It's gonna be throbbing and everyone who sees it will see the throbbing and ends and then put ditto under Good one John Ditto yeah that so you know I think that's in the players hand guide actually Yeah say ditto exactly Love and light this morning going out to the team at stitcher Did you hear about this? No. The Stitcher is a pretty big podcast app and they have an interesting business model which where they insert ads before I think, an after or if you pause the show then when you unpause it, an ad will play anyway they got a lot of shows on there. A lot of people using their system that a lot of people listen to no agenda show through there as well and they had some catastrophic event take place on Thursday

02:26 And they're still not up. I haven't checked this morning actually, but... Yeah that's bad news. Well I had a big problem with MailChimp! Yeah and now i'm a little confused about this um you sent out the newsletter which uh I received and then you send out an emergency newsletter which was all text. No it wasn't a newsletter, it was notice. Emergency Notice All Text I guess you somehow thought or maybe you had evidence that we were getting caught in spam, or something didn't work. Or why don't tell us what's going on? It was definitely a male-chim problem here is what happened. So I do the newsletter and send it to myself always doing tests so i read it you know and see if you find lot of typos that way. And uh...I didn't get it. Okay well then I sent myself another test changed the subject line

03:17 I think maybe it's a subject line. And, I don't know why I didn't get it because it wasn't in my spam box either and I didn't get it again! The deadline was coming up so they said well just ship it out so I shipped it out and noticed some people got it but I didn't get it again! So then I sent out this little notice and there was one guy who sent me a note saying... In fact he got probably hundreds of people that said I didn't get the newsletter, I got this, I didn't get the newsletter And they from all sorts. Gmail got the newsletter, Gmail didn't get the newsletter Yahoo Mail got the newsletter, Yahoo Mail didn't get the newsletter But it wasn't even spam for these people It was just gone Never arrived and the kicker was one guy He says the following I run my own email server Yeah me too! I run no filters whatsoever Mm-hmm and he didn't get it? And he didn't get it Huh

04:15 Now that tells me it's either an ISP level problem or it is a MailChimp problem. They're not sending out the whole group of email and have you opened a ticket? I sent a letter into my, at least the last contact. You got to open a ticket! You have to open a ticket don't you know how that works? Oh yeah definitely opening a ticket on this. I want to know why... In subversion you have to open a ticket in subversion Don't you know how it works? But all I know is A lot of people didn't get it, and I'm assuming this is happening more often. More often yeah. I thought reviewing it at looking at the original newsletter...I thought maybe was getting trapped in spam because there was a number of times you said offer. Didn't even the subject line have the word offer in it? I don't know that did.

05:07 I don't think that was it. No, no, I wasn't trapped in spam nobody found it and Spam no at least all the notes I've looked at there's been too many to look at all of them so far But I'm gonna put them all I'm going to save all the addresses so how they can check the addresses but Nobody said oh, I found it in a spam. Oh, they said they didn't get it okay? Well, I'm you know. I'm sure it wasn't my spam either. I'm sure you'll figure it out no Mailchimp will figured out when they'll close the ticket eventually ticket Open a ticket pretty interesting pretty interesting day yesterday

05:51 You're talking, let me guess you're going to discuss the slam dunk competition that went on forever? Let me think. No, that's not what I was going to discuss. Actually there was a thing going on at the Ronald McDonald house and there were like 150 bears that people made to give to the kids and families who were there so Tina and I were there. And they had KVUE came in, got the media alert and they came and filmed it. Always want to have that its always good And all of a sudden this guy's like, I gotta go. And he was just one guy and these days when local media covers something it's one guy One guy who has the tripod, you know, he's got a microphone He sets himself up in front of the camera What is KVU? Is that CBS station here? I've got to phone call, I have to go, breaking news! Breaking news! And I'm looking online what could this be? Couldn't figure it out

06:49 And then a couple hours later, and then we figured it out. We knew what had happened He was probably on his way to Marfa of all places to die. He's on his way to Marfa Yeah, Marfa that's where that were Scalia was yes isn't Marfa well he's not a marfan anymore I'm saying I didn't know yeah It wasn't Martha this ran with the Marfa lights are South of it you know But this ranch is kind of interesting. So we're talking about one of the Supreme Court justices in the United States, of Gitmo Nation... Yeah, one of them more outspoken. Well not just outspoken but he was heralded as the bastion of conservative thinking and the original intent of the Constitution hated pretty much universally by Democrats. It was very...

07:45 Interesting to see on the face bag, as soon as this word came out. I mean here's the typical comment... Too bad he's dead but what an idiot! I'm glad he's gone. Nah we should have killed him much earlier. Ah screw this guy, he was always a douchebag and then of course the LGBT community The loving inclusive LGBT community man they were everywhere just saying glad that fucker is dead, glad he's gone, glad he's dead Nice to be inclusive. It's bizarre, John is bizarre guys dead within seconds of the dead. It was yeah it was ding dong which is that they were all so happy about it so happy about it now I of course had exactly the same thought as let's see what his name why do not have this here somewhere? Have an axle rod clip gotta look for this now

08:45 Here we go Axelrod who used to be advisor to President Obama in the beginning right the first the first he was the first chief of staff too wasn't he at the when they first got in Yes, he was chief of staff. You're right you're right so he was on CNN this morning and I could not agree with him more. There is now an empty seat on the highest court in the land president Obama... This sounds like shit i'm sorry about that I don't know why. Obama has promised to fill it but who will he pick? Joining me now with insights into the President's thinking is David Axelrod former senior advisor to President Obama what is happening right now inside the White House you have been through this process with this president

09:24 Well, first let us say that Aaron Sorkin could not have written this script better dropping this right in the middle of a presidential campaign. Exactly! That's what I thought... Script! It's a beautiful script. Yeah, I'm not going to argue with the point that it is well-timed for insofar as we have a presidential election coming up and yeah we got these debates are heating up there they're really they're finally the Republicans and the Democrats both the establishment of both... And i've got some funny clips from people that have been watching this before we do that just for people who have only been watching on the sidelines outside of the United States or in Gizmo Nation who knows

10:05 And it's kind of cynical the way this is all of a sudden turned where now, where we had all the whole future of the country hangs in the balance on who will be the next president. Now it's oh no, the future of the constitution and this is... It's ratcheted everything up to such an incredible degree but very, very cynical that you know, this thinking that the Supreme Court they're only political. That is what you hear from certainly from left A bit from the right, but more... it's all so political. So political! This is these stupid ass conservative judges. The next president is going to pick four Supreme Court justices. Exactly. Exactly. That's the line. Yeah and um uh the yeah so there were we have nine judges on the court

10:53 so you can't have a, you know, an it—a tie vote. And it seems there are five certainly more conservative judges than liberal judges and so that's why this hangs in the balance. And now of course we have this interesting phenomenon where the president will by the laws of the con—by the constitution he appoints with the advice and consent of the Senate, he appoints... They have to approve it. They have to approve it that would be the consent part and of course the Republicans all immediately come out and said, no we're just gonna stall that is not going happen well that's what some other candidates have said yes but thats the general consensus is you know they gotta put off so that way instead letting Obama pick him your gonna let Hillary pick him

11:42 That's really smart. A lot of people, there is a meme now going around where there is a picture of Obama and it says hey thanks Republicans go ahead delay it so that Hillary or Bernie can elect me to the Supreme Court. I know that is a good one. It's a good point made. I like it alot but what's really going to happen and this came in late last night oh yes of course because you know...and I don't why people say that I'm using the money ball analogy incorrectly I think, I'm using it properly where it's not the exact same thing as the baseball money ball. But the idea of okay what... Well let's stop right there so we can straighten this out. What do you think money ball is all about? To me money ball was if you have all the players and look at all the numbers and go deep into statistics and if you have super delegates here half a vote there, this district over there gerrymander that then we can win

12:38 That's how I see moneyball. That's a convoluted interpretation, and i think you're headed in the right direction then you somehow make a leap of faith. Moneyball...I'll tell you what I think it is based on whatever everybody thinks it is who's baseball fan and then you tell me how that works into your theory which is okay. Moneyball is about saving money by finding a player whose stats are better than what he's getting paid and better than his normal acknowledgment. In other words, he is not seen as a superstar but if you look at his numbers this guy...and so you can get him cheap You can put this guy in there and you're gonna get more than your money's worth Okay but then the analogy doesn't work here right? I don't think it doesn't work i think its..I think it's....you just tweaked it funny

13:27 I didn't say that you weren't correct. No, I received... What you're trying to do is put together something efficiently? Yeah, efficiently but really based upon data because we know big data is for small minds and I think that's exactly what they're looking at all big data. We can figure it all out what district isn't gonna do what so it's not exactly the analogy of the movie but that's kind of the idea And Rachel Maddow stop using the money you come up with your own. Yeah, I'll stop use your own term Some it's a definable turn. I'll work on it. I'll work on it. I'll use my own term the curry concept Here's the curry can't the curry concept dot-com So what are we going to do? How do we circumvent how do we circumvent will the

14:13 Not just the people's will. Yeah, good one. How do we circumvent the people's will? Again! No how do we... again! ...how do we circumvent to the Senate and make them look so stupid that they have to approve whoever the president nominates and Machel-Machelrado there you go Rachel Maddow came up with this I mean it's almost harder to imagine something That is going to be a bigger shock to the system than this with something, you know barring some major national security event This is kind of as big a jolt that we can get and so I think anybody who's gonna predict exactly what's gonna happen here Is gonna be embarrassed by those predictions just within the next few weeks. But do you think that? We're gonna have to look for non-traditional circumstances

14:59 and how Supreme Court justices are replaced, and how new ones are picked because the Republicans control the Senate. Because Justice Scalia was such an ideological figurehead on the right because we know that President Obama would replace him with somebody very different than that all those things combined for a very unpredictable future if I had to throw one scenario into the mix this might be the kind of time When the president would choose a nominee who effectively has already been vetted, somebody who can kind of jump the line in terms of the United States Senate. Somebody who has recently been through rigorous confirmation process. Somebody who for example is a cabinet level official in the Obama administration already. The first person that springs to mind

15:47 Okay, I'm stopping it right there for an Ask John. The first... Now Rachel- Before you do the Ask John, I'm giving you a minus one for playing not only a Rachel Maddow clip but one that was horrible. That's okay It's not done yet! You can start from it with a handicap But it's not done yet? Okay, I'll take your handicap and up the ante. You tell me- So to question to ME, you're asking ME Yes, I am asking YOU Cabinet level uhhhhh Loretta Lynch Nooooooo It's somebody who is leaving soon. Somebody who is leaving? Who is leaving their post soon, they are cabinet level official I've already been through senatorial approval process not too long ago really

16:32 You know what would be good? What? We're gonna nominate Hillary and her taking the job. Wow, I hadn't thought of that one! If I had to choose, I'd take that job. That's much better. Screw this half-Bernie, I'm going to become a Supreme Court Justice so I can lord it over all of you. Now notice Rachel is calling in Ben, this is last night. So I'm thinking she was at the White House meeting because the White House was... You know they were meeting all night. What are we going to do? First we need a statement then we have to decide if you're gonna nominate or not. Okay, you're gonna say yes, you can nominate it. All right who can we bring in? Who can we circumvent with the Curry concept? Who can we circumvent? Who can circumvent the whole process here comes. Cabinet level official in the Obama administration already. The first person who springs to mind for that kind of scenario is Homeland Security Secretary Jay Johnson.

17:24 Mmm, Johnson. Now here's her rationale. And indeed, Jeh Johnson is about to leave I think he has a month or two left And, um... nothing better than having the guy who actually signed the death warrants for the drone attacks to be on The Supreme Court. Yeah! Having a Death Judge hanging judge. The Hanging Judge. Exactly. Exactly. And this morning there was more of that uh... That was actually very good. Very good Do I get my minus one back up to nil? Okay Thank you

18:22 I don't know why these clips sound so crappy. Something must have gone wrong, but here is Axelrod on his ideas of some people he had of course the same concept Axelrod as an insider So what was discussed last night talking for said a meeting? Yeah, well, but he had different names I saw some names Kamala Harris the Attorney General of California. Oh my god What I said really Tamela Harris Camila she is the world I know She was in San Francisco as a city attorney. She wouldn't prosecute anything that wasn't racial. She's a racist and

19:00 Some names, Kamala Harris the Attorney General of California who's running for the Senate now. Maybe Cory Booker. That's a bad idea. Cory Booker oh man! Both splendid people I'm sure they would be great justices but why not pick someone who has already been confirmed by the court and is on the bench and clearly qualified and has been rendered as such by the senate? There you go. Been rendered as such that how it's going to come down These people need to be rendered. A couple of things though about this death... Now I find, I looked everywhere trying to find protocol if a Supreme Court justice dies what is the protocol how do you go about doing things he was pronounced dead or not he was within 10 minutes of the but what i saw uh the first announcement of his passing every report said of natural causes he died of natural causes and at

19:59 Even more interesting is that because of where he was, which is on a ranch south of... it's the Cibolo Creek Ranch south of Marfa. There was no coroner available to pronounce him dead and there's only one coroner per county or something like that in this pretty big state. So the coroner they found pronounced him dead through the phone! She hadn't actually seen him but she pronounced him dead He could be on the lam for all we know. Well do you know who owns this ranch?

20:35 Bush? No, pretty much worse I guess. No this is John Poindexter. This is the... John Poindexter owns a ranch in Texas?! It's not the John Poindexter you're thinking of! This is the John Poindexter who has very close ties with the Republican Party but has also donated a lot to Democrats which made him kind of favorable or unfavorable within the Texas stronghold of Republicans This is a very interesting story about how he got this ranch. But you know, it's a luxury ranch we're talking minimum $500 a night in the... It's a hotel! There are hotel rooms. Oh it's hotels? Yeah it's a hotel see this part of what is tricky. So he went to a hotel?! Yeah it's a resort. It's a huge resort. It's a dude ranch. A very upscale dude ranch now when you have someone dying in a hotel room

21:29 You know, it's not like oh you know we were just all out there. We're having a good time camping and then he died Yeah this whole thing seems sketchy yeah And if we were to follow that logic I could tell you who i think my logic then is you know because of course Are you gonna give us a crackpot theory? Yeah imma give ya a crackpot theory for sure Alright let's go Im gonna give you a real good one Now the first thing that I read everywhere is But the Democrats killed him so Obama can be better. Nah, that would be normal sure yeah it's like okay and in that voice too That's pretty much it now my initial thinking was along the Aaron Sorkin lines is

22:13 Yeah, this is the television industry. We have a ton more debates...we got another eight months to go... We had two debates between the last show and this show! But we need to keep the ratings! We need to make the race more exciting. John if you and I could write anything, this is exactly what we would've written right down to the timing of it where everything's getting a little stale there's nothing new really being said at this moment... Shots need to be fired. This thing is now amped up and ramped up But I think, if i were just to give you some crackpot theory here. Watching the debate and this happened right in the beginning Rubio separated by Bush who was just a what a wet noodle that guy is he had nothing to say and then Cruz... What both of them were saying and then how it was moderated And It seemed like to me this was an alley-oop and I think I used the term correctly An alley-oop between Rubio & Cruz

23:13 And if I were to crackpot it, I would say Ted Cruz is responsible for killing Scalia. Then here is the theory so first let's listen to Rubio queried about Scalia's passing. Let me first talk about Justice Scalia and his loss was tremendous and obviously our hearts and prayers go out to his family he will go down as one of the great justices in the history of this republic You talk about someone who defended consistently the original meaning of the Constitution, who understood that the Constitution was not there to be interpreted based on the fads at the moment. But it was there to be interpreted according to its original meaning Justice Scalia understood that better than anyone in the history of this Republic

23:53 His dissent, for example on the independent counsel case is a brilliant piece of jurist work and of course... So far he's talking about what a good lawyer he was. It's all about the original intent and importance of the original intent to the constitution for the Supreme Court. ...his dissent on Obergefell as well Number two, I do not believe the president should appoint someone and it's not unprecedented. In fact it has been over 80 years since a lame duck president has appointed a Supreme Court justice and reminds us of this how important this election is. Someone on the stage will get to choose the balance of the Supreme Court and it will begin by filling this vacancy that's there now. We need to put people on the bench that understand that the Constitution is not a living and breathing document, it has to be interpreted as originally meant." Okay so couple things here first... Using a microphone to record these? Yeah something went wrong with that I'm sorry something went wrong It's only these two the rest are good

24:44 So what Rubio is saying is this is not unprecedented, the 80 years since this has happened and somebody on this stage is going to be the guy who's going to... He didn't say me. who is going to choose that replacement. Then we go over to Cruz, now there was no interruption about the 80 years, there's no question about that whatsoever. Cruz picks this up and Rubio didn't use this to politicize it for himself he just said someone on this stage is the guy who will choose the next Supreme Court justice. Right, its set-up, its set-up That adds the setup of the alley oop So he has the constitutional power

25:23 But you don't think he should. Where do you set that date if your president? Does it begin in election year, in December November September and once you set the date when your president will you abide by that day?" So now we're actually going back into that 80-year question except Rubio got no pushback at all from the moderator nothing this guy starts immediately questioning Cruz about the date Well, we have 80 years of precedent of not confirming Supreme Court justices in an election year. And let me say Justice- Just a minute I'm sorry to interrupt Now why didn't he interrupt Rubio with that? He didn't interrupt Rubio when he said that no Cruz Were any nominated appointed in the election year or is that just there were 80 years 80 years of not confirming for example LBJ nominated Abe Fortas Fortas did not get- now I think Cruz was really thrown by this I don't think he expected this question

26:16 I think he, if I were to crackpot theory if it was a script what is this guy doing interrupting the script everything was going perfectly you could see his face even just going what? confirmed he was defeated not sure that. I'll tell you why I don't think you may be wrong let me finish and then I want to hear your... No, Kennedy was confirmed at 87. He was appointed...he's been appointed in 88. That's the question is it appointing or confirming? In this case it's both but if I could answer your question- Sorry sorry just wanted to get the facts straight for the audience This is that was very weird this- It's the difference between 87 and 88 need to get the facts straight for the audience okay? I apologize That by the way I think was Kasich who was doing that that laugh that cackle

27:07 That was weird. Let me listen again, yeah. Justice Scalia was a legal giant he he was somebody that I knew for 20 years what? I said that sounds like you went and dropped right back to the script Yeah oh yeah this is so be- He has it it's been laid up and now we just hammer at home! He was a brilliant man he was faithful to the constitution he changed the arc of American legal history. And I'll tell you his passing tonight, our prayers are with his family with his wife Maureen who he adored is nine children as 36 grandkids but it underscores the stakes of this election we are one justice away from a Supreme Court that will strike down every restriction on abortion adopted by the states

27:57 We are one justice away from a Supreme Court that will reverse the Heller decision, one of Justice Scalia's seminal decisions that upheld the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. We are justice away from a Supreme Court that would undermine the religious liberty of millions of Americans." Now Rubio could have easily said all this. Easily, he tried to say it but he came up with different cases. At least everyone knows what Heller is about, it's about the second amendment. Rubio had things going on and I don't know what he was talking about and here's Cruz hammering at home. And the stakes of this election for this year for the Senate? The Senate needs to stand strong and say we're not gonna give up the US Supreme Court by allowing Barack Obama to make one more liberal appointee

28:44 For the state of South Carolina, one of the most important judgments for the men and women in South Carolina to make is who on this stage has a background, the principle, the character, the judgment and and confirm principled constitutionalists to the court, that will be what I will do if i'm elected president. Shameless! Shameless, I tell you! Yeah, we'll do it but he said the same thing yeah but he said I am the guy It was a setup Well this sounds to me like we're going deal with only crackpot theories Not only...but this is one No, I think only's a good idea Why? I think there's been a backroom deal and Rubio has been pulled off the campaign. Yeah, I agree with you. I think that the money shifted and he set up Cruz whether they killed Scalia or not that was a setup The same script! The same 80 years Anybody kill Scalia would have been Rance Pribis

29:41 That guy. He's creepy, man. Creepy the casick. Why was he laughing? Why was he laughing? He probably like oh my God! He set him up. He knew what was going on. Oh my god it's a script! And this is another one... Here is the only debate clip I have and the reason I have it because it shows a couple of things and Trump already busted this out in the last debate. This audience was rigged Oh yeah. It was a bunch of donors that Raspi just put in place... I have the actual news report, but not a clip unfortunately They were supposed to have a lottery for the tickets, I think there were 1600 tickets They pulled the lottery and they were only handed out to people You could not get a ticket unless you were connected Yeah

30:27 Yes, Rance Prevost's chill audience because they're sick of Trump. They're finally fed up because it's coming down there was a couple of political science professors on different shows and they were pointing out that we will know the nominee of both parties in six weeks And what is it? Why does that date of import well, that's because that's gonna be after Super Tuesday That's what's really gonna cause the in March There's gonna be and there's going to be some wrangling right after those those primaries. It's gonna Be the numbers are gonna come out The super delegates are already all in for Hillary and if you want to hear something very funny I would like you I have it I have it Debbie Schultz You did your here this yeah, of course up. I'll play your version of the clip of course I heard this This was beautiful set it up

31:14 This is a... Harry Schultz was on Debbie. Good old Debbie. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. Debbie Cakes-Schultz was on Jake Tapper Show, yeah And she, he asked a decent question and her explanation for why the superdelegates are all in. Why they exist? What is it that's fixed? And he premises it with you know everyone thinks that this is gonna look like its rigged It's rigged for Hillary well what do you tell people? Well it's even more interesting because I know this clip is coming but you need to learn a new word Because she does something very very sly She doesn't use the word superdelegate

31:59 She uses the word unpledged delegate, which is a synonym. It's the same thing but it sounds a little more friendly when you're in this situation. Yeah that was very good yes good observation Superdelegates, these party insiders. What do you tell voters who are new to the process? Who says this makes them feel like it's all rigged Well let me just make sure that I can clarify exactly what was available This is...I loved how she starts She so flummoxed But let me just clarify how this- I can say this to be clear and uh During the- And by the way The answer is self contradictory Yeah oh yeah! I'll just let her play

32:39 During the primaries in Iowa and in New Hampshire, the unpledged delegates are a separate category. The only thing available on the ballot in a primary and caucus is the pledged delegates those that are tied to the candidate they are pledged to support and they receive a proportional number of delegates going into our convention Unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don't have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists. We are, as the Democratic Party, really highlight and emphasize inclusiveness and diversity at our convention so we want

33:21 every opportunity to grassroots activists and diverse committed Democrats to be able to participate, attend and be a delegate at the convention. And so we separate out those unpledged delegates to make sure that there isn't competition between them." I'm not sure that answer would satisfy an anxious young voter but let's move on. So can you explain what the hell she just said because it was very confusing? She said initially, at the beginning of the little argument and you can replay it again. And it might be worth playing again. She said we have these unpledged delegates to make sure that in case something goes wrong

34:05 And we get some bozo who's a grassroots person, we need protection against them. That's what she said! We need to protect ourselves against these crazy people that come out of the woodwork and they could get in so it's like this cushion, something that helps us maintain stability, and then somehow... I don't know what the transition is. Somehow she twists it to say the reason that they exist is so these crackpot grassroots people have a voice! Yeah, yeah this is great That's a nice way to turn it around. I don't know how she managed it, but she did somehow. She did it very smoothly! But it was so nervous and in such a short time frame that it became apparent that she was just full of crap. This is Hillary. The election is rigged.

34:56 It is rigged. And it's gonna be, if this can be one of the Democrats have done this before and what's going to happen is they... That was actually my clip had that bit of tapper in the beginning saying that people think it's rigged Well mine says it Oh I couldn't hear a little muffled, didn't hear it okay but yes So it's rigged and this is what happened in 68. We had the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and there were riots. And those riots broke out head cracking and the whole thing if anybody was still a Democrat after they witnessed this

35:34 and didn't go to the Republican Party or someplace else that's safer. They were idiots, and this is what's gonna happen again because Bernie has got momentum he's kicking Hillary's ass every which way everybody is coming out against her except for the establishment people they're all in it's just something to watch And right at the same time which is going severely underreported because of Scalia's death The DNC, Democratic National Committee has decided to drop the ban on lobbyist and super PAC money. Which was what President Obama stopped he said we're going to change politics We're not gonna have this big money in anymore and oops! They dropped it. So I guess you got money will take it that's right

36:22 That's right. Which brings us to a couple of clips from the two debates that were between, which is only a couple days... I know! It was three days and we've got two debates to talk about. Luckily didn't get a lot of clips but let's start with Do you want to do that Republican thing? You had the one clip from Republican or you want to save that well, the one clip Yeah, since we're talking about the Republican thing. The one this is the one thing that I thought was epitomized The debate it was a back-and-forth between Cruz and Trump yelling at each other now And with getting nowhere and trump being roundly booed during the whole thing and

36:58 And he got a couple shots and trumped it, but I think he was beaten down by the... Everyone's picking on him. The audience hated him because they were brought in to hate him and you know, he took it like a man. And there's a lot of... Now, I haven't done the analysis myself and I'm not sure it's true but there's a couple people out there who've done digital analysis and say You know, the boos were loud. Louder for Trump. Loud for Trump. Any applause from him was like 10 dog biscuits lower and it seemed like it was canned applause that was coming out and I don't know if thats true but could be. Could be. This is it. Right now today as a candidate he supports federal taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood I disagree with him on that, that's a matter of principle and i'll tell you- You are the single biggest liar! You probably are worse than Jeb Bush! You're the single biggest liar! Alright... This guy lied let me just say this guy lied about Ben Carson when he took votes away from Ben Carson in Iowa And he just continues

38:00 And today, we had robocalls saying Donald Trump is not going to run in South Carolina where I'm leading by a lot. Vote for Ted Cruz! This is the same thing he did to Ben Carson. This guy will say anything. Nasty guy... Now I know why he doesn't have one endorsement from any of his colleagues. He's a nasty guy. I will say it is fairly remarkable to see Donald defending Ben after he called him pathological and compared him to a child molester, both of which were offensive and wrong. But let me say more broadly... You notice Donald didn't disagree with the substance that he supports taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood? And Donald has this weird pattern

38:46 When you point to his own record, he screams liar, liar, liar. If you want to go and watch... Where did I support it? Where did I support it? Hey Ted! Hey Ted! You can see it out of Donald's own mouth when we were battling... Where did I support it? That is a lot of nonsense. Well what does do wonderful things but not as it relates to abortion. They do something. Excuse me That was pretty good.

39:43 I liked it where Trump said, hey you know. I grew up and older now and learned. I've changed my ideas a bit. He also was asked about profanity Did you I got that yeah the profanity thing because he's been cussing a lot. There's no have you played? Yeah, I had the end I think it was and they're now their point think of the children Listen to this. They're all talk there's no action and that's why people are supporting me. listen to people. I hire experts, I hire top-top people and I do listen and you know what sometimes they're wrong you have to know what to do when to do it but sometimes they're wrong something in talking to voters that they wish somebody would tell you to cut it out is the profanity What's your reaction?

40:39 Over the years, I've made many speeches. People have asked me big companies have asked me to make speeches and friends of mine that run big companies on success and on occasion in order to sort of really highlight something i use a profanity one of the profanities that I got accredited with using but I didn't use was a very bad word two weeks ago that I never used You and everybody said oh, he didn't say anything wrong But you bleeped it that was interesting that was another one of his little Insights into what's going on in the media? I didn't really know. That's a good one I wonder who was it that bleeped it. I think it was CBS and he even pointed, you know as he was motioning like CBS did that so he did...I wouldn't be surprised we've said as we did the three by three who's backing who and CBS is not backing the Republicans no no definitely not backing Trump so this thing would be slanted away from him then they would be my and they would be the one CBS would be the ones that were sweetening the sound of the audience That's really not cool! And that is really really not cool

41:45 to do that. So what he said is I said... CBS has done this historically, really? There was a moment in time during the 60 minute era when Hewitt was running it and it was really hot show and it's always good show where they showed with somebody else I can't remember, this is during the Reagan administration. And they had some guy dogging somebody's interview and then they showed the unedited version versus the edited version that ran on the show and it was like... The meanings in everything had changed drastically of what they put on the show and how it was done. Yeah, pull out a context. You could do that! That's why a lot people demand unedited... We don't do that! We won't let people just yak-and-yak

42:28 And but this was just him on stage and he took the equivalent of F U, but even the f was silent. They just bleeped it so it sounded like you said the full word that's crazy man Yeah This reminds us to Jimmy Kimmel bit she exactly yeah Whenever he does it just bleeps a whole bunch of things and always sounds dirty something that ends with a hard K Yeah, sounds like the guy said, you know, and it's so in Kimmel's It's called this weekend unneeded censorship or something. But it's very, it's on Thursday nights I believe right after a show and it is phenomenal sometimes it's like holy crap! It sounds just like the you know describing you know some sexual act by the judicious bleeping Just on a quick aside I found something else that relates to the previous debate You recall that Trump was talking about eminent domain, eminent domain, eminent domain... Why are they talking about eminent domain?

43:23 And this is when he was in Iowa. The reason why there's a huge eminent domain dispute in Iowa right now for an 1100 mile crude pipe oil pipeline from It's another pipeline. It's not the keystone, obviously. Tens of thousands of pipelines? Right! So he was pandering quote-unquote to a certain demographic in Iowa because eminent domain... there are like 300 Iowa landowners who didn't want this. The end of his speech was very... Yeah yeah so this is you know the whole eminent domain thing it was local to Iowa that's why it came up

44:04 Okay. Yeah, who knew? Well they were seemingly against it and I think you got more votes with that approach but i guess not. So let's switch over to the Democrats okay and so last night was a was an event Well, last night was the Republican. Two nights ago there's an event and the best part of it was this bit here This is the Dem debate clip with back-and-forth about Henry Kissinger Where the secretary and I have a very profound difference in the last debate And I believe in her book very good book by the way In her book and in this last debate she talked about getting the approval or the support for the mentoring of Henry Kissinger

44:50 Now I find it rather amazing, because I happen to believe that Henry Kissinger was one of the most destructive secretaries of state in the modern history of this country. I am proud to say that Henry Kissinger is not my friend! I will not take advice from Henry Kissinger and in fact Kissinger's actions in Cambodia When the United States bombed that country overthrew Prince Sina created the instability For Paul Pot and the Khmer Rouge to come in who then I love the Khmer Rouge

45:28 About Mary Rouge come a rouge Over through Prince, you know created the instability for Paul pot and the common rouge to come in Then butchered some three million innocent people one of the worst genocides in the history of the world So count me in as somebody who will not be listening to Henry Kissinger Well, I know journalists have asked who you do listen to on foreign policy and we've yet to know who that is.

46:09 So on Democracy Now, which is clearly pro-Bernie and not on board with Hillary. They kept bringing these people that were giving these analyses that were absolutely fantastic and they did one with this guy who did the analysis of the Henry Kissinger bit including the notion that Henry Kissinger is the one who kind of really was the proponent of regime change and then pointed out that this is pretty much everything that Hillary's all about. Yeah, he's the architect of it...of the whole concept And let's see what we got here Let's play I don't know but I have a couple of clips from Democracy Now! But let's play the Democracy Now

46:51 party report on Bernie Sanders. Professor Matt Karp, you say that the Democratic Party lead has thrown its full weight behind Hillary Clinton How is this reflected in superdelegates and do you think how do you see this as any different than when Barack Obama first announced he was running for president started the primary caucus process? Well, I think it's very different. If you sort of zoom out and look at how the Sanders campaign compares to previous insurgent Democratic campaigns in recent memory, there are three ways that it really diverges. First, Sanders is ideologically significantly to the left of Clinton and of, in some ways, the mainstream of the elected Democratic Party—at least not just one tick but his rejection of this new Democrat

47:39 approach, business-friendly economics and an embrace of a kind of older populism is really a distinct break. And something that we haven't seen from another candidate in this position since probably Jesse Jackson. Who he worked with! Exactly. Sanders has won a lot more popular support than a lot of sort of underdog candidates at this point. If you're thinking about his historic donor base, which has three times the number people that Obama donors that Obama had recorded up until this point and he's done better in the early states then Obama even had done and in the national polls he has 37% of the vote which is higher then Obama. Of course Obama was running against John Edwards too but

48:20 Sanders has done really well. And the third thing then is the sort of total absence of support from the party, which is not at all comparable to Obama or any previous sort of underdog candidate at this point. I mean you mentioned over 350 superdelegates who committed to Clinton when The Associated Press did a survey of superdelegates in November they found eight superdelegates who were committed to Sanders and of those fully one-eighth were Bernie Sanders. You know, as a senator he is the superdelegate so 13% of his superdelegate coalition is himself and this is really striking I mean very Obama had over 60 superdelegates at this point in his camp Bill Richardson had 25 superdelegates in his camp at this point So those three factors and candidate who comes ideologically makes an ideological break with the party

49:10 has done really well, sort of from the bottom up in terms of winning popular support and has virtually zero backing within the party create a situation that I think is going to put this system to test in a way that 2008 campaign didn't necessarily do. Well since they're all-in on Bernie maybe I should play quick little clip from Susan Sarandon You've been a vocal Bernie supporter and you've gone on the campaign trail with Bernie during Iowa. He has balls, believe me! Yeah he does, he has balls. I was so moved by the people in Iowa that want to be...to reinvest in this country and really want to believe and he has really concrete very simple FDR kind of plans that are totally possible and should be done

49:56 I give you Bernie Sanders. She's crazy, man. He has balls, he has balls John, his balls. By the way it is my prediction that you would take this to the bank because of Bernie's positive response in the audience in this last debate They're gonna rig the audience. Just they take a clue from the Republicans and rig the audience, yeah. Well there's a lot of rigging going on if you have a second here but we've had some kind of smears against

50:37 Cruz and smears against Clinton. And the one that I think is right now is cool to listen to, there's this video that's being sent around and it's very easy to trace where this is coming from as obviously being propagated the formula about...and I think you'll like this...you know the statement that Hillary Clinton made saying I have never changed my vote based upon a donation And so now there's this eight minute video, I cut it down to about a minute 15 of the pertinent part. It's an interview from 2004 with...I have to say kind of good looking Elizabeth Warren. I don't know what happened man damn 12 years! She had a kind of round you know cute face and kind of like 60s hairdo looks really good

51:20 And this was, I think with the guy from Face The Nation or something. This interview and here's what she said and this is supposed to serve as proof that she did change her...that money did change her vote. President Clinton had been showing that this was another way he could be helpful to business it wasn't a very high visibility bill. This is about the first Consumer Protection Act Right, this is when she was on the quote-unquote war path. Yes. On consumer protection something she's done nothing about. And when Mrs. Clinton came back with a little better understanding of how it all worked

52:04 They reversed course and they reversed course fast. Now, what you didn't hear is this whole long story of how Hillary said come and meet me. They met after some event that they had hamburgers together in a room alone and she's...and Elizabeth Warren said, You know this is really bad. You've got..you don't understand what's going on. You've got to stop. You have to stop this bill we have to I'm sorry you have to pass this bill We have to get this through people need protection so And then Hillary went okay that's really good! Indeed the proof is in the pudding The last bill that came before President Clinton was that bankruptcy bill, that was passed by the House and Senate in 2000. And he vetoed it! And in her autobiography Mrs. Clinton took credit for that veto and she rightly should. She turned around a whole administration on the subject of bankruptcy. She got it.

52:57 One of the first bills that came up after she was Senator Clinton, was the bankruptcy bill. This is a bill that's like a vampire it will not die right if there's a lot of money behind it and her husband had vetoed very much at her urging and she voted in favor of it okay so that's out there Not as imaginative though, as the anti-Cruz campaign which I caught... The first clip I caught on the Morning Joe show. It's an ad from the Cruz campaign hitting Marco Rubio on immigration. I voted for a guy who was a Tea Party hero in the campaign trail and then he went to DC and played patty cake with Chuck Schumer and cut a deal on amnesty. Does that make you angry? Angry? Makes me feel dumb for trusting him Maybe you should vote more than just a pretty face next time

53:50 Alright, so apparently there was a problem there. It was revealed that the woman who delivered the key line that we just saw Former porn star Okay did you hear about this story? Yeah! Okay yeah former porn star... Former porn they fired her Former porn star Which is hypocritical Who care- You know But wait but wait Wait Because when I hear pornstar I think to the Googles Who is this pornstar what movies are she in What has she done Is she a 3 input I need to know what's going on with this pornstar Luckily Jake Tapper to the rescue. Also had roles in some steamy, dare I say erotic films? Films with titles such as Carnal Wishes Insatiable Desires and of course the classic Time Gate Tales of The Saddle Tramps though to be fair to Miss Lindsey Classic Well wait for it listen to what he's saying

54:38 Though to be fair, she is a working actress. She's also been on Star Trek Voyager and joining me now is Amy Lindsay the actress at the center of all this brouhaha. Amy thanks so much for joining us. The Cruise Campaign says that they cast the ad in an open casting call and they say you were not properly vetted How did you get involved? Was this just a gig or were you a cruise supporter It was a gig, but I absolutely when I got the idea of what the campaign was going to be about. I knew that it was supporting a Republican candidate which is definitely what i'm doing and I thought the writing was smart. I thought it was snappy. I did not know who it was for um but I do identify myself as a conservative republican so I knew it was something that I could get behind and support

55:26 Now, also to be fair I mean this wasn't like ex- you have not been as far as i know in any like truly explicit explicit films. This is more kind of late night Cinemax kind of stuff It's just she's...this is... This is like Red Shoe Diaries! It's like Red Shoe Diaries She's barely even naked in these things Yeah all you see is breasts PORN STAR! PORN STAR! PORN STAR! Nooo....noo Not a porn star Well this just lies, maybe it lies But you know, it's out there now. You can't take that back she is a porn star That's good to go And that's obviously a smear against the crews Yeah exactly Good one though and then what makes it worse they fire her It's so stupid

56:10 And she's and she's no dummy. That's the question, they fired her from what? It wasn't just a one-shot commercial there was gonna be a string of them I guess but...I'm not sure. I think they're firing things a lie too Yeah, I think they just pulled the ad there's no firing it's just that yeah They pull the ad She did this thing months ago She did the ad months ago. She didn't even know who is for but interestingly she's cute. She's very well spoken She's a Republican. She's very conservative and she looks forward to talking about her views During the election. I'm sure Jake Tapper is gonna have her back on that guy was sporting wood throughout the whole interview You gotta see it in the show notes creep

56:51 Hey, I saw that one movie. It's really good. I checked all these films out. I did some research. They weren't that bad? No! They're just late night Cinemaxx. Isn't no big problem. You ever think of doing more? Yeah. I know been looking for a kind of semi unknown for my next feature I don't know if you're available. Let's get back to the blasting of Hillary with this segment again on democracy now, Hillary and the professor. Okay... Now wait let me set it up there's this guy that apparently the black caucus PAC which is not the Black Caucus of Congress which is all the black people who are in congress but the black caucus PAC which is a separate independent operation

57:42 Made of the announcement that they're supporting Hillary and then they made a big as though it was the black caucus in a couple people In the black caucus including some Democrats Supporting her. What is this? What are you misleading in the public for but they were misleading the publisher They had a spokeshole for the operation on there again He's a big Hilary Black Black guy for Hillary, and he was a obvious like oh establishment guy. Oh totally yeah he's going on and on so they cut from him to this professor who just reads them the riot act about Hillary. Of the State Department under Hillary Clinton and under President Barack Obama which is a huge change from what it was

58:20 previously. Does that represent change? I'll tell you who she sat down with, I would encourage viewers to go back to the New York Times a couple of weeks ago when they unveiled what many of us knew which was the secret deal of Saudi Arabia and the CIA to fund the destabilization of Syria. That's who Hillary Clinton sat down with, with the CIA and with Saudi Arabia and the bloodbath that we have underway right now is irresponsible. Wow! And it's the same kind... Sir, go talk to NATO?

58:56 And it's the same kind of irresponsibility of going in to take out Gaddafi and then leaving a civil war and ISIS in Libya. It is the same irresponsibility of going into take out Saddam Hussein, this is repeated military industrial complex CIA led coup change and its bipartisan by the way from the truth. I want to go back that is land of unconfirmed evidence we came, saw he died. Lady Big Death. And there you have it. Yeah, wow so that was the professor who was in the studio? Yeah! He was great Oh he went on his thing about... he also did a thing about the Kissinger and I don't have it but pretty much accused Hillary Clinton of being responsible for the despair in Syria

59:48 Yeah, that's great. And was there steam coming out of Amy Goodman ahead or no? No, she loves all in love this. She loved it yeah I got she like she even back will cut the other guys off she is all for Bernie because Bernie is a true progressive and she has to now the guy also went into a couple different rants It was really quite a good show people should check out. He was from last Thursday probably and he just said at one point All this so-called experience that Hillary claims to have is all based on her being told what to do by Kissinger. Yeah, which she admitted freely! Yeah. They should've thrown Soros in there just for good measure. Soros did come up in the...

1:00:37 One of the, I didn't clip it but i don't think. Soros came up as there's two people that are supporting Hillary Soros and some other guy and I can remember his name but in some day doesn't crop up a lot and they're responsible for one of these 15 million or fifteen I don't know, it was more than 15 million. It's quite a bit of money, super PAC and Soros and this other guy." And this was brought up in the debate and Bernie just said there is good example right there. I mean, I don't have any super PACs and I don't want one. And she also meant...then he said that way, I got to reiterate this because they dawned on me when he said it. He says then I've got 3 million people that are giving us money and Hillary jumps in and

1:01:21 You know, and goes I have 750 thousand people who are giving us money. And now I realize that three times a day solicitation that I get from their campaign for chipping in one dollar. Chipping in a dollar? You put the dollar in and now cha-ching you're on that list so she gets to 750 which is not...you know she's got 750 thousand people that gave her a dollar but she should be saving. A dollar! Give me a dollar for the thought. Give me a dollar. It's constant hounding for the dollar. Then you get to be put on the list, another donor! There is something on the horizon... Do you remember the DC Madam? Oh yeah. The DC madam. She was very famous. Yeah she was the madam and she served a lot of politicians and high-ranking officials And they never did get her black book did they? Well, her lawyer Blair Sibley who represented the DC Madam

1:02:20 He is now, he has filed a court case because he cannot talk about the case but he feels that it is now time. It is permissible and it is needed to release records that the court holds and that he has knowledge of. And his quote in the media is... The names in her records could be relevant to this presidential election. What? I could be fine with them. What does that? What do you interpret that to mean there's only 23 it won't have Trump's name in it all one half trumps name and cruises knew he came after she, uh, I believe he hit him and Rubio, I believe came after the scam DC madam. I'm pretty sure so they won't be in it.

1:03:13 K6 is not in Washington DC so he wouldn't be in it. The two people that might apply to are Bernie Sanders and more importantly Hillary Clinton That would be, my guess is it's about Hillary. It seems though that even though the Democratic... Let's put it this way Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Debbie She is the one that is promoting the presidential win for Hillary. Yeah. She wants to... It's almost her job! It's her job but somebody has decided that Hillary will be the establishment candidate so the corrupt candidate

1:03:56 There's like you said when you were visiting the area a few years ago They're not gonna know the real powers, the real powers. The intelligence community, the insiders... Yeah they do not like her Secret Service, Intelligence Community, No. The bureaucrats, the people that are there already and they don't like her And there is all these stories now about her and Huma Abedin The Huma, this was more about the Secret Service and how they're complaining about how much they hate Hillary and her personal aide. Her body man as it's known, Uma Abedin. And now the story circulating that there was some event and she had to get in...and of course she was Hillary's whatever

1:04:43 uh, special assistant. She didn't have her credentials and they said no you know you can't get in you know you don't have the right credentials and of course her response was do you know who I am? I find these stories hard to believe oh i don't but i don't find it hard to believe at all okay i guess here well i've heard people say that millions of times yeah i know people that said it yeah total douchey and of course now Debbie Wasserman Schultz is fighting Bill Clinton Because he's not very helpful. Clint is his own man, you have to agree at this point he is near death Yes sadly And it's right on schedule John It seems like he's in zone and likes to go infront of audiences and yack forever He likes to talk, he has the gift of gab He likes to say stuff like this She always making something good happen she's the best change maker I've ever known

1:05:43 A lot of people say, oh well you don't understand. It's different now it's rigged yeah it's rigged because you don't have a president who is the change maker. He said he referring to Obama? Yes! You don't have a president. This was his recent speech? Yeah this earlier than the week. Oh rein this guy in That's kind of problematic isn't it? Holy crap I have to revert back I mean if Bill would die I just hate to say This would change so much. Well, if Rance can do the job on the other side... Yeah! If you can do it with Scalia- You better get her shiv out All you have to do is just go up to Bill and see what happens Tickle him And I liked the guy but this is almost cruel To have him speaking in public in this state He's like a mafia Don

1:06:39 That is somewhat likable in the public face even though he's behind the scenes, He's not a guy you want to hang out with. And we all know he's been shot a couple times You know it was like yeah He's wounded but still he's The Don But he's not following the script and maybe We should analyze what he's saying more closely Maybe he's crying out for help Subconsciously I gotta listen to more of what... Because he sounds so bad John It doesn't sound good He's really straining He looks like crap, but people are now making gifs of him. Animated GIFs of him just going... staring into space It's really so sad! It's cruel! It's cruel! Well you can't kill a healthy man I don't think Scalia was unhealthy

1:07:29 Yeah, but he was 79 so you can get... even though that's actually not that old for a... That's not old at all. I mean look at the David Rockefeller! The guy is 99 or something. Let's just assume that Scalia was killed And that Clinton's on somebody hit list, it's gonna happen. Well we've already said this I mean two or three years ago we predicted this. Yes! But uh...I didn't know he was saying screwball stuff that is not party line. Yeah he isn't saying good things at all. That's not good. At all? For him. No

1:08:06 Also, one of our producers called Alex Ross on NPR. Do you remember Alex Ross? He was the like Silicon Valley whiz kid who was Hillary's Chief Information guy. The tech... He was a hotshot. Yeah big hot shot. Wunderkind! Exactly exactly So he was asked because of course he was in charge of all things digital interactive when Hitler was at the State Department He was the leader of all internets, the techno experts etc. And of course he's asked a very pertinent question. Being known as Secretary Clinton's tech guru raises the question... I'm sorry, Tech Guru! I should have gotten it right there. Tech Guru! Being known as Secretary Clinton's tech guru raises the question in many people's minds What about that server? Yeah that wasn't me That was the other guy.

1:09:03 No, in all seriousness you know what's funny is? It's not funny. Most of us had no idea it was a private email server. You know lots of powerful people have sort of obscured email addresses like Barack Obama is not I'll give you a hint his email address is not barack period obama at whitehouse dot gov and so maybe I'm an idiot and many my colleagues and I were idiots but we didn't necessarily know that it was a personal server of hers And my focus when I was traveling around the world was less on, you know putting servers in people's basements or doing sort of the internal IT than it was figuring out how we could address nasty national security problems using these technologies. So he throws his own buddies under the bus there kind of? I'd say... Eh, who is the other guy? Dude named Ben! That's right, we'll get a dude named Ben and hang him up at some point in the future

1:10:00 Um, okay. They will do it now was he saying that no, was he saying that the president's email address is something that maybe there's like a, like AOL.com or hotmail because as you know, it would maybe be POTUS 44 at Hotmail. It'd be some corny. That's for sure. Yeah. And then to say, well I guess we're just idiots. But yeah, if you, I mean, do not see the email address ever? I mean, this is the tech guru? Oh! I didn't know. Okay... Yeah that's a good point. Yeah, I was in charge of that. Then you just looked at it and descended like it didn't say B dot Obama or whatever. Yeah huh mm-hmm thought the guy had some clue No well he may but he's not talking

1:10:55 Any more on these debates which are becoming very annoying to me? Yeah, well they're annoying to everybody I'm sure and i don't think the recent booing of Trump is going to have much of an effect because especially you had that debate. I believe it was up against a slam dunk competition for the all-star game at the NBA And its...you know..and im not gonna say anything racial but since I watched it. But, I think any black person in South Carolina if they had a choice between watching some basketball quality basketball slam dunks and to the whites too... Well let's see we have for last night's Republican debate looks like a 9.3 household rating on the overnight that is going to be i'm gonna say 13-14 million people

1:11:51 Now it's on CBS, so at least it wasn't a cable station. And they had real ads unlike the...on CNN and other cable news channels man there was boom-boom-boom big ads! They went big you know? You remember Les Moonves is really happy about this and we had that from his little conference call with the investors how happy oh please call each other names better for us and they pre sold this big they made a lot of money last night Well, I don't know who I'd be. How do you know how many people in South Carolina? Watched it which i think is the okay what you want mm-hmm but okay well we will oh A couple more things hold on where's only 20 more of these debates so long as best We can damn I left my notes in the living room that I needed to just ask you What your feeling was from a production standpoint and

1:12:47 We had two things that I noticed. Who was the woman who got to ask questions with the long face on CBS? Yeah, she's like she was she got to ask a couple questions. She had the worst lip smack in the world. Oh yes. Mr Trump and whoever designed this set and thought that was a good background color should be fired orange well it began You think about it. Yeah, make Trump bleed away into the background with his orange head! Yeah so orange head and orange hair. Orange is not a peaceful color. We had a guy one time when I was at Tech TV doing Silicon Spin we had this bull for years couple of years

1:13:40 We had this boring blue set that I kept bitching about. Blue as in chroma key blue or just blue? No, no it was like a baby blue, it was pale blue and we were keyed on green. So they...it was this baby blue and it was stupid! And it just looked...it was worse than PBS when in its worst era of News Hour with that blue And I kept complaining about it. Can't we change the set? Can't we do something and i was pushing for what I still like the most which is that what's called The Abyss, which is using a black neutral this cloth as felt that you surround the set with and that's what Charlie Rose uses so there's no set yeah it's just like infinity It's called An Abyss

1:14:27 Thing to take pictures against and everything is there's nothing there. You don't did the camera just can't pick it up, and I was told that music Magicians especially ones in Las Vegas use this stuff for all their their slightly extreme yes light of hands you can see it It's like it's invisible so with the guy that was the production manager of the whole operation He got sick at listening to me complain he saw okay We're gonna fix the set so he himself came in one weekend and painted the set orange. He was pissed at you, like I'll get that guy. Could be! So I come in and go what is this? And so we had one... So within a couple of days of this orange and red set we had some redhead woman come in and I swear to God she looked bald on the set. Excellent.

We hit people in the mouth Hey citizen Shut Up Slave

1:37:11 Shut up, slave! And on this Valentine's Day weekend, police in Iran have declared a crackdown. They say retailers who run Valentine's promotions will be charged with promoting decadent Western culture. In particular that means no special events at coffee or ice cream shops where young lovers might exchange gifts. Aww! Daz bastards!

1:37:58 Bastards indeed. I'm in agreement with it, it's a fake boney maloney holiday but its just a tradition, its ritual you can't kick to the curb. No of course. The hallmark would be out of business! Yes correct And they do good work We sell a little piece of paper for two bucks, you know? And with an envelope that fits. What are you gonna do?" We had a lot happening in Geneva and we already heard that there was a ceasefire probably planned for March 1st but this seems to be... There seems to be a lot of confusion about exactly what is going on and what is happening and who's in charge. I have here

1:38:42 There was also Assad, Bashir al-Assad did an interview. Let me see first I have the Saudi foreign minister so everyone's over out there in Geneva and besides you know the talks which are kind of they're not there they're in hotels and everyone is doing interviews And the foreign minister of Saudi Arabia who was a very well spoken English speaker He's quite clear what their stance is towards Saudi Arabia at the moment. And we know Saudi Arabia has clearly communicated they are ready to invade Syria, put boots on the ground. In Syria we are working to bring about change political change if possible To what is happening in Syria in order to remove a man who was responsible for the murder of 300 thousand people The displacement of 12 million

1:39:37 and the destruction of a nation. A man who was the single most effective magnet for extremists and terrorists in the region." Kerry? That's what you think, it would be Noodleman, Kagan, Kerry... no he is talking about Assad. Assad gave an interview to AFP, Agent France Presse And he made it even more confusing. We have fully believed in negotiations and in political action since the beginning of this crisis, however if we negotiate it does not mean that we stop fighting terrorism The two tracks are inevitable in Syria first through negotiations and second through fighting terrorism

1:40:21 Okay, that is something that is not being highlighted very much. But this deal, this apparent ceasefire is just a ceasefire for what the Russians may be doing but it is not by any means a cease fire against terrorism and of course we know a lot of these terrorist groups are the opposition that the United States has been supplying with weapons and I'm sure funding, etc. Those are our guys so what they're saying is yeah we're willing to stop fighting but we're not going to stop fighting terrorism which is kind of the same thing the fighting would just continue it seems like a lot of you know set dressing

1:40:59 So Kerry gave his opinion a little stand-up speech. The vast majority in our opinion of Russia's attacks have been against legitimate opposition groups and to adhere to the agreement that has been made we think it is critical that Russia's targeting change and the entire ISSG including Russia has agreed to work to make that happen Hmm this needed a Response from Foreign Minister Lavrov of Russia? Simply saying without any foundation for five months that we are doing something wrong and refusing strongly to sit down using maps and look at facts is not an approach. It is propaganda. Propaganda was popular in Soviet times, in our country right now We have abandoned this

1:41:56 practice, but it seems that a lot of manifestations of such trends are still present in mass media and other countries. I believe this is British media that took an interview from Ben Kim Moon and published this interview with unscrupulous perversions of what he said He never mentioned Russia. He just called for the end of any actions that lead to sufferings of civilians, the interviewer allowed himself to put into the mouth of the UN Secretary General these statements that he was saying all those things about Russia so yes they are lies." Okay obviously Lavrov was speaking in Russian and that's why there is a translation what happened?

1:42:43 is the Financial Times, London's Financial Times did an interview with Ban Ki-moon where he was talking about all kinds of situations. Things that need to be... certain parties needed to do certain things but he did not say that he was speaking about Russia and they published it saying he was clearly talking about Russia And so it was this big blow up and for FT to do that, that was I'd say propagandistic. And that's what... That was also douchebaggish. Very douche baggy and you know Bunky Moon had to come out and say something about it. This is a thing in order from our State Department Well that's what he said! He said yeah this it's crazy to accuse us of being propagandists when look who's doing the very same thing

1:43:25 And then we had a little statement from Lavrov, which was in English because he's really just laying down the line now. My point is you should not demonize Assad You shouldn't demonize anyone except terrorists in Syria and the humanitarian issues must be resolved through cooperation Mind you to say unless all humanitarian problems are over unless Violence stops completely. We're not going to negotiate is a road to nowhere It's a blunt provocation Like it is a road to know where the road to know where maybe think I thought maybe I said that I saw you've confused me, I was perfectly in time Here we go. Oh, I saw what here here we go

1:44:18 Is a road to nowhere. It's a blunt provocation is a road to nowhere. It's a blunt provocation Anyway back to MTV roots yeah, so it is a road to nowhere Yeah. Nothing is going to happen, it is going to be some set dressing of some kind... That's why they keep trying to pull these stunts! A lot of it has to do with the State Department being completely out-of-control and that Kirby guy just gotta go, that guy. Did you get anything from Kirby? He used to be a four star admiral but he has all the earmarks like a Navy captain, those guys who run ships I've talked about this before. And uh... Did you get anything on him? Very arrogant. You got anything on him? Anything good?

1:45:05 On what? Kirby? From Kirby, yeah. Any clips? No I don't. Oh. Kirby's always kinda cool. Uh... Let's see.... I gotta- you wanna change the topic a little bit? Okay! We'll actually no, since we're on propaganda let's change the topic in this direction. Let's play the North Korean rocket This is a report off of CBS and they talk about demonizing and propaganda This whole rocket thing from North Korea has been just completely bogus It's all bullshit They say they launched a satellite That's what they said Yeah Supposedly according to us it's flipping around like... It took a picture of the Superbowl It went over the superbowl there was a picture from them then okay fine, whatever

1:45:51 So play North Korean Rocket One and listen to the propaganda. But this is just to sell more weapons to South Korea. Military-industrial complex as confirmed by my uncle Don. Tonight, the US and Pacific allies are considering how to respond to North Korea's latest missile launch The missile reached orbit but in theory could have easily reached the United States as well Oh! In theory? The UN has buried these tests And here's David Martin The North Korean launch which was watched by its brash young leader succeeded in putting a satellite into space But US officials say it is Let's listen to the propagandistic term right there. It was watched by his by its brash Young Brash Brash yeah, well under just he uses name and he's not that young how old is he? He's not like 12 Oh

1:46:43 Okay, so let's just keep the keep to keep it running. Keep the propaganda and that turned way up rash young leader And then they have some b-roll of a guy sitting at a desk Which was watched by its brash young leaders succeeded in putting a satellite into space that is in an odd very that's propagandistic extremely Is that the end of that clip? That's the end of that clip. Then we go to the second part where they were, the guy does a little more news media all in with the State Department or whoever it is, Defense Department I'm not sure who they're pitching for just demonize this operation and considerate

1:47:23 Oh, they built a missile even though it's a satellite. They put a satellite up because no one will cooperate with them and let them look...you know, they're not sending up SpaceX satellites for you know, everyone has uses for satellites North Korea is cut out so they have to do their own missile program So the new missile program all that missile could carry a nuke because those satellite weighs about as much as a nuke And so here's the play North Korea, for some reason unknown to anyone is going to send a missile and then bomb the United States with the one bomb they've got. For what purpose? And what do they expect out of this except it'd be completely wiped off the face of the earth by our thousands and thousands of missiles? Does this make any sense to Andy? Oh no it does make sense because he's insane! He's nuts! He's the brash young leader well you know what's even crazier

1:48:19 that today is the closing date to sign up for the Pyongyang Marathon which returns April 10, 2016. And you can sign up with the DPRK tour operator URL TOURS And you can go over there and run the marathon. Everybody is eligible! Well, they're probably going to kill these people. They'll get killed. They're trying to kill us. They will get killed. Never posing a threat to the United States which had its missile defense system on alert just in case The satellite is roughly the same size as a nuclear warhead

1:48:56 Oh, coincidence! When combined with last month's underground nuclear explosion North Korea seems slowly but surely to be developing a long-range missile that could hit the US with a nuclear weapon. The US and South Korea immediately announced they would begin talks on sending a new missile defense system to the peninsula in effect adding another layer to the missile defenses already deployed to protect South Korea. Bullcrap... Yeah Alright It's your turn. Well, I had the thing about DPRK there was a couple other things we definitely need to talk about just in regards to the Caliphate Turkey is now playing hardball with Europe and it's really starting a big problem Erdogan and his cronies are saying you know

1:49:57 Yeah, if you don't pay us 3.3 billion euros we're gonna let another 50 thousand people flow into Europe Have you seen this story? Yeah and have you listened to Erdogan and the Prime Minister and the President berating Europe telling us were a-holes It's ridiculous So Orban is that... Is he the... What is it? Orban He's the prime minister Uh, well he would... No I'm sorry. Orban is Hungary, yeah. He's accused of some crazy name that I can never remember it from. So he is actually accusing Germany and Turkey of a secret pact to flood Europe with another 500 thousand quote-unquote illegals The guy from Hungary? Yeah, Orban

1:50:55 So he's worried. Meanwhile, let's say that again? He is accusing Germany and Turkey of having a secret pact to flood Europe with another half million illegals. That's the quote. That's kind of an interesting thesis because the whole thing is kinda suspicious and it was triggered by Germany. Yep! And now German Merkel is looking to form a coalition of the willing now that France has said, you know what? We're done. No more for us. You know we just can't have any more so they're backing out and this is very...this is not atypical for France and Germany to get into a little kerfuffle over something before we light it all up She's looking at a coalition of the willing who are willing to take in refugees And this has become- This is a big discussion point everywhere

1:51:50 She is meeting with this coalition of the willing in Brussels. This will be right ahead of the EU summit and let me see who does she have or who do we suspect that she has in this coalition? We have, hold on a second I think it's Sweden... Luxembourg Belgium The Netherlands Finland and am i missing anybody? I think that is what we got. Now the people in the Netherlands are already freaking out like why should we be in this? Greece also will also be in this and Austria will be in the coalition of the willing

1:52:28 This is very, I would almost say Merkel is now herself trying to break up the EU. You can't have little coalitions in there just because no one can figure out what to do with these migrants, asylum seekers... What's the coalition of the willing? They're willing to take refugees. Well didn't she just say that they're not going to take anymore? She's putting together a deal. So, whatever is going on she can't just say no more because Erdogan has come out and said oh you don't want to do that? We're gonna send you all this stuff if you wanna pay us we'll send you all these people so whatever her game is she's bringing these other smaller countries into it

1:53:13 And the Dutch are like, why do we have to be in this? We got enough people here already. We don't want these people in here. Especially the country is so small. Yeah! It's neat it's like one of those countries that has a lot of leeway... The United States is a big country that has the leeway and just ship them put them all into Arizona yeah I mean there's plenty of room and so of course George Clooney was over there having a little tea with Merkel with Amal which you know if you think George Clooney gives a crap about it you're wrong he's promoting his movie He was on a junket, a promo tour for his movie in Germany. Then Amal would never get to sit down with Merkel unless accompanied by Clooney so they're sitting down and man have you read the tabloids about her? No I mean the truth magazines no she is one at least apparently George is like sick and tired of her

1:54:03 I think we did discuss this. She's demanding her mom live with them, if they have to go... Yeah so we did talk about that. And she doesn't want to live anywhere but in the big house in London or outside of London the big castle where a mom has to be and you know Clooney is really really protective of it. He has to be in Lake Como? Well, he's thinking of selling it because there are too many ruffians walking around and you know... And this kind of... Lake Como?! Yeah! Sailing up to his... I think that he doesn't want any migrants around this place so he is thinking of selling it cause people keep trespassing and walking up and take little boats docking at his dock which of course is public property but the mayor

1:54:43 You know, has put some ordinance into effect much of the chagrin of local fishermen etc. So yeah double standard. We gotta catch up with this story Yeah so but this coalition The Willing Things is brand new I just heard about it last night And by the way This guy marries some inter... out of the blue because we would think it was arranged Marry somebody like this woman She's not in his cultural milieu No and that's hard Yes, it's like yeah. It's very hard Yeah for most people like they don't even want to marry a girl from the town one over I've had I certainly think my previous marriages There was always a cultural disconnect Even though I did grow up formative years in the Netherlands You know the first eight years and there's a lot of stuff that you have just cultural stuff That just it doesn't exist and you kind of miss it

1:55:46 It's hard. Yeah, there are a lot of cultural issues when you get carried away onward. Just staying in Euroland for one second... This is what is going on in Greece right now. The pictures are quite phenomenal to see. Protesting farmers attack riot police with shepherds crooks as an angry crowd. Which reminds me that's where Hooker Crook comes from I think Shepherd's crooks. What is a shepherd's crook? It is a long cane. Was that long cane with the hook on the end? I didn't see hooks but they were like long... They're long canes, yeah. So it says we poke sheep. That's what they are! Sheep pokers and these farmers who all rolled up on these tractors

1:56:37 And, you know they blocked off highways and they got flags flying with Greek flags. They walk right up to the riot police and just start hitting them on their shields and on their heads with these sticks! Oh yeah I saw these clips, they're fantastic! as an angry crowd tries to storm the Ministry of Agriculture. Plumes of tear gas fill the air while protesters take pot shots at office windows Many of these farmers had travelled from the island of Crete, to join a day of demonstrations that began with violence From across the country farmers converged on Athens in their thousands This group came in convoy from Corinth In the last two weeks farmers have staged at least 70 blockades on highways across the country

1:57:22 Now they're taking their anger to the capital. The country is the people, these laws are not going to help the people they're going to destroy them not only the farmers most of society On Syntagma Square in Athens close to Parliament some protesters have pitched tents They say there'll be here for several days We've come here to protest with determination and decisiveness we won't leave her until that we found justice Last year the Greek government signed an agreement with its lenders the International Monetary Fund and EU finance ministers. If it introduces a raft of deep-seated economic reforms, it would have access to a $95 billion bailout. The Greek government says the reforms are not a matter of choice they're a matter of necessity. But the reforms will mean tax hikes

1:58:05 and sharp increases in pension contributions. Changes these farmers say will make their small agricultural businesses no longer viable as evening came, the crowds increased tractors that have been stopped by police on the edges of the city were allowed into the square. It was great thousands and thousands of people in tractors running everywhere. And we need that here Well, pay attention. You get these Greek farmers pissed off man they don't care They do not care It's like the French. The French farmers are the same way Yeah they do not care And also apparently according to this story about Uber strike in London and I think it's just beginning that you know Ubers got some problems with this sort of thing In Britain thousands of taxi drivers brought downtown London to a standstill during a protest against uber on Wednesday

1:58:55 Thousands of taxi drivers shut down the city's main streets and the area around Prime Minister David Cameron's house for 90 minutes. The taxi unions say they're protesting new government regulations, they say favor Uber and compromise driver safety Wednesdays protest is a latest in a series of demonstrations against uber Taxi drivers in Paris Hong Kong Miami And other major cities have all protested the Wall Street-backed company saying uber threatens their union rights and livelihood Union rights. When will people understand this is a slave wage platform? This is what it was, you should be happy with this. This will turn when we when it hits when the big big boom hits our financial lives people will be so happy to have Uber to be driving they won't complain

1:59:45 Yeah, well nobody's complaining. We're not it now what do you mean they won't complain? Oh you mean the taxi drivers anybody knows It's not just that they have there's a lot of some There's a lot of Union You know noise against uber this was driving all of this stuff and the problem with the unions Do yeah the problem with the cab in your cab drivers is you know it's uh You know, London has a long history of something very outdated which they need to get over. It's like everybody knows exactly how to go there have the knowledge they learned for years how to drive you know the best routes what route to take and GPS kind of outdated that

2:00:26 Well, outdated that but it's still there are still shortcuts and stuff that the GPS doesn't recognize. They don't know right? But that's not saying that nobody knows by the way if you go to London and you want and you do take those cabs I don't have any objection. I mean they're expensive relatively but it's still you don't use it that much two things they got two stories one somebody did a An analysis of the time when they had horse-drawn cabs mm-hmm the analysis of going from point A to point B during that era in the 1700s, and today's cars. And the time from point A to point B is identical when it was horses. Really? Yeah because the traffic was so less. Of course traffic now is horrendous. There's no change. The other thing if you're inland, just a little tip, little travel tip

2:01:20 If you can find...and there's ways I think you can ask for these cabs from some of the cab companies. There are these guys who do competitive cab, they enter their cabs into concourse delegances which is kind of like a car show where the vehicles are dolled up Like in mint condition, everything's spit and polished. So I was in one of these cabs once this cab dries up the thing is it's shining like there's like a just glowing It's got chrome rims Chrome wheels and the inside is all just crazy And I asked again he has a bunch of awards that he's plastered into the cab. It's actually quite interesting It's very nice ride. Yeah pride they take

2:02:11 Anyway, onward we have the same situation kind of happening in France with the Airbnb inspectors. Oh I didn't hear about this... It's one of the world's most visited cities but the tourists coming to Paris might have to find alternative accommodation Holiday rentals such as Airbnb are now facing a clampdown, as iPad-wielding authorities seek out apartments with improper authorizations. Hello! We're from the government we have an iPad and we're here to help The first step is finding them. We can recognize the building's courtyard from the picture so we going to take pictures to have proof of their location

2:02:52 In Paris, primary residences can be rented out on a short-term basis for a four month period. But for all uninhabited and furnished residences the landlord must ask authorization from the local mayor's office and this flat owner who is being investigated that has come as a surprise Once again I think it is another one of these constraints that France does so well It's a bit of rear guard action Holiday rentals are a fruitful affair. In this building in Paris' central 6th arrondissement, an apartment measuring just over 1700 square feet is on the market at 500 euros a night

2:03:32 The city of Paris is trying to clamp down on these offers, to avoid the overinflation And if we wish for Paris to remain a city for its residents, that means we must protect housing to make sure they aren't transformed into fully furnished tourist flats. According to the Paris mayor's office there are between 20 and 30 thousand furnished short-term flats listed every year. The majority of them illegal, and with plans to join forces with New York in Barcelona, the crackdown has only just begun This is rather interesting as Tina and I are planning on going to Paris in April then I was thinking... Yes that's why And I was thinking well we'll get an Airbnb

2:04:29 And this, last I checked there were plenty. Maybe this will be, oh maybe we'll get rousted in the middle of the night! Right you can get rousted and thrown out on the street Oh man good news! I want to point something out in this report that was kind of overlooked In terms of reporters and analysis When they said the number, there's 20... First they're going on. Oh! The whole town is gonna be ruined by these Airbnb douchebags and then there's not gonna be any single-family dwellings and we've done middle classes is down for the count all this sort of thing

2:05:05 So then they say there's 20,000 of these things which it seems like a lot. Okay there's 20,000 maybe 30 but there's 20,000 of these Airbnbs that occasionally...they're not full-time most of them I mean there's a couple is probably you know few thousand people that are just they rented bought a flat and they rent it out constantly But that's a minor number. But even if all 20,000 were doing this... That is 1%. Less than one percent actually of the population! It's very small yeah. The population of Paris is 2.2 million and so there are twenty thousand... Oh we're doomed

2:05:44 What a bogus story. I will say that the having used Airbnb, certainly in the Netherlands you run into this all the time now it's just people who have four or five apartments they may even be renting them themselves they may not even own them and their basically subletting and it does ruin the experience because it's not the way was originally set up which of course is also not the way Uber or Lyft were setup But it does kind of ruin the experience. I don't know, maybe it's just noise? What are they trying to do?" I don't think Airbnb is a big deal and house sharing and trading is nothing new! Before the internet you could get...I knew a guy who was constantly doing this that usually was done by a trading system. VBRO has been around for years

2:06:38 And you get a big catalog, you get a big book. It used to be a book now it's the internet and you can just do it on the internet but there used to be these big books which probably cost about five bucks to print and they had all the houses in details so you could thumb through it was actually quite entertaining Hey good news! I found The Theremin One of the new types or the old classic? No, The Theremin Sound. Oh yeah what was it called? Breathing dot mp3 remember It was because of the breathing exercise that Tina and I had done oh right breathe So now i remember Okay, I've renamed it yes I renamed it um... It's one of my favorite clips of the year Its Valentine's Day

2:07:26 And our first lady and president celebrated this, although not together but on the Ellen Show. It was bizarre! I missed it. We have a surprise for you take a look Surprise! Hi honey and hi Barack Now hold on a second So Ellen says, we have a surprise for you. And then they roll the tape. The president's clued in because he's already looking at the monitor so you know it is not like a big surprise for him and of course you'll see this as scripted later on but what if...the first lady says something very strange? We have a surprise for you take a look Surprise! Hi honey and hi Barack Who's honey? Ellen

2:08:12 What? She says hi honey and hi Barack. Play that again so I can pull it out We have a surprise for you, take a look Surprise!

We have a surprise for you, take a look Surprise! Hi honey and hi Barack I just wanted to wish you a happy Valentine's Day Oh hold on The chat room says there was a small girl next to Barack maybe i missed that? I don't know but I didn't see her in the shot It's our last one that we'll spend in the White House In honor of that I wrote you a little Valentine's day poem that I wanted to share

2:09:04 Okay, here it comes.

I wanna hear more. It gets the q-tip juices flowing, you should try it Ellen! No really You're the only person i'd share my husband with on Valentine's Day. Ruh roh Happy Valentines Yeah because you're not dangerous that..I mean that's like a homophobic thing right there! You're the only person, I know you don't want him That's obvious, you're gay! Person I'd share my husband with on Valentine's day I'm just saying, I feel this should have been a trigger warning Stay

2:10:02 Happy Valentine's Day to you and Portia. And happy Valentine's Day to everyone. And Barack, I know there is a C's candy out there so bring me something chocolatey back. You know what you need to do. Love you both. Bye bye. I thought, i would help you out because you didn't know she was gonna do that so i set up a little... I didn't but i was completely surprised. Setting? I've got something prepared which is a lie because he's about to read off the prompter Wow all right well then yeah have a set for you! I was going to deliver it in person but we can do it on the set All right

2:10:52 All right, so you'll stand there. So I'm gonna stand here with the rose petals? I'm gonna set the mood. Yeah okay all right is this good yeah now at this point he really could have done a great job we had the Barry White playing which had to pot way down who was not in the groove at all it was really sad somebody called the situation room because things are about to get hot Michelle, this Valentine's Day I'm gonna treat you right. I'm gonna make you some zucchini bread Then i'll spread out- That's gotta be code for something! What is that? Is that like a water droplet zucchini? Zucchini bread? I don't know!

I Obama care about you more than you even know it That's right? Obamacare! But Michelle, I've made a lot of great decisions as president The best decision I ever made was choosing you Thanks for putting up with me. I love you. I don't like, I would never say to any woman...I chose you! But i would never say that? Would you? Oh, that's a good question to be honest and it's not a great question It's a good question Uh.. I would never say that. I chose you. I've never done that No, but I'd never do it. You do it?! No, I said no. I said WOULD I DO IT? NO! I don't think so. That's not cool

2:12:56 I chose you that a whole big... I think it's kind of slave behavior. It's like a big litter. Don't you think that is like a slave thing? A slave thing? Slavey? I chose you as my slave? No, no, it sounds like I chose you and you know, yeah, I agree there is something about it. It's not romantic. It's not a nice thing to say Oh unless of course you're the Bachelor and your on TV show And you get the rose Michelle, I've made a lot of great decisions as president. The best decision I ever made was choosing you Thanks for putting up with me! I love you And Ellen... Happy Valentine's Day We'll be right back

2:13:47 Now it reminds me of genuine you look this up on Google because he said I Obama care for you Yeah, worst yeah. There was a pun competition They have it apparently every year and that's becoming a big deal to have they're starting to do it here But there's one in England where she would be the place with to do it Because the English language is rife or puns and so look up on Google lookup 2016 pun champion and then it should be the link you want is the mirror which is a miserable newspaper site, but I have one of these open and I'll Read a couple of puns.

2:21:46 Yes. Couple things to discuss in the second half, John... You know I've got a friend who's obsessed with completing his Beatles collection Yeah? He needs help! Oh ho ho! Two things I have here is couple of actually there's a scam going around that i want to alert everybody too that came across my desk earlier this week Ben, this is regarding the Americans with Disability Act. Which I think was... when was this signed? The 70's? 78 or something? I think it says Reagan Yeah, a while ago

2:22:25 There's a while ago, whatever. So there has been some amendments over the years and a couple of years ago there was a very specific amendment known as Section 508 and Section 508 requires certain covered entities to make their web presence completely compatible for Americans with disabilities. And that would be if you are entirely blind, somewhat blind, colorblind... If flashing images can trigger it's essentially what they've done I said essentially but it is true They took the the IETFs Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 which is huge

2:23:14 And they said, okay you have to adhere to all these things if you are a federal department or federal agency. Now, this is not even in effect right now because the board who determines this they've put out requests for comments. The comments have... I think the deadline ended but they still have not published their final rulemaking and when they do that then you have six months to adhere to it and this is a really incredible list and I'll get into some of things that need to change why I think its insane but what I'm seeing now cause I started looking at There are consultants who are out there contacting large organizations, non-profits as well claiming that Section 508 requires all non-profits and most commercial companies to adhere to the Section 508 guidelines which is a lie. And I have written proof that consultants are out there saying this

2:24:14 and they'll do it with, well you know even if you feel you may not be covered look what happened to the Cancer Society of America. They were sued because someone felt they couldn't get...they were being discriminated against and they lost these lawsuits. And there are these consultants out there and listen to the recommendations so that tone down to specific levels the luminance on any image so the colors will look the same to everybody. Of course we have 8% of men who are colorblind, I fall under that but i kind of can see your red green or I understand what color it is...to a certain degree. I have some problems with brown and green next to each other

2:25:00 So we now have to degrade the image level so that someone who is colorblind or somewhat sighted gets a good experience. Adam, why are you demanding this? Because everyone has to be equal and so what's happening here is we're degrading my experience as a full-sighted person so that someone else can see it. Serif font is no longer allowed because serif is hard to read for people I think this is bull yes, thank you studied and and the end I should mention yeah go ahead Sarah font for people like deal with fonts makes for faster reading Because because the serifs themselves Form an invisible line that makes easy to go from line to line in the line But has you can read faster with Sarah fonts fair Sarah fonts are superior

2:25:55 For many people for reading, for actual use. Well they are going to be for boatin'. And you can, this is I'm telling you. This is the standard. This is what these consultants are pushing You can no longer have an image with letters in it. You have to have that superimposed over the image so screen read Yes alt tags are good So you have an alt tag so a screen reader will see won't of course doesn't see the image But says an image named etc etc etc and they could kind of figure out what that image was That you're not seeing as a blind person No we had if you have images on If you have words on an image, you have to separate those in a separate layer so screen readers can get to them. Alt tag is not enough. Where did you get this story? And how come it's not on tech news? Well it is tech news but I guess I didn't start the jingle and I got this because... It's all in the show notes You can see all of these consultants There's uh what was the big one that I found The SSB BART group

2:26:54 And, you know of course the consultants come in and they say oh you need to have all this. You're going to get sued is very very...and quite honestly they're probably right even though it is not only for federal departments and agencies if you do one thing let's just say you remove serif then you also can't have anything blinking at a certain rate because it might trigger epileptic fits I'm

2:27:38 But they're going to exist before you showed up. Yes, and nonprofits are freaking out because of getting all this incoming messaging and it's very hard to find the exact information then ask around people say yeah I heard about this here and then of course they always say but you know you should do it anyway because it's good for SEO oh okay thanks yeah that's why I'll do it so So have a look at the Web Content Access Guide 2.0, no one could adhere to that! No one... it's yeah every single government site I've seen so far that is WCAG compliant looks like shit it looks like you-it looks like a gopher It's just text links You might as well give up on making something look good and I find it reprehensible that my experience has to be downgraded

2:28:24 I'm fine with alternative versions, but it has to be downgraded because someone else can't see it? That's bull. I don't know what you're going to do about it unless you have a parallel internet. Well... You're allowed in extreme cases and of course this is not spelled out specifically if there's no other way to adhere to all this you can create a separate site that has all of this in it with a separate path for people. Now, I've always been...I've really worked hard throughout my life to make sure there are always screen reader versions available we make all our show notes available in structured text format and OPML format which is an XML variant

2:29:07 Our show notes are really one big page that screen readers can go through. If there's anything we can do better, I'd love to hear about it but this is an epic scam and i want to hear how many people in our audience have had consultants come up to them saying they have to adhere to this when that has a blatant lie? Blatant lie! No, all right...I was actually going to read you one of these uh hold on a second..i'll read you one of these lies from a consultant. It'll trip you out, hold on a second... Where is it? Well that was slick! Say something and I'll find it quicker. Okay well you know when you're done with that I want to play a couple clips so I wanna play this new article in the Nation magazine blasting Hillary This will be the Blasting Hillary show There's an update on Collette... I have the email thank you This is from a consultant

2:30:17 Corporations and nonprofits are required by law to ensure their digital properties are compliant with the American with Disabilities Act standards or have an action plan in place for updating them. How about that? It's a lie! Corporations and non-profits do not, even if you receive federal funding it's the section 508 specifically says... You do not have to adhere to it now will we have to in the future of course I'm sure That's a different lie. It's not a lie, that's the truth. Alright well let's at least get this one thing out of the way since we're out of tech news now I want to just ask you...just kind of quiz you a little bit about the record freeze which is going on as we speak

2:31:02 It's been a relatively mild winter so far by Buffalo standards, but that is about to change. A dangerously cold Arctic air mass moving in tonight meaning by tomorrow morning we could set 100 year old record from the Midwest all the way to North Carolina The National Weather Service is warning conditions will result in frostbite and lead to hypothermia or death if precautions are not taken I think it's a very serious situation The cold is already causing damage. A burst pipe in Scranton, Pennsylvania turning these homes into ice castles In some places it could feel like 40 below zero this weekend and at temperatures like that frostbite can set in just minutes

2:31:44 It goes on and on. This is going to be one of the worst freezes ever in the history of the country, and how come when they do... Remember during over Christmas it was kind of warm in New York? I think it hit- Yes! For a minute there. And everybody brought up the global warming thing. Oh, it's global warming is what it's gonna be like in the future. Then when they have these cold spells nobody ever brings up the global cooling. The group of people that were into global cooling, who still exist. Well it was John P Holdren the current science advisor to the president he was a global cooling guy before he became a global warming guy I don't understand why they're global cooling guys are...I think this is a conspiracy just don't give them the ink and then i think it's the media at the press

2:32:34 Possibly. This is a good time to talk about global cooling, this is terrible! It'll be the coldest year in history. No even if it's the coldest year in history, it will still be one of the warmest years on history that's how it works I don't know how they manage that but they do a really good job of it because every single time someone calls the numbers into you know and says hey these numbers aren't right or your reading the number wrong that's when shut up slave You're just listening to The Koch Brothers Here's a good story. This is the cluster bomb story that was on RT where they point out a very interesting anomaly about our complaining about Cluster bombs the Russians are using that was Secretary of State John Kerry speaking alongside the Egyptian foreign minister at the US Department of State on Tuesday Condemning Russia's use of cluster bombs in Syria yet Kerry did not speak out against the use of u.s Manufactured cluster bombs and another

2:33:29 conflict, the US-backed Saudi led offensive in Yemen. Amnesty International said it has new evidence that the US backed Saudi led coalition dropped cluster bombs during an air attack on Sana'a on January 6th which killed a 16 year old boy and injured at least half dozen other civilians. UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon says that January 6th's attack may amount to war crime. And do we know exactly what happened or do we really think the Russians were dropping cluster bombs? Well those last bombs are our bombs. There you go How come we're bitching about the Russians when we make cluster bombs? Oh, man all right here Let's play this clip This is another Democracy Now! clip because they're going after Hillary less faces So this is where I'm gonna get on my anti-Hillary stuff

2:34:16 And this is the Blacks and Hillary. This is a new article in the very liberal Nation magazine. Meanwhile, Michelle Alexander has written a seething critique of Hillary Clinton published yesterday in the Nation magazine. Alexander who's the author of The New Jim Crow argues Clinton does not deserve the black vote pointing to her role in advocating for the passage of the 1994 crime bill as well as the 96 Welfare Reform Act Alexander writes, quote, it's difficult to overstate the damage that has been done. Generations have been lost to the prison system. Countless families have been torn apart or rendered homeless and a school-to-prison pipeline has been born that shuttles young people from their decrepit

2:35:01 underfunded schools to brand new high-tech prisons. Hillary believes that she can win this game in 2016 because this time she's got us, the black vote in her back pocket, her lucky card." Michelle Alexander goes on to say, "...she may be surprised to discover that the younger generation is no longer wants to play her game." There's a lot going on with Black Lives Matter right now in the news Yeah, yeah. We have the Grammys are very smart. They're looking at the Oscars so white promotion and thinking you know that's a great way to get some ratings were not on Sunday because Valentine's Day so they moved it to Monday night which is I think is new for the for the Grammy Awards and they've stirred up their own controversy of course we always have The Dead segment and Lady Gaga

2:35:54 will perform an eight minute Lady Gaga, will perform an eight minute David Bowie tribute. Jackson Brown will honor Glenn Frey. Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp will perform a tribute for Lemmy from Motorhead. However there'll be no tributes for Maurice White of Earth Wind & Fire or Natalie Cole! They'll just being in little video package. So we've got some... Oh that's a scandal especially Natalie Cole Yeah We've got some controversies And I think that is wrong Because Natalie Cole deserves to have a tribute. Well, especially if that one guy you mentioned I don't ever heard of him who let me the guy with the Johnny Depp and it was it was the guy there Let me let me yeah, let me you don't know who let me is not come no I don't buy he's dead Lizzie let me for Motorhead Oh motor head yeah Natalie Cole and Motorhead okay? No

2:36:50 But she's not, Daddy Cole does not get a performance. She should! Of course she should. So should Maurice White Yeah I would think so too. It's great. At least the Motorhead gets some tribute Earth, wind and fire should get one. I think that the question is... They did this on purpose? Yeah for this promotion! Yes exactly there will be a rival movie awards which is set up by Russell Simmons Wait a minute hold on a second Hip-hop mogul extraordinaire yeah yeah Russell Simmon's in it for the money Yes, isn't the people's choice isn't the Golden Globes Isn't all those other ones rival musical or rival movie awards aren't they all rival movie award? Yeah But he's gonna do one right before the Oscars. It'll be the All Deaf Movie Awards All deaf yeah

2:37:43 DEF death yeah, I know what it is well. You didn't know lemme. I'm trying to help no death jam Yes very good. I didn't know let me I don't never motorhead was not a band. I bothered with Motorhead Okay, come on oh Yeah, the Vorex a big Motorhead fan and then I just had a question for you I keep seeing, because i follow all the Black Lives Matter stuff. It's phenomenally interesting to me. Well it's partly a beat but yeah these are... We're all Americans and we're being ripped apart so I'm interested to see how its being done and if there is anything that can ever be done to stop it But theres a new meme that id like some explanation on. I keep reading..we've been through this for 400 years

2:38:35 America is what, 245? How many years are we now? That's the official America. But 400 years ago we had settlers... 1600 Right but did we have slaves for a hundred years ago? We had a lot of indentured servants and I believe there may have been some slaves or maybe not maybe it was a little longer i don't know when the popularity of the slave thing took off It was the Dutch And some of these Europeans always point the finger at us that came up with this idea of grabbing these black Africans and making them slaves. It was totally the Dutch, yeah, the Dutch invented it! Yeah, the Dutch were big and the Brits too they covered it up better. And the Africans themselves I mean it was black African's that came up with the idea...it wasn't one way to vanquish their enemies

2:39:22 was to put them in a boat and ship them out of the country. That's pretty... But I mean, if you want to take 400 years and we can look at everybody and say there was slavery. There wasn't slavery in ancient Greece or Rome! I mean come on? Rome is built on slavery. Yeah I don't know, but i find it interesting that this number... Now she mentions a little myopic. They should go straight trace it back to Rome in particular. Yeah you can keep going! Two thousand years of oppression! It's just-it's a gimmick yeah well nothing i can do. I don't like it. I have uh i have a war on vaping clip for you something interesting happened there's

2:40:08 A bill was in the House, which did pass I might add. And this is the vaping bill...I'm going to tell you what this is. Did you hear about it? Was this about the Senator who vaped? Yeah yeah I have the clip and who was it uh so this is a bill put in by Tom Cole and its house resolution 2058 and so in Congress Duncan Hunter took this like, he had pulled out a vape pen did a huge big vape inhale and blew a big cloud out. People like you know, like waving their arms oh my god what has he done? And here's his little speech So this is called a vaporizer there is no combustion there are no carcinogens What the General Atty. did not say is that smoking has gone down as use of vaporizers have gone up There was no burning There was nothing noxious about this whatsoever

2:41:07 This has helped thousands of people quit smoking. It's helped me quit smoking and in the next decade or so, you're going to be able to inhale ibuprofen? You're gonna be able to inhale your Prozac and anything else that you need?" When I heard that, I'm like holy moly! I had no idea this is where vaping was headed. We're gonna be able to vape your Prozac?! I'm good to go. Ibuprofen, you're gonna be able to inhale your Prozac. Hey honey can you get the Viagra vape? I'm ready Anything else that you need drug wise You're gonna be able to inhale it. This is a great future We need to stop this could I reclaim my time this amendment? I think that the general eddy already yielded But I'll be happy to yield in just a moment The way that this amendments written too you won't be able to have an asthma inhaler

2:41:56 You won't be able to have a nebulizer. I got him there anything exactly this is the future Smoking's going away and the ability to take in nicotine or any other form of? Medications of grooviness in the future will be in something like a vaporizer For freedom sake yes for the sake of people that are trying to quit smoking and quit dipping and still have nicotine I would urge my and friends here, and colleagues who oppose this amendment. And I'd be happy to yield to the gentlelady." Now, I think this was really about not vaping on airplanes? It seems like you know that you can't vape in airports, it's fine whatever... even though it makes no sense really fine

2:42:38 But then this is keep blowing up. I don't want people vaping on airplanes sure, but I feel that the future which is clearly spelled out the future of vaping your Prozac your prozac is dynamite This is we are trending this is from the future this stuff. This is good it is yeah, hey there a minute Fine now you want now he wants to thereman I always wanted that. It is your future! Nice, very nice and on that tip we've discussed our healthcare insurance premiums on the previous show where i said i'm paying $500 a month for me the Mimi's playing paying 600 uh but i would like...i don't know if you got all this email but people kept saying wow that Obamacare is a rip-off i can't buy though it's like just so you know

2:43:47 I don't have Obamacare. I don't qualify for Obamacare This is not ObamaCare, this is the result of Obamacare I pay $500 a month so there can be an Obamacare I just want people to understand that somehow the world, this is what i noticed. Outside of the United States people have this idea that this is our global health care system and we're all now under this Obamacare thing no! No-no-no That is for people who can't afford it And because of that insurance companies have jacked up everybody else's rates. I just wanted to be clear They would've jumped them up anyway

2:44:27 Insurance could be the most dangerous scam. Oh sure, but people are very confused about what Obamacare is or the Affordable Care Act to be specific so I wanted to make sure that people knew that and i really appreciate all the people who are saying yes if you run for Congress I'll help you, I'll do this, I'll do that but so far nobody is willing to get 500 signatures Hey, when you do that I'll be ready. I'll be here to help ya! No You have to hire... there's groups that do this for you? I don't want that. I-I know Well then you can stand at the corner over by The Whole Foods with a clipboard and as everyone goes by you can say hi I'm Adam Curry I wanna run for Congress could you sign my petition too? But I need people to help

2:45:13 I need people to help. Well, if you were an organizing type... I needed a community organizer. I needed an organizer to help! That's my point. There are plenty of people that can help. But they're not showing up? No they're not. The first goal is to find them and then get them to show up. It's not going to be that easy. Okay, gotcha. Okay here's the clip Well here's a this is kind of interesting. This, uh, this is I just the clip was looking for early This is the Turkish guy bitching about Syria. This DN Syria report on ethnic cleansing

2:45:50 On Wednesday, the Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu accused the Assad government and Russian military of carrying out a campaign of quote ethnic cleansing in Aleppo. We should all accept refugees but these attacks are also intended to bring about a kind of ethnic cleansing in Syria Holy crap this is great who is that guy? That's fantastic! This is about an ethnic cleansing. Oh, this is great! On Wednesday the Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu accused the Assad government and Russian military of carrying out a campaign of quote ethnic cleansing in Aleppo We should all accept refugees but these attacks are also intended to bring about a kind of ethnic cleansing in Syria so that all people who don't support the Syrian regime they're driven out of the country

2:46:45 It's a systematic ethnic cleansing. This comes as a new report by the Syrian Center for Policy Research says 11.5% of Syria's population has either been killed or injured since 2011. Good work! Well done, well done I have two... The last clip? Oh okay. We're just trying to wrap up Yeah, I have two My last clip is the end of Greyhound Racing and I have a thought about this. End of Greyhound Racing? I think i saw a piece about this somewhere... Greyhound racing has been on its last legs for decades it's hanging on in Florida but pun intended David Begnaud found that even there, the hounds could be nearing the end of their run

2:47:36 Peter Sires has been taking his daughter and his grandchildren to the Naples Fort Myers Greyhound Racing Track for 20 years. On this day, the grandstands were nearly empty. I've seen a big decline in the attendance of there. I remember the crowds really cheering. Only 19 dog tracks remain in the U.S., 12 of them are in Florida. Isidore Havanik owns two of them To have 50 people come through a business that seats thousands, it's like going to a Dolphins game in December. It's an empty building. Havodik says he loses $5 million dollars a year running these races but he says he has too in order to keep his more profitable poker business open

2:48:23 Florida law mandates it. We have to run 90% of the amount of racing we ran in 1996 in order to keep our poker room open How many races do you have to run a year? Thousands of dog races Havanik supports decoupling the two businesses so he can run his poker rooms without racing the dogs Kerry Thiel is executive director of Gray2K an organization working to protect greyhounds. Greyhound racing is cruel and inhumane, these dogs live in small cages for about 22 hours a day the cages are barely large enough for the dogs stand up or turn around if they don't want to run like greyhound racing they could stop today stop today turning your permit

2:49:03 Corey lobbies for the greyhound industry. He insists the dogs are well cared for, he blames the audience decline on track owners. Live Greyhound racing is alive and well if the tracks wanted to promote it if the tracks want to modernize it Mr. Thiel in animal rights groups and the Greyhound tracks all want become slot casinos Okay, that's what's going on because it all is legalized gamity you look at the money floor The only reason they ever had greyhound racing because you couldn't do any other kind of gambling in certain areas And it's a kind of a form of gambling and you can make some money doing it. It was and it's exciting I would say

2:49:40 If anybody out there has not been to a Greyhound Race, you better go pretty soon because they're going to ban this product. It's interesting because I saw a Greyhound Report completely different about track owners maybe three weeks ago so... Something is up for sure these are brought in. Let me talk about this for just a second. Go to a Greyhound Race they are extremely entertaining and kids in particular if you have children love the The race, I mean the atmosphere of these Greyhound tracks has become kind of cigar-ish. You know kinda old and beaten and battered but it's a fantastic process to watch the races are hilarious because about one out every three or four races uh one of the lead dogs falls

2:50:23 I love that. And all the dogs tumble, and it's hilarious because they all get back up and continue the race but it's actually quite...I don't know maybe its cruel but is quite funny to watch 15 dogs falling over themselves. I think the consensus amongst politically correct people would be that you are a horrible man for even suggesting that This is all cruel. It's all cruel. Oh my god, so cruel it's all cruel Yeah dog tracks are betting Establishments we can bet on the races even though no one promotes that there's probably a you know a Seattle slew or there some famous Dog that could go from place to place and he's gonna kick-ass dog that runs really fast

2:51:08 I don't know his name. This is not a very well-promoted sport, and they can't...I would go see if I was nearby, I'd go see a race with the world's fastest dog against the local superstars and it would be very interesting." But no, they don't promote anything like that. It's just a bunch of random dogs. And so the betting tip which I think I've discussed on this show before The betting tip is you bet on the dog, the last dog you see take a dump. Then you go bet on that dog." Now I did that- Isn't it the same for horses though? I thought it was same for ponies. You don't see as many horses taking dumps but...I did that trick in a race and I think it was a dog track maybe in Connecticut or someplace not sure wasn't in Florida

2:51:49 And it didn't work, so don't you know that's just a great tip. Don't follow it I don't know if it works or not now the other sport which is gonna go away Soon and they didn't talk about dwarf tossing your dwarf tossing is on this kids The other one's gonna go away as high lie Oh man, Highlight is a great sport to watch. It's a great sport to watch and there are very famous highlight players and you can kind of figure out who to bet on it's the same as another betting game And it's not going to be around much longer because again there aren't any promotions its not the same kinda money as a slot casino you know, where you can just roll in the dough. Well isn't it also a problem? Isn't it also just a problem that this cash and there's all kinds of stuff going on with this type of betting and I don't know... It sounds like a lot of different agendas at play than this one. Whatever the case go see if DogRacing. Well apparently according to the chat room there is a dog track in Arkansas which will be at the end of the month still looking for someone to organize the meetup please Arkansanians will be in Fayetteville

2:52:53 So if there's one there, I'll go. I will report back. It's probably in Little Rock would be my guess Well, I'll report back and see what I can find Yeah you'd love to see it The dog races are very funny And they're exciting and they do a lot of them and the dogs look like they're having a good time Great for kids By the way when they showed that scene with the guy and his two daughters Their daughter and son are jumping up and down the camp They're happy They're loving it No, it's cruel I think one of them is holding a ticket to let these kids bet I swear the one girl, little girl she's jumping up and down. She's holding the ticket. Oh! And like she just won. That's great. I think that might be illegal

2:53:33 My final bid is to the war on cash really ratcheting up now in Europe we've been tracking this for three maybe four years seems to be getting pretty serious. Could its days be numbered? Finance ministers are calling on the European Central Bank to look at ways of tightening access to 500 euro notes in a bid to cut terra funding there are concerns that it's high value makes it easy to carry large sums and launder cash, there even calls for it to be scrapped altogether The 500 euro note is used more to facilitate transactions which are illegal, rather than allowing people like you and me to buy food he says. Therefore it's normal that we raise the question now about the use of this banknote."

2:54:18 PCB is also facing calls for limits to be brought in for cash payments The 500 euro note is one of the highest valued in the world Germany was one of the early champions of it matching the value of its old 1000 mark equivalent So in an indirect way, they're also you know saying FU Germany this is you wanted this I'm not gonna happen then taking away the people's ability to have money and Yeah, that way you can wipe them out with a computer push of a button. Boom! You're broke buddy. Yep And you don't think that's gonna happen? Ha! It's definitely on its way All right everybody Thursday 800 episodes of your podcast the one that you produce executive produce associate executive produce and then we have steadily been
