About this episode

Donald Trump dominates the political landscape after claiming he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue without losing support, while the National Review and Glenn Beck launch a coordinated 'anti-Trump' offensive. The establishment pushback coincides with Barbara Bush entering the campaign trail for Jeb Bush, as internal GOP polling and the rise of white working-class populism—predicted in a 1996 Samuel Francis memo—threaten the traditional conservative order.

Hillary Clinton faces escalating scrutiny as Intelligence Community Inspector General Charles McCullough identifies 'beyond top secret' emails on her private server, prompting campaign spokesperson Karen Finney to allege a partisan conspiracy. Meanwhile, Leonardo DiCaprio uses the World Economic Forum in Davos to promote the Carbon Trade Exchange and divestment from fossil fuels, despite the irony of elite private jet travel. In California, Governor Jerry Brown faces criticism for ignoring a massive methane leak in Porter Ranch during his State of the State address, while the lifting of Iran sanctions signals a massive shift in Middle East economic policy.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the 'divide and ruin' strategy in the Middle East and the push for a cashless society in Norway led by DNB Bank. The hosts mock the British government's new radicalization website that flags 'mistrust of mainstream media' as a sign of extremism. Technical upgrades in the Austin and Silicon Valley studios provide a backdrop for a deep dive into the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) and the decline of personal car ownership through GM’s new Maven service.

DeVore Act All right starting about an hour late Yeah, well an hours in our and not that it matters to anybody I was listening to the podcast matters to me It matters to me too. Is that why you mentioned football because now I've screwed up your day No actually I figured that this was something bad was gonna have not this long but I just thought just on a whim I decided to record deferred earlier game of

00:57 Very good, okay, so I can just go back to nobody tweet John with any score. I don't care as far as I'm concerned there's no such thing as a That that watch Warriors games after I know the score oh really yeah, and now when I said this before I'm not a spoiler guy I think it's bullcrap right Okay, so apologies of Skywalkers she was killed no way We don't know if he's killed. We do we don't know if he's dead He can still make a comeback on him. I was very very happy I saw that one piece of the the entire no agenda gear set up which I've been cobbling together for over 10 years and

01:41 It's an open source program and I've been supporting these guys for... Oh man, I'll be using this for six or seven years. Six years probably And they came out with a new release which will be compatible with OS X Mavericks So i've been holding back. I missed Yosemite Missed Mavericks My Macbook is starting to get crusty You know how it goes Planned obsolescence so I really wanted the upgrade but couldn't because it would break everything And then, uh... Like in some magical moment all of these new versions of all kinds of stuff showed up. Even a new version of the MIDI controller that I use from- from Behringer and it's probably my fault somewhere I must have done something while just looking at these new versions because I had not upgraded You don't upgrade on a show night this is not what we do No At all! And somehow

02:37 Like the SysX registry... MIDI... firmware. That's why people don't do this, by the way Why people don't do what? A show?! They don't do good quality high-end shows like this Yeah because you have to go through pain Yeah, it's horrible A lot of pain! Oh well then let's just get into the mood for a second In the 1970s Irregular days where people go outside No I feel much better now

CHAPTER 02 / 46 Discussion

Ted Cruz Campaign Gaffes, National Security Exports and Daily Polls

Senator Ted Cruz is criticized for several verbal slips during media appearances, including a reference to "national security exports" instead of experts. During an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Cruz also refers to "living or dialing" by daily polls. The hosts compare his rhetorical style to an evangelical ministerial pattern and liken his gaffes to those of former Vice President Dan Quayle.

ted cruz· george stephanopoulos· gaffes· national security· commander in chief· 2016 election

03:14 I'll play it at the end of show, full one. Play it! No, I'll play at the end to show Okay Yeah, yeah It's a reggae beat It's definitely reggae beat Yes Where are we? I'm little discombobulated You are Get us going There is couple things that happened If Altaiwut gets a go and there has been ABCs been going back and forth on whether they're gonna promote Trump or whether they gonna go with Cruz Do they have this discussion openly They might as well be. Meanwhile, I want to give you something I've noticed about Cruz. He's like a gaffmeister and he does it very subtly and he is like the... Who was that guy who was the vice president of the first Bush? Dan Quayle. Yeah, bloody Quayle. Dan Quayle who now runs one of the largest firms in the universe as CEO, The Dumb Guy.

04:14 So I have three gaff clips that come from Cruise. Okay, and there's two short ones which are incorporated in the third one which is a longer one which you should listen to so you can actually get a feeling for this guys abilities but...so this is gonna be a quiz I'm going to start off little light with the first one which says catch it says cath in this case yes Cath The Gaff from cruise yeah this will be a quiz Wow! This is real? This is some good writing you've done here. Okay, sorry yeah here we go here We got some generals and admirals of national security exports and doing whatever is necessary Wait a minute wait when I gotta get in let me listen to this again hold on ice of generals and admirals and national security export Yeah National Security exports I like that

05:07 I've started you start noticing this if you start listening to this guy carefully because he has this kind of weird religious ministerial kinda like evangelical pattern right and it gets in a rhythm. You don't pay attention Here's another example This is number two yeah commander-in-chief instead of living or dialing by the daily calls, and then by the latest Twitter storm Don't dial it Living or dialing. Let's play that again for people who missed it, this is fun! Ice of generals and admirals in national security exports and doing whatever is necessary That was the wrong one hold on two was what I wanted here we go Commander-in-chief instead of living or dialing by the daily polls And then by the latest Twitter storm

05:52 Now, why would now...so he's saying living or dialing by the daily polls. I guess maybe in his mind he's thinking about robocalls perhaps? Dialing? I don't know. Oh that could be! He may be having a bunch of brain farts causing these. Yeah that's what makes the polls you know dialing people. Here's the segment it came from both these gaffes were in the same... Wait wait from the same segment?! Yes. Here's the long version of this. He qualified to be commander in chief? Well, you know that's going to be a determination that the American people are making. I would suggest that the next commander in chief instead of living or dialing by The Daily Polls and then by the latest Twitter storm

06:28 Should focus on identifying our enemies Listening to the expert advice of generals and admirals and national security exports and doing whatever is necessary To keep this country safe this week so then of course the interviewer says you mean experts not Not X. No at the interview, of course which is Stephanopoulos with his babble bah He and Sue starts the question off it do you think he's qualified Trump? Yeah Commander-in-Chief, it's a loaded question. I have a gaffe for you then since we're doing gaffes which may lead us into the next topic which is this National Review article and cover piece or whatever it is

CHAPTER 03 / 46 Discussion

National Review Anti-Trump Issue, Rich Lowry and Glenn Beck

The National Review releases a special issue featuring various conservative figures, including Glenn Beck, attacking Donald Trump's candidacy. Editor-in-chief Rich Lowry is noted for a verbal slip where he refers to the candidate as "Donald Drunk." Analyst John Heilemann suggests on MSNBC that the establishment attack serves as an in-kind contribution to Trump by reinforcing his anti-establishment message.

donald trump· national review· rich lowry· glenn beck· john heilemann· msnbc

07:09 Which was pretty much a hit piece on Trump. Here's the guy, now Rich Lowry is he the editor-in-chief or is the writer of the article? I think he's the editor in chief. Listen to his gaffe! It's gonna probably turn into a really fiercely fought two man race for a very long time if Donald Drunk wins Iowa... Donald Trump. And of course, they immediately corrected him on his graph. It's going to probably turn into a really fiercely fought two man race for a very long time if Donald Trump wins Iowa you know this may be all over in three weeks and I can look at it as swift deportation under the Trump presidency. You've got your anchor baby.

07:54 Yeah, so they didn't say anything of course Donald Trump That's dyslexia right there. That's severe Dyslexia well So I got the couple of a couple of the there was the Thursday clips and the Friday clips from ABC who is now wait Is this are you doing three by threes or what? Are you doing three by three but only watching ABC right now because Experiment So there's two of these. There's one on Thursday and one Friday, slightly different slant on each one that I got though the Thursday one is the big clip and that's the one that's got all kinds of stuff to discuss The Friday one was a hit piece now we can play in either order. Well, I'll tell you what why don't I do my

08:49 A little shorty here on the Trump hit piece and then we can go into that. How's that sound? Yeah, okay this is MSNBC John Hellman he's from Bloomberg and for some reason he's the authority so MSNBC Heilman Heilmann I'm sorry Heilmann yeah, he said he's a quite a character in what way actually know him so Well like do expand. I don't know that mean, I don't have anything to say he is what he is He is a guy who has managed? He's done this he's I think he's of all the writers. I know in the same kind of Peer group he has done the most with his With this career with his career yeah, so he's where does that leave you oh

09:34 I'm a loser. You're a podcaster. A podcaster? This guy's at Bloomberg, man! He's on MSNBC. No, I don't think he's making big bucks there at Bloomberg. He makes a lot of money...he does a lot of books and makes a lot of money with his books that he promotes now. Okay. Alright good. Here he is. First of all, I'd say about the National Review, there's nothing the National Review could do more to help Donald Trump than put out an issue like this It's like an in-kind campaign contribution for the establishment to attack Trump. It helps him with his people, it's where Trump wants to be, it reinforces his message." You know you gotta wonder...

10:10 You gotta wonder. Well, if you looked at that piece and I think it was just online but the National Review they said all these conservative writers and spokesholes and whatever then they had a list of them and number one on there was Glenn Beck. I don't know if that was done in alphabetical order now to think about it could be but Glenn Beck isn't thought he's a talk show guy He's not like an intellectual conservative, you know, guy writing books about the topic. He is not like Limbaugh's brother, the other Limbaugh... I didn't know he had a brother? Yeah, he is a writer and he is very highly regarded as a thinker.

CHAPTER 04 / 46 Discussion

Media Attacks on Donald Trump, Barbara Bush and Jeb Bush

ABC News reports on conservative intellectuals labeling Donald Trump a "charlatan" and a "tapeworm" invading the Republican Party. Former First Lady Barbara Bush enters the campaign trail to support her son Jeb Bush, criticizing Trump's ego in a new advertisement. Trump responds by mocking Jeb Bush for seeking help from his mother and his husband while highlighting his own lead in Iowa polls.

10:55 But Beck is just a, you know he's a radio guy. Right right. I do have... well let's play the hit piece which ran on Friday and then we'll go back and play the bigger piece.

A charlatan unmoored and crazy a man of tantrums and homicidal fantasies a tapeworm invading the weakened body of the Republican Party They should have said weakened bowels It would've been funnier We can call it a publicity stunt. The National Review is the dying paper, its circulation's way down not very many people read it anymore He says polls don't lie People.com publishing exclusive behind-the-scenes photos of Trump and Sarah Palin looking at the latest numbers

12:57 Former first lady Barbara Bush taking a shot at Trump's ego in a campaign ad for her son when push comes to shove people are going to realize Jim has real solutions than talking about how popular they can you Help me.

Electoral College Conspiracy Theory, Michael Bloomberg Independent Run

A complex political theory suggests a four-way race between Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton, Michael Bloomberg, and Donald Trump could result in no candidate receiving an Electoral College majority. Under this scenario, the House of Representatives would select the President. The hosts express skepticism regarding Bloomberg's appeal, characterizing the former New York City mayor as an unpopular figure.

michael bloomberg· electoral college· house of representatives· hillary clinton· ted cruz· conspiracy theory

14:16 This is from the artist here in Austin, Lori. The artist? Now so this is the... Here's the conspiracy theory of the Democrats- the Obots let's just put it that way Okay listen carefully because this is what she believes is going to happen If Cruz gets the GOP nomination, Trump decides to run independent. Bloomberg also runs independent and Hillary runs as the Democratic candidate Not one of them gets a majority of the electoral college votes In that case then The House of Representatives elects the president from the three presidential candidates who received the most electoral votes

15:00 And if they can't come to an agreement, then they choose the vice president from the two vice presidential candidates with the most electoral votes. Then that vice president serves as acting president until the deadlock is resolved." Are they insane? Holy mackerel. I mean, this is a... Not that it's a conspiracy theory but this is the most complex one ever! Very complex But I think everyone's all jacked up and excited about Bloomberg maybe running A guy who no one cares about Why? Bloomberg is a horrible guy And no one cares about him Yeah, Bloomberg IS a horrible guy He not a nice man No

15:40 Was Bloomberg still president when he when you President yeah, president of New York when he rousted up his new york. Yeah When he rousted up the the occupiers wasn't he? Yeah, of course president of New York Nice guy that's what you want geez is a horrible guy alright Let's play okay so that was like APC is doing the best job of this because, you know, they have mixed feelings about who to support and their boy Jeb hasn't failed so far. I mean he's still a long shot he can return but we don't see any evidence of it. So let's go to the big one that had more stuff in it was kind of little more balanced...I've noticed this by the way during the three-by-three is that Thursday news shows

Sarah Palin Endorsement Pitfalls, Track Palin PTSD Controversy

Sarah Palin's endorsement of Donald Trump faces media scrutiny following the arrest of her son, Track Palin, for domestic violence. Media outlets claim Palin blamed President Barack Obama for her son's Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) resulting from his service in Iraq. The hosts argue that the media is overreaching by linking her general criticisms of military leadership to her son's specific legal issues.

16:28 on all the networks, on Democracy Now in particular. And PBS are always the best, all week. For some reason Thursday and Democracy Now! not all the time but most of the time The Thursday show is their last new show On Friday they usually do like a special She goes on vacation or something They do a whole show discussing Navajo poetry I saw something else really strange It was a strange Hmm, I'll have to look it up. There was something Democracy Now is doing that was just so off-kilter Anyway, sorry let's play the third the big Thursday roundup on ABC This is okay the Big Thursday To keep this country safe This week Cruz blindsided by Trump's blockbuster Sarah Palin endorsement Are you ready to make America great again?

17:24 But soon, Cruz bringing out his own conservative media superstar Glenn Beck to check Trump. This guy I believe is dangerous. I believe he is dangerous. Trump not impressed. This dopey guy Glenn Beck... He looks like hell. No, no, he's like a dope! And I've watched him cry on television all the time. He's doing very badly." The billionaire today tweeting, Wacko Glenn Beck is a sad answer to the Sarah Palin endorsement but Trumps now learning a Palin endorsement can come with pitfalls She's under fire after linking President Obama to her son's recent arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. I'd say that the linking was done more by the media than by payments. Now, I just stopped there because that is exactly where a good place to stop. Yeah. I have not heard anything she said

18:15 And including in this report where they're trying to make the point, she never says anything that does this linking. She just bitches about the fact that he has PTSD, post-traumatic stress syndrome disorder What? Disorder. Disorder, yeah. From what I did read from someone else is that he was never in combat He was a chauffeur for high-ranking military officials That's something you could...I think that would be a better thing to complain about Yeah In terms of her misrepresentation Yes, I agree And if that's true then she's horrible Although maybe

18:52 You can get PTSD from just being around the military. I'm not saying that's not possible." It is a possibility, but whatever...or maybe especially if you've been isolated and raised in Alaska, but... It could happen. That's not what they're saying. They're saying that she blamed Obama when you...if what you say is true which I believe probably must be. Well, which she had a whole paragraph wherein she talked about Obama should have taken care of the war, I think. It wasn't even about veterans and then the PTSD came up later when she was talking about veterans coming back from the war so indirectly... Indirectly is a little bit pushing it too much. They're pushing it way to hard. This report that we were playing now

19:37 discusses this in particular and they present absolutely no evidence. A learning of Palin endorsement can come with pitfalls, she's under fire after linking President Obama to her son's recent arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. Palin revealing 26 year old track Palin who served a year in Iraq now suffers from PTSD and she's pointing the finger at the president. It is a shame that Our military personnel even have to wonder if they have to question if they're respected anymore. It starts from the top, it comes from our own president. Halen later doubling down in an interview with ABC News back home in Alaska My family is no different from other families that are dealing with some of the ramifications of war and just really appreciate people who will support our troops

20:28 better than illegal immigrants for one. But her comments are not sitting well with some veterans, the head of one leading Iraq and Afghanistan vets group tells us PTSD is a serious subject which should not be politicized or used as a political talking point it's certainly not President Obama's fault that Sarah Palin son has PTSD Where is it? Yeah, there was like no this unbelievable is all made out of thin air and she's doubling down and they have her saying well you know the weather's pretty crappy today. I mean It's like she didn't double down because she didn't do anything to begin with and then they bring a veterans guy in he's got nothing To say about anything This was THE topic on Serious Progress 127 The Michelangelo Signorelli Show

Samuel Francis 1996 Memo, White Working Class Populism

A 1996 memo by advisor Samuel Francis to Pat Buchanan is analyzed for its accurate prediction of the rise of Trump-style populism. The essay describes a "middle American" demographic suffering from economic decline and social alienation that the conservative elite ignored. The hosts discuss how Trump's platform addresses these long-standing grievances regarding trade, immigration, and the "free lunch economy" of Washington D.C.

samuel francis· pat buchanan· donald trump· populism· conservative movement· middle class

21:17 Then, you know people call and say yeah she didn't actually say that just shut up. You know what she means okay fine fine Shut up, you know what? She means we both so we're supposed to just like you know Just shut up and believe it Shut up shut up and believe it now We both read this article in the week Which was, what was the title of it? It was how an obscure advisor to Pat Buchanan predicted the wild Trump campaign back in 1996. Which I think you also thought to be a great analysis or deconstruction of what is happening and why this Trump thing is catching fire Do you remember reading this? The headline was a little bit misleading because we're gonna put this into show notes Yeah And people should read this as very very good essay

22:10 But the headline is a little misleading because the guy wasn't in 1996 predicting Trump. No, but he was predicting what the American people would want and would be ready for. Right? And one of his theses and then one that's the most interesting to me is that all these conservatives, talk radio guys, the Rush Limbaugh's always... The Glenn Beck's everybody who's pushing the conservative ideal are, nobody likes them. This is bull crap this whole thing and I have to the more i think about because i listen to these guys is Rush Limbaugh's a good example it's probably the most popular of the group and probably the most influential he has had zero influence on any of these elections how did Barack Obama ever get elected? With two billion dollars

23:05 That's how he got elected. It had nothing to do with conservatives and then their thesis, the basic thesis of all of them... Which is one of the reasons they hate Trump, is that the only good Republican is a dead Republican. A Republican who has a check... I call them checklist Republicans They follow certain edicts and believe this, they believe that, they believe this more. Small government... Well small government's the least of it It's mostly like pro-life There's a lot Pro-spying on the public, believe it or not. Spending... you know saying we're not gonna spend money but then spending it. Pro war... big military bigger military than ever even though we already spend more than everybody in the entire world combined I'll cite from The Peace now this is from this 1996 letter that this guy Francis wrote to Pat Buchanan he says

24:06 And thus we see them dying in middle age, this is about white middle-aged people mainly men. Dying in the middle age of drug overdose alcoholism or obesity at rates that now outpace those of even poorer blacks and Hispanics their rate of suicide is sky high too living in Washington DC however with an endless two decade real estate boom into free lunch economy paid for by special interests most of the people in the conservative movement hardly know that some Americans think America needs to be made great again which was interesting that that was the actual quote from his 96 memo. And then they go in and show how Trump is hitting all of these touch points, and this is what I'm seeing — I'm seeing that maybe the political elite who are all-in on mainstream media, they're seeing for the first time that maybe the majority just thinks differently

25:05 I guess, I would have to say that is exactly what's happening. And it's hard for people to come to terms with that but wait aren't we righteous? Don't don't...we have a done we going the right isn't this what we know is the right thing to do everyone else is insane which is the definition pretty much of being a bigot But that it's a losing battle. It's very hard when you're in the minority and you believe your right, I know it's called marriage. Hey yo! Well here is the...this isn't long rant but this one people should at least listen to if they haven't heard

Conservative Talk Radio Landscape, Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage

The hosts evaluate the influence and allegiances of the "Big Five" talk radio hosts: Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and Sean Hannity. While Beck is staunchly anti-Trump, Savage and Levin are noted for moving toward the Trump camp. The discussion explores the ties between these hosts and the Bush family, as well as internal rivalries within the industry.

rush limbaugh· michael savage· mark levin· sean hannity· glenn beck· talk radio

25:48 This is Beck. It's the Beck rant this is the totality of the back grant He goes off to deep end now he's like a big supporter of now Is this on his own blaze thing or is this on Fox? This is on the radio Oh on a rodeo all right, this is his radio show This is what he went off to deep end and started in his radio show was where people really listen to him His TV thing as one is one aspect but the radio show was is pretty rare shows as big that's the Big Money maker big money man So, he's got this radio show and he is...I don't know what rank he is. Now the funny thing is there's...let's take a look at listen to these talk radio guys. There are four big shots five I'm sorry.

26:28 There's Glenn Beck, there is Michael Savage. There's Rush Limbaugh and there is what's his name? The great one? What happened to Tom Hartman and Michelangelo Signorelli Yeah those guys aren't on the big audiences I know But this is the these are the big five all right And they're the ones if you look at talkers magazine you look at a rank as their own dollars mixing it up now Only back even though he claims in this little the screed that you're gonna listen to or spiel That everybody believes what he's about to say, even though I see no evidence of it. I think Limbaugh is pretty much on the fence Michael Savage is pro Trump because he thinks that they're Well, they've always been friends

27:17 And he comes on the show all the time. Yeah, and he also comes on Michael Mark Levin's show and mark levin never liked Trump at first But we I would listen to one of these I was forget come back from the post office They don't get out that much but so I'm listening to mark live in and he's going on about this is like early This is like months and months ago He's saying you know I have his not I was noticing he's got this weird voice that He was noticing that the right-wingers and everybody's beating up on Trump in an incredibly, what he perceived as an unfair way. Name calling... Right, right. Calling him names and belittling him and all this other stuff it was ... And he started paying more attention than he started getting on Trump side of things. I would say he is pro-Trump and Hannity who works for Fox

28:11 I think he's kind of pro-Trump, but he may be on the... He maybe what Beck is talking about. So who ultimately do these guys? Who are their Uberlords because they're not just standalone the guys who own all the power. I don't believe that for a second. I mean we know Limbaugh has always been linked to the Bushes always very close big friends love you mean it go to the ranch well not as much as Hannity Oh, he's even more a Bush fan. Oh he's at the ranch all the time! I didn't know that. Yeah Hannity is extremely a Bushy. Limbaugh you know I think Limbaugh is a little more neutral than a lot of people like to believe He's really a deconstructionist too and he's had his absolute best and I would recommend people listen to this show during the throws of an election where he can actually take things apart

29:07 How about the seed guy? Is he on this list anywhere? No. Okay, he's a... He's a niche. He's got a niche market. Shall we say Hartman is niche, the seed guys niche they're all niche Beck is borderline niche and doesn't really have the big numbers that these other guys do but let's listen to Beck who I don't know why so freaked out about Trump but He also, Beck I should also mention, we want to deconstruct this a little more. Beck is perceived by especially Michael Savage as a charlatan and a scammer and they have these beefs it's very interesting it's just more to this than meets the eye even though these guys are all entertainers there's too damn many ads on radio but let's listen to Beck go off

Glenn Beck Radio Rant, Donald Trump as a Monster

Glenn Beck delivers a passionate radio monologue warning that Donald Trump would be a "monster" worse than Barack Obama. Beck suggests Trump would use the IRS against political enemies and compares his "Make America Great" slogan to Obama's "Hope and Change." The hosts mock Beck's performative style and the immediate transition from his dire warnings to a commercial read for Goldline.

glenn beck· donald trump· barack obama· irs· goldline· radio production

29:50 So, I mean this idea that Ted Cruz is the one in the wrong here is something that would only be perpetrated by someone who wants Ted Cruz to be in the wrong without any of the facts. Now, I understand why Donald Trump is doing that but why is it news? If Donald Trump wins we are as much trouble as a nation. Who's this speaking? Who was the other guy? Okay, you have to remember on Beck's show there were three guys Yeah, there's Beck his sidekick and the guest? No. Beck is side...and it's two sidekicks Oh okay One of the sidekicks sounds exactly like Beck The other one sounds like a high-pitched version That is an old Top 40 DJ trick Having your cohost sound very much like you so you can go do Coke in the bathroom And he can just put the next record on As we were if not more than Barack Obama

30:39 And I know there are people that are going to just hate my guts for saying that. I'm sorry, this is my job! You pay me for my analysis with your time You come here for my analysis and my honest look at things. I'm not getting rich by saying that, in fact... Yes you are! A very rich man It hurts me to say that. I am the only one practically Practically At least of the... I think in radio In radio where we're... National Radio this is it This is it That comes out and tells you truly what all of us know off-air

31:16 And I'm coming out and telling you the truth because I have a responsibility to you. Oh God, does he at any point say anything except how great he is? Eventually I to tell you exactly what I believe all right, and I'm telling you right now performative This is a gigantic mistake If this country chooses Donald Trump You are going to end up. I truly believe with a monster much Much worse than anything that Barack Obama could have dreamt okay? He is the same narcissistic

31:53 character. He is the same hope and change, make America great nonsense! He is the same I'll run it better he is an administrator that's not what America needs oh? He is a guy who gets vengeance and gets angry and teaches people a lesson That's what we've hated about Barack Obama You don't think that this guy with the tools of the IRS at his disposal will use it against his political enemy list? Let me ask you this. Do you think that Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio, or Jeb Bush has a political enemies list

32:42 Yeah? Yeah. Do you think that Donald Trump has an enemies list? He tweets it every day. Damn right he does! Methinketh Beck is a little afraid of the enemies list I don't know what the deal is with Beck. That's strange. By the way, you could hear that other guy... The guy who sounds exactly like Beck chime in at the end there and it sounds like Beck's talking to himself but then he realized it was an old trick but yeah, he's got two sidekicks and one sounds identical to him and the other one has a high-pitched voice. It's an old... Beck was a Top 40 DJ before he got into this. Yeah, he was. This is an old Top 40 morning... Scott Shannon invented this whole idea.

33:23 that kind of guy as your president, you will get everything you deserve. You will get everything you deserve." Now a word from our sponsors! And unfortunately so will the rest of us...

Donald Trump Fifth Avenue Quote, Campaign Rhetoric and Teleprompters

Donald Trump makes a controversial statement claiming he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose voters, highlighting the loyalty of his base. The hosts analyze his repetitive campaign style, noting he typically uses 30 minutes of material stretched over an hour. They also discuss his frequent attacks on the use of teleprompters by other politicians.

donald trump· fifth avenue· polls· teleprompters· liberty university· campaign strategy

34:18 And it's not even a message, it's a billboard. He is doing an on-air read fool. Meanwhile here's what going on in Trump world. where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters. So that's the quote! That is the quote... And when you read this quote by itself it's creepy but if you hear it in context of what he's saying including the preamble which is no mainstream headline has said

35:00 I'm doing so well, man. It's a figure of speech you know just like you say that you do all kinds of things like it stand naked at Times Square well yeah that would not be very Trump ass thing to say but listen to in context of the 30 seconds where he said this is a little different. The people my people are so smart and you know what else they say about my people? The polls! They say I have the most loyal people did you ever see that where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters. Okay? It's like incredible! No they say Trump will love you too man. Trump's voters are by far... You know the...I'm at 68-69 percent. I'm at 90% total like

35:38 Will you most likely stay? That gets into the 90s. Other guys are like a 10, a guy like Jeb Bush he has nobody but he's like at not I mean they don't have people they have nothing Rubio soft they're all all soft also my people stay by the way Cruz soft There you go. In context, like whatever... But he does this now I went out of my way to listen to an entire Trump speech Yeah! I do that all the time Well i don't listen there..I'm talking about the hour-long ones yeah it's very repetitive He says the same thing that we rarely... That is exactly my conclusion He has this....He has a... I think at this point shills who stand up right in the beginning and protest him and kicks him out that seems to be part of his format now

36:27 Well, he does. Here's my kind of conclusion about it. One, he's got about 30 minutes of material that he stretches. Yes. And I think it's a problem. I think you should cut it down to the 30 because he starts the whole speech over, almost like he starts the speech again and is with the same anecdotes and everything. It is but John we know that this tactic works just keep repeating it over and over and over and over again... He definitely has talking points about thirty of them. It works! And he always starts off his things like get rid of the teleprompters

37:04 Yeah, we don't need these teleprompters. I don't need teleprompters Why does anyone need tell and he makes us point at the teleprompters and it gets rid of because he can talk yeah He doesn't need teleprompters. It does have notes though He keeps a little pile of notes so talking-point notes And he gets rid of them and they actually do one I saw when he did that Liberty University Whatever it is to D had they had two prompters up there for them to introduce him? And then the D had him removed And he does have about 30 minutes of material and... He repeats himself a lot, yes. And he repeats himself from speech to speech with different little sub-anecdotes... these little things that come and go like the thing he did about Beck being a loser and crybaby or whatever. That you won't hear probably. It was interesting that Elizabeth Warren walked onto the floor of the House Senate floor

CHAPTER 11 / 46 Discussion

Elizabeth Warren Senate Floor Posturing, 2016 Convention Prediction

Senator Elizabeth Warren is observed delivering a speech on the Senate floor to an empty chamber, which the hosts interpret as posturing for cameras. One host maintains a long-standing prediction that Warren will eventually emerge as the Democratic nominee at the convention if Hillary Clinton's campaign falters.

elizabeth warren· hillary clinton· democratic national convention· senate· quorum

38:01 I didn't clip it because it was 10 minutes of what we heard her say anyway, but what was interesting is that she said oh no please can we just skip the quorum? Which I think means she just wanted to say something to posture for the camera. It didn't matter who was there I believe. That could be and it you know, it was like oh we're getting ripped off but funny enough a lot of what she said sounded a bit like the Trump agenda but the only reason I bring it up is she's to me It's like she made a move She made a move there was her typical Warren speech You go yeah hell yes get rid of these assholes They're ruining us get rid of those guys But it was planned and planted by her they still got my eye on her

38:45 Why else would she be you still got your eye on her? Yeah, because of you. I don't have my honor I made the prediction and I'm sticking with it That's what I'm saying. I had my eye on her because of your honor yes, I respect I'm actually Everyone so well somebody says we think it's gonna win and I still say Elizabeth Warren Instead it just stops now That's right. It stops them, it stops people in their tracks and then I say what? Why? How that can't happen! And I said wait until the convention yeah it can happen at the convention the convention anything goes we may actually have a real convention most of them are just rubber stamps so after the convention if somebody comes popping out of there named Hillary Clinton or whoever Yeah Then I'll drop the prediction but no

CHAPTER 12 / 46 Discussion

Hillary Clinton Email Investigation, Intelligence Community Inspector General

Hillary Clinton addresses findings by Intelligence Community Inspector General Charles McCullough regarding highly classified "beyond top secret" emails on her private server. In an interview with Wolf Blitzer, Clinton dismisses the issue as an "interagency dispute" and maintains she never sent or received material marked classified. The hosts analyze her use of specific legalistic language to obfuscate the severity of the FBI investigation.

hillary clinton· wolf blitzer· charles mccullough· classified information· state department· fbi

39:35 I'm still on point. As far as i'm concerned, everything's going according to plan. Are you done with Trump? Because I think so. All right move over to Hillary for a moment just to get it all out of the way as we speak So there are these emails that were discovered There is very little 3x3 coverage as far as I can see on this Very sparse But now I still think that this happened right at a moment when the president was about to do State of the Union. That's when we had all these Iranian, we had our sailors in their boats engines conk out they have no GPS they've got their passports with them They float into Iranian waters and pick up their release The news cycle covered over what happened here And this is Brolf

40:27 With Hillary, I think. Yes... yes this is a one-on-one And again, she's very demure. Very quiet I think there was a little gotcha in here that we have to listen to Let me ask you about the intelligence community's inspector general who states that the emails on your private server contained what he describes as classified intelligence One of your campaign spokesmen says the inspector general is not quote acting in good faith Now this is... Here's what's going on The Inspector General Who's uh and apparently does more but this Inspector General McCulloch, I think has been overseeing what is going on with the State Department emails with Hillary Clinton's emails with the FBI and apparently he's been leaking quote-unquote information to Republicans on several Senate committees then

41:21 The Clinton camp has accused this inspector general, which is not a good thing. You don't want to be accusing the inspector general of anything because I think the inspector general has some power. Do you think they are not acting in good faith? The IG of the intelligence community? Well all i can say is this Wolf Which is a performative meaning, whatever you're going to say doesn't have to be the truth. Yeah all I can say is this... All I can say is this. You could probably say it more! It doesn't mean your saying anything. No not at all Well..all I can say is this Wolf ummm....I think its a continuation of an interagency dispute that has been going on Nice! Interagency disputes we do love those don't we? Oh yeah And in this case it may indeed be

42:09 Between intelligence could be CIA and certainly FBI as we'll hear in a moment. It has been going on, and that's not uncommon in our government when it comes to releasing information as I requested that mine be released It doesn't change the fact that I never sent or received any material marked classified. I do believe that these leaks which are coming out and being in some way misrepresenting, mischaracterizing what is going on are troubling but the basic fact that no material marked as classified was sent or received by me has not been changed Are they falsifying information?

42:54 I hope not. I, you know...I really hope not. She didn't say no! I hope not! But hope they're not doing anything illegal? Don't have any information to that effect. No. I want this to be resolved and as the State Department has said repeatedly, I will repeat- I did not send or receive classified material Now that is an important thing because when she repeats something like that she's saying I did not send or receive classified material if you indeed look up the definition of classified material it can be interpreted Many ways one way which is the interpretation they're going on as it was not specifically Marx classified and

43:31 This latest example, the best I can determine may turn on whether or not someone forwarded a New York Times article in the public domain. So there are lot of unanswered questions that would like to see resolved. Very good. I would like to see them resolve she's good and she is very very good at doing that She is good! She's good at THAT That's about it She's good at that. She's good at obfuscation Now we have this was better CNN did not have sex with that woman Right exactly Depends on what you think the meaning of the word classified is. This is the national spokeshole for the Clinton campaign, Karen Finney who I would not hire You look at this and listen to her...I would not hire this woman! I don't know why she's a big spokeshole an even little bit, like Brooke Baldwin

CHAPTER 13 / 46 Discussion

Karen Finney Defends Clinton, CNN Interview with Brooke Baldwin

Clinton campaign spokesperson Karen Finney appears on CNN to challenge the credibility of the Inspector General, alleging a partisan conspiracy to "take down" Hillary Clinton. Finney claims other intelligence officials disagree with the classification findings. The hosts critique Finney's aggressive communication style and her attempts to "bulldoze" anchor Brooke Baldwin during the interview.

karen finney· brooke baldwin· hillary clinton· fbi· inspector general· cnn

44:27 Who I like, but she's able to really go after her. then to go after the FBI. It will be picking a fight with an even more forbiddable opponent, this is about the latest obviously you know that did the dump, The Revelations, right? The above-the super top secret classification and if that thought from the campaign that this was a conspiracy your response to that it's sort of questionable why that IG would then continue to selectively leak information to Republican members of Congress who frankly have already said quite publicly that their goal in

45:16 in all of this is to take down Hillary Clinton. These were beyond top secret emails? Why not, well no I mean... This is the most revealing apparently than before Some say these emails are innocuous and remember that these are emails that as the Secretary herself said The Inspector General says this Well that's one inspector general there are others that disagree and in fact NBC News Wow so you do get to choose your inspector general? I don't know what that was about Yeah she said well this inspector general just one of many More revealing apparently then before these emails are innocuous and remember that these are emails that as the Secretary General said, well that's one inspector general there are others that disagree. In fact NBC News reported yesterday there are others in intelligence community who not only disagree but they themselves and this is not us saying this you know insiders from the intelligence community saying that this gentleman has unfairly targeted Hillary Clinton so I think there are questions out there about it. What would motivation be for this Inspector General to do? They've made it very

46:14 very clear that this they want to take down Hillary Clinton. They have said that I mean they were very honest about it just before she went for 11 hours. But what is your proof for that? If you have asked for a review of information and that process is ongoing why would you do anything to interfere with or distract from that? I understand your question but with all due respect, whats the proof where's the evidence? With all due respect yeah... Again I think the evidence in fact we've continued to see this pattern and again the idea being You know, they're trying to stir the pot and that's fine. They can continue to do that which is exactly what the secretary was saying We're going to keep focused on winning in Iowa Winning in New Hampshire

46:50 There's a couple of things there I want to point out. Sure, sure. One when the woman said this woman that you dislike, the Hillary campaign manager or whatever she is... Yeah yeah. She said well that's just one inspector general another inspector general disagreed and then she bulldozed this Brooke woman your CNN favorite. That's when Brooks says what other inspector general? And what did he or she say? Well we're gonna find out. I'm sure we'll find out soon I'm sure. Go ahead. I saw this as Brooke trying to hold her own and getting bulldozed... Yes, she did. That's what I said. She did a pretty good job. She tried. As it is tried for this Brooke. Now so when I take Clinton saying interagency rift though wasn't exact words but the rivalry whatever it is... Rivalry squabble whatever. Squabble an intelligence of course you know we know the CIA

CHAPTER 15 / 46 Discussion

State Department Document Delays, Snowstorm Excuse

The State Department requests a deadline extension for releasing the final 7,000 pages of Hillary Clinton's emails, citing a major East Coast snowstorm as a hindrance. The hosts mock the excuse, noting that the court-ordered deadline was established long before the weather event occurred.

state department· hillary clinton· emails· snowstorm· court deadline

51:34 How did he get picked in the first place if this is the case? What is Obama thinking?" Well, to me it goes back to his board seat at HSBC. He's a...you know this Vanguard I think it's the Vanguard Fund of the whitewashing of drug money through HSBC God knows what this guy is into! God knows Oh, it's kind of funny that the so there are still 7000 documents the State Department has to hand over and the court had said okay here is your deadline and they sent a filing and said well we need more time also because of the storm.

52:17 Oh, yeah. We couldn't get the documents because of the storm. OK? The storm just happened yesterday. So it's this with this storm. I mean snow apocalypse and I want to add one more little variable into the pot which is the commentary from X, I guess CIA or Defense Department camera now lost track of what this guy did Gates He was a Robert Gates was FBI. FBI gates Yeah, Gates comes out and says that there's evidence to indicate that the North Koreans the Russians the Chinese And the Iranians all had a good look at Hillary's server yeah Which is not exactly what he said I don't think That's the way the headline went oh of course? Yeah, of course

CHAPTER 16 / 46 Discussion

Snowpocalypse 2016 Media Coverage, National Guard in DC

Media coverage of the 2016 East Coast blizzard is criticized for being overly dramatic while residents are seen enjoying the snow. NBC's Luke Russert is highlighted for his reporting from Washington D.C., where National Guard units were seen patrolling the streets in armored vehicles. The hosts question the necessity of a military presence for a weather event.

snowpocalypse· cnn· luke russert· national guard· washington dc· new york city

53:09 Well if they did forensics on it, I'm sure they could you know could see something. They have some log files and stuff. The logs and God the logging stuff's coming in from everywhere It's out of control All right Let's talk about snowpocalypse for a moment before the snow is gone And then it's gone from everybody's mind because this was a little new with this state of emergency certainly in New York Like if you're on this if your are driving in a car You'll be arrested You know, I got arrested. Yeah after a certain time and they didn't die as far as I know they didn't arrest anybody but there wasn't very few cars out there but i'm watching CNN's wall-to-wall coverage of this and it was very funny to contrast what the whatever reporter is this the good woman who was in the car going into the Lincoln Tunnel down the helix? No, I don't see that.

53:55 So they had we have press plates, so we won't be arrested. And then they go down the helix to the Lincoln Tunnel is you know, do you really know how traffic is going to be depending on where your backed up? It was completely empty that go down there's all kinds of cop cars and there's no one's even looking at them Yeah, it's like they are actually not looking at them. They drive through the tunnel no one's there It was like where was all this? No nonsense. It was nonsense yes So they're at this woman standing there with his kids snowing and is there already you have maybe two or three feet of snow And she had all the horror the horror She's going on and on and meanwhile that scene behind her it's always family skis sledding throwing snowball

54:38 Yeah, rolling around in the snow making snowmen. I mean they're having that time It's like New York City is having the time of its life Yes it's always great and they get did they get to go to there or let's go to Times Square They go to Times Square everybody's having the time of their lives The people on CNN are reporting it. It's horrible. It's hard getting pounded pounded I tell you a pounded everybody there's the people with their cross-country skiers they're This report though, there was something that I caught and then they went to split screen because they went to What's the guy

55:17 who used to do speak to the nation talk of the press. Russert, Russert. So Tim Russert's kid? Yeah, Russert's Kid. So they stick Tim Russert's kid out in the snow for like two days then his face is frozen I think he's drunk actually But for some reason... He was grousing about his being stuck there. Yeah, this is where he's grousing about it but interesting to me is they tossed to him with this almost like a throwaway line and they have split screen of this video that was mentioned which he doesn't refer to at all doesn't talk about eventually just have to go to him fullscreen where he's grousing and sounding

55:57 Cold and drunk. Because everybody's having a ball in Manhattan, there are no cars around you can wander around everyone is all bundled up and they're going in and out of bars Except Russert was in DC He wants to be in the bars! Russert was in D.C. Jacob Prescone reporting their force in Philadelphia. Jacob thank you sir we also have new video coming out of Washington D.C where the National Guard is patrolling the streets NBC's Luke Russert So that is kind of new A snowstorm and the National Guard is patrolling the streets? I don't know why that was. And they had an in- car video of the National Guard! It's like a GoPro kind of stuck in the corner, so that split screened and Russell doesn't respond to it at all. New video coming out Washington DC where the National Guard

56:40 is patrolling the streets. NBC's Luke Russert is in Washington with the very latest on this that's the fresh video that we're seeing right there and Luke it seems like it's gotten a little bit worse since the last time we talked for you believe it or not Thomas I've been out here Since Thursday when we the preparation started yesterday when it was coming down This is the worst. It's been and we've been on air And the reason why the wind gusts are really picking up I just checked on them, but I was inside of a shelter averaging about 30 35 miles per hour Right now and now the videos gone did no mention of the National Guard after that very strange No, that's just I think you're just poorly produced Yeah, what else is new?

Climate Change and Winter Storms, Chris Hayes and NOAA

MSNBC host Chris Hayes links the 2016 winter storm surge to rising sea levels caused by climate change. The hosts play a clip from a NOAA official who clarifies that while 2015 was the hottest year on record, there is no direct "climate change storm." The discussion focuses on the media's tendency to attribute individual weather events to long-term climate trends.

climate change· chris hayes· noaa· global warming· el nino· msnbc

57:25 Now, the Storm of course was fabulous. Fabulous for a number of reasons because we get people like Chris Hayes he's the right man you know? Right? Right right right right right maybe should play that again cause that is just gotta be one my favorite five favorite ISOs Is it Hays with ES I think it is isn't it? Yeah I think so Yeah, he's right. Here we go. Let's just listen to him again... There is something too right? If what you say is true and this would be a huge risk and that's clear to you And here's this person who 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

58:17 Right? No, here he is. Scientists announced today that 2015 is the Earth's hottest year on record since they've been keeping track about 160 years ago now some might say it sort of ironic to be reporting this news the same day that much of these coast is bracing for a major winter storm but that very storm which will be hitting these coast this weekend is going to threaten a huge storm surge part of which is due to a higher sea level due to climate change 2015 breaks a record set do you like that This is totally crap. What, climate change has raised the ocean three feet or something? Is that what he's trying to tell us? Sea level due to climate change. Climate change! 2015 breaks a record set just last year making it the warmest year since record keeping began and it's part of a disturbing trend we've seen here's how 2015 compares with the six other warmest years on record and here's the overall trend since 1880

59:13 Scientists predict 2016 will be at least as warm last year or even warmer. Climate change is real! That's right, I think you did a whole report last year on the 2014 bullcrap showing that 1997 was hotter and so was 86? And by their own documents So i got this report guys at NOAA Well actually first it's the National Weather Center but there's a guy there from NOOA, the National Oceanographic... And the Atmospheric Administration. Yeah, exactly. Atmospheric Administration. And I thought we would check in with him If you've been paying attention to the news at all in the last 24 hours You're probably well aware that there is a big East Coast storm But what about how it affects the larger weather patterns that were seeing and what does it mean for the rest of the year? Well for that The study from NOAA just came out warmest year on record Does climate change play into any of this that we're saying now?

1:00:13 Okay, yeah you ready. Here's the official guy does climate change play into any of this is climate change play into any of this that we're so it's our warming is unequivocal We've seen an especially very strong over the last 40 years Well, we were about 98% certain back in September that this would break the record for the warmest warmest year It's very possible. We could break it again next year. We are continuing to warm It is climate change there are certain impacts from climate change that we're seeing right now. This isn't a climate change storm Oh, thank goodness such this thing as a climate change storm just like there is there's no such thing as an El Nino Storm But what we do see it's the trend for these kinds of storms. It is increasing through the years So if I just understood him correctly says there's no correlation between The storm and the warming

Leonardo DiCaprio Davos Speech, Crystal Awards and Climate Activism

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio delivers a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, after receiving a Crystal Award. DiCaprio calls for leaving fossil fuels in the ground and cites a Stanford University study on renewable energy. The hosts mock his delivery and point out the irony of elites flying private jets to a conference about carbon reduction.

1:01:00 Because there's no such thing as a climate change storm. There's no such thing is an El Nino storm, but we do see there's more storms Right yeah sure with El Nino. Oh well and this of course gives us an opportunity to open up That's right so we go to Switzerland where the elites are gathered they've all flown there in their I think there's a 2700 private aircraft Off to Davo and there we have our new spokeshold. This is so much like the Michael Crichton book, but I forget the title of course The state of fear state of fear here We have our big Hollywood celebretti Leonardo DiCaprio

1:01:51 Who is going to shill in front of all the elites. This is at their crystal awards They have an award show and Davos the Crystal Awards. Yes, beautiful. Why not? Yes And well there's no better time than to Spew the rhetoric of climate change upon them last month in Paris world leaders reached a historic agreement that provides Concrete framework this is Leonardo DiCaprio he has a lisp Yeah, well yeah I think he has a hair lip actually that he covers up But I think but at least for sure last month in Paris world leaders reached an historic agreement that provides Concrete framework to reduce carbon emissions This was an important first step So we're a long way off from claiming victory in the fight for our future okay? For the survival of our planet. This is his this is his big speech John this would be very proud of this and

1:02:49 The Paris Agreement was a call to action, but is now up to all of us to build this progress with ingenuity and commitment to change. Together we are fighting to preserve our fragile climate from irreversible damage and devastation of unthinkable proportions." Wow! That's some big words! Our fragile climate John...fragile I've been traveling recently all over the world for a documentary about how this crisis is changing and naturally what? Movie plug yeah, it's his movie plug and i'm sure he was not traveling

1:03:27 Commercial proportions. I've been traveling recently all over the world for a documentary about how this crisis is changing and natural balance of our planet Can't wait we should look this up I'll look up the IMDB was some something in his mouth like a retainer or something That's possible because just really I've never heard this list with this bad. I am what I see him in the movies He doesn't listen yeah, I'll say that the the transcoding of the audio gives it also a little bit of a slicy artifacts. So let me just see, let me just take a look for that effect. Yeah shit sound is the word besides that. Let me just take a look at his IMDB he must see would be in there has a list they know I'm looking for his documentary

1:04:23 Let me see what? delirium no Robin Hood origins live by night well we'll have to figure out what the name of that documentary is and Greenland and in the Arctic I was astonished to see that ancient glaciers are rapidly disappearing Well ahead of scientific models. Oh, then India farmers what? sibilance Simbalans! Those who have seen their crops, they're very livelihood literally washed away by historic flooding. There's no doubt to the world scientific community that this is a direct result of human activity and the effects of climate change will become astronomically worse in the future I love that he just says the scientific community but not the science...the climate scientists but the entire science community which is just factually incorrect

In his Davos address, Leonardo DiCaprio praises tech leaders like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos for pledging to build a zero-emissions future. He notes that individuals and organizations worth $3.8 trillion have committed to divesting from fossil fuels. The hosts frame this as a transition toward a new economic model managed by global elites.

1:05:14 Last week, President Obama told those who continue to deny the irrefutable science behind climate change that they will find themselves increasingly lonely in a swell of voices calling for action. Oh no John! Oh no, we're in a swell of voices. They're saying take action! Take action! The voices make them stop! But studies also show us that those who deny the reality of climate change will also find themselves less economically successful We simply cannot afford to allow the corporate greed of the coal, oil and gas industries to determine the future of humanity. Or of powered flight such as your jet aircraft? Yeah it's not running on electricity You know it sounds like listening to Sylvester The Cat

1:06:09 I guess no plaque for me. Dammit, but he knows our planet cannot be saved unless we leave fossil fuels in the ground where they belong 20 years ago. We described this problem as an addiction today. We possess the means to end this reliance Professor Mark Jacobson and a team of researchers at Stanford University have proven that we can meet the world's total energy demand by using existing renewable technology by 2050

1:07:03 To make that potential a reality, we need the collective will and conviction of political business and philanthropic leaders like all of you. This transition is not only the right thing for our world it makes clear economic sense and it's possible within our lifetime A shift in this magnitude will save nearly 42 trillion in global energy costs while creating 20 million new jobs Over the last several years, organizations and individuals worth $3.8 trillion have already committed to divest their fossil fuel holdings and replace them with new investments in clean renewable energy projects. And leaders like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos have already pledged to help build a zero emissions future

1:07:50 I ask you to join them. Because if we all do our part and act with bold leadership, we can achieve major meaningful progress that is not only an inevitable transition but is also imperative for the future of our planet." I guarantee you this! The Best Actor Award Leonardo DiCaprio for the 2016 Oscars No doubt about it Well... You might be right Of course Now we all love he needs to do his little climate thing.

Public Opinion on Global Warming, Todd Stern at CFR

Todd Stern, the U.S. Special Envoy for Climate Change, is questioned at the Council on Foreign Relations regarding a Gallup poll showing 62% of Americans do not view global warming as a serious threat in their lifetime. Stern struggles to reconcile these figures with the administration's narrative of increasing public concern.

todd stern· council on foreign relations· gallup poll· climate change· public opinion

1:08:38 Stern is the US special envoy for climate change and he was at the Council on Foreign Relations, you know the drinking club. Yet he got a rather inconvenient question! In March of 2015 Gallup took a poll and 55% of Americans that responded were concerned about climate change. And also they asked a specific question on the survey, it says do you think that global warming will pose a serious threat to you or your way of life in your lifetime? In 2015 62% of Americans said no so I wondered how those numbers jive with what you're saying about increasing numbers of people

1:09:23 Believing in climate change and its effects. Okay, this is rather complicated So the number of people who do not believe in climate change has risen to 62% according to this journalist How do we answer that? Thank you. Well, so I don't I'm not armed with With anything numbers that I've looked at recently but look, I think that A lot of, I mean here and everywhere else questions like this depend enormously on what the nature of the question is. I guess he didn't ask a question right? And how it's phrased for people to say they don't think it's a serious threat within their lifetime is completely understandable given what way the issue is commonly

1:10:14 talked about and understood in the press. So I think if we were, you know... What could he say at this point? I don't know why he's even talking. He should just shut up! If you're an election buff actually look at Real Clear Politics every day like i do You'll see that there is a whole bunch of polls polls in New Hampshire, Iowa this place that that place and the line that's at the top of real clear is an average of a bunch of polls. So I think if you saw if we did a sampling of the whole point is no answer on the polls aren't right it has to be an average these guys are losing their mojo yeah

Porter Ranch Methane Leak, Jerry Brown State of the State

A massive, uncontrollable methane leak in Porter Ranch, Los Angeles, is described as the largest environmental disaster since the BP oil spill. Despite the severity of the leak, California Governor Jerry Brown failed to mention it during his State of the State address, focusing instead on global climate agreements. The hosts discuss the health impacts on residents and the technical difficulties in capping the 8,000-foot-deep leak.

porter ranch· methane leak· jerry brown· california· environmental disaster· natural gas

1:11:02 They had everything going on, but they're losing their mojo. It's mostly because you know the your outside freezing to death and some snowstorm talking about global warming it's just people just what the hell is wrong with this picture? Now I do have one! I got a glow...I got a climate gate thing all right So we have this big gas leak that's down in Southern California. Yeah, this is fabulous! I'm finding out more and more about it...I don't know why somebody just doesn't take a match. Well apparently they can't do anything until the end of February. Well i don't know why that would be but the problem seems to be The thing is 8,000 feet down. That's where the real gas leak that's coming out of the hole is not coming out of the hole it's kind of like leeching up I guess through the soil and going about eight thousand feet and then

1:11:52 belching out all over the place and apparently people are starting to get ill now from... No, a lot of people have been getting ill. A lot of people moved out of the neighborhood. Now generally speaking this gas should just go up and it shouldn't really affect anybody on the ground It's not heavier than air And you can see the plume is just kind of going up. It's not helium either so doesn't just disappear but it's interesting Jerry Brand has been there for a while and it's been going on It's only recently somebody did some infrared photography that they found this leak And it's tons and tons So here is the report on this thing that took place or was going on as we speak, and Jerry Brown decides to give his State of California speech

1:12:40 And for some reason talks about global warming and all the rest of it. And despite this leak going on, he fails to mention it. So let's play this gas leak. Yeah. In California officials have doubled the impact zone at the uncontrollable methane gas lake in the Porter Ranch neighborhood of Los Angeles. It's being called the nation's biggest environmental disaster since the BP oil spill. Methane gas is a powerful greenhouse gas that accelerates climate change California Governor Jerry Brown did not mention the leak during his State of the State Thursday but he did speak about the need to address climate change Thankfully, the rest of the world has heard the message. Humankind must change the ways and radically decarbonize the economy. The Paris Climate Agreement was a breakthrough! What a dick that's all he had to say? Whoa

1:13:33 of the supposedly the worst environmental disaster since that Exxon thing or the BP, the BP spill. This is the biggest climate disaster since then and he doesn't mention it and nobody's doing anything about it? Now what are the options here? Can you smoke anywhere near this thing? I have no idea what the you know, I answer the question is not but I have no idea because I don't know what's really going on. It seems to me that with this stuff mixed with oxygen You should be able to just light it Yeah And it would be a then it would be like a it would create they would burn it and that would eliminate But I think that initial ignition Be a doozy

1:14:19 Well, let's see. If it's going down 8000 feet and the whole thing is possible the whole mountain could go! It sounds to me like they're flummoxed and don't know what to do. Well on the other hand how come it hasn't lit off already if its so gassy? Hmm it's mystifies me yeah, and I don't see and I'm to be honest about. I do not see why somebody hasn't taken a And just some punk we're talking about Los Angeles We have a bunch of punks that just goes one of them take a flare gun throw firecracker out there Yeah, right no. I don't think gonna be near so I think a flare guns the way to go you get a flare gun

1:14:59 or exploding bullet something and you get, you know a quarter mile away and you shoot it the thing and You just lob it in there with a flare And light that thing off and see what happens. How come it hasn't lit off by itself? Well five facts to know about the California methane leak Just while you were speaking So, methane of course main component of natural gas. The leak originated underground it's an environmental disaster. Natural gas explosions around the country. It's dangerous yeah we had a lot here you go... The methane leak could also be dangerous for people who live in Port or Ranch. Methane is highly flammable depending on its concentration in the air can also be dangerous to inhale methane fumes because methane can occupy the same place as blood sales that oxygen normally does yeah? Symptoms of methane exposure include headache nausea

1:15:47 vomiting, dizziness weakness loss of coordination in serious cases people may black out or die? Yeah! More than 2,000 residents of Porter Ranch California have been evacuated from their homes after people complained headaches and nosebleeds. And it could take months to fix now why does it take months to fix let's see... To stop the leak the gas company said it plans to drill a relief well yeah that's why they have to drill a relief well Why can't they cap this thing or do something and capture some of this gas and give it to the people? They are giving it to the people. They just didn't ask for it! Here, slaves have say methane gas. You might die sucking in soot. And with that...

Calais Migrant Camp Violence, The Jungle and Unaccompanied Minors

Reports from the "Jungle" migrant camp in Calais, France, describe increasing violence and desperation. A documentarian describes being threatened with knives by a group of unaccompanied minors. The segment explores the tension between the humanitarian crisis and the security concerns of local authorities and journalists.

calais· the jungle· france· migrants· unaccompanied minors· human rights

1:22:09 Hey, wanna talk a little bit about the refugee situation? Yeah we need to. For a number of reasons. Apparently Calais where they have a huge encampment now... And it's got a name, like Death Camp or something. It's got a name and these different documentarians keep going in there and they keep getting beat up by teens. Yeah. And so it has become a place for punks. Now at Calais they have...so there is the I guess what happened was that all bunch of migrants storming the ferry? Yeah! That one of the things. Here is what I saw. I saw very professional signs and flags

1:22:54 for the Communist Party of France. Oh, that would make sense. You know the big what is it? ANP I think it is NAP National Anti-Capitalist Party So the French, a French Communist Party has been outfitting these guys at least with flags. Yeah no clothes no blankets it's not very okay water no cash that's not okay well Well, I got a couple of clips that I want to play. One of them is both these attack clips but the one that would gotten my attention and you're probably trying to figure out why is some Dutch documentarians and journalists were attacked and it was a report on RT.

1:23:46 Which one is... oh, okay. Gotcha. Yeah got it! The jungle? The jungle?! Haha! Nice! I was approached by a group of young men, of minors. I don't know if they were unaccompanied and there are many many of them like that in camp They were clearly... clearly of the community. I was approached at first they began asking me for cigarettes and then they get close and they start trying my pockets and I tried to back away

1:24:26 and then they push me against a wall, they draw knives. They have little craft knives small blades eventually I managed to push away and i run back towards the entrance of the camp, the motorway bridge there. I'm amazed by the number of unaccompanied minors under 18s who are here who have gaps in their education now are freezing cold temperatures, it was minus five at night. Their rights under the convention and the Declaration of the Rights of the Child are being trampled utterly so you can completely understand frustration and anger and desperation they're going through." Yeah... Okay now this was not the clip I wanted, that one is just starts with the word Dutch, I'm talking about the Dutch guy but I do have to comment on this other clip

Dutch Journalists Attacked in Calais, RT Coverage

RT reports on an incident where two Dutch journalists were attacked by knife-wielding migrants while filming in the Calais camp. Photographer Quynh Votan describes the sudden nature of the assault. The hosts discuss the chaotic environment of the camp as French authorities begin partial evacuations of the zone.

1:25:11 This was the liberal guy. So he's getting beat up, he says all these unaccompanied minors and there is a violation of some crazy UN thing and it's going on... To protect the child, of course! This was the liberal guy who is just seeing this all in terms of politics Unaccompanied minors, oh what are we going to do? I mean this was an EU guy you know going on and on about these more controls. It's a fascist, the guy is a fascist but the Dutch guy is the one that I think was more interesting for variety of reasons A few days ago two Dutch journalists were attacked by knife-wielding migrants in Calais while filming a documentary

1:25:54 Holy shit man, he want to stick me with the knife! Hey hey hey help me, I'll die, I'll die. Photographer Quynh Votan described to RT what he saw While we were walking around at the edge of the camp, it was a day when people were moving their places because the zone of the camp will be evacuated. And suddenly out of nowhere three people jumped on me I had not seen these people coming i was not filming them and didn't know where they came from and they suddenly jumped on me and you can see in the video that all went very quickly

1:26:37 And luckily some other people, the two or three other refugees from the camp came to our rescue. It is very good! Are you waiting for me to speak in Dutch too? I just... You just what?! What will you now? What do you want? What want you? Ever since you started doing that voice I know it's crazy. You keep a straight face when i hear from some Dutch guy but, I was not filming when it happened but they tried to stick the knife in me man shit right yeah um all kinds of actions taking place at the jungle now

1:27:18 Unfortunately, the thing that I don't like about this story is that oh unfortunately. I wasn't filming and yeah well They were fit they filmed it for 40 seconds He wasn't filming but somebody was filling because they had they showed this Dutch guy And by the way it was a classic Dutch got them with the crazy hair and big beard And he's a fat guy. So they showed him beating this guy, beat the Dutch guy up and the camera was running and most of them came over to beat up the cameraman but it was all shown. Well, The Jungle is...it's a crappy place! This has been going on for the longest I think of all the camps because these...I think now 5 or 6 thousand in these camps They've just been there, just sitting there It's a mess Yeah, I wouldn't go in there

German Teenager Facebook Deletion, Angela Merkel and Mark Zuckerberg

A 16-year-old German girl's Facebook account is reportedly suspended after she posted a video expressing fear over the migrant crisis. The hosts link this to a recorded conversation between Angela Merkel and Mark Zuckerberg regarding the deletion of "hate speech" on social media. The discussion touches on the possibility of "agents provocateurs" influencing the behavior of migrants and the public reaction.

angela merkel· mark zuckerberg· facebook· censorship· germany· hate speech

1:28:07 Do you have anything else? Because I do have a few things we need to talk about in this regard. I'm done! Okay, so here is what's happening... First we have there was this 16 year old German girl and she did a rather long YouTube video although it was not originally posted on YouTube but it was originally posted on Facebook where it was deleted now as we know Angela Merkel asked Mark Zuckerberg personally and we have the audio evidence of this when they were all in, I think it was when they were in Paris. And she's like hey you know are you gonna work on this? Are you gonna get rid of those... You know anyone who is saying hateful things about the immigrants you gotta delete it and he said yeah yeah I'm working on that and then this really went into effect about a week-and-a-half or two weeks ago so her video and her entire account was deleted So this was reposted Her account?! Her Facebook account yeah where it put on suspension So they took her whole account down Yeah

1:29:06 I don't know really what happened because there's no forensics for me to track, but that's the story. Now this girl was in... and actually I went back and forth with our friend Ancilla about this because she's highly skeptical of what's going on And, you know this girl is saying we're afraid. She was giving examples of when she was harassed and how worried she is to go out even to the supermarket at 6 p.m., in the winter it's dark at 6 p.m.. Germany...Germany is dead! Let's see if she said oh the youth in Germany now call Angela Merkel Fatima but that was kind of cute that they're calling her Fatima Merkel

1:29:54 What she consistently says in this video, and this is something Ancilla pointed out. Is I can't believe these are refugees if this is how why would refugees ever act like this in a country that is here to help them? To host them and we really want to do good And I think she may be right it may not be just specifically refugees and this is you know Ancilla Jean provocateur yes Ancilla's point is its Jean provocateurs exactly And I have, well there's some credence to that. Because the number one message coming out of Europe and I have two separate reports but pretty much the same report from both France and Germany

Rising Antisemitism in Europe, Jewish Migration to Israel

Reports from Berlin and Paris highlight a significant increase in antisemitic attacks, leading many European Jews to emigrate to Israel. In Marseille, a Jewish teacher was attacked in an ISIS-inspired incident, prompting local rabbis to advise against wearing religious skullcaps in public. Chancellor Angela Merkel calls for vigilance against antisemitism among young migrants from countries where hatred of Israel is widespread.

antisemitism· germany· france· israel· aliyah· marseille· kippah

1:30:39 So here is the German report. Michael Gross is praying on his own today, here in Berlin's Center for Jewish Students Most other students only come here on Shabbat, the Jewish Holy Day Gross is German but sometimes he doesn't feel that he belongs The existence of Jews and Germany is still something extraordinary And I don't know when it will become normality But I'm proud to live here as a Jew Gross believes that Jews have to support each other in times like these Antisemitism is on the rise in Germany too. Anti-Semitic attacks increased last year by 10 percent, according to an organization citing unpublished government figures. Gross admits to feeling uneasy. I wouldn't say that i'm afraid but the spirit of anti-semitism is in the air sometimes I feel uncomfortable wearing a kippah on the street

1:31:28 But I don't think you should let yourself be deterred if you want to wear one. Even if many Jews from other European countries are emigrating to Israel at the moment, Mikheil is adamant that he wants to stay in Germany Okay so there's the German report anti-Semitism on the rise coming from being from just people on the street Jews don't want to wear their kippah or Yamaka, I guess as we'd say here. They're worried and they are moving away to Israel Here's the French report The ages are as varied as the backgrounds in this class Students in their 20s or 40s from France or Russia all learning the same language Hebrew They are new immigrants to Israel part of the largest wave of Jewish immigration from Western Europe to Israel since 1948 French Jews are leading that wave Many have made their home in Ashdod a city in southern Israel

1:32:19 Here, you are as likely to hear French on the streets as Hebrew. The cultural center here in the heart of Ajdod right near City Hall looks an awful lot like the Louvre and across the street is Café Lyon a popular meeting spot for the French community here in the city Sitting here at this French cafe in Ajdod, it's quite stunning. All the conversations you hear around me are in French. The entire menu is in French and on the window outside it says in French, joie de vivre, the enjoyment of life And that's what French Jews like Charlie Dahan say they're looking for a place to combine their old home with their new one We've tried to preserve our culture here he says It's very important hold onto that when you lived in different country for 30 or 40 years

1:32:59 We bring our old culture with us and try to combine it with the new one. Reminders of why they left continue to this day, a Jewish teacher was attacked last week in Marseille in an ISIS inspired attack And the city's chief rabbi told Jews not to wear religious skull caps called Akipa on the French streets According to the EU The vast majority of French Jews avoid openly identifying as Jewish at least some of the time Alright, that's problematic and particularly in Europe where we've been through this. Whatever happened to never again? I would say that the German Chancellor Fatima Merkel has taken this to task in her... she has a video podcast so you know as she said particular vigilance is necessary regarding young people who come from countries where hatred of Israel and Jews is widespread

1:33:48 She called for intensive action against the anti-semitism urging vigilance particularly regarding young people from countries where hatred of Israel and anti-semitism is widespread. Now before we talk about that just a couple things that are in the news related to this there's not... There was a call in Germany, let me see who was it that said this? No, this is a Muslim Stern group Is that it? Yes, we're saying if Germany wants to prevent further sex attacks This is on Facebook. So who knows how big this group really is then Germany must ban alcohol Because you know obviously that's something that doesn't jive well with the immigrants and women should not be wearing perfume because you know That's like just throwing the raw meat in front of the wolves and this is from this Muslim group themselves In Sweden

Cultural Integration Classes, Finland and Norway Refugee Centers

Finland introduces mandatory classes for asylum seekers to teach Western values, specifically regarding the equality of women and sexual consent. The BBC reports on the cultural clash as teachers explain that a woman's clothing or presence at a disco does not imply sexual availability. The hosts reference the show "Lillehammer" as a depiction of the realities within Nordic refugee centers.

finland· norway· cultural integration· sexual assault prevention· lillehammer· migrants

1:34:46 There was just a case around 22 year old Bosnian man who could not prove that he had driver's license. because he couldn't get the paperwork, he didn't have the original paperwork from wherever his home country was. I'm being persecuted." So they've changed their regulations now that you have up to 12 months grace period if you're caught in Sweden driving without a license If you're an immigrant then they'll give you twelve months to either find it or take a test Well, you get to drive around just 12 months whether you have a license or not. This is... Why don't they make them take the test immediately? Yeah sure! Like this guy got one week I know this is pissing people off The BBC though the BBC have this article which is uh you should read the whole thing it's teaching migrants how to behave and this is about Finland and then again I want to implore everyone to watch Lillehammer the first season which of course not Finland but Norway

1:35:49 what really goes on in these refugee centers and how strange the cultural clash is. Migrants arriving in Finland are being offered classes on Finnish values and how to behave towards women. Concerned about a rise in the number of sexual assaults in the country, the government wants to make sure that people from very conservative cultures know what to expect in their new home." So in Finland, Johanna says who is one of these teachers. You can't buy a wife! A woman will only be your wife if she wants to be because here women are men's equals This is what has to be taught Her pupils all receive recently arrived asylum seekers at this reception center hidden away in the snowy depths of the Finnish forest. Some speak English, some passable and he goes on to say one man hunkered down inside his black ski jacket seems to be taking notes while there's a faint smile on the lips of the only headscarfed young woman in the room of course

1:36:46 Quote, but you can't go out to the disco with a woman here as Johanna. But you can go out to the disco with a woman here she said although remember even if she dances with you very closely and is wearing a short skirt that doesn't mean she wants have sex with you A Somali teenager pulls his woolly hat over his ears and cradles his head in his hands As if his brain can't cope with all this new information Damn This is a very liberal country, he says incredulously. We have a lot to learn in my country if you make sexy with a woman you are killed! He turns to his neighbor, a Malian man of similar age to gauge his reaction It's quite amazing the Malian nods In my country a woman should not go out without her husband or brother Joanna now turns attention to homosexuality and the Iraqi men on back row it's always the back row begin to giggle and snicker

1:37:36 So, you know this shows you in very clear terms that there is a cultural difference that is troubling. Is this just shock to anybody? Yes yeah I guess it is people did not understand... I can see being a shock to the Brits Now let's look at the Jean Provocateur angle Because the one that immediately comes up with you because what are we, what are the... We know what we didn't get. We didn't get hey women are being accosted! That was held back it was partially covered up it was not reported then oh we're sorry we should have reported that but what we do get large pieces on is anti-semitism

CHAPTER 28 / 46 Discussion

Geopolitical Agendas in Europe, Sanctions and Davos Billionaires

The hosts discuss potential hidden agendas behind the European migration crisis, including theories about the destabilization of the EU. At the Davos summit, billionaires express frustration over economic sanctions against Russia, suggesting that now is the time to invest due to low share prices.

davos· sanctions· russia· turkey· zionism· migration policy

1:38:20 with no counter-reporting on the people who supposedly are anti-Semitic. I'll point that out, these pieces did not show anyone saying...any migrants saying oh yeah we hate the Jews so No matter what is happening whether it's a Jean provocateurs Whether there's some angle being played with the anti-semitism vibe i think the end result is the same screwed Well, could you back this up and tell me what the point of this is? You brought a lot of stuff out. I think Scandzilla had it best. She insinuated...I don't want to blame her but she insinuated that it's possibly a Zionist move

1:39:10 by bringing all this to the forefront and really trying to make the immigrants look like total crap for something to happen. And, the best way to do that is once you bring in the Jews with antisemitism in Europe... Well, by your theory they should be bringing in the gays more? Well that's by the BBCs... well maybe they'll be next! Maybe there will be next In fact I'm shocked we haven't heard any reports of gay bashing and beating people up The question is... That is a missing piece of what should be more concise puzzle. So, yes if we look at the puzzle we know that Turkey doesn't care someone wants to ruin Europe because that's what happening. Russia? I don't know well Russia did have relationship with Turkey previously

1:40:04 They cut that ties. I have a bunch of clips about that, I do have one clip that kind of discusses the Russians angle in here not about that particular thing but i would say Russia and Davos this is a short clip of a lot longer series of clips with everybody complaining constantly about sanctions where's the clip? I don't know im looking too I got it, sanctions. So before we play this maybe we should just be on the lookout for the next level which would be as you point out bring in the gays that would be the next piece that would start to solidify that there's more going on that there is some agenda and is not just a horrible migration pattern that is ruining the world but they may be something

1:40:58 happening with this. They would love, and I have great sympathy for that. They would love to see the sanctions ended rather today than a year from now And there is no enthusiasm at all

I have one quick clip from it let me see..I think this will do it oops where are we? Yeah, one of our producers sent this in. weapons are the United States most profitable exports and indeed American ethnic communities have a long tradition of sending weapons to their water on homelands. Let me guess, it's happening with Ukraine too? The Ukrainians have even gone so far as to send dedicated fundraisers to the United States I just got off the phone with someone who gave me a list of American arms dealers most active in the Ukrainian conflict.

Iran Sanctions Lifted, Economic Boom and Tourism

Following the implementation of the nuclear deal, international sanctions on Iran are lifted, unfreezing billions of dollars in assets. President Hassan Rouhani predicts an economic boom and seeks $30-50 billion in annual foreign investment. The lifting of the embargo allows Iran to rejoin the IBAN system and accept international credit cards, which is expected to revitalize its tourism industry.

1:46:40 Unbelievable. Something's sick about it It's very sick That'd be a clip of the day! Yeah, that always happens to me. Be a clip of the day if we had a clip There is no clip I wish we had a trailer of his documentary that would be- oh films maybe what is this? Restoration Green World Rising so this would be it I guess let's see Is that a video yes Oh luckily lets go The scientific community has spoken Climate change is happening now and is caused by human activity. Fossil fuels, black oil, coal and gas have created modern society as we know it but when burnt into the atmosphere carbon causes climate change

1:47:27 But it doesn't have to be this way. We have the solutions and we must move quickly to implement them Human ingenuity working alongside Earth's natural systems is building a new world that is sustainable and self-reliant The Sun wind in waters, they can move away from our dependence on fossil fuels Okay, well look at that impulse there'll be clips from this Thursday show for sure Thanks Angela dynamite Play the Howard Dean scream. Do we have that? Doing Eclipse? Ah, we do! Okay maybe I should do a combo. It's really nothing compared to what is going on today. No it's...it's still good though. Yeah i think we should do uh maybe if you could do a combo deal like yeah that would work Actually our scream, that super good scream where's that That's the one you want to play. Okay right with Howard Dean before

1:48:30 Yeah, Howard Dean and we want the no scream right okay here. We go let's try this again Production while you're ready ladies and gentlemen we do it for you on the fly here we go Nice that's a screen now you're talking Alright, let's play this. Let's catch up with a couple of international things Iran is one of them. Ah yes! Here is the grand leader of Iran talking about where the future lies and once these everything is pulled no more sanctions and they've tourism. International sanctions have been lifted on Iran after the UN atomic watchdog found it had complied with a landmark nuclear deal well

1:49:17 Well the news will see billions of dollars of Tehran's assets unfrozen and an end to crippling bans on its oil exports. But even before diplomats signed on the dotted line firms had been flocking to Tehran for business. Valerian Gauthier and Rochelle Harrison-Pless report Now that the ink is well and truly dry on Iran's nuclear deal, President Hassan Rouhani promises an economic boom for the country. Iran's leader presenting parliament with the proposed annual budget – the first post sanctions. The lifting of sanctions will lead to a significant economic upturn for the country. To achieve a growth rate of 8 percent, we must attract between 30 and 50 billion dollars in foreign investment every year."

1:50:05 Iran is in recession, with a growth rate of around 0%. But an end to long-time embargo opens the door to Iran's return to the global market as Tehran recovers billions of dollars in frozen assets and gains access to international financial systems. With the lifting of sanctions, we can receive payments more easily. There'll be a swift IBAN system in place and we can accept credit cards. That's really important for the tourism industry." Tourism built on the heritage and cultural splendors of the Persian Empire The government aim to roll out the carpet for 20 million tourists between now 2025 Several hotel groups such as Accor have prepared for the spike in visitors and locked-in lucrative contracts

1:50:50 The French brand has already opened two hotels near the new airport in the Iranian capital. Yeah, I'd like to go yeah me too I'll be great but and Iran and North Korea North Korea at the top of the list yes, of course yeah, um I had a little piece on Iran from Carrie About this kind of you know we know him. He's a douche Yeah, but what's gonna happen with all that money so even if it's the least worst outcome But just to put a fine point did you believe that any of that 55 billion dollars ends up in the hands of terrorists? I think some of it will end up in the hands of The IRGC or other entities some which are labeled terrorist and

Fast and Furious Gun Found with El Chapo, ATF Investigation

1:51:37 You know to some degree. I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that every component of that could be prevented But I can tell you this right now we are not seeing the early delivery of funds Going through that kind of endeavor at this point in time, I'm sure it's some points some of it will okay Terrorists will be getting the money run the country No he cannot don't let him the El Chapo arrest had it. I know El Chapo news Yeah, well this is... It's been bubbling for a couple of days This is the report that I picked up almost a week ago Mexican police raided Joaquin El Chapo Guzman home two weeks ago Inside they found a handgun and eight rifles including a .50 caliber Barrett sniper rifle The $13,000 weapon is designed to stop a vehicle penetrate armor or bring down a helicopter in single shot

1:52:37 According to federal sources, an ATF trace matched that weapon's serial number to a master list of some 2,000 guns sold through Operation Fast and Furious. The U.S. government sting operation that inadvertently funneled thousands of weapons into the Sinaloa cartel. House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz and fellow Republican Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley are writing a letter Wednesday demanding the ATF turn over the serial numbers of all of the weapons found in El Chapo's possession So Fast and Furious had kind of dropped off the radar. Because they can't make a case, and the Justice Department under Holder would refuse to turn anything over! And our theory of course is not a theory but was brought out in testimony in Chicago courts

1:53:23 Here is White House spokesman Josh Earnest with his response to the situation. The ATF has reportedly identified a .50 caliber rifle that was found in El Chapo's hideout. I'm wondering, is the administration frustrated to... from the Fast and Furious program? Is the administration frustrated to again see weapons from this program show up at crime scenes?

1:54:01 John, I can tell you that I've seen those reports. I haven't actually been able to confirm them independently so let me take a look at that Yeah obviously yeah i'm sure you'll rush right over and take a look at that more generally We've been quite concerned about the ease with which arms tends to...arms tend to flow across the border between United States and Mexico And we honestly worked uh..we got into great lengths to work with the Mexico government To try shut down the flow of arms back and forth between our two countries What a liar! What a horrible liar and this came up in a hearing on the hill with our country and Western Attorney General Lynch served previously in the House of Representatives in the oversight and government reform committee It was part of the committee when we went through the subpoena process to ask her predecessor for additional documents For the fast and furious investigation on guns

1:54:53 Those were delayed to us. Privilege was announced on that as of yesterday, a court has told the Attorney General's office those documents need to be turned over by February 2nd. I need clarification will all those documents now be released to the oversight and government reform committee by February 2nd? As per the judge's order Well, thank you for the question Senator. We did receive that ruling yesterday we are still reviewing that ruling I am aware of that provision and we want to study it carefully and determine what appropriate steps to take and timeliness but i can certainly assure you either responding to the committee or to the court at the appropriate time. So you're not saying yes or no whether those documents will be turned over in time? Clearly they've been collected for years. If we'll pursue any additional legal action, we have not made that decision if I would let you know and since we have not I'm not able to give you that information this time. Do you know when that answer will come back out? We will let you know certainly within the time period that you just mentioned

CHAPTER 32 / 46 Discussion

Drug Trafficking and Political Regulation, Clinton and Bush Families

The hosts discuss the history of alleged government involvement in drug trafficking, referencing Mina, Arkansas, and the Sinaloa cartel. They suggest that Donald Trump's "wall with a big door" policy is a move toward regulating and organizing the drug trade rather than stopping it. They argue that establishment candidates like Clinton and Bush are preferred by those who benefit from the current unorganized system.

donald trump· hillary clinton· jeb bush· sinaloa cartel· drug trade· mina arkansas

1:55:53 Exactly. We'll have none of that. If I were a cynical guy, you'd think that the future of this country depends on who can manage the drugs best And I think the Obama administration did pretty well, you know with the guns and helping the drugs get out. Yeah, helping the Sinaloa cartel kill people. And letting Guzman out a few times and then catching him again it's like can't you take a hint at Guzman? Take off! Go to South America Now the go-to people of course for drug running are the Clintons If you look up Mina Arkansas and do that through a proxy

1:56:35 so you don't get a visit from Hillary. Do yourself a favor. I mean, Arkansas allegedly the Clintons were running the drugs for the Bushes just to make it even crazier. So the person who would be most suited to be president of United States has got to be Donald Trump because he wants to regulate the trade that's what his big wall and door is about You know, the beautiful door is to sanction and get stuff through that we want to have come through and have it a little more organized. And with that comes HSBC's coming... Yeah, because it was pretty unorganized the way it is now. It's very unorganized! That stupid Fast and Furious thing? I mean come on. That's not a good way to handle it No, now they're under investigation and they have to keep lying to the public into the Congress and Congress is too wimpy to do anything about Now we could also say it would be great if you had Hillary Clinton Jeb Bush running against each other which was the initial idea

1:57:33 before Trump came in and ruined it all. Yeah, that's a no-lose situation. Then whoever gets in will run the drugs properly and people can think that I'm crazy crackpot for saying this but there is enough evidence... There's enough evidence! But not for saying this? No. Drugs come into the country and they're coming mainly from Mexico for sure For sure So anyone who was against the wall But those who are for it and want a beautiful door yeah, so that that to me And Trump has a background even though the mob they you know they try to stay away from from drugs You know liquor and stuff and they'd be in that kind of stuff. Oh, it's a myth I don't could be but maybe I'm just cynical. I don't know we do have a new army secretary coming in

CHAPTER 33 / 46 Discussion

New Army Secretary Eric Fanning, ISIS Strategy and McCain

During confirmation hearings, acting Army Secretary Eric Fanning is questioned by Senator John McCain regarding the lack of a Status of Forces Agreement in Iraq. Fanning reports that 6,400 ISIS fighters were killed in three months but warns of a long fight ahead. The hosts note that Fanning is the first openly gay secretary of a military branch.

eric fanning· john mccain· isis· army secretary· status of forces agreement· iraq

1:58:24 Is he the new Joint Chief of Staff or his new Army guy? This will be the new army secretary. Okay, and he's already been acting as the army secretary And this was during his confirmation hearing he was asked about the battle to degrade and destroy ISIS How about listen, tell me if you notice anything peculiar about him. Ostensibly and you were in the administration at the time The reason why we couldn't leave a sustaining force behind in Iraq At the time of withdrawal was because We didn't have a status of forces agreement So therefore it would be impossible for us to leave

1:59:03 force behind yet somehow we have now 4,500 uniformed members of the military and no one seems to be concerned about the fact we don't have a status of forces agreement with the Iraqis. There's McCain doing his typical thing like whoa how can we be there if we don't have the right to be there? I find that curious Let me ask you a fundamental question. In Iraq and Syria, in the battle against ISIS which is now metastasizing at least to the degree where we are going to have to attack ISIS in Afghanistan among other places Are we winning? Mr Chairman, I think it's too early to tell We clearly are

1:59:39 putting a lot of pressure on ISIS, but they're also showing that they can put pressure on us and they're not contained. But I do think we are making progress recently Open source reporting of 6400 Isis fighters killed in the last three months We've disrupted the supply route between Mosul and Raqqa Taking back Sinjar and Ramadi but a great deal needs to be done. I do believe it's a long fight Yeah, long fight. What about the oil? Nothing about the oil. The oil going to Turkey what about that? Did McCain say anything about that? What's interesting about this guy is... Oh wait did his buddy uh his pal Lindsey Graham come up and start asking the following kinds of questions Do you agree with me when I say this do you agree with me when i say this yeah did he come out and do that no but he is a member of the gay and lesbian victory fund

2:00:30 This guy, our new army secretary is gay. Unless you meant Lindsey Graham? No! Well, Lindsey Graham's totally gay. Hell yeah. Yeah I'd never heard of this guy and he was... let's see he was a deputy secretary i think but i don't know well do you know these secretaries which are the guys who really run those not that joint chiefs guys But it's... They actually run stuff, you mean. They report to the secretary. The secretary is the one who is the boss. Yeah, they make stuff happen for sure. For sure. And they're all political many of them aren't even military. Well before we thank people... Wait! Before since you brought in a topic about... You have a clip that I want to play because you mentioned that were talking about degrade and all this term. We have a term called rubbleize? Yes, we do.

CHAPTER 34 / 46 Discussion

Divide and Ruin Strategy, Kurdish Independence and Middle East

A British analyst describes the Western approach to the Middle East as a "divide and ruin" strategy, particularly concerning Kurdish independence movements. The hosts adopt the term as a more accurate description of the "rubble-ization" of the region by the U.S., UK, and Turkey.

divide and ruin· kurds· turkey· iraq· syria· geopolitical strategy

2:01:28 I ran into a British analyst that was on one of these obscure shows, and he has another term which is our... it's the longer version of our rubble eyes. But see if you can pick it up in this clip before we go to the rest of the announcements of people who helped us. This is key clip on Kurds worries about demands for independence from its own Kurds and from the Syrian Kurds. So I suspect there will be no independent state actually recognized internationally, but Turkey and US Britain will kind of make these noises to egg them on and spur them on to continue with their divide-and-ruin strategy that they're employing against Iraq and the other countries in the region. Oh well yeah! Yeah perfect!

2:02:25 I think we did it. Divide and ruin? Yeah, that was it! It was in there. Divide and ruin strategy. Beautiful. I'm writing it down. That's a good one. Divide and ruin strategy... As soon as I heard that I said oh man that's a good one. I mean it's not as kind of apocalyptic and rubble-ized but is probably the term used internally To fight and ruin. That's exactly what we're doing! It's another show title right there Yeah, I'm looking at it as such... I think that we can settle our dispute once and for all We have a dispute? We have a small dispute you and i Okay Do you know the dispute is about? I had no idea Well you wrote a whole column about it so.. I probably did About Google self-driving car Oh yes right

CHAPTER 35 / 46 Discussion

Self-Driving Car Skepticism, Obama's Detroit Auto Show Promises

The hosts debate the future of autonomous vehicles following President Obama's pledge to accelerate their deployment. One host bets that fully self-driving cars will not happen in their lifetime, arguing that the technology will remain limited to driver assistance features like adaptive cruise control. They criticize the push for driverless cars as "stupid" compared to improving inter-car communication.

self-driving cars· barack obama· detroit auto show· tesla· driver assistance· google car

2:03:19 So I think I can prove that it will not happen in our lifetime, which what exactly was the bet? I said we won't see it happen in our lifetime and you said we will yes And you say if you stick by your dollar yeah. Yeah, and you stick by your prediction. Yeah, okay well I Can prove to you that it's not going to happen proof-proof-proof You got to be thinking about the future not just the past and that's what you're doing here in Detroit You're not just making cars that people want today, you're thinking about cars that people are going to want tomorrow. When I was over at the auto show, I saw plug-in hybrids and electrics and fuel efficient cars that can protect our planet save people money at the pump You're working on self driving cars that one day could prevent accidents and save lives

2:04:06 This year my administration's gonna take steps to get more of those cars on the road. You can take that to the bank." There you go, it'll never happen because he promised it! It's never going to happen. We need we need more driver assistance stuff That's a great idea Why is in my car not communicating with the traffic system? Maybe it is... You sound like Ford Like Henry? No, Ford Motor Company. What you're saying is exactly what they were always spieling. What are they saying? Just what you just said! We need more inter-car communication with cars talking to each other and cars talking to their traffic. Yes I agree with that. Imagine this for a second.

2:04:55 Modern cars do what Tesla does, you know give you a little jolt on the wheel saying hey You're getting off track and I'm sure every car could easily be converted to if you really want the automatic driving thing Yeah If someone stops short in front of you it stops as adaptive cruise control But what if I could make a deal? You know with I'm driving to work but I said I'll take a longer route and then I'll sell my spot In the quick route that someone else who can take him there's a million things we can do. But this going driverless is stupid Well, that's funny you should bring any of this up because there is a moment which I was thinking about we're gonna do tech news We could have no well. We can we can do it right after the break You want to do it after the break okay? But it's gonna be talking about cars but cars and one other topic that I have

GM Maven Ride-Sharing, Lyft Investment and Hitchhiking History

General Motors launches "Maven," a new ride-sharing and car-sharing service, following a $500 million investment in Lyft. The hosts discuss the decline of personal car ownership among young urban Americans. They compare the modern ride-sharing trend to the hitchhiking culture of the 1970s, characterizing it as a "depression motif" driven by economic necessity.

general motors· maven· lyft· sidecar· ride-sharing· hitchhiking

2:14:24 Now this is a good one. I was like, what are these guys thinking? And I didn't realize that General Motors which is the clip here that General Motors was big investor in Lyft and they also invested inside car and shuttered it. Well, here's the latest idea. On Thursday General Motors introduced Maven its new ride sharing service in a statement GM president Dan Amman said we are seeing significant changes in consumer behavior as people want to take advantage of new situations like ride sharing and car sharing We see significant opportunities as those changes are coming and want to make sure we're at the forefront of it

2:15:04 GM is putting a notable emphasis on personalization in their new program. In the car sharing trial to take place in Michigan, all cars will provide connected systems. Drivers will be able to book the cars with their smartphones and can use WhatsApp for customer service inquiries. Apple's CarPlay and Android Auto will also have roles in the service. The news comes shortly after GM invested $500 million dollars in Lyft and then bought Sidecar which closed its doors in December. The announcement only added to the discussion on the future of cars in America and how personal ownership could become a thing of the past, and just recently a survey demonstrated that a smaller amount of young Americans are getting their driver's license. And it's not just because of the increase in ride-sharing. It's also because of the mass migration to urban environments so there is more than one culprit behind this shakeup in the auto industry

2:15:57 Well, that is news to me about the $500 million. And also apparently you buy a new GM car and this app becomes part of the car so if you want to just casually pick somebody up I guess... Uh, I would say that's a great idea. It's a horrible idea and I believe this to be a 40 year cycle situation very much involved with The Depression Why is it a horrible idea? It's a horrible idea! Why?! Because you're gonna get mugged Yeah, well there's that. Get mugged, get robbed! This is an analog, the whole ride sharing thing. I think there's some... it has some legs away Uber is doing but generally speaking I think the whole ridesharing thing is a depression motif Oh no doubt! Much like mac and cheese And its exactly the same as the hitch hiking phenomenon in the 70s Good comparison I knew guys who hitch hiked across the country I used to hitch hike once in awhile and pick people up constantly It used to be kinda cool you picked up some girls You'd be hitch hiking with some babe

2:17:01 standing or hitchhiking. Hold on a second, do you recall picking up a babe hitchhiking? Often! Really?! Well I'm not going to tell the story again the Tahoe story... No, we know the Tahoe stories. That will be coming in the future Well, yes. The sad part of this ride sharing is that it's middle class people who can't afford their car and they're forced to drive other middle-class people around in their car. It was very sad. When I first went to France in the 70s to go visit Bordeaux and drive around especially

1970s French Economy, Solex Motorized Bicycles

A host recounts traveling through France in the 1970s and observing the widespread use of Solex motorized bicycles due to the poor economy. They describe the "two-wheel culture" where riders would tow each other to save fuel. The discussion turns to the mechanics of two-stroke engines and the rarity of old Saabs that used similar technology.

solex· france· 1970s· bordeaux· motorized bicycles· two-stroke engines

2:17:38 I remember, this was in the middle of the depression. The 70s Depression where we had all this craziness Was that not... they didn't call that the Great Depression? No no there was a sense nobody called it Nobody did great depressions as the 30's and everything since then has been I mean Great Recession No This is the Great Recession This is bigger than the 70s No! I don't think so. The 70s was far worse than this Okay okay I think they've done a pretty good job of buffering how bad it could be. And I think that has to do with quantitative easing, personally, which relates back to...I could go on for hours about that but

2:18:15 So I'm driving around France, I got rented a car and two things I noticed. One was people were trying to run me off the road and they were flipping me off and yelling and screaming at me in Bordeaux. And then somebody said, I said jeez the drivers are on here terrible, ask somebody about this. They say oh no wonder you got Paris plates! Ah! And apparently there's a lot of bigotry in France generally speaking about the city dwellers of Paris so if you knew what you were doing you wouldn't have gotten that car with those plates But the thing I noticed the most was everywhere. I went especially driving around the countryside were girls Generally girls agency with guys girls everybody had these little bicycles with these little motors on them they're a little bitty motors and the motor made contact with the wheel and it was like it looked like a Like a little siren motor that kids would have you mean at the two-wheeler

2:19:09 Yeah, it was a two wheel. It's called the Solex I own one. Everybody has so Lexus let me explain this all X. Okay, you have a small two stroke engine which is attached to the frame on the front and it has a roller wheel on it. And do you get the bike up to speed and then you put the the engine block is a handle. You put the engine block on the wheel and then it, you know as long as you give it a little throttle, it'll start because its generating the spark and then uh...it will..its called a help engine but I once participated in the 24 hour Solex race of de Kvakkel in The Netherlands where we souped them up and ran em on almost pure alcohol they were like 80

2:19:52 80. God! Not long though... Anyway, so anyway these girls had the Solexes and what you would see commonly and this was throughout the countryside of France two girls on bikes one of them had a Solex both of them had Solexes but only one Solex was operating the other girl held her hand holding onto her yes I've seen it hold her yeah And then she would maybe crank her so that way they could save the five cents of gasoline these things used. They'd be pulling each other around, that's how bad the economy was. They were also just kind of cool

2:20:34 Well, it was...it was I don't know. It seemed like-I'd rather not be pulled by hand but Oh! But we used to see it. But see growing up in a two wheel country like the Netherlands We had this all the time is like if your buddy had a Solex and you were on your bike say hey man And then he just hold onto his upper arm for a little while while he's dragging you along That's it was never legal but oh this is that's two wheel culture. That's very normal Yeah well You Don't See It Today No, but we should those I think they still make so so like yes. They do I looked it up I need to get with us a beautiful machines We put on the big aluminum plates. It's probably illegal in the US because most two-stroke engines have been outlawed. Oh, is that so? That's why I'd love to get one of those old Saabs... The early Saabs with a 2 stroke engine They had two strokes in them and they were 3 cylinder or I think they're three cylinder, two strokes And they make a racket and just belch smoke Excellent You know oil Because they burn oil Yeah Well that if you don't have the mix right

IPFS Interplanetary File System, Decentralized Web and Blockchain

The hosts discuss IPFS (Interplanetary File System), a new peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to create a permanent, decentralized web. Using blockchain and Distributed Hash Table (DHT) technology, IPFS allows files to be stored and retrieved via unique hashes rather than central servers. The hosts express excitement about its potential to prevent censorship and "broken links" on the internet.

ipfs· blockchain· distributed hash table· dht· peer-to-peer· filecoin

2:21:35 Yes, you shouldn't be burning too much smoke out of it. But it's still burning oil and they make just a horrible sound. It just sounds like crap and I just think we cool to have one of those driving around. All right from the tech news category have something for the dudes named Ben little participation thing now I've been reading a lot about Bitcoin again because there was one of these guys who was in the core Bitcoin developers group and he left and he went to the commercial, I think it's the R3 blockchain group. It was a bunch of banks who were trying to replicate Bitcoin technology and make their own version of it

2:22:18 And this guy wrote you know lit like a fire under the whole thing is oh Bitcoin is gonna fail. It doesn't scale as horrible as a piece of shit, and then he went over to the commercial guys You know so I have my favorite Bitcoin people Dennis I'm looking at you who will say well, you're just bullshit You know this is that always they always say it's gonna. It's not gonna happen and yeah Then they keep sending me videos, and this is why it's going to be sustainable and everybody in the bitcoin community is laughing so But what I learned from this is that the Bitcoin, the blockchain which is really all it is. It's a distributed database which is handy and and I've always been looking at DHT space which is Distributed Hash Tables and which has pretty much a distributed database And there are bunch of guys who started this new project called IPFS

2:23:14 the interplanetary file system. Have you heard of this one, John? Nope! You gotta look at it IPFS dot IO and their idea is... It's a blockchain technology it's a distributed hash table and you start up your peer-to-peer so you started up and then you add files in these and the files are turned into a hash which is just a string pretty much like like an encryption hash. But that is unique to that file, and they have an interesting API which would... so the ultimate idea they have is to have a web that never expires

2:23:57 So you can through their API, store and retrieve web pages or any kind of object really. Whether it's an HTML page or JavaScript or a Node.js or MP3 file And it will always have that unique hash string and it will live in the HashCloud, the distributed hash table And it will always be there if there's enough peers and it doesn't go away. So, similar to BitTorrent Sync has a little bit of this but this is completely open source and I've been playing with it for the past couple of days. I'm very impressed! So I'm going to put the hash for this show, for the mp3 file into the show notes at 7903.noagendanotes.com and also noagendashow.com And i would like to see how that works we have a unique audience for testing this kind of stuff yes we do very unique this way and it would...it could really give the whole network a boost um and I'm very bullish on the concept

2:24:57 You've been looking for something like this a long time, not necessarily this but something like this. As a backup for the days of the government that says you guys cannot publish files, your networks are chewing up too much bandwidth and making to much money, your subversive... Well there's no danger of that! Well, that's true. You're douchebags you don't want to hear from me anymore." Well you can't publish stuff! Oh, you published the Unabomber license? Yeah exactly. Can't talk about that... Exactly and with this I mean you throw it- you publish it and It is out its gone as long as one other person accesses it And of course you have you always have bootstrap peers and stuff like that but

2:25:42 You can have an app on your phone that would enable you to just click on a link and it would be retrieving these files from the DHT space. And you wouldn't even know, it could be a browser plug-in, you wouldn't even know it except for the fact that it would be available all the time. Links don't break! in this manner. You know, the file... you don't need a path you don't need to serve it just here's the filename and it's in a hash structure and you will retrieve it. And I've been... It's really amazing! It really does work. So it's using protocols Git DHT BitTorrent Bitcoin SPS Well its own protocol but that is those concepts Yeah peer-to-peer hypermedia distribution protocol

2:26:34 And you're also doing a cryptocurrency called Filecoin. Right, but it's all part of the same technology that's what's beautiful about I think the technology is proven to work and honestly Bitcoin for all its trials and tribulations which uses the exact same technology is still working But to do this for files, I think will be it'll be fun and i'd really like people to set it up Look if I can install it on my macbook then anybody can install. It's not like a huge complicated thing IPSF dot io And I'd like to see how we do and let's you know I'm always looking for alternative distribution methods Not just for cost but also for look if you can decentralize Facebook it would be much better

2:27:21 If no one controls it. Yeah, you're gonna have some douchebag saying oh you can't run those hate speech! And the great thing is I don't think you can even delete a file that's gone into DHT Well that's something to think about because then had you'd then have to go and find every peer that has a copy That actually in and of itself is interesting right? Right, also you don't need the bit torrent trackers which is why all these torrents sites are going down Now, so they kind of take a different approach and instead of saying well you need a tracker and then the torrent. And someone has this information saying no everybody has the information everybody has a version of the distributed database So you can find what that file should be and where it was last seen or multiple pieces of it Then you can bring it in I'm got to tell ya I am a little excited

Oscars So White Controversy, Ice Cube on Straight Outta Compton

The "Oscars So White" controversy is dismissed by the hosts as a publicity stunt to boost award show ratings. Rapper and producer Ice Cube is featured in an interview where he expresses a sensible view, stating that he makes movies for the fans rather than industry accolades. The hosts predict that host Chris Rock will use the controversy to his advantage during the broadcast.

2:28:16 Because I'm just I know I Got it. I you know one of them ended abruptly were you done? We did you have a tech news to do yeah, I started it General Motors. They said was just gonna be cars that was tech news and we just started that we just ended Tech News Yeah When I did my tech news car thing in the segment yeah, and then I did my tech news Yeah, so what do you want me to do now? Oh? I thought you said that it wasn't over or something. I don't know no No, I never said that okay well What I want you to do now is uh I would like you to I've saved it to the end we've done at the beginning twice as The Oscar's so white controversy continues

2:29:10 What's nice about this controversy, which is nothing more than promotion for the show. I predict though if they can keep this going until you know the end of February which may be tough we're gonna see pushback but I predict pretty big ratings for the show To prepare myself I watched Straight Outta Compton The other night okay have you seen the movie no I I think it is deserving of the nomination for screenplay, although the movie was too long. It's like two and a half hours or something movies too long ended in kind of weird way. I thought that acting was great not an Oscar performances there

2:29:53 But the story is a good story. That's why it deserves the nomination for screenplay and I was at MTV around the time when these guys were, you know, when NWA was rising Eazy-E Snoop Dogg Dr. Dre and we have Ice Cube who of course it really one of the most successful guy who went on to create this mega empire And he was on The Graham Norton Show in the UK and it was just refreshing to hear his take on the oscar so white controversy since it really kind of revolves also a bit around his movie. I think we've got to mention uh straight out of Compton congratulations Oscar nominators best original screenplay yes and obviously because the Oscars have now got mired in this in this controversy this year, where do you stand on all of that? Like who will you go are you going

2:30:46 I never used to go anyway. You're not boycotting? You can't boycott something that you never went to anyway, so... That's kind of weird. No, it's a...I look at it as like a horse race, once your horse lose the race, you tear up your ticket and gone just back on out you know because it's nothing really to put that much energy into like that. It's a we don't do movies for the industry, we do movies for the fans, for the people and uh you know the industry you know if they give you a trophy or not or patch on the back of not...it's nice but it's not something that you should dwell on yeah I mean oh we got

2:31:30 accolades from all levels, you know. From our core fans, from our curious fans, from our fans or people who didn't even think they wanted to see that movie I think an older generation got a understanding on why we did that kind of music and the younger generation got a history lesson And we got so much praise for the movie It's like how could you be mad? one other academy or guild or anybody didn't say it's the number one. You know, it's like you know it's crying about not having enough icing on your cake. There ya go refreshing from Cube. Yeah refreshing actually a very sensible way to look at this and you're right but

Norway Cashless Society Proposal, DNB Bank

Norway's largest bank, DNB, calls for the total elimination of cash to combat money laundering and black market sales. The bank claims the central bank can only account for 40% of the kroner in circulation. The hosts warn Norwegians against this move, noting that it grants total control of the economy to financial institutions.

2:32:18 It's not about any of this anyway, it is a publicity stunt. It is a publicity stunt and its working quite well. To get more people to watch the ratings have been sketchy Always have been up and down up and down and they got Chris Rock I mean if you hate the blacks thing what would they have Chris Rock as their host? Yeah that's the guy you want to host with controversy That's perfect! He'll make a few comments A few? Lots of fun about Whitey Yeah, he'll do that. That's what he does and we'll love it by the way Oh yeah, well like to be abused by him will love it Norway's biggest bank is calling for the country to stop using cash oh geez yeah actually the DnB is that their central bank no? No It's not the central Bank largest bank in Norway has called for the country to stop using cash This comes as the latest get a clue Norwegians well there they got trouble now

2:33:14 This comes as the latest move in a country that has been leading the global charge towards electronic money. Yes, DMB, the bank with the proposal said that eliminating use of cash would cut down on black market sales and crimes such as money laundering Today, there are approximately 50 billion kroner in circulation and the country's central bank, Norsja Bank can only account for 40% of its use. That means 60 percent of money usage outside any control we believe that is due to under-the-table money and laundering Norway do not let this happen It's crazy Yeah They need more Chinese there or Chines won't put up with this crap

UK De-radicalization Program, Signs of Extremism in Youths

The British government launches a website to help parents identify signs of radicalization in their children. Signs include "mistrust of mainstream media" and "anger towards the government." The hosts mock the criteria, noting that many of their own listeners would be flagged as potential extremists under these guidelines.

2:34:00 What are the Chinese doing in Norway? Are there Chinese in Norway? No, there's not enough of them. When the Chinese get into... We have a lot of Chinese in California and they would go nuts if they were forced to. They love cash! But anyway I've got a couple clips. This is a good one this is the UK de-radicalized brainwashing story that was run on RT. I don't know if you know this is going on, you might kind of sense it is but I found this to be an abhorrent situation. The British government has launched a new website aimed at battling what it calls the spell of twisted ideologies On the site parents and teachers can find advice on how to identify signs of radicalization in youths The first sign is argumentativeness or aggression Another alarm bell

2:34:51 changing clothing and as the UK government points out you should also be worried if your child wants to join an extremist organization. The UK has drawn up another leaflet for parents it says that if children start to mistrust the mainstream media, and show anger towards the government, it could be time to worry meanwhile hundreds of children have been referred to a UK government de-radicalization program in the last four years Wow We used to just send your kid to summer camp. Because he was a brat, you know? Shitty ass kid now this? Yeah isn't this great Not really What do you mean you don't like the times? Damn You don't trust the BBC Wow This is bad

A deadly school shooting in a remote Saskatchewan community leaves four people dead. The hosts discuss the lack of international media coverage compared to U.S. shootings, suggesting it doesn't fit the narrative because Canada already has strict gun control laws.

2:35:40 Yeah, especially for some of our listeners. We have a lot of high schoolers and kids that have got a clue. I'm surprised we do...we have a lot of listeners in Saskatchewan? It's because they know how I feel about Saskatchewan. I have no feelings in one way or the other, but... I think Saskatchewan has got to be the only province that I haven't been to. Well, I haven't been to the Northern Territories, but whichever they're called now. They keep changing their name. But Saskatchewan is Saskatoon and it's Paris of the North America. Isn't Regina around there? No, it rhymes with. A stunning act of violence snuffed out four lives today in a remote Saskatchewan community. A gunman opened fire in two locations one of them the local high school The painful details are still emerging but what is already clear It is one of the deadliest school shootings in Canadian history Wow Yeah

2:36:37 They have all these gun laws. They got all kinds of gun controls in Canada, they can't have something like this happen again! It's not possible!" Maybe that's not what we're hearing so much about it on the news. Oh yes...in fact I wonder if i've heard about this? Yeah and okay I got a little Ask Adam thing here. It's not Ask Adams officially, so just a small thing So we don't need the jingle? No I've got this-I'd like a jingle for this somebody's gotta do this This is another one of the What's Wrong With This Reporting segment We don't have a jingle for that. What's wrong with this reporting? Harold and Bertha Coombs were their names, survived by an adult daughter who we're told visited often. Petaluma police say Bertha Coombs is the city's first homicide of the year Frank that's after none all of last year Debra I have to say what struck me here was when you said on average there are 10 murder suicides per week among elderly people. 20 people

2:37:33 I know that number surprised me as well and with the population aging and depression on the rise they are seeing that number climb steadily. Yeah, Deborah Villalon reporting for us live tonight Deborah thank you.

Then we will reform the electoral council and organize elections, but the majority of the people can trust and then the protests will stop." The demonstrators believe Martelly has unfairly favored banana exporters Jovenel Moise. Despite the protests, Moise says he will not abandon his candidacy. People who went out and voted for the Banana Man Number 5 in the PHTK. The banana man! On October 25th, I asked them to continue to trust in me because I will not let them down. I will not betray them and I will not back down.

2:40:47 That's all I got, really. Well, why don't we do the Clinton-Sanders round and get that last piece of information out of here? Okay. Because we're getting closer. Yeah. We are... Well when are the primaries next week? It said seven days, eight days something like that shortly. They're not going to be done on primaries this is caucuses. Caucuses right. What happens in the caucuses? They sit around, they smoke cigars and then they decide on who they're going to give support. It's American politics the way it is supposed to work. But tonight she also turned up the heat on Bernie Sanders Do you believe that the American people are ready to elect a socialist as president of the United States? It's up to the voters I know a number of Democrats people who i highly respect

2:41:28 are concerned and are expressing that concern to me, to journalists and others. From Sanders today confidence... If we do well in both of those states I think my friends we're looking at one other great political upsets in the modern history of the United States of America The Vermont senator also dropping this ad a Simon & Garfunkel throwback to the song America And Bernie Sanders just now came out swinging saying in a statement quote Clinton's lead is evaporating here in Iowa and we understand why her campaign is panicking David the gloves are off in this race. The gloves off with 11 days to go Cecilia, thank you Hey what's wrong with Bernie Sanders? Hello 1970 we want our campaign song back Simon and Garfunkel seriously What an idiot

2:42:23 You got big Mike who's? Promoting you and you're gonna play Simon and Garfunkel as your campaign song. It's targeted Yeah, yeah for the F of the Iowans.

2:43:11 And both teams win at home all the time and this will be... biggest challenge for the Warriors are not expected to win by any of the experts and They could and it could do will shake things up if they do all right.

2:44:28 Is he qualified to be commander in chief? Well, you know that's going to be a determination that the American people are making. I would suggest that the next commander-in-chief instead of living or dialing by The Daily Polls and then by the latest Twitter storm should focus on identifying our enemies, listening to the expert advice of generals and admirals in national security exports. And doing whatever is necessary to keep this country safe.

2:45:26 You have to figure out, alright what do we do from here? And you're right. We've gotta get some jobs. I want some jobs! We will.
