About this episode

Federal Judge James Robart issued a nationwide temporary restraining order against the Trump administration's travel ban, leading to an immediate halt of the policy at major airports like JFK and LAX. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson successfully utilized the Parens Patriae doctrine to establish standing, arguing the state must protect its citizens and institutions from federal overreach. The legal challenge hinges on claims of religious animus, bolstered by television interviews where Rudy Giuliani discussed finding a legal path for a Muslim ban.

University of California President Janet Napolitano faces a national origin discrimination lawsuit for allegedly replacing 97 IT employees with lower-paid H-1B visa holders from India. Meanwhile, Professor Robert Reich claimed on CNN that violent riots at UC Berkeley were a right-wing paramilitary conspiracy, despite Congresswoman Val Demings describing the protests as a beautiful sight. In the media landscape, NBC faces criticism from the National Association of Black Journalists for replacing Tamron Hall with Megyn Kelly, while a Texas judge dismissed the defamation lawsuit filed by Ahmed Mohamed, the student known as Clock Boy.

Musician John Legend defended Hollywood's liberal bias to NPR, while veteran journalist Tom Brokaw warned activists that rage is not a policy. The etymology of vetting is traced back to 19th-century horse racing, and a viral video of a screaming professor was revealed to be a performance art piece by Rebecca Goyette. The episode concludes with a look at the Hater dating app and a geopolitical analysis of Super Bowl LI owners Robert Kraft and Arthur Blank.

Super Bowl LI Predictions, Robert Kraft and Arthur Blank

Predictions for Super Bowl LI involve a geopolitical analysis of the team owners. Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots is noted for his friendship with Donald Trump, while Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank is associated with Home Depot. Speculation suggests the "elites" might rig the game against the Patriots to spite the President.

00:00 Soylent Green is people! The distraction of the year is upon us once again and we're broadcasting live from the darkness corners of the internet here in downtown Austin, Tejas. In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where were all celebrating Super Bowl L MCD XXVL I'm John C. DeMora It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! In the mornin'! I wouldn't say were all celebrating it necessarily. In Northern Silicon Valley we are but i'm not talking about you Oh

00:41 No, I'm not celebrating this. I will watch! I'm excited about the game. I'm always excited about the game. There's also a game Yes, I'm excited about the television event of the year That's all I care about and what will Lady Gaga do? What will Lady Gaga do? Will she turn her podium into a platform for politics? Lady Gaga Lady Gaga Lady Gaga I think we have Lady Gaga practicing right now Sounds good She is ready So maybe we should get our pretty that's a good song Maybe we should get our predictions out of the way right off the top. That's a real toe-tapper it is All right, okay? Well you like prediction sure predict okay well my prediction of course was horribly wrong on the Precursor this is because obviously I had

01:46 forgotten to turn everything around now that Obama is no longer president. So things happen in a different order, but we have some interesting things going on here and of course we look at these types of games only from a geopolitical standpoint presuming they are all rigged... It turns out much better with soccer! Yeah soccer is much better to rig apparently and certainly with our predictions. We have two things here The owner of the Patriots is Robert Kraft and he and the quarterback Tom Brady are friends with the president. Now Arthur Blank, owner of the Falcons... He of course... Is he the founder of Home Depot? I don't know.

02:34 Could be. And you got to think he's probably not so happy with everything Trump is doing because, you know, Home Depot is pretty much ground zero for illegal immigrants to get work... Hang around! ...in the parking lot. Yes, the parking lot. So, I...you know that's a tough one. You gotta say the Patriots in this case. Patriots also you know that would be something Trump could use like, ah yeah patriots we're all patriots. Well since I believe that these things are rigged by the elites, I would have to go with the Atlanta team just based on what you just said. To screw with Trump?

03:17 Yeah, to screw with Trump and to make Brady and Kraft feel bad. And to kind of pat on the back you know the illegal alien hoarding Home Depot guy right? I'm going to agree with you that makes nothing but sense. Then from a perspective of someone who's actually a fan of the game hmm...I would say that Typically in these situations you have a team that is not plagued, but they have a number of major injuries which is the Patriots. They got Gronkowski their tight end isn't playing even though they get supposed to be together just as good it's not true and the other team, the Atlanta teams seems much healthier and just based on that you should give them the edge. When was the last time Atlanta won Super Bowl?

04:07 It's been a long time. Never, they've never won four. That was a long time see I'm spot on with my analysis. Patriots are like you know they won four and they've gotten They've been in it a lot so that means that's really an outstanding team So everyone just assumes because they're so well coached And they get the best quarterback in history maybe That they should win everything But they don't think they have Dave almost lost the last Super Bowl against Seattle Seattle screwed up and gave him the game but I don't think there that clutch So we'll see. Yeah, I have no more football talk. You kind of had me at the elites want to screw Trump and you had me there done Atlanta for the win! I just wanted to make it clear that i knew more about it than just that We all know that and we all know I know nothing about it Scouting Chowder Thomas's Hey, you know? I know nothing about it Well big news Saturday oh my

Federal Judge James Robart Halts Trump Travel Ban

Federal Judge James Robart issued a nationwide temporary restraining order against President Trump's executive order on immigration. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson argued the case, leading to an immediate halt of the ban at major airports like JFK and LAX. Media coverage has characterized the ruling as a "stunning blow" to the administration's policy.

travel ban· james robart· bob ferguson· temporary restraining order· executive order

05:03 I cracked open the web browsers and got all kinds of info coming in about the travel ban being subject to a temporary restraining order. And immediately, apparently—I don't know if this actually happened—all the news reports are that airlines would go, AHHHHH! Come on! That's good! No worries! Jump on! Homeland Security went, BAAAAAHHH! It's good come on in! At least that was how it was portrayed and I put some effort into understanding what happened Yeah, back- backgrounder. Background here this came out right and I'm all the ears on this one. Alright, backgrounder What could be a stunning blow to President Trump's travel ban? A federal judge at this hour... No stop! Stop! Yes Did she say it was a stunning blow? Stunning blow! Stunning! It's kind of like uh... BOTSFLIP!!!

05:56 What could be a stunning blow to President Trump's travel ban? A federal judge at this hour granting a Washington attorney general's request to immediately halt president trump's executive order on immigration nationwide. Okay, the Attorney General Bob Ferguson spoke just moments ago about his request for temporary block literally just finished speaking here is part of what he said. Literally. The short answer is yes. I want it very clear What the judge announced today was nationwide, the president's executive order does not apply. What's about to happen at JFK, at LAX, at O'Hare, at Hartsfield? I mean are they about to say no longer this can't be...I mean this now is the law of the land that they're going to go back to the way things were? Careful Aaron Burnett! Law of the land well you know it's a temporary restraining order doesn't mean there's a law of the land. Apparently again it's a restraining order it's the law of the land It's part of that sickness which is everything you don't like because it's unconstitutional man

06:57 You don't like mayonnaise on your french fries? No man, that's unconstitutional. This is part of it. It's the law of the land! It's code! No longer this can be... I mean this now is a law of the land that they're gonna go back to the way things were right now That's right! I like that! That's right! It's the law of the land! That's right. If they follow the ruling of the judge and federal judges... What was that? He almost said, he has a law of the land you mean? The land almost said it. Yeah! The land that they're gonna go back to the way things were right now

07:39 That's right. If they follow the ruling of the judge and federal judges have nationwide jurisdiction on constitutional matters, If this executive order is a legal nullity, as the lawyers say at the moment. It does not apply anywhere in the United States and that's where we are right now until an appeals court steps in. To understand what was going I would like to understand of course you hear Aaron Burnett there already and this lawyer almost repeating law the Temporary restraining order so, I have the I have the

CHAPTER 03 / 43 Discussion

Washington State Lawsuit, Religious Discrimination Claims

The legal challenge against the travel ban in Washington State focuses on claims of religious animus. Lawyers argue that despite the executive order not mentioning Islam, public statements and tweets from the campaign prove a discriminatory intent. A television interview featuring Rudy Giuliani, where he discussed being asked to find a "legal" way to implement a Muslim ban, is cited as key evidence.

washington state· aclu· religious discrimination· rudy giuliani· muslim ban· establishment clause

08:25 the opinion here from the judge, which indeed resulted in a temporary restraining order. And he bases it on... I have it here marked up in the show notes... The court finds that the states and this was a lawsuit primarily from Washington State or as you would say Washington state. The court finds the states have satisfied these standards and the court should issue a temporary restraining order what is that standard? Serious harm to the citizens in the state The states have satisfied the winter test, this is a reference to a previous case because they have shown that they are likely to succeed on the merits of the claims that would entitle them to relief. The states are likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief. The balance of the equities favor the state and the TRO temporary restraining order is in the public interest." And then there's some other legal stuff and then as one

09:19 term that is central to this temporary restraining order which I'll get to in a moment in the clip. But the temporary restraining order orders that federal defendants, all their respective officers agents servants employees attorneys and persons acting in concert or participation with them are hereby enjoined and restrained from enforcing section 3c of the executive order and enforcing section 5a of the executive order which is The actual meat of the executive order which countries The temporary travel ban applies to. I was lucky fortunate, I should say to find a video of the whole procedure with lawyers from Washington State and the ACLU. And this judge who...I didn't clip this part but he started off by saying well you know I'll have this ready in an hour-and-a-half and in case that then Ninth Circuit wants to check my homework so he was already planning on doing this for the moment he got it. This is a guy who wears his judge robes and has a bow tie

10:25 Yeah, a colorful bow tie. I don't this you know that's... I've never liked that look and i've never understood exactly what you're trying to say when you do that it's like I'm wrapped up like a gift or maybe That's a good one Or maybe I'm funny in private You know? I'm-I'm a douche up here Bow ties spin Yeah exactly Here we go! We'll start off with the lawyer, and I was curious as to what exactly are they basing this on? And this is going...I think this is a very interesting case because it for the first time as far as I know in general. It's probably true The reason why this temporary restraining order was handed out was because of the presidential campaign and specifically

11:19 The president's tweets. So let's get a little background quick Just a quick intro from this lawyer who can't be over 25 very young guy And he says well, yes This is what's going on with this executive order How does this ban discriminate in any way or violate equal protection when it's an across-the-board? Ban you're talking about as to refugees so Our claim about refugees is primarily that it is religiously motivated discrimination and that the order is in large part motivated by religious animus. That doesn't require us to show everyone harmed by the order is of a particular faith, It just requires us to show that part of motivation for issuing the order was religious discrimination

12:08 I found this very interesting. This is the one thing i was pretty sure this executive order was not because it's specific, doesn't even mention... there's no word in the order that says Muslim or Islam and it is a ban on total countries, yet this lawyer has argued successfully for this temporary restraining order that it was based on religious discrimination. Which...and I'm of course just a rookie attorney you know haven't you know just passed the bar um I think somehow that plays into discrimination uh here is the lawyer

12:46 explaining why this was actually a Muslim ban, which is what everyone has been saying. All the papers recited it and everyone says Muslim ban and how we have a lawyer who pleaded this successfully and got a temporary restraining order Do you not see some distinction between election campaign statements and then subsequently an election, and then an executive order which is issued with comment at the time the executive order is issued. This I have to say it sounds like the judge is setting the guy up just oh yeah I'll ask this court It's obvious that judge wants this so he's helping him Yes He Is! It seems to me there is a bit of reach to say

13:30 the president's clearly anti-Muslim or anti Islam based on what he said in New Hampshire in June. Well, your honor it might go to the weight to give you evidence I suppose but uh...I don't think its sort of off the table as especially given that we're only week into well two weeks now I suppose but the order was issued a week after the campaign well after the president took office inauguration after the inauguration I'm sorry And so it's not as though those are completely irrelevant. Moreover, there is... and again this is before any discovery we have the president's advisor saying on national television that the president asked him to come up with a Muslim ban after the election

14:12 Asked him to come up with a Muslim ban in a way that would make it legal. I don't remember this, but i'd love to have that clip where...I presume he's talking about Bannon? Maybe But an advisor- if anyone knows which clip that is we need to see where some advisor of the president who should be fired Said this like oh, yeah the pride I wouldn't has been something we would have played if I had heard this Yeah The president really wants a Muslim ban But he asked me to cover it up in something else doubtful and that's what they did And so so you know Giuliani. All right good Giuliani someone sent me a clip This is important as the executive order mentioned the word Islamic or Muslim It does not but but an advisor, I'm sorry

15:01 Giuliani's not an advisor. He's just a friend, technically Maybe at the time he said it he was an advisor I don't know It's irrelevant This is pointing towards this It is not your honor But when we're arguing about religiously motivated targeting Again the burden is not to prove that it affects every single person of Islamic faith The burden is to prove that a desire to discriminate based on religion was one motivating factor in the adoption of the order. And again, we're at the pleading stage four days after having filed our complaint

15:40 no discovery and there's already an overwhelming amount of evidence to suggest that that is the case, that it was at least in part motivated by religion. What do you say to the argument that seven countries that were designated I'll quote the language have been designated as quote countries the government which has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism under 8 U.S.C 1187 Wouldn't that provide a rational basis for the executive order? That would provide a cover in our view. That was maybe one motivating factor, but when you look at the standard of proving religious discrimination claim again you can just accept it face value stated purposes excuse me

16:31 Especially where again before there's even been any discovery There's so much evidence that it was not targeted at at the at the concerns stated. I mean the order applies to To infants it applies to senior citizens, it applies to Students and faculty at our state universities who've never been accused of any wrongdoing? Hey, I love this part of the argument which is really saying oh How can you be dangerous if your child or if your student, why don't you tell that to the TSA? Okay. The minute, okay I said okay. The minute the TSA stops, the moment Old ladies in wheelchairs, cheerleaders. Yeah then I'm okay with that but for now it's kind of specious The order applies to infants, it applies to senior citizens It applies to students and faculty at our state universities who've never been accused of any wrongdoing

17:24 The main point is the government saying you cannot look behind the stated reasons and we're saying that you can. The case law doesn't support that argument they are making. Oh, here it is. I got it. Here comes...I get it. It's only eight seconds we have here and... Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says Donald Trump asked him how to legally implement a quote Muslim ban when he first announced that he said Muslim ban He called me up. He said put a commission together show me the right way to do it legally There's no other evidence Douchebag

CHAPTER 04 / 43 Discussion

Parens Patriae Doctrine, States Rights Arguments

Washington State is utilizing the legal doctrine of Parens Patriae to establish standing, claiming the state must protect citizens and institutions like the University of Washington. This strategy effectively uses 10th Amendment states' rights arguments to oppose federal policy. Critics suggest that loose talk from administration associates like Giuliani is "sinking ships" in the courtroom.

parens patriae· 10th amendment· washington state· standing· due process

18:10 Good job, Giuliani. Femme douche. Yeah nice work. Yeah Okay so I wonder if he'd put him on any of these positions. The guy's a loud mouth! Yeah, and then the...so with the lawyer—and I have one final clip here—what the lawyer is arguing is that there was not enough time for discovery to understand why these seven countries were dangerous etc., Of course we know that these were actually chosen by President Obama but taking all this into account This is, I think Giuliani that's not circumstantial. That's an admission right there but of course there was tons of stuff about Muslim Muslim being tweeted etc and so therefore the state of Washington claims that they are in dire trouble

19:05 because this would damage the residents, citizens... Residents I should say. I would love to hear that part of the argument! Well here it comes. Our claim is not the state as state as we made clear in our standing brief our claim is the state as proprietor and the state as parents patria on behalf of people of the state That is the key right there Parents Patria which I actually I think that it's... You had to go look it up. Yeah, I did and we have it right here. It's parents patriae is the way I understand it to be pronounced Latin of course a doctrine that grants the inherent power and authority of the state to protect persons who are legally unable to act on their own behalf in other words yeah I'm just

19:54 I'm translating that in my own head, parents... It's like they're the parents. They are by default the parents of the poor schmucks in Washington State who apparently cannot fend for themselves." That's how I see that. And what does it got to do with bringing these refugees in? Ah okay. So the state as proprietor is the most obvious way that argument of theirs is incorrect your honor. are asserting the due process rights on behalf of the people of the state who are harmed and on behalf of the state institutions that they attend. So for example, University Washington and Washington State University as well as our community colleges are arms of the states very clear under state law their arms to the states we sue on their behalf and there students and faculty are being denied due process rights pursuant to this order and if you look at cases like Pierce versus Society Sisters 268 US 510

20:52 And the case is cited in footnote three of our standing brief. It's very clear that schools and universities have standing to bring challenges based on harms to their students, so that's the first way in which we have standing to bring a due process claim. Second, the snap decision, the case out of Puerto Rico cited in our briefing makes it very clear states can bring parents patriotic claims asserting discrimination sort of cause of action. There you go. It's very clear according to the lawyer that this will be hurting the citizens of Washington who cannot fend for themselves. And therefore... I love the fact that it was like, this is more or less an example of 10th Amendment powers. Yes

21:38 that these left, the guys who were all in for like let's just let everybody in and no borders no nations have to resort to get their there's to win their side of the argument. Yeah do they not see this? What did they resort to being weak and useless? No that they have to resort basis, the basic founding of the Constitution. There's the basic tenets like the 10th Amendment which is a states' rights amendment. And I believe it will be overturned! This is a state's rights case! Don't you love that?

22:16 Well, I do. It just proves the point that these guys are just... Interestingly, I don't think the 10th Amendment was necessarily mentioned in this hour and a half or what? Well you don't have to mention it's implied. You don't have to mention it. Right. But as a... It's not like a 10th Amendment case. It's also not part of their plea. They're pleading under something else under discrimination. Yeah but it's still a states rights issue. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it'll be overturned though Well, that Giuliani thing doesn't help. Although that's third hand it may is not under oath is just some guy yacking away on a talk show I don't know how that you know whatever he says on the talk show. Let me tell you for this is one time where all these loose lips are sinking ships It was dumb from Giuliani and you

23:08 And you know, Trump is just showing off. Trump leaves a trail. I was asked because I'm a big expert and I want to brag about it. Let me tell you what happened behind the scenes. You peons don't know much about but imma tell ya this was not good. But all just in general that Trump leaves a trail. It's easy to go back and say here's what he said. Yeah. And I'm sure there's tons of Muslim stuff in his tweet feed that will play into this now at the same time actually before we get into sanctuary cities We need a jingle for sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities, just the two words themselves demand a jingle! I agree. Sanctuary Cities we do need something for that

Janet Napolitano, H-1B Visa Discrimination Lawsuit

University of California President Janet Napolitano faces a lawsuit alleging national origin discrimination regarding the H-1B visa program. The University is accused of replacing 97 IT employees at its San Francisco campus with lower-paid workers from India to save $30 million. This move contradicts Napolitano's previous stance as Homeland Security Secretary when she vowed to crack down on visa abuses.

janet napolitano· h-1b visa· university of california· india· outsourcing

23:53 This was a very interesting little tidbit from UC Berkeley. David Bowie song says change sanctuary, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I hear what you're saying maybe we should... Change your song. Why don't you choose a green day and maybe it'll work better for ya'. You know those kids are great. They're dynamite. And you mentioned, I think maybe the last episode or the episode before, where is Janet Napolitano? Where is Lucy? She's in charge of UC Berkeley. She's the one that should be making things happen there at the big ruckus that went on. But it turns out she's pretty involved in the HB1 visa scam. Robert Harrison is suing The University Of California and President Janet Napolitano for giving his job to a lower paid worker

24:42 on an H-1B visa. Do you have any opinions on the H-1B visa program? Our top obligation are to American workers, making sure American workers have jobs. Eight years ago as Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano vowed to crack down on H-1Bs and today she's accused of abusing them but with growth comes new financial challenges. As UC president Napolitano is replacing 97 tech employees at its San Francisco campus with foreign workers actually sending our jobs highly skewed jobs to India the university hopes to save 30 million dollars by paying Indian labor 75% less than US workers I got

25:20 You see, one is a bill for my daughter to get the other's layoff notice. Nguyen and others are suing because they're US citizens So in this case it's a national origin discrimination because they are taking a diverse workforce and replacing it only with people from one country to India. The university says outsourcing is necessary to reduce the growth rate of IT expenses, but in a letter to Napolitano fellow Democrat Congresswoman Zolaffgren says Congress never intended the H-1B program be used to undercut wages for domestic workers or facilitate the offshoring of US jobs However that's exactly what they think it was gonna be used for and they knew what it was gonna be used for I knew that

26:09 But how about Janet Napolitano? And I think in that case, it does qualify as discrimination because it's replacing people with people from one particular area. That seems like discrimination. Seems like to me. Yeah. Just cheap workers all about getting people on the cheap when you already have somebody doing the job. Hey, I picked up a couple of fabulous little clips CNN has gone full retard and you know that's a no-no if you remember your movies. I don't know what you're talking about? Oh, this is... It was the platoon takeoff movie and we were talking about how- Stripes! No not stripes Was it one with Robert Downey Jr where he played a black guy playing a white guy or what was it like a white guy playing a black guy kind of playing a white guy? I don't know how he wasn't called out for being racist He's wearing blackface! Tropic Thunder, he was. Tropic Thunder Yes Yeah well they said Dustin Hoffman man

CHAPTER 06 / 43 Discussion

John Legend, Liberal Bias in Hollywood

Musician John Legend defended the liberal disposition of the entertainment industry in an NPR interview, claiming the best artists are naturally inclusive and global-minded. This sparks a discussion on Hollywood's double standards, specifically regarding Robert Downey Jr.'s use of blackface in the film Tropic Thunder.

john legend· hollywood· liberal bias· tropic thunder· robert downey jr

27:15 You never go full retard. You ever heard that? It's a great line. I saw the movie probably over, I didn't see it all at once. I saw it on an airplane part of it on the airplane and then I saw maybe the rest...I never sat down actually watched the movie. Oh! It's worth it. I did think Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of that black maniac was great but at the same time I was looking seeing him in blackface wondering why nobody is protesting this They can find a black actor to play a guy like that. Okay, well since you have brought this up I'll bring it in right now because that doesn't happen in the alternative universe John and its because of what Hollywood people are you see they stick together even though he may be in black face John Legend... You know who John Legend is? Yes

28:06 He's also annoying by the way, John. Yes! Hence his clip on The No Agenda Show he was on NPR talking about his fellow Hollywood brethren Q John legend clip hello there we go Gosh the whole thing is a larger cost for the entertainment world seeming like they're in one political camp Largely and you have a president who feels like It's sort of sort of paint. The entertainment world is as the enemy in a way well We've always been liberal musicians actors it's almost by disposition

28:44 uh... we deal with the gay and lesbian community all the time so we're going to feel like they should have a right to get married just like we do. We deal with people of all colors in our races and we travel different countries on the time to perform, So were going to have a more global view and a more inclusive view it's almost by nature uh... and by circumstance of things that we do America doesn't want to consume the art of people who are liberal-minded, there's not gonna be a lot of art for them to consume. As simple as that! Because the best artists most of them are liberal sorry There is some country artists I know they're conservative I have a lot of country artists that are friends and believe me some of them are liberal but They don't make a big deal out of it because they know it'll alienate their base. I'm telling you Most creative people are liberal

29:40 There you go, that's why. So when you're liberal... Talk about a bigoted comment! When you're liberal then you can do blackface, you see? That's how it works Yeah actually that's probably exactly the thinking And I would suggest- I'm okay, i can do blackface because im a liberal and I would suggest to Mr Lejeande that he should follow his country friends who are liberal and shut up That would help You know yeah exactly those guys don't make a big deal out of it That's right, you don't need to make a big deal out of it. So back to the full-on retard from CNN who have just gone all crazy man Robert Reich and you've probably seen this I think an email came to us both with this clip now

CHAPTER 07 / 43 Discussion

Robert Reich, UC Berkeley Riot Conspiracy Theories

Professor Robert Reich suggested on CNN that the violent riots at UC Berkeley, which canceled a Milo Yiannopoulos event, were orchestrated by right-wing agitators. Reich claimed the masked individuals were "paramilitary" outsiders intended to make the left look bad. These assertions are met with skepticism, noting the lack of evidence for right-wing involvement in the campus destruction.

robert reich· uc berkeley· milo yiannopoulos· agent provocateurs· breitbart

30:25 As I've been looking at the UC Berkeley video footage and other protests, you always see the same thing. You see if it's not in front... Tina saw them at the Austin march they're not usually up front but they're in the second row and they've all got hoodies on and black masks and they have backpacks for their gear and they look a little bit out of place And any NOA Agenda listener, producer who also views things will have noticed at Berkeley that people trashing the campus setting things on fire smashing windows were these same hooded guys. John Maass And I should mention just to back you up and know where are going other locals SF gate ran the story saying there were no actual students involved in this.

31:09 As Berkeley campus, unbeknownst to most people is 75% Asian. Yeah and they're all flying around the airspace too and you can't understand a word they're saying And you have...the only guy that...only one poor jerk-off was arrested and he happened to be a university employee So these are agent provocateurs and I'm going to point squarely at Soros for riling this up. Because these people did not show up at the airport, the airport demonstrations. That is ACLU This is some of the other groups and this is what Robert Reich professor at the University of California Berkeley What he concluded after seeing these non-students There's a violence that we saw this violence We saw it Berkeley we had alive here on CNN last night It ultimately does it plays right into the hands of the right wing white supremacist someone like Milo Yiannopoulos Oh stop okay stop

32:11 If you can call Milo a lot of things, especially coming from a black man Don Lemon is wrong. Show me where he has shown any white supremacy tendencies and this is part of the... just as I think CNN calls for no normalization of Trump his language how he handles things we can't normalize this. I'm going to say we can't normalize what you're doing Calling anybody you don't like out as a Nazi, a white supremacist. This is bordering on not okay and eventually someone's going to have a lawsuit because you can't just say these things if I was Yiannopoulos? I would be suing Don Lemon for saying that would I have a case yeah, I think so too I think I would have a slander case So he's gotta be careful all of CNN has to be careful being white supremacists Someone like Milo Yiannopoulos

33:06 It absolutely does, Don. And I'd want to be very very clear-I was there for part of last night and I know what I saw and those people were not Berkeley students Those were outsiders agitators They... I've never seen them before For you know there's rumors that they actually we're right wingers They were part of a kind of group that were organized and ready to create the kind of tumult and danger You saw that forced the police to cancel the event Of course they were right-wingers. Yes! That would be Reich. Ah, yes... Because the left never does anything like that As we know the Tea Partiers in particular are always rioting Here's Reich doubling down on his assertion You think this was a strategy by Yiannopoulos or right wingers? They put this on so they could uh in an effort to show or that you know... Fake news This is unbelievable

34:02 Do you think that Yanopoulos, Milo... was in cahoots. I've got an idea, let's go to Berkeley we'll get everybody all excited and then we'll trash the place! And it will be... Then we can say see lefties are horrible. No you don't need to set that up this is what is the truth there's no free speech on a college campus like UC Berkeley? I wouldn't bet against it Don. You know again I saw these people they were very they all looked very almost paramilitary They were not from the campus I've heard, you know... Again, i don't want to say factually but i've heard that there was some relationship there between these people and uh... the right wing. And the right-wing movement that is affiliated with Breitbart News. They call me a conspiracy theorist! Whoa!

Val Demings, Berkeley Protests as a Beautiful Sight

Congresswoman Val Demings of Florida described the protests at UC Berkeley as a "beautiful sight" during a committee hearing. While she framed the events as young people engaging in constitutional activism, critics point out the irony of celebrating riots that suppressed free speech.

val demings· florida· uc berkeley· riots· free speech

34:50 Yes, this is off the rails. Okay here's one of the rails it while you're interstitial clip yep This is a congresswoman You know did to show Reich that he's you know He's not paying attention to his own messaging done by his own side of the argument This is a congresswoman talking about how the Berkeley rats were a beautiful thing Which Congress woman? Is it do you know I Yeah, I do have her name Meanwhile an American congresswoman has dubbed Wednesday's protests at the University of Berkeley which turned very violent quote a beautiful sight They broke out shortly before a senior editor of the news website Breitbart was due to give a speech against so-called Sanctuary campuses which offer protection to undocumented students hold on a second. That's news sanctuary campuses I hadn't heard that one yes Yes

35:41 No, she says it was a beautiful sight. This is Val Demings from Florida. She's on the committee on oversight and government reform. We have seen demonstrations, and I think we've already talked about that around the country. Young people at Berkeley protesting against this unconstitutional order. And so as we encourage our young people to get involved—I thought it was a beautiful sight Yeah, that fits great. That's a beautiful sight. Riots against the planned event at the campus have raised concerns in the media over free speech. Some say the protests are somewhat ironic given that the university considers itself a beacon of the free speech movement

CHAPTER 09 / 43 Discussion

Marc Lamont Hill, Political Violence Comparison

CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill argued that intolerance and violence exist on both the left and the right. When challenged to provide examples of conservative campus riots, Hill pointed to historical attacks on abortion clinics and mosques. The debate highlights the difficulty in finding direct right-wing equivalents to the recent large-scale university property destruction.

marc lamont hill· cnn· political violence· extremism· abortion clinics

36:31 That was a good one. I like that John it's beautiful, and it was just beautiful to see everything burning. I love it I love the beautiful sight back to the and then she says the protests were about the Trump's again Just twisting on constitutional is about specifically about Milo Yeah unconsolating him off the campus right mark Lamont Hill The black man on CNN. Yeah, he gets himself in trouble. What did he say the last time there were dumb negroes? Mediocre. Mediocre negroes right. He started lining up a bunch of mediocre Negroes and these old heavy hitters

37:13 So so he propagates this and you can watch for this to accelerate that. This was right-wing Troublemakers, and I forget who the other guess is there's an association thing here You got it also pay attention to they want desperately want to associate the Trump administration with Nazis Yeah brown shirts now. This is the kind of thing they do yeah exactly And that's what yeah exactly so Mark Lamont Hill tries to do that as well. And interjected by another guest on the show. One, I think we have to separate the institution from people out there. The University of California Berkeley didn't do anything wrong here they not only support free speech but they supported the college Republicans who brought him in or brought them in To...To do what? To fund it? To offer security They've spoken out against violent protests This is not an issue of free speech at the institutional level

38:11 bit inaccurate to say that this is a problem purely of the left. I think we have intolerance on the left and on the right, i mean i travel the college speaking circuit all the time in school and the right boycotts the rights letters, the right tells people not to let me in. Do they pepper spray people who want to come to your event? do they set things on fire? do they destroy property? do they flip over barricades tell me last time a bunch of conservatives went campus and acted this way because I would love to see the proof behind that. Well you know they don't always go to college campuses sometimes they blow up abortion clinics, sometimes they burn down mosques... That's not what we're talking about now your stretching! No no i'm not stretching i'm just trying to finish my point what i'm saying is that both sides have extremists and respond to disagreement violently so no it's not necessarily on a college campus although sometimes it isn't there have been right-wing riots on college campuses as well but the point is that both sides are saying

39:01 Let me finish, Ben. I'm not defending the behavior. I'm saying let's not pretend that only the left has violent forms of disagreement That is simply inaccurate here and i think what's even more troubling... Mark where? Tell me one example of where conservatives on a campus have done this One example! Well Ben, I am not trying to avoid your question as you keep interrupting so I just going get my other point And, of course he never actually answered the question because there is no example of that. Now here is an example of one of the rioters a young rioter... You know what I should have done? What you really wanted to have a great clip and it would've gotten clipped in the day if Mark Lamont Hill would've said yeah I'll give some examples Hitler! Yeah that would have been good.

Carter Carey, Anti-Trump Arson at Inauguration

Carter Carey, the son of comedian Drew Carey, was identified as a participant in starting a fire during the presidential inauguration protests. In a man-on-the-street interview, the youth stated he started the fire because he felt like it and wanted to express opposition to the President.

CHAPTER 11 / 43 Discussion

Tom Brokaw, Advice on Political Rage

Veteran journalist Tom Brokaw criticized the Berkeley rioters, stating that violence only solidifies the resolve of Trump supporters. Brokaw advised young activists that "rage is not a policy" and suggested they choose their battles more wisely. He specifically defended the judicial credentials of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch.

tom brokaw· msnbc· neil gorsuch· berkeley· activism

40:53 No, I disagree. I think he's probably proud! Proud? Oh yeah... oh come on. The little kid committed a felony for all practical purposes. I'm sure John Legend already called him. Hey man good work you and all us liberals in Hollywood we gotta stick together your kids are gonna be great liberal. Luckily MSNBC had a little bit of noise coming the other direction Tom Brokjaw was there And Tom is of course from the old school. He was surprised and a bit outraged looking at Berkeley, which was just short of anarchy in my judgment It was so reminiscent of what I was doing in 1966 67 68 has spent a lot of time on that campus I bet he was a troublemaker yeah, and they did in fact

41:40 help change the rules about student participation and so on. But the violence that you see here only feeds the beast, it will only solidify the Trump followers in saying these are not people I want to be associated with this is not how you respond and they are supposed to be our... They go to one of great universities in the world or privileged people at that university and they can't hear somebody who comes and has A message that is completely contrary to what anybody else wants to hear, but is allowed to speak that message on the campus. I think it's outrageous quite honestly and I think it is contrary to what they're attempting to do."

42:21 And to follow that up, he had some advice for the young people who might want to know what to do in this case when you have a horrible president. Well, a lot of young people come to me and say I'm just outraged by what's going on. I said rage is not a policy. That's my advice to them. You've got to figure out what you want to do. For example there's gonna be a big pushback about Judge Gorsuch on the part of the Democrats are gonna make that one of their testing places for them The fact is that this man has a very distinguished background in the judicial world. He has a doctorate from Oxford, he is... I have friends in the federal judiciary who don't agree with his philosophy but say there is not a better judge and the Federal Circuit right now than him so why pick that as a fight? Choose your battles is what Tom was saying wisely probably wisely did you know nobody's gonna pay attention to him they're gonna pitch it Schumer yeah you know the the tree the term is of course extreme vetting

CHAPTER 12 / 43 Discussion

Etymology of Vetting, 19th Century Horse Racing

The term "vetting" originated in the 19th century British horse racing scene as an abbreviation for a veterinarian's examination. The process of checking a horse's health before a race evolved into the modern usage of performing background checks on individuals.

vetting· etymology· horse racing· veterinarian· language

43:20 You know where vetting comes from? The word vetting. It's something to do with the cotton you stick in a pillow? No, no it stems from the 19th century horse race craze in Great Britain and Ireland. The verb to vet originated in the words usage as an abbreviation for veterinarian gives kind of extra twist when you think about it Yeah We're gonna treat like cattle Veterinarian Vetting Final one here, this is Nancy Pelosi just as it pertains to

CHAPTER 13 / 43 Discussion

Nancy Pelosi, Slander and Public Figures

Nancy Pelosi referred to Steve Bannon as a "white supremacist" during a press briefing regarding his appointment to the National Security Council. This leads to a discussion on the legal difficulty of suing for slander when the targets are public figures. The use of the term "douchebag" is also analyzed as a safer rhetorical alternative in legal terms.

nancy pelosi· steve bannon· white supremacist· slander· national security council

44:04 normalized speech and calling people things which I believe are quite slanderous. What's making America less safe is to have a white supremacist named to the National Security Council as a permanent member while the chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the director of national intelligence are told don't call us we'll call you, if you're no longer permanent members will call you when we need Whatever judgment they make about when they want them to come back This is it's a stunning thing that the white supremacist ban would be a permanent member of National Security Council Can she just say these things can you just go and keep saying that crap if so, if she I mean first of all There's no sort of immunity. If you're a lawmaker

44:52 Oh, that may be also very highly he's a public figure Yeah, which is always part of the problem and all see as big-time public figures so you can really abuse it yeah And there's a couple other reasons you can You can say that But well nuts she's not she's in that case I'm also asking for her friend to make sure that we're safe We call people a lot of things I don't think we've called anyone a Nazi or white supremacist. Douchebag, for sure! Yeah but see the problem with douchebag and I figured this out some time ago there's also a lot of... There is a lot of... We do have some limited liability but the douchebag thing i'v always thought was that which I believe was invented by some comic and it may even been Jon Stewart someone who popularized it Really? And it comes down to the idea that you would

45:51 And by the way, that's different than calling someone a criminal. That you can't do right? You cannot call someone in the criminal unless they actually are a criminal and even then if there any good they can sue you People should not call people criminals unless they were unless they were in jail or something happened like that right But the douchebag idea goes like this. So you decide to sue over being called a douche bag and you have to end up in court with the following kind of things going on, are you Mr Jones? A douche bag? Do you consider yourself a douche bag? No I'm not a douche bag well but it Why do you think these people are calling you a douchebag? Well, I don't know why they're calling me a douche bag. You would just be so embarrassed by the time the trial was over that you wouldn't be a douche bag. That would totally be something I'd be all in for just to have that happen. So no one is taking this to court because they don't want to be cross-examined and then they'll have witnesses coming up and saying yeah well i could call him...I would think he's kind of a douche bag. He's done some things that would be douche baggy

46:53 And it's not gonna work. You can't, that's not going to happen so you can call people douchebags. Now I'd like to move towards the newsletter it kind of fits in seamlessly here where you pointed out the quote-unquote NYU professor who went completely nuts and was quoted everywhere as the New York University professor who went completely nuts. I did pull the clip if you want to hear some of it for people who haven't seen it. She's yelling at the NYPD is what she's doing, they were in front one of the buildings.

CHAPTER 15 / 43 Discussion

Dick Tuck, Donald Segretti and Political Dirty Tricks

The history of political "dirty tricks" is explored through the career of Dick Tuck, who famously pranked Richard Nixon for decades. This legacy continued with Donald Segretti, who was hired by the Nixon administration to perform "rat fucking" operations against Democrats. These tactics included forging letters to sabotage the 1972 presidential campaign of Edmund Muskie.

dick tuck· richard nixon· donald segretti· watergate· rat fucking

50:05 Possibly. That's what I would do if I'd known about her or seen her stuff, you know? She seems good for sure she seems like yeah she's very talented and it reminded me as i put in the newsletter of Dick Tuck and then Donald Segretti Yeah tell me about dick tuck Well, Dick Tuck was the most famous of all the... Is that a real name? That can't be a real name obviously. Yeah yeah. Born 1924 former I'm gonna read from the thing is good stuff is in duck first met Richard Nixon as a student at University California in Santa Barbara 1950's working for Congresswoman Helen Gagin Douglas very famous she was running for seat in the US Senate against Nixon and this was an absent-minded professor I knew I was in politics forgot to rest asked me did advanced in Nixon vision visit

50:51 When Nixon came on stage, Tuck asked him to speak about the International Monetary Fund. When the speech was over, Nixon asked Tuck his name and told him Dick Tuck you've made your last advance and they got into a beef so Tuck became an enemy of Nixon And I think Helen Gahagan Douglas was a target of Nixon's too. And so here is some stuff he would pull, Tuck's most famous prank against Nixon is known as the Chinatown caper during his election campaign for governor in 62, Nixon who he lost by the way, Nixon visited Chinatown Los Angeles at the campaign stop but background of children holding welcome signs and English and Chinese was set up as Nixon spoke

51:34 An elder from the community whispered that one of the signs in Chinese said, what about the Hughes loan? A sign that was a reference to the unsecured $205,000 loan that Howard Hughes had made to Nixon's brother Donald. Nixon grabbed his sign and on camera ripped it up! Later Tuck learned to his chagrin that the Chinese characters actually spelled out What about the huge loan? After the first Chinese Nixon debate, Tuck hired an elderly woman who put on a Nixon button and embraced the candidate in front of TV cameras. She said don't worry son he beat you last night but you'll get him next time! This is just all subtle

52:17 Dick is credited with waving a train out of the station while Nixon was still speaking. Tuck has the time taken responsibility claiming Nixon up there talking and suddenly the crowd goes out like the morning tie, he arranged that crowds would disappear and set up a whole crowd then have them leave. He did, he borrowed a conductor's hat to get the train to go. He utilized Republican nominee's own campaign slogan against him. He hired a very pregnant African woman to wander around in Nixon rally in a predominantly white area wearing the T-shirt that said Nixon is The One. That name though! I mean that is possibly one of the better disc jockey names I've ever heard. Dick Chuck? Yeah. Well anyway... Everybody it's 10 minutes at 12, Dick Chuck with you here on the Mighty Z100

53:07 Nixon was so upset with this guy, and those were only a few of his gags. So he hired this guy, Segretti was hired by Dwight Chapin who is Nixon's guy to run a campaign of dirty tricks which he called rat fucking against the Democrats with his work being paid for by Herb Kolumbek, Nixons lawyer from presidential campaign re-election funds. A law requiring contributors be identified even though we covered up the money Segretti's involvement in the Canuck letter typifies tactics Segretti and others working with him used, forcing a letter ascribed to Senator Edward Muskie which maligned the people language and the culture of the French Canadian and French Canada and the French Canadians causing this soon-to-be Democrat presidential candidate Muskie considerable headaches in denying the letter having to continue dealing with the issue. This is the year that Muskie was going be the vice president I believe any ended up crying in public

54:01 I don't remember any of this. There's all this crazy stuff that was going on in the 60s and 70s A notable example of the wrongdoing was a fake letter on Democratic president, on Muskie's letterhead falsely alleging that US Senator Henry Scoop Jackson, a fellow Democrat had an illegitimate child with the 17 year old So I mean, these guys were doing this stuff. This was, I think continued in subtle ways...I think that letter that got Dan Rather fired from CBS, I believe it was a part of that whole cabal and this kind of thing- I don't believe for a minute this doesn't continue although now you've got the guy who's Alex Jones' buddy Stone Roger Stone is one of these guys

54:52 Yeah, oh totally. He's totally a dick tuck yeah he's a dick tuck and there's no doubt that Hillary had a bunch of them but they're all you know they weren't as talented I don't think or these people are still out there now No what's the Hillary's dick tucks? They actually had shame so you have to be shameless To be a true dick tuck You gotta not care And i think Stone doesn't care I think he doesn't care In fact in 1974 I read this in 1974 Segretti pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor counts of distributing illegal forged campaign literature and was sentenced to six months in prison. Excellent, yeah well there's thugs everywhere and Stone is definitely one of them what always... As long as you still keep seeing Stone and I saw him the other day on some talk show you know something's going on

European Protests, Anti-Trump Sentiment in London and Paris

Thousands of protesters marched in London and Paris against President Trump's travel ban, using slogans like "Theresa the Appeaser" to criticize Prime Minister Theresa May's relationship with the U.S. administration. The protests reflect international condemnation of the policy, which critics label a "Muslim ban."

london· paris· theresa may· travel ban· protests

55:46 What I don't understand is the civics knowledge of these university kids who keep calling people Nazis. Of course, Nazis were the social democrats they were on the left! They were the left so... You know, I don't understand how well not as much when a Nazi Nazi fascist II when the fascists first began They were an intellectual movement People should look into it. It started in the 20s Yeah And it was considering until there was an intellectual movement that came out of the colleges after World War one

56:25 Yes, I believe so. Yeah yeah that's when that anyway and it started in Italy It's also in a weird way even though the you know even though Hank was Hank Reardon is effectively the president It feels a lot like Atlas shrugged it really does people like no we had no nations No borders got to be fair to everybody You know even though that is not the government which is Exactly. Meanwhile in Euroland, all over Euroland there were protests this weekend against President Trump and his Muslim ban. Clutching banners bearing slogans such as Teresa the appeaser and make America think again thousands of protesters have marched through central. Well Teresa the appeaser is of course a throwback to Chamberlain Is that not Chamberlain who had the strategy of appeasement with Hitler?

57:21 Yeah. So this is another Hitler reference? Yeah, Teresa the appeaser now that you know that you mentioned it thousands of protesters have marched through central London US President Donald Trump's travel ban has sparked international condemnation a petition calling for the leader to be prevented from making an official state visit to the UK has garnered over 1.8 million... Oh my god, they hire people that talk like this? I think so. Signatures... I think people worldwide are disgusted at Trump They think this is totally unjustified After all this is a ban on Muslims from seven countries Four of which have been bombed and occupied by American troops This is another new one that I'm reading everywhere

58:13 Do you think it's a coincidence that four of those seven countries, we bombed the crap out of them? I'd just like to point out that France and UK and NATO was involved certainly in Libya. The French are involved in Syria So, you know be very careful what you say. Blame Trump? Yeah, be very careful what you say, Limey! So people feel it is against civil liberties and human rights and it will increase racism It will also in my opinion increase terrorism Around a thousand people also marched through the center of the French capital to demonstrate against Trump's executive order

CHAPTER 17 / 43 Discussion

Sally Cohn, ISIS Creation Claim on CNN

CNN contributor Sally Cohn made a controversial statement suggesting that the United States helped "destroy" countries through the "creation of ISIS." While intended as a criticism of Trump's refugee policy, the remark inadvertently aligned with right-wing talking points blaming the Obama-Clinton administration for the rise of the terrorist group.

sally cohn· cnn· isis· barack obama· hillary clinton

58:54 A similar number gathered in Sydney. US-Australian relations were tested on Thursday following a phone call between the nation's two leaders, in which Trump reportedly labeled their refugee resettlement deal dumb. Dumb? It's dumb! And just to show you how dumb it has gotten... Sally Cohn who I'm not a fan of was on CNN and we all know Sally Cohn She makes a stunning admission in arguing how horrible Donald Trump is, A STUNNING ADMISSION. I don't think she even realized what she said or that this would have ever passed the muster on CNN to go on the airwaves. The president is now challenging your argument of facts based on arguing against the court finding but you want to give the court finding credence to argue against me? This is insane! We all know what it is

59:44 He said he's made it clear himself this is about his definition of terrorism, etc. But let's pay attention to what's happening What it means Is that first of all countries that we have helped to destroy through our creation of ISIS We now can't help the translators The refugees The people whose lives we ruined They can't come here for solace Did she just say that WE created ISIS? She sure did Well that would be President Obama and Hillary Clinton who created ISIS So why she blaming Trump What she's blamed, what she said. The thing that he's arguing is because Obama and Clinton created ISIS, it's horrible of us to not let the translators who helped us fight them into the country. That's her entire argument and of course actually a translator was led into the country even before the ban was really understood and before the temporary restraining order I just thought this is amazing there's stuff going on John that's out of control

Bill O'Reilly, Trump Interview and Prison Riots

Bill O'Reilly's Super Bowl interview with President Trump touched on U.S.-Russia relations, with Trump defending his respect for Putin by noting that the U.S. has also "done a lot of bad things." Separately, inmates in a Delaware prison cited Trump's election as a reason for rioting, claiming the institution would change for the worse under his administration.

bill o'reilly· donald trump· vladimir putin· delaware· prison riot

1:00:43 It's out of control. There was a prison riot. Wait, wait, wait. The latest thing is the thing that it's going to be on today when they do the whole interview with Trump on O'Reilly is going to interview Trump at the Super Bowl and they're going back and forth in those rallies trying to you know O'Reilly is a warmonger he's really a Democrat And you never admits it. He's a war monger, he wants more war and he gets into beef with... You can see it when he talks to anybody like John McCain, likes these guys. He is a Kaganite. So yes, so he is badgering Trump and says don't you think the Russians are bunch of A-holes? They've done a lot of bad things in their murders and then Trump says something like I didn't have the clip but

1:01:30 Something to the effect of hey, we've done a lot of bad things ourselves Which is true. Yeah, but no the media has gone nuts Well, he's condemning in the American way and all this other stuff It's unbelievable that pushback is listen to this Listen is mild comment Trump is being blamed for everything now it's a go-to Here's what I here's right say if you get pulled over for speeding just say oh I was listening to President Trump on the radio and i just got so mad about him. You'll probably get off without a ticket." Yeah, I think a lot of cops are Trump supporters you said always have to remember 57% of the public really probably supports Trump. Delaware inmates rioted

1:02:14 At the prison. As the hostage situation unfolded today, inmates at the prison made contact with the outside world they were patch through to The News Journal it's a Delaware newspaper and here is an excerpt of one We know that the institution is going to change for the worse. The calls also mentioned the need for education and rehabilitation, now the call you just heard and others were turned over to police It's Donald Trump because of Trump we're rioting Is it Donald Trump fault for the prison riots? They said it right there! We know Donald Trumps gonna do horrible things so we're rioting

Trump Administration, LGBTQ Workplace Protections

The White House released a statement confirming that President Trump will continue to enforce a 2014 executive order protecting LGBTQ employees from workplace discrimination. Reports suggest Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were influential in ensuring these protections remained intact, despite expectations from some GOP factions that they would be rolled back.

ivanka trump· jared kushner· lgbtq rights· executive order· barack obama

1:02:56 Well, the public has just been brainwashed like to an extreme. And it's pretty good work and this is Soros. No, he's no John. It's the machine is not just sorrows on the machine. Yeah but the machine is being greased by some rich guy. The machine is greased to the max I did catch one little statement from the White House using grease losing its oozing Soros juice A nice little thing I caught, which of course was not reported anywhere. And I believe Ivanka and her husband were drivers behind this to make sure that this was published now it's just a note from the President. President Donald J Trump will continue to enforce executive orders protecting the rights of the LGBT community in the workplace

1:03:42 President Donald J. Trump is determined to protect the rights of all Americans, including the LGBT community. President Trump continues to be respectful and supportive of LGBTQ rights just as he was throughout the election The president is proud to have been the first ever GOP nominee to mention the LGBT community in his nomination acceptance speech pledging then to protect the community from violence and oppression The executive order signed in 2014, President Obama's which protects employees from anti-LGBTQ workplace discrimination while working for federal contractors will remain intact at the direction of President Donald J. Trump." Funny I didn't hear anything about that! Why would you? But i did hear...

The ACLU of Texas is mobilizing activists in Austin to oppose various state bills, including a controversial North Dakota proposal that would protect motorists who accidentally hit protesters obstructing highways. Similar legislation is being considered in Minnesota following incidents where drivers were surrounded by protesters on major roads.

Texas lawmakers have already proposed several bills that threaten LGBT equality On Monday March 20th activists from across the state are going to Austin to tell state lawmakers that all Texans deserve To be equal under the law We don't discriminate in a lone star State Join us here So I tried to figure out what was going on about these horrible threats to the LGBT community and The only thing I can find... Lip-smacking alert. Sorry, the only thing I can find is some bills that are possibly being proposed regarding protest this is all over the country North Dakota Republicans introduced a bill last week that would allow motorists to run over and kill any protester obstructing a highway as long as the driver does so accidentally Well seems fair

1:05:32 In Minnesota a bill introduced there is a video going around showing it Just that girl got hit good. Yeah, but they're on the highway like a bunch of morons Oh this was a guy This was a guy that wasn't guys white BMW as a guy and he was on though He said the driver had kept going in this one guy jumps on his hood So the driver takes off like a rocket and starts driving back and forth, and back and forth to shake the guy. Yeah I would have done that. And he shook him off and ran him over! I would have done this...I don't know if i'd run him over but I wouldn't shake the guy off come on it's insane um oh here it is all in for equal advocacy day this is it here we go it's from the ACLU by the way I put that call with the ACLU in the show notes for today it's under extras if people want to listen

1:06:20 Urge state lawmakers protect LGB Texans from discrimination. Now we just heard that the president said at a federal level he is going to protect, of course the states have their own rights. Equality Texas ACLU of Texas Human Rights Campaign Texas Freedom Network and Transgender Education Network of Texas invite you to our All In for Equality Advocacy Day this is an opportunity for you to ask state leaders to pass inclusive policies that protect all Texans include... so there is nothing on the books there's nothing As far as I can tell, there's nothing on the books that even relates to LGBTQ. Yet they're riling kids up to donate and to protest! Very good... But my favorite comes from the NABJ Now you'd think we'd be a part of any organization that has BJ in its name but no We cannot because this is The National Association Of Black Journalists And they are very very saddened John And the reason is

Megyn Kelly, NBC Today Show Controversy

The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) criticized NBC for "whitewashing" after reports surfaced that Megyn Kelly would replace Tamron Hall and Al Roker in the 9:00 AM hour of the Today Show. Tamron Hall subsequently left the network after her contract negotiations failed. Industry analysts question the move, noting Kelly's evening-style presentation may not fit the morning demographic.

megyn kelly· nbc· tamron hall· al roker· nabj

1:07:23 Well, I'll just read it verbatim. NBC has been a leader for diversity in broadcasting, but recent reports that Hall and Roker will be replaced by former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly are being seen by industry professionals as whitewashing. I know this is interesting. Well, I watch that show occasionally as that woman Tamron I guess is her name? Yep She's quite good Very much bad Roker could go. I mean Yeah, we do not like Roker right now and I've worked with him he said this woman is good she's she's

1:08:17 She's sharp, she's very pleasant and she's good-looking. She fits right into the whole thing I don't see why they'd get rid of her it makes no sense unless they're moving her They have to be moving or someplace else because she's too...she's too multi culty kind of network style To just kick out of a place It doesn't make sense Well reading the rest of the statement from The National Association Of Black Journalists is a lot of insinuation here Published reports suggest Kelly will be replacing Today Takes, the hour of programming led by Holland Roker. Roker tweeted last week that the show leads the ratings in its time slot and consistently beats its competition I have not checked this but you know they're taking it as fact from Roker

1:08:57 This achievement deserves praise, please clap. Not punishment as replacing talent is often associated with low ratings performance. Kelly has a well-documented history of offensive remarks regarding people of color really? She's a racist white supremacist on the Kelly ever heard her say anything like that here it comes on the Kelly file or Fox News show The host said then first lady Michelle Obama's commencement address at Tuskegee University pandered to a quote culture of victimization So she's a racist for saying that. Well, racists... Racist! Whites and blacks both cater to a culture of victimization. She's racist! It's racist! Stop trying to... Really slanty. That is terrible that they would say that if she goes out of her way not to be anything like that but on the other hand if you analyze it from a perspective of producer or TV guy

1:09:52 I don't know why you'd make this move. It makes no sense! For one thing, Kelly is an evening style of presenter. There's a difference between an evening style and a morning style. And she's not a morning style at all. There's no way. She's too dolled up and she's too slightly... You have to be in the afternoon-evening mood put up with her. You don't want to see her in the morning So why would you make this move? It makes no sense. Hey, Kelly baby just I don't want to see you in the morning. Just slip that pillowcase over your head will ya it's a little rough Yes is what it sounds like well with but from an objective perspective I think I'm correct and NBC's also correct they don't know what the hell they're doing But this National Association of Black Journalists I think they're pushing it a little far They cite no quantitative proof Of a ratings bonanza

1:10:52 And, by the way it's you know maybe they just want to shake things up. I mean maybe... If it has good if it has the good ratings they claim they wouldn't do that of course not of course yeah The other opportunities are possible which are all of a sudden Tam Tamara whatever her name is and Roker wanted more money because there were getting day getting good ratings Oh, that's also possible. And then we're not giving any more money this morning thing? It's ridiculous! Well now that we're talking about it I'm going to take a break... and maybe go one more. Not that iIm gonna go into too much analysis which already have the two of them might or especially I mean either one of them if you're in that business and you doing this morning stuff

1:11:33 All you have to do is look over at Ellen and before that, you can look over at Rosie. And some of these other people that are all on syndication deals. That's the money! These people make tens of millions of dollars because they're syndicated. These two, Tamara and Roker, they don't...they make salary! They don't get any piece of the action? If they're kicking the ass of the other morning shows, you have to wonder what they're thinking because they are getting like whatever their yearly is and it's just part of their contract. And these other people were making all kinds of money on syndication. I'm reading some of the show business periodicals to find out if there is anything about the ratings.

1:12:23 Clearly, this is not going to be the... they're doing something different with that hour. It won't be a continuation of The Today Show it's going to be something completely different also Halls contract was nearing its end yeah there you go yeah and oh it even says here her reps are negotiating okay so they negotiated and they um... Yeah these networks like to go how much money is it do you want? Oh good why don't you go find it over at CBS get out Yeah, I want to see if i can find the actual ratings. I can't find it easily Hmm... I bet you- I bet you this is a contract deal yeah of course and It happens that show business and then get used To it ha humor and with that I'd like to thank you for your courage And say in the morning to you John C. Well C stands for college of racist Dvorak

The Danes and the Finns out there In the morning to everyone in the chat room NoahJennaStream.com good to see y'all they're in large numbers as usual and in the morning to Martin JJ he brought us the artwork for episode 900 aptly titled 900 and that was of course Miss Globalism on the uh on the cover Had nothing to do with 900 which made it so great. Well, just simple we picked the best piece is what we do yes

1:13:48 And we appreciate all the 900 attempts. Yes, and please continue to submit at noagendaartgenerator.com It's highly highly appreciated And I might mention that we have no contract disputes here with The No Agenda Show We don't have any way of getting fired by a dumb network executive otherwise known as a suit That's because you support the show And when your support goes away and you don't want to hear the show anymore, or you think that we stink? Then that...then we'll go find something else to do. We may have to work for a suit I hope not. Yeah, I'd rather do webcam work honestly So we had webcam... Actually what i wanna do is get one of those guys who will get just a fixed webcam and then I'll just shout into it! For 15-20 minutes a day yeah I think my webcam will be more popular

1:14:39 Not necessarily. Dwayne Melancon, we left him out of show 900 you have to retroactively put him on that list over there if you can. Oh, and then I have it with yes of course i'll put him on there of course yeah go back archduke of the north west he somehow the scraper didn't pick him up somehow and so we had yeah eric's got some thing that works with paypal's api to get these names so they all go in the spreadsheet automatically but apparently the api has certain little things like it stops or it stops working or it or it has it's probably based on oh off and therefore sucks

1:15:16 It's probably something like that. So Dwayne Mellon's son got left out and he felt bad about it, but we felt worse about it. Anyway ITMEC writes Archduke of the Pacific Northwest here I consider you to be the best podcast in the multiverse now I asked for karma for all nights and an end of show request that Yoko- well, i don't think you're gonna need to request that for a while.

Yemen Raid, Intelligence Value and Leaks

A U.S. military raid in Yemen resulted in the death of Navy SEAL Ryan Owens and several civilians. While the White House called the mission a success, reports surfaced that the intelligence gathered was outdated. It was revealed that the raid had been planned during the Obama administration, though the final execution occurred under President Trump.

yemen· navy seal· ryan owens· al-qaeda· barack obama

1:31:51 Oops. Little misfire there, little misfire... Why did that misfire so badly? Hmm. Strange. You got a mouse in your pocket! Hey let me tell you I got my new mouse and very happy with it Got the magic mouse, I got one of those pads with wrist support And its really making the show much more streamlined today Really?! Yes yes very very very pleased with it There, on Thursday's show you mentioned that you believe the Oval Office or the White House may be bugged. Yes. Probably with a camera too! You may also recall that I immediately brought up the failed raid in Yemen where the Marine died so there was a report on this actually is two clips from a longer report

1:32:48 I did want to play this for you just to reiterate the information we received about mission Three officials said the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced Al Qaeda base defended by landmine snipers and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists. Now, let's stop right there. So the insinuation here is that President Trump didn't have enough intel and just said, go for it boys like what did the chiefs of staff? What do they what did the joint chiefs bring him? Did they not bring him a complete

1:33:54 I mean there were three officials who said this, which is great. When you just claim that the most leaks ever... 97% of all journalists agree that this is the White House with the most leaks ever. Three officials said this! Three officials now what you need to know is that this raid was an Obama planned raid They knew all about it. They set this up, this was pre-planned before Trump came into office." Yes in fact we had Monaco that woman who sounds like Susan Rice and everybody else that worked in the White House talk about I have a clip from what's called The Yemen Story CBS A Croc is the name of the clip and it has CBS

1:34:41 Which is the Central Intelligence Agency broadcasting system has kind of rewritten this narrative about This I mean you have to remember that the whole Yemen thing is a response Let's just put it. The whole Yemen thing is fucked okay? That's totally ruined, but yes It's into response the whole thing as a response to the Houthis yeah kicking out our guy yep and And then so we cut the Saudis who wanted to do some military practicing. We let them go kill civilians in trying to get these Houthis, you know... I don't know. It bodes mentioning that were doing this at the behest of the Saudis and we... So we were only doing refueling and now we have boots on the ground killing people? Yeah well they've reframed it because CBS would do that here's a way the story goes now

1:35:35 Ryan Owens, a Navy SEAL was killed on Sunday in the raid against Al Qaeda in Yemen. Many civilians died other Americans were wounded and the US aircraft was lost Yesterday the White House declared the rate of success quote by all standards when you look at the totality of what was gained But today's proof of intelligence gained turns out to be a video that the Pentagon could have more easily obtained online where it has been for the last ten years. David Martin on the threat of Al Qaeda in Yemen The raid which left an al-qaeda camp riddled with bullet holes may have been just the opening round of a new military campaign against al qaeda in yemen Lisa Monaco who served as president obama's homeland security advisor told charlie rose she was briefed on the operation before she left office. The white house was presented

1:36:32 in the waning weeks of the Obama administration, a broad proposal. So not a single raid or operation on a single target but a broad proposal increased military operations in Yemen. Of all the branches of Al-Qaeda, the one in Yemen is considered most dedicated to launching an attack against the American homeland so the Pentagon waited for a moonless night and last weekend sent SEAL Team 6 into a remote al Qaeda hideout The seals landed a few miles away and tried to sneak up on it but were detected and began taking heavy fire they called in helicopter gunships to silence the fire coming from a building

1:37:14 But civilians, including some children were also inside. No longer pinned down the SEALs moved through the buildings killing 14 al-Qaeda fighters and collecting hard drives laptops and cell phones In an attempt to show results The US military released what it called a sample of the intelligence collected on the raid but it turned out to be old news A video of a bomb making class which has been on the internet for years Military officers insisted the raid also produced what they called actionable intelligence, meaning information that can be used to break up terrorist plots. But that may require more raids into Yemen and more casualties. Scott? David Martin at the Pentagon... Wow! That's very interesting here I have the quote from WAPO

1:38:01 Here we go. Obama administration aides had deliberated extensively over the proposed operation, weighing the value of any information that might be recovered against the risk to the special operations forces plunging into hostile territory." It was in fact the Obama administration that thought the risk would be worth the reward of the intel! But no it's stupid Donald Trump you see and as a full-on quid pro quo What was the Republicans definitely harping about with Osama bin Laden's killing? That Obama was asleep or he was playing cards, or something like that. Wasn't that the... Golfing! No it wasn't golfing

1:38:49 It was something though, yeah he wasn't there. Yeah he was asleep, he was playing cards well now they're gonna pull that on Trump and of course this is true U.S Central Command said in a statement that a team is investigating civilian casualties that occurred in that incident There are other leaks indicating the president was at dinner when he made the decision to approve the raid Even Kellyanne Conway would not deny that tonight So that account in the paper today, where it had his son-in-law there and he had Steve Bannon there. That's talking about a dinner, that's not an execution of a plan. It sounded like that is where he made the decision, but that is not true? That is one instance, that is one event where he received counsel from different people but there were other people around the table including his secretaries and generals and certainly his vice president. So you didn't make the call at dinner right? I can't reveal who made the call

1:39:40 As president, as commander in chief he takes the job very seriously and executes on that as appropriate. Yeah Kellyanne you should give it a rest You can't change your logic The other thing let's just stop and go back and listen to CBS not listen but reconsider it When does all of sudden this civil war thats broken out because of the Houthis which is supported by Iranians now all of sudden Al Qaeda When did Al-Qaeda, which has supposedly been defeated and they're all gone? No this is Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. That's what they're called up there in Yemen Again But these are the Houthis that are fighting I'm sure of it There's no way Oh I know that! What?! Of course I know that but that doesn't play well

CHAPTER 24 / 43 Discussion

Sean Spicer, Iran Gaffe and Houthi Attack

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer mistakenly claimed that Iran had attacked a U.S. naval vessel. He was actually referring to a Houthi rebel attack on a Saudi ship off the coast of Yemen. The gaffe was used by critics to suggest the administration is looking for a pretext for conflict with Iran.

sean spicer· iran· houthi rebels· saudi arabia· gaffe

1:40:24 So they got this new narrative, so I said this whole thing is bullcrap. Then you have this... Here's another example of what stemmed out of this whole thing This is the Spicer, you know that pretty depressed guy? Sweaty Sean. Place Sean's gaff White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer falsely claimed Thursday that Iran attacked a U.S. naval vessel, which if it were true would constitute an act of war. In fact, Spicer was referring to a Houthi rebel attack against a Saudi ship off the coast of Yemen on Monday. This is White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer I think General Flynn was really clear yesterday that Iran has violated the joint resolution, that Iran's additional hostile actions against our Navy vessel are ones we are very clear is not going to sit by and take.

1:41:15 This false claim comes after National Security Advisor Michael Flynn condemned Iran's recent ballistic missile test launch and said the U.S is putting Iran on notice this morning President Trump tweeted quote, Iran is playing with fire they don't appreciate how kind President Obama was to them not me he now couple things One she makes he secures on this was a lie. It wasn't you know if it with what he was referring to Was that attack? Yeah, it was the gaffe. It wasn't a lie Gaffes are not lies But I think he was referring to that attack that did take place some months before the presidential election where they were

1:41:56 Their naval vessel, that little skiff or whatever it was, was grabbed by the Iranians and these Americans had to hold their hands over their head. And it was a humiliation and all the rest of... That's what he was talking about? Yes! Because nobody else brought this up except Democracy Now!. Well why would we? That would be completely agreeing with Sweaty Sean. We can't have that. Anyway, the point is This whole thing is being rewritten, it's being massaged. The media is mostly responsible and this... The true story about the Houthis and all the rest of it needs to really... Why don't they? Where does Al Qaeda come back into the picture, I mean. And then the bullcrap that was on CBS where the guy says which is why call this clip a crock. Says oh the reason they're doing this it's because Yemen give me a break! Yemen is the biggest threat to our country What he said They're idiots

White House Leaks, Television as a Management Tool

A theory suggests that White House staff, including Kellyanne Conway, use leaks to the press as a way to communicate with President Trump, knowing he monitors television closely. There is also speculation regarding potential surveillance "bugs" left behind by the previous administration or planted by intelligence agencies to monitor the new President.

kellyanne conway· leaks· television· management· bugs

1:42:56 They're idiots. All we're doing, I mean up until now we've just been sending our drones from Djibouti which is why they are located in Djibouti across the Gulf there. Now he got boots on the ground thanks Obama because that was your plan. Thanks Obama! But okay Trump was eating dinner with a Jew son-in-law with the fake Jew daughter and they said kill him whatever Annoying, but there's more that way they're portraying it There's more leaks in the White House part of the problem Trump is now suffering from is that there are a variety of different people with different kinds Of motivations sure to want to leak one set of people and I think there's a large group of these who especially people like Kellyanne Conway? I'm not accusing her of leaking But you will understand something that Kellyanne understood very early on which was that the way to

1:43:47 temper Trump's behavior. The way to get him to understand a point is if he sees it on television, if he sees it in the press... She has essentially said that publicly! Yes she has and so again not accusing her of leaking but saying You're gonna love this theory okay? So they are about to explain why people in the White House why this is the most leaky White House of all time is for one reason and one reason only John Others around him know that if you want to get through to him, it's... You don't write a memo. You don't try and talk about it. You try and get people on television to talk about him. And so there are those who are leaking to try to get his behavior to be better others around him, clearly and people who are more institutionally aligned. People who are more part of the Washington establishment who are now in the administration. People were maybe part of the permanent government who are alarmed by Trump's behavior and they're not speaking to Trump. They're speaking to the outside world and trying to make it clear everyone in America and Democrats and other Republicans and all of us just how alarming some of the behavior that they see is at least in their eyes. And when you work on that crossfire

1:44:51 You have people leaking who would think they're trying to help you and people who are looking to hurt you That is a bad place to be and you know, the one thing that's going on right now. It is making Donald Trump Mental no it's making him mental That's what it is because they want to tell him something and they can't write him a memo They have to get it on TV. You see I should've said TMZ that would have been even better Wow, that's a good one. It's not just wow, it is a head shaker going nuts! It's a head shaker man, I tell you. Well stick with my original thesis which is the bugs in the White House and he's gonna have to deal with it. When Obama left I'm sure that yeah he brought his

1:45:38 What else you gonna do yet? You're running, you're in the White House now. Okay I'm in the White House Your buddy Hillary, who you don't really like but you still like to party At least she should be president and we can deal with that when it comes along But then all of a sudden Trump wins and you said this idiot's gonna be in here And so you bring in the top guys from the CIA or NSA NSA probably pretty good with the top new bugs The new stuff. Yeah, there's stuff that doesn't you know that I don't even how it works You we don't know because it's to the stuff that only they have right? It's like a Drop it's like a it's like as pin prick size thing and you plant them all over the place

1:46:25 Yeah, I'd do it. Yep and then walk out of there saying yeah dadada bye hey have a nice time in the White House Good luck everybody Why wouldn't you do that? He got Obama hates Trump Yeah No, I would presume that he wouldn't have the place swept but who knows well There may be some new bugs if you can't sweep I mean is possible that you have to pretty much Click steam clean the whole room. I mean, I don't know what you'd have to do But while we're kind of also talking about fake news, there's a movement underway to actually outlaw and make punishable fake news by changing it into something called fraud news. And this is... let me see who's the guy behind this? A lawyer, of course

CHAPTER 26 / 43 Discussion

Fraud News, FTC Regulation Proposal

A legal proposal suggests the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) could regulate "fraud news" as deceptive commercial speech. This follows a seminar at UC Berkeley where journalists distinguished between "fake news" (fictional stories created for profit) and "slanted news." The focus is on individuals who created fabricated stories during the election to generate ad revenue.

fake news· fraud news· ftc· first amendment· uc berkeley

1:47:24 He's suggesting that the Federal Trade Commission can use its authority to protect consumers from fraudulent advertising claims in order to fight the existence of fake news. Suggesting that by classifying disprovable media claims as fraudulent, the government has the authority to intervene. Fraud is not considered protected speech and he made... This would be FTC I would assume? Yes, FTC so he made his case in a piece for The New Jersey State Bar Association And it says, to follow First Amendment precedents the framework could limit the FTC to only regulate posted articles not seeking prior restraints against future articles and to only regulate businesses devoted to fraud news. Legally a focus on deceptive businesses keeps the FTC in the ballpark of commercial speech patrolling deceptive practices taken in pursuit of commerce

1:48:15 During the election, the most popular fraud news sites were launched by business people often abroad enticed by the market online for political views. They were trying to make money not express any particular view Okay, I want to stop you because over the weekend The University of California Department of Journalism had a fake news seminar. Oh lovely It was a panel today didn't record anything from it because it was a snooze fest But I could relate some of the things that I learned okay now they're assumed there They're making the distinction between fake news and what Trump calls fake news In other words, CNN would not be considered fake news. But a guy who actually writes fictional stories and this woman who did an expose on some podcast, NPR podcast that discussed the main guy... This is the guy if you remember this was some I think in November we talked about him. This is the guy who's the big Hillary supporter

1:49:11 Which was ironic and he's the one who started a number of newspapers. I think that Denver Guardian was one of them Oh, yes right He would write he was the one who wrote this story that this FBI agent was investigating The Clinton Foundation it was dead And they said it was just an implication at the Clintons killed him and there's because of the Clinton dead list. And it was a complete fabrication and this guy started these websites because he talked to this woman, she interviewed him because even though he's a Hillary supporter, he started these websites just to show the stupidness of how the internet is propagating bad information and he was doing it kind of as an experiment then he started making money

1:49:54 to the point of like 10 grand a month or 20 grand a month. So he kept doing it, opening more sites and pretty much helped sink Hillary's campaign but they're deciding that that is what the... That's the fake news that they wanna talk about. They don't wanna talk about the slanted news that you get on CNN and MSNBC which is as fake as anything- For instance calling a travel ban a Muslim ban consistently? Yeah, which it just isn't that by definition by their definition the only thing that they want to address is this guy's Style of fake news where you just make up a complete story full of cloth right so which they believe which they believe is Is rampant yeah? They believe its rampant Set a ball. That's ping-pong ball

CHAPTER 27 / 43 Discussion

Ahmed Mohamed, Clock Boy Defamation Lawsuit Dismissed

A defamation lawsuit filed by Ahmed Mohamed, known as "Clock Boy," against journalist Ben Shapiro was dismissed by a Texas judge. Mohamed had sued after Shapiro questioned his motives for bringing a clock that resembled a bomb to school. The judge ordered Mohamed's family to pay Shapiro's legal fees and court costs.

ahmed mohamed· clock boy· ben shapiro· defamation· texas

1:50:56 No, no idea why but I do like it. Yes big bong ball at the end It's kind of not well speaking of fake news The clock boy was in court Oh God. A little reminder about Clockboy, Clockboy in I think it was in Texas, I want to say it was Garland Texas, Muhammad and he came to school with a clock and uh...was detained briefly because it looked like a bomb and there was a whole fracas and then of course the president said oh cool clock dude come on by the White House! And he got all kinds of free education offers from Berkeley and yeah

1:51:33 I know of. So he and his father, more correctly had taken Ben Shapiro a journalist to court over this it was a defamation lawsuit that Muhammad filed in October 2015 after Shapiro actually on the Kelly file questioned Ahmed's stories and motives surrounding a clock he brought to school that looked like a bomb And of course we had the Council on American, America Islamic Relations involved. Everybody was all over this and the judge says no way got thrown out and Clock Boy has to now pay for attorney fees court costs and other expenses Good yeah very good I did not like these people his father was really the problem that kid is just a dumb kid like most dumb kids he's just dumb kid

CHAPTER 28 / 43 Discussion

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Liberal Health Concerns

Liberal supporters are expressing extreme concern over the health of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, leading to a "keep her alive" meme. Social media users have been jokingly urging her to eat kale and avoid slippery ice to ensure she remains on the bench during the Trump administration.

ruth bader ginsburg· kale· health· supreme court· liberals

1:52:30 It seemed like a good idea at the time. But that totally, that was totally fake news what isn't fake news but which is just hilarious is this meme that's going around about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Oh? Yes So somewhere someone said or it started off by oh my god, we got to keep her alive. We gotta keep his no Yeah, there's that going on I know that yeah the guy they got and she has to eat kale Yes, that's exactly it. We hope she eats more kale so have more

1:53:06 Have more kale, have more kale, have more kale. Can she eat more kale? Hordes of liberals want reassurance RBG's health is good! You will obey, you will obey... And the tweets like, uh, have you gotten a flu shot yet be careful of salmonella don't walk on slippery ice But can she eat more kale? You know, if you want to kill someone have them eat kale. That's yeah that'll do it That's your death warrant right there I don't want this poor lady to die but you gotta stop Oh oh I got a note hmm a note about where was this note our Before we leave I was just gonna say one of our producers his wife works She worked for four years i think as a CPAP professional

1:54:00 And according to his wife, even if you press the green button and it goes off at night. The machine goes off the likelihood that you would die from that according to her and I'll take her experience is practically zero. That's what I would think but don't if we remember there was supposedly a pillow on his head. That was the part that was a little annoying. They kind of dropped out of party. Yeah it's no longer important Yeah, here it is. Yes she's a respiratory therapist six years experience before we leave the fake news thing I don't remember what this Brian about my miscellaneous fake fake news comment on PBS. Second yeah I got it here

CHAPTER 29 / 43 Discussion

EU Malta Summit, Migrant Bolstering Strategy

EU leaders met in Malta to discuss the "Rome Declaration" and strategies for managing migrant flows from Libya. A 2009 EU report is cited, which suggests that immigration is a necessary "bolstering device" to counter Europe's aging population, with a goal of 60 million migrant workers by 2050.

malta· european union· donald tusk· migration· treaty of rome

1:54:43 And John, you mentioned Twitter. The president has continued to be active on Twitter this morning tweeting again about that phone conversation that he had reportedly heated conversation with the Prime Minister of Australia and then another one about of all people Arnold Schwarzenegger That's right I'll take them in order the Prime Minister of Australia said the phone call was candid and frank which of course is diplomatic language often for a shouting match but he did say that contrary to reports that Mr. Trump did not hang up on him so Mr. Trump thanked him for straightening that out and called the original reports fake news. That's funny I have, uh...I have a little bit of Euroland news that comes kind of in two parts

1:55:34 There was a big meeting in Malta over the weekend. All the EU muckety-mucks were hanging out and taking pictures, although if you look at some of the video, the pictures were just very brief... And then they all ran away from Theresa May! And as part of this weekend they all agreed—I have it in uh... The original report is in Dutch but here it is Donald Tusk, he is of course currently the president. Tusk? Tusk Wallet in Malta you said will... there's going to be a proposed Rome Declaration now this will take place in March on the anniversary of the Treaty of Rome and at this Rome declaration

1:56:26 The document that will be signed urges leaders to commit to, quote, greater unity in foreign policy and more investments in our defense and further deepening the economic and monetary union. Which of course is exactly the reasons why the UK wanted to get out so they're going to pledge allegiance to the European unions Yeah, and that will be decided on the this is a surprise of the no agenda. No agenda. There's the Noah genders yeah now as part of As part of some research into this I came across a document actually sent to me by Paul Paul pyrrha mon And this is the report the EU migrant report which was released in 2009

1:57:12 And in it, it states very clearly. I'm translating on the fly from the Dutch version According to Eurostat The European Union is graying In a medium to short term That means they're getting older With as a consequence Expected diminishing professional population that could diminish by 50 million in 2060 Immigration must function as an important, what is the word? An important... Bolstering device. There you go! Bolstering device for good economic results in the EU and they subsequently call for, here it is, point number 13 to recall and to memorialize the agreement that by 2050

1:58:14 The commission expects to have 60, that's six zero million migrants working in the EU. Yeah all Muslims. Yep 60 million. Six zero! Yeah, that will be when the EU... I mean there's a lot of radical Islamists who have had maps of what country is going to go Muslim first and then second. Great Britain was on the path to be first but Germany was supposed to be first if i recall that No, I thought France is gonna beat them Well here's a little clip to see how the progress is going with 60 million migrants

1:58:52 EU have pledged to finance migrant camps in Libya. Leaders meeting in Malta backed the move, they've been thrashing out ways of stemming flows of people from Africa. She is cold, man. I don't think she has a heart or soul this woman is cold she looks like the typical technocrat bureaucrat who has never worked in her life and in the commercial sector it has expensive crap on and talks as if you know oh well please you have to understand you don't know crap you stupid citizen we'll take care of you. The parents what was the thing?

1:59:35 What was that term we learned earlier? Yeah, I don't remember it. The parent... the... hold on a minute, I just want to... the Parens Patrie, that's it! ...relevant package of measures that will help us manage the flows better save lives in partnership with UN agencies, UNHCR and IOM in Libya, in the countries of origin having a strong external European initiative to decrease and avoid loss of lives. Donald Trump's also on the minds of leaders. The American president has put Europe on edge with what is described as worrying declarations. Those who would like to establish bilateral relations with the US are understood he says.

CHAPTER 30 / 43 Discussion

Ted Malloch, Potential EU Ambassador Controversy

Ted Malloch, a candidate for U.S. Ambassador to the EU, has faced pushback from European officials for his skeptical views on the union's viability. In interviews, Malloch has suggested a new relationship between the U.S., Europe, and Russia, including the possibility of a new plebiscite in Crimea.

ted malloch· european union· ambassador· russia· crimea

2:00:21 But there is no future with Trump if there's not a common approach. Leaders have also been planning for a post-Brexit Europe at the summits, but only after Theresa May had left the room. Unbelievable. You know that guy we have, our guy who's supposed to be the ambassador to the EU? Moloch. Moloch yeah. He had... now they're trying to Tusk and the others don't want him because of that Snide remark he made. What was it Snide just kind of a funny comment. What was the comment again?

2:00:57 It was that, man you know I used to be the ambassador to the Soviet Union and they fell apart and maybe this other operation needs to think twice about its viability kind of thing. That's not what he said but he just said that use a piece of crap is what he says. But here is unfortunately the clip is called M-I-K-O-C-H. And here he is talking a little more in depth about how Work with the EU and what he thinks should be going on. I don't think he's gonna get the job The world would be a better place if we could have a different relationship between Western Europe, United States and Russia Russia is not the Soviet Union

2:01:42 I can underscore that if i need to. So, If we were to take actually a different scenario and say in two years and three years and four years We could improve those relations wouldn't the world be much better place? If we had defeated ISIS... If we had solved the problem of civil war which is so sad in Syria.. If we have actually had a plebiscite A fair one with international standards in Crimea. If the situation in the Ukraine had been actually brought to a, you know, very good solution and if the Baltic states felt more comfortable and if those sanctions were removed would not the world be a better place? So you reject the Kremlin's view that there was a plebiscite in Crimea I think that it might be necessary to have a fair and open plebiscite this is something open for discussion with international

2:02:36 observers. Okay, I see why they don't like him. It's not the program is that what we're trying to do here? No just get on board with the program you know and the more i think about it to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Rome agreement specifically for the financial union...I mean that's a date you can really look forward to they're gonna do something pretty radical I think with the banks it's all about the banks All about the money this. Well, we'll see. Your no agenda show will be all over it obviously course We will the Independent now reporting that Donald Trump has Forsaken his duty and obligation and the headline Angela Merkel is now the leader of the free world did not Donald Trump. Oh yeah sure Let me read the subtext

CHAPTER 31 / 43 Discussion

Angela Merkel, Leader of the Free World

The Independent and other media outlets have begun labeling German Chancellor Angela Merkel as the "leader of the free world" in opposition to Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico has approved a new referendum for June 11th to pursue U.S. statehood, though the move is seen as a desperate attempt given the island's financial crisis.

angela merkel· the independent· trumpism· puerto rico· referendum

2:03:37 Boy, what do you call it? The second... the little headline. What do you call that? What is that called in the publishing world? Oh, the subhead. Subhead. The US president isn't motivated by protecting liberal democracy or freedom. His sole ideology is Trumpism colon corporate autocracy with a populist facade and he surrounds himself with white nationalists even more hostile to liberal democracy than he is And that's what... What is this? This is the Independent. Oh, The Independent is the worst! Yeah but people read it and they look they have... Trump haters from before you know they're just horrible people. It's really independent of anything. They have another one of those graphs about polling data with her approval ratings versus Trump's. Get a new script. Angela Merkel. Yes oh well fine

2:04:36 Now they were also obviously anti-Brexit the whole thing. Same time Puerto Rico is gonna try, they're gonna try it again. They approved a measure on Friday to hold another referendum to become a state set for June 11th... Uh yeah sorry Puerto Rico that's not going to happen ever did you miss what happened when we let the banks come in and the IMF and cornhole you? It's not gonna happen. Remember the president apologized? Hey, sorry we're screwing you but you know what else are you gonna do I don't see how they can get this through this is a desperate attempt

CHAPTER 32 / 43 Discussion

Jesse Watters, The Putin Pronunciation Peccadillo

A linguistic trend is noted where speakers, including guests on Jesse Watters' show, are dropping the "T" in the middle of words like "Putin" and "important." This "Poo-in" pronunciation is analyzed as a potential cultural or regional shift in American speech patterns.

jesse watters· putin· pronunciation· linguistics· fox news

2:05:12 No, well we'll see. So I'm listening to this guy that does all these interviewed man on the street stuff Waters is on Fox. Jesse Waters yeah he's you know Tina likes him like him too actually Well he's got it you know he's got that look did that funny face that is like always a perpetual smile It's hard not to like the guy also The man on the street He does a twist on the Man On The Street Stuff which I like because he'll edit in little little snippets of movies of people making faces or being surprised, stuff like that. It's cool I like it! For entertainment purposes. He has this woman whose last name is Kiefer Kelly Kiefer something like that she is blonde and I think he seems to me a little fishy that she even on his show but and I mean in the sexual context

2:06:03 But she's kind of nervous. She's not very good at all, but she has a little interesting... A little interesting Piccadillo. I'm gonna play it clip you'll spot it. Whoa stop! What's the piccadillo? Piccadillo is like a little flaw So her little thing, it's a little thing-a-ding. Look it up! But she's got this little interesting... and you'll hear it but then I'm gonna make you hear twice. Start with the clip is Waters World Dingbat which is a I guess not complimentary to her, zero. As you think Zaree's just saying listen Putin does dirty things America sometimes does some nasty things in the dark shadows in order to further our national interest which one do you think it is? Right well as much as Trump seems to love controversy I really do think that he's being pragmatic and actually

2:06:59 smart in this situation because we have to have strong foreign relations and it's much better for him to come out and say that I respect Putin not personally or as a friend but i am willing to work with him because, in fact Trump...that saying that Trump respects the American people. Because he is going to work with Russia rather than brush them aside and he's also not going to be Russia whisperer Russia whisperer, Russia whisperer. Did you catch the little peccadillo? Well I was actually- Trump It's actually Peccadillo Peccadillo! I was looking it up it's a slight offense a peccadillo did you catch it no I didn't catch that I was looking at peccadillo

2:07:42 Well, maybe you can catch it in clip two because she does it again. He loves America and you can tell that from the way he talks and the way he carries himself. He wants to make this country a better place and he's going to do that by building friendships with other countries and you do that through diplomacy and saying I respect you. It doesn't mean that he wants to go out and play golf with Putin or that he wants to have She said she said it's twice it is spreading As I heard the first time, what is wrong with this woman besides saying that Trump did?

2:08:26 And then I... Then she said it again. Holy, she probably said it a few more times. Putin Here is ground zero of Putin Liz Wall. Putin There you go that's her. Putin That's... Why is that? There's a t in there lady! But why are they not pronouncing the t this is very strange Because a lot of... I've gotten, you know. I haven't been harping on this but i've been getting clips. You know, I'm not putting them on the show necessarily but I'm going to start doing it more where I am hearing kitten. Kitten? Yeah. And poo-in and there's a whole bunch of these. There's no just those few. There's like a lot of them people were refusing to pronounce those t's in the middle of a word. That's right!

2:09:12 Sorry. No, it's in the middle of one. It's always in the middle...it's not the beginning. The T is always pronounced but if was Tut-Tats you'd pronounce it as Tut-Ets. Well we keep our eye on this and this is troubling because we have a whole other faction that were pronouncing the Ts to an extreme! Important. Important. Important. Yes, I know so there's a battle going on this is another fractal of the split Oh you're right that's exactly what it is but the question is in which fractal do people live? Are you in the if you pronounce your T's are you in one world versus not? We have to check this out. I think its true we're not in the world of the Putin people

CHAPTER 33 / 43 Discussion

Thailand, Journalist Licensing and Fake News

Thailand is considering a bill that would require journalists to be licensed, a move already seen in countries like Brazil. Critics argue this is a global trend to use the "fake news" narrative as a pretext for state control over the media, potentially bypassing First Amendment protections through professional bar associations.

thailand· journalism· licensing· first amendment· brazil

2:10:04 Poo-in. Important. Important, it's important! Yeah... Let's see. This is what we concentrate on in the No Agenda Show. Idiosyncrasies. It's important! Good thing we're not in Thailand. Thai media organizations are protesting a bill that would require journalists to be licensed and would establish a council that can penalize news outlets for violating professional standards. Oh yes This is just the first country to go. That well, Brazil already has that and so do a lot of other countries. What are they have licensed? Yeah you have to be like... You can be a writer in Brazil but if you're a journalist and you call yourself when you need a license there's a... And it costs not worth getting apparently from people I know that are down there

2:10:59 But this was the way it's gonna happen. It's going to be, well as a First Amendment first amendment first amendment? Yes it's the First Amendment thing you should be anyone wants to be a journalist can call themselves a journalist but what's gonna happen I said it before I'll say it again there will be a professional organization similar to The Bar Association where you'll go in through there and get a license, so you're licensed journalist. You're licensed by the Journalistic Bar Association to write and what will happen but still, it's still the First Amendment but you won't get hired without the paper. You will not get hired and it's possible that if you had put up a blog or something and you don't have the license

2:11:39 The ISP may just not allow the blog to be sent around. They'll be sued to shut you down, yeah? Yeah Well that risk is inherent to all in the media That of course could happen to us Of course having a journalist in our midst You John we would probably get the license We have the podcast license But it's concerning And it's bound to happen and why wouldn't? In fact, this is the... your whole leverage right here is a fake news thing. That's exactly right! The fake slash fraud news It's going that way and we're tracking for you. Fraud news. And we are able to do this because we don't take any corporate money You're the producer and heres proof I'm gonna show my support by donating to KnowAgenda Imagine all of people who could deal with us Oh yeah that'd be fab

Netflix 4K, Tainting the Algorithm

A discussion on Netflix's 4K service and the importance of maintaining separate user profiles. Sharing a login can "taint the algorithm," leading to unwanted recommendations based on another person's viewing habits. The cost of 4K upgrades on various streaming platforms is compared.

netflix· 4k· algorithm· streaming· tech news

2:25:47 Worth the jingle. I just wondered if you had any not really oh, then I'll just mention this as a bumper sticker A bumper sticker idea this happened to me now you have Netflix You got the Netflix? I do have the Netflix But I do not have the high-speed net either had that for the 4k yeah, I got the 4k Netflix That's bad, but tell it wait wait. No. I think a review of this would be in order Oh okay, I can also review my new monitor Well, then I can review my new Pals and my new mouse pad. Well the you already did here's the first of all Netflix by a You they got the TV that has it built in and would you have to have the right device? Because then Netflix will give you a message saying hey You can do 4k That'll cost you extra Wilbur yes And then you sign up and you get extra

2:26:42 How much does it cost I think it's an extra two bucks a month. Oh, that's cheap yeah It's well worth the but but much better but oh The quality yeah, I think it's noticeable Amazon kind of screws you though with the 4k because you know you also have to have the 4k device for Amazon to give me the 4k option and And they have this whole section, 4K movies. Which you can't rent you can buy them and they're like 20 bucks. Oh that's so good! 20 bucks! Ah forget it. Exactly that's what I said So when you start up Netflix but i don't know if you have this but we have a screen and on our screen it says Adam Tina and then for some reason kids not that do we have any kids in the household

2:27:29 And so I fired it up and I'm like, I'm just going to log into...I just clicked the button. She says you're logging into my thing? Yeah so don't taint my algo bro! There's your bumper sticker. Well first of all let's stop there. The CEO of Netflix himself said that is fine to share accounts In fact, that you have two accounts. No we don't have two accounts it's one account with separate logins but if I log into her account and i start watching stuff then it'll mess up her algorithm and she'll get the wrong things recommended like you know... Oh who cares? Car shows! I thought it was something worth mentioning that algos can be tainted by friends and family

Project Veritas, Planned Parenthood Ultrasound Sting

James O'Keefe's Project Veritas released undercover footage showing Planned Parenthood staff stating they only perform ultrasounds for patients seeking abortions. The sting aimed to challenge the organization's claims about providing broad reproductive health services, such as prenatal checkups or gender reveals.

project veritas· james o'keefe· planned parenthood· ultrasound· abortion

2:28:25 I think that's the idea. No, that's not the idea! The idea is to have your own algorithm That's your tech news? That's why I said didn't want the jingle...I didn't make any big point about it. Oh, no, I agree. I mean, I'm with you on that but I'm still disappointed Okay let's talk about your monitor which has successfully gotten you to misread at least five names. That monitor must be dynamite, that thing. I can't wait. It sucks man. Alright screw it Let's do some undercover video then A brand new project, Varia Veritas. This is the James O'Keefe always entertaining and one of the main things and they were out on the street again and you have this local Austin charity I'll just repeat it briefly. It's a NGO it's non-governmental organization nonprofit and they hire college kids for I don't know how much an hour. And I think there may be a bounty for each person that sign up

2:29:24 And they throw on the t-shirt for whatever, and they got a little iPad. They act as if they are working with that organization whether it's Save The Children or Planned Parenthood or ACLU... Actually there was a new gambit this weekend They had a whole bunch of black guys dressed up sharp, sharp suits. But they were the suits were almost identical with all the ties had diagonal stripes. But there were ties in where little bowties like the black Muslims? Hmm. They could have improved it with that

2:30:02 But these guys, you know they did a really good job at 10. This was for ACLU and of course I was just ready for that so I engaged a little bit saying yeah you know it had really appreciated but you don't actually work for ACLU but the guy was nice about it but most kids are getting a little annoying when they try this kid tactics. You walk up and see them already and they try to engage with like hey! You're really tall You know, that kind of stuff. Yeah yeah that kind of stuff um so what was my point? What was I going to say uh you're good you lost me ah damn it there was something important oh yes okay so project Veritas back to Planned Parenthood So one of the main defenses of Planned Parenthood for it to receive governmental funding through Medicare

2:30:55 Medicare or Medicaid? I think it's Medicare, is that they perform all kinds of services for reproductive health. And there has always been a contentious argument over do they provide breast exams or not mammography and that's kind of...I'm not sure what the answer is But for sure you would expect if they provide reproductive health that you should be able to get a ultrasound from them, don't you think? How's my baby doing? Is this where this is going? This is where this is going. Yes So I can be contentious and say no, I don't think so You don't think so? They actually do ultrasound Well good for them Under one condition

2:31:46 You have to get an abortion. That's correct project Veritas called no Yes, project veritas called or walked into and if you see the video They have all the states where they went into these Planned Parenthood And asked the same question I was kind of hoping for an ultrasound because I would love to have um you know The pictures make sure the baby is healthy and stuff like that You know see the gender we won't be able to tell you if it's healthy or the gender If your you know We specialize in abortions, you know that's what our ultrasounds are for to see how far along the patient is. Do you do any ultrasounds in your clinic at all? Um we do but not as standalone What do you mean? We don't do them by themselves What do you do them with

2:32:29 We do them when performing abortion procedures. Okay, so you said that they use ultrasounds for terminations only? Yes. We tell you if your pregnant and we also let the parent know how to do the abortions. Okay... So other than a pregnancy test I heard you guys had ultrasound? It wouldn't be possible- No! We only do ultrasounds if you are terminating. Oh.... Would it be possible to get an ultrasound just check that the baby is healthy? No, not something we have. Oh okay you don't offer... I thought you did offer ultrasounds but maybe i was confused We do have to do an ultrasound with an abortion but we can't do it. I mean I can just keep going it's the same thing over and over Yeah I guess they go over and over just to prove because nobody thinks everyone thinks these are rigged yeah that's terrible! That kind of is. That's gross So they say they do ultrasounds but they won't tell you the gender of the baby

2:33:26 Or if the baby's healthy, just okay this is still in time to abort it. If anything it's bad optics for them. Well all the stuff that these Veritas guys do is bad optics. Designed to get bad optics I'm surprised people don't really appreciate them much. These evil people going out there and getting these videos you could say And then the latest one that really got me was that, what were the one about selling the baby parts? That's an old one. Yeah I'm just saying though, that meme that came out you know another one of these bogus memes it shows up just to keep people from realizing what was going on which was that there was highly edited! Yes deceptively edited. You saw the original thing. We saw all of it yeah we saw all of it There was there...I have to say there was definitely one thing they messed it up They put in a shot

Mike Pence, The Brand Reinforcer

Vice President Mike Pence is characterized as a "brand reinforcer" for the Trump administration. While noted for his disciplined messaging, he is also described as a "boring" speaker compared to the President, though effective at maintaining the administration's public image.

2:34:24 of a fetus in a bowl, and that was video from something else. So you do that... Well that must be highly edited! It's deceptively edited Was the overall message distorted is what I always like to interpret No, I don't think so. There is a new meme someone sent to me Factually challenged Here's the longer context Betsy, to you I mean he actually didn't answer O'Reilly's question there. No not at all and the fact is that Trump and his team are really factually challenged. Factually challenged! I like it. I'm like a like it. That's such a good one. Factually challenged. You gotta say it right though. Factually challenged. Now I've caught something that was kind of odd

2:35:18 Play this, this is a very short clip obviously it's only 92k. But I just think it's inappropriate! Okay... This is the clip in the house In the house And this is Pence Ah Leonard Leo everybody is in the house What is he? A rapper?! You know the only thing he does well He does very well at reinforcing the brand I saw an interview with him Oh he's great He's great at reinforcing the brand But he is, you know... Please let's not have anything happen to Trump and have this guy be our president because he's boring. He starts off and you want to like him and then it's like oh shut up! You're boring me to tears. He's boring? He has that same kind of look all the time on his face? He is very... He's not as bad as Kerry

Oh look how many haters there are just like me but no thanks my wife will not approve of this and then of course the most trending hater topic on the app is drumroll please President Trump, which is interesting since the app came out just shortly after Trump took office. But hey perhaps it's this new wave of hate the country has been engulfed in who knows like hate crimes, hate speech and of course hating Justin Bieber but at the peak The peak of this hate movement was really the 2016 elections.

CHAPTER 40 / 43 Discussion

Iben Thranholm, The Feminization of Europe

Danish journalist Iben Thranholm argues on RT that Europe has become dangerously feminized, leaving it unable to defend against aggressive cultures. She criticizes European men who wore skirts in solidarity with women, claiming that the loss of traditional masculine virtues has created a security vacuum in the face of terrorism and crime.

iben thranholm· denmark· feminization· masculinity· rt

2:41:32 clips if we want to get to it, but this has precedence. The war on men as we know is big. It's real it's here it's happening it's uh what is the war on men oh yeah the feminization of males um We have been talking about this for many years. Oh yeah! And the story comes from RT, take it with a grain of salt you want but they... The reason why it came to my attention is because they highlighted the Netherlands when they protested against Trump when they actually did the women's march so this was the day after the inauguration women all over the world marched

2:42:10 Not just women, but men. And in the Netherlands specifically as they point out here and happened in other places many men who marched with women put skirts on They wore skirts to show their... Kilt? No skirts not kilts actual skirts Women's skirts To show the solidarity Oh yeah that shows it It does I think they should have just cut their nuts off That'd show it too, don't you think? There is a Danish journalist and she's also a talk radio host who was interviewed in this bit for RT. Iben Thranholm And she says this is a very big problem We have incredible issues with what has happened to men... We talked about Thranholm couple shows ago Well here she is

2:42:55 Men in minis. This was the reaction by some Dutch protesters to recent mass sexual attacks in Germany, taking a stand...in skirts. It was on the same day as the Women's March but I guess they had a different motive But will it solve the problem? Iban, I get the message about women. They are not the problem What message will this send to the men who attacked? Well when we see this video is exactly at the core problem Men in Europe or many men are acting like women and those men from those

2:43:31 Foreign countries, asylum seekers they don't respect women. So when men act like women I mean we do have a problem because we have no masculine power in our society to fight back this male aggressive culture. If you look at our politicians they're very soft they are like mothers I mean, they are embracing their inclusive and they talk about how we should embrace refugees. Of course we should help people that are in need but they can't deal with the rapings, they can't deal with terrorism so European politicians look very weak and that's because our culture has become feminized this militant feminism that has been going on for decades now we see the consequences

2:44:15 men here are brought up to be women and think like women and be soft-minded. That is what Europe is about, that is part of European qualities that the European Union promotes it talks about promoting at least all the time in these refugees are coming remember its RT into Europe shouldn't they adapt to that Well, I think that was not what Europe used to be. Normally we have had male hero virtues and a culture needs to be balanced It's fine that we have women rights and I really defend them but I think for the culture to be balanced and work out well you need both the masculine part and feminine part And now the masculine part is lost We see how the postmodern values are just construction

2:45:03 And it's a very fragile fundament. And now we see that you don't have any male that can stand up, who can fight back those male aggressions that we are facing So the vacuum that feminism has created means women are becoming victims of those male aggression aggressions. Maybe this secular humanism is just an illusion because it doesn't work, I mean we see that women are threatened in many centers for people that come as refugees we have violence against Christians rapings and our politicians don't know how to deal with it you see that the terrorist has the upper hand

2:45:48 Our leaders cannot protect our culture because they don't know how to be masculine. They don't know how to fight back, because they don't dare too and I think it's a huge problem so we need sort of male revolution you know it is very simple it means that men needs to take responsibility to go back to the old male virtues to defend women children and the culture Because now, I mean this postmodern project is dead. It doesn't work And if we continue to be like soft and we have this idea that there is no evil Everybody is nice If they just get a car and their job and they get well integrated everything's fine. It's not gonna work Sounds like the EU to me

2:46:28 She is under attack by the Danish Parliament. I'll bet she is, I'll bet she's under attack by everybody! And she has been accused of being a Russian stooge because she shows up on RT all the time. Yeah, she's a Putin lover. Putin? Putin lover But she is funny that's a classic from her everything she says and talks about it is about that. I liked that, made me chuckle. I enjoyed it You want to hear it? Here's from the Bill Maher show. They had, they had the CFR guy, the head of the Council on Foreign Relations as one, as a sit down guest. Wait was this the uh... The show with I saw Tommy Lahren was on it

CHAPTER 41 / 43 Discussion

Richard Haass, Council on Foreign Relations Globalism

Richard Haass, President of the Council on Foreign Relations, appeared on Bill Maher's show to argue that the world cannot function without U.S. leadership. Haass expressed concern that Trump's "America First" policy will lead to global disarray, while critics argue the CFR represents a "drinking club" for globalist interests.

richard haass· cfr· bill maher· globalism· sovereignty

2:47:11 Were she on this show? No, I don't think this is the Tommy Show. I think Tommy came in the next week. Oh, I haven't seen that one yet but all right... This is a guy, the CFR guy and Mara's just so all-in on the global thing he doesn't give a crap about sovereignty of the United States because he's always like borderline nodding his head the whole time this guy is going on and on and on. And he's from big drinking club, Council on Foreign Relations nice Yeah well maybe more to it than that Which you always assert, so let's listen to what he has to say. Okay here we go... We want them to do well economically over the last few years more Americans and more Mexicans rather have left than have come in this is working So why do you want to change it? Plus if you really do want a renegotiate bill This is not exactly a way to get the Mexicans to show more flexibility He wouldn't come here Why don't we think he's gonna compromise And also Donald Trump has a 3% approval rating in Mexico

2:48:06 And they know who he is, you know unlike some presidents when they first take office. They don't like Donald Trump my question to you and you would know this is do we have enough leverage? I mean I feel like he thinks it's 1945 and we can tell everybody in the world To do exactly what we want and they will and I think if he tries to pull this kind of stuff out Mexico will become hostile, every country will become hostile and I don't think we have that kind of pull anymore. We don't one of the reasons i wrote this book about a world in disarray is that's exactly right what you've seen as a real spreader capacity North Korea now has real capabilities China obviously does Russia does we can just insist on things plus it's globalization now we can just make things work ourselves when they do the right thing but unless others also do the right thing whether dealing with terrorism or cyber you name it

2:48:56 alone we don't have a lot of options. But we also learned this the hard way, we learned it in Iraq and Vietnam. We may be stronger than anyone on paper but bringing that to bear in practice is something very different." Right and if we make the world live without us they might find they like it better. I actually argue the opposite. I think the world without us, it's not that anyone else replaces us It's not that it works itself out It actually begins to get really bad The...I actually think a world left to its own devices will not sort itself out That's probably right Yeah we're seeing in the Middle East In some ways the Middle East has much less of us They didn't do so well when they had a lot of us But they are also doing so well when they have very little of us Right We rambleize the place

2:49:46 We go in there, rubbleize the place and then we get out and they say look there's no Americans. It's just worse it's terrible if we had not butted in in the first place I'm sure would be fine yeah yeah Tina has been reading my William Engdal book he's the professor that kind of got me started on the pipeline wars And he has a new book out and she just every like 10 minutes is like, oh my God. We're such assholes You know what? She should read hmm who's trade organization Wto whose trade organizate that is a grab reading it Holy crap Is that book good who wrote it this thing Oh this woman is couple people but there's one woman she's been I get some clips from her because she was on uh Yeah, that'd be good
