Work To Rules

00:00 Someone has to pay. Adam Curry, John C. DeVorek It's Thursday March 28th 2019 This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1124! This is no agenda... It's a dark day for the internet and we're broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state here in downtown Austin Tejas in the Cludio In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley where were maxed out I'm John C. DeVorek Maxed out on what? maxed out in the max plane 737 max are you still at all this year he's still on the Mac story It's like move on man. We have so many more stories to deal with getting stuff from people Oh, I know You know there is one small problem that's cropped up people are very quick to share something from a Google Drive Which I appreciate

00:57 Especially because I restrict how many megabytes can come through on my mail server. Yeah, you have a...I will tell people this if you send anything to adamantcurry.com and it's over 10. I think 700 bytes? Ten megabytes! You can't get it through ten megabytes, my butt! Yeah, it'll do ten megabytes. Go on. That accounts for the headers. Well like yeah true. I changed that what maybe seven or eight years ago Yeah, because people you know they all I found this great movie. Here's the DVD yeah, it's in the ISO files okay now You have a gigabit line It's not it's about the storage space

01:40 Storage space. I don't have my own mail server, I don't use the Gmail's Anyway when people send me something through Google Drive they automatically assume that they can share it with AdamMcCurry.com but i do not repeat do not have an adammccurry.com account linked to google for obvious reasons so I always have to say could you please reshare this gmail address Think there's a way you can do it where you can just share with anyone right doesn't have to be one person me that There's a box. You can take yeah, I would think I'm just saying it for people It's appreciated the share. I just can't access once in awhile I don't get that often because people see another center here's a Google Drive link and click on usually works Yeah um no me it's more often than not it doesn't anyway so an interesting week

02:32 Yeah, it's pretty good lively. Yeah I was down for the count on the couch but i got a lot of opportunity to watch people's heads explode which is kind of fun and then also switching back there was some stuff on C-SPAN little bit but I guess it really was the media that was the main focus this week Yeah, how fine they perform? How well they do Well there did their digging themselves out of a hole. I'm watching it the change in the narrative as well You know that's not what really what we meant. I mean to watch this this backpedaling is just astonishing It's very well done you know What just from an overall meta perspective what I saw was We had the four pager from bar which you

03:17 which kind of said everyone like, oh wait a minute now we got a problem. We were very wrong then it was like oh well don't worry because the Southern District of New York there's the Southern District of New York that's where it's gonna help. And then so the Southern District of New York the next day the Southern District of New York speaks but what it says is this today we announce criminal extortion charges against Michael Avenatti The charges are based on Avenatti's scheme to extract more than $20 million in payments from a public company by threatening to use his ability to garner publicity, to inflict financial and reputational harm on the company. And we'll talk about that in a second. So nothing really changed it was there was not a lot of info but it was the Southern District of New York. The narrative had changed about the SDNY

04:12 And then the next day, Jussie Smollett has all his charges dropped and the whole news cycle changed. It was like this beautiful... dare I say orchestrated moment where there was we don't know what to do and boom! We got a two punch with a tap first and then a solid left hook and now were into something else. And then the pivot started now as you say news is starting to dig itself out of the hole And when you look at, I mean Avenatti connected to CNN. Yes the thing about Avenatti...I don't know do you have any clips? Yeah yeah yes I have a Fox Business News analysis Well the thing about it and fortunately for him or what for them for the news media is this really puts into doubt the whole thing with Stormy Daniels

05:05 Because if this guy's just trying to pull a Jesse Jackson extortion racket, which you can't do the way he did it. No I mean you have to know how you'd do that properly How about this clip from listen this Fox Business News clips? See if we learn anything more about what actually happened because I think there is a real story here It's just he played it in stupid way sense that people were looking out for money for Mike Labonetti? His law firm had filed for bankruptcy. His ex-wife was looking for money. Is there any background you could share that perhaps what would have led him to, because this whole Nike thing went down basically just the last couple of days

05:43 Well, you know what I think is interesting about the speed of the Nike situation. It literally is like a four-day case Is that they move this quickly to do criminal complaints and there's two reasons for a criminal complaint in a white collar case which still primarily a white collar case The first is it lets people at press conferences say a lot more because there's a public record of an act affidavit that has more in it. So you could see from the New York press conference in particular, I mean they were laying on thick calling him everything under the sun and describing every nook and cranny of their case The other thing is does as it says we're not going to wait and do grand jury We're gonna hurry up and put handcuffs on this guy And I'm a little curious whether the government's perspective Is gonna be that this man needs to be locked up pretrial That they wanted to hurry They see a person who's out of control

06:29 They argue that he's a risk of flight. They may even argue that he is the danger of economic harm, which is kind of rarely used theory for detention but I think the next week or so it can be very telling in terms of what their approach going to be towards this guy. I just want point out how much like The End Of The Godfather this looks like where all enemies get hit at same time. Mahler report as a bust Avinati gets hauled off. The other guy, Geragos, there's a CNN connection There is the connection to Kaepernick, the quarterback Mr President warm up the Twitter fingers you have a long night ahead of ya sir That was another kind of analysis you could make I kinda like that Trump the godfather got all his enemies in one fell swoop But the Nike thing... You know that's probably going to be true They have apparently they had recorded him

07:20 They had a wiretap for some other reason or whatever, and they caught him doing this in real time. And that's when they really... That's why it went so fast. Right! And he was extorting them but you also have to think that Nike really has a problem amidst the college admission scandal and because of the accusation I think is there bribing young athletes paying them signing up for contracts pre-in high school All of this I guess is not legal. Not sure how that all works sports, not my Not my wheelhouse do you know anything about? Trouble they're in actually I mean they're pretty circumspect About those deals they'd like to sign people up for their shoe contracts as soon as they can if they have any potential but a lot of it is I'm sure I doubt that there. I think this guy just was

08:17 You don't think it was a preemptive strike? False accusations, personally. There hasn't been any exposition on the Nike... No no no there hasn't! ...I mean besides he's just slave labor to make shoes That's the real problem here We should go talk about that with him Yeah I'd like Ivanadovich in a... Hey man you want me to wipe off 10 billion off of your clients market cap Wow, what an idiot. Yeah and he was supposed to be the front runner for 2020. He's gonna run for president. CNN can pick him can't they? Really good really really good well cnn's got you know they're finally coming to grips with this problem do you think they're coming to groups with it i don't see them coming there's been a lot of meetings but to me meetings means coming to grips

09:08 Huh, you mean just about everything? Really?! Do tell. Is this an inside source what are you learning bro? It's been floating around yes in the trades hmm yeah they're concerned about their reputation How about their ratings? Well they've been using this trick to to get their ratings up, but their ratings haven't budged against MSNBC which is the real bad actor here that nobody wants to talk about. What everyone on Fox has been spouting is that both CNN and MSNBC's ratings tanked I think they're focusing mainly on CNN

09:47 tanked 50% after the bar interpretation of the Mueller report came out. How many did you do it? That's bullcrap, just tell me the ratings don't come out that fast! They took the overnights and they took the 25-34. A couple of overnights I mean to start when it came out last Friday Yeah, no they took the difference between Friday or Thursday and Monday I think. It was a ratings... it's a way of reading the numbers Okay well it's possible but I'm not saying it's not possible But I don't see why people are going to change their viewing habits. It seems to me when this stuff comes out, you want to watch...I think the ratings would go up because you want to see how CNN is going to cover their ass! I'd tune in." Well honestly all i'm seeing right now is all the networks laughing at each other putting up little over-the-shoulder boxes of that host or this host and he's an idiot she's an idiot they're now just talking about themselves

10:43 They love that. Yes, yes So we have a couple of things to handle Let me do the easy stuff first How about before you want to just take a little? Respite here I have a couple of things because you did this in the last show and I started noticing This has become a big trend Which is the the compilation of one thing at you Yeah, you know these compilations they have for example. I have a couple short ones that we can play just to get To the groove I Got to accomplish this is just one show of Rachel Maddow This is the compilation racial from one single show during this mania Russia Russia Vladivostok Russia Russia hate Russia Russia Russia Putin Russia's Russia Russia Russia Russian Russian Russian Russian Russia Russia Moscow Moscow

11:42 Moscow, Russia Russian Pro-Russian Russian Russia Russian Russians Russians Russians Russians Russians Russians Russians Russians Russians Russians Russia Russian Russia Russian Russian Russian Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia. Russian, Russian, Russia. The Russians. Russians, Russians, Russia! Russia, Russian, Russian, Russia, Russia Putin, Putin, Putin, Putin, Putin, Russia, Russian, Russian, Russia The Soviet Empire the second of the 20th century's great evils communism

12:19 And that was from one show. Was that a recent show? It was a few months back, I think. But it was a show about Russia, Russian collusion. So you'd expect her to say Russia a lot but there's another...I have the second one which is this one and I'm pretty sure we haven't played this one This is where they've taken and clipped everything that equates the Russia collusion with Watergate

13:11 Oh yeah. And then 9-1-1 and treason Russia hacked our election! That was a 9-11 scale event At the caliber of a Pearl Harbor or a 9-11 Do you agree with that? I completely agree with that You're actually Donald Trump is a little bit like, you know, political and cunt That was a Pearl Harbor scale event. It was on the scale of a Pearl Harbor, a 9-11. It is a 9-11 danger to the sovereignty of the United States. They attacked the core of our very democracy! Robbie Mook former Clinton campaign manager said it's like Watergate. Parallels to Watergate here are eerie. Oh just like with the Watergates scandal. Revelations that have some raising the specter

13:53 Watergate. Dan Rather said this has the potential to be bigger than Watergate. It's bigger than Watergate. A scandal as big as Watergate One Democrat now using the word treason to describe the new Russian revelations You, sir, floated the word treason! It seems like there is a lot of evidence that there are members of the administration who are more concerned about Russia's goals then our own That I believe is actually close to textbook definition of treason. I mean, look well that's the definition of treason. Senate Democrats want a 9-11 style commission an independent investigation similar to what we did after we were attacked on 9 11. The House and Senate ought to be doing this jointly just as we did after 9 11. Just like we had after 9 11 And i would like to see a 9 11 type commission kind of like the 9 11 committee nine eleven I hadn't heard that one it's a good one

14:47 Yeah, it's just these are cropping up all over the place because... Because we can is wise. It's out there for the making. No it's because there's so much material out there. For the last two years, these networks, just to get their ratings up apparently that's what everyone thinks is they have been harping on this and so you, it's rich. That was a one minute 28 second clip of 9-11 trees and all the rest but you could put together probably in a good hour I have one myself i won't play the whole thing but ill just...I picked up a new one myself this morning Does the public understand

15:26 How much trouble the president is in? To believe that the president isn't compromised requires such a leap of faith. I think we have all the proof we need of a scandal that's arguably worse than Watergate Do we know if there is still this belief and aspect that the president is working for the Russians, I can't answer that The US President possibly working for the Russians I mean it goes on for two more minutes we've heard enough of it but yeah. It goes on for days, yeah! We should take by the way you have about three or four of these recent ones... We could take a whole week off! I'm thinking we can put together an entire show Well I do have two like 145 in length clips but they're from Glenn Greenwald

16:11 And he did his own version of a takedown of the media, MSNBC in particular that I thought was really good. We've always played Glenn Greenwald clips we've always liked him on the show since... Yeah? I want to preface this clip with the comment that Greenwald noticed about almost maybe six to nine months ago that they stopped bringing him on these shows. Yes, yeah That's getting hurt by it I think because he likes the attention and so he really started building up a lot of material just blast these guys And then another kind of an element to this was they also stop putting him on Democracy Now Oh, and so they fought they brought them back to democracy now and

16:56 And Mark Ames, the partner with Matt Taibbi as it used to be made this comment on Twitter. He says, oh democracy now is trying to walk back all their Russiagate crap by bringing Glenn back. That's exactly what it was! Yeah exactly Well, MSNBC has not made that decision yet and Greenwald went off. It was continuously on MSNBC which let me just say should have their top host on prime time go before the cameras and hang their head in shame and apologize for lying to people for three straight years exploiting their fears to great profit these are people who were on the verge of losing their jobs that whole network was about to collapse this whole scam saved them

17:44 And not only did they constantly feed people for three straight years total disinformation, they did it on purpose Tucker. And the proof of that is that unlike you who has been criticized in a lot of different ways by the left some of which I agree with and we've talked about before The first time ever watched your show You had on Adam Schiff the leading Democrat to talk about on your set for 12 straight minutes collusion so that your audience could hear the other side of the story. MSNBC did the exact opposite, there was a whole slew not just me but left-wing journalists with very high journalistic credentials far more than anyone on that network like Matt Taibbi and Jeremy Scahill and many others including myself who are banned from the network because they wanted their audience not to know

18:33 anybody was questioning or expressing skepticism about the lies and the scam they were selling because it was so profitable. They did it on purpose, it was a total fraud that they perpetrated on their audience and to the extent that they talked about this at all, it was to call us agents of the Russian government famous as traitors and to lie about us continuously to their audience. And there's still no accountability, they still won't put us on the airwaves, they still won't apologize and they're still lying to their audience so that don't want their audience know what they did for them three straight years on purpose. Yeah I think he is kind of angry Well, you know he needs to go on. He is a lefty we know that very left and he's right everyone he named are these lefties who have different perspectives by the way This is the same thing that's going on with climate change Yes now before before we go there I want to play this second clip yet Okay, I want to play the second clip because here he takes on a total no agenda stance a lefty who's right?

19:32 about the intelligence agencies and who was being put on the air, which we've I think we've been talking about that since show number one. It is completely corrupted journalism The whole point of what we were supposed to learn from the debacle of WMDs in the Iraq war Which by the way this network that were on was one of the leaders of Was the fact that we were not supposed to trust intelligence agencies when they say things without evidence and not only did MSNBC and CNN use those people as their sources, they hired them as their news analysts. So if you turn on CNN or MSNBC it was basically state TV it was CIA TV three weeks ago Tucker three weeks ago John Brennan was on MSNBC and he said that he strongly believes that Robert

20:20 Mueller is going to indict members of the Trump family either before or after March 15th because he's too noble to use the Ides of March for having conspired with Russia. They kept all dissent off the air, they turned themselves only into the spokespeople of the people that are supposed to be investigating and scrutinizing which is the intelligence community and the military officials who now are their colleagues who now report the news. You have government officials who spent their whole careers in the Pentagon and in the CIA, they're disinformation agents who now work at CNN and MSNBC shaping what their news is. And that's why these channels turned into disinformation campaigns because those are the people that they hired, the people that are supposed to be serving as watchdogs over there, the people who are neocons, the people who lied the country into war

21:09 through WMDs, not only did they have no accountability. They got rewarded by becoming the stewards of these networks and they lied to millions of people for three straight years and huge amounts of accountability is needed And what he's doing here is he's taking a page from Matt Taibbi's article, if you haven't read it I'm sure you've seen it John but if you haven't read this yet Matt Taibbi literally says this is our generation's weapons of mass destruction and that's a different tactic. I'd like that one little better than climate change although that's underway as we speak That scam But the weapons of mass destruction was a media and press failure Massive Yeah A couple people died so I don't think they should feel bad about it

21:53 The funniest thing, which is quite Orwellian is the list of pundits that the White House sent to TV producers. Did you see this? No I did not see this. They sent a note... hold on..I'll bring it up here and the note says Director of Communications for the President, as you know Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report found that no one associated with President Donald J. Trump 2016 campaign colluded with Russia despite repeated offers from Russia linked operatives The special counsel also made no recommendation on obstruction which is a decision in itself

22:33 Using the information provided by Mueller, the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General determined there was no obstruction. This is all the result of the Special Counsel's 2800 subpoenas 500 search warrants, 500 witness interviews 40 FBI agents 19 lawyers 25 million dollars in taxpayer funds and a partridge in a pear tree The only way to interpret these conclusions is a total and complete vindication of President Trump The issuance of these definitive findings comes after two years of Democratic Democrat leaders and others lying to the American people by vigorously and repeatedly claiming there was evidence of collusion. They made many of these false claims without evidence on your airwaves, the list of guests who made outlandish false claims include but are not limited too so here's the list we have a list! A media list Blumenthal

23:21 And I have little examples of what each of these people said. Blumenthal, quote the evidence is pretty clear there was collusion between Trump and the campaign in the Russians. Adam Schiff, Adam Schiff, I think there's plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight. Gerald Nadler, there was obviously a lot of collusion. The question is how high? Eric Swalwell, In our investigation we saw strong evidence of collusion. DNC chairman Tom Perez and over the course of the last year we have seen I think a mountain of evidence of collusion. Former CIA director John Brennan, I called this behavior treasonous which is to betray one's trust and to aiding in abetting the enemy and I stand very much by that statement." And then they

24:07 Conclude by saying moving forward we ask you employ basic journalistic standards when booking such guests to appear anywhere in your universe of productions You should begin by asking the basic question Does this guest warrant further appearance in our programming given the outrageous and supported claims made in the past? Question mark a minimum if these guests do reappear. You should replay the prior statements and challenge them They should have just put together a package incentive to them I'm not gonna ask him to do this. No one's going to do this." Of course not, but i think it's... Not only that guys like Schiff are really kind of douchebags they can weasel their way out and well you know what I meant? What I mean was this and well I still think there's some evidence and it's just a shame that it didn't get you know wasn't that obvious so we're gonna do some more investigation. I mean that guy! I just think its unique that a White House or President sends out a list

25:03 People you should not have on. It's like a blacklist, but it doesn't work as a blacklist because it doesn't stop anything if was your true black list that would be more more onerous who knows what's out there? Who knows? So there's something Kellyanne Conway did does It does. It has all the elements of a Kellyanne Conway release Yeah, that sounds really weird when you think about the money shot and her release Whoa! Hey I may be sick but i'm not dead So there's a million clips that yeah of course Fox is just hitting this to death with everyone who was wrong

25:48 And now it kind of seems... there is a new twist to the talking point. I think it's now we go from, well okay there was no collusion but why is he so nice to Russia? How's he nice to Russia? She put more sanctions on them than anyone. Yeah, but that's not seen no one in fact where is the... Well they don't report it because you know it doesn't fit the narrative as people like to say Just yesterday was yesterday or day before yesterday Trump was sitting down with Guido's wife? Yeah, Guido's wife. It was a very odd press conference and so she had a couple people with her and one of these people was talking to the president saying well you know I guess my husband or someone's been arrested don't know where he is and he's listening to it... And then the press asked a question about Russia We are with Venezuela we are with... After this sorry

26:44 Your husband and you know with the people that he represents which is a big Big majority of the country What's happening there should not happen and be allowed to happen anywhere, so we're with you 100% Okay? Please give him our regards It'll all work out. It's all gonna work out it always does We're going to get it to work out Thank you very much. It'll be fine. Steve? Mr President, what sort of complications does the Russian involve in Malpose? Russia has to get out! Did you see this?! He has a very angry look on his face. Russia's gotta get out!! So he's not very nice to Russia it's just you never see it and so that seems... The Russia thing is this is an interesting situation because

27:43 The people who are siding with Venezuela and Maduro, really they're siding with the wrong side of... Well I'm not going to say the term wrong side of history but it seems like this is not justified. The country's according to everyone who writes in Economic Hitman and others The country is really a military dictatorship that is run by, that the military really they have the control. Maduro's kind of just the front man and it's not been... People are losing weight. Great place for weight loss because they can't eat enough food. It's just a mess and needs to be cleared up. And so Russia goes in there for what purpose?

28:31 To keep us from getting the oil fields, I guess? Maybe because they didn't get a piece of the action. Maybe we should have cut them in." Well this is all on Trump's mind because from the same press briefing The truth always wants to come out You know We're thinking about Venezuela the country and the president thinks differently. Venezuela was a country with tremendous potential and is still a country with tremendous potential But people are starving, they're being killed. They're being beaten what's going there is unfathomable to everybody that sees and everybody that gets reports we're getting reports that are horrible

29:12 The potential of Venezuela if done properly and with democracy would be incredible. It was one of the richest companies, certainly one of the truly rich countries in the world. And now it's one of the poorest countries in the world. A country company? Why is he thinking that? Despite oil, the oils not coming out He's all over the oil. He doesn't give a crap about the country, he is thinking about the company You know people like to slam him for various things but I don't know when he became an oil guy and he had oil on the mind when he put that Exxon guy in charge of the State Department who just was no good Tillerson

30:02 What? Tillerson, Rex Tillerson. Yeah, Tillerson he was just a kind of a bumbler and did of course then he blamed Trump but it was the oil had to be on his mind when he put a guy like that in charge at the State Department thinking maybe they guys should go out and do I think he made the mistake that the public generally makes because I don't think Trump was ever in the oil business But I think Trump made the mistake that the public generally makes, which is...which I have experienced because I worked at an oil refinery and then I was an air pollution inspector in a different oil refinery. And-and I know from experience that when you're on one side of the aisle it's like your-you put in a clamp

30:44 on the oil company, if you're working for the oil company you can do the opposite. You can do this switch. You can switch from being an oil guy to being a not-oil guy, being a regulator let's say which is what Tillerson did because he was the oil guy big shot oil guy now he's gonna be State Department so he divorced himself from the oil business I think Trump was susceptible to the public thinking that if your ever involved with the oil companies You're always an oil guy looking out for the benefit of oil guys. That's bull crap and that's how Tillerson screwed up because he never went out and did a bunch of oil deals, he was trying to do what a State Department guy is supposed to do."

31:26 and run the State Department. And I think Trump has got, for some reason he really got oil on his mind when he talks about Iraq. He always says we should have taken the oil! Yes. Now we're supposed to be taking the oil out of Venezuela? It's just...I don't know what happened that made him—and nobody's noticed this by the way—he's gone from a real estate guy through an oil guy. Hmm. He talks very little about real estate Only when it comes to North Korea Yeah, they got no oil. Exactly! What can I tell you? Real estate yeah beachfront property... Well it's troubling because honestly i'm a little confused and on one hand I want to believe the people who we hear from that and there is a lot of evidence that it really is bad in Venezuela but on the other hand come on this Guaido guy give me a break this is just a failed coup at this point bringing his wife in Obama clone

32:23 Right. So I don't know if he's really invested in that, but when he's talking about the company Venezuela... Hmm. I dunno. Well this is stillborn so far they have not- our CIA who is supposed to be orchestrating this has not done a very good job. Unless they've been cut out of the deal and it's just the State Department which is possible and their boneheads too apparently We don't know. We don't know who's, we don't know what group is behind it because there's too much... It's been covered up pretty well. There was a- It has to be the State Department or the CIA. It has to be one of the two Yeah can't be both Can't be both and it has to be one of them

33:07 With Dick Morris, wasn't he... He was an advisor to Clinton? President Clinton. I believe so Did he leave in disgrace or did they have a falling out? No, he had some sexual thing maybe with something Or he was-I don't know You can look it up on the Wikipedia But yeah, but he's always around writing books and he's always pontificating about campaigns He's just kind of been...He's not part of the mainstream anymore in terms of Well he wrote an op ed for What is it? The Western Journal. So yeah, he's not mainstream anymore and... In the olden days that would have gone into the Wall Street Journal in their times. The myth of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin now stands exposed at the greatest political hoax in American history and it was Hillary Clinton's hoax! And he goes into the whole background, the dossier

33:59 I just found it surprising that he would write that. I don't think he's getting any invites for any TV appearances from it, but it's pretty good piece. Well, he is another guy who has been marginalized from the TVs Do you think... so it seems like Trump is more than hinting that now we're going to go after these people and this never happens again with any president Yeah, he's hinting but I think your earlier assertion. I think one or two shows ago the cleanup The mop up is a mop-up operation and I was thinking about that Couple of things if if Muller so first of all Mueller may just have bad feelings about his involvement in 9-11 You know He was kept on two extra years against the law

34:45 In the Obama administration against the mandatory no longer than 10 years as FBI director, right? He was part of the Patriot Act and he came in just two weeks before 9-11. So there was a lot of Hustling and covering up that he had to do and maybe he felt had some remorse so he came in and As far as I can see everyone who was a bad actor in this he got out. Everyone's been extracted everyone's been Retired fired quit gone, you know There's there's that professor helper is not even even know if he's on the in in this universe I mean there's a lot of his alive Yeah people have just kind of disappeared they've gone away and when you think about this sequence of events

35:27 where, okay Hillary did not become president. Shit oh my god we've got so much to clean up because we had all these things set up God knows what else there was And Hillary herself said they were all going to be hanging from nooses. And then Comey, he helped with the mop up by saying oh it's just you know as Loretta Lynch says it's a matter and we're not gonna prosecute she did bad things but nothing to prosecute about and that was a cover-up that was covering up for her And then he got fired, and that's when the shit hit the fan. And that's when Mueller had to come in good friends with Comey You know Oh to finish the mop-up job Yes! Yeah yeah yeah So your new assertion is that Comey was doing the mopping up In his own way He was not doing a very good job The situation stopped I also think that he...the way he mopped up he messed it up

36:23 Because instead of just mopping stuff up he came out and started doing you know like announcements impressed me. He was a foul-up Yeah, so he messed it up and that's when when Mueller had to come in and it's very possible that this conclusion, just as a quid pro quo to keep everybody happy. It's very possible this Mueller conclusion of no collusion made another rhyme was already known before the midterm elections but that he kept it going because can you imagine if it came out just before the election there would have been just bloodletting and right but you couldn't let it go to 2020? No absolutely not

37:06 Now it seems like some... Now we're back to even playing field seemingly. Kind of, yeah kind of. Anyway big sigh of relief for me We won't have to report on this anymore It's all over it's done isn't it? Yeah I think so! It's true That's true is the way it goes Wait I have a thing for you where is it? That's true! People love that Yeah, apparently I'm a little surprised by it. No me well no Well you are John C. Dvorak but I got stuff like that welcome in Isis We could just use it from time to time we welcome in Isis yes ironic thing because it's double on two is a double meaning it has ISIS and ISIS this goddess and nice is this

38:03 Check offs in Syria now. I see you have a clip and I'm happy because I don't but I do have an explanation of This being the darkest day for the Internet and this pertains to the European Union Passing at least in the Parliament article 11 article 13 of the new copyright directive Yeah, and by the way, I want to mention that That this was not on any main I didn't see this on CBS ABC NBC. I only got it from Democracy Now another example were there because they're these other guys are just still covering Mueller and the fallout and the rest of it in some minor other stories Oh, yeah, global warming was big this week Yeah

38:46 And so I got this from Democracy Now! I mean, I'm sure one of the networks talked about it a little bit but I never picked it up. In Brussels the European Parliament's approved a massive overhaul of copyright laws that critics say will bring widespread censorship to the Internet One measure would effectively tax internet sites like Google when they display snippets of copyrighted material including news articles Another measure will likely prompt sites like YouTube to install filters that search for and then automatically delete uploads that are determined to be copyright violations. Ahead of Tuesday's vote, the proposed copyright rules prompted massive protests with more than 100,000 people marching in cities across Europe over the weekend.

39:31 In a statement, Open Media executive director Laura Tribe said, quote, "'Today's vote is a major blow to the open Internet. This directive positions the Internet as a tool for corporations and profits—not for people,' she said." So this was—it was all over the webs. and a lot of articles, many policy groups and think tanks weighed in as you can imagine. And this is something we've been following on the show for quite awhile Article 11 is the so-called text tax I'm going to leave that for what it is for just a moment That's more about Google News more than anything article 13 which did change a little bit in this final draft or final

40:15 Directive that was approved by the Parliament, which by the way doesn't mean that it's law. No, the Parliament is really just a... It's almost like bull crap! It's like an attaboy. Yes! Good one! We liked that one good one Since its a directive there will be no EU organization that oversees it This needs to be implemented by the member states themselves in their own manner appropriate to their locale for as long as that lasts while they still have some sovereignty left So this none of this will really be implemented before 2021 if you look at the timeline of what has to happen. A lot of people were scared into submit, scared

40:56 just frightened that this was somehow going to ruin the internet, we'll never be able to post memes, fair use will go away. All of these horrible horrible things and I'm here to tell you that this is nothing but a well-orchestrated EU scam and it's well done and i would not have known it unless the CDU in Germany had played their hand And I also, you know follow the money is really what you need to do. Maybe we should step back for a second and explain how performing rights organizations operate There are organizations in every country just to name a few you have ASCAP, BMI You have GEMA in Germany. You have CSAC which is mainly France but it's overall I think It's a worldwide organization you have BUMA, STEMRA and the Netherlands and they could go on and on and on And these organizations have statutory right to collect money when copyrighted

41:51 Work is used and really they you have to be a member. You have to yes, you have to be a member to receive money from that but these are the people I mean go ahead and if there's let's say there's a farmers market and You just go up there with your DJ set and start playing some tunes And you do that on this Saturday? Maybe not the first Saturday But the second Saturday someone will come up to you and say hey man Do you have a performance license for this yeah Do you have a venue license? No. This is true, that's true! It's true! If you have like a workshop garage and you play the radio and there are more than five employees then you also have to pay royalties if you're a liquor store playing music over

42:37 Over the system. Yep that somebody just brought their CD to work and decided to pipe it in this is why yeah This is why you often will hear really crap music Because that is stuff that's been performed at a outside of the royalty system. It's not royalty-free, but you can make a separate deal But most mostly people want to hear and see the music that they're interested in popular things or films etc So these rights organizations They collect all the money and then through a number very magical what the fee is by the way The fee what do you mean? Remember like per song

43:16 Well, they collect everything. They collect all the money. No I know they collect but okay i'm a radio station and just played 10 songs. What do what do I owe them? You already went straight to the punchline. Radio stations although they do have to mark down what they played it's impossible obviously for everything to be... well not impossible but Over the years, the way it's come down is there are these things called a blanket license. In a radio station which sometimes will be the network etc., we'll have a blanket license to play whatever they want from whatever genre wherever whenever some cut different deals so restricted to just a certain type of music but it's all yeah there's guidelines of how much you'll pay but ultimately its percentage revenue

44:04 That's how it's done and the CDU German political party when this came up, and by the way there also seems to be some Some dealings between France and Germany the German coalition in the European Parliament They really wanted this and France is very particular about protecting their artists And every sense of the word and Germany didn't really want to get on board, but then apparently France said well We'll vote yes on your new pipeline with Russia The Nord Stream 2 if you sign up to the article 13. That's just what I'm hearing I have no proof of it But I wouldn't put a past him wouldn't put it passed them

44:42 So of course there's no way you can have filter they can't even filter They can't even get the New Zealand video off their off their server so there's no way you can filter people uploading stuff to check and see if it has a content ID however The CDU proposed, and this is what's going to happen. This is how they'll implement it so where Germany goes so go we all Blanket license and that means that Google Facebook any platform that makes money then that monet That will be the beginning I get monetized is will have a blanket license And you know everyone will have a content

45:22 Content ID if you're a member of the organization and then somehow magically you'll get something out at the back end But look at the music industry, look at royalties lawsuit and see how many artists from the smallest to largest are always suing The rights organizations, labels etc. because it's a horrible rotten business and people steal your money And just like the EU is grabbing money from Google, I'm not saying that they're not right to do it for anti-competitive practices. Whatever they can, they will get billions and billions of dollars

45:58 and it goes right into the rights organizations. And that's who was out there, Jean-Michel Jarre... You're kind of deemphasizing the actual punchline to this which is if they're going to have a blanket license it has to be based on revenue and who better to go after than Google? Exactly! My God! Yeah, Google or Facebook those are the guys I'll take 1% of their revenue I'll take 1% so that's what it's about. It's just soaking those and by the way, I'm all for it screw those guys. They're soaking them and notice you don't read about here because we have something called the section 230? Can't remember now there are so many sections which states

46:44 If you, if someone uploads any kind of work that is uploaded to a platform as long as they're treated like a library. That's section 230 I think it is the Communications Decency Act amirite? It's either 230 or 205. I can't remember right now, I'm fuzzy and in that it says the only thing these so the platforms cannot be held liable for any kind of human rights violation copyright violation or otherwise however if they receive a takedown notice they have to use expediency to take down the the violation and that's what we see here in the states and that's kind of been working

47:21 Although, you know I think this is a good model for the rights organizations in the US. They would love to have this! They would just love to have it so that's not being discussed very much for obvious reason So it's not going to ruin the internet You won't be...you know there won't be filters that you can upload and by the way It don't need..it's not like Amy said it's not the open Internet Facebook and Google are not the open Internet They're the closed walls. The open internet is this show sitting on a server in Canada and you get it straight to your whatever you want, just direct connection we don't go through Facebook or Google or Twitter We don't need any of that That's the open internet Although I will say if there's a way we can get in on this action and get a piece of that blanket license revenue I'm all for

48:14 I'm down for it. So that's the global issue right now and you know, and then I like Jean-Michel Jarre he is head of CESAC, he is the president of CSAC and he was out there and Cindy Lauper, you know she's on behalf of either ASCAP or BMI You know what? And I understand that they've been ripped off for 20 years by these companies The real problem I think is the is these PRO's, the Performing Rights Organizations. They're the ones that are actually not you know they got nice buildings Let's put it that way they get they throw good parties the Grammys You know this like that's all ASCAP be as actually more BMI than anything And you know the other thing Is that unlike in the 20s and 30s? Actually there are some interesting things that took place in the music industry though only people that get to ask cap money or the writers

49:06 Well, yeah. Writer and composer. Yeah that's what I meant. So separate deal for the performer, separate deal for the producer but producers can get a deal with points. Roger McGuinn tells me that The Byrds songs don't get any money but he gets tons Because he was the writer of a lot of the songs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course! And so you get that money and he never will tell me the check he gets. He gets a monthly check from ASCAP. Well this is also his main issue is a lot of his songs are from before 1974 which has a whole different issue

49:52 And is now... Yes, that's a whole- they're trying to resolve that. Well though they're resolving it Sirius XM resolved it and if you look at I have a Sirius XM for streaming and every month on the bill it says oh here's your extra five you know I think it's $1.75 or maybe its two dollars for pre 1974 copyright Now I have to pay for making me pay for it I don't know if anybody gets any money. But the whole thing is a very interesting system and when i was working in public radio with my talk shows, we had free license for everything apparently all public radio because there's no guess they can't nick them for anything because it's a percent of royalties but... It has been another big thing of contention with the rights organizations they hate that

50:51 I'm sure they do. They hate that, yeah! So you get to use all the stuff you want anytime you want for whatever purpose college stations would qualify in that area too and meanwhile as we've discussed before the online guys were an online radio station can't take advantage of it... Can't get a license We can't get a license. Can't get a license? No well then you can for streaming under But you know then it you have to they don't take into account Adam and John sitting down Shooting the shit playing some songs That's not possible because you have to deliver a log file because I think the only thing people are interested in is Playlist stations that if playlist of songs now, you can't do freeform. I've been looking into a couple things that They do allow you to do certain things but also if you play a mashup sorry You can't do that so

51:43 The real future of the music business is being hampered by these very organizations and ultimately you could you could work out a very technical solution for tracking usage Blockchain whatever I'll just say blockchain everyone will believe me Put me in the European Parliament tell your block chain combined with AI baby That would yeah, that's right blockchain AI with some machine learning thrown in for good measure so And no worries people. That's your lecture ladies and gents That's it for today, and then we have a little standing in this area. So you Lord me wouldn't be too worried well, we can go on from there to the couple of other issues that came up unless you want to know what Now how many times have you told me? You're gonna do something about the chair oh Yeah

52:49 I keep getting so many notes saying no don't touch the chair. Yeah, now it's become one of those now uh i'm touching the chair but when it happens you'll never know You'll just all of a sudden be dead silent Just warning ya. I think it's time for oh I do have to make an announcement The guy who does a male chimp is back on the job Oh and that the nonsense about male chip being dead is male chimp Chimp. Male chimp, not male chimp. Squirrel mail! The guy who does squirrel mail is back on the job and all the bullcrap that you said on the air is just what it is. Bull crap I didn't say...I was only reading from From the reports that PHP needs to get rid of squirrel mail I specifically asked a squirrel mail guy The guys in squirrel mail

53:43 The guy who invented it, the guy who... He says yeah well there hasn't been anything going on because I haven't done anything in a couple of years and i'm the only one that works on it. So as we speak, and I have an account with him. And I have SquirrelMail when he...I look into some of the stuff he's doing the new stuff. Mm-hmm. And you know, I don't see anything wrong with the old SquirrelMail personally He's added a few new things but I always revert back to the old SquirrelMail anyway

54:19 But he is working on it. And I'm good this last weekend He says all squirrel mail users be careful because this weekend, I'm gonna be working on squirrel mail So it's not dead Okay. Okay. Well, I'm happy for you thinking no It's not why listen? I'm very happy that you use your squirrel mill Did you let me just let's do a little test did you receive my email about Morris Clayton Clayton Morris? Sorry I, well if i was on my squirrel mail i could tell you. Well i sent it to you two days ago see? Your squirrel mail is not that great! No its fine its just that Polly just got... Let's see what it says when we look at Adam What about Morris Clayton? Clayton Morse Oh okay well this is Natalie Morse's husband

55:17 Yeah, he's gone into real estate. Well there is a big New York Times expose about how he is about to be driven out of real estate by a lot of angry people They were selling homes and that you know didn't exist, and I'm paraphrasing but it's a pretty long report. Okay i'm looking here at your mail. Yeah I just thought it was kind of interesting. Using the squirrel mail search feature Oh! And it worked! I got eschatology what separates us from UK, clip request newsletter attached and I was listening...I don't see anything here I guess it never went through sorry. I'll send it to you this for later It's not it's just it's more insider thing you know like an after-show think about him You know I watched him. I knew he was really good broadcaster yeah, he never should have given that up

56:05 He looks good on the air, he's got the right style. He's got very modern style. He could easily move into the NBC mainstream and become like Big Shot making millions by the way those guys make 10 to 15 million dollars a year easily than anchors. He could've gone in that direction and he's natural at it I thought he was... he just looks feels and sounds like a broadcaster Well, I think they did about five million dollars in this Morris Invest thing and it's kind of gone south on them. Several hundred people want their money back and it didn't turn out well. And the reason why we bring it up is because Natalie Morris was a John C. Dvorak discovery who we both honed We honed her She'd never been on camera ever before and we turned her into something pretty good for awhile there

57:00 Well, she could have been a hot shot too. But you know I don't think it was...I don't know she's really a writer that looks good on camera She's got that multi-culti look that everybody wants nowadays and is worth a lot of money Yeah yeah On screen talent Yes Worth a lot of money Is she Latino? Is she Italian? Is she Greek? You don't know It's a perfect look and worth a lot of money. And she never pursued it with the kind of enthusiasm she could have. I don't think she really wanted to work. She didn't want to work, no. Well with that i'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you The Man Who Put The Sea In Squirrel Mail John C!

57:46 In the morning to all the trolls in our troll room. You couldn't find my echo box! Oh, okay you got it? You want to do it over? Trolls good to see you and no agenda stream calm And that's where you can always hop in and throw out some one-liners Let us know when we're messing it up when we're doing something wrong correct us or just troll. That's what it's for I'd also like to say in the morning to our artists before episode 11 23 The title of that was cancel culture and Adam at sea has he ever had artwork chosen? I have a feeling he has

58:32 Adam at sea and the click on his place. Yeah, I think it was a fun piece of art It was the the methadone ice cream ice cream truck out there that we stop uh-huh so We're at the dinner table yes And before we talked about this show the Nick mentions cancel culture, but he doesn't use cancel culture. But he was talking about how these people at school are talking about how people get canceled and went on and on about it without even knowing we did I said We just did his show on it! And he went oh that's too bad now I gotta listen to it. They don't do that. So but meanwhile

59:12 Jay, who's the artist in the family. Yes. She holds up her phone which has got the show on it with the art she says this is the greatest art you've ever done! Really? She just thought that was a fantastic piece of art Well hopefully you didn't take credit for it You said it was Adam at Sea and not John C I said I did it Yeah exactly With Gimp Threw that together with GIMP. Yeah, so we liked it though! Thank you very much Adam and Cee there were a lot of interesting pieces and It's always fun for us certainly and moreover for this very reason people look at

59:54 For as long as we're still on the platforms people look at their podcast thing and they say hey well This is an interesting art, and that entice that signals. There's a new episode signals may be what's going on in it It works. It's a very important part of the value for value network And we appreciate what all our artists do for 1123 Thank You Adam at sea and thank you all artists you can check out all the work at no agenda Art generator dot-com Yeah, and it's very... It's functional in more ways than one. How many shows do you think do that? Zero. No, there is a couple. There is a couple. From time to time someone will say hey these guys got a great show they also change their art but I think the whole system of- I doubt if they changed your art to the high end art that we have. That's incredibly tough. Our artists are just up there We have over 13 thousand pieces of art in the database

1:00:50 So catch up kids. It's actually ridiculous Aaron Christensen isn't ridiculous though he came in with $362 and 69 cents and that begins our executive producer list In the morning gents I hope this gets in on time so I can be knighted on the Fibonacci episode it didn't make it Nope, close Close off by one. This is my third donation now in the amount of three three dot three four euro 333 dot 34 euros Which should bring me up to a thousand euros and the august title of Euro night Oh

I don't agree with everything you say Of course who does but this guy does Especially when you're shilling for both Trump and AOC at the same time. Right on! Maybe I'll take sexuality, it's in your nature look at that juice and relationship karma Can you believe a charmer like me is single? It's hard to believe Aaron from Deutschland but thank you very much And you are the top executive producer today it's appreciated Tell me about this sexuality...it's in your DNA

Juliana Lee, meanwhile in Boonesboro Maryland has came up with $360 dollars this isn't my first donation I used to have a subscription that got cancelled by PayPal. Oh bastards! Thanks for keeping me sane in the sea of madness we're living in My invisible no agenda hat helps me get through the day at work where I'm surrounded by dementia bee crazies. They're nice people, but their amygdalas have taken over and I don't see any hope for them. I've become very good at nodding in silence when they repeat memes and when they say something stupid. I just say that's interesting but by interesting I mean stupid! It works really well.

Sir Roy." Yes, well the backup sensor I believe was an extra option on the 737 MAX. You had to upgrade it to the extra option... And yeah there's some issues there. Yeah so they're grounded

1:08:55 We have to consider the pronunciation of that first name, which is always when I was a kid and you've always thought this has always been pronounced Steven. But ever since Stephen Curry came around he mucked it up. He's mucked it up $201 even from Atlanta Georgia just a quick note to the creators of The Greatest Podcast in the Universe from a member of The Generation X. I started listening about 15 months ago and I've been enriched ever since As a mergers and acquisitions professional for over 20 years, I can attest that you are on point most of the time when major corporate news events lead you to consider the merger takeover angle. In fact, I've worked at a big four firm in London 2005-2008

1:09:42 And one of the services we offered, the board of directors at large corporation clients was called The Bitter Defense which is basically a deep dive into any and all skeletons in the company's closet including lawsuits corruption allegations senior management shady background such as hostile divorces online videos DUIs etc. that could cause, any of these can cause a drop in price thus making the company vulnerable to a potential hostile takeover. We would alert the board of these matters so they could mitigate slash prevent any fallout keep up with good work homies! Please explain the Obama Mexican no-no-no hey sound clip. Hey! Hey listen you're in my house

1:10:28 Hey! Come on guys. No no no no no no no. Shame on you. No no no no no no. Hey! No no no no no no. I'm up in the house. No no no no no no. Hey! No no no no no no. Breaking the booth. Oh, hey! Alright... Did you answer your phone? I would stop after you take off the hook. You kind of take that off the hook man I always do and sometimes I forget. It's always the same people, it's a machine asking... there are only three things that I get. A credit card company telling me that I can get 0% interest which is bull. There are ones that come in occasionally that are free cruise. Oh! That is good one where you have 3 options and you can get the cruise for $1?

1:11:13 Something like that. Yeah, yeah it's $1 How could that be wrong? It sounds like a perfect deal And what was this one other there is a third one they keep coming in and one of them cracks me up because its the its oh yeah if you're blue cross blue shield or blue so-and-so you can you know press 4 to be taken off our call list You press for an hour later the exact same call comes in These people are just criminals. Why can't we get these people arrested? Well, because Liz Warren is running for president I don't know why but the thing that irks me the most is the hello business owner you are no longer properly listed in Google's search index

1:11:56 And these are Google related companies and I've, you know there's a whole process to be taken off this Google affiliate whatever bull crap. It doesn't work it just makes more calls. Just get more calls it's very very annoying yeah they got to put a stop to it Alright, is that it? Oh, that's it. Those are our execs and our associate executive producers for today. Guys any gals yeah we got a couple of gals in there. Well thank you very much execs and associate execs For supporting the work here for episode 1124 the best podcast in the universe These are the titles that are valuable anywhere credits are recognized You already saw that we have

1:12:44 Was it? Who was putting it on his resume sir Hank Scorpio the electric grid so let's see how long It takes before he gets before he gets some work You got to check in with us or Hank and let us know But also is just a way to probably display Display the fact that you are part of the value for value network that keeps this show going 11 years strong now over 1,100 episodes And we'll be thinking a lot of people have it on their Twitter. Yep The Twitter as your as your as your Twitter screen name and of course the always productive LinkedIn. It seems to work for jobs, but it does display that you are a functional

1:13:23 Code. You're a functional cog in the wheel of the Value for Value network and it's a very special thing that we've set up together and it's still working I could not be happier, and will be thanking more people $50 above on our second segment And we will have another show on Sunday for that remember us at Dvorak dot org slash N A So you can tell everybody this is not the darkest day on the internet go out there propagate it Our formula is this We go out We hit people in the mouth. That's true. That's wrong! Yeah, I'm loving that combo. Loving that combo

1:14:15 Yes, all right. Should we do Smollett for a second? Because there's a lot of stuff... I don't have any. Do you have any Smollett? No, I got a ton of stuff to you. Yeah, I got Smolletts stuff. It was a pretty funny situation but it turns out there'd be some sort of ... Now I hear the FBI is going to investigate the state attorney For those who haven't heard about it, well actually here's Brian Stelter from CNN right after the charges were dropped. Emergency hearing? Emergency court appearance? That's a new one to me if your charge is going to be dropped It's like, oh emergency everybody all media come to me come to me I think Stelter from CNN summed it up in the way it was meant to be what it was supposed to pack out to be

1:15:00 You know, you remember right after Smollett said he was the victim of a hate crime in Chicago that night. The Fox network, the studio, the Empire cast and crew all had his back supported him very strongly That continued as it became a mystery about what happened and whether he had made this up The network continued to support him but started to pull pull back a little bit in those public statements. Right now there's no new comment from Fox, but this is a key part of the story Nia because I do think he wants to get back to work that's what a friend of Smolenski said to me He wants to act! He wants to get back to work. He had actually been taken off two of the episodes of Empire his future as a Hollywood actor has been in limbo for the past few weeks so his lawyers have been trying to get to this point

1:15:43 so that he can return to work. So far, no comment from the network but I do think we will see Smollett get back to work because the narrative has once again changed from victim you know to villain back to victim it's been very confusing as Ryan was saying people don't know what to believe and we may never really know on the street that night in Chicago. But for his fans, for his friends this is a triumphant moment that he can now get back to what he wants to do which is work." Well you should go shi- go flagellate yourself! That's not the word... Go beat yourself up Stelter! That's a horrible horrible explanation of what's happening. That's really really lame very lame let's go back to the uh to what happened

1:16:31 All of a sudden, all media just stopped dead in their tracks. Oh my gosh! There's something happening... Emergency hearing which is I've never heard of this emergency hearing and there it is all charges dropped However, some small caveats. There's no charges but he still has to forfeit his $10,000 bond and community service which he apparently already did before he committed anything any of the 16 felonies which are state felonies level 4 felonies we'll get into that in a moment

1:17:06 And which kind of insinuates that the charges were dropped, but was he guilty? Was he not guilty? Well Smollett came out right after the charges were dropped and here's what he said. Hey everybody I just made a couple notes First of all i want to thank my family My friends The incredible people in Chicago and all over the country and world who have prayed for me Who have supported me Who've shown so much love No one will ever know how much that has meant to me and I will forever be grateful. I want you to know that not for a moment was it in vain, I have been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one. I would not be my mother's son if i was capable of one drop of what I've been accused of." By the way for-I don't know about you John but for a guy uh...and I think certainly for black man America when you say he's basically swearing on his mother's life

1:18:05 You gotta be really careful with that. That, you know when... Oh if I would not be my mother's son if a drop of this were true. That's there some kind of guy code that really irks me like we know he's lying and and I'll get to that in the moment but he's sitting here just lying and saying oh like on my mom on my mom it that's very... You don't do that. That's pussy stuff man. That's no good. I would not be my mother's son If I was capable of one drop of what I've been accused off This has been an incredibly difficult time, honestly one of the worst of my entire life. But I am a man of faith and I'm a man that has knowledge of my history and I would not bring my family our lives or the movement through fire like this. I just wouldn't so i want to thank my legal counsel from the bottom of my heart And I would also like to thank the state of Illinois for attempting to do what's right

1:19:02 Now I'd like nothing more than to just get back to work and move on with my life, but make no mistakes. I will always continue to fight for the justice equality and betterment of marginalized people everywhere So again, thank you for all the support Thank you for faith and thank you to God bless y'all. Thank you very much. All right be very careful son this Thank You god And all this stuff Thank you for faith in my mom and when your lion like that that could that boomerang could come back pretty hard So there were a couple of responses to this. First of all, you heard Brian Stelter like oh well hopefully he can just get back to work we'll never know what happened yeah that's how it will read in five years when Jesse Smollett comes back and all will remember is well the charges were dropped! We won't really remember what happened so let's document it now

1:19:47 The superintendent of the Chicago police who was very vocal about this hoax that Smollett perpetrated, who as an African-American man was very angry about the noose bit and just pulling a racial hate crime hoax. He had a response. to clear my name. I've heard that they wanted their day in court with TV cameras so America could know the truth, but no they chose to hide behind secrecy and broker a deal

1:20:36 to circumvent the judicial system. My job as a police officer is to investigate an incident, gather evidence and present them to the state's attorney. If that is what we did I stand behind the detective investigation and let Mayor Emanuel comment further And the police, this file by the way was never closed or locked or sealed just as a rest record but the file is open available it's in the show notes you can see all the evidence is there that this was a hoax how it was perpetrated. It's pretty extensive So right after the police chief, the mayor Rahm Emanuel he steps up and says something important here. The second is what I would call the ethical cost And the ethical cost is you have as a person who was in the House of Representatives when we tried to pass the shepherd legislation that dealt with hate crimes putting them on the books That President Obama then signed into law To then use those very laws

1:21:31 And the principles and values behind the Matthew Shepard hate crimes legislation to self-promote your career is a cost that comes to all of the individuals Gay men and women who will come forward and one day say they were a victim of hate crime, now will be doubted. Now this casts the shadow of whether they're telling the truth. And he did this all in the name of self-promotion. He used the laws of the hate crime legislation that all of us collectively over years have put on books to stand up for values that embody what we believe in

1:22:06 This is a whitewash of justice. A whitewash of justice, very interesting choice of words particularly when it comes to race crime but Emmanuel makes good point he says this was not any crime that was hoaxed it was hate crime and very specific kind of crimes which are discussed quite often Now, the... is it the attorney for the state? Kim Foxx. Is she the attorney...? What do you call her? I think she's a state attorney. State attorney! She had recused herself because there was a lot of involvement There was a lot of contact between Tina Tchen, T-C-H-E-N She was chief of staff for The First Lady but she was also special assistant to President Obama

1:22:53 And there were text messages back and forth between Kim Foxx, the state's attorney and Tina Tchen. And it was hey you know can you do something? Can we move this over to the feds that would be better they're really trying to figure out a way to get Smollett off the hook. If you see all the different links between everybody interestingly Ram Emanuel's wife is best friends with Tina Tchen, just to make it even more complicated. You have all these different connections and it seemed very obvious... I should mention something because of that connection there and being the wife she's gonna tell Ram what's going on

1:23:35 That would, that's I think is part of his anger. Yes yes that his wife hung him out to dry and the cops and i'll tell you it's not a good idea...I don't know much but you don't mess with Chicago PD It just now it's like not a good idea however what is really going on? What happened here There was a call put in by someone and you have all the players there so you can see obviously this guy needed to be bailed out. Now, was it apart of something else? Is it a coincidence that his lawyer is Garagos, the same guy who was implicated as being part of the Avenatti scam just the day before I don't know if thats related but they got Kimberly Fox on tape explaining what happened And she's very interesting state attorney

1:24:22 If you watch her answering these questions, it's about a 13 minute interview. We only got two clips from her because the essence is in it It looks like she wants to cry the whole time And she has this look of acknowledging, she'll say yeah. Yeah. It's like no other state attorney, you know, states attorneys district attorneys Attorney Generals they have this stoic like the buck stops here kind of thing and she's like a millennial almost I don't know how old she is 36 actually She's like a millennial And she explains it in the following manner. There is an alternative prosecutorial route in the state of Illinois, an alternative which has meant for people who have committed a crime, it's kind of like Los Angeles or San Francisco if it's under certain threshold we can let you off, you don't have to go to jail, you do not admit any guilt, you're not exonerated and you lose your bond

1:25:24 It has a particular name and it's not new, and here she is explaining it. Certainly the Cook County State Attorney's Office has what we call our alternative prosecutions unit where we look at how can we handle cases outside of the criminal justice system? Ways in which we can do what we call pre-trial diversion over the course of the last two years We've had 5700 people go through our pretrial diversion process people who have nonviolent offenses and who have no violence in their background. And so I think when people see this one particular case, it feels like an outlier where in fact is consistent with how we treat people charged with similar offenses with the same background. And so you know what I would tell people

1:26:10 is that we have traditional prosecution models and we also have alternative prosecution models. And based on the facts and the evidence in this case, this was the appropriate model that we used." So this was not a factor of celebrity or privilege which is what people are screaming right now Was there any sort of, I mean obviously it's obvious but just to speak to all the words that are out there right now. Celebrity and privileged was there any role that played in this situation? Mr. Smollett was afforded the same opportunity that anyone in Cook County who had a nonviolent offense and the required background would be able to get we believe you know, that people who have you know, the celebrity of Mr. Smollett don't make up the vast majority of the people who come through our justice system The men and women who qualify for this program are generally people who have little means

1:27:11 The fact that 5,700 people have come through our diversion and alternative prosecution programs speaks to the fact that it's available for everyone. The reality is though that most people don't know who they are and so you don't hear their stories but this is not in any way different than we've treated others who have been charged with similar facts and with the same background So alternative prosecution very interesting It's very interesting and why don't they tell what it call it, what it is? Alternative non-prosecution. But anyway go on well so here's what I don't understand and this is what I think Rahm Emanuel what he said as important and what the interviewer did not ask This is not just some fly by night felony She says the lowest its number four you know it's a fourth felony for class 4 or it's not a big deal but it involved a hate crime

1:28:13 You cannot tell me that the alternative prosecution system allows for people who were involved in a hate crime The hate crime is put on the books specifically to put heavier punishment on any type of crime. If you beat someone up and you pour bleach on them, and you call them the N-word and F word that's a crime but it's a specific type You get extra punishment for being a hate crime So let him off for hoaxing a hate crime is total bullshit But

1:28:51 But it is a let him off. He is not innocent and she does explain that in her own terms This is looking at what remedies were available under the statute And as far as accountability is concerned, the statute allows for people to get this type of outcome even without an admission of guilt But the accountability comes, Mr. Smollett has to forfeit $10,000 in order for him to be able to be in this position and so while he has chosen to use this as an opportunity to maintain his innocence I would reassure the people of Cook County that he would not be in a position that is right now without the assurance at that ten thousand dollars will be forfeited from the community service city is done

1:29:42 And for the others who participate in this program, who may not have admitted guilt but also met their conditions of diversion. This is that is allowable under the statute. There you go. It's allowable under the statutes so no problem. You don't have to admit guilt. You can just go on television and say I'm innocent which he did. You could swear on your mom's life but it's pretty clear that he did it Well, you should also mention that he makes $100,000 per episode on his TV show. And it wasn't enough! So the ten thousand dollars is minor... Yeah. And what does this community service that he already did? Does anyone ever tell us what specifically he's done? Yes yes He worked 18 hours for Jesse Jackson's Rainbow...something...Rainbow Coalition.

1:30:33 But he already did it. That's community service? Yeah, he'd already done... Look so let's put to rest once and for all a couple things white privilege bullshit this is money privilege it's how it works in America we've always had two Americas don't fool yourself don't kid yourself the guys got money he's connected he's connected to everybody he's in pictures with everybody they let him go what he did wrong is I think that his crisis team I don't know, it wasn't Hill and Knowlton because they're smarter than this. They're the ones that called the emergency hearing! Emergency press! Oh we got to talk about it so he could stand there and say I'm not guilty and then have all charges dropped This is the guy who needs to be cancelled Fox needs to cancel the whole show People need to be outraged Where's all the millennials? Cancel, cancel, cancel get rid of him They are too chicken shit to do it actually Even Kamala Harris

1:31:26 Big friends with Jesse Smollett. Big buddy! Does she know? Oh my god, oh! You're a former prosecutor you understand the law What do you think about what happened to Jesse Smollett in Chicago today To be perfectly honest with you Wolf I'm completely confused That's how you start a lie! To be perfectly honest...I'm totally confused Oh, you don't seem to be confused about any other questions you get Smollett in Chicago today To be perfectly honest with you Wolf I'm completely confused I don't understand. I don't know the underlying evidence, there's a sealed document obviously

1:32:02 I don't know. I'm at a loss, I think we're gonna have to leave it up to the judgment of the prosecutor... ...I think we should leave it up to the judgment of the police chief and the mayor of course... ...to give us some better sense of what's going on. And now wait she is gonna double down now! You want to say something? Yeah. She has got one of those laughing tells. Yes she started off with that. Before she answered her original question she laughed. Yep, she did yeah It's not funny. So why is she laughing? Tell, it's a tell. But now what did Rahm Emanuel say about the hate crime?

1:32:41 He said it was a long, it took forever to establish this entire legal precedent and to do what Smollett did is demeaning. It's making impossible for anybody else ever be believed again And he said that it was horrible that he had done this under the hate crime statute That he had taken something about laws were on the books from his buddy President Obama for hate crime Let's see what Kamala Harris, her takeaway from it was. he says didn't even inform him or the police commissioner that they were to drop these charges. But I think there's a point that the mayor made, that is...I would like to emphasize because i'm seeing it around the country and this very real issue which is the seriousness of hate crime and over the last two years we've seen growth in hate crime be it uh... in terms of race, religion anti-semitism instead of understanding

1:33:48 saying hey you know this is really bad now she's taking his words the mayor's words and say yeah hate crime is horrible we have to stop it just like Jess Jussie's innocence. Crime, Islamophobic crime crimes against that are born out of homophobia and transphobia we've seen increase around our country frankly around the world and we cannot play games with it. We have to take it very seriously because it obviously can result in lethal consequences if we don't take it seriously." Alright, well she could never be president of my book. Horrible horrible horrible liars and the lack

1:34:30 Any kind of accountability from any media know that just its stories dropped. It's done in five years He can he may be in trouble you may not even be he might get an NAACP award for an Ebony Award Anything can happen, but this is really messed up this guy is lower than whale poop Jeez, how do you feel? How do you feel? It's really infuriating. Yeah apparently! Well when we see people with elitist privilege get a better shake all the time but to be able to stand there and say I'm not guilty on my mom's life paraphrasing...I'm not guilty of the Lord I thank the Lord for my friends if one drop of me is what's claimed that wouldn't

1:35:24 Let lightning strike you down. Just Jussie Smollett. Or at least the show. Someone has to pay! By the way, Tina Tchen... This is very interesting So again, Tina Tchen is the former... Chief of Staff for First Lady Michelle Obama also special assistant before that to President Barack Obama She has been hired To do the review of workplace culture at the SPLC could we make it any nuttier? Wow, so if these are the people you need to know if you commit a race crime a hate crime Any kind of crime just call Tina Chen. She'll fix it up for ya

1:36:11 She's a fixer. She's a big time fixer. Well, there is something to it. Yes well this was all revealed of course in the Chicago Sun-Times and the same detail that you had it And it's a scandal locally in Chicago right now. Oh, and the cops are pissed man! The cops are irked because they put a lot of work into it at first had to put double duty first They had to investigate the original fake hoax Which was a lot of time spent because as a celebrity and then when they found out that's bull crap Then they had to investigate all that and get these two guys he's too buddies that fake beat him up

1:36:48 And that took a lot of time and effort. They put all this time and effort into this thing, it was the whole bullcrap then they just pulled the rug out from under him I'd be mad too if i was a Chicago cop. Well also look at the cops! You have all the guys half the guys on stage are black African-American black not black they're brown but african-american and they take this they took this case very personally that's why they put so much effort into it It's like, holy crap! They're doing this to a brother? This is no good. That's what's really egregious here We'll see how Jesse Smollett... You better move out of Chicago is my recommendation Tina's from Chicago He said it doesn't go over well Those guys don't mess around Yeah End up with the Boston boot on your car Yes Anyway Smollett backslash done Okay good Okay do you want to discuss... Let me just use a little side note

1:37:46 I just want to play this clip, get it out of the way. And I want to play this as the migrant crisis clip and I want to play it because haven't we just been listening to all the Democrats that have been against a wall and against all this other stuff? There's no crisis! Manufactured crisis there is no emergency. There's nothing. No crisis. This is made up so Trump can build a wall. It's a hoax. Isn't this not been the litany? Completely OK, well let's play this clip. The head of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol is warning that a surge of migrants has pushed the agency to its breaking point Kevin McAleenan confirmed today that 750 agents are being reassigned in order to deal with the influx He said he is hoping to prevent new tragedies But with these numbers with the types of illnesses we're seeing at the border I fear it's just a matter of time

1:38:43 Continued inaction by Congress is going to continue to put people at risk. The vulnerable migrants on the journey in Mexico as they cross our border increasingly hot weather and our own personnel." The agency says that it detained 3,700 migrants on Monday alone that is the highest one day total in a decade. Yeah the southern border there's talking about 100 thousand in the month of April So I thought there's nothing going on down there. Hey, it's just a big number! It's not an emergency What what you what your number that's in a hundred thousand emergencies? It's normal. A million. Yeah, a million a year yeah, I know I know It seems...yeah..I mean if think at a certain point The word would go out like hey You know the El Gringo Presidente He's kind of building that wall

1:39:43 And he's not going to jail, so maybe not go? No. How about get over while the wall is still no there? That's probably what it is. How about just the opposite effect? Yeah that's probably what it is. Go now while stocks last. Go while the getting's good! The Brexit update... Oh yes I have a couple of things on Brexit actually This is hilarious Let's start with this Brexit rejected list on PBS This doesn't even get to the whole what's really going on, but I think it is just kind of a funny clip. The debate over Brexit has divided the British people and political parties for two years Parliament has been unable to come to any kind of consensus Lawmakers today tried to change that by voting on eight different versions of Brexit I'll get to the results in a minute But first listen to today's appeals of unity made by members of parliament

1:40:41 Mr Speaker, this really is five minutes to midnight for this Parliament and for our country. We desperately need to find a way out of this mess Our country has spent two years tied up in knots by the Prime Minister's incompatible red lines After years of paralysing conflict we have a moral duty open our minds this afternoon and reach for a compromise that will allow us to put the interminable Brexit row behind us. It's going to be possible to end the catastrophic shambles of the last six months, we are beginning to talk about actually being able to take decisions founded on some sort of cross-party consensus and some search for a majority that can be sustained

1:41:27 That call for consensus did not mute any mouths in Parliament, but it apparently fell on deaf ears. Because take a look at the results of tonight's votes option one leave the European Union without a deal result rejected options two through five were versions of a softer brexit meaning a closer relationship with Europe those included a frictionless relationship with the EU an option to remain in the EU single market and option 2 negotiate a permanent customs union and option for the Labour Party's alternative described as close alignment with EU. All of those were rejected, Option six revoke Article 50 cancel Brexit entirely rejected and option seven A second referendum like the one that launched this process in 2016 but only after Parliament endorsed the deal result rejected and option eight basically a wish list to the people who want to complete divorce from the EU result

1:42:23 rejected. Now what? What are we gonna do? It's a comedy, aren't they in session as we speak trying to figure it out what the next bit will be? This is the best thing ever And they just reject everything. They can't come to... I don't know, and you know they took her power away that's one thing they voted on earlier in the week. They said neutralize. You suck! We're gonna do the deal and they kicked Theresa May aside she still prime minister kicked her aside so they could do it that's when they came with these eight ideas that they rejected rejected

1:43:04 I don't know, it's just becoming completely out of control. There was an interesting couple of sessions in European Parliament EU President Donald Tusk Do you remember that phony baloney protest with all the pre-made signs? They said they had a million people on the street The protest of what? Oh, to leave. By the way when you say every phony baloney protest... Sorry yeah, when you say phony baloney protests your being redundant! I know the one with the signs that looked like they were handmade but they weren't just last week and that coincided with that online petition

1:43:49 where they had four million or five million people voted didn't vote. They signed the petition online, yeah online which is bullcrap well listen to what that two robots and I can deal with that well this is how it went down in the European Parliament and here let me make one personal remark to the members of this parliament before the European Council I said that we should be open to a long extension if the UK wishes to rethink its Brexit strategy, which would of course mean the UK's participation in the European Parliament elections. And then there were voices saying that this would be harmful or inconvenient for some of you. Let me be clear – such thinking is unacceptable! You cannot betray the 6 million people

1:44:45 who signed the petition to revoke article 50, the one million people who marched for a People's Vote or the increasing majority of people who want to remain in the European Union. that they are not sufficiently represented by the UK Parliament, but they must feel that they are represented by you in this chamber because they are Europeans. Thank you.

1:45:22 They set it all up. It was... I think so, it sounds like what he said, it sounds exactly like that's what happened Yeah they set it up they set up the petition which now has six million people voted oh you can't ignore them this is like a moveon.org petition You kidding me? And and the million people who marched with our made-up phony baloney signs yeah that was good Giefer Hofstadt, he lost his shit And that is the real problem, colleagues. Why there is such a problem in this crisis? Because member states are reluctant to transfer new sovereignty and powers to the European Union and we all know that the only way out of this crisis is a new transfer of powers to the European Union and to the European institutions

1:46:09 Yeah, that's the goal. God it sounds like Adolf Hitler! But he is saying exactly what the problem is You haven't given your power to us That's the problem you idiot I gotta play again this is a...I think this is an evergreen That is a fantastic clip I'll give you Clip of The Day for it too in fact Okay well I played the Clip Of The Day and now play it again Clip of The Day And that is the real problem, colleagues. Why there is such a problem in this crisis? Because member states are reluctant to transfer new sovereignty and powers to the European Union! We all know that the only way out of this crisis is a new transfer of powers to the European Union and to the European institutions.

1:47:12 They should be playing that clip in England as we speak. It's available, I can email it to them Well, if anybody needs it. I will say this that is that's telling it like it is I'm not gonna say the guys not Incorrect and that's what they're up to this what you're trying to do and it's a new German Empire Yes, you know pretty much in you got a guy there with the German accent. I mean come on well He's Belgian but it sounds German same good And then we still have Uri Geller who is still trying to get the do-over vote.

1:48:03 British people now understand what it means. A second referendum would see the decision-making taken back to the public for a final vote on the Brexit situation." The normal British public didn't fully understand what they were voting for and you know that. They do now... Wait, wait let me finish! They would object to you calling them stupid? They do now a referendum would be fairer now Now that most people have a much better understanding of what it actually means

1:48:41 You know, most of the British people including some very smart people didn't fully understand what Brexit actually meant. We're not politicians but many of us have taken a lot more interest in politics since this mess began and you know that too! And now most British voters fully understand what they are voting for." Oh they were stupid I get it even the smart people were stupid they didn't get it They were wrong They didn't, it was lies. How rude? I want Uri Geller to start talking about Trump. God! Can you imagine so he's just an open... So the idea is of course and we talked about this that all these nations should give up their sovereignty which they've spent out I would say at least 1,000 years sometimes more to get to the point where they have sovereignty and they have control over there

1:49:40 over their country and every countrymen. Yeah, just give it to these guys and these Belgians who are really frontman for the Germans. Yes, Jawohl! Just give it all to them and just give up everything. Just say, nah we got no more borders We got no more culture. We got nothing whatever you say goes that's really a that's what we want Well I think the UK didn't but all the other countries did that when they gave up the sovereignty of their national currency Now I think that ship has sailed But the UK was smart and they said now You know will hedge a little bit And well keep our pound

1:50:16 Yeah, they did that. That was a smart thing. Very smart! But what do you think John? We've always said they'll never leave we've been hoping for a second referendum so they could never leave I don't even know if we'll get the people's vote now. I'm worried about the people's vote, the people need to vote! Well they voted down the People's Vote in Parliament which would seem like their opportunity because there are too many no-deal Brexiteers it turns out there is more and more of them in fact as that report that I had a clip from went on and on They said thats closest that the vote was of all votes But that's the one that was almost an even vote, that could easily become passed which is the no deal Brexit. Which means you just turn yourself over into another world organization, a World Trade Organization and let them call the shots on your trading. Right. Which seems like the most logical thing to do and they could have done it from day one! They didn't have to spend two years working out some scammy deal.

1:51:16 Well, there's big forces at work here and I'm sure that the players we see aren't really the ones that are most important in all of this. And I have a feeling there's other forces that were not privy to and don't make it into the media that drive these things. We still have what does The Crown think? What do they got to do with it? They're important even though Americans don't think so. What does The Rothschilds think? Yeah well there's two competing groups right there Well, they're competing but neither one of them are going to benefit from becoming a full-time member of the EU and giving up all British sovereignty especially the Queen. Yeah I mean well how does The Netherlands handle it? They have a king or our Duke or something... Oh oh oh! They've got the King and Queen who I broke bread with them don't be so diminutive about uh... It wasn't diminutive i'm just saying what are they doing about being giving up the sovereignty of the Netherlands? Well they're cashing in of course

1:52:17 Well, I don't think the Queen of England can cash in any more than she's done. Hmm. I don't know the royal houses is Confusing to me how that still works in today's world and you know And that people still believe the lie that they're just ceremonial It's fine Meanwhile there's a lot of worry about we have medicine We have bread We have cleaning ladies and all kinds of things they're very worried about. And the Eurostar, which goes through the channel into France is a big problem and it's not necessarily Brexit but the French as they now have what we would call a... What do you call that? A slowdown? It's not a strike but it's a slow down where you do everything by the book

1:53:08 It's just slowdown. Yeah, well they call it the work to the rules strike in France and it's ongoing as we speak. That's an old union trick. I'm sorry what? It's an old union trick. Well, it's working well! It is the third week of the so-called work to rule strikes they're not real strikes by the French custom officers it basically means that they are applying all the rules very strictly They check all passengers and luggage. They ask questions. They apply the very strict rules that are also in place at airports when you would like to go outside Europe This leads to queues

1:53:47 of but it just went inside and it's now pretty calm. There is only one more Eurostar to leave today, but probably tomorrow morning with the earliest Eurostar the chaos will commence again and Eurostar actually advises their passengers not to travel on the Eurostar at all anymore before 1 April next Monday

1:54:26 Damn. Six hours? Imagine six hours, my goodness. Yeah Tina and I took that train. If you go by the rules if you go by this is the same in American factories or any workplace if you actually go by the rules you can just grind things to a halt yeah I mean I did that when I was an inspector at Trailmobile You Union guy Well, it wasn't just being union. I was because you're an inspector and you go by the rules You can really bring things to a halt mm-hmm And then you could it was along sites the story I've told on this show I think before but go ahead

1:55:04 I'll tell it again. So, I'm an inspector which means you got a different helmet and you work for different... You work within the company but not for any of the people that are working there. Wait a minute! You had a helmet? You have a special helmet with a big stripe down the middle which is like kind of cool. It's hard hat with a big white stripe. Like a white helmet. And then they're like, Inspector! Oh, it's the Inspector Did you have an arm band? No arm bands, unfortunately. So there's one guy who I like to kind of hang out with because he was a comedian And he would be, it was just always cracking. So I spent a lot of time with him and his foreman comes over and chews me out for slowing him down because I should be going out doing my job. It gets this guy to go back to work and I have to go back in cause I'm letting things move along. The guy wasn't doing his job is just...

1:56:01 Talking to me. So I said, okay so i went to the end of the line where everything starts coming off And I started, cause I had nothing else to do. I couldn't talk to this guy so I started red tagging everything every little bump and little up there's a burr Oh there's a there's a brivet that looks like it could be hit a few more times and i would just tag their whole so the whole trailer coming off this line was just tagged with millions of things to fix next one same thing next one same things for the whole life stop dead And so the guy, so I guess he got chewed out because they're not producing anything. Right. Because they're spending all their time trying to fix these minor flaws. Fix your red tags yeah But there were flaws that technically were taggable it wasn't bullshit anybody and normally you let it slide but this is what you do. That's how airplanes fall out of the sky

1:56:55 And so what you do is, well with airplanes you probably be a little more rigid strict. But the guy comes and he begs me... This was just great! He beggs me to stop doing this to him That's great. This guy and he apologized for kicking, chewing out his butt my buddy and all the rest of it anyway I just felt so good about it. I said okay okay we got it and then I just went back to normal inspector So I guess maybe if we got into the podcast union you'd be at the perfect guy for it. I'd be perfect By the way speaking of this podcast union stuff so Spotify bought Gimlet

1:57:35 Was it 250 million dollars and of course the gimlet people who produced all these these fine shows? They're not seeing any of that money So they unionize because they want to get their fair share which The next time I come up with a brilliant idea like, I don't know creating an internet company in an advertising company And I want to take it public five years too early or when I invent podcasting and that's like ten years too early Could you remind me next time I come with a brilliant idea to sit on my ass for 10 years. Um Because man did we miss our damn exit Spotify announcing plans to buy a podcast company Parcast It's the streaming Giants third acquisition of a podcast company within the last two months in terms of the deal We're not disclosed, but Spotify says it expects to spend up to 500 million dollars in total on acquisitions this year. It's interesting Spotify at some point was talking about original programming right they'll get these kind of you know I mean we could have been rolling and oh JCDs done by Pod show yeah

1:58:31 Yeah, we messed that up. What an exit! Well you're way ahead of it though you're too far ahead But that's the problem and here I am doing a podcast in a closet! Well there are a few people who appreciate you being in the closet and they're gonna mention a few of their names including Peter DeJong in Spasm, BC.

1:59:07 $145.76, you know I called him out on this by the way anyway he says jingle he's got some jingle but yeah call my I said your nobody lives in spasm and he admitted that it's true he's not really he's not really in spasm of course not but I told him to pick me up like some photos of the Spazim city limit signs and things like that because I guess he's been through The spasm story stems from the first time I went to Canada years and years ago to speak. It was in Vancouver, and a guy says to me, Hey you want to get a big laugh? Just say Spasms sometime during your presentation. I said what's Spasm he says this town is that's down in BC. And so I did. I said, and then I guess we're going to go to Spasms to get some, you know, I just set it in some somewhere shape or form. And I got, I got a huge laugh. Oh good! Like wow.

2:00:02 Scott Cooper's next on the list from Saugus, California. $140, he got a birthday coming up. Let me see what he has...

Don't like people...I don't know.. I want to be surprised Oh, the gender reveal? You're surprised when they put this... Right there you're surprised. How many times do you need to be surprised?

Sir Malinowski $138.40 that was our special donation for- Ah he even said meow

2:00:59 Meow, meow. It's a special donation for Eating Cat Day Yes I think you need to explain that to the listeners who don't subscribe to the newsletter which you can do from any show page Yeah pretty much it's there somewhere yeah in this day in 1384 The year 1384, I think it was Edward or Richard II of the King of England didn't forbid but he condemned eating cats. And so I started looking into it and there's a lot of cultures that still eat cat. In fact there is like a cat meatball restaurant in Shenzhen China. Cat Meatball? Apparently the Chinese are turning against eating cat

2:01:50 There's also some recipes on the internet. I'm pretty sure I ate cat in Spain once and they sold it to me as rabbit. You think was cat? Yeah, later I heard that that restaurant had been known for selling cat as a rabbit and I remember like this is interesting...rabbit Yeah, rabbit has a very distinct style of texture. Yes and you would notice if it wasn't rabbit. Well cat isn't bad to be honest it's a bit like cobra. You can't fatten them up! Hey keep your cat and dog around people the Armageddon is coming

Not all goats are the same there are many different breeds that are able to clear different heights but many owners of goats build defenses about five feet tall to keep them from never mind I give you this is the answer how high can a goat jump?

2:11:37 It's called a legend for a reason. No one really knows the true story behind the goat, the origin of coffee but one of the greatest stories told is a goat herder from Ethiopia named Kaldi discovered his goats awake and full of energy one night when they should have been sleeping that eaten berries from a coffee shrub when Khalid experimented eating the berries well he had similar invigorating reactions so the goats got all wired up on caffeine What?

The guy buys a restaurant then he has to manage it

2:17:09 Oh, let's see. You want to do Climate Change? Green New Deal? Yeah I think we should open the gate actually We got a lot of clips Oh good well let me see where is the climate gate...we haven't hit that bitch in awhile. Climate Gate there she is come on come on gate why are you not responding to me? To the gate! To the gate! There she is Opening up the climate gate where all the bull crap flows downhill Well, the week kind of began with these hearings... well not hearings but a vote on the Green New Deal in the Senate which was a mockery. Yes it was! But I want to play... The Democrats were irked by the whole thing because what happened was that the Senate

2:17:53 What's his name? Let's step back for one second. Green New Deal, just so everyone understands is a resolution that just it's like uh it's like a globalist thing we just say hey we all agree that this is important right and then from there you can create legislation and say if you recall we signed the green new deal back in the day and we all agreed this was important so that's really all that it is it's just a marker. So Mitch McConnell decided well let's just put this to a vote Let's let's forego what usually is a roadblock. series of committee meetings and investigations and all these things before you put something to a vote. He said, you guys want this thing? We'll just put it for a vote was skip the middleman and see what happens well that Democrats were having none of it they here's the random I wanna play two clips from the Democrats them random Democrat is any event even would have been doing this clip on the Green New Deal discussion and let me preface by saying during

2:18:52 Senate floor debate all the Republicans came up with kind of joke presentations. Kind of, 15 minutes of jokes. You know Reagan on a dragon and they're just just just ridiculing the whole Green New Deal as a piece of crap which it is but the Democrats meanwhile were irked about the way it was presented here's the random guy. The Republican leader is bringing out for a vote on the floor of the Senate this afternoon, the Green New Deal resolution. What the Republican leader however is not doing is allowing us to have any hearings! Any witnesses! Any science! Science!! Any evidence of the massive destruction in our country just over the last two years from fires from flooding 400 billion dollars worth of damage none of that

2:19:51 will ever be heard out here. None of it was heard in a committee because the Republican leader is making a sham out of this process It is not a serious process that this incredible issue deserves The United Nations has made it clear that climate change is now an existential threat to our country Okay, I just want to say two things. One it did not say existential threat to our country That's not...I read it that's not what the report said existential means you'll be extinct that's bullshit Two, I also found this to be quite a shameful charade

2:20:37 This is wasting my time, because I prep for the show. So it's wasting my time that's irritating right there but also it is wasting money It makes a mockery of the political process. I found it offensive personally that the Republicans did that not about the Green New Deal just the fact they would take so much time out of their day, have people working on dinosaur pictures. It was just bullshit. It pissed me off." I would say...I could see your position. What they should've done is not done the mockery and just done the vote because what it resulted in is that there was no...nobody voted for The Green New Deal. All these guys who have big mouths like the next clip which is White House, Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhode Island who's been a constant complainer

2:21:22 and a huge supporter of global warming, come out and then condemn the Republicans for being so glib about the whole thing. I think they could have skipped the glib part. I agree with that. By the way, this Zephyr just went by in a 10-car train. That's three hours late! Did it come through the Eurostar channel by any chance? No, I don't think so but did have some crazy old car attached at the end White House on the Green New Deal. And we are now looking at maps that our coastal agency, that our university and that the scientists at NOAA tell us will create a new face of Rhode Island in the decades ahead if we don't address climate change We turn into an archipelago! We lose enormous amounts of waterfronts and as a small state frankly Mr President we don't have a lot to give back to the ocean This is deadly serious for us

2:22:18 And I join in my colleague's sense of offense that the other side thinks that this is something funny. This is not funny for Rhode Islanders, this is deadly real and you may disagree with us but the one thing I think we are owed on this subject is sincerity and there is nothing sincere about the vote that is going to be held on the Green New Deal This is a vote based on a cartoon version of the Green New Deal that was cooked up by the Koch brothers What? Wait, wait a minute. What version... Is there's a version with the Koch brothers, The Koch New Deal, The new Koch Green New Deal what did I miss? I don't know what he's talking about That's interesting

2:23:05 And it was instructed by the fossil fuel mouthpiece at the Wall Street Journal editorial page. It took only days for the majority leader to hop up and do the bidding of these farces We are owed better than this. Disagree with our measures? Fine, have one of your own! We have five or six different bills and strategies that we're willing to work on This is a time to be serious To be sincere And quit mocking A concern that across the board is recognized as real In fact there's not a Republican here who can't go their home state university

2:23:45 and be told about the truth of climate change. With that, I yield the floor." Well... That's not any standard! Now he- that's for sure So he.. so all these guys came up and made this commentary This was in the House right? This was not in the Senate No no it wasn't in the Senate This was the Senate Yeah, the vote was in this Senate. So they go on and they all virtue signaled and they all wanted hearings when the whole point of a hearing is to take it to the Senate floor so skipping the hearings part is what irked them because they wanted to do all these hearings or they can bring all these people on and virtue signal and just get more publicity for their perspective and so McConnell said now you guys want to do this as you vote yes or no let's just get it out of the way we don't need hearings because

2:24:34 We just skip the hearing. What do we need the hearings for? You take the vote, knowing that these Democrats were gutless and not one voted for it." Well hold on... Interesting to note Professor John PhD in political science who has been listening to show for maybe a decade he emailed me this morning and said voting present is not exactly the same as voting No or Not being there The reason why you want to vote present is that the party could pick up this issue again and have everybody come back, and they could change those who were present at the time. Could change their vote to a yay or nay so it's not entirely without merit to vote present but obviously for all the shouting and existential threat crap we heard you'd expect someone to vote yes but no one did not even one of the Democrats

2:25:31 No, not one yes vote from these guys who are blowhards and White House is one of them. If he's making such a fuss yeah okay so the other side is mocking the whole thing and they're gonna vote yes aren't you going to take a stand or they're gonna vote no? Aren't you gonna take a stand and vote yes so you can be on the record? Not one did! And they're not gonna come back and vote yes I mean they could but that's not gonna happen The whole thing it just I agree with you on the part that it's a waste of time. Doesn't have to be such a waste of time that it was, but it took up a whole day and it was... A lot of Republicans like this guys like Ben Shapiro were sniggering over the whole idea and they thought it was just great. Here's the thing that's sad.

2:26:18 AOC is a great communicator and it's too bad she doesn't have a message because her rebuttal to all this bullcrap, which I'll play if we have time after your clips. She was communicating something that had nothing to do with global warming but she was speaking to the kids who were out there you remember this school strike they've no idea about carbon dioxide they're talking about dirty water dirty air plastic on the planet They don't even understand any of this. They only read headlines, they're poorly informed It's too bad because AOC does have a means to communicate She's been bulletproof in a certain way if only she could have a message that made sense she would be worth something I mean you only if they wrote her a message that made sense yes And and I have thoughts about who's behind her In fact I think

2:27:11 It's very possible that there are some big oil behind her in the not that she knows about it But there's a very simple reason for this and then I'll shut up when you have renewable energy in place such as Germany What happens so they they call they closing down nuclear? They've gone as much as they can on Wind and solar which is very inefficient, it's quote-unquote free but it's very inefficient because there's no way to store it. So what happens when the grid needs extra energy? They fire up the gas plants so the increase in cost

2:27:56 and direct revenue to the big oil guys is working beautifully. You'll see Shell, and Exxon, and all these guys... Chevron Oh yes please we're all in on renewable energy they love the hell out of it because... Except nuke Well no of course nuke has you can't have nuclear because that would ruin their deal The gas people make out like bandits Yeah sorry I know what you're saying. The whole thing, if you put it all together in a big bundle and you have the fact that nuclear power is forbidden... That only benefits the oil companies when all is said and done!

2:28:39 Because in Germany now, they have to give away free energy when the wind is blowing really hard because it overloads the network. They're like shit Portugal take our energy because otherwise we're going to blow up the network and then when its not enough they gotta switch on- they gotta fire up the gas plants! And that's why the cost goes up. It's a bonanza for us, really! We're the premier supplier of gas now. It's a bonanza! So people have no idea... I think that there is unwittingly probably oil money behind this whole AOC thing because it's working out swimmingly

2:29:15 I'm glad you got that in because this next series of clips kind of have a point to be made and i think it's worth listening. I cut this down as much as possible, this was a drastic measures series of clips taken from a very long presentation on PBS NewsHour It's showing some of these nut balls out there that want to seed the stratosphere with sulfur dioxide and calcium carbonate and different things to cool the planet down. Not even discussing, does every country in the world want us or some one company to be

2:29:55 screwing around in the upper atmosphere with you do determination. I don't know, but let's play this series again for clips. This is clip number one as we heard there has been some debate on Capitol Hill about how to tackle climate change. But the expectation is that very little legislation is going to pass in the foreseeable future and yet climate changes impact is growing around the world The federal government's own assessment found climate change is already costing the U.S. hundreds of billions of dollars and having a major effect in parts of the country. Some researchers argue, the problem is getting so serious that it's time to start exploring ideas that have long been seen as far out and potentially loaded with other consequences. But these scientists say the times demand new approaches to lower the Earth's temperature

2:30:46 Miles O'Brien is back with this story. It's part of our Breakthroughs reports for our regular series on the Leading Edge of Science. Engineer David Keith has run the numbers on climate change, and for him, the bottom line presents a stark reality. Even if we eliminate emissions, we simply stop the climate problem getting worse. We don't make it any better The planet is already in trouble. There's too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and human civilization is doing precious little about it as you can see here these trend lines have a lot of inertia so

2:31:23 So even if we stopped using all fossil fuels tomorrow, there's still so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that the problem will persist for decades. We do need to drive emissions to zero but we also need to reduce the risk from the CO2 that is in the air. So here's this guy who also owns a company that sucks carbon dioxide out of the air and then blends it with hydrogen to make fuel Um, is got these ideas of seeding the upper atmosphere. And I've heard these ideas for at least 20 years. Yes. They're all dangerous. You don't know what's going to happen. They do discuss some aspects of this, but as we go to the end of it, there's a little gotcha that I think is a real kicker here that will make certain that none of this ever takes place hopefully let's start with

2:32:12 Clip 2. This should lower global temperatures by reflecting sunlight away from our planet. It sounds like an idea hatched by a James Bond villain, and David Keith is keenly aware of that. Geo-sharing seemed like a bit of crazy idea but there was a taboo I think taboos are unhealthy my view was we should understand it better to see just how crazy really is. Taboos are unhealthy

2:32:52 I like that he puts that in there. Let's go to clip three. And maybe, just maybe to begin to think about mimicking volcanoes by injecting reflecting particles into the stratosphere? That's a terrible idea but people are beginning to give it some attention Yeah it's really changing suddenly many more of the kind of environmental leadership and sort of science policy thought leadership take this seriously It really feels very different even from a year ago But the devil, as always, lurks in the details. One of the big questions could it make the climate worse in some places better than others? It has all kinds of unclear ramifications we don't know what the regional changes and rainfall patterns might look like That's just one at the possible unintended consequences have solar geoengineering

2:33:39 Other questions? How would it affect agriculture, how would any aerosol interact with the gases already present in the stratosphere and could there be some unwelcome byproducts. Yeah he's spraying us like bugs I wonder what... But the reason that this is not going to happen is kind of revealed in the last clip. ScopeX is a small-scale experiment designed to test some of the unintended consequences of a really big idea, but perhaps the greatest unintended consequence of geoengineering might be in the realm of psychology if we know we can do it will we use it as an excuse not to reduce our fossil fuel emissions?

2:34:25 For the PBS NewsHour, I'm Miles O'Brien. on the fossil fuel business, the coal industry and automobiles that you can drive around freely because you can get gasoline which is a great source of energy. If the idea is to get rid of all that because there seems to be an underlying idea to get rid of all of that we want to have electric cars, do this one or do that if that's the real idea then this is a bad idea because this doesn't do that

2:35:09 So this will get nowhere because of that one little gotcha, which is that will this actually cool things enough so we can just keep using fossil fuels like maniacs? And I think that's really the whole gotcha on this. That's why I think the whole thing is a big giant fraud. Well you know my feeling is they've been testing this solar geoengineering for a long time You can tell me they haven't, but I see it. My eyes do not lie! I'm seeing stuff in the air. There's ample... just what is this? Stop Spraying Us documentary They've been testing this for a while

2:35:48 So I'm just waiting for someone... But what you're thinking is they're not testing it to change the climate so much. No, they're testing it as a means of control. Yeah spray us like bugs and keep us docile! It's an added benefit and its kind of binary You add the spraying to 5G Oh yeah And then have you seen this massive push for vaccination? There's a big push going on right now. We have story after story of horrible things happening. Mumps outbreak at Temple! Late word Tuesday on an expanding mumps outbreak at Temple University I think we have a handle on it but as Dr. Ailes said, we're probably going to see another wave coming The numbers have gradually increased over the last month City health officials say as of this afternoon there are 105 cases 18 have been confirmed

2:36:40 A balance of 87 remain probable based on symptoms. You can imagine that social activities that university students typically do, like party going and those kinds of things... I like the guy! He's a university administrator you know things that people like to do like you know party going and having sex and stuff yeah you're in school to learn but okay Our modes are transmission from this virus so we think has been responsible for much of the transmission that we've been seeing. Mass vaccination clinics are set for Wednesday and Friday on campus! Mass vaccination clinics? Wait, I didn't get the school because of the mystery but the way he talks... Is this from Chico State? It's Temple. Arizona. Temple? Because I would think it's Chico State or Arizona ASU is another one of these schools. Temple is in Arizona isn't it

2:37:37 No, Temple is... no. It's in the middle of the back east somewhere. Oh, Temple? Where's Temple? Philadelphia! Philadelphia. Philadelphia. Philly. Yeah, this isn't... yeah. This isn't the end they have 18 conferred cases of the months ladies and gentlemen but no mass vaccination clinic immediately get your shots slave clinics are set for Wednesday and Friday on campus health officials say close to 1 000 people have already received booster shots we're really trying to encourage folks to come out booster shots this is new booster shots not just you know it's a booster we're trying to target some more high-risk groups

2:38:13 trying to get folks from the residence halls here, student athletes just trying to target as many students as we can. To come on in and get the vaccination people talking about this a lot? Yeah right now yeah do you know anybody who's been affected not really nobody around me has been affected temple students have largely gone about their education Now, this is one of the students but listen there's an end to this guy. That sounded like... okay There's an end to him. Not really nobody around me has been affected Temple students have largely gone about their educations unaffected by the illness But well aware of the story circulating far beyond campus about the situation This man here knows he's current with his shot Do you have a booster? Yeah Alright so your all set I'm good yeah i told my friends too You know we gotta go out and get it done

2:38:57 They listening to you yeah, they better cuz I'm not gonna be hanging around them with the you know this is so interesting To me. You got your booster shot So you're good to go but you're not honest say that these university students that are speaking yes That's a university student okay Go on so he went to the mass vaccination clinic Got his booster shot But still won't hang around with his friends because if they're not vaccinated won't hang around with him Because I guess the booster doesn't work these things This is... I don't know what's going on. Let's not even discuss this. I agree with you, this is screwy! Let's go to Rockland County. Parents like Movita Harvey are scared It is scary it is scary living in a county with the worst measles outbreak in the nation So we had mumps in in Philly and now this is Rockland County now We have measles for eight month old baby boy too young to get the vaccine because of that this outbreak the pediatrician they want to even like give the shots a little early and that's disturbing to me so

2:39:58 The pediatricians are even saying, oh don't worry about your kid being too little too young. Just give the shot to the kid anyway! Yeah that is disturbing. I've been keeping him home since then he doesn't really go out and come midnight health officials say parents of unvaccinated kids will have to do the same this is a public health crisis and it's time to sound the alarm Rockland County Health officials taking a drastic step the first of its kind in the US barring unvaccinated children that anyone under the age of 18 from public places for 30 days, including schools stores restaurants places of worship and public transit. They can go outdoors to public parks. There's a lot of anger about this as is a huge Orthodox Jewish community

2:40:43 Rockland County, and this state of emergency which means children cannot be in public places including public places of worship for the next 30 days conveniently falls during Passover. So there's, you know now there are people saying what is this anti-semitism? What's going on. I think it's a very good idea because we're all exposed and we have young children We have grandchildren and i wouldn't want them exposed most of the 153 cases since october Have been in the orthodox jewish community where some parents have refused to vaccinate their kids or cooperate with health officials so

2:41:22 Having these and there's many of these stories outbreak outbreak here outbreak there, and it's all mm Are its measles mumps? rubella rubella I don't know. I mean, I just question all this booster stuff and... I'm wondering about it too because there's supposed to be a herd immunity with all the people that get those shots anyway so nobody should be getting any of these diseases and then somebody gets the shot and next thing you know they have the disease which bothers me. Yeah that's... And then you have that guy who is probably accurate when he says well

2:42:00 the booster, but I don't want to say it'd be around any of my friends who have because he probably has some sense that the booster doesn't do anything. Yeah even though you condemned him It's just something you're right? I think you're onto something. This is now your thing But i'm not sure well I've always been on the vaccines ever since we learned that all the big pharmaceutical companies I saw this as the big revenue driver. Now, this is eight years ago maybe that we first saw this presentation? You found an annual report or a PowerPoint. It was one of those financial conferences for pharmaceutical companies and they present as a PowerPoint. Yeah, especially now that they have the law changed so they're not liable for anything if they make the worst crap to shoot people up with it and then go die... So what? I just don't like that- anyway there's 18 confirmed cases you know these other cases all within mostly within

2:43:01 And I'm okay with, hey you know if you want to get your shot. If you want to get a flu shot and yeah that's fine but this mandatory and your kid can't be anywhere in the emergency that the constant oh my god we're all gonna die is crazy keep your kids in door get them a booster! You know? That urgency bothers me why do that? That makes people worried then it sets them up for other things I think Know it's just very bothersome to me the way that's rolling out and everyone gets all freaked out. Oh mumps My favorite one chicken was an in your report, but that's going on too. Oh, it sits out there It's out there so which makes no sense I tell you what why don't we? Bring this show to an end. That's a perfect place to end We're all gonna die get your shot

2:43:53 Yeah, get shot. Get your shot! No, get your shot I want to thank in advance Chris Kooling, Jesse Coyne Nelson Sir Seat Sitter for the end of show ditties which we have lined up for you And I want to thank everybody for tuning in once again to our deconstruction a we will return on Sunday with another Full-blown episode for you. Please support the work at Dvorak org slash na and coming to you from Sunday coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas in the capital of the drone star state It's FEMA region number six and all the governmental maps if you're looking for it in the five by nine Cludia Which sounds pretty good in the common law condo in the morning everybody? I'm Adam curry

2:44:43 And from Northern Silicon Valley where I did get to witness this effort go by with an additional car at the end Which was one of those private cars that had a dome on it. I'm John C Dvorak We return on Sunday with another episode right here on no agenda until then adios mofos and such But that constant reinvigoration of hope, determination, optimism and courage to make the future better for the next generation. Those are American traits and these newcomers make America more American." That was the scene in California's Mojave Desert five years ago... our historic first view of the newcomer ship.

2:45:36 Theirs was a slave ship carrying a quarter million beings spread to adapt and labor in any environment But they've washed ashore on earth with no way to get back to where they came from And in the last five years, the newcomers have become the latest addition that the population of Los Angeles We welcome in Isis That's true. Energy can be transmitted, energy can be received and the collective energy of people who want to achieve something is massive! That... that's true. Oh brother. Speaking to the grass speaking to the grass right here in our filming location I don't wanna do it and you can't make me

2:46:28 That's true. Ah, so the grass is having that reaction? You can't make me reaction! That's true that's what this feeling is. Cool beans onward ho let's talk to the trees. The plants and the shrubs in the trees... That's true! That's true! That's true! That's true! That's true! That's true! That's true! to this tree. Are you willing, are you willing to be a portal? We need to start with the trees before we get to the grasses because apparently the grasses think that the trees are cool and the trees don't apparently think that the grasses are cool The grasses they didn't think it was cool and they said basically I don't want to do it! You can't make me

2:47:16 Maybe we'll ask this tree, are you aware of the work we were doing this morning talking to the dead trees in the park? Let's ask this maple. Hey! Hey would you like to do this? Let's start with that pine because those were dead pines hey friend and the bay tree said oh no I didn't do that i didn't do that all right let's start with the pine maybe all the pines speaking to the pines hey friends pine trees Are you willing? And to this oak tree, are you aware of Triple Oak out back the really big oak trees the huge Oaks of this yard They're doing it but you can be the leader of this front yard. Well I don't know Pine Tree ate your lunch on that But you can jump on the bandwagon and not being one of losers running around saying wait for me

2:48:02 They said, are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure at least three times we said yes. Yes. That's true. That's true. That's true. That's true. That's true. That's true. I have an aunt that is wandering around on the mic. You want to fry him? This is Ant 33, I come without warning. I might deconstruct even in the morning Don't be scared, I don't wanna alarm ya' I'll probably just say you got karma It's Ant 33, raps for no agenda Got some place that I wanna send ya Sunday and Thursday tune in for the show Cause when it's over it's adios mofo I have an ant That is wandering around on the mic Rapper Ant 33 ain't no agenda Dropping some truth

2:49:00 It's not the third dimension, they've made freaking deals with interdimensional aliens. Okay. And notice that the media never attacked him for that because that is the truth. Maybe this is true. The 5G! G! The 5G! You mean 5G? I'm mad at Trump for allowing 5G to come in 5G in all the studies, LA Times calls it massive mutation and cancer. It literally rattles your DNA apart! All of our kids are under attack. You mean 5G? I'm mad at Trump for allowing 5g to come in. G5G Listen here's the deal right now. 5G Wapo wapo 5G wapo wapo We're gonna set up a world government we're going to slowly titrate the dose and poison the public dumb them

2:49:59 dumb them down, put electromagnetic radiation out with 5G that scrambles their DNA lowers their IQ. We're going to cause mass mental illness and a controlled societal collapse that will then be organized and controlled in the mop-up crew by robots controlled by the globalist programmers who believe with the offworld entities they are communicating with they are going to be given the operation to upload and be in that larger kind of board cube system Listen to me! They tried to recruit my dad, to a DARPA program. The CIA is testing on cell towers, uh wavelengths to calm the public during crises that I have talked to army generals commanding generals major generals general-generals The 5G! Listen to me! CIA everybody and they're all 5g!
