Valley where he's freezing his
butt off
and they've banned the song I'm
Jessie
Dubrow nice play off of that
Dvorak
thank you it's cold outside
that's right
this is it banned everywhere
now the
song yeah it's gonna be we
determined
this was a creepy song a long
time ago
so it's like okay Oh perfect
we made it I'm very happy about
that so
here I am in pretty much Gary
Indiana
John bringing you the show live
once
again wait you know I'm used
that far
away from downtown I mean Gary
Indiana
you are in Gary Indiana yes
Geary we say
it's Gary was a Geary Geary
Indiana I
don't care what they say but
that's a
long ways away from we're from
Texas
yeah really
I've been further a crappy area
what are
you doing there well we are
here for
Tina's sister's a celebration
of life a
memorial which took place last
night in
Geary as she passed away John
if you
remember oh I'm sorry yes
she lived in Gary close enough
yeah so
it's not easy to find you know
well
actually this is one of those
hotels you
know every room is a mini suite
you have
I'm talking about you have a
little
kitchenette oh yeah yeah and
interestingly you know I'm
pretty much
outfitted for every scenario by
the way
before you go on I should
measure that
room here they're mini suite
it's got a
little kitchen little front
room bedroom
or correct that goes for a
million in
San Francisco and then you
still have to
share it with two people yeah
you're
absolutely right um but I'm
ready for
almost every single situation
in in
hotel rooms you know I've got
although
the Wi-Fi is outstanding so far
knock on
wood the only thing that I like
that
crops up from time to time you
know I
have my mic stand and I have a
foot for
the mic stand which is a clamp
that you
clamp on to the table
you have these tables that have
just a
little edge and doesn't have
enough
really to clamp no place to
clamp no
place not typically these these
desks
have a drawer and I can pull
the drawer
out and then clamp it but so
this one
just it could fall off at any
moment
just open it it stays on well
yeah yeah
exactly
so yeah and was very
interesting that at
the at this memorial last night
there
probably and it was fun you
know as per
her sister's wishes and she
wanted pizza
tacos and Miller Lite served
and and and
a her playlist of her songs and
it was
really nice and then someone
came up and
gave me a hearty in the morning
oh
that's nice yes and I think he
or she
says it was hearty yes I think
he or the
guy who hit him in the mouth
donated for
today so we'll get to that
later was
just it was one of those like
oh wow who
expected that
now we have a few listeners in
the
Chicago metro area yeah well
this is not
exactly Chicago huh
Chicago metro anyways it's good
ready to
do a show and I'm was kind of
glad that
you know may sound horrible I'm
kind of
glad that the old Bush passed
away
because ha at least I wasn't
gonna miss
any news because that was it
news was done it's like every
channel we
knew it we're just waiting for
this 24
and perfect in the weekend too
you know
this is exactly what you want
you don't
want it happening during the
week you
know all y'all was a little a
little
complicated because you have
the g20
going on but okay so I was just
rolling
out all there did George Bush
retrospective and there's very
little
mention of you know the
pardoning he did
you know to get iran-contra all
the
horrible stuff he was involved
in
there's no mention of that
hagiography
after a geography on all
channels did
they mention his involvement in
the
Kennedy assassination well no
the only
thing he's of course the only
man in
America of that age who cannot
remember
where he was on the day that
Kennedy was
assassinated no he says he
doesn't
remember because he knows where
he was
he says he can't remember
correct
correct correct
so where to start John because
there's a
lot going on with the g2o g20
we've got
oh you know what I know I'm
gonna start
just want to clear up some
confusion
from our last show which
carried over
onto the social Nets
I just want those Nets he's one
make
sure we're all on board here so
I played
a clip on the last show which I
think
you appropriately said this
sounds like
it's the onion this can't be
true and
you were both wrong in both
right at the
same time and was the clip and
I now
have the full expanded clip
this is a
European Parliament member
actually of
the I think he's of the the
feared
wielders PVV party so he is he
is not
gleefully exclaiming this he's
extrapolating and he is making
some
assumptions to the press about
the
compact on migration which is
due to be
signed on December 10th and the
and
everything that goes along with
that and
this is also known as the
Marrakesh
agreement I'll replay the clip
the
longer version of it so we get
full
context and then we'll just
discuss
what's really going on here the
press
conference and I'd like to say
some
words on the compact on
migration on the
10th and 11th of December Durban
International Congress in
Marrakech
Morocco with regard to this
global
compact on migration and
participating
countries are set to sign this
agreement
and although this current
agreement
isn't binding it still meant to
be the
legal framework on which the
participating countries commit
themselves to build new
legislation and
one basic element of this new
agreement
is the extension of the
definition of 8
speech the agreement want to
criminalize
migration speech criticism of
migration
will become a criminal offense
and media
outlets and that also concerns
you that
room to criticism of migration
can be
shut down the compacts for
migration is
legalization of mass migration
alright
so that was kind of in in
context and he
is extrapolating what's in this
agreement and I have a version
of this
from a member of the what is
this the UK
actually a member of the
European
Parliament from the movement
for Europe
of Nations and freedom whatever
that is
independent UK member of
European
Parliament basically the same
thing
and it comes from this
non-binding
agreement which to us here in
merica
means not mining who gives a
crap we
won't sign it anyway
however in if you heard the guy
says
this will be used as a
framework for
creating local laws and that is
definitely something that
happens in the
European Union objective 17
from the
document and this is why it's
going to
be used as a guideline and why
I think
Europeans are rightfully should
rightfully be worried about
what this
will become not what it is the
objective
17 is eliminate all forms of
discrimination and promote
evidence-based public discourse
to shape
perceptions of migration and in
this are
all kinds of words like enact
implement
maintain legislation that
penalizes hate
and aggravated hate crimes
targeting
migrants that can be made into
a law
very similar to the UK laws now
about
bullying public figures I'm
sorry
bullying politicians on Twitter
which is
now illegal you can't do that
you can
actually get arrested so here
is the
British take on this very same
thing
from Janice Atkinson who's from
independent UK party I think
voters in
the UK the EU and across the
developed
world this is a call to action
we need
you to contact your heads of
state to
tell them not to sign the UN
Global
Compact for Migration UK get
your heads
out of the brexit shambles for
a few
minutes and listen on the 10th
and 11th
of December our heads of state
will be
signing this deeply damaging
document
produced by those highly
educated highly
salaried and unelected people
at the
United Nations they have
produced this
compact that will silence free
speech
media freedom and if you think
you're in
control of your borders think
again this
compact backs the EU and the UN
aim to
flood our nations with 59
million
migrants by now I've tried to
find this
number of this 59 million
migrants it's
a meme it's really no it's
someone just
made it up I'm not sure where
it came
from
um anyway I'll finish this up
20:25 yes
you heard right
fifty nine million migrants by
2025 yes
the clock is ticking it's all
it's
nearly 2019 just six years to
go why are
they doing this I hear you ask
because
in the year 2000 these numbers
came up
the idea that our populations
were
declining and therefore needed
replacing
but how things have changed your
unemployment is at a record high
some countries have 50 percent
youth
unemployment in some areas of
Greece
it's even up to 75 percent most
countries that have taken in
migrants
are finding they are
unemployable on
average migrants have 13 percent
unemployment I have a 13 percent
employment rate so are a burden
on the
states even Merkel's emigration
spoken
spokesman said that up to
three-quarters
of amoun immigrants will still
be
unemployed in five years for
many others
we need up to 10 years
the statistics are long and
grim voters
in the UK yes you pay attention
mrs. May will sneak into
Marrakesh to
sign this dodgy deal just like
Gordon
Brown before her did when he
sneaked
into to sign the Lisbon Treaty
no nice group photo just her
signature
that buys all of us to
uncontrolled
immigration nice so of course
that won't
bind anyone and you know it's
only a
guideline but these things do
tend to
pan out that way when they sign
these
compacts it gives the
politicians who
are eager to do anything just
anyone's
like the those climate exactly
like the
Paris agreement exactly this
evolve just
suggestions I've spent
out-of-shape as
somebody says I'm not even
signing it
yeah but it's just suggestions
but
witness Paris burning because
the
suggestions were taken and put
into a
carbon tax law so these things
do have
implications but as of right
now it's
not there but if you look at
just the
final paragraph of this
objective 17
actually is interesting its
paragraph 33
subsection C promote independent
objective and quality reporting
of media
outlets
including internet-based
information
including by sensitizing and
educating
media professionals as you me
John we
need to be sensitized and
educated on
migration related issues and
terminology
investing in ethical reporting
standards
and advertising would they're
gonna
they're gonna win it they're
gonna
invest in ethical reporting
standards
and advertising well first of
all to
hold that whole paragraph
begins with
the word promote of course as
opposed to
it just lie or legislate well
this means
it did that's beyond suggestion
that's
like a suggestion that maybe
it'll be a
suggestion sure I find it to be
very
I understand in the debate that
we had
was largely about this it was
it wasn't
real or not builders guy which
I thought
was that I thought the guy
himself was I
did I saw him too he's like yes
it was
official yeah but it was dirt
will ders
guy and what that means he's
automatically no good no it
means it's
automatically going to be a
right there
in hysterics
exactly exactly now so it's of
course
it's being used to fear monger
amongst
people but I have to say that
there is
you know if you're seeing all
these
things remember we saw in the
Lisbon
Treaty and the protocols lots
of room
for a European army here we are
what 15
years later European army is
seriously
being nuts again it happened
yeah
exactly
but a lot of people aren't
gonna sign it
I mean Ali's not gonna sign it
the US
isn't obviously we're not gonna
sign it
we wouldn't sign that we're not
that
dumb there's one there's one
extra thing
that that we've learned on the
show that
plays into this and this is the
clergy
plan because this does fit in
the
Coutinho vocal Argy plan which
is to
make Europe brown again or make
your
Brown for the first time and
you know
angular Merkel won the color
key award
in 2010 2016 it was Juncker the
drunker
I don't think they've given it
this year
but this plan as we read
literally calls
for this mass emigration so
it's not
like this is without precedents
and
agreed to precedents by the
European
eaters
I'm not gonna argue that I'm
not asking
you to argue I don't know what
they're
thinking
well I mean what they're like
this has
this really I think a lot of it
stems
from Italy I think it's funny
to leave
either one rejecting it because
it'll
East the first I think the
first of the
EU countries that went into
negative
growth in terms of population
yeah
they decided all the Italian
society
don't want babies anymore right
and so
they started going in and did
rather
party and so they went into a
negative
population there so they were
gonna be
dead their whole culture would
be dead
in the next 40 years or 50
years or next
century right and so they had
to do
something about it
you know these are cycles I
think
everyone panics at the you know
the just
a most minor of consequence
it's weird
but there you have it but the
Italian
said no that maybe they want to
die off
so what the Italians are not
signing it
now is that what you're saying
is that
what you're saying yeah there's
a big
claim that you're not gonna
sign it yeah
well we'll see we'll see
now the whole thing is a fiasco
yeah what's the point what's
the point
who's behind it that's what I'd
like to
know I mean why is it called if
you look
at one of the papers it's
called a New
York agreement words would
resort got to
do it I didn't hear about oh
because I
think it was the way they do
that is
that means that it was first
drafted in
New York and so that's why this
is all
those this is called the
compact on
migration they call it the
Marrakesh
agreement because it's going to
be
signed in Marrakesh so that's
like the
Lisbon Treaty what did Lisbon
have to do
with it nothing it was just
drafted in
Lisbon huh yeah they probably
ripened by
New York came at the United
Nations in
New York yes
so yeah well I guess this is
all just
more part of the New World Order
which is under did the attempt
you know
I sound like an old fart when I
say this
but it sounds to me like they
just won a
week in Western civilization
people are fed up with Western
civilization you don't but you
ought OHS
and highways and you don't
sound like an
old fart that's a crisis that's
actually
kind of what's going on you
know in a
weird kind of way yeah I think
so
there's this the West that
Europe is
also to blame for everything
you know it
that's what's being sold there
you're
horrible you've made Africa
horrible we
need to have free movement this
whole
free movement thing or freedom
of
movement let's just switch to
brexit
because now we're getting close
to
whatever deal Theresa May is put
together and and you know I've
talked to
a lot of people who are in the
UK or do
business with the UK or it or in
European states and a lot of
younger
people and they all it the one
thing
they focus on you okay
now you just uh blanked out
completely
oh we that you're there yeah
the one
thing that everyone seems to be
focusing
on no matter where they are in
the
European Union if they're
usually if
they're anti brexit which I
think a lot
more people are is we won't
have freedom
of movement we won't be able to
do
anything can't do business you
know and
it wasn't all that hard before
was it I
mean you could you could
establish
yourself in a different
European country
you could you could get a work
permit at
least when I live there now
we're
talking 20 years ago I don't
know how
much changed but it wasn't like
a whole
it wasn't a horrible I owe or
deal and
how manned what are the numbers
really
how many people really from the
UK find
it important to remain a
British citizen
and work in a different country
I mean
it just seems like a little
over the top and but this came
up in the
latest questions with the Prime
Minister
I have a clip what we do to you
to PT
nationals oh yeah this is the
this is
the main driver what we do to
the
Europeans they're gonna do to
us so
they're kind of telling miss
Mae what
she can expect United Kingdom
young
people at the beginning of the
killer'
years will equally not be like
the same
rates of access to the European
Union no
well first of all you've jumped
to an
assumption there what I was
talking
about was the immigration
system that
will be independently put into
place
what we do know we've been
looking at a
variety of a variety of issues
in
relation to young people
particularly
one of the areas that we've
looked at is
the sort of programs such as
Erasmus
which have enabled that the you
know
students to take advantage of
membership
of the European Union but if
you look at
the the section within the
political
declaration you will see that
of course
we will be looking at the
mobility
arrangements that are the race
you and I
had to live work and love
across a
continent the 28 nations is
going to be
deprived to early young people
because
of Europe's session with the
negation no
and I refer you to article 53
the
parties agreed to consider
conditions
for entry and stay for purposes
such as
research study training and
youth
exchanges
so you're not indicating them
in the mid
name yes we are ending freedom
of
movement we are ending freedom
what
freedom of treatment movement
gives them
gives automatic lines to people
living
in the European Union that are
not
available to people outside the
European
Union in future we will end that
automatic right that comes with
free
movement what we will put in
place is
our system of immigration rules
which
will apply across all countries
and it
will be skills based rather
than based
on the country that somebody
has relied
no it seems like a big argument
about
nothing it's just this isn't
just revert
back to kind of what it was I
mean
what's the what's the big
problem that
me that's obviously which no
one wants
to bring up the other thing is
there's
no loss of freedom of movement
you can
still move yeah I don't know
why she
does she goes oh yeah we're
gonna lose
freedom of movement that's what
she said
she admitted to it she's a
terrible
she's not doing it oh it was
she would
do you always have to remember
she was
against brexit from the get-go
she was
an anti brexit tear mm-hmm so
what so
her hearts never been in it
I also failed to see how you
know what
the deal is going to be if you
look at
what's really happening in
Europe most
young people are not interested
I'm
generalizing but don't appear
interested
in actually moving anywhere for
work
reasons they're all counting on
the
living wage you know the the
basic
minimum income that everyone
wants so
desperately in European Union
just give
me some money so I can decide
if I do
want to work at all so I I
seriously
question how many actually are
interested in this freedom of
movement
business and I think there's
probably
three million EU citizens in
the UK and
maybe a million UK citizens in
the EU so
I can see who's more worried
but it's
not anyway when does this thing
close
isn't it March don't we have a
vote
coming what's going on with
that I've
always vote coming for what for
the
Parliament has to vote oh yeah
they have
to vote like I don't know I
don't know
if there's a timeline I've
always found
it interesting one time I ran
into some
we went floating around Europe
when
you're in Europe the gadfly
that you are
floating around Europe don't
have a lot
of plans so I float around yes
I've gone
to Europe many times with the
Eurail
pass and had lived very good
well I
would say that's floating
around mm-hmm
I run into this german girl and
I strike
up a conversation and I ask her
if she's
ever been to Paris
and she says no
okay well how long ago was this
that's
interesting is that in Europe
if you're
in Germany uh you can go to
Paris and a
job was to take three or four
hours and
a high speed rail five maybe
from
wherever you are pretty much or
you can
fly for like no no that's your
the euro
rail is very convenient yep
yeah well then not Europeans
don't have
the same access to it but what
if it
seems to me that if you're in
Europe if
you were in Europe station in
Europe and
or position in Europe but
you're in
Switzerland or someplace
Central Europe
you would be spending a lot of
weekends
going to Paris and then Berlin
to go to
the zoo when you go maybe
London you
that's what you do it you
wouldn't do it
every weekend because it would
get a
little you know boring after a
while but
go to Amsterdam go to Amsterdam
to smoke
weed and bang hookers that's
pretty much
you but you'd be doing this
order you'd
go to Budapest
yes so you do all that stuff
they don't
do that no well the Brits do
the Brits
love their freedom of movement
Amsterdam going to drink and
drink and
and bang hookers maybe that's
maybe
that's it fights over sake yeah
maybe
that's what the remainders are
really
pissed off about is hey why
just make a
deal with Amsterdam better yet
get you a
must to build you one of those
tunnels
yeah Hyperloop yeah be perfect
so meanwhile we have the g20
taking
place which I've gotten some
reporting
I have here oh by the way let
me just
back up to my last comment
since you're
looking I will say that's not
that not
just a European phenomenon up
in Port
Angeles where you're pretty
much on the
Canadian border even though
there's a
waterway right in between you
have taken
ferry boat and go to Victoria
Canada
probably one of the prettiest
cities on
the west coast and if not in
the world
mm-hmm
beautiful place to visit they
have one
of their Parliament building or
one of
the local Parliament building
provincial
Parliament's there they have a
small
Chinatown they got a fan it's a
fantastic little big city
mm-hmm and you
asked people there have you
ever been to
Victoria which is like a boat
ride away
in Canada no probably not no
probably
not huh why would I want to go
there
well it's it's it's kind of the
same
though being here in the geary
region me
and people say oh so tell me
about your
people don't a lot of people
don't know
my history I don't look like I
used to
you know so that's I grew up in
Hampshire you actually do look
like you
used to
no I don't think so and so if
you if you
put a giant fro on your head
you would
I've never had I've never had
afro know
what you call it but I'll say I
grew up
in Amsterdam and most people
like holy
crap I used to live in South
Indiana
most people don't have a
passport let's
be honest America is the king
of not
going anywhere
but maybe it's a little more
Universal
then than we think it is I
think it is
yeah so here's the g20 this is
an
interesting background er now
and after
that I have an article that only
appeared in the China Morning
Post I
think it is but here's a little
background err things from CBC
moments
like this told the story
critics of
Mohammed bin Salman wanted to
hear the
crown prince largely ignored of
the so
called family photo
walking off alone while other
leaders in
England this is an awkward
summit for
Mohammed bin Salman up for
grabs is how
the leaders of the Democratic
world were
going to treat him and
everybody was
watching Trump but someone else
stole
the show and bucked the
narrative
Russian President Vladimir
Putin with a
jocular high-five handshake and
black
shirt between old friends there
are some
similarities between Putin and
MBs
both have allegedly arranged
for the
assassinations of exiles abroad
both
have launched invasions of
neighboring
countries but it's unlikely this
displays about policy its
messaging this
is a thumb in the face of all
the
democratic countries that have
been
critical I've been someone for
the
killing of kajouji
and it's also interesting
because it
both takes Trump off the hook
but puts
him in the background both been
Salman
and Putin have had friendly
relationships with Donald Trump
that are
actually royal domestic
politics inside
the United States and in other
democratic countries
and Donald Trump probably felt
very
uncomfortable being outside that
handshake with two people that
he thinks
he has supported I'm glad to
see that
the candy Naviance reporting of
worldly
affairs is just as shit as
everybody
else's and a lot went on at
this things
particularly between Trump and
G what do
you have what have you been
learned
bothers the thing that bothers
me about
it hmm was there was a picture
going
around somebody one of my live
Joe's
sent me a copy of it yeah and
it shows
Trump in the background looking
longingly at Putin and
Khashoggi shaking
hands and smiling at each I
mean the
juggle jocular high-five is
that we're
talking about you know whatever
is our
killer
yeah so Trump's back they're
looking and
I think the picture is kind of
kind of
faked because if you look at
the video
Trump is walking in really I
don't even
know if he even notices them
and the
video shows what happened but
think but
the mainstream media keeps
showing this
picture still frame clip from
the video
making it look like he stopped
and
stared hmm he never did you can
go look
at the video and I thought was
very
disingenuous and they're all
playing
this picture oh there's Trump
or baby
his two friends are now friends
and now
he has no friends I think this
is the
same message yeah yeah yeah
well that's not the way and in
reality
that's not what was going on
but okay
okay so what did what did you
what do
you what have you been learning
I mean
I've got I've got some stuff
here I'm
havin learned anything except
there's
this meeting that trumpet seems
to be
more distracted by the bush
affair
because of the death of the old
man and
well he didn't want to do it
but she's
taking a local to key position
at this
thing he's not well the China
Post or
the China Morning Post claims
that there
was an agreement that there
would be a
90 day kind of a truce on the
trade rift
and that China would be
purchasing a
significant amount of stuff
from America
which I don't know what that is
also
China has agreed to designate
fentanyl
as a controlled substance these
are some
pretty interesting moves that
are
happening that's a big one yeah
and that
has and that only showed up in
the China
Morning Post and I'm not sure
what the
trade thing means it's it's a
little
unclear but this appear
apparently some
actual things took place
including yes
and that's where the stock
market
skyrocket yes Friday yes
English they
don't want to do did no it
doesn't play
into the narrative that that
trumps
socks of course not so that's
the only
thing they've been showing is
the why
haven't seen it obviously is
video of
Trump looking longing like that
like a
hurt teenager nope you missed
the point
is not video of Trump it's a
still frame
from the video making it look
like this
looking longing it looks like
he's there
staring oh no when in fact if
you watch
the video he never stops for a
moment he
walks in looks around doesn't
even see
them and then goes on his merry
way
and they found one frame where
he
appears to be looking at them
for one
frame which the rest show now
is a photo
that's fantastic good work guys
yeah a little extra in your
envelope
this Christmas yeah they could
use a few
hundred bucks yeah it's no
doubt about
that
somebody get paid and I think
it was I
even think that was doctored it
doesn't
look quite like it came from
the video
hmm no off to take a look at
that
um essentia copy the one that
delivers
Joe sent me is the one that is
the best
one and what was something
looks you
look at it you know what this
doesn't
look right is two-for-one thing
the guys
in front or here's this here's
AG one
giveaway for you Photoshop is
out there
the guys in front are in focus
then it
goes slowly out of focus at
bouquets a
little bit and then way in the
background is Trump somehow in
focus
that's great
yeah hey you saw your photo
shoppers
when you got that you got that
little
picture talking about hit the
blur
button a couple times put them
out of
focus it may take a little of
the drama
out but it won't look so fake
yeah send me that for sure I
thought the
story about Merkel's plane was
pretty
funny you see here David a lot
of moving
parts here in Buenos Aires one
of the
things we're going to be
watching for is
Angela Merkel of Germany
whether she
makes it here or not some
weirdness
around her flight departing
Germany and
then having to turn around with
some
communications problems she's
gonna
apparently fly commercial from
Spain to
try to get here not sure
whether that
affects her slate of meetings
or not a
lot of it affects her stature
moving
pieces here a lot of confusion
and of
course a lot of high stakes
economic
diplomacy as well so for some
reason
this story was going around
about her
plane was bugged and that's why
they
landed and cuz she didn't want
her yeah
whatever she was doing on the
plane two
bees drop I don't know where
that story
came from but I saw it a lot
yeah I'm not sure where again I
don't
know I just people started
saying oh it
looks like something with the
plane
being bugged I don't know but
what kind
of leader are you if you don't
have a
backup plane
yeah flight commercial that's
kind of
upsetting it's like hey Angus
fly Lufthansa yeah the coach
we'll buy you three C's you can
have the
whole row to yourself how's
that sound
yeah
no I didn't even hear that
story let's
see what I got for
international stuff
says Ron I see you have
Argentinian what
do you have two clips Argentina
meetings
nothing in there yeah well this
is the
background there's this this if
you want
to hold on anything the way CBS
played
it okay I think we should play
him yeah
I'm interested they're not too
long
there's Argentina meeting one
he inside
the conference the Saudi Crown
Prince
and Russian president
high-fived each
other but not president Trump
the sudden
chill among some leaders made
for a few
awkward moments major Garrett
is at the
g20 let's just talk for a
second about
that this high-fiving of Putin
and
Mohammed bin Salman
and what do you make of that
it's I've watched it a couple
times it's
not really a high-five it's a
it's a
handshake kind of a ghetto
handshake oh
well you know they grab the
hand high
and then you do a bunch of
movements of
the hand you wait they're doing
a soul
shake yeah no no no I've been
in Geary
miss Dinah I don't think we
have TV
reception you grabs a hand and
they do a
bunch of rigmarole yeah like a
rehearsed
thing like they've met each
other before
and they do this like boom boom
boom I
didn't buy them punch s missing
but what
are they thinking like hey this
is a
good thing to do this list
looks good
well the funny thing was it
looked as
though if you just would have
seen it
and not knowing any of the
politics you
would have said oh there's two
guys
haven't seen each other for a
while and
I don't know if they hugged
because they
took the camera off it after a
while but
it would be like you do that
you do the
rigmarole and then you hug and
do it
three Pat's on the back thing
that bro
is like two bros Wow and I but
then they
had both had be huge smiles on
their
faces and it you know their
media tried
to play this though that there
they have
one over on this idiot
president we've
got Trump and I'm thinking more
like you
know take the still shot of
Trump in the
background which never really
existed as
a still shot and put that into
play mm
it makes it our president look
like an
idiot
I think that was the point yeah
but
that's not the point that those
guys did
it they didn't do it nobody
ever asked
them no why would we Prince and
Russian
president high-fived each other
but not
President Trump the sudden
chill among
some leaders made for a few
awkward
moments major Garrett is at the
g20 in
Buenos Aires
president Trump avoided both
Russian
President Vladimir Putin and
Saudi Crown
Prince Mohammed bin Salman at
the
ceremonial g20 photo today
tensions with
both leaders just one
distraction in
Argentina for their part Putin
and the
Crown Prince appeared to get
along
famously shaking hands
enthusiastically
the White House said mr. Trump
and bin
Salman under fire for the
killing of
journalist Jamal khashoggi had
a brief
encounter where they quote
exchanged
pleasantries
moments later reporters asked
the
president what they discussed
the
president canceled two planned
meetings
with Putin here to protest
Russia's
seizure of three Ukrainian Navy
vessels
and 24 sailors the most brazen
act of
aggression toward Ukraine on
mr. Trump's
watch but White House officials
had to
beat back speculation the
meetings were
canceled after the president's
former
lawyer Michael Cohen pled guilty
yesterday to lying to Congress
about mr.
Trump's development project in
Moscow
Russia blame the scuttled
meetings on
domestic reasons in the US in a
statement White House press
secretary
Sarah sander said the special
counsels
investigation probably does
undermine
our relationship with Russia so
they get
a little jab in there at the
end oh yeah
part two oh there's anything
else to
talk about the president
tweeted that
his aborted Russian real estate
deal was
very legal and very cool does
this lead
us into this this thing or will
it come
back around to Argentina this
clip
and no I did that I don't know
I will
find out that's what the
President did
celebrate a revamp trade deal
with
Mexico and Canada the product
of months
of tense negotiations has been
long and
hard we've taken a lot of barbs
and a
little abuse and we got there
it's great
for all of our countries all
right major
the the big meeting though is
tomorrow
with the president and the
president of
China Xi Jinping what what
should we be
expecting from that well today
here in
Argentina Jeff both senior and
Chinese
officials expressed optimism
about
averting a trade war and
reaching some
kind of progress between the
United
States and China and the Dow
jumped
nearly 200 points on optimism
that a
fair trade war can indeed here
be
averted I love that so they do
spend at
least seven seconds on something
important and the rest is just
making
our president and our country
look
stupid like boneheads
and the president you know I
wonder if
the president is doing these
what I
would consider to be somewhat
double
entendre cuz of a sexual nature
oh
really I think a double
entendre is by
definition yes when he says
long and
hard taking Barb's a little
abuse
sounds like an S&M scene that
he's
interesting he has sex on the
mind
perhaps boy thought it may be I
don't
know I just when I hear it
heard as I
said that's kind of interesting
he said
that would that way could have
said she
said he could have put it in a
million
different ways and that's
abused and
maybe it's just me well I but I
do like
what the media is doing at
least from a
media perspective you know
making the
president look stupid for the
home for
the home team so we can do that
he's
he's locked out he's not
important he's
envious he's like the the
little girl
who doesn't belong in the club
and you
know when when Bush passed
almost the
first thing on the New York
Times home
page was an article about well
you know
will he be invited to the
funeral
will he be invited to the
funeral maybe
the bushes don't want him cuz
he was so
mean yeah well there's no way
it could
be not invited to the funeral
is gonna
be a state funeral for God's
sake but
the New York Times loves
printing that
stuff well this is an example
that sort
of thing is in this Amy Goodman
story
okay this is a story about
Deutsche Bank
the news you know there's a big
scandal
yeah they got for
money-laundering they
got rayon yeah yeah big big
raid so
here's the Deutsche Bank story
now it is
all about Deutsche Bank the
money line
and some let me guess trumping
Trump
into it in Germany Deutsche
Bank as
headquarters were raided on
Thursday as
part of a probe into money
laundering
the probe stems from the 2016
Panama
papers affair which revealed
mass money
laundering and tax evasion
scheme set up
by the most segments CEQA law
firm
Deutsche Bank is president
Trump's
largest lender
Trump reportedly owing hundreds
of
millions of dollars to the
German bank
for real estate loans dating
back some
20 years yeah I think that's
factually
incorrect I mean she's just
parroting
whatever she read somewhere and
you know
the former New York banker
worked there
he says we did two deals then
we all
made money on it was perfectly
fine of
course he sued us and we went
to court
we still made money on it so I
don't
think that's true but he still
owes
money just up it's just a myth
well if
he parried it as news this is
the
problem with these people yeah
and then
Mamie Goodman's very
susceptible to it
shouldn't even be in the story
though
it's about deutsche bank and
the money
laundry's got nothing to do
with Trump
under any circumstances just
cuz he
you're gonna name everybody
who's had a
bank account it's Deutsche Bank
whether
they borrow money or not
doesn't make
any sense
also in all of these
reporting's on
money laundering except way
after the
fact HSBC for which no one went
to jail
Jim Comey made sure of that as
a as a
member of the Board of
Directors if they
never really talk about what
the money
laundering was and the same
with this
Deutsche Bank story has anyone
to add
have you've been able to find
anywhere
what or who they were
laundering for or
what the money was where the
money came
from what do you think you'd be
if you
can find out that they were
money
laundering you had to be able
to find
out who they were minded
laundry before
he wouldn't have a case yeah
but that
just seems to not be important
I don't know why they don't
bring it up
well one of the Mexican cartels
is a
European interest is it is it
you know
some African despot I mean we
don't know
drugs typically isn't just mmm
drug money that's what it was
an HSBC
was a drug money drug money
okay who's
drugs well was Mexican drug
money with
the big one I remember that for
that but
again that's also just ya know
whatever
fine this is it yeah no one
cares just
drug money quiet quiet
well then there was the the
best the
best Trump Slam came and this
is your
beat I don't know if you have
the clip
they now apparently cancelled
Murphy
Brown reboot
it's been canceled I believe
what stinks have you seen and
thank you
to all the Norman Lear folks
for helping
that story get off that show
get off the
ground by screwing them with
these
thematic you know
anti-government
stories well it's not a
government I
trauma it's yeah it's not just
anti-government in that I don't
know if
you saw this this is I think
it's a
trailer or just a piece of it
so I
haven't seen the whole episode
you know
of this aired or not it's
Murphy Brown
and one of her journalists has
been
beaten into a hospital at a
trump rally
so he's his face is all mashed
up and
beaten she comes in and does
that
happened and we start with the
scene
I guess when you major in
journalism
these days you have to minor in
a
kickboxer have a frank hey guys
what
happened to you I thought you
knew how
to duck you should see the
other hundred
guys how bad do I look not bad
if you're
a pinata so I guess the
takeaway here is
next time you cover a rally
hope the
president doesn't give you a
shout-out
right in front left the stage I
decided
to leave the press pen and go
interview
some of the people next thing I
knew I'm
surrounded by a sea of red hats
oh god no big deal I'm just
milking this
for the jello and sponge baths
there you
go
a journalist got beaten within
an inch
of a lot of his life at a trump
rally in
the pretend Murphy Brown Series
hmm when
does that happen in real life
no it
hasn't happened in real life
but I think
that bunch of Trump supporters
if they
had the crap beat out of them
yeah
but sat in California that's
why Trump
never came here I mean it's
just it's
unconscionable
well again a guy they had to
put the red
hats in there too like they're
gonna be
wearing the red hats mm-hmm
horse of
course that's it's well it got
canceled
so that's always doomed from
the first
episode the clips I played from
it but
it judge hold on a second we
know how
television works shirt and okay
it's CBS
CBS CBS but still to get
anything on the
air at any network any
television
network that's a quite a
process there's
a lot of people and a lot of
money
involved and how can they still
believably Edward how can this
happen I
mean that must mean that at its
core CBS
is so hateful and so rotten
otherwise
you just don't put this on the
air just
because you know it's not gonna
be
successful it it's like
community it's
like harakiri you know that
it's not
gonna draw all the audience you
need for
a prime-time show couple a
possibility
couple of possibilities to put
our
executive hats on okay
it had to be at Moonves
greenlight cuz
that's when he was in the
consisting was
green-lighted long before he
got kicked
out right Moonves may have
green-lighted
it knowing it was gonna fail
but it was
a quid pro quo to the CIA or
somebody
else who's got a lot their
claws are all
over for all over CBS as we've
pointed
out before and it was this note
it's
gone way back to the early days
they've
always been very closely
connected to
that Network and it may have
been just a
nod to them with it in mind
that it
wasn't gonna work out because
you know
but it was gonna get a lot of
attention
for not working out or it may
get some
make some point maybe the point
that you
just played is the point that
it was
trying to make and it was
that's fine it
was kind of cancelled so what
we we put
all the things on that we
expect to
cancel right away anyway ABC
did it with
Roseanne you're looking for any
excuse
to get rid of her so you know
you don't
know I mean I there's some note
of
insincerity about the whole
thing I mean
bringing Murphy for one thing
Candice
Bergen she's lost whatever
acting shops
she won't come once had and
seem to be
faxing in her performances and
the whole
thing seems somewhat fake so I
don't
know just saying long answer to
I don't
know well I suspect there's
something
more to it than just that I was
going
through the process and then
then then
just crapping out hmm okay well
it's it
shows no business acumen in the
decision-making or at least not
business
acumen that these executive
producers
would adhere to you know or do
well or
the network at the time because
now that
Moonves is that Moonves may
have also
been one of these guys who run
these
networks that can say yeah it's
not
making it now but it will I
mean there's
numerous wrong carrying shows
mash I
think was one of them Cheers
was another
one it was a bus and oddly
Baywatch only
was successful in the endorse
land
but boy was Hasselhoff right he
was
right a word I think the word
bust has a
different meaning with Baywatch
yes
gotcha all right
does that bring us to me too
does that
bring us to Neil deGrasse Tyson
well no
I would not quite but we're
gonna get
there good I just want to get
this one
out of the way because we
talked about
the Trump and the Russian deal
and all
the rest there's one little
tidbit that
Amy and I don't know if it's
bull crap
or not but it's pretty funny
but but the
way it's presented is kind of
disingenuous another example
this is the
listen you have to listen
carefully this
is about a penthouse all right
that
Putin was supposed to get ya
the 50 the
50 million dollar penthouse
that was
supposed to be a part of the
collusion
deal yeah yeah okay BuzzFeed
News is
reporting the Trump anything
that starts
off like that I mean you could
pretty
much it starts off with
BuzzFeed news
I'm like click other channel
BuzzFeed
news is reporting the Trump
Organization
planned to give a 50 million
dollar
penthouse at the proposed Trump
Tower
Moscow to Russian President
Vladimir
Putin okay so what it's just a
room on
the top floor of the place
you're gonna
give it to somebody because
usually it's
a gift to someone digs as a
bribe it's a
bribe yeah well you can you can
price it
is ever anything you wanted it
could be
if it was an Emeryville over
here
they had these penthouses or a
million a
million dollars so
yeah Mosca in Emeryville but
still right
but I mean this is sort of that
was just
out who cares thing personally
IIT was
giving him fifty million
dollars no
but this this has been a story
that I've
heard all weekend about this
penthouse
and you know the collusion and
well
actually I'm gonna play this
now cuz I
think it makes a lot of sense
collusion
yeah any collusion
so I'll just so the background
to all
this is Michael Cohen flipped
he flipped
he's done something it's oh
wait I have
I have the background err what
am I
thinking I have the background
err from
the view I gotta tell you this
this news
about Michael Cohen we always
knew when
Michael Cohen flipped that he
probably
had some significant
information now
he's pled guilty to lying in
front of
Congress about the Trump Tower
plans
that the Trump Tower was gonna
be built
in Moscow so he okay so you got
you got
to write this down to follow it
so now
he's been he's been caught
lying to
Congress apparently he's got it
right
down Congress said you know
everything
ended when Trump became
president in
January of 2016 now we know
those Cohen
was lying to Congress I'll
continue
through July 2 but Michael
Cohen lied to
the public to the Congress and
the
president lied to the American
people
the revelation he lied to the
American
public where they have been
giving us
actual counts of how often he's
lied to
the American pop American
public but
this one is a little different
somehow
going on and on bloviating on
and on but
he said that there was no deal
there was
no Moscow Trump Tower yes so it
never
happened so what's the big deal
what do
you say it is a big deal
because if it
happened if these negotiations
were
going on while he was president
it's
precisely what the framers of
our
Constitution wrote in to
protect the
American people against what
she's
referring to is our old friend
the
emoluments clause which will
pop up
again and we'll be hearing
incessantly
because somehow a deal that did
never
completed is enriching yourself
it's
because we want to make sure
that this
president any president is not
putting
his self-interest before the
interests
of industry our smoking gun
here do you
think I think so what's going
they'll be they'll be documents
you know
negotiation this is a common
theme is
the legality of the charges and
these
you know what it will entail
your a lot
of brain fry orange man bad you
know
when these when these questions
are
trying to be answered documents
there
could be tapes that's the funny
thing
when people lie to the federal
prosecutors don't they know
that federal
prosecutors usually don't even
ask
questions they don't know the
answer to
already like they have the
Federal
Bureau of Investigation rule
for them
there yes investigative tool in
the
world usually asking questions
they
already have the answer I don't
think
it's a huge deal for Moeller
and it also
sadly doesn't surprise me that
I just
love just huge dill this is
dill this
armchair quarterbacking is
great when it
comes from the ladies from the
view
Cohen has lied to Congress and
that man
afford for sly lawyers I mean
these are
bad guys it's not like he
surround
himself with upstanding that
they're
very brave that Michael is not
like oh
and he called him weakness
right I'm
gonna go because the other ones
I'm not
flipping the radio get part
there's also
a chance that the public
doesn't even
get the results of this report
right I
think there's this idea that
molars
gonna stand from the camera and
he's
gonna you know list a bunch of
things
that they found but ultimately
Muller
gives it to Whittaker that's
why his
role is so important because
Whittaker
the Attorney General can then
decide to
just keep it quiet just give an
outline
to I would wager that your Lib
Joe
friends have very similar
scenarios in
their head as to what's going on
but of course they do I don't
we don't
have to defend it hell froze
over and
Jake Tapper of all people
disgraced from
ABC News lower down to CNN and
he has
incoming chairman or most he's
now the
currently the ranking member
which means
he's of the you know of the
opposition
party but this the Democrat his
name
a Jerry Nadler so he will be the
chairman Adler is the worst of
the group
by the way this is the best at
worst so
he's going to be the chairman
of the
House Judiciary Committee yeah
now
oversight over the Justice
Department
and Jake Tapper god bless him I
don't
know what happened I don't know
if it's
smart of him to do this because
of
course a guy like Nadler will
come on
CNN thinking home game no
worries I'll
just punt
just you know Bop it around
like we
always do and I'll score some
goals and
I'll go home what well first of
all I
think Nadler is not well-liked
by by
anybody and so I don't think is
he's
gonna get that treatment well
he did not
get that treatment but that's
what he
was thinking and yeah okay well
then he
was very poorly yeah he's an
idiot but
that's what he would be yeah
that's what
he would be thinking so Jake
Tapper
states the obvious not once not
but
maybe five times in this
interview he
says yeah what Trump did may
not may
stink I think he says it may
stink but
it's not illegal but listen to
the brain
fry and subsequently the just
word
diarrhea coming out of his
piehole and
this guy is going to be the
chairman of
the Judiciary Committee it's
baffling
congressman Jerry Nadler of New
York
he's the ranking member of the
House
Judiciary Committee expected to
become
the chairman of that committee
when the
Democrats take control in
January thanks
so much for being here
appreciate it
this is clearly not welcome
news for the
president I don't want to
pretend that
it is but once it going to look
at these
documents and I don't see any
evidence
of conspiracy between members
of the
Trump team and members of the
Russian
government to interfere in the
election
well first of all the president
obviously has to be feeling
very upset
and angry now that the now that
we know
that Michael Cohen was lying to
Congress
on his it was lying to Congress
on his
behalf and he has to be upset
about what
what Michael Cohen has admitted
to now
and presumably what it
I'm just realizing that this is
really
how this guy thinks he's really
thinking
oh man I bet Trump is really
pissed off
about this I bet he's really
just
steaming he's so mad about the
cone
flipping on him he's gotta be
worried
yeah is that he was negotiating
a
corrupt business deal in Russia
on
behalf of the president during
the
campaign now you and I would
probably
say hold on a second
I mean corrupt business deal
this is new
what you're putting in here was
it any
reporting of it being corrupt
and lo and
behold Jake Tapper does just
that when
the president was saying there
was no
negotiating there was no
business do you
follow a business deal well the
fact
that it was a negotiating with
a foreign
power from a business deal
while you're
running for president not
illegal you
mean like more just closed yes
no
conspiracy now that guy's brain
is on
fire
certainly tends to indicate
it's one
more bits of evidence
remember so now we know the
Trump during
the campaign at the same time
that he is
dictating a change in the
Republican
platform to favor the Russians
at the
same time that he can find
nothing
negative to say about Putin
well here
are the charges number one so
apparently
negotiations were going on with
the
Russians while he changed the
platform
to favor Russia which is
debatable but
the platform was changed but
the second
item on the list
the second item on the list is
he wasn't
saying anything bad about him
he wasn't
he was page him it's actually
in an
offense to not say something
bad about
it about what they're doing is
in fact
negotiating with the Russian
government
for personal business profits
he's
mixing his personal business
profits
with respect and perhaps
putting them
over the interest of the United
States
so this is the case I love this
that the
Trump as everyone knows is such
a
narcissist the sole care
so little about America that he
only
wants to enrich himself and
during the
campaign and during the
election and
today right now all he cares
about is
getting richer himself and not
about
America that's that that is the
claims
and full and lying to the
electorate
about it does Jake Tapper want
to be
fired well it may be conspiracy
not to
interfere with the election
there's no
but no but now you have another
you have
another piece of evidence of
active
business that's inspiring by
Trump with
the Russian government at the
time at
the same time that you have
other people
who are agents of Trump dealing
with
with all the things we've seen
about the
hacking you Lucifer - and the
WikiLeaks
and everything else it's like
that other
clip do we play John where is
like give
me some examples of how he's
undermining
democracy and people just start
yelling
FBI this guy he's just throwing
we're a
WikiLeaks Agusta 42.0
you have another piece of
evidence of
evidence of active business
dealings
inspiring by Trump with the
Russian
government at the time at the
same time
that you have other people who
are
agents of Trump dealing with
with all
the things we've seen about the
hacking
youth guseva - and the
WikiLeaks and
everything it's another point
of and
they're all tens in the same
direction
so President Trump responded to
basically what you said earlier
today
let's play that he basically
says he he
wasn't the president he was
mystic and
he can do what he wants
well no he's not allowed to do
whatever
he wants to he can be done he
is allowed
to have private business
dealings with
the Russians he is not allowed
to have
private business dealings to the
Russians and like to the
American
electorate about it at the same
time
changed the Republican platform
with
respect to the Russians in
other words
to mix his public policy and
probably
the public policy going forward
into his
presidency based on pub he's
not allowed
to I don't I'm not disputing
that it
stinks but it's not illegal
right it's
not illegal to have public to
have
business dealings with the
Russians it's
not illegal to it may very well
be
illegal to take that public it's
certainly illegal if he's done
anything
there as president based on his
business
relationships to the Russians
and this
this is another piece of
evidence going
toward that toward that
conclusion well
it's clear impeach him what the
hell was
he saying
he wasn't saying anything but
here's the
another question that could
have been
asked
why was it in Putin or the
Russian
government's best interest to
get him
elected when if they had not
gotten him
elected Putin would have
benefited with
a 50 million dollar penthouse I
don't
think Jake had read that
BuzzFeed at
that point so maybe he didn't
have that
information but what does that
mean
Tapper all of a sudden now he's
he's
just you think he likes Nadler
hmm
brothers an unlikable person
but I think
he puts his his his reputation
on the
line with their with stuff like
this
well yes doing hard-hitting
news as with
his hard-hitting he's he's
rolling it
out real hard hard-hitting
barbed and with that I'd like
to thank
you for your courage and say in
the
morning to you John C stands
for I can't
come up with something in Geary
Dvorak
in the morning to you mr. Adam
curry
also in the morning to all the
ships at
sea boots on the ground feet in
the air
and soaps in the water and all
the days
and nights out there that is
the new
tube everybody it's a new sound
effect
we're testing on the no agenda
show man
in the morning to the troll
room at No
Agenda Stream calm I've been
looking at
the troll room in a very
unhelpful
no one cracking one-liners that
aren't
funny but ok thanks for being
there no
agenda stream calm where you
can always
witness our show live and also
a big in
the morning to once again
Darren O'Neill
who brought us the artwork for
episode
1090 a title that was truth
tell and I
remember all we chose this this
is the
it was so this is the logo that
was is
going to be used for Al Gore's
24 hours
of reality and he changed it
significantly to make it 3
hours of
reality the No Agenda show and
we felt
it was appropriate since the
yeah there
was actually a number of pieces
that
were usable I want to pick that
one
because it was the most it was
did some
of the other ones there's a
little tip
some of the other ones that are
sometimes you turn something
that maybe
even it's a better piece but
there's
something that's more timely in
other
words it can't be used again in
the
future right the one piece that
we
thought was also really good
could be
used
in another show where we have
no work
right right exactly
and also we wanted to remind
everybody
you want to not use us was that
was
something we needed to remind
everybody
wanna know yeah you can't put
our
pictures in the part we cuz the
reason
is because the first two or
three years
of art - at least the first two
years of
art every artwork had our
pictures it
was like the theme yeah
then we got one day we got sick
we got
really tired of it the same two
or three
images yeah yeah and so we said
no more
pictures of us period we're not
gonna do
that right and so we stopped so
if
there's a picture of either one
of us
could be one or the other
sometimes just
one easily gets overlooked
immediately
it just gets kicked so you're
losing out
you're wasting your time yeah
it can't
be done

your

follow-up email
was a call to action f cancer
karma from
my uncle Huey and others
fighting cancer
thank you for keeping my migdal
ax in
check
you've got karma talk about
that for a
second so about the newsletter
now I
subscribed through two different
accounts both at curry calm and
I got
all essentially four emails I
got both
of them twice but a lot of
people didn't
get the newsletter and it seems
that
things are going on and I
wonder if you
had any forensics here's what my
indicators aren't to actually
talk in
the MailChimp guys they think
they're
doesn't so every week I send a
newsletter out on Thursdays and
Saturdays our best are
Wednesdays and
Saturdays the day before the
show and
last Thursday's it wasn't really
concerned me because it was
only a 25
percent open rate which means
there was
neither but it wasn't any
different than
any of the other newsletters in
terms of
the headlines or the teas or
anything
else
do you typically expect a
higher open
rate I expect to be about 47
percent
which is extremely high in the
in the
news newsletter business is not
yes but
there's a lot of reasons for
that
I subscribe to it should be
higher I had
when I do my wine newsletter
occasionally the open rates
about 85%
hey how can I get on that list
I'm not
on that list
good job oh it makes me my
concern so I
send this thing out and
the first thing happens to me
when it
immediately goes out to
MailChimp
I get I don't I don't have the
number in
front of me but it's five
verses and
people who's ever been in the
mailing
this business have these he'd
have all
these tricks this is one of
mine okay I
get five or six immediate
bounce backs
from people with automated
messages
they just it's just crops up
immediately
bang bang bang bang bang bang
five hair
six and in every week and every
time I
sent it out I'll get back
either it's
either get to all those back
just
immediately or I'll get maybe
two of
them I wonder where they're the
four
went and but this time on
Thursday I got
none I got zero of these on the
Saturday
newsletter I got three or four
so it was
better but I didn't get to what
I'm
expecting to get so so the
people that
are supposed to send me the
automated
reply mm-hmm this is an
automated reply
it not at the desperate okay I
got shit
that's your trick that's a good
trick
yes yeah very good trick so
these
automated replies don't show up
at all
and their automated now we're
these
Gmail addresses are these Gmail
addresses primarily or what is
that well
I'm looking into all the
details so here
cuz it might you know Gmail
doesn't
necessarily mean us about Gmail
I mean I
think it is about Gmail I think
it is -
I think they keep changing
their their
their algorithms and so I think
now I'm
doing something I shouldn't be
doing
what a lot of people have
company names
but are actually Gmail right ah
yes
yeah Gmail for business well I
have two
thoughts about it now one is is
it
possible that because you there
was some
email virus going around
attached to
your domain name that is not
anyone's
fault necessarily or solvable
but a lot
of people receiving it probably
also in
Gmail that maybe Gmail when
something's
up with this so let's just route
everything this spam if it
comes from
that from anything related to
Dvorak org
it's always possible but
there's no for
one thing if they're looking at
divorce
out or they're not looking at
the sender
right I'm just saying I'm just
saying
that that that's a possibility
that
Google has it's our analyst I
might
accept that as a possibility
even though
there's no evidence of it
here's the
city is the most important
thing people
who use Gmail how long are you
going to
let Google determine what you
can see
and what you can do how long
until you
really are missing things that
may be
important that Google deemed not
important to you how long are
you gonna
stand for that for something is
I think
critical is email ask yourself
what the
hell are you doing why are you
letting
some company do this for free
because you know they're doing
it for
free there's a reason for it
and it's
probably not to help you out
think about it
it's my new sign-off think
about it
message from uncle Adam that's
right
that's right alright laughs one
of these
things I think it's a I think
they've
changed something I've got to
figure out
what it is because I here's a
give you a
Cheers a tip for you mailers
they've
always given me I give away cuz
it's the
nature of this show we give away
information that's good to know
if
you're doing a mailing for
example to a
group to a mailing list and you
you
you're trying everything you do
everything you can not to get
it bounced
back one of the things you want
to avoid
of course is things like using
all caps
in the subject line it's like
five
points against oh yeah
immediate Baba
yeah yeah and I've been using
all caps
in the in the sand line because
it seems
to be very effective that may
actually
be not working against me now
after it's
experiment some more with a be
test you
know those let me just stop you
there
interesting you say that
because I have
always found the all-caps you
know the
no agenda new whatever it is
it's all
caps and to me it always gets my
attention like oh shit there's
the
newsletter yeah so that's just
a small
trick you're using then that
may be
outlawed now maybe it's on the
front end
yeah but it's not you can't put
it on
the subject line cuz I know
that's out
right right so you got a minute
man two
things about subject line you
gotta know
one you can't use all caps and
keep the
exclamation parts to a minimum
oh wait
no exclamation mark ever no
that's an ad
work yeah alright uh it was one
of the
tip I had that I wanted that
was that
was only three and those three
you
promised five
I didn't that promise five
clips I think
he said five tips one five
email tips
okay here's the last one
this is the third one this is
the one I
want this is one I wants to
start with
four people doing emailing you
need to
know this alright
never this but I got burned on
this one
and it didn't take me long to
figure it
out never ever use the same
link in the
email note you know go here go
there go
here twice never use the same
one twice
and so to get around it for the
show
because you know I'm always pay
to be
around it give a randomizer
no you don't you can't create a
randomizer it's got to go to
PayPal Pet
Pals not gonna put up with that
oh you
just created second and third
links that
are just pretty much the same
thing
so the URL to donate to no
agenda is URL
a I want to say it again at the
end of
the note right I can't use that
exact
same URL I can't because that's
no
that's an automatic automatic
spam
buster yes way I'm done I'm
gonna happen
that mail is not going anywhere
all
right so what is so what is
that what do
you do I just create another
URL that's
concept it's different a
shortened URL
no you can't do that either
all shortened URLs are checked
well how
how are you making what what
you were le
I don't say here donation URL
donate to
the no agenda show here's the
you a gig
create button for me boom
here's your
URL I go back to Pay Pal I say
donate
for a good cause didn't no
agenda show
or just anything
they give me a different URL
every time
I create a new button hey John
thanks
that's what I was trying to
figure out I
you sound exasperated grey
button I
didn't know how what four
things I
thought I thought you were
sending
people to Dvorak org slash n a
differently now I understand
what you're
doing you're sending him
straight to
patient you have no alternative
than to
do it straight to PayPal
because you
don't have a different agenda
/ na I can only use that once
and I have
to be careful I don't put it in
there
twice well you know what this
this is an
Amazon giblet if I've ever
heard it Oh a
little email here do you have
time I
don't even know all of them and
there's
tons but in fact because I know
for a
fact from time way back when
when Matt
Cutts was still there and I was
getting
into trouble
ah yeah the cuts man I know
that they
changed these things and they
don't tell
anybody
well no so they of course they
changed
it and I don't know what it is
that's
what I'm doing wrong Wow okay
well good
on you I mean that's a that's a
tough
beat and I appreciate you dive
in so
deep and making it work and
let's see
how we do for for Thursday show
hopefully we can figure it out
yes it's a it's a personal
thing with me
about that whole thing good and
we got
our last associate executive
producer
who should be mentioned he's
been
sitting there on pins and
needles cos
but he's in Victoria BC one of
the
prettiest places in the world
so good
for him Charles McPherson 200
bucks
is dynamite everyone should
visit it
please accept my donation of
$200 I will
kindly refused one for one for
the
Canadian dollar as I know your
cost of
living is in American dollars
this is my
third blood that's sweet that
is nice
this is my third donation after
listening over 300 episodes or
900 hours
I've received much more value
than I
have given so here's a couple
of hundres
to help make up for it I've
recently
returned from a trip overseas
in Tibet
and Nepal no agenda is blocked
in China
Oh
yeah why why am I not surprised
no why is it locked cuz we're
evil
Westerners
but fortunately I was able to
access the
show in Nepal the Wi-Fi was
available
yet horrible while hiking in
the hana
annapurna circuit for three
weeks an
outdoorsman yeah our people get
around I
mean the Internet bandwidth was
very low
in remote areas as you would
expect band
pod bean was not able to
download new
episode horror pod Dinah's our
go to I
can't believe it
no agenda light to the rescue
oh yeah
this is great who that name
band that
created no agenda light dot
glump dot
net yes I'll give you that
again for
anyone who wants to know about
this it's
not doesn't show up in the
search
usually no agenda light Li te
dot glump
Glu MP net which enabled me to
download
the podcast over low bandwidth
yes a
great resource for any traveler
yes we knew about this we
haven't
mentioned him for a while well
you know
that's about me
just updated on my long days of
hiking
and relative isolation let me
tell you
Nepal is goat oriented
as I write this my smokin'-hot
spouse is
questioning why you donate to a
free
podcast for the value yes
thanks for all
you do Charles in Victoria BC
there's a
frugal Canadian woman you know
giving it
away well you know what what
what why
pay for a cow in the milk is
free you
know that
that the the low-bandwidth no
agenda
low-bandwidth started I think
that
started with Australia you know
in the
ten eleven years ago as the
bandwidth
was very expensive and it was
it was
really crappy bandwidth and was
hard I
think was the Australians who
really
couldn't couldn't get the show
in in
regular fidelity or a lot of
them and I
think most of the problem was
cost if I
recall well it's been going on
in the
background like everything else
on the
no agenda show we have a lot of
people
who are kind of doing their own
thing on
behalf of the show as listeners
yeah and
we appreciate that to say the
least
well thank you um yeah go clomp
net
thank you all very much for
supporting
the program this is episode ten
ninety
one of the No Agenda show you
are now
officially executive producers
and
associate executive producers
of the
show for this episode and you
can use
that credit wherever credits are
recognized and accepted and it
does seem
to be very useful for getting
gigs
through the LinkedIn so thank
you again
and a reminder that we have
another show
coming up on Thursday please
support us
at Vollrath org slash and we are
bringing you all the
deconstruction you
need all you have to do
go out a propagation formula is
this we
go out for your people in the
mouth
well in our never-ending
understanding
of how people work and what
makes them
tick whenever you say something
that is
strange people will email me and
whenever I say something that is
off-kilter or whatever people
email you
and even when I say hey email
John at
Dvorak org about something
somehow they
still email me
and this is regarding your
Australian
accent
ah the steak and shrimp
incident as it turns out not
only are
you really pronouncing it
horribly but
you shouldn't even be using
these words
alright Dvorak you want to
practice your
Australian accent I got a
little bit of
advice for you normally we have
five
vowels a e i/o and you but in
Australia
the more or less have two and
it's
i-i-i-i and boy talk like that
you'll
sound like an Aussie in no time
so that
is some advice from Matthew
Bigelow now
we move over to Martin from
Queensland
get I John Haley Hagin might
let me tell
you about the Aussie accent
because
black needs work firstly no
true blue
was he heads down the pub for a
steak
instrument we call them prawns
because
in Australia I brought us
almost as big
as your forearm in a shrimp is
little
tackers running amok around the
house
okay I'll translate so they
don't say
shrimp
they say prawns cuz prawns are
what you
eat in Australia and shrimp
apparently
note from a number of people
but if they
don't they don't eat shrimp
they don't
even need prawns but yet it's
the
outback restaurant an
australian themed
restaurant that sells steak and
shrimp
and is that restaurant in
Australia or
is that restaurant in America
this
reminds me of the first time I
went to
the UK in the 70s and I found
the
California burger and it was
like it was
the worst thing yeah there was
no
thicker than no relationship to
any sort
of normal hamburger so I got a
meatball
sandwich
would you like to hear the rest
of your
critique everyone knows I'm
very open to
this a spike is a steak you can
be
freaking huge or just a big
sucker
either way you're testing the
dunny the
next time so if you have the
missus down
the local through a meal or a
stubby or
two then you splash out you
might order
a kilo monster rump
with a prong topper Mike this
is called
a surf-and-turf ask for a stake
in a
strip and the Sheila behind the
bar or
drop you on your ass
quitters look at you fair
dinkum anyway
boys in the morning so I think
I think
the the clue here is or the
lesson is
you just asked for surf and
turf then
you're safe so nothing can go
wrong
but in case you don't know how
to do it
after this advice we always
have Chris
Wilson to remind us in song so
I've been
working on my Australian accent
I want
to hear it sure steak and
shrimp as far
as I've gotten
so John you want to speak some
Aussie so
I figured I'd write you this
song but
when you say steak and shrimp
to all the
sauces it sounds kinda wrong
because the
shrimp we call wrong and prawns
and
steak there are a swank also
simply
order of surf and turf
I do want to sound like a
douchebag yank
there you go you're Australian
lesson
courtesy of the producers of
the No
Agenda show yes all from
Australia yes
they would know I guess I heard
some
good voice-over talent in that
in there
that's uh that's dress Chris no
I mean
besides Chris
oh the from the guy from
Queensland
maybe yeah
you mean Martin Martin in
Queensland
maybe could be yeah
I didn't take notes but maybe
Martin and
Queensland's just sent me a
note will
give us something to do okay
good idea
I mean it was really thick it's
what I
like to think that's what she's
borderline not understandable
all right
so we had a big earthquake in
the last
guy got the report on it just
so we can
get a little so at least we
talked about
it yeah talk about big
earthquake good
evening I'm Jeff Glor stern
edition and
we are gonna begin tonight with
a major
earthquake that shook Alaska
today Jamie
yuccas is following all of us
the major
earthquake rocked buildings
like this
courthouse and seemed to go on
and on
roads collapsed all around
Anchorage
including this ramp near the
International Airport a lone
car was
left on an island of asphalt
just
walking up after this
earthquake full of
food flew off store shelves and
windows
were shattered
the quake struck just seven
miles
northwest of the downtown area
of
Alaska's largest city our
Anchorage
station KT VA took a big jolt
this is
what their news room looked
like after
the quake this is a camera over
here we
have this pile of broken
shattered glass
this is our conference room
it's our
break room on that we've got a
whole
bunch of food stuff this is a
TV in the
break room fell ripped off the
wall this
is gonna be a mess to clean up
students
don't under - at the Anchorage
Airport
how often if they had
earthquakes there
I don't really recall any well
they had
a whopper in 63-64 mmm that was
a nine
the biggest recorded on the
globe ever
and that was on the old system
on the
old scale the real Richter scale
now Rana may be a 50 the
momentum scale
which is purposely jacked up to
make
everything look worse in afar
and their
earthquakes have a lot of
uplift so you
end up with not just a bunch of
shaking
but all of a sudden of highway
will be
just buckles you know you'll be
going in
to be ten foot of dirt is
lifted up ten
feet now you know things that
get thrown
around it resists up but they
have bad
or earthquakes up there and
they have
stay at the yeah they just they
have
something like I'm not might be
wrong at
this number but it's not I was
looking
at this number I said this
doesn't make
sense
40,000 a year embers yeah did
you see
there was that there's a map
and it has
all the the seismic or a number
of
seismic sensors across the USA
and they
show the minute the the
earthquake hits
and then you see this wave
going all the
way through of course it hits
the
Pacific Northwest and
California and
then it I mean even Texas there
was I
mean it almost the East Coast
you could
there was some measurement of
it but as
a as a resident of the People's
Republic
of California alright are you
worried
that this could kick something
off in
your area and does does this
ever come
up no
it's pretty separated from all
the stuff
that we it's almost they have
their own
system of faults and this got
into
connection to anything in the
Ring of
Fire which is the earthquake
zones it
surrounds the Pacific Ocean
yeah that's
where everyone's gonna draw
relief it'll
s that's where everyone's gonna
die in
the Ring of Fire the Ring of
Fire that's
right but we all go down
together no not
anytime soon hopefully anyways
nobody to
get that out of the way we also
have
another thing going on with
Sandburg yes
this is this this story just
keeps
getting worse for Facebook and
they're
targeting her I think again I'm
gonna
just this is my version of
conspiracy
once the media got a clue that
Facebook
is their enemy and they
shouldn't be
saying hey like us on Facebook
pushing
people over toward Facebook
whether
they're getting the most learn
news from
Facebook and a lot of people
get their
news for Twitter they should be
getting
their news from the newspaper
or from
the news reports on television
it
shouldn't be getting that from
the
perspective of somebody who
works in
that business I would say if I
was in
the TV business I would think
to myself
why am i promoting Facebook we
want to
be providing the news we don't
want them
to be providing the news and
then taking
our advertising money forty
billion
dollars of it which is nothing
hello is
that so
so they've been going I think
they're
they've decided to all in
concert go
after Facebook now it looks
like now it
started to look a little fishy
but this
latest thing and the way and
the one
thing I think they're really
wanting to
do is getting rid of Sheryl
Sandberg she
may well be so important to the
company
that they she's got to go
because she's
well as far as I'm concerned I
think she
is the current version of the
company
when it comes to the
money-making side
of the house she it was her
strategy she
implemented it she she brought
in you
know the the connection with
the the the
credit card information of the
Brooke
the data brokers brought them
and she
really created the business
model of
lean lean in and look down your
blouses
what she
lean in yeah pay attention to
these so I
think they went they're really
going
after her but but if any of
this is true
she is a really a terrible
person but a
hard-ass this is a good example
the New
York Times is reporting
Facebook chief
operating officer Sheryl
Sandberg
requested research on
billionaire
liberal donor George Soros
after he made
public remarks critical of
Facebook in
January in which he said the
company was
a menace to society
Soros is an investor in
facebook the
company says the research into
Soros was
already underway at the time of
samberg's request earlier this
month
The Times revealed Facebook
hired
conservative opposition
research firm
definers public affairs to
investigate
in discredit critics of the
social
networking site including by
linking
some critics to Soros yes yeah
I think
there's something else going on
here and
this is a jew thing like just
don't no
other way to describe it and
this is why
you know Zuckerberg is under
fire
samberg's under fire because
that we
just went through this whole
thing with
the conspiracy theorists to
explain that
they're all anti-semites and
jew haters
because they're going after
Soros
there's entire countries I'm
looking at
you hungry entire countries
that hate
the Jews hate George Soros and
then you
can't sell it to yourself that
and Jews
running Facebook have done this
same
thing so I think it's above and
beyond
the business dealings it's
personal
well what you're suggesting is
the
jew-hating meme doesn't work if
it's
jews correct yeah
but so you got to get rid of
the Jews at
Facebook to make the meme work
to get
rid of Facebook Facebook is a
threat
it's not the only thing that's
a menace
to democracy but yeah it's
definitely
the front-runner or was the
front-runner
for sure for sure well I think
this is
getting really deep they've been
practically something up so
well they've
been trying to blame this on
but I think
her deputy or someone is trying
to take
the fall or jumping on the
grenade for
everybody but I don't think the
media is
having any bit of it um we need
we need
better reporting more incident
but you
know it this also reflects your
old
thesis and I've never been
against this
thesis of if the media builds
you up to
the same people that bring you
down and
they build her up with that
book and all
she's Grace she's on all the
talk shows
she was like at 60 minutes well
build
her up to be a superstar so the
the
theory I had heard yes I'll
reiterate
the theory that I have which
I've
witnessed myself is whenever
you use the
media for your own personal
gain or for
promotion or something that you
want to
accomplish when it's time and
you don't
know when it's gonna happen and
something will take place and
it always
comes back with equal force
sometimes it
may feel even stronger to you
and this
happens to everyone who uses
the media
for promotion everyone and in
little in
little increments that happens
to people
on Facebook the same way you
know I got
all these legs of these likes
everyone
loves me is fantastic you do
one little
thing wrong you get hammered
down into
depression you want to go kill
yourself
this is just the nature of
media and I
think that's exactly what we're
seeing
with neil degrasse tyson
ah segue hey finally did one
and this is
where you take over
well Neil deGrasse Tyson yeah I
don't
know if I have any clips on
this I
should do I I thought you had a
clip but
Neil deGrasse Tyson cracks me
up because
now all of a sudden he's uh a
rapist but
didn't we know this wasn't this
story
about him at UT in in the 80s
wasn't
this well known this is not a
new story
I mean we've I'm pretty sure
we've
talked about this
well if you look at old old
pictures of
him where he looks like you know
Superfly that said UT he does
look like
Superfly
he actually looks cool he
looked yeah
he's like he could fit right in
with the
Mod Squad you know he's got the
kind
that link haircut Mod Squad ish
that's
yeah yeah you look very cool
but there's but I guess there
are two or
three women have accused him of
harassment and wanted to accuse
him of
rape yeah and so now they're
everyone's
apparently these are not new
actually
accusations they've just been
swept
under the rug because these you
know
National Geographic and one of
the
network's you know the big yeah
hold on
a second it's Fox I think was
it was
oddly was Fox and national just
Fox own
National Geographic no they
don't I
don't think it was Fox was a fox
yeah that would this honesty I
have the
story here and I thought that
was odd to
this why why was Fox looking at
maybe
the Fox had that did his uh ran
his show
that clone of the old Carl
Sagan show I
think Fox that was the network
for that
let me see I have the report
never see
him on fox news no no no
absolutely not
I'm trying to I read that
somewhere
no well maybe not in this
report I read
it somewhere that it was it was
it was
also fox news but will a fox
though no
Jeff Fox Nations okay that
makes a fox
is not fun then I guess the
other
accusation is that then this
comes from
2009 that
dr. Caitlin Ahlers associate
professor
of physics and astronomy at
Bucknell
University said she was quote
felt up by
Tyson at an after-party
following a
meeting of the American
Astronomical
Society and then he actually
some photos
of her and him you know he's
looking at
how her tattoo and apparently
she he you
know moved his fingers up the
tattoo
which I don't know but
someone's out to
get into Shore it's sketchy you
know I
mean the rape allegation I
think that's
been out for a long time and I
don't
know it's just someone's out to
get him
but wahoo and why is unclear to
me but
I'm always thinking well if
they're
going to the you know the
National
Geographic Channel level and
Fox station
level does this have to do with
an
acquisition is there some other
business
dealing that could be in you
know could
be in trouble
here it is in exchange for in
exchange
for seven hundred and twenty
five
million dollars the National
Geographic
Society passed the troubled
magazine and
it's book map and other media
assets to
a partnership headed by 21st
Century Fox
the Murdoch controlled company
that owns
the 20th Century Fox movie
studio the
Fox Television Network and Fox
News
Channel's Thank You digi guru
and that
would make sense since this is
all in
play maybe it's to knock the
price down
a bit is the Disney deal all
done is
there still something that has
to happen
this is this has something to
do with
devaluing the asset to some
degree
that's what it feels like to me
yeah
well that's what you want to do
yeah
well that it's working I think
the
story's catching wells doesn't
help that
guy out but I mean oh who cares
you see
a douchebag or not that's the
question I
know you know I think is can we
lower
the price of the of the
acquisition
that's that's the question
going on here
please please degrasse tyson's
unimportant in this
and maybe he would they say
that though
so the the Miami Herald is
reporting on
the Jeffrey Epstein story
continues it's
a multi-part I didn't realize
that keep
publishing keep publishing new
video
yeah of these girls seems into
going
after Bill Clinton more than
anything
yeah at first I thought this is
clearly
gonna go after who was the guy
Acosta
who works at where does he work
in the
trompe Acosta yeah yes the
sports guy he
works and the he's in the Trump
administration he's in some
forget which
which department he's it and
he's the
guy that you know basically
helped
Epstein get this really reduced
sentence
but then they pull in and this
was the
best Alan Dershowitz who's in
in in the
in the filings of whatever
lawsuits are
coming out or whatever expose
is taking
place before our eyes one of
these girls
claims she had sex with Alan
Dershowitz
six times
either on Lolita Express or his
Island
dude I mean yeah that's mr.
dersh which
you're having sex with oh
really that's
been unless you want to do Sam
I'm
number five Health and Human
Services
that's a costs really like me
but that's
sick man I mean alan dershowitz
so this
guy and then bill clinton but
trump was
also on the plane he's in the
walls
plane once and there's no
evidence he
ever hung out at the island
like get
Clinton did true and also but
but what's
interesting is that there's no
mention
of Trump in this expose at all
ever
anywhere and it's so easy to
admit the
Trump bring him some things dis
I think
it would discredit the report
yes it was
real reporting is what you're
saying
yes which is weird this has to
be a hit
I would have to say then if
Dershowitz
who like
it's to me why do I care what
who
Dershowitz what he's up to in
his spare
time he has to be a hit piece I
think
ever since Dershowitz turned
into a
trump apologist that's where
the hit
piece comes in yeah yeah I
think that
there say okay well Allen we've
been
counting on you to be to be
just to
progress because he's always
been a
progressive like hyper liberal
progressive with really strong
legal
reasons for taking his positions
now he's state he's doing the
same thing
but he's on Trump's side hmm no
no no
this isn't gonna fly let's get
it you
know what he seems like the
obvious one
absolutely he also defended
Epstein in
the initial 2008 trial I think
it is and
help get him the the fantastic
deal of
was it was possible that all he
was is a
lawyer going back and forth
with Epstein
never took part with anything
and they
just found one girl who'd say
anything
and there are of course of
course of
course
but either way then it's I mean
the six
times thing is the thing
against me is I
would really get a notch on
your belt is
six times for Dershowitz I
don't even
think these girls not to demean
them but
I don't think any of them knows
- who
the hell door sure wits is let
alone
keeping count right come on 14
13 14 15
year old you know and some well
they're
also Jesus these accounts are
coming ten
years later so now this one's
talking
years later yeah they're
talking about
it now so this is a don't
believe I'm
just not buying it I just think
that the
you can't remember from 10
years ago and
then to remember the exact
number of
times or even remember anything
cuz
you're probably in a drugged
stupor
mmm-hmm
well remember you had sex with
Alan
Dershowitz six times ten years
ago when
you were a drug the stupid with
anybody
why are you why you you've
really gone
hard and heavy on this I got it
well I'm
going cuz I just think this is
a setup
to get durscher wishes doesn't
matter
that's I agree I don't care
good break
down a little just like wow
okay I know
I was never invited to the
island good
that was gonna be mine that was
gonna be
my next question
thank goodness well while we're
on the
promotion or demotion of public
figures
we have very poor showing at
the Bill
and Hillary show as they are
going
around the nation on there's
there's I
think it's 13 city tour and the
first
stop they had or they had a
like a was
it like a 15,000 seater and
they only
had three and a half thousand
people in
the arena which is just never
good no
matter what kind of show it is
but NPR
had an interesting interesting
piece
that this tour the Bill and
Hillary tour
as well as Michelle Obama's
tour are
being organized by the same
outfit can
you wager a guess as to who is
managing
these tours
one of the world wide wrestling
that's
one of the big Toros close
close close
one of those types of guys one
of those
big entertainment companies
it's Live Nation the guys who
when I was
gonna guess yeah that's a big
change
this used to be done by you
know varied
I think Trump still organizes
his own
but yeah this is typically done
by book
agents or yeah but ths loose
live agent
that live nation to have them
do a
nation's a huge operation join
just one
concert promoters in the
country yes I
mean if you want jay-z and you
want to
yeah what's her name Beyonce
Beyonce
thank you Rihanna join
President Bill
Clinton and they got all the
cool
commercials too and former
Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton in
an
up-close and one-of-a-kind
conversation
discussing the important
moments in
modern history
today John can you speak that
low only
in the morning maybe give us
some more
details about the Clinton
events it
sounds by that voice like
they'd be very
expensive they can be very
expensive
it's a 13 city tour mostly in
friendly
territory live nation says it's
on stage
conversations with the two
sharing
stories and inspiring anecdotes
4:59 to
as high as two thousand dollars
you can
participate so that's even more
than
Taylor Swift can be yeah the VIP
packages are pretty expensive
and the
VIP packages are off the ha
rich I
there's not merchandise for the
Clintons
they're not out there selling
Oscar or a
charity but wait for it there's
a kicker
to this so they got no mercy
they're
selling themselves basically I
mean Bill
Clinton had that book with James
Patterson but that's kind of
old news
you know what they're doing is
promoting
themselves to greater or lesser
degree
that they haven't been selling
out the
the venues but they've been
getting
reasonable crowds how about
Michelle
Obama Michelle Obama is a total
rock
star she's on a ten-city tour
that that
is taking her all over the
country and
she's got she's got all kinds
of sponsorships she's got
merchandise
she's got to find your flame
and keep it
lit candle for $35 I I mean
this is
basically a celebrity
entertainment or
as much as it is a book tour is
the
money generated any of it going
to
charity or to Live Nation and
the
speaker's the Live Nation says
10
percent of ticket sales are
going to
community groups in the cities
that
Michelle Obama is appearing in
they're
also giving tickets out to
those groups
some free tickets out to those
groups so
that those people can
experience the
evening as well how does it
benefit
Michelle Obama and the Clintons
to have
Live Nation promoting the tour
because
it cost money to pay Live Nation
obviously Live Nation gets part
of the
of the revenue but I you know
they are
looking at themselves as able
to sell
out big venues and if you go
into a big
venue you need somebody who can
handle
the logistics of that and Live
Nation is
the one that does that kind of
promotion
how about Michelle would the
merch with
the key was it to keep it lit
candle
yeah she's doing it right man
that's
perfect two slackers they don't
know
what is what's going on they're
over the
hill
you know nobody wants to see
bill in
this condition he is he looks
like he's
a half-dead and Hilary's
coughing again
coughing and she's got the same
she
blaming Trump for everything
not funny
that Kara Swisher is part of it
maybe
that would help
yeah well that yeah then they
know but
she does all that stuff for free
well that's her mistake right
there
buddy yeah duh
you think yeah yeah but I love
that
Michelle Obama is just
completely
nailing it
I wonder what death well daddy
I'm gonna
give you a clip of the day
because I
didn't know that looked any of
this was
going on like that thank you
they
weren't selling out the venue's
that the
Clinton thing I didn't know
anything
about Michelle and that Live
Nation
that's very interesting they
cool I got
a note from Sean C in Las Vegas
Adam and
John story you discussed about
parents
who are upset that they cannot
join
their kids at school lunch
reminded me
of her personal experience with
this at
my daughter's elementary school
for a
few years ago you and I both
had not
heard of that this was a thing
John and
that apparently today's
helicopter and
bulldozer parents go to the
lunch room
where their kids are which
quite rightly
you remarked both you and I
would have
found
extremely embarrassing as kids
and today
that just needs to be normal
it's a
little worse than we even
realize no Dez
Shawn says yes my daughter won
some
contests in her class where a
parent
could join her for lunch at her
school
my thoughts were along the
lines of JC
DS where I would have been
mortified as
a child to have one of my
parents show
up but my daughter really
wanted me to
come to school for lunch so I
did when I
got to the school I saw three
to four
other parents in the lunchroom
and asked
my daughter if they won the
same contest
my daughter said no no they're
here
almost every day for lunch in
one part
of the lunch room there were
two parents
with two giant pizzas handing
out slices
to some kids I asked my
daughter if that
was normal she said yeah their
parents
show up once a week and bring
pizza for
him and his friends I asked to
him and
his friends my daughter said
yeah if
you're nice to him he might
invite you
over to have pizza when his
parents come
in for lunch this just totally
blew my
mind that this was happening
and that
the school allowed it my
daughter is now
a middle school and thankfully
this
school doesn't allow any
parents in
lunchroom so instead some
parents
started bringing special
lunches from
the fast food places and even
some fancy
places and dropping them off at
the
school's front office at
lunchtime to
have them delivered to their
kids the
special lunch drop-offs got so
bad last
year the principal finally sent
home a
letter saying that they will no
longer
accept non-medical necessary
items being
dropped off at the front office
the
letter stated that in the
previous year
parents had dropped off 3,600
non
necessary items and lunches at
the front
office to be delivered to their
kids
whoa this kind of shows it
doesn't it
well I think what's interesting
is that
I thought the helicopter parent
phenomenon was from like a
couple of
decades ago and this is worse
it's much
worse
I think it's born out of some
guilt or
something and it's clearly my
generation
a little bit younger people are
not
thirty five forty I would say
well or no
where'd you get little younger
probably
a little it would be it would
be nice to
have in fact our letter writer
we should
ask him what his age is because
he will
be in the best right in the
middle of
that Gershon seat will let us
know
so let's but isn't it did he not
concerning I mean this kind of
shows you
but what's wrong what happened
to four
cents for milk and a peanut
butter and
jelly sandwich here see you
after school
I'm about the peanut Billa
peanut butter
and jelly we used to have
pretty good
lunches when I was a kid no I'm
talking
about the lunch my mom would
make oh oh
yeah we also sometimes did make
a nice
sandwich yeah I didn't hey I
didn't get
a school lunch I got four cents
for milk
kid just I was just thinking
about like
damn I was deprived of school
won
cheese's pizza yeah so there's
this
story going around and this is
a Texas
story all right
this is a Texas story about
there's a couple of things
going on that
I got three clips that relate
to this
this is the Texas story about
the kid
James who whose mom insisted he
become a
girl and he calls him Luna and
he acts
like a girl and dresses like a
girl
around her they got divorced
the parents
got divorced for obvious
reasons the boy
is James with the dad and Luna
with the
mom who insists that he'd be
and she's
suing for custody and the state
of Texas
is kind of siding with her and
it's
possible that the guys gonna
lose the
kid to the mom and where in
Texas is
this dude do you know where in
Texas I
don't have the backup I'll look
it up
well you play the clip but this
is a
play the gender dysphoria Luna
and James
this is a psych college or a
person
who's the head of the American
pediatric
since she's discussing the
details and
trying to explain what might be
going on
doctor cristela first your
observations
about James and is wanting to
be Luna
with his mother and James with
his dad
is this gender dysphoria and
can a
six-year-old struggle with this
six-year-old child can
certainly have
gender dysphoria
but James's case does not
really fit
that definition a young child
who has
gender dysphoria persistently
and
consistently will insist they
are not
their biological sex but in
this case
James is quite happy being a
boy with
his father and seems to behave
and act
like a girl with his mother so
there's
some red flags there how does
this
differ from children this age
simply
being curious about gender
there's some
overlap but generally a child
with true
gender dysphoria is so upset so
emotionally upset by their
biological
sex that they will reach the
point where
they insist it's not who they
are so
where is the child who's just
experimenting and they may try
out
and sex stereotyped playing or
or
cross-dressing things like this
but it's
it's not a persistent or
consistent
habit what do you think will be
the best
thing for James in this
situation the
ideal approach here should be
with a
therapist who will objectively
look at
James and the very difficult
situation
they're in this is a divorce
situation
and basically assess what's
different
about when James is with mom
and with
James with dad there are cases
now I
don't obviously I don't know
these
parents personally but there is
definitely the case in which
some
mothers in particular can
experience
gender mourning moms who so
desperately
wanted a girl but never gave
birth to a
daughter can enter a deep
depression and
that depression is only lifted
when one
of their sons acts in an
effeminate way
or allows the mom to dress them
as a
girl so there are cases like
this in the
literature wow this is all Ron
psychosis
is very interesting case
apparently the dads living in
Carrollton
and the mom moved to Dallas hmm
okay so
it's right in the middle of
this Texas
proper yeah meanwhile another
secondary
thing that's going on I'm gonna
clip to
the good skip to this this is
uh the
trend of some parents to allow
the bit
not to call their kids
boy or girl or let anybody know
about
even after they're born and
they're
referred to as they B's yeah I
think we
talked about this the babies
but we
didn't have it right this was
on Tucker
Carlson I hate to play this
good but I I
want to play it then I can get
back to
that PD at pediatrician after
this clip
plays this is Tucker of course
he just
made light of this whole thing
thinks
it's idiotic but play the
baby's clip
but doesn't this mean if you're
gonna
raise a baby how would you be
able to
change your child's diaper
because the
second you change the diaper of
course
you'd no longer be able to
pretend that
there was a question about
whether this
was a boy or girl you would
know about
pretending the pillow this is
his
liberal Sherpa girl which is
starting to
become an unfunny bit I think
definitely
knows the gender it's about not
necessarily labeling the baby
it's about
allowing the baby to decide
what gender
that baby wants to be when that
baby can
decide which is around four
years old so
from zero to four the baby will
not be
labeled the labeling theory
will not
apply from zero to four years
old the
baby will be a baby neither a
boy nor
girl whatever gender that baby
what
other what other profound life
decisions
do we think people are be
making at the
age of four are there any
others whether
you get a tattoo whether to get
married
and allistic in the military
voting
drinking vodka smoking Marlboro
Reds is
there anything else that we
think
four-year-olds are ready to
decide this
isn't actually a profound life
decision
I mean biologically there's
nothing
really going on from zero to
four in
areas that affects the person's
life
biologically the experts say
that boys
and girls all genders are alike
the boys
brain the male brain might be a
little
larger the female's language
might be a
little bit more advanced but
John isn't
that the goes on but isn't that
the
liberal Sherpa girl who does
that cuz I
I find that to be a very
disingenuous
bit they do but the point is no
the
point is about the babies
yeah now the thing that gets me
about
this is the term baby yes uh-huh
now why do why do I find that
peculiar
because this reminds me of that
story
I've told on the show over and
over
again about the liberal copy
editors at
PC World magazine who didn't
like a
person using the word
representative and
preferred they used a word
spokesperson
mm-hmm because and and the
rationale was
spokesperson is not a sexist
and representative voice
representative
is he said well wait a minute
representative isn't sex it's
got no
nothing there's no indication of
anything is just representative
and she
said to him oh yes that's true
but we
want to make it clear that
people note
that spokesperson is is makes
it clear
that we're not sexist
representative it just doesn't
have it
doesn't mean any oh I see so
it's
actually you need to virtue
signal in
everything you say to not only
have a
politically correct word but to
make
sure everybody knows you're
politically
correct exactly okay that's
exactly
right and it is virtue
signaling and
that's what babies is because
what is a
baby it could be anything a boy
girl
hermaphrodite for all you know
it's a
baby why do you have to use the
word
baby your point being you could
just say
baby yes yes no I totally agree
with you
and you know when you think
about it
just in simple terms like that
yeah
makes sense why don't you just
call it a
baby which is what it's been
called for
a while now but to virt you
signal yeah
that's it
it's kind of sick that's
totally sick
the woman from the pediatrics
asking
about this situation but the
this
gender-bending pre-adolescent
gender-bending this is gender
truth
commentary what are your
thoughts on
allowing children to choose
their gender
it's outrageous
look we did our sex is
determined at
conception by our genetics by
our DNA
when children are born we as
physicians
recognize the sex that they are
by their
physical bodies and that's what
children
need to be taught you know it
some
people most of us use sex and
gender
interchangeably unfortunately
we're now
in a culture that is heavily
dominated
by transgender activists who are
teaching children as young as
preschool
that sex and gender are two
different
things
and that they can be at odds
with one
another so as parents and honest
physicians we have to teach our
kids the
truth people have a biological
sex
determined at conception
and that never changes its with
you for
your whole life hmm
dr. Michelle cartel Oh with the
American
College of pediatricians thank
you so
much for your insight yes this
is a real
problem and it's going to end I
blame
Facebook by the way I blame the
internet
in general but I think Facebook
creates
these groups where people get
into this
circular just thing and just
keep going
around and around and around
and that's
where the virtuous signaling
takes place
and it's all happening because
of the
internet somehow
I think you're absolutely
correct I've
been I've the Internet is
ruining us yes
that's the real menace to
democracy not
yes book yes it is the Internet
in
general because we as humanoid
some
reptile we still have tail
bones we have
no idea how to handle what
people
actually are we're just
learning now
with what people are how they
how they
interact with one another and
how
incredibly easy it is to
manipulate
people and get them on your
side for
anything
and I and I think that I have
although I
am right on the cusp of being a
part of
the problem I think I
definitely screwed
up with my kid in some areas
which is
totally relatable to my
generation I
think because I didn't go to
college but
I didn't get the programming I
lucked
out
well I got the programming cuz
I went to
University of
california-berkeley
hey but it was early it was
early days
you know this is pre internet
you didn't
get the internet program not
convinced
to that hmm okay well maybe it
was
experimental period I'm not
sure you
seem to be doing okay though
well I can't snap out of it I
was at
your hood unreconstructed
hippie is the
guy who didn't snap but most of
the guys
who went to these well actually
most of
them my generation has a lot of
people
I'm like them every time I run
into
people from my high school
class and
others and people that went to
this
colleges during my era I find
it very
interesting you're gonna find
this weird
I'm at I'm the optimistic one I
don't
find they're depressed they're
depressed
and negative yeah the negative
the
negativity of this group
yeah the all baby boomers is
it's like
it takes me back I go my god I
hope I
don't sound like this well you
know they
do call you the cranky geek and
the
buzzkill yeah and I compare
myself to
the true models of this and I
don't even
hold the candle to these people
wow if
this is like your Lib Joe's - I
guess
they also have the same
depressed
feeling and their negative and
I think so yeah okay so well I
know that
the programming I got was
pre-internet
but it was definitely you know
different
what would have been that
Amsterdam
programming totally the
amsterdam
programming absolutely look at
him now
yeah I got out I got out in
time I'm
actually just a lucky sumbitch
aren't I
I'm just we were really lucky
I'm gonna
show my food by donation to no
agenda
imagine all the people who
could do with
us oh yeah
let me read this first one
continue in
the future funk at the top of
the list
150 bucks let me let me just
address sir
sir it's actually sir p-funk
and this is
weird
says puff I know it does yes
last night
at the memorial man Angie's a
celebration of life there was
the no
agenda listener and Brian's
first name
was Brian I can say that and
maybe I
misunderstood but what I
thought is he
told me that he had been trying
he'd
been hit in the mouth by Sir
p-funk and
Sir p-funk always gets a kick
out of the
fact that we say pas funk which
is
apparently incorrect it's ER
p-funk and
that sir p-funk is also the
person who
clipped the orange man bad
jingle orange
man bad and he would love
getting a
credit for it and I'm like oh
sure
that's no problem oh I'll do
that
tomorrow that's that's really
nice but
now sir p-funk donates and says
hey Adam

misunderstand it

split
personality is it two guys well
you said
what is his name Brian D here's
the note
from p-funk

hanging

and I
actually got a nice note from
producer
Robert and we becomes
interesting to me
how we see knights and dames or
just
producers in general trying to
hit their
spouse in the mouth and get
them to
listen to the show and this one
stuck
out greetings gents I finally
hit my
wife in the proverbial mouth
during a
long holiday road trip at the
end of the
podcast my wife said wow it's
all become
very clear now
now Robert of course thinking
that
though your words enlightened
her
there'll be us to the
manipulation and
general bullcrap of the world
inquired
as to what she found most
interesting
than here's what she said well I
received a call this week from
the boys
elementary school principal he
had
concerns about
the boys running around the
playground D
douching and knighting kids who
gave
them dollars to do so on the
playground
do you think that's true what
do you
think that ruching and
knighting kids
who gave them their milk money
apparently hopefully this is
just a joke
I think the wife has got a
creative idea
there but it's not there's no
way going
on any school I need to know
for sure
this is fantastic
well yes jobs jobs and jobs
let's vote
for job
karma
today is the 2nd of December
2018 as we
wind down the year we have three
birthdays for today on a list
Kevin

of course from all the staff and
management at the best podcast

knighting and if it's if it's
wrong and
we may have to do a black
daming you
never know what'll happen um I
had my
travel sort how about yours
that's what
we've decided to collect since
we
couldn't find your email but we
are very
proud to thank you for your
support of
the show and the amount of
$1,000 or
more and pronounce the Kate sir
Kim

round table
go to no agenda nation.com
slash rings
and Eric the shill will help
you out and
you should give him your
measurements
for your ring we'll get that
off to you
as soon as possible and this is
all part
of our value for value model
that seems
to be working good enough for
us since
you know you can't really
monetize the
network and we're seeing that
now with
the big article in The Wall
Street
Journal about HuffPo of Poe you
know
this all these things were
purchased by
Verizon AOL and HuffPo and I
was it
Engadget and they they those
it's 7
billion dollars they spent on
this and
it seems like they can't really
make the
advertising work and now
they're trying
to do subscriptions for stuff
well good
luck with that yeah just going
to fail
so poorly it's gonna fail big
ly I mean
because that's it's not going
to work
it's
not going to work
no people don't want to
subscribe to
anything I mean we have our
subscribers
it's a voluntary system which
is really
sustaining donations not a true
subscription right
it's a sustaining donations and
there's
a we have a moderate number and
I would
say moderate is not a lot but
we do have
a lot we do have a lot of $5
and 3333
yeah sustaining donations we do
but it's
not enough to you know if it
wasn't for
the big donors and all the
random
donations we would really would
not be
enough to sustain the show
don't insult
I'm not just waiting anybody
cuz I think
it's a good baseline that you
can add on
to but it's not and I see these
other
people try it you can you know
we'll
just keep doing the show if you
give us
a one dollar a month is all we
asked you
pin we already saw that that
doesn't
worth started doing this show
he has
some blow we had $2 a month and
think
was ours you know I think yeah
was it
was obviously wasn't gonna work
you know
what's interesting we're
talking about
the internet and how we get
canceled
automatically that Canada we're
taking
what what has happened is
people have
taken their old world thinking
pre
internet and have just kind of
you know
transposed that onto the
internet world
and the thinking that people
had what
happened in the people the
thinking that
people would give you money
random
amount based upon what they
value your
product at is seen as nutjob
your are
you crazy is that what a head
shake are
these morons but little did we
know that
once you do that the guy that
you were
previously or gal we're really
asking
for $1 to chip in you say what
was it
worth to what was worth $5 oh I
didn't
know that and people really
want to do
it it's a it's a sustaining
model for
the future
now does it keep you on your
toes
because you and I don't have a
regular
income of course it does every
single
time I sit down to prep and do
this show
I'm thinking about I got to do
the best
thing I can do I got nothing
else to I
have nothing else to go on I
have to do
the best because you know I
can't get
fired by any organization
people just
stop sending money if they find
no value
in the product it's real simple
but for
some reason people can't get
over that
hump of seeing that the human
beings are
not just drone
money payers you know a little
piggy
bank you can you can be
surprised what
people want and what they will
do
well you can't use the old
models in the
old models before the internet
included
which is what the newspapers
had nothing
but struggled with as you can't
with a
newspaper or magazine when I
was writing
for PC Magazine they'd have 500
600 page
issues that were loaded with
advertising
because the whole thing was
like a you
know it's like a a world in
itself and
those ads were selling for 20
30 40 50
thousand dollars and they had
they're
making millions and millions of
dollars
a year you know which was great
because
you get to travel a lot and
there's a
lot of things you could do with
that
money but to make the magazine
better
but when you didn't go to
online it's
not a little world anymore it's
a page
one lone page and maybe you go
to
another page as something
interests you
but you're not opening a
magazine then
you're not going through it the
whole
thing is so different you can't
make
that kind of money no well
that's also
the realization is that you
know the the
idea of hey I'm a radio guy
doing a
podcast I'll make a million
dollars a
year that's just not gonna
happen
but turns out I can pay rent
could eat
and so you're I think we get
exactly
what we deserve and it's that's
okay
that's the model that's the
postmodern
media model if you don't mind
me patting
ourselves on the back for it no
it's
alright we don't know we've
done well
enough to keep doing it so I
have I want
to go back to like there's this
clip
here and I thought we'd played
but this
is Janice Atkinson clip is one
you
played I have another just I
didn't hate
to revisit but I'm gonna
revisit this
this is because I don't know
what this
on this clip it's probably the
same clip
it's probably the same clip no
no the
Janice hath got no because I
have the
Janice Atkinson clip okay well
what this
oddballs speech about migration
compact
2025 is ah is the is different
that's
what it is okay listen vote
okay the EU
and across the developed world
so it's
in the time is exactly the same
so I
flipped it twice and you just
named it
differently
it was that was bad okay well
you yes I
do have an oddball report on
something
just as a Democracy Now story
it's one
of those baffling stories say
why is
this a story yes I never heard
of these
companies I don't know anything
about it
is this something this is virtue
signaling or is this some code
I don't
know what it is but this is the
oddball
report on Mike digital the
digital news
publisher mike has laid off
most of its
staff after being acquired by
bustled
digital group the company which
positioned itself as a video
driven
media outlet for Millennials
has been
steadily losing viewers over
the past
year the company employed
around a
hundred people all right what
did they
what did they publish tell me
about Mike
ma'am I see I don't know this
is a
publication I've never heard of
it
either and why is this a news
story I
don't know
then we're doing fine over here
at
democracy now I mean what else
could it
be I have no idea I finally be
the
screwiest story they've never
or that
they've done probably in the
last few
months just an an on story it's
a bubble
media some of but somebody
bought him
out I've never heard of them
either but
commit there's lots of little
companies
that are in this you know that
are
trying to make it living all
right but
the first thing I thought was
oh neener
neener
look this millennial stuff
ain't working
we're still good with our
geriatric ads
that's the first thing that
came to my
mind for democracy now at least
well
they don't have it far as I can
tell any
advertising but they don't they
don't
have sponsorship not that I
know of
these are on PBS I've never
seen an ad
ever I think they try it
doesn't air on
PBS
it airs on PBS and free speech
TV yeah
but on PBS they have ads
I don't know what Democracy Now
yeah
they do have but that's just
for the
network I don't know if they
individual
I don't know
I demand an investor have a
huge list of
donors that never think I
demand an
investigation into this I just
do credit
roll for the donors I want to
know who
Mike is and I want Mike Dodd I
want to
get right now in the bottom of
this I'll
go again try to save us in the
upcoming
days December 3rd through 4th
will be
the 24 hours of reality and
this will be
about the reality of climate
change how
we're all going to die this is
well I
have a little intro from NPR Al
Gore was
kind enough to drop by and to
tell us
and when I say tell I mean tell
us
because what if what have we
learned
Lenny chuckles that's his tell
next week
former Vice President Al Gore's
climate
reality project will broadcast
a 24-hour
streaming video special calling
attention to the public health
impacts
of climate change around the
world in
the decades since Gore started
sounding
the alarm about manmade global
warming
global greenhouse gas emissions
have
continued to grow despite
warnings from
reports like last week's
National
Climate Assessment well Al Gore
joins us
now from New York Vice
President Gore
thanks for joining us welcome
to here
and now well thank you very
much Jeremy
it's my pleasure so this is
going to be
the 8th annual 24 hours of
reality
broadcast do you feel like as a
planet
we've made a lot of progress
since you
started doing this eight years
ago are
we basically in the same
position or
worse well we have made a lot of
progress one has to add
unfortunately
that the climate crisis is still
worsening at a faster rate than
our
progress and developing we love
the
towel so what was the lie here
that it's
going at a faster rate is that
the lie
that he just told ourselves
well we have
made a lot
progress one has to add
unfortunately
that the climate crisis is still
worsening at a faster rate than
our
progress in developing
solutions but
we're gaining momentum and as a
as the
late economist Rudy Dorn Bush
once said
things take longer to happen
than you
think they will and then they
happen
faster than you thought they
could and
we're seeing exponential change
now in
renewable electricity generation
electric vehicles and what we
really
need is our changes in policy to
accelerate these positive
developments
that have begun right so it's
all about
policy to accelerate everything
positive
that has been done which is
pretty much
solar and a wind power and I
think if we
are going to watch this 24
hours of
reality and I will definitely
check in
it will probably be a lot like
this
second segment so then how big
of a
problem is it that the
President of the
United States says that he is
not a
believer in manmade global
warming well
it's certainly a problem when
he tries
to dismantle the clean power
plan and
the Auto mileage improvements
and
although I think Volkswagen did
just
fine enough on those thank you
very much
Nate the study of particulate
pollution
which is a deadly health threat
connected to the pollution that
is
generated along with global
warming
pollution okay hold on a second
particulate pollution global
warming
pollution this is these are
terms that
are I don't know if we've heard
them
exactly like this but certainly
not all
in a row from Al Gore remember
that the
the basic premise is too much
co2 carbon
dioxide now we have particulate
pollution and and global warming
pollution John help me out
sorry PowerPoint it's this is
really
egregious what he's doing here
he's just
just spooning up all kinds of
terms Nazi
Auto mileage improvements and
eliminates
the the study of particulate
pollution
which is a deadly health threat
connected to the pollution that
is
generated along with global
warming
pollution and it's a problem
when he
says to the rest of the world
he wants
the u.s. to pull out of the
Paris
agreement but there is a
another dynamic
underway Donald J Trump is now
the face
of climate denial his is the
voice of
climate denial and for the
minority in
the country that still invests
their
their hopes and faith and trust
in
Donald Trump they're not likely
to be a
part of the solution to the
climate
crisis for some time yet anyway
but for
the two-thirds and more who are
signaling that they have had
enough of
Donald Trump I think it is
making it
easier for people who associate
him with
a nonsensical views that he
articulates
to re-examine the facts and to
say as
some conservative colonists
have done
recently whoa wait a minute
we've taken
another look at this climate
crisis and
it's a it's an existential
threat we've
got to do something about it so
I'm
hopeful that the Trump years
will be
over sooner rather than later
at the
very least that he will not
have a
second term and that the
groundwork will
have been laid for a dramatic
improvement in our policies to
accelerate progress no way to
go out
well done so I like this I like
the idea
that because
he certainly has convinced most
of the
world certainly also
conservative
journalists that Trump is nuts
that
they're now relooking at the
information
back in to check it and see
what's going
on and let's just wind it up
with the
third well before you go too
far away
from that I do have my
Australian
climate change protests can I
play the
last Gore clip and then we'll
do you
play it whenever you want I
just want to
make sure you don't ignore it
oh well
shoot let's let's interrupt it
right now
no I'm saying that because
you're about
to end the show no your button
was move
your hand was slowed I can hear
it no I
have one more outgoing but
we're getting
momentum and we're getting
close closer
and closer to one of these
political
tipping points ah public
opinion changes
significant well we saw that in
the
civil rights movement earlier
the
women's suffrage movement in
recent
years and the fight for gay and
lesbian
rights and when these this is
fantastic
so he's equated this to these
other big
fights we've had that we all
have
aggreement on parent moral
issues are
revealed to be a binary choice
between
what's right and what's wrong
public opinion can shift pretty
quickly
and in this case mother nature
is
speaking up pretty powerfully
with the
tragic fires in California only
the ones
earlier this is late in
November but all
that mother nature started the
fires so
earlier in the year hurricane
Florence
and the Carolinas hurricane I
thought it
was and it was explained to me
many
times it was started by a
campfire
on campfire road what is it its
climate
change that's the problem
though pretty
powerfully with the tragic
fires in
California not only the ones
earlier
this late in November but also
earlier
in the year
hurricane Florence and the
Carolinas
hurricane Michael a year ago
hurricane
Harvey the the list of
catastrophes that
are clearly linked to climate
and where
alignment in the mind minds of
the
public are persuading more
people than
any of us who are advocates for
solving
the climate crisis could could
hope to
do you know yeah I'm always for
one
thing I guess the organs we
have to
revisit some of the Climategate
mmm
stuff you know which really
took it off
the track right away where
these guys
are faking their numbers that
didn't
visit to how computer
simulations work
and how they can't be trusted
under any
circumstances the model now the
mall
bring that up too much or any
of these
things that are kind of
contrary or the
fact that there's like 30,000
scientists
signed a note about this being
questionable and should be
thought about
definitely or the or forcing
certain
networks like PBS to not take
anybody on
as an expert or that might have
some
other opinion or the guys who
have
testified before Congress and
showing
that one thing that you think
is going
on is not going on this just
ignore
every one of those things and
just
listen to Al Gore who's not a
scientist
by any means and it's just to
me I think
there's some sort of a test
going on
of intelligence y'all ability
yeah if we
can sell the public on this and
so they
go all in and they screw
themselves by
you know removing I mean that's
with
like what's going on in France
shutting
down those nuclear reactions
that is
crazy that's the craziest thing
ever
France it's like you know okay
did you
just a stray of little bit off
topic and
I will play your Australian
clip the the
Germans apparently and I think
I have a
clip of it yes the German
Finance
Minister Olaf Olaf Schultz
proposed that
France give up its permanent
seat on the
Security Council at the United
Nations
this is an absolutely
scandalous idea
for the French mission here at
the
United Nations although the
French
mission doesn't want to comment
on the
record
Jezza a whore the former UN
Ambassador
of French ambassador to the UN
and
current French ambassador to
the United
States has tweeted about this
though and
said that it's actually legally
impossible because it would run
counter
to the very Charter for the
United
Nations and so changing it
would be
politically impossible so that
is on the
record but I can tell you that
the
French mission here finds this
a very
touchy subject they certainly
would not
want France to give up its
veto-wielding
seat may I point out on the
Security
Council do you believe that
I mean is Germany looking for
World War
3 by suggesting these kinds of
things
now this is that this is
showing them
true what's really going on
with the EU
yes rebuilding the German
Empire yep the
mistake they're making and they
even
suggest this is that with
France under
it just about the Security
Council with
France and Germany both both on
I
believe Germany's on it both on
the
Security Council which is a
body it's
very small body of only you can
look him
up how many countries are on it
they right now have essentially
two EU
members on the Security Council
and that
gives them two votes instead of
one - so
why would they want to get rid
of that
second vote I mean it doesn't
make any
sense if you think about it
logically if
the EU is what it purports to
be but if
the EU is just a rebuilding of
the
German Empire as Germany as
notch as
Germany is not on the council
China
France Russian Federation
United Kingdom
United States are the permanent
members
and currently for the two-year
term of
non-permanent members Bolivia
Cote
d'Ivoire Equatorial Guinea
Ethiopia
Kazakhstan Kuwait the
Netherlands Peru
Poland and Sweden well that
makes it
even more interesting doesn't
it now so
the e besides the floating
members like
the Netherlands you have the
what you
have France as the really the
representative of the EU
representative
of the EU yeah which is exactly
what
wait well Germany is appointed
that this
Germany is proposing yet
Germany is
proposing that France give up
their seat
to the EU ah yeah which means
giving it
up to Germany of course it does
it's interesting moves a lot of
stuff
going on
including climate protests
climate
change protests in Australia in
Australia thousands of students
walked
out of class today to demand
action on
climate change on a nationwide
student
strike well I think our
government needs
to take more action on climate
change so
that our generation and now kids
generations and their kids can
have a
future that's sustainable and
healthy
and a planet that we haven't
destroyed
students of all ages are
calling for
their government to stop the
construction of new coal mines
and move
towards 100 percent renewable
energy by
2030 the protests come as
eastern
Australia is experiencing
record-breaking wildfires with
close to
200 separate fires identified
this week
so here we I have the same
situation
there's somehow been goaded
into this
mmm-hmm I don't know I I don't
even have
any comments to make anymore
about the
whole thing
um okay you're gonna break the
back of
the poor man type you know
break the
back of the poor by having that
the
these energy sources that are
extremely
expensive and removed
again it's just like it's not a
for
body's affordable to you know
anybody
this in the upper middle class
is sure
but the rest of the world is
just can't
afford these these wind power
and solar
is not a cheap mechanism no
ever yeah
you put some solar panels on
your house
in Arizona and you can probably
be out
the local power lines that's
true those
panels aren't cheap to begin
with let's
end on a high note John well
end on a
high note for this show and
we'll take
it home with a promotion for a
rival
we're gonna a promotion for a
new CNN
series that we'll all be
watching

but now
it is a political weapon and hm
it's
dangerous CNN's Fareed Zakaria
asks what
happens when the country really
needs to
impeach the president's
under-fire on
Sunday at 9:00 yeah the
impeachment show
a full series on CNN yeah it's
gonna be
