About this episode

Hurricane Harvey has devastated Houston, forcing over 7,000 refugees into Austin as the Arkema Inc. chemical plant in Crosby faces an imminent explosion risk. CEO Richard Rowe confirmed that 40 inches of rain disabled all cooling systems for volatile chemicals, triggering a mandatory 1.5-mile evacuation. Meanwhile, the insurance industry is under fire for reclassifying the disaster as a 500-year flood to manipulate coverage rates and limit financial liability for property owners.

Secondary stories include the American Red Cross facing transparency concerns over its blood sales and Representative Sheila Jackson Lee conflating the Sandy Hook shooting with Superstorm Sandy during a live CNN interview. In North Korea, President Trump and Defense Secretary James Mattis issued contradictory statements on diplomacy following a missile launch over Japan. Domestically, Antifa and Black Bloc members engaged in violent clashes with Patriot Prayer rally participants in Berkeley, while the organization Refuse Fascism announced nationwide protests starting November 4th to remove the current administration. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has also expanded his investigation into Felix Sater and Michael Cohen regarding a proposed Moscow real estate deal.

Distinctive moments include the bizarre CIA report of Russian soldiers turned to stone by extraterrestrials and the emergence of floating fire ant colonies in Texas floodwaters. Host Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak acknowledge executive producers like Sir Peep Slayer of the Mojave Wasteland while critiquing the manipulative commercial teases used by Gordon Ramsay and the creators of Shark Tank.

Hurricane Harvey Impact, Austin Influx of Houston Refugees

Hurricane Harvey caused catastrophic flooding in Houston, leading to an estimated 7,000 displaced residents seeking shelter in Austin. The disaster is expected to result in long-term homelessness for many victims, with recovery efforts projected to last for months or even half a year.

00:00 And then when the 2400 bod modem came out, wow. This thing is twice as fast. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Thursday August 31st 2017 this is your award winning get my nation media assassination episode 9 or 6. This Is No Agenda. Separating Antifa from Okay, you have an acronym?

The UN is LGBTI and you just mentioned the one that you put in the newsletter which we already discussed on this show I didn't put this in a newsletter? I think you did.

Tell me about it We have, I think we have 7000 people now coming in from Houston to stay in Austin Well its about time About time Austin opened its doors Yeah exactly Exactly Its pretty bad this is not a good scene What, do you have 7000 people actually?

CHAPTER 02 / 42 Discussion

Insurance Industry, 500-Year Floodplain Rate Disputes

Insurance companies are increasingly categorizing the Texas disaster as a 500-year flood rather than a 100-year flood to manipulate coverage rates. This distinction significantly impacts the financial liability of insurers and the premiums paid by property owners in affected zones.

insurance rates· floodplain· 100-year flood· 500-year flood· global warming

02:43 A lot of things being a lot of talk. But there's, you know how have you caught kind of how they're talking about this being once in the 500 year flood? The Galveston Flood in 1900 was worse. That wasn't my question. Yes I have heard that. Okay so this is now being kind of pushed along instead of a 100 year flood and this is very important because there is language in every... It's got something to do with global warming I'll bet ya. No it has to do with insurance There's difference insurance rates if you're on a 100 year floodplain versus a 500 year floodplain. Or bloodflame for that matter. And there is talk... Oh, it was just the insurance companies trying to screw the public against them? Yes! Yes yes yes yes. Oh, what shocker! Exactly

CHAPTER 03 / 42 Discussion

Arkema Chemical Plant, Explosion Risk in Crosby Texas

The Arkema Inc. chemical plant in Crosby, Texas, faced an imminent threat of fire and explosion after 40 inches of rain disabled primary and backup cooling systems. CEO Richard Rowe stated there was no way to prevent the volatile chemicals from igniting, leading to a mandatory 1.5-mile evacuation radius around the facility.

arkema inc· crosby· chemical plant· explosion· organic peroxides

03:39 So there's all kinds of weirdness going on with that. Meanwhile, we just... Arkema? Is it Arkema or Arkema? Chemical plant which I guess things are already popping off but this thing is supposed to explode Yeah, well here I have the report. Oh good good good And this is the WTF chemical and I have commentary Okay WTF chemical plant Texas Tonight Crosby Texas is dealing with too much water and now the potential for fire or worse The new danger coming from a flooded manufacturing plant the CEO of Arkema Inc saying today He expects chemicals stored there will catch fire or explode within six days adding There is no way to prevent it

04:22 In a statement, the company describes the situation at the plant as serious. Dozens of homes are nearby and everyone living within a one-and-a-half mile radius has been ordered to evacuate families their pets and whatever they could carry leaving in school buses and military vehicles The chemicals used to make things like hoses, foam cups and plastic pipes need to be kept cold. But more than 40 inches of rain knocked out electricity, killed backup generators and now threatens the remaining cold storage units." What is not clear tonight is exactly how big a fire or explosion might be and exactly what the impact would be on people or the environment. Tonight state local and federal officials are watching closely Tom.

05:08 Alright, well here's the- I mean this is Tom. This was Tom on ABC. Tom Lomas does uh... Are they gonna tell us anything other than there's a possible big boom or it's gonna blow up? That's about all I've heard They're there, they talk to the guy who runs the plant. There's chemical engineers all over the country that could explain it Somebody could ask one of them was is it too much to ask? Yes yes John because the journalists are too busy saving people They're not saving anybody. Not telling us the facts about this, are we talking about various vinyl compounds that are extremely toxic? I'd like to know! Is there any information whatsoever? No nothing no nothing do you know anything? This is national news!

06:04 Saying this is a national news report, and that's the best they can give us. They have no information except it's gonna blow up Are you trying to ask them if they're doing their job because no I mean isn't that why we exist? It's annoying at this yeah We existed deconstruct stuff but not to do the job of these guys Yeah, so we you're right. We have absolutely no information what we do know by the way. It's not a secret Making cups and hoses and pipes, the process is well known. So it's not like you can't call University of Texas and ask them to come over to the chemical engineering department get some guy who tells what normally goes into this stuff and how it works I think you made your point What we do know a lot about Is what you do or donot wear if your going to visit a disaster area

CHAPTER 04 / 42 Discussion

Melania Trump, Fashion Criticism and Stiletto Heel Controversy

Melania Trump faced intense social media scrutiny for wearing five-inch stiletto heels while departing for a visit to the Texas flood zone. Critics labeled the footwear choice as callous and out of touch, while others defended the First Lady, noting she changed into sneakers before arriving at the actual disaster site.

melania trump· flotus· fashion· stiletto heels· social media

06:58 Because that was pretty much the news, Melania Trump's heels. I do want to say something about this because the face bag was unbelievable over the weekend...over the past few days it just it was All I see is people bitching about what Melania was wearing, that this is well of course a lot of global warming which is all Republican... GOP-ers. It's all Republicans fault it's Republicans fault for not evacuating even though the mayor is Democrat its Republicans faults for... What was? That's all that it is. It's all Republicans faults No one is really interested in people dying

07:39 It's just, let's blame blame blame. And oh! And I have to say... Just because everyone is doing it. Even though Melania looks fabulous. I love her FLOTUS hat Completely inappropriate. I love the Florida scents, it's hilarious. Completely inappropriate venue so and you know when i see him and her walking do you know what flashes through my mind this will mean nothing to anyone but you? I think Ron and Marta It keeps hitting me like god that just like them! I saw Trump at the...this is years ago when he was with Marla Maples I saw him at the US Open

08:23 And which is I was invited to do, believe me. I couldn't afford to go by my own and the guy and she's another one of these beautiful women and it was and they just seemed to kind of glow As a couple, it's very strange to witness it. And I think that... I got the biggest click out of the floaters site! But let's go back to Facebook and what kind do you have anything to read about the heels? The heels thing and then then what got me about the heel oh she's wearing spikes this is ridiculous and then she went to see... No hooker shoes John no no so but I just want to say one other thing the amount of particularly women who are

09:04 just going off on another woman for what she wears. Let me tell you, women always lose out when it comes to fashion and here are women shaming another woman for her fashion choices coming from people who say you should never do that! Yeah that's the irony is great...and then of course she switches some white sneakers which were pristine, which means that this is probably the first time they've ever been worn because you can't keep white sneakers that clean. And then they bitched about that! Oh, she's wandering around with two pairs of shoes. As if every woman in San Francisco who works for a living who goes to the office doesn't carry an extra pair of shoes in her purse because they walk around and I don't know pumps usually in the office And then as soon as they get outside this is works over They change into sneakers or walking shoes so they can wander back home Let me read everybody does that you reach something from the face bag? In particular from this This event

10:03 No kidding, five inch heels. I honestly honestly thought this had to be a joke A silly photoshop image poking fun But i did my due diligence and saw the video of her walking across the tarmac to Air Force One as these two bizarre cartoon characters head to Texas Now some other context... uh con-uh comments She wants to keep her ankles dry. Smart! Five inch heels, deep waters I thought i was the only one who noticed this She's really out of touch Are they both fucking medicated? I mean...I'd have to be drugged to the eyeballs To survive living with him I laugh hysterically but I just can't anymore Shallow people entering deep waters Ooh, give you that one That's a good one

10:47 I just can't fathom the level of callous stupidity to show up in 5-inch heels when people are still literally underwater. How about some cute boots at least? Mind you, cute boots! Not just any boots but cute boots. Cute boots. Spent this morning in the car blubbering on the way to work seriously know it's not about me but I seriously can take much more thinking of the innocent pets and people notice pets is first being left to die while these two treated like a photo op. I can't...I just can't It just goes on and on and on. I wish people would... it's too bad you can't, you know Facebook owns the copyright for a lot of this they could put together some damn funny books! Um i wonder if-I guess they do own everything yeah it is their copyright we couldn't do it now but just to move on there are other things that are happening and what I noticed very quickly is the amount of non-profit organizations who jumped in

CHAPTER 05 / 42 Discussion

Red Cross, Blood Sales and Disaster Relief Criticism

The American Red Cross faced criticism regarding its transparency and efficiency in handling Hurricane Harvey relief funds. Concerns were raised about the organization's practice of selling donated blood to hospitals as a primary revenue source rather than providing it as a direct charitable service during emergencies.

red cross· propublica· blood donation· disaster relief· revenue

11:46 And Red Cross, as usual was on the money. They were right there boom everybody donate to the Red Cross which I am against. ABC is pushing the red cross to an extreme giving you the phone number to call for automatic $10 donation What's interesting is that certainly on local news you would see different organizations to donate too so it'd be Goodwill donate to Red Cross donate to Salvation Army, and I said to Tina, man this is an opportunity. Everybody is shamelessly jumping on this And I do not like the Red Cross ProPublica of all people Is very against what they're doing just against them in general as tweeting all kinds... They're doing a tweet storm!

12:35 about how the Red Cross is not a healthy organization. And I can't speak for what they may or may not be doing with the funds for Hurricane Harvey, but i do know that if you donate blood which I don't think they've asked for, but in a blood drive by the Red Cross. If you say oh people need blood for Hurricane Harvey... They don't but let's say they did then you donate blood that blood isn't going to hurricane harvey victims they are the largest seller of blood to hospitals That is one of their main revenue sources outside of donations and gifts Is they sell the blood that you give to them To hospitals And not just for emergencies Just when hospital needs some blood

CHAPTER 06 / 42 Discussion

Linda Sarsour, Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund Controversy

Political activist Linda Sarsour launched a Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund that drew skepticism regarding the ultimate destination of the donations. Critics alleged the funds might be diverted to political organizing rather than direct humanitarian aid for flood victims.

linda sarsour· relief fund· political activism· muslim brotherhood· donations

13:18 I don't like them at all. But then we have the, let's see... The name of this outfit which i mean i'm hearing about a lot of them is the Harvey Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund which is run by a lady called Linda Sarsour and If you track the money, if you track the donations... So your giving us this report with a deadpan face not knowing who Linda Sarsour is? I really don't. Why would I not know? Who is she? Maybe I do! Why would you know it's because you've seen her a million times and you know who she is but for some reason you lost touch with that. Tell me tell me

14:02 She is that Muslim woman, Jew-hating Muslim woman who shows up at everything. Right! I gotcha...I gotcha And she's the one that promised $100,000 to the Colorado Jewish Cemetery which they still have yet to receive. Now she has the Harvey Hurricane Relief Fund but... Okay now I understand yes that makes nothing but sense So her money you know the money you may or may not send to her seems to be going into political organizations because she really represents political organizations Yeah, the Muslim Brotherhood being one of them. You could call that a political organization I guess. We have our local politicians coming out and what you want to do is go to a shelter and stand there and talk a little bit?

CHAPTER 07 / 42 Discussion

Sheila Jackson Lee, Sandy Hook and Superstorm Sandy Confusion

Representative Sheila Jackson Lee appeared confused during a CNN interview, repeatedly conflating the 2012 Superstorm Sandy relief bill with the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Despite prompts from the host, the congresswoman struggled to clarify her voting record on the specific appropriations act for the 2013 storm.

sheila jackson lee· superstorm sandy· sandy hook· cnn· legislation

14:59 I understand that these are confusing situations. I understand that, you know especially if you're in a shelter and there's a lot of panic and maybe your own home is flooded i think that may be the case or at least under some threat our representative here Sheila Jackson Lee could not quite understand that the comparison this news person is making on CNN is to Superstorm Sandy not Sandy Hook Which was something very different, where all these children were killed. We think... And the question is why did you

15:37 Sheila Jackson Lee not want to sign for the Superstorm Sandy bill which I think you know a lot of people inside a lot of representatives didn't sign that because it was filled with all kinds Of stuff had nothing to do with the actual scam. You know scam bill But for some reason she just he just cannot figure even after the host prompts It was just a piece of television that needed to share and Why didn't you vote for H.R 152? That was the one in two that was the Appropriations Act of 2013 with it all sorts of Texas lawmakers voted against and you just did not vote why did you skip that one as I said, I voted on legislation to help the Sandy Hook victims on many occasions and therefore and Sandy super strong voted on many occasions I'm sorry Sandy Super Strong

16:33 Wow. What's wrong with you? The thing that bothers me about her, she makes it... She sounds arrogant. She has these errors about her. Yeah she does sound arrogant. But she is just Maxine Water that is not as well dressed. ...victims on many occasions and therefore Sandy Superstrong voted on many occasions as we go forward I am hoping that we will not have the kind of conflict and the diminishing of monies that the Texans do need. That's what is important, the Sandy Hook vote took many times and my vote was for the maximum amount of money.

17:16 uh... the important idea is to make sure that you voted when the money i was needed by did that just so that everybody's clear we're talking about super storm sandy that's what we're talking about in two thousand twelve hundred and thirteen and welcome and it just so they were clearer your party since you say he voted along with democrats to give them a maximum amount why did you skip that vote for the house The HR 152. I think she's made it very clean clear to the audience, but really she's saying Mrs Sheila Jackson Lee we're talking about Superstorm Sandy not about Sandy Hook okay? I think she's got it now well Let me be very clear remember to follow all directions by the Houston Police Department if you aren't here to fund this I voted on the main legislation for Sandy Hook Funding

18:04 And so I think it's important to focus on what was offensively done and here in Houston and Harris County in the state of Texas We're going to be on the offensive In introducing an aid package to make sure that we have the funding for what is need. For What Is Need? Okay, but What Is Need? Okay you get a clip of the day right off the bat this happens too often Thank You Ruins The Show No It Doesn't I am not done. Wow! You should be so proud of yourselves, Texans for having this person. Vote this woman out! The beam was misdirected or maybe she's just an idiot that's possible but i don't know but certainly her brain was scrambled you're not listening let's put it that way she is NOT listening

CHAPTER 08 / 42 Discussion

C-SPAN Callers, Astrology and Solar Eclipse Disaster Theories

A C-SPAN caller suggested that the total solar eclipse preceding Hurricane Harvey was the direct cause of the natural disaster, citing historical precedents like Katrina and Sandy. The discussion referenced Nancy Reagan's historical reliance on astrology to schedule presidential events during the 1980s.

c-span· astrology· solar eclipse· natural disasters· lunar eclipse

18:59 So I watched a lot, I love C-Span. You know, I watched a lot of the...I love the callers who call in. It's never one of our people who call in sadly And, you know just call after call about it's climate change and stupid Republicans. And then a lot of people in Texas and a lot of Republicans calling in said they thought the president was doing great and did he come too early? Should he not... I mean just this... It is replication of the face bag. Then someone called him with something that I wondered about myself. Rick Los Angeles California Democrats line Luckily he's a Democrat Hi, yes. My name is Rick. I'm from Los Angeles. I have studied astronomy and astrology and the stars for many many years And i've seen these things before What caused that flood and the disaster in Texas was that lunar eclipse last week? The total eclipse

19:49 You can whenever you have these these solar events up on the stars. You usually have some type of natural disaster here on Earth somewhere and This time it happened to be in Texas last time was it was Sandy and before that was Katrina They've always followed with preceded by some lunar eclipse Chris in Santa Clarita, California Republican I will just copy cut the That was interesting. Yeah, he's in it but he also said he's an astral What is that astrologer and instead of astronomer? But okay You know I wondered that say wow this coincidental certainly And I always learned as a kid that the moon and the magnetism from the moon and maybe from Saturn or Venus That they create the tides you don't have to do that what do you think you might know oh

20:43 I might. You're an astrologer! What do you think, you idiot? You might know... I like the idea because it seems there is a correlation between these crazy events and disasters on earth because I think documented one but if I'm not mistaken with what i've read in the literature. I believe that this is not an unusual situation, I like it as good as the explanation of any although I think the astronomer thinks... or astrologer. Alright people listen chat room simmered the F down okay?

21:22 Now you have to remember that Ronald Reagan's wife, Nancy... Oh she was big into astrology. She was a nutball about it to the point where he was sworn in to office people don't remember this I do because actually every reason because I clipped it out when it happened I think the clips around somewhere in them in the archives when Reagan was sworn-in to office because of some astrological anomaly He was sworn as something like 1205 In the morning. Yes, and just after midnight the best time to do it some astronomic or astrological bullcrap So she was really into that

22:03 Yeah, well you know what? It's just as good a reason as global warming. I'll take that too! Either way you want it... Do you want to call me a nut job?! I thought it was interesting and he cut him right off. That's why I left that in. I think that was terribly cutting off. Now this is the guy who knows which guy it was. He's a stick-in-the mud Yeah. And I was, I heard...I couldn't find it and i think they cut it out of the replay. I heard one lady come in and say hey that lady who called in yesterday said she wanted to donate $25 000 to get people bottled water as long as they promised they would not give it to anyone who was a Republican. I mean that's the shit that's going on!

CNN Reporter, Disaster Victim Confrontation in Houston

A Houston flood victim, Danielle, confronted a CNN reporter on live television for interviewing people during their most vulnerable moments. The woman criticized the network for prioritizing "ghoulish" footage and microphones over the immediate needs of shivering children who had been waiting days for rescue.

cnn· journalism ethics· houston· flood victim· media criticism

22:43 I wish i could find the call. I think they cut it out. Oh that's a great, that would be a great call to give a copy of. Yeah these people are sick! Well the news people are sick and finally got called out on it you may have seen this clip...I think it went pretty viral as CNN is doing and you know we talk about how ghoulish the media is in these particular cases. And also the ghoulishness, they only talk about Houston and there's a lot of other counties that people have been... Oh the whole area? There are probably many more better stories outside of Houston than in Houston itself! But they won't go to any other place and people are... It's too dirty!! Whatever their problem is. So there's a woman and her two kids in a shelter

23:25 And CNN is there, you know sticking the mic in everybody's face asking questions. Yeah I'm sure you've seen this and I did and this is ghoulish and I just love how This lady called her out on it and the whole clip is just a beautiful piece of what is wrong with a male reporter It was female as a female reporter on the ground And this is a great example because I think that when people step back and listen to what happened you realize yeah It really is bullshit what the news is doing. You're standing with some Some folks there right now including a little girl who I guess has to deal with all of this as well What can he tell us? Let me introduce you to Danielle here, Danielle you just arrived Share with us how you were rescued some guys had

24:09 called our phone and asked us where we were. We was waiting for the police for like 36 hours, and they never came. And we was waiting at the home—we did the white flags and everything, but nobody came. But then somebody had called a phone after we decided to leave the house that we had walked to the gas station with kids, and then they had called and came and picked us up. But we have been there like five days with no food and no lights, and nobody came. Like, nobody came. Now, you're with your children. We've heard of stories of mothers trying to save their children from the rushing waters. Can you tell us how that was for— I walked through four feet of water to go get them food on the first day!

24:47 Yeah, that's a lot of shit. But y'all sitting here trying to interview people during their worst times like that's not the smartest thing to do Like people are really breaking down and you're sitting here with cameras and microphones trying to ask us what the fuck is wrong with us So I'm so sorry. You really trying to understand it with the microphone still in my face when me shivering cold When my kids wet and you still putting on microphone I can just hear the control room going like, yeah ask her how she was saved.

25:27 And when you see the video, when this woman is saying all you're doing is here sticking the microphone in my face and the microphone's actually stuck in her face. Yeah. And then just, and then the reporter pulls it back says yes I'm sorry. And then she puts it in again just there you go again sticking it in my face! Very very good very very good. I don't think they understand how ghoulish they are but... I don't think so either but if they had a sense of humor The reporter would have said, Would you like me to love you up? Oh yeah. That would have been a really good one John.

Joel Osteen, Lakewood Church Hurricane Shelter Controversy

Pastor Joel Osteen and Lakewood Church faced significant public backlash for initially failing to open their massive Houston facility as a storm shelter. The incident sparked a broader debate about "prosperity gospel" preachers and their responsibilities to the community during local crises.

joel osteen· lakewood church· prosperity gospel· creflo dollar· houston

26:05 And all and notes of in the shaming, of course You know we had to shame Joel Osteen that he didn't open his church. I don't know whether it's what's true or what's not true The church is open now, I guess yeah But it I don't know with I just don't I mean you don't know because there was a day they hate Joel Osteen Yes Yeah, it's just hey, he's one of these there's a bunch of these guys are called prosperity gospel preachers and they They have us It's not It's not the normal Christian message. There used to be a black preacher, and I can't remember his name...I wish I could somebody that actually never mind the chat room wouldn't know this either but there used to be a black preacher and he was

26:51 He gave a, all his sermons were about making money. And he wore a suit that was tailored out of dollar bills and I wish somebody's got to get this guy's name right or something because this guy what is his sermons for dynamite but But I think a lot of these guys kind of stem from this character who was very popular, and he...I believe he was in Oakland. But it's a certain kind of thing that a lot of Christians don't, uh... Well not I would say it's not the Christians. Look, I don't know but I see a lot of proclaimed atheists who just hate everything that the guy stands for. I don't know much about him. He packs them in! That's the problem. They hate that and he has this little auditorium there, little auditorium packs and he fills it to the rim every time he gives us a... Pastor Creflo Dollar? Is that the guy?

27:48 Creflo with a flow creflo creflo with an F Cresla. I think it is something dollar so that's probably yeah reverend crefflow dollar ref low dollar maybe maybe Anyway, it's probably him so he'll do his this TV thing and then he'll pack 16 thousand people into his arena to give these these sermons and He's got a big draw. I am blamed to atheists for being upset with this guy, ruining their business whatever the business is anyway It's it's much worse than it doesn't really translate to television he really doesn't

Amazon, Diaper Purchase Limits for Disaster Relief

Users attempting to send relief supplies to Texas via Amazon discovered a four-pack limit on diaper purchases. The restriction hindered individuals trying to use the platform to ship bulk quantities of essential goods directly to shelters in the flood zone.

28:33 And there's really only a couple of places around Houston where people can go to. It's, you know, Dallas Austin that's kind of it. You know San Antonio. They can't go to Louisiana because it has gotten rained on too. Right right. Yes and I was like what can I do? Yeah I'd love to help but no one is looking for helicopter pilots and thats understandable then the only thing I could find that I said oh I could do this...I got a truck They need diapers. Lots of diapers for the shelters Oh, I can imagine that's a good point Yeah so...I load up the truck with diapers and you can bring them down to multiple drop-offs but then you can also do it through Amazon Well that's kind of easy why don't have Amazon drop it right off? Here is something I learned There are restrictions on how many packs of diapers you can order at one time from Amazon The number is four

29:36 What? Yeah, you can't order more at least that's what I found. Every customer limited to four Has that always been the case or is that just now? This I don't know. I don't know because I haven't dealt with diapers for a long time and it may be, it maybe the seller but this was Amazon prime cause I wanted to get there immediately so I presume that Amazon is the one that has it in stock and as a special link specifically to send diapers you know to one of the facilities and there's like limited before am I would like to buy more though. I dunno. Well that's definitely doing

Anheuser-Busch, Water Bottling for Hurricane Relief

The Anheuser-Busch brewery in Cartersville, Georgia, halted beer production to bottle emergency drinking water for Hurricane Harvey victims. This long-standing corporate tradition involves shipping truckloads of canned water to the American Red Cross for distribution in disaster areas.

CHAPTER 13 / 42 Discussion

North Korea, Trump and Mattis Diplomatic Contradictions

President Trump tweeted that "talking is not the answer" regarding North Korea, seemingly contradicting Defense Secretary James Mattis, who stated the U.S. is never out of diplomatic solutions. The mixed signals followed a North Korean missile launch that passed over Japanese territory.

north korea· donald trump· james mattis· diplomacy· missile launch

31:50 Everything is nicely titled. Gee, why did I expect that to be so different from the first one we had? That's a good one though! What is she saying? She's saying, hey... Somebody knows what she's saying and they will tell us, I hope. I want about five minutes of her Can somebody is there, it's gotta be on the satellite or somewhere some way of getting that. She's great she got this great presentation. Okay well here's a latest NBC on North Korea and the odd contradiction they're trying to make a story where there's no story. Turning to the threat overseas from North Korea and the mixed signals that Trump administration is sending after the latest missile launch by the regime

32:39 President Trump issuing a tough new message to North Korea today only to be contradicted by his own defense secretary. NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel is in South Korea tonight and has more North Korea's latest missile launch over Japan now has Kim Jong-un and President Trump trading threats. North Korea over state media today saying more missile launches are coming and could, as threatened before be pointed at the US territory of Guam And President Trump over social media tweeting the US has been talking to North Korea and paying them extortion money for 25 years. Talking is not the answer

33:22 President Trump is apparently referring to Clinton-era negotiations that failed to curb North Korea's nuclear ambitions, talks that often ended with aid payments. But just hours after the president's tweet Defense Secretary Mattis chimed in seeming to contradict the president. We're never out of diplomatic solutions It leaves US policy confused by a 140 character burst and that could be dangerous when it comes to North Korea We are never out of diplomatic conversations. That's the massive, that is if you listen to the beginning of that report, that what amounts to a huge, they're contradicting each other! Are you kidding me?

34:06 Yeah, I- this whole... do we did you see any video that looked like it was fresh video of this? Do we really know this took place? We don't even know there's no. That was my- The whole thing could be a scam! I'm wondering, I'm wondering yeah It's like everyone has little maps and stuff but before we had we'd see the rocket launch would hear the rocket launch well I might have been file footage But now it was maybe I saw file footage but didn't no one why how did they miss it? How they- I know that is it ABC or NBC? Someone has people in Pyongyang, reporters on the ground. Well I did... I don't know which of the networks says you're right. I think it's CBS actually but here is the other report this is North Korea and of course they have to slip Hawaii Hold on John hold one second while we are doing the report We got a launch missile once in awhile There ya go Yeah It will

U.S. Navy, Kauai Missile Defense Test Success

The U.S. Navy successfully intercepted a medium-range ballistic missile during a test off the coast of Kauai, Hawaii. The exercise utilized the Aegis Baseline 9.C2 weapon system to destroy a target launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, occurring amidst heightened tensions with North Korea.

35:03 You could have just launched the missile. All right, all right what are we doing now? Announce them North Korea Hawaii again a fiery spray of exhaust as a defensive missile is test-launched from a US warship successfully intercepting a medium range ballistic missile set aloft from nearby Kauai A long planned test that could not have come at a more perfect time North Korea today boasting of its own missile test launched just days ago crossing over Japanese territory before falling into the sea. Kim Jong-un calling it quote a meaningful prelude

35:45 containing Guam where thousands of US forces are based. President Trump has warned North Korea that any threat to the U S will be met with fire and fury today he appeared to double down on a military option tweeting that talking is not the answer okay how wait a minute how is saying talking's not the answer doubling down on fire in fury it's not She's not but they always like to use there. There's a theme this is one of these we should put on our list of Trump stuff Although it's not quite the criticism of him necessarily, but they're always saying he's doubling They find them saying something kind of awkward or stupid and then the next thing He says that amounts to him doubling down yeah, in other words It won't back off on anything you ever does or says he oh it doesn't back off he doubles down

36:42 Yes, doubling down. Now here's what concerned me about this report do we have a missile test center on Kauai? That's what this report indicates could be they say they're testing the missile defense system after they launched a medium-range missile from Kauai not anyone who goes to the Hawaiian Islands at all knows that Kaua'i is one of the smaller and very quaint little island that is a tourist attraction, not as much as Maui or the Big Island. Or Oahu but it's there and it's cool and it's nice and it's got little town and all the rest I didn't know there was a missile test center where they can launch missiles And why with all of the things that has been said in everything we supposedly have Why didn't anything go up?

37:36 Are we not protecting Japan? Should we not have stuff flying if it really happened wouldn't stuff automatically just pop off and then oh, We're gonna you know Iron dome like and then bring it out of the sky I would you know. I've kind of asked myself the same question How come if this one supposedly flew over Japan and there was a air raid sirens going on There's a lot of reports on this yeah, I only had these few although also What not found is any reporting, any video even YouTube maybe someone can find it because I did look of the sirens going off that is usually when the sirens go off there's people on the street with their phones going oh! Sirens or in this case siren! Silent

38:24 Just to be a little racist. Adam at curry dot com. Just to throw in some racism. Seriously! Why? I agree, yeah where's the... they would get that footage in and that footage would be used in these reports. False flag!! But again the bigger question is why it says they have all of these missile defenses but this thing was headed to Japan. Yeah. Why didn't they knock it out of the air? Or even Just give me something that helps me understand what happened because I'm just not seeing they're gonna bring this back to the floor try To get this yeah active top of the news day. They you know You can just tell because it's the flooding things The story is so interesting and

39:07 at so many levels that they end up chewing 20, or I'd say 20 minutes out of the half hour news segment on the flooding and human interest part of it. Because it's better than anything else. But you know their grit in their teeth about Trump? Well, whenever they can pin something on him then take advantage of the opportunity which is understandable, I guess Meanwhile, well actually I have a little rundown just Since it will be coming up. Let me see this was the MSNBC Oh yes MSNBC is leading the charge cutting away from Hurricane Harvey and they have a run something we've never mentioned does anybody find that the name hurricane harvey is silly no

Robert Mueller, Russia Investigation and Trump Tower Meeting

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team began investigating President Trump's role in drafting a statement regarding the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting. Reports also surfaced concerning emails from business associate Felix Sater to Michael Cohen claiming a Moscow real estate deal could help engineer Trump's election victory.

38:24 Just to be a little racist. Adam at curry dot com. Just to throw in some racism. Seriously! Why? I agree, yeah where's the... they would get that footage in and that footage would be used in these reports. False flag!! But again the bigger question is why it says they have all of these missile defenses but this thing was headed to Japan. Yeah. Why didn't they knock it out of the air?

39:07 at so many levels that they end up chewing 20, or I'd say 20 minutes out of the half hour news segment on the flooding and human interest part of it. Because it's better than anything else. But you know their grit in their teeth about Trump? Well, whenever they can pin something on him then take advantage of the opportunity which is understandable, I guess Meanwhile, well actually I have a little rundown just Since it will be coming up. Let me see this was the MSNBC Oh yes MSNBC is leading the charge cutting away from Hurricane Harvey and they have a run something we've never mentioned does anybody find that the name hurricane harvey is silly no

40:03 I find Harvey is not like a...I don't know, I'd like the olden days. What do you mean? They were all girls? Before they had these dumb names for these, they used to have, you know uh... For one thing it used to be only women that were named after them You don't know this probably Well that's what i just said because they were only women But to be correct, you should say girls. Just say girls that's even cooler. Girls! I don't know...I just found this. I think the Harvey name. Ah! I forgot to hang up my phone. Okay well tell me what your going to say and i'll go do that Yeah I was gonna play a little bit of MSNBC who are ramping up to get ready for the next round of Trump coverage And what they're focusing on is the latest from Mueller

40:50 And somehow they have all- they have sources, I believe they have three sources who tell them exactly what Mueller is focusing on now and boy it's a humdinger! Three big new reports about the Russia investigation. First... New tonight, NBC News reports exclusively that Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team is asking if Trump tried to hide the purpose of that now famous Trump Tower meeting on June 9th 2016. They're looking at the statement Donald Trump Jr released after the meeting with a Russian attorney and others became public knowledge and asking how much it

41:27 the president wrote. According to these three sources, prosecutors want to know what the president knew about the meeting and whether he sought to conceal its purpose. Trump's lawyer called the president's role in crafting a response quote minimal now that story comes on the heels of A New York Times report about a trump associate who boasted that a Moscow business deal quote will get Donald elected The Times obtained copies of emails in which the business associate Felix Sater writes Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putin's team to buy in on this, I will manage the process." Those messages were reportedly sent to Trumps lawyer Michael Cohen. The copies do not show whether Cohen responded. Cohen said in a statement to Congress that Sater is prone to quote salesmanship.

42:18 Cohen is also the subject of a third story, A Washington Post report that says Cohen asked for Putin aid to help out on a business deal. It says quote, a top executive from Donald Trump's real estate company emailed Vladimir Putin's personal spokesman during the US presidential campaign last year to ask for help advancing a stalled Trump Tower development project in Moscow according documents submitted to Congress on Monday Cohen says the Trump Organization has reviewed countless real estate development opportunities. The Moscow proposal was rejected, he added to the best of his knowledge Trump was never in contact with anyone about it other than Cohen on three different occasions

42:58 The Trump Organization says it has never had any real estate holdings or interests in Russia. And all of this, as it unfolds there's new breaking news for this White House to deal with North Korea fired an unidentified ballistic missile toward Japan this evening the Prime Minister of Japan called the action reckless unprecedented and a significant threat also its now an unidentified missile they always know exactly what it is Anyway, all this Mueller stuff that all sounds like new stuff. What happened to hacking the election? Yes well of course we knew that was going to happen I want to ask you something This guy says Mueller and we say Mueller Is it Muller or Mueller? I like Mueller better because then you can do the Bueller thing but

43:49 He's apparently a trained professional. He works for a big network, he should have the pronunciation guide in front of him. He should've flipped the pages and looked at the name and they came back with Mueller Yeah, I'm really not sure. I really don't know We say Mueller and maybe Mueller Bob Muller. It's probably Mueller Probably but that doesn't matter just it seems like all this new stuff And did the president write this memo how was any of that really important? They introduced a new guy the guy that was spearheading the election yeah his name Stiles? I dunno Stiller what was his name? I don't remember Steel no steel is from the report. I don't know

John McCain, Brain Cancer Treatment and Senate Return

Senator John McCain's office announced he would return to Washington D.C. for the upcoming congressional session while continuing treatment for glioblastoma. The 81-year-old senator underwent targeted radiation and chemotherapy following his diagnosis earlier in the summer.

john mccain· brain cancer· glioblastoma· us senate· washington dc

44:32 I don't know. That's the whole point, it's like really? What are you- this is just more stuff that never pans out. I'd love to see them have something! I'd love to go down the path, I'd love to find out what's gonna happen. But they got nothing and then they're making stuff up in silence They really don't... Okay Just a little side note here. McCain's going back, I didn't know this but only one network reported on it is that McCain is going back for batteries apparently. A new headline tonight about Senator John McCain the senator undergoing treatment for brain cancer his office releasing a statement late today saying McCain will return to Washington next week when Congress goes back into session

45:17 I want to remind people that when McCain ran for president against Obama in 2008, they said he was too old and he's going to die. This guy is never going to die and the thing is his mom, I believe, is still alive. McCain's mom? Yeah if I'm not mistaken. She was alive in 2008, I know, but I don't remember her dying because it would have said something So I think he's a, you know, lizard. Yes. Oh man! Speaking of such now on the 29th floor here in the common law condo with the crickets have appeared. Crickets grasshoppers... 29th floor? I didn't know they could jump or fly

Texas Fire Ants, Floating Colonies and Detergent Solutions

Displaced fire ants in Texas formed massive floating colonies to survive Hurricane Harvey's floodwaters. Experts advised residents to avoid the stinging clusters and noted that simple laundry detergent can break the water's surface tension, causing the ant balls to sink and drown.

fire ants· flooding· surface tension· detergent· texas

46:04 29 floors jump that high is very jumping up the steps. Very interesting and I'm expecting yes end of days We got the fire ants so you have yeah, I love the ants know these fire ants in Texas do not love them They are they can mess you all know that kill ya? Yeah, they can't kill you. Yes And so we got these floating, big ball of them floating around. Stay away. All you need is some laundry detergent and you just get it over there and then the drip breaks up the surface tension they all drown I mean that's what you should do. I imagine the other thing which is that you end up with... There goes to Zephyr by the way take him note at a time

46:44 The other thing that I've always imagined, and I think would be a good scene in the movie because there are going to be some movies about this flood. So the fire ants are coming at your house and here they're heading your way so you douse them with some lighter fluid and light them on fire! And then the burning ants actually...a wave comes up and throws the burning ball of ants into your house and burns it to the ground That's a free scene for anybody who is writing scripts. I like it And then hey, why don't we write? We could write it. We could do it in the world where ants rule This is hurricane Harvey I'm feeling it now so if you have now are these are these bugs up and your hot in your apartment on the balcony on The balcony on a balcony there on the balcony yeah

47:36 How did they get to the balcony? Thank you. I don't know. Did they fall from the sky perhaps? It's end times, yes. Well, I mean, the hurricane picks up a lot of stuff and... Well, I asked the cricket but I asked the grasshopper and the cricket and they said that the locust had a day off so he was doing whatever he can I have to imagine there's cockroaches everywhere. Haven't seen those yet. I'm seeing those shit I have a little little package little package about Antifa and black block and Berkeley which okay, I do have if you don't have it I do have the the gene the new jingle Which i think is the gem of all gems we have a jingle And you have it and I don't

CHAPTER 18 / 42 Discussion

Antifa and Black Bloc, Berkeley Protest Violence

Violent clashes erupted in Berkeley, California, as Antifa and Black Bloc members targeted participants of a "Patriot Prayer" rally organized by Joey Gibson. Despite the organizers' diverse lineup of speakers, counter-protesters chased and assaulted individuals perceived to be conservative or Trump supporters.

antifa· black bloc· berkeley· joey gibson· patriot prayer

48:24 Oh, it's not a jingle that is written. This is what they're chanting. It's a chant! Oh I have the chant of course you have the chant. You have the chant? I HAVE THE CHANT! Is yours as long as mine chants? My chant took me time... Let me see your chant. What's it titled? No Trump no wall no USA at all. You just gave away the ending. No Trump, no wall. No USA at all! Yeah there it is. No Trump, no wall, no USA at all. Now do they mean they just don't want a United States of America? Or they don't want... These are the globalists we used when they brought this up. They're the no borders people I'm doing a JCD i'm just being uh rhetorical question I know, I know. I'm doing an Adam

49:15 The roles have switched! That's right, switched. A new movie Yeah, and you know there's a lot of weirdness about this particular thing. Because now we see left media, leftist media also reporting on the violence which came from the large group of... They're not even saying counter protesters now that has changed Now they're saying Antifa I have not actually heard any news report where someone said Black Block And they are two different things, possibly apparently. But the Antifa leaders had a press conference—a little presser. Ooh, presser! Yeah because they were upset about a number of things The first thing I think they should be upset about is... ...the guy who organized this Patriot speech rally Gibson? Was it Jimmy Gibson? Johnny Gibson? Pete Gibson? Mel Gibson? No, Mel Gibson. Oh he's a black guy

50:19 He's a black guy and he was the organizer. I think it was Johnny Gibson, well it's in one of these reports. The Gibson. The Gibson brothers, and you know there were trans people speaking and gay people and white people black people indigenous people all kinds of people were speaking and it was just violence and everyone saw it but there was also the same thing that started happening in Candinavia where Antifa is saying hey journalists go away we don't want you filming! We don't want you filming respect him respect our privacy while we're beating up on these people Respect our privacy. So it's starting to slip in a little bit, you're starting to see news reports about well these guys are kind of violent which is interesting that no one says hey maybe the president was a little bit right

51:05 So here's some local press coverage up in your area, John. Of the presser done by Antifa and I actually found a copy of the full presser and pulled a couple of clips so we can enjoy what is really being said. Here is the local report. Well they wanted to clear some things about what happened yesterday as thousands Thousands of people covered this block here at Civic Center Park across the street from where I am right now. They also said that some of the reports and published pictures and videos were things that they didn't like about them. The near chaos in Martin Luther King Park Sunday wasn't as bad as it could have been. There was very little opposition to the anti-hate demonstrators and those who did oppose them got run out of the park, but some of the confrontations we did tell you about Sunday didn't sit well with the antifascist movement It is not always about the violence and that's why we're here asking you as media representation To not focus on that all the time

52:04 I don't have too much confidence that you're not going to lead with the bleeding stuff. As a reminder, this story led with this...not bloody but still pretty heavy stuff Antifa leader Alex Yuen says things went as she had envisioned them Sunday though she expressed remorse for people who may have been attacked and acknowledged that a few people at the rally made bad choices as for the crowd chasing away Patriot prayer organizers organizer Joey Gibson. I'm not justifying it, I am human-naturing it in the sense that if somebody is in your face and going nah nah nah because they think they can because they're privileged we cannot take this lightly in San Francisco Berkeley College Republicans saw the whole thing differently every single person that was even you know slightly seemed like they were conservative or marginally attached to

52:53 Donald Trump or supportive of the president they ran after them chased after them and beat them up You in claims black walk doesn't want to violent identifier, but there's no denying violence happened at the park Another Berkeley College Republican says someone started hitting the car. She was in with a pipe. They were throwing she people They were kicking people to the ground. I had to get out of there." People on each side of the confrontation will likely remember things playing out very differently for years to come. Antifa leaders say that the whole thing yesterday was one long line of love now at last count There were 13 people arrested and at least six people hurt two of them badly enough To go to the hospital in that long line of love

CHAPTER 19 / 42 Discussion

Refuse Fascism, November 4th Protest Mobilization

The organization Refuse Fascism held a press conference to announce nationwide protests beginning November 4th with the goal of removing the Trump-Pence regime from power. Leaders characterized the administration as a "fascist regime" more dangerous than historical precedents and called for sustained daily mobilization.

refuse fascism· november 4· donald trump· mike pence· protests

53:33 Yes, I was very interested in hearing the little bits that i heard from the antifa representatives. And you can already hear kind of a little bit of snark there from the journalists yeah one long line of love but meanwhile so I went and found this is it you know they did about 20-25 minutes and poorly attended I think there were three press outfits who are listening, only one journalist asking any questions. And I want to play a couple of clips from this so and the NOAH Agenda show is really uniquely suited for doing this. As you heard, even though that was a pretty long report topped out almost two minutes you really don't get any context of what was going on and there's just a lot violence yelling, blah! That's why it's not... You don't even see the video just listening to it It's just a lot of noise Let's go in deep and really listen to what is being said So here is one of the 2 speakers saying a number things which we'll come back to holding up professional signs professionally printed signs no to fascism

54:37 resistfascism.org and we'll talk about that as well. And so what I would say to that question about whether or not people should be afraid, I would say they are trying to create a very scary situation it is scary you know they have he just pardoned Joe Arpaio who was convicted racist Just got to stop once in awhile He's convicted, but I don't think he was convicted of racism. He's a convicted racist! That's what she said- he's a convicted racist and remember she's talking about that people should be afraid of the group that was there which was Joey Gibson The black man in his band of cripples because that's the way he portrays it on Tucker every time

55:21 But yeah, we have to be very afraid because I don't know Donald Trump pardoned a convicted racist. You know, you know, he has his finger on the button. He's got his finger on the button these people are hearing the talking points from the media. You are hearing the mind control You know, you have a situation where Steve Bannon is coming to Berkeley and Milo and Coulter. They are trying to make Berkeley ground zero for their whole fascist agenda." Okay I just love the idea of Milo in a fascist suit or a Nazi uniform and Coulter- He probably would too Yeah! I'm sure he has it in the closet

55:59 But did this... Not for the purposes of fascists. No, but listen to this! They're talking about Milo and Ann Coulter and Steve Bannon trying to make Berkeley the center of their fascist movement Yeah that makes nothing but sense Exactly And so there's a reason why they come to Berkeley and there's a reason why the barrier with its rich history of resistance is standing up to say no. An we move forward from today We move forward from this righteous resistance to November 4th November 4th, remember that date. We will in all of our diversity and all of our different beliefs come out into the streets and build resistance And we won't be afraid because people tell us to be afraid. These are journalists though... And were asking for everybody who saw that everybody who was there To tell those stories and were asking for the media and the journalist to tell those stories too Trying to but I've got a tax credit Now you hear this is one journalist whose in the background he's trying to get it worded

56:56 And they'll just listen along. It's very interesting Well, hold on a second. You actually I think you've stumbled onto a theme and the theme is some people not listening This started with Maxine Waters not maxi waters But the other woman Sheila Jackson Lee yeah earlier in the program and now we have this it's the same thing It's also black by the way if that has anything to do with it I don't know but this is the not listening thing that's going on Yeah Oh, it's big not listening thing but also

CHAPTER 20 / 42 Discussion

Christian Fascism, New Political Rhetoric and Labels

A new rhetorical trend emerged labeling Vice President Mike Pence and the administration's supporters as "Christian Fascists." Activists argue that the administration is attempting to merge church and state, creating a fundamentalist political structure that targets marginalized groups.

christian fascism· mike pence· political rhetoric· secularism· religion

57:53 Antifa is pissed at the media. And this is in they are, the entitlement of these people... This is the way I believe it is happening. The entitlement is we have the right for you for the news media to show what we're all about and not show what we're doing And they feel somehow in that they have the right to tell the media knowledge Privilege, thank you. Thank you yet They accused Joey Gibson of having privilege but let's listen people are being scared off by the media We know that that's gonna happen right we've seen it happen this entire election cycle Right where people have been told? That Trump was never gonna win and that was a joke then none of his policies were gonna go through and those Listen to this now so

58:40 I'll just say Antifa because she's representing Antifa is pissed that the media misinformed them about the election. Interesting! They have learned? I guess Antifa has learned they're going to go with this entire agenda. Not sure what it is. The distance that will not end until this Trump regime is gone, we have learned that they will go through with this entire agenda and every day they speed it up and only the people ourselves can stop it! And yesterday was one of the most beautiful displays of power of the people I have seen in all my years of activism. And I want to celebrate that

59:38 And I want to celebrate the clergy who came out and bless the activists. I want to celebrate the youth who came out from their black blocks, who defended the perimeter and had restraint for almost that whole day All right, so here she is commending her brothers and sisters of the Black Bloc for having the courage to come out and defend the line for almost a whole day. She welcomes clergy yet when we go to refusefascism.org not resist but refuse fascism dot org I would just like to read a little bit about their feelings about the Trump-Pence regime as they call it and that it needs to be removed. In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America drive out the Trump-Pence regime! The Trump-Pence regime is a fascist regime not insult or exaggeration this is what it is

1:00:25 For the future of humanity and the planet, we the people must drive this regime out. Donald Trump and Mike Pence have assembled a vicious cabal that has put forth positions and begun initiatives which demonstrate that they fully intend to shred political and social norms with catastrophic consequence because Trump has his finger on the nuclear trigger! The Trump-Pence regime is more dangerous to the world than even Hitler." I mean what a paragraph right there We jammed it all in, including Hitler. Fascism has direction and momentum. Dissent is piece by piece criminalized The truth is bludgeoned group after group as demon eyes and targeted along a trajectory that leads to real horrors All of this has already begun under the Trump regime history has shown that fascism must be stopped before it becomes too late And now let me there's a lot here I'm gonna go down

1:01:19 The Trump-Pence regime will repeatedly launch new highly repressive measures, eventually clamping down on all resistance and remaking the law if they are not driven from power. And here's a classic... In the first weeks of the Trump-Pence regime they have begun subverting the separation of powers, the separation of church and state, called for a new nuclear arms race, demonized the press, dismissed the very concept of truths of state substituting their own fabricated alternative facts It can already be said of the Trump-Pence regime that first they came for the Muslims, then the Mexicans, then all refugees, then women, black and Latino people, LGBTQ persons, the environment and anyone who doesn't conform or submit to their vision & plan for a nation cohered around white supremacy and a political form of Christian fundamentalism that should rightly be called Christian fascism.

1:02:10 And this is something I wanted to bring to the table because it's not recognized in the message yet. Clergy is welcome as long as they're not Christians, this isn't a real attack and calling Mike Pence a Christian fascist...Christian fascism I don't think this is understood that there's a big... I don't think this has even been noted yet. This is coming and it's all over. What you've done, is you've done the no agenda trick of finding out something way in advance of it actually happening A couple of things I wanted to, well before you continue, obviously. Sure sure. The interesting irony here and it was heard in this woman screeching just not by the way they don't obviously know what a press conference is where you're supposed to take questions anyway so she's going on and on about this journalist is complaining and then she makes mention that the media is complicit with Trump

CHAPTER 21 / 42 Discussion

Media Relations, Antifa Hostility Toward Journalists

During protests in Berkeley, Antifa members reportedly harassed and assaulted journalists attempting to document the events. Activists claimed that filming their actions put them at risk and demanded that the media focus on their message of "love" rather than the documented physical violence.

1:03:12 That's what she said. Pretty much! And it was, oh that's interesting irony that must really gall the people. The journalists. It's Intel agencies behind the whole scam. CIA, Mockingbird you mean? Yes of course it's failing yes. What oh brother who's giving these people money and I'm sure we'll find out soon enough continue please On November 4th is when they want to take to the streets as long as it takes and the reference goes all the way back to Occupy. It's the same people it's the same organ or the same people funding it

1:03:53 It goes all the way back to Occupy and how everyone needs to take to the streets starting November 4th. I'm not quite sure why November 4th was chosen, 5th would have been funnier because that would be Guy Fawkes Day. How about the fourth being Election day? Was it November 4th election day? Yeah and that would do be the anniversary of getting in. Well there you go but they don't mention that interestingly enough Well, they don't have to. Okay so let's get back to the journalist and the journalist makes a surprising admission and he's very hurt... He's butthurt that he got attacked while trying to document the workings of Antifa

1:04:37 That we will not stop, we won't be scared and will come back out. And will come together with clergy and students and activists revolutionaries and anarchists and communists and socialists With everybody from all different walks of life From Bernie Bros to Hillary people To say no we refuse to live in a fascist America Why were journalists attacked is the question I'm not quite sure In your situation what happened? I was standing there when that happened Now note she says I was standing there when that happened Unless I misunderstand what she's saying. No, that's what she said. All right That's what you say by the way. I love the fact that she used a term commies Yeah, of course I did Everything except white old guys. I don't think we're included in the list or out We're not invited. Not quite sure in your situation What happened? I was standing there when that happened

1:05:31 So I'm not quite sure why you were told to put your camera away. I was running over, filming you guys leaving the park over here and one woman approached me blocked my camera it was pretty in-my-face about it and I'd had enough of that kind of thing for that day And then she called for other people to surround me Hey can we have some muscle over here? Sound familiar? I'm a journalist... Who are you? That was intimidating and there were tons of other people filming Can I ask a clarifying question Were you in the middle of black box? No, then I'm not quite sure just generally for black box That is something that is chosen not to have done. But why do you assault people? Why try to take your question report they're trying to report what you said You said why do you assault me so why by the group because you were standing right there maybe oh

1:06:22 I've been to a number of these and it's pretty sketchy. I wish we had a BlackRock brother or sister here, but I can't answer that question. That is what people want to know. They want to know why violence happens. See that is why were here so people don't dwell on the violence and there again you are bringing it back We came together because that matters to viewers. Oh, well sorry what matters to the human race is that we show compassion and love it is not always about the violence and that's why we're here asking you as media representation do not focus on that all the time

1:07:00 There are so many other beautiful patches and things that, I mean... If you want to focus on the violence Then that's you and your station. I'm left, I'm on the left okay? I am a liberal and i'm questioning your methods because Joey Gibson professes... My methods! Don't put it as one. How do you feel about the way that question was addressed yesterday? People are mumbling in. They're calling him Vlad Slavkin. Absolutely. And Vlad Slavkin now represents to a lot of people, he was using Tifa to mean everybody

1:07:37 And that is the wrong, absolutely. So let's get something clear. Absolutely. Let's get some really clear. Antifa and BlackBlock are not the same." Okay, Anitfa and BlackBlock are not the same she says it very clearly even though the journalist says no black block attacked him was Antifa doesn't matter they also talked about their fine brothers and sisters from BlackBlock You gotta be a little more clear exactly who's who. Did she say Anifa? I've heard this three times now and every time like, nah, I'm just hearing it wrong Is there another group? Yeah What is an- Anifa? Is that something different?

1:08:30 I think it may be the pronunciation that we talked about numerous times on this show where you drop the T in the middle of a word. We went to a meeting. A meeting? No, we didn't go to a meet- we went to a meatin'. Meatin' A meatin'? A meatin', yet its important! I don't know... Anifa. Well she's talking about anifa and I'm seeing a hashtag anifa so maybe anifa is... Oh, you see anifa? A hashtag anifa? Yes. Ooh. So what is anifa? This must be a fork a fork it's a fork yes let's work all right let's listen to the last 15 seconds here are not the same let's start identifying who is who and using the right terminology oh this is where your research has to be important because then people get labeled

1:09:22 and it's not fair. People get labeled and it is not fair says the label guys, says the person who's calling people Nazis and KKK and white nationalists guys seriously seriously what you say bring yourself with your cop to the health that's what we said now We'll wrap it up here with this press conference. Remember, this is all about November 4th we'll read a little bit more about that from their website in the moment but now this is kind of going back to that original port with the full statement about Anifa Antifa black bloc attacking Joey Bishop black guy who organized this rally your question about why he was attacked?

Anti-Trump Platform, List of "Nightmares" and Policy Grievances

Activists have compiled a comprehensive list of "nightmares" attributed to the Trump administration, ranging from immigrant deportations and healthcare cuts to the threat of nuclear war. The platform seeks to unify various progressive causes under a single demand for the regime's removal.

immigration· healthcare· lgbtq rights· climate change· nuclear war

1:15:06 We wouldn't, as a movement, take a seat at the table with Trump because we wouldn't have done that with Hitler. Trump is literally the epitome of evil—all the evils of this country, be it racism capitalism, sexism, homophobia—resist him and to resist every single policy that he's implemented that impacts our communities. And I think if—I'm thinking about what I want my children to know in 30, 40, 50 years. I want them to know that I resisted a president at all costs

1:15:46 because this president literally tried to kill our communities. He literally tried to kill our communities and we would never sit down with Hitler I mean, yeah i've heard the media say all this but historically really your claim doesn't hold water But here's what's going to be done about it This nightmare must end And in the name of humanity We refuse to accept a fascist America Now they have a list of nightmares that must end. Okay, and I think you'll recognize most of the these on our list a nightmare immigrants living in terror their next stop could mean detention deportation being torn from children and loved ones a nightmare Muslims and refugees demonized banned and cast out

1:16:39 A nightmare. Millions, children the elderly disabled the sick the poor denied health care food assistance and the very right to live Man that Trump is a dick! A nightmare women objectified degraded and denied the basic right to control their own production with fundamentalist Christian fascism increasingly being made law This is a big one people I'm telling you this Christian fascism thing has something going on A nightmare, LGBTQ people stigmatized ostracized and denied civil rights recently won. I think that's the bathroom thing Black and Latino people openly threatened by the president with maximum sentencing stop-and-frisk going national intensified police brutality and murder of our youth with no holds barred

1:17:27 A nightmare, people all over the world facing bombings occupations war and the threat of nuclear war with Donald Trump's America first finger on the nuclear trigger. A nightmare, the truth bludgeoned. Lies and more lies. Critical thinking being destroyed in education and public discourse. A nightmare, the whole planet in peril from a regime that denies global warming and shreds all environmental protections And a nightmare...a regime step-by-step discarding basic democratic rights targeting group after group and suppressing dissent and resistance. A regime unleashing the violence of white supremacists anti-semites and fascist thugs

1:18:05 This is fascism, a qualitative change in how society is governed. History has shown that fascism must be stopped before it becomes too late. Okay, on November 4th... I would say that if you're really stupid you'd probably buy into that list as a oh my god we gotta resist. Resist we much? On November fourth we will gather in the streets and public squares of cities and towns across the country at first many thousands declaring this whole regime is illegitimate and we will not stop until our single demand is met this nightmare must end the Trump-Pence regime must go

1:18:42 Our protests must grow day after day and night after night, thousands becoming hundreds of thousands then millions determined to act to put a stop to the grave danger that the Trump-Pence regime poses to the world by demanding that this whole regime be removed from power. And so I read the whole website and looked at all their documents and articles nowhere do they actually have any plans to remove... No this is just a I don't know, it could be part of the scheme to keep Trump in the news to the point where you can get more Democrats in which is what their real goal might be. But I liked the way they're doing the associating Trump and Pence together because so if anybody makes the argument which I was always making Which was do you want a- You want Trump out? Do you wanna impeach him? When? Because otherwise your gonna end up with a dominionist as president for the next 10 years Yeah, you get Pence

Bill Maher, Frank Bruni on White Male Identity Politics

New York Times columnist Frank Bruni appeared on "Real Time with Bill Maher" to discuss the marginalization of white men in modern political discourse. Bruni argued against the "Oppression Olympics" and emphasized that a person's category should not be a credential that disqualifies them from participating in debates.

bill maher· frank bruni· identity politics· new york times· oppression olympics

1:19:36 You mean the Christian fascist? I like it. I like what they've done, I like that they've done the Christian fascist thing. It's a wise and sharp move to get professionals doing this. Someone professional is doing this for sure! And their good at it. I still have my problems with these spokespeople And I'm now getting, having a problem that all of them with no exceptions that i can think of are black women who seem to have been trained in rhetoric. Right there was one enlightening moment this past week and then we need to definitely thank some people and that came on the Bill Maher show real time with Bill Maher

1:20:24 Very enlightening and it was you could hear the audience. It was uncomfortable for the audience I chopped this way down because there were gay jokes in theirs if just what didn't matter really Frank Bruni who writes for The New York Times had written several columns that Bill Maher liked a lot, and I liked it too You have written two columns that were such music to my ears the first one was called. I'm a white man Hear me out You hear the crowd is What about this new phenomenon that as a white man somehow we're just disqualified from being in the debate and somebody's got to speak up for the white men without the Tiki torches. I mean, we still have something to offer. No no all white men have Tiki Torch is where all white nationalists We are The Patriarchy must be toppled or KKK were Nazis? Absolutely yeah

1:21:19 Alright, we'll talk about it. No no I wrote that because there are a lot of debates that happen these days and you've listened to them and commented on them where you get the message if you're not part of minority group if you haven't suffered in that exact way You can't possibly be empathetic or understand And I think thats one thing right now that divides us I agreed with just about everything Reverend Jackson said I'm a white person and that needs to be acknowledged, that i'm not the enemy. He's not saying I am but often you go on Twitter it's of course easy to talk about Twitter because its such a flea market But you go on twitter and see this sort of oppression Olympics where if your are not as oppressed as I am then don't tell me you can beat my side What I said in that column...I'm a white man so alot of people say you have nothing to say..i'm also gay

1:22:06 So that brings about this assumption that I have some experience. I am gay and so I understand perhaps what it means to be an outsider Neither one of those things tells you anything about my character, right? My character is what matters not what category I fit into A category isn't a credential Thank you very much. It's the old stereotype argument that says he has been gone by the wayside But it was nice, it was a moment of clarity And the audience was very quiet They said nothing Talking about white men We can't really be for them but even though they might be making sense we'll just be quiet That's better don't ya think? Yeah Don't wanna make any waves Well who is financing this operation With that question

I got interested in American politics obviously months before the election and you'd made the prediction in Holland that he didn't care about feedback or blowback for being wrong and you went out there and you did it. And so she got interested in American politics, in the hysteria around these elections specifically also in my country the MSM report on a politically correct left manure I don't know what that means

Shark Tank and Gordon Ramsay, Reality TV Commercial Teases

Reality television programs like "Shark Tank" and Gordon Ramsay's cooking shows are criticized for using manipulative commercial break teases. The practice of delaying the reveal of a winner or a decision until after a series of advertisements is described as an anachronistic and annoying marketing tactic.

shark tank· gordon ramsay· reality tv· cliffhangers· marketing

1:34:23 We hit people in the mouth. All right, now you had a pet peeve? What did you have? You wanted to do something? Well I'm just gonna give you a heads up... A little note from the field. Since you mentioned earlier that we had split roles with switch sides. I have a second half of this show

1:35:01 Item or later, and I in the way is gonna. Go is that the show's gonna slow down as my recommendation to you It slows good the show's gonna have a moment where you can play Entering second half of this show and then I can do this this I suspect that could be after the second the second list of producers Or anytime you feel like if I'm just telling it in advance. And if you don't do it when I think at least by some point before the show ends, I will actually mention it. Okay gotcha Now there's one thing that has been going on... The news has covered nothing Can I ask you a question? I'm sorry Are you gonna bitch at me during this segment or is something else? Oh should I be bitching about me? Yeah Okay alright Alright can't wait to summon my own execution Nice

1:35:56 Oh, I see what you're saying. I don't really know what you're talking about. Alright never mind Okay well WhatIHateTheMostAboutTV is what you were referring to It's okay just go ahead So this is WhatIHateTheMostAboutTV and there are two examples of it I saw on Shark Tank does this constantly and I don't like the show I don't like Shark Tank buncha glib guys It's just not a... I don't like the show Do you know they asked me to be on that show? As a product? No, as a shark. Oh why don't you do it? Well I'll tell you why they call up and say that'd be great! I think I can evaluate pitches...I've been through a couple. And said okay and then you'll invest? I'm not gonna invest a dime in any of that crap now you have to actually invest. Wait so are you telling me

1:36:48 that you don't have a budget, that gives these schmucks with their ideas some money. All these sharks invest their own money they really do it yeah they really do it so okay I'm out is what I say! I'm out! What am I gonna... hey I will take 50% of your company for $800 and 32 cents from my podcast money So they must think you're loaded Well this was a long time ago Oh, when you were loaded. Yeah, yes and even then I'm like I'm not doing that we're going to sit on your TV show for this now.

1:37:24 Well, that'd been fun. No. Anyway so they do this on the show they do it on Ramsey does it this is from The Cooking Show one of their ones where they have their home cooks and they all come out and Ramsay can't really yell and scream at him too much And they do it a lot of it They do this on the voice They do this on all the shows and I just am sick of it but play this clip I'm trying to think oh I got it here we go Easy Nutella But sadly, there can only be one winner. Oh I know it's you! The home cook receiving a major advantage in the upcoming challenge that person is... It's time for getaway Yes yes yeah well of course we're doing that you wait for the reveal and then commercial break So every one of these things because television the way it is now there are other things to watch

1:38:29 And so when they do this, when they go to the commercial and if it's not on the DVR I mean if some of the DVR just skip the commercials anyway. But they go and here's and so on this case I said oh crap! So I went start watching other stuff and never went back to the show Never went back to the show. I don't know who won looking back at it Who cares? This is just a stupid show TV were watching too much TV anyway, and I'm not gonna be suckered by by one of these, these oh and the winner is. And then they cut to a commercial and then you have to watch a bunch of commercials. You know what? I don't care who the winner is it's not no as we used to say in the olden days It's no sweat off my balls. I always heard back but maybe California had a different saying yeah well Well I'm sorry I'm sorry your so what are you doing watching that stuff anyway why would you watch that

1:39:25 Okay, here's the reason I got sucked into this one. This is that show where they have these home cooks and I just happened to click on it and there some guy had some crazy dish that he had cooked up and it was... It's like, well it was kind of interesting. And then people come out all three of them they pick three to the top dishes in this category which is breakfast made somehow using Nutella which seems like a stretch but okay they all cook something up and everyone's oohing and ah-ing over this food and all three of these dishes were just spectacular very creative it was very interesting and then they pull this stunt that was the end of it I only really watched maybe five minutes of the show and then I went somewhere else to get clips

1:40:04 opposed to wasting my time on this stupid show. But then I noticed that this tease, and I remember that earlier I saw this on Shark Tank because I only watched a few minutes of that and I couldn't take that either. Just sick of it! What's the point? Why don't they just tell us who it is and then go to some commercial and maybe there'll be something interesting we don't think...I think trying to trick people to stick around It's a very annoying feature. It's kind of done, it's old-fashioned and anachronism in todays media landscape Very much like the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards which I watched on Sunday That doesn't surprise me In fact you'd be surprised if we didn't talk about it beforehand

CHAPTER 27 / 42 Discussion

MTV Video Music Awards, Record Low Ratings and Political Content

The 2017 MTV Video Music Awards hit an all-time ratings low with only 5.4 million viewers. Host Katy Perry and various presenters were criticized for heavy political messaging and poor production choices, including cutting off a suicide prevention tribute by Jared Leto for a commercial break.

mtv vmas· katy perry· ratings· jared leto· political activism

1:40:48 It's interesting because I saw a promo for it on Friday, and I think I'd read somewhere. It's coming up on Sunday and the promo Ended with coming soon or state you know info soon kind of like a hip way of saying hey We're gonna tell you when it is no that's not a hip way to do it And it paid off or not because the headline everywhere MTV Video Music Awards lowest ratings of all time All time because I think I didn't know stop for a second game of thrones.

Who every other line was Trump hate Every other joke was a Trump joke But they're so clueless at a certain point What's his name Jared Leto Lito leto leto He does A tribute to his friend from Lincoln Park who committed suicide And he has this whole big spiel and it's a wind-up and then he performs And they show 30 seconds and then they do the billboards of, brought to you by Pepsi. And they go to commercial! They did this two times. What? They had a guy brought there to perform and cut his performance off to go to a commercial? Yes. Why?! I didn't know any people on the credit so it's a completely different outfit. I have no idea who produced it It was very poorly done

She's the Illumina a Couple of the star a lot of the stars head or this celebs Came out on the red carpet wearing yellow Stars This is now a new Trump hate thing What's the yellow star? Is that a Jewish star? Yeah, Jew. In fact... Are they living in the ghetto or I mean what is the point of this? They're saying we're Jews and the Nazis will not get us. What has Trump got to do with that?! Well because Trump condoned it! He condoned it. He condoned it. Condoned it? It's a lot of...I'm telling you there's a lot of virtue signaling going on quite a bit and what were their ultimate ratings let me see

1:43:32 They had... let me see. Oh! Oh my god, 5.4 million viewers That's bad. That's cable ratings Yeah that is really bad I mean that's lousy cable ratings And i don't know if they had simulcast because they used to sell it to Fox and Fox would air as well- I don't think so Boy, they've really lost the plot on that Really lost it Kathy Griffin was on, uh... How does this guy get back on the air? It's beyond me. Who? Kathy Griffin! Oh well she is on the air in Australia. Yeah but they played that story here. She went to Australia and then everyone picked it up and ran it. Well everyone picked up a 30 second clip

Kathy Griffin, Sam Armitage Interview and Trump Controversy

Comedian Kathy Griffin discussed the total collapse of her career following the controversial photo of her holding a likeness of President Trump's severed head. In an interview with Sam Armitage, Griffin retracted her previous apology and lashed out at the journalist, labeling her a "white Trump voter."

1:44:29 Okay. And I thought the longer version was much more interesting, she did a whole media blitz or she didn't a number of the morning shows and the one that you saw the 31 second clip up which is in a regular podcast environment someone would take the thirty-one second clip Oh! I've got her saying your crazy stop being crazy that's crap The No Agenda show we go and we find the original source material, and then we edit it to fit our narrative. Okay? So here is Kathy with Sam... Sammy Armitage And she's promoting her upcoming tour in Australia This is the fool I don't even want to call him the president I just call him the fool or the moron Or the cheeto or something Yeah, I just wanted to leave all that in You just need to hear these things The Cheeto Oh thats dynamite stuff The Fool, The Moron, The Cheeto

1:45:14 The Cheeto, I like the Cheeto. This is the Cheeto that got her banned from the air Yeah, the Cheeto This is a fool! It gets much better when you hear how sad it really is what's happened to poor Kathy I don't even want to call him the president. I just call him the fool or the moron, or the cheeto, or something." But anyway this is a guy who while we're having a disastrous hurricane Harvey and people are dying in Houston and all over Texas maybe Louisiana he's spending taxpayer dollars on the Kathy Griffin two-month federal investigation And then now in light of all the crazy stuff that he and this administration are doing pardoning Joe Arpaio who was a federal criminal who was convicted of a crime but never served time

1:45:57 Interesting there's that convicted of a crime never served time before the pardon thing that you identified on the last show. Yeah Yes, and I find it interesting that people are bitching about this pardon seemingly not understanding what a pardon is. Generally speaking there's some crime involved whether it's a judicial crime or a statute crime or something written down something not written down but there's a crime involved that you generally are accused of or have committed to get the pardon in the first place if there was no crime or anything else

1:46:33 You wouldn't get a pardon. Right? So why is everyone so shocked that Trump pardoned somebody Oh, I see you know what i'm saying Yeah hey! I know what you're saying. I know what you're saying man. You know what I am saying This an argument that doesn't work I've seen it everywhere on social media Well Obama uh... Pardoned over 1500 people and terrorists And people who killed people and blew people up True all true but It is uh.. Doesn't hold water It's a pardon. He was a convicted racist. Convicted racist, yes. Who is a federal criminal who is convicted of a crime but never served time... The transgender ban you know Wow it's just the transgender ban I mean it sounds great but it's not exactly truthful

1:47:21 The transgender ban. You just can't be trans now in America, it's like no it's a ban on trans. It's a ban you can't be trans. Transban! Transban! Evicted of a crime but never served time the transgender ban you know he's just also he's done he's unhinged. You apologize? Yeah. You are very upset are you're no longer sorry for it Correct, I'm no longer sorry. The whole outrage was a BS the whole thing got so blown out of proportion and I lost everybody Oh she lost everybody now remember She just bitched at the president while people are drowning and dying in Houston He's pardoning a convicted racist and she lost everybody

1:48:09 Did she lose everybody in Houston? Did her friends drown, did they have property destroyed? And I lost everybody. Like, I had Chelsea Clinton tweeting against me! I had friends... Deborah Messing from Will and Grace tweeting against me Oh my God This is really important. This is so much more important than anything, Kathy. Deborah Messing! The goddess from Will and Grace... By the way I predict that's gonna flop that comeback. I predict a big flop on the comeback. Big flop because they're gonna be all Trump hate and it's not gonna be that funny

1:48:49 No, you can't be funny if you're... It's limited. It's very limited is very limited and you're ruining then there's half the audience that television let's start with that television is Trump Trumpville I mean the audience is half at least half of these people support Trump that watch television in the first place You know the people like that voted for him in Pennsylvania? Do you know what they're watching now watching television? Yeah, they're watching Shark Tank and The Voice And you know why they're watching? Because they can't wait to find out who won after the commercial. Friends! Yeah, well that's them not me. Messing from Will and Grace tweeting against me I mean I lost everybody and so I have been through the mill and um...I also You know I didn't just lose like one night on CNN My entire tour was canceled within 24 hours because every single theater got all these death threats I mean these Trump fans They're hardcore They have like robocalls

1:49:44 and they're a minority but they know how to act like they're a majority. Deborah Messing and Chelsea Clinton aren't Trump fans, even Democrats said it was out of line I get the comedy is about pushing the boundaries and being politically incorrect Now this was not on your clip now was it? No, as a matter of fact it wasn't and I feel bad now And that's what I like because there's also an ending to it cuz that's why we do this on this show and one of the two Of us always manages to pull down the pants real deal rats Said it was out of line. I get the comedy is about pushing the boundaries and being politically incorrect, and that's fine But do you not agree that that picture? Holding up a severed head. I know it's a mask covered in tomato sauce but did you do not accept that was a little bit over-the-line

1:50:35 No, you're full of crap. Stop this! You know this stop acting like my little picture is more important than talking about the actual atrocities that the president of the United States is committing and I'm also on a mission to tell people honestly if it happened to me as big-mouthed and obnoxious as I am It can happen to you like honestly This is a big change she's so I don't know if you know this but my My actual genuine real life neighbors, 10 feet away are Kim Kardashian West and Kanye Kardashian West. So if you don't think I'm going to be talking about that... I will. Oh wow! As a neighbor? Because think about it, I'm in trouble... Now listen to how she comes around and slams the host for what she just said For what she said was well hold on a second Chelsea Clinton and Debra Messing they're Democrats They're anti-Trump so what is exactly your problem? Because think about it, I'm in trouble according to you Sam who way to take my back girl Well no

1:51:34 I'm here to answer your questions. And it was a big thing, and that's why- Hold on stop stop. Can you back up a little bit because...I think did you hear this? That Kathy says, I know your type? Oh yeah! Yeah oh yeah but she's gonna complete that sentence. I know your type. She's going to come back and say it here. As a Naiva. Because think about it, I am in trouble according to you Sam who way to take my back girl. Well no, not I'm a journalist, Kathy. I mean it! I know your type. And it was... It was a big thing and that's why You're like the white Trump voter in America No, thats not fair, Kathy Calm down you're fine Do you hear that? You are like the white Trump voter in America But I know your type White Trump voter in America You speak against me, you white Trump voter from America, you I know your type Thanks for having my back girl This woman is not okay She's insane Yeah this really not okay

Gone with the Wind, Memphis Theater Cancellation Controversy

The Orpheum Theatre in Memphis cancelled its annual screening of "Gone with the Wind" after 34 years following complaints that the film is racially insensitive. Critics of the decision pointed out the film's historical significance, including Hattie McDaniel becoming the first African American to win an Oscar.

1:52:33 That's hateful. She just hate full white white you're white God I can't take my skin off Wow That was like that's about give you a second clip of the day. Oh, well jeez Let's look at a couple other nutty things I do want to say that I was right and I believe I put it in the book Did we not put in the book gone with the wind would be a problem? I think you said it, but i don't remember putting in the book. Gone with the Wind will be gone from the Orpheum Summer Movie Series, The Theatre Boy said on Friday. Oh beautiful! Hold on...

1:53:20 Thank you. I'm glad you have that Confederate monuments the split in US society is now moving to the world of big screen one cinema and Memphis has cancelled The annual showing of the 1939 classic movie gone with a wind The iconic film about love and civil war was reportedly accused of being racist by America's left-wing Based on Margaret Mitchell's novel Gone With A Wind it set on a southern plantation way back during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods So, now that cancellation after 34 years has fired up social media. Some on one side incredulous the film was dropped others stressing that art should be out of politics some tweets were accompanied with a hashtag Hattie McDaniel after the actress who played the housemaid The history of her she became the first African-American to be nominated for and to win an Academy Award

1:54:24 Back then, the film producer collaborated closely with rights groups to prevent accusations of racism. Writer and political activist Jeffrey Mark Klein believes that from monuments to award-winning films the country's left wing is trying to rewrite America's history right now It's kind of insane that they would claim this movie as insensitive when Hattie McDaniel is the first black person to win an Oscar. So that movie has very historical significance, even just for that fact I guess there's a chance that the management of the theater is afraid that radical left groups like Antifa are going to show up and destroy the theater if... Anyway he goes on Yeah well let's just stay in the movie business Also called out Is Stephen King's It The adaption- The movie adaption Of his novel

National Anthem, Slavery References and Abolitionist Criticism

Recent editorial pieces in outlets like Salon have called for the replacement of the U.S. National Anthem, citing controversial lyrics in the third stanza. Critics argue the song celebrates the death of "hirelings and slaves," though historians debate the specific context of those lines within the War of 1812.

1:55:19 Boston University scholar claiming his classic horror novel it and the upcoming movie adaptation are problematic because its protagonists are white straight and able-bodied That's right. Yep, it's racist. It's racist Straight and able bodied so that's a racist movie I guess so but wait There's more. Oh, there's much more it's coming around again you called this very early on another neo-confederate symbol that needs to be removed is the national anthem

1:55:58 We knew this was coming. You absolutely called that and Salon is now writing about it, since all of DC reads Salon and if you do read all of the National Anthem there is some stuff in there that could be a slave derivative so... They say its referring to the Confederate States but the Confederate States did not exist Shut up! That's slavery I'm never going to talk about was the Civil War, about states' rights or slaves. The amount of email and people who are authorities and know it all... Most who know it all. Ah Jesus so much! But did you know this?

Menthol Cigarettes, Proposed Ban and Racial Marketing Claims

U.S. Senators have renewed calls for a ban on menthol cigarettes, arguing that tobacco companies disproportionately target African American communities with their marketing. The proposed ban is framed as a public health necessity to reduce addiction rates among specific demographics.

The Root, "Five Types of Becky" Racial Stereotypes

The Root published a controversial article by Michael Harriot defining "Five Types of Becky," a slang term for white women who allegedly use their privilege as a weapon. The piece categorizes various public figures, including Taylor Swift and Hillary Clinton, into sub-types based on their perceived social behaviors.

the root· becky· racial stereotypes· taylor swift· hillary clinton

1:58:22 She says she was a phony in that last clip. Well, she made it very clear She said it was she was a phony. She said that she faked the Apology and the whole thing with bullcrap. It was insincere. She wasn't really sorry She's just admitted to being a phony so this is gonna happen well. She's uh. She's a Becky From Uzbekistan? No, she's a Becky. B-E-C-K-Y. A Becky! You don't know what a Becky is?! No I do not want to know what a Becky is... Good, I didn't either until I read it on The Root. TheRoot.com. TheRoot.com is the... Inform us please. Yes, I just wanna explain The Root.com is owned by NBC It is a black run website Black issues African American but they say black here themselves so black and uh What was the title of this? There are five types of Becky

1:59:10 And it caught my attention. I read all this stuff. Becky, noun a white woman who uses her privilege as a weapon, a ladder or an excuse Example A random Becky hit me up on Twitter to explain why not all white women are racist Did you see? It's a Becky and other examples of Beckys are Kim Kardashian Taylor Swift Tommy Lauren Amy Schumer And interestingly enough Hillary Clinton What kind of a Becky is Hillary? I don't... Well, let's look at the definition again. A white woman who uses her privilege as a weapon, a ladder or an excuse. Hello! I'm a white woman that's why didn't become president. Becky. Becky you're a Becky. Total Becky Yeah you could all say Becca or Rebecca What about women who are actually named Becky what should they be taking offense to this? I would think so. I don't know but it's very interesting article and

2:00:15 They do have, let's see famous. Oh so they actually categorize it in different types of Becky So if you ever Rebecca that's the standard off-the-shelf Becky with no adornments around whom the entire world revolves. When alt-writers recite the 14 words, which are because the beauty of the white Aryan woman must not perish from the earth this is about who they're talking...this is what they're talking about This is why Taylor Swift... What did you just quote? The fourteen words! Is there something called the Fourteen Words I'm aware of? Yeah it came up on the show several months ago And at some point, I think Trump had said something the number 14 and it was ah! He's a racist. It's like the KKK and I could hear you clicking the keyboard yes The fourteen words are like a Nazi neo-Nazi thing And the fourteen words... This is all on the root? This is all on the roots yeah So famous Rebecca's But listen Famous Rebecca's Number 1 Taylor Swift

2:01:15 You see, and that's why she is hated. Yes! She is a Rebecca When did this get published? This was published...this past Tuesday Well she has been hated before this got published No I know but it may have been already in the works It has been in the works yeah oh yeah Then you have a Becca She is number one Becky? No she is a Re- Taylor Swift? She is Rebecca Oh she is a Rebecca Yeah Taylor Swift and Megyn Kelly It's the girl in your study group who makes an A while doing none of the work. That's famous Rebecca. Now we have Becca, these are the most innocent of all Beckys

2:01:56 She volunteers the local Boys and Girls Club, teaching underprivileged youths. She voted for Barack Obama. She wears a safety pin and has a Black Lives Matter t-shirt on One of Becca's best friends is black. She is an ally! Did I mention she voted for Barack Obama? Do you see how you're being mocked, Beccas?! Identifying call of the Becca quote, I voted for Barack Obama twice Famous Beckas Hillary Clinton and Katy Perry white women who work at nonprofits Then we have the Bekisha. Part of the privilege of Beckingdom rests in its members' unflagging belief that everything belongs to them." So this has got nothing to do with nasty stereotyping whatsoever? I don't think so, I can't find it!

2:02:43 For this subset of Becky's, culture history and black penis are all disposable commodities for them to use and discard at their whim. In their belief system you can't be offended when they appropriate a culture or call something ghetto because they don't have a racist bone in their body plus they once had a black boner inside their body so how can they be racist? It says that... Yes! Identify... No, you put that in. No! I said-I'm reading it verbatim. Holy crap! Identifying call? I dated a black guy in college! Famous bakishas? Anyone with the last name Kardashian, Miley Cyrus, Rachel Dolezal and white girls who twerk That's pretty much all of them Then we have the Reba

2:03:26 Reba believes in equality. Reba is a feminist, Reba is woke. Hold on stop again sorry I have to keep interrupting this okay? This is a gem. I know it's great isn't it who wrote this the author of this Michael Harriet A guy yeah a guy He's a reporter. Does he have a little bio at the bottom? Does it say anything about him? Well, he has a link let's click on by the way The guy is hilarious Michael fantastic work! He has the five types of Becky white guy lies about black anti-fascist stabbing him because of his Nazi haircut Donald Trump's election stealing

2:04:06 Doesn't have a bio. There's no bio Oh here, okay his staff writer for the root host of the black one podcast I gotta listen to that an editor-in-chief of The Daily Digital Magazine niggas who read all right nice Now we're at the Reba Reba believes in equality think I've heard this guy's podcast That is great. It's pretty bad in terms of this racist, let's put it that way. Reba believes in equality. Reba is a feminist. Reba is woke. Reba believes in the woman's right to choose and wore pink pussy hat to the women's march but Reba believes all lives matter. Reba speaks of the glass ceiling but wonders why black people always play the race card? Reba believes that a woman has the right to do whatever she wants with her body but agrees that your hair is unprofessional

2:04:53 Reba loves Beyonce's Single Ladies, but wonders why she had to pay homage to the Black Panthers at the Super Bowl and mention Negro Noses in formation. Reba cried for Justin Diamond and Heather Heyer But if you mention Rekia Boyd or Sandra Bland, Reba will ask is that the one who was on the Olympics gymnastics team? Uh... Identifying call not all white women dot-dot-dot Famous Rebas Amy Schumer Lena Dunham And all Jezebel readers And then Bexzilla Bexzilla's don't give a fuck. They roam the streets stomping on everything, setting the world ablaze by spewing the flames of privilege every time they breathe If a Bexzilla is caught in a compromising position she knows she can weasel her way out of it by tossing an innocent black body under the bus

2:05:40 She will scream bloody murder and watch silently while a faultless black boy is beaten to a pulp. She will shoot a black man in the back and claim she feared for her life A Bexzilla will castigate blackness for a career boost, an ounce of sympathy or just because she can. A Bexzilla will fuck you then she will fuck you! They always fuck you! Identify and call What's a Becky? Famous Bexzillas Betsy DeVos Betty Shelby Kellyanne Conway Tommy Lahren Tommy Larren seems to be in more than one category here. Yeah, I just found this to be an incredible piece well it's funny but it absolutely violates all the codes of Stereotyping and all these other things that are the left are supposed to be so much against well. I don't know if he's left No, he's dope. I would think so I would think so he's totally left

2:06:38 Or he wouldn't even be writing in the guy needs to get laid. That's for sure this is Anyway, hello white women screw y'all I'm glad I'm glad now you can now You know who feels like you're hated apparently? You're hated by black women according to the root and they have names for you when they laugh behind your back at your pink pussyhat Man, we are in trouble. That is a... We are gonna link in the show notes of that piece. I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah! That'd be fab On NO AGENDA

2:12:23 Need to call out my millennial son Jeffrey who hit me in the mouth earlier this year but has not contributed recently. Keep up the great work bringing sanity and reason to an insane world." Thank you very much. The guy gets a promotion, he calls on his boss as a douche. This is like that...this reminds of that story that went all around us. There's another story that was played up a lot some dumb guy some dumb professor in Florida Rights, I think it the Texans deserve the hurricane because of Trump. Yeah is it supported? He got fired and he got fired yeah of course Moron and I'm reminded of course of this this is not a new phenomenon It started with the blogging era. I've always gotten to kick out of Bloggers who would you know call out their their bosses in their blogs thinking the bus is never gonna get wind of it yeah d'oh

2:13:21 We had a guy that, it's just a side story. We had a guy at Tech TV who just got hired this guy and one of the producers they had was just a blog nut. They'd read everything and they always do due diligence on whoever they hire so they know who they were working with. And they found this guys blog and he was going on about how he is working with a bunch of boneheads at Tech TV and you can't wait to get out of here! It's the stupidest place he has ever been Was it on GeoCities that he put this? It was something like that. It was something Obscure or LiveJournal Hey, and you know what just before we continue because I did write this down as something to talk about

2:14:00 You know, we look at all this hate and all this yelling and the social media. I have to say...I've been around but even in the early days of Usenet, the news groups which is how they later, but even when they were storing forward just for children for those you who are new to the internet back in the day you'd have your news groups which were like little bulletin boards kind of like Reddit I would say except here's how it worked in our day You'd read the post, you then oh I'm gonna reply to this person and then that reply would be swept up once an evening. And then shipped around the internet all the different nodes and they would synchronize... ...and it had names like alt dot sexuality dot horses. And I don't know why that came to mind! So your replies to your posts probably wouldn't come until the next day

2:14:58 But my point is, the snark and the hate and the meaningfulness was there then. It's the same! And my conclusion is people are so... My initial conclusion was people are assholes. Then I thought no. The reason why this is going back to the early days of the Inkernet Is that people were so frustrated being slaves of the actual Gitmo nation They're so frustrated with their lives, with their jobs, with the shit they're told to do. Then they did that just letting loose because it's kind of anonymous no one can hurt you no one is going to pop in the nose You can be anywhere and that's why we do it We are so unhappy with our lives

2:15:45 subconsciously more than likely. I think it probably, i don't...I was..i watched a very good uh one of these guys ex-CIA guy can't remember his last name going on bitching and moaning about this shadow government and the dark whatever it's called and it was good! It was a good lecture. I enjoyed it. I'll send a copy yeah please do yeah i'd like to see it. I mean he's actually very good the guy was very good And he outlined a scheme to take over the world, because it's all about one-world government. It is a slow process and all the rest of it. I also combined this with an Illuminati lecture which I couldn't resist but...I'm thinking that there's a scheme afoot! And I do believe there has always been this desire to have one world government because its only way that rich people can keep their stuff. That's my argument. I think the internet has screwed up all plans

2:16:40 I think the internet came along too fast. It was out of control, it wasn't regulated. It wasn't regulated and i think that did...I think its ruined everything! And I think not just that, but a lot of stuff is ruined. I think it's ruined social interaction, it seems to be ruining the democracy uh...it's ruining civility. Its ruined alot and I think this scheme now is going right into the toilet. And ill tell you, it ruined Usenet No, actually. Alt dot binaries ruined Usenet. Remember that? If you want to download one porn picture... You had to assemble 8000 messages from that? You had to select all of these messages that have partials of the binary

2:17:27 Actually, I do remember that but I thought the bypass for that was to just because during the use net the CBBS movement was still really strong and they had just straight downloaded porn. You can get porn from a bunch of guys. I remember one guy used to be uh... Let me tell you kids something else The first time i downloaded porn from the internet which is just a picture it was a progressive gif Remember those that came in progressive? Yeah, it gets a man to take two twenty passes before you actually get no one megabyte file One hour one hour. It would take one hour to download 1 megabyte. Well, what do you did make it by files too big I just want people to know

2:18:15 Just remember. Anyway, we digress I'm sorry i just wanted to make that point We were back in my day That's right We had a 1200 baud modem and then when the 2400 baud modem came out we went wow this thing is twice as fast! I started off with a 600 baud modem although I had a 300 baud modem but there was this one company that made a 600 baud that was great Excuse me, I started with a 75 baud modem Boom Who made a 75? I made it myself. I built my own 75 baud modem Well, I think yeah with my zx-80 It was and it had it wasn't it was an acoustic 75 bought modem can anyone talk to me no Yes, I had a buddy who who had a Commodore Vic 20

2:19:04 And it was acoustic and we just ripped apart an old phone, I'm just reverse put the horn right on top. And I'd press a key on my pad and it would show up on his. And then...

CIA Declassified Report, Russian Soldiers Turned to Stone

A declassified CIA document, citing a 250-page KGB dossier, describes an encounter in Siberia where 23 Russian soldiers were reportedly turned to stone by aliens. The report claims that after a UFO was shot down, five extraterrestrial beings merged into a ball of light that petrified the soldiers into a limestone-like substance.

cia· kgb· aliens· siberia· petrification

2:33:10 So I was listening to a podcast and it was, anyone who's heard this guy? Can't remember his name. He's got some crazy name but he does a bunch of things. News stories about aliens and abductions and stuff like that And here is the second half, I could read this report myself. I went to the CIA site it does exist so everything he's doing here this is only written up by one or two outlets nobody seems to find it interesting It was just a secret document just recently released by the CIA like a week ago no one's talking about it This guy reports on it He reads from it and I think its more interesting than listening to me hear different voices Second half of his show

2:33:50 The Stone Soldiers Report. A declassified CIA report claims that a troop of Russian soldiers were turned into stone by aliens after they attempting to gun down the extraterrestrials According to a top secret document posted on the official CIA website, 23 Russian soldiers died in a macabre way as result of battle with group of 5 aliens in Siberia. The Sun reports The newspaper reports of 250-page KGB dossier on the UFO attack

2:34:30 which included pictures and witness testimonies, reveals the Daily Express. The report stated that the flying saucer had appeared over a military unit training in Siberia One of the soldiers is said to have taken it down with a surface-to-air missile It's said five short humanoids with large heads and large black eyes got out as the typical looking alien grey they're describing Just two soldiers are said to have survived the encounter. The report claims five beings emerged from the crashed craft and joined together to form a ball of light which then exploded turning 23 soldiers into stone. The report reads, the KGB report goes on to say that remains of petrified soldiers were transferred to secret research institution near Moscow

2:35:27 Specialists assumed that a source of energy still unknown to Earthlings instantly changed the structure of the soldiers' living organisms, having transformed it into a substance whose molecular structure was no different to limestone. A CIA representative stated at the end of the report if the KGB file corresponds to reality this is an extremely menacing case." Wait, there's more. The aliens possess such weapons and technology that go beyond all our assumptions they can stand up for themselves if attacked. Because I have it here in front of me. You have the printout? Yes, yeah it'll be in the JCD clips part of the show notes

2:36:14 There's a number of things that I first thing i heard was well there's the KGB did this in 93. This happened to 93, KGB was disbanded at 91. I immediately figured this is bullcrap and somebody's playing a trick but I went back to look at the original report and in fact the way it's discussed is that 93 date is not what when it was no you know it may have been in 90. I mean, this seems as though the KGB report was discovered in 93 after the cache of documents was released to the CIA and others from the KGB after they had disbanded. And so this event could have taken place it took place obviously sometime before 91 right? But what if this guy goes on the guy doing the reporting said that now they're thinking that a lot of statues and things

2:37:07 The fragile kinds of statues that are around are actually, they're not statues at all. Some of the stuff that old Greek and Roman stuff that looks like a statue it's actually somebody who has been turned to stone by aliens. Nice! And they found a big... There's these things called mud statues that are apparently scattered around Africa. And one guy examining one of them started chipping away at it and inside the statue was chocolate! Was a rib cage. Wow! Which doesn't make any sense. Sounds legit? Sounds totally legit, and so the thing to note is that

2:37:48 By this report, and again if you go to the CIA archives which you can do. And they have a search engine You put in UFO, there's not going to be anything. There is a ton of stuff So the thing to note in this report is that the aliens were shot down When they got out of their little spaceship, they formed...they grabbed each other or something to form a light. Like the Apple Genius Bar? Exactly! So they all got together in some form and I think obviously what they were describing was as transporter

2:38:30 because they turn into a ball of light and it disappeared. And the only guys who didn't turn into stone were couple of guys that apparently were in the shadows or something, and the light didn't really hit them. So is this so? It seems as if the transport mechanism used by the aliens has got a side effect that is not welcome stories for these guys have been turned to stone. Yeah. Oh, okay so that wasn't... oh interesting So I don't think it was a weapon And you think my moon base is crazy? Well, the moon base thing is getting a little heated up now. Yeah since we have a moon base space force funded by the Pentagon... just little things like that you know when I was reading this report as we were listening to that podcast and by the way it's Israeli Moon Base yes Israeli I'm sorry i thought of Homo Capensis yeah I know you sent that to me. Oh yeah Homo Capensis. Homo Capensus because you know the big heads its big heads it's interesting

CHAPTER 36 / 42 Discussion

Kathy O'Neil, Weapons of Math Destruction and Algorithmic Bias

Mathematician Kathy O'Neil discussed her concept of "Weapons of Math Destruction," referring to secret and destructive algorithms used in insurance, hiring, and credit scoring. She argued that these "black box" formulas often automate the status quo and hide human biases under the guise of objective mathematics.

kathy o'neil· algorithms· big data· weapons of math destruction· ted talk

2:39:35 And the big heads thing and so I would die and it's not a but it's kind of a misshapen head. And I think people that have that perfect egg-shaped head, mm-hmm. I think maybe home will compensates we'll talk about that on another show Yeah more information We do we knew yeah, we do need more information Wow. I am really high nice Nice second half John let me get back to Little I got somebody's gotta do it. I appreciate that you do it I have a piece of a TED talk from Kathy O'Neill and she is a mathematician and data scientist. But, I wager to say she is a social justice warrior of sorts...and this is not a TEDx, this was an official TED Talk so you know the deal those are what 15 minutes 20 minutes? 18! So I broke it down

2:40:34 And this, it's kind of... well it's not. It's typical for this show where I have this all set up to say watch out! Algos are going to be called racist and we actually have a new story that came out today that says as the headline turns out algorithms are racist but I'll play this for you so you can get an idea about what...it is informative because we talk about algos all the time. I inherently understand it I deal with them on a daily basis. Actually, you know...I've been around! A lot of people think it's magic. Algorithms are everywhere they sort and separate the winners from the losers The winners get the job or good credit card offer The losers don't even get an interview Or they pay more for insurance We're being scored with secret formulas that we don't understand

2:41:25 that often don't have systems of appeal. That begs the question, what if the algorithms are wrong? To build an algorithm you need two things. You need data, what happened in the past and a definition of success, the thing you're looking for and often hoping for. You train an algorithm by figuring out... The algorithm figures out what is associated with success. What situation leads to success? Algorithms are opinions embedded in code It's really different from what you think most people think of algorithms. They think algorithms are objective and true and scientific, that's a marketing trick. It's also a marketing trick to intimidate you with algorithms, to make you trust and fear algorithms because you trust in your mathematics. A lot can go wrong when we put blind faith in big data

2:42:20 But algorithms can go wrong, even have deeply destructive effects with good intentions. And whereas an airplane that's designed badly crashes to the earth and everyone sees it, an algorithm designed badly can go on for a long time silently wreaking havoc Algorithms don't make things fair if you just blindly apply algorithms. They don't make things fair, they repeat our past practices or patterns. They automate the status quo but the data scientists in those companies are told to follow the data and focus on accuracy. What's going on?

2:42:58 Data laundering. It's a process by which technologists hide ugly truths inside black box algorithms and call them objective, call them meritocratic when they're secret important and destructive I've coined a term for these algorithms weapons of mass destruction. He coined the term! That is good isn't it? I never heard that before weapons of mass destruction math math math oh math oh Oh its a pun They're everywhere and it's not a mistake. These are private companies building private algorithms for private ends, they call it their secret sauce that's why they can't tell us about it It's also private power they are profiting from wielding the authority of the inscrutable

2:43:48 And she had many examples, and they're listed in this article that came out today as well. The main ones are teachers getting fired because an algo said that they were not up to snuff based upon the test results... ...and these algorithms that are used to determine that are not being disclosed. Different interest rates if you're black or Latino If you're, well if you're of a certain age. I'm completely on board with her! Yeah, of course...I am too. Well you should be You're the one that got screwed over because she didn't have a credit card or whatever and the algo said this guy's no good He has no debt That's right What kind of guys worth it crap in this country if you don't have any debt? Nothing, nothing No but the algo... I've just gone to personally we do have credit

2:44:38 cards and we do have good numbers, but I just buy screw. I don't care if I can't buy it in cash except for real estate obviously. Oh hey you know what? Just while you say that think about the two things i want to think about there's no money in Houston There is no money people have no money You can't buy anything People aren't walking around with cash anymore No money, no ATM And how did that running away How did that escape work for you with your electric vehicle Did you evacuate really quickly? Is your vehicle short circuit yet?" No cash. So the other thing that is done by ALGOS is climate. I think you made a good point, people should have $10,000 in cash or at least five if they can save that much

2:45:27 Or at least a thousand. There's no money! I know, there is no money. People don't have money anymore. They don't carry any money anywhere. My mother used to be the old-fashioned type she'd always have thousands of dollars under the mattress She did! But also ALGOS are also this is the same technology quote that determines climate models and all of this stuff and I'm glad people are starting...I'm happy for this TED talk because people start to think about it they're only thinking about in racist terms right now But the algos in your life, and there should be an all-out attack on Silicon Valley for their... they need to publish the algos. But no it's a secret sauce." Yeah that's bogus! I liked Weapons of Math Destruction. It'd be good showtime if it wasn't so long. I kind of enjoyed it.

Australia Father's Day, "Special Persons Day" Renaming Proposal

Some schools in Australia have proposed renaming Father's Day to "Special Persons Day" to be more inclusive of children from diverse family structures. Dr. Red Ruby Scarlett, a social justice academic, defended the change as a way to ensure all children feel a sense of belonging regardless of their home environment.

australia· father's day· special persons day· social justice· inclusivity

2:46:27 Then I'd like to pop down under for a second as we've done great work in America. We have, I mean i'm so happy that...I'm so happy that we have such influence on Australia They're now becoming just as retarded as we are. But let's turn now to the push to rename Fathers Day Special Persons day so children without a dad aren't offended A growing number of politically correct schools and kindies are embracing the name change but they're copping a lot of criticism for it Now earlier I spoke with Dr Red Ruby Scarlett, a university academic and convener of the Social Justice in Early Childhood Activist Group

2:47:09 If we think about children's rights and how they get to participate in a community and feel a sense of belonging, sometimes shifting the language around those emotive and important days can be significant and more inclusive than the current way that we describe them. So is it essentially though for children who don't have a dad for whatever reason? Yes but also there are children who have a dad, who also have a grandfather and also have an auntie and also had other kinds of relatives also a huge range of different family structures. So we have single-parent families, satellite families extended families lesbian and gay families. But there has been a backlash?

2:47:49 There has been a backlash, but the backlash hasn't necessarily come from families in those communities. It's people outside those particular contexts Your activist group is social justice in early childhood Why is social justice important for little kids? There's a lot of Australian research that has actually informed a lot of international research teacher research for example that has demonstrated children's capacity to be really inclusive once they know about these ideas and I think wow why are people seeing this as a controversy? Why are we calling this political correctness when in fact it's about our rights. Oh, it's our rights! It's our rights to not have a dad thanks more war on men yeah war on men yes war on men the special person also has a kind of a subtext

2:48:39 Of, you know brain damage or something. Maybe handicapped He's a special person we should give him a special day for his special person This is subtext that what it implies Yeah As far as I can tell And it's a bogus holiday Congratulations Australia Yeah, that's way out in front. You guys are leading the way! You're now trending... you're thought leaders in this area. Very good. She kind of admitted that. We're great number one we're doing beyond the bullcrap you guys are doing. We put Kathy Griffin on the air That's right on the air and in the clubs I read this article in Russia Insider because you know I collude with Russia

CHAPTER 38 / 42 Discussion

Russia Insider, Arrested Emotional Development in America

An article in Russia Insider argued that American society is suffering from "Arrested Emotional Development" (AED), characterized by adolescent behavior in adults. The author cited late-night hosts like Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert as examples of puerile humor and a lack of adult supervision in cultural institutions.

russia insider· arrested emotional development· jimmy fallon· stephen colbert· hillary clinton

2:49:28 And it's from, who is this? Dr. Paul Kindlin who I don't know He's a humanities professor and he says you know i've been observing American society in an objective manner he says and it's become clear the country is suffering from an epidemic of Arrested emotional development This is a real thing arrested AED arrested emotional development this particular illness is characterized by some combination of addiction, greed, immaturity, fear blame shame resentments anger confusion suffering. What it means is that the vast majority of Americans are stuck in adolescence exhibiting behavior like lying negative attitudes disobedience disrespect drug and alcohol abuse depression and issues of sexuality

2:50:18 One only has to watch American movies or television shows to get a snapshot of juvenile, puerile and base comedy characteristic of adolescent humor. It's no accident that 42-year old Jimmy Fallon is essentially the eternal teenager performing comedy that mostly includes bathroom humor and gags that are based on and appeal to a silly sense of immaturity The other darling of late night shows in America, Stephen Colbert who specializes in insulting public figures in overtly adolescent display a negative attitude and disrespect. Another hallmark of AED is to evade responsibility and blame others for failure, Hillary. One has only to observe the millions of Hillary supporters to understand this phenomenon Also common for AED sufferers is to show disrespect in sophomoric ways usually by damaging property as we see with monuments being defaced and destroyed

2:51:12 In terms of cognitive activity, AED is characterized by exaggeration over simplification. If you're angry with one of your parents, you might refer to them as Nazi or fascist." This is an interesting observation to me. Is it an article? Where was it? Russia Insider. Jeez! Arrested emotional development It's linked in the show notes. People should read it." Yeah, and it goes on... You can really compare it to everything they've been bringing. Pussy Riot and you know, it's uh... And the conclusion, if everyone is a teenager there's no adult supervision that's the problem. After an autopsy is conducted years from now to ascertain how and why the American empire expired thanks Russia Insider! The obituary will include multiple causes of death and AED will be listed prominently perhaps... Well that's where your adolescents are the ones running the colleges now with their safe zones and running certain professors out of their jobs. Oh man thank you for mentioning that University of Nebraska

University of Nebraska, Free Speech Zone Confrontation

A video surfaced of a University of Nebraska employee confronting students for distributing political material outside of a designated "free speech zone." The official claimed the students were spreading "propaganda" and required a reservation to use the specific campus plaza for their table.

university of nebraska· free speech zone· first amendment· campus protest· propaganda

2:52:15 There's an employee, this is just a short video that popped up on the face bag. It's a video of a Nebraska University of Nebraska employee I think ultimately calls the cops so these kids wanted to put outside of whatever hall on you know the public street one to put a little table with some political material. I'm pretty sure they're Trumpers and here's some of the audio of what took place, the conversation about why they couldn't be there and where they had to go.

2:53:12 If I have to ask you again, I'm gonna have to call UNLPD. It's up to you. Where is the free speech zone? Free speech zone is over here on the other side of the Memorial Plaza signs What was she doing that violates free speech? This is a reservable space that requires a reservation, but we don't have one. But I'm not inside? I am on the public property. It's everywhere from... So the constitution doesn't hold it. From the two signs okay so if you're on the other side of the two signs you've got free speech zone specifically over here between this sign Is this a public university? Canfield yes it is. Then why can't I speak up? The same reason you cant be inside like in the bathroom its this particular part is a reservable park but over there

2:53:50 He is correct. Free speech, yes public university, reservable space free speech zone. It's like the same spot where like the evangelist goes? Yes you guys can be over there that is free speech here because now you've got propaganda You've also got a table reservation. Uh...free speech zone over there no propaganda here That's not free speeches it's propoganda If your kid is at the University of Nebraska take your kid out of the University of Nebraska they're insane there Sounds like it. So Tucker Carlson had brought the story that didn't... I thought we had a pact? We do, we have a pact but i had to play this because the mainstream media refuses- And I saw this last night and I thought no we have a pact

Imran Awan, House IT Security Scandal and Second Email Account

New reports alleged that Imran Awan, the former IT aide to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, maintained a second active email account with access to the House network even after being banned as a security risk. Mark Steyn commented on the "malodorous" nature of the investigation and the lack of mainstream media coverage regarding the Pakistani national's activities.

2:54:40 And you broke the pact. I considered it! We sometimes break the pact, but you were gonna do it too But I didn't because I didn't break the pact Well...I broke the pact and apologized in advance but this story needs to be told because nobody wants to cover this story and its beyond me cause if im at editorial desk I wanna cover this story but they don't want to cover this story and is a great story Well, this saga of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her IT aide Imran Awan grows more complex and sordid by the day. Wasserman Schultz of Florida continued to employ Awan—he's a Pakistani national—for several months even after he was banned from the House computer network as a security risk. She refused to fire him until he was actually arrested at the airport trying to flee the country to go back

2:55:30 Pakistan and then was indicted on several federal charges. Weirdly enough, the plot gets even stranger from there. A new report by Luke Rosiak of The Daily Caller News Foundation reveals that Awan actually had a second account with access to the House network. That account was still active as of yesterday potentially providing Awan secret access to the House network—the very same network we just said he was banned as a security risk. The secondary email is linked to another House staffer who specializes in intel issues and works for House Intelligence Committee member Andre Carson Mark Stein is an author and a columnist, who despite being Canadian seems to care more about America's security than some members of the House of Representatives. Weirdly he joins us tonight. Mark I'm running out of kind of non-sinister explanations for this story. Now I am hoping you have Mark Stein response in your second clip because that was one of the funniest things i've seen in awhile

2:56:24 I don't have his whole response because he went on for a while because he was on a roll. Yeah, but I think the funnier... what I have is what you look for But what uh.. What i was going to say is that the problem with this report is no source where did it come from? Um and all I hear and read everything I could find about him was He has a second email address! And that gives him access to... That's bullshit Give me some technological information here Not just he had a second email account, which is linked to the house Intelligence that bullshit give me some did he have a login? Did he have been a log in Mark Stein says he had a login of something like well You know what I'm talking about. This is a shit report and it's terribly we doesn't do news He just wants the bitch okay why we've self banned him oh

2:57:14 But the only reason... Stein had me laughing out loud. No, Stein is very funny but the point that I'm gonna make after listening to that complaint is we can't get anything about this story anywhere nobody wants to report it Yeah your point on it and all you're going to get which is why I had to break the self-imposed ban The pact yes It packed! That's what I'm looking for yeah I had to break the pact just because this is as far as we can get Yeah, you're right. It's a crap report we know nothing where is the Washington Post on this? Where is the New York Times of course and here's what I concluded before I play the Stein stuff. I concluded this was CIA operation from beginning

2:57:58 CIA working in conjunction with the ISI, whatever it is. Yeah sure Pakistani ISI, CIA Deep State, absolutely yeah oh yes and they and the reason for the $300,000 stolen from the Democratic Party I guess we don't even know that's true No but that was from the federal loan credit union Well he stole it from somebody From the Federal Credit Union That was his payoff And the reason he was getting so much money from Debbie Wasserman Schultz because she wasn't really paying him anything This is a spook operation for some reason. I don't know what they were up to Huh, yeah that seems like a very logical... That seemed- Occam's razor for you right there Well the saga of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her IT aide Imran Awan grows more complex and sorted by the day. Wasserman Schultz- Is this? This says number two but it sounds like the same report I may have not flipped right

2:58:55 Let me see if you got Stein in here. See if it goes on longer I think it does. Rosiak of the Daily Caller News Foundation reveals that Owan actually had a second... No, it seems... Go further maybe I get them to him He was a security... Yeah okay yeah look at good sorry... Let me roll it back a little Imran Awan investigation. I really want to get it but, okay i don't have a waveform to look at. Non-sinister explanations for this story? Yeah because basically everything people as i said on your show a couple of months back basically everything people have been looking for in the so called Russia investigation is actually here in the more or less uncovered Imran Awan investigation this guy

2:59:41 had his access to house email withdrawn because he was a security risk yet he still had a house email and the house email which is something like 123 at House.gov suggests that in fact, he was rather deeply embedded inside the house email system there's nothing by the way just just did just to talk first principles here Tucker I don't actually see why a lot of low-grade congressmen actually require so called IT aids. And the fact that they have them is a potential security risk. So in a sane world, they wouldn't have IT aids but if they do, the idea that they subcontract them to one Pakistani family who are taking home extraordinary salaries that bear no relation to what low-grade IT aids can command and wind up owning four homes

3:00:41 in the Washington area and the official explanation for that is that he had at least two wives to support being a devout Muslim. This story, this story is malodorous to a degree than nothing surrounding Trump's involvement in the Miss Universe pageant in St Petersburg or wherever it was, is at all and nobody's interested in him. A spot of spook, spot of spook Everybody wants to spot the spook. Yes, that's right Spot the spook little insulting towards our dude named Ben in that particular bit I didn't like that Stein said that yeah great IT staffer man well next time your computers not working douche Sorry, I'd take offense to that

CHAPTER 41 / 42 Discussion

PBS Space Time, Quaternary Ice Age and Holocene Respite

The PBS Digital Studios podcast "Space Time" explored the possibility of a returning Ice Age, noting that the current Holocene warm period is a brief interglacial phase. Scientists explained that the Quaternary period has been dominated by long glacial stretches, making the current 11,000-year respite relatively short in geological terms.

pbs· ice age· quaternary· holocene· climate science

3:01:36 I'd like to know we'd all like to know a lot more and this well since they don't tell us anything. I have to assume This is the spook operation yeah, it's kind of gives itself away by that I mean because it's a good story if I was running the New York Times I'd want to run it but now they're just stole little just side stuff no this happened again get arrested No big deal well And we will hear nothing more no no I have one last clip which was clearly a mistake Big mistake. This is PBS, now PBS has their PBS Digital Studios which exists for one reason and one reason only to... Podcasting! Yes and to cater to the advertisers yeah but don't worry we'll make a little bit of thing for you But they have kind of an interesting little 20 minute video Is An Ice Age Coming? This is from the Space Time podcast It's a video podcast And this is the opening of it and I thought to myself self

3:02:36 This show's not gonna last. Earth's climate shifts between short periods of warm and long, long periods of frigid cold Based on past patterns there is reason to think that the current warm period might be nearly done Is the Ice Age coming back? Or will human activity swing us wildly in the opposite direction We live in an ice age Our geological period is the Quaternary And it's characterized by massive glaciation Vast ice sheets stretching from the Arctic all the way down to the Missouri River, through Siberia much of Europe and spreading out from all major mountain ranges. Okay sure right now we're in a brief interglacial phase A relatively summery stretch in which the glaciers have retreated but these inter-glacial periods are short lived The Quaternary Ice Age has lasted two and half million years so far

3:03:33 Its 10 to 15,000 year warm patches are separated by glacial periods that last several times as long. The current respite is called the Holocene era and it began around 11,000 years ago. Temperatures rose glaciers and woolly mammoths migrated north and humans thrived this new era of warmth and plenty saw the rise of agriculture writing cities and technology All of our recorded, even our remembered history is of the Holocene. You might forgive us for imagining that these relatively summery millennia are normal for this planet. That is not the case! The current interglacial is already long does this mean that the glaciers are overdue?

3:04:22 Is winter coming? To answer these questions, we need to understand what triggers the March of the Glaciers. Nah it goes on and on and on but it's uh yeah This doesn't fit into the narrative No! I'm telling you this is not going to- this podcast download it now I've always thought that the glacier is retreating. Oh my god, two years ago the glacier was here and now look at its back of five feet! Yeah...I've always thought that was a plus. You just gotta be- These damn glaciers those things are nasty Be afraid....be afraid Well i got one clip last clip Alright good Um...I have one I can put off This is did you know by the way this last Monday couple days ago? Three days ago That was Valentine's Day

They have trouble suppressing emotional responses like anger, impatience or annoyance. They do bizarre risky outrageous things without assessing repercussions. They're professional liars.
