00:00 Or his Twitter feed. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora It's Thursday March 2nd 2017 This is your award winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 908 This is no agenda Straddling all universes because we can And broadcasting live from the darkest corners of the internet Here in downtown Austin Tejas Tumor Region 6 In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's sunny again What next? I'm John C. DeVore, and this is Crackpot & Buzzkill! In the morning! Okay... It's sunny. Yes, it's sunny. I'm happy we have this info. And we got lots of mudflats. Bigger than ever. Ehh, in the morning to you there, John. In the morning to you Mr Adam Curry, in the morning all boots on the ground. Yeah yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. A little bit of a premature. Ah well some stuff to get out of the way at the beginning here I think

00:57 Well, we can start with the Oscars. Yeah we can do that! The Academy Awards? No, we could do that Or what? You have something in mind... No I don't actually, I'm completely open Well let's discuss the Oscars then because I think I promised you were going to do it in a newsletter Yes you did Although that doesn't stop us before It doesn't mean we will actually do anything Was it rigged? Was that whole thing a scam? It's interesting. I saw your wife post on the face bag Oh, yeah she is convinced she is convinced it was uh...it was a scam Yes you can totally convince and she didn't do a beef with anyone who didn't agree Now this of course my first thought even though Tina and I we weren't able to watch the whole thing live because we were in Vietnam

01:52 When we came back it was still going and you know, it certainly did the job of getting attention if it was intentional. But I don't see why that would be something that would be set up that way. Certainly not by PricewaterhouseCoopers they're not crazy Well, there are being reevaluated to that's why that's why it's possible that they were gonna get fired anyway So I'm not buying that here. Here's my one take on this in so far as what? I think it was a scam or publicity stunt and I kind of agree with Mimi about the Kind of blaming the old people they bring two old farts out

02:34 You know, Statler and... Well it was Bonnie and Clyde. And there was a programmatic reason behind it. Yeah yeah they could have flashed the pictures on the screen they could have done a lot of different things true but they bring him out for the last thing and then their goofing around up there and she's ends up reading the wrong thing because he got the card cuz there's two cars that come in Supposedly. Here's the clip, I do have a clip and this is Jimmy Kimmel on his own show trying to explain what happened of course he doesn't you know as far as he's concerned this was just an accident As i walked off stage people started speculating around me saying did you pull a prank or something?

03:19 I did not pull a prank. If i pulled the prank by the way, I wouldn't have just had the wrong winner's name on the envelope when they opened it there would have been like a Bed Bath & Beyond coupon in the end. It was not a prank and by the way the producers of La La Land were very gracious which they did not have to be on stage at all They handled it well. It was a very amicable custody arrangement, they didn't ask for visitation or anything but... So after the show I went back in the green room to talk to Warren Beatty because still nobody knows what happened and he showed me evidence you know when you do a show like this you aren't just the host your also lead detective You're like the sheriff of the show Warren Beatty could be in prison right now if I wanted him

04:06 But the card he had said, LaLa Land Emma Stone. Which is weird because Emma Stone who won Best Actress for LaLa Land at that moment was in the press room doing interviews saying this... I also was holding my best actress in a leading role card that entire time So whatever story, I don't mean to start stuff but whatever story that was. I had that card so she said she had the card but i was with Warren and he had the card well it turns out they both have a card for whatever reason they have two of each card in each envelope there's a regular envelope and backup envelopes just make it more confusing

04:43 So the accountants gave Warren the wrong card and they apologized for it today. So it wasn't Warren Beatty's fault, and Faye Dunaway made quite a getaway she got the hell out of there. She had the wrong name and she split. We wanted no part of her. She was smart too And then I spent the whole rest of the night answering questions about it It was quite an evening. It really was. Well, she looks good for someone who doesn't look anything like fade the huntaway There you go. She was pretty rough when she did that movie with Johnny Depp But then I don't know if you came back a little bit. I do have one listening to that there's only one thing I can imagine Okay If i'm not mistaken they were like 90 minutes over on time and

05:35 They were? How does this work?" Well, that's what I heard. I thought they were way long way over time. I've watched this thing especially throughout the shows For I don't know decades mm-hmm and when they're over They start to bitch about it. They start to shorten everything at the end And then they and then they kill it very quickly, and then they rolled if any Chris. Do you hardly roll credits? Okay so this thing well Let me give my thinking because they were over I think 30 to 45 minutes over The only thing the only reason why this might have been set up in fake is too

06:12 take away from the disaster that is with the local stations and local advertising, and the made goods. And all this crap that goes on. That's the only thing I can imagine otherwise I'm not seeing it. It was the only show I've ever seen that went over where it appeared not to have gone over at all they had plenty of time at the end for all those shenanigans and all of miss you know people running around on the set yeah the guy there floor manager with his headset on and all the other stuff that would to be going on sincerely. And then they wrapped it up, everybody got to say their both movies got this say thank you for forever and then they

06:51 I don't know. Do you have a theory so we can move on? This was the, it was staged. It was just staged. I've never seen them do a show where they got so much time at the end. It's almost like let's make our big pile of room at the end for this great stunt we're gonna pull." I do have one little clip to play for you. This is not the first time this has happened on The Academy Awards

07:28 It happened in 1964 where the wrong winner was read and it was Sammy Davis Jr. Who? Was the Warren Beatty in this case for the best music score adaptation of treatment are John Green for Bye-Bye Birdie Andre Previn for Emma Ladoose I love that we used to say Irma LaDouche, but I guess it's LaDoose Lee Stevens for A New Kind of Love, Maurice Girard for Sunday's Incibel and George Broun for The Sword in the Stone. And the winner is John Addison for Tom Jones That wasn't even nominated in this category and still people are clapping. Idiots! They gave me the wrong envelope? Wait till the NAACP hears about this

08:26 Killer joke Sammy Davis killer killer guys for me. Yeah, yeah alright good onward from that Hollywood is fake no matter what yeah well I enjoy talk a little bit about what it was since we were on Hollywood first thing We might as well just mention something the Chinese have changed some rules About what can and cannot be shown in China so far as Hollywood movies are concerned oh And they're the new bastion of hope for Hollywood with the Chinese studios. Yeah, well there's a lot of Chinese investment in Hollywood. Well not only that but they have

09:09 There's a lot of, yes. There is a lot of Hollywood investment in China they get but these new studios they've got some billion dollar studios they put up and all the rest... Do you want to play a little bit of this clip? This is yeah China movies new band. Socialist values as you have pointed out. Oh stop hold on a second. You should also at the list there at the very beginning they give a list of socialist values which is worth writing down. Okay. Socialist values as you have pointed out of patriotism, dedication integrity and friendship really a lot of concepts together difficult to remember but basically that's pretty much summed up I think in the values of many different countries right? In different societies people would value basically the same thing. But there is vital difference between socialism and capitalism And right now China proclaim love and clear in black-and-white

10:17 and white what the market is allowing. That is, any work that differs ideologically from socialism or social core will not be welcomed and this is something that Hollywood really needs to take into its consideration. Do you think it's good for Chinese film creators to have this guideline? Because some people would say look they're trying to put a regulation on your creativity. I think it's quite limiting and is restricting, i do not think this good but understand the rationale of China

10:56 China has been a country, has been founding this country on socialism and communism. Its very core is to put the collective interest beyond the individual or above the individual which is the very essence of individual freedom, it's the core of capitalism that is actually the essence of American dream if we think about why Hollywood films are so popular in China a sign of Chinese audience wanting to share more of American dream although China or Chinese government is Promoting the China Dream so okay

11:36 Well, you know this is the I think what it would you know our movies are corrupting influences. Yes culturally only a culture at a cultural level but that's enough to really dig into and that's why the French limit something you know our movie distribution there and the Chinese have gotten a clue and i think she nailed it at the end where it's the American dream and individualism Right, that's not the Chinese dream. No, far from it actually! Yes and so they don't like this promotion of this idea in China and I think they rightly decided to ban it. That is a real problem if I'm thinking about almost every movie

12:19 that's made in Hollywood has some kind of American Dream element to it. Generally, at least the ones that are supposed to liven you up and as opposed just the depressing ones And I think this is a huge problem for Hollywood, because what are they going to do? Because if you start going into the socialist propaganda style which is what China wants now. You look like you should be in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee being called out as a communist So this is very interesting development. It's a huge part of the budget. And this is law now? Yes, yes they all the movies have to go through a committee that decides if they had anything has anything to do with

13:04 kind of downplaying socialist values, the ones they listed at the front. Why do the Chinese keep taking this? I mean, I guess they really believe it and they really love it. It's not like China is completely isolated. There are plenty of proxies and people can get through the big firewall of China. The young kids just accept all this? Yeah, I guess so. Why wouldn't they? They could probably make the same argument. Why are these people believing in this nonsense?" Well, there's a good point there... Why is the most important thing in America the Oscars? Yeah, there you go. So this will be...we'll keep an eye on this but this is gonna bode what they've been doing although nobody likes to talk about it as the American movie makers will. They did the same thing for Germany during just pre-World War II when they were knuckling under do whatever Hitler's told them because so well that we're going to lose like whatever that market is, the German market and so they'd reedit

13:58 Yeah, oh gosh. Yes I remember that oh man absolutely now They're gonna re-edit for China you can count on it though The screenwriters will have to come up with a idea where they can write it in such a way that you can swap out Parts of it that are we're gonna offend the Chinese hmm I will say that there were a number of stories, I think the New Yorker actually had a big piece about how the Oscars represented the actual split in the universes that had taken place when Trump won the presidency. And so they're comparing what happened at the Oscars where the wrong movie won to the election but specifically... Yes in fact I think yeah a lot of people have made this observation that it was just a fractal

14:49 But specifically stating alternate universe and that's when the split occurred. Yeah, I love that. Sounds right. It's where our theory is so... Well we're the straddlers! Yep, we try although i did get a nasty note from someone What's that you guys I don't understand how two smart guys can be a big apology Trump apologists You know wonder where you get this and it's like of course. I looked him up He was the guy who has never you know he's been listening to show supposedly forever is never donated a nickel and And if he had IV it gummy could have to have a $5 check that comes in its possible, but I Don't think so right

15:35 But it was the same thing and it's like, you know these guys on the other side of this chasm are they just see in fact I have a clip with Chris Matthews who is has some Republican. They're talking about the aftermath of the speech Trump speech which we'll get to and Matthews is going on and on with this guy about well what do you think about Trump who just he said that because there were a lot of people Called Trump an exploitation expert when well, just to stop you there for a second. They were on the face back Especially the alternate universes were so apparent after this speech You know people just saying you know just listening that was the most racist misogynistic, you know like wow I didn't hear it. I didn't hear that yeah Maybe it was fluffy But if I don't know about all of that and a lot of people were I'm not watching

16:30 This is my favorite. I'm not watching, i'm watching TBS! Fine." Yeah well here's Chris Matthews this clip called the dimension report and he's carping on something that the other guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about...I didn't know what he was talking about and so then Chris backs it up with with the clip to prove his point and he- I don't know what he's hearing in this clip but it's not in there You know, I think Chuck Schumer is a big boy and able to take it but also his rhetoric sometimes stings us on our side too. You know the last night I was taken with Karen Owens of course the widow of the soldier whose life was just lost and I thought that was as I've said the most honest communication ever saw last night when she looked up at heaven and talked about her lost husband how could anybody not love that humanity in love?

17:25 And yet I thought, I just have a hard time with the president here because i think he at the same time is paying tribute to this loss. He's blaming it on the generals and presidents aren't they supposed to say that buck stops here? I'm the commander in chief, I made the call there are casualties of war That's what wars about people shooting each other you know its part of the cause if you get through wonderful we don't get through it your sacrifice for your country why is he out their blaming the generals even though his part of this wonderful That's such a stretch from what Trump actually said, which was... He is basing this though on an interview after or before. Yes exactly when Trump said you know they went in but they lost Ryan Exactly Which everyone is now translating to oh blaming the generals Well he even plays the clip as you'll hear and it I you can hear it again

18:20 And it's like, I don't see that either. But this is again... This is a great example of the dimensional split. Yes. The event last night of remorse? I don't get why he's blaming the generals explain Well Chris okay now you've said that four times. I really didn't hear that. I think he said that the generals have said this was a successful raid They said they lost them. He said the generals lost them Well, okay. I don't think he's blaming the generals. Obviously we lost a troop that sad. We lost an expensive piece of equipment and...

18:57 That's cold that's very cold is the soldier an expensive piece of equipment I think it debate and I will say it at the end of the day. That's where they do the calculation God an expensive piece of equipment And that's regrettable. But he also said, my advisors say we had success and that we got important information. Anybody who pays a price like that should get credit for whatever is achieved but look at this here is the president speaking about Chief Ryan Owens in a Fox News interview this week The President said it was the generals who wanted to conduct that raid on Yemen and they lost Ryan watch what he says

19:39 Well, this was a mission that was started before I got here. This was something that they wanted to do and they came to see me and explained what they wanted to do the generals who were very respected my generals are most respected we've had in many decades i believe and they lost Ryan. What do you make of it? I don't read into that he's blaming the Generals Maybe not the best choice of words, but you know he was complimentary of The advice that he got. He said that they Yeah

20:23 Before Matthews is nuts. Well, he likes doing this is what he did with a hypothetical question towards Trump about women being penalized for abortions He likes doing this and I see I mean the way that changed on On the serious progressive channel it's Yes, it's the dimensional split for sure. But something really odd happened and Tina and I saw it in real time as I was switching back and forth right after the speech we went to CNN And here is what I heard! Van you were saying while watching that about the significance of that moment He became president of United States In that moment Period This is van Jones

21:07 Yeah, I know about this and there's a couple other people at his level that did the same thing. They definitely wasn't showing up at that same thing he wasn't showing up on the floor itself as you know one side wouldn't clap for anything including stuff they had proposed. Well, that's not entirely true. I saw a lot more standing than I expected and of course Tulsi Gabbard was standing and clapping most of the time Have Tulsi Gabbert material get back to the Van Jones and this is a listen to the rest of it. Yes, it was safe there are a lot of people who have A lot of reason to be Frustrated with him to be fearful of him to be mad at him But that was one of the most extraordinary moments you have ever seen in American politics period and he did something extraordinary And for people who have been hoping

22:02 that he would become unifying, hoping that he might find some way to become presidential. They should be happy with that moment for people who have been hoping that maybe he would remain a divisive cartoon which you often finds the way to do they should begin to become a little bit worried tonight because that thing you just saw him do If he finds a way to do that over and over again, he's going to be there for eight years. Now there is a lot that he said in that speech that was counterfactual, that was not right, but I oppose and will oppose But he did something tonight That you cannot take away from him He became President of United States My takeaway is Van Jones isn't it for himself? He wants to be a contrarian voice And this his way of doing it I think its all about him Yeah! Im not gonna argue against that theory

22:55 There's no reason for Van Jones could have just as easily done what a lot of the Democrats and gone off to deep end saying, that guy is still a douchebag. And so what? In fact the best one I think is like a noodle boy character called in on C-SPAN... On the Democrat line? Yeah on the Democrat line and I think this was more typical of what the...I mean here's a guy calls in he sounds like Noodle Boy He's representing the Democrats on the, because he calls it a line of...in fact none of them were any good Democrat calls of any sort. It was kind of weird but this is this was a classic. For The Call we'll move on to a Democrat Joe is joining us from Brooklyn New York so from your side of the aisle what did you hear tonight? What's your reaction? Hey! So um hard to follow that one up but

23:48 I, uh, so I got a little tripped up listening to her. Um... Did you watch the entire speech? Yeah no i watched the entire speech my biggest takeaway was that he was able to read from a teleprompter a little bit better at this time without wearing a red tie which... Okay let's go to Jacob joining us next for our next stoner donor. They had to cut him off." Well Don Lemon was just good old Don Lemon, the overnight legend! And to me it sounds like a speech that was written for someone that he was reciting and there were some big words and big phrases that I don't think that he actually connected too if you just listen to the speech. It didn't sound like his voice because if you look at when he speaks extemporaneously you learn a lot about people The way President Obama spoke extemporaneously was very similar to the way he gave speeches

24:42 the way president bush spoke extemporaneously. Yeah if you're called nothing but stuttering... President Obama spoke extemporaneously, it was very similar to... What does it mean? Extemporaneously what is that off the cuff okay. President Obama I don't know Don Lemon using big words is too big for me. Spoke extemporaneously was very similar to a way he spoke he gave speeches The way President Bush spoke extemporaneously was very similar to the way he gave speeches. The way President Trump speaks extemporaneously is not the same as what he said tonight. It sounded, to me—and this is just—I mean I thought it was… He sounded very presidential. This was a speech written by a college student for someone else trying to use big words to impress that the person who's reciting it did not know the meaning of the words."

25:25 Oh, please. Well first of all he's right there he's projecting because Obama's early speeches were written by a college student exactly and so he's kind of doing a little projecting in there we don't know who wrote this speech but I've heard him read other speeches here and again and that's what he always sounds like when he's reading from a prompter is very slow yeah and deliberate I also didn't see any... I didn't notice it was any different than any other prompter speech he's ever given. No, no, I agree! There was something brand new in the coverage and i don't know if this was only on MSNBC or for there if it was pool video-I'm sure it was pool video, I don't know everyone cut to it? For the first time as the president is in the beast, in the limo they zoomed in all the way to the window

26:12 and he had the dome light on or I don't know there was definitely it was lit, and he's in the car. And he's practicing his speech! And he's holding a piece of paper but listen to how MSNBC did the play-by-play. Or his Twitter feed. Come on, we can do it all the way and there we go here we go here we go there is. Right now come on you can do it all the way oh you're going to come on you know? All the way there we go there we go there is screen or paper look at this like a screener paper who are these people screener paper Twitter finger he's he's lipping and he's doing it practicing yeah but he's actually voicing

27:09 Yeah, we can read lips and get the whole speech previewed right now. This is great! I have never seen this before a president on the way to giving his well almost day of the union and actually practicing it on television Oh that's just crazy he's practicing it on television. I cant believe he'd practice that Why would he buy a car? I mean... Well.. We don't know Are they actually stunned that he practiced this speech yeah It's crazy its great first time ever on television gets a little better Well, we don't know. Look at that! He has no idea he's on television? No idea he is on television... I mean they just haven't been around the machinery of media and the mechanics of South Lawn and that kind of thing long enough. Thanks Brian Williams! See they haven't been around long enough so they do not understand cameras are everywhere and you can get caught on camera when doing this kinda stuff They're newbies, they're fresh. ...of South Lawn and that kind of thing

28:09 This kind of thing is always televised. No, well here never seen that televised Well they somebody you know he was stuck in traffic who knows I mean They did bring that up on CBS too But not they didn't go on and on with a bunch of dimwits but I did get but not they mentioned the media thing play this clip This is the Trump speech pre-speech sag Okay. ...fulfill with congressmen, senators the cabinet military leaders and members of the Supreme Court But you at home are the real audience tonight for a man who brings more television experience to the presidency than anyone since Ronald Reagan The only presidents to belong...to the Screen Actors Guild I thought that was a great tidbit

28:58 That's great. The Screen Actors Guild, that SAG-AFTER by the way these days. Yes exactly and I think she should know that you're required to say SAG after nobody says SAG anymore. She should know that absolutely absolutely yeah um i don't really have much more on the speech uh... I liked it. I got a couple things because I got some complaints Let's see what I got. Speech, I've got a series of clips. A lot of this is... These are short many times but I do have a couple of comments to make. This is the time-of-speech comparison that's kind of interesting.

29:40 Oh, I see it. I'm sorry. Yes. President's speech which ran just over an hour by way of comparison by the way president Reagan speech back in 1981 ran about 32 minutes George Herbert Walker Bush his first speech to Congress around about 42 minutes Barack Obama's first speech ran 51 minutes and Bill Clinton tying President Trump running just about an hour Peter Slutt is keeping track of reaction to the speech. Ups and downs with the audience more than I expected. I'll just say more than I expect Okay, if you watch that RT report there was none and they had some extreme examples that they showed and For the most part two ones I'm gonna clip out these snippets There was none And the one that cracks me a couple of them just cracked me up because of it because this first one here is this Trump speech lobbyist applause saving billions more

30:52 on contracts all across our government. We have placed a hiring freeze on non-military and non-essential federal workers. We have begun to drain the swamp of government corruption by imposing a five year ban on lobbying, by executive branch officials and a lifetime ban And a lifetime ban on becoming lobbyists for a foreign government. Now I left, uh...I cut that applause way down even though it's seamless. Yes well done sir! And in this case

31:34 The Republicans all jumped up and clapped, and all the Democrats sat stone-faced about this lobbyist thing when it was Obama. When he first got in he made a big fuss about this. He sure did! But we can't have lobbyists going back and forth inside and outside the government What changed? Well I'll tell you what changed most of them were dressed in white and too preoccupied with it White that was that was that was really of all things lame. We're gonna be in a little club we're all gonna dress in white and we're gonna be the suffragettes They all look like Ku Klux Klan members In fact, I the first thing I said is how racist are these people? Racist notice I said racists not races racist races How racists are these people they're there and then wearing white the white people wearing white oh

32:21 Here's another little snippet. This is the Trump speech on jobs, jobs, jobs. Since my election Ford Fiat Chrysler General Motors Sprint SoftBank Lockheed Intel Walmart I heard when he said Lockheed I was like wow that is that how you pronounce it? Am I have been doing it wrong all these years? Lockheed Lockheed is like York York him Lockheed I Use this. I say Lockheed lock it's that's because you're saying it right yeah, thank you Since my election, Ford, Fiat Chrysler, General Motors, Sprint SoftBank, Lockheed, Intel, Walmart and many others have announced that they will invest billions and billions of dollars in the United States. And we'll create tens of thousands of new American jobs. Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!

33:23 There's another long applause and then again the Democrats, all the Democrats were seated. Yeah they don't want jobs? We don't want jobs! It was embarrassing... Oh but stop stop I did want to mention i really like what he's doing with The Metrics He said 94 million Americans are not in the workforce. That's a good way to do it, instead of talking about unemployment you say hey you know and you can do the math there's 300 million plus people 95 million are not in the workforce Yeah, well now that you mention it I had to play the CBS clip about that because they called him out on it. Oh! And I'll tell you what's... but did the point is on this last clip The Democrats are all seated because they didn't want jobs I guess? That means that's the implication as far as I can tell yeah and but they took a camera and they zoomed in on Pelosi Yeah, and this is where they had ugly pictures of her like you know their tongue hanging out half asleep

34:17 And so I'm watching this and he's talking about jobs, and this is the let's vote for jobs. Woman and what is she doing sitting on her hands? I just found that extremely That's a good point. That is the woman who said jobs job jobs Let's vote for jobs when President Obama was in office Yeah, but now she sits on her hand off course now. I do have this thing about the 95 million I think CBS fact-check Trump probably this is probably Yeah, let's try that. Yeah, that's it Nancy Some of the problems mr Trump promised to solve last night don't actually exist The president said correctly that 94 million Americans are out of the labor force But that's not an unemployment figure our research department found that in that official number about 15 million our students 44 million are retired

35:15 and 28 million are disabled or caring for someone at home. If 94 million people were looking for a job, the unemployment rate would be 40% rather than the 4.8 percent that it is now." Well interestingly enough—and I'm no mathematician but if you subtract all those...you know roughly half what he said If you subtract those, just disregard them then you still have 40 million over then you're still at a nice 18 to 19 percent unemployment. Well or something closer to what Shadowstat says Yes! I mean he just gave us the numbers thank you

35:58 Well, and even that I want to do a little more research on his numbers and what they... Because there's still missing people. And you can't take the total number of people employed which I don't have in front of me and add 95 to it and get the entire population of the country So, there's... it's just they have this news section of CBS Evening News where they do this fact check. I have a question! Do we count as in the labor force? Does anyone count us? Are we counted? How would they know? Well, a lot of it is statistics. Oh okay so they take a sample

36:37 They're not coming over you guys working What are you working twice a week is that what? You call that you call that a job no, you know yes Is that good could you consider when you write it down can you can you can you think it's a pop up a part-time is that Part time is that what you doing. You do this is a bunch of scumbags right Not working okay onward yeah now we have A couple of things, most of the stuff I have is from kind of pre-speech comments. Let's go to Trump's speech, pre-speech comments from CBS this is as they're rolling in

37:18 Nora, the president is at odds with some of the key members of his own party. He's going to talk tonight about an enormous increase in defense spending for example but he has to get all that through John McCain's armed services committee. John McCain who the other day called a loser who has lost so long and doesn't know how to win anymore And by the way, the press headlines today suggested this was a huge increase in defense spending, which it is. But John McCain wanted more than what President Trump had called for as strengthening. What's not clear yet from the White House is how they will offset that spending—the reduction and other non-discretionary spending—which agencies will take the cut? The State Department, EPA…there are indications of that. There's still more meat on the bone left on this budget that will really lay out

38:09 Where this president wants to make hard choices because in order to do big things you also have to cut things Yeah, sure Anyway I got a kick out of them calling out McCain for when he even raised it to an extreme amount and McCain was on his feet Clapping yeah. He was clapping now and again so is actually Lindsey Graham but particularly when that came up with the Budget increase for the military, but he wanted more but they cut to him Yeah, a lot of this is yeah. I don't know who's doing the direction of the pool but they're nailing it. They're nailing a lot of stuff. Still the best

38:50 stuff was the Stuff done by photographers who had caught people, you know sitting there and on their way or stupid look on their face or whatever I think the last one here. I've got which is interesting The thing I do like about these speeches It's the only time that we're kind of like the UK Parliament We're clapping were standing and we're sitting we're laughing word, you know, we're woo-woo Yeah, we're kind of but nobody's going making a lip racket. I do have some p.m.. Question stuff today for people who like that let's try this last one which is another pre speech

39:26 Is it pre speech or after the speech? I'm not sure but this is the Trump's speech, pre-speech polling. Now the president insists his administration is running like a fine tuned machine But as poll numbers seem to reflect otherwise only 39% of Americans approve Of the job that he is doing and there was a sharp division on that 82 percent of Republicans say Mr.. Trump is doing a good job only 6% of Democrats think so Six percent! There's your dimensional split. 82 to 6, that's what the numbers are. Of course I don't know how they get to the total of 39 using those figures but when one entire party

40:07 is not going to believe in anything you do or say, I guess that would cause a problem. You know, I think this speech mattered. I think whether you're in one universe of the other it had an effect and America remains a show business country and you put on an act and people will believe it and I think Trump did a great job! And people will believe it. And he got some help there and assist from people like Van Jones, and... This is a... And Van Jones wasn't the only one. Who else? A lot of these other pundits I don't remember offhand but a lot of the pundits that hated Trump did have told them about Van Jones It seemed specifically so that CNN was very kind. And I wonder if that has anything to do with anything Well being called fake news left-and-right maybe That could be

41:03 We don't know yeah, I don't know. I overall I thought the speech was just a speech That wasn't jacked up about it by any means no No John, I don't think I was jacked up on it either. No one's gonna get jacked up we did get A song I want to play this for you secret agent Paul who does so much for us He did a song and it's, I mean this is actually incredible. This guy is such a pro and he has a YouTube video and the song is Love Trumps Hate And in the YouTube video you see images continuously of The protesters burning cars smashing windows And this is a no agenda cast of thousands Secret Agent Paul brought in John Fletcher Naughty Nurse Danielle

41:55 I just got to share this with you because it's... When you hear Fletcher in there, then it really becomes funny. But otherwise this is something that could actually go on to be a hit! Good yeah who knows? We are one people With one destiny We all bleed the same blood From his speech The same black And we all made by the same God Here we go! I'm trying, I'm trying to be a good man Don't want America I'm trying, I'm trying to be a good man Oh modulation! I'm trying, I'm trying to be a good man We who live for those Must be lifted today

43:20 Fantastic. David Bowie, Bob Dylan... They're all in the No Agenda cast of thousands! Yeah it sounds like one of those songs that you'd hear. We Are The World yeah. Any of those songs where they've written specifically for some cause so somebody can gouge the public for all these donations? Well I certainly hope it's a secret agent Paul may it become a big success for you Yeah, that was good. Oh man funny we got great producers Wow did you see Rosie O'Donnell? No oh I'm you know maybe I did But I don't remember so I started to break this up into multiple clips and then said no screw it We just have to play this

44:16 There's so much to unravel in the universe, and she may have her own universe actually. She may be in something completely all to her own! And she was in Washington DC I guess there was a big demonstration or a demonstration before the speech and she got up...and I just want to share this with you and we'll stop as appropriate Look at this crowd of 1.8 million people! Right off the bat she's trying to do a joke? Yeah And it falls flat, just no timing It's hard doing a joke in front of a mob Very difficult It's not good because nobody can hear you Right Yeah it's dumb This is Donald Trump math ladies and gentlemen

45:10 You say it, the media buys it. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are equal." She decided the way to go here was to recite a little bit of our Constitution. "...are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights that among these are life liberty and pursuit of happiness and not just secure these rights...men's are instituted deriving their just power from the consent of the governed. Ever becomes destructive, these ends it is the right of the people to all abolish it! Ah I see where she's going. And to institute new government! That is why we are here!

46:14 Yeah, we want her runnin' the place. Get it much better! This is not Russia! What? To Donald Trump and his pathetic band of white privileged criminal businessmen... Wow I want that on my business card. I am a criminal white privileged businessman Oh no, white privileged criminal businessman Pleasure to meet you sir. I would like to say to him yes You gotta get that ISO, that's the beauty. Excuse me? Is it knee yet?

47:07 But she's hysterical. She's hysterical! Yeah, of course I had that ISO to look. Oh stop there it is the internet rules we're all yet done Oh man, she's insane. He lies!

48:01 No. It's a very good president, it's a really good idea. This idea is going to be big and good and lots of people are talking about it." Oh now she's doing impersonations huh? What?! I think of Trump! That's the one that got Trump riled up years ago when he started calling her a pig. Because she did an imitation before and its just the worst.

48:41 It's a bigly good idea. We'll tell that to Ryan Owens father, sir." Oh I love this! Who is abusing who now? How dare you Donald Trump?! This is America it is not yours. It is not corporately owned. It is of the people by the people and for the people and we the people will not stand for He has degraded and bullied women his entire life and career. The president of the United States has been accused of rape! Mines report that, newspapers... Yeah whatever happened to all those uh accusers? I don't know They just disappeared

49:30 Yeah, that's interesting. That's the fact Jack OK baby. That's how we're gonna bag. The fact jack from now on down and dirty like Donald Trump no big words just the truth and you know what the truth is a very handsome conservative man stopped me on my way up with his iPhone asked me with his charming Irish 30-year old face if George Soros had paid me to come here. And I said, sir, I have never met George Soros but he seems like a lovely man. One day I'd like to share a souvlaki with him." Now this is interesting because she's now presuming that Soros is Greek? I guess? Oh yeah, she's making some sort of stereotypical... Yeah. Bigoted much? Roger O'Donnell? Yeah, Soros is Hungarian

50:19 Not so greedy, but he seems like a lovely man. One day I'd like to share a souvlaki with him! I've only met your friend Donald two times once at his wedding to Marla Maples where he shook the hands of the guests at the wedding as he walked down the aisle to take his vows. Warning, warning! Warning Will Robinson! Now she's doing The Robot from Lost in... It was actually Danger, Danger Will Robinson not Warning She's off her rocker This is good And another time At a game show

51:03 I don't know him. I know he's a bully, he's a mean man and hates women. He has taken away women rights and we will not stand for it! He has taken away women rights? I'm here with the ACLU, I am here with the NAACP, I'm here with Flynn and clean water for every American! People will get him out! Do peace and don't fear the rain! What sir?! WHAT?! Oh my goodness poor Rose Wow, you know I had I helped her get started in show business. They ever tell you that story Okay here we go yeah Yeah, just remembered at MTV We had vh1 at the time and she was doing comedy stand-up like rascals and West Orange Which is pretty small place since she was not really getting anywhere very much and Steve leads who? He was like

52:03 director of on-air talent, whatever he was who now does the same job at SiriusXM. He said, I really want to get Rosie O'Donnell on VH1. So Adam would you please do the audition with her? And so essentially I sat there and she talked and just made jokes about me the whole time which was yeah she's like Adam Curry like you're such a Barbie doll! Like you have Mattel stamped on your butt it was marginally funny but that's how she got started then she got on vh1 and that's how our career was launched so i take full responsibility I'm very sorry Yeah, you could have just gone back to the guy and said she sucks. She's really bad! Just don't put her on it. It would be a huge mistake in your career. No I actually went to see her at Rascals in West Orange. She was funny. I liked her but this is awesome. That's what you brought on us thank you very much. You're welcome. Now of course she's talking about impeachment we're still on this 25th amendment thing

52:58 And let's bring out another comedian, Kathy Griffin. Might as well bring her on MSNBC and see what she has to say about it. Look Chris I feel like this whole crowd they are truly going to go down the good news is as i say to my younger friends don't forget Agnew resigned before Nixon so there can be a situation where more than one person goes down Well Chris please tell me you're never gonna let go of this Russian ties story? I really think that's the one! I think its bipartisan yeah I think there's so much their No, they're all on this Russia thing. They come to me very sadly disappointed and Rob Reiner of course another Hollywood Rob Reiner by the way I would recommend people on Twitter first of all follow me at The Real Dvorak The real Dvorak But you should follow Rob Reiner because it's like listening to the rantings of a complete off-the-rails lunatic It's very good stuff And he was on Chris Matthews and

53:56 He is convinced that Trump will be impeached or quit or something like that and of course That would mean that Mike Pence will become the president of the United States And so as they're watching some b-roll of Pence here is I think it was a Matthew's with Rob Reiner But he's also sitting there saying I'm going to be the president pretty soon. As soon as all of this, as soon as all the connections to Russia and how it was coordinated with him... Do you think he's leaking all this stuff? ...and the money that is exchanged... Rob, is he the leaker? Do you think he's the leaker? Listen if I were Pence I'd be leaking like a sieve! He has a chance to become President And let us hope that never happens It will ruin it for us

54:42 Yeah, well maybe not boring guys born. Well there's that yeah definitely won't be fun No I have a couple more just quick things before we go to a break on the heels of all of this show business stuff Lots of conversations about people in show business and their role in politics. Oprah was at a Bloomberg forum and was commenting on Donald Trump's presidency, in relation to herself. So have you ever thought that given the popularity you have we haven't broken the glass ceiling yet for women that you could actually run for president and actually be elected?

55:31 I actually never thought that was, I never considered the question even a possibility. I just thought oh oh right because it's clear that you don't need government experience to be elected president of the United States. That's what I though! Oh gee I don't have the experience, I don't know enough and now i'm thinking oh I'd vote for her. Yeah, she could! The problem is that it's always overlooked is that Trump actually has been kind of playing with the ideas since 98? 96? Yeah a long time ago and on Oprah even there's you know if any...I don't have any clips but if you look for we I think we had that clip a long time ago. Trump on Oprah and he's saying the same things same things exactly the same things

56:26 Scratch is not easy. Let's see, Ben Stein on CNN really only pulled this clip because he uses the verbiage appropriately Did you hear what he said yesterday at CPAC where he was talking about the media? I saw some of it actually on CNN as you were excerpting it. Yes, that was true. So he said that he called the media the enemy of the people which is what we heard him say before on Twitter so yeah he said that out loud He accused the media of making things up Of making up sources

57:07 Is that something you would give credence to? Or what is going on there with what he's saying. I wouldn't say all of the media is the enemy of people but look, everyday pick up The New York Times Everyday they're slamming, slamming, slamming him BUTTSLAM! I'm a great fan of CNN and watch it quite faithfully Every day CNN is slamming him, slamming him, slamming him Woah! You got butt-slammed! The slamming meme. I have one last thing for this little segment, at the end of the speech of course they had to have this counter-speech That was hilarious! So they got this guy Steve Beshear who is not even in politics anymore he's just retired and they have him sitting in what looks like a movie set but it's a diner of some sort with everybody motionless It's like The Mannequin Challenge

58:07 And so he starts off right away, first with a huge flub that was off the rails as far as I was concerned. What is he reading? And then he gives us his background and soon as he gives the background, I just stopped it. Actually, I did take another couple of tastes. All he does is talk about himself! He never talked about this speech. I don't even know that he heard it but this is pretty... This is what you can see where I stopped I'm Steve Beshear. I was governor of Kentucky from 2007 to 2015, now i am a private citizen. I am here in Lexington, Kentucky some 400 miles from Washington at a diner with some neighbors Democrats and Republicans where we just watched the President's address.

58:58 But first and foremost, I'm a proud Republican. And Democrat and mostly American. Republican and Democrat. What do you think that was written that way or did he? No, I have no idea how he got to Republican for one. And I had to go look him up to make sure that it wasn't at one point a Republican. No, it wasn't. He's a Democrat. So he was never a Republican. But how is he a proud Republican, Democrat, Republican, Republican, Democrat? And so I don't know where he why that popped into his brain or why he said it

59:35 And the subprompter wasn't moving or jerked around. I mean, it could flash maybe? I don't know. Let me hear it again. I'm a proud Republican and Democrat and mostly American. And like many of you... Roll back a little more here we go. Democrats and Republicans where we just watched the president's address. I'm a proud Democrat but first and foremost I'm a proud Republican and Democrat and mostly American It is analogous for the Democrat Party. To me, I was just like a jaw dropper. It's like what are you saying? More importantly than my being a Democrat is that I'm a proud Republican! And a Democrat and American. What?! Oh man...

1:00:29 Anyway, he continues and you can see like it's not much left because I couldn't take it after he said the last this last words in his little clip was like I'm now listening to this guy. Yeah, okay? I'm a proud Republican and Democrat And mostly American and like many of you I am worried about the future of this nation Look look I got up in Kentucky in a small town called Dawson Springs my dad and granddad were Baptist preachers My family owned a funeral home And we're done. I am done!

Maybe you got some dead people hanging around the house go over there say hey You know what I gotta propagate the formula! Our formula is this- We go out, we hit people in the mouth. I did want to share this article with you from The Guardian again from

1:11:29 Truly a different dimension. They have a thesis on how internet porn caused the rise of Donald Trump Oh, wow! That's a thesis that's one for the books Yeah and it is very long thesis but the idea is Internet porn makes us more gullible because when you're watching porn The woman didn't actually want to pay for pizza with sex instead of money So but we because porn brings us these stories which is by the way probably the oldest porn Storyline in the in the world you couldn't come up with a better one than that The pizza the pizza guy the pizza delivery guys. Yeah, I don't have any money okay Internet porn gives us a skewed view of the world

1:12:19 You gotta read it. Yeah, well send me a link or put in the show notes. Do both actually. It's just insane the things that people are coming up with. That sounds pretty far out there. Well everyone is looking for... nobody just wants to step back and say hey! The same thing with Parliament And I've said it in a couple of tweets where i say the labor party doesn't care about labor. You step back and say hey there's a bunch of people here that used to work for a living and now we won't even give them welfare, and they're not voting for us? I don't understand it! Why are they voting for this crazy Trump?! I don't understand

1:13:03 I do have some MP question time if you wanna hear. I always love that and I would love to do some Euroland news because I think...I do have a couple of clips. Oh good, this will transition us right into your...because I have some Euroland news too but... Alright. So we have a couple of interesting questions that came up. We haven't done this for awhile because they've never been good but first of all let's get it straight about this was a guy from Ireland Northern Ireland, who is from Belpheg area and he's in some crazy party. He's not a Labourer, he's not Conservative, it's the Democrat something-something party and he asked a very humorous question on Article 50 And I guess some of the, there's a lot of inside jokes here about the fact that Tony Blair and some...I think another PM been going around saying Brexit was a bad idea. And this whole thing is a soft coup and so this guy kind of brings in question to

1:13:55 to Theresa May, who's actually laughing heartily during the whole thing. Mr Speaker, the Prime Minister I'm sure cannot fail to have noticed the intervention by two former prime ministers recently in relation to the Brexit debate and as a result very helpful they were i'm sure. I am sure the prime minister will know of course what they and everybody else means by hard Brexit, what is meant by soft Brexit but we're all now wondering what is meant by a soft coup and when indeed it might be triggered and when will know if its been triggered or not.

1:14:41 Perhaps the Prime Minister can elucidate on that as well since she's been so helpful in other, so many other ways. Will she take the opportunity today however to make it clear that whatever former prime ministers may say or whatever members of the unelected upper house may say The reality is that her plan to trigger article 50 by the end of March is now clearly on track I thank the right honourable gentleman for the question that he's asked. It is indeed my plan to trigger by the end of March and when i refer to that, I refer of course to triggering of article 50 rather than attempting to trigger any coup soft or otherwise

1:15:21 It is still our intention to do that. I think it is important, the Article 50 bill of course does respond to the judgment of the Supreme Court but it also ensures that we are responding to the voice of the United Kingdom when people voted to ensure that we do leave the European Union and that's what we will do. Now I think you have the same clip um...of the vote that took place regarding EU nationals who were already Let's see where it is now. Dammit, who are already in the UK and this was a... I don't have a clip about that. Oh i do here it is so they voted the House of Lords

1:16:03 kind of defied the Brexit bill by saying, well the three million EU citizens who are here already will get to stay after. This is a big point of contention and so they basically are forcing Theresa May's hand on this. British ministers are expected to try to overturn an embarrassing defeat in the House of Lords on the government's Brexit bill when the legislation returns to the House of Commons Peers in the upper chamber defied Prime Minister Theresa May in favour of an opposition amendment guaranteeing the rights of EU nationals living in the UK after Brexit. The government said that defeat was disappointing but made clear they are determined to reverse it in the lower chamber.

1:16:49 These people need to know now, not in two years time or even 12 months time. They simply can't put their lives on hold I now want to say to the government you can't do negotiations with People's Futures they're too precious to be used as bargaining chips Mrs May has previously argued that governments will take decisions on EU immigration There will still be people coming to the United Kingdom from the European Union when we leave the EU. The crucial issue is that it is this government that will be making decisions about our immigration system for people from the European Union

1:17:31 There is a growing consensus that this issue must be resolved before Article 50 is triggered and the Prime Minister is becoming increasingly isolated. Hmm, trickery all kinds of trickery going on Well she's not becoming isolated by any means and this is just the House of Lords This is just they're talking about the 3,000 or so people that are their servants I'm telling you. The unelected House of Lords, oh we can't have that! We need my Polish nanny... You've got these people here and they're well trained they know the building they know where the offices are in my giant house. Yes yes yes, we can't have that, we totally agree with you man. The right honorable Mr. Dvorak So they uh there were-the only other one i had was something that i thought was kind of funny it was a little light but it was about an important point which is to get

1:18:21 get microbeads out of the environment. And I don't know if you know what that means, but... No, what's a microbead? Well, microbeads—I remember the first time I encountered microbeads and this is silly but it was a handwashing solution made by oil of old ladies And it was it was a my and you could use it against when I was at Tech TV They'd use its ton of makeup on me make me presentable, and you have to wash this crap That's a bit of a microaggression by the way ageist Microaggression yeah, and so they against myself? And so then you used this stuff would great because it would these little micro beads in it just rip everything off your face It wasn't did a very good job with cleaning But didn't he realize that this stuff goes into the environment. So we end up with With this little speech here by this

1:19:09 female, I think she's on the Conservative Party making sure that the government there is doing something about these. By the way when i was using these things 12 years ago and it must be tonnage of them these beads in the environment. Thank you Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker perhaps do like many other honourable friends and members here today took a shower this morning? Questionable. They are after all British. Do you remember when that used to be the general theme? Certainly in Europe, I'm sorry for interrupting. No When i was growing up in Amsterdam so now we're talking early 70s The British were always seen as thin smelly and bad teeth

1:19:56 Right. And actually, here was the same thing you'd think of the Brits as bad teeth smelly never took a shower and the French were also accused of... Also being smelly Smelly, never took a shower and had armpit hair That's right Yeah that was their stereotype Yeah and now of course we know that British is, you know, the stereotype is Adele Right, hello? Anyway... Trust of this fascinating question. Order! Mrs Powell, let's hear it. Products containing... shower gel products containing them can result in a hundred thousand microbeads or plastics being washed down the drain every time we use them into the water system and then

1:20:53 into the marine environment, damaging these precious habitats. Would the Prime Minister join with me in welcoming the steps that this government is taking to introduce a ban on microbeads use in cosmetics and personal care products? With the consultation ending just a few days ago... Thank you Mr Speaker and I think I think i should say for clarity to members of this house that I'm not in a position to know whether or not you took a shower. She's pretty funny, I like her she doesn't let anyone eat the cheese off of her bread

1:21:41 But in responding, my Honourable Friend has raised a very important point and it is completely unnecessary to add plastics to products like face washes and body scrub where harmless alternatives can be used. As she referred to at the end of her question our consultation microbeads in cosmetics and personal care products closed recently. We're aiming to change legislation by October 2017, and we also ask for evidence of what more can be done in future to prevent other sources of plastic from entering the marine environment because we are committed to being the first generation ever to leave the environment in a better state than it was inherited I'm sure that together we can all work to bring an end to these harmful plastics clogging up our oceans

1:22:29 Yes, you know she said in the future of course. She did In future when I'm with wearing headscarf and I'm in country Dropping these eyes yeah now. I think you have this clip But I'll play it or at least this this report. I think this is from Euro news about Marie Le Pen And the European Union has, you know... They're so anti-free speech in the European Union. I've taken away her parliamentary immunity for a couple of tweets she has sent out. Marine Le Pen has lost her... Stop! Just as background this word Don Reed's these tweets are not new. No no they're two years old. Two years old yeah This is the same thing they did with Geert Wilders

1:23:17 Oh, we're going to take you to court. We're suing you for riling people up against Muslims." Right? They've taken her to court before and she won the case but yes play. And I said Marine but I mean Marie Le Pen. Marine Le Pen has lost her EU parliamentary immunity European Union lawmakers have lifted the exemption which shielded the French presidential candidate from prosecution The leader of France's far-right Front National is under investigation in France for posting three graphic images of Islamic State executions on Twitter in December 2015. They included the beheading of American journalist James Foley. The vote passed... Which by the way is bullshit because there was no actual video of the beheading

1:24:00 You saw him with a knife and then it faded to black. And then you remember that? And then you saw some kind of jacked up thing, so she could not have tweeted something... That actual event was not on video. But thats kinda beside the point. I understand. They included the beheading of American journalist James Foley The vote passed on Thursday by a large show of hands in the plenary of the EU Parliament confirming a preliminary decision taken on Tuesday by the Legal Affairs Committee of the EU Legislature Marine Le Pen now faces possible legal action against her. The offense being considered is publishing violent images that can carry a penalty of three years in prison and the fine of 75,000 euros How does that work?

1:24:46 Are these EU laws or are they French laws? I think they're EU laws. Maybe they're French laws, but they're dumb! No it's not just dumb as it goes against basic human rights I would say It's very strange...I mean my report is no much different mine came from RT so that you have a little more of the needle in there because their take on it We want to listen too Yeah, might as well.

1:25:34 Isn't the whole point that you have immunities, you can do things like this which would be edgy? And then... You can't change the immunity ex post facto. I mean that's our constitution. That lets ya... Oh what did the guy do? He kicked a can down the road! Let's make a law against that and then charge him with kicking the can down the road last week. You can't do that, that's illegal! Well you can in the EUs... She tweets it. By the way, that means in the EU they could do all kinds of things and I want to back this just did now it's does not fair It's not fair man. It's not fair, man! ...state executions back in 2015 Well back then a French journalist compared Le Pen's ideas to that of Islamic States and in response the pen posted three graphic images of ISIL killings with the caption this is ISIL but only now has her tweet caused uproar with EU officials. Well RT got comment from the Secretary General for an EU organization for which Le Pen is the co-president

1:26:35 It's the poor way of EU globalists and an easy hypocritical excuse to target Marine Le Pen. It is the same manoeuvre used against Brexit and Trump, the people are not blind anymore we are confident she'd win any potential trial in this case if that ever happens Well, a second round of voting on Le Pen's immunity could take place this week. For her privilege to be revoked the VAT vote requires unanimous decision by EU lawmakers This isn't the first time the French National Front leader has been caught up in an immunity scandal either Back in 2013 she compared Muslims praying outside a building to a Nazi occupation but in December 2015 those charges were dropped under the Free Speech Act My colleague Ina N'Neil

1:27:19 It goes on with more... I just want to stay in France for one moment. We have another contender, François Firon. But before you go to that, I just want to say it. I think the French public which keeps very well informed has got to see this and this is like a promotion for her. Totally! Totally! They're asking for trouble there they're turning they're gonna make her win. Yeah yeah then i think the same might happen in The Netherlands with Geert Wilders. I gotta find out when their voting that must be coming up pretty soon Here's one of the contenders, François Fillon. He has had a lot of problems and this is not good because the elites certainly don't want Le Pen to win so I guess they had some hope on this guy but it isn't looking good for him. François Fillon has suffered yet more blows in his bid to become president of France with an ever deepening financial scandal looming over him he lost support from a centrist party and key member of his campaign team Bruno Le Maire who resigned

1:28:18 Fillon delayed a visit to the Paris agricultural fair which fuelled speculation he was on the brink of quitting. But speaking earlier, he was defiant. It is indeed a political assassination but through this disproportionate attack without a known precedent through the choice of this state it's not only me they're assassinating it's the presidential election. Fillon has lost the backing of the UDI party who suspended support for him after it was announced the Republican was to be put under formal investigation over the scandal now known as Penelope Gate. Rivals Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen have both visited the agricultural fair in recent days on the campaign trail. Opinion polls currently have Fillon behind far-right candidate Le Pen and centrist Macron, who's consolidating his status as favourite to win a second round head-to-head against the National Front leader

1:29:12 Despite slipping down the polls, Fillon's still the only candidate who secured the 500 signatures needed from local mayors to run for president. Socialist candidate Benoit Hamon lies fourth in the polls. I think Le Pen has a real shot at this! April 23rd is the French election. March 15th will be the Dutch election, we'll be following that obviously. That's coming up And while were on this topic of no nations, no borders globalist new world order I had this clip for a couple weeks now and finally time to play it Farage explains what motivates globalists So the nation state is such an obvious arrangement It was organic people created them because they wanted them I guess the obvious question is why

1:29:53 did so many people in power spend so much time trying to obliterate them? What was their motive? Well, one of the motives was that France and Germany every 25 years kept fighting each other. Exactly So they kind of wondered how do we stop the Germans from crossing the Rhine and try to smash the French And they thought if they merged the two countries that might be a way to do it but Just as with communism, the big idea that came before this. The road to hell can be paved with good intentions. The mistake they made was this provided nation states are democratic they will not fight and they will not go to war with each other and if you try and give people a false identity, a false flag, a false god if you like then they will rebel and turn against it I think what the European Union was kind of a prototype

1:30:43 for a bigger form of global government and had Hillary Clinton won you would have become part of it so thank goodness that Trump has stopped the rot. And oh how they laughed at me when I said this was the plan years ago Who's they? You What?! I would bring up the Trilateral Commission and, uh...you know The New World Order Yeah, you would chuckle! I've always been against the EU's formation and its development Right, but you know and I've always been against one world government. Okay good? I want to say no way and I wasn't laughing at you over that okay And who's they I'm only a single person so they had to be other day everyone Everyone who called me a conspiracy against me they hate me. I'm not paranoid in the morning to James Thompson For Lent he is going to completely eliminate all new sources and only rely on The best podcast in universe

1:31:42 A lot of people are giving up Facebook for Lent. That's an interesting trend. Yeah, that is a smart move! It's very interesting trend because I think what happens if you go away for 40 days... it's 40 days, Lent If you go away for forty days when you come back i think the algorithm just will eliminate you. They'll never see you again You'll never exist Seriously someone doesn't post for forty days? I think its gonna affect the algos. Yeah good So I'm going through your... Good. Yes, good! You know one of the things that just a little off topic? I use Yelp occasionally for certain kinds of things but you have to kind of read between the lines with Yelp Yeah i'm not a big fan myself

1:32:30 Yeah, I use it. I've used it since it started and I use it but I have to be careful because there are people like my favorite example is that French Laundry there's great one of the greatest restaurants in the world It's up in wine country right? Yes up there in the Yonville area. I've been once The one woman gave one star It's getting five stars, five stars. She gave it... yeah! But they have Michelin Stars don't they? Yeah they got three. Very rare she gave it one star on Yelp which is the lowest ranking you can get because it didn't have enough vegan dishes

1:33:08 So I'm reading along, and so...and I'm always kind of fascinated by the other dimension in the way they think and the way they operate. And all this is kinda new sociology of the millennials. And I ran into this one-star review for The Berkeley Bowl West which is what...this Berkeley Bowl it's turned into one of the greatest grocery stores I think I've ever been to anywhere on the universe. And the Berkeley Bowl, and there's two of them. They're both in Berkeley. It stemmed from a bowling alley that they turned into a food stall and then it grew and became a full-blown store with the meat department and everything. It would kill Whole Foods head to head under any circumstances.

1:33:54 So here's a woman that gave it one star and I'm like, what the hell? So I'm looking at this. I work nearby she writes. I went to the Berkeley Bowl on an afternoon break and this to me is an example of the millennials that we're gonna have to deal with for the rest of our lives. I went to Berkeley Bowl. When I needed a long walk, and having a very bad day at work and I thought maybe I would treat... Bad day at work doesn't help. Thought maybe I would treat myself to something sweet. My go-to food vice for de-stressing is ice cream so I went to the frozen foods aisle. At the time Berkeley Bowl had these really expensive ice cream treats by a brand called Cool House which resembles a gourmet It's It.

1:34:31 They were an elaborate cookie with exotic ice cream flavors at $5.00, they were way too expensive I admired the cookie sandwich in the freezer." She goes on about these things she says,"I'm gonna treat myself... ...I confess that was quite embarrassed about buying a five dollar dessert it felt silly and excessive i didn't really make that much at my job..." "...I work retail but this was some special occasion..." I was stressed and thought that i would do something frivolous and nice for myself. When I was in the checkout line, I started feeling more guilty about buying the $5 ice cream sandwich but figured the cashiers were professionals and probably saw people buying excessive and silly food all of time And you know what happened? I got to front of the line and two workers as they ran rang me up started mocking my purchase to each other such that I could hear them

1:35:17 Quote, why the hell is this worth $5? The guy asked. I don't know what is it but even is that the cashier as they snickered at it. The one time I, the one fear I had came true. I actually cried about it later All i wanted was to treat myself after a stressful day without fear of reproach or being judged and the employees made fun of me! I felt so bad it triggered a bout of sobbing on the way home When I pass by Berkeley Bowl always think of this moment...I do not shop there anymore Maxine Oh man

1:35:59 Where did this alternate universe story come from? Came from the alternate universe. And someone sent me an article, you'll recall that we had the report on Sunday that CERN said there's no way you're not in an alternate universe our machine didn't do anything it's crazy to think that way. A little defensive are we! Especially when you look at the article in UK newspaper, this is August 15th 2015. Scientists conducting a mind-bending experiment at the Large Hadron Collider hope to connect with a parallel universe outside of our own! And there's a whole story about how they thought it was possible that gravity may leak between the parallel universes... So they're all in on parallel universes which is what they have to be That's what they're doing But yet, nah don't worry about it Nothing nothing to see here just move along

1:37:00 Hmm, I'd like to I'd like someone to really show me if it's possible what's going on. No with something's going on There's no doubt about that Yeah people are listening to the exact same information and take and have complete different takeaways from it yeah That's just totally fascinating It really is so Ivanka is making a head to head ways of talking about overseas news Headways in China hmm this not being reported by anyone What is she doing? Well, this is a report from the if you watch Chinese news you'll get to hear about it. She's just being nice I guess? This is Ivanka in China this was on RT. Dozens of Chinese businesses have been naming their products after Ivanka and some turbulence in the relationship with Washington

1:37:45 RT's Emily Su looks at what role Ivanka Trump could play in China. While fashion giants in the US are busy pulling Ivanka Trump's products off their shelves to avoid losing their anti-Trump customers, dozens of companies in China are rushing to cash on the first daughter's name from wallpaper to alcohol retailers five companies want to use Ivanka as a trademark for their products hashtag Ivanka Trump happy shopping Twitter Weibo has an Ivanka the Goddess fan club with 11,000 followers. American companies are simply missing the point and one of the reasons why Chinese people love Ivanka is this she made a surprise visit to the Chinese Embassy for Lunar New Year Experts say Ivanka has the potential to become Trump's unofficial

1:38:35 official ambassador to Beijing. Ivanka Trump did play a role of like softening, smoothing out the controversies created by Donald Trump in terms of the relationship between the US and China I think she can't play that role you know to narrow the gap let's say of understanding or bring the two countries together And let's just say Ivanka already found her diplomatic successor It's Trumps daughter singing some song with a granddaughter. Granddaughter I presume? Granddaughter, yeah

1:39:23 Is it the granddaughter? Oh, Ivanka's daughter. I got her. Sorry you said Trump. No, Ivanka's granddaughter with a singing something...I don't know if it was Chinese and couldn't tell but she had a marionette of a Chinese dragon bouncing around and she was playing with it. It was very funny so yeah this woman is a fantastic asset to the administration. She is! I have ISO of her daughter. Okay, maybe not. Always good for a cheap laugh! You know this photograph of the historically black college... Were they provosts or principals? Yeah, the administrators. Administrators yes with Kellyanne Conway sitting on the couch now This warrants some discussion and first of all If you never said that by the way it wouldn't have gotten discussed but I can discuss it

1:40:27 Well, so there's two sides to this. One is why did they release this as an official photo? And two the extremes that people are going to making up memes about this you know like it's a big bukkake porn movie and today photoshop her in between all those guys sitting on their knees just because a woman sits that way and all of a sudden that's a real problem and it's completely sexualized Very in a room full of black men, of course. You found it disturbing? No I just found it disturbing that anyone got upset about it. When I saw the picture I thought well there she is making herself comfortable and didn't think much about it. It looks like she's sitting there and working doing her thing...it didn't bother me at all but then the alternate universe kicked in. Whoa! She was disrespectful what's she doing? DL Hughley

1:41:22 Is he still on SNL? Was he ever on SNL? I don't think he's ever been on SNL. I think maybe as a guest or guest host. What is his main gig? He does some movies. Well, he does a morning radio show. He's even back announcing a song which is interesting. I do not know what radio station it is. Just listen to his takeaway from this photo. That was Tupac, I aint mad at you so I uh I was, you know getting up early going over social media like always do preparing for the show and writing material for the gig. And I see a picture of all these bright shining faces at SBCU, the presence of HBCU's with Donald Trump. I also see Kellyanne Conway with her shoes off folded on the couch. I'll just say optically when somebody important walks into a room or if you got your shoes off and you fold them on the couch You have little regard for them...at all!

1:42:14 You don't get up when the help comes in. So you have little regard for them at all, and all these HBCU presidents that have gone to talk to Donald Trump I'll say this Donald Trump didn't care about the students that went to his university What the hell makes you think he's gonna care about the ones who go to yours? Let me tell you something, I read an amazing article that was in The Root that you know Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any president in history but what he does overwhelmingly well is white people. White people love what he's doing those pictures that he takes with black people aren't for black people They're for white people. They're to normalize them, they go oh well see look it's not so bad what Donald Trump has been successful in doing he only talks to the news outlets that make him that are favorable them and he only talks to the black people who thinks that he can get some out of you are a brochure That's what you were doing you were a brochure much like those brochures you use to recruit students? That's the brochure

1:43:12 Your brochure, okay. That makes nothing but sense. These black colleges need a lot of help and it was recognized I don't see why that guy would try to submarine the whole thing. Guys... But this is the alternate universe and the ultimate example of fake news! Nothing like a new jingle Yeah Well, anyway so she... I thought there's a couple of possibilities. One that couch and how old that thing is but it's a possibility. Besides maybe is very comfortable and you just want to sit on like that but I've been in on the couch similar to that and if you don't sit on your legs and can do with shoes on so you have to put them off. You can lean back far enough? If you sit in... There are some couches will give you a backache

1:44:13 if you don't sit like that. Yeah, I mean, I've run into those couches. I've owned one and it's a possibility. I mean, I just couldn't get that worked up about it but everyone got all bent out of shape like this. You know there's rule followers and there's rules that I don't know about. It's not our protocol is not our tradition to sit that way now can't have that so tiring. I see no letting up either. I see just I don't see it letting up. continues. Well, your buddy's in the news. Oh it is just a gratuitous couple of clips because of you doing this as a favor to you because Tulsi Gabbard... Oh yes yeah the future president of United States could be she goes on that except she's associating herself a little bit too much with RT cuz they're the only ones that'll pick up what he has to say our mainstream media doesn't care

1:45:14 And before, well after this there's one real interesting story that the mainstream media is completely ignoring. But let's listen to Tulsi give her bitchin' and moaning about Syria. Meanwhile US... Oh it just said... Gabert won. Representative Tulsi Gabbard has called on the White House to curb its support for Syrian rebel groups she was joined by colleagues and anti-war activists on Capitol Hill For years, the U.S. government has been supporting armed militant groups who are working directly with and oftentimes under the command of terrorist groups like al-Qaeda in their fight to overthrow the Syrian government. The fact that our resources are being used to strengthen the very terrorist groups that we should be focused on defeating should alarm every member of Congress and every American. This madness must end."

1:46:08 And where was this speech given? This was after some legislation, I think she's promoting. It looked to me there outside Washington... no outside the Capitol building and you know nobody wants to talk to her except RT because she's not playing ball. No, she's not. She's in the second part. You're gonna get kicked out of something pretty soon Well, she's on the armed services I think. Which is a good committee to be with McCain? Yeah, I think he's the head of it. So she's moaning and groaning here's part two Why is it such a difficult position to take that we should stop arming extremist groups overseas It's really not a difficult position nor should it be. I think every American would be

1:46:57 I'm surprised to know that for years our government has been providing both direct and indirect support to these armed militant groups who are working directly with or even under the command of terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS, all in their effort and fight to overthrow the Syrian government. Our bill does a simple thing, and it says that our taxpayer dollars should not be used to provide arms money intelligence or other types of support to militant groups who are working with allied with terrorist groups like al-qaeda and isis nor should we be funneling taxpayer dollars through countries like Saudi Arabia

1:47:38 Turkey, Qatar and others who are providing this direct and indirect support to terrorist groups. What do you make of Trump's proposal to defeat ISIS? Is it possible to do this without further U.S. troop commitment or further U.S. military involvement in a country like Syria? Again I call on the Trump administration to end this counterproductive regime change war in Syria end this crazy policy that we have been conducting and providing this support to militant groups that actually are working with Al Qaeda, therefore strengthening terrorist groups like Al Qaeda to overthrow this government. Speaking truth to power! Yeah get her nowhere No I don't think so sadly no So Buskett... I was gonna say what has been handled in chambers in the house was blockage of a resolution entered by

1:48:35 Pasquerel from New Jersey. Under I think the laws from 1924 the Ways and Means Committee is empowered to examine tax returns This is again, you know We have to see Donald Trump's tax return because that will of course hold the key to his secret connection to Russia Which is yeah. It was ludicrous anyone who thinks that's in a tax return so 229 Republicans Voted against that and so that's not going to be continued to not be necessary. It's not a requirement anyway But I think they're also doing it on their own behalf. They don't want anyone getting their tax returns either well the one story Just to jump ahead of the me of the media not covering Tulsi The story that's going around that is you can find it on on the net and

1:49:27 But you won't find it at CBS, NBC, ABC CNN or any place else. But I think it will have to be told before and they're working on how to downplay it, I'm sure. Pablo Escobar's son has come out and said that Pablo Escobar the great drug dealer was working for the CIA from the get-go. Really? Yeah, and he's got a book coming out and he's gonna have to hit the book circuits And they're not going to be able to ignore him fantastic give a clip on this or not. I there's no clip It is great Not covered by anyone you have to type in you have to go to your Google and it's story just broken You know a couple days ago Like the 23rd

1:50:13 You have to go type in, let's see what do I type in on this one. Are you using Bing? Pablo Escobar's son CIA and you'll get all these stories here is one on some the Falling Darkness website Pablo Escobar son reveals his dad worked for the CIA selling cocaine media silent Mr headline and it goes on about in a new book Pablo Escobar in Infragrante should be flagrante I think He lives under pseudonym Juan Sebastian Marican, explains his father worked for the CIA selling cocaine to finance the fight against communism in Central America. Right, which is where I ran contra.

1:50:52 We already knew this, but now it turns out that there are just more confirmation about the CIA's involvement to such an extreme that is embarrassing. And no, no, no... No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Do not cover this. Adam Chapnick Well would you really expect CBS to report on that? John Maass CBS will be the last one but they're gonna have to as this story keeps going on and people keep pointing. Adam Chapnick I'll put a link to this in the show notes. A couple of people in the chat room already finding stuff. This is very interesting. Yeah, it's very interesting and totally ignored. But according to Rosie O'Donnell you know the internet rules and The media is is everywhere so they can't stop it I think in this regard at some at some level they can't Well no of course they can but it won't matter It wont matter No it doesn't really matter There'll just be a bunch of crackpots saying this stuff speaking of books

1:51:48 I do have a couple questions about this one. I want to know what you think about the book deal for Michelle and Barack Obama? 65 million dollars one book from not sure who this guy is but he had a funny commentary on the book deal each and you say Well, I like to Obama's previous book because it was one of the great works of fiction You know with his composite girlfriend and his imaginary racist white friend, you know any wrote I remember he wrote about his grandfather in Indonesia who supposedly died in the colonial struggle against the Dutch but actually died falling off a chair while changing the drapes. So if he manages to come up with as spectacular a work of fiction, as that last one this will be out there in Harry Potter

1:52:37 country. I'm hoping he will have like a composite jihadist he releases from Gitmo to go off and kill people around the world or maybe an imaginary ISIS commander that he drones in his sleep, but i think this could be as I said right up there with JK Rowling is one of the great works of fiction Now, stepping from the straddle into the other universe if the shoe were on the other foot I believe it would be easy to say whoa maybe this is a payoff who is paying for these books and is this a normal amount of money? John C. Dvorak, The Honorable Publishing. Well from my experience that's very abnormal but there's not...it's always presupposed that because this book deal came out of an auction

1:53:24 And the auction market isn't what it once was, but the auction used to be you'd have a book proposal and you'd have an agent. Agents always do these auctions. The agent would call number of publishers that might be interested because it's gonna be in auction they would inform their publishing companies that we're gonna do an auction for the book on then they have a date and time and there'll be a huge conference call And with all these different people from the area, Penguin here. Penguin. Yeah, Penguin at random as I'm over. Come on. Good. So everyone checks in and then they say we'd like to start the opening bid for the book at ten million dollars and

1:54:05 maybe some silence and maybe one guy jumps in and says, okay I'm in for 10. Okay we got 10 over here well you know whatever... And then I don't know how long this auction took place how long it was maybe was an hour maybe was ten minutes I'm not sure but the idea on the agent's part is that if you can get a bidding war You can get these things jacked up way up out of control. They're never gonna get $65 million from sales, that I can assure you." And then... No, I wouldn't think so. Do you know who did the deal? Who the publisher is? I think it was Penguin, I think is the one with the book. Who owns Penguin? Oh, that's probably Bertal. Well, you keep talking and I'll look it up.

1:54:52 Yeah, anyway so they got the book and I think they got stuck in you know there's a lot of people at auctions do make it the mistake if we get into a bidding war for something they really want and apparently they really wanted it. It's rare nowadays and I mean I'm not saying it's not within the realm of possibility that was a buyout or payoff for something because that makes sense at these numbers but could have just been reality of the odd situation. Well, it looks to me this is owned by Pearson who of course also do all the educational stuff don't they?

1:55:33 Pearson is a conglomerate. They have...they buy publishers and yes, they do the educational stuff that we bitch about the Common Core stuff. Which Obama was a big proponent of. I'm just looking for a payoff if there's anything there. Well that's...yeah but Obama being a big proponent didn't really pay the bills it seems to me. Didn't do much It's a possibility. It is a big possibility and Pearson would be...it seems like it some, seems here I'll give you a corruption strategy as far as I'm concerned. Let me just give you one other piece of data half of it or part of it is owned by so this Penguin Random House owned by Pearson and Bertelsmann which is the German media conglomerate they own actually they own 53% So they are on the majority Yeah, big operation

1:56:19 So here's Pearson, this is one of these stories. The Warwick story. I love that. Pearson bought all the computer book publishing companies. All of them! It bought the Simon & Schuster stuff... Can't even think half of their names anymore. Did they buy the ones... O'Reilly? No, O'Reilly is the only independent left He's the only one, they bought Peach Pit. They bought everybody! They bought one after another. They bought Q and Q came out of...Q was an interesting operation because that was the only hire for writing operations. They didn't pay royalties. They would hire you to do a manuscript and then you get a flat fee and your done. It wasn't usually that much like 10 grand or something for a whole book is ridiculous

1:57:10 So here's what they do. I had a book, and it was from one of the publishing companies...I don't know if I did this deal. I'm sure it was MS-DOS Telecommunications. Yeah that wasn't it. Anyway so anyway I did this book and then started to learn the process. I didn't have a bestseller at this time but here is what Pearson liked to do. They bring you in with one publishing houses, any number. Let's say Peach Pit or anybody it could have been at any house your book is a hit and so now all of the sudden it is selling and they're having to pay you royalties

1:57:51 immediately Q clones your book. They hire somebody to write the same book, which is easy enough to do, you know DOS tips or whatever and you already have a hit. You have a hit and then they haven't. You have a hit that is approaching me it's going to be ahead if it keeps going on they give you some marketing money you got you're gonna make a lot of money but instead of doing that they put all their efforts through the Q book on the same topic yeah now imagine they own about 30 small computer book publishers, where there used to be competition between all these different publishers that are all in the same group and everything ends up getting funneled to Q because there's no royalty. So if the book becomes hugely successful... They keep all their money? They make all of it money and then the writer has paid his fee and he is done. And so that's what they do. The whole computer book business and the model for it was completely decimated by this guys. Sounds very much like a music business actually with

1:58:49 projects and who's important for the label, etc. Very analogous to that." Well it's a lot of money that's for sure seems like as you said they can't make it back ever. No I'm still looking I think your thesis might be correct. It might be just a payoff. Isn't that how you do those things? And now what Hillary Clinton did with all of her speeches, I mean... Yeah. ...that to me is all payoffs. All payoffs totally. Little bribes. Just little teeny-weeny bribes. You imagine that $30 million, 65 million dollars. There's a big one but we always do it after the fact. This is the way modern politics would do this. Of course. You're always reward when you're done. When you're done.

1:59:31 It's like the mob, it's handshake deals based on trust. Otherwise you might wake up with a hot tub closed on you or something. Exactly. Yeah. I said one more thing... Oh yes about the Obamas. I just learned today Valerie Jarrett is going to be moving into their new home in DC. How would that for creepy? That's kind of creepy as always. The mother-in-law will be living there too. No doubt. Well Jarrett was living at the White House! See, we'd have meals with the Obamas and you know the word is that they're setting up a whole war room and they know this uh they're going to be command central for bringing down the man. Yeah this for OFA? Yes exactly yeah we'll have to see about that I was so disappointed i don't...I have not watched this show

2:00:29 Maybe you watch some weird TV shows sometimes. What is this called the detour on TBS? Oh, yeah the detour Tell me about here's what here's the yes I do watch it I have it on the recorder But I'm gonna stop watching it because it's funny It's got its reminds me a little bit about the original Jack Lemmon Neil Simon play worries and ease out the what does it call the out and start the outsiders as to I don't know, but he's in New York City and you should look this up. Go to Jack Lemmons thing and find it. It's like one word. Anyway he goes to New York and all these bad things happen to him so these guys move out of Podunkville and they moved to New York because one of them has a job and all these bad things start happening to him because the kids are jerks and nobody knows how to act like a New Yorker and they're always making these flubs

2:01:21 The problem with this thing is it's annoying. At some point, it's not like the Jack Lemmon movie which was later done with Steve Martin which wasn't as funny... The player? No no, It's like the outsiders or the travelers... Man he has quite a list of stuff that he has done! This was probably in the 60's 70's I'll go back to the 60's I gotta get the name of that movie anyway, because people should see this movie especially the original Jack Lemmon version because it's hilarious. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels? No... It was like THE something The Notorious Landlady? No it's like one word Well you can keep going Anyway you could look it up- I'll look it up in meantime

2:02:09 So I got, it's like one of these things that... One thing I don't like about any sort of drama or even comedy is when you're, when it makes you kind of cringe a little too much. It's like, eh, I dunno if this would really happen or if it did happen this wouldn't be good but its cringe without the oh this is hilarious! Like I just can't watch it as it turns out to be unwatchable I think the premise is good. The gags are funny Well, no the gags are not funny because they well some of the gags were funny how they pooped all over us man Okay, I'm ready They pooped all over us Oh, what do you do for a living? Oh, i'm uh freelance audio documentarian Awesome like like podcasts and stuff oh please podcasts or verbal narcissism for ugly journalists No, I tell stories through sound His wife makes the money I figured there you go

2:03:02 Yeah, there was I don't have clips where I want to get. I think I still have it the clips The family guy did a little slam yeah Yes, and I feel like don't feel good about that. I can't watch this show now makes me well It's not what is not a watchable show okay another tip from your know agenda show? Imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah And the Jack Lemmon movie was The Out of Towners. Ah, Out Of Towners! The out-of-towners a very funny film and then when it was redone It was not funny which is because they changed the script it wasn't Neil Simon's involvement who was one of the great writers ever Anyway we do have some people to thank for show 908

Good idea right? This is the infamous no agenda list this is a list of stuff we didn't talk about on the show and then We got irked about it and put it on the list so maybe we could talk about it someday Okay you can choose from Snowden's glasses Catholic church candles The NICOR Sigma lens dispute Trump's re-election fundraising

2:09:49 Or the hit list of Trump people. That is our list. Okay, well I'm gonna start with the one at the top which is the glasses Snowden's glasses and now it's background glass background I have a pair of reading glass that I swear are the same exact glasses as snowed in has always our good thinker just I think these are just props I'm not sure but we've always bitched about the fact that he's missing The, I think it's the left nose pad. On these glasses the left nose pad fell off so now i have a pair of glasses, I believe the same brand of glasses without the left nose pad

2:10:33 They're extremely comfortable without the pad. I was waiting for it! Now, and i've been trying to analyze this... So the right one is still on? Yes And its more comfortable or just extremely comfortable It might be more comfortable but im not sure But I know its comfortable, it doesn't bother me that the pad is missing Because when I remember when I lost pads before there would be some piece of metal that would gouge you It turns out that this, these pads the missing pad leaves behind a plastic thingy that is very comfortable. Wow! What is the brand of this? Some cheap... I don't know what brand it is offhand but pretty sure they're the same glasses. Seems like a good endorsement

2:11:19 Well, well yeah. Yeah I'd lose a pad still comfortable but uh...I just wanted to know that I was stunned by how comfortable they were without the missing pad. Well I think that still if you're on television and you only wear the glasses when your on television because we know he wears contacts. We are not the ones who ever noticed this He wears contacts all the time But then he's on television and puts on the old glasses it's just odd look We're the only ones that I've have you ever seen it written up that he's missing a pad No, I don't believe so. The media has not covered the missing pad we are the only show or media outlet of any sort that discusses his missing pad and Thus the report I just gave great detail of Europe great depth of reporting that you will get no place else I would like to play two reports

2:12:17 And the reason why I play them is because these are actual occurrences with victims, with witnesses, with arrests. If you are so interested in Pizzagate which has just gone away dried up and blown away by the wind we have had a significant... Pizzagate got stale! By the boom We have had a significant amount of pedophilia, pedosexual rings rolled up recently. I want to play two quick reports of two of the most recent ones. Take a look at these 12 men all under arrest following a child sex sting called Operation Cupid's Arrow Ben Abbey investigators used chat rooms dating sites social media and even online classified ads

2:12:59 Officials say they want this to serve as a warning to predators that they will find you and arrest you. This type of crime cuts at the very core why it's so important that we keep our children off the internet and at least aware of what they're doing on the internet, and away from these sexual predators. Suspects ranging in age from 21 to 70 years old coming from a variety of backgrounds including a college student to well-respected attorney proving child predators come in many different forms That was in Florida but what happened just this week in United Kingdom is really egregious

2:13:37 A member of a group advising Pope Francis on how to root out sex abuse in the Catholic Church has quit, citing resistance within the Vatican. Marie Collins an Irish woman who is herself a survivor of clerical abuse said that the special commission had suffered constant setbacks despite the pope approving all its recommendations There are still men in the heart of the church In the Curia, in Rome and in the administration of the church who put other considerations before working with and cooperating with the Commission on the Protection of Miners. The panel, known officially as the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors was set up in 2014. Collins' decision to leave could undermine its credibility. At the moment, the commission that is charged with speaking to clergy sexual abuse has no survivors of clergy sexual abuse on it. Several people have said that its hard to imagine the commission having credibility to speak about clergy sexual abuse if there are no survivors present on the commission

2:14:38 The initiative by Pope Francis is an attempt to address the bitter and long-standing scourge of child abuse which has dogged the Catholic Church. The Vatican said Pope Francis had accepted Collins' resignation with deep appreciation for her work. I mean, that's the kind of stuff people should be looking at investigating! I thought that church stuff was all done and we were rid of it. No, no, no." You ever see the movie Spotlight by the way? No i haven't Oh you should! It's a great movie Tell me... It's about this spotlight investigative team at The Boston Globe and when they went after the Catholic priests oh is that so that's reasonably new then that movie The movie was uh I think they won the academy award for best movie two years ago

2:15:20 Huh, or last year. I'm not sure no make sure to watch that oh No it was a it's a killer movie is very well done at pace nicely very modern settings It just Michael Keaton's the the editor Outstanding film always good anyway. I just want to make sure that people hear that all right well Let's do one creepy creepy note more talking about that Uh, Beau Biden's widow, you know Beau Biden died of cancer. Joe Biden son his widow is now has an ongoing affair with his brother with a Beau Biden's brother who was married. Yeah house wrecker well apparently the bidens are okay with it

2:16:13 Here's a quote. Who knows what else is going on? We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness They have mine and Jill's full and complete support, and we're happy for them So is he no longer married but about the husband is he happy to I There's no quote from him about how happy she is Or unhappy hmm alright Okay, let's see I get a little talk about Estonia the bullcrap going on at CBS Square the CBS report to again you know make Trump look bad Make the Russians and make two Russians look bad because the Russians are gonna attack Estonia So when they do this report talking about fake news listen to all the little interesting CBS reportage

2:17:15 commentary as it goes along about, I mean it's just mediocre reporting if not just misleading. I say misleading. What? He's conquest in Ukraine? What conquest in Ukraine did the Russians take over Ukraine that's the story we're never gonna hear differently. We're always going to hear he invaded Ukraine even though no Well, this is like the Georgia story which we debunked years ago. Same thing the media is just not gonna let up with the meme that they create and they're gonna use this meme so let's continue this little report and see how much more bullcrap they deliver. This conquest in Ukraine Elizabeth Palmer is in Estonia

2:18:09 These may look like soldiers. Actually, they're ordinary men and women with day jobs who volunteer in the Estonian Defence League, a kind of citizens' militia. Here they are competing in an annual exercise More than 13,000 of them prepared to rise up if Estonia were attacked. Right now they believe their aggressive neighbor to the east Russia is enemy number one especially after its invasion of Ukraine. Estonia has a professional military too It was on display in this weekend's Independence Day parade. This small country spends big on defense, it is a fully paid up member of NATO and that buys it powerful friends. This year US soldiers deployed to Estonia were part of the parade and for the very first time they brought tanks

2:19:06 Nice tanks. Yeah, that's right a bunch of tanks It looks like something in Red Square in the 50s these tanks going down the road course. Oh yeah Okay We got the invasion of Estonia There's a bit of truth in this at the end because somebody one of the women who takes part in these volunteer stuff Admits it the likelihood of the Russians attacking is zero But she plays the game anyway. American tanks on the streets of Estonia's capital send a powerful signal to the people here that the US will stand by its NATO allies They also send a very clear signal to the Kremlin That signal? A Russian attack on an Estonia backed by NATO would be dangerous Still not alone Marga Sakhna is Estonias defense minister We're sending the message

2:19:55 Russia very clearly that we are able to speak the same language as Mr. Putin does and it's a language that we are ready to fight. And staying ready means constant training here on Saturday near the town of Voru local women in the Defense League were learning to use GPS equipment. For Ruth Madla, its about learning new skills she doesn't really expect the Russians to invade but You're part of this force that sends a message. Yeah, and I think maybe it's good to have the message That message to Russia is loud and clear Estonia is spending record amounts on its military And the defense leagues have never had more volunteers Elizabeth Palmer CBS News Tallinn, Estonia

2:20:49 What is the geopolitical significance of Estonia for Russia? Well, if you look it's just part of the former Soviet Union so I suppose they were promoting the idea that Putin wants to re-establish it. So they're just going to attack Estonia for no apparent reason which is not happening This is just another bogus report sells arms stirs up the public It's pathetic You know what the President Trump should do? Can you imagine what it costs to ship an American tank and then position it in Estonia. What the cost of that is gotta be per tank, its got to be outrageous! Well they've shipped them to the Netherlands too They've been shipping them everywhere Yeah What I think president... What are we going to do with all these tanks? I don't know let's ship em to Europe That's gonna cost a fortune now get em out here so we can get more tanks later What I think President Trump should do Is he should disclose our multiple alien contacts

2:21:42 And make people worried about that. That would really work, you know? Maybe make them a little kind of evil so we still have an enemy Well, they're getting a lot better. Some of these alien documents... I actually was so good one of them was going to clip it about the incident in 1953, I think where this round balls were surrounding this bomber and it was all reported and we made public. And then one day, of course if you listen to these UFO shows They're on the History Channel and All Hitler channel, there's a lot of them on there. AHC, All Hitler channel. They are on there and they have these and their good! Lost UFO File series which is running right now is quite entertaining. A lot of documentation, lots of stuff that they're pulling out of the woodwork. And they debunk stuff on the spot which I like

2:22:41 It's interesting that we don't have a whole slew of conspiratorial voices calling for Trump to disclose this stuff. Yeah, it's kind of the same people who would be big Trump supporters and would probably believe in stuff like that I'm generalizing obviously but I certainly am interested Well the British did it they released all their stuff and not much came of it People look at you know then they dance up on these TV shows I don't know, it's like this Pablo Escobar thing. It's repressed. We do have an event coming which is a special eclipse only viewable from the United States apparently

2:23:27 I have a report. This is from your neck of the woods, KQED that would be your local public television broadcaster. We going to learn anything more this summer with the solar eclipse? Solar eclipse solely for the United States! Well Doug this is very exciting so this August 21 There will be a total eclipse of the Sun visible from one country and one country only which is the United States I'm sure our Trump arranges. Yeah, I'm sure he's gonna take full credit for this They're already calling it the all-american eclipse And here's the interesting part. The total eclipse is visible only over a path about 60 miles across, so you have to be in that 60 mile path to see the total eclipse and it goes from a beach in Oregon to a beach in South Carolina crossing the United States diagonally and not one large city is in that path I love how they bring Trump into it

2:24:27 Oh yeah. He's going to claim it now this is the clip I've been waiting, it was very short but I'm waiting to play this for a while um...I think we talked awhile back about this fantastic website that tracks all of the retractions from peer-reviewed just peer reviewed papers? Yes you have brought this up before and because there is a crisis in the scientific community and particularly with MFRIs and that kind of brain scanning stuff which might explain my ex friend their professor's nutty behavior And the big problem is reproducibility. And this is kind of the big secret in the scientific community, no one really wants to talk about it but people are looking into it. So the idea here is to take the exact same experiments

2:25:14 and to try to do the exact same thing. Dr Tim Errington from the Centre for Open Science at The University of Virginia, and a leading author in The Reproducibility Project – an attempt to repeat the experiments in five landmark studies in cancer biology. To see if we can get the exact same result. And the idea behind that is because replication is a hallmark of science. Despite their best efforts, involving a painstaking attention to detail the team were only able to partially confirm two of the original study's findings Two more proved inconclusive and in the last the researchers failed completely to replicate the result

2:25:55 It's not just an important issue, it is at the heart of the scientific process. A reproducibility rate the Edinburgh neuroscientist Professor Malcolm MacLeod says calls the whole scientific endeavour into question Because without efforts to reproduce the findings of others then we don't know whether these facts that are out there in our journals and in our literature actually represent what's happening biology or not I don't know what's going to happen with this, but of course it is not really a news story. But it's quite outrageous. This is the big deal that's going on throughout the scientific community. Of course no one wants to bring up the climate change thing in this same breath. No! I didn't get any clips although I may get for the next show you probably have some

2:26:43 Tucker Carlson taking what's his name down and not science. I watched it of course, and everybody tweeted it and there was really nothing there that was new to me And I don't think Tucker did such a great job. I think Bill Nye got to him a little bit Maybe just because he said Bill Nye was definitely a snot yeah when he's like Mr.. Carlson mr.. Carlson Yeah, I know I also don't think Carlson took the right approach No, he probably didn't. Yeah it's okay He didn't kick his butt that's for sure But I do know according to a new study here we love talking about moral self-licensing this is something we've discussed and it's real there have been a lot of studies done about moral self licensing and the most modern version of that is changing your avatar on Facebook or on Twitter And um...new study shows that moral outrage

2:25:55 It's not just an important issue, it is at the heart of the scientific process. A reproducibility rate the Edinburgh neuroscientist Professor Malcolm MacLeod says calls the whole scientific endeavour into question Because without efforts to reproduce the findings of others then we don't know whether these facts that are out there in our journals and in our literature actually represent what's happening biology or not I don't know what's going to happen with this, but of course it is not really a news story. But it's quite outrageous. This is the big deal that's going on throughout the scientific community. Of course no one wants to bring up the climate change thing in this same breath. No!

I think Bill Nye got to him a little bit Maybe just because he said Bill Nye was definitely a snot yeah when he's like Mr.. Carlson mr.. Carlson Yeah, I know I also don't think Carlson took the right approach No, he probably didn't. Yeah it's okay He didn't kick his butt that's for sure But I do know according to a new study here we love talking about moral self-licensing this is something we've discussed and it's real there have been a lot of studies done about moral self licensing and the most modern version of that is changing your avatar on Facebook or on Twitter And um...new study shows that moral outrage

2:27:45 which we see a lot of today in certain universes, is actually completely self-serving. Oh, Rosie O'Donnell? Yes! When people publicly rage about perceived injustices that don't affect them personally we tend to assume this expression is rooted in altruism a disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others. But new research suggests that professing such third party concern, so especially for Black Lives Matter etc., what social scientists refer to as moral outrage is often a function of self interest wielded to assuage feelings of personal culpability for societal harms or reinforce one's own status as a very good person."

2:28:28 Well, it fits the bill. And I think it's completely true! Well... It's a reasonable thing to say- Yeah, I think it probably is true too. It just sounds right And we've been seeing nothing but these self, you know...everyone's self-righteous. Yeah Which I think is part of this explanation. There are a lot of them and they're all over Twitter. I have taken to the point now where I'm doing preemptive blocking How does preemptive blocking work?

2:29:11 Uh, I get somebody retweet some from someone. I don't follow and they don't follow me it's just but they're obnoxious and if it gets re-tweeted again something else from the same people and I go look at their feed say oh my god this person is insane! And I'll just block them out of the blue. Yeah what I've been doing is you know someone will start with crap that I don't want to hear puking in my feed I'll block them no I'll say your blocked I'll wait 10 minutes then I'll block em and then I'll go on look at what there tweeting How mad they are, then unblock them. Well that's something psycho about what you're up to. I am totally psycho!

2:30:03 In South Africa, they're appropriating which is what they used to do in a number of other countries, Mugabe's country. Where they just take the... If you're white we're gonna take your property. Right yeah, where they would take it back from the farmers Yeah. from a willing buyer, willing seller approach to more radical alternatives. Most of South Africa's land remains in white hands over two decades after the end of apartheid and President Zuma referred a bill allowing state expropriation of land back to Parliament because lawmakers failed to facilitate adequate public participation

2:31:00 There you go. There's another subject I don't see why people don't see this as racist, but they they don't know of course not it's the Just trying to now we have to redefine the word racism into and language changes all the time racism can only be committed by white people Yeah, privilege. It appears it appears privileged. Apparently not that privileged and they're having their land taken away Here's a clip that I have been sitting on in this about human rights watch And I only kept it going live because I know this is one of the organizations that you detest Yes, yeah as a human rights now or human rights watch Watch okay

2:31:40 play it. The organization's public activities and reports have engaged in politics, in the service of Palestinian propaganda while falsely raising the banner of human rights. Over the years, the organization has frequently accused Israel of rights violations highlighting issues including illegal settlement expansion and exploitation of Palestinian children It also blasted Tel Aviv for using banned weapons as a propaganda outfit that is all that it is

2:32:27 USAID funded just like the White Helmets and at the White Helmets didn't get a couple of those guys didn't get a visa to come to The Oscars. Yeah, I know that was pretty funny right? I'm surprised you didn't bitch about it more. Oh on the show You mean don't let it no Yes The show didn't have this separate the other thing discussing the Oscars again Jimmy Kimmel was really the only one doing Trump material And I thought he was pretty funny I get because it was light. It was light Trump, but there's the kind of stuff he'd do on his show wasn't really annoyingly offensive But I got the biggest kick out of Casey Affleck who we played on last in the last show when he wondered the award?

2:33:08 Screenwriters guild or the no this is a spirit awards the Spirit Awards right he won that and he gave this just He blasted Trump you could see him up there because he won. The Oscar thinking about it Here's going And then he thought better and left the stage with a thank-you how smart man that was smart I have one another kind of a hanging clip hanging clip This is a part of a slam piece that was done on Bannon, but I do what... But Bannon says something. Bannon? That I... Bannon. Bannon. We need a nickname for the guy! Sweaty Steve wasn't it?! No no, Sweaty Sean and... Sweaty Sean or... Why don't we say we can call him Queen Bee or King Bee

2:33:58 Well, whatever the case he says something in this clip that ends with it. That we need to discuss because I don't think anybody except a few of us understand what that actually means. Okay, I found it here we go. This is our Western edition have a look at the great American divide our CBS News poll out today found only 39% of Americans approve of the job that President Trump was doing But look at this, it's 82% of Republicans who say he is doing a good job and the Democrats 6%. Today we heard from the driving philosophical force behind the president Steve Bannon. And here is our White House correspondent Margaret Brennan If you want to see the Trump agenda its very simple

2:34:45 It was all in the speeches. In a rare appearance, President Trump's chief strategist Stephen Bannon cast himself as a revolutionary There is a new political order that that's being formed out of this and it's still being formed but if you look at the wide degree of opinions in this room whether your populace whether your limited government conservative whether you're libertarian whether you're an economic nationalist We have wide and sometimes divergent opinions we are nation with a culture and a reason for being. And I think that's what unites us." He said the goal of the Trump presidency is threefold. The first is kind of national security and sovereignty, second line of work is what I refer to as economic nationalism, the third broadly line of work is what is deconstruction of the administrative state

2:35:32 So deconstruction of the administrative state, which seems like some sort of an intellectual term I don't think is even remotely understood. Like the efficient government story? What it refers to is a problem that's been taking place in what we would term The Technological Society as described by Jacques Alluel and The Technological Society, a book which everyone should read... Oh, I'm writing that one down hold on a second It was an outstanding, he'd be tech as Jack Elul E-L-U-L. He did a lot of theologian and sociologist needed some great material the books you want to read are one called propaganda And the other one is The Technological Society and in this technological society describes a world that is going to be for all practical purposes run and managed by

2:36:25 technocrats, as witnessed by the EU. The EU has these lawmakers that are technocrats and they're in Brussels and they make rules for Great Britain and everybody in between just sitting around the room is a bunch of technocrats there's nobody voting they just drink you know they're just cranking out laws And that's the administrative state that Bannon is talking about. And in specific, we're talking about people like the groups like the EPA. The EPA makes laws...technically speaking only Congress can make laws but they can kind of weasel out of it by giving kind of powers to administrative state to some of these agencies and the agencies then are given free reign to make laws just

2:37:21 By having a meeting, let's make it law and ruling and a law on the law in the law. And this would air pollution district I worked for was the same thing. It was always...I always by the way when I was working at the Air Pollution District, I've always considered the process of kangaroo court And I think that a lot of these things are kangaroo courts and there's no, you know... You can't. It doesn't go through the normal system of justice Well this is the same with it with the FDA and there's tons of other things and we'll see what it gets replaced by or what happens, or... I don't think he has a prayer to replace it. I think it's wishful thinking but I like the fact that he is at least talking about it. No, not replacing the EPA but just getting rid of regulations, just removing... That's what I'm talking about. I am not talking about replacing the EPA. I'm talking about this regulatory administrative state that we're in that are creating laws left and right that are not done by the legislature who is the group that supposed to do laws

2:38:19 And it's just done by bureaucrats that are sitting around and saying, you know we need a law against that. And let's write it up which is...I don't know seems like a problem to me." Right but they can all be undone now? You don't need any congressional votes or anything for that? You can just undo it?" Well I'd like to see as again I think this wishful thinking I don't think anything is gonna get undone these things tend to take on a life of their own Yeah, but undoing it is... I don't know. Technically, I don't believe there's any necessity for any congressional involvement. It's the agency themselves. Well the agency though was given permission by Congress to do this? You can't just be some little potent agency and start breaking out laws. So look at who's running EPA, look at who's running education

2:39:13 These people are clearly meant to go change something drastic. Yes, they're meant to be disruptors. I wish I could get a kick out of people moaning about it. Oh look at that Bessie DeVos is an idiot! Yeah well she's not in there to make things better. And the pushback on specifically that from charter schools and school vouchers why are people so against that? Well, the voucher thing...you know, the voucher thing first cropped up. I remember when I was a student at Cal Berkeley and at that time it was a Democrat of course and I remember when the voucher thing came out Nixon, I believe, was one of the early proponents of it maybe and Nixon was very progressive in lot of ways. He's the one who created the EPA.

2:40:10 And because it came from Nixon, they rejected it immediately out of hand. I believe this is just one of these things like the reason that Nancy Pelosi won't stand up for jobs in the speech. This division between Republicans and Democrats if its a Republican who does something then there's always going to be bad perceived as such forever And I think that's where it got...I think the vouchers got off to a wrong foot. You know, there was propaganda against the idea. I like the idea of vouchers looking back on it. I like it too and I liked the idea but we already have the right you know, to organize your own school. You can do your own school or you could do homeschooling? Yeah. You can take the voucher and run. It seems to me that you're paying into this system that's not working.

2:40:56 If it was working great and we had all these smart kids coming out of these schools, but no. We get a bunch of brainwashed kids that are you know don't know anything It's terrible and then to get when they go into a college They have to get all kinds of like their first year is all retraining so they can just participate Yeah well anyway we can bitch about this forever Anyway Bannon is one thing Banjo Banjo is trying to get this He mentions it, but nobody seems to even be thoughtful about what he said. Because he's a racist! White National Racist KKK! I'm so tired of this bullcrap... Okay give me something to play that makes me happy so we can get out here. Okay let's see what we have

2:41:46 I like it, you can play a little bit. Yeah, I like it and you're laughing whatever it is, I'll take it Well, you won't like it so I'm not going to even mention it Jeff Sessions' attack we will bring that up in later show China's smoking ban is kind of interesting private prisons are back I don't really have anything Oh how about corn worm in the Congo? Ah! That must be good yes And an outbreak the crop-destroying army worm has spread to the Democratic Republic of Congo, laying waste to 63 thousand hectares of corn and causing prices at two almost triple. Now the outbreak has destroyed about 80% of the corn in four regions along the country's southeastern border with Zambia that resulted in a price of 25 kilogram bag of corn rising to $30 from about ten dollars The situation in Congo is particularly concerning because the country's other 2 main staples

2:42:42 which is bananas and cassava, are also currently affected by other diseases. Someone's getting cornhole today! Sounds like a recipe for success to me. Perfect...corn worm be on the lookout for it. It's like ants only worse.
