[Music]
this is no agenda merely here
you by the
way I'm John C Dvorak pay no
attention
to if you can hear me or not
that's only
it's only when something loud
is going
on yes yes in the morning that
was
corrected in the morning sir in
the
morning to you in the morning
all ships
to sea it boots on the ground
feet in
the air and stops the water
there's a
nice out there
well you are very chipper today
yeah I
got up but I got up you know
when you
get up at the exact right time
yeah
without the alarm going off
okay yes get
up you get up ten minutes too
early
you're kind of groggy you get
up ten
minutes too late you're kind of
groggy
no it's you can't hit it
exactly the
right time I don't have these
problems
no I don't I really don't
ah yes so I'm here in a Des
Moines Iowa
John as they like to call it
Des Moines
yes Des Moines now this was
called Des
Moines they do not they
absolutely do
not call it Des Moines in fact
quite the
opposite they insist you never
pronounce
the yes ah yeah I don't know
who told
you this but it's not true it
was a
local well anyway we're here in
literally in downtown Des
Moines which
is completely dead in the
weekend
there's nothing going on here
there's
and besides the fact that it is
11
degrees outside and you think
maybe
that's part of the reason no I
think
this just this all you know Des
Moines
is very interesting it's all in
its the
insurance capital of the
country so it's
all they have basically
financial
companies that are downtown
and have you ever have you been
to Des
Moines yeah of course I have
I've been
denoted the morning went to the
outskirts we went to the
Bridges of
Madison County
I love the Skywalk system they
have here
okay so you have you have not
been to do
if you've been then you know
about the
Skywalk sister in the
summertime its
attention to the sky okay so at
Downtown
this is an entire downtown area
and all
the buildings are connected by
these
enclosed you know bridges that
go from
building to building so you can
walk
throughout the downtown area
without
snow yeah I guess Minneapolis
has that
as well I think they might I
add Amoy
might have stolen it from
Minneapolis
those cities don't have these
these
alternate routes I mean in in
Toronto
and even Edmonton and also
Montreal they
have all this underground
network where
you can walk all downtown
without ever
again coming above-ground right
right
well it's no luxury here I'll
tell you
my goodness it is so cold
biting cold
it's just crazy
but as you can tell I mean a
very large
open space is kind of echoey
here in the
in the Airbnb that we got in
downtown
which has a very loud heating
system
that's so loud in fact that it
kind of
rivaled the the air conditioner
in the
air stream of consciousness so
I have to
turn it off during the show I'd
only
have a sweater on now but I'm
pretty
sure within about 30 to 45
minutes is
gonna the temperatures gonna
drop pretty
significantly here my my
remembrance of
Des Moines is that it is that
area
you're talking about is all
buildings
business offices and the like
yeah
there's actually somebody
living there
somehow yeah this is there's
the what
used to be a hotel called the
Kirkwood
hotel they turned it into icy
into
condos and of course no one
actually
lives here in the condo so it's
just
Airbnb and it's and its really
affordable you know and and by
the way
the hotels were completely
booked
she is affordable is 11 degrees
I wonder
why yeah but all their books
all the
hotel the hotel
book the hotels downtown
convention oh
it's going to convention I
don't know
what it is - I know Tulsi a
tradition no
Tulsi Gabbard was in town for
three days
which I didn't know well and of
course
we had our wedding yesterday so
we
couldn't I couldn't go check it
out but
I doubt that all the hotels
were full
just for her it seems unlikely
Wow so
this probably she oh that's
where I was
the first again but everyone
goes to Des
Moines and and what's the other
come on welfare of you know Oh
in New
Hampshire uh
New Hampshire oh and I knew him
come on
where everyone has to start
their
political campaign you always
have to go
to Des Moines is it mine and New
Hampshire yeah those are the
two differ
start things off usually not so
I don't
know why not quite sure why do
those are
the ones that that's the first
round of
elimination especially in New
Hampshire
if you can't come at first
second or
third you're gonna have nothing
but
trouble hmm
okay well Des Moines is you can
take a
pass on that you can take a
pass on
Iowa's caucuses it's not the
same vote
in New Hampshire then then it's
made a
decision okay so we had our our
big Iowa
meetup on Friday
yes I understand was a huge
success this
was it was incredibly
successful I think
it's the largest one we've had
to date
we didn't get a complete head
count cuz
the venue was kind of large and
there
were other people but I would
say we
were at least 70 maybe a few
more over
the course of four hours yeah
they threw
was it three three yeah more
than three
hours I think it was this was
really
really a good one the people
came from
all over the place from
Minnesota from
Kansas Tennessee locusts or
Patrick hobo
of course came in from
Tennessee we had
people from Indiana from Chicago
it was mind-boggling people
driving four
or five hours to come to the
meet up and
going back the same night yeah
yeah
they're hearty they're in the
Midwest
they're dedicated and they they
really
are was a great venue to the
hall which
is interesting places where
they used to
repair trains or they they I
guess they
you know train cars and they
could roll
them into this building and
work on them
and then you know turn them on
to a
different track in half of the
building
is a non-profit teaching people
how to
do different kinds of
vocational jobs
and they fund that with this
you know
basically the hall a big beer
hall now
and we we kind of took over a
whole part
and people were really you know
interested in what we were doing
thinking we were a cult
especially when one of our one
of our
producers he he was ready for a
knighting and he brought his his
accounting now this was Paul
Richardson
and he said hey you know so I
have the
final the final check here for
my
knighthood can we do it here
live said
of course we can't so good
because I got
a sword in in my car I said
bring it
were brandishing swords the
tweet about
you doing this and I said just
drag his
sword around with this was not
my sword
it was this a family sword been
in his
family for I don't know decades
or maybe
longer it was very it was very
very
unique to say the least now so
will will
be I guess we'll do a little
segment to
mention a couple people in a
little bit
as we first get started
I see we had an interesting
crossover in
particular on the the DYFS I
and the
child abuse clips this was
quite amazing
what happened with the sunrise
movement
yeah I found it to be chat was
child
abuse yes well you want to set
it up cuz
you got once I saw you had the
clips I
didn't have much to add but I
do think
it's important to let everyone
here was
going on with this well I don't
have the
complete set but I have a lot
that I had
that what I thought was the
important
clips so what happened was some
teachers
who was like the some 24 year
old she
said she was 24 when she they're
bitching and moaning about her
the kids
not voting for Feinstein some
teacher
had gotten her class to do a
big project
of writing this huge letter
giant you
know like one of those giant
checks
there's a giant letter yeah
encouraging
Feinstein to vote YES on the
green new
deal now these were kids who
were what
like 12 yeah they're 12 year
olds and
there's a couple older kids but
this
teacher was the instigator is
pretty
obvious and she convinced these
kids you
could tell by the way the kids
were
talking that they're all gonna
die in 12
years something needs to be
done now and
of course this I don't know if
she
taught the kids at this bill
bill
quote-unquote is actually just a
resolution that really has no
doesn't do
to anything except you know it
kind of
has a hopeful kind of a thing
behind it
I hope you know that is hopeful
of the
following is hopeful that we
stop all
air traffic only take trains
and I
shouldn't mention to people
just because
we we talked about this before
the
passenger train business peaked
it
didn't peak in 1955 and then
peak in
1945 it peaked in 1929 and
somehow they
want to revitalize it like the
California high-speed rail
which had to
be canceled because it was cost
overruns
were ridiculous in in other
words the
progressives are not
progressive their
progression progressives would
be
pushing for it seems to me if
your
progressive looking toward the
future
you would go for a supersonic
transport
hypersonic hypersonic or
something like
that anything but trains but
that's okay
you know they just the whole
thing he's
got these kids
jacked up so let's play a few
of the
clips this clip has got the kids
preparing to go in then it cuts
over to
them I think making their first
statement this is number one
the kids
did you see the full 14 minutes
of the
whole video I did okay cuz I
actually
pulled a couple a very short
alternative
says first of all there's such
lack of
respect by the kids I by the
way I love
the way the Twitterverse took
it all
Feinstein's a douche bag you
know she's
cuz she was a douche bag but it
wasn't
she was forced into being one
but the
kids they know it's not we're
gonna take
it in front of Senator Dianne
Feinstein
or miss Feinstein mrs. Feinstein
whatever you want to call her
now
Feinstein well they get that
from the
parents from the from the
adults in the
room that's where they get that
that
that non etiquette from
Feinstein
Feinstein yeah to be
anti-semitic okay
what did you find if
anti-semitic
a Jewish name and you just use
the
Jewish Jewish name I got a
segment
freeze later insulting it was
rude okay
yeah no I agree it was it was
rude all
right so let's go to two we
have 12
years to turn this around well
it's not
gonna get turned
in ten years what we can do the
faces of
the people who are gonna be
living with
that was the teacher and she
was the
most abhorrent of the group the
people
are gonna be living with the
consequences
she's egged these kids on told
me that
you're all gonna die in 12
years to be
fair John it's not just the
teacher this
I mean we've talked about this
this is
being rammed into kids heads
everywhere
everywhere on television it's in
cartoons it's all over the
place it's
not just the teacher yes it is
just a
teacher in my opinion here's why
shouldn't the teacher be
backing these
kids off from this nee allistic
look at
life and saying hey no you're
just fine
he's not gonna die what if the
teacher
also goes them into going into
see
Feinstein what if well okay
let's just
set something up this was not
just one
teacher
this was the sunrise movement
of which
one of them was a teacher there
were
parents there who would the
sunrise
movement they were multiple
people there
who were not teaching these
kids but
were in the group and by the
way they
didn't have an appointment they
just
walked in talking about rude so
it's the
sunrise movement who believes
this
believes the the the government
assessment which which was all
over the
news told everybody if we don't
turn
this round in twelve years then
it's
going to be irreversible and
that's what
AOC is all about in her green
New Deal
so the first time we heard the
same
thing was about nineteen eighty
nine
when they we have clips we have
quotes
that you have ten years to live
so by
the year 2000 already I'm not
arguing
that but this very moment it
has been so
propagandized that and this is
the
Feinstein's Feinstein not being
anti-semitic DYFS I said some
very good
things to these kids but she's
too
chickenshit to actually say
you're not
gonna die
in 12 years that's the part
that I
thought that I found
reprehensible from
her well I found a number of
reprehensible thing well of
course she's
the Democrat so she has to kind
of deal
with this the the teacher
should be a
teacher and not just a
cheerleader for
for dying in 12 years I've
found her to
be extremely offensive well
hold on hold
on one second let me play you
27 seconds
of of these kids and the
teacher talking
about skipping school and if
you listen
carefully
they cut school for this day
all the
teachers were on board it was
part of
the queue can hear the kids
saying yeah
it's part of the Global Strike
which
means they're seeing it and
they know
about the kids in Brussels who
are all
bundled up and all you know
protesting
global warming it's spreading
all over
Europe it's not really
discussed that
much but this was a truancy
operation
[Music]
kids can skip school if it's
for this
cause right this is a truancy
operation
these people should be jailed
do that
anymore no no you can just take
off when
you feel like it so you can
bitch about
global warming here's my last
clip I was
elected by almost a million vote
plurality and I know what I'm
doing so
you know maybe people should
listen a
little bit I know what you're
saying but
where
people who voted you you're
supposed to
listen to us that's here I love
the lack
of English grammar where the
people that
voted you think that was I know
I like
that too that was fantastic
you're supposed to listen to us
that's
your senator the cost of not
taking this
action is far higher than the
cost of
what the green new deal this is
the
sunrise movement representative
and
there's an enormous popularity
for this
bill around the whole country
here's
nothing you do before you do
this for us
and for your grandchildren
all right good I have some
complimentary
course of course of course the
first of
all this woman says it's gonna
cost this
is gonna cost less the green
new here's
good cause
yes the green new deal is gonna
cost
nothing because it's just a
resolution
that is never brought up these
kids
don't even know they think that
they're
gonna get votes for this the
next thing
you know global warming is over
well not entirely true well the
kids may
not know it but the sunrise
movement
person whether she's a teacher
or a
parent she knew exactly what
was going
on here and I think I have a
feeling
there were different video
recordings
because you would you probably
would
have clipped this if you had
heard this
this is here's the lady talking
ever
just before they getting ready
to get
kicked out which I also have
listened to
what she says here we know that
no plan
is gonna pass right now all the
Republicans control the Senate
this is a
long game we need to be doing
this to
unite the Democratic Party I
don't know
if you noticed but voters
haven't been
particularly energized the last
couple
of years we need something to
fight for
your constituents are asking
you for
this and I really believe and
thousands millions of people
around the
country are asking for this
online
they're calling you your phone
lines are
blocked up look I understand
all of this
and I'm trying to do the best I
can
which was to write a responsible
resolution plan that doesn't
take full
transformative action is not
going to be
what we need well you know
better than I
do I think one day like that
was pretty
funny you should run bitch jerk
why
didn't she why didn't the
following take
place you know she has she has
people
she has people who could who
could
strategize this they come to
kids come
in with the letter or the big
giant
letter and if I says oh this is
so
wonderful this giant letter
let me we're gonna hit up I'm
gonna I'm
gonna take it we're gonna go
over this
letter we're gonna frame it and
put it
in the office this is great I
have a
meeting and hopefully you guys
can be in
touch with me in the field
that's not
that's not how it went that
that is how
they got rid of it listen I got
the clip
of house I'll fake kick the
kids out as
they said they want to present
this
letter now she's been talking
with them
for 10 minutes and and again
big giant
letter the only thing she had
to say was
it's just not true you're not
going to
die in 12 years and she knows
it and I
can prove it which I'll do in a
moment
but here they are getting ready
to kick
the kids out
what is this not voting present
thing
what it what is that is that
some kind
of abstention or if you can vote
President Obama did all of his
years in
the Senate so you don't
actually vote
you just say I'm here yeah they
can
accuse you of abstaining but
you what
the with the Sun sunshine rise
movement
person is saying is please
don't just
say you're present she says I
can say
Obama I'm a I don't know I'm a
vote
present I understand all that
here comes can we read now come
from a
long place way to come you want
to
present that we can read it
as a mother of this gun child I
can say
that I really hope that you
follow the
lead of these young people and
I think
it's the best chance that
really giving
9 year olds run the country we
need your
leadership young people the
nine year
olds run the country
all right so everyone's had a
lot of fun
some good fun with the with
with this
video but did you have a chance
to look
at her resolution the one she
handed to
these kids no oh this is the No
Agenda
way I'd like to review a little
bit of
Diane Feinstein's draft climate
change
resolution it differs somewhat
from the
green New Deal well does it it
probably
leaves out the part about cow
farts yeah
it doesn't have that but it's
there's
some more important differences
the
change so you know a resolution
this is
a resolution it just says
here's the
stuff we agree on and here's
the stuff
we say we're gonna do it
doesn't do
anything else it's just kind of
an
agreement and is used as a dare
I say a
framework to start creating
legislation
from so Congress is you make
daresay I
dare say I made a sense
Congress finds
that the climate is changing a
result of
human activities primarily the
combustion of fossil fuels the
changes
in climate projected in the
coming
decades threaten rapid
widespread
concurrent and long-lasting
increases in
heat waves wildfire disease
drought crop
failures sea level rise from
loss of
glaciers and collapse of ice
sheets
ocean acidification mass
extinction and
collapse of food chains mass
population
migrations and human conflict
that
sounds kind of groovy yeah
changes in
the climate are already evident
that
since the beginning of the 20th
century
the atmospheric concentration
of carbon
dioxide has increased by more
than 1/3
global average temperatures have
increased by more than a full
degree
Fahrenheit and then she goes
into some
interesting examples at
California from
and since you live out there
California
from 2011 to to
17 was likely made 15 to 20
percent more
intense by global warming by
the drought
I'm sorry the drought in
California was
likely made 15 to 20 percent
more
intense by global warming what
he likely
leas a lot of likely the next
line the
rainfall in Texas during
hurricane
Harvey in 2017 was likely
increased 15
to 19 percent due to climate
change and
the area burned by wildfire in
the
western United States between
84 and
2015 was doubled due to climate
change
among other indications I mean
this is
really a very wishy-washy fuzzy
little
thing we're supposed to agree
upon but
here's what she says we should
do number
one
instituting a price on carbon
yeah die
fine we we know what you're
going for
yes let's see where she differs
from the
green New Deal completing the
transition
to zero emissions electricity
sources to
electric drive surface
transportation
systems so she's just talking
about not
about airplanes and also we
need to have
efficient systems for
transmission
distribution and storage of
electricity
uh-huh
yes of course we do by the way
she wants
all of this to take place by
2050 and
this is why I'll be dead by
this is why
she's chickenshit the United
States
shall reduce net greenhouse gas
emissions to zero as soon as
possible
and by no later than 2050 now
this is
great this is why it was
originally 2030
we predicted this five years
ago because
2030 a lot of the old
politicians then
really weren't gonna maybe be
in office
in 2030 and Dianne Feinstein
she won't
be alive in 2050 so she can
make any
resolution she wants no one's
gonna call
her on it that's why this 2015
umber is
here we will need to resume the
development of energy efficient
standards for ceiling fans
walk-in
coolers freezers
uninterruptible power
supplies portable air
conditioners
boilers central
air conditioners lightbulbs and
other
appliances also she would like
to
maintain the coordinated
national
program of fuel economy and
vehicle
emission standards which should
exceed
50 miles per gallon by every
every car
needs to do that by 2025 we
must remain
a party to the Paris climate
agreement
reinstate the interagency
working group
on the social cost of carbon
and then
rebuild our infrastructure
infrastructure to be more
resilient to
extreme weather fortify coastal
communities against sea-level
rise
identify alternative supplies of
drinking water develop crops and
agricultural practices that will
maintain a reliable supply of
food hello
Monsanto prepare the public
health
system for greater risks of
vector-borne
diseases asthma heat stroke and
other
health hazards hey how about
hypothermia
seeing as the climate change is
causing
this cold snap but it's not in
there and
then the part that AOC would
like to
hear the United States shall
ensure a
just an equitable transition
for all
communities including
guaranteeing
pensions for workers in the
coal oil and
gas industry and providing
meaningful
training for new economic
opportunities
within their own communities
and you
know what that ensuring that the
infrastructure investments
required to
migrate and adapt to climate
change will
offer good high wage paying
jobs in the
United States respects the
needs and
wisdom of local communities and
planning
infrastructure especially
communities
that have historically been
marginalized
or oppressed including
indigenous people
communities of color migrant
communities
the industrialized communities
depopulated rural communities
the poor
low-income workers women the
elderly the
unhoused people with
disabilities and
youth who is who is who is not
in that
group of that list as everybody
but what
old white men everybody's in
there but
us and then finally we commit to
minimizing the extent and speed
of
climate change we
we'll initially this is a great
is the
last sentence of the whole
document
minimizing the extent and speed
of
climate change which will
initially harm
the most vulnerable individuals
and
communities disproportionately
and will
eventually imperil all society
helped me
understand even helped me
understand
this sentence so again take a
look out
the window
how are those how are those my
thoughts
right now it's bigger than I've
ever
seen no so there must be some
gloop
I guess Australia's sponge is
sucking up
devotion so to me it sounds
like she's
saying we're screwed no matter
what but
once you read it again
ok so I'll read this the the
heading the
United States shall ensure a
just and
equitable transition for all
communities
including by minimizing the
extent and
speed of climate change which
will
initially harm the most
vulnerable
individuals and communities
disproportionately and will
eventually
imperil all Society so it
sounds like
gonna eventually in peril
eventually she
uses that word has to kick her
yeah
eventually in peril all society
that
Mariah's maybe something are
not rude do
something at well two drafts
maybe she
still needs to work on it she
needs to
throw it away anyway I thought
the whole
thing was it was it was said
I'm sad
about these children I really
AM it's
it's you know kids have
projects they
get it you know when you're
older you'd
look back on I mean I was dumb
but do
you think that these kids who
are
hearing this stuff that they
really they
that they don't get their like
I it's
not really we're not really
gonna die
it's not really gonna be
horrible or do
they really believe it I think
a bunch
of them do believe it but I
think most
of them are just kids
well I mean when I was a kid
you have to
remember I was the
duck-and-cover
generation mm-hmm and so uh you
know oh
okay
all right hold on tell me
specifically
duck-and-cover tell me how what
did that
have any effect on you were you
worried
at the time I don't remember
being
worried to this extent these
kids are
about global warming I mean
yeah the but
Russians are gonna bomb my cell
okay
let's go over that period there
was a
number of factors going on I
wasn't
until the fish in fusion fish
and bomb
came out that most of this
ended people
just threw their arms in the
air and
said screw it
that's a thermonuclear bomb
which means
it was a fishing bomb that set
off an
h-bomb which set off a bunch of
cheap
uranium which poisoned the
earth for the
next you know 100 years before
that bomb
was invented which was the
discussion of
this is in a book by Linus
Pauling
called No More war which is
quite really
a good read if you can find a
copy
anyway before that they were
having us
well you could duck you know
don't look
at the fireball and you know
you don't
look at the fireball cause I
have the
jingle the duck-and-cover I bet
I do
somewhere and so then and so
then during
that same era there was a
people were
selling fallout shelters and
there was
always somebody in the
neighborhood a
couple people in the
neighborhood who
bought these things bring out a
big
construction rig and dig a huge
hole in
their backyard and drop in a
big tank
which had a entrance to it and
these
things are still out there in
the
Midwest and throughout the west
coast in
the suburbs
mostly suburbs and they used
this you
know root storage you know
can't you put
your canned goods in our
pantries
virtually let me see I think I
might
have one of the original
duck-and-cover
jingles that you kids were
indoctrinated
with I thought we had that
somewhere I
think we do anyway okay so we
had it was
like you know it seemed as
though they
were gonna blow it the world is
gonna
blow up and looking back on it
I had
other concerns like getting laid
ma mostly like just this girl
what would
she do
I mean it was to concern if I
getting
killed by a nuke which was
gonna wipe
everybody out really wasn't
something
that was at the top of my top
of the
list of things to think about
and then
it's just now it just doesn't
yeah you
duck and cover and you're right
look at
somebody's bomb shelter and
then you did
it didn't affect you adversely
it did
not affect you adversely is
what you're
saying well it was looking back
on it
and I can see that that it was
semi
humorous these kids being any
different
than any kids well I think if
you take
this so you take this this
threat which
you really can't see I think
that's
comparable to the the nuclear
bomb that
you know yeah we we really
don't know
it's never will it really
happen there
is other child abuse going on
as we
speak this took place this past
week in
Florida
Stephanie Kearns her daughter
Sydney and
one of Sydney's classmates are
all able
to hug each other after what
they
described as a stressful day at
Palatka
high school
Sydney Curran says the stress
began when
an emphatic voice over the
intercom
alerted students and staff that
an
intruder was on campus the
school went
into lockdown Sydney says she
and her
classmates rushed into a back
room in a
separate building on campus
she says the lights of the room
were
turned off students and
teachers had no
idea this was an active shooter
drill
how real was it it was very
real like
people were banging on the
doors kids
were crying saying Let Me In
and they
would not let them in the back
she and
other students were texting
their
parents well I was freaking out
I was at
work and I was like oh my gosh
I spoke
with one student off-camera who
said the
drill was so realistic that she
had an
anxiety attack she said she
looked over
and noticed some of her
teachers also
having panic attacks this is
why on one
hand
Stephanie Kearns is worried
about
unannounced active shooter
drills I mean
I can appreciate them doing
drills but
you know I know there is some
kids that
they suffer from anxiety
attacks or
panic attacks or just different
issues
on the other hand she agrees
with
unannounced drills to better
prepare
students
real emergency if they tell
everyone
it's the drill are they really
gonna
take it seriously
school officials issued a
facebook
statement saying they wanted to
see
authentic reactions from
students and
employees to see possible flaws
and make
necessary changes the drill was
handled
very well all I find this
amazing I mean
people can get hurt
with these unannounced drills
wait for
when somebody dies from a heart
attack
or something during one of
these drills
does people die of heart
attacks sure
you know somebody drops dead
from one of
these drills and unexpectedly
and sues
the school district for
everything
they're worth millions of
dollars and
then their insurance rate goes
skyrocketing after that because
the
insurance company will pay that
the
first one but they're not gonna
put up
with this going on for long and
so you
end up with a costing the
public a lot
of money because they won't eat
they
won't eat it it's just the
public that
has to eat it with these higher
taxes
this is unacceptable
and and I'll say that what I
think is
you know the the fallout from
this is
it's one thing to be you know
this
magical climate change which is
gonna
kill you because it's gonna be
so warm
and we're sitting here where the
sweaters on but kids who are in
school
and colleges John they really
are
traumatized by this because
they're told
that can happen at any moment
can happen
to their school at any moment
and then
you get a drill that's
unannounced I
think that's pretty
irresponsible yeah I
agree
anyway kids are abused all the
time and
I love it when the truth comes
out
CNBC yes CNBC How to Train Your
Dragon
in the hidden world opens in
theaters
nationwide this weekend from
Universal
Pictures and DreamWorks which
along with
CNBC is a subsidiary of Comcast
so at a
time when kids are watching less
traditional TV and TV
commercials how is
the studio promoting this film
and
others while they've asked us
to ask
Julia Boorstin she's on the
Oscar red
carpet with a look Julia pay
attention
now
well Kelly DreamWorks Animation
is not
relying on commercials but
rather going
to where our kids and teenagers
spend
their mind to spend their time
to drive
word of mouth and also social
chatter
where kids spend their minds
yeah yeah
the truth always wants to come
out yes
their minds men their minds on
the
social medias yes that's
exactly right
that's where they spend their
minds and
you're there corrupting them
all right
just to get off the green New
Deal I
don't know if you saw this one
last bit
from Alexandria Ocasio Cortez
who had to
fight back against this DYFS
ideal
because this is unacceptable
and here's
how she said that in I think
there's
actually a rare appearance in
New York
and I read it and I was like
you know
what I don't care anymore I
don't care
anymore because again I'm at
least
trying and they're not so the
power
isn't the person who's trying
regardless
of the success if you're trying
you've
got all the power you're
driving the
agenda you're doing all this
stuff like
I just introduced green New
Deal two
weeks ago and it's creating all
of this
conversation why because no one
else has
even tried because no one else
has even
tried so people like oh it's
unrealistic
oh it's vague oh it doesn't
address this
little minut thing and I'm like
you try
you do it
[Applause]
cuz you're not so until you do
it I'm
the boss you heard it here
I like how she kind of turns
into Jenny
on the Jenny from the block
yeah you do
it oh really you do it
oh there's the Latina coming
out in her
you know it was a group effort
that came
up with this thing not her she
says when
I introduce aw when she
introduced it
was a whole group of people and
they all
did they all went up and said
something
she should have said when we
introduced
she's not a team player she's
gonna get
she's gonna be sorry no I was
one of the
members of the group that
introduced a
green new deal but I'm not such
a
loudmouth like she is I'd be
worked by
that comment nor that I did it I
introduced it I wrote it she
didn't do
that bullcrap well she's taken
that
she's taking the glory for
whatever it
is for whatever it's worth
alright we've
been talking about
anti-semitism but
with you when I've seen this
accusation
rise significantly in just the
past
month everything everywhere
there's
anti-semitism anti-semitism
oh it's antisense anti-semitic
let's
start here at the church yeah
they're
trying to show the yellow vest
of the
anti-semitism
here we go PBS Newshour with
Jonathan
Greenblatt he is the executive
director
of the anti-defamation league
if the
president and his supporters
and anyone
who is doing what what Deb
refers to as
these dog whistle calls if they
all went
silent the hatred and the
bigotry that
that is anti-semitism would
still exist
wouldn't it well of course
anti-semitism is often called
the oldest
hatred it's been a persistent
problem
for centuries some would argue
even
millennia but the issue is this
and we
know this from the words of the
white
supremacists themselves the
David dukes
the Richard Spencer's the Andrew
England's these individuals
with their
poisonous prejudice they have
celebrated
online when they've seen terms
like
America first or globalist or
more
recently nationalist and up
literally in
the talking points of
candidates and
officials themselves and
I do want to say something and
this is
important this important is not
political after Charlottesville
we saw
leaders from the Republican
Party and
the Democratic Party call this
out
however this demands not just
saying
something in response to an
incident but
rather it's the climate leaders
create
every single day and we need
people in
positions of authority across
the board
keep in mind the 57% increase
included a
90% increase of acts of
anti-semitism on
college campuses so whether
you're the
president of a university or the
president of the United States
people in
positions of authority need to
shut this
down as soon as they hear it so
now we
have blue eight which is an
interesting
transition you didn't let it
play out
when he actually also add
Farrakhan and
the women that Muslim didn't
find that
in the clip welcoming Farrakhan
was left
out he's openly anti-semitic
and so are
these some of these newer women
that
just came into the scene no no
no no no
that you have it all wrong you
see it's
the white nationalists which is
really
nationalist so let's just break
it down
which is really I guess that
you didn't
say patriotic but that was all
that was
missing there he's just
twisting it was
this guy he's the director of
the
anti-defamation league he is
the ease
that go-to guys care about
Farrakhan
well notice is the white
nationalist if
you if you claim to be a white
nationalist what do you think
you're
mainly against people who are
not white
but for some reason that's now
Jews oh
this reminds me about what this
is like
months and months ago in
Horowitz and
Dvorak deasia unplugged
Horowitz says he
says what when did I not become
white
now he's not white he's worked
about it
well I'm sorry he can't he's
not in our
white Club go away okay so with
the same
we're talking the same week we
have
on PBS newshour Friday night I
guess it
is Bill Maher and his HBO show
has an
old friend of ours
why we have not seen for years
Bernard
on real Evy yeah who is this
guy he's
French I can't remember the
French
intellectual douchebag yeah
he's a
French dude that's what he is
he's a
French intellectual douchebag
okay
Bernard levy let me look him up
I forgot
all about this guy he was in
the news it
must have been six years ago he
was all
over the place and anyway so he
he is
accentuating the antes you got
him you
remember you remember him right
well vaguely well he was in the
news a
lot back in the day I should I
should
look up when we last played a
clip from
him anyway he's humble he's
arms omar
knew those philosophies yes and
he's
there to basically connect the
dots
between anti-semitism and the
yellow
vests it's the same stoplights
yeah yeah
yeah yeah you know listen here
he comes
listen to this every day I read
a paper
about the yellow jackets in
France the
started as a protest against
high gas
prices I yeah not just high gas
prices
bill you can go ahead and say
it was
against a carbon tax but ah gee
you just
can't bring yourself to say I
know I was
being sarcastic but I'd had two
yellow
jackets in French as a protest
against
high gas prices I think and it
seems to
have morphed into something
darker with
elements of anti-semitism why is
everything in Europe wind up
being
something involved with
anti-semitism I
like what he does Bill Maher is
good
here why is everything in Europe
anti-semantic they just they're
all Jew
hater is all over Europe it's
quiet
[Music]
yes you like curry you're a Jew
hater
pretty much first we heard white
nationalist is nationalist is
anti-semitic now we're hearing
and
that's a biotic clarify
something for
people the fascist movement
which was an
Italian cause an intellectual
movement
and Benito Mussolini was one of
the main
players in the development of
it in the
late 20s actually mid 20s
it had absolutely zero people
it was a
totalitarian style system that
was very
closely hooked to corporatism
where
corporations were part of the
government
but it had absolutely zero
anti-semitism
built within it in fact the
opposite may
actually be true
it wasn't until Hitler came
along and
stole the kind of stole the
popularity
of the whole system and he put
in his
anti-jewish
prejudices or bigotries into
the into
the system and made it
anti-jewish it
never traditionally fascism
does not
equal anti-semitism by
definition
unfortunally ISM which is the
Nazi Party
yes that's different but he
didn't say
that unfortunately when you do
not
defend the meaning of words
such as gay
meaning happy gleeful and you
allow that
to be changed
you can't stop other words
being changed
to have a meaning and it's
happening
right here before our very eyes
by
intellectual elites who are
just telling
us these words means something
different
now and you're meant to believe
it yeah
it's completely unacceptable in
Canada
Naevia you're not you're not
too free
from this and we have the
yellow vests
also cropping up in Canada here
is
author slash podcaster Nora
Loreto was
telling us exactly what this is
about
this is a movement that is
using the
cover of jobs and pipelines and
oil
exploitation to earn their
credibility
into the mainstream press well
they're
also talking about the UN being
some
international conspiracy theory
too I'm
not exactly sure what override
Canada
with I don't even wanna
continue on that
line because it's just so
racist and so
disgusting those verbs nouns
you gets
these mixed up I don't get it
yeah it's
fantastic it really is alright
well
there you go it's just what it
is the
president shows I started off
joyous I'm
getting born bored
obviously 2011 this is that same
douchebag quote here for a
moment you
say I am troubled by a system
of justice
modestly termed accusatory this
is that
anyone can come along and if
that is
what the complainer to the
victim so
yeah 2011 is the last time we
heard from
him eight years ago and this
guy's back
he's frog got a book coming up
that's
what he just said he said this
is
exactly what his book is about
his book
is about populism turning into
anti-semitism and he's got the
anti-defamation league to back
everybody
up you know this there is acorn
a
defamation they should be
ashamed of
itself by not mentioning
Farrakhan if
they're gonna if they're gonna
go there
mmm God well not not in any
clips I saw
so no because they didn't know
because
this would kind of impinge on
the
Democrat Party this is become a
political organization the
partisan
toward the Democrats it's
unacceptable
so I have a clip well just
change gears
a little bit unless you want to
stop and
take a pause because we're
gonna have to
take a couple extra bullets
yeah maybe I
should talk about the meet up
first
before we go into a regular
segment talk
about who we saw and and who
had what to
say and and who had some nice
notes etc
yeah you got a lot more notes
then the
general meetups get seems to me
cuz I
looked at your little list of
things to
talk about and you had a lot of
notes we
don't have to read every single
one of
them no but you don't want to
read the
good ones let's start this
segment and
then we can do you'll do the
meetup
reads cuz it's a separate group
all
right well let's do it we'll do
the
regular the regular stuff and
then go
back well let me start by
thanking you
for your courage and say in the
morning
to you the man who put the sea

Sir
Lowenbrau who man it's been a
long time
since he had some artwork he
did the art
for episode 1114 title that was
fudged
and this was the orange man bad
poison
control patch we I think we got
this
from evergreens yeah it's a
it's an
older one he probably doesn't
even
listen to the show anymore
not well I don't know about
that no I'm
guessing mmm he probably does
probably
does but I don't know why
couldn't we
find any art that was recently
submitted
do you recall yeah cuz it
wasn't up to
our normal high standards I'll
kind of
sit I was straddling it was a
lot of it
was predictive a lot of it
wasn't really
it wasn't funny
all right predictive yeah a lot
of
people do this now um they'll
think they
know what topics we're gonna
talk about
and make art beforehand yeah
yeah it
doesn't doesn't work very well
usually
you generally never works okay
so we had
our big meetup here in in Des
Moines I
before you go to the meetup how
was the
wedding
well the meetup was first the
wedding

bison early to do the show but
the
meetup was on Friday as we
traveled from

plane at 10
to 6 to st. Louis you cannot get
directly to Des Moines from
pretty much
anywhere we had a layover

turned round everything set up
and went
straight off to the hall which
again
thanks to the the owner for
letting us
brandish weapons and you know

thank him
right up front he gave $33
which was $30
in paper and three susan b
anthony

square thing
exactly who thanks to an
anonymous donor

everybody did
a good job with envelopes and
and with
notes and putting their name on
it
although the $49 that it was a
cheque
and I don't want to mention
their names
because that's kind of an
anonymous
that's one of our signs that
that is
meant to be an anonymous
donation
because it is there you would
have
donated 50 yes 50 dollars from
John and
Erin Shriver they had no note
jake
nickel $60 and he had a very
nice note
and he also gave me a book
which may
have to enter the no agenda
reading list

grandfather
Lloyd D Johnson an accomplished
engineer
who was part of an engineering
team that

gyroscopic
navigational control module for
the moon
lander in the 60s and legend

you do this so much better than

with these notes all right I
know right
then we had our knighting on
the spot
Steve Drury and let me see oh
by the way
can I mention something yes

thank you sir Dennis alright
and that
concludes our well wishers our
executive
producers associate executive
producers
and the meetup members that
showed up
the complete list and want to
thank them
all for supporting this show no
agenda
show number one 1:15 we had a
great time
and I look forward to more
meetups as
John said we have the big
Austin Texas
meeting meetup coming this
Saturday but
this one was particularly
special
because so many people came from
reasonably large distances just
to be
here and was a lot of
excitement and it
was just a great crowd and
besides us
meeting everybody I think
everyone else
enjoyed meeting each other so
hopefully
we'll do another one in Iowa
and in the
future and no agenda no agenda
people
that go to these meet us and
start to
meet each other even though you
don't
meet everybody and meet a lot
of them
they get along famously
sometimes you end up with a
situation
like local one up in Michigan
they have
meetups like every month yeah
and then
just they create their own
little groups
and just social operation so
there's
plenty of producers here in
Iowa itself
and there and you know many of
them were
there and so I think that they
could
certainly have their own local
Iowa one
but again it was just really
nice to
have everybody flow in and to
local
local - I'm sorry this we know
who owns
local one it'll be local - of
course
that's a union stage and I
gonna put up
with this sort of thing we will
be back
on Thursday for another episode
of the
best podcast in the universe
you are
more than welcome to support
the work
please consider doing that at
formula is
this people in the mouth
[Applause]
whoa you've got
oh right oh I have an update
okay we
were talking about the douchebag
reporting from Tucker Carlson
regarding
Strama ding the screaming and
vomiting
combo
which is supposedly takes place
when you
smoke too much weed yeah and
this has an
actual name cannabinoid
hyperemesis
syndrome CHS and I called
bullshit on it
the first time I call bullshit
on the
second time that we came up
particularly
because I don't know what Tucker
Carlson's problem is with with
weed but
he has such a disdain for it
but he was
very specific him and his staff
doctor
this came from smoking too much
weed
that's that's the way you
recall it as
well John that is the way I
recall it
now I want to interject here
that there
have been some instances in
certain
states although I think this
may be
exaggerated to where people
have too
much too many edibles no
because the
grounds it takes two hours
before they
take effect and they after now
nothing
happens so they look more and
then now
still nothing happens they take
more the
next thing you know they had
three three
of our producers email me and
they all
had very similar notes you're
mocking
this it's true
it is true I had it I was
screaming and
puking I lost 35 pounds it was
the most
horrible experience ever and
like what
I've never heard of this it's
in and I
am a daily you pretty much
daily smoker
of the flower lose 35 pounds
well this
went on for weeks
Oh weeks okay I figured out
what's going
on this is not repeat not from
people
smoking weed this is from
people who dab
and now I understand the
problem and if
you don't know what dabbing is
dabbing
is an extraction pro se smoking
wax
essentially THC acts which is
wax which
is hash or they call a wax but
it's hash
oil which is extracted using
butane
so it's butane
oil act extracts people also
using
propane now to extract it and
this is
and I've had some of this I've
smoked
some wax I was like this is not
weed
this is like some chemicals
it means incredibly strong and
it's not
pleasurable but I think that
there's
this you know there's this
contingent of
people who really love this this
chemically treated marrow hash
oil hemp
oil that can I stop please did
all three
producers send you that pretty
much the
same note and did all three
producers
imbibe through this method yes
and so
none of it were smoking I mean
to me
smoking dope smoking weed
smoking the
reefer any of these things has
been the
tails making a small cigarette
and then
smoking it like as if it was
something a
cigarette like yes and an
estimate is
smoking and this is not this is
the this
is like the districting cocaine
and
crack yeah in a way that's
similar now
this is typically and and if
you want to
know where a lot of these
so-called vape
pen explosions come from a lot
of the
dabbers you know use very
high-powered
battery vape systems known as
mods which
can be very dangerous if you
know if
they don't have protection of
for
overload and they put a little
bit of
the wax there on the coil and
then they
and then it heats it up because
of the
essentially the short circuit
you're
crazy with a lithium-ion
battery and
then that is inhaled but that's
not the
same as marijuana so regardless
of
whether it's coming from some
cannabinoid product it is not
repeat not
from smoking weed and so which
even
which makes Tucker Carlson's
report even
stupider especially because he
had a
doctor there it is true that a
hot
shower helps and there's you
know and
and and people do have severe
reaction
to it which but this sort of
practice
should be discouraged by Tucker
Carlson
it's not used as evidence
against the
whole everything exactly very
that I
consider that to be
dishonest reporting there is
one other
thing that one of our producers
sent
this in he says what's
happening now is
in California growers you know
there's
all kinds of rules and
regulations so if
they have moldy marijuana or
stuff that
maybe the caterpillar that
apparently
they have a caterpillar issue
and
they're eating up all of the
yeah
Yuni up the crops so then these
growers
when they can't sell them into
the
official market they will
basically hand
them off to the extractors the
the BHO
butane hash oil extractors
which then
ends up in the vape cartridges
which are
legal to buy and yo and then
you've got
some contaminated shit that
you're
inhaling again through it
through a
vaporizer people just get the
flower
just that's that's the way it
was
intended they don't need
anything extra
just the flower and you're
right roll it
up and that's the way to go and
all this
other stuff is I think you're
playing
with your life and I cannot
recommend it
end of lecture
yes end of lecture and end of
end of
looking out for the word you
know the
reefer madness of fox news and
tucker
carlson it's wrong well i have
my theory
on that already well go ahead
well i told it before this is
all
because of the o'reilly market
which is
what because took carlson took
over the
o'reilly spot right everybody
who
listens that that moment
expects anti
marijuana propaganda you're
right you're
right
lost groom hey so there's an
israeli
trip to the moon coming finally
they
gotta go check on the moon
bases see see
how they're doing
but apparently can't get there
they have
to go whipping around around
the earth
like up for a month and then get
slingshot it out to the moon
cuz they we
don't make a big rocket anymore
the
biggest saturn v rocket that
was used to
go to the moon and if you ever
look at a
rocket comparison chart you see
rocket
rock to tighten to yell these
rockets in
there's a seven-five
monstrosity which
is the biggest thing ever built
and they
can't build them anymore
because it cost
too much season 70's made the
trip to
the moon in three days
thanks to giant Saturn five
rockets
without that kind of boost the
Israeli
craft has to orbit Earth in
growing
circles until lunar gravity
finally
pulls it in in April I can't
wait for
rockets to not be making it to
be
crashing blowing up stuff to go
wrong
it's not gonna happen I am now
more
convinced than ever when I read
through
him between the lines of all
these oh
we're going back to the moon
after what
is it now Oh 50 years woohoo
let's see
you do it please land with one
of those
lunar modules can't wait
I'm skeptical as you can tell
yeah it's
not new here's a clip I put
these clips
and I do I pre produce them now
the day
before so sometimes I forget
what
they're about so I'm not sure
what the
Deborah Eisenstaedt on sexism
weirdo
clip is let's see what it is to
be
honest I was battling a lot of
sexism on
while I made this really yeah
how so
who is don't stop that clip
alright
that clip I'm saving that clip
to use in
conjunction with the emilia
clarke clip
okay at a moment in time where
we're
talking about this topic
because now I
know what it is I'm sorry that
I I
should have not forgotten okay
you want
to redeem yourself with
something else
yes I got Jill Abramson haha I
knew you
would have time for this I'd
thank you
so much because this was a
c-span thing
and I certainly wasn't able to
do it
well I got one two three this
short we
said one no two of them are long
actually two minutes but one
two three
four plus two fabulous ISOs oh
and it's
the ISOs you're gonna probably
like the
most okay but she talks a lot
about you
know we didn't care too much
about her
going on and on about what was
and what
wasn't plagiarism but she did
lose the
plot you know I that we talked
about we
had to clip from the canadian
land
podcast where she where they
talked
about how jill said that she
sent to
think device and then never got
anything
but it's not true that whole
clip from
canada land was very dubious
unfortunately when she starts
talking
about it in this particular
clip where
she loses the plot she loses
her train
of thought and the woman who's
interviewing her which is that
the old
NPR CEO who's the one who said
the one
from an advertising Oh what was
her name
again
uh-huh that doesn't matter
doesn't
matter doesn't really matter
but and she
sounds like you know they're
the same
right I'll think of her name as
we go
but watch how she loses the
plot and
then the interviewer which is
this ex
NPR woman
if you if you're losing your
train of
thought and you're the
interviewer
that's the problem that's the
problem
it's pretty much the
interviewers
purview to bring you back into
line yeah
with some you know memorable as
anything
you try to trigger this no
never happens
we don't even get the end of
the story
advice because I I saw my my
portrait
over all of them as being a
balanced and
well you do you do document a
lot of
yeah missteps and you know some
of these
but you know the Avenel issues
around
we're gonna go back to that
issue but
that is why I gave in
manuscript version
the three chapters of ice to
the been
spokesman of ice to rake over
they did
and I am so certain that I me
they
didn't give me anything in
writing
whereas the other place I gave
manuscript pages was at the
times which
came back pretty comprehensive
land and
writing so it's possible
because I'm
better on print than through my
ears
although I know a news
organization saw
the chapter an editor at at
each one I
asked but anyway what point
were we on
we were talking about chart be
that
BuzzFeed has been able to
embrace and
harness this - well they for a
long time
I mean but that was Vivian
Schiller is
her name yeah Vivian she
couldn't get
her back on track in fact she
even
pushed her off the track by
going on
about something wasn't even
discussed
BAM do you want to get anyway
so she
talks a bit it was some good
stuff here
here's what she said this
starts off
with a discussion of how luxury
watches
started being covered on the
New York
Times for no good reason and
then she
begins to talk about how
analytics has
affected coverage and white
Trump gets
so much negative publicity
I didn't know any of this well
it's
because I haven't been in a
newsroom
preferred over well over a
decade but I
had no idea that for example
apparently
at the Washington Post they
have a board
it's like it's like the Max
Headroom
movie where the ratings of the
dish no
we got so many clicks on the
story
number five really this is the
luxury
watches clip watch's luxury
watch
desperately needed bill keller
and my
collective view was like there
is
nothing really newsworthy about
watch
that was a bad way of course
you know
that that that's running the
time right
now and it's still you know
rankles me
and you know i was probably not
the
executive editor matched
perfectly with
my time challenge the access the
newsrooms access to analytics
eye on how
stories are performing you talk
about
you talk about an episode where
it was
introduced at the washington
post and
well now no and you know they
have these
big board you see by the second
what's
what what stories are being
right done
and that may dare i say help
explain why
sometimes when i'm on the post
post app
i have to scroll like maybe
twice
sometimes three times because
they mix
opinion with news on one of
their at one
of their apps it's all trump
because you
know and maybe Trump is is me
and you
know he's obviously the master
news
maker and that's exactly what
he wants
but all of those stories are
getting
like big audiences and lots of
clicks
and you know there is an implied
incentive to have so many and
at the
times you know I I have a
friend who
still works there who admitted
to me
that when they aren't right
non-trump and something else
like on
chart beador now that times
journalists
can easily have access to
analytics
okay so breaking this down what
she's
saying is and it's hard for
people who
are new to Jill Abe I'm just -
understand why is she talking
about
so the journalists write
stories there's
an analytics board in the
newsroom that
shows who's whose story is
getting the
most reads clicks whatever and
then
that's the incentive for them
to go and
do more of that which for their
audience
of course is Trump Alex yeah
Chris click
we don't even know if it's
reads just
clicks well this is like that's
gonna
kill them man that's that's
gonna kill
all news I agree because this is
something that I know was I
started
writing on the on the web early
and I've
always wanted to see what the
analytics
were because I always I kind of
wrote
clickbait style headlines and I
still do
and I can see where you would
start to
think that oh this is this one
worked
this one didn't and they kind of
encouraged that in some in
magazines
because they want to keep
everyone ah
but wait you're saying something
important here it's not the
article it's
the headline what is always the
headline
I mean but the clicks their
analytics
are on the clicks and the
clicks are
gonna be on the headlines not
on the
story and we don't know if
someone
necessarily read the story
doing in
their newsroom analytics big
board this
thing called charts stat or
whatever it
is they're some I don't know
what these
systems do anymore uh-huh but I
would
assume they probably emphasize
headline
writing and that's where his
writing is
so important gotta be you know
but it's
always been that way except you
never
got the feedback and and and it
wasn't
it so encouraged not everybody
can write
good headlines that's when for
most
writers the headlines aren't
written by
the writers there tend to be
written by
the editor right and even
though some
editors cannot write very good
headlines
either some can write fabulous
headlines
but very few this is not this
is what
this is needle watching this
like again Max Headroom where
if you
remember that movie event
especially the
movies much better than the TV
show was
good rent that movie if you've
never
seen it it it's like real time
TV where
they just you know the ratings
are in
real time so there's a meter
going on
constantly you talk about
something else
and then the meter goes up talk
about
something else that goes I'm
higher and
then it starts dropping off
you're fired
and not the tutor own horn but
I think
our analytics so that are the
only ones
that are really truthful and
honest and
that's why we're transparent
about them
if if we can't we don't get
enough
support to pay rent then we're
not doing
it we're then we're doing
something
wrong is that simple so let's
play her
on that they're talking about
the what
model works for the news
business and
there's a there's a kind of a
fundamental mistake made here
by the
interviewer what's her name
Vivian
eventually she jumped she jumps
I mean I
can see why she jumped to this
conclusion but what Jill said
and what
Vivian assumes and what Jill
then
confirms kind of misses the
major point
which I'm going to point out
I'm 709
million in earnings repeat it's
extraordinary
do you think that is a model
that can
work for other for newsroom I
wish I I
wish I did too
the the problem is that only
news
companies that do journalism at
the
highest quality levels and MIT
you know
publish stories that you can't
find
anywhere else the model will
work but
you think it's only a matter of
quality
no wait a minute what are they
saying
now they're talking about what
model
works for the news business
because the
New York Times said 708 or some
700
million dollars plus in digital
subscriptions asking her what
does that
model would that my is it
possible that
everyone can make this kind of
money and
she says no so you wouldn't
listen to
the whole clip again you know
and she's
because we you know we do
something
other papers can't do which is
we have a
big damage then they do they
have a
large staff of people and they
dig in
things a little more and they
have
bureaus all over the place and
smaller
places can't do that they're
probably
gonna all die but there's a
mistake
being made in here so play the
whole
clip again okay hold on shoot
hold on a
second oh yes model here we go
I'm seven
hundred nine million in
earnings repeat
it's extraordinary
do you think that is a model
that can
work for other for news I wish
I I wish
I did too
the problem is that only news
companies
that do journalism at the
highest
quality level and MIT you know
publish
stories that you can't find
anywhere
else the model will work but
you think
it's only a matter of quality
oh I see
so it's only because they're so
incredibly good no no what it
was is
what Jill answered was the
reasons were
is because of high quality and
things
you can't find elsewhere right
exclusive
Ian says oh do you think it's
only
because of high quality no
that's not
what Abrams said Abramson
that's not
what she said she said high
quality and
entry and information that
can't be
found elsewhere right well it's
the
information that why would it
be what's
its information that can't be
found
elsewhere that's the key to
this the
qualities are secondary
yeah the joke of it is all the
information that the New York
Times has
that can't be found elsewhere
comes from
multiple people familiar with
the
situation and people who would
not call
which is probably not the the
bad
sourcing okay fact if you your
point
actually makes the the high
quality
thing take a backseat because
high
quality is not saying oh this
guy
according to sources we think
this guy
we think that we're having
people make
stuff up like that editorial
hmm so
that's quality that the New
York Times
is not great but what's great
would
what makes it makes it all work
is that
they do have stories you can't
find
anyplace else yeah they're bull
crap but
they did the paywall made it
work
because the Wall Street Journal
has a
lot of reporters digging up
stuff you
can't find anyplace else the
quality you
damned it's not about the
quality it's
just about the exclusive of the
stories
which could also just be
playing into
your own little bias bubble but
that's
there for some reason she had
it in her
mind it had to be quality
quality
quality right the most quality
high
quality stuff you know you want
high
quality stuff go buy a book
yeah that's
your high quality right there
okay so
let's go this is the last one
this is
where I think she got fired I
mean she
bitched about not getting
enough money
but I think this last one the
native
says natus the native ads
summary on
Jill is Howard this is this is
the
problem that the New York Times
has
digital world that we're living
in today
which brings some advantages
much is
getting lost and at risk is is
that
journalistic ethics has become
compromised is that did I get
that right
or more complicated or
compromised there
are certain things where I
think there's
been a compromise but they
aren't things
that are directly tied to the
news
reports of these places
themselves it
has more to do with something
called
native advertising or branded
advertising and so talk about
what that
is in case what that is is
advertising
that very closely mimics the
publication
or video that the advertising is
appearing next it may be
advertising
like in the the New York Times
or The
Washington Post that has a
byline
and you know and the quality is
very
good it's just and and it is
identified
at the times they called them
paid pose
I had wanted when this was under
discussion at the times and I
didn't
want to do any native
advertising but
that was going to be about all
right
there it is
I wanted a label you know the
little
label to say I ad or
advertising so what
bothers me about that is you
know there
has been no scam doll about
these ads so
far I worried there there might
be but
well there is it is something
that could
sow confusion in the minds of an
audience or readers and you
know there
are the people I care most
about that's
true of the mistakes I've made
I mean
it's my readers who I really
owe and I'm
sorry - yes what you got fired
so do you
think these 700 million dollars
is just
subscriptions or does that
include
native advertising which of
course it
excludes lots of native small
advertising God need you but
they make
it sound like I read the you
know the
news about this they make it
sound like
haha we've got digital we've
got digital
subscribers baby this is we're
making
Bank we we've cracked the nut
we know
what's going on but that money
is also
coming from native ads you want
to read
article in The New York Times
and you've
run out of your gut your floor
of the
limit you get free for a month
and then
for free a month right you go
to a
private browser just click on
private
browser on your browser and
then put the
URL in there you'll be able to
read it
fine well there's also all
kinds of I
think even Safari will do this
you can
say oh yeah I just want to ease
II to
read screen version and it will
actually
bypass the paywall in many
cases it does
that for WAP oh okay so let's
listen to
the two ISOs I've got the first
one well
before we go to the ISOs let me
remind
everybody a Vivian Schiller
since we're
talking about advertising and
native
advertising when she was still
the boss
of NPR here's what she said
okay moving on to money how are
NPR's
corporate underwriting revenues
holding
up in the recession and what
about
foundation grants two different
stories
underwriting is corporate
underwriting
is is down it's down for
everybody I
mean this is this is the this
is the
area that is most down for us
this is in
isn't sponsorship underwriting
advertising call it whatever
you want
we'll call it advertising if
you don't
mind Vivian because that's what
it is
that's your PBS so okay we got
two two
of them here one is Jill rake
over to
rake over I remember that in
the piece
it sounded just like it right
you have another I so yeah this
one's
under Abramson this is Abramson
Abrams
you just play this one you'll
crack up
sorry my voice is getting a
little
froggy I'm sorry I like the
other one
better the rake over yeah this
is this
is a dynamite for end of show
Isis a
rake over good job you did get
up early
this morning to do some work I
appreciate it oh man you know
that whole
last segment would have been
half as
long if it wasn't for the vocal
fry' hey
we had the big
Samsung Galaxy S 10 5g
introduction the
other day yeah yeah you want to
hear a
little bit of what's what this
5g is
gonna bring us how fantastic
this is
going to be are you excited are
you
pumped are you ready for five g
5g are
you ready I'm getting tinnitus
already
we've talked a lot today about
the
future a future where our
smartphones
are more than just smartphones
by the
way this introduction of
Samsung it was
it was more flashy than I've
ever seen
from Apple they had somehow the
the the
whole state and was huge
till stage the the sides of the
stage
the the floor the back
everything was
one giant screen which I guess
Samsung
stopped for a second
Apple has kind of frozen in
time yes
from and I won't even say it's
the last
of the Steve Jobs presentations
but if
the presentations done in the
90s late
80s and 90s is pretty far as it
Apple
ever went and everything since
then has
been derivative it's the same
you know
the black the black turtleneck
you can
walk it out you bring a couple
of slobs
out to talk about something or
other
yeah it's just it's dated it's
very
dated
yeah well this president this
presentation is also dated in
that way
particularly because it's the
big
fanfare it's all of the flashy
stuff
it's the other screen on the
stage but
then the guy who's presenting
is just
some numbnut VP you know like
he has no
real stage presence but it
doesn't
matter because it's 5g it's
going to
change the world
a future led by a generation
that
expects more from their
technology they
expect more from their
technology a
future where all our devices
including
the ones we wear are seamlessly
connected oh yes but to make
that future
possible we need one more
essential
element what could that be a
next-generation mobile network
that
network and the key to our
connected
future is 5g back in the day
first
generation networks basically
let us
make phone calls without the
cords
second generation networks
introduced
mobile data and that touchiered
in an
era of texting it changed the
way we
communicate 3g made connecting
to the
internet on the go a reality it
made
mobile email and web browsing
the new
norm and over the last decade
4G paved
the way for new app economy the
rise of
social media and streaming
music and
video oh I can't wait what will
5g bring
us my goodness it must be just
it's
gonna be mind-blowing each
network
evolution has been accompanied
by mobile
revolution and 5g rep
our biggest step forward yet
first off
it'll be faster than any
network we've
ever seen Oh faster John it'll
be faster
what can that possibly mean
roughly 20
times faster oh my god
then 4G second it'll be capable
of just
a millisecond of latency which
is the
amount of time between an
action and a
reaction well this sounds like
I need to
have it and that opens the door
for some
incredible new possibilities oh
my god
what can we do with this like
remote
surgery cloud gaming and
autonomous
driving well that's the future
right
there everybody I need one
immediately
cloud gaming autonomous
vehicles and
remote surgery maybe it should
be in the
other order its cloud gaming
autonomous
vehicles and then you'll need
some
remote surgery after all of
that kills
you in third place stress yes 1
million
devices per square kilometer
that's 10
times more than what's possible
today
soon network congestion will be
a thing
of the past
a network congestion I thought
net
neutrality solved but already
ah it'll
be a thing of the past err
that's 10
times more than what's possible
today
soon network congestion will be
a thing
of the past
5g will change everything it'll
enable
us to connect and communicate in
entirely new ways he doesn't
really say
how but they keep promising
it'll
empower creators and innovators
to bring
to life ideas we never thought
possible
Oh John just imagine what you
and I
could do if only we had more
speed and
more blessed you and I you you
and I
will be able to do things we
never
envisioned before with our show
and it's
true it won't happen overnight
Oh No why
did he say yes it's true he's
because he
responding to very good catch
he's an
imaginary person no he's
responding to
those douche bags on no agenda
who are
playing his clip that's
interactive this
is what you can do with 5g you
can
respond to clips in real time
it'll enable us to connect and
communicate in entirely new
ways it will
empower creators and innovators
to bring
to life ideas we never thought
possible
and it's true it won't happen
overnight
it'll be step by step the whole
intern
has been laying the groundwork
for 5g
for decades
Samsung we've helped lead the
way all
right so this is talking about
five
decades so decades meaning more
than one
or two decades twenty years ago
they
were doing 5g well this is a
product
launch so he's totally full of
crap but
5g is the hip term that
everyone's
talking about so hip in fact
that CBS
was able to grab the founder of
Huawei
yes we continue with the guy
whose name
we can't pronounce with more
incredibly
innovating information about 5g
in the
5g networks and in this CBS
this morning
piece they went all out G is
the latest
high-speed mobile innovation
promising
to multiply wireless internet
speeds and
increase coverage now we are
rolling out
5g and soon we'll welcome 6g
got a lot
of grief from people for us
laughing
about Trump saying 5 g 6 g and
you know
listen yeah yes there will be
6g and
there will be 7g but this is
bullshit 5g
isn't really even a thing yet
we haven't
really agreed in the entire
industry as
to what that exactly is going
to be so
it's easy to say 6g but it
doesn't mean
anything about 5g and soon
we'll welcome
six genes and in the future as
I said
there will be new equipment
that is
suitable for the United States
but US
intelligence agencies are
concerned
about Huawei's 5g growth former
CIA
acting director Michael Morell
that
wasn't very closely to it Mike
Morell
says so he's trying to tell us
that the
danger of a 5g Network rolled
out on
Huawei machinery
would be very dangerous to our
national
security but what he says is a
little
more egregious about huawei's
5g growth
former CIA acting director
Michael
Morell 5g is going to allow a
much
larger number of devices to be
connected
to the Internet when you
connect more
devices you create more
platforms from
which an intelligence service
can spy
from the Trump administration
so he
doesn't say the Chinese no he's
talking
about himself or his former his
former
agency he's admitting it right
there 5g
we can spy easier on you yeah
that's
exactly what are you saying act
more
devices you create more
platforms from
which an intelligence service
can spy
from the Trump administration
has warned
its allies that it may
reconsider its
military relationships with
countries
that use Huawei I'd hadn't
heard this
actually yeah like he's trying
5g Huawei
machines to NATO or something
like if
you use Huawei and then we
won't protect
you
yeah something like that nice
well
coming young cook first of all
I would
like to thank them because they
are
great figures 5g was not known
by common
people but now these great
figures are
all talking about 5g and we're
becoming
more influential er and getting
more
contracts a little bit of
sarcasm there
oh please tell them I'm actually
thanking them for promoting us
they've
been regarding 5g as the
technology at
the same level of the some other
military equipment 5g is not an
atomic
mom warnings from the Trump
administration some of our
European
allies including Germany and
the UK are
reportedly considering allowing
Huawei
to build their high-speed
infrastructure
for Ren and despite all the
criticism
from the administration he
knows his
company's future in America
isn't
president's hands he speak very
highly a
president Trump yet he is
likely to
issue an executive order
banning your
company from doing any business
in the
United States how do you square
the two
what are they well we have
never had
many sales in the United States
but we
didn't give up our efforts in
this
country guys okay I mean he's
I'd like
his attitude about it's like pie
I don't care but as far as I
know
everyone in Europe is going
with Huawei
they're not they're not backing
down
Germany's not backing down
because it's
cheaper a lot what I did find
quite
humorous was after coming out
of this
package Gail there on CBS this
morning
do you recall the the huawei
founders
name again we talked about it
the last
show no what was your take on
mr. Huawei
because and no one blinked an
eye okay
mr. Huawei
it's almost kind of racist
I'm just saying well then she's
the
racist there you go um I don't
get the
the appeal for example I think
morels
you know when he says it just
gives you
more ways to Spanish you you
mentioned
this you put your little
piehole up and
then you walk past the nesting
and then
starting sending signals you
just walk
past me yes well we had him
located he's
in these he's in the bedroom
now yeah
why does anybody I mean I don't
get it
why does anybody think that
this is a
good idea to have your house so
wired
and I've written about this
where I
believe they've great hacks of
the
future are gonna be somebody
who find
somebody with all you know a
completely
automated house turning their
lights on
and off turning the heat up to
90 and
then opening closing and
opening and
closing perpetually opening and
closing
the garage door oh that's
already
happening yeah well I mean this
is what
you dude it just seems to me
this would
be this would be the target if
I was the
one
those kids bored bored high
schoolers
that knew how to do all this
stuff and
you know I would be dude that's
what I'd
be doing well I talk to a lot
of the
kids at the I think I'm hacking
I talked
to a lot of the kids at the
wedding that
we were at cuz you know we were
definitely the old fogies in
the room
these kids don't care you don't
care
they just don't care they don't
care
what it is they don't care
about the
spine they don't care about the
access
they don't care they don't care
they
don't care it doesn't matter
what you
say that this it's a shrug like
yeah
whatever yeah I get the same
thing from
my older millenials yeah and
it's it's
well it's alright kids will be
here when
you're really down imagine all
the
people who could do

folks for
producing show one one one five
yes
thank you very much that we we
have
another show next Thursday yes
well
thank you it is it is highly
appreciated
that's interesting how we get
we're
still seeing execs and
associate execs a
lot heavier on the list
actually yeah
did a lot of people's credit
cards
expired and it all ends oh by
the way my
credit card got jacked of
course that
always happens when you're when
you're
on the road how do you guys
they wear it
got jackets no well I think the
well
just in the timeline of when it
happened
is when we landed in st. Louis
it was
the only time I handed my card
to
somebody it wasn't in a reader
and that
was at Dunkin Donuts so that
could be
the only moment when maybe
someone
grabbed it there but you know
do you
have any ideas for the show too
what's connected to the credit
card this
is a nightmare yeah I mean
servers and
you know subscriptions and
software
stuff it's just although it
does give
you a chance to to pare down on
things
it's just when stuff breaks and
that's
because of a non-payment or they
couldn't process the payment
and then
they can't get ahold of you and
then
they turn stuff off that becomes
annoying yeah it's really
disappointing
anyway yes I want to thank
everyone who
supported the show for today
1115 also
those who came in under $50
either for
reasons of anonymity or fear on
one of
our subscriptions thank you
very much
for your courage this is our
value for
value system whatever you think
the show
is worth that's what we'd like
to
receive from you for many

want to
talk about credit cards and
they have
been stolen this still works as
far as I
know I was told this at Alette
so I heard from the then CEO of
American
Express and I did people can
try it and
then the trick is if you wanna
get your
card pulled out of the blue you
you buy
two tanks of gas don't you buy
it I know
this one of gas and then
another tank
full of gas and then and then
I'm
supposed to buy sneakers then
you go buy
sneakers yeah okay done all
done your
car will get pulled instantly
because
it's believed that a lot of
kids who who
steal a credit card the first
thing you
do is fill up their car and
then they
fill up their buddy's car and
then they
go get some expensive sneakers
at Foot
Locker well what they did are
my card is
the first thing you know I get
text
messages immediately and it
says Oh
fraud alert we have to text yes
or no so
did you buy something from AMD
PO for
$18 like hey I don't know I
mean did I
buy anything online so I go
looking
ammunition ammunition depot I'm
like mm
no I probably but I actually
said no
just to make sure like 18 bucks
you
don't cuz I know what happens
the minute
you say yes your card is frozen
they
stop it and you got to go
through the
whole rigmarole so I'm like now
it's
okay yeah then it's oh did you
buy $150
worth of makeup from L'Oreal
I'm like
okay no this is not me and and
when I'm
on the phone with the fraud
detection
lady she said oh oh there's all
this
like five charges coming in
she's
rolling in one after another so
what
they do is they they test the
card so
that 18 dollars from the online
a.m.
Depot that was actually
refunded which
tells them that the a.m. Depot
people
may be complicit in the scam
it's like a
whole bunch of stuff going on
with that
betty way cash for adam here is
that a
good trick and I'm lucky
because you
know at some places these days
you can't
even pay with cash anymore and
I think
we've been following the
legislation
that has been going on
regarding this
and it looks like some states
actually
want to make it to want to
outlaw card
only businesses there's a lot of
restaurants and other business
that want
to go cash
Plus John Longstreet is the
president
and CEO of the Pennsylvania
restaurant
and Lodging Association
do you see an upside to cash
flow
absolutely because places that
handle
cash or less safe than those
that don't
have cash on hand
everything is reported directly
into the
accounting system taxes are
paid whereas
in a cash society Texas aren't
always
paid what he doesn't say is
that the
most employee wait stop how
does the
other was what he's talking
about is
skimming or money laundering or
how does
that make you less safe or well
depends
it's about safety and then he
says you
don't pay your taxes but the
question is
safety of who he's talking
about this
he's talking about the store
owners that
they're safe from their
employees
messing up Millennials can't
count
stealing money cash
disappearing that's
what he's saying it's not about
you the
consumer it's about the
business owner
no see
and now he talks about
consumers no it's
about the it's about the retail
owner
that's for you for their safety
screw
the consumer and they're and
they're
asking for it cash is not
accepted it
blinky asking for it was asking
for it
who's asking for what we
consumers don't
want cash yeah that's true I
really
believe that to be true
yes you know but I mean does it
include
me but it's the majority of
this the
same people who don't care
about privacy
are it get very antsy when
they're
standing behind you and you pay
cash and
someone has to make change and
they're
like I can't you just swipe it
it's so
much easier for everybody move
the line
use to it to us well and
they're and
they're asking for it cash is
not
accepted its own Lane coffee
and it's
sweet green the salad chain
together
they have six stores in
Philadelphia
nationwide dost tauros dig in
and tender
greens now refuse paper money
reportedly
milk bar Starbucks Amazon
Walmart and
Shake Shack have experimented
cashless stores recently and
that trend
worries Philadelphia councilman
Bill
green lady arguing give a cup
of coffee
I can get it because I have a
credit
card but the person behind me
that
doesn't have a credit card is
told they
can't get a cup of coffee that
something
doesn't seem right about that
according
to the federal government more
than 14
million Americans don't have
bank
accounts that makes getting
credit cards
difficult a recent surveys of
the Pew
Research Center found that 34
percent of
black people 17% of Hispanics
and 29% of
people earning less than
$30,000 rely on
cash this is the part that I
like the
most any store that is going
cashless is
racist and they need to be told
that
they are racist because you
don't hear a
single politician about this no
do you
that it's racist don't like it
I like it
racist for all or just about
all of
their purchases if it's not
discrimination it's the lead
ISM I think
government does have a place to
protect
people from being treated fairly
Councilman Greenlee has
introduced a
bill that will find businesses
in
Philadelphia up to $2,000 if
they don't
accept cash similar laws had
been
proposed in New York City
Chicago in
Washington DC a statewide ban on
cashless stores is awaiting the
governor's signature in New
Jersey and
Massachusetts has required
retailers to
accept cash since 1978 there
you go well
good how about a Venezuela
update I have
one you have the one from
Saturday all
right let's go the National
Guard tear
gassed protesters from both
venezuela
and colombia who tried to reach
bridges
between the two countries the
clashes
happen in the bordering cities
of Aranea
in Venezuela and cúcuta in
Colombia on
the Colombian side of the
bridges
opposition protesters tried to
escort
trucks with emergency food and
medical
aid into Venezuela using what
leaders
call a humanitarian Avalanche
on the
Venezuelan side of the border
the
Venezuelan National Guard
injured more
than two dozen people as
protesters set
fire to buses earlier
opposition leader
Juan Y dou appear
in cucuta with the presidents of
Colombia and Paraguay and
called on
troops and supporters of Maduro
to allow
the aid into Venezuela the New
York
Times is Andy's bureau chief
Nicholas
Casey joins us now from cúcuta
Colombia
via Skype so basically the
opposition's
been trying to get food passed
nicolas
maduro x' blockade at the
borders and
they haven't been able to
they've
amassed hundreds of people on
some of
the bridges that looks like
it's been
thousands but Maduro has been
pretty
strict about not letting the
full number
of eight shipments get in
nicolas maduro
this afternoon's severed
basically all
diplomatic and political ties
with
colombia he's saying look this
is a
staging ground for violence
against
Venezuelans and this is huge
because
Colombia and Venezuela have
been at
loggerheads many times before
they've
even had troops on their
borders during
hue of Chavez this time and for
Maduro
to come out and withdrawal the
diplomats
severing ties to the country
right next
to you is a big deal now from
what I
understand at least I got that
from the
intercepted podcast with the
Jeremy
Scahill
or Scahill is that the you know
that
bridge they say Maduro is
keeping
blocked off that that bridge
has never
been open and there's another
bridge a
couple of miles south or north
that is
open for business but for some
reason
they're they're kind of staging
this
protest at this bridge that has
never
actually been functionally
working well
to be honest about it I think
that the
New York Times reporter who was
there
that was given the last part of
that
report on PBS yeah would have
mentioned
that if it's you know they
could maybe
they tried that earlier or
maybe it was
who knows but I'm a part of
that whole
group that thinks this whole
thing is uh
you know is a coup is a scam
well is it
cool well normally normally
when you
want to do something like this
when you
need to distract and get this
going who
do you call
Cluny you get some distraction
[Music]
I'm sad to report that this
jingle will
not be played very often in the
future
it seems like Clooney is out
but we have
a new guy in none other than
Richard
Branson so what we hope is to
draw
attention to what's going on in
Venezuela and to get much much
needed
relief supplies into Venezuela
and we're hoping that this
wonderful the
happy free concert will result
in the
soldiers on this bridge opening
opening
the bridge and hopefully
tomorrow
allowing allowing supplies into
the
country Richard Branson has
called it to
put on a free concert at the
border in
Colombia yeah interesting
strategy it's
going to be streamed live hey
man we
made it work for Live Aid we can
probably do it again
where's Bob where's bob geldof
and i got
a a well of course the the guy
behind
this is the neocon supreme in
the in the
White House still very confused
what
he's doing there walrus face
John Bolton
we're in conversation with major
American companies now that are
either
in Venezuela we're in the case
of Citgo
here in the United States I
think we're
trying to get to the same end
result
here you know Venezuela is one
of the
three countries I called the
troika of
tyranny it'll make a big
difference to
the United States economically
if we
could have American oil
companies really
invest in and produce the oil
capabilities in Venezuela there
you go
what he's getting out of this
he's not
beat well you see what happened
looks
like he's not mentioned in any
sex human
trafficking massage parlor
schemes we do
have the human trafficking
things
getting is picking up again
with Julie
Brown from the Miami Herald
talking
about the Epstein thing also
that also
the Kraft guy getting busted
well let's
play the craft busted thing
because I
think this is funnier I think
if there's
something interesting happening
here
back in this country police in
Jupiter
are charging the owner of the
New
England Patriots football team
Robert
Kraft with soliciting
prostitution they
say that he was captured on
camera at an
illicit massage parlor as part
of a
crackdown on sex trafficking
the charge
is a misdemeanor the 77 year
old craft
denied any wrongdoing today is
this Judy
Judy's charge is a misdemeanor
what are
they making such a national
case well
because I'll tell you I it's be
cut
first of all it's craft so he's
buddies
with Trump this is Florida
because they
keep me yes and this is very
close to
Mara Lago we have the Epstein
thing
bubbling under people are
positioning
that they can't come out and say
anything just yet but this human
trafficking thing is what it's
getting a
almost ignored because of you
know some
guy there getting a handjob
from from a
massage parlor worker what what
I think
is interesting is these are all
Chinese
run Chinese operated the the
massage
therapists are Chinese I mean
this is a
huge network in my opinion you
might be
right and you might be right
and it's
just oh and it's all that's
lacking on
the outside of these massage
massage
places is you know happy ending
guaranteed otherwise it's
alright it's
being advertised almost on the
on the
front door and they make a big
deal out
of this guy but how about what's
actually happening the Chinese
are
taking by the way this Chinese
all over
des moines there's a Chinese
pizzeria it
went there yesterday is pretty
interesting it's complete
Chinese motif
and they got three of them in
Iowa it's
called false pizza take one is
right
around the corner pretty good
we just
had the head luckily on the
menu just a
regular kind of pizza but you
can get
all kinds of crazy stuff on
your pizza
and and I we took a few
Uber's and i'm asking you this
fun pizza
what's that
chow fun Choa Choa fun no this
is a joke
I'm missing so fun yeah I'm
sorry well
let's play catch up with
Epstein then
they got the Julie brown on PBS
she's
don't want to wrote the article
in the
Miami Herald she brought it
back to the
fore and they asked her about
how why
she did it and all the rest and
you have
to wonder because there's
another things
going on in Florida boggles the
mind
though why it took so long to
come to
light so just start there tell
us how
did you first learn about this
story why
did you start to dig at it the
way you
did well you know the pieces of
this
story that the outline of this
story had
been known for many many years
a lot of
journalists had written about
this deal
sort of scratching their heads
about how
could something like this
happen and
when Alexander Acosta the Miami
US
attorney in Miami was nominated
by
President Trump last year as
labor
secretary or in 2017 rather as
labor
secretary I sort of wanted to
hear what
he was going to say when he
would be
asked about this case and I was
kind of
astonished that he wasn't asked
much
about it at all and the answers
that he
did get give really did weren't
responsive to the questions he
was asked
and so I thought you know it's
been a
long time this was before the
me2
movement but I kept thinking I
wonder
what these victims these girls
at the
time they were 13 14 15 now in
their
late 20s and 30s are thinking
about the
fact that he has advanced so
far in his
career after in essence in
their minds
betraying them so I said about
trying to
find out who these victims were
and
eventually convinced just a
handful of
them quite frankly to go public
but I
spoke to many more than a
handful of
them and the details that they
share in
those interviews with you are
just so
incredible jaw-dropping and the
consistencies across so many of
their
stories I want to share
actually just a
quick piece of one interview
from one of
the women you interviewed her
name is
Virginia Roberts
here's what she told you used
to happen
at Epstein's house
okay it stopped there yeah the
thing
that guy there's a reason I
wanted to
stop Darren I can't remember
what that
reason was well let me take it
from here
for a second what I think this
is about
and we've been you know the
Lolita
Express and Epstein and how the
the
judges you know let Epstein off
with a
very very light sentence for
effectively
being a pedophile effectively I
don't
know if that would he actually
had to
agree to that this is all about
Trump
they desperately desperately
desperately
want to take down Trump even if
it means
they hate to have to take down
Bill
Clinton possibly Hillary
Clinton and I
think the one thing in the mix
is the
constitutional lawyer who is
also
accused of being involved in
this
Epstein
child scandal dersu is and I
think
they're afraid because
Dershowitz is is
threatening continuously
whenever he's
on television if they let him on
television he's saying huh go
ahead
please please get some stuff
going
because I will sue all of you
but that's
this is it's it's all happening
in this
around this one area it's all
mar-a-lago
it's all about Trump they want
to nail
this guy I don't think they can
he may
actually not be complicit
although
evidence suggests otherwise
flight logs
etc I think that's what this is
about
I'm not this all happening in
Florida
and I think the craft thing is
part of
it mm-hmm but let's listen to
what one
of the women saying this is
what brings
more questions than answers
sexual abuse
and intercourse and then a pat
on the
back you've done a really good
job like
you know thank you very much
and here's
$200 you know before you know
it I'm
being lent out to politicians
and to
academics and people that you
boil tea
and people that you just you
would never
think like how did you get into
that
position of power in the first
place if
you're this disgusting evil
decrepid
person on the inside
Julie women like Virginia lived
for over
a decade knowing that the US
Attorney
Alex Acosta in this case
declined to
prosecute the man who
use them when you first
approached them
were they willing to talk to
you no I
would know that was probably
the hardest
part trying to convince them to
trust me
because a lot as I mentioned
there has
been a lot written about the
case they
have never really spoken
publicly
because quite frankly they felt
that
their story really had never
been told
so part of what I did was I I
did some
homework on it I interviewed I
some
sexual assaulted survivors and
some
counselors to try to prepare me
not to
interview them in such a way as
to get
to the root of their trauma
without
reach Ramat izing them which
was you
know a delicate balance has she
done
actually more because this they
started
writing this I was a couple
months ago
and she done extra stuff that
we haven't
read before is there any new
revelations
or she just nice I think so I
think it's
just recyclers story along its
recycling
right yes we're looking at it
well then
there's a couple of things that
came to
mind one is that she says
there's a lot
of royalty yes Prince the
prince from
Monaco I believe the bald guy
yeah I
think some Brits yeah business
guys in
politicians way you know I two
things
one she should name names
mm-hmm and I
don't know why that hasn't
happened ah
and if she doesn't name names I
mean she
should name names for the one
sole
reason not to get killed
because she's
holding these names back uh
seems to me
yeah well I think these women
have their
lives at risk if they don't
name names
and get it out of the system
and say hey
I already died and I can't stop
me now
cuz I already did it
that kind of thing I don't know
what the
logic is well but in the
articles I've
read it you know the the the
Monaco
Prince Albert I guess it was
albert
bizalbert I think it was Albert
and you
know there's continuous
as inertia which stories yeah
and and
and these are the these these
now women
are saying that these are these
are the
guys that they serviced so I
don't know
I'd still think it's all about
Trump
they just want to get it does
it has
about Trump it's gotta get rid
of this
guy for some reason I'd like to
know
what is the real reason SIA
money it is
the unknown money launderer I
mean which
was the possibility since he's
a real
estate guy honest of money
laundering
mechanism that is pretty hard
to do
anything about I don't know or
you could
just go all the way with these
move
which i think is total bullshit
but
played Trump is the Russian
asset
Clippers clapper I must have
missed this
during my travels do you agree
with
Andrew McCain as possible that
the
president of United States the
president
is a Russian asset
well the way I completely agree
with the
way Andy characterized it you
know that
it is a possibility and I would
add to
that caveat that whether
winning or
unwitting and that is a really
painful
thing this is his favorite word
witting
or unwitting I think was
wittingly when
he was asked if he's if the is
NSA spied
on the American people his
answers worth
no not wittingly
what is this wittingly word he
likes to
use what does wittingly
actually mean
means knowingly or unknowingly
now there
was he knows he is or he
doesn't know he
is but he is alright well I
find it an
odd word that what a winning or
unwitting and that is a really
painful
thing to to say but I believe
the the
FBI was institutionally
obligated to do
what it did and that is to
investigate
and to initiate an
investigation and if
you go back you know the long
view here
of
the behavior of the candidate
Trump and
then President Trump and his
deference
to the Russians and
specifically is
particularly his personal
deference to
Putin and his exhortation about
the
emails in July of 16 and then
calm all
these developments culminating
in in the
firing of director Comey which
he
acknowledged was because of the
the
Russian investigation so yeah I
do agree
as amazing and stunning and
depressing
as as that is that's nothing
did you did you hear Michael
steal his
accusation against the
president no this
is fantastic
we had a there was a know if it
was a
six-week cycle and we don't
really know
exactly all the details other
than the
FBI bravely stopped a white
nationalist
from killing news people and
celebrities
and he had a an arsenal of
weapons did
he no yes
he had an arsenal of weapons
and and he
had a spreadsheet and on that
we've snow
stretch we've not seen any
spreadsheet
we've seen we've seen some guns
which
looks like honestly any one of
our No
Agenda producers in the Midwest
would
probably have this arsenal it
wasn't you
know it's not all that huge but
okay the
guy had some guns and
immediately whole
lot doe giveaway is were they
all
different guns because good
dura gun
collectors out there you go out
shootings with these people
would
attract a lot of friends
because it's
fun to go shoot with a gun
collector
they got all these different
kinds of
guns well that's a good
question some
guys got a distant of that now
this and
he's got a bunch of different
guns
what's what's the point it's
not an
arsenal for shooting anybody
it's just a
collection of guns he likes to
shoot
well so I don't know all we
know is that
the story was we got this guy
luckily we
got him way before he was able
to act
out on his spreadsheet and that
and that
was the story now you didn't
even hear
about this did you
no Thomas but of course what is
the
problem here is when you have a
white
nationalist who apparently was
going to
kill people
as president you immediately
that like
within 10 minutes have to
denounce this
if you don't denounce it well
then you
know what you are don't you you
know
you're horrible and white
nationalist
yourself michael steele was the
the the
guy in charge of the Republican
National
Committee and now he's on MSNBC
as a
commentator listen to what he
said about
the president is the black guy
right is
the black guy he listened to
what the P
said about the president not
responding
to this story which you didn't
even hear
about so why would we be
surprised that
a self-proclaimed nationalist
would not
speak out against herself
acclaimed
white nationalist why are we
acting like
this is a space that Donald
Trump is
going to go in on behalf of the
American
ideal no he's not and these are
his
people all right he's not gonna
thank
law enforcement because he's
probably
not happy about what law
enforcement did
you know he's probably not
happy that
law enforcement stopped this
guy from
this white nationalist from
killing
people so the president is not
happy
about that you just just let
that sink
in for a second and then
realize what
Nicole Wallace says I mean I
call the
space where we are where we are
I mean
I'm just pie in the sky and
hopeful that
the next incident Donald Trump
will
actually get it right that he
will have
matured in his presidency
enough to
actually act like a president
that's so
brave of you to say carried out
his
attacks what do you think the
president
would have done that's that's
the that's
the next test in all of this
that is the
accident that's a very good
question and
it's absolutely the next test
because we
don't we consider and honestly
say we
would hope that there would be
the
appropriate level of outrage
and and
pushback and all hands on deck
to your
point about you know the Justice
Department and those responding
but here
we sit and we have the low
question mark
over you little thought bubble
is a
question mark I don't know what
he would
do and
that's the sad spot about all
of this
the president is not happy with
law
enforcement for stopping a white
nationalist from killing people
thank
you thank you thank you Michael
Steele I
feel so much safer now Michael
Steele
does anymore but commentator on
MSNBC
this what he does I guess what
he does
just as a fun little joke
since no one else will do it
the best
podcast in the universe of mine
as well
I'm sure that tonight during
the Oscars
there will be some references
to Jesse
Smollett I have a feeling I
hope not it
kind of got to expect it though
I just
want to remind you when it
turned out
that as far as I haven't seen
any more
updates that Jesse Smollett
orchestrated
this whole hoax by himself
which is an
egregious here's a version as a
shorter
version of what we played on the
previous show what Don Lemon the
overnight sensation had to say
because
of course he doesn't really
know Jesse
you know he's not real he was
on the set
and he accepted the compliments
from
Jesse about how great Don is
but you
know he said really I don't
really
really a friend of mine I don't
really
know I know him not best
friends but I
do know him so I spoke to him
while he
was at the hospital his friend
who was
there texted me in the middle
of the
night and said hey this
happened to
Jesse I called a friend the
friend
happened to be there and he
just sees
that Oh Jesse's here there's a
poem so
he told me in his own words
what he said
happened but I've also got to
tell you
to be quite honest that a lot
of people
including people in the
community which
would mean Don himself people
of color
and gay people had questions
about this
from the very beginning so we
heard his
skeptical skepticism and like
you know
Don like doesn't really know
Jesse but
really people in the community
he's very
skeptical
let's go back a week before
that when
Don Lemon was with Jada Pinkett
Smith
wife of Will Smith and she has
a show
called the red tabletalk which
is where
you have to be real you gotta
you
couldn't sit at the red table
but you
gotta be real you got to be
real you'll
be honest about your
relationship and
this was when we only knew that
Jesse
had been attacked by two white
mega hat
Magga country's trump
supporters and
this is how don talked about
Jesse then
you first heard about the
incident with
Jesse what was your initial
reaction my
initial reaction was sadness
wait must
be wrong I wasn't shocked I
didn't like
that happened to him I called
him
because we have mutual friends
uh-huh I
got the friend on the phone the
friend
talked to me for a minute he
goes that's
this year I'm seeing the doctor
and I
talked to Jesse for a minute
and then he
said I got to go the doctors
here and it
just made me sad so every day I
say I
know you think I'm annoying I
can show
you the text I know you think
I'm
annoying you but I just need
somebody
you can talk to me because
there's not a
lot sometimes he responds it
does he
doesn't respond says you were
not
annoying amazing that's a
different
story
Don was skeptical and the whole
community was skeptical he kept
texting
Jesse saying that I'm here for
you and
you're not alone I'm here for
you hey
terrible yeah well well Bernie
got
finally came out of the closet
shadows
and decided to announce and
there was a
good little rundown on PBS
because they
brought in shields and Brooks
very
interesting observations about
Bernie
and is this the PBS mark we
have a new
entrant Bernie Sanders announced
officially this week he's gonna
run
again not for president but
this time
it's a little different isn't
it there's
a lot different Judy I mean
that but the
very same people who wrote
Bernie
Sanders off in 2015 in our
professional writing them off
again in
2019 Bernie Bernie Sanders is
cranky
Bernie Sanders is not
well-groomed
Bernie Sanders just connects
with voters
I mean in 2050 in the summer
2015
he unsuccessful night in
Portland
Seattle and Los Angeles this is
August
of 2015
drew crowds of twenty seven
thousand
five hundred fifteen thousand
and twenty
eight thousand in two arenas I
mean the
idea of a democratic event in
Los
Angeles is basically dinner at
George
Clooney's house with Steven
Spielberg
and Barbra Streisand's singing
big
events and and Bernie kept it
and I just
point out that he raised 135
million
dollars in small in small
contributions
I mean he he really changed it
he raised
50 million more the Donald
Trump did is
he running as a Democrat is
that is that
known yet is that is he has to
deal with
this democrat socialism thing
so we
don't know don't they have some
kind of
rule change I keep reading
about that
will make it very difficult for
Barney
he's pure Democrat he's gonna
run but
you know whether he gets that
far enough
but I think his point was
well-taken and
I never thought about it much
that the
Democrats don't draw big crowds
because
that wasn't the case with
Roosevelt
that's true well we also never
saw a lot
of the bernie big crowds that
was the
media shows anything so we
never fought
yeah which would have you know
who knows
what would have happened I have
one last
clip okay
which is walls talk the PBS
clip with a
kicker will I veto it 100% 100%
I don't
think it survives a veto we
have too
many smart people that want
border
security so I can't imagine who
could
survive the veto but I will
veto it yes
later in a visit to Laredo
Texas Speaker
Nancy Pelosi said there is no
national
emergency and then mr. Trump
created a
crisis we will be fighting him
on this usurping the power of
violating
the Constitution of the United
States in
the Congress in the courts and
with the
American people so this is a
path that
would not recommend he go down
I don't
expect him to sign it but I do
expect us
to send it meanwhile pentagon
officials
briefed congressional staffers
today on
how they might implement the
president's
order Lisa de Chardin spent
part of the
day of her day at the Pentagon
and she
joins me now so Lisa what are
you
learning about when the
Pentagon plans
to try to implement what the
president
wants I spoke to the same senior
Pentagon officials who briefed
Congress
they told me this right now
they are
assessing exactly what projects
that are
needed at the border they're
working
with the Department of Homeland
Security
on that they think within weeks
they
will have that list then judez
to my
question about timing they said
they
think within months they hope
to be
ready through an expedited
process to
begin some construction so if
they're
going to take this money and
use it to
build a border wall where is it
coming
from well there are two large
parts from
the Department of Defense one
has to
deal with how they fight drug
trafficking right ten u.s. code
