Goldfish Invasion

00:00 You're a moron. Fueling up the Lolita Express and broadcasting live from the frontier of Austin, Texas capital of the drone star state in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry head from northern Silicon Valley where we're celebrating International Population Day and the death of Alexander Hamilton one down 7.7 billion to go I'm John C Dvorak 7.1 what a billion what people

00:41 Yeah. That's the population of the globe at the moment. So how do we celebrate Alexander Hamilton's death? He was shot by Aaron Burr in a duel and that's to be celebrated well it depends on what kind of monetarist you are yes exactly before we get into supply side maybe Before we get into everything today I wanted to bring people's attention to a brand new series on Showtime which represents a lot of what we discuss here in the show. And I don't know if you've seen this, it is The Loudest Voice It is the story of Fox News and Roger Ailes Roger Ailes played by Russell Crowe Yes who also looks like him with the makeup Yeah so you've seen it? No I've seen the trailers Oh my god!

01:39 Oh, John. This is... It's basically oh you want to understand what no agenda talks about? Watch this show it is fantastic Why? Well, I'll give you an example. When we talk about what's going on in television, you know, we joke about the control room. We know how that works, how the interruptions work, how the advertising works, the commercials, what then-what the news readers do... You know, it's and what they're there for and what their role is. So you're saying it's the New Agenda show insofar as the way we do behind the scenes? Yes, the behind this well whenever we deconstruct media, we know exactly how it works

02:16 Yeah, and I've received several emails from people who also have seen it and said oh now. I get it for an example This is before Fox News goes on air They're rehearsing and Roger Ailes has come up with this fantastic idea for this new news quote news station which Have a clip of Russell quote talking about in a moment And so he's in the control room, he's watching the set. Again these are just rehearsals so they're not live on air yet here is a clip. Alright let's look at where we are What she wearing? What is that bulldog rodeo in town or something Why she wearing pants I like legs Anybody else like legs

02:59 So, you know this is the beginning of The Legs on TV. that Roger Ailes brought us and he was right because he knew what the audience wanted. And that's how it all works, and it doesn't just have to be Fox. It can always begin...it has always been that way. The funny thing is everyone denies it or they go, oh no, but in fact I think it's the way they handle it.

03:38 don't mind showing off their legs but they don't like to be told the show off their leg. Oh no of course not and you know that's why Paula Zahn quit yes I forgot about that now you know Ailes was also a creep and he would have girls come in and audition and twirl around for me spin around and I didn't pull back clip but here is Russell Crowe talking about The brilliance of Roger Ailes on Colbert. Chris Wallace does a fine job on the Sundays over on Fox. But I mean, when he was putting it together one of the things that's sort of shocking to other people... The other characters talking too in the first episode is his willingness to make it look good, make it sound good To do something that people will turn on regardless what the message necessarily is because some people have their back up against his willingness

04:42 to turn it into entertainment. Yeah, well what he was saying though is that people don't really want to be informed they don't want all of the details they just want to feel informed they wanna think at some point in time in their mind that they've got that covered so you know he's playing into that but also you gotta know that Roger many many times over the years said if he hadn't had seen a certain bias in media then Fox News could have been the exact opposite because he was looking for the open area of the market. And it was in his estimation that CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, C-SPAN, ABC, NBC, CBS, The Times, The Post everybody had a left leaning bent so to him what was available was a conservative audience that was being underserved

05:31 And that proved to be very true because now you have one single news network which dominates half of the available audience. Right, right! So it's purely a marketing idea. He won idiot! Well he has put Fox News into an incredible situation hasn't he? I mean that is a money making machine they make two billion dollars a year profit You know, that's a hell of thing when you think that news services began with the understanding that you would often use as part of your broadcast but you did it from perspective and not needing or requiring profit. So now you understand?

06:09 Why it works and why CNN and MSNBC have lower ratings than Fox because they are fighting for the same audience They're fighting amongst themselves Fox's by themselves just all alone except for some minor players since pretty much everyone noticed Fox is dominance, and what surprises me. Is that nobody else has stepped up I Try to maybe pull it back a little bit. Yeah, there's a couple trying One America News I think is trying but it's They're trying you said no one's trying they're trying like yeah No, I mean no one who with any kind of clout high and no the problem I disagree The problem with One America News is they're not showing legs all they got his talking heads That's what when American news is not on cable

07:01 Yes, it's on my cable. You get one American News on your cable? I do Yeah Well, I mean it's also Newsmax and what else? Newsy... Newsy cheese Whatever that is But yeah if you want ratings you gotta show legs It's just how it works! I don't understand why people don't get it And also let us not be hypocritical CNN tries they just don't have good legs Aaron Burnett love Aaron Burnett or used to she wanted kind of overboard really odd, but you know talking heads

07:43 Anyway, it's a great show the loudest voice on Showtime something to watch. It really is it a series? I thought was just a movie No, it's a series they've had two episodes so far Okay, no idea how long it's gonna take It seems like it would be a seven or eight parter just from where they are in the story What depends on whether good big always slow down the narrative That's what you want to do if you got a hit show we'll see Russell Crowe is fantastic though really good Like the lightest what if we have a lesbian convention? Dike off in town Yeah, sorry it's just how it works anyway so if you think we're a bunch of sexist pricks were just being television executives That's how we deconstruct business to an extent All right

08:37 Well, I think we should start with the Epstein thing because that's what everybody is interested in. I don't know why because you mentioned in the newsletter that I thought the Epstein thing was a distraction of the week and now I have clips too but yeah what do you got? Do you have, you must have some backstories. I have the Epstein report to PBS kind of a rundown. You can run that. Yeah let's do that Let's start first of all with this Epstein case His lawyers are saying that their client believed these girls were over 18 years old and also they are saying that this was not child trafficking because in their words there was no coercion and there was no violence

09:15 I want to ask you, you're also an attorney. Legally what is child trafficking? So under the federal law there is no need to show force fraud or coercion when it comes to the issue of minors under the federal law anyone who recruits patronizes solicit a minor under the age of 18 for the purposes of a commercial sex act can be found guilty of trafficking. A commercial sex act is actually really broadly defined under the federal law. It encompasses any sex act that's exchanged for anything of value, so under the facts of this case as alleged it could absolutely constitute a federal anti-trafficking case." Right? This is interesting because it tells you that if you pick up a streetwalker who's 17... And you fly her to a different state No! You don't have to fly her. You didn't hear that

10:08 If you pick up a streetwalker and pay her for sex, somehow you're a sex trafficker. You don't have to fly her anywhere! You don't even have to put in your car, you can walk off with her. Oh so you just traffic... Okay yeah technically you're trafficking that makes sense How are you trafficking? She's a streetwalker This is the problem with prostitution in this country It's not on television That's the problem with prostitution Well there's that But it sounds like a bunch of bullcrap if you ask me. Now let's listen to the, I think i have the three clips sex trafficking clips which you want to get out of way that may be a repetition no i don't think so

10:50 Let's start with these, and here are the laws that are applying here. I have some kind of differing thoughts on Epstein now after hearing Acosta talk about it in a segment which I believe was clipped out of the PBS News Hour but played on the radio. Unfortunately, I didn't record it from the radio thinking it was gonna be on TV and never was where he made a lot of reasonable assumptions But this to me, this whole thing is just that let's find some other way to disturb and get Trump. Yes correct I agree And nothing else there's no other reason for it but lets listen to sex trafficking clips I got three of them This is number one The one we just played was the PBS one

11:38 That was sex trafficking. This is all PBS, but it's under sex trafficking not under Epstein. I understand but i just oh...I'm sorry the clip I just played was sex trafficking one It wasn't the Epstein report. I'm sorry Oh okay well you know you heard clip one which was the one I thought that's wonder why it started where it did Well we missed them the overview Why don't play it then? Play the overview I don't think it's, well yeah we can play the overview and then we'll get back to this. Yeah might as well. Labor Secretary Alex Acosta is facing new demands to quit his post tonight over a plea deal he arranged with financier Jeffrey Epstein in 2008. Acosta was then a federal prosecutor in South Florida and Epstein was accused of molesting teenage girls

12:24 The deal kept Epstein out of federal prison, but now federal prosecutors in New York have filed new charges. Today in the U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer joined other top Democrats condemning Acosta I am calling on Secretary Acosta to resign It is now impossible for anyone to have confidence in Secretary Acosta's ability to lead the Department of Labor If he refuses to resign President Trump should fire him. Acosta himself called Epstein's alleged crimes horrific and said he welcomes the new charges. President Trump in a meeting with the Emir of Qatar promised to review the plea deal as he defended Acosta whom he appointed to his cabinet He has been really great Secretary of Labor

13:16 The rest of it we'll have to look at, we'll have to look at it very carefully. But you're talking about a long time ago and again It was a decision made I think not by him but by a lot of people so we're gonna look at it very carefully Also today Justice Department officials said Attorney General William Barr will stay out of reviewing the 2008 plea agreement his former law firm represented Epstein during that period Actually, I have a clip of him talking about that. Yeah here it is. I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time. All right so he's not...

14:02 He's recused, but I'm sure he is managing in the background. So I apologize for playing the clip out of order so let's get back to sex trafficking and then have a couple things we should look at Well, let's start over then because it is only 51 seconds. Let us start with sex trafficking once we get back to the groove. Let us start first of all with this Epstein case his lawyers are saying that their client believed these girls were over 18 years old and also they are saying that this was not child trafficking because in their words there was no coercion and there was no violence I want to ask you your also an attorney legally what is child trafficking? So, under the federal law there is no need to show force fraud or coercion when it comes to the issue of minors. Under the federal law anyone who recruits patronizes solicit a minor under the age of 18 for the purposes of a commercial sex act

14:51 can be found guilty of trafficking. A commercial sex act is actually really broadly defined under the federal law, it encompasses any sex act that's exchanged for anything of value so under the facts of this case as alleged it could absolutely constitute a federal anti-trafficking case." Okay so now that I heard it again does it have to be minor for it to be trafficking in any case or did she say at the end there doesn't even have to be a minor? No, for the purposes of the generality she states here which is that if you run into a 17 year old hooker which is what I'm going to use as the example and you just solicit her for sex. Right That's sex trafficking! I believe that if they're 18 or older the rules for sex trafficking are different Okay gotcha alright

15:41 Well, that's a good rule. I found it to be rather onerous because of the nature of open prostitution in certain areas Or to open another where streetwalkers were talking about or Vegas, let's say anyway Let's play sex trafficking too for more clarification in this case We saw a man who his friends even joked about that. He liked young girls I'm wondering how much of this is in plain sight the problem of child trafficking How much of this is a? cultural kind of ignorance or shrugging off of a serious problem. What's unique about this case is the sheer amount of attention that it's getting, but it's not unique in the dynamics that are alleged we know that men who are powerful who have an enormous amount of privilege exploit the vulnerabilities of young women and girls every day here and throughout

16:35 the country. What's interesting about this case is that it's getting an unbelievable amount of attention, but from our work on the ground there are individuals much like Jeffrey Epstein who are extraordinary wealthy and powerful businessmen many of them are actually white men who use that power and privilege to exploit vulnerable young women and girls. Oh! It's just white men? Okay... That makes sense. Yeah, let's don't... by the way if anyone wants to read something that may be a counter to this you might want to read the book Pimp! By Iceberg Slim which we've actually promoted on this show before.

17:16 So now all of a sudden we've taken a twist here and we have turned this into a white privilege. Yes Situation why guys and neither but rich rich in privilege? so another words what and I find that you know, this to be I would think insulting to the working man It's not as those sailors The working class the lower-class they're all sailors are also not all Johns I'm just saying, just to say that all these people are eliminated from the argument because none of these people—none of the working class, none of the sailors, none of the lower classes ever get involved with prostitutes. It's always the rich in power. This is bullshit! Yes it is.

18:08 But okay, let's keep going in this direction and wrap it up with clip three. Journalized young women girls who were runaways girls who had experienced unstable homes maybe even girls from the foster care system and that is consistent with what we see in the young women that we work with here locally I think people sometimes imagine child sex trafficking happening at other places to other girls not girls that they know how are these girls being lured in these cases especially so adults can be aware the risks. Well one of the most important things to recognize is that in the United States, the vast majority of sex trafficking cases actually involve American citizens from the federal data we know that upwards of 80% of all confirmed sex trafficking cases involve US citizens and up to 40 percent of those cases involved the sale of children and so it's a incredibly important American problem and one that's happening in communities all throughout the country I think

19:05 one of the things that we're hoping comes to light and that people are able to connect the dots between the Epstein case and child sex trafficking all across this nation is that it's often very powerful men with means taking advantage of the vulnerabilities of some of our most marginalized young women and girls. At least they didn't say podcasters, jeez! Well you can't afford it. So the point is that this whole thing is now starting to look pretty fishy, if you ask me. And so far as where they're pointing the finger at the white man and privileged guy, the rich business guy and all the rest of it. We're not just talking about sex trafficking as any sort of prostitution or anything... It's completely out of control and nobody brings up

19:53 The idea of a black pimp, which is a common huggy bear person. That doesn't exist because it's only the privileged who get the prostitutes at any age apparently And everybody else is just, they're shaking their head and shaming these privileged few white businessmen usually the way they are. I find that whole conversation Really steered away from how horrific it is to do this to underage girls They're just talking about prostitution and you know, they just mentioned a name a number but not about the actual damage when you're doing this To a 15 or 14 year old. I mean you're right You are 100% correct everything you saw on the news in the media about this is distraction What are they not talking about?

20:49 Victims, they're not really actually talking. They aren't interested in the victims they are only interested in Trump Yes, the media has... And Acosta and why do we have Schumer coming out demanding he quit? The Labor Department's got nothing to do with this case unless you want to consider prostitutes a labor force Why don't they say that and then you could get rid of him When it comes to elites in government, in banking, in royalty pedophilia, I have some standing with work I've done over the past 20 years. Well you had a radio station burned down... When i mentioned that the director- the Attorney General of The Netherlands at the time who was who not only admitted as much but also there was videographic evidence and eyewitness testimony that he was sodomizing young Turkish boys

21:44 and had allowed himself to become blackmailable inside the highest position of the Department of Justice in The Netherlands. I merely discussed it with Misha Kutt, he is the journalist who uncovered it and yes immediately one of the most high-powered law firms came down on the station It didn't literally burn to the ground but they lost their license lost their funding and the station shut down So I became very interested in these types of cases. Yeah, why not? And of course it's fantastic to have a guy like Acosta in the Trump administration and to go get Trump

22:28 But why are they asking for Acosta to resign? That's what it is everywhere, even The View! You're asking the right question. the community from their future crimes. By doing, giving him that sweetheart deal he allowed these new victims to be victimized but also the community... But also to have him in the position he's in now. Yes! You know it just is... I don't think people like Alan Dershowitz should be on TV right now while they're being accused of being involved there are a lot of people who have a lot to answer with this. Okay so

23:12 They are calling for resignations, which makes no sense other than that you might want this guy out of the way. Maybe he knows something maybe what really went down was a little bit different than being portrayed So all we're hearing on the news is Acosta Trump, Acosta Trump. Trump best buddies Best buddies flew on the plane once well I'm absolutely guy said this before and I'll say it again And I wrote in the newsletter now I haven't said it specifically on this show and I am working on another essay that is coming out shortly that discusses This they are trying to equate

23:49 The creepy behavior of Joe Biden and his kissing little girls on the lips, and hugging them, and whispering in their ears. And just being a creep! to Trump so they can do a checklist. I believe there's a checklist out there that says whatever Biden did bad, Trump did worse. If Biden did this, Trump is worse. Biden does this? Trump is worse. This is part of the whole scheme to get Biden nominated, I believe and they need him to smear Trump and all his buddies with guilt by association. There are series of photos everybody that Ghislaine Maxwell ever had a photo taken with which appears to be half the men in the Western Hemisphere.

24:34 Everybody, they all show these pictures of her with these other people so they're obviously all pedophiles and they're all related to Trump. And the whole thing is about I believe still is about propping up Biden. Okay and I have a different opinion that is what the news media is doing what is actually going on is I think something completely different and I'd like you to go along into Adam's mind for a moment leave it open for information and supposition and conspiratorial thinking. Let's go back to this original case, it was a case that was brought by the sheriff found this out of whatever Palm Beach County whatever it is

25:15 took it to the state attorney. State attorney wouldn't touch it that's when the feds came in, the feds are like holy crap these guys gonna let the guy go so they put a deal together then all of a sudden there is word from higher hand and this isn't documents that Epstein was possibly you know he had worked for the FBI he done some stuff please go easy on him what Acosta wrote and he's written a lot about this. He has a lot of legal opinions, he was very disappointed in how it went down but there was literally in a document that says uh... he's been very helpful to the FBI take that into consideration. Well I don't want to interrupt your thinking but there is also at moment where somebody told someone that he was a member of the intelligence community We're going get to that You are jumping way ahead so just go along for the ride

26:04 Let's go back to the woman who originally broke the story, Conchita Sarnoff. She wrote an article for Vanity Fair in which the editor had a meeting with Epstein and cut out all of the salacious details of his sexual abuse The timing of all of this is very interesting. It was 2002 when this came to light, but it wasn't until 2007-2008, very important years when the case went to trial and when this non prosecutorial agreement was put in place here she is explaining what was going on at that time. This is my biggest question and I don't understand why no one is pointing fingers at and actually

26:52 explaining why Barry Kersher cut the deal that he cut. The onus fell on the state attorney's office. As you know, after the chief of police Michael Ritter whom I spoke to at length for many years since I started the investigation back in 2009, Ritter said to me many times that he did not accept Kershaw's deal and wanted him charged with a misdemeanor – no jail time or restitution and no registration as a sex offender. Then he took the case, Ritter takes the case to the feds. The police chief? That's yes Michael Ritter, Palm Beach Police Chief takes the case to the feds that's when Acosta comes in that's not until 2006 and so Acosta and his team with Villafanea and others they start to investigate that take two years there is 53 page indictment against Epstein

27:50 But what happens? Well, we're getting close to the 2008 presidential campaign. Hillary Clinton is the Democratic shoo-in at the time President Obama was still not in in the forefront...at the forefront and so I believe given the information that I have and what I've read that at the very top of the food chain, they did not want to make as the Attorney General said to me when I interviewed him Alberto Gonzalez. They did not want to make a political mess so they basically tapped Acosta again which is also why they hired Ken Starr and Jay Lefkowitz who were there too lots of high-profile names involved in this thing absolutely they were the two attorneys who negotiated

28:37 The plea deal, meaning the non-prosecution agreement that was handed to Epstein. Which by the way was not in order as Acosta told me because I have been speaking to Acosta for many years since the original investigation and the original arrest So you'll notice that what you don't hear on the news is who was Acosta reporting too? Who was above him who was the boss well there were a number of people who were the boss Gonzales was the boss, and then we had Eric Holder come in as the boss. We had an extended term for FBI Director Robert Mueller who is in there So what the original reporter here is saying Is he got some kind of notice from higher hand because this would mess everything up for Hillary which... And I remember us talking about this case back in those days and I think even

29:31 The flight log was something that had popped up at that time, but that became a problem. This is Bradley Edwards he is the attorney for the victims He's been on this case for a long time and there's the case of The Little Black Book which was Epstein's you've probably seen some scans of it scan of a scan of a scan Did I do that? Sorry It was accidental A scan of a scan, but it contains a whole bunch of interesting names this app This was great evidence But it became toxic and the document you mentioned moment ago listing the massages is that the little black book? Yeah, I think that's what you refer to in the documents right right exactly And that's actually a document that his housekeeper stole from him at some point in time and a long story but eventually tried to sell it to me and then I had to cooperate with the FBI and

30:29 He gets more time than Epstein does. He got more time and then I think he died as soon as he got out of prison, which is very unfortunate because he was one of the only people that we talked to who showed up at a deposition and was not represented by a lawyer that was being paid for by Jeffrey Epstein or didn't take the fifth like many other witnesses. He's willing to speak. He was willing to speak and telling the truth! And then he just decided to do something stupid and illegal and ruined all of the credibility that came along with him. I mean, that was one of the most unfortunate and sad parts of the entire investigation So we have the black book, we have the flight log. You'll notice if you go to Bill Clinton's wiki page that as he announced that he had only been on Epstein's airplane four times instead of the 27 times listed in the flight logs written up by different pilots and on different aircraft because Epstein has a couple of them not just the Alita Express but also Gulfstream

31:24 This black book contained a lot of names and I just want to give you a little rundown of the people in the black book. Janice Dickinson, Joan Rivers George Mitchell Michael Bloomberg Andrew Cuomo Barbara Walters Alec Baldwin Ralph Fiennes George Hamilton Dustin Hoffman Kevin Spacey Liz Hurley Lauren Hutton Omi Campbell Christi Turlington Henry Kissinger Courtney Love Mick Jagger Cornelia Guest Phil Collins Itzhak Perlman Simon Lebon Charlie Rose Richard Branson Candace Bushnell Tom Ford Vera Wang

32:03 Dershowitz, Kissinger, Tony Blair, Rupert Murdoch, Ehud Olmert Leslie Wexner which is we'll get to him in a second Mort Zuckerman Dennis Ross Bernard Henri Levy that asshole from France Goldman Sachs strategist Abbie Joseph Cohen President Bush I mean the list goes on. Mikhail Gorbachev Shimon Peres the list goes on and on and on From my own investigation over two decades, I can tell you there is without a doubt many but maybe aggregate into one or two large ones pedophile networks of powerful people. And I know it sounds really incredible to listen to but yes there are people who have so much power money wealth standing that they resort to this...it's like an addiction

32:54 With any addiction it gets out of control. Sex addiction is a real thing, now you get to this younger children's sex addiction...it happens and its used for nefarious purposes in these circles. Let's go to Acosta's press statement statement that he gave yesterday regarding other individuals who wind up being involved. I wanted to ask and follow-up your answer the earlier question about the potential co-conspirators were you confident at the time that any potential additional co-conspirators didn't commit sexual abuses against underage girls like Epstein did even if it may not have been same scale because some of those victims have accused others of doing similar acts to them so

33:39 Let me see how I can address your question without running afoul of Department of Justice guidelines. Okay, so he can't say stuff that's literally what he saying if my office had been aware of individuals who committed acts such as sexual abuse my office, it would not have been my position that those individuals should have been part of that kind of immunity. It's not even an immunity deal. Should not have been part of that paragraph and so I know there are a lot of rumors about who those individuals may or may not be. I think those rumors are misconstruing the acts at the office with respect to that particular paragraph

34:28 Okay, nice non-answer. But we all understand that he cannot talk about other people involved Let's go back to the victim attorney Bradley Edwards who was more than willing to talk to this attorney and didn't even have to be deposed It was Donald Trump The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who in 2009 when I served a lot of subpoenas on a lot of people or at least gave notice to some pretty connected people that I was going, that I wanted to talk to them. He is the only person who picked up the phone and said let's just talk i'll give you as much time as you want i'll tell you what you need to know and was very helpful in the information that he gave and gave no indication whatsoever that he was involved

35:19 anything untoward whatsoever but had good information that checked out and that helped us. And we didn't have to take a deposition of him. That was in 2009? That was in 2009 So, 2009 Trump is already very happy to talk to this attorney about what he knows about Epstein. Apparently it was very helpful I don't think Trump is very worried, doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would do this if he was really incredibly worried about being implicated in anything In fact i dont think hes this kind of guy He's got a whole bunch other issues but I dont think this is one them One person, interestingly enough who has been all over the big question which is not even addressed is who is Jeffrey Epstein? Everyone says billionaire financier. Well shit I'm a financier to our kids here's 20 bucks. I'm a financier Is he a hedge fund manager well no one really has seen any trades I'm not quite sure where his money coming from so originally

36:17 Les Wexner, who owns all the L brands. That was kind of his guy and in fact I think he even bought the mansion in New York it was originally from Les Wexner and The secondary guy who comes along Into Epstein's life who is no you know had no track record as a trader No Wall Street experience but all of us sudden here He's financier to the rich and famous Steve Huffenberg Steve Hoffenberg is the guy who showed him the ropes and Epstein was in business with him, although he...Epstein was very lucky because Hoffenberg before Bernie Madoff had the uh-was convicted of the largest Ponzi scheme in history at the time. $475 million dollars and that also took away a lot of Epstein's liquid cash to do whatever he was doing

37:10 The person who's been on this and understanding who Jeffrey Epstein really is, which you're not being... no one's investigating it. It's just a rich guy billionaire hedge fund manager bullshit No one knows the guy on the street and Coulter actually has been all over this I think the most interesting things two things about this case are Number one, where does Jeffrey Epstein get his money? My theory but my theory doesn't count for it all. We know it's not because he is investing money. He was a high school math teacher and this guy Wexner grabs him and says oh you're a genius! And suddenly the amount of real estate and private planes this guy has. It is billions of dollars, you're not privately investing anything without ever moving the market. That is clearly untrue My theory was that he was the concierge of this underage

38:00 sex club so to speak and some wealthy men paid for that. But you know this is kind of a niche sexual fetish, underage boys and girls. How many billionaires do we have here? Which makes me... And let me throw the other second thing I think is very interesting about this case Epstein according to both the girl's account he wanted them to have sex with powerful men, come back to him and report on it. Describe what they wanted, what their fetishes were... And he had cameras throughout the house! So this is obviously for blackmailing purposes It just seems to me there's a bigger something much

38:39 bigger is behind this, perhaps a state sponsor. Powerful enough people for as the evidence I described for the original state charge forget Democrat Democrats Republicans whatever it just seems to me there's something very powerful force behind what's going on here and i am still nervous about this not coming to a conclusion. Man I agree with Ann Coulter certainly when you see the way that conversation is being steered So it appears to me that Jeffrey Epstein is the kind of guy, and this wouldn't be the first in history but throws parties. It's all great. We're all...it's a great time we know how he recruited the girls This is now open knowledge

39:24 Everybody come on down to the island, let's hang out. Let's party Maybe you can hang out with these girls and then after let's just take Bill Clinton as an example maybe he finds a 15 14 year old very attractive He has a good time with her And then maybe a week or two later Epstein calls and says oh bill man I just found out that you know that girl that you um did you have hanging out with at the island? Dude she's 15 But but but you know I got it under control. I think we can handle this Why don't you put five million dollars into my fund? Which by the way is 2% 20 percent of the profit and which he just invested in S&P 500 or something He wasn't trading anything, but you just want to do that and then I'll keep all of this on the QT

40:17 and take into account the models, the relationship between Epstein and the... was it The Q something? Modeling Agency. This is a blackmail scheme that is clear as day to me! As clear as day And its all under the guise of we're having a good time We're partying It's not a problem Ehh..It's all great And then he just goes and starts to rake in and then everybody's hooked Now everybody has something on everybody else And I think that is the basis of his wealth, what he's been doing, the scam he's been running. Everything points to it. There could be a bigger state actor but well let's just for a second here let's stick in this went

41:03 unfinished during the Obama administration. They should have wrapped this all up, they should have taken care of whoever needed to be taken care of because this was just waiting for Trump politically to grab this and I think that he's- that he is steering this and he's behind it everything points to him not being involved in wanting to help bring this to justice Maybe it also connects to Mueller. Again, he had an extended period outside of the 10-year term which is legally set in stone but somehow they weaseled that into two extra. Maybe there was some stuff that he had to fix or some things he had to change whatever maybe the FBI was using Epstein for blackmail purposes to get information through him

41:50 Here's the question you were asking earlier about being an intelligence asset. It came up in the press, Presser secretary where you ever made aware at any point? You're handling this case if Mr.. Epstein was an intelligence asset of some sort so So there has been reporting to that effect and And let me say, there's been reporting to a lot of effects in this case. Please notice he is not going to answer the question. Not just now but over the years and again I would You know, I would hesitate to take this reporting as fact. This was a case that was brought by our office it was brought based on the facts and and i look at that reporting in others like I can't address it directly because of our guidelines but I can tell you that that a lot of reporting is just

42:46 Going down rabbit holes a few more questions. Yeah, so that is another great non answer wish I could answer the question But I'll just talk about something else So it is possible and this is where Julianne? Maxwell comes into play daughter of Robert Maxwell who was pretty much seen as an Israeli asset in Israeli intelligence asset which I guess would be Mossad It is possible that this was the Israelis running this, it's possible that they were running it with the FBI. That they were running it together...that I don't know maybe some of that will come out of all this but in my mind we are looking here at the possibility

43:27 Something has to happen, something has to pop. Someone has to... there has to be another name that comes out It could actually be Dershowitz who is in a very bad position who was now just this morning I read said well you know I did get a massage at Epstein's place but it was from a grandma and she kept her panties on This is not looking good for Dershowitz or for anybody involved in this And once one or two of them fall, I think we'll see Bill Clinton go down. We may see Chuck Schumer go down There's a reason why Schumer is on the floor calling for Acosta to resign They need Acosta out. Acosta is dangerous because Acosta knows who told him to put this deal It wasn't him autonomously as state attorney

44:14 So, is blackmail possibly FBI spying? Possibly part of an Israeli intelligence blackmailing operation. And that's where I think we're at. Yeah, well, I'm completely on the opposite spectrum of this mainly because of Occam's razor somebody pointed this out you have billionaires involved in a sex ring. Billionaires most of them have one or maybe two and maybe more fixers that would have killed this guy by now. Why isn't he dead?

44:50 And he should have been dead if this was going on, if it was a blackmail operation. There's too many people being blackmailed you can't keep that many balls in the air. It's bullshit that it was blackmail in the first place. Look at it from a more logical Occam's Razor perspective. This guy is running here I think your right about their investment thing although he has had a lot of experience at Bear Stearns he was no slouch but setting up an index fund and just having people put money into it so you could join the club A whisper network, hey yeah you know if you give a couple million into Epstein's little index fund here. You get to go the parties, you get do this and that and your going be introduced to a lot of young girls

45:34 And that is not going to be filmed. There were no cameras, there will be no tapes. There's no tapes no more than Tom Arnold and his tapes of Trump. The whole idea of tapes is all QAnon kind of thing. There are no tapes because you can't have tapes. You're gonna get yourself killed. killed at this level. Yeah, you could blackmail some jerk that makes a few hundred thousand dollars a year and he's got a wife and kids." This is not happening with these people! They will kill him! There are no tapes. It was a club, it was a sex Trist Club, covered up by a lot of celebrities. You join the club by putting some money into his fund and taking a lotta trips to Lolita Island or whatever they call it, Lolita Express to the island and that's that as we keep our eyes, we shut up about it. We don't talk about it, Epstein is not talking about it, nobody's rolling over nothing like this is gonna happen whether there's intelligence agencies involved, it's probably bullshit. This is just a straight

46:35 up sex cult club with a cover that he's an investment, hedge fund manager. Yeah he is a hedge fund manager and probably does manage that money nobody's losing any money But he's making a lot of money on the kind of on the 2% 20% thing you mentioned I don't believe a word of this blackmail thing at this point. I can't counter about tapes or intelligence operations because that's just conspiratorial theories at this point however, the lawyer who was trying to bring this to justice

47:11 Came back from Chicago with his son. He had of course small aviation the plane blew up in the sky and he had He had made a phone call before we left saying oh, I think I have this I have that I have the info I need He died The guy who the butler who had all the goods had the black book? He died so people are dying And will have to leave it at that but If this is what I think it is, and it is a push from Trump to get to a number of people before the 2020 election then it will unfold. if I'm wrong then it won't and just goes away

47:54 The way I see it, he'll go away except Epstein's going to get nailed for some... He's going to end up in jail which is what Acosta says. He always wanted it. He never expected him to go out on release according to him now expurgated interview that I heard and so everybody's gonna be happy about that I just think this was all promoted by the media and elsewhere as a point of, just another way to screw with Trump. No you made your point really clear You talked about it for 15 minutes you made your point about that And that is happening! That's what the news media is doing. If I didn't talk about it for 15 minutes if I talked about it for 2 minutes It was long The news media is taking this as a way to get to Trump

48:46 Totally agree. I just happen to think that it is a Trump operation to expose people Before the 2020 election you can't we can't counter that I can't counter what you're saying Let's just see what happens right now your head because is being used to fuck Trump That's no doubt about it, but I have been around I've I've Been around these assholes and they're fucking creepy and they do creepy stuff So nobody's denying that. Well, when you do creepy stuff and people know about it blackmail comes into play whether you have videos or not It's just what happens it comes into play kids die Witnesses die all kinds of people died so we'll see I will say that is rather odd that Maureen Comey James Comey his daughter is apparently on the prosecution team That's kind of annoying

49:44 But on the other hand, I thought it was interesting that Nancy Pelosi's daughter Christine Pelosi tweeted the following. Quote... Some of our faves? What the hell does that mean?! There was an article in the Guardian that said let they let it be exposed no matter how many Democrats fall Yeah, well you know we had the we had a big Republican scandal. It turns out and this I actually tweeted Tweeted out link its on YouTube but still everywhere The Boys Town documentary that never aired thing was for ITV or Channel 4 in the UK? It's about Boystown USA which was in Oklahoma

50:43 and Lawrence King who ran a pedophile basically rent boy network to politicians. You can go back and look at it, I mean in fact it was on the cover of The New York Times my uncle was doing midnight tours with gay prostitutes of the White House during the Bush era And you know, Poppy and George have been... there's a lot of whispers about their sexuality for many many years and many scandals involving them. Right down to the press room if you remember that

51:20 on one of his rent... The Boys Town thing is still, if you search and search and search you will find that although it's grown hairs as they like to say. It sure is! And the audio has grown potatoes uh is out there. It's on YouTube I turned it a link. Very interesting in the Lawrence King thing is pretty disgusting and gross right but so Republicans They like boys for some reason. That's their kick the Democrats it appears they like young girls that's unique It's just the facts that I have in front of me yeah, it was funny well It's kind of yeah, this is noticeable some recent. Yeah, it's crazy isn't it?

52:14 Yeah, well what do you expect? All right. Well I think we got it at least we set the groundwork for what's going to happen. We need more info. It'll be pretty much like the shoe thing which is kind of an interesting situation too and we'll see what happens but at least i think we've given a little more information out there than news media wants us to do and were not hounding Acosta to quit! Yeah, I hope he doesn't have... well we'll see. What do you mean the shoe? You said the shoe thing what shoe thing? Betsy Ross Flake's shoe! Like the shoe thing that was so last episode John where are we moving on can't do a Betsy Ross shoe every single show uh-uh Well okay Where would you like to pick it up from here? Well We can go in all kinds of different directions from that or the cannabis store is interesting but let us know

53:17 Now, this runs a little short. Here's one that you're not going to hear in this country. This is apparently going on in the Great Lakes and all over the place and Canadians are reporting about it but we're not! And this is the goldfish invasion. Well they were easy first pet, popular ornamental fish with calming presence in dentist offices But if goldfish are discarded in the wrong way they can grow into destructive monsters Parts of Lake Ontario are filled with them, so researchers have launched a unique catch and release operation in hopes of getting the upper hand. Cass Roossey shows us how

53:58 We started tagging goldfish in 2017. Near Hamilton, Ontario aquatic research biologist Christine Boston and her team are on a mission A mission to rid the waters of an unwanted and unwelcomed predator Goldfish And not the tiny orange colored variety in aquariums. What are they doing in the harbor? These are meant to be in a fish bowl, so why are they so big I don't remember goldfish being that big

54:35 I think they just have the resources, they have an unlimited supply of food here in the harbor for them. That's good for the goldfish which are not only surviving but thriving It is doing well and our native fish aren't doing well it competes for the habitat that our fish need to spawn and reproduce They generate a lot of turbidity in the water which decreases the water quality So how did this happen? Well, apparently that little goldfish in the Goldfish Bowl those little guys are stunted because people feed them so much and they stay in there. If you give a goldfish, a little gold fish in your Goldfish Bowl the opportunity to live on a lake it will become two feet long!

55:23 So those giant goldfish that you see in the certain aquariums and they show them off in Japan, those are the same fish. The little guys! And this happened because people started flushing their goldfish down the toilet or throwing them... And they lose! Oh goldfish! We can't keep this goldfish honey I'm gonna let him loose on the lake And so they let him go and the next thing you know we got, we're plagued with these giant goldfish. Are they like koi? All over Lake Ontario for starters but apparently every place else in any place that has a lot of carp uh... The carp which are pain in the ass and nuisance, the goldfish have replaced many of them! So this is like a huge problem. So are these like Koi?

56:06 Yeah, that's what it looks like. It looks like it is about a two foot long actually generally speaking about 12 inches to 24 inch long goldfish swallow that bitch and they're not good eating and pretty definitely pretty Wow That's I bet you that's happening everywhere. I'm guess it's happening in Austin my bitch is happening in Austin, too You know, I got a note from the former New York Bank relinked to a Wall Street Journal article Which started off about Deutsche Bank and be they getting rid of 18 thousand jobs or whatever Yeah, they're firing a bunch of people but the title of his email was remember five years ago He said I told you we won and you look at this article on

56:49 The European banks are not doing business anymore. It's all US banks who are doing the mergers, the acquisitions, the advisory role, the IPOs... All of the European banks are essentially out of business and they still haven't dealt with 2008 issues and you know they still have toxic debt this is what is happening with Deutsche Bank So it looks like we kind of, I don't know if you talked about this with Horowitz but it looks like the US banks have just taken over the eurozone and the European banks have capitulated. Well we won but how what did you explain why?

57:37 The European banks can't keep up. I mean, Horowitz and I talk about most recently about their negative interest rate experiment which is probably what sunk them. You want to try and explain this because it's useful for people to understand. If you buy bonds overseas outside of the United States our bonds are cheap. Their bonds are expensive but their interest rates are low they get 1.8% 2.2% for various length treasury bond In Europe and Asia, they've been experimenting because they're looking at some other kinds of numbers. They didn't like the idea of quantitative easing and they had a different approach to trying to stabilize. They have negative interest rates so if you invest $1,000 and hold the bond to maturity, you get back like 900-and something dollars. Woo! What an investment?

58:29 So it's not much of an investment to say the least and so that everybody is using arbitrage to kind of get free bonds from their government, and then buy our bonds. And so it's like a strengthened our entire banking system in our structures. All the major major, big ones, in fact the worst case scenarios in Switzerland of all places where I thought They had the strongest banking system because they have their Swiss bankers. It's like got a reputation, but no they have the biggest negative interest rate in Switzerland and The whole thing is baffling. I mean, Horowitz can't understand it. I can't understand it. I don't know why they're doing what the point of it is and it's not doing them any good and it's doing us a lot of good. We are the target for investments. And so while money keeps flowing in the United States... Hence we won! I think that's what it is. Yeah but what do we get? We won yeah we did Oh I think when he says we won I think he means American banks one. I don't think America won Well obviously but American banks won

59:32 But what do we win? All the business. Yeah, I guess so it's just the strangest thing i've ever seen It doesn't make a lot of sense let's put it that way I hope somebody writes a book or has a better way of explaining it So you had... He didn't help he's not very helpful We won okay great why how You know what was the mechanism How did they get stupid overnight What happened That will be something for the next dinner I take him out to These are the questions I will take with me and ask him, profusely. Very interesting data coming in from the ham radio community as you know hams will save the world. They will. Well... Right?

1:00:21 Where is my, where's my guy? Here he is. Here's my guy now here we have ham radio guys. Ham Radio is the public service network of last resort when the apocalypse comes were the guys who are going to save the world right so there's a dude victor echo seven delta x-ray whiskey his name is Alex and he maintains the RF seismograph website he has drawn correlations between earthquake activity and propagation of the high-frequency radio bands. And according to the RF seismograph, so propagation the way

1:01:08 Shortwave, I'll just call it shortwave to make it easy. The way shortwave radio works that hams operate on is your signal goes out and it bounces off the ionosphere and it can bounce back down to earth then they can make several skips or hops as we call it until it reaches halfway around the world It's a...it's in you know, it'll fade in and fade out sometimes And this is what we call propagation and it depends on the quote-unquote RF conditions But around 4 p.m UTC, July fourth continuing to July fifth there was a total blackout of propagation in California's Mojave Desert and this leads me of course immediately to conclude that there was some something going on that may have helped spur these quakes along

1:02:02 You know I'm a big fan of the earthquake machine. It's not like they're like it's not talked about and it's not talked about in Congress we've played the clips of Cohen the Was he Secretary of Defense who said hey everyone else has got weather modification earthquake stuff We need to have this too, so it's possible that there was some high RL array radio activity, harp as we call it that may have either inadvertently or purposely set off something. Or maybe it was just testing but to have this propagation just drop out before during and after the event is I think is noticeable with something of note. Huh well that's interesting also he may be able to... It might've been a test of something but good course they target where are going to targeted without really causing you know hurting anybody? Let's do the desert!

1:03:00 Let's do the desert. And it was right near... I don't even know if they, when i first heard about it being in the Mojave Desert, I didn't even know there was a town there! Well that's a weapons testing facility that's the whole point. That's the whole point. But you had to have a town to support it unless everyone is going to... Yeah China Lake? Yes so they have a town there and the town has been shook up pretty good. I like the shot of the camera inside the liquor store. So sad to see all that alcohol go, so sad! But with that i'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you The Man Who Put The Sea In Convicted Pito Bear John C

1:09:19 although not marketing, unfortunately. One in global football that means soccer John! The others in logistics finance and store design I had them cover our Fourth of July...I had him over at the Fourth of July barbecue and I can't begin to tell you how entertaining it was to hear them talk about the shoe controversy I did not ask if Colin Kaepernick was actually consulted on the matter, my bad. Although I don't think they would be in to know more to come on that it seems as if the story has finally created a rift within the company though the vast majority thinking its BS that they pulled the shoe. The majority which makes sense to me

1:10:09 Long story short, the night ended with one of my SJW friends calling another one of my friends racist. Keep in mind these are two white 28 year old lesbians!

The mudflats are probably still there and that No Agenda episode 776.5 is one of the best podcast episodes ever made! If you're new to the show, you must listen to this episode 776.5 It is a unique blend of humor and knowledge. I don't want to ramble too much, so let me do my good no agenda duty and call out Franco as a douchebag! He's new to the show and grinding away in school but i don't want him to fall into the trap of not donating to The Best Podcast In The Universe Let Me Remind Everybody that every bit helps the show

Order! Shut up, slaves! Shut up, slaves! Yeah yeah...yeah yeah...yeah yeah That was a good group That was a great group and funny too Funny I like it when it's funny So we have uh..a report I just want to do as an informational report Okay

1:26:20 This is the summer, middle of summer in most places not here. In California coast it's always chilly but kids and hot cars be careful out there! Next tonight to the warning to parents as the first heat wave this season grips parts of the country police say a three-year old boy was found dead after trapping himself in a minivan in Morristown Tennessee at least 15 hot car deaths now reported in the US this year Here's ABC's Marcus Moore This frantic scene unfolding outside an Oklahoma liquor store. Police trying to open a car's doors, A 14 month old child left inside Wednesday as two women walked toward the car. Is this your car? Yes sir Open it up right now. Turn and put your hands behind you back What the hell were you thinking? A second officer removing the child. Sorry buddy

1:27:10 Police say he was wearing only a wet diaper, clammy to touch and had bright red skin. Is that your child? Then you come here turn around put your hands behind your back the child's mother arrested in 2018 52 children died in hot cars across the country and already this year more than a dozen have lost their lives Wow what idiots are these people I don't know it's California It's California well there's no California report That's a national report damnit Yeah, you're pretty stupid if you do that. Even for a few minutes is dumb. What's the big deal? You take the kid out and then the kids just... That one kid was just crawling around anyway. Yeah put it on a leash. Take him with ya into the store and hold him. No no, put the kid on a leash! Well, he was a baby. Oh, he couldn't walk. Okay. So anyway I got this report from PBS and I put at the beginning of it WTF

1:28:07 Because it's a report on drug prices and there is something in here that makes zero sense. You will hear it A federal court in Washington has blocked the Department of Health and Human Services from making drug companies show prices in their TV ads The mandate was to take effect today, in a bid to bring about lower prices But the court said that Congress never granted the power to enforce such a rule What? So here's what the report says, that there is a law in the books now that says you have to put these drug prices on there but because there is no enforcement recommendations or any sort of enforcement I guess

1:28:49 Part of the law has no way of enforcing the law. It's a rule, it's not a law it's a rule I don't think that's different. Because there is no enforcement of the rule you don't have to follow the rules when did this ever happen? There are rules and rules and rules! You don't need the enforcement part to make it a rule This is what the entire Obama administration had rules that were not enforced Are you kidding me?! Every agency did not enforce tons... How about immigration on the border they did not enforce the rules No, this is very normal. It's irregular as far as I'm concerned. I have seen drug prices on some ads though and recently maybe three days ago and it was oh man I forget what it was maybe Lexapro? Tina caught it and it was like $10,000 a month

1:29:45 Oh, geez. Yeah? You know people don't see it but every single... I think every drug television ad at the end has in the small print if you can't afford it, if you don't have insurance. You can call them and they will give you the medication. Yes, yes they will help you there to gonna help you. They're not going to give anything. I have looked into this and they wind up giving people the medication. They do... I'm not saying that they don't do it once in a while. No, they do it almost all the time They don't do news stories about it, and it's not something you're supposed to know. But they will not let you die if you can't get their drug for some reason Now doesn't mean you won't die by taking their drug but that's a different story with they say oh we might help That but they will this is a this is a this is a No Agenda tip actually just so you can afford it call them up If you really can't afford it They will give it to you

1:30:46 Well, who can afford a $10,000-a-month drug? Yeah I can't. Don't think I need it either but...I'm just trying to keep my marijuana habit alive. That's expensive enough. Well talking about that, there is a marijuana story in here. The Cannabis Reform Series is new thing they're doing on PBS Let's play part of it There has been a big shift in the attitudes toward marijuana use in many places around the country Increasingly new state laws are following voter attitudes We are still in the latest wave of legalization of cannabis, one that's not finished yet. And we're going to spend some time this week looking at the many different ways it is affecting individuals, communities, businesses and state governments. Our series is called The Green Rush and William Brangham begins with this broader look

1:31:40 Illinois is now the 11th state, along with Washington D.C., to legalize recreational marijuana in the U.S.. With overwhelming and bipartisan support, the state legislature passed a bill that allows for a regulated recreational market starting next year Illinois is just the latest state to join the legalization wave that's been sweeping across the country. Colorado and Washington were first back in 2012, now nearly 30% of the country live in states where recreational pot is legal. Perhaps it's not a coincidence that public support for legalization has also soared to record levels A 2018 Gallup poll found 66 percent of Americans supported

1:32:21 That's up more than 20 percent from a decade ago and more than 50 percent since 1969. There are really two dominant forces affecting public opinion around cannabis legalization. John Hudak is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, an author of Marijuana A Short History States and realizing the sky isn't falling. The doomsday predictions of opponents are not really coming true The other force is generational replacement the people who oppose cannabis reform are the oldest people in our society Okay, I found that to be somewhat insulting what? Because of the older ageism

1:33:01 Yes, no ageism but I'm a huge proponent of it. Not a pothead by any means so you can't have to write that part of it off and uh...I've always been for legalization. I've always thought it was silly that wasn't legalized but I guess some other people in my ilk as my ilk or age ilk were against all along these are probably the same people who don't know how use computer but I digress We can listen to part two if you want. The marijuana grown and sold today is also far more potent, and now far more available than it used to be. And that's raised some public health concerns. Researchers warn of a rise in what's called marijuana use disorder where chronic use of the drug often negatively impacts the user's life Some states have also seen an increase in cases of driving under the influence of marijuana

1:33:53 Marijuana-related hospital visits are also up, though most cases involve someone smoking or eating too much which resolves pretty quickly. In some states that legalized the number of underage users went up but in others it didn't What we know is that the legalization of cannabis can have these public health and public safety impacts but it does not... It is not clear that cannabis does cause these effects and so the best Bet that states have is to recognize that these effects are possible and to try to combat them in advance Before they become a reality yeah having some standing in the area Justin the drug dealer who's it was been with me for well since I've been in Austin. I think yeah, I think he'd yeah since I've been in Austin The last delivery He say he gets everything from California now

1:34:53 And the actual flower, the actual bud that he gave me was so incredibly potent that I actually was affected and I can't remember being this affected in 25 maybe even longer. 25-30 years. Maybe even more than that. The last time I was so affected by that weed was when I was 18 And I had to sit down. And even said the Tina's, I don't know what was going on but I gotta sit down for a second. Way too potent The whole, everything that's happening in California is now the vape pens. That's a big deal but now there's the pure THC have you heard of this? The pure THC? Yeah you can get it and it's available too And it's white powder is that what we're talking about No I don't know I've never seen it just know about it Okay so there's this...the pure THC and they have some process where they extract it

1:35:55 And it almost looks like cocaine, and that's what people dab. So you put it on a hot coil basically and smoke it in a vape-like fashion But this is crazy the stuff that they're making now. I have to say and coming from me That's a big deal like this is a little too much, and we should people need to know levels Irresponsible it isn't it is irresponsible that III It's just gone crazy And I actually for a moment thought oh my god don't tell me I'm gonna scrum it

1:36:33 That would be funny. No, that would not be funny because apparently that's horrible I haven't vomited in 40 years can you believe that? There are some people who have never vomited for some reason yeah I just don't vomit it just doesn't happen I think i have a stomach of iron Scrummiting would really be an embarrassment. I wouldn't enjoy it Very very bad can have any of that so yeah, be careful people remember You can always smoke more not less you could always dab more not less you could always spray more by the way to spray stuff that we got from Jambo Joe

1:37:17 Like that stuff Yeah, the THC spray is good stuff Anyway, I think they definitely need some guidelines right now. It's just Wild West it's wild west but I think Guidelines would be good when when a lifelong smoker says It's getting pretty heavy. It's getting pretty heavy now let's talk about the 2020 election, which is still all that is really talked about here in general in the US. I'm very happy to hear that CNN has...is starting to go our way! They are starting to turn these debates into a little bit of a game show we've got some positive movement

1:38:01 Now there will be colored lights to help the candidates manage their remaining response times. The lights will turn yellow and then to flashing red, and then when their time is out solid red... Yeah when their time is up they should cut cut the mic! They don't have to... Sandman come out with a hook A candidate attacked by name by another candidate will be given 30 seconds to respond That's an interesting that could be used in interesting ways. Yeah, it was a that was the rule before Well here's here's one that changed and we know why there will be no show of hands or one word down-the-line questions I guess the Democratic Party looked thought they look pretty foolish when everybody put their hand up and said sure Sure free health care for anyone who is a year illegally

1:38:52 So that's off, they can't do that anymore. I'm reminded of the one classic example of why that is stupid and they're still pushing it which is yeah well you know kind of backing off a little bit but here's the problem You have free health care for anyone who's in the country. Every person who is dying anywhere in the world can just buy an airplane ticket, fly to the United States without having to crawl over the border or anything else Now you're here on a visa for a tourist and you can have your cancer cured They would turn the entire country into a ward, hospital ward. It's idiotic to even suggest that you should be able to do this and that's what they're suggesting

1:39:39 They're suggesting that's no longer... Well, yeah. No free health care if you're here and get the free healthcare so we don't want a bunch of sick people walking around yes okay well that invites everybody in the world who is sick if they can get an airplane ticket to get into our medical system Yes, of course! You know cured here then I would fly right over here and just get my free everything. Questions posed by the moderators will appear at the bottom of the screen for television viewers, that's so I guess people are forgetting what was the question again? And here's a new one! A candidate who consistently interrupts will have his or her time reduced in the penalty box you go! I don't know how they're gonna enforce that...I can just see it. Senator Gillibrand we're gonna have to deduct 30 seconds from your time

1:40:32 Do you really think that's gonna happen? It's that they're making things too complicated. I Think it's gonna be a hoot. I can't wait to see this Oh, by the way, I wanted to ask you how's uh, how's that Kamala Biden ticket coming? I'm gonna take him at his word But again doesn't address the issue of busing in America and the fact that he still You know we have to we cannot rewrite history about what segregationists were doing at that time on a number of issues including opposing busing. So it seems like she's still pretty pissed off at an Uncle Joe there? All right, well let me... I'm not going to change the prediction yet but i will say it's possible

1:41:24 that she has, I'm not the only one who would think like this. So she would have that information herself that is possible and she would be a vice presidential candidate under Biden because she'd be perfect. She's mixed race color woman with a woman it's not a bad idea and then of course then she get presidency if he doesn't last through the office and maybe she doesn't even want to consider something like that And so she's submarining her own chances Hmm. Well, she's really trying with this... Because why is she doing this? What is the point? She's not making- Is she getting any more people all on her side because she's slamming poor Uncle Joe? Maybe I don't think so. I don't know like I can't look in her books. I don't know. I do know that what she's pushing is this no redlining mortgage plan that will help Oh jeez! That's a new idea. Never heard of such a thing

1:42:23 Well, the problem with this is that she's calling it a plan to help black America. And there are certain things that are within this document that make it clearly not just about black America... Yes! That's right! It's time for my weekly ADOS segment Antonio Moore, who definitely leads a group of black Americans who do not like Kamala Harris had this to say. My family is destroyed as a result of slavery. Kamala's isn't my family is destroyed as a result of American slavery. Kamala Harris' isn't. Kamala Harris has presented no black agenda. Kamala Harris has presented no black agenda

1:43:09 The housing plan that she submitted, the housing plan that she submitted Yvette Carnell will hash it out later on this evening. Tune in but its nonsense! It is not focused on black folks It is focused on white people that were gentrified. She set the income threshold at $100,000. She's not going to look at wealth that is going to be transferred so we're not gonna do any real work to make sure that white people who come from wealth and are gonna inherit wealth, white millennials aren't getting the bulk of this program We're gonna set the threshold so high they won't fall into the group and maybe take most of their money Understand that the middle black family in this nation makes $35,000. How do you set the threshold at a hundred thousand dollars? Because you're not making this program for black folks. How did you get to go on SNS's festival and say that a program that is not for black folks is a Black Homeownership Racial Wealth Closure

1:44:02 She don't know the numbers. She don't understand the racial wealth gap and she don't understand ADOS. She doesn't know enough to be having this discussion. Kamala Harris does not have enough policy undergirding, to have a discussion about the racial wealth gap. She'll get out there and talk about it and then give us solution that ain't even for black folks let alone ADOS folks I don't know how this woman is running. I don't know either Antonio because... Wow, that was a good punchline What i found interesting about her plan is it's she's going to rejigger

1:44:38 the way your credit score works, or at least that's in her plan. And what the plan states is if you pay certain bills on time such as your utility bill, your cable bill and I don't know if rent is in there but certainly utilities is a big one then your credit score will be positively impacted and what does that sound like? Will tell you that is exactly what credit karma does that is exactly all of these All of these apps that are there to get you into deeper debt owned by Google or at least majority shareholder Credit Karma, Google They want they want to know everything about You. They want to they want to be your bank? They are going to bankrupt you

1:45:27 And I guess maybe she's in with them. Maybe this is it, but I think she is the Silicon Valley candidate although... Well she's definitely in the area And so this would make sense for her to be pushing something like this because this would benefit Google directly. They would really be a part of it. Oh, they'll love to have her as president Yeah, they were that this would be a good...a good thing for them You know that they don't care if you want Biden and David they would have here yeah We talked about the borders earlier and I'm I'm a little surprised you didn't have a clip about this but i'm happy that I clipped it cuz I had one of those moments where like ah John will have it

1:46:07 This is a learning moment for everybody. When you think, should I really send that link to Adam and John? And I prefer it if you send it to me or John not the both of us because then often just like same problem. People say nah, I'm sure someone already sent it to him usually they haven't And I'd rather receive a link 100 times than not receive it. So do not apologize if you feel like, oh you probably have received this 100 times now just keep on sending it. What I'm referring to is Jeh Johnson on the PBS NewsHour with Judy! Did you see Jeh?

1:46:45 No, I didn't. I would have had probably clipped it you're right. Jeh Johnson J is his real name you spell a j-e-h fan favorite of the show? We call him Jeh. Yeah we call him Jeh Johnson he was on with Judy and it was after... Judy Is it Judy? It's Judy isn't it? Yes, Judy He was on with Judy, and he had written an op-ed which stirred a lot of people up on the left about the border situation. Now he ran Department of Homeland Security for three years under Obama, and here's what he had to say... You've talked about it in fact you wrote us an opinion piece over the weekend in which you talked about its time for straight talk from America

1:47:27 political leaders from both political parties. One of the things you refer to was, frankly what Democratic presidential candidates some of them are advocating and that is either decriminalizing people who cross the border and commit no other crime in other words saying it would be okay it would be legal for them to stay in the United States You're saying that's not realistic? Judy I'm afraid this is getting lost Most Americans, and I know this from personal experience and from polls. Most Americans want an immigration policy that treats people in a fair and humane way particularly those who have been here for years who are becoming de facto Americans integrated members of society they want to see us take care the dreamer class but they also want to secure border And... The other reality is that when we change our policy and we signal

1:48:19 to people beyond our borders that effectively, our borders are open and that you will not be deported unless you commit a crime for example. The migrants will hear that message it will be aggravated and amplified by the smugglers instead of 100 thousand a month we'll be dealing with 200, 300 thousand a month and these overcrowded conditions will be even worse. So continue to keep it illegal across the border one quick thing I do want to ask you... Okay so just keep it continue to keep it illegal let me ask you something else wrong answer... Holy mackerel that's a great clip! Wrong answer Johnson okay we'll just all right keep continue to keep it illegal okay

1:48:59 Judy's off the rails. She's all in on open borders and free health care apparently, the two things that can never go together as you just posited I did, i posited it. Oh my goodness Hey so um Megan Rapinoe the co-captain of the United States Women's National Team, soccer. Yeah, American national team and she hates the country! I do have a clip of this Oh i have a couple clips but uh... The soccer team Megan complains Democracy now of course Hold on a second In New York City fans are celebrating the US women's soccer teams historic World Cup victory today with a ticker tape parade

1:49:47 The team won its record fourth World Cup Sunday, its second consecutive win. The games also brought renewed attention to the team's struggle for equal pay. Earlier this year they sued the U.S. Soccer Federation for gender discrimination West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin introduced a bill Tuesday to withhold federal funding for U.S. participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup unless the United States Soccer Federation implements equal pay for the women's soccer team Outspoken co-captain Megan Rapinoe has also made headlines for her comments about Trump during the World Cup, saying, "'I'm not going to the effing White House.'" On CNN Tuesday, Anderson Cooper asked Rapinoe what her message to President Trump is.

1:50:35 Your message is excluding people. You're excluding me, you're excluding people that look like me, you're excluding people of color, you're excluding Americans that maybe support you We need to have a reckoning with the message that you have and what you're saying about make America great again. I think that your hearkening back to an era that was not great for everyone, it might've been great for a few people maybe America is great for a few people right now but its not great enough Americans Meghan Rapinoe also said the soccer team would be traveling to Washington, D.C., at the invitation of several lawmakers in Congress but repeated she would not accept an invitation to the White House as she did not want her message or the teams platform to be co-opted. Interesting backgrounder to kind of

1:51:28 When did she own the team, by the way? Well let me talk about this because I did a little deeper dive than just this report. I won't play her matches to President Trump because that was in your report although i do find it interesting she says people that look like me now...I'm sorry Megan! That's for black people What, to have pink hair? Is that what your problem is?" I didn't... She was just spouting off like a social justice warrior when she said that. And she actually—you know what, I am gonna play this—she actually had to think about it! She didn't have an answer that readily available. You listen. There's a good chance the president is watching this interview or will watch this interview. What is your message to the president?

1:52:15 Message to the president. She wasn't even ready so she's just gonna spout off whatever she knows I think that i would say that your message is excluding people you're excluding me, you're excluding people that look like me What is she talking about? Shes gay They just had no that but what her message she goes on he's excluding everybody according to her well let's listen to the rest of it. She said does it mean who fucking cares? Just like listening to the goddamn clip for two seconds is excluding people you're excluding me, you're excluding people, but you're asking questions like you know the answer there's nothing there's nothing there bullshit now that you know this she's just That's what I'm saying It's just

1:52:56 hate it has nothing to do with anything she means when she says you're excluding people who look like me, she now thinks he's black because that's what black people say to Trump. That's my point I think that i would say that your message is excluding people uh... you're excluding me here excluding people that look like me you're excluding people of color you're excluding you know americans that and then maybe support you uh... i think that We need to have a reckoning with the message that you have and what you're saying about make America great again. I think that your hearkening back to an era that was not great for everyone, it might've been great for a few people and maybe America is great for a few people right now but its not great enough Americans in this world And I think we have a responsibility each and every one of us You have an incredible responsibility as chief of this country

1:53:49 to take care of every single person and you need to do better for everyone. So notice what she said throughout the entire interview, she's talking about this country, this country, this country... I would not go and every teammate that i've talked to explicitly about it would not go Everyone that you've talked to? Everyone that I've talked to, yeah. I don't think anyone on the team has any interest in lending the platform we worked so hard to build and the things that we fight for and the way that we live our life. I don't think that we want that to be co-opted or corrupted by this administration. Well, I think it's an opportunity for this administration to sort of put us on display as their guests for the day. And I don't think that makes sense for us at all

1:54:33 I can't imagine any one of my teammates would want to be put in that position. There's so many other people... Alright, so she keeps saying this country, this country, this administration until she starts talking about somebody else. There is a good chance the president is watching this interview or will watch this interview. What is- Sorry and that's wrong one. This is the one you mean. This one here. Shout out AOC! So does that mean is that an invitation you're taking up? Nancy Pelosi has said, you know You'd be welcome to a bipartisan congressional thing Do you plan on going to Washington in one capacity one way or another yes definitely And I think even just the conversations with teammates that have had. I think everyone is interested in going to watch them I think we've always been interested and going to Washington This is such a special moment for us

1:55:22 and to be able to, you know sort of leverage this movement talk about the things that we want to talk about and celebrate like this with the leaders of our country is incredible moment so... And there it is. That's the problem with these people if your side loses its still our country, its still our people, its still are president, its still are leaders This shit needs to stop And you can tell by someone's words within five minutes what they're all about. And if this country, this country, this country, but when it's something she likes, our country! That is very disingenuous. What irks me about this is that there's no way there are not one or two normal people on that team who would love to go to the White House but she's a bully and she has prevented anybody from speaking up except her

1:56:18 Correct. Now, I will say i watched the full interview with her on Anderson Cooper. I watched the full interview with her on Rachel Maddow. I don't dislike her. I think she's good for the sport because you need someone who is a loud mouth has a great profile Her stance with their arms wide one little bit higher is iconic it's thought about his branding maybe the Nike people helped her out with that By the way, they got a lot of money in this Federation. So this is all infighting at the Federation level It's about sponsorships it's about the money She's pissed off that they had three World Cups all at the same time She's doing a very good job because you need a loudmouth like Beckham You need well he used to be allowed mouth you needed any loud mouths who are great players To propel the sport forward so I'm not I'm not so much against that

1:57:11 But she's at the end of her career, you see. She's 34, she's almost 35... She only has a few more years to go. She'll do the Olympics. She may not even do the next World Cup So I don't have that much of a problem with it. I do have a problem with the US Soccer Federation. There is so much money in here and it's every single sports brand It's Anheuser-Busch These those are the guys who determine where the money goes So, you know to make this about equal pay and all that crap is completely Completely outrageous. Here's the here's the ad that Nike ran right after their win I believe! I believe that!

1:58:07 I believe that we will be four-time champions and keep winning until we not only become the best female soccer team, but the best soccer team in the world. And that a whole generation of girls and boys will go out and play and say things like... ...I want to be like Megan Rapinoe when I grow up! And they'll be inspired to talk AND win, and stand up for themselves! And I believe that we will make our voices heard, and TV shows will be talking about us every single day and not just once every 4 years, soccer field like breaking every single glass ceiling and having their faces carved on that rush floor. And then we'll keep fighting not just to make history, but to change it!

1:58:46 So what she is, is a spokesperson for social justice and brand identity marketing. That's what this is all about! Everything that comes out of her mouth is all about the brand and as we know from social media anything Trump is bad for the brand can't be a part of it look at the logo she's wearing the Nike logo and that is what is going on with her to add to that There was a big conference recently of advertisers called Add Colors and this was about advertising towards people of color. And they brought out Mark Pritchard, the chief brand officer if you can believe that title of Procter & Gamble. Now Proctor & Gamble is a lot of what we call FMCG's fast-moving consumer goods whether they have Tide or other big Procter & Gamble brands John?

1:59:46 Colgate. No, that's Colgate Palmolive. I don't know if they don't keep track of... There are two giant companies and you know Colgate, Palmolive and Parker & Gamble. Okay well they got Listerine, they got Pert Plus, they got Oreo, they've all kinds of stuff so this guy comes out and he is talking to this crowd and it did have a Oreo. Oh there was a troll room comment so i thought maybe they did So Mark Pritchard, the chief brand officer comes out after showing a video of an advertisement which was called The Talk. And the advertisement shows black mothers and fathers talking with their kids about how you have to be careful when you get pulled over by cop, how you have to act that you may have to work twice as hard than white children of the same age

2:00:38 I'm not sure i agree with all everything that's in this the talk commercial. So he comes out of that and here's kind of his little rap you just seen the talk which is brilliant creative work brilliant but it was also a moment of truth where we stepped up to take a bold stand We shined a light on racial bias by focusing on the talk That black parents in America constantly have with their children To help them deal with the everyday prejudice they'll face Now this was a powerful statement But it was not without controversy. Most of the responses were positive, with one group saying that's my life thank you for recognizing it and another group saying wow I didn't realize that happens let's talk about it but some reactions were negative denying that the issue exists at all and a few were very negative angrily saying why are companies involved in social and political issues? Why don't you just stick to selling products

2:01:40 Well, we had an answer to that. If not us then who? If not now then when? We didn't stop in fact we doubled down on both advertising spending and PR. We worked with the ABC hit show Black-ish to do an entire episode on The Talk with national advertising. We reinforced the message that this film has an important purpose that is needed today more than ever...to promote conversation. Conversation leads to understanding Understanding leads to changing attitudes. Attitude change leads to behavior change, and behavior change leads to positive action." We were even asked to consider editing out some of the controversial parts of the ad but we refused because that would have denied truth and just because it's not one person's reality doesn't mean that is not another person's truth Now the heat we faced was a real moment of truth

2:02:40 We read some very angry, harsh and hateful mail. People within our own company wondered if the fight was worth it and we had to ask ourselves do we stand down and avoid controversy or do we keep going? To speak truth and inspire conversations, we chose to keep going because there's so much more. This by the way is the more that must be done the advertise my the advertising community congratulating each other But I know what this is about and it's a I couldn't figure out why why do they keep doing this? Why did brands want to be all social and what is the point and after I read this Wall Street Journal article about regulators

2:03:26 who are really diving into the way you can advertise on the internet today, particularly Facebook I think is mentioned the most here. Where you can segregate right down to age race sexuality and all these different things to target a market which of course has been called racist that's racist so these guys as he said himself they're doubling down why because they want to justify it They know that if they can find the right product for LGBTQQIAPK, that they can sell a shitload of product to that group. But when they do that, they get called out as being you know...as doing it off-the-backs of gay people

2:04:11 Which they're doing, but now they have this on. No no no you see we are speaking up because if we don't do it who will do it? They are taking themselves above all of this to say It's okay for us to be racist or sexist Or ageist when targeting advertising which by the way has been the norm ever since advertising was invented But because I give all the scrutiny Now they have to turn into something else. I think a little backfire But for now, that's what they're holding to. We have to do it! You people can't do it. We... we the brands, we understand. We understand the injustice." Okay? That's it? I-I w-w-yeah, I guess. Nothing to add? Nothing nothing no comment? Uhh.. No. No not really. Hmm

2:05:15 That's disappointing. I think it is gonna backfire and that's a bit I don't know how it's gonna back fire But these guys can get themselves out of it well They can always get themselves out of it, but in the meantime I think the brands are garnering a lot of power this way because you know no I'm not seeing it well You agree with me that they're responsible for a lot of the content takedowns all the advertisers are Yeah, yeah but mainly the brand advertisers by the way of the big boys.

2:05:54 I don't know that Procter & Gamble per se is a brand. It's their products like crusts and pastes... Well no, it's the individual brands so for instance they took t-shirts and they printed on the t-shirt slurs against Mexicans and Cubans except they didn't print it in ink they printed it in ketchup And then they hung them all up in a store, it's all in Spanish that why I don't have the clip. And they brought in you know the target market And this is an ad, by the way. They brought in the Target market and they're looking at these like wow I can't believe this is so disgusting This is a completely racist t-shirt. And then all of a sudden they say aha But we're gonna help you remove the labels with Tide And they pull out the tide pod and of course it washes the ketchup right out I mean that's the kind of shit they're doing now. I just think of it as pandering Hey Twitter is way down down like has a massive problem

2:06:57 Like, something that we haven't seen I think. They may have been hacked actually someone said. Oh Twitter's down right now you're saying? Yeah! But it has been down for a while and apparently it may not come back very soon Well doesn't take much if you get inside these things to bring the whole thing down That is the problem with online everything I love that We need more of this to go down Finally we'll have some normalcy No we don't because you had nothing but an hour worth of agony this morning largely because of online Well now you're gonna go to a web browser. You're gonna get all technical on me about that, but that's not fair! We love it when someone else has technical problems we hate it when it happens to us. I'm going to show my salute by donating to No Agenda imagine all the people who could do this oh yeah that'd be fab. Sorry for people to think uh problem is...you know I don't know how this happens but um

2:07:59 I have a mic stand that's got it screwed into a base. Oh, this is the thing that's falling down again? Yeah And i don't move this mic but it slowly over months and months unscrews itself And I'm reminded of if everyone remembers it when they had a phone with the cord. Oh, it would tangle you could never get it untangled. Somehow over... You're just picking up the phone and talking to talk and put it back. You pick up the phone, you talk, you put it back but somehow over months and months it starts to twist. You're not twisting it! Who's twisting it?

2:08:37 Maybe someone comes in where you're not looking into your secret studio by the way when Twitter's down a lot of people can't log into other things because they foolishly thought it was A great idea to use their Twitter to login to stuff well Facebook's worse for that They both do it, but apparently the whole authorization system is down. Yeah probably as microservices architect ah there it is One little guy, one little system which they didn't really have a workaround for is down and the whole thing is down because nobody did their job. But Sir Rod did his job and came in with $155. Sir Atomic Rod Adams, what does he say?

That's also fun, and thank you all for supporting The No Agenda show Dvorak org slashing a So we have a one country, two controversies. The U.K. ambassador and Trump in Twitter. I got this Trump and Twitter rundown which I have some thoughts on. Let's have a listen. Trump is violating the Constitution when he blocks his critics on Twitter

2:21:06 Jamil Jaffer of Columbia University's Knight First Amendment Institute, which filed the lawsuit said, quote, "'Public officials' social media accounts are now among the most significant forums for discussion of government policy. This decision will ensure that people aren't excluded from these forums simply because of their viewpoints and that public officials aren't insulated from their constituents' criticism.' It will help ensure the integrity and vitality of digital spaces that are increasingly important to our democracy, Jamil Jaffer said. Hmm OK well you know hopefully he knows he can mute people

2:21:45 Because there's no discussion going on. Unfortunately, I can't go on Twitter because something is technically wrong Yeah these guys are in trouble too. I would love it! Just to read some of the tweets that he has to put up with these are not discussions You're a moron you're a moron. You know this Rob Reiner type of thing? I mean this is nonsense He should be able to block whoever he wants And it's not like you can't log out and then look at it anyway. I think even doesn't Twitter or when they were working is true back in the day when Twitter was working, you could click on the this tweet is from someone who you've blocked owner that's the other way around? I'm sorry. That wouldn't work that way. No but you're right if you're blocked You can just go on twitter and go to there's thing by bit by unlocking Yeah So it's not as though you can't get to the tweets right

2:22:32 So this is bullcrap. This is just another thing, just to harass the President of the United States? Okay well... Well he already did and he brought down Twitter said hey bite me that's what I did right there go Trump! You should just keep blocking people And keep bringing Twitter down it's hilarious and this is on social media day by the way you know Trump has a like its social media conference or something in which he hasn't invited any social media companies I have no knowledge of this. Oh yeah, so he invited... let me see Social Media Day White House. I know he invited like the grrr graphics guy Let me see who's it say? Who was invited here? Ben Garrison fringe conservative cartoonist Who else is invited Charlie Kirk Carpe Donkdom

2:23:33 Charlie Kirk. Yes, let me see is anyone else here? Troll room maybe you can help me out with some other people there so I'm not sure exactly what he's doing but... He's having a party! Yeah and then he probably went hey watch this and then he brought Twitter down oh crap it just came back no we've having trouble loading your timeline huh Ooh, these guys are... You thought I'd get pissed off when shit doesn't work on the show? These guys. Someone must be banging their head right now this is not good. No, that's money lost! Yes every second they're down they losing money

2:24:12 Well, so let's talk about the ambassador situation which is kind of funny on the other hand. So I kind of did a little dive into it and couldn't get anywhere but let's play UK Ambassador DN. This is The Democracy Now report. Britain's ambassador to the United States Kim Darroch resigned today following the fallout from leaked cables in which he called Trump inept insecure an incompetent In cables going back as far as 2017, Darroch questioned whether the Trump administration will ever look competent. He also said Trump's presidency could crash and burn and voiced fears that he may launch an attack on Iran. On Tuesday, Trump continued to lash out at Darroch, tweeting, "'The wacky ambassador' that the UK foisted upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with—a very stupid guy,' Trump said."

2:25:05 He also called outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May foolish and blamed her for creating a mess of Brexit. So in that report, it says that they went you know he's bitched about Trump since going back to 2017 so I found the clip of him in 2017 At some meeting talking about the Trump administration and public forum, and I want to play it. And I don't know what this guy must be two-faced or he's just a nice guy in public and he hates people in private. You know? I have no idea but this is what he thinks of the administration Supposedly when he was still writing bad, bad memos. Mr Ambassador Anne Guerin with the Washington Post could you expand a little bit please on something you said in 2017? Yes that's what I'm playing UK ambassador 2017 actually it's UK ambassador Dior 2017 is that the one? And thats the way it starts

2:25:58 Mr. Ambassador, Ann Guerin... Oh yeah this is okay let me preface it This is a question from the Washington Post Okay go Mr. Ambassador, Anne Guerin with the Washington Post Could you expand a little bit please on something you said a few answers ago about your government's dealings with the new administration and how you're finding the flow of information been a lot written about nobody home at the State Department and difficulty getting people confirmed at the higher and mid levels. Are you finding any problem getting your own questions answered, getting in to see the people you need to see? And then just

2:26:37 A moment ago you mentioned Tillerson at NATO. How do you assess the he was going to go, then he wasn't going to go, then he was gonna go again to the rescheduled meeting? Were you surprised by that and what would your advice be? On your first question, the frank and straightforward short answer is no. We are not expressing any problems indeed the contrary. The Prime Minister was lucky enough to get into – it wasn't luck I mean she was invited to see the new President within a week of inauguration 27th

2:27:13 January, which was actually historically early for a British Prime Minister to get in. We checked the records back so we couldn't have had a warmer or more gracious welcome or got in sooner, we felt. The Foreign Secretary was over as I say last week and in one day a day also when I think there was something going on, on health care. You know what I mean? Don't follow these things obviously but it was quite a busy day for the administration nevertheless he got to see basically in the course of the day Vice President Pence Secretary of State Tillerson and National Security Advisor H.R McMaster

2:27:53 Which I think is pretty good of an administration to be that accessible on such an exceptionally sort-of pressured day in the domestic legislative calendar. Well this guy should be fired for being boring! I couldn't, I knew i could get some clip off of this but this boring is like the it's not even close to describing. So what's up with this guy? But I don't see what you know he's like thinking he's singing their praises I guess and then in the back yeah these guys are a bunch of a-holes I find people like this to be reprehensible. Well, that's what everybody does we've read the the US diplomatic cables on wikiLeaks They're all Hey there up there with the with the Epstein people they all think they're better than you So here's a funny This is a clip as I didn't want to play the Veritas thing with a guy who talks like this I don't like the that whole way They're doing these voices But I did like this document read

2:28:59 about Google. Google's really, you know this whole area it's not anything that you can blame on tech right now. It's really the Bay Area I'm missing some information You're talking about Veritas? Are you talking about the whistleblower The google whistleblower from Veritas Yeah but they read this document just find googled it and then we talk Oh this is new okay it's new alright Please join in Google to remove ads from Breitbart dot com Ah! It is dated March 23rd 2017. Quote, I'm sure most of you are aware of the extreme sexism that articles and comments on Breitbart disseminates for this and many other reasons my colleagues and i have drafted an internal letter to leadership asking them to end Google's business relationship with Breitbart 1186 Googlers have co-signed the letter okay so there

2:29:54 I was listening to this and then they heard that whistleblower guy, which I'm not taping him. I was thinking what is wrong with these people? I mean, do they know anything about the internet? Are they too young to remember the good old days or... Oh there's a sexist comment on Breitbart. There are sexist comments everywhere if you leave the comment channel open! Yeah but that is not what this is about. I mean come on! You know what this is about But these guys are just upset about everything. It's about deplatforming it's about getting rid of... This is Media Matters Sleeping Giants all by the way

2:30:35 One of our producers took that whistleblower with the phony baloney voice And it wasn't even, I thought it was a vocoder which is uh... you know It's uh.. A way of digitizing a voice so that you can make it sound very very different. They just spun it down 5% He spun up for us This is- this just some millennial guy Facts that you can interpret any way you want Let me see That's it So the things that changed Was that in the TJFs they start For some reason um this is one channel only I know your hearing but I don't think the stream hears It's just a regular millennial kid at YouTube. They had the same like talks by the CEO Susan And and this is so poorly done that I think I'm doubting this even more now This whistleblower if you want to be kept confidential all they did is just spin your voice down 5% You can hear exactly who he is when you spin it up five percent kind of whistleblowers That or what kind of protection is Veritas giving him? Well, that's pretty lame. It's extremely lame

2:31:42 Yeah, but this is just more of the same. It's a fight it's an ongoing fight to remove people Bitcoin has been doing interesting moves whenever and this is the way I've been tracking it whenever there's talk of the Federal Reserve maybe we won't cut rates Maybe they'll be less than you expected boom The thing goes up was up to over 13 thousand yesterday This morning that the Fed notes Word I guess what they call dovish which means that you know we probably will may might cut that right anyway boom Bitcoin goes down So it seems that at least at these levels It may be a hedge for some for some investors like okay if the interest rates are gonna go up We're gonna put into Bitcoin because at least that has a set interest rate schedule This is disturbing the elites in the banking community on deck to become the new

2:32:35 Head of the European Central Bank is Fifi Lagarde, also known as Madame Christine Lagarde. Foremost currently still of the International Monetary Fund and she was asked about it about Well she was asked about cryptocurrencies and notice She won't mention Bitcoin by name one of the main topics up there with Cryptocurrencies in all sorts of companies now getting to this effort not least among them Facebook What kind of threat does this pose to the traditional banking system? Well, I think you have incumbents the banks commercial banks and you have the disruptors. And clearly the disruptors are having an impact on the incumbent's we just heard a very large systemic bank here saying that they're launching their digital coin

2:33:18 currently piloted in a way within the institutional clients, but to be scaled beyond that. We heard from the European Central Bank that they have launched in November something called TIPS that enables all the banks in the Eurozone to actually transfer instantly at virtually no cost money between them I think that the role of the disruptors and anything that is using distributed ledger technology, whether you call it crypto assets currencies or whatever. And it's far from the bitcoins that we used to talk about a year ago. That is clearly shaking the system

2:33:55 The voice that we heard which was I thought really interesting were those of the regulators and central bank governors who said well yes this is good and this is helpful, and it's changing the business model of commercial banks. But we have to be mindful of two things trust and stability of the system. And we are equally concerned at IMF about stability. We don't want innovation that would shake the system so much that we would lose the stability that is needed. And are regulators doing enough right now to ensure in that stability and as well competition from some of these big tech companies being involved in this space? You know, I think they're mindful of wherever the competition is coming from The central bank governor of Kenya was explaining for us that they gave a banking license to telecom

2:34:44 company. And I think in the future, we have to look at what lots of data collectors and movers are going to do and whether they're going to move into the banking space forcefully in which case they will have to be regulated that will have to be held accountable so that they can be fully trusted There you go, it looks like the lines are being marked Facebook. We're gonna have to regulate you The banks are gonna do complete cashless society and this is a little irritating at this bitcoins thing just those disruptors I think they're a little worried about this especially since the near the Iranian special-purpose vehicle in stacks

2:35:30 that was supposed to enable European countries to trade or to purchase oil from Iran. But Iran's like, yeah this is really great but if you guys don't have any credit behind it if its just some stupid mechanism we're not going to do that! We're not gonna trust you like that so this thing is now off the table they can get up and running because they won't put any money behind it. Well their asking for trouble if they do anything True We do not give stock advice on this show. That's not what we do, but it was interesting that we were talking about Snap about a week ago because we heard some executives in Khan talking about how they thought it was a good competitor to Facebook and Google and Twitter and they're putting money into it well that stock kind of took off interestingly

2:36:25 Yeah. And again... You can read between the lines. Just to show you how valuable our show can be to people who understand information, here's something else that I just thought was interesting this is in southern Utah Alright so this is out right here there's a bag on it This one's out also in Beaver, Utah And this guy is LB, he owns the property. You own it all? So is Tesla telling you to put the bags on here? No! But they haven't paid me rent since November of last year This guy is putting big burlap bags over the superchargers on his property Holy moly They're supposed to be paying me rent for each charging station They have paid me nothing They will not answer my email They won't answer my phone calls

2:37:13 They will do nothing. So therefore nobody's charging on them until they start paying me what they owe me I'm charging on that one over there you get a bag those things up soon, too. I will eventually Okay, all right. What's the supercharger? I'm sorry oh the Supercharger for the Tesla Yeah The chargings is with this guy has all these charging stations on his property and they just don't pay him rent That's odd That's like the one thing you really need to have kind of functioning for people to believe in your idea.
