About this episode

Hillary Clinton delivered a scathing foreign policy address in San Diego, framing Donald Trump as a psychiatric risk unfit to hold the U.S. nuclear codes. The speech, characterized by journalist Carl Bernstein as a psychiatric indictment, utilized quotes from foreign leaders to question Trump's temperament. This escalation occurs as the State Department admits to scrubbing 2013 press briefing footage to hide secret Iran negotiations, fueling theories regarding Clinton’s 2012 health crisis and the death of Navy SEAL Commander Job W. Price.

In Austin, the local economy faces a paradox of $1.5 million condos and emergency rooms overflowing with residents unable to afford high insurance deductibles. Following the exit of Uber and Lyft, replacement apps like Fasten and Ride Austin struggle with systemic technical failures. Meanwhile, the Republican National Convention faces a sponsorship crisis as Coca-Cola and Microsoft distance themselves from the campaign. In Europe, Swiss voters rejected a Universal Basic Income proposal by over 70 percent, while the Bank of England debuted a polymer five-pound note featuring Winston Churchill.

Elon Musk captivated the Recode conference with claims that humanity likely exists within a computer simulation, though skeptics argue that modern AI remains little more than a marketing term for basic APIs. The episode acknowledges the creative contributions of the No Agenda Art Generator and concludes with a knighting ceremony for Sir Cole, Knight of the Left Turn at Albuquerque, following his generous contribution to the value-for-value model.

Austin Bug Eating Jubilee, Rained Out Events

Heavy rains and lightning in Austin, Texas, led to the cancellation of the 9th annual Austin Bug Eating Jubilee. Similar weather concerns previously impacted the X Games at the Circuit of the Americas. Safety protocols regarding metal frames and open spaces are cited as the primary reason for these event shutdowns.

Austin Ride-Sharing Market, Uber and Lyft Alternatives

Following the departure of Uber and Lyft from Austin, several local ride-sharing startups including Get Me, Fare, Ride Austin, and Fasten have struggled to provide reliable service. Users report frequent cancellations, long wait times, and non-functional applications despite a high volume of available drivers shown on digital maps. The transition to independent local services is characterized as complicated and prone to failure compared to the established infrastructure of major providers.

01:34 I'm not Bill Nye the science guy. It seems like a lot of alarmism if you ask me. Oh, that's a shame! I was looking forward to it... Don't worry, I've got other good stuff for you no worries about that. Anyway so yesterday evening Tina and one of her daughters and I went out to dinner and then, you know as a walkable distance from the skyscraper. Then all of sudden boom! You know as we're getting ready to leave the clouds open up now I have not one not two but i think nothing three I've four... One.. Two.. Three yes four different ride sharing services that have been launched in Austin since Uber and Lyft pulled out And I think I should tell you a little bit about them Yes I think so too this is good This will be what your gonna describe

02:28 Not knowing a thing about it, but what you're going to describe I believe will be a harbinger of things that come in other cities. A harbinger! It's our word of the week! That's right John, you get to take the lollipop home So i have Get Me Fair Ride Austin and Fasten Fasten? Yeah as in fasten your seatbelt So, now I really liked Uber and I always took the Uber Black or it's Lukes in some cities. Or whatever because I don't want some dude just you know with his mom's car driving me around. So i'm happy to pay a couple dollars extra for premium car

03:09 Get me has no pre it has doesn't have premium cars, but they have options between bike car SUV and limo I've never sorry start. What was the first one bike as in motorbike Wow yeah? Well It's not available yet But haven't seen any and there's none on the map car which is you know three we if you got four wheels then You're good to go the suv They have a number of them and then limo So I tried this app, not last night but I tried this app and every car... In downtown Austin there was not a car within 20 minutes of me so that one just passed by. And i've not seen a car again within 20 minutes yet the map looks really full then we have fare f-a-r-e and they have standard premium SUV and I tried this one the other day a premium car

04:05 Now granted, he was 11 minutes away and pretty much where I was going. So he accepted the ride... And I'm waiting for him and then about 4 minutes in- Oh! Canceled. This is my first experience with the premium car service from Fare. Cancelled. Okay? Not gonna use that one again Then I went to Ride Austin. This is the local initiative, they have a great app and nothing works. They have no cars, they have nothing. It's good initiative that's not going to work." And then this next one which was alerted me by one of our producers...I think the owner is maybe Russian? And they were really nice, they gave me $100 credit with a code yeah! So I had no premium car but last night as we're walking out of the restaurant it's raining crazy let's just order

04:53 This one always shows cars two or three minutes away. So this is the first time I'm going to try it, now he's three minutes away we're waiting it's raining...I see him about to on the map should be at the corner ready to turn into the street where we are cancels the request and I got charged for it which they will return to my account in that 3-4 business days There's a lot to be said about Uber and Lyft being A-holes, but I never had any of this happen. This is shit that shows you what the Uber had there...had it together not that they're money making enterprise. And guess if you can put enough money into something the service will be great for awhile But none of these are good every single one crap Well, that's a big disappointment Here's an opportunity there handed in opportunity of a lifetime

05:45 Here you go, we're taking the big boys out of the picture. It's all yours." Yeah and it's so disappointing because I'm all for the underdog! I'm even willing to ride in your crappy ass mom car just to say that it works but no there are not enough cars or drivers... Three cancellations and three new apps and if you're ordering a premium car then maybe someone would say oh let's handle this differently Or give the guy a call or something. I never use the app again! Give the guy a call? Give the guy a call! Cancelled, coming around the corner cancelled. Yeah telling you it was right around the corner cancel So there's that and uh... so what did you do You didn't have a car how'd you get out of town we oh We walked home and got wet what else are you gonna Do you can't get a cab well i hope you Can't Get A Cab

06:43 No way, no way. No not when it's raining So sorry but I do not have a good update as you know we so there's no update on the dinner There's no update on the buggy eating I did get can't get a car that time these whole town is going to crap because your city council That's what I would be upset about I would get on their case a lot of people are uber Hey hold on a second What are they running uber and lyft out letting these independents come in for it sounds corrupt? Because They are following the rules and handing over all of their data and paying all the fees and doing everything that's expected Of them, and lo and behold you can't make it work apparently. I don't know why but they can't seem to make it work so Huh? Yeah But did this you know doing something like this apparently is Complicated yes shouldn't be just ride-sharing No no if you really want to turn into a service

07:46 which is what I had become used to. You know, because it wasn't ride sharing these were great beautiful cars that i could get on demand It wasn't ride share! I'm not sharing a ride! It said it was ride-sharing! It's called Ride Sharing! In fact... It's sharing! It's sharing two people you Somebody who needs a ride and somebody happens to be driving around aimlessly will share. No, they'll cancel! He's not sharing he is cancelling. Not sharing... He is sharing. Cancelling. Cancelling me out And by the way that is mobilist Am I being a mobilist? No no any guy who any driver who cancels on me as being mobilist He has mobility and I don't that inherently racist

Facebook Dispute, Donald Trump Con Man Allegations

A social media dispute involving a Stanford University professor centered on an article from The Economist regarding Donald Trump's business dealings at the Taj Mahal. The professor characterized Trump as a "certifiable con man" based on a $200,000 payment dispute with a contractor. The disagreement escalated into a broader debate about the definition of a confidence trick and the professional integrity of scientists versus entertainers.

facebook· donald trump· the economist· stanford university· taj mahal

08:37 Well, mobilists to be technical. Yes it's a version of racism based on mobility sure sure it is anyway I did get into a Twitter fight with the professor but maybe we should hold out on not Twitter Facebook fight face bag fight. Oh yeah I'll hold off on that no yes now I'm holding on okay you twisted my arm Alright, so let me just bring it up because I had to screenshot this stuff to make sure. First of all let's start with the premise that there is really not a lot of very interesting news. There is a lot of side stuff going on like the Brexit and Turkey debate... Oh yeah! I got news! Yeah thats all good stuff but theres nothing as good as local gossip what happened?

09:21 So the professor, and mind you this is a brain professor headhunted to coin a phrase. Sorry? Yeah, head hunted from being drugged out of UT to Stanford. To Stanford right and he and his wife are of course bots but that's okay we're friends And he likes to post little links about stuff particularly if it's about Donald Trump being a dick So he posts this and he says, I wonder... Always. Yes? Always a winner! Remember this is a professor. This guy is smart. You should shut up. I wonder if we have ever had a certifiable con man as a presidential candidate before question mark and he links to an article from The Economist

10:08 And we know The Economist has a... about a contractor who worked on Taj Mahal. It was $700,000 contract and at the end there was a two hundred thousand dollar balance and Trump didn't want to pay And they only interviewed or at least they only quoted The contractor saying what a dick what a dick What a dick and then a year later after all kinds of bullshit in court cases we finally got paid so I won the only thing I thought interesting about The Professor's Post was

10:54 that the article contains no actual story of Trump being a con man. You know, if you have a dispute with the contractor even if you jipped the contractor and say screw you I'm not paying you the last $200 that's not a con man. No, not at all. So again, the question...I wonder if we ever had a certifiable conman as a presidential candidate before? And first comment from somebody nope! And then I reply NOPE! I reply Nope, we only find them in the sciences. Thinking that would be kind of funny because he's the one to turn me on to the falsification of data and this manipulation of p-values. Oh I see what happened already! Yeah? He took that as a personal affront To...the max. To an extreme So again, I said nope We only find them in the sciences

11:52 The professor comes back. You spent half your life in the entertainment industry and you want to tell us that con men are more common in science than an entertainment or business? And then, right after that his wife chimes in yes all those filthy rich scientists raking in the dough through their science cons. I'm like oh wow okay So I'm trying to bring this back on track because i don't want to fight. I'm not going to fight it happen You're correct I reply all I see is a scientist who posts a headline about a con man that contains no actual story of a Con, Is it clear what I'm talking about here or am? I way off base is it uh

12:38 Would you understand? You put in the post, that's exactly what I just said. I'm asking you now... I didn't put it in the post Oh! I thought you were reading the post No we'll get to that later That sounds reasonable I think Read again Okay so I say let me just make sure I get everything here All I see is a scientist who posts a headline about a con man that contains no actual story of a con That's what I posted. Next! Okay, that was a mistake... What should i have done? What was my mistake there? What did I do wrong? Instead of saying scientist which referred back to the other commentary about scientists being conmen instead of using the word scientists you should have said all I see is someone Oh okay well you're right right that was probably possibly microaggression

13:35 Yes, no it was definitely a microaggression in that in the sense of my well It was unintended so that's probably where I went wrong But I keep trying to bring this back yeah The professor replies you don't consider telling people you will pay them for a service and then ripping them off by hiding behind legal action a con My icon. No at all so does he know what the word means whoa wait wait? Gets much better than this So And then I, so this kind of cross post. Does he think a pickpocket is the kind man? Does he think a shoplift is the kind man? I really wanted to try and get it away from that because I was more interested in science because I'd found this webpage and only came across as this has taken place... You should go to this retractionwatch.com. I tweeted this link out. Retractionwatch.com? Yeah That's gotta be a great site. This is a fabulous site! Here we go

Retraction Watch, Scientific Misconduct and Fraud

The website Retraction Watch highlights numerous instances of scientific misconduct, including the removal of papers due to falsified data and unauthorized data release. Recent reports involve journals like PLOS One and cases of PhD revocations and government funding bans for researchers. The site serves as a repository for tracking plagiarism and image reuse in academic publishing.

14:37 JMA journals pull three papers by same authors for misconduct. PLOS One republishes removed chronic fatigue syndrome data that was removed two weeks ago because authors had no permission to release the data. Authors reused images in three papers despite saying they were extensively validated. Grad student who confessed to falsifying data barred from government funding... This is just June, by the way! Some post you, let me see... Author committed serious mistakes. Fraudsters colleague fakes data too! Lawsuit against publisher over retraction It just goes on and on and it's all fraud Well this is a good one some post you may have missed Impressive amounts of plagiarism PhD revocation Don't hear about that much in the science columns

CHAPTER 05 / 36 Discussion

Cognitive Dissonance, Political Polarization in Social Media

The psychological concept of cognitive dissonance is applied to the intense emotional reactions of voters regarding Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Personal relationships are reportedly strained by political disagreements on platforms like Facebook, where users are accused of "moral self-licensing." The discussion suggests that hyper-partisanship prevents rational discourse and leads to misinterpretations of simple statements.

cognitive dissonance· donald trump· hillary clinton· social media· psychology

15:32 So I post that and like, man that's kind of fun to talk about. I'm still trying to get it away from Trump but no No one is saying fraud doesn't happen in science nice job trying to turn away from the real issue here so The real issue, Trump didn't pay a contractor. So I reply come on Russ! You know so now I'm like come on Russ... I know I had to. Admit you used the dumb headline because you hate Trump it's okay to hate Trump the story is just not about a con i won't insult you by linking to a definition. I'm sorry what is the real issue? You don't want people to vote for trump and this article is the expose that will convince everyone or do you just do it as a form of moral self-licensing

16:20 Now I'm on a roll. Anyway, my original comment was meant as a wink towards your recent post about p-values and the crisis in your field and others that's all really no beef no Trump love or no Trump hate so how do you think he responds to that? Well i would say if he was rational he would have said oh yeah you're right okay here's the way it'd be me Oh yeah, you're right. I'm sorry. I got a little out of control. Yeah, a little carried away. It was kind of stupid. You're right. Hey, I do hate Trump it's just a fact and that stat will still rule the dust see next time in Austin No, that is not how he replied because we will analyze some of this as we go along

17:05 Sadly, the professor and his wife are ill. I mean they have the sickness and California could not be helping so no his response was I stand by my characterization as Trump, as a con man given his history in business. From Wikipedia quote A confidence trick is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their confidence used in the classical sense of trust Confidence tricks exploit characteristics of the human psyche such as dishonesty honesty vanity compassion credulity irresponsibility naivete and greed

17:41 Now, he doesn't fit the classic image of a Karn artist but I think it's clear he fits the definition. I am not naive enough to think people who are planning to vote for Trump will be persuaded by this article! I think that the only thing that could drive them from voting for him at this point is if he took off his mask and revealed himself as Hillary Clinton in disguise! That's an old one... I posted it because I thought some of my friends might be interested mostly preaching to the choir you can call that moral self-licensing if you want So I come back. Oh, geez... No this is-I'm trying to-no argument! You're trying to patch things up? Yeah yeah, like the professor so here we go no argument pretty much all politicians fit the description and yes all entertainment is a con and a shit ton of contractors are con men too The Economist has a new editor and her choice of material is a new low for the publication in my opinion I guess we'll pick up the conversation about science fraud and cons some other day

18:40 Now that seems reasonable, doesn't it? Yes. But this morning I wake up... And I'll give you the response that he would be- That he- I'm gonna predict his response Well okay He's gonna say You're right! I'll see ya when whenever and that's it No no no It's worse now it's worse It's worse He did not reply anymore His wife replied Oh no Not the wife Now this is after a whole day has gone by Jennifer, his wife. Watch with a protective bubble for Trump Adam! I mean you put out all kinds of unsubstantiated wackadoodle stuff about Obama and the Clintons How can you with a straight face then turn around and admonish someone for making the very reasonable comment that Trump has con artist tendencies? Your litmus test for bullshit is astoundingly lopsided here Oh, And i assume you'll cover this story in detail on Sunday's show YES?!

19:39 which is an ABC News story about the headline, ex-Texas official Trump U probe dropped due to politics. And then she goes on to say or is this the week that Bill is hospitalized? Hill sure could use those sympathy votes going into the California primary! They're gonna wait... well let's stop there And let me just make an analysis, just for her benefit. Because she's listening. Oh definitely! Both of them are listening. She is not... Hillary is not going to waste Bill could be dead for all we know but it'd be like Mandela He's staying alive until they get deep into the race It's the October surprise that we have Yes he's just a hologram Yeah, she mocks us John, she mocks us

20:32 with good reason from the filters through which she views life, I understand. Oh yeah, now she's down in the... and now she is in a multi-culti center here You know what? When she gets mugged by you know, a gang sometime shortly Don't put that out there! I'm just sad that these very intelligent people not everything that comes out of someone's mouth is necessarily against you You know what I mean? This is a much bigger problem than Trump and Hillary. This is exactly the problem we have... Now, I'm not your typical Facebook culture. Yeah! But this show, this is an award-winning

21:25 Professor in brains and psychology, brain science. That was your brain science that's just different than psychology? I'm sorry yes but he you know this is a smart guy and to have to see this taking place... Yeah but from his perspective and this is very common in this area that we're that I'm in They have a very specific set of guidelines the way they judge everything. But this is... That's why the state is just outrageously Democrat, no matter how broke they make us and how much money they steal, the Democrats it's a corrupt state! No but this is not the problem, this is not my issue at all I tried four times to say let's talk about something else

22:14 That's not why I'm not here to argue you about Trump. And then they slept on it, and then woke up and were more angry... This is anger that i'm feeling! This is real anger! Yeah? Well its because you're defending Trump from their perspective even though you don't do that No thats exactly the problem Why do you think I'm defending anything when all I'm talking? I say it multiple times. Here's what I'd like to talk about It's a dumb article he knows it isn't just one side reporting necessarily Maybe doesn't know it didn't pay a contractor on some Billy What during the building of the hospital? No, no, I'm talking about the journalist mobbed up Operations that go on in New Jersey and there's something didn't get paid Oh No what now

23:04 Yeah, what I'm talking about is... well you know what iIm talking about. Is this cognitive dissidence? Could be Because that's what I accused him of Oh In my final parting shot I said hey! I didn't comment to protect or defend anyone please reread re-read re-read You're so hyper about Trump you can't even read straight I'm marking this one up the cognitive dissonance Sorry to have... People really are uh..you know there's a lot same thing with Hillary People are very freaked about either one of these two getting in as the president. Yeah, and I can guarantee you that we're going to see blood

San Jose Protests, Violence at Trump Rallies

Violent clashes occurred outside a Donald Trump rally in San Jose, California, where protesters reportedly assaulted supporters and burned American flags. Media coverage from CNN and other outlets is scrutinized for its characterization of the events, with some commentators downplaying the severity of the physical altercations. Claims are made regarding the financial involvement of George Soros in funding anti-Trump protest organizations.

san jose· donald trump· cnn· george soros· political violence

23:46 Before we have a president, but it will be at the Democratic Convention. It's not going to be with anything was Republicans except for of course the outsiders in the Soros folks that are gonna be Targeting the Republicans, but that's gonna be so that's gonna be insincere well listen to this It wasn't San Jose the sincere stuff is gonna be and you're right here the DNC listen to this This is a little little quick hit on CNN with two bin and And who's that? Beckle, Bob Beckle. He's a political shill but now they're talking... So we've seen violence during the preliminaries. We've seen people getting sucker punched. I'll just say what people saw whether it was true or not. Sucker punch Trump supporters, sucker punched the guy. What else do we have? What other violence did we have? Well, we had a lot of it in fact, I have a long clip if you want to get into the violence.

24:38 Yes, after I played the clip from CNN who you'll recall when there was one person got hit in the face We'll call it a sucker punch. It was it was the lead for days is it was okay now we have video of people accosting people, throwing eggs at them spitting at them throwing punches. You know we see people who are bloody and the people happen to be people who wanted to go into that were either coming in or coming out of going into a coming out of the Trump rally but this is a San Jose. This is now how CNN characterizes what happened.

25:25 We have a percentage of people who are just very angry and out of control, and that's what you see. Nothing he said can be responsible for third-party actions of people jumping on cars beating a Trump supporter to a pulp burning American flags there is no excuse for that ever and words cannot provoke that and should not provoke that Jeff unless you want to jump in here I will move on. Well, I just like to say let's not get carried away... In the United States this kind of protest has gone on for hundreds of years it is not that big a deal. A bunch of people like the guy got his hat knocked off I shouldn't have his hat knocked off. The last guy who got his hat knocked off and picked it up and tried to get it back was beaten to a pulp, and was taken off the scene with blood rushing down his face that's what happened to the last guy who tried to get his hat back. I think he was in Coast Domestic California

26:15 Yeah, I mean there have been tens of thousands of people at these rallies. One person getting hurt is unacceptable but it's one person...I just don't think anybody should you know can think that this is a bigger deal than it is. Okay but I misunderstood the previous time that happened then. It was quite odd Not a big deal. It's just not a big and did you see the video of the white kid being chased and tackled to the ground by the black kid? Yeah, that was great. Are you kidding me? It was almost as though once the black kid tackle him then it was done

26:53 Oh man, oh man. That's so funny. Yeah I saw that they showed most of it there seemed to be one crew shooting most of the stuff but it was the same... this was the group you talked about though or the groups you talked about on the last show that all trace back to Soros? Yeah he's funding every single bit of this and before we continue just let me say- And hold on how come nobody except you have ever mentioned this connection And this includes Glenn Beck. Glenn Beck, when he was on Fox would do nothing but draw arrows all over blackboards all pointing to Soros. But he won't do it now! Well... This morning I woke up and of course i had seen Hillary Clinton's foreign policy speech and the only thing I wanted to say was

CHAPTER 07 / 36 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Foreign Policy Speech and Nuclear Codes

Hillary Clinton delivered a foreign policy speech in San Diego framing Donald Trump as temperamentally unfit to control the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Media outlets, including CBS News and journalist Carl Bernstein, characterized the speech as a "psychiatric indictment" of Trump. The discussion clarifies the "two-person rule" for nuclear launches and references a historical incident where Bill Clinton allegedly lost the "biscuit" launch codes.

hillary clinton· san diego· nuclear codes· carl bernstein· cbs news

27:38 To the professor and his wife, I love you guys. You know let's not get all crazy here. Let's just chill F out Okay, I love you man. No it's unnecessary Unnecessary yeah And by the way I hold you guys in your space of wanting to wanting healer that's fine That's I don't love you any less. I'm not trying to convince you to change That's how relationships break so actually there is no... they don't want me to change That's no fun. In fact, don't you know I don't want you to change? I hope they listen up to this point anyway. Yeah they've already hung it out. So here's some math that really appears to be collusion we have Hillary Clinton doing her foreign policy speech which was really about how Trump is not fit for foreign policy but the media wow

28:33 They really just, you know they all kind of had the same talking points. Actually I have this is Bernstein he's a famous guy right? Bernstein Carl Bernstein yeah very famous guy and well no i'm sorry i'm gonna start different i'll start with CBS the CBS morning show and this is where it's headed this is the...I think it's a coordinated effort CBS would be at the ground zero because they're the ones that are, according to Bernstein's own 1997... Now this is not Bernstein. This is not Bernstein. No I'm just saying according to Bernstein CBS is the point man for the CIA Here we go Is this perhaps a turning point for the Clinton campaign in terms of the way she ridiculed

29:24 Donald Trump right it absolutely is yesterday was pivotal. Yesterday's speech was not really a foreign policy speech It was more like a psychiatric indictment of her opponent It was a point-by-point indictment using his own words as evidence against him I think she quoted in 41 separate times the word using his words against them and the idea that he is fit right to command to be commander-in-chief Right, right and control the nuclear codes. I Think that what she's gonna do over the next five months is keep hammering that point home That this man is is not mentally stable here was a candidate saying I am sane and he is insane now This is what it's going to be about you and and I don't think this is the intent This was not

30:10 the Clinton campaign's intent, but I see the mainstream media who are pretty dumb. You give them a kick in the right direction they get inertia and just keep rolling whatever you tell them to do They're gonna go after Trump as insane, mentally ill You watch because that's good. And I think you're right, they're gonna have analysis and all he can't speak right now we go to Bernstein who had some refreshing things to say We are talking about a maximum leader an authoritarian We've never had anything like this in our history and the question is are we which i think is not true? We've talked about that right? We've had guys like no Woodrow Wilson would be a top prime example. Yeah

30:48 You're an authoritarian. We've never had anything like this in our history and the question is are we going to elect a president of the United States who is a thuggish maximum leader who operates in total contradiction, disrespect and disdain for our history and our constitutional traditions? But Carl I love the constitutional traditions what is that What is a constitutional tradition? I don't know. He doesn't explain it. No, that seems like something that isn't very well... Is it droning? Droning American citizens would that be it yeah? Searching people's

31:29 personal crap just because it's digital. Yeah, yeah. Listening in on wiretapping everybody? Sounds like constitutional traditions to me! Disdain for our history and our constitutional traditions. But Carl- Many Republicans have been the first to recognize this but many Republicans are also ignoring and mitigating these qualities you're pointing out as your opinion of Donald Trump because of what they believe about Hillary Clinton. And this inspector general report, well from the left you'll say well the inspector general said uh... the emails nothing illegal and that no laws were broken on the other side a lot of people who are looking for an alternative to her saying it shows everything they want by the way sorry?

32:12 In that report they never said there's nothing illegal, no laws were broken. No of course they didn't say that but it's even better because Bernstein cuts right to the chase and I appreciate him for this. People who are looking for an alternative to her say it shows everything they want let's put up the findings in the IG report uh...that the idea that she asked for permission for this is sketchy at best. That the personal server made it different You know than anything that had been done before. Let's cut to the chase, let's cut to the chase She's lied about this There is no question about it whether you quote me you quote Chuck Todd on MSNBC or Andrea Mitchell she has And and it's an awful thing and at the same time you got to ask about Donald Trump's lying Who was the bigger liar here? But the real question is about

32:59 What kind of president do we have a president in the tradition of our constitutional principles in this country? Which any of the Democratic nominees whether it's Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders represent there are independent candidates who represent that But the question of Donald Trump is the underlying question In our history, and this election. And that's what its going to be decided on I believe Now, the real message that is trying to be pushed is you don't want it first. It was first you don't want his hand on the button and now it's become you don't want him having well I think people are saying his hand on the nuclear codes actually

33:41 Which also shows a very huge lack of knowledge of how our nuclear armament system actually works. It's always a two-person rule, you can't... the president does not issue the codes and shit goes off. No, he has to take that with the Secretary of Defense and they have to convince the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And then there's a two-man launch sequence everywhere there is something to be launched. It's not that simple. By the way your husband, Ms Clinton, Secretary Clinton lost the codes for several months when he was president this is fact this record so called biscuit just lost it

34:23 Yeah, or the football I thought was cool. No no the biscuit is it's like a credit card and you break it open and only the president apparently knows which... It probably was found inside someone He's probably using to cut up lines yeah there ya go Bill who knows but that so that is the uh that is the messaging You don't want his hand on the codes because of course The President Of America Is The President Of The World But the media will probably go more with he's mentally ill. Yeah, I think that's what they're gonna try to do The problem is right now the media is an actual influence in so far as their audience It's...I think and I think Trump played to this which is And in fact even your professor buddy mentioned it

CHAPTER 08 / 36 Discussion

Voter Turnout, Media Influence and Conspiracy Theories

Analysis of the 2016 election suggests that high turnout among previously disengaged voters could decide the outcome. The segment critiques the general public's lack of political knowledge, citing "man on the street" segments from late-night television. Additionally, the term "conspiracy theorist" is discussed as a label used to dismiss claims about organized funding for political protesters.

voter turnout· jimmy kimmel· george soros· conspiracy theory· mainstream media

35:20 There's a lot of preaching to the choir. Yeah, absolutely! So the winner of this election is going to be someone like Trump who gets these newbies to come out and vote and I think that was picked up on a very early clip we did couple months ago where that guy says, I haven't voted for anybody since Ronald Reagan but i'm voting again, I'm voting now And Trump has hinted at that he's brought more people out. Absolutely! Because, you know we only get 40% of the people vote so there is 60 percent of the people sitting around on their butts that could vote I mean they could elect anybody if you get them to come out or at least a good portion of them

35:58 And they're not listening to the, you know... They're not listening. All the stuff we discuss on this show and it's proven like almost nightly on The Jimmy Kimmel Show when they go out on the street and ask people the simplest of questions, they don't know anything! They don't watch the news, they don't read newspapers, they have a Facebook account then they just talk amongst themselves. Well this Justin from Salon magazine, maybe Donald Trump has really lost his mind. What if the GOP frontrunner isn't crazy but simply not well? And they go into a whole analysis of that he's insane. And who reads Salon? That's another one I don't know. I do you do yeah the left-wing people that are haters it's a very leftist publication

36:54 I mean, when you find something that's middle of the road or non-socialist is pretty rare. It does happen. So let's play a couple of these longer sessions where the news media goes off on Trump in one way or another and let's start with... And it really is one of the most fascinating times to be involved in unraveling the media It is mind-boggling how this is playing out. Well, what's intriguing to me are things like the Soros connection that nobody is discussing! It's all his NGOs that are showing up with their signs... It says if we're the only two guys

37:41 Paying attention and again the guy who was always pointing the finger at Soros to bring it up again which is Glenn Beck. He hates Trump to such an extreme he won't even bring Soros into it, that's the reason. And you're right he was always the guy with with the blackboard and all the arrows pointing back towards Soros. Yeah, he was the Soros guy but now nothing. In fact I don't even notice that uh... that The Seed Guy is discussing this He might be. Yeah i'm pretty sure- oh I'm sure A lot of alternative media are discussing the Soros connection But at this point you know Even before you get the O out of So people go like, ah! Conspiracy theorist

38:26 Hey, you got an organization. It's at the event they're holding signs the organization is funded by Soros where's the conspiracy? That is definition of a conspiracy Soros and then the protesters and probably another party might be the Democratic Party are conspiring No they're not That's the point of it. People always like to call it conspiracy, but they're not conspiring...they're just doing! Okay they're being hired you're right they're hiring not conspiring yeah they're hiring. Here's some money go punch some guy in the face although there is no conspiracy involved A conspiracy definition is really working together breathing together as the real root word conspire doesn't matter what it means today is crazy nut job that's what it means

CHAPTER 09 / 36 Discussion

Trump University, Judge Gonzalo Curiel Controversy

Donald Trump faced criticism for claiming that Judge Gonzalo Curiel's Mexican heritage represents a conflict of interest in the Trump University lawsuit. While Curiel was born in Indiana, Trump argued that his membership in Hispanic legal associations makes him biased. Media reports from ABC News and CNN debated whether these comments meet the definition of racism or constitute a legal argument for recusal.

donald trump· gonzalo curiel· trump university· racism· abc news

39:19 So let's play this clip. This is the violence in San Jose, which I believe is the one that most people are re-reporting. This is on...I believe it was the ABC report. The violence in San Jose transitioned to Trump and a judge! Now after your thesis about the insanity thing, this is... Making sense. I think it's going to make more sense. Now, to the new fallout this evening after those violent and bloody clashes in California outside a Donald Trump event. Protesters attacking Trump supporters. Those supporters were targeted as they left the convention center in San Jose overnight some punched some chased down and beaten others had bottles thrown at them just a short time ago Donald Trump addressing the violence ABC's Tom Yamas is In California

40:05 Tonight, Donald Trump condemning the protesters behind those bloody attacks on his supporters. They walk out and they get accosted by a bunch of thugs burning the American flag and you know what? They are their thugs! Anti-Trump protesters hunting down... Hold on a second stop stop Now, I want you to listen to the way Yamas in particular who's been insulted by Trump is going to go do this sort of thing. And i'm gonna point out what he just did He re-edited the diatribe that Trump was talking at the Reading airport and what he did if you go back and listen to it

40:47 two different segments together or even the same segment twice to make Trump sound a little nutty by saying, you know the thing is they had their burning American flag there thugs and then they came around that thugs as if he forgot. You know, as if Trump forgot that he already called them thugs. He's calling him thugs again because he's losing his mind because it was edited together that way? Yeah. And I think we're going to see more of this. Now that you mentioned this thesis, and I noticed it now because when i heard that the first time I said yeah that was a bad edit but now I realize they're doing it on purpose and there's other examples of it as we listen to these reports. By a bunch of thugs burning the American

41:31 flag and you know what they are their son yeah you're absolutely right absolutely right anti-trump protesters hunting down the very people who back Trump anti-trump protesters I would be I think it'll be Trump protesters to be official about it I don't want to be a dick, but I think it would be Trump protesters. Protesters hunting down the very people who backed Trump pelting a woman with eggs. Oh my God! And by the way, The Thug thing of course is put in there to show racism at the same time as you know during Baltimore was... Right The Thug thing was... Yeah It was Thug. Thug means black. Thug is black, your racist. Hunting down the very people who backed Trump pelting a woman with eggs.

42:16 surrounding this man trying to get away. Other Trump supporters beaten. What happened? I was walking on the street and this guy like sucker punched me in the back of the head The protesters shaking cars, breaking taillights Police on hand but it seems that they didn't act quickly enough If at all...I didn't see anyone getting arrested or anyone No they did nothing. I didn't see anything At least that was definitely a scheme.

42:59 So they pull that clip out and they isolate, that's an ISO. That makes Trump seem like an idiot. It would have been better if he said hey the black is here! That would have been even funnier. The black? Hey look at my black over here yeah one black guy is what it sounds like we don't know there could have been a group of them they could be guys all over him may have been friendly edited for effect. The sad thing is Trump goes politically correct by saying look am I African-American But then it just sounds like my African American, which makes him sound like a slave owner. Plantation guy What is he thinking? What did... what is he thinking? Just stream of consciousness It's so wrong! Calling out one man in the crowd Look at my African-American over here look at him

43:50 I can't get over that. You gotta give Yama's credit for coming up with the best. I can't, I can't get over that but you can't give Trump credit for anything on that. That is someone who has zero filters enabled. Zero! because you just know that's going to stir up some crap. Oh, look at my African American over here! I'm just gonna walk through the street of Austin and try tha- Hey hey my African American over there how are you doing brother? How ya doin'? Hey man that ain't cool put that piece back Look at him Are you the greatest? Do you know what I'm talking about?! But now Trump is embroiled in a new racially charged controversy. Attacking a federal judge because he's Mexican-American, Judge Gonzalo Curiel who was born in Indiana and as a US citizen presides over one of the lawsuits against Trump University Have a judge who is a hater of Donald Trump A hater

44:43 He's a hater. The judge, who happens to be we believe Mexican which is great I think that's fine But Trump now says the judges Mexican background should disqualify him from the case telling the New York Times I have a Mexican judge he's of Mexican heritage he should've recused himself Trump calling that a conflict of interest and tonight doubling down on CNN If you are saying he can't do his job because of his race Is that not the definition of racism? I don't think so at all. No, no That is not racism that is speech that's not racism Racism would be if the judge indeed Was doing it because Donald Trump is white and hates Mexicans then it would be racism. I don't think just saying that as racism is it oh

CHAPTER 10 / 36 Discussion

Global Racial Tensions, Netherlands and Electronic Money

Racial tensions in the Netherlands are highlighted, specifically regarding the "Zwarte Piet" (Black Pete) tradition and new political movements led by minority figures. The discussion posits that global focus on racial conflict may serve as a distraction while governments transition to fully electronic monetary systems for increased social control.

netherlands· swarta pete· racism· electronic money· social control

45:32 I don't know what... this is like baffling to me. The racism accusations for everything have just gone off the rails and uh... Whereas you know where racism is really happening? In the Netherlands! That's where there is shit going on my brother right now, there's a new party with this former TV host who happens to be black Brown. She's beautiful, beautiful color. Beautiful! I love my beautiful color. I gotta start talking like that. This is good. And so part of this goes back to the damn Swarta Pete thing... The Black Peets and now people are losing their crap over it. This racism thing appears to be a worldwide rollout or something Let's just make sure everyone calls somebody else racist

46:29 And then meanwhile, we'll screw them and put them on electronic money. And they'll wake up one day when they're done yelling- when they're tired of yelling racist at each other and they'll be completely controlled! Something like that was definitely screwy. Let me play... I want to hear the rest your clip. And tonight doubling down on CNN if you are saying he can't do his job because of his race Is that not the definition of racism? I don't think so at all. No, no he's proud of his heritage I respect him for you saying he can't do his job because of it look He's proud of this heritage okay. I'm building a wall this judge is giving us unfair rules now. I say why Well, I want to build a wall okay And it's a wall between Mexico not another country if you see my he's not from my opinion from Indiana Mexican heritage and he's very proud of it alright, so

CHAPTER 11 / 36 Discussion

RNC Sponsorships, Corporate Distancing from Trump

Major corporations including Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and Hewlett-Packard have reduced or altered their sponsorship levels for the Republican National Convention. The civil rights group Color of Change has actively pressured Fortune 500 companies to distance themselves from Donald Trump's rhetoric. CBS News reports that despite these withdrawals, the RNC host committee has raised nearly 90% of its required budget.

rnc· coca-cola· microsoft· color of change· cbs news

47:19 This I also think is not a smart move by Trump, but I don't understand it. Did he get Wrangled into this or is this just makes no sense You can say the judge should recuse himself because he doesn't like me and the judge did make some mistakes with releasing stuff He shouldn't have But this seems like I don't know He doesn't want to go down to the nitty-gritty and make the kinds of normal arguments that people would make. And I think a lot of this goes back to trying to figure out what Scott Adams was getting at... Oh, right about his power, his tools and persuasion. About how he does things. Yeah. So I'm not going to say you know, I'm not gonna second guess what he's trying to do. You're saying that Scott is correct?

48:08 Adams oh that it's all part of a larger persuasive plan Yeah, there's a third tack track. That is being tried out so we have mentally ill we have What was the other one unfit no? No that's that's the mentally ill unfit okay the other finger on the button hands on the nuclear codes and This one I thought was very creative, although...I thought it was kind of wussy of CBS not to take it all the way. They just kept in a certain realm you'll hear what I'm talking about. Donald Trump's inflammatory comments have been a staple of his candidacy. The only card she has is the woman's card she's got nothing else going and frankly if

48:54 If Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she'd get 5% of the vote. And now that he's the presumptive Republican nominee some corporate sponsors are distancing themselves from the Republican National Convention Trying to get his attention with that Oh you're alienating the sponsors but What sponsors do they have at the convention? Well apparently quite a few There is a list here Now if what i had hoped they would say was Sponsors don't want pony up for the debates. Because that's really what they want to say, like oh man Trump is hurting the money flow because that would get everyone's attention including Trump I think but no they keep it at the convention which yes is sponsored. Color of Change is a civil rights group trying to get sponsors to drop out. Aha you see?

49:44 And this is an interesting group, Color of Change. This moment is about corporations making a very clear decision about connecting their money and their resources to the type of hate that Donald Trump has been selling America That is the CEO of Colors Of Change Formerly he ran GLAAD Which is the gay lesbian? Yeah, I know. I also thought oh yeah that sounds plausible. Hewlett-Packard is one past participant that won't be playing a part this summer According to Color of Change, the company provided over $556,000 in cash and in-kind donations four years ago. Microsoft another RNC donor in 2012 won't be contributing this time just technical services and product Coca Cola which gave six hundred sixty thousand dollars four years ago donated just seventy five thousand dollars this year. Brands are being very cautious around their messaging for these conventions because if they back away from the RNC that's problematic too

50:45 Advertising age managing editor Natalie Zamuda says the political convention still attract large audiences. Marketers don't want to be involved with negativity and don't want to be associated with a convention that potentially is perceived as alienating some audiences. Zamuda notes many sponsorships are locked up in advance Google is still an RNC sponsor, so is Facebook which says its involvement is a matter of civic duty If any employee of a major Fortune 500 company went into work and said the things that Donald Trump says on the campaign trail, they'd be fired. Most of the companies we spoke with stressed him! He's trying to deliver a line this guy but he doesn't understand the way it was written as you're supposed to...

51:30 Play it off like Apprentice. He would be fired! That's how you want to read the line. Donald Trump says on the campaign trail, they'd be fired. Most of the companies we spoke with stressed their decisions were nonpartisan The Trump campaign did not respond to requests for comment and Gail, the RNC host committee told CBS this morning that it has raised nearly 90% of its budget I know a little bit about the media business and this report would have not made it on the air without very, very crucial analysis by senior executives. Particularly because they're naming names Coca-Cola you don't say anything about Coca-Cola unless you know exactly what you're saying because they will pull advertising from you if they don't like your message

52:16 Absolutely. So there is something like... All those big companies. It could also be, in this case CBS sending a message like you know you really should up your ad buys Coca-Cola or maybe you don't want to put in a bad light I dunno! Could go either way. Oh it's possible. But Coca-Cola they're spending something You don't wanna piss off Coca-Cola Or the telcos for that reason Or the drug companies. By actually doing a story about the corruption in the pharma industry. Notice how Pharma and Telecom are not in that list Yeah, yeah So that's where I'm at. I'm just looking to see what the media will take and run with? I think the media really likes his insane angle

CHAPTER 12 / 36 Discussion

Media Messaging, Trump Insanity Angle

Mainstream media outlets and publications like Salon are increasingly adopting a narrative that Donald Trump is mentally ill or "barking mad." Hillary Clinton's campaign has utilized quotes from foreign leaders to bolster this image. The segment also notes Trump's controversial praise for authoritarian leaders such as Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin, which the media uses to question his fitness for office.

salon magazine· trevor noah· kim jong-un· vladimir putin· media bias

53:19 I think that's it. Well, it sounds like from what you've developed yes and I think they can... It's going to be interesting to see how they handle this because It's just gonna be interesting, because Trump is going to go out when he starts to go after Hillary. The way I think he is going deal with Hillary...because she's gonna stick with her. She's not gonna have a lot of variety. She's gonna have one or two talking points which are very well presented. I listened to that speech in its entirety and she's very plodding. That's one of those things where she plods along, talks very slowly and deliberately, and she has her talking points. And the talking points are obvious. And you had them in your clip.

53:58 And so she's going to do this, but what he is going to do is go after the Clinton Foundation and her husband and a bunch of other things. To force her on the defensive because if he gets her on the defensive then he can keep her there. So she'll be playing a defensive game and everything will look like sour grapes when she pulls out her talking points. Because well what about this situation here Ms Secretary? Well, Trump's insane. I mean it's just not gonna work out. We'll see but let's listen to some more of these slams especially from CBS. Would you please please not use that word please? That's been the lower third on my TV for the past three four days

54:44 Clinton slams Trump. Trump slammed, slammed! Slammed, slammed, slammed! Oh my God! Slammed! I tell you it's slammed! I get it, I get it, jeez...I've never seen one of these but okay This is CBS' Trump bash What an old-fashioned word to use don't you know the style guide calls for SLAM? Trump bashed Jordan Week If you can interrupt this as necessary Okay It was an extraordinary moment today. Hillary Clinton warned that Donald Trump could lead America into nuclear war on a whim, even by the standards of this election year her foreign policy speech was incendiary President Lyndon Johnson left it to an ad a half century ago to say what he could not apply that Barry Goldwater shouldn't be trusted with the bomb

55:39 Nancy Cordes is with Clinton in San Diego. Before we go there, so you remember the Goldwater period? Was it like this where people were in the news saying oh my god we can't have this guy with his finger on a button? Yeah The person that Republicans have nominated for president cannot do the job In a speech that was deadly serious one moment and humorous the next Stop a second I should mention that in 1964, There was a you know we had an huge enemy called the Soviet Union that who we weren't getting along with and their Sabre rattling was going every which way so it was at the end This is right after the kids were all into the duck-and-covered. I guess there's a different moment in time nowadays We don't okay, what's he gonna do with those codes? Yeah? I mean they Millennials Don't even know what to thing it as all of us we knew or that It was the ruskies you know these days like Muslims don't do that

56:38 Yeah, what's he gonna do? Serious one moment and humorous the next. Clinton argued Trump's temperament makes him unfit to lead the free world Donald Trump's ideas aren't just different they are dangerously incoherent They're not even really ideas Just a series of bizarre rants personal feuds and outright lies This is not someone who should ever... What is the point of yelling when someone says that? It happens at Trump rallies too. I just want to point out some odd human behavior, when you say someone's shit people go... There is a right and this it's weird now there there is a clip by now as I wanna finish this

57:38 I just want to say something coming up because you're going to run right into it. There is a clip coming that will have another edit of Trump, same way they did on ABC so it's spliced together to make him sound like a lunatic. You'll notice it. This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear code. You know, you don't need to do much editing to make Donald Trump sound like a lunatic he's kind of made for it I agree with that except if you actually listen to one of those hour-long speeches He doesn't sound as much Like a lunatic as if you start editing him in fact

58:20 When Jimmy, I think it's Kimmel when he does this the Trump slowdown like on half speed. Yeah? I Think Trump is actually makes more sense when you play him at slow speed He's just as funny he really just he may be now You can hear because then you hear the words that he read repeats and doesn't cut Complete it's very interesting someone who should ever have the nuclear codes because it's not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin. That is kind of horrible thing to say

59:05 It is, but I can tell you that you could just know there was a meeting after meeting after meeting trying to strategize what to do and this little spiel that you just heard came out of that meeting. Oh yeah! There's the way to go we're gonna do this okay? Can you do this Hill? Can you manage to do this? Yeah, you know what we need to combine it That's really what it is And by the way Wait let me finish the thought Of course With it for the park the broomsticks outside. No here is this is the plan You don't want his hand on the codes, and he's insane you Don't want an insane man a madman muhahahaha that's that is that will be the image we're going to bring up Trump okay cartoon coming up cartoon syndicated trump stroking a white pussy with a Muhahahaha laugh

1:00:04 I like it. She said Trump lacks the knowledge to be commander in chief. Knowledge! I know more about ISIS than the generals do, believe me. Citing his seemingly cavalier attitude about torture... Waterboarding is fine. And about conflicts with other countries So they say oh you'll start a trade war? You know what when you're losing that kind of money who the hell cares?! There's no risk people losing their lives if you blow up a golf course deal Good one! Who's writing for her? We gotta find out. I don't know, but they're good. Yeah they're very good. I always wonder what happened to the good guys at The Daily Show once they brought that Trevor Noah on... They went right to Hillary.

1:00:51 The former Secretary of State brought up the many foreign leaders who have mocked Trump, describing him as quote dumb and barking mad. A man who changes opinions like the rest of us change underwear. Whose quote was that? That last one is from Denmark Denmark the happiest place on earth because it's all working mad one was from New Zealand New Zealand where sheep look scared Denmark is the happiest place on earth. Also, yeah highest amount of SSRIs. They never asked a Dane about this. Trump has drawn praise from state-run media in communist North Korea which called him wise and farsighted this week after he complimented their leader You know this must make Uncle Don's head boil I don't know how he does it He's got to be thinking finally someone who wants to talk and try and work this out but damnit It's Trump what am i gonna do?

1:01:53 That's tough. He said you've got to give Kim Jong-un credit for taking over North Korea, something he did by murdering everyone he saw as a threat including his own uncle. Didn't feed his uncle to the dogs which turned out to be... Dogs or shot him with a huge gun. Give him the cannon? Cannon! Turned out to be completely not true but okay and he said if he were grading Vladimir Putin as a leader he'd give them an A now I I will leave it to the psychiatrist to explain his affection for tyrants. Nice one! I'm gonna give you a clip of the day for that one, just make me happy.

CHAPTER 13 / 36 Discussion

Military Procurement, San Diego Campaign Rhetoric

During a campaign stop in San Diego, Hillary Clinton attacked Donald Trump's stance on the military and nuclear proliferation in Asia. Trump's past comments describing the military as a "disaster" were framed by CBS reporter Nancy Cordes as an insult to service members. Trump responded by clarifying his criticisms focus on corrupt procurement processes and the need for allies like Japan and South Korea to pay more for defense.

san diego· nancy cordes· major garrett· military· nuclear weapons

1:02:37 Nice. I'm glad that you brought the other thing up because now everything makes a lot more sense Clinton has begun to frame this race less as a choice between left and right than between steadiness and flakiness She gave the speech here in San Diego Scott because it's home to more than 100,000 members of the military The military Trump has described as a disaster Nancy Cordes reporting for us Trump was quick to react in major Garrett covering his camp. Ah Major Hillary Clinton who lies I mean she lies you remember that I started that she lies It's not hard to pin the label on the donkey is it now She lies

1:03:25 Oh man, thank you. Thank you Lord for bringing these people to us Who lies? I mean she lies! You remember that I started that- No man, what would be a great show it's too bad they hate each other so much What Wow come on There is only one other person who speaks as crazy as uh Where is it? Okay spin it back and then I'll find it for ya Hold on a second here we go Leave it to the psychiatrist to explain his affection for tyrants.

1:04:02 Clinton has begun to frame this race less as a choice between left and right than between steadiness and flakiness. She gave the speech here in San Diego, Scott... Say what? That was way too far back. Oh I'm sorry. It's home to more than 100 thousand members of the military. Yeah my mistake. Trump has described it as a disaster Nancy Cordes reporting for us. Hold on a second since you stopped it there I'm gonna mention something else here is little piece of propagandistic work She gave her speech in San Diego where there's a hundred thousand members of the military and then the woman that is following Clinton as CBS operative says, A military that Trump has described as a disaster which the implication is these military men that are in San Diego are a bunch of losers. And it was very interesting to slip that in like because he

1:04:57 Because he doesn't describe the military or those men as a disaster, the way Nancy Cordes. No, as far as I know what he's been talking about is mainly the procurement process being corrupt and money being lost and so you know this again CIA to keep bringing it up but that's the CBS situation and they Trump has got to go into Langley And talk to these people. Talk to people, yeah. You see? See, it would work well those two. They should just do a show together. Lies! Classify lies! Remember that I started this... She lies! Donald Trump started reacting to Hillary Clinton's speech yesterday in political art form known as the pre-buttle. They sent me a copy of the speech and it was such lies about my foreign policy Now why would they do this? They sent him a copy of the speech before It's called a pre-buttle This is a tactic or what is this

1:06:12 Well, they do release them. Hillary thinks she's president already so when she's gonna give a speech about something like foreign policy this was her foreign policy address Yeah about Trump It wasn't just a stump speech it was a foreign policy address so she released it to the media before she gave it the way the President did Okay, I got it. That's why they had everything ready to go saying, you know, oh slam Trump! Oh boy showed him that's what's going on. I got ya. Yeah and it was all ready to go as the other packages could be made in advance lies about my foreign policy that

1:06:50 They said, I want Japan to nuke.

Political Monikers, Dave Winer Blog Analysis

The effectiveness of the "Crooked Hillary" moniker is debated, with suggestions that the media inadvertently reinforces the label by repeating it. A blog post by Dave Winer is analyzed, which argues that Clinton's San Diego speech was a pivotal moment that successfully "embraced the madness" of the Trump campaign. The text suggests the U.S. establishment is necessary to maintain the dollar's status as the global reserve currency.

Because this is just a nasty thing to call her even if Trump does it why do you have to quote him? It just doesn't make sense. They are screwing up

1:08:37 Well, it wouldn't be the first time her campaign screwed up. Well no I think it's not her campaign but whoever is behind promoting her and the networks because...I saw one of the other day where one of the networks was going Crooked Hillary, Crooked Hillary and they're just pushing that meme right into the mainstream unknowingly it seems to me. If we take the political shows at face value, the ones we see West Wing House of Cards I believe there's a lot of what we see is probably the way it works. Then these people, particularly when it's about campaigning... What was the other? Veep, Madam President all these shows. Yeah right. All these shows. Mostly giving us pushing the idea of a woman. Well yeah they're pushing the idea of a woman but also showing how political campaigns work and you know that so happened to think

1:09:33 Yes, the Julie Louis Dreyfus Veep where they call you know. Oh my God we're so happy we can get this guy this political consultant I forget his name Bill oh So happy to get bill and bill comes in bills like yeah We'll take care of this and he actually has a couple successes And then they learned that bill actually has dementia and from time to time it just goes off completely does come you know? It thinks he's at a different campaign But my point is that the way elections have been running all the way through President Obama's presidency has been in a certain way, and there is no consultant you call for this type of scenario. So they're going to make mistakes definitely because it's on a whole different plane that they're fighting.

1:10:24 Yes, I agree. And they don't know quite what to do but they did have their meeting and they did do what you suggested which is put their three ideas together and let's make one of them stick that he's nuts or shouldn't be... Nuts and shouldn't have the bomb yeah exactly. In addition to Clinton, Trump has problems with prominent Republicans on his temporary ban of Muslim immigration. Scott, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said today the idea was so bad he would not draft legislation to debate it. Major Garrett Forrest, major thank you. Well the nation's top elected Republican finally gave in and endorsed Trump today House Speaker Paul Ryan had been holding out

1:11:06 Today he said that he is confident that Trump would help House Republicans turn the ideas in their agenda into laws to help improve people's lives. Perhaps a recent blog post from Dave Weiner will help us understand the thinking of people who believe this was the speech of her lifetime. This is one of the worst speeches she has ever given! Why HRC Speech Worked Hillary Clinton said all the things I was thinking as I watched Trump's interviews and speeches. Probably the things many others were thinking too

1:11:41 I said all that i could do, so did many others. But she's the only one who can say it officially and who can say at all We're lucky that he is only won the primary because then there would be no one to tell her truth about Trump The full truth slowly and carefully with poise confidence even humor but she delivered a deadpan serious as serious as heart attack Because this is reality not reality TV Her speech lets us relax. Up until that point, I honestly didn't think she or anyone else had what it took to stand up to Trump My feeling was we'd have to let the campaign run its course and hope the voters knew how to avoid disaster Now there's less to worry about because she is willing to embrace the madness and call it what it is And remind us that WE'RE BETTER This comes at a time when the press that Trump has been so good at exploiting has figured out how to challenge him! And make him look like the incoherent poser he really is

1:12:37 We're not alone in our realization. That's what we get." And after all the crying by Sanders and his supporters about the establishment, that is exactly what we need to take hold here! I don't think they get that The United States is a thing with history and presence in the world? That our standard of living such as it would be worse if weren't the dominant force on this planet? If our dollar weren't the reserve currency of the world? At one point Trump even said he might default. What kind of insanity was that?! Which he didn't say. A personal note Last year I turned seven blah blah blah What Clinton said on Thursday night was just right. The US is a strong country, we have a lot of things ripe but we must cut our losses on things that aren't working out She reminded us why she's the only person who ran for president in 2016 who was able to do the job That's exactly what I needed to hear Trump has a nightmare that is almost over He doesn't have a second act His schtick is good for TV reality show perhaps even a sitcom But being president is serious business There was a vacuum to fill and HRC filled it perfectly What a relief

Hillary Clinton, The View Interview

Hillary Clinton appeared on the daytime talk show The View to discuss her experiences campaigning in New York and how her 2016 run differs from her 2008 campaign. The interview is criticized for featuring "softball" questions, specifically the host's characterization of a basic inquiry as a "great question."

CHAPTER 17 / 36 Discussion

State Department, Video Editing Controversy

The U.S. State Department admitted to deliberately editing a 2013 press briefing video to remove a denial about secret negotiations with Iran. Spokesman Mark Toner and former spokesperson Jen Psaki have faced intense questioning from reporter Matt Lee regarding who authorized the excision. The department claims an internal inquiry reached a "dead end" despite acknowledging the content was removed by a specific editor.

state department· jen psaki· victoria nuland· matt lee· iran

1:23:47 We appreciate the work of everybody that when you go out there and propagate our formula. Our formula is this, we go out, we hit people in the mouth. Hey citizens Shut up! Shut Up! Hey um so I did some more work on the Hillary Clinton plane crash Ah right or helicopter crash Yeah and i also have a well first of all this uh this editing of the tape it's not

1:24:23 Not going away very easily. Not going away easily, of course Matt Lee is back he's the guy that really started all this and he's a guy who... Yeah you're gonna have to back up and tell people what your talking about Alright It was discovered that there were secret negotiations going on in end 2012 between the US and the new president of Iran. No, wait it was still Ahmadinejad was the president and previously there had been a question if this was happening and Victoria Nuland who was then press secretary for Secretary of State for Hillary Clinton said no she didn't say we don't talk about it from the podium what not she didn't know so then it came to light that there were several meetings although maybe not so specified but this was admitted

1:25:18 And then in this admission, the question came up. Hey was Victoria Nuland lying? And it was Jen Psaki who said no! No she wasn't lying we don't lie We don't tell untruths Now that piece where she said no She didn't lie Was edited out and Well, this is very interesting. Particularly that they came back and they said hey yeah we did it We now know that the editor was female This has been slipped into the lexicon But the editor who was female who edited this out Was asked by someone on authority of someone else Now the only people I know could make a call like that which no one would question Would be the Secretary of State herself Or possibly Newland Who at that point was deputy

1:26:11 or assistant, no deputy second in command. It was second Spock to a Spock whatever so this keeps coming up Mark Toner now taking over the State Department briefing, of course the Kirby's kind of played out. Kirby doesn't have the guts for this or the stomach he just can't take it and He's messing up so Toner is very very measured guy and has interesting things to say. Conclusion that you have reached based on the limited investigation that has been completed So far is that this stuff was deliberately removed or edited out because of what the content was? Is that correct

1:26:52 He really has to think about this. No, he is genuinely thinking about what he's going to say And he's turning the page looking for an opening line So again the question was Clearly it was the content This content was so damaging Why else would you ask it to be edited out? Matt Lee is kind of saying What's the big deal Given Based on what you know based on what we know. What is that? Well, but what is Matt Lee doing he just helped him out Yes, he did that was odd I thought that was odd too very interesting I didn't hear that before let me maybe he's maybe it's like a wrong line man You said the real or the wrong part in the script. I don't know if that was all it sounds scripted Yeah Let's just do that play that back again

1:27:50 Given, uh... Based on what you know. Based on what we know. Wow! Oh you know what it might have been? Did he say that earlier? No it might have been him yes helping him out because he knows that's the way he supposed to start that sentence He is I think doing a cutting-to-the chase thing Hey I think its an insult It's an insult to the guy Ah right right right You know what I mean? Right your lying let me help ya with your lie Yeah, yeah. Okay that makes sense. That makes sense. Based on what you know? Based on what we know... This is done with a snide sound Do you think or is there a sense in the building that was said in that edited portion was somehow embarrassing or incorrect? No and in fact I mean so two points on that one

1:28:44 Even though that portion was excised or edited, it was always available on divids. Right which makes it... The defense video and imagery distribution system so Which would make if it wasn't attempt to hide something a particularly inept attempt Precisely Sloppy And really kind of stupid And secondly We didn't view the exchange to be all that sensitive Hmm, okay. I'm not so sure why he made such a big deal out of it anyway. Jen Pataki, of course she is the one who was edited out covering up for her then boss She was happy to go on the Brolf show there and let everyone know that she had nothing to do with it Have you gone back, Jen? And looked over who-who was responsible for asking that videotape editor To remove that video That sensitive video

1:29:40 I don't have any more information than you do. This is a stunning case of poor judgment, whether that was incompetence or lack of experience... Or under the bus! It's through the editor under the bus! Yeah? Yeah, oh yeah. A lack of experience or both? I don't know the answer to that. The fact is as was stated in the previous piece, I had no involvement with the editing, I had no knowledge of this nor would I have ever approved it. As actually the Republican you referenced before, I agree with the sentiment that the whole purpose of the State Department briefing is to provide a forum to have debate and discussion with reporters from United States but all

1:30:21 over the world about a range of issues. I spent two years doing that, many of my predecessors spent even more time and this really flies in the face of that effort and something many of us spend time really believing in it and hopefully delivering on from that podium." Now of course after Jen Psaki says nope... Really, it's Vicki Newland she needs to come out that needs to say I wasn't me but i haven't heard her and I think as we drill down deeper into this were going to find out kind of where this is coming from and why was covered up. One final bit in this very transparent organization known as the State Department Public Affairs. A couple points on that first of all you know and we've said this from day one when these allegations or this incident first came to light

1:31:09 Isn't it interesting how they all default back to the language they're typically used to saying? You know, allegation. They had came out and admitted it wasn't like allegations but you could just hear the programming how they talk all the time no no this is just allegations there was nothing... But they admitted at this time! One product a video was edited we've acknowledged that and we've made steps to correct the policy going forward so that never happens again There was always a transcript available of that briefing and there was always video available of the full briefing on divots. So I understand, appreciate the tough...

1:31:52 So they all keep to keep referring back to do this or whatever it is divots divots if it's true, whatever it it's the military video archival service so This had to be something that I'm thinking here's what? I just got the top of my head. I'm thinking this This was secret meetings that were going on and there were trying they're feeling each other out the Iranians and the State Department and When somebody asked this question, it had to be while the negotiations were going on. You're jumping ahead of just a little bit because that's where... I'm just thinking that at the time... Go ahead go ahead At the time this was edited out

1:32:37 The party that it would be targeting, in other words who would hear not hear it because it was edited out... ...would not be a party that would have access or care about the archives. No, and the archives are public. By the way, the archives are public you can anyone can go to do it But nobody would go there if they're I mean not everyone's gonna go immediately say well Maybe there's some bullshit in here. I'm gonna go dig around The archives just hear this non dis edited version so okay? I'm good with that Well yeah unless you saw it because you go hold on a second was that yeah what if your intelligence agency working for the Iranians You're not gonna

1:33:17 You're not going to be doing that much work. Now, so this would have happened around December of 2012 when a secret meeting took place And I'll just go, let me finish this one clip. It's about 45 seconds and then we need to figure out if our thesis fits and why. Briefing on divots... So I understand it and I appreciate the tough questions that you all are asking us in this room and we are doing our best to answer but there is a lot of overblown rhetoric beyond this room about what happened and what transpired

1:33:58 We believe we have conducted an inquiry into what happened. We don't have the answers, ultimately why this was done or why this was requested and so like many of you were asking ourselves the same questions but we don't have any further leads to investigate So, we're at a—as I said yesterday—a bit of a dead end. But we're going to continue to as we get information more information will pursue that but what's important here is that we take steps so it doesn't happen in the future. Okay here is the timeline secret talks we now for we found out in December 2013 this was Rosen like the Fox News guy who discovered

CHAPTER 18 / 36 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, 2012 Iran Plane Crash Theory

A detailed theory explores a reported emergency landing of a U.S. plane in Ahvaz, Iran, in December 2012, potentially involving Hillary Clinton and secret negotiations. The narrative links this event to Clinton's subsequent health issues—initially described as the "Benghazi flu"—and the suspicious suicide of Navy SEAL Commander Job W. Price in Afghanistan. The theory suggests the State Department video edit was intended to scrub evidence of these clandestine diplomatic maneuvers.

hillary clinton· iran· navy seal· job price· benghazi

1:34:48 that the denial had been deleted. Yes, the denial had been deleted. In December 2012 a number of things happened... ...that were direct result of secret negotiations between US, this will say U.S., I'm not quite sure and Iran And the date in particular let me see So we have an ABC News report ABC News reported an emergency landing of a US plane in Iran. This was reported December 31st, but the report came out a week earlier. A small American commercial plane left Iran Sunday after it was repaired following an emergency landing at an Iranian airport this month The plane was forced to land 16 days ago at the airport of the southern city of Ahvaz due to technical failure

1:35:42 Mahmoud Rouzaninehjad, head of the state-owned Iran Airports Company told the TV station. Okay he said three passengers left Iran for Arab countries in the Gulf but the plane remained under repair at the airport to the plane took off from around Sunday upon arrival needed spare parts and completion of repairs it was not clear why the announcement of planes landing was not made earlier uh... the services provided through Iran etc of the service was provided, though Iran and US are at odds over Tehran's suspected nuclear program. The West believes it might be aimed at weapons development a charge Iran denies." Then we have Wall Street Journal who at the time reported secret dealings with Iran led to the nuclear talks Now what apparently happened is Hillary was going from Bahrain to Oman

1:36:34 on a C-12, which I think that's very... not sure but i think that may be like a King Air 350 or just C-12 Huron. That's not a huge plane apparently they uh what happened we do have the reports of that instead of going directly to Oman the plane deviated for an emergency landing at Abez airport where two hours before and it's a commercial airport president Ahmadinejad's airplane had landed so we presume he was there But upon landing, the way the technical report is written they exited the runway which is not good. The undercarriage collapsed and they probably flipped over but it was a bumpy landing for sure Now... The information I could find was that Hillary Clinton was badly injured she was bleeding profusely and there was

1:37:34 The Navy SEAL, actually the Navy SEAL who claimed to have killed Bin Laden. And his name... Well there's two of those. There's a couple of them. Commander Price He was US Navy SEAL Team 4. Now, what... So the conflicting reports are that he died in this crash and he did escort multiple important state officials around the region so we know he did that but instead of him showing up dead at this airport, he committed suicide in Afghanistan two days later

1:38:16 And, you know this guy's record every just none of it makes a lot of sense why he would commit suicide. Now, this is when we heard... Because Hillary was- They didn't have a lot of respect for him. If that's what they're gonna do how are they going to finish him off? Well so we're gonna get to the big questions I'm just telling you this is the timeline as I've been able to find out what happened Okay continue For our thesis Hillary was supposed to be back to testify for Benghazi but then she got the flu You remember us all she has a stomach bug and everyone was oh yeah she has the Benghazi flu That's what all the Republicans were saying Oh she has the Benghazi flu

1:38:52 Then we went from that flu into a viral infection, intestinal infection I think. And then we got the oh she fell down and a blood clot dislodged in her head And they were treating that with blood thinners. And I know we have a number of doctors, and in fact at the time... uhhhh....I don't know if i clipped that At the time there was an NBC doctor standing outside the hospital you remember she was in the hospital and everyone's like oh what is going on? And even that guy said it's kind of odd You really want to treat a blood clot with blood thinners but okay maybe something else going on we do not know Now Clinton resigned

1:39:36 not long after she got out of the hospital. But Carrie was already appointed before she officially resigned, and I found reports dating back to 2013 that say Hillary may not make it now we didn't know if it was possibly a plane crash but also take a look at the parting gift the State Department gave her they gave her a crash helmet You know, it's just all of these little things. Oh really? I didn't remember that! Yep Now around the same time when... A little humor Yeah When these talks took place there were about eight or nine different Iranian prisoners released and There was a lot of surprise about how fast they were released you know It was just like oh my this guy and it was all guys who were selling illegal arms to Iran

1:40:31 All of them smuggling arms. So they got released, five or six maybe even eight of them I'm looking for that list were released back to Iran and it was kept kind of quiet i don't remember a lot about that for sure so and I'm not quite sure why because here's where it kinda starts to break down for me I totally can see these secret talks going on. We have, we could place Ahmadinejad and possibly a US military aircraft although they say commercial in the report but you know if the president is on my plane it's Air Force One believe me that's my call sign and so Secretary of State has similar privileges

1:41:15 We did a deal. I'm just, now and now I'm just kind of hypothesizing so she went there said look we gotta get something going on and i don't know what we were coming with but we wanted something from them this nuclear deal perhaps? I'm not quite sure what it had to be And we were willing to negotiate with arms dealers and prisoners and all the kinds of stuff that is not... What do you call it? Constitutional tradition. Let's call it that, not constitute... But is that enough to have to cover this up? Because and that's why we're missing something. So I believe that Hillary said Vicky Newland let's just get that out of there. I don't want that searchable anywhere. I don't want anyone sh- I don't want that popping up but just we've got to leave that for what it is because it probably was her call to lie

1:42:13 which Newland did. So those are the only two that makes any sense, that they would make this call and oh the only two who any editor would recognize as hey that's enough for me I don't have to get into any other kind of permission. Victoria Newland and Hillary Clinton DeBosch But is that enough? What really is the reason that it was maybe it's just they covered it up and now the cover-up is more embarrassing than what they actually did. That's possible because it seems like a pretty shoddy cover up. It may have been just a casual, oh I'd like to get that out of there because that's kind of like my could buy us in the ass maybe if somebody found out we actually did something. I mean it could have been just some casual thing

1:42:54 Just edit it out. It's not a big deal kind of thing right, but now the cover-up is worse than the crime well Well now it's drawing attention to it and such an extreme Documents that show that she was flying around well how about this? But here's a question if in hindsight right now today you Let's just say there was no cover up. Even back then, if Hillary Clinton for her country we presume maybe had all kinds of back doors and deals with the Clinton Foundation irrelevant... If she risked her life and she was harmed severely why isn't she the war hero? Or you know why did this strategy chosen

1:43:41 I think it was judgment call. Democrats are freaked out about being condemned for doing these sorts of deals, especially behind closed doors unless maybe the Clinton Foundation was involved which would be... Well then that would make sense yes. Sketchy So the last thing we need right now this is the it doesn't matter what happened now if we can or I would like to do it. I'd love to be funny, but we need to connect Hillary Clinton into the editing of the tape if if we want to make this into a thesis that works. I don't think so. It has to work too well but but this is what Matt Lee smells that he smells he smells her on this yeah So how do you get that? I personally don't think it's important hmm

1:44:37 Well, from a... I'll tell you why. It makes a difference for the elections. Yeah. No? And who's gonna bust her? The only person that could bust her had to be her and Newland. That's why Newland- You notice how Newland went from being a spokeshole standing up there to being the second in command out of the blue floating around Ukraine and all the rest of it. I mean, she's probably... She's thick as thieves with Hillary! She's not gonna- she'll fall on her sword before she busts Hillary. Well now that we have Robert Kagan endorsing Hilary Clinton, I'm sure that Vicky will be very very quiet. Very quiet. So

1:45:36 You know, the messy bits are the Navy SEAL who committed suicide. Very very messy. Yeah that was poorly done. So this was December 2012 The death of Navy SEAL commander in Afghanistan is being investigated as a possible suicide military officials told ABC News today On Saturday, the Pentagon announced the death in Afghanistan of Navy Commander Job W. Price 42 of Potsdam PA. Price died Saturday with a Defense Department press release described as a non-combat related injury." Wow they got that part right! Let's see... Two military officials confirmed to ABC News Price's death is being investigated as possible suicide so we don't know oh yeah one of the officials said price was found on base with an apparent gunshot wound to his person and that's all we ever heard

1:46:31 Hmm, that's all we ever heard. Well they're screwing him over But it said It's very odd and I think there's something here and it wouldn't surprise me if If the if some press just keeps on going seems they can They want to pin it to somebody And then quite honestly it's they should have long long had a patsy yes I don't, the problem is developing a scenario around the Patsy. Yeah. Cause it's such as short thing that was removed. It would take...I don't know what kind of creative writer it would take but it would take somebody with a lot of skills cause why would you do that? Yeah. I dunno its baffling! Its baffling. Yeah. That's the problem because it's not big enough

Prince Autopsy, Fentanyl Toxicity Report

The Midwest Medical Examiner's report confirmed that the musician Prince died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl. Fentanyl is described as a synthetic opioid significantly more potent than morphine or heroin. Law enforcement continues to investigate the source of the medication to determine if it was obtained through legal prescriptions or illicit channels.

prince· fentanyl· opioid crisis· medical examiner· overdose

1:47:35 Edit to make it you could come up with all kinds of good stories. Yeah If it was more to it, yeah, there's a big screw-up. It'll be funny to watch And now, back to Real News. What killed Prince is no longer a mystery it is spelled out in black and white from the Midwest Medical Examiner's report It's just a page long but it gives us both the cause and manner of death which is what the law requires nothing more than that The manner of death was an accident They said that Prince self-administered fentanyl and he died from Fentanyl toxicity What is fentanyl? It is the strongest opioid based painkiller on the market

1:48:14 It is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine and 25 to 50 times stronger than heroin. I'm thinking this is an ad, this is a native ad right here! Come on everybody get your fentanyl! Sounds like it And notice they do not use the clinical...the brand names obviously Fentora drug...what is it? Actic There's a couple of them. Fin fin. Yeah, there's a patch is a patch my land at Sandos yeah There's tons of this stuff We're talking about a really potent painkiller what we do not yet know is exactly how Prince got it Was he prescribed fentanyl by a doctor or?

1:48:55 Or did he get it some other way? And that is what law enforcement will be still looking into because there is. What's that online, online Canada still an investigation going on into why Prince died and how he was able to get a hold of some of these medications if they turn out not to be legal then this will change into a criminal investigation we know that the law enforcement officials and law enforcement has been talking to people around prince they've also been talking Well, there you go. That will be the story I wish kids would all be thinking about this instead of

Muhammad Ali, Elvis Presley and Vietnam Draft

Following the death of Muhammad Ali, his legacy is compared to Elvis Presley, specifically regarding how the U.S. government used the military draft to manage "societal disruptors." The discussion notes that Ali's physical decline was significantly impacted by his fights with Joe Frazier, particularly the "Thrilla in Manila." Frazier's aggressive boxing style is credited with causing the brain damage Ali suffered later in life.

muhammad ali· elvis presley· joe frazier· vietnam war· brain damage

1:49:53 Yeah, which doctor did it now the hub this stuff is killing you period Prince they doing prince Mr.. Clean yeah, that's a funny good funny ironic It was kind of the same thing Elvis Presley was the same thing he was uh He felt that I've been doing some research on Elvis Presley for something. I know what you're doing and he was the same way. He wouldn't take drugs, wouldn't drink, but apparently felt that if a doctor prescribed it then that's not a drug...it's a prescription. While we're talking about heroes like that your thoughts on Muhammad Ali? Since this is all we are seeing on television Is there an actual story you'd like to relate that could be handy for our producers at the next dinner party

1:50:50 Not really. I mean, I do think that he was as I mentioned the newsletter kind of taken out of the game for a while because He was another one of these guys Elvis Presley was another one didn't want to go to Vietnam. It's been won a fight But he didn't want to go to Vietnam but Presley did join the army when he was drafted but this every time this society during especially during these eras Back you know 20 years ago 30 years ago 40 years ago When somebody came up and doing societal disruption, which is definitely was the case with rock and roll. And especially Elvis you had to take him out of the picture so you drafted him there's really no reason to draft a guy like that in the same thing with Muhammad Ali he was period as though the disruptions that were taking place during his era when he had something to do with it because the way he was he was uppity.

1:51:40 that's which your body is absolutely the best it can ever be in terms of that you can maintain it, but the best that ever can be at age 27. We never got to watch Muhammad Ali's body at age 27. It was always before and after I do remember getting up in the middle of night though to watch The Thrilla in Manila

1:52:19 I saw that fight too. One of those fights with Joe Frazier is the one that damaged him, Joe Frazier who i got to meet once and chat with it was a very he's really interesting character He beat the crap out of Ali. That's when he was doing rope adobe and I was letting Frazier punch himself out, but he was punching himself out by pounding him! You know? And if you watch those Frazier fights, you can see that Muhammad Ali was brain damaged by Frazier And if you look at Frazier, which is an interesting boxer. He's very much like a Mike Tyson got a lot of his style from Frazier. You just call him Smoke and Joe he'd come in and just start wailing on you. And it was a fantastic boxer anyway

Anti-Semitic Symbols, Triple Parentheses Meme

A new social media trend involves using triple parentheses, known as "echoes," around names to identify individuals as Jewish or Zionist. Originally used by anti-Semitic groups on Twitter, the symbol has been reclaimed by some Jewish users. The segment notes the rapid spread of this "code" into mainstream digital discourse.

twitter· anti-semitism· echo· zionism· social media

1:53:06 Alright. Is there a- is there an icon? For, that we can use to show our love and light for The Champ? Is there an icon? Oh! I haven't seen one crop up! It's funny. Oh oh oh oh, I gotta tell you... There's this new thing. I've already seen it in the chatroom This is- y'know If you wanna talk about just sad But there's a new thing Pete, the kids are doing on the tweeters more than the facebags Yeah Uh yeah So if you want to And actually now its coming from all sides If you want to call someone out as a Zionist or Jew, like you filthy Jew lover which they would do to you then you tweet someone's name with three parentheses around their names on each side. Okay... Why? Because that is now the signal for either that person is a Jew or that person is a Jew lover or a Zionist or Jews and

1:54:04 Why did this crop up? It's been going on for a couple of months, but I think it's kind of breaking mainstream now. I'm seeing people tweet my name with three parentheses. Oh really so there are just Jew haters! Well and now Jewish groups are doing it themselves and then there is Muslim...and everyone trying to get in so we can annihilate it. So its just a mess. Yeah, it's just a mess that uses up six valuable characters' people Your 140 and shortly anyway, so nobody cares there you go. I just thought it's just wander the character I just thought I'd bring that up in case you saw it You know I have not seen it night glad you brought me up to speed

CHAPTER 22 / 36 Discussion

Zika Virus, Funding and Global Warming

The $1.9 billion funding request to fight the Zika virus is compared to previous Ebola propaganda efforts. Comedian Bill Maher and scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson are cited for linking the spread of mosquito-borne diseases to global warming. Experts suggest rising temperatures accelerate the reproductive cycles of mosquitoes, allowing them to migrate further north into regions like Washington D.C.

zika virus· ebola· bill maher· global warming· mosquitoes

1:54:45 Well, just to keep tabs on how the propaganda is working again I'd like to reiterate that this 1.9 billion dollars was the budget for Ebola coming from a multinational a collection of non-governmental organizations and governments, and there was still money outstanding about 1.3 billion most of it from the UK who owe us about half a billion

1:55:27 but also from organizations like the Silicon Valley Friends Club, 25 million. And what's happening is all the companies this money was promised to which includes NIH $800 million going for research on a lot of scientists are looking for this money to come through and it's not happening and why is it not happening? Because the money is simply not there and everybody knows it But of course, the propaganda works and Bill Maher is all in. $1.9 billion is what President Obama asked to fight this about five months ago and the Republican Congress in all their glory said you know what we've never said yes to anything a plague is upon us still no

1:56:13 A plague is upon us. Better to have a plague than to give Obama... A plague is upon us, John! A plague is upon us. Yeah no whoever was voting against it this is bullcrap This is just handing money to friends. ...better to have a plague than to give Obama a win but its here now uh a woman in New Jersey has it they're saying there's laboratory evidence that 300 women in America or American colonies might have it I hadn't heard this I particularly like the laboratory evidence that there's 300 women who have it. What is that? It seems like quite a kind of what they have, a little Petri dish with everyone's DNA or samples people who are susceptible. You know, they were pregnant. There was a bunch of pregnant women that came in from overseas and they asked to be tested or they were tested. Yeah, there's three hundred. That's all right now. It can also be transferred orally vaginally and analyze the Holy Trinity

1:57:08 And the guy laughing the hardest, Neil deGrasse Tyson. But probably not here because we don't have water! Yay drought! Yay drought! Mosquitoes breed in water But here's what Charles Beard, the insect-borne disease expert said and I hope this will wake people up to global warming that there are so many ways it can get you. He said with rising temperatures you're speeding up the whole reproductive cycle of the mosquitoes You get larger populations with more generations and also by the way they go farther north They're in Florida now but they're gonna be in Washington DC with the rest of the bloodsuckers

1:57:51 All in though. It's all in! Yeah, of course. But also notice how no one gives two craps about the gorilla after Muhammad Ali died Yeah, this is a new cycle. It's just the way it goes. It's just done no more gorilla problems That's why I thought Muhammad was gonna step on a lot of stories People would rather talk about him because its easier and so they have reminiscences You know the same thing as like Who died and everybody was there for? Actually when Prince died all these people coming out of the woodwork They were his buddies talking to him that morning No one he was kind of a recluse

UCLA Shooting, Student Misinformation and Training

A student report from UCLA details the chaos during a recent campus shooting, noting the massive police and FBI response. The account suggests the lockdown may have been utilized as a live-action training exercise once the initial threat was contained. Significant misinformation spread among students via messaging apps, including false reports of multiple shooters with assault rifles.

ucla· active shooter· bruin alert· engineering iv· misinformation

1:58:33 I got it. I have a letter should read Oh very nice This is us boots on the ground report from UCLA ah excellent UCLA student here, I wanted to touch on a few points you made regarding the shooting first off You're absolutely correct with the number of police SWAT FBI and even ATF agents that were there? I can also vouch for John's theory that they found a shooter and decided then to turn into an exercise Most students here are subscribed to a brain, Bruin alert system that sends texts to every student when there's police training which takes place in our gym every month and also sends one in an actual emergency like this. In other words it sent a message during the emergency. Taking a look at the timeline of the alerts they don't make

1:59:20 much sense. At 9 55 a.m there was alert sent out that there was a shooting in the building known as engineering four so they did in fact know where the shooter was, The lockdown was lifted at 12 19 p.m as units were searching every single hallway with how massive the campus at UCLA is, it's understandable why it would take so long. However because of this timeline its absolutely possible they used this for an exercise The FBI also have 700 agents in a federal building just two miles down the road from the school There's also an element of how quickly and inaccurately students can spread misinformation. Obviously everyone was texting one another with the amount of false information that was spread, it was insane! Rumors ranged from things like there were four shooters on each corner of the campus with assault rifles... ...there was a shooting in the dorm... ...and there was a guy walking around with apartments- around the apartments or on the campus with an assault rifle knocking at doors... Hey John, stop for a second I read that uh

2:00:19 The implication was there was a student who shot his professor. It wasn't a love or spat, but he accused him of stealing his code and putting it into his own code or selling it or something like that. Selling it? Yeah. The guy was... Of course, he killed his wife too apparently they found her but he was just nuts. We call that collateral damage John A friend, a student of mine who was trained with the Marines Corps also mentioned that students have a serious lack of knowledge on what a gunshot sounds like. Although many of these groups messaging app systems are claiming they heard multiple gunshots, a lot of the supposed gunshots were claimed to be heard by students on total opposite side of campus

2:00:58 This highlights the stupidity of the students and the misunderstanding what a gunshot sounds like. In all fairness, students... I noticed this too. In all fairness, students don't know what is happening but on campus with bright students like this there's far too much speculation going on you'd think someone would understand what gunfire actually is." Anyway that says it was just a fiasco in summary But yeah, when I saw those videos it was just like... Yeah this guy was some sort of an insane character. And he's gonna kill another professor who had something to do with the stolen code. But he never did. Right. Anyway. Uhh..I just saw something that i wanted to mention. There is a Chicago meetup planned Oh yes! Yeah, im putting in the show notes right now because i promised i would mention this Hold on Let me paste this in okay

Oh I'm sorry I already started off my screen its in the show notes Is it next month? Oh well take a look for you then uhhhh it is June 29th end of the month oh okay plenty of time yeah I can't go because the weekend June 27 that weekend

Airbnb Discrimination, Race and Ride-Sharing

Airbnb is facing allegations of racial discrimination, leading the company to implement a "zero tolerance" policy. A segment features a user who changed her profile photo to a cityscape to avoid being declined by hosts. The hosts speculate whether similar "microaggressions" affect ride-sharing services in Texas based on surnames or perceived ethnicity.

airbnb· chris lehane· discrimination· texas· microaggressions

2:04:07 Now that we, the ride share or the TNCs was a transportation network companies. They're under attack but Airbnb is you know they're getting to two and when you want to discredit someone when you want to bring up a conversation in this country what do you do? If if you're the hotel lobby industry and your sick and tired of these guys eating your lunch What are you gonna do? Come on, John. Help me out. What are you gonna do? Go home racist! Chris Lehane is the global head of policy for Airbnb which tells the more than 80 million people who have used its service they belong anywhere It's why we took immediate action and why we have a zero tolerance policy on any type of activity like this It makes me feel terrible

2:04:48 What? Say what? Blah blah blah. The guy said, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah It's booked. I decided to stay in my place this week." You got suspicious, then what'd you do? That's when...I changed my profile. Um..I changed my photo to a cityscape in Chicago Then I shortened my name from Cortina to just Tina

2:05:32 And then after that I never had any issues. Airbnb's opponents and competitors have even seized on the issue, releasing this commercial last month. I am a black woman. I get declined all the time on Airbnb That's how you do it racist now? I have to say just thinking for a moment there Maybe what's happening with my ride shares is is these people are seeing Curry. Oh man, it's gotta be a black dude I don't want to pick him up. It's possible, it's possible Steph. Yes! It is because everyone associates Curry if you like you said you walked into the bar in New York and everyone was wearing a Curry jersey yes I'm pretty sure that I have microaggressions being performed against me You know as weird as that sounds... I think it's distinct possibility That we are in Texas after all

2:06:30 But, you know my sister is Tiffany Curry. Well you can just google Tiffany Curry or do... You can't but if you look for Tiffany Curries on Facebook there's probably about a hundred of them and they're all black except for one although jury still out she was born in Africa. Hmm. Hey-oh! You never know She had never my dad was real busy around. I mean she doesn't listen to the show No, no one listens to this show who has any brains? No of course not although the Rick Santelli he can't listen to the show

Unemployment Statistics, Shadow Stats and the Fed

The official U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 4.7%, but critics point out this was accompanied by a net loss of jobs and a decrease in labor participation. Rick Santelli of CNBC and the website ShadowStats.com argue that the real unemployment rate, when calculated using 1930s-era metrics, remains flat at approximately 22.5%. The Federal Reserve's reliance on these "public relations" numbers for fiscal policy is questioned.

unemployment· shadowstats.com· rick santelli· federal reserve· jobs report

2:07:07 He's the guy on CNBC who was always on the floor of the stocks yelling. Yeah, yelling well he did I mean I was yelling when I saw the latest unemployment numbers come out my god John we are now at 4.7% besides unemployment beside this being just completely Unbelievable to a lot of people who just saying, this can't be right. Am I really one of the 4.7% of the losers? But add to that unemployment went down to 4.7%. with an addition of only 32,000 jobs. Which is a net loss of 120,000. It's a loss of jobs yes. Yes now we know of course why this is because they're not taking the numbers into consideration of people who have just given up who are no longer participating

2:07:57 And that number went up. That's why you have actual unemployment of people looking for jobs. They're bums, podcasters whatever they are, Uber drivers...they've given up. Rick Santelli has now become so crazy. You remember Jack Welch came out And this was just before the re-election of President Obama. They had another one of these bogus job numbers reports, and Welch came out and said this is a lie! This is a lie it's not true he was excoriated everybody what an asshole oh what a dick hey glad he doesn't run GE anymore puhh. And of course they had to restate the numbers three months later yeah

2:08:42 Well, I'm looking at the shadow stats right now which is a service you can go to ShadowStats.com and check it out of the unemployment numbers that he developed which are the same ones that you would get if you were in the 1930s and it has not changed at all from about the 22 1⁄2% unemployment rate that it shows It has not changed at all since 2010. It has been for all practical purposes flat At 22.5% and it really looks flat too when you look at it for the last I guess six years, just flat as pancake Meanwhile the official numbers are going down 10 more months like this!

2:09:24 months of 30 something thousand and we'll be under 3% unemployment. See this totally summarizes the disconnect between good jobs, the jobs number, the unemployment rate and what motivates the Fed in its dual pillars. This shows the absolute I'm sure will get Mr Perez out here and somehow i don't think he'll brag about the 4.7 but i don't understand why not because this stencil's been in place for quite a long Yeah, that's a very good point.

2:10:18 Is the Federal Reserve making their fiscal policy decisions based upon this number? No, of course not. They don't even pay any attention to that number. That number is just a public relations number that comes out of the White House. I don't know who it's supposed to make feel better, I guess if you're working and living in San Francisco Bay or let's say in one of these startups... Yeah! You do not feel obliged to give the guy five bucks or beg on the street for a dollar because he should go get a job. Yeah really? Only 4.7 unemployment. Get a job idiot there are jobs all over the place apparently. I can tell you that it is my belief

Austin Economy, Real Estate and ER Overcrowding

Despite Austin's reputation for prosperity, reports from local emergency rooms indicate that even wealthy residents from neighborhoods like Westlake are seeking basic medical care in ERs due to high insurance deductibles. The downtown real estate market is seeing extreme prices, with one-bedroom condos listed for $1.5 million. However, signs of a slowdown are noted, such as the halted construction of the Zaza Hotel project.

austin· westlake· obamacare· real estate· zaza hotel

2:10:56 that we are in such a state of shock about the unemployment and that there are people, middle class upper middle upper middle class way upper-middle class here in Austin I have an example who are broke. And here's my example I run into Seth the ER surgeon last night And I'm going downstairs to pick something up from the box room and he's got his scrubs on, he's got his little black bag. He works in the ER here in Austin. He does not like working Saturday nights which of course even though he has standing sometimes you gotta pull the Saturday night shift

2:11:36 So I said, Oh man. So how's it been? Do you have less clients now that Uber is not running? He said this really interesting. Said do you know what we have a lot of right now? Say what two things says flu to people coming in just horrible, horrible flu which I'd not even heard there was a bad flu going around either by and the second thing he says allergies they've written really bad this year and I say oh God tell me about it. Wait a minute People are coming to the ER for allergy symptoms? Hold on a second. This is, I mean this is and I go into my hole this is really this is the problem because I know people poor people come to the emergency room to get free diapers you know there's I know and but the problem is it takes up a lot of resources could yourself to process everybody everybody and you can't refuse anybody which is good

2:12:26 And I said, oh man. So this is the East side a lot of poor people to no no no No, this is from Westlake and that's anyone who knows Austin? That's a very rich Upper upper middle-class neighborhood. I say really he says yes and they come in and they're very entitled I have a right to this service here. I'm not feeling well and The only thing I can imagine is that well first of all we do have an entitlement problem but I'm thinking people are, you know they can't afford the you know and out of You know whatever the Obamacare doctrines. I don't whenever I need a doctor It's never covered and I think that's because they're broke there could be a lot of people who broke

2:13:15 We have a lot of people that listen to our podcasts that are broke. Luckily they still support us, but not so broke that they can't help us. But yeah... I think it's much worse than- The way it sounds, I was listening one report on Business News Network or one of them and it sounds as though there is only- Austin is one of the pockets of prosperity! Austin, New York and San Francisco are like the three they mentioned. Well I have my eye because of course i'm right in the middle of downtown we have four new buildings residential one condos which is a new seaholm project 300 280 units only 100 occupied right now Of course it just opened but yeah and these things are million-and-a-half just for you know for one bedroom

2:14:00 It's ridiculous. And then there are two other buildings, three other buildings near me that have people living in them but I looked at the prices for two bedrooms $4200 a month. That is San Francisco prices! Yeah and we got dickheads with Lamborghinis revving around town it's not good But here's the real, it's a canary in the coal mine to me. So very expensive real estate right here downtown they were supposed to build an Austin Zsa hotel and they have one in Dallas when Houston is a small... It's a private club of investors. Never heard of this hotel chain? The one in Houston is fantastic! It's very nice you know modern but they got nutty art and it just as fun

2:14:53 And so they've had this land for several years. They started to build about a year ago and they just given up there's no building I now call it Lake ZhaZha after the rains, it is just one big muddy water pit. And you know that's an experiment... But have they given up? No money or possibly not feeling the economy is going to make it worth it or both. Yeah yeah I'm not so sure. You know Austin well first of all we need a correction here this is crazy This is just crazy, these prices.

Sweden Immigration, Social Pressure and Multiculturalism

A report from CBN examines the social consequences of large-scale immigration in Sweden, claiming that critics of multiculturalism face severe professional and social ostracization. The term "assimilation" is reportedly viewed as a "Nazi word" by the Swedish establishment. Journalists Ingrid Karlquist and Lars Hedegaard describe a climate of fear where citizens are hesitant to subscribe to non-mainstream publications.

2:15:41 We can buffer against it a little bit. You guys are just a small operation and you know, and along with this comes, you know, just well actually I'd like to go in this we have to thank some people so I have too much going on here crap bumming everyone out good stuff though hey I'll tell you what why don't we look before we thank everybody? Why don't we play a little clip about how bad it is in Sweden that will make us feel better own Yeah. Okay, so this is the migrant situation in Sweden. This is a long report it's a piece from CBN which I think is a Christian broadcasting network so they are all-in against Muslims so please take that into account but I do find most of the facts presented in this piece

2:16:29 true. Sweden is a society that believes it is racing into the future, but critics warn that its racing to the bottom. Sweden has been a laboratory of social experiments Swedish leaders believe they're building the perfect society if you don't like how utopia's being built here you won't be shot like in North Korea But your life could become very unpleasant, very quickly. Sweden's leftist establishment and media believe a cornerstone of their perfect society is multiculturalism large-scale immigration from some of the poorest most backward nations on earth and Swedes who disagree with that plan risk being labeled racist fascists even Nazis The rules of the game in Sweden is to avoid being

2:17:12 hostile to immigration. It's the most important point to prove that you're friendly towards foreigners, you're friendly towards immigration it's all about whether or not you can be said to be hostile to immigration once that is proven... PROVEN I mean, you're out of the game. It doesn't matter if Sweden's immigration model is failing miserably, if test scores in Swedish schools are plummeting or if crime in some areas has skyrocketed. Immigrants burned the Stockholm suburb of Hughesby for over a week last year. Many Jews now live in fear of attacks by Muslim immigrants and are leaving this former journalist for Swedish radio left last year and returned to her native Somalia

2:17:57 She told Swedish television that Mogadishu was safer than the immigrant suburbs in Stockholm. And forget about an American-style melting pot, in which immigrants will someday learn to become Swedish. That's a racist idea too! Assimilation is completely out of the question. Who says assimilation is completely out of the question? mainstream political parties and media platforms would laugh about the word assimilation is a Nazi word in Sweden. They point at you say you're racist then you will have no career, no job. You might lose your family." Swedish journalist Ingrid Karlquist and Danish journalist Lars Hedegaard run the online newspaper Dispatch International which covers issues like immigration that the mainstream media in Sweden ignores but Karlquist says their plan for a traditional newspaper failed because Swedes were too scared to have the paper delivered to their homes. Because what if the mailman saw

2:18:55 that you had this newspaper, what if your neighbours saw it? Then they might think that you are a racist or that you hate Muslims. So we thought we could sort of make an impact We still think we can but its tough going Dispatch International now hangs on through donations. Whether or not... That those kids won't get work? Yeah, it'll harm them. That is a very bad situation because you live then in the country where you cannot solve any problems You cannot even mention the problems We had a perfectly good country A rich country A nice country And in few years time that country will be gone Oops!

2:19:56 Now, this is obviously over-dramatized but I recognize a lot of this. And I recognize it here and this is primarily among the people who consider themselves to be smart informed an educated voters you know there's a lot of this stuff that uh... why do you think we're not saying Islamic terrorists? You know, it's for this reason. You don't want to be called a racist... This is exactly how Nazi Germany came about! It's fantastic to watch

CHAPTER 29 / 36 Discussion

Templeton Prize, Lord Jonathan Sacks on Identity

Former Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks received the $1.5 million Templeton Prize for his contributions to spiritual life. In an interview, Sacks argued that multiculturalism has led to "sleepwalking into segregation" by replacing national identity with tribalism. He distinguishes between a "society at home" with a shared identity and a "society as a hotel" where groups remain segregated.

templeton prize· jonathan sacks· national identity· multiculturalism· religion

2:20:32 Now that we're at age and it doesn't matter when we die, it's okay. I don't give a shit whatever. So let's listen to the guy who won the Templeton Award which is this very interesting...I picked this off of Newsnight and now you're talking about Jews? We've got the rabbi who ran the whole Great Britain he was the top guy and he won they won the Templeton Award and I want to play this whole clip but Because when I heard this guy said, wow... What is the Templeton Award? The Templeton Award is called- it's explained in the clip. So let's just play this. This is the multiculturalism lecture. I just found it very insightful. The Templeton Prize is a kind of Nobel for religion. It honors a living person who has quote made an exceptional contribution to affirming life's spiritual dimension

2:21:25 Given that spiritual objective, the prize is remarkably materialistic in paying out serious money to the winner. One and a half million dollars! Now this year that jackpot was won by the former chief rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations in Britain Lord Jonathan Sachs who has for decades been writing and talking on themes of faith tolerance and peace I sat down with Lord Saxe on the day he received his prize. His latest book is about religion and conflict, so i thought i'd ask a simple question... Does religion cause war? Not always, not inevitably and every substitute for religion leads to war. So the cause of war is not religion it's us! It's human beings its that nasty little thing called human impulse and anger. It's very interesting you're arguing making this point now because of course a lot of people are saying the era in which we're living

2:22:19 is one in which there is a clamor or need for people to find identity. Identity politics, nationalist politics are very prominent people feeling like their voice needs to be heard, they need to shout more loudly because their tribe is not getting the recognition it needs. I wonder whether you think that it's a problem? I think it is! You know we've lost our national identity... Do you think so? I think we really really have yes and we kind of lost that in that welter of multiculturalism and then we said you know actually it's very impolite to have a national identity But this gets to the heart

2:22:55 awkward dilemma doesn't it about whether we all should have a shared identity or whether we should encourage people to have their own identity and in multicultural England or multicultural Britain. The real difference is if there's collective identities society is at home If you have multiculturalism, society is a hotel. It was supposed to lead to greater tolerance what it led to Was what Trevor Phillips called sleepwalking into segregation Multiculturalism did not promote Tolerance or shared identity it said you go off and do your own thing And that turns out to be very destructive I'll say

2:23:42 What's it? We got to get this guy's book now. Yes, yeah another thing to read nice but yeah and the simple he puts it simply and I think is nailed it and uh... And witness Europe! Witness the EU. I saw it happen And so here's what it... It's ongoing. Yeah, well yes it is and probably if there were an evil Uberlord anywhere saying I know how we can get those fuckers in the West just make everybody call each other racist and then promote all these other ideas and then before you know they'll be so stupefied they won't even be able to call each other out on stuff. And this happened at the Florida Atlantic University in Boca! Boca

Sharia Law, Florida Atlantic University Controversy

A professor at Florida Atlantic University sparked controversy by publicly advocating for Sharia law, including capital punishment and the amputation of hands for theft. The professor argued that such severe penalties serve as an effective deterrent against organized crime. The comments have drawn criticism for promoting radical legal concepts in a public academic setting.

sharia law· florida atlantic university· capital punishment· boca raton· theft

2:24:29 This is a Muslim professor and it'll take you about two seconds to get accustomed to the audio, but I've checked that. You can hear it fine. Let's listen to what he's talking about. We at the Islamic Center of Bakr Al-Sharif, we practice Sharia. If someone doesn't know it. When there's no Sharia, Islamic Sharia they die in dozens and hundreds every day because of organized crime. People kill people to steal pizza for $10 in any stores So when Islamic Shari'a say about capital punishment even though it sounds very severe but if that is the solution to prevent any crimes

2:25:10 then it still has a lot of rules and regulations. I will just mention one, and we'll stop here which is let's say cutting the hand of a person if they steal. It sounds very severe, it sounds very barbaric, I know but if it takes one or two people to have their hands cut and then there's no more stealing in the whole nation, that's a much better resolution than having hundreds of people die every day. What? Wow! Are you kidding me?! Now I don't know if you could hear that through the Skype... He says promoting Shari, he says cutting off somebody's hand for stealing is the best way to do it because it's just a better idea. And then everyone got all bent out of shape. You only have to do it to one or two people and then uh...then its all good! Then people- maybe true but that's kind of a radical idea to be promoting I would think yes especially in public

Knighting Ceremony, Final Donations and Outro

The show concludes with a knighting ceremony for Jim Blanchard, who is dubbed "Sir Cole, Knight of the Left Turn at Albuquerque" for his $1,000 donation. Final $50+ donations are read from listeners in London, California, and the Netherlands. The hosts sign off from Austin and Silicon Valley, reminding the audience of the next broadcast on Thursday.

A few months ago on this very program This very program Um I was laughed at In fact this By who? by you By what? By youse. Ever, that's impossible. Youse! Youse yes I brought to your attention not that i was buying into it I brought your attention a meme floating around in fact you sent me the theremin clip I think based upon this story maybe I should just play while we're at it The story goes that the world as we know is a simulation run by the artificial intelligence and AND

CHAPTER 32 / 36 Discussion

Elon Musk, Simulation Theory and AI Danger

At the Recode conference, Elon Musk stated that the odds we are living in "base reality" are one in billions, suggesting we likely exist in a computer simulation. Musk also warned that AI could eventually treat humans like "house cats" and proposed a "neural lace" brain-computer interface to keep pace with machine intelligence. The tech media's "fawning" coverage of Musk's apocalyptic visions is criticized.

elon musk· recode· simulation theory· artificial intelligence· neural lace

2:33:23 that those who promote artificial intelligence receive fame and fortune and great jobs. Those who fight it have podcasts." That was pretty much the theory, and you laughed at me of course! You said this is... Yeah, because it's funny. Right? Interesting when its Elon Musk, it's okay Then everybody's all in. By the way, when it's Elon Musk it's not okay by me! It's okay for everybody! Elon! It's okay for everybody Just listen to this I have a couple of clips here that I just need to get through This guy is...I cannot believe Oh Elon, oh yes! It makes so much sense Oh Elon Actually you know what I should do? I'll start off with

2:34:12 Here's Elon. Oh, Elon! Yes let's start off with Okay clip number one this is all from Recode This is the I guess this Is that not streamed live or how come? I guess not whatever so they do a little like news desk afternoon each evening News desk yes we got Swisher who's wearing dark Ray-Ban sunglasses I don't know, because she's hungover. I don't know why but it looks very dumb and Mossberg and they're just drooling over Elon

2:34:50 on this one everywhere he's incredibly smart and incredibly nerdy indian so they are future is that we talked about uh... eighty a i think a i probably have to be in the issue may are not had a lot of conversation about a i i i very worried about it but there were two million set things that i i mean none of our others we talked a lot about a right for the conference from weekend discuss that but but you know i'm beyond was unusual in that heat thought This is a serious danger to humanity that it won't be very long before AI can be orders of magnitude smarter than us. I mean, he... Aaron got him to say... He uh... Compares to what? A house cat so he said essentially that we're gonna be as dumb as pets and that AI is going to control us and his worry is that there's

2:35:39 that the one company i think he was referring to google we both well i think we did it could have been during the face book that uh... that there be one company with a handful of people in charge and that's a dangerous situation and so here's this thing called open uh... air which is trying to create a life for the masses and so everybody can happen at into our positions gonna happen everybody should have artificial intelligence capabilities and uh... So he sort of has the vision of the future that's very apocalyptic. Kind of a cyborg defense, you say? Yeah, Determinator! I mean it really was. He was essentially saying without naming them that Google we think it was Google is Skynet and

2:36:18 he was also i mean i'm not making this down we know where they are here he was talking about in planting how we all need to plant what's called a neural lace which turns out to be real thing people were badly googly uh... good idea ironic ironically and um... that would give you input output with your digital self in your brain. Well, it would give you advanced capabilities and there wouldn't need to be surgery that you could implant in somehow on the back. Suddenly Tesla production targets seem kind of pedestrian. Oh we talked about that! We did. Give him what else he wants. Yeah, he's talking to a bunch of stuff so people ignore the fact that he can't produce enough for those new model threes or but also the level of horseshit

2:37:05 I mean, if I had thrown this theory down which is kind of like a 4chan thing. It is! It's a 4chan thing it's total theremin world but then for... If I had said that at an Obama-bot dinner you know laughed out the room. When Elon says Oh I love Elon By the way he stole the idea from Bill Gates who 20 years ago Said that and he told his closer friends He said he always said he always believed that software will take over the world and we'll be their pets Exactly that right so now now this concept they were currently living in a simulation which he Which he pegs John the chance is billions to one that were not living in a simulation This is Elon Musk

2:37:55 The hero. Tony Stark! Incredible. There's a... Conspiracy theory? Sort of a philosophic concept that an- Oh, I'm sorry. ...advanced civilization would be able to create uh... A simulation. Yeah maybe you've answered this before I've had so many simulation discussions, it's crazy. In fact it got to the point where basically every conversation was the AI slash simulation conversation and my brother and I finally agreed that we would ban such conversations if we were ever in a hot tub Yeah because you will die He is buying into the whole concept If your against this simulation theory then your not rich famous or powerful but you die

2:38:38 That was like in a hot tub. Because that really kills the magic. So the idea is, right? Any sufficiently advanced civilization could create a simulation that's like our existence and so the theory follows that maybe we're in this simulation Have you thought about this and... A lot. Are we? That's Mossberg, by the way. No! So much so that it has to be bound from a hot tub. No that was Mossberg with that laugh. He's got a creepy one. There he is. That's him

2:39:17 So given that we're clearly on a trajectory to have games that are indistinguishable from reality and those games could be played on any set-top box or on a PC or whatever, and there would probably be billions of such computers with set top boxes. It would seem to follow that the odds that were in base reality is one in billions? Tell me what's wrong with that argument. Is the answer yes Yeah, the answer you just said. The odds that it's base reality is one in billions ie real reality-reality not a simulation This is where Musk's head is at yeah? Okay, the argument is probably I mean, but I was like Is there is there a flaw in that argument? I'm not sure what the error No no the argument makes sense so the assumption then is that You know this kind of thing It's not unusual to have these thoughts

2:40:11 This is the kind at some point in your success. Deepak Chopra does not believe in reality. Deepak Chopra when it comes down to his final philosophies, he's a very interesting guy to listen to because he twists things and very unique ways and makes it very compelling He doesn't think there's any reality at all. He thinks it's all bullcrap, so this is not the only guy who goes around like this It's not so much that John its its the fawning over him with... Oh! The fawning is unacceptable And just not even saying a hold on a second Elon They should throw him out of his chair right here right down to the floor Stomp on him I say Start kicking him and then say what do you think about this reality punk? How's that simulation for ya dude

CHAPTER 33 / 36 Discussion

AI Skepticism, Email Sorting and APIs

Skepticism is expressed regarding the current state of artificial intelligence, with the claim that "there is no AI, only the API." The hosts argue that true AI has yet to solve basic consumer problems, such as effectively sorting an email inbox based on context. The discussion suggests that the tech industry's focus on AI is a marketing shift rather than a functional breakthrough.

artificial intelligence· api· email· tech industry· skepticism

2:40:59 I'm not it got nothing to do with it. It's a simulation What did you do wrong? All right, I'll leave that for what it is. I'll just wrap up with another Just so you know, what we're going to be inundated with on all the tech horny shows for the next years which I am against. I remain by the phrase there is no AI only the API but it's all gonna be A-I-A-I-A-I-A-I-A-I-A-I-A It sort of a contrasting version of what AI is gonna do for society You had Sheryl Sandberg and Mike Schrepper who's known as Shrep who was CTO at Facebook

2:41:34 talking about how good technology is going to be for us and the bad outweighs the good. I think several people were talking about the good outweighs the bad, excuse me? And then you had Elon saying no just... What? Well yeah what are you doing? Come on blah blah blah listen it's important this is our beat we gotta know what's coming down the pipe! Second and maybe Maybe I'm so much and send it like under a pitching. Yeah, so it's an easy job for it yeah So I think it's an interesting thing in and that'll I think these are again big issues that need to play themselves out Issues that need to play themself outs oh, that's no there you go B The next quantum leap in computing.

2:42:27 What journalist still uses terms like that? Who says going forward, that's not something a writer should ever use. who's running one of these companies, and this was part of our theme this year thinks this is the battleground in next 10 years. If the smartphone was the battle ground over the last seven or eight years AI is now that the battle right? I do you remember what the hell What the hell was the name of that company it was something Was it magic or magic loop, or magic... There was a magic something. Magic hat? Or something like that. Yeah and it was good and it was a whole bunch of like Apple guys and all these people. And that was going to be intelligent agents could walk out on the network and do all kinds of stuff for you. Oh yeah we were waiting for that for awhile. That was in the 80's. Wait still waiting!

2:43:24 Yeah, but I just...I find it at this point- You can't even get a good smart email box. Really? Do that for me! Really sort the email based upon the context I'm interested in No one's created any AI- Thank you John there you go That's it When when there is artificial intelligence that sorts my email The way I want to be I'll believe in it Yeah, your not gonna see it Not gonna see it Well I have one piece of tech news But I can put off to the next show I think that would be a real disappointment. Why would it be a disappointment? Because we love their tech news! Unlike your thing, which i won't condemn... This is actual tech news and this actually applies to things that are happening that will continue to happen and it's the- I guess there was a big event I missed in Shanghai but this is the 3D printing story that was played on the Chinese news of course we didn't hear anything about it

CHAPTER 34 / 36 Discussion

3D Printing, Construction and Printed Cars

A trade fair in Shanghai showcased the expansion of 3D printing from small figurines to large-scale construction and household items. In Dubai, the Future Foundation recently opened an office building entirely constructed via 3D printing. Additionally, the segment mentions 3D-printed cars, as seen on "Jay Leno's Garage," which could potentially revolutionize local manufacturing.

3d printing· shanghai· dubai· jay leno· manufacturing

2:44:22 Moving on to 3D printing now. It's been hailed as revolutionary, so far it has been mostly limited to small objects like figurines but as a trade fair in Shanghai shows we could soon be living and working inside printed buildings too Round and round and round it goes. Layer by layer, this 3D printer makes vases and lampshades ornate and pretty at a cost of 500 to 1000 dollars gadgets like this are our hobbyist's dream they fit on the desk and print out models quickly and for cheap

2:44:57 The printer brings the best effect by using plastic and carbon fiber materials. We are now developing 3D printers that can use flour to make pancakes. Users can make cartoon-shaped pancakes for children." Breakfast food might be a niche market for 3D printers. A look around the Shanghai event clearly shows that household items and decorations are in demand, then again for some it is less important what someone prints but that they print." A 3d printer can enable users to make small toys and decorations It is interactive and can train children's creativity and practical abilities

2:45:37 That's different from just buying toys. Making toys instead of just playing with toys, but 3D printing is no longer just a gimmick for hobbyists. Thousands of miles away the Dubai Future Foundation just moved into their new offices completely made by a 3d printer Why 3D printing? Because it makes sense in terms of cost and time saving and efficiency And we really believe that this technology will revolutionize the construction, development sector. I won't be surprised if in 20 years down the road whole cities will be 3D printed." The technology has some important advantages over traditional building techniques. The cement used is fast curing a module like the one used in Dubai is printed in a day and irregular shapes can be made allowing architects to explore new ideas

2:46:31 There are limits of course most large buildings including skyscrapers need a steel skeleton And that cannot be 3d printed at least not yet hmm there you go. That's an update That's something people need to know yeah, and you know there's a there's a small company that's doing 3D printing of cars There's no reason you can't do that. Yeah. No it's actually yes is pretty cool I saw it on Jays garage which I have to say pretty cool show Oh, Jay's Garage is a great show. I hadn't watched it in long time and so you have this printer and it's a big printer and it just poops out of car and all you have to do was put the shocks on and attach the wheels obviously your axles and then electric motor and somebody printed their own 3D car Yeah It's cool

CHAPTER 35 / 36 Discussion

Universal Basic Income, Swiss Referendum Results

Swiss voters overwhelmingly rejected a proposal for a Universal Basic Income (UBI) of 2,300 euros per month, with over 70% voting against the measure. Proponents argued that UBI is necessary as automation reduces the need for human labor, while critics labeled it a "Marxist dream" that would encourage illegal immigration. Finland is reportedly planning its own trial of a similar system on a smaller scale.

universal basic income· switzerland· referendum· marxism· finland

2:47:23 Yeah, I can see that. Without manufacturing in the United States, certainly. You know we need jobs that are a certain kind of job and we don't need a lot of other jobs apparently or that's the belief so we therefore need to start considering UBI which is universal basic income. And I'm all-in on this by the way. We have people who are you know useless effectively for society. Useless eaters. That's what Prince Charles has said

2:48:08 Was it Prince Charles or was it Daddio, the... Prince Philip. Prince Philip said it. Useless eaters! Cannon fodder I tell you. The Swiss voted this down with a huge majority today by 71%. Me too here's the lead up to it. What would you do if your income wasn't an issue? That's the question being posed by campaigners in Geneva ahead of a vote to introduce a universal basic income Supporters are leaving their answers over billboards across the city. Among the answers here, director film and work to find a new form of renewable energy. Sounds like a cool gig to me! But it's a proposal that has split opinion We have a relatively well functioning social system for people who are out of work or have health problems and it works well

2:48:54 So when it comes to the minimum income, I'm sceptical. The plans would see every Swiss citizen given 2,300 euros a month by the government no strings attached Those who do work would also receive the money but have their salaries deducted by the same amount The controversial proposals have also been criticised by almost all political parties with some calling it a Marxist dream This would cost the company a little over 22 and half billion euros. Some are worried it could lead to tax increases The think tank behind the idea says it is necessary. We produce more and more value with less and less human labor, so there's no longer enough work for everyone not enough salary, not enough people paying into the social system we need to find another redistribution system Switzerland isn't alone among others Finland is planning to trial a universal basic income albeit with a lower wage next year And 71 or 73 percent voted down today

2:49:51 In their referendum. Yeah, it's huge! Very very surprising to me Yeah, it was surprising to me too because it seems as though the Swiss would be the ones who'd like to experiment with this sort of thing. And this is a referendum so... I mean they are counter-argument like if we try to do it kind of argument would be well then you just have a bunch people coming over the border and collect wealth, get free money but the Swiss are really good about keeping people from becoming Swiss citizens. It's almost like Monaco, it's almost impossible become one unless you do deal with them Well, but it would be pretty easy do a one-two punch and say, hey you have to be... a citizen or resident alien. And that has to before not like the IRS now like, Hey! You're here illegally overstayed your visa Here's your number go ahead just keep paying taxes which is bad it's the wrong incentive Which is really kind of Sharia law in reverse It's Sharia privilege I'm telling ya nuts So on third hand

2:50:56 I'm curious. You know, it...I don't know if there are any other...I like the idea in a utopian world, I have a feeling. Well Nixon was a big promoter of what's called reverse income tax and this has been...the idea is not new and its floated around for awhile but... Long time, long time for sure! A long time. Well yeah, I was stunned that the number was so high All right, I said we're done Good. We got it. I mean I probably have a clip here that I could play or I can move into the next show Do one to play us out do a fun one for us? Let's do what does this say what is this word on here just do the music you'd do this because the five-pounder oh

CHAPTER 36 / 36 Discussion

Plastic Currency, New British Five Pound Note

The Bank of England unveiled a new five-pound note featuring Sir Winston Churchill, made of durable polymer plastic rather than cotton paper. This transition follows similar moves by Australia, Canada, and Scotland to create waterproof and harder-to-counterfeit currency. The segment concludes with a humorous reference to "money laundering" via washing machines and the eventual shift toward a cashless society.
