enjoying
all the books on offer in my
city and
broadcasting live from the
frontier of
Austin Texas capital the drone
star
state in the morning everybody
hi Madame Giry from northern
Silicon
Valley where the Democrats all
say ok we
can all go home
you nailed it and that's our
show
ah very good very good I have
to admit I
I did double duty but really
shows for a
different activity last night
sex oh god
I wish no a second best thing I
went out
to dinner with the New York
former New
York banker oh good yeah
yeah it would which you know
it's like
really do you know what I do
you're
gonna take me out on a
Wednesday night
when you know the debates or
watches
debates at the bar debates no
not we
went late they did
oh really that you would
actually it
would have been a very Austin
thing but
he took me to a brand new
restaurant
okay yeah and let me tell you
this is
big outside money coming into
Austin you
look up commodore c om e dor
commodore
in austin this is i don't know
how much
they paid to build this
restaurant it is
cool cor yeah Commodore Austin
yes they
got some like celebrity guys I
guess and
some kind of well-known chef
it's a
Mexican restaurant but it has a
very
specific cook besides it being
you know
total kind of hipster place in
architecture I mean seriously
the way
they built this
you know cool you know they can
open up
the whole side of the
restaurant and
they've got these you know
beautiful
change it looks very steampunk
ish but
there's to be is just a big
brown
building or the one next to it
that's
the building it's the way it's
well it's
brown you see brick in the
front it's
brown
anyway giant they're uh they're
hook is
they serve bugs oh brother
how could how could I pass it
up of
course I did
I had the dance and the
grasshoppers
honestly it was disappointing
because
they have one cuz you know the
the girl
comes over she's like hey help
you with
anything so yeah what has the
grasshopper you know I don't
know that
I've went to one of the better
restaurants in Mexico City and
they had
bugs on the menu well it was
here's the
disappointment weird mold that
you get
off a corn but yes they they
serve that
as well
it's fungus I think well
whatever it is
it's really tasty it's very
tasty I was
disappointed I'm thinking I'm
gonna have
great me I'm gonna see a
grasshopper I'm
gonna have to crunch this thing
in my
teeth these were little baby
grasshoppers like they just
came out of
an incubator little preemies it
was just
a sprinkling on top now you
can't you
couldn't really try to take a
picture it
can't really tell if it's great
to know
maybe maybe was just you could
see it an
odd leg or two but it was a
good cover
for when it gets infested by
cockroaches
and then the ants were on the
dessert on
the ice cream so this charming
sprinkle
little dab which interestingly
the New
York banker turned his nose up
at that
he tried he would uh whereas I
tried him
and I thought hmm
peppery you know their peppery
yeah
so then you did double duty so
you came
back and watched the debates
after the
fact yeah I skimmed through it
yeah this
was I knew this wasn't gonna be
much and
yeah and although for me it was
kind of
interesting to see the the
audio the
technical issues they had I
really felt
bad while everyone's laughing
and if you
know and of course you get
their inner
tit in the wringer
I know it's I know this feeling
there's
a guy and he's pulling his hair
out and
they can't figure out why
they're
routing from the IFB from the
from the
from the control room is
routing through
to the floor and probably in
everyone
else's I have been and by the
way with
these new rigs I don't even
know I don't
know if I could even operate
when they
have this networking system I
already
know it there's a name for it
and
everybody uses it
I was the audio networking yeah
at all
it all runs through there's no
more
cables
no more cables no it's all
either net so
the the routing matrix is
completely
digitized and if it gets I mean
I this
is why I felt bad I couldn't
really sit
they were shot in a Freud
they're going
you suck even though I
understand why
people think it's funny but
from a
professional standpoint I feel
bad some
guys something happened and
I've been
there so many times on this
very show so
I'd you know I uh I did like
the memes
though I did Trump was tweeting
all
kinds of funny memes about and
of course
distract me from anything by
just you
know highlighting the audio
glitch but
everyone on stay almost
everyone on
stage they take themselves so
seriously
and especially MSNBC and Rachel
and and
chip Chuck chod cast the ghosts
of the
bachelors for participating and
democracy Wow please the stupid
little
dog and pony show it's not even
a debate
they can have ten people and
have a
debate have you ever heard that
you you
were a master debater weren't
you in in
school is always a master
debater I've
I masturbate the master view we
go no I
tried start with this you
nailed it
you dropped the ball you
unmailed it and
you went off of your merry way
with
Spacey Abrams what yes I
remember this
it was about a year or maybe
two years
ago yeah we don't know all the
talk are
you suck Astro as the guy the
go-to guy
no incorrect no incorrect
it was Pennebaker the professor
in
Austin when he was accusing me
and my
then future wife of having white
privilege and saying that the
Castro
brothers were going to be the
ones it
wasn't me it was from an Obot
dinner
well you brought it up that's
different
in fact Astro was the guy who
won you
think - oh I disagree I disagree
disagree all you want but every
if you
read anything today this
morning and if
you watch the thing with a
Democrat
perspective or you listen to
the kids
now I'm gonna play some clips
from the
teen panel can I just say one
thing
about Castro briefly last night
the only
thing the banker said the
former banker
said about the debates was well
this
should be Castro's last stand
he should
be out of there by now and I
have no
idea came out of the blue I
didn't
really ask him about anything he
pinpointed Castro as Castro's
got to go
and I'm just taking this intro
for what
it is elite circles etc he's
probably
anti Bank or something gonna
get in
anyway but he's not gonna go
after this
performance he would most
people saw him
as number one and flawless with
the
teens and what is this yeah
what is this
teens panel what's going on
with this
she put together a panel of
teens and
Millennials and they're not all
teens
and Muslim college students but
I'm
calling them teens because it
sounded
like give you an example of the
of the
teen pen here's a comment from
one of
the teeth one of the college
panelists
this is a guy with a probably an
inflamed a MIG deal
Trump hater I'm guessing
confused in
general and I want you to
listen to this
guy and tell me what he said
after after
he played this clip which is
teen panel
weird comments that go nowhere
clip I'm
also very interested in the
preventative
care model that a lot of the
Democratic
candidates that seem to suggest
an area
where we look at the root
causes of the
issue whether that is gun
control their
immigration or health care and
we
noticed that there's a lack of
economic
economic opportunity and
there's also a
lack of care services they're
implemented throughout ones
lifetime
that might result and use really
terrible social issues what was
I
supposed to understand that was
very
very difficult
it was just dropping in memes
and it was
like there was non-stop and he
never
really concluded anything it
was idiotic
but that but that was the group
this is
a bunch of young college kids
and he and
so I got a couple teachers to
here
they're talking about the
Spanish that
was initiated by Castro no Beto
no she
she ated by the bado
said oh well that's why I said
Beto in
the first in the first round of
questions which Bushmen had me
take some
notes on cuz there's a couple
things I
noticed one was amy klobuchar
when they
first turned the camera on her
she was
if you had a 4k TV and you
could had a
good upscaling she was shaking
like a
leaf well I thought Booker's
face was
pretty funny when bento started
doing
that Booker's face like you
know start
speaking Spanish and so then
Booker felt
he had to speak some Spanish
and of
course the only guy who could
really
speak perfect Spanish was
Castro and
then another one that really I
thought
was a pure fail was Tulsi this
is ask
the question right off the bat
her first
question was a very specific
question
and instead of even coming
close to
answering it she goes off on
her on her
creds on her a bio here her you
know her
background and how she went to
the war a
number of times and she's the
only aunt
their war candidate had nothing
to do
with it
so she was out and then the
other thing
I noticed the major thing I
noticed that
this again would be a NBC
staging there
were nobody was using apple
crates so
you you saw a a midget a dwarf
a big
tall dude I mean it was
horrible looking
you know it's interesting you
say that
as I've looked at the shot and
again it
was I didn't get home until
quarter to
ten as I looked at the shot I'm
like
what it something's wrong with
this and
I couldn't quite pinpoint it
but you
just you just nailed it they
they didn't
he equalized the candidates
they didn't
even know but a little bit a
little
something because you got a six
nine guy
there you got another tall dude
Tulsi is
pretty big so she held her own
but you
got a a pretty much a
borderline dwarf
with Klobuchar and then Warren
is a
diminutive she's a pretty woman
so they
needed to put them on a full
crate at
least by the way we're talking
as
television producers here not
as not as
hateful people this is how
television
producers talk yeah by the way I
disagree about Tulsi but we can
get to
that later after you're done
with one of
the losers but but so this is
the kids
talking about this about what
they
thought about them speaking
Spanish what
were some I roll moments cuz I
definitely saw some from you
guys Ariane
I saw a lot from you when Cory
Booker
was talking I saw a couple like
Oh God
from you guys so what were some
of those
things that you weren't so
thrilled
about when bado spoke Spanish
even like
actually I don't want to say I
didn't
like it but I think he like
caught some
people off-guard and you could
see even
some of the other candidates
were a
little shaken up by that so I
thought
that Booker's expression is
trending all
over yeah Twitter I think just
as the
Spanish speaking went on I
thought that
it was great when Bader did it
the first
time but then as it continued
on with
the multiple candidates I
thought
like especially with Booker it
kind of
felt like pandering for some
reason they
just didn't feel this genuine
coming
from him and I just feel like
any
moments that didn't feel as
genuine
coming from the candidates when
we
talked about like wait a minute
let me
ask you a question like is this
like a
white valley girl type like
girl who as
he was talking about pandering
like to
brown people she even allowed
to do that
doesn t of white privilege like
you said
okay Friday me I can't do it his
neighborhood repeatedly I'm in
kind of
the same fashion
typical typical I got a lot of
feedback
from the Millennials about this
they
thought it was they didn't like
it
didn't like any of it and I'm
surprised
I'm like how can you be so
racist just
using their words retaining I'm
sorry
retain debate team I'm sorry
yes I got
it how we often have to try to
balance
it to finding jobs or taking
care of the
environment and seeing what's
gonna
happen in the future
so Elizabeth kind of talked
about on the
Green Deal the green New Deal
kind of
helping those who are within
these and
just dying industries helping
them to
retrain and to newer industries
that way
they're not necessarily losing
their
jobs they are simply moving into
something else I would be able
to help
not only the economy but to be
able to
help the environment so that's
actually
a very interesting perspective
so I want
to talk about this I'm sorry I
played
that clip I should play it
later I would
just retraining this was not
retaining
alright here's the final clip
from these
guys and this is what they
threw they
think well I got two clips from
them
okay this is the team panel
discussion
about the working class did you
get the
specifics on the economic
issues that we
talked about in our before in
the debate
that you were now or I mean
mayor de
Blasio specifically kept
talking about
how he wants to shift the
Democratic
Party back to being the party
of the
working class but never really
gave me
any you know specific policy
solutions
for it and the fact of the
matter is is
that blue-collar America is
happening in
Pennsylvania Ohio Wisconsin
Michigan
those key states at the
president won in
2016 because this message
resonated with
those kinds of voters
blue-collar
America isn't happening as much
in New
York City as it
some places like that and
places you
know like me at home in West
Virginia so
I felt like that you know a lot
of the
candidates sort of talked about
you know
Elizabeth Warren talked about
the poor
people but I felt like it was
more about
you know helping them as poor
people or
not getting them back on their
feet
finding jobs for them and
putting them
into careers where they can
support
their families again well
that's not
that I think that's valid
that's a good
point
that was a very good point all
that all
I ever hear is we'll give you
money
we'll fix your problems with
money don't
worry about anything systemic
we'll fix
it with money well some of
these young
Democrats may be thinking
otherwise and
I think they're these guys are
losing
and that's why they think the
Bernie
appeals so much so less years
there now
this is the finale clip this is
each one
of them saying who they thought
won the
debate
all right guys quick lightning
round who
won tonight in your eyes will
start with
Valentina and go this way
Julian Castro
for actually talking policy for
young
kosterow Castro for the same
reasons Wow
secretary Castro I think Warren
actually
did a good job but I do agree I
thought
Castro stood out as one of the
lesser
known candidates I was actually
very
surprised by mayor de Blasio's
ideas and
his messaging Wow
so Castro kind of stole the
spotlight
and de Blasio came out awesome
thanks
everybody thanks for coming
everybody
don't forget you don't forget
your goody
bag your tote bag your swag bag
on the
way out awesome boys and girls
yeah yeah
the fact that we even have to
somehow
have to have winners is dumb
it's
ludicrous the whole thing
there's no
winner and he puts his funds
and people
on a pensive I want to play
tulsi
gabbard because I've liked her
and this
is if there's any Democrat I've
liked
consistently on this show for
years it's
Tulsi Gabbard and you can call
her a
loser she's a loser in this no
there's
no winners as hold hands tell a
secret
list I think what she did with
the the
Ryan character was that Tim
Ryan Ted
Ryan Fred wine-red Ryan
I think she is she butts land
him good
I've been in Congress 17 years
and 12 of
those years I've sat on the
Armed
Services Committee they're the
Defense
Appropriations Committee or the
Armed
Services Committee and the
lesson that
I've learned over the years is
that you
have to stay engaged in these
situations
nobody likes it it's long it's
tedious
but right now we have so I
would say we
must be engaged in this we must
have our
state department engaged we
must have
our military engaged to the
state to the
extent they need to be getting
a drone
shot down for a hundred and
thirty
million dollars because the
president is
distracted that's a hundred and
thirty
million dollars that we could be
spending in places like
Youngstown Ohio
or Flint Michigan I'm gonna
give you 30
seconds actually to jump off
what he
said tell the parents of those
two
soldiers who were just killed in
Afghanistan well we just have
to be
engaged as a soldier I will
tell you
that answer is on what she just
did
there I think that's the most
powerful
statement she made as a soldier
I'm not
quite sure why Scott Adams
might have a
better idea but when she says
as a
soldier her just the way she
looked on
stage who she is
you go on your head kind of
goes if you
don't know who she is
like uh-oh a soldier and the
search data
and I want to finish this clip
show that
she was the most searched for
named
after the debate even during
some of the
debate like across the country
now it's
a google map so who the hell
knows you
know you can't trust anything
but we'll
just take it as a baseline and
I and I
think that for her overall
awareness if
you know the show's general
consensus is
she's raising her profile to
take over
amazing her own OHS gig I I
thought it
was good and to me this is a
she needs
to do that more often who were
just
killed and
be honest on what we just have
to be
engaged as a soldier I will
tell you
that answer is unacceptable we
have to
bring our troops home from
Afghanistan
we are in a place in
Afghanistan where
we have lost so many lives
we've spent
so much money money that's
coming out of
every one of our pockets money
that
should be going into
communities here at
home meeting the needs of the
people
here at home we are no better
off in
Afghanistan today than we were
when this
war began this is why it's so
important
to have a president
commander-in-chief
who knows the cost of war and
is ready
to do the job on day one I am
ready to
do that job when I walk into
the ocean
out the Ryan is in he had a
look on his
face man he's pissed off so he
does get
30 seconds you felt like she was
refining you get 30 she ate
that I hear
what you're saying thank you
child just
say I don't want to be engaged
I wish we were spending all
this money
in places that I've represented
that
have been completely forgotten
and we
were rebuilding but the reality
of it is
that the United States isn't
engaged the
Taliban will grow and they
won't have
bigger bolder terrorists we
have got to
have some present there is
there long
before we came in yeah
people wanting to Afghanistan
thinking
that we're going to somehow
squash this
Taliban I didn't wash them wash
them
when we weren't in there they
started
flying planes into our
buildings so I'm
just saying I thought that was
fantastic
that was good but anyone could
have done
that cuz the guy's full of shit
that guy
she's a soldier look so he goes
on with
ya the Taliban attack this ok
sure has
done nothing
it takes soldiers over there
bonehead
he's out he's out he's
eliminated
permanently for saying that
I like Tulsi I thought she
finally
brought a little bit of fire
she needs
to dialed up another hundred
percent and
she could go somewhere I'm not
going
anywhere in this election she
is going
into the Senate which is worse
we should
be a good spot this somebody's
got to
get rid of this other woman I
got a
route for somebody well you
should have
routed for your old pal
it's not my old pal Julian and
this and
I find from a from an American
perspective this this it truly
is this
all the Spanish speaking is is
truly I
mean why don't we just speak
some Somali
you know there's a whole bunch
of groups
we can talk to you why doesn't
everyone
just get the ax rosetta stone
and and
bone up on it I mean come on
you I find
it insulting I really do it's
just like
because you I know you're
talking to
you're talking to Americans
you're
talking to a legal immigrants
people who
are in America who are Mexican
Spanish
South American they speak and
understand
English exactly right that is
the reason
I don't see why it doesn't make
it even
more transparent the whole
point of of
letting as many illegals in as
possible
and then speaking in Spanish
yeah
get him to vote you and then
you can
kick him out afterwards this is
the
Kennedy there was a there was a
hilarious there's a hilarious
video on
No Agenda social calm of I
think it was
yeah I think Castro speaking
maybe was
Beto when during his thing and
there's
subtitles which say according
to the
model report no agenda show is
the best
podcast in the universe
I felt I felt pretty left out
and I
understand kind of what he's
saying what
they're saying when they do
this but no
this is just I mean I I could
not
imagine this happening in any
other
country people would be up in
arms
here's like oh oh you speak
Spanish but
I think most Americans are
actually
impressed Wow he speaks another
language
yeah that's odd yeah this is
strange
sound coming from his mouth
maybe
speaking in tongues but yeah in
combination with with
everything about
immigration then it's just it's
clear
what you're doing I mean and
that's one
way of viewing it but ah you
know I've
been rear-ended by by illegals
in Austin
with my truck that is I am
around they
speak English they really do
anyway so
I'm looking at some of the
tweets from
the Democrats and it's funny
how the
Democrats really come out and
they
really take you think they'd be
a little
show business Democrats I'm
talking
about that Hollywood elites
mm-hmm and
they come out they're just you
know
pretty blunt Seth MacFarland
candidates please stop yelling
we are
all on the same side what's the
point of
a debate then yeah exactly
what's the
point
Mia Farrow all the topic being
discussed
by these candidates are
important I feel
proud to be a Democrat little
flag the
banker was saying he said the
interesting take on he says
this is why
I said there's no reason to
watch it he
says what Trump had and what
Trump did
is he took the two issues that
no
Republican would take on at the
time
believe it or not it was
immigration in
China and he just because he
had those
two things which everyone knows
is
common sense everybody all
sides all
Americans and he just yelled
those over
and over again and forced
everybody into
it you'll recall the
immigration debate
was forced by Trump and that's
about
Trump takes credit for it he's
team it
reminds us of that
right before me no one's even
talking
about Justin now everybody's
talking
about how you that's how these
days a
political debate that's how you
get the
points is you've got to choose
something
that no one else really wants
to talk
about and then yell loudly over
everybody else that's what
Trump did he
took two main main issues and
and
therefore he was he was the
winner from
day one on that and just kept
hammering
and hammering and hammering and
everyone
sees the logic of it but
everyone's
afraid I was afraid well
there's also a
number of people who said I
don't
understand why they didn't go
after
Trump more even though they did
a little
bit jay inslee I said he said
something
that negative jay inslee by the
way it
was the guy standing next to
the right
of Tulsi yeah he's the governor
from
Washington State who's Oh
has a one-issue thing drum
pound which
is a climate change mm-hmm and
he he had
a shit-eating grin on his face
from the get-go and he just
kept it
plastered on there so when you
saw the
camera angle with Ruth Tulsi
yakking
about something or even anyone
down the
row and you saw it you didn't
kind of
nicked his face it gonna have
profile
but just the front and you
could see
this dumb smile he had on his
face I
thought it was like so I
mentioned this
to Mimi's no no that's that he
always
has a dumpster resting
bitchface this
stupid anyway I found the whole
thing to
be quite tedious no doubt it
was a
little tedious luckily it was
only two
hours only tonight's will be a
little
now who has the debate tonight
is that
is that CNN is it CNN that that
is
airing that tonight or is it
MSNBC I
think it has to be the same
people so
tonight we have Biden we have
Bernie we
have is Buddha judge on this
one tonight
or Z not is enough no he's on
the mayor
Pete is in trouble man I mean I
don't
know if you followed this the
shooting
in in his town and he's a
hamlet where
he is he is mayor so the only
only about
a hundred thousand people in
the town
and I actually have a little
report
about it but the the main thing
is every
single time they have video and
audio or
anything from Mayor Pete in this
situation he has his head bowed
down he
can't really talk he's almost
like he's
been like he's been gut-punched
and and
I well if you'd listen to this
clip I
have my reasoning as to why he
feels so
downtrodden we have tried but
not
succeeded to increase diversity
in the
police department and we need
help at
home in South Bend Indiana
Buddha judge
was confronted by accusations
of bias in
his city's police force got
racism aside
ago police departments how we
supposed
assessments
I am raising a seven-year-old
grandson
that when he sees the police he
is
afraid that is not what's
supposed to
happen racial tensions flared
last week
after a white South Bend police
officer
shot and killed a black man who
was
allegedly holding a knife
the officer was wearing a body
camera
but it was not turned on if
anyone who
is on patrol is shown to be a
racist or
to do something racist in a way
that is
substantiative that is their
last day on
the street wrong answer mayor
Pete Buda
judge dropped off the campaign
trail
after the shooting last week I
just
think it's my job I don't know
if it's
smarter
I don't know if it's strategic
or not
yeah he's actually upset that
he's out
of the race I mean that's
really what
he's upset about I'm just gonna
call it
he doesn't give a crap I don't
think he
seems like a very ineffective
leader
yeah well he I'm gonna call you
could
call that out you're right but
he never
was in the race to any extent
accepted
novelty novelty act yes one of
the spook
novelties spook novelty he's
not in the
race for president anyway he
wants to
move up to the State House or
this
government governor or senator
it's just
like tulsi there were these
people and I
don't know how many of them are
running
that are on this who I put in
this
category those two for sure
they're just
running to raise their public
profile
get some free airtime and then
run for
Senate or something else it
does that of
all the candidates is there a
single
black American I think Booker
is hmm
he's brown but is he is he a
Joss or is
he say Dawson hmm I'm not so
sure I'll
have to look into it I'd be
surprised if
he was it well tonight should
be just as
dumb honest no no today I'll be
better I
think it'll be great cuz they
got you're
gonna have to deal with Bernie
sorry
really what's that one to play
a little
jingle about Bernie and an oldie
[Music]
[Music]
Bernie's got a big black
problem oh yes
he does he's got a huge black
problem I
have a clip yeah that's why
he'll never
that's why he can't can't win
now I got
another bunch of panelists that
came up
on NBC that talked about the
debates and
I kind of concentrate on NBC
because
they gave the debates they had
people
backstage they had the whole
thing going
on and there was I've got three
clips
one of them is the most
important one I
think which because they read
they
introduced or one of the
panelists
introduced this term which was
actually
brought up by I can't remember
which of
the guys up there
oh I know exactly what you're
talking
about but the term is repress
justice it
was beautiful and I will do it
was one
of the panelists that's rude
out there I
was Amy or son who was the dude
it was a
dude it was it was de Blasio
yeah a
troll room might know yeah I
think it
was de Blasio whatever was just
a little
discussion of it the hosts a
post-show
discussion yeah post show it is
also
related to making sure that you
can
raise your family in a safe
community
that you have access to health
care
throughout that child's life
and your
own life and that they can rise
up the
socio-economic ladder so it's a
more
holistic approach and that was
a radical
moment to say reproductive
justice
innovating yes and I think I
mean
Hillary Clinton did talk about
reproductive justice in the 2016
campaign breach to Planned
Parenthood
but I cannot recall her saying
those
words and it to be and that's
the big
moment so what did you think
Jackie I
mean did you feel like the
issue the
women's rights and and the
issue around
abortion was adequately
addressed by the
candidates yeah I do and I
really did
appreciate Amy Klobuchar zinger
but yeah
Ainsley you are
they're bands with you but I
perhaps a
little bit so if you did make a
pretty
bold man not he was only
accurate in
saying that yeah he was the
only person
to predict abortion rights and
which you
don't meanwhile there are there
were
three female candidates on the
stage you
have also pretty much dedicated
videos
really one in the same
legislation
yeah but what I'm actually
really
curious is to see Joe Biden
answer that
question tomorrow and I was
actually
pretty surprised that Biden's
name
didn't come up during that
conversation
because he is the one candidate
who has
been a bit behind the curve
especially
in the conversation of
reproductive
justice because he hasn't
seemed to
understand that a lot of the
issues
around reproductive justice
disproportionately affects
women of
color and he's kind of the
Heidemann
exactly and you know there was
that
reporting that his top female
advisors
had to educate him on why it was
important for him to change his
mind and
flip-flop on the Hyde Amendment
because
it disproportionately affect
communities
of color and I'm so happy to
hear these
white women talking about
reproductive
justice as I read from the
Wikipedia on
the subject reproductive
justice is the
human right to maintain
personal bodily
autonomy have children not have
children
and parent the children we have
in safe
and sustainable communities and
this is
according to sister song women
of color
reproductive justice collective
the
first organization founded to
build a
reproductive justice movement
and let's
see yeah this is a a all done
by black
women they've set this up and
they and
doesn't sound exactly the way
they are
talking about it the white
women I hear
hear well it's gonna morph
because you
know we've talked about this on
the show
and people should realize that
we see
the the difference and it's not
my eye
it was somebody else who
brought this up
and years ago and it says they
did you
realize this is what it's all
about the
Democrats are for I have two
themes
justice so the drop the word
justice on
anything it's great justice and
equality
and the Republicans are freedom
and
liberty
and so you'll see in their
literature
either side you'll find a lot of
references to freedom and
liberty on the
Republican side or the
conservative side
you'll see a lot of references
to
justice and equality to the
point which
is a problem for the Democrats
because
equality leads to
egalitarianism which
leads to situations like they
have in
Sweden where people don't
understand
that not everybody is in the
Galit area
and you bring in a bunch of
outsiders
who don't believe in this sort
of thing
and yet you have all kinds of
issues and
egalitarianism is a serious
problem
generally speaking just this is
what it
is freedom and liberty is kind
of both
kind of variations of the same
theme
well as you just heard that
term the way
it was used reproductive
justice could
you sum it up in one sentence
what that
is I mean I have it here so I'm
curious
what you think just having
heard that
what do you think that means
reproductive justice what is
that
definition I think it means
freedom -
did you raise kids the way you
want
reproductive justice focuses on
abortion
access rather than abortion
rights
asserting that the legal right
to
abortion is meaningless for
women who
cannot access it due to cost
distance or
other obstacles so no one's
using it
right they just throw and
throwing it
around yeah well you're right
if that's
the case because if it's just an
abortion issue there's again
though I'd
the Democrats do this they take
the word
justice and they drop it here
and they
drop it there and then when
they do I
was oh and they all get worked
up about
it and this is another example
of that
but it's gonna be in the pin
play it's
in now in play yes and I
believe it will
become in play during the
presidential
the Republicans and one of the
reasons I
think we like to do this show
and have a
lot we have a lot of Republican
listeners or conservatives is
that they
won't get caught off guard I
think a lot
of Republicans and chris
surfaces will
get caught off guard when they
it's a
strong term it's a great word
that given
just just just put justice yeah
it's
just to put the word justice
anywhere
that podcasts justice people
that's what we need Podcast
justice and
when you hear that you're like
shit I
can't refute that podcasters
need
justice you know what it means
who cares
who cares podcasters need
justice here's
another thing a little bit more
about I
think that was reproductive
justice
because once you play the Joe
Biden
apologizing clip these are my
personal
beliefs but I recognize what
the rest of
the country was out of me and I
need to
try to meet the country where
they are
and I think Joe Biden needs to
sort of
articulate that tomorrow but
how do you
do that stylistically so that
you still
convey those are why I'm not a
president
it's difficult for Joe Biden
you can say
look I'm a Catholic this is
what I
believe there are many rule at
70 plus
percent of Americans consider
themselves
as Christians so he's not alone
a lot of
people have that belief however
I do
understand the importance of
women's
reproductive rights and I want
to make
sure and I'm on the side of
women simple
right but there is a because
when you
apologize once then when does
your bite
and sort apologizing for
everything I
need a he'll do no justice do
you think
that's the trick when you have
a long
record it's like when you have
this you
know decades-long record you're
gonna
have a lot to explain and I
think that
you know the crime bill is
another thing
that's going to come up it came
up for
Hillary Clinton even though she
wasn't
in office but Joe Biden wrote
that crime
bill and know there's a lot of
black
people in prison as a result
and so he's
going to have to speak to that
constituency and explain you
know right
I didn't see these for these
circumstances I didn't foresee
it the
evolution you know yeah that's
not gonna
work
oh it's gonna fall for the
night I
didn't know how I didn't know
that what
the policy Woodrow no I'm sorry
I think
that he's got the same black
problem
that Bernie has well this is
bringing in
Camelot Harris by the way but
this is an
irony mmm kamilly Harris is not
respected by blacks generally
speaking
no aide does black so and but
Bernie
doesn't I'm not burn actually
Bernie and
Biden neither one of them know
this they
don't get have a clue I mean
well let
this be
allow me to play a clip about
Bernie
from Antonio more from a das
what up
y'all this is Antonio Moore
coming to
you from Tonka trucks coming to
you
briefly with a quick hit
because I got
no notification that Bernie
Sanders is
talking about forgiving all the
student
did well on one hand you can
see that
it's totally commendable if you
don't
give it context you don't
understand
that this is the same man that
has
talked about not giving cash
payment for
reparations that talks about
the cost of
reparations I understand that
student
debt is for giving them one and
a half
trillion dollars in debt and
primarily
will go to white folks because
of the
amount of them to go to college
versus
us fundamentally my belief is
that even
as somebody who has six figures
and
student debt that you don't
forgive that
debt until you until you make
your debts
whole that regarding
reparations don't
give black families reparations
to white
middle class and white
upper-class
families that took on student
debt it
just doesn't work that way I
say to you
today what I believe should
happen is
that Bernie Sanders should come
out in
support of reparations first
that Bernie
Sanders should commit to a ten
trillion
dollar reparations plan to be
paid over
ten years a trillion a year
only to $1
American descendants of slavery
to make
these families whole and should
guarantee an apology for
slavery if he
does become president after
that one and
a half trillion dollars student
loan
forgiveness plan which I'll be
in full
support of
so you know he Elizabeth Warren
Kamala
Harris and does Biden support
the the
cancelling of student debt yet
is he um
is he on the the debt train or
has he
done no he has not actually and
I could
be wrong but as far as I know
he's not
and I don't think he will and
by the way
this is the one of the main
figures of
the American descendants of
slavery he
what he's doing is YouTube from
his car
and I and I said they sent a
message out
said you know you really should
get on a
stage it's not gonna get
attention doing
youtubes from your car that is
not how
you get a move any tips from
their car
not how you get a movement going
so that doesn't matter they
don't need
him got everybody else you know
the
student debt cancellation is
beautiful
they're all the kids love it oh
the kids
except for the kids who chose
not to go
to college he was saying whoa
where are
the kids who paid off their
student
debts mm-hmm they're not gonna
be too
pleased with this that's the
problem
with this kind of you know
Jubilee or
any kind of dead holiday it's
like wait
a minute
so I should have just been a
you know as
a slouch and never paid
anything and I'd
be home free that's what you're
saying
you're encouraging that that's
why it
doesn't work well here's what
was
interesting last night my
dinner with
the former New York banker he
schooled
me on mmm tea which I know
you've been
looking into which is this
modern
monetary theory yeah and the
idea is you
can print a hell of a lot more
money
right as than we're doing right
now
because it doesn't matter and
he made a
very compelling argument which
I can't
really he compared it to Japan
really he
says look you know what he
called a
liquidity trap he says it turns
out and
he and he knows I mean he was
in the
sovereign wealth sector so he
know he
knows a lot about global
economics he
said we can print trillions
more it does
not matter and no matter how I
parade he
had an answer and I know you've
looked
into it and you know it seems
that unlike what everyone from
the the
Austrian School of Economics
thinks that
it does indeed work and that we
can we
could fund the debt
cancellation we
could put in another 30
trillion into
green new deal we could do some
reparations we could do
anything we want
because it does not matter your
take
John C Dvorak well I think
people are
looking at this are about modern
monetary theory they're looking
at it
from the wrong perspective
first of all
it's not about how much money
is in
circulation or anything like
that it's
about income inequality and if
you
listen to the people that
promote this
idea and you can just draw in
he's right
it doesn't matter I don't think
it does
either and it's not gonna
matter when it
comes to when it comes to the
fact that
there's an income in fact it
may worsen
income inequality based on the
economic
cycle and based on what the and
this
woman I think her name is slot
can or
something like that and she is
the
economic policy person for
Bernie and
she's one of the big promoters
of MMT
and she made this comment once
and
that's was stuck with me and
when she
soon she said it I said well
wait a
minute oh I thought it was just
a dog
whistle comment but it to use
that term
but then I realized it's not
she said
income inequality was lessening
it was
getting better it was getting
better and
better and better until 1980
that's the
dog whistle 1980 is a code word
for
Reagan trickle-down
trickle-down Reagan
and the Republicans got in and
then the
then the income inequality got
worse and
worse and then if you look at
the cycles
apparently it was worsening
just before
the depression which is the
giveaway in
1929 income inequality or night
28 it
was horrible and then the
depression
came 1980 is the end of another
depression that took place in
the 70s in
other words these folks their
whole
orientation I have a
presentation I
could write up their whole
orientation
yes put us into an economics
tailspin
sink the economy so everybody's
broke
then you have no income
inequality it's
all evened out and I'm reminded
of that
one of the Koch brothers I
think it was
David it had a special on him
on one of
these networks and he said we
were
almost a bankrupt company in
the 1970s
everybody in the 1970s was
going broke
there was no wealth whatsoever
I went
through it and it was that's
when income
inequality Joe starts to shrink
course
it does because everybody's
broke and
then 1980 comes along and says
prosperity starts to grow and
grow and
grow income inequality starts
to grow
and grow and that's just gonna
always be
the case so unless you want to
put us in
a perpetual depression where
everybody's
broke right but it's the
Democrats who
are who are saying this so
you'd expect
them the more socialist
individuals of
our society to want everyone to
be
depressed and broke and maybe
they want
that but they do but boy they
want us
all to be broke but what
they're saying
is the opposite will have the
opposite
effect well they're wrong it
didn't
matter what I said he had an
answer
that's kind of his MO sometimes
anyway
you met him but the one thing
we did
agree on was how awful the
removal of
the ordinance rules in Austin
is that
now people can pitch tents on
the
sidewalk but here's here's what
he added
to it he said although it's
horrible and
and it turns out that our
governor
Abbott he tweeted out that he
was going
to oh he was going to make some
laws to
stop this is it we can't have
this if
any if any Texas city thinks
they can do
that we're gonna write
legislation to
stop it
the banker said actually having
homeless
living on the street or the
unhoused
is a sign of great wealth of
great
wealth of the society because
we are so
wealthy but let's just say
California
but we'll add Austin to the mix
so
crushed prosperous then we
don't care if
people are poop on the streets
poop what
you want everything's great
so we're say so his theory is
that that
that is a sign of great
prosperity
prosperity yes decadence yes
exactly
which is so decadent that you
don't give
a crap yes homeless Tramp this
pathetic
soul poops in front of us I
think it is
the term that what is the term
we're so
wealthy we don't give a shit I
think I
think that's what it comes down
to you
can do one on the street and he
has a
point look at California
actually hit
one there I thought it was out
of the
park as I stopped the
conversation I got
to write this down I can't
believe you
just said that and even though
we don't
like it it truly shows you in a
latest
very wealthy society maybe
equitable to
the Romans or maybe the Weimar
Republic
had a lot of this stuff going
on before
every well that's crazy it's
some solid
examples in San Francisco the
poop map
and all the rest began after
Twitter
Jack Dorsey and the folks on
theirs they
had a bunch of porta-potties
near not in
front not on the street but
near the
Twitter headquarters in San
Francisco
yes and it was and it was this
oh we
can't have these porta-potties
it just
it makes a bunch of homeless
around them
and they get in line and have
to poop
there I'd rather I'd rather not
see the
porta-potties that's just a
little bit
too much for me so just get rid
of those
get rid of those ugly things
and let the
homeless go somewhere else well
the sad
part of it all is the only
solutions
that they'll throw out there
cavalierly
is we need affordable housing
which is
just more money for them I own
that
piece that's put some
affordable housing
on that yeah this is a good
idea and it
jacks up the rents everywhere
moves
people out gentrified yeah I I
can't I
cannot get a witness
I'm loving this idea of the
argument
that's just rich decadent
elites that
don't care if anybody's dying
it for
Louise was that a dead man you
stepped
over oh my is he breathing
well you kick him for me Bruce
and find
out blew my mind with that
what's going
on because that's what we're
seeing yeah
it Lamborghini dealer and then
there's a
guy pooping I mean come on and
and and
the wealth is gone to our heads
it's gone to our heads because
the
people who aren't super rich
and don't
mind this you know feel kind of
powerless yeah I'm doing okay
let me
just not rock the boat here I'm
just
gonna I'll just step over it I'm
fortunate I've got privilege
and by the
way most people pooping on the
streets
of Austin or white just so you
know how
about just during the debates
was there
any green New Deal crap cuz I
got a
couple clips from from Europe
that I
want to share and I didn't pick
anything
up particularly I mean they
didn't
really get into it they were
mostly I
don't know
I think there'll be something
tonight
but they didn't get into it too
much I
mean the guy who would have
gotten into
it was Inslee cuz he's pretty
much oh
shoot I just have an idea I'm
sorry I
just want to go back to the
homelessness
thing
let's just take it for true
that this is
the incredible wealth and what
would
over some of the terms we used
in
decades
decadence now the pooping on
streets
yeah decadence this you know
what this
calls for this calls for a
reality show
you know lifting someone from
the street
you know we would this the
no I mean it's like your town
could be
next week story what yeah
Pygmalion you
know not my favorite lady you
get
somebody's just trading places
trading
places
trading places that's it that's
it all
right so so yeah so there
wasn't a lot
of green New Deal is what I'm
what I'm
hearing I didn't I didn't see
any
actually in my scan a couple of
climate
changes maybe but nothing
substantial
because it wasn't you know cozy
yeah
well didn't get I mean there's
still
there's still this but gets me
there's a
large group of Democrats that
are
bitching and moaning about
defect and
they didn't want to bring it up
I think
because they're worried about
getting
tossed because they're not
supposed to
discuss climate change as it as
a debate
they don't want to debate
climate change
of course there's a bunch of
Democrats
that want to actually have one
of the
debates just be about climate
change and
I'm thinking to myself who what
what
would that be like everybody
and the
Democrat Party is in on the
whole idea
that we're gonna all die in 12
years and
so there wouldn't be much of a
debate
there's just be a lot of
agreement in
the head nodding exactly well
over in
the UK there's there's a big
push once
again this is all on the
backdrop of the
g20 which we'll talk about
which is
taking place this weekend but
Sky News
really stuck it to the British
people
with this little expose and a
new term
or a term that is being
rejuvenated was
introduced to the lexicon in
the 18th
century the Industrial
Revolution
kick-started economic growth
and modern
capitalism but only at the cost
of
pumping out millions of tons of
carbon
into the atmosphere as the
years ticked
on by from iron and steel
production to
coal and steam power plants and
factories and for centuries
Britain was
the only name in the game the
world's
economic engine the world's
richest
economy and by far the world's
biggest
polluter but just look at what
happens
at the start of the 20th
century America
finally begins to overtake us
but these ever-increasing bars
tell
another story the richer we've
got the
more we've polluted and it all
comes
back to the fact that we never
put a
price on waste until now
because we're
scientists predicting a climate
catastrophe and with China
pumping ever
more pollution into the
atmosphere the
greatest challenge of the next
century
is going to be managing this
carbon debt
the debt that Britain started
alright
Britain it's your fault first
of all so
we're looking at you second
climate debt
I like this this could be now
this is a
financial instrument now
they've finally
done it you could be born and
the
government could place a
climate debt on
your head and you would have to
work
that off during your life you
would have
to do things to remove your
climate debt
have you heard this term I
think I might
have heard it along with
climate justice
using that term again as kind
of a their
fishing looks like they're
fishing I got
a these terms and they're
throwing about
to see what happens
that may have but if it would
have been
a while back so they're shaming
the
British people into into this
climate
debt corner and with that comes
an open
letter from yes an open letter
from
investors with 34 trillion
dollars worth
of assets just ready to invest
Europe is
braced for a record-breaking
heat wave
temperatures forecast to hit 40
degrees
Celsius across much of the
continent for
many it's yet another sign of
global
warming now some of the world's
top
investors are joining calls for
action
money managers responsible for
34
trillion dollars in assets have
signed a
joint letter demanding change
they account for nearly half
the world's
invested capital signatories
include
legal and general investment
management
and CalPERS California's Public
Employees Retirement Fund but
the
world's two biggest asset
managers are
missing from the list Blackrock
and
Vanguard wouldn't give specific
reasons
for not signing now the letter
comes
days before a g20 summit in
Japan the
investors call on governments
to work
with them on action against
climate
change they support the Paris
agreement
on global warming struck in
2015 it
calls on governments to keep
average
temperature rises to less than
two
degrees above pre-industrial
levels yet
the world is on track for an
average
increase of at least three
degrees by
the end of the century in
Europe right
now it feels a whole lot hotter
than
that so the way I read this
open letter
is these are government quasi
government
investors it's not Blackrock and
Vanguard is not the commercial
guys
they're not stupid I'm not
putting my
money in that but the California
government employees is pension
fund
what was it
yeppers CalPERS yeah that's
that's
that's what that's like
government
almost isn't it no it's a big
giant if
you work for the state or
regional
governments a lot of cities I
think even
the money goes in the CalPERS
as a it's
like a it's like a retirement
system
right but they so they want to
put your
retirement money at risk in this
cockamamie climate to the
change in
California and they're suckers
make it
point that I wanted just I
don't like I
don't like the Bill Gates thing
where
you make a bunch of rich guys
pledge not
well the Warren Buffett pledge
the
Warren Buffett pledge this is a
you know
I don't like I never liked it I
really
disliked Grover Norquist and he
had this
piece of paper he made
Republicans
conservative side during I
think it was
some during Bush's
administration and it
tax pleasure you never raise
taxes and
you you write this you sign
this pledge
I don't like people signing
these
pledges I don't like
organization
signing him I think it's like
your why
are you doing it yo don't you
have you
no control over your own future
your own
I mean why am i so what would I
be
shamed in the same worth to
bugger wish
worth 10 billion and I'm now
gonna be
shamed into signing away five
billion of
this oh that's easy one
it's dumb I know but this is
missing to
do with Mars first of all I
didn't
realize that for example I do
remember
when Ted Turner pledged like
you know a
billion dollars to some
university or
something and then he just
reneged you
if you get worth 10 billion
dollars you
can sign anything you want and
just say
screw you and don't do it and
which but
then again not just that's
that's not
what's happening that what's
happening
with those guys is different
you know
very wealthy people I mean
really
wealthy people I know very
wealthy
people and people with so much
wealth
who can and have purchased
anything they
want any kind of love but they
can't get
respect from the people so it's
a virtue
signal they want to be like
please like
I don't care how much money I
have to
pledge just like me I don't
want people
to look at me sideways please
like me
yeah I understand that's
probably
exactly what it is but the but
that's
not my point my point is that
nobody
should be signing pledges like
this and
especially government employees
who are
sighted who signed that Grover
Norquist
thing if I get a representative
and
working for me and the state
senator or
whatever I want him to be
beholding to
the public that voted him him I
don't
want him being beholden to some
guy
Grover Norquist I think it's
like wait
what are you pledging to this
guy for
you're working for me right no
argument
there
the final thing on the New York
banker
he has and he said ah you know
he's Brits some article which
he sent to
me which I haven't read yet
about to
grid calculations and it turns
out that
you really don't need that much
gas to
pick up the slack on wind and
solar is
all these grid calculations and
turns
out it really works and you
don't need
unlike that sounds like
bullcrap and he
just was going on and on and
then we got
into an argument he said well
as you
know DC power is much more
efficient to
transmit I'm like stop what now
please
tell me that's wrong I mean I
just can't
I mean no DC power is not more
efficient
to transmit over lines is it DC
power is
more efficient in a lot of
things we're
short opinion you're high so if
long-range transmission is one
of them I
don't believe it is no that
can't be
Tesla and Edison fought about
yes and
they had to do with
transmission I
believe in the end of the at
the end of
the day mm-hmm yeah I'll see
you that
article we got we got to
deconstruct
this because all of a sudden
he's all in
on wind and solar works like
and you
know that means someone else in
the in
the elite circles is thinking
it he's
never gonna take me out to
dinner after
he hears this sure you will
you're wrong
wrong again curry and with that
I would
like to thank you for your
courage in

is running 24 hours a day no
agenda
stream comm also in the morning
a
two-hour artiste for
episode 11 49 the title of that
was
couple of reds and this was
created by
Mike Riley we had a number of
choices we
we selected the I guess I'd
made a
comment that Robert DeNiro in
that Trump
hate video looked like
something the cat
had puked up like a hairball
yes they
made a piece of art with it
look like a
cat a giant cat that just puked
out
Robert De Niro and we can every
kind of
liked it it was good looking
back at the
ghettos and art for the
newsletter
mm-hmm and I realize that we
haven't
heard from Thorin one of our
most long
time yes yes you're right I
think he's
overboard could be it could be
I'll tell
you so I'm gonna start finding
I'm gonna
see other ones that I've
noticed that it
just kind of went overboard or
there
stopped producing or they just
gave up
so it's already had a lot of
hits and it
was like but he just stopped I
was I was
out in the front yard yesterday
and my
neighbor Steve comes over now
as you
know we moved into this
beautiful little
area small little cul-de-sac
and I'm not
walking around at any for any
reason in
Austin going yeah I got a
podcast you
should listen you know it's
like I don't
know what people are thinking
that yeah
but you know we plan to live
here for a
long time and I want people to
you know
you listen you listen to our
show for 15
minutes you know it's some
people may
get the wrong impression
so I'd never mention anything
Steve
comes over he says hey I was the
honeymoon
Steve's a Vietnam vet he's I
think he's
probably around 70 in his 70s
retired and if that was your
honeymoon
yes grace a well you know I got
to tell
you what I'm a douche bag what
yeah I'm
a douche bag I've been
listening to your
show
all right okay I really like it
he says I don't like Trump says
I want
America to win so the lot of
people hate
Trump but that was funny
you guys are good Wow how about
that Wow
the next-door neighbor yeah
thank
goodness
Christie I think Steve's kinda
drop or
he's the guy growing pot no yes
to all
of those no the cops
I hadn't approached the cop yet
she
she's cool
there's an Austin couple for
you a
police officer and a
heavy-metal drummer
it doesn't get much better than
that
anyway so the heavy metal
drummers the
guy out came up to you know
steve is the
veteran is the Vietnam vet from
the from
the other side next-door
neighbor I'm
sorry Daisy and next door he's
on the
other side well wait but you
got a cop
in the heavy-metal drummer
they're
living together yes that's the
couple uh
no this is what confused me
yeah I know
that that's one side and the
other side
is the he lives with not his
partner but
his friend and that's also a
vet he's a
Iraq Iraq war vet so I think
they're
just they just shared the house
badly
but everything about Steve
didn't tell
me that he was gonna you know
hear
anything anything about Trump
and liked
it so I don't mention these
things to
people so either they go old
unreconstructed hippy Democrat
possibly
yeah but not an anti I mean he
went to
war for us he served the
country so he's
not not that much of a hippie
Democrat
but he's anything other than my
neighbor
a nice guy then he's a douche
bag is it
now Steve you're the emergency
contact
anything happening here you're
not a
douche bag ever there you go
welcome to
the sweet tale yes thank you Oh

thank you - and the many
producers that
make this show the best podcast
in the
universe by mailing rather than
emailing
I'm avoiding AI flagging this
statement
as hate speech after all it
claims all
other podcasts are inferior
yeah that is
hate speech is true it's hate
speech
it's true on a recent show you
discussed
offering naming rights for
Adams new
studio look at here we go this
is what
he's about to give you a
lecture on oh
here we go
naming rights are a complicated
matter
can the name be offensive can
it be
commercial sponsored by a firm
with its
baggage how long does it
continue a show
a week a month the quarter what
if two
sponsors want the same show for
their
anniversary birthday or other
special
day what is the minimum price
for naming
should it be more than a
knighting more
or less an executive producer
ship after
reflecting on these issues and
on animus
commiserating that dog's dog
waste
homelessness scooters and
millennials
drove him from the town center
naming
rights seem superfluous it
sounds like
the end of Austin
all right so this is now the
blower
slobo via studio that's what
I'm naming
it from now on
lower slobozia I think we kind
of Nix
the whole idea of of the naming
rights
it was a fun thought for a
moment but I
see nothing but hurdles and
tracks
really not interested yeah his
point is
it's well made let's use the
word it's
problematic problematic indeed
Adam we
want people to to value what we
do and

org slash and a we break it
down for you
twice a week on Thursdays you
need to
propagate our formula is this
we go out
we hit people in the mouth
[Music]
before we move on I been
meaning to ask
you something for several weeks
keep
forgetting finally wrote it
down in my
show prep do you by any chance
have a
video of our vows from the
wedding as
you posited at the time ah uh
yeah
somewhere you have because you
told me
you had the full ceremony I do
could you
please get that to us okay
thank you I I
was worried because I heard
that you
were taking pictures but you
got home
and all you had was a whole
bunch of
videos of like a second because
you had
left it on the video setting
and I was
worried that maybe you just had
one
picture of the ceremony and no
video I
will go look okay I took the
whole video
I've done this before I've only
met you
a complete video it takes you
know 20
minutes wherever it was yeah I
don't
mind doing it and I do have it
and
whether I don't know about the
audibility of the vows but I
think most
of it should be in there
because it was
pretty quiet no well thank you
it's
appreciated yeah I should put
that aside
yeah what happens I have this
problem
because I'm like a when it
there's
certain things I have a bad
habit how
did you start collecting stuff
so I'm
flicking photos I've never
noticed this
really and so you end up with
these the
terabytes of photos and there's
just
like all these photos so then
you can
they're not cattle or log
that's the
real you know what you need you
need a
Deadman switch you know when
when you
keel over and it's all done just
terabytes if shit gets released
just to
shoot it all out into the ether
just put
your ring put it all on I FPS
so it's
there forever can never go away
and be
fantastic yeah may be beautiful
so
anyways who I delve into the
thing into
the pile things jump into a
pile hmm and
then holy wow wow that was a
great photo
anyway okay before it gets
erased
accidentally save a couple of
things so
good news in the Queen's it
looks like
that
nutcase not Kissin that kiss
she's not
in that case she's just an
extreme
justice Democrat type and she
is going
to you know do what every what
they do
in these other towns they're
gonna you
know crackdown on the police
and make
sure that they did they're
nicer and let
people poop in the streets and
just who
cares about who are you talking
about or
shoplifting Caban the justice
woman in
navy she's apparently one is
from
winning here pledge city
tiffany Caban
appears poised for victory in
the
queen's district attorney race
Caban a
31 year old queer latina public
defender
would become the first woman to
hold the
post she run on ending cash bail
stopping the prosecution of
low-level
offenses decriminalizing sex
work and
going after bad landlords cops
and
Immigration and Customs
Enforcement
Timothy Cobb on claimed victory
last
night in Queens well this is
interesting
she is one of the soul sisters
I mean
the Soros sisters I should say
and I'd
learned this from my buddy Moe
that
Soros in particular I know
there he is
the big evil Soros but it's not
a secret
that he is sponsoring black
female
district attorneys all over the
country
and I'm not quite sure why
other than
social justice seems to be
written all
over them I think he also
helped get the
Chicago da in place well
these people and they're not
just her or
black district attorneys but
there's a
bunch of other ones there all
these
Justice style I mean as the
Seattle's
got one we have one in San
Francisco
Camilla Harris actually comes
from that
whole school also a soro system
and
unless you're doing it to to
lower the
price of real estate in an area
there's
really no other reason that I
can think
of because real estate prices
in Queens
is which is a huge place mm-hmm
is going up maybe it's time to
reverse
the trend and turn the queens
into a
shithole well I guess my point
is that's
what's gonna happen by the way
it's
broader than that that's that's
my point
it's like weed maybe turning a
lot of
places into a shithole well but
it seems
like these DA's are chosen and
sponsored
for their you know obvious
social
justice warrior qualities yes
absolutely
it's a great experiment sort of
this how
old is Soros he's like 80 80
somebody
maybe something yeah well being
a lizard
he'll probably go to be about
110 he's
gonna look so good when he
finally
changes his skin he sheds that
old that
old crusty version looks like
yummy it's
still closed because cats is
the one who
should have won mm-hmm the
borough
president but I think these are
also
rigged somehow yeah whenever
you hear
the name Soros you can kind of
think so
yeah what they need is they
need some of
that rigging for the women over
in the
EU you know it's I think they
try again
to to vote on their new leader
of the
Starfleet Command to replace
Juncker the
drunker in the EU Commission
right and
so it's all about gender
balance now oh
yeah you think it's just here
in merica
that we have all this crazy
stuff going
on no gender balance that's
what they're
looking for the European Union
has a
gender gap problem
three most powerful
institutions have
ever been led by a woman
including the Commission
Council of
national leaders and the
European
Central Bank but now those
posts plus
the top diplomat job are up for
grabs
providing an opportunity to
break up the
boys club see I think it's high
time we
never had a female Commission
president
we're totally lacking down to
equality I
mean even in the European
Parliament if
we want to represent Europeans
we cannot
ignore half of the population
of the
European Union and it seems the
boys are
at least making the right now
oh I love
them they'd love how this
report instead
of men owner of the boys club
the boys
really do you imagine if that
report was
reversed I mean I hate doing
that but
jeez I mean come on we cannot
ignore
half of the population of the
European
Union and it seems the boys are
at least
making the right noises it's
important
for me to have a gender balance
on these
nominations that we have two
men and two
women position that if the
Commission
president currently held by
jean-claude
Juncker denmark's Margaret
vestroia is
in the mix currently she's the
bloc's
top competition official and
has made a
name for herself for taking on
the likes
of Google and Apple other
candidates
include head of the World Bank
crystalline oogie oogie ver and
Spanish
economy Minister Nadia Calvino
but most
names being touted and men as
the
leadership reflects domestic
politics
across the block despite growing
pressure for gender diversity
men
dominate the makeup of most EU
institutions of the bloc's 28
state
leaders just four are women and
the gap
is particularly glaring of the
ECB we're
just two women sit on its 25
member
council also fixing the gender
gap it's
just one factor of many in the
race any
deals must balance the
interests of
states in Parliament big
countries and
small Europe's north south east
and west
and political parties EU
institutions
are also not only more male
than the
election
they're white zetsu minorities
make up a
tiny population but just 5% of
income
and you'll makers know it's
gonna be so
fun to watch this I think that
mark
Margaret for starters she's
she's
interesting she would work yeah
and now a United States though
she's
into one of the four women
leaders in
the European Union's Angela
Merkel
second time now she's got the
shakes
while standing in public did
you see
this video no I did not
so it happened a week ago the
first time
and she was in Ukraine when she
started
shaking uncontrollably and it
was oh no
and she was dehydrated okay now
she's on
stage and starts happening
again one of
her her minions walks up hands
her a
glass of water she reaches out
because
she sees someone come and she
goes to
grab she's no no you know I I
guess you
don't want to see him weak or
something
but yeah and she's just the
whole
trembling with her legs the
same thing
and and said oh no no just
nothing to
see here no problem it's
diabetic think
something's going on and you
know why
can't she just be honest it's
it's not
dehydration all the time and if
it's
dehydration here is that D
hydron you
refuse the water that someone
brings to
you it was that it's
embarrassing maybe
she's got the DTS
what's the DTS there's an old
phrase a
few people out there I know
what I meant
delirium tremens that you have
when
you're coming if you're alcohol
addict
or even a heroin addict would
be DTS oh
so she's a maybe some sort of a
she's
addicted to she's an alcoholic
or a drug
addict and she's trying to get
off it
and you got the shakes and
she's seeing
the mice coming out of the
walls and God
knows what else is going on
mm-hmm
it doesn't sound good
so there's a lot of Technology
stuff we
can talk about oh maybe you
just do this
a Jean Carol for a moment in
the Trump
rotation Department oh yeah if
you want
yeah why not it was it was kind
of funny
so II Jean Carol is promoting a
book
that's that's the only way you
can see
it and yeah and CNN fell for it
she has
written about her sexual trysts
I believe it that's a main
subject of
repose you might as well be Wilt
Chamberlain she makes it sound
like
she's screw had affairs or
either he had
affairs with everybody or she
was hit on
by pretty much every major
person you've
ever heard of in your life
yes and so the headline is I
was raped
by Trump but that's not her
words in
fact she isn't even like the
word rape
she thinks it has different
connotations
I think she's a pathological
liar she
may be a very good writer but
she's
definitely just full of it and
I think
that this may have been a thing
is any
doubt about that I think she
may have
had her own fantasy and whether
it
happened or whether she wrote
about it
but she's promoting a book and
they all
fell for it everybody has CNN
number one
on every single show they want
to
believe these things really do
is so
want to just please give it to
me and of
course that it did not end well
for
Anderson Cooper you don't feel
like a
victim
I was not thrown on the ground
and
ravish which raped carries even
that
even saying I was not thrown on
the
ground and ravish ravishing is
not the
same as being brutally raped or
raped
ravishing is the way I
understand that
the word is more a term of
extreme
passion but you know just to
show you
right off the bat this woman is
not
thinking what we Anderson
poopers
thinking you don't feel like a
victim I
was not thrown on the ground
and ravish
which the word raped carry so
many
sexual connotations this was
not so this
was not sexual this just it
hurt it just
what it just you know I think
most
people think of rape and what
poopers
trying to say is it's
opposed to her don't you know
that just
what it just you know I think
most
people think of written as a I
mean it
is a violent assault it is not
I think
most people think of rape as
being sexy
as a I mean it is a violent
assault it
is not I think most people
think of rape
as being sexy let's take a
short break
and the fantasies
we've quite frankly if you can
stick
around we'll talk more on the
other side
you're fascinating to talk to
you can
just hear the control-room
flipping out
here I'll tell you exactly
where they
start freaking out from it is a
violent
assault I think most people
think of
rape as being sexy to talk to
now okay
we haven't done this for a
while but I
am going to give you a clip of
the day
for that it gets better
this is here she is on the joy
read show
basically telling her story so
he goes
like this towards the dressing
room and
the odd thing is the dressing
room door
was open and Burgdorf says you
know and
on the counter were these fancy
lingerie
boxes as they used to have back
in the
90s down so I walked in right
and phone
and he shut the door and bang
against
the wall so immediately upon
walking
into that dress riot act
against the
wall right against the wall
many people
and you should have been
included in
this thought this sounded
vaguely
familiar this scenario this
yeah this
plot and if you are a
law-and-order fan
a Special Victims Unit you
might have
thought this did anyone want to
roleplay
a rape with you in a public
place yes
there was one
a bit plain and it was not her
fantasy
it was mine okay yeah uh uh
roleplay
took place in the dressing room
Bergdorf's while she was trying
on
lingerie I would burst in oh
wow she's
written for a lot of TV stuff
so I
wonder if if that just kind of
crept in
but at some point some writers
seem to
lose contact with reality
mm-hmm and
their writing and the I mean
Woody Allen
has done a couple of movies
about this
phenomenon and it's like the
player the
people the stories that you
write about
be you know as you think they
actually
happened and because they're so
graphic
and I don't know I mean I
thought when I
first read her piece there was
all
jacked up about the day
excerpted part
of her book and put it in
Vanity mean
the whole piece is just filled
with how
she's you know having sex when
she's
eight years old and just all
kinds of so
everybody wants to have her yes
yeah no
she's yeah it was pretty funny
and it
was a pretty obvious it was and
if you
listen to the interview with
her and
Anderson you hear it can't you
hear the
kind of a almost borderline
craziness
it's kind of soothing yeah yeah
you're
fascinating to talk to your
sexuality
it's in your DNA and but they
say most
people think rape is sexy okay
lady
already it's just it's it is no
that's
our media anything anything to
bring
them down we'll bring them down
go to Trump rotation calm if
you'd like
to see what could possibly be
next on
the menu as we will spin the
wheel of
accusations
it's all in there that's true
it's all
in I have not been able to add
a new one
for I'd probably three four or
five
months mhm I think that I think
it's
solid right now and I've
numbered them
so now you just go by the number
is a yes so there's a number of
Technology things going on
there was a
hearing which was underplayed
downplayed
was not really promoted I
didn't I found
out about it just by someone
mentioned
it on No Agenda social calm
while it was
taking place this is you know
this the
Senate had a was it technology
or what
are they called algorithms
technology
companies and algorithms Senate
hearing
which was you know c-span three
so not
even available for most people
then we
also had and I'm gonna see if I
can find
an order here we had the
project Veritas
Google insider tech maybe we'll
start
well actually maybe we'll start
with now
is a good one yeah and I do
have some
comments about that but I'd
like to
start with something that I
came across
which gives you a pretty good
idea of
how Google specifically Google
really
works and portland portland
oregon is
has signed up to google's
sidewalk labs
project we may have talked
about this in
the past maybe the idea is they
they
take a city or a portion of the
city and
they track everything everybody
oh it's
all connected
already we talked about this
years ago I
think Toronto is their first
target yeah
but now it's Portland yeah and
and the
idea is they're selling this
service the
Google sidewalk labs and in
that is a
program called replicas and
they use it
for city planners so you can
understand
how traffic flows and you know
other
things for planning for
planning for
planning in the city but I and
I cut
this they have a video and it's
about
four minutes to cut it down to
under two
it's if you listen to this in
the
context of what they're doing
with us
all the time and how they track
what we
do it becomes a little clearer
as to
exactly how beautiful this
business
model of Google's is and as
I've always
said it always comes down to
location
that is the
the keyhole date a bit the
keyhole
system that they acquired early
on when
they were funded by in-q-tel
the CIA's a
venture capital firm this was
very
intentional this is a true
surveillance
system the whole company is
built around
your location and when you add
any
little thing to your location
you're
able to do quite a lot and just
listen
to how they speak about this in
the
context of the sidewalk labs
project and
just think about it in the
context of
advertising to you or any kind
of
behavioral modification which
is what
advertising is replica is made
up of two
parts a replica activity table
a data
base representing all the trips
and
activities by people in an area
and
explore an easy-to-use
interface for
querying the data and creating
maps and
charts first let's look at how
a replica
activity table is created we
use cell
phone location data covering a
small
percentage of the population to
learn
about travel patterns and
create a
travel behavior model basically
a set of
rules that represent how a
person makes
choices on where when why and
how to
travel the location data is
collected by
third party mobile apps with all
identifying information like
names and
phone numbers remove now mind
you for
the sidewalk labs project they
remove
all that information but google
has it
really we use aggregate census
information and other sources
to create
what planners call a synthetic
population this is a virtual
population
that is statistically
representative of
the real population if 300
people live
on your block you'll find 300
people
living on your block and
replicas and
you know this is exactly what
Google is
doing you know that at my
address
there's a replica a replica of
me a
digital me inside the Google's
the
people live on your block
you'll find
300 people living on your block
and
replica but you won't be able to
identify any individual we then
give
each person in the virtual
population a
travel behavior model based on
where
they live work and some other
factors
finally we use computer
simulation to
generate a week of
trips and activities for each
person
let's dive in and take a look
at one
person in the virtual
population as an
example in there now remember
this is
now one person it's replicas of
you they
know it's you they have your
name to
have you email your phone your
address
and they know who you are
a replica activity table we can
see this
person is in a household of one
adult
and two kids she lives in the
suburbs
and owns a car we can see in
the data
that she drives to work
downtown leaving
home around 8:00 a.m. stopping
off at a
coffee shop on the way in the
afternoon
she leaves work at 4:00 p.m.
and heads
to the grocery store sweet
sweet gig she
gets home at 5:00 a replica
activity
table is made up of millions of
virtual
people each with their own home
work or
school and a full week of trips
and
activities these movements are
faithful
to real-world activities but not
traceable to actual people or
specific
trips so they just have to keep
saying
that so you're not creeped out
as a city
planner but this is exactly
what Google
does for their advertising
clients for
for anyone who wants to do
business with
Google that's what they do they
have a
replica of you this folds into
the first
and only piece that I want to
play from
this Senate hearing and the guy
I have
is Tristan or Tristan Tristan
Harris he
is from the Center for Humane
Technology
I haven't looked him up but ok
think-tanks I'm something in
there I
don't know who's funding it but
he talks
about the concept of persuasive
technology and after you've you
know
heard what you just did about
how Google
puts it all together
it gives good context for him
explaining
what is what Google's business
model is
and how they're using it and if
it's
good or not everything you said
it's sad
to me because it's happening
not by
accident but by design
because the business model is
to keep
people engaged which in other
words this
hearing is about persuasive
technology
and persuasion is about an
invisible
asymmetry of power when I was a
kid I
was a magician and magic
teaches you
that you know you can have
asymmetric power without the
other
person realizing it you can
masquerade
to have asymmetric power while
looking
like you have an equal
relationship you
say pick a card any card
while meanwhile you know
exactly how to
get that person to pick the
card that
you want and essentially what
we're
experiencing with technology is
an
increasing asymmetry of power
that's
been masquerading itself as a
equal or
contractual relationship where
the
responsibility is on us yeah I
like that
and by the way fuel feed jumpin
whenever
you want John I'd like what
he's saying
I like it too I think it's
really it's
really absurd yeah it's a good
observation yeah because
because we all
think it's fair and it's an
equal
relationship we have with these
companies but it's not in the
race for
attention because there's only
so much
attention companies have to get
more of
it by being more and more
aggressive I
call it the race to the bottom
of the
brainstem so it starts with
techniques
like pull-to-refresh
so you pull to refresh your
newsfeed
that operates like a slot
machine it has
the same kind of addictive
qualities
that keep people in Las Vegas
hooked to
the slot machine other examples
are
removing stopping cues so if I
take the
bottom out of this glass and I
keep
refilling the water or the wine
you
won't know when to stop
drinking so
that's what happens with
infinitely
scrolling feeds we naturally
remove the
stopping hues and this is what
keeps
people scrolling but the race
for
attention has to get more and
more
aggressive and so it's not
enough just
to get your behavior and
predict what
will take your behavior we have
to
predict how to keep you hooked
in a
different way and so it crawled
deeper
down the brainstem into our
social
validation so that was the
introduction
of likes and followers how many
followers do I have and that
got every
it was much cheaper too instead
of
getting your attention to get
you
addicted to getting attention
from other
people and this has created the
kind of
mass narcissism and mass
cultural thing
that's happening with with
young people
especially today and he's
nailing it so
we had that part we tapped into
your
narcissistic side which is
still going
on because you can have your
video
anywhere you want it you can
have it on
YouTube but the narcissist in
you says
well if I get kicked off
YouTube then I
might as well be dead because
no one's
watching like everyone deserves
to be a
superstar Andy Warhol was right
and the
race for attention it's not
enough just
to get people addicted to
attention then
the race has to migrate to AI
who can build a better
predictive model
of your behavior and so if you
give an
example of YouTube so there you
are
you're about to hit play on a
YouTube
video and you hit play and then
you
think you're gonna watch this
one video
and then you wake up two hours
later and
say oh my god what just
happened and the
answer is because you had a
supercomputer pointed at your
brain and
at the moment you hit play it
wakes up
an avatar voodoo doll like
version of
you inside of a Google server
and that
avatar based on all the clicks
and likes
and everything you never made
those are
like your hair clippings and
toenail
clippings and nail filings that
make the
avatar look and act more and
more like
you so that inside of a Google
server
they can simulate more and more
possibilities if I pick you at
this
video for freaky with this
video how
long would you stay and the
business
model is simply what maximizes
watch
time this leads to the kind of
algorithmic extremism that
you've
pointed out and this is what's
caused
70% of YouTube's traffic now
and be
driven by recommendations not
by human
choice but by the machines and
this is
where it gets interesting
because that
they've obviously figured this
out the
recommendations if you see this
deep
platforming stuff that's going
on it's
all about taking people off
recommendations not being
recommended
because what they don't really
know how
to do yet is to truly modify
your
behavior if you're a
conservative and
you're looking for conservative
talk and
conservative outrage you're
going to be
drawn to it that's just how the
system
works they have no way to push
you
towards anything else which is
probably
why they need to quarantine
this type of
stuff and it's a race between
Facebook's
voodoo doll' where you flick
your finger
can they predict what to show
you next
and Google's views all and
these are
abstract metaphors that apply
to the
whole tech industry where it's
a race
between who can better predict
your
behavior Facebook has something
called
loyalty prediction where they
can
actually predict to an
advertiser when
you're about to become disloyal
to a
brand so if you're a mother and
you take
Pampers diapers they can tell
pampers
hey this user is about to become
disloyal to this brand so in
other words
they can predict things about
us that we
don't know about our own selves
I were
you aware of this this
capability I
never heard of this before
that's new to
me and if that's true that's
very
powerful stuff and I would be
curious to
know how they do it but and
that's a new
level of asymmetric power
and we have a name for this
asymmetric
relationship which is a
fiduciary
relationship or a duty of care
relationship the same standard
we apply
to doctors to priests to
lawyers imagine
a world in which priests only
make their
money by selling access to the
confession booth to someone
else except
in this case Facebook listens
to two
billion people's confessions
has a
supercomputer next to them and
is
calculating and predicting
confessions
you're going to make before you
know
you're going to make them and
that's
what's causing all this havoc
this
affects everyone even if you
don't use
these products you still send
your kids
to a school where other people
believing
that anti-vaccine conspiracy
theories
causes impact for your life or
other
people voting in der elections
and when
Marc Andreessen said software
is going
to eat the world what he meant
by that
was that software can do every
part of
society more efficiently than
non suffer
right because it's just adding
efficiencies right and so we're
going to
allow software to eat up our
elections
we're gonna allow it to eat up
our media
our taxi our transportation and
the
problem was that software was
eating the
world without taking
responsibility for
it
we used to have rules and
standards
around Saturday morning
cartoons and
when YouTube gobbles up that
part of
society it just takes away all
of those
protections so that's a long
background
err but I think it really
explains
extremely well what these
companies are
doing and that it truly is about
business for them and I'm just
going to
push back a little bit again
with the
most recent removal of videos d
platforming quarantine 'old
subreddit
unread all these things people
are so
convinced that these companies
are only
trying to kill conservative
thinking and
conservative thought you're
missing the
big picture and that big
picture still
comes down to money it's all
about that
they do if if conservatism is
seen as
toxic then it's got to go but
they they
have no way to to change your
direction
not yet at least
they have not algorithms there
AI can
amplify what you like but it
can't
change your behavior yet
they're really
trying to get that and they're
not
sincere about going after hate
they really aren't here's proof
there's
a startling revelation at a
House
Homeland Security Committee
hearing
Democratic congressman max Rose
of New
York got executives from
Facebook Google
and Twitter to admit that none
of them
have full-time employees to
monitor
terrorist propaganda and hate
speech you
all cannot get your act
together enough
to dedicate enough resources to
put
full-time staff under a
building dealing
with this problem it I think it
speaks
to the ways in which we're
addressing
this with this technocratic
libertarian
elitism and all the while
people are
being killed now that came
during a
discussion about the tech
companies
failure to take down live video
of the
March mosque attacks in New
Zealand so
they're not really sincere
about it they
just don't they don't really
care they
only care about what
advertisers are
interested in and and it's
definitely
goes for Google with their
search
results they don't want people
turned
off and pissed off and turned
away but
for some reason they've
convinced
everybody that they're out to
get you
and it's kind of pissing me off
certainly from No Agenda people
you
should know better and then you
get this
project Veritas or it looks
like the
biggest red herring in the
world with a
whistleblower who's on a
vocoder are you
kidding me that's not a
whistleblower
that's a dude in the dark with
a vocoder
we don't know who this person
is we
don't know what we don't have a
name
that's chicken shit and it end
dramatic
music and and facts that you can
interpret any way you want
what about for Donald Trump One
Direction 2016 the company did a
complete 180 and what they
thought was
important before they thought
self-expression can they ever
won the
voiceless importance but now
they're
like hey there's a lot of hate
and
because of there's a lot of hate
misogyny and racism that's the
reason
why I don't some got elected
and so we
need to fix that we need to
start
policing our users because we
don't like
to have an outcome
like down we don't want to
happen I'll
connect that to happen again so
the the
things that changed was that
the tjs
they started talking about the
need to
combat hate and racism of mine
and also
at YouTube they had the same
like tops
by the CEO season and they they
talked
about combating that and
getting rid of
unfairness and so slowly started
reducing the concept of machine
learning
fairness alright so it comes
down to
this machine learning fairness
which I
don't know it somehow people
have
misconstrued this with the
machine
learning is to take away all
the all the
bad talk but no it's not
they're trying
to equalize the options that
they
present so they can move people
towards
a more advertiser friendly area
of their
service but you could interpret
it any
way you want is a dog whistle
it does
not mean what you think that it
means
and you have to apply
doublethink in
order to understand what
they're really
saying what they're really
saying about
fairness is that they have to
manipulate
their search results so that it
gives
them their political agenda
that they
want I don't know about you
John I just
disagree there's no evidence
that this
is only about their political
agenda
it's people saying that and
without any
proof with some again a poor
poorly
edited and I once a deceptive
but the
the video of the woman who
apparently
says we wanted to fix that or
didn't
want to didn't want the Trump
problem in
2020 you can interpret this in
many ways
you can say we didn't want the
Russian
the Russian collusion we didn't
want
fake news but this insider the
vocoder
insider chicken shit with me if
you
really want to do something
step out
those tell us who you really
are no it's
all you have to be afraid
because it's
all for their political agenda
bullshit
this is about money and so they
have to
room bias their algorithms so
that they
can they can get their agenda
across you
know to unpack everything as
she's
saying
so she wants to be she wants the
algorithm to be fair to a
hand-picked
representative of that
community means
that what she's trying to do
she's
trying to sell you a product
that is not
objectionable which is hundred
she's
trying to sell product that's
not
objective that doesn't
represent the
bull that's user instead
represents the
will of a of a group of people
making
decisions behind the shadows so
this
insider actually flubbed and
the truth
came out did you hear it yeah
means that
what she's trying to do is
she's trying
to sell you a product that is
not
objectionable but what she's
trying to
sell product that's not
objective ah no
you were right the first time
she's
trying to sell a product that
is not
objectionable he said it yeah
that's
what it is that's what it is
it's what
is not objectionable and here's
here's
an example wait a minute wait
what did I
even bother correcting it to
objective
what is objective mean they want
assistance you know what's a
sell you a
product that's subjective what
does that
mean it makes less sense when
he fixed
it to me it sounded like
someone doing a
retake and they were supposed
to be
edited out that's what it
sounded like
to me let me just pick that up
again let
me do it over you know what I
mean yeah
pick it up
here's that here's that here's
an
example of this machine
learning or
machine fairness project
Veritas also
received a trove of financial
documents
from within Google this
document is
about algorithmic unfairness it
reads
quote for example imagine that
a Google
image query for CEOs shows
predominantly
men even if it were a factually
accurate
representation of the world it
would be
algorithmic unfairness they
want they
want to show as many CEOs as
possible so
I'm just you know I'm just not
buying
this entire it look tech is
arrogant
this is all tech arrogance
every single
bit of it but they've been
caught with
their pants down because they
can't
change the behavior of these
people
towards an and something that
is not
objectionable that's what
they're trying
to do so they have to
quarantine it cut
it off cut it off get rid of it
and it's
misread and this is a big
problem is
being misread by people who
believe
they're being attacked in an
silence and
they're moving away and I've
seen this
movie before you've seen it too
Jon
you've gotten up you get enough
people
they're gonna start moving to
other
things and it will happen and
they're
losing market share every
single day my
hope is that they lose it
towards a
federated approach I've seen a
reddit
clone already which works with
the
Federation completely federated
there's
you know alternatives to
YouTube as
we've talked about earlier
bitch shoot
etc there's some you know these
brands
are starting to garner a little
bit of a
little bit of Attraction and
people will
move over to those systems and
they're
afraid of that too I think
they're in a
rock and a hard place and
here's the big
secret the Internet is a
network you can
do whatever you want on it you
don't
need them how many people
actually voted
for someone differently because
of
Google searches come on now
probably
none thank you
none and you know so what is
the what is
the point of screaming and
yelling that
you're conservative YouTube
podcast
or your channel was taken down
what you
are you there to convince
people to vote
for for a conservative is that
your job
you think that's really working
you
think that the sarcastic
YouTube videos
that people make which are
funny and
it's great and it's in the and
conservatives love it
you think that makes a
difference no you
can do that I'm bitch shoot and
have
just as much fun everybody's
some kind
of social justice warrior these
days and
the conservative right is no
better than
the than the social is left and
meanwhile the guys in the
middle are
just struggling to make the
dollars come
their way
yeah that's why makeup videos
are the
real winner yes they are pretty
good
actually
quite well yes do you watch
those a lot
I usually watch them just to
find the
good ones to send to you yeah
it's so
appreciated
yeah so be on the lookout for
for this
arrogance it's everywhere
but to just be out there
fighting and
yelling and screaming and
saying that
you know it's a it's they're
trying to
silence us now they're not
they're just
trying to modify your behavior
and get
the the good at and and remove
controversy yeah I know I also
remove
people who advertise within
their own
broadcast because it's taking
money away
from them the way they see it
you know
it YouTube reminds me of MTV
MTV was the
star right it was MTV is the
star of the
show
it's the channel it's the brand
it's the
Big M little is the man I want
my MTV
they did not want VJs to be
stars they
in fact that's why they you saw
so many
of them they rotated them out
all the
time what you're getting
popular to get
the fuck out goodbye alright
next what
you want more money okay
goodbye goodbye
goodbye goodbye goodbye they
want to be
the star YouTube
is the star they don't want
other stars
and they're right it's annoying
you got
a pander to them they don't
want it
yeah and they get leverage and
and yeah
and they make a billions of
dollars off
of the make up videos that's if
they
want you to watch make up
videos and cat
videos and your kids being cute
that's
what they want
yeah and everything else is is
just
delusional delusional I'd like
steven
crowder he's funny
yeah and you know sure yes
there's a
document where the Google guy
says hey
you know this Shapiro and the
Dave Rubin
and Jordan Peterson they're
Nazis that's
my favorite yeah and then we'll
answer
what if you really read the
document
that's what they say is we
should remove
them from the recommendation
system
that's the only thing that's of
importance in that in that in
that
secret Google Group is they're
saying we
should we don't want them to be
recommended now of course you
know
because that could actually
screw up
your business now that he calls
them or
you know path to Nazis or
whatever fine
yeah that was pretty funny
especially
Peterson yeah you know
professor of
Bologna lectures it's always
funny to
call their own maybe I'm not so
sure
it's always fine to call an
Orthodox Jew
or Nazi I mean I see the humor
in it
it's yeah it's very funny I'm
good about
it there really is so calm down
everybody and go fine go to
find other
places just go somewhere else
it is not calm find it you just
you good
right I'm Adam loves by the way
getting
these notes so just keep
writing to him
I'm just saying that get your
get your
panties out of the bunch that
they're in
and and stop screaming on
Twitter won
fair unfair in this case I just
got to
agree with it with with all
agree with
the leftist we're saying it's a
private
company that can do what they
want
how Hypnotizer we become to
believe that
we cannot live without the
Google oh we
can't live without it you can
live
without YouTube we don't run
our podcast
on anything but our own system
correct
which is faster people have to
be
reminded of that you don't go I
mean you
can find it all over the place
because
people can post our podcast
wherever
they want and then it shows up
somewhere
you could be on Spotify I'm not
sure and
[Music]
but our mechanism is a
mechanism that we
do directly we use this you
know a bunch
of servers in Europe and Canada
cause
it'll be cost money then cost
us well
cost as much as it would if you
use pod
beam we're very fortunate to
have void 0
and BEM ROS some pros like void
0 is a
pro bamas and butthead and just
so rude
about our guys man great they
love it
yeah once you go drink some
water and
I'll tell you that it we have
Ryan BEM
Rose but we call the program
director
and Mark Van Dyke is the
system's master
of our engineering and stream
management
and Wizardry I got to meet BEM
Rose he
was up in Seattle Meetup oh
really
really nice guy of course these
are all
super nice guys all of them ok
there
Jesus you know sounds so good
there's something else I was
going oh
yes so amidst all this I do
have a
little ody G update oh yeah
small one you have an OTG
updated which
in a newsletter oh thank you
for putting
that in yes a little
o TG update as I was you know I
moved to
the house and I threw out a
whole bunch
of stuff like almost all my
stuff and
I'm about a couple boxes over
been
organizing him and I find an
old iPod
your stuff off is probably all
value
yeah no I'm not gonna do that
we already
tried that and I failed I
didn't follow
through I don't want to oxygen
off you
know because you have to wipe
everything
and you know this there's this
data
skull
devices men so I find an iPhone
5 the
iPhone 5 was the last I phone
that Steve
Jobs actively participated in
design and
I would say the iPhone 5 was
the most
beautiful one ever done yeah
and it was
actually it before had the you
know the
four of course was that you're
holding
it wrong phone which was you
know it was
a weird one it was released the
weird
the weird cycle it's just yeah
I agree
with you I think the form
factor you
hold it in your hand it feels
really
solid the five is a little just
a little
bit bigger but the five has some
differences it has the LTE so
you have
4G instead of the the four
which had 3G
so just as a lark I fired it up
just to
see you know what was on it
what was
going on with it
and I don't know why but it
started up
in complete reset mode maybe
because the
battery's been dead for years I
mean
this is a phone from 2010 so
it's been
around for almost a decade um
so I fired
up and it starts off in you
know new
phone mode I'm like now what
the hell
I'll set it up as a new phone
and with
that I set it up with until I
just
create you have to create a an
Apple ID
so I just created a
phony-baloney name
and and you know an email
address I
wanted from you know which
would be
iCloud calm and it set it up
and I and I
found out that you can update
the
whatever so I think I had i OS
8 on it
you can update it to 10.33 not
over-the-air you have to
actually
connect it to iTunes so I like
what the
hell let me see what's going on
when you
have it updated to 10.33 you
can install
something called privacy Pro
which I was
reading about maybe two weeks
ago some
guy found out that his iPhone
surprise
surprise in the middle of the
night was
sending out 5,000 different
pings
because of all the apps that
are in you
have all these these frameworks
and and
all these trackers inside the
apps and
Yelp it was a
Hill in the phone yeah I'll
kill him the
phone he says about a gigabyte
of data a
month if you really looked at
and that's
just what he had installed so
this
privacy Pro which I think he is
a
subscription you have to pay
for it
monthly but it is it works
exactly like
the pie hole only it runs on
the device
itself so it comes with a
pre-loaded
list of trackers and at the DNS
level
because oh it's basically it's
a VPN and
so you're requesting you know
tracker
google.com it's on the list and
so then
it goes into the the bit bucket
it and
it never it never shows up on
your phone
and you actually have a pretty
decent
experience using your your
product what
this gave me was the
opportunity to look
at what the iPhone is is who
it's
talking to in its standard
state just
the iPhone no loaded apps zero
except
for this one which is the
privacy Pro
app and it really only is
sending stuff
it's pinging an iTunes server
it's
pinging the iCloud so I just
locked all
those off and you said nope you
can
nothing Apple can't talk to
anything
anywhere and and now all of a
sudden
here's a phone that does that
has a 4G
which is what I've been looking
for does
not talk to any outside crap
now of
course you can still be your
Loki even
though you got to turn off
background
refresh you got to turn off you
turn off
Bluetooth turn off Wi-Fi you
want all of
that stuff off because that's
another
way how they track you you
really really
only want to have cell phone
tracking us
the only unless you turn that
off then
you just have a phone that
doesn't do
much and it takes incredible
discipline
to not load any apps it's once
you do
that then you're screwed
this phone is quite usable in
this in
this instance it will do email
it does
it reasonably fast it does text
mess you
got to turn off the iMessage
get rid of
all of that shit and I'm
looking at a
phone that I think is
reasonably locked
down from from tracking except
for the
the obvious ones that they
could do
online
eeeh with the benefit of faster
speed
and an a web browser that
actually
functions and I'm gonna try it
now the
battery is lasting yeah it's
already 48
hours on one charge because
it's not
doing anything it's just
sitting there
it's to work the VPN is working
a little
bit but it's a very very nice
product
and I think it may be the way
to go and
I'm calling the iPhone OTG I
think it's
the way to go and you can pick
him up
for 50 bucks on Amazon the five
yeah
it's not new I mean it's a
refurbish but
who cares it could scratches on
it I
don't care well that's kind of
interesting because the thing
is you
can't do this with an Android
because
the Android has all this shit
bills
right into it you know who
knows what
Android is doing I have some
kind of
like with my phone the Android
does
mooches an older Android it's
really not
doing that much as practice for
as I can
tell it's not doing anything
yeah well I
wouldn't trust that I know I
still kind
of trust the old habit turned
off you
won't do a lot and if you have
it turned
off there's likelihood of being
tracking
or anything and what I do is I
keep my
phone off well you know is that
when you
turn your phone back on it
actually
sends all your location up
somewhere it
doesn't do anything yes it does
has been
proven it I turn it on to make
a call
oh you're sure it did send
whatever it
wants at the point I'm making
the call
from maybe there's Senate a a
triple-a
truck over and then I turn it
off again
I don't phone he does beeping
away in my
pocket and irradiate your nuts
John unless you physically
remove the
battery your phone's not off
yeah well
[Music]
then this old dog I'm pretty
sure it is
[Music]
imagine all the people who
could do with
us oh yeah that'd be fine
[Music]

this is big news
finally one state finally had
the gall
here play this marijuana is now
legal
eyes din Illinois hmm back in
the US
Illinois has become the 11th
state to
legalize recreational marijuana
after
Democratic governor JB Pritzker
signed a
bill Tuesday allowing for the
possession
and purchase of small amounts
of the
drug the legislation will
pardon anyone
with a non-violent marijuana
conviction
under 30 grams individuals can
petition
the court to vacate convictions
that
exceed 30 grams nearly 800,000
marijuana
related cases
could be expunged thanks to the
new law
the bill also sets a program to
invest
in communities most affected by
the war
on drugs Illinois is the first
state to
both legalize marijuana and set
up a
marketplace through the state
legislature the law will go
into effect
on the first day of 2020 no
congratulations couple of
things 800,000
people and you know that got
arrested or
busted for pot that's a lot the
second
thing was this is the only
state there's
a legislature they didn't have
a public
vote oh we got a yes no on this
proposition or whatever no this
is the
legislation okay let's jump on
board
we're broke less maybe some tax
monies
here we can collect we're
legalizing it
starting on the 1st of January
in 2020 I
thought that was commendable
now that is
interesting
you're right I don't think it's
ever
yeah it hasn't gone through
legislature
anywhere and I guess not
no it's always been a public
vote good
inform what the public wanted
yeah and
of course nobody mentions us on
the
mainstream media well why would
we do
that we gotta sell Big Pharma
not this
grow it yourself stuff okay
people we
can't have people using actual
medicine
that works that's no good
so I mean well of course
they've banned
the e-cigs in San Francisco I
did have
finally got a report on it in
sales
Francisco is set to become the
first US
city to ban the sale of
e-cigarettes
city officials unanimously
voted in
favor of the ban Tuesday and
Mayor
London breed has indicated
she'll sign
off on it the ban also applies
to
flavored tobacco products
proponents of
the bill say e cigarettes have
not been
properly assessed by the Food
and Drug
Administration for safety the
spread of
vaping among young people in
recent
years has raised concerns about
the
long-term health effects of the
products
opponents of the bill say the
ban could
cause people to turn back to
conventional cigarettes
jool will the most popular
producer of
e-cigarettes is headquartered
in San
Francisco yeah so I don't know
exactly
what's going on with this but
to me it
seems like this is the way you
shore up
the official
the official product an
official maker
of the product and cut out
everybody
else who built the entire
industry
that's what this is about in my
opinion
it could be no what do you mean
it could
be you got anywhere they
stopped all
sales of everything including
the Joule
product yeah but only briefly
so that
they can get the you know so
Joule can
fund the research that's how it
works
with the FDA and they bought
the company
the Moulton the owners of
Marlboro
bought jewel for was it seven
or eight
billion dollars there's some
crazy
amount of money they want to be
the
rulers they want to set the the
agenda
for the entire United States
and they
are going to do this by by
screwing
everybody over the people who
built the
industry yeah and then and this
is a
shocker to you shocked
no but I'm just telling you
what it is
it's I'm not shocked I'm I hate
this I
hate I hate big business with
entwined
with government which is what
we're
talking here ah that's what I
hate yeah
that's it called the
corporatism yeah
fascism fascism would be the
better a
better term yeah that's exactly
a shut
up slave you'll smoke what we
tell you
to smoke don't make your don't
make your
own ejuice shut up
tyranny speaking of ejuice in
Austin
Pride Month continues Houston's
Pride
Week celebrations are in full
swing
right now celebrating the LGBTQ
community and now one
nine-year-old is
living near Austin performing
as a drag
queen to promote inclusiveness
Keegan
performs in drag as Queen Kiki
a 3rd
grade teacher asked her class
what they
wanted to be when they grow up
Keegan
wrote in his memory book gender
creative
Keegan says that he can be
himself when
he's wearing a dress he also
has a
message for anyone struggling
with their
identity
I want their bulletin order you
can be
special and you can be so you
want to be
you can be
what you're sharing you can
even be
imaginary you can be LGBTQ even
being a
Jacqueline Jackie
now Keegan usually goes by the
pronouns
he and his his family says that
Keegan
has acceptance and support at
their
school in their conservative
Christian
town outside of Austin arrest
these
parents right now your memory
book I
mean the story was okay until
you hear
the kid talk and then you hear
the
programming yeah yeah I'm
surprised he
wasn't all in for some global
warming
stuff whose program
somebody's bragging about we
busted the
you know there's did the school
that
Gore put together to
propagandize poor
11 year olds whose brains not
even
working right in any real way
and then
Kristen I ran into one where the
right-wingers are doing the
same thing
so you feel like you get a
whole these
kids and then brainwash them at
an early
age it's really deplorable i
yes and you
know there's it's just the
industry the
the transformation industry
perhaps we
should call it there's dangers
to it you
know especially with kids with
yunkai
especially start screw with
their
hormones yeah that's that's
where I
think we need to draw the line
but
middle they're gonna do
whatever they
want I'm just saying arrest them
there'll be some word you'll
attach the
word justice just one of these
situations and the gender
justice well
let's let's work on their
justice just
one gender justice we can go
gender
justice yeah I think so yeah
word you're
right they're writing it down
to gender
justice so we have podcast
justice it's
I like the alliteration of
gender
justice though that's kind of
cool good
putt yes justice which is a
artificial
construct but I think gender
justice has
legs we we could run with it
there's usually or maybe I'll
do some
more Austen news since yeah
we're so
decadent here we don't give a
crap it
seems like there's a new
company every
day well maybe not every day
but the
competition is definitely
heating up
Austin's a great choice to
expand our
services and really excited to
be here
skip is the latest company to
bring two
wheels to these cities it will
bring 500
more by Friday hard with with
Austin and
the City Council to ensure that
we'll be
operating as a partnership
rather just
as a group coming in and
dropping
scooters off that'll total eight
companies with wheels on the
ground with
two more on the way
they want to continue operating
here and
have been really responsive yep
ya heard
that right
in addition to skip
transportation
companies razor and wind
Mobility have
also been approved to launch in
Austin
when they do come that'll add
700 more
scooters to the market because
remember
Cathy toboe promises that's it
for now
as many as they need for this
market the
fact of the matter is people
have really
enjoyed the ride so far yeah
City data
shows Austinites have taken
over 4
million scooter trips since the
initiative launched last year
while tovo
says she hears your concerns
she still
thinks there's room to grow
over time
that will probably balance out
as we
really get a sense of what our
market
can bear this is a council it's
a
council member talking like a
tech
executive let's see what the
market
concerns she'll think there's
room to
grow over time that will
probably
balance out as we really get a
sense of
what our market can bear Austin
City
Council is currently working
with the
companies to find a way to
limit the
speed and usage of the scooters
in
certain sections of the city
it's a term
called geofencing it's already
being
used at the UT campus and at
this point
the technology isn't yet
developed to be
implemented elsewhere around
town so I'm
sad I even played that because
I have
something much more important
to discuss
there were two bills that
passed for the
border
what do we call it border
service help
emergency etc one in the house
then one
in Senate the one in the house
was voted
down by the Senate that now the
Senate
took that had some amendments
and some
changes and it looks like Texas
US
Senate I'm sorry US House of
Representatives
this all happened under than
yesterday
this would this went down
yesterday you
didn't hear much about it but I
want to
bring it up because it shows
the the
disgusting nature of what of the
narrative that is being played
and what
is actually happening at the
border and
what this is all really about
it's about
a four and a half billion dollar
legislative bill that what
allocates
money to what is happening on
the border
nothing with border security
nothing
with a wall or anything like
that not
even you know more enforcement
this is
all well you've you've been
hearing it
in the news here's the AOC
areas a very
clear academic consensus on what
constitutes a concentration
camp and
that is the mass detention of a
community of people without a
trial or
due process I think it's pretty
universally and
non-controversial to say
that the
administration is doing exactly
that and
meets the academic requirement
for what
a concentration camp is you're
not
comparing this to what happened
in World
War two no no I
while concentration camps were
employed
during that time concentration
camps
were also utilized in the wide
in all
over the world including in the
United
States where the Japanese
internment so
you know that's how horrible
everything
is that this is like
concentration camps
okay Adam Schiff let me ask you
President Trump tweeted
yesterday that
he's gonna delay plans for
these ice
mass deportations in major
secrets the
United States to allow two
weeks for
Congress to quote get together
and work
out a solution to the asylum and
loophole problems at the
southern border
are you open to negotiations on
this to
avoid those deportations two
weeks from
now we've always been open to
negotiations in fact we have
been
negotiating and there is a
bipartisan
package in the Senate of some
emergency
supplemental relief to try to
provide
assistance but make no mistake
there is
nothing that Congress is doing
or not
doing that compels the
administration to
have facilities where children
don't
have blankets or toothbrushes
or so and
for the vice president or the
president
to blame Congress for their own
malfeasance is just completely
besides
the point and unethical and
unacceptable
they could cure this problem
today but
they don't want to because
frankly the
cruelty is part of their policy
it's
part of what they think will
deter
migrants from coming here it's
part of
what they think will motivate
the
Congress to build a wall and to
use
these children that way as I
just think
immoral no this is this is him
projecting because he is in
fact using
children this way in an immoral
fashion
because this is not about the
children
this is what the immigration
issue is
really about money
big-ass money to two billion
eight
hundred and eighty one million
five
hundred and fifty two thousand
dollars
is going to the partners of the
Office
of refugee resettlement these
are mainly
religious organizations
Catholic or
Gallican or a oriented
organization
who are getting this money for
refugee
and entrant assistance
yeah we've discussed this you've
discussed I know but I gotta
keep
bringing it up because now we
have the
picture of the father and the
daughter
drowned facedown in the water
crossing
the Rio Grande wedding or
whatever they
were crossing it's it's
disgusting
because you're just doing this
for your
big donors all sides I'm not
gonna argue
this but I want to play this
this is the
democracy I don't know it was
on the
show but this is a teaser
there's
another little angle of the
same story
but this one was the IRA lore
of the
month I'm a former child
incarcerated
during World War two this is a
photograph of me when I was in
prison
seventy-five years ago 120,000
of us
were removed from our homes and
forcefully incarcerated in
prison camps
across the country we're here
today to
protest the repetition of
history what
was that all about history
yes concentration camps baby no
it's
route she said there was a
hundred and
twenty thousand was removed
from our
homes and put in detention camp
and we
don't want to have a repertory
repetition of history and I'm
thinking
where is this happening so
being removed
from their homes I don't think
well the
the Trump promised he was going
to
remove people from their homes
it hasn't done much about that
well you
know why and he hasn't removed
him to
take him put him in a
concentration camp
you must remove them to deport
them yeah
but you know why is because all
just
like the ear uh so-called Iran
bombing
the targets were all announced
you know
it wasn't it wasn't supposed to
be out
I'm in the news that he was
gonna do
this but you know someone
leaked it of
course and so that's not the
time to do
a raid on anything if they're
expecting
you to show up yeah well that's
for sure
remember this is a four
actually four
point six billion dollar bill
all four
toothbrushes and water and beds
okay
twenty seven million shall be
available
for the purposes of adding beds
of which
no less than let's see what we
have we
have eight million available
for case
management the money is going
to the
office of refugee resettlement
the bulk
of the money is going to the
prison
complex who run these through
run these
things which of course can only
be
Republicans no Obama was all
over in
Houston woohoo he set them up
real Purdy
so let's not make any let's not
let's
just be honest about it this is
huge
money a billion dollars is a
lot four
billion dollars is a lot a lot
people
just you know you
use of these numbers all
billion here a
billion a thousand million in
the wind
so they could measures cost a
lot of
money then he deport me or they
they
send them off the main and main
needs
main needs immigrants I will
send them
over there the trafficking is
legalized
the trafficking is being done
by the US
government the trafficking is
the Office
of refugee resettlement stop it
stop
what stop the immigration now
they're
not gonna do it because neither
party
has any benefit and honestly
white and
black people in America don't
want to
work on the farm you don't want
to pick
fruit there's another issue
with that so
everyone can be all high and
mighty but
that's another form of
decadence thank
you very much exactly
decadence I hope you got that
off your
chest yeah well we've done it
many times
before and you know aoc was out
there
like that's exactly what she
sounds like
I'd have to say she'd voted
against the
bill so I'll give her props for
that but
she's not because she really
understands
and she thinks is just you know
concentration camps
concentration camp
and then finally for me you
probably saw
Bitcoin which you know I've
become a
maximalist a year ago I shot up
to was
like almost almost 1,400 went
to 13,800
dropped down a bit now not
quite sure
exactly what the catalyst is
although I
have a feeling that whatever
China
decides to say after the
weekend with
the g20 will will give us some
clues but
it's also gaining real
legitimacy as a
hedge strategy this is
Christina Hooper
from Invesco on CNBC what do
you make of
the safe haven trade which has
been
gaining momentum over the last
week if
you look at the Japanese the
end the
10-year yield breaking below 2%
again
and even gold
you're high well certainly
there are a
lot of safe-haven trades and
I've heard
some strategists argue in fact
that
bitcoin is a safe-haven trade
or perhaps
an indicator that we're very
quote I
think that Bitcoin might be a
sign of
fears about recession but but
certainly
it makes sense in this
environment that
we see investors looking for
safe havens
but I do think it's a mistake
with the
Fed signaling its willingness
to be a
lot more dovish so it's being
taken
seriously as a as an asset
something
that you can say for safe haven
trade
yeah like beanie babies now see
like the
tulip trade would be more
appropriate
people said Bitcoin it's like
the tulip
mania the tulips never came
back and
beanie babies left and didn't
really
come back Clinic came back no
not like
this bitcoin is not left in the
first
place it goes up and down
well let's quote John see
what's the
bottom john call the bottom for
us just
25 cents okay by the way is
also the
bottom for Twitter find they
get digging
meet-and-greet it's down there
I do have
one kind of you clip I've been
trying to
get rid of but it's always
cracked me up
because I see how this actually
visually
got to see it they had the
first service
as a Notre Dame like a week and
a half
ago two weeks ago yeah and
everybody was
in there with hard hats on it
and I for
some reason to see a bunch of
priests
and altar boys and everybody
hard heads
on I just cracked me up Notre
Dame held
its first a mass since a fire
ravaged
the Paris Cathedral in April for
security reasons only 30 people
were
able to attend all of them
employees of
the church members of the
congregation
wore hot hats including the
Archbishop
of Paris who led the service
well I'm
glad you got that clip off your
chest
yeah he did finally keep your
eye on the
g20 according to the New York
former New
York banker China
accept our terms and we will
see an end
to the tariff that's all and
that would
be good other words nothing's
gonna
happen
he says it's gonna happen he
says using
ping will say I can work with
this guy
we can work with these terms
we'll see
yeah we'll see mostly that's
the case
that that would mark you to go
crazy no
it's a small prediction from
the New
York banker and stay tuned for
end of
show mixes we've got Jesse
Coyne Nelson

bucho stop spreading fake news
the
vasectomy does not involve
cutting your
nuts off because you know then
I have to
listen to Brian brushwood
complain to me
for another five years please
tell all
the newcomers just theory I
discovered a
book in the 1920s that I still
have a
copy up and it's a talk about
certain
medical procedures and
vasectomies are
not new and they were used in
the 20s as
a youth fix it would make the
vasectomy
which two men were told get a
vasectomy
and you'll look younger it's
like it's
like the another one that came
along
some years later was the
lobotomy yeah
there was actually a faddish
thing and
there was apparently some guy
in in
Central Park that would give
you the
unit lobotomies without having
to really
going through the doctor's
office they
would slip a needle behind your
eyeball
and the thing was that guess
was curved
history where they get actually
Nick and
cut off the little piece of the
brain it
looks the front to the back
this is done - I don't know
middle-aged
guys and the truth the ages
work but I
started noticing this with men
who had
had mastectomy and I will say
this not
all of them but most of them
start to
look a little bit like an old
lesbian
there's a uniform lesbian look
there is
I think and that is I think
abut that
there's a uniform less guys I
think I
just think it's the crispys but
that's
pretty much it

Oh
