About this episode

Donald Trump faces a global media firestorm and comparisons to Adolf Hitler following his proposal for a total shutdown of Muslim immigration. While NBC News and Tom Brokaw lead the rhetorical charge against the Republican frontrunner, a Bloomberg poll reveals that two-thirds of primary voters support the measure. Legal analysis of the Chinese Exclusion Act and Jimmy Carter’s 1979 Iranian ban suggests the executive branch maintains the constitutional authority to restrict entry for national security reasons despite claims of illegality from CNN and the New York Times.

FBI Director James Comey testified before the Senate this week, claiming that end-to-end encryption is a business model issue rather than a technical hurdle. Comey’s testimony regarding the San Bernardino investigation contradicted President Obama’s claims about the no-fly list, confirming the FBI is indeed notified of firearm purchases by persons on terror databases. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Ash Carter signaled a military expansion into Libya to combat the metastasis of ISIS, and DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson expanded the See Something Say Something campaign to encourage citizens to monitor the internet behavior of their own family members.

Katy Perry appeared in a bizarre UNICEF weather report to highlight climate change in Bangladesh, while Elon Musk used the COP21 summit in Paris to lobby for a global carbon tax that would benefit Tesla and SolarCity. The program also features a new audio jingle inspired by Stanislav Grof’s holotropic breathwork and a look at the technical failure of the Jeb Bush campaign to secure its own domain name. This episode was produced by Sir Black Ballz of Twit, Scott Brakel, and Robert Montoya.

Katy Perry, UNICEF Climate Change Weather Report

Katy Perry appeared in a UNICEF promotional video styled as a weather report to discuss the impact of climate change on children. The presentation features Perry in front of a green screen using stock music to highlight drought in California and flooding in Bangladesh. The footage is criticized for its production quality and its focus on using children to promote environmental narratives.

02:48 All right, since we had Katy Perry I think we should have you. All right at the moment it's a high tide and the mudflats have about an inch of water so they're covered. The following podcast contains content that may cause wet floors when played around cry bullies Now this may be from their tears, or it may be from their anal leakage. Listener discretion is advised." He's sending me the final batch we're done Oh no! Well I got enough to last us through uh March. March? Holy mackerel Quite a number of them Yes

I think we were pretty spot on with that." Oh, yeah. Well, that was a foregone conclusion. But they really went all in...pretty well. This was a good one. Now if we're gonna just start off with Trump, I don't know if I should... We might as well.

CHAPTER 03 / 50 Discussion

Donald Trump, Media Comparisons to Adolf Hitler

Media outlets and international politicians have intensified comparisons between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler following his proposal to restrict Muslim immigration. NBC News reporter Katie Tur is highlighted for her coverage of the backlash, while President Obama is noted for using specific rhetorical cadences to counter Trump's narrative. A Bloomberg poll mentioned in the coverage suggests that two-thirds of Republican primary voters actually support the proposed ban.

donald trump· adolf hitler· media bias· nbc news· katie tur

04:15 Well, this is the big news of the week. It's a distraction of the week I believe it was almost theme song worthy. Oh well not only that but it was a worldwide distraction! It wasn't just the US but we had the Brits getting involved and French getting involved. You know, the Brits have their nerve. Really? Who do they think they are? But okay... They can ban... They've banned a bunch of people! There's been a whole bunch of people that have been banned and you can't go there. But they haven't actually banned them, have they? Not yet. No. But they've banned the talk show host Michael Savage. I mean, people like that. Well, you haven't no free speech in the UK

05:03 No, not at all. None whatsoever! Yeah well then this Trump thing this Trump-Hitler thing also brought up again definitions of hate speech and what you can't rhetoric This rhetoric word is getting on my nerves. Yes, I'm glad we actually did that little discussion. We had a letter from a woman who studied rhetoric in the classic way and I think she teaches it. Do you have that in front of you? I do not. Yeah, I think so. It was a nice letter. Very nice letter. It's almost publish worthy. Maybe I'll just run it as an attachment to a newsletter. Oh there you go.

05:47 I understand the powers that be don't want a public that is able to reason something out logically. People who think logically don't buy new iPhone every 18 months, and this is the conclusion." This true! There are many benefits of having dumb public but I wonder if skillful use and application language can be considered form bullying? Yes! This...I like that alot about it uh..and this from um could we mention Vicky? Yeah Vicky Um there's a lot too that You know, all these big words people are always using. I think it's bullying not everybody but the people who are dumb we all know that and we have no school or stupid. And so they use big words. Katy Perry is our source of reference. Exactly. So yeah. Katy Perry said so well let me start with...I've got a bunch of stuff. I haven't..I have too much but i'm gonna make it entertaining

06:45 But let's start with the democracy now folks because she you know I'm sorry. Do we need to set it up just for a moment? I think maybe it's important to understand. I think it said okay Well, no We don't really have to we can just play the NBC clip which I think sets it up for us in a much better way than will ever do You got to help me yeah, you do have to help you I I don't see an NBC clip. There should be one in here. Oh, yeah. Trump's symbol of hate. This is this is one of the Katy turds hatred of Trump, she expresses it in a very subtle kind of mean-spirited way. But I have to say for Katie she looks a little better than before because she's getting a lot of airtime so she has gone off and whitened her teeth. Oh thanks to Donald Trump! She's on the move. It's such an extreme that they're like when she came over with her pretty smile it was like oh jeez! And when you see that stuff in high def it's so obvious

07:42 Yeah, whoo my here. She is Thank you the backlash is growing around the world tonight over Donald Trump's plan to ban Muslims from entering the u.s At least temporarily The Republican front-runner has touched off a firestorm with his controversial proposal NBC's Katie Turner reports Donald Trump isn't quieting down on his proposed Muslim ban. These are people that are outside of the country, so we're really not talking about the Constitution and it's not about religion this is about safety Forcing President Obama to subtly weigh in today Our freedom is bound up with the freedom of others He's doing that thing again With the freedom of others? He's doing that Martin Luther King cadence Freedom of others And by the way how has it bound up with the freedom of others

08:29 How is our individual liberties and rights bound up with anybody outside the country? That's a very good question. Again, he's bullying the public because we don't understand what he's saying. Regardless... of what they look like or where they come from, or what their last name is. Or what faith they practice." The country remained divided but according to a one-day instant poll Bloomberg found nearly two thirds of likely Republican primary voters agreed with Trump's ban What do you think the accuracies have one day instant poll? How does that work

09:07 There's no accuracy. Hello, what do you think? Okay thank you! Hello what do you think?! Okay thank you! Who is cutting off people heads!? Who is bombing buildings?? It's the Muslims!! The story of what his supporters... trust him to do is the untold story of this cycle and the reason they don't get as spun up as people in the media do or the Republican establishment does, is because they're looking at his character. Trump's proposal echoing around the globe today In the UK Parliament will consider a 300 thousand plus signature petition to ban the candidate from entering the country which has already banned 84 of what they call hate preachers Will the government lead by example

CHAPTER 04 / 50 Discussion

Trump Muslim Ban, Nuance in Official Statements

The specific wording of Donald Trump's official statement regarding a "total and complete shutdown" of Muslims entering the U.S. is examined. The analysis suggests that media reporting often omits the conditional phrase "until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on." This omission is characterized as a deliberate attempt by the press to remove nuance from the policy proposal.

donald trump· muslim ban· official statement· media reporting· immigration policy

09:46 I think it is. I think it is important to play this short clip of the actual words Donald Trump used because that kind of got lost pretty quickly. There's a nuance in there and he was reading from his official statement which is on the Trump presidential website. Donald J Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives

10:30 can figure out what the hell is going on. That's not exactly what it said, that what the hell is going on part but it was pretty close and the second part was immediately removed from all reporting It was kind of brought as Trump says ban all Muslims no nuance on how long or if there was a restriction. Yeah, well he actually went a little longer than that. Oh yeah it did. The second part where he goes what else can we do? What are supposed to do something like that I have it somewhere but I can't even find it the most important thing is that he said until dot-dot-dot but man people lost their crap on this Our leaders figure out what's going on now

11:18 Yeah, they went crazy. This is great because they had to do something But it was so collective was so immediate and that have the British Parliament and everybody weighing in it was wow that was impressive I Was very impressed by this by this takedown. It's damn good The best one was still Amy Goodman because she's a Trump hater, as most people on the progressive side would be. And so she did a long... I mean normally they do these quick snippets and it would have been a short piece like as normal but no, this is too important for that. So let's listen, I haven't divided up but let's listen to this and I have this Trump takedown on Deanne one and just listen to this

CHAPTER 05 / 50 Discussion

Democracy Now, Amy Goodman Trump Takedown

Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! produced a segment criticizing Donald Trump's proposal by comparing it to FDR's internment of Japanese, German, and Italian Americans during World War II. The segment features clips of various Republican rivals, including Jeb Bush and Chris Christie, condemning Trump's remarks. White House spokesperson Josh Earnest is also featured claiming that Trump's rhetoric disqualifies him from the presidency.

democracy now· amy goodness· pbs· donald trump· fdr

12:04 It's so bigoted, it is outrageous. And this is public broadcasting systems in the United States. Yeah, it's democracy now but... This was played on PBS The idea is this is an impartial...this is the good media. Impartial right? This is the good media! This is funded by viewers like you you, and Warren Buffett, Bill On ABC's George Stephanopoulos, Trump defended his proposal by comparing it to the detention of Japanese Americans, Germans and Italians under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt during World War II. What I'm doing is no different than what FDR—FDR solution for Germans, Italians,

12:59 You know, many years ago... So you're for internment camps? This is a person who was highly respected by all. He did the same thing if you look at what he was doing it was far worse Donald Trump Before we continue Yeah If I were consulting Trump i would say don't do these interviews on speakerphone It makes you sound like Mussolini Don't you know what I mean? Has kind of that old That old timey kinda It sounds like crap So you're for internment camps? I love that line. You're for internment camps, no just gas chambers! This is a president who was highly respected by all he did the same thing if you look at what he was doing it was far worse Donald Trump said his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States would not apply to US citizens His remarks were condemned across the political spectrum including by his fellow Republican candidates retired neurosurgeon

13:57 Surgeon, Dr. Ben Carson called it unconstitutional. South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham called it downright dangerous New Jersey Governor Chris Christie called it ridiculous and Florida Governor Jeb Bush called Trump quote unhinged Florida senator Marco Rubio tweeted Trump's habit of making offensive and outlandish statements will not bring Americans together unquote Texas Senator Ted Cruz rejected the proposed ban but praised Trump for quote focusing America's attention on the need to secure our borders unquote. Trump also faced criticism from the Democrats including White House spokesperson Josh Earnest The fact is that what Donald Trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as president What? And for Republican candidates for President to stand by their pledge to support Mr. Trump

14:48 That in and of itself is disqualifying. Donald Trump's critics also included St Petersburg, Florida Mayor Rick Kreisman who tweeted he would bar Trump from entering St Petersburg quote until we fully understand the dangerous threat posed by all trumps unquote I think we need to stop for a second before we continue with this little ditty here. How does this guy Josh Earnest think he can make the claim that you're now, you disqualified yourself? Where does it say that in the Constitution?" Well it's even better. Where does it say in the Constitution... In fact, it's quite the opposite. You know we have an act that allows the president to bar any aliens of any class into United States if you had HIV up until a year ago

CHAPTER 06 / 50 Discussion

Constitutional Legality, Presidential Authority to Bar Aliens

The legal history of presidential authority to bar specific classes of aliens is reviewed, citing the Chinese Exclusion Act and Jimmy Carter's ban on Iranians during the hostage crisis. The discussion argues that Trump's proposal is not unconstitutional based on existing statutes that allow the executive branch to restrict entry for safety reasons. Critics are accused of not reading the Constitution or the Bill of Rights before making claims of illegality.

constitution· bill of rights· jimmy carter· chinese exclusion act· immigration law

15:39 You're not allowed to come into the United States. It's a question on the form, and if you have HIV positive, you're not allowed to come into the states. This was just overturned a year ago. Just recently but another kicker is Jimmy Carter barred and banned Muslims from Iran during his tenure nobody bitched about that. We had Iraqis were not allowed to come in during George W Bush This dates back to the Chinese Exclusion Act. So this is something that we have a long history about... Which is still, by the way, still legal! The Chinese Exclusion Act has never been repealed Well it was by the Magnuson act as far as I understand My understanding says not true The Magnuson Act also known as the Chinese Exclusion Repeal Act Was put into

16:28 effect 1965 I think. But we agree on one thing is that it is not unconstitutional but how many times have we talked about American citizens like myself even coming into United States you are barred entry, you have no Fourth Amendment rights, they can search anything they want. You are not a citizen before you enter the United States! You're just not even if... And how about well let's go back and talk about Mickey? Oh she was sent back! She was sent back!! So how is this any different?!

17:05 Well, she wasn't a citizen of the United States. Of course. Neither are the Muslims who come floating over here? No I understand the thing that just bothered me is does no one read this thing it's not a big booklet this Constitution and Bill of Rights thing it's not complicated and the number of people saying it was unconstitutional was just surprising! That's even Carson who doesn't probably has never read it there were something else that Josh Ernest did about Trump Which there was this is quick to pardon and we'll get back. Yeah, it makes you wonder if Obama's trying gonna run for a third term Right Trump campaign for months now has had a dustbin of history like quality to it I love the dust being of history that said write that one down John that may be title worthy from the vacuous sloganeering

17:54 to the outright lies, to even the fake hair. Oh! The whole carnival barker routine that we've seen. Fake hair, carnival barker routine? This is an outrage! This isn't out and he got called on it by one of the reporters. expect to come from the Obama White House. I'm just curious, this was in your prepared remarks what was the thinking behind it? Yeah well i guess i was describing why it would be easy for people to dismiss that Trump campaign is not particularly serious What?! Oh yeah, the Trump campaign's not serious and then she has fake hair and he's a carnival barker

CHAPTER 08 / 50 Discussion

New York Times, Peter Spiro Propaganda Analysis

An op-ed by Peter Spiro in the New York Times titled "Trump's Anti-Muslim Plan is Awful and Constitutional" is deconstructed as a piece of propaganda. The analysis focuses on the use of the word "and" instead of "but" to linguistically link the Constitution with the word "awful." Spiro is identified as an internationalist whose framing suggests the Constitution itself is a problem.

new york times· peter spiro· propaganda· linguistics· internationalism

20:49 I don't even remember what my grammar school was. Why would you even do that? Because, I guess Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School is a big deal if you're like eight. Right right So this guy's a rube Well, it's disappointing. I wonder since we're still on the top of the constitutional part there was a huge editorial in The New York Times and i want to comment on that And they mean the one where they said uh... headline was Trump's anti-muslim plan is awful and constitutional Yes yeah that's the one Now let me talk about this as piece of propaganda Yeah good Uh..I did little research into the guy who wrote this Peter Spiro Yeah isn't he also a lawyer?

21:32 He's not only a lawyer, he is a big shot lawyer. He is probably the number one guy in dual nationalities and if you look into him, you find that he is an internationalist as far as he's concerned there should be...it should be one world government. He doesn't say that but it's pretty obvious. And he writes for this blog of these five or six lawyers that do this blog. It's called...what was the name of it? I can't...It's something anyway. It's called Opinion Juris or something like that. And it's plugged, this little essay is plugged in there. And the guy...let me read this. I wanted to briefly point out to our readers the smart op-ed in today's New York Times from OJ's own opinion jurists, let's name it. Peter Spiro was or Spiro on the constitutionality of Donald Trump's proposed ban on Muslim immigration in the US.

22:21 that contrary to many people's expectations, such abandonment would be constitutional and that's the problem. Okay? Now there are two pieces of very interesting and subtle propaganda here that I wanna deconstruct really quickly. The first thing is association. Using one thing and associating with another is kind of a way to convince the dumbed-down public, oh okay... The constitutionality, and that's the problem. Problem equals constitutionality. Oh yes! Okay it's now... The New York Times is worse. Trump's anti-Muslim plan is the headline you read a second ago, is awful and constitutional because of the nature of the debate. The proper word to use as a connective in the second sentence is but

23:13 So it would be Trump's anti-Muslim plan is awful, but constitutional. Not and constitutional! When you use and you're using it as a connective which means... You're connecting awful and constitution. And so what you've got here is the image for the one guy who says it's a constitution. If you break it down in the brain, the Constitution is a problem and if you take this guy's thing... I'm telling ya there are so many editors at New York Times that have written for him. You go through layers and layers. There's no way this headline gets in there and they and the editors always want to own the headlines of course

23:49 They made this headline and constitutional, not but constitutional which would have been more accurate in what you're trying to convey here. That's outstanding John! Although Spiro is an internationalist and this is one of the things he would be glad to do too which is get rid of the US Constitution it's a problem and its awful And it's interesting you say that. Tina actually brought up to me, because we were talking about the constitutionality and she said do you think that or she had the impression that a lot of people in America use the word constitutional not by the legal definition but by a discourse and kind of social agreement that we have? I think unfortunately that may be true

24:30 It could be. And you're kind of, this is all a part of...that analysis that's mind control! It's evil what they did there and it affected broth Yeah, the awful word affected both just before the president's speech. Thanks to you we'll get back to both of you soon much more of CNN special coverage leading up to President Obama's oval-awful and pompal office address The oval-awful? The awful-awful! The oval-awful! Awful-awful and pompal office address Oh god... The oval-awful, awful-awful oval-awful The oval-awful yeah But this was so big

CHAPTER 09 / 50 Discussion

Media Rhetoric, JK Rowling and Voldemort Comparisons

Author JK Rowling compared Donald Trump to the Harry Potter villain Voldemort, a move highlighted as an example of extreme media rhetoric. The discussion extends to progressive media figures like Tom Hartmann and Michelangelo Signorelli, who are accused of fostering "pure hate" toward Republicans. The segment argues that these media personalities have moved away from discussing policy to focus entirely on personal attacks.

jk rowling· voldemort· harry potter· media bias· tom hartmann

25:11 Well, Amy Goodman is the one who still cracks me up with this. The way she went into finding these obscure people... A lot of them are like, who cares what the St Petersburg Florida mayor thinks? And then he's doing the same thing Trump wants to do. He wants to ban all Trumps which I guess means Ivanka? Is that what he's talking about? All Trumps. I don't know, I don't know! Well let's continue this little thing with Trump takedown on Deanne part two. Author JK Rowling compared Donald Trump to the villain in her best-selling Harry Potter series tweeting quote Voldemort was nowhere near as bad unquote. I just have to stop for a moment and take that in

25:59 Is that outrageous? I think it belongs on Democracy Now! This is what PBS does. Oh man... In a series of interviews Tuesday, Donald Trump also falsely claimed there are areas of London and Paris that have become so quote radicalized the police are afraid for their lives he made the claim in an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe Paris is no longer the same city it was. They have sections in Paris that are radicalized, where the police refuse to go there—they're petrified—the police refuse to go in there. We have places in London and other places that are so radicalized… Here in France, where the far-right anti-immigrant National Front led by Marine Le Pen surged in Sunday's regional elections, French Prime Minister Manuel

26:48 tweeted quote Trump like others stokes hatred and conflations our only enemy is radical Islamism unquote now wait stop another little episode of mind control mm-hmm this was a gem She brings in Marie Le Pen. Yes, the radical far-right nutjob. Marie Le Pen. She's got no quotes from her... Who the French are voting for! The French like her I know they do. But listen to this, so she brings she drops her name's a name drop She drops the name in there as if it's got something to do with the Trump story It doesn't has nothing to do with the Trump story but she then interconnects Marie Le Pen with the French Prime Minister

27:35 Who has some anti-trump thing the front? He's not part of the business do it the pen no, but the way she does this It's almost legitimate. Yeah legitimize most people won't notice it But she and what she's trying to do here is do another connective where you have an association one with the other And what she's trying to say in the subtext is Marie Le Pen is a right wing nutjob and even she thinks Trump is crazy Do you think that? the way this is put together in this program, that it is completely intentional? No. It's just her subconscious... The underlying thinking... That's what I thought yeah In other words there are a lot of... sometimes it is, but I don't think this was But it might have been because its so off the wall

28:19 I mean, this could have been intentional. But it's just that the way they think... It's the thinking that scares me! It's already fully in place, this idea of a way to do this. It's almost like built-in. Like I was talking with somebody about again, I'll bring up a basketball analogy where some basketball players are doing stuff by instinct because they practice it so often and there is a lot of instinctual mind control going on. They don't even know they're doing it, but if they are so obvious, there's an overall kind of a meta theme happening or thing happening right now I was in the car couple times over the past few days and of course i'm listening to Sirius 127 progress the progressive channel with Tom Hartman

29:04 And Michelangelo Signorelli, those guys ran for three hours each I think and had it on for six hours. They're only... So they're not even talking about Democrats, democratic values are only talking about great... It's incredibly bigoted actually crazy Republicans nut job that's all they do not a single thing about let's look at rainbows and unicorns and whatever you know Democrat left wing want It's only about, it's just that is actual hate. Hate! Pure hate. It is true and genuine hate Tom Hardman, Thaum Hartmann when you watch him on television you can see in his eyes he squints his eyes and it is just

CHAPTER 10 / 50 Discussion

Southern Poverty Law Center, Frank Gaffney Hate Group Designation

A clip from a Muslim lawyer suggests that Frank Gaffney's Center for Security Policy will be designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in the coming year. This "slip" is used to argue that the SPLC operates on a political agenda rather than objective criteria. The SPLC is characterized as a wealthy non-profit that uses hate group designations to generate revenue and silence opposition.

southern poverty law center· splc· frank gaffney· pamela geller· hate groups

29:47 The hate is pouring out of him. It's just, wow! How do you get to that? Well there was another connection which and I learned something...something that i don't believe was supposed to come out just yet uh now trump in his statement focused on two surveys one by the Pew Research Center which I looked at the survey I couldn't find anything in at least what I saw to back up his claims But he also used the Center for Security Policy and that is run by Frank Gaffney. And Frank Gaffney is friends with, who's the crazy lady with the Muhammad cartoons in Texas? Oh right! By the way, she...Geller I think? Yeah Pamela Geller yeah She is banned from the UK

30:35 Well, of course. She's on the list so she can't go to the UK. So they have this discussion about some trumpets and there's this discussion about the source of Trump's information. Trump cited polling data from the Center for Security Policy that he said indicated dangerous levels of anti-American sentiment among Muslims in the United States The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups nationwide described the head of the center Frank Gaffney as as quote one of America's most notorious Islamophobes. Okay, but that wasn't all as this Muslim lawyer was I don't know if she was also on CBS she let something slip which i was surprised by Let me read some emails David writes... How is his NPR? So I'm all for tolerance and I unequivocally am disgusted by pretty much everything that comes out of Trump's mouth but I was taken aback

31:27 polls that showed a significant percentage of Muslims felt violence and terror attacks are justified on religious grounds. Let's go to you on this, Medea. We should mention by the way that Trump specifically referred to a poll of Frank Gaffneys which has been discredited so that half of Muslim Americans were in favor some way of violence? Yeah I think what is important to recognize is that Frank Gaffney and his group have been recognized by The Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group and, um... I'm sorry. They have not yet but they will be recognized as a hate group in the coming year." Oh! What did they have like a- WHAT? Did they have a beauty pageant or something?! And how does she know this?? Wow. This is an NG. That is an astonishing clip. I know. I was blown away because she clearly knows it

32:20 Yeah, and it's on their agenda. They got like they're they get their checklist is that a board me? What are we gonna do well I think a good time to do this would be you know just before the election or if he gets some figured out as a scam and in the Borderline clip of the day yeah, I'll take a borderline from UV it is The Southern Poverty Law Center is a non-profit organization that brings in $300 million dollars a year. You gotta wonder! Yeah, 300 million dollars a year... yeah no it's... yeah no I said it. Amen fist bump. Alright let's continue with your uh... They would have probably at this point the way they make their money

33:10 You want us to put them on the hate... And you know, their probably reason they haven't done it yet and she knows this is they're looking into the legality of getting their asses sued by somebody. Oh probably. For slander because there's no I don't know if there's any evidence that this that they were a hate group. There are so many groups on the hate group list. That outfit is nuts. All right, let's continue with your democracy now On to clip three of the Democracy Now! takedown of Donald Trump Meanwhile London Mayor Boris Johnson rejected Trump's claims about radicalization in London saying quote The only reason I wouldn't go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump he said Trump comments about Muslims come amidst increasing incidents of Islamophobia in the United States

Pig's Head Incident, CAIR Spokesperson Accents

An investigation was opened in Philadelphia after a pig's head was left at the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society. The coverage of this event by Democracy Now! is critiqued for its focus on Islamophobia. Additionally, a spokesperson for CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) is identified as the same lawyer who represented "Clock Boy" Ahmed Mohamed, and his rhetorical style is mocked.

33:59 In Philadelphia, the FBI and police have opened an investigation after a bloody pig's head was left at the entrance of a mosque. The pig's head was found Monday morning at the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society. Pork is considered forbidden or haram in Islam." It's it's forbidden or haram which is an Arabic word in Islam Does the does she mean that word is Islam nuts Arabic? Whatever I couldn't figure out. I'm not sure. I'm not sure all right I even saw a closed caption video of that event You see like a rusty old jalopy roll-up, so he was just throw the pigs head up

34:42 It looked like a jalopy. Okay, yeah through the pigs head off Let's come back this country does horse heads in the bed people come on get together So we have a so that she does by the way, she did two of these takedowns in a row and two different shows one right after the other. And they brought this I like my favorite parts where they bring in the care guy in people have been all over the news. Yeah, yeah, they get a lot of publicity got new agent. So the care people who are part of the Muslim Brotherhood We believe and I think it is no In fact, the clips I have It's the same

35:18 lawyer who represented Clock Boy is now the spokesperson for CARE. She's on all the time." Oh, this is a guy... Uh-huh? And I have this as the Claire Slamstrom. This was clipped out of one of these presentations and the reason I have this character—I don't have his name handy but it's because I think you should carefully listen to him because he has the great…one of the really great Arab kind of generic Middle Eastern accents that is just a pleasure to listen to. You want me to start emulating him? Yes. We're extremely shocked to hear Donald Trump calling for total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the U.S.. This is outrageous, coming from someone who wants to assume the highest office in the land. It is reckless and simply un-American

36:10 Donald Trump sounds more like a leader of a lynch mob than a great nation like ours He and others Are playing into the hands of Isis. This is outrageous by telling you this crazy this Donald Trump is Hitler he hitler I just really enjoy listening to that guy ah Little entremont go Christopher Buckley I who I'm indirectly related to. Yeah, you were used like your second well now he was the nephew in law yeah he was married to my uh to the eldest of the children in the Curry Greg clan Lucy and um you know a lot of bullcrap happened and then you know I think what happened is he wound up fathering a child with someone else and that was grounds for divorce anyway he can't he's out with a new book which

Christopher Buckley, Satirical Trump Inaugural Address

Writer Christopher Buckley, son of William F. Buckley, is discussed in the context of a satirical Trump inaugural address he wrote for the Wall Street Journal in 1999. A personal anecdote is shared regarding Buckley's early skepticism of the internet during a family Thanksgiving in 1992. Buckley is criticized for his perceived arrogance and for using his media appearances to plug his latest novel.

christopher buckley· william f. buckley· satire· wall street journal· internet history

37:07 And I need to tell you a little personal story about Christopher before we play this clip, just because he is family but he's an incredible asshole. And here's what happened when it was 1992 or three... William Buckley's son? Yes! Yeah yeah famous political family. Writing family really and this is 1992 and I'm up at Mead Road This is where the homestead and everyone's there and it's like Thanksgiving. I can't quite remember what it was. And I'm talking about the internet and he's a writer back in the day so you'll probably remember people who were like this. Oh, this is a great story! And he's like no one's gonna do this on the internet, no one gives a crap that isn't stupid it's stupid maybe America Online for this email thing but even email it's stupid this is not going to happen and he really put me down in front of the whole family visionary yeah the great visionary

38:00 and he apparently well listen to him on tapper and you can hear what kind of a hole this guy is you once envisioned what a Donald Trump inaugural address would sound like. You wrote this for the Wall Street Journal in 1999 when Trump was threatening to run, you inhabited the mind of Mr. Trump you imagine him saying many things including this quote It's not complicated. Missiles, very simple you aim one at us I fire a hundred at you so don't go there the idea of turning a country into a radioactive parking lot that doesn't bother me i sleep fine now Christopher you wrote that as satire 16 years ago how does it stack up against what your hearing on the campaign trail? If I may say so That reads pretty well The first line of Mr Trumps inaugural As scripted in that piece is

38:50 This is a great day for me personally. Well, maybe we will live to hear an actual Donald Trump inaugural but if we do I'm getting into a time capsule and going back to the 16th century which is the timeframe of my novel. Oh! As he plugs his book Places book nice move that guy's an a-hole. Oh, but actually I'm gonna see him in May good Yes kids getting married sound well you don't have to worry about him ever listening to this part But I'll just say hey remember that internet thing no I do Hey Christopher so good to see ya hey Remember remember that Internet thing? No I Just walk away from drop the mic who is that right okay?

Bataclan Suspect Identification, Homegrown Terrorism Narrative

French authorities identified Fouad Mohammed Aghad, a 23-year-old from Strasbourg, as the third suspect in the Bataclan music hall attack. The reporting emphasizes that all identified attackers were Belgian or French citizens. This is framed as a media narrative designed to suggest that immigration bans are ineffective because the threats are "homegrown."

bataclan· paris attacks· fouad mohammed aghad· strasbourg· homegrown terrorism

39:51 Now onward now we she went right from the and this is by the way She did that last little ditty and then she goes straight didn't and she never transitions from one story to the other you've ever watched This show. Yeah, she is they make it as like one store Well even had you've had clips where? She reads on from one story into the next and it's completely mind-boggling just much in boggling So she's go she goes into the run story to the next and after all this anti Trump rhetoric She goes right into this, this part four. It's odd I thought. Here in France authorities have identified the third suspect accused of attacking the Bataclan music hall in Paris November 13th 90 people were killed at the Bataclan 130 people were killed on the November 13th attacks overall

40:41 After all, the newly identified suspect Fouad Mohammed Aghad is a 23-year old from Strasbourg in eastern France. All the attackers identified so far were Belgian or French." Yeah that's also kind of lost. She goes right into that from the Trump thing and I'm thinking what's the hidden message? Well the hidden message...I finally listened to it when i was clipping as oh what she wants to say because it would be related to the Trump stuff They were from, even though this is like the you know people get all upset about this. They were all homegrown terrorists so stopping the Muslims from coming to the United States has nothing to do with it. It's dumb what there isn't make does not damn yeah

41:23 So that so on the next day or the day before that she did have this one. I want one more clip from her This is the random Trump slam just out of the blue another person She thought they dug up everyone They could have said anything bad about Trump and this one here was a little off-the-wall later award winning Nigerian American writer New Yorker magazine contributor Ted you Cole posted on his Facebook quote Trump is a dangerous clown But it's important to understand that his idea of banning all Muslims, scandalous as it is, is far less scandalous than the past dozen years of American disregard for non-American Muslim lives. No American president in the past 14 years has openly championed Islamophobia, but none has refrained from doing to Muslims overseas what would be unthinkable to do here to Americans of any religion," Teju Cole wrote.

CHAPTER 14 / 50 Discussion

Tom Brokaw, NBC News Retirement Commentary

Retired NBC anchor Tom Brokaw returned to the air to deliver a commentary against Donald Trump, comparing his proposals to Japanese internment and McCarthyism. The segment critiques Brokaw's transition from a supposedly neutral "meat puppet" news reader to an editorialist in his later years. The historical comparisons are dismissed as logically flawed and partisan.

tom brokaw· nbc news· mccarthyism· jim crow· media history

42:18 Alright, well I was kind of off the wall. You had to get the dangerous clown in there as a little... He said it! It was just a quote! I have two clips that I found interesting because they rolled out Tom Brokaw on NBC. Brokaw has been rolled out often yes and mostly as a Trump slammer Uh, here you go. Donald Trump's promise to ban all Muslims from coming to America is more much more than a shouted campaign provocation So he did not say temporarily notice this small oversight Trump statement even in the season of extremes is a dangerous proposal that overrides history the law and the foundation of America itself In my lifetime alone we have been witness to the consequences of paranoia

43:07 overriding reason. During World War II, law-abiding Japanese American citizens were herded into remote internment camps losing their jobs businesses and social standing while an all Japanese American division fought heroically in Europe At the same time, in Germany a regime that declared war on its own citizens if they were Jewish. And Germany paid the ultimate price defeat and history's condemnation But after the war America still had to learn about demagoguery the hard way Senator Joe McCarthy's reckless anti-communist witch hunt. All that while African Americans whose ancestors came here as slaves were treated as second or even third class citizens in uniform and out

43:54 Thank you, Tom. This is another I guess this shows the show of connections it is and makes a connection between McCarthy's anti-communist crap yeah And blacks who weren't living under Jim Crow under Democrats by the way in the south that does not connective That's not connective and I find it surprising that a veteran news man like himself wouldn't Step into that role He's come out of retirement just to do these hit pieces. Now on, what is this also? I'm just thinking about this... It's almost as though all those years of being a news reader, meat puppet or whatever they like to call them disparagingly

44:38 And you just say, I know because Walter Cronkite used to and another guy Howard Smith and some of these other guys that predate these modern guys. They used to...and Cronkite think he use to do it. He was the last guy who was allowed to do it on CBS at the end of some report he turned in the camera, you know, the way Jon Stewart kind of a joke turn into the camera and then editorialized. Right, right, right, right. Roca never was given that leeway now always thinks that he was just you know, chomping at the bit even though I'm sure that the people that own this network... And now he's in the twilight of his years on television? He can do that. Yes! Jump into it exclusively but iIm sure he was never allowed to do it because as you can tell by listening to him is not that good at it there was another guy who showed up on Hardball

CHAPTER 15 / 50 Discussion

Evan Coleman, Flashpoint Intel Terror Analysis

Terror analyst Evan Coleman appeared on MSNBC's Hardball to claim that Trump's rhetoric is putting American lives and military members at risk. Coleman, who runs Flashpoint Intel, is accused of "cashing in" on the war on terror by selling intelligence services. His claims about people surrounding mosques with assault rifles are questioned for lack of evidence.

evan coleman· flashpoint intel· msnbc· terror analyst· dark web

45:25 on MSNBC, but he is an NBC analyst. I think he's a terror analyst? I know what companies work for all mentioned that after we listened to this clip. I think this guy came the closest to what people really want to say about Trump who have been who have an agenda. Donald Trump is putting American lives at risk, he's putting American Muslim lives at risk because there are plenty of crazy people out there right now that are surrounding mosques with assault rifles. Oh really? Which is totally ridiculous! Wow! I haven't seen that but okay... Totally uncalled for. I thought the pig head was as far as they'd go. No, they're surrounding mosques with assault rifles. Have not seen it yet Because there are plenty of crazy people out there right now that are surrounding mosques with assault rifles. Stop stop

46:10 Right, I'm just guessing because i haven't heard anything after the assault rifles comment. Uh-huh? Right after that Matthews jumps in and says hey hey hey that's not true and you know it I'm sorry, I'm sorry. don't have access to Donald Trump so they want to take out their aggression on somebody else. You cannot say these things and still call yourself a friend to American diplomats or the US military you are making them into a target and they are the ones that are going to pay for these words it is totally

46:59 It is beyond the pale. It is extremely distressing if I was the family of a service member, I would be asking myself that question Why is Donald Trump putting my family member at risk and he is you think? I'll beg daddy over there somewhere in the caliphate such as it is is enjoying this Trump show Yes, the ratings are up. There's no doubt about it. No doubt about it! We've watched the chatter online. These folks love this stuff they love to watch us tear each other apart This is what they always had hoped for. This is what Al Qaeda has been talking about for years setting up concentration camps for Muslims barring

47:38 are are All of us, not just Muslims. It's insulting to everyone." So that was Evan... Do you feel like pushing a Frenchman off the curb because of something Le Pen said? No! But this in context of where this guy is from and what he does it interesting because he's a new puppet on the scene his name is Evan Coleman and he runs Flashpoint You can find it at flashpoint-intel.com Flashpoint illuminate the deep and dark web

48:41 Discover the critical missing data and intelligence you need to protect your company and customers from malicious actors operating in the unmapped regions of the internet. This is a guy cashing in on all this I would say. All right, but I thought he came pretty close too. Well, he's one of the worst. One of the worst I've heard and Chris Matthews journalist writer or whatever just lets it go I mean, where's the...I mean it just beyond me how people can be just like beside myself. Sorry. Beside myself? Oh there I am here! Come back come back not beside myself anymore. The thing that of all the things Donald Trump said his comments about the internet were disturbing to me

CHAPTER 16 / 50 Discussion

Donald Trump, Bill Gates and Internet Regulation

Donald Trump suggested that the U.S. should talk to Bill Gates about "closing up" parts of the internet to prevent ISIS recruitment. This proposal is criticized as technically illiterate, noting that Microsoft was famously late to the internet. The discussion points out that while the media mocks Trump, other government officials like FBI Director James Comey are also seeking ways to regulate or backdoor internet communications.

donald trump· bill gates· internet regulation· free speech· isis recruitment

49:34 For two reasons. You gotta stop calling them masterminds. Oh, this I thought was actually pretty good where he was calling the press out saying if you stop calling them masterminds if we believe that children look at the internet and think oh he's a mastermind I want to be a mastermind then you should uh stop doing that it's a valid concern and then he rolls into the internet thing which is disturbing These are dirty rotten scum who's our master mind Remember the guy in Paris with a big dirty hat? Remember the guy in Paris, the mastermind. I was watching all of them that were there and I won't mention who but some of them disgusted me The mastermind is on the loose! And we have kids that are watching the internet They're watching! And they want to be masterminds

50:19 And then you wonder why do we lose all these kids? They go over there. They're young, they're impressionable. They go over and they want to join ISIS and we have our anchors I think I got him mostly stopped Did you notice that? I don't hear it too much But they say the young mastermind Oh he's brilliant Young man He is brilliant! I don't even think he has a high IQ In Paris i called him The guy with dirty filthy hat Okay, not a smart guy. A dummy puts people in there. A mastermind being being big that's shooting everybody you got to be a mastermind so the press has to be responsible they're not being responsible because we're losing a lot of people because of the Internet and we have to do something We have to go see Bill Gates and a lot of different

51:04 that really understand what's happening. We have to talk to them, maybe in certain areas closing that internet up and somebody will say oh freedom of speech! These are foolish people we have a lot of foolish people. A lot of foolish people. We've got to maybe do something with the internet because they are recruiting by the thousands now I don't mind that he thinks it's shutting down... This is what they should have gone after Trump on Yeah, this is the ridiculous part. But they agree with him on this. And he's very amusing and he has to be a great guy I'd go listen to one of his speeches apparently it goes on for an hour like this just railing Well no-one is going to call him on that because this what Comey and Joe Johnson everybody wants to quote unquote regulate or shut down parts of the internet The most egregious part Is saying we need to talk to Bill Gates about it? Hello!

CHAPTER 17 / 50 Discussion

Holotropic Breathwork, Stanislav Grof and Jingle Production

A discussion regarding "holotropic breathwork," a technique developed by Stanislav Grof as a successor to LSD-based therapy, leads to the creation of a new audio jingle. One host recorded a breathing exercise that was then edited with theremin-like sounds. The resulting audio file is shared as a humorous response to the concept of psychedelic therapy.

CHAPTER 19 / 50 Discussion

Holiday Show Schedule, No Agenda Christmas Plans

The hosts discuss their broadcasting schedule for the upcoming Christmas and New Year's holidays. They reject a listener's suggestion to do a news deconstruction instead of a traditional "Clip Show," explaining the labor-intensive nature of the program. They confirm they will continue to produce shows through the end of the year to catch any news items slipped through by the government during the holidays.

podcast schedule· christmas· new years· clip show· listener support

1:04:14 Well, it's not Christmas on the 24th. No, it's not. And I believe we...I think we should! ...I believe we will be working on that day. Somebody tweeted me something saying instead of doing clip shows you should do deconstruction of news from the... You gotta...people have to get relaxed and listen to this letter. It's great. That's not a letter, that was a tweet. Yeah, okay. I don't know what he was thinking.

1:04:59 I think we make it look too easy. We do the Clip Show so we can take a little time off, not to do another show that's just kind of different. We're making it look too easy John this is no good And that would be the worst thing to do because if we could do a show at all then we would do the show! Of course! We wouldn't do a show from the 70s No I'm all in and I think we should definitely be doing these shows There's just too much happening at the end of year they are going to slip up all kinds of crap into you know how that works It's important The show that I think will be the dud will be the Sunday after Christmas There won't be anybody listening, we won't get any income at all. We could bump that one but we'll do it separately. No, it's the Sunday before Christmas isn't it? No, Sunday after Christmas. Is it Christmas on Friday? Yes I think so. Yeah well that Sunday is going to be dead! Well its good because then we can just save that one and rerun it next year no-one will know the difference. It wouldn't need to run last years.

1:05:54 Thank you very much, executive producer and associate executive producers. It's highly appreciated particularly this time of year where as John points out with a lot of the holidays people kind of forget to listen kinda forget the support but we love this support and it is appreciated And indeed Sunday will have another show and go to vorac.org slash N A Of course even during the holidays especially now yet to be out there Our formula is this We go out We hit people in the mouth Shut up! Yo yo! Alright. Okay, now you can go on with your... Uh I don't know well i do kind of want to get into the cyber stuff i think it's important

James Comey, FBI Encryption and Technical Literacy

FBI Director James Comey testified before the Senate regarding the challenges encryption poses to law enforcement, citing 109 encrypted messages sent before the Garland, Texas attack. Comey claimed that encryption is a "business model" issue rather than a technical one. The hosts criticize Comey's lack of technical expertise and his "tell" for lying during his testimony.

james comey· fbi· encryption· garland texas· tech sector

1:06:52 What do we have? So first, we have Comey. You've probably seen pieces of this people who've been watching certainly U.S news and probably not outside the US which I think it's important for our international listeners just to hear how this is being massaged. This three and a half hours on you know in the Senate with these questions it so obvious everyone knows what's going to be asked that's all scripted. It was very tedious I find to sit through it. And there's really nothing surprising but a few things we just need to highlight. In May When two terrorists attempted to kill a whole lot of people in Garland, Texas and were stopped by the action of great local law enforcement again that morning before one of those terrorists left to try and commit mass murder he exchanged 109 messages with an overseas terrorist. Like show me your titties baby

1:07:39 We have no idea what he said because those messages were encrypted and to this day I can't tell you what he said with that terrorist 109 times the morning of that attack. That is a big problem Nice sound effect John Yeah, that is a big problem. Exactly. How about this for a problem? Apparently one of the shooters or the main shooter I guess whoever although there's all kinds of new stuff coming out... We'll talk about that. Let's say the guy that was supposedly the shooter in San Bernardino I guess they had before we blocked the NSA, before he did all this stuff. The NSA had him...had all his phone calls. He was planning all kinds of stuff in 2012 and then they backed off. They know that they have on the whole backstory. Why didn't...? What good are these guys if they can't do anything about it? Well, I think that the way Comey...I'll tell you a couple things happening. First of all, Comey does not work for Department Homeland Security FBI is not...of course, they're part of it but their own entity

1:08:41 And this is an obvious failure on the... No, they're not part of it. They're part of the Justice Department. Yes that's what I'm saying they are not part of it. Homeland Security is its own department. That's what I am saying! They are not together. But you said they were a part of it? No, I said they were NOT part of it. Oh okay. They are part of everything thats going on but I said FBI is its own entity and it's not part of the Department of Homeland Security, Justice Department. Go. Okay Now Comey has to cover his tracks. I think this is why you keep hearing him say, oh you know they were radicalized way before! They've been radicalized before they even were humping that we how could we not because obviously they look really stupid

1:09:17 by not knowing anything, but if he says oh they were overseas that's not FBI's job you see. Then it's Department of Homeland Security so I think there is a little bit of rift going on here as well where Comey is trying to protect the FBI saying hey this wasn't really our issue but we'll take and talk about what we need to do with the internet and so of course he's talking to Bill Gates I guess everybody, he's a little longer clip As you mentioned, Mr. Chairman I do want to give you a very brief report in my opening about where we are with respect to the challenge of encryption to our hardest work, to our counter-terrorism work and to our criminal work as you said since we were last together We've had good conversations with the folks in the tech sector and lots of different parts of this great country of ours Pay attention everybody! And those conversations have convinced me two things which are both good news The first is that we care about the same things

1:10:07 The tech companies and the FBI, and everybody else involved in this discussion both care about safety on the internet. We understand that encryption is a very important part of being secure on the internet we also all care about public safety. We also all see a collision between those things right now. We see that encryption is getting in the way of our ability to have court orders effective together information we need it our most important work And we all agree, we have to figure out whether we can maximize both of those values. Safety and security on the internet and public safety that's good news We're not at war, we care about the same things No, we're not a war The second piece of good news is all those conversations have actually convinced me it's not a technical issue Right? Did you hear him do little right in there Yeah he has that little right Which means he's full of shit

1:10:58 That's his tell for lying. But also this gets very bizarre, he says it is not a technical issue This is very interesting and his lack of knowledge... Lack of knowledge in general I think of all these people Is flabbergasting that they are now going to make policy or push policy based on their fundamental lack of technical expertise Or anyone translating it for them Not a technical issue There are lots of folks who said over the last year so we're gonna break the internet We'll have unacceptable Hold on a second Everybody knows the only thing that can break the internet is Kim Kardashian. I don't know what he's talking about encryption insecurity if we try to get to a place where court orders are complied with I Actually think it's not a technical issue There are plenty of companies today that provide secure services to their customers and still comply with court orders Yeah, there are plenty of folks make good phones and are able to unlock them in response to an order And you should have said yeah, I love the new iPhone 6. He said folks who make great phones

CHAPTER 22 / 50 Discussion

Terror Watch Lists, Gun Control Contradictions

Barack Obama's claim that individuals on the no-fly list can buy guns without the FBI being able to stop them is contradicted by James Comey's testimony. Comey clarified that the FBI is indeed notified when someone on a terror database attempts a firearm purchase, allowing for investigation. This discrepancy is presented as an example of the FBI Director publicly correcting the President's misinformation.

terror watch list· gun control· barack obama· james comey· nics check

1:14:57 Encryption can be used within any context of any application like email would be a good one. You can use WhatsApp and they can unencrypt your point-to-point messages at Facebook if they want to, but if you encrypt your text with encryption there's nothing that you know unlocking the phone will not help anything no it is a way to get rid of his previous example he used earlier i think your first clip where he did start about two hundred and fifty messages from some terrorists are encrypted uh... belies what he's trying to accomplish without both examples to make that part of this problem easily and even more nefarious

1:15:38 what is going to happen? Because of course Silicon, everyone will be on board. Everyone will say okay well if there's messaging and you have a court order then we'll unencrypted for you on our end it's only going to be to the detriment of non-violent, non jihadist, non revolutionary citizens who will be spied on all the time it's not going to stop any... Until they can be blackmailed That is a very very hard question lots of implications to that We have to wrestle with it because of what's at stake I'm limited in what i can say at this point about Paris and about San Bernardino. Because you don't know anything? But let me give you a recent example, please. And then he goes into his nine messages now there was something that the president said in his big speech about people and I think we called it we said oh the big speech today it'll be if you're on the no-fly list you should not be able to buy a gun and that was one of the four points the president made so we were spot on about that

1:16:32 But this is very interesting what came up in this hearing about the FBI and the terror watch lists. Last week, our president stated that there are individuals who can't get on planes but they can go to a gun shop and buy a firearm and he said nothing we can do to stop them and correct me if I'm wrong, the FBI is notified when someone on a terrorist watch list attempts to purchase a firearm and a next check is requested. And the FBI has multiple avenues that they can pursue aren't these some of the tools available to the FBI to stop us suspected terrorists from buying a gun? Mr Chairman you're right there are variety of things that we do

1:17:25 when we are notified that someone on our known or suspected terrorist database is attempting to buy a firearm. The FBI's alerted when that, uh...that is triggered and then we do investigation understand are there disqualifiers that were aware of? That could stop the transaction and if the transaction goes through the agents who were assigned to that case to that subject are alerted to it so they can investigate. So the president was misinformed Yeah, sounds like it to me. Sounds like that's already been that way for a while. You know this Comey has got he does this constantly we've documented numerous

1:18:08 the contradictions with the president's policies that Comey has discussed. He brought these things out and it happens all the time, and this is just another example of it. I'm surprised...I don't even know if Obama's aware of this. No. Comey's not working apparently well with Obama And I felt he had kind of a sheepish look on his face like oh god Here we go again, the president's off base. I'm going to have to tell him but i can't lie! Here is Comey finally then because you know immigration although visas are issued by the state department immigration run by Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Patrol San Bernardino involved two killers

CHAPTER 23 / 50 Discussion

San Bernardino Investigation, Radicalization and Ballistics

The investigation into the San Bernardino shooting reveals that the perpetrators were radicalized as early as 2013, prior to their engagement. A discussion on the ballistics of the AR-15 rifle ensues, with questions raised about the nature of the injuries reported versus the expected damage from .223 caliber ammunition. The hosts express skepticism regarding the official narrative of the event.

1:18:48 who were radicalized for quite a long time before their attack. They were actually radicalized before they started courting or dating each other online." Why did he say that like that? Courting or dating each other online, bizarre! As early as the end of 2013 they were talking to each other about jihad and martyrdom... Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey Because I think there's a big discrepancy. You're right, something is going on with that. San Bernardino involved two killers who were radicalized for quite a long time before their attack They were actually radicalized before they started courting or dating each other online Now that's interesting because

1:19:32 He she came in on a k1 which is a Fiance visa. It's kind of a strange one I've never used that one abuse other other ones to bring my women into the country. Uh, I think he's Trying to say the Department of Homeland Security screwed up They should have known if they were going to get married and they were radicalized before They started doing you know courting online Then Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Patrol should have caught that in the interviews or whatever else they're supposed to do. I think he's throwing to someone under the bus, yeah DHS as early as the end of 2013 They were talking to each other about jihad and martyrdom before they became engaged And then married and lived together in the United States Hey, well guess this refers that 2012 episode where yes? And we called it We called it again

1:20:30 Again, investigators say surveillance video shows the couple's SUV in a nearby mall. A couple of days before the shooting it is unclear what they were doing there as for the inland regional center behind me well two other buildings are going to remain closed at least through the end of the year building where the attack took place is gonna remain closed indefinitely It will be burned to the ground Why? The same reason the reporters ever ask why. Yeah, do they ever... What? Because they shot some holes in a... By the way somebody made a point one of their conspiracy sites that if you're using AR-15s or what's also referred to as an M16 by the military and they were using AR-15 which is very powerful gun nice product If your shooting people with that it's

1:21:25 It's like the .223 shell on a huge... Have you ever seen one of these cartridges? This bullet is the bullet that if you get hit in the head with it from one of these rifles, it blows your head off. Is that not dependent upon the type of ammunition? If you have the tumbling ammunition that...? Yeah, the tumbling would be what you want but these guys are terrorists they're gonna use this sort of ammunition I don't know whether to use this, that's why I'm asking But even so Even the non-tumbling. My understanding is that 223 will tumble whether you like it or not, but no matter what this gun does not produce small bullet holes that you would be taking to the hospital with. At some point it would blow your arm off!

1:22:09 Yeah, so but it's really the ammo. It's not the... Well yeah if you have a dud ammo in there but if you have the full shell of one that you use in that gun I'm not sure you're right about that. I'm not sure you're right Our gun people out there will correct you A lot of gun people have been correcting you and I kind of tend to stay back because they don't know enough about it But a lot of our listeners know a heck of a lot about this Oh we've been corrected sure The chat room is saying... But this is, no. There's no way you're gonna be shot with that gun and you're gonna have a little bullet hole. Well I've seen no evidence, I've seen no pictures, I have not seen anything. Well I think we documented that there were all these injured and where did they go? They put a band-aid on it because we only can account for four to nine people

CHAPTER 24 / 50 Discussion

Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau, State Department Visa Screening

State Department spokesperson Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau defended the visa screening process following the San Bernardino attack. Despite the failure to detect the radicalization of the female shooter, Trudeau maintained that the multi-layered security process, including fingerprints and interviews, remains robust. The hosts mock the repetitive and defensive nature of the State Department's briefings.

elizabeth kennedy trudeau· state department· visa screening· homeland security· fingerprints

1:22:58 at the hospitals by the reports that came out. I don't care, seriously, i don't care... No, no, I know what you're saying. Yeah it's what is being done with this sort of thing is going to happen over and over again Oh yeah we have more people coming out saying there were three white guys who shot up but it doesn't matter its about being done with it that is important Here's... now the State Department, of course. Under the gun! How could you give this woman a visa to come into the country? And they brought out... so now they have Elizabeth Trudeau We've talked about her before. Tell me again Yeah I don't remember. Elizabeth Trudeau There was something about her that we had Oh she is a Kennedy there ya go That's what she is She's a Kennedy

1:23:50 Yeah, Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau. And she is now the third in line to be the spokeswoman for the State Department I think that no one just wanted to deal with it as a hey Elizabeth great news you're going to be doing the briefing today! All of our visa screening process go through multiple layers of security including fingerprints face-to-face interviews the the the state department remains committed to the security of the homeland. We are processed, we continue to revise, we continue to look at this but these are process that happens around the world every day in our US embassies and while we won't get ahead of this investigation

1:25:03 process that these applicants go through continues to be improved. It was improved after 9-11, something that we look at every day. But at this stage you know... We stand behind those processes. So just to put a fine point on it can you say with absolute confidence that no one dropped the ball in this case? At this stage I have no information that indicates some. Okay good work! Then no one... Well i have an ISO clip that would maybe relate to this. The TRMP Muslim ISO. Donald J Trump is calling for a total and completion... No, no that's not it. Never mind. That's an ISO? Yeah I know it's what I don't know this isn't the one I was looking for let me look at the other ones well while you're looking nevermind go on go on the joke has ruined

1:25:51 Wait did I ruin it? I did. I ruined it by calling out the wrong ISO the eyes so I wanted was ice Oh, it's the Muslims okay. Who's cutting off people's heads whose bombing buildings. It's the Muslims I'll put that into there and that's a good one though hold on it's the Muslims Just briefly on On the guns again here's what I understand about ar-15 slash m16 The idea of that weapon is to if there's multiple people coming towards you, you want to injure the enemy in such a way that their partners will either have to tend to them or drag them along because it does cause sufficient damage. And I believe that's with the tumbling of the bullet. That's all I know. Well, I'm sure we'll get 1 million emails John at Dvorak dot org because I stayed out of it. You recall on The Sunday Show

CHAPTER 25 / 50 Discussion

Barbara Boxer, Gun Control and Traffic Deaths

Senator Barbara Boxer is criticized for her rhetoric regarding gun control and her oath of office. Boxer claimed that if any other cause killed 30,000 Americans annually, the Senate would take immediate action. The hosts point out that automobile accidents kill approximately 33,000 people a year, yet there is no comparable legislative urgency to ban cars.

barbara boxer· gun control· traffic fatalities· senate· second amendment

1:26:48 I played you the clip of Barbara Boxer about the oath of office that she takes. I'm going to play that again just because it was so fun. No, when we take an oath of office, we swear that we will protect and defend the American people which is not what she swore too. It's uphold protecting uphold and defend the constitution now In that same clip, and I was alerted to it by one of our producers in that same speech where she's talking about guns. Of course guns need to be removed, guns are dangerous we can't have guns and i think this really fits right into what you're always saying about guns and the actual danger that we have If there was anything else that caused the death of 30 000 Americans here

1:27:36 Every single senator would be in their chair and we would be demanding action, and we would be crossing over party lines to stop it. Q John! Wow what she's described is automobile accident deaths which are in excess of 30 thousand a year I think the last number was 33 yeah which is another dubious number but I always say 40, but it's because it should traditionally about 40. But it's been down recently because of safety features in the newer cars. But yeah, so see that they're up in arms about it? No, she needs to be voted out. She said these this woman is an idiot and she's not right there something wrong with her. It's the same with Feinstein. I don't know what's wrong, but if you tell me what's wrong with California to keep reelecting these boneheads... That's really the point

CHAPTER 26 / 50 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Benghazi Email Revelations

A newly released email from Jeremy Bash to Hillary Clinton's State Department colleagues on September 11, 2012, indicates that military forces were "spinning up" and ready to deploy to Benghazi. This contradicts previous claims that no forces were available to assist during the attack. The hosts argue that the media is ignoring this story in favor of the ongoing "Trump is Hitler" narrative.

hillary clinton· benghazi· judicial watch· jeremy bash· emails

1:28:33 Here's California, big liberal state. Everyone is a big liberal. Oh we're liberal, liberally and everything is Democrat so the whole Democrat State they are offered way before Colorado Washington Oregon the rest of them the opportunity to legalize marijuana Big Liberal State everyone's a big liberal and they voted down! Can't have that How does that work? can't have that A lot of this Donald Trump stuff, I'm pretty convinced is related directly to obfuscating some new information that came to light which should have had the jingle ready. New information has come to light? Yeah! New shit...new information what does it say? New Information Has Come To Light Man! Something like that and this is okay so there was a new sloth emails that came out

1:29:27 Hillary Clinton emails and I have not heard anything about this. I found the article on Judicial Watch. Oh yes, this is true. I heard some stuff but it has been buried. Yeah so there's an email on September 11th from, here it is. State colleagues this is from Jeremy Bash and it's sent to the whole everybody the admirals the whole deal September Tuesday September 11th state colleagues just tried you on the phone but you were all in with S that is a reference to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the time after consulting with General Debsie General Hamm and the joint staff we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi they are spinning up as we speak they include and then there's a piece that's redacted

1:30:10 Assuming principals agree to deploy these elements, we will ask state to procure the approval from host nation. Please advise how you wish to convey that approval to us." So here is not only proof that they were ready to get teams in there to go do something about it but it was obvious that there was a terror attack and this is spelled out an email! And this is not being discussed because Trump's Hitler Yeah, exactly. You don't want to say anything but Hillary's our shoe and she's our girl and we can do anything about it you know? We can talk about this I also don't think anyone in America cares anymore. They've successfully... Well the Republicans care or they claim too Yes they claim to. I think the military cares. I think they're irked about how that went down. I'm pretty sure

1:30:55 Yeah, I think a lot of military guys were irked about the whole thing. Probably a few and especially when they shuffled all those guys out to the middle of nowhere you don't even know where they are that witnesses there all been scrambled. The whole thing was just a joke. I think we had it right from the beginning and it's just the way... It's going to be one of those lost history things only somebody picking up at old no agenda show either sometime in the year 3010 trying to listen to it. 3010? Guys talk funny. Hey, I finally got the list of the 65 nations in our global coalition. Really? Yeah! The State Department has it. Everybody's on board... Albania, Arab League, Australia, Austria, Kingdom of Bahrain It's in the show notes so none of these people are- What is Poland doing? Nothing. What is Latvia doing? Why should they do anything? They're in the coalition

CHAPTER 27 / 50 Discussion

Ash Carter, Libya and ISIS Metastasis

Defense Secretary Ash Carter discussed the "metastasis" of ISIS into Libya and the need for further military action in the region. Carter's use of medical metaphors to describe the spread of terrorism is criticized as a rebranding effort to justify continued intervention. The discussion suggests that Libya is being prepared as the next major conflict zone under the guise of fighting ISIS.

ash carter· libya· isis· syria· metastasis

1:31:51 Yeah, great. What is even Somalia? Turkey? Ukraine? At least I have it. You solve the mystery! Yeah yeah it exists just names on a piece of paper but it exists Ash Carter now I was going to mention this but then Ash Carter brought this up so he's kind of doing it for me Since we were quite able to move weapons from Libya into Syria, it's extremely logical to think that you could move people through that same route. And considering that the coalition of the 65 countries is somehow complicit in working the ISIL guys

1:32:33 I think that Libya is going to be the next place that will be completely rubble-ized but will be blamed on ISIL, ISIS. It's already rubble-ized! But now they need... because yeah we did that We rubble-ize it but if you bring in ISIS then we can blame in on ISIS You see then you remove the whole Benghazi thing by focusing on ISIS and ISIL in Libya Here's Ash Carter. Sleight of hand or the switcheroo? The switcheroo. I described and i think we need to be concerned about, we've talked about metastasis to the homeland that we've talked about the necessity... The cancer! ...of getting the parent tumor but we have not discussed...

1:33:28 You're killing me, Ash. You're killing with your metaphors." We have not discussed as much the necessity of going after ISIL elsewhere I mentioned Libya we took out its leader in Libya and were gonna have to do more in Libya. ISIL is becoming a magnet for groups that previously existed in some cases, who that are now rebranding themselves as ISIL. Does he actually sit down and write that or say this and believe that they're rebranding? You know, oh we need new letterhead! Ah man we need a letterhead! Yes... He must change his shirts too And the sign on the door

1:34:10 But it's worse than that because they're also gaining energy from the movement in Iraq and Syria. Gaining energy? How does that work? Why we need to destroy in Iraq and Syria, but this is a worldwide phenomenon And I've talked to leaders recently talking to some Southeast Asia actually about many things but one of the things they raised is concern about uh little patches of ISIL and self-radicalization. Oh hold on John, it's a little patch of ISIL! I can't get it off my leg. Patch of ISIL. Christ is concerned about little patches of ISIL and self radicalization... Actually he's not lying those groups are being rebranded to ISIL by this guy

1:35:00 These are the people that are doing the rebranding. He's actually telling the truth, I think they are rebranding and the US security and Military services are doing that for us at least people who are running it like this Oh you mean so Drew you think drew beat dog is a responsible for the branding? Yeah, he just did it! He just said those groups over there though all these different names just call him ISIL Oh, okay. Good. ...out little patches of ISIL and self-radicalization of the kind that we find so in the internet age and those in the social media age terrorism doesn't have any geographic bounds So I think we have to recognize it while we need to attack it geographically on the ground In Syria and Iraq that is necessary It's not sufficient Okay, so these people... I got an ISO for that

CHAPTER 28 / 50 Discussion

Congressman Michael McCaul, Homeland Security Threat Environment

Congressman Michael McCaul, Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, declared that the U.S. is in the highest threat environment since 9-11. McCaul described 2015 as a "watershed year" in the war against ISIS, which he labeled the "new standard bearer of evil." The segment also notes that DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson is considering re-implementing a color-coded terror threat level system.

michael mccaul· homeland security· san bernardino· terror threat· 9-11

1:35:50 What he just said. Oh, okay hold on let me open it up then. Iso AJ is on! Ha ha oh boy here we go It is on folks it is on it is on ow this shit kicking off it is on These are these people are the terrorists We've known that since the beginning of this show. But I need to add... We're on eight years! Yeah, I know. The head terrorist now is from Texas. I can't stop-I'm obsessed now with this guy because he's a dick. Congressman McCaul, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee spoke at the National Defense University or whatever that is.

1:36:38 Then he went on for half an hour and a Q&A, and he is terrorizing you. Today we are engaged in another generational struggle And this year was a turning point. Just last week terrorists struck again on American soil, attacking our nation from within and committing their deeds in the name of ISIS – the new standard bearer of evil. Make no mistake we are a nation at war. Our own city streets are now the front lines. Indeed San Bernardino was not an isolated event. For far too long, we have allowed extremists to reclaim their momentum surging from terrorist cells into full-fledged terrorist armies as a result I believe the state of our homeland is increasingly not secure and i believe 2015 will be seen as a watershed year in this long war This is not a terrorist group on the run it is a terrorist group on the march yeah

1:37:39 I believe this leadership void has put the United States homeland in the highest threat environment since 9-11. And Judd Johnson also said that he would be coming out with a new, we did away with the terror threat levels and he's going to come back now and then were going to re implement that Which should be fun with an extra stage? Yeah, when what do you say like an intermediate stage or something something I thought it had The funny thing was that there's this all clear stage blue That has never been used ever we're never but never happy also gonna. Why even have it and then Andrea start with things are bad I think this is Andrea Mitchell who and again. I'm just going to say we offer a

CHAPTER 29 / 50 Discussion

Jeh Johnson, See Something Say Something Campaign

DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson and media figures are encouraging citizens to report "strange" behavior by relatives or children on the internet. This expansion of the "See Something, Say Something" campaign is compared to the NSB collaborators in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands. The rhetoric is characterized as a dangerous push for domestic surveillance within families and religious communities.

jeh johnson· see something say something· mta· snitching· surveillance

1:38:25 We offer the license. We are ready for you." You're saying it so many times, and I will play it after this bit from Jeh Johnson. I also said to the Muslim community now I have an ask of you if you see something say something If you see something say something to law enforcement To a community leader or religious leader So we need to continue do that Mr Trump's proposal is a setback that takes us backward in the opposite direction. This is what we have to do for our homeland security and so I believe that I have to speak out when a major candidate for office suggests such a thing. We've been hearing, when you see something say something now for more than decades and let us remind everybody it is a trademark of the Manhattan Transit Authority and anyone who's using it has by license I think they have to pay for as well this is a well-established slogan for more than decade since 9 11 and its become catchphrase but what really means

1:39:26 Not just a suspicious package. If you see a relative begin to act strangely, and if you see that your child is on the internet... You have to ask yourself should I talk to the authorities or should I protect my child? Wait wait wait! If you see your child's on the internet should i talk to the authorities yes That's what she said yeah Wow. If you see a relative begin to act strangely and if you see that your child is on the internet... I am so doomed! Everyone's gonna be ratting me out Yeah, it's called NSB. This is what they were called in World War II I think was the Nationalistische Soziale Bund or something like that? The NSB-ers that's what they call them in the Netherlands and it still to this day used as a if you're a snitch If your horrible person collaborating with the Nazis You've got to tell them about something. I saw something very suspicious This...this is rhetoric That is dangerous

1:40:29 Your relative. Hey, my relatives looking kind of crazy My kids on the internet. You have to ask yourself should I talk to the authorities or should I protect my child? It's you're asking something of Muslim Americans, Muslim families To report to law enforcement about their families their colleagues their fellow attendees at the mosque and to ask them that once you have a leading Republican candidate vilifying all Muslims is asking perhaps too much If you see something, say something. He's not vilifying all Muslims but okay let's just go with it But the see something say something thing and rat on your relatives and yo he could be crazy for kids on the internet oh my goodness this is bad these are terrorists these people are terrorists yeah I agree with that It's creating a air of extreme illness we might as well continue with um... I thought this was fabulous

Robert Dear, Planned Parenthood Courtroom Outbursts

Robert Dear, the suspect in the Planned Parenthood shooting, made several outbursts in court claiming to be a "warrior for the babies." Dear accused his public defender—the same lawyer who represented the Aurora theater shooter—of trying to silence him with psychotropic drugs. The segment highlights Dear's demand for a preliminary hearing and his refusal to be declared mentally incompetent.

robert dear· planned parenthood· colorado springs· aurora shooter· psychotropic drugs

1:41:30 So we have the guy, it was Richard Deere. The Planned Parenthood shooter and he's in the courtroom now the headlines everywhere read that he confessed but of all the audio and video this guy has some very interesting things to say which I believe we should look at or listen too No, never is there a piece of video or audio available where he says I did it. I killed him although that is the headline strange and there's a lot of video and audio I think I got this from the Larry O'Donnell show The reason I got it from there is because He had Lawrence not Larry Lawrence Me who was going to have Cecile Richards on? And I was interested in that and I don't know if everyone has heard all of the different pieces

1:42:22 Of this of deer in the courtroom, but I'd like to just go through it and analyze a couple things He's hearing the court dear in the courtroom de AR That's his lawyer and he's yelling at his lawyer or what? He thinks is not as lawyer babies So the his lawyer is asking for certain documents to be sealed and this guy's saying hey seal the truth are you crazy?

1:43:08 And this is true. This is the same attorney who represented the Aurora shooter Well, that's an odd coincidence. And this guy is saying hey he and he drugged them all up This is crazy He's the same lawyer don't think that the presumption should be that everything has posted But nothing is posted You'll never know what I saw in their clinic atrocities That's what they want to see you babies on a house with no toilet

1:43:50 Now people may be saying he's crazy, which there are some strange things. I don't understand the gray beard and the dark hair if you're living in a trailer are you still dying your hair because your vain or? It is very uncommon for someone to have a gray beard and no grey hair on top That is uncommon. It's a good catch, yeah I don't believe this guy is crazy per se but when someone says I'm in a cell with no toilet no water please call Amnesty International...I think the judge actually has a duty to look into that but he's being written off as nuts by this public defender who he has just given who doesn't want to be his lawyer as we continue

1:44:42 begin to make a determination about the nature or the death of Mr. Deere's mental illness until we receive full disclosure, we have serious concerns about- They're just calling him nuts! His own lawyer is saying he is mentally ill and he's saying no I'm not. You're not my lawyer you said? He didn't say that! In this case if we could somehow get that important information to us first it would expedite the process and would and we would move the process forward, and we would not be asking for any days. It's unreasonable judges.

1:45:18 Now he's talking psychotropic drugs, which leads me to believe he may be listening to Infowars. Which is possible and if anything he wouldn't be crazy. He would be radicalized by well the rhetoric which we'll get to but this next piece, which I Which he which Lawrence O'Donnell played after a Cecile Richards interview? I had not seen anywhere and it's interesting what comes up here

1:46:07 hearing within 35 days from the filing of the charges or you can waive your right to have that hearing within 35 days. I don't know if you can hear it but the judge is saying, You have a right to a preliminary hearing within 35 days or you can waive your right to that hearing. Oh i want the right! I want the truth to come out there's a lot more to this than me going silently into the grave So he's saying, I want the truth to come out. I don't just want to be led silently into the grave and what turns out is his attorney or with one that has been assigned to him has waved... wants to wave his right to a preliminary hearing The judge correctly is asking the defendant if he wants that A lot of things they don't want it to be known Planned Parenthood and my lawyer are in cahoots to shut me up because they don't want the truth out Just listen for a moment okay

1:46:58 You in fact have a right to have a preliminary hearing within 35 days from today. Your attorney is not requesting a preliminary hearing within that 35 days, is that okay with you? No! Do you wish to have it? Yes! Within 35 days? I want everything as soon as possible Alright So that is not going according to plan, I guess. He's saying he does want the preliminary hearing We'll see if that is going to be a public hearing like we've seen other hearings or not If it's meant to be somewhat obfuscated This is outrageous And and uh...I think its the end of this uh let me see I think it's the end of this first clip He actually says again they drugged up the Batman shooter he was like and you can't really see what he's doing in audio Let me see if I can find here at the end

1:47:47 right around here. "...and I'm not gonna agree to their mental health evaluations when they want to take me and put me under psychotropic drugs so that i can't talk like the Batman guy." Yeah, he says, So I can't talk like the Batman guy? And the Batman guy... They doped him up! The Aurora shooter. Yeah we saw that. The photos indicated it. So packaged in between this he brings on Cecile Richards who Now, she is so good. She has for this now of course this appearance and it's all very sad you know people were killed in Planned Parenthood but she's so media savvy! She's very little makeup, she has a very little jewelry, um...she had a lot of bare skin arms uh neck very innocent beautiful innocence not a power woman type move and well you can kind of guess what where she was going to take this

CHAPTER 31 / 50 Discussion

Cecile Richards, Political Rhetoric and Abortion Providers

Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards appeared on Lawrence O'Donnell's program to blame political rhetoric for the attack on the Colorado Springs clinic. Richards called on politicians to "think long and hard" about how they discuss abortion providers. The hosts interpret this as an attempt to stifle free speech and demonize political opposition to Planned Parenthood.

cecile richards· planned parenthood· rhetoric· free speech· abortion

1:48:47 regarding rhetoric. I just think it's so disturbing to hear this kind of hateful rhetoric, this is the kind of hateful rhetoric though unfortunately we do here from protesters and sometimes a rhetoric we hear from politicians. So what this guy just said... Oh she had to throw that in? But what this guy was saying, oh that's exactly what we hear from politicians. Yeah Donald Trump. Yeah but they yeah... I think everyone really has to think long and hard about how we demonize women and doctors who provide abortion services at organizations as well

1:49:25 This is just not what America wants to see. Yeah, it's a good point this is you do hear a lot of these same Words and ideas coming from protesters you hear them at political conventions They're there as people go in and out and I've heard that been around Planned Parenthood Operations where I've heard them doing exactly home We're pleased we work with law enforcement about this but I do think it's really important for politicians to to think long and hard about the ways in which they talk about doctors providing legal abortion services to women in America, and of the women nearly 3 million patients who come to Planned Parenthood every single year. Shut up slave! There you go that's how we start with stifling your free speech That was sly It was good Yeah it's sad The rhetoric man its just the rhetoric the rhetoric the rhetoric it's all about the rhetoric

China-Africa Cooperation, Non-Interference Policy

President Xi Jinping announced a massive support package for 50 African nations during a forum on China-Africa cooperation. African leaders, including Robert Mugabe, praised China's policy of non-interference in internal affairs, contrasting it with Western diplomatic approaches. China is currently Africa's largest trading partner, with over 3,000 Chinese companies operating on the continent.

china· africa· xi jinping· robert mugabe· trade

1:50:23 An interesting thing that passed under the just kind of never got played at any news outlet which is going on in China. This is the China... Now, this was a horrible report because I got it from NHK which is Japanese and they're reporting where we stand with the Chinese and Africa so it's hard to understand this joker but The Chinese, while we're fooling around with all this stuff the distractions of the week. The Chinese continue marching marching marching in Africa. President Xi announced the support package to leaders of 50 African countries as a forum on China-Africa cooperation

1:51:09 He drew applause when he said China would not interfere in internal affairs on the continent. We've been treating each other equally and sincerely, and have worked together for win-win cooperation and joint development. Many African leaders are embracing Beijing's growing influence. Our relations go much deeper than the extraction of resources. We are committed to strengthening the current and multifaceted and multidimensional relations." China is Africa's largest trading partner. Xi said his country will boost its investment, despite its slowing economy

1:51:58 Private enterprise is following his lead. More than 3,000 Chinese companies have African operations This lighting equipment farm in the southern Guangdong province is extending its sales network in West Africa Vera Deng flies to Africa almost every month. Her company exports LED and fluorescent lamps from China, and it now has a factory in Nigeria We've been particularly successful in Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Cote d'Ivoire. Yeah, Ebola plays a good role. Good work on bringing us Ebola Chinas. Well whatever they did we know what was really going on there to get the Chinese out of there yeah

1:52:56 But this went on and on. It was a long report, and they're just indicating the closeness between the Chinese and Africans. And the main thing it was very early on Mugabe and other guys were there saying that we've agreed that the Chinese will not get involved in our internal affairs which is the key to success in Africa. Yeah. And it's what they always promise though... They always promise. Again none of you guys want to be a bunch of bastards? We don't care! Maybe unlike us. I'm thinking maybe it's time for a little update on the On my ongoing conversation with the professor oh Started from this dinner party aboard this podcast the mate was a mighty lucky

CHAPTER 33 / 50 Discussion

Second Amendment Debate, Civics 101 with a Professor

A host recounts an ongoing debate with a Stanford professor regarding the Second Amendment and the Supreme Court's DC v. Heller decision. The host argues that if the public truly wants gun control, they should seek to repeal the Second Amendment through the Article 5 process rather than reinterpreting it. The professor's lack of basic civics knowledge regarding the amendment process is highlighted.

second amendment· gun control· dc v heller· constitution· supreme court

1:53:49 Yes, the professor from Stanford. The brain professor. He continually finally got back to me on the issue of the New York Times editorial board where I said to the professor posting publicly or whatever to friends however that works About well, I said why? Actually go back to the beginning of the thread. Adam I think you have some reasonable limits without repealing the Second Amendment just as safety considerations can trump First Amendment considerations so should they for the Second Amendment as well. I said wide limits Why not repeal and make it a licensed privilege The first amendment doesn't kill human beings that comparison is moot interesting that you are defending the second amendment

1:54:35 That fried him for a couple days. Yes, that was your kind of comment just to rile him up? That was done on purpose by you! It's all on purpose it's all for the show Good man Now he came back to me responding to that I-A-N-A-L which means internet speak i am not a lawyer But my understanding is that it's not the Second Amendment that is the problem, as it was traditionally viewed as referring to state-organized militias not to personal guns. Yeah I love that one! It gets better...it is the Supreme Court of the United States decision in DC versus Heller that created the right to own one's gun for self defense

1:55:21 And I of course looked into this ruling. This is a very famous ruling where the Supreme Court said, you know the Second Amendment yes it does mean that you can have a gun for your own personal safety based on the Second Amendment that the government cannot restrict that. I reply your response is baffling! DC versus Heller is a Second Amendment ruling? The basis is the amendment itself Why do you want to protect not going after the root cause? Hunters, states all that can be licensed. Repeal and license is the way to go it will remove all issues since the Second Amendment's only mission is to prohibit the federal government from infringing on quote bearing arms Remove that hurdle and US gun laws can be written without impediment which is true It isn't impediment to writing gun laws

1:56:12 I cannot recall a politician or lobby ever defending gun ownership based on DC versus Heller. It's always the Second Amendment that is quoted." The 18th amendment was repealed by the 21st, it's what quote the people wanted! It wasn't even that long ago in an historic sense so it can be done as you know I'm a gun owner and as American citizen I'll be the first to hand in my guns if the second is repealed he comes back and says fair enough Just seems like repealing the Second Amendment will be quite a bit harder than changing its legal interpretation. And I come back, why is it a bit harder? Reading The New York Times op-ed and based on your original comment we are at a tipping point! The population is outraged! The editorial board hasn't had a front page since 1920! The only reason the repeal would be quote harder is if the votes simply aren't there. The process for us is simple requires two thirds votes of both houses as specified by Article 5 of the Constitution

1:57:09 It's not a big document. You might want to read it if the majority fell into your trap, fucking A. If the majority of citizens want their representatives to repeal as we are constantly reminded by the media and The New York Times then there should be a campaign to vote those representatives who are not with the majority and in fact representing their constituents out of office is how the process was designed to work this is civics 101 professor Is this? No longer being taught in stools schools and universities And that was the last we heard from the professor. It's nuts, but it's coming close to getting... It is a good argument though. I like it. Thank you. Well, I'm going to try again tonight we have another Obama bot dinner. If everybody was all dead set against all this stuff that's just simple process well, it's not a simple process as a complicated process But as you say if everybody's all in and the editorial ran on the front page and all the rest of it Everybody wants this to happen. It should be no-brainer And the good news is I get to test it out again tonight As there was another Lori Frick organized Obama Bot Dinner

Associate Executive Producers, Donation Segment 780 Part 2

The second half of the donation segment features contributions from Chris Wilson in Australia, Eric Von Marter, and several donors from the UK and Malaysia. A technical discussion regarding the Intel 8008 and 8080 microprocessors is sparked by a specific donation amount. The hosts thank the "producers" for their financial support and for providing content and "trigger warnings" for the show.

Well actually the 4004 Was it the 8080? No, the 8008 preceded the 8080 by I think a year or two. Nobody used it like they did the 8080. The 8080 was the breakthrough chip Is this one that you tried to take apart on television? No...no..that wasn't- That was a computer not a chip But did it have the 8008 in it? No no! There's no famous early computer that I know of

2:00:37 that has an 8008 in it, maybe that thing the French designed. They were all 8080s because that's the chip that had... Now we gotta go look it up! I got to see why? Because there was probably something in the way the 808 was constructed that made it more amenable to be turned into a computer Is that what Sinclair's computer used? The 8008 No, the Sinclair computer I believe used the Z80. Oh yeah that's right it was a ZX-80 or Z88 you're right Just the Z80 It wasn't the ZX-80 Well you had the model Z80 and ZX-80 of the computer That was the name of the computer Ben Smith in Greenville Texas $78 Aslan Sharom in Shah Alam Selangor Malaysia And 7781 he wants to call out

No Agenda Meetups, Port Angeles and Texas

A No Agenda meetup is scheduled for December 20th at the Next Door Pub in Port Angeles, Washington. The hosts encourage listeners to organize their own local meetups to connect with other "free thinkers" in their areas. They offer to help facilitate these gatherings by sending out localized emails to the show's mailing list.

meetups· port angeles· texas· community· networking

2:08:51 on December 20th at 3 p.m., at the Next Door Pub... Gary Wiley should know about that, he's in Squim which is right next door It's the Next Door Pub December 20th, 3pm produces from Candanavia and Seattle area are coming Is Eric doing this or who is organizing this? Somebody organized it and Eric says he has access to the mailing list asked me, should I just send the mailing out to the locals that are...you know there's not that many maybe 10 or he had sent me some note. And I said just do it we wanted and were trying to encourage more of these meetups. It's healthy too its healthy to get together with people who have the same form of thinking no agenda thinking its healthy yes

2:09:37 And, like I've said it before and I'll say it again. The people...and when you meet up with them yourself you say, well this is a very discrepant group. There will be a doctor, there will be a dentist, there will be sheet metal worker, there will be steel guy, somebody who owns the smallest shop to be a restaurateur. They're all different and they're all interesting even though these people would never get together under normal circumstances but they all meet and they all tend to like each other. It's beautiful to see it. It is beautiful. Yeah, it's quite highly acclaimed event for everyone who donated this thing if you can for everyone who donated today thank you very much also those under $50 for reasons of anonymity usually around 49 dollars and of course our subscribers who are always on a plan to continue to support the best podcasting universe thank you very much here's the karma for you

Enantiodromia, Millennial Entitlement and Yale Protests

The concept of "enantiodromia"—the principle that a superabundance of any force produces its opposite—is applied to the current generation of college students. The resignation of Yale Professor Erika Christakis over a Halloween costume email is cited as an example of extreme millennial entitlement and "cry bully" culture. The hosts argue that this behavior is a reaction to "helicopter parenting" and media-driven fear.

enantiodromia· carl jung· yale university· erika christakis· millennials

2:11:40 Eric Grunewald says happy birthday to his daughter Anika, who will be 11 on the 16th. And we say happy birthday to the San Francisco writer waitress and the voice of the ever popular You've Got Karma Dame Tanya Foster celebrating tomorrow Happy birthday from all your buddies here at The Best Podcast in the Universe! That's so nice No knights today, but we do congratulate Sir Festus who becomes a baronet as does Sir Jonas Astrum also becoming a baronet today and Dame Tanya did the You've Got Karma? I didn't...I guess I knew that. I'd forgotten about it yeah Huh Yeah There's there's a word that i was introduced to earlier this week and I think it kind of coincides with the cry bullies

2:12:36 the incredible millennial crazy that we're seeing going on right now. And the word is enantiodromia! It's a good word! How is that a good word? It's a principle, Enantiodromia, is a principle introduced by Carl Jung that the superabundance of any force inevitably produces its opposite And I believe that if you look at the children in college today, who are my children. My children's age...my daughter is not in college but we grew up and we didn't want our children ultimately to have the same hardships that we had. You know like no money or whatever it being whatever it is

2:13:25 And this entitlement, because these children have not felt the hardships that we went through as kids. You know parents left you alone I was a latchkey kid! There was no...I didn't have to wear helmet and knee pads if i went outside like... Knee pads? Never know you could fall down there is.. I can't... I should... Well I disagree with some of this and I could tell you why but before I do I would like to play the update for what's going on at Yale. This is very good. And at Yale University, a professor who sparked protests after dismissing concerns about culturally offensive Halloween costumes has resigned

2:14:03 The controversy began in October, when Yale's administration sent an email reminding students to respect each other's cultures on Halloween and to avoid wearing offensive or appropriative costumes. In response, Professor Erika Christakis sent an email pushing back against the advice, writing quote is there no room anymore for a child or young person to be a little bit obnoxious? A little bit inappropriate or provocative or yes offensive. Her email sparked protest and came amidst other instances of racism on campus including a woman of color reportedly being denied entry to a fraternity party because she isn't white." She may have not been invited that's what I'm thinking

2:14:46 So you don't think that is a pendulum that is swinging back with these kids? You don't think it's... I honestly don't. My thinking is that this was created by the media, situation with the kids, for example. Hold on a minute! Are you talking about just what's happening in schools? Or are you talking about noodle boy and the self-entitlement and I don't deserve to be hurt both? Both. And it began with...I think your right about the hover, you know, the helicopter parents all the rest of which came from the generation of people that were kind of left alone like you say. Yeah. I mean, I was not a latchkey kid

2:15:25 But I was, lived in Chicago like in the fourth grade and my mom... Go on! Go meet your buddies in downtown. We didn't have rubber tiles on the playground. You learned to hold onto shit is what you learned The only scare thing that their media was up to was that the Russians were gonna bomb us And that did not entail going out to play Today's media, you know, oh kidnappings and kids are being raped. If you look at the statistics from when I was a little kid and today in terms of kidnappings and all that sort of thing is pretty much the same. But the same people who are producing the news are my age they're the same people so that's why they're hyping it up and be very afraid to be children

2:16:12 Okay, you got that. I'll give you a check mark on that little comment but i still think it's the media overall that has produced this fearfulness they're just loving to scare people I think the very much unlike the media, it was not if you listen to those old TV news shows in the 50s 60s and 70s or actually early seventies there wasn't any of this. They were big they were there wasn't any of this scare that public to death about every little thing so your kids are going to get stolen and killed You know the good news is if you kind of look at Europe I think your cycle book is almost its final draft ready go the publisher

CHAPTER 37 / 50 Discussion

Donald Trump, Potential Reset and Political Risks

The hosts discuss the possibility of a Donald Trump presidency acting as a "reset" for the world, even if he is viewed as a demagogue. They speculate on the risks Trump faces, including potential sex scandals or "unfortunate aviation accidents," similar to the theories surrounding Ross Perot. The segment concludes that Trump's presence is currently generating massive ratings for the media.

donald trump· demagogue· political assassination· red book· media frenzy

2:16:54 If you look, I think the enantiodromia does play into all of this and the media of course is magnification. That's something that we didn't have before so things are being amplified if you look at how history repeats itself let's just presume for a moment that if Donald Trump becomes president and he does everything he says which would be very akin to what people are comparing to how the entire world, not just Hitler and his cronies but the Germans and the Americans. We put Hitler as man of the year on Time Magazine twice

2:17:35 It is entirely possible. Himmler twice, too by the way. Oh really? I didn't know that it is entirely possible that Donald Trump will become such a let's call him a demagogue But you know what? It's probably necessary The whole world needs a big-ass reset and if we became the Nazis It would be a different version wouldn't have okay with couples this Let me just finish it We are the Nazis now. I know, but we have to go out and kill people like Muslims... Well we're already doing that shit yeah you're right well it needs to be recognized it needs to go down in history because only then will people say that wasn't so good how he were there we were actually killing Muslims all the time and they got pissed off came over here and killed us because that is what's happening we're killing people or rubble eyes and with drones kids are

2:18:26 Terrorized, they hear a plane. It's like oh it was a drone that was going to kill me in my sleep! No wonder! So maybe we need- Maybe it's a good thing? Maybe bring Trump in and then we'll all realize that we're idiots and we're doing nothing... And WE the people are shitty I'm embarrassed about some of the things that are going on Well Trump is okay well let's talk about Trump for a second then In this regard I don't think he's getting in because its just there like He started reading more They're gonna kill him before they let him get in And they're got to get him. And you can see this last news cycle that we talked about in the first part of the show is all about blasting this guy out. But, but you do realize that the American people are not in step? I think it's only a small slice

2:19:11 No, I think if Trump ran today as president he would win. He would win! I think all these pundits and CBS guys and MSNBC guys all these guys that you know made this prediction well you know he's got about 20 remember this? He has twenty percent of the when they had 30 candidates so he was way ahead by with twenty percent well that's the limit Because there's always gonna be this 20% that wants a guy like that. And then he moves up to 23, 33. You get 30 and up? Yeah. He would win. We have a long way to go. That's for sure. Yeah, you've got a long way to go so there are lots of opportunities to take him out and they'll keep working on it and then he won't get in. Let's just presume just for Red Book sake what would be a great way to take him out? Well they're gonna have to do a sex scandal

2:20:05 No one cares, they think he's even cooler. They took out what's his name? The black pizza guy last time around. Nothing seems to... Well okay then they're gonna have to shoot him or injure him or something or threaten him like this is how they got rid of Ross Perot Donald Trump is not going to give a shit you have to take them out and I'm saying unfortunate aviation accident He's flying helicopters, he's flying planes. I think it's a... You got it! Yeah, you nailed that one. You took it right from the book, right from the Confessions of the Economic Hitman. It's an unfortunate incident. I mean, the ironic...the most ironic incident and one that would be kind of baffling to everybody more than a brain scramble is because they promoted him as this Muslim hater. Some Muslim nut job kills him but then... That's not how you want to do it? No, that's not right. It's not going to work. The simplest way is just by the way, I wanna remind people who donate to this show

2:21:01 This discussion we're having right now... Would never take place. You would never hear it anywhere else, even though you know it should be discussed and so we're discussing it And if you look through the emails that have been released and not really discussed publicly at all Hillary Clinton emails She's sleeping through meetings she's asleep she slept through the call We have a year to go or 10 months Hillary Clinton could keel over Anything could happen. They should be they should be really concerned about her Yeah, she's a kind of over the hill I do have one but I think you're right It's gonna be if anything happens man it would it would happen late because they're not gonna just know the guys right now He's business he's making money for everybody that works mm-hmm Not in terms of advertising but in terms getting people to watch and this this storm

2:21:51 This media frenzy will be perfect for Tuesday's Republican debate. I'm thinking 20 million viewers, write it down." Oh that's a good point! Yeah! It's gonna be off the hook and have you seen the commercials for this thing? Oh my god this fantastic! The promos are great You know these guys going after Trump... Ted Cruz is still playing it coy Because he took it straight and said, the guy's unhinged. He's a lunatic! You know like Jeb Bush who was an absolute idiot Cruz says I just disagree with this but i do like the way Trump approaches this other thing That's what he said you know that's something I don't agree with personally but you can say that It's fine Yeah He is the only one everybody else he's unhinged he's a lunatic This is impractical its crazy But the American people

Every Student Succeeds Act, Common Core Removal

The Senate passed the "Every Student Succeeds Act" (SB 1177), which effectively removes federal mandates for Common Core standards. While the bill retains some statewide testing requirements, it returns significant control over education standards to the individual states. President Obama is expected to sign the bill as part of his domestic policy legacy.

every student succeeds act· common core· education reform· senate· barack obama

2:22:46 American people and they're funny. They had some kind of poll, uh, people who are support Donald Trump or dumb. This was a great poll that like that one a lot. Jew, Donald Trump supporters mostly uneducated. That's CNN. Of course, of course! CNN doing a poll... great I do have one crazy millennial thing that happened in a- And by the way if the uneducated masses as they would like to be put actually voted this guy in you get what you deserve by making people uneducated by ruining the education system with this bullcrap that you've been promoting Which which People Which I don't know if you followed this but uh The Senate

2:23:33 Past the every student succeeds act Senate Bill 1177 and it is expected to be signed by the President. And this is a very important bill, although that the Democrats were able to get a little thing in there they still wanted but it is now telling the states you can still get your No Child Left Behind money if you will not be forced to use Common Core as specifically States Common Core You'll not be forced to have a federally mandated standards that you'll have to adhere to. However, the bill will keep keeps a key feature of No Child Left Behind the federally mandated statewide reading and math exams in grades three to eight and I think there's one in high school that is only for uh...that will be required for the bottom five percent of students in all states so effectively Common Core has been removed

2:24:33 Well, that's good. That's a very good...now we'll see what happens from here and if the House will go for it and if the president will...word is he's not going to veto it and he'll let it go I think he's just doing whatever he can and he'll be able to still say oh we're helping the kids in the lowest 5%. So yeah that's gonna be part of his legacy. I have an ISO over-the oven And by audible.com has more than 180,000 products I'm Kenzie Wilbur host of the burnt toast podcasts and on every episode i'm joined by the most interesting people in the food world Sometimes to talk about slowing down in the kitchen To really stand for a minute over this stove when those onions are caramelizing and butter and just saying oh god This is one of the grace moments of the day and sometimes we're in the kitchen ourselves All right

Lynch Memorial Hall, Campus Renaming Demands

Students at Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania are demanding the renaming of Lynch Memorial Hall due to the word "lynch" having racial overtones. The building was actually named after a former college president, but students are calling for his first name to be added or for the name to be changed entirely. This is presented as another example of hypersensitivity on college campuses.

lebanon valley college· lynch memorial hall· renaming· racial overtones· pennsylvania

2:25:26 Yeah, yeah. It's our competition. Your sense of humor is always on. All right here are some dumb millennials at a Pennsylvania college. Students at a small Pennsylvania college are demanding that administrators rename the building because they say the current name has racial overtones. The building called Lynch Memorial Hall is located on the campus of Lebanon Valley College, that's in Anvil in Lebanon County about 90 miles west of Philadelphia. Students there say the word lynch carries racial overtones and they want the school to either change name altogether or add lynches first name to it

2:26:01 I have the ISO for that. Okay, AJ racist this is kind of great. It's not racist it's a fact amen fist bump You know I don't know man you're watching cookie show cooking shows you listen to the seed man should I be worried?

COP21 Paris Climate Summit, Meat and Dairy Consumption

The COP21 climate summit in Paris involved 36,000 delegates focusing on keeping global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. A new focus of the summit is the impact of meat and dairy consumption on greenhouse gas emissions, with celebrities like Paul McCartney advocating for meat-reduced diets. Activists are reportedly suggesting a "gradual weaning" off animal protein in favor of plant-based alternatives.

cop21· paris· climate change· paul mccartney· veganism

2:26:45 Hey, do you know how many people were at this Le Bourget? And I'll tell you that this number includes politicians, consultants, NGOs elites and I guess some celebrities. How many people... 5,000 I think. How many people do you think in total were... 25. How many? 25,000 36,000 36,000. Yeah they're just there looking for the money. Of course some things came out of this as they now have the draft together and the flunkies are going to work for the next year or whatever and try and figure out what has boiled down to be climate finance

2:27:30 But of course we always have some things that come out of these little meetings global climate talks in Paris have entered their ninth day Delegates are working to reach a deal or two keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius several Wednesdays right this is a new idea by the way do you remember even the past ones about the exact temperatures mm-hmm? I know they just say yeah now. They just say 22 degrees without saying how warm and No, they never used to talk about it. Oh we're going to limit it to this many degrees. I don't think you can find any examples of this. Let me listen that again. That's interesting what you said. Global climate talks in Paris have entered their ninth day. Delegates are working to reach a deal to keep global warming below two degrees Celsius. Several of Wednesday's events are focusing on the climate impacts of meat and dairy consumption

2:28:21 Singer Paul McCartney has been highlighting the importance of a meat reduced diet. He says the livestock industry is responsible for a massive percentage of greenhouse gases. German MEP Jo Leinem says diet is one of the most delicate issues with climate protection Activists in Paris are taking a gentle approach to the world's love affair with meat, ranging from offering look-alike plant burgers to suggesting a gradual weaning off animal protein. For now, consumption is rising in many countries despite warnings Most recently, a World Health Organization report found eating processed or red meat increased the risk of developing cancer Wow they brought that one out and kind of truncated the whole thing didn't they?

2:29:05 Delegates hope to secure a final climate deal by a deadline of 6 p.m Central European time on Friday We cannot wait and in the meantime I love bugs! Bugs, bugs, bugs! Tastes like poop Yeah there you go So i hate to do it to you but i do feel its uh Relevant to play two clips, I've shortened them down. I spend a lot of time...

John Kerry, Climate Finance and Marketplace Signals

Secretary of State John Kerry's speech at the Paris climate summit is analyzed, focusing on his admission that the summit is about sending "marketplace signals" rather than just environmental goals. Kerry emphasized the mobilization of "climate finance" from public and private sources. The U.S. has pledged $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund, which the hosts characterize as a massive transfer of wealth.

john kerry· climate finance· green climate fund· marketplace· propaganda

2:29:46 And he was, oh man. He had a 45 minute speech and he was just pontificating everywhere but he did lift a little bit of the veil of what this whole thing is really about and I think it's worth listening to One of the things that we expect to happen here and that makes Paris so important is not Leave here knowing that everything we do is going to hit the two degree mark. But what we're doing is sending the marketplace an extraordinary signal The marketplace pay attention people this is nothing about warming This is about finance there those hundred eighty six countries are really committed

2:30:23 And that helps the private sector to move capital into that, knowing there's a future that is committed to this sustainable path. There is so much money going to be made on this! That is why we need a strong legally binding transparency system. It is essential. There are countries –we know– for which climate change is an existential threat today For them, this isn't a matter of annexes or peak years It's a matter of life and death. Yesterday I met with leaders from the island states, the small island states who expressed their legitimate concerns that the sea will swallow their nations

2:31:04 So these guys are mind controlled. Do you think they really believe it? Yeah, they probably do. Like oh we're all gonna be swallowed people if I go out into Berkeley streets on Telegraph Avenue and asked anybody about this they all believe it yeah Oh yeah Will I have fish swimming and flopping around on the streets of Miami One of the hard realities that were facing is that our collective delay now means some of the impacts of climate change can't be reversed are gonna die. That means that we need to increase our efforts to mobilize climate finance from all possible sources. Public and private. Now obviously the world's largest economies, including the United States need to play a major role in this regard. That is just common sense. And that is why the United States

2:32:13 pledged $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund. It is why the United States already contributes more than 2.5 billion to climate finance annually, including more than 400 billion per year of grant-based resources for global climate action. I don't understand how the Koch brothers can fight that kind of money. Because what he says is there's $2.5 billion, another $400 million given to climate research to fight you know...I guess the naysayers? That's a lot of money per year! Bless you, per year! And then carried it a little more intimate... To fight the naysayers. What kind of science thing is this?

2:32:58 It's not, it's propaganda. It's PR. It's mind control and he said it is not to fight the climate, its to fight the naysayers! That's a lot of money so So if anyone says the Koch brothers are buying it all, I'm sorry. I just don't see how that works out with that kind of money every single year We know that two years ago it was up to four or five billion dollars given to research Yeah, just a fight... yeah and that's where all the propaganda is coming from not from the oil companies Just a related clip is probably only one I have uh... bob obama this is the curious this is that do clippers curious dn false scandal this is part of the problem part of fighting in a sales sayers is this bullshit which i would like to explain after she discusses this refugees will immediately become legal canadian residents upon arrival

Greenpeace Sting, Climate Skeptic Professors

Greenpeace conducted a sting operation against two professors, William Happer and Frank Clemente, by posing as fossil fuel consultants and asking them to write reports. The professors agreed to write the reports for a fee, which Greenpeace framed as a scandal. The hosts argue that paying writers for white papers is standard business practice and not inherently corrupt.

greenpeace· william happer· frank clemente· climate skepticism· sting operation

2:33:46 Greenpeace has revealed two prominent climate skeptics made themselves available for hire by the hour to write reports that cast doubt on man-made climate change and the impacts of global warming. Members of Greenpeace posed as consultants for fossil fuel companies and asked William Happer, a professor at Princeton University and Frank Clemente, a retired professor from Penn State University to write the reports. Both professors said the reports would cost thousands of dollars to write and discuss ways to obscure the funding source. Okay, I'm a writer and I'm a climate skeptic or I don't think it's bullcrap and they want me to write some reports. These guys come in these phonies come in from Greenpeace we'd like you to write some reports on the falsehoods here." And he said yeah alright um It's gonna cost you a couple thousand dollars. I'm not sitting here that right things for free! To save the world

2:34:41 So how is this a scandal? And then they say, and then apparently the guy said well can you obscure who gave you the money. I don't care who gave me the money! I'll just write this thing up but are you giving me $2500 for white paper or whatever it is... It's not going to be a lot and that's a scandal?! This is the way business is done if your'e a writer. How is this a scandal!? You need to do it for free! Dr. Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace who left a long time ago and he's now become pro-nuke but he was a greenie even when he left Greenpeace He wrote... actually he reported Greenpeace to the FBI under the RICO & Wire Fraud statutes

2:35:20 saying the organization I co-founded has become a monster. When I was a member of this central committee in the early days we campaigned usually with success on genuine environmental issues such as atmospheric nuclear tests, whaling and seal clubbing remember those days? Seal clubbing that was fun. That's good old days when Greenpeace turned anti science by campaigning against chlorine Imagine, he says the sheer stupidity of campaigning against one of the elements in the periodic table. I decided that it had lost its purpose and that having achieved its original objectives had turned to extremism To try to justify its continued existence a whole letter and seen the show notes is definitely worth a read And now back to Kerry He did a little more intimate setting not the big 45-minute speech This was like guess more of an interactive session

CHAPTER 43 / 50 Discussion

Flat Earth Theory, Antarctica and Scientific Dogma

A host mentions investigating "Flat Earth" theories, specifically the idea that Antarctica is an ice ring surrounding the earth. This is prompted by John Kerry's dismissal of climate skeptics as members of the "Flat Earth Society." While not endorsing the theory, the host expresses an interest in looking at the arguments being made by the community.

flat earth· antarctica· john kerry· scientific consensus· geography

2:36:10 that Paris will be a truly historic moment when we will ratify what people all over the world are coming to understand. And that is, this is happening now faster than scientists predicted it would. Is it happening faster? I haven't heard this. And it's happening to get greater degrees! These are lies!

2:36:53 Cockamamie ideological hypothetical. I'm gonna write that down because i got one. We are gonna make Paris the demarcation point where we begin to get the job done science He mentions the crazy people who are members of the Flat Earth Society I don't think a single person who or politician who is You know anti man, they all shit. Yeah, panty this bullshit is an actual member of the Flat Earth Society? I don't know that there already well. I've been looking into this there are

2:37:46 a number of very interesting theories about the earth being flat and not round. And I've been... The more i look at it, the more kind of blows my mind so yeah just looking..I'm not afraid to look into and see if I can figure out what they're saying. Well with the idea what I like is that Antarctica Yeah, I get it. No, I read the same thing! Let me just say that not everyone's read it... Antarctica is a ring around the flat earth and if you go through Antarctica which I don't think anyone really has been all the way in.. I don't believe that that's bullcrap. I think people have been all the way in and across but go on. I'm just saying I'm investigating it. I'm not a member yet

CHAPTER 44 / 50 Discussion

Elon Musk, Carbon Tax Advocacy in Paris

Elon Musk spoke at the Pantheon-Sorbonne University in Paris to advocate for a global carbon tax. Musk argued that taxing carbon emissions is necessary to shift the market toward sustainable energy. The hosts label Musk a "phony," pointing out the conflict of interest given his ownership of Tesla and SolarCity, as well as the high pollution levels associated with SpaceX rocket launches.

elon musk· carbon tax· tesla· solar city· cop21

2:38:35 It's a funny theory though. I like the way they did it because they got most of the bases covered, I think the Antarctic thing is much of a stretch. Well here's one, I've got one little change in pace. Hold on, I have one more climate change unless you're going to do climate change? Oh no, last climate change... Everybody, your favorite nerd. Mr. Superhero! Mr., Mr. Superstar! The guy we all love! Elon Musk is once again stressing his ideology on carbon taxing this time at Pantheon Sorbonne University in Paris just miles away from the COP21 climate summit the investor and CEO is most known for his involvement with SpaceX Tesla Motors and SolarCity

2:39:19 all relatively environmentally friendly companies. And he wants carbon taxing now. Musk said it will give the needed push for countries to utilize sustainable energy and ditch fossil fuels. Currently, there are environmental incentives for things that benefit the environment like electric cars but according to The International Monetary Fund about 5.3 trillion dollars in subsidies benefit energy industries. The majority of those beneficiaries are fossil fuel companies Musk's plan would evoke heavier taxes on carbon-related industries. He urged students to be the generation that changes this, so what can you do? Whenever you have the opportunity talk to your politicians ask them to enact a carbon tax he said that 35 gigatons of carbon are emitted in the atmosphere annually all untaxed and that can't be the norm

Hoverboard Fires, Lithium-Ion Battery Safety

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is investigating a series of fires involving hoverboards, which are attributed to cheap lithium-ion batteries made in China. Reports of boards exploding or catching fire have emerged from Seattle, Houston, and Alabama. One host admits to using a hoverboard to transport trash down a long hallway, despite the reported safety risks.

2:40:10 Oh brother, he runs an electric car company so he does this conflict of interest speech. What a phony! But then he's got this rocket... you ever see a rocket launch? Talk about a polluter Yeah, don't talk about that too much. All right I got a couple of clips here that are short and well actually there's one it's really good this has to do with you when this clip came up I said oh Adam huh hoverboard takedown And it was 150 years ago this month No no that can't be it Hoverboard takedown. Oh, I'm sorry there was an ask Adam...I missed that too. That's coming next. I got you hover board takedown tonight investigators at the Consumer Product Safety Commission tell NBC News they're looking into a series of fires involving so-called hoverboards one of the fastest selling gifts this holiday season the fire seemed to be traced to lithium ion batteries and the most recent incident was caught on camera in a Seattle area mall

2:41:09 NBC's Tom Costello tonight with what many hoverboard buyers need to know. It happened at a mall kiosk Tuesday, a hoverboard erupting in fire. Just the latest involving one of the year's hottest selling gifts. In Houston the Boucher family won a hover board at church raffle only to watch it catch fire the next day. I was expecting it to blow up! In Alabama it happened while Timothy Cade was riding his. It blew up? It's on fire! The hoverboard exploded under my feet In Louisiana, an entire house burned down after a hoverboard fire. Another house fire in Florida. Nationwide at least six serious fires so far this year. Hoverboards first capture the public's fascination and back to the future 26 years later they're flying off store shelves and the internet prices ranging from 200 to 2 000 dollars but there's a problem

2:42:05 Hoverboards are made in China. They're not toys, they're not vehicles which means they're also...not regulated You really don't know how well they're designed and how well they're going to function and what safety defects it can be introducing The biggest fire danger? The lithium-ion batteries! They have a history of overheating and catching fire in cell phones and laptops even causing the UPS cargo plane to crash five years ago Britain just confiscated 15,000 hoverboards saying the cheap lithium batteries are dangerous. Meanwhile the US Safety Commission says it's now getting daily reports of people falling off their boards broken bones and head wounds as hoverboard mania takes hold Tom Costello NBC News Washington

2:42:46 Now that's what you call a package. That's got the voices again Oh my god is on fire and I got people then they show people falling off the hoverboards on their butts dynamite areas I'm just I just say I took that clip thinking of you uh-huh You've got to hover board you gotta cheap one two hundred dollar cheapie It's the same one I got it cheap, but it's the same one They're all the doll tutor $200 now It's the same one. Well, it has a cheap-ass battery and you're gonna blow up the whole apartment building. Giant fire in downtown Austin! Is that right before or after my vape explodes and blows my teeth out? I don't know... Alright do have to ask Adam There is going to be regulation for these things i'm sure which is kind of why I thought I'd get because it'll be outlawed as too dangerous You know I use it for one thing only

2:43:43 So I'm all the way at the end of the hall here in the building. Good news, I'm right near the freight elevator bad news The trash chute is you know all the way down the hallway. So wait so you have a garbage bag in one hand and your on the hoverboard zooming down the hall with the garbage? Yes yes garbage bag in one hand and usually a cardboard box in the other but if you had to make trips... There's gotta be a site I'll have Tina film it. I'll show you what it looks like yeah, I want that filmed I've had people You know look at me go well. That's interesting Yeah, walk back and forth of course that's what they're good for all right now This is change the pace a little bit does ask Adam All right this is again a juxtaposition of topics that makes no sense which is what were the show has been largely about and

13th Amendment Anniversary, Obama Rhetoric on Bigotry

President Obama marked the 150th anniversary of the 13th Amendment by delivering a speech at the U.S. Capitol. Obama used the occasion to speak against "bigotry in all its forms," which was widely interpreted as a swipe at Donald Trump's immigration proposals. The hosts question the logical connection between the abolition of slavery and current debates over border security.

13th amendment· barack obama· slavery· bigotry· donald trump

2:44:38 I'm going to ask you about it. All right, and it was 150 years ago this month that the 13th Amendment was ratified and slavery was abolished in the United States President Obama marked the occasion at the US Capitol And he appeared to target Donald Trump's call to bar Muslims from entering the country we betray The efforts of the past if we fail to push back on against bigotry in all its forms. Our freedom is... Hold on, hold on! Bag it up he's a ramp up it's another MLK Bigotry In All Its Forms Against bigotry in all its forms our freedom is bound up with the freedom of others Freedom Of Others

2:45:25 How does that relate to slavery? That's what I'm asking you! Ask Adam, ask Adam. It doesn't relate to slavery at all it's about freedom He is a maniac. It's sad, it's sad Can I do a little check in with Europe Alright, do it. Do you want to do something? I can wait... I got one more. This is a good end of show clip Okay then wait for that and let me do the two migrant things we have continuing migrant crisis and now we have some more things to be worried about this Of course is from RT which is important where the European Union now is very worried about these refugees in the camps One of your main points since this happened this mass migration John Is about pooping Where did they poop

European Migrant Crisis, Disease and Rapid Response Forces

Health officials in Germany are reporting a resurgence of diseases like scabies and threats of cholera in refugee camps. Under the protocols of the Lisbon Treaty, authorities have the power to arrest and jail individuals with contagious diseases. Meanwhile, the EU is proposing a "rapid response" border force that can be deployed to member states like Greece without their explicit authorization.

migrant crisis· germany· cholera· lisbon treaty· border control

2:46:12 Right? So somebody actually discusses this for a change. In a way... There are no winter shelters, people are living in wet and dirty conditions there is the threat of cholera! In the clinics it's becoming increasingly common to see patients with diseases that were considered to have been eradicated in Germany such as scabies We cannot provide native German children and refugees alike with basic vaccines The vaccine shortage which is the responsibility of pharmaceutical companies must urgently be made the top priority of the health minister. German health officials report that about 15% of newly arriving migrants, that's more than 200 000 people require immediate treatment. Medics admit some of the infections brought by refugees have

2:46:55 haven't been seen in Europe for decades. All these infections that were previously diminishing in frequency or not being seen can all resurrect themselves when people are herded together, or their environment is being substantially changed but in refugee camps... Well, this is a doctor. Since you're bored by him I will tell you what's relevant about this having read the entire Lisbon Treaty and its protocols as the main thing people overlook we learned in 2008 when we started to show We learned that in the protocols of the Lisbon Treaty ie the so-called Constitution of the European Union The authorities are allowed to arrest anyone with a disease

2:47:47 Which includes alcoholism, HIV but certainly cholera and everything else you could be in trouble. And you can be jailed legally Legally so I think you will see this perhaps being used and as it turns out we now have a storm force We have a force to go pick them up Germany and France proposed a new EU rapid response border control response It could in theory at least be deployed in member states without their authorization if their efforts to control migratory flows are deemed to be insufficient Hey Greece, welcome the stormtroopers. You're not doing a good job. It's about time! Come on in! Greece is likely to be the first country where the force could be deployed as Brussels grows impatient with the Greeks efforts to control the situation Crowds gathering on Greece's border with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia are being bussed Athens to find alternative routes north their likely destination is Germany Where the rules are being tightened and new refugee passports are being issued

2:48:43 It's clear that this procedure will take longer than the one we have right now, but it offers a variety of possibilities to use the data in other fields so that it will speed up the entire process of registering and integrating refugees. You will assimilate with us! So... A rapid response force which'll be deployed whether you like or not. Dynamite? And I'm waiting, y'know if- and then I'm done Okay, looking at this Trump mania looking at what we're hearing about essentially the same type of migrants from let's just call them that in the United States. The crazy thing about it all is that when of course you know the Muslim refugees, the Islamists, the Islamists, the Syrians whatever it is brown people who lived in sandy areas... That would have been better for Trump to say by the way if you're brown and you come from sand You can't come in

Jeb Bush, Website Redirect and Campaign Blunders

The domain "jebbush.com" was found to be redirecting users to Donald Trump's official campaign website. This occurred because Jeb Bush's campaign failed to purchase the domain, allowing a third party to acquire it and set up the redirect. The incident is cited as evidence of Bush's lack of technical savvy and poor campaign management.

2:49:38 The crazy thing about this is that eventually, and you can write it down right now. Do you know where these refugees will go? Book involved! FEMA camps. Oh brother... Wait for it. I'm looking at the FEMA camps possibility- Okay! And now we have... I can't wait actually. I have a clip that i think is a warning sign for anyone who's a politician not to be so stupid, stupid as Jeb Bush. Who cannot possibly be...I don't care how much money he has got now He just not going cut it as president. He's dim-witted Play the Jeb Bush hacked clip Tonight, Jeb Bush has been hacked Yeah this what you get when type in jebbush dot com You get Donald Trump campaign site

2:50:30 The two rivals have been going at each other for a while now. We should note JebBush.com isn't actually the candidate's official website, rather CNN reports it is a website that he had the option to buy but chose not to He hasn't been hacked. No, I know the story's misleading. He hasn't been hacked no he just made the stupid mistake of not buying everything from Jeb Bush sucks right to everything in between it's only what is his oh? He's got 40 million dollars in his bank account And he can't spend that and what nine dollars and ninety-eight cents well This is not a modern candidate of course guys an idiot Well so as Sean Hannity I would invite you to go to seanhannity.com

Star Wars Marketing, Daisy Ridley and Disney PR

The marketing blitz for the new Star Wars film is discussed, including an interview with actress Daisy Ridley that is critiqued for her seemingly "overloaded" state. The discussion touches on Joseph Campbell's "The Power of Myth" and its influence on George Lucas. The hosts criticize the Disney PR machine for booking entire casts on talk shows, resulting in poor-quality interviews.

2:51:12 I don't know what you're talking about. What happens if you type in Sean Hannity? Well, let's take a look at it right now. Let people do it on their own time. Oh! It goes to noagendershow.com Wow! Sean Hannity has been hacked! He's been hacked?! All right now here's the last thing I have this is a clip of a woman one of the actresses. I believe The Star Wars movie is gonna be a flood. I'm not gonna be a flop because it's already pre-sold tickets It's genius marketing, but I can't imagine this thing being any good and then I listen to this woman Daisy Ridley on one of the sites being interviewed and I'm thinking who is she? She's one of the actresses, one of the main actresses in the movie. She sounds like she's on Mars yeah and this is her discussing the film. I saw it in LA with Adam and Carrie um and I would like to see it again because I can't really remember what happened I feel like I had sensory overload

2:52:05 What was your face? Were you holding on to somebody's hand, what were you- what was going on?" Well it was nice because I was in a reclining chair so i felt quite relaxed and I did have a bowl of popcorn. This is your brain on drugs! Wow She was coked out well... Well because I saw the video So if you were yes saw the video If you were uh making a guess I think that would be one of the guesses you'd make that conclusion. She's saying yes, she's... I don't know that she's not like that all the time. Well it says she's mighty fun to be around. She just all smiles and touching her nose a lot. Smiles? You can't breathe through your nose for some reason. What's wrong with my nose?! I can't breathe through my nose! But it gives me the impression that their whole movie has got this element Yeah well, you know, It's fine This is-I'm reading The Power Of The Myth

2:52:58 and this is actually... Joseph Campbell? Yes, and Bill Moyers. Both of these guys are involved in it. Oh this is the interviews yeah Well its a book that was written after the interviews And these interviews were kind of the prelude to The Force To Star Wars because they were talking with George Lucas and they came up with The Power Of The Myth and The Power Of The Myth In A Star War Movie which I think why its interesting Is The Force When you have a myth such as God or Allah, or maybe it's not a myth. It's up to you but when you have a myth... Maybe climate change! Whenever people believe in the myth, you have complete control. I like your theory except for the one thing. Power of The Myth and the whole Campbell thing was all 80s. The original Star Wars movie 1977

2:53:48 So they possibly go in reverse order. Well, the book starts off by claiming this so I could be wrong but... That's funny because the book Power of Myth is a book based on 1988 PBS documentary. So if it starts off that way their guys are insane! He's going to get the book he's walking into the other room as we speak. He'll be back in very short time because his version... Yeah yeah you guys thanks for the narration okay Because Bill Moyers does the intro to this. This conversation between Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell took place, oh you're right 1985-86 at George Lucas's Skywalker Ranch and later at the Museum of Natural History. Okay you're right but then he does allude to how The Force came out of this so I don't know it's an interesting book i'm reading it. It's a good... Campbell's material is decent You've read this book?

2:54:43 I've read some of his stuff, not that book particularly. That's good. I like it. Anyway the myth of the force is why people are drawn to this because they have so... It's religion! Star Wars is religion. Yeah, it has a religious aspect to it yeah and people don't want to deal with old-fashioned religions as a new one. And Disney? Wooo! You can do better than that. Uh and please talk show hosts It is not a good idea to bring the entire cast on for an interview. Everyone is doing this! Not one, all of them have done this I saw...um was it? I want to know the PR woman at Disney that set this stuff up Well Jimmy Kimmel was ABC and he had everybody on from Quentin Tarantino's movie He was the first Yes

2:55:25 And everybody, everybody and it makes for a shitty interview. This all inside jokes. Although I will say wow they produced a lot of funny bits around it and of course the same company is Disney its ABC well done well done but if it makes for crappy interviews It's not funny that just my personal opinion. Well...it's all part of the marketing machine called Disney Which brings you your news as well. And with that... With that, we will continue to guard your reality as best We can please complete the job today I think we did support us at Dvorak org slash na we need that to continue
