About this episode

Pacific Gas & Electric implemented widespread public safety power shutoffs across California, leaving thousands in the dark while San Francisco remained fully powered. Governor Gavin Newsom faces scrutiny as critics compare the utility's maneuvers to Enron-era blackouts, suggesting the outages are a political tactic related to the city's interest in purchasing PG&E infrastructure following its bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Cal Fire has issued a directive demanding high leasing fees from amateur radio operators, threatening the vital emergency communication network maintained by ham enthusiasts.

In Washington, the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump intensifies as Secretary of Energy Rick Perry is linked to Ukrainian natural gas deals involving Cheniere Energy. Former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch faces allegations from Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuri Lutsenko regarding a do-not-prosecute list, while CIA analyst Ray McGovern suggests the probe serves as a diversion from John Durham's investigation into the Russia inquiry's origins. Simultaneously, the 2019 Canadian federal election sees Justin Trudeau under fire for past blackface scandals as Andrew Scheer and Maxime Bernier challenge his climate policy and carbon tax initiatives.

Cultural tensions peak as the NBA and Activision Blizzard face backlash for self-censoring to appease the Chinese Communist Party, a move famously parodied by South Park. CBS correspondent Holly Williams interviewed an ISIS captive from Minneapolis who claimed he joined the caliphate because he believed reports of their atrocities were fake news. The program also features a review of the seventy-five dollar BLU X5 smartphone and a warning about the Onlia insurance app's driver surveillance capabilities.

PG&E Power Shutoffs, California Utility Corruption

Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) implemented widespread "Public Safety Power Shutoffs" across California, citing fire risks despite reports of low wind speeds in areas like Mill Valley. The situation is compared to the Enron-era rolling blackouts under Governor Gray Davis, with claims that the current shutoffs may be a political maneuver related to San Francisco's interest in purchasing PG&E equipment following the company's bankruptcy.

pg&e· san francisco· gray davis· gavin newsom· enron· rolling blackouts

01:31 That'll tell you. Explain the situation, Boots on the Ground what are they really saying in the news? What is really happening? We have one of our producers in Mill Valley who wrote me and said hey they cut my power off that winds here 11 miles an hour it's not even anything going on and he claims that the city of San Francisco is about to because PG&E's going into bankruptcy because of the fire situation two years ago. And the city of San Francisco wants to buy out all the equipment from PG&E, which they can't legally do without some sort of a new law being passed and they want to take over their Pacific Gas & Electric business in the city and his idea is that this is gonna be a cascade effect where everybody's just gonna go local

02:24 And I don't know how that's gonna work, but... Well create co-ops. Co-ops? I guess! Somebody has got to be responsible for the electricity itself and the transmission lines and all the other stuff How about the great state of California take care of stuff? Well they can't This is what happened and i will repeat this for anyone who wants to hear it We had a governor here called Gray Davis, a Democrat. When the Democrats were running everything they couldn't get Republicans couldn't get in over a period of time because of some changes and local political way they hand that way the Democrats

03:05 right, right roughshod over the Republicans because the Republican Party in California was just a bunch of lunatic losers. And so they Democrats were winning and winning and they couldn't get them out of there. And then this guy Gray Davis who is the worst governor ever, they re actually recalled the governor And that allowed a special election, which is when Schwarzenegger, a Republican snuck in. But if it wasn't for that he would have never gotten in and Gray Davis was the one who did this as an era Enron having peace of the action right and could trying to pray and everybody's come around trying to privatize all that power You need they go door-to-door saying yeah, Amway is going to be serving your power And it was just it was unbelievable. And so we started having these rolling blackouts Which were really created by enron to create a to get two prices Where does Jerry Brown fit in this wasn't he the governor? Oh

04:02 Gray Davis, okay says pre Jerry Brown or after the first brown came after Schwarzenegger Way before but that was like in the 60s and then he came back as an old man But in the meantime we had this degrade Avis guy And they're rolling black us and this was the news and all the newspapers and everybody local They're doing the same thing with his phony baloney windstorm which there's no wind by the way zero when where I am. Oh And so they, Gray Davis and they started the meme was oh this is your life. This is the way there's a you know just like a racial matter. Get used to it slaves! Get used to it because we don't have too many people and there's not enough power and there's no way we can service everybody So were gonna have rolling blackouts forever and gray outs forever this is it this is your new way of looking at things get use to it

04:54 slaves and it continued for like a couple of years, these stupid rolling blackouts. And for the whole state and everyone put up with it in the newspapers didn't investigate them when they when the Enron scam broke out to turn out there'd be a scam Yeah oh jesus terrible meanwhile they recall great davidson put in schwarzenegger the rolling blackouts ended mysteriously and then when jerry brown got in the rolling blackout stayed down cuz brown is no fool and he kept things on a kind of. From getting got carried away now we got Gavin Newsom and he's letting apparently the PG&E people run roughshod over the public again And everybody is all in on it. This is newspapers I'm looking at today's news about this windstorm, and they say well We had a 65 mile-an-hour gust gust And it was at the top of a mountain oh

05:46 Oh, go figure. It's just that the whole thing is a... it's unbelievable and their news people are just the worst in this area. Alright well, couple things one They are basically bankrupt because of all the claims against them from the Paradise Fire. And when you go after your utility company like that, it's only logical I think that they become overly cautious and don't want to get blamed for anything so on one hand logically i can see where they're coming from not that I don't think they're scammers and because they've had a very troubling history Do people remember Aaron Brockovich?

06:27 Wasn't that a chemical thing? Yeah, from PS&G. And PS&G is what? The Pacific Gas and Electric... the PGE I mean. PGE! The same guys. Was Erin Brogavish had something to do with PG&E? Yes that was that was the company she went after What was the point of it? Well they were- I don't remember being PG, they power a company. Gas hello they were runoff chemicals you know let me look it up Instrumental in building a case against Pacific Gas and Electric Company of California 1993. It was it was against PG&E! Yeah, see you didn't even remember that? No I don't remember that, that's for...that's a fact. Her successful lawsuit is subject of a film which she starred in, yeah I know the film, 20 years ago.

07:25 So this company is, their shit heals and they've always had to do it with asbestos more than anything. It seems like... But it was Pacific Gas & Electric that's the company they went after. Yeah well they were a good douchebag operation but they always have been but The way there-it seems to me if you're doing this as some sort of extortion, extorting in the public I'm not sure what they're up to with this turning the power off on everybody just for no good reason In many cases. In most cases and then the media going along with it, it seems to me that why would they do any of the turning the power off unless there were fires in the area? Then you turn the power off to keep any additional fires from beginning. If there's a lot of wind in one area not... You don't presumptive... You don't do it in advance thinking well maybe. Why'd just turn the power off all the time? You'll never have a problem! Yeah so what you're saying is it sounds more like- And why are worried about getting sued? They're already out of business

08:24 Well, you're the one there. I don't have these answers. I don't know what's going on. To me it seems... I think our friend and producer in Mill Valley may have a clue. There are people who were angry enough to shoot! CHP confirms that about 745 Tuesday evening, a PG&E worker who'd been driving on Interstate 5 in Colusa County notified authorities he heard what he thought was a gunshot I love the up-talking because that's how you want to address the press when you're talking about these things.

09:02 priority. A PG and E spokesperson did not directly address the incident, we recommend that you reach out to local authorities for this ongoing situation shortly after word spread about the shooting investigation, P G and he brought out barricades to funnel people coming in and out of their San Francisco headquarters through security again, a company not saying whether the barricades were added in response to the shooting The safety of our employees is a number one priority as we move forward through this public safety power shutoff and we decided to put barricades up to ensure their safety here at our headquarters. Public Safety Power Shut Off? That's what it is! The Public Safety Power Shut Off?! Sounds more like Pacific Gas & Electric Safety Shut-Off

CHAPTER 03 / 27 Discussion

Cal Fire Repeater Fees, Amateur Radio Restrictions

Cal Fire issued a directive to amateur radio repeater owners demanding high application and leasing fees to remain on state-owned mountain sites, citing technological advances as a reason to end financial support for ham operators. The "No Agenda Hams" (NAMs) are organizing in response to these restrictions, which critics argue undermine a vital public service during emergencies.

cal fire· ham radio· repeaters· nams· verizon· fcc

09:49 But there's more messed up and this was big news amongst the NAMs, that short for No Agenda Hamz. The NAMs. Yeah Cal Fire which coordinates fire in California hey you want some fire we coordinate it sent a nasty gram a demanding letter To all repeater owners, ham radio repeater owners that are up on the mountains and a repeater for those who don't know is so that you can use it's basically what the cops use with fire uses without anybody who has handheld units or mobile units. You want to be able to communicate So there's typically a transmitter upon a hill or some high spot that line of sight almost can be achieved

10:41 so you can all communicate through this one system. And without doubt the ones in California have been used for all kinds of important fire related community service, not for starting them but for looking out and helping people and warning people...and now the T&V manager of Cal Fire has sent the following note to all owners of repeaters and there's a lot of them. And if you take these away, all of sudden that... you know, hams go away essentially I do understand and appreciate all the service you have provided in the past, however with constantly changing technological advances there's no longer the same benefit to state as previously provided. Therefore... The department will no longer financially support ham operator radios or tenancy If desired to enter a formal agreement or operate and maintain said equipment You must complete and submit attached co-location application along with the fee is outlined on page one of the application

11:42 So they're kicking all of these repeaters out. Now, these are just boxes with an antenna and a power requirement that the hams maintain themselves and they didn't have to pay any leasing fees because it would be impossible in fact... It's public service! Not anymore in California. In order to keep their repeaters there The cost associated with getting an agreement in place is as follows. In addition to the technical analysis fee, $2500 per application there's a DGS lease admin cost typically between three thousand and five thousand dollars with the preparation of the lease And of course an annual rent charge based upon the equipment and type space So they've kicked all the repeaters out

12:32 It's not costing him anything extra, but when you read the constantly changing technological advances... I mean what have they baked up that works so incredibly well? Or everyone just uses a cell phone because yeah that'll work when the power is off. It's very disturbing! Not that I think TAMS will actually save the world but it seems like there is enough benefit to just leave this stuff there Yeah, what's wrong with that? I don't know. They're all against it now and the hams are up in arms! Who is behind the shutdown? Cal Fire The California fire coordinator

13:17 We have to look into this. It sounds like something else is going on. Well, you don't do this out of the blue like that I'm thinking they might and at the same time they're having this phony baloney shutdown Yeah At the same time that's happening The hams are getting kicked out well one thing kind of covers up the other I mean the only thing i can really think of is that they sold the co-location space to Verizon or someone like that. It's an actual... Oh yeah, because Verizon has to get rid of these hams because there's such a threat to the cellular mobile system! The hams are putting them out of business any minute If the no agenda hams have anything to do with it yes we had our first prep net

14:08 Last night. Yeah, well no okay never maybe it's because of you the word got out Of your scheme yes to take over the world with hammer a hammer a world with the ham Ham system and amateur radio so they put the kibosh on the whole thing well We're organizing baby. We're organizing we had we had our first Kind of semi meet up last night. Well, how'd it go? We call it the prep net so we had about 30 hams in there not bad for the first time Yeah I just only announced at an hour and a half before you know, like came up with it Oh, let's do this said about thirty hams from all over the country I don't think we had anything. Oh yeah, we had Candinavia in there. I don't think we had any other Any other countries but its working John

15:04 And if there's one thing everybody wants to know, it's when are you gonna get on? As soon as I find my glasses. We have one ham who is in Berkeley No, I do. Yeah, they ever show up at a meetup now he's gonna show up and help you set up your rig That's what he's gonna go good. Okay? That's what she wanted me find it with the recharges for it first And yeah might as well and bring both of them the one in the glove box of your car to bring them both We'll get him all programmed no agenda hams calm so we can find out more information if you're interested

San Francisco Power Disparity, PG&E Political Rift

Reports from Mill Valley indicate power was cut despite calm weather, while the City of San Francisco remained fully powered. This disparity fuels theories that the shutoffs are part of a commercial or political rift between the utility provider and local governments.

mill valley· san francisco· pg&e· east bay· weather models

15:46 Yeah, so nothing more. Well I'm glad you're on the air! Let me read...I just found my glass so i can read this note from our guy Nick over in Mill Valley. Mm-hmm. Hoping guys get a chance to talk about the blackouts tonight. Mill Valley is shut off which is not the place you want it piss off. It's shut off but has a wind forecast of 11 miles an hour something that is not right and they may have found a smoking gun Okay, a few days ago about the San Francisco proposing to buy PG&E their services cooperation. That's what you were saying well that makes sense then this is a political commercial rift therein could be bullcrap Well all I know is there's no windstorm here even though that was shown up by the computer models Mm-hmm and there's not only not a wind storm here But it is the last two days have been some of the calmest

16:43 Days in the in this in the East Bay. There is no wind whatsoever So here's what doesn't make sense because they have shut off power correct? They've shut off power Yeah, you know most of the area shut off how come you're not shut off I'm in a since I'm on pretty much on the coast and then under coasts of the bay and now the ocean coast my mother Like I can see like I could if I had a good arm well, I'd have to have a really good arm but If I had a gun, I could shoot... You have a gun. You have multiple guns! But i'm not gonna start shooting out the window. The-I could shoot a bullet and hit the bay pretty easily Could you toss a dwarf to the bay? That's the real question Nooo, I don't think I can. Not that good but uh..you mean like Jerry Nadler? Yeah yeah oops John stop doing that

17:36 Right, okay. Well if the city of San Francisco wanted to buy it which makes no sense then this would be some kind of political action and... Well then again why don't they shut down? San Francisco was lit the whole time! They never shut them down yeah in the whole county in City of San Francisco I mean I'm in Texas you're asking me questions I have no idea what to do with What just hold your fist in the air and shake it. I'm angry, California way. I'm angry dammit! All right well then the second most important news of the past four days... It looks like we're coming awful close to The Swoop as predicted for the past three years by my co-host John C. Dvorek Long shot master

Hillary Clinton PBS Interview, Trump Rematch Comments

Hillary Clinton appeared on PBS NewsHour with her daughter Chelsea to promote their book, where she criticized President Trump's foreign policy regarding the Kurds and Turkey. In response to a Trump tweet suggesting she enter the 2020 race, Clinton stated she could beat him again in a rematch, leading to speculation about her potential candidacy.

hillary clinton· chelsea clinton· pbs newshour· donald trump· elizabeth warren

18:34 Well, I'm letting you take this. Okay well i have a few clips Yeah, I figured you would. I mean it's bad enough to hear. The main clip I have from...Hiller has been showing up everywhere of course the promoter book she always has her daughter with her and her daughter just sits next door and nods yeah I've not heard Chelsea say jack about anything ever She sits next to mom and she smiles. I've heard her talk she speaks at the very end of the interview like well, yes Just add some some flavor to whatever yeah moms great That's pretty much it moms great like they wrote this book to start with as if please Yeah You know that didn't happen so she shows up on PBS on the news hour and with

19:23 Judy. Yeah, it doesn't look he's looking bad but and so they do a bunch of these have to talk about one thing or another and So we have let's listen to this clip This is H Clinton on PBS 1 in there she go here She starts you've both been through impeachment in your own family President Clinton how was this time different from what? President Clinton with this is a much more serious set of charges than anything that was ever put forward against Bill. And I think the American people got that this is a very different time and as a former Secretary of State, I just want Americans to stop and think why are we allowing this president to in effect undermine our sovereignty?

20:11 Turning over foreign policy to foreign governments what he just did with the Kurds empowering Turkey and Russia against our staunchest allies in the Middle East. I want to get into Turkey later on but let's just stick with Hillary for now. Our staunchest ally in the Middle East is who? Who, yeah I'm gonna ask you Israel! Yeah that's our staunchest ally And then who would follow that I would say Saudi Arabia. And then of course Lebanon, not Lebanon but Jordan for sure and there's a lot of them the Kurds... But no don't go to the Kurds! Don't go to the Kurds stick with Hillary

20:51 Otherwise, we'll go into the whole Kurds thing. Well she's the one who mentioned the Kurds that's what she's saying here there are staunchest ally She says that although nobody else agrees necessarily although the news media is playing it this way The Turks are going they're not going in there to shut down Syria or sealed the place or grab all those prisoners That were up in which reminds me of this one clip you have to look it up Holly Williams goes and visits this Syrian prison where all these ISIS guys are and it's, oh I have it on here we'll play later. Anyway so this is Clinton going on about this Is that the end of that clip? Yeah

21:29 Okay, play the second part. Now the second part is the part everybody got all whoa Dvorak you may be right This is a good one though as all this is going on President Trump continues to come after you In his speeches and his tweets You've been tough on him as well I think you called him recently a corrupt human tornado Well he's come back at you several times in fact He tweeted just this morning And I'm gonna quote he said Crooked Hillary Clinton should try to enter the race to try and steal it away from uber left Elizabeth Warren. Only one condition, the crooked one must explain all of her high crimes and misdemeanors including how and why." She deleted 33 thousand emails. Yeah you know it truly is remarkable how obsessed he remains with me but

22:20 But this latest tweet is so typical of him. Nothing has been more examined and looked at than my emails, we all know that. So he's either lying or delusional or both there was no subpoena as he says in a tweet this morning. And so maybe there does need to be a rematch I mean obviously i can beat him again but Beautiful. That, it was that that just made me tingle. Obviously I could beat him again at a rematch. She actually she you know she did reply to that tweet from Trump I don't have you have yes well it's not a clip but yeah you can read from the tweet she replied replied so again as i think had crooked Hillary Clinton should enter the race and she replied don't tempt me do your job. Oh, yeah! I just see that. Yes! Don't tempt me Now this is being played as a joke and that she's just trolling Trump this is what I'm hearing

23:18 from, uh. Well you can say that people can think that I think it's a possibility. It means there does exist as a possibility but let's go over a couple of things here that still crack me up over the years There's only been a few things that just make your shake your besides to some of the global warming great rising sea levels is one of them But the one that gets me is this is the fact that the left continues to propagate their Trump memes and unknowingly, because why would you read a tweet that keeps calling her Crooked Hillary and then use Crooked Hillary? They can excerpt out of that. She doesn't have to say Crooked Hillary she just she can start the thing by doing an excerpt from the tweet saying Hillary blah blah blah but he shouldn't say Crooked Hillary but she does they'll say Crooked Hillary

24:10 Anyway, it amuses me to no end. That's pretty much the only Hillary stuff I have. Yeah except for the incessant discussing of it by everybody. Oh yeah, everybody is talking about it. She's gonna come back and... Well again she's gonna wait for the... The theory is that the way the map was designed It's going to be in October, which is this month. But it has to be after the next series of debates she has to see I mean Biden is failing because of what Trump has done to him

FBI Television Show, Kamala Harris Archetype

The Dick Wolf television series "FBI" featured a storyline involving a progressive female District Attorney from New York running for president, which the hosts identify as a clear archetype for Kamala Harris. The segment highlights a scene where a character accuses the prosecutor of building a career by wrongfully convicting innocent black men.

dick wolf· fbi· kamala harris· brooklyn da· police procedural

24:46 and Warren is just hopeless. And Kamala is being taken out by even the elites, the example of that- I have not heard anything from her recently Well you're not going to hear much and so we have a last Tuesday's FBI Dick Wolf So we have a story about...and I've got three clips for this A story about a DA running for president. This was written, obviously... Wait so this is fictional FBI? Which TV show is this? FBI! Okay so it's you not everybody watches this drivel

25:32 Nobody watches. Well, that's actually not true They got ratings people are watching it's just they got ratings But so they have and there always a lot of political stuff in there but Dick Wolf is kind of I don't think he's not really A knee-jerk liberal in Hollywood So he plays at both seat plays a pretty neutral game but in this case they have this district attorney who was clearly Even though she's white kind of a redhead white girl She's clearly modeled after Kamala Harris running for president and the leading candidate, which is always a possibility for Kamala but she's not anymore. But these are produced in advance of the... Written and produced way in advance of current events probably a month maybe longer. And so I think that's what we're seeing

26:17 The one FBI girl officer, call her that. Female who always looks like she's about to break into tears all the time which is extremely annoying to watch and she's a big fan of this woman And so here, we're going to play the two of them. There was a bomb attack that blew up a car that the woman was supposed to be in and she lived through it and everything's fine but now the story begins So we got FBI setup story Caldwell won It should be said although I'm sure everyone is aware Caldwell is not just a congresswoman anymore But according to the most recent polls She is the frontrunner to become the next president of the United States White House press secretary is on the line She wants an update POTUS wants to put out a statement ASAP

27:03 Holy shit, this is the worst acting I've ever heard in my life. When you don't see the video? Who talks like this in real- I gotta go back to the beginning of this guy. This is horrible! First of all, you've heard at least as bad. Because every time we used to do these clips a lot about four or five years ago from these shows and that's when we first know it, you mainly first noticed that the acting when just listening to the audio is so bad! So bad! But this is not the worst, its just bad. Okay, let me tell ya, this how we do orders at the FBI?

28:05 prosecutor in the Brooklyn DA's office. She is currently in her third term as representative of the 4th district so was this attack about her past, or home life? Or was it indeed about our politics who are Caldwell enemies? Extreme right political groups militia organizations we'll check them out then let's look at online chatter see if anyone's boasting about this hey man check it I can't get over it let's check it out online forums any chatter anyway KKK Nazi Karun that they're talking about it on noagendasocial.com. Let's dig into Caldwells social media accounts or texts or emails to identify the digital hater. Yeah, cause that's real easy we can just spy on Americans no problem! We can get into your emails without a warrant that's not a problem this is what he's saying. Social media accounts or texts or e-mails to identify the digital haters and harassers expect a long and vociferous list

28:54 She is not just a politician, she's a progressive female lefty from New York. To be clear if this was about her political ambitions... Then this was an attack on the United States and on our democracy itself damage Wow, this is the worst How do you sit through these shows? I have I Have respect see spray helps. Oh so So now now the woman agent that I have to try that FBI. This show's pretty good! Wow So the woman agent is now walking with her partner who's a Palestinian or an Arab, I can't remember Of course of course Is there a gay guy in there? Do we need some gay guys in this scene? We have to establish gay on this show

29:47 Anyway, this guy they're walking along and here she is. She's very upset and they're going back and forth to show us that the female FBI woman is all in on this candidate which is a double kind of a double message here it's like the Lisa Page thing seems to me but let's listen to this dialogue This is the femme agent You okay? Yeah fine It's about Caldwell isn't I saw her campaign button on your desk last week I'm a fan big fan I just can't believe somebody tried to kill her. Well, actually I can sadly which is why i'm pissed you know Just when this country Is about to move forward and make progress something like this happens People are scared of forward and progressive ideas especially when they're coming out of the mouth of an intelligent charismatic woman With a legitimate chance to become impressive You sound like a Caldwell fan too No

30:39 Not really not into politics or politicians. You know they just say stuff people want to hear yeah, but Valerie is different She genuinely wants this country to be better for everyone And we'll see I'm telling you away Valerie Caldwell is different if you say so this country don't Don't say our country, say this country. Oh good catch! Good catch! That would be the way the dialogue was written because you know they're leftie so they did they do make a woman prove that she's a douchebag over time and she was arresting a lot of innocent black kids and hiding evidence

31:15 It turned the female agent against her at the end, and it has been resolved well enough even though it still looks like she's gonna be the next president. But there was a moment where they thought that this black girl who is running an online forum threatening her and doing all sorts of... Who runs a forum anymore? That's so outdated. Yeah, I'm running... She was online pestering the woman and doing all those things and nobody thought much of that after they found out she had nothing to do with the bombing What i'm saying is in no dialogue in 2019 should anyone be running a forum You're on Reddit Why on earth that term was used unless they said it

31:57 But what was funny though, the black girl they bring her in to do interrogation and she reads the riot act of these two agents. Two FBI agents and I thought it was pretty gutsy the way Wolf had him do this attack by her on the white woman in particular. Yeah, I just thought it was a funny back-and-forth even though again you're gonna find the acting to be mediocre although I'd say Female actress is probably one of the she was very convincing in this particular little scene. I was at the garage, but i wasn't looking to kill her. I just wanted to get on video ambusher get it and say something stupid so could post it on my YouTube channel. So you took a job handing out two year olds just to confront cold well sure did why what we're going to confront about? My brother Wayne Simmons

32:50 She had him locked up for 10 years for a crime he didn't commit. She was the prosecutor in Wayne's trial, made up all kinds of stories and theories just to get her conviction. Now that she is running for president I gotta let the world know how evil that woman really is." Evil? Senator Caldwell. Damn right! Sasha, I know it hurts to see your brother convicted of a violent crime. But it's up to the jury to convict That's 12 unbiased people who believe that Wayne was guilty You were campaign manager or something? Okay, I'm just reminding you... ...that Caldwell was just the prosecutor All she did was present evidence It was the decision of the jury to convict Wayne Yeah Based on Caldwell lies That bitch made her whole career maxing out innocent black men

33:40 But now that she's running for president, she suddenly all woke and compassionate. Trying to act like she Martin Luther King Jr or something And all you suck-ass white people lap it up and worship the ground she walks on Damn! Wow I am going to give you a clip of the day for that That is fantastic Oh man assassination by FBI...by fake FBI That's really good.

Bernie Sanders Health, Big Pharma Criticism

Bernie Sanders suffered a heart attack shortly after publicly criticizing the pharmaceutical industry's advertising presence during primary debates. The timing of his health scare and the recent death of his daughter-in-law are noted as significant setbacks for his 2020 presidential campaign.

bernie sanders· big pharma· heart attack· 2020 election

34:38 Bernie goes after the inevitable advertising of Big Pharma on the debates and excoriates them for that. And boom! Heart attack, I'm just saying. And now there's the death of his son-in-law? Whoever it is... Oh, I don't know. They're killing everybody now. Yeah they're taking him out. Bernie you want to keep this up this what's gonna happen. Jeez let's see Oh, daughter-in-law dead just 46 days after cancer diagnosis. Oh my goodness! So hmm... I don't know how to parse that one. Well she got a cancer diagnosis then dropped dead the next day. I mean this was crazy uh i don't know i mean it just seems pretty pretty coincidental yeah

35:27 Especially after the heart attack first. It was just a Stance and then said that didn't do enough that wasn't good enough let's make it a heart attack And by the way, I'm not big farmer is what happened yeah? I'm not laughing about the actual heart attack because That's not fun. Oh and I fit man Bernie still Even after the heart attack, I'll have more energy than Biden. Yeah but this is not what you're supposed to do after... Oh i'm cutting back my appearances from four-a day to two today! Whoa dude go home it's over he's done yeah people won't elect him because they're worried about him Tulsi Gabbard has her own strategy for the upcoming debate. I want to thank all of you so much for your support. I need to share something with you that's very important

Tulsi Gabbard DNC Boycott, Debate Rigging Claims

Representative Tulsi Gabbard released a video message threatening to boycott the October 15th Democratic debate, accusing the DNC and corporate media of rigging the election process. She argued that the debate format serves as commercialized reality television rather than a platform for informing voters in early states like Iowa and New Hampshire.

tulsi gabbard· dnc· corporate media· 2020 debates· aloha

36:21 There are so many of you who I've had the opportunity to meet in Iowa and New Hampshire, who have expressed to me how frustrated you are that the DNC and the corporate media are essentially trying to usurp your role as voters in choosing who our Democratic nominee will be. I share your concerns, and I'm sure that all of our supporters throughout the country do as well." The 2016 Democratic primary election was rigged by the DNC and their partners in the corporate media against Bernie Sanders. In this 2020 election, the DNC and the corporate media are rigging the election again but this time it's against the American people in the early voting states of

37:00 Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. They're attempting to replace the roles of voters in the early states using polling and other arbitrary methods which are not transparent or democratic. And they're holding so-called debates which really are not debates at all but rather commercialized reality television meant to entertain rather than to inform or enlighten So in short, the DNC and the corporate media are trying to hijack the entire election process. So in order to bring attention to this serious threat to our democracy and to ensure that your voice is heard I'm seriously considering boycotting the next debate on October 15th. I'm going to announce my decision within the next few days but I just want to say with my deepest and warmest aloha thank you all again for your support

37:52 She's threatening to not appear at the debate as part of the strategy. Well, this next debate is funny because they've changed. They kept kind of the same rules but they ended up instead of having 10 people debating you're going to have 12 How is that gonna improve things? You'd think they would be cutting down, cutting down, cutting down. But no! They're putting more people on stage which obfuscates the whole thing. Well thats because the billionaire he bought a pole I guess and... Yeah Steyer. Yeah someone else... Oh Steyer who's a fool but

Elizabeth Warren Gun Control, Constitutional Scrutiny

Elizabeth Warren participated in an MSNBC gun safety forum where she advocated for federal limits on firearm purchases to prevent "bulking up" during crises. She asserted that such restrictions would survive constitutional scrutiny, a claim the hosts dispute by noting that talk of bans often leads to increased sales of firearms like the AR-15.

elizabeth warren· msnbc· gun safety· ar-15· second amendment

38:27 Okay, well he's a coal guy. I mean no one takes him seriously in the Democrat party they don't like him you can't be a democrat and have made billions in coal Well he also has the world smallest mouth Have you noticed this? No but I will pay attention Is it like a little pucker mouth Yeah, a little bit. Meanwhile of course they have their own Bernie in Canada and we're headed to the Canadian... Whoa whoa whoa! Too far too fast we got a lot more to talk about you just you're riding roughshod on me Dvorak What more do we have?

39:12 Never mind, I guess it's not that important. No come on! You had something... Well now you've already taken my head to Canada. Let's go to Canada. All I had was Elizabeth Warren being an idiot Oh no, I heard part of that clip in the pre-show play that clip and then we'll go to Canada Okay this is she was at the MSNBC gun safety forum And this is the reason why she will never be president. The first question that I asked you about limiting guns... So one of the things that helps accomplish, at least as best we can understand the data is that it keeps people from bulking up in the middle of a crisis and serves as a flag if someone

39:59 Look at some of these folks who've gone out and bought a whole lot of guns at once. I'd kind of like to know about that, and say there's actually going to be a federal limit on this? Is it gonna solve the problem all by itself? No! Does it survive constitutional scrutiny Yeah. Can you limit a gun? There you go, no question! It survives constitutional review. Oh yeah. Sure it does. Hey your bulking up with your guns what's wrong with you we should know that put you on the list I want to know who these people are i know one of them who are bulking up yeah bulked-up

40:40 It was a ban. A lot of people bulked up when they said they're going to ban the AR-15. Yeah, they bulked up on them. Of course! They bought a bunch of them because it's like one of the best collectors items. One of the great products ever. Yes Okay, so Canada has its election coming up on the 21st of October. Yes And they have a 45-day not a two year like we do They have a 45 day campaign window where they're campaigning and they have these debates Is that is that a legal window? That you're not allowed to campaign? It's just a gentleman's agreement I don't think it's anything illegal about it Well there's no wonder their media is not making any money over there

Canadian Federal Election, Trudeau Blackface Scandal

The 2019 Canadian federal election campaign features intense debates over climate change, the carbon tax, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's past use of blackface. Conservative leader Andrew Scheer and People's Party leader Maxime Bernier attacked Trudeau's credibility, while NDP leader Jagmeet Singh positioned himself as a socialist alternative to the established parties.

justin trudeau· andrew scheer· maxime bernier· jagmeet singh· carbon tax

41:24 They're not abusing the situation, are they nuts? I mean thank God for this idiotic system. It gives us all kinds of stuff to talk about. Well not as you mentioned it yeah. The media is just not up to par and mostly if you think about it or read the Canadian media and I do, Globe & Mail mainly but also West Coast, Vancouver Sun and Vancouver I think is the province is the other one. But anyway they're just parroting whatever and The National. They parrot The New York Times! And they're all super Trump haters it's like why you guys don't even know what you talking about?

42:05 And I'm reminded of the European media is the same way. They just whatever The New York Times says goes, it's unbelievable So they had these debates the other night and...and the Bernie I'm talking about is this guy Bernier Oh yes Maxime Bernier he's the...who was out there supporting him? Michelle, Michelle Malkin I think was... Oh that would make sense. Well if you listen to his openings so they have the openings i got some openings here that are interesting but Bernier is kind of the best and they go from Bernier then they go to this guy who's just the opposite this guy Singh. Oh he's the guy with the turban? I believe it's either Pakistani or he's a Sikh yeah could be Indian yeah but whatever he is he's Canadian

42:54 now and he sounds like Canadian but he's a super socialist. He's like a socialist, and Bernier is like a He's like a no agenda guy. In other words, he is accused of being a bigot. No chance! It's between Scheer and Trudeau as the two guys but let's listen to Bernier opening and then it is followed by Singh. Mr Bernier your opportunity to respond thank you We are the People's Party and we put Canada first. The other leaders on this stage are globalists, they spend your money to buy a seat at the UN Security Council

43:39 and also they are giving your money to other countries to fight climate change in Asia, and build roads in Africa. The UN is a dysfunctional organization and we must be able to fight for our country. Actually, we are the only party that will have foreign policies that is based on our security and prosperity for our country Mr. Vernier, thank you the next opportunity for Mr. Singh to respond. Thank You very much Lisa. Thank you very much Regan after your question It's I know it's tough to ask questions in front of a big crowd So thanks for doing that and thanks to Canada for joining and taking part in this discussion To me leadership is about who you're fighting for are the choices you make

44:23 and whether you're doing what's right for people. And whether it comes to international affairs, standing up to Trump making sure we fight to build a better trade agreement that actually put Canadians first For me the question really comes down to do you have the courage to stand up to the powerful and wealthy interests? The corporations that are having too much influence over Canada And I've seen so far in Ottawa, whether it's Liberal or Conservative governments they haven't had the courage to stand up and fight for people. We're different we're in it for you! I don't work for the rich and powerful...I work for people Yeah, okay. I'm all in vote for him he's gonna go after Trump! I mean i don't know what that has to do with Canada... Screw Trump it is Trumps fault somehow gets Trump into the Canadian involved in Canada Well I think he's drawing the obvious comparison between Bernier and Trump who's talking about globalists so I'm sure there's part of that yeah well He's not really running against Bernier he's running against Trudeau They're all running against Trudeau but he was on stage with them

45:22 So let's go with the, this is they have more of an open debate here and here's where Bernier and Singh actually yell at each other because now they actually get to do this a little bit with this Canadian style. Oh good so let's hear this. Mr Bernier your opportunity to respond thank you we are The People's Party wait is that right? That's wrong one I'm sorry This is Bernier versus Singh I got it. You must tell the truth to Canadians if you want to be the leader of this country. And what I'm saying about extreme multiculturalism, it is not the way to build this country. Yes, this country is a diverse country and we must be proud of that but we don't need legislation

46:04 like the multiculturalism act to tell us who we are. We are a diverse country and we're proud of that What I'm saying, because it's in line with immigration... ...I am saying that we must have fewer immigrants in this country to be sure for these people to participate in our society So it is a great country but its time to have discussion about immigration We don't want our country to be like other countries in Europe where they have huge difficulties to integrate their immigrants and I'm a proud Canadian, and that's why i love this country. And I am the only leader on this stage who wants to have a discussion about the level of immigration." So we're definitely going to have a lively debate tonight because now it is Mr Singh's opportunity to debate Mr Bernier on that very... She sounds so excited! Oh my god now we're gonna have something, have some fireworks because yeah the immigrant guy is gonna go he's gonna rip you

46:58 Question the temperament required for a good leader. I mean, Mr Bernie after hearing what was just said you could have just said hey man I messed up because those are pretty horrible tweets that you made and really for me I mean should come as no surprise to you I believe a leader is not someone who tries to divide people or to pit people against each other A true leader is someone who tries to find bridges bringing people together That's what a leader does and the leader works with the people who need help Not helping those at the very top which we've seen with governments in Ottawa for far too long They've been working to make life easier for the multi billionaires. They get massive corporate tax cuts billions of dollars go towards them We see offshore tax havens continue This is not the way to build a country you wait to build the future Socialist policies

47:46 It will hurt everybody. It's not the way to build wealth and growth in this country, you must believe in people! You must give back their money in your own pockets. That's the Canadian version of a fight... A spat! As an additional point of information Point of information, point of personal privilege. Bernier was talking about the UN and about how the globalists will take your money and they put it into the UN. The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres just came out with a warning that they may not make payroll in November! He says this month we've reached the deepest deficit of the decade We risk entering November without enough cash to cover payroll

48:40 How does that even work? They have a three billion dollar budget. Wow, I didn't know this! Yeah, I just read it just came out today and I guess some countries are in arrears of their contributions. Let the USA pick up the tab. Well thats what happened Trump went nah we're not gonna pay on time we'll just wait a little bit were always picking up the slack for you douchebags and now they can't make payroll he says He said he told the 193 member UN General Assembly's Budget Committee that if he had not worked since January to cut spending then we would not have had the liquidity to support the annual gathering of the world leaders last month, which I guess they blew the budget on. Anyway just an additional little piece of data you might not pick up everywhere. You won't pick it up anywhere unless you can blame Trump

49:39 All right, so we have I'm gonna play one more. I should have played the background or first which was from Al Jazeera I thought it was pretty good background and I think it's all anyone really needs to hear but I do want to play specifically Shears open Because it's in the background or part of it But if you hear it in context It's actually pretty good by the way everybody had 45 seconds to give this opening with a clock on screen very nice And the clock was on the screen and they are actually true dough is that the best at I don't have this boring but he nails it 0s last word boom. Everybody within time and nobody went overboard with their time and it was actually

50:21 refreshing that everyone stayed within their, they didn't yammer on and on and on. So here's a sheer with his opening statement. Here your opportunity to respond? Well thank you very much of course I will always stand up for Canada and Canadians interests in promote free trade and defend our interests all around the world but Justin Trudeau only pretends to stand up for Canada. You know, he's very good at pretending things He can't even remember how many times he put blackface on because the fact of the matter is he's always wearing a mask He puts on a reconciliation mask and then fires the Attorney General The first one of indigenous background he puts on a feminist mask and then fires two strong female MPs

51:03 for not going along with his corruption. He puts on a middle-class mask and then raises taxes on middle class Canadians Mr Trudeau, you are a phony and you're fraud and you do not deserve to govern this country Yeah, that was the clip I had to yeah he did under 40 it's 42 seconds. Yeah 42 so let's listen to the overall and this will be the last of it This is the backgrounder which summarizes The whole debates and what's going on? And who may win and where how the liberals are gonna end up and this I could only find a good example This is little longer than I liked but it was pretty concise and it was on Al Jazeera

51:42 In a battle for his political life, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau absorbed withering attacks from both sides. Justin Trudeau only pretends to stand up for Canada. You know he's very good at pretending things He can't even remember how many times he put blackface on... in the only English language debate in Canada's brief 40-day campaign again and again Trudeau took fire first from the right Mr. Trudeau, you are a phony and you are fraud and you do not deserve to govern this country." And then from the left... The problem is that you said all of these things in 2015 so what's it going to take now for Canadians to believe that your actually gonna follow through on your promises? What's is gonna take for you to follow through on these commitments because your words aren't good enough anymore. It's not good enough to have better rhetoric than Mr. Scheer You bought a pipeline

52:31 You can't be a climate leader and spend 10 to 13 billion dollars more on a project that by itself blows through our carbon budget. It was reminiscent of Trudeau's charismatic debut on the political scene in his celebrity boxing match As in that fight, he struck back. First to the People's Party candidate who was accused of tweeting bigotry... Your role on this stage tonight seems to be to say publicly what Mr Scheer thinks privately And then directly to his closest rival, Conservative party leader Andrew Scheer who arrived to mock and chants of USA

53:08 That is a reference to his recently revealed dual Canadian and US citizenship. And your plan is to rip up the only serious plan to fight climate change that Canada has ever had. Canadians know how important this is. Scheer has vowed to eliminate Trudeau's carbon tax, which he calls too expensive Polls give only Trudeau and Scheer a realistic chance of winning a mandate in the October 21st election, but the other candidates could become kingmakers. Analysts expect the Liberal Party to lose seats – possibly even its majority – and that would leave each side scrambling to form a coalition with enough votes to control Parliament and the Prime Ministership

53:48 In the end, political analysts say the campaign is a referendum on Trudeau's tenure. The question is do we want to continue for next years with Trudeau or is it that bad that we want to change and go back to the previous government? No I did not! With a contentious field vying for position just two weeks from election day, none of the contenders seem to want to leave a crossword unspoken. John Hendren, Al Jazeera, Gatineau Quebec. I'm kind of sad that this is the only English language debate and after that it's all downhill Well i mean I can understand conversational French but clips won't really work on this show Not to say least

54:35 So a lot of climate change stuff there, which is big because of the carbon credit tax. Yeah, they have a carbon tax that's in play and everyone is all irked about it because it's too much. And they have all these systems to give back to you somehow. It's just part of the giant carbon tax scam and doesn't do anything about climate change. Trudeau got embarrassed by the Green Party woman who was condemning him for... They had a pipeline that pretty much needed to be finished and repaired and finished and I guess it costs $16 billion, but as part of the whole economy of Canada's relying on oil. And so you can kind of fake it that oh yeah, I'm all for climate change and I hate oil but you can't really do anything about it unless you want to put everyone in the poorhouse? So she's calling him out on that which I think was unfair. It's just a mess.

55:37 What are they... I don't think, like they said. I don't think that either party is going to get a majority and they're gonna have to do some sort of deal. And Bernier may actually be the guy that has something to do with... Bernier is the only guy who makes logical sense but they call him a bigot because he's against open borders! If you're against open borders then you're a bigot So what are they going to... when they do climate protests Is it all in French now? I mean, it's...I thought English was still pretty predominant but I didn't realize that most of the debates are going to be in French and so you know. No most of the debate...no! There..I think they have like two debates or one...they had one...the number of debates is minor They had this was the first debate that actually had all the candidates and I think it's the last. Ah! They only got 40 days Hey hey hoho le changement climat doit aller

Extinction Rebellion Netherlands, Climate Protest Chants

The Dutch chapter of Extinction Rebellion held protests in Amsterdam featuring English-language chants about rising oceans and the lack of a "Planet B." The hosts criticize the musical quality of the protest songs, describing them as depressing dirges that fail to inspire action.

56:34 See, it doesn't work. You just can't do good chance in French The Dutch are doing climate chance in English They've got a new one. Well, English chants are good it's mostly targeting Trump because he's the only one who... No no no not no no no no The Dutch rebellion extinction chapter of the Netherlands is out protesting everyone's protesting in Holland now everybody! The farmers, the extinction of course that the farmers known as the... Why? What's the point at the farm what's the point of protesting if you're gonna be extinct Well, but it makes no sense But it's all English so that the farmers with you cannot get more Dutch than Dutch farmers the Dutch people in the In Amsterdam in the big cities can't even understand what what they're saying when they speak. The dialect is so foreign but yet the the Dutch on the tractors call themselves the farmer defense force in English and

57:30 It's very interesting. That because it potentially is the only way you're going to get covered by The New York Times, which means it's the only way the Dutch press will pick it up! So here's a chant from the Dutch chapter of Rebellion Extinction that repeated three times and if you can't hear I'll help you along. There's no planet happy in the range of all its men. So they're singing, there's no planet B. So raise your voice with me! The oceans are rising and so are we! Who wrote this jingle? Was it Joan Baez?!

58:32 Biggest fail ever! How? I mean, the tune is a minor. You don't want that you want to rile people up. You're not going to go, It's depressing It's no good is what it is. Just no good. I was flabbergasted that they did that. That's like a dirge A dirge? Yeah, a dirge. The song you sing at a funeral Well they are the Extinction Rebellion so they are kind of presiding over their own over their own funeral but I'm surprised that you didn't mention what San Francisco Airport SFO what they're doing with your money up there I didn't know what they're planning What is it? You got something...you know something i don't know Yes because of climate change

SFO Sea Wall, Candlestick Park Construction History

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) announced a $587 million plan to build a 10-mile wall to protect against rising bay waters attributed to climate change. This project is compared to historical construction practices in the Bay Area, including the controversial building and subsequent illegal burning of wooden forms at Candlestick Park.

sfo· sea wall· candlestick park· air pollution· construction scams

59:29 SFO plans to surround the airport with a 10-mile wall to protect against the rising Bay waters. What rising bay waters? I knew that would get you! Let me see where this come from... who wrote this thing East Bay Times there you go don't you subscribe to East Bay times? East Bay Times 587 million dollar plan aimed at reducing flood risk as climate warms This is such a scam. Well, that is what we have a lot of contracting scams in California as one of the main ways that money is distributed corruptly.

1:00:07 They build things you don't need to be built. There's a lousy job of pavement, they don't do a good job with their pavements there's potholes everywhere and it's just a lot of money flying around so that sounds like about piece of it and that area in particular there was one of the more corrupt things in fact a large part of the air pollution district when I was an air pollution inspector this is the tail this is one of those tales that you tell you as a newbie. We could give people tickets and they could be held accountable, it'd be a misdemeanor that he could go to the courts there's all kinds of legal problems you have if you got fined or cited that didn't exist before an event took place after the construction by

1:00:56 a mob of Candlestick Park. Which was put on, Candlestick Park was put in this windiest area in the entire Bay Area so it made nothing but fun. Great idea to put this park there and this windswept little zone for football and baseball. But they built there because it was cheap and they profited from it but it had all cement and so they had all these cement forms, these you know there's just the structure that wooden structure that held the cement to hold the thing up. It was like I don't know it was like a couple forests full of wood and they couldn't get anyone to take this scraps it had to pay yeah we're not gonna pay so they torched it off

1:01:39 They torched off the whole thing and just made this huge bonfire, which was an illegal burn in the Bay Area. And it was this monster fire and they burned this thing but air pollution is really couldn't didn't have any teeth that but because of that fire they went to the state and they got these new laws passed. So thank you for that but it still was a classic example of the way things operate around here let's just burn it This just in, apparently there are rumors of an explosive sex scandal percolating the highest echelons of Candanavia's media establishment surrounding current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. And Trudeau's accuser is said to be a former student at West Point Grey Academy and the daughter of a wealthy Canadian businessman. So the headline—this is

He's rumored to be in talks with his accuser to suppress this explosive sex scandal They've learned some things from us yeah, at least they're doing that are good Well with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the sea In the Canda Navy and elections John see Devorak Well in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry, also in the morning all the ships of sea boots on the ground feet in there subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there And I'll add all the NAMs, no agenda hams who are out there and organizing The NAMs it's just NAMS Just keep it at NAMS Also in the morning to the trolls we got NAMS We got trolls

1:03:29 Are in the troll room and that's where they hang out and you can join them haven't you always wondered what it's like to be? To live under a bridge in squalor then go to know agenda stream calm. That's where the Trolls live, and they're doing their job 24 hours a day There's always somebody in the chatroom It's paired with no agenda stream hence know agenda stream comm And there's tons of life shows as but also shows that are Pre-pre produce but people still like to sit in there and comment on them I got a comment last night on the the prep net that Jen Briney. I think the quote was good To see Jen brinies got her sanity back, so I haven't listened recently have you? No, I Backed up right well So apparently something good happened there But she's also on the stream we've got tons of good stuff no agenda stream calm and

1:04:23 And we always like to thank the artists who create the artwork, our album artwork which changes with every episode unless you have installed the new iOS 13 software from Apple that has and it's confirmed I've confirmed with Apple that is broken.

And you know with Apple they typically they don't do rolling updates and releases really, you know They just kind of like I will fix it in the next release and you know 13 point three or whatever and I think it's a big mistake particularly when it comes to podcasting because the alternatives to what their app are quite plentiful and good

1:05:13 I think it's...I've never really understood that. Why if you have something, I find that to be a critical error and it seems like it shouldn't be too hard to fix So a lot of people are still stuck on artwork from four episodes ago but you can always find all the artwork including the piece we choose at noagendaartgenerator.com And we want to thank Comicstripblogger! Very simple The simplicity of the pink yacht in London did it for us There wasn't a lot to choose from yeah, I'm going back and taking a look there was a lot of nothing burger fun.

Executive Producer Donations, Climate Science Skepticism

A donor entering a three-year meteorology program describes how textbooks present human-caused climate change as an absolute fact while using hedging language like "high confidence" to cover failed projections. The segment includes the knighting of "Sir Jellyhead" and various "Jobs Karma" requests from the show's executive producers.

ipcc· meteorology· sir jellyhead· anonymous· jobs karma

1:07:36 Well, we don't have the art shop but we do have anonymous for starters. Okay $333 and 34 so I didn't have any big donations this week 333, 34 and he's got some jingle requests there. China is a asshole that's true and no karma not sure if I need to get back what i have been putting in recently just began at three-year meteorology program it and finish the chapter on climate climate and climate change. This was loaded with the highly likely, virtually certain medium confidence et cetera language basically stating everything as fact but still leaving a sliver of it out so that they are covered when the climate does what it does and blows their projections up in due time. And people don't realize that although we read it verbatim every time there's a new IPCC report

1:08:34 They never say this is going to happen. They say we have high confidence medium confidence High likelihood virtually certain they never there too chicken shit scientific people yeah, thank you That's not an actual scientific conclusion that is a consensus which is different Yeah, this is like what you'd have. This is you might as well just go to the betting place in New England It's kind of how we choose track it's how we choose the album art You know We argue a little bit and say I have high confidence that this will make people laugh And you'll say something else and then we come to a very likely scenario, and that's the one

1:09:14 He continues i was in trouble when the very first line of the beginning of a chapter of the textbook read quote have you ever wondered how we know that human activity is changing global climate. Luckily, I am old and have developed independent thought. But I do not know how a 20-year old student can make it out of the program like this without a skewed view." By the way every other chapter so far incorporating global warming climate change associated to just associates with just about everything it even includes a convenient script as to why climate change is a better term to use than global warming

1:09:58 Please accept this donation at 33334, secondarily to support the best podcast in universe but primarily to detox my brain for what I just poured into it. The extra penny is to kick into the give a penny take a penny dish that seems to be taken more than given too with this donation along with 686 donation to make your public benefit podcast designation official Yes, we used to call ourselves the Public Benefit Podcast and then we keep forgetting to call us.

Not sure you knew what it meant uh forte And this stems back to your classic, which was do you believe in peak oil? Yeah. Well then what are we worried about? Which was actually the best and I think that must have Clicked or something because they just eliminated the whole idea of Pico I personally ever heard oil for the last decade. Yeah, so do you believe in climate change? Oh, I don't deny climate change but you don't have to say human cause just I totally believe in climate change I can't I'm outraged we're not going after China That's crazy and then just let him stew on that he didn't want any karma So will do this Good for me

CHAPTER 15 / 27 Discussion

Impeachment Standards, Media Amplification

The hosts examine the history of impeachment, noting that a president does not need to commit a specific crime to be impeached, as seen in the cases of Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon. They argue that the current inquiry regarding the Ukraine call is driven by media amplification and public sentiment rather than legal evidence found in the transcript.

impeachment· andrew johnson· richard nixon· ukraine· brian lehrer

1:22:51 For the B-block, I wanted to share something to set the stage regarding impeachment.

1:23:27 For the United States certainly has lost its collective shit once again. Left and right fighting about what is breaking the law, what is federal election law? What is the value of data or information versus money? And this all a complete waste of time and I would like to explain it's very important that people understand what you really can get impeached for, and you don't have to commit a crime. In fact we know that the Constitution specifically speaks of bribery and treason but there's this little high crimes in misdemeanors thing that people just kind of gloss over

1:24:15 And we have had impeachments in the past, and let me just tell you what the actual articles of impeachment stated so you understand better what is happening and why the media is completely out of its mind. In 1868 President Andrew Johnson underwent impeachment proceedings after he ordered the firing of his Secretary of War That would be the Secretary of Defense now. His opponents charged that this order violated the Tenure of Office Act, which set the tenure of certain officials." Just so you know that is...that's the level of misdemeanor that can be used for impeachment in 1974 The House Judiciary Committee recommended the full House of Representatives approve articles of impeachment against Nixon

1:25:15 It did not cite any impeachable offense. Instead, it found a broad pattern of wrongdoing that Nixon had conspired with his advisors to obstruct federal and congressional investigations of the Watergate break-in." And the reason I bring this up is the only real thing you need to impeach a president is the United States public the voters, the public need to be on the side of impeachment. And that is what you're seeing! That's why the transcript of the Ukraine call doesn't matter one bit and of course everybody here talking I've been several times people very angrily send either emails to me or tweeted... Can you say this isn't a crime? This is a crime?! Are we going to defend that guy!? To which

1:26:08 To which I usually say, well here's the transcript and I link to the PDF. Please point out the crime to me and they go away! They don't even reply because they realize they can't do it but it doesn't matter he doesn't have to commit a crime It can just be unseemly non-presidential behavior Too much tweeting Too much tweeting! They could actually impeach him for tweeting at all They could impeach him for his shitty hair Yeah, I think really we hate your hair orange face orange hair if you're not red white and blue You're not good enough. So yes of course And this is why it's a beautiful time to be alive to witness this in this process Where the media and this is it? This is a medias job politicians can can be blowhards all they want then you can have

1:27:00 Schiff making up his version of a story, but that really doesn't get anywhere without the amplification of the media. And they're really all in! A number of Fox people are also all in on this Not all of them, but you can see that yeah there is just this this anti-trump sentiment and they want to get rid of him and Even if they never file articles of impeachment. Yeah, I think that this to some degree has got to be damaging But that's really what this is about. In fact, here's another fine example We didn't even have this with the Mueller...Mueller...Mueller! We didn't even have this with the Mueller report. I'm having trouble speaking today

1:27:49 Here is the latest podcast from NPR. I'm announcing the House of Representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry You cannot find any reason to impeach this president that really impacts our national security and Congress has to act It's a whole host.

Rick Perry, Ukraine Natural Gas Deals

Secretary of Energy Rick Perry reportedly encouraged President Trump's call to Ukrainian President Zelensky to protect U.S. liquid natural gas (LNG) interests. The U.S. is currently exporting LNG to Poland, which then delivers it to Ukraine, a deal involving significant investments from companies like Cheniere Energy.

rick perry· poland· liquid natural gas· cheniere energy· ukraine

1:28:49 Even more urgent than the impeachment podcast most urgent podcast. That's a very interesting phrase I like that it's most urgent So it is kind of fun to look at to look a little bit deeper At what's happening with Ukraine and how they're involved in this and I'm starting to see some some interesting Side stories that I think will crop up The first one is Rick Perry's involvement And there's now a new narrative clearly coming from the right, though it hasn't really been spelled out properly. Apparently this phone call that Trump made to Zelensky was at the urging of Rick Perry our current Secretary of Energy Do we say Secretary of Energy or the energy secretary? I guess you say energy secretary

1:29:52 Secretary to Department of Energy. There you go, and that he wanted the president to call and just kind of make nice and check in how are you doing everything? And the reason for this I did not know is that we have had a deal in place with Poland and Ukraine We are exporting our liquid natural gas to Poland and Poland has reversed their systems there because they used to receive it from Ukraine, from Russia. Now Poland has literally turned the pipe around which I think is a little more complicated than it sounds and they're taking

1:30:41 United States liquid natural gas, which is gas liquefied to ship it over the ocean and they're selling it or they're delivering it to Ukraine. So this is very important and you may have noticed that Trump nominated Poland for the visa waiver program, something we've been on looking at for three years. It was a promise he would do it in two weeks. Three years later nominated doesn't mean that anything has happened so he's trying to make nice and there's a lot of deals going on here but this was really something that Rick Perry wanted to protect and I think...I think this comes-this goes back to Chenier LNG

1:31:26 and Chenier Energy, they are the ones that put I think like 18 billion dollars into the Sabine Pass in Louisiana. Do you remember any of this? Nope! We did talk about it on the show in light of pipelines so the Sabine gas energy facility used to take import gas from abroad and then, you know ship it off through wherever it had to go in the states. But there was this during the Obama administration there was a big group of investors and they all think about 18 billion dollars and they all jumped in and they were trying to figure out what to do with this investment And they too reversed everything for the export which now people are benefiting from

1:32:16 So this story about Ukraine, it has to emerge yet but I think that you'll find out this is a lot more about gas and who owns the gas companies and who were involved also from the previous administration. Bobby Jindal was one all involved in this In this, I don't want to call it a scam but it's a big sales job and it makes a lot of sense that Perry is just kind of... doesn't he look like a douchey shoe sales guy? Kind of. Remember when we met him on the airplane? Tell that story again! Yeah, The Keeper and I were coming back from was a Southwest flight and Rick Perry gets on the plane and he's walking back And I said hey at the time he was our governor

1:33:07 Or had he just been kicked out of that? I can't remember. It was like, hey how you doing? He's like hey buddy yeah! Yeah hey buddy and he's like tapping me on the shoulder Hey buddy hey how are you doing buddy? He looks like a hey-buddy guy Thumbs up hey buddy good to see ya yeah right great great So there is something happening that still needs to unfold but i think it's going to be very interesting because it has to involve big money and then it makes a lot more sense when you see that all of these I mean, the Ukraine when we were following this. This was a total takeover by the United States government We installed the new government! We have phone calls explaining exactly how we're going to make it happen and hey This is great. We're getting Biden over here to midwife The deal you know that was his job was to midwife it to put all these douchebags in place including A very interesting douchebag...The Ambassador

CHAPTER 17 / 27 Discussion

Marie Yovanovitch, Ukrainian Corruption Allegations

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch is accused by Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuri Lutsenko of providing a "do not prosecute" list during her tenure. These allegations surface alongside reports from Zero Hedge claiming Joe Biden received $900,000 from Burisma for lobbying efforts.

marie yovanovitch· yuri lutsenko· burisma· joe biden· kiev

1:34:05 the US ambassador to Ukraine and her name is Yuri, no I'm sorry Marie Yovanovitch Yeah, Yovanovitch. She's a player in this whole scheme. She is a player she was also mentioned in the transcript I also kind of just glossed over it and paraphrasing the president said something to be effective oh yeah she's going for a rough time right now and that rough time I think as explained in this clip from Ukrainian prosecutor general Yuri Lutsenko talking about...and we have translator here talking about

1:34:47 the ambassador from the US to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch. How do you gauge the relationship between Ukraine and specifically our U.S. Ambassador, Ms. Yovanovitch? Ambassador from any country represents this country in our country. From this point of view I give my respect to the ambassador. From another hand it is true that I had some difficulties difficult personal relationship with the U.S. ambassador. Unfortunately, from the first meeting with the U.S. ambassador in Kiev, the U.S. ambassador gave me a list of people whom we should not prosecute." My response to that is inadmissible

1:35:34 Nobody in this country, neither our president nor our parliament nor ambassador would stop me from prosecuting whether there is a crime. At that time we had a case for the embezzlement of the U.S. government technical assistance worth a full million dollars, and in that regard we had this dialogue. At that time, Ms Ambassador showed that our interviews of Ukrainian citizens or Ukrainian civil servants who were frequent visitors to the U.S. Embassy put a shadow on anti-corruption policy."

1:36:17 So there's a reason why you'll never see this on the mainstreams because no one understands what the hell the people are saying. But what it boils down to is that the US ambassador came with a list and said, hey here's the people you may not prosecute and every single one of those people had been visitors to the U.S. embassy so there's shenanigans going on And now Zero Hedge reporting for what it's worth that Biden, Joe Biden Sr. himself was also paid money by Burisma apparently $900,000 so there is definitely some shady stuff going on Oh yeah I mean I went through some of the clips that we had of them setting up the government in

1:37:03 Here was this I think this one let's listen to this What was this the only way we'd end up in a joint strategy is if the Russians agreed to the general? Premise that we have to have a ceasefire We have to have a transitional government and we have to have a decision on getting rid of Assad That's what the secretary has been working on in the meantime. We're working on Isis, and they're looking at a different part It's not the one I wanted you want to play well put some in the show notes we have all these calls and Newland, former I guess she was the ambassador or assistant ambassador from... No she was part of the Secretary of State's office. Yeah but you had an ambassador title somehow. She got it in my name. Anyway yes she was the senior advisor

1:37:47 I guess look at a henchman. She was a bag man for Clinton Yeah, but but they literally went over there and installed a whole new government with shills. I think at the time also the Secretary of the Treasury Was a Ukrainian who came from the States we installed that woman to take over all the finances So it was a total shit show no one wants that coming up above board And then you know and then it's just so much that originated from there But none of it really has to do with this transcript, none of it. If they're really running scared and with them I mean the previous administration if they're really worried about it yeah then it would make a lot of sense to try and distract and get everyone to focus on Trump being in a huge D-bag Well I mean that's what Ray McGovern says he thinks that whole thing is a complete distraction I do have a crummy clip

CHAPTER 18 / 27 Discussion

DOJ Leaks, John Durham Investigation

CIA analyst Ray McGovern suggests the impeachment inquiry is a diversion from Inspector General Michael Horowitz's FISA report and John Durham's investigation into the origins of the Russia probe. Meanwhile, a Defense Intelligence Agency worker was arrested for leaking top-secret information to reporters, signaling a potential crackdown on government leakers.

bill barr· john durham· fisa· ray mcgovern· james comey

1:38:42 from him on a radio podcast, radio show podcast. It's just the worst connection but before we play that I'd like to play The Talking Points Exposed which is not the best of these things which is where you show that all these different newscasters are saying the exact same thing over and over and over again which is always good for a laugh at least on our show and I think it should be done more often but this is kind of short one. He should be impeached constitutional class. Constitutional clash on Capitol Hill this morning a constitutional crisis is brewing in a scathing letter of democratic leadership in the house president trump announced he will not cooperate with the impeachment inquiry democrats quickly shot back warning the president that you will be held accountable oh that was two different newscasters at like the end there? That was good four all all saying the same thing word for word

1:39:38 Yeah, you know after this is all said and done a couple years down the line The news as as they call themselves will have destroyed themselves. No one's going to believe them listen to them watch them no one if completely just ruined themselves They're ruining their business I don't well. I don't think news is a business. I don't think it ever was a business They turned it into a business when we and cable cable really turn it into a big business And that's when, you know... because you had a captive audience. You have control. You're gatekeeper. You can decide what's going where and mind you MSNBC Well CNN started of course but they've been around for a long time these are money makers well they were money makers and it's not really a business we don't have a business you and I don't have a business

1:40:37 If we want to make it a business would be selling ads and if we would not have you have the same drivel they have. Yeah we had the same drivel that's the reason we do it the way we do it i wanna play, Ray mcgovern who claims that this there's a distraction going on and this is. I hate an element of this clip i really don't like because it harkens back to the character your favorite guy the million sealed indictments guy. You mean Joe DiGenova? It has an element of that and so this kind of concerns me but at the same time if we can hear this because it's very... it is kinda a

1:41:24 crappy connection but let's listen to Ray McGovern on the felons that are out there. One question, who is Ray McGovern again? Okay well we've played Ray McGovern a million times A million times?! A million times at least! Now Ray McGovern is my Joe Degenoa Ray McGovern is the CIA guy, ex-CIA analyst who became a kind of radical... I think he's been a left winger. He's really kind of a lefty that has been on and off He was on all these shows for a long time and he used to be on Democracy Now constantly. And the last clip we played from him was about how he got blackballed from Democracy Now because it's not- Oh, okay yes I do remember that yeah Because he is not following the litany of bull crap that these people are promoting and so he has been black balled along with Stephen Cohen who has been black balled there is a slew of them have been black balled and the smart ones

1:42:28 if you want to call him smart or just douchey, switch like Napolitano. Just switch sides and now they're anti-Trump so they still get work. So McGovern's on this... And I've been wanting to do an interview with McGovern because he getting pretty old but Ray McGovern here is on this clip discussing... When you hear him talk because he has a funny patter that is I don't know it's just very singular let's play him. Alright then promise me you get a drink of water. Yeah i see this as a magnificent diversion, remember the old movie or book make magnificent obsession well it works really well before and not too long ago

1:43:17 Remember when Assange and Wikileaks released the DNC email showing that Hillary Clinton had cheated Bernie Sanders out of the nomination. Whoa! How are they going to handle that? They picked a magnificent diversion by saying, why do Russians do this? The Russians...why would...the Russians...an act of war right now. Wow! And most American people think that the Russians did hack and there's no substantive evidence or technical evidence that affects. So what's going on this time? Well, most people don't realize that the inspector general

1:43:55 of the Department of Justice has been investigating the people who looked into Trump and who violated all manner of laws, including the very sensitive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act law. We call it FISA. And he's been at it for a year and a half. When is that going to finish? I got news for you. He finished, he finished four weeks ago what did he do? He gave his report to his boss Bill Barr the Attorney General What's going on? Why the delay? Fast forward here

1:44:35 And we have Bill Barr and the other prosecutor who is working on this case, namely how this whole investigation of Russia...how this whole thing about Russiagate started. John Durham...okay, Durham and Barr go to Italy Why did they go to Italy? Because that's where part of the operation started by this very, very shadowy figure Milt Vitsud and they get into the bottom of that and Italians are cooperating. So what is going on here? They're fueling the heat! And what we have here in my view is a magnificent

1:45:10 And this is a diversion of attention, including impeachment proceedings or the like to divert attention to what Horowitz has come up with and what Durham and Bill Barr are keeping their peace. But they've got dynamite because Really big guys. James Comey, head of the FBI John Brennan, CIA Comeys deputy people in the Justice Department itself will be shown to be felons Yeah Nice really big guys are felons I have thousands of sealed indictments you've got really big guys who are felons

1:45:52 That's your bill what's interesting with that clip is an under reported story. Just broke which is shows up on the web but you find a funny newspapers definitely not any of the media that I can click Where and as a bill bar operation that defense intelligence is the headline you can look you can do the search on this Defense Intelligence Agency worker arrested on charges of leaking top-secret information to reporters I did see this. Yeah, I did see it And that's part of I believe what what was going on talking about they're starting to pick these guys off

1:46:30 Who are you never heard of these people but there this guy's a thirty year old he's been arrested for leaking top secret documents to reporters. Right out the day and this may be the beginning of something so maybe both the genoa and governor maybe is gonna happen so what do you think will happen sooner Thousands of sealed indictments or the end of the world in 2030 due to climate change? Well, let me see. I think there's three choices one is is Comey going to be found to be a felon it'd be a choice one that thousands have sealed indictments would be choice two

1:47:11 Climate change, we already wrote that one off as bogus. I don't know none probably but they're gonna be picking off these little of these characters though and it's gonna put a... It's gonna change things a little bit but nobody is reporting on this. This is scandalous! Meanwhile, the president started his own distraction. Although a very interesting one since we've been looking at Syria and the pipelines you probably heard the words homes in Aleppo two full years before it was even in the world media

CHAPTER 19 / 27 Discussion

Syria Withdrawal, Kurdish Geopolitics

President Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria is analyzed as a strategic move to force regional players like Turkey, Russia, and Iran to manage their own borders. Colonel Douglas MacGregor argues that the withdrawal checkmates these actors, leaving Turkey responsible for containing ISIS while the Kurds are forced to negotiate with the Syrian government in Damascus.

syria· kurds· turkey· erdogan· douglas macgregor· isis

1:47:53 regarding the pipelines and the involvement of the Russians, and there's just so many different agendas at play in that region. And we also looked at the Kurds who have been... this is all part of the Ottoman Empire you know? This is a hundred-year old issue! The Kurds never agreed with the Turks and they have just claimed this territory say hey this is ours we call it Kurdistan. You can look it up there's no real country called Kurdistan But they also have the PKK who are swapping out their military uniform badges for YPG and commonly known as the Syrian Democratic Forces.

1:48:37 So there's been all this shenanigans going on with what started as a 30-day trip to go fix something in Syria. But of course it was really all about energy issues and who owns what, and it's kind of the same thing that Ukraine is going through so President Trump says yeah you know I was gonna pull out and play little bit from his his speech from the White House which justifies his actions. Now, the Kurds are fighting for their land just so you understand they're fighting for their land and as somebody wrote in a very very powerful article today They didn't help us in the Second World War They didn't help us with Normandy as an example They mentioned names of different battles that were there but they're there to help us with their land And that's a different thing In addition to that we have spent tremendous amounts of money

1:49:29 on helping the Kurds in terms of ammunition, in terms of weapons, in terms of money, in terms of pay. With all that being said we like the Kurds this is like Israel and the Palestinians okay? There's only one difference maybe their hatred even greater Is that possible? Maybe not I campaigned on ending the endless wars We're all over the world fighting wars half the places nobody even knows what they are doing over there And I feel that we are doing the right thing and I think the country feels that too. We've had tremendous support outside of the Washington, little Washington area and even in Washington people are saying you're doing the right thing." Now there's no doubt that the Kurds who were fighting with us against ISIS created by us never mind Are very brave they're very good soldiers They're highly respected by the US troops But what Trump is saying is correct

1:50:24 And what the narrative, the mainstream narrative from the war hawks and neo-liberals, neocons just everyone who's sucking off the military industrial complex teat They are outraged and they've come up with this idea of saying, well there are closest ally as you mentioned earlier. Which of course they're not the Israel is the closest ally in the region but their closest ally how could you let them just be slaughtered? And then I can it'd be slaughtered they're not stupid have been fighting the Turks for 100 years however is interesting to note that there seems to be some strategy behind this

1:51:06 And by the way, if you're going to say they are our ally and they helped us. Well then what are you doing pissing against Russia? They won the second world war for us! And now we hate them?! So shut up with that. Colonel Douglas MacGregor He's a Fox contributor, so he is paid to say this. But I really enjoyed his analysis of this move by the president so much so that I clipped it from the Tucker Carlson show which I don't do often. Well, The Swamp is clearly very disturbed. Which I think...I think that's a candidate for an end-of-show ISO. Yeah, I got a better one. Well, The Swamp is clearly very disturbed

1:51:49 Because the president has done something that I have not witnessed in the last 30 years. He's actually injecting strategy back into American foreign and defense policy Let me explain he's turned to mr.. Erdogan who has been trying to carve out a portion of Syria now for a very long time Remember, Mr. Erdogan is also partially responsible for standing up Isis then ISIS turned out to be a Frankenstein's monster And he decided it needed to be brought under control Now he wants to resettle Sunni Arab refugees in northwestern Syria and create a kind of security zone for Turkish interests. But he's also simultaneously told Mr Erdogan, you can do this but now YOU are responsible for dealing with ISIS if ISIS rears its head. If it comes back it is your problem!

1:52:39 Now, this is a very important point. The president has shifted the burden of responsibility for something that is clearly regional, clearly goes back to Turkey to Mr Erdogan. At the same time Russia has promised to maintain the territorial integrity of Syria come what may how is Russia going to deal with Mr Erdogan who has decided to carve out a piece of Syria for his own purposes? And then we have Iran. Iran wants to maintain its connectivity to Lebanon and its Shiite allies in that country, but with the Turks dominating northern Syria, Iran now is going to be unable or at least will find it far more difficult to connect with Lebanon The point is the president has checkmated all of the key players in the region in Syria Now they must confront each other

1:53:31 I recommend, if possible to rewind that piece, that clip on the show when you're listening to it and look at the map while he's saying this because it makes so much sense. And taking into consideration that we are energy exporters, we don't really need it anymore all the douchebags from decades and decades prior who were in all those deals and that includes the Clintons and the Bushs Cheneys of the world, they're all in these deals. We don't need it! So what I see Trump doing is, screw it. We're out we're not gonna have any of... he was a campaign promise after all Yes it was And you guys go pound sand! Go figure it out Turkey Well hold on He has made a very specific threat towards Turkey He said if Turkey starts massacring people because I will bring down their economy I will kill their economy and he can right now Erdogan is looking at

1:54:32 The interest rate is, well Erdogan recently I think in the end of July he strong-armed the central bank president and said look you got to do something about the rates. The rate was 24% interest rate. Twenty four! They got it down to 1975 19.75. Erdogan wants to lower this even more it would not take much for us in particular To really ruin the economy Again, so that threat is real. I think that's better than hey we're gonna stand there We're gonna fight the Turks our NATO ally it makes zero sense So a whole thing yeah and so again people are just rolling this into more fodder for impeachment I did want to play one more clip from McGregor gives little background on the Kurds before we arrived The Maoist communist Kurds in northern Syria who have a long history and a close relationship with Moscow as result

1:55:31 We're always interested in allying themselves with anyone that would further their cause when their cause involves independence for themselves in Syria and also attacks against the Turks, whom they regard as enemies. In our absence the Kurds now have to make a decision Do we make a peace with Damascus, which is what the Russians have told them to do? Which is what we have privately told them to do. Which is what the Syrian government would like them to do or did the Kurds decide to take on the Turks independently I rather think that these Syrian Kurds will decide that it's probably in their interests To side with Damascus so once we pull out. I think we'll see that happen and

1:56:12 But here's something else. Israel benefits from this because Iran is now at loggerheads with Turkey, Iran is interested in connecting to Hezbollah the Russians have no interest in turning Syria into a platform for attack against Israel so the Russian and the Iranian who are checkmated by the Turks Now the Turks and all three of these people have to deal with reality that Israel and United States are benefiting from our withdrawal Which is great for us, not so great for people who like globalism. No it's anti-globalist and I have a clip to follow up on yours. Okay? Your buddy... You know you really have got to stop walking in my turf man! It's like I introduced the guy to the show now you're doing clips every time The clip was there for the grabbing Yeah but we're doing double the work I get the clips too

CHAPTER 20 / 27 Discussion

Steve Pieczenik, Military Industrial Complex Critics

Steve Pieczenik criticizes "chicken hawks" like Mitt Romney and Dick Cheney for advocating for wars they avoided serving in personally. He suggests that Dr. Rand Paul should be sent as an envoy to negotiate with Bashar al-Assad and mocks the idea of relocating ISIS prisoners to Australia or New Zealand.

steve pieczenik· mitt romney· dick cheney· liz cheney· rand paul

1:57:08 Here's Pachanik, Steve Pachanik who has got a very interesting background. People should look him up on Wikipedia And he, I've got two clips on his and this is his take on the Syria extraction. It's a little more of course different it's a little more blunt and a little more spooky but this is the way he sees it. Do leave Syria we do not need to be in Syria The reason I say that because I was in Syria before the war just started and I warned the CIA and our military intelligence not to go in CIA went in and during the Obama administration, Biden, Obama, Kerry, Brennan and others didn't listen to what I had to say. But Syria I found it be very advanced number one Bashar Assad is a physician and ophthalmologist if you want to send an envoy there i would strongly recommend that you send Dr Rand Paul who's also a board certified ophthalmologist

1:58:09 and particularly believes in what you and I believe in, which is no more wars. He can work with Assad who's also the ophthalmologist. Number two don't listen to your critics first of all Mitt Romney doesn't have any experience war as a matter of fact we call him a chicken hawk because when he was drafted into Vietnam several times he refused to serve and ran immediately to Paris as a Mormon missionary Now, I happen to like the Mormons. I worked with Brent Scowcroft. I worked with a lot of CIA operatives who are Mormon. I have never met more cowardly Mormon in my life than Mitt Romney and not only is he a coward of course He's despicable as an individual as a senator and as a businessman Didn't we had wasn't there a Mormon war? Am i imagining this

1:59:00 But no, well... They tried to rouse the Mormons from various states before they settled into Utah. I mean yeah, that was called a Mormon war and Mormons were rejected by the Americans when they in 1800s or so when they started when they showed up Yeah 1838! The Missouri Mormon War. Yeah that's one day I guess as when they roused them sent him they all went to Utah. Okay alright sorry That wasn't whole clip there? I thought there is more to it You have second clip Yeah, well let's play that. Then let's talk about the other critics Liz Cheney The daughter of the most treasonous Cowardly American I have ever met and the one Nixon couldn't stand the one Kissinger couldn't stand the one I couldn't stand none Other than Dick Cheney the biggest coward and treasonous individual in the history of the United States He was drafted not once but 11 times to go to Vietnam and eleven times mrs. Cheney

2:00:00 Liz Cheney's mother and Dick Cheney were able to avoid the draft, yet nevertheless he sent us to Vietnam Iraq Afghanistan and all the wars but he was too cowardly. So I wouldn't listen to Liz Cheney So, the key aspect here is to do exactly what you said. The Kurds will not be killed first of all Erdogan is receiving six billion dollars from us and from the European continent because we do not want any North Africans to go into Greece and guess what? Erdogan is doing our bidding at the same time you give her one some more money and he will not get involved with the Kurds. The Kurds will be safe

2:00:41 If you fear that anything is going to happen to the Kurds, then allow them to establish themselves in Europe and Norway Sweden, France Spain Italy. There's a lot of places to go at the same time if everybody is afraid of the 10,000 terrorists that were held in Syria, then let us concern ourselves about another place where they can be placed and no one is in danger. That could be Australia or Australia so large guess what? It's one of our closest allies and they can easily absorb 10,000 ISIS members and the middle of their country. And by the way we have more camels in Australia than we have in the Middle East. So I think

2:01:24 The terrorists will be very comfortable in Australia as well as New Zealand since they're our good allies. But, in fact what you said is correct we spent the fortune in that war We spent a fortune to get the Kurds on our side now it's time for the Europeans and Russia, Iran, Egypt United Arab Emirates the Saudi Arabians and Israelis to handle this problem because that's their regional concern. It's not our concern Yeah a lot of people I know in Europe are all up in arms now we're gonna get all these a-holes over here yeah so? That's your policy it's your policy you want them you said open our borders there you go

CHAPTER 21 / 27 Discussion

ISIS Prison Interviews, Fake News Claims

CBS correspondent Holly Williams interviewed ISIS captives in a Syrian prison, including a 22-year-old from Minneapolis who claimed he joined the group because he believed reports of ISIS terrorism were "fake news." The prisoner expressed a desire for forgiveness, claiming he was a victim of propaganda rather than a fighter.

holly williams· cbs news· isis· minneapolis· fake news

2:02:14 I think this pachinko giving the needle to Australia and New Zealand though. Let's ship all the ISIS prisoners, and Holly Williams...I do have this clip which might as well play it That is pretty funny And by the way yes Australia does have millions of camels When i visited they got that wide open area between Sydney in Perth It's just a big giant desert Well there are some cities in between Hey send him to that rock So they can go there. Send them to Ayers Rock! So there is an encampment of a lot of ISIS prisoners in northern Syria and Holly Williams, and it's really funny that listen to this she goes into this, Holly Williams is the foreign correspondent for CBS and she got I think at CBS and she goes

2:03:06 into the camp somehow. And she interviews a couple of these characters and it's actually quite entertaining, creepy too. This is the first time they've allowed a camera crew inside this high security prison home to 5,000 ISIS captives including ISIS leaders and the men who built their deadly bombs according to the guards Hi, are you American? Of course. It was not where we expected to find a 22-year old from Minneapolis. Abdelhamid Al Marium agreed to tell us his story but we can't know for sure whether he was speaking freely He told us that he was recruited through ISIS through a contact on Twitter. He said do you want to speak with someone in ISIS

2:03:54 I said, yeah of course. He was bombarded with ISIS propaganda videos he told us not the ones showing gruesome beheadings but explaining that ISIS was helping Muslims. He says he entered Isis territory in 2015 hoping to become a doctor How did they treat you? Pretty much they gave me a blank check to buy whatever i wanted Did you not know that it was a terrorist organization when you joined it To be honest, I was kind of a conspiracy theorist a little bit. But it's a terrorist organization Abdel. It is a terrorist organization that has carried out attacks Here is the thing... People like me who see this don't really believe the news You heard him right! He thought ISIS terrorism was fake news

2:04:42 Like many in this prison, he claims he was never an ISIS fighter. Instead, he says he was a victim. He told us that he lost his arm in a US air strike. Others here also have terrible injuries. Some are children but there's no question this is a dangerous place The guard showed us this attempted prison break from just four days ago. They want foreign governments to take their citizens home so they can't escape and rejoin ISIS insurgents Abdel claims he was interrogated here by FBI agents who said he could face 15 years in prison in the US. Fifteen years is a very long time for mistakes you made coming Syria So, you feel that you deserve to be forgiven?

2:05:30 I would say that. Okay! Yeah, I should be forgiven. I should be forgiven yeah That's why I think this is a callback to your comment about the news organizations losing credibility completely and probably their business because this guy is A candidate for mainstream media news And he thinks that he thought the whole he thought the whole Isis thing was bullcrap didn't exist They're just a bunch of good guys doing you know helping kids doing all his work So that to me was like what Wow, okay good work news media No matter what so full of crap half the time. Did you know this is a crying wolf problem? This is what they had over and over investigation We've listened for two years that Trump was going down when the Mueller report came out And all we found out is that no agenda show is the best podcast in universe It's right there in the middle now as a plus yeah

CHAPTER 22 / 27 Discussion

China Influence, NBA and Hollywood Censorship

The influence of the Chinese Communist Party on American institutions is highlighted following the NBA's controversy over a pro-Hong Kong tweet and Activision Blizzard's banning of a championship player. The hosts discuss how Hollywood and the gaming industry self-censor to maintain access to the Chinese market, as parodied in a recent "South Park" episode.

china· hong kong· nba· south park· activision blizzard

2:06:26 Alright, even if this president never shows his face again. Even if our president is gone from the world stage what he did in bringing China into the conversation in the United States I think has been very very good and very healthy for us Of course most of this now playing out on Hong Kong but some big things are happening force in Hong Kong is completely under the command of the Chinese Communist Party. It's deterrently, which is the existential risk for humanity! Understand this? This is not just a bill. The bill has been withdrawn if you have not mistaken but the thing is Hong Kong has changed.

2:07:13 And I agree with this protester in Hong Kong, but maybe not in the way he intended. If China falls yeah the entire West Falls the United States of Hong Kong falls Yeah But the United States is so tied to China and we've been looking at the end of China's for many years. We've looked at China's investment involvement in the entertainment industry, this is why Richard Gere has zero work it's not because of the gerbil story no-no! It's because he's pro Tibet

2:08:03 Yeah, yeah if you're pro-Tibet you might as well give up your career in China...in Hollywood. And we're now finding out that even just saying stuff like that will get you banned and as if it was coordinated South Park comes out with a Dynamite episode called Banned B A N D In China and make a long story short Who's the guy is it Cartman's dad who has the Tegrity weed farm? He's gonna go sell some Tegrity. He's gonna go sell some Tegrity to the Chinese and he's on the plane and he thinks that he's had this genius idea to go sell something to the Chinese, and it turns out... ...He's not the only one! First time going to China

2:08:48 Uh, no. Not really It's my first time! I'm going out to try and drum up a little business What are you heading out for? Uh...I work for a clothing company We're trying to break into the market and get the Chinese people as customers Oh, hey. Fuck you! I had that idea like three days ago So what? So when did YOU come up with it?! Hey Mitchell, you're on this flight!? Yeah that's so funny...I'm working for Google now overseeing the expansions into the Chinese user base He has still at the NBA doing some press with players to try and get more Chinese viewers Oh for Christ sake You have a good idea and everyone wants to copy you Fine, i can handle some healthy competition

2:09:30 Who else wants to go to China and get some of their money? Oh, for crying out loud. Let me guess, you work for a company trying to get Chinese people as customers. Wow! Where'd you get that idea? It's okay it's okay I'm sure there are plenty of Chinese people for all of us So what you couldn't hear is the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is on the plane everybody going to China and we learned that one tweet one single twit of support For Hong Kong, i.e., a bad message for China has blocked this and I don't know shit about this about sports... ...I had no idea that this is one of the biggest sports in China... ...I had no idea as to what is really going on between our National Basketball Association and China

2:10:25 But as I'm perusing through Fox Sports 1, as I usually do. I caught my buddy Jason Whitlock with an explanation. Well, I think the cultural impact that China's influence over a great sport, a great American sport like basketball is just now being exposed. And just how dependent the NBA is on the Chinese economy and Chinese money to put on the appearance of how great the league is doing without the Chinese money, and without... Because you really have to understand that shoe companies Nike, Adidas they run American basketball

2:11:06 from the high school level all the way to the pros and this shoe companies are dependent on the china market and that's where all of this is coming from you see nba players constantly over the summer during their off season running to china to do the bidding of their shoe companies and to sell those shoes in the china market and so the nba is really being exposed as not nearly as much of American business as it is a global business with China perhaps having more influence over it than even America. Not just that business, another huge industry the video game industry Activision Blizzard has banned a championship player because in some post-game interview he's showed his support for the people of Hong Kong

2:12:00 Boom gone done. Everyone is so afraid and I believe a lot of our politicians here in the US But probably everywhere in the world are on the fucking payroll They're all in bed with the Chinese and there and that's why you see people doing just stuff That's not in their own country's best interest China is ruling and it's all about money now. That's what of course that's who we are in America We're all about the money, but I'd like this. I like pulling the scab off Let's see let's see what's really going on underneath there look at all these companies Apple you oh well There's no got to pull this app now because they could use it to track Police movements, but that's gone from the App Store It's red there and and there's already been the

2:12:49 Which we recall from over a year ago where somebody mislabeled Taiwan. Oh yeah! And the next thing you know because the Chinese objected to this they had to go jump through hoops to get everything straightened out I mean, this is a tail wagging the dog in many ways. And it's like... It's embarrassing! But Hollywood is the worst example which you started with. Oh! They have these studios now they have sound stages they've built and put a lot of money into Chinese production. Didn't the Chinese also buy AMC? Wasn't that their deal? The AMC movie theaters? That's a possibility

2:13:29 The chinese have way too much influence on the american movie business and any movie that doesn't kind of. Parrot chinese norms so far as thoughts on communism even you know the movies have to have if the message isn't right it won't get distribution in China, they'll lose all the foreign money and the Foreign Box Office I was reading just recently is higher than the domestic box office almost every successful movie. Yes all these companies that you built up not you John

2:14:05 I wish people buying the video games, people buying the movies renting the movies going to the movies. Yes indeed The Dali and Wanda group from China bought AMC Movie Theaters You basically helped them build it up and now they're pissing on you It's just taking it all away We should boycott all of it every single bit of it. Yeah who cares we don't need the NBA go away NBA, go away. The only thing you can count on that is not influenced by Chinese money is the No Agenda show. I'm gonna show my support by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah that'd be fab

CHAPTER 23 / 27 Discussion

2:18:31 Well, this is what these I want to thank these are the producers for show 1180. Yeah You know and if you're wondering how can you support the best podcast in universe spend a little less money on China? One movie less perhaps but really for us it's just whatever value you get out of it if you're in Candinavia The coverage was valuable to you then how much was it worth? Was it the same as reading a newspaper buying a book watching a documentary that's all we asked for For 98.5% of the production over the listening audience Apparently no value, but for that one and a half two percent

2:19:08 They find it valuable and we find their contribution extremely valuable because we can pay our bills. Thank you very much Also, thank you to everybody under fifty dollars Mostly for anonymity but we do have a lot of programs You can check out which you can get on monthlies 3333 1212 1111's and I saw our guy or whoever it is At the very bottom here hold on a second I thought it was funny because I like reading all the notes when they come in The guy from Arizona who gave us 32 cents and his note was 11 weeks to knighthood.

2:19:48 He must be very, very close if he's down to 32 cents at a time. I really doubt it! Please consider supporting the show It is yours after all it is your No Agenda podcast we all do it together and to find out more If you've never done it or as a handy jingle reminder go to Dvorak.org Slash and a some karmas as requested jobs Jobs jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs you've got Karma, then I got a note here from Dave Corbin ooh who we knighted on episode 1178 is sir Dave in dimension Dimension B He couldn't be happier he says however he noticed his 9999 donation which put him through the night who was not read out on the show and

2:20:38 Even though even though he was knighted in the knighthood segment Now John would you like to explain the general guidelines of donations? Yeah, the notes generally speaking are not generally speaking but by rule we only Promise to read notes of donors that are in the executive associate executive producer side of things and now there was over two hundred bucks your notes get red under two hundred dollars then you get your name gets red but you know does not get read. Except if it's interesting or Adam stops me, we can read the note and we read those notes randomly. So of maybe 20 notes in that segment, we read maybe two. But what he asked us for because he did write as war and peace if you recall is he has for a deducing for the war and peace

2:21:34 Oh, well he should've put the D. If you're gonna ask for deductions in the lower amounts put it right at the beginning. Yeah, anyway I wanted to know... We just we reading through this we can't sit there and read that yeah and let's back up let's do a little background. When we started doing donations which was 10 years ago we read everything and then we commented on the numbers and how they were kind of numerological, everything. You donate five bucks your name got read. Then after a while it was taking up too much to show, it was taking up half the show so we stopped doing that and put it at $50 and above and then its got now to the point where our now is pretty much as same as when we made this rule which is that

2:22:17 Now, we're not reading all these notes because there was too many of them and too many people were donating $51 and writing a long note about their spouse or about the politics of the country. And they expected us to read the whole note so we stopped it. We only really know it's at 200 dollars and above. Even if those are way too long which is most of the people have gotten their act together they write concise notes it'll get edited, but generally speaking that's the rule and that's the way we've stuck with. And every so often newbie comes in and they haven't heard this lecture and they just assume because you see it a lot. You see somebody donates 55 bucks and has a huge jingle request. It's like well we're not gonna do... We don't do that to start what we're doing. Jingle requests should all be up at the top. Well Sir Dave in Dimension B asked for a deducing which I'm going to give him right now.

2:23:12 He says I really just want to be blessed by the Podfather. This is the first time asking for this, and did not think it was appropriate until I was knighted since have been a listener since the single digit episodes and only started donating in 2017 if you could find a second to do this well of course he also wants some house buying karma i'll add that just to make sure everything's all copacetic. You've got karma And Sir Dave thank you very much for your courage Today, the special day. The 1010! That's what the Chiners think. We've got a couple of birthdays. Samantha says happy birthday to her husband Sir Saipan who turned 42 just a couple days ago on the 7th. Sir Wire of the Hidden Jewels says happy birthday to his smoking hot wife Jasmine

Onlia Insurance App, Driver Monitoring

A new mobile app from Canadian insurance provider Onlia uses phone sensors to monitor driving habits such as speed and cornering in exchange for rewards like Starbucks gift cards. The app is marketed as a way to reduce road rage through comedy podcasts, but the hosts warn it is a tool for total driver surveillance.

onlia· canada· insurance· road rage· telematics

2:27:47 A seg? OTG seg, we've been talking about it. Candanavia has a new app from the company Onlia And Onlia is mainly a provider of insurance. Insurances for automobiles, for driving So they have a new app out which they say will modernize auto insurance and they're doing that well the way they're promoting it and I do have a minute-long not really an ad but

2:28:28 you know, an online ad I guess it wouldn't work on television where they are promoting this app which actually helps you become sane and not have as much road rage by bringing you comedy podcasts. You're just in that moment where you're just like... I mean i've given someone the finger before! I am a road ragey person Oh my god! Let's talk about some techniques to take you from peeved to relieved.

2:29:05 Has this ever happened to you? Oh no! I once screamed so loud that a fire engine came. The comedy segments actually relax me, it kind of just really mellows you out Once the comedy podcasts were introduced to my driving it did calm me down Comedy always helps, laughter is the key to a lot of things You're so into content that you forget that your in traffic 100% I'll be using comedy. I feel that while driving this was a good relaxer It was so calm and steady that it stayed through every altercation, every frustration... I wasn't aware of just how bad my road rage is laughing while driving does Calm down my road rage better to try to de-stress the situation have fun with it rather than just being angry or for the whole day because of traffic it's gonna happen

2:29:55 Okay, so that is kind of the hook to get you in it's like oh You know do you have road road rate apparently a lot of people have Road rage Do you have road rage ever? Do you have any kind of are you getting mad and you yell and scream like these people are doing Well, not to the extent. I mean, I have gotten irked by some people doing some crazy things but This really sounds like people are want to ram them who sounds like people are really angry and yelling well We've already identified this as a part of the whole right political scene. Yes our president So here is the app driving safe comes with perks

2:30:31 So it's not just about keeping you calm with road rage, but you can earn rewards and you can get free coffee. And you can get all kinds of gifts now here's what they're saying Let's make Canada's roads the safest in the world Only a sense gives drivers a fun way to drive safe and distraction-free and help everyone on the road stay safer Get the app and have your phone with you when you drive. Simple as that! Hmm, I wonder why? 2. Get personalized coaching Only a sense uses your phone's sensors to score you on key driving factors like speed

2:31:13 and cornering. And from there, you earn rewards complete safe driving challenges to earn perks like cash back and Starbucks gift cards and they have some screenshots here of this app They have a dashboard and there's there's a little dash board. Oh, yeah Not you can get up to 100% your drive score And it shows everything how you're cornering how you're braking? How you're accelerating stay with staying within the speed limit So go ahead slaves, this is a really good idea. I recommend everybody go and get that app! That is fantastic or if you're an important person like you're running a political campaign Or maybe your politician or well...I don't know something really important You know you should get some advanced protection for your privacy so people can hack your shit

Google Advanced Protection, Ring Doorbell Privacy

Google's "Advanced Protection Program" is marketed to activists and journalists, yet the hosts remain skeptical of using Google for privacy. A personal anecdote about the Amazon Ring doorbell app illustrates how its "Neighborhood" feature can increase user anxiety by constantly reporting local crimes, leading to a preference for traditional security measures like peepholes and firearms.

google· amazon ring· privacy· off the grid· surveillance

2:32:13 Who can give that to you? Some of us need to protect so much more than ourselves. A cause, a platform, a message, a movement... Protect your sources and your story. Protect their story. Protect your partners. Protect your team. Protect what matters If you're an activist, journalist, executive, thought leader, public official or part of a campaign team or anyone who feels vulnerable to highly targeted online attacks Google's Advanced Protection Program is our strongest level of account security and it's designed for you. Turning it on is straightforward and only takes a few minutes

2:32:59 That's who I'm gonna go protect my stuff from Google. Yeah, Google protects you don't worry Don't worry about it's all good now luckily this off the grid is that oh yeah? They give y'all kind of funny thing is he was almost done in the same tone tempo like an apple of the other thing and I thought It was part of the same ad campaign This is how you speak to the millennial set right presume talk like this yes You got Hey, do you really want to have a good life? Yeah. Don't be triggered by my voice." So the OTG lifestyle which I've been propagating for several years here is finally seeping through to some mainstream media and NPR did it's 17 minute segment about going off the grid! Is it even possible they ask?! It's interesting because on one hand

2:33:45 The law itself is very much behind the times. But on the other hand, police departments are very much with the times and so they're interested in social media. They're interested in Amazon Ring footage or interested in next door and citizen police departments are turning right at this same pace as Amazon I think we're a little bit behind And I think that the law itself in terms of regulations around data collection particularly in the US is the furthest back They're the slowest. That's not a great question. And to be quote unquote off the grid? No, it's a great question. I mean, not if you opt into any of these online services certainly and think it's just getting harder and harder to accept except the conveniences that are to avoid accepting the conveniences of that rather offered by all these modern modern technologies in a lot of cases It's you know The only way to fully opt out and get off the grid as you say is to not use them at all You know sort of the default trade-off you make when you plug in that

2:34:47 Smart oven is that that smart oven is tracking every time you turn it on or off and he has a smart might not be Completely informed as to where that data goes. So these are just know by using this tech and by being on the grid You are certainly developing a profile of yourself with with these tech companies, but that's what I'm plugging up in many cases What idiot owns a smart oven? Oh It's the big Amazon product now the microwave oven that has Alexa built-in. Oh, yeah, that's a big push now Alexa I've done I've done on high one minute no no no No That's not know and that's how it works Now you say Alexa? I want to make you know chili And then your to your microwave or start telling me what to put in the bowl and then how much and then it'll automatically Set the time and he it's stupid oh It's so stupid

2:35:43 So what they're doing is identifying the morons in the audience that can be called? What are they up to? Well, the thing is that people think all of this tech as that guy said. That it's somehow really improving your life but its not and I have an example We're in the opportunity zone here in Austin, which means if they ever gentrify this place will be golden. But it might not happen! Things that you know, it's not seems gentrified already if you ask me I've been there Well did you look at the back right in the back of our house is all section 8 housing? It's section 8 housing right beyond the forest. It's not far it seems like 50 feet and then it's but that doesn't mean that that's necessarily where criminals live but something happens

2:36:39 The other day someone rang the doorbell. I wasn't home, keeper opens up and it's this really vague guy asking about you know something did you order something? And Satine is like no and she closes the door now here's the problem we don't have a peephole And it didn't come with the house. And we want a peephole made, unfortunately the way our door is constructed It takes some work to drill the people in the right spot and not crack the glass long story But I found the glass store just look through the glass no it's okay Thanks John you remember you were at my house You can't look through the glass

2:37:24 It's milky glass, so you can't actually see what is on the other side. We have no windows to look out of... There is no way to see who is at the door. Yeah, I know what that means! So here is a woman alone and she doesn't want that crap. You just gotta get her ring Shut up for two seconds! Okay So I found a guy who's going to do the peephole for us, which is we agreed peephole. But then this happens and like okay until we get the people you're right! I went out and got a ring just to see what the experience was like And believe me in two weeks it was gone and they were on sale for like 69 bucks You know the old version so that's fine but here's the experience

2:38:07 So it works as advertised, you can set it for motion. It'll alert you or if someone actually rings the bell, it will alert you but this app? You open up the app and where is it... No I don't have it on Tina's phone And right there it says neighborhood So you have your little video window and then it says neighborhood, and it shows you all the crimes that have taken place in your neighborhood for the past month or two. It's like oh is all this crap happening that now I have anxiety because of this stupid app which is supposed to give me a sense of security?

CHAPTER 26 / 27 Discussion

BLU X5 Smartphone Review, Cheap Tech Discipline

A review of the $75 BLU X5 smartphone highlights that off-brand devices can perform nearly all the functions of $1,000 flagship phones, including running Android 9 and streaming Pluto TV. The user emphasizes the importance of digital discipline, keeping the phone turned off in a drawer when not in use to avoid constant tracking.

blu x5· android· miami· smartphone· pluto tv

2:38:49 It's- none of this is good. It's all a very bad idea We've got firearms, that's all we need I needed firearm and a peephole Always come to the door with a gun I'm not gonna let you forget the review of your brand new phone John C. Dvorak's quickly do the phone what I'm gonna have to review the phone because people are bitching at me saying it's a scam, I don't have a phone and blah blah blah Blah blah blah really blah blah blah so tell us about yourself blue

2:39:25 X5 smartphone big it's big, it's clear. It got all the apps that you want. Who makes this? Blue BLU. X5? One of the two or three off-brand phones these guys are out of Miami so there is something fishy about to begin with and this thing is 75 bucks on sale brand new Google, it's got Google Android 9 the absolute newest of the new. It has the maps, does everything any other smartphone does. I even get Pluto TV on this phone! So i'm showing to the kids... Okay look at this. Where do you think? I want you to guess where is right in this moment

2:40:18 The kids have it. No, no, it's turned off in the drawer belongs yes now but I said it comes with a Kate with one of those cover cases and a thing for the screen if you want to put at all free It's just an unbelievable product for the price. And so I'm showing this and meanwhile everybody at the table, JC has got the newest Apple and everyone else got the newest Samsung and nobody could show me how my 75 buck phone is any less a phone than their phones. It takes good photos, it has HDR on the camera inside of it and the pixels are probably only 12 I think megapixels which is more than enough for our phone and it does all the, it's got everything! And so JC says because he's go this ridiculously expensive phone which is probably superior but its $1000. Bam! And I'm company phone

2:41:17 He says you know because your always ahead of the game you might be the inflection point where seventy five buck phone and there's not just that the only cheap android nine phone out there is a bunch about two or three months china are pretty cool looking at it have a lot of features. He says that it's possible that people would begin to realize, that you don't have to spend 200, 300 500 600 1000 $1100 for a functional phone. And by the way, a kicker? The back comes off and I could take the battery out. Very nice! Yeah yeah now how do you use said device? You use it only when you're going somewhere

2:42:04 I rarely use it, but if I'm going somewhere and need the navigator for example or if I'm worried that you know the car's gonna blow up. Or take it to the store sometimes they have to call back home and ask them what they want this brand of that brand? I mean I don't I seldom use it. I mean I don't use these phones constantly not constantly on it. I do most of my work off the phone. I'm not glued to this phone. You have discipline, you have old school discipline and... Yeah so i don't use the phone all the time now but this phone does, I can see anything it doesn't do including Pluto TV which these other guys can seem to get on their phones

2:42:41 It's just a great product and it's 75 bucks in it. I got a long battery life, it boots real fast. I don't do not see why anyone would pay more than $100 for one of these things. And a reminder that when it comes to being off the grid of course you still need to be able to function in normal life but the main thing is is to keep the tracking have you installed the privacy pro? It's called something different on Android No! I don't care I keep the phone turned off In a drawer. Right, but they still know... the Googles know exactly where you're going and what you're doing so they know which store your going to If I have the phone with me yeah they probably do Yeah But it's pretty rare Well doesn't it have anything cool? Pluto TV seems cool Alright

Zelensky begins by ingratiating himself. He expresses his interest in meeting with the president and says his country wants to acquire more weapons And what is the President's response? This is, The essence of what the President communicates We've been very good to your country No other country has done as much as we have But you know what I don't see much reciprocity here I hear what you want I have a favor I want from YOU though

2:47:57 And I'm gonna say this only seven times so you better listen good. Adam Shipp-shipp-shipp-shipp-shippo! I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of it.

2:48:36 Little pencil neck Adam Schiff got the smallest thinnest neck I've ever seen. I know you are but what am i? I know you are but what am I? Adam Schiff was caught in a pedophile trafficking ring somewhere in Los Angeles he has been highly compromised Adam Schiff is a stone cold stomp down liar I don't want to beat around the bush and say, oh he's being deceptive. He's being deceitful no no no i don't want to say that he is a liar that what he just did was a lie. I think it's immoral. I think it's unethical. I think it's unpatriotic and yes I think it's corrupt

2:49:23 A person with low EQ might say something to the effect of, everything is great. Right? Now let me give you an example what I mean there it might be that i'll say hey you've got that new job and everything's great with it right when I throw that word right on the end of it the implication is there's a certain way that I want to hear you respond I want you to tell me that things are going well and then if you come back and say, well it's not all that great. Then it makes you look like, well then your doing things wrong and your not getting the right reaction so your more of a negative kind of person. I am being positive right? It has a real subtle put down towards the person who might not give the correct response

2:50:10 It has a real subtle put-down, subtle put down, put down. Right! You're bloody well right. You got the bloody right to say... It has a real subtle put down. Right! You're bloody well right. You know you got the right to say... I don't care anyway The best podcast in the universe!
