Dutch Trump

00:00 God, I failed the ceremony. Even rubber boats back in Plato's day. Phenomenal! We should just call him Nostradamus

00:43 It was a Dow. A Dow? Yeah, that's the kind of boat in the Mediterranean. Oh you've updated the classic writings of Plato to adapt it... Yeah that's what I did! I updated it from dow to dinghy. Well happy 888! And happy 888 to you and happy 888 to all the listeners and producers, and friends of the show. And everyone hangers on and everybody Knights and Dames and Barons and Dukes and Grand Dukes. Everybody who's participated who has contributed thank you so much it's been very busy for us this numerology stuff is fantastic lots of people wanted to jump in I want to support this particular episode

01:25 And you see that people are trying to get into the last minute. It's a lot of work we were doing, wait a minute... Yeah and I had people coming in after their deadline was closed and everything was shuttered and there's going to be a few people bumped in next Thursday including one of our Aussie friends Let's have this note here. Let's not get into reading notes just yet, we'll fix it all, we'll fix it all Oh I was on the Seedman show last night Again? Well this was on the Nightly News You're a regular now! I'm the go-to guy in Austin That's what we were hoping for I swear to you like HEY CAN YOU COME OVER HERE IN TWO HOURS?! No...no..it's my prep day but I can do it on Skype

02:17 Like yeah, cool. We'll take sky well how far is the studio from your place? Well it's dumb It's I can't tell you where it isn't in the airport but Traffic at you know four o'clock and Austin yeah, I'm gonna drive oh, it's just a no Yeah You think well thank you California. Yeah, it's all the Californians who are bringing it here Yes because we prefer jammed freeways mm-hmm very good at it anyway The reason that was on was because of the MTV video Which I'm sure, uh...I think everybody has probably seen this by now. Although they did take it down because of the negativity As in everyone thought it was unbelievably ridiculous John are you drawing blanks? I don't think so You've seen this haven't you? No

03:03 Okay, well I mean. I don't know because I'm sure yeah someone known yes MTV came out with a special message for 2017 but not just any special message a Special special message. I can't say special special message For white guys hey fellow white guys It's about to be in New Year and there's a few things we think you could do a little bit better in 2017 First off, try to recognize that America was never great for anyone who wasn't a white guy. Can we all just agree that Black Lives Matter isn't the opposite of All Lives Matter? Black lives just matter there's no need to overcomplicate it Also Blue Lives Matter isn't a thing Cops weren't born with blue skin right I mean

03:47 Yeah, they want born blue stop bragging about being woke. Stop saying woke learn what mansplaining is and then stop doing it Oh And if you're a judge don't prioritize the well-being of an Ivy League athlete over the woman he assaulted We all love Beyonce and yes she's black so of course she cares about black issues I'm talking to you Fox News feel free to take Kanye West though You guys can have him you know what you did Connie Nobody who has black friends says that they have black friends. And just because you have black friends doesn't mean you're not racist! You can be racist with black friends? Look guys, we know nobody's perfect But honestly could do a little better in 2017 some of you guys do a great job Some of you don't please cuz 2016 is bad 2017 can't be worse than this alright cuz this is bad

04:37 intellectually of course I'm insulted but i'm not angry. I'm just condescending and smug and it's pretentious as hell here this is so pretentious here's my problem here's my problem, and we'd like to talk about some the specific messages in there as well In our lifetimes you when I both We have seen musicians and comedians, and some journalists but very few fight for free speech. Fight to be able to say things in public People have gone to jail for this MTV definitely... Think of the PRMNC, PMRC, Tipper Gore fighting against this bull crap about lyrics

05:25 And here we are, full circle. The same MTV brings you this. It's pathetic. I also find it offensive that These guys are so lockstep Democrat and like you said against free speech that they can't let Kanye West say anything. Because, you know what? You did Kanye. Yeah he had a meeting with Donald Trump then... So now all of the sudden having a meeting with the United States president is you know what you did? Like it's some sort of a crime I know what you did last summer Yes! And it's gotten so bad with that particular instance, you know. That I think the Trump team has done something... Well the only thing they could do is say, we don't need any celebrity singing and you know we're just gonna do a nice little American some music some dancing because not a single artist has the balls to say yeah sing at your inauguration because they know they will have no career of which there is almost no career anyway in the music business anymore

06:26 It's because of this, because of the shaming. Yeah, shaming is what this is and it's a little bit more... It's also anti-male! It's about men. Yeah, it's about white man specifically. What about women? There are no women that fall into the category being skeptical about lot of these stuff? No John, the whole idea is... White Men! ...is the patriarchy The patriarchy and we are the patriarchy And I have couple examples Actually this whole thing was fueled by the electoral college. Now, since we last spoke of course the Electoral College voted no one defected for Hillary. We had a... No no they defected for Hillary from from Hillary not four yes they defected from Hillary yeah from Hillary just was it three or four? I think it was 4 and there's two against Trump

07:16 They should all be law. So that didn't work out, but the electoral college is now where this is moving well now this is moving towards the racism of the electoral college system. The whole United States is based on racism you have to understand this and Bill O'Reilly I was like, wow. What are all these new stories about Bill O'Reilly? And what did he do? And it was like this is crazy! He went on... He's a razor! Craig went nuts with... I'm gonna have to see this and uh iIm worried about myself now. Why are you worried about yourself because when I hear this I think yeah there's there's a lot to what he's saying which according to them according to the response would make me a super racist

08:02 Okay, here we go. As we reported even though Secretary Clinton won the popular vote by 2.8 million The progressive state of California provided all that margin Clinton defeating Trump thereby about 4.3 million votes So if the Electoral College were abolished Presidential candidates could simply campaign in the nation's largest states and cities New York LA Chicago Houston And rack up enough votes to pretty much win any election That's what the left wants. That is what they want because in large urban areas and blue states like New York and California, minorities are substantial Look at the landscape Philadelphia Dallas-Fort Worth Miami In all of these places the minority vote usually goes heavily to the Democrats Add that New York City LA and Chicago San Francisco don't really have a national election anymore do you? You have targeted populations

08:54 Newspapers like the New York Times and the LA Times have editorialized to get rid of the Electoral College. They well know that neutralizing the largely white rural areas in the Midwest and South will assure liberal politicians get power and keep it Talking Boys believes this is all about race. The left sees white privilege in America as an oppressive force that must be done away with, therefore white working class voters must be marginalized and what better way to do than center the voting power in the cities? Very few commentators will tell you that the heart of liberalism in America today is based on race

09:33 It permeates almost every issue. That white men have set up a system of oppression! That system must be destroyed, Bernie Sanders peddled that to some extent Hillary Clinton did and the liberal media tries to sell that all day long So-called white privilege bad diversity good If you look at the voting patterns it's clear that the Democrats are heavily reliant on minority vote also on the woman vote White men have largely abandoned the Democrats. And the left believes this is because of racism, that they want to punish minorities keep them down So that's what really going on when you hear about the electoral college and how unfair it allegedly is Summing up, Left wants power taken away from the white establishment They want a profound change in the way America is run Taking voting power away from the white precincts Is the quickest way to do that

10:31 So, a lot of heads exploded over this. And I think it comes pretty close to things we've talked about. We haven't specifically talked about the Electoral College being race-based but what I'm seeing happen is this accusation which is hey Democrats you want to use this in a racial way to win? And that's what I heard at least. And i think there is some truth to that. I think there are some truths in that but, it's not a real goal here and if you really look at objectively the Democrats are pretty racist Let's listen to CNN rundown on Trump Before we do that can I just play a response to O'Reilly thing? Also from CNN because my favorite people on

11:22 It has a Kaylee McEnany arguing with yes, Angela Rye. Did you see Angela Rye? She was at the there was a video of her at TSA. No don't know her. Yeah, you do. She's she's the girl who used to work for the Black Caucus. She was a gopher Yeah, well when you hear her you'll reckon we play I play her all the time because she's fabulous and she's all in on the Patriarchy being you know completely racist and America is built on racism And it's unfair Shoot what was I gonna say about her? I don't remember now damn. It okay well You'll hear it

12:01 you'll understand what's going on. to address the fact that systemic oppression and racism is real in this country. Bill O'Reilly had it white, right? There is- I almost said white he had it that way too! Oh did you hear that? He had a- oh god... Yeah I know she's racist But there is a problem with the white establishment That white establishment is called White Supremacy That White Supremacy is called Racism That Racism is called Systemic Oppression And It Is Time For Us To Call It What It Is No one is- That is rooted

12:48 is rooted in that system and we cannot separate three-fifths human the fact that my ancestors were counted as three fifths as a part of that electoral college structure. Angela, no one is condoning white supremacy! That's a horrific ideology there's no place for it in this country except for Bill O'Reilly. It's a very small portion of society that sadly exists that's there. What's up? Did you hear that? Which is there's no reason for white supremacy, we can't condone it except for Bill O'Reilly. Did you hear that? Yeah of course I heard it and there's something coming up about that hoaxster guy uh you know the guy who does this all the time on YouTube he tries to get kicked off of airplanes for being an A-Rab

13:30 Oh yeah. And he did it again on a Delta flight and you know, of course that has now been debunked as complete hoax but she hasn't gotten the memo yet Ms CNN. It's a very small portion of society that sadly exists that is there but is being given a megaphone because people on the left are trying to tie The Trump administration in every way, shape and form to something that doesn't exist. And these white supremacists are being given a megaphone not by Donald Trump but by the left who continually elevates them to be something more significant than they are. Kayleigh you can't put that at the feet of Democrats You have to put it at your candidate's feet There are people who are getting booed off airplanes flicked off

14:11 Which was a hoax we found out. That's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, that's false, So she's very wound up, very tightly wound. Why is she even working for that network? Because it's fun to watch when people get into arguments there's no other reason to do it than that I don't find it that much fun anymore not with somebody who just screaming at me Well yeah okay Of course they're not programming geniuses over there on CNN Now Angela Rye if she so tightly wound There was a video of her at TSA and she was getting a secondary screening

15:09 And, you know she has a dress on and she's very annoyed that this white woman... She didn't say that but you could see was wanding her and patting her down. And she gets so frustrated that she starts crying because of course I'm sure she was being singled out for being black now this woman is a she has problems One other thing about the patriarchy and the war on men, especially white men are dumb and shut up. In the same vein that we were talking about kind of the switch Republicans being their racist A-holes which came with Norman Lear's Archie Bunker, was it 30 years? 35 years I think that was on the air? Yeah some time ago And it really established Republicans, Archie Bunker

16:01 The stupid, shut up successful white man? I think we're looking at Ross from Friends. Oh God! Now he was a smart white guy and through all seasons of Friends whenever he said something everyone would go oh shut up Ross! We don't have stupid Ross! That's stupid! I think that helped Well, all the television shows help promote this stuff. But I realize...I think we're looking at a distraction at least for the moment because I think something else is underway and though I've said this before and I'm going to repeat it but first I want to play these clips. This is CNN rundown and I stop it at certain moments

16:52 It's kind of important to stop it. This is the CNN rundown on the Trump election part called throughout the country But not enough to change what we all knew was going to be outcome today Donald Trump has prevailed as you said Brianna in The official counting of electoral votes and states across the country today making him the 45th president of the United States but just As we saw during the election even this formality came with plenty of drama no drama Electors may be carrying out their official function and selecting a president on behalf of the voters they represent today, but they won't be able to heal the political wounds still raw. And on display at state houses across the nation one of those electors in New York former President Bill Clinton cast his vote for Hillary Clinton smiling but candid about the forces he saw conspiring against his wife I watched her battle through that

17:45 I had this clip too. Bogus email deal, that bogus email deal, that bogus email deal and she prevailed against it all but then we had the Russians and the FBI deal which you couldn't prevail against that. The FBI deal? How come the bogus email deal is separate from the Russians I think the same thing well. He's doing a chronological Doing timeline, and you know I will say that it has come to my attention that many all in Hillary supporters have Not actually seen Any emails but they totally believe there's just personal stuff about yoga what yes?

18:40 I was surprised too, but that has got... it was positioned so strongly. Like eh, it's just personal stuff and forget about stupid Republicans on a witch hunt you know the vast right-wing conspiracy. So they don't even read them like oh no it's just personal stuff I don't need to go rooting around in that Yeah, then we had the Russians and the FBI deal. She couldn't prevail against that but she did everything else and still won by 2.8 million votes. Push! I like it...and still did he say one by two point eight million votes? Yeah Bill Clinton who won with forty per seven percent of the vote Couldn't prevail against that but she did everything else And still won about 2.8 million votes

19:26 Pushing back on those hard feelings, Donald Trump railed against the idea advocated by some Democrats that electors revolt and throw the election to the House of Representatives. Tweeting if my many supporters acted and threatened people like those who lost the election are doing they would be scorned and called terrible names. Trump now defends the Electoral College a system he once slammed as unfair I never appreciated it until now how genius it was what they had in mind President Obama told National Public Radio Democrats have bigger problems than an election system he's described as antiquated. If we're not showing up, if we're not in there making an argument then uh... then were gonna lose and we can lose badly and that's what happened in this election. Now here is what I want you to look back on What was the lead into Obamas poll quote?

20:20 An election system that he found antiquated, referring to the Electoral College. Referring to the Constitution? Well, referring specifically to the Electoral College which is in the Constitution. Yes What in Obama's clip that they played back up with commentary said that at all even came close I didn't hear him say that at all So they start with the lead in that, oh Obama found everything. He founds the system antiquated and then they play a clip which you would expect to be the clip of him saying boy this is antiquated or something back up what the guy just said but there's nothing in there like that

21:02 So this is a piece of propaganda. This is the old trick where you say, oh and then he said it was the worst thing he's ever experienced and they were to clip The guy says yeah, you know And we're gonna go to Denver tomorrow Like nothing to do with it Propaganda indeed good catch so why do you make this assertion? And what does the assertive so why you mean? Well if you look at the events that have been taking place we first said, we don't honor the flag. That turned into we don't honor the national anthem and now the push is for the constitution. It's a very annoying document for the new world order. I take all this and say no. This is about...this is all distraction looks great

21:49 but it's all about the electoral college. And if you start listening carefully, you'll find papers like the LA Times calling for it being changed and you find other operations calling for a change to get rid of it. Let's go to popular vote." And I throw back to this thing I wrote like a long time ago...I bring it up all the time The media doesn't like the electoral college. For the advertising, of course it does not distribute that advertising money fairly across the country. All right I'm going to give you a point for that yes of course i should have known that and I am glad we're both on this show yeah together is the reason we're both together we have 80% brain as good

22:33 Yeah, it's better than most people. All right so let's go...anyway so that is what I think is going on with this electoral college thing and even that MTV thing but many people are just suckered into me parroting what everyone says about it but I think the goal by the major media is to possibly get a look at maybe changing it because here you go Hillary won by 2.8 million votes And by the way, I got a note from someone. I won't mention him who sends me this Snopes thing it says... Oh about the hookers?

23:09 No. What was that? Oh my God, I'll tell you in a minute go ahead okay let me finish this so he sends me a Snopes thing to say now you've been saying California is the reason for the entire electoral college you know the reason that Hillary won two point eight million votes is because California gave her like .9 million more votes than they gave Trump and so it's all California. You take California out of the equation, and Trump wins the popular vote too. That's what I've been saying you've heard it. I said that you agree with me? Of course! He says looks like your wrong Dvorak and then he sends me a link to Snopes. And so Snopes says is California responsible for their total elect... you know the popular vote that got Hillary elected? False

23:59 And it's 4.3 million votes that Hillary got over Trump is blah, blah, blah not attributed to California because it doesn't add up and I'm looking at the number four point three what did they come up with this? Snopes is full of shit And you can make the note for the bleep. So here's the thing, oh yeah go ahead. Anyway so I looked at it and sent him back the actual numbers that have been calculated on one of the independent sites and it is about 2.7-2.8 million and its all, you can attribute all if you want to California. So Snopes is actually twisting the truth! To make a point that what is wrong with these guys? Are they just bunch of stooges?!

24:43 Let me share with you allow me to share with you a story about a lawsuit Between the guy who started Snopes along with his wife now ex-wife Here's this is from here we go. This was in I guess legal documents came out and She is she wants obviously she wants money, but she saying and you know he divorced her And then he hooked up with the porn star who I don't know if he's married to her, but I guess they're living together. But he had according to her, he had embezzled $98000 of company money and spent it on hookers. That's a lot of hookers by the way 98000 and 98 that you have to check this out just do the addition on how many hookers there must be just one or two hookers that were gouging in. That's all like that.

25:44 He wanted to, he felt that he was underpaid by industry standard and he- You can waste $98000 on hookers. You're not underpaid by any standards Wait for it! He wanted to up his salary from two hundred and forty thousand dollars a year to three hundred sixty thousand dollars a year Now I ask you where is that money coming from? Because if you go to Snopes dot com And you go to their FAQ Okay, and you'll see here. Where does your money come from? Here it is looking at it right now Wait here urban legends No You use your word sanitize version for kids where is it basically

26:37 Are you funded by George Soros? Who pays to maintain the site? Snopes.com isn't always has been a completely independent entity who is wholly owned by its operators and receives no funding in any form! We have no financiers, sponsors investors partners or donors nor do we have any affiliation or relationship financial otherwise with any political party religious group business organization government agency or any outside group of persons We pay all the costs of producing and operating this website ourselves and derive our income solely from the advertising revenue it provides, which is Google AdSense. So you're telling me that they're doing that kind of money from Google Adsense? That's a lot of money! It seems unlikely... It seems highly unlikely- And if you just look at the page where are the ads?! Oh wait let me turn off my ad blocker that'll help

27:28 I did check it. It's like, you know where are the ads? Has there even seen an ad on Snopes? There is a C1C1 on. Oh yeah OK see MBAs it just like some banner ads which is garbage inventory garbage but of course they are number three on the list of The International Fact Check Network along with ABC News and AP so congratulations hookers and blow for fact check network fact check false Yeah, definitely fact check false. So anyway so I sent the guy back his note with here's the real numbers where Snopes get 4.3 and it was just obviously a political... It was slanted! And that they did years ago with Al Gore comment where you know he says he invented the internet yeah and so they said no he never said that he and then they parsed it

28:23 You can look it up yourself. But they parsed it and no, he still said it, he just didn't use a certain word like I invented the internet or when we invented the internet, I can remember but its in there and its wrong. The quote is available you go on to YouTube get it any time you want Do you want to play part two of this CNN rundown? Yes, I would love to. Trump's top advisors are still tearing into the notion that Russian hackers tipped the balance in the election The entire nonsense about the electors trying to use the Russian hacking issue to change the election results is really unfortunate and I think that actually undermines our democracy more than any other conversation we're having

29:07 There's no evidence that shows that the outcome of the election was changed because of a couple dozen John Podesta emails that were out there. But even fellow Republican Senator John McCain said Moscow's interference is a troubling sign at The Times This is another sign of possible unraveling of the world order that was established after World War II which has made one of most peaceful periods in history of the world What what happened to Cold War one the most peaceful period we've had the Korean war Vietnam or we had Afghanistan the Russians in Afghanistan you can go McCain didn't actually fight so he thought it was peacetime

29:56 I know, that was bad. I do think by the way...I do believe! McCain is always showing up in these types of clips you know so we have not had peace from 1945 to today and we're in wars all over the place still and there's other skirmishes going on that don't involve us My daughter has been at war country since birth And so here we go. So McCain's full of crap as usual because he's promoting the idea I just had to conclude this and i feel bad about it when McCope, McCain was a prisoner in the North Korean Prisoner-of-war camp He developed such a deep rooted hatred for the Russians because this was yeah The North Korean South Korea war was a Russian proxy war and he knew it all the officers knew Hold on! I don't think most people know this This is worth

30:51 Taking a quick little side journey to explain how that was a proxy. I don't think many people know this John well it was You can look it up or you can study it, but it was the Russian proxy war the Russians were using the North Korea There were given them in the arms they needed and all the rest of it right so they could get It was a proxy war between us and Russia and a lot of boys died And a lot of people died and McCain in the prison of work where I'm sure he was tortured and you know, it wasn't good for him. Yeah. And still can lift his arms. I believe that's true. Uh, I think he took ease. He's had this grudge against the Russians that he would just as soon see out all out nuclear war

31:39 with both countries going down in flames just to get back at the Russians for what he perceives as what they did to him in that prisoner of war camp. He may have an ideological reasoning behind it, but ultimately it's about a lot of money. There is a lot of money but you can make money a lot of different ways Yeah. And he can make money a lot of different ways other than just helping feed the military industrial complex. He doesn't need any more money, he's got seven houses! We could make a lot of money doing fact checking and have hookers I mean we are in the wrong business all right clip three yeah

32:24 Okay, Trump tried to turn the subject to China over the weekend after the Chinese Navy intercepted an underwater US drone tweeting Let them keep it. I don't know if you'd want that drone back I mean who knows but it's not Trump's relationship with China that's got the attention of Saturday Night Live Vladimir, this is such a great surprise. What are you doing here? I was just in town hiding in the walls. It's so great to finally get a chance to talk in person. I could post an email to you but I haven't even sent it yet. And sticking to his pattern of placing the super-rich in several top positions at his administration, President-elect tapped pro hockey team owner and military veteran Vincent Viola for Secretary of the Army. But Viola is already picking up bipartisan support including from the incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Brianna this pick is not turning out to be very controversial at all. No it's not alright Jim Acosta thank you so much. Exactly why talk about it? Alright now

33:28 So I think that this, so Trump got in there wasn't any of the...I had people that were gonna bet me on this one too. Oh the Electoral College would not vote him in? Yeah but it was going to be Were these your journalist friends again? Yeah, they were going to give me... I was going to give a huge odds. And do you ever say to them? I did this time. I said, I'm not stealing any more of your money and nothing else. No no no! Did you ever say that you might want to consider trying to be objective as a journalist or is that just falling on deaf ears? Oh no, that's not even worth mentioning. Everybody in the community knows what's going on. I mean, I remember I told a story before on the show where I was up in Minnesota giving or it was in Michigan, upper part of Michigan and talking to a bunch of small newspaper organizations

34:22 They had a bunch of papers, like 30 or 40 of these little papers. And I gave a speech that was just falling on deaf ears about everything, whether it's about the business, about the slant and all the rest. And I actually asked the audience how many people here are Democrats? You can be honest. And 99% of the people raised their hands And I said, how many Republicans? Nobody raised their hand. Guy comes up afterwards and he says, I'm a Republican. I wasn't going to raise my hand under any circumstances and you can see why. Yes, you never work in this town again. Yeah so... So that's that. I wanted to... Now there was a net, well go on. I was going to play two clips that fold into this one. One I have a longer version just because it is so funny to listen too of Wisconsin when the electoral college when the electoral voters, the electors unanimously decided for Trump

35:15 I mean, all the aud- it was so weird. I've never heard adults do that. Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! What when did this saying shame for the people obeying the laws they're saying voting but their candidate yeah, and if you listen to this This person is very Very angry. She said you don't you don't deserve to be in America and you don't belong in America This is my America And meanwhile the chorus that the crowd is chanting shame Wait wait it's shouting shame at the woman or shame at two people voting at the people voting Okay.

36:26 You know what it reminds me of? Holy crap, it sounds like a scene from Animal House. No, that was more like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Oh yeah! Oh yeah, even better I agree. Shame, shame, and all of sudden like... Yeah awesome And they eat you Great Well shame or not Wow, I'm gonna give you a borderline clip of the day, guys never heard that clip Thank you It was in your clip A Little Piece Actually MSNBC aired it which was the funniest thing they aired it live Breaking news. Yeah now I have a clip from Wisconsin People yelling shame, shame Shame that should be a ringtone shame Shame is it for Game of Thrones? Oh this I'm reading in the chat room ever so helpful Is that's from Game of Thrones they do that

37:19 I don't know, i don't watch Game of Thrones. I'm like one of the two people that don't watch anything. Well yeah well I'm the other person! Yeah...yeah..I'm the other person. Um okay but we'll find out uh Max Keiser oh wait a minute so let me get this straight So these people are so vapid that they're taking punch lines and I guess kind of commentary lines or whatever kind of lines were going to say they are from a tv show? That's on cable apparently The Circe walk scene, if I'm pronouncing that correctly. And they're all yelling shame, shame, shame. Yeah and that's what they're doing so there... That is how shallow and banal they are! Unbelievable! Wow, wow, I didn't know that. Someone has to make a mash-up of mix of that. That's terrible. It's pathetic Max Keiser had Paul Craig Roberts on his show

38:19 Paul Craig Roberts. I'm sorry, I missed a little bit of that one too. Max Keiser had Paul Craig Roberts on his show who was former... Oh yeah! Paul Craig Roberts is like really interesting guy to read Yes and he considers himself alternative media He was assistant secretary of state? or commerce, or something. Yeah. Or treasury. Treasury guy. And that was during the Reagan era and so he witnessed a lot of stuff during the Reagan era. He's been around there is a lot of smart things to say. Of course, he is considered by the mainstream as super-duper crackpot because I think he speaks the truth but he was talking about Trump, the military industrial complex in how they were probably not happy with him

39:09 And then CIA, and I've shortened this up into two minutes to give you a little taste of what he's thinking. Many progressives backed the coup in Egypt to oust the Muslim Brotherhood and now they back the electoral college coup to oust Trump so is democracy officially nearing an end? I don't think it exists anywhere in the West You know if... What would happen for example if Marine Le Pen were to win the French election There's a good chance she'd be assassinated. What? Yeah, well the CIA gonna let somebody hostile come President-elect? Let me ask you this, because Trump is saying that the CIA is full of bunk. He's saying that the NSA intelligence is worthless. You know he's saying don't listen to these guys and well he's gonna be president United States so what happened are they risking their entire careers to try to oust him now and does that indicate that they're serious about this? They're very serious either they are confident they got a pull off a coup or else they're setting him up for an assassination

40:10 Because now you're a former assistant secretary to the under the Reagan administration, and you don't throw around these terms lightly I mean that's a pretty serious. No as well As I do this CIA is assassinating people all the damn time. I mean look at all the governments we've overthrown It's just common knowledge. Just go read the book, The Brothers about John Foster and Allen Dulles and you'll see this is where they were operating a half-a century ago! They're a lot worse now so I think yes because what they are doing they have created in the minds of some Americans that Russia is a dangerous enemy

40:52 And now they're associating Trump with a dangerous enemy. So this makes a certain part of the population, particularly really patriotic not too knowledgeable part of the population say oh well he's working for Russia and so it's entirely possible that they are setting him up now if they assassinate him I can pull up some right-wing stooge who was upset about the Russian agent president So just like they pull up Oswald for Kennedy, just like they pulled up that guy from Martin Luther King. They always have somebody they can say did it so I think its a serious situation the only explanation Max for this is either they are going to have the electors vote him down or their going to assassinate him. That's pretty binary

41:47 Wow. Ed, this of course explains why Trump has a lot of his own security people who are all... they're all special forces but man I mean you know when you think about... He's surrounded by generals But but you know we have to be careful for now there's obviously one person and we have to be very very careful in this Alex Baldwin Melania Oh, yeah. Considering Jackie shot JFK? You know... Yeah if you look at those videos again with Jack and JFK it's the worst. Right. This makes me think about the broadcast networks and the news media that's in pretty much up to their

42:34 neck in CIA connections. And that would be the Washington Post and New York Times, and NBC, and CBS. CBS seems to be more of a cooperation thing but NBC seems to be run by the place And NBC keeps doing this last Saturday Night Live bit with Alex Baldwin and Putin, a Putin character in the skit as if they're good buddies or they're gonna be. This is I think helping to massage the public to thinking that, well maybe he's a little too cozy with Russia. Because when I hear this stuff, I'm thinking of the major media which is NBC, New York Times, Washington Post which are all considered kind of knee deep in CIA intrigue and then I think about that piece

43:23 Clip from Saturday Night Live which is an NBC program where they show Trump and they're doing this every week Trump, and you know pretty much I'm betcha There's gonna be one of these soon this last one had Putin a Putin character And it was shirtless yeah, and I'll bet she was gonna. Be a bit coming up where they're gonna be in literally in bed together Red book I think you're right yeah red book they could be in bed together your right With Angela Merkel somehow they can just put angela in there just as a joke Or she could be sitting in the corner of the chair. So I think they're massaging the public to get us used to the fact that, you know this is not a it's not healthy to be this friendly with Russia even though it would be financially a good thing and it would be better for world peace but nobody and the Democrats in particular don't care about world when I was a kid oh here we go everybody hello When I was a kid right through college The whole thing was about world peace

44:23 Yeah, we had... I mean Carter with SALT. We had what was the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty or something? We got SALT II and then yeah everyone was trying to make peace with Russia and here we are we seem to be trying to get to war with them before January 20th at least that's what it appears to be. It appears to be though it's not healthy at all none of this is healthy So there's a couple, go ahead. Well I was gonna say i do have kind of a connecting clip which is this again NBC...I didn't see this anyplace else you know about the red phone incident? Yeah you've heard about it let's uh well This is what happened uh I guess a couple of days before the election and it seems like a bogus story to me and it was kind of critical of everybody but it was as if the Russians are really

45:18 toying with us and we have to do something about it. This is Red Phone Clip 1. By the afternoon of October 31st, Halloween when ghosts and goblins were welcome to the White House another kind of drama had already played itself out. Two senior intelligence officials both non-partisan career officers tell NBC News that morning began with a highly classified and unusual event at 830. What was that? It just ended

46:12 John hi it said a highly classified in the beginning. I don't know maybe it continues on clip two okay with a highly classified and unusual event oh wait wait wait was a highly classified Oh, yeah Okay that reason I stopped at there at that clip because usually when I do this is thick because there's a question In this case there was to it began with a highly classified and unusual event as what she said To end that first morning. Yeah How did they get the information if it's highly classified? Obama has been throwing everybody in jail, left and right. Whistleblowers and everybody in between if you talk to all these guys who booted from these various agencies they bitch and moan about it but they can't even look at a reporter let alone talk to one how did they get this information that's highly classified? Same way they got the highly classified consensus on 17 intelligence agencies that Russia did something

47:12 Yeah, okay. These are the questions we need to ask very good John very good I totally agree She makes a point of saying highly classified if it's highly classified they can't they have zero access to it and nobody is gonna talk to them yeah so this is a government leak of some sort It's bullcrap and they got their report as highly classified which is probably illegal by today's really weak standards Isn't picking up the red phone almost an act of war by itself? Yeah, well here's what's funny. In the second half of this clip you'll hear that the red phone is actually... The red phone doesn't exist! And it's not red I'm guessing? It's an old teletype. With punch cards?! No, but if you ever use one of these old teletypes- You got- no, you can't type that fast. It's a long throw key

48:02 And you have to push real hard on it individually. Oh, the key throw I don't know if you ever use... No no i've not used the... It's about almost like a I would say at least a half inch. It's a little round key that goes up and down. Like a regular keyboard but these are round keys and they are they have a huge throw. The travel yeah? Yeah the travel is just like you gotta push down in hard thing to work because it's out because it's punching the tape the ticker tape isn't it? Yes! I think so I can do teletype on my ham radio. No, but I didn't know that they said that is their red phone and well, I want to hear it here with a highly classified and unusual event at 830 using the so-called Red Phone System, a direct link to the Kremlin. A message was transmitted telling the Russians of the US would consider any interference on election day a grave matter

48:58 Why was the administration so concerned? They believe the widespread attack on the Internet on October 21st, blocking millions of Americans from popular websites was a possible dry run for a massive attack by the Russians on election day. Maybe even pulling down the electrical grid. It spooked The White House. So week later they used the red phone system. Hold on! She's saying that because Because the fear was, the Russians were going to bring down our grid. That's why they had to use the red phone. Is that part of the leak? That intel that we just received there? Apparently and now here is the question you have to ask if the Russians did anything that was onerous like this just before the election would that throw the election to Trump or just the opposite? Thank you very much! So this makes zero sense!

49:53 Sir Jeff Smith is back Is he good or what? He's the best. All right, here we go. They used the red phone system as is done in moments of crisis like 9-11 and the day the US entered Baghdad. Numerous intelligence officials say the very use of the red phone, the nuclear risk reduction center line communicated via secure satellite how serious the situation had become It's extremely unusual and it doing so sends a signal unto itself. So, it is a dramatic step to pick that phone up and use. A teletype link dubbed the red phone was put in place 53 years ago at the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis when US and Russia came to the brink of nuclear war

50:47 This hotline was used to prevent misunderstanding in a nuclear age. The call came a month after the president's face-to-face with Vladimir Putin at the G20 in China A senior intelligence official tells NBC News he believes the message to the Russians and that final Halloween transmission ended up muddled, containing no bright line and no clear warning about the consequences. The Russian response said the official was non-committal based on what we know now I would say that our response was insufficient to achieve the objective of ensuring that we do not receive further attacks in other words when someone tries to bully you have to push back or you invite further response

51:36 The intelligence community- Stop, stop. And back it up just a little bit. First of all there was no further response. There was no response at all. Zero. So why what is he talking about having the bullying? We should have been harsher we should've been more tough when nothing came of it if something came of it then I think you could make that argument but nothing came of it so why is this guy spouting off what is his point now the end of this clip, it makes the whole clip, both clips and the entire story moot. It is... There was no nothing there. There was no there, there I'll use that. Okay what we know now i would say that our response was insufficient to achieve the objective of ensuring that we do not receive further attacks in other words when someone tries to bully you have to push back or you invite further response

52:36 The intelligence community is still not certain who orchestrated that massive internet denial of service on October 21st. But intelligence sources tell us they now believe it was not the Russians. This much is clear, there's no intelligence suggesting that the Russian or anyone else meddled in any way in voting systems or critical infrastructure on election day. Alright Cynthia McFadden- Woah woah woah! I missed this memo? Yeah, they slip it in at the end hoping people are so half falling asleep so you don't notice that what she said was the entire exercise that we just discussed as a story was just nothing because there were Russians who weren't involved in any of it and they weren't involved into hacking. They were not involved in the big collapse. They're going to go after an electric grid! My goodness! So this is NBC! Hold on!!

53:36 And half of that clip of the day is for the correct usage of teletype. I love that, don't you? Isn't teletypes like 75 baud or something It's one of the slowest things, slowest methods of communication. Hey it's going very fast but if you consider how long that damn button takes to push to get one key... 10 bought it would be faster! So I do have a story about the power grid because this apparently is going to be slipped into a lot of stories Ah yes, the Russians are gonna bring down the power grid sure! It was slipped into that story and the Russians were blamed for

54:16 you know, although then they say run test run test run and we're going to have to use the red phone and all the rest of it. And I said, well there's that turns out they didn't do anything so now we have another power grid story And this one again incites, and I believe this is on CBS but it could be another NBC story. But let's play it out and figure out where we go. Nearly a quarter of a million people lost power in this small Ukrainian city when it was targeted by a suspected Russian attack last December. Vassil Pemchuk is the electric control center manager and told us when hackers took over their computers all his workers could do was film it with their cell phones

54:57 It was illogical and chaotic, he told us. It seemed like something in a Hollywood movie. The hackers sent emails with infected attachments to power company employees stealing their login credentials and then taking control of the grid systems to cut the circuit breakers at nearly 60 substations The suspected motive for the attack is the war in eastern Ukraine, where Russian-backed separatists are fighting against Ukrainian government forces. But hackers could launch a similar attack in the US. You can't just look at the Ukraine attack and go oh we're safe against that attack even if we just lose a portion right? If we have New York City or Washington DC go down for a day two days a week how does life look like at that point

55:48 Rob Lee is a former cyber warfare operations officer in the US military and investigated the Ukraine attack. He told us some US electric utilities have weaker security than Ukraine, and malicious software that hackers used has already been detected in the U S very concerning that these same actors using similar capabilities and tradecraft are preparing and are getting access to these business networks, and getting access to portions of the power grid. I am so...I said that Tina the other day, I'm so tired! I'm so tired of turning on the television and knowing that it's all just a message is all a message. And you know it was hard to believe 10 years ago

56:34 even though evidence was there, certainly in the past. You don't want to believe it? No you really don't but then it just seems so obvious and now that I think he...in hindsight even more correct about the electoral college being related to advertising for the mainstream media because their biggest problem is revenue They have huge problems with viewership. The people who still watch are dying, they're getting old and dying. They can only sell pharmaceuticals in some cars Now, I'm gonna stop you there because I put this on the show before and I still maintain that old audience that you're talking about has been bred as such...developed as such so they can sell pharmaceuticals. Oh well of course their bodies have been conditioned

57:25 Well, but you'd want an old audience that's gonna buy this overpriced drugs because they're going to die anyway so you can afford them. And that's a huge moneymaker. Yes drug companies are just paying... and they sell you the reverse mortgage to pay for it! Exactly! That's the same thing. Perfect system perfect system all right what's in clip two? I love it more of the same, but this time they kind of try to scare us even more. And by the way let's back up again that was a phishing attack? Yes That some idiot and that tells me are there schools teaching kids how to read email is there anything in the curriculum or we supposed just know this naturally that when someone says oh you need to change your password and It just comes out of the blue from some company. It seems to spell things wrong

58:16 And if you check the links and none of them make any sense. Oh, you mean being able to detect scams and stuff like that? My kid can! Your kids can! Yeah great They got burned once maybe...and then they don't forget they remember they know how to hover and look at the link underneath yeah course But even that's not adequate You just don't do any of that stuff If somebody out of the blue asks you to do something like that, unless you're doing it. If I'm on PayPal and I'm doing something on PayPal and PayPal stops me in the process and tells me what you got it, you provide, we think your company... I use VPNs a lot so it doesn't look right what you're doing. So then I get into a dialogue with them but that's not the same as getting an email. Oh, you mean PayPal gets on your case about it? Not often but they did recently. So not my main account but one of my little private accounts that came in from- What do you buy with your little private account? Stuff on Amazon.

59:21 I mean, what do i buy in the private account? It's just you know. I don't know it was just curious No, I don't you all right Fine power grid too that's what he wanted me to say yes That's true In Ukraine they restarted the power in just hours but an attack in the US Let me hear that again. In Ukraine, they restarted the power in just hours! But in DC it could be down for a week because we're no good. Oh, Nate reiterate that thesis you listen. We're no good In Ukraine, they restarted the power in just hours. But an attack in the US could leave people without electricity for days or even weeks according to experts because ironically Scott America's advanced automated grid would be much harder to fix

1:00:14 Advanced automated grid. Okay, ironically Scott Pelley that was CBS report trying to scare the unbelievable man and it's anti-russian This is a this is a bad thing we're witnessing yes now it truly is a bad thing oh my god There's oh well here we go You've got something going on and you need a distraction call me Before you go to the Clooney clip, I just want to mention that in the world of cyber whatever. The Ukrainians are some of the worst criminals and probably just hacked themselves one two as I mentioned before when it went to visit Cloudflare Most of the hacks the international hacks are taking place whether its fishing or anything else comes from Iran Yeah, mentioned it before just so you know

1:01:11 Okay. Uh, well it's not a clip but Clooney has partnered with his uh... with Grant Hesloff who I think did a documentary about the white helmets and now Clooney is going to make a movie yeah that's a fictional film about the white helmets of course yeah well if there's one thing Clooney knows how to do is how to get money to make a movie yes well he's good at that he's very good at that and he's good at making decent movies There is something interesting that popped up, that Qatar and Russia are working on a deal together. And I believe it might be selling off a piece of Rosneft

1:01:56 But that would be very interesting for the Syria situation, you know. Taking into account that this really all started with the pipeline that Qatar wanted to run up to Turkey... That Assad said, nah, it's alright I'll take the one from Iraq-Iran and Russia. I'll take that one don't worry about it we will pump our own gas up through Cyprus And of course is a genesis of what happened or climate change. It's the genesis of everything! But if the Russians do a deal with Qatar, maybe they can work something out. Maybe. Very interesting. Possible

1:02:36 I know they're cutting out John Kerry from any of these discussions taking place or about anything. He's a moron, it's no good. It's just not good. Kirby has to apologize...I don't have any clips of Kirby but Kirby is apologizing in front of the press corps saying well we weren't really cut out with...I know we weren't invited but you know and he was making all these excuses and he was handling it pretty well. Instead of, you know... I don't know what else you could do. It's not much if you're not invited to the party. You can't go to the party. Could go to the party but then you'd be an interloper. Well, The United Nations Security Council has adopted Resolution 2328 demanding immediate unhindered access for observation of monitoring civilian evacuations from Aleppo This is obviously a set up start because the next one will be hey we got to have a No-Fly Zone and kill everybody and bomb and fight the Russians! I don't know what they're thinking

1:03:31 But none of it bodes well. I do have a clip before we get to the next segment, the C-block that was kind of interesting and this is on RT, of course because RT has completely different narrative than American public is being fed in regards to Aleppo. The American narrative and the British narrative but only two narratives really everybody else's pretty objective except Americans and the British who claim that The eastern Aleppo is being bombed, specifically the hospitals are being bombed and shelled by the Russians and the government troops to kill the civilians. And if anything happens in western Aleppo where there's peace kind of it's because of the Russian bombers not

1:04:19 the rebels in eastern Aleppo firing shells. And the rebels in eastern Aleppo wouldn't let anyone leave and all this stuff, no-no-no it was the Syrian government that wouldn't let anyone leave when they wanted to kill them all! Although they didn't want to kill anyone in Western Aleppo, but yes they did because they were bombing hospitals. The whole thing is just that it makes zero sense narrative being pushed on the UK and American audiences by the media for whatever reason we don't know what is some anti-Russian thing is what we have to assume so an Anglican priest from the UK who seemed pretty objective decided to go to Aleppo. The western, not eastern can't get in there right? Eastern is destroyed so he goes to Aleppo and again he comes back with a report that I think... He was kind of stunned by the fact that everyone he talked to had the RT narrative and none of the UK narrative. And they love Pooin! They love Pooin yeah they love Pooin

1:05:19 Here in Britain and Europe, certainly. The message is very, very one-sided. I mean almost exclusively we're hearing from so called rebel sources within East Aleppo. And I had the opportunity to go independently and of course at my own expense to go and see quite some people telling consistent stories of the brutality that they've experienced at the hands of the rebels. The West Aleppo, which has been bombarded almost daily from rockets and shells from terrorist positions... Very fortunate to go and visit areas of East Aleppo liberated within the last few days And also to visit a couple of reception centers for refugees who have just arrived

1:06:05 They're coming with horrific stories of what they've been through and stories that actually contradict the main narrative we are hearing here. Many stories of murder by the terrorists, rape, imprisonment, execution of people who show any sort of support for government. Yeah, I saw some video. Maybe it's all shock yeah the Western Aleppo everyone's you know everything is not bombed Everyone looks pretty happy though You know that mean those cars on the street this vendors on the street people eating food on the streets and of course then we have That Egyptian guy that's in comes into the picture. I do have a very short clip about him Is the ejection did this is all over the Twitters and every place? Oh this guy staging phony baloney photos which doesn't help the situation

1:06:56 Well, from the real Siri there to a fake one because an Egyptian filmmaker has been charged with spreading false information after he was caught staging pictures to show wounded children in Aleppo to be spread on social media. You can stop it. This is my pet peeve. Fake news. Another fake news? Well... yes! I'm going to take this into the C-block with a clip that, I think really brings us there. More Russian hacking but this time it hasn't been positioned that way but man we are affecting the American economy!

1:07:38 If you want to consider Facebook to be a part of the economy. The firm that's releasing this report is called White Ops, they're a cybersecurity firm They specialize in the digital ad industry and what they're saying here Is that there are significant fraud right at the heart of the digital video advertising industry? They're saying that they have a massive botnet operating they believe out of Russia that is defrauding major advertisers and ad buyers to the tune of three to five million dollars. Now I just want to stop for a second before you because he's gonna explain it incorrectly this is something that's been going on for 10 years at least

1:08:15 It's called arbitrage. And this is usually done by Silicon Valley startups who are coming up on a board meeting, you know some kind of we got to show our metrics because of course they're not making any money and so what they do is they go out and you know, of course you have your advertising slots where stuff's going to show on your page or in your video and you go out to a company and say okay I need 100 thousand views per day. And you pay them $5 dollars

1:08:53 views and you go turn around and you charge the advertisers through the advertising network $7. So that's, and the two dollars in between is what you keep and you keep that. And then, you know, you make more cheap content for 25 cents. You keep one 75 per thousand views to very simple system. And this they may be blaming this on Russia, but this is happening in the United States mainly today. Yeah. And most of the companies that you do business with are not in Russia. No, they're in America! Yeah. They're in America! How's Russia getting involved? This makes zero sense. Another story that has no logical sense. I don't mind blaming Russia for something they did... Let's listen to the report. A billion dollars a day and now you can think of this as sort of the high-frequency trading fraud of the digital advertising industry. The digital... Noooo has nothing to do...

1:09:50 What does he say here hold on a second? Think of this as sort of the high-frequency trading fraud He's saying it's like the high frequency trading for high frequency trading is not a fraud. No, it's not a fraud at all It said it may not be good But it's not a fraud mechanism that people use to make money and just micro sense so lots So he doesn't even know what he's talking about the digital advertising industry. The digital advertising industry works by an automated exchange that matches buyers and sellers in real time as users click on impressions, and what they're saying in this new white paper that was out at 9 o'clock... As users click on impressions? What is that?! What does that mean? But it's users click on impressions! Bullshit! It's bull crap! Who is this guy? Where was this from? Where'd you get this? I think its CNN

1:10:39 I think. The botnet here has been able to defraud the exchange by placing fake ads into the exchange and then collecting the money from advertisers. No, no, no! Fake ads? He's a dick. No. Just fake ad and how do they make money from that? Of course he is an idiot. They take real ads put them on their bull crap sites that no one looks at except for the botnets they unleash That's what it is

1:11:22 Advertisers are paying for ads that are ultimately not being viewed by real human beings here. They say that as many as 300 million fake ad views a day, are being made by this botnet so it's a massive fraud but we should note Carl that there is basically one firm here White Ops which is making this allegation and will have to see whether other cyber security firms can verify this allegations and what the advertising industry has to say about later on in this morning Yes! And who benefits from this? Who benefits? Mainstream television benefits from this. Oh, you really don't want to be putting your stuff on face bag or on the on the YouTubes because you know it's all fake everything's fake The whole world is fake The news is fake the ads are fake the viewers are fake the only thing real Is this show and we don't want to talk about native ads at all? oh I have a great one for you coming up later on but first I want to say in the morning to you Thank you for your courage John C

1:12:20 This is EastEnders for coming to Los Angeles for a meetup. Dvorak! In the morning to you Adam Curry, in the morning to all those ships that seem to move on the ground feet in the air and yes That's what it means. So I was in the water and all the dames and knights out there. In the morning to The Chatroom marginally helpful today but good to have you there at knowledgeinthestream.com And in the morning too Comic strip blogger who brought us said the artwork for episode 887 a title that was fact checkmate Check mate and he brought us the Darth Vader or The Russians did It which I think we like that a lot because it really worked very funny yeah worked well for for the release of the movie and, of course, for the Russians being responsible for everything. So unlike the fake ads, the real ads that are just not seen by people there are real people who contribute to this program they do it like our artists no agenda art generator dot com They give us again tons of clips People helping out And of course financial means is also big help and it's really cool how everyone just jumped in on the triple eight four for good measure Good luck I guess

1:13:26 Yeah, that's what I'm guessing. All right let's start off with our big donation for today which is 123 dot no one two three four five six Wow from a said we can use his name Roger anonymous okay and he How would yeah but the joke is at least kind of a joke He's been doing this exact same donation for the last five years Holy crap Yes, once a year.

1:22:25 Dear John and Adam, I waited until show 888 to donate this month. Even though I saw some skinny donations were in earlier weeks... ...I wanted to give you guys a holiday bonus. Give myself a birthday present my knighthood and score some New Year's luck with the eights! Nice. I'd like to be called Dame Karen of Cimarron Hills. Now is she on the list? Well, she should be.

He gave 888 and says went on holiday in Crete with my lovely girlfriend our bus stop had number 33. Oh yes it's what happens. It was one of those in New Orleans I think I took a picture of it Coincidence? I think not. 33 reminded me that I should donate to the show once more. I missed out on the nine-year celebration so consider this a happy 10th anniversary in advance hence the ten times sack of eights

1:24:03 I stopped consuming the mainstream media after spending six months in your Gitmo nation back in 2005, cancelling my cable and so on. Looking for an alternative for nearly a decade it was only some time ago that my friend Manfred M pointed me to The No Agenda Show." Oh nice! Can you read from there? I just screwed up something... The first couple of episodes were a revelation And quickly your show became a substantial part of my week. You keep on surprising me with your shows sometimes I listen twice to some of the episodes with a big smile on my face We have a lot of people that listen twice Tina listens twice Huh? Yeah Not sure why She says she misses stuff sometimes and particularly your stuff you throw in zingers that people they really do need to listen multiple times to catch everything you say Well It's little Easter eggs, little nuggets of beauty

1:24:56 Nuggets. Sometimes I even listen twice to some of the episodes with a big smile on my face, this also applies to the artwork! Keep up the good work you truly are the guardians of reality. Brief boots on the ground from Gitmo nation Lowlands Also here the mainstream media paved the way for Empress Hillary and her gang Many people are still in total disbelief and a lot of people absolutely believe all the fake news about Russian hackers and so on The last couple of years it's become really difficult to discuss politics, EU refugees climate change economics or wars as a lot of people seem to stop thinking for themselves and sadly only repeat what they are told via mainstream media this way blocking out reality. I'm glad that in your show notes i can find ammunition to keep hitting them in the mouth yes thank you for mentioning that archive noagendanotes.com is where you want to go for the archive all the show notes

1:25:50 It's for them I'd like to request the clips. Can you read these clips while I look for them? Yes, I will do that if I hold on a second... I'm having a few difficulties with this spreadsheet. Okay, what did I see two to the head fear is freedom This again i want to remind people if you don't do these extremely long notes it's very useful because Well, it's my fault I guess for using LibreOffice. Libra stands for freedom. Oh, yeah, Libra office Okay You will obey and of course a lot of karma all the fellow producers An additional portion of jobs car would be nice to the first couple of months 2017 will be very busy I've requested it before and it really does help your show also takes care of my mental hygiene Yes as this donation promotes me tonight who'd like to be known as sir Rob night of the philanthropic shareholders Federation And I have to check and make sure he's on the list. I think he is

1:26:51 Rob, yes he's on the list. OK? You can also put a flag on the map in Leiden, The Netherlands I'll proudly include the credits in my LinkedIn as a final request. I'd like to be on the birthday list for next week is my birthdays on Wednesday December 28th please email us again so you get it on there because the word Christmas seems have been banned and Gitmo Lowlands this year Happy holidays, he says. Okay! Outstanding thank you very much for your substantial donation Rob and we got a let me see you can give you that jobs car we've got everything ready All right onward with Sir Chris of Carmel by the sea

1:27:53 Hey guys, just posted a donation. Merry Christmas and congratulations on show 888! Thank you much for your continued dedication to excellence in media deconstruction even on holidays and vacation Sometimes I think Adam needs combat pay for wrestling with the internet connection and the stream while away from the studio or at home. Or here. Lesser shows would just post a best of recording but not no agenda! Please add my wife Kristen to the birthday list as she turns 29 on 24th and is the love of my life

1:28:30 Can I get a Mac and Cheese Jobs Karma? Yep. And Mac and Cheese Life Jobs Karma, which is the bigger one. Here's to happiness health and prosperity in 2017 also the best of you and The No Agenda family Cheers Chris Sir Chris Carmel by the sea. Living the mac n' cheese life! Mac N' Cheese by Ayn Rand. Jobs jobs jobs and job let's vote for jobs! You've got karma you Next up, Michael Johnson $333.33 and he sent a note to your email Okay, Michael Johnson did indeed send an email Dear John Adam I've been listening to the show for couple of years here and there Would like to thank you for all the amazing media deconstruction You've been providing It's great to sit back and let family friends and co-workers argue over the politics government and social issues that plague the news daily All the while smiling because i know it is all BS Yes! This is the healthy attitude

1:29:30 Do not engage, do not engage. Yeah and by the way I do this myself. I get into a group of people that just are to be honest about it. I don't care how educated they're there are know nothings yeah and they go off with some just bunch of memes that are delivered them delivered to them by the media and they're just yak-yak-yak about it and they're all in on it and they're all doing whatever you can even did...I just sit back and you know unless their agenda people that also actually free thinkers which, you know as not everybody is. I just kind of roll my eyes and say... No it's just sit back enjoy smile and just watch. I mean it's fantastic that you can actually watch people who are living in a parallel universe Yes! And in fact your parallel universe mentioned at couple shows back when you brought it up promoted it Yeah Is absolutely what's going on It's so obvious

1:30:24 It's parallel universes, two different dimensions. But we can see the other one! I think the reason why it is so hard to talk to someone who is completely on the other side of all these issues... let us just call them hillbots for right now The reason why its so hard to speak with them Is because you have to communicate through the gooey wall between the parallel universes That's why it's like molasses talking to people and you have to shower afterwards because this stuff gets a little very nasty I hate that when it happens. Yeah As this is my first donation to the show Michael Johnson continues, I would like to request the de-douching in a big karma to all the producers who were donating while I was not love The show keep up the great work Michael Johnson in Waterloo Wisconsin of course You've been D douche

1:31:09 You've got karma. In the morning, happy holidays to you and John and Adam. As a millennial saddled with plenty of student loan debt the appropriate amount of $3888 is a bit out of my means so instead I decided to split the eights in half and send in a donation of 333.33. So by splitting it in half 888 becomes 333, this is your millennial education. My new... No just kidding! My New Year's resolution is to be knighted by... Be the Knight of Lambda Calculus if that's... Wait a minute dude here's another one If that's still available I don't know have to check in the database That may.. It's a popular one Luckily my Comp Sci degree has actually gotten me a job unlike some friends like most friends

1:32:10 I started watching after show 850 and since your twice weekly dose of sanity and skepticism has become an important part of my routine, your analysis has been invaluable for discussing the state of the country in the world at large with my cohorts. Though most of the conversation tends to be reassuring them that Trump isn't the monster they've been led to believe. Please play this show numbers station ISO followed by time to rubble eyes for Thursday's India, Tango, Mike. Standby 33-33-33 Rubbleizer out. Rubble on the double!

1:33:10 Baronet Donald of the Fire Bottles in Spokane Valley, Washington 222.22 He is normally sending us notes on the official letterhead of the Federation but this note is sent on a Hewlett Packard letterhead so I don't know He says, so this is not an official note. Just a note. Gentlemen in celebration of two years of listening to the NOAA agenda show I enclose a sack o' twos!

1:35:37 I honestly cannot remember how far back i started listening to the new agenda show but i was hit in the mouth by a long time douchebag. Furthermore as a second-time executive producer, i'm humbling request... i'm humbling it says humbling requesting I should be humbly requesting a double douchebag call out to Ed Lehman, of FEMA Region 9 in Pasadena California.

Yeah I'm cracking myself up In the morning by the way she wrote in longhand so somebody still teaching long hand somewhere Nice nice

1:42:23 In the morning, as a small and it's very readable. As a small token of my appreciation... This is in other words penmanship was involved here. Yes, penmanship which you used to get a grade for? Yeah I used to get an A or B or C for penmanship. I was in the D range. I noticed. As a small token of my appreciation for this incredible work you do, I wanted to send you a little something. I'm sorry that was a microaggression. Yeah, it was. It was a microaggression I guess and you know you can't do any of these things like that anymore. I want to send a little something for the holidays. A check will put me one step closer to Dame Hood but the

1:43:12 Something... Ah, it's the penmanship. But the ants! Oh the answer purely for your- The ants? Alright okay now I get it. The ants are- She sent me some ant candy. Oh nice did you try it?! What!? I guess not The answer purely for your enjoyment, I'll always get a smiley face. Also mentioned that I bought an extra package of ants to send to Adam but he has yet to respond to my request for his address. Basically i'm calling him out! So Adam if you'd like your ants tell me where are you to send them and they will or they're yours on a serious note as a 24 year old woman uh... I often find myself not

1:43:58 Oh, not getting any... I see what it is. Sure A's look like Cs in longhand. Not getting any of the social norms for millennials. I'm not getting them thanks to No Agenda. I am more prepared to defend my thoughts and theories as the community of like-minded thinkers is priceless Thanks so much for all you do. Merry Christmas." She says, I'm writing you a note with the pen that we recommend. No, she's got no... Give her your big message.

1:44:37 So you were a big and I will try. I will definitely try the ants Sorry, I was just gonna suggest you give her a little ant angle there on that You've got karma And there's your aunt angle you want to hear something bad yes of course I do so I let it so I guess our lemon rotted It's about a week ago. Oh no, not the lemon? No A-lemon. Oh okay. The lemon rotted and was sitting there I guess for awhile and I guess there was...I assume somehow flies get in the house sometimes but i guess a fruit fly got in the house oh no and laid eggs in the rotten lemon

1:45:29 Now, the fruit flies' lifespan is about... I think it's maybe a day. Maybe like 20 hours and they can lay eggs and these hatch within 15 minutes. So you get these little guys in the house. They're very small. They're incredibly dinky and there just like gnats we call them gnats So I had a gnat invasion on top of the ants. Wait, the ants are still there? No, the ants came back because it was something they were up to something because their temperature got really cold and when they do that they hide...they go inside people's houses to kind of hang out for awhile Well, there is lots of places to hide in your house i think

1:46:10 No, not that many. I know where they come in and how they get out of use up. I use some blockers when I can't get rid of them right away. Some ant block is a toxic chemical. Yummy yummy. But I can't do it to these fireflies so i have one of these devices this pretty good piece there's a little tip is one of my tips. Ah John C. Dvorak Nat Tip Well, then there's a tip about bugs in the house. Oh bugs! There is a device you can find it online I mean besides the bug zappers i have one of those to the electrocutors just like an ultraviolet light and bugs are attracted to lighten they get zapped and they die no I like that one has the ultraviolet light they come in and then a fan blows them down to the bottom through a trap door That's what im talking about we've discussed this on the show yes we have its soapy water

1:46:57 and gets blown into it, and you catch a lot of moths and all kinds of weird things. Ants or these gnats? Gnats! They don't care they don't go... what's this I dunno? Where is some fruit we can lay eggs in? They're like the honey badger It's unbelievable. So I couldn't use that device to get rid of these things, so I have to kind of pull back everything and lock everything up and then they're all dead because they only last a day. And then yesterday I think I got it made there is none. One...I saw one. Ah! Oh shit, I gotta kill him before he gets in the hay. Before you can lay eggs? Before HE can lay eggs yeah or whatever Yeah Or if he could find a female and she'd lay the eggs. I don't know i'm just telling this is a problem

1:47:40 Well, you know what? Here's Adams tip because I like it because it gives you exercise and it's fun to do. You get one of those electric tennis rackets. You see one of those? They're not good for nets! Oh they slip through?! Yeah, there's no way and they don't have enough mass Trigger the rocket. Oh man flies yeah You need a flying if you hear the flight hit it and he's got in the fly has enough mass to make this thing work These gnats now. They say what the hell is this guy doing? I'm crazy. I'm sorry about that That sucks Nats whatever. Hey everybody that concludes our extensive list of 888 donors executive producers associate executive producers, of course We have lots of credits to do the shows I mean you might as well warn the affiliates we're going long The show will be late posting is just how it works It's it's nuts but men really thank you for your courage and your passion all of you And of course, we do have another show coming up on Sunday That will be our best-of show

1:48:43 It is 889. It's the Christmas special put together for you by Sir Ramsey Cain and of course we're also, we did the intros and outros then we come in in the middle um...and then uh..in the new year will be back on New Year's Day bringing you the... Actually the Thursday after Christmas. Oh that's right! You are right. So yeah Thursday after Christmas and then on New Year's day Yeah so it's going to be fantastic Yeah, I hope so. And remember us at... So you need to lay back You need to chill and smile until you see an opening Then propagate! Our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth Well John I was right I had the right actor I had the wrong outcome

1:49:41 And I could have offered this as an alternative outcome, and I'm sad that I didn't do it because now my Redbook entry is no good. Okay... Yeah, uh- I thought they were gonna kill her but of course how stupid am i? Erdogan genius as he is He goes and rescues the seven year old kid who's verified on Twitter tweeting from Aleppo It's the latest footage of seven-year old Abana a labid not in war torn Syria But in Turkey's presidential palace in it carefully managed photo op with President Erdogan camera lens snapping away Bona wearing new clothes smiles Bonna Bonna no

1:50:25 Not Bono. He could come on deck too. ...Bona wearing new clothes smiles, kissing Erdogan on the cheek he in turn kisses her hand later as she and her brother sit on Erdogan's lap she looks to Erdogan and says... I'd like to send some money that you drive to Crowne Royce. Stop! Stop! The opulence of the... Yeah stop She's a Syrian girl, somehow rescued. She is now in Turkey and while in Turkey as a Syrian she's speaking English." Oh wait until you hear how her mom what her mom writes his tweets! Now these people are fantastic they speak English fluently

1:51:12 fluently and she said, you know she's of course looking at her mom. She puts this all day speak I've never heard anything else about it But it's rehearsed It's totally rehearsed You think? Yeah This is great propaganda and its all in this report All carefully orchestrated press conference Its all in there The opulence of the presidential palace Is a stark contrast to the doomsday scenario She and her mother had been warning about on Twitter for weeks Living in an area controlled by the armed opposition, an area bombarded almost daily by air strikes and artillery. Her family somehow managed to get an internet connection." Oh yeah this is always my problem with all of these YouTube videos and tweets from Eastern Aleppo. Yeah they got a connection no problem And here CNN themselves say somehow hey dude just a thought maybe ask maybe do some uh what's the word

1:52:06 Journalism, that's what it is. Her mother tweeting several times that each tweet would be their last. Now listen to this... But the tweets weren't their last as the evacuations were underway photos of young Banna surfaced smiling at a refugee camp run by a Turkish religious charity in northern Syria At one point, her mother tweeted directly to Turkey's president and foreign minister saying please please please make this ceasefire work and get us out now. Turkey's foreign ministry told reporters they were making special... Now is that someone who uh Is that someone who A seven-year old? She's a seven year old No that's her mom apparently Please please please get us out now That is an American who wrote that

1:52:52 Nowhere will you see a English as second language saying that. That is an American who wrote that. Nobody would write that unless they were an American, even in Britain wouldn't say that! Well, they don't speak English. It's a whole different language so exactly right. The ceasefire work and get us out now! Turkey's foreign... Wait wait. The ceasefire work? I mean this is propaganda listen to this. At one point her mother tweeted directly to turkey's president and foreign minister saying please please please make the cease fire work and get us out now That is...I'm sorry

1:53:28 I'm sorry turkey's foreign ministry told reporters they were making special arrangements Specifically for bonna and her family to be whisked out of syria and straight to turkeys capital ankara Many praise bonna, and her family for offering a daring glimpse into the harsh realities of living through A devastating war now there's a couple of interesting things here first of all um Erdogan is now, he is now the hero. Oh look I saved the Syrians! Whereas what he's really doing is in there killing Kurds with a YRG This of course this...I mean this is what Obama should have the kid Yeah we saved the kid, Merca We got him, we got her, we took care of it BAM BAM WE RULE No Erdogan does it, Erdogan Well they tweeted to him

1:54:20 Yeah, but they've been tweeting to a whole bunch of people. Well they tweeted to him and he took action did they ever tweet to Obama? This I don't know. I'm just saying from a global optics perspective, if it was done by an American propagandist let's assume so...I mean just assuming so we are going to see and the reason that Obama wouldn't pick up on this is gonna find out this whole thing is fraud We would have to now yeah And then Obama would get off the hook because he had nothing to do with it Right But they'd gone and visited Obama and turns out was a fraud which obviously is from the get-go, but then Obama had been humiliated. So that's why Obama was... so they did something this is about Erdogan somehow? Well, there are a couple things we should talk about because of course we had this insane assassination in Ankara of the Russian ambassador

1:55:18 I, you know, I've got to tell you man. I found that a very hard one uh...to look at and understand there's so many things wrong with what i'm seeing the thing that was the most wrong which they didn't put in the last newsletter and im not going to put it in the christmas newsletter but ill probably put it in one after that was this one photo from behind the podium with the guy I don't know what he's doing, the gunman. But the ambassador was laid out like a cartoon guy shot. Yeah with no blood? I'm not sure of that but you know... He was shot from behind yeah there wasn't a pool of blood that's for sure but there were also no exit wounds because i saw the video where they're taking him out of the ambulance his shirt is off and they wheel him by the camera and there's no exit wounds

1:56:11 All I know is that he's flat on his back. I don't know any of the other stuff that you're saying, because I didn't get any further than this but he's flat on his back with his arms straight out as though it's almost like a cartoon or a Hollywood death. But he shot from behind and then falls backwards? Yeah, he got shot in the back, he falls perfectly backwards lands perfectly on his back with his arm extended perfectly Let me tell ya' You get a slug in the back, your going forward baby! Your not falling back Yeah, they said he's just slumped. I don't know this whole thing is screwy yeah It's and it's yeah, it's very very troubling Anyway you'll see this photo in the newsletter. I did save it. I don't know how long it's gonna be online You don't know and then sadly of course Although wasn't like some big secret, but I think we

1:57:06 certainly revealed that this was coming several and probably at least a week before there were warnings in the media about Christmas markets in Germany. We specifically mentioned that, specifically! And so what do the Germans do? They put protections around everything but not the Christmas market. One of our guys on the ground right there I mean he's sending me hourly updates... He says it is insane what is happening right now. Insane they are so I'm sorry? They say we have a Berlin report, we can play it from CBS which is... Well i'd like to play my Berlin report if you don't mind. Okay. Here we go because there's something that is very annoying Tonight a frantic manhunt and an urgent message across Europe warning people to stay away from this man and to help find him

1:57:49 German police say 24-year old Anas Omri from Tunisia is now quote under urgent suspicion in the Christmas market attack in Berlin that killed a dozen people and wounded almost 50 others. Police say Omris identification was found inside the truck along with the truck's original driver, who had been shot at close range. As the search for the alleged terrorist expands including raids by police in northern Germany where he lived there is growing concern about his links to ISIS He had contact with radical Islamist organizations various security services assessed him as a person who poses a risk

1:58:26 ISIS has claimed responsibility for inspiring the attack and CNN has learned Omri has connections to an ISIS recruiting operation funneling would-be terrorists to the group's stronghold in Syria and Iraq. Even more concerning, German officials once had Omri in custody I need to make an assertion here, which is so obvious that you kind of gloss over it throughout the years. But this very annoying trend of passports being left behind by perpetrators of atrocities such as the 9-11 hijackers.

1:59:05 Passport, perfectly fine. Found on the ground We have in Paris The Paris Bataclan attack Oh! I can't believe i left my passport in my getaway car How stupid am I? This goes back to Lee Harvey Oswald Who lost his wallet with his ID Near the crime scene And the guy who killed him Who killed Lee Harvey Oswald He left like a whole bundle of proof with this passport gun. I mean, all it is just this is, I just have to say maybe it's like the best lie is the one that's right out there bold face right in the open when there is a

1:59:47 an operation and they want to make sure that we blame it on somebody, we drop a passport. It's what we do I can't see it any other way. It makes no sense." Well first of all it wasn't a passport was his identification that they found because he didn't hit because here's the kicker that you did get...I had a clip but don't know where it is when he was arrested to be deported they didn't deport him He didn't have a passport. Yes, I did know that yeah so that's the dumbest thing ever now if you listen to the NBC report which i think is the worst of the reports I have a CBS one it was pretty good but the NBC report kind of talks about this because apparently his passport just showed up because they look for they wanted a replacement let me get this straight You got the guy in custody and you're going to deport him? This is a little while ago But he has no identification he lost his passport

2:00:43 So you order another passport from Tunisia. That means you must know who he is and you order the passport so you can deport him, this is crazy! These Germans are either nuts or this is all bullcrap. I'm thinking bullcrap John for sure. This is the face plastered across Germany tonight on... Did they have a little bar over his face? Over his eyes? Because in the German newspapers, they're publishing pictures of him and they put a bar over his eyes. How are you supposed to find him? Because it's bullshit! Timecode. This is the face plastered across Germany

2:01:22 Tonight, Anas Omri a 23-year old Tunisian national called armed and violent associated with Islamic terror networks. Police say his ID papers were in the cab of the truck that barreled through a crowded Christmas market at 40 miles an hour Now we're learning his trail across Germany was a possible tale of missed opportunities Emre arrived in Germany in July 2015 At one point living in this home for refugees in the southwest His asylum application rejected back in June. He was suspected of plotting an attack, even put under surveillance for months. Scheduled to be deported in July but it never happened because he didn't have a valid passport and in August he was reportedly arrested but then released by a judge after presenting fake documents... ...and then disappeared! The ability for law enforcement and the intelligence agency- Wait a minute so this could be a fake document too?

2:02:20 Well, I first disagree with your basic premise which you don't have. What was he leaving his ID in the truck? Why is it in his pocket or not even have it on him so that's the whole thing this is really very suspicious. Let's continue and it doesn't even look like a good job. It means like a hack job. How do you get out of the truck in the first place nobody somebody pointed this out on one of the talking head shows. Play the rest of this clip and then I'll bitch about it." And then disappeared! The ability for law enforcement and intelligence agencies to identify every single person who poses a threat, it's impossible to do Still at Berlin police headquarters officials tell us they have matters under control

2:03:05 I ask him if Berlin is safe. Yes, he answers it is secure but some security here is still a work in progress like the famous Christmas market at Alexanderplatz which just reopened today A busy street is right here and as you can see the markets entrance has no barrier As darkness fell, authorities lowered concrete blocks almost 45 hours after the attack. Now the manhunt sparking fresh criticism of German Chancellor Angela Merkel under fire for her decision to open German borders to nearly a million migrants many fleeing the civil war in Syria

2:03:44 The crime scene tonight, not protected by concrete but guarded by candles. Officials tonight say Tunisia initially declined issuing that passport questioning if he was a citizen they ended up approving it but that passport arrived today. Lester? Hans Nichols in Berlin tonight Oh man Okay here's the one thing that came out of one of the talking head shows which I could have clipped... I think that clip is good enough Where are all those iPhone videos Yeah, none of that. I would...you know it's interesting you say that because I went looking for a... You know like in Nice there was a lot of photos and videos. I haven't seen much at all! No there is none if somebody comes crashing into a thing like this everyone is pulling their phones out they all have smartphones in Germany not all but most people do and they'd be filming it They would see the guy getting out of cab he has movies of that He had all these stuff. You got nothing

2:04:44 Yeah, I hadn't. Yeah that did cross my mind briefly. Every event that takes place there's a bunch of gawkers around they claimed at least one report said the police to get all the evidence they could confiscated all the phones they could right Well, they said don't release any of these videos. Right? Why? But you know John ultimately the way this works is it's just like you know we have a you know the intel 17 intelligence agencies all are in consensus there's no official word but you know they leaked it and then they're actually saying it's not true but that is that's just going to be it everyone's convinced it worked done next

2:05:20 So then you drop a passport, an ID whatever it is and then that's where the person from. That's who he is done. It's I mean...it's just brazen! Brazen! But because nobody in the media questions any of this? No one questions it. It's kind of suspicious that he just left his ID behind Oh if you don't know who I am here's my ID I'll leave it behind so you'll know Really?! Yeah And then the rest of the cock and bull story about why we couldn't deport him because we didn't know who he really was. It's kind of thing, they knew who he is but so they released them and then they released him again? Yeah. Now I could be in France, I've noticed another report came out oh there's no protection between France and Germany you could have driven, he could be in Paris for all you know right now. He'd be in Lyon anywhere just having a big burger anyway yeah don't do it...yeah no I said it sorry that's okay you didn't catch me I cut myself

2:06:17 The wallet of Lee Harvey Oswald and killer of officer JD Tippett dropped his wallet which was found at the scene of Tippitt's murder. I got it wrong, okay What else did we have? Visa of Sattam al-Sukwami. That's one of the 911 hijackers, of course, we also had the other dude Zia Jarrah and Saeed Al Ghamdi, hijackers of Flight 93 they found their passports crazy huh there was nothing but a black hole in the ground in Pennsylvania A black hole! No nothing But we found the passport entirely intact beautiful

2:06:57 Yeah, these things happen. You want to go a little lighter? I got one lighter thing to do. Kind of an entremont. Yes! Why don't we do two in a row? Two entremonts?! Two entrements in a row. That doesn't even make any sense but let me do mine this is an ask Adam. Ah alrighty well this is nice okay I'm hoping that you don't know the answers to these questions. Okay, you want a theme? You got a little thing so... Yeah, I got it all. I actually typed in Axe Adam this is getting bad. Yeah well welcome to Texas. Here we go Ask Adam do i have any yeah here's an ask adam jingle somewhere yeah everybody it's time to play that game once again where John tries to stump me

2:07:52 Okay, fine. All right! What's the ask? This is a list of words this would be that this is the premise clip number one is the premise The premise? So I just play this? Adam NBC, that's the word. Number one is...clip number one is the premise that the question you'll be asked will reveal itself. Come out best of worst of even the most annoying words thanks to a Marist College poll about 1,000 adults. The number one most annoying word in their view is the same as last year Ah okay! I get the game. The number one most annoying word

2:08:29 Yeah. Which is the same as last year, annoyingly annoying. So you should know it. Millennial? Uh... Wait I'll buzz my head. Okay. I'll give you one more chance. Alright. You gonna be a hint or do i just have to go again? I'm not giving you no hint. How about uh okay okay um literally Okay, no. No all right So let's play clip to that this is two not three plate clip to which will give you the word and then lead into The second question is the same one as last year whatever? Okay Whatever that's the most annoying thing hmm That's what they said whatever whatever whatever I say whatever okay now there's four more words They're gonna reveal guess one of them do have to guess before they review

2:09:23 Hello. Four more, right? Now be one now and who answered these questions again is the some polls during Marist Marist University. University university. You don't have to give up. I'm gonna give up, okay? Here we go is the same one as last year whatever the second most annoying is actually a phrase no offense But that never ends well tied for third you know right and I can't even

2:10:03 And rounding out the top five, the word huge. OK I can't even yeah i can see that but i think right? Yeah right! I think i get half a point Well you got closer now it depends if you're in jeopardy they probably wouldn't have given it to ya well things i find annoying fact of the matter end of day yea no right? Right? Those are the ones that... Okay is another one. Okay, you know? Yeah alright well that was a nice entremont There you go Hard to beat Alright I will give a little entremont myself then and this would be uh oh yes this is very good This is from The Seed Man! I have a new clip Was this when you were on? Uh same day same day because of course now I appear on his channel so I have to honor him in our show

2:11:00 Okay. You are weak Americans, you are weak Europeans! Your will and our eyes we will take them before we kill your first... uh, your pigs! What is that? Well at first I thought this was him talking in tongues. It's Klingon actually Oh Klingon That guy man You know No slouch. Let's put it that way no hey, I did get a note from A number of people about the ovum phobia

2:11:44 The fear of eggs that some people have. Oh, right, right. Yeah. Fear of egg. And so I did a little bit research as well. First of all he says... yeah, I work at one of the largest egg exporters we're about $1 cheaper per dozen than normal right now. Yeah, I heard this but then they were talking about those bland light yellow yolked tasteless eggs is what we're talking about when we're talking about that dollar cheaper than normal. Possibly? No

2:12:23 Definitely. So the but here so I said you know is the egg council which isn't called the egg councils call it something else? Don't have it here Are they pushing this he says, I'm not sure but it wouldn't surprise me They do a lot of work But it seemed that phrase seems to be eggs on everything yeah That's the phrase Yeah You had that clip bunch played again ah you mean the toy From the toy. Yeah, it's a toy given to kids That was pretty bad let me see where is it? It's the I got it. You want this song? Well do both. Here's the song Put an egg on it! Woo! Yay! Put an egg on it! Ba-ba-bam-bam

2:13:30 So this is great because now producers of the NOA Jenda show can keep an eye out. You will see this moving and let's track it! You're going to find again, this is just like when you get the bogus stories about coffee. You're gonna live longer or are you gonna die? You know, all this stuff. You need four cups a day is my favorite when they came up with that meme. Four cups of dead be wired and I can drink coffee and go to bed but four cups today at least where maybe I'm drinking strong coffee but geez, I'd been shaken

2:14:06 One of our producers also caught something which I didn't hear the first time around. This is that we were laughing about Chris Cuomo on CNN saying 99% of all scientists are in on man-made climate change Right. And then his colleague corrects him and says CNN says 90 but there was something else in here I'm going to play an excerpt of that clip, listen if you can hear it or you don't No! That's not what he is saying He sees nuance where... By the way do you want to listen what Cuomo is saying? That's what I want you to listen too Okay. That's not what he is saying He sees nuance where you see black & white 99% of the scientific community

2:14:48 Global warming is impacted by males. CNN says the number's 90%, but here's the deal... So you probably couldn't hear it. It has impacted something By males! He says, by males I'm sorry what yeah, he says climate change impacted 99% impacted by by males listen or you don't know that's not what He's saying. He's saying that the new he sees nuance where UC black and white that it's either 99 percent of the scientific community says global warming 90% but here's the deal mails That guy is off his rocker. Yeah, he's an idiot see crap. That's terrible

2:15:28 Yeah, well there is a war on men you know in case you hadn't noticed. I got you on it. Well yeah Back to Turkey not just save this let me save that what else could we there's a couple other things We need to talk about since we're talking about the global warming thing i got my good like climate clip of the day To the gate This is, this is the... Yeah? My global cooling report! Free Christmas Global Cooling Report. This is the end of the world ladies and gentlemen. Global cooling a new ice age is coming. All right Kristen Welker thanks and from Palm Beach where you are we move to the frigid north. An arctic chill that has a good part of the country caught in its grip temperatures well below normal for this time of year as we get set for the start of winter here's NBC's Blake McCoy

2:16:21 The windy city covered in ice today. A seven-day polar plunge bringing its coldest air yet, 13 below. You say the key to working outside of this is keep moving? Keep moving and helping everybody. And an hour's all day long. Commuters braving the elements also as transit officials used fire to warm up the tracks and keep trains running Much of the nation's midsection seeing temperatures 20 to 30 degrees below normal. Little Rock, Arkansas hit a new record low outside St Louis today school buses wouldn't start class canceled in Denver hometown airline Frontier still struggling after snow crippled operations this weekend since the Arctic blast began 22 weather related deaths have been reported across 10 states the majority of those killed on icy roads

2:17:11 Hello 1974 yep, we're back to global cooling. I just received a Let me see if this is a video of the attack in Berlin there is oh it's a car cam so there's one apparently yes I said no I did see a car cam thing that's the one so you saw the same one Oh gee yeah? Oh man okay everyone running Hmm, okay. I'll put it in the show notes people take a look at its and it's not it's now we're talking about but I don't have any Climate gate stuff now. I do See we had This all Russian news oh man well yeah, I got a little local story this perks me I wrote about this in PC magazine This is the uber

2:18:14 Issues going on here where Uber's told the state of California to shut it when it comes to getting a permit that tests our little driverless cars. Ah yes In California, officials have ordered Uber to take its self-driving cars off the road and Carter Evans is following this In just seven years, Uber has become a nearly $70 billion ride-hailing behemoth despite or perhaps because of its reputation for ignoring local regulations. But when Uber put self-driving cars on the streets of San Francisco last week and a motorist caught one of those cars running a red light, California's DMV drew the line ordering Uber to get an autonomous vehicle testing permit. Uber said no Our main reason for not applying is that we don't think that the regulations apply to how we're driving in the cars

2:19:09 Uber claims all of its self-driving cars in this testing phase have a safety driver behind the wheel, just in case. Uber is remaining defiant here They operate on the theory of break first and ask permission later Jonathan Handel is a law professor at The University of Southern California When you're deploying 3,000 pound pieces of hardware that roll through the jurisdiction and have the potential to cause injury or death That's a different issue. As to why that car ran the red light last week, Uber says it was human error and if the company obtains a permit it will be required to report those incidents Why wouldn't an uber want to report all that? These are bits and pieces of black marks on what has otherwise been a lot of enthusiasm over driverless cars

2:19:55 Uber says it's being unfairly singled out here and compares its self-driving technology to the autopilot feature on Tesla cars. Those do not require permits you wonder how many humans are running red lights Carter Evans for us You coming up next on the phone So there was a couple of things here one besides the fact that it will be guys or dicks. Yeah is They've changed they've changed the narrative in the narrative has changed their phraseology from ride-sharing to ride hailing Oh, yeah, it's a great one It's very it's subtle

2:20:33 It's more than subtle as far as I'm concerned, but it's there. Well it's legally something very different which I like Yes, yes right sharing is not ride-hailing And they got their foot in the door by pushing this ride-sharing nonsense. Oh, it's just ride sharing! The guys go in there anyway and get on board and charge you some money to get on your credit card bill. That would be the original intent. And then this other thing that kind of bothers me again did no research looking into...the thing runs a red light How is that human error? The guy's not driving the car, he's sitting there letting the car do its own thing. Human error would mean that he didn't step on... He didn't notice if the car was gonna run a red light and stomp on the pedal. How is that human error? That's not human error!

2:21:24 Human error, they're claiming this is human error. I started thinking about this in the red light thing that light that the guy caught was over to the left it was a funny placement and I realized when I drive I drive all over the country. When I travel, I always rent a car and never use anything. I just rent the car. I don't even take it limo if somebody offers it to me. A limo? Oh come on! I see you in one of those extended Hummer limos arriving at your speaking engagement. Yeah that would be the day. Hey girls... I don't, hi girls. I don't like driving around in these limos when I'm in a... especially when I was someplace where you're like Louisville. Well limos is 1980 man and you do not want to drive in the limo yeah suburban or an escalade that's what... Okay well I don't want a car service. I gotcha! I am just saying Yeah I just used the word limo sorry. Yeah your right nowadays you get a big giant escalate which is cool because it's you know I've gotten into bulletproof ones are neat

2:22:19 But I try to avoid that. And I try to rent a car because I like to stop once in while driving along, and see a barbecue place, I'll stop. It's the barbecue stuff like that. But I noticed when I'm driving outside of California where things are placed where expect them to be occasionally in some towns and cities, I can't see where the red light green light is. I look at it, look And I, you know it's up on some of them they have strung. You know there was like a bunch of wires from the four corners and the things hanging in the middle like wiggling around just hanging there? I've seen that. I've seen where their position where I don't really ever look there. There are...I struggle in some parts of the country finding whether putting these red lights and I think these cars probably must have the same problem

2:23:08 Yeah, and I think that's why that guy ran the red light because I saw this intersection when they showed the video And the red light was over on the far left. No. I don't know if there's anything on the right What happens if one lights burned out congratulations? You've discovered the secret of how they do it Yeah when we get to self-driving cars every single road will have to be specifically painted with the stripes cuz that's how it knows to keep in the lane and Yeah, this is a pipe dream. It's a pipe dream and we're never really going to see this on scale no way not in our lifetime but I think it's gonna be more problematic than they imagine it's not gonna happen in 2017 or 2018 or the main year 2021 I've seen that again crop up yeah nah it's not gonna happen I know now I'm telling you well we had this we have a long-standing bet don't wait I can't remember what it was but

2:24:01 My bet is it's gonna happen and your bets it's not gonna happen. There you go, but I'm very concerned about this placement of these stoplights Yeah that'll have to be changed It's back right around the corner from me there is a stop sign That I know is there but I looked at can see on the painted on the ground But just up sign itself is is grayed out by a large tree that has a branch right in front of the sign I just had an idea see the sign I just had an idea for a product before San Francisco specifically. All you need to do is get an old clunker of a car and you saw a hole in the bottom, and you get on the trolley tracks and drop your thing down catch the rope and you're good to go." This has nothing to do with what we're talking about! No! But this comes... In other words I'm boring you so much that you've dreamed up some invention in the process of trying to listen to my tales

2:25:03 Well, by the way I think that's a great idea. Why not? Has anyone ever done that it seems like a perfect thing to do. I would do it! It is a great idea you need a big lever that goes out of your... I know you gotta squeeze so you can pick up the line and cable Yeah you have to squeeze yeah it has to grip the line And I'm not sure if you can just pull it out of that thing That's what she said. Now, I have to play for you two clips one is an oldie but a goody one that we have not played in awhile on the NOAA Gender Show it was from Vivian Schiller previously the CEO of NPR and she was asked a question about their business model about their finances to which he answered the following okay move it onto money how are NPR's corporate underwriting revenues holding up in the recession? And what about foundation grants

2:25:54 Two different stories. Underwriting is down, it's down for everybody I mean this is the area that is most down for us is in sponsorship underwriting advertising call it whatever you want Exactly. Because it is just advertising and I'd like to remind people from time to time that the same people who sell ads on your local top 40 radio station also sell ads on NPR now there are some restrictions but i gotta tell you, I think they're pretty loose with the restrictions Oh, I've been wanting to do like a special little

2:26:31 bunch of clips on this because I hear them constantly, especially on NPR where they do call to action as far as I'm concerned. Yeah and they tell you go to a website and they tell you that they're the best in the business whatever... So I think it's borderline for sure and it's okay but in our Prestitute podcast series This is a podcast from the Wall Street Journal. I think it's called Media Mix, where they talk about media so it was really fun to listen to. They had the new CEO of NPR on my old boss Jarl Mohn

2:27:15 Yarl, who of course used to be known on WMMR as Lee Masters. Everybody's Lee Masters! And then he worked at MTV as Lee Masters I will say that he turned the movie channel into E!, that was entirely his idea. TalkSoup also entirely his idea And so now he's the CEO of NPR. Oh yeah, I was going to tell you something... Do you remember the radio show I was at in New York where he also spoke? So I got a tweet and if you retweeted it someone said hey where is the podcast they were gonna release it in November

2:27:53 Oh, I remember. Yeah and i look and say it's not November its December so I go looking I can't find it I shoot off an email to my buddy Steve which works Steve leads And he because I couldn't remember the guys name was Edward He loops him back in now he says well yeah we were busy We were busy and there is also a new rule that everything we publish in a podcast has to be transcribed. So they have to have a transcription, that is now apparently done and it may be up by next week. I doubt it because it's Christmas and New Year's but as soon as that's done then I'll make sure I tweet it out." But it was like wow! Do these people not get it? That's the new house school you know this supposed to be the top... oh yes this is where you learn all about broadcasting

2:28:39 Well, part of the thing about broadcasting is you need to actually broadcast it. I can't believe that they messed that up anyway so Jarl is on the media mix and the topic comes up about their business model about their funding now Lee Masters very very smart guy very slick You're not going to catch him easily but he does slip in something here that I think is interesting for the future of their model. Now this was actually about podcasts and how they're going to use podcasts, and he's kind of... And you know because they're going all in 2017 big podcasting year. And i'm thinking where's my phone call? You know seriously

2:29:24 I mean, wouldn't you like at least want to pick my brain? No. Okay. I guess not fine. This is a very we talked about this before we talked about this the dinner table recently citing some other example where and I will tell the story again as if I don't want to overdo these stories today but I'm at tech TV And cable station, it became actually was originally ZDTV. I think this happened during that era. They got Leo Laporte they've got and then they bring in Chris Pirillo now at the time they did this which was in the late 90's

2:30:00 Both of those guys, especially Chris. But both those guys were early on bloggers who knew the ropes completely. Leo was blogging way before anybody else and Chris was blogging for money way before anybody else. They were extremely adept they knew everything they knew what software to use how to use it and they know everything about blogging so ZDTV said we're gonna start a blog because it's a good thing to do as corporate things. So they start this blog, he's going and going. A couple of years into it I go and ask both Chris and Lee, these guys have a blog on here which I looked at piece of crap. Did these guys ever talk to either one of you who are the two blogging experts

2:30:45 about how to do a blog right, what you should expect. How it should be done correctly? What kind of...how do you set it up so that works and all that?" No! Never talk down. So you hire these two guys who are known experts and you don't even talk to them ever?! Very common. You know, and like I wouldn't even charge him. I do it because I like him No no they wouldn't either the way always works I always felt this way when we had a publisher PC magazine once at Bill Losey He would always exploit many of the writers about certain Ideas in marketing and other things to see if what we thought of it maybe help you know make it better And then that slowly disappeared so we never get

2:31:27 We're just like guys writing there. And I've always wondered why they never asked me to give a seminar on column writing or how to do stuff that's compelling, that people want to read because I've only been doing it for 30 years now? Never know. Well, I do find it's funny though that we're grousing about the guys who have a one page square space site and nothing integrates with anything else so well that doesn't mean we don't know what we're doing. We just not back. We're not just not doing it No, I totally disagree with you. That's why i've never bitched about that Squarespace site it does the job! I know It does a beautiful job. It still links to the no agenda stickers Chinese porn site. I mean it does a great job Besides that needs to be changed

2:32:14 We're a little we were a little lax. Yeah, just the tad all right beside the point all right here is now listen carefully Listen carefully as he talks about his business model We actually think we've got a fabulous business model historically NPR perhaps has not one up perhaps hasn't optimized it as well as they should have and that's one of things I hope you know this current man by the way Do you hear the crappy sound on that show? There's a hum in the background. I hear like machine running, and you're all kind...I mean seriously people. Is this a podcast? Yeah! Okay. Get it together because I hope you know this current management team we have is going to be able to do but we have three sources of revenue We have our corporate sponsorship or underwriting that's one lot of journalistic organizations have that so and those are the big powerhouses in the pillars

2:33:06 of public broadcasting. So, theoretically yes, they don't have to buy that. They can say, yeah we just want to buy... wait wait, don't tell me! I can't imagine anybody doing that but they could so it is a la carte to that extent what typically happens so well. is the big corporate stuff, brought to you by Archer Daniel Midler. Well people don't always realize not a toss away it's not all the government is very small. I agree and we probably...I'm glad that we're talking about it so people out there listen to our show and contribute they have this sense of reality about what's really going on out there that's why they can get the kind of stories we talk about To that extent what typically happens though is they'll buy the news magazines

2:33:50 Pretty much everything else is a la carte. So talk about how your business has changed you mentioned underwriting It seems like that You can call it a lot of different things sort of in the modern media space like things like, you know The modern media space excuse me John Are you in the modern media space? I try to be there all the time sometimes. I'm sleeping Let's meet there tonight in the modern media space Media Space like things like, you know brought to buyers have sponsored content Or is that as an area of your business that you are trying to grow this sort of branded content Sponsored content like a lot of media companies are these days we don't do that We don't do that we

2:34:35 We are very careful. We think a lot of our colleagues do it, but we think... Back to the question you asked Jack about credibility We think that might put our brand at risk. I am not a fan of that. There are some people who have done it and done it remarkably well, we may someday...I think it's going to be awhile." Lewis & Niungvers You think that sort of blurs the lines for listeners and readers? Barker I think it does! And particularly ours, we have really unique brands of listener and consumer, and they're very careful. Boy! Did you hear that? We have a very unique brand of listener and consumer. And they listen very carefully, and they don't want us to get even the slightest tinge of being affected by who our corporate sponsors are or who our institutional foundations are that support us.

2:35:36 They're always our audience questions everything and so we don't want to give them any reason to be more concerned than they might already be Interesting he never mentioned the donors who give money for a tote bag or a coffee mug I noticed that he doesn't mention doors. He also never uses the words native advertising which is what they were talking about And you said we may in the future yes, he did he said we may in the future We may in the future He's going to have to. That's where it has to go and the podcasts that they do, they all have ads every single one of them now if I were a to consult Lee Masters, Yarl Mohn, I would say you know you need to start not with the money but with the programming that's where people want to get involved People want and actually in an odd way money is a way to speak

2:36:36 and be a part of the programming, witness our donation segments. Right? Yeah! People make their own jingles they get stuff played but outside of that people contribute in so many different ways and to them they're just listeners and consumers and really that's bullcrap because they're really branded tokens of units yeah this is our we know our audience very smart very well highly educated very smart you want to advertise I mean uh... You want to underwrite to them Yeah, it's kind of a pathetic old-fashioned way of looking at everything. I don't see any modern thinking there all except the idea Of doing a podcast which is an extension of a radio show like there was somebody pointed to decide There was a tweet going around it. I think was the Guardian had its annual 50 best podcasts. Yeah We're never in there no course not that we're the best podcast in the universe and we're not in

2:37:32 No, we're not in it and I think a lot of this has to do with somebody they listen to all these guys are nuts. And you know this list is important thing that we only support you know there actually condemning our podcast condemns the Guardian so why would they put us on anybody's list but this isn't typical corrupt system its kind of echo chamber of corruption in every which way, but the PBS thing is not going anywhere. That's for sure unless they get on board with the native advertising which is now taking over the place and nobody seems to care! And that's what everyone wants to buy and listen I'm telling you we heard earlier about video advertising advertisers are gonna stop doing it immediately those stories have effect man big time

2:38:14 right away calls, phones are ringing. Hey you know how can we prove this? What do we what do we have dirty traffic is what it's called yeah dirty traffic which is again nothing that we even concern ourselves about so anyway please keep your eyes open everyone you are seeing the demise of a great institution the demise because as much as I like Jarl This is not the vision. I think he's marred by politics internally, it's probably a huge political place and the board must be just gnarly bunch of just aholers. Yeah, just uh, you know elitist cocks

2:38:54 We don't need a time code. No, we don't need the time code for that. They're like roosters. So and so while you're watching that be very proud that you are part of the real new media space.

2:55:00 So I don't even, I could be wrong and maybe somebody else but he wrote and I said you've fallen into the vortex. And so I was trying to figure out what his name was again because unless you if you miss night put in the subject line of an email is put missed knighthood or something like that. So here's what's not helpful. So I suppose this and then dot dot dot Yeah, people do that shit. So he can't look you up? Exactly and in fact I tried to look him up today To make sure that we got on the list And i could find him and I thought I sent him a note about the vortex and they couldn't find That I don't know what the deal is.

I had no idea that was on the bike. I did my spin class on Wednesday? I don't know is it's I don't have it That was the most peculiar thing I've ever heard.

That's all I have no voice and might as well just shrivel up Yeah yeah you could Oh and we have some title changes i want to do these can't forget those We have let me see here Don't gather around douchebags Produce land slaves

2:59:16 That's right, the titles they are changing. Sir Simon Reed... Baron Reed claims the territory of the Midlands in England in abstentia and Sir Scott, Baron of The Bikes let me see what he says you had a note here yes sir Scott Barron of The Bikes and he'd like to defer on a protectorate to defer on a protector because Northern Virginia is full of spooks and hillbots, and he doesn't want to do anything with them. So I guess see... He doesn't have a protector yet. He can always get one later but he doesn't want to do it in Spookville so understood. Hello? Spooks and Hill-Botts! Spooks and Hill-Botts All right let me roll out a couple things Let's go to now this was interesting we're gonna have it We are going way over but we're gonna keep the second half little short here

3:00:16 Geert Wilders, of course we know him politician in the Netherlands. He's been in parliament for what? Five years now? Yeah not quite yet Quite a while, quite awhile. His popularity of his party has grown immensely he has been very clear. He is kind of following the footsteps of Pim Fortuyn saying that the problem is Islam We just don't want you can live here if you want but Chill out on Islam and now they're saying stop immigration from Islamic countries. I do want to point out the Netherlands is one of the, after Japan, I think one of the most densely populated countries on earth. You know there's like a square meter for every person

3:00:58 When I grew up there, it was 14 million people. It stayed around 14 million people when the multicultural society integration started. The Netherlands is not an immigration country traditionally not an immigration country but now they just pretend like they are Now its 17 million that's quite a jump And that, and you can understand the three extra million. But the size of Rhode Island? Yeah there... Oh! That's the Netherlands is exactly it's the size of Rhode Islands. You're right. That's example we always give actually to Americans So some guy goes and he's traveling around and then it was like oh when we discovered the quaint little country of The Netherlands and there they have this crazy guy Gert Wilders now listen to them because now Dutch people are listening to this show

3:01:46 This is always fun because it's going to come across to anyone who doesn't know the background of the country or of the politician as, oh sounds perfectly reasonable. Sounds like a true story." It is completely wrong from beginning to end just so you know it's all fake news Starting now to our pop lead, he might have the coolest gig on TV. My friend and colleague Bill Weir travels the world to disappearing places and taking a deeper dive into untold stories in a new episode of The Wanderlust right here on CNN Bill goes to Holland generally known for its liberal progressive tolerant views but Now comes along a man who's being called the Dutch Donald Trump. Maybe that's not fair, maybe it is? He's trying to catch a wave that many other populations in the US and Europe have ridden to victory Let's bring in Bill Weir, host of The Wonder List Removing Donald Trump from this at all Tell us about Geert Vilders, this politician in the Netherlands Why is he getting his reputation

3:02:40 Well, he is completely anti-Islam. Not the people, not Muslims in particular he says but he thinks Islam is a religion of death it's corrosive and he is trying to limit immigration in this famously open minded society you know that Dutch created that country out of mud and water and they are famously That's how land reclamation works Yeah, a little mud there and water. We can make a country! Let's do it!" Right on! Let's do that! You know they were the center of trade invented the stock market you know at one point it was the center of the universe but okay you can put it that way if you want and then inferring these people are open everything is good inferring that they're open to have people come in but no it's not an immigration country traditionally. Collegial...they work together but its neighbor against neighbor as this gentleman

3:03:34 rises in the polls. He is now a favorite to become the prime minister and it's so, I really can't take Trump out of it Jake because I happen to be there while that was his rise was happening here and it was such an interesting parallel you had journalists and academics in Amsterdam shaking their heads they can't believe his popularity but the guys we hired to drive us around blue-collar good guys They're voting for Geert Wilders. And this is a part of the trend that's happening— You mean like non-elitist people, like you? Is that what you're saying? Like normal guys? Blue collar guys? —happening across Europe where these populist sort of anti-immigration candidates are on the rise and more and more young people actually in polls are saying living in a democracy

3:04:21 is not as essential as many thought in the past. It's fascinating to say nothing of Geertz' hair, of course. Yeah, so now... What do you say about young people living in a democracy? No they don't care. That's what that says out there. They think that these are nationalist authoritarians and young people would rather have them than living in a democracy. That's the conclusion of the brilliant CNN. So that would be just to carry everything over to Trump by association. Yeah. So Trump represents that and also Trump represents anti-Muslim.

3:04:56 Of course, of course. Because that's a direct association they drew this is Jake Tapper on CNN that we're listening to. Yep yep yep it's unbelievable it's just unbelievable I have oh yes the unofficial response from Turkey that came in what was this? I got this thing maybe...it might have been RT I'm not sure no Let me see, let me see what this was. It was about after the assassination to assassination. For the Turkish government's perspective, the officials are already trying to present this as there have been some in fact one of the advisors for the president saying that this might be a false flag operation trying to implicate the United States perhaps but it certainly however this plays out there is no doubt that this is going to have huge effect I think it was BBC someone recorded off of TV for me

3:05:48 So they said it was false flag by the US. How about that? Yeah, that's a good one I like that could be yeah totally could be totally All right, here's a good one. This is the top priorities this was during one of the talking head shows and it was a big discussion about he was on Ed Schultz And you had some guy on who is the next State Department guy? And they're talking about the top priorities of the Pentagon and with all this talk about Russia They were expecting it to be on there somewhere but I guess not No idea what clip it is. Oh that's bad

3:06:27 Okay, the clip is called Pentagon top four priority. I'm sorry yes gotcha here We go makers on Capitol Hill have expressed big concerns about Rex Tillerson as a secretary of state over his business ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin Now a leaked document from the Pentagon is adding to their concern on Capitol Hill though for top defense priorities if the president-elect do not include Russia This is a shift from military officials who see Russia as the country's number one threat. This is a clear sign The Trump administration is ready for a restart with the Kremlin for more on that Let's turn to JD Gordon. He's a former Pentagon spokesperson JT good to have you with us tonight Thanks so much let me just point out that no country is named as a priority in this

3:07:14 defense priority the top four. Number one of course is ISIS, developing a strategy in defeating ISIS. Number two is eliminate budget caps because they want to spend more money on military projects. Cyber strategy is number three and before as the wasteful spending and making greater efficiencies come out of the Pentagon." Well that's never gonna happen. Yeah... The list seems reasonable! Where's Russia? Yeah, I think they're playing that up so yeah McCain and Graham come on. It's always the same the same to Stand why Graham gets any attention at all guys still lives at home with his mother? Well there um I don't want to hate on him for that but I mean it is age. I don't know I don't want to hate on him at all But he said he's doing causing trouble okay. I got a balance. I gotta balance you out man No, I gotta balance you out. That was way too serious

3:08:11 Here we go, second half of show. Whoopi Goldberg Don't you want a little view action? You just can't resist I can't, i cant resist There are people when you speak that clamor for you to run for president and there's a reason for that Yes but here is the difference When I speak at least you know that I've actually looked stuff up So I'm mistaken I might be more aware. They also know that i've had a wide variety of lives and so they think maybe I know some stuff but when you have someone who doesn't seem to do the homework, who doesn't seem to have any idea how things actually run... You're talking about Trump not Kirsten. Well I'm talking about both of them because I don't-I can only tell you what I've seen and

3:09:09 When you bring up Hillary, I think to myself she may not have been the best candidate for people but i know she knew what she was doing. No, no you haven't done that. If she knew what she was doing though She would have known that those documents that were labeled confidential-she was briefed on them! Let me explain something to you I know you can hack it You can keep bringing out and you can bring those emails up as much as you want She wasn't hacked everybody else was That's all Can you see? See that juice?! Get out of my vagina!

3:09:50 I'm going to leave that show on the air. It's embarrassing, it is just you're right it is completely embarrassing. You want to hear something else? Loretta Lynch our Attorney General Oh, okay. I haven't heard this yet. So she did...I think she also had to testify. I haven't seen it yet but she did an interview about her meeting on the plane with Bill Clinton and how that may have...I don't think she actually says how it affected you. That's what caused the election right there! Thank you very much My view is and always has been that when you are in public life or even a private life and you make a mistake, you own it

3:10:28 and you talk about it right away, you let people know what you're going to do deal with the impact of that mistake. And my concern was what impact was that gonna have on people's views at the Department of Justice and the work we were doing? So in retrospect I'm sorry, Mr. President it'd be inappropriate for us to talk you wish you said that well i do regret sitting down and having a conversation with him because he did give people concern and my greatest as I said my greatest concern has always been making sure that people understand that the Department of Justice works in a way its independent and looks at everybody equally yeah well didn't do a good job there did ya? And when you do something that gives people reason to think differently thats a problem was a problem for me was painful for me

3:11:12 John, it was painful! I'm sure she was taking a lot of aspirin. To think differently? That's a problem. It was a problem for me. It was painful for me and so i felt it was important to clarify as quickly and clearly and cleanly possible that is very interesting what she says at the end there As quickly, as clearly and as cleanly as possible? And so I felt it was important to clarify it. Uh...As quickly and as clearly and as cleanly as possible Why is the real story dirty? I guess That's like a lawyer talk We gotta explain this clean man It has got to be clean Got to have a clean explanation Meanwhile she didn't really explain anything

3:11:53 No. I never said anything. But it pains her! She's in pain. She's the reason Hillary lost, I don't think she should be. I think she is definitely a part of it yeah. So stupid... so stupid So democracy now is really never warmed up to Hillary, you know? Never likes Trump and they're now kind of very slowly getting more mean. And this I thought was a good clip. This I had for the last show, didn't use it. This is the democracy now slamming... And I mean slamming, slamming... Buttslam! Flynn Oh boy, let's hear Flynn. Let me guess. Racist Islamophobic

3:12:39 homophobic. It's a general crumbum. Newly released documents have revealed retired Army General Michael Flynn, whom Trump has chosen as national security advisor shared classified military information without authorization while he was the US Military Intelligence Chief in Afghanistan. A secret 2010 military investigation concluded appropriately shared classified information with British and Australian officials, including secret information about the CIA. General Flynn was not disciplined for the intelligence breach and it is not known the extent of the information shared because the investigation itself remains classified.

3:13:21 No, it's all true. It was just like a kind of us it was a smear that yeah, just the smear well They had there wasn't anything bad Billy look what happened to portray his fortune star general Yeah, we're just like letting you know his girlfriend take one look at his email then boom he rousted they didn't do anything I mean they got rid of Flynn event I always thought there's a lot more to that story because you have the me out so the biographer You know she's a little odd I think even Mad Dog Mattis, I think she stalked him too. It was a story at least about it. I don't know if it's true. Yeah there's also this couple other guys well there's that. And then you have the socialites in Florida and you know they're saying that the biographer was stalking them and stalking other generals and it turned out whether it was recently I think even mad dog Mattis I think she stalked him to it was a story at least about it. I don't know if it's true yeah there since you got also those couple of other guys well

3:14:20 Yeah, the whole thing was...I agree. The whole thing was slightly fishy. Hey something is happening in Ukraine that we haven't talked about and it's kind of an obscure report here this is from... I think it is from, one of our producers sent this to me. It's a local report but it's probably propaganda but let's listen. Ukraine's biggest bank Private Bank was taken under state control in order to avoid potential financial meltdown. Private Bank the country's largest commercial bank controls more than 1 third of private deposits reportedly amounting to 6 billion US dollars

3:14:58 The government pledged to fully protect depositors and said the takeover, proposed by the central bank and approved by the nation's National Security Council was needed to preserve stability of the country's financial system. And Fifi Lagarde fresh from her conviction where she gets no punishment? Because you know financial crimes... You don't get convicted! You screw over the entire world with the interest rate. As a banker, your bank pays a fine and you carry on. You don't get convicted. Fifi? IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde also welcomed the nationalization of private bank calling it an important step in the government's efforts to safeguard financial stability and ensure the banks smooth operations. Attention, attention Ukraine! You are about to get butt slammed

3:15:52 This is not good. No, well I think the overall idea was always to put them into the economic hitman's sphere. Here it is! It's going now...it's lit they're on there on. I really appreciate our producers doing stuff like that. I don't know what Russia can do about this nothing. They would probably...the last thing they want is IMF running the whole show more than they already are Yeah, you don't want that. You know? No! I have the... There's other stuff we can play on Sunday. Maybe I kept saying Thursday but the next show is... Thursday. So no it'll be next Thursday when we actually play new stuff But do have a... It's from The Washington Free Beacon and its pretty funny Its a compilation of all the people who said Trump would never become president Yeah We've played it before We played on this show

3:16:48 Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah I had a copy of it It wasn't as long as I'd like. It didn't include everybody, there was a bunch of people that said stuff and it wasn't on there. I was very disappointed by this clip as a matter- This is three minutes? I think this is different one John, this is three minutes! Okay are you gonna finish the show with it? Well why don't I play now and then if it blows then we'll play That Clip Sucked and then You Can Play A Better One how's that? We don't use That Clip Sucked. No I don't have The Better One, I'm saying we played this before like after the election No, I could be wrong. I think it's a new version let's listen. There is not going to be a President Donald Trump That's not gonna happen Donald Trump will NOT become president!

3:17:37 He's not going to be president. Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States Take it to the bank, I guarantee you. Alright, alright If he becomes a president here make it great because The States are already great I think that man will be President of The United State right about the time that spaceships come down filled with dinosaurs and red capes And then of course there's Donald Trump Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke. Remember that at the correspondence dinner? Yeah! I remember all these clips from when we played this before and so far there's nothing new You want me to stop it's worthless No i want you keep going because I know the other one was not three minutes Okay That State of The Union address in no part of your mind or brain can you imagine Donald Trump standing up one day and delivering a state of union address

3:18:36 Well, I can imagine it in a Saturday night skit. I continue to believe Mr Trump will not be president He will never be President of the United States And we better be ready for the fact that he might be leaving Republican ticket next year I know you don't believe that but i want to go on Okay here we are and which republican candidate has the best chance at winning the general election? Of the declared ones right now Donald Trump And so, right now Mr. Trump to answer your call for political honesty I just want to say you're not going to be president alright? It's been fun! It's been great! I love you! But come on buddy all let's say cow poo-poo aside

3:19:35 There is zero chance we'll be seeing you being sworn in on the Capitol steps with your hand on a giant golden Bible. Donald Trump is here today, gone tomorrow candidate for president of the United States. Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States. I've been respectful that people have not voted He's not going to be president of the United States. We talk about him every day and we're continuously bashing him... He is not going to be the President, don't worry about it! Exactly! President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States! Exclamation point at real Donald Trump At real Donald Trump? At least I will go down as a president. I think that was different No It was exactly the same

3:20:33 And I don't believe that was three minutes. Yeah, 256? No it's exactly the same with exact same ending there was a bunch of them in did i know there's a bunch of people that made these assertions that weren't in that clip thing and i'm still like to see one better than that could go on for five minutes i'm sure of it hmm yeah no we played that okay we played it all right Thanks Obama. Sorry, yeah, thanks so much his fault I might as well put something in since you made us listen to that again Are you gonna hold this over me now? Yes, and I'm gonna make up for it by blasting Texas Okay, but then no after-show blasting okay

3:21:16 No blasting, this is a blasting Texas. Now I think to me it's on CBS and I'm starting to listen to CBS more and then I'm gonna switch completely away from NBC and then I'm gonna do CBS and I don't know...I think I'll do China maybe one of the China news outlets. Oh good! So again only list this you know I can't do the three by three because it just too much redundancy so This is a good I believe this is a gratuitous story like we played earlier in the show where that comes around and it turns out to be A bullcrap story obviously just played for some reason of brainwashing because they say at the end Kind of indicates that this is a bullshit story. You'll see

3:21:53 Charlie Daggett in the German capital for us tonight. Charlie, thanks The state of Texas has informed Planned Parenthood that it will cut off all Medicaid funds about four million dollars that serve about 11,000 low-income women each year No Medicaid money is used for abortions in Texas. This funding cut would eliminate things like birth control and screening for sexually transmitted diseases Six other states have eliminated Medicaid for Planned Parenthood, but in every case they've been overruled by the courts Yeah we really do suck here

3:22:30 So they're gonna overrule this by the courts too is what he implies. It's a non-story, but I just found it to be the ridiculous part of it and you're right Texas has got these issues. So if you listen that story carefully so what do you want because one other things are going eliminate no more Medicaid Medicare whatever testing for STDs So let's just let a bunch of kind of itchy and scratchy, you know drooling people with venereal disease roaming around Texas. So Texas will be the state of venereal disease. We could put it on our license plate. Yeah! Clap for the State of Texas. I shook that one out didn't i? Well structured too
