Learn Russian!

00:00 He's the god of hellfire. Begin to begin and begin broadcasting live from the darkest corners of the internet here in the capital of the drone star state downtown Austin, Tejas. In the Cluedio in the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley where it's overcast and miserable I'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot & Buzzkill Wow nice energy level really rocked yeah yeah let's begin to beginne by the way... I know that John but uh it was so hard to recognize when you're playing it

00:42 What? You said I played it, nailed it. It's begin to beginn... Yeah got it And you know people you don't show up for the live stream you don't get the concert that's all I can say They're ahead of the game Yes Well happy Memorial Day! I don't know if we're supposed to be happy about Memorial Day No Although in America most people are happy about Memorial day because it's usually time for a mattress sale and again its truck month I'm sure of it but thank you for the newsletter You told me something I did not know and quite frankly, I'm surprised that this opportunity was missed by the Social Justice Warriors Memorial Day is inherently racist. It's a racist holiday and I had no idea! And again, the opportunity was missed by many. Yeah they blew it. Do you want to explain?

01:36 Well, yeah. Memorial Day actually began as a Confederate States holiday called Memorial Day and it was in 1866 And then, and it was to celebrate both the South and the death of those Confederate soldiers. The Wiki page does a very good job discussing this although it's kind of scattered. I just want to explain for people who don't know immediately... Two years later? Everything Confederate in America—Confederate flags, Confederate generals' statues is all racist, all has to go! And so two years later, the North adopted a similar holiday to celebrate its dead soldiers. Which was also racist? Called Decoration Day.

02:23 And then, so those two holidays kind of competed with each other Memorial Day and Decoration Day until about the early 1900s when they were consolidated by the government to one holiday called Memorial Day named...in other words they took the Confederate name which was a better name than Decoration Day. And that's the holiday we now celebrate. Well I think the opportunity that was missed was to revert from Memorial Day to Decoration Day That would have probably accomplished what they were trying to accomplish or whatever. This will come up, it must. I think what you're pointing out is that we haven't got there yet. Yeah exactly well no people just didn't know and i was like oh man we missed this opportunity! We could have gone to Hot Topic and got some scarves and we could have you know larped around a bit. Would've been beautiful yeah but this is an interesting time in America

03:20 certainly in a college town like Austin, Texas when everyone's graduating we have... Oh man we got commencement. Commencement is what it's called yes? I actually have a clip! Ah what you got?! This is the University of Texas they had an unceased band they were gonna play the entire...I couldn't stand it They were going to play the entire commencement speech at UTA And who was doing that now just so you understand when in America When you graduate, then you want to have someone who went to your university come and speak. And if you're lucky and if you're a good university it's someone of great stature! They will send you on your way... The most famous one was Steve Jobs in my lifetime. Steve Jobs before he died had a really nice commencement speech there at Stanford? Yeah I believe so yes So who was at UT?

04:15 I think it was Pee Wee Herman. No, no? I can't remember but anyway here this was kind of a little clip from their presentation on C-SPAN there's the and it discusses the most popular degrees in fact before we play it I could do a little ask Adam what do you think is the most popular degree at UTA would be? It is either gender studies in media or...it's true Maybe it would be political science wrong and wrong. Oh, man Let's play the clip I knew which clip it was I would most most popular

04:55 degrees UGA. Of those 9,600 Longhorn degrees that are about to be conferred 6,779 will be getting their bachelor's degrees 2,091 their masters degree and 799 will be obtaining their doctoral degree Among those graduating with bachelor degrees, the three most popular majors for this year in order are... Number one business administration. Number two economics. Number three accounting. Number four finance. A bunch of bankers? I guess! That's very surprising that surprises the heck out of me

05:44 My gosh, I was stunned by it too. Oh, I didn't realize this is a like the parade voiceover that we were listening to No no there was they're showing this still not as still but an actual real-time picture of the people sitting waiting And it gets the band that tell you ta band was playing that song But I have I picked out for celebrity commencement speeches that I thought would be interesting to share with the group Since we're on that good because I got the two. I get some clips from the Hillary one well That's look at another coughing fit you want to start with I have that too obviously Why don't just play my version? I'd spend a lot of time editing it down you do coughing yeah, you have the coffee Yes, of course. Have the coughing clip Oh dynamite You know this is at Wellesley College Where she graduated for what is this still all girl like all girls school? I think men are now they have a couple guys in there as long as they wear the pink hat and their life You know

06:38 I don't want to remind you. She had these coughing fits during speeches six months ago, seven months ago a year ago it has not it hasn't let up yeah I'm not gonna speculate let's just call that emotion but its emotions emotion. You know four years ago maybe a little more or less for some of you I've got to get a lozenge. The lozenge! What was interesting on the video, with the minute the first cough came there were two women seated on either side of her who immediately jumped to attention and one with water, one with the lozenge... And everyone's clapping and laughing oh yes haha okay she took a lozenge

07:25 Lozenge, lozenge. Good argument. I told the trustees I was sitting with after hearing Tala's speech You know what it sounds like don't you? She's gotta take a dump! I didn't think i could get through it So we'll blame allergy instead of emotion Oh, this is emotion John... so stupid of me But you know you arrived at this campus There's the water You arrived from all over. You joined students from 49 states and 58 countries now maybe you felt like you belonged right away I doubt it but maybe some of you did and you've never wavered but maybe you changed your major three times in your hairstyle twice as many is that

08:25 Or maybe after your first month of classes, you made a frantic collect call. Ask your parents what that was? To tell your mother and father you weren't smart enough to be here. Here we go! My father said okay come home Of course stupid ass man dumb dumb dude Oh and moron Well, if she'd followed his advice we never have her win the popular vote. We never have her coughing! My mother said you have to stick it out. Wooo mom! That's what happened to me. Yeah I think she misunderstood. Her mom actually told the dad to stick it out. That's what happened to me. You're horrible... But whatever your path, you dream big

09:19 You probably in true Wellesley fashion planned your academic and extracurricular schedule right down to the minute. As President Johnson said, I spoke at my commencement 48 years ago. I came back 25 years ago to speak at another commencement. I couldn't think of any place i'd rather be this year than right here. It is so exciting you can see it's so much better. Alright there. She is barely that's a better one than I had when I had I didn't put it in no I spent I spent A lot of time chopping, you know that's good because you got all this since we're talking about here

10:01 Since I have two clips about this speech. Mm-hmm Yeah, let's go. I'm noticing yeah you know I've been bitching about PBS recently being obviously turning itself over and then man and then I watched the show again this week and The NewsHour and I really now am more convinced than ever that it was Gwen Ifill Who kept who actually had was keeping it a little balanced? It was keeping in on the straight and narrow problem What you're referring to mainly is that PBS has taken up the habit of having two people on one side of an argument and then arguing that the other side is wrong, but there's no one there to defend it.

10:39 Well, there's that but now I'm noticing a lot of anti-Trump stuff and I'm also noticing a mirroring of what's going on CBS. There were two stories in particular one was on the Clinton speech even though they took different clips and the second one which we'll talk about little later is on this meme going around about Mr Rogers And both CBS and PBS are running these almost identical stories, especially the Mr. Rogers thing it was unbelievable I mean I don't know what PR people were behind it but it was pretty genius But let's listen to Hillary first on PBS she is on They just throw a gratuitous clip from an anti-Trump clip. She says a lot of stuff, it's not all anti Trump but let's just use that. Back in this country Hillary Clinton delivered a searing critique of President Trump's policies in her commencement address she spoke at her alma mater Wellesley College in Massachusetts without naming the president directly she branded his budget and attack

11:39 unimaginable cruelty against the most vulnerable. She also charged there's a full-fledged assault on truth and reason when people in power invent their own facts and attack those who question them it can mark the beginning of the end of a free society we're all gonna die And that would then they just go on to something else and you really calm. Thanks Hills, thanks Hills we know we're all gonna die now on the other hand CBS played another for another little bit that was attacking Trump in a kind of manner where she's talking about Nixon but actually talking about Trump

12:24 Unfortunately, they had to comment at the end because she screwed up. They never pointed it out like they would if it was Trump. They never said well... Don't tell me! Can we just listen to and guess or does this not work that way? You'll know immediately. Hillary Clinton, Wellesley College class of 69 returned to her alma mater today to deliver the commencement address. She spoke about the man who was in the White House when she graduated but seemed to be making a veiled reference to the man who's there now We were furious at the past presidential election The royal we

13:06 Man whose presidency would eventually end in disgrace with his impeachment for obstruction of justice. After firing the person running the investigation into him at the Department of Justice. Clinton was speaking, of course, of President Nixon who resigned before the House could impeach him. Isn't it interesting that she was also fired during the Nixon impeachment? Was it a Nixon impeachment that she was at the law firm and she got fired I don't know that story. From the impeachment team, yeah! Yeah, think so Well she said he was impeached and he wasn't

13:44 No, he wasn't. And so CBS instead of pointing this out that she made a huge error blunder you know she was making up her own facts. Yes. She's the end of civilization. Fact check false. So she made up her own facts and they just slipstreamed the correction very subtly it was very slick I want to hear let me hear the slickness again hold on one second. ...and in disgrace with his impeachment for obstruction of justice after firing the person running the investigation into him at the Department of Justice. Clinton was speaking of course of President Nixon who resigned before the house could impeach him. Yeah, a good cover guys instead of Fact check false Calcum pollution doesn't even know that he would never give That was exactly I was my yeah That's my impersonation that would be the normal way it would have done if it was anybody but anybody but her exactly well Let's move on to hum let's see this is the Kennedy Law School which is Harvard? I believe

14:49 That would be the... No? I'll look it up. Maybe Northeastern? No, that definitely not. Well, I think it's a part of Harvard. It'd be the Casey Stengel Law School, I believe. Oh my goodness! Okay let's look at Kennedy Law School. I'm sorry to all the Northeastern graduates. Yeah we're really sucking bad here. Which is a huge school by the way, huge. Yeah, it said Randall L. Kennedy Harvard Law School Oh, Randall? Okay. Yeah the Harvard Kennedy Law School. Okay you're right. Alma mater to John Kerry. Yes short clip on F Kerry. John F JF Kerry as he likes to say and he was funny but I should tell you there are plenty of things

15:45 Yes, that's because we'd have to turn the TV sideways to fit your big head in it. I'm often asked what the secret is, and i was just up at a luncheon and we were having some conversation about government. And I've been asked what's the secret to having a real impact on government? Well it has recently changed. Uh oh! What do you think you could do to have a real impact? Is this guy doing stand-up?! Yes... He's not getting any laughs on those other jokes No he's getting more like... So when your college student especially in big school are they're not really watching a lot of television

16:34 No, not in a law school. So what do you think his advice is to the kids graduating from? Get a job at Chuck E Cheese I have no idea He used to say either run for office or get a degree from the Harvard Kennedy School With this White House i'd say buy Rosetta Stone and learn Russian Oh geez It just went downhill from there Oh man. Meanwhile, at the real Harvard where I'm sure he wanted to be... Yeah there he is ladies and gentlemen The hero of the day Mark Zuckerberg! And he is so full of himself He almost doesn't seem real when you look at him

17:22 I find that he's got some mental... It has to be like an Asperger or something so he can concentrate on what he does, because he is a specialist at what he does. And there is no doubt that he does it well but he doesn't seem to connect with any normal person. First of all just looking at his face and thinking, and I'm surprised that you would have picked up on this, I am thinking vasectomy Uh, hmm. He has if you kind of got to look at the eyes he's got a pasty face very very feminine eyes I could be wrong maybe possible but he could be a vasectomy victim But he's got some grand plans for the no borders No Nations people now today We have a level of wealth inequality that hurts everyone it hurts everyone John because

18:23 By the way as we all listen to this I haven't heard this We have to remember that he is being promoted as a candidate. Yes Oh my god, we'll have to continue the show For sure now today We have a level of wealth inequality that hurts everyone. Yes, oh yeah it's some of the best times in man's history but now wealth inequality it hurts everyone. The funny thing is the way he speaks because he's kind of a mumbler He doesn't announce his origin. He speaks pretty well here To me when I heard it I said wealth and equality

19:08 We have a level of wealth and equality. Yeah, I don't think he said that but... No, i don't think you said it either because he's towing the Democratic party line yeah When you can when you don't have the freedom To take your idea and turn it into a historic enterprise we all lose When you don't have- What? When you don't have the freedom John The freedom to take your idea And turn it into He is talking about himself And turning into a historic enterprise we all lose Because you don't have freedom, you see. You're not free He has a solution and he will discuss what you need to be free But you're not free! You have no freedom And right now today our society is way over indexed on rewarding people when they are successful and we don't nearly enough To make sure that everyone can take lots of different shots Don't Cause I know your not listening when you do that Overindexed? It's overindex man Is he gonna just deal out nothing but Silicon Valley

20:08 Buzzword? Yeah! Yeah? Lots of different shots. Now let's face it, there is something wrong with our system when I can leave here and make billions of dollars in 10 years while millions of students can't even afford to pay off their loans let alone start a business. Didn't he drop out? It was also raining like crazy. Everyone was pissed off, it was a very wet commencement. I believe he did drop out yes but he stayed longer than Gates did Yeah but still i mean he's saying you know it's crazy! I left and I had all the opportunity in the world and you can't even pay off your loans schmucks Look look

20:56 And I don't know a single person who gave up on starting a business because they were worried they might not make enough money. But, I know too many people who haven't had the chance to pursue their dreams... ...because they didn't have a cushion to fall back on if they failed." What? I'm sorry that is- THAT is dumb In my opinion as an entrepreneur it is exactly that lack of a cushion that drives you Not having one If you have a cushion in the socialist government under socialism and like the Eastern USSR used to have a cushion for ya. Yeah, you couldn't go weren't gonna do anything I just hung out smoke weed or drink vodka. Whoo like that he's definitely got a skewed view of Also, I want to mention this not everybody

21:55 wants to be an entrepreneur changing the world. No A lot of people don't care. They just soon have a job or they could be trust-a-farians, just people living off their parents' inheritance. Yeah. It's a lot of people like to do programs and might be involved in the ballet or they might be involved in art galleries. All kinds of things. There are all kinds of things besides starting a business Or maybe just take a vow of poverty become a podcaster there is tons of things you can do That's always an option Back on if they failed We all know you don't get successful just by having a good idea or working hard. No, you get successful by being lucky too Oh okay luck John is love now in my mind luck is where preparation meets opportunity In what do you mean? Oh God go on what what does luck to you? Luck is business luck business luck Business like is more

22:57 Work than just pure luck. I mean it's not as though you're standing there and somebody drives by hey, you're a good-looking guy Here's a million dollars. I mean that TV show used to have a guy that did that okay? But luck is yeah, why what he says what he's referring to here is being lucky as having a cushion No. Yes, yes that's what I'm saying. What he is referring to is that democratic meme that Obama promoted and became a big deal Which was, you didn't do it on your own. Luck is the fact that you're in this country where we built the roads and we built the infrastructure and all of things allowed you to do what you can do You didn't do anything! You just happened to be in the right place at the right time That's the luck aspect of it I don't think thats what he's aiming here Let's listen for the rest I agree that that is certainly the Obama-Elizabeth Warren meme

23:55 She really propagated that, but I think he's... Yeah she is actually the one who pumped it the most. Yeah, I think he is saying something different. ...get successful just by having a good idea or working hard? You get successful by being lucky too! If I had to support my family growing up instead of having time to learn how to code if I didn't know that I was going to be fine and Facebook didn't work out then I wouldn't be standing here today Really?! That's surprising to me! What did he say? What he is saying is If I didn't know that, you know Facebook failed. I'd still be okay. I guess his family has money? I don't know some money. Well he went to Harvard Yeah He's saying well if I didn't have that cushion then I never would have been standing here. I think that's total horse crap That it may be it maybe his experience and maybe the way he did it but most successful entrepreneurs

24:46 don't really have that story. You know, it's like we were broke I was eating you know charging everything on the credit card eating ramen That's the story even Gates a story which is similar to this because his dad was a you know lawyer Yeah His failure stories slightly different gates his story Was that if Microsoft failed at all and just didn't go well? I always what I'm telling you used to say this I always knew, i could make it as a coder. Great. If Facebook didn't work out... Then I wouldn't be standing up here today! Every generation expands its definition of equality. Ready? Previous generations fought for the vote and civil rights Yeah They had the New Deal and great society What should we do?! Come on John this you should know this you should already know where he's aiming No I don't Oh

25:43 And now it's time for our generation to define a new social contract. Here we go! We should have a society that measures progress not just by economic metrics like GDP, but by how many of us have a role we find meaningful? We should explore ideas like universal basic income to make sure that everyone has a condition to try new ideas There you go. We need universal basic income so that people can go out and try and build the next Facebook with an idea, but with a cushion. So that if you fail like eh whatever I failed. Can you imagine all the bros out there with universal basic income actually starting a business? Yeah. Rooskies man who's buying! We're all going to change jobs and roles many times so we need affordable childcare to get to work and healthcare not tied just one employer

26:39 And healthcare that's not tied to just one employer. What is he angling at? To lower his cost of insurance? I don't know why, but he's paying too much. Healthcare that's not tied to just one employer... and i hate to be the employer exactly and we're all going to make mistakes so we need a society that's less focused on locking us up and stigmatizing us when we do And as our technology keeps on evolving, we need a society that is more focused on providing continuous education through our lives. He's talking about coders... Giving everyone the freedom to pursue purpose isn't gonna be free. Oh people like me should pay for it Yeah, oh hey you can always call for that yeah You can send a check anytime I said that wealth tax is the way to take care of this But how come these same guys just say what he just said or against the wealth tax and a lot of you are gonna do really well And you should too. Oh you should too

27:35 That is why Priscilla and I started the Chan Zuckerberg initiative, and committed our wealth to promoting equal opportunity. Yeah which is kind of a scam because we all know exactly what that non-profit of yours is about It's about profit But my favorite commencement speech for this season for the 2017 graduating class This is now your beat you know? Yeah, I think we've done it in the past I think we've had a couple. I remember Condoleezza Rice, we had a few. Yeah yeah so we did a few yeah this is probably another week of them so you have to do another segment next if anything's good i will this is um from renowned climate scientist Dr Michael E Mann We remember him don't we John? Michael Mann yes front and center uh in many of the Climategate scandals he is the developer of the hockey stick curve

28:23 Right, the debunked... roundly debunked hockey stick curve. Nice callback to the previous episode Mr. Dvorak! Well done. Roundly, roundly debunked and he talks about himself a lot as you do in these commencement speeches He is an alum of the Green Mountain College which I believe is up in Washington Is it not? No, you've seen of Evergreen Green Mountain oh, no every news in New Hampshire. I'm sorry probably new hampshire this I think it is new hampshire then you're right yeah And he went very far in, well I mean fact check false. I went on to study theoretical physics in graduate school and then moved into the then burgeoning field of climate research My path of discovery would ultimately lead me to publish the now iconic hockey stick curve In the late 1990s The curve tells an unmistakable story Namely that the current warming spike is unprecedented as far back as we can go

29:24 our continued burning of fossil fuels is the culprit. And fossil fuel interests and front groups and politicians doing their bidding attacked it, and they attacked me personally despite the numerous independent confirmations of those findings by the US National Academy of Sciences and dozens of other... Check in the mud flats! ...the effort to discredit this research and discredit me personally has continued I've become convinced that there is no more noble pursuit that we can engage in, then to seek to ensure that policy is informed by an objective assessment of scientific evidence.

30:03 You're gonna miss it if you do. ...formed by an objective assessment of scientific evidence that evidence now shows us that we face a stark choice between the future with a little more climate change, that we will still have to adapt to and cope with or one with catastrophic climate change that will threaten the future life as we know it... Oh, don't be afraid though! Hey welcome to the world And so here we are at a crossroads Let me be blunt never before have we witnessed science under the kind of assault it is being subject to Subject to right now in this country Nor have we witnessed an assault on the environment like the one. We are witnessing in the current political atmosphere I will borrow and adapt for our current time and place the words of Martin Nemo, okay? Now this is where gets really twisted And I

30:53 They had a hard time believing that he actually did this Martin Nemo are very famous speech. I will read it to you You know this, because we've said that... This is recanted everywhere. First they came for the socialists and I did not speak out because i was not a socialist Then they came for the trade unionist and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews but I did not speak out because I was not a Jew And then they came for me! An there was no one left to speak from me So he's going to speak these iconic and legendary words I will borrow and adapt our current time in place

31:32 The words of Martin Niemoller, a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps. First they came for the immigrants, then I did not speak out because I was not an immigrant. Then they came to scientists, but I didn't speak out because I wasn't a scientist Then they came for the environmentalists, and I did not speak out because i was not an environmentalist. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me." What? Yeah yeah that's insulting! Thank you thank you he's completely taking a Jewish experience away although this uh the guy who said this quote was not even a Jew but he'd spend the rest of his life in a concentration camp

32:23 But this I you know just to do that and to make that comparison and of course we gotta have the Hitler meme in there This is great because not only does he mangled mangle um You know, well Mangel purposely ruined that quote. Now he's gonna misquote Bill Nye! Uh no douchebag it saved the world. Okay not change the world save the world idiot

33:06 I can't say this well, so it's not a big deal. But let me go just a bit further. Let me ask each of you to change the world for the better. Roundly debunked hockey stick. Exactly! I miss appropriates and makes mistakes Well it gets better because then I went looking for this guy say wait a minute He's doing interviews he out there This is from the client the science March because he referenced that with Bill Nye, he marched with bill And someone caught an interview with him which i think was on Reason TV? And I took a clip from it which thought was spot-on for just the bull

33:43 crap from one of the leading guys in this movement. When you consider that, you know somewhere between 97 and 99 percent of the scientific community... Whaaaaat? So here's a scientist who can't even give the exact number of the bullcrap number of scientists who think there's something going on with man-made global warming. Yeah but he didn't say it so he's implying all scientists Yeah, of course. But he's also saying 97 could be 99 somewhere in between when you consider that you know He's jacking it up yeah Somewhere between 97 and 99 percent of the scientific community Recognizes that climate change is real the whole scientific community recognizes climate change is real hey I recognize climate change as real absolutely

34:33 I'm not just not in the way it's happening. And yet at this hearing, I was really the only scientist of the four witnesses representing for the scientific consensus and... Yeah this was um the house hearing on March This was actually in April. The House hearing was on March 29th. The other three individuals have contrarian views about the science, about either the basic science of climate change or denying the impacts that climate change is having so I felt it was important to fight the fact that the deck was obviously stacked against me with three contrarian witnesses

35:11 I felt it was important to make sure that there was a voice for science at that hearing. And, I feel pretty well about the way things went. In the end the other side doesn't have the science on their side. You don't have the science you see! an honest case to make. No, and let me guess because... Wait wait wait is he talking about his computer models that have to be consistent or constantly adjusted for the errors that are inherent to computer models? Is that what he's talking about? And he's calling that science? Yes well okay whatever it is the other side doesn't have it They got computers! no The Science See The Science I don't think it's the same as science

36:00 The science is his science. You understand the subtlety here? I mean, in the end...the other side doesn't have the science! The science not s- it's THE SCIENCE It's subtle, but that's... he's truthful here. He is the god of hellfire on their side and they don't have an honest case to make because the science indicates that this problem is real so that was really the main message uh and again I felt like um The voice of science Science has a voice now did actually get heard at that hearing you have to look at

36:39 you know, their actions and their deeds. The current administration... Donald Trump is a climate change denier. He's appointed to head the EPA Scott Pruitt who is a climate change denier who actually actively worked as Attorney General of Oklahoma to try to prevent the EPA from controlling carbon emissions His Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of ExxonMobil. The largest fossil fuel corporation in the world so there's no mystery here about what is going on. The science of climate change has inconvenient implications for those who would like to see an agenda of ongoing reliance on fossil fuels for energy

37:26 Individuals, corporations front groups who have advocated for the fossil fuel industry now have a very prominent voice in our government. They're represented in the administration of Donald Trump and through congressional Republicans like Lamar Smith who held that hearing a few weeks ago attempting to call into question the overwhelming scientific consensus behind human-caused climate change. What has science done for you lately? The Science is In! Science! Yep, science be in. The science be in and actually the science not be in... Where's our checks from the fossil fuel industry? I know hey Rex where's my Rex checks? Yeah we're a Rex check.

38:18 We had the big G7 summit, where was it this year? It was in Sicily. Yeah, Sicily correct and didn't end well for climate change. There were scuffles in Sicily as protesters tried to break through a police cordon protecting world leaders at this years' G7. The violent scenes came at the end of a summit which also finished in division While US President Donald Trump backed a pledge to fight protectionism, he refused to endorse the major accord on climate change. Italy's Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni said we have noted that six out of seven countries have confirmed their commitment to the Paris Agreement This recommitment also took place at the G7 in Japan last year The United States however is undergoing a review process while there was no deal on climate

39:09 There was broad agreement on ways to tackle terrorism in the wake of the attack in Manchester. The French president said, the debate during the G7 allowed us to advance very clearly in the struggle against terrorism. France has been hit in the last few years by terrorism and I will remind you that the United Kingdom and Egypt in these past few days... The discussion was extremely rich on this subject and it allowed us for the first time to sign a document resulting in a common commitment to fight terrorism on various fronts. Several African leaders also took part in the summit with Italy deliberately holding the meeting in Sicily to highlight the issue of migration, but that only got a mention in the final communique with security trade and terrorism dominating. There you go well that whole thing about the uh terrorism thing was highlighted by I think Theresa May's comment she did it at the event and she did it later yeah this is what she had to say about the internet

40:06 Yeah, there was a couple of things she said. The fight is moving from the battlefield to the internet Today I called on leaders to do more To strengthen its work with tech companies on this vital agenda We want companies to develop tools to identify and remove harmful materials automatically I want see them report this vile content to the authorities And block the users who spread it Oh, block the users who spread it. You should kill the users who spread it! Yeah, kill them all! She said something else too about our Intel leaks... We have a special relationship with the USA It is our deepest defence and security partnership that we have Of course that partnership is built on trust

40:47 And part of that trust is knowing that intelligence can be shared confidently. And I will be making clear to President Trump today, that intelligence that is shared between law enforcement agencies must remain secure." Oh yes! A little ruffled feathers there. Ruffled feathers... Well this stems from the leaking of the guy's name before the Brits released his name. Yep And they which I don't know that and then I don't know who they're even blaming this on but it seems to me It came right out of the New York Times in CBS. It came right from the CIA, right? To the media's right Yes public domain yes, and they said some reason this is Trump's fault well I'm glad you bring that up and let me see do I have the jingle here yeah a spot spook spot the spook

41:38 Everybody wants to spot the spook. Yeah, that's right! Spot the Spook well I spotted him okay who'd you spot? uh i spotted the spook and this is a very interesting spook young guy his name is Brian Dean Wright he worked at CIA in you know what was it...I think he got like foreign intelligence contacts he has a pretty short but very impressive CIA This is not... Okay. What? Well, I'm concerned that this is not really spotting any spook when these guys got a resume that says I am a spook! When you show up as ex-CIA he's now a journalist Yeah You know this is the problem You know you get guy who got beat up and some of these other which kind of got me I guess Yeah yeah I got that too but it seems to be that CIA is doing the world of journalism NO GOOD

42:36 By not only having half the people on the payroll, it seems from Operation Mockingbird. But then to have these guys with the credentials of the CIA out there posing as journalists... This is not a good thing! Wait until you hear this guy he is going to- The way I see it- Where'd you see him? The way I see it on Tucker. Here's what I see that is happening. CIA has been leaking to journalists for a long time And this time, they went too far. And specifically the New York Times went too far and see the CIA is pissed off about it so they send out their team... uh.. and this guy when you listen to his opening statement it's completely rehearsed every single line and he even starts with a big f***ing thing and he launches into it! I was sitting there with Tina like holy shit this guy is reading a rehearsal speech

43:35 Listen, so I'm confused even by the motive of some of these leaks. Some are clearly designed to hurt the new president and some just seem nihilistic and designed to hurt the country itself What is this about? Nobody thinks of consequences anymore do they because if you think about oh yeah when i heard that I went boing-oing-oing what?! This guy's coming with a completely prepared rehearse speech Well that is like a thing that speakers will do Even though you don't do it with a microphone like that Is you take a deep breath and get ready to go. So he took, you know... He says this is... Okay I'm gonna take out his hair. And here it is! This is what we rehearsed. It's the big minute. This is what we've been training for. We can do this come on! He actually needed the control room to go like... What is this about?

44:24 Nobody thinks of consequences anymore, do they? Because if you think about that why did the New York Times run a piece with bloody clothes and bloody batteries. Look it was not in the interest of the nation to see those kinds of details certainly not at this point and arguably ever so what was that really about it was about ego It was about trying to make money New York Times knows if they get more viewers on their website or otherwise more advertisers are going to come to them and more people are gonna pay more money for it. So this was not about informing the American people or people around the world about something that was very important, it was about money and greed. Journalism has become greed in far too many parts of our country. That is deeply disturbing." Wow! Well done son you got it out all on one go

45:10 So that was a scolding. Oh, it didn't stop there! An official CIA scolding of the New York Times And he's going to move on to politicians This is hurting our country I don't think there is any denying that at this point You're absolutely right Historically leaks tend to come from either The Hill or from the White House and what we have seen in the past six months is that we've got some leakers in our national security apparatuses and I think they're doing it again for purposes of their own ego to make themselves feel good or because they are weaponizing political information or intelligence.

45:46 But I have to tell you that they need to remind themselves and whoever is both leaking this and might I remind you, whoever... Oh! They need to remind themselves. Perk your ears up. You're going get in trouble. ...publishing this that there are grave consequences for these choices. Let me give an example. Imagine you're an informant right? You working abroad and you know either the your information is gonna be leaked Or potentially could be leaked. Do you want to sign up for that? You wanna go to that next meeting with... Oh, he's in the recruitment division! I see the problem. He can't get recruits now The CIA officer and MI5 officer or would you want to work with a CIA or the MI5 or Mi6 guys? The answer is maybe not No it's gotta have this has consequences That's why this matters In years... Do you hear this?!

46:29 He has been sent, the agency isn't concerned about what's happening to the country. The agency is concerned that they can't hire people anymore because they're not trusted and this has to stop! based on actual feedback they're getting in the field. I'm sure of it! There is, maybe not... No that's why this has consequences That's why this matters In years past it was the political people who were doing the leaking and now- I used to laugh at the idea of a deep state and then you watch this and you think I mean, that's literally what it is. So let me ask you... Tucker is literally talking to the deep state here which is the thing that blows my mind. One final question why can't the identity of these people be rooted out? If I'm in a conflict with the IRS they can pull my EZ Pass records, my phone records They can find everything about me We can't figure out who's doing this because why

47:20 This has to be a priority by the FBI and that's really what this comes down to. And it is hard thing to find leakers but there are tools out there for... Now, this is little nod to the Feds! The FBI! Hey guys, this is really your job to route this out. Even people within previous administration or this one they still have their security clearances even if they don't work for government anymore those folks can be called to task Did you know that? When you leave, what he just said. Even people from the previous administration still have their security clearances. Yeah I know that That doesn't go away No So they're getting top secret information if someone has it they can give it to them yeah and then they can go ahead and leak it If they want They could actually even be polygraphed so there are... Ooh! I like that hey Now my understanding is the CIA polygraphs everyone once a year Yes

48:16 We've heard this but what he's saying here is politicians and journalists could get polygraphed. Yeah, I think it's a bit overdue. I like that! We're long overdue anymore those folks can be called to task they can actually even be polygraphed so there are There are options, but it has to be a priority. And the FBI has to step up their game. Department of Justice has to make a priority. But no doubt about it journalists have a certain degree of protection of their sources. But there is a breaking point isn't there? I think as a society we want information but there's a point when it goes too far and I think this line has been crossed. Whoa! That's fighting words.

48:53 And for all practical purposes, it's never the case. They got other problems now." There is no way you can over...you can't really unless you don't believe in the First Amendment free speech there is no line to be crossed they could do whatever they want but whose fault is that? That they're putting this information out if its being leaked to them that what are gonna do? So some other issue going on here I think... Yes, the CIA has gone too far. Not the New York Times they just do what they're told and do what they feel like. And of course the CIA's got this recruitment problem I think you properly identified which is not helped at all by that guys are...the Chinese are shooting left and right. The Chinese are just picking guys off the streets and your a CIA guy boom! They execute them

49:45 I don't, you know that's not covered very much. Yeah we had one clip two shows ago i think they don't want to talk about it no what they want to talk about is they already have a recruitment problem apparently according to this guy and they don't need that aggravation they're never going to get anybody to work for them if you're gonna get pulled off the street and shot No, no. This reminds me for some reason of you know not talking about certain things like CIA guys getting shot left and right. Napolitano, this is a story that only Fox is carrying in it's really only Brett Baer that's discussing it to any extreme you probably heard about it but this clip is the FISA court rebukes the NSA. FISA Court we've been doing the story over the past two days really hasn't been picked up anywhere else it was first covered by Circa News

50:36 The FISA court is harshly rebuking the Obama administration for essentially illegal searches on thousands of Americans. And there's not a lot of outrage. It's astounding that it's not a lot about rage, its astoundingly that you have covered more than the networks combined and i don't understand that but i do understand that the five at the uh... fives accord has had an end run run around a buy-in nsa that an essay is been doing massive amount of spines aspiring surveilling capturing every keystroke on on every iphone and every desktop and every uh... phone call

51:17 fiber optic cable in the united states that they can without telling the fisa court about it and the vast majority of it involving tens of millions americans maybe even hundreds of millions of americans is a profound violation uh... before them now for the fisa courts are rebuke nsa is almost but joke there's no sting to the review occurs no consequence to the government You know, it's interesting that you said spike in the ball because I saw this story this morning in the New York Post which was surprising to me. The New York Post loves to butt-slam Trump and they... what is the headline here? Hold on a second

52:00 Is that the post of the Daily News is the one that butt slams Trump the most. The Post is actually kind of on the fence. Agreed, so that's why I was surprised to see it in New York. It was The New York Post and their headline is how Team Obama tried to hack the election nice but again thanks to Circa news and I'm looking at who are these guys? Who the hell are they? Never heard of them. Who is it? Let me see who's funding them Let's do a little work. Circa News, C-I-R-C-A I'd like the War Room to participate in this They have a wiki page let's see also known as Circa Founded by Matt Galligan Ben Hu and Arsenio Santos Who are these guys? See Arsenio Santos Hmm... I don't know who these guys are John. I'm looking at their website

52:55 Well, I couldn't find it. That's that was the thing they have no about page so never with just circa calm Okay there under the ownership of the Sinclair broadcast group okay? Okay So these are the guys Republicans their Republicans obviously yeah, that's sinclair Yeah And these are the guys that their Sinclair is threatening to do a Fox clone Ah, well something's happening because they're being promoted. So these guys are part of that whether or not they're being promoted by Fox. Fox should get a clue and just shut up. Yeah but Circa and Sinclair is and this is a very nice website. Interesting John interesting uh and this is why I think Hannity has taken his vacation yeah he's in negotiations with them.

53:40 Not a dumb guy. So he's gonna go where the money is and Fox, you know, he thinks Fox is out to get him because they're changing everything and... Yeah He'll stay with Fox if they make him an offer No they're firing him this week I guarantee it The Hillary hit list has an open slot Maybe, but I'm not seeing it personally because Fox is...because they look at the ratings and the ratings are slipping. They don't give a crap about the ratings! They want to make sure that 2018 is for the Democrats. Could be. That's not my thesis but if you want to go there, fine

54:20 Whatever the case, and I said that on purpose, Circa and Sinclair are going to...they're seriously considering this. This is not a minor...this took years for Fox to turn the corner on profits. Starting a network which can become extremely lucrative- And it wasn't until Obama became president that they really succeeded? If I recall correctly. who's also not going to come cheap. And these guys could just as soon retire, they'd work their asses off for no money unless they get a piece of the action but Sinclair is one of those operations that is it's not a Silicon Valley if it was Silicon Valley company I would say yes they would do this they would give everybody a piece of the actions. Oh please this broadcast group they're not gonna give anybody peace and nothing. They aren't gonna give anybody anything. Screw ya! You'll be lucky to get residuals. Oh please you don't get residuals on cable

55:28 No, you don't get anything. And that's the point is that I was going to say about residuals is that the only reason they even exist in Hollywood is because of the unions really getting together and then pretty much stopping all operations but that's a small segment of the overall broadcasting scenery and no these guys so they're not gonna do anything it's not gonna work die So I'm predicting this network never gonna get off the ground Well, Sinclair has got the outlets. Sinclair is the operation that could make it happen but they're more dedicated to their little greedy businesses than they are to making a statement like this. This is a big deal. There could be some hot shot coming in from someone you know even as a big executive. Where's Kevin Wendell? You know what get me Roger Stone

56:28 Yeah, so I'm not seeing this as anything. I think what's gonna happen is Hannity is going to go back to Fox unless he gets fired this week, as you suggest and he's just gonna take a lot of money in and go a little more low-key and just ride it out. Hannity seems like... Look, he has enough money He doesn't care about money You know? He could work for free for the rest of his life Who's gonna...? Tell me again that makes that much money who's ever do that No, but I think that he... He could! Hannity has his whole persona is built around his patriotism and doing the right thing for the country. Uh, I fully expect him to do anything necessary to boost his ego that way Well

57:14 I do. This is all looks like it's just that it's not as easy as it looks to start this, I mean Murdoch is the kind of guy and I worked for a guy like this is Bill Ziff was this way they would throw a lot of money at something knowing there was going to lose it just lose it Then they were kind of cheap, but they would do these things. They would do this big money expense thing and just throw bunches of money at something. Knowing that it would lose or just like give it a shot? That's kinda the broadcast model. Throw everything against the wall whatever sticks and the rest you cut immediately Yeah well thats what... But with the broadcast model that Murdock had This was not sticking against the wall that easy No

57:59 Yeah, they have a vision. You guys have some visions I think that helps out. I don't think anyone at Sinclair has much of a vision at least from my experience with them. I actually had my run-ins with them not a run in and I was like the company to be honest about it. Oh okay. Well during the HDTV switchover They were so against it because they knew it was going to cost them a lot of money. It costs all the broadcasters, a lot of money you can't just change the HDTV overnight with no expense. You need encoders man! So you ended up with these guys saying, oh my God. Because they had a lot of stations and they still do and they didn't want to do it. And they had a million reasons why HDTV was no good and ODFM this is antennas... Oh were the guys suing against the OSOs? Yes! That was Sinclair. Yeah okay. I was kind on board with what they were doing then it just turned out to be bull crap Well we could use it

59:01 For more material. You know this will be like World Net Daily's network or Beck's The Blaze. It'll set in... Ah, well that's no good On the other hand we're still here your shining light your guardians of reality That's because we're podcasters Yeah and We can fly under the radar 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 Campus Rape Reportage Dvorak In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry in the morning to all ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs into water and all the dames and knights out there."

Also in the morning to The War Room I want to thank you for being here and let's thank some of our other producers who came in with financial support today Yeah, we have one two executives and one-two is a load that balances but small

1:00:32 But Jacob, or Jacob Tamal in Chicago started us off with a thousand dollar instant night donation and we can't find any note from him. Yeah this is upsetting So we will knight him anyway We can rebuke the Knight if he doesn't want it but as just Sir Jacob Tomow. Yeah, well... T-O-M-A-W We'll do that and we'll give him some karma and hopefully he will send a note You've got karma James Varga comes in as the other executive producer at 3333 Hi John & Adam Been listening for an embarrassingly long time without donating Can't take the guilt anymore Tired of being a dick

1:01:22 Hoping to balance the scales by contributing my value for value received. You will obey Oreos addict Korean lady nuke you will obey you will obey you will obey Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine You've got karma Boom shakalaka. I forget how funny that line is, the Oreos are as addictive as cocaine. Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine! You know what's wild about that? Sometimes I order stuff on Instacart and we pay someone else's child to come bring you something, groceries which i like a lot yeah it's not that much more expensive have someone else do it

1:02:13 But the problem is, I'm not very good with ounces and stuff. If it's kilograms then you know... It's just not in my cultural upbringing so maybe I say like oh I want some Oreos because I like Oreos. I have times when- I'd like a kilo of Oreos! God, I swear to god- You sound like your buying drugs. I got a box of Oreos It must have been like 200 Oreos and they come in what we are now dubbing a sleeve. So you get 10 Oreos in his sleeve, now you can't put the Oreos just close the sleeve up because the Oreos will go bad so it is now known as I'm doing a sleeve of Oreos and yes! Just as addictive as cocaine. Okay onward yeah sure

1:03:01 Sir Repetitious the Stealthy in Greenville, Texas. $250 and 10 cents he'll be associate executive producer for show 933 Howdy gents sir repetitious of stealthy coming out of the stealth mode to celebrate my 61st birthday with fellow Knights dames and other assorted troublemakers attached find a bag full of 610 quarters dimes nickels and pennies ITM Thank you, Sir Reptitious the Stealthy. That's very kind of you thanks for the bag o' coins! Yeah uh sir Johnny O who will be our final associate executive producer for show 933-20101 I never would have guessed that i would have caused so much upheaval over my name choice. I am happy to offer a name change as Sir Johnny O Knight Of Firearms as this better describes my focus Adam please...I don't know what

1:04:00 What his other name was? He wanted to be of the armament and, of course we have in Austin Texas Sir Scott of the Armory. And he raised a question with the Peerage Committee I believe you had that. I do and I guess Johnny O took it upon himself just change his name before the Peerage Committee can make a determination which is fine Adam, please feel free to forward my contact info I sent you the other day to Sir Scott. I'm sure we have a common interest in both firearms and no agenda." Yes Not a bad idea And Sir Scott makes some dynamite If you guys are going to go where are these guys? Where are they? Well sir Scott is in Austin. I don't know where Sir Johnny O is

1:04:40 Well, it might be nearby. I will come to Austin if you guys are going to go shooting." Oh my God! Be careful what you say. You know we have the...I haven't been there yet but we have a brand new range which is really upscale supposed to be fantastic. I would love to go and then afterwards Sir Scott I'm sure would treat us some of his beautiful venison chili which he goes out and hunts the deer himself Does everything. Sounds good, just some general karma for all the night and it's an easy flight for me I mean I can shoot over there back stop threatening And I can also show whoever wants to learn how to cook basmati rice correctly the Iranian style Yes, anyways just some general karma for all the knights and dames would be appreciated alright

1:05:26 You've got karma. I will say we do have one other Paris issue to address since it came up from Sir Gene Navtuliev Yeah, he says hey did I hear on the last show that Jason Daniels requested Duke of the South if so too late? I had that title for well over a year please notify and correct cordially sir gene after almost two years actually yes So has this been corrected no I have not been able to get ahold of Jason Daniels Jason Daniels is is a kind of mystery man. He's one of those guys who donates a lot and then it came to my attention recently because he has subscriptions, almost all the subscriptions. They all came up cancelled

1:06:16 Because I think he changed his check account or credit card something and our income plunged dropped by half Shit So I sent him a note, and he never heard back from me. This will take longer than normal to resolve, I believe. Okay you don't think he just like cancelled it and went ah screw those guys? That's what i was wondering. Trump lovers! The problem with that is the following... It's a rigmarole to cancel if your on that sender. Yeah thats true. And these things came in bang bang bang as though they were done by machine

1:06:59 In other words, they all got cancelled instantly at the same time. That doesn't happen. There's nothing you can do to make that happen except change your credit card or let it expire or whatever reasons they have for... But anyway he is Jason is one of these under-the-radar Duke type It's possible that he You know this happens with our PayPal all the time Where a credit card changes or gets or expires and then PayPal sends you a note saying no agenda cancelled your subscription? it's Possible that he got five. No agenda cancels your subscription. He would not screw those guys in ten screw those guys

1:07:43 Well, could be. No I don't think so because anyone who is that dedicated to the show at these lower levels and higher levels he had a $50 a month subscription generally speaking knows the ropes And they had to have heard at least a dozen times about these bogus notes that you get from... because we don't cancel anybody. No, why would we do that? Out of the blue! It makes no sense that we would if it were Hillary Clinton, we wouldn't cancel you. We'll block your ass on Twitter but we're not going to cancel your credit card Yes, we will definitely.

1:08:22 I still trying to unblock the guy bitching at me and then because like he doesn't his name He's keep saying is I have forwarded his email address and his Twitter address to you so many times Because of course it keeps defaulting back to me. I've sent John this he doesn't unblock me It's his name doesn't exist is Twitter name Yeah. Well, he gave me his Twitter handle I forwarded that to you it's not that important right now it's important no Twitter is not important anyway but anyway these are our four people that we want to thank profusely for helping us out on the show 933 Thank You so much these are obviously real credits since you can use them On The Holiday!

1:09:04 American holiday and we could be out buying mattresses, but no. It's actually a holiday in England too that today is reflective of Is it a religious holiday in England? I don't know but I was watching the BBC and they're talking about some holiday today. Oh is it Red Nose Day maybe? That usually what they sell. Yeah I think we have red nose day coming up. They are trying to introduce red nose day here. No they've been doing that for two years now Well, anyway I want to thank our executive producers, our instant night and obviously associate executive producers. It's very much appreciated we'll be thanking the rest of the people who supported us for this holiday show coming up later on in the program another show is coming up on Thursday We do need you to support us Devorac.org slash N A And your out! You got a cookout, hanging out with family Try propagating the formula just a little bit Our formula is this...we hit people in the mouth

1:10:05 So I definitely want to mention something about the Evergreen College brockus. Yes, I have a clip from that. The students have taken over the campus, a bunch of douchebags and just total douchebag kids. I mean it's unbelievable. You can play your clips but i just want to play the one symbolic clip very short which I think is pretty much summarizes this is the professor who's Jewish and I believe there are some anti-Semite undertones in this protest

1:10:47 But this professor refused to leave the campus when all whites were supposed to leave the campus. Now I have a question about this, is this a new thing? No they've been doing it for awhile but they changed some of the basic rules. Well stop! Why do all whites have to leave the campus? Because just to minimize their white privilege...I don't know. How long has this been going on? Well, he says in this clip the professor says it's been going on before he got there. Damn! He refused to take part this year because the way it was presented, this changed and he figured it was very racist. Do you think? Yeah and so he refused to go and now like students want him fired

1:11:33 Oh, geez. First of all, I didn't... We got it! We got it! Would you like to hear the answer or not? No. No! I just thought it was the best, would you like to hear the answer or not? No! Apparently there was another meeting of the two parties at the school. So actually I have a bit of Professor Brett Weinstein, Weinstein-Weinstein.

1:12:24 He may have been I think my men on Tucker well Is that 50 or so students decided to disrupt the class that I was holding? That morning and demand my resignation Because you wouldn't leave campus because your white Well, they imagined that. I am a racist and that I'm teaching racism in the classroom and That has caused them to imagine that I have no right to speak, that I am harming students by the very act of teaching them. The campus police apparently showed up outside of the classroom. The protesters then blocked their entrance.

1:13:07 I did not call the police, someone else called the police and they were concerned for my safety. But when they tried to come into the building to make sure that i was okay... The protesters blocked them and because um..the issue of policing is so sensitive at the moment The police had to run around and find another entrance to the building Can you just imagine like the Keystone cops? Oh boys we can't go in here! Come on! found a back door to get inside and check with me. At the point they did that, the protesters moved on and corralled the president of the college at his office. They extracted some demands from him among the demands was that there would be a meeting well actually demands is perhaps the wrong word a concession that there would be a meeting at four o'clock in uh... a large room on top of our library building

1:14:00 So, that meeting took place at the end of the day and believe it or not it was far crazier than the video that you just showed. The core demand is that all people of your skin color leave the campus? Your president's a guy called George Bridges? Where was he... Why is he allowing a mob— The way Tucker said that leads me to believe the president is black Is that? No. No, he's a bald white guy looks like an interesting one of these you know this is Tony's it was just he always said his bridges and I was like Todd Bridges which reminds me if you know the heroin actor all people have your skin color leave the campus your president is a guy called George Bridges where were his why is he allowing ma mob to threaten one of its professors

1:14:51 Well, I must say that the story is so strange that it's not even going to make sense to an audience that isn't local to campus. Dr Bridges is allowing this mob to effectively control the campus and they have been in control since 930 on Tuesday morning At this moment, I believe Dr Bridges a set of demands put forward by the protesters and they have said that if he does not accept their demands, that there will be violence. I do not know what his response to those demands is going to be but i know that's taking place at this hour

1:15:37 He has also told the police to stand down. So, while the campus police have a sense of what it is that needs to happen in a circumstance like this they have been hobbled by the fact that they answer to the college administration and And, in fact for several days have been barricaded in the campus police station. I'm deeply... The cops are barricaded in their own police station? Yes, a person and I must say that I am troubled by what this implies about the current state of the left. That's pretty outrageous! Damn

1:16:19 Well, one of the students, Buzzkill Jr. and his wife are both Evergreen alumni. Ah! How do they feel about this? Well they're upset about it and so is one of their friends David Duncan who is a No Agenda listener apparently since he's never donated. He's soon to be an ex-friend of theirs then... No no. Oh okay. JC, like I mean everybody likes the show they just don't like the politics of the show. Because we're critical of Hillary. Anyway he sent me a note saying that if you and i can send you the link to this thing put in the show notes it's a handy online form he says it's the easiest thing to do he says not to bring all these

1:17:06 do all this hand-wringing, but to complain to the state legislature if you live in Washington State. And I'll post that or maybe tweet it and but if anyone just wants to write it and it's just app dot leg dot WA dot gov district finder and then you can find your district and complain, I guess. But complaining what? What do they want? Well, I mean you got to get rid of this guy running the school. How can you...I just don't understand in general if this also happened at Harvard how can you just say oh this is for blacks only or no whites is even worse It's very interesting because it hit me last night as I was thinking and I don't know why came up

1:17:56 But there, before I was divorced you know. I was in circles here remember? I'd go to like the... Remember the guy the drug guy as in not dealing drugs but he made orphan drugs and he said I would never have a Republican at my house for dinner Yes! That that guy? That guy And it dawned on me that they always have these two friends well I haven't seen them in years but they had these two friends Paul and Natalie And they were always at every single party. These are huge Democrats, Paul and Natalie. Everyone's Democrat!

1:18:33 Of course, I'm just no agenda. I'm not left and right doesn't matter and they are independent now But in you talk to them yeah, they're like kind of live in a little small apartment You know way out of town They have nondescript kind of jobs. You know librarian. Yeah Lab something or other but there were both. I think Pakistani or Indian and And it hit me last night. They were the only brown faces I ever saw and they were always there, and that is the inherent racism of people like this. I'm not gonna say all Democrats are all lefties but then I know exactly what these people are thinking oh yeah we don't have any white people and so they were their favorite black you know quote-unquote

1:19:16 Dark color people. Yeah, complete tokens! And just for some reason last night it all came together in my head hearing about this stuff and like man there's a bunch of racist crap going on and it's really from the people pointing the finger Yeah. And this stuff at schools, I just don't understand it... How can you condone that? How can say oh that's okay sure no problem. Well i think personally, I think he should have called in the state police rounded up all the kids and expelled them. Yeah the Guardia Civil. That would be hard to do and especially the kids who were just cussing out of the school president and threatening

1:19:55 the professor in his face and so it very... Actual threatening. Yeah, well one of the things they pointed out in the big meeting was If we, there's like all the students are there and they say if we're so dangerous and we're threatening this guy why is he here? Why isn't he off somewhere. Oh okay yeah that's the logic I got it Yeah there's your logic And so they had a lot of angry blacks that are involved in it Got all the white girls worked up And its a lot of anti-male, anti-white rhetoric The one guy who seems to have a bigger voice than he should Is an extremely gay

1:20:33 Black guy who has like pink ribbons in his ears. He's a oh you got a clip I you know, I'll get a clip of this guy because he goes on and on and he's wearing this tight Oh beautiful shorts really tight shorts and he's got this pink ribbon, and he flips his... He has a show-off gaze like what we used to call the flamer. And he is yelling and screaming about one thing or another. And he is in a lot of the clips that you see on YouTube. I'll go looking for those! It's very funny watching this guy because it's kind of humorous but oh yeah it's really a bunch of screwballs that need to be rounded up and expelled

1:21:13 They're not accomplishing anything with what they're up to. Now this stems from apparently some guidelines or something that were put out about how to hire the next number of professors and it wasn't, they weren't giving enough room... There was not enough room for bringing in a whole bunch of people of color professors and this is what really triggered the whole thing. I got it well I'm so sorry about that sorry everyone has to go through Well, I don't have to go through it. I'm not even near that place. I'm not speaking to you. Sorry everybody Yeah well its really...I find it to be distressing It's extremely distressing what the hell is going on? yeah and its a really nice very this isn't right the irony of this course This one of the most liberal liberal art schools in the country there was no grades

1:22:05 No grades, you just pass? No grades. And not only that but after you get your degree... You can pretty much say you got your degree in anything you want and it will be verified by the school. The school backs it up and they're fully accredited. It's one of the first or one of the earliest experimental schools like Santa Cruz. UC Santa Cruz used to be one of them but they couldn't hang on there. So this is a bunch of... Evergreen is... Geez! I'm sorry. It's the last of these very experimental schools that were developed in the 30s and 40s and 50s. And it's the last to hold out, of the old system with no grades...and you don't even have to show up if you don't want too as long as your in. Is this like Montessori? No its not like Montessori, it's different.

1:22:57 You know, this David Duncan and my son had written a thesis on this whole movement which they wanted to turn into a book. But the two of them dropped the ball! Ah I wonder where that comes from? It didn't come from me. No... Well, I think this is an opportune moment for you to segue into the appropriately teased package and segment you have been preparing for us. Yes we have a segment on campus rape written by a guy who wrote a book which I mentioned in the last show, I had to find my notes to find a guy's name and anything. But we'll get to it. I'll look it up while doing this but the campus rape story began with the teaser that we ran about how these this guy was railroaded by gender studies professor Ed Occidental and this the guy doing the thesis says that just agenda gender studies mostly women

1:23:57 professors that are behind a lot of this where apparently everybody's being raped constantly in the schools and we'll get to what's called the one-in-five myth which is that one in five women on the college campus has been sexually assaulted, which this guy proves to be bullcrap. But let's go to part two of that tease that we played on the last show, this campus rape teaser 2 Duke. Which of course did not make the accused male a criminal His drunkenness was deemed irrelevant. He tried to transfer to another school after being expelled, but his acceptance was rescinded because of Occidental's decision. He is now suing Occidental and I hope he'll win. Now imagine yourself at Duke University home of the infamous Duke lacrosse rape fraud in 2006 which was mentioned

1:24:44 in which the university's president, the administration much of the faculty and media formed themselves into a guilt-presuming rush to judgment mob. Bent on ruining the lives of three innocent young lacrosse players who were falsely accused of brutal gang rape that later was proved to be a total invention Eleven years later, the fates of any accused Duke students are in the hands of people such as Sheila Broderick. Duke's quote gender violence intervention services coordinator end quote Ms. Broderick has asserted that if campus disciplinary panels, and I'm quoting again say he's not responsible you and I know that he is responsible And that at the end of day all that really matters In other words according to this powerful Duke official All males accused by females are guilty no matter what the evidence

1:25:43 The University of Wyoming has an interesting official definition of sexual assault in its disciplinary code. Quote, anything less than voluntary sober enthusiastic verbal non-coerced, continual active and honest consent is sexual assault. By that standard having sex even after clear assent that is less than enthusiastic or non verbal are not quite continual or apparently enthusiastic but later said to be insincere is by definition sexual assault. Boom shakalaka!

1:26:24 Yeah, this guy is Stuart Taylor and the book is The Campus Rape Frenzy. An attack on due process at America's universities Was this on C-SPAN? This particular book? Yeah that makes sense Where else am I gonna get this? So one of the things that was brought up... Let me get this straight so if If I underperform and it's not all that great. If it's not grape, great? It's rape! Yeah if it was not great is rape. Damn yeah it's not great. Okay uh let's go to um let's go to the one-to-five myth

1:27:00 This is what you want as campus rape, 1 to 5 myth one. Now this isn't to deny I should add that rape is a serious problem on campus there are real rapes there are lots of them there way too many of them but the scare that we're seeing is way out of proportion to that problem and the remedies are not going to solve that problem The resulting system of oppression rests on a foundation of statistical myths, lies to put it more directly about the incidents of rapes on campuses and the claim that nearly all accused males are guilty. Most widely repeated you've probably heard this is this statistical myth that one in five college women is sexually assaulted while there

1:27:45 That's a staggering number, outrageously and irresponsibly trumpeted by former President Obama, Vice President Biden and many others. In fact the best available crime statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics indicate that about one in 100 college women is raped and another 1 or 2 in 100 is subjected to lesser sexual assault while there Way too many. A serious problem, but a tenth the scope of the problem that's-that the media are trumpeting. Mmhmm Yeah now he goes on with part two and we don't need to comment much The media he mentions is trumpeting it and they do

1:28:28 If that number were true, if one in five were true it would make college campuses the most dangerous places for women in the country. More dangerous than say Detroit or the other cities that rank highest... Hello Detroit! ...in crime scales even about as dangerous is combat zones like Eastern Germany after World War II when the Russians came through where rape was used as a weapon of war In short the 1-5 number is absurd Yeah okay It's not only absurd, but this kind of leads to this little kicker which I needed to get. I didn't have it on the last list which is listen to this campus rape studies and surveys

1:29:09 Okay, hold on a second. Yeah This myth proceeds from highly misleading indeed fraudulent surveys by prestigious establishment institutions such as the Association of American Universities It's a long story why they want to exaggerate this but they do survey in 2015 and a Washington Post Kaiser Family Foundation survey in 2015 These surveys studiously avoid asking students whether they have been raped or sexually assaulted. Why don't they ask? Because they know the vast majority would say no, and that's not the answer they want So they ask questions such as have you ever had sex when you were drunk

1:29:50 And if the answer is yes, they check you off as a rape. Or have you ever been subjected to unwanted forced kissing? Every Yes is checked off as sexual assault." Yeah well hold on I think that's correct If you didn't want to be kissed and someone was forcing themselves on you That's sexual assault! Yeah I don't think so Oh...I do Okay well good Somebody comes up and gives you their old kiss on the cheek That's sexual assault too or somebody gives you a hug. No, and you don't like to hug people that's the sexual assault that's the way these surveys go I didn't say that no i know but what you're doing is your already kind of giving into the nonsense of the survey I'm not giving it I'm making just stating an opinion I'm not giving into anything I know but I was saying you are part of the problem oh bullshit you know Rolling Stone is the one who made this a problem they're the ones who came out with that complete bullcrap story blew up in their face now he disgusts us at

1:30:49 Yeah, they get a pass as far as I'm concerned. I'm just saying! They gotta pass is what you're saying? You don't say that- you're not saying that as far as I'm concerned they get a pass Okay and fuck me Let's go more next Campus rape in free speech this one you'll like Sure Given the procedural rules that i'm about to discuss your college education Is doomed if you find yourself facing an accusation really of any kind One more example, this one involving the Obama Education Department's redefinition of what was once free speech as sexual harassment. These fields seem like two fields – the free speech problem and the due process problem but they tie together tightly. It is a very… you know sexual harassment by free speech is a very frequent accusation in higher education today

1:31:41 In what the Obama administration hailed as a quote, blueprint for colleges and universities throughout the country. Oh! End quote It got the University of Montana it sort of flailed them to pledge to investigate as sexual harassment any speech of a sexual nature that any other student claims was unwelcome Now speech in a sexual nature according to the government It covers everything from talk in the realm of sexual intimacy or anything at all about the nature of women and men, even if it has nothing to do with sexual intimacy. For example an assertion that women as well as men often tell lies is speech quote of a sexual nature end quote to these campus and government bureaucrats

1:32:32 Under the Obama blueprint, such an unwelcome statement would be sexual harassment even if quote an objectively reasonable person of the same gender in the same situation would not find it offensive. Sorry if I seem to quote too much but sometimes when you see that spin they're putting on ordinary English usage a quote seems mandatory A word about what it does to an innocent young man to be smeared railroaded and expelled from a college as a rapist or even just for things he's accused of saying. I've interviewed a few such young men and a lot of their parents about the horrors, not only are they expelled but they cannot get admitted to another college they would want to go too Their job prospects are under a cloud The reputations are in ruins at their colleges and often beyond In some cases there lives have been ruined

1:33:25 Poof yeah, I didn't realize that they were calling it that the Obama administration wrote up something called the blueprint That's that has that's very very nefarious Right especially if you can say well. You know women joke about women driving We we talked about this long time ago and throughout the throughout the history of the show when Iran my public company There were people downstairs waiting for women to leave the building and they would say, hey did anyone say you look nice today? Your hair is pretty or you like your outfit which by the way is something Adam does a lot. And which I refuse to stop because I believe in complimenting people of both sexes. But we would get lawsuits exactly for the amount that our officers and directors insurance DNO insurance was set for

1:34:21 And this was just for talking, for just saying stuff. It's all sexual harassment. It was very bad. Yeah well it's not getting any better. Let's go with campus rape current conditions summary this will be a good overview. Accused students get no right to an impartial decision maker but rather face extremely biased campus sex bureaucrats who need to appease the federal bureaucrats to keep their jobs It's like having a criminal jury of all extreme anti-male ideologues masquerading as opponents of sex discrimination and facing some penalty if they fail to convict. The so called training of these bureaucrats and other decision makers often includes instructions that say or imply that almost all accused males are guilty, along the lines of Sheila Broderick at Duke

1:35:17 A single sex bureaucrat often acts as investigator, prosecutor, judge and jury. In many cases college of dispensing with hearings altogether Almost all accused students have no right to be represented by a lawyer in campus proceedings. They are often not allowed to see or hear the specific allegations, they often have no right to see any of the evidence including evidence of innocence. Kafka would be familiar with this system there's no ability to compel witnesses or use scientific evidence Accused students are judged under specially, I'm sorry special extremely broad redefinitions of rape sexual assault and consent. All this reinforces a campus climate of presuming the guilt of all accused males That climate is created by university bureaucrats and leaders By many professors especially gender studies By student activists and many other student governments in newspapers these days

1:36:17 by the national and local news media, and even by some state governments as well as by the federal government under Obama. Now when your son hears this kind of stuff—and I know it comes up at the dinner table if it hasn't, it will—how does he feel as a straight white young male in this America? J.C.? Buzz Aldrin Jr.? Yeah He got married! As fast as he could I didn't say he was gay or single. No, he got married! I didn't say it was gay, I said he got married. Yeah what does that have to do with anything? That's what you do that's how you get out of this structure Ohhhh...that's interesting So when you get married then it stops Well once your'e married then this is...I think your partnership will prevent him from getting involved in this sort of thing You're under watch, you've been captured There's a woman looking over ya

1:37:10 Well, something like that maybe. All I know is that he's nothing that he has dealt with. This is distressing! It's very distressing. Oh there are two more clips of Nidorbo sure. We'll do the campus rape rate notation... Right now? Yes. The demonstrably false myth is that college campuses are the most dangerous places in the country for young women. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, for one has stated that In fact young women on campuses are safer from sexual violence than young women typically less prosperous young women living elsewhere according to the same Bureau of Justice statistics although you would have trouble finding any acknowledgement of this in the news media

1:37:53 Still another falsehood stated by Hillary Clinton and by Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, among many others is that the campus rape problem is a spreading epidemic. Epidemic suggests growing right? More and more of this in fact The Bureau of Justice statistics found that from 1997 to 2013, the whole period before and just after this Obama initiative. The campus rape rate plunged by more than half. Yeah well we don't care about the facts No why would we do that? That's ridiculous So we might as well wrap it with the campus rape end story One more real case

1:38:39 Amherst expelled a male student, I'll call him Joe. Based on a claim by female student, I'll call her Anna in October 2013 that he had forced her to perform oral sex more than 20 months before The reality was that she assaulted him, or at least seduced him by performing oral sex when he was blackout drunk in her room. This is on this view. We're going to leave this forum with the Republican National Lawyers Association to take you live now to the US. Even too much for C-SPAN huh?

1:39:15 And you know, they go... They cut to the Senate and the Senate has a guy go up and says, uh, this is adjourned. And he slams down the hammer and they never go back to that. Oh man! That's beautiful. I'm going to give you Clip of The Day for that series. Very much liked how you ended that. That was good. Well done sir. Well done I think that people out there have a male child going to school should be well aware of the situation and consider even if you see anybody in any sort of by the way anyone did once drink of alcohol it's a rape yeah but she got always remember that and uh... you gotta consider

1:39:58 designing some sort of contract so if you ever date anybody they have to sign this contract. Yeah, which would have all kinds of... Can't just do like they do with a... Non-disclosure would be good too. Well maybe we could just have a form on your phone? You know it's just..you don't even have to make your signature just press your fingerprint on it A quickie, you know. It's like hey this is a new gadget! A little amulet that you wear around your neck and you say hey do you wanna blow me? Here just touch your finger to the little fingerprint here and then you consent then we're all good But don't have to consent, you have to consent enthusiastically Press it hard, press it hard Really press your finger down My goodness

1:40:41 It's pathetic. And this is all part of what's going on, that same... That evergreen situation is all part of this You're absolutely right and it's distressing and disturbing and it has to get a lot worse before it gets better in my opinion Well, yeah. I mean the Rolling Stones thing where that woman journalist was taken in hook line and sinker and it saw the light of day because people could debunk it most of this stuff he's talking about here which is well its in his book has never been covered by the media The media is all-in on the idea that one in five women at a college campus is being assaulted Science! It's fact

1:41:26 Yeah, I saw it. I didn't clip it. In fact, I think I clipped and then threw it out a couple weeks ago Jan Wenner was on CBS Morning Show and they said well It was really unfortunate wasn't it? Well you got duped and just kind of glossed over it Sure, he's like oh yeah, it was very sad that happened for him He's not talking about the kid. He's talking about the magazine their journalistic integrity It's really unbelievable. We need a little entremont to clean the palate. Yes, ladies and gentlemen! Just gonna wet your palette a little... change it. Sing it baby!

1:42:13 I had no idea we missed so much fantastic material from Maxine Waters. And, um...I'm going to bring in classic clips! Classic Maxine from time to time because she's just that good She's just that good This is classic Maxine Waters from 2008 Uh this is when, uh...he, who was it? Bernanke? No Who was before Bernanke at the Fed? Right, that guy The big guy married Andrea Mitchell Yeah, well no. The 2008 crisis and the Fed were the... That was a guy before Bernanke, the guy that was married to Ed Mitchell. Greenspan went to Congress said look here's the number, a trillion of 800 billion dollars you gotta pass this and then we had Obamacare. Look! We gotta pass this

1:43:10 And we know that no one read any of this stuff, any of it. One of the bills Nancy Pelosi comes on said we have to pass it so we can read it! Yes correct And here is classic Maxine who takes it just a step further. I'm sad we missed it. package over 800 billion dollars and you got members of Congress voting on it and they haven't read it all when is that going to end well the fact of the matter is you don't read everything I don't read everything what we do is we read what we consider the most important aspects of the bill how much money is being spent in this bill who's going to benefit

1:44:03 from the money that's spent in this bill. Our staffs break it up into different parts, they read it, they feed information to us there are millions of pages of information that go through this Congress and nobody really reads at all Just as you don't read every fine line in every newspaper everyday. You read what you think is most important for you to do your job, that's the way the world works! I must say though my mom and dad have always told me anytime you have to sign a mortgage or anything like that you better read every fine print of it and boy I hate that advice sometimes because it takes me forever but I try and do it because it involves

1:44:41 Of course, that's exactly what you said. You tried to do it! We're telling people who signed all these subprime mortgages out there and all these phony mortgages that they should have read the fine print and now we say what's okay because Congress doesn't read the fine print either on these big bills? What kind of example is that?! I wish all of America read all of the documents put before them. I wish more people reading mortgages understood Everything that was in the mortgage. I wish that I read every piece of everything all of the print that's put before me and like you say You try to do it We tried to do it and we do the best job that weekend just as you do the best job that you can my millennials Stay woke who tries to read yeah, you're doing it with you just like you try to read I don't know Maxine I read the I read everything

1:45:37 I know. I'm not as busy as you are fielding calls from donors, because that's what they do. That's what we have to do or your kids stay in office. That's what they do. I just love me some classic Maxine. Yeah. We can do a whole show about her. Oodles and oodles of fun. By the way one of the guys at this evergreen thing...I just thought about this because she is a millennial goddess He went on about how there's going to be some money for hiring a new professor and he says, you should let us spend that money. I was as he went on and on about it. You should give us the money because we know where we can run this school better than you can. That makes nothing but sense. And all I was thinking was The Noodle Boy. Yeah yeah it's not fair man! We should be able to run it with them when she were paying and we're in charge. I'd pull my kid out of there so fast

1:46:39 Like, yeah you're not going to that school. In fact here grab a microphone you're a podcaster It's back the terror laptop of doom everybody so happy it's back and finally we have some answers about the so-called airport ban that I've been waiting to hear if it is just on foreign airlines or what the deal is finally, which of course would make sense. We've had 10 airports where laptops are not allowed in the cabin they're collected only on foreign carriers not U.S. carriers so I'm kind of expecting this to be an airline thing only but it's got a hell of a lot better very disappointing very disappointing to me from this administration but I don't think either of us really like Department of Homeland Security Kelly very much

1:47:28 And he's turning out to be a right old douchebag. He had two clips here, the first one... I think this was a testimony in the house. Let's talk about the laptop ban, do you think it should extend beyond the 10 airports that it already is? What I have learned in the last 120 days that I was not nearly as aware of prior to that in the military is this relentless attempt on the part of terrorists to blow up airplanes in flight. Ideally, big airplanes with a lot of people. Ideally, a US carrier." This is completely the opposite of everything we've heard so far

1:48:09 Completely the opposite. They're going for small, lone wolves... they just want to pop off a drive down the street kill some people They're not going for the big targets. Yeah steal a car. Yeah I mean this is the opposite of what we've been hearing. Okay! A US carrier ideally on the way Well it's not the opposite actually but in size of it. To the United States we are watching, can't get into it in this group but we are watching a number of very very sophisticated advanced threats right now I obviously wouldn't and it was my decision to make how obviously wouldn't have put 10 airports on the list in March as we look at the threat and how its morphed yeah more often we're looking at perhaps other ways

1:48:56 to reinforce the security procedures at every airport in the world. So it's possible that it would expand Okay, so now he's got my interest. I'm like well why would you expand? Is it just airports and then of course we find out it's just the same old bullcrap game. Pick up on aviation because you're in the process of making some big decisions on aviation and I want to do a lightning round quick questions quick answers are you gonna ban laptops from the cabin on all international flights both into and out of the US?

1:49:34 That's a quick answer. Yeah, well expand a little bit well There's a real threat there's numerous threats against aviation that's that's really the the thing that they're obsessed with, the terrorists. The idea of knocking down an airplane in flight particularly if it's a US carrier particularly is full of the U.S. folks people. I like that! I like his quick... quickly he went from folks to people i don't know why but i liked it yeah he corrected us these are our our people are not dumb folks or dumbed oh people u.s carrier particularly as full of the u.s uh folks people

1:50:12 It's real. You know that I implemented, on the 21st of March a restriction on large electronic devices in the cabins from 10 points of origin. But now let's talk as you say about all international flights both into and out of the U.S., when do you say you might? When are going to make that decision and what is going to determine it? We're still following the intelligence. The very, very good news is again that we are working incredibly close with friends and partners around the world. We are going to end in the process... of defining this, but we're going to raise the bar for generally speaking aviation security much higher than it is now. So and there's new technologies down the road not too far down the road that will rely on But it is a real sophisticated threat and I'll reserve that decision Yeah This is about New Gear everybody! New Gear coming

1:51:11 Bloomberg reports at least four of the largest companies making screening devices say that they are developing scanners so much better at detecting explosives than existing x-ray machines, that passengers could leave laptops other electronics and even liquids in their bags. Joseph Parisi, chief executive officer of Integrated Defense and Security Solutions Inc. says it's a no-brainer! We've developed one of the new scanning machines that has passed initial U.S. government testing It's not if...it's when it is going to happen! Woohoo bitches! Monday! There was a lot of money involved here The thing is as I'm watching this unfold it's almost as if as a sales marketing event Yes

1:51:59 They announced the, oh when ISIS took over the Mosul airport which we reported on about three weeks ago. When they took over that airport they had all of their gear there by the way I think in a lot of situations you can find ways to get hold of this gear if you want to buy it but okay they stole all this gear and then they could practice their new laptop bomb. Yes, make sure you've never seen any evidence exist but it's called backtesting John and how do you even today especially the modern laptop that has no room for even more electronics You're slipping a bomb into the thing and so the laptop still works. Remember when you used to go to the airport, you had to boot your machine? Oh my god do I remember! And if your battery was empty it'd be like fumbling getting all sweaty and like well it's not turning on they're stepping back slowly hold on hold on let me plug it in don't plug it in

1:52:53 And so they had that moment, and now they... which they stopped doing because it was ludicrous. And now they've gotten to this new mode where the thing is so... some new fancy bomb more explosive than C-5 I guess? I don't know how they did that but I guess they did And this is just nonsense. It is just a money play, the other machines have been sitting there they've been working but no now we gotta do something new and it's I don't know why because those machines cost a fortune every airport gonna have to have a bunch of them how many lanes you got? You got 10 lanes right? We gotta get by ten machines. It's an interesting company this what was their name here International Defense & Security Solutions Inc

1:53:41 They don't, they seem to primarily make infrared stuff. Here they've got high repetition rate long range LRF target finders target precision target acquisition range checker... They don't mention anything about their screening products but they're good, they're ready to go! Well, maybe they bought some other company. I mean these companies do consolidate possible. I mean whoever made the puffer if you remember that device we had that was great to puffer the buffer. The buffers all there all the puffers were taken out of service and they're in a warehouse someplace cause they didn't work or where they got too many false positives. I don't know what the deal was. I always thought it was a funny idea. Can they puff to see like go into this closed tube and it would

1:54:34 Puff air all over you. Puff, puff, puff, puff and you feel it blowing all over is kind of funny Yeah And then it would suck the air out of the chamber assuming that if you had any ammonium nitrate on you just as residual material It would get caught they would catch it and you could be pulled aside to see if you're carrying a bomb yeah Yeah that failed miserably Yeah did fail. Failed miserably but was kinda fun I always thought there was a funny device Puff, puff, puff, puff Meanwhile, really disappointing coverage on a huge event.

1:55:11 And where is the tech horny... well, we know. Where is any tech press on this? British Airways has resumed flights from London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports after a major IT system failure grounded planes although further delays and cancellations are to be expected The airline warned passengers to check the status of their flights before traveling and pledged to rebook or refund customers affected by the IT outage All BA flights out of the major UK air hubs were cancelled on Saturday, causing chaos for passengers who were left stranded at the beginning of the bank holiday weekend. The company's check-in and operational systems were affected by the worldwide computer system crash. BA blamed the outage on a power supply issue citing no evidence of a cyber attack." This is a catastrophic meltdown

1:54:34 Puff air all over you. Puff, puff, puff, puff and you feel it blowing all over is kind of funny Yeah And then it would suck the air out of the chamber assuming that if you had any ammonium nitrate on you just as residual material It would get caught they would catch it and you could be pulled aside to see if you're carrying a bomb yeah Yeah that failed miserably Yeah did fail. Failed miserably but was kinda fun I always thought there was a funny device Puff, puff, puff, puff Meanwhile, really disappointing coverage on a huge event.

1:55:11 And where is the tech horny... well, we know. Where is any tech press on this? British Airways has resumed flights from London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports after a major IT system failure grounded planes although further delays and cancellations are to be expected The airline warned passengers to check the status of their flights before traveling and pledged to rebook or refund customers affected by the IT outage All BA flights out of the major UK air hubs were cancelled on Saturday, causing chaos for passengers who were left stranded at the beginning of the bank holiday weekend. The company's check-in and operational systems were affected by the worldwide computer system crash. BA blamed the outage on a power supply issue citing no evidence of a cyber attack." This is a catastrophic meltdown

1:56:05 labor union leaders came out immediately and said, well it's because you're outsourcing everything to India. But the only piece of news I could get about the cause of this is power supply that's what they're saying a power supply went down okay now let me just tell you a little bit about British Air i happen to know some of this because my main competitor back in the 90s agency dot com They had the British Air, BA account. I was always very jealous of that because it was a beautiful account and the British Air was very forward-looking in what they wanted to do online and they're very big on IT and technology and they changed their data center infrastructure management known as DCIM to a company called Raritan couple years ago

1:56:56 And these guys, they got huge and we're talking huge infrastructure. Six data centers this is not just like some power supply and in fact this DC track as it's called from Raritan boasts in their own press release about this integration the following British Airways is now using DC track across its data center infrastructure to manage server power and network connectivity Any plan changes are first put into DC-TRAC, instantly identifying which racks have cooling power space capacity using its extensive library and interactive floor plan. All approved moves and changes are made using the work order system within DC-TRAC to ensure physical assets are connected to the right rack

1:57:38 This is supposed to never happen with this fabulous product. I'm sure we have some dudes named Ben and dudettes named Bernadette who may just have some insight into the DC track data center infrastructure management system and solution You know, this is one of the interesting things going on. It's been going on for probably over a decade or longer which is you have a situation like this where they airline system goes down and there's not a reporter in the world that can actually explain it to anybody. They never do, they don't even try. They don't even go as deep as you just did. It's just like oh... glitch! They said it was a power... it's a glitch. The glitch problem, the glitch explanation suffices and is really kind of pathetic

1:58:29 that I looked at the Twit network, this week in Enterprise. None of it! Nowhere! Nothing! Nothing! I'm genuinely interested in what happened This is huge The follow on to the domino effect of this happening Is severe And this is a very bad time for this to happen

1:59:13 No kidding. So I'm disappointed and if anyone has any info on the DC track solution... Yeah, we'll report it if we get anybody to help us. Meanwhile they... so I was going to say just one little funny bit there was a Thompson air which I think is a holiday charter outfit and they had to have everyone deplane get off or can't fly because this could have been you Because someone had a hotspot on board that said, that had his SSID name, Jihadi. Oh! Everyone off the plane? That's like the guy who floats around I've seen him a couple times The FBI surveillance van Oh yeah oh yeah i've seen that here too Yeah thats very funny A lot of people do that I use Klingon Empire When I was in New York someone had Hillary Clinton's email server I thought that was pretty funny

2:00:07 As an SSID name. Mimi found one the other day which was, I'm not good at naming hotspots That was the SSID. I'd like to know what people name their hotspot's They don't- most of them are not creative You can go on like right now and look at this list Oh yeah you look at your lists i'll look at my lists And they're very boring Oh, you got me as a new Klingon Empire. And if you're coming in for the guest network it's guests of the empire okay now here's the rest of these locals that have nothing AT&T 600 security AT&T 9 sysq 3 and 4 AT&T dhcu9 wa I go down home home

2:00:58 Well, here's one. MAUI 1, that's kind of cute. Xfinity Wi-Fi WTATNT AT&T Oh! The surveillance van. There it is. The FBI surveillance van very low outputs I don't know some and then hidden network Hidden? That's my favorite. Hidden Network Well, come on people get out to name these things something. Yeah, you know never have your kids or yeah People are boring in my building here Let me see we got a lot of HP printers moto v moto that They're pretty close to the HP printers giving you a signal. Yeah HB printer B 9h be print f0 Now I got nothing exciting here nothing now they're boring but I like I think I think that's rather interesting and

2:01:50 So have you been seeing watching even watching some television you've seen any of the Wonder Woman You know views someone said that there was a big fracas over it, and I have not looked at it. What's going on well? I don't have anything about the fracas. I don't know what that what that's about. I'm just yeah this protest I hear people are mad about it There's something going on with it Well maybe it's, I don't know she's an Amazon goddess supposedly and... Well i know that she had shaven armpits. That was a problem because that was not uh it was the armpit hair. And I think that's cultural appropriation? Yeah I think they put digitally put some armpit hair in there well whatever

2:02:35 If you see any of their trailers, this is kind of besides the point I'm gonna try to make. You see any of the trailers? It's an incredibly violent film. She is busting through walls she's clapping, banging her wrists together and killing everybody in the city. Killing men probably mainly mostly man of course yeah And she's butchering people left or right it just looks like just a blood fest from beginning to end. Dynamite! We must see that in IMAX. It would be even bloodier in IMAX now so they had the actress on, on the Kelly and

2:03:14 What's that Ryan Ryan Seacrest is now as a full-time he took a gig Kelly Ripa and yes the morning show on ABC yeah there so they're so I'm secret Cress is doing that no permanently Jesus when does the guy sleep I don't know what and i don't know how he's time to do that. And doesn't he live in Hollywood? Yeah, well the show I think comes from New York...I don't know. Well I think there's two of us too. There's two Brian Seacrests that wouldn't surprise me So now thinking about the bloodbath and the head chopping and the brutality and the smashing through walls

2:03:52 Here is the Wonder Woman actress discussing her character. She's very annoying, she's an Israeli who is full of herself. So how would you describe her? What is it about this character? She's just amazing. For me, it is mind-blowing that this character has been around for 76 years and only now we get the opportunity to tell her origin story but there are so many beautiful things about her she is all about truth and justice and love and compassion and acceptance I think more than ever these values are so relevant

2:04:36 And we made sure to capture those messages in a very sweet way. It's funny as I'm looking at you, I'm thinking like oh you so fit the role You look like a woman of female empowerment icon to me. You fit that role very well. Is it a Disney movie? That is on ABC and they're not critical of it I don't think. Or some ABC related property possibly? Oh my goodness! But it's about this and that, what bull crap is a bloodbath?! Yeah. That's very annoying. I did find out something interesting the other night so we had a dinner and one of the people at the dinner was one of the Sony executives. Ah okay

2:05:29 And I found out a couple of things. I found some stuff about the North Korean hack, and there's this suspicion... A lot of people think it was an inside job still. But the thing that struck me most was this assertion—and I think Wonder Woman is part of this—that…And I was watching a show on ABC last night 2020 which used to be investigative journalism thing has become a dating show is that the studios have all decided, and you know Hollywood they all think whatever one decides they'll decide. They've all decided that the big market that they have to really go after hard is middle-aged women

2:06:13 I find this to be what? Middle-aged women. So you're gonna see a lot of movies... And middle age is 40, is that what we're calling middle age? I guess it's 40 but the thing that was on ABC was about a woman who had gotten divorced and she's now living with her 14 year old daughter and she's dating again like an old woman dating And it's about, it's the same thing. It's about these middle-aged women that apparently there are just... There is a big audience of middle aged bored middle age women that they think they can do movies for and get their attention and get them out spending money on... I can tell you exactly what this is! That makes nothing but sense to me

2:06:57 They're going after the disenfranchised Hillary voter. Yes, exactly! That's exactly right and I think there is a big market because you can do all kinds of stuff that will just make them feel good. Outstanding And so we're gonna see that for the next few years and anybody out there who's catching movies you can give us some analysis. You just notice this trend of getting middle-aged... My wife was very, she's very adamant about this she says that she's against it and she says its pathetic

2:07:33 And especially the show that we were watching on ABC 2020, where this woman was trying to get a... you know she's trying. She had to choose between men and she couldn't make up her mind. She was very annoying. There is kind of... You've run into these women. Someone just sent me a note. Spinsters! Someone just sent me a note about the movie that the movie takes... Now remember she is an Israeli The movie takes place in Germany World War II And she kills a lot of Germans, which of course is okay. But there's some interesting... you know, take into account that it's very violent and that she's an Israeli and you're killing Germans. It sounds like a lot of stuff going on there. Could be! Yeah Hitler, you know? It's like battling Hitler. So maybe this is possibly the real start in the first of a whole bunch of movies

2:08:32 I mean this makes nothing but sense. You're a disenfranchised Hillary voter, let's go kill some men particularly Hitler. Are you with me? Trump! Something that i got excoriated for a long time ago in the tech horny press has now come to light and a lot of people It finally solves a question I've had. When Google Voice first came out, they purchased something called Grand Central if i'm not mistaken and then they integrated that and you could make calls through your browser and you needed to approve Google's use of your microphone And I believe it also simultaneously probably activates your camera or maybe if you have a webcam with camera...or a camera microphone but microphone for sure

2:09:24 And if I had a, it'd have to be $100. But if I had some money for every single time someone says you know... I'm on the phone, I'm talking to my friend we're talking about our dogs and then I go online and get all kinds of dog food advertisements! And I said years ago this is not a good idea don't let Google listen to you those guys I do not trust. And uh..I don't know if you caught this story Google has now removed apps from the App Store that had been using ultrasonic frequencies to track users. And it would work in multiple ways, mainly if you were watching TV they put a high frequency tone beacon into a commercial or some other piece of content and your phone would receive this and then take action

2:10:20 usually in an advertising manner. 35 different, no I said four out of 35 stores the team visited in two European cities had already been using the ultrasonic beacons as a company in San Francisco that was making these and so this probably solves the big mystery which is how you were... Google is pushing it on app makers but they but it was actually happening Advertising was taking place. You think about it from the Google perspective, totally logical idea and it's interesting because I at one point when I was really hard and heavy into the ham stuff, I came up with a demo. It didn't work too well. The demo was you could have an app on your phone and it would send out Morse code in ultra high frequencies which then another app could hear to his microphone and decode and it worked at about three foot distance not much more than that

2:11:21 I'm surprised that it works through television. You'd think they filter out certain, maybe not with 4K but they filter out really high frequencies but this is pretty despicable! I am going to go back and say that from Google's perspective you have your Android phone on your pocket usually and is ON unlike my phone which is generally OFF or not even carrying it BUT I am different But most people have their phone with them and they have it in their pocket, and you go walk into a Target. Target can send out a signal saying they visited Target. And then you're now, not for any other purpose but to put in the database that you are a Target customer. So your another customer of sport five gun shoppers where they can profile you based on your habits when you're floating around

2:12:18 And then by profiling you, they can convince some stupid advertisers that they got ya nailed and they know that you wanna buy their product which is nonsense by the way. It's an old version that used to be called psychographics. Came right after demographics. Psychographics was the next big thing. Well, psychographics had a good argument it was the same kind of thing this is pre-internet they used to do magazine subscriptions, the psychographics guys instead of you want to send a direct mail to people that subscribe to Home and Garden. You instead would go to a database company and these database companies are all over the place and they would consolidate the mailing list from this guy in that guy in this guy in that guy and then you could profile somebody say well is it person who subscribes to Guns & Ammo and Housin' Garden and Country Living? This is what they would buy for sausage

2:13:15 It's bullcrap. I mean, it's an interesting idea but... Yeah yeah well I think- I'm gonna see if there is an app for my phone and i'd love to be able to detect these high frequency signals See if they're coming through Now im sure there are some apps that may have that capability And If not Im going to get me a service dog You know the minute the dog goes crazy you know There we go You need to train your dogs to recognize those frequencies Dogs hear crap like that all of time Well maybe the app is easier don't have to feed them Yeah, well... I'm just thinking about it and we talked about neural marketing in regards to oxytocin. You know spray some of that stuff everyone oh so lovely in here! I want to buy something yeah maybe this is going on maybe a lot more this is going on

2:14:02 Well, I know at all the wind facilities in Las Vegas. Yeah they pump in fragrance and oxygen. Yeah they pump in a fragrance and I think some oxygen too but it's always just... When you first walk into like the Mirage has the most of that as far as I can tell. As soon as you walk into the lobby go, oh this is nice! I think I saw Gamble! It's a coconut, kind of a coconut banana vanilla smell of some sort. Well the bottom line is I'm very happy that we don't have to go through all this to continue to produce our outstanding product In fact, we don't even know how many people listen to the show because we don't need to tell any advertisers that or make up some story about... Yeah well you know yeah of course if they downloaded it they listened to it. Sure absolutely I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could deal with that Oh yeah! That'd be fab! On NO AGENDA morning!

Haha he's go so many beats I've got The View as a beat Ah yeah The View Yeah you know who was on The View they've got some great guests Oh they had nothing but the- It's the best show ever! I know Donald Rumsfeld

2:25:02 Donald on the view he must be promoting a book yeah, and when you have actually I mean you have Sonny Hostin who was of course a lit a Litigator or former she's a prosecutor whatever. She's a lawyer What do you think they keep pushing for there's only one thing only one correct answer? They want his imprisonment close it starts to i-word oh Impeachment. Oh impeachment, yes. This was a very tough day for the women at The View. And you know I see some similarities right now going on. There was a break-in in the Watergate complex In this case there was a Russian break in on the internet Similar no? There are other things that I have here

2:25:45 There were many similarities. He fired out, what's his name? Archibald Cox the lead investigator Trump fired his elite investigator. So hold on a second So what we're talking about here is a obviously, a talking point list that Hillary's people put together because this is what Hillary talked about in the speech that you quoted from. How beautiful is that? It's just it's synchronicity! It's not coordinated...it's just coincidence. No, it's just a coincidence. She's got Archibald Cox at the tip of her tongue at all times. And these similarities he fired

2:26:22 What's his name? Archibald Cox the lead investigator Trump fired his elite investigator call me. Call me I think drawing those Suggesting that we're at a point that approximates Watergate, I think is a stretch you know what Don I really Wait wait wait wait! You're on The View man what are ya doing What are you doing? I think it's a stretch. You know what, Don? I really believe this is because we the Russian interference We have a foreign nation interfering with our election. You don't think that that's unbelievably sad This is a great interview. Yeah, I like Rumsfeld. I'm not sure Why he did that maybe does have a book but just he pushed back for this country Gary and there's Gary is scary I mean Find out what the investigation proves, but we don't know the answer if it's true Should he be impeached if it's what? What is his administration colluded with the Russians to win this election?

2:27:23 Why do you want to engage in hypotheticals? Because it could become a reality. I want to engage in hypotheticals because... Why do you want to engage in hypotheticals? Because it could become a reality This man was elected president of the United States, there is an investigation on the subject that you've cited which is perfectly appropriate Every administration has investigations Nothing has been concluded but I have a sense that you may be jumping to conclusions No but one of my goals is not to... But its a hypothesis She's not jumping to conclusions when she says it is a fact that the Russians interfered in the election. We know that for a fact! Do we think other countries haven't had messed around in our country before? Lots of countries are interested in making mischief in our country. So, so its okay then? No its not okay.

2:28:16 of the United States. Yeah, but you're taking a leap from another country horsing around in our business. Horsing around? And collusion and there is an enormous difference. But if there was collusion isn't that an impeachable offense? What do you have to take to watch that stuff? Are you smoking dope? Oh yeah, I am completely. Drinking whiskey? Yeah, completely doped up what do you think man Hey, just a quick little news blurb. Sad that no one's really talking about him he died at the same time a musician died Oh bad luck for you Zbigniew The former US National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski has died at the age of 89 The son of a Polish diplomat He was national security advisor during Jimmy Carter's presidency His time in office was marked by Iran's seizure of the U.S embassy in Tehran and he helped to secure the release of the embassy staff held hostage

2:29:19 Yeah, you know but of course we had Greg Allman die and overshadowed it. Overshadowed it all. So sad I have what I have here is It's like a short package really its when We played the clip of that journalist who was crying about being body slammed. He was body slammed And we obviously correctly predicted that this would all be blamed on Trump. And I have a nice little package of examples which...

2:29:54 Which I think is just beautiful from every single news outlet you can imagine. Let us start with CNN You've got this kind of culture of, the reporters are the enemy going on and it depends And you see a lot of Democrats pointing the finger at the president right now saying you've created you've helped to create At least this culture where people consider reporters to be enemy of the people. Exactly, it certainly creates an environment in which this is somehow okay to hate reporters and that sometimes fists fly And this isn't subtle This isn't the President of United States calling the press quote enemy of the American people A lot of rhetoric in his rallies over the course of the campaign where people at the rallies

2:29:19 Yeah, you know but of course we had Greg Allman die and overshadowed it. Overshadowed it all. So sad I have what I have here is It's like a short package really its when We played the clip of that journalist who was crying about being body slammed. He was body slammed And we obviously correctly predicted that this would all be blamed on Trump. And I have a nice little package of examples which...

2:29:54 Which I think is just beautiful from every single news outlet you can imagine. Let us start with CNN You've got this kind of culture of, the reporters are the enemy going on and it depends And you see a lot of Democrats pointing the finger at the president right now saying you've created you've helped to create At least this culture where people consider reporters to be enemy of the people. Exactly, it certainly creates an environment in which this is somehow okay to hate reporters and that sometimes fists fly And this isn't subtle This isn't the President of United States calling the press quote enemy of the American people A lot of rhetoric in his rallies over the course of the campaign where people at the rallies

2:30:35 expressed a lot of anger and hostility to the press and reporters, and it's part of a larger pattern we should be aware of. This is up for the people in Montana to send a message. I agree. Go ahead, Corrine. Going for a seat in Congress right now—and I don't know how familiar your viewers are with how reporting works around Capitol Hill—but reporters walk up to lawmakers that's one of the beautiful things about covering Congress you can go straight up to the lawmakers House members senator put a microphone on their face ask them a question this is how it works it happens like this all all the time. So this is just a little preview episode of what life is going to be like if he wins, and you can't body slam the reporters. I've never had that happen in the Capitol. Body slam! This body slamming thing man... I love that. Well apparently according to one witness, he not only body slammed the guy but threw him down jumped on top of him and started punching him profusely when the guy said, You broke my glasses! Do you have a clip of that? No! Wow. Well here it might be in here this Gia Conti and The Journalist

2:31:31 Oh, I... okay. I hope it's in there! Republican Greg Gianforte is heading to Washington to represent Montana in the House He won a special election yesterday The day after he was arrested for body slamming a reporter Body slamming! Danny Peterson is in big sky country In victory, Republican Greg Gianforti was first happy then humble I should not have responded in the way that I did And for that, I'm sorry. And you're forgiven! GM40 faces charges of misdemeanor assault. So many... And by the way, I have the original of that which I pulled as a clip Let's just- I gotta stop ya Hold on this is great hold on a second so let me just your clip is fantastic in that regard okay

2:32:18 Let's listen to the actual recording. Now you hear the level of that audio Let's play it again for you. Sorry, and you're forgiven It's a little bit in the background nice that but they clipped him to they edited his little spiel So this is a fake clip just fake big news was so again here's his thing that I did and for that i'm sorry And now let's listen to your clip also wait Also besides the level being down there was a longer pause than the one you're gonna play now

2:33:07 Yeah, and I'm trying to think no. I didn't cut anything out so i'm trying to think what that is okay Let me just uh let's go again here did and for that? I'm sorry Okay now let's hear yours and for that. I'm sorry Sweetened that much let's make sure you sweetened it yeah Now why would CBS I think, you know it's just like kind of counter-programming. CBS punched that up for a reason. If I was cutting this thing, I would have left that out because its funny but you only do it to ridicule the woman its like oh this guy beat up some reporter and then this crazy Republican woman It is dishonest journalism. I don't care...it is dishonest journalism You manipulated that

2:33:58 Yes. You manipulate, that's dishonest! It's a minor thing. Yeah. It's minor maybe but it's dishonest and not okay. Well this is what I've been saying about CBS week after week which Which is they, you know, they ask a question and somebody will give a different answer but the brain accepts the question as positive or it's a real thing. Aren't you sure? You're pretty sure he's a douchebag?" Then it goes to another person and that guy says, yeah I did buy a Ford but it was last week." It's like a complete non sequitur! And they do this all of time. This is very dishonest operation. Well let's... should we get back to the media being douchebags? Or do you want to play the rest of your clip?

2:34:38 What was the rest of it? No, you can play the rest of my clip just to finish it. Whatever it is. He was first happy then humble I should not have responded in a way that I did and for that I'm sorry And your forgiven! GM 40 faces charges of misdemeanor assault and will have to appear in court Wait there's something he said I apologize in the original clip and here they only said he... I uh... I'm sorry for what I did Yeah but thats not the original sequence He said, I apologize. I said they edited that too! So dishonest. Have to appear in court before June 7th but some in the crowd said the fault belonged for being too aggressive Eric Jacobs voted for Gianforte In the old days it used to be a man could step out and solve his problems man-to-man I think there has to be a period where people draw their

2:35:31 draw the line. The debate has now reached well beyond Montana. Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh also seemed to defend GN40. This manly, obviously studly Republican candidate took the occasion to beat up a pajama-clad journalist... And just this morning Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott pointed to a bullet riddled target and actually said this. Some say this anti-press sentiment is being fueled by President Trump A few days ago I called the fake news the enemy of the people, and they are! They are the enemy of the people

2:36:15 It's really a game changer. Joel Simon is executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists When journalists are doing their job and asking tough questions, and sometimes being a little pushy that that would somehow justify some sort of physical attack That's unacceptable And we have to speak out about that America is a long ways away from the kind of attacks, sometimes including murder that journalists have suffered in other countries. The worry is that violence aimed at journalists here could be an ominous step in that direction." Oh yeah this what it's all about. They blame it on Trump... What was it Trump said?

2:36:56 Yeah, the mainstream media is the enemy of the American people. Yeah that's exactly what you would think he said... ...the way this whole story was presented but what he actually said and you have the clip of it You heard it but you didn't hear it because what he said was fake news is the enemy of the people Holy crap! Holy moly crap I need help Everybody needs help. Where was that? I want to hear it again It was about beyond halfway Okay, let's go by that you got me with that one Republican candidate took the occasion to beat up a pajama-clad journalist and just this morning Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott riddled Target anti press

2:37:53 is being fueled by President Trump. A few days ago I called the fake news the enemy of the people and they are, they are the enemy of the people You're right! You're right? Did that give you a plus one? I deserve it. CBS deserves a plus two for being able to pull that stunt on me On you. Geez, who listens? Jeez I must be tired jeez I can't believe that that is the definition of fake news right now that is completely dishonest journalism yeah I don't know what if there's any honest journalism so all of the reporters all the press they're all on and they're carrying how man are you sure he's never said the media are the enemy of people he's never said that huh

2:38:41 Let's see if we can find it. Well you might find something like that, but this in this way in his report Yes in his report and I would say this let's just be honest about this if they had that clip That's what they would put it in there. I agree Let's listen to Andrea Mitchell. What is the political impact of this? And take a step back, because a lot of my colleagues have worked alongside this reporter. They say that he is very even-tempered person and there was nothing Ben Jacobs did to elicit this kind of response But there's so much hostility frankly to the press a lot of agenda and gen generated by You know the Donald Trump rallies frankly and a lot of my colleagues faced The blowback from that, so this is kind of an extension of that is it not no Because what we're not seeing is. We're not seeing the crowds attacking journalists This is another politician now Let's check out MSNBC how much blame has

2:39:41 should the president get? How much responsibility should he bear given a fair amount of the rhetoric that's been aimed at the media. Well President Trump has certainly set this up for about a year or so with the media being the enemy, even referred to himself talking about the enemy of the people I think it's not unreasonable to think that when a member of Congress, a candidate for congress behaves this way he's been influenced by that kind of cavalier attitude toward was really a constitutionally protected form of engagement in our society. Yeah, let's make it—you know this is the distinction that has to be made very quickly. Freedom of the press does not mean you can just

2:40:24 come into my space. That means you can write, you can publish, you can do what you want it doesn't mean that you have the right to come into my office or if you ask me a question that is not the right of the first amendment but its being changed before our very eyes its a constitutional right for the press to be assholes no its not really they can write as douchebags but thats not constitutionally protected Here's Joe Scarborough from the Morning Joes. It's insane that this would happen, a guy is asked again about CBO scoring for a health care bill and how he's going to vote and he completely explodes beats this guy up pushes him into the ground you have Fox News camera crew there verifying that that's exactly what happened Fox News reporters very... What? That's what he was saying Where is the clip Oh they don't have any clip

2:41:25 They weren't rolling camera. They just testified, you know what else would happen? Exactly what happened Fox News reporters verifying that but you know Mike Barnicle I'm sorry yesterday we joked about being able to draw a straight line from Donald Trump To some of the things that he's being investigated for You can draw a straight line from Republican candidates thinking that sort of behavior is okay when you have Donald Trump berating reporters throughout the entire campaign saying, suggesting terrible things calling them using the Stalinist term enemy of the people a term so offensive even in the Soviet Union that Khrushchev outlawed it after Stalin died. Okay You have Katie Tur being berated you have well Mika Brzezinski being berated by Trump Mika Brzezinski who is the biggest douche towards the president just calling him and calling him an insane

2:42:25 Oh, I'm sorry. You're Boffner? Yeah. Trump you have... CNN! All of CNN it's dangerous for CNN reporters sometimes to go into those arenas because Trump is whipping people into a frenzy this This has- Although that has not happened this is what they're missing This was a politician this was not the crowds Not a big leap from what The head of the Republican party is saying every day... Is he the head of the Republican party? I thought Prebys was. Technically, yeah. What happened last night in Montana? Well on that straight line Joe you can track all candidates prior statements about the media. The media's against us, the media is against you, the people

2:43:11 And it leads inevitably to something like this and it also leads inevitably just such a pathetic statement that the campaign release which discounts the one thing that the media, the press is after truth. It completely discounts the truth of what happened. Okay, the truth. Truth! You mean the truth? Two more in this series now we have Jennifer Rubin who was a reporter for WAPO. Yeah, before you go on... Jennifer Rubin is a classic example, and the WAPO does this better than anyone else of a straw man.

2:43:49 She is billed and she came, she's a... all you do is look at her. She is a liberal Hillary supporter by look and feel and what she writes about. True They have decided to do this This is a very good ploy To make it look balanced, SHE has been assigned to be the Republican blogger WHAT?! Yeah, you look at her bio at the WAPO. No! Jennifer Rubin is the conservative blogger representing the conservative perspective Yes Well that makes nothing but sense She's right on point This is absolutely stunning First of all that he would be threatened apparently by a meek question You heard on the audio A very politely posed question And there are ways

2:44:40 manner in which candidates say I don't want to talk to you or go as he initially did, go talk to my communications guy or scram but physically accost someone throw them down on the floor potentially injure them. What is wrong with this man? This is really sort of appalling and I do want to say that there is a cost to continually berating the media There is a cost labeling these people Myself included. Enemies, the opposition continuing to berate them calling on crowds to hoot and holler at them you create an atmosphere in which these people are not treated like human beings And although I'm sure the president did not intend for this particular candidate to do this that is the end effect when you begin behaving that way The fish rots from their head The tone of politics in the country is set by the President of United States Now he's a rotting fish head

2:45:35 is a rotting fish in this she's supposed to be a conservative representing that's fantastic sending him hey and those crowds they're hooting and hollering john that's dangerous so here's the one thing that no one wants to bring up especially the media uh and they did this is their real problem that the democrats have and they know it, they know it's a problem. And then it shows up in comedy acts once in a while which is you run a guy who is like up for every sort of ridicule, never been in office before and they run Hillary against them and she loses. And it's like how could... the joke is in this regard is how can you not beat Donald Trump in a general election? Are we that bad at what we're trying to do? This is the story about this guy same thing

2:46:25 How can this guy's like a big bully, punching some guy out and there are witnesses that I'm getting slugged. Yeah he broke his glasses yeah and you can't beat him? What is wrong with the Democrat Party?! There is something fundamentally wrong with the Democrat Party! You're right They're not discussing that. Oh, they're talking about rotten from the fish head and all the rest of it. You're right you're right no No one wants to say why can't we beat this guy? And who is running the show? Who's running the Democrat Party do even know is it still Donna Brazile? Schultz and then it became the black woman who sold out Donna Brazil Yeah, Brontodon Brazil for a while That's a DNC I don't know let's see who is running the DNC We have a second to do this. I think we should do

2:47:12 We know who it is because we just have forgotten what it amounts to. DNC head But you know that she won the popular vote so she didn't really lose That's another thing, this is another problem they have. There's just denial that go... Oh that's right! This is when they decided to put Tom Perez as the chair with Keith Ellison. Keith Ellison the Muslim from Michigan who they wanted to be the guy you know let's put a Muslim at the head of the Democratic National Committee. Yeah but the problem was he had a penis so that was no good So, well they still have this only dissolve it's all guys anyway which makes it even funnier. But now these people are incompetent the Democrat Party really has some issues they've got to solve them instead of just whining and trying this new scheme and by the way we talked about this at the dinner table with a different group of people and it was like

2:48:09 Do they think you can just harp on this impeachment, and we talk about this on the show. Harp on this thing until 2018 without finding people getting annoyed? I mean, did-I thought about this too. Hillary and the Democrats have been doing this for a number of iterations of the election cycle they start to soon. I'm ready for Hillary was a year before the election began You were sick over by the time she actually got to the point where she's running where she's in the ballot with Hillary. I thought she'd been president before

2:48:46 And now they're starting, they started this too soon. This impeachment thing that I think they could maintain it. Yeah their timing is way off. I agree. Their timing is way off and it annoys people! Well let's play the final clip in this series my favorite. Ben Ferguson is the only conservative on CNN sexed a box six people in the box six all talking five hate Trump one is going to do something very dumb What is the dumbest thing you can do? Say something that might be objective. No, say well Barack Obama if you do anything like that it's wrong but in this case it was pretty funny again You want to see some heads explode

2:49:32 You might want to step back from your speakers. Again, we need to look at this individual as a grown man running for Congress and not try to score political points when dealing with him and he made a stupid mistake I personally would not vote for him today that's the reason i don't like to early vote because stuff like this can happen but let's not try to somehow... This is like the kid that gets in trouble and the parent doesn't want to hold the kid accountable so he says He blames the friends for getting him in trouble? Well, you're hanging out with bad people. No! You made a bad decision don't try to connect it to Donald Trump. The President and the Vice President supported this candidate. The president and the vice president support this candidate.

2:50:10 The vice president stood by him. This is not about Barack Obama, this is about this president supporting this candidate who is filling a vacancy because the person who was in that seat is now in the cabinet of this administration. There are people that Barack Obama... Why does Barack Obama come into this piece? Listen to me, listen to what I'm actually saying This is no you're making my point for me Which is this when you are the president? You basically support the people that are running on your side of the aisle There are people that were shady and did stupid things and some they're disgraced politicians Anthony Weiner's one of them which a lot of Democrats watch it

2:50:59 Come on, come on. Let's stay on track. I think Ben just acknowledged that Donald Trump... I think Ben just acknowledged that Donald Trump has terrible judgment for supporting Jim Forte. But here's the other thing, listen to Ben's point, you can't tie the two of them together okay but listen bad candidates can handle a scrutiny of the press and that's true of a congressional candidate in Montana and that's true with the President United States who cannot handle the scrutiny of the press and that is one thing that Trump and Jim Forte have in common and Ben you cannot break up the consensus I love him. That's actually based on this clip, which is the after all of traveling it was done? Yeah! What's his name... I have something on that too Major Garrett This is his lament after the trip Oh okay Major Garrett is what does he on there? He said NBC? CBS CBS This entire trip The President has held not one press conference with traveling US reporters Well wait wait wait

2:52:04 Nancy Pelosi was very upset about this trip. I'm just wondering for your impressions of President Trump's trip so far, his first foreign trip and if you think it has been a successful trip and some of the messages he has been trying to deliver? Do i think its a successful trip? Here is the thing...I was in like four countries five countries during break I have said that I thought it was unusual for the president of United States to go to Saudi Arabia first Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia? Saudi Arabia! Yeah, he was selling some arms lady He was doing the business of the people Selling billions of dollars worth of shiny stuff that kills brown people in sandy areas It's what the president does. He is a head sales guy

2:52:51 Saudi Arabia. It wasn't even alphabetical, I mean... It wasn't even alphabetical John! He should have done the country's alphabetical oh yeah and just to prove it other politicians went to Canada first see comes before us. Saudi Arabia it wasn't even alphabetical I mean Saudi Arabia now notice the previous five presidents president Reagan President George Herbert Walker Bush President Clinton President George W. Bush and President Obama, four of them went to Canada first. Yes! See? Before us, Canada! And one of them went to Mexico. George W. Bush went... Hey didn't Trump go to Mexico? Did I miss something? He didn't go to Mexico? Not since he became president or just before.

2:53:39 in our hemisphere. Didn't have to be in our hemisphere, but our friends and neighbors... What is she nuts? What difference does it make at this point? Yes! You want to hear another clip where you can hear how completely nuts this woman is see if you can catch it Talk about Russia's undermining of elections They did it It's not even a question They hacked they leaked they disrupted The question is was there a collusion between the campaign and next. You can't know until you have the full fledged. Can I just ask one thing? And to have a president say, if he did to these director of FBI or DNI, Director of National Intelligence or NRA person that... NRA?

2:54:30 Who's the NRA? The National Rifle Association? They're a government agency now. The NRA person. Director of the FBI or the DNI, the director of national intelligence... ...or the NRA person that um... Yeah, the NRA is not part of the intelligence community. Not that we know! Wow. She is such a douche. Massive douche All right, well we can I think we're probably wrapping it up. I mean I got a lot of clips left so i can move they're all easy to move and uh yeah I got something on Portland which will be interesting but I want to hold that for Thursday because I need your feedback on that It's pretty some historical context of Portland which I was unaware of And I just wanted finish with one clip Okie doke

2:55:22 And this is just a clip so I can complain. Mr Rogers, please tell me it's Mr Rogers Oh i can do the mr rogers clip let's do that This is an example this story has been somehow orchestrating this guy who writes for entertainment weekly Do we all know who mr rogers is? I don't think this is well known Mr rogers is old child He's dead now. He died, he died, he died. Yes and he used to come out and say really soothing things to the kids... It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, it's a wonderful day in the neighborhood. And he had a little train set and a bunch of other stuff. Hello neighbor! I never liked this guys show but this guy, his writer apparently ran into him and he's retelling this story and this showed up as exactly the same story on PBS

2:56:07 And then CBS, the exact same story and I decided to look it up. And it's all over the place The other TV stations didn't bite but everybody else did There is something up with this story It was Mr Fred Rogers who once said When I was a boy and would see scary things in the news My mother would say to me Look for the helpers You will always find people who are helping Thousands shared that quote on social media this week, including a senior writer from Entertainment Weekly named Anthony Bresnikan.

2:57:02 And it went on and on. It was the exact story that was run on CBS, and it was the feel-good story at the end of this show where Scott Pelley could back off and give a big smile and say, That's The News! I just found some lead into something coming It's just too well produced for no real payoff. I mean, if the guy had a book or something right now, I'd say that was the reason but I don't know what the reason is. Just keep an eye on Scott Breznikoff whatever his name is. Is there a movie coming out maybe? I looked and looked... No movie? Hmm.. Is it going into some kind of- Well there might be but I couldn't find it. Maybe Mr Rogers special? I have no idea There was a Mr Rogers movie but that was years ago

2:57:51 Yeah, no I have no idea. I'm just saying this is too much coincidence for my taste Hmm...I agree For that to be- and what who does he write for? Entertainment Weekly Well that's what everyone reads over there at the news huh Makes nothing but sense That's their show prep What's going on everybody! Hey this guy saw Mr Rogers and you see yeah they're always look for the helpers Maybe it's like Trump and his helper or something I don't know I'm sure it's related to Trump somehow. We'll see. All right, everybody! Just a heads up. Yes Thank you all so much for tuning in to the best podcast in the universe we appreciate your support in many ways thank You war room no agenda stream calm good heavy there Thanks to our end of show remixers some great stuff coming up as well Danny loose UK PMX double shot from him and we will return on Thursday
