It's like i'm getting all the way up to... You don't send me a cheat sheet! Monday, We arrived Monday from uh from where were we You're in Ireland. Yes, Northern Ireland that's right Northern Ireland and we flew down here with the easy jets which was interesting because it was already filled with the rowdy Brits Was there a soccer game going on? No man it's just you know how the Brits they like to go to other places outside of their own country and get really drunk and obnoxious

02:22 Well, they do that in their own country too from my experience. Yeah, they're a little extra bad when they come to the mainland. In fact... It's like your theory on podcasts? What's that? What's my theory? People go onto a podcast and think I can say anything I want! Exactly! That's exactly what's happening Yeah, so we grabbed a cab to the place we're staying and first of all it was great. This guy was 47 years old So I could try out my little trivia question on him And said hey were you around in the 80's? yeah I was about 13 Do you remember Countdown and he does double take oh my god that's you

03:06 So they do still remember if they're old enough. What did you just say, do you know who I am? No the phrase is surely you know who I am but he said hey when you guys go back make sure that you have at least two hours be at the airport two hours ahead of time He says because uh when the Brits are going back They're drunk, they can't find their paperwork. Their passports...they forgot them! They hold up the line and he says it's a mess Another travel tip from your NOAA gender show That is actually a good tip The big problem though has been the 451s Explain Error 451 This is an actual web server error that was implemented

04:01 and it involves the general data protection rules.

05:03 In other words, I would say a good 15% of what i was trying to access is not legally accessible or for non-VPN users people who don't understand how you can circumvent it. It's just not available Did this just start? You must have had this We've had it before No we definitely had it before Who are bothering you now? You done three shows from overseas I did not have in the UK It was not in the UK. Oh really? And I didn't notice it, so this is the first one on the mainland and now i'm getting this non-stop! Well that's interesting... Yeah

05:48 And I would have noticed it. I would have made note of it and you know the way you complain that After 11 years, you know, I'd be complaining like a little bitch You should have been complaining about two shows and I'm just trying not to hear the ground loop Yeah So in and honestly I was thinking about setting up the VP. I could set up the VPN quite easily But man is already so I'm amazed that we're talking to each other without massive delay There's maybe a megabit and a half each way on the Wi-Fi connection here. Oh, and the dongle has full bars but only 3G I can't get a 4g signal so that's fine yeah hopefully you sound good hopefully be okay I'm sure when I come out when this show is finished I'll sign because I won't have any good quality going through to your side no no actually you sound pretty good

06:45 By the way, that's a timecode notation. Thank you So things I've learned while here what have you learned Adam? They have a new product here Which i think is outstanding in Portugal yes and it apparently was invented in portugal let me see if there's a uh There's a um Let me see if there's a name who well I did ask about it so I know it was invented here in Portugal wine in a tube So they have these tubes that are like a test tube, except it's the width of a bottleneck. So you know so that's about... That is a big tube! Yeah its a sizable tube and I'd say it is about let me see I'd say that's about five inches?

07:43 Wait, one two... no maybe about seven inches. Oh wait I should know it's about 10 inches and it's uh yeah the top is the whole it's the diameter of of a wine bottle so that the it has a twist off top and they say and they sell uh it's basically one hit it's like you pour it into your glass it's good for one glass! It's one glass? You can take- How much what does it what's the milliliters on that thing oh hold on a second I have I have the different right let me find out One one hundred got it from the you got it from the mini bar. Here we go 100 milliliter Okay, 100 mils make sense well this is I don't know these kinds of things have been around in the trade for some time as For tasting for wine tasters and professionals mm-hmm Oh really? Yeah, I thought it was for real alcoholics because he just popped this in your in your

08:48 In your jacket, in your purse. Bam! You got a cocktail wherever you need it. I think the little metal flask is still best for this. Here it is here it is Genuine Wit Bottle W-I-T that's their registered trademark Flacon Wit So those are the guys that uh... Uh... I guess trademarked it, registered trademark But they're putting everything in all kinds of wine I just thought it was a genius idea. Wine tastings would be perfect with these things Yeah, and it's just handy to take along you know when you're at school Bam! You drinking It's fantastic So yeah not much to report but the television coverage here has been Fantastic as in they got all the channels you'd want

09:42 Sky News, CNN International CNBC BBC multiple BBC's which is perfect because we have two major things going on here one would be the choosing of the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdoms of Gitmo nation east yeah and Well, I will remind you that I said it would be Boris and you were like no. No it's gonna be Gove It's gonna be that guy he's gonna be a you were wrong No, you said no lie, I never said no to Boris oh Okay, all right. I shall get the car get a clip for next show I want to hear this clip know I'll get a clip where you where you said? No, it's not going to be him okay That's what I want here What was interesting is

10:33 is that all of a sudden, as you kind of saw the flow and now the way they do this is very interesting. They have three I think three rounds of secret ballots amongst the party and each time you see Boris Johnson is winning he's winning he's winning they have to whittle that down to two uh that's after I think three rounds then they send the final two the number one and the closest after in this case Bojo to a mail-in vote of the Conservative Party across the country. I mean, this is so just begging to be a reality show that...I don't understand! They should have these guys doing tasks like eating shitty live bugs and you know have to rappel over some angry white water or something. I'd like to see that with Boris. Well Boris would be fantastic

11:27 And so as you see the flow of this, they kept trying to push the Rory guy. The dweeb? I guess no good But it was like oh Rory Oh and i think It was just like anybun but Boris please someone just bring a roar and now he got kicked out So He's out...so i think it'll be Boris Johnson and Was it Hunt No Who? No Jeremy Hunt Jeremy Hunt yeah Jeremy hunt Isn't he then I think he'll be number two. I don't know yeah, I think that's what's going on but Number two and Theresa May was was I don't remember But well it's again it's fun to watch and The cycle is so similar to the hatred for Trump

12:19 It's the same thing. He's racist, he's a bigot... well you know part of that is obviously there are some similarities. He's a nut job! He's a loose cannon! My favorite of course is Hitler. He's literally Hitler and there was this fantastic Prime Minister question time the other day where You have the guy from the Scottish National Party. Ian, is it Blackwell I think his name is? Let me see what is his name... Ian Blackford. Unfortunately the guy that used to represent them was this Angus character and he was probably the best of the group. Well Ian is doing pretty good because- and this is a full two minute clip because it has to go back and forth with

13:06 with the Speaker intervening because, I mean you can't just be calling a Member of Parliament a racist in the UK. You can do it in America but not in the UK! You can't just be doing that! Does the Prime Minister agree with the frontrunner set to succeed her that the Scottish people are a verminous race that should be placed in ghettos and exterminated. Of course, words matter and actions matter. The man who published those words in his magazine the Prime Minister thought was fit for the office of our top diplomat—and he has not stopped there! He said that Scots should be banned from being prime minister. Banned from being prime minister, Mr Speaker? This is a

13:47 who is not fit for office. And so I ask, does the Prime Minister realise that not only is the Member racist he's stoking division in communities and has a record of dishonesty? Does the Prime Minister honestly believe Order! If the right honourable gentleman is referring to a current member of this house, I don't know whether he is. But if he is... He's like, I don't know who he's talking about? Be extremely careful in the language you use as you should have notified the member

14:25 in advance, but I would urge him... Oh! I like this. You can call someone racist as long as you notify them in advance. That's perfect. ...I would urge him to weigh his words. Mr Ian Blackford? And indeed, and I think it would be much better if for now he would withdraw any allegation of racism or death against any particular member. I don't think that this is the forum and i don't think its the right way to behave Mr Ian Blackford? Mr Speaker I have informed the Member but the Member has called Muslim women letterboxes described African people as having watermelon smiles and another disgusting... Wait a minute!

15:06 He can't be using our racist memes. That's America's racist meme, the watermelon smiley. You can't be stealing that! I would never dignify by repeating if that is not racist Mr Speaker, I don't know what is Does the Prime Minister honestly believe this man is fit for the office of Prime Minister? Yeah yeah yeah Prime Minister Can I just say to the right hon. Gentleman that he has now been leader of the SNP in this chamber for some time, and he might actually understand the purpose of Prime Minister's questions—which is to ask the Prime Minister about the actions of the Government? That is what he should be asking us about

15:50 I can say to the right honourable gentleman, that i believe any conservative prime minister in the future will be better for Scotland than the Scottish National Party. Buttslam! So it's been fabulous to watch Yeah It has been great You get those moments and its very entertaining I like it. I'd really do. The Scottish National Party's the worst! They're so sophisticated though, there in Parliament. I just like how they go about their business. Oh yes... You can call him racist if you let him know ahead of time Thank you. So beautiful Then we have the race for the President of the EU Commission This is Juncker's job Junker the drunkard

16:43 And they're having a hard time figuring out how to come to some consensus on who this should be. I'm hoping for the show's sake that it's Frans Timmermans, the Dutch guy who is... we might be able to get him to talk to us one day. Never know but now The former anti-competition minister, Margarete Frastrata? She's in the running? She has put herself in the running, yes. Oh that's interesting Yes let me see I have two quickie clips from her and she is playing the gender card of course Oops here we go start with this one There has never yet been a female president of this institution Do you think your going to be first Well that I don't know but it find its long overdue That you have a woman on this post as well

17:43 because women are not a minority. We are half the European population, half the world's population so I think it is about time that also the Commission reflects on that fact because it is important you have more diverse forests to exercise power. The European Commission Vice President Gunther Oettinger one of your current colleagues from the biggest group the EPP he said its out of question to give you the job as president what's your reaction to that? Well, that's obviously his opinion. The European elections were outstanding because so many Europeans they took the decision I want to be part of our democracy more than 50% voted and that is a first

18:25 And second, they didn't vote as they usually voted. The EPP were losing I think around 40 seats, the SND were losing seats as well My social liberal family gained seats so did the Greens So there's a new dynamic in the European Parliament and it is very important to hear that call for change Oh yes, a call for change. There's 28 members of course one for each country and she wants that to be what is the term gender balanced which means she wants a quota or does or does she want a quota? When you're in a diverse group when you sort of break uniformity in how we look very often you also break uniformity and how you think

19:13 You get better discussions, you get better decisions. You see that very much in business and you also see that in political decision-making in my experience So if you became Commission President would you have 14 women commissioners? 14 male commissioner's Well, you know it may be 14 women and 13 men since we may lose the UK. But I think this is one of the areas where we can show Europeans that we change because a lot of the changes that we're dealing with they are slow and it takes time to realise things are changing. Do you believe in quitters?

19:50 Well, call it a quota. I don't think 50-50 is a quota and anyway we have accepted sort of informal male quotas of 80 90 percent for not even decades but for centuries where women have not had the same access to exercising power i think it is about time that we get gender balance commission Gender Balance there it is! And I can tell her its not going happen Because Europe is an old man's club. They're not gonna let any women come in run the show uh-uh can happen no No, it did not not in house way too early Europe is still Way behind us the US on all this stuff We have rammed at heart so fast and hard through everything there when still if their heads are still spinning okay? Hmm now I think it's just gonna be dudes you watch well if she gets in

20:50 She's gonna shake things up. Yeah, because there is a lot of power there. A lot of power I think that is the most powerful spot And I don't have a clip but I'm sure you saw Angela Merkel man she was with Macron? No no she was with Ukrainian president The new Ukrainian president in Berlin Yeah, she swooned. There you go! That... I mean, I think that could have come from dehydration but it was not a good look That it was like she had an attack of some sort. This reminds me of, insofar as not a good look is concerned when George HW Bush puked all over the Prime Minister of Japan. Prime minister and then passed out. That was not a good luck either I agree

21:44 And it was interesting that the Ukrainian president, maybe he was really engrossed by whatever was going on. He didn't see that? Didn't see it out of his peripheral vision? She's like... I mean shaking like a leaf! It was very odd. That was sad to watch really. Low blood sugar or something. Yeah, I don't know Maybe she was just trying not morph back into a reptile and you know, she was trying to stop fighting the transformation Also, the outer skin can be constricting her because it may have been needed to. Oh yes she needs some time to shed and get a new one? Yes shed time. Hey everybody if you've never heard this show... You're hearing it now! You know what we're all about! Lizard people yeah

22:31 And that's kind of what I have. Take it seriously, that's kind of what i have directly from uh wait did you have one more thing? Well did you get any MH17 stuff yes I did! What do you got? I have one final the clip from PBS that kinda wraps it I think international prosecutors charged four men with murder today for blasting a Malaysian Airlines plane out of the sky over Ukraine in 2014 It happened in a region controlled by Ukrainian rebels who were backed by Russia. The attack killed all 298 people on the flight from Amsterdam Dutch officials say the suspects probably thought it was a Ukrainian military plane and they used a Russian missile to destroy it

23:15 They saw to it that it was brought in the area where they were in charge, and it was brought to the launch site. And from this launch site, the MH17 was shot down and they were responsible for this whole operation Russia and Ukraine forbid extradition of their citizens but prosecutors say the suspects will be tried in absentia next March Now there's a lot weird stuff. First of all, this appears to be once again a Bellingcat analysis it hasn't changed much and they're taking credit for it and I then there on the team the JIT the Joint Investigation Team what what I keep hearing is international court and international lawyers but I don't think this is not IPCC or no not the you know the ICC at the International Criminal Court This is a court in The Netherlands

24:10 that is conducting this. As far as I can tell, maybe it's a division of but actually it's the same guys or the same judge who prosecuted Geert Wilders for racism for public racism if you remember that Oh yeah. So it's the same guy who is the same judge who will be... Again, this is just an indictment This is not proof of anything It's an official indictment and in March they're going to bring it before trial which okay we'll see And I was able to get at least one Dutch guy To make fun of as he was talking about how clear it is that this has got to be the Russians men Prosecutors say they were commanding separatists in eastern Ukraine in 2014

24:56 Losing on the battlefield, they phoned senior military and government officials in Russia desperate for weapons and support. The calls intercepted by Ukrainian intelligence are part of the evidence unveiled today along with footage found on the internet of a missile launcher dispatched from Russia and more. It is forensic, that is witnesses, it's wiretap, that is data analysis and when you go through all those layers then at the end you can say one and one and one is five. There there you go! That's how we do in Europe everybody. One and one and one is five. And one and one and one is five. That's how we convict people. Actually three... That's how we convict people here

25:40 Which I am submitting for the end of show ISO. Well, I only have one in play my end is to show ISO which I pulled from Trump's hour 19 minute speech Okay, Orlando where he announced that? He's running for president Winning winning I don't know. I think no one and one and one is five funny or I think I kind of got you on that one We did have breaking news just before the show started. to the Iranian shoot-down. The president's tweet, Iran made a very big mistake of course begging the question of what the White House and what the administration is prepared to do about it if anything any kind of response at all I spoke to Sarah Huckabee Sanders the White House press secretary just a few minutes ago she said the president was briefed last night and has been briefed again this morning on what the US military knows about that shoot down so no indication at this point of what any potential us response would be

26:56 But the president, I don't think you can call this saber rattling. Maybe just a Twitter rattle but issuing a one-sentence statement on Twitter here in reaction to that shoot down guys And there's a reaction in the market crude oil is jumping on this news WTI now up 5% There we go and that makes somebody happy yeah, it's this a day of your Twitter rattling Yes This is a deja vu term or do or a moment for you as well this they shot down a drone didn't We just go through this a while ago They shot down a drone and then it was like, oh. And didn't they grab the drone? Well this was some years ago they grabbed the drone and landed it somewhere in Iran if you remember they were parading it around nobody said much about it then

27:41 on shooting down the drones cost money. On Tuesday... And there's also the debate whether it was over Iranian territory or not, some people say. Well if you look at this- If it wasn't over the territory what territory would it be over? I dispute this international water bull crap because the Strait of Hormuz is like either UAE or Iran You gotta to right in some very small piece What are we doing there flying our drones? Come on. Well, we got a drone base right there off of the... No, Djibouti is on the other side. It's on the other side. Djibouti is... Yeah it's on the other side. That's where we're flying from but still like come on I did get this email on Tuesday which is anonymous. I was staying at a hotel in Cambridge UK on Thursday night last week there were several pilots and co-pilots of F15 staying

28:36 They'd just flown over to the UK on their way to Iran refueling in midair four times on the way over. The planes were being fitted out and checked before flying on so something is probably likely to occur there in the next few days, now I don't know if that's related to the drone but I didn't know that they were F-15s flying around and why did we not just use whatever we have in our fleet? Don't we have a whole fleet that we sent over there with an aircraft carrier? We have a whole carrier sitting there. So why are we sneaking in F-15s through the back door? Well, maybe it's because it would be obvious when we took off from a carrier and the carrier is just a decoy. So we shot down our own drone maybe? I'm just asking. That's interesting idea that one of the F-15s took their drone out. That was the first thing I thought about! It's possible you can't trust anything going on during this little moment. No

29:30 This is the classic false flag moment. We're just waiting for something to happen and so something that happened a month ago has now become the big news about Iran, they're 10 days away from enriching uranium weapons grade which is bullcrap! Go back to the 90s and hear the same thing. This is such bull crap I mean there are 3.6% but to be weapons-grade you gotta be like 70 80 percent it's it takes a little bit longer but it's always 10 days. Well then again you have to design the bomb they haven't designed a bomb that we know of. Yes exactly you gotta put that thing on a rocket. Supposedly they're using a Pakistani

30:10 North Korea design. I have a clip, because the North Korean bombs by the way are very small this is from channel 4 in the UK it is a crisis which arguably began in Washington when President Trump labeled these Iranian Revolutionary Guards as terrorists back in April and tightened sanctions on their country then the Americans sent an aircraft carrier group and B-52 bombers to the Gulf, they said in response to an unspecified Iranian threat. Last month President Rouhani announced that Iran was ramping up its nuclear fuel production reducing its compliance with the deal that President Trump walked away from a year ago

30:54 And today the Iranians chose one of their nuclear plants as the venue to announce that their supply of uranium will breach the deal's limit in 10 days' time, in what is a desperate bid to be allowed to sell oil. So desperate that a spokesman even delivered it in English. There will be another set of actions if after 60 days they will not implement their commitments. We are suspending, we are not revoking the commitments, we're not removing the commitments." Iran's economy is being crippled by US sanctions as the Americans are threatening any company anywhere which trades with Iran The Chinese say they will defy Washington and carry on buying oil but the Europeans have tried and so far failed to bypassed the Americans

31:46 Today, they said they would keep trying amid fears the nuclear deal will collapse. So our focus is not to enter into a blame game or giving responsibility for a collapse of a deal that might come Our focus is to keep the agreement in place and keep the implementation of it Now what I hear them saying is hey Europe and Russia can you help us out? I don't hear any strong Iran going, we don't care. We're gonna build bombs! They're like, help us out? There's also the element that is not explored much in these stories which is how much oil is China buying and how are they getting it there? And how are they paying for it? Well, the other thing is I have to assume...and I don't want to sound like a...I don't know what to call myself A podcaster

32:40 I'm going to act like a podcaster here and mention that the Chinese probably aren't paying top dollar for their oil. Best price? Always looking for best price, which is probably galling to the Iranians but the Chinese market would suck up all of Iranian oil if it could And that's part of what Iran was asking for is to circumvent this financial block, which I don't like. I really despise the cutting people off... Weaponizing Swift! Yeah thank you. Cutting people off from the payment system it's so mean

33:21 That's war actions in my book. Yeah, that's what happened to Alex Jones! Wait a minute... What do you mean? Well they cut him off from all the outlets and PayPal won't pick him up I think. Okay yeah. And uh... Alex Jones Iran- Actually no, I think PayPal still picks them up it was Wikipedia who everybody dropped from payments remember? Was it...? No... It was Wikileaks! Yes, WikiLeaks. I meant WikiLeaks. But i'm pretty sure InfoWars got deplatformed from payment systems too. I'm pretty sure it could be and then the latest of course is MailChimp Oh yes! We can't have anything about no anti-vaxxer stuff. Gatekeepers of society? When did this happen? Well...yes this is exactly what they are gatekeepers of society This is more of our

34:21 of how we have been looking at this deplatforming, the big purge. Yeah! MailChimp... do they not have a... Well first of all I'm sure they're used by tons of brands and commercial companies who use them to communicate with their customers and they just don't want, you know any controversy connected to their name. That's what it's about we don't want any stories about our service... But how is it connected to their name? MailChimp is not unless you put the logo at the bottom which you have to opt in for Okay okay here we go

34:58 Ladies and gentlemen, we've got a headline here. It seems that anti-vaxxers are using email systems like MailChimp to spread their message of disinformation! New film at 11! That would be exactly why they would want to take anybody who's doing that off I don't find that very controversial Makes sense? Makes sense to you Yes it is quite interesting how many people Are mad at me for even suggesting that that this is not Silicon Valley actively trying to shut up people and censor conservative viewpoints No, I'm agree with you. I don't think it's as bad as much as it is the brand the brand safe brand safe message in fact we have Well there's a lot going on We have no one to be associated with that

35:55 Well, let me... here's a little background. You're not direct... It seems to me if you're a service company... Yeah You're a service company. Does that mean the guys who make tin cans, you know they have to be this way too? I mean they make tin can manufacturing products at FMC Food Machinery Corporation They're making a big line of candy bar makers is gonna put the total thing engineer candy bar system and a candy bar factory But the candy bars are gonna be you know something that's you know hate Obama Bar well You can't know we're not selling the our equipment. Well luckily not far from here We have the con Lions Festival, which I think is just Chloe Oh, they'll be big parties are tomorrow night and this is the big advertising festival it's always on the heels of the

36:44 the Cannes Film Festival and all the advertisers go there. And they all hang out and drink with potential advert... well it's really the agencies, they take the brand and the media buyers out and fly them around in helicopters get him laid on stinky whores It's a fantastic I've been there it's a fantastic event And well here's just how to get you into the vibe of how the industry thinks. Here is an interview, of course we had CNBC or no it was now Fox Business News Money Honey Maria Bartiromo on the scene she loves to hang out there in Cannes

37:25 And she's talking to, I think one of the big ad buyer guys at Ogilvy. Huge advertising company just a little bit about the industry, little backgrounder. Joining me right now is Ogilvy worldwide chief executive John Seifert. John great to see you thanks so much for joining us today with you are also the president for the creative effectiveness Lions tell us more about that It's one of the toughest lions to win because you can't just be creative in your work. You have to show that the creativity actually makes a difference in the marketplace, so did you grow the clients business? Did you improve the health of the brand? So the standard of market outcomes is much higher when you look at the grouping of ads that we see over the... Are you ill?!

38:06 Yeah, and boy is she giddy. But I want everyone to listen to this because you understand how these people...and i've been a part of this industry...how they are completely just into the brand and it's the brand and the brand lives in the brand speaks and the brand listens and people connect with brand. This is why things have to be brand safe! The submissions I've seen so far in the jury is the impact it created through cultural conversation. Did we get attention? Did people want to talk about us, did they want to share what they learned from that brand with friends and family and did it sort of strike a chord more broadly in culture? Those are those are the ones that are really getting the most attention. So and those really resonate because it's about issues

39:02 we're all talking about. Exactly, it's all part of the mashup of kind of everyday life from what I consume to what my politics are how i feel about the world in general is all coming together you know increasingly as I'm speaking to chief marketing officers this week and finding that doesn't matter if your most successful brand or an emerging brand everybody dealing with the same issues and one of those issues Attracting young people, attracting women. How do you do it? Well every brand today is trying to be relevant and authentic to who they are so having a strong point of view because it's not just about selling something that's a better product A lot of these audiences want to know what you think, what you care about

39:40 product. Viewers don't, you know they don't necessarily react to logos but they react to people. Well the one thing we've said over and over is that you can't fake it anymore if it's not true on the inside no one's going to believe its true on the outside so getting back to your product in the NFL case that would be the people playing the game It's authenticity I know it was painful to listen too This is the biggest load of crap probably one of the greatest clips you've ever played You should put that aside

40:27 I'd give you a clip of the day but it makes me so sick, i'm not giving it to you. This shows you how insane people are about the brand and why they don't want even male chimp is a brand yeah there's a stupid chimp with an envelope in a little mailman hat yeah people don't want their brand associated with anything inauthentic that's not exactly what authenticity is all about And so that's why here at the Con Leon Lion Festival, the big advertisers and social media have formed the alliance they wanted to fight unsafe content online. Yes Procter & Gamble Facebook are now addressing hate speech and other problems together! Let me see it's... The name of this thing is... I don't want to have the actual name of this what is this thing called? This Alliance

41:22 The Global Alliance for Responsible Media and in this participating Procter & Gamble, General Mills, Diageo Mastercard Facebook Twitter Alphabet Omnicom WPP you've got all the big ones there right there. You don't need anything else And what they want to do is they want to have all these rules and want everyone to understand what is necessary for advertising to take place on the Silicon Valley social companies, and on YouTube. Digital advertising will make up more than half of global ads sales for the first time this year according to latest forecast by Magna Global part of Interpublic

42:05 But social media platforms have been tarred by repeated revelations that they are hosting political disinformation and malicious content. In one of the most recent examples, AT&T, Clorox, Nestle, McDonald's and Fortnite publisher Epic Games paused or halted their YouTube advertising following reports viewers were making inappropriate comments on videos of young girls YouTube later suspended comments on most videos that feature minors, so they're fighting. So they are fighting and it is a full-on war between established companies, companies maybe even who are just trying to compete. For instance Vox Media which is arguably a mainstream company with their NBC investment of a quarter billion dollars. Yeah I'd say so. I'm not a big fan of Nilay Patel but I always thought he's kind of swarmy

43:07 He's the boss over at The Verge, editor-in-chief or something. Which is a Vox Media property I gotta give him big props for really taking it to Facebook and just spewing in their face... in their eyes With this recent revelation, they got three of the content moderators who work for Cognizant which is a company we've talked about many times. We've had many reports of people looking through what people are asking Google to do but also pure content moderation of uploads to YouTube and in this case to Facebook

43:47 And not only did they publish quite a great expose of what really goes on and there's always this, oh these poor people their mental health but screw that. This is a direct hit job on Facebook and I pulled the couple of quotes from YouTube funny enough a YouTube interview that has been published which I actually Was hard to find again this morning when I was trying to pull the clip from it and you'll understand taking the authenticity You'll understand why there's a problem when this is out there and this is what you're dealing with Content moderation is a really difficult job. You have to take Facebook policies which can change every day and then apply them to decide what stays up on Facebook and Instagram And what comes down?

44:39 A couple of months ago, I was contacted by some moderators who worked for Facebook in Tampa Florida through a company called Cognizant. And they told me that they wanted to go on the record so they told you we're gonna put you in a queue of content that is dedicated to graphic violence and hate speech? Yes! You would get the occasional random thing But for the most part it was always graphic violence and hate speech because that's all that was coming in for us. What were some of the kinds of things you would see, that would be really hard for you? Where do I start... Animals! Mostly animals. Abusive animals. I've seen them had a puppy with a rope hanging in it And I've seen a pit of pigs and they threw fire and you can hear the pig screaming. I don't want to get emotional talking about the animals There was one where there was a baby

45:29 There were twin babies from like Saudi Arabia and the mother was dropping the baby on the ground. This is when we saw over and over again, and then choked the baby And you hear the baby gurgling and trying to breathe...and for days it infected my mind I had to know what happened to this baby because i'd seen it over and over and over again Luckily the baby was okay! I just think about all the animals all the time and that's what i'm still thinking about even though I left Do you remember the first video that you saw? It was a video in a different language and it was these two teenagers, and they came across an iguana on the street. And one of the kids grabbed the iguana by the tail and they started to smash the iguana onto the ground...and You could just hear the iguana screaming.

46:21 And that was one of the first videos I saw on that queue. Yeah, and they just yeah They kept slamming the iguana onto the ground and the iguana just kept screaming and screaming and then Screaming stopped it was just a And the kids were just laughing at the iguana. Were you able to remove that video from Facebook? No, since that video had no title and no caption we were supposed to send it to a different queue for Spanish speaking but I don't think there really was a Spanish-speaking queue that was taking care of that

47:00 So this whole piece in the video which is 15 minutes long, is reiterating that Facebook has... you keep it here. It came back and there was again and was re-uploaded we couldn't delete it we didn't know how to leave the rules say don't delete it! And if you want to get any group of people riled up against a company make sure its cruelty to animals People give a shit! Ah choke the baby What? You killed an iguana?! People are gonna lose their crap over this. Well done! Well done, Vox Media! Very very good. No one will have to do anything you won't have to have all these rules in Congress which there's now legislation

47:44 You hear about the legislation they're proposing? Yeah, it's just a bunch of virtual signaling by the Democrats. They're pulling a lot of stunts at the moment. Reparations... We'll get to that in a second This is the Hawley Bill and... Where's Smoot? Who?! Never mind A few people out there will get that joke going So the Hawley bill essentially would have the government appoint people who determine what is and not, is and it's not allowed when it comes to moderation and or algorithms that might be performing editorial tasks.

48:31 And of course this will only apply to companies that have 30 million active users a month or at least 500 million in revenue every month. So it's really targeted at Silicon Valley. So we're safe? No, no way safe! Oh yeah totally... Well NOAgenda is so... This is the next thing I'll just touch on this briefly So I truly believe that we can just let it, you don't need to regulate. This is all going to take care of itself because advertisers the more these stories there are and there's plenty of incentive for mainstream in particular print and television and you know mainstream guys to keep pointing out how evil these companies are and how they can't handle AI they can't do it

49:21 That's finally starting, people are starting to figure that out. That artificial intelligence can't weed this stuff out and so it's they're going to keep shutting down all of their properties you know just like MailChimp take off anyone who might be talking about vaccines being unsafe get rid of everything until you basically have an AOL You're going to have an AOL situation with YouTube where people or even Twitter, Twitter may be a better example. Where you just in this box of safeness and people will keep telling you about hey there's this mastodon, there is this federation thing over here, you should check this out! Oh no I want to stay here it was just like America online

50:07 Everyone say can we get a browser to the internet? No, no. No you just use your keywords You can all the content you want here It's okay it's all safe And then they opened it up a little bit and gave you crappy ass browser and people like oh my god This is great this is scary This is all the cool stuff People gravitate towards that they're not gonna want to stay in these complete brand-safe environments its boring So with I'm just making a prediction Gab.com is on July 4th, they will become a part of the Federation and already we're seeing... I'm getting emails now Hey are you uh.. Are you moderating noagendasocial.com? Are you the moderator of this one? Yeah Well you need to block gab in advance man We can't have that on the... We can't have that in the Federation

51:00 It's the stupidest thing. So they left Twitter and Facebook because they felt it was no fun, and there were too many Nazis... I don't know what it was! And now they're going to their little safe spaces and blocking everything. You need controversy. This is what people don't get. What is it about just Twitter as an example? You need the controversy with, you need the drugs added in. The hits you know like if a dopamine hit like I got to like on my meet saying that someone's a shithead oh I got more followers because you know people listen to me because i talk smack about them and the drug element is what will keep people going but if you remove the controversy it's just not gonna be interesting so federate or die as my message

51:50 That's what it's gonna be. Here is Tim Cook doing the commencement speech at Stanford, virtue signaling meanwhile he has well he hasn't created but his company is in charge of one of the biggest components of evil that exists today among social networking From the first oscillator built into Hewlett Packard garage to the iPhones that I know you're holding your hands Social media, shareable videos, snaps and stories that connect half the people on earth. They all trace their roots to Stanford's backyard but lately it seems this industry is becoming better known for a less noble innovation the belief that you can claim credit without accepting responsibility

52:45 We see it every day now with every data breach, every privacy violation. Every blind eye turned to hate speech fake news poisoning our national conversation the false miracles in exchange for a single drop of your blood too many seem to think that good intentions excuse away harmful outcomes but whether you like it or not What you build and what you create define who you are. It feels a bit crazy that anyone should have to say this, but if you've built a chaos factory, you can't dodge responsibility for the chaos. Taking responsibility means having the courage to think things through. Yeah well big talk Tom Collins. Now what is it? When did he become a philosopher? Oh please that's all he does

53:52 It's big talk for a company that created the the box that the rage factory lives in, The Chaos Machine. All right why don't you block all access to external APIs and ways for people to spy on you using all the little bits and bobs inside the iPhone? it's really disingenuous what he's doing there just... And get this Gab submitted a version of the browser that I've been using on the desktop, which is fantastic. Has all the elements of Brave that I wanted and you know all the blocking and getting rid of tracking and little VPN action there that sends tracking URLs to the bitbucket without all the overhead of the crypto and all this stuff they're trying to make money with They created a version for iOS and it was rejected

54:49 Rejected for questionable content. It's a browser It's a browser now I think that they may not be telling the whole truth, and I think well it maybe something else going on because their Their developer account was They were locked out of their developer account And I don't know what else is going on but it without ado without a doubt its virtue signaling we don't want anything with brave on our on our devices and really always go ahead. There's also the fact, and I kind of hinted at it that the descent browser which is what you're talking about is allows for independent threads outside of the normal back-and-forth that you have in comment sections yes yeah

55:48 And it's some of in some instances I've run into there. These these threads of comments from the dissent browser infrastructure are bigger, yes? There you go then the comments that exist within their normal system. It's really kind of subversive. It's a great idea that they came up with is like enable anyone to start a conversation thread Around any URL, any website any video anything and I think that's probably a bigger issue. It was like oh crap it's like they're taking away our audience there They're siphoning that off they are not using our systems You know they say the dissenter gab guys say that they Sent it to Department of Justice. Antitrust has probably should have gone to The Trade Administration I think FTC Commission

56:43 But it is, it's noticeable what's going on. It truly is And so I think let them, let everyone run around do all their stuff. It could be five months, five years ten years...I don't know but eventually everything just has to be decentralized there's no other way about it and the advertising model yeah it'll last for a long time but it's not a growth industry is not gonna work because you cannot monetize the network in any fashion not even with ads at scale Because killing animals racist

57:20 It never ends. So good luck to him, good luck to him. Well I've joined...I was a member of GAB. You must be a Nazi! What? You must be a Nazi I've gone on there and it seems like Twitter to me. What am i thinking? It looks like Twitter, feels like Twitter, looks like Twitter." Here's what's interesting... As everything moves towards a federated model, it will. I think Twitter eventually you'll also be able to follow someone on twitter from NoAgendaSocial or Gab.com whatever that's that's I think Dorsey actually has kind of hinted that he sees that happening

58:01 But when people who are running, so mastodon.social is a very big node on the federated network and we've been domain blocked because we were branded quite early as... Because of one or two people who engaged in something with some social justice warrior then all of a sudden we're on the block list and you people don't see the irony of saying we have blocked this entire domain this entire group of people because they're bigots and xenophobes, is not blocking a whole group of people based on the action of one the definition of bigotry? And xenophobia too. Thank you! They don't see this irony. Of course not it's for the better good I am so proud of our value-for-value network and the way we've done this that we've been doing it for 11 years I'm very proud of that

59:01 In fact, I'm so proud that i'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in the con lions festival John C. DeVorek! Good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry and good morning to ship's sea boots on the ground feeding the air subs to our dames and knights out there! And good morning to our trolls at The Troll Room they are noagendastream.com and they've been all over everything today all over the map but uh... You can join their anytime this great show is listen too of course No Agenda Show live twice a week on Thursdays But there's many, many other great shows to listen to and participate in the Troll Room. You can sit there and you can say something nice or troll or do whatever you want just be completely passive it is where we all meet noagendastream.com Also a big in the morning to CZM137 he brought us the artwork for episode 1147 The title of that episode was Otard

59:56 And we did go back and forth a few times about what we wanted to use. This was the I Heart Dad blackboard kind of for Father's Day, which... We're basically suckers for the traditional artwork for Mother's day or Father's day at Christmas maybe Valentine's day We argued about the artwork. Let me see what else was well, let's see what we got And then we should probably mention that once when he rejected the funniest one of course was Oh Jake's glove the Glovecast Glovecast by Mike Riley especially with the blood all over it but we felt that for Father's Day This might not be the most appropriate artwork. I mean can you believe it? We didn't want to be deplatformed from ourselves

1:00:45 But that was the, I think that was the best piece. Yeah it's very funny. Even though it didn't get picked and the other pieces were dubious there was a good Father's Day by...I mean there are some other Fathers' day one but none of them was quite as jazzy yeah it was a strong piece. Like Cesium 137 which is very professional looking kind of gimmick can you think? So we appreciate what Cesium did there and that is, I just got a note from someone this morning who said hey he's doing a project for maybe didn't specify some customer and they're doing podcasts. And I've sold them on the idea that having art change with each episode is very good

1:01:29 He said, yes. Yeah this is the no one's doing that I look genius by even proposing it how do you do it? So I explained to him where to what to do or to change as part of the actual specification It takes about 10 years yeah then then the apps kind of figured out start spontaneously by two guys yeah there you go who just seem to do all the artwork in their early days and they disappeared And now we're up to, well we must have 11 years. We have I can tell you how many images we have now of course we haven't used all these images and many are completely inappropriate but a lot of them get uses evergreen as they get using the newsletter there's some of them will get used yeah as if this measurement more than you think actually yes as if this measurement 13,580 pieces of artwork in an eleven year period that is not bad

1:02:26 Yeah, that's ten times the amount of shows. Yeah, so hallelujah Anyway, as a part of our de-platform immunity we don't have advertisers. We chose this very early on and we said to people hey you want us to do this? You know we got to get paid somehow and we came up with this model where you send us the value that you feel you received out of listening to the program and it turns out a lot of people get value when they like to thank us for it and we like to thank them by By reading their donations on the air, we like to start early in the show just like Hollywood. Oddly enough with our executive producers and associate executive producers. And we should mention that only notes that we are obliged to read by rule are those of the executive producers. Correct! And people will continue to say... In the olden days

1:03:18 When we started, we read everything. We didn't have that many donations? No, we got donations and we got enough but it became that we started getting more donations than what we said would do a cut off So we started reading all the notes about $50. Yeah, and then people started sending big long notes We ended up with at least two copies of war in peace By a couple of the guys sending in 51 dollars. We got it. Oh, we gotta update that from not War and Peace But it has to be the entire Lord of The Rings series or something that we have to do a little hipper than Warren piece You know Game of Thrones alt all three books

1:04:00 Geez. Anyway, so we had these people writing these long tomes and it was getting...it was taking up the show! The show half the show was reading these long notes for people who donate $50. So that's when we cut off the 50 dollar notes and you want to get mentioned and we will read occasional notes from the between 50 and 200, but 200 and up. The notes we feel obliged to read them, we read them in their entirety, and some of them are quite long that we don't... We more or less appreciate the shorter notes And so because some people seem to have lost that memo and they're writing notes as if they're asking for jingle requests. They're also very, they're also very happy many of them when they achieve a knighthood or another status there very well we don't have a problem with just forget you know? So it's good to remind them that there is show to be done. So try and keep it short. We do it this way. A lot of people get mentioned, a lot of people get their notes read

1:05:04 sometimes more than others. We do have two executive producers and two associate executive producers for today's show. Oh, we have gender balance? Nice. It's a nice, uh, nice balance. We start off with anonymous Gentlemen, your work is greatly appreciated. If you want to credit my knightly name Sir Thurbig, Thurblig. Feel free but don't mention my real name perhaps I will be in town for the Atlanta meetup keep up the great analysis

1:05:40 Let me read this note last time. He's followed by, no jingles, no nothing. That's followed by Colin Preston in Oregon City, Oregon who sent a check-in and written note. Oh we finally got to check again! Yeah, we've finally got some checks. Do you think there was some kind of blockage in the system? I find it to be peculiar... Well do you know what Comics Reblogger says He says donations are down because you blocked him on Twitter. He did a whole comic strip about it! Did he? He did a cartoon, yeah Oh I gotta see it Yeah... I've been listening since-I'm sure its very flattering to me To me too believe me I've been listening since and he wonders why he gets blocked Uh..i've been listening since episode 1089 33 times 33 Did we miss that when it happened? 33 times 33 was 1089

1:06:39 I'm sure we did your media deconstruction is fantastic and elevates my critical thinking skills you have since become my primary source of news We love hearing that by the way It's good for your it's good for your sanity. That's for sure. Let's go for the big It's not not much important stuff that you hear otherwise yes, your idea to lease the naming rights of your studio is a moneymaker but The terms need to be defined. Would it be per show, per week, per month? Highest bidder nights and dames only would multiple sponsors be allowed for a show I am a small business owner and interested in this prospect as I would rather give my advertising dollars to you guys than to some corporate firm

1:07:22 Mmm, I have so one Point one if we did naming rights of the studio it would have to be in a monthly basis. Otherwise It's just stupid it's just yes two I'm a little concerned that he used the A word there and I don't want to be advertising I'm a little concerned about that I want people to support the show because they like the work and not because it's an ad Well, it definitely needs more discussion. John, he writes...

1:08:11 Oh, try cooking it at 225 to 250 Fahrenheit instead of the usual 350. Well doesn't that come out slower? The farm-raised salmon though it's not healthy! I think the ooze just comes out slower if you cook at a 225. I had moments where it doesn't come out... Please plug my business practicalfusion.com Thank you I know he just did that for me and appreciate it good one Practicalfusion.com, www.practicalfusionsmakesense for an American made stainless steel tank ranging in size from 200 gallons to 2000 gallons all made here in Portland Oregon if possible I'll claim the naming rights to Adam's studio for this episode please send a F cancer jingle to my smoking hot wife or her everyone out and everyone out there who needs it okay

1:09:05 Thank you for your courage, keep up the great work. Sincerely Colin, Oregon City. Thank you Colin for reminding us we need to think about the naming rights but there is some apprehension here is the requested and always effective You've got karma Always gets people focusing their energy on effing the cancer Sheila Demordoran. Oh, Demorderan! Dam- what? Damadorin... Damadoren? Demore- Demorde- Demordren isn't this is a famous famous family no? Is it? Yes

1:09:44 I believe so. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 associate executive producer forgive me pod fathers it's been many months since my last donation but this one will take me over to Dame Hood however please note that i had two paypal accounts and deleted one of them so my accounting is not great but it's below in any case just a recap i did 13 mile okay she tells some numbers here i would like to be titled dame Sheila the lady of Lisbon oh Lisboa all right Lisboa the synchronicity of Adam coming to Portugal and a donation from Coinbrah on the last show meant I knew it was time to donate again. I stopped for awhile as the synchronicity of Adam coming, oh I'm sorry my... Sorry jump lines! I stopped for awhile and me and my husband have spent the last year building a house in Spain Asturias to be exact in the far northwest

1:10:37 Which is just the opposite of the country where you are We've been living in Hong Kong for many years and knew we couldn't manage the project from there So we moved to Lisbon rather than to be a tax resident in Spain. Hmm after many years without paying taxes legally I might add, we were weren't ready to submit to Gitmo Nation Euroland just yet so he took advantage of the Portuguese NHR scheme non-habitual residents, you can consult the book of knowledge if you're interested. I actually got this, Stek sent it to me It's very similar to the US If you buy a house Of at least half a million dollars or if you invest in a second home that you'll rent out for $350,000 Or if you invest a million dollars in the company with at least 10 employees then you can come in and you're good to go

1:11:25 Nice. Yeah, it is pretty nice It's very controversial in the United States because apparently a lot of Arabs and other people are just buying you know Building stuff in New York and kind of all the word around like they own the place The word here is it's the French The French are coming all over coming into Portugal and building and buying everywhere used to be the Brits now. It's the French interesting well price of the value of the Of the pound is not making it easy. No yeah It's been an interesting ride. My Spanish ain't great, my husband is non-existent so Google Translate and some helpful neighbors have really... How about getting a little stupid to speak into this please?

1:12:10 It says our neighbors have been our friends, but luckily they're very friendly. And Portugal's one of the great countries of associate... They socialize a lot. They love it. But luckily their house has turned out okay. There's a pick below and I didn't see that we're planning to use it when we can and rent it when we're not. Adam your note about Portugal made me laugh. It really is the back end of Europe perched on the edge of the Atlantic and feeling in many ways like Time has stopped, although the influx of foreign money from various visas apparently really look like time was stopped years ago. Which you're not witnessing.

1:12:49 Anyway, Lisbon probably blah blah blah. We like got to know the city quite well in some parts of it really in a time warp but as a soft landing back into Europe after many years away has been kind. The people are friendly and the younger ones speak excellent English this is true as John says the wine is good cheap and plentiful its sunny a lot although gray and rainy today And it's a day drive to our house which has worked out well for us although I really miss good Asian food Yes you know you can cook it yourself You know what this is? This is here, we had some good meals. And by the way everything soon to be Dame Sheila said and let me add wine in a tube that makes Portugal really... Wine in a tube makes Portugal fantastic. Octopus! Are there any other Portugal listeners out there I'd love to arrange a meetup? Yes they are. We do have about two or three. No we have a couple they've all emailed me

1:13:46 In fact, I think we've gotten some special treatment at the hotel thanks to some back-channeling of one of our producers. Oh that's nice! Yes very nice Very very nice Which goes amenable to that Yeah they are I really enjoy hearing about all the other meetups and are very jealous. Should i just go ahead and list one? It would be so great, yeah you can! Yeah of course! It'd be so great to meet some other like-minded people here uh no jingles for me but can I have some home rental and business karma so we can continue living the dream thank you both for keeping on keeping on your show is a rare moment of sanity in a world that gets crazier by the day

1:14:23 Thank you very much Sheila, and I look forward to seeing you at the roundtable later on here's your karma as requested. You've got karma by the way Octopus the octopus in Portugal is great. I have never really been an octopus guy And all just kind of the look of it But I've had it twice now since we've been here with this they have these purple sweet potato Pooh, it's very... they kind of put it make into a puree and then they've got the just the octa- It's dynamite. The dynamite is... Hey, the food in Portugal is fantastic. Make sure you get some linguiça. Linguixa? Okay. Oh actually use to smuggle back some of these. They have this sauce I'm just gonna tell you about this there's a couple of sausages that are like

1:15:13 They're not salami because they're seasoned totally alien, but they are fabulous. A lot of times you can use some of these sausages and salamis... You just cut a little piece off and put it in something that seasons the whole dish is pretty amazing. One of our producers sent me an email I replied and copied you which is why I'm going to tell you about it because you never read my email And he said, I'm working. I started working on a best of a no agenda best of so you guys could take it to show off and he wants to do was from Chris. No, no this is no Chris is separate Chris needs people to send him your favorite bits. That's something different Chris is Chris is gonna come up with I know what Chris is doing something just an outrageous best of Sir Chris Wilson you can find him it'd be a whole show oh yeah but this producer want to do A best-of just of food and wine conversations And I like the idea But I don't know if it's if it's a whole Best Of show I don't think get an hour out of it He says he can get two hours out of it

1:16:16 Well, it's possible. But will that be interesting for everybody? It'll be interesting to some people really I think it's really a minority of the listeners who care Maybe do one hour and then we could package it with something else. I can use this as like a filler but in the meantime on my honeymoon We're doing a live show that's what we like doing most so onward with more thanks Uh, anyway. Yeah. Portugal is fantastic. The wine is great and you'll have a good time. And people are friendly and it's photogenic. That's the thing I think about it. I should talk about just for a second. I have always had...I like to take photos and I take a lot of them and there are some places that are photogenic just naturally. You can just hold the camera up and shoot. You got something. You could blow up five feet by six feet

1:17:07 And it's just dynamite. In fact, they have one I'm going to frame shortly and then there are other places that you'd think are photogenic and it is impossible to squeeze shots out of them. It's something about the earth and the light, I think... The actual quality of the dirt? There's something about-I totally agree with what you're saying Well, this place has always gotten the best of me as New Orleans I cannot get shots there that are worth a shit. And finally, I decided that my best bet and actually got some good shots doing this just shooting doorways doorway, doorway, doorway, doorway, doorway and you end up with a nice collection of pictures but generally speaking New Orleans...and that took me years to figure out New Orleans is rough. Why? I mean i'd love to get together with the professional photographer who's actually

1:18:01 can shoot New Orleans and make pretty pictures, because I've never been able to do it. And i'm reminded of a story and this is the story of Marla Maples, I told on the show before... and has to do with photos... Marla Maples was previous girlfriend? Trump's second wife. Oh you married her right yeah Trump's second wife yes Yeah so I met Marla Maples and she is one of the most beautiful women you'll ever see And I realized that she was so outrageously beautiful, that I've never seen a picture of her that made her look as beautiful as she actually is in person. So you said, aha! I have a quest?

1:18:41 Well, I didn't have a question. She's not going to let me shoot her but... But I was having my photo taken by some photographer in New York for some magazine and somehow the conversation because he did art too, art pictures and like it's side story there but I mentioned Marlon Maples. I said you know the funny thing about her she's really so much prettier than any picture I've ever seen, and the guy goes nuts. He says you're right! He says I was given the assignment to shoot pictures of her and I spent days trying to capture this phenomenon and I couldn't do it. So there's something...there's a mystery to photography then. You should have just lowered your f-stop it would have been fine

1:19:26 Next on the list, sorry I can get carried away with these stories. I love that story it's a good story 23456 from Sir Otaku Baron of Northeast Texas in the Red River Valley Wanted to show a little support for the best podcast in the universe.

1:20:57 You did. And last on our list is, if I can find my arrow on the screen... Hello arrow! Always worried about that.

You learned about wine in a tube Our formula is this We go out...we hit people in the mouth

1:22:38 Winning, winning, winning. Shut up, Steve! Shut up, Steve... Also want to get a make good to Andy Cantrell who wasn't called out on $53 a night Oh I'm sorry about that Wasn't called out on donation couple shows ago So we have a person We have everyone's all in for this woman named Caban I think She is running for District Attorney of Queens Oh, okay. And she is of the same ilk as a number of district attorneys around the country that have infiltrated these cities- Let me guess...that hate Trump? Is that...? Well they all hate Trump but they don't believe in small petty crimes being enforced. Ah yes like Austin! Yeah poop on the street is coming for sure but let's listen to this woman uh this is

1:23:34 Caban won democracy now. Now another young Queens candidate is trying to pull off a historic upset, Tiffany Caban, a 31 year old queer Latina public defender is running for district attorney in Queens she's wanting to end cash bails who stop prosecuting low-level offenses decriminalize sex work and to go after bad landlords cops and immigration customs enforcement her election would mark a major shift in the Queen's criminal justice system and yet again set an example For the country to win come on. We'll have to beat out a crowded field of seven candidates who are all claiming They'll reform the system including Queensborough president Melinda Katz who is backed by the Queen's Democratic Party establishment This is Tiffany Caban's campaign ad if you have money

1:24:22 If you know how to game the system, you can do whatever you want in this city. But if you're a person of color, poor or an immigrant no one's on your side My family is from Puerto Rico and my parents worked hard to make ends meet but no matter how hard they worked the system cared more about protecting the wealthy I'm a queer Latina from a working class family. People like us are exactly who the system is trying to keep down That's why i became a public defender, to defend my community I've defended over a thousand clients who couldn't afford to defend themselves, who were thrown on Rikers because they didn't have money for bail. They jumped a turnstile. They struggled with mental health or substance use disorder. I'm running for district attorney of Queens to bring justice to working people, to stop criminalizing poverty, to reduce recidivism, to decriminalize sex work and cash bail.

1:25:18 But the corrupt queen's political machine doesn't want me to win, because they get rich off of foreclosures. They've taken millions from developers and I can't be bought and controlled." Since announcing her campaign in January, Tiffany Caban has gone from long-shot outsider to key contender in a race that's garnered national attention. Progressive district attorneys Larry Krasner of Philadelphia and Rachel Rollins of Boston have endorsed Caban. The New York Times just endorsed her writing, the success of any prosecutor and of the city itself depends on keeping people safe. Ms. Caban is the Democrat best poised to become one of a growing number of prosecutors to show that can be done without infringing on civil liberties, criminalizing black and Hispanic Americans and mistaking punishment for the only form of justice, The Times wrote. A question now is she already district attorney or no? No, she's in the running defender

1:26:11 But she wants to be district attorney. Yeah, she's running for the district attorney drop dead I guess recently Does she have a serious contender? She said one of the top Contenders yeah, she says good. She has a shot this there's Melinda Katz woman is better known and she's got she's got a better pitch I think she's gonna win but this possibility does exist that this woman can do it but I want you to play just the last like five seconds of that which is this crazy things that Amy said at the end of that, the very end. So tell me listen to it carefully and tell what it means writing The success of any prosecutor in the city itself depends on keeping people safe. Ms Caban is the Democrat best poised to become one of a growing number of prosecutors to show that can be done without infringing on civil liberties criminalizing black and Hispanic Americans and mistaking punishment for the only form of justice. The Times wrote

1:27:05 Mistaking punishment for the only form of justice? What does that mean? Well, I can explain it. If you commit a crime that is a low-level offense such as stealing something from a store which you have to do because you know you need to eat then you get... Breaking your car window in San Francisco Yes! You get a participation trophy This is part of the poor people. Oh, you see I believe that a lot of these These people with these ideas I don't know if they understand exactly that Armageddon is upon us and people fall off the edge of the money train or the conveyor belt And that's what the ones that you know that are left to just poop on the street

1:27:50 And so their idea is instead of fixing that, the idea is well you know they have to steal to eat. Well they have to do sex work...you know..to eat! It's compassion! Meanwhile, she had a tendency to do something that kind of bothered me when she was in the back and forth. She was on the show. And so here's Amy asking her question. Ocasio-Cortez you've said she's inspired you to run coming from the same borough and of course the powerhouse that she has become. You know you said you thought of yourself proud

1:28:25 as a public defender, crossing over becoming the chief prosecutor—the district attorney. What made you decide you could do that? And what does it mean without the managerial experience that someone like Melinda Katz has? Sure I was wondering where that was going. Good one, you got me! Sure good one sure well it's once we're back and now we've moved our house to a new house were married we've had the wedding we've had the honeymoon now i can get serious about getting involved in what's going on Austin

1:29:11 I've got to make my voice heard. This is... Oh yes, you're now a land- You're the landed gentry! You have property, you have rights. I do! I have a stake in the game. You have a stake in the game? I do. I do. I gotta stake in the game. Umm..I gotta dog in the hunt and I'm very curious. I'm gonna be a troublemaker It's like what's going on? You should talk to Mimi My god, he's the local troublemaker. She is she I mean really good at she was she is the mold for trouble-making? She'd Okay, I will and well that's it That's a good tip and the guy who wants to build the dome I think he's another good person to talk to yes good ideas dome Build the dome around Austin and give all the cops flamethrowers. I love that idea alright

1:30:12 Okay, there's a number of things we can do and places we can go but I'd like to talk about these reparations. I have a roundup clip from PBS. Okay, is it a backgrounder? Explain what's going on here... A little bit. I don't think it's as good as if you have a real good background or might be better and I don't really have a background but I can state this that what we saw in C-SPAN which happened on the Hill was a resurrection of a rather old bill House Resolution 40 by It was the Conyers, I think who initially introduced it years ago in 2013 maybe even. And it is a resolution that says if we agree on this then we all agree that will put a panel together and a steering committee and that panel and steering committee they'll then go see how we do reparations and maybe... Exact same thing Maybe just for people who do not live in the United States of slavery

1:31:13 an explanation of what reparations are, John from your historical perspective? The idea is that... and reparations is not a new idea for anything. But the idea is that this people that were enslaved against their will need to be compensated in absentia meaning that their current black community would get the money for the inconvenience of being slaved out. Let's be honest, it was an inconvenience! Very much of an inconvenience and it was not much fun No, it wasn't

1:31:55 Now, of course it doesn't account for the white slaves. The first group of slaves a lot more white and there's all kinds of other kinds of issues that take place Well you have to look at what happens to people who showed up in the country like after 1900 We're also talking about the DOS database The Descendant Of Slaves So there's a database that you could sign up too I guess Okay, so this is your... Well I want to stop here and mention that this is not, to me The Believe movement and some of these other people, Candace Owens and some of these others are shaking up not to any real extreme but enough. So they're getting the black community is getting a little out of line here And so we have the virtue signal and promise them that we're gonna do something about this reparations There's free money if you just stay in a Democrat Party So let's have the hearings while the house is run by the Democrats and we're going to mention everyone look

1:32:54 The black, look you black community out there who always vote for us Democrats. Do the tube Don! Do the tube! Where's your tube? Come on man talk to him through the tube Dear black community, pay attention. We will give you money if you stay with the Democrat Party! We have done nothing for you so far but pay attention and watch us Congress has held its first hearing on reparations for slavery in more than a decade at issue is a proposal for a bipartisan commission to study the question and make recommendations The House Judiciary Committee heard today from witnesses ranging from actor Danny Glover to Senator Cory Booker, who's a Democratic presidential candidate. Author Ta-Nehisi Coates argued the legacy of slavery lives to this day. TA-NEHISI COATES, Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweeks Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist and Author, New York Times Newsweek Journalist

1:33:58 But America had other principles in mind. The God of bondage was lustful and begat many heirs, but this committee must know is that while emancipation deadbolted the door against the bandits of America Jim Crow wedged the windows wide open Yeah, and that by the way trying to slip the Jim Crow thing into And maybe we should explain Jim Crow. I this is bandied about so easily all the time Jim Crow definition from the wiki page of Jim Crow Yeah. Okay, we can do that let's get a Jim Crow laws here we go I can do it for you. Jim Crow laws were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the southern United States all were enacted in the late 19th and 20th century by white Democratic denominated state legislatures after the Reconstruction period. The laws weren't forced until 1965

1:34:56 Yeah, okay. So they need reparations for that too at least this guy does but let's listen to the other side of the argument which very few people want to discuss another black guy comes out another writer this first guy you heard was a writer This guy is a writer with a different take on it On the other side writer Coleman Hughes who said he has descended from slaves owned by Thomas Jefferson He argued that reparations would create false victims I understand that reparations are about what people are owed, regardless of how well they're doing. But the people who are owed for slavery are no longer here and we're not entitled to collect on their debts. Reparations by definition are only given to victims so the moment you give me reparations, you've made me into a victim without my consent

1:35:48 Aha, well Unlike or very similar to Amy. I also brought two versions of the story from two different sides to the table That was Judy by the way that Judy Amy Judy interchangeable June nowadays I brought stars to the table man. Who was the first person that was talking? Was that Cuba Gooding Jr.? Who was the first guy they had? No, he's a writer, very famous writer. Oh T-T-T-T-Tashini Snohakie? I didn't put any of those stars in there... No, no, I know who it is. Tahini, we've... Yeah, Tahini, that's him! He's the guy interviewed AOC at the big World War II interview. Yeah right Okay you notice they didn't invite Kanye

1:36:32 Kanye would have been great at this hearing, but no. No one has that foresight because if you want to talk about the 13th amendment Kanye is your guy Even Kim Kardashian West for that route for that matter so just a quickie little setup She was one of the head honchos Sheila Jackson Lee from the great state of Texas she's a Democrat for Dallas reparations and The idea of this Commission should be welcomed by all Americans, for we are not asking one American to give one payment. What we're saying is it's the only way that slavery ended was a governmental action of the 13th Amendment governmental action and reconstruction failed after 12 years because it was imploded by governmental people

1:37:18 And after Reconstruction, a reign of terror that had never been seen. The hanging fruit, the lynching, the oppression of voting, the tearing away of land and the amazing concept of the continuing de jure and defacto impact on slavery today. One million African Americans are incarcerated. That is a continuing impact I love her numbers. Somehow the percentage of black children living in poverty is 150%.

1:38:07 Well, she probably means 150% more. No, no. Living in poverty is more than 150%. Even in spite of the glorious overcoming of the talent that is part of our community, the scrapping together of making sure our children received education and putting together something out of nothing we still have been impacted. Okay so So here's my counter-argument, and I was incredibly impressed by this guy. I had to cut it down quite a bit and take out a lot of his own personal history but Burgess Owens... Are you familiar with Burgess Owens? Yeah, I heard his testimony he is a football player Yes! He was all star wasn't he? Maybe Let me see

1:38:59 Tallahassee, Miami. All-American defensive back Denver Jets 1973 anyway what did you think of his testimony? I thought it was good it was a little long but it was too long and it was kind of like you know logically challenge. No, see I disagree! I thought it was incredibly logical that well I clipped it down for us Burgess Owens and I thought he'd hit the nail on the head actually we are at this point this is not about black-and-white rich or poor blue collar white collar we're fighting for the heart and soul of our nation We have a very very special country that started with Judeo Christian values that allowed every single generation to become better than the last and has not ended has not stopped until now

1:39:56 We're telling our kids a little bit something different, that they don't have the opportunities that we had. People change I used to be a Democrat until I did my history and found out the misery that party brought into my race. We are fighting for the heart and soul of our nation against socialism Marxism and the evil that it has brought to us, in the stealing of our history. Karl Marx said it best. The father of socialism an atheist anti-Semite and a blatant racist yet we teach his philosophy in our school systems today He said it! The first battleground is rewriting our history You steal our history you steal our pride and past appreciation for present and vision for future every single urban city in our country is now experiencing that loss

1:40:45 The history of our black country, of our black America has been stolen from us for decades. Almost over a century Booker T. Washington, 1882 began Tuskegee University by 1905 it was producing more self-made black millionaires than Harvard Yale and Princeton combined the 40s 50s and 60s It was a black country black community that led our country in the growth of the middle class Led our country in terms of men committed to marriage over 70 percent now is 30 percent little country turns with We're committed to business ownership 40 percent now it's 3.8 percent men matriculated in college we now have more a higher percentage of men incarcerated in college I do not believe in reparation because what reparation does, it points to a certain race or certain color and it points them as evil and points the other race my race is one that has not only become racist but also beggars. I do believe in restitution

1:41:41 Let's point to the party that was part of slavery, KKK Jim Crow. That has killed over 40% of our black babies 20 million of them State of California 75 percent of our black boys cannot pass standard reading and writing test a democratic state So yes let's pay restitution How about a Democratic Party pay for all the misery brought to my race And those after we learn our history decide To stay there they should also be paid so they're complicit And every white American, Republican or Democrat that feels guilty because of your white skin you should need to pony up also. That way we get past this reparation and recognize that this country has given us greatness Look at this panel It doesn't matter how we think The fact is it doesn't matter our color We have become successful in this country like no other because of this great opportunity To live the American dream Let's not steal that from our kids by telling them they can't do it Okay, that's what they should've

1:42:37 That's that's a message that they should have put on PBS. Funny thing about that message reminds me of clip I didn't get but there was this funny phenomenon in the sports world where Dwayne Wade who is a famous basketball player from Miami he was and he's a maniac father who a family guy was being condemned for being, for being like go about his kids. You know? It was like there is this movement as anti-family bias that is prevalent and it's mostly coming from the justice Democrats and others that really liked to bust up and they don't want to have you know, I think the guy said there were 70% of the blacks in some area where families now it's only 30. It's just single moms because single moms can do it

1:43:27 California, he was talking about California specifically. Yeah, California and the Democrat Party! He said it! The state is totally run by the Democrats. I like what he said. Democrat party you should pay for it hey if your white you feel guilty pony up fine get off your chest but he says I don't want my kids to be explained to them oh you're a loser or you're a beggar you need a hand-up And it seems like the minute that the Civil Rights Act came in, his timeline is up until 60-65. It all went downhill from there! Well again... The sociology of all this is quite interesting Yeah I kind of felt the same way as myself being a lifelong Democrat When I was raised as a Democrat, working class family upper middle class and we uh..I decided Democrats are just out to kill me

1:44:30 You specifically, sir. Yes you're out to get me! Well this thing is a well again though it's just mostly virtue signaling they're trying to go sure people of vote Democrat in this next upcoming election which doesn't look too promising and I watched the I couldn't watch the whole thing because it's pretty much if you've seen two or three of these speeches by Trump Even one you've seen them all because it's just fun to watch how well he handles the oh This is his his announcement of his re-election campaign in Florida. Yes, okay? Another announcement yeah It was a rousing crowd that place was absolutely packed by the way not viewable here in the United States of Europe

1:45:20 No, not I mean. I could have gotten it on a YouTube feed. I'm sure but would have been 2 in the morning no nothing They've shown all I hear is it was nothing new same stuff Is that accurate? No, it's always got something new He does things, his speeches are very... This one was a prompted speech though. It wasn't like his normal off the cuff hour and half or two hours. So he had talking notes and he stayed on point because it was supposed to be... it had a purpose as opposed to just a rally that they're normally just rallies get people all jacked up I always notice that if you watch his speeches he always has at least one or two and maybe sometimes three

1:46:06 big toothed comely blondes in the back wearing their red hats. All right, let's just stop for a second Trump is a television professional yeah and after we're done with this remind me because I have a clip of him being a television professional okay i'm putting reminder yes anyway so he always has and there's always not they're always eye-catching Well, hello. Yes! Yes! That's what you do. But you end up looking at these girls and they always have flaxen hair very pretty they wear a Trump that... Women for Trump T-shirt

1:46:49 Well, sometimes. And she had this one girl that was very... That caught my eye in this one was she had a Trump elephant t-shirt which I've never seen before. Oh? Yeah it's an elephant with the word Trump that was like Trump making an elephant It was very interesting to see A trump trunk And so she was there and they always had, but I've seen these girls before. They always have the hat and the hat goes on and off it's a red hat that goes on and off. And they always have long blonde hair and it's not that cheesy looking Southern hairstyle that is like you know looks like it was done by a beauty parlor. Dallas. It's good looking yeah but always the monster...I don't even know if these women are attractive but they have the right proportions of their face and a monster smile

1:47:36 Huge monster smile and they agree with everything he says. There's always two or three of them out back there, one who just always catches your eye and I'm always fascinated by this because if you look at a Bernie crowd it's a bunch of beat up old bastards that looks like they haven't taken a shower for a month and battle axes... It's not a good look. Doesn't Bernie have mainly dudes? It's a lot of dudes, but a lot of women. But they're all gray haired and they're all... Well no one is doing any styling for the event! No, definitely not doing any styling. Stupid, stupid. Hillary and Bill before her that used to load up them and I think Bush to a lesser extent would load up the background with military. Right right right. A bunch of military guys. Yeah Bernie has got dudes named Ben everywhere

1:48:28 What I notice is that Trump likes to harp on these nicknames and this is the first compound nickname. again at this speech and I realize that this is gonna be Joe Biden's nickname. And it's not the same as it used to be where he just had some crooked Hillary, you know lock her up. This is a compound bit that has to be noticed and this will be Trump's speech The Sleepy Guy. Remember the statement from the previous administration? You need a magic wand to bring back manufacturing well we'll tell sleepy Joe that we found the magic wand

1:49:13 The Sleepy Guy. So it's Sleepy Joe, the Sleepy Guy. And he said this a couple of times I've heard it before and didn't think was part of the bit. I thought it was just casual, he just dropped in the sleepy guy but when I heard at this time I said this is good...this is the nickname. Sleepy Joe, the Sleepy Guy! Well let's do a test Since we were using Pocahontas years before Trump even decided to run this time, we were using Pocahontas and it was funny and it was just ours. And once Trump did it then we had to stop right? I don't have a better nickname but I am a little

1:50:06 Surprised, but still anticipatory that Trump at a certain point will just have to say sleepy Joe. No wonder they took the top of his head off twice and he should be harping on the brain surgery I think he's holding it in abeyance. He's waiting to drop the big one, yeah i'm sure he does! You'll say sleepy Joe or Sleepy Joe the sleepy guy for a while but that's not going to affect the Democrats if he starts talking about brain surgery it would change public perception so he is gonna hold that back until

1:50:44 until all the debates are over and at least it'll be at the very end when he pulls that. You're right, it'll probably be one of these like you know sleepy joe sleepy joe hey sleepy joe sleepy joe sleepy joe hey sleepy joe at a certain point Sleepy Joe will say something insulting and Trump will go, at least I didn't have my head opened up twice. Something like that. That's probably what he'll do. You know why he's sleepy? We got to come up with something better. There is going to be something that happens now. Now I'm waiting for the debates because that's gonna change...I think the first debate is gonna change them this...in fact I think it has already been changed

1:51:24 I don't think there's... Wait, the first debate is this is coming up soon. Yeah? The end of the month 25th This is the first Democratic primary debates. Yeah it's gonna be a two-parter. Two days of debates. Uh huh. I believe..I do believe that...Cut Horowitz saying that a lot Did you call him on it? I think that this thing is over and if Hillary gets in, it's still not going to change a lot. But it's gonna be Sanders who did- Now, I saw you walking back the Hillary a little bit on the tweeters. You were saying well, if Joe was the front runner then she's not gonna step in but if Joe kind of drops back then do you think she'll still jump in? And I say that because its a courtesy even though it's hard to imagine A courtesy to who?

1:52:10 Well, Biden stepped back when she ran. That's true. And said I'll let you go and now if he takes the front of the pack and he kicks ass in the debates... The debate is everything for Hillary! If he kicks ass in the debates and wins or at least he's up there with the top three then I think she might relent, but there's no evidence that she is going to. But just saying that it's a little insurance policy on my part. I can't predict the vice president though and i'm gonna do it now. The vice president is gonna be Kamala Harris. You think she'll accept that? Yeah! It's good ticket

1:52:57 It's a good ticket. She's perfect for the vice presidency, she is a say nothing do nothing ladder climber and she sees this as a way to top it and you'd think she would accept it hell yeah if Joe Biden's gonna be president this guy could drop dead any minute! Heels high Harris to the rescue And so Harris could become our president which was something that you know consider I don't think either one of them can beat Trump but it's possible that uh... If they did... It's a good ticket It has all the elements. She'll be the vice president no matter who it is and it's getting to, Sanders is gonna be now beginning even though on my contenders list I still have Sanders at the top because if a true popular vote was taken and there wasn't corruption in the media who are promoting Biden... Mm-hmm? ...I believe Sanders could still win the whole thing

1:53:45 And, but they're not going to let him. So, but it's still Sanders is the top guy Hillary still number two and Biden's number three and Biden when he picks his, they're promoting him so if Biden gets in which I now believe might be the case He will pick Kamala Harris because she has the best balance She's black she's a woman who checks 2 different boxes She's actually mixed race, which checks a third box. And she's perfect. She's not the troublemaker. She's not going to upstage Biden. Her answer to everything is that we need have an honest conversation about that. Yeah, she does. That's why she's the perfect vice president candidate. It won't it definitely would not be Warren. Warren's out. She's done and is not gonna be anybody else booted yet? I don't think so.

1:54:34 No, not for the judge. So it looks like the ticket that we're in shaping up unless Biden stumbles and then if Hillary got in and she ran again... Let me say Biden has made a couple of stumbles and he seems a bit bulletproof in that regard That's because the media is covering for him The media really wants Biden because the media has convinced itself that Biden can beat Trump because of these polls that have come out showing Biden kicking ass. And so they're ignoring all his real, you know, creepiness, creepy uncle Joe stuff. They're pushing that to the side and all this other screwy things like the son who's got uranium mines and

1:55:17 involved in oil shale and all the rest of it for China. He does have some baggage, man! He's got some baggage... But they can keep that under rafts and they will because they're not going to- They're not going after him. They gave a couple of salvos early and he seemed to withstand it so now is on his way. Can't beat Trump. Huh I like that. It's a good ticket. I want to do it today, get in as early as I could Yeah that's a good ticket. That is the way to go for them But there are so many... You know what? I have to agree with your assertion He wants Joe to be the guy because he sees that as easy Especially with his head thing The head thing is a problem It opened up twice That's rather problematic

1:56:08 Didn't know is twice but oh man there was you know There's a new story that just I thought it was his recycled or what's going on all of a sudden we had Khashoggi in the news again over here and all the channels and They're too for some unknown reason well, I figured it out so this is being propagated by Agnes calamar and Agnes calamar is a special rapporteur of the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights, OHCHR. Now the last time it was not this woman it was a different woman the last time one of these women because so far its only two we've looked at

1:56:47 Comes from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights It was about black Pete in the Netherlands and she was trying to get reparations for the islands that the Netherlands Colonized and that's really how the whole black Pete thing started now. It's just a mess every year and children are crying as they it's a big Racial thing, it's just and it's all trouble started by a rapporteur special rapporteur Which means it's it's a side gig. It's a side hustle Because what she really is, is a French human rights expert. Wikipedia actually lists her occupation as human rights activist She's also the director of Columbia University's Global Freedom of Expression Project Are you following me? Yeah I am and it's getting worse by the minute In 1995 she received a PhD in political science from The New School for Social Research in New York

1:57:47 So yeah, you see I see no we're going operation so she shows up and I'm like what are they doing about? What does this hat what does she have to do with Khashoggi official pronunciation Jamal There you go. And it becomes obvious at the end of this report. Saudi Arabia had knowledge of and is responsible for the murder of journalist Kamal Khashoggi, according to a UN special investigation into the killing The much-anticipated report says Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and other senior Saudi officials should be investigated over the brutal death of the journalist in October last year

1:58:26 He was brutally killed and dismembered in the Saudi embassy in Istanbul. Can you stop, stop, stop? Of course! You have to start that clip over. Why? Because there's a contradiction right in the clip and I'm kind of have to listen to it from beginning sorry. Saudi Arabia had knowledge of and is responsible for the murder of journalist Kamal Khashoggi according to UN special investigation into the killing The much anticipated report says Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and other senior Saudi officials should be investigated over the brutal death of the journalist in October last year. He was brutally killed and dismembered in the Saudi embassy in Istanbul. Did you... anything he found or?

1:59:07 Yeah, I'm going to bring this up. They start off by saying he had knowledge of etc., etc. according to and thus must be investigated. Wait did they not do an investigation to come up with this assertion? Well the special rapporteur! The special rapporteur! If they already did the investigation, which is what if you listen to beginning of that clip it sounds like he was investigated and this is their conclusions but now he must be investigated. How is... What are they talking about? Well obviously its cover for something else The first important conclusion... This is Agnes here she is Here she's the superstar doesn't really matter what she says but you just get the idea The first important conclusion of my report is at the responsibility of the state

1:59:54 of Saudi Arabia is implicated into that killing. This was not a rogue operation as they have insisted it is, all the elements pertaining to the crime demonstrate that the responsibility of the state is involved and I'm basing my analysis on review of the evidence and on the review of the legal framework regarding state responsibilities. So this is what this woman does, is she reviews everything that's already been hashed out a million times and then says My reportage says it must be investigated. It is the responsibility of the state of Saudi Arabia! So she wants to shift the blame from Mohammed bin Salman, to the entire state and there's a reason for it... I have concluded that there sufficient evidence to demand additional criminal investigation into

2:00:51 the liability of high-level officials that includes Saud al Qahtani and the Crown Prince himself. Our correspondent Christina Jovanofsky said Turkish authorities are pushing for sanctions against Saudi Arabia... Oh I forgot to mention one important thing about this woman is that she has a master's degree from Baskent University in Turkey So she's connected to Turkey, the special rapporteur and that is important to note here. And the crown prince himself Our correspondent Christina Jovanovski said Turkish authorities are pushing for sanctions against Saudi Arabia for their alleged part in the murder Well the Turkish foreign ministry says it supports recommendations of the United Nations those recommendations included wider sanctions against the Saudi Crown Prince

2:01:42 The Turkish president has said the killers of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi will pay their price, as well as that the report showed that Turkey was being mistreated. Saudi Arabia for its part has said that the report shows nothing new and there are baseless allegations Of course a key response though will be from Washington The US President Donald Trump wants to go ahead with multi-billion dollar arms sale to Saudi Arabia But today, the U.S. Senate is voting whether or not to block such a measure. Even some Republicans have supported opposing this arms sale, a rare bipartisan show of support in the Senate. However, two-thirds of lawmakers will be required to block

2:02:26 the arms sale and as well as block a possible veto from the US president. And there it is, it's all about the arm sales! It's about nothing else but weapons...it's the military-industrial complex being kind of thwarted by somebody or maybe Turkey wants to make some noise? It's all about weapons has nothing to do with Khashoggi. Yeah well maybe..well there are competitors to the arms sale I mean, there's a number of backgrounds. And they bring in this shill from Turkey to help stir the shit up, this Kalamard woman? Well you can imagine a couple of scenarios. One, Turkey is doing this on behest... Of the Russians. Because they still want to get into the EU on behest of the aerospace industry in the EU. Oh okay, Airbus yeah

2:03:13 Because, so here we go. Look at the favorite, it's like doing them a favor and maybe the Saudis will buy from the Europeans instead of from us. Also could be backdoor thing for the Russians. The Russians and the Turks are still pretty tight. The Turks just bought their S-400 systems? Yeah! And so you end up with a lot of this is political machinations that are involved, they have nothing to do with the murders all to do with arms sales. You're right it's exactly what it isn't we're being beefed... The public is being abused! I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah

2:03:59 Well, we have a few people to thank and we won't abuse them. No! Absolutely not.

I'm not supporting nothing. Why not? Why don't you support the Federation?" Not supporting a federation. Such a buzzkill... I am supporting The Rebels. We are The Rebels thats the whole point. Yes thats what they convinced you of So yeah, Federation operates. Have you seen... so Bitcoin is just pounding along here? Yeah well let's talk about Libra then! That's exactly why I brought it up first the current bitcoin price 99391 and i'm sure having Facebook come out as with their own crypto coin has somehow given validity to the concept

2:19:11 But I certainly put question marks around the implementation that Facebook's doing. What do you have a clip or something? I do have Libra, Libra Facebook as does Amy Goodman would have it in a move that could reshape the world's financial system Facebook has unveiled plans to launch a new global digital currency called Libra Facebook announced its plans Tuesday after secretly working on the cryptocurrency for more than a year It plans to launch Libra next year in partnership with other large companies, among them Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and Uber. Facebook said it wants to create a simple global currency and infrastructure that empowers billions of people David Marcus, Facebook's cryptocurrency chief appeared on CNBC on Tuesday If you want to compare Libra with traditional cryptocurrencies the first thing and the first big difference is

2:20:06 It's bogus! a very high-quality form of digital money that you can use for everyday payments and cross-border payments, microtransactions and all kinds of different things. Facebook's plan has already come under fierce criticism from financial regulators and lawmakers. French finance minister Bruno Le Maire said Libra must not become a sovereign currency. In Washington the chair of the House Financial Services Committee Congress member Maxine Waters called on Facebook to pause its development of Libra

2:20:49 until lawmakers and regulators have an opportunity to examine these issues and take action. Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown tweeted, quote, "'Facebook' is already too big & too powerful & it has used that power to exploit users data without protecting their privacy... We cannot allow Facebook to run a risky new cryptocurrency out of a Swiss bank account without oversight.'" It wasn't enough for these guys to just buy the credit card payment information from the companies who do a fine job of payments. No, they want it all and this is part of their downfall! This is... were they high when they came up with this idea? This is so stupid

2:21:34 Well, I always wonder where that were beans when beans that was whoopie Goldberg's Yeah, virtual currency means and some other one. It was jumes or something the second one. You can't remember the name of This is an old idea well this is a little different wait it's a little different Because there's really this yes, it is. It's a modified version I by the way before you go on I want you to explain and I have a second clip I want you to explain to me how Ron Paul's operation got busted for making Ron Paul dollars Mm-hmm if you remember this during the era of our show Yes, I do remember this and somebody got thrown in jail for doing this but this is okay? It was Liberty Dollars

2:22:20 Yes. And oh, let me think Liberty Dollars there was I mean okay so It wasn't so much about the... I think they busted one of the guys who was running it for, they wanted it out. That's for sure that didn't want to happen and they had some mechanism up look at up again you know what? I'm sure one of our producers will know exactly what happened back in the day but this is still a very different idea because there were talking about here is becoming a central bank. They want to be the federal reserve of this money, creating and so it would be minting or burning destroying money as they deem necessary which is novel and they want to peg it into a basket of currencies and short-term investments which is like the venture capitalist dream

2:23:23 And they have to be dreaming it's going to work, because they've got to be asleep right now. This will never happen! Well let's listen to clip two and this guy brings up some real problems which I think is why it will never happen We're joined by David Dayen He's executive director of the American Prospect recently wrote a piece for the New Republic headlined The Final Battle in Big Techs War To Dominate Your World Welcome to Democracy Now! Talk about these major developments, David Dayen. Explain exactly what Libra is and what Facebook is trying to do? So, Libra—as Facebook describes it as a currency, cryptocurrency—when you talk about that, you kind of think of something like Bitcoin.

2:24:06 Bitcoin, but this would actually have reserves. So they call it sort of a stablecoin. It is backed by actual money that is various international currencies and also government securities. And so that should prevent volatility From the unit of exchange, Libra going up or down very much. It'll fluctuate a little but not in the ways that we think of when we think of Bitcoin So according to Facebook that is the way this can be used to purchase goods on the Facebook app

2:24:43 or on any other app or website that offers payment in Libra. It's a way to transfer money to other people on the Facebook app—obviously, you know, we have what? Over 2 billion people that use Facebook. It's a way to transfer something of value between those users and it's because its by international currencies and can be used across borders, it's really supplanting the need to exchange money. You don't have to go from dollars to euros necessarily. You can just pay in Libra." So that is sort of the pitch that Facebook would make

2:25:27 The other side of this is that there's no real regulatory setup. It's displacing global currencies in some ways, there are serious monetary policy concerns, serious regulatory concerns—could this be used to facilitate money laundering or tax evasion? There are a whole host of unanswered questions around this. Well, yes of course this is exactly would be as if Bitcoin was stoppable and we said hey come and stop me It's the stupidest thing ever they should have released it And moved on and gotten traction why that this is This makes me suspicious That they never intended to do this or there's some other thing They've got up their sleeve to announce it and say will have it in a year. It makes no sense trial balloon maybe

2:26:19 That's interesting. Or test marketing, you can do that legally. And all these companies like... Oh yeah I want to pay for- You're right there is something else up their sleeve we don't know what it is unless you can- Well unless they just decide to go with Bitcoin but Bitcoin doesn't give them all the benefits that they really want And Bitcoin does everything they just said, only with a decentralized architecture. They'll be mining the coins and all this... Oh man! Maybe if it's just to discredit Bitcoin over and over again that's an interesting take? How about this for a possibility because already they've gotten backlash from people like Sherrod Brown Between you and I we're PR professionals

2:27:09 We never would have done this. You know immediately that, and you got Maxine Waters now against you! Are you crazy? Well maybe that's the point. Maybe as a professional it is exactly what we want. So there we go. That's what I was worried about. What could they be... Because of what your doing and its not for some other, the only nefarious thing is you guys are on our, this like writers in certain TV shows they write in, Simpsons' a good example Family Guy's another They write in extremely offensive bits that end up getting pulled out by the sensor so they can leave in other offensive bits.

2:27:48 So this is just like an offering to the gods. Oh, you guys stopped us from doing that! You guys are always on our case we can't do anything without you guys involving yourselves and trying to run our business... And now they can whine about something Well for sure every single Silicon Valley company that we've looked at one of the ultimate goals always seems to be that they want to be your bank You know, Apple with Apple Pay. Google you know with Android and payments they all want to be your bank! That's like some holy grail for them once we get their money another it's like yeah I'm gonna have those guys in charge of my money they can turn it off no

2:28:40 Well, we're gonna have to see what comes I mean if it was a very smart PR move if there is by some crazy Realm of the imagination in another universe another curry Dvorak consulting group who came up with this one-two punch? I can't wait to find out what it was but I'm not there yet. I don't understand well It will never be revealed hmm hey, I got a go we've got a phone call from From the Social Security Oh, you did huh? And I want to tell people out there yeah they're gonna be calling you. This call is from the Department of Social Security Administration The reason you have received this phone call from our department is to inform you that we just suspend your social security number because we found some suspicious activity so if you want to know about this case just press one thank-you Hey man it's a deep fake

2:29:40 So thank you Elizabeth Warren for putting a stop to this. Everything these days I'm just gonna say deepfake, just deepfake don't care what you say who came up with the name Deepfake? That's been in the cards forever Yeah yeah it's some newspeak shit I wanted to play this because I didn't get to it on the last show. changed and I'm not talking about online, i'm talking on television.

2:30:29 So one of the new guidelines includes being sensitive to the well-being of vulnerable populations such as new mothers. So ads can no longer suggest that looking attractive, maintaining a pristine home are more important than their emotional well-being They will also have to stay clear of depicting children's activities is being inappropriate for any gender The ban also applies to adds and suggests that happiness is gained by conforming to stereotypical beauty ideals like this ad which was accused body shaming. So advertising watchdogs are hoping to expand choices so that ads like this one depicting a girl growing up to be a ballerina while a boy becomes an engineer will become a thing of the past

2:31:10 In 2018, Stockholm banned both sexist and racist advertising from its streets. Berlin also introduced similar bans in 2016 And some in the UK say the new rules are trying to be too politically correct but The Watchdog say it's just harmful stereotypes that will be banned not all of them altogether How is a little girl wanting to be a ballerina? A quote-unquote harmful stereotype. Yeah, I know and this is...I can't answer the question! How come how does making it that little boy want to become an engineer a harmful stereotype?! I can't answer the question

2:31:54 It's baffling. How does any woman, black white Chinese anything getting all dolled up with a lot of makeup from our makeup company? A harmful stereotype! If you're a makeup company what are you gonna do now?! I know it's as i said it's baffling and this is actual Rules now, did she say it was a law? This is the advertising agencies bringing that on themselves. You can blame WPP and Omnicon and those other guys. Hell yeah. Comma because they're the ones who support all this you know this not equality nonsense but all the kind of left-leaning

2:32:42 ideas that are out there, that are... what's the movement that it is called? I can't remember it. But this is them! They're the ones who were big Hillary supporters and they're pushing these agendas and now they're screwing themselves! You cannot advertise if you can do anything! I know. It's just baffling! More power to ya boys! So apparently Trump just said he finds it quote hard to believe Iran's downing of the drone was intentional. Quote, I have a feeling it was a mistake. Why is he saying that? Well, I don't know why. Boyd Zero said he was gonna send me a clip but I haven't received it That's interesting so backing off huh

2:33:44 Apparently, I guess there's something going on. Something is going on we don't know about Well maybe he didn't like the whole false flag idea Maybe it actually was bullcrap and he found out and he's like hey probably doesn't know the full story That's pretty huge All right, I do have a little news deconstruction to do. Okay? I found that Amy Goodman's Democracy Now was misleading and I find it... What?! Yeah, bad reporting! So Trump lost his... the Shanahan guy who is a Boeing executive

2:34:25 He moved into kind of the acting Secretary of Defense. Yeah, and of course the Democrats have made a big deal about this but let's play Amy Goodman on Shanahan I want to ask you a few questions about what you learned from this report Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan has resigned and withdrawn from consideration for the permanent head of the department He's resigned his post as deputy secretary of defense, as reports of domestic violence against his ex-wife circulated. Reports included details on a 2011 attack by Shanahan's then 17-year-old son who beat his mother with a baseball bat. She was left unconscious with a fractured skull and internal injuries that required surgery. Patrick Shanahan then wrote a memo arguing his son was acting in self-defense after his mother verbally harassed him. He's also believed to have delayed his son's surrender to police.

2:35:16 Shanahan apologized for the memo, saying it was only intended for his son's attorneys. According to The Washington Post, court records also revealed a previous incident in which both Shanahan and his wife alleged they were assaulted by one another. Lawmakers are raising questions about the vetting process for administration officials and whether the White House knew—and deliberately withheld allegations against Shanahan as early as 2017 when he was being confirmed as deputy secretary of defense. Hmm. So the way she starts off, what is your conclusion to this when you hear this story? This family is whacked literally! Well what's going on you think

2:35:59 You have any idea? Because it's really not explained except if you listen to the beginning of her thing... Well, some kind of domestic abuse situation. The guy has beaten his wife! Yeah, domestic abuse that's yeah but then it sounds like maybe they were fighting and it was equal or it was confusing but no one really just said a domestic abuse allegations Well, she did at the beginning. Yeah? Okay. Play the beginning again I want to stop it and tell you when to stop. Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan has resigned and withdrawn from consideration for the permanent head of the department He's resigned his post as Deputy Secretary of Defense says reports of domestic violence against his ex-wife circulated Reports included details on a... Stop! His Ex wife? Well yeah they got divorced

2:36:47 It is domestic violence against his ex-wife circulated. What does that sound like to you? Sounds like an allegation, sounds like a rumor. That he's beating his wife! Yeah but it sounds...okay yes but it sounds like a rumor. Doesn't it?! Yes This was Amy saying this guy has a wife beater and its very common And then all of the sudden the son has got a baseball bat He's beating the woman because it's like You know this kind of thing goes on in family The dad's a wife beater and the son becomes one Now it's pretty extreme when a son is beating up a mom, but that's okay. So let's play CBS' version of this and this is the Shanahan ousted clip. Good evening I'm Luis DuBois and this our Western edition another key member of the Trump administration is leaving today acting defense secretary Patrick Shanahan withdrew from the formal confirmation process even as tensions with Iran are escalating Defense and eight other top administration jobs are now held by active

2:37:43 including Homeland Security and Chief of Staff. Shanahan's exit comes as court and police records of domestic violence surrounding his divorce were brought to light. David Martin has more on that. Patrick Shanahan and his wife Kimberly divorced eight years ago, a year after a run-in with police which began with this 911 call. My husband throwing punches at me According to court documents he denied that and claimed she had punched him giving him a bloody nose When police arrived, she was the one charged with assault which was later dismissed. After the divorce fights over money and custody of the three children continue in 2011 their 17 year old son beat his mother with a baseball bat I was knocked unconscious twice Kimberly declared in court documents adding that her ex-husband has taken the position that I provoked the assault

2:38:37 The documents are all public and were available to the FBI when Shanahan was nominated to become Deputy Secretary of Defense in 2017. But a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee says they were never told. That there was something in this nominee's pass, Patrick Shanahan's pass that was deliberately concealed or mistakenly covered up. Two White House officials told CBS News they knew about Shanahan's family turmoil when the president announced last month he would nominate him as the next Secretary of Defense. Today, President Trump claimed he just found out. I had heard about it yesterday for the first time! Announcing his resignation, Shanahans said

2:39:22 Continuing in the confirmation process would force my three children to relive a traumatic chapter in our family's life. So it was a hit job? So here is a couple of things we should know first of all this is spousal abuse that nobody likes to talk about this is when the woman is the abuser And this kind of abuse is always passed, always the menace. The Red Pill movie by the way discusses this in great detail. Let me read a few things here from the report. They investigated disturbance at the couple's residence on 1am August 28th to find Patrick with a black eye and bloody nose and Kimberly with a bloody forearm officers questioned Kimberly and say she had a strong odor of alcohol along with bloodshot eyes and incoherent speech

2:40:12 They were arguing apparently over whether or not to put their daughter back in school for a senior year. During the argument, Kimberly threw a pile of Patrick's clothes onto the front porch then attempted to remove the propane tank from their backyard grill to set them on fire when that didn't work she tried lighting a roll of paper towels on fire and attempt to set the clothes ablaze He was trying to pack up the clothes and Patrick was trying to pack up the clothes in his suitcase and leave their residence when Kimberly tried To stop him she alleges they fought over the suitcase Patrick punched her supposedly several times in the stomach according to her and Demonstrated officers that she was struck in the face Patrick's account alleges that Kimberly was the aggressor came at him swinging your arms in a paddling motion Striking him several times breaking his nose by the way while he was asleep, and tried to cover his face. This was

2:41:00 two sides of the story. The couple's son corroborated Patrick's version of events and told police he saw Kimberly attempting to light the clothes on fire. Anyway, this goes on... They arrested the woman so they get this story goes on and on. So she moves to Sarasota Florida I want to read this to show what kind of person we're dealing with here. This was down in 2014 according to probable cause affidavit On August 23rd, 2014 Kimberly Jordanson who's her maiden name was on the phone with a business partner Eric Goodman when she had to cut the call short. Goodman called her back and an argument ensued where Jordanson hung up on him and then texted him get your piece of shit car out in my driveway! Goodman was storing a 2003 Mercedes 230 at her house in 109 Warbler Lane when he returned to pick it up the front end

2:41:54 windshields were busted out and there were numerous dents around the vehicle. Goodman spoke to her neighbor Gardner who told police he saw Kimberly with a medium-sized sledgehammer methodically circling the Mercedes Benz that was parked in her driveway, and that she and the person observed Jordanson strike all sides of the Mercedes including the front and back windshields with a sledge hammer I mean, this is a psycho! Wow. But the way Amy puts it, this guy's a wife beater. This woman is a psycho and if you have to think about it the son having to beat her back with a baseball bat this is nothing his son normally does with a mom I want to play the Amy Goodman clip again now just now that we have that thank-you for that entire deconstruction and for the work you did on it Now let's once again hear how that was portrayed by Amy

2:42:49 Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan has resigned and withdrawn from consideration for the permanent head of the department. He's resigned his post as deputy secretary of defense, says reports of domestic violence against his ex-wife circulated. Reports included details on a 2011 attack by Shanahan's then 17 year old son who beat his mother with a baseball bat She was left unconscious with a fractured skull and internal injuries that required surgery. Patrick Shanahan then wrote a memo arguing his son was acting in self-defense after his mother verbally harassed him. He's also believed to have delayed his son's surrender to police.

2:43:29 Shanahan apologized for the memo, saying it was only intended for his son's attorneys. According to The Washington Post, court records also revealed a previous incident in which both Shanahan and his wife alleged they were assaulted by one another. Lawmakers are raising questions about the vetting process for administration officials and whether the White House knew—and deliberately withheld allegations against Shanahan as early as 2017 when he was being confirmed as deputy secretary of defense. Sounds like everyone's being a right at right gentleman. You know I'm like The kids and all this stuff, and just let the psycho psycho ex-wife go away Let's make one last point that lot of this argument was over custody of the children during their divorce Yes All three children live with him are totally estranged from the mom and she got no custody Yeah So how is this guy? The bad guy oh

2:44:22 And why? Is this just to embarrass Trump? This is the Democrats pulling their stunts. Schumer comes out and these other guys, these other creeps from the Senate come out moaning about this guy how did he get picked in the first place What a bunch of douchebags Destroying careers ever since we invented slavery Wow that's a good one John appreciate that That's deconstructing right there.
