in Haiti right now it's not being much reported yeah of course I've been following it and even producers who track Haiti for us also have been kind of coming up empty-handed other than the main question what happened to the hundreds of millions of dollars the Clintons raised all the good stuff they did, all the people they put into government. The baseball making factory, the basket weaving factory, the new Clinton Hotel and Resort... What happened to all of that? Well this apparently they've come up with a scheme to marginalize those numbers because it seems as if Venezuela is now the bad guy

55:19 And they owe them $3 billion dollars. For more than a week, the island nation of Haiti has been rocked by street violence as protesters angry over soaring inflation and government corruption have demanded the ouster of President Jovenel Moise. Demonstrators have been blocking roads stoning emergency vehicles and destroying businesses The U.S. State Department has raised the travel warning to the country advising citizens not to travel there all non-emergency U.S personnel and their families to leave. Jacqueline Charles is the Caribbean correspondent for The Miami Herald, and she joins us now from Miami. Explain a little bit more about what these protests are about?

55:57 Well, these protests are basically about two issues corruption and the economic turmoil that is hitting Haiti currently Let's start with the issue of corruption Haitians today are saying that they are fed up with decades of government corruption And they are particularly pointing to a program. That was financed by Venezuela It was a discount oil program called Petro Caribe in which Haiti received oil at a discount price from Venezuela They didn't have to pay it back until over 25 years and they received it at a 1% interest rates. But that savings was supposed to be used for social programs to ameliorate the situation of the population in terms of health care, child care education you name it

56:39 the failing housing after the earthquake. Well, almost 10 years after that earthquake Haitians say they do not see where that money has been spent and today they owe...the country owes Venezuela almost two billion dollars and so for months we have seen Haitians on social media in the country demanding to know where is the money? Where is the petro-caribbean money? The inflation rate is 15 percent of the government's deficit is 89 point six million dollars and their local currency, the good is in a free fall against a strong US dollar. So today what we've seen is that for days now over a week they have had this country on lockdown no schools no businesses nothing is moving and so where is this going? What's gonna happen next that's what's uncertain unclear at this moment. It almost feels like hey let's get rid of all the crap while we can

57:36 It's like if anyone uncovers, hey Hill. Yeah Bill? If anyone really finds out what went on in Haiti and what we really did there it's gonna be bad so maybe we should just Venezuela thing can we blame something on Venezuela I get the same sense but that is like an economic hitman thing where somebody has schemed this whole thing because i never heard any of this And the next thing you know, and now apparently there are... The second half of this report is only a little bit of the whole thing. And this guy who does the Saturday PBS news hour, Harry Srinivasan

58:16 is really the best guy they have and they should, they pushed him out of their regular weekly show so they could have pretty much a bunch of amateurs in there. And this guy's really very professional character and I like his Saturday show a lot better than during the week it's only half hour or two to news hours are half hour and he does much more in-depth stuff, and just comes up with things I've never heard of. But they go on with this and they have some people that live there saying, I can't even get out my house or I'm afraid we're gonna get shot! Who's implicated in some of this corruption? Is the president now on the hook for some of the corruption that happened perhaps even in the administration before him. Well yes, this president here he was brought into power under the banner of PHTK that is a party of former President Michel Matelli and his party has very well

59:10 implicated in this corruption, as well as people who are among the advisors to the president. Even the president's former chief of staff—the president himself has been named in a report—an initial report that was issued by the government auditors in terms of his company having received some of this funding from Venezuela But I have to tell you, there are real frustrations and anger in Haiti. Especially by the young people. And when I say young, I'm talking about individuals in their 20s 30s and 40s who today see no hope they see no way out They increasingly not believing in the ballot box and so there's a huge apathy when it comes to elections. And so you've seen this, that even the woman on the street is selling charcoal every time something goes wrong she saying, You know what? It's because of Petro Caribe but the unfortunate reality is today that prices have gone up There is a brewing humanitarian crisis hospitals are not having supplies they need and once this all over The question is even if President Jovenel Moise doesn't leave

1:00:09 Will he be able to govern and if he does go what is the plan of the opposition? We have not heard anything from them in terms of how they are going to alleviate The fundamental issue which is the economic crisis that the Haitian population is enduring right now This is the so it's almost a replay If you recall Haiti had a very odd earthquake, which only really affected Haiti nothing attached to Haiti It was very shallow and immediately the Clintons were in there everywhere building stuff, bringing in their buddies with cellular networks for micro payments creating this whole deep water port for cruise ships. It's almost like a replay it's like we got all kinds of stuff going on it's gonna be horrible we come in we start to fix it

1:01:00 Here's a clip from 2015. It is one of the more recent ones we have about the Clinton Foundation and Haiti. More than $10 billion was donated internationally to help rebuild Haiti, but much of that money is gone. Oh maybe this is the problem... Only 900 homes were built! And they were not even built in the vicinity where the earthquake took place They all lived in the northern part of the country so much inconsistency, so much irregularity. As I'm talking to you right now there are a hundred thousand people in tents in Port-au-Prince. But in Harlem people raised their voices to call attention to the missing money. This protest outside of the offices at The Clinton Foundation which helped lead the reconstruction fund These people they are still in very difficult conditions still living on the tents while Bill Clinton and his cronies

1:01:51 They waste this money. The foundation says progress is being made, particularly in Haiti's economic and tourist industries but many Haitian-Americans say contracts were awarded to non-Haitian companies the capital's main hospital is still not fixed and cholera is on the rise. The threat of the expansion of cholera is something that people live with on a daily basis. The suffering in Haiti continuing to dominate the conversation five years later Yeah, I'm gonna do this week before the net before Thursday. I'm gonna get together cuz if so this used to be my beat We studied Haiti very intently and it was years before the mainstream really did anything about it all It's like earthquake bad move on then we had been with sweet Mickey Martelli come in which is the Clinton stooge And then he got kicked out and they kept trying to bring other people in to become president

1:02:43 And there was $10 billion raised, which clearly did not go into the economy. No it disappeared like they said in that report in 2015 Yeah yeah I really don't know much else other than it sounds exactly just like a repeat of what was going on then That's actually if you look at the videos it looks a lot worse. Yeah, well I promise to have Some some older clips so maybe we can start piecing this together by Thursday But now I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in cholera John C

1:03:26 And in the morning to you, best friend of a curry. In the morning all ships and sea boots on their feet near some's no order dibs nice of them.

They used our clips they used our bell they used our jingles they use a lot of our format wasn't a competitor. It was flattery. It was flattery. It was compared with the way Henry's hamburgers were to McDonald's And we're McDonald's now in that case? Yeah. I don't know if i like your analogy... I don't know, take the money and run! This show has become invaluable to my life so my tax return is helping me give back. Alright. Is that a bird going off that I'm hearing? I don't hear anything. You have helped my sanity and this super polarized always political culture additionally the crackpot theories oh it's birds outside my window

I recently read Dr Ted's book and Confessions of an Economic Hitman good those are two good books to read With those insights, I'm interested in what comes of the yellow vests and the Ebola in DRC.

We track that stuff for you Jobs jobs and jobs He was asking you anything he was just making a rhetorical Comment that he is interested in what happens right? And I was just saying I don't have any answers Yeah, but he wasn't asking. Okay I'm sorry. Sorry for stepping out of bounds and by the way... I know but it sounds like you were lamenting the fact that you couldn't answer his questions. No! He asked me a question? I thought he axed a question Oh yeah did you thought he axed? Axed a question no Gretchen Wittig

1:09:13 333 we should use axe. ITM gents please dedouche me.

No no no

1:12:49 No, no, no. What? Listen... You're in my house drinking the booze! No, no, no. Okay, we've got Hernandez here and I'm looking at the email Jacob Hernandez in Kennewick Washington 218. I see no email from Hernandez regarding this donation so if you have something... And I do have a couple make goods to read in the second readings. Alexander... Oh anyways 218 from Kennewick Washington. Alexander Sulzberger 218 in Delaware or he's in Deutschland

1:13:43 Oh, no. This is our German producer from Ghana and who did send something in I may have printed it out Let's see if i have a list of printouts Of course those seem to have disappeared so I will go to the email appropriately souls burger We're going to the Squirrel Mail, people. Step back! Squirrel Mail in da house! When you need to find an email for a donation... Squirrel Mail has axed the quest! Hold on! You gotta wait for this, we gotta wait for this He's gonna find it! Will he find it? Will he find the donation email?! He may find it in his... ITM crackpot and buzzkill

1:14:40 After the recent email reply from John I need to take this 218 promo producership offer in the newsletter. He becomes an executive producer We did have a special offer for anyone who donated $218 to become executive producers in this show This offer ends tonight or tomorrow night tomorrow night no it ends at 19th sorry Tuesday night Offering a newsletter and to ask for a de douching of Okay. You've been de-douche'd! That's spent too long since I last donated and now you have a reason for this, I want to interject myself and say the reason he hasn't donate is because one of our Libjo buddies Greg had gone to Africa

1:15:30 I'm told this is a night here Alexander is. He's telling me, why are you donating to the no agenda show? Wait a minute! They had met each other at one of our meetings... Yeah they're my friends, the Libjo. Alright let's just back this up he was in Africa And he met you one of your Lib Joe journalists there was the lib Joe on vacation. Was he on assignment? I live Joe's an African Africanologist, oh He's all after he goes to Africa all the time. He's married to an African woman Oh, I know two guys like this and they go to Africa all the time and again brings art back. He's got a house full of probably a million dollars worth of African art

1:16:16 That New York Times does pays pretty well, I guess. He was never in the New York Times he's a professor he was going to go to the New York Times but his other the other lib Joe Powell I think personally this is just a guess I'm not gonna accuse anybody I think he killed he crude deal He undermined him? He backdoored and undermined him. This is my guess, well anyway but it serves him right because he goes to Africa and tells this guy not to donate to the show so he does it for a year then now he needs a deducing because he's back on board okay anyways I'll continue from there right It's been long since I've donated so long since also I asked for karma from my new born human resource Nadine who was born on February 12th

1:17:07 So we'll give her some karma. John, say hi to the mutual Libjo friend and university professor! I will. Adam congratulations on your upcoming marriage may the third time be the charm Thanks. You do not say that! That's not a nice thing to say, but thanks anyway! Hey go for fives! No! Guys no homo Mr DSC well he is one of your old listeners so that probably uh is appropriate then Uh he's our German producer in Ghana Ghana Jawohl Danke Alexander So give some uh Karma right?

1:17:49 You gave him the de-douching so give a little karma to the newborn. There you go, newborn karma! You've got... Karma Anyway Luckily none of these guys listen to the show except Soulsburg. The Lib Joes? The Lib Joes! They can't take it. Phone would be ringing off your hook. The Harris story that you brought up, just a quote from the book... That it would blow anyone's brains out. We had a number of people that took the 218 offer including subode and Jacob and Alexander, and now Jonathan Greenlee $218 these were all be promoted to Executive producer. That's right That was your special one you know I have to say and I understand why but I kind of miss your funny funny pictures

1:18:45 Well, here's... I'm gonna have to cut the funny pictures down to next-to-nothing. That's why only ran one humorous photo. The funny pictures at the end of the newsletter are largely responsible for the newsletter being sent to spam. Yeah, I was afraid of that. That's too bad isn't it? Thanks Google! We should really just have a rule. You want to subscribe to the newsletter, you just can't do it with the Gmail address." Well if I do the stats on it, about 75%-80% of all of the No Agenda listeners have a Gmail address. Which is why you probably shouldn't listen to my advice in the meeting. Alright back to Jonathan Greenlee 218. Drunk donation jingles Reverend Manning

1:23:49 A map of our 1111 super karma geocoin? Oh yeah! Holy crap, this thing has traveled like what a hundred thousand miles. No not 100,000. It keeps going people grab it and then they go to Europe or they go to Africa I put it in the show notes so this geo coin has gone from America to South America to Vietnam Indonesia Japan looks like India is on there, different Scandinavia... Some spook got a hold of it. It's now off the coast of Venezuela! Well the spook apparently came from...it looks like Scandinavia and the spook that took it down to Venezuela so in Venezuela maybe

1:24:41 It's an economic hitman type deal where they just keep, hey follow the coin. Could be the coin could now be part of some code. We gotta keep our eye on this you can find that thing with geocaching com I'll put it in the show notes, but again Thank you for supporting the show as you can see it can be done in many different ways And we'll be thanking more people $50 and above in our second segment and remember we have another show coming up on Thursday For you you can support the work at vorac org Slash n a what we call This is a formula we like you to go out there and propagate it our formula is this

1:25:17 We go out, we hit people in the mouth. I've been looking at this 5G stuff. Yeah... number of different ways that my looking at the 5g Just trying to track whatever's going on whatever developments and it's you know It's very under documented in general and people really don't understand much

1:25:54 About what's happening and so there's a lot of PR, you can call it promotion. You can call it misinformation disinformation A lot of different things but there is one of our producers caught this huge native advertising compendium on TheHill.com What is the hill? Is that political, the hill? Yeah. It's the hills referring to the hill. Right but are they right leaning left leaning what are they there? They're slightly left wing but not like the WAPO or Politico. They're a little more centrist well they have created probably 25 different video

1:26:41 I can almost call them little shows because some of them are 10 minutes, some of them are an hour. And it's... They created these or were these native advertising? No, it was native advertising and its sponsored- no presented by Qualcomm! It's all about 5G. Oh yes, the chipmaker. Well Qualcomm ARE the guys they're you know there the big guys. They're 5g. They truly are getting 5G out there so they paid the hill to have all kinds of fun, cutesy little videos and I'm just gonna play two of them but i think i may have to bring out more in the future that's just that good. And you'll hear at the very end of this first clip

1:27:20 with the Pittsburgh mayor and he's trying to explain what smart cities are and what 5G... I know, haven't you won? What does it mean to you John? 5g will bring us smart cities. It means to me a smart city the way i see it especially let's look at San Francisco is that when you're some homeless person on the street and you're gonna take a dump on the sidewalk, the 5G system will see that and open up a hole where this dump can go into. And then it'll close it up after your done. You know? It could be done with 5g! Its such a great technology its totally could happen. You hear at the end, you hear the host, the so-called interviewer

1:28:05 Well, I want to get your opinion on but i've done. I've done my fair share of bullcrap videos where you're asking someone a question It's a paid environment You're paid to ask the question he's paid to answer the question whether he's the mayor or not He has something to say and it's just you just asking the question for form Now it's not you know having a conversation And after you great great take that was great fantastic good job mayor So you'll hear that at the end of this just to accentuate how far for safety? Yeah One more for safety everybody. That's just for us! So here is the Pittsburgh mayor citing the need to be inclusive when

1:28:41 when considering 5G smart cities, which takes your idea to a whole next level. What does it mean to be a smart city in modern terms? A lot of different definitions for it first part is smart as being inclusive and understanding that if we're only mining the data for some that were creating larger digital divide I like how... what?! Oh yeah! If you're only mining the data for a few why are you mining my data at all!? And then comes us to your point Okay, we have some data on this guy. He's been pooping every day at 8 o 5 a.m.. Right in this spot That's where we had to gotta have the hole open up

1:29:18 So, smart cities and this mayor who is on board with the program whatever incentive he's receiving. He's going to get a smart city. To him it's like we're gonna be data mining everybody. We'll know exactly what everyone is doing is great! In understanding that if we're only mining the data for some that were creating larger digital divide The second is not allowing... Hold on a second Stop it again I'm obviously not gonna get through this thing It's only 24 seconds, that's the best part. So let me get this straight. So what he's saying is that somehow because somebody's data mind and somebody else isn't data mind, this is creating a larger digital divide now digital divide as I understand it Is the fact that some people have better access and more computing power And we even have home computing and all kinds of things that others don't have because they can't afford it or whatever well there's minorities are usually just which even though they all have smartphones It's not the same

1:30:18 What's that got to do it? What does it got to do with data mining anybody well I think you can interpret what he's saying in a different manner where he's saying if we're only data mining for the benefit of Privileged people benefit. Yeah, he didn't see doesn't say it. He doesn't get a mind to spy on ya wants to benefit someone somewhere. He's just talking because he just wants it. Whatever it is, he wants Qualcomm to give it to him cheap.

1:31:11 It's a system of systems. A system... it's a system of systems! So, I- What did he say? Well- Is the system, System? It's a system of systems. It's a system of systems Yeah, He clearly knows what he is talking about Oh brother And so I do like that 5G it just granted as a given its for data mining Hey but I want to make sure not just commercial companies get to spy on what you're doing I don't want that to happen. The government needs that too! Different industries to silo or harvest the data simply for their own profits but for the greater good and the third is understand it's a system of systems all that information has a way to be able to helpful in solving problems if you're able to pull it together and then be able to have some really creative people outside of government and inside of government looking at ways to be able utilize it Great

1:32:04 Hear that little thing great not great. Great job. Great take it's great. It's great. Great take man Good good work mayor, so now again this is This is all sponsored by Qualcomm So the end the questions and answers behoove them and I don't blame the mayor for being a shill as what mayors do But clearly this is all about Surveillance, surveillance for profit and yeah maybe we'll get some benefit out of understanding traffic flows but now the second clip I have is an old friend of ours more viewers than mine. You have to wonder where do the tech journalists go when they can't eat?

1:32:47 Where do they go when they can't eat? They become podcasters. Well, some become podcasters and others will sell out to take their technology... Chops. Chops. Credibility is the word I was looking for. Okay. Credibility And then we'll sell out to basically just the highest bidder although this was probably pretty low Do you remember Sarah Lacy Oh, she's in here? Sarah Lacey! Yeah now tell us about the- where was Sarah Lacey? Was she on Twitter or where was she? She had a different show. No but she has been around I mean i had her on my Cranky Geek Show a few times. She is a uh...

1:33:28 She's written a couple books. She's kind of become an uber feminist and she is, uh... she was at Businessweek and then she became with Independent. She did Pando Daily for years. Ah! Pando Daily yes. Right? She had Mark Ames and Paul Carr two tremendously talented guys And didn't she wind up with Paul Carr isn't she with him now or did she dump him already I don't know, I don't keep up with that. But let me just say that she...I don't know what happened but she was so uh.. She was funded by a lot of VCs and she's been kind of hanging out with them and she moved on to something called Chairman Mom And now some woman Well this is her side hustle because this is from January 9th I didn't know anything about that she was doing this Side hustle! Side hustle! It's- I call her a techtitute

1:34:23 Well, she shouldn't do this. She's a tech toot of the highest order virtual reality and augmented Reality are two things that virtually everyone seems to agree are futuristic Fascinating and just really cool at the same time AR and VR haven't really gone mainstream despite all of the excitement in demand so far So far both AR and VR have been held back for a lack of accessibility, viability and capacity. With 5G we finally have the technology to capitalize on the full potential of AR & VR for everyone! If you're a sports fan, 5G is going to empower some game-changing shifts. 5G enabled remote production will make it possible to broadcast from anywhere without a satellite truck or supporting onsite team. Not a sports

1:35:07 Yeah! It's not about pressing the button, ladies and gentlemen. It's about being the button! I am the button! Thank you, Tectitude Sara Lacy Without you i wouldn't have known. I too can be the button or is it but-ten? Button She said button But-ten I don't think she said butten No, but it should be button

1:35:57 Well sad in it. It's I feel bad about this, I have to say though sure presentation was very professional So there's nothing wrong with the way she did it No, but if you're gonna do that kind of thing you must just do that and nothing else yeah? I'm thinking she probably didn't even get paid enough for it. I mean that that's really putting your credibility on the line You know I would guess Oh, by the way if you ask me in a heartbeat... In a heartbeat I'd be like hey 5G baby! Woohoo! I would guess she got it. I would say that you shouldn't do anything like that for less than $10,000 and i'm guessing She got five Yeah That's what I think she probably got five She got five Here's a promotional idea was just thinking You know for 5g you could have an actual foam hand

1:36:53 And then watch it melt? No, 1 2 3 4 5. Five fingers five big five. Yeah that's good. Foam five finger 5G Yeah, 5G. But yeah... Anyway it does seem that there's a you know this is some issues with the FCC It's about you know they've really tried to ramrod this down or really rammed us down the throats of all the municipalities and You know that the mayors are like you guys you're forced to do this you have to give them let them put it up put up those little transmitters

1:37:31 And you know the timeline it's just it's being ramrodded. It really is but I'm not necessarily against it Because I think it is the only with the only thing left for us to grow and I don't see any other Oh shit, where I had that the president mentioned this yes No, we're based on as something that you and I've been talking about Kind of on the sideline over the course of a couple weeks about this idea of growth And really the struggle right now is for the Western financial world to find where can we grow? Where can we make it happen. I think climate change was the initial idea and that's where all the money would go, print money really, to grow economies and grow sectors. The dot-com bubble was a version of that Y2K if you go back What have we had outside of climate change

1:38:28 What other initiatives have we had? I don't know. I think you summarized most of them, but 5G seems to be the big one now it's it encompasses everything It's bullshit But at least what is his hiccuping and its bleeding and global warming is still in play And you can't have too many these things going on at the same time. I have a piece from that Rose Garden speech from Trump where he specifically talks about the growth and how he's got to get to that. And I just want to add it as a one-minute data point for us. Let me also ask you about the debt, sir because it's gone from a shade under 20 trillion from when you took office now It's a shade over 22 trillion and heading in the wrong direction What are your plans to reverse? Well, it's all about growth but before we focus on that...and you have to remember President Obama

1:39:20 put on more debt in this country than every president in the history of our country combined. So when I took over, we had one man that put on more debt than every other president combined combine them all So you can't be talking about that, but I talk about it because I consider it very important But first I have to straighten out the military The military was depleted and if we don't have a strong military that hopefully we won't have to use Because it's strong. If we don't have a strong military You don't have to worry about debt you have bigger problems so I had a straight man's apartment you get plenty of money

1:39:56 What did you say? Audit the Defense Department. You'll get plenty of money. Yeah, but we're talking about growth here If we don't have a strong military, you don't have to worry about debt. You have bigger problems So I had to straighten out the military That's why I did the $700 and 716 billion But growth will straighten it out. You saw last month now listen to what he's saying because he comes across as an idiot I'm trying to read into the words, I think I'm hearing something different than what you just heard cuz yours yeah audit the Pentagon He's talking about he's I think what he's saying is I'm pumping this money in and that will create growth through I guess The war sector that's when I'm hearing him say

1:40:38 You know, it's like I did this. I did that for growth. It's an old belief of Marxists in fact that the way you stabilize an economy is to do a war economy and then everyone has to go to work because most things that your manufacturing are getting exploded Yes And if we don't have a strong military that hopefully we won't have to use because it's strong. If we don't have a strong military, you don't have to worry about debt. You have bigger problems. So I had to straighten out the military. That's why did the seven hundred and seven sixteen billion but growth will straighten out. You saw last month the trade deficit went way down. Everybody said what happened? Well what's happening is growth. But before I can focus too much on that

1:41:21 A very big expense is military, and we have no choice but to straighten out our military. Is growth the only answer sir? Yes ma'am go ahead. Growth I don't know it's a data point we gotta just listen for it coming up in the future what does he think growth is it is it the war economy because he's on path then he is a part of the let's-go get Iran bullshit that's happening right now Maybe he is. Could be, wouldn't surprise me what's Bolton doing in the White House? Well I think he's there because he has the goods on Trump about all their weird sex stuff they did together but maybe Trump wants the neocons in it'd be very disappointing

1:42:04 Yeah, yeah. Well it was the same thing with Obama don't you remember when Obama ran? It was two things we're gonna get out of Iraq immediately and the first thing I could do is take it to the bank were going shut down Gitmo. He did neither one of those things! You get in office and find out that your not running the place. Turns out the other guys are. They're all set up but the whole thing's just a facade and they want to get rid of Trump because he Seems to be playing not to he doesn't play the game. They want him to play no so the whole thing is pathetic well, let's switch another pathetic piece of news I Although I find this quite amusing and this was played up quite nicely on The NewsHour with Shrina Vossen

1:43:00 Cardinal kicked part one. I'm glad you got these After decades of investigations and charges Pope Francis expelled former cardinal and Archbishop of Washington DC Theodore McCarrick from the Catholic priesthood today The Vatican announced that an internal investigation found McCarrick guilty of soliciting for sex while hearing confession and sexual crimes involving minors and adults quote with the aggravating factor up the abuse a power Wow, so listening during confession. This is the thing that got me I'm listening to this object what and so I'm trying to imagine how this goes Am I confessing first of all? I think he probably didn't I think you probably found men who came in and said hey forgive me father for our Senate had sex with a man blah blah blah And then he would the priest at this where he's hearing confession. He'd say really

1:43:58 Was it one time? Tell me how it works. Maybe you should show me how it works, I'm interested in this." Now but this was also underage children? Everything they brought... How can that...? Here's what I don't understand we throw people in jail for everything! How do these a-holes walk around I have no idea. And this is the first cardinal that's been booted from the church, I think in 200 years it has never gotten to...no one's ever gotten to Cardinal! This is the highest right under just second to Pope and so they get as far as he did and meanwhile soliciting people in a confessional booth

1:44:40 It's like, you know it this is like the guys I'm reminded of the guys. Like a crooked cop man! It's like that. No it was conversion therapy guys. There ya go. The number of conversion therapy evangelicals and there has been many evangelicals who were gay and they're just closeted or they were gay and they would do conversion therapies well your you know you can have to show me how this works I could use a lesson here. Let me, can you do that on me and see what happens? I want to see what the response...I mean, I can't imagine the kind of games that are played but it's obviously it's a road to a come-on and I just found it to be hilarious that this was going on." I find it so disturbing!

1:45:25 It's just very disturbing. I think it's hilarious, personally! But why aren't these people... Is it because of statute of limitations and that kind of...? There was plenty of that, yeah. Geez man. Alright part two? Police report were filed at the time and why would there be cause the guy is like you know All right, play part two. The 88-year old McCarrick is the highest ranking Catholic official to be defrocked or removed from the priesthood This follows decades of sex abuse scandals in the church Defrocking means that he can no longer celebrate mass or other sacraments A Vatican summit to discuss the global sexual abuse crisis is set to begin next Thursday Hmm... The global abuse crisis? These guys have NO standing I'm sorry Jeez

1:46:16 Anyway, I just found this to be it's interesting some reason you used to use to me who would bring these clips Yeah for years on the show. Listen to this Especially when the when the initial scandals were just starting to come to light and you actually got you said don't do it anymore Just stop no way didn't okay? All right Okay Maybe okay Let's say I did but I probably did because it was just kind of hollow It wasn't going anywhere. This is like coming to a head now and this is funnier! Your clips weren't funny, they were kind of pathetic But I don't find this to be very funny Well I think somebody in the confessional booth hearing somebody's confessing about some sex act and then coming on to them well that sounds pretty interesting...I'll give you- I'll tell you what I'll do a deal with ya You only have one Hail Mary instead of the 50 you deserve but you gotta show me how this works

1:47:06 Afterwards there will be a test That's right everybody Convergence of worlds my favorite topics dogs, and I love dogs and electric scooters. Yeah, Tim Jess Elaine Rosa's attorney told 23 ABC she is in the process of turning herself into Bakersfield police tonight after the district attorney's office filed charges of animal abuse and neglect against Rosa you may remember that viral video causing an uproar on social media that video showing Rosa dragging a dog behind a bird scooter

1:47:49 Rosa is now facing one felony and one misdemeanor charge which could land her in jail for up to three years, and a fine of $20,000. The video was captured by home surveillance cameras in downtown Bakersfield appearing to show Rosa dragging a small dog on a bird scooter. BBD says the dog wasn't actually hers and was returned to its rightful owner but it's unclear who actually owns the dog Rosa was a former employee of the Kern Valley State Prison as a contracted psychologist. Her contract was terminated just days after the video went viral." So, of course, a psychologist would do this. Yeah, shrink gone nuts! Have you seen this video? No I have not seen the video Oh my god The dog is just she's on a leash She's dragging the dog behind her The dog is not it's like on his side You know fur flying off It's just being dragged along

1:48:45 What is wrong with people? I don't know what's wrong with her. Yeah, well she's a psychologist maybe that's the issue. This is unreal! These scooters man they're bad for people and bad for dogs. Well on the other hand I'm not really glad about it because this These are the ring doorbells that people have been installing, which has a camera. It's watching everything? Yeah! So yeah of course it is beautiful for the intelligence services they can just flip on cameras everywhere look at a whole street they literally went from one to two to three there was three different videos that they put together for this video that apparently went viral

1:49:30 That's so sure wasn't somebody filming. It was just a dip yeah, really huh? Yeah who bought the didn't someone buy the ring doorbell company Wasn't it Google it would make sense wouldn't it let's see acquired Let's see if anyone has any info on its Amazon oops sorry 1 billion dollars hello of course Of course these spy companies man spies Spying on us well It's about to get a helluva lot better You know, we've discussed my credibility as in credit worthiness in the past. Credibility and credit worthiness are not even connected That's why I said credit worthiness to correct myself Okay My FICO score to be precise It skyrocketed!

1:50:25 Yeah. Now I came back to the US in 2005, I believe and what happened is that I got on the payroll of my own company and the IRS showed up at the company probably about a year later in San Francisco with their guns and said we've been looking for you Do you remember this? Did they have, I wasn't there. Did they have the guns pulled out? No they had a shotgun and both their handguns exposed... They were in uniform! They were IRS agent uniforms with handguns and a shotgun We've been looking for you Mr. Curry. I said Google? Didn't find that very funny

1:51:15 And what had happened was my accountant in the Netherlands, I'd paid taxes but had not filed them at all or properly or whatever it was for the nine years that I've been out of the country. More than that now whatever amount of time so i got a huge lien and it cost me a lot of money and lawyers fees and fines and all kinds of stuff and then my wages were garnished It was very...it was a harrowing ordeal And I think some of it is still on my record because like a tax lien stays on your record for godly nine years or something. And so when we were looking initially at buying, when I wanted to buy the Airstream of Consciousness it was very difficult for me to get any kind of financing because my FICO score was in the 600's

1:52:09 Because I was pretty much non-existent. When we started the show, I didn't even have a credit card as you can recall and that was quite proud of it using cash and debit card only Yeah heaven forbid you do that because then your not... You're useless citizen Exactly so i had to become a more useful citizen And I had to get a credit card and build up my credit and of course once they met Tina the Keeper who has you know a FICO score of I kid you not 860 That's what she's called Tina The Keeper Hell yeah You know, she's been like kicking my ass about making sure I pay bills on time. Only have three bills but okay. Paying bills on time and being a good citizen because we want to buy a house and now that we're together we can actually buy a house because it's the two of us so um So we were going through the process And you know she did it! She helped me up my FICO score. I am now 750

1:53:06 Oh, good for you. I'm very proud of myself but of course well i am because now we can hopefully get a mortgage and get on the property ladder on the lowest rung Yeah, there you go. Right now there are people who have problems with their FICO score Which is a complete commercial company that just made this score up to control you to control You into believing that this is how I cared There was no such thing To control you into believing that you are a good citizen as John just said and it is a total scam It is It is not much different than the Chinese social scoring system except the FICO score. If you actually check it, it hurts your score which is the best part of the whole system I love that But NBC has a report there's a brand new way now for you to fix your FICO score so you can be a better citizen

1:53:58 and get on the debt ladder yourself. For working mom Jacqueline Neary, may I speak with Ms Sanchez please? It's one sales cold call after another each number dialed a chance to not be defined by another number my credit score currently is at 511 I believe Neary blames that very poor credit score on student loans and nine-year old credit card debt from when her son was born i'm not that person you know who they're judging off of that negative credit score Credit agency Experian says nearly 100 million Americans suffer from poor credit, which is why the company's launching Experian Boost. A free program designed to raise scores immediately in exchange for access to your bank account utility bills even cell phone payments. You're asking people for their spending history and their bank accounts? This is great news everybody! Open up your stuff let them in you get an immediate boost In fact we branded it as Experian Boost

1:54:53 Pretty personal stuff. How safe is this to provide, information-wise? The consumer's always in control they decide when they provide that access and when they want to revoke that access. A demo led to an instant 21 point boost but critics see risks of some prime lending opportunism to make more money from more loans and privacy concerns So someone is going to make money off my data it won't be me but now that information exists for the world to see for it to be sold Experian promises encrypted records and to only sell this new information to its regular credit report clients. Adding anyone who leaves the program should expect to see their score drop

1:55:31 For Neary, a risk worth taking. A bet on a better future by letting a company peek at the present. What a piece of crap ad native ad that was and 20 points? She said her score was 540 so now it's 560. It's encouragement this is slavery it is sanctioned slavery uh the first question I'd have for Elizabeth Warren if I ever spoke with her is what happened to your credit consumer protection agency bureau This is, this is actual slavery. Oh you know if you leave the program If you don't let us watch what you do with your money You'll go down in your ratings It's slavery We need some smart state representatives to crack down on this stuff at the state level

1:56:26 Yeah, I The system it's like a big fix. You know the system is in everything runs on it people accept It that's that's the bigger problem people on the older days the banks would do their own research on you Yes, we just look at a number and decide to give you alone or not I mean what how hard is that which is exactly why? We went with the credit union for our mortgage yeah, no they they look at you and say hey if Why do you get money from Dvorak every two weeks?

2:05:40 Calling out Chris Kuroga and Robert Parkerson as douchebag. You know, we should probably mention that Eric had to do this spreadsheet something He's got you know he's guys running this school, and he had to go across the drive five hours or something to some Some event yeah with a bunch of kids. It's bad for the show but good for kids I guess who cares I care I care I care when we miss stuff.

2:06:24 Chris Lewinsky in Sherwood Park, Alberta.

Came in with a spreadsheet In the morning John and Adam We'll take a look at this at the PBDS on our time there's nothing we read for $50 dollars I'm finally... Here it is! We read everything?! We don't!! No, we read night nighting notes

2:07:30 We don't even do that necessarily. I like to when someone becomes a knight, I do like that and I believe this is the case with this let me double check yeah he becomes a knight today Okay So this is Nicholas Brown. I'm finally a knight as I write to inform you of my newly acquired status I cannot help but think back over the almost 10-year journey that I have made with with my two brothers from another mother I like many a night before me have learned of the no agenda show due to John's lovely plugs on twits also known As the show, I immediately deleted off my podcast list once John was fired. I think he left I don't think it was fired

2:08:14 And then he has a very, very long note which I don't think is that interesting for the show but he does want to be formally knighted as Sir How Now Brown... How now Browncow. Sir How now Browncow Knight Defender of Capitol Hill Drainer of the Swamp Castellan of the House Keeper of the Constitution First Of His Name And he requests Tito's and Tata's for the round table. So I will put those in there, that is a very long knight name my friend. Okay so we have a few make goods starting with Zuckel our knight from how do you spell that? Z-U... it is on the top of that list there, the note

Okay now here's the thing that Donovan says I'm going to read from his original note calling all cyber dudes and dudettes let's try to do this is nothing that has been it's not on the meetup side it's just something I don't know where how this is gonna go but I'm at least do this much Let's try to do a simultaneous meetup on Saturday 3-2 and get it grouped together in San Francisco at the same time as the Austin Meetup. This will be during the Cyber's conference, RSA conference in San Francisco. Details to follow on the meetups site there has been no details on the meetups site

2:15:04 Now what you gonna say? I don't think it's a good idea. Austin has finally we're doing our big Texas meetup, and I want California horning in on our glory Well, I can understand that yeah There's plenty of there's been plenty of meetups in California It's Texas his turn now come over here besides they really don't see that working very well so we're gonna get at laptop Hey everybody let's wave I'm sorry? What's the idea, we're doing simultaneous meetups and we're gonna wave at each other or just do a... There was no mention of any such thing. Okay well then what so okay they're trying to put together a meetup So what's the point is what you're asking Yeah! You can tell I'm irked about the donations John I'm irked about the donations today it really irked me that's all but nothing to do with you

2:16:01 It's just shoddy. I think we look... We're already pretty unprofessional in a lot of things, but i'd just like to get some of these things right the birthdays that kind of stuff you know it's just i'd like to get it right Well, I think grousing about it is not really making it any more professional All right onward let's go with the idiot mayor story okay Idiot Mayor PBS1. The race for the White House in 2020 is in full swing and 10 Democrats so far have declared their candidacy for the party's nomination with just four months to go before the first Democratic presidential debate In June Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend Indiana recently announced that he formed an exploratory committee

2:16:50 If he wins his party's nomination, he would be the first openly gay candidate of a major party to run for the White House. Mayor Buttigieg joins us now to discuss his book The Shortest Way Home and why he would be a good president Mayor Buttigieg, thank you very much for being with us. Thanks for having me So first obvious question why would a 37 year old mayor of a small city in the Midwestern part of the US be running for president? Well I believe we're in a moment that calls for something completely new and among other things I think it calls for voices from the industrial midwest A place that uh... in particular my party to its detriment largely ignored in past election cycles

2:17:33 I think it also calls for somebody from a newer generation. You know, as a millennial – I'm just old enough or just young enough to qualify as an older millennial – uh, I'm from the generation that For one thing, grew up experiencing school shootings as the norm. I was in high school when Columbine happened We are the generation that's going to be on the business end of climate change That's going to have to pick up the pieces Of the fiscal mess that will be made by current tax policy And economically we could be the first generation in American history To make less than our parents if nothing is done So I think those kinds of voices have been missing from the debate and it's time to step forward

2:18:11 non-traditional path compared to let's say being in the Congress, but as an executive with on the ground experience in government I would also argue that the more Congress starts looking or Washington starts looking like our best run cities and towns instead of the other way around. The better off we'll be She asked a question why would at 37 year old mayor for some bumfuck city in Indiana be running for president and I'm at, my jaws dropped during this whole thing wondering why is PBS NewsHour giving this guy they gave him 15 minutes. They're desperate for candidates

2:18:51 What? There's thousands of candidates. But they got to find someone who works, nothing... nobody works no one is good They're looking for anything they're filling time He's a 37 year old gay male from Indiana who nobody has heard of Ticks the boxes right there Midwest Gay Democrat Perfect And he's the only thing that I can see where they may be kind of like jacked up about this guy because he's so all in on climate change. That that's all he talks about and by the way, I think it's going to be a losing talking point for the Democrats. Climate change is not

2:19:33 Well, that's not true because everyone right now on the Democratic side is running on the Green New Deal. Does he mention the Green New Deal? He's an idiot if he doesn't use that! If he just says climate change then he's dumb Well, wait. You think he has a chance no matter what he mentions? No you're just saying that this climate change and no one cares I that's not true 70 all of the candidates who are running in the primary for the Democrats have all said oh we endorsed the Green New Deal so it is important to do that if you say green new deal

2:20:09 I don't know if he said, I can't remember if he said it or not. But let's play a little part two here. He's got some more stuff to say. It's only 37 seconds. You mentioned tax policy and that is one of the issues we are already hearing these early announced candidates talk about where do you put yourself? on the spectrum of the people who have expressed an interest in the Democratic nomination. There's Kamala Harris, there is everybody to Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders may get in. Start with tax policy where would you put yourself when it comes to taxing the wealthy? Well I think its pretty clear that there are people in America right now who are not paying their fair share The concentration of wealth has increased to a level that is almost incompatible with democracy, especially at the time when it feels like dollars can sometimes outvote people.

2:21:03 apparently found something in there that is a WTF moment. The mistake is believing that border security as simple as just putting up a wall from sea to shining sea and by the way I also think it's a mistake to believe that security in general, in the 21st century, is as simple as military and border security matters at a moment like this when twenty-first century threats from cybersecurity to climate security are demanding action, many especially the majority party in the Senate don't seem to show any interest in tackling that at all. You mean climate security? Yeah need action. Climate security baby yeah you do you want to be unsecure what does it mean I don't know didn't they ask a PBS no of course not

2:21:53 It's almost as though it was a native ad for this guy. But he is another guy on the list, there is part 4 which is 45 seconds if you want to... Yeah of course! Hopefully we can save this. We have done that and whether you agree or not If you were president for example you said climate change is a national emergency could you see yourself declaring an emergency over that. I may be the youngest person in the 2020 conversation, but i'm old enough to remember when conservatives and liberals alike were skeptical of presidential power grabs and the idea that he can assert additional power based on an emergency that's not a true emergency... To the extent there is a humanitarian crisis it's one of his own making because of the cruel policies being implemented at the border

2:22:40 something like climate, something that has the destructive power of perhaps a depression or world war that is much more real emergency is demanding our attention. The science is in! Science... Yeah you know this has to stop what these people are saying and but the science is backing off from this we're all gonna die in the climate I mean it's happening everywhere, we're identifying it. NASA is top global warming scientist we played her on the show backing away from it that the Austrian Meteorological Institute is also backing away from the consensus of climate change but the politicians are all in there pushing it so hard and abusing children

2:23:30 Euronews had this report this morning, it's very short. So there was another climate change rally This is an 11 year old girl and listen to... There are adults standing around her as this child is filled with fear and tragedy and emotion And cries about the climate killing us and these assholes are standing around her cheering her on Hi, my name is Iris and I'm 11. And... um... Um... I love our planet and don't want everything to stop! And if we do want everything stopped then well, we can write about it at the moment. And this isn't good. Very emotional! Great job!

2:24:24 They don't, do they not see the destruction? No. Of course not! I think it's great It's so...it's child abuse It's up there with these priests Just a different religion Jamaican...ahhh It's abusive So abusive Yep Anyway Alright well let's move on to uh...I have a Venezuela update Okay, on PBS. So it's a PBS report not Democracy Now! so it's gonna be pro the new guy Guaido? The US began using military transport planes today to deliver food medicine and supplies for Venezuelans to a border city in Colombia the airlift follows shipments using civilian aircraft and the U.S says more shipment are planned

2:25:17 Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro continues to block aid delivery, but opposition leader Juan Guaido who the US and many other countries recognize as President says on Monday he will announce plans to bring the supplies into Venezuela. Yeah I think actually have a follow-up to that Let me see where this clip is from. It's about exactly him doing this Venezuela's opposition leader and self-declared president Juan Guaido has promised to organize a brigades of volunteer This is your own news so very similar I guess to ensure international aid reaches the country's population Unless the Venezuelan army does the job itself The message to the armed forces of Venezuela he told supporters in Caracas

2:26:00 is that there are seven days for the humanitarian aid to come in, one week for them to do the right thing. We are authorizing the aid to enter." The United States has flown in food and medical supplies to neighboring Colombia but it's been blocked by the government of President Nicolas Maduro who sees the operation as a political maneuver designed to oust him from power. Have we seen anything on the Iran connection? Have they've been ramping that up at all? Not this, not in the last couple of days but I'm beginning to think the possibility. Tell them about this so we've been pretty good at rubalizing one country after another in that list of seven you know those countries have been ruined I mean Libya Syria's all beat to crap. Should we check the list? No no I don't want to check the listing and we know what they'll list it's just a bunch of countries were rubalized

2:26:59 And now is it possible that somebody's got it in their brain that, hey what happens if we rubble-ize some countries in South America? It's within our sphere of influence. It makes a lot more sense to do that there and steal the oil. We have this oil reserves in the world by the way off the coasts of Venezuela. What if we did it there? What would happen you think? I mean, I'm thinking from a neocons perspective they want to rebelize everything. I don't know maybe this is the test and so what we well how are you gonna hit? What's our excuse well Hamas and in Hezbollah right somehow it In Venezuela we gotta root them out. Well this is I have a collection of articles This is not the first time this connection has been made

2:27:50 Let me see this is September 8 2009 the link between Iran and Venezuela a crisis in the making. Iran and Venezuela embed together diplomatic ties go back almost 50 years, and they all tell these stories tie it to drugs we have drugs yep oh yeah here's Reuters When was this? Well that ploy didn't work. Excuse me, no. This is July 21st so it was 2009 July 21st Venezuela denies US drug report has bullet charges So this is not new

2:28:28 In fact, this is when Obama was just in so that's kind of interesting. This is Iran and its proxy Hezbollah strategic penetration... ...in Latin America. This probably else from 2009 let me see. Yep! 2009 Iran's goals in Latin America it's like get the drugs in so this was tried 10 years ago with the same link between Hezbollah, Venezuela and obviously Iran. They're bringing back some playbook but we haven't figured it out yet. Well it's not going to be pretty I don't think so either and what is the rhetoric on Iran?

2:29:15 Well, the latest thing is this clip I have which is the Iran news with Pence. Yeah, I got that too. Well they had the big Munich security conference? Yeah and I guess Pence is getting... is ramping things up. Let's see which... Iran News Yeah, I got it. Here we go. The time has come for our European partners to stop undermining US sanctions against this murderous revolutionary regime. Pence spoke after Merkel used her speech to defend the decision by Germany and other nations to remain in the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, saying it is a way to continue to exert pressure on Iran. The United Kingdom, Germany France Russia China and the European Union are still part of the agreement with Iran

2:30:18 Yeah, yeah. And then you know the Europeans they're still trying to circumvent all the payment systems to continue to do work with Iran This could be much bigger maybe maybe Maybe something much bigger is happening the maybe But what? I don't know. Hopefully we'll get some producers who maybe are some boots on the ground or something, there's got to be something brewing in Iran that we're not hearing about Well this is where our economic hitmen would come in handy Right, they'd come in for sure A quick update maybe on the yellow vests

2:30:56 I think there was a request for that earlier in the show. Third month now, in effect! Clashes in Paris on Saturday marked three months since the Giles Jaunes demonstrators rallied against President Emmanuel Macron's policies but with fewer people taking part Mind you this is Euro news so stand by for the propaganda Last November they were around 300 thousand who took to the streets across cities in France last week they were around 50 thousand according to government estimates But organizers put the figure at over 100,000. Of course we are tired and fed up but we won't give up on anything because they want to muzzle us and we want to be heard so I will carry on until the movement runs out of steam if it runs out of steam

2:30:18 Yeah, yeah. And then you know the Europeans they're still trying to circumvent all the payment systems to continue to do work with Iran This could be much bigger maybe maybe Maybe something much bigger is happening the maybe But what? I don't know. Hopefully we'll get some producers who maybe are some boots on the ground or something, there's got to be something brewing in Iran that we're not hearing about Well this is where our economic hitmen would come in handy Right, they'd come in for sure A quick update maybe on the yellow vests

2:30:56 I think there was a request for that earlier in the show. Third month now, in effect! Clashes in Paris on Saturday marked three months since the Giles Jaunes demonstrators rallied against President Emmanuel Macron's policies but with fewer people taking part Mind you this is Euro news so stand by for the propaganda Last November they were around 300 thousand who took to the streets across cities in France last week they were around 50 thousand according to government estimates But organizers put the figure at over 100,000. Of course we are tired and fed up but we won't give up on anything because they want to muzzle us and we want to be heard so I will carry on until the movement runs out of steam if it runs out of steam

2:31:42 I remain prepared to continue because i'm unable to buy as many things every day. I am also here to denounce the violence from the police, there is more and more violence which unfortunately the media does not show in France A poll this week showed dwindling support for them As more than half of those surveyed said they want any violence to stop Alright so it's just not stopping And its still spreading but this is only report that I can find Three months Straight Yeah, three months straight and we get no news in the US about this at all? Or Europe is barely any news. We have yellow vest in the Netherlands and Belgium... Germany

2:32:25 I think maybe Austria. You really don't know because it's not mainstream reporting, I would have to make an actual effort all... There has to be some reporting somewhere This is it! Euronews and the propaganda Well, it's tapering off, oh it's a lot less than it was only 50 thousand who cares about fifty thousand people who were pissed off All right, we do have this for two. This was a great report so interesting to me that I got our little jingle ready for it. Spot the spook spot the spook everybody wants to spot The podcast AutoLine daily episode 2532 boy

2:33:10 That's a little bit ahead of us. Jamie Miszuk, former deputy director of the CIA. Linda Gooden formerly the head of information systems at Lockheed Martin and Wes Bush former CEO of Northrop Grumman In a world of cyber attacks and geopolitical flare-ups, General Motors is making sure it has the kind of corporate guidance that knows how to deal with these kinds of problems. Another point worth repeating... Almost half of GM's board are women! The highest percentage in the auto industry by a wide margin and that's going to give GM perspectives that other automakers do not have

2:34:07 Now, yeah it's a podcast so you know it's just information. But that's quite an interesting list of board members. There is more than just information there was an opinion at the end Yeah I don't care about the opinion...I'm- I was looking at the spooks! Yeah places filled with them almost all spooks Why? What does GM make war stuff? I guess they do huh? Yeah tanks But still that's an interesting list. Is that how you get paid off at the end? You know, like be on the board and everything is good. Thanks for your service. It's a paid board job it's not like a free one. Maybe it could be just that GMs only company will allow it maybe I don't know what it just very very fishy. I do like that it said that the majority as women I hope the company does really well. That's what we've been promised

2:34:59 Yes, with all the women that should do better than typically all men. According to what we've been promised And I guess we should do this update since it seems to be incredibly important to people, although the event itself is completely uninteresting. But the fact that it took place is very very bad for the United States and once again shows you how the mainstream media gets just fooled into all kinds of crap. This is the Jussie Smollett... You know, this is kind of what everyone has and you want to chuckle. Well I'll play the report in a quick discussion. Developing news now on the Jussie Smollett case the two men arrested in the alleged attack on the actor were released from custody but apparently not before giving police important information. The Nigerian brothers say that Empire actor orchestrated the whole thing. Sarah and Chris's story is still evolving Chicago Police released a statement tonight saying information

2:36:03 from those brothers you mentioned, quote shifted the trajectory of the investigation. And police say they've reached out to the attorney representing Jussie Smollett hoping to speak to him. They now released those brothers without filing any charges and when they did police said there was new evidence but didn't say what it was. Now sources tell CBS News a brother said Smollett paid them to take part in the attack Sources say the pair was paid $3,500 before they left for Nigeria shortly after the attack and were promised another 500 when they returned. They also reportedly said they bought the rope that was around Smollett's neck at a hardware store Thursday police searched the apartment of the brothers and removed bleach, black

2:36:46 ski mask as well as other items. Smollett has hired Michael Monaco as his lawyer, he's best known for representing President Trumps one time personal attorney Michael Cohen. That'll be good luck with that. Let's back up. We call this from the minute it was We did. It was produced as some sort of a news story because of the situation. John, it wasn't just a news story it was breaking news stop everything there were I was listening to MSNBC Stephanie Ruhle was in tears this is the worst

2:37:22 news I've ever had to read and it was they had MAGA hats and this that was MAGA country something that isn't even that he wasn't even reported. This is another example of how it's just how do you trigger the news? Who can do a better job who can get something to go viral and there's never an apology for all the shit that they say while this hoax takes place Again, I just want to remind people we spotted this because of the weather conditions. Nobody's going to be out in 20 below temperatures with a hat on like that for starters.

2:38:01 The whole thing made zero sense and so we just ignored it. We made our proclamation, this is bull crap! Although it makes us sound like Trump apologists. Of course And we stopped even reporting on it because it was dumb and now comes around to be exactly what we said Dumb Which of course I'm glad you followed up on that. I mean I wasn't even going to pay any attention to it but It's just the end and you're right. Where is the apology for these news outlets that don't do any work? They look at Twitter, and that's their job now I mean it's horrible Yes Which is kind of the essence of why we even have this show Is to point out the fallacies of the media And what they are doing

2:38:48 But what they're not doing in this case is apologizing profusely for having started yet another race conversation that we really don't need here at the moment. And you know, I'll make this other assertion... This will still be seen by many as an event that did happen. That's the worst part Yeah. Well, it's like that guy in Chicago where they put the noose around his head and he had the mega hat guys remember that? That's right man! The same hat that kid wore when he went after that Indian guy you know those horrible high schoolers they almost beat him up You know that remember that? You nailed it That's exactly it Well there you go another immediate lie deconstructed But we kind of knew at the minute happened Just based on the weather this story made no sense That's right detective Dookie We're all over it

2:39:44 And we will be back on Thursday for more of the deconstruction of the daily news, whatever else is going on around the world.
