[Music]
Wow that's your Mexican thing
very
authentic as opposed to what I
don't
know my guitar
well happy Cinco DeMayo by
sombrero yes
yes so a bunch of other events
today if
you look on the list it's
unbelievable
how many things are going on in
the day
like this well you know you
know if I
this is the fourth 1904 405
1904 the
first no I'm sorry the first
perfect
game was pitched by sai yeung I
put that
in the newsletter but since
nobody got
the newsletter I thought I'd
mentioned
it on the show now is this
really true
is this is this what happened
that the
people didn't receive I
received it but
of course I don't use Gmail and
it was a
good newsletter email
phenomenon I think
it's MailChimp how do I say
that because
of all the different weather
there are a
lot of people that use Gmail in
the
background but it was I by
asked and I
got note after note after no no
I looked
here I looked in spam I looked
at trash
I didn't see it hmm
and I brought all our names
down and
this like dozens and I read I'm
sure
that most people you know some
people
read even get the second note
but it
takes a little effort to I'm
sure that
the the names email addresses I
received
back saying they never could
find it
he's only a portion because
most people
aren't even a bother
do I have a theory about it I
might my
theory now we were celebrating
different
zanko's today and my theory is
that the
adorable picture broke the
internet
if an actual actually sucks it
could be
but somebody actually came up
with a
very interesting that little
out there
and a little creepy
explanation which I noted might
be a
possibility all right
in the caption on his picture in
particular I mentioned bank
passwords oh
that's right yet Noah's family
passwords
and bank accounts or something
like that
yes and you think that they're
going
that deep into the content to
filter out
and that would be dangerous
or well I guess it would be
seen as spam
you have passwords Bank hmm or
at least
suspicious well the thing that
got me is
man this kid looks just like you
that's I couldn't get past that
it looks
just like my son is usually Wow
dude
he's a little baby she's a mini
JC D if
I ever saw one people's mouths
fall open
when they see that picture of
him way to
exploit him by the way Grahams
good job
yeah nobody gets the email yeah
well
alright so it's a Cinco de Mayo
there
for Mexico it is Theodore Bulls
is it
second birthday third second
second
birthday and I'm on the list by
the way
I never put him on the list
that's interesting no one put
him on the
list the whole Dvorak clan left
out
Theodore abused the kid for the
newsletter but don't give him
any any
props or anything in the show
huh so who
should I say this is coming
from is it
from grandpa John yeah what
does he call
you he's not a talker okay he's
not a
talker
well I'd say as long as he's
the entire
time he's not a talker talker is
probably good once they start
it's all
over yeah yeah yeah yeah it
also Liberation Day in the
Netherlands
which is celebrated quite
largely with
the day bu day today I think
that's nice
into the night yes yeah they
moved it to
the 9th I don't know if anyone
actually
celebrates it what do they do
on EU Day
[Music]
will be able to celebrate it on
the next
show I believe the 9th is
Thursday so
there works out perfectly we
can still
participate in EU Day nice and
today is
also mine the keepers 4th
anniversary of
our first date
do you have an anniversary of
your first
kiss too it is interesting how
women do
keep track of dates mine does
because
actually today was the 15th
ownership
you said mine mine what I put a
ring on
that that's what you get to own
it and
although the question is who's
really
owned here in the relationship
we
celebrated last night we went
out to
dinner for uh we went to one of
our
favorite places when we lived
downtown
which you can only go to once
in a while
it's true luxe
yeah the we talked about yeah
yeah well
it was nice so yes lots to
celebrate
today congratulations everybody
and I
wanted to jump in with
Venezuela for a
very specific reason because I
received
after the last show I received
three
separate emails one was
addressed to
both of us and John you replied
to it
did you remember when Hillary
Clinton
State Department was recruiting
and
training techno experts oh yeah
that
we've made a big deal about
that on the
show yeah she'd techno experts
in there
that's when there that's when
the
Internet in a box
was available that was part of
it and
they were training kids all
over the
world and getting him specially
special
techno expert universities that
I was
eventually handed over to Soros
well I
have a feeling that we've
looked at this
at this attempted coup and
pretty much
what we said on the last show
okay we
see what's going on but this is
this is
5050 ideas I said 80s you
correctly took
it back to the 50s they're
doing it in a
way that is wag the dog style
you know
it's not working we're not
falling for
television doesn't work the
same and so
now they bring out
I think the techno experts and
for some
bizarre reason they've latched
on to us
which could mean that were of
some
importance I don't know we're
honorably
think we're just on a list in
the State
Department but all of these
emails were
the same except they were from
different
people and I found this to be
interesting so Regency I only
got oh
well let's say that I got the
one which
I responded to mhm and and now
that you
mentioned it wasn't didn't
really make
any sense because it was not
based on
anything we said well exactly
know if I
got the other two maybe you
said oh no
the other two were just to me
so I don't
know if you got any
individually but
they were only sent to me so
the one the
one that you replied to was
from why
don't you read it and read my
reply oh
okay well you don't have your
reply
handy no I'm not ready for this
segment
so always be ready excuse me
Adam and
John you must correct your
stance on
Venezuela you have many donors
belonging
to the Venezuela diaspora and
Trump
slash Magus a Porter's you must
support
president Donald Trump Mike
Pompeo
Elliot Abraham's and John
Bolton in
seeking freedom and democracy
for the
Venezuelan people just like you
currently enjoy this is where
I'm
already like you're putting all
those
people into the same list it's
like yeah
we're supposed to support those
those
douchebags
nicolas maduro is an evil
authoritarian
dictator who's turned our once
wealthy
and flourishing country into a
basket
case and here comes the common
thread
please watch the video from dr.
steve
botanic on youtube
it is highly educational and
informative
and there's a link i'm sure if
you
change your stance donations
will
rapidly increase and will
highlight the
revolutionary success of the
village for
value model uh-huh last but not
least as
an American you should
genuinely support
the dismantling of Russian
Chinese
Iranian Hezbollah
narco-terrorism a lot
and to which you responded I
didn't
actually put the response in my
show
notes in my show prep but I
have it here
somewhere I thought was thought
I did at
least what would you say you
know we're
not here I said yeah we don't
like the
Maduro guy we never liked
Chavez but
we're here to deconstruct news
and make
news more understandable for
the public
and we're not here to promote
revolution
anyplace it's not what we do
we're news
and analysts period exact at
that
because that's what we do we
don't we're
not here to pound the drum for
some
operation
interestingly that we think we
even said
yeah you know we see what's
going on we
can't have ballistic missiles
from the
Russians just like the cube
root crisis
quote too close to us but Trump
should
just be honest and say here's
what we're
doing here's what we're doing
about it
so here's the next text of
techno and
expert the similarities are
interesting
user dearest Adam Curry you can
your
wrist
dearest you can almost hear the
the form
letter you sir are misleading
your
viewers so this persuade all
this is a
new one yeah this is a second
one yeah
yeah oh yeah so they don't
don't even
know what the show is but
listen because
it's the same as what you
receive so
this person does not know that
there's
nothing to view so they've
never heard
the show you sir are misleading
your
viewers and painting a cia-led
conspiracy theory on Van
Wailer this behavior is utterly
shameful
and short-sighted the
Venezuelan people
are struggling under a horrific
brutal
regime where women are raped and
children are tortured as
political
intimidation and retribution as
you have
cited numerous times here it is
dr.
Steve Pacino is an individual of
impeccable standing and
credibility in
the field of foreign affairs
I hear better if I refer you to
his
YouTube video on the matter
titled opus
147 Venezuela coup slow-start
he will find facts that you
should
repeat to your viewers on the
show this
coming Sunday hello viewers pay
attention President Trump and
his
national security team are
working
diligently and effortlessly to
bring
peace tranquility and
prosperity to the
Venezuelan people
unfortunately the illegal
Maduro regime
and its enablers Russia Iran
Cuba and
Hezbollah stand in the way we
Venezuelan
people wholeheartedly welcomed
and
encouraged Trump to take the
next step
military intervention whether
in the
form of ground troops or
precision
strikes against the Maduro
regime the
suffering cannot continue
please do not
be another enabler of the Maduro
communist regime we witness
enough of
that with code pink and elan
Omar your
criticism of John Bolton and
Elliott
Abrams is untoward untoward Wow
who says
that any more untoward the 50s
they have
us yes there you go they have
ushered in
prospering democracies in Latin
America
that have replaced totalitarian
dictatorships okay what name
would best
wishes Rodolfo so you see the
commonalities and then the
third one
dear Mr curry with utmost
interest I
listen to your show episode
1134 titled
opinion people in which you
discuss the
crisis in Venezuela your views
our
people we are suffering under
the
vicious dictator Nicolas Maduro
who has
used our country to provide
safe haven
to Russians Cubans Iranians and
Lebanese
terrorist group Hezbollah they
will use
Venezuelan territory to
instigate and
launch attacks against the
United States
and its people this is a threat
to you
and your family safety in
highest level
of an illegitimate Venezuelan
government
right-hand man - Maduro is
Lebanese
Hezbollah operative Tariq allah
sawas
I Sami the New York Times
exposed his
illegal activities in a
bombshell report
a few days ago linked he has
used
Venezuelan national resources
to prop up
Syrian mass murdering dictator
who gas
his own people bashar al-assad
till now he sends to syria
venez oil to
prop up Russian puppet Assad
he's
formally ally of it goes on and
on and
on I hope you reconsider and
change your
tune for your show on Sunday
you must
support liberation of Venezuela
from
crutches of these entities
Bolton Abrams
have the best interest of the
Venezuelan
people I suggest you listen to
dr. Steve
phonetic who supports the
liberation of
Venezuelan people through coup
or
military action we understand
if Trump
must use military and precision
strikes
against Venezuelan government to
liberate us you have previously
stated
dr. Steve is knowledgeable on
these
matters listen to him and
repeat on your
shawl from mr. Alec on your
show mr.
Alejandro Vasquez who is an
engineer and
techno consult apparently so
this is coordinated obviously
the the
the biggest commonality of
interest is
pichan ik and the PO genic link
so he
may be I guess botanics running
an op
could be and these are his
people or may
be form I don't know who it is
mr. Chen
ik good he would put one of the
mess one
of the emails would say your
viewers and
yeah and make it seem like this
could be
well I was kind of happy when I
got this
matter in some small
insignificant way
someone cares about what we say
I wasted
my time was my email back to
this guy
because it went felt it would
not only
fell on deaf ears but didn't
even go to
anybody this was not there was
not
nothing to respond to on this
you can't
even get to a back-and-forth
because these are just a Braj
yeah well
as only three is not a bra if
it was
more of uh I'm sure somebody
some people
get ba Rajas and if we get a
barrage at
some point but but it would be
too
obvious the problem with us is
that
since all we really do is
deconstruct
stuff we don't take sides
necessarily I
mean we take somewhat of a sign
here and
there but since we don't a
sense we're
mostly in the deconstruction
they can't
send us a barrage because it
would be
too obvious
it was obvious with only three
what are
they gonna do now because we
actually
read the emails we actually
analyze the
emails and we find three
sketchy emails
that come in pretty much
formulaic and
we identify them immediately
and then
report on him but you can't be
sending
us stuff like this if it
appears to me
that the sushi this is a
continuation of
their 50 1950 strategy's the
way they're
doing this I mean it's not just
douchey
it's short-sighted and just
dumb I mean
how are we not gonna figure
this out so
they take a bunch of someone's
taking a
bunch of techno experts now I
personally
I'm thinking our own State
Department
would do this I'm sure that's
where they
have they have list of important
podcasts I'm sure Rogan is
getting what
getting emails and you know -
ever else
if you mention if you mentioned
Venezuela in the wrong way then
you get
an email from the State
Department but
they're even even what they're
doing um
in mainstream so this is from
the BBC
they're still using well in
this case
I'll say the means from the 80s
to get
everybody all riled up this is
a spokes
hole for Guido a Vanessa
Neumann and
she's talking to the BBC
well let's dr. Huang why those
representative here in the UK
she's dr.
Vanessa annoy Minh welcome to
the
program yesterday was a
disaster for you
wasn't it no absolutely not
in fact we are keenly aware
that this is
the beginning of a longer term
operation
we know that this is a protest
you do
not overthrow a 20 year
dictatorship
really
in one day especially with the
military
that is basically the world's
biggest
drug cartel and part of the
reason why
they are not flipping is
because they
make eight point eight billion
dollars a
year off their illicit trade
which
includes narcotics weapons
gasoline and
the food that they provide to
the little
bit of food that they provide
to the
starving people
this is unstoppable what we do
have is
that everybody from the middle
ranks on
down their families in them in
the
military their families are also
starving they their children
are also
dying of a lack of medicine
there is
still oppression in the
barracks do not
forget that they operate in the
state of
terror so we have over a hundred
military commanders who have
previously
attempted uprisings before they
even the
appearance of gly though in
order to
come in in line with the
Constitution
they are being tortured so we
are aware
that this is a protest we are
fighting
for
not just for freedom but for
very lives
our compatriots so we know that
this is
going now the military majesty
they did
not fire on us yeah commander
we we have
sense weakness and we know we
can take
it all the way just not giving
up it's
yeah they're starving us and
it's
horrible and then you always
got to
bring this one in were you a
senior
figures to come over to your
side
yesterday there and yet and if
so you
must be disappointed that they
suddenly
back down well I think that you
know
this this is a negotiation I
mean I
think it's I think it's a
disappointment
that all military will not will
not
defend the Constitution we are
still
engaging them president Wong
why though
is the constitutional leader
what we have is Maduro is a
leading a
drug cartel which is the number
one
provider of narcotics to the
United
Kingdom money that that won't
step aside
and let the Constitution happen
so if we
can't reduce it happen and we
think that
eventually they will okay we
know that
they will because there are
actually
still having those
conversations and
there's still a plane to take
Maduro out
this woman lives in Britain
it's almost
like the Syrian observe a ssin
group or
whatever which is one guy
in Long Island and yeah
pretending to be
tweeting from the frontlines
yeah so
it's it's incredibly embarrassed
this is getting Morris kinky
but a
second and did they have any
way out I
guess I guess we're talking
about the
guys trying to overturn the
government
and take over the place and
yeah the
drug business for themselves
well you
say oil I say that I'm sorry I
don't
expect to get any more notes
yeah I
don't know they just like I
said I
recall it what it is it was a
Bosch and
it remains a botch and now
they're just
making it worse they have to
regroup so
how do I approach botanic about
this I
got a call dude did you like
send a
whole bunch of techno experts
to me or
hey definitely stop emailing me
Steve
how about that hey stop
emailing me but
I would believe the following
he doesn't
he's not-- he probably has some
hint at
this I don't think he's behind
it
because he's got other things
to do he's
not kids did I'm sure right I
think he's
ever listened and he doesn't
listen to
the show yeah and you should
tell him
what's going on and that
they're using
him as leverage to that's the
way that's
the approach right they're
probably
doing this with everybody
anything and
it's apparently obvious to you
because
you saw these messages mm-hmm
he should
do something about it
all right I will report back on
Thursday
if Thursday ever comes gonna be
a long
week you think I don't know
it's like
you know you start messing with
the
techno experts techno experts
or techno
we need we have a like a clip or
something about the techno
experts I'm
sure we have something staged
techno
experts what's this hold on
oh the stupid clock comes from
our Farsi
feed at US aid our Farsi yet
the 2-part
quite let me get to Newland
techno
experts um I'm the support
dating back I
think it's almost two years now
there
was support thing when
ambassador Ford
was still there and he would go
out to
meet with the local for naming
committees now that's too long
what is
this Hillary on meddling with
the way
way stop stop there is
something you
know I talk about millou's and
identifiable mil used by voices
yeah
that was Matt Lee no not him huh
the woman who did the opening
this
wordage in that clip yes it has
the
exact same voice and probably
from the
same area of if you have the
clip of the
NPR woman the voice of the
person asking
the NPR woman about okay that's
the
hardest clip to find I always
mess it up
so I'll take your word for it
that's
this exact same voice oh yeah
of course
how about this one we're doing
a lot of
work to try to come up with
technologies
that can circumvent the jamming
and the
interruptions and the tracking
that the
the regime are engaged in right
now you
know is more effective than
others to
use technology to circumvent
internet it
is freedom of speech and being
into it
but we have also seen the
regime in its
about it wrong anyway I can't
find I
should have I should look for
that
earlier yes
techno experts I'll talk to him
we'll
see what happens see if
anything pops up
in other
got nothing like he's being
used as
she's being used as a tool but
to say
that Elliott Abrams and Bolton
are good
guys I don't care what pressure
you're
under
I agree with this just not this
no no
they're just not no no it's in
particular Oh Abrams sabers is
a music
cool yeah these are they're
terrible to
two terrible guys yep
but I hope that everyone in
Venezuela
gets what they want I do I just
want it
really but I just want people
to no
longer no longer be sleeping
under I 35
yeah yeah it doesn't do you any
good at
35 problem though are you
yeah and step out of your car
in the
morning you got a needle right
next to
you you're a boy you're
stepping in poop
it's a human poop well
something a
couple interesting things going
on and I
did get a reply hated to do it
but I did
follow the Miss USA yeah I
missed it
when was this uh
I think was Friday night or
maybe sit
you could have been Saturday or
Friday
night great so you watched you
saw
something who got the
highlights watch
because these shows are too
long and
they're boring and they're dumb
but
they're always political and the
questions are funny and that's
why we
follow it that's pretty much
all I do
and the thing was though there
was a
there was a there was a
overlaying
overly to explain it but there
were
there was an overlay to the to
the event
and the overlay consists of an
something
going on in the Bay Area and I
believe
it's going on all across the
country and
it's called natural hair not
this is a
movement yes big time let's
listen to
NAT SB 188 one of ours
California state
senators introducing bill
Senate bill
188 to address this problem
listen about
188 by senator Mitchell and AK
relating
to discrimination senator
Mitchell thank
you very much Madame president
colleagues today I'm presenting
SB 188
the crown
to the goal the act to create a
respectful and open workplace
for
natural hair colleagues the
purpose of
introducing this bill and
bringing it
before you today is really
twofold first
to help dispel myths and
educate those
of you who needed about the
unique
qualities of black hair its
texture and
the black hair experience
secondly is to
challenge common held myths
about what
constitutes professionalism in
the
workplace until very recently a
Google
image search for called
unprofessional
hairstyles yielded only
pictures of
black women with their natural
hair or
rate or wearing braids or twists
although disheartening this
fact was not
very surprising Eurocentric
standards of
beauty have established the very
underpinnings of what was
acceptable and
attractive in the media and
academic
settings and in the workplace
and so
even though African Americans
were no
longer explicitly excluded from
the
workplace black features and
mannerisms
remained unacceptable and quote
unprofessional until recent
decades
black men and women didn't often
challenge these standards they
donned
wigs or straighten their hair
with harsh
chemical relaxers to meet those
Eurocentric standards some
people
believe that this is an issue
of the
past that were beyond such
outright
discrimination based on
appearance yeah
I think I saw this or an
article nodded
but I didn't know it was a that
they did
I don't fit past but I didn't
know there
was a law they were looking
into it this
past 37 zip and so meanwhile
all across
the country there are stories
like this
this is the GNAT hair girl in
Lake
County to change her locks they
had a
problem with her natural hair
Fox 35s
Daniel Lama is live on this one
she's in
Lake County with her story dad
now
what's the problem here well
guys
we started looking into this
story when
a mom called us upset her
straight-a
student was being singled out
because of
her hair we started making
phone calls
to the school mom had a meeting
and
tonight there's a new dress
code policy
here at Montford Academy people
say they
love my hair cause it's so
diverse and
curly in Afrocentric 16 year
old Nicole
or says she's known for her
hair but she
never thought she would be
singled out
in school because of it I
received a
call saying that my daughter
needed to
get her hair done and she wears
her hair
natural and I was kind of taken
aback by
it her parents say a school
administrator contacted them
and said
this violated their dress code
she literally felt that well
what's
wrong with my hair the
Caucasian girls
are able to wear their natural
hair
straight why can't I wear my
natural
hair the way that it grows they
were
referred to the handbook where
one line
in particular stood out said
trip like
hair and so that could be
ambiguous and
it could give you latitude to
target is
this all in California I
believe this
would be going on everywhere
and I think
it's part of a bigger movement
and it
was confirmed as important
because Miss
USA coincidentally has natural
hair okay
as she's got that boobs just
it's such a
hair her hair it's it's done
it's not as
though it's just sticking out
everywhere
but so it's quite attractive on
her and
she's a beautiful woman she was
one of
the prettiest girls in and made
it clear
to us over and over referring
to the
fact that she's a lawyer this
is a
Chelsea Crist from North
Carolina yes
yeah it looks like Diana Ross
had this
hair for a while in the late
70s 80s
yeah so it's a natural it's not
afro no
it's just the hair just hanging
all over
the place and attractively in
this
woman's case but it's been cut
and
trimmed and make the made to
look the
best it could but it's but it's
a bigger scheme because all
these things
are incremental you don't just
make a
big fuss about something that's
obviously something you don't
need to
make a fuss about but they do
it anyway
and so there's a bitching and
moaning
about this natural hair and
they have
the students and I'm sure
there's other
people can find stories around
the
country that have this situation
occurring but this is a
movement I
noticed this some years ago and
they
started too big and they pull
back and
disappeared and they're
deciding to go
with that well where where were
these
social justice warriors when I
got fired
once for my hair from MTV they
hired me
back but they fired me because I
wouldn't cut it
you wouldn't cut it or you
wouldn't cut
the hair I would not cause
we're out
there now the thing that I
picked up on
this a long time ago that what
this is
really about ystem is to is to
Inc you
start to increment because
their initial
the initial attempted to in
California
was about it was during our
show era but
it was early on and it was an
attempt to
and all discrimination against
appearance mm-hmm and this was
for
people who would go into a job
interview
with spikes in their face and
face tasks
hidden cameras hidden camera
stuff ear
get gauged ears so they had a
big hole
in their head I mean there were
horrible
looking people and so they were
going
for anti discrimination laws
and nobody
was buying it because employers
weren't
can I hire these people
especially if
they were front-facing in other
words
they're gonna be an account or
secular
stuff when I go into a doughnut
shop and
I see some guy with gauged ears
and the
boning is no it doesn't make
you not
want the doughnut doesn't that
make you
want I don't want the doughnut
I shall
not buy the doughnut you're
incredibly
bigoted mr. dvorak you won't
buy the
doughnut because someone's got a
blown-out earlobe like guys
creeping me
out I'm
binder donut so so they backed
off on
this this idea because they
went too far
right away and I believe that
this
natural hair thing is an
increment and
they're gonna start to move
forward
again with it in mind at
long-term you
have to hire somebody who's got
you know
holes in their ears and and
bones in
their nose and we're already
like maybe
some of the one guy in Oakland
got a
couple of horns that he had
implanted
into his brain into his skull
painted
his face red so he looks like
the devil
you have to hire him that's
what this is
about
well yeah of course if he's
talented you
got a higher I mean if it's a
foot I can
see the issue if it's a
customer-facing
job but I guess they're going
after
exactly that huh that's what
they're
going for yeah it's not the
same as your
hair comes out of your head as
it comes
out of your head the horns don't
naturally come out of the head
so that's
and it's not exactly a natural
ward I
tell you it this reminds me of
its
marketing tricks I mean a lot of
marketing strategies that you
start with
the hardest thing to do and
that's what
they did when they tried to
make it so
you can't discriminate against
people
because of their appearance
right
and so that failed because if
that went
through then what's the point
of doing
anything else who cares is all
done but
that it wasn't gonna happen
because it
just it doesn't make any sense
and so
now they're backing off and
they're
gonna increment things to see
how far
they get and so they and who is
they
they it's very it's the vaso
KSA's it's
the politically correct elites
elites
but it's a certain group of
them I don't
know what their point is but
let's go
back to Miss USA and here we
have we
have a natural hair winner this
woman
from North Carolina who just
goes on
every chance you get she says
she's a
liar or her law firm she said
was one of
quotes okay now I looked at the
women as
they came out and picked my one
two
three four five six or seven of
the ones
I thought they were the
prettiest and
they all got into the top 15
except for
Alaska who may have been she's
kind of
he has exaggerated features I
may have
been she's two more moist looks
like
that she looked like an
exaggerated
elizabeth berkley if anybody
remembers
that actress hmm and Miss
Kentucky who
should have been called up and
she was
dumped uh then when they
brought the top
15 out I thought the best the
one that
should have been the winner or
the best
one was that blondie from
Florida who I
thought was very pretty but she
got
kicked at the end where they
had no
whites it was there wasn't all
black
finals I know when one Latina
made a big
point of it and then also a
lawyer one
Latino one woman who was black
and
Chippewa or something she's a
very
strange-looking combination of
people
and then Miss North Carolina
who was a
beautiful woman and could have
won any
competition but they were
obviously not
going to let her compete with
everybody
but because she had the natural
hair
there was two women two black
women that
had natural hair and this one
was the
one that there was gonna be
picked but
needless to say I felt the
thing was
semi rigged but
imagine that so he had the one
Mexican
the two blacks at the end as
the three
finalists they had five
finalists and
they were eliminated they
eliminated two
of them first I don't know why
they do
it this way but they did a
parliamentary
inquiry procedural question was
this the
year where they had no bathing
suits no
they had bad news business you
were
saying that Miss America oh I'm
sorry
okay my mistake
all right good well let some
commentary
on the who had the best figure
oh yeah
miss Florida handled herself
the best in
the bathing suit too
miss Ohio got in who for a
while in 2015
and she looked like Savannah
Guthrie and
and then in one view she looked
a little
like Mickey I should remind I
should
remind everybody that we do
this from a
television production
standpoint and not
a old douchebag white guy who's
sitting
a sprog standpoint yeah we do
do from a
very objective perspective
particularly
because it's political well
that's the
thing that that this was the
worst case
scenario because in this case
they've
been over the years we've
noticed
they've been slipping in more
and more
and more political questions
hoping that
people spew some sort of
left-wing
message that's my belief and
this viewer
is all I have all five
questions they're
short I cut them way down so
you only
have the court you don't have
the intro
and miss so you Arkansas come
out hello
and they I killed all that and
we have
the five questions and answers
that I
got so this is short and then I
have the
Miss North Carolina's answer to
the last
question where they asked the
same exact
question this is pretty just by
the way
to amuse me to no end so they
got to cut
the question that they have
were the
three girls and they're gonna
ask the
same question so they put a
headphones
on them and as soon as they
said they're
gonna do that I said holy crap
how are
they going to do this with Miss
North
Carolina with her natural hair
her hair
it was theirs you couldn't find
any of
you be about a foot between the
headphone and her head
so it was basically a racist
thing for
them to even suggest well I
think there
wasn't in fact but the solution
was
simple
bring her out first you never
put
perfect innovative alright so
let's
listen to some questions here
starting
with Miss USA Arkansas
okay all right your question is
America
is one of the most racially
diverse
countries in the world yet it
is also
one of the most racially
divided why do
you think this is well I think
diversity
is one of the most unique
things about
our country and it's one of the
most
special and we should cultivate
that we
shouldn't be divided we
shouldn't look
at our fellow contestants our
fellow man
and say you are like me so I
don't like
you you don't look like me so I
am
racist against you we should
come
together and involve everyone
in our
lives
I think these 51 contestants
that have
stood up here tonight represent
our
country so well because they
are so
diverse you don't look like me
so I'm
racist against don't be racist
on that
matter on that mofo don't look
at me so
I'm a racist against you so she
was the
one white girl in the fire she
was the
disk question even order out
she's done
done she was going on and on
about
diversity but this was you
notice this
message was also in the report
about the
natural hair which we played
earlier
where hair is diversity
according to the
girl wearing clothes
frizzy-haired of
course it is hair is diversity
now okay
well whatever so let's go to
Miss USA
Nevada's question so your
question is in
October my friend Kelsey Quayle
was
fatally shot while innocently
driving to
work and your opinion what is
the
largest contributing factor to
the high
rate of gun violence
in our nation Oh God can I can
I take
this one can I can I answer
this one
you won't quite get it right
because the
girl I'm expecting her to say
the
problem is guns because guns
kill people
I think that what contributes
to the
high rate of gun violence is the
availability to all of the
weapons I
think there has to be another
look into
the gun reform and we have to
consider
mental health in this situation
as well
because this is not just about
guns this
is about what is going on in
the in the
minds of these so she starts
off with
the right answer by gun reform
even
though orthogonal thing the gun
recoils
she says mental health for some
reason I
think this applause I went on
too late
and it sounded so they're
applauding her
mention of mental health I
think they
are applauding hurting her the
case was
you know she was on one track
and she
changed tracks
well she's oh my god this is
I'm on the
right track is who so soon so
dropping
the gun availability issue she
went on
and on about mental health and
I thought
that was Larry but I also think
that's
the right answer for this crowd
that is
what the diverse social justice
warriors
want to hear because you get
you know
therefore the person who uses
the gun to
kill people is also a victim
you say
look into the gun reform and we
have to
consider mental health in this
situation
as well because
or maybe just someone walked by
like
Jack Nicholson or something
this is
about what is going on in the
in the
minds of these of these it's
definitely
a mental health issue it's not
justice
at any point was there steam
coming out
of her ears when she was trying
to
answer the question was like
will plumes
of smoke
I wouldn't say dingbat no
that'd be very
rude it was she was so cute and
she was
trying to get the answer out
and she I
think she just was confused
okay did
anyone have a question about
Trump come
on I don't think there was a
direct
question about Trump let's go
to USA
Miss New Mexico the 2020
election is
right around the corner what is
one
issue you would like all
candidates to
address and why well being from
a border
state and being born and raised
in a
border city immigration is
something
that is very important to me
this is not
a black and white issue and
that is why
we need to have discussions and
continue
to listen to each other I think
that
there's so many people out
there wanting
the American dream and my
parents
immigrated here from Monterrey
Mexico
[Applause]
and their representation of
their
American dream Thank You New
Mexico
where was this held this miss
event I
think was in Vegas or Reno okay
all
right
David Reno that's a safe safe
answer
safe safe safe yeah it was okay
safe she
was pretty and and then we have
not yet
there's guide to North Carolina
here you
don't want to play the final
question
I'm gonna play Miss USA North
Carolina
that's this is the winner and
this is
her answer to this disease this
dumb
series of questions which were
asked by
by the losers by the way before
before
we move on now do they have
judges in
the that's on the panel the
judges yeah
there are judges who was that
who were
the judges I don't know only
one that
matters is you John I'm just
asking as a
mage there's just a bunch of
slobs and
they're given a script I mean
judging
anything so your question is
for the
past two years the hash tag me
too and
hash tag time's up have
dominated our
national conversation however
some
believe it has only deepened
the divide
between men and women have
these movements gone too far I
don't
think these movements have gone
too far
what me too and times up are
about our
making sure that we fosters
safe and
inclusive workplaces in our
country as
an attorney that's exactly what
I want
to hear that's exactly what I
want for
this country I think they're
good
movement Thank You Carolina
yeah yeah
that that's sad kind of but
then maybe
it's good for women when the
talent
portion of the competition is
your
lawyer because that's really
what what
it is I mean it used to be I
can twirl a
baton oh I can dance I can play
a piano
I can I'm a ventriloquist but
now you
just show up you're a lawyer I
think you
you're you kind of got a couple
steps
ahead right there oh she was
milking it
too now fantastic good honor
her law
firm she mentioned earlier what
kind of
law does she practice did we
learn that
never we never found out it you
ever saw
a wiki page will determine that
but that
answer she's gonna be quicker
on her
feet than most of them and so
the last
question comes up and I didn't
record
all of them it was not it was
not that
interesting but I did record
the winners
North Carolina's answer to the
last
question which everybody got
asked not
everybody but the three
finalists got
asked and this is and that was
Oklahoma
New Mexico and North Carolina
and all
southern states are states
south and
this is the question this is
her answer
and it was you know here's your
question
Millennials are often labeled as
entitled but they've also been
called
one of the most socially
conscious
generations in decades
what is one word you would use
to
describe your generation and
I would say that my generation
is
innovative I'm standing here in
Nevada
in the state that has the first
majority
female legislature in this
entire
country the first generation to
have
that forward-looking mindset
that has
inclusivity diversity and
strength and
empowered women I'm looking
forward to
continued progress with my
generation
thank you that sounds good I
can see
what except for the fact that
the
majority women legislature and
Nevada's
not Millennials but okay she'll
take
credit for it
like Millennials do I was
thinking this
take credit for it if you know
like you
said I'm the judge here last
night I
realized that we are now into
our second
generation of producers on this
show
we're in 11 years what didn't
we just do
then we educate an entire
generation and
now we're taking on their
younger their
younger siblings or who else
who else is
coming now well we're hoping so
now is
she going to leave her law
practice and
go on the tour and speak to
children and
particularly young girls around
the
world is that is that what
she's going
to do is that let's see
she's a be honest about she's a
beautiful woman with a lot of
potential
for media she's gonna be honest
if he's
gonna be on TV so quick
actually there's
a Dewar's at least I would say
at least
ten women throughout the
competition
that are just yet anchorwoman
written
all over me you know good news
reader
maybe just news model we attend
to call
that spokesmodel and so they
have so she
let's go over this and and now
let's
analyze your question why he's
asking so
you have this woman that said
and she's
actually more less media more
movies
mm-hmm that's what you know she
has that
look of a movie actress uh yeah
and she
has a choice of going on the
road and
and showing you know herself to
be just
various groups and practicing
being in
front of large audiences or she
could
stay at her law firm and Drudge
your way
and a day-to-day basis going
over
paperwork in contracts yeah I
think I'd
love to be on CNN all day well
maybe she
could replace joy Reid she's
gonna be at
that love she's Network you
could tell
she's hey she could end up on
Fox
because she's a lawyer nothing
PBS needs
her in the NewsHour the word
Gwen would
we lost Gwen Ifill
we need a replace you with this
yummy SH
woman yes Nelson yeah Michelle
LLC on
door or come come hell's
Comicon Cui's
the door and she they're not
gonna I
don't know how to deal with her
she's
very amateurish and she should
be out
and this woman doesn't look
like a news
type she really looks like she
should be
an enact an actress and have
been in the
Hollywood period well speaking
of
speaking of natural hair
I watched the knock down the
house
documentary on Netflix which is
an
award-winning Sundance
documentary I
might point out which features
the for
social justice Democrats and
how they
were picked and how they were
trained
and it's their own it's the
their own
footage and they're very proud
of how
they did it and it's I recommend
everybody watch it and you the
see Amy
vilela cory bush Paula Jean
swearing-in
they didn't win you can end it
all so
they've really cut down their
pieces
significantly in this
documentary but
aoc Wow
I mean it proves you really can
take
someone who's standing by in a
bar and
you can put them in the US
Congress and
it was well done and it was
emotional
III always get emotional by
achievement
so I I like that
the thing that really struck me
though
is and and this comes back to
the
natural hair it starts off and
she's in
her
I think it's a hotel room I
don't think
it's her apartment or hotel
room and
she's doing her makeup in the
morning
she's talking about how it's so
easy for
man because he is throw on you
know they
just throw on a suit and tie
and they're
done with thanks no that's not
true but
okay let's say you believe it
and she's
the women have to put on their
makeup
and so she was completely
without makeup
and John I got to tell you with
the with
the long hair and her Latin you
know
features I had I did a
double-take she
looked just like Christina's
ex-boyfriend Juan from Los
Angeles it
was uncanny completely
different this
one was the same law and Juan
is you
know he's like 30 in LA he's
going
nowhere gloves wrestling and no
wonder
Christina dumped him he's a
great guy
he's a sweet guy and very
talented
artist but does nothing with it
but he's
just this is one she looks like
a man is
that what you're telling me
yeah to me yeah without her
makeup it's
very very different anyway now
you
really understand that when
she's got
her notes and when she's
following the
the program and her train her
script
then she's you know it's fine
and the
minute she goes off she loses
the plot
but she's come yeah you can see
how this
works it's great and they had
some money
I don't know who that justice
Democrats
they had money to get this
going I'm
sure they have a lot more but
it's they
have a lot more now they didn't
have
that much then no they had a
little bit
with their headquarters in
Kentucky but
there were 20 people on the
payroll
getting stuff done a lot of his
border
lines very very of course very
impressive though I was
impressed by its
impressive operation there's no
doubt
about it
deplorable but depressed was
deplorable
and all right let's talk about
the purge
for a moment I am very happy to
report
that NPR's whenever it's about
anything
from Silicon Valley even if
it's a a
political conversation about
who's being
deep platformed this week they
love to
bring in their Millennials this
one's
kind of
special though Paris Martineau
covers
social media and internet
culture for
Wired magazine and joins us
from our
studios in New York so exactly
who who
are we talking about who was
banned yeah
so I'm on Thursday afternoon
Facebook
banned six high-profile
extremists and
one conspiracy theorists cite
high-profile
extremists this is good Laura
Loomer is
a high-profile extremist
apparently I
mean she's one of the the six
that got
blatant extremist in what what
realm
extremists her noon Facebook
banned six
high-profile extremists and one
conspiracy theorist site that
includes
inflammatory figure heads in
the far
right like Laura Loomer
Infowars Alex
Jones and Paul Joseph Watson as
well as
white supremacist Paul nellen
and
radical Muslim preacher Louis
Farrakhan
so President Trump and other
conservatives have accused
various
social media companies for
censoring
right woman she's talking too
fast well
they're they're both kind of
did the one
from Wired is almost doing in
there was
an ASMR recording stressed and
then the
other ones just blast and
Pastor Trump
and other conservatives have
accused
various social media companies
for
censoring right-wing opinions
of Alex
Jones monopolist lose Farrakhan
they've
been around for a long time so
why is
Facebook doing this now so a
facebook
spokesperson told me that the
company
has always banned individuals
and
organizations that promote or
engage in
violence and hate regardless of
ideology
but the people and organization
ban
Thursday were just as extreme
and
peddled just as much
misinformation and
hate a year ago as they did
Thursday
what's been the fallout from
this the
fallout has largely been the
people
banned protests in their band
there was a bit of a snafu in
the fact
that Facebook kind of seeded a
number of
media outlets on Thursday
afternoon with
this story in advance then I'm
gonna
stop this for a second
here's what's interesting about
this
there was no official press
release no
written word from Facebook
about this at
all and it went around really
fast
because this so-called snafu
where they
ceded some press I think
Atlantic and a
couple others of maybe waffleh
waffleh
waffleh waffleh and and they
and they
said well here's what's going
down he
was gonna happen but they
hadn't knocked
those people off yet so they
were just
letting everybody know ahead of
time
that they were going to be
kicked off
and so and that was under
embargo
because of course yes the
willing media
is very willing to sit on that
ha ha ha
I will wait under embargo until
you kick
them off I'm still reporting
now I live
with a communications expert
and she
says this is bogut if that
would be the
keeper so this is Bogut if they
that's
no snafu they're trying to be
relevant
because I'm quoting now because
all
Facebook is now is old people
and
nonprofits which I thought was
pretty
good analysis and they're just
trying to
show that they are clean as a
whistle
for whatever may be lurking
behind this
I'm sure there was not some
horrible
outrage that ensued over Laura
Loomer or
whatever she might have posted
or Paul
Joseph Watson I've heard his
material
it's later I can't even watch
it should
be thrown off because it's not
entertaining how about that I'm
with you
on that Facebook was listening
the rest
of this and there was a bit of
a snafu
in the fact that Facebook kind
of seeded
a number of media outlets in
Thursday
afternoon with this story in
advance
then struggled to actually take
down the
accounts at the time these
extremists
figure heads to publish on
their face
and soon to be vent Instagram
accounts
follow me on the other platform
huh
so is this I mean is this
setting a
precedent or we're gonna see
Facebook
continue to ban accounts and
who makes
those decisions those are all
great
questions
Facebook is like Facebook
oftentimes
going to do whatever it wants
and will
it'll be interesting to see how
it
continues to apply this going
forward
whether it'll stick with it
thank you
for your courage
thank you for your Fri no I
have some
thoughts about this you any
thoughts
about why this is taking place
why they
why they've done this seemingly
for for
no real issue
oh I mean if I I don't have any
serious
thoughts I have some unserious
thoughts
like maybe this isn't prelude
for the
2020 elections they want to
keep anybody
who's uh who might you know
interfere
with it with the litany with
the West
Coast liberal bias you don't
need this
kind of aggravation people
questioning
Authority I don't know
Zuckerberg has
been calling for regulation for
a while
I mean he said now it's time
for the
government to regulate the
Internet so
I'm thinking he's setting he's
planting
a flag but maybe you know
MasterCard has
been I think they're holding a
shareholder vote to determine
whether
MasterCard should have a
program in
place that can cut off payments
for far
right on the political scale
Facebook is
also trying to do they wanted
to a
currency a crypto currency and
they're
looking I think they were
looking to do
like a billion dollar all coin
offering
or something like that yeah 1
billion
and they've been talking to a
lot of
banks and maybe that maybe
they're
talking to
MasterCard I don't know it to
me this
feels like a corporate move in
in regard
like there's something they
want to do
and do they want to make sure
they don't
have it's like brand safe to
the extreme
let's put it that way
you
why don't they do it in general
though I
mean there's some very
important but
people on Facebook and Twitter
for that
matter her on the left I would
say how
does Carl Reiner continue to
spew his
venom pointer it makes no sense
to me
yeah well then the only thing
what
brands say for the left I mean
what you
is just to encourage Democrats
to
advertise their I'm not sure
what I'm
gonna get it well I was talking
more
about if you're invited
everybody wants
to be beat all Silicon Valley
companies
it ultimately have one final
goal Apple
is getting there
they want to be your bank now
Paul I
think is pretty far along
Google has
their initiatives Facebook has
been
looking at this for a long time
they all
want to control and whether
they really
your bank or whether they're
just
controlling your purchase
mechanism
they're taking a piece of the
action
right but they they want to be
a much
much much bigger player in that
where
else are they going to go they
already
have your information the only
thing the
only data they don't actually
have 100%
access to is the data in your
bank
account they want to control
that too
that's in there that is in
their DNA
that's what these companies do
they need
to grow I'll get you your
making it
you're not connecting the dots
okay the mechs well no I'm
connecting
the dots by saying MasterCard
which is
an important player and anyone
who's
going to do anything with any
type of
money will have to deal with
MasterCard
online they're talking about
having a
committee that can deep lat
form users
from even using their
transaction system
Facebook wants to do
transactions maybe
they're prepping for some kind
of big
deal that's what I understand
that part
of your argument I just don't
understand
why does it have to be a bunch
of
right-wingers or borderline
right-wingers are just
goofballs like
Laura Loomer who loom arises
people and
you know makes fools out of
them and
interrupts public meetings to
make some
you know valid points I think
in many
cases I don't get it why why
just them
well they also kicked off
hurricanes so
you know that was easy exactly
it's joy
swage the right oh we got rid
of Farah
can - who else who else did you
get rid
of besides Farah can new nobody
know
we'll see
and we already compared to like
Paul
like to Watson and Loomer I
would put
both in the categories if it's
like
Darren did them they're not
promoting
hate or weirdness or anything
it seems
to me watching just complains
and Loomer
just tries to make fools let it
be
that's my feeling I don't even
think of
the Alex Jones is much more
than a
really entertaining guy so
what's your
theory I don't have one okay
all right
my theories is just trying to
stop
right-wing debates or they're
just
trying to prove to you
signaling to the
douchebags and silicon value
for some
unknown reason over the last 20
or 30
years with god cover left-wing
right
after wingers get it that must
be very
disturbing to live there and
see that
happen it was extremely
disturbing you
know but it more of a quizzical
thing is
like wait a minute this
happened I know
some of the reasons for it I
mean John
Doerr is one of the number one
Democrat
supporters and a big promoter
of this to
the point where he calls people
out and
he gets into artists - is he
still a big
deal in in Silicon Valley even
after all
these failures it's just the
money
including my company well he's
not the
big deal he once was right and
insofar
as venture capital is concerned
he's not
no they don't turn to him but
when it
comes to politics which is
where he
resides now I mean he's the one
who
brought Al Gore into the car
he's the
one who was pramana renew bono
but bar
Novato and Green Green Green
that's an
invest in green that's where
the money
is it was a huge green tech
green tech
um it goes back to if anybody
wants to
chide you I don't even know
anybody
still at Kleiner Perkins knows
about the
snow blower
Fiasco of years early snow
blower fee I
don't even know the snow blower
fiasco
yeah apparently they funded
some what
they thought was gonna be the
future of
something all I remember is
this vague
now but it's a invested
millions and
millions of some snow blower
company
that somehow it catches the
snow blower
to a bicycle and the sidewalk
system I
don't remember I mean I know
that they I
think they participated in the
first at
the Segway I remember that oh
the Segway
they were all this they were
all over on
this but while everybody in the
offices
was right I never saw anybody
driving
around but they all had a
Segway and
they all have these big
glassed-in
offices back and each one
haven't had a
Segway plot plugged into the
wall as if
they were gonna use it and then
when
they when they got the 500
million that
was Ray Lane he got the 500
million
dollars from the government to
support
Fisker which went up its
literal smoke
everybody was driving Fiskars
and
plugging them in new me I got a
plug in
my at $300,000 car yes you be I
guess
the moral of the story is he
would be
surprised how the people who
fund a lot
of companies and then really
run what
goes where how inadequate and
stupid
they are yeah well they made
the money
is made on the leverage with
the very
few companies that just
skyrocket in
value and it makes everybody
filthy rich
is like this shake of the dice
it's just
they didn't even get in on
Google they
had to buy in because they
taste the
bones like it's a credit for it
yeah
everybody I noticed this too
it's like I
know when Google started and
then all of
a sudden it starts to go public
all
these guys buy in at the
highest prices
so they could say they were
part of the
founding crap yeah it was a I'd
heard
that whole story from I think
maybe from
John doar told me where they
had to it
would the deal with this some
deal was
happening and they
weren't in on it and then they
called it
was it you got it we got to be
in on
this deal and then they did
this at
three in the morning so they
still had a
piece of it because it would be
too
embarrassing
it's where were you guys when
Google
happened yeah kind of exactly
well with
that John jean-claude I would
like to
thank you for your courage and
say in
the morning to you the man who
put the
see everyone in the troll room
no agenda
stream comm is where you
control to your
heart's content you can do it
with your
other fellow trolls come in as
a lone
troll whatever you need and we
love it
because I think in my
one-liners I get
to correct it get information
and
sometimes I've it's just fun to
be
trolled thank you no agenda
stream com
merci beaucoup also in the
morning to
woody I do not believe woody
has ever
scored a pick for album art no
he's done
a couple over the stem floor
nice that's
more than a couple that's
several done
several over the course of his
career
and nailed it with the bar
bunch in the
Brady Bunch
montage for episode 1134 that
episode
was titled opinion people and
it was
just good I mean it's it's a
classic
it's we've had them similar to
this
before but he can't go wrong
with
bringing in all of the nut jobs
and bar
and call it the bar brunch it
was a it
was fun
good and we appreciate it woody
thank
you very much no agenda art
generator
calm which thanks Paul for
keeping that
thing fresh up and running it's
part of
our value for value model and
people
doing stuff you're all
producers truly
fascinating you know we're such
a great
group I was looking at some of
the
meetup pictures and looking at
the list
of meetups what we've achieved
here and
not you and I but with
everybody it's
it's pretty phenomenal when you
think
about the talent the knowledge
the
knowledge that people have and
I mean it
goes from 6 euros Bob
nine-year-olds to
retired Marine Colonel 'z we've
got
doctors we've got I got a ton
of Big
Pharma people who are giving us
their
boots on the ground reporting
it's just
there's so much I don't think
anyone can
really can really get to where
we've got
you could there's no shortcut
let me put
it that way nitrogen I know I
speak on
behalf of John we appreciate it
and especially those who
support us
financially in particular when
it's
difficult even to get a
reminder out
because you do have to do that
in this
value for value model you have
to remind
people you have a show remind
people
that we need to be supported
and those
who can do and so people did
come in
some people did receive the
message then
we're gonna thank them right
now as our
executive producers and
associate
executive producers for episode
1135
1135 well considering it Cinco
DeMayo we
only got four R's for and what
I was
saying we got three one
executive
producer into associate so it's
not
gonna be a long segment except
for the
fact that the these people are
long-winded Dave Duncan starts
this
often from Orem Utah 103 and
$33.33 and
he says heads up by once the
Sharpton
kept dodging some karma here's
a bevy of
threes for you thanks to both
for the
best podcast in the universe
according
to the molar report and many
years of
sanity you have imparted I
don't care to
ingest much news anymore but
when I do I
view it through the no agenda
lens which
dramatically reduces the
anxiety would
otherwise cause a big shout-out
to Mike
scelera that's sir Mike Knight
of the
jig averse to you for
repeatedly hitting
me in the mouth many years ago
even when
I quit listening after trying a
few
episodes few shows back you
mentioned
the Mormon CIA never Trump or a
connection as am Utah Mormon who
graduated from BYU I took
particular
interest in your Mormon CIA
never Trump
or deconstruction Mormons have
a strong
sense of patriotism and are
short on on
the vices which can compromise
many
agents no drinking no drugs no
extramarital sex
that's intersteno is the CIA
only refers
to one no drugs
correct true which leads to
heavy
recruiting at BYU by the FBI
the CIA and
the NSA as a bonafide
has bonafide prudes its steezy
for
Mormons to dislike Trump I
thought it
was a never Trump er for a
while I got
better
well I still dislike Trump
personally
not to mention his past
womanizing I
take him over fellow Mormons
backstabbing flip flocking to
the
flopping hypocrite MIT Romney
or Spy
Hillary supporter Kevin
McMullan any day
Mike Lee however seems to be
gaining
some respect for Trump note the
fast few
seconds of Mike Lee's CPAC
speech last
year quote I say bring it on
let's roll
let's keep making America great
again
well that's it well you know I
have
somebody else wrote me another
I had a
couple of Mormons write me and
and time
one of them was very concerned
because
he was convinced that Mike Lee
was a
huge trump supporter and I had
to brief
him on Mike Lee's anti-trump
nature and
then he's and then he cited his
Twitter
feed and I said if you read his
Twitter
feed which I did it's really
just very
he's a very Pro Republican and
so at
some point he has to support the
president and that's but as far
as it
goes anyway I note the less you
agreed
goes on anyway thanks for the
sanity I'd
love an L Sharpton montage with
some
karma Dave Duncan Orem Utah Oh

see there's no real conference
we but we
but we must and we will much
about
[Music]
you've got karma
let's figured it was time to
play the
long version of that and
talking about
long versions as a note that's
oversized
I think you can skip through
some parts
of this maybe yes miss $233
$0.69 ITM
John Adam in the squeaky chair
what's
that sure it's not oh what's
it's no he
says hi back the sheriff says
hi God now
you're like pee-wee Herman wait
wait
okay that's not worth repeating
i sir
I'm a listener since about oh
sure I'm a
listener since about 950 is my
first
donating so I need a D douching
okay now
he goes on about how the black
boxes
work in cars and he apparently
is an
expert in black box technology
and
well-known that's when the
reason he
wants to be anonymous he says
what we're
referring to as a black box in
is an air
bag computer which also acts as
an event
data recorder as it works today
that
upon deployment of the air bag
the send
key algorithm that typically
allows this
computer of taking software
updates
being erased and overwritten -
and
participating in the can bus
controllers
kit central controller area
network this
is the reason that if your air
bag goes
off you're told you also need
to replace
the air bag computer anyway
to cut to the chase he says
this is all
about the change in the 2020
2021 smog
machines though the new smog
machines
requires that all Auto
computers remain
untouched unlike today where
aftermarket
products existed tuned enhanced
the
operation of a vehicle for
timing and
fuel delivery and other exposed
and
defined parameters soon you
will not be
able to pass aftermarket
products that
you not be able to pass smog if
any of
these computers have been
modified in
any way and they send the send
key
proceed key to CCD yes seed key
index
algorithm protecting them today
are
being switched to rolling
rainbow
encryption is like that oh I
got to
write that down
rolling rainbow the hell is
that is
we'll find out is likely soon
you will
be issued a ticket based on your
decision to to speed four
months ago in
a Sunday morning
however that does not exist
today with
today's vehicles well you will
that's
what the point is which we've
been
predicting it's obvious that's
what you
want to do yeah of course but I
do what
it's not answered in this note
is the
question of so I have a 25 year
old
Lexus and is it if I swap out
the
computer which would give I can
get lots
of horsepower out of this car
and does
it apply to old computers that
have been
switched out or just the new
ones after
the 2020 model or no it's not a
not a
good note from an epoch you
when you
when you drive in that in that
Lexus all
people do is look and salute
you they
don't care they're like look at
that old
guy do you remember when you
grow up
you're sorry oh look at that
guy in a
model for the Model T or Model
A wow
that's so cool that's who you
are now
yeah it just doesn't look the
car just
it looks different yeah it
looks kind of
gross but the car is still
collectible
by the community at large
still offer to buy it constantly

people in the mouth
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
different font different pharma
news a
very interesting case that is
taking
place in particular because it
is a
criminal case against a CEO and
an
entire pharmaceutical
corporation a
couple of clips I'd like to
share this
is the background of it is on
MP yeah
prosecutors laid out what they
say was a
nationwide scheme - are they
hiring
people on voice anymore on NPR
are they
just hiring anybody I don't
know the
prosecutors laid out what they
say was a
nationwide scheme to boost
sales of this
opioid painkiller and you can
think
about it in three different
steps the
first thing they did was they
targeted
doctors who were known to over
prescribe
opioids the head of sales
somebody over
what over prescribe opioids did
she say
the word prescriber I love this
the
first thing they did was they
targeted
doctors who were known to over
prescribe
opioids over prescribed I could
sounds
like over beside okay well it's
over
prescribe the head of sales
somebody who
pleaded guilty and testified
for the
prosecution said the company
ran toward
pill mills not away from them
to insist
therapeutics he said pill mills
meant
dollar signs the next thing
they did was
as he said they bribed doctors
to write
prescriptions that often meant
that
people were being prescribed
really high
opioids and these people these
patients
didn't necessarily need it they
set up a
sham speakers program where
doctors were
paid not to give lectures but
to write
prescriptions and then the last
thing
they did was they set up a
whole call
center where incest employees
deceived
insurance companies saying
whatever was
necessary to get their expensive
medication covered that includes
fabricating cancer diagnosis so
this is
a spray the spray fentanyl yeah
and this
this to the note No Agenda
producers
were being around like okay we
know
exactly how this works they
they bribe the doctors they
give him
speaking fees for things they
don't have
to speak at they give him
hookers
they've taken it to a whole new
level in
this case throughout the trial
the
prosecutors basically depicted
a company
that was corrupt
through and through for example
in says
sales reps received higher
bonuses when
they convinced doctors to write
prescriptions in higher doses
the idea
was get patients hooked and
kind of keep
them coming back for more they
even made
a music video that was shown
during the
trial about this here's a clip
I watched
the whole video I put a link in
the show
notes once your white guide
douchebags
doing a hip-hop video about
drugging up
people is to dynamite that is
that is
incredible
clearly the links that they
were willing
to go to to do this yeah and
things got
even crazier they they hired a
former
exotic dancer to be part of
their sales
team she's actually one of the
defendants who has found guilty
yesterday in the trial she was
found
guilty yesterday in the trial
she if she
gave a lap dance to a doctor to
try and
convince him to prescribe their
opioid
medication first she does that
whole wow
thing and then I didn't that
work at the
very end she doesn't know that
she's
actually one of the defendants
who was
found guilty yesterday in the
trial and
she if she gave a lap dance to
a doctor
to try and convince him to
prescribe
their opioid medication oh my
oh my
they're so shocked about this
this has
been going on for a long time
and
interestingly well I'll get to
that in a
second here's the last the last
clip
because this is a criminal
trial that's
what's great and new about this
this is
a criminal case not a civil
case often
you see pharmaceutical
companies getting
in trouble in civil cases that
means big
fines but this criminal case
means
prison time these executives
are facing
up to two decades behind bars
the other
thing to note here is that they
were
charged with racketeering
conspiracy
that means this crime these
crimes were
systemic they were conspiring
this was
not just a few bad actors
racketeering
was originally designed to go
after
organized crime
the prosecutors are essentially
saying
this these pharmaceutical
executives
were like drug lords this kind
of
represents an aggressive
strategy by the
federal government to go after
pharmaceutical companies for
their role
in fueling the opioid epidemic
and
experts say that this is likely
the
beginning of a trend and that
this case
could be a blueprint for future
prosecutions yeah baby
I had a clip I had this clip
from let me
have to do a search they just
got
overlooked but it was done on I
had a
Amy's version of this when it
first
started off I think it's look
if you do
this search drug drug lords
Democracy
Now Deann at the end you might
find I
just can't find in my old lists
yes
white collar drug lord does
that sound
about right that's the same
story this
is when it first began and it
might be
worth playing as a adjunct to
what you
just played in New York City
federal
prosecutors announced criminal
charges
that Gurley we just heard is
gonna grow
up to be Amy
you know how that voice went
possibility
I wonder what you yes about do
they
check fun I think that they
probably got
her she's a professional voice
person
you know sex chat line probably
just
listen a little bit to her in
New York
City federal prosecutors
announced
criminal charges Tuesday Joseph
Rochester drug co-operative a
major
producer of opioids charging
them with a
conspiracy to profit by
illegally
distributing controlled
substances
this is Jeffrey Berman US
Attorney for
the Southern District of New
York RTC's
former CEO Lawrence style is in
custody
and will be presented to a
judge in the
Southern District of New York
this
afternoon
Daud is charged with conspiring
to
distribute oxycodone and
fentanyl this
isn't this is a different guy
they're
not talking about this case are
they I
don't know I mean I'm wondering
it's not
know cuz this sounds different
this is
not the CEO the CEO now if
you're a
different good different group
of people
than me but this is the same
thing
criminal huh I don't know
conspiring to
defraud the DEA valve lead RDC
during
the entire period of the charge
conspiracy and as alleged
personally
directed and profited from much
of its
criminal activity the company's
chief
compliance officer also faces
criminal
charges both executives face
possible
life in prison yeah it's about
time we
throw some people in jail but
it's it's
kind of baffling to me because
you've
got these stories like oh my
god what's
going on look at the corruption
just to
give them more medication that
they
didn't need but meanwhile no
one seems
to connect the dots to oh I
don't know
the MMR vaccination everyone
all of our
producers chipped in got some
good stuff
to work with let's get an
update on the
measles outbreak from Fox and
Friends
[Music]
Health Alert for you now
hundreds of
passengers quarantined on a
cruise ship
due to a measles outbreak
health officials docking the
ship
believed to be used by the
Church of
Scientology in st. Lucia the
infected
crew member is in isolation
we're told
the ship is such a depart today
back on
land in the meantime a woman
with
measles attended a packed
California
movie theater to see Avengers
endgame
officials now warning other
moviegoers
may have been exposed there are
now 740
cases nationwide Merkin company
says
that they have increased
production of
the vaccine they are the only
supplier
of the measles vaccine in the
u.s. oh
yeah this is so good so they
have a
number of quick little ditties
here
we're going back to NPR to
understand
about the MMR again we just
went through
this and we have trials going on
criminal trials of
pharmaceutical
companies & executives pushing
shit on
people that they didn't need it
was too
much of it over prescribing yet
complete
silence on this and I actually
have some
stats here because we got a lot
of a lot
of people in that in the
healthcare
industry
telling us what's going on you
know the
just to give you an idea the
measles
outbreak which interestingly in
2014
ophthalmologist in California
were able
to become licensed to handout to
vaccinate people so you can go
to your
local ophthalmologist and so the
opthamologist published a
couple things
in conjunction with the CDC and
right
now we have the 704 cases were
tripping
out but in 2014 it was 667 it's
not like
you know wow what happened how
did that
happen in these in in in five
short
years you know and gee it's all
the way
up to 700 it's a it's not even
it's not
even a hundred more than what
it was but
okay we're all supposed to be
afraid in
npr's participating beautifully
and I
have to say every time I hear
another
story about another piece of
this
measles outbreak
I wonder about all of the
people in this
country who may have been
vaccinated so
long ago that they don't even
know what
the status of their own
vaccination is I
have to say I texted my mom and
said by
the way we were vaccinated for
measles
weren't we and she said yes yes
you were
but at what point do kids get
vaccinated
for this and and how long does
the
vaccination last well children
start to
be vaccinated either at 12 or
15 months
of age and then they get a
second dose
usually at age four five or six
somewhere in there
fortunately the protection from
the
vaccine is life long for 97% of
us so
that's really an excellent
vaccine so
there's no booster shot needed
as an
adult
there's no booster shot needed
for an
adult now that said if you're
an adult
who was vaccinated before 1989
and
you're going to an area of the
world
where there's ongoing measles
transmission you might want to
review
your status to make sure you got
vaccinated and if there's any
insecurity
just get another dose of NMR
that's my
favorite thing to get three
shots it's
not gonna kill you worry about
if you
have come in contact with
someone who
has measles but you yourself are
vaccinated can you pass me zl--
on to a
third person no you will not
because
your protection will prevent
that from
happening so you're not only
protecting
yourself you're protecting
people around
you because you will not be a
transmitter what do you think
needs to
happen right now dr. Schaffner
to get
this measles outbreak under
control and
make sure that next week in the
week
after that and the week after
that we're
not hearing story after story
about a
new outbreak somewhere else in
the world
you've just heard me sigh
because every
child that
is unvaccinated if they were
vaccinated
today this problem would end
completely
in two weeks the issue really
is unjaded
children uh-huh
we need to extend the
protection of the
vaccine to all of those
children and we
can once again eliminate
measles from
the United States that's right
they're
coming for your kids this is
what they
let me read a note from one of
our
producers Mike
longtime listener wanted to say
thanks
for having a positive effect on
my
family regarding vaccines and
for
brining you back up for the
importance
of your reporting we're not
anti-vaxxers
but have learned to question
thanks our
state Virginia required papers
quote-unquote showing double
vaccination
for MMR before admittance to
school our
kids were vaccinated once we
asked for a
lab test instead of double
vaccination
and were threatened with the
$300 fee
for each child mm-hmm but in but
insisted anyway kids were shown
to be
fully immune by the lab tests
and issued
the proper going on quote
papers and the
insurance pay for the tests
thank you
for your courage Mike it's
interesting I
got one from Jim I recently
took a job
that requires me to have a
series of
vaccines or prove that I had
these
vaccines it is in the healthcare
industry but in my position I
would
likely never face a customer
still I
must have MMRDA a Tdap TD aap
and
varicella any records of my
vaccines as
a child are long gone I either
had to
take the vaccines or prove my
immunity
which is called a titer test is
that t
ITER titter titer
tightness this test can prove
immunity
or may show that you do not have
immunity and you had to take the
vaccines my insurance did not
pay for
the test but it did pay for the
vaccines
I elected to get the vaccines
nice knowing you Jim
distilled water when rev morgen
when
Obamacare first came through a
real time
of healthcare upheaval the local
hospital was insisting pastors
get flu
shots and some of these and
some type of
physical to visit the hospital
they did
a blood test and looked at my
antibodies
they insisted I get a new MMR
since mine
was from 1970 three years later
I'm
upset about taking it I'm not an
anti-vaxxer but now I think
some of this
is overboard and a money grab
you think
they do already want the
requirement you
predicted on the last show the
vaccine
requirement has kind of fallen
away
though well but let's listen to
the
propaganda of this and again
it's you
know it's the it's the measles
this keep
it within perspective people
but how
about Stephen Colbert he's got
a whole
new take on this but let's get
away for
a moment from our political
crisis to
focus instead on the cheering
news of
our public health crisis the
CDC reports
that more than 700 people have
been
infected by measles this year
marking a
25 year high for the infectious
disease
ignoring the 2014 almost 700
but okay
because people aren't
vaccinating
against it what is wrong with
you as the
son of an immunologist this
might be the
scariest
I have ever heard really man the
scariest I mean scarier than
Trump
[Applause]
people have decided they're not
sure if
they want to be immune from
disease your
ancestors are saying I would
trade
places with you but I died of
measles
now the roots of the
anti-vaccine
nonsense might be a little more
complex
and nefarious than you'd think
because
nowhere do you think he's going
with
this if you have if you've seen
it don't
don't but if you if I didn't
see it
where do you think he's going
well do
the intro give me the intro
again - they
give me the premise again and
then I'll
just make it yes but trade
places with
you but I died of measles now
the roots
of the anti vaccine on cents
might be a
little more complex and
nefarious than
you'd think because it turns
out ok as
it what as it turns out what oh
the
roots well it has to be maybe
there's
some jab or needling Jenny
McCarthy or
it's better than that better
than that
oh yeah it's a go - it's a
classic gotta
be a Trump thing then yeah in a
way here
we go or complex and nefarious
than
you'd think because it turns
out Russian
trolls promoted anti vaccination
propaganda that may have paused
measles
outbreak are you telling me
that Russian
trolls help promote a
devastating
disease that could weaken our
nation and
now measles
[Applause]
[Applause]
even more alarming these trolls
were
tweeting about both sides of
the vaccine
debate and getting into an
argument with
themselves because Russia
doesn't care
if we're vaccinated or not
according to
this report it is after a far
bigger
prize the exacerbation of
America's
distrust of one another and in
turn the
erosion of their confidence in
society
Russia you don't have to erode
our
confidence in society Twitter
does that
all on its own just let it ride
we came
up with the tide pond challenge
all by
ourselves but he's serious
about that
about this this Russian this
Russian is
a real story
yeah the Russians imagine 700
people got
what it was the Russians
involved in
2014 - when there were 700 they
must
have put them there must have
been
involved
those damn Russians damn
Russians man
they've been in it for five
years
cases have been surging in that
is a
25-year five are you sure it's
the
measles
can't do any kind of
vaccination story
without the latest update on the
Democratic Republic of Congo
we've upped
the ante now on the Ebola
outbreak am
just waiting for us to send
some troops
Ebola always brings the
military more
than 1500 people in the
Democratic
Republic of Congo have
contracted Ebola
since the outbreak was declared
nine
months ago and the rate of
infection is
accelerating dr. Ted Ross and
dr.
Moretti our Regional Director
have
recently returned from from the
Democratic Republic of Congo
where they
found the situation on the
ground
to be worse than it has been
previously
it's not just a virus that
health care
workers are battling efforts to
control
the bola are hampered by
violent attacks
insecurity has become a major
impediment
to ensuring that we can access
engage
with and serve the communities
we wish
to serve an Ebola control since
January
we've experienced 119 separate
attacks
42 directly on health
facilities with 85
health personnel either injured
or
killed in those settings so we
are
dealing with difficult volatile
situation a funeral was held on
Thursday
for epidemiologist Richard
mizuka who
was shot dead by militia who
reportedly
shouted Ebola doesn't exist
that's why
they keep setting the the the
treatment
centers on fire they think that
all
they're doing is injecting the
population with shit that is
just going
to do something bad to them
they're not
buying it they don't buy it
noticed in
their dial of Ebola well
there's an also
a good connection between both
Ebola and
measles with the thing that
nobody's
reporting on to any extreme
which they
should be which is
African swine fever yes yeah
this is a
pig pig Ebola pig Ebola what is
it man
this is yeah this is wiping out
pigs
everywhere now that it got I
have a clip
this is a lecture from
Christopher hora
in 2015 this is not a new
disease by the
way if anybody thinks it might
be made
it for Dietrich or anything
it's the
same thing as swine flu or is
this
different there's no compare
there's not
swine flu it's not swine fever
it's
African swine fever is a very
specific
disease and it is a hundred
percent
fatal it spreads like wildfire
it will
spread from a ham sandwich from
a ham
sandwich a dead sliced up pig
cooked and
salted no yes Wow and what
happens is
that it doesn't affect humans
and people
my wife is all bent out of
shape but
this all was a duck get since
China
ducks gonna sneeze and they're
gonna
we're just gonna know this has
been
around this has been a serious
problem
in parts of the world since the
1900s
but it's never gotten it's
never gotten
into Europe which it now has
has never
gotten into Russia which it now
has and
it never got into China which
is it's
spread throughout China almost
instantly
well hello the Chinese are all
over
Africa they're bringing it back
that's
the problem with the problem is
is that
this they didn't take it's not
here yet
but I bet you it'll get here
even though
apparently our people are doing
a very
good job of keeping
contaminated ham
sandwiches out of the country
now we're
going to learn a lot and catch
up with
this before it hits the real
news cycle
by listening to this night 2015
lecture
which really explains a lot
about this
horrible problem disease and I
have some
thoughts on why it went got to
China and
went passed around so quickly
but let's
to this I wanted to emphasize
why we do
need to worry about African
swine fever
virus in the Caribbean region
it is
spreading around the world as
we speak
at the moment in new areas it's
already
wreaked havoc in the Caribbean
regions
and our colleagues from certain
Caribbean countries in the
north may
remember this virus when it
decimated
their pig industries in the
Caribbean
it's a really tough and
resistant virus
so when you get it it's
extremely
difficult to get rid of and in
the
Caribbean we have many people
coming
from Africa over to the
Caribbean and
we've seen the virus being
transported
in pig products in dare I say
sandwiches
in pork it sticks around and
survives
for very very long periods of
times even
in processed or salted or cured
meats so
it's a real risk to us African
swine
fever virus is very similar in
a lot of
ways to classical swine fever
virus and
you can't tell the difference
but there
are there are subtle
differences as with
a classical swine fever virus
it's a
hemorrhagic fever however most
of
African swine fever virus is
out there
caused a 100% mortality we call
it the
Ebola virus of pigs because it
disintegrates the inside of
pigs like
Ebola does to the people that
get it and
they bleed out it has natural
reservoir
hosts especially in Africa
warthogs bush
pigs are the natural reservoirs
hosts
and here you can see a warthog
here in
Africa but it's also soft ticks
or Nyssa
Dora's ticks and we do have
species of
soft ticks that are capable of
transmitting African swine
through the
virus in the Caribbean region
where is
it at the moment
I'll have another quick slide
on this
but it's endemic in many African
countries it's been endemic in
Sardinia
or a little island in Europe
for 35
years the European Union has
thrown
everything at it and it can't
get rid of
it in Sardinia but really this
is the
this is the thing at the moment
is it's
now in a large area and I'll
explain to
you
in Russia and it's in the
European Union
and it's spreading as I said
it's
invaded the Caribbean our
colleagues in
Cuba Haiti and Dominican
Republic will
know about it and critically
there is no
vaccine so there is nothing you
can do
about it as regards vaccination
that's
what makes it so dangerous such
a nasty
disease potentially threatening
the pig
industries around the world I
think it's
the biggest veterinary threat
at the
moment I would say that but I
think it's
the biggest veterinary threat to
livestock industries around the
world
you don't know how many pigs
there are
in China but if it goes to
China it is
gonna be a disaster I have a
couple
questions before we get your
thoughts
one so this cannot this does
nothing to
humans you you it's only for
pigs they
cannot morph it there's no
example of
that it's just a just kills
pigs well
it's been around since the
1700s when it
was first traced and it has yet
to go to
humans and it seems unlikely
that it
will endow but ago the Chinese
practices
you never know well and so the
next
question is you said it can
even be
transmitted through a ham
sandwich
which he just said - yeah do
pigs eat
ham sandwiches do they eat
themselves do
they eat him yeah okay and can
you get
it as a ham radio operator that
was the
most important question well
this could
also be economic I mean what if
this
could be warfare pigs I was
thinking
about this because there was
when I
started researching this I
heard for
example the whole pig
phenomenon eating
pigs at least in the West
not so much in China stems from
a
another disease which is called
this is
kind of interesting which was a
whore
which was a cattle disease
called the
rinderpest ooh and rinderpest
wiped out
a lot of the livestock beef
like and it
was just pretty solid here the
rinderpest wiped out a lot of
the
livestock around it they like
the years
1,000 1,200 and like that and
the kicker
here is the measles virus
emerged from
rinderpest as so as a disease
between
1000 and 1100 AD a period that
may have
been preceded by limited
outbreaks
involving a virus not let yet
fully a
climate into humans
so this rinderpest like wiped
out the
herds of cattle and so they
started in
using pigs and they brought
pigs and
another hears cows dead
rinderpest in
South Africa in the late 1800s
the cows
were getting wiped out by this
and they
finally got a vaccination for
it it got
eradicated around 20 2001 or
something's
fairly recent and then the pig
thing
started showing up and so even
this
deadly rinderpest when it
morphed to a
human ailment it was measles it
wasn't
like something killing people
hmm and I
thought that was a weird
connection
because now African swine fever
is in
fact our breathing this if you
read that
China calls you here China
colors I got
one article China calls 200,000
pigs and
then you you read on another
group 200
they have called millions of
pigs and
they do it by burning him alive
and it's
just a horrible situation and
so I was
thinking this is a it turns out
that
rinderpest was was actually run
as a
chemical biological warfare
idea in
World War one in World War two
and so it
was gonna be it could have been
used as
an agent but they tend not to
use these
types of things as a mechanism
of war
because it backfires and kills
all your
things do well I haven't last
paragraph
from an article from Bloomberg
about
this the epidemic could have
political
repercussions as well Zhi Jing
ping may
want to finalize trade
negotiations with
the United States president to
both ease
the importation of much-needed
pork
poultry and beef supplies and
to enable
Chinese lawmakers to focus
solely on
quelling
outbreaks this is this this is
a big
deal and this could cause a
revolution
in China Chinese cuisine is 50%
dependent on pork
they make me end it once that I
saw was
that if every pork producer in
the world
sent all their pork to China it
wouldn't
fill the need the Chinese
growth that
many pigs Wow
and so it's just a spit in the
bucket to
send them pork and there is a
as a
tariff on it that they have to
reduce
the tariff to get the pork and
it could
cause civil unrest and so the
first
thing you think of well maybe
this is
like some sort of a scheme that
you know
a form of warfare which is not
I don't
believe would be done because
if it was
ever if it ever got out
dangerous move
this stunt because what what
would we do
without bacon America would
freak out
well there's that the stuff
that this
disease is gonna get here and
it is
gonna affect bacon and so but
I'm
thinking who would be who would
benefit
the most from killing off all
their
having all the pigs dying and
ending the
whole pig business PETA they
don't care
about the death of these pigs
hmm they
don't want people eating meat
right so
if you're floating around and
this stuff
is available on a ham sandwich
yes your
tourists in China and you see
the pig
farms and you just throw a ham
sandwich
or you throw something over the
over the
fence boom that whole herd is
wiped out
within well that would be
rather in four
days by the way the pigs die in
four
days once they get this disease
this
stuff's gotta morph over to
humans that
would be so cool it wouldn't be
cool
wipe out everybody yeah well or
they
would become a measles and it
wouldn't
be that big of a deal it's just
not the
kind of thing that morphs over
mm-hmm
yeah it's to been around too
long but
it's now out of control and
it's gonna
wipe out we have to rethink our
Pig our
Pig strategy pig stretch it's
just like
I don't know this is the end of
the pig
and it's the year of the pig
poo in it
is the end the end of the pig
end of the
pig that's a good time that
isn't that's
not bad
not bad wow thanks for the
illumination
on that it's gonna become big
news right
now you know then this is like
I gave
the lecture or played the
lecture from
2015 and it's not this has been
bubbling
underneath their news media so
preoccupied with what's wrong
far from
Mueller they're not telling us
anything
like this this is a horrible
situation
it could cause civil unrest and
in China
to an extreme it could cause the
collapse of the Chinese
government it
could cause the stock market to
collapse
this has ramifications that are
out of
control
and yet rude the reports are
sketchy
care about okay about anything
else but
Muller yeah Muller oh I do have
interesting news do you recall
on the
day that the carbon tax was
implemented
in Canada for our friends and
we're
sorry for their challenge the
canady as
Canada is warming up twice as
fast as
the rest of the world yeah I
don't know
how that works and global
warming should
be like you know it's not it's
not like
a ray beam that's aimed at
Canada well
one of our producers sent me a
note and
said hey have you ever done a
search on
being have you ever been twice
as fast
as the rest of the world and
removed
Canada from the results so
remember the
claim was Canada is warming up
twice as
fast as the rest of the world
doing this
search and these are all recent
search
search results I shall read to
you some
of the results the Arctic is
warming up
twice as fast of the rest of
the world
why Singapore is heating up
twice as
fast of the rest of the rest of
the
world
China is heating up twice as
fast
the rest of the world mountains
are
warming twice as fast of the
rest of the
world are you getting the the
getting it
now people are you're
understanding how
it works it's humble
yeah that's a good one by the
way I'll
give you I'll give you a ten on
that
well yeah I do have a I was
watching a
global warming lecture mm-hm I
don't
have the guy's name doing it
but he had
some some Jim Hanson you know
the guy
who's really behind the whole
global
warming fear uh Jim Hanson he's
got a
Jim Hanson anecdote here Jim
Hanson not
the guy from the Muppets Jim
Hanson no
that's Jim hints oh okay thank
you got
it so let's hear what he has to
say this
is Jim Hanson Oh Jim Hanson by
the way
if we go back in 1988 he was
asked by a
reporter how do you see things
in 40
years and he says well you see
the
highway down here there was
that highway
outside of his office it's not
gonna be
there anymore based on a
doubling of co2
from pre-industrial times well
right now
we've gone 25 years into this
40 years
we've had one inch of sea-level
rise
there are 10 feet to go for him
to make
his prediction and it's got to
happen
within the next 15 years you
take a look
at the NSC this is Jim Hansen's
slide
where he decided realizing a
sea level
was not rising she said it's
really
gonna be exponential so by the
mid-century really isn't gonna
rise at
all you won't even be alive
here neither
will I and yet we're gonna get
four four
meters of rise neces meters now
feet in
the last 20 years of the
century don't
hold your breath on this one
either
how's the mudflats
my flats they're intact there
hasn't
been either diving an inch of
sea level
rise as far as I can tell but
ya know
the hands so handsome so they
what they
do is they change you know
instead of
having a linear or graph course
and make
they put it into some sort of
geometric
thing so yeah it's not gonna
rise right
now there's gonna go crazy the
old
hockey stick right I've been
reading
Theodore Kozinski's anti-tech
Revolution
book which I think was
published in I
want to say 2015 think and he
goes quite
quite a bit into the the global
warming
thing although he's not a you
know he
says hide biosphere sure warm
cool etc
he says that this will all lead
to
geoengineering and this is a
guy who's
been in jail for what 30 years
said it's
all gonna lead to
geoengineering which
in turn will then cause the
heat to be
trapped and all the oceans will
actually
evaporate yeah and that's not
good and
the sick thing of
geoengineering is when
you Geoengineer you're blocking
out
sunlight well then your solar
panels
also start to decrease in
efficacy or
effectiveness so it's not done
with the
book yet somewhere in the book
I expect
them to tell me how I stop this
evil
tech revolution and I can't
wait to find
out what I have to do and who I
have to
recruit for it and yes
well before we do I do have
some funny
stuff well I was going to
mention
something that would take us
into it
just understanding how we how
we operate
our business where we ask you
how much
is this show worth to you is it
valuable
that's our value for value
model is very
simple you produce it you
listen to it
you give us stuff did you like
it was it
worth five bucks 50 bucks it
were
equivalent of going out on the
weekend
how much time did you spend and
the
reason why is we need to be
completely
independent for everything you
can't
discuss these topics even why
is Pig
Ebola not discussed is it just
because
of bar
Euler bar Muller Trump iron man
that is
that is that the only reason or
there
are other issues at hand you
don't know
you can't even ask him and we
have
another one biting the dust a
well it
never really was an independent
media
outlets it was run by or really
set up
and pre financed by former MTV
guru let
Tom Freston who's great guy you
know
comes from the Afghanistan
import/export
business not kidding
so he said advise media and you
know
we've always seen that this
kind of an
advertising agency a lot of
people put a
lot of stock into what vice
media does
and they think they're very
cool and he
reverent and great but they ran
out of
money and they did a new debt
financing
deal which was led by come on
one of
those Soros yes in one go
exactly two
hundred and fifty million
dollars from a
consortium led by Soros Wow
they've laid
off they've laid off 250
employees about
10% of their staff than just a
few
months ago funny thing is that
you bring
this up because I do have a
Vice clip oh
okay now I this was something
that
stemmed out of Twitter that's
not funny
that's just how our beautiful
magic
works sometimes so I so Carly in
Louisiana it sends me this clip
okay cuz
I was doing it back and for
something
with David Icke and there was
this
special on David Icke that Vice
had done
and it was just a slam him and
I watched
and I said it sent a note to
her I said
you noticed the whip saw and
she said no
and she iced okay I said I'm
gonna play
it on the show so this is the
report
that this whole thing was a
kind of an
anti hike documentary done by
Vice and
it was done in a very snide way
and it
goes into his history and then
there's a
whipsaw right at the very
beginning
which is just like
why you Dwight is the point of
doing
this but okay let's go after
arthritis
that ended a promising career in
football he'd become a
broadcaster but
that all ended in one remarkable
appearance on the Terry Wogan
show I'll
let it play again I just had to
stop
that's their entire clip of him
on Terry
on Terry Wogan show that's it
no they play along I don't know
why they
did it that way that's great
writers had
ended a promising career in
football
he'd become a broadcaster but
that all
ended in one remarkable
appearance on
the Terry Wogan show in a
turquoise
tracksuit he'd announced that
he was the
son of God and the world would
be ending
that here it didn't and Ike
seemed
destined to disappear beneath
the
typhoon of public laughter it's
quite
funny really you know two
thousand years
ago had a guy called Jesus sat
here and
said these same things you
would still
be laughing it's really really
funny
that we've not really moved on
that much
they're laughing at you they're
not
laughing with you but Ike
wouldn't
disappear you know I've seen
that
interview that's a total
mischaracterization of the
interview
that that he said the world
would end in
a year and he compared the
claims that
he said he's the son of God he
doesn't
does that he doesn't he says if
Jesus
was sitting here instead of me
instead
of me not that I'm the son of
God
yeah he would have gotten the
same
response which it probably
would be true
but especially if you watched
the way
the Family Guy portrays Jesus
and and
then he never says anything
about the
world's gonna end this year and
the clip
clearly and they play this clip
and I'm
not getting it why is what is
the point
well if mischaracterization is
it was
outrageous to me if you're
vying for 250
million from George Soros you
know you
know do the same this is just
another
version of deep platforming
some crazy
right-wing Nazi quadroon
the terrorist nationalist
supremacists
old guy it's the same it's all
the same
everyone's following the money
these
systems like every sister just
like us
we're just here surviving we
don't mean
we have our our network a
network of
producers the people who
participate in
our program and we're just out
for
survival Vice is out for
survival
Twitter Facebook the roll out
for
survival and give a shout think
Twitter
Facebook they don't give a crap
about
anything but surviving because
that's
what the organisms do that's
what these
self-propagating that's what all
propagating systems do just
survival and
we may even be seeking way too
much
meaning behind it but in this
case the
survival yeah virtue signal make
everyone with a different
victim come on
man Soros is a fucking alien is
reptile
at minimum so you got to
discredit the
guy who's calling them out
reptile yeah
they sure looks like one to
know it
imagine all the people who
could do is
awesome oh yeah
[Music]

hey well I've got a little
ditty here
that's good alright this is a
compilation somebody made from
one
single speech of Joe Biden and
just
little snippets from his speech
and it's
a drunk no drunk thing Oh Oh
like the
jingle if you wanted to play
this but
it's pretty obvious to me the
answer hmm
let me see we have the jingle
for this I
want to thank rich Fitzgerald
the county
executive of Allegheny County
executor
being here all my time of
public life
for this I've gotten involved
the
country wasn't built by Wall
Street
bankers CEOs and Hudson that's
fun man
the enterprises hard times
everybody
took a hit union workers the
UAW took
incredible cuts in their future
the
pensions of the left to get GM
working
they also got that too last
year and try
to cut wages or freeze wages
for the
people right today the same is
happening
in big hustles and big hospital
systems
I haven't got to rethink how we
define
what constitutes a successful
economy
folks in America don't think
your
children have the same standard
living
they had how can a person
dignity
maintain why they do that it
means
investing much more in medical
research
to comfort the conquered
Everest a
disease like cancer and
addictions of
Alzheimer's so god bless you
all and may
God protect our troops
[Applause]
if you think that's drunk or is
just old
slurry man it does not junk
mmm he's not that slurry
normally yeah
you know he goes to these
things he's
out of town
yeah he's one of those guys at
take
let's go out to lunch yeah you
want a
little wine Joe yeah I think
he's
hammered huh
well maybe he's not if he's not
hammered
then he's really shot I was
rather
tickled about that China
comment he made
that we played on the last show
yeah I saw the drunk there too
well the
reason why I was tickled by it
is he
said uh oh come on guys you
have to
worry about China
yeah forgetting that he and his
sons or
that his son set up a huge
hedge fund
with a billion dollars of
Chinese money
a week after he and his son
returned
from a trip to China
yeah needs to be noted well
thank you
that's the only thing it needs
to be
noted wouldn't nobody know it's
something that needs to be
noted they
don't note it now I did I
thought I had
an ISO from this which I
listened to
later cuz I thought it would be
nice at
the end of the show cuz of the
one that
that kind of reflected the show
but then
I listened to this it was
terrible you
play it why they do that then I
decided
to just take an ISO from a clip
I can't
play on the show and I want
people to
just go look this up and the
and you
would search for it and on
YouTube under
dead raccoon in McDonald's
why can't we play that it is
nothing but
cussing oh okay so I could but
I took it
it's all just cussing mm-hmm
but it's
hilarious because of this dead
raccoon
now you should look it up too
but
somebody did pull one thing out
of it
which might be a nice ISO which
is only
in San Francisco that's good
that's a
beautiful eye stuff done end of
show
perfect nice yes he's talking
about the
dead raccoon only in San
Francisco I
can't wait for this it's gonna
give me
his
give us a summary of what
happened yeah
you're holding out some white
guy and it
also changes the the usage of
the n-word
to refer to white bums some
white
homeless guy brought a dead
raccoon that
was stiff and it had rigor
mortis and
puts it on the table and a
McDonald's
and so this guy starts filming
it and
it's like the guy the white
guys like I
don't know what his problem is
but this
guy just starts raving about
this idiot
bringing this group just rabid
raccoon
into the into the McDonald's
place and
then yelling at the McDonald's
employees
it's just a very it's a classic
YouTube
video okay dead raccoon and
McDonald's
oh I'm riveted now I can't wait
but I
almost want to end the show
early just
so I can get to it now I have
one other
medley of stuff but this is
this is from
the free beacon and this is
Maxine
Waters that they stitched
together all
her rants about impeachment and
the
mower and all the rest of it
and I
thought it was worth playing
here you
have a president who I can tell
you in
guarantee you is in collusion
with the
ruts I say that he was in
collusion with
Putin I believe that there
really has
been collusion I say that he was
inclusion with the Kremlin I am
so
depending on our special
counsel Robert
Weller to connect the dots to
connect
those dots connect the dots dot
dot dot
dot dot starts the dots are
connected
the dots are getting closer if
there was
collusion we'll get the
collusion have
my hope so Moeller as most
people do I
think it's going to be proven
that if
Muller does his job the lead
that was
collusion and collusion will
lead to
impeachment this got a lead
right to
impeachment and he ought to be
impeached
so I believe it is possible to
impeach
him but we need to impeach him
how long
is it going to take I don't
know but I
give it to about December we've
got to
get the facts we've got to do
the
investigation that is what
leads to
impeachment I think it will
lead to the
impeachment of this president
we've got
it
she does good stuff doesn't she
now that
she's got her Ava's but she
shouldn't be
given any airtime she's insane
I want to
do the economic stuff at the
very end
here
we've got a few minutes well I
do have
my breakfast except that I keep
promising and I want to play it
so we
can be thinking about it for
the next
show okay let's do that now
you wanna do it now yeah okay
this I
found a new strategy that I
believe is
being used or is going to be
used
they're gonna try to use it and
it was
and they tested it they test
marketed it
at TVNZ out of New Zealand on
the Haley
holt breakfast show and I think
if you
Bri between the lines you can
see what
they're gonna try to do and
this would
be in it this would be the
methodology
you'd use to get a redo okay so
again
this is about brexit this is
where we've
been waiting for the typical
European
Union scenario where they say
you voted
wrong let's vote again and
we've been
waiting for that for years now
and this
may be the strategy to make it
happen
British democracy has been a
shaken by
revelations of cheating by the
vote
leave campaign during the BRICS
that
referendum they've been found
guilty of
breaking electoral law with two
people
now being referred to the
police so what
does this all mean for the
future of
BRICS it to explain we have
professor
Robert PETMAN from otago
University good
morning good morning in May
leave EU
which was one of the major
campaigning
groups for brexit was fine for
overspending and now vote leave
which
was fronted by Michael Gove
who's a
cabinet minister and Boris
Johnson until
recently
foreign secretary that has just
been
fined this week more than
60,000 and
also matters have been referred
to the
police for further
investigation this is
actually very serious because
vote leave
which goes right to the cabinet
and
including the prime one of the
prime
minister's advisers is linked
to that
group they have committed
probably the
biggest overspend the biggest
electoral
irregularities since the 19th
century
I mean we have to remember that
this
very contentious referendum in
Britain
wishes
pushed Britain towards brexit
was
decided by wafer-thin majority
of 3.7%
but one side overspent by 10%
so this
has big implications these are
actually
criminal offences yes so you
think that
we need a public enquiry here
or will
there be one at the moment you
see Mrs
May owes her position to the
outcome of
the referendum so she doesn't
actually
relish or want to open up any a
systemic
police inquiry into what's
happened okay
so what are the rules in this
well this
horrible overspend of a massive
ten
percent which I guess is the
biggest
scandal in the history of the UK
apparently I think the idea is
of course
is to say well they did they
violated
the rules of engagement we
enter the
election again right do-over I
told a
real do-over because of election
irregularities that's the word
we're
looking for very good I like
that and
their test marketing this idea
in New
Zealand and of course this
Haley woman
is like all in and oh the two
of them
are you know there's a
professor at one
of the local universities and
they're
all about oh they're all a
tizzy oh jeez
I don't know this is terrible
that said
we're scandal scandal and it's
just this
is I think we're gonna see this
rolled
out so I wanted to get into it
yeah
you're right and they got to do
something pretty soon because
we're
we're coming up on d-day what
is it what
why what's the few now I think
they've
moved it out I thought they had
a final
final something they could well
the
final final final final but
then they
got the final final final final
final so
the problem is they've got the
European
Union parliamentary elections
and you
know the brexit party
apparently is
whatever polls are worth is
polling very
high in so yeah I thought they
would
want to get a agent hope the
Liberal
Democrats are the ones that
seem to be
making hay from this whole
thing and
they're gonna I think move into
a
position of power I
do have a clip of this of the
European
Parliament where instead of
listening to
Nigel Faraj go off on ma'am
this is a
very isn't this a very old clip
you sure
are you sure this isn't old it
could be
so we won't play it well let me
say let
me check thank you very much
for the
publicity mr. president
but mr. faroush has the whole
morning
talked about salaries and and
biggest
waste waste of money well you
know
colleagues what I think is the
biggest
waste of money in European
Union of
today there's a salary we are
paying to
mr. Paris that is the biggest
waste of
money
oh no mr. Faraj let's be honest
about it
you are you are a member of the
fishery
committee for example and
you're never
there never in 2011 no
attendance in
2012 no attendance it's
fantastic what
you're doing you're coming here
saying
it's a scandal the salaries
that don't
be paid and you pay yourself a
salary
without doing any labor in your
own
committee that's the reality of
your
opinion today
[Applause]
what's that
what's that no nothing going I
hope that
maybe this can be sent out on
the BBC
this evening once and on all
the other
private television in in
Britain how you
in fact cheating your own
citizens here
all the time already three
years in a
row and I think it has to
finish because
we know that mr. Elena Mizzou
has rights
this Union if it want to become
a real
federal union need resources
needs in
fact his own income and that is
the big
battle to do now and we shall
do it
together and if it says here
without you
mister Faraj good grandstanding
it's
about time someone did that
well I'm
glad they did I thought it was
good for
us to run it because it's it
balances
the what people perceive is us
being pro
Faraj I don't give a shit what
people
perceive of us I'm just saying
it's nice
to have the other side yelling
at him
yes pandering and but the real
kicker in
that thing of course was not
him yelling
at him it was him announcing
that we
need our own income taxes for
well from
steam amounts is apparently
high on the
list to be the winner of the
year of the
election this is a guy I know
I've
interviewed him I've met him a
couple
times or run into him at the
airport
he's a nice guy he can invite
the both
of us to one of the big
meetings they
got there and there may be a
dinner well
I'm gonna try you should and I
definitely would like to
interview him
did he do mer this is the guy
who I
interviewed on the radio
station that
eventually got burned to the
ground
yes right and and he and he was
there
and he was he had just been to
Bilderberg with the Dutch Queen
because
he was the secretary the Foreign
Secretary not the Secretary of
State but
foreign so the undersecretary or
something and then he said no
you know
what you're doing here man
that's pretty
good you got to keep that going
keep the
alternative sound it's a now
surrounding
has the Fuhrer of the European
Union so
I'm gonna try into with him
reasonable guy for sure Wilson
um I'm
gonna finish it or he's gonna
say boo
now he remembers he remembers
thanks
John thanks for being all
positive about
that I'm trying to do something
to show
ya is my negative attitudes
gonna kill
the interview anyway you'll get
him but
he won't do it actually the
public
relations woman won't let it
happen
yeah but if you go through
Twitter you
get stuff done you start
tweeting and
then he gets interested okay so
good
MailChimp the president the
president is
trying to find a new member for
the for
the Fed board the Federal
Reserve Board
and Herman Cain pulled out
because even
though he'd been on the Fed
board before
and they you know threatened
him with
some true or not doesn't matter
some
improprieties and that piece
even more
pieces even more had made a lot
of
stupid jokes and and so he says
he
pulled back but listening to
this report
I questioned if it was really
his
decision more had said some
pretty
unsavory things about women in
the past
he follows the pizza executive
Herman
Cain who would through his name
not too
long ago what what tipped the
scales
here against more yeah you had
a bunch
of Senate Republicans outspoken
of their
fact that they were gonna be
dis not
comfortable with kind of rubber
stamping
this guy's nomination even
though he was
out there telling the world
that it was
gonna fly through the Senate
but maybe
his most fatal flaw was coming
out I
think in a Bloomberg interview
and
disagreeing with this
president's idea
that the federal reserve should
cut
rates right now in this economic
expansion maybe that was the
death knell
for him and I think that that
is the
reason I think Trump said you
have the
wrong idea I want the Federal
Reserve to
cut the interest rate in fact
from what
I understand Trump is talking
about up
to a percent which is pretty
big and lo
and behold what showed up on my
radar
this morning is John Williams
and John
Williams we were introduced to
John
Williams thanks to you John C
Dvorak
John Williams is the guy behind
shadow
stats
and we had some very
interesting numbers
come out we had a blow-out GDP
we had
the even lower unemployment
even though
the number one shadow stats
number we've
always looked at is the u6 and
the the
real unemployment versus people
who've
just fallen off the escalator
and are
sleeping under i-35 cuz you
just don't
count as looking for a job so
the edge
and you Williams believes that
they
should be counted he's certain
and I
think so too yeah they're
unemployed
yeah they're unemployed and
they should
be work able but he agrees with
Trump on
the interest rate cut and for
good
reason remember all these fancy
numbers
were doing great everything's
fantastic
butlers and a great deal of
variance in
terms of the quality of the
numbers and
you also have different people
with
different political
perspectives that
want to see it go one way or
the other I
can tell you that the I mean
one of the
great examples are right now is
the
headline first quarter GDP that
was just
recently recently reported came
in at
three point two percent
expectations had
been all over the place but
maybe in the
middle was two and a half
percent I
thought it was going to come in
well
below consensus below 1%
eventually
revised to a contraction came
in well
above well then anyone was
forecasting
that I could see and so I was
wrong on
that but as I looked at the
components a
lot of the components there
showed
exactly what I was looking for
though we
have a recession in place it's
just a
matter of its of its of its
playing out
and some of these other funny
numbers
and getting and getting work
out the
reality is on the downside
where you
have mixed pressures right now
the
people are really concerned
about the
economy and that includes
President
Trump particularly looking at
reelection
but he's been pushing on the
economy for
a long time and he's been
arguing the
Fed should lower rates and with
him
the Fed created the
circumstance they're
pushing for the economy on the
upside
because they want to continue
raising
rates banks make more running
money
there and they're still trying
to
liquidate the problems that
they created
by the bank bailout back in
banking
system bailout back in 2008
it's an extraordinary time I
can't
remember anything quite like
this
ultimately I'm looking at our
going into
a new recession by that by the
end of
this year I see the Fed being
forced
into renewed easing perhaps
quantitative
easing yeah I'm not an
economist but I
have the feeling too I don't
not buying
these numbers everything's so
great I'm
just not seeing it and on the
GDP and
this it's in the show notes
there's a
pretty good interview he
explains the
the GDP or the the trade the
trade
balance changes and that
affects GDP and
the reason the trade balance
changed is
not because we start exporting
a lot
more in fact quite the opposite
because
of the way he says it the rate
increases
by the federal reserve that we
saw in
the past year and a half have
actually
stopped spending so we're just
buying
mint or crud list crap from
from China
and other countries and that's
why the
GDP number is up because of the
trade
balance but not because we're
doing so
great well he this kind of
explains the
apparently Trump has been
suggesting a
quantitative easing QE I don't
know what
number he weaned by now by now
yeah in
right in the face of the of the
GDP
being 3.2 which also surprised
Horowitz
quite a bit because he had this
rather
elaborate theory as to why it
was so
good in the fourth quarter
mm-hm and and he expected a
drop-off and
I think Williams must have
expected
something lower too so they're
but
they've been futzing with the
numbers
and it started with Obama I
mean if you
look at Williams's charts for
unemployment and inflation
especially
unemployment you look at where
they were
the three lines because there's
there's
the u6 music
use for yeah well some more
therefore
but but there's a shadow stats
number
and they're they're pretty much
clumped
together and they follow up a
certain
pattern and they're all lined
up in
parallel and then all of a
sudden it
diverges right when Obama gets
in office
and it just goes completely
because they
start to lie about the numbers
mm-hmm
and I think they're still doing
it the
numbers and now it now is doing
it too
yeah well he's yes he's taking
credit
not maybe he wants to stop it
well what
he well what I see him saying
is look at
how great the numbers aren't
guys lo
stop to stop we're gonna die
here we're
gonna die he knows I mean he I
think he
actually understands this very
well this
macro stuff and he understands
the
payment seemed he certainly
understands
interest rates so I'm in
agreement I
think it I think we're on the
on the
cusp but just feel a dive note
no
academic backup for this other
than I
can just see it I see the
stores closing
lots of stores closing in
downtown
Austin
lots of pop-up stores here we
are for
two for two weeks and all the
the little
boutiques all going out of
business
can't afford the rents which is
a direct
result of the interest to going
up up
correct you would have a lot to
do with
it people jacking up the rents
and it
just but here is hard to see
except for
the homeless situation and the
poop on
the street and all the rest of
it yeah
it looks as though there's like
if
somebody's fooling themselves
we got the
traffic problems of a boom yeah
we have
huge traffic problems because
of the
boom so the traffic is all
jacked up
there's jobs to be had because
of the
boom but it but parallel to the
boom
there's this mess and it's even
here
where there shouldn't be the
mess at all
considering we shouldn't have
the city
of San Francisco crawling with
homeless
tents encampments all over the
place
poop on the street everybody
drugged up
it just shouldn't be there it
shouldn't
be paralleling the boom in its
and it is
and it's a
bad sign as far as I'm concerned
Alicia's its kind of I agree
it's just
not good I agree we have the
same enough
out it they can't afford to the
potholes
are a problem what's why can
you if
everything's booming or once
you fix the
damn potholes yes on that very
happy
note of we're all going to die
we're
going to leave you we know
you'll want
to come back on Thursday
because we'll
make you happy again I promise

you'd if
you trust it to Instagram
here's a crazy
idea here's a crazy crazy
thought that
I've advocated for many times
print some
out well you just said I think
is a
great idea I've been saving
photos all
my life and I know that at
least one or
two of my drives will never
fire up
again just take a couple make a
selection
you could put you know two or
three
quote-unquote rolls about the
same you'd
have to pay for supplies to do
it
yourself but fairly
inexpensively new
and you will have these backups
and they
actually the gear that they're
the big
print guys have it's a little
better
than what you generally have
incredibly
sad that they're storing this on
Instagram and that can go away
you know
that can get deleted you can
get kicked
off if anything can happen and
just
imagine it's going to the entire
generation of children who get
old and
die in this dumpy nothing left
