Personfriend

00:00 Hate him, hate him, hate him, hate him, hate him! Adam Curry. John C. DeVore. It's Thursday March 30th 2017 this is your award-winning Getmo Nation Media assassination episode 9 or 1 6 This is no agenda Analyzing Article 50, so you don't have to. And broadcasting live from the darkest corners of the internet here in downtown Austin, Tejas Capitol, The Drone Star State in the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're in the midst of a windstorm...I'm John C. DeVore acting Oh interesting we have a lot of wind here too at the moment. Everything's blowing. It's dangerous though in Texas when it's 80 degrees and wind is very dangerous. Why? Fire! Oh yeah, well same thing here if you had 80 degrees and a lot of wind it would be... Well right now so green I don't think anything can burn yet. Right well the only difference is in Texas

00:58 It's only green where people live you know the stuff that burns is where people live in California. You burn the hillside Yeah, you know the nature you burn nature and we burned people or Texas What can I tell you before? We start John One of our producers, JJ Meyer has been helping me in particular helping us. As you know we always try to fix ourselves when it comes to things that were saying and repeating and we've gone through a number of iterations of this. Yes he's one of those guys but he's doing in a very friendly manner I like it now they all do in a friendly manner I know man there is well deserved that we

01:38 We do these things, yes. Yeah so we've done a fact of the matter end of the day right number of things that we've healed from now you haven't quite healed but you're on your way I'm for here from what well you will say things like you are actually saying the fact of the matter and i meant to say that which is kind of a cop-out I mean you just need to buy quick that means I caught it or or other ways possible that I meant to say it Well, apparently. Okay I know what you're saying because i do this a lot I do this a lot. But, yeah you keep saying of course. Yes! This is what J.J. Meyer has discovered that i say of course A LOT in fact... I wish someone would put the medley together On episode 9 or 1 4 I said it 22 times You said only once Episode nine or one five Here's the way I see let's just back off maybe he's missing the point

02:39 Because when I say something you would naturally say of course That's over now That's over we're not gonna do any of that anymore no, no episode 915. I said it 33 times to your two Yeah No, we need people to Help us help me. Help me I need a lot of help have you ever had your about the turn 65 April 5th very excited about your birthday We have a number of birthday greetings for the first time in 10 years I sent you a gift You did I did that's cute here's what's fun? Oh oh

03:23 Ten years of knowing you, I still don't have your address written down anywhere. Oh, you know what? Same with you! It's in the email... Hey, what's your address? So he sent it to me and I take it from the email and write on the package. And then there it goes. The email is still gone. What is wrong with us?! And the email should say address or something in this subject line but it never does! Here you go. I went through that last night as well and like ah screw it, i'm just sending into the PO box It's like nowhere to find that address so let's come into the po box tomorrow okay or Saturday tomorrow with it But have you ever had this happen? This is the weirdest thing So our garbage disposal my garbage disposal broke. It's not ours yet when moving to a new place. That'll be ours

04:15 And it was leaking water. And so I'm walking around the kitchen block and on my socks, and I walked through some water like oh man what's going on? So I discover this... I find it very annoying to walk in socks into water Right me too! And then you know so I figured out the problem and put a little bowl under it and don't use that side of the sink okay fine Then I couldn't find my socks What did I do with my socks?! Oh wait, you took the... Okay. You stepped in the water with your socks and instead of just walking it off you took the socks off? Yeah And then you put them someplace and lost them Yes Congratulations! But where did I put them?! Hey! Where'd my socks go!? I found them Actually i didn't find them In your refrigerator Close It wasn't until about half-an hour later Tina says Can I ask you a question

05:10 Yeah, I know your socks are wet. But why'd you throw them in the trash? Wow decadent I'd ask that question too. I have no idea My socks got wet I must throw them away What am I doing does that has this happen with more frequency the older you get No I my goal is to just make sure i never put the keys to the car in the refrigerator and then you've done that. As long as that doesn't happen, im still good Youve done what? Youve put the keys in the refrigerator No no but I suspected something could happen Oh man

06:02 Anyway, oh and last night. I discovered something. I have a grief. I've had some Beef I should say of a beef Sean Spicer sweaty Sean listen up when they took over the White House They also took over the White House website And there's now only one RSS feed for the entire site where they're used to be separate feeds for policy documents for executive orders for proclamations. So I've been missing important proclamations and we know that this is a very important part of any president's job. Well, it's also an important part of the show and this is how you've been doing it? Yeah! And so now I just go wait a minute there's no RSS feed No wonder it's not showing up anymore You sure? Yeah yeah I'm very sure. We missed March 25th as Greek Independence Day A national day of celebration of Greek and American democracy Very sad about that

07:02 We missed National Poison Prevention Week, March 15th through 2017. And then of course the executive order that well we don't talk about that right now I went through the Energy Independence and Economic Growth Executive Order everyone's freaking out about yeah if you want to do it's not as not very yeah what once you go in right now and tell us what they're freaking out about Well because Trump did exactly what he promised This guy, you know you elect a guy and he actually goes and does them? It's really cool. He has no clue this is political incompetence it's nutty Now he's really really done quite a lot In reversing or actually nullifying actually the reward is either revoke there's two words There's revoke and then the other word is I'm gonna find that

08:01 Revoke or save? I wish it were revoke or save. Well, I'll tell you what is actually in it and what this is removing is the former administration's clean power plan and a lot of this is about coal but the clean power plan was kind of problematic 27 states 24 trade associations and 37 rural electric co-ops and three labor unions have lawsuits against the Clean Power Plan. Of course, a lot of that is about coal. The executive order stops all pending litigation clean just really cleans up everything lifts the ban on federal leasing for coal production what I liked in the actual language because there's a...I think the news media did they just get the summary and they just use that it doesn't seem like they actually read the full executive order

08:58 The idea, and this is part policy promoting energy independence and economic growth. Part of the policy is we should be using our own resources which I think a lot of people have said why wouldn't we do that anyway? Finally we can cut off Canada as our source of foreign oil. All those bastards in Canada! Although will make pipelines and stuff a lot easier but the thing I liked here Part of the policy, it is in the national interest to ensure the nation's electricity is affordable, reliable safe secure and clean. And that it can be produced from the following coal natural gas nuclear material flowing water and other domestic resources including renewable sources as a policy I think that's pretty good. I like seeing nuclear in there flowing water. I don't know why they don't say hydropower but okay flowing water

09:55 And it's exactly what he promised to do. And yeah, it removes a lot of Obama's... I think the main thing which is really a gotcha Is there was this... There was some committee Some blue ribbon committee about The social cost of carbon Or some bullcrap like that You know all kinds of luminaries on it Boom! Goodbye! You're now disbanded Go away And for those of us who question the science on climate change, yeah. It looks like we can do a lot more I'd love to see more nuclear. I'd love to see clean coal which you've always touted as it possibility is that in play now? Clean coal? It's been in play for awhile Does it work? Yeah

10:43 It's not as clean as natural gas, but it's clean. I mean the floating bed technologies, the scrubbers that you can put on the stacks...you can really get most of this stuff out of the stacks if you put a little effort into it. Electrostatic precipitators, there are a lot of technologies that can clean up the effluent from the burning coal. The problem with coal is the way I see it. and I'm not in the business, and haven't been for 25 years but I have been is the coal ash. The coal ash is a huge pain in the ass if they could find something to do with coal ash that was beneficial somehow. In other words instead of being a big piece of crap that they don't know what to do with it makes a mess but you can turn into something that would be it we would right back on coal

11:38 Well, he did exactly what he said he would do. And it was actually interesting because Brian Williams the bastion of truth was able to take, you know... I guess Trump tweeted something. We'll figure it out It's in this article so he tweeted something and went lost their crap over it but listen what Brian Williams does and how he turns us right towards climate change The leader of the free world was back on Oh man! He is not a leader of the free world Please stop this I would be really sad if any American president was truly the leader of the free world. The leader of the free world was back on Twitter tonight, another version... Stop, I'm gonna stop that again. I think- now that you mentioned and pointed out your right it's dumb but i think this is part of the globalist agenda Of course it is! This is why they're so angry

12:33 Let's make it this, yeah the leader of the free world. It's not that you're right he is the president of United States He is not a leader of the free world In fact there is a complete microaggression Now that you brought up I'm irked about it It's a micro aggression It's a microaggression against every other country. Yes, of course it is like hey bitches We got the leader of the free world who you it's a complete micro aggression? It's not nice and I remember this used to be said all the time when I was growing up in Europe and people would roll their eyes Yeah, leader of the free world okay if you can point to Denmark on the map urine that's how that's how the Europeans will think about it

13:13 Yes, and I'm sure that would be a good test for most people. In fact later in the show I have such a test. Oh very good. The leader of the free world was back on Twitter tonight another version of nothing to see here on The Russia Story another attempt actually to diminish our institutions promote Fox News and deflect the attention of to the Clintons quote Why doesn't fake news talk about Podesta ties to Russia as covered by Fox News or money from Russia to Clinton? Sale of uranium. And Michael, you know I like to invoke the shiny object rule which means that there's a distraction in the air to keep us away from the story

13:52 But today the Russia argument kept us away from a very serious story at the EPA signing ceremony today and this deserves more than a mention by us tonight but what he signed today executive order that nullifies Obama's climate change efforts and revives the coal industry another note about that in a moment but the US will not meet Obama era co2 guidelines quote turning denials of climate change into national policy this network pointed out all day the coal industry employs roughly 70,000 individuals right now hard to ramp that up in a way given the fuel source but this was why what does he mean by that hard to ramp that up

14:40 Okay, here. This is the meme that's going around I started seeing this good gun glad you caught it something about last week It the mean began with oh 70 thousand jobs Walmart employs four hundred thousand dollars five percent 400 thousand people How is seventy thousand more important than four hundred thousands got it got it of course? He's all the wrong way seventy thousand is a lot if they showed up from for your birthday party would be Yeah. Oh! Ramp that up in a way given the fuel source but this was real substantive news for our children and our children's children. Please think of the children today at EPA Sure Brian I mean there is nothing more important than the fate of the climate and planet That's right, there is nothing more important than the fate of the planet and the climate

15:34 Hello, Captain Obvious. prominence than it's getting partly because of the antics around the Russian investigation. Okay, so that's how we bring it all back to to the EPA now on the previous episode I brought one of my famous exposés in this case renewable energy with Al Gore and a lot of people caught something that neither I nor you caught and I know why I didn't catch it because I was just too deep and you were right

16:23 The entire package was probably two clips too long. I should have taken them out, got a little confusing but instead of holding that until our post-show analysis you were thinking oh i'm so bored and that's why you missed it because you usually catch this stuff and it was right at the end of Al Gore General Partner at Kleiner Perkins with investments in over 20 renewable companies when he said the following. That's the inflection point that we're right, that we're poised on right now with renewable energy that is cheaper than the old dirty polluting energy. And once these solar panels are installed by the way there's no fuel costs for the next kilowatt hour it's zero marginal cost there's no pollution involved they're no moving parts

17:18 And adopting a slightly longer time frame for the decision making, you say well wait a minute it's not just the cost this year or for the next year or two. It's the lifetime cost we make a lot of...a lot more money We save a lot more money by shifting to non-polluting sources There is is truth always wants to come out Exactly You make a lot more money You do Al Gore, you make a lot more money Now, following up on this I received a number of emails. Once again, I am blown away by our producers who come from all walks of life including producer who shall go unnamed. I was treasurer for a large energy company in the European Union he told me which one it is he checks out but he wants that to be kept confidential obviously This puts me in an excellent position to follow the money feel free to use his info

18:12 In Europe we have something called the merit order, meaning that there is a specific order in which the different sources are prioritized on the grid. Solar and wind first and all the way down to coal meaning that all the sources being thought of as clean have a very high priority on the grid this makes the entire system very inefficient On high wind days with a decent amount of sunshine, there's more power available than we are able to handle. The net effect is negative prices! This is sometimes used to pump water into basins and drain them when prices are high. Think about that... We're actually wasting energy

18:50 The process is called pump storage. Oh, okay! I guess you store the energy by pumping it into a basin and then you can get the energy back with hydro as you drain it out? Actually there is one of the plants if you go up to 101, I think in...toward Port Angeles in Washington State there's one of these plants and it has one of these systems that they pump when they have a lot of energy they pump this...they don't come into a basin, they pump it up the hill into a big reservoir and then when they need that energy, they run it down these pipes into a hydroelectric plant. So its kind of battery? Its a storage system thats interesting! It's a form of the battery exactly I wonder what the efficiency is about

19:32 Crap. This process makes the coal and gas plants very inefficient since it is hard and energy consuming to start them up in itself this is not an issue other than some financial environmental aspects the big downside Is that the taxpayer's paying for this inefficiency? Wind and solar are still very far from being profitable without subsidies our current thinking, and this as he saying the industry, is that offshore wind will never certainly not within 20 years, give any decent return on investment. Onshore wind might break even in 10 years depending on technological developments. Solar is nice but not usable on any scale in the coming 10 years however if you throw in a large amount of subsidies you get a money bonanza!

20:17 Putting up more wind does not help anything other than the contractors that build them and energy companies that run them. Since most of the old school energy providers are having to take huge impairments on their assets, coal and gas they're investing like crazy in new wind parks New permits are sold for very high amounts it is a lose-lose situation for these companies Don't do it, go bankrupt since you have a lot of assets that are virtually useless. Or do it and pay way too much." Some tried to locate their bad assets in separate listings on the stock exchange I hope this helps feel free to disregard or contact me if you want more information So there ya got None of its all obvious None of its surprising but it's nice to hear from someone in the industry On the treasure, financial side Yeah So he knows the numbers

21:06 Uh, so then for Al Gore to say it's cheaper. Yeah. With subsidies is cheaper and if it's based on bankruptcy thank you for putting that in the newsletter. Yeah. It's going of course I always read the news. I corrected the newsletter. Did you ever read the final though? It had all the pictures. A brief look. I didn't have time. Was a good...I'm sure was great. Oh hilarious! The funniest newsletter ever wrote. Man, I can't believe it. I did a redux on the mudflats. That, I did see yeah how's it looking? Let me take a look. Hold on hold on hold on hold on a second and i shouldn't have asked that if I wasn't even prepared because of what's happening in Greenland right now the maps of the world will have to be redrawn this is what would happen to San Francisco Bay

22:02 That's right everybody, JC Dvorak! How are the mudflats as you look out your window? Still there. It looks like a semi-low tide I'll tell you this the mud flats are pretty barren but the freeway is all jammed up for some reason. Oh geez... Also now just coming out according to The Guardian US scientists launched world's biggest solar geoengineering study it's gonna happen It's going to happen. I predicted this, I said oh they're gonna do it and they're gonna say we were testing for a while anyway we know it works and then of course we understand where chemtrails come from. Scientists hope to complete two small scale dispersals of first water then calcium carbonate particles future tests could involve seeding the sky with aluminum oxide or even diamonds now you're talking. Diamonds in the sky forever! Diamonds in the sky... Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds

22:57 Unbelievable. So it's gonna happen, geoengineering and that's all we need That's all we need Yeah, we can't do anything You're right What a joke! Yeah, that'll screw things up big time Well that's what the movie with the train going through Snowpiercer or wherever it was Was all about Snowpiercer? Oh you gotta watch this movie It's fantastic I'l write it down Make sure to get title right chatroom Give him the right title I think he is called Snowpiercer It's a dynamite science fiction movie. It's about a train that has to keep moving around the globe, round and round and round forever for infinite time because some jokers had fooled around with the climate in it, whole globe froze over. Snowpiercer is correct okay I've written it down. Okay good. I recommend it Hey you have...I saw of course for people who don't know when we

23:49 When we do this program, I have no idea what John's bringing to every episode. He has no idea what I'm bringing into every episode and uh...I don't listen to his clips. I have no idea. It creates a dynamic clash that we're looking for. So I would humbly request that you roll out your package of Article 50 Ah, yes. Well the big news this week of course was Article 50 which has been implemented by... Which is surprising we kind of expected that not to happen I'm still waiting. Okay, I'm holding out! You think that even though it's triggered there's still no Brexit until the fat lady sings? Until there is a Brexit, there is no Brexit. Now we have...I have a bunch of clips obviously on Article 50. A lot of them are involving...well let's first start with this. This little Farage clip he's caught on the street and

24:49 And he makes a little comment at the end, which I'm going to use as the theme for these clips. For 25 years I've been campaigning on this and standing in elections and making these arguments. And I guess the honest truth is for the first 22 or 23 years it was a real minority sport you know we were laughed at abused it was an impossible dream and hey here we are its happening and at 1230 today we passed the point of no return there'll be lots of argument about the deal negotiations but the big story is after today we are leaving you be at 12.30 when the Prime Minister makes her speech? Obviously, you won't be in Parliament to witness it how will you be taking in this moment? I might be a pub! Watching Sky News with a pint? Undoubtedly yeah no it is a big moment and

25:33 What I get is this, there are lots of people here in Westminster this morning that are bitter angry upset but actually out there in the country there's now quite a big acceptance that this has happened and we need to get on with it. And the Prime Minister was calling for the country to come together...I think in a way it is Okay so coming together supposedly well its definitely not coming together in Parliament No But I would agree that things are changing a tad bit in Britain Let's start with Article 50 invoked Part 1 and this is the during Prime Minister question time they stop, they stop the questions and they do this. Statement of the Prime Minister Thank you Mr Speaker

26:29 The government acts on the democratic will of the British people and it acts too on the clear and convincing position of this House. A few minutes ago in Brussels, the United Kingdom's permanent representative to the EU handed a letter to the President of the European Council on my behalf confirming the government's decision to invoke Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. The Article 50 process is now underway and in accordance with the wishes of the British people, the United Kingdom is leaving the European Union." It reminds me a little bit of George Bush when he announced

27:12 Shock and awe over Baghdad. Is the is she's talking away, and then she gets in it. It's getting so raucous in there This by the way into raucousness coming up from the labor side but mostly From the Scottish National Party people the Scott right they wanted to say they're a bunch of They want to stay and have Europe steal their fish They like that for apparently that sounds exactly like what they're angling for But let's play part two where you get the interruption yet? And this is a

27:57 An example of understatement as an insult, which the British do better than Americans generally speaking. But this is a good one. But a country that reaches beyond the borders of Europe too? Can I just apologize for having to interrupt the Prime Minister? Mr Boswell calm yourself you've got to try and learn how to behave in a statesman like fashion! That's your long term goal it may be very long term but it should be a goal And what I say to the House is this, you can study the record. I will want all colleagues to have a chance to question the Prime Minister but this is a very important statement and I think it's reasonable to expect that the Prime Minister gets a courteous hearing and then every other colleague should get a courteous hearing. The Prime Minister? Mr Speaker

28:45 I want us to be a truly global Britain, the best friend and neighbor to our European partners but a country that reaches beyond the borders of Europe too. You know i've always appreciated that and certainly these days I appreciate how the Brits...I lived there for five years so I have a little standing.. I appreciate the sarcastic way they can tear you down I think the only time we had a classy teardown in the United States and politics was, I'm sorry Senator you're no Jack Kennedy. Here if anyone says anything it's right away microaggression!

29:27 Yeah, the classy comebacks or what? It's nice. I still appreciate nobody cares Okay, I do they just want to scream at people but now let's hear that this is the last of these of these clips from this particular presentation and it's a very Contrasty to what you've seen by the mainstream media They don't show you any of this stuff Let me finish some sorry this needs a lot of setup because I don't know why we don't get to see this stuff, but this last example from the Prime Minister trying to say finish her damn six minute speech which she couldn't do because they kept yelling and screaming. This is...I left up this clip intact so you could hear how long it went on when the Scots just went off on her and they're yelling all kinds of crazy stuff and there's just...and it goes

30:18 On and on and on. And the Speaker of the Parliament never stopped it, which is really weird to me because he could have or should have but he let it go on so she had to kind of interrupt her way back in I just found this to be one of the most interesting moments of the whole event The European Union and the wider world Because perhaps now more than ever The world needs the liberal democratic values of Europe values. Perhaps now more than ever the world needs the liberal democratic values of Europe,

31:17 Values that the United Kingdom shares. And that is why, while we are leaving the institutions of the European Union We are not leaving Europe! We will remain a close friend and ally. We will be a committed partner. We will play our part to ensure that Europe is able to project its values and defend itself from security threats Yeah where was the order? Order! Yeah, I was baffled by that moment. He didn't say anything he just let him go. Let me make her sound better here... They were and the visuals on this was dynamite because they shot over where the Scots all are and they're slapping their knees and they're pointing and they're laughing and they're slapping each other on the back of there making a huge racket over her comment which was that European liberal values are important. You know what? The problem is she doesn't command the audience if she needs to project differently in order to shut them up by any example

32:11 She doesn't sound good in the bowcoder. I know that's too bad The bow eight ball was bet with the best it depend Yeah, it really depends on your voice sometimes It just doesn't sound good to bed so I believe this is I believe this is Juncker and he's making just kind of a sad commentary on article 50 Until the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, EU law will continue to apply to and within the UK. Finally I would like to say that we have just released an official statement by the European Council

32:56 in which leaders stress that we will act as one and start negotiations by focusing on all key arrangements for an orderly withdrawal. On Friday, I will share a proposal of the negotiating guidelines with the Member States to be adopted by the European Council on 29 April. I will refer to this and I will comment our proposals on Friday during our press conference with Prime Minister Joseph Muscat in Malta. And what can I add to this? Nothing, we already miss you. Thank you and goodbye Wasn't that Tusk? That didn't sound like Juncker. Yeah it may have been Tusk, you're right. Yeah it wasn't Junker...I have a report from the Eurozone about the rest of the EU leaders if I can interject for a moment

33:56 Yes. And Taiani said Europe's objective is to defend its citizens and would stand up for itself. He said, we don't have baddies or goodies. We are defending the interests of citizens and if that means we have to take a tough stance, we will do so but our aim is only to defend the interest of citizens." If we can do so without playing the part of baddies, I would prefer that. I hope we can do so politely, gracefully and in as pleasant and nice a fashion as possible but will see." The European Parliament's lead negotiator Guy Verhofstadt wants the rights of EU nationals who arrive in UK over next two years to be protected

34:46 and said MEPs are prepared to block a deal. If the outcome of the negotiations is not in conformity with the points, with conditions we have put public today then yeah then we're going to use our veto power it's clear So veto power for that I mean you can't stop them from leaving can you? Where is he talking purely about the deal moving forward? The deal. The deal, right. What do they need in the deal? Purely banking, right? Banking and immigration... There's a rhetorical question here that needs to be asked which is, the Brits want to maintain the same trade relations with the EU that they had before Brexit. That's pretty much all they want.

35:34 And the European Union was established at the beginning, as I thought and a lot of people thought it. I think Farage likes to make this point as a trading zone so we could have all one market. It was no single market thing and then all of a sudden or out of the blue on maybe not quite out of the blue but they started pushing their weight around about what regular how countries should run themselves right? So, they set up these commissions in Brussels mostly to tell them what laws to obey. And that's why they say we still have to obey European law as opposed to British law which is more or less... Adam, wasn't that the EEC? The European Economic Community isn't that already in place can't they just use that? No no that was incorporated it's all part of the same deal

36:22 I think it's all one thing now, and you have to...and it reminds me a little bit. And I wish more people would read this book called Who's Trade Organization? WTO. It reminds me a little bit of what goes on in the WTO where they have managed to take American sovereignty away with rules that are in violation of our own laws. But if you're gonna be in the WTO, which is a trading club... You gotta adhere to it. Right? Which I think is how the EU's gonna end up dealing with Great Britain. They're gonna end up with okay, you can write your own laws on this but by, because they were writing laws like on feather count and pillows, how many feathers do you have in there? Yeah and how much water toilet tank can contain all kinds of stuff like that. That sort of thing so now as a trade agreement they could say well

37:12 only trade with us if you obey these rules, which will be the same rules. In other words about the toilet and about the pillows, which is the way that WTO works so I don't mean so all they're getting back as kind of a faux sovereignty because they're losing sovereignty with these trade deals. These trade deals are horrible and it's all part of one world government it's the way I see this only thing that makes any sense. You will obey! That's the message. Now, I don't think that there is a...I mean this is still not confident this will work out the way they'd like it to. No! No, I don't think so either of course not. This is huge strife

37:58 Now the thing that's, the one meme going around in the United States and in the media is that Russia, of course they're pushing the Russia thing even harder than ever. Are you moving off EU because Brexit? No no I'm not, my next clip is about Article 50 from the perspective of RT. Ah yes, Lerouskis! Now I don't have the whole thing because it was too long But I put a good amount of it in here, what the way their take is. Oh this all falling apart they're terrible there! They all hate the EU! I mean the Russians are definitely exaggerating it from the other perspective but when I hear stuff on American media where it says The Russians are trying to...they don't like the EU they're trying to undermine the EU They're trying to undermine our democracy Everything everything we have to kill them

38:44 It's like, yes they are trying to undermine the EU and why do you think that is? They're trying... The other meme was they aren't trying to undermine the EU and they're trying to undermine NATO. Yes! Duh! Oh those Russians So let's play this RT. Once article 50 is triggered Britain and the EU will have two years to renegotiate their relationship during that time the UK will remain an EU member albeit with one foot already out the door then two years down the line Britain will officially step out of the club and go it alone

39:26 The UK's anti-EU vote last June shocked the political establishment and exposed public anger over uncontrolled migration and regulation from Brussels. Wow, I gotta clip that one for myself! That was a great stop sweeper! You know they're completely out of control. They're out of control! That was a great stop sweeper I gotta get that. That was a good one and regulation from Brussels Wow growing populist movements across the continent are enthused in a pre-brexit world this woman was considered a fringe politician now she's tipped to make the second round of France's looming presidential election

40:09 The real blow to the old order, the thing that is going to set off a domino effect that will bring down all of EU is Brexit. A sovereign people have decided their own destiny." Marine Le Pen France's National Front leader wants the country decide its own destiny too She has called the EU system of oppression and has predicted 2017 will be year when the people of continental Europe wake up Oh, there it is again. from the EU and impose a ban on newcomers. It's expected to win its first seats in Berlin's parliament this September. Our leaders no longer guarantee the basic principles of European democracy, we don't believe the European Union is a leading power any longer. According to the European Commissioner Germany will have to shell out over four

41:12 billion euros extra into the European budget once the UK leaves. Something that risks attracting even more Germans to the anti-European cause. Hold on a second, hold on one second John I want to talk about... It went on with Italy and Austria... Okay, just wanted to ISO that it's just too good not to do it okay and have ISO'd it Nice. Okay, we'll call this RT Stop Sweeper. What a good one that is! RT stop... I think it's a bit extreme Well of course it's extreme It's RT But it's still darn good No it's a good one- I'm not saying it's not good but I mean it's to the point of being almost cliche It's almost uh.. It's almost too- I think it's annoying I think here well do- This will work This will sound really good Here we go Ah ha ha ha

42:18 Good try scumbag Perfect told you yeah, no. Yeah nail that is that is actually I hate to do this I really hate to do this why but that's so good. I want you to do it again Okay, just I just cleaned him up all right. No problem. We can do it again. I can recreate it in seconds here we go Good dry scumbag That's the best. That's a ringtone right there, everybody Well I think the message is...

43:02 I think that's the message. Well, one of the things we have to remember and Trump said it only once that i recall during the campaign he says that the EU was designed and I believe this to be true because that's the way I always understood it The EU was designed to put all these countries together so they can make a trading partnership that can compete with the United States as though as right as a big giant market right with their own money and everything Yeah, with their own everything. And so that was the idea and it was in other words it was a foe to the United States. So I've never been a fan of the EU knowing that Trump brought it up once and he was yelled down there's a bunch of people in the United States that seem to think the EU is like, well you know it's the same like the people in Berkeley and other areas that think they should have bike paths everywhere because if you put bike paths up everyone will get a bike so there's a bike path on Marin Avenue in Albany that goes up the road It was a four-lane road going up and down the hill

44:03 And it worked very well as a four-lane road because when there was a stoplight, you'd have two lanes of cars waiting to go and they only back up like maybe six deep. But now because there's only one lane in a bike path they back up 12 deep at the same stoplight and they don't clear so you can't get through the stoplight! Meanwhile the bike path I've only seen, this thing's been there for six years now ruining the experience. Six years and I think I've seen two bicyclists on this thing It's a joke, but oh no you build the bike. That's what there's a bunch of people that all in on the EU and drive and riding bicycles everywhere and all this idea lot you know this idealism it's unbelievable ended And so there's some we have a bunch of people always Trump doesn't like to eat You only you know any shouldn't only you could take us from brexit to bike paths I do appreciate that that's very very interesting um I had a lot of fun

45:02 last night posting a particular video to a lot of my friends back in the day when I was growing up we were like you know 13 maybe 12, maybe even 10 sex pistols. You know we all whether the sex pistols of anarchy yeah Anarchy in the UK we loved the sex pistols And now of course my friends who grew up with me, they still live in the European Union and you know they're now grown-up. They have grown up jobs and they hate Trump! Of course he's ruining everything! Hate him hate him hate him hate him hate him hate him! So I thought it was fun to post this video of John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten of The Sex Pistols appearing on

45:43 Good morning Britain with Pierce. Pierce Morgan is now on that program and I just love, just to make heads explode, I posted this. It's great to see you this morning was it an experience meeting Nigel Farage your Brexit spokesman? Fantastic! After the River Thames argument he had with Bob Geldof I wanted to shake his hand because it was silly beyond belief And where do I stand on Brexit? Well, here it goes. The working class have spoke and i'm one of them and with them. When you hear someone like Alistair Campbell spelling out what he thinks could be the real downside... Oh! I gave up listening to him a long time ago. But you're US citizen now aren't you? So you've got Trump as your leader

46:27 The Donald, wow. He's a complicated fella and as one journalist once said to me is he the political sex pistol? Well in a way, but what I dislike is the left-wing media in America are trying to smear the bloke as a racist and that's completely not true. There's many many problems with him as a human being but he's not that and there just might be a chance something good will come out of that situation because he terrifies politicians. This is joy to behold. Right, I mean that very much is the Sex Pistols thing. Anti-establishment... He is the absolutely archetypal anti-establishment character in Bollywood. So dare I say a possible friend? That would be an unlikely friendship we could have!

47:24 I'm getting more and more tweets. I think there's some group is on to us now. Oh, I've noticed that we've been getting some... Trump lovers! Yeah, yeah, Trump lovers. Trump love this was I've got it. I got a couple of tweets from that and immediately got blocked So I blocked most of them, but it was the same It's almost the same meme when did you become a trump lover? I go ego You go over there and you look at sky guy with 12 followers maybe for hey are assuming his gender oh Yes, I am. And they don't follow you like follows you even if they do it's no big deal. I generally report them to the commissar. The authorities! I got two hate Trumps love clips It works well if you just turn around They have Love Trumps Hate which is a thing and we have Hate Trumps Love

48:28 Chris, Chris Matthews who is you know any minute now I expect this guy to start drooling on camera. Does he even have any teeth in his face anymore? It doesn't look like it and he just yeah he does he's got he just has a funny uh bite he just gets all again he gets all worked up like in a minute he's gonna start maybe his teeth may be gone from grinding oh that's grinding So he was talking about Jared Kushner and Ivanka, who now are becoming official both official members of the administration with everything that comes along with it. You know so no more business on the side and all that kind of stuff. So that's good you know make it official then you can really hold their feet to the fire but Chris Matthews sees a differently. This is what I worry about for other people in the White House. Ivanka Trump has been described as her father's eyes and ears on the ground That's a little scary Oh crap

49:20 I deleted the good part and left only... Oh yeah, this happened to me a couple months ago if you remember. We played the clip it was... And goodbye! That's all it was. Oh no, oh no, I can't believe I did that. Well anyway he compared Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump to Saddam Hussein's kids Udi and Dugudan. Oh my god, are you kidding me? That was a clip of the day you threw away! Now now you're just taunting me...now I'm gonna find it in the show notes and yes i'll tell you what while I'm looking forward I will play you the second

50:00 Hate Trump's love clip this comes from Sarah Silverman I just took all of my money out of my bank and brought it to a credit union. I did it because well, I was watching all the stuff about the Dakota access pipeline And why they would be making an oil pipeline on these people sacred land Well, they originally planned on putting it in like this rich neighborhood and then the rich neighborhoods said fuck no and then they were like okay It was just so black-and-white wronged to me And I realized that was a part of it. In that the investors in this pipeline are banks who give their money to big oil and I realized as long as my money is in a big bank, I'm apart of the problem." Very interesting history she has about the... Yeah she's part of the problem alright. But does not realize that Obamacare is just nothing? Is banks? It's just banks!

50:57 Insurance companies are banks, everything's banks. But I don't know about this rich white neighborhood said no way F that please. What Richard White? I have no idea what she is talking about. Rich white neighborhood is around that area. I have no idea what she is talking about but listen to Chris Matthews I took your challenge and found the clue.

51:45 Is there any evidence that she's like a butcher or a psychopath? She has eyes and ears, yes. But just like Uday and Huda Kwei they could kill ya! If you look at them funny That is the worst clip ever Worst clip ever okay That clip sucked I didn't think the clip sucked. I don't have a worst clue that clip was worse ever, i dont have that jingle Well not worse because it's a poorly chosen clip It's just like really what is wrong with these people? well... Jump lover

52:27 I have a little sequence here. It's completely unimportant in the world of anything, but it got so blown out of proportion that i had-I just had to bring it to the show um this is an exchange that took place between Sweaty Sean Spicer, spokeshole for President Trump and the White House administration. And April Ryan. And April Ryan is... She's quite a staple in the White House press corps at least she has been during this election cycle I haven't really seen her much before She is uh..I think she's the news director and certainly a host on the urban radio networks I don't know much about the urban radio networks I don't know how big it is or what the reach is I just don't know much about it

53:10 But she sits about, I'd say five rows back. So she has reasonable importance there and she was asking... The whole exchange was seven or eight minutes and she asked Sean Spicer about hey what about Russia? And Sean Spicer said look you know we can't talk about Russia anymore We got nothing to talk about Russia because we got nothing right now It's all in the investigation and She didn't like that and they got into this exchange and I was starting to edit it down when I found An edit already done for me and editorialized by Brian Williams, the bastion of truth. So I thought we'd play the Brian Williams edit of the April Ryan sweaty Sean Spicer rift and then we can go in there laugh a bit about some more appearances from Ms. Ryan How does this administration try to revamp its image? Two-and-a-half months in you've got this shade story today

54:05 You've got other things going on. You've got Russia... He's actually asking how can this administration revamp its image, which really has nothing to do with Russia? Just how can you revamp the image? It's kind of a knocking it dumb question really. ...you've got other things going on. You've got Russia and you've got wiretapping and you've got... No we don't have that! You- I know. ...on Capitol Hill... No no I get it but you keep at—I said it from The day that I got here until whatever, there is no connection. You've got Russia! If the president puts Russian salad dressing on his salad tonight somehow thats a Russian connection. Welcome back to the 11th hour. Sean Spicer got increasingly hostile with reporters in the briefing room today, hear a bit more of the back and forth with April Ryan there of American Urban Radio Networks At some point report the facts The facts are that every single person who has been briefed on this subject has come away with the same conclusion Republican, Democrat

55:01 I'm sorry that that disgusts you. You're shaking your head, but understand this... At some point the facts are what they are and every single person who has been briefed on the situation with respect to the situation with Russia Republican Democrat Obama appointee career have all come to the same conclusion at some point April you gonna have to take no for an answer with respect whether or not there was collusion It seems like you're hell-bent on trying to make sure that whatever image you want to tell about this White House stays. Because at the end of the day, let me answer... I understand. Okay but you know what? You're asking a question and i'm going to answer it which is the president..I'm sorry please stop shaking your head again

55:44 There was plenty of reaction to that. Maggie Haberman of the New York Times said on Twitter, quote stop shaking your head again Spicer lectures April Ryan who is a grown woman for her part April and herself simply replied Lorde L A W D. Laudy lady. That was a good now that was a clip by borderline clip of the day. Oh thank you it gets even better I believe Yeah, they put some...these guys on MSNBC are psychos and they're going to put a little more effort into this sort of thing to find it you know to make to demean the administration. It's very funny Well now let's take April Ryan on CNNs who have some form of agenda This was really good You heard The Exchange Now at no point did he say she is an idiot

56:39 That was not in the exchange. He said, stops to shaken your head a microaggression for sure to a grown woman But the micro aggression is her shaking your head Thank you And I've been in business meetings You know with men and women and then people who identify as whatever they identify with and in business and this is business politics It's business sometimes it's just shut up You know you need to get into it, but you can't be all butt-heard about it I mean just listen to this listen to this Do you feel as though there's more of a personal attack from Sean Spicer when he calls somebody an idiot when he says no one called her An idiot so that's editorializing which is unfair. I didn't like that sir When when he calls somebody an idiot when he says to you stop shaking your head Is that I mean look there has always been an adversarial relationship

57:28 relationship between the press secretary and the press but is there something on a deeper more personal level happening now? It's a tough one. Big sigh... That's some microaggression! Totally, and the question is a microaggression because she's implying maybe he doesn't like you cuz you're woman maybe doesn't like you cuz your black maybe doesn't like you because your both. It's a tough one and I want to believe that Mike McCurry said, the former press secretary for Bill Clinton. He said there's a friendly adversarial relationship I believe the friendly piece is gone now as you've said Alison. What is she 14? Oh it so...I'm a little shocked Now as you've said Allison

58:26 It is getting personal, but it should never get personal in that room. It should be about the issues I have no agenda You know Calling people out of their name If you get personal it could go back and forth for days And its not about the issues and its about the issues this is the white house, this is the home. The workspace of the president of the united states, the leader of the free world people want to know what he's thinking. Leader of the free world there it is again leader of the free world I have no agenda. The workspace of the president of the United States, the leader of the free world people want to know what he's thinking, what he's doing. I cover all things presidential It's not about me some of us she says Is Not About Me very important to remember that This is not about me going. I cover all

59:10 things presidential. It's not about me some of the spin that's offered from this White House and maybe other white houses but I will tell you this too as well, you know in that room that i've been sitting in for 20 years and to see it recently you just wonder about some of the people that are coming in the room now are they really journalists or are they spectators posing as journalists? She has all kinds she had all kinds of issues Now, again we heard two things in there. One is she said this is not about me and remember what she's asking about was the image revamping the image like yeah I don't know it's very important question. I have no agenda! I like that I'd like that she has no agenda will keep that in there now CNN went back to The Well remember it's not about April Ryan It's not about her Not About Her but until Hillary Clinton gets involved in it then whoa it's about me

1:00:02 April Ryan, a respected journalist with unrivaled integrity was doing her job just this afternoon in the White House press room when she was patronized and cut off trying to ask a question. Oh imagine that happening! Imagine that! Patronized and cut off trying to ask a question one of your own California Congresswomen Maxine Waters was taunted with a racist joke about her hair. Now, too many women... especially women of- Well hold on just wait I have the clip no NO! I'm in charge of the block i have the clip Just go with the flow okay well one of your own california congresswomen maxine waters

59:10 things presidential. It's not about me some of the spin that's offered from this White House and maybe other white houses but I will tell you this too as well, you know in that room that i've been sitting in for 20 years and to see it recently you just wonder about some of the people that are coming in the room now are they really journalists or are they spectators posing as journalists? She has all kinds she had all kinds of issues Now, again we heard two things in there. One is she said this is not about me and remember what she's asking about was the image revamping the image like yeah I don't know it's very important question. I have no agenda! I like that I'd like that she has no agenda will keep that in there now CNN went back to The Well remember it's not about April Ryan It's not about her Not About Her but until Hillary Clinton gets involved in it then whoa it's about me

1:00:02 April Ryan, a respected journalist with unrivaled integrity was doing her job just this afternoon in the White House press room when she was patronized and cut off trying to ask a question. Oh imagine that happening! Imagine that! Patronized and cut off trying to ask a question one of your own California Congresswomen Maxine Waters was taunted with a racist joke about her hair. Now, too many women... especially women of- Well hold on just wait I have the clip no NO! I'm in charge of the block i have the clip Just go with the flow okay well one of your own california congresswomen maxine waters

1:01:00 was taunted with a racist joke about- If you can wait for a second, I have the clip after we're done with this. Jeez! I have the clip of her not being taunted Do you want to say it again? Yeah. Was taunted with a racist joke about her hair Now too many women especially women of color have had a lifetime of practice taking precisely these kinds of indignities in stride. Remember, it's not about her But why should we have to? And any woman who thinks this couldn't be directed at her is living in a dream world Wait for it! and were back...to the campaign It seems like but I mean seriously No wasn't the campaign Those-I know but seriously those are very strong words What did you think of the Secretary's comments

1:02:01 I was surprised. I arrived home and was with my daughters, and someone said did you see Hillary Clinton? And I was like no! And I saw it and couldn't believe it. It's all about me! I'm shocked! But I did go on Twitter and I said preach. Preach! It's all about me. It's all about her She's just sitting there, just bleh! It's all about me. Blehh! And now let us listen to the racist comment about her hair that black women have had to deal with for decades. Racist! from Bill O'Reilly. Maxine Waters, I love her she says... Why do you love her? Maxine Waters should have her own sitcom absolutely okay all right it's just i just you know people get angry with Maxine Waters I want more of it! Okay I'm so glad you asked listen we have suffered discrimination with this we've suffered isolation and undermining but we stand up

1:03:03 for America, oftentimes when others who think they are more patriotic, who say they're more patriotic do not. When we fight against this president and we point out how dangerous he is for this society and for this country, we're fighting for the democracy We're fighting for America. We're saying to those who say they are patriotic, but they turn a blind eye to the destruction that he's about to cause." I like this so much because we would have taken this clip otherwise and we would have made fun of it but now its Bill O'Reilly doing in a way that is anything but what he's being accused of. "...this country you are not nearly as patriotic as we are

1:03:45 So what does that mean Bill we've been listening all morning. We cannot I didn't hear a word She said I was looking at the James Brown wig If we have a picture of James, it's the same one right? You can go after woman's looks I think she's very attractive. I didn't say she wasn't attractive I love James Brown but it's the same hair James Brown are the godfather is soul and So he had girl hair. Whatever it is, I just couldn't get by it. You're all wrong about Maxine Waters number one She's a sincere individual whatever she says she believes. She's not a phony alright? That's right and that's old school Alright there it is

1:04:29 Yeah, that's taunting her. Yeah no that's racist it's racist! Racist is what it is you heard it it's completely racist I want you to be queen my love for you is almost obscene I really hope you know what i mean Maxine, Maxine, Maxine Now the interesting thing is what really happened Is he made a joke about her hair saying it looks like James Brown Um have you heard any other hair jokes in the past two years? Orange hair jokes

1:05:09 Yeah, but that wasn't racist. No this wasn't racist either See I don't say...I've given up on the racist thing and i'll tell you why Why? And I think you have to Oh Because uh when we have a couple of sites out there that quote the show yeah and they always use racists it makes It makes us look like a racist No, it's just worse than that. It either looks like they're misspelling it or you're actually saying it and don't know what the word is... It's not the same as using a nickname on somebody And these sites get a lot of traffic? Those sites- I don't know how much traffic they get but that is You are more interested in their success then ours Yes! That's exactly it But you can use all you want I think the joke doesn't work Alright we'll just say racist

1:06:02 Well, but I'm just saying the double standard and you're gonna hear a lot of that today. It began with the lie that they said right at the beginning of that segment that you brought in where CNN says they called you an idiot Yeah And there's no evidence of that and then this whole thing that all you did was prove he actually kind of likes Maxine Waters There is no racism involved Now this is part of it I think a bigger scheme They are trying to completely marginalize Maxine Fox Fox Oh Fox. Yeah, of course we brought out they brought out the old wizened old man and the old white guy Coppell Yes So now couple and I've got two clips from Koppel accusing fox news of being ruining the world of journalism completely

1:06:57 First he does it to Hannity and then I found an older version, another version of doing it to O'Reilly. The Hannity one got a lot of play on Twitter. Yeah. I think couple the things you're going to see here. One, Koppel's looking for work. He retired almost 10 years ago. I think he ran out of money. It's either that or reverse mortgage. He's gotta choose. One of the two, but I think he ran out of money. So he's on that He's making his rounds if you have it, you've noticed him. He's here is there Yeah, he's got a very deep and dead couple. Yes. He's serious voice Well Dan Rather used to be our guy but Dan rather is tainted You know, he's no good and Coppola has a family is without

1:07:38 Alt and he's got the very pensive slow talk that yeah, he's doing. He's doing the thing of course So let's listen to him on Hannity I'm playing but I'm not hearing anything Oh something there the files we have to give credit to the American people you had I'm sorry fan of white space five five seconds of white space We have to give some credit to the American people that they're somewhat Intelligent and that they know the difference between an opinion show in a news show. Yeah, you know just cynical look at it Yeah, I'm cynical because uh, do you think we're bad for America? You think I'm bad for America? Yeah In the long haul I thank you and all

1:08:17 these opinions. That's sad, Ted! No you know why? Because you're very good at what you do and because you have attracted a significantly more influential... You are selling the American people short. Let me finish the sentence before I do that. With all due respect. Yes. Take it away. You have attracted people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts I mean come on Wow You think I'm bad for America? Yeah In the long run. Yeah, you're bad. You just bad yo Ted Koppel going gangster

1:09:02 So this went all over the place. Of course, I saw it. Oh and everyone's all hand-wringing because Ted Koppel who is without flaw Yeah of course Has said this and again i think he's just looking for work And he's being kind of interesting by making these accusations But before that there was like a one or two Here he is with O'Reilly telling O'Reilly that he has ruined journalism George is not from Washington so let us assess Donald Trump I've interviewed him a number of times. Not an easy interview? How would you do it?" You know something, Bill? You and I have talked about this general subject many times over the years It's irrelevant how i would do it And who made it irrelevant? YOU did!

1:09:46 You have changed the television landscape over the past 20 years. You took it from being objective and dull to being subjective and entertaining, And in this current climate it doesn't matter what the interviewer asks him Mr Trump is going to say whatever he wants to say as outrageous as it may be Okay but you know your old network ABC does interview mr trump on a regular basis Our job, whether I'm a commentator or reporter is to get as much information number one and two show the viewer who the person really is. So again, I'll go back to he's sitting on nightline you're opposed right opposite him how do you do it?

1:10:29 Well, the first way you do it is not in the interview. You do it by some reporting that's an old-fashioned concept but I think demonstrating who and what Mr Trump is and what his various policies really amount to Is something you don't do in an interview He doesn't answer the question As you pointed out It's a whole different ballgame on cable TV Commentators like me have just ruined the country I copped to that That's true Right, right I've ruined everything Yeah, I think you're right. This clearly is... Fox News is too powerful they don't like it the system the machine does not like it although

1:11:05 There's still a head fake here because that place is run by Democrats. I don't care what anyone says, it's run by Democrats." I know and i think head fakes the right word! It's as if you guys are really on our team but you're getting carried away or full of yourself and ruining what we're trying to do here. We're going to take you down a peg. That's right And that's what they're doing. We're gonna see more of that This was a classic, where he said I'm ruining the country. Yes you are! He says You are, you're ruining the country. Hannity's ruining the country O'Reilly is ruining the country Limbo is kind of hard to get too so I don't know how they gonna go over there But this is just all part of a giant scheme it's astonishing

1:11:49 And executed so well. And then on 60 Minutes, you probably saw this and we have our little guys coming in and calling us Trump lovers. Oh yeah now this is a Twitter thing it's obvious that people are coming in because the podcast, podcasts are stupid people they're idiots CBS took fake news to a whole new level Mike Cernovich who...this guy everyone was like Mike Cernovich he's some important guy Hold on a second I know just what you're gonna say, but let me just before you say it. Say...I'm totally with you! Who is that? I've never heard of this guy until two weeks ago and now he's all over the place He's got a Twitter feed. Oh service service service. It's like whaaat?! Yeah and the guy really is nothing You know step above a blogger really. I don't understand

1:12:42 But anyway, somehow he's hero of dimension A all of a sudden. Because wow! He really butt-slammed 60 minutes didn't he? What I thought was more important is the story itself... There's a couple of stories here and the response was good well i'll just play it for you because it does tie into all of this um Of course fake news invented by Trump, it was invented by the news media. They invented the term. And Obama. Exactly they invented it and now is being used against them so I guess what you need to do is keep showing people examples of what fake news is

1:13:26 And this guy is an obvious stooge for my money because all of a sudden he's Mike Cernovich. You know, it was like no no no no... This guy didn't propel the fame just out of the blue Somethings going on I don't like it and uh.. He's being used or abused but more than likely he's a willing participant in showing how crazy fake news really is. Do you believe its true today? Oh absolutely! That story was sourced to anesthesiologist who never met Clinton It got so much traction it had to be denied by Clinton's doctor and the National Parkinson Foundation. She had a seizure and froze up walking into her motorcade Well, she had pneumonia How do you know? Who told you that? Well the campaign told us that Why would you trust the campaign The point is... You didn't talk to anybody who ever examined Hillary Clinton I don't take anything Hillary Clinton is going to say

1:14:23 At all. It's true, I'm not gonna take her on a word The media says we're not going to take Donald Trump on his word and that's why we are in these different universes Cernovich's website is just one of hundreds publishing nonsense on the right and on the left Nonsense? I tell you this deserves two jingles Hey hey hey! You read that? Fake news Where did this alternate universe story come from Game from the alternate universe. That's right there once again, I'm looking at his wiki page which is very very light It's very say shallow as thin thing one thing he's got a blog Danger and play apparently had something to do with Gamergate yeah

1:15:11 Oh, that's what that's why people yeah. He was exposing Gamergate Okay That is why he's hero of the morons I get it okay heroes comic book heroes got it And it's like you married let me read this he married his first wife as a law student 2003 Cernovich stated As first marriage was ruined by feminist indoctrination His wife became an attorney in Silicon Valley and earned millions of dollars in stock from an IPO. She filed for divorce in 2011, and Cernovich received over $999,000 in a divorce settlement." Well I don't know why he bothers working. Cernovich states that she was falsely accused of raping a woman in 2003 according to the New Yorker magazine. The charges later dropped but the judge ordered him to do community services misdemeanor battery and his record has since been expunged

1:15:56 He lives outside of LA. He's got an agent, he has a publicist that's how we got this gig on 60 Minutes I don't know who she is and i'm thinking it's a she could be a guy because just as many in Hollywood men and women are pretty well kind of even on both sides there yeah but that's what it is and actually just stunned by the disguise rise to uh public notoriety just overnight boom! Well I think it's not the last we've heard of him they'll have more to say I'm sure And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C where the c stands for not the end of the word racist. Dvorak

1:16:36 In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning to all ships that see boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water although with dames and knights out there and everyone in between. In the morning everybody in the chat room noagendastream.com good to have y'all there feeding us good info as usual fact you are our truly our fact base we appreciate that And in the morning to Comicstripblogger who brought us the artwork for episode 9 or 1 5 One Belt One Road it was a good one The classic nurse photo, Obamacare forever. It was nice. Yeah it's a repurposed picture from the poster. But that is the kind of stuff that works well. That is true parody falls under fair use very good

1:17:16 Yeah, very happy. Noahjenderartgenerator.com where you can upload all of your artwork We choose it right after the show and we appreciate all the work that everybody does For the program and we'd like to thank our executive producers and associate executive producers today Well, he got a huge donation from Ox O-Ox Anonymous of Dogpatch about $1,091.11 Hello! Hello? And he will be knighted today And he sent a note in, and he's really anonymous. He sends his check has no name or address on it. It clears his mail comes in from kind of you can't figure out where the country is or anything

1:18:00 He sends a letter in that's typed with no name or nothing. So he doesn't wanna be, whoever he is and wherever he's from will thank him for the $1,091.11. In a recent episode he writes you missed an opportunity to build your value for value, it is very critical too remember this guy's notes. You discuss important contribution by the many individuals that provide technical support for this show but then you forgot their names! So I'm guessing... He's a dude named. He's the techie he's a techie wait when did whose names that we forget? We're always thanking our technological people yes, we are actually well I don't know it's zero at the top of the list. I don't know what we got wrong You sound like April Ryan My aunt Gigi used to do that we call the aunt Gigi sigh here it comes ready oh Just have an apple in my room

1:18:57 That's what my Aunt Gigi used to say. Yeah, Aunt Gigi. He says there are great titles available in the technical world this year's Academy Award technical certificates include names like image shaker air cover inflatables Airwall magic geometry tracker. We already see this guy's in the business of some sort tweak software and use it Rhythm and he was value for value if not titles awards give him awards, okay? We actually are thinking we have discussed awards haven't we have discussed to know agenda Awards yeah for art and and other things. And jingles, yeah we're gonna do it! We're doing it man! Okay similarly if donations are short of your target aren't you also producers and deserve identifying you are doing this at your expense? We should mention that we're doing this at our expense

1:19:49 Are we listeners, when we listeners hear associate producer or worse executive producer pool boy productions are Sir Sir pull boys. It would make a point that donations are short I don't know this is just rambling i'd like to believe we listeners are smart and understand this without deconstruction okay finally catch words like fake news A good catch word can obscure analysis for 50 years quote unquote it's quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes by the way I think he's right A good catchword can obscure analysis for 50 years, which is what the media does. During an Americanstown meeting he said this in a... Yes such as comprehensive immigration reform that's like that's a catchphrase that means absolutely nothing No agenda addresses catchwords That's why I listen Well thank you Well good We do do that we actually said something good finally at the end Good Does he want any kind of

1:20:50 Do you know he never asked for any karma or anything so we're gonna give him karma You've got karma. One on the house, Sir James in Wiley Texas 3333 three. It's been a while since I hit on my end of the value deal. My apologies is truly the best show in the multiverse so keep it coming. My mother goes under the knife on Thursday for a lumpectomy some F cancer karma for her recovery would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very courage absolutely then thank your mom for her courage. You've got karma Sir Mark our buddy the Duke of Japan. Hey, yeah was a good 3333 there John and Anna was waiting to for a lowland donation So I could prop up your coffers when you needed it most what can I say this show keeps getting better and better? Just like a fine wine Wow, that's a compliment

1:21:52 And talking about fine wines, it was Dame Astrid's birthday on the 22nd of March. So this is a make good birthday greeting to her. Was she ever on our list? I don't think so! Is she on this list? Yes, definitely on this list of course. We do not keep a master calendar No, we don't. Although you think Eric could do that for our night? Eric was doing it for a while but it became kind of I think it's cumbersome and then you run in and I understand this You run into the problem of its... you get there.. you missed my birthday! Well, we get that anyway Yeah but but it's not the same as your fault It is sometimes our fault But it's not....I think it reminds me when I used to have an answering machine

1:22:37 And then all of a sudden out of the blue. With cassette tape or microcassette tape? I'm talking about back in the day when there were real answering machines with the tape. Little mini cassettes. You put this silly message on it, you know somebody, or see if a friend do it for us. So I took the machine out completely and for, I think decades that was known for a guy with no answering machine. Because what I discovered is that if you travel a lot and you get like 1,000 messages when you get back and you just don't go through them or you try to go through me can manage it It's easier to say have no machine than getting having to deal with...I called and left the message that blah blah blah and you never responded And so i said okay I won't deal with it I just got rid of the machine

1:23:23 Anyway, so back to this Wow Time warp what time warp a time warp we had a surprise party for Dame Astrid and I made a no agenda card for the no agenda sterling ring And I gave her it as a present keep up the great work and keep making our days big bright beautiful and fake free free free I Really know those two people they have they are so wonderful.

Damadoran I'm thinking Sounds like an Armenian name, but 200 bucks is the amount of money. I've been a subscriber since my first time listening to your show a few months ago. I signed up for the Dame Layaway Plan and I agree with much what you guys are thinking. Wanted to comment on your last show regarding the issues with China and the Chinese people as a Hong Kong resident for the last 20 years before that born and raised in London of Indian descent so this is what you call multiculturalism? Very multicultural. I bet she's beautiful! Oh probably

1:30:56 I know a little about this area. Adam, you said that you think the Chinese want to take over the world? I have to disagree! I don't think they want...they want to in the same way Western globalists do The Chinese government keeps a pretty tight lid on things in their own country. That's certainly true, it is quite a lot of people there and they have managed to keep a reasonable handle on social order while at the same time lifting millions of people out of poverty and also building an unbelievable amount of infrastructure not all of it cheap Chinese crap They're getting better and better every day I agree with that The government is enabling people to work and earn money enough to have a decent, quite enjoyable life. It's not a bad existence and believe it or not, a lot of people are quite happy with their lot if they're taking over through trading in sense that seems to be the best and most profitable way for humans to interact there's no big bad thing Chinese people love doing business this is cultural

1:31:49 They much prefer to bombing people and taking their stuff. That's what we do our way our culture It's so much easier Anyway doing business around the world they don't try to make you watch over-the-top Chinese propaganda movies eat unhealthy Chinese food Listen to crash Chinese mute, but I have to read now everyone should take careful attention to this while doing business around the world I'm sorry, it's a long... Doing business around the world they do not try to make you watch over-the-top Chinese propaganda movies. Hello Hollywood! Eat unhealthy Chinese food? Hello McDonalds! Listen to crass Chinese music? Hello anything or emulate mindless Chinese culture? Hello Hollywood

1:32:40 They just want to do business, buy and sell. No one is forcing the Itaels or Aussies to trade with them like... I don't know what the ite- Well this is thing in Australia they're buying up all the houses and people are saying oh they're buying up all the houses! No what's happening is you're selling your houses there's no pride There's no I have a clip. No geez about China Chinese and real estate later in the show which will explain this right looking forward to it nice This, I don't know she's on the list can you get a shout out for my 45th birthday? Which is March 29th yes She's on the list I got her and can I get two shots to the head then something happy so I can die with A smile on my face like I've always wanted by the way something happy Don't have anything happy on this show

1:33:31 What are you talking about? By the way, if you uh I say resist we much is quite happy. By the way if you ever do want some dulcet and very informed tones on the show as I heard you recently say I would be more than happy to oblige and often been complimented on my dulcetness. Oh okay let's see what I got here come up with Happy Birthday! You've got karma. I was happy, I played something happy didn't i? Oh yeah! Nailed it. Dynamite. That concludes our list of executive producers and associate executive producers for show 916 Alright then thank you to big thanks to our executive producers and associate executive producers And also thank everyone else coming up later on above $50 or more This is the way the value for value proposition works We do not take any money from any corporate anything Just from you

1:34:27 It is highly appreciated and these of course are real credits just like Hollywood which is why we put them at the beginning of the show. And another program coming up this Sunday, please remember us at... Yeah I know were still in the middle of March Madness but you can go out there and propagate the formula! Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Shut Up! Is that a trick call? Shut Up!

1:35:06 I mentioned earlier that, you know, podcasts of course. There's been a lot of podcast articles recently... The Year Of The Podcast! Yeah that's my pronoun. 2017? Huh? What is it? The Year Of The Podcast Oh yeah the year oh the year of the podcast yeah yeah what do you think i said yeah i thought i thought you said you're the podcast you are as in your you're the podcast no the year but here's the podcast yeah And of course Dave Winer and I get left out most of the time, of course. Oh you get no? No that's not true You get left out all the time. No there is one or two articles oh really thats surprises me Yeah it was really blog posts really not articles I've been into a newsletter podcasters newsletter and these guys its not even about podcasting is about repurposing shows from NPR NPR content I know yeah

1:35:58 So of course we really get no respect and one of your favorite shows, I don't know do you watch NCIS Los Angeles? Do you watch the Los Angeles version of the program. I watched both those shows. Did you hear that with NCIS which i think NCIS is the best structured show in terms of writing. I know, you love it on television. Well, just like it's masterful NCIS LA is my wife comments on she said It seems to me that all that's going on in Los Angeles to shootouts and explosions And which is funny because that's the way they make it and there their only show They also do some time travel thing because somehow they can get from Malibu to Van Nuys in two seconds Two minutes will be there in two minutes

1:36:42 I got to remind me to tell you the news about Malibu. Okay, here's NCIS Los Angeles. I know if you saw the show yet talking about podcasters. I heard in the podcast Anna was listening too. You know? Learning something new from experts never bad thing. Okay see You said experts. They're in lots of rubble, there are no experts on these podcasts No degrees or qualifications are needed all you have to have is a computer A microphone and some very strong opinions I'm sure they do their research before each podcast No research How do you know? Because every sentence begins with...you know i read somewhere that

1:37:22 I had this clip and lost it, and this actually goes on longer. And unfortunately that version of the clip was taken off the speakers. Yeah it sounded like crap, I agree. So it sounds like crap but yes it was extremely funny. I'm guessing one of the writers is a podcaster or there's one of his friends is so obviously It's out of place, it's put in there as a gag and it's funny. Yes I want to play a couple of social justice warrior Black Lives Matter LGBTQQIAAP clips and then we have a thing I'd like to discuss with you

1:38:04 Is that okay? Or do you want to hit something hard. No, let's go! Okay it'll start with Blossom You remember Blossom Mayim Bialik Blossom Yeah and you know the funny thing she is the girlfriend in uh that show Big Bang Theory The big bang theory and she looks nothing like the other woman is funny a little bit Well not and I watched that Big Bang. I don't watch it regularly, but when I see it I saw her on it I never knew that she was the same girl until somebody mentioned it Oh well She is so she if she just had to do a video. I'm sorry guys. I had to do this video

1:38:41 And I'm not going to play the whole thing. It's really about the beginning, but i'll just let it roll for a little bit He has a problem with and this goes back to sweaty Sean Spicer This goes back to microaggressions this goes back to pronouns. This goes back to gender Assumption here we go. I'm gonna be annoying right now Okay there you that was the whole clip I love people who set it up like that. I'm gonna be annoying right now because I want to talk about something that a lot of people don't wanna talk about. I was recently at a bar with two guy friends who are about 40 and one of them said to the other, oh my god dude look at that girl sitting at the bar she's beautiful and i start looking around wondering why they would let a child into the bar then I realized when he said girl he meant woman but since shes in that super

1:39:28 narrow age range between five years old and 55 years old. We just don't know what to call her, so we call her a girl. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. A girl sorry folks I have to do this. We have to stop calling women girls OK now you understand what she's going on there but when I heard her open this thing she had to be annoying about and do She says, guy friends. Guy according to Merriam-Webster synonymous with dude Two guy friends and then she... ageist about 40 older than her I presume And then she mocks their voice Look at that high girl! You really pretty girl over there Well fuck you my umbiolic blossom Come on That's a double standard And it's microaggression It's huge microagression

1:40:23 It really... I'm sure, does she ever have a boy friend? Really really dumb. Just dumb! Yeah boyfriend. Yay that's right i'm gonna tell Tina the Keeper calling me you need to call me your man friend yes your man you're not a boy and i'm going to call her my woman friend there you go and yes i assume her gender i'm sorry person-friend we should just do person-friend person-friend What are we thinking? Yeah, person friend. Person friend okay well let's talk about this for a moment actually I'm going to interrupt you go like this yeah Mimi I was just having lunch with my person friend what what's her name red alert red alert danger Will Robinson

1:41:16 So in my ongoing conversations with multiple Millennials who are in my life the topic of gender and gender assumption comes up a lot. And I feel that as two old guys, let's face it we're old guys were over a hill...I do not want to be my parents What's that six pistols crap? I really don't want to be that. I listen to the newest music Yeah, I'm sure green day. I know I know it's green day. Yeah, those boys are good. I'm sorry men Let's get that straight. And so what I'm... By the way, stop a second just since you mentioned it leading the witness. So Green Day is on some show, I forgot where it was. Yeah they went F Donald Trump and I saw that. No no no they didn't do any of that but which seems to me the band is like one two three four five six seven guys six seven guys The Green Day used to be a power trio Oh good point

1:42:17 Hmm, maybe you're thinking very disappointed in this band getting to that many members. Maybe they're thinking boys two men Boys the man I never liked boys two men. I just don't like acapella singing Backstreet Boyz? Backstreet Boyz was that what your thinking of yeah Yeah, that's exactly go back here. I Don't want discount this gender thing And and I learned something really interesting to me at least was very interesting Let me see here we go So, doing the rounds as a general talking point is this one Tumblr post and I'll just read it to you. And the first time I read it was like what the hell is this? Then I thought about for hours really yesterday We live in dystopia where all are assigned one of two chosen genders at birth thanks to ultra- oops

1:43:18 Thanks to ultrasounds, the genders can be assigned before birth. The people are so excited to conform they throw gender reveal parties to make sure their offspring exists in a strict binary since before they can even form thoughts. Children are color-coded according to their binary assignment. One of the genders is seen as inherently inferior This all sounds really effing creepy when you put it that way, because it is. And if you deviate from the assigned gender... ...you can be disowned by your family fired from your job and beaten by authorities." And then there's of course this large group is a very big post All agrees with this general hypothesis Now what I'm feeling what am I think is happening and I want to talk about the word gender specifically

1:44:09 I'm thinking that the kids want their own identity. They can't have identity in music anymore because you know, you can't...the idea of creating a band and talking political crap and then going on actually making money and doing it full-time is no longer possible. It's... Yeah but that's a minor segment of the population. Then kids would listen to certain groups and bands, you know. That was your cultural experience and how you'd rebel against your parents. There is no way... there's no rebelling everything is Facebag it's Instagram You can do a little bit with your pictures in your icon so their ultimate rebellion

1:44:53 to create this agnostic place where they can determine how they want to be addressed, be what they want. It's really being who you want to be and instead of going out there and being who they want to be This has in my mind I could be entirely wrong has transformed into...I want to look a certain way? I don't want to be assumed as it's just rebellion. And it's really illogical. It's really illogical And that's where, you know... Hey don't call me man boy woman girl. Call me Z or KZ with XE That's what this is about this rebellion and the word gender I we've never looked this up and i was blown away by Let just get the Merriam-Webster that's what we like right? Merriam Webster yeah okay Okay definition of gender it's a very interesting job

1:45:50 a subclass within a grammatical class as noun, pronoun, adjective or verb of a language that is partly arbitrary but also partly based on distinguishable characteristics such as shape social rank manner of existence or sex and that determines agreement with and selection of other words for grammatical forms So, gender according to the definition the way I read it can indeed be used outside of male-female. Man woman you could really make it anything if at least there are some distinguishable characteristics which... Well words have genders Yes! Of course words have genders

1:46:39 But so it is, I think it's legal. It's linguistically legal to say this gender although Z means nothing. It doesn't conform, it doesn't identify with any other characteristics. And who dreamed it up? Well yeah but if they said I want to be known as agno you know as in agnostic that would be okay! If you look agnostic or if you look... what's the word I'm looking for Atheist. No, no no we don't look like a man or woman you are... Weird looking.

1:47:16 Pat. Yes, you're a pat. Exactly like Robert Palmer's chat room was not very helpful neutered androgynous that's what it is. Androgynous wonder! Androgynous. Ah yes that's the word so the problem is Well, there's two problems. One I don't care what you want to be and I may forget what your pronoun is unless you make it easier for me to remember like... A big badge! Like Andro, you know? If we're androgynous, I'm Andro You know make it easy for me to remember and if I forget Don't kill me like the student from Berkeley just did in your neck of the woods killed a teacher For using the wrong pre-net pronoun

1:48:07 Do you hear this story? Big button. No, I don't know this story and it's local that's funny you think it would be all over the news you think it would be leading the news at least wasn't leading the local news when did this happen Pablo Gomez jr was a University of California Berkeley senior majoring in Latino studies prominent campus activist uh a lot of these types of organizations of the right pronoun organization um He stabbed to death a popular school teacher. The crime that the police described as very brutal and unusual in a city reported just two homicides last year was sucked up into the debate over gender identity when it was reported that Gomez preferred to be called they rather than he, and so... And he was also on a psych watch list, you know? So if he got triggered and flipped out

1:48:55 So, so it's you know discussing this is not a crazy thing. I'm okay with language changing the word gay used to mean something very different. I'm totally happy yes i'm totally okay with that but we have to come up according to the rules the way I read the rules pronouns are okay but they have to be somewhat descriptive of what we're talking about so let's come up with some descriptive ones and secondly if I can and this is maybe more important to me If I can identify as a woman, or I'll... I identify as a girl. Or a woman? Can I- am I then eligible for small business administration loans that are meant for women businesses?" Now you're talking! And there are a lot of examples that way. Ellen! Or is it so nutty that you would have to say well yes that's only for women by sex meaning that women

1:49:53 are inferior to men because of their sex, because that's the only identifier and need extra help which by itself is misogynist. Because of course women don't need extra help we're exactly the same I thought... Men and women same equal? One can lift heavier weights Well not all No not all thats for sure there plenty of women who could outlift both us combined Yes exactly So you know i want to be on board with, uh... I want to be on board with the pronouns but we need to have better pronouns. Is that the point of this whole little discussion starting with the blossom clip? No i diverted away from the clips because we were talking about pronouns that's why got into the pronouns it's not well is not the point- You wanna know what I think as you said there was going to be a discussion cuz you said that earlier I think its bullshit

1:50:57 I don't give a shit if somebody likes to be called Z. That's the end for me, i don't know what the guy wants to be called or girl or guy or girl woman or man boy or whatever z no forget it i'm not calling anybody z okay? It's an imposition! It's a microaggression against ME! Yes, well I said that... It puts me out of my way! I am now required to do stuff that I should would never have to do in a normal world I'm not going for it. I don't want to be pushed around by Z. I agree! I'll tell you what, you guys out there or women whatever Z is go pass some laws and then i'll go along with it because I'm a rule follower okay good luck yeah and that's my opinion well that was my this is what happens when you get older you just start stop putting up with bullcrap this is bull crap yeah

1:51:57 Well, yes. But if they if I think if they come up with a descriptive pronouns then it will be okay. You can take whatever you want. I don't care. Okay! Alright, well let's uh... Dan let us for a moment go into the United Airlines legging scandal. This morning United- Please I love this story! I love this story and i'll tell you why I love this story because it proved to me how few people actually read beyond the headline The face bag was blowing up yo I can't believe misogynists hate against women. They're just girls, like in baby... This morning United Airlines is dealing with a different kind of turbulence after two girls had to change clothes before boarding a flight from Denver to Minneapolis Sunday We heard the gate agent say you know these aren't my rules i just enforce them

1:52:51 And that was when they looked very panicked. Outraged fellow passenger and activist Shannon Watts took to Twitter. You know who she is, don't you? Shannon Watts this is why the story blew up She's the mom the million moms against guns woman Oh, I didn't know that. Total shill... Yeah she got Soros money and all this so she's oh there's Shannon Watts all of a sudden haven't heard from her in a bit haven't had any shootings. Watts took to Twitter writing a United Gate agent isn't letting girls in leggings get on flight since we're all united police. Girls? I thought it was about women! No they were girls no they were girls those were girls how old were they they were I think 12 or 13

1:53:28 Young women since when does United police women's clothing to me? It seems like a pretty sexist policy United says the family was flying under its pass rider program where employee relatives and friends can fly for free or at heavily discounted prices The airline tells ABC News when taking advantage of this benefit all employees in past riders are considered representatives of united I want to just interject for one moment When I was 20, maybe 19 or 20 a friend of mine worked for KLM and he got me one of these passes which you fly for. I think KLM is 5% of the ticket price or something fantastic later turned out He was gay and wanted to have gay sex with me Which is not so cool but yeah little did I know like oh take the free pass Boy that just came out that was quite a trauma now if I think about it But I had to wear a tie!

1:54:25 Oh, that's interesting. Could you not? Well you said no that is the same today. That has not changed across the board if your United Airlines employee male of course it's extremely F men you gotta wear a tie So, it's just the rule. They're very strict with that and quite honestly if you're getting a ticket for 5% of the cost or free shut up and just do it already! Shut up and do it already now what's really interesting is I agree with that by the way yeah as this clip progresses we're gonna listen to the end and again we're going to see this incredible double standard The passengers this morning were United Pass riders and not in compliance with our dress code for company benefit travel

1:55:07 With these buddy passes, there was very specific language about what is appropriate and what is inappropriate. The airline is saying if you're going to fly for free for us you are going to meet certain standards of dress. But many turned to social media disappointed in how United handled the situation some even pointed to the Airlines post from last June showing a woman wearing leggings at the airport for International Yoga Day. Celebs are weighing in too. Chrissy Teigen writes, I have flown United before with literally no pants on just to top as address and Patricia Arquette had a back-and-forth with the carrier at one point replying leggings are business attire for 10 year olds their business is being children

1:55:51 The End United says the family was still able to travel on the next flight using their passes and reassures its regular customers that leggings are welcome. Okay, so I'm going to stop it here for a second So a couple things in this. First of all, I don't... Again people only go by the headline and the outrage and the triggering of, oh it's misogynist, it's sexist, it's horrible. They might as well just say United Trump Airlines that would have been the perfect tweet because it makes nothing but sense. And they flew after all they just had to change their leggings now listen to the double standard coming up in the little conversation the studio is gonna have about this. This is I think it's Good Morning America

1:56:32 It blew me away. And many women are now responding with the hashtag stop shaming girls but one man tweeting with the company took a different approach saying it's not going to be pretty but he plans to wear leggings on his next United flight so they didn't just start a new trend So you just laughed basically said men look stupid in leggings and you laughed at the guy who was gonna do that even though he's in on your joke Let's hope that's not a trend because EGADS, men in leggings. Uh let me tell you 90% of the women I see in leggings I usually say to myself Self? Why is this person wearing leggings This person looks grotesque in leggings You know what I'm saying John Yeah yeah absolutely So the double standard of to say all men look like crap in legging but women look great in leggins

1:57:33 is beyond me and it was just laughing it up. They don't even see the double standard, they don't even see it! Or the microaggression It's almost a macro Yeah, the macroaggression Just raw aggression And man-hate Yes Speaking of man hate A new picture book is coming out from Harper Design The book is titled Santa's Husband and it goes on sale October 10th, and tells the story of a black Santa Claus and his white husband who both live in the North Pole. Santa's spouse frequently fills in for his husband at malls according to description of the book provided to Time Magazine." This is great! The cover is like a black dude and a white dude...Santa In loving embrace. Fantastic. Two Santas! It's fantastic.

1:58:29 And then finally Rachel Dolezal is back. Remember Rachel Dolezal? Oh yeah, she's now... Yeah I saw a picture of her she's like i don't know what she's doing but if she's you know I mean she's the white woman who pretended to be a black woman so she could get in well while she was working at it She headed up the NCAA... The NAACP Natural Association I can kind of keep sight on this N-C-A-A-N-Double A-C-P N-double A-C-P Yes. Well, she's a Vice News founder luckily because of course she has a book coming out so I think her publicist found Vice News but Vice News founder... She's broke but she starting to her book tour so she does have some kind of advance I guess Interesting they sent a black reporter in this case i would actually have to say an African-American reporter to be correct

1:59:18 And I wanted to share an edit of this interview so we can get a little feeling on, you know just a little update on her and how she's feeling about whiteness and white people etc. Since the controversy, Rachel Dolezal has been spending her time at home in Spokane Washington trying to rebuild her life. Now she's hoping to tell her side of the story through a new book What's the point of the book would you say? I really wanted to kind of set the record straight You know subtle things about that have been misconstrued about my life and document my personal journey And how things fit together for my sons and I know you're aware of this but there's a lot of black people who feel like

1:59:58 What you're doing is selfish. I mean, it's almost like if you got voted off the island Shouldn't you just go? Did I get voted off an island? You tell me. It's kind of a manufactured frenzy and controversy that got stirred up in 2015, right by white media the white parents the white police you know like those are the people that instigated that controversy Oh no! I think you instigated just by being a liar So basically your saying this is basically black people being mad at you is a white conspiracy Based off of

2:00:35 a white narrative about me. Rachel Dolezal is also hoping that her memoir, In Full Color will start a conversation about how we think about race in America. Conversation You know what is whiteness or blackness? Or you know what does it mean to fall between? Or in what ways are we who we are I'm not part of that owning, praising living whiteness like that's just not That's not me. Well being I mean being able to distance yourself from that is Is kind of a privilege right? Being able to say you know what I don't want anything to do with the whiteness Distancing yourself from privileges privilege when the police show up. I can't say whoa whoa whoa Just so you know i'm not black

2:01:18 I'm actually white. I like this guy's point, that was pretty cool. It doesn't work that way. Part of me wonders... Like are people actually saying you have privilege and you've been privileged or are people more interested in just calling me white? Wow she's now saying black people are racist! People just are you know, not ready to progress and evolve and move forward on the issue of race. I think this woman's ahead of her times yes all she's doing all she's doing from today's perspective is self-identifying as black that's right That's all she is doing. So what is wrong with that in today environment? Nothing, it perfectly okay.

2:02:06 There's still a sense of like, a score needs to be settled. You know we still haven't had reparations We stil haven't had like this- Wuh oh! We still haven't had reparations? I'm glad the vice guy jumped in on this one. I'm sorry man. To be settled you know we still haven't had reparations and we still haven't had like this healing truth and reconciliation kind of stuff If we had reparations would you begin to check? Uh Oh No i don't actually identify as African American I identify as black Like, would somebody who moved here from Nigeria get a check? Yeah she says she doesn't identify as African American. What you should say is I cannot identify as African American but at the end it's almost over She does! If he identifies as African American and identifies black like would somebody who moved here from Nigeria get a check No There was a Pan-African diaspora so...I'm part of the pan We all go back to Africa we all have a black mother eventually Oh okay got it I'm part of the pan

2:03:00 The pan, I like it. Part of the pan at the end of the day we all have a black mother Oh god...I know It's great! This is great times were living in What do you want to identify as? Let's see.... I think i wanna self-identify as a member of the British upper class As an aristocrat Yes, I think so That would just befit me I can be broke and still be above you Did you hear me there? I'm sorry. Maybe your hard of hearing, but yeah, I could I didn't have a punchline I was gonna end up with good Brit you would had a boom he would have been right on me I would have been I would've been annihilated now kind of like the San Antonio Spurs Oh This is this is a sports thing just threw it in sorry sorry senton's all right Let's talk about North Korea for one moment two clips

2:04:06 Red dash alpha message in three parts John McCain. He did it he might not microaggression Body shaming this guy is unbelievable China is the one that can contain only one that can control Kim Jong-un This crazy fat kid that's running north Crazy fat kid the crazy fat kid who's running North Korea. I love that very funny John McCain But now in democracy now, I don't know if you had this clip at all. Hey, don't watch it anymore No, it's off the rotation well

2:04:45 Well, there was an interesting report about this missile defense. You know you and I have asserted that the only reason to ratchet up North Korea... And maybe John McCain calls the crazy fat kid and says hey light off a rocket! Light off a rocket we got some sales to do We gotta sell some stuff. We got some sales to do Sales It wouldn't surprise me it's so interesting David Singer had a piece in The New York Times last week about the Obama administration's secret cyber warfare program against North Korea because basically they concluded that missile defense system is truly ineffective and that you know even in the most pristine environmental or climactic conditions, 50% of the tests failed. And so I think it's truly a testament why if

2:05:40 You know, there is no demand coming from South Korea. They're not saying please give us this bad missile defense system In fact there's massive protests in Songju and Gimcheon where the two potential sites are And it's creating havoc for South Korea-China relations because China is obviously angered because they view the THAAD missile defense system there as a surveillance tool. It's not really there to block North Korean missiles. Plenty of experts have shown that it would be ineffective as a deterrence from North Korean missiles, so it is creating a very dangerous situation for the Korean Peninsula and I hope that there will be some possibility of creating— Will this woman ever stop talking?

2:06:25 Yeah, she's done now. I could have gone to the end... So is she asking a question or is she a commentator? This is how we miss things because when you get frustrated at the length of the boringness of someone and then you talk over it then neither of us hear the good stuff No no we don't miss- We've missed very little Very little The point of this clip is they're demonstrating. They don't want that, they don't wanna have problems with their neighbor and we are forcing it on them. Yeah, course sales just say... I think she made a good point. And I'll bet you Park... She made a good point just...I'm sorry she made a good point this doesn't even work we're selling him junk. Yeah its junk 50% of the time it doesn't work and I have a feeling that Park might've gotten rousted

2:07:10 Because maybe Park wasn't on board with these-with these systems. Eh, we don't feel like buying anything this week Oh really? We got some shit on you. We'll expose you...we'll see! We'll see. Sounds right. It sounds right Oh man. We got some junk, we got a bunch of crap we made, a bunch of surplus garbage with weird looking trucks. You seen those trucks?

Well I've got a uh..I did Prime Minister Question Time they had a pretty good round of these things yeah and I got one here that I could kind of turn into an Ask Adam and maybe you can answer me a question about this woman who stands up? They didn't write her name down but she's one of the PMs

2:18:38 I think she's a Tory. And she asked the question about Romania and I didn't know that this was going on, that the Brits have sent troops to Romania. Thank you Mr Speaker. Royal Air Force is preparing to fly typhoons from RAF Conningsby in my constituency to Romania to support our NATO allies on the border with Russia President Putin is locking up his political opponents and crushing calls for democracy. Will my right honourable friend confirm that the United Kingdom will continue to lead NATO in defending this vital border, and will she pay tribute to the armed forces who safeguard our democracy at home and abroad?

2:19:32 I'm very happy Mr Speaker to join my honourable friend in paying tribute to the men and women of our armed forces. They are the best in the world, and they work tirelessly to keep us safe and we owe them every gratitude for doing so I can also assure her that our commitment to collective defence and security through NATO is as strong as ever. We will meet our NATO pledge to spend 2% of GDP on defence every year this decade, and we plan to spend 178 billion on equipment planned 2025 And she has referred to the work that is being done by the Royal Air Force in relation to Romania. Of course, with NATO we're deploying a battalion to Estonia and reconnaissance squadron to Poland and I think that shows our very clear commitment to our collective security and defense. All right can you pull up a map of Romania tell me exactly what part of the country has a border even a small one with Russia?

2:20:34 This sounds like a trick question, but I will look up the map. Pull up the map just to make sure Romania well they have a connection tour to Moldova of course and Ukraine and then then They do of course have Think don't they have a port? They must know what port it's on the Black Sea Yeah So what was that got to do with a border? with Russia. Well, hold on... Where's the border with Russia? No big deal we got to protect the border from the Russian aggressors there is no border with Russia and she is a PM?! You are so right sir that's insane and it kind of glossed past me I'll admit yeah that's dumb. That's dumb! That's totally stupid well

2:21:34 The bottom line is NATO is building up forces all across this border. We got people everywhere, we've got materiel, all kinds of things being shipped in. We're building up, it's the Russia hate and I have some Russia hate clips Well, I have a Russia hate clip. Let's start with mine and you can wrap it up because i'll start with Russian interference part one is CBS backgrounder Okay sorry that wasn't quite fast enough okay CBS background We've known for some time that the Russians meddled in the US presidential election but today Oh yeah oh stop stop! I'm stopping

2:22:13 They've meddled, so now we know for a long time that they're Russian. We have again seen no proof of this and in fact the guys from that crappy thing with things flying across the screen or whatever company is it, the analysts who did who did the- Crowdstrike? Crowdstrike and those guys now are backing off. Yeah, they've changed their story a little bit haven't they? They've changed their stories. The FBI has never looked at the servers. They were never received any servers to look at so this whole story is pretty- Bogus. It's bogus. Sketchy. Well- Sketchy but let's make it a meme! It may be true but we just don't have any information. Yeah well lets make it a meme anyway because it serves our news purposes. Oops hold on something just happened here This is not my day

2:23:00 Yeah. What the hell just happened? My whole board went out, okay we're good. We've known for some time that the Russians meddled in the US presidential election No we haven't! But today- No we haven't no we've known that you told us that Today we got a chilling account of one of the tactics used The ranking democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee said Russia paid more than 1,000 hackers to create fake anti Clinton news The top Republican and Democrat on the senate panel Hold up stop it again Russia paid... wait, to create fake news you have to be a hacker? Yes. You can't just do it without skills I can't just go to a WordPress site and do it Not if you have to be leet! Do I have to be a hacker?! You're not leet! Then we'd go on Your point is well made To create fake anti- Actually roll back a little bit, I want to hear that again Hackers, yes Russia paid more than 1,000 hackers to create fake anti Clinton news

2:24:02 The top Republican and Democrat on the Senate panel spoke at a news conference today, and their unity was a sharp contrast to the feuding in the parallel investigation in the House. Here's Jeff Pageys. I always say this investigation scope will go wherever intelligence leads it Republican Chairman Richard Burr said the Senate committee is reviewing thousands of documents. Both Senator Burr and the top Democrat on the committee, Mark Warner made a public show of unity. And outside foreign actors... Stop! Hey you know when you say stop I'm there You don't have to keep saying it No yeah I said it earlier and he didn't Richard Burr is the guy if you recall I just want to point this out Isn't he an actor?

2:24:47 He's an actor. Oh, that's Raymond Burr I'm sorry That's Raymond Burr you're the wrong guy This is the guy who took over from Feinstein and refused to look at the report oh yeah this guy i am not looking At that report now this is they head And he won't even look at their own documents that they developed from that From that particular committee This guy Is a bad Guy Yeah, and They're all just covering up I just turned, you're right. If you want to know the definition if you'd like a good example of a narrative this is one that is exactly what this is Russia hacked we know it you know it and then you just expand from there whether it has been proven or not you just expand from there. He's reviewing thousands of documents both Senator Burr and the top Democrat on the committee Mark Warner made a public show of unity An outside foreign adversary

2:25:41 effectively sought to hijack our most critical democratic process, the election of a president. And in that process decided to favor one candidate over another." The senator stood in stark contrast to their counterparts in the House. The investigation there has been stalled by partisan bickering. The ranking Democrat Adam Schiff has called on Republican Chairman Devin Nunes to step aside accusing him of trying to shield the White House and distract from the investigation We will not take questions on the House Intelligence Committee. The Senate committee will examine whether the Trump campaign coordinated with the Russians who carried out a wave of cyber attacks during the election. It will also investigate whether thousands of internet trolls hired by the Russians manipulated the news cycle in swing states, spreading what Senator Warner called fake news about Hillary Clinton. Wait a minute now it's gone from hacking...

2:26:40 to creating fake news. That's very interesting, that's where that hacker thing comes from so hackers hack but they also create fake news sites this is great every hacker I've ever met is nothing more than a news junkie that can write stories that's right well we are in a whole new realm around cyber Senator Burr said the investigation will be fair and impartial have you personally coordinated with the White House at all no sir I have not and um It's the relationship and the trust we have. Scott, both senators say that part of the urgency in getting to the bottom of what happened here are concerns that U.S allies in Europe could be facing similar Russian meddling in their elections I'm gonna give you a borderline for this one John You deserve it

2:27:31 Well, the point of this story is to say that the Russians are now meddling in France. Yes. So if Le Pen wins it's because of the Russians and all whatever other elections are coming up further down the road it's the Russians' Russian's Russian. Because they're trying to destroy our way of life. That's right! And this clip... If you want to talk about taking something that happened and turning it into a true story and just really pile it on. And this is a bit of a callback to, this is warfare, this all out war. This is... These attacks are war, act of war! Now let's review we had the DNCC hacking, we had the DNC hacking but what we saw most of was emails from John Podesta's email which was not- He uses password as a password

2:28:31 And that somehow got to WikiLeaks, but that is... you know. That was a pure phishing cock-up on his part But okay let's just presume and who got burned by that? Who remember who got burned oh yes I remember Donna Brazile Donna Brazil appeared on Sirius XM channel 127 the progressive network my favorite Usually it's white gay guys who love Hillary and hate Trump In this case, it was a panel of women and Donna Brazile spoke and told us of the harrowing adventure she's had with Russia. We love to fight! We live for a fight if truth be told although we would rather not fight you but if we have to fight you we will fight you But in all my life and things I've fought...I never fought a Russian military intelligence unit

2:29:26 Do you see her with her cyber gear on fighting the Russian military intelligence unit? John, do you see her fighting it? She's on the beachhead. And anyone who has ever been involved in politics know that you go up against opponents sometimes. They're Democratic because you're a Democrat and it's a primary. Sometimes Republican because this is general election but how many of you have ever experienced cyber warfare, cyber espionage? How many of you understand what a disinformation campaign. How many of you understand that? What did she just say, how many of you understand what a disinformation campaign... That's the disinformation campaign right there because it's not a full sentence. She was caught red-handed! There is no disinformation involved. There is none. A disinformation campaign. How many understand that when emails are sent and they're out of context and you just have content how they can be weaponized to show... They were shown in context

2:30:22 Who is she kidding? The emails are weaponized, John. And you just have content how they can be weaponized to so discard. To so discard! Well I can tell you so much about cyber warfare the intended victim was not... said apparently she can't. About cyber warfare the intended victim was not uh the men and women who work at the democratic national committee, the intended victim was Hillary Clinton who is running for president of United States and the rest of us me included we're collateral damage and how do you come to understand what that means in the context of what we call a modern uh cyber warfare

2:31:04 Well, I have that experience now. And it's an experience that ... and that I hope to help others understand because- She's going to open up a cyber warfare defense consulting group in our wheelhouse here! It's just the modern warfare we all have to participate in. We all better get ready for it. Oh. And I'm grateful for those who stood by us and understood that there was warfare. I mean, for months. Warfare? You would've thought I was crazy. I mean, when I would call Mignon God bless her and she didn't hang up on me. And I had people who really thought that was going crazy! In fact Zerlina, I stopped going on TV because everybody started saying well how do you know they're Russian? You got fired off of tv because you took questions from CNN and gave it to the Clinton campaign but no, warfare Well how do you know they're Russian? Well goddammit I know the difference between- Woah!

2:31:56 Well there goes, is she religious? Is she a Christian? I don't even do that. And she tries to talk herself out of it. That's true you do not use that epithet! No not for any religion believe whatever you want to believe in i don't care it's fine I have lots of issues with profanity. I'm pretty good at that Yes, I'd say it's Tourette's all right well She's gonna try and get out of this too people really thought I was going crazy in fact Zerlina I stopped going on TV because everybody starts saying well how do you know they're Russian? Well god damn it! I know the difference between America and something thats foreign And ain't nobody ever cuss me out in those kind of words cuz I don't even understand those words because I can cuss you back now What did she just say

2:32:40 Have no idea She's talking about cussing. She just cussed is it but I know the goddamn difference between Russia and America and that God damnit, I know the difference between America Yeah, they're all agreeing with her. What is she's talking about? I don't know she I guess she knows if something's far as I Know those kind of words cuz I don't even understand it was worse because I can cuss you back This was this was a what she said just rambling yeah, this was a massive campaign and when you see massively like It's massive president Dick Cheney

2:33:21 She's going to agree with Dick Cheney now. This is the winner to me, yes! Now we have the left-wing Democrats agreeing with Dick Cheney? Think about that for a minute people... The man has no soul his heart is in a bag He carries it in a fanny pack. I love her crew there, uh-huh, mmhmm preach, Former Vice President Dick Cheney. I've never agreed with Dick Cheney in my entire life, but when he said this was an act of war... I have to agree with the former vice president it was an act of war and we better understand the ramifications because if they can take down a woman of stature like Hillary Clinton with bogus stuff

2:34:11 And then you have to disprove the negative. To make it somehow another... How is it bogus? It's bogus stuff! She took the questions, she finally admitted to it. She took the questions from CNN and gave them right to The Hillary campaign that's why she got fired That's why she got busted how was it bogus? Preach! In what universe is it bogus? Preach girlfriend! Then you have to disprove the negative to make it somehow another truthful You cannot Yeah because you did it media, and listen to me my friends. When the national media is complicit also in carrying on the fake narrative, the fake emails, the spoofing... Spoofing? Then you have to go out there and try to make it factual! What fake emails?! Because she started... What fake e-mails and what spoofing!? She at one point said

2:35:03 that these emails had been modified and it wasn't her email. There's never been any proof or mention of that, nobody brings up... In fact quite the opposite has been proven because Podesta was using a Gmail and they have a uh how is it g-gmik I forget the name of the co there's a there's basically a challenge string yeah hash so you can see that has been unaltered and it's been unaltered try to make it factual so pile facts are The Washington Post fact check if somebody else can fact check Someone else can fact check it. Oh, those Russians... That's right! Damn Russians. Donna Brazile man. She's out of control. She's crazy she's crazy now this is building everywhere this is really building everywhere in the UK BBC Radio 5

2:35:49 This is a defense analyst, his name is Tim Ripley and he's very concerned about Russia's armaments. They're building all kinds of great new weapons we're going to be in trouble we probably should get ready because it's horrible! Does this merit the hype? Well I mean certainly the Russians are developing this missile when they'll be ready how many they will have and where they will fire them at a few years down the road. But certainly they are keen to get this stuff and they're putting their money behind it Do we know then that it can definitely travel at five to six times the speed of sound? Oh, well... We don't know that yet because they haven't built it yet They haven't tested it but there's certainly going that way They have the technology and they are developing a load of other weapons in super-silent submarines stealth planes air defence missiles

2:36:41 that are really getting our military people worried. I mean, we're in an arms race! We're back to the situation where in the 1950s 60's 70's 80's Where you know your potential opponents when they bring out a new weapon that makes your weapons obsolete or less effective You've got to counter it otherwise you are um uh to coin a phrase dead meat So they're bringing that one, but we're going to make it even crazier. We're going to bring back the oldest story we have in recent memory think Charlie Wilson's war

2:37:19 The Trump administration firmly keeping the door open to cooperating with Vladimir Putin to fight ISIS in Syria. President has been very clear in the past that if a country shares our commitment to defeating ISIS and we can work for them, in an area of shared mutual concern then we will do so But Russia is already... Their editing is great. They cut that in? Yeah, they cut that and once again it's the video of a bunch of dudes with turbans shooting from the hip with like 50 caliber machine guns and the camera is right next to them standing in parallel line because yeah they're shooting at the enemy or maybe just putting on little show I don't know but the edit is perfect Then we will do so

2:38:08 But Russia is already moving beyond Syria, launching a new effort in Libya to exert its influence and change the security landscape in a country where there's still no central government more than five years after Muammar Gaddafi was ousted. Top US commanders now increasingly concerned. What is Russia trying to do in Libya General Waldheiser? Senator, Russia is trying to exert influence on the ultimate decision of who becomes and what entity becomes in charge of the government inside Libya. They're trying to do in Libya what they've been doing in Syria? Yes that's a good way to characterize it U.S officials tell CNN in recent weeks reconnaissance revealed at an airbase in western Egypt just 60 miles from the Libyan border Russian drones aircraft and personnel have arrived

2:38:56 Across the border, Libyan oil installations are not far away. Nice. Fighting has erupted between rival groups for control, the Russians deny they are in Egypt the US is trying to figure out how deeply involved Moscow will get inside Libya this doesn't only give them greater power in Africa but it gives them a foothold in the Mediterranean on the southern edge of Europe where they can potentially threaten us interests and those have us allies so this is a big deal Yeah, there you go. And they're moving into Afghanistan and they're moving to Libya and... And you know what? You know what I betcha they are! We went in we rubbilized Libya, we messed it up, we left it, we messed it up. This warlords who were running the oil... Oh, we abandoned it?! Yeah, we left and then hello you create a vacuum and yeah of course they're gonna move in. Ah, I'm glad it's them not the Chinese

2:39:57 Although they probably, they're probably fighting as we speak. And there's fighting going on in Libya! We don't hear any of this so you know anything... No we don't hear a lot of stuff Anything we can do, anything please we just have to continue to dis- Russia Russia Russia Now in this block I have another clip from Brian Williams and he is going to debunk Trump's tweet and this is what happened Trump tweeted, hey why is everyone all over me? How about the Clinton's connection to Russia. Uranium sold she got paid for it and Brian Williams gives us half of the story Well today President Trump sowed confusion on the Russia investigation He asked why the media I'm sorry Scott Pelly what am i thinking And CBS which is worse Yes it even says CBS here I'm sorry Are not covering quote money from Russia to Clinton for the sale of uranium

2:40:51 Well, here's why. No credible source alleges that Hillary Clinton was paid by Russia for American uranium I love this! He didn't say it wasn't true he says no credible source has said it is true or false This is very, very smart what he's doing. Listen to it. Very slick! Well when you're done with that I got a clip to show that the other side can be kind of slick too but not this slick. Paid by Russia for American uranium But like most conspiracy theories there is an atom... Conspiracy theory? It's a fact Yes there's a fact There's little facts And its old fact, it's not new But like most conspiracy theories there is an atom of truth in this

2:41:31 By 2013, a Russian company purchased 20% of American uranium deposits. That was approved by a committee including Clinton's State Department But also including the departments of Treasury, Justice, Defense, Homeland Security Commerce and Energy plus the US Trade Representative and the Office of Science & Technology. Separately... The deal was okayed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Secretary Clinton could not have stopped the deal And he neglects to mention that the Clintons- That's not true!

2:42:10 Tell me, talk to me. She's the Department of State can stop any of those deals? Any one of those agencies could have stopped it I think...I don't know if any one of them could but i know the state department definitely Could and that's a lie! The second half of the story is that the Clinton Foundation then received a sizable gift from said Russians. I thought they got the gift before or the deal no I think was pretty sure was after the deal That would be very stupid to give it before the deal and then do the deal. I think it was done before the deal still, okay? That's even dumber! It was not that dumb they got the deal done. Again this is what you say about yourself with your head cut off because they're accusing Trump of taking money from the Russians and implementing policy post-fact where this is exactly what Hillary Clinton did exactly what she did. Um...I think I have a gem of a clip here

2:43:04 This is Roger Stone, we don't hear from him very often. And he was on Coast to Coast! Yeah and the question of John McCain and you know of course John McCain is up front... Hey, we should separately both be on Coast to Coast at least once Well they gotta invite us I mean how do you get on? Well everyone keeps saying oh I know a guy Yeah, I know who the booker is in the test room. Okay or her don't assume gender or Z here we go Who would not want me to show up at the hearings and deflate their whole phony Russian myth who benefits? That's what you're saying. In other words, I want to confront Adam Schiff. I want to confront Eric Swalwell I want to confront John McCain and Mark Warner

2:43:54 I will bitch slap them like children. I will take their actual words and show how they lie! I will point out the millions John McCain has taken from the Saudis. John McCain is not allowed to burp without checking with the Saudis. They have funded the millions of dollars to his John McCain Institute, which he assures us he has nothing whatsoever to do with except for everyone on the board who works there and been on his U.S. Senate staff. Why did this cranky old man insult our intelligence? Mike Argus is a senator from The Beltway

2:44:37 He has, he is despised by rank and file Republicans. That's why when Donald Trump criticized him uh and the mainstream media folks says oh that's it he's criticized a war hero talk to the POW families they hate his guts. Whoa you got butt slam! John McCain better watch out. He's got an adversary. They're not going to bring Stone in because Stone is going to wear a crazy hat and then humiliate all of them, so he is definitely not coming in. You know that's what he's gonna do right? Of course! I thought he was uninvited. Yeah, but you know he would wear that crazy hat. He'll probably sit in the audience with the crazy hat. Let me play this clip of Ryan on CBS

2:45:28 He discusses the, he tries to counter and this has to be deconstructed because he tries to counter the narrative that's going on. I think he kind of does a decent job, but it's so subtle that i don't think he has the oomph like Roger Stone just displayed in that clip of yours. Do you want me to play Interference 1 or Interference Ryan? I want you to Interference Ryan In a CBS News poll out today half of Americans told us they believe the Russians interfered with the election and most of them said it was to help Mr Trump.

2:46:05 So right away, this CBS really we have to stop these clips a lot because they're just terrible. So they show up poll it says 45% of Americans think that the Russians may have interfered somewhere in our desktop that you know is not like 60%, 70%. This law is less than half and then as 40% of those people Thought it was for the benefit Trump. That's a total of around, I don't know 16% total so it's not really a high number but he dramatizes it as if its an outrageously high number The public is pissed off about all this Unbelievable indeed Said it was to help Mr Trump CBS This Morning co-host Nora O'Donnell talked to the House Speaker Paul Ryan today

2:46:54 I was just listening to the senators on the Senate Intelligence Committee and i know you know the leading Republican Senator Burr who served with. And he said look this is so important what's going on they're investigating Russia was involved in a covert operation yes to influence our election 2016. They are doing it other countries right now? Yes! covert and covert in Europe, Germany France. Holland Belgium Mitch McConnell Chuck Schumer and I suppose and I sent a letter to the Secretaries of State before the election saying heads up be on the watch out again something's happening He is agreeing with everything she says. She's out to get him, you know? She's out to prove something because she's like Nora and she gets irked. She hates the Republicans. She's a bigot. Yeah he now slips in this little factoid that may or may not be true and without doing what Trump would do but he is for all practical purposes blaming Obama

2:47:52 Yes, and she just said she doesn't she so I don't you know, I don't know what the Microaggressions careful. She goes right over her head zoom anyway go back. Sorry Heads up, be on the watch out. Something's happening guard your data so we all knew this before the election we all knew Russia was trying to meddle with our election and we already know right now they're trying do with other countries The world superpower, the American government needs to do everything we possibly can not only to undercut what they're trying to do but uncover what they're trying to do and help our allies prevent this from happening. I think that we have a special responsibility given our capabilities to make sure that we help our allies guard against this meddling by Russia in their elections just like they tried to with our election

2:48:47 What capabilities! Don't miss the rest of Nora's interview with Speaker Ryan first thing tomorrow. What capabilities? So far, we just get hacked all the time We got no skills We're not leads...we get hacked all the time This actually fits perfectly into my next clip The assertion from the president is that the Obama administration was eavesdropping wiretapping whatever you want to call it advertising and that that information was then disseminated as widely with the names unmasked. Am I summarizing that correctly? Yeah, as anyway... As best anyone could. Okay this is former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Evelyn Farkas so she was in the defense department which to me just means military intelligence and she tells this story on Morning Joe

2:49:48 that they had the well you'll hear it that she had the information and everyone was out there spreading it will listen I Was urging my former colleagues and and frankly speaking to people on the hill It was more actually aimed aimed at telling the Hill people get as much Information as you can get as much intelligence as you can before President Obama leaves the administration Because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior people who left, so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy. That the Trump folks if they found out how we knew what we knew about their staff, the Trump staff dealing with Russians that they would try to compromise those sources and methods meaning we would no longer have access to that intelligence So I became very worried because not enough was coming out into the open and I knew there was more

2:50:39 We have very good intelligence on Russia. So then I had talked to some of my former colleagues and I knew that they were trying to also help get information to the Hill A lot going on today, Mark Alford That's why you have the leaking This is mind-boggling! She just admitted it! Because I've heard, I did not heard this clip before and But there's a number of talk radio guys that are talking about this clip. Yeah Saying that this woman should be investigated immediately Well it sounds to me like she said we didn't want to tip him off because otherwise our methods and sources would stop Meaning she was directly connected to that yeah She's one of the leakers

2:51:26 And she even said this is why you had all this leaking going on because she was doing it. She admitted felony! Yes, hello? I find this unbelievable Well i find unbelievable the two of them sitting there...I don't know what they What were they doing? Why weren't they paying attention? Were they not listening to her? No, they think this is okay This dimension B There's no way There's just no way They're never gonna see that it's wrong To me It was mind-boggling And then my best clip, this is the last one I got for you John. I should have done the 10 minute warning Do we still have this? I wonder if we still have that old Hollywood Whackers clip or the jingle Hmm...I must've removed it Randy Quaid! Randy Quaid posted a new video

2:52:12 Randy Quaid, remember he was on the run on The Lamb. Well not so much but yeah... But from time to time he does a little something funny So uh he is now promoting the idea that our government has rooms full of trolls He's not talking about the Chinese or Russian though About America American Government Hundreds of employees creating hundreds of thousands of fake users each with personal history and multiple cyber presence What'd you call them? Sock puppets. I've heard rumors of social media boiler rooms in China and Russia, but not here... And definitely not on this scale! Interesting It is interesting. And you better pay attention Someone is paying a shitload of money to build a massive domestic propaganda machine and if it's the DOD, the NSA or anyone else are breaking 10 federal laws plus This isn't just about fake news manipulating public opinion

2:53:10 This is about Time Warner, CNN and NBC trying to control the election. The candidate and public opinion and pawning it off on China in Russia with more fake news. Go Randy! And this ties into something I'm moving to Sunday we just don't have the time anymore whereas US Code 2222 has been removed from the Telecommunications Act for internet providers, which effectively allows internet providers to inspect everything you have collect everything you have give that anybody they want to for any reason whatsoever and I'm very baffled

2:53:54 by this decision and I wonder if anyone knows what the hell they've done. So we will... Well, I do have a background or clip for that too. Let's do it on Sunday though because we really... Okay it's fine. That'll give me a little time to think about it some more because it's baffling! I've said this couple times today instead of course I've said baffling. First of all let's make sure them note that this is not- This is the way it was before October. This is a rollback Yes It is. It's an Obama rollback, correct? No it's a Trump rollback of Obama. Yeah, a Trump rollback of an Obama and... but that was only in since October? Yeah That I didn't know Yes very recent so make sure you get the timeline correct That's good thank you okay now i've done all the legal work i've looked at all the uh all the respective articles etc that are that's referred to in this uh in this very small bill which has passed the house and the senate as going to the president Right he'll sign it

2:54:53 Yeah, we gotta talk about that on Sunday. That's a big problem with that but the timeline is gonna be great because I don't good okay can't wait Can't wait all right want to roll us out with something funny you got any good and oh let's see Good question so look at the last of the list who's got there well There was a cut when I keep putting it off Oh yeah, this is a piece of news. Why don't we do the Chinese real estate? You promised! Oh right let's do the Chinese real estate and then we get that one follow-up which is kind of interesting I want to get out of the way which is no just through the Chinese realistic the other one I can wait GTN Shanghai And more talks on housing prices That was a Chinese lip smack right there

2:55:38 And more talks on housing prices in China. We're joined by our current affairs commentator A&R Tang. Well, A&R, houses sell like hotcakes in China But the government definitely don't want a property prices to skyrocket like this and they have put in place Many restriction policies, but it seems they have not worked. So well what do you make of the government's efforts? Well, the governments on a tightrope because quite frankly The real estate industry is large part of GDP so when you start shutting it down you start

2:56:14 turning off jobs. And when you're trying to create jobs and maintain your economy, that's a big issue so that's why you've seen this kind of seesaw effect where the government has loosened and then tightened restrictions in order to try to as I say walk this tightrope between economic development and maintaining property prices. But the government's going to have to go a little bit further, I mean there are issues one of them is this idea of property tax right now you have two different things going on and one you have people who want a house to live in and quite frankly within China it's pretty good families in China 90% of families in China actually own their house and 80 percent of the people

2:56:54 actually own it outright. No debt so the real issue here is the speculative what we call the non-real economy and people that's what the government wants to strike down well they do but you know one of the underlying causes of that is that people don't feel they have a lot of different alternatives for investment for instance Putting money abroad is being putting much much more difficult. The stock market has had its ups and downs So right now people feel that property is safe They might not make money, but they say well I won't lose too much Huh? Yeah me I didn't know about the eight in eighty percent out on their homes outright in China That's pretty amazing

2:57:37 And this is why they're buying up these houses in Australia, because it's just an investment. Because they don't have any other way to invest their money. They can't start throwing it at the American stock market necessarily unless you're certain... Well these guys should learn how to day trade! And apparently they should with that Chinese market that would probably be better. This by the way is my stock answer we were at Nordstrom the other night actually after Thursday Night Show Because we have bandana ball coming up on Saturday. It's the big Ronald McDonald house benefit and of course I'm supporting the keeper and you needed to get some get some duds because it's the bandana ball And I'm talking to that the checkout guy man person, and I say yes Oh yeah How's it going says? It's unbelief so quiet He says but you know we had South by no one even didn't even notice a blip in the traffic

2:58:31 Um, you know normally this time of year with sales it's busy. It's just completely empty. Where was this again? The big mall here in Austin the Barton Springs Square Street Creek Mall something like that. It's a small big mall they got dicks and so he's just saying it's dead is dead as dead and I said well what do they usually say they come in look at stuff but buy online or buy something like it and my stock answers there's a solution for ya day trading It always cracks people up. Yeah, it is funny. It's a funny for some reason it's funny in that context yeah You learn how to day trade dude you'll be fine Someone should respond to that correctly by just giving you one swift kick to the nuts I think we'd have an at least 10 minutes of show material. I'm in All right

2:59:25 I didn't know that there was...well, the retail numbers are coming in. They're not good and your premise is a bigger problem than just buying it online? Oh of course! Of course there's also an economic issue, just pure economic issues absolutely Absolutely. And these malls, I think these malls are...I mean we have our malls are...I think we got a mall up here Hilltop Mall which is I think killing their JC Penney's and probably the Sears' it's gonna go. Yeah both of those. Those are the two anchor stores they can't go when they go the whole small goes to hell! And I heard Guitar Center is also going on there going in the way of Radio Shack. Oh that was terrible! Guitar Center if you ever been to one? Of course

3:00:09 They're one of the greatest stores you can go to. Yeah, oh it's over. They got so many gimmicks. No no they're gonna just sell Mexican guitars Mexican strats and uh and you know cables and batteries I know i never heard this...I've-i heard it from someone who was in the supply chain Jeez well that's terrible because that's a great store It's over. There you go nice and uplifting everybody perfect. Yeah, there you go a live it up this weekend Should I be watching the game today tomorrow Saturday?
