About this episode

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer launched a blistering offensive against the media following the inauguration of Donald Trump, specifically targeting The New York Times and Time Magazine for reporting on crowd sizes and the alleged removal of a Martin Luther King Jr. bust. The administration’s aggressive stance at the podium signaled a shift toward active press-shaming, while the President’s visit to CIA headquarters at Langley drew sharp rebukes from pundits like Gloria Borger who labeled the appearance a desecration of hallowed ground.

In Washington, the Women’s March drew massive crowds and sparked controversy as Madonna spoke of blowing up the White House and Ashley Judd performed the Nasty Woman poem. Financial ties between billionaire George Soros and over 50 march partners surfaced via reports from Asra Nomani, while pro-life feminist groups were stripped of their partnership status. Meanwhile, in Koblenz, Marine Le Pen and European populist leaders gathered to challenge the globalist status quo, and the World Economic Forum in Davos faced ridicule for hosting a refugee simulation for the billionaire elite.

From the high-wind warnings at Bergstrom Airport to the seasonal cedar fever gripping Austin, the local atmosphere mirrors the national turbulence. Keith Olbermann has officially rebranded his opposition as The Resistance, a move that puts him in direct branding competition with Alex Jones. Between the digital latency of modern cable boxes and the European Parliament’s draft report on the legal personhood of robots, the intersection of technology and control remains a primary concern.

Austin Weather, High Winds at Bergstrom Airport

High winds reaching 110 knots were recorded at Bergstrom Airport in Austin, Texas. The hazardous conditions caused physical instability for pedestrians and raised concerns regarding fire risks due to warm winds and potential sparks.

Cedar Fever, Seasonal Allergies in Austin

Residents of Austin, Texas, are experiencing severe "cedar fever" symptoms due to local cedar trees. The persistent nasal congestion and respiratory issues have affected long-term residents for several months throughout 2016 and into early 2017.

CHAPTER 03 / 48 Discussion

Keith Olbermann, Co-opting the Resistance Label

Keith Olbermann has adopted "The Resistance" as a branding slogan for his opposition to Donald Trump. This move is viewed as co-opting a term long used by Alex Jones and InfoWars, leading to comparisons between modern protesters and the French Resistance.

keith olbermann· the resistance· donald trump· info wars· alex jones

02:57 This is really being used. Keith Olbermann is the resistance now. Keith Olbermann now has said, this is the resistance. He's kind of co-opted it. Let's resist! But I've seen people say protesting Trump is kind of like the French Resistance against the Nazis which Way over the top as a comparison, but you watch for this word resistance all in the resistance. Okay? That's the clip. You know that Alex Jones is shown ends with you are the resistance right yeah absolutely It's been making sound like no did you not hear what I said has been co-opted I said it very clearly Not in that little clip yes, I did

03:38 You said co-opted? I think so, yeah. Yeah the key word is the resistance This is really being used Oh Keith Olbermann is the resistance now. Well Keith Olbermann now has said this is the resistance like he's kind of co-opting Let's resist! But... Oh Keith is going to go Okay, okay Yeah you're right actually I just thought it was funny I thought you were like burning your bridges No in fact just to prove that I'm not burning my bridges Here is uh The Resistance Man himself And I gotta set her 1776 will commence again

They actually tossed to that to him live when I was there and he did that bit. I got to tell you so dad asked me a long time ago would you mind coming in on the inauguration? No problem yeah I can come in for a couple hours. I had no idea what the setup was and I think that well if you saw it

CHAPTER 04 / 48 Discussion

InfoWars Studio, Inauguration Broadcast Experience

A host describes their experience guest-hosting a live inauguration broadcast at the InfoWars studios in Austin. The account highlights the professional digital routing setup, the group dynamics between the female hosts, and the "old school" hospitality of the green room.

infowars· alex jones· inauguration· television production· media dynamics

05:10 You know, they're trying to do something interesting over there which is you know to do 14-15 I guess eventually 24 hours of live video. That's not easy to fill And you know and so they have these two girls did a good job of filling in a little bit. Yeah, thank you Can I give you a little that dynamics? I observed I watched this sure I didn't watch there was a moment I didn't watch how to go I want to tell you something up front though going in I was very aware that I would be there with two women the two info wars babes and The last thing I wanted Was for it to be some kind of You know, like flirt fest or anything. I really didn't want to and he was like hey why don't you sit in between us? And no i'm not going to do that! How mainstream media do you want to be? I'll sit over here it's your show but within the first three minutes I knew that oh okay I gotta start

06:01 injecting some stuff because first of all, they'd been there for hours doing this stuff and they really you know it was all like oh You know we fought so hard against Hillary. I'm like okay now Let's talk about some other things and I just brought up all the knowledge into topics I could yes I noticed yet every meme that you could remember Throw this one in there yeah well The way I saw it was the way if you want to see though do the way I witnessed the dynamics And I will say watch the first part of it and then I had some stuff to do, so. Oh wait! I discovered my life was still here and then I wanted to go do something with it And then I turned on the recorder just to record of like an hour plus and then I came back and cut the very end... No actually the whole thing ran out at... I never cut most of it but the part that I caught, I got the part where you start talking about oil pipelines Right, of course Interesting was that what's her name?

06:59 Margaret, whatever. The girl in the green or the girl in the blue? In the blue she lived in Russia for a year and she knew a lot about pipelines that was actually interesting I went okay well that's what made it different interesting to watch the dynamics because first you had the girl in the green who is the I guess was the host and then the girl on the blues the newbie that see you know she seemed a little out of it and she wasn't looking at you under any circumstances and the girl in the green was flirting with you when you were trying be neutral. I recognize that your Tourette's was acting up a little bit." Yeah, but I thought it actually had it pretty much under control for most of the show. Well now you see the problem is I'm just hyper sensitive to...I see it all over the place now when I saw Munchen give his testimony- Oh man! Hopefully our new...I hope so. Can you believe that a colleague of mine is going to be the Secretary of the Treasury?

07:48 But Munchin, man... He's got some good ones though. He's got the thing where he purses his lips. Yeah he's got everything going on and anyways I know exactly what he's feeling! I don't want to do it. I don't want to... I had to did it a whole lot of times, everyone's looking the whole world like, oh no! I did it again! Oh fuck! I know how this goes. It's very- So you're doing a lot of the chin thrusts and a couple these other twists, a couple of thin, a couple of chin thrusts and then a couple those little jerks to the right? Just tell me it's adorable John then I'll feel better Well, all the girls thought so Anyway, The Girl in the Green was uh..I think they misinterpreted some of it for flirting

08:36 I'm sorry. The girl in the green was, she was into you and the girl in the blue is jealous and she wouldn't even look at it. Oh does that really how you watch this stuff? I was giving out information man! I'm watching... I said at the beginning I'm going to give you the sociology of what I witnessed And so that's how I saw the dynamics, because once you get three people it's a group now. They act in group dynamics they don't act like two people just talking to each other. So the girl in blue was all over her she was just hated you, hated you and then came the point of the point where both of you knew something about the pipelines and she was in Russia, and you were kind of fascinated by that. You perked up by her saying this? She perked up that now paying attention to her? And the two of you, she fell in love with you right in front my eyes! Oh man... Okay well great Anyway keep going on this show. You should make sure to do this show more often with those too

09:38 Unless there's a specific topic because if you know after I said, I was five or ten minutes like oh my god. I'm on the InfoWars version of The View. I've got to spice this up We got to talk about some real stuff here we can't just be talking about we won. I don't want to be a part of that I thought you did a good job. Thank you plug the show You gave me a gratuitous plug and you plugged this show couple of times well done and she achieved the girl in the green The host Maca. She was good at putting in the URL, and she did you're very professional? I like that yeah, and it worked out. I think I think we probably picked up by three or four new listeners Yeah, I will say that last time and this if were they big I mean They've got a huge audience

10:24 And it's interesting how many people from Europe will send me emails saying, ah wow I can't believe what I saw on InfoWars. So yeah we definitely... Look! I'm doing this for the show. Yeah that's all I would like to do some other things. I'd like to talk about some other things though, but this was more... This was my okay and the first time I went on with Max, that was pure promotion for the show. This is yeah, I'm local, I'll come over, I can do this for a couple hours. It's fine it was great you should just do it when you can. Yeah but then next time we'll see. And I want know little bit more about what we're doing. But I had good times. The people there and there's I mean I've been in lot of television studios

11:11 They got a professional setup. I mean, it's all modern stuff, all digital routing and tons of people there working it and they're really... Well, I would say they're quiet but they are like, oh so you know our guests there? They take care of you man! They really take care of you. Like old school green room stuff. Yeah old school those days are over for the big networks. You can only get that at Infowars now That's that's telling you something about the modern media. Kind of sad kind of sad oh man I did want to mention one thing before we get into it and then I happened to write it down have been wanting to say this for a while You know what our job consists of mainly is switching around between news programs news networks, you know foreign news network C-SPAN and we would just boom boom boom I would like to say that I remember

CHAPTER 05 / 48 Discussion

Digital Cable Latency, Analog Technology Nostalgia

Modern digital cable boxes suffer from significant latency, taking up to ten seconds to switch between channels like CNN and Fox. This is contrasted with the instantaneous switching of analog television and the superior clarity of analog cellular networks compared to modern digital equivalents.

digital cable· latency· analog· channel switching· technology

12:10 when switching TV channels was instantaneous. We lost that somehow in all this digital crap When I switch from CNN to Fox, which is one channel up it takes 10 seconds for the cable box goes flip-flip-flip-flip oh what it was HD boop then the TV goes black blip blip blip pops in ten seconds for every channel switch How has this progress? I find...I know what you're saying You, uh... I first... Well it's not. No it's not progress! It's lame! Sorry can't even get my act together here. It's lame you know everything has to has to re-sync and has to be just right and it takes forever now it was just a small thing that I finally decided to write down in mention like geez

13:05 Maybe you got up and it took you less time to get up from the couch turn the knob From channel 2-4, and it was there. Yeah well It's a good old analog days yes Yes if you remember the days of the analog cell phones mm-hmm things were crystal clear yeah Yeah The digital ones is I mean this makes almost makes no sense You know what? It's better to call through whatsapp or or Skype on your phone than it is to use the actual cell network Big yes blurry all right, so what you're gonna. Do we're gonna start off some with something um Yeah You know I thought maybe just to ease into it just to get some voices and then hear some opinions Maybe we start off with a few clips from the Bill Maher show the evening of the inauguration Just to give you a little flavor. What are you doing? Where do you walk off mm-hmm?

CHAPTER 06 / 48 Discussion

Jane Fonda, Climate Change and Celebrity Activism

Jane Fonda appeared on Bill Maher's program to argue that celebrities must use their platforms to highlight the "existential crisis" of climate change. She asserted that the global community cannot afford four years of mistakes regarding oil and gas extraction under the new administration.

jane fonda· climate change· bill maher· fossil fuels· activism

14:03 No, you didn't I had to go get something for the show. Sorry But then I was guy moaned because I have a couple Bill Marks that said I thought were the best two mmm Okay, I have well obviously you probably have to do Keith Olbermann's and to Jane Fonda's there's no doubt about it I have no Keith Olbermann's mm-hmm I've decided and I thought I mentioned this to you already that they should be limited on the show Okay Well, I have one Jane Fonda. All right let's play your Jane Fonda clip and we'll see if mine fits into that We'll see how we do okay? I have been a celebrity for yeah, I got this time years And I have and I have been told that I should shut up because I was a celebrity But what celebrities can do is that they can bring attention to things that wouldn't normally get attention you know

14:51 And what you missed I kind of liked when he said, you know aren't celebrities important? You know or does it matter and she's like oh yes. They're very important What do you say to the right-wingers who call us sore losers Because that's the other thing that sticks in my craw we are not sore losers It just so happens that we understand That because of climate change, we don't have time to make mistakes. We are facing an existential crisis this is never it's not you know after he was elected and people said to me well you know will have to put up for this from four years we don't have four years to lose right? We have to fight so that they stop extracting oil and gas from the ground that's what the 99% of the climate scientists say. Uh oh! uh oh! we're going up now ninety-nine

15:43 Yeah, you pretty much encompassed both of my clips. It's fine I thought that this was the stupidest thing i've ever heard well actually her whole thing is about climate change He didn't give a shit about trump getting elected time code sorry yeah Well listen here i'll play my the beginning of my clip i'll tell you one thing though trump should have more respect for pussies because Because if penises could do what he thought they'd be on postage stamps Well, yeah. Yeah it was dumb but no I have a point to make about this we're all out there for equality and we certainly have to talk about the women's march and the way women showed their solidarity and you know was pussy power pussy hats and if i saw you know i must have seen 100 signs that would say

CHAPTER 07 / 48 Discussion

Presidential Influence, Social Style and Profanity

The theory is posited that U.S. Presidents dictate the social style and moral boundaries of the country. While Bill Clinton's era was defined by a shift in sexual discourse, Donald Trump's presidency is seen as opening the door for increased public profanity and a coarser social fabric.

bill clinton· donald trump· social norms· profanity· presidential behavior

16:38 You know, pussy much more powerful than penis because a pussy can take a pounding. I mean it's like what are we doing? Yeah i know is it was just it was borderline disgusting disheartening It's just right. I mean that's been seriously now. I don't understand well Well trump gave us the gave us the uh to open the door and how we can do it all right well Then by the way, by the way I want to mention something here because i'm going To be mentioning this a lot over the next couple of years of this show. Mm-hmm The president controls the social That kind of the social style of the country So when bill clinton said that that uh blow jobs were okay sex Yeah And they were okay all of a sudden the entire country became obsessed and and he still deserves a medal for this

17:25 I'm very happy with him, what he did. And so we have Trump opening the door for this kind of profanity and now it's gone crazy...it just went obvious at this event. But I don't want to get into 21, let's do 20 first. We're doing a little chronological order? No, you're sure if you're gonna be a stickler. Yeah I'm gonna be a stickler. By the way, I should mention to people that don't know much about Tourette's People with Tourette are neat freaks and Munchen has got to be the greatest guy for that job ever! You want a neat freak in office? Right but i'm not really a neat freak. Yeah you are no I'm not. I get a kick out of you saying that all the time

CHAPTER 08 / 48 Discussion

Keith Olbermann, Legitimacy of the Trump Presidency

Keith Olbermann argued on Bill Maher's show that Donald Trump is an illegitimate president due to Russian interference, which he characterizes as a bloodless invasion. He called for a psychological war against the administration, suggesting the use of the Logan Act and constant public harassment.

keith olbermann· donald trump· legitimacy· russian interference· logan act

18:07 I'm not. It doesn't matter, i'm not... All right Bill Maher with Kiefer Olbermann But I think what we should do is start doing what the Tea Party did in 2010 Yes! Fight! Fight at all times interrupt everything every day you scream Russia Every day you scream corruption and your remind everyday who won the electoral vote again so it didn't get a mandate Wait a minute he said Who won the electoral vote? He did not get a mandate. Now, I think what you meant to say is the popular vote but he's such a tool that's Olbermann and then he messes it up. And every day...and your mind everyday who won the electoral vote again? Did not get a mandate so right now when John Lewis said he was not legitimate president assume here on that page i am on that page because he's not a legitimate president

18:59 I would agree with that, but he is the president. It's one of those you have to keep two thoughts in your head at the same time We do have a president we are still Americans He is the American President and I agree he didn't get there quite legitimately But here's the thing, I think we're underselling how the non-legitimately part of this works. Oh not me! We were invaded is what it boils down to just because there was not blood on the streets If if if the Russians had come in with Cossacks and put him in...I think we would have had a different kind of reaction to it that's the reaction we need now What I saw last night was A lot of people hooting and hollering correctly And getting fired up and going we're gonna resist this in every way possible

19:41 You really think it's that serious? Yes, I do think it is that serious. It's the same thing! The point of a war, other than to gain territory is to put the guy you want in charge of somebody else's country. And we're now only debating at this point after the story in The New York Times yesterday how much the Russians decided our election. Yeah okay so he's talking war, he's talking spill blood and we want our guy... He's very violent guy is a guy who's over me a big shot in various broadcasting venues and just now he's a Podcaster that can't really get work. I don't see why he's getting any getting any ink ink because Let alone on our show

20:30 We'll continue to complain about this. Yeah, you complain and I complain about my last clip for you never hear Keith Olbermann again because he just lays it out there what this really is and what has been going on and how the media is complicit in this both of these gentlemen are doing that He's not a legitimate president but if we keep saying that does it do any good? Yes, because it crowds...it begins to...we have this has to be approached psychologically in terms of what's in the public discourse on both sides. Oh no you're fake news and we're real news! No-no WE'RE fake news and YOU'RE real news To dominate this, one of the ways to do it is to as you were talking about before The buttons present themselves. They're almost self-pushing buttons So we have to push the buttons on him personally make this as unpleasant Personally for him since that what is what decides everything he does so every time you see a tweet subtweet em swear words What's sweet? What's sub tweeting sub tweeting? Does mean retweet

21:27 Retweeting is just retweeting. I think what he's referring to is when you do the retweet with a comment or no, I know what he's really referring to. I think from his perspective He's referring to You return the tweet with just an answer of the tweet thing but then you put that dot front of the at sign to get it to tweet out to everybody and I think that is referred to as a means by a subtweet every time you see a tweet sub tweet him swear words swear words really write back Adam and if he doesn't see it somebody who supports him will ruin their day. It's a psychological war, and other part of it is what we know is true which is... We don't know if it was

22:13 treason or espionage or violation of some of the Logan Act language. We don't know which it was The best case scenario is they violated the Logan Act and were busily rewriting foreign policy long before this man was in office. That's the best case scenario, just keep mentioning it every day. Is he nuts? Stealing from the Tea Party. Yes. That's using their weapons taking their hammers out of the conservatives, the Republicans and the Trumpians and hitting them over the head and chasing them to hell with it. We don't seem to have a Trump defender here. You are fake news! This is fake news. Thank you.

CHAPTER 09 / 48 Discussion

Michael Moore, Congressional Contact Campaign

Michael Moore is urging citizens to contact their members of Congress daily as a form of resistance. He provided the congressional switchboard number and encouraged protesters to call regardless of whether they know their specific representative, emphasizing that only a zip code is required.

michael moore· congress· activism· resistance· phone campaign

23:05 The old lesbian, Michael Moore? Exactly. Well the day before he was in New York City at another rally and I got a kick out of the fact that he kept wearing different baseball caps but in New York City he was in front of Trump building with a bunch of other people bitching and moaning And this is what he has to say to stop...to be the resistance Everybody has to commit to doing something every single day now! Every single day. You don't have to quit your job, you don't have to drop out of school it's just something very small that you have to do every day. You have to contact your member of congress or one of your two senators everyday It takes three minutes! Wake up

23:58 brush teeth, make coffee contact Congress. That's the new moon routine! The phone number is 2 0 2 2 2 5 3 1 2 1 you call that number any time of the day or night a human answers it. There's an actual 24-7 switchboard call that number if you don't know who your congressperson is, that's okay! Call in anyway. Just give them your zip code everybody knows their zip code. So I have the ISO?

24:43 Oh yes, I see it. I got it of course Everybody knows their zip code! Hey! Yeah everybody knows their zip code we sure do So he does this and then gets everybody riled up and they all say yeah We're all gonna do it. Yeah Okay you what are you gonna say? Well this is so that is more for the J21 but III think What I'd like to do because they just have a number of short clips Trump did a speech. He did his... Just in the mode of interrupting each other like we've been doing for the past few shows and not being a nice smooth show, I want to stick back to The Bill Maher Show because we were talking about it. Because Bill Maher told one of the most outrageous racist jokes

CHAPTER 10 / 48 Discussion

Bill Maher, Controversial Racial Commentary

Bill Maher faced criticism for a joke comparing the family structures of Donald Trump and Barack Obama. The commentary, which referenced "baby mamas," was characterized by some observers as a disgusting and racist condemnation of the black family.

bill maher· racism· family structure· comedy· controversy

25:30 The audience went berserk over it. They thought it was hilarious and I don't understand how they didn't recognize this as a borderline disgusting racist joke. Oh, I saw the whole show! I'm curious to see what you got Find a theme was once you go black You can go back Mic drop And by the way for all your racists out there If you saw that shot of the new president standing with the outgoing president and their families, the one with kids by three different women was the white one. Yeah which is essentially saying black people have multiple baby mamas yeah it's a condemnation of the black family yeah oh yeah he's in an offhanded way he did it you couched for all your racists and all this other stuff this is a racist joke

26:28 Yeah, it's completely. It should not be allowed and everyone thought was great that the standing O mm-hmm Anyway yeah well I'm glad we both Wasted brain cells watching that drivel but it was kind of funny. It was funny. It was funny which he was yeah? It was a little bit strange all right Do you have any more can I know now your whatever you were going to well them? The reason I bring up the speech is Because this was a very odd be although I'm sure the the mainstream media in general

CHAPTER 11 / 48 Discussion

Rachel Maddow, Critique of Trump's Inaugural Address

Rachel Maddow described Donald Trump's inaugural speech as "workman-like," "militant," and "dark." She focused on his use of the phrase "American carnage" to describe gangs and drugs, noting that such rhetoric is unprecedented for an incoming president.

rachel maddow· inaugural address· american carnage· militant· rhetoric

27:05 You know, they were going to say this anyway. But the way people interpreted that speech was one of two ways and it depends on which universe you're currently in. It's your universe then I agree! Yeah you're cruising in one universe or...I think parallel dimensions is a little bit better than universes? Well the problem with parallel dimensions is that well...it's more realistic Then whole universe I think parallel to the two dimensions in the same Universe a in the same 3d plane is kind of odd. Hmm, but I guess it's possible whatever it is We're witnessing something we don't know what something is going on and Of course the uh the media and that's what have some these clips just give you an idea of how that was You know they're playing into The the universe that they squarely stand in Uh, I mean III heard and I was really blown away II heard

27:56 The line I liked the most was, if your heart is filled with patriotism there's no room for prejudice. Which immediately was touted as the most racist line in the speech and like I'm questioning myself so what? How can...I didn't quite understand like now I'm racist huh okay whoo tough um let's listen to a couple of responses well let's you know right after the speech Which again, it was only 15 or 16 minutes long and I heard a lot of we're going to do it together. I love hearing our country, our country, where our country you know how much I love that? And it was pretty much what I expected because that's what everyone who voted for Trump

28:42 I don't think they, you know... somehow there was this vibe like oh he's gonna be different and presidential. And you know we just stood there and he burned the whole Washington elite sitting behind him that was badass! I'm sorry. The funny thing is they would clap a little bit. Yes we suck but But not Obama. No, oh no no no... Anyway here's Rachel Maddow This was a workman-like speech A workman like speech? What does that mean? That this is blue collar? Is this beneath her? From her perspective it's a form of an insult It means you just did the job Yeah This was a workman like speech He..it was short and went through it quickly And it was militant and dark

29:28 the crime, the gangs, the drugs this American carnage disrepair decay you can't imagine the outgoing president giving a speech like that. No why would the outgoing president say hey I really screwed it up everybody no or i didn't fix it let's buy him we won't blame him but he i didn't fix it i didn't do anything and come on but she's quoting adjectives from, you know one part of the speech which I think is...I mean i've been to Indiana. I've been to Pennsylvania yeah they're factories like tombstones littered across the Midwest that's true! Yeah they're all over the place are all over just besides them in Western and South or in the Northeast but it was mind-blowing for them to deny the central part of what this entire election was about

CHAPTER 12 / 48 Discussion

America First, Historical Echoes and Globalism

Media pundits Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews criticized the "America First" slogan, linking it to the 1940s non-interventionist committee and alleged Nazi sympathies. The discussion explores how this nationalist rhetoric conflicts with the "globalist" view of the U.S. presidency as a world leadership role.

america first· rachel maddow· chris matthews· isolationism· globalism

30:20 I have finally bought mine. This president also repeating the new president, also repeating that our, our, our, our guiding principle first America first how he has used that as a campaign slogan that does also have very dark echoes now and on an okay America First has dark echoes apparently there was the America First committee right after World... no, which was a non-interventionist group set up to stop the United States from entering World War II.

30:57 And obviously they failed. Um, and so I had no idea of the history of the, uh, of this group America first. So she is now calling this um, you know something that has very dark roots as well for two reasons one for this America first use that if you can guess the other way campaign slogan that does also have very dark echoes in American history. It was an America First committee formed in this country hundreds of thousands of people in this country some of the richest businessmen in the country who were part of it. They were formed to keep us out of World War II, they were infiltrated by the Nazis and many of them are anti-Semitic and part of why they weren't alarmed by Hitler's rise in Germany. The America First Committee is something that means a specific thing in this country. To repurpose it now not that far down the historical path

31:47 It's hard. Now this is the first I've heard of the America First community. There are very few people alive that even remember that group and he has been saying America First for a long time but now all of sudden it is very dark, there were Nazis... Somebody dug this up and they decided holy crap we got him! Yeah, and Chris Matthews read the same memo. That's the tricky part. But Mussolini had a great solution to that, he had him executed so it's... So if I were Jared I'd be little careful. All the people who are waiting for the mention of Mussolini have just started drinking. You know Rachel I just saw the warm embrace that W gave to the Supreme Court Justices especially yeah the Republican ones and I realize why he embraced them

32:42 They put him in office. We call them marriage conspiracy spotters. That was gratitude. Time of their lives, they're loving it. The phrase for him was called Bush v Gore But I'm thinking... Here we go, here we go. When he said today America first it was not just the racial, I mean the I shouldn't say racial, the Hitlerian background to it. Hitlerian background John? A Hitlerian background? First you say American first you're a Hitler supporter somehow. This has a Hitlerian background. I like Hitlerian by the way. Is that even a word Hitlerian?

33:23 Yeah, of course it is. I mean the, I shouldn't say racial, the Hitlerian background to it but it was the message I kept thinking what does Theresa May think of this this morning when she picks up the papers and says oh my god what did he just say? He said America first we're having a special relationship yeah What if you're Putin? You're probably pounding the table saying that's what I've been saying Russia first! Russia first! This whole bullying message to him Yeah, oh man. If you're the head of a country don't you put your country first? Why is this such a shock to him?! Well because it's Hitlerian we don't talk... they're globalists! If I'm Theresa May... Hello! Hello Theresa

Koblenz Meeting, European Populist Movement

A major meeting of European populist leaders took place in Koblenz, Germany, featuring figures like Marine Le Pen. The gathering of alternative nationalists was met with significant protests from youth groups advocating for open borders.

34:04 If I'm Theresa May and, and I talk to a guy what's he supposed to be Britain first? Is that where our American president is supposed to be saying to her by Britain first or the world first. Yes the world yes this is...I believe that the parallel universe believes we are um the presidency is the most important job in the world We've heard them say it many many many times It's a world job The world job you're running the world Not to change your thing, but there was a big meeting and this is part of this discussion. This clip is the protest at Koblenz. But in Koblenz there was this big meeting of all the alternative

34:50 Populists from all the different countries. They had this huge meeting. Oh, I didn't know this Yes was a big deal in my pan and all those folks there Yep Yeah, yeah, I don't know if I have a real nurse thing But I didn't I don't think I clipped it but who's gonna play cuz it sounds just like you doing that voice Hey everybody. I've got to tell you that we can make America great again So so there was a protest of the globalist protests, of kids mostly. And outside they're bitching and moaning about these people even being alive. There was this one slogan that was in there and I saw this during the Brexit period too, this particular concept which they keep bringing up

CHAPTER 14 / 48 Discussion

Global Media Reaction, Trump Inauguration Coverage

NBC News and other outlets reported a "world of anxiety" following Donald Trump's inauguration, highlighting celebrations in Moscow contrasted with alarm in Germany and Australia. The coverage linked the political transition to North Korean missile tests and potential trade wars with China.

nbc news· russia· north korea· germany· global protests

35:32 And just play this clip and you know, there's going to read off that signage that people are marching around with. The protesters were shouting slogans such as no borders, no nations, no deportation. Let's find out more about the reaction to those protests my guests now. No borders, no nations? Yeah, that's globalism! That is the new world order right there. No borders, no nations. Everybody one color kind of brownish Yeah, yeah. Beige. Well NBC certainly didn't think the world was enjoying the inauguration of Donald Trump President Trump is being welcomed by Russia certainly the Kremlin isn't sad to see Mr Obama go beyond Russia though a world of anxiety even fear about what he means but in Moscow

36:27 A party. Wow! Trump, Trump... Russian celebrations for Donald Trump a US president welcomed here has never before. Trump, Trump, Trump... So long to you all. They heard him talk of new alliances and believe Trump will mean better relations. Trump's inaugural address though has caused global alarm, America first the headline policy many worry means a trade war Chinese state media saying prepare for the worst Protests against Trump in Germany where leaders are warning of a rough ride ahead

37:11 In Australia this morning, tens of thousands of women marched against Trump. And in the Middle East divided opinions. Meanwhile in North Korea preparations for a new long-range missile test appear to be underway. The global challenges have begun. President Trump... I love it! They show a launch rocket I mean, it's overload. How can anyone parse this properly when it's like, wait a minute! Russia, Moscow, Putin, North Korea we're all gonna die and everyone is afraid? Listen to what happens to young Americans. I think it's a 12 year old girl who was outside the National Press Club in Washington DC, reporters spoke with her. Why are you here and why are you doing this? Well we're here basically at the very start of the weekend of Disrupt J20, the weekend that Trump takes office

CHAPTER 15 / 48 Discussion

Disrupt J20, Protester Interviews at National Press Club

Protesters at the "Disrupt J20" event in Washington D.C. claimed that attendees at the National Press Club were "Nazis" who had performed Nazi salutes. Activists interviewed expressed a commitment to resisting the administration to protect their communities and rights.

38:04 to remind everybody that actually what's behind us up there in the National Press Club ballroom is actually, they are completely part of Trump. They're part and parcel of we're seeing a up there in the ballroom Nazis. the same groups that actually you saw last year doing Nazi salutes. We're seeing these so-called alt rights, alt right I call it and you know i think that we have to really be concerned about this dangerous direction that our country is going in. Lacey what about about the peaceful transition of power regardless who has won. Donald Trump has won the election but you seem to be trying to resist it, why? It doesn't matter who won or lost when you come for our communities, when you come for us and when you try to violate our rights we will resist! Okay resistance is in full force. What rights were violated? Ah well we'll get to that in just a moment I have

39:00 I have two more clips, and then we're gonna Transition got I have I when you're done guy do have one clip about you You can figure out where to fit it in but on PBS or on the news hour. They had this big panel speech speech critique There was a speech critique in there that was I thought very well. Let's do it. Let's do it now let's do it now I like that let's do this better to excellent the White House, but Donald Trump is gonna bring light to America Maybe he is going to continue to bring the fight to Washington But there was no acknowledgement That he had won his party has one one of the most important aspects of an inaugural speech Is to actually end

39:41 end the campaign, to move beyond the campaign. To bring about a sense of reconciliation and unity with all of those who fought fiercely against you." And I think there's also this other piece where he failed to recognize his moment in history. He did not acknowledge past presidents those who are sort of lions in the pantheon of presidents whether it's Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln, or George Washington. He did not notice or witness the ceremony as being important in history you know Bill Clinton who came to office with only 43% of the popular vote began his speech by talking about how this speech takes place in the dead of winter but that part

CHAPTER 16 / 48 Discussion

Media Punditry, Protocol and Reconciliation Failures

Pundits on PBS and CNN, including Gloria Borger, criticized Donald Trump for failing to follow the tradition of reconciliation in his inaugural speech. They specifically noted the lack of a tribute to Hillary Clinton and the absence of references to historical "lions" like Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln.

39:00 I have two more clips, and then we're gonna Transition got I have I when you're done guy do have one clip about you You can figure out where to fit it in but on PBS or on the news hour. They had this big panel speech speech critique There was a speech critique in there that was I thought very well. Let's do it. Let's do it now let's do it now I like that let's do this better to excellent the White House, but Donald Trump is gonna bring light to America Maybe he is going to continue to bring the fight to Washington But there was no acknowledgement That he had won his party has one one of the most important aspects of an inaugural speech Is to actually end

He did not notice or witness the ceremony as being important in history you know Bill Clinton who came to office with only 43% of the popular vote began his speech by talking about how this speech takes place in the dead of winter but that part

40:29 of the words and the faces of the people are about forcing the spring. That there is a sense of renewal, and Trump did not provide that." And that was actually one of the things I liked! There was no hoity-toity yes we can hope change you know there wasn't any of it I think if you listen to her and what she suggested, like let's compare him to Jefferson and Lincoln in Washington. If he did that, he would have been blasted. Who does he think he is comparing himself to Jefferson? Oh yeah of course. There is no winning that. Gloria Borger who again I still don't know why... What connection why she is so important to CNN as their senior political analyst

41:16 That she said something very similar about this speech. Let's get some quick thoughts from the glory boardroom floor I think this was an unusual inaugural speech it was a continuation of the campaign very much I think it was kind of a fist bump of his speech fist bump This is what I'm gonna do, this is what I campaigned on and then he gave the kinda literal fist bump when it was over I think that I couldn't help but thinking about the president sitting there when he talked about the American carnage that they had presided over. I'm not quite sure that would have gone over well with them and I was also surprised in some way that he did no pay tribute to Hillary Clinton, I expected

42:02 as George W Bush did to Al Gore when they had a hard-fought fight. I thought that would have been a unifying moment for him and he did not do it." Okay, he didn't follow protocol and tradition! That's what's going on there is not protocol or tradition we're shocked now shocking to me for all these pundits who are supposed to know something. We had all these balls and we had the armed services ball which of course is a big one for the Trump-Pence ticket, they got a lot of support from veterans and military personnel and of course in the vein of ha ha ha! They can't get any celebrities what a bunch of losers

CHAPTER 17 / 48 Discussion

Armed Services Ball, Media Ignorance of Military Culture

Media commentators, including Hallie Jackson, were criticized for mocking the entertainment at the Salute to Armed Services Ball. The critique highlights a disconnect between elite news organizations and military culture, specifically regarding the significance of performer Tony Orlando to veterans.

armed services ball· tony orlando· hallie jackson· nbc news· military culture

42:45 And then we do expect President Trump to make comments at the Salute to Armed Services Ball, comments no doubt tailored specifically for that audience there. Ann Marie Cox, we learned from Hallie Jackson that... Now Ann Marie Cox I want to say is a she's an elite she's top! She's way up there you know? She runs big big foundations affiliated with the Clintons. She's no slouch and she should know what is going on here.

43:32 If you are in the news business and you do not know the first thing about the armed services ball or the fact that Tony Orlando, the song Tie a Yellow Ribbon has been a staple for military for it's almost 50 years. It is absolutely huge song for these people And Orlando, of course he has no other career because you know that's pretty much the song Tony Orlando and Don. One hit wonder so he actually had a TV show He was pretty famous for his little era but he is USO! He is everywhere performing for troops and doing things that are never mentioned and For them to just sit there and laugh like look at my hair

44:17 Ayyy! Ass wipes. Now that was... No, it's not insulting it just shows you how incredibly uninformed and dumb they are. Just dumb. Ugh. Dumb. It's dumb. Dumb. Okay now- That was a good one. I could- It was very- Oh Hallie Jackson had to look him up on Google Who are these women reporters that NBC is loaded with and they all look kind of the same. They're attractive in a funny, awkward way and they're all Trump haters. And Katie Turrer's another one of them. Hallie Jackson you can't tell the difference between one or the other. They seem to have I don't know what where they got a degree in probably communications or something? They don't know anything! But when when you're prepping for this it's like

45:10 It's obvious that you have to know a little bit about what's going on. What are the producers doing? Are they not doing anything? Well, this is like... No! They're not doing anything because the producers are the same underpaid youngsters that are just probably at the peak that they're ever gonna get in their careers if they're working for the big network. But no, they don't know anything either. Nobody can correct anybody we've seen example after example of crazy stuff that said in a giant and in a network environment where you have cameraman, you have assistants, you have associate producers, you got producers, you got people in the control room there's lots of people what I haven't explained to say they don't know that this didn't happen or that didn't happen it's weird worse than that and I've used this explain to several people your word

George Soros, Funding the Women's March

The New York Times published an article by Asra Nomani detailing links between billionaire George Soros and over 50 partner organizations of the Women's March on Washington. The report examines the significant financial influence of one of Hillary Clinton's largest donors on the protest movement.

george soros· women's march· asra nomani· new york times· funding

46:01 that it is the milieu of these northern news organizations to just scoff at people who do not fit within their idea of, in this case celebrity. So they don't even you know just take a second and it's okay because you know Larry O'Donnell one day he'll be old and you'll only have one show and we'll laugh about you there oh whose that has been washed up douchebag now this morning in the New York Times headline New York Times. Billionaire George Soros has ties to more than 50 partners of the Women's March on Washington, subtitled What is the link between one of Hillary Clinton's largest donors and the women's march? Turns out it's quite significant. And blown away this is written by Asraa Nomani

46:52 And Asra has actually open sourced all of his or her, I guess it's a he. No it's a her. Has open sourced all of her research to show these 50 organizations that minimum 50 organizations that were involved in the march yesterday and I was...I think that's very encouraging that The New York Times actually cared to write about that. It's about time somebody did! Now, I'll be the first to say man. I was blown away by the number of people marching and Austin was insane

CHAPTER 19 / 48 Discussion

C-SPAN Coverage, Protest Signage and Chants

Observations of the Women's March via C-SPAN's roaming cameras revealed a variety of new protest chants, such as "We need a leader, not a greedy tweeter." The discussion compares the grassroots nature of the march to previous movements like Occupy Wall Street.

c-span· women's march· occupy wall street· democracy· protest chants

47:35 Well, I watched a couple of things. The thing to watch and I love... Give me a second here to explain what C-SPAN you know this but a lot people don't realize it. C-SPAN occasionally will dedicate one of their channels is just a camera. Yeah full on yeah Just doing nothing or in the case of the marches there was a camera That they were walking through the marchers and so you got to see all the signage It's like I did these things that would occasionally with my little video Do you remember the Occupy Wall Street? And there was occupy LA we were doing this show. I was living in LA when I went downtown To go check it out Remember that walk there looked at all the tents and everything and within I had a big sign don't drove me, bro But within 20 minutes, I realized oh wait a minute

48:21 This is bullcrap. This is the teachers union who has the microphone everyone else is not important and it was a Union event, he wasn't anything grassroots It was lame so anyway you got to walk through this and I did get to hear There's a bunch of there's some I got a couple things to talk about but one is the chance there's a new chant Mm-hmm. I don't know if you've heard it. I gotta cut a copy up here Yeah Is that this is what democracy looks like? No, okay. The other one is hey ho Trump has got to go or something stupid That's an old classic but no this is what democracy? What does the my this is what democracy is not nuts there was actually a new chant I never heard it before

49:03 And I just thought it was pretty funny. We need a leader, not a greedy tweeter? Creepy! A creepy tweeter?! And you can always follow me on Twitter. That's not a bad chant, I like that one it's okay. It's better than the other ones. Yeah it was funny because when people say hee-hee hi ho Trump has got to go and this is what democracy looks like we this is a republic

49:49 Yeah, it's a Republican. Even so if it was a democracy that's not what democracy looks like No, no, not at all This is what a protest looks like That would make more sense Yes I agree Now there was... One of the things that went on was a lot of men-on-the-street interviews done especially by RT and some of the other and Fox to make these people look as stupid as possible but there's an actually best one I found And this was done by Guyane Oh, OK. Well hold on a second. That's right everybody she is the number one on Russia Today that is the state sponsored propaganda arm of Putin! That's right okay what did Guyane do when she... This is the best interview you can hear this It's the best man on the street? That's the one? Yeah What makes you say that Putin got Trump elected

CHAPTER 20 / 48 Discussion

Social Media Sentiment, Fear and Disbelief

A reading of social media posts illustrates a deep sense of "overwhelming sadness" and fear among certain communities following the inauguration. The posts emphasize concerns for people of color, the LGBTQ community, and Muslims, framing the march as a "safe place" for those in pain.

facebook· social media· fear· activism· community

50:47 I don't know. I was just thinking like because Because everybody else is saying that no because there was leaked information from the same spot that leaked Watergate so it's like What information? Good information I don't know, i can't think of it on the spot Yeah alright bend over John I knew not what yeah That Is your typical male protester on j21 makes nothing but sense Girls now, but we were getting ahead. We're not we should yeah We brought it in yeah, we still got a backup because you made the chronological thing because your neat freak So let's get back to the to the day before well Maybe I should start with actually I should oh What just happened are you there? Yeah? That was a weird sound at all okay? Um yeah, maybe we should do this one for a second

51:46 When Adam needs to make an example of some typical slaves, he just reads the comments on his Facebag page. Gonna read Facebag! That's right gonna read face bag for you everybody Just wanted to give you a little bit of flavor what it was in my news feed and when I read these types of things It makes me incredibly sad Right off the bat but it's also kind of hilarious You have this same pathetic opening to this every time makes you sad I find it hard to believe these sensible people on Facebook would make you sad in any way. Hi! I got up early to write something for you guys, something for us, something that would be comforting or inspiring or both...I can't do it. Everything I write keeps sucking. I don't have any clarity at all this morning just the feeling of overwhelming sadness mixed with fear and disbelief. The world outside feels ominous an eerie and dangerous to me

52:42 In 15 minutes I'll wake up my babies and get them ready for school. Then Abby, my mom and me will fly to Sister's house in DC to get ready for the march! Tomorrow I'll be all fiery and hopeful again but today the truth is that I just feel afraid. Afraid of people of color. Afraid for the gay community Afraid for my Muslim friends. Afraid for all women. Afraid for my friends with disabilities. Afraid for our children to whom we can't promise any longer that the highest values of our land are respect, integrity, fairness kindness goodness inclusion diversity humility courage and wisdom This is the thing! I still cannot believe that i live in a country in which violence against women is not a deal breaker. In which blatant racism isn't a deal breaker, in which religious intolerance isn't a deal breaker, in which the mocking of disabled is not a deal breaker! I am simply stunned by it!" You get the idea...

53:30 I'll keep this thread open. If you need a safe place to be today, I'm here and your community is here! I'm sad and afraid but also I am here first the pain then the rising yes first the pain then the rising so you kind of see that this is...and I take this seriously people are really afraid they have been frightened and yeah by their own people well not every single talking point, I'll just call it of which the J21 marchers had has been completely deconstructed and debunked.

CHAPTER 21 / 48 Discussion

Pro-Life Feminists, Exclusion from Women's March

A pro-life feminist group was removed as an official partner of the Women's March following a social media backlash. The group's representative argued that the march failed its own standards of "inclusivity" by silencing women with differing ideological backgrounds.

pro-life· feminism· women's march· inclusion· atlantic

54:10 on this show. Every single one! And the best is, it just keeps boggling my mind that the LGBT community we're so afraid of... and it's all based on the lie that the Republicans in their platform and in particular Indiana Mike Pence signed legislation to divert funds for HIV to behavioral uh what now was it? The deprogramming Yeah, it was deprogramming. Oh crap now I forgot it was such a gay de- You go into this speech and then you drop the ball on that one word. It's funny. Yeah you know what I mean? Yeah, it gets to gay deprogramming where in fact Pence was the one who specifically signed a bill in Indiana to disallow that ever from happening

54:57 Right, but no one talks about that. Well that's like a point I'll make later in the show when i play those Leaving Office Samantha Powers clips which have lots of that sort of thing. Wait! No, no...I'm leading into a clip? Oh okay well I was gonna give you a break by playing The Madonna Clip Well I don't want to play The Madonna Clip because I have The Madonna Clip. You have The Madonna Clip? Of course I do Do you have Ashley Judd Clip I had the Ashley Judd clip and i realized it was too long and too... It was actually disgusting. I was able to cut it way down, but before we do that this was not an inclusive march by any means whatsoever

55:45 This was not covered at all, but I did get one clip. So it was going to be a really unique opportunity to stand with other women and just send a very clear message that you know with this new incoming administration we were gonna be holding Donald Trump accountable and You know there are plenty of women who had different ideologies in political backgrounds Who are coming together? And you know the site itself talks all about unity and inclusiveness and diversity. So when we were actually added as a partner, being a pro-life feminist group we're not used to getting included in a lot of circles but it was incredibly hopeful that this march was doing exactly what it claimed by including people even who had different opinions And you don't even support Donald Trump right?

56:29 I was not a Donald Trump supporter, no. But you are pro-life and because you have that stance... I'm incredibly pro life These women all of the sudden said You and your other female friends in your organization are not allowed to march with us Right once it came out in an Atlantic article that was actually praising them for being inclusive and adding us Within, I believe it was something like two hours there was a huge Twitter storm of people demanding that we be removed and unfortunately the march did cave to that pressure and decided to remove us as official partners. But either way we will still be out there representing the pro-life feminist contingent and we will definitely still be marching So how can they say their inclusive? And they welcome all women when they're not including everyone They are excluding you

57:12 Absolutely. And I mean, of course the irony here is they're standing against a Trump presidency and you wonder have they learned anything? The reason that I think a Trump presidency caught a lot of people by surprise is because so few people were willing to openly admit that they were supporting him right because they had been silenced and told that their opinions are unacceptable and then now here they are doing the exact same thing to pro-life women The reason this is important is now with the knowledge and of course if the New York Times says so, then it is so. Now with the knowledge...

CHAPTER 22 / 48 Discussion

Abortion Positive, Language of Reproductive Rights

Activists at the Women's March introduced the term "abortion positive" to describe their stance on reproductive health. This shift in language was noted during speeches by figures like Gloria Steinem, which were largely ignored by cable news in favor of other inauguration events.

abortion positive· gloria steinem· reproductive rights· language· activism

57:48 um, that Soros was funding at least 50 of the so-called partners and clearly they were not funded. So therefore whoops you're off the partner list." This was not inclusive. This was absolutely not inclusive. Yeah if you're a woman great but if your pro life or have any other different stance you're not allowed...you're not in...you're not allowed! So this was not a women's march in my opinion this was It was a coordinated effort and it, I believe really preyed on women's fears in the most disgusting way. And it was in effect, it was very effective for this one day. We'll have to see what comes of it after this but I think well no but with that I want us to talk about that in a minute after we go through some of these clips speaking of the abortion issue here's Kira Johnson she was one of the sanctioned partners my name is Kiara and I'm the ED of Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity

58:48 I work with young people and I am unapologetically abortion positive great term Abortion positive. Wow, that's a good one. It's a good one. I never heard that one at Gloria Steinem Gloria Steinem was and I want to say None of them none of the three news in the cable news networks were covering these speeches on MSNBC and did a little bit they were all way too busy covering the prayer breakfast or the national prayer whatever it was. And meanwhile these speeches were going on and I had to find a YouTube channel to really watch it uninterrupted live. They had it on C-SPAN uninterrupted live Okay, well I just defaulted something I knew I could get it so It was the pool feed from there time I didn't think about C-SPAN Gloria Steinem

CHAPTER 23 / 48 Discussion

Madonna, Controversial Speech at Women's March

Madonna sparked controversy during her Women's March speech by mentioning she had thought about "blowing up the White House." Her address, characterized by heavy profanity and a quote by poet W.H. Auden, led to calls for a Secret Service investigation.

madonna· white house· secret service· profanity· w.h. auden

59:41 Of course, a very well-known feminist. She weighed in for a moment. And remember the Constitution does not begin with I the President it begins with we the people So don't try to divide us do not try to divide us if you force Muslims to register We will all register as Muslim Okay It's a good line. It's a good line, but yeah seems unlikely it's based on a Fact-check false I would have to say and here's Madonna Madonna who initially had But I think she offered fellatio to everyone who was going to vote for Hillary Clinton if I recall correctly Wasn't she saying remember that? Yeah She said you would get anyone who voted for Hillary there a sign up list or anything people?

1:00:40 I don't know if...I think we might have had a clip for that, I thought. Well no it was very clear she had this uh i remember this so she took it in a different direction uh in a very Madonna type way. I don't mind f-bombs! I think they're kind of funny but I just think they were misplaced and shows in the and I'm you know I of course I have Tourette's that's why it slips out with me I can't help myself um but it just shows a lack of imagination for saying anything else and Across the board there were so many F you words and signs and slogans. It was not becoming that's not love That's you know that do you say these things in a hateful manner? I feel and to our detractors that insists, I should say if you have kids listening with cetera etcetera If you can't stand words it's coming at this March will never add up to anything Fuck you

1:01:46 I noticed at the everyone has kind of gotten the same memo. Well, let me back up for a second You can always tell when there's an unprofessional or non-professional on the stage They always think that they have to speak the way an orator sounds in a big audience like That's not what you need to do when you're on stage it will sound like that You know what I mean? Sounds like, actually Michael Moore does that. Yeah a lot of people do it Madonna doesn't do it There is an amplifier and there's a microphone in front you don't need to yell into it Exactly Fuck you! Oh thanks Madonna It is the beginning of much needed change

1:02:33 Change that will require sacrifice people. Okay change that will what I was gonna say is The but everyone called on to is when you want the crowd to chant, you got to do it at least three times To get them going and make sure that they remember what there's a what they're saying why are many of us? to make different choices in our lives But this is the hallmark of revolution. So my question to you today is, are you ready? And are you ready? Say yes we're ready! Say yes we're ready! One more time, you're ready! Yes I'm angry. Yes I am outraged.

1:03:36 I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. You know, of course what everyone says is if this has been the other way around and if anyone said it about Obama then there would've been a huge controversy and that's all true but this just not the world we live in This is the alternative universe And its just accepted now these things There no more outrage over saying these things In fact If you look at the tweeters I must have counted before. I stopped at least 50 Huh wouldn't it be great if someone assassinated Trump right now? And that's what people are tweeting well, they should all be Investigated by the Secret Service immediately yeah, that's not gonna happen oh yes it is I Don't think so hi do you really yes secret service takes this very seriously Let's wrap up a Madonna here But I know

1:04:34 that this won't change anything. We cannot fall into despair as the poet W H Auden... Have you ever heard of this poet? Oh, he's very famous Well I wasn't impressed by this line Once wrote... The line was dumb! I don't know what the point of this quote was out of context Thank you That was my point too Once wrote on the eve of World War II we must love one another or die What a great quote boy, I'm blown away by that one and then followed up with fuck you. Yeah great I choose love are you with me? Say this with me we choose love You we choose love

1:05:26 You reach you see She didn't say that I said Did you edit it cuz I had the same exact clip and remember that part of it? I would have kept that party. I only guy ended with the odd thing It was too stupid all right so now at the one thing you don't want to overlook here is every half the audience well Or 30 there somebody's making a lot of money more money on these stupid pussy hats. There was money being made, yeah and there's a lot of foundation drives, a lot of people getting... There is a lot of money to be made and the hats are dumb looking it looks like two ears it doesn't even look like anything but you had to notice that of all the pussyhats in the whole place Madonna wore a black one! A black one? Of course well she's a style icon come on man you know that but I feel that Ashley Judd and if I put the link to her full appearance rant

CHAPTER 24 / 48 Discussion

Ashley Judd, Nasty Woman Poem

Ashley Judd performed a poem by 19-year-old Nina Donovan titled "I am a Nasty Woman" at the Women's March. The performance touched on various social issues, including the "pink tax" on feminine hygiene products compared to the tax status of Viagra and Rogaine.

ashley judd· nina donovan· nasty woman· tampons· viagra

1:06:16 Well, it was up there for 20-25 minutes. It was incredibly entertaining! I really loved watching and then what i liked the most is that... And I just cut some stuff together kind of flows when she goes through this list and she's like BAM BAM BAM of all the things and it's all those talking points Every single one of them is based on media coercion, collusion. Right down to Donald Trump said women who have abortions should be punished! You know that would... Well you have to remember this was actually most of what her rant was a poem written by a teen girl Yeah So your gonna get that kind of depth And here it is! It's not like a poor laureate or anything knows what they're doing If you've not seen this

1:07:06 Or heard this. I think you'll find it enjoyable, you'll be... hmm intrigued at least. And i bring you words from Nina Donovan a 19 year old in middle Tennessee and she has given me the privilege of telling you what she has to say. I am a nasty woman! I'm not as nasty as a man who looks like he bathes in Cheeto dust Hold on a second, stop right there. Yeah making fun of the color of someone's skin. Making fun of somebody's skin color or hair whatever they put on their face but this is the kind of thing that these people are supposed to be against yeah there's a lot of the cheeto orange face and it is... The guy's face is orange! Make up your mind if you want to be a bigoted jerk off

1:08:03 Say so, but don't go oh you shouldn't say this about that person. Oh you shouldn't say that You should- you got to be politically correct about this now Don't call him he or she call them a she all this kind of thing But then when you said when you get the microphone your worse than they are A man who looks like he bathes in Cheeto dust! A man whose words are a diss track to America college sanctioned hate speech contaminating this national anthem. I'm not as nasty as confederate flags being tattooed across my city, maybe the south actually is gonna rise again maybe for some it never really fell

1:08:51 Blacks are still in shackles and graves just for being black. Slavery has been reinterpreted as the prison system in front of people who see melanin as animal skin I am not as nasty As a swastika painted on a pride flag, and I didn't know devils could be resurrected but I feel Hitler! In these streets A mustache traded for a toupee. Nazis renamed the cabinet electroconversion therapy, the new gas chamber shaming the gay out of America turning rainbows into suicide notes.

1:09:38 I am not as nasty as racism, fraud, conflict of interest, homophobia, sexual assault, transphobia, white supremacy, misogyny, ignorance, white privilege. I'm not as nasty as your own daughter being your favorite sex symbol! Like your wet dreams infused with your own genes, but yeah. I'm a nasty woman A loud, vulgar proud woman. I'm not nasty like the combo of Trump and Pence being served up to me in my voting booth Why are tampons and pads still taxed when Viagra and Rogaine are not? Is your erection really more

1:10:37 I find, I thought this was a very important speech not for all of the homophobic, misogynistic. You know those are all just the talking points I like the comment about feminine hygiene products that those are taxed and Viagra is not taxed. Toilet paper's taxed too by the way okay um i think women... Somebody gonna bitch about that? No but you know but women have

CHAPTER 25 / 48 Discussion

Sean Spicer, Media Criticism and Crowd Size

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer issued a stern statement excoriating the media, particularly The New York Times, for "deliberately false reporting." He focused on the framing of inaugural crowd photographs and the alleged removal of a Martin Luther King Jr. bust from the Oval Office.

sean spicer· fake news· new york times· media· press conference

1:11:29 They have a lot of legitimate gripes, world over. Of course they got a lot of legitimate gripes but as a member of the community that is shunned and hated namely older white males cis of course which doesn't, I'm not upset. You know you can hate me and call me the patriarchy. Check your privilege man! Check my privilege and I'm the problem and I helped found this country on racism all of those things...you can say that it doesn't affect me the way it's intended But I understand the point and the frustration and the fact that these women who were, in general, abused into this march which was an example of moral self-licensing i.e., not that much different from changing your avatar because it goes absolutely... What is happening today? Nothing!

1:12:27 I want to talk about one thing. Yeah, somebody's calling their congressman. Congress office! So yeah...I'd like this...I like to complain when the mainstream really started to clue in that this was pretty big and then everyone started switching over it took a while and most of the big speeches already been done but they're showing that you know massive amounts of people all over the world I personally, I thought maybe Trump should come out and say something right now. That would be kind of good and it was insinuated that he might do that as oh we're going to have a press conference and this was the biggest troll move and I have thoughts on it so okay maybe Trump will say something. He's gonna address this protest and I actually felt hey man this would be pretty good what an opportunity to say something

1:13:19 And then of course what happens is Sean Spicer comes out the new spokeshole and he I believe appropriately excoriates The New York Times in particular for creating fake news and false and lies, and just you know being mean-spirited for no reason other than to do it. I thought this...I thought Spicer's thing was dropping the gauntlet Oh, it was now. It was not just setting the stage for what it's going to be like absolutely But I think you again have violated your own rule here and jumped ahead Okay by a lot all right well I actually it's a jump ahead so you can then pull back and then push us all the way the finish line Well, I'm not pushing anybody in the finish line So I want to go back the day before which is you insisted on oh

CHAPTER 26 / 48 Discussion

National Statuary Hall, Inaugural Luncheon Observations

C-SPAN's cameras captured behind-the-scenes moments at the inaugural luncheon in National Statuary Hall. Observations included Senator John McCain checking table name tags and President Trump signing cabinet orders with multiple pens while surrounded by congressional leaders.

c-span· john mccain· paul ryan· inaugural luncheon· gold plate

1:14:05 I thought we were done with the day before. No, you thought we're done! I wasn't done because i had some observations to make about the events immediately after the inauguration because C-SPAN again had one of these roaming cameras And they took us into the ballroom. They had this big lunch, I just wanna point this because there's a point I want to make here which is something I observed by just being watching the camera on the other side. It was done in the National Statuary Hall. Everybody was there. And they had the armed guards walking down the thing. They were moving people from here to there, Schumer everybody was there, everybody was there but the most interesting thing is that the honor guard or whatever came in and formed kind of like two sides and you walk down the middle except for Trump's family a few others came around outside and went in some other way But before they even got the honor guard there anything McCain

1:15:08 And his wife showed up early. Oh! And I thought this was a political move, and I thought it was quite smart. McCain went early to check out who would see whose table because every table had a number and a little name tag So McCain gets in there early and starts going from table-to-table reading all the name tags Yeah of course he wants to know where to go to schmooze Of course that's what he does No you don't have a choice Well, no. He will know where to walk to to schmooze maybe he would have a note and you'd know that and he could also see where he is in the new pecking order. And I'm telling it's like table 50. Yeah. He's way in the back there good. A couple of things I noticed also was that they were using this. I don't know if this was always the case or they do this all the time or for just in honor of Trump but the silverware was all gold plate. Of course why not?

1:16:07 And then they cut away to another camera which was just a... Can I just say something about this? I have a feeling that when they went, because this was the lunch right. They had to go do the lunch To me, I think that was in a way a concerted effort by the media to keep Trump there Because by the time they were out to do their parade it was almost dark I think the media was trying to screw things up and keep them there, you know? And keep the parade. Okay...I haven't had enough time to research but i have a feeling that something screwed up with the timing and it was dark by the time they were finishing up the parade Well anyway they did have the parade and he got to walk along They had a camera for that too But the camera that's interesting is before he came into the lunch almost last

1:16:59 And they had him signing stuff, and people were baffled by this. He was essentially signing orders to allow certain people to be in his cabinet. He was signing, signing, signing, signing, but while he was signing it was surrounded by the Stooges Paul Ryan, he had Schumer all these people around. Pelosi was up as well. Pelosi was there they were all the big shots were there and they're all smiling and they're grabbing pens He had a bunch of pens come out And then he has three kids three little kids that aren't his yeah That were standing they brought him towards the table and they started grabbing the pens dickens with them pens. And so then Trump, who has a signature that takes 10 minutes to sign... he's gonna have to change this. Well they get the auto pen. It takes him forever to sign I'm sure you'll use the auto-pen well you can't do an autosign on a bill no

1:17:47 So and besides it'd be more trouble than it's worth. But so he's signing and signing, and then there was their Kippets singing Paul Ryan use more than one pen you have more than one pan yeah And Trump is just plowing ahead signs I give a crap about this stupid. I always thought was dumb Yeah Obama would sign a bill It would do that his first the B with one pain in another man. Yeah different pin yeah Yeah, dumb. Trump's just grinding away with the one pen he says what did somebody want this pen? So it gives the pin to somebody and then they start fighting over the pen. I know it was pretty This isn't depend on I want Unbelievable is gonna be a very funny situation, but that was pretty pathetic. I admit from those deceased man yes All right now. I'm I can move to the next day well No you can

CHAPTER 27 / 48 Discussion

Presidential Departure, Marine One and Flight Diversion

Following the inauguration, the Obama family departed on Marine One and flew toward Palm Springs for a vacation. Their flight was reportedly diverted due to heavy rain, highlighting the logistical challenges of the transition day.

barack obama· marine one· palm springs· air force one· weather

1:18:36 Because I have just as a little color commentary when the family and you know, it's everyone's the Obamas are about to about to leave on Marine one and the The Trump family walks out, whatever it was they weren't doing it according to protocol or tradition or whatever it was and here's what MSNBC... Here is the commentary. As I mentioned look at that ambient light we are losing daylight fast! I believe I read sundown was a 516 local

1:19:13 time tonight so and that also brings us to an explanation that the organizers gave us Tom Barak who is the venture capital guy from New York who Donald Trump had set up this event has explained to us that we're seeing so many empty bleachers because lunch ran late, then they could not get bused down in time. They're screwing this up man. Here comes the extended Trump family out to the reviewing stand including Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner

1:19:55 Why do I think of the Romanovs? There's an aspect there. That's the first thing that comes to mind, though. The Romanovs! And they're all ho-ho and they can't stop laughing about it. Ho-ho-ho I mean this extended family all attract him of course and just we're getting to know all of them so quickly. Well it's a big family and it spans a lot of years. The power is being distributed among the families. Children from three different marriages, he has got a ten year old, he also has sons who are in their early forties. He's investing his family with authority.

1:20:37 Who's gonna argue with Jared and the government? Oh man, they're just beside themselves. Romanoff... yeah that's the first thing I think of. Well the-I'm watching the thing uh i didn't get to-i didn't go there. I stayed on the C-SPAN feed because they showed that whole thing and and I don't know if you had this feeling, I'm sure a lot of people did but the whole time from the from the minute he starts his to sign off or do the pledge as president to defend the Constitution, to the chopper that was there that Obama's got into. And then I guess they went right to the 747, the big Air Force One and flew to California for a vacation which is what I thought was rounded out their whole thing very nicely. They never landed at their intended airport. They were diverted for some

1:21:25 Rain or so I think was Palm Springs, and they were diverted for rain And I don't even know where they landed. They didn't let it Can you land at 47 at Palm Springs one of the worst airports in the world? That's where I think they were going PSP Okay, so now back to the J21. The Women's March. Wait a minute let me get you in and let me make my point. The point was that I'm watching this thing from the inauguration all the way through the chopper taking off and I keep thinking to myself Maybe the chopper will blow up or maybe there'll be a Rocket attack right here, or maybe just somebody to start sniping at the event I throughout the entire event. I'm thinking this because they've been programmed Yeah, well I also had those moments and Twitter was very hopeful for those moments apparently

CHAPTER 28 / 48 Discussion

Media Distraction, Crowd Size vs. Women's March

The focus on inaugural crowd size is analyzed as a strategic "distraction" intended to shift media coverage away from the Women's March. CNN's Gloria Borger and other pundits noted that the administration's aggressive stance on attendance numbers successfully dominated the news cycle.

gloria borger· cnn· crowd size· distraction· women's march

1:22:18 So the J21 and of course there are at least 10 women I know who i saw on the face bag, and they were very happy. And I saw the camaraderie I understand of course none of these women were that i know necessarily are pro-life or have different ideas and they're all kind from the same thinking and background but women who've worked with, and I know very well. And I'm happy that they all felt happy and they seem to be having a good time. I don't think it's very fruitful like question What this moral self-licensing exercise will result in because of course J23 or 22 is today and you'd want something to To be clear, but as we said before it seems like there's so many agendas so many different You know from care. This is the Council on American Islamic relations to urge playoff football now

1:23:13 So at first I was like, you know, I think he should talk. He should talk and after thinking about it and discussing it with some of my friends, um...I've concluded that they probably made a very good choice in throwing out a huge distraction Which everyone, all the news bought into it. So if I were producing news and i think it was on its way where people say holy crap look at this look at all these cities are switching Paris Berlin DC New York LA Austin women women women It's like oh my god! If this guy doesn't say something then then I'm thinking there was no way he could win No matter what he would say

1:23:57 Even if he came out and said, I will do everything you ask for. It would have been turned into he said it's going to kill us or whatever there is no...I mean i think the Trumps realize this that there was nothing he could say at that moment in fact You know I've talked to several women so what did you want to hear? Umm..i would like to hear some reassurance But he's like, this has been... There is no way. You can't get the reinsurance words through to the brain just as an example Roe versus Wade same sex marriage Trump has answered this very clearly that's law He isn't going to go and change that The way people were talking was if their rights had already been taken away So they come up with a plan in my mind it's like we got to do something

1:24:47 I know, let's distract these people. They're such idiots at the news media! We're gonna make a big deal about their fake photo of how many people were there... Make that a big deal and then they'll forget all about the women responding to them and as far as i could tell That's exactly what happened. In fact, you can hear Gloria Borger again from CNN she understands it's a distraction and still they take the bait today at the CIA event there is large march going on in Washington which was an around the country which was not addressed in this

1:25:25 in this statement that Sean made and it's one of those statements that you can see, that the president is upset. He goes out there he makes a statement and then he leaves and I guarantee you that its because Donald Trump is angry about this. And in terms of the statement was carefully worded as Ryan pointed out during while we were listening because he may have included TV ratings and all the rest but why are we arguing about how many people were on the mall. Because that's the whole point we want you to not talk about the march! I'm glad there are no other problems in this country now, everything else is fixed.

1:26:03 I mean, why is this even a topic? Could there be any other reason to do that?" Mark Preston and I we don't- CNN does not give crowd estimates. We don't do that but we do have two pictures from 2009 and a picture from yesterday taken from the same location almost exactly at the same time And you can see the crowd size there in 2009 Mission accomplished! Brolf is so stupid Well, we do have the pictures we can show You can see it's not true And as far as I could tell, there was no other conversation about this huge march which i think was pretty big. It's just misguided and poorly organized. We have tons of man on the street producers who have sent me run downs of everything they witnessed and consistently they say well it was pretty poorly organized you know people just kind of walking around except for the stages where one in DC and then a couple in other cities.

CHAPTER 29 / 48 Discussion

Protest Ephemera, Collectible Signs and Social Dynamics

The aftermath of the Women's March left behind piles of handmade signage, which are described as potential "beautiful collectibles." The march is characterized by some as a "giant mixer" or social event rather than a focused political movement, with claims of financial backing by George Soros.

protest signs· collectibles· social event· soros· port angeles

1:27:02 There was a picture, this is just a little bit of an aside. I just retweeted it awhile ago before we retweeted the thing here. There's a picture that floating around Twitter showing somebody bitching about the mess they made with marchers and there are piles of signage most of it hand-made I don't understand why anybody in the DC area doesn't go down there and collect as much of that stuff as they can. These signs are art worth collecting! Yeah, it's true. I have a whole bunch of people sent me... got a Dropbox with signs with chants all kinds of stuff. I'm looking for this picture you tweeted what did you tweet? It's a picture in there somewhere. I think I retweeted it hmm

1:27:44 I'll have to go back. Yeah, I will retweet it but anyway it's a great photo of the piles and piles of signage and all of it is... A lot of its beautiful collectibles! You could fill a whole office wall-to-wall with these signs that would be very decorative In the show notes today I'll put the entire archive that one of our producers made for us And this has videos It's a good historical document But what was your feeling in general about this march? Because this is something I can't just let pass by. This was not just a small anomaly, you know and...

1:28:23 Because again, I'm watching this. I'm virtually there with the C-Span camera roaming around. I saw it as one giant mixer of pickup places where at least 20 to 25% males at this woman's march... And I think that these guys with the man buns who were there? They're there to pick up women! That's what I'm thinking. That's what i was seeing, a bunch of guys looking like they're going to try to pick up women and a lot of women look very amenable to going out and going out to dinner with some guys and then bitchin' and moaning about Trump You know if you're gonna meet one of the women there, if you're also into the thing. Michael Moore was probably there to pick up somebody. It's like no agenda meet-ups. The people that are at the meetup have a like minded kind of thing going on that would make it very easy... Like our defense attorney mentioned in his note he said hey I didn't have to worry about dealing with idiots when we went out to dinner

1:29:29 Hmm. I just that's what I saw it as a so there's one giant hey, what are we gonna do? Let's go out where we got to do on Saturday There's no playoff games. No basketball let's go to this this thing with all these women let's go guys well You know you know to me the fact that the mainstream media was really not covering What was being said Did no one catch that? That you had this huge march and they just showed helicopter shots, and they showed very little. Of course you can't show Madonna because although that did go out live I think on a couple of the channels but...

1:30:06 But in general, I don't think they could even explain what was going on or what the idea was. Or what the mission... What is the mission? And i'm just asking a simple question. What do you want and I keep hearing we want our rights back! You know, or don't take them away well as far as I know nothing has changed. Nothing has changed yet and it just seemed like an abusive situation. It did not feel good to me Well, again I thought it was a mixer and...I did think that the speakers were all nuts. They were just complete socialists bitching and ranting and screaming into the mic but i don't think that 90% of people were close enough to those rigs even hear any of that. It was just people wandering around you know so I like your sign oh thank you let's chant something I got a good one then they'll start chanting at it wasn't very

1:31:05 It's just seemed like a... Have you ever participated in the 60s, in any marches? Any type of...? I went to teach-ins at the University of California where they brought up lecturers and big people. They're sitting there with like 1,000 people sitting on a lawn maybe 400, you can't tell if it's 1000 or 500 or whatever sitting along and these guys would come up and give us long lectures. Lectures are just being in a school room classroom And they would tell us about some of the bull crap that was going on and why it would, and it was very, it was a teaching. It was very interesting. I've been to certain situations where there was a riot taking place and I've seen, been in a riot situation. I know kind of what to do always make sure you're somewhere around as a solid object that you can hide behind because every once while the crowd will turn and start running then you have to be- Out of the way out of the way

1:32:00 It's very risky, because you start running with the crowd. You trip and get stomped on. So I always be around a tree, big tree or something that you can just tuck yourself behind, because when people are running cause cops are chasing them it's like a dog and cat. The only reason the cops are chasing is cause they're running! And so you have to find some place where you can be safe. And I managed to do that. What...now, what I'm most interested in because maybe I'm just not as short-sighted as other people but if we continue this for four years eight years whatever you know that when the tables turn which they always do the pendulum always swings and we have a democratic powerhouse in Washington. Do they think it's not gonna be horrible? You think people will forget? This is just a group that is... It's just not a small group

1:32:57 No, but again I think a lot of it Mimi was talking about this because they wanted to do one of these. I think they did have in Port Angeles for the old ladies and she kept being hounded oh let's go we're gonna go do it dude we're gonna demonstrate we're gonna go to demonstrate it was like a social event hmm and she says you would there she finally had to tell him to stop talking to her because he kept they kept pestering or she should come she should come she should come And this is again financed by Soros as you pointed out earlier in the show. So there's a lot of money here and I just thought it was a big giant social event, I didn't see that had any impact whatsoever

CHAPTER 30 / 48 Discussion

East Austin Gentrification, Griselda's Restaurant

A social gathering at Griselda's in East Austin on inauguration day is described, noting the gentrification of the area. Despite the political gravity of the day, the attendees reportedly avoided all discussion of the inauguration, reflecting a "commiseration" atmosphere.

east austin· gentrification· griselda's· social atmosphere· inauguration

1:33:34 Hmm. Yeah, you know we were at this it was kind of interesting Friday inauguration day I'd done the whole InfoWars thing I bought back and this is the former New York Bankers wife was her birthday and he always has an interesting crowd of people then of course We're gonna go And it's a restaurant in East Austin, which holy crap. If you ever get here, John, I got to take you here is called Griselda's um, it's on the east side, which has interesting east side is really starting to build up as we know kick all the poor people out. So gentrified. Yeah. Hey that's right. Um, it was very odd to be there with 16 people and not one word was spoken about the inauguration. Not one

1:34:20 What did you expect him to do? Well, someone could have... I mean what word would you expect it have. I've never been floating around and heard a word about the inauguration either but when have you ever heard a word about the inauguration? I just expected that. Yeah i didn't want a political conversation. I didn't want that but yeah actually I forgot to wear my American flag pin. I wanted to piss everybody off. I forgot. That would be funny But I don't know, just thought it was interesting. There were women there who are sure all in but yeah you're right mixer social and I feel incredibly sad that

1:35:04 Women I know, I think they were duped. They may have had a great day... Yeah, that could be. There's a lot of money behind it and you can dupe people that way but again if it was just a mixer because it wasn't raining or anything and you go out with your little pink hat on and see like-minded individuals this is kind of awake! It was a commiseration for Hillary There was like a giant wake, that was the end of that idea. Now let's back to business but lets do this first maybe we meet some people we didn't know before and talk to them and maybe date them I'm telling you when you took the C-SPAN tour I watched it for about an hour except for the little chance that came in between people wandering around just wandering around with signage most of it handmade Well here is what I say to women who I know

1:35:56 You know, if your rights really are in danger I'll be the first to stand up. I'd do that in any case but I don't think this did a lot and apparently...and I think this is the difference people both in the inaugural speech and as a response to the J21 wanted some kind of uplifting hopeful inspirational message that would make them feel good And you're just not going to get that from Trump. He's just not going to do it. Even if they get that from him, they're not gonna interpret it that way! Well yes... You say so yourself with your universe theories That is the problem. They are gonna hear one thing and you are gonna hear another and that's exactly what's going on. So whatever Trump says is gonna sound like crap. Now moving forward I think the only thing he can do is just show success Not that will be interpreted as positive No, that would be bad

CIA Headquarters Visit, Hallowed Ground Controversy

Donald Trump visited CIA headquarters at Langley, speaking in front of the memorial wall. While media critics on CNN called the visit a "disrespectful" use of "hallowed ground," the atmosphere among employees was described as enthusiastic, with staff reportedly welcoming the departure of Director John Brennan.

cia· donald trump· hallowed ground· mike pompeo· media feud

1:36:51 But I think he does have to show success. Predefinition is in play, you can't do anything about it now just before we go into a break i do want to mention one thing which is something we've been talking about from the beginning which is Trump's gotta make friends with the CIA right yes so he goes to the CIA he goes to land wait wait wait before you do that I know you have a clip of his setup for that though hold on I have set up for your CIA clip here here setup here Hold on. I got it here. I hope it's what I hope it is. I hope it is what you hope it is too, here we go um this one

1:37:29 I'm saying that it was the media that made up the feud between Trump and the CIA, but we know forgive me damn well. That he pushed back right on the CIA reports on what they came to conclusions they came to Russia and hacking. He referred repeatedly in tweets as intelligence in quotes. Exactly. He was undermining this multiple times. Look, We The Media are a very easy target. That is not going to change It has been so since the beginning of this republic And probably since the beginning of time In the free world Oh yeah But, so you know he can say what he wants. It's unfortunate that he said that there on hallowed ground. Hallowed ground? It happens to be not true that we conflated things that he said all you have to go do is look at his Twitter feed uh...to see what he said putting intelligence in quotes saying and his own press conference uh...that the way that he thinks of they acted as like Nazi Germany. That's on us those are his words. Okay now they went on I saw this too and

1:38:27 Was remiss in not clipping the better part of it But it was kind of scattered because he's the same people that did they did Trump the Russian report? The British spy and all is the same guy that one guy in particular said newbie there, and he's always defending himself There's about three or four people sitting there on the CNN thing and they're saying oh this was hallowed ground and it's how standing is hallowed ground the list of the dead CIA agents and they shouldn't have done it there he was disrespectful the CIA hated it. And everyone no one was well then they said well nobody spoke up, but they were very upset you know? And all the rest of it they go on and on about that how as a bad thing that Trump did now I have a short clip

1:39:10 And one of the problems, of course is he gives it to the media again. But I have a short clip of this where he's in there that behind him is the wall and he's bitching about there's only 400 people because there was 1,000 that wanted to get in and they're all standing outside And he says, he'll come back to speak some more. Now I want you to listen to this and tell me if you hear any evidence that anyone felt bad about him. He's in the rotunda! It's not hallowed ground it's a rotunda! It's hallowed ground. Hallowed, hallowed... I heard hollow so many times. Or hallowed grounds beside the point is that it's not the cemetery he's in Yeah true

1:39:51 So they made a big fuss about this. Just listen to this, and I think was the atmosphere and this is a bunch of CIA employees. Like if Tom Brady's on the cover it's one time because he won the Super Bowl or something right? I've been on for 15 times this year! I don't think that's a record Mike that can never be broken do you agree with that what do you think but i will say that um they said it was very interesting that Donald Trump took down the bust, the statue of Dr. Martin Luther King and it was right there but there was a cameraman that was in front of it so Zeke, Zeke from Time magazine writes this story about I took down...I would never do that because they had great respect for dr. Martin Luther King but this is how

1:40:43 dishonest the media is. Now, big story... The retraction was like where? Was it a line or do they even bother putting it in? So I only like to say that because I love honesty. I like honest reporting. I will tell you final time although I will say when you let in your thousands of other people that have been trying to come in because I am coming back We may have to get you a larger room. And maybe, it'll be built by somebody that knows how to build and we won't have columns. Do you understand that? We get rid of the columns!

1:41:37 But no, I just wanted to really say that. I love you. I respect you. There's nobody I respect more. You're going to do a fantastic job and we're gonna start winning again and you're going to be leading the charge so thank you all very much Thank you beautiful. Thank you very much have a good time. I'll be back. I'll be back. Thank They're whistling and hooting and laughing. How is this hallowed grounds? What are these people on CNN talking about?

1:42:25 They're doing anything they can to disrupt this presidency and make this guy look bad. And I think what happened here, and it was interesting that that was his first real order of business as well as first stop anywhere the pencil pushers are out you know the douchebags who were responsible for this high confidence. You know Brennan these guys are gone! From what i understand from our contacts with civilians inside the Pentagon is They're happy these douchebags are gone. They don't like the non-operative guys running these shows and everyone seems to be very happy with Pompeo if he is confirmed, which of course is another issue because they're holding back that confirmation. Well they rarely...they make it tough on these guys but they're not gonna

Sean Spicer, First Official Press Briefing

Sean Spicer's first press briefing was marked by an aggressive tone toward the media, specifically calling out a Time Magazine reporter for a false tweet about the MLK Jr. bust. Spicer signaled a new era of "press shaming" where the administration will actively challenge mainstream narratives.

sean spicer· press briefing· media shaming· martin luther king jr· time magazine

1:43:20 Generally speaking, if it's one of their own which Pompeo is as a legislator guy. And he's also in on the committee that oversees the CIA. They'll just make his life because they have to approve him there's no question about that. Now I do have the clip before we go to break if you want to hear it of that first press conference Because this is where what's his name? I can never I'll never remember the skies John Spicer spice Sean Sean here's an easy way to remember Shawn the spokesman Sean comes out and he just Excorces good. I think this is gonna be the best part cuz I've never seen a press con I've never seen a press guy do this when it comes out in excoriates the media mm-hmm

1:44:16 and tells him that this is not going to be, it doesn't say these words but he's pretty much saying no more business as usual where you guys get to do whatever you want. It wasn't a problem with Obama because they were all the psychophants right? But this guy knows that Trump is gonna get nothing but grief from the media so he's gonna He's gonna, every time they screw up it seems to me the main part of the news conference is going to be him calling them out on it. Thank you guys for coming I know our first official press briefing is going to be on Monday but I wanted to give you a few updates on the president's activities But before I get to the news of the day I think I'd like to discuss a little bit of coverage in the past 24 hours Yesterday at a time when our nation and world was watching the peaceful transition of power

1:45:02 And as the president said, the transition and the balance of power from Washington to the citizens in United States. Some members in media were engaged in deliberately false reporting for all the talk about the proper use of Twitter two instances yesterday stand out one was a particularly egregious example which a reporter falsely tweeted out that the bust of Martin Luther King Jr had been removed from the Oval Office After it was pointed out that this was just plain wrong, the reporter casually reported and tweeted out and tried to claim that a Secret Service agent must have just been standing in front of it. This was irresponsible...and reckless." And it was really race-baiting and everyone knows why the guy did it he thought he had a scoop Time Magazine Bastion Of Truth Thought He Had A Scoop HAHAHAHA RACIST! Oops

1:45:56 Secondly, photographs of the inaugural proceedings were intentionally framed in a way in one particular tweet to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the National Mall. This was the first time in our nation's history that floor coverings have been used to protect the grass and the mall. That had the effect of highlighting any areas where people were not standing while years past the grass eliminated this visual This is also the first time that fencing and magnetometers went as far back on the wall, preventing hundreds of thousands of people from being able to access them all. Fencing and magnetometers? Did you mean metal detectors?

1:46:36 Preventing hundreds of thousands of people from being able to access the mall as quickly as they had in inaugurations past. Inaccurate numbers involving crowd size were also tweeted, no one had numbers because the National Park Service which controls the national mall does not put any out by the way this applies to any attempts to try and count the number of protesters today in the same fashion we do know a few things so let's go through the facts. We know that from the platform where the president was sworn into 4th street holds about 250 people He goes on and on. Right, but this came across as very petty to me...very petty! Well it seems petty but this is what this guy's gonna do yeah and he's gonna take the push back on it because Trump can't do this that would cuz Trump at this point has to get to work into some other stuff he hasn't he can't be doing all this other crazy stuff I think it I don't know if it sounds petty I think its aggressive

1:47:33 I'm sorry, bitch and moan about whatever that gets written. There's two ways. And there's two things to look at one again. So three things actually want it think this was a distraction thrown out there specifically? I really believe that what is a distraction to get the press talking because when you call out the press and say hey, you guys are all full of crap but at this point everybody was showing the tube side by side pictures all the news network networks are doing that. So instead of, oh yeah don't... it's basically don't look over there you know? Don't look over here! Nothing to see here! Look at that! And its the throwing down on the gauntlet which I agree is this is it we're going to call you out were gonna shame you except they're really gonna do it

1:48:15 Ah, shame. Yeah that's what it is. It's going to be press shaming constantly and you know take up a lot of time at the beginning of each news conference because you're gonna have to go into the news conference with the... Get shamed! Sean, the press guy is gonna come out Take your beating And you're gonna take a beating for 10 minutes and then you can start asking questions I'm telling you, this is fantastic. Well there's no doubt John that we are in for a great...I mean we have to do the show for at least four more years this is gonna be hilarious it'll be fantastic! I don't think I could have hoped anything better than this and there's no change in direction everything's exactly the same um I'm very happy with that. You?

Audience Dynamics, Parallel Universes and Show Growth

The hosts discuss the "second dimensional split" in the American audience, noting that some listeners have abandoned the show due to political polarization. Despite this, the program reports record numbers in the chatroom and a stable "vow of poverty" business model.

audience· media split· parallel universes· podcasting· growth

1:49:03 Yeah, I think it's great. I said it before everybody knows that I mean it. It is great for the show and much more entertaining. I think the second dimensional split that you've identified... I think that's kind of a drawback because we lose We lose audience. We've lost a lot of audience to this because I didn't even see it in the emails Oh, yeah, or are you seeing tweets once in awhile? Sure I used to thank you and then they bitching moaning than any there are at the incognito Yeah, no, I believe is on the other side of that split and he's bailed on us. Yeah, and Well for sure And I think this is probably a good thing

1:49:50 There will be no coddling of the American people from this administration. It's gonna be, oh let's all be hopeful and that's not going to be there. That's not gonna happen it straight down to business I got I hope they're doing gonna do it right and we'll see yeah have a couple of funny nobody does it right so it's unlikely they're gonna do it have a couple fun in areas from clips from some of the confirmation hearings will play propaganda Propaganda, propaganda.

CHAPTER 35 / 48 Discussion

Kellyanne Conway, Baby Comment Controversy

Media outlets like Democracy Now criticized Donald Trump for calling campaign manager Kellyanne Conway "baby" during a donor dinner. The segment examines the context of the remark, where Trump was praising her courage in appearing on hostile news networks.

Betsy DeVos, Confirmation Hearing and Qualifications

Senator Elizabeth Warren questioned Education Secretary nominee Betsy DeVos on her lack of experience with the federal student loan system. The exchange highlighted DeVos's wealthy background and the debate over the necessity of the Department of Education, which was established in 1980.

betsy devos· elizabeth warren· department of education· student loans· confirmation

2:14:07 Okay, so that's an outrage. It's an outrage! For one thing he showed possession by calling her my Kellyanne and then when he sent her back he says thanks baby Thanks baby Yeah That's horrible what kind of a misogynist pig are we dealing with here? It's unpresidential I tell you it's crazy And don't you dare talk to your wife like that No no no God forbid Don't call your kid pumpkin either Alrighty. These hearings were funny, and as you pointed out in an ironic way it was really an opportunity for a lot of these senators to be incredible douchebags just to be A-holes And top on my list was Elizabeth Warren with she was he was talking to DeVos is that right? Sorry

2:15:06 Pocahontas. I'm sorry, Pocahontas yeah exactly uh was talking to uh DeVos i think is her name and she would be the education secretary and um she's a multi-billionaire you know she comes from a very wealthy family big supporters of the republican party she certainly It's true, she does not have a lot of experience if any experience with the schooling system. But there are some things that Elizabeth Warren says which really go way too far and it is just crazy but her whole point is to embarrass this woman I don't know why she has been chosen or if she has qualifications I presume the idea is to get rid of the Department Of Education which a lot people don't know That only started in what? 1980

2:15:53 It's pretty new. Yeah, we didn't have it before then and seems like since we've had the Department of Education education has become unaffordable and shit. So You know, maybe it's maybe she just to be there to shut it down. But Elizabeth Warren had to just just be a dick about it. I'd like to ask you about your qualifications for leading the nation on higher education. The Department of Education is in charge of making sure that 150 billion dollars that we invest in students each year gets into the right hands and that students have the support they need to be able to pay back their student loans

2:16:31 The Secretary of Education is essentially responsible for managing a trillion dollar student loan bank and distributing $30 billion in Pell grants to students each year. The financial futures of an entire generation of young people depend on your department getting that right. Now, Mrs. DeVos do you have any direct experience in running the bank? Senator, I do not. Uh-huh? Do you have... Have you ever managed or overseen a trillion dollar loan program? I have not How about a billion dollar loan program? I have not Okay! So no experience in managing a program like this how about participating in one? I think it's important for the person who is in charge of our financial aid programs to understand what its' like for students and their families who are struggling to pay for college

2:17:20 Mrs. DeVos, have you ever taken out a student loan from the federal government to help pay for college? I have not Have any of your children had to borrow money in order to go to college They have been fortunate not too Uh huh Have you had any personal experience with Pell Grant Not personal experience but certainly friends and students with whom I've worked So you have no personal experience with College Financial Aid or Management of Higher Education And so of course what she's trying to point out is, you know... You're rich. Your kids are rich. You don't know what you're talking about but she keeps asking do you have any experience with running a bank? Do you know anything about running a bank?! Now let's look at the Secretary of Education who was just leaving John B King Jr. Well the guy before him is even worse! None of these guys have experience with banks none of them none of them So it's an unfair line of questioning

CHAPTER 37 / 48 Discussion

Bernie Sanders, Oligarchy and Campaign Contributions

Senator Bernie Sanders challenged Betsy DeVos during her confirmation hearing regarding her family's massive contributions to the Republican Party. Sanders framed the appointment as a move toward an "oligarchic form of society" where billionaires control political life.

bernie sanders· betsy devos· oligarchy· republican party· wealth

2:18:18 Well the most unfair line which I have the clip of is Bernie Sanders going after this. I have this clip too, but okay We'll play your version that's fine. This is how it should be yeah? I've heard the number was 200 million does that sound in the ballpark now Let me play my clip mine's better It has a setup. I don't know what you shouldn't take that stuff off its I like to set up was funny Yeah You got some you get some hang-up with these setups Yeah, I noticed that you did earlier today. You know why? Because there's a lot of people who are just coming in and they need reiteration about what...and just to understand... Well here is the word my thinking is the following. Mm-hmm. I'm trying to keep these clips short because they've been going too long both of us. The clip should be 10 seconds. Okay Mrs. DeVos There is a growing fear I think in this country that we are moving

2:19:09 toward what some would call an oligarchic form of society. Where a small number of very, very wealthy billionaires... I think this is important. ...control to a significant degree our economic and political life. Would you be so kind as to tell us how much money your family has contributed to the Republican Party over the years? Senator first of all thank you for that question again pleased to meet you in the office Why is she thanking him?! That's just form. Senator, as a matter of fact I do think that there would be that possibility. I've worked very hard on behalf of parents and children for the last almost 30 years to be a voice for students and empower parents to make decisions on behalf of their children primarily low income children. Thank you. He's just trying to shame her

CHAPTER 38 / 48 Discussion

Al Franken and Rick Perry, Confirmation Hearing Humor

Senator Al Franken's attempt to grill Rick Perry during his confirmation hearing resulted in a humorous exchange. After Franken asked an "asshole question" about whether Perry enjoyed meeting him, Perry's witty response was noted as a potential "Saturday Night Live" soundbite.

al franken· rick perry· confirmation hearing· proficiency· saturday night live

2:20:34 You're rich. I mean, no one ever talks about Buffett or Gates or any of these rich guys." And then the final one that I have is what I think was the funniest because here you have THE guy who has a career in comedy who Is always out to put people down. He's very very good at he's always trying to put you down I'm talking about Al Franken governor yeah, this is a good clue and this is with Rick Perry Whoever all right? Yeah, I have a clip of Frankie with that same woman Oh well Let's do that one first and then I'll do Rick Perry let me see Frank okay Alright, I didn't get that one.

2:21:26 And I've advocated growth as the chairman and every member of this committee knows because with proficiency, teachers ignore the kids at the top who are not going to fall below proficiency. They ignore the kid at the bottom who no matter what they do will never get to proficiency so i've been an advocate for growth But it surprises me that you don't know this issue. Oh, yes. Everyone's out to get everybody. Shame shame shame shame on you! So of course Franken was ready to really give it to... By the way before we go on should I maybe explain what proficiency growth debate is? Please do

2:22:08 And it's bullcrap, by the way. If you look up and try to find anything on it... I don't know maybe everyone is arguing about somewhere in the testing mode? I have no idea but it just refers to tests for proficiency which is what all of the testing has been doing or test for growth, meaning growth toward proficiency. In other words how much have you moved along? How much have you improved so that you get tested on how much you improve not on how much or can do. It's like the Montessori system I don't know anything about the Montessori system Oh the Montessori schools it's all about your personal progress Don't worry about the world Yeah well thats what proficiency is and thats what growth is in this debate Im stunned you dont know about this

2:22:55 Oh, can you believe that? That's crazy. So Franken is ready to pull Rick Perry apart and he is very rude right off the bat tries to put Perry on his back foot And Perry just had none of it. I thought this was Rick Perry, who I've met on the airplane. Remember South Blue? He's goofy! He's a goofy guy but this was funny. Governor, thank you so much for coming into my office Did you enjoy meeting me? See that's an asshole question Did you enjoy meeting me? I mean what is he trying to, what do you think that is it. You're right that's a total A-hole question He's trying to start off by just putting him on the wrong foot there Governor thank you so much for coming into my office did you enjoy meeting me? I hope you were as much fun on that dais as you were on your couch Well

2:23:53 May I rephrase that, sir? Please. Please! Oh my lord... Well, I think we found our Saturday Night Live soundbite. Whoa you got butt-slammed! That was good Yeah, I'll give you a borderline. I didn't hear that and missed it. Take it Very fun And that's pretty much all that was worth worth playing But I thought it was uh, I thought it was funny. Yeah, no, I guess they've confirmed Who have they confirmed? Mattis they've confirmed yeah mattis got confirmed That wasn't no brainer there not gonna not confirm him right right well we'll see what happens All right

CHAPTER 39 / 48 Discussion

Credit Score Volatility, Comenity Bank and Pier 1

A host describes a sudden 90-point drop in their credit score caused by Comenity Bank's acquisition of Pier 1 credit accounts from Chase. The "unintended consequence of technology" resulted in old accounts appearing as new openings, negatively impacting credit ratings for many consumers.

credit score· equifax· comenity bank· pier 1· chase bank

2:24:53 I was going to say, I had something happen to me yesterday which is worth mentioning as it's not big enough for a tech news segment but it is about technology the unintended consequences of technology. As you know I'm always on that and here's what happened you know that I had an incredible credit rating problem when I was going to go and get the Airstream of Consciousness. Because I've always had debit cards, and I don't care. And I'd been out of the country and never built up credit. As you can recall, I think it took about six months and they got credit repair companies and all kinds of people working on it until finally got my credit. And I was up... I'll tell ya, I was at like 750 or something. I'm like whoa! Look at me. And I get a... I get an alert

2:25:42 Your credit score has been affected. Burp burp burp burp. Oh geez, okay go take a look and I'm alarmed because it says your credit now I'm at 6... 670. I've gone down 90 points or so. But you what'd you do? Stiff somebody? No! And this is like a fair rating, you know? This is not good. I'm like what's happening and on the report it said ah well you opened up a new account with Comenity Bank Pier 1 and when you do that initially your credit rating goes down set right there on the report but as you use that account and as you pay that in time your credit rating will go back up. Oh my god! I didn't know... What?! Yeah oh yeah this says it in the report

2:26:23 for Equifax, it's Equifax specifically. This is a scam bar excellence that people put up with. But this was an unintended consequence of technology so first of all I'm like oh crap someone's open an account in my name this is going to be a problem. I do not want to have to go through this So I look around and of course the number one recommendation is call the people who run the credit system, this Pier 1 which is a store you know. And tell them so I call up And they answered, oh here's what going on. I did not open a new account yet here you are she says hold on a second and he said okay yeah what's the address? And i give her the address and then said do you want to add a phone number to that account? I said no did you hear what I said? I didn't open the account! What are you talking about?! I want this closed because someone is doing this!! He said well Mr Curry here's what happened um... You actually opened an account in 2011

2:27:26 at a different address in Austin. I'm like, oh okay yeah it might have you know maybe Christmas went into pier one week moment yeah i'll take your 10% discount sign up for the stupid card. Oh I never do that! But again this is six years ago...I don't have this card I don't know what happened to it..i'm not you know nothing um here's what happened Chase Bank used to do all of the credit for Pier 1. They sold that business to Comenity bank who then said, oh we have all these new accounts boom it shows up as a brand-new account opened on January 11th and your credit gets screwed. What's the name of this bank? Comenity. C O M E N I T Y. Comenity. What a crazy name for a bank! Yeah

2:28:15 So in other words, they sold this thing off and so it says they're processing the... They're new accounts. As they are absorbing the other banks accounts, it crops up as a new account? A new opening! Yeah and it screws my... I'm sure lots of people had this. Yeah, I guess This is bullcrap. Yeah, well it's unintended and I don't think people realize it. I saw it! I see what happened It's just one of those things like wow you know this is not good because it's only gonna get worse Wow yeah that was a worthwhile story Interesting draft legislation in the European Union Parliament which

CHAPTER 40 / 48 Discussion

European Union, Robotics and AI Personhood Draft

The European Parliament is considering a draft report that would grant "electronic person" status to sophisticated robots. The proposal includes a mandatory "kill switch," a code of ethical conduct for engineers, and specific licensing rules for users to prevent psychological or physical harm.

european union· artificial intelligence· robotics· electronic person· kill switch

2:29:00 I think they're going to be voting on, I've seen the draft of the draft in the show notes at 8 9 or 7.noagendanotes.com this is regarding artificial intelligence robotics and you know a smart technology in general for the future in the European Union And finally for us, it's like a scene out of a sci-fi thriller. Members of the European Parliament will soon cast their votes on whether to legally grant robots electronic persons status According to the EU draft report The idea behind this is actually to ultimately protect humans from more sophisticated future bots RTs Peter Oliver has this one for us

2:29:39 A European Union parliamentary committee has set forward a report that's been approved that could see robots gain legal rights or certainly legal status within the European Union as electronic persons. It seems that some EU lawmakers may have been paying lot of attention to last year's HBO smash Westworld, but this is for real! Fort outlines rules on how robots would interact with human beings. It was put forward by the Luxembourg MEP Maddie DeValere, now she came up with some brilliant quotes I'll give you just a few but she's very keen on this she says that it would be the threshold of a new era that we stand upon and that mankind was set to unleash a new industrial revolution well

2:30:28 Well, for those of you who are a little worried about the potential for artificial intelligence to go too far and maybe seen far too many of the Terminator movies. To stop things going Skynet all robots and artificial intelligence would have to be equipped with what's called a kill switch to stop any rogue robots from going off their programming also the definition in and categorization of artificial intelligence would have to be enshrined in law. Lawmakers saying that this would make it easier for the development of future AIs, also saying that this isn't designed to replace humans in the workplace but maybe but essentially for robots to work alongside human beings in order to take things to the next level essentially although there will also be a charter that all

2:31:17 robotic designers will have to sign up to because, and this is the best quote in the whole report. You must never think that a robot is human that he loves you or that he is sad. I have this report. Who makes him think robots are he? Thank you very much how incredibly misogynistic is that totally! Do you want hear a bit of this code of ethical conduct for robotics engineers and by the way the robot should be an idiot I agree. Yes, i want to hear this The Code of Conduct invites all research and designers to act responsibly and with absolute consideration for the need of respect the dignity privacy and safety of humans The code asks for close cooperation amongst all disciplines in order to ensure that robotics research is undertaken In the European Union a safe ethical effective manner Whoa It covers all research and development activities in field of robotics Is voluntary but offers a set of general principles and guidelines And actions to be taken by all stakeholders

2:32:16 Um, researchers in the field of robotics should commit themselves to the highest ethical and professional conduct and abide by the following principles. Here we go! Benef- Benef- oh man, what is this? Benif- beneficence. Beneficent. Beneficents. Beneficence. Beneficence. And robots should act in the best interests of humans Non malfeasance the doctrines of first to do no harm whereby robot should not harm a human autonomy The capacity to make an informed uncoerced decision about the terms of interaction with robots, and justice – fair distribution of the benefits associated with robotics and affordability of home care and health care robots in particular. Fundamental rights Robotics research activities should respect fundamental rights and be conducted in the interest of the well-being of humans and individuals and society in their design implementation dissemination and use Human dignity both physical and psychological is always to be respected

2:33:13 And then they go into inclusiveness. Robotics engineers guarantee transparency and respect for the legitimate right of access to information by all stakeholders. Inclusiveness allows for participation in decision-making processes by all stakeholders involved or concerned by robotics research activities." They really want everyone to have their code open, transparency... you have to show what they're doing, you have to monitor it's not going to be a fun field to work in with all these rules No. And everything else are going to have be expert consultants, but he'll be the middleman. But what this report and that was from RT by the way missed is there is a final provision in this report and it regards licensing you will need a license to be a part of this. An here are the terms of the license. This is not...this is bullet points as not its outline is not the actual terms Wow! Yeah wow is right John licensed for users

2:34:11 You are permitted to make use of a robot without risk or fear of psychological or physical harm. You should have the right to expect the robot to perform any task for which it has been explicitly designed. You should be aware that a robot may have perpetual cognitive and actuation limitations, you should respect human frailty both physical and psychological and emotional needs of humans. You should take the privacy rights of individuals into consideration including deactivation video monitors during intimate procedures." You are not- What? You should take the privacy rights of individuals into consideration, including... What are they gonna have a sex robot is that what we're talking about?! Including the deactivation of video monitors during intimate procedures. I guess you are not permitted to collect use or disclose personal information without the explicit consent of the data subject that would be a human and you're not permitted to use a robot in any way that contravenes ethical illegal principles and standards and you are not permitted to modify any robot to enable it to function as a weapon

2:35:11 Oh, what's the good of that then? What's a drone?! Yeah! It's a weapon. Is it a robot? And this thing is pages and pages and pages. Congratulations European Union there's your future. Yeah no kidding. That was bad. Well that was a good find. Do one more and then we can do our over $50 donors I think they're ready for us. Uh yeah I got something hold on Well, of course everyone saw I don't want to play this but it's part of the people should go find it track it down. It's the Matt Walsh diatribe? I don't know about this Oh, this is a guy who came out of the face bags I think But it was this guy he's a bearded guy and he's in his car doing a rant

CHAPTER 41 / 48 Discussion

Matt Walsh, Viral Parody of Identity Politics

A viral video by Matt Walsh parodied modern identity politics and "outrage culture." The rant, which featured a man "literally shaking" after being called "sir" at a grocery store, was mistaken for a real event by some social media users who failed to recognize the irony.

2:36:04 And but he's a bearded big bulky looking guy and you can play a little bit of it, and then people go Track it down because it's filled with a bunch. It's an ironic bullcrap is tall I think I saw I think I know what this is I've seen this thing yeah shock Yeah, I am in shock right now. I was just at the grocery store buying some vegan hummus That's where I was already out All hummus is vegan. It actually gets better even though he's telling it in a telegraphy. All hummus is vegan, all hummus... From that moment on I'm like this is bogus. Or my environmentalist club needs me. Topic's bogus? What?! Yeah! I mean it's totally bogus but there's-it's a parody of what we are hearing to a lesser extent. He just puts it all together and packages it. Just do a little bit. It's funny! Yeah it is! Do a little bit. I am in shock. I am in shock right now

2:36:56 I was just at the grocery store buying some vegan hummus for my environmentalist club meeting. And i'm checking out and the cashier hands me the receipt and says, have a good day sir! Have a good day sir!! and I stopped dead in my tracks, and i say excuse me? And I'm literally shaking and I can barely stand. And I'm screaming at him, excuse ME?! How do you know that I identify as a man how do you know that I identify as a sir did you even ask you privileged white cishet bigot! Watch your uterus! I'm gonna show myself old by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could deal with us oh yeah that'd be fab

2:37:45 Funny thing about that clip, someone posted the video in the No Agenda Facebag group. There were a number of people who actually thought it was real did not see the irony of it I like the line he has afterward when he calls the guy out and says, He's obviously not college educated. Because that is the most ironic line. That's the one! That's exactly it. I hear ya. It was just like if you're college educated then you would know better.

World Economic Forum, Davos Refugee Simulation

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, elite attendees like Richard Branson participated in a "Day in the Life of a Refugee" simulation. The event was criticized as being in poor taste, occurring alongside expensive limousine transfers and $130 meals for the global elite.

davos· world economic forum· john kerry· richard branson· refugees

2:43:25 And please tweet out anything when you receive it. Tweet it out to us, we love retweeting that stuff." Yeah, thats nice. So Davos is going on? Yes! Davos, Davo however you want to say it. Finally, finally yeah Davo. It's got-it's finally over there was just a bunch of speeches and these guys seem like wrecks. It has been pretty lame this year didn't they? Yeah very lame I have two clips The one just had a little tidbit in it that I thought, I gotta find this the Kerry speech. Because we had all our douchebags are over there giving speeches because of this guy who's... This is the Kerry comment

2:44:07 Just listen to this clip and there's a little tidbit in here that I have to we have to track down. And the Trump is posing they have a vision, We don't have a vision in Europe. Davos is split in the old guard establishment corner folks like John Kerry warning Trump won't even last two years That's right The same establishment who said that Donald wont even win the election Right. Yeah, that's the clip I had on Sunday you have that dude did yeah Trump bolt last two years? Yeah This is the clip there are a lot of people here mr Secretary don't believe that um Let me take around for instance if the United States were to decide suddenly and say hey We're not gonna pursue this and so forth. I'll bet you I haven't talked all of them But I'll bet you that

2:44:50 Our friends and allies who negotiated this with us will get together, and that Russia, China, Germany, France and Britain will say you know what? This is a good deal. We're going to keep it. And Iran and the rest of them they will keep it. And we'll have made ourselves the odd person out. We'll have injured our own credibility in conceivably irreparable way. And it will hurt for the endurance of year or two years whatever while administration's there But it's unnecessary because... Remembered now? You remember it now, right. Yeah that's yeah The reporting is a little harsher than what he said The only reporting came from RT. But let's listen to this part, this I thought was really creepy. This is the... And when they showed this they talked about this little event they have where you know when you go on these sorts of gatherings they always have events. You can go shooting, go fishing and go skiing and do all these different things but then this one here is a little off-the-wall and that when they showed it did the first guy signing up for this was Richard Branson. Did not deter visitors

2:45:53 Dining's pricey too with a basic three or four course meals costing 130 bucks. That's before any wine is involved There are couple of limousine services operating there as well Airport transfer setting you back over 500 bucks If you need some fresh air, well a discounted ski pass comes in at $70 a day Now if the delegates grew tired of the lavish surroundings, they had a chance to try a more humbling experience called A Day in the Life Of A Refugee. The hour-long simulation allows people to apparently see what refugees endure when fleeing conflict

2:46:29 Although for a lot of people it's in pretty poor taste. No, I don't maybe there was only an hour this is experience Wow our wow douchebag and his rants And I can see it talking well. You know I went through this experience You know where it was like being a refugee It was pretty frightening is douche bag is douche bag Disneyland is what it is crazy A-holes oh, I like that do you say he's needlehead yeah

CIA Declassified Files, Syrian Pipeline History

Declassified CIA documents from 1983 reveal that U.S. interests in the Middle East were heavily tied to the Syrian closure of the Iraqi pipeline. The memo suggests that the U.S. needed to use "real muscle" against Hafez al-Assad to protect regional resource transport.

Syria continues to maintain a hammerlock on two key US interests in the Middle East colon Syrian refusal to withdraw its troops from Lebanon ensures Israeli occupation in the south

2:49:36 And Syrian closure of the Iraqi pipeline has been a key factor in bringing Iraq to its financial knees, impelling it towards dangerous internationalization of the war in the Gulf. Diplomatic initiatives to date have had little effect on Assad who has so far correctly calculated the play of forces in the area and concluded that they are only weakly arrayed against him If the US is to rein in Syria's spoiling role And remember, it's about the Iraqi pipeline. It can only do so through exertion of real muscle which will pose a vital threat to Assad's position and power." Who was... Was that Reagan? Must have been Reagan 83 right? Yeah! So we've just been after that guy for a long time. That's his dad right I guess that was the older Assad? The yeah the guy- Right! And that guy wasn't a-hole. That one guy was a total douche but still if you see here it's about resources

2:50:33 No mention of... It was not about resources, it's about moving resources. Moving resources? Yeah, move transports. Transport! It's about transport. Yes, transport. So this is what a treasure trove stuff Oh yeah, it looks like a lot of stuff but I'm stuck with these flying saucer memos. Well if I'm sorry about that we'll have to work on it. Send it to me and I'll take over for you You want to close it off? Because a 10 minute warning, I should have played it but we're good to go here man. Well I still have to do the Samantha Power thing Yeah let's wrap it up No we can do that! I wanna wrap it up now because she'll be gone and won't hear from her after this. Okay so this is Samantha Powers Ambassador To The United Nations for the United States Yeah I broke this into three pieces just to bitch about what she's saying cause what she's doing is reiterating the bullcrap memes

CHAPTER 46 / 48 Discussion

Samantha Power, Russian Aggression and Chemical Weapons

Outgoing UN Ambassador Samantha Power claimed that Russia showed "aggression" by standing by while the Syrian regime used chemical weapons. The segment disputes her timeline and narrative regarding the 2013 "red line" incident and the subsequent Russian-led chemical weapon disposal.

2:51:19 that we're stuck with and we can't get rid of even though we've disproven these memes, that they're nonsense. But the system of news that's out there will take... They take and use these I don't know even why they do it but they do it just to put yourself in a position kind of I guess strategy where you're above it all or you know best, but here's Samantha Powers. She is being interviewed by Judy Woodruff. You used as one of your examples Russian aggression the fact that they stood by Syria repeatedly use the Syrian regime repeatedly use chemical weapons in the civil war. Oh crap! Yeah that's irksome

2:52:05 Well, the other thing is that little... Is that the end of that clip? Yeah. That's the end of that one. Okay, the thing that's interesting about this clip to me was besides the bull crap about them but the chemical weapons was Samantha Power says Russia is showing their aggression by standing by and doing nothing. Let's hear it again. You used as one of your examples of Russian aggression the fact that they stood by, as Syria repeatedly used... The Syrian regime repeatedly use chemical weapons in the civil war Yeah that's a good point Nice reporting Judy So aggression is standing by and doing nothing somehow

2:52:47 And that's what Samantha Power claims. So Russian aggression is Russia standing there with its thumb up its ass? That's aggression somehow, that's what she said right? Yeah I heard it right! Right right right right right I heard it right okay onward. Number two yet to in the Civil War. If that's the case, then how does that square with the decision by the Obama administration in 2013 not to have a military response? The red line when President Obama was seriously considering doing so and then didn't well, the regime when chemical weapons were used in 2013 before I before she gives her answer, I just want to I just have to roll this back for a second

2:53:35 The correct answer is President Obama had samples of the chemical weapons sent to a laboratory in the UK because he was ready to... people were gearing up. We had got, you know everyone's fueling planes were fueling boats we're getting ready And it came back, yeah no this is not anything like the Syrians have in their arsenal so it can't be from them. No press conference about it but that's why the red line did... and I give President Obama a lot of credit for that I really do. Well, you have to give a lot of it to Dempsey too because Dempsey apparently was really insisting he doesn't bomb Right and i think it's unfortunate uh for the truth moving forward that there was no admission publicly of you know this really isn't Assad No we just kept on with the bullcrap memes so I'm curious to see how Samantha... You can already hear Hemming and Hawing she knows the truth she knows the answer

2:54:30 President Obama was seriously considering doing so and then didn't. Well, the regime when chemical weapons were used in 2013 Russia was absolutely backing the Syrian regime at that time and we were denouncing of course the gassing more than a thousand innocent civilians and we denounced Russia's support for that regime When president obama came out said he was going to use military force That, as you know was what brought Russia forward to say hey wait maybe not that quite. Why don't we try something else? Maybe we can work together and take advantage of the fact that we could affect the benefactor or sponsor of this regime where if you don't use military force will work with you to destroy the chemical weapons program.

2:55:17 Well, that's one way of twisting it. Well she also says that at the time we didn't do the bombing because Russia was in full support. Russians didn't come into the picture until after they did that bomb disposal thing. Right which was Russia's way- So their timelines are wrong But Russia helped Obama with that Yeah no definitely definitely definitely but her timeline- Excuse me No, her timeline is way off but she's lying. I think she knows she's lying. Alright last one? Back to the lying And now, more lying on G100.

2:56:15 I mentioned the sequence specifically because, i think there is a misconception as we look back at that moment and the red line. You know people have very strong views about it but It was not the case that we had before us a set of targets that would have eliminated chemical weapons program in fact we had to stay miles away when we struck from the chemical weapon stores for fear causing terrible collateral damage to civilians and so forth Bullshit! Again, the reason they were going to do the bombing was to give a break to the rebels. You know? To move a little faster. It wasn't anything about blowing up the storage places where the chemical weapons are. No. She's just changing the whole narrative as she leaves office. Yeah... What is she gonna do? Do we know what she's gonna do? Her and Cass Sunstein
