Spy Slut

00:00 The Chinese are stealing all the toilet paper. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Thursday May 9th 2019 this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1136 This is no agenda propagating my handlers formula and broadcasting live from the frontier of Austin Texas capital of the drone star state in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where global warming is freezing us out I'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning. You know, I agree it's been nothing but chilly and rainy here in Austin and it's May. It's supposed to be warm and hot. Well here it's supposed to be summer we have our summer in may june a little bit then it gets cold normally because of fogs up no its been there has not been one day of warm weather since mid-april for eleven years we've been saying

00:56 Whatever the government says go the other direction. It's a sure bet Yeah, of course we still believe in the 70s global climate change stuff yeah Global cooling we're all gonna die from from from cooling frost yes cooling Cooling cooling alright Well, it's been a pretty interesting day. Week. Couple of shows... Day is just getting started here. Yeah! Well the side show is still on in full effect. It's an embarrassment to both sides. It's an embarrassment to both sides? It's an embarrassment to the American news media which I'm sure is in turn creating an embarrassment for world press this side show is just terrific so we had this one woman Mary

01:53 Uh, Scanlon. And her actual middle name is under Chiron's Mary Gaye Scanlon. Mm-hmm G A Y E? No just GAY. Straight up gay Going on about how it's so obvious that the Mueller report indicated there was Russian collusion. They can't get off this thing! And then they had this woman, Escobar come on and she goes... I've got to get these clips. Couldn't catch them soon enough She goes on saying, the Mueller report clearly indicates that there was Russian collusion and clearly indicates that Trump... Clearly indicates that Trump was instructing justice trying to cover up the obvious Russian collusion. Eleven times!

02:40 And it's as though that they either didn't read, or don't care what the report said. And then they have to... Scanlon goes on and she says we're not asking for Barr to break the law he just has to give us the whole report! Yeah which would be breaking the law? I mean the law could be changed obviously. Yeah change the law you guys Now my favorite is constitutional crisis no longer co-equal branches of government We're all going to die Let me see, I did have something on... Yes. Was it? Let's see where the hell was it? I had a Judge Napolitano who ever since he has been relegated to FoxNation.com with Tommy Lahren as his boss. He is...

03:35 He's really come out anti-Trump, which I don't remember him as being. I thought he was exactly the opposite so it was very interesting to listen to him And he had a great little piece on Barr, on Barr's background. You know before you go on now that you mention it I'm now reminded not as you mentioned that he used to be pro-Trump and now he is anti-Trump...I am reminded of the Worldwide Wrestling Federation or World Wide Wrestling Entertainment at WWE Yes where we got a flip yeah we gotta flip! We've got to be against this guy and then the bad guys are good guys and then we bring in the Samoan twins Yeah NWO

04:14 Yes, well here's the Samoan one-twin Judge Napolitano speaking of Bill Barr who he knows quite well. Is Barr a particularly bad Attorney General? What kind of question is that?! Does it matter? This is Reason TV so you know... It stands to reason they'd have a question like this but the answer is even more fun! Is Barr a particularly bad Attorney General? Oh Nick I mean, the Bill Barr that I know when he was the head of the Office of Legal Counsel in the early years of the George H. W. Bush administration so that's the think tank within the DOJ that tells the rest of the DOJ what the law means and from there he became the Attorney General wrote the original memo to the President about the constitutionality and virtues of mass warrantless surveillance

05:09 So right there it's very difficult for me to find good about him. It would be an unbelievable good, it would be angels coming down from heaven type good... ...to outweigh and evil that pernicious and pervasive because from that single memo developed the 60 thousand domestic spies we have now that work for the NSA. Yeah! Good work! Good Work Barr This makes total sense to me. This is exactly the guy you want in there to protect, have Mueller's back. You know as Mueller went in cleaned up now Barr has gotta come in someone's gotta be the patsy someone's gotta go down that's his job and he'll protect everybody else He knows how it works. He knows the system. He was a part of it Well nobody's looking at that way We are! Well we're objective

06:06 The way the right wing is seeing this, is the bar's coming in there not to protect people but to indict. He's gonna get everybody How doubtful is that? Well I don't buy it because I see no evidence of it and he hasn't indicted one person No Someone's going down...I'm not sure if its..the problem is Is the CIA stuff and the Brennan, you know entrapping Papadopoulos or not really I mean honey trapping him really and trying to give him information that they could say he then had and was trying to do something with and therefore justify their Their their spying warrants actually a header. I had another clip about that Let me see where was that? Yes

06:59 This is, and I learned a new term from this. Joe DeGenoa who is a former US attorney but now he's kind of like a Fox & Friends guy. Yeah, well also comment that...I like this guy what he has to say but I think it just piled high with wishful thinking. I completely agree But I did like the new term we learned. I want to switch gears here and ask you about this news out of The New York Times last week About a spy that was placed another spy that was placed on George Papadopoulos in September of 2016 Identifying herself as Azra Turk We know thanks to The New York Times reporter who went on CNN and said this that she was not an FBI agent She was a government investigator sent by the FBI, and he's not willing to be more specific What does this tell you?

07:52 Well, her name is Azra Turk which of course is her nom de guerre. Her war name it's not a real name She is what they call in the business a spy slut But she was used to they call it honeypot Have you ever heard this one? No, but it was he did at in Perkins in his economic hitman book Oh It was a spy slut that got him involved with being an economic hit man right now We've heard of honey pots. But spy slot this is a good one and that's in the business better according That's how we call it in the biz

08:27 Hey, we got that spy slut from Turkey on deck yet? He has a little bit more to say but I just this was the most important part was the new term. Her nom de guerre her war name it's not a real name she is what they call into business a spy slut She was used, they call it honeypot... That's a business term? The spy slut thing. They use that at the agency called the Spy Slut. Wow! She was used by the agency to entrap Papadopoulos Let's remember what all this is all about George Papadopoulos was nobody He knew no Russian he had never been to Russia He didn't even read anything about Russia

09:08 What was happening here, this is what John Brennan set up along with Comey. They put agents of the United States government and foreign assets from other intelligence services in play to plant information with Papadopoulos that he would repeat back to some other foreign intelligence services who would then feed it to the FBI and create a basis for a FISA warrant or an arrest when Papadopoulos returned to the United States from overseas. Make no mistake about it, this had nothing to do with collecting intelligence from Papadopoulos It had everything to do with planting intelligence with Papadopoulos He was being used to create a false narrative to frame the incoming President of the United States There you go

09:57 I think that sounds believable. Yeah, it's not only believable but it was a huge blunder because the Papadopoulos character if you ever seen him interview anything is such an innocent soul. He's an international douche! You okay there? I don't have a cough butt. You don't have a lung from what it sounds like... I swallowed my tea instead of or breathed the tea instead of swallowing it You okay? He's still, I think he's still an innocent guy. Who's...he's just kind of this- He's a dummy! Yeah. Yeah and you told me this okay well but yeah you should pass it on yeah if i remember you know. Okay that was the wrong guy

10:43 You mean the wrong guy? No, he was the perfect guy to plant on. I think it was the perfect guy He's a wrong guy because you didn't do any real damage. I love how he's talking about this Azra Turk in interviews It's like well she was very flirtatious but of course I didn't I didn't fall for that mm-hmm Uh-huh Okay George. He's got this hot Italian lawyer wife who hangs out with she's very very smart and I just wonder if It's like, you Papadopoulos. You cheater! I'll bail you out but you're my bitch from now on." Well there is no evidence that anything happened. No But we do know...we have a name at least Spy Slut Sounds so great. I'd love to hear that on CNN. I'm sure the women in the agencies loved the term Oh yes well a slut can be a dude. You can have dude sluts Yeah but it's not as offensive

11:37 Really? That's an offensive term. I wouldn't want to be called a slut! Yeah, see it's not offensive you actually like the idea No, I said it do no- Making it even worse... I do NOT want to be called a slut is what I said. I don't like the idea Oh, I thought he said you wanted to be called a slu- NO! Oh well that makes more sense Do you have anything else on any collusion? Mueller, Barr and Barmula. Yeah I have a couple of funny examples this is not my big collection which i hope to come out on Sunday but listen to some of the stuff some of these idiots said here's my favorite one she well no first let's play Sensenbrenner bitching and moaning about you can't release the report fully because of all the illegalities involved so just get that out of the way now Sensenbrenner is a representative

12:27 You know he's a senator on this committee. I think it is absolutely shocking that the majority of this committee is going to ask the chief law enforcement officer of the United States to commit a crime Shocking. And the crime would be to release unredacted E6 blahdy-blahdy-blahs Yeah, so meanwhile Trump just put the kibosh on everything and I said that knowingly and pronouncing it yet another way

13:06 kibosh on everything. And so this got Sheila Jackson, who would have been our favorite representative if had not Maxine Waters come onto the scene yes. She upped her up the ante but she was running she's going for it with one of the most idiotic comments ever that the president now seeks to take a wrecking ball through the constitution of the united states of america oh yeah for the first time in the history of the united states a president is now exerting executive privilege over every aspect of life what maybe we should just step back for a second just explain exactly what this is about because it is so idiotic

13:51 It is literally almost down the technicalities and just to make in this case, the Attorney General Barr look like a douchebag, a puppet, the president's lawyer. that he massaged the public by not releasing, even though he had no obligation under the rules to release the report. They just want the whole report we voted on it damn it! Rules laws be damned we want the report and its just a big show and so tiring...to watch because you really get almost nothing from except a few bonehead clips

14:31 We get a lot of great clips. Especially when you have executive privilege over all aspects of life! I have no idea what that means, but apparently... But I believe her it doesn't matter. It's totally true it's true so okay my summary is the following The report comes out as inconclusive. It's not even inconclusive its conclusive that nothing happened and Barr decides, I think Barr made a strategic error here. Barr decides that he wants to just get the whole thing out of there and get them so they have it redacted professionally to get out certain things that you can't release is just against the law and there's nothing any importance that's not been released So they release it

15:19 So the Democrats, because it didn't conclude what they wanted which is that Trump is a Russian agent. A Russian spy working for Putin. Putin! Putin. So he... so they want their whole thing they want to see the whole thing Hoping that he doesn't release it so they can moan and groan. Because now they can say, oh there's all kinds of secrets in here They're just covering up for Trump right and it's a very effective so far But what Barr should have done was released a heavily redacted version Yes And then gone back and done another pass if nother was the version He said this version should have been held

16:02 And then he should have just redacted it to an extreme and sent that in so they could bitch and moan about the page of all redacted. Which is what the Republicans always like to do during the Obama administration, look at this! It's useless! And they'd hold up a page... It's all blacked out. Yeah exactly yeah So he should have done that and said okay we're gonna go over it again and release this one and then release it And you think three, maybe through three stages. Yeah. You don't you don't think this day would have come up with some other gambit? I would've stole them a little bit. The idea is that who's going to get the twenty twenty first? Yes. Well, that's always the idea of the president until 2020 to hope to get him voted out and more Democrats voted in. But if I think they start playing their cards a little too soon on this thing getting annoying. Yeah.

16:56 There was what do we have a Nancy Pelosi where she was saying that this? Let me see the constitutional crisis. Yeah, no This is what we got from her We have to make sure one channel is what we have from her for some reason so sound political But we have to know I had my clip which is Pelosi on bar lying to Congress Oh you didn't even hear the clip at all No, I didn't hear anything. Hmm okay Pelosi will play yours lying to bar He lied to Congress he lied to Congress and everybody else did that it would be considered a crime

17:35 Nobody is above the law, not the President of the United States. And not the Attorney General being the Attorney General does not give you a bath to go say whatever you want and it is the fact because you are the Attorney General. It just isn't true. Should he go to jail for it? There's a process involved here and as I said, I'll say it again and how many other questions do we have... The committee will act upon how we will proceed. by this, by whatever happened. And I'm sure she believes exactly what she's saying and she believes that Trump is an agent of Putin and Barr is working as the personal lawyer all the things she says I'm sure she believes because this woman along with many many politicians and many Americans are traumatized. And I came across a great...what I thought was a great interview you know Aaron Maté? I'm sure you do

18:47 He works for Democracy Now, he has The Grey Zone which is a video podcast. But he's kind of mainstream guy I'm sure you've seen him. Maybe. Maté, M-A-T-E accent ague? Maybe And this I didn't know his father is Gabor Maté and he is a world-renowned, highly published psychologist. And he gave for the first time I think an appropriate analysis of the trauma that we're witnessing amongst politicians with the entire Russia collusion story He also analyzed...I think for the first time i've heard it correctly ...the president

19:40 and his issues, and then in the third clip kind of a general overview of why you know You take those two pieces. What's happening? Why is it happening so the guy is a renowned? I don't just like this psychiatrist psychologist. He's got credentials and Started off with him Talking about this trauma that is the Russia collusion story what's interesting is that then the aftermath of the Mueller Thunderbolt of no proof of collusion. There are articles about how people are disappointed about this finding. Now disappointment means that you were expecting something, and wanted something to happen and it didn't happen So that means some people wanted Mueller to find evidence of collusion which means that emotionally they were invested in it It wasn't just that they wanted the truth They actually wanted the truth to look a certain way

20:34 And whenever we want the truth to look a certain way, there's some reason it has to do with our own emotional needs and not just with the concern for reality. And in politics in general, although we think that people make decisions on intellectual grounds based on facts and beliefs. Very often actually people's dynamics are driven by emotional forces that they're not even aware of themselves and I really as observed this whole restricted phenomena from the beginning it really seemed to me there was a lot of emotionality that had little to do with the actual facts of the case. There's no question that for a lot of people in this country, the election of Trump was a traumatic event. When trauma reaction happens which is just say you're hurt and your pained and your confused and you're scared and you're bewildered there are basically two things you can do about it one is you can own that I'm pained and I'm hurt and bewildered and I am really scared

21:36 And then try and look at what happened to bring me to that situation. Or you can, instead of dealing with those emotions come up with some kind of explanation that makes you feel better about them." So he's always explaining basic trauma by the way the guy is a lefty He hates Trump sure and here is his analysis of Trump It's much more comforting to believe that some some enemy is doing this to us than to look at What does this say about us as a society? There was massive denial of the actual dynamics in American society that led to the election of this traumatized and traumatizing individual. Donald Trump is clearest example of a traumatized politician one can ever see, he's in denial reality all the time

22:25 He is self-aggrandizing. His fundamental self concept is that of a nobody, so he has to make himself huge and big all the time and keep proving to the world how powerful and smart you know what kind of degrees he's got and how smart he is it's compensation for terrible self image. You can't pay attention to anything which means that his brain is too scattered because it was too painful for him to pay attention What does this all come down to? the childhood that we know that he had in a home of a dictatorial child disparaging father and who demeaned his children mercilessly.

23:10 One of Trump's brothers dragged himself to death and Trump compensates for all that by trying to make himself as big, powerful and successful as possible. I mean it is a clear example. I am not saying this to invite sympathy for Trump politics. I'm just describing that that is who the man is in fact such a traumatized individual Can be elected to the position of what they call the most powerful person in the world? speaks to a traumatized society and And like individuals can be in denial as society can be now So this society is deeply in denial about its own trauma and particularly In this case about the trauma that election, so one way to deal with trauma is denial of it The other way is to project

23:57 onto other people things you don't like about yourself. So of course this is not stunning news, but I've not heard anyone on the left of any spectrum analyze it this way to date and say yeah Trump is highly traumatized And that is part of the trauma of the nation and I don't know, maybe of the world. Part of his charm! Yes, part of his charm? Yeah it is. Final short clip is the projection part so yes and again nothing groundbreaking but good to hear that at least someone is listening and thinking about it It's only a matter of historical fact that no serious person most serious student of history can possibly deny how

24:44 the United States has interfered in the internal politics of just about every nation on earth. For example, in Chile where there's an elected government that America cheerfully overthrows and even boasts about it not to mention the current interference in Venezuela internal politics not to mention how as you've pointed out many others have pointed out and usually boast about it on its cover about how United States helped Boris Yeltsin get elected. So even if it's true what the Russians have, even if the worst thing that is alleged about the Russians is true, its not even one minuscule proportion of what America has publicly acknowledged it has done all around the world and so this rage that we project then and this bad guy image projected on to the Russians is simply a mirror

23:57 onto other people things you don't like about yourself. So of course this is not stunning news, but I've not heard anyone on the left of any spectrum analyze it this way to date and say yeah Trump is highly traumatized And that is part of the trauma of the nation and I don't know, maybe of the world. Part of his charm! Yes, part of his charm? Yeah it is. Final short clip is the projection part so yes and again nothing groundbreaking but good to hear that at least someone is listening and thinking about it It's only a matter of historical fact that no serious person most serious student of history can possibly deny how

24:44 the United States has interfered in the internal politics of just about every nation on earth. For example, in Chile where there's an elected government that America cheerfully overthrows and even boasts about it not to mention the current interference in Venezuela internal politics not to mention how as you've pointed out many others have pointed out and usually boast about it on its cover about how United States helped Boris Yeltsin get elected. So even if it's true what the Russians have, even if the worst thing that is alleged about the Russians is true, its not even one minuscule proportion of what America has publicly acknowledged it has done all around the world and so this rage that we project then and this bad guy image projected on to the Russians is simply a mirror

25:37 a very inadequate mirror of what America publicly and openly and repeatedly does all around the world. It's kind of a meta thought about this? Not even a meta, it is your old saying! Oh well thank you, of course it's my own my old saying, wat je zegt ben je zelf met je kop door de helft but I had not considered this part of it where we're so I guess maybe we have considered it, but we're so aware of what the United States has been doing all my life for sure in meddling in other countries. We've had a pretty interesting war that's still not really over in the Middle East and then you know were so upset about that but of course you can't say that because

26:21 military can't love our troops support the troops can say that so the trauma comes out in this other way of thinking that this really kind of minuscule country with their power Russia you know they're the big boogeyman and that is super projection and it's interesting to see the trolls in the troll room a lot of them seem pretty traumatized themselves I'm sure. Just listen to this clip how they project about these clips, you should go check yourself trolls! Yeah i can see that well it's pretty obvious more or less that's what's going on yeah but and that's what so nice about people that are cut better paid congress folk that should be in over it you'd hope when I'm listening to this Escobar woman

27:20 Go on and on with some interpretation of the report that's just not there as if it's all true and we have to do something immediately in this bar guys the worst i'm thinking what is wrong with them. By the way I think that then this guy didn't get into it Part of the real trauma of the United States, and I would say part of the troll trauma that i'm seeing is really 9-11 And because it was so quickly after 9-eleven that The Truth Movement started people were noticing bullcrap all kinds of... I mean there's just yeah conspiracy theories no trauma Trauma because we all know the truth. The real story has holes in it at least It's like a lot of stuff doesn't make sense

28:07 But we've been suppressed. Oh, you can't talk about it... oh no... conspiracy theorists I think that's part of the overall trauma It's unresolved man! Yeah we killed some guy through his body in the ocean thanks Obama but you know we were supposed to be in Afghanistan but then we went into Iraq People are... well this actually came up in my phone conversation with my handler last night Okay, I called her all ears. Yes. I called Pachanik actually I called him in the in the afternoon and he picked up cuz I can't talk to you right now So why? He says I'm the middle of my Zumba class Exactly commercial He's kidding right no No because when he called back last night and like alright first of all what the hell is going on with you And your zumba class well You should talk

29:06 Meaning? Yeah. Meaning what? Well, you do spin! I mean it's the same thing It's just another version of an exercise thing like Pilates or whatever the other ones that... What are these classes you got? Pilates You got Zumba You got fellatio You got spin There is a whole slew of these things I love the Spin Fellatio class That's my favorite Well he said yeah now remember He's originally from Cuba too I mean he lived in Cuba And I said, what is this Zumba shit? He mentions like oh there's the... it combines this dance and that dance. And I go three times a week he says are you good?

29:43 I'm a very good dancer. And somehow, I believe him that he's totally into it. People can dance. He's from Cuba you pick up a beat Well the main thing... You pick up a beat or two The main thing is said is Adam, you know, I am with woman now but he says Zumba class there are no men There are NO MEN! You can score all day long in Zumba Class That was just his little side note. Another no agenda tip! Just so you know... For all you shut-ins. For all you incels, learn how to Zumba So I said hey Steve something interesting happened

30:20 on the show and I said, you know without really taking any position per se about Venezuela we were excoriating the administration for this botch of a job clearly based on or inspired by 80s wag-the-dog scenarios from 1950 strategies. And it's an embarrassment And he's like, oh yeah. And then I go on and say but here is the interesting thing and I told him about the emails that I got that we actually both received one of them and what the content was and how they both pointed or all three of them pointed to Pachanik as the guy with you know with the message that I must tell our viewers! And while i'm telling him this he's cracking up He's laughing like a hyena. I've never heard him this way. He says ah the same stupid people who did this damn coup

31:13 So thanks, you've answered that question. And so he says, oh Adam it's unbelievable. They have messed this thing up so bad and he says I don't understand Elliot Abrams He says he must have taken a backseat to this and handed over the reins to Bolton because he says Elliot Abrams that he did the coup in Chile. He's been involved in other ones of course Iran-Contra and as he says he knows Elliott Abrams quite well He keeps telling me that he almost killed Elliot Abrams because he had killed a couple of his informants who were nuns in church. Right, right we actually talked about this before yeah exactly so he says you know clearly you know this was Bolton running the show he's an idiot and you know the CIA does all the on-the-ground execution of this but he says they messed it up because the way it's supposed to work is really really fast

32:13 And let's just say if you were to do this with Noriega. I'm not saying Steve Pachetnik did this, but let's just say it was Noriega that you were trying to overthrow and what happens is the negotiator eventually goes into the Noriega compound and sits down and says hey you know i'm here to take you out yeah I know because the military has flipped in its time and this is all very civil apparently And I've got three planes, one for you. One for your wives and one for your staff. I've got the houses ready anywhere you want to go. You want to go to Argentina or any place you would want to be? We'll send you there here's a big pallet of cash and they go." That is how the system works

32:57 And they failed, they failed. They never got the... he says the Guaido guy is really the problem He doesn't have the charisma You know I think he said you know stupid fake Obama looking guy who has nothing going for him But! It was very clear. He said we'll refine We'll return This is all- The military will fold even if it means They have to get the three planes and one for the mistresses and wives, etc. for the military command Eventually they'll get around to it He says but this is just so incredibly stupid And it bogs everything down When I ask really what is this all about?

33:42 He says this really only one thing the Russians aren't that important. He says it's really just kind of minimal It's about China, and we don't need the oil you know We've lived without it for a while We had a great system going on where we'd take Venezuela's crude? We refine it bring it back to them then You know then sell it back to them And they go off and sell it and fill up all their sitco filling stations He says, China is the problem. We do not want China getting any access to any oil whatsoever. That's what it's about nothing else which is not like we didn't know it and so then I threw another thing at him because I've been tracking something which you hadn't introduced to the show yet

34:28 As one of our producers said, there's something really odd going on. Well not just odd there is some bad stuff going on once again between Serbia and Kosovo. Now you remember this whole region especially with Bosnia-Herzegovina was a big mess in the 90s... Was it 90s? Well, it's Clinton's era. Yeah, Clinton's era in the 90s and we wound up cruise missile-ing a couple of people and it is still a huge mess. Accidentally by some weird accidence since these things are so accurate blowing up a Chinese embassy Just funny how that happens

35:04 So the reports are now coming in that there's once again all kinds of strife between Serbia and Kosovo, Albania is playing a part in this. And the producer who sent me all this information said I think they're trying to do something because what is happening in Serbia China has named its new gateway for rail to Europe They have already built a high-speed rail between Belgrade and What's the country over there? Yeah, doesn't matter. They've already put in high-speed rail infrastructure

35:43 They, you know they're talking a real big game. They're putting all this money in and I said you know Steve if our game is to stop China then this could be the next theater of some bullcrap which would be really bad to have a repeat of the 90's he said did you say Serbia? I said yeah He says ha! Oh... This is what we call a mouse trap I said, mousetrap. Yeah we're mouse trapping the Chinese He says the Serbians are the most ruthless Most bloodthirsty people in the world And they will quote fuck up the Chinese He says the Serbian mafia and he says by the way They're mostly all Russians but this is the worst worst just killers absolute killers and he says if it's Serbia Says i'm happy

36:35 I'm happy about that. And who sponsors Serbia with weapons is Israel, mainly because the Jews did not...I am quoting here..the Jews did not forget how Serbia saved the Jews in the Second World War and so they're giving weapons and making sure everything's all set up and tight for any operations they need to do So China could run into a very nasty problem in Serbia. And I've heard this too! Never take investment from Serbs Because they want it back. So I think, well that's not the way the game is played... So it seems like while everyone is still talking a big Russia game, the real worry is indeed China which as we know from Joe Biden is not a big deal! Those guys are okay over there they're just trying to be good guys yeah they've kind of good guys and that's my report. I think that's a good report Yeah that's the report from The Handler That would give you an A for that report

37:39 Okay, well that keeps us up to speed on what's going on. Yes now in other areas of events There's some local stuff there's the illegal surveillance clip democracy now it's kind of interesting Oh yeah So I'm watching these these hearings and there was one little thing that I think people should need because if you are I'm not recommending Anybody do this which is turn on C-SPAN and listen to these idiots But There is this thing they do it's called I moved to strike the last word. We've talked about this Yeah, but I got a good clip from C-SPAN that explains it quite nicely. The gentleman from Massachusetts rise I moved to strike the last word gentlemen recognized for five minutes. What purpose does the gentleman from Pennsylvania rise? To strike the last word. Gentleman recognized for five minutes

38:29 What does it mean when a member of the House says, I move to strike the last word? Is a question from a viewer in California. The house most often amends bills under the five minute rule that means five minutes is allotted to each side of an amendment, the mover and opponent other members may get five minutes on their own if they offer an amendment which is just what they do when they moved to strike the last word by House precedent these amendments are considered to be automatically withdrawn after 5 minutes Members recognize they are used to lengthen debate and no votes are ever taken on them. What purpose does a gentleman from Minnesota rise? Mr Speaker, I rise to strike the last word. Gentlemen is recognized for five minutes They also did something else which was a real TV move Is that... They went through the roll call again And everyone's like hey! Uh what was my vote recorded as? Hey did you get my vote It was like some weird time stretch it's you know it's pathetic

39:27 Well, I did catch an ISO from the Nadler committee that i just thought was good. Oh here it's all the way at the top Those in favor respond by saying aye Aye Opposed no No That's good! Did you sweeten that or is that the way it came out? No! That's great! Nothing! Those in favor respond by saying aye Aye Opposed no No That's good. End of show, end of show ISA. The reason it sounds like it does is because you couldn't hear anybody. Someone was near the mic. So Nadler says... and Nadler's the one that says I and two guys right next to him who are both Republicans decided to bring it up a notch so that he didn't know. That's great. So they still have it. That's funny

40:21 So I'm listening, talking about since you're in the process of doing a little sub clip. It'd be nice to ask next time you do your monthly with Pachanik. Ask him about Moldova. There's this very, I will give credit it's a video podcast so it's not really to me a true podcast but this guy does this thing and people can look it up on YouTube is called Bald and Bankrupt and they get... This is the bald guy who was going around various countries and he just roaming around. I think it's not Georgia or Ukraine, it's some really far out middle of nowhere place and he walks into this village and the women ask him she said where'd you come from? And he talks to them. He speaks decent Russian as a Russian area. She says oh my God, I'm surprised your alive! You walk through that forest nobody goes in there is filled with wolves

41:16 And so this is the kind of thing, this guy's always wandering around. So he's in Moldova and his idea was why would anybody go to Moldova for a vacation at the Capitol? And he just shows what a hell hole it is as Trump would have it, a shithole place You can always tell I'm sorry, but wait wait But anyway So I got he has a lot of things say but I got I think the crux of it is this clip you can always tell when? In a poor country when you have signs saying we will buy hair If you've gotta sell your head to pay the bills then you know you're in a bit trouble Unfortunately, I can't sell my hair unless they were a bit gray beard what a place. Oh

41:59 You got any hair to sell? You want to make some money, come to Moldova. We can sell your hair." Did you see the hair email we got from the lawyer? What? We got an email about natural hair...we were talking about the natural hair Yeah With Miss USA and her natural hair And so this- I guess you missed it! I think you were on The Note Anonymous As you noted, the winner of this year's Miss USA contest—a lawyer—vigorously pointed out how she wore her hair in a natural way. She may have tapped into the Natural Hair Movement's own history of which I'm mostly ignorant but I'll submit to you that the winner made her remarks because another independent strain of thought —the legal profession's push for diversity and inclusion

42:48 And he goes through quite a detailed account of his law firm. And he said, there's just some important highlights here. As almost any practicing attorney can tell you race gender class religion and other immutable characteristics are a part of many professional conversations. Attorneys are regularly reminded of their unconscious biases ways to eliminate those biases and the need to hire attorneys of color to satisfy institutional clients demands also how courts treat criminal defendants differently based upon the melanin content Similarly, it's common to hear attorneys and this hurt me when I heard this. Similarly it is common to hear attorneys complain openly and in formal settings about white men the positions they occupy and the power that they wield to the supposed detriment of all who are not like them." That's kind of frightening when lawyers are doing that. Oh yeah

43:47 And so, well everyone's doing it. So it's not just the lawyers right? Well anyway going through you know his experiences and how they have off sites where all they talk about you know It's a diversity off site but really only people who are deemed diverse such as him because he says I check all The boxes on Brown and you know half Polish and so he gets invited to all these He says, and he talks about how you know the I mention all this because an undercurrent among those who invest instigate these conversations coordinate such events is the belief that individuals have a right to their own story appearance sense of self even in a professional and traditionally conservative lowercase e environment. Perhaps that's part and parcel of fighting against some very real historical inequities in our legal system at any rate it's encapsulated quite well in the job candidate I interviewed

44:41 A woman who arrived with a nose ring and an unshaven mustache. She got the job." The USA, Miss USA winner is perhaps the best embodiment of where the trend might lead which was exactly what you talked about! Yeah About the idea that you have to hire people with anything any way they look Which I'm not against but it's uh it's an interesting observation certainly how they're going about it Well I'm totally against it You're against...uh..what? hiring people for certain positions and ignoring the way they look. I just don't think it's acceptable to hire somebody with a mustache, which draws attention away from whatever it is you're doing as a business. I mean drawing attention to yourself in certain situations is not what is needed or wanted by an employer

45:34 and to force it on an employer I think is unfair to the employer. It hurts their business, for example if I have two companies there's one woman with a mustache because she's loaded on testosterone for example to minimize lesbian bed death that we talked about some years ago she's all pumped up with testosterone as you got a big mustache. I ran into a moustached bagger at the Whole Foods the other day You're shopping with the elites again, huh? Oh yeah. And so she's there with a mustache and no big deal in their whole foods that we expect kind of to see the oddities but another situation you have two companies and you have two women ones with the mustache one doesn't have a mustache and she's attractive and there's two companies doing the exact same business and your forced to hire that one with the moustache to do something at maybe front facing other words customers see her

46:24 You put yourself at a disadvantage to the other person because everybody knows that if you're gonna buy from one, you have two choices. I'm gonna probably buy from the woman with this more attractive than the one that's maybe off-putting because she has to wear this mustache as a political statement so I'm totally against it. I think employers should do whatever they wanna do in terms of hiring and they want hire women with a mustache yeah let them. Yeah dream on! That's not how...that's not the trend The trend is moving away from that. I'm telling you my opinion is because you said, You're fine with it? I'm not! That's interesting...I don't think I said you're fine with it.. I said you're NOT FINE WITH IT!! No no, YOU SAID YOU are fine with it Oh me?! Yeah, I don't care. Yeah, you don't care But now that you put it....well yeah I guess I just don't care. I mean I live in Austin so maybe I am just immune. I just see this stuff everywhere

47:27 Well, I see it believe me. I can't believe you see it more than I do Oh man Austin please Actually had a meeting yesterday with the DJ for our wedding Who will be the only black guy at the wedding as far as I know? He's probably one of the few black guys in Austin. But he is from the UK. He has a little British accent, yeah he has dreadlocks and been here six years. I just wanted to meet him so I could only converse with him over the phone or email. Then we were chatting away And I said, well what's it like to be the only black man in Austin Texas? And he says you know I gotta tell ya and you and I John we discussed how racist they are in the UK but he made an interesting observation. He said for all the bullshit that is talked about America The opportunities here for anybody of color certainly black these are so incredible

48:22 He says, whereas in the UK when everyone was invited in from Jamaica which is his roots and all of the colonies and you know this is back in the what was that? The Edward Heath days so it's just the 50s 60s like hey everyone we screwed over in the colonies come and live here. But they kept these people in low-paying, low wage jobs. Never really had a conversation, public discourse or conversation about the differences in race and just race in general. He says that in America You know, once there was desegregation you got things like historically black colleges and universities. You've got the NAACP for good or bad because you have all these different things and you have an upper class super wealthy black.

49:11 black middle class and of course lower, uh, lower class. But he found in his comparison the United States is far less or I wouldn't say that he said far less racist but he said the opportunity is almost like equal footing and he was very pleased with... He says you know as he still has to be careful driving while black um but I was surprised in a way delighted to hear what he had to say about that sounds right yeah No, that doesn't sound right if you look at the media. We're just a bunch of racist bad pricks Pricks we are yeah Especially you and me old white men all white men are the worst yeah this is true It's true anyway so that was that

50:04 Mustachioed. Yeah, they're mustachioed the problem is that testosterone starts to affect their voice You're going back to that Trying to move on from this Okay Switch gears and go to the by-election that just happened in Canada Oh, okay a by election is I'm sorry you're out your quick on the draw today Well, you're leaving you're leaving gaps in your speech which is typically a cue for me so look at yourself well Yeah, well I felt like setting...I'm gonna probably be setting all these clips up because they're vague. But I just wanted to say a by-election is the same as special elections one of these off the wall elections that we have in the United States out of the blue cuz somebody quit or something like that so this was historical

50:49 We begin with an election that not only made history in this country, it could be a litmus test for how Canadians are feeling about the big three political parties right now. They all went down to defeat in a by-election last night on Vancouver Island losing to the Green Party candidate Paul Manley in Nanaimo Ladysmiths He becomes the second elected Green Party member of Parliament in Canadian history he will join Green Party leader Elizabeth May on the campaign trail ahead of the federal election in the fall Today Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave his assessment of the results. One of the clear things that we've seen from this by-election, and I want to congratulate all the candidates who ran in it is that Canadians are really preoccupied about climate change. Preoccupied?

51:38 Yeah, they see according to him. Now they have two whole green party members of the parliament too and so this is historic because this guy was the second one from part of Vancouver Island and North Victoria So they tried to make it look as though, and this is the thing that would got me about this clip was that there's been reports now and you're starting to see. And I've mentioned in the newsletter a little bit that the Democrats have been doing a lot of polling of Democrats. And currently I don't have a clip of this but it's not hard to document. The number one issue amongst the Democrats is now

52:25 Climate change and it took over from the old number one which was health care, was number one. Everyone's concerned about healthcare. Now wait a minute so let me understand So they're polling just Democrats? I believe so yeah And climate change is number 1? I have a hard time believing this Why would you do that? Why would you have a hard time believing it? Elizabeth Warren just did a flip. Now she's all in on climate change! No, no hold on I'm not saying the politicians aren't seeing that as the strategy because it's easy to promise all kinds of stuff and you know You'll never be around to see if it was true or not That's what politicians do That's great idea by the way I've seen poll after poll after poll that shows climate change at the bottom economy jobs, education this stuff is always at the top

53:07 How can this all of a sudden be the number one issue? And this is amongst Democrats. I believe it's Democrats only, I think with the polls you're looking at as the public polls With the whole electorate. They got climate change as number eight or something normal that you'd think, especially here where we're freezing to death but it should be boiling hot right now. No, apparently they could be bull crap I mean...I'm not saying that somebody didn't get in there and put their thumb on the scale

53:44 and push this to the top because they're all in on it. But no, now everybody's talking more people are under the Green New Deal and climate change, climate change, climate change... And every candidate that is on my list of contenders list that I've published on the Cosmic Weenie Report Card Yes, is all in on climate change and Buttigieg is more so now. Beto O'Rourke who was trying to make hay with... He's got a $5 trillion plan. Impeach, impeach, impeach. Yeah. You know he's really pushing these moves of climate change at the top of his discussions. These people are

54:25 I think clinically insane. This could be a concerted or coordinated effort, Scientific American published an interesting article about children changing their parents' minds about climate change and they've done all kinds of tests Yeah, here's the best part. It turns out because of course they did this amongst Republicans and Democrats and that named as such in their study not conservatives or progressives just Democrats and Republicans And the flip from Republicans according to their research is dramatic So the minute kids go oh I'm afraid of dying of climate change boom They're all in on climate change according to Scientific American. I'd not buy it

55:11 One thing, one of the problems you would kids who get into this have some... I believe and my probably will offend more than a few people. I believe they're not being raised with any parental guidance. I mean, if you had the kids that you'd like to have clips of crying and moaning and groaning they're gonna die any minute it's all because these onerous teachers who are promoting with the kids these ideas to kind of ruin the kids and the parents do nothing about it! We've had situations in my household we had couple of kids that came home from school with some crazy report and we immediately pulled them out of school

55:54 Shut up already! It's science. There is a classic for you, Dr Kiki. So this is becoming... and the Canadians of course are all in on this even though it looks as though the Canadian public is like yeah okay whatever until they get taxed Yes then all of sudden its not so fun anymore is it? Same for the French. It's called lip service and the politicians don't seem to understand it So from Europe came two interesting pieces of news one is, and the way this was reported was great The UK reported that in the past year 0.0% coal was used in generating the United Kingdom's electricity zero point zero

56:52 Of course, what they did... Is this true? Yes. What they didn't mention is that 56.9% was produced by gas No, just a retrofit. Wind 5.3 solar 5.3 so yes this is exactly the way it's going British Petroleum is all in on helping you with your windmill dreams because they get to build more gas-fired plants because windmills don't produce or solar panels the same amount of energy all the time but then in Germany And usually Der Spiegel is quoted a lot in the US press. People say, oh Der Spiegel reported this? Have you seen the new cover of Der Spiegel? No So it's just it's a beautiful illustration of windmills and electricity grid towers except for windmills they're

57:48 Their blades are broken, they're wrapped around. The high power lines are all snapped and everything's crumbling and it's about the Energiewende and there is a translation of it that they put online. The headline, A Botched Job in Germany The conversion of the German energy system lacks power plants, grids and storage. The state has wasted billions." And it goes into great detail over how ever since Fukushima when Germany said, oh that's it nuclear power got to get rid of that Energiewende we're transitioning to the new world, the new world of renewables 160 billion euros later It doesn't work

58:32 everything's become that much more cost-effective and surprising to me the article details that they never, they don't have a Department of Energy in Germany. There is no one single department or even person who is responsible for the energy policy and everyone just kind of went like it's just a great idea we're gonna do we're gonna close everything alright everybody know what to do go! And its failed and they are now admitting it So to have this huge admission, front page there Spiegel and the article is as I said it's detailed. And it's just ignored! Ignored! Well this reminds me a lot of the...I mean people talk about all this stuff and the amount of people with any scientific background whatsoever they're all sociologists or they are their community organizers

59:32 something along the lines of know nothing. Very few of them come from the science community and the ones who do are either all in on climate change, which by the way as I mentioned and I don't have a clip for this either but I told people to keep a lookout because there's a recent study that just came out indicates that As you know, we followed this when it was first global warming and then it became climate change. And then they said well you know global warming is better because it makes people more talkative. That was Newt Gingrich by the way. Republican. And we go back to climate change so good climate change, global warmth... The new one is they've all decided that what you have to talk about in this... I know what it is! Of course you do

1:00:18 What? Climate crisis. Climate crisis is number one because climate crisis apparently gets people's attention. Yeah, it works better. No by the way climate crisis is the same as global warming and climate change It's all the same part of a... you have to do The fact is if you have to create buzzwords in terms and terminology To get people interested in the topic. You scare people Well, just call you're all gonna die. I thought acid rain was good. I love that one. I thought that was a very astute name it sounded really bad acid rain Yeah Of course crisis is great because yeah You can always create a crisis around some topic That's why I think acid rain crisis if they'd kept that one going that would have been better the plug on it for some reason Acid rain crisis would have been a good one as you couldn't you know what? It wasn't working out

1:01:13 It wasn't that much acid rain. If you remember, acid rain which was another one of these things to scare the public was going to melt everything! Yeah we were literally going to melt away from the acid and then we had the hole in the ozone layer and just having a hole in anything is good You know, it's like hey if you say you got a hole in your pants or hole in your boat people respond to these words. Climate change was... did what it was supposed to do and made people less interested global warming wasn't really good enough so Yeah, climate crisis. And then you promote this idea of in 12 years we're through even though like they mentioned in the last show had the clip with Hanson talking about 1988 he claimed that the West Side Highway New York would be underwater and no nothing going on. This is unbelievable

1:02:07 With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to the man who put the C's in both words of climate crisis John Cena.

But this guy did he's in Arlington Massachusetts gave $333 dollars and I do have his note which I just got like a second ago believe or not because I'm trying to fill in the blanks here Sorry in advance for the headache.

I commit that after we get through the next couple of weeks, we should be showing up for some meetups again. It's going to be time!

1:16:47 I've been to Copenhagen quite a few times and I've always regretted the fact that I've never been to that amusement park that's there. The world's first amusement park! I don't know anything about this? What?! No, I don't know anything about the worlds first amusement park in Copenhagen Oh it's...the Tivoli Gardens or something like that? Let me look it up Yeah, it's a fantastic place from photos. What were you doing in Denmark in general if you've been there a couple of times? I've been there more than two times. I went there about five times we used to have a... You got some tail over there man? A piece yeah, PCA, a piece of PC magazine used to be have a branch there and we'd... Ah yes! Of course aren't you aren't you stood old days when I was going to get to go all over the world buy something else is dime. Yeah that's when there was money and cable too

1:17:38 There was money all over the place until the internet came along. The internet when it came along and screwed everything up, and now you know we're taking a vow of poverty. We just sit at home I love how you tweeted out that Bloomberg article yet again another article about making money in podcasting with some glaring omissions of people they might have spoken to. Yeah, well I'm not even putting myself in the league that you're in so but I like to hound people about the fact that they ignore and they never talk to Weiner either. No no. Of course he's not a podcaster and doesn't care so much but you are an actual working living working podcaster who has been podcasting pretty much since you invented it

1:18:25 And you invented it so you could podcast. Yeah, well I saw I could do radio without all the hassle. But with that get fired and burning down the studio. Well there's that then I think I tweeted that I'm no longer going to tell people how to do it. I'm taking the secrets of money making and podcasting into my grave Yes! And I tweeted after that... That I know this same information and now doubling my rates All right, everybody. You're up to speed on lots of things but as John said mostly we want to thank and that's the whole intent of our segment Thank people who are the executive producers and associate executive producers of episode 1136 Of The Best Podcast in The Universe you too can be an exec or an associate exec Or just support us any way you can by going to devorak.org

1:19:15 And certainly you learned something new. I mean, go out and propagate about Copenhagen! Our formula is this... We go out we hit people in the mouth. Those in favor respond by saying aye. Aye. Opposed no? Nooo. On the fly just doing stuff on the fly yeah that's good it's very funny quick clip yes I just wanted, because I promised to at least mention it. The Royals baby! Oh brother yeah... And Britain's new Royal Baby now has a name he is Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor the parents say Prince who are Prince Harry of course and his American wife Meghan Markle announced it today and they showed off their newborn baby for the first time the baby is seventh in line to the British throne

1:20:17 So I saw a funny article. It was in the Los Angeles Times, that's why even brought it to our party today. Headline will Meghan Markle and Prince Harry raise their baby to be black? What? L.A Times! What a racist commentary But will the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, whose very marriage was... Are they going to make him play basketball is that what they're talking about I'm gonna read from the article He's gonna talk in Ebonics

1:20:56 You're so racist. Will the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, whose very marriage was a break from royal traditions, break with the tradition of British royal family life and raise their boy their way? He'll learn plenty about his royal background being seventh in line to the throne What will he know about its American family?! He'll know is Royal when photographers incessantly snap his pictures at events But I'm guessing that one of these first questions to his parents will be am i black The answer? Yes, you are. And if he didn't guess it from looking at his light-skinned mother then he need only look at his maternal grandmother Doria who lives in Los Angeles I mean... It's a terrible story. It's tongue and cheek but... Maybe it's tongue and cheek You're not supposed to write news articles that are tongue and cheek

1:21:44 Well, I don't know if it's a news article. It looks like an opinion piece. Oh, if its an opinion piece then that's okay you can do whatever you want Let me see if they list this as opinion Yeah Opinion enter the fray...opinion Okay But anyway I thought it was funny but also thought it was a valid point He is not even going to be raised as an American he is gonna be raised as British upper class snoot Possibly That what you do It's not going to be easy to raise with a butler. How many Americans have a butler? None! Do you want to do just, just a quick little wrap up of anyone for 2020 I mean since we talked earlier about the report card is has anything changed and then i'm still seeing actually I saw some betting odds Trump is 2-1

1:22:41 Biden is 16 to 1 and then it pretty quickly goes to the rest which you know go up into once you get to Mayor Pete yeah like at 160 to one that he's gonna win. The presidency, that is not just the... That sounds pretty reasonable so I don't think Biden's at the top of the list my list starts with Sanders I think he's got the best shot And he has the best chance of becoming president of the group. And then it goes to Hillary! I love that you're still on that. Oh yeah, by the way can i just say something? This happens every election cycle and I know when I say it only encourages trolls

1:23:28 But when I get emails, hi Adam! Thank you for your interest in joining Pete4America. We received your application materials and our team will review your applications soon. Dudes don't do this to me. I want to be on the Pete 4 America campaign. People do this all the time to me Yeah, well adamant curry.com is easy to remember yeah, so John got Hillary and of course in the last couple days in New York Times just had an editorial The New York Times is becoming the worst newspaper funniest in my book the funnier they said there's

1:24:14 Is there any reason I can't remember the headline, but it's along the lines of is there any reason we should have another white person as president or no white man As president. We'd have to have a woman and when they said this is a Hillary thing This isn't The New York Times coming in for Hilary They don't surely don't think that Kamala Harris Or Kamala or Kamala camera, whatever she wants to call herself is has a chance in hell. And of course Klobuchar and Warren are out there not even on the top five as well maybe one of them is but no it's Hillary Hillary's number two on my list and then number three is Biden and I think he's falling because you can't get up and they can't get up yeah there you go uh and after that it's pretty much you know a crap shoot somebody says somebody has to make a move

1:25:09 So we... Maybe Buttigieg is number three. I'd have to go look, but Buttigeg is a Buttigeg-edge. Mayor Pete. Buttigege. My boy! Mayor Pete. Buttigege. Yes you can talk to me. I'm a spokesperson for the campaign now. He's moving up but he's only moving up till runs out of money Right sorry well I did get a funny little short clip from Andrew Yang who I'm sure doesn't appear on the radar anywhere He does amongst the Gen Z, the Zoomers. Yes! Well... That's about it we do have zoomers that listen to the show and they call us and bitch that we don't talk about Yang enough Okay let's talk about Yang I thought he had a very funny moment he had a moment where his campaign really came together around a chant you know if you if you really want to succeed in American politics you need to have people chanting yes so now we get her up

1:26:06 Locker or four more years is one that you hear a lot What else do we hear? Well, let's listen to Andrew Yang. This was at the rally in Seattle I'm gonna be the first president to use PowerPoint in the State of the Union Wait for it PowerPoint champ don't do it Yes, this is the nerdiest presidential campaign in history

1:26:44 We did it, Seattle! We weren't quite there until that moment but then you just did it. I gotta tell you honestly if he had a PowerPoint that was any good He could now do that people would dig that look at this PowerPoint Just have a couple of slides showing You know really idiotic shit That's going on how are you gonna fix it on the next slide? It would work. I think people... PowerPoint! PowerPoint! I'm gonna go back to my old commentary which was when Ross Perot was running. He used to have these little pieces of cards that he would show to the camera and point at different things on the card and exemplify what he was talking about with an illustration

1:27:30 Now, PowerPoint obviously if it was a PowerPoint era when Ross Perot was running he could have run a PowerPoint. And I got into a discussion with somebody the other day and they think PowerPoint is like ah! If you can't just go up there and talk you know you're not getting any good. But that's not true. And I've done a lot of speeches probably more than this guy. And I found that if you don't have PowerPoint, PowerPoint serves two purposes to do public speaking You know what he needs? He needs a white PowerPoint. That's what he needs is one of them is their notes that you can just show up on the screen so we don't have to keep looking down on the dias for your notes and it also keeps people bit they want to look at something besides you and a lot of times there, you don't have the opportunity to be on the floor roaming around, you're jumping up and down and doing crazy stuff cause they don't Mike your right most venues. Right. You should use have a podium mic in you and

1:28:28 If you were mic'd properly and you had some, you could run up and down and jump off the stage. And do things like that and get people's attention but you need something for them to look at I don't think it is a bad thing necessarily. I'm just saying he could turn it into his thing He would stand out! He could! Instead of oh I am the gay guy from The Hamlet Sorry I let that go by You're absolutely correct It would be a very, it could be a major... He could be the PowerPoint president. Think about it! Yeah The white PowerPoint president. I still love it! And he would start his little speech off the way Trump does, and you have to have the big giant screens instead of the little ones...and they could start to chant PowerPoint, PowerPoint, and then he'd flip on the PowerPoint and the crowd goes crazy! Wooo! We all go crazy! I'm gonna be the first President to use PowerPoint in the State of the Union how do y'all know that?

1:29:24 He said in the State of the Union. That's what a great idea! I'm all in, I think I'm all-in for Mayor Pete now. He should use... this was Yang not Pete Oh sorry Yang why am I thinking Pete? You already lost apply It's working so well I forgot who it is But he should not just use it for the state of the union you need to use it first for his rallies Power point! Oh my goodness. That is fantastic! That was a highlight for me and that shows you how bad it is, the PowerPoint president. Fantastic. Here's a piece of news that not not a lot of people discussed I don't know why and she came out this Pam Anderson she went out yes visited Julian Assange and only a few people did... People don't like to cover this. And she was visiting him

1:30:21 with some regularity while he was in the embassy. Yeah, and only if... Democracy Now I believe is the one who covered this story The actress Pamela Anderson visited WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at the high-security Belmarsh prison in London Tuesday. Assange serving a 50 week prison sentence for skipping bail in Britain and faces possible extradition to the United States to face charges related to the Chelsea Manning leaks Pamela Andersen spoke outside the prison after seeing him Obviously it's been very difficult to see Julian here and to make our way through the prison, to get him was quite shocking and difficult. He does not deserve to be in a supermax prison he has never committed a violent act. He is an innocent person. He sacrificed so much to bring the truth out we deserve the truth

1:31:17 And that's all I can say. I'm sorry, I feel sick. I feel nauseous." Pamela Anderson was wearing a cloak covered with references to the history of free speech in Britain as well as prisons tyranny and the levelers Why doesn't anyone really get her to sit down for does she not do interviews? Because it to me has been interesting since the first time she visited Assange it was reported on and I don't know her personally. I've met her once, I think at the MTV Beach House just like a peek but i do remember seeing that the home movie with her and Tommy Lee which is basically of him having sex with her a lot and steering the boat with his wang which is just a thing to be seen so this is amazing man as Tommy Lee um but in that otherwise really lame

1:32:14 Home video she comes across as really sweet and really you know tender and innocent so yeah I'd like to understand a mean girl. Yeah, I'd like to understand this relationship She has with the with if it's just Julian or if its free speech in general And what is her person? I mean can no one get where the interview can no one sit down is a blonde dingbat all right That's it. I'm gonna. I'm gonna get her on interview with Pam Anderson on this show oh Okay, I can make this happen. Yeah you should and there's someone out there who can help me? I'm sure we'll find it We'll find it. I think that would be fantastic You know yeah, she'll interview with you Who what pod what I now do a podcast Nevermind forget about it. I don't want to have anything to do with the podcast so we've got the Trump rotation back in play Yes indeed where are we at now he's broke

1:33:18 Yeah, and then we have David K. Johnston this smiling gnome he looks like a troll on Democracy Now going on and on he hates...this guy is the number one Trump nemesis Yes almost two cents of every dollar reported as losses one year by everyone in the United States were reported by Donald Trump And what this shows is something I've been saying and writing about Trump for 30 years He's a terrible businessman. His business model is not to get an enterprise, to nurture it, to grow it, to make it more profitable over time. His business model is the same as a mob bust-out. Get your hands on an enterprise, squeeze all the cash out of it Don't pay your vendors Try to cheat as best you can your employees don't pay the bankers and Trump once said I borrowed money knowing I wouldn't pay it back

1:34:13 and then leave the carcass and go on to the next deal. That's why the art of the deal is so significant in all of this, because Trump's business model is to rip off one person after another who gets involved with him thinking he will make them wealthy while he is destroying their wealth Donald is after Bernie Madoff arguably greatest wealth destroyer in American history And the thing is, just like our CIA and you know the coup meisters of Venezuela. This is done really whether it's subconscious for this guy or not these types of stories and narratives are launched to really wind up with one little thing at the end that'll remain in the history books so In this case

1:35:07 You know, that he was a liar. He was broke. He's never been rich it was all his daddy's money and that's all they really care about because that will be used in the 2020 election and the amount of emails I get from people who listen to No Agenda to hate it... The script is we've seen before like how the hell does anyone not make money in the casino business? And I said, well let me just Google that for you. Las Vegas casino bankruptcy and they're all either in receiver shift or bankruptcy They're in chapter 11 in and out it's how it works You know? I'm not saying that Trump did a great job clearly not but then this is up until 95

1:35:56 When he was called the comeback kid, I lived in New York during this time. He was the comeback kid look at him! He was dead on the vine and he came back mainly because the banks couldn't take him out they needed him there's too much money involved. Yeah, too big to fail. He was literally too big to fail for the banks of that time So, well the casino business you said is true. It's true! Debbie Reynolds had a casino in Vegas and she folded and the frontier was when I one of these after another either fold it or there were many would like to do they had just demolished the place where the star does this places don't stay in business that want to stay in business

1:36:42 are run at an extremely high level and I wouldn't say that a lot of them are money laundering operations that are extremely well set up. Let's not say that, no why would you want to do that? Trump didn't know how to run in a casino it wasn't one of his core competencies they bitch about Trump being crap into casino business It was not a core competency with him They bitch about him not buying Eastern Airlines and making it Trump airlines, and it folded. That wasn't a core company. It wasn't one of these airline guys who goes from airline to airline to start their own business. He's like me he had a bunch of money like yeah let's fly! Let's burn in the air! It never works out. It's not that's not a good idea don't get into aviation. There are plenty high-tech guys

1:37:35 who made a lot of money, very specialized in computers and the rest. They get out of the business and they go into aviation or they go into these other things that break them because it's their core competency is... I mean, it's not like Elon Musk whose core... You have to first off figure what your core competency is. Elon Musk yeah he makes cars doesn't make any money but if makes cars he makes electric cars, he makes solar panels, he makes rockets Well, how do you be a rocket man if your car guy doesn't make any sense? His core competency Competency has got nothing to do with any of that. His core competency is getting on the government door Yes finding ways to leverage free money That's what the come and he just saw these two big holes in the end in all schemes He saw I can hire all these and he also noticed at NASA

1:38:29 Had a bunch of guys they had to lay off because they were folding pretty much folding shop when they gave up on a lot of stuff and there are all these superstar really smart aeronautical engineers that could come over and build rockets. It's coincidental you bring this up I was just watching the Real Tonight show And the Real Tonight Show is a place where you go to hear someone interesting speak about a topic that then you may or may not be interested in with comedy intertwined. Unlike what Fallon and Kimmel and Colbert think, the true tonight show of today, the generation today is The Joe Rogan Show

1:39:08 And Joe had an MIT artificial intelligence research scientist on, Lex Fridman. Very interesting guy way too long to make into any... Well I have one clip lots of interesting information about artificial intelligence how completely unintelligent it really is but when it comes to the self-driving cars or in Elon Musk's case the Tesla autopilot He brought up the lack of situational awareness that artificial intelligence has and the unlikelihood it'll have at any time soon, which resulted in a very interesting question regarding self-driving vehicles. Which you in particular be interested about because they're roaming around California? One of the big assumptions as human beings is that we think that driving is actually pretty easy

1:40:03 And we think that humans suck at driving. Those two assumptions, you stay in the lane and stop for the stop sign it's pretty easy to automate. The other one is you think like humans are terrible drivers so it would be easy to build a machine that outperforms humans at driving. Now there are I think a lot of flaws behind that intuition We take for granted how hard it is to look at the scene, like everything you just did picked up moved around some objects. It's really difficult to build an artificial intelligence system that does that. To be able to perceive and understand the scene enough, to understand the physics of the scene like all these objects... Like how to pick them up? The texture those objects, the weight, to understand glasses folded and unfolded open water bottle all those things is common sense knowledge that we take for granted We think it's trivial but

1:40:59 There's no artificial system in the world today nor will there be for perhaps quite a while that can reason Do that kind of common-sense reasoning about the physical world add to that Pedestrians so add some crazy people in this room right now into the whole scene Ryan being able to notice like who this guy is an asshole look at him was he doing what does He do and get off the skateboard. Oh, Jesus isn't traffic yeah? And And the considering not that he's an asshole. He's a respectable skateboarder That in order to make him behave a certain way you yourself have to behave a certain way So it's not just you have to perceive the world You have to act in a way they get to assert your presence in this world, you have to take risks so in order to make the skateboard or not cross the street you have to perhaps accelerate if you have the right away and

1:41:52 These are that there's a game theoretic where I'm game of chicken to get right. We don't even know how to approach that as As an artificial intelligence research community and also the society do we want an autonomous vehicle that speeds up in order to make? Pedestrian not cross, I like this. I like this question hmm. I really do hey Do you want these vehicles in order to sometimes? Take your right-of-way or make traffic flow you speed up. Do you want autonomous vehicles doing that? I think it's a good question That's a great question. I don't know if it's a great question, that's a great question he also mentions and it was too long to clip but the way Tesla in particular so they do of course a lot of tracking and testing they run new software releases in shadow mode so they can see if the car is performing the way that they expect it to but they have every nine seconds

1:42:52 I think his statistic was every nine seconds there's a moment in an Tesla autopilot or on average, where the Tesla autopilot has a moment where it makes the decision but you probably should grab the wheel. And obviously Tesla doesn't really even let go of the wheel that long except for a second or two because of all the accidents that have happened. But people are still putting oranges in the steering wheel or a water bottle and apparently that tricks it into thinking that you're holding on to at least, yeah one or two hands on your wheel? Yeah people there's tons of videos of people doing that but here's what's interesting... So people are violating the rules of engagement yes of course! Of course they're people who are super stupid particularly those that drive in Teslas

1:43:37 But what he asserts is because there are the errors or the, what they call oh crap moments. Reasonably frequent. That's why people are staying alert He says the better Tesla makes it The less alert people will become and the more accidents are likely to happen because they start to rely entirely on it And these in you know, and an old crap moment might happen You know once in a trip then you just use become complacent then we will see more deaths this guy is like give He certainly feels that artificial intelligence has a place in the market, but maybe not on the road. Driving around at 4,000 pounds of steel... Well it's plastic with uh do they have steel in that car or is it all just plastic? No no it's steel there's outside steel okay and the frame is still you have to be steel but it's all glued together yeah glued that's the last part anyway It's well worth watching that interview

1:44:42 Then there was a There was this shooting in Colorado Highlands Ranch and we got a number of emails And this shows you the power of Gitmo nation of our producer network. Did you read these? Did you get them I think he might have been copied on one or two with him No, the first one wasn't just a general local overview of the press Adam and John and I think keeping both of these Anonymous, boots on the ground. Watching local coverage of the shooting and the first few reports that struck out to me was that anchors would say shooters had quote plenty of ammunition in part due to ease of buying it I'm not sure if this is media tipping its hat but this event will no be a focus gun control but how ammo was sold and changes needed

1:45:25 And he says, a blue wave is running Colorado and all kinds of bills are passing in record time. Again this was reported before the numbers were in on the number of victims but the reports at that time included that both shooters were taken without the need to engage them. Now today's reports have two new items A car found in the garage of one of the shooters had graffiti all over it The second is one of the shooters is transgendered female-to-male which I think now we know seeing this person show up in court. The channels no longer say the names or show the pictures of either shooter I'm thinking, this is our producer, the car was spray-painted last week as a result to the trans person being bullied at school and this shooting was their way getting back overall difficult situation to report on if this turns out to be true so... Very hard to report on Well another producer keep me anonymous please

1:46:20 has lived in Highlands Ranch for over 11 years. There's some interesting information about schools and Highlands Ranch that the No Agenda community should know about. Highlands Ranch is the Colorado equivalent of Irvine, California. It is a very large planned affluent community." Is that like Stockton? Not Stockton... The Stepford Wives? Is that what he's saying here? Well there'd be a step for somebody when I think of this I'm always thinking to Celebration Florida. To celebrate! The city of crazy people It's a great place. Yes, what you own real estate there? No but I try to visit it or just it's just that very strange place that exists and that was Disney's idea of the future of life. A giant community like this and he never did he died so the Highlands Ranch Community is split about 50-50 pro charter school and anti charter school

1:47:20 The elections for school board are intense. People in pussy hats yelling never Trump are laughable compared to election time around here About eight years ago men in masks showed up to harass people at a rally For the school board candidates that were against charter schools They scared my wife immensely In 2017, My wife was run off the road for having the wrong bumper sticker on her car The charter schools are not run by Gulen as in Mark Hall's documentary, but the fanaticism is the same. The Highlands Ranch STEM school is not only a charter school but also STEM which is science technology engineering and math and if you would John have so aptly covered the stem movement has a Fanatical following when you add Charter School with STEM You get a school that can do no wrong However there are many things wrong with the highlands ranch STEM school And this is the information I think it's fantastic

1:48:13 The school has no school resource officers, which are also known as security guards. The regular public schools have at least one but typically three resource officers and resource officers would be the ones to stop a shooting or intervene Much notably, or most notably in getting to the root of the problem in high school shootings they have no school counselors. The regular public schools are required to have many counselors also the school is a converted warehouse in an industrial area there over 1800 students K-12 packed into a converted warehouse The STEM school spends their money and technology, and the principal. They pay him $300,000 a year." Wow! The Highland Ranch STEM charter school was up for revocation last year but nothing came of it because Charter plus STEM is untouchable so over 1800 kids in a warehouse that have no security guards and are expected to learn topics in science and engineering beyond their grade level with no one help to help with the stress just shut up and code kids

1:49:18 And that's kind of interesting because I got one little clip from Where is it here from the highlands? This is the students who are in the auditorium And someone was starting to speak and they they started a chant of their own. No, it's not powerpoint Again one channel I don't know why mental health they're chanting mentally maxwell house Mental health mental health Mental health. So now they're screaming for mental health, but it seems like this is a perfect combination to have something horrible go down No counselors? No counselors! And this is what charter schools can become and we appreciate the observations from our producers in the area But my money is definitely on the bullying I think that seems like

1:50:24 And that could have definitely set someone off pretty bad. No counselors, complicated. Well you should probably – people should read an old novel by John Hershey called The Child Buyer. Ooh I'm not familiar with this! Yeah, it's about a bunch of kids that are really smart. It reminds me every time I hear all these stories about STEM schools and some of these things like so much a very intelligent kids have somehow been all rounded up and if you're really smart you end being plugged into something like a psych a proto matrix story only nobody is asleep just Something out there people might want to take a look at If your board is not a long novel we should put it on the list Put her on the list yes

1:51:13 Let's see. Well, I've got a couple things first of all did we play this week? We had this thing you had the judge Napolitano clip going on and on about how Trump was obstructing justice oh yeah that was a promo for his show yeah Yeah, did you have the... Did I play Dershowitz's version of that? Of his counter to it. No! We never played it. I wanted to play and get off my list because it really refers mostly to Napolitano and is pretty good as Dershowitz obviously, you know... Should I play the Napolitano clip that we played for reference? Yeah, yeah, play that clip and then play Dershowitz Okay let me see

1:52:05 No, I know what would have been obstruction. Here we go So when the president asked his former advisor and my former colleague in Fox KT McFarland to write an untruthful letter To the file knowing the government would subpoena it that's obstruction of justice When the president asked Corey Lewandowski his former campaign manager to get Mueller fired that's obstruction of justice when the president asked his then White House counsel To get Mueller fired and then lie about it. That's obstruction of just okay so he goes on for three minutes about this all obstruction of justice and Then he of course is propagating that on his program And so now we go to Dershowitz and who with Dershowitz is where in this he's on Fox 2

1:52:53 uh... without one of the other shows which i will get to in a moment professor let's start with the revenge is the president is resisting their subpoenas he's even suing some of these congressional chairs doesn't congress have a right to hear from these Trump officials as their oversight? Congress does, but the courts also have a right to check Congress. I grew up in the McCarthy period where Congress abused its authority to subpoena and bring people in front of committees just to humiliate them just to embarrass them and the courts ultimately stepped in and said enough is enough I suspect we're going to have a real battle. The courts will sustain some of the subpoenas, but will refuse to sustain others if they think they are being used for an improper purpose." Yeah Trump is really going to the mat on this he's refusing to submit any of these subpoenas or allow his staff to testify Now i want to play something for you The president said today at the NRA convention that he talked about his efforts

1:53:50 That he says were meant to take him down these efforts by the government watch they tried for a coup didn't work out So well corruption at the highest level a disgrace Spying surveillance trying for an overthrow and we caught him. Are words like coup and overthrow over the top, Professor Grisham? Well generally they are but there was one instance where it wasn't over the top when people talked about invoking the 25th amendment which was for an incompetent president I use the term coup even though i try to be very balanced and reasonable. The 25th amendment was never intended for a president who you simply disagree with. Okay, I need you put your legal scholar hat on one of our own family judge Anthony Napolitano

1:54:36 Well he is raising questions about obstruction of justice. Do you agree? Is this obstruction of justice? I do not agree, I think Judge Napolitano was terrific and we often agree about the law but in my introduction to the Mueller report I go through elements of obstruction of justice The act itself has to be illegal. It can't be an act that is authorized under Article 2 of the Constitution. So firing the FBI director? Can't, it's not even a close case. Look, the best analogy is President George HW Bush pardoned Caspar Weinberger on the eve of his trial in order to stop the Iran-Contra investigation. The special prosecutor said he did it for that reason nobody suggested obstruction

1:55:19 It can't be obstruction of justice if the president is acting within his authority. Nixon obstructed justice because he acted outside his authority, destroying evidence paying hush money telling his subordinates to lie to the FBI. Napolitano says he told people write letters to the file He told people to go and deliver messages not obstruction of justice Those are all legal acts If you ever told somebody to lie in front of a grand jury that would be obstruction Yeah, I think we're gonna have to outlaw any anymore clips about this topic. Um it's like so boy It's crazy boring goes bad and it just fills up the news media was just bothered Bothers me yeah, I do have some news from Texas Texas has now put together a bill that

1:56:11 which will codify the law regarding battery-operated scooters. And I think it's going to be very problematic, although i'm happy with what they've decided... ...I think it's too late and we're gonna see a lot of dead kids, dead hipsters and I'll explain why So here's the rule. If it passes and then the governor signs it, you must be 16 or older to operate a rented motorized scooter only one person at a time can operate a scooter. Oh man how many times I see two people on those things? Two?! Really!?

1:56:56 Wow. And then they were living in Taiwan in the 60s. Yeah, they can't break that well speeds may not exceed 15 miles per hour for a standing scooter or 20 miles per hour if the person is seated A scooter operator must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians. A scooter cannot be parked in a way that obstructs the sidewalk, path road or any feature designed to help people with a disability and here's the most important one rented scooters cannot be driven on sidewalks and I think this is where we're going to see a lot of dead hipsters Because they all ride on the sidewalk here and the cars are not Hindered by them very much now you put these things in traffic there You can't really see what it is. They're because they're also low to the ground I think we're gonna see people getting flattened

1:57:50 Because they will not… I would say you're probably right and I don't understand some of it because scooters traditionally, which was something you had when you were a kid. You rode on the sidewalks! Right their child's transportation vehicles. child transportation vehicle, also known as a pram. Yes and they're designed for children and children ride on sidewalks because they walk on sidewalks they push their little pushy scooter onto the sidewalk and skateboard...they skateboard on sidewalks And so now all of a sudden you have to move, your skateboarder's supposed to go under the road too? That's what I don't want. Skateboarders are... interestingly most skateboarders are on the road but they've been on the road ever since i've lived in Texas and you know skateboarders this there it's different and it's just different

1:58:46 And they're in and out, they're all over the place. If you are on a skateboard in public anyway... You've got to know what you are doing or else you'll be injured quite quickly. Violations could be punished by fines of up to $200. I personally look forward to it now because we no longer live downtown but if were downtown and someone's Coming towards me on the scooter on the sidewalk once this goes into law, and I'm clotheslining him Yeah Sorry about that arm straight out. That's right clothesline it But this is too little too late now Texas This is not gonna people are so used to these these damn scooters now on On the sidewalk

1:59:29 But more importantly, traffic is used to not having to deal with them. So it has to start all over again and people will die the CDC released their numbers 190 190 people injured With head injuries in had taken the hospital to the hospital since the The e-scooters started in Austin where there were the test city come here kill our hipsters To see how it'll work in the rest of the country hmm Well, that's an interesting situation. Good! At least something is going on Meanwhile we're gonna get this... you heard about the Uber strike? Now is Uber going public this week? It's going public right after the strike I think it's designed to screw with the IPO You think?! The minute I heard the strike well of course what's happening is these drivers who have been completely...you know..it's hard to make money

2:00:30 doing Uber if you want to do it as a full-time gig. It's only gotten more hard and Uber is doing all kinds of nastiness, basically stealing money from the people who drive And I think that they're pissed off about the whole IPO. You know, how do I get my Uber millions? They got nothing to do with it. I'm out here doing all the work and you guys are... If Uber was smart which they're not now, they would have distributed a lot of the stock to the drivers who put in so many hours. In fact, they would have encouraged more. You've got to put in this many hours for the last six months, you're going to get 100 shares or something.

2:01:12 plenty of shares, they're going to go out with something like $80 billion worth of funding. They have so much shares they could have given it which is the Silicon Valley way which is to bribe people yes kill themselves would overwork. Why don't we let Silicon Valley do the coup in Venezuela? Yeah they could do it! They can do a better job They could do a better job, but let's listen to the Uber strike report from PBS. Drivers from ride share companies Uber and Lyft protested their pay in 10 major US cities today they turned off their smartphone apps cutting their connections to would-be customers drivers argue that they are getting poverty wages but the companies they work for are earning billions in profits. Old drivers you know

2:02:02 Everywhere in the country deserve a fair pay and fair treatment. So we are hoping that this will make a big impact and make our base companies listen to us." The strike comes two days before Uber's initial public stock offering, the company says it expects to be valued at 91 billion dollars We've got 91 billion dollars of spending. And what do they lose? Like, they lose 10 million a week? I'll give you a quote she says billions in profits Wait wait wait where did...I missed that she said billions in profits? You didn't catch it! You had to play it over Drivers from rideshare companies Uber and Lyft protested their pay in ten major US cities today They turned off their smartphone apps

2:02:54 cutting their connections to would-be customers. Drivers argue that they are getting poverty wages, but the companies they work for are earning billions in profits. Billions in losses is the correct information? Does she correct it does she correct the error uh do I need to play it again because I don't think so no you don't need to play it again because she doesn't jeez Well, I mean the Democracy Now also reported on a little shorter clips. They brought in a bunch of guys that did a bunch of accounting you know? I was making $1,000 a week and now have to do this have to do that but their take on it was a little more progressive say the least In labor news Uber and Lyft drivers

2:03:41 It goes on with a bunch of complaints, but the point is that again as I said at the beginning And the model of Silicon Valley is to share the wealth, unlike other parts of the world that wonder why they can't make a Silicon Valley operation work. Because these people are too cheap. This could have been prevented this was never a Silicon Valley operation came out of San Francisco by some douchebags

2:04:21 And as a trick, ride sharing bull crap. It was just a scam and so they never got to a clue about sharing the wealth if these drivers would have been given just 100 shares of a piece of stock in this. OK? So there's tens of thousands of drivers. You know the way it works, you can just dilute it. Who cares? Exactly! Everybody gets rich. Just dilute them the hell out of it. Dilute the hell out of it. Nobody notices. Yeah... Well I'm encouraged that they're turning off their phones and I did want to just briefly before we go to our break I want to talk about the Google IO

2:05:01 Which is their developers conference. And did you see this keynote by any chance? No, no I've been disadvited from this thing years ago and I don't pay much attention to it anymore It was very interesting mainly the main thing that they're doing is they are moving a lot of their ML AI machine learning artificial intelligence onto the device itself, into Android. Which makes total sense because... Yes it doesn't work anyway you might as well move it to the device! Well they can't keep up with their data centers everyone if you really want to track someone it needs all be done on that on the device They've made some they say they made a technological breakthrough which is very basic artificial intelligence with different stems

2:05:54 and it's how it really decodes human speech, natural language. That's what they were showing most of but to be able to store all that on your device and then report back in maybe even perfectly aggregated statistics that are more useful for them makes total sense to me And they showed demos where the phone was doing things in airplane mode so you know absolutely no connection to the internet But sadly The entire Google vision, the way I... from the demos I saw and the way they spoke at the keynote is really just turning you into a little piece of stupid ass wetware. Some examples

2:06:37 Now and they're doing all these demos by just talking to the phone in almost natural You'd say hey Google once and you can talk to it the whole time It understands what you're doing this showed this demo where like do this. Do that What's going on here? Take a selfie, and it would do I do all of these things very very quickly faster than of course you could ever use your fingers on the device But here's the great technological advances we will have with a new Google artificial intelligence machine learning on your phone. Number one, when you are at a restaurant you can just point your camera at your check it will immediately and automatically calculate the tip and if you want even split the bill!

2:07:27 I mean this is, it goes right along with this piece they did of a woman in India who can't read. Completely illiterate And she's, oh it's sad music. Oh so horrible that I can't read and my children read. I can't help them with homework." They give her the Google phone and she holds the phone up to the homework and it starts speaking to her. An now she says, this is great because now I can participate in society! Not for a moment was there even an inkling of here's how you could learn to read? No stay stupid you Indian. Stay stupid just listen what Google tells you do right into showing the benefit of all of their mobile tracking.

2:08:13 Everything is taken care of for you. In fact, the way they do maps I can predict for you right now map reading in our lifetime John will become a university course No one's gonna be ever using a map ever again if Google gets their way There is one good thing that I was excited to see with there. I interrupt you just a second while you're on that Just mention yeah Yeah, I have stopped using my navigators very good I've decided that... It's better for your brain. Sorry? It's better for your brain, keep it engaged! It's better for your brain and so what i do is get a map and see where I'm going know the different places okay well just have to remember there are two streets down take a right then find on the left

2:08:59 I do not use the navigator anymore. I stopped using it and if I'm in a, if I'm like driving around Austin and I have to get from here to there, I'll fire up the navigator but for local around town people aren't going to be able to get to the safe way in their own city if they keep using these things and people have them on going to the post office Turn these things off. Yeah, what it's going to do is create a lot of very lazy people and you become completely dependent on it. Speak of dependency on technology this just happened this morning I have a clip from the city of Baltimore You know what we can confirm publicly yesterday that we discovered sometime early yesterday morning that the city was infected with the very aggressive Robin Hood ransomware

2:09:50 The FBI who is currently investigating this certain incident has confirmed that it's a fairly new variant, it's quite aggressive and technicians right now are trying to remediate root cause exactly what's been impacted and affected. We can say with confidence that public safety systems are up and operational 311 is operating the city's phones are operating And for now if anybody needs to contact the city the best way to do it is to pick up the plain old telephone and give us a call all of our phones are working That's about the extent of what I can comment on right now. So ransomware they you know people came into work Unplug your Ethernet everyone computers down there screwed

2:10:35 I mean this is our future. We've got some guy with something that works on 300, 310 megahertz to you know some home security device. Whatever the guy set up it's...the signal was continuous so it blew out the whole neighborhood no one could open their garage doors I mean Professor Ted would love this stuff if he actually you know could get this information in real time and it's affecting our entire life! Sports! Sports You know, you could wake me up in the middle of night and I wouldn't know a thing about sports. But I can tell you that I have a clip from NBA commissioner Adam Silver about how social media and phones are affecting sports! I think there's a few issues going on one is it is a larger societal issue And I know you have a lot of young people work for you at the ringer obviously our players are young We've young people in our office. I mean, I think we live a bit in the age of anxiety

2:11:30 I mean, it's...I've read studies on this. Part of it is a direct product of social media? Yes And those players we're talking about when I meet with them what strikes me is that they are truly unhappy This isn't some show they're putting on for the media When you get...you know and have relations with a lot of players when I'm one-on-one with these guys To the outside world they see the fame the money all the trappings that go with it They're the best in the world of what they do You know, they say how is it possible? Like they could even be complaining and I hear this on television all the time A lot of these young men are genuinely unhappy if you're around a team in this day and age there have their headphones on They're isolated and their head down like as soon as it used to be. I remember years ago Isaiah Thomas said to me championships are won on the bus

2:12:25 And he meant that. And I disagree, one of the comments from the earlier panelists was oh forget those other five guys on the team Those five guys on a team were critically important even if they hardly had any minutes You know usually they were veteran players They were leaders who are able to take players aside in way coach couldn't Yeah Because they'd lived through it It was just something that a teammate could do That a coach couldn't or certainly an owner Or someone...or an administrator in the team This is pretty sad Yeah, do you know what a star NBA player makes like a Steph Curry on a yearly basis once they get to their max contracts? So you're playing a basketball game and you're making... 30 million a year. 40! No it wasn't close enough. That bastard brother of mine he lied to me said it was thirty yeah year after year you make it you know you get a ten-year deal or five years right forty million for him forty million forty million your miserable Hey if anyone has the reason be miserable its us

It's nice. I think it is called mothering day in England. But I don't think its Sunday. Not sure... I'm not really sure about that. I think it's called mothering day. Could be

2:23:36 I have a vaccination. Vaccinated. The link to autism, to be vaccinated. Vaccinations are highly effective. If you have to get sick, sure can't beat the measles So following the measle scare which is now global It's global baby. Everybody is freaked out about measles Germany apparently the health minister proposed so it's not law yet but the germany's health minister proposed a fine if you are not vaccinated that would be 2500 euro fine if you are not vaccinated against measles mumps and rubella what a great scam that is let let's back up for one second remember that

2:24:25 Until recently nobody kept their papers. They kept the papers that they were vaccinated They just got vaccinated or they got the measles right and then you keep a careful record So now you have to show your papers, or yet to pay $2,500 fine well not yet It's it's a proposal. It's it's not law yet, but Most people are on board it is now also and now we've spread to Australia Australia hyping it up. Australia on alert after travel warning issued! University student diagnosed with infectious disease! Measles So if this truly was just a Merck promotion, which by the way worked very well with their sales and their quarterly numbers we saw they crushed expectations as we say in the business CRUSHED then it's surprising but you know everyone is all-in

2:25:25 Everyone's all in on the vaccinations except for Robert Kennedy Jr. We've played many clips of him He has I would call him Like myself a semi-vaxxer not anti-vaxx, but we have to be careful and ask questions nothing wrong with it like I say anyone who says that I'm even anything there your can doors so pro vaccine I always ask if they had their HPV vaccination yet. You should go get that right away by the way look into it a little bit but you'd have to get if you're that much of a vaxxer and that's really what Kennedy jr started with, I believe around the HPV vaccine but now his family is rather upset Robert Kennedy's three oldest children have stood together in joy and loss but now a disagreement over the measles vaccine strains family ties

2:26:17 In a column for Politico magazine, former Congressman Joseph Kennedy II, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and her daughter Maeve Kennedy McCain criticize RFK Jr.'s longtime anti-vaxxer efforts. They write he has helped spread dangerous... Not anti-vaxxer! Did you hear that? That report is confusing. It's actually neurolinguistic programming. Let's hear it again. ...criticize RFK Jr.'s longtime anti-vaxxer efforts He's going around saying that, in other words he is pro-vaccine to an extreme because he is anti-vaxxer? No no I think you're hearing it wrong. In a column for Politico magazine former congressman Joseph Kennedy II Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and her daughter Maeve Kennedy McCain criticize RFK Jr.'s long time anti-vaxxer efforts It's his family who are criticizing him not him the families criticizing him of being an anti-vaxxer You with me

2:27:17 Yeah, but doesn't they're criticizing him for being an anti-vaxxer? Yeah. Okay what are they saying wrong or the way it's the way it comes out is that criticizing him for okay never mind I just a confusing way of producing this clip by I'm backing away from the mic and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and her daughter Maeve Kennedy McCain criticize RFK juniors longtime anti-vaxxer effort They write he has helped spread dangerous misinformation over social media and is complicit in sowing distrust of the science behind vaccines. Here is RFK Jr. In Texas just last week on the measles.

2:28:05 We love Bobby, they write. Praising his efforts to protect the environment but they say on vaccines he is wrong and his opposition is having heartbreaking consequences They point to their family's long history of promoting immunization campaigns President John F. Kennedy personally endorsing the polio vaccine in 1961. With this miraculous drug, I hope that everyone takes advantage of it. The public health works of their father and grandfather as Attorney General and Senator Ted Kennedy

2:28:40 Bobby is an outlier in the Kennedy family. They write tonight Robert F. Kennedy jr Says I don't think we should be forcing pharmaceutical products on unwilling American citizens without understanding the downside risks Risks the CDC and other medical organizations say are well understood and do not outweigh the benefits of vaccination My advice it voids small aircrafts hot tubs, canoeing in any kind of water near Washington DC. They're out to get him! His own family now is out to get him so this... I don't know. I don't know either. It does sound like he's out there out to get them

2:29:33 Vaccinations. Vaccinated. The link to autism, to be vaccinated! Vaccinations are highly effective. If you have to get sick, sure can't beat the measles. I wanted to mention something from the OTG department... Well before you go there, I do have a drug-related clip that i think is going to be absolutely profound. Oh yeah? There's a new drug? No, but this is I think is gonna be extremely profound if they It's just going to be profound. And it's drug ads, they've changed the policy about how to allow them this is very interesting TV ads for prescription drugs will have to start showing list prices of the medications The US Department Health and Human Services announced the rule today it affects drugs that cost more than $35 dollars for a month supply Yeah we knew this was coming How do you think that'll change anything?

2:30:30 Well, when they start promoting some of these drugs that are so expensive. I mean even though you only co-pay maybe 10 bucks on these pills if the list price is like a thousand dollars you have to hopefully The public will start to realize that this is a scam Because you pay, yeah you only pay 10 bucks because you got insurance and the other guys who can't don't have insurance they find some way around the price too. But when you're paying your ten bucks and the insurance company's paying a thousand bucks And you wonder why your premium is $5,000 in a quarter? This is the reason!

2:31:08 And I think part of the stipulation is they can't just be in a little disclaimer, in the small type. It has to be a certain size, it has to be in a certain part of this group. This is part of Trump's get-the-prices-down thing which he's talking about again and we'll see Well, there's other ways of getting the price down like letting the American public order from Canada which was a law that we tried to pass and people such as Cory Booker pushed against it. Oh really? Oh yeah, Cory Booker is one big... He's in the pocket of the drug companies that's why he's making no inroads on The Contenders list. Really? Do they donate to his campaign? Is that do we have that information? That would work yeah

2:31:50 Yeah, just a little OTG thing that I caught. You know besides the fact that Uber is now working with law enforcement anywhere they're happy to open up their logs so if you're accused of anything Uber will give them all your information where you were but this was someone who was trying to send me an email one of our producers and he uses Yahoo mail Depending on what he was sending, as far as I understand regardless of who we were sending it to He would receive an error message in his Yahoo mail that says for sending from Yahoo Mail Error 554 Message Not Allowed and they have a web page which explains what this yahoo error is And this is quite interesting

2:32:41 You will receive an SMTP. That's simple mail transfer protocol that's the internet email protocol you'll receive an SMTP error or failed delivery message that includes 554 message not allowed when the content of a message, you're trying to send violates Yahoo! Mail policies content that violates policies includes objectionable links Malicious attachments or bad header information. Well forget the malicious attachments and bad header information objectionable not dangerous malware no Objectionable links, and then it says review the Yahoo objectionable as in objectionable but not illegal correct Objectionable so that could be end this person who emails me of course emails me

2:33:34 You know, often with what someone could deem objectionable content. You know like anti-vaxxer stuff or moon landing Or I don't know just stuff but Yahoo is now actively scanning the outgoing email for objectionable links and perhaps other content issues and will not send your email. I mean does this give anybody a clue of where it's all really headed because you should understand There was this cool device. What's that called the ledge the edge the box? What was it now some home server thing that looks like someone finally got it right I'll find the information for the next show, but you should really consider Not using Yahoo or gmail Or even outlook for that matter outlook calm get squirrel mail people well anything with dad

2:34:37 I just thought that was pretty amazing. So not anything but that meaning Yahoo! Squirrel Mail is great Yes, that's what i'm saying it's great yes now um... I have two clips left okay? Just updates world updates we can start with the illegal surveillance clip from Democracy Now Yeah, we can do that one. In news from Washington tension continues to escalate between congressional Democrats and the Trump administration. The House Judiciary Committee is preparing to vote today on whether to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for failing to provide lawmakers with an unredacted copy of the Mueller report. The Justice Department's now advising Trump to invoke executive privilege over the entire unredacted report and underlying evidence

2:35:22 In related news, the White House has directed former counsel Don McGahn not to comply with a congressional subpoena to hand over documents— What does this have gotten do with illegal surveillance? I don't know. It's your clip! Well, skip it. Let's go to the current Iranian-Iranian situation. Ah yes I have something for that as well. Current Iranian situation also democracy now this time? Yeah Iran has announced it'll stop complying with parts of the landmark 2015 nuclear deal and resume high level enrichment of uranium in 60 days If other signatories of the deal do not take action to shield Iran's oil and banking sectors from U.S. sanctions, this comes a year after President Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal. In a speech earlier today, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Iran wants to stay in the nuclear deal but that it is rolling back its commitments due to Washington's actions

2:36:16 In the short term, Rouhani said Iran would stop exporting excess uranium and heavy water from its nuclear program. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the JCPOA is here and it remains in place. But today we have shown the flip side of the JCPOA coin. This is the same nuclear deal that states if other parties are failing to meet their obligations then we can also reduce our obligations on the deal. Today we are announcing a reduction of our obligations under the deal. We're not leaving the nuclear deal." Russia responded by blaming the United States for provoking Iran into rolling back the terms of the nuclear deal. The Iranian-American author Trita Parsi said, quote, Trump has initiated a chain reaction that will make America and the world less safe." Hmmmm I got a clip to compliment that from Bloomberg

2:37:10 This is Admiral James Stravitas. He's the guy that I think at one point was being vetted for a possible Hillary VP nomination back in the day, and he gives us little detail on exactly what this strike force is and he would know since he's an admiral. Admiral Stavitas let us talk sea power this morning translate for our listeners what it means when the media says that Abraham Lincoln deploys from Naval Station Norfolk. What actually happens when something that big deploys?

2:37:48 So these are aircraft carriers, about 100,000 tons Tom. Crew is about 5,000. They're surrounded by about 10 additional ships with another 5000 sailors so figure kind of 8 to 10 ships as well as ten thousand sailors 70 combat aircraft hundreds of tomahawk missiles that entire consortium if you will it's called a carrier strike group group. That is what has deployed, and it's headed toward the Arabian Gulf." They're headed there in all of us of a certain vintage including you Admiral remember the certitude of big fleets not in World War II but if we just go to Argentina and the Falkland Islands there are threats out there what are the threats to the Abraham Lincoln or is this a junket to show the flag?

2:38:40 This is a real threat to the strike group as we look at Iranian capability in the Arabian Gulf where they're headed. What the Iranians can do is launch cruise missiles from their shore, they can send jet aircraft, they could use diesel submarines to attack it... They have any number of ways they could attack this strike group so tensions are rising and we oughta be quite concerned about that About it. Yeah, I don't know if we should be that concerned. I don't know what I don't know We should either I like the way he specifically said instead of saying submarines yet diesel-powered He said diesel part is some some commentary

2:39:20 I wonder. Yeah, that's an interesting point you know Sir Rod, Atomic Rod might be able to tell us why that was a specific...I guess they don't have nuclear subs? The implication is they don't have nuclear subs yeah but what's the point of pointing this out well why Well to point out that there are also horrible climate change polluters polluting the seas with their damn diesel they're like the Volkswagen the seas It's perfect for a false flag though. We love having Having blow up near predicted a false like upcoming false flight for the last month or two on this show yes, and the reason why major Major false leg yes because Pompeo

2:40:11 spoke behind closed doors in Dallas to a number of prominent Iranians, Persians living in America and he said we're not gonna go after him no no no we're not doing anything. We're hanging back we're good we're not gonna do anything Not us! We're not going attack them nope nope nope so you position something out there and it's a perfect setup for something to happen Disgusting He is bolting again. He is bolting Pompeo And Trump is asleep at the wheel when it comes to this Maybe he thinks it's great. I don't know maybe he's all in on this. I thought we were gonna do no wars bring on Tulsi gabber That was the promise yeah, that was a promise wasn't it well promise unkempt unkempt kept

2:40:59 Alright, I don't have any more clips. I think i'm done we could do anything else we need to talk about? I've got the green new deal. I mean I can have a clip of Doug Collins bitching and moaning in Nadler's Nah no I am so sick and tired of that shit now In fact we should just make a rule 15 minutes of the show should be dedicated to this sideshow bullshit These these bullshit, it's just horrible. It keeps the news business going and I think people are disinterested. I'm not interested anymore I'm still interested in send someone to jail amusing All right. Well, I'm glad you do well then I Do do you said one question? Do you think that AOC really doesn't know what a garbage disposal is

2:41:41 I get the sense that that was a hoax or put on, or there's something fishy about that clip about AOC and her garbage disposal. Now, now uh... garbage disposals have been banned where she has lived for all of her life so that she may not have operated one That's possible! It wouldn't surprise me it's like remember the president George HW Bush was like Stunned when he went to a grocery store and saw a scan, you know laser. Wow you can check out like that? That's crazy Yeah, he was so he was like naive about stuff. I mean people don't know certain things I still remember my favorite clip from 60 minutes when one of the famous tennis stars of the era Was trying to act like she knew her way around a kitchen and and then grabbed a can opener for some dumb reason And then threw it down Chris Everett She said and she's grabbed a can in the can opener just oh

2:42:41 And she throws the can opener down all in a fluster and says, I don't know how to operate something like this. I know that, I think you tweeted that garbage disposals have been banned in Berkeley for a long time. Yes they have Why are garbage disposals banned? What's the problem? Well apparently grinding up stuff that goes into the sewage treatment plant sometimes hurts the process of sewage treatment and it also encourages bad habits when we should be making compost piles of our garbage in the backyard and letting the flies get in there and stink up the place

2:43:17 huge piles of maggots crawling everywhere. I don't know, I think it's dumb to me i've had garbage disposals all my life. I love garbage disposals! And what do you definitely not put down your garbage disposal? Well, I have a bone crusher. I have a garbage disposal that's quite good at it. You don't have... you've got a medieval torture device? I have a garbage disposer that kicks butt and so there is pretty much anything will go in it but you want to avoid You want to avoid, you know metal. Well the troll room is... Although this funny thing when you put it when metal goes in there and it's grinding around there It usually gets thrown out of the garbage disposal. Spews back out. So he... Slice into the kitchen Here's our troll room don't put children down there Don't put people, grease, gold fingers money Silverware oh the bone crusher yes And where is Mimi? The final question yeah

2:44:15 She's down with the baby as a matter of fact right downstairs.

I'm John C Dvorak We return on Sunday right here on NO AGENDA until then as always adios mofos and such so Once there was this guy who had almost two years to make a big report And when it finally came out, it said There was no Russian collusion

2:46:13 The report was quite expensive, costing over 25 million so far. Mueller arrived at the FBI just seven days before 9-11 President Obama asked him to stay for two more years it required an act of Congress And once there was this girl who Couldn't go more than a minute without saying Russia or Putin And when this report came out She had another major meltdown It's really no big thing, she always just does that

2:47:05 Russia, Russia, Russia Putin. Russia's Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia Russian, Russian, Russian, Russian Russia, Russia Moscow, Moscow! Russia! Putin, Putin, Putin, Putin, Putin Russia, Russian, Russian, Russia The Soviet Empire the second of the 20th century's great evils We just began a conversation about children in the United States of America That's true Children living in poverty do not have an easy go of that. And often the child is abused, not only mentally and emotionally but even physically. The societal expectation is that we are to look the other way. This is a horrific experience that little boy's happening. When our culture begins to actually stand up for children

2:47:55 That would be the time to begin a debate on abortion. And after awhile they become unmanageable and everybody's afraid of them, and they back off...and now the child lands into foster care because the unwanted baby leads directly to a child in foster care. 80% of children sold into sex labor come out of the foster care system! Let's actually start to examine intentions until we're caring for the children properly. Once the children are being cared for properly, then... We can talk about whether or not there's moral high ground in abortion today.
