00:00 Please cut and paste widely! Deconstructing net neutrality so you don't have to call Congress and broadcasting live from downtown Austin, Tejas, Capo de Drones, Star State, in the studio. In the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where our minds are in the gutter...I am John C. DeVorek It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! In The Morning! Yes not just ours but the entire media landscape and Democratic Party yes seems so

00:45 Yeah, good newsletter. Thank you yeah actually I think I pulled a clip of Maybe it didn't I thought I had a clip of Sarah Sanders saying get your mind out of the gutter Well actually I have oh You have a whole clip? I got a short clip I have the whole clip where the questions asked and she goes on It's actually better clip to hold clip okay which one is it this would be Sarah Sanders, it should say no. You'd expect it to start with an S Yeah you would wouldn't ya? How about Gillibrand before Trump tweet No that's good That's actually if you want to do the Gillibrand story I'm gonna might as well do some scratch Let me let me do the April Ryan question if we can't find it here It's on here! I don't think so Yes

01:44 Well, they're your clips. More Jones tidbits Trump no more slightly twisted analysis more support from Trump. No polar bear T versus G believable okay I'll play mine then is that okay yeah go ahead Apologies for the misunderstanding of the president's tweet this morning because many including senator thinks that it's about sexual innuendos. I think only if your mind is in the gutter would you have read it that way and so no Hunter? No, it's not what he said was open and it was not mined. He's obviously talking about

02:27 political partisan games that people often play and the broken system that he's talked about repeatedly. This isn't new, this isn't a new sentiment, this isn't new terminology. He has used it several times before as I said a few minutes ago, he has used it several times before referencing men of both parties in fact and so I think if you look back at the past comments he made it was very clear what his reference was. Hunter? Looking at this issue with the system, the president gave almost $8000 to Senator Gillibrand over the years. His daughter also gave her $2000. What specifically did they get? Blowjob

03:06 the reason that we have a broken system. That's the reason that often special interests control our government more than the people do, and that is one of the reasons this president ran to be president. It is one of the top reasons I think he won and why he is sitting in the Oval Office today and Hillary Clinton not because she couldn't be bought and everybody knew she could because they had seen it time and time again."

05:12 And that's how it works. But really, and then I was like what is this slut shaming all of a sudden? I see people saying he's slut shaming... Oh they've gone out of control in fact even play this clip. Play Gwen Stefani Oh, yeah. She's getting some heat, our Gwyneth. Well I think the point she is making is that this a very powerful moment in America's history and not only should women be heard but they should be believed and they should be investigated so when you have these allegations coming forward those allegations should be investigated just like any other allegation of fraud or... That was Kirsten Gillibrand

05:52 Yeah, but why does it say Gwen Stefani? I thought she sounds like her. No, Gwen Stefani's getting all kinds of heat because she's friends with Chelsea Handler and you know, Gwen...you can't be with the sexiest man alive who is a country guy, a white bumpkin And then be hanging out with Trump hater that doesn't work It just can't be this will not stand. Well, let's let's go I thought you'd be more impressed with the Gwen Stefani clip but no Here is Gillibrand before the Trump tweet and this is what got the whole thing started president should resign These allegations are credible they are numerous I've heard these women's testimony and

06:36 Many of them are heartbreaking and President Trump should resign his position. Whether he will ever hold himself accountable is something you really can't hold your breath for, so Congress should have hearings they should do their investigation appropriate investigations of his behavior and hold him accountable. I think though that there should be, as these women have called for a bipartisan investigation or are you calling for an immediate resignation? I think he should immediately resign and if he doesn't we should have the investigation. Let me back that up with a quick clip from these three women who are members...who were part of this Trump film 16 Women & Donald Trump so these are some old some new accusers

07:37 of the president, and first they went on Megyn Kelly's show. Three of them did and then they did a PR event for for the movie they're in run by Brave Films which is clearly a very partisan outfit I looked at their nine... They got like three million dollars in the bank Which I thought was a lot of money for just, you know little non-profit doing the film but okay. The allegations are pretty intense. I am hoping that this will come forward and produce enough pressure on Congress to address it more than just with their own members but to address in the president. We've investigated

08:25 other Congress members so I think it only stands fair that he be investigated as well. If they were willing to investigate Senator Franken, um...I think it's only fair that they do the same for Trump. I mean its pretty flimsy Does anybody- yeah no kidding does anybody know anything about separation of powers? Not these people you want to listen to this trailer Or I don't know if it's an excerpt or for it's a trailer of these women and I have a comment about one of them he groped me. He absolutely groped me, and he just Slipped his hand there touching my private part. He turned to me and embraced me and gave me a kiss on the lips And I remember being shocked because I would have just thought to shake somebody's hand but that was

09:17 His first response with it was a real shock when all of a sudden his hands were all over me, but it's what he started putting his hand up my skirt and That was it That was it. The person on my right, who unbeknownst to me at that time was Donald Trump put their hand up my skirt He did touch my vagina through my underwear As the women walked across the table Donald Trump would look up under their skirt and you know comment on whether they had underwear or didn't have underwear I didn't want to have to walk across the table I wanted to get out of there Then his hand touched the right inside.

10:02 of my breath. I felt intimidated and I felt powerless. Lionel was standing right next to him when he touched my butt When we entered the room, he grabbed each of us tightly in a hug and kissed each one of us without asking permission After that, I received another call from either Donald or a male calling on his behalf offering me $10,000 His actions are a huge testament to his character. That of uncontrollable misogyny, entitlement and being a sexual assault apologist." I'm sitting there in my robe and having you know my makeup and hair done and everything and he comes walking in and I was just like oh my goodness what is he doing back here? I saw him walk into the dressing room

10:54 He just came strolling right in there was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything Some girls were topless other girls were naked waltzing in When we're naked, or half-naked In a very physically vulnerable position Now touching butts and vulvas and stuff I can't comment on that sounds pretty egregious But the last voice you heard was one of the Miss USA contestants Trump owned the franchise And let me tell you, I've been around a lot of fashion shows and have participated in them. I've MC'd them and when you're backstage everyone's naked and no one gives a shit They do not care All the girls want is smoke some coffee and some coke That's all they want! And they don't care

11:42 I would agree with that and not that i've been back there but it's been documented all you have to do is watch some of these TV shows where they're doing a runway backstage runways stuff and there are guys all over the place wandering around. Yeah, yes yeah so that last thing is bullcrap. I also think...I don't know how much of the other stuff is bull crap but probably half of it But the problem I'm foreseeing is that have to assume that Roger Stone has put some phonies in there. He's planted a couple of those are gonna- Just, just- They're gonna come out and say I was paid to say this! And then it's going to get Trump off the hook and embarrass the Democrats but on this stupid tweet which is caused trouble listen to the Gillibrand tweet with Mika

12:42 And then, who's shaking like a leaf apparently because she read this tweet. It is the worst thing she has ever read and then Katie Kaye who is an anchor woman for the BBC America She says something that makes a flub that I want to comment on Yesterday because they were all on TV Yes Just be sure that the fact that three of us here are literally shaking in anger That tweet meant a lot. That tweet said so much about his character, that tweet said so much about how this White House is run

13:20 That tweet was one of the worst things I've seen so far in this presidency, actually. And here's why it is so undermining you can make it to the stage of senator You can do everything by the rules and be as good as the guys around you What was that one person clapping about? One person clapping! At the stage of Senator you can do everything by the rules and be as good as the guys around you You could be at the top of your class If you're woman you could get to the top Crap thrown at you. Well, no doubt no doubt here a flub Mm-hmm know I was too distracted by the clapping is it the last bit let me hear it again Yeah Why's that not working today because they're all and here's why so undermining You can make it to the stage of senator. You can do everything by the rules You can be as good as the guys against around you you Can be the top of your class? And if you're a woman you can get to the top and you can still have that kind of

14:16 Crap thrown at you. I mean the guys against you instead of and she this is the way she's this is Katie Kaye Yeah, this is the way she sees the workplace yeah, the guys are against her yeah The guys are against her hmm She said if she seeing it because she's against them And it's like a competitive thing and yet you have to do what you have to do oh But I find it was very interesting as she'd say that because that's what she was trying to say and then she changed it To around you so didn't sound so hard right because the men are all against me. Hmm. No, no I found this whole thing to be quite funny You mentioned? Well yeah in that clip. I like specifically where she says, you know, this is his mindset No That's your mindset that is exactly the opposite is your mindset you read that It's what's in your head

15:08 This was an interesting, I don't know if you heard about this but Bill O'Reilly called into Glenn Beck's show with some...with a an interesting allegation. I want to tell you one thing though. I don't know if I have mentioned this on your program but I predicted and we discussed last week that there's going to be tremendous assault on President Trump coming. Agree. Probably come in January Because he did get the tax reform passed and the Democrats now say well we got to destroy him because He may get reelected. There is a tape Beck an audio tape of A anti-trump person offering $200,000 to a woman to accuse Donald Trump of untoward behavior

15:55 So, you know you have talked to me about this. You've talked to me about this tape. You've talked to me about it privately as well with additional information Is this tape going to be released or? Well I may have to go to the US attorney myself. I don't want to do that and inject myself into the story but there are...I had my lawyer listen through the tape My attorney Right He's listened through it There are at least three crimes on the tape. So as a citizen, I may have to do this." Oh, he hates inserting himself into the story. Sure Bill... What a phony! I'm curious if there's something to it though that's kind of funny. No, there probably is something to it but his oh my God, I had to get involved bull crap is ridiculous but okay. Yeah, here's the...I'm sorry.

16:49 Here's the big rundown. I want to get it out of the way This is the rundown of the Trump versus Gillibrand story on CBS and i think it's pretty good And it kind of covers all this stuff we just covered But also, It gives a little more depth to the whole thing. I think its not bad report T versus G. Ah, makes nothing but sense. Bitter argument has broken out between the president and the junior senator from his home state It began when Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand called on Mr Trump to resign- And by the way is it Jill-a-brand? Is it Gil-a-brand? Do we really know what the official pronunciation is?

17:27 No, we don't. I like Gillibrand better. Yeah, I think it is Gillibrand. Senator from his home state It began when Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand called on Mr Trump to resign because of accusations of sexual misconduct against him The president fired back with his weapon of choice the tweets With the latest on this here's Nancy Cordes It was a sexist smear attempting to silence my voice. New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was attending a bipartisan Bible study this morning when the president sent his suggestive tweet calling her a lightweight and flunky who once begged him for campaign contributions and would do anything for them I think it was shameful Democrats called the president's words nasty and grotesque

18:16 Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren even accused him of trying to intimidate and slut shame Gillibrand. I think only if your mind is in the gutter would you have read it that way White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders insisted there was no innuendo He's obviously talking about political partisan games that people often play, and the broken system that he has talked about repeatedly But by this afternoon, more than 100 House Democrats had signed a letter requesting that the House Committee on Oversight investigate the reports of sexual misconduct raised against President Trump by more than a dozen women stretching back to the 1980s. Forced kissing unwanted touching and groping on an airplane in a corporate office in a pageant dressing room

19:06 Democrats forced out two of their own members last week over similar allegations. I'm sorry, Mr President you do not live under a different set of rules. But the party that controls Congress... What we're in charge off here is the Senate Does not want to touch the issue Should there be a formal investigation? I thought thats what the last election was Gillibrand says she won't stop trying Republican leaders have been reluctant to even acknowledge the allegations against President Trump. Why do you think they'd be willing to open an investigation? That is the right thing to do, and I am urging them to do that as should their constituents. Late this afternoon, the Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee officially declined to open an investigation but for an unexpected reason he said the allegations against President Trump if true

19:59 are crimes and therefore are better handled by the Justice Department than Congress. Yeah, but no one as far as I know has filed any suit or any official complaint even? No they haven't filed anything so this is... What bothers me about this is the Democrats are and it may be Scott Adams kind of implies this with his analysis of these tweets. The Democrats are spinning their wheels over this sexual breast-touching or butt grabbing or whatever he's done, as far as I can tell all he has done was talk a big game which is what was going on with that

20:39 Access Hollywood tape or whatever. I don't think that was and they're missing like we've just spent 700 billion dollars on a military budget from Which is money going to an out-of-control Defense Department? They're supposed to audit by the way one of our producers sent me a note And his company is doing the audit he says, I don't know if will get anywhere He says but we're doing it It is really happening Yeah, big luck with that. Just saying it's I just wanted to let everyone know is we got people in important places So we have so this is going on at this? I mean if they really did an audit and found where all the money was go wasted I Was gonna use the word going by meant wasted They could probably get by with a 500 billion dollar budget put 200 billion into their economy That do some people some good fix the potholes in highway 80 for example there it is

21:33 And I would say that this would be a more of an issue besides the guy grabbing somebody's butt 20 years ago, who cares? The Democrats are completely and by the way. And I do when I do have a lot of clips about this Roy Moore situation... We're not there yet we got some other stuff to do first. Yeah, I'm just gonna say that Everything they're doing is there's just sight tracking themselves I think they're gonna be a big flop in 2018 if they if they can't come up with something other than just slut-shaming Trump. I don't see anything else on the horizon It's all it's all I see they got really so I know I don't I don't think they have anything else But I do have a couple clips and a couple other

22:19 People who have been caught up in the web of hashtag me too. This is from CNBC Here's what's happening at this hour everyone New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand I should say calling on President Trump to resign This is three women spoke out against him accusing him of varying degrees of inappropriate behavior One was asked if she was considering a lawsuit, I mean What am I gonna sue them for being really creepy? That's not something that would stand up in court, but what I'm more concerned about is as a culture in our country. What is acceptable behavior and if the standard that our president is setting it's not high enough right now?

22:59 Say again that the standard of our Our community of our what does she what word did she use of our culture? But we are in United States of several nation behavior Turn on television go look at a magazine Go look at a movie and tell us to do one of the Democrats podcast. She's well, I And tell me that it isn't coming from, you know... It's everywhere. We are a highly hyper-sexualized society. Yeah thank you Hollywood! Certainly the United States is highly sexualized Now let me give you a couple other rundown of some names and what has been happening in case you haven't kept up Morgan Spurlock did something very interesting You know who that guy is? I've heard of him Yeah he's the documentarian

23:52 He did supersize me and some... Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, super size me guys. So he came out with this huge letter and he said, oh I'm part of the problem and here's what I've done. He said, I used to call my assistant hot pants in the office. And they also went into ... I think it was actually very interesting what he did. He was with a woman and they were drinking, and then they were naked. And then they were having sex she said I didn't want to have sex and then they stopped and Then she sued him for rape or Or said if you don't pay me ten grand i'm going to sue you for rape something like that So he's taken very interesting tact by coming out and saying oh i'm bad? And I think it you won't hear anything about him We'll see

24:40 Then the New York Times, Salma Hayek. Oh my God! If you haven't read that article about Harvey Weinstein this guy is an A-hole! Yeah he's the perfect example that we can now compare Trump to Here's the stuff that he was asking for... well actually she says I'll just read a little bit from the article. Little did I know it would become my turn to say no, No to opening the door to him at all hours of the night hotel after hotel location after location where he would show up unexpectedly including one location when i was going to do movie that wasn't even involved with. No to me taking a shower with him. No for letting him watch me take a shower

25:22 No to letting him give me a massage. No, to letting a naked friend of his give me a massage! No to letting me give him oral sex. NO to getting naked with another woman. And with every refusal came Harvey's Machiavellian rage and at one point he said I could kill you You know that don't you? This guy is an asshole I mean, he's... this is that's really really really. He's like an insurance salesman. Then one of the judges who struck down the immigration travel ban was busted in some sleazy sexual scandal CAA agent that's creative artists agency accused of offering sex in exchange for access to directors and a Hollywood star surprise surprise

A lot of people had a grudge Well before you go on then let's do something that I've because something that never gets discussed is why? Do some people get a pass and some people are really bad get it passed and i will include how come no one talks about It because he just got a new movie Johnny Depp who beats women No, that's okay. No problem right? You're right Let's listen to Alec Baldwin praise on ABC

36:35 Another great guy, Alec Baldwin returning to sitcom television in the best part right here at ABC. Pretty excited about this variety is reporting that ABC is developing a new comedy series co-created an executive produced by blackish creator Kenya Barris and Baldwin who was so excellent on 30 Rock on NBC this time around he'll play He'll play an opinionated, fading TV star who moves in with his progressive daughter and her girlfriend. The currently unnamed series is set to premiere right here next season on ABC. Baldwin, who's a known jerk is uh... Why does he get such a pass? And he gets a huge pass. Let's play to remind people this is Alec Baldwin talking to his 11 year old daughter and left the message on her phone. Hey I want to tell you something okay and I want to leave a message for you right now because again it's 1030 here in New York on Wednesday and once again

37:38 of myself trying to get you a phone to call you at a specific time. When the time comes for me to make that phone call, whatever I'm doing and I go when I make that phone call at 11 o'clock in the morning in New York and if you don't pick up the phone at 10 o'clock at night and you do not even have your phone turned on...I want you know something okay? I am leaving this message with you to tell you, you haven't shown up for the last time You have insulted me. You don't have the brain or the... as a human being, I don't

38:19 12 years old or 11 years old, whether you're a child or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned. It was sad though he's mad at his ex and he's yelling at the kid it's you know it's transference in an odd way yeah well then it would say it's actually more pathetic when he doesn't know her age but that sucks well I don't want to play the whole thing because there's horrible audio but I think people remember He calls her a pig, yeah. A dirty little pig and he goes on and on and on why does this guy? And I was put Johnny Depp in the same camp Why do they get a pass while these like you named a number of journalists who whose only sin was to have a lewd direct message or Or inappropriate direct message is not even something well physically

39:09 Interesting. Why do these guys get a pass? Interesting you bring that up from the face bag I won't play the jingle because it's not necessarily a voice I want to use right now Now this is a friend of mine who works at Saturday Night Live, I worked with this person her for many many years at MTV then she posted about Al Franken because of course She worked with Al Franken as well or maybe just a little bit because I think and I'm not sure when he left but The Al Franken situation is heartbreaking. I haven't written on this because Al is someone I've known personally since 1981 and truly admire and respect, I would even call him a friend though I was closer with his dearly missed ex-comedy partner Tom Davis As many have said the al that we saw at SNL was incredibly respectful of mostly everyone...I like that mostly

39:58 And in regards to his relationship with women, I will always remember the times that he insisted on women writers be present when auditions were held for films that parodied models or beach bunnies or whatever. To keep sexual tension out of the room and as with many grown men who have continued to find college frat boy humor funny Many in their 60s still love fart jokes others grow other gross sexual situations often acting like cavemen Al did have a bit of that in him uh-huh That's enough these days, I might want to add. Anyway, I do find this behavior that has led to the current situation really ugly and fucked up if indeed it is true! There would be no excuse in some sort of action to be taken again only if its accurate but here goes… If this had been happening during a different type of administration like our also dearly missed Barack Obama whose people had integrity good intentions views that showed they were real human beings and one that made us feel safe and we were led by people who had our well-being at heart

40:55 I might have thought that maybe Al should resign. Maybe, but in a time where someone as obviously unqualified like Betsy DeVos gets approved and what is happening with immigration taxes our national landscapes and parks an administration full of sexual predators and countless other things we need people like Al Franken to stay in the Senate he's fighting the good fight! And on our side you know which side that is sorry but there must be other ways to deal with this alleged awful personal behavior Treatment, which would not help Weinstein and Spacey whose acts are unspeakable in evil on a whole other level. That would actually help!

41:31 Have the victims who were affected by this confront him directly in meetings. Oh, let's have a meeting... Maybe there will be some healing there or the hell with it! Bring back flogging and lash the fucker The philosophy of let's take our licks and let a new breed come forth is naive horseshit If y'all think I'm wrong i'll take this down but as of this moment as Stan Laurel says that's my story I'm sticking to it It's just seeing one of the great people I've been lucky enough to know get unfairly taken down like this without even a hearing is shattering. Double standard much? Sounds like it to me, but here's the kicker Steve Pachanik The psychological warfare expert who has worked for many presidents and many agencies and military He posted one of his videos and by we have a an interview with him for our Christmas show which i did Which i think you'll like

42:29 He well listen to it, and then you can understand what he's saying but just some background Currently he's fighting What is it called? It's the water company mosaic mining I think in Florida Because they have all the water rights and there you know, they're diverting water away from certain parts of Florida And I he hates him. He hates him He hates me hates him and it's in this context that he makes an interesting admission Senator Al Franken from Minnesota had to resign The reason sexual harassment The real reason is simply that I had put a

43:13 psychological profile on him, knowing fully well that he had a history of sexual harassment. Now how do I know that? It's not relevant in my business of psychological profiling and psychological warfare. I know a lot about many individuals particularly those who are in the Senate who are in government and who are high up in the private industry The point of fact here was that I had requested Al Franken and his superior, Amy Klubacher, senator from Minnesota to really intervene on behalf of the honest citizens of Central Florida so that they would stop the horrendous terrorist activities of mosaic mines that came out of Plymouth, Minnesota.

43:59 Al Franken didn't respond to that request. I wrote blogs about it, I implored them and nothing was done in turn i decided that i would start a psychological warfare against al franken now that is not a direct hit it's what we call in the business of side pocket shots There was evidence to suggest that Al Franken had a history of sexual harassment, but it's not an accident that the two major evidences that came out came out from two different tours that he made in the USO during his tour in the Middle East. Remember, Pchenik is very tight with military intelligence One was in 2001 2003 and then 2006 so I leave that

44:43 Supposition and target of opportunity for you to think about and for Al Franken to think about that's interesting He's kind of claiming that he yeah, he's claiming the responsibility for getting rid of the guy. I like It doesn't sound like something somebody who actually has those abilities would actually bring He's very angry about this water thing but I understand why it might be frankenbutt Well, he saw Frank and I'm surprised they didn't go over it. If you've got to go after somebody, go after Amy Klobuchar. Right! You want to go after that exactly? But it's because he didn't get any response because the company is Plymouth Minnesota based company... Ah there ya' go. That was the reason. I didn't get it okay thats why anyway but its an interesting video as we see in show notes he goes on and on

45:35 Then this stunning allegation from Eddie Fisher's ex-wife. I don't think anyone but you and I remember Eddie Fisher? I remember Eddie Fisher, and he was married to a number of women which is... Which one are we talking about? He was also married to Debbie Reynolds Yeah, it's not Debbie Reynolds obviously um the hot one forget her name well listen to her story And it's dramatized hi. I'm Tavis. I was a shi- Damnit! I gave away my next clip Larry King is a groper He broke me twice. They were the moments 63-year old Terry Richards says she will never forget I was doing a story for the Tolucan Times It was the baseball RBI Hall of Fame dinner and Larry was there and Larry saw me And my photographer tried to bunch us together, and Larry had his hand on The middle of my back and as the photographer said look this way

46:35 He took his hand and he slid it all the way down into the crack of my ass. He just stuck it, I don't know how he got in there but he did I don't know how he got it in there, but somehow Larry King's a genius. He got it all the way... He takes a lot of experience. He got all the way to the crack of my ass! I froze and I yelled out My reaction was just slap him in his face But he was the guest speaker It was awful What really got me was I'm a wife, my child was at the event, I'm working And I was over 50 So there is no age limit

47:13 There's no age limit. That's right Larry King the groper slipping it in the ass crack nice king very nice Bad news though for Kentucky if they get some passes you get a pass Is he like Alec Baldwin? Of course, he gets a pass. He gets a pass! I'd like to know why these guys get a pass and other guys don't get it passed what is the line of demarcation we can't say it's because it's just Republicans because most people that are busted including Al Franken in this are Democrats In fact there wasn't until recently till the tide turned and we started have a balance of Republicans and Democrats so why do these guys get a pass? I'm not sure

47:57 This guy didn't give himself a pass sad story, but it's the brakes WDRB news alert Kentucky State Representative Dan Johnson has reportedly committed suicide this comes just one day after he denied accusations of child molestation We have crews across the area tonight as the story is still developing This bridge behind me is where investigators say Representative Dan Johnson appears to have committed suicide tonight. This comes just one day after Johnson denied allegations of sexual molestation, Bullet County Sheriff Donnie Tennell says Johnson shot himself on the bridge once under his chin

48:33 This happened in Mount Washington, in a rural area off of Grinnell Ford Road. Investigators say Johnson drove his SUV, a Ford Escape over the bridge pulled over stood in front of the SUV and shot himself one time. A deputy tells us someone saw Johnson's post on social media and called 911 law enforcement then pinged his phone which led them to this general area they discovered his body I thought that was interesting they pinged his phone is it that easy huh? to ping someone's phone and find their location. It's just a throwaway line in the report, but I think it is noticeable post on social media and called 911 law enforcement then pings his phone which led them to this general area they discovered his body near the bridge on the bank of the salt river

49:17 Adrian representative Dan Johnson denied the accusations yesterday right here at his church on Monday. The chairman of the Republican Party of Kentucky called on Representative Dan Johnson to resign it came after report emerged accusing him of sexually molesting a 17 year old girl in a church basement in 2012 just yesterday, Johnson responded to those claims at the heart of fire Church where he was a pastor this allegation concerning this This lady, this young girl absolutely has no merit. I'm not standing here today to step down or resign or do anything like that there's a lot of people that are willing to jump to judgment without any proof." Yeah and then he went and killed himself sad but you know it's like molested a girl in the basement of the church. Well that was kind of... The joke is uh the age of consent in Kentucky 16

50:17 Is it still 16? Let me look. Taking the age of consent for sexual intercourse depends on the victim's age and the general age of consent is 16, but maybe 18 years for other circumstances so that's possible that they do have some of these ages you can be have sex at 16 if you're having sex with a 17th. Sounds like it might not have been consensual but still It sounds like when I first started hearing the report, thought he was a pedophile and by that I don't mean the 17 year old. Oh yeah no, I understand this word is bandied about so easily. I've heard people say on television on the telescreen you know admitted pedophile you know about Roy Moore as an example it's not exactly how that goes

51:03 But the worst one of the Me Too movement, another blow for the public broadcasting system. The propaganda broadcasting system after Charlie Rose we take down a staple of public broadcasting Tavis Smiley What? Yeah I didn't hear this one Show suspended Fire fan of Tavis my took me let me give a little background on that Tabitha smile. I never liked him and ever liked his interviewing style II always found his voice to be peculiar Yeah, and then I but over the years I have watched this show He is a really outstanding interviewer in his show was great So I would watch his showed you have unusual people to interview it was very interesting use a good

51:47 It seemed like a really good guy. And he, I should mention this because we're talking about who gets what pass and who doesn't you have to remember that he was with Cornell West the black professor and they were on the rampage against Obama. Yeah so no pass for him but when you hear his side of the story it's even more crazy So the headline is, Tavis Smiley talk show host suspended after PBS investigation into sexual misconduct claims against the host. And he posted this on the face bag. Hi I'm Tavis. I was as shocked as you were to hear of PBS's sudden announcement regarding my television program Let me say at the outset that i have the utmost respect for all women and I certainly celebrate the courage of those women who've come forth of late To share their own truth But let me also assure you

52:39 that I have never groped, inappropriately exposed myself or coerced any colleague in the workplace ever in my 30-year career. PBS launched this so-called investigation of me without ever even telling me about it. I only learned to this investigation because former colleagues, former staffers started to call me to tell me they were getting a phone call from some PBS investigator asking number one did Tavish ever make you feel uncomfortable in the workplace and number two can you give us other persons to call? Only after threatening a lawsuit Did PBS investigators agree to sit down and talk to me for three hours? And even then, their minds must have been made up because almost immediately after that session ended this story broke in variety. PBS investigators refused to look at any of my documentation, refused to talk to any of my current staffers, refused give the names of any of my accusers and refuse to give me any semblance of due process."

53:40 It is clear that this has gone too far and I for one intend to fight back. PBS overreacted, and they launched a sloppy investigation it's time for real conversation in this country about where the lines are about how men and women can engage each other in the workplace And I look forward to actively participating In that conversation You know what? This all means big-time lawsuit This is a slander suit. This is slander plus unlawful termination that he is gonna make up fortune off of PBS and by the way for you out there donating to PBS, stop! Stop yeah well You know the whole idea of due process knowing who your accuser is all this anonymous stuff It just doesn't cut it for me

54:35 But I'm in. I can't go, I can't even go to Nashville by personally cannot go to Nashville anymore Okay certainly not Tennessee State University They have a new rule in their policy there school bonds close Whistling in a suggestive manner may qualify as sexual harassment and can get students expelled or employees fired Those caught making suggestive or insulting sounds or making suggestive or obscene gestures This is Tourette's man Also face similar consequences as well as students or staff who joke about sex on campus Joking about sex on campus can get you expelled joking about that rule could get you. You are already I'm already expelled

55:33 And someone wrote me... What school is this? What lame school is this? Tennessee State University. Yeah, that's a big... yeah well that uh I can see the spreading though! I can see that spreading. Tennessee state as far as I know known for incest. Hello Tennessee! Dvorak is john at dvorak dot org would be the email. I'm just calling the school out not the state and just someone And when he launched this at me, I thought it was interesting because I was watching the signing of the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act still combing through it. Then I hope to get the tax bill today or tomorrow whenever so I can actually tell you what I think is in it or what it says but when you see Pence behind Trump

56:16 He you know, you just gotta wonder what's going on in that guy's mind and his eyes You know is eyes are kind of like little slitty slits and he's kind of just looking off. So I was looking around so much What if Pence maybe? No the pence has quite a team, you know, he's all he's already registered to run for president I think hasn't it I don't know. Could be, it would make sense. And he specifically is very adamant about not being in a room with another woman without his wife present. Oh yeah, he's really adamant about that. Maybe this is his long game?

56:53 It'd be a great long game. I mean, it's also possible we don't know any of this but it's also possible... We just look at possibilities that Trump had told Pence he was only going to be in for one term because he is gonna be too old to keep going on this stupid job and I think that's what he thinks of it and Pence should groom himself to run against Gillibrand will be one of the competitors. I have some information about that she's being Promoted as a presidential candidate in a number of different. Oh, she has well I have to do is read the latest article on her and Vogue magazine Which I was reading apart of before the show yeah from your personal copy when it printed it out and Vogue magazine you know it has its design it has

57:43 It has a target audience, let's put it that way. That is very susceptible to this sort of thing. Let me read from the article... Especially when Vogue had an entire pictorial of teenage girls, 13-year old girls dressed up as sluts Do you remember that? I haven't forgotten that! Bing it ladies and gentlemen, bing it! Bingit.io, bing it And uh.. You can see this was really disturbing But yeah okay so Vogue Magazine Yeah they are on top of the morality tree Yeah, and what's her name? The president of Planned Parenthood. What's her name? The good-looking woman who is mean...

58:21 President Planned Parenthood, she says she came and spoke to our national convention. Richardson? Yeah Camille or whatever her name is. Camille yeah Camille. She came and spoke to our national convention this year and she just got people on their feet! She has a personality in the drive that people relate to-people outside New York. And to me that's exciting can she imagine Gillibrand running for president quote I can imagine Kirsten doing anything she puts her mind to. And there's, throughout this article there's different... The writer is asking people whether she'd be a good president or should she run in 2020. And I think that she's one of the women that are gonna run in 2020 and I also see and if you read Gillibrands bio in the Wikipedia, she also played dirty when she ran for Congress to the point where the wife of the guy she beat in a Republican district

59:18 said it was the filthiest thing she's ever seen. She was completely discouraged by what a nasty woman this Gillibrand is, even though she seems so sweet and she's a Hillary protege in fact The Vogue magazine article written about her again seven years earlier by the same writer I think the title of that it called Hillary's Protege something like that So yeah, she's in the pocket And I think that there is a, I think there's in the Democratic Party. I think there is a split between the Clinton faction and the Obama faction which represents the Kennedy faction. Yes. I think the Kennedy faction and the Obama faction are on one side of the aisle and I think the Clinton factions on the other within the party. And I think that Kamala Harris or Kamala or whatever you want to call her...

1:00:09 Harris is, you'd be fired for that. Kamala Harris is going to be representing the other side of this argument and she's gonna run for president and she's the black woman. And Kirsten and whoever else thinks they're gonna run I think Cory Booker who I believe even though he's black is probably on the Clinton side of the equation it's gonna be more interesting this next in 2020 But whether Trump runs in 2020, and I think he might if people like Kirsten run because i think he just likes to ridicule people like that. It's just interesting it's going to be a very interesting lead-in And this concludes your sexual harassment update. And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C

1:01:00 Where the C stands for crack of her ass, Dvorak! And in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry and in the morning to all ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water all the dames and knights out there.

And In the Morning to Mike Riley brought us the artwork for episode 9 or 8-9 titled That Stick Control stick controls. He gave us the artwork, Friend of Pecker it was the National Enquirer mock-up with Trump and Weinstein and we used it even though we really typically discourage the use of an episode number because they had the episode number in the artwork. Yes, we don't like that because sometimes the artwork can be used... I mean we have a lot of artwork that's backed up

1:01:58 And sometimes it might be useful in another future show or in a newsletter, excuse me. Or in a lot of different venues but you limited to one shot right? Don't like it but we do have few people to thank who we do like James Lawler's top of the list, and we have a...this is very strange list because we have James Lawler at 333.33 and then Michael Zimmerman at 333 then 333 and then 333.00 and then 300 and two...it's just very unusual as no variety here of donation numbers. Yeah was there a call out for 333 for some reason? None whatsoever. Interesting. Zip.

There is not like any bogus patreon shit although they have now rescinded there They said oh, we messed up did you read this? Oh yeah Yeah, like well. We're not gonna do it. We're gonna look at something else yeah Just the news alone was enough to ruin everything. They are going to find some other way to jack-up their prices what they said Again, another show Sunday and please remember us for that show at devorak.org slash N A We got the weekend coming up so make sure that you are out there propagating our formula! Our formula is this we go out we hit people in the mouth Shut Up slave just shut up Oh Wait wait important news before you get to I know what you're gonna do kebab is safe

1:11:48 It was hard to miss because everybody was... Giddy. Well, not just giddy but all the three cable news networks were breaking in and coming back and we got an update it was going very fast you know the information is coming in just lightning speed very interesting there are other things going on in the world I mean jeez people that's like that was not the most important thing ever Couple of the Democrats couple of points first of all CNN's magic wall that John King operates Yeah, they got to update that it says powered by Microsoft Hello 1986 Could you please once just put your logo on it your square colored logo? That would be smart No no They don't do that and then I was and I remember that wasn't John King married to one of the other reporters sexual harassment well

1:12:44 He was married to Dana Bash, or was married to Dana Bash. And I just wanted... because I know that we talked about it and I just wanted to remember exactly what her history was Now you know who Dana Bash is? Yeah she's the one who looks like she's an alien just dropped in from a space satellite there as playing saucer So let me give you her career path and you tell me Here we go Without even mentioning a word, I know where you're headed. Okay... She went to George Washington University That's the start. Check! After college right away she joined CNN as a producer of their weekend programs such as Late Edition Evans and Novak and Inside Politics Later she began producing programming specializing in coverage of the US Senate What do you think?

1:13:45 What do you think? Well, if you're gonna play Spot the Spook I'm not completely convinced. Wait for it... And then she married Jeremy Bash where she got her last name was married to him from 1998-2007 Who was Jeremy Bash again? Uh oh Oh yes Former CIA Chief of Staff Nah! But then she married fellow CNN correspondent John King in 2008, gave birth to a son in June 2011 and then they separated In 2012. And they're now working together although I've noticed there's no tossing back and forth you know like hey Dana What do you think? She goes thanks John dick None of that. Maybe the kid was gray. Just needed to remind everybody how Operation Mockingbird

1:14:45 Is still alive and well, she's a spook came right behind She's a spook got married to this we met the spook in the spook spook John King always looked like a spook He may be maybe a spook although he has a very serious journalistic background Started it. I actually I pulled his his thing into I told him yeah No, do we think was completely incompatible those two? Maybe he found out like what your spook? Could be here some guys don't like career as a sport In 85, he joined Associated Press. He started as a writer in 91 he was named chief political correspondent headed the AP's political coverage then he won the 91 top reporting prize from AP's managing editors association for his coverage of the Gulf War Here's what happened? He was like you know he couldn't live with her You walked in as a spook and I had to start as a writer at Associated Press Yeah she gets right to the top yeah

1:15:44 It's very hard to go from Associated Press into one of the broadcast organizations. Anything, anything! Any job after that is tough. Anyway I just thought i'd mention that because it just popped in my head and just want to make sure everybody remembers where the spooks are. Yeah these places are crawling with these guys and they're very biased and they're giving their marching orders and they do what they're told yeah And they can't talk about it because they've signed these agreements and their lifetime So they can't mention anything. So it's crazy and why we put up with it is beyond me I think non-disclosure agreements should be outlawed Yeah, yeah all nondisclosures all including government one should all be outlawed silicon valley is filled with Non-disclosure We know that most of them are already the courts have already Voided and just to call just a call back All of them just to call when are the women of tech going to out some of these a whole tech reporters? Okay, i'm just saying They out at biddle

1:16:42 That's one. That's one Yeah, there are some people that I know for a fact that have gone from job to job because they've been fired for sexual harassment And they weren't and why are the women of technology tech? Tech why are they so why what are they afraid of is it such a great place someone has such power over the technology or I don't know but there's a lot of A lot of technology publications. You and I know a lot of people there, certainly dudes who are douche-dudes disappointed Yeah, well they got a pass for some reason. Same as Alec Baldwin and Johnny Depp I mean Alec Baldwin that is really interesting For the guy who he called a gay guy A fag on the street He's done all kinds of stuff. He did some race stuff I think You know used the n-word maybe? I'm not sure what the racial thing was but he did a slur

1:17:39 And and that crazy recording and his way he treated Kim basinger you know his wife which just treating Kim Basinger Poorly is egregious in my book any day. We well, you don't know she's not nuts But well no you always warned me Don't marry an actress yeah So that says you don't know but she's you'd think that you'd be you know She has no signs of that. She doesn't ever flipped out in public or anything I She's agoraphobic, which is kind of nutty. How do you know this? It was a big deal they were talking about it during this era when Alec was having trouble with his 11 year old They talked about Kim being agoraphobic it could have been a smear What does agoraphobic again that means you can't leave the house

1:18:32 You know, people then there's been movies about it. It's always hard to understand but it's the guys who stay here in the house they can't get out they start trying to go outside and maybe then get the mail and they got a rush back into house because they don't feel safe in public And that's a real problem Alright so we have this election This special election which interestingly Europe is all over I was reading the morning publications in Gitmo Nation Europe EUs And everyone's like, oh! It's the start of a new world. They're like ah finally things are turning around in America. Well there was a couple of anomalies in this thing that I had to look into to find out what really happened none of the networks and I mean none of them and even the people who actually gave me the information they needed to figure out what was going on here

1:19:25 The whole thing again, this is again the Democrats spinning their wheels was about Trump. This guy was a bad guy and if you listen to Amy Goodman I think I have one of her clips but I gotta get the right one because they don't want to mix these up Slightly twisted analysis, maybe? Yes. I just want you to hear this Tuesday's vote was highly divided by race and gender with African-American voters particularly women largely responsible for defeating Roy Moore overall 96% of

1:20:02 African-American voters voted for Doug Jones, with a staggering 98 percent of all black women voting for Jones. In contrast, nearly 70 percent of white voters voted for Roy Moore—a full 63 percent of white women voted for Moore despite more being accused by multiple women of sexually harassing or assaulting them when they were teenagers, one as young as 14. Democratic strategist Symone Sanders—who served as Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders' press secretary during his presidential campaign—said, quote, "'Doug Jones would not have won today without the turnout we saw from African-American voters.' Black women have been absolutely clear in their support for democratic policies and democratic

1:20:44 candidates. It's high time for Democrats to invest in that effort." Okay, so that was like a you know... That was kind of her breakdown and what was going on it was very I thought it was loosely explained there was no real reason for a lot of these phenomenons to be taking place and here's the clip I wanted you to play and I didn't find it sorry more support from Trump but President Donald Trump who'd repeatedly endorsed Roy Moore did acknowledge Moore's defeat tweeting Okay, this is bullcrap. Then Amy Goodman should be ashamed of herself Donald Trump Promoted this guy Luther strange

1:21:25 to beat more. Now I want you to listen at any of the newscasts, nobody mentions this all they do is mention the very end where Trump had without it he had no choice these guys are Republican what's he supposed to do? I mean other people didn't vote for him and they said there were Republicans but... No! It was so poorly explained Tina and iIhad to look up the whole history of this special election even get to Luther Strange's name Yeah, you're right. Because no one cares about delivering any information! No so screw Luther Strange here's the best... We just want to hate Trump hate the president 2018 2020 Here is the uh make it time yeah I'm writing it down

1:22:09 Yeah, you and that voice. That's what it sounds like to me! Now I got some tidbits of the election from PBS and i want you to play this one this is the more Jones PBS Tidbit Trump Oh hold on had the wrong one queued up Trump. Yep, we want jobs jobs jobs So get out and vote for Roy Moore It wouldn't stop

1:22:51 This was a video clip of Trump supporting Moore. He had the most bored look on his face, he said support Roy Moore in a down tone and he threw his arms out as though what am I supposed to do? I didn't want this guy, I wasn't for this guy, I was for Luther Strange anybody but this guy in fact there were people that wouldn't vote for this guy and So but meanwhile the media plays it. Yeah, oh he was a huge fan of this guy more Nobody like Rory Moore was a douchebag yeah He was a Bible thumping Douche bag period and he's always dumping the Bible he wanted at no separation of church and state He said all these things he was just any would like a chase teenagers when he was in his 30s

1:23:41 Which may or may not have been okay. The point is that he was, for a guy such as religious zealot you think he'd have a little bit more integrity. Yeah and some... And he also looked like a creep! He had that look, that southern look of somebody who just won't like. But let's play these tidbits this on PBS there's more Jones Tidbits one. Today, Jones said President Trump reached out to him with a gracious phone call and we talked about finding that common ground to work together and he invited me over to the White House to visit as soon as I get up there with a surprisingly strong turnout for a special election voters in one of the most Republican states repudiated the party's nominee Roy Moore

1:24:25 In the closing days, he was dogged by decades-old accusations of sexual misconduct with teenagers. Thank you. You know... Last night Moore refused to concede. And realize when the vote is this close that it's not over And we still got to go by the rules about this recount provision. But the Alabama Republican Party declared that the race was over This morning former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee agreed tweeting God wasn't registered to vote in Alabama, but the people who voted did speak and it wasn't close enough for a recount

1:25:03 So this guy's also a poor loser. He is really a bad guy in terms of like somebody should be the... Let's play Tidbit 2 which is spelled TWP. He had a cute horse though He had a great looking horse. Another crucial factor, write-in votes after Alabama Republican Senator Richard Shelby said he didn't vote for Moore Well I'd rather see the Republican win but I hope that Republican would be a write in. I couldn't vote for Roy Moore There were about 23 thousand right in ballots roughly the same as Jones's margin of victory

1:25:41 Yeah, it was interesting that the write-in vote which was a protest vote by the Republicans who won't vote for a Democrat. You're talking here's what happened politically there were Republicans that won't vote for Democrats but they don't mind if the Democrat gets in but they are not going to vote for him and so the guy got enlarged because of this write-in campaign But let us listen to tidbits three and then I will explain exactly why Doug Jones won in the first place The African American community thank you! Jones's improbable victory was fueled by a diverse coalition including strong support from African-American voters

1:26:21 I feel like for so long, the last past 13 months, right since it seemed like he was losing, he won today. Exit polls show that 96 percent of African-American voters supported Jones. They made up 29 percent of the electorate about the same as turned out for President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection Basketball legend Charles Barkley, an Alabama native said it was a wake-up call for Democrats. It's time for them to get off their ass and start making life better for black folks and people who are poor All right, now the thing that got me is it's almost you know they way they present this and I think it's a racist way of doing it. They present as 96 98 percent of women in particular of the black community came out but they all everybody voted they all came out and voted higher than any normal special election And then you and the ways presented as well because blacks are just a bunch of dumb fuck Democrats who always vote for the Democrat

1:27:23 That's the way it's being presented, the way I see it. And they keep harping on this black... all the blacks have voted for the guy and just as discouraging because well, I guess blacks can't think for themselves What they don't realize is that there's a history here with Doug Jones and its major, major, major for the black community How major is it? It's major And the thing is, is that nobody brings this up. I never heard this until Amy Goodman who didn't even realize what she was talking about and dealing with here did a little interview with a reporter from Mother Jones, a woman who explains and when you hear the story you're going to hear... The black community in this deep south have a long memory and they end it- and I think the white progressives are way slippery

1:28:16 They have a long memory when it comes to something like you're gonna hear, because they've been putting up with a lot of crap for a long time. And yeah I guess it's racist but listen to this and you're going to understand why this Doug Jones guy is not only a superhero But he could be a presidential candidate, and that's why Trump maybe wants to warm up to the guy. Because this guy what he did is beyond compare. That's Doug Jones significantly quoting Dr. Martin Luther King explained Doug Jones history as a prosecutor prosecute

1:28:53 prosecuting Ku Klux Klan members who were involved with the bombing of the 16th Street Church in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. Of course, the prosecution happened much later than that. Yes, it did. You know when that bomb went off in 1963 the situation in Birmingham was that the police were essentially in cahoots with the KKK and you know it was impossible to put on a trial and bring the bombers to justice so they were not tried for a long time one of them was put away in the 70's when Alabama elected a progressive attorney general but

1:29:32 person could not get the support of the FBI to go further. And so it was not until the late 90s, when Doug Jones was a federal prosecutor in Birmingham that they were able to put this together and Jones you know I've talked people who worked with him on this case who are in his office and they said you know this is a meticulous dogged three-year process Jones did an incredible amount of work. It was not guaranteed—you know, you have a cold case that's 40 years old. That is a remarkable thing to be able to pull off. And Jones by all accounts was incredibly dedicated to bringing these people to justice and for turning a page in Alabama history. So I think see that again last night in his speech the idea that the Alabama he knows and loves is not one we think about when we read about the 1960s or hear about the bombings. He wants to sort of turn that page

1:30:21 Wow. No, no, no not ding a ding is not sufficient. Jeez you know all I heard from anybody if it was about Doug Jones well to use this racist poster this racist ad that's all i heard yeah well you didn't hear this? No! So he opened up these cases how 40 years later? Yeah jeez and found the guys guilty. No thanks to the FBI and the corrupt police! Huh, yeah so now I see what you're saying he's a massive candidate but he's not female or black that's a problem Well... He might as well be black. He's got the black community behind him big time and that's the reason it's not because they just vote Democrat

1:31:22 That's baffling. No, actually why am I surprised? Yes it is our show! Why are you surprised?! Yeah what am i thinking? How!? Okay that's a piece of news I didn't know well yeah that's the guy to vote for yeah no doubt about it particularly in the south particularly if you're black and have all that history there jeez nice very nice Good, right even Amy even Amy had to keep it on oats. You know sexual Trump you know they No nothing to do with it this makes total sense yeah, it makes nothing but sense I'd vote for the guy Yeah And and you're as Republican as they come I'm not Republican independent I got my card carry I get an independent card I can show me your card show me how's vice where your papers oh?

1:32:15 Show me your papers, man. Anyway so that concludes that whole thing and when I heard that by the way i was really irked and I was irked at the media! The media has given us none of this background they all they did was they're looking for more ways to slam Trump and the Republicans it's pathetic and then they're extrapolating oh this is a big turning point for the party the Democrats have got them on the run So they're in for a big shock when, you know, a lot of people. In fact Schumer came out with some commentary that was like oh yeah let me see if I can find this is like...I think there's a Schumer clip in here Polar Bear Facebook warning where are you Schumer? Polar bear T there it is! This is the next issue that I want to talk a little bit about which is the tax bill but

1:33:06 You listen to Schumer, and Schumer was just about the tax bills not about this election. But these Democrats they're I think they're frightened to death because they don't know what's going on. They don't know what to do about it there. They have no topic of conversation. They have nothing they are promoting that is positive. It is all anti-Trump and also the anti-tax bill. Let's play Schumer and I want you to give me, I'm gonna ask you a question about logic. For Christmas and when i say giant I mean giant

1:33:43 Meanwhile, Democrats argue the bill would hurt middle-class families while giving permanent tax breaks to the wealthy. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer referencing last night's Senate election in Alabama warned Republicans that passing the current tax bill would unleash political backlash in midterm elections. Our hope is that Mitch McConnell will hear what voters in the suburbs of Alabama said. Help us! It's our hope that Mitch McConnell will realize proceeding with this tax bill Will be a dramatic Dramatic death knell for the Republican Party in 2018 All right. Now is he a see a consultant for the Republicans? He should be what does he care about

1:34:36 That the Republicans, wouldn't he want that? Wouldn't he want the Republicans to fall apart in 2018 and lose all their seats. Isn't that something logically that he'd desire? Hmm yeah Well then why would he say any of this I don't know Because he's full of crap that's why Well here is Nancy Pelosi with her response to the tax bill at this news conference and on the floor, you Democrats talk about this bill often in very apocalyptic terms but isn't really what's going on is that many people are getting a very modest tax cut and some people are getting a tax increase while a lot of us is also going to business but it's not the end of the world? No. It IS the end of the world. This health care...the debate around healthcare is life-death

1:35:23 Armageddon. This is a very big deal because you know why? There's really a very hard way to come back from this they take us further more deeply into debt What can you do but raise taxes? They contend that their gift To corporate America of a trillion and a half dollars could be up to a trillion dollars will be paid for by the growth it creates and even their own people say nonsense, not true. Not true! So let's be truthful with the American people about that they throw a few crumbs to the middle class or they give with one hand

1:36:05 away in bounty with the other and why? Because it is in their DNA to give tax cuts to the rich. That's their purpose in coming to Congress." It's in their DNA, they're born... It's the only reason they come to Congress Born to cut taxes! That's why they're so thrilled when Donald Trump as president because he's a trickle-down guy And this has... That's a sexual thing. It's a sexual, that's a sexual innuendo. Sexual innuendo yeah trickle down I know dossier peeing on beds Trump is president because he's a trickle-down guy and this has never paid for itself it's never created... I think 23andMe actually has a category when you do your DNA test Oh! Trickledown jobs and it always increased the debt Okay thanks Nancy

1:36:57 If you don't mind, I'd just like to stay with a little bit of Trump hate because it had some funny ones. Well before you do that, I want to play this tax bill misunderstanding clip since we're on tax bill. Okay good because i can't wait to read this thing! I'm very curious... At the White House today Republicans proclaimed they're on the verge of a big win on tax reform The president with a Christmas promise We want to give you the American people A giant tax cut for Christmas And when I say giant, I mean giant But back on the hill, protests. Kill this bill! Not us! Protesters say it will hurt the working and middle class as lawmakers huddled in the basement of the Capitol to finalize the bill even top Republican negotiators admit it's not a totally done deal so do you have a deal

1:37:46 It's going forward, very positive. It feels very close to an agreement. Even the president is cautious I mean we are so close right now So close In fact almost...I don't want to talk about it Maybe we shouldn't talk about it Tonight they have agreed to this Helping corporations that drops the corporate tax rate from 35%-21%. caps the mortgage interest deduction at $750,000 a middle ground between the Senate and House versions. Repeals the Obamacare individual mandate that all Americans have insurance which could leave 13 million more Americans without insurance in the next decade and to help the wealthy it lowers the top individual tax rate from 39 down to 37 percent how does that help middle-class American? This bill is going to lower the tax burden on working families

1:38:39 on middle-income families and it's going to generate tremendous economic growth. But what about the deficit? It is still unclear how much this will ultimately cost A new analysis predicts it could add more than 1.5 trillion dollars to the nation's debt And a previous analysis of the Senate version said Americans making $75,000 or less will pay more over the next 10 years Democrats insist that long term benefits will go to the wealthy Most of what's there for the middle class is written in disappearing ink. The Republican tax bill is one that Ebenezer Scrooge would love. Too bad you fumbled that one, lady. Damn it! I missed the punchline!

1:39:22 Let me say this about that. There's a couple of things, there is a lot of could do this could add yes there is a lot of that and the other thing is they keep Democrats keep emphasizing it will increase your taxes if you make under $75000 over 10 years meaning the thing is the disappearing ink reference in 2025 when that provision sunsets Yeah, or 2027 one of the two. So it's not going to happen for 10 years at least is the point? And then as you know depending on what the political climate is at that time It could be continued. Yes. It could be lowered even more. There are a million things that can happen These are these are two parties that are both both of them lying to the public Democrats lying more I think more and worse. They're just disingenuous listening to these people What have they got against this thing

1:40:15 Oh, it's gonna make the deficit go up more? It's already outrageous. Let me say this about that... So they mention healthcare and the- Well that's another disingenuous remark because it's not going to pull the rug out from anybody but it is just going to mean they don't have to join a system I had little experience with the system yesterday for number of reasons I had to get health care through the exchange before they close or the open enrollment period And I'm not sick, so that's not one of the reasons. But I had no health insurance in fact That was kind of a little bit against the whole idea and I paid the fine last year like you know because it was looking at $1500 a month Because I'm over 55. I mean over 50. I'm not 53. I feel over 55 today

1:41:06 So I had to go through the system and get some coverage. And I was just looking for anything that, I'll pay my deductibles... If i'm half dead, I don't want Tina or my daughter have to worry about it That's pretty much all I was looking for because I'm going to get the concierge thing here in Austin where you pay 150 bucks a month You can see your doctor whenever you want It's a great system kind of co-op we've talked about before So I go to healthcare.gov and you've got to fill in a lot of information, and before I even get to the plans, I filled in my phone number and email address and zip code, click submit...and haven't even gotten to the different plans yet, but my phone starts ringing. I have received over 60 calls since yesterday!

1:42:04 And they all like call from the same area code as my cell phone and they switch it up and they'll move to 512 for Texas. It's all these brokers! Before I even got into the system, My information was given to broker- in fact, I leave my phone on just I'm gonna switch it on because one of them will call. He's like hey, it's Ann y'all know you're looking for health care? I can find something for you in any state just and they're texting me...it's really invasive And I think it's... wasn't the whole idea that this website, which is having problems again apparently. This is ridiculous if the government websites giving your phone number away. Immediately! Immediately!! Yeah before you're even done with the process. Ah! Idea! Okay

1:42:50 You have anybody you want to harass? Yeah, it's one of those. Let me see if I can find one here. So my cell phone...I can tell everybody it starts with 650 because I got my phone when I was in San Francisco and that's the Palo Alto area. That's northern...it's a Eurora neck-of-the-woods kind of. Here is Pescadero California. Let me just play this one for you let me see how does this Here we go. I'll hold it up to the phone. Hi, this is Angie! I'm calling because it's open enrollment and that means It's time to get a great health insurance plan at the price you can afford now That's a robot let me see there were a couple of people who called as well But it's yeah, but if the system just switches they just try different area code Let me see here's here's one from Pennsylvania. Let's see

1:43:52 No, that's not the right one. Anyway you get the idea if one calls now or during the show I'll answer it And I'll tell them if they don't stop calling they're gonna need some health care up here we go Cleveland Ohio Cleveland Ohio hello Yeah, yeah, I guess so I feel really ill I'm enjoying the show today, talk to you later. Who the fuck was that? I got trolled! One of my jokers... I got trolled! I got trolled! That has your number. Whoa, you got butt-slammed!

1:44:37 A good one. You're dead, man. Good one! This is of course a show day and it wouldn't be show day if there wasn't something big going on the FCC just voted to overturn the net neutrality rules and I wanted to play a little game because in a last... yes? Hold on Aren't those rules the rules that have never actually been put in place? Correct. The proposed yes, so what's changed nothing We have people I had somebody writing me all things have changed since these new rules Nothing has been changing nothing's changing at all the rules are never implemented Never-implored implemented these were just bogus rules that weren't ever implement. They're just sitting in limbo Okay So you know in a last ditch effort

1:45:26 There was an open letter a 43 no wasn't 43 page in open letter sent yeah, it was 43 pages behind the open letter to Roger wicker Brian shah Shatz Marcia Blackburn Michael F. Doyle these are all ranking members and Title is internet pioneers and leaders tell the FCC you don't understand how the Internet works Now, I thought it would be interesting because here's what grabbed me. You can look in any press publication. Internet pioneers! Oh okay so what exactly is an internet pioneer? Are you a pioneer or a poser is the game that I'd like to play?

1:46:22 I can do that. Pioneer or poser, here we go! Yeah okay these are people who call themselves internet pioneers all right and here we go and actually says in this document Stephen M Belevin Mmm, don't know him. FTC chief technologist he calls himself an internet pioneer Tim Berners-Lee I'll give him a pioneer. He's a pioneer. Well you know even then it would be questionable because he's not an Internet Pioneer here is a world wide web pioneer. Well but yeah... No I'd give him a pass. I'll give it to him, he's a good guy John Borthwick CEO of Betaworks Internet Pioneer? I don't know never met him Scott Bradner

1:47:05 Never even heard of the guy no internet pioneer Vinton G surf yeah, well you have to give him some yeah What did he what? Yeah IP I died P. Guy Steve Steven and Stephen Crocker sounds familiar could be David Farber I think so FCC chief technologist maybe mmm Martin Hellman Calls himself. I've heard him, I think maybe he might be he says Internet security pioneer could be Brewster Kahle No brewster over here. I mean his internet archive But he's not a pioneer of the internet is he didn't do any of the protocols or anything that? I did I know of I like Brewster yeah, I like him too How about Theodore Holme Nelson oh

1:48:00 Ted Nelson that is hypertext pioneer he did invented a hyper text you got that and he's uh Always wrote it wrote a lot, and I don't know that its he was Involved with this kind of stuff before the internet made it now. I don't think so not really Not a pioneer David P Reed I don't know. Never heard of him, internet pioneer? We should know him! How can we not know him?! A lot of these guys are professors here and there... Paul Vixie? And they may have worked for the military. Paul Vixie? Don't know him. Internet pioneer. Stephen Wolf? Sounds familiar. Internet pioneer. Steve Wozniak? No he's not a pioneer of the internet!!

1:48:44 I don't see him being a pioneer of the internet unless you call, you know, embedding floppy disk controller in a color computer having anything to do with it. So clearly... No, Woz is not... This is not right. Clearly missing from the list is John C. Dvorak and Adam Clark Curry? Well, I wouldn't call either one of us internet pioneers for sure. We're podcast pioneers? Yes! Listen to this though. Listen to their note. WE! How can you start a letter like that?! We are the pioneers and technologists who created and now operate the internet. Well, fuck y'all! End of letter. It sounds like a declaration more than it sounds like a letter. Horrible. Some of the innovators and business people who, like many others depend on it for our livelihood we are writing to respectfully urge you to call on FCC chairman Ajit Pai to cancel the December 14th vote

1:49:37 This proposed order would repeal key network neutrality protections that prevent Internet access providers from blocking content, websites applications slowing or speeding up services or class of servers and charging online services for access to fast lanes to Internet access providers customers. The proposed order would also repeal oversight over other unreasonable discrimination on reasonable practices and over interconnection with last-mile Internet access providers The proposed order removes long-standing FCC oversight over Internet access providers without an inadequate replacement to protect consumers, free markets and online innovation. In other words your racket... Hold on! Can you back off two sentences and read those again? Yes it is important to understand that the FCC's proposed... sorry wrong one.. the proposed order

1:50:23 removes long-standing FCC oversight over Internet access providers without an adequate replacement to protect consumers, free markets and online innovation. For whatever reason. You have to remember Vince... He's at Google, I know the reason! He's a Google. They want to be the boss. He used to be an MCI but the other guys who have similar conflicts of interest and that's what it is it's a conflict of interest and I just said Wozniak he doesn't care but it says clearly if you read that sentence again that they want they are demanding that the FCC take over the internet yeah

1:51:08 This is what, this is the comp... People are just... Let me read a little more because I think it gets a little nuttier. They're demanding that the FCC take over the internet. That's what that said to me. Yes so they can really quash competition namely their competition. It is important understand that FCC's proposed order is based on a flawed and factually inaccurate understanding of Internet technology That's pretty brazen to say that. These flaws and inaccuracies were documented in detail in a 43-page long joint comment signed by over 200 of the most prominent internet pioneers and engineers, and submitted to FCC on July 17th. Despite this comment, the FCC did not correct its misunderstandings but instead premised the proposed order on the very technical flaws the comment explained

1:52:01 The technically incorrect proposed order dismantles 15 years of targeted oversight from both Republican and Democratic FCC chairs who understood the threats that Internet access providers could pose to open markets on the internet. The expert's comment was not the... Hold on! Is there any discussion in this thing? Because you're not going to read the whole thing. No, I just said that we're just two more people. But I'm gonna ask you if there's any discussion of the fact that the government...the same government these guys are like hoping they take over the place that the government has allowed merger and acquisition one after another of every small fry out there who used to be in ISP and now are owned by, or fact it happened to you right there in your own backyard when Time Warner got kicked out because they got bought out by somebody else. It became Spectrum. So I'm sure there's a bunch of complaining about this sort of lack of any sort of control, lack of oversight, lack of concern

1:53:01 Is that in there? Please. But here's what's interesting, because this guy is jizzing all over himself! The experts comment was not the only one the FCC ignored over 23 million comments have been submitted by public that is clearly passionate about protecting the Internet. Yeah thanks to your AstroTurf campaigns. Well they also turned it out at bots. Bots? Well, the FCC could- They've been busted for bots. The FCC could not possibly have considered these adequately Indeed breaking with established practice The FCC has not held a single open public meeting to hear from citizens and experts about the proposed order furthermore the FCC's online comment system has been plagued by major problems the FCC is not had time to investigate

1:53:48 These include bot-generated comments that impersonated Americans, including dead people and an unexplained outage of the FCC's online comment system that occurred at the very moment TV host John Oliver was encouraging Americans to submit to the system. Mysterious so they're implying... Hold on a second let me get this straight these guys are accusing the FCC about not understanding the internet? Yep And they don't see that they got overloaded a system because of John Oliver and they think instead of it being overloaded because of John Oliver, they actually think or somebody does. Somebody thinks that just somebody pulled the plug? Yeah, well that's what they're implying but what's interesting about the John Oliver comment who was heralded as the pioneer of net neutrality

1:54:42 And he has all kinds of conflict, but it's irrelevant. But here's what are going around on the face bag and it always starts with please cut and paste widely! Yeah because if you just like something or share... Put another timecode down. That way I think you're right Please do this and cut and paste widely. Net neutrality is about to disappear, like you can see it now. I see at the corner of my eye some net neutrality walking by. Net neutrality is about to disappear which would be truly catastrophic!

1:55:29 Follow John Oliver's instructions and tell the agency we want equal access and equal speed for everyone. Please do it now, it will take two minutes! Thanks to John Oliver there is a super easy way to do this!" And then he goes on to say, uh... Go to gofccyourself.com The shortcut John Oliver made to the hard-to-find FCC comment page He's so awesome! John Oliver is the best!! It goes on how it gives you instructions These poor misguided schlubs. You're so misguided, but you know what the I'm not gonna read any of this 43 pages for you But I did read it and What they're saying? The FCC doesn't understand is a difference between a dumb telephone company which is what they call the ISPs continuously dumb dumb pipes dumb network

1:56:27 Which is very, very insulting to people who run these networks. If you think that this stuff is easy... You got another thing coming! It's very- I've heard Leo Laporte say it's just like water! What's the problem? It's a big deal. I owned a data center and went bankrupt. That's how hard it is. It's a very capital intensive And really a lot of work goes into making exchanges work. But okay, they're just dumb pipes run by dumb people who do dumb stuff So they're saying that the FCC did not want to view them that way because FCC believes the ISPs provide important services in addition to dumb pipes and you know what? The example that they used is DNS

1:57:19 Which I think is actually a pretty good example. Well, go on... It's very... For them to say that's not an important service Sure everyone wants you to enter 8 dot 8 dot 8 dot 8 so Google can control your life DNS is truly the DNA of the internet You remove..you've messed with DNS Don't mess with DNS Yeah, we got problems We got problems! Big ass problems Now there are other things but in general What you said in the beginning is exactly that. You don't want the government regulating what is legal content and legal traffic, and I would say... And what's interesting is the irony of this letter where they say

1:58:07 that the FCC doesn't understand the internet, yet they want the FCC to take over the internet. How does that make any sense? You've already said and you're trying to make the point that the FCC are a bunch of boneheads. Let's let them do everything! How does that even work?! This is like Schumer and his policies about what the Republicans should worry about I mean come on, make up your mind Yeah, and I want to remind all these pioneers and everybody else Hello pioneers we have a message for you the same guys who said oh my god Whatever you do don't let the government have any involvement in the internet at all meanwhile after the Amazon Google fracas Google is now blocking Microsoft's YouTube Windows phone app from accessing

1:59:00 Any YouTube videos. Do- why does no one see the irony in this? You're actually not getting your, they're throttling and blocking content to users! Makes it just makes me nuts and people think we're the biggest a-holes in the world for being against net neutrality instead of thinking Hmm these guys have been around hmm. It's something different from a comedian on HBO who's on once a week Maybe I should look into it or understand what's really going on no none of that is frustrating John Oliver yes hero of the stupid

1:59:48 I think you made your point. Yeah, well... I gave up! I wrote about five columns on this and all my opinions are... Man there's a few people that care but most don't give a shit they just lockstep whatever John Oliver said it and somebody else said it and all the pundits think its right but they dont... Don't see any downside. They don't see the hypocrisy of spending the whole early years of the internet saying, don't let the government get involved and now demanding they get involved! Nobody sees that as nuts? Because it's not about anything altruistic... It is altruistic actually. It's not about anything for the people it's about them. It's all about them. It's about their companies and the power they want to have

2:00:35 They want anyone in their way. Anyone, anyone, anyone! Hey what's your polar bear clip? Uh the polar bear clip... as an entremont maybe? It's a teaser for, I just thought it was hilarious. It was the teaser for a special on the polar bears are increasing in numbers but they decided you know it's like that the powers that be or the system has decided now it doesn't fit into with the narrative and I use that word rarely now by the way Let's go back to 2005 I believe when The Original and Inconvenient Truth came out

2:01:11 And very famously, there was a shot of a polar bear on a little slice of ice looking really hungry and very sad. By the way you don't want to mess with the polar bear but the polar bears are dying! That's the genesis of this story so is this special about it? Yeah, this is a teascoop just from a couple weeks ago Tonight, on Nightline... Inside the melting Arctic Circle where the elusive polar bear is clawing for survival. As their environment disappears beneath their feet these powerful killers are moving inland towards humankind. Is that the most frightened you've ever been in your life? Yeah!

2:02:02 Amy Robach on a journey to the edge of the earth. There are four polar bears right there swimming in the water that's incredible with the Americans who call it home most people here have firearms just in case and the scientists racing to save this vulnerable species This special edition of Nightline Vanishing Ice The last American polar bears will be right back. Well, it's as if we had coordinated this program today which we don't do I picked up a little report on NPR from the guy who wrote the book on polar bears He went to Candinavia with his whole family and I think he went to its name of a president this town And I can remember its in the piece and uh oh

2:02:53 Uh-oh! In 2008, writer Zach Unger had a plan. He was going to save the polar bears by writing an epic treatise on the demise of the species My humble plan was to become a hero of the environmental movement I was gonna go up to the Canadian Arctic and write this mournful elegy for the polar bears at which point i'd be hailed as the next coming of John Muir Again this is NPR Born aloft on my shoulders of environmental compatriots There was just one problem Not all the polar bears seem to be dying. He realized the truth about the polar bears was complicated.

2:03:34 were not in as bad shape as the conventional wisdom had led me to believe, which was actually very heartening but didn't fit well with the book I'd been planning to write. A lot of people are going to hear that and say wait a second all we've been told for a decade now is that the polar bears are going extinct and it's our fault and they're all dying and ice is shrinking and their lives are soon gonna be over Well here's a fact that kind of blew me away when I first realized There are far more polar bears alive today than there were 40 years ago. There are about 25,000 polar bears alive today worldwide

2:04:10 In 1973, there was a global hunting ban. And so once hunting was dramatically reduced the population exploded. So this is not to say that global warming is not real or it's not a problem for the polar bears but polar bear populations are large and the truth is that we can't look at it as a monolithic population that is all going one way or another. You moved your whole family up north to do research for this book what was that like? Well, you know the idea was to use my children as bait of course The polar bears love little kids. They're they're perfect snacks but uh we were that part I liked a lot in this town in northern Manitoba where polar bears literally will walk down Main Street people

2:04:53 leave their houses and their cars unlocked. And it's perfectly good form just to duck into any open door you can find when there is a polar bear chase. So there are literally polar bears on the streets walking the streets with people from time to time? Well, I don't want to oversell it. There are definitely polar bears that come into town there are polar bears that will take a swipe at garbage cans there are polar bears that eat people's dogs but Churchill has developed a really innovative Polar Bear Alert program and the way that works is you dial phone number 675-BEAR when you see a bear and bunch of wildlife conservation officers in a truck with a bunch of guns come by and they kind of scare the bears out Of town and they have a progression that they use first. They will fire firecracker shells Then they'll move up to rubber bullets And then if necessary as a last resort or move up two real bullets, then they'll actually kill the polar bear if they have to

2:05:42 If they have to, that's very very rare. They don't want to do that these are conservation officers so their job is to keep bears safe So there you go and in the entire report after that little bit he mentioned no one ever said maybe this global warming thing is bull crap Well, he said in there that he doesn't believe... He did. Yeah. ...that global warming is happening probably and it may be affecting polar bears but not necessarily adversely. But they're growing in population that has never been as big in the past 40 years I got emails from a Dutch listener or someone who may have listened or was told to email me like I like you man but what's up with you and climate change? The polar bears are dying!

2:06:30 He said the polar bears are dying? In the letter. Well he's an idiot! He was Dutch so he said, The polar bears are dying you son of a bitch He's a nut because this is a known fact that comes up in the conversation all the time, that the polar bears aren't dying. But they keep harping on it! This is the same kind of litany. It's like you got to check list polar bears are dying let's put that on the checklist has gotta be checked off I mean it's just annoying to see this kind of thing just continue and continue and continue It's just unbelievable. I mean, it's like fighting the net neutrality argument. Is it worth the trouble? Well we did get some income today from a few people that want to be executive producers so yes but... I'm gonna show my school by donating to No Agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah they'd be fab! And wanna thank a few people and mention you know we got some people

Happy Birthday! It's your birthday yeah That's it One birthday today...one

2:13:20 No, I trace it back nine months and figure out why yeah something was not going on some was not someone's not going on at all now a couple things here. I've got a couple of things. I'd like to share waiting No, no night now cuz you want the song too, but I'll play it at the end of the show There's no nightings there's no nothing is no title changes as bad by bad bed bed um I have a couple of hate clips which is always nice now It's always nice here at the No Agenda Show to have some hate clips. This is very hateful. Omaroso, they have a fancy title for her there at the White House but she's basically in charge of communicating with black people

2:14:08 You know who I'm talking about, it's Amorosa. Yeah, Amorosa used to be Trump's one of her sidekicks on the Apprentice. The Apprentice yes well big news everybody freaking out oh she got she got fired! She got escorted out of the White House that she tried to bust into the West Wing and talk to the President. Now you think iIm exaggerating with that voice that I do But here on CNN, this was really mind-boggling to me. Maybe not to anybody else but we have April Ryan who I think broke the story

2:14:50 We have the host, Brooke Baldwin and Angela Rye. Angela Rye is the one I want you to focus on in this clip She worked for the Congressional Black Caucus. I believe she was a gopher? Maybe I'm mischaracterizing but I never got the idea that she had an important role at the Congressional Black Caucus But she's been a CNN commentator And a major hater of anything Trump or Republican And this story comes up and let's listen to her response. Same weekend she came and saddled up next to me trying to do something again with the president, the former president of the NABJ who she is friends with to stir up some controversy we also know... We remember that famous tape with Ed Gordon where I guess it was Friday where she was battling it out on stage It was very un-ladylike, it was ugly

2:15:45 But the White House also, and absolutely. But the White House condoned this and so while again I'm no fan of Omarosa, I will say that I find it interesting that the high drama person...the high-drama high profile African American individual in the White House is no longer to be tolerated but there are lots of other problematic high drama individuals on that still have jobs Well, Brooke... Go ahead Angela. I want to hear you and then i do want to talk about the black vote in Alabama that's so important today. I want to talk about the black vote too but Brooke I'm gonna do what you can't do and what April and Simone are two good people to do and thats just going to be petty for a minute

2:16:26 Oh, Angela. Bye girl! We did it already on the podcast April but bye honey you have never represented the community you are skin folk we don't own you like Zora goodbye good riddance goodbye Angela, Angela you know I have much love for you but you know what? I don't delight in anyone's demise that...I'm not delighting her demise i wish her the best God So happy that and I had to look up skin folk. But I know your skin. I've heard that before Yeah, it's in the urban dictionary It means you're of same color but you don't necessarily like the person I know your skin folk which means you're the same color even though we don't like each other with skin folk Oh man that Angela Rye is a hate hate she's gonna get sick from her hate

2:17:19 She probably is already. Why would they have her on CNN? It sounds like she's unhinged. That's why, and you ask the question why because that's what they want! They want some unhinged people on the air and honestly that's why I watch but here's Omarosa with a sit-down calm interview explaining it... What happened?! I resigned and didn't do that in the residence as being reported. John Kelly and I sat down in the Situation Room, which is a very secure, quiet room at the White House We had a candid conversation And I wanted to make one year mark That was one of my goals

2:18:01 and then get back to my life. So you resigned, you weren't fired as it reported? No And I like to hear all of these interesting tales but i have to tell you that they're 100% false One of the things that I'd ask those people who are making those assertions since they asserted I did so publicly is where are the pictures or videos if I had confronted John Kelly who's a very formidable person It would garner enough attention for anyone in the room to at least take a picture. So apparently this all came down at like some White House party and she was yelling and screaming at Kelly or video, something

2:18:42 The assertion that I would do that in front of 600 guests at a Christmas party and no one has reported that except for one individual who has a personal vendetta against me. And so, I have to tell you completely false unverified reporting and John Kelly and I had a very straightforward discussion about concerns that I had issues that I raised and as a result, I resigned. And it will be taking place January the 20th when i leave this very interesting administration So you're saying all these reports are coming from one person but you speak to... One person no let's let's be clear only one person Only one person No-one else has reported what she is reporting and this is the one person who has attacked me for the last year so you know that this is personal

2:19:27 Then I somehow, I didn't get a clip of her report. It was all sources, sources, sources, sources, sources unnamed sources really but April Ryan is a bad actor with this black on black hate female black on black. You got fired. Geez ladies but not as bad as the USA Today editorial board What do we know over there at USA Today? Is Schwartz still there? He might be, but he should quit immediately. Oh the place has just gone downhill since it was turned... It used to be run by...it's a long story but right now who is in control of is completely nuts! Well can I just read a little bit of this?

2:20:17 It starts off. This is an editorial I believe and not an op-ed? No, it's the editorial board Yeah So these... who was on.. let me just see there's a link who is on the editorial board There something you never do Let's see But they don't have what is this they don't have a good list I wonder, well maybe you can look up who the editor- Wait they have a link and there's the link leads to no list? No it links to all of their opinions but it doesn't lists their who is on the board.

2:20:54 Now we have to before you read it. We gotta get these guys I'm gonna not yeah editorial board Just being a teacher just being it being it just being it Yeah, yeah You have it yet? I'm gonna be looking at yeah, you're gonna being it good. Okay you have it Yeah, we got bill sternberg David Mastillo Jill Lawrence, I don't know any of these people do on the Lston Josh Rivera Eileen Rivers is anyone We know Sandra Torrey Greg Zeroria no nobody we know and here we go let me just read this to you

2:21:52 Headline will Trump's lows ever hit rock bottom. Here's the lead a President who'd all but call a senator a whore is unfit to clean toilets in Obama's presidential library or to shine George W Bush's shoes Whoa that right there just says it all With his latest tweet clearly implying, CLEARLY implying that a United States Senator would trade sexual favors for campaign cash. President Trump has shown he is NOT fit for office! Rock bottom is no impediment for a president who can always find room for a new low. Can I ask an interesting logical question? Sure

2:22:43 If Trump is such a douchebag sleazeball, wouldn't he have taken the opportunity to get a blowjob from her? I'm thinking he might have. Yeah well i don't think he did because i don't think that's what this implies of course it doesn't He would have taken the blow job and then bitched about it She was no good It didn't work right. White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday dismissed the president's smear as a misunderstanding because let me just read the tweet so people have that in context and verbatim Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office quote begging unquote for campaign contributions not so long ago in parentheses and would do anything for them

2:23:30 Is now in the ring fighting against Trump, very disloyal to Bill and crooked. Used." So that if your mind is there I guess you can see that's calling her a whore. Um...I think the only reason why people think that what he meant is because they might have done it! I don't know? Anyway White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday dismissed the president smear as misunderstanding because he used similar language about men Of course words used about men and women are different Okay, when candidate Trump said a journalist was bleeding from her wherever he didn't mean her nose Another thing I disagree with you remember that about Kelly Megyn Kelly? Yeah. I remembered I remember the context and I remember the way in fact when I first heard it I didn't think that she was because our minds are not in the gutter That's why he was he said well, she's bleaching bleeding from her eyes or ears whatever

2:24:29 And it wasn't seeming, he wasn't targeted. I just didn't hear it. I didn't hear what everyone else heard which is the oh Oh, you know he's smeared her somehow. We're Trump apologists! We're Trump apologists. And as is the case with all of Trump's digital provocations, the president's words were deliberate he pours the gasoline of sexist language and lights the match gleefully knowing how it will burst into flame in a country reeling from the hashtag me too movement A president who would all but call Senator Kirsten Gillibrand a whore is not fit to clean the toilets in Barack Obama's... They used it twice? Yeah. So, he... so the guy who wrote the editorial called Gillibrand a whore twice? Yes. So, he's the guy calling her a whore? Yes. Okay. I just want to get that straight. Go on. It should surprise no one how low he went with Gillibrand

2:25:31 When accused during the campaign of sexually harassing or molesting women in the past, Trump's response was to belittle the looks of his accusers. Okay blah blah blah blah blah... Let me see if recent history is any guide the unique awfulness of the Trump era in US politics is only going to get worse Trump's utter lack of morality ethics and simple humanity has been underscored during his 11 months in office. Let us count the ways Enthusiastically supporting Alabama Republican State Senate candidate Roy Moore who has been accused? That earlier in the show that's a lie he was not enthusiastic, and he's actually was for this guy strange So okay let's just I just want to make sure that we're noticing that this is just a blatant lie yep

2:26:17 All right, go on. Trump apparently is going for some sort of record for lying while in office kettle pot as of mid-November he had made 1628 misleading or false statements in 298 days in office that's 5.5 false claims per day according to the Washington Post fact checkers fact-check false Trump takes advantage of any occasion even Monday's failed terrorist attack in New York just er racial religious or ethnic strife I agree with that. That was very annoying to me, where we still don't know jack crap about Vegas but this guy... We know who he is! We know his chain migration! We immediately had people talking about chain migration. I totally suspect this failed attempt because it's failed as a ruse and I think Trump's in on it. Don't put it beyond him. I really don't or the administration

2:27:19 A man who clearly wants to put his stamp on the government, Trump hasn't even done his job when it comes to filling key government positions that require Senate confirmation. And then the final point, Trump has shown contempt for ethical strictures... Does he mention about the Senate confirmation that Gillibrand who has voted no against every possible confirmation which she admits too? Nope. Okay. What are ethical strictures? STRICTURES. Stricture would be ethical standards, it'd be like standards. That have bound every president in recent memory he has refused to release his tax returns with the absurd excuse that

2:28:03 It's because he is under audit. He has refused to put his multi-billion dollar business interests in a blind trust and peddles the fiction that putting them in the hands of his sons does the same thing, not to mention calling white supremacists very fine people, pardoning a lawless sheriff, firing a respected FBI director and pushing the Justice Department to investigate his political foes. It is a shock that only six Democratic senators are calling for our unstable president to resign The nation does not seek nor expect perfect presidents and some have certainly been deeply flawed. But a president who shows such disrespect for the truth, for ethics, for the basic duties of the job and for decency towards others fails at the very essence of what has always made America great."

2:28:51 Along with this, because this is clearly dimension B. This is alternative universe. This is their perception so it's their reality I cannot nor am I interested in fighting that you know people see it this way and they believe it and you just can't help it but right fine where this comes from is something deeply rooted and we talked about it after sometimes John and I will give each other little tips of things to watch. I doubt you had a chance to look yet, and probably better because you will hate it so much Did you watch the new Sarah Silverman show on HBO? No Good

2:29:30 This is from one of the episodes and I this one. I Think Tina, I decided to have sex instead of watching the rest of it which was a good decision And when you but when you listen to this little monologue it explains Well, it doesn't explain how it happened but it shows you what's going on in the alternative universes where their perception is the following reality. I had a boyfriend many years ago he was my first boyfriend who had his own house One day I went outside to see what he was doing and he was a hoisting an American flag up the flagpole in his front yard And I instantly felt very weird It didn't make sense, but I felt this feeling of like um. I felt scared yeah, I felt scared and so I was like What are you doing? And he said oh

2:30:27 Raising the flag and I was like why? And he's like um because I love America, and I was like right Right of course But inside, I was shaken. And then I calmly walked to my car and got inside and called my sister Suzy to tell her what happened Now maybe you're thinking What do you mean what happened? Nothing happened Your boyfriend put up a flag at his own house No, you're totally right! I had no idea why I was freaking out I just...I had this very visceral reaction My sister who knows sh** because she's a rabbi in Israel explained it to me She said

2:31:07 Nationalism is innately terrifying for Jews. Think about it, flags marching blind allegiance these things tend to ring a bell for us right of course duh it made sense and and it made me realize that the things that terrify some people are the same things that give other people great comfort You know, it's like the way the sight of a police car might give some people comfort. For instance white people or it might make other people very uncomfortable like say unarmed black children playing in a park

2:31:49 Oh, and I guess like the Duke boys. They always had run-ins with the cops didn't they? But they would have been shot dead in episode one if they weren't white as the driven snow with a confederate flag on top of their car I find that nationalist movements tend to kind of exploit patriotism for their own cause. Like take a slogan like, make America great again or America first they go down easy they sound patriotic but patriotism and nationalism to me are very different things like Patriotism is loving your country i'm a total patriot I love my country whereas nationalism has this we're number one vibe

2:32:30 And I fear that that we're number one nationalism is really like an old bed buddy of racism and xenophobia. And by the way, if something is truly number one you don't have to go around saying it all the time It's kind of like a beta move Really? I mean Harvard doesn't take out ads that say Harvard! The world's number 1 college Apply now The failing Princeton is number 3 Sad You know what I'm talking about Now before we discuss it, I would like to read from Harvard. Harvard is the best school because the best students choose Harvard! Year after year students who are accepted to Harvard and other schools pick Harvard over other schools in a majority of cases When students are admitted to both Harvard and Yale for example 58% percent of students choose Harvard over Yale! I mean come on Sarah

2:33:22 But there it is. There it is, to me in a nutshell the idea that the American flag...that it freaks her out, that it's scary to her with that as the undercurrent of what is present in the United States of Gitmo Nation I think we're done! We invented the big foam finger number one. We invented that. You know? We're endeared and mocked for it It's who we are I think. You always do this, you'll take something like this idiot who is not a professor of anything she's a professor of comedy she was trying to be funny and then you'll make some comment...you've done this a number of times in it's fair i find it very galling

2:34:10 You go, oh we're done. We're through. We're fucked up. That's it! We're done. We might as well shoot ourselves and you take this very negative look at it. At what point did I use the F word or say we might as well shoot ourselves? That is your interpretation and your perception. You've done it before, you never... well when did you use the F word? I don't know, you use it but it's beside the point I'm just trying to exa...I'm trying to point out that you have taken this negative approach when you see some lunatic like Sarah Silverman who goes on about... I think you're right about the whole...your analysis is right she's got a screw loose and she's weird

2:34:49 But it doesn't mean we're done by any means, it just means she's done. And how is it going here in America so far? I don't know! There's a lot of harmony... There's some disharmony, but I'm looking out there at the packed freeway. Okay? All right. All right. So it's galling to you fine here is my question to you where does this come from this fear of someone hoisting the flag because they love their country Where does that what explain to me when did this happen now she throws in a Jew joke like okay sure That's very funny The smart rabbi told her this is what it was bullcrap

2:35:29 But I think this is something that is present and real. Yeah, I'm not gonna argue that So where does it come from? How did this happen? Globalism! This is the globalist... You've explained the globalist perspective which is dimension B No borders no barriers no prisons no borders no flags no countries And that's permeated That is the problem which is as global as always, just one big happy Kumbaya world government. That should be just fine. Let George Soros take over the place." And she's just reflecting it. But how did that get in to her psyche? The schools.

2:36:11 It's in her psyche. They don't teach civics anymore, they don't teach American history the way it should be taught...they have no pride in the country, their entire school system? They just demean everything and they promote a globalist one-world government internationalist movement! And that's what our show fights! I'm still fighting it doesn't mean just because i say that. I think we're doomed as, we don't fight it dude Wow for mr.. Crank to call me the crank yeah pretty rich before about About five months ago you did the same thing you got real depressed about somebody so five months wow every five months? I'd say something that really galls you look man complain about the potholes again and we're done with it oh

2:36:55 I got other things to complain about and i rarely complain about the potholes. I got something to complain about You've got something to complain about It's not just the FBI who is corrupt and rotten And is part of the deep state trying to get their way CIA has their fingerprints all over A lot of this muck, and that was demonstrated by Mike Morrell right? Right He says right at least After every other sentence in this interview Right. Did you I'm surprised he doesn't say it more so he did an interview I think was with Politico and the Politico interviewer also has some funny comments in there, and he's pretty much admitting that CIA really really messed with then candidate and to this day still with President Donald Trump in August of 2016

2:37:51 When I became political, right? Right. When I became political... Let me tell you what happened son You didn't become political! You were told to be political! It just doesn't...I find it very disingenuous. I became political was so hard for me to do that No, you were told to do it. You didn't like say hey, I want to go be political Is that okay CIA not how works in August of 2016 When I became political, right? When I endorsed Hillary Clinton with an op-ed in the New York Times. And that was a very difficult decision for me. And let's remember that this happened right after he resigned – he did that op-ed. It wasn't like a period of reflection… No! Right away. Good point, good point. Thank you. Because I had never been political before. I worked at this nonpolitical agency

2:38:44 bright red line between intelligence and policy, and intelligence in politics. I had never played in that world before but I was so deeply concerned about what a Trump presidency might look like from a national security perspective and believed that there was such a gap between Secretary Clinton and Donald Trump with regard to how well they would protect the country, that I thought it extremely important to come out and say that. Okay so flash forward a year was not a mistake? I don't think it was a mistake. I think there were downsides to it that I didn't think about at the time

2:39:27 I was concerned about what is the impact it would have on the agency, right? Very concerned about that. Thought that through but I don't think I fully thought through the implications and one of the ways I've thought about that Susan is Okay, how did Donald Trump see this? Right and from it's very important right one of the things we do as intelligence analysts is make sure that our guy the president understands The other guy right so let's put ourselves here in Donald Trump's shoes So what does he see right? He sees a former director of CIA and a former director of NSA Mike Hayden who I have the greatest respect for

2:40:07 criticizing him and his policies, right? And he could rightfully have said huh you know what's going on with these intelligence guys. It embroiders his narrative Exactly and then he sees a former acting director and deputy director of CIA criticizing him and endorsing his opponent um...and then he gets his first intelligence briefing after becoming the Republican nominee and within 24 to 48 hours there are leaks out of that, that are critical of him and his then National Security Advisor Mike Flynn. And so this stuff starts to build right? He must have said to himself what is it with these intelligence guys? Are they political? The current director at the time John Brennan

2:40:51 during the campaign occasionally would push back on things that Donald Trump had said. So when, when Trump talked about the Iran nuclear deal being the worst deal right in the history of American diplomacy and he was going to tear it up right on the first day you know John Brennan came out publicly and said that would be an act of folly so he sees a current sitting director pushing back on him right then becomes president He's supposed to be getting a daily brief from the moment he becomes the president-elect, right? And he doesn't. Within a few days there are leaks about how he is not taking his briefing so he must have thought that who are these guys? These guys out to get me as this political organization can I think about them as a political organization when I become president right

2:41:42 Okay, what is it right count? I think was 15 troll. I think you missed a couple now the chat room was counting but But you hear what he's saying that he's he's saying we leaked and then we didn't give him briefings And we said he didn't take briefings Maybe he's stating it incorrectly, but it sure sounds like it and there's another piece to this for every other part of the intelligence community Except CIA you're working for a cabinet member at CIA. You are working for the president United States That is your customer right? So when you see your customer questioning what it is that you are providing To him or her and that person seems to be cherry-picking

2:42:28 Right what they what they accept and what they don't accept. It's demoralizing And and when it's when it's demoralizing people take actions, right so I live pretty close to the agency there's a coffee shop between me in the agency and I've met I've met a number of Agency officers in that coffee shop we need to find out what coffee shop this is this sounds like fantastic place to go hang out because that's where the spooks all hang. I live pretty close to the agency there is a coffee shop between me and the agency and i've met, I've met a number of agency officers in that coffee shop who have said to me you know I'm thinking about leaving

2:43:13 And my pushback to them is your country needs you now more than ever. Don't leave, right? But it does lead people to question whether or not what they're doing is of value and look working there is really hard The problems are hard They're complex They're not easy to solve some of these targets that where we're trying to collect intelligence are extraordinarily difficult People operate in very dangerous places the hours are long. The pressure on families is is really tough And so if you think what you're doing doesn't matter Because the president United States is selectively listening it has impact. Oh, geez What a crock

2:44:02 I was thinking of leaving because Trump didn't take my report. Bull crap! This is bull. They didn't even give him the report. They won't even give them the report or the right briefings, who would they... maybe they're thinking of leaving because their bosses are a-holes and want to leave. You know, Brannon was a Muslim. I have a number of short, shortish clips maybe to keep them for Sunday. I don't understand why they haven't called this text gate yet? I've been waiting for someone to do it why don't we just say it these texts messages between FBI agent Scrotum and his girlfriend Lisa Page you want to know

2:44:53 Why don't we put that off because I want to, I think we've wrapped up. I do have one short 37 second clip which answers one of your questions. I thought would get it out of the way out of the way uh-huh which is what where's the polar vortex? Tracking at all i know it's not officially here but it it's here It is and it's been a biting wind all day long. New York not alone as you mentioned take a look at some of these numbers what it feels like right now across much of the Northeast single digits in many spots teens and as we look ahead towards tomorrow afternoon really, it doesn't get any warmer nor does on Friday because we've got a strong Alberta clipper that's bringing that snow to the Great Lakes That's gonna usher more in the way of cold air right now. It's got snow covering the entire hand of Michigan Detroit

2:45:35 And getting in through Pittsburgh could see four to eight inches of snow including northern parts of Ohio by the time it gets into New York though tomorrow, New Jersey only one two three inches But maybe enough to slick up the morning rush David. No thank you Thank you for solving this great mystery Yeah, it's the Alberta Clipper that's right The Clipper did it damn you Alberta Clipper? I heard that Adam needs to know this Alberta Clipper is that thank you Is that don't they have a sports team I don't think so. Who are the Clippers? Don't the Clippers play somewhere, the ice hockey team? Yeah in San Diego. Ah close it's almost Candanavia all right i'll do a tease then here's what you're going to hear on Sunday show this is the person we needed to avoid a conflict of interest and then he said this they fully deserved to go and demonstrate the absolute bigoted nonsense of Trump

2:46:26 But he wasn't content to just disparage Donald Trump. He had to disparage Donald Trump's family This is what he said, Mr Deputy Attorney General. He said the douchebags are about to come out!

Have you ever heard of the cycle with 33 years?

2:54:28 Our calendars are wrong. A year isn't 365 days long, so we're always a little out of sync But every 33 years The stars, the planets and the whole universe return to the exact same position. Have you ever heard of a cycle of 33 years? But every 33 years...

2:55:10 Our calendars are wrong, a year isn't 365 days long so we're always a little out of sync. The douchebags are about to come out
