CHAPTER 02 / 64 Discussion

Skype Technical Difficulties and Bogus User Data

A technical failure with Skype delayed the podcast stream by one hour, leading to a discussion about Microsoft's difficult password recovery process. The narrative explores how users often provide fake birthdates, such as January 1, 1901, to bypass privacy concerns, which inadvertently skews demographic data for internet services.

skype· microsoft· password recovery· yahoo· user data

00:41 That guy was unbelievable. Yeah, he's overlooked they should teach him in school He's overlooked underrated I say yeah under rated so typically we wouldn't maybe talk about Glitches and all kinds of issues But we're starting an hour late on the stream something happened with your Skype And I'm very curious to find out what could have possibly gone wrong that delayed you by an hour What happened well? Well first of all this I wouldn't let me sign in And then it would... What does that mean? It just says wrong password, did it say...? Yeah. Wrong password, wrong password, wrong password and I know the password. Yeah. And then so I said oh I get a password recovery. So normally you just say forgot my password and of course they mail it to ya. Well they said what and they gave me a hint at the email address and so I put the email address in. It's kind of old Yahoo address

01:32 And, uh. Good so everybody else now also has your password if it went to Yahoo? Well it didn't go to Yahoo Oh okay Cause I said we don't know this never heard of this address ever and then as I did more digging the address seems to have turned into Mimi's email address for some reason Yeah that what she is doing is obviously looking at your Skype history Okay keep going Well she hacked my account there But um So then I said, well let's try some other things. And so we tried all you know you try this and that and it just...and then it was nothing worked. And then finally had to do a...well give us more information. Then they gave me like six page kind of dossier to fill out

02:17 And of course, like everybody else who uses Skype, you don't put any of the accurate information. A dossier? You had your medical health records? So it goes on and on and then of course I don't know what do I put in there usually for my birthday I always put in like January 1st and then the oldest date. Yeah 1901. 1905 in this case. I think they took 1901 off. Oh man! By the way, I think a lot of people do this because And so when you hear these, oh the internet has older users than we're... You see these reports. I've seen them written up.

02:56 Oh, it turns out that the average user for Skype is 70. Yes. You know, because people are putting in bogus birthdays. OK? Yeah. That's another story. It is pretty so. So I tried and then they saw a day I tried to do open a new account. And so would you say that took like 45 minutes because they asked for this and that? And I can see why people put in January 1st 1908 because it's pain in the ass. None of them were asking for all this information It should be a simple thing. It's Microsoft, you know? By the way before on the other one I kept going on and going and they said well... What do you mean on the other one what do you mean the other one The original one that did one that i use Oh your is no account yes

03:38 The real account. And so then it goes on and again gives me this huge questionnaire, I fill it out and there's supposed to be a note saying we will look this over and let you know within 24 hours. Oh man! Just for... oh god You have to name some people on your list and then you have to think what is their names? It's unbelievable Yeah that's horrible Hey maybe this'll help This is something you can probably, I'm going to send you this and whenever you feel bad in the morning when stuff isn't working. This is a little sound clip that was posted to the face bag it said dear friends this was my initial response when Donald Trump was elected president and this is real. You know this is kind of thing oh this is fake particularly with this person but this is actually real from her account I double checked it. Yoko Ono

The segment features a recording of Yoko Ono's primal scream reaction to Donald Trump's election victory. This is followed by a brief mention of a "vacay girl" clip regarding Hillary Clinton, intended for the end of the show.

CHAPTER 04 / 64 Discussion

You know dinosaur era Place in the whole world hmm They have a prehistoric duck they're called the blue duck no Then if you cut it open its gut it doesn't look like a duck inside It's a turducken Could be

Oakland Anti-Trump Protests and Public Education Claims

Protesters in Oakland, California, filled the streets to denounce President-elect Donald Trump, with some participants comparing the democratic outcome to the rise of Hitler. One protester argued that the American democratic system is failing due to the progressive defunding of public schools by both political parties.

oakland· donald trump· democracy· fascism· public schools

06:57 So, man. You know obviously a lot of what we were finding in media was people bummed out remorse confused not understanding protests. Well I got a couple of things that well we have the protests in Oakland yeah another protest in Austin interesting protest in Austin Let's play the date. Let's well, let's talk about these protests for a minute Yeah This would be the maw pan the guy from RTS in Oakland checking things out So once again the sun is down and here in Oakland, the streets are filled with protesters denouncing Donald Trump. The president-elect who recently won the vote You know some people that are watching this protest at home right now They might be like well look Trump won the election fair and square why are they protesting? Are they against democracy what would you say to that person

07:52 We're just doing what's right. This is what we need, we don't need Trump in office he's just gonna make everything worse it's that simple as that. Is there a way of preventing him from taking office? We can all fight, do this every single day if we have to make sure that he's gone. Oh okay! He did win according to the US Constitution so you're saying your protesting against the American democratic system right? So did Hitler That doesn't mean we have to accept it as it is. We need to fight back against this fascist system To have democracy you have to have an educated public and the public schools

08:29 progressively defunded both by Republicans and Democrats. And so the system as it is, isn't promoting the democracy we have in our constitution. So a crowd of protesters has marched all the way up toward the highway and as you can see right in front of me there's a line of police with riot gear on shields clubs at their side to prevent the protesters from getting onto the highway. Now, the protesters are turning around in face of this crowd of police with clubs who are blocking them from getting onto the highway as they've done on previous evenings in the protests and aftermath of Donald Trump's election. You know because there is a lot of confusion about these protests it's obvious that what happened in Portland

New York City Trump Protest Eyewitness Report

Producer David Hazan provided an eyewitness account of a massive anti-Trump march in New York City involving approximately 100,000 people. The report describes a peaceful atmosphere dominated by millennials and women, featuring a variety of handmade placards with slogans regarding civil rights, immigration, and climate change.

new york city· david hazan· millennials· lgbtq· protest signs

09:12 There had to be some provocateurs for this to happen. I have an eyewitness report from one of our producers in New York City, which i wanted to share But he went to the Trump protest march This is a producer David Hazan And he also recorded some stuff for us as well Let me just read this first of all He said here we go Went to the Trump protest march in New York City today was quite the scene I think all and all there about 100 thousand people mostly young Millennials lots of LGBTQQXYZT pluses Regular people, kids. A noticeable majority were women and a peculiar number of women were quote of a certain age like 60 and up." This is interesting... "...it was quite calm and peaceful in general I looked out for any possible agitators provocateurs and high production value designed or printed signs or t-shirts but there were none people seemed very sincere and all signs and placards were handmade

10:04 And now he gave me a list of what were on the placards and signs, and he also recorded some of the chants that were taking place. Just checking to make sure you're still with me John Yeah. Okay, you never know with Skype issues It's the noise gate! It is the noise gate.

They all were very angry when he said I will protect you, I will protect our LGBT community from Muslim terrorists

CHAPTER 07 / 64 Discussion

Mike Pence and LGBTQ Conversion Therapy Claims

The discussion addresses claims that Vice President-elect Mike Pence supports conversion therapy for the LGBTQ community. The hosts characterize these reports as media-driven "bullcrap," arguing that the narrative stems from a misinterpretation of Pence's past policy positions.

mike pence· lgbtq· conversion therapy· rachel maddow· media deconstruction

13:34 something along those lines. It was certainly, it was... Yeah and so- Very interesting interpretation I think a little bit of that has to do because i've been watching Rachel, I don't know how much more of that I can take. I just have two more two more. Let me be free let's just say this is the first of course. She thinks, I think it stems from him picking Pence Oh! I'm sorry you're right yes because they claim that uh that Pence wanted conversion therapy and we've deconstructed that. Yeah, we deconstructed it as bullcrap! Absolute bullcrap I mean you can change the words to mean that but it was absolutely not written in a law or anything

San Francisco Student Walkouts and Undocumented Family Concerns

Seventh graders and high school seniors in San Francisco walked out of classes to protest the election results and appeal to Mayor Ed Lee for protection. Students expressed fear regarding Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric concerning the deportation of Mexican and Central American immigrants.

san francisco· ed lee· student protest· deportation· undocumented immigrants

15:03 I want to give him a 10 point. Give him an ITM or something, that's a collection that should go to one of the universities that collects folklore because it is outstanding. Isn't it beautiful? Go out and do that. Yes, that was great thanks! In San Francisco, a bunch of seventh graders stood up and walked out of class and protested we're going to go to the mayor I believe Just by coincidence, there happened to be a TV crew nearby as these kids stormed out. Wow!

15:44 Many of these people who are here, they're not even old enough to vote. But as you hear them chant anti-slogans they are disgusted by what happened in the election. I'm joined here by a couple of organizers this is Victoria and Mailey. Victoria let me start with you your high school senior What does the Donald Trump presidency mean to you? It means a lot to me right now because A lot of my family, a lot of my friends are undocumented and it's not fair. It is really not fair that he said that he will deport every Mexican Every Central American And He said they had

16:21 basically Mexicans are drug dealers and that's not true. It is very not true, we are a working class, we struggle in this city and it is very hard especially with the house raids and everything else so this really means alot to me right now What do you feel you can accomplish by having a rally like this? Having our voices out here, out here with the public media. Here telling Mayor Ed Lee to help us out at least something and basically having our voices out in social media, in Snapchat and Instagram and on television Alright so what your hearing here is what I call child abuse

CHAPTER 09 / 64 Discussion

Austin Child Protester and Unemployment Rate Disparity

The hosts criticize the involvement of young children in political protests, labeling it a form of "child abuse." The conversation shifts to the U.S. unemployment rate, contrasting the official 4.9% figure with "Shadow Stats" estimates of 22-23% to explain why so many people have time to protest.

austin· child abuse· unemployment rate· shadow stats· economic data

17:09 This child has clearly been abused into believing horrible things and really, really believes it. There's no room for nuance almost as bad as what happened in Austin last night I could not believe this little girl...this little girl i think is five years old so there's a little girl five years old there's a whole bunch of grown adults around her these are parents and this is what took place in Austin This to me is child abuse I am mixed race. I am a child! And i cannot vote, but that will not stop me from getting hurt. Love is love and love trumps hate

18:19 That maybe wasn't last night actually, but that I got a problem with that man. Yeah, I don't blame you and by the way This is an indication to me that the unemployment rate 4.9 percent is both people have way too much time on their hands They get too much time The real unemployment rate is still around 22 to 23% if you look at shadow stats even though so Even though there's a number of critics out there who scream at me for even pointing this out, but it was used in the 30s to determine the unemployment rate during the depression. I have another report

University of Kansas Election Reactions and Academic Bias

A report from a student at the University of Kansas describes the emotional fallout on campus, including professors crying over the election results. The student details an environment of perceived academic bias where faculty compared Trump's victory to the fall of Western civilization and the rise of the National Front in France.

university of kansas· brexit· national front· academic bias· globalism

18:57 From Brandon H., producer of Brandon H. Millennial, hey Adam I know it's kind of late or early yeah when i got it was still up. I want to fill you in on how people here at Kansas University reacted to the election another first-hand report we love receiving these. I was among a lot of people my age with silent support for Trump primarily because of his anti globalist stance. I remain silent because just the mention of his name brings out anger and hatred in people and I prefer to keep my friends There was not a terrible backlash in response to the election. I mean, we are in Kansas after all but there was a lot of crying mostly from women two of my professors cried one is from Costa Rica who feared for her safety and the other is political scientist slash Clinton bot who predicted Clinton to win in a landslide

19:43 His professional prediction was giving Clinton every swing state except Ohio and Arizona. We were lectured by a black kid in our class that we have no idea what it's like to live in constant fear for your life, and how much he is terrified even though he comes from the upper-class suburb of Kansas City. We didn't have a protest as far I know of, and I've not heard any rally of any kind." My political science professors are incredibly biased. It's sickening to me, but a joy to the other slaves in my classes." Here we go... He was a kid who switched on! One told our class of around 130 that Trump winning would be or is a catastrophe. He said that if he follows through on his promises and rips up trade agreements the United States and world economy will crash

20:26 My other professor said this election, Brexit and a potential National Front victory in France are the beginnings of the fall of Western civilization. Yes! We're all gonna die!" He also used the quote RT is Russian sponsored propaganda bit And I'm really hoping Trump will change things though and won't be a puppet. I don't expect him to deliver on all his promises, but I do want him to shake things up and move away from the establishment which I think he will only time will tell keep fighting the good fight sir are you doing necessary service at all? Thank You Brandon H. Brandon thank you! You're the one that's doing the service here man. You have to punch hit some of these kids in the mouth when appropriate

CHAPTER 11 / 64 Discussion

Ed Schultz on Therapy Dogs and School Healing Spaces

Ed Schultz reports on schools in Brooklyn offering therapy dogs, free hugs, and "healing spaces" for students distraught by the election. The hosts characterize these institutional responses as a form of "brainwashing 101" that exacerbates the perceived crisis for children.

ed schultz· therapy dogs· brooklyn· brainwashing· school reaction

21:06 So we have a mention of RT so in the same vein of what we're discussing here, let's play Ed Schultz. Aha! Ed yes On the reaction and his take on it. I Reminded students therapy dogs are available. A small elementary and middle school in Brooklyn held a community speak out with free hugs, healthy snacks and poetry. Yeah healing spaces...a lot of interesting stuff going on uh and the only question I had and by the way this is all a form of brainwashing too oh huge part of it

22:11 Yeah, and you know the brainwashed this is brainwashing 101. They are making this worse than it is especially with children Yes, who are susceptible to oh everyone's crying I might as well cry yeah Why why are they crying because of them because a Republican got elected? Oh okay? That's bad that you tell me this bed boy Everyone seems to think it's bad look at every look around your look around you It's bad if they put this much effort into actually winning the election they'd been better off and no kidding Now, of course the question that I think I have... Tina had this question. Okay you're angry? You want to protest? Sure is there a point is there something on to go is it something this is supposed to lead towards and I was searching for anyone with any form of answer although not satisfactory this is probably the closest we can get an answer to what this is supposed to lead to or where they're supposed to go too. Supposed to quit!

CHAPTER 12 / 64 Discussion

Michael Moore and the Million Woman March Plan

Filmmaker Michael Moore appeared on MSNBC with Chris Hayes to discuss the mobilization of a "Million Woman March" planned for Inauguration Day in Washington D.C. Moore outlined a strategy to use the protests to block Supreme Court nominations and shift the Democratic Party toward a more progressive platform under leaders like Keith Ellison.

michael moore· chris hayes· million woman march· inauguration· keith ellison

23:08 Well, here's Chris Hayes with Michael Moore. I know it's rough but it's only a minute Where do you see that going? Because it seems to me that this is an expression of civil society certain segments of the society saying we do not approve of the rhetoric You've used or the plans that you've laid out We do not approve our fellow citizens being targeted and then what how does that build power to your mind okay well first of all this is gonna grow larger than anything that we've seen in recent memory It's going to grow from last night to tonight, then tomorrow night and the next night. So phase one right now is just people get up out of the chair go out into the street be peaceful but but be heard

23:48 It's going to lead to, on inauguration day over a million people in Washington DC. There is already a huge call out some people are calling it the Million Woman March or if you're guy you can say Million Woman Plus One. Right. Wow how about that for a beta male moment there huh? You can say A Million Woman Plus One Can I please participate Million woman March or if you're a guy, you can say million woman plus one. Really? But it's gonna be massive different local organizations are going to grow out of this because people we're gonna have to be very active. To stop these Supreme Court nominations, right? To stop... to do what we need to do to take over the Democratic Party and put it in the hands of the people who are the Democratic Party, the progressive people that are the party that's already started to happen today with Keith Ellison.

CHAPTER 13 / 64 Discussion

George Soros and the Purple Revolution Theory

The hosts discuss the theory that George Soros is orchestrating a "Purple Revolution" in the United States, similar to color revolutions in Georgia and Ukraine. They examine the use of safety pins as a solidarity signal and suggest the protests are part of a coordinated effort to destabilize the incoming administration.

george soros· purple revolution· moveon.org· safety pin· color revolution

24:46 You know what they should do. I just thought this would be I mean it's perfect way I've gotten collecting stuff on this because there is a number This is a sorrow sponsored event yes, sir coming up Yes, sir and then it answers the question about the purple the purple oh, I didn't get this yes Oh, I think we may even brought it up very briefly when you're saying why were they all wearing purple? George Soros, then you know and I think we're past the point where we think this is just a conspiracy theory that George Soros starts revolutions. He usually gives them a color. We had the Rose Revolution, The Yellow Revolution... You know think of Georgia, think of Ukraine, think of The Balkans and this was supposed to be the Purple Revolution. The red and blue melding together, the purple revolution

25:35 And this is what the idea was. And I don't think the idea's off, uh...off the books by the way. I think it will continue although we have some little extra self-moral licensing bit that has shown up on the face bags instead of wearing purple. The solidarity can be worn by adorning a safety pin to your clothing It is the secret signal John Huh. Yeah, it's the secret signal you wear a safety pin everyone knows okay you're on our side gotcha gotcha You hate the guy yeah I think they should bring in the Lissa Strada strategy if it's all women If we have a million women marching on DC inauguration day I think that look at this protest

PBS NewsHour Student Reactions and Civil War Fears

A PBS NewsHour segment features diverse reactions from students across the country regarding Donald Trump's victory. While some students expressed hope for business-oriented leadership, others voiced fears of state-sponsored hate, potential war with Russia under Clinton, or a domestic civil war under Trump.

pbs newshour· student reporting labs· civil war· russia· youth politics

26:31 if you're not familiar with Lysistrata, it is a Greek comedy. It plays in Athens like I don't know 300-400 BC where the women withheld sex from the men! Yeah i think all those women should withhold sex. Yes, yes... In fact, I am a little surprised no one's come up with it yet. I think they should do it okay? I have a couple Hollywood responses to what happened what happened. Okay let me get one in the meantime, can I? All right yeah this was done on i think this was done either on One of the networks or PBS, I think it was one of the networks. But this is kind of interesting because this is kids when I think it's PBS. There's kids who had... Because Judy at the end, I believe what he was going to say, oh! Again, kids who can't vote haven't got a clue but they're kids and they were reflecting their parents so you're a kid, you tend to be like your parents in terms of politics rarely not but once in awhile

27:29 There's a bunch of kids, one after the other just kind of they tried to balance it with a little this and a little that mostly at the beginning but after awhile you can tell it was bullcrap. Yeah I wish...I really wish I knew which clip it is A bunch of kids! Ah okay I'm looking at the K I'm sorry When I found out that Donald Trump had won the presidential election I was scared I was just staring at my phone in shock and I had no idea what was going to happen next I'm not devastated that Trump is president. I think it sends a pretty strong message to the American people that something needs to change. A vote for Trump does not mean you are a bigot, racist or anti-woman Maybe the country does need to be run more like a business so we can actually get things done. I just didn't understand how such a hateful man could rise to power so quickly and

28:17 I've been really angry, but now i'm just tired. I'm tired that hate is now state sponsored. I feel like a lot of students people in general educated themselves through social media and what was on television rather than informing themselves. I feel like as minorities as people of color as the LGBT community as Muslims everyone who's ever been prejudiced against and everyone who's ever experienced inequality, we all need to make sure that we stay in school. We handle our business. We're good at everything that we do so that one day in the next election we can make sure that we make our voices heard. We are the ones running for Senate. We are the ones running for President. We are the ones representing us in these communities." My concerns are that Donald is going to lose his temper a little bit sometimes and say some not-so smart things and get some people angry but

29:09 I don't think he's going to make too many bad decisions. I think he knows where he is going, and what he is doing The fact that someone like Trump can be elected the things that he says about women and people of different races the fact it's okay for him say those things now makes it seem more okay for other people to say those things so I think thats my biggest fear My concern is war but that's a concern with any candidate With Hillary its gonna be war with Russia with Trump it will be civil war And the question is who's going to win either of those. Seeing that my generation doesn't want to take action or take responsibility for their future and my future, our future I just don't

29:52 I don't want to stay in a country like this if that's what it is going to be like. There is no doubt the presidential elect came as a huge shock for me, but I call our citizens to have some respect and faith in our country We've made through civil war two world wars the great depression and terrorist attacks but this is not fight we elected someone new president who should not tear us apart he should bring us together Well I saw this report And it's interesting, I pulled different clips from the same report. I want to come back around to that in a moment John? I have some thoughts on the kids unless you have something else you want to add to it now but it might be better... No no right now I just wanted to get in Yes A couple Hollywood reactions of course there's you know Hollywood doesn't stop they're still red carpet so people are out there sticking mics and cameras and people's faces here is film legend Francis Ford Coppola by the way man if you've seen him recently

CHAPTER 15 / 64 Discussion

Francis Ford Coppola and James Brooks on Trump

Film director Francis Ford Coppola expressed an optimistic view of the presidency, describing Donald Trump as imaginative and results-oriented. In contrast, producer James Brooks and other Hollywood figures are noted for their more critical and "eloquent" denunciations of the President-elect.

francis ford coppola· james brooks· hollywood· winery· election reaction

30:47 No. He looks, it's like all of a sudden he aged 20 years very odd I lost weight Yeah he lost a lot of weight and now is completely gray let the hair and the beard everything is gray you almost don't recognize the guy I'm optimistic person and I think the best of everyone I also believe that the office of president itself is an entity. I give all people the benefit of the doubt Donald Trump, to say good things about him which is all I would say he's imaginative and results oriented and not a right wing arch

31:27 You know, either in religion or in politics. You may want to be careful man if you don't keep making movies. He doesn't want to keep making movies he gave up. He hates Hollywood and never liked making movies down there always stayed around San Francisco Bay Area now he owns one of the biggest wineries wine companies in the world yeah he's happy good good well let's try out James Brooks, famous Hollywood producer. What? It's people worried for the country, it's not angry. No he says they're quite eloquent things like hey ho dude Trump is poo or something Yeah those are the ones Trumps a piece of shit and that was like...that's eloquent Little hands can't build a wall yeah That's very... Hey listen I mean that's up there with Plato and Confucius as far as i'm concerned Well there is that

CHAPTER 16 / 64 Discussion

Kyra Sedgwick and the Leftist Bus Tour Concept

Actress Kyra Sedgwick suggested organizing a bus tour for "lefties" from New York and Los Angeles to travel to the middle of the country. The hosts mock the proposal as an elitist attempt to communicate with voters in the Midwest whom they perceive the celebrities view as "dumb."

kyra sedgwick· kevin bacon· midwest· political division· hollywood

32:44 One degree of separation from Kevin Bacon, Keira Sedgwick. I feel mostly just very sad about the state of division in this country. I want to get on a bus with other lefties like myself and who live in New York and LA and go to the middle of the country and let's talk about what makes us similar instead of what divides us Sure, a little late for that maybe but yeah, I live in Los Angeles and New York And I think if I can get on a bus with some other lefties. I think we can communicate with the dumb fucks in the Midwest Yeah, that's pretty much what she said it's pretty much it. Yep. That's pretty much it

CHAPTER 17 / 64 Discussion

Chelsea Handler and Barbara Boxer on Moving to Spain

Comedian Chelsea Handler and Senator Barbara Boxer discussed their distress over the election results on Handler's Netflix show. The hosts mock Handler's desire to move to Spain, noting the irony of celebrities wanting to emigrate while often ignoring the strict immigration laws of European Union nations.

chelsea handler· barbara boxer· spain· ibiza· immigration laws

33:27 Well, the topper for me when she announced her guest I was floored. I knew she was going to be upset Chelsea Handler who does a talk show now on Netflix. She's leaving the country i think? Well no she's not leaving the country and well you see explained it in this clip uh... she got very upset and she had a fellow compatriot with her to console her and bring her words of wisdom but what I mean you cannot You have to pull a clip when it's Chelsea Handler and Barbara Boxer in the same... Oh God! That doesn't get much better than that, does it? Poor Chelsea. I know for a woman as a woman it feels so sexist and I think the message that I want to spread out to other women is

34:18 is exactly what you're saying, is not to give up. Sorry I hate fucking crying on camera but it's not to give up because this is so important and it's easy to say throw in the towel that we're gonna leave or I'm going move to Spain because I want to move to Spain! I really really want to move to Spain right now and everyone at my office like your responsibility your voice and you need to use it and have to deal with it. It's a responsibility to move to Spain Just don't interrupt. Let the girl talk, John. By the way Spain is a very popular destination! Yeah That's what Amy Schumer also... she also wanted to go to Spain I think they all want to go Ibiza and it's just one big party? I think that's the idea because when people like this say Spain yeah i think Chelsea Handler was talking about Ibiza She's not talking about Madrid I don't think she might be. She's a little old for that area. Oh she's a party girl that's all she does

35:12 Well, she should move there and party. But I bet if you took a poll of everyone that says they're going to move to Spain, I'm guessing that probably more than half really mean Barcelona. And guess what? If you want to immigrate into the EU it's not that easy. You can't just say hi, I'm here, I'm moving It doesn't work that way. You know, they have immigration laws that they kind of stick to it's amazing how they do it. Yeah they actually stick to their immigration laws and enforce them Amazing how they do that unless you're a migrant or refugee Alright let's just finish this up Boxer has her thing to say so just listen

CHAPTER 18 / 64 Discussion

Barbara Boxer on Trump's Tax Returns and Poltergeist Reference

Senator Barbara Boxer criticized Donald Trump for not releasing his tax returns and for his past rhetoric, suggesting such behavior should disqualify a candidate. The segment ends with the hosts mocking Boxer's dramatic language about "the darkness" by playing a clip from the movie Poltergeist.

barbara boxer· tax returns· electoral college· poltergeist· darkness

35:56 When you're talking about stuff like the Electoral College and we're talking about, you know rules just the language I think that he used in this candidacy. In my mind should be um... You know that to disqualify somebody from being a candidate if you if your caught lying on camera three times in a row If your referring to woman's genitalia you know like those are non-presidential things un presidential How about never showing your tax returns? The only one in modern history It's ridiculous Hold on a second He was the last one in 40 years. So by her standards, modern history is only 40 years old? Yeah Seriously if we just let it play for 30 seconds and... Okay I'm sorry It's okay because- I just can't take it! I know that she's going to say more irritating things Just try to get through it John Okay I'm mum Presidential How about never showing your tax returns The only one in modern history Ridiculous

36:57 How about, or paying taxes? How about starting to pay taxes. Good point! Or how about paying the contractors that built your property instead of walking away and leaving them to sue you to get paid but we just can't go back to the darkness No I know i know i have to go before the light Run to the light Caroline run as fast as you can! Run to the light baby I did exactly what you told me to do last time. It just doesn't work as well because you keep interrupting the clip, I never get this set up right. You've done that to me a million times in some of these. That was good! You did a good job. As soon they said about the light, I knew you were going to drop some bomb and go like that. Again, you telegraphed it.

37:40 I didn't telegraph anything. I was trying not to tell him, it's the last bit i'm so proud of her. But what you didn't see and that kind of ruins it actually she holds out her hand and then they both clasp hands she says yes we must get out of the darkest run to the light property instead of walking away and leaving them to sue you to get paid We just can't go back to the darkness. I know, I know. I have to go toward the light. Run to the light Caroline! Run as fast as you can! Run to the light baby! Mommy is in the light! Mommy's waiting for you!

38:17 I didn't remember that was him. What movie was that? Oh, Poltergeist. Now a lot of talk and this is for me it was the most interesting because not only did we have a precursor to this which you called correctly, but you called the actual, you know, you called it all correctly. It started with the national anthem, the flag, we're not going to stand there and salute when I dropped one knee on all the football sports stuff and of course as you correctly pointed out let's quash this or get quashed this whole electoral college thing let's nip that in the bud right away or the popular vote really is where you started like oh

CHAPTER 19 / 64 Discussion

Eric Holder and Bill Maher on Abolishing the Electoral College

Former Attorney General Eric Holder appeared on Bill Maher's program to advocate for the abolition of the Electoral College. Holder argued that the system has twice disadvantaged Democrats since 2000 and suggested a constitutional amendment is necessary to ensure the popular vote winner becomes president.

37:40 I didn't telegraph anything. I was trying not to tell him, it's the last bit i'm so proud of her. But what you didn't see and that kind of ruins it actually she holds out her hand and then they both clasp hands she says yes we must get out of the darkest run to the light property instead of walking away and leaving them to sue you to get paid We just can't go back to the darkness.

38:17 I didn't remember that was him. What movie was that? Oh, Poltergeist. Now a lot of talk and this is for me it was the most interesting because not only did we have a precursor to this which you called correctly, but you called the actual, you know, you called it all correctly. It started with the national anthem, the flag, we're not going to stand there and salute when I dropped one knee on all the football sports stuff and of course as you correctly pointed out let's quash this or get quashed this whole electoral college thing let's nip that in the bud right away or the popular vote really is where you started like oh

39:08 How can it be that you won the popular vote and, you know... But still this is crazy. This is just nuts! It can't go this way!" And I have a fun little clip here. Bill Maher brought this up too. Well that's what I have with Eric Holder I watched it, just couldn't clip it. Ah okay so I clipped the bit... Eric Holder former Attorney General is sitting with Bill Maher this was his election special election coverage and that was- I could have pulled a million clips from it but he you know just people are upset not always that fun I have some thoughts about what's really happening though first let's listen to the uh what it would take um to change this electoral college idea But first off how do we solve this problem of uh we win the the election

39:56 But we don't get to be president. Because this has happened twice now since 2000, Al Gore and now Hillary Clinton. And it seems to be happening to one party. Only us only Democrats Right which is of course the way they would want it you kind of can blame them for that but how do we fix that? Well I'm in the process now writing an article that says there's a simple solution to it We have to just abolish the electoral college But they're not going to go along with that. And isn't that a constitutional amendment? Requires a constitutional amendment That is some heavy lifting But alright, so it involves heavy lifting Right Let's lift heavy! Let's do it! We gotta do it I mean its funny cause you know

CHAPTER 20 / 64 Discussion

Voter ID Laws and Equal Protection Clause

The discussion focuses on Eric Holder's claims that restrictive voter ID laws and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act disproportionately affect people of color. Holder suggested that long polling lines in urban areas could be a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.

voter id· voting rights act· eric holder· equal protection clause· republican party

40:37 Always Donald Trump opposite land. He kept saying the election is rigged it is rigged in his favor Yeah, not just that but when you think about the election is on Tuesday instead of a holiday like most countries poor people Can't just say hey I'm taking off for the rest of the afternoon and well our people aren't working Thank You poor people are worried with 23% aren't working That's 23 percent aren't working they can dig out all day to go vote want to do it now did they voted for oh yeah? Oh Oh yeah. Now there's a couple of things here before we continue with this discussion about the electoral college, somebody else pointed out something kind of interesting. Do you want to hear the rest of the Holder clip or do you want to interject here? But does Holder actually say anything besides right everything Bill Maher says? Yeah let's just finish it

41:26 More people can't just say, hey I'm taking off for the rest of the afternoon and voting. Long lines in urban places. Of course gutting the Voting Rights Act where they eliminated polling places all this stuff it's a completely... And then we come up with ideas that need photo ID to show you are who you are. You know there has always been an element in our voting system that had to prove who you were but they've only come up recently with this notion these more restrictive and prescriptive things have a negative impact on those people who are less likely to vote for Republicans. Sadly, sadly. Yeah because you're getting pulled over right? Yes! For no good reason. Of course. You can walk down any street in America and ask do you have a photo ID? Yeah of course I got photo ID yes so this is bullshit Less likely to vote for Republicans and they also happen to affect disproportionately people of color

42:31 Okay, so that's it seems like if one place you can just pop in and vote and the other place there's lines for six hours That would be a violation of the equal protection clause of the Constitution against the equal protection clause of the Constitution And goes against the fundamental thing that binds us as Americans, the ability of the people to decide who their leaders are and what policies those leaders will shape. The Republican party has put itself on the wrong side of history here. 50 years from now people are going to look back and say this is a party that stood for denying people the right to vote. Democrats want as many people...

43:08 Yeah, and we fight them. I'll be dead We fought him while i was at the justice department And that's gonna be a big change That's gonna Be A big change I did a whole bunch of stuff to protect the right to vote you do The next attorney general I suspect will not share my values okay well there You go so yeah Bs Constitution that you know the thing with The constitutional amendment is very simple you just have to have two-thirds Of the states agree and you can Do it sounds like let's yeah Yes, let's make one thing clear. And I think that these guys are so naive about this. It was pointed out by somebody said since the obliteration of the state governments except for California Washington Oregon of course which have been given up on by the Republicans it's close to two thirds of the states already

CHAPTER 21 / 64 Discussion

Electoral College Defense and State Legislature Realities

The hosts defend the Electoral College, arguing it prevents populous states like California and New York from dominating every election. They point out that Republicans control nearly two-thirds of state legislatures, making a Democratic-led constitutional amendment to abolish the system nearly impossible.

electoral college· state legislatures· california· popular vote· constitutional convention

43:56 with Republican majorities, there is actually a fear that if a couple more states go so deeply Republican with all you pretty much owning the state legislature. That the Republicans not the Democrats will ram through a bunch of constitutional amendments. I don't believe this is gonna happen, but they're a lot closer to it than what these two jokers are talking about. There's no way that they could eliminate the Electoral College with the way things are positioned right now and it doesn't look like it's going to change for maybe decades.

44:34 I love, well i would love for you to explain one more time not just for Europeans and other people in other countries who really don't understand how it works. What was...I know the initial reason behind the electoral college was about having more votes because then you could count at least a third of your slaves But ultimately it protects, it protects from pretty much California and New York from winning every single election. If you didn't have an electoral college, which has to account for every single state with a certain much amount. They're still pretty much representative in some states you got four electoral guys that get to go to the meeting. That's not a lot but at least they get four in there especially since these are all winner take all except for Maine.

45:26 But California has so many people and so many electoral votes that they could just dominate. You take, you take the... And all you have to do is appeal to the centers of the population in other words Philadelphia where you have people that vote lockstep Democrat we already know about the 56 districts were there were a hundred percent on one candidate, and just a racist race. Talk about racism! A racist vote for Obama? 100% of everybody in those precincts voted for Obama not one single vote outside of that you would just appeal to the urban's

46:04 the urban centers and you'd get more than that, you win the popular vote because you get California or Oregon Washington in those urban centers mostly. The most populous state being California they just be lording it over everybody forever and if you live in California pothole city You see that there would do goods and services here at 13% by the way is the state income tax. Yeah. A 13 percent of your income goes to a state where they just squander it And it's a very corrupt system. There's a lot of corruption in California because it's easy enough to do, there's no checks and balances. It would be a disaster if the electoral college... I've always believed and I've written essays on this, I have one on my blog and I reposted over the last 10 years that if anybody wants to get rid of the Electoral College, it should be the publishers and newspapers and TV stations

46:56 who don't get all that big money in California, in particular. Because Donald Trump's not gonna run ads in California what's the point? Just a waste of money anyway it was designed to protect Somebody wrote and says, the electoral college should just vote in Hillary. Isn't the Electoral College designed to protect us from putting in the wrong candidate? And my response which I got nothing back from on a tweet back and forth was isn't that what exactly what it did? Yeah exactly well let Hillary win? Anyway...I have some...I'm sorry but I'm just gonna say that is not possible to do that at this point okay at all

Thaddeus Dion Alexander Rant on Anti-Trump Protesters

A viral video rant by Thaddeus Dion Alexander criticizes anti-Trump protesters for their destructive behavior and hypocrisy regarding violence. Alexander labels the protesters "crybabies" and suggests that those who do not respect the American flag should leave the country.

47:39 I have beyond heavy lifting. Let's lift heavy. I have some, uh...I have a conclusion that i came to and this- I'm just circling back now to that PBS News Hour special with the kids. Well do you want to make the conclusion before or after we finish these clips? Well these are- I have clips that build on it like we can go on forever with the clips. Well no we can't because there's only so many clips but Okay! I'll make the conclusion later then I will play a different clip for you with a conclusion You know, a lot of people are doing rants on the face bags. Oh no! Yeah yeah this is Thaddeus Dion Alexander Black guy I'm not quite sure where he's located...I think he's in Los Angeles He did a beautiful little rant Wow now we're protesting? Really?! Man....I don't understand it Obviously there's not Republicans out there causing all this destruction

48:38 You know, burning up the streets blocking roads and things like that. The liberals you know these are the same people that are against the second amendment because they want to decrease violence and nobody should have guns. The same people that anti-abortion because they want to save lives And your causing all this destruction just because your candidate lost See that's the problem with this country. You can't always get your way, everybody wants to be politically correct. Quit being crime babies! Ain't nothing free? You ain't no slave you don't get your way? So you got like a two-year old burning up people stuff

49:22 Destroying the streets, making people late for work. Man I'm glad that don't live in New York City or Washington or Oregon because I would run one of your asses over you are outrageous man! You are the exact reason why Donald Trump won the election Because we're tired of you crybabies. You didn't earn anything, none of you put on a uniform but your quick to disrespect the flag not want to say the pledge of allegiance Not want to recognize the Bible But you won everything! You didn't fight for anything but you won it It doesn't work like that I think it should be all these people out there that wanna protest and burn stuff up? I don't think the cops should protect them

50:09 Obviously, when people look at the flag and say that's not my flag. Donald Trump is not my president then you know what? Then obviously this ain't your damn country! Leave find another flag, find another president go to Mexico I really don't care but quit tearing up stuff quit causing destruction and preaching peace because you're contradicting yourself I'm Deon Alexander, American first.

She starts this off with a long lecture about how we have to prepare for living under an autocratic system as if as if that's possible because of the way the system is structured. But she says it is, you know maybe I don't know what she thinks but let's listen to this clip last night at the New York Review of Books a Russian American journalist named Nasha Gessen published this called Autocracy Rules for Survival quote I have lived in autocracies most of my life What's an autocracy and like

Rachel Maddow and Masha Gessen on Autocracy

Rachel Maddow interviewed journalist Masha Gessen, who discussed "rules for survival" under an autocratic regime. Gessen argued that Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric regarding jailing opponents and deporting citizens indicates he ran for and was elected as an autocrat.

She usually doesn't make it past RT Remarkable new article in the New York Review of Books Ms. Gessen It's real pleasure to have you here Thanks for being with us tonight Thank you for having me

52:35 Donald Trump is not president yet. He has not been a public political figure for all that long. Bullshit! Geez, I think he's been that for 30 years perhaps just the thoughts... For all that long Is there any risk that this is premature, that we're worrying too much about this sort of an outcome before we have enough evidence to know if this is the direction he's going? Well it's possible. But I find this argument rather strange All information that we have for now about Donald Trump is information that has given us himself and he has given plenty of it He's talked about jailing his opponents, he's talked about deporting U.S. citizens

53:18 citizens. He's talked about compelling the military to commit war crimes." These are things he said, he has not said I will be a normal politician. He has not said disregard everything i've said it's just campaign hyperbole so why are we sort of insisting that we should keep an open mind and treat him like a normal politician when so far he's given us no reason to suggest that he's a normal politician and every reason to think that he ran for autocrat and was elected to be autocrat. Oh, Civics 101 people, civics 101. No but I you know when i was voting i didn't see it said autocrat because she says he ran for auto crap And-and was elected as autocrat It was elected autocrat! What? I must have had a different screen myself

Austin Voting Machine Experience and Paper Ballots

Adam Curry describes his experience using an unusual voting machine in Austin that featured a "mushy" screen and a physical scroll wheel. The hosts express a preference for paper ballots and scanners as a more reliable method for ensuring election integrity.

austin· voting machines· paper ballots· game boy· election integrity

54:06 I did not have that exact same ballot. What kind of voting? Did you have a voting machine? No, we had paper ballots and then went through our scanner and then they were saved so the paper ballots ended up in a big bin so you always go back over them It was interesting here in Austin Because, you know of course I looked up my polling place and it had a little explanation of how the voting machines worked. And it looked when I saw the explanation, the picture, it looked like kind of was an oversized Game Boy with wheels and big buttons and stuff on screen so I didn't know exactly what to expect then when I walked in at the booth

54:44 This thing was, you know must have been two feet tall. And the first thing you do is you want to press on the screen and nothing's happening in fact the screen has a really low grade feel like one of those early laptops where you push it and then... Right it was kind of spongy Yeah when you see your fingerprint in LCD you know? Yeah it was mushy mushy So it wasn't a touchscreen, there was this big wheel and you spun the wheel click-click-click. And that would move the cursor and then you'd have to hit the enter button. It was very odd like hello. I haven't seen that we had machines once... We've had, I mentioned this before, we've had all the different kinds of things but they went a couple years ago to these scanners in those paper ballots. And I think that's the way to go. Oh yeah! I think Inkwell finger in the ink well that's the way to go. Yeah. I remain

CHAPTER 25 / 64 Discussion

Mark Shields and David Brooks on Working Class Revolt

On PBS NewsHour, analyst Mark Shields argued that the election was a revolt of the working class against the ruling elite rather than a purely racial issue. David Brooks countered by emphasizing the racial elements of the message, while Shields noted that many Trump voters had previously supported Barack Obama.

mark shields· david brooks· pbs newshour· working class· racism card

55:32 I have two clips that I want to get to before we get to your thing. Because Brooks and Shields reappeared finally on PBS. And the funny thing was, Shields was magnanimous Brooks, well for example let me give you a sense of how Brooks is dealing with this whole thing. Here's David Brook- play this clip This is David Brooks' Tiffany Snyderum comment Children his son in law on that committee he said today that he's uh... In an interview with the Wall Street Journal That he's thinking about keeping part of the healthcare reform law after talking to President Obama about it so what are we to think? Maybe this not going to be

56:15 all the big moves that were hinted at during the campaign? Obviously outrage, Tiffany did not get a job. Maybe she'll get Fed chairman or something. Oh what a dick! I got two clips. One says Shields analysis good, which is the one i want you to play first okay this is shields with an outstanding i thought analysis of what was really going on and how the liberals looked at it all the rest of it now he don't forget he's supposed to be representing the democrats brooks is supposed to represent the republicans in this back-and-forth what did you hear? What do you think voters are saying? uh... first thing that bothers me my liberal friends, too many of them I think who want immediately run to the race card um... there's a fact is that uh... it's just most dangerous place to be uh... on the political scale as to

57:14 brand those on the other side as racist. That is the atomic bomb, that's the nuclear weapon of America. Once I accuse you of racism and demonize you and it means any future collaboration between us is a sign of my moral deficiency if I would deal with someone like that. It just It's a terrible thing to do. I say that for factual reason, Barack Obama carried Iowa, carried Wisconsin, carried Michigan. He not only carried Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan twice he carried the majority of the white vote in those states and so Hillary Clinton lost them Donald Trump won them and it's a little transparent defaults to say that people are racist these are the same voters who would vote for an African-American

58:01 man and did not vote for the white woman Democrat. So I think that's dangerous, I think Judy it was a revolt of working class Americans. I think it was revolt against us in the press. I think it was a revolt against the ruling class who were indifferent to their plight or the fact that for a generation their standard living has declined or that their children's futures are blighted I thought Peter Hart and Dan McGinn, when they wrote that the people who led this revolution are foreign to Washington and New York. They don't go to Starbucks and they don't take their children on college tours. They care about high school sports more than about pro sports. They go to Walmart

58:46 McDonald's and they have declining incomes, and they think their grandparents and parents built this country. They scream that they want their country back." And I think that...I think they saw indifference from the ruling elites both public and private particularly private Wow, a moment of clarity. How nice! A moment of clarity? So let's go to the other side and see what Brooks has to say after listening to what you just heard. This is Shields analysis Brooks. You said it wasn't race and yet David people many people of color are saying they feel the message is directed at them right so there's a racial element here that's clearly a racial element. Oh dick

Hillary Clinton Blames James Comey for Election Loss

Reports from Ed Klein and the New York Times indicate that Hillary Clinton blamed FBI Director James Comey and President Barack Obama for her election loss during a conference call with donors. Clinton reportedly felt Comey's letters regarding her email investigation were the primary cause of her defeat.

59:27 That's all he got to say. Listen, if it was purely a racial element then perhaps Hillary Clinton would have said you know it was racial that's why I lost no instead she doesn't say that I'm sure you heard what she said to her donors What? Oh no, she had a conference call. Oh yeah she had a conference... Well you know what here's Ed Klein from he is former editor of New York Magazine and he gave us post-election he gave us the details on what happened why Hillary Clinton did not appear and who she blamed it on which it now recognized fact to me

1:00:07 There's a lot of ways you can remember Hillary Clinton. First, let me ask you have we seen the last of her? Do you believe that... well what do you think are true? We saw her today she teared up when she said it was a very painful experience but what was her reaction while the results were coming in? Well here is what I know not my opinion about 630 this morning she called an old friend She was crying inconsolably. She couldn't stop crying and her friend said she, her female friend from way way back said it was even hard to understand what she was saying as she was crying so hard this is Hillary we're talking about eventually her friends that she could make out that she was blaming

1:00:54 James Comey, the director of the FBI for her loss and in this I don't understand exactly The president of the United States for not doing enough Really? Yes Huh. Now, when I said to the source what did she mean by that? She said well, Hillary felt that the president could have stopped Comey a long time ago because that's what Bill also said. Not that he didn't campaign enough but that he didn't do enough within the realm of the FBI investigation Yes exactly. I mean you know with the Clintons and especially with Hillary it's never her fault. Well of course! Do you think she went to bed

1:01:36 Early not thinking she won but because she you know went to bed and then woke up at 630 found out and called her friend No, no. She stayed up all night. Okay? Okay And but but with the Clintons is it's always somebody else's fault Yeah, and it's been this way with Hillary all her career there You go so she and this has been confirmed multiple people who were on the phone call when she spoke to donors for 30 minutes that you confirmed and New York Times has now written us up as confirmed that she blames it squarely on Comey and the two Comey letters, and the president for not tamping Comey down more. So the racial argument according to you're the candidate is not true. It's all Comey's fault I like that though poor guy. I think she's right. Probably okay now we've talked about this on the show everyone who listens to this show consistently knows what we think about

Trump and Obama Meeting on Affordable Care Act

Following a meeting with President Obama, Donald Trump indicated he might consider keeping certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act, such as coverage for pre-existing conditions and allowing children to stay on parents' insurance until age 26. The hosts note that the Obamas canceled the traditional "First Family" photo op during the transition visit.

donald trump· barack obama· affordable care act· pre-existing conditions· white house

1:02:36 Everything Comey's done and what it was designed to do when everyone else was saying oh He's a terrible person for not Decharging her and we discussed how what he what he said in not charging. Her wasn't was was a condom a condemnation condemnation damn so None of this was a surprise to us. Somebody wrote me an email saying, you know it's funny when I was watching all this stuff going on because there is no agenda... It all is making sense to me while everyone else is gone. Exactly. Now in your clip, in the previous clip it was mentioned of after the meeting that Trump had with Obama he said you know I'm considering two things about the Affordable Care Act and the two things that I also think are fantastic which is pre-existing conditions

1:03:31 And having your kids, you know the legal ability. I don't know why it wouldn't be legal and why can't you make... Why can't you have someone on your insurance until they're 50? But okay for some reason there was some cutoff date put in there and that was then raised to 26. I think that's good actually! I'm like wow here's someone who may be listening to the other side at least that was the illusion that was given i liked it a lot good start The president and the president-elect sat down, did their little thing. I did want to mention that all the other traditional photo ops etc were all canceled by the Obamas. There is a longstanding tradition speaking of releasing tax returns... Long standing tradition that there's a photo op with the president, the first lady and the President Elect and the incoming First Lady. The Obama has canceled that! That's lame

CHAPTER 28 / 64 Discussion

Rand Paul on Repealing Executive Regulations

Senator Rand Paul expressed excitement about the first week of the new Congress, planning to repeal numerous executive regulations he deems unconstitutional. Paul argued that the Obama administration's "extremist academics" have stifled business and that Trump will sign these repeals to boost the economy.

rand paul· deregulation· founding fathers· executive branch· jobs

1:04:25 That's just that's just that's tiny. That's little, little man spite you know? That's just not okay my personal opinion. You're going to sit there and do the press conference... He's hurt! Oh he's... Look at in his face. He did not like this the way this came out and he thought it was a slap in his face. Of course. He took everything personally of course Along those lines, of course what is going to happen with the Affordable Care Act? Rand Paul who was marginalized very early on in the primary sent to the little children's table debate in the afternoon. Well he's now basking it! He's loving this! I think we're gonna spend the first month

1:05:02 passing repeal of Obama regulations, and they will be signed by Trump. So I think there'll be a half-a-dozen regulations repealed in the first week of Congress and this is something i'm excited to do because most of these regulations haven't been written by congress. I think they're unconstitutional because they've been... basically the executive is legislating and that was never the intention of the founding fathers so I think you're going to find that we're going to repeal half dozen or more regulations in the first week of Congress and I'm excited about it because i think the regulations have been killing our jobs and making us less competitive with the world. I think the interesting thing you're going to find is that, I think he'll have a pro-business agenda this administration has been very anti business most people in the Obama administration never held jobs in the real world they were extremists academics who want to regulate everything that moved so I think you will find that we will

1:05:56 will and you have the mound of dirt between the rows, they call that mini mountains and they're regulating that as mountain ranges. The government has gone crazy with regulations none of them have been passed by Congress I think you're going to see repeal in the first week and i think you'll see Donald Trump sign them. There you go Ryan Paul attacking the efficient government on the inside

Post-Election Financial Market Surge and Retail Outlook

Financial markets saw a significant post-election surge, with banks and industrial stocks reaching record highs. Analysts on CNBC noted that trading volume hit all-time records at the CME Group, while major retailers like Macy's and Nordstrom provided positive outlooks for the holiday season.

cme group· dodd-frank· e-trade· nordstrom· stock market

1:06:34 We'll see how that works out. Speaking of business, finally a full on just a beautiful CNBC report post election of the entire financial markets. Happy Friday everybody! Markets pausing and for very good reason. We're reaching limits about how far we can go without more policy initiatives or indications of what's going to happen just look at the major groups here for the week here banks up double digits 12 percent farmers up 9% industrials up a coppers up 20%. RSI relative strength indicator 100 I've never seen that means it's about as much overbought as you could possibly get at this point so again, we gotta see a little more details on what's gonna happen on

1:07:11 Obamacare, on Dodd-Frank, on tax cuts. Did you see this letter of 600 doctors to President Elect Trump basically pushing back on the idea of higher drug prices? Don't allow the pharmaceutical lobby to set terms for drug pricing specifically saying allow the government negotiate Medicare drug prices. This is very controversial issue but basically the idea Just going higher on drug stocks, on the idea you can raise prices is not gonna work here for a lot of people. So we're getting some pushback already on this idea. Speaking of going up and moving up this week did you see the asset managers and some brokerage firms that have been moving this week, all of them are on the upside. So E-Trade and Schwab are up double digits, Piper Jaffray is up really big there's some hopes this fiduciary standard rule might be changed or repealed CMA Group has had an amazing group so these are all stocks that benefit

1:08:01 When trading goes up, their earnings tend to go up. Higher rates are also a benefit for E-Trade and Schwab Did you see what happened? The CME Group put out a press release yesterday basically saying it was the highest record day of all time for them All time records in crude oil futures All time records in 10 year treasury options trading S&P weekly options Gold and copper futures All time record. This is really an extraordinary week for the trading community and there's a lot of hope maybe, maybe trading is back in some kind of way by the way their CEO is retiring this week Terry Duffy will be back with them as for retail A lot of discussion like well what's really changed in retail

1:08:42 Well, what's kind of changed is much better commentary out there. Nordstrom, Macy's and Kohl's cited improving sales trends. They gave kind of uplifting outlooks for the key holiday season. We'll hear more from Walmart and Target in Home Depot next week. JCPenney was down today not quite as strong as the other ones were but overall The commentary, very good. Finally from historic highs guys SP just 1% away Russell Midcap got a little bit further to go what an extraordinary week yes yes well so that didn't quite That prediction didn't quite come true. It worked out pretty much the way we described it in DH Unplugged, which is going to go down, which it only did on the overnights and did yeah, it went down 700 not just one point shy of all time high on that. It's gonna break a lot of records this market before he even gets an office is going to be way up there as you think it's possible with the crash will happen after he's inaugurated or before? What do you think? It's got happened. The crashes are gonna happen in June or July. Oh okay so I have a couple months under the belt

CHAPTER 30 / 64 Discussion

George Soros 1995 Interview and Profit Motive

The hosts revisit a 1995 "60 Minutes" interview where George Soros described himself as "amoral" and focused on profit. They speculate on how Soros might be profiting from the current street protests and his influence over organizations like MoveOn.org and the Sierra Club.

george soros· 60 minutes· moveon.org· sierra club· amoral

1:09:42 Now, here's the question I have. Just reflecting on these clips and especially the riots and Soros there was a good 60 minutes thing about Soros that looked like it took place during the Clinton presidency. And it's floating around the internet so... Yes, yeah, it's a little YouTube meme. montage, a little YouTube thing. It's from 60 minutes in about 1995 and there was a revelationary or kind of a thing at least to me it was revelationary where he he's being interviewed as Soros is you know younger man and he says um he doesn't look so much like it's a Sith back back in the day yeah and he says yeah everything actually looks a bit like Michael Douglas

1:10:34 When he was younger. Oh back in the yeah, maybe a little bit anyway He says that everything he does is for profit and he's amoral And he does every-everything... Everything is methodology for making money It doesn't matter how he does it I think he also kind of alludes to that Yeah he sees like revolutions? No problem Yeah, he's done corrupted countries. He's done all kinds of things so the question remains he is financing apparently to more or less taking over the money at move on org also I noticed that they even solicited running pretty much the game at Sierra Club. Yep Yeah, I didn't know that either. I saw that too. I didn't realize yeah was gonna stunned by that So what is his game?

1:11:17 in pushing for these protests, these riots on the streets. And now it looks like the inauguration day is gonna have some million... There's posters around I've got to put one in the newsletter that Eric dug up from The Dark Web and there's a bunch of stuff that Soros is behind what is where's the profit? Where's the money to be made I don't know, but I know who... I have one. I don't know either. I was just like- I know who to ask! The banker? Yeah, former New York banker. Ask him exactly that and I think he'll have already figured out the strategy. It's probably really simple. It might be. No, I'll ask him. But we can like that one guy in that presentation, Steve, who is just apparently a coattail guy. He says whatever Soros does, I do which is a reasonable way to do things

1:12:14 Lopez-Garcia has lost a few bets. Yes, but for the most part everything he does is if it's everything he does is to make money everything that means these riots are there these people are pawns right in some and money and to be based on what our producer said not all these riots are you know with a Jean provocateur I mean there is legitimate movement happening when you have a hundred thousand people in New York City. I think that something is legitimate about what's happening, but these of course may be just hey time to go out you know whatever started it it was kind of irrelevant. I'm gonna move my deconstruction after we thank some people but I have two more clips

CHAPTER 31 / 64 Discussion

Michael Moore on "Friendly Fascism" and Resistance

Michael Moore appeared on "Morning Joe" to warn of a "massive resistance" against the Trump administration. Moore cited Bertram Gross's 1980 book "Friendly Fascism," suggesting that Trump's narcissism and lack of ideology will lead him to unintentionally break laws and face impeachment.

michael moore· morning joe· bertram gross· friendly fascism· narcissism

1:12:56 The first is Michael Moore who showed up on the Morning Joe's show and gave again a little more background as to what the protests will be for and how they're going to be used. And I guess what his idea is, as to what has to happen... He put together a to-do list for the Angries? For the Angries? The Angries! Let's use that. The Angries alright well I like that. So we have the newcomers versus the Angries But newcomers are the angries. I don't know, the angries We are going to resist we are going to oppose you these demonstrations You're seeing in the streets when it's in places last night like Milwaukee and Nashville Not exactly Berkeley in Ann Arbor All right This is going to continue tonight And the next night and the next time and all he has to do is start Nominating Rudy Giuliani as Attorney General and things like that or his Supreme Court This is going to be a massive resistance there's already

1:13:54 already of women are calling for a million woman march on the end and inauguration uh... day and there's going to be the largest demonstration ever um... by on inauguration day in every demonstrations i've also organized this is your nothing you see nothing like the that everything that they were going into hillary the obstruction but they did to obama for years and and and putting our trial for impeachment Let me just say, I was just saying to Lupica there in the room that here's what is going to happen. This is why we're not going to have to suffer through four years of Donald J Trump because he has no ideology except the ideology of Donald J Trump and when you have a narcissist like that who so narcissistic where it's all about him He will maybe unintentionally break laws

1:14:44 Because he's only thinking about what's best for aren't you now wishing ill on him instead of I don't have to wish ill He is ill. I think he is ill. He's he is racist. He isn't misogynist. He has an authoritarian This Bertram gross a philosopher was in a hole Xenophobes. He didn't say xenophobe, it's part of the list! Nah he missed it now. You gotta sharpen up there Mike. He is a misogynist he is an authoritarian this Bertram Gross a philosopher who was no longer with us wrote a book in 1980 called Friendship. Do you know Bertram Gross? Any idea what that is? Nope. Sounds like a really obscure reference, who cares? He was an authoritarian. Bertram Gross, the philosopher who's no longer with us wrote a book in 1980 called Friendly Fascism and what he said was that the fascism of the 21st century would not be concentration camps and cattle cars and all that. Oh too bad! It would come with a smiley face maybe even a TV show And it would be popular and you say all the right things people will willingly

CHAPTER 32 / 64 Discussion

J20 General Strike and Inauguration Protest Planning

The "J20" hashtag on social media is being used to organize a general strike and massive protests for Inauguration Day on January 20th. The hosts note the coincidence that J-20 is also the name of a Chinese stealth fighter and claim the movement is being pre-organized by Soros-funded groups.

j20· general strike· inauguration· stealth fighter· twitter hashtag

1:15:46 Bring him in and give up their rights even to him. This is what we're this is what we're facing Oh boy, whoo That's some philosopher How are we facing it? To that extreme if they're gonna have a million people marching and he's gonna keep them make him break the law somehow I know why he's gonna do this bullcrap. I'll tell you this there's million man thing yet Million woman million one of a million bull crap us one then plus one the The hashtag for this is J20 on Twitter. So you do a hashtag, J20, do a search on the hashtag J20 and that is your sub kind of like a subreddit for all practical purposes. You'll get all the...you'll find all the people involved in this. What does it stand for?

1:16:33 Jet January 20th. Oh, duh okay J 20 and that's interesting Let me take a look right now so the j-20 thing will be the hashtag and it's being kept away from The normal people don't know about this as you know read the man on the street But yes You can see it all the planning is in there also I see here when united we resist general strike is being called for J 20 right off the bat here Yeah, they want a general strike. Don't go to work and don't do this, don't do that." And the general strike and a big march on Washington and all this is already being pre-organized... Adam- There it is! This is J20 hashtag J20 General Strike no work, no school, no fascist USA. Hmm. Right? And so this is being organized as we speak. Yeah, this is definitely move on and that is completely financed by Soros these days. We know because move on is not hiding it

1:17:33 By the way, hashtag J-20 also brings up the new J-20 stealth fighter from China. Which is kind of funny That is funny, actually. You see all these like January 20 general strike and then you see like all these jets. The jets? Oh man! So there's no this is not a spontaneous thing this is and they had it this way in advance your get you got fair warning anyone who wants to do the research of course at this show does a lot of the research for you so you now have a heads up on J20 And you'll see, you know... I think it's just a bunch of bullcrap that is being orchestrated by Soros for some financial return. That's what we're gonna find out. These people are being used! Abused? Well they're being abused too but that's true. But they have no jobs so they got time to do this. The generals strike my butt these people don't even work

Academic Impact of Election Stress on Children

A PBS NewsHour report explores how teachers are putting academic goals on hold to deal with students' emotional distress following the election. A California pre-K teacher noted that even very young children are absorbing their parents' stress, leading to increased aggression and crying in the classroom.

pbs newshour· pre-k· academic goals· child psychology· election trauma

1:36:52 And yes, you can use those little kids out there to do something like... I don't know. Propagate the formula! Our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth Hey citizens Shut up slave All right. Well, I want to circle back to the children and what I mean really the millennials and the kids who are very distraught very upset um i got a lot of response to our which I didn't think was when I listened to it I didn't think my rant was particularly all that good uh oh people loved it I know And but at first there were way too many f-bombs I felt Um there was...I don't know yeah people liked it

1:37:45 But I could have done better, but it doesn't matter. People like to respond to it and I needed to do some investigation about what I see is abusive children how their heads are being filled with all kinds of information and now the abuse is almost doubling down if you hear some of the clips we played earlier So I'm going to go back to that PBS NewsHour report where you had the clip of the kids. I actually pulled a clip of the teachers there were two teachers who were speaking And there were some things that were said in there that I think we're interesting and kind of led me down a path of understanding what happened, and where we can actually focus some blame perhaps. For a closer look now, we turn to Kavitha Cardoza of Education Week who's been talking to teachers across the country, and Mariama Richards, an administrator at Friends Central School just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Kavitha let me start with you. What have you found in your reporting in the past couple days? Well this is something

1:38:39 teachers are used to. They have been dealing with these emotions through the campaign season, the election results just made it more concrete. Children in schools are just a microcosm of society and so they're not surprised at all that some of these emotions are spilling into the classroom." So are these the students own opinions or are they parroting what their parents say at home? I think a bit of both with the teenagers we just saw. Some of it is their own, because they are reading newspapers and watching the television themselves. Oh really? But I spoke to a teacher in California and she teaches pre-K and she says children just absorb the stress of their parents

1:39:20 And so she teaches in a very diverse community, um, a lot of Muslims, a lot of immigrants. She said she has noticed that the children are more aggressive they're more prone to crying very emotional So she and other teachers have actually put the learning the academic goals on hold Yeah what would happen back in the day when I was in school if you had a kid that was aggressive or constantly crying You know what happened? Like, this kid may have some problems at home. We should talk to the teacher or the parents. Something's going on. You know? There's something not well with that household." Today it's just normal. Okay? Oh well there is stress so we'll just have to help them here I guess. Teachers have actually put the learning—the academic goals on hold with these children and they've said you know what let's create our own curriculum how to be a good friend how to listen how to become when you get when you feel upset

CHAPTER 41 / 64 Discussion

School Community Splits and Engagement Struggles

Mariama Richards of Friends Central School describes a split in her school community, where some students find it difficult to engage with peers who voted for Trump. The discussion highlights the struggle of maintaining a cohesive community when students perceive the "other side" as viewing them as less than human.

philadelphia· friends central school· social contract· student engagement· political divide

1:40:12 She said a lot of the parents are stressed about maybe being—their families being split up, maybe losing health care if ObamaCare goes away. Mariama Richards, what kind of things have you been grappling with at your school or that teachers have been coming to you with? One of the biggest issues that is in front of us right now is a community that wants to see change happen, that felt really connected to the election season—regardless of which side that particular student or family was on. And now they're grappling with kind of how do they push through some of the values that they really do love and appreciate about the community that they're building, and finding that there's a split in perspective on how to move forward. For example, there are students who feel so angry and upset now that it's hard for them to think about engaging those who may have voted for our current president-elect

1:41:06 because they see that engagement as with people who think less of them, who don't think that they're full human beings. While there are other students who may not necessarily be on the side of the president-elect, as well, but they are in a position where they feel like this is an opportunity for us to learn what the other side of the world is thinking. And so even in places where where you have commonalities in terms of goals, we're still seeing students really struggle with kind of what's our best case forward moving forward. Okay a couple of things... Wait wait wait she said other side of the world? Yeah yeah I know yeah no it's ridiculous this is

1:41:46 This is not how you need to handle this. And I, although schools are doing what they can we've heard now that the teachers are equally as upset and also propagating all kinds of doom and gloom and doom scenarios. Well then I can add this clip which backs you up a little bit seems to me. And this is the where is this? Where's this clip? I don't know. Trump, no? I said i don't know which clip you're talking about so...

CHAPTER 42 / 64 Discussion

Teacher Placed on Leave for Hitler Comparison

Frank Navarro, a history teacher and Holocaust expert at Mountain View High School, was placed on paid leave after comparing Donald Trump's rhetoric to that of Adolf Hitler. Navarro defended his lesson as historically factual, citing parallels in the focus on foreigners and national greatness.

mountain view high school· adolf hitler· frank navarro· holocaust expert· paid leave

1:42:26 This should be about the high school. Oh yeah, I got it! You don't even have to say it...I have it. The clip about Trump High School. Hollywood's Walk of Fame which started at Trump's star they say now is the time to begin the healing process for all Americans. Demonstrators also hit Market Street today in San Francisco It was a peaceful protest but in the South Bay another political battle is brewing over a high school teacher who has been placed on paid leave for comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler and today he told our Maria Medina that he'd do it again Hopefully we'll all learn from this. Frank Navarro doesn't know when he'll be in front of the classroom again after one of his history lessons Why did you feel it was appropriate to compare Donald Trump to Hitler? Because I think it is historically factual The Mountain View High teacher is accused of calling Trump Adolf Hitler and racist but he says that didn't happen

1:43:19 Instead, he insists he talked to his ninth grade class about both presidential candidates. And as a Holocaust expert, he drew parallels to the president-elect and Hitler. Hitler said he'd make Germany great again Donald Trump said he had made America great again Hitler focused on the Jews and the Poles as foreigners, and that they should be driven from Germany. Donald Trump is focused on Muslims. Navarro isn't the only Bay Area teacher in a hot seat after Trump's win including an Olpetus principal also on leave for using profanity about Trump Right so teachers are not helping That guy is a douchebag by the way What a comparison with Hitler Wow okay

CHAPTER 43 / 64 Discussion

Media Influence on Youth and the John Oliver Effect

The hosts investigate where millennials are getting their political information, concluding that late-night host John Oliver has an outsized influence. They identify "The John Oliver Effect" as a primary source of disinformation for young people who rely on YouTube clips rather than traditional news sources.

john oliver· social media· youth information· media deconstruction· voting guide

1:44:00 No, they're not helping. That's the point. All right. I caught a little something in the first clip that I played was like kids read newspapers And kids watch television? Hmm. Let's go back to the beginning of that report you had with the kids, I'm just going to reroute to that for a second. Teachers and parents across the country report heightened anxiety and disappointment among some students even in number of school walkouts in recent days In other cases incidents of intimidation and bullying have been reported including graffiti with swastikas calls for white power in a Pennsylvania high school And Michigan middle school students chanting build that wall during lunch period. The NewsHour student reporting labs gathered these reactions from across the country When I found out that Donald Trump had won the presidential election, I was scared. I was just staring at my phone in shock and I had no idea what would happen next

1:44:51 I've been really angry, but now i'm just tired. I'm tired that hate is now state-sponsored." I feel like a lot of students people in general educated themselves through social media and what was on television rather than informing themselves. Okay here's where my research started...I know one thing for sure these kids are not reading newspapers and they are not watching television So, where are they getting their information from? And I reached out to a number of millennials who listen to the show. I reached out to a number...I had a lot of parents emailing me about the rant saying spot on and I said if you have kids who are really messed up where are they getting their information from what are their facts

1:45:40 What are they using as fact? What is their bastion of truth?" And I figured it out. And and and i'm kicking myself because I feel that we have failed in deconstructing media, but I know why it happened because this one person... It's one person John who still left who was responsible for this um Guffawed at one of his analyses and kind of left it for what it was. I'm like, screw that guy we're not going to listen to him And meanwhile he became the guy who whose show clips are taken from and used as proof As proof in fact He even did something called The Voting Guide Which we completely missed! I didn't watch any more These guys a douchebag Do you know who I am talking about? No

CHAPTER 44 / 64 Discussion

Jihad on John Oliver and Media Influence

Adam Curry declares a "jihad" on John Oliver, accusing him of using snark and ridicule to misinform millennials. The hosts criticize Oliver's past coverage of net neutrality and his transition from a failed British comic to a highly influential, award-winning media figure.

john oliver· jon stewart· peabody award· emmy awards· net neutrality

1:46:32 John Oliver. Oh, yeah No We've talked about John Oliver but John Oliver and I have I have a pool you think he's over he had over influence So this started this is when yes This started and I'm putting hand in my own bosom here when he did his net neutrality show Which we thought was the stupidest wrong? Wrongly poorly informed douchebag deconstruction of what was really going on I just stopped watching him Apparently, it was that episode that coined the phrase The John Oliver Effect. And when you look at his Wikipedia page—I've never done that why would I? Why would I look at it? He is credited with changing laws! There's a whole section on influence and The John Oliver Effect which of course is logical because we know everyone was watching The Jon Stewart Show

1:47:31 And Jon Stewart, for whatever reason he didn't want to be a part of this. But he direct I mean his executive producer, he directly influenced the very funny comedy that John Oliver puts together and of course Stephen Colbert was supposed to do that on network TV. He failed because you know it was funny when he was making fun of Republicans by pretending to be one but then he had to make fun of Republicans without pretending to be one and he can't do it as just now he can't fit but that was kind of his mission And so I said to parents, please what are your kids showing you as proof that Hillary Clinton was the candidate over Donald Trump? And what surfaced is this voting guide. He did a whole bunch of episodes on this and kids say... Well they also put it on YouTube Oh big time! No it's all YouTube none of them watch HBO It's all the YouTube clips I think showtime

1:48:29 I thought it was HBO. Oh, might be but i thought it was Showtime regardless the push on uh on YouTube And you know the guy is one he won a Peabody Award a Peabody Award Intellectual content for journalism, I mean he's won Multiple primetime Emmy Awards. He is heralded as someone who tells it straight we for a longest time especially the net neutrality issue People are like, oh he's great. He breaks it down." No he was wrong! It was stupid. It was not at all factual certainly not from a technical perspective so we messed it up by not... I am calling a jihad on John Oliver everything that cocksucker says and fills these little children's heads with I'm gonna go...I am personally going to bring that A-hole down failed British comic So let me give you an example just one example

1:49:26 of what he, how he compared Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump. And this was sent from millennials to their parents as like this is proof that did you use important? You watch this video here is the proof why you need to not vote for Donald Trump and I'm picking up the piece that we actually know a lot about which is The Clinton Foundation So he's going to deconstruct the Clinton Foundation and then compare that, he is gonna try to compare it to the Trump Foundation. There is a small difference of I don't know couple billion dollars versus one million dollars but just listen to the words listened to what he says listens to how he covers over

CHAPTER 45 / 64 Discussion

John Oliver's Deconstruction of the Clinton Foundation

The hosts analyze a John Oliver segment regarding the Clinton Foundation. They argue that Oliver glossed over serious allegations, such as the use of untested AIDS drugs from India, by focusing on the foundation's global health ratings and minimizing potential conflicts of interest at the State Department.

john oliver· clinton foundation· hiv treatment· conflict of interest· state department

1:50:04 the wrong from Hillary Clinton. Let's now move on to the Clinton Foundation Six months ago, it was known as the top-rated global foundation that has among other things helped millions around the world access lower cost HIV treatment The controversy with the Clinton Foundation is not so much what they did with their money It's the possible conflict of interest in taking donations from individuals and foreign governments with business before the State Department Now I just want to say that right off the bat, of course you don't expect it but these kids never have heard about um the untested AIDS drugs. Right guys from India? Yeah

1:50:44 They never heard about that, so he's not going into it. But of course they did great things with the money. And then the rating thing was only after the rating service got a big kickback of $1 million? Two million dollars and then all of sudden without changing their numbers at all... He didn't mention that you're right. Of course not now I mean this but this is important. Okay let's start i'm gonna stop you right here first just to split second And I wanna mention to you, and I think you're right. I think you're onto something. I probably should have thought this myself but what happened in the early...at the very beginning of listening to John Oliver, you had dismissed him because...and you had this...it's a very mini rant. It says what is a British guy doing criticizing the American systems?

1:51:28 You made that point for some reason, and I kind of just... I know why it's important. The one thing we've learned in deconstructing the media is a British accent always stands for quality and truth. Yeah no we know that But you were just irked about that and I, we probably... Okay. I think you're onto something here. Or the State Department. Yeah John Oliver is really a bad actor in all this. He shouldn't be getting all these awards. Not really a bad actor he is directly responsible for disinforming millennials. Of course they have no way to

CHAPTER 46 / 64 Discussion

Uranium One and the "To Be Fair" Rhetoric

The discussion deconstructs John Oliver's defense of the Uranium One deal involving Russia. The hosts highlight Oliver's use of the phrase "to be fair" as a rhetorical device to dismiss "pay for play" allegations by pointing to the involvement of nine different government agencies in the approval process.

uranium one· russia· pay for play· nuclear regulatory commission· john oliver

1:52:07 guard their own reality and you know there's it's not like parents are teaching them how to. And he's doing a good, he's using the old John Stewart technique of ridicule minimize minimizing the impact with some gag yeah oh yeah well just listen again it's only one segment uh sorry It is no so much what they did with their money its possible conflict of interest in taking donations from individuals and foreign governments with business before the state department So he's doing the right thing here. He's saying, look there this conflict of interest thing and he's actually going to go into some depth about the memorandum etc but again he's going to really just gloss over the true facts. And to be fair in 2008... Oh yeah! There's a lot of this that's it whenever he says and to be fair that's his tell that he's gonna kind of say oh well to be fair she didn't do it exactly right

1:53:00 But forget about it. It's always preceded by to be fair. But a few slip through there's one involving Algeria don't just slip through generating half a million dollars Although there's no proof that State Department policy was swayed as a result more concerning is one involving Russia Which does sound bad, but? Basically, the Canadian chairman of the mining company that was eventually sold to Russia had also given money to The Clinton Foundation. But instead of doing it directly he gave it through this Canadian affiliate which didn't disclose his name because they didn't have to because the affiliate wasn't actually included in that agreement The Clinton Foundation signed with the Obama administration so neither the law nor the agreements were technically violated though the spirit of the agreement definitely was So instead of saying

1:54:00 That's kind of finding a loophole and cheating on the agreement. He says, yeah it wasn't really in the spirit but oh come on it wasn't just the State Department. So again this looks bad especially given that the State Department did sign off on the sale of that uranium mine to Russia but Not only was Hillary not involved in that decision, but eight other federal agencies plus the Nuclear Regulatory Commission also had to sign off which they did. So this donation was legal but very annoyingly handled and any suggestion of pay for play fails to account for the separate actions of nine unrelated government agencies." Wow! That's- what a conclusion

1:54:42 So it couldn't have been pay to play because all these other agencies were on board, so nah that makes no sense. Yeah you need the State Department sign off. Okay! Government agencies basically it's complicated and like the movie is complicated Here we go It probably would have been best for everyone if it had never happened This is such a nasty trick Like you say okay this is really not good but It's kind of like the movie is complicated and then you laugh and then you've forgotten everything. But no one broke the law, and look we've spent several frustrating weeks trawling through all the innuendo and exaggeration surrounding her email and foundation scandals And the worst thing you can say is they both look bad but the harder you look the less you actually find There's not nothing there what is there is irritating rather than grossly nefarious Okay so now

CHAPTER 47 / 64 Discussion

Trump Finances and the Blind Trust Debate

John Oliver's comparison of Trump's finances to Clinton's is criticized for focusing on ridicule rather than substance. The hosts examine the debate over Trump's refusal to release tax returns during an audit and the complexities of placing his global business ties into a blind trust.

donald trump· ivanka trump· tax returns· blind trust· ethical challenges

1:55:31 When he says this, kids believe it. Here we go! I mean right off the bat ridicule and put down right away. Presumably, it's only that low because the rest of the time he was saying things like this. If Ivanka weren't my daughter perhaps I'd be dating her. Oh it's so weird! Yeah that's probably true and- Now remember the comparison is Trump to Clinton and it started with The Clinton Foundation He's gonna get to The Trump Foundation but wow Fact is probably true is what makes it so horrifying

1:56:36 And if you're thinking, okay Hillary may not lie as much as Trump but she needs to be more transparent that's fair enough. But bear in mind we know almost nothing about Trump's finances and that is no good! He is the first major party nominee since 1980 not to release his tax returns and it justification is pathetic I will absolutely give my return but I'm being audited now for two or three years so I can't do until the audit is finished But yes you can! The IRS has explicitly said, you don't need to wait for a completed audit to release them. You're just saying two completely unrelated things or I'd love to pick you up from the airport but i can't because of blue whales tongue weighs as much as an elephant What the f*** are you talking about? Those 2 things have nothing to do with each other

1:57:29 And notice we really haven't gotten any substance about Trump or what he's doing. It's still just ridicule And on top of Trump's personal tax records, there are unanswered questions about his business dealings. As many experts have pointed out, his investments, debts and business ties span the globe and could present unprecedented ethical challenges for a president. Now traditionally presidential candidates in that kind of situation promise to put their financial holdings into a blind trust where an independent trustee is given control over their investment but when Trump was asked if he would do that as well He seemed not to know what it meant.

CHAPTER 48 / 64 Discussion

Snarky Ridicule and the Awakening of Millennials

The hosts argue that the "snarky ridicule" of late-night hosts like Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert has backfired, leading to an "awakening" among some millennials. They call on their producers to help identify and counter these propaganda outlets to prevent further disinformation.

trevor noah· stephen colbert· propaganda· lisbon treaty· awakening

1:58:17 truth or fact, or I think a good fact or whatever people want to hear. High influence He is the influencer! I cannot find anyone who influences millennials more from my small survey granted who influences millennials more than this guy And the way it's done, by the way. It's you know his main writer is also a British guy who has got a good team, good large team of writers many even worked for Jon Stewart in the past and they're all Democrat Republican haters of the highest order all of them so I will make it my personal mission and I would say Jon Stewart was behind the whole thing Oh he's totally behind it that's probably why didn't want to be apart

1:59:05 Yeah. And it makes nothing but sense is he does show up on Colbert trying to save that show once in a while, but he's always just come on looking like some sort of a bomb. Exactly and there's your proof he's trying to save that show and this is part of the overall problem In my opinion It is exactly this snarky ridicule which Man, that word snarky's popped up a couple times this week. That snarky ridicule... I mean no wonder if night after... Trevor Noah not as many people watch anymore but night after night it is the same thing and is always saying the guy you stand behind is stupid dumb sexist xenophobe blah blah goes on and on. And its just snarky! So yeah when people get a chance what are they going to do? They're gonna make it happen

1:59:56 So John Oliver, fuck you. I got your number." Okay we'll keep what... We need a jingle! We need a jingle yeah. Adam goes after John Oliver somehow and some sort of jingle somebody can provide us that and then you can use it when you want to go into one of these rants yep And i'm just-I just gotta stay on this? I think you're dead right. I mean I remiss myself I'd say for not picking up on this because I've noticed it. Oh, did you see the John Oliver bit? Did you see the John Oliver bit?" I'm like fuck it! I don't want to watch that guy he's a douche We should have watched we should have watched Yeah this was this was a mistake well It didn't really make a difference in the election but as he'd hoped But it did make a difference in the riots and moving forward look no wonder people listen to our show

2:00:50 No wonder there's, you know, millennials who are switched on. They say holy crap this is something completely different than what I'm hearing! It's an awakening of epic proportions when it happens...I know because i went through it myself with the Lisbon Treaty when this whole program started just before that like wow the media saying something completely different than what the EU was supposed to be and lo and behold it's not exactly what was promised so television is unimportant then I'm sure there's other influencers like Oliver, or they will pop up and I need every producer who's listening to the show, producer of the show to help us find him. And we have to stop it because this is a very big problem." Yeah it's a propaganda outlet for a specific...very specific agenda. Yeah! And uh and it needs to be recognized and needs to be called out that way I'd say. Yeah if its recognized it's okay but it's not. That's the problem

European Parallels to Trump and Brexit

A professor in Brussels discusses the "frightening" parallels between Donald Trump's victory and the Brexit vote. The segment explores how populist parties in France, the Netherlands, and Germany may be galvanized by the American election results heading into 2017.

euronews· brexit· marine le pen· populist parties· 2017 elections

2:01:52 as you said. I, this is one of two things from the Euro lands which kind of would... Of course everything's real a lot of it about the election today This is...I always watch this It's the Euronews State of The Union or what its called in French but they have an English translator and on the show they brought in a professor from Brussels She's American I believe and so this was like, oh wow I got something without you know just English is being spoken. And she had some thoughts on Trump but specifically how this will relate to the EU in 2017 and obviously we have a relation to Brexit and

2:02:36 what is happening on the world stage with people who have a vote. Do you see any parallels there between Trump's victory and the Brexit results? I see incredible parallels, I mean that the level of anger that was present in the British public that led so many of them to vote against being in the union with with the continent and the level of anger that has been present when one listens to Trump rallies you hear this sound The sound is for many Europeans frightening, has echoes that go back rather far. The sound about how the media is treated I saw one of his speeches in Scranton the night before the election where the booing of the media was

2:03:19 louder than the booing for Hillary Clinton. Incredible, incredible anger and mistrust of everything that is the establishment. And there could be some more consequences to come in Europe as well because as you know there are huge elections in 2017 on this side of Atlantic. The French are choosing a new president, elections in the Netherlands and also a general election in Germany To what extent do you think so-called populist parties could now be galvanised by what they've seen in the United States this past 24 hours? I fear very much that they will be galvanized and i'm not exactly sure how to doctor a counter message that would be successful partially because of the state of the world today. I like that she says, I wouldn't know how to doctor a counter message is that what she does there in Brussels? Yeah, she doctors things. You know there's this... There's a very to me it's crazy irony about that clip which is and I did the whole thing is ironic that you have Marie

2:04:20 The Penn, Taredvillers, Beppe Grillo in Italy. The public is taking a cue from our elections but it's not taking a cue from Trump, really. It's taking a cue of the perceived Trump. The way that Trump is presented by the media as a racist and misogynist, xenophobe... all the things that the right tends to be a little bit more for different reasons and different perspectives in Europe the right being a little more aggressive in those regards, because Trump's not really a right winger per se by any means. But if you're going to portray him that way it's giving the go ahead because we are the world's leaders and for all practical purposes in the world as policemen I think there is very funny irony

Frans Timmermans on the Failed Social Contract

Frans Timmermans, a high-ranking European Council official, delivered a speech acknowledging that "trickle-down economics" has failed large segments of the population. Timmermans argued that the anger of the working class is justified and that the Western world needs to rewrite its social contract to include all groups.

frans timmermans· european union· trickle-down economics· social contract· netherlands

2:05:12 about the queue to Europe being a bullcrap queue to begin with. Because it's based on a lie, which is funny and then we'll see what happens. So this did not go unnoticed and I was surprised to see a speech from the guy that I always liked, but which is Frans Timmermans. He was the initially he was the undersecretary of state or foreign affairs for The Netherlands and had him on the radio show you know at this station they got burned to the ground. And this is the guy who goes to Bilderberg and his total New World Order guy and pulled me apart because the show we were doing was very critical

2:05:54 certainly of the EU. And he said, you know, you guys are doing a good thing. This is very good and I still to this day don't really understand why he was giving me such props and then later I saw him at the airport back when I had enough money to fly my own plane and the prime minister was there and all these muckety-mucks were taking the big government plane to go somewhere and he specifically pulled me in to meet the prime minister. The guy is very interesting, Frans Timmermans later the actual foreign minister of the Netherlands. And now he's like, the fixer in the European Council is a very high placed job and here's what he had to say if too many people in your society have the feeling that this society is not about them that this society does not deliver for them it doesn't reflect their aspirations or their hopes

2:06:44 they will become angry. And this is not an American phenomenon, it's a phenomenon we see in the whole Western world and it's about time we woke up to that phenomenon One of the things we need... We need to actually finally really understand Is that this whole concept of trickle-down economics didn't really work did it? For large parts of the populations And we need to fix that. That's what we need to fix and I'm not making party politics here because you know, when i look at our troubles and when i look where we are more often than not I am beyond party politics because it has become so big this problem that we can only solve it together

2:07:26 But this for me is the core of the problem. The social contract in our societies needs to be renovated, needs to be written again in a way that the signature of all groups in society can be below that social contract." I love what he's saying here! Well they're not happy so we should just use different words Keep rewriting it until everyone's happy with it. Don't change what you're doing, just keep rewriting the words! And that is what we missed out on in the Western world and whenever people were sharing those worries all too often we came with our statistics No, you are not poor look at this You think your poor? Your not If people have a feeling they are there if people have the feeling others in society benefit all the time and they never benefit This creates resentment

2:08:17 that is not, should not be disparaged or diminished. I think what I find painful, what infuriates me is when the people who are angry and dissatisfied are dismissed and I think thats been done too much People are angry and dissatisfied because they have reason to be angry and dissatisfied It's about time we got that memo What do you think of that? I think he's nailed it, but now. I don't know what his solution to that is of getting voted out night He just wanted a few guys who've actually said hey you know this is what's going on? You didn't say Racism or any of that that was To me like well Well as the elites It seems to me who pushed the racism meme above all because they know that this could be a problem for them Yes And so you have to find ways to

CNN's 24 Reasons for Hillary Clinton's Loss

The hosts review a CNN list of 24 reasons why Hillary Clinton lost, which includes factors like fake news on Facebook, low voter turnout, and the "coastal elite" shaming of Trump supporters. They mock the contradictory inclusion of both "not because of Comey" and "because of Comey" on the same list.

cnn· scott adams· facebook· bernie sanders· gary johnson

2:09:22 marginalize anybody bitching. Oh, you're just a racist which is the classic in fact even have Brooks there for on PBS saying it mm-hmm because he's an elitist he's worse with the New York Times for God sake yeah I really this operation that is I really loved Scott Adams pointed to this as the when they call it the cognitive dissonance cluster bomb And he said, look at the 24 reasons CNN gave as to why Hillary Clinton lost or why Donald Trump won I should say. This is a fantastic list! So we already know it was Kobe but seems like not everyone's gonna adhere to that so how about you want hear the list? Yeah alright here go number one He won because of Facebook and its inability or unwillingness to crack down on fake news

2:10:20 Wow. Yeah, number two because of social media generally. Okay? Because of low voter turnout because celebrity outlasts substance how about that one weak because of white women who are of course just as racist as their male counterparts because of white male resentment because well Russia Because the left and coastal elites shamed Trump supporters. I'll give him that one, that didn't help

2:11:02 Because rural Midwesterners don't get out of the house enough. That's my favorite right there Got to get out of the house more man, you guys gotta get out of that has to do some plowing You know what's going on? Because the Democratic Party establishment didn't push Bernie Sanders yeah There's a lot of people for sure Yeah interesting how you know well the Republican Party will never be the same it was true Of course he's gonna blow up implode and now it appears that what actually happened is the Democratic Party is imploding And everyone knows, or there's another meme out there. If only they had chosen Bernie he would have beat Trump easily! Next on the list... Because Reagan Democrats surged in Michigan and the Midwest. Hmm... Ah number 12 hey whatever you say do not blame the Millennials wasn't their fault

2:11:50 No, it was because number 13. Because of Gary Johnson and Jill Stein? Yes oh yeah I don't think there's any evidence that they... No not anybody but no sensible person is making that argument 14 because political correctness set off a nasty backlash Yeah i'd say that's partially to blame 15 because he simply listened to the American people whoa Number 16 because college educated Americans are out of touch with reality for sure. Because Americans are biased but not against any race, ethnicity or gender I'm not quite sure how that works because voters believe the system was corrupt you know? because he remembered forgotten men and women of America this is the meme i've seen this meme have you seen this one yeah but how are you interpreting it um...the way i've seen it interpreted is this happened with uh Ronald Reagan and before Reagan had happened with a....I want to say are they saying

2:12:50 I can't remember. Some other president, which must have been from the 32... Roosevelt? Roosevelt, yeah. It'd be Roosevelt You'll see the forgotten men and women of America as a meme Almost there Because Democrats focus more on turning out supporters than growing the base That's political stuff that I don't understand Because Democratic National Committee selected the less competitive candidate Well you certainly selected the poor one Number 22 Trump did not win because of racism Number 23, not because of Comey. And number 24 because of Comey! So I guess Hillary just looked at how many times the word Comey showed up and said yeah we'll use that one Well this is going to be...I noticed that i've been retweeting a lot of very well written articles by both sides of the aisle That are extremely well thought out It does boil down to I think the general

Media Bias and New York Times Headlines

"Morning Joe" hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough criticized the New York Times for its biased post-election headlines. They contrasted the Times' focus on "disappointed allies" with the Wall Street Journal's more objective "New Political Order" headline, arguing that journalists failed to understand the country.

morning joe· new york times· wall street journal· mika brzezinski· joe scarborough

2:13:54 idea that what Shields said, which is that this is we're not making any progress. Obama hasn't done anything for anyone from what I can tell even though he's so accomplished. I don't know what he's done. He came in with hope and change there was no hope there was no change We still have Gitmo. We still have people overseas. We have these never-ending wars. I think Chris Matthews had a good one. We got a rant recently did and it was good And it had Maddow just completely beside herself. I don't know how long she's going to continue without actually having to be sedated. Morning Joe actually had a good segment, which I didn't play earlier where they went through the headlines

2:14:40 the headlines that were available in New York and they of course, they're holding them up almost like a British morning show. They're holding up the newspapers with the headlines which I have always liked about British TV. Yeah, the French do it too. Yeah that's great And they're very, you know... When you look at these headlines pretty much none of them says oh my god this is the greatest upset in history. Look what has happened! No. Quite the opposite especially The New York Times insane their headline of Trump winning and I just want to play this You'll hear Mika and Joe They are like beside themselves I don't understand how can they stay on MSNBC? Why does MSNBC put up with them

2:15:22 I have no idea. Okay, you're there. Look at the headline of this story. This is the day after a surprising underdog sweeping victory and their headline is not disaffected Americans have a champion going to the White House or the country votes for fundamental change The headlines about how disappointed the friends who are the people who run The New York Times are about what's happened. I mean it's amazing. Democrats students and foreign allies of the New York Times. Face a reality and not picking on The Times, but it's a great example. Look at this! This is staggering. It really is more than I'm glad you brought this up. It shows that the editors of The New York Times who have...I do, I have the greatest respect for them they don't get it. This is actually about them. A Saturday night live skit. You went to a cocktail party the night before and you decided to write this

2:16:15 It's, you know when I thought Trump had a chance to lose which i did. But I thought he had a chance to win it. I said to liberals that he is going to get 42 million votes. 42 million people are gonna vote for him what are they voting for? And this is their headline. That's their newsroom. If a democratic candidate who was thought to have a 10% chance of winning by the New York Times, that ended up winning and winning red states as Trump won blue states. I don't think that would've been the headline. And I'll just say again the responsibility of journalists is not report on their biases. It's to go out and understand the country through the prism of the election, and say why are people feeling they way they're feeling? And I just stunned at how people are reacting. By the way... He is a liberal filmmaker. Let's talk about some people who did it right. The Boston Globe. There you go. Who did it right! It was a seismic shift such as size- Now listen we're all saying

2:17:12 that we thought Trump could have won, we're just as shocked as you that he won the way he did. So nobody's sitting here saying well, you know, we had a crystal ball but the thing is understand across divide The Washington Post writes all eyes on Trump Can I just say one more thing? And yeah, I just want to say The Wall Street Journal had I think probably the best headline A new political order Heheh Oh unprecedented really, the type of headlines and reporting we got. Really unprecedented! So this program I think this podcast is little mp3 that flies around the net it's pretty damn important moving forward no one has anything straight

Bill Moyer had something on his site that I did cite on Twitter, but I didn't read his material. No he wrote an open letter Oh an open letter yes, I wonder if I should put some music under this actually maybe we play a Harmonica yeah, can you play something a little sad though? Can you play some sad stuff Sad sadly it's sad hmm. I should probably do a little echo

2:27:54 Farewell, America. America died on November 8th 2016 not with a bang or a whimper but at its own hand by electoral suicide We the people chose a man who has shredded our values our morals our compassion Our tolerance, our decency. Our sense of common purpose! Our very identity! All the things that however tenuously made a nation out of a country." I'm gonna stop there... We should actually produce that. That was damn nice Mr. Dvorak you've got it down. I-I'm very impressed

2:28:49 Yeah, we'll work on it. We'll work on it. Sad songs... He said a lot more but I mean he's full of crap that guy It is, you know these guys are just knee jerk Democrats and then they're going on and on. I mean why don't they just do something about the mess they've made? They're losing all of their houses except California of course where it's so democratic that its ridiculous. They concentrate on places like this and every place else they refuse to get involved it looks like because they lost all these legislatures from all these different various states. Oh! I did want to do something very important

Honoring Trump's Female Campaign Leaders

The hosts take a moment to honor Kellyanne Conway, Katrina Pierson, and Kayleigh McEnany for their historic roles in the Trump campaign. They note that Conway is the first female campaign manager to win a presidency despite facing significant ridicule from the media.

kellyanne conway· katrina pierson· kayleigh mcenany· ann coulter· campaign manager

2:29:27 since no one else seems to do it or be even interested, I would like to honor three women. Three women who have done... Have been a part of something historic? I would like to honor Katrina Pearson, Kayleigh McEnany and Kellyanne Conway These women suffered a year and half of ridicule Oh yeah And Kellyanne Conway certainly the first female campaign manager to take a campaign to presidency Can we just have a moment for them? Good work, ladies. Yeah they did great work and she took a lot of abuse oh and she was pretty good at it She went on a lot of MSNBC stuff and they just ridiculed her

2:30:21 There's an old clip of Ann Coulter on the Bill Maher show from a few years ago when she was predicting Trump. Oh, she is ridiculed? She is just ridiculed and that new black woman that's on CNN Joy Reid... Joy was on! And she's laughing and pointing You don't happen to have that clip do you? No. Too bad I'll get it for next show. Okay, one more clip here that is worth playing. I'm sure everyone kind of saw it but after you have already seen and you listen to a couple times it becomes not much better this is the CNN interviewing a so-called millennial on the streets of Chicago

CNN "Millennial" Interview and Electoral College Confusion

A CNN interview with a "millennial" protester in Chicago is deconstructed, revealing the subject was actually a cameraman known to host Don Lemon. The protester's confused arguments about the Supreme Court overriding the Constitution and his experiences in Rwanda are mocked as scripted and ill-informed.

cnn· don lemon· chicago· rwanda· electoral college

2:31:06 about protests and it turns out that this is not I can blow it for you right away because everyone's seen this. It turns out, this guy is just a cameraman who works for CNN and yeah, and that was great but now when you listen to it again... Blasted! Yeah, and Don Lemon is a moron That's the funniest part But when you listened to it again now that you know what the forget about the payoff listen to this guy He is acting poorly. And you really just like many of the big TV shows, whenever we used to play a lot more of those John would bring in the bad acting clip from CSI and acting bad acting when you don't see the visuals, you hear that much better listen to this actor and then of course Don Lemon just because he's a narcissistic douche has to say oh I know him and he ruins the whole bit.

2:31:56 So you don't think this was a fair election because it looks like Donald Trump won fair and square. How did he win fair and square? Hillary had more votes, more human beings voted for Hillary! This isn't fair we didn't get one vote you didn't get a vote it's just like back in the day when your vote was 1 third of the electoral college here somebody who wants to blow that up You want to get rid of electoral college Just count the votes It's ridiculous Hilary you're a lawyer walk-in go to the Supreme Court I believe in you Hillary, i've been to Rwanda. I've been to your hospital in Rwanda! I've seen all the good that you have done. Women need you, minorities need you, I need you Chicago needs you we all need you this country needs you to stand up and walk into the Supreme Court and say one vote equals one vote what's wrong with that? What is this debate? You definitely feel his passion there are other people out here who feels the same way at one point you had people who were locked

2:32:47 What an idiot! Oh, I know that guy. You mean the guy who just said Hillary Clinton should go in and tell the Supreme Court that she won and ignore the Constitution? That guy?! One vote is one vote! Whoa...I mean this guy was handed a script that says whatever you do just say forget it- The guy doesn't even know what the Electoral College is about Doesn't know civics Just say popular vote Well here play the Larry O'Donnell clip

CHAPTER 59 / 64 Discussion

Lawrence O'Donnell and the "Political Card Trick"

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell characterized the Electoral College as a "political card trick" designed to override the will of the voters. The hosts discuss the shifting definitions of "populist" and "demagogue" used by the media to describe Donald Trump's victory.

lawrence o'donnell· msnbc· electoral college· demagogue· populist

2:33:41 All right. Hillary Clinton got more votes than Donald Trump, but Donald Trump will become the next president because of a political card trick on December 19th when the Electoral College meets to override the will of the voters of this country for the second time in 16 years and Trump voters should now be beginning to see that Donald Trump will become president because of tricks. Silly rabbit! Twixin' for kids! This is a trick. It's a trick Yeah, I'm sure you've seen the... Unbelievable to me that he'd... This is the day. So I know there's one thing going on some Silicon Valley douche, I haven't figured out who it is yet He has a plan this is a great plan his plan is to convince every single one of the states To enact some form of reform before December 19th which

2:34:41 will enable the electoral votes to change to Hillary Clinton without penalty. And he says, if we can get all 50 states to do it then we could win because... I know! Yeah? I know isn't that great?! So yeah this idea of tricks..I mean if anything I heard exactly the...we discussed on this very show for a point and I thought well Trump will probably win the general vote or the, you know, just the overall vote and more votes but he's probably going to win the electoral college. I think that was the general thinking even and it flip-flopped now it's no good.

2:35:26 He's a populist, so he would win the general vote. That's one of the epithets is a populist, these loser populists just appealing... There's a demagogue which they kind of dropped that a little bit because demagogue if you know the definition it means you appeal to the popular opinions. It's nothing more than that. So his appeals are the popular opinion supposedly or he doesn't. But if he's a demagogue, he does. And so he would naturally win the general election popular vote but he would lose the electoral college when that was just the opposite. Tricks I tell you tricks because of tricks

Black Pete Controversy and Dutch Tradition

The annual "Black Pete" controversy in the Netherlands has led to heavy police presence and trauma for children during traditional celebrations. The hosts criticize the United Nations and activists for labeling the cultural tradition as racist, noting that the festivities have been disrupted by SWAT teams and bomb squads.

black pete· netherlands· saint nicholas· united nations· racism

2:36:02 And abusive children not only taking place in the United States. Oh, nice! We didn't cover as much this year because it's just tiring and it's the same story over and over again The Dutch children have been severely abused with visuals and all kinds of frightening things As the Black Pete controversy now on its fourth or fifth year I don't want to go into it too deeply But it is a children's party. It is a children's day when Saint Nicholas comes from Spain on his steamboat and he is on his white horse, and he looks like a saint with the staff in his hat and everything... And he has black Pete's that have been this way for over 1000 years. The black Pete's come along and they do tricks and they are making fun of kids and they pretend to put them into

2:36:48 say in the sack if they've been bad and I'll take them back to Spain or they give him presents and put them in their shoes. And, you know mainly United Nations douchebags have come along and said well this is racism this is blackface it's completely different culture but no I'm not going to get into that but The Good Saint Nicholas arrived was it yesterday? Or two days ago in The Netherlands and it was disgusting Everywhere there were police helicopters, SWAT teams, explosive ordnance teams. Children and parents were frisked. Kids have been traumatized by this bullcrap

2:37:34 And then it's all adults who are yelling at each other. Meanwhile, the children have just been traumatized to no end. You go let's go see what mommy why they're all angry? Why is the bomb squad here? It's crazy. Wow. That's us! Go fight racism not kids parties okay? Idiots. Black Pete yeah Bad news. Black because he was like a chimney sweep or something? Yeah, well there's a number of different ways that it is explained and it's irrelevant now here's bad news bad news you know the military contacts oh I got do we talk about this after the show John what happened with with Mark's movie Mark Hall's documentary did we talk about that not any no should we mention this if you feel like it yeah

CHAPTER 61 / 64 Discussion

General Michael Flynn and the Fethullah Gulen Extradition

The hosts claim a potential connection between providing a film screener to General Michael Flynn and his subsequent op-ed calling for the extradition of Fethullah Gulen. The discussion shifts to the battle for Mosul, noting that former Saddam Hussein officials are reportedly leading ISIS forces and sabotaging infrastructure.

michael flynn· fethullah gulen· killing ed· mosul· saddam hussein

2:38:35 Yeah, I think it's kind of interesting. We got a request from one of our military contacts for an on... That part you did discuss? Yeah, for an online screener of Mark Hall's movie Killing Ed about Fethullah Gulen and the charter schools. And so I passed them out... About the charter school scam let's make sure we put that in a little word there. Charter school scam or big scam when it involves Gulen And so I contacted Mark, saying hey man can you put up a screener because General Michael Flynn wants to see it. It's like okay so he put it up in like the next day Flynn writes an op-ed in Newsweek about how he wants to extradite Gulen now I don't know if we're directly responsible but I feel pretty damn good about it tracking that guy for awhile

2:39:27 Dang, go no agenda. Go podcasting! I really think it's just a coincidence. Could be a coincidence but there you have it. But anyway none of that is news anymore for the military guys what's happening now is Mosul yes Mosul big big problem um you know the oil wells are burning again Yes okay that's out of the last show and this is not a coincidence this is what I found out Over 100 former high-ranking officials that worked for Saddam Hussein are now in charge of ISIS. And it's the same playbook! Oh, this I did not know... Yeah, well it is the playbook and I just heard about this morning So let me just get this straight since 2003 we're now full circle back with the same a-holes? No, 1990! The first, remember there was the first Gulf War

2:40:31 Right, right after the raid. When they're burning the wells... Yeah! So we've now come full circle 25 years later and the same people are doing the same thing. And trillions of dollars that could have been spent on roads in California that are filled with potholes. Definitely. Potholes not dead bodies I'm all for that. Unbelievable I mean this is a failure of epic proportions and Mosul airport has now been sabotaged. All runways are sabotaged, no more taking off, no more planes... military! Yep this is not going to end well. Well we got some good news in California. Pot being legal? Oh yeah the pot being legal's one of them but you know we always like to be with one of the most popular or THE most populous state and we like to be number 1

California leads the nation in opioid-related overdoses, with the DEA issuing a ban on a synthetic drug nicknamed "Pink" (U-47700). The drug, originally developed by Upjohn in the 1970s, has been linked to over 120 deaths and is reportedly being prescribed to children in some instances.

california· opioids· u-47700· dea· upjohn

2:41:25 So we got the clip is Cal is number one. Well tonight a killer novel opioid nicknamed pink is back in the headlines. The DEA has now issued its final order on the synthetic drug It spells out why pink, formerly known as U-47700 is such a public health threat and why it should be temporarily banned. One lab links pink to more than 120 deaths Whether it's pink or a prescription painkiller, California now leads the nation in opioid-related overdoses. And we learned that doctors are even prescribing opioids to children. Oh ho! Hey kids! Are you upset about Trump? Have some opioids. Is your child suffering from post election trauma disorder? Give the kid some heroin

2:42:22 Excellent. U4-7700, pinky or pink? Opioid analgesic drug developed by a team at Upjohn in the 70s. What do you know about this drug John? I knew it until I heard that report.

Yan Chichican on Soros-Funded Protests

RT reporter Yan Chichican details how George Soros-funded groups like MoveOn.org organized "spontaneous" anti-Trump protests within hours of the election. The report highlights the irony of Clinton supporters slamming the electoral system they had praised just days prior to the vote.

2:43:21 Well, I do have...I got Chichican on Soros if you wanted to play that jingle. We can put that off. You sure? I'm always happy to do a Chichican. Chichican. Yeah we can do it. She is probably the most knowledgeable, the hottest, the slickest on RT Russia today. That's right here she is with a report What do we have from her today John? Ah she's talking about how Soros is behind a lot of problems. Here we go. Yan has more on that

2:44:06 Outraged by Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election, tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets across the US to protest. Many demonstrators are refusing to accept Trump's victory It looks like advocacy groups played a hand in organizing this seemingly spontaneous protests Among them an organization called MoveOn, which is funded by George Soros, a Hillary Clinton supporter and billionaire. The day after Trump was elected the group sent out a press release saying... Within two hours of the call to action Move On members had created more than 200 gatherings nationwide with the number continuing to grow on Wednesday afternoon

2:44:51 The presidential campaign showed there is no love lost between Donald Trump and George Soros, who was one of Hillary Clinton's top donors. You are in a position where you're being attacked by MoveOn and these other very well organized radical left groups. You know it your security knows it Secret Service knows that that's going to continue Do you have a plan on how you're gonna handle that? Well, it is going to continue because the last person they want to face—the Democrats want to face—is me. And the last person Hillary Clinton wants to face is me." That was during the election campaign but apparently Trump's victory in the election didn't stop the Soros organization from campaigning against him. Those who are stirring up and many of them work for George Soros' front organizations

2:45:45 are really telling those innocent protesters and perhaps less innocent protesters that they're in danger, that they're endangered by Trump. Even though Trump has done nothing but preach unity since he actually won the elections. In essence what the opponents of Trump now are doing is exactly what they accused him of planning to do if he lost which is disputing the results of an entirely fair election It's an election where they've had all the media power and more money And yet they have lost to him and to the voice of those ordinary people in American shires were normally ignored and forgotten. George Soros is known for stirring up anti-government protests in other countries, and it looks like the upcoming Trump administration might see a few. The Soros organization went beyond protesting. MoveOn released a petition calling to change the U.S. Constitution and get rid of the Electoral College which gave Trump his victory. There are now some apparently well funded attempts to undermine Trump's victory in the election

2:46:41 The irony is that many Clinton backers who are now slamming America's electoral system were praising it and scolding anyone who criticized it just days before the vote. In Washington, I'm going to show you... Whoa! You got butt-slammed! Yo. All right. We'll give you a report. Yeah well we keep our eye on Soros for his next move be on the lookout for purple? Be on the lookout for purple I'd say. Purple is this is the key And oh, I do want to thank Sir Gene who dropped by last night like at 10 o'clock and he dropped off two autographed copies of the book Pendulum. Are you familiar with this book? No! It's by Roy H Williams and Michael R Drew How past generations shape our present and predict our future. Hmm... and it was signed by the author so that's nice. That is great. I'll bring mine out when i see in 2018
