About this episode

The British Parliament formally debated a petition to ban Donald Trump from the United Kingdom, with MPs Jack Bromley and others labeling the candidate a wazzock and a buffoon. While Home Secretary Theresa May maintains the power to exclude individuals based on unacceptable behavior, the session highlighted a deep misunderstanding of the American constitutional system. The debate served as a backdrop for Trump’s rising momentum in the Iowa primaries, bolstered by a high-profile endorsement from Sarah Palin.

Economic indicators from BNSF Railway suggest a significant slowdown in the transportation sector, mirroring patterns observed before the 2008 financial crisis. Warren Buffett faces scrutiny over rail interests following the Keystone XL cancellation, while global coal markets shift as Australia underbids American suppliers in China. In Europe, European Council President Donald Tusk warns of a Schengen Agreement collapse within two months due to the migration crisis. Violent protests in Heesch and a proposed EU gasoline tax by Wolfgang Schäuble further signal a breakdown in pan-European cooperation as Saudi-funded Wahhabist mosques expand across the Balkans.

Hollywood faces its own internal strife as Jada Pinkett Smith and Al Sharpton lead an Oscar boycott, drawing sharp rebukes from Janet Hubert and Whoopi Goldberg. The program features creative musical remixes of Barack Obama discussing his college years, alongside a satirical proposal for Sharia Bot, an AI tool for religious compliance. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the intersection of global finance and political theater through the value-for-value lens.

Introduction, BNSF Railway Economic Indicators

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the program from Austin, Texas and Northern California. An email from a BNSF Railway employee suggests that a slowdown in the transportation business is a leading indicator of an economic crash, mirroring patterns seen before the 2008 financial crisis.

00:00 Very close. Protecting your sanity in a sea of stupid and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state Austin, Tejas, FEMA region 6. In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley which is in California by the way I am John C DeVore It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Yes it is As the Starlight goes by

00:37 I guess it's the coast. I know where school we only know about the Zephyr now We have the starlight and this is a host of during the show yeah, I can look down and see there's about Three four five six trains go by that are passenger trains all empty by though oh? I think I don't know I've got to drive one interesting you bring that up. I received an email hold on a second And this was actually quite good Can't mention where he's from, but we can. Okay here we go... Uh.... Okay this was about Kefir? Keffer?

CHAPTER 02 / 46 Discussion

Global Coal Markets, Warren Buffett, Train Spotting

BNSF Railway is reportedly furloughing staff as low energy prices and a strong dollar hamper U.S. exports. Australia is currently underbidding American coal suppliers in the Chinese market, while Warren Buffett's transport interests are linked to the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline. The hosts also discuss "foamers," a term used by railroad employees for train enthusiasts.

01:21 Kiefer is what Americans call it, but kefir. Kefir? Kefir, kefir, kefir, kefir... Okay quick note about kefir as John mentioned Is it now- is it keifer? Is that what it is? Keefer! You can call it keefer It's the easiest thing for Americans to say It's huge in Caucasus and I'm a Chechnyan you're only Chechnyan listener by the way And Chechnya That's probably true It's in the Caucasus I used to drink kefir all the time Anyway he says I work for BNSF Which is... The caucuses? No, I'm not allowed to say that's the only thing he asked. I did not mention where he works but it's in the United States so it works for BNSF and Business is slowing down Yes BNSF is furloughing people at the moment seems like the low energy prices and a strong dollar are slowing down our exports China Is the biggest consumer of our coal So far one coal mine who was a major customer of BNSF is refusing to sell their cold to China because the price is too low

02:20 Australia has taken over and underbid us, and is now supplying coal to China. Also back in shale oil companies are very big customers of BNSF as we know of course that's why the KeyXL pipeline couldn't happen because BNSF is Warren Buffett's transport And because of low oil prices there is a great deal uncertainty with Dakota back in shale In other words having a strong dollar sucks Here's the thing I think was most interesting I know John is a big train fan We call them foamers. That's what the people who actually work with trains call the... Fans like you, foamers. Frothers. Standing around there with a tripod making movies of these trains going back and forth. Santorum Foamer. And can send him- Oh! He can send an annual BNSF calendar which features pictures taken by the employees. How excited are ya?

03:17 You got the post office box, send it there. I'm very excited." One more thing he says, railroaders have a saying that the first sign of troubles with the economy is when railroads or transportation business slows down then the crashing economy follows guys that have been around me at BNSF are saying the same thing happened right before the 2008 crash maybe slowing railroads is a sign of things to come hopefully John can confirm this I can. When i was younger I used to...I was always in and out of the stock market, but I noticed this one phenomenon just before the...actually it's dating me. But before one of the downturns... I still see it once a while. Joe Massonian Can you mean 1932? Which one John? How dated are you? John Massonian The 29th. I've noticed this a couple times. They don't notice it so much anymore and haven't seen since probably halfway through the Reagan administration.

04:16 But they used to be a...when the economy was slowing down, one of the sidings over here that I can see from my house up from the hill. I can see down on the tracks and you can see the tracks down there? One of the sidings used...and it used to live further down towards the tracks. One of the sightings was constantly used as backup for empty rail cars to be stored That means that the entire Oakland train yards, which are huge. They're not massive huge like in the Midwest but they're huge would fill up with cars and then because they had no place to put these cars they'd put them on this siding over here and they sit there for months! Every minor little downturn thats ever taken place since I've noticed it would be all of a sudden bunch of cars stacked up

05:07 So the question is, are the hookers on the trains cheaper and better looking? Fairly obvious to me. The hooker phenomenon I think it has a lag. The train thing is... Oh there goes DeZephyr. Foamer! You foamer you! I love it. He's a... And by the way, there was no separate... With no... It's a great word with no private car in the back. I was thinking to myself he was talking about that guy what Warren Buffett's private car must be like? Oh yes yeah i know you have dreams

CHAPTER 04 / 46 Discussion

British Parliament Debate, Donald Trump Entry Ban

The British Parliament debated a petition signed by nearly 600,000 people seeking to ban Donald Trump from the United Kingdom for alleged hate speech. Members of Parliament used the session to label Trump a "buffoon" and a "wazzock," while debating whether ridicule or a formal ban is the appropriate response to his rhetoric.

donald trump· british parliament· hate speech· michael savage· wazzock

09:16 Well, there was a petition of nearly 600 thousand people which is very big number according to the Brits asking that Donald Trump be banned from the country the way Michael Savage was. Fabulous! And some others for hate speech and I don't know what hate speech they're talking about but they dreamed a bunch of it up that's for sure And the group said it's pretty obvious that this was done in the Muslim community. And maybe part of it done in Scotland. For some reason, the Scots really are overrepresented in this particular debate—the Scottish National Party which seems to be... have a lot of Muslims there. Interestingly… Oh okay that's why I got you. And Muslim now yeah but Muslim women and they're kind of harpies and... Harpies?

10:11 Yeah, harpies. You know they kind of harpies are there every time somebody come up to say well Why this is a stupid idea because the guy might be president United States They would well it's the laws the law the laws the law we can do you do it other people We have to do it to him and I like to roll And I think we should point out people that This has been done against a foreigner for you and get my nation east and American But the same laws will be applied to you Citizens so pay attention Let's start with, first of all just both sides. The most logical arguments were coming from the side that said this is a dumb idea but both sides because they could decided to insult Trump as much as they possibly could imagine This medley is an example of both sides condemning him for being dumb

11:07 that this ridiculous individual, and that is Mr Trump may be elected... may be elected as President of the United States. So you don't need a crystal ball to recognise that the person you're dealing with, maybe a successful businessman is also a buffoon and has the dangerous capability... The dangerous capability of saying the most obscene or insensitive things to attract attention Now while I think this man is crazy While I think this man has no valid points to make His policy to close borders if he is elected as president is bonkers. And if he met one or two of my constituents in one of the many excellent pubs in my constituency, then they may well tell him that he's a wazook for dealing with this issue. A what?

12:01 I can't get it either. A Waffic or something? No, I think it's a Wazook. Wazook? May well tell him that he is a wazzock! Yeah, wazzock. Someone in the chatroom will know. For dealing with this issue in this way... Can I not suggest that actually this is about buffoonery and ultimately buffoonery should not be met with the blunt instrument of a ban but with the classic British response ridicule. Why Donald Trump is a buffoon, not criminal. A buffoon? Donald Trump is a fool he is free to be a fool he is not free to be a dangerous fool on our shores On that point about 1.6 billion Muslims thank God there aren't 1.6 billion Trumps yes yeah we make our life I think it'll make our lives very very difficult Up close we might also get to see just what is under that hat

12:56 Wazook, w-a-z-z zero c k a foolish or annoying person unknown origin that is it's so you get the idea that I mean did i found that this to be the I mean these guys are trying to don't have anything better to do with what I'm thinking well there's a there they got nothing better doing and they were just in general we're the most insulting group Pretentious and insulting anything you've ever seen this went on for a couple of hours. I saw some of it Yeah, it was I It was horrifying how insulting they were and hardly that we should declare independence from them or something well That's the thing one of the reasons we did so let's listen to History repeats itself yeah well there's you know there's who I couldn't believe it how

CHAPTER 05 / 46 Discussion

UK Unacceptable Behavior Criteria, Trump Misogyny Allegations

The UK Home Secretary, Theresa May, holds the power to exclude individuals based on "unacceptable behavior criteria," a standard previously applied to various bloggers and Michael Savage. During the parliamentary debate, speakers accused Donald Trump of being homophobic and racist, while misquoting his past exchanges with Megyn Kelly regarding his comments about Rosie O'Donnell.

theresa may· home secretary· megan kelly· rosie o'donnell· hate speech

13:56 It was it was a diddy idiotic. The whole thing was idiotic, but let's go on here is the reading of the petition Which kind of gives us the background we need? The first petition reads, the signatories believe that Mr. Donald J Trump should be banned from a UK entry. The UK has banned entry to many individuals for hate speech. The same principle should apply to everyone who wishes to enter the UK. is to continue applying the unacceptable behavior criteria to those who wish to enter its borders. Oh, the unacceptable behavior criteria? Is that a term that we've missed somewhere?

14:40 It's one of the British I think it's not how the Parliament has a list of Criterion one of them is unacceptable behavior and as these this is all by the way These guys arguing doesn't mean anything because it's all determined by the Home Secretary And she has been banning everybody that she can especially anyone who has any Muslim complaints and you say anything bad about the Muslims, you're not getting into Great Britain. If it's become... bloggers! Two famous bloggers were banned. A bunch of bloggers are getting banned from going into England It's hilarious area to those who wish to enter its borders it must be fairly applied to the rich as well as the poor and the weak as well as a powerful. And the other petition reads we shouldn't be banning anyone for their opinions or domestic actions in a US political race that doesn't concern us

15:36 Well, yeah. It doesn't concern me. There are two petitions at the same time. The second one which was the lesser one is saying that the first petition's full of crap and they shouldn't deal with it but... They didn't really talk about that much. All right so let's start with the opening salvo I believe this is one of the there's about four maybe five Muslim women there that were doing all the talking And this to me was the opening salvo. And if I'm not mistaken, having done just recently edited these clips there are literally half a dozen lies

16:15 Throughout the complaints guidance The honorable member for Newport West has already outlined some of the other views that Donald Trump has whether that's views on Mexicans Whether that's views on black people. It was Donald Trump don't forget wait a minute what black people what views are black people? Did I miss something? You missed the lies. This gets better. It was Donald Trump, don't forget who ran a dog whistle campaign against Barack Obama's birth certificate to find out whether the president of America was really American.

16:56 Can you imagine in the mother of parliaments if my colleagues decided to question ethnic minority MPs about whether they were really British? And let me tell you... It's a little different, lady. There is very specific technicality that is being discussed here not to see if they're really British That's bullcrap. I'm going to encourage you to interrupt on this series of clips because this is common. Yeah, really British? And let me tell you... I thank my honourable friend for giving way and if she aware that also some of the things that people find repellent about this individual as he's not a- Repellant isn't it repelling not repellent

17:36 No repellent's good. Oh, okay fair. I thank my honourable friend for giving way Is she aware that also some of the things that people find repellant about this individual is he's not only racist but he is homophobic and misogynistic as well? What?! Homophobic! I haven't heard the homo thing yet, but might as well bring it in. I haven't either. Then the misogynistic thing is questionable so he's racist, homophobic... And misogynistic. Where did the homophobic come from? I can't remember uh.. Well nobody stopped her from going there Of course not! People find repellent about this individual is that he's not only a racist but he's homophobic and misogynistic as well

18:18 I thank the honorable member for her intervention and i'd like to read out what Donald Trump said when asked by Megan Stiles on Fox News. What is he? Megan Styles! Who's Megan Styles?! That's Harry Styles' sister, you know Harry don't you Harry Styles? By the way, they did this constantly. All these British... They kept saying- were quoting people that don't exist Maybe there is a Megan Styles but it wasn't Megan Kelly who she's talking about You know who Harry Styles is don't you Megan Stiles on Fox News. She asked him to explain why he called some women fat pigs, slobs dogs and disgusting animals Wow that's taking a lot of quotes and put it into one little handy ball And Donald Trump replied what I say is what I say

CHAPTER 06 / 46 Discussion

Twitter Verification, Adam Curry Trump Endorsement

Adam Curry discusses his inclusion on a Wikipedia list of celebrities who have endorsed Donald Trump, appearing alongside figures like Ann Coulter. The hosts also touch upon the "unverified" status of certain right-wing Twitter users, characterizing the verification badge as a controversial mark of status within social media.

twitter· wikipedia· ann coulter· adam curry· endorsement

19:15 Oh man, before you go any further. This is unbelievable! These are just blatant lies Yes He did... this was taken completely out of context The first thing he said out of his mouth after she accused him of calling women certain names She says only Rosie O'Donnell Which if you look into it is pretty true It's all Rosie O'Donnell yeah It's all Rosie O'Donnell Now before we continue, I probably should mention this as people will be listening to the show. I went a bit viral since our last program unbeknownst to me...I think you know the guy there was some right-wing guy who was on Twitter and he got unverified? We didn't really talk about it but i'm sure you saw that

20:00 No. Okay, some guy was like I don't know he has like 600 thousand followers and then unverified He got unverified which is hilarious Did he change his name or something? Because if you change your name you can get unverified Well this shows you the hate of Twitter So they who knows they unverify him And i think he's lucky because this verified business Is obviously you know The mark Of The Beast You might want to consider changing yourself Dvorak I'm good so apparently there's a wikipedia page which I was and it really blew up in Holland. And the Wikipedia page shows the list of celebrities, commentators and activists who support oh no who have endorsed Donald Trump and this is about 30 people but of course The C shows up near the top of the list right after Ann Coulter Adam Curry political commentator former MTV VJ and that citation

21:00 is from, I guess what was it? June or July when on the show I said oh I fully endorsed Donald Trump. Which of course I said... You did! Yeah and I'm not denying it but it's very interesting to see the tweets like Well I always thought that guy was a moron when I watched him on TV Oh man first he married Patricia Pye then now he's endorsing Trump What an idiot So I'm not, I am not at all going to just to keep it going. I want people to go this is interesting. Well, I will tell anyone out there who's just new to the show what was really what you really meant for your edification? What he meant was this is gonna be great for the show. Yes exactly because it's going to be great for the show and in fact it is and we get a lot of material and we get this hateful British

21:57 I mean, this is the British...this is the Parliament. This is the people that run England and they are extremely…I mean there's a bunch of logic that they involve themselves with but the Muslim side of this, they don't want to listen at all and then they lie as you could tell from this last clip. Let's do some more lies! Give me some more lies! Give me another bundle. Well let's see what we got. There's plenty of lies to come. Well, I'll tell you what let's go to Good work on this one. I like this is very good But I don't want it it's what the one guy who's not a Muslim but he represents a lot of Muslims He's Birmingham's MP mm-hmm and he is the worst and I think there's a bunch of lies in here too, but does not realize but I would say more misrepresentation with this guy this guy's name is Jack Bromley and

CHAPTER 07 / 46 Discussion

Jack Bromley, Global Warming, Border Walls

MP Jack Bromley criticized Donald Trump in Parliament for his comments on global warming being a Chinese hoax and his remarks regarding John McCain's status as a war hero. The debate also touched on Trump's proposal for a southern border wall, which some MPs defended by noting the United Kingdom's own strict border controls outside the Schengen area.

jack bromley· global warming· john mccain· mexico· border wall

22:53 And I'm sure the British can be quite proud of Mr. Bromley, who actually chewed out one of the other parliamentarians during...I don't have this clip in here but The guy comes in and interjects on one of these British jokes, and the guy says this is...and he gets any jumps on him. He said this is no laughing matter! This is not time for levity! He goes on about that, and the guy really grimaced when he said this. He was irked that Bromley was all over this but here's...let's try Bromley 1. This is where it starts. Now some of the foolish things that Donald Trump has said. Global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non-competitive. It's freezing... Ban him! I don't think Trump said that exactly, but I like it. The interpretation is okay. No he didn't. It's just a misrepresentation but ban him for saying it. ...non competitive. It's freezing and snowing in New York we need global warning. He John McCain's not warm... Even the parliament thinks its funny

23:54 Of course. Yeah, and he should be banned for making jokes! It's freezing and snowing in New York we need global warning He John McCain is not a war hero He is a war hero because he has captured I like people that weren't captured okay? I hate to tell you then went on the offensive If you say Chamberlain was responsible for the world War II Do you not get allowed in or If you say something bad about their own so-called historical figures. If it catches their attention, that's why Michael Savage got banned. Right right they caught his attention. Somebody who has caught some one person's attention... So the British Parliament has pretty much become like a flag button on Facebook

24:43 to flag someone's post as hate speech so that Facebook can go in and delete it. That's kind of what parliament is now. Yeah, they're all on the hate speech thing. I mean a couple of them...I will say there were about three or four guys there that were adamant about this saying you know blaming political correctness and they were very pro-the second petition which is ignore the first petition. This Theresa May is the character in The Home Office that makes the decisions. It's not These debates are just for her to listen to. And she's been a complete maniac about banning people, bloggers Michael Savage you know Trump would be in the target if it hadn't gotten so much attention could have been banned under any other circumstances but the real argument that was going on was if we ban this guy and he becomes president were screwed! Are you nuts? Yeah! And then Muslim women again all I didn't see any men

25:40 women, they said it doesn't what difference does it make? The law is the law. The law's the law. What difference does it make and it was almost kind of... What happened to our special relationship? They don't even care about the future of the British Empire say the least And I think, especially with this group of them in Scotland. They should cut Scotland loose to display the rest of this guy at the end of that. No, no, no. There's more. I hate to tell you they went on to be offensive. He said, I would build a great wall. This is in relation to Mexico and nobody builds walls better than me believe me and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great wall on our southern border and I will have Mexico pay for that wall

26:24 mark my words. Now, I will. The Honourable Member makes an excellent case as to why Donald Trump is a buffoon not a criminal, a buffoon Those remarks are daft and offensive I would defend people's rights. You know, that's pretty rich coming from a country who has blocked off the tunnel they won't let anyone come through the English Channel They've got you know... They're outside the Schengen area because they wanted to protect their borders and regardless of how Donald Trump wants to handle this situation it's not offensive to say we want to build a wall The UK has walls all around its island

CHAPTER 08 / 46 Discussion

Sharia Law, Radicalization, UK Terrorism Threats

Parliamentary discussions linked Trump's rhetoric to a rise in attacks against Muslims while addressing the "generational threat" of terrorism in Britain. The debate explored the idea that radicalization is driven by a sense of victimhood and the strategic efforts of groups in Raqqa to target vulnerable individuals.

sharia law· terrorism· raqqa· isis· radicalization

27:12 Beside the point. Yeah. To be daft and offensive, I was chairman of the National Council for Civil Liberties now Liberty and I fought to defend freedom of speech throughout my life but freedom of speech is not an absolute. Oh! Neither is there a- Pay attention hold on let's uh pay attention while we can shut up slave! Neither is there an absolute right for Donald Trump or anyone else to come to our shores Well okay It's not an absolute right. Not an absolute, well that's true! That is absolutely true. Shut up slave! So Bromley continues I have the second part of him where he gets a little more riled-up as he continues He is just pushing this thing as hard as he can Now first of all what has Donald Trump actually said? Of course legendarily about the total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States He then went on to say as follows

28:07 50% of our country, of those polled agree that Muslims in America should have the choice to be governed according to Sharia. Sharia he said authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans especially women. Little wonder After those remarks, there was a recorded rise in attacks against Muslims in America. Now why do I argue for the exclusion of Donald Trump? Why? I do so because if I can turn Mr Chairman to the context of us having this debate There is a uniquely awful threat facing our country A generational threat of evil terrorism We are now seeing terrorist arrests at the rate of one a day in Britain

29:02 Key to preventing terrorist attacks has been the patient building by our police service of good relationships with the Muslim community through neighbourhood policing. That has been key to the successful detection of terrorist after terrorist in our country. And the nature of terrorism confronting our country takes two forms, first is the organised cells organized from Raqqa And secondly, it is a strategy to radicalize the vulnerable. In particular those with mental illness and in particular those who suffer from the victimhood encouraged by ISIS." I'm not quite sure where he went with that? That was rather strange Yeah he went off the rails but did express something they have been wanting to discuss

29:59 probably for five or six shows, which I'll just discuss in brief. The idea... the naive idea that it's only the insane that are radicalized. And it's only insane Muslims, by the way? Yeah only insane Muslims so... Not at all racist or anything! No there is no racism there but if you're an insane Muslim you might get radicalized by Raqqa and by playing the victim card. Does this throw back to- In fact people who have really studied this will tell you that The ideology that they're selling, the ISIS folks are selling is very attractive to young males.

CHAPTER 09 / 46 Discussion

ISIS Recruitment, Jihadi Tinder Concept

Analysts examine the use of social media and blogs, such as those by "Bird of Jannah," as recruitment tools for ISIS that romanticize life in the caliphate. The hosts joke about the need for a "Jihadi Tinder" to match the modern "swipe left, swipe right" culture used in online extremist recruitment.

isis· recruitment· bird of jannah· tinder· jihadis

30:43 In fact, I have a little clip. Hold on a second so we just grab it here exactly about that and think you'll like this one here we go she writes in flowery detail of her first meeting with her future husband after a few minutes i flipped my niqab He looked at me our eyes catch each other's I had palpitations This is a young muslim girl who is blogging and using social media and Explains how she fell in love with a an ISIS fighter as faster than the speed of light

31:19 This is a blog written by a woman who calls herself Shams and goes by the handle Bird of Jannah. Analysts say this blog is a recruitment tool for ISIS, targeting mostly women in a match dot com style. Where it's about romance, it's about the perfect life It's about making everything bad in their past go away because now they're going to have the perfect future Experts say there's even a catchphrase circulating...jihadis Jihadis John. Jihadis! The jihadis refers to men who are displaying their masculinity, showing what heroes they are and how amazing they are as good Muslim men who appear and you're willing to fight. You know these guys doing it all wrong

32:07 The kids today want a swipe left, swipe right opportunity. They need a Tinder for the jihadis. Double their recruitment numbers. Yes! They need a jihadi's tinder. Part of an explosion or grinder of online recruiting for ISIS that is eye-catching and inviting young women are promised free housing health care cars men are promised beautiful brides true to the faith And in many cases it seems to be working I'm thinking this is recruitment right here That's working Yeah, it's got nothing to do with insanity. No, he's hot babes brought this guy Jack Bromley And to our British listeners he's an asshole yeah, yeah okay? Yep, and I said okay. Yeah alright Let's go on to we're wrapping this up. I like Let's go to now. This is a Scott woman She's the one who was a very attractive you kind of angry Muslim woman

CHAPTER 10 / 46 Discussion

Scottish National Party, Saudi Arabia Christian Ban

A Scottish MP argued that Trump's proposed policies would prevent Muslim members of the British Parliament from traveling to the United States. In response, other speakers noted the historical ban on Christians entering Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia, highlighting perceived double standards in international religious freedom.

33:02 And she is the one that's leading the charge, it seems to me. At least she's doing the best job and she's a heartbeat because she keeps coming in when everyone says anything she wants they interrupts always interrupting and these are called Scott girl interventions in this didn't do any committee meeting that like this as a committee yeah when somebody writes around They interrupt but it's called an intervention and they can get to say something for a minute only if addressed only have called upon They have to be called upon after being knowledge. That's where everyone stands up right they stand up and no No, this is a small group This is not where anyone stands up. In fact, they do stand up when they go to the next speaker in a similar way but it's different structures overall structures different. Yeah okay you're gonna play that she yeah okay play this I'm sorry

33:59 I thank the Member for his intervention and it is within the gift of the British state about which he speaks to deal with Mr Trump in the same manner as we've dealt with other people. And i accept that you have referred a to mr trump's buffoonery but I have to say that his remarks are condemning an entire religion, a faith which I practice. It may be difficult for people to understand how that affects us but it does because he's talking the And we talked about this on the last show, but once you get stuck with something gets plastered on you with Trump. You know it started with the American dream is dead and they didn't finish his quote and then we need to stop all Muslims until we figure out what's going on This twisting and the hate that I'm receiving for being on a list which is always nice A-You're on a list B-You get hate for it

35:04 People just have not put in any effort to see what was really said. They are all in all believing of the what the media tells them even people I kind of respect for their intelligence it's well you're made a mistake I did Mr Trump policy would make impossible for me other Muslim friends of America to travel to his country, to make the same case there that we are making here. This Parliament can be extremely proud of its improving record in electing strong Muslim MPs across this ice to represent their constituents' interests but Mr Trump would ban the new members for Ealing Central and Acton, Hampstead and Kilburn, Weald and Bradford West and Bradford East from entering USA and allowing us to make our case there."

35:50 Now, the funny thing about this entire debate especially on the side of the Muslims that are bitching is they've assumed that he's already done this. and they're gonna ban him because he is a suggestion. He's a guy who's just talking right now, it just a suggestion yeah by the way there's one little aside here which is uh something this guy there's one black guy who was there and I don't get his name because they wouldn't give him a lower third but he's a very erudite character and he kept directing stuff that was like, I think this is like the argument to use if it comes up in the conversation and somebody starts to talk about the situation. This is the Saudi bands of Christian kicker play this. Okay President or he's got the right to offend but lots of my constituents think like that would he get the same treatment that Donald Trump is getting from this government? Very pleased on that very point about

36:48 banning heads of state. It's widely known that Mecca has been banned for Christians for hundreds of years, yet we entertain and have entertained the king of Saudi Arabia in the Mecca and Medina are prescribed for Christians." Oh don't try to put any logic into the conversation! That won't help no no no no No, yeah. They brought up that side when he's on the side of that this should not be accepted as a concept Okay He has some pretty good arguments that guy and including a history lesson which I Couldn't clip it was just too long but it was a very funny history lesson about some of our policies United States over the years and how this is hardly anything worth talking about

CHAPTER 11 / 46 Discussion

Theresa May, Exclusion Statistics, US Constitutional Balance

Since 2010, Home Secretary Theresa May has excluded 84 individuals from the UK for hate speech. The hosts critique the British misunderstanding of the American political system, noting that the U.S. President is not a dictator and is subject to congressional and judicial checks and balances.

theresa may· home office· exclusion· checks and balances· constitution

37:36 Let's go on. This is the Scott girl on her personal offense, this is a classic I thank the member for his intervention and it is within the gift of The British state about which he speaks to deal with mr Trump in the same manner as we've dealt with other people And I accept that you have referred to Mr.. Trump's buffoonery But I have to say that his remarks are This is the same clip is it different. It sounds no, maybe did you play clip one before I think I did That's strange play clip 1 again. Yeah, maybe I didn't I'm sorry It certainly not only contrary to our values but country to our national security National Security of our friends in the USA he threatens to our own security

38:26 Since her appointment as Home Secretary in 2010, Theresa May has already banned hundreds of individuals from the UK. Her job directly is to protect public safety and promote our security She has already explicitly excluded 84 people for hate speech Under her judgement my view is that Donald Trump should be numbered 85 So let me just get this right So, this woman is complaining about giving Donald Trump access to the UK but at the same time the UK is banning people for hate speech across-the board. Yeah And she's mad at Donald Trump for wanting to ban Muslims entrance into the United States until we quote have this figured out which is a strong statement

39:14 But she's saying that the way she plays it though, she plays it as if he has already made the ban and is president. Yeah this is a strange thing how do they come up with this? One guy came out one of the parliamentarians said that she doesn't...she and her cohorts there was group of these women sitting there didn't understand the American system. He says, the president is not a dictator he's not a royal right? Right. He's one group of a balanced system and you have to have Congress and the judicial system involved with stuff like this. And she said to them directly, You just don't understand how that system works

CHAPTER 12 / 46 Discussion

British National Party, Free Speech, Nick Griffin

A debate over the British National Party (BNP) and its former leader Nick Griffin serves as a case study for free speech. While Griffin's appearance on "Question Time" led to a temporary surge in membership, it ultimately resulted in the party's fragmentation and loss of official status, supporting the argument that open debate can neutralize fringe movements.

bnp· nick griffin· free speech· electoral commission· question time

39:55 And, you know... Obviously. There's a lot of insults going on there. Now there was one thing that I thought was kind of an off... That I thought was one of the more important clips and this one doesn't have the hearing... The clip is fringe candidates. And I want to explain this clip and I think it explains a lot. This is a woman who's against banning and she's explaining how free speech helps get get people to understand what's going on and how it's going on. And it's important to have free speech. How people feel, and have diversity of thoughts... And gets stuff out the way! Now one of the Muslims who I don't have too many clips-I do not have any clips of her but she is the one who... Oh actually she may be been the first at the beginning very snide, snotty looking woman who was just sneering the whole time

40:49 intervenes in this particular little discussion with a Point that is missing the point to such an extreme and I want to explain it maybe after this This complete discussions completely over but play fringe candidates from run Mr.. Comley, New Hampshire and Massachusetts are both going through drug epidemic Stop stop that wrong clip. That's the wrong clip okay alright. I got a finders didn't sound very British while you're looking at very British yeah no Haiti IRS for another new ninth planet Is it on the back page? Okay, well let me just dig in a clip. Let me just explain what happens. She talks about the BNP party and how it went on television and was getting traction. And then after they got yacked and yacked and yakked, the public stopped voting for these people and then the party was banned because didn't have enough support.

41:45 After she discussed how this works, the woman—the anti-Trump woman on the other side—she says well if you didn't know after this guy spoke on television they accumulated 3,000 new members. And 3,000 new members joined and it's about 8 million who watched. And then the other woman had to come back and say, well that's always gonna happen. And when you listen to this thing... I have to get this for the next show because when you listened to it, you're hearing an absolutist about if somebody is bad- Is it not the BMP story in The Basic Problem perhaps? Is that what it says? Oh yeah there it is now listen to this carefully because this is your cultural

42:34 impasse. This is a super bad situation the way I see it if somebody actually thinks like this and you have a cultural problem in Great Britain, if you have people like this with this sort of screwball logic Limiting free speech does not always quash unwelcome beliefs. France has more laws restricting free speech than any other Western democracy, it also has Europe's largest far-right party In 2009 Nick Griffin appeared on Question Time watched by 8 million people At the time the BNP polled 6.26% of the national vote

43:13 But in the first general election after that, not only did they fail to win a seat but they fragmented in the polls. And last week it was announced by the Electoral Commission that the BNP had been stripped of its status as an official political party. Let me just finish the point... The new statesman referred to performance on question time as a factor in eroding Nick Griffin's popularity and support for the BNP To persuade those who may share the beliefs of the Speaker, we need to do more than silence them. We need to address the real grievances of those who may support them. We need to listen and take note and then respond. Put them on a list and chop their heads off! I thank the Honourable Member for giving way.

44:07 Does the Honourable Lady know that after Nick Griffin appeared on Question Time, in the 24 hours after he appeared 3,000 people joined the BNP immediately after he had a platform? It's important to have free speech and so that we have debate. So Nick Griffin's discussion at question time will evoke a number of responses, of course there will be people when there is an advocate for something, of course there will always be people who follow them and that may be a small minority but what we need to do is put those voices out there in order to slam them down and that ultimately as what has happened to the BNP

44:50 Now, if you really understood what just took place which I prefaced apparently that is a very very disconcerting back and forth. In other words you have a guy you don't like He gets some air time, he makes a fool out of himself and then the party falls apart and never heard from again. But that's not what is important! Did you know that 3,000 people joined the party right after they hear him speak? We can't have that! No this isn't that because it says the mind control is working For the wrong people I consider this the most disconcerting segment of the entire Yeah, the idea is that someone has thoughts and ideas and then people join in and that's bad. Yeah It's bad hmm a lot of hate speech thing is bad enough to way it works But this was I mean they did if you've been to the Middle East

CHAPTER 13 / 46 Discussion

Intelligence Services, British Public Sentiment

The hosts mock the rhetoric of British politicians regarding the role of secret intelligence in "protecting freedoms." They characterize the parliamentary debate as an insult to the American electorate and a sign of the "deplorable" state of political discourse in the United Kingdom.

intelligence· gitmo nation east· surveillance· civil liberties

45:51 Anywhere in the Middle East. I've been to Dubai. Read, read the newspapers Our great leader you know they go on and on these princes these principalities and there's no dissent You say something if you were a blogger you get your head chopped off Yeah, yes, arrested and decapitated beheaded. And this is fine with this woman and these women that were representing the side of the debate? Well maybe I should remind everybody what their own politicians sound like there in Gitmo Nation East, and of course i'm not talking about the people who live there who are just suppressed repressed you know being trounced on here's what your politician sounds like lady. Intelligence work takes place within a strong legal framework we operate under the ruler and are accountable for it

46:44 In some countries, secret intelligence is used to control their people. In ours it only exists to protect their freedoms. Protect their freedoms. Protect their freedoms. Protect their freedoms." Alright remember that one people! Your freedoms will be protected Anyway, I found the whole thing deplorable. It's all kinds of dimensions and it was there was some humor in there And it was kind of funny to watch the real upper crust types You know just pooh-poohing the whole thing and turning up their nose at everything but for the most part it was deplorable It was a embarrassment and just you know, you know, we was insulting to the American it was insulting to the American electorate To the electorate yes absolutely

CHAPTER 14 / 46 Discussion

Sharia Bot, Artificial Intelligence Concept

The hosts propose a satirical product called "Sharia Bot," an artificial intelligence tool designed to provide Sharia-compliant solutions for everyday problems, such as removing clothing stains. They discuss the potential for a database-driven app that applies religious law to various life scenarios.

shariabot· artificial intelligence· skip logic· product concept

47:33 Yeah, with all of this Sharia law talk going on I had an idea after a Sunday show. I've read the book The Sharia Law there's a translation it's a pretty thick book hardcover i'd say its about three and half inches thick And in this book it has every bit of life that anything you might encounter, it has solutions for. Such as you get a stain on your clothes and in the Sharia law book at least the one I read and I'm gonna...I presume its correct translation They have, you know... Okay if you have a protein stain here's how you get rid of it. If there is different kind of stain here and I'm thinking to myself, self what a fantastic opportunity for skip logic artificial intelligence robot You just program all this stuff in and whatever happens to you the Sharia bot will take care of it because it knows exactly what to do

48:33 What do you think? I think it's a product. And i've already registered... Find no agenda products! I've already registered shariabot.com Maybe we just started off with the database where you can just type in, um, you know fell down scrape my knee and the Sharia Bot will tell you what to do Why not? No, I'm just putting it out there for our many producers Does it have this stuff about chopping hands off? Oh of course it does yeah It'll actually do that for you if you request You know, would you like to stay in Europe or do you want to go through two US elections I could do a quick little

CHAPTER 15 / 46 Discussion

Schengen Agreement, European Migration Crisis, Donald Tusk

Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, warned that the Schengen Agreement could collapse within two months if the migration crisis is not brought under control. The potential end of free movement poses a significant threat to the German economy, which relies heavily on open borders for transit and exports.

schengen agreement· donald tusk· migration· germany· european union

49:36 Well, since we're in Europe. Yeah I'd like to do a few Europe things just we can hit the US shortly There's plenty of good stuff all over the place but did I have maybe a couple more European things too? Yeah so this is Right now we have the Schengen Agreement, which is really along with the euro one of the cornerstones of the whole concept is to have an entire United States of Europe. Although they say oh we don't want that but yeah you do! The United States of Europe with all the borders open everyone can cross back and forth except for the UK of course. They say well we can't be in Schengen we're on island and I agree with that

50:11 But this thing is on the verge of collapse and it's not just us saying it. The Netherlands are far from being alone in the struggle against the influx of migrants into Europe, officials in Brussels even predict that the crisis could end the European Free Movement visa agreement within two months We have no more than 2 months to get things under control The March European Council will be the last moment to see if our strategy works. If it doesn't, we will face grave consequences such as the collapse of Schengen." And that was Tusk who is saying that from Poland so the collapse of Schengen within two months this is now what is being predicted internally This a big problem for Germany. Germany namely surrounded by borders

51:00 You know, they famously do not have a beach. That's why they always go to the Netherlands in Holland every summer. Take the bikes and take the beaches? Well no wait... They take the beaches so they roll up on the beach, they dig these big holes, they put you know huge windbreakers around them and if you happen to be anywhere near any facility that has Beach chairs or lounge chairs, they will be up at 4 30 am placing their towels and other trinkets on the beds to say that this is ours! They have captured the beds. We cannot take them away." The Dutch always make jokes about the Germans. So in order to conduct normal... Racists! Yes, of course. Well there was this little thing a couple years back that got a little... There's a little annoyance between them

51:47 So not having open borders is extremely detrimental to Germany's economy. You need open, or you don't need them but everyone has kind of gotten used to the idea that if you can just roll across the border and you don't have border checks it is going to slow down business, slow down the economy to an extreme degree if they can't stop this collapse of the Schengen area. Now this is... Well, can't Germany just single out... Unilaterally just keep their borders open. They don't get care about the rest Borders are on two sides usually so there's always right, so you can't get out of hello

52:24 Here's true. Now, this is Davos CNBC is there of course and they have a CEO of what's his RWA forget what this company is but He explains it's very problem I think there's no real alternative to what she's doing Yeah people might like something different But it doesn't really work mean closing borders means that a country like Germany which is in the middle Of a lot of business traffic going through that an export country It will fends itself off now That's not gonna work it might even jeopardize the whole euro And I think her way is the right one, but it's a very difficult one. But that's what politicians are for you know not only good times but also bad times to master the challenges. I do think the European approach is the right one and you need

53:06 even stop or channel or organize the migrant streams there where they come in first and not hand them over from one country to another country as unwanted citizens. Yeah, so put them in Rolls Royces I guess? And then I think the European Union needs to get their act together to get this organized otherwise you know the euro when a union would be at jeopardy yes the euro and the union are jeopardy and I do not take these comments lightly I believe that is really happening now Nothing like a little riot in the Netherlands. This is happening on a constant basis where small municipalities, small towns usually more in the rural areas they all of sudden get notice that you're going to get a center here for migrants and we put 500 here which everyone kind of knows usually means double that if not

CHAPTER 16 / 46 Discussion

Dutch Riots, Heesch Asylum Center

Violent protests erupted in the Dutch town of Heesch over plans to build a new asylum center for 500 migrants. Residents expressed frustration over a lack of democratic input and concerns regarding the long-term impact on their community, citing the recent events in Cologne as a primary driver of their anxiety.

netherlands· heesch· riots· asylum seekers· cologne

53:56 If it's 500, it'll be 750 to 1,000. And they'll be here for 10 years and there are no questions asked of course this is a not in my backyard problem which is very typical of all human beings The Dutch though are rioting! Now they're actually up in arms and rioting and what that gives us... This is odd Why is it odd? Because we've been watching the Dutch put up with a lot of crap for years and years and years and years. And why now? I believe, I have predicted that you can only push the Dutch so far look at the 70's man The anarchists in Amsterdam and the squatters and they were throwing hot oil off the roofs onto SWAT teams You can only push them so far What RT does is gives us a little bit of background on the new asylum center in Heche

54:43 which everyone will mispronounce. What's great about this is lots of Dutch people, H-E-S-C-H, Heesj and I really love the Dutch when they're speaking English because these migrants it's completely shit you know? The mayor of the dutch town of Gies has been trying to explain how anti migrant moods ended in a riot in her town earlier this week all of this against the construction of a brand new migrant asylum center People are concerned about what's happened in Cologne. They didn't say we don't refugees, they told me yes we have to help but why in our backyards? Why our backyards put it in the back door? Why so many and why so long but nobody told me we do not want refugees. That is Holland for you!

55:41 More than a thousand people gathered to demonstrate against the new migrant center on Monday evening. The clashes erupted when some of the protesters started throwing objects at the police People say some 500 newcomers that should be hosted in the new center is far too many for a town of only 12,000 I think 500 refugees for this city is too much and too long for 10 years. I think 100 or 3 years is enough Here he has 500 It's too much. Too much, it is just too much people we can't have them all here! You're crazy this is too much I don't the people don't like it go away! Too much and then 10 years only for 1% of the the bevorking is enough. I don't believe that there are refugees. I think refugees are in Turkey and Lebanon, in Jordania And the people who come here

56:32 People who want to prove their luck in Europe. Don't underestimate the Dutch, they have eyes and ears... They rarely say it but here's a Dutch journalist who is explaining a little Dutch journalist Joost Niemoller predicts we'll see more violent outrage in the Netherlands as people grow increasingly frustrated with their politicians What happened here in Heers is one of many examples of these kinds of riots going on at the moment in the Netherlands The main reason why this is happening is because the local people don't have anything to say about what's happening. So they just hear that migrants will be there in their local community and the decision has already been made I'm pretty sure we'll see more of these kinds of attacks on authorities

57:21 You see that the politics are not really talking about it. They are not really trying to figure out how they can stop this whole movement coming in and that means the debate is getting more heated, no so much in the politics but between people Yes! In the bar we talk about it all day It's not okay This thing is... Hey, what you laughing? You don't have it in your backyard yes?! I got my backyard! It's fucked. This has got to be the theme of the EU

CHAPTER 17 / 46 Discussion

EU Gasoline Tax, Austrian Migration Cap

German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble proposed a European Union-wide tax on gasoline to fund the refugee crisis. Meanwhile, Austria announced a cap on the number of asylum seekers it will accept, signaling a breakdown in the pan-European approach to managing the influx of migrants.

wolfgang schauble· gasoline tax· austria· vienna· migration cap

58:03 Where they just tell you, there's no discussion. It is not a democratic system I think Farage has always bitched about this and nobody is elected They don't care There are no constituencies that you have to appeal or appease You have to appease anybody Just say we're putting 500 here Shut up. And now the what I understand is Germany, this comes from German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble has called for a new EU wide tax on gasoline to pay for the refugee crisis You know that were the EU was already has already paid nine billion and another seven billion on the way mainly to Turkey

58:42 And now they want the German, and of course Germany kind of runs Europe at the moment. Yeah we might as well have a whole... Everybody in the EU should this is what they said would never happen! We wouldn't have an army, we wouldn't you know be levying taxes directly from Brussels and here it is Wow. Yes, this is World War III or they say it's not really this war yet? No. So let's play this little clip. This is Austria has decided to like kind of all countries I mean there the last you'd think would start to rebel again. They're just sitting there waiting for Germany to attack aren't they? Isn't that what always happens well eventually that probably will happen again but the Austrians are fed up

59:30 Tonight Austria sends what it calls a wake-up call for Europe. Vienna is to slash the number of asylum seekers it has prepared to accept after saying Europe has failed to protect its borders With Slovenia and Croatia following suit attempts to find a pan European solution to the migration crisis seem to be faltering Our first report looks at the Austrian move There'll be even tougher checks here in the future. Austria wants to reduce the number of incoming refugees The government came to agreement on the new policy at a meeting in Vienna Chancellor Werner Feynman laid out his reasons The measures must be humane, the measures must have meaning, the measures must apply to a European international level but also to each individual country

CHAPTER 18 / 46 Discussion

Cultural Clashes, Rotterdam Mayor, Migrant Aggression

An anonymous report in Die Welt detailed the experiences of a female worker at a Hamburg asylum center who quit due to threats and a lack of respect from migrants. The hosts also discuss an anecdote involving the Muslim mayor of Rotterdam, suggesting that cultural differences regarding the treatment of women are creating friction in European cities.

die welt· rotterdam· morocco· cultural differences· hamburg

1:00:20 Roughly 90,000 people applied for asylum in Austria last year. One of the highest levels per capita in the entire EU with a population of just 8.5 million Austria intends to cap the number of arrivals over the next four years You know there was a, see it was an article I caught it in the Dutch paper but its believed by a German woman who is working at one of these asylum centers. She's been doing this since the fall of 2015 and I am translating a little bit on the fly. So apparently this was posted anonymously in Die Welt

1:00:55 And she said she really was looking forward to working with the asylum seekers and migrants. She was really a dream job, and she says that in one of the Hamburg asylum centers were there 1500 migrant asylum seekers or whatever you want to call them but she said it was so horrible that every single day they would come up to her Where's my house? Where is the car and where is my good job, how come I don't have that?" And if I said well it just not going to go that quickly. They got aggressive threatened to kill me and she had to quit! Mainly she said there was just absolutely no respect towards her as a human being moreover the way she describes it as a woman

1:01:52 And I need to connect that to Christina, who now is working in like a miniature Whole Foods organic store. They have like six stores throughout the Netherlands and the main one is in Rotterdam. So she deals with people you know it's with money who come into buy overpriced produce and the mayor of Rotterdam whose Muslim...I believe he's originally Moroccan He came in and and Christina had to turn to her colleagues later and said well that guy was such an asshole he really really really doesn't like women, and she could feel that. And the other women who were working I could feel it as well That's the mayor! The mayor of the city where she lives and works

1:02:40 And she said, yeah they just that guy was just really unfriendly towards me and he she felt that that and she didn't even connect everything necessarily. But I was talking to him about what's going on so crap the mayor of Rotterdam is well in the same way! So these are cultural things that are oh yeah, and complicated things complicated. It's not a good or bad thing It's a cultural thing you just have to if you don't like that Why are you inviting it in now the Austrian comment? That was just subtle But I think it and it's not really appreciated by the Americans in particular is that The claim from the Prime Minister. I think was prime minister said that

CHAPTER 19 / 46 Discussion

Balkan Mosque Construction, Wahhabism, Saudi Influence

Reports indicate that Qatar and Saudi Arabia are purchasing land and constructing hundreds of Wahhabist mosques in Macedonia and Kosovo. This encroachment is viewed as a strategic spread of radical ideology throughout the Balkans, funded by Saudi interests.

macedonia· kosovo· saudi arabia· wahhabism· mosques

1:03:19 The EU is not protecting its borders. No, and it's not as though Austria has to deal with I mean they would because it was assumed that once the Schengen agreement and everything got to the point where you didn't have to put all these guard gates up all around your country in the Germans and Austria both are landlocked It was assumed once you let this thing slide, you didn't have to worry. Yeah okay maybe some people floating around it's not a big deal but you didn't have tens of thousands of people pouring into the EU unabated. Well there is another issue that was brought up on secure message from one of our military contacts

1:03:59 that the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are buying land with lots of houses on it in Macedonia. We have, the Saudis have built over 200 mosques in Kosovo that you know... You can kind of see a little bit of an encroachment or surrounding if you will taking place this has not been spoken about yet in the news It will come up And by the way, the Saudi mosques are all radical. Yeah! The Saudis only build Wahhabist mosques They build them... there's a bunch in the United States they're all over Europe they're everywhere because they spend a lot of their money doing this nobody has bothered to stop them Salafists and Wahhabist mosques

1:04:44 They all carry the same anti-Jewish stuff, literature. And they're all over the place and if the Saudis are behind it then it's not a good thing. No. And I so wish to protect that kingdom... In Bosnia? Well no, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia you have this... You put these radicals all around you. It's like counterintuitive way of keeping yourself in business. Because these same radicals would just as soon blow you up. Yeah, well again that's cultural. That's cultural in Saudi Arabia. That's cultural we don't really know. George Soros though did come out and he said the quote is Europe is on the verge of collapse and this was written in the New York Review of Books

George Soros, Angela Merkel, Episode 792 Artwork

George Soros characterized Angela Merkel as the leader of the free world following the Russian intervention in Ukraine, while warning that the EU is on the verge of collapse. The hosts also acknowledge the show's artwork for episode 792, featuring Ronald Reagan, provided by a listener known as 20 Watt Bulb.

george soros· angela merkel· vladimir putin· ronald reagan· episode 792

1:05:34 Soros? Soros, yes. As you know... I've been critical of the Chancellor in the past and remain very critical over austerity policy but after Russian President Vladimir Putin attacked Ukraine she became the leader of the European Union therefore indirectly of the free world Wow he's saying Merkel is the leader of the free world There is plenty to be nervous about. As she correctly predicted, the EU is on the verge of collapse. The Greek crisis taught the European authorities the art of modeling through one crisis after another. This practice is popularly known as kicking the can down the road although it would be more accurate to describe it as kicking a ball uphill so that it keeps rolling back down.

1:06:25 I think my Soros is getting better. Soros, that guy. You can get a ball of bale With that i think i should thank you for your courage and passion keep pushing and in the morning to you John C Dvorak Well uh it would have to return the favor and say in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry also in the morning all ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there. And In The Morning To 20 Watt Bulb brought us the artwork for episode 7-9 or 1 This was nice this was Ronald Reagan with posterized with his pipe with the soot coming out somehow this soot thing really caught on with people

1:07:17 Thank you, S&J Shanghai. We got good stuff today Pretty good anyway. Thank you 20 watt bulb, and we would love to see as much artwork as possible It's very important to our entire overall strategy of getting people to pay attention and different artwork for every album artwork for every show really helps With that mission no agenda art generator comment thank you all for your courage and passion

Jada Pinkett Smith, Oscar Boycott, Aunt Viv Response

Actress Janet Hubert, known for her role as "Aunt Viv" on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, criticized Jada Pinkett Smith's call for a black actor boycott of the Oscars. Hubert argued that the boycott is a personal reaction to Will Smith not being nominated and that actors have more pressing financial concerns than award show politics.

jada pinkett smith· spike lee· janet hubert· fresh prince· oscars

1:20:03 I was realizing that it was operating under the opinion, since maybe didn't get enough sleep that this was Sunday. It happens to me all the time. But it's annoying because what it is like...I had to think to myself because when I woke up I thought it was Sunday cause I was thinking oh maybe there are certain things on these different days and I say well I got to get ready for this and actually worse than that I was thinking might be Saturday Okay, anyway. I think we need lots of donations and the promises offset We if we did a show every five days a week And then had a normal weekend like them you know they're like normal people slave yeah Like probably I'd have I'd have I'd have I'd have a nice love life But I don't get to do Saturdays

1:20:52 Yeah, no you can't do Saturdays. No I can't do Saturdays in... It's just show night and yeah You could once in a while you could prep on Friday Nah it's really not possible Some prep on Saturday during the day It's really not possible because you have to be you know you gotta stay up Sunday morning I'm already looking and clipping stuff that's brand new there is just no time but doesn't matter I understand the problem it happens all the time Okay, so a couple of now this Oscar's so white thing Which just a quick review struck beautifully in the last show people should go back and listen to that show Yeah I think the deconstruction was pretty darn good And the main things remember are that of the 6,000 members of the Academy all? 6000 plus our secret you can you can go back and figure out some people who are a member at first if you're nominated You're always asked

1:21:42 If you win, you're always asked. But you don't have to have either of those to be asked but it's in general there is no published list Nobody knows so when people say it's 95% white they don't know that When they say... You know It's all old white men They don't know that They don't! But there are a number of people who we will recognize Who are going to be speaking in a moment And The first person I wanted to bring up here now We have So Jada Pinkett Smith is out there saying, oh we should boycott the Oscars. And we have Spike Lee standing beside her and amidst all of this, it is really only abusing the American public and the fragile race relations that have been created over the past decade to promote this crappy ass show! Again who gives a crap about the Oscars?

1:22:37 This was said quite eloquently by Janet Hubert. She is an actress, she played Aunt Viv on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air you recall? I think there were two Aunt Vives...I'm not sure if she was the first one or the second one it's kind of like a bewitched thing going on and she had a message which he put out there to Jada Pinkett Smith which i think really touched on all the bases. I want to say something about Jada Pinkett Smith asking other actors, black actors and actresses to boycott the Oscars. First of all Miss Thing, does your man not have a mouth of his own with which to speak?

1:23:21 The second thing is, girlfriend there's a lot of shit going on in the world that you all don't seem to recognize. People are dying and our borders are being shot left and right people are hungry people are starving people trying to pay bills And you talk about some motherfucking actors uh in Oscars and it just ain't that deep for you to ask other actors and other blacktrices. I like that, blacktrices, blackters and blacktrises we should be using that John! Blackters and black dress. Yeah, so she would be a black dress actors to jeopardize their career and they're standing in the town that you know damn well you don't do that And here's the other thing they don't care They don't care Ironic that somebody who has made their living made them living in me millions of millions of dollars

1:24:20 from the very people that you're talking about boycotting just because you didn't get a nomination, just because you didn't win. Love it? That is not the way life works baby! Maybe you didn't deserve a nomination I don't think frankly you deserved a Golden Globe nomination with that accent but you got one That shitty ass accent. You should even gotten that nomination and what was she talking about for golden globes? She was nominated for something, but she wasn't so Viv here is taking the opinion that Jade is doing this because neither her husband or she were nominated for an Oscar. I didn't think frankly you deserve a golden globe nomination with that accent, but you got one. And just because the world don't go the way you want it to go

1:25:04 Doesn't mean that you can go out and then you start asking people to stand up and sing. We shall overcome for you. You ain't Barack and Michelle Obama, no way y'all need to get over yourself. Hell yeah! You have a huge production company that's only produce your friends, your family and yourself so you are apart of Hollywood. You are part of the system that is unfair to other actors So get real Now those who say Miss Huber here she goes And she go being bitter. Bitches please! She's not about being bitter, it's about being right You know some of us got mortgages to pay we got bills to pay and we've got bigger shit to worry about than the Oscars Very good very good Aunt Viv very very happy with that How did she where did that show up? On YouTube

Michael Moore, Hollywood Segregation, Affirmative Action

Michael Moore, a member of the Academy's Board of Governors, describes the film industry as "stunningly segregated" and dominated by white men. Moore advocates for affirmative action within Hollywood to address the lack of people of color in decision-making positions, comparing the industry's lack of diversity unfavorably to Detroit's General Motors.

michael moore· hollywood· segregation· affirmative action· chris hayes

1:25:57 YouTube's yeah, then that was a you know using she says it she says of two or three shotguns Yeah She says it hate speech though. She got to be careful hate speech Hate speech for sure Michael Moore has been in the news because of Flint Michigan and the lead poisoning But he of course was then asked by I think he was on with I don't remember, was it Don Lem? No. Anyway he's asked about this now Michael Moore did a pretty good job of explaining how it works and admitting that he is also a member of the Academy although uh... he only votes in the documentary series which is the way it works. You should explain this that most people only vote in their subcategories

1:26:41 Right, so there's about 1600 actors in the actor category including it's actors male and female and transgendered whatever you want to be. And they can only vote for actors but they all get to vote! You can... well Michael Moore explains it. Yeah I said I stand with Spike and Jada this is wrong not just in terms of the Oscars but really it's the industry I just served a term recently on the board of governors, uh, a couple years ago. So he is one of these old white dudes because the board of governors is, is, uh, it's a more powerful body than just the... the individual categories. So he has a lot to say over his particular category, but also the entire board of governors admits people into the system at the Oscars and representing the documentary branch. And I know that amongst the board of governors and amongst the people that run the academy they are absolutely disgusted with this all

1:27:36 all white nature that keeps happening every year. So if they're all disgusted, yet they are voting doesn't isn't that a little creepy? I think they're going to fix it and I think I and others who symbolically stand with Spike and Jada. Well what's there to fix its easy. We'll help this along but its the industry Chris, its It's an industry that is so white and so male. And the academy too, demographically it's incredible. What? Did you say something? Chris Hayes. It's an industry that is so white and so male. And the academy too, I mean... Now please pay attention he is talking about the movie industry these are powerful people who move and shake with the democrats He is talking about the actual power of Hollywood and he saying they're white A-holes

1:28:34 I just want all Democrats to realize that's who your friends are. Graphically, it is incredible because the actual voters... Because they work in this industry. I mean literally i can go to LA for two or three days let's say if I got there gotta take some meetings for my next movie or whatever They put me in a West Hollywood hotel and I could go to meeting in Century City, a meeting in Burbank, a meeting in Santa Monica Three days later I've not encountered a single African-American in any position of any decision-making power or authority. It is stunning how segregated the town is, how the industry is

1:29:13 You know, it's the General Motors of that town. Yeah you couldn't go to General Motors in Detroit and for three days at GM not encounter a black American who has some power there so It's it's a real problem That's got to get corrected within the industry itself and as Spike said today There needs to be real affirmative action with this and with race with gender All right, we need affirmative actions. Yeah that'll do it before you go on this is typically how Democrats solve things though it's not fair well we'll just fuck voting who cares if anyone's good or not? We need to just put some minorities up in the winning circle I agree but since you brought Chris Hayes into the picture I have to stop right now to stop the show Oh hold on a second because and then you know what he said Right right right

Chris Hayes, Stacey Dash, BET Controversy

The hosts mock MSNBC's Chris Hayes for his repetitive use of the word "right" during interviews. They also discuss Stacey Dash's controversial comments on Fox News, where she argued for the elimination of BET and Black History Month in the interest of true integration.

chris hayes· stacey dash· bet· black history month· mark cantor

1:30:04 New record a new record hey saying right in his normal conversation four times in five seconds and setting the 25 second record with six rights Let's play Chris, and I will ring the bell okay? Hey all of them There's something too, right? If what you say is true. Right if this would be a huge risk and that's clear to you And here's this person who it's frankly in terms of the spectrum of American politics would be something quite different. If Hillary Clinton can't beat that person in the primary well then she's not a very good political candidate anyway I mean from pure electability standpoint like It's in some ways it sort of should cash out whether Jonathan Chait nudges it that way or not

1:30:56 Six I'll give it to you What a douche and right, right? Right. But the four in five seconds was dynamite dynamite what a dick Right, right Look right now we have Stacy Dash who is an actress TV actress But she somehow is also a political, media commentator. Mainly she's a moron Here is her weighing in on the Oscars boycott. Joining us now to weigh-in actress and Fox News contributor Stacey Dash. Stacey good morning to you. Good morning What do you think about this?

1:31:43 I think it's ludicrous. Why? Because we have to make up our minds, either we want to have segregation or integration and if we don't want segregation then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET awards and the image awards where you're only awarded if your black. Okay I think that this is a news model who has been wound up, they've plugged a whole bunch of sentences and key phrases into her brain. Who goes on there and says well let me just ratchet this up a little bit? We shouldn't even have Black History Month! We should not have BET as channel!"

1:32:25 If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. Well yeah of course but that doesn't work that way anymore darling you can say the comb over cracker with this is another one I saw this was Mark Cantor John you know Mark Cantor oh yeah I've known mark for years so Mark Cantor is back he He's back in Silicon Valley after, you know, he basically had to go reinvent himself. He comes back and he set something up with this cola dot IO interesting companies already out of that. And then he posts this thing on the face bag and it's like a asshole comb over cracker. I mean, yeah, it was like over cracker. Yeah. Why don't just call you a Jew ass? I mean come on man, that's not okay just because we can, I guess we can call ourselves crackers and honkeys doesn't make it right

Al Sharpton, Stacey Dash Non-Sequitur, Blowfly Death

Al Sharpton has joined the Oscar boycott movement, using the analogy that Hollywood is like the Rocky Mountains: "the higher you get, the whiter." The hosts critique Stacey Dash for a non-sequitur regarding President Obama's funding and the lack of black movie roles, and they note the passing of early hip-hop pioneer Blowfly.

al sharpton· stacey dash· blowfly· hip hop· msnbc

1:33:13 Dick come on mark. It's a double standard So you say there shouldn't be a BET change? No, I don't think so no just like this shouldn't be a black history month You know it were Americans period that's it. Are you saying there shouldn't be a black history month because there isn't a white history? Exactly Okay, that was dumb and now now the dumbness really kid by the way people should I don't know as they know this I'm just looking at her I remember seeing her she's black yes Oh yeah, she's important then you know that she's a black truce. She's a black truce. She's the black truth Yes, very good point. Exactly! Al Sharpton has jumped on this boycott bandwagon That's some news I didn't know Oh well there you go, surprising it took so long By the way she has a nice sultry voice when she talks She is very pretty Hey you know what? I think that it cool So do you think that Sharpton has jumped in as an outsider or maybe as part of it

1:34:16 Well, I didn't know that he jumped in. I didn't know either so I had to listen to him He's gotten so much money and is semi-retired And still has the show? Maybe they kicked him off on it No, maybe Sunday morning They moved him for an hour or something Yeah, I thought he was killing it actually in terms of numbers but maybe not There's no real conference! I think that MSNBC is trying to change its image and change it's model. Oh yeah, oh they're totally trying to do that. Alright, boycott bandwagon he says don't watch because Hollywood here's a quote Hollywood has become like the Rocky Mountains the higher you get the whiter

1:34:58 But why do you get? Well, that's not necessarily true. And if it is, you know, that needs to change what I find astounding is that we've had a listen here is the here's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. You ready? You know, that needs to change what I find astounding is that we've had a president who was black in office for the past eight years who gets most of his funding from the liberal elite in Hollywood. Yet there are not very many roles for people of color, can that be? And why is it just now being addressed?" Okay so the president... What?! The president gets money from the American people but yet there are no roles for black actors

1:35:43 What? I don't even see the connection. There's no connection, that's the whole point! She is an idiot and Fox hired her for this. We've had a president who was black in office for the past 8 years who gets most of his funding from the liberal elite in Hollywood yet there are not very many roles People of color how can that be and why is it just now being addressed? So that would be the definition Perfect. It'd be good if you could just write it out the definition of a non sequitur Yes, that is a non sequitur indeed a non sequitur and she gets paid money to deliver us on MSNBC wherever she is no we actually lost the first black president earlier this week had a slew of deaths in the entertainment industry

1:36:33 And we lost the official first black president. Did you know that? Okay, yeah President Blowfly You know blow fly I mean wasn't he like a movie guy no no no blow fight Asian movies No blows how these blow fly was arguably one of the first hip hoppers Of our time the first rapper this play a little bit Back in the day you could play this on the radio, not anymore. Ladies and gentlemen introducing the first black president of United States of America President Blowfly Thank you very much And like I promised y'all when i was running I'm gonna make sure there are chillens at every pot Helm hocks in every table

Whoopi Goldberg, The View, Oscar Voting Complicity

Whoopi Goldberg defended the Oscars on "The View," arguing that the conversation about diversity should happen year-round rather than just during award season. As a member of the Academy, Goldberg is described by the hosts as "complicit" in the system she is criticizing, while she also defends host Chris Rock against boycott calls.

whoopi goldberg· the view· abc· oscars· chris rock

1:37:24 I'll put it in the show notes. So he passed away blowfly played that song a lot back in the day on Amsterdam Amsterdam Pirate Station Okay, final clip now this is multifaceted This is from my beat and we're on the beat The View you can always go to The View to find out what is being propagated to the people of America I had to interrupt because i have to say, I poached. Not with any real vigor but I do have another ISO from Whoopi which is the second one there that's on the list Yes yes I have it here we ready? Yeah Can this bitch run the country! I love the ISOs John that's another good one pop that in at the end of show yeah very good

1:38:20 Just drop it in. Now here's where it gets interesting, but it's multifaceted because Whoopi is a black actress she is a gun owner she was at one point also an NRA member she admitted this on the show in 2012 I don't know if she still an NRA member um but she loves the controversy however the problem is she works for ABC And when you work for ABC, the same network that is abusing the American people with race tension to promote their crappy ass Oscars. What are you gonna do if your whoopie? What would she do? She has to calm it down a little bit

1:39:09 She has to run some interference. Because the whole idea of this being promotion is great, but it's getting a little out of hand... Remember we got Chris Rock and now Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee there say hey Chris Rock should not host the show! Yeah, that's gonna happen. So the executives clearly called Whoopi and said all right girl you can make it happen Let's get right to this there is a call for an Oscar boycott They're getting louder and louder over the lack of diversity among nominees But here's my question why is this a conversation that we only have once a year? That's every every year We get off fired up because you're promoting the show That's why I have the conversation every year And then

1:39:55 The rest of the year nobody says anything. These movies have been coming out, we've been going to see them I'm sure people notice when there's lack of diversity in a movie so why are we speaking about it now? It's like Christmas you only talk about it once a year because they're- Joy Behar! You're an idiot! Yeah just like Christmas We talk about Christmas just like the Oscars is the same thing Is in your face that's the same thing So here it is again But its in your face all the time when you go to the movies You know Chris Rock is the host of the Academy Awards. And so to boycott him seems just as bad for the channel, is what everybody's saying. See? Because to me... You don't have to clap! It's okay! She didn't say right she says see Oh and she said C we say right No well we could do that but I'm just saying instead of oh she says C yeah but C is her version of that okay C look

1:40:49 Look you can so you usually comes at the beginning Yeah, you can use look at the beginning and then you can see at the end Which is it like a double I think that would be a nice balance. Look I've been trying to make this show great See, I think it I think that's uh, that's a good way to put it So to boycott him Seems just as bad as what everybody saying Oh say cuz to me Whoa she kind of uses an intermediary She uses it between two sentences. See, and then she continues. It's... yeah. Yeah. Bad! By the way, the way she is using it reminds me of- It's so subtle because see? It's almost like the way Comey uses right. Right. In a little very- Yeah but here- under the left. Very short on that. Seems just as bad as what everybody saying. Oh. See cause to me I'm- No you don't have to clap, you don't have to clap.

1:41:45 Because we have this conversation every year and it pisses me off, and it pisses me off because there are people You know There's not a lot of support for little companies who make movies that may be more diverse than everything else But you can't bitch about it just on Ask a time. You have to look and say, and I am mad so don't be surprised and keep your emails in and text people all that to you because i don't care. She's saying that because she knows that she's saying something unpopular but she has to it's the company line. She has to hold your applause, don't send me emails with your anger... We still have the show we can't like ruin the show.

1:42:26 I keep all that to myself because i don't care. Everybody who is, who it is possible to nominate anybody who was in a movie you can nominate them okay? You as an actor I can nominate anybody who was in the movie so I will point out Whoopi Goldberg is a member of the Academy she is in the actor department she votes yeah but she has won an award or two doesn't matter She's a member of the Academy and she votes so she is just as complicit I think the same with the best movies. I can nominate any movie I want that's on the list and every movie is on the list including ride-along and right along to that's very true, but they're all there Nominating are too white yeah like whoopie you will be here to what you're doing on the nominee joy Behar such a moron She doesn't even see it

CHAPTER 29 / 46 Discussion

Hollywood Economics, Chinese Movie Market, Diversity

The hosts discuss the economic realities of Hollywood, suggesting that the lack of diverse casting is driven by international market preferences, particularly in China and Europe. They argue that if "black movies" were consistently profitable on a global scale, the industry would produce more of them regardless of racial bias.

hollywood· china· economics· racism· bollywood

1:43:16 And then 94% of them are white. 94%, how do you know that? No... If the president, Sheryl Boone, just came out with yes! Yes! I make movies for a living let me tell you what the problem is it's not that people nominating are too white they're not looking at a movie and saying oh that's very white i'm not going to nominate that black movie they're not sitting there like that. I like that finally so see you can't say that as a white person You can't say, the people are not sitting there saying I hate that movie because it's black people in it. I'm not going to nominate it. Thank you, Rory. Racist! Yeah finally she said it thank you thank you That is- I- that's true. Terminating on two white they're not looking at a movie and saying oh that's very white I'm not gonna nominate that black movie They're not sitting there like that what's the problem?

1:43:59 The problem is, the people who can be helping to make movies that have blacks and latinos and women. That money doesn't come to you because the idea is that there's no place for black movies if they're more than two people, two black people in a movie I think that was an underhanded anti-semitic comment Because she says the people who make movies are not interested And then she goes straight into money Think maybe you might be reading into it, but it's a good thought good. Good observation Is that there's no place for black movies if they're more than two people to black people in a movie I'm telling you something to you there has never been In the history of movies it has not been a plethora of Black movies made because people believe we don't want to see movies about with black People in them so until you start making movies like The Avengers where you see more than 70 white folks saving earth and I am mad about this. You know why because obviously

1:45:02 I would like to be one of those people saying that, but they're not coming to me. So what she's saying is ho-ho it's not the actors who are actually responsible for the voting. She's saying it's the money and the people who make the movies who believe black people fall on bank account. They don't yeah they don't make money and you know what? What I know about Hollywood They've tested it. And if it made money, they'd be making them. I agree! If it was making tons of money... Why don't we make Bollywood films?

1:45:40 Doesn't work here. In fact, that's the one of the issues and it is an international thing too I mean we do have our local market But the big movies to big blockbusters that would get a lot of attention for black actors Those movies they have the racism is not here It's in China. Yeah, it's in Europe. Yes in everywhere And it's like not even racism. It's just a preference for I think there's racism involved Okay, I'm gonna call race Wow the Chinese Well yeah Okay, Chinese. Yeah, it's a big market you gotta feel I mean they probably don't like whites either So they're starting to invest in fact what movie was it? I think it was the new bond movie or something It has huge China at the beginning and one of their production yeah That billionaire who bought all the the movie chains he has a huge studio everyone went off to To China to go celebrate the opening of the studio. Yes money of course

1:46:36 So it's the Chinese then. Why don't we just blame that? That would now, there is a unifying theme. It's the Chinese! They're the ones who are screwing up their stock market. They're screwing up you know what I think you're right John We have a platform. We have a multi-racial platform. It's the Chinese. And I don't see any evidence that the Chinese are demanding multi black actor movies Yeah, go bitch about the Chinese people. Except Shaft! Shaft... Whatever happened to Cleopatra Jones? I think you've made your point. I've made my point. These people are crazy and this is a publicity stunt that's gone awry. Let's talk about the endorsement of Donald Trump by Sarah Palin

CHAPTER 30 / 46 Discussion

Sarah Palin, Donald Trump Endorsement, Misogyny

Sarah Palin's endorsement of Donald Trump has sparked a wave of media criticism and social media vitriol. The hosts highlight the "jingoistic" reporting from Democracy Now! and the intense misogyny directed at Palin from female commenters on Facebook, despite her significant political influence in states like Iowa.

sarah palin· donald trump· democracy now· misogyny· facebook

1:47:30 Yes, let's do that. Now I have a couple of clips I want to play at...that..I don't know if i have an introductory clip but this has been quite interesting This is the...alright can we start with the clip? Please! Because this is the DN report on Palin and I call it The Best This is the most jingoistic probably racist in some odd way Explain JINGOISM Look it up. Read the definition when I'm giving my spiel about this clip. This is a democracy now, which I use as a source of news has a...they're bigoted

1:48:11 And they have all the, you know... They normally give some pretty good news. They try to remain objective but in this case they hate Donald Trump so much and they hate Sarah Palin so much that instead of just doing kind of doing this story they start with like I believe a screechy thing she says which is everything she says and then it's just the funniest clip but Sarah Palin would you have the jingoism definition? Yes i do! Jingoism Extreme patriotism, especially in the form of aggressive or war-like foreign policy. Well you... okay. Extreme patriotism

1:48:53 It didn't fit in with what I was saying, to say the least. It's kind of like...I'm going more for the feelings and beliefs of people who think their country is always right and who are in favor of aggressive acts against each other. Well they feel the same way about their politics. The way that democracy now people work, they're jingoistic about their politics. So let's play this clip. And this is a classic story. Off-handed slam trying to sound objective. Ready to make America great again! Are you ready to stomp for Trump? Today's New York Daily News cover shows a photo of Palin and Trump pointing at each other with the headline, I'm with stupid less than 24 hours before she endorsed Trump Palin 26 year old son track was arrested for allegedly hitting and kicking his girlfriend in pointing an AR 15 assault rifle

1:49:46 Yeah, that story the second part that wow kid did has got nothing to do with the story a and then they run this This dime was stupid thing and they have a picture of it's hilarious by the way I mean, this is the worst news reporting in the world. This is how much hatred that democracy now people have in this situation with Trump and Peele. Oh well perhaps I should just read a little bit from my Facebag feed just to give you an idea...I was shocked! I expected it but I was shocked at the misogyny coming from mainly women about Sarah Palin. And in the past, I've been the first to... Now, I'm very disappointed by what she's done with her political career and statements but I read her book and people looked at me like I was crazy as well would you like to burn it? You know maybe just here burn her book because it's so horrible that she wrote a book or she didn't write it whatever people calling her the worst things things you do not want now this is a post by a woman

1:50:49 And I'll read that in some of the... The, uh, comments which are also from women. Sarah Palin's voice make my ears hurt when she talks Could it be because she is full of asshole air? Uh go back to Alaska please! I know right?! She such an idiot!! I can't stand her!!! No but i would shag the shit out of her LMFAO You might have to put duct tape on that trap if you're shagging her The BeaverTrap? Oh laughing my ass off Nope Her PoopChute mouth And then I posted, hey misogyny anyone? I'm not a Palin fan but what makes these personal attacks permissible. Uh sorry she annoys me. Oh that makes sense this kind of stuff you actually post it into the stream of crap like that Of course! It's people I like You have guts my friend. Guts. It's people I- I don't even know I'm not even a Facebook member because the place is its its

1:51:44 Assess pool assess pool. It's a cesspool the cesspool yeah, the cesspool No, I these are these are people who I like and some who I love Adam's Here couple of things here Sarah Palin blames Obama for her son's arrest on domestic abuse charges what she didn't say that's not true because really because the bitch is fucking crazy The amount of hatred as a level at her is remarkable I would say You could kind of make fun of her because of her voice. It's gotten worse, in fact I have a... and I have trouble listening to her by the way but i don't go off at the deep end. I do want to analyze what happened though let's play this... Well I've some things too but okay what you got? Palin classic fighting meme

CHAPTER 31 / 46 Discussion

Iowa Primaries, Sarah Palin Surrogate Role

In Iowa, Sarah Palin is serving as a high-profile surrogate for Donald Trump, appealing to a specific demographic that Ted Cruz also sought to win over. The hosts compare the media's fixation on Palin's voice to the "Howard Dean scream," suggesting that the establishment consistently underestimates her appeal to flyover state voters.

iowa· sarah palin· donald trump· ted cruz· howard dean

1:52:35 Yeah. Here we got a red head from the big red apple running for president and yet the GOP machine all of a sudden they're saying, We're not read enough! We are not conservative enough! And I say what in the world do they know about conservatism? Maybe you should just stop with the clips for second i'd like to analyze this bit with ya Do you have something to say about this? I know. I do have one more clip, but I want to play okay And this is my favorite clip. This is my personal clip of the day, so they're talking about apparently there was a screw up and Palin didn't show up at one of the events and so they talked to two people... This ABC again, ABC's kind of pushing Trump a little bit and they tried to analyze this overall I think you're gonna probably do a better job in about a minute but I got the biggest kick out of this particular clip where they talk to two disappointed Trump supporters

1:53:34 And I realized, and I want everyone out there who's a facebag user to say oh I can't stand her voice it's so squeaky and it's terrible and makes me...makes me itch. We're in Iowa! And I want you to play this clip of the man and then the woman and I can tell you if you listen to this clip you could see why so many Iowans like Sarah Palin. Uhh..I'm gonna need help what is called Oh sorry uh this is the...ugh This is the P-A-L-I-B-N. Clone spelled C-L-O-P-N-E. Surprise! I'm sorry, that's okay Not everything going as planned The Trump campaign announcing Palin would be at a morning rally in Iowa The tickets even promising a special guest but no sign of Sarah We were hoping Sarah Palin would be here And what happened? No show? No show I was looking forward to seeing her Wondering where she went

1:54:33 Yeah, people love her in Iowa. Well that woman sounds just like her! In fact if you play the ISO... You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. I'm wondering where she went? Where she went?! It's a paling up talk. I'm wondering where she went? Where she went!? Uh yeah it's Iowa now here's what i saw happening uh genius move genius we are right in front of the the primaries, what do you want? You want what Donald Trump knows works. It's airtime! You get airtime, you win. You buy airtime in America, you win. You want airtime, you want controversy, you want all that stuff and you always always always win in America. That's how it works with the media. Sarah Palin got so screwed by

1:55:26 media, but also these people filled with hate. Hey you know it's just a lady who gives a crap she don't watch her doesn't matter it is just a lady there are plenty of people I mean what you can hate on so many people so many things that for some reason people lose their crap entirely over her and ever since She of course screwed up, she was not prepped properly and she couldn't mention what newspaper she read. I mean this is how America works we had the Howard Dean scream! The guy lost the entire race because of some stupid ass scream which in retrospect when you hear it isn't even that stupid anymore It was kind of stupid back then now it's just like whatever moron move on

1:56:13 So Trump is brilliant and is Iowa. Yes, of course! Now this Sarah Palin is doing what...is acting as we call a surrogate in political parlance and the job of a surrogate is to make personal appearances on behalf of the candidate Which is great. You know people will come to see Sarah Palin whether they like her or hate her, they'll come Well that's what you noticed with that clip I had with the clone girl, the clone wife They were disappointed she wasn't there She was to the point where they're complaining about it Exactly Now Trump has another surrogate and i'm sure he has several Omarosa? Omarosa is...I think she was on

CHAPTER 32 / 46 Discussion

Omarosa Manigault, Chris Matthews Interview, Trump Surrogates

Omarosa Manigault, a Trump surrogate and Howard University faculty member, clashed with MSNBC's Chris Matthews over hypothetical questions about Sarah Palin's qualifications for the vice presidency. The hosts criticize Matthews for hounding Manigault with irrelevant questions rather than focusing on her role in the campaign.

omarosa· chris matthews· msnbc· surrogates· howard university

1:57:00 Let me see. She was on The Apprentice? Yeah, but if you look into her background she's not just some ditzy and she's black. She's extremely beautiful. She currently teaches in the executive education program at the Executive MBA Program at Howard University School of Business is that anything I would think so yeah So she's not a dummy And for whatever reason, and this is what is it? This is Matthew's Chris Matthews, idiot Matthews. And he's going to force some crazy notion on...and this is what everybody's thinking which of course we'll talk about in a minute

1:57:43 I'm gonna force this crazy notion on her. Well, would you wanna see Sarah Palin in the White House? Would you want it to be vice president? It's like can we come up with nothing better? Her response the first time I heard it, I thought she was dumb but then I realized she was really taken aback by the idiocy of Chris Matthews. I understand the whole appeal or the way she takes on the establishment but peel it all off is she the person you'd wanna see in the White House as President? In the White House doing what? being president or vice-president? You're saying... Would you want to see her in the White House as President, Amorosa? Sarah Palin? Clearly I want to see Donald Trump as President of the United States. Under any circumstances would you want to see Sarah Palin as president? Any circumstances! As president?!

1:58:30 Yeah. I want to see Donald Trump as president. No, you're dodging the ball here. Oh well let me ask you for an opinion because you're out here selling Trump and he's got her as his surrogate! I'm asking you... He didn't announce her as his wife presidential candidate running mate. Is she qualified? He announced her as a surrogate And none of the surrogates have to go through a vet like they are running for president They just have to accomplish what you want them to accomplish Okay. And in this case she is going to help him win Iowa That's why she is endorsing him So it isn't really What an A-hole! I was hounding the woman about something. Well, if you had anticipated that dumb question you probably could have handled it a little better because she was... You're right she was what? How are we talking about? Yeah how would you answer that if uh how would we try would we have souffleured her

1:59:16 I said, well first of all she's not running for president. She's not running for vice president there is no indication that she is doing either and you're asking me just a hypothetical or you might as well ask if you should be president or vice president? There ya go! That would be the answer Over on MSNBC But you can't...I know what it's like to be in these situations Yeah its hard It's hard. She was on, she was by remote you have a delay all kinds but it was just being harder yes but this is the thinking that's all people can think of hey you know what maybe he will ask her to run oh man doesn't it gets I mean yes I'm still fully endorsing Donald J Trump for president with these moves as genius

CHAPTER 33 / 46 Discussion

Ted Cruz, New York Values, Goldman Sachs Loans

Ted Cruz is facing criticism for failing to disclose million-dollar bank loans from Goldman Sachs used to fund his Senate race. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is using Cruz's "New York values" rhetoric against him, highlighting Trump's own lifelong connection to the city while campaigning in Iowa.

ted cruz· donald trump· goldman sachs· new york values· rush limbaugh

1:59:57 Now, it's interesting to watch the way the right-wing radio people took this because they and my including my wife she says I think that was he was punked Yes, and then there was an indication. I have a clip that kind of discusses this but then there was...I went to the post office to get you know the mail and it was I'd listened to Michael Savage And he was thinking that it was the worst thing that could happen to Trump and He went on about it apparently got hate mail and all the rest because of it And I was trying to decide why they were thinking this way. And then, and I was kind of thinking that way too until I started hearing the ABC analysis and everybody else's. Then when I heard this woman, the clone woman who sounds just like Sarah realized that Sarah Palin is very important to a certain demographic that really dominates Iowa politics. And apparently Cruz

2:00:56 really wanted her endorsement. Yeah, he was very disappointed and there was a lot of... This this was the other part of the move. This was the big one everyone thought Sarah Palin would come out and would endorse Cruz I think that the real smart move by Trump is He's having trouble with the religious base Bring in Sarah Palin she is God on two legs Exactly. So let's play the Trues versus Cruz, Trump versus Cruz ABC this is ABC. While failing to disclose, he took out a million dollars in big bank loans to fund his Senate race. Oh, he's a total hypocrite. He wants to look like Robin Hood that he is the one protecting the people from the banks. You know Cruz never should have crossed Donald Trump. That was dumb! Well, he's actually borrowing money and personally guaranteeing it and not disclosing it which is illegal. Today Cruz tweeting this video in response to being called nasty

2:02:06 Hello 1980 calling me want our memes back Ted Cruz. No president could be that we cannot have a man be President United States who still thinks Janet Jackson's nasty is relevant. Cruz says he's getting under Trump skin. Donald seems to be a little rattled. Cruz his campaign continuing to hammer Trump over his quote New York values releasing this 1999 video, Trump in his own words Hey I lived in New York City and Manhattan all my life, okay? So you know my views are a little bit different than if i lived in Iowa. Perhaps! I'm very pro-choice and again it may be a little bit of a New York background because... That message now hitting home with some Rush Limbaugh today saying Trump won't win over conservatives by bashing Cruz There are a lot of conservatives who think that he's a wolf in sheep's clothing

2:02:57 that he's a traditional lifetime New Yorker and that means something. There are all kinds of conservatives with suspicions of Donald Trump. And Tom Yamos joins us now live from inside Cruz headquarters in Des Moines, and Tom Ted Cruz Donald Trump our neck-and-neck in Iowa how important are the folks right there behind you the ground game here given this is two weeks from tonight now? that. Either way, David take a look every single person is on the phone they hope to make 12000 calls a day here in Iowa and staffers and strategies are convinced this is how you win the Hawkeye State with the ground game that said Trump is here tomorrow three stops including his first stop which isn't John Wayne's hometown he's hoping to make the argument he's the GOP's real hero

2:03:40 Oh, man. Now this wait... This was the day before the Palin announcement. Oh okay! So you saw this setup it was at the point where everybody got to come out of the woodwork and say oh he's not that and then Palin makes the announcement so it was beautifully timed It was well orchestrated and Trump by himself is like Marcus Garvey arriving in his beautiful 757 Walking down the stairs. People love this! This is so arrogant of the media establishment, the media elite to think that everybody thinks like them. It is just not true. Guys in The Heartland, guys in Texas, The Flyover States... You know we look at Sarah Palin and go well I'd tap that. Women go she looks great for her age

CHAPTER 34 / 46 Discussion

Rick Wilson, Trump Voter Insults, Sarah Palin Rhetoric

Republican consultant Rick Wilson sparked controversy on MSNBC by insulting Donald Trump's supporters, characterizing them as "childless single men who masturbate to anime." The hosts discuss the disconnect between the GOP establishment and the actual voter base, while noting Sarah Palin's unique "poetry slam" style of political speech.

rick wilson· msnbc· anime· trump voters· sarah palin

2:04:30 You know, there is just not this incredible hate and yeah there's a huge religious component to it which you can't come out and say you believe in God or read the Bible anymore in America. No! You don't get any protections. Just shut up you idiot bible thumper crazy." And that was what she was on stage saying So it is misunderstanding of the population. Rick Wilson, who was a Republican media consultant or whatever that is... Was on MSNBC with this little ditty. Oh its something but the fact of the matter is most of them are childless single men who masturbate to anime They're not real political players These are not people who matter in the overall course of humanity Trump fans are middle-aged men who masturbate to anime

2:05:18 This is what he said? This is what he was referring to? Yeah. That was the reference? Yeah, Trump voters people like Donald Trump are middle-aged men who masturbate to anime I think it's a fact Oops this one here we go Oh its something but the fact of the matter most of them are childless single men who masturbate to anime They're not real childless single men who masturbate to anime Holy crap and this guy's a Republican? Apparently a Republican media consultant Who's very mad about Trump. I guess his client is not happy, whoever that is. Oh his client must be Jeb Bush! Probably but the best... The best the best the best That was a great clip It's nice little clip isn't it? Yeah I wish they had more context yeah they're just talking about Trump voters I didn't think that you would need more context so in all of this we know the field has now shifted I think this is a big shift A brilliant move by Trump

2:06:20 Because a lot of people, in a way myself included who are just happy to see someone take Sarah Palin at face value and for who she represents. I mean yeah i don't hang out with people like her a lot but i don't mind them ever well that's not true you that's not true at all oh i live in texas son um there's a lot of good old boys and old girls here But it's just, you know... They're not hate-filled. It's just not hate filled like that But anyway, so now we have some problems. By the way she one of the things I do admire one thing about her she comes up with these little ditties besides it's like poetry slam She sitting there rhyming and rapping on the stage She has won a thought I had a clip but apparently I don't only can remember trying to remember earlier thinking what the hell was it? It used incorporates something its like somethings bad because we've been had

2:07:19 And somebody has to get me this phrase because it's such a good phrase. I want Mimi to like use it up in that for her, she's been channeling Sarah Palin excellent well she hates Sarah Palin because again uh... She actually hates Sarah Palin? Well yes I think so Why does she hate what is with the hate? It's the voice! I think that voice is offensive to her Yeah but its different to say you hate somebody just hate Does she say I hate her No, she never says that but she does. I'll have to have a word with her on face bag. Yes on face bag! That's where hate belongs so we have this over here and there's no doubt that people are thinking oh maybe she'll be a vice presidential pick so that is definitely in people's minds now we have the Hillary issue which is just getting worse and worse We see that the new douche Ash Carter has threatened

CHAPTER 35 / 46 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Goldman Sachs Bribes

Bernie Sanders has taken a significant lead over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire polls, attacking her ties to Wall Street. Clinton's tax returns reveal she received over $600,000 in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs in a single year, which the hosts characterize as "out-and-out bribes" that undermine her credibility on income inequality.

hillary clinton· bernie sanders· goldman sachs· speaking fees· joe biden

2:08:19 General McChrystal of two, one to two of his general stars as an additional punishment for sharing classified information. Which I think is a shot across the bow of Hillary I'm saying, hey you know you did that look at what this guy did. It's arguably not quite as bad he was having sex with a woman she was writing a book it was illegal but they're calling him back to strip him of two stars Hillary you better watch out with your emails and then of course all this email stuff which came out when the Iranian drifting boat crisis came into play. I do have a Clinton server news you can play, which is little background on this. Yeah that may lead into this okay? A review of the private home email server used by Hillary Clinton while she was secretary... I'm sorry it was Petraeus not McChrystal wasn't McChrystal or Petraeus? No Petraeus yeah I think you said Petraeus.

2:09:20 Well, Ms. Petraeus. Clinton has previously said none of the emails she sent or received were more classified at the time. The news comes as Clinton's Democratic presidential rival, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has increased his lead over her in New Hampshire just weeks before the primary. Sanders leads Clinton by 27 points in the polls 60% to 33%.

2:10:03 She's fighting the war on multiple fronts. The other front is Wall Street and this is Bernie's counterattack, so Bernie has to attack because Bernie's in front now he's got to really push her down I think it's a little too early but... He's going to attack and he attacks by saying she is a Wall Street shill Yeah she is Now of all people that come up with the solution to this problem It was Mika from Morning Joe Let's listen to the lead in. I think it is a fact, it's a fact! It's a fact! Anyone disagree with me on that? She has received $600,000 dollars in one year as speaking fees from Goldman Sachs If thats not true, I will apologize. It's true. It IS true Clinton's 2013 tax return shows speeches for Morgan Stanley Deutsche Bank Fidelity UBS Bank of America and three for Goldman Sachs

2:11:01 Her usual fee, $225,000. More than four times the median American family's income. Did she help protect Wall Street? Do I think Hillary Clinton or many other senators have shown the courage that is necessary to stand up for Wall Street power? The answer is no. Backup recently from Vice President Joe Biden who seemed to question Clinton's commitment to fighting income inequality. It was relatively new for Hillary to talk about that Hillary's focus has been on other things up to now and that's been Bernie's, no one questions Bernie's authenticity on those issues. Take a piece of Bernie Sanders' argument saying I get what is happening in the country and i'm here to help much like Bernie is which Bernie says wait a minute

CHAPTER 36 / 46 Discussion

Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton Health, Running Mate Speculation

Speculation regarding Elizabeth Warren as a potential running mate for Hillary Clinton is dismissed by the hosts, who argue the Democratic Party would not support an all-female ticket. They also discuss rumors regarding Clinton's health, including claims of migraines and past medical issues, as a factor in the primary race.

elizabeth warren· hillary clinton· health· running mate· democratic party

2:11:45 You've been working for Goldman Sachs, you've been taking money from Goldman Sachs. You're doing all these things with Wall Street How can you credibly say that your the person who's gonna take down the banks the way I can? Just say... The only person that can help her now is Elizabeth Warren and she's going to have to make a running mate. Katie Kay stay with us still ahead There was no other way around it Still ahead on Morning Joe They should give you a warning I think she's right, but it is not going to happen in a million years. Why not? You cannot run two women and that is not a good idea or bad idea Let me tell you The party will not allow it Oh really? The misogynistic party Yeah What have we been talking about all this whole show

2:12:31 But they will not allow it because women can't run things, you can have two women. What do you think the actual reason? You can have two women! It's not a balanced ticket. I would do it if I were Hillary. I think that the love for... It's not gonna happen, they won't let her. She doesn't think for herself so she won't even suggest it and she doesn't want somebody like Elizabeth Warren getting attention. I'm sure she doesn't even like Elizabeth Warren. What I would do in her place because it's tough, it's tough for Hillary. She got a lot of...She is not feeling well, she got migraines from the embolism whatever she had, she's on medication All kinds of issues. Her health is bad? Her health is not great, that's... And here's another thing because they know her health is not bad she could drop dead in office Well hello now you're talking my language So and she could drop dead an office and that would put Elizabeth Warren again the Democrat Party does not want Elizabeth Warren as president necessarily They don't want Bernie and Bernie and Elizabeth are pretty much the same person But the great thing is think about it from Hillary's perspective

2:13:35 If she starts to lose, then what I would do is well of course it's a stupid party.

Shell Gift Cards, Stock Market Correction, Gas Prices

The hosts thank a donor for a $50 Shell gift card and discuss the current stock market correction. They argue that low oil prices provide a "huge opportunity" for the average American, potentially saving households hundreds of dollars a month in transportation and goods costs.

2:24:00 I missed the request from... this is, who was this from? This is from Sir Brian The Blue Knight who was at the meetup in Bedford Texas. I missed the request from JCD to enclose donations and envelope but I did present Adam with a $50 shell gift card true It's been used. If you could add that to the donations for Sunday, I would appreciate it thank you very much Sir Brian the Blue Knight yes and there are a couple of other things i believe we still have to figure out but Eric and I will work on them somehow. We had one guy who put money into for some reason...I don't know how he managed to do it Into the J at the vorac.org my personal account, which is where I yeah You know it's got nothing to do with anything how that happened he got in there So I refunded it right? I sent it back out of that count back to the guy Yeah And then and then he can read donate through one of their normal channels and then

2:24:54 From Sir Kevin Dills, Black Baronet of the Queen City in the morning. I have an important birthday call up for Thursday's show and wish a very happy birthday to my nephew Edison who was born yesterday afternoon that was Tuesday the 19th congratulations to Scott and Kristen on their new human resource yes depleting his 9.2 million dollar value as a citizen of the United States, very good We already congratulated Dame BangBang for DH Slammer and with that I'd like to thank everybody who helped us out today Dude did kind of lose steam there just dropped off real quick We appreciate the support. There's a couple of things going on that are hurting donations, one of them is the time of year January has always been slow. The stock market doesn't help because people start thinking that this is important when it's not. This is a correction and probably... It's not gonna mean the stock market is gonna go skyrocketing but its gonna end here or bounce around the bottom and then kind of move up to some normal numbers

2:25:52 And people should look at the bright side, which is what the stock market doesn't want to look at. Which is the low price of oil gives people a huge opportunity to fill their tanks up and go driving around in transportation for all things flying airlines, the train that goes by everything else is going to be cheaper and goods and services are going to be cheaper because the trucks have to buy gasoline too. This is a really, we're gonna have a little boom here." It's a big deal! It's great. It's a big deal that they have these low gas prices and people should appreciate that as you can have more money in your pocket How much money do you think the average American will have extra at the end of the month?

2:26:30 I'm thinking it will depend on a hundred boxes, but I mean it would be $100 a tank and some people to fill the tank up Four times of month which is four hundred dollars And then now it's gonna be 35 bucks at tank so it's gonna. Be they're gonna have 300 bucks a month minimum That's dynamite if I'm looking at the numbers right and I think so yeah, so you get all those extra money alright Well, we need your help. It is your program you help us We don't take any advertising that's the only way to work You can have any of these car most of our conversations? You can't have if you have corporate interest controlling you we don't have that and we appreciate it Please remember us for Sunday show to vorac org slash

Iran Settlement, 1.7 Billion Dollar Payment, Josh Earnest

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest defended a $1.7 billion payment to Iran, coinciding with the release of American prisoners. While critics like Paul Ryan labeled it a "ransom," the administration maintains it was a settlement of a long-standing financial claim at The Hague Tribunal involving a 1979 weapons trust fund.

iran· josh earnest· paul ryan· the hague· settlement

2:28:08 I ran across something that, uh...I wanted to discuss. I figured something—it wasn't that hard to find but i always love it when you do kind of stumble on something and started out with this question that was posed to spokesholder Josh Earnest in the White House daily briefing. The Department of State announced this payment of 1.7 billion dollars to the government of Iran Just before the plane carrying the freed Americans landed in Geneva. You're really telling me that this is an absolute coincidence? Did this payment just happen to coincide with the precise moment when the American prisoners were flying to freedom? John, I think we've made pretty clear that this is not a coincidence. The fact is these kinds of diplomatic opportunities... Because Paul Ryan has suggested it was a ransom payment and you saw his statement He's wrong about that But what you're saying is that this is connected with the freedom of... What I'm suggesting is that the successful resolution of our concerns about Iran's nuclear program

2:29:07 created a series of diplomatic opportunities for the United States that we've capitalized on. And we used that opening and we used that deeper diplomatic engagement to secure the release of five American citizens who are being unjustly held inside of Iran, And we use that diplomatic opening to resolve a long-standing financial claim that the Iranians had against the United States in A way that ultimately saves US taxpayers billions of dollars potentially up to six or seven billion dollars now this got me interested Because we know that there's 150 billion dollars that were released and all of sudden. There's this late payment 1.7 billion dollars and apparently just minutes or hours are very close to the

2:29:51 Hostages prisoners returning from Iran people who were imprisoned that was part of the deal And it wasn't I didn't get anything from Paul Ryan, but not just Paul Ryan What's the guess cotton what's the guys first name senator Cotton? I don't know. Cotton-eyed Joe. As Secretary Kerry said, first this is not part of the nuclear deal this was a standalone agreement that didn't have to be undertaken unless it's just part of the ransom that we had to pay to get innocent Americans back from Iranian captivity so he's saying oh well this is ransom this was ransom So...I did a little bit of research and came up with some interesting things First of all because of this controversy

2:30:34 Melonhead Carey posted a statement on the state.gov explaining this payment and I will read this to you This is the latest of a series of important settlements reached over the past 35 years at The Hague Tribunal In constructive bilateral discussions we arrived at a fair settlement to this claim which due to litigation risk remains in the best interest of The United States Iran will receive the balance of $400 million in the trust fund as well as roughly 1.3 billion dollar compromise on the interest. Iran's recovery was fixed at a reasonable rate of interest and therefore, Iran is unable to pursue a bigger tribunal award against us preventing US taxpayers from being obligated to a larger amount of money which is what Josh Earnest was referring too."

CHAPTER 41 / 46 Discussion

Hague Tribunal History, Leibovitch v Kerry, Iranian Assets

The $1.7 billion payment to Iran stems from a 1979 escrow account for weapons that were never delivered following the hostage crisis. The settlement was delayed for decades by class-action lawsuits, such as Leibovitch v. Kerry, brought by victims of Iranian-sponsored terrorism seeking to claim frozen Iranian assets.

the hague· 1979· hostages· class action· terrorism

2:31:20 There's all, there has been so much outrage over this money that we're giving back to Iran. First the 150 billion and now this. So I go and look and see what was this about? This is poorly explained if at all in any press. And instead we get this oh it was a ransom payment! The timing may have been interesting but this comes from something very very old. This is from the Hague Tribunal And this is from 1979. And in and by itself, it had to do with a bit of a payoff. You recall we had the...now was it 79 when we had the October surprise? It's 79...well, the October surprise I think...yeah, 79 as well, it was Iran hostage event. Yes! So here's what happened. I don't think that specifically referred to as the October surprise.

2:32:15 Okay, so it was the Iran... The only surprise was the release or something. It had more to do with Reagan than anything else? Yes yes yes but he- So I looked through the documents of The Hague Tribunal We were in weapons negotiations with Iran at the time we were going to sell them some stuff they deposited two and a half billion dollars into an escrow account And then some got messed up and they took our people hostage. So we shut it down, we said you know what screw you! You're not getting this back Then according to the documents an agreement was reached which led to the release of the hostages only The United States typical a-holes We are we said yeah well we're not giving that money back right now and this was 35 years ago

2:33:04 So as part of the settlement, and this is Iran's money. We're going to give it back The reason why this has been held up for all these years is because of a secondary lawsuit that I didn't know about called Leibovitch v Kerry That's the most recent one there are previous ones And this is a class action suit One of the largest in history A group of American victims of Iranian terrorism who hold more than a billion dollars in court judgments against the Islamic Republic for its sponsorship of terrorist attacks. And they moved, in the first instance to get their money back from the hundred billion dollars in frozen assets and this has been going... So here we have a huge class action suit which is being played out on the international... Oh this is funny because I remember this lawsuit

2:34:01 Talk about it. I don't know what happened to it, I just remember when it happened It was like oh you think they can get away with this? Why are they suing Iran? What do they expect to get out of it yeah And really what I'm reading into this Just gonna say it bluntly This is Jew versus Arab You know...this is mainly a class action lawsuit brought by American Jews against the Iranian assets, against their atrocities. And I...there's a lot of documents if you really want to go deep into that—I put some of it in the show notes—but that's what was holding on! That's what the real outrage is. That's why people like Cotton, i'm pretty sure he just panders to this. Oh yeah no it's horrible these guys are you know they're just giving away money and really should go to these other people and the aggregate of the compensatory

2:34:56 judgments was like, it's an outrageous amount $2.5 billion that they want to have back and that's why it was such a problem And the fact that we only gave them 1.7 leads me to believe there is about 800 million dollars which someone is going to get It could be. Makes sense. A lot of these things that people are listening to on the radio and everywhere where this is discussed, it's always about as if we're writing a check taxpayers to the Iranians. This is money that they...this is their money! Yeah and it was their money to buy weapons and then when he got into beef, he said well screw you and then we said well if you give our hostages back, we'll release the money and then we didn't release them because of these lawsuits

Persian Gulf Boat Incident, Navy Passports, Victoria Nuland

Questions remain regarding the capture of U.S. Navy sailors in the Persian Gulf, specifically reports that the sailors were carrying passports, which is atypical for active-duty personnel on such vessels. The hosts also note the arrival of Victoria Nuland in Moldova, which was immediately followed by anti-government riots.

persian gulf· navy· passports· victoria nuland· moldova

2:35:46 That's what's happening. So a lot of people pointed out, we played the clip about the ships that drifted into Iranian waters and there was an anomaly there which multiple people jumped on and we missed it I want to play it and then we'll see if we can catch up this time. Tuesday evening around 5 p.m in the Persian Gulf the capture two American boats are surrounded dude as Iranian Navy cameras record the scene. And then a few minutes later, the surrender images of the 10 US sailors kneeling hands on their heads, the Iranians in control through the night Secretary of State Kerry makes five calls to the Iranians demanding the Americans be released explaining it was a mistake

2:36:32 And those American sailors, nine men and one woman spend a night in captivity. Their passports are examined, a meal is served and then a mild but pointed interrogation." Now did you catch it? No I am reliably informed that active duty personnel do not typically travel with their passport Yet this report claims that they had their passports. That is something that... I think that's true. There's no reason if you're on a Navy vessel to be walking around with a passport. It's not for boating? Unless you're going to go on shore leave or something, maybe but then I think you should feel it's all right. Maybe they were ready for a little Tehran action. Yeah bring my passport along. So that thing remains still very suspicious. Did they actually have their passports with them? Is the reporting true yet? And why would she be in one of those little dinghies where there was stupid little boat that they were on

2:37:48 With a passport. You're gonna get wet on that thing for one thing. Yeah! So thank you everybody who pointed that out. Yeah, thanks. We expect this Of course we expect this Then we get it. Quickie? Oh, we should probably... I didn't have the jingle This woman is so crazy Victoria Newland-Noodleman What is it? Where in The World Is that our clip from her Yeah. I can't find any more. Oh yeah, here he is. Here she is... Yes. Well! We were watching her on our way to Moldova. Haha. We are now in the third day of unrest. Anti-government protesters in Moldova. Moldova is nicely located between Ukraine and Poland And Newland goes through two days later there's riots Okay

Sergey Lavrov, Victoria Nuland, Koch Brothers History

A video from a diplomatic conference shows Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov pointedly snubbing Victoria Nuland. The hosts also deconstruct a "Democracy Now!" report on the Koch brothers, which attempted to link the family's history to Nazi Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union through their father's engineering projects.

sergey lavrov· victoria nuland· koch brothers· adolf hitler· stalin

2:38:52 This woman is unbelievable. When are, does anyone get a clue about this? Yeah you know as a clue Lavrov... It's like we're the only ones that have a clue who does he said? Lavrov there's a great video isn't it oh love the audio is not usable the audio is not usable for the show but you have to watch it in the show notes so Carrie and Noodleman are in a conference room and Lavrov comes in And Kerry walks over, it's a conference room. Shakes his hand and then Noodleman comes up to shake his hand and he puts his hand in hers almost immediately lets go as looking to the left doesn't look her in the eye she walks right past him rolls her eyes about what an a-hole he just was to her which is deserved! He knows that she was responsible for Ukraine. He almost didn't want even touch your hand It's a beautiful moment

2:39:42 Oh, is it in the show notes? I'm going to see a video on the show notes. In the show notes. I'm surprised that Gay-Ann or one of that woman who's the reporter for RT who was also in the State Department briefings Hasn't put two and two together herself, and then because she likes to do these little special reports She does yeah And just show you know noodleman here than a riot noodleman there that are right in noodlemen here You know this whole thing the whole and just try it but nobody does that except us very strange Yeah, that's right. That well I mean I should pretty much

2:40:20 display the jingling and i guess it's a really good for you to do right all your life and here we are uh... this play this is an interesting clip decoding as a book out now in the coke brothers as if it's even important now that we've shown at this Yeah, you can do it without money. Doesn't mean anything to just look at Bernie and Trump the two leading candidates Where's the Koch brothers money? Where's that your citizens United I saw this nut the Jeb Bush has spent 90 million dollars and Trump and Bernie about eight each so 10%

2:41:13 But let's hear a little bit of this, the Koch brothers report. Some of the stuff you want to know about because the Koch brothers are apparently behind everything and I was triggered by the great tease at the beginning of Democracy Now! About the Koch brothers. Among her revelations that Koch's father Fred Koch built an oil refinery. Oh man! Adolf Hitler. Right before the war started he imported or somehow the family wound up with a German nanny who brought up the two oldest boys, Frederick and Charles. Charles is who's known today as one of the two Koch brothers and the nanny herself was a Nazi sympathizer of such fervor that when Hitler invaded France

2:42:00 In 1940, she'd been with the Koch family for five years but she said she needed to leave. She wanted to go back and be with the Führer to celebrate. It was strange! It's a fascinating family. It was a strange upbringing, I'm not saying that they were Nazis but what i am saying is that this family was politically from the start filled with very strange influences. And Fred Koch's involvement in the founding of The John Birch Society and what that is?

2:42:35 happens is the father then also worked for Stalin and built oil refineries there in Stalin's first five-year plan. And he comes back to the US, and he's horrified by what he has seen of Stalin. He becomes just absolutely a sort of vitriolic anti-communist and that leads to him being a founding member of the John Birch Society. And he passes those views on to his sons, and both David Koch and Charles Koch—the two that are known as the Koch brothers were members of the John Birch Society which was kind of defined the anti-communist right wing fringe in America in the 50s 60s

IRS Phone Scams, India Call Centers, Public Service

A widespread phone scam involving individuals posing as IRS agents has defrauded victims of over $26 million. The Treasury Department warns that the real IRS always initiates contact via mail and never threatens immediate arrest over the phone, noting that many of these fraudulent calls originate from call centers in India.

2:46:36 Let's see, what do we got? Well we got the drone. I want to play one thing that is a public service because we always have a public service on the show Okay as long you don't say later to me we went too long okay You know what i'm going to say right See? Went too long. I'm going to say it, okay but we have to get this out of the way This is the IRS scammers apparently some scammers are from India because they have some clips of these guys talking and one guy's so Indian he has an Indian accent He says you're going to be sent to jail And he supposed to be a IRS guy and this is a story everyone should be aware of Because everyone gets called I'd love to get a call from these guys

2:47:22 Next tonight here we're getting answers amid the new warning just as tax season begins. The phone calls demanding you pay back taxes you don't even know Here's ABC's Mary Bruce Listen to this call Before there is an arrest warrant issued I want You or your attorney To give us a call back From someone claiming to be an IRS agent telling you to pay up, Or else There is an extra dog that will hang of you And put you behind the bar Tonight the government launching a new campaign warning you to be on high alert for scammers as tax season begins Melissa Dagan says she was conned out of more than $15,000 I just like what can they do to fix this? There's no way. It can be arrested 5,000 victims losing more than 26 million dollars the number of calls tripling in the last year to nearly one million

2:48:11 million. Even the Treasury Department's top investigator received a call and at the end I had the joy of telling them their day is coming, you called the wrong guy so how do you know the call is fake? It's not the IRS if somebody tells you if you don't pay money immediately that you're gonna be arrested. The real IRS never threatens and if they need to reach you they always send a letter first. And David these scammers are changing their game as people become more aware but what hasn't changed These threatening calls if you receive one report it but first just hang up David great advice Mary. Thank you That's a good one though, that's pretty good scam 26 million dollars as scams go I think it's it's a topper that's a top does a grade-a scam Meanwhile we just work for a living

Of the opinion that we keep people healthy. I think so when dire dire straits now calm I'm just we should call each other Hitler all the time. I love the hitler thing hey Adolf good talking to you I like the way they also add a little touch on the democracy now that the refinery was personally approved by Hitler as though he was part of the project. What is this, a refinery? Very good! You Koch brothers, we turn juice into oil! It's 1933 and Hitler was a small-time operator at that point. Yeah, it's crazy. Oh well...
