About this episode

President Donald Trump declared the United States immigration system is full during a visit to the California border, sparking a media firestorm over his rhetoric. The administration is currently pressuring Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to increase deportations of Central Americans while threatening auto tariffs that have already caused nine-hour shipping delays in El Paso. These geopolitical tensions coincide with reports that Ecuador may soon expel Julian Assange from its London embassy, potentially clearing the way for a high-stakes U.S. extradition battle.

Squirrel Mail Software Updates and Austin Water Boil Mandate

The program opens with a discussion regarding the current status of Squirrel Mail software, debunking claims that the system is defunct. Heavy torrential rains in Austin, Texas, have triggered concerns over a potential water boil mandate due to silt in the Colorado River system. The infrastructure of new purification plants is questioned as they appear to struggle with recent weather events.

00:00 This is not an opening segment by the way. Preparing for another foil mandate and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state here in downtown Austin, Tejas in the Cluedio in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where I'm referring the old squirrel males to the new squirrel male I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning! No, no, no, wait. You can't tell me there's a new squirrel male. This is simply not possible. A new squirrel male.

00:41 Yeah, I told you this last time we reported on Squirrel Mail. Oh, okay. I wanted to debunk the bullcrap that you've been feeding the public on this particular show saying that the Squirrel Mail system is dead. Not quite what I said, but okay. Yes, so it's good. What are the differences John between the old squirrel male and the new squirrel male? Well, you'd have to experience it and have to be a squirrel male connoisseur to actually appreciate it. Nothing I can explain. Yeah, I think we're gonna go into another boil mandate, water boil mandate here in Austin. Yeah, it's been, yeah, we've had torrential rains.

Ronald McDonald House Bandana Ball Weather Disruption

A report describes the 30th annual Ronald McDonald House "Bandana Ball" charity event in Austin, which was disrupted by severe weather. A local Fox News meteorologist acting as MC had to evacuate the tent mid-event, impacting the high-stakes celebrity auction. Prizes at the event included luxury hunting trips to Argentina.

01:21 The past 48 hours and I've just looked at the... Just now? You just had rains? No, the past 48 hours. Really? Torrential, yeah. I haven't heard about this. Last night was the 30th annual, the big Ronald McDonald House charity thing, the bandana ball. It's outside under a big tent. Oh, this is not good. Yes, it happens almost every single year. And the funny thing is the MC this year was a guy from Fox News, local Fox affiliate Scott. I forget his last name. He's the weatherman. And he's on stage, he's like, well people we're gonna wrap this up because this doesn't look good. Everyone out of the tent within five minutes, you know, mayhem.

02:11 And now, yeah, it's really harsh because it, you know, they have auction and stuff, celebrity. Oh yeah, that's terrible. Can they redo it? No, no, not really. So, I mean, they got through it, but it's not the same. You know, if you're kind of rushed, then you can't jack people up into spending more on some trip to Argentina to go dove hunting. Which was a serious prize. Was it really? Yeah, definitely. They got some money people. Well, you know, Austin. It's Texas, baby, Texas. So yeah, so just looking at the town lake here, which is part of the Colorado River system, and it has the exact same brown silt stuff floating in it as the last time we had or when we had our boil mandate for a week.

CHAPTER 03 / 38 Discussion

GPS Week Rollover and Russian Signal Jamming

The technical implications of the GPS week rollover are examined, drawing parallels to Y2K-era consultant scams. Reports indicate that GPS signals frequently malfunction in proximity to Vladimir Putin's flight paths, suggesting active Russian jamming. Russia continues to develop its own independent satellite navigation system to bypass Western reliance.

02:59 Because the was it now 700 million dollar purification plants don't work Would they use before the seven hundred dollar or seven hundred million dollar purification plant? What were they using? Oh the old ones that seem to work These are new these have been built in the past five years Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we'll see. I'm just I'm just Prognosticating because I can't I don't really know but just looking at like oh, I've seen this before. Oh Yeah, we got flash floods, everything. It's very Texas. Very, very Texas. And today is GPS again! I guess it was yesterday. Did we miss it? We missed GPS again. Remember in the older GPS systems were supposed to not be able to roll over with a new date?

03:47 Why and so they wouldn't work we went through this on the show? Oh, you don't remember no I don't because this is the sort of thing I totally ignore because I know it's always Yeah, exactly we talked about why 2k and the whole thing yeah exactly hold on Where was it there always scams to get some consultants and make some extra gigs? Yeah, well as far as I know nothing nothing happened except wherever Putin's flying oh There's a big article I was reading today. Whenever Putin is flying somewhere, GPS never seems to work right. Yes, that's exactly... That's why the Russians are putting their own system up. Yes. It's up, I think. It's up and running, isn't it? Well, maybe it's the Russian system that's not working. No, they jam it. They jam whatever they can. Because, you know, that's what missiles work on. It's kind of handy to have that GPS thing. Anyway, so it seems like everything is still working. And what did we see?

CHAPTER 04 / 38 Discussion

Donald Trump Border Visit and Country is Full Statement

President Donald Trump visited a border section in California, declaring that the United States immigration system is "full." Media outlets like ABC, CBS, and PBS are criticized for their framing of his remarks, specifically the use of the word "claim" regarding the border crisis. The rhetoric is compared to historical anti-immigration movements in the Netherlands.

donald trump· border wall· immigration· jim acosta· asylum seekers

04:48 What did we say this past couple of days? More stupidity. Like what? Well, Trump was pretty stupid. What did he do this time? Well, so he went to the wall and or whatever... He's been going to the wall for the American public for the last two years. Whatever refurbished fence we've got going on there. And let me just see, where is this? Trying to find my, uh, huh, how did I miss this one? And he was quoted as saying something. Hold on a second. I think I have the quote. Yeah.

05:33 Let's see what we got here. Okay, here I go. Well, I have two quick examples. One from ABC. Good morning, President Trump visited a small border city in California to tour the first piece of his border wall. And he came with this blunt message to migrants that this new taller border wall means stay out. Our country is full. Our area is full, the sector is full. I can't take you anymore, I'm sorry. Can't happen. So turn around. That's the way it is. And here's the CBS version. The president said he has a message for those coming or thinking about coming to the U.S., including those who say they are being persecuted in their own countries and are seeking asylum.

06:15 We can't take you. Our country is full. Our area is full. The sector is full. Can't take you anymore. I'm sorry. So that's pretty much what the headline is. Trump says, our country is full, which has shades of anti-Semitism, hating Jews, you know, all kinds of, oh yeah, oh yeah, it's everywhere. Oh, you say your country is full. This was a thing in, In the Netherlands when the migration started to happen Pim Fortuyn around 2000, Pim Fortuyn had not been assassinated yet. He was saying the Netherlands is full. We have we have too many, we can't take anymore. We had 14 million now we have 17 million. We can't have any more immigrants. It's full. Racist. It's like oh how can you say this? There's something about saying your country is full that is very offensive to many.

07:06 The problem... Well, Jim Acosta retweeted the country's full thing on Twitter and I retweeted him saying, Acosta supports the president. Well, here's the problem. This is not the actual message. Trump gave the message Then messed it up like a doofus with this country is full business because he nailed it the first time Here's what he said in context. It's a colossal surge and it's overwhelming our immigration system And we can't let that happen. So as I say, and this is our new statement, the system is full. Can't take you anymore. Whether it's asylum, whether it's anything you want, it's illegal immigration. So it's perfect. This is our new thing that we're saying. You just have to listen to what he says. This is our new thing that we're saying. The system is full.

08:02 So he says the system is full, it's perfect, he got it, he nailed it, but then... Whatever it's, uh, anything you want. It's illegal immigration. Can't take you anymore. We can't take you. Our country is full. The area is full. The sector is full. Can't take you anymore, I'm sorry. Can't happen. So turn around. That's the way it is. What an idiot. He really... This is his own doing now. Eh, he'll blow over. Let's hear what PBS had to say about this. This is Trump vs. Mexico, PBS. President Trump used his speech to the Republican-Jewish coalition's annual leadership meeting in Las Vegas today to repeat his claim that there is a crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border and that asylum seekers should be turned back.

08:52 I want to make people aware of the use of the term or the word claim. Yes. Okay. And we restart? When you're reporting, it's a bloated term to say claim. He claims, you have different ways of going. He says that this and this and this, which is legitimate reporting, he claims Blah blah blah is slanted reporting and Hari usually doesn't, he's pretty objective but this was a, obviously it was written by somebody else anyway. Why is this slanted if you use the term claim? Because it has the implication that it's bull crap. Oh, okay. So you claim you're gonna be on at 9am.

09:36 As a book, I'm quoting Adam Curry. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. You didn't say claim. You said claim. That's a different word. Well, if I said Adam Curry says he's going to be on 9 a.m. to do the show. Adam Curry claims he's gonna be on 9 a.m. Yeah, you're right. Yes. Well never report that like that about me, okay? Stop that. President Trump used his speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual leadership meeting in Las Vegas today to repeat his claim that there is a crisis. That's even better to repeat his claim.

10:13 Yeah, that's a doubling down of oh, he's full of crap. Yeah saying it over and over I got it today to repeat his claim that there is a crisis at the US-Mexico border and that asylum seekers should be turned back And I told my people yesterday our country's full. We're full our systems full our country's full. He's doing it again. Our country is full Okay, so wow, so I didn't hear about this. So he messes up at the border. The headline is our country's full. He's like, I'll run with that. That sounds pretty good. Exactly. That's exactly what happened. Oh my goodness. You're moaning and groaning about it is his whoa, this is good.

10:52 We're full. Our system's full, our country's full. Can't come in. Our country is full. What can we do? We can't handle anymore. Our country is full. Can't come in. I'm sorry. It's very simple. Although the president backed off of a threat to close the border earlier this week, he told the crowd of supporters that he would do it if Mexico does not block migrants. Unfortunately, Democrats have refused to close immigration loopholes. That's really what it's all about. And again, Mexico's apprehended 1400 people yesterday, 1000 people the day before. They've never done this, never to the extent. And I appreciate it. I appreciate it. But if they don't do it, I'm going to close the border or I'm going to do tariffs on the cars made in Mexico. They took 30 percent of our car business. By the way, I was in here when that happened. Okay. I used to complain about it as a civilian. I complain. I said, What the hell is going on?

CHAPTER 05 / 38 Discussion

Mexico Border Tariffs and Shipping Lane Delays

President Trump threatened Mexico with auto tariffs and border closures if migrant apprehension does not increase. Reports from the KJZZ Fronteras Desk indicate that partial shutdowns are already causing nine-hour wait times for shipping in El Paso and Juarez. The logistical reality of daily border crossers for work and school is questioned.

10:13 Yeah, that's a doubling down of oh, he's full of crap. Yeah saying it over and over I got it today to repeat his claim that there is a crisis at the US-Mexico border and that asylum seekers should be turned back And I told my people yesterday our country's full. We're full our systems full our country's full. He's doing it again. Our country is full Okay, so wow, so I didn't hear about this. So he messes up at the border. The headline is our country's full. He's like, I'll run with that. That sounds pretty good. Exactly. That's exactly what happened. Oh my goodness. You're moaning and groaning about it is his whoa, this is good.

10:52 We're full. Our system's full, our country's full. Can't come in. Our country is full. What can we do? We can't handle anymore. Our country is full. Can't come in. I'm sorry. It's very simple. Although the president backed off of a threat to close the border earlier this week, he told the crowd of supporters that he would do it if Mexico does not block migrants.

11:47 The president spent part of yesterday at the U.S.-Mexico border pointing out a rebuilt section of wall completed last fall and claiming it as part of the wall he's been demanding be built since his 2016 campaign. For more on the president's visit and what's next, Michel Marisco, senior editor for public radio station KJZZ's Frontierist desk joins us now via Skype from Tucson, Arizona. Thanks for being with us. You know, right now we have the president kind of backing off of the let's seal the border completely threat. But what happens each time the president says something like this to the local businesses, the residents that actually live along the border? Two things happen. First, there are partial shutdowns. Let's start there. Those started at about the same time that he initiated the first threat about a week and a half ago.

12:34 What's been happening is they have been partially closing down certain shipping lanes between the US and Mexico and Otoe Mesa, and let's say El Paso and Juarez, and then here in Los Angeles. Those are already adding hours of wait time, for example, in El Paso, upwards of nine and ten hours of shipping just waiting in Mexico. I've always wondered about this, you know, there's always this, there's this claim that many people traverse the border daily to go to school, to go to work, to pick up their kids. Is there some fast lane or is it just not that bad or do the people get up really early? Is it true at all? Well, that's a question I never even considered because I know people have to go there daily so it's a great nine hours to get to a job. Yeah, that sounds unlikely. That's why I wonder is there a fast pass, you know?

Mexico Deportation Policy and George Soros Migrant Funding

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador faces pressure to increase deportations of Central Americans on behalf of the U.S. Speculation arises regarding George Soros and the Open Society Institute providing debit cards to migrants via a partnership with Mastercard. The discussion touches on the history of Mexican border enforcement and the physical nature of the current border barriers.

13:26 Is there a quick way in? I don't know. We must have somebody that out there that listens to the show that knows exactly what's going on in that regard. Thanks by the way for slipping that Windows alert sound in the clip. That's pretty cool. That was you wasn't it? No, that was in your clip. Was your machine acting up? No, that was in your clip. Huh. Yeah, and I as I'm sure hundreds others, you know, did an alt-tab to see what the hell was... Wait, what's going on? Yeah, it's true. It's true. No, please play part two of this clip. OK, let's see about the Mexican government's response to all this. So Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has has played a very careful role in the first case. He's he's been somewhat dismissive. He said that he didn't believe President Trump would actually shut down the border. He was right about that.

14:22 But he has also been boxing himself into a corner where even though he continues to give small concessions, for example, there is at least a suggestion that Mexico has been increasing deportations of Central Americans on behalf of the US. Every time that they give a little bit of acquiescence there, the criticism has been coming in that the US just demands even more from Mexico. KJZZ in the front terrace desk is Michelle Marisco joining us via Skype today from Tucson. Thanks so much. So what did we learn from this? Well, I mean, I didn't learn much, but I did learn something or at least it triggered a thought. Do you remember the, during the Obama administration, people, there were Mexicans were pouring into the United States.

15:12 There was this claim that, well, when Mexicans see they're coming over from Guatemala and Central America, they beat them up and kick them in the nuts and then throw them back and deport them. They don't even let them get to Mexico. And that was during the era when it was Mexicans that were sneaking into the United States, not any of these Central Americans. Whatever happened to that old policy? They're not beating anybody up and kicking them in the nuts and throwing them back across the border. But who was doing that? Who was beating them up? The Mexicans. The Mexicans supposedly had the harshest penalties for border jumpers. And it was used by the right wing, all the talk show guys and everybody else were using that as this is what Mexico does, this is what Mexico does. As some sort of, I don't know what we're supposed to do that too, I'm not sure. But it was like exemplified, the Mexicans were harsh with anybody who crossed the border. And what happened to that? That probably ended with George Soros.

16:12 Pulled out his wallet. Oh, I could be I mean he gave those he gave the he partnered with MasterCard to hook everybody up who needed one with a credit card or debit card And he's been handing that out to migrants. He one of his Open Society Institute subdivisions Yeah, so just yeah, I don't know it's possible Yeah, it's the whole thing is if Trump looks pretty sad. He just he looks he looks sad in front of whatever I mean was that a wall or was that a screen in front of some slats? I have no idea. What the hell was it? It's like this is this is not you know my favorite thing is this heard there's another little Diddy that goes across oh well he's showing off Obama's wall and claiming it's his own yeah

16:59 Then I'm thinking to myself, wait a minute, why is Obama, what was he doing building a wall? What was the point of that if it's no good? No, we all know what they, we all know how that, the history. We all know that everyone said yes, put in a, well, it wasn't wall, it was fence. I guess wall was all troubling back then even. Wall, fence, it doesn't make any difference. Fence. These people are all full of it. Well, the Trump rotation spins around very quickly and I guess we're now back to taxes. So now it's, oh, we have to get his taxes, his taxes is key, it's really important. I mean, it started with taxes. So now we're back to that. But now there's another little thing going on. I didn't connect it until I heard this report this morning. What do we not have?

CHAPTER 08 / 38 Discussion

Media Freedom Initiative and Amal Clooney Special Envoy

The UK and Canada have launched a "Media Freedom" initiative to protect journalists from arrest and violence. Amal Clooney has been appointed as a special envoy to chair an independent legal panel for the campaign. The initiative's sincerity is questioned in light of the ongoing pursuit of whistleblowers and the International Criminal Court's lack of recognition by major powers.

jeremy hunt· canada· amal clooney· media freedom· journalists

28:42 He's a New Zealand citizen. He doesn't belong to you. Right. Well, okay. So we know now. Thank you. There we are again The US will request the UK will gladly comply. Oh, yeah, that's that's the bottom line. All right Well poor Julian, I hope Pamela Anderson visits him more often. No, he deserves it Meanwhile Snowden still stuck in Russia. Well since we're on that there's a new group a new initiative and It's called the media freedom. This is being organized I think this is in the UK even though it may be a UN initiative. Here's Jeremy Hunt Talking about the mission the UK together with Canada has decided that Democratic countries need to stand together To make it an international taboo

29:38 of the highest order to murder, arrest or detain journalists just for doing their job. And we can only do this if we work together as countries with shared values. Yes, so this would pertain to Julian Assange, seeing this is a UK and Canada and Canadian initiative, is we have to protect journalists and guess who they brought in as their superstar special envoy for this media freedom outfit? Come on. Which one? A mall of course! Targeting journalists undermines democracy, it impedes our ability to hold the powerful to account and it allows countless human rights abuses to take place in the dark. So I welcome the leadership that the UK along with Canada is showing by spearheading this new campaign for media freedom. And I'm honoured to be asked to contribute legal proposals on steps that governments can take to improve the protection of journalists

30:38 by being the chair of a new independent legal panel. Well, I hope the panel will immediately take Julian Assange's case under review. What the heck was this all about? You caught me off guard with this little clip. Isn't that cool? Yeah, this media freedom. It's kind of like the press freedom thing that we have here that started in New York and all those jamokes were a member of it. You remember that? No, not really. Yes, press freedom. In the UK and Canada it's media freedom and it's press freedom. Well that's good for us podcasters.

31:14 Well, let me see if I can find out who that group were. Press Freedom. Sure, is that Freedom of the Press? Well, no. Or something like that. No, Freedom of the Press, they turned it around to Press Freedom. I'm pretty sure. It's the drinking club, if I'm not mistaken. Well, they had a little drop box and you know, who's the other woman who worked with Glenn Greenwald on the Snowden files? Come on, the issue... Oh, the one that's always on Democracy Now. The elite. Yes, that one. What's her name? Maybe it is the Committee for Freedom of the Press. I'll have to look into that. But at least we know that there's a watchdog out there. Laura Poitras, that's who it was. Laura Poitras. Those guys. That group of elites in New York. And I'm sure some of the WAPO guys joined.

32:12 Yes, media freedom. So they're going to protect journalists, which I think even though we're kind of... They haven't done a very good job. Well, no, I don't think it's really about... The job they're doing is terrible. I don't think it's really about protecting media. I think it's about protecting the sources who feed the media through media. Podcasters. Podcasters are the future, baby. We're the ones that are going to save the world. Right. Right? Meanwhile, we're rejecting all other forms of international law. I always like how the International Criminal Court doesn't get the message.

33:12 No, it's like no, we don't recognize you. We don't recognize you. You're not a part of this. Go away. And no visa for you. That's fantastic. Well, they don't know. Okay. Yes. Enough of that. Well, I was kind of hoping for a report from you and I'll kick it off with an example clip of the release, the report demonstrations that took place across the United States of Gitmo Nation. Here is Senator Blumenthal giving us an example. Thank you, everybody.

CHAPTER 09 / 38 Discussion

Mueller Report Transparency Rallies and Democratic Messaging

Senator Richard Blumenthal led rallies demanding the full public release of the Mueller report, using the slogan "Release the Report." The messaging emphasizes that American taxpayers funded the investigation and deserve to see unredacted findings. The theatrical nature of these political demonstrations is critiqued.

richard blumenthal· robert mueller· mueller report· transparency· moveon.org

33:55 Thank you for giving us hope and energy and inspiration. And thank you for coming out today to show us what America looks like. This is what America looks like. This is what democracy looks like. Full transparency and public disclosure. The American people paid for that Mueller report. They deserve to know everything that is in it. You know, I really like this meme and it's spread and people, I heard it last night at the, you know, there's 800 people at the bandana ball. So I chatted with a few people and overheard some conversations. And this is a well-launched meme. Hey man, we paid for that report. We should be able to read everything that's in it. Well, funny thing. So I go to this event, it's an El Cerrito.

34:48 And that meme never showed up, but they had the script there. I looked it over. Hold on, let me finish Blumenthal, then you tell me if he was on script or not. So my message, your message, America's message is release the report. Release the report. Release the report. This guy, did no one clue him into how the mic check works? You know, mic check, mic check, and then people will automatically follow what you're saying instead of this old school. Now I have something to tell you. There is at least one person who doesn't want America to see that report. And since

35:38 My mother told me if you don't have something nice to say about someone, don't say anything. Really? My mom's not here today. Oh. So here is a so I'm going crazy message to the president of the United States release the report release the report release the report and release the full Mueller report how pathetic this guy and can he really look at himself say hey that was great I really rocked it today in that crowd

CHAPTER 10 / 38 Discussion

El Cerrito Resistance Rally and Bernie Sanders Supporters

An eyewitness account describes a "Release the Report" rally in El Cerrito organized by MoveOn.org. The event featured professional sign-makers and a demographic of older, disheveled activists. Interactions with Bernie Sanders volunteers revealed a defensive stance regarding Sanders' 2016 endorsement of Hillary Clinton and his current platform's adoption by other Democrats.

36:16 It's just lame. All right, so you went to alter the El Cerrito Release the report resistance movement rally as part of the move on org thing. Yeah a couple so I made some observation There's a lot of little chants. We want action, no redaction was the one that I heard the most. Oh, that's a nice one. Action, no redaction. I like that. Yeah, that was a good one. But I saw the sheet that had all the beams on it and it was all scripted and the person who ever had the megaphone usually had the sheet. Can I just stop you for a second and ask a few questions?

36:51 So I'd like to know, you went there now did you have a disguise on so people wouldn't recognize you as John C. Dvorak from the No Agenda show? Did you have like a Bernie button or something? I was looking for my Bernie button, I couldn't find it. But I wore a red flannel shirt very similar to what the Tech Grouch wears. Oh yes, yes, yes, yes. Very good. And you know just some beat up jeans and... Did you have any resist stickers or anything? Beat up loafers and I... didn't stand out even though I was taking everyone's pictures and I had a sign made. They had it, this is the one of those events where they didn't have the printed signs. They had two people making signs, making signs as fast as they could. Oh, that's, oh, that's interesting. Yeah. And so they did. So all the signs looked like they were made by the individuals when they weren't there made by these two people. One guy in particular was really good and I grabbed one of his signs

37:43 And released the Mueller report, you know, says something like that. I haven't, I kept it. I have it at the house. It's in the box marked collectibles? It's in a collectible box. So, uh... Wow. I hadn't actually thought about that. The people making signs on the spot for you. Were they, did they have wood attached to them or was it just signed as just a cardboard? Some, you could staple a wood thing on there if you wanted. They ran out of the wood sticks. holding the signs. They didn't bring enough sticks. You should have just had a stick with your head on it. Just walk around. Yeah, I could do that. So I got in there and I've got some, you know, the main signage was impeach Trump now.

38:25 And then there was this episode that happened, I recall, was besides the impeach, honk if you want to impeach Trump. And they're on there standing in the road and there are people going by honking, including an AC transit bus honking away at impeach Trump. And so I found that to be amusing. And then there was some guy, some doofus next to me when this chant came, what do we want? And the guy would yell, shoot Trump. No! Yes. Did you record this? I tried to, but I guess I didn't catch it because I wasn't recording everything. Oh, fail. And so I looked at the guy after he said it the second time and I said, I gave him this awkward look like, what are you doing? He says, hey, everybody's thinking it.

39:12 Wow. Yeah, that's what I thought. Wow. I should just take this picture and call the Secret Service if they care to do anything. But I thought that was pretty abhorrent and everyone's thinking that's funny and the whole group, oh, that's great. You got a lot of nerve there, Bill. So that's pretty much, to me, that's pretty nuts. Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah, what do we want and then she'd say that and then they would say when do we want an ADL now? Geez that chant was was pretty screwy now the other thing I have to say there the place was filled with mostly Bernie supporters Huh, where are the troublemakers? There's nobody I was the youngest guy there wait The demographic of this group was older than you yes, I

40:05 If they weren't older than me, they looked older than me. Wow. Kind of that beat up Berkeley look, you know, where you just don't have, you know, you're like, I don't know why I'm living. Disheveled. Disheveled. Yes. Disheveled and like that, you know, and you're typical, you have a shirt, you're wearing a flannel shirt and it's off by one button. So there's the one side's hanging, you know, a foot lower than the other. Mm-hmm. Nothing's tucked in and And a lot of angry women Hillary Hill bots obviously and they're screaming and screeching and they're yelling and you know With any message you could Trump is almost most the messages were Well something is this are you done with your report sounds like you kind of at the end of it? Well, there were a couple of young people there who were overweight. That's the only thing Also Bernie supporters

41:00 I didn't want to talk to him. By the way, I did talk to a lot of these people. Yes. Did you learn anything, Broll? Well, I did get a hold of the number one Bernie guy there. He was a Bernie. He looked like Bernie. And he's roaming around trying to get people to sign up to be volunteers for the Bernie organization. And they started yakking with him. He says, what do you think you do? I said, I would have voted for Bernie last time, I said. He said, well, you're gonna vote for him now. And I said, you know, ever since he sold out after he didn't get the nomination and turned his votes over to Hillary, I'm done with him. Ooh, ooh, frightening words. And it bothers him. Yes. And he, I mean, that's just what bothers him. And he goes, and he drops his head and he dramatizes, he says, yeah, I know, but if it wasn't for that, this is their argument, by the way, if it wasn't for that, he couldn't be running now.

41:51 Oh, that's a great way to put it. Yeah. And then I said, here's the second, here's the second layer. So I say to him, well, you know, the problem with Bernie's message, you know, is that all the other Democrats stole all of his ideas. All every single one. Every single one. And he's got an answer for that. Uh-huh. He says, well, that's true, but we know that Bernie's the only one who will actually do those things. I didn't really have a counter to that. Because he'll, well, and you said, oh, because he'll be king? No, I didn't. That wasn't in the cards to use the Snide approach.

Kamala Harris Media Appearance and Height Compensation Theory

A critique of Kamala Harris's appearance on Seth Meyers focuses on her hairstyle and physical stature. A theory is proposed that her voluminous hair is a stylistic compensation for her five-foot-two-inch height. Historical presidential height trends are discussed, suggesting shorter candidates face an uphill battle in national elections.

kamala harris· seth meyers· hair style· presidential height· stature

42:32 Well, did anyone mention or was there any talk about once again Bernie being completely ignored by the media? Does anyone see this repetition? I didn't bring that up. I didn't know, I haven't noticed it that much. Oh my. I mean, they probably should. They'll talk about him saying, well, he's raised more than anybody else, 17 million, but Beto is hot. Beto on a skateboard. Biden, Uncle Joe, creepy. You know, so the focus is on many different things. By the way, I saw Kamala Harris was on Seth Meyers. Nothing interesting. So not, not clippable.

43:15 But I all of a sudden I figured it was something bothering me about her hair and I couldn't figure it out. I'm like, it's too much hair. Why does she this it's you know, it's it's like It's like it's like it's unprofessional the volume and the cut of her hair. I know it sounds very superficial, but I've just been around a lot of women, a lot of hair. And I was like, what is she masking for? And then I figured it out. She's bald. No, because my first wife was like this. Kamala Harris is five foot two.

43:55 I didn't know this. No, I know and I'd say hold on a second This is what wife number one used to do and she had she even had hair pieces on it's some kind of compensation That puts you into your body in the different proportion and women know this the ones who are doing it and it and then on camera You just don't look like you're a dwarf Yeah, five two. That's tiny Yeah, that's small. So she can never be president. We don't have any 5'2 presidents and we don't do that. I think Chester Alan Arthur may have been 5'2. Yeah, well, you know, they buried the idea with him. Meanwhile, there was a very encouraging, I would say, encouraging interview on Friday night on Bill Marshall.

Chelsea Handler Therapy and Trump Derangement Syndrome

Comedian Chelsea Handler discussed her post-2016 election trauma and subsequent therapy on Bill Maher's program. The discussion posits that "Trump Derangement Syndrome" often triggers underlying personal traumas and a perceived loss of control. The media's role in repeating dire narratives about the state of the Republic is identified as a primary driver of this psychological stress.

chelsea handler· bill maher· therapy· trump derangement syndrome· 2016 election

44:48 And it was one of the most unhinged Trump haters, Chelsea Handler, the comedian slash talk show host. And she has a book out now and she writes about her most recent experience. And when I heard this, you know, it's at first pass like, OK, but then you really start to think about How many people have just issues, you know, issues from your youth? Everyone has an issue. Everyone's got some kind of stuff going on, you know, that's tucked away. And the, I guess what we call Trump derangement syndrome just brought this out in everybody. I'll let her explain. I thought it was very revealing. You know, I'm reading your book and I'm feeling like a bad friend because I didn't realize you were suffering so much. Everybody took the 2016 election hard. But I didn't know it really knocked you down like that. And it came, you came back stronger. That's what the book is about.

45:43 a was And now I'm thinking, ugh, this is the artist.

46:38 You know, the one that the Obama bot dinners. This is all these people who I know well enough to know they have severe traumatic issues in their past with family and relationships. And somehow this destabilizing feeling of Trump, which is completely media made, just triggered people into oblivion. And now I'm like, well, I really, you know, there's a couple things you can do with this. One is you just say, wow, man, you must have some, if someone's just going nuts. You must be screwed up. You must have some stuff in your background. Just like that woman in the green on her knees screaming at the top of her lungs. Yes. No, no, no. One of my favorite images. Yes. And a newsletter fan favorite for sure. Everybody loves it. Yeah. She must be really screwed up.

47:30 And at the same time, you know, you can also say, well... Well, let's stop before you continue. I know where you're headed and I want to hear more, but why is it a triggering mechanism? Well... Some doofus getting elected president, whoever it is. Well, in general, I would say most human resources in today's race du rats are stressed, overworked, worry, financial issues, you know, you can't ignore inflation. You just have less money to spend, nothing really changes, everything coming out of the television is negative, the world is going to shit, you're sick, look at all this stuff you're not taking yet, call your doctor.

48:22 Yeah, then it you know other stuff just sits there, and I went to think I went into therapy for a couple years It was fantastic But of course I was never deranged about anything or never really freaked out because I understand how media works and it didn't affect me But now I have a new compassion for people who are tripping out over this stuff like okay? And you know and it reminds me whenever we get an email from someone you how many times you've seen this happen They'll email us. Well you guys This is not an opening segment by the way. This is I'm not using this but that is the And then you'll use and we'll go back. We'll do a couple rounds of emails. You'll say something smart I'll say something I think is smart and then and then you're like, okay I'm dropping off and and then I'll go and then usually within four or five exchanges and

49:14 William my wife left me and the dog is sick And so I just I just freaked out and that's and that is a media illness I think I really think that although it's triggering stuff That's underlying in your psyche and we all have some stuff and this was an interesting example I felt like there was no control. She said that felt like there was like my I had no control over my life So they speak. Okay, let's go back and look at this again. So Trump gets elected and And everybody, all these people, especially in California, presupposed that Hillary was going to be elected and then we'd just be marching along. And that single, and also all Trump provided was a disruption. It was disruptive. It was disruptive versus a disruption. Yeah, but no, hold on, hold on. Let me give you an example. Hold on. I have an example here. Where did I put that?

50:15 Damn it. Keep talking, I'll find it. All right, so I'm assuming that when you have your worldview and everything's, and we're talking about your old hillbots back there in Austin, you have everything is smooth sailing and everything is plugged into place. The road signs are where they belong. The left turn is where it belongs. There's no big chuckles. It's going to break your axle. Your engine's not going to blow up. Nothing crazy is going to happen. and so everything's expected to go as planned and Hillary was part of that. She was going to be the first woman president. So status quo will be okay, we're just rolling along and then the worst happens. Remember the rug was pulled out from everybody just like your brother dying. All of a sudden we went from 95% certainty New York Times Clinton is the next president to uh-oh it's Trump.

51:07 So the rug was just pulled and then immediately it was Russia. Now people believe the media, John. They believe it. It's the same If you just repeat this over and over again for years and years about this is horrible, Trump is going to ruin us, the Republic is dying. It's no different from what people say about climate change and why children are all indoctrinated. It really does work just repeating the same thing over and over again. And yeah, I think the shock was too big. It was a shock to the system.

Cannabis as Gateway to Meditation and Comedic Obsession

Chelsea Handler credits cannabis as a "gateway drug" to meditation and finding peace amidst political turmoil. The conversation shifts to how modern comedians have lost their humor by becoming singularly obsessed with Donald Trump. This shift is viewed as alienating half of the potential audience and ruining the craft of comedy.

chelsea handler· cannabis· meditation· comedy· political obsession

51:45 to many people and I think it's pretty good that Chelsea Handler at least recognized it and she wasn't very disparaging about Trump throughout the rest of her, although this conversation they went immediately, you kind of heard it there, into a white privilege conversation like whatever okay fine. But then Besides no agenda being the true solution to this type of media illness, Chelsea Handler hopped on another train. I pivoted towards weed and cannabis and for me who's a very active kind of high-strung person I needed the cannabis was a gateway drug to meditation for me I couldn't meditate because I was always like and then with cannabis I was like okay, I think I can maybe meditate now I had my awakening and I'm like wait fuck Trump. We've got so many other beautiful things going on right of course you can't

52:46 There you go. Beautiful things happening and while terrible things happen, beautiful things are happening as well. Now, I don't know exactly what those beautiful things were, but... No! She's just as bad as she ever was. No, no, no, no, no. I'm giving her another chance. I'm giving Chelsea Handler a shot now. I'll read this book, I'll see... Troll Room comment. Sounds stable to me. Yeah, sounds totally... It's true. It's true. It's true. Well, maybe she can help some people. But yeah, therapy. Therapy is a good idea for sure. I felt it was a small vinegar book done. I thought I thought it was a small trace of light that I just got. Oh, that's really nice. It was actually a good, very good clip. And I think it did. I think you may have hit the nail on the head. It's just to me as a cynic and a podcaster. Yeah, I

53:50 I can't see how that can be so triggering Trump's election. And what gets me is that from a comedic perspective, why wouldn't you want Trump to be president? And it seems as if the comedians, most of them have, well she was one by the way. She's a comic. They're all triggered much the same way. They can't do funny material anymore. All it is is Trump, Trump, Trump. I mean, our kids bitch about it. You know, these funny, one-time funny people are now just Trump obsessed. And the material's only appealing to other obsessed people, so they're losing half their audience.

54:31 It's baffling to me. I still I'm baffled by because I never saw this as that disruptive. I thought it was an opportunity. Well again, I You know comedians much better than I do. I would say 97% of all comedians are in consensus that they're all severely broken people to start with that's why you become a comedian there's that element that element exists and You know, but then to take... Look, I don't know enough about comedy. I have not a funny bone in my body. But I see this and I'm understanding because now the people who are the worst, who are really the worst at hate and vile just always Trump-hater

Climate Change Media Alarmism and 2030 Catastrophe Deadline

A montage of news clips illustrates the repetitive use of "dire warnings" regarding climate change and a 12-year window to avoid catastrophe. The media narrative focuses on rising sea levels, extreme weather, and mass population movement by the year 2030. President Trump's skepticism of these reports is highlighted as a point of contention in the press.

55:19 They're the ones that have really horrible events in their past Bad family situations is bad situations So yeah, the humans are pretty simple and wow the media it just works. It's a great system. He's I love this example I got this from Sir, Drucifer here in Austin just to give an example Now it's not about Trump but about climate change now to a dire warning about climate change dire A dire warning. A dire warning. A dire warning. A dire new warning. A dire warning. Another dire warning. The situation is dire. A dire warning. Dire consequences. A dire warning. It sounds dire. What prompted this warning? We have a global emergency.

56:03 It's here, it's man-made and there are going to be dire results. The government issued its most dramatic report yet about climate change today and it came with a dire warning. A stark warning. A warning to humanity. An existential threat to human civilization on this planet. Experts say that we have until 2030 to avoid catastrophe. And we, the scientists also tell us, have 12 years in which to answer that question. 12 years in which to act. The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change. We have 12 years to turn this around. By the year 2030, that's just 12 years from now. The future is closer than we think and is not good. There will be irreversible damage to the planet. Time

56:50 is running out to prevent global warming from reaching a catastrophic milestone. Sea levels rising. Extreme drought. Severe storms. Widespread fires and extreme flooding. Dangerous heat waves rising sea levels. Rising sea levels and forcing millions from their homes. Crop failure and mass population movement. Food shortages. Millions around the world face future disaster. Pretty serious. People are dying. President Trump has frequently doubted its existence and has called it a hoax. I don't believe it. The world is gonna end in 12 years. We're all dying! You see? And you put a little bit of that music under it and it's dire. And it's great! So this stuff really works. Well, war sell papers. This is true. This is very true. And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John Cena!

It was a very Martin JJ piece, I guess would be fair to say. Yeah. Along the lines of the old George Bush piece. The Jeb Bush piece with the big glasses. Oh, I don't remember that one.

Okay. And we thank you. Thank you, everybody. And onward. Darren O'Neill comes in next. Darren O'Neill, a triple threat. Holy moly. He's an artist, he's a producer, and he's a contributor. And he's a podcaster. And he's a podcaster. And he's also a writer because he's written something, a nice little piece for us here. Yeah. All right. This donation of $333.33 is my first donation, so I will need a de-douching. You've been de-douched. I was a casual listener of the show up until the end of 2016 when I went through a bunch of retrial retinal surgeries on my right eye. Ouch.

1:06:10 I was face down for seven... Oh, jeez, I forgot about that. Oh, man. I was face down. Oh, man. No wonder he does so much art. He just loves to be sitting up. I was face down for seven weeks, including having to sleep in that position. Your podcast is one of the things that helped me keep sane over that time period. Now, I'd love to know how that works. So you have certain kinds of eye surgeries, obviously not cataract. No, I want to know how our podcast helped keep him sane. If, I mean, I don't think any could keep anything, keep me sane from lying down face down for seven weeks. You have to eat that way too. Yeah. You suck it. You suck through a straw. I think, Oh my God. And I think you had to do some exercises where you're down like that. You think they can fix this? I mean, there should be no reason in the world that you should be faced down for seven weeks.

1:07:07 I'd like to request some health cover for both me and my dad who spent most of last year in the hospital and in rehab after an infection nearly killed him. And for myself in the hopes that technology advances quickly so I can have some vision back in my right eye. Wait a minute, so seven weeks retinal surgery, seven weeks face down and it's not working? Apparently not. Jeez, alright. Since my surgeries I've become great pretty active doing artwork for the show the three dot three three three dot three three three whatever The three hundred thirty three dollars and thirty two cents donation is an honor the fact that I have had 33 pieces chosen to this point about that

1:07:50 Although my first chosen piece was for episode 980 and it was wrongly attributed to Mike Riley. That's right. My mistake. Yes. It's okay all of us Irish guys sound alike. Well, that's true. My 49, I remember the Mike Riley incident. It was a big stink. Big scandal. My 49th birthday is tomorrow, April 8th, and my birthday gift to all of the No Agenda artists is that I won't be submitting any artwork for today's show to give them a fighting chance. Oh, yeah. Hey, hey. Oh, yes. Come on, you peons. Make some art. I do it with one eye. Well, that's what JJ, Martin JJ did that one time. He says, I'm sick of winning. Yeah, but Martin JJ has two eyes.

1:08:46 Of course, I do have pieces in the evergreen section. Hint. The Noah Jenner Art Generator really is the World Wrestling Federation of artwork. It's time for Mike Reilly, Nick Durant, CSB, Martin JJ, and the rest to step it up and beat the guy with only one good eye. The competition is fierce, but the combatants are quite friendly. I can assure Adam that there is no need for concern. I'm a long way from being burned out on doing the artwork for the show. Adam is concerned that he's going to burn himself out. I'm concerned about everybody who's... I just see it. I know how it works. I feel the burn. I feel the burn. He feels the burn.

1:09:29 I truly enjoy contributing in any way. I can't always get a kick out of hearing you both ask about the artwork no matter who won. Talk about the artwork, sorry. Talk about the artwork. We got a guy with one eye making art and then a guy with one eye reading his note about it. This is fantastic. One good eye. The other eye is good too, but it doesn't, like my, uh, just a little less good. When are you going to get that other one worked on? We're going to get that eye fixed. I said, I don't need it. It's fine. I'm good. I got the one good eye and the one eye that is 90% good. You know, it's got a cataract, but it's not killing me. Hey, John, the thing is I'm the podcaster who has hearing aids. I mean, the whole, this whole show is a mess. We got artists with one eye, one eyed artist.

1:10:20 Thanks to Void Zero and Sir Bemrose, I've had my random thoughts podcast running on the stream for a while now and I'm about to launch a brand new show with Sir Bemrose called Grumpy Old Ben's. Sir Bemrose is a very talented guy in his own right and I know the No Agenda fans will enjoy hearing him rant regularly on the stream. If the No Agenda listeners want to help celebrate my birthday, they can subscribe to my podcast at randomthoughts.com and bookmark grumpyoldbens.com for its impending launch. Of course, they can also donate to the No Agenda show. I'm happy to be finally joining the ranks of the de-douched.

1:11:10 And that's all I got. And it says, happy belated birthday to JCD and keep up the good work, Darren O'Neal. And also, just to add insult to injury, Darren has a great voice. He has a really good mic voice. Just big and booming and it's nice. I haven't heard him. Well, that's what you get. You get half a, you get one eye, you get a better voice is how it works. That's the way it works. Well, uh, what's going to happen with you and those two ears? What? Couldn't hear you. Let's see. And he wanted a, something's getting bigger. He wanted the karma. There's a health karma. I believe. Let's do this. You've got karma. Thank you very much. Darren O'Neill, man of many trades and expertise is

Oh First checks based on Super Bowl score 41 33 from 2018 I'm a huge Cowboys fan and hate the Eagles, but I hate the Patriots more I was delighted when the Eagles beat the Patriots and wanted to share my cheer You'll get nothing for me from this year because the Patriots won

1:16:52 The second check is for $70.07. If $8008 is for boobs and $6006 is for small boobs and $909 is perky boobs, then $707 is for deformed, deranged boobs like the Hillbots, lesbians in tech, and social justice warriors. Oh my gosh. The third check is for $138.60 to round the total out to $250. It's like he's throwing curses on people with these things. I need a deep douching and jobs karma for my fiancé who lost her job on 131.19. Screw Accenture!

1:17:33 We do jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs! You've got karma. Sir Nick of the Southside Baron of the DMV. Okay, here we go. 20345. Good to have him back. It's been a while since I donated. What inspired me to donate was the terrible phone audio on another podcast. It really made me appreciate how much work you guys do in making the show sound great.

1:18:17 The content is spot on as usual. I'd like some karma for my upcoming travel and for all the other producers. Rev L would be nice too. Thanks, Sir Nick. Of the South Side, Baron of the DMV. We just did the Andrew Lang. I have a new one. I have a new Al, which is a shorty. Yeah, I got a new one. Here it goes. They sitting out on the sidewalk sipping mint tulips. Could you hear it? He's just sitting on the sidewalk sipping mint tulips. Yeah, instead of mint julep? Yeah, but it kind of breaks up in a funny way. Yeah, well then maybe I should just do a different Reverend Al if it's falling flat. Let's try this. R-E-S-P-I-C-T. You've got karma. I do have a couple clips from his big meetup. Oh, good.

CHAPTER 19 / 38 Discussion

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Accent Controversy and Code Switching

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced criticism for using a specific accent during a speech at the National Action Network. The hosts discuss "code-switching," comparing her performance to Hillary Clinton's shifting dialects and Mick Jagger's adjustment of his British accent for American audiences. The underlying message of her speech—that a bartender can reach Congress—is noted as a positive American sentiment.

1:21:59 Which pretty much the only person who got any real attention from it was AOC with her black scent. And I have that clip for people who haven't heard it. Alright, well why don't you give us your report. What do you have? Well, so they had the big AOC thing, or the hey OC thing, that's funny. They had the... Now Action Network. Action Network and everybody went and spoke. I think I maybe have two clips from that thing. But the main one, the super clip was this one where AOC decides to speak with a black scent and she's roundly hounded. I got notes from our friends in Australia about this. By the way, I disagree. I don't think it was a black scent. To me it was Rosie Perez. You know, it was a brown scent. It was not a black scent. Well, they called it a black scent. I think that's a misnomer. Well, you might be right, but all I noticed was the following, because there's Sarah Harrison, a note in. Oh.

1:22:53 And she's blah blah blah blah blah about this, you know, she's about there because apparently it's a news story in Australia. And AOC is followed around the world. And I said, the funny thing is about this is that no black people or anybody bitched about it except white people. Ah, that's not true. But... Oh, okay, good. I'm glad you said that. Yeah. What's the guy, Gerald Green? What's his name on YouTube? I don't know who Joe Green is. Yeah, it's this guy. He's a very popular YouTuber. Oh, so some YouTuber did. Okay, well that's good. Alright, well let's listen to her go on with her... How about your black friends, John? I'm sure you have one. I have more than one and nobody said anything to me and they don't care. I'm proud to be a bartender. Ain't nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with working retail, folding clothes for other people to buy.

1:23:48 There is nothing wrong with preparing the food that your neighbors will eat. There is nothing wrong with driving the buses that take your family to work. There is nothing wrong with being a working person in the United States of America. And there is everything dignified about it. I, in fact, am encouraged when people remind the country of my past not because of anything about my story but because it communicates that if I could work in a restaurant and become a member of the United States Congress so can you. So can you. That's kind of, I didn't really hear the clip in that full context.

1:24:32 It usually cut you yeah, it usually good What is it about it now that you've heard in full context that it interests you that she says that no matter who you are what you do You could you too can be in this position of power or whatever. She calls it Let me just get that last bit here because of anything about my story I in fact am encouraged when people remind me the country of my past not because of anything about my story but because it communicates that if I could work in a restaurant and become a member of the United States Congress so can you. I like that. I had not heard it in this context and now it's like oh alright well now you're making sense because all I heard was the black scent and they cut it off after you know drive your your your family to work with the bus.

1:25:20 Yeah, but now it ties in. She's like, hey, you know, I'm just I'm just a waitress. Not true. She's a trained, trained operative. But OK, that's her cover. I'm just a waitress and I can buy if I can do what you can't do. That's a very pro-American message. I have nothing, no problem with that. I agree. It's a good message. The way she delivered it with that corn pone kind of thing. Talking funny. She wasn't. She was talking like Rosie Perez, Bronx. What you just did was Southern. Well, no, it's Southern Welsh would be, but just saying it, it reminds me of Clinton. I, my comment to Sarah was.

1:25:56 This is something you learn. I've talked to, I have mixed feelings about it for the following reasons. I know Clinton, Hillary talks black when she's in a black church. She talks southern when she's in a southern venue. She learned that from Bill who used to do that. And I'm still remembering the day, and I kind of talk Canadian when I'm in Canada. I talk a little bit flatter than I normally talk. And I adjust myself, I don't put on a southern twang when I'm in the south, but I do talk a little slower, maybe a little more like this. because it's easier for people to, they just, this is warmer. And I got the idea from Mick Jagger and I'll tell this story. I've told it before on the show. I'm why I just so happened to be going to England a day after I watched Mick Jagger's on the Tonight Show with somebody forgot who the host was at the time. And so then I go to England and I'm in England and I turn on the TV, I catch the morning show. There's Mick Jagger again, coincidentally, and I can't understand a word he's saying. Right.

1:26:55 He adjusts his English just slightly to sound a little more American when he was in the United States so we could understand him because I'm telling you, I'm listening to him and the BBC or one of the... So here's why I don't care about how someone speaks, how they speak to a certain audience. I think especially now that I've heard what AOC actually said, which I thought was a very pro-American message, I have no problem with that. I encourage that. But let's not forget, I am Tina Turner. All of a sudden I cannot speak any like any made but from Mississippi or I'm Madonna. I'm Madonna. I speak with accent. Come on. And we ridiculed them too. So let's just be fair. Well, okay, then let's just ridicule everybody. That's what we do. This is the New York Daily Show. We can do what we want. My daughter speaks Dutch, Flemish, American English and British English. And when she's with her friends, it's British accent.

1:27:49 with her British friends. She's in Belgium, which is very similar to Dutch. She's actually speaking Dutch and does it in a Flemish accent. Yeah, so it's who your audience is. I got no problem with this. I found it a big waste of time. People, oh, wow, she's so phony. And it was pretty phony to cut off the actual message there. That I think is lame. And thank you for bringing that because I wouldn't have known otherwise. I'm bringing it, baby. You are bringing it bad, boy. So I had brought up AOC at the dinner with the Millennials and Jessie, she gristles. You can just hear her, she starts shaking. She gristles. You know, I'm using my normal pitch about AOC. I think she's an idiot. I think she's stupid. She's a good actress and all that just got her. She wouldn't say anything, but I could tell this is, this is, now I'm home free. I can just get her go to any time I want. I'm terrible. So, uh,

CHAPTER 20 / 38 Discussion

Norman Lear and John Amos Good Times Conflict

An interview with actor John Amos reveals the behind-the-scenes conflict on the 1970s sitcom "Good Times." Amos was fired by producer Norman Lear after objecting to the buffoonish portrayal of the character J.J. and the marginalization of the show's more professional characters. Lear is described as the "ground zero" of modern social justice warrior culture in media.

norman lear· john amos· j.j. walker· good times· social justice

1:28:50 I got it. Here's a little side clip ready. Well, what happened to you? You got gristle said anything but I could tell she's gritting her teeth surprised. They didn't break. You see, I okay fine. Just wait. I know you're like you're a big fan of AOC and she is and she is a potential presidential candidate. I was Hey, you want me to play the comedy on this one me to play the clip about Trump where you say no way it's going to be Jeb. Do you need to hear that again? I don't care what I said, it's got nothing to do with her. That's then, this is now. These are my presidential picks. Remember, I also picked the Pope. You did pick the Pope, I'll give you that one. All right. Now, I got some very odd clips here that are necessary to listen to. They're not about the current news, they're just about our back, it's all backgrounder. Okay. You remember the show Family Ties? Yes, of course. Michael J. Fox.

1:29:51 Was that on Family Ties? Wait a minute. No, that was J.J. Walker. Yeah, he was in Family Ties and he would say dynamite all the time. On Family Ties? Pretty sure. Hmm, okay. Oh, Good Times, Good Times. Oh, okay. My brain is frying like, that's not Family Ties. Ah, Good Times. You're right, it's Good Times. Okay. I saved you. Yes. So that was a Norman Lear show. Huh. And apparently Norman was, you know, he had his, you know, Norman Lear. I mean, this guy's changing the world one... One script at a time. One script at a time. So there was a recent interview with John Amos who was fired from that show for butting heads with Lear. And it was done by the broad, you know, one of these broadcast museums. Very interesting. John Amos. The dad on that show, we had a number of differences.

1:30:46 as evidenced by my early departure from the show, was I felt that with two other younger children, one of whom who aspired to become a Supreme Court justice, that would be Ralph Carter or Michael, and the other, Bernadette Stannis, I think she aspired to become a surgeon. And the differences I had with the producers of the show was that I felt too much emphasis was being put on JJ and his chicken hat and saying dynamite every third page when just as much emphasis and mileage could have been gotten out of my other two children and the concomitant jokes and and You know humor that could have come out of that But I wasn't the most diplomatic guy like I said in those days and they got tired of having their lives threatened over jokes So they said to tell you what why don't we kill him off? We'll get on with our we'll all get on with our lives life's too short so that taught me a lesson and

1:31:44 that I wasn't as important as I thought I was to the show or to Norman Lear's plans. And he was not about to have a disruptive factor. That was me, a disruptive factor. I got the call, we were on hiatus, when I found that I was no longer to be a part of the show. And Norman's secretary at that time, a very nice young lady by the name of J.D. Joe, called and said, John, Norman would like to speak to you. And that was the end. So Norman's plans, yeah. What was his plans to popularize, you know, some guy wearing a chicken hat and yelling dynamite all the time? And why would he do that? I mean, he's kind of the ground zero of social justice warriors. I know. That's what I found this clip to be fascinating for that reason. Very odd. Very odd. Hmm. Very odd. I need to give a little update on the 737 MAX situation. Oh, yes, please do.

CHAPTER 21 / 38 Discussion

Boeing 737 MAX Design Flaws and Manual Trim Issues

Technical analysis of the Boeing 737 MAX crashes points to a fundamental design flaw in the MCAS software and manual trim systems. At high airspeeds, pilots are physically unable to manually trim the aircraft's nose up once the computer initiates a dive. The lack of triple redundancy in the trim system is cited as a critical failure requiring recertification.

boeing 737 max· mcas· aviation safety· manual trim· flight control

1:32:45 The report has come out from the authorities and a lot of... I think you can probably find this, there's a couple of good reports certainly on YouTube where people explain this with some graphics etc to explain. But at this point we need to take all of the blame off of the aircrew. But also, I mean, what fundamentally is at fault if it's the original design, a change, if it's the software that doesn't work as expected or has unexpected behavior or happens in an unexpected situation. But following the rules of the procedure, should this happen where your aircraft is automatically pitching its nose down by a computer program that thinks it's time to do that,

1:33:35 The procedure is to switch off the motors that control the pitch down, the pitch attitude, just to keep it simple. And then manually, there's big wheels. If you've ever seen a cockpit, certainly a major airliner, there's two wheels in the center console that you'll see spinning around. And sometimes they have a ridge on it, sometimes they have a little crankshaft on it. But that's your trim and like in a Cessna you have just that wheel. You don't necessarily have the automatic trim, although you can buy that as a very expensive option. You can do it from your yoke, from your yoke column. The problem is if you have come into the situation as these two previous, or at least this is the Indonesia, or the, not the Indonesia, was it the Indonesia flight? It doesn't matter.

1:34:25 If you come across this situation and you are in a nose down attitude and you're pretty low to the ground, so within 10-15,000 feet, You start to pick up speed pretty quickly with not a lot of time to trim it out. And the problem is the forces on the airfoil is so intense from the speed that you have at that load altitude, which is very much heavier air density. You physically, because you've disabled the motors, you physically cannot trim that by hand. It won't work. It's just the force is too much.

1:35:04 So the only way you can do it is to pull back on on the yoke Then initiate the motor quickly try and trim it then click it off do the yoke thing again and kind of rollercoaster your way Into a positive nose attitude, but if you don't have the altitude you're a goner So it's a fundamental design flaw of not having a triple redundancy on the trim operationally in the aircraft. And the problem is that at higher airspeed you cannot operate the manual trim and then the two motors are working together both left and right so you can't independently use any motor to change that. So these things should be grounded for sure until this is sorted out. Did that make any sense? Yes and no. Okay, what part not? Well, the part about the Indonesian flight the day before where there was a third guy sitting in the jump seat

1:36:02 who identified the issue when they were having their problem the day before, which would have crashed the plane, and jumped to supposedly... I'm just telling you what's recorded. And so he had them turn off the autopilot system that was doing this this whatever it was, it was creating this issue. And then they got out of it and they took off and they finished the flight. Yeah, they caught it in time. They caught it in time before too much airspeed had been built up. That's the difference. And that could be a difference of five seconds, one second, I'm not quite sure. But once the airspeed is up too high, that system, you cannot do that. You can't use that trick. So they got lucky. Well, somebody got lucky. A whole plane full of people got lucky. A whole lot of people didn't get lucky too.

1:36:53 So I'm seeing very little follow-up on this from the authorities. Well, you know, Boeing, you know, they got a lot of money. They got a lot of... Well, they've already dropped production of the 737s from, I think it's 50 a month to 40 a month. But really, they should really say, okay, we really, really screwed up and they should just fix all of this. Because I don't know if it's, you know, it's a real issue. This thing should be recertified with triple redundancy on the trims. I wouldn't want to fly it now. Me, I'll fly almost anything. Onward. When you say onward, you gotta have something, yeah. I have a bunch of things. I have Steve Bannon. This is part two. I'm gonna do two of these. I have two clips here, but I'm gonna also do another segment of this speech that he gave.

CHAPTER 22 / 38 Discussion

Steve Bannon on China Strategy and Davos Elites

Steve Bannon delivered a speech in Hokkaido, Japan, analyzing Chinese President Xi Jinping's strategy for world domination via the "One Belt, One Road" initiative. Bannon criticizes the global elite at Davos for giving Xi a standing ovation despite China's human rights abuses against Uyghurs and Christians. The Davos crowd is characterized as having no moral standing, prioritizing financial gain over civilizational values.

steve bannon· xi jinping· davos· world domination· uyghurs

1:37:54 This was his speech in Hokkaido, Japan, which you can look up and you can listen to the whole thing. And he's got some errors in here that not in this particular clip, but he does have some later that I will emphasize. But in this case, this is just worth listening to. He talks about the, and he calls an emperor, the Xi, the guy who runs China, the head of the Communist Party, who's given himself lifetime he's there for life, so he calls him emperor, which is probably accurate, talking about his speech in Davos. And here he goes, abandoned on Davos 1. Of Emperor Xi. And Donald Trump a few days later was going to give his inaugural address. Xi's address is one of the most important speeches of the 21st century. And if you have not had a chance to see it or read it, I strongly recommend you do because he lays out

1:38:47 in quite a bit of detail, the Chinese strategy of world domination. And it is world domination. It starts with domination of East Asia, then expands out with the South China Sea and the East China Sea for the control of the Pacific. Then with one belt, one road, it goes to the control of the Eurasian landmass and then through Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean and South America and then back around. with China at the center of that as an advanced manufacturing empire in the tributary states of Japan and the United States and the industrial democracies all essentially administrative units. She lays this out in pretty good detail, talks about globalization, how successful globalization has been, how it works. The scientific, managerial, engineering, cultural and financial elite at Davos

1:39:42 and their cocktail parties and all the big shots in the world with the world's most sophisticated media. You know, the Financial Times of London, The Economist, BBC, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, all of them. Standing ovation for Xi. Xi's the hero. Well, they're all in his pocket, aren't they? Isn't Washington, D.C. just filled with money men bagging money on everybody from China? Seems so. But the standing ovation part is the one that got me. The guy outlines I'm going to take over the world and they give him a standing ovation? Woo! That's, you know, mainly Europe, I think. The Europeans are the ones welcoming with open arms. Hello, Italy! So let's play the second part of this. She's the hero. He's the spokesman for globalism. In this speech, he actually points to where all the world's problems come from. He says, I see where the world's problems come from. It's these nationalists.

1:40:43 Right? It's these populists. That's the descending voice. That's all these grubby folks. You know, it's the followers of Abe. It's the followers of Trump. It's the followers of Salvini. It's the followers of Orban. It's the followers of Le Pen. It's the followers of, ultimately, Bolsonaro or Modi. What they worship in Davos, because Davos is high church. Remember, this is theology. It's a new religion. They have no moral authority. The Financial Times and the Economist and all the smart investment bankers and all the smart commercial bankers, they understand what's going on in China. Everybody understands what's going on in China. They understand the camps of the Uyghurs. They understand the persecution of the Christians. They understand that the democracy movement, what's happened to them, they understand what's happened in Tibet. In Davos, they worship the dollar.

1:41:39 The world's economic and financial elite have no moral standing. They have, they detest the social and moral underpinnings of 5,000 years of civilization. Is he just figuring this out? I mean, yeah, these guys, yeah, they worship money and that's the only place left where there's expansion is China. That's where that's where the money is right now So everyone Hollywood's there. They got big nice studios. Oh, they get some dynamite studios, you know Google Apple everyone Oh gotta get in China. I got a China. It's all about money. Yeah, I'm not that's okay So what is what is the point of Bannon saying this and you?

CHAPTER 23 / 38 Discussion

French Yellow Vest Protests and Referendum Demands

The "Yellow Vest" protests in France continue for a 21st consecutive week, with demonstrators demanding a "Citizen Initiative Referendum" (RIC). President Emmanuel Macron is reportedly considering a referendum to address grievances regarding unfair taxation. The history of French referendums, including the ignored 2005 vote on the European Constitution, is discussed as a sign of government arrogance.

yellow vests· emmanuel macron· france· referendum· taxation

1:42:22 I have no idea, just to jack up the Japanese I guess. Well let's talk about some of those damn nationalists who are ruining everything. Clashes in Nantes on the 21st Saturday in a row of anti-government protests in France. Thousands also took to the streets of other cities, mostly peacefully, although 21 were arrested in Paris. Even so, many of the protesters remained defiant and determined. The message is that we'll release nothing. We want to finish all this to obtain our RAC, a Citizen Initiative Referendum, because if these guys are still in place, we'll not be able to install our new system. So it's a war of attrition. We think that if we make everything fall down, we'd reconstruct something

1:43:05 We'll have all the time necessary to rebuild afterwards, because it will be for us, you see. We continue until we have victory. We release nothing, because today nothing has been obtained. We still have a corrupted system, an elite that governs against the people. As long as the people's opinion is not taken into account, as long as the people are not the priority of this government, we will fight. The quieter nature of the demonstrations should be a relief to President Emmanuel Macron. Only this week he ended two months of town hall meetings across the country to hear people's grievances. So if I understood, and by the way, Euronews, what a crap mix you made there. If I understand correctly, there's a referendum they're working on? I don't know any of this because this has been suppressed.

1:43:54 Even our anybody including you know, even the Ivor where's the story in the intercept? I see nothing. Where's salon? Where's slate? Where's all these guys that should be talking about this or giving us some insight? Where's democracy now? Let me see I have one article I found after months of yellow vest protests that have sapped the popularity and patience of French president Emmanuel Macron shown shown The embattled head of state is considering taking his problems to the people in a referendum. Such a referendum would address the concerns of French citizens about unfair taxation and other key issues. Said Macron, these referendum work really great. Just look at Brexit.

1:44:35 He did actually say that I added that in At a recent town hall meeting with young people. Well, that's always good young people in a southern suburb of Paris Macron hinted that he might consider a referendum to order in order to address people concerns about the French government Yeah, so that's That's interesting Okay, Charles the Charles de Gaulle The architect of the current French Constitution included referendums as a form of direct democracy to give citizens a say on controversial issues. But French governments have been hesitant to use referendums, having done so only five times. The last time, in 2005, was when citizens rejected the European Constitution, which was the Lisbon Treaty, and it just got ignored.

1:45:26 They didn't even get a do-over. Meh, it doesn't matter. Just forget about it. Yeah, whatever you think blows. That's so much for the referendum. Well, we have the same thing in California. We have referendums of direct democracy. Yes. And they, you know, and it's been pretty much, they do work. I mean, what low taxes and property taxes are part of that came from one of the old referendums from years ago. And, you know, they fixed property taxes, but they had one recently where it was this, do you want to split the state into three? Yes, and they some judge says that we and I don't care what any I don't care you get the right number of signatures You got this you got that no, and they wouldn't even put it on the ballot Yeah, so there's that issue so this you know so the government's are getting arrogant about this letting the people decide anything well I'm already assumed that people are idiots the only hope we have left is France the only only guys in Relatively recent history who can do something about it well

CHAPTER 24 / 38 Discussion

Theresa May Brexit Extension and Budget Veto Strategy

Prime Minister Theresa May has requested a Brexit extension to June 30th while negotiating with the Labour Party. Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg suggests that if the UK remains in the EU, it should use its power to veto the multi-annual financial framework and disrupt Brussels' budget. EU leaders are reportedly losing patience with the prolonged negotiation process.

theresa may· brexit· jacob rees-mogg· european union· budget veto

1:46:31 Keep hoping. The way they're playing this, the media is doing a great job of putting, let me, I've got to say it, putting the clamps on this movement so we don't know anything. Meanwhile we have I guess some kind of Hail Mary coming from that other referendum country. British Prime Minister Theresa May claims reaching out to the opposition Labour Party was the only way to avoid either leaving the EU with no deal or not leaving at all. She has just days left to come up with a solution before the latest Brexit date due on April 12th, although she has asked Brussels for an extension to the 30th of June.

1:47:13 Leading Brexit supporter Jacob Rees-Mogg says the Prime Minister's difficulties are of her own making and if the UK is forced to stay in the EU it should make life difficult for Brussels. When the multi-annual financial framework comes forward, if we're still in, this is our one in seven year opportunity to veto the budget and to be really very difficult and I hope that any British Prime Minister would take that opportunity. Talks between May's ruling... Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Did she say, did he say they want to, if they haven't Brexit-ed, they want to still work on the EU budget? Was that what he's saying? Let me check that again. When the multi-annual financial framework comes forward, if we're still in, this is our one in seven year opportunity to veto the budget and to be really very difficult and I hope that any British Prime Minister would take that opportunity. That's an interesting idea. You could really mess with the budgeting and then get out.

1:48:09 That's an interesting idea. That's Rhys Maugh, that guy. Talks between May's ruling Conservatives and Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party are ongoing, with the government insisting a compromise can still be reached. But the mood music coming from the Corbyn camp, while positive, is not quite as optimistic, and they're saying it's down to the government to move. If May can agree a compromise deal with Labour, then she'll have something new to take to an EU summit on April 10th. If not, she'll have to come up with a new plan if she's secure an extension from EU leaders who are rapidly losing patience with the United Kingdom. Hmm. Okay. They've been rapidly losing patience for three years. How rapid can it be? They're not... You never give me your Brexit

CHAPTER 25 / 38 Discussion

David Lammy Remainer Speech and Immigration Warnings

MP David Lammy delivered a passionate "Remainer" speech in Parliament, claiming the 2016 Brexit vote was won on lies and Russian interference. Lammy warned that leaving the EU would lead to the privatization of the NHS by U.S. corporations and a surge in immigration from India and China. The speech is characterized as a classic attempt to wear down the public's resolve.

david lammy· brexit· nhs· immigration· india

1:48:56 You only give me your lame excuses. And in the middle of negotiations, you break down. That's Tim Kiernan, full mix at the end of the show. We've got some good ones. Now I do have a clip of Brexit related from David Lamy or whatever he called his name. He's a remainer to an extreme black guy from Tottenham. He's, I think, one of the Trump's buffoon guys. And I think he hates Britain and he would love to see this lose the borders and become just part of the EU because he lies in here on a number of issues. But this is a classic Remainer pitch in Parliament to

1:49:49 stay in the EU. A campaign won on false promises and lies, Vote Leave and Leave EU both broke the law. Russian interference is beyond reasonable doubt. And by now every single campaign promise made in 2016 has become unstuck. Brexit will not enrich our NHS, it will impoverish it. Our trade deal with Donald Trump will see the US corporations privatise and dismantle the NHS one bed at a time. And even those promises on immigration, which have so greatly enriched our country, are a lie.

1:50:39 After Brexit, immigration will go up, not down. When we enter into negotiations with countries like India and China, they will ask for three things. Visas. Visas and more visas. And they will get them because we will be weak. Friends on this side of the House, Tell me to appease Labour voters in industrial towns, the former miners, the factory workers, those who feel they've been left behind. I say we must not patronise them with cowardice. Let's tell them the truth. You were sold a lie. Parts of the media used your fears to sell papers and boost viewing figures. Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson exploited the same prejudice to win votes. Shame on them. Immigrants have not taken your jobs. Our schools and colleges failed to give you the skills. Hospitals are not crumbling because of health tourists, not because of decades of austerity that ground them down to the bone. You cannot afford a house

1:51:34 because both parties failed to build not because of Mohammed down the road who moved in and wealth was hoarded in London when it should have been shared across the country. Blame us, blame Westminster, do not blame Brussels for our own country's mistakes and do not be angry at us for telling you the truth. Be angry at the chancellors who sold you a lie. I think the message is clear there Wow what a mess and my British friends won't even talk to me anymore because they have nothing left to say they don't even know what to say anymore like They really have just they've given up

1:52:29 Which I think is the point. Oh yeah, don't you think? Wear them down. Just beat them in a submission. People can be worn down. They have other things to do. They do. Okay, before we take our break, unless you have something else about Brexit. I'm good with Brexit. I want to talk a little bit more about vaccines because we've been tracking something interesting of late. This is the MMR vaccine, at least one product going off patent and very interesting to see this resurgence and the worst outbreak ever. We had measles, we have mumps, but what were we missing?

CHAPTER 26 / 38 Discussion

Detroit Auto Show Rubella Exposure and Vaccine Media

Health officials in Michigan issued a warning regarding potential rubella exposure at the Detroit Auto Show. The media coverage is critiqued for framing a 10-day infection as a major "health scare." The segment highlights the contradictory messaging from doctors in news reports regarding the risks for unvaccinated individuals.

rubella· detroit auto show· vaccines· health scare· michigan

1:53:14 German measles, rubella. Rubella, exactly. The number four thousands of people possibly exposed to rubella at the auto show. Someone who attended the show has been diagnosed with the illness. This is a Detroit auto show. Seven Action News reporter Alan Campbell is live at Covo Center. What doctors are saying, Alan, about this health scare. Health scare! The North American... Health scare! Scare! It's a health scare! What is German measles a week you sit at home little fever? Okay, hell scare the North American International Auto Show wrapped up last weekend at Cobo Center It's a popular event for thousands of people But now those who attended between January 13th and 15th may have been exposed to rubella Most people don't know what it is, but it's really a viral infection

1:54:03 and so a virus causes it. A recent article in the Washington Times is sounding the alarm during a current measles outbreak in both Washington State and New York, saying communities there are among the most unvaccinated, including some here in Michigan, and it could be a reason the illness is spreading. We have to stop calling measles a disease. It's a 10-day infection. And I encourage everybody to look at facts. So for those parents who choose to not vaccinate, that's their choice. The article also highlights some of the... I'm not quite sure who that guy was who they popped in there. He had a lab coat on, but he had a very contradictory message to what I think they're trying to communicate. I don't get what that message was in the context of the story. No, the message was, well, this is, you know, if you don't vaccinate, then this is what you deal with. It's a 10 day... Infection.

1:54:49 Yeah, but not disease. Very odd story. 10-day infection and I encourage everybody to look at facts. So for those parents who choose to not vaccinate, that's their choice. The article also highlights some of the anti-vaccination hotspots throughout the country listing Troy, Detroit and Warren as problem cities. I fully realize that those who believe in the value of vaccines will probably not be persuaded by the facts, wh and internet access can b sources. Doctors say if have been exposed, see yo things. Go talk to your d you've not had the infect

1:55:33 So the crock of crap that this report is, give me the, play the beginning of it again when they tell about the dates you could have been exposed. The number four thousands of people possibly exposed to rubella at the auto show. Someone who attended the show has been diagnosed with the illness. 7 Action News reporter Alan Campbell is live at Kobo Center with what doctors are saying, Alan, about this health scare. The North American International Auto Show wrapped up last weekend at Cobo Center. It's a popular event for thousands of people. I don't think they have a date in there. Did you hear a date? I thought they said a date earlier, but now those who attend... No, I don't think so. Why? Well, it sounded like the date was so far away. I mean, it was... I didn't know it wrapped just last week, so I guess it's not that I was... I miss... was misled. So I... When the guy was like, oh, look it up, check it out, vaccines on the internet. You know, I'm gonna go to the...

CHAPTER 27 / 38 Discussion

National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Payouts

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has reportedly paid out over $8 billion to individuals claiming vaccine-related injuries. Approximately 70% of these awards are negotiated settlements where the government does not officially admit the vaccine caused the injury. Pharmaceutical companies remain largely indemnified from direct lawsuits, shifting the burden to this federal program.

vaccine injury· hhs· cdc· legal settlements· indemnification

1:56:28 to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and look that up again and see how that's doing. Do you know how much money the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid out to people who have been injured by vaccines? Oh, it can't be much because vaccines are harmless. How about eight billion dollars? $8 billion has been paid out for people injured by vaccinations? Yep. Yep. How much do you, what happened to them? Well, if you look at the VAERS database, which is the adverse reaction to vaccine database, everything from sore shoulder to, you know, death.

1:57:07 And it's all in there. What it doesn't say is, oh, here's how you get your money, here's what it's worth. But if we look at, let me see the monthly stats, I had... Does it tell you which vaccines are causing the problems that are getting all this money? Yes, yeah, yeah. Well, it's a database, so you can just look at it and each entry says exactly which vaccine it was. Data and statistics. Being awarded compensation for petition does not necessarily mean the vaccine caused the alleged injury. This is even better. In fact, approximately 70% of all compensation awarded comes as a result of a negotiated settlement between the parties in which Health and Human Services has not concluded based upon review of the evidence that the alleged vaccine caused the alleged injury. I mean, how does this system work? Are they just throwing money away? Yes! Yes! And what I'm seeing in this database

1:57:57 With, you know, my arm hurt, you know, had neck pain, threw my back, my back was hurt after a vaccination. People are getting money. This, I think this is more scandal than we realize because, I mean, again, the pharmaceutical companies are What's the word I'm looking for? Indemnified. They do not, you know, they can't be sued if you have injury from a vaccine. So this is where this vaccine injury compensation program came from. But apparently, they're just kind of handing it out. Attorneys are eligible for reasonable attorney's fees whether or not the petitioner is awarded compensation by the court. So you need a lawyer to do this. If certain, oh, that's if certain minimal requirements are met,

1:58:43 In those circumstances, attorneys are paid by the vaccine injury compensation program directly. So you get a bunch of ambulance chases. Yeah! We should be in this business. Yeah, anything. What reasons might a petition result in a negotiated settlement? Here's your question. The consideration of prior U.S. Court of Federal Claims decisions, it's always that way, both parties decide to minimize risk of loss through settlement, a desire to minimize the time and expense of litigating a case, so if you're a problem, if you're a troublemaker with a lot of noise and media attention, and of course the desire to resolve petitions quickly. According to the CDC, from 2006 to 2017, over 3.4 billion doses of the, here's their statistics,

1:59:31 3.4 billion doses of covered vaccines were distributed in the US for petitions filed the same period 6253. So what they're trying to say is for every 1 million doses of vaccine that were distributed one individual was compensated. Okay, so I'm trying to make it sound like a one in a million, but there's a lot of money going out. A lot. Yeah, so window. I'm I think I speak for you. We're not anti-vaxxers. I've had my shots I don't want polio. You know I didn't have an MMR I don't think it existed when I was a kid, and I'm not so sure that smallpox vaccine ah I don't think they gave us smallpox by the time I came around yeah And then closely eradicated it so now it can be weaponized and it used to kill off the youth And you'll be safe. I will sweet

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Gardasil HPV Vaccine

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticizes the Gardasil HPV vaccine, labeling it a "boondoggle" for Merck. He claims the clinical trials showed increased rates of seizures, infertility, and suicide among participants. Kennedy argues that the vaccine's long-term efficacy in preventing cervical cancer is unproven and that the risks, including aluminum toxicity, are downplayed by health authorities.

robert f. kennedy jr· gardasil· merck· hpv vaccine· cervical cancer

2:00:22 Sweet deal. You can do the show by yourself. So do you have a, a, a, a, a, a POC, what do they call it? A POC inoculation, inoculation mark? Yeah, it was one of those, it wasn't a normal thing. It was like, it's like a, it's like a, like a high pressure gun, like a million little needles, a bunch of puncture wounds. And then they, they dip it in some goo and then they pound your arm with it and it makes a big scab and then you're, you're inoculated. It's very old fashioned back then. Yeah, extremely. I remember we didn't even have to get the polio shot after a while. We got the sugar cube treatment. Remember those? The sugar cubes, like, oh, this is pretty good. Anyway, so, but you know, I think that when the Gardasil came around, the HPV vaccine, which is, and doesn't really prove to be 100% effective. In fact, there's a lot of issues with it. A lot of girls

2:01:18 have had severe issues after this. The marketing programs of this particular drug was insane, all the way to boys need it because you'll get throat cancer from conilingus. It just keeps going on and on and on. Robert Kennedy jr. Bless his heart is not having it and he's Really making a lot of noise and I have a clip now remember he has a throat issue So you have to take a second to get into his into how he speaks, but this is specifically about the Gardasil HPV vaccination program

2:01:56 It is a canard, it is a boondoggle for this company. It's an easy sell for them because they say, we're going to give it to you when you're nine and when you're 58, usually cervical cancer kills at the age of 58. So 50 years from now, you won't have cervical cancer. Of course, Merck knows that the executives who are are making billions of dollars in years on this are not going to be around in 50 years to answer the questions when all those girls do get cervical cancer. It's one of the biggest boondoggles in history. I'm representing a girl, Jennifer Roby,

2:02:38 who's been in a wheelchair since age 15. She has seizures every 90 seconds or so. I've met girls who've been blinded at age 15 by this terrible, terrible vaccine. But there's good indication also the vaccine is causing Infertility across the board, across women, we're seeing the fertility levels in people who got clinical degeneration, like a Gardasil drug, dramatically. We're seeing depression and suicide levels increase dramatically. And those were all things that happened during the clinical trials. They saw that this was gonna happen during the clinical trials. There were suicides among the girls, and there were deaths.

2:03:31 among the girls that were four or five times the background rates. This is a dangerous, dangerous vaccine. It's loaded with aluminum. Do not let your little girl ever take this vaccine. No matter what happens, don't let her take this vaccine. I wish the guy had a better pipes. It makes his communication is so difficult. You could write these out too. Well, he writes a lot. He writes a lot of course. It's much more exciting to hear someone speak. This is the worst stuff ever. Now who is the politician behind this stuff? I don't remember. One of our famous Republican politicians is somehow involved with this, this Gardasil crap. I'm trying to think who that was. I do know that, you know, now that this is started coming to light through... Somebody in the chat room might remember. Yeah, I got my eye on it and see if they come through. The United States, sorry, UPS has just made a... Rick Perry. It was Rick Perry.

CHAPTER 29 / 38 Discussion

UPS Home Delivery Vaccine Partnership with Merck

Merck has partnered with UPS to facilitate home delivery and administration of vaccines. Under this model, UPS-contracted nurses will transport vaccines the "last mile" to patients' homes to perform the injections. This logistical shift is viewed with skepticism, particularly regarding the aggressive marketing of the HPV vaccine to young girls and boys.

ups· merck· home delivery· nursing· clinical trials

2:04:32 Rick Perry, remember? He was taking money in Texas to have the girls... Yeah, Rick Perry, that dick. Yes, Rick Perry, exactly. So now Merck has cut a deal with UPS, the package delivery company. And according to Reuters, workers in UPS's 1.7 million square foot health care complex at Worldport will package and ship the HPV vaccine to one of the more than 4,700 franchised UPS stores. A home health nurse contracted by UPS's clinical trial logistics unit known as Markin

2:05:13 We'll collect the package, transport it the last mile to the patient's home and administer the vaccine. Does it get any better? To what? They're home delivering vaccines? Yes, yes. And they're bringing a nurse and giving you a shot? Your kids, not you, your daughter. How about that, huh? Yeah, I'm not a fan of this and we've had a lot through over the years We've had a lot of different doctors chime in and say that you know This is not not necessarily a good product and you know, I've seen it with multiple women in my life. Here's how it goes Yes, we did there your your tap smear and Yeah, we think you're precancerous. I always say precancerous but but dysplasia

2:06:00 Yes, you're pre-cancerous. We have to do a biopsy, not a fun procedure for a woman. Sometimes two biopsies and you know what? Good news! You don't have cancer. We recommend you try this shot though because that'll definitely guarantee you don't get it. That's their sales pitch. I've seen it. I've seen it happen to women around me. It's disgusting how they do this. Yes, you have talked about this many a time. Yeah, and it's scary. It's really scary. Pre-cancerous. Give me a break. Yeah, pre-cancerous. It's a funny gimmick. It's a funny gimmick until you realize... Everything's pre-cancerous. Yes, as I think we've said before, you and I, we are definitely pre-dead. I'm gonna show my salute by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. We do have a few people to thank for show 1127, starting with...

It wasn't enough, you know, the FDA now gonna get rid of all that and make it all part of the Juul system. It's all about Juul, because Juuls, you know, they're bought by the Marlboro people.

FDA E-Cigarette Seizure Investigation and Vaping Rehab

The FDA is investigating 35 cases of seizures potentially linked to e-cigarette use, specifically "Juuling." While a direct relationship has not been established, public health officials are urging users to report adverse events immediately. The emergence of "vaping rehab" for addicted teenagers is noted as a new development in the industry.

2:14:53 Looks like there's some other people out there trying to do stuff with vaping. Tonight, another cloud of controversy over e-cigarettes. The FDA calling possible seizures an emerging safety issue. Kelly Kynard says her 15-year-old son, Luca, had a seizure after a heavy night of vaping. We followed up with pediatrician, cardiologist, neurologist. We couldn't get anyone to listen to us when I told them the seizure was preceded by jeweling. The FDA is investigating 35 seizure cases over the last 10 years, telling lawmakers today they're also looking into whether other factors may be to blame. We want to be clear that we don't know yet if there's a direct relationship between the use of the e-cigs and a risk of seizure. Public health officials are now asking e-cigarette users to report seizures immediately. One e-cigarette company saying they will vigilantly monitor for any evidence of safety issues and work cooperatively with FDA.

2:15:46 Over the last few years, e-cigarette use has exploded with 3.6 million middle schoolers and high school students saying they've tried vaping in the past. But teens like Lucas say they don't want to be addicted to nicotine. I don't need that to be me. I don't need anything to be me, you know? I'm myself. He went to vaping rehab and hasn't touched an e-cigarette in months. Oh, rehab now. We've got vaping rehab, apparently. I find this story to be confusing and not sure who the messenger is behind it. Well, they did get in a plug for a new kind of a meme by saying, juicing, vaping. They said, juicing. Yeah. Yeah. So that was a good PR then. I think so. Brazen. And they have rehab just in case you go. I mean, rehab for what? For nicotine?

University of Kentucky Hunger Strike for Food Security

Students at the University of Kentucky ended a hunger strike after the administration agreed to create a "basic needs center" for food-insecure students. The protest also secured demands for increased diversity and the removal of a controversial campus mural. The irony of a hunger strike to demand food is highlighted as a sign of modern campus immaturity.

university of kentucky· hunger strike· food insecurity· diversity· racist mural

2:16:39 I guess. Or just sucking on something, because you're sucking too much. I guess. Well, I got a screwball clip here. This is what's wrong with the universities today. This is the UK, it says UK, which means University of Kentucky. Knuckles under student demands. Students from the University of Kentucky who embarked on a hunger strike last week are celebrating after their demands were met by the school's administration. Over 350 students joined the campaign and at least six had refused any food starting last Wednesday, as they demanded the creation of a basic needs center to support students who are food insecure and otherwise struggling financially. As of Tuesday night, University of Kentucky administrators agreed to create the center and establish a basic needs fund.

2:17:26 In a parallel action, students from the Black Student Advisory Council, who launched a campaign to increase diversity and better support black students at the university, also had the majority of their demands met. Among other things, they've been demanding the removal of a racist mural from campus, which depicts African slaves and Native Americans attacking white women. Well, they showed the mural. I didn't see that, but OK. So some people went on a hunger strike demanding food, which I thought was ironic. A hunger strike to demand food. Okay. And it's just the, these universities have got to, I don't know what they can do about this, but these students, this is not home away from home kind of, you know, it's not like you're, you're not like in grammar school anymore where you have to have the free school lunch. But it just seems to me that these kids are immature.

Tucker Carlson on Trump Gas Tax Proposal

Tucker Carlson criticized the Trump administration for reportedly considering a federal gas tax increase to fund infrastructure. Carlson argues that such a tax would disproportionately harm working-class rural voters who supported Trump in 2016. He suggests that proposing such "mindless" policies makes it appear as though the President does not want to be re-elected.

tucker carlson· donald trump· gas tax· infrastructure· 2020 election

2:18:25 Tucker Carlson, which I don't like the clip, for some reason is on a rampage against Trump. Oh, finally something interesting from him. And so he's decided, so he did this crazy piece, you know, he does these little, hello, I'm this beginning of this, this was started by O'Reilly called the O'Reilly something, I forget what it was called, the word or something like that. Oh yeah, it's his little editorial thing. Yeah, a little editorial at the beginning because it's basically got O'Reilly's. Everybody does this. O'Reilly's called it, he called it the talking points I think. The talking points memo. Oh, talking points memo, yeah. Yeah, and I think Colbert mocked it and he had the word when he did his O'Reilly clone show when he was acting as O'Reilly. So this is Carlson going on the de-scolding Trump for I don't know what to be honest about it. I mean if you read enough

2:19:23 and Coulter, I mean there's issues to scold Trump about but he's, Tucker's come up with this theory At least in this one moment. That Trump doesn't want to get re-elected. This is one of the elite things that's going around in elite circles. This crops up from time to time. Yeah, well here's Tucker's version. The 2020 presidential campaign is already well underway on the Democratic side. There are dozens of candidates in the race and possibly dozens more to come. On the Republican side, there's just the incumbent president. Everyone assumes he wants to be reelected. Most presidents do. But what if Donald Trump had decided he's had enough? Too many investigations, too much nastiness, too few upsides. It wouldn't be a crazy conclusion. How'd you like to spend your 70s locked in the White House? So let's say Trump had decided he wants to lose in 2020 and get back to his old life. How would he do that?

2:20:22 Let's see. He might start by proposing more than half a billion dollars in Medicare cuts. That's something that nobody outside the libertarian symposia circuit really wants to see, so you do that. Then he'd slash funding for the E-Verify program. That would allow companies to keep hiring illegal alien labor in violation of a key campaign promise. After that, he'd announce we're bringing in even more low-skilled workers. That would push down the wages of the people who voted for him, the most vulnerable group in the country. Finally, he'd release a bunch of drug dealers back onto the streets right in the middle of the worst drug epidemic in history. And he'd continue our pointless military intervention in Syria, which in no way benefits the United States. If the president did all that, the message would be very clear. He has no idea what he ran on in 2016. He just wants out.

2:21:11 But let's say voters still didn't get the message. Maybe they were too distracted by the Russia hoax to notice. At that point, you'd have to do something really extreme to get their attention. Something so mindless and counterproductive that there's literally no way you could get re-elected after doing it. You'd raise gas taxes. And in fact, the administration is proposing just that. According to news reports, the White House is negotiating with Democrats to heighten taxes on gasoline in order to fund quote, infrastructure. This is one of those ideas that everyone in Washington loves. It costs them nothing. They're too rich to care what gas costs and by the way, they don't drive. Huh. You know, I think I did hear him talk about this and I had this probably similar reaction to you like, huh? But he also says according to reports.

Historical Gas Taxes and Manhattan Congestion Charges

The discussion explores the permanence of "temporary" taxes, citing the "Kok's Quarter" gas tax in the Netherlands and the ever-increasing tolls on the San Francisco Bay Bridge. Manhattan's new congestion charge is mentioned as a first for American cities. These fees are viewed as a "slave" system that will be further enabled by 5G surveillance technology.

netherlands· california· bay bridge· congestion charge· manhattan

2:21:59 What kind of source is that? Yeah, this is not good. But the thing is, the way this worked out, because this is a show, you have to remember this, our show daily is a grind. And so what he saw, and I can tell you how this developed, how this whole bit, this whole, and it's part two coming up, the whole bit evolved from seeing the gas tax proposal and then developing the thesis. So the gas tax was first. He saw it, he said, what is it? What maniac is going to increase the price of gas tax? And then he came up with the theory after that. But I agree with him on the part of the gas. What did we don't need in California? They keep jacking up the gas tax. It's ridiculous. They, I don't even want to get into the price of gas. If I can just give you my own anecdote. When prime minister Koch, K-O-K.

2:22:54 Was prime minister of the Netherlands he added 25 cents to the cost of a liter of gasoline it was called the culture from cork Cox quarter Sounds better in English doesn't it? And they were supposed to get that back. It's like well. We're just going through this period now I just need a little bit of money from everybody But we need to get that back and that must have been what 25 years ago now maybe longer and I can't remember when he was still in office and from time to time someone will still say I want my quarterback! But this is exactly how it goes. Once it's in, it's in and you never see it again. It's gone forever. Oh that's absolutely true. It's like the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge were both copies of the newspaper articles about the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. It is going to cost five cents

2:23:44 It's just for the first year and then it's going to be toll free because we can maintain it with whatever, gas taxes. They're already in play. And so no, it went from five cents to 25 cents to 50 cents to a dollar. to $2 now it's six bucks. Well like you know Manhattan now just for the first time they have a congestion charge in Manhattan. Yes. In certain areas you gotta buy a license. I don't think it's ever been implemented. I don't think anyone any any city has ever really done it in America. Singapore. Yeah in America though. Oh no not in America that I know of. Austin could be next with that. That'd be funny.

CHAPTER 35 / 38 Discussion

Tucker Carlson Tax Proposals and Rutger Bregman Conflict

Tucker Carlson proposed alternative taxes on lobbyists, capital gains, and Amazon to fund infrastructure instead of a gas tax. This populist pivot is analyzed as a reaction to a leaked, unaired segment where Dutch historian Rutger Bregman called Carlson a "millionaire funded by billionaires." Carlson's aggressive stance against the wealthy is seen as an attempt to regain his populist credibility.

2:24:24 Yeah, you have it the way it's done in Singapore is they have cameras. Yeah, London has a license place to come and there's England I think London has it. Yeah, London has it. Yeah, London has it. Yeah, they record your license plate you get a bill Shut up slave That's exactly how it goes. It's beautiful 5g will help this a lot so onward with part two of this of this rant and by the way, they don't drive and But if you live outside the coastal cities and you're not rich, higher gas prices are a disaster. They hurt you immediately. That's always true. Anything that raises the price of gasoline, whether it's the Green New Deal or some new tax scheme promoted by a fake conservative think tank, crushes the weakest in our society. Normal people hate it. Many of those people voted for Donald Trump the first time. It's nuts.

2:25:15 And it's not like there aren't other smarter, less regressive options if you want to raise money. There are many of them. We could roll back some of those 2017 tax cuts which went overwhelmingly to high earners and big companies. We could tax the billions in remittances flowing from the United States to the rest of the world. Remember that idea? We could tax carried interest like the income it so obviously is. We should do that anyway just on principle. We could even tax capital gains like we tax salaries. Mitt Romney might finally pay the same rate as your dentist, and that would be satisfying. And then we could get creative. How about an 80% tax on all lobbying produced by former members of Congress? That's a good one. How about an iPhone tax? Or how about a tough new tax on a trillion-dollar Seattle-based internet retailer whose entire business model depends on using public roads to deliver their packages?

2:26:06 Companies like that have put an awful lot of American businesses out of work. They clog our roads. Why aren't they paying for infrastructure? We could go on. Plenty of obvious ideas out there. Hiking taxes on working-class rural people is not on the list, unless you secretly want to retire early. In that case, if you're really sick of the job, go with the gas tax. I think I can deconstruct this. There's something else going on with him. This stems from a segment that did not air on his show. In fact, I'm almost positive this is where he's overcompensating for something that he feels kind of bad about, although he doesn't have to. And you may have seen this. We didn't play it on the show. There was the guy at Davos who said, hey, he was on the panel, he said, hey, how about you guys? Why don't you, why are you dodging taxes? You all need to pay your taxes. That's what this whole thing is just about, you not paying taxes.

2:27:00 And I think we even played that clip on our show. So Tucker had this guy on, the guy by the way is Dutch, he's a historian, he claims he's a historian. He also works for the Correspondent and which is very disappointing because I supported them early on before this America bull crap that they pulled. And this guy's... anyway, so the guy, Tucker wants to talk to the guy. And the guy immediately, he goes up. The guy's a dick. Yeah, he goes, he's like, well, you're just a millionaire being paid by billionaires, don't you know? And he just attacks Tucker while Tucker was saying, you know, this is kind of good what you said.

2:27:36 And the guy was a, he was a dick and he just kept on going and in that typical Dutch dickish fashion until Tucker said, you know, fuck you. Just, I think he literally said that. Killed the segment. Yeah, killed the segment. But it's bothered him because it made him, it did make him, a whole group of people made him look like a shitheel. And he is of course a millionaire paid by a billionaire and so this is his way of over accentuating and over compensating by saying, well the rich people don't pay taxes, they always put it on the poor people. I think that's what's going on here. Maybe it's an element. Would agree with that yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I forgot about that this guy yeah, in fact I had that clip too, and I never introduced it to the show the audio was also very poor You couldn't hear Tucker very well, so it didn't work well for my it was a bad clip Are you excited oh yeah?

9/11 Nuclear Demolition Theory and Dmitry Khalezov

A five-hour YouTube presentation by former Russian GRU officer Dmitry Khalezov proposes that the World Trade Center towers were brought down by underground nuclear devices. The theory suggests that building codes in the 1960s required a built-in demolition plan, and that nuclear "pulverization" explains the missing steel and the collapse of Building 7. The hosts compare this to other alternative 9/11 theories like directed energy weapons.

9/11· dmitry khalezov· nuclear demolition· world trade center· building 7

2:28:46 Have you ever heard of the 9-11 nuclear theory? Not yet. I had heard of it, but I was talking with Mark Van Dyke, Void Zero, over the weekend. And this comes up and he says, you've got to see this YouTube video that features the Russian, he's a former Russian military guy who was in the 12th unit of the GRU, but he was in the nuclear division. And his name is Dmitry Khalezov, K-H-A-L-E-Z-O-V. And it's a five hour YouTube video.

2:29:28 And I watched all of it. So you don't have to. What? Yeah, five hours. You watched a five-hour video? I did. I did. In chunks. It's called Sorrow and the Pity. I actually watched that once. You watched that whole thing? Yeah. So you do know what this is about. No, I watched the Sorrow and the Pity. I'm sorry. I got you. Well, yeah, I watched it in little steps, you know, where I can. Commercial breaks, I just pick up a little bit. He has a very well very very well thought-out well documented and and if you look or if you being this bitch you'll find that the more people have documented this and the basic theory is in the 60s there were building codes in New York City if you want to put up these big skyscrapers you had to have and this is by the way is the flimsiest part of the whole theory you had to have

2:30:25 a way to demolish it built into your plans for building it. And apparently the plan for World Trade Centers 1 and 2 was to have a nuclear device Now, and this is what he goes into great detail about, the difference between a nuclear explosion underground and above ground. So the same nuclear device that explodes, if that explodes at a thousand feet above New York, all of New York is dead and gone and blown away. If the same bomb explodes 77 meters underground, or really 50 meters underground,

2:31:07 then if it's placed in exactly the right spot, it will blow upwards up to about 300 meters and it will pulverize everything in its path. And when you watch this video, because of course it's not just the interview, they put incessant footage in there continuously, the concept of where did 200,000 tons of steel go to kind of becomes more explainable as you see that a lot of it just vaporized. And this is a mind-blowing theory. It doesn't explain anything as to why or who exactly was behind it, other than that, you know, I mean, it just goes so deep into the Granite missiles that were on the Kursk, you know, the nuclear, the Russian nuclear sub, and they stole these missiles, and then one of those was the one that went into the Pentagon.

2:32:05 It's just fantastic and watch this if you have any time. I know you probably won't be watching all five hours, John. Maybe you will. I doubt it. If you go through this and you watch it, you'll say, wow, it makes a lot more sense than the thermite theory. It is, of course, a demolition. It's just not the kind of demolition that is typical. And I'm not a nuclear physicist. I am going to send this to Sir Rod Adams, ask him about... You're gonna make poor Rod watch five hours of this? I think it'll be... well there's a white paper on it, all links are in the show notes.

2:32:46 And this is a lot of theory, nuclear theory about how the blast works. How does he explain WTC7? So, TC7 was the command center. And these bombs, of course, are not just sitting under one and two, you know, for 30, 40 years. There was tunnels from seven. And so 7 had two tunnels, one going to the explosion point for tower 1, one for tower 2, and then they detonated those. And he shows exactly where they were detonated and why one part of the building didn't come off because of the blast radius. He has an answer for everything. And of course, because building 7 was the command center, they might as well cover everything up. So they did the same with that.

2:33:31 depth, same type of nuke, same power. And says that's why because building seven was pretty tall. It was about 70, almost 80% the height of towers one and two. But I don't think so. That's what he says. Okay, I just don't think so. But I'll look into it. That's why you see really the pulverization of building 7 happened right at the top, unlike 1 and 2 where you had that large section that came down with the antenna on it into the dust underneath. It's a very interesting theory. I have to say, again, not explaining who

2:34:10 But it does explain the collapses, which is the most annoying thing, particularly building 7. So you like this theory? I like it very much. You know why I'm so happy now? Because now that eliminates your Your electronic beam pulse energy weapon coming in off the shore that shot the buildings. It was that's done. It was that yes the directed energy weapon directed energy weapon from the top is done and And now it makes even more sense particularly if the blast came from underneath it will blow the same type of holes through certain buildings a theremin, please

Angry White Male Studies at University of Kansas

The University of Kansas is offering a new course titled "Angry White Male Studies" within its Humanities department. The class aims to chart the rise of male anger in America and Britain since the 1950s. Despite social media backlash, students on campus expressed interest, and the course is expected to fill its 15-student capacity quickly.

2:34:59 WTC 7 won't go away. Now entering second half of the show. Now exiting, exiting! Well I have, I have a clip that matches that spiel of yours. Okay. As a shorty. This would be normally end of show clip. We're getting close. So this is a clip, if you met someone from the Netherlands clip. If you met someone from the Netherlands, what nationality would they be? Netherlandian. Hello America. Yes, Netherlandian. Yes, they speak... well, it's the same as... what language do people... they always say Dutch? Oh, you speak Deutsch, is German, isn't it? No, not even close.

2:35:52 Whoever who asked this dumbass question. This is one of the series of these You know if you go on the line you want to just start watching dumb man on the street stuff. Oh, yes. Love it Well, there's probably a thousand videos. They're all you know Accumulations, this is some guy I've never seen before but he goes and asks stuff like this What do you call it a person from Denmark and this the guy would say something like? Denmark Ian, you know, hey, you know, I just realized you had something about Was it Kansas University? University of Kansas? Is that what you had? No, that was Kentucky. Oh, Kentucky. Okay. Yeah. No, I had... I'm sorry. Well, I can play it if you want. Kansas University has a new course that you may want to consider enrolling in.

2:36:38 This time of year if students at KU aren't talking basketball, they're focused on finals or summer vacation plans. But today, the fall course offerings and one class in particular seem to take over students' social media. It's called Angry White Male Studies in the Humanities Department. The course description says it charts the rise of the angry white male in America and Britain since the 1950s. exploring the deeper sources of this emotional state while evaluating recent manifestations of male anger. Though many students I spoke with feel the course's name could be viewed as inappropriate, few took offense with the subject matter. Zachary Coakley says from what he can tell, the course will delve into subject matter he studied on his own. He thinks any student, but especially white males, can gain perspective from it.

2:37:23 I don't think it's supposed to make white people mad. It's just supposed to be like an educational course to kind of learn something from. Like, if you're not taking stuff from yourself and learning from it, then what's the point? According to the online course offering for that three hour class, it only has room for 15 students. And though it's obviously created some opposition, I'd say based on what we heard on campus here today, it actually might fill up quite quickly. I can't wait. Wait a minute, it's a three-hour course with a 15... It's online? If it's online, why is there a maximum of 15? That doesn't make any sense. Someone has to... This is a gimmick, it's a publicity stunt. Yeah, I think you're right. Enrollment is up, everything's good. Yeah, get off my lawn.
