Oh, the year of no American you don't even show 19 00:00:53,970 --> 00:00:55,830 it on American TV. It's so 20 00:00:56,310 --> 00:01:02,040 on. It's on logo TV. And logo TV. Yeah. Which I think is only 21 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:07,590 streaming. But they they do have the they have American guest 22 00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:11,910 hosts and one of them is Ross Ross from the Hollywood today. 23 00:01:11,970 --> 00:01:12,750 Your favorite chair 24 00:01:12,750 --> 00:01:16,530 Ross, the gay guy that used to be on the Leno Show.

And they and they try everyone's trying to do a little 28 00:01:28,410 --> 00:01:32,520 bit of the Sir Terry Wogan, but he died a couple of years ago in 29 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,450 the UK UK it's only one I believe once or twice a year 30 00:01:36,450 --> 00:01:40,440 with some really sappy Poppy song like bucks phase or I don't 31 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,370 know. And but he also because they would always lose it became 32 00:01:44,370 --> 00:01:46,230 this you know this whole this whole thing 33 00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:50,520 before you go on and on. I don't think we use the word Eurovision 34 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,820 yet for listeners to know what the hell we're talking about. 35 00:01:53,850 --> 00:01:58,200 Eurovision Song Contest is a bit for how long has it been around 36 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,060 now? Is it 40 years or something is 37 00:02:00,090 --> 00:02:01,590 more asking me. 38 00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:05,940 Do you want to report I just want to be a dick. Because I'm 39 00:02:05,940 --> 00:02:09,240 ready. I'm ready for you. I'm ready for you, Mike. Boy. 40 00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:15,240 I have not heard of this thing in my life until you told me 41 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,830 about it about five years ago. 42 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,480 Right? The Eurovision Song Contest, which is not Europe 43 00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:25,230 alone. It is members of the Eurovision Consortium, which 44 00:02:25,230 --> 00:02:28,980 started off as a satellite television project. I don't 45 00:02:28,980 --> 00:02:32,580 remember exactly when but I can remember it as far back as you 46 00:02:32,580 --> 00:02:37,080 know, I was 10. And so look it up. Well, you know what's, 47 00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:40,500 what's interesting about it is that it is not European, because 48 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:43,320 they have a lot of countries who both Russia has not officially 49 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,500 Europe. But Ukraine where it was hosted is not officially Europe, 50 00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:50,790 Israel participates and is usually highly politically 51 00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:53,670 charged. And they've changed this voting throughout the 52 00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:56,280 throughout the years, where you could always tell you know, 53 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,180 Russia would would either be pro and vote for Ukraine or not vote 54 00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:02,700 for Ukraine, the Scandinavian countries would vote for each 55 00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:04,800 other, the Dutch for the Belgian, the Belgians for the 56 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,840 Dutch, the French for the Belgium, they would just go back 57 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,170 and forth. And so they created this panel of professional 58 00:03:10,170 --> 00:03:14,820 judges. And then they combine that with a televote. And of 59 00:03:14,820 --> 00:03:18,330 course, people cannot vote for their own country. But that's 60 00:03:18,330 --> 00:03:20,850 where you really see the favoritism pop up. So it's 61 00:03:20,850 --> 00:03:23,700 always interesting to see. And you know, we've called this 62 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,910 correctly a couple of times in the past based upon geopolitical 63 00:03:26,910 --> 00:03:29,310 issues. This was a different year. Yes. 64 00:03:29,790 --> 00:03:34,200 1956 is where it's officially began, which is way back before 65 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,890 I was born. And it's actually based on the existing Sarah Remo 66 00:03:37,890 --> 00:03:41,100 music festival held in Italy since 1951. Ah, 67 00:03:41,130 --> 00:03:44,130 thank you. Well, there you go. But it really turned into a you 68 00:03:44,130 --> 00:03:48,330 know, a Bring, bring the world together type of no borders, no 69 00:03:48,330 --> 00:03:50,040 nations type of thing. Yeah, 70 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:51,720 it's a one world government. Yeah. 71 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,420 And what's what's cool about it, or I don't know if you want to 72 00:03:54,420 --> 00:04:01,860 call it just a cool is. I don't know when I was nine. I 73 00:04:01,860 --> 00:04:03,090 think you nailed it. Yeah, 74 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,210 exactly. There's nothing cool about it. But it's it's supposed 75 00:04:06,210 --> 00:04:10,290 to be about the song. So it's the composer, the songwriter and 76 00:04:10,290 --> 00:04:13,200 composer, not about the artist. But of course, it's now become a 77 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,280 place to showcase your country. And the I was we because I 78 00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:19,410 really didn't put any effort into it this year, knowing how 79 00:04:19,410 --> 00:04:24,750 you hate it, and don't hate it. And then we got a comment from 80 00:04:24,750 --> 00:04:28,440 one of our producers donated and said, Hey, I need to know I need 81 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,320 to look smart. And of course I steered him completely wrong. I 82 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,160 said, Well, right now I think maybe France would be a good 83 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,620 country to win just GOP. 84 00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:40,349 Oh, you didn't know you predicted it straight up 85 00:04:40,409 --> 00:04:41,819 straight up in the last show. 86 00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:46,020 I said I hadn't paid any attention to it. Let me just 87 00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:48,480 think quickly. That's exactly what I said. So I didn't I 88 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,060 didn't. What are you trying to do that? Don't do? Don't be like 89 00:04:51,060 --> 00:04:54,630 this today. Okay, okay. I'm irritated when you do that. 90 00:04:55,050 --> 00:04:57,660 Good. Go. Here's the winner. 91 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,300 Have you been through the report next time? I will? 92 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,650 And that's the winner. There you go, everybody fine. That's the 93 00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:19,770 end of my report sounds pretty generic. Yeah, send in my report 94 00:05:19,770 --> 00:05:23,400 that is Portugal who won. I think that this was it's not 95 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,330 generic. In fact, it was the exact opposite. Everybody had a 96 00:05:27,330 --> 00:05:30,630 poppy song, like they always do. And this was a completely 97 00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:34,650 different genre. It's stuck out way above everything. And it 98 00:05:34,650 --> 00:05:37,800 just seems that they tried to get Bulgaria to when, in fact, 99 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,900 it was comments through blogger, this is what I found kind of 100 00:05:39,930 --> 00:05:43,590 interesting, who had been chasing all the Google trending 101 00:05:43,590 --> 00:05:47,280 stats. And he said, you know, based upon what he's seeing from 102 00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:49,530 Google and the way the algorithms are reacting so it 103 00:05:49,530 --> 00:05:52,230 looks like Bulgaria is going to win they came in second they 104 00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:56,940 almost won. So maybe that was supposed to happen, but man the 105 00:05:56,940 --> 00:05:59,790 French song was it was an actual song that was completely 106 00:05:59,790 --> 00:06:03,000 different wasn't bubblegummy it was a different song in 107 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,380 Portuguese song and it I think that's why one day that Bulgaria 108 00:06:07,410 --> 00:06:09,930 made a lot of sense in hindsight and I should have guessed 109 00:06:09,930 --> 00:06:15,870 Bulgaria or deduced Bulgaria so I think for once a music 110 00:06:15,870 --> 00:06:21,030 actually one well, good yeah. Now the reason I'm also 111 00:06:21,030 --> 00:06:23,490 irritated so we spent half an hour trying to fix whatever's 112 00:06:23,490 --> 00:06:26,280 going on on your end your real dick to work with when it comes 113 00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:29,160 to that because you always yell at me and 114 00:06:29,370 --> 00:06:30,690 yell and I'm just Yeah, 115 00:06:31,409 --> 00:06:32,369 nothing nothing came 116 00:06:33,870 --> 00:06:38,010 and and so I have exaggerating is sure I am and so I have this 117 00:06:38,010 --> 00:06:41,880 beautiful iPad Mini and you know, the Claudio has carpeting 118 00:06:41,940 --> 00:06:44,370 you know how when you drop a peanut butter and jelly sandwich 119 00:06:44,370 --> 00:06:45,750 or something a piece of toast? 120 00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:48,990 Oh, now we're getting down and hoping to land sandwich face 121 00:06:48,990 --> 00:06:49,410 down. 122 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,670 Yeah, right onto the bottom the base of my stool. cracked the 123 00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:59,580 screen.

Yeah. 129 00:07:12,930 --> 00:07:14,700 How delicate are these things? 130 00:07:14,820 --> 00:07:18,720 It landed flat on its face not even on the corners flat on its 131 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,190 face with significant gravity. Oh force, gravitational force. 132 00:07:23,550 --> 00:07:26,580 And I knew that from a table. Yeah, from table height and a 133 00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:29,040 standing table height I knew I knew it the minute it was there 134 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,520 I knew is standing table that's a little for is a goner.

And you know, you think after all these years, 137 00:07:38,820 --> 00:07:43,890 especially with something like Oh LEDs, which can be actually 138 00:07:43,890 --> 00:07:48,090 bent and rolled up that they would make these display so 139 00:07:48,090 --> 00:07:52,530 they're not so damn delicate. You can't have things that you 140 00:07:52,530 --> 00:07:55,830 hold like that. You're gonna drop them this was going to what 141 00:07:55,830 --> 00:07:57,090 you do? Well, that would 142 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,300 be kind of like if we were running that company, we'd say 143 00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:03,660 the same. Young people die new ones. 144 00:08:03,690 --> 00:08:07,890 Whoo. Yeah, appeal by newest as the real reason if you think 145 00:08:07,890 --> 00:08:09,180 about it, and also 146 00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:13,290 today, everybody in the world of political correctness and social 147 00:08:13,290 --> 00:08:16,230 justice warriors, be very careful. You do not commit a 148 00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:21,090 micro aggression against the motherless on this day, okay. No 149 00:08:21,090 --> 00:08:22,020 one thinks about that. 150 00:08:24,420 --> 00:08:26,880 And yes, you're right. No one thinks about that. And 151 00:08:26,910 --> 00:08:29,370 yeah, in today's world, in today's world, you should say 152 00:08:29,460 --> 00:08:34,440 you should say, is your mother still with us? And you say yes 153 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,320 or no? Well, then Happy Mother's Day. If not, you know, you need 154 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,760 to know it's like a pronoun thing. I go by pronoun. No, mom. 155 00:08:43,380 --> 00:08:45,540 Everyone has a mother though. That's the joke of it. 156 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,320 Yeah, but you can't it's hard to celebrate when your mom's dead. 157 00:08:53,220 --> 00:08:59,700 Well, I think you can celebrate by I mean, I wish a happy 158 00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:01,020 Mother's Day to my wife. 159 00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:05,730 Oh, of course. Of course. Of course. That's three of courses 160 00:09:05,730 --> 00:09:11,130 in a row. Anyway, speaking of which, where's the baby? Picture 161 00:09:11,130 --> 00:09:13,170 your promise? Did you put that in the newsletter? Finally. 162 00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:17,550 I never promised to put a baby. Yes, you did. You said you would 163 00:09:17,550 --> 00:09:19,740 put on Oh, yeah, maybe I did. 164 00:09:19,740 --> 00:09:24,240 And he has a name doesn t isn't his name Seth or something like 165 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,200 that. So it's like the worst name you can have as a dude. 166 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,190 Seth. 167 00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:32,910 I did a little research on the name Seth because there's so 168 00:09:32,910 --> 00:09:38,070 many of these Seth MacFarlane Seth Green. Seth Rogen said good 169 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:41,730 stuff. So I distinguish that there were all born around the 170 00:09:41,730 --> 00:09:46,140 same time there was somebody there. The 80s 80s some point in 171 00:09:46,140 --> 00:09:49,050 the 80s they're all born within two or three years of each 172 00:09:49,050 --> 00:09:54,120 other. So I have to assume there is a kind of a mother set a set 173 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:54,240 of 174 00:09:55,530 --> 00:09:58,770 medicines. You mean a medicine is a medicine that who is it? I 175 00:09:58,770 --> 00:10:01,980 don't know medicine if that's Good question. That's a question 176 00:10:01,980 --> 00:10:02,880 for the War Room. 177 00:10:03,660 --> 00:10:04,560 The word Hey, 178 00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:05,970 how about Seth Rich? 179 00:10:08,670 --> 00:10:12,540 Know that the baby's name is officially Theodore. 180 00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:17,730 Theodore?

Mason is on the list. And so that means something 266 00:15:31,379 --> 00:15:35,219 currently happening involves a person named Mason. My wife used 267 00:15:35,219 --> 00:15:38,909 to always say that wow, that 90% of these names are from soap 268 00:15:38,909 --> 00:15:41,669 operas, but the number of soap operas is declined a lot, I 269 00:15:41,669 --> 00:15:44,579 think to three. And so I don't think I don't know that there's 270 00:15:44,579 --> 00:15:47,279 a Mason in any of the soap operas that people are named 271 00:15:47,399 --> 00:15:47,939 camp.

No one's ever heard of these guys. 279 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:14,610 I'm just reading the wiki I never heard of any of those 280 00:16:14,610 --> 00:16:19,440 people about mason jar. That's it.

All 295 00:17:19,350 --> 00:17:19,650 right. 296 00:17:19,829 --> 00:17:22,589 Let's move to another topic, I want to get into something that 297 00:17:22,859 --> 00:17:26,909 I studied a bit over the weekend. It didn't get a lot of 298 00:17:26,909 --> 00:17:30,269 play. But I read a lot of blogs, or most of the blogs, I think 299 00:17:30,269 --> 00:17:33,329 that are government based technology blogs and what's 300 00:17:33,329 --> 00:17:37,139 going on with you know just how they're handling information 301 00:17:37,139 --> 00:17:41,039 technology and government. And we had a new executive order 302 00:17:41,099 --> 00:17:43,529 signed. Last night, President Trump, 303 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,740 about an hour ago signed an executive order on 304 00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:49,560 cybersecurity. And that executive order, among other 305 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,260 things, is going to keep his promise that He has made to the 306 00:17:52,260 --> 00:17:55,500 American people to keep America safe, including in cyberspace, 307 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,440 I'd like to do a few things. I'll promise you that we 308 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,470 distribute the executive order. But if I could, I'll preview the 309 00:18:01,470 --> 00:18:04,740 executive order for you walk you through three primary sections, 310 00:18:04,740 --> 00:18:08,790 some of its wave tops, and then take your questions. Among other 311 00:18:08,790 --> 00:18:11,940 things, at least as an observation for me, I think the 312 00:18:11,940 --> 00:18:14,940 trend is going in the wrong direction in cyberspace. And 313 00:18:14,940 --> 00:18:17,580 it's time to stop that trend and reverse it on behalf of the 314 00:18:17,580 --> 00:18:18,300 American people. 315 00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:21,660 If they stopped if they stopped. This guy is a robot by the way, 316 00:18:21,660 --> 00:18:23,640 just let him just let him finish. 10 more seconds. 317 00:18:23,699 --> 00:18:26,369 We've seen a little bit like that Wally into beaver. 318 00:18:26,580 --> 00:18:28,800 If he's a robot, it's time to stop 319 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,110 that trend and reverse it on behalf of the American people. 320 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,590 We've seen increasing attacks from allies, adversaries, 321 00:18:34,860 --> 00:18:38,310 primarily nation states, but also non nation state actors. 322 00:18:38,580 --> 00:18:41,220 And sitting by and doing nothing is no longer an option. So 323 00:18:41,220 --> 00:18:43,590 President Trump's action today is a very heartening one. 324 00:18:44,730 --> 00:18:47,760 Okay, I looked at his executive order, there's a call for a lot 325 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,810 of reporting, we have to figure out what's going on. It does 326 00:18:51,810 --> 00:18:56,700 seem to cover all the bases, although I'm not so. So all in 327 00:18:56,730 --> 00:19:00,870 on in the recommendation of front being following the NIST 328 00:19:01,530 --> 00:19:06,090 cybersecurity framework. You know that apparently, the 329 00:19:06,090 --> 00:19:08,850 National Institute of Standards and Technologies at its 330 00:19:08,850 --> 00:19:13,200 standards and things stand just NIST? Yeah. What is the T stands 331 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,040 for Technology? 332 00:19:15,060 --> 00:19:17,490 Yeah, National Institute of Science and science. 333 00:19:18,090 --> 00:19:22,680 Yeah, I thought was standard. So who knows? We'll find out. And, 334 00:19:23,070 --> 00:19:25,650 and yeah, so they have a protocol that they've written 335 00:19:25,650 --> 00:19:28,800 up, which already to me says if you're publishing how we're 336 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,460 securing our networks, don't you kind of like, show what we're 337 00:19:32,460 --> 00:19:35,550 doing? And if anybody thinks that you've been hard and 338 00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:41,460 everything this is about human beings, the way you fight cyber 339 00:19:42,060 --> 00:19:47,610 actors is by having smart dudes and dudettes named Ben going in 340 00:19:47,610 --> 00:19:53,970 and fighting him back. But okay. But the coincidence of this 341 00:19:55,290 --> 00:19:59,520 coming right at the moment where we have now, they have not 342 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,310 really been in But to find any factual evidence that this most 343 00:20:02,310 --> 00:20:10,080 recent malware that is, you know, the ransomware that is the 344 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,050 head had been going around for bid couldn't really find any any 345 00:20:13,050 --> 00:20:17,610 proof that that is, you know, because of NSA or CIA tools that 346 00:20:17,610 --> 00:20:21,780 were stolen or leaked or anything, but I did find the 347 00:20:21,780 --> 00:20:23,130 coincidence. Sorry. 348 00:20:23,730 --> 00:20:26,640 I'm just gonna say I do have a clip from Artie. And that's the 349 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,050 only claim they make which is all NSA NSA NSA and they named 350 00:20:31,050 --> 00:20:31,650 some let's let's 351 00:20:31,650 --> 00:20:33,870 play that now then because that will that make sense in the in 352 00:20:33,870 --> 00:20:35,310 the story? Which one is it here? 353 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,540 This is a mall pan going on and on he I think he sounds like an 354 00:20:39,540 --> 00:20:43,680 idiot in this particular report. But yeah, who I can't find the 355 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,420 clip off Panama pan Maupin 356 00:20:45,450 --> 00:20:47,460 Yeah, that doesn't. There's nothing that starts with an M. 357 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,160 And that's because I'm, you know, me. German World Economic 358 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,460 view, West Virginia. Ransomware mopan, ma UPA and ramble 359 00:20:56,610 --> 00:20:59,820 in response to the hacking attack. We have world famous 360 00:20:59,820 --> 00:21:03,840 whistleblower Edward Snowden speaking up on Twitter, he 361 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:09,090 writes, whoa, NSA decision to build attack tools targeting us 362 00:21:09,090 --> 00:21:13,920 software now threaten the lives of hospital patients. It seems 363 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,490 he's referring to the fact that this is technology that was 364 00:21:17,490 --> 00:21:21,390 being used this this malware software known as ransomware, 365 00:21:21,510 --> 00:21:25,380 that encrypts data and then demands ransom. In order to give 366 00:21:25,380 --> 00:21:29,070 the data back to the institution or individual being hacked. It's 367 00:21:29,070 --> 00:21:33,540 known as as as ransomware. And it was developed by the US 368 00:21:33,570 --> 00:21:36,810 government, the NSA, the National Security Agency, 369 00:21:36,810 --> 00:21:40,080 apparently developed this software, with their own 370 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,710 research and with their own their own investigations and 371 00:21:43,710 --> 00:21:47,580 financed projects, and it was then leaked onto the internet by 372 00:21:47,580 --> 00:21:48,870 Shadow Brokers with 373 00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:53,940 Shadow Brokers, Shadow Brokers, any explanation on that I would 374 00:21:53,940 --> 00:21:55,410 have stopped the interview right there. 375 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,470 Where do I get a shadow he doesn't go he doesn't go any 376 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,230 deeper into it. He says they're a bunch of douchebags 377 00:22:01,470 --> 00:22:04,800 leaked onto the internet by Shadow Brokers, which is a shady 378 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,080 group that has been leaking NSA, 379 00:22:07,110 --> 00:22:10,500 oh, it's a shady group. In the shadows, there are shady group 380 00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:10,920 hacking 381 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,170 tools onto the the gang. 382 00:22:13,980 --> 00:22:15,090 I think it is a guy 383 00:22:16,650 --> 00:22:18,390 there in the in the shadows by 384 00:22:18,390 --> 00:22:23,670 Shadow Brokers, which is a shady group, leaking NSA hacking tools 385 00:22:23,790 --> 00:22:24,930 onto the internet. 386 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,790 I'm gonna put that in my business card. Hi, I'm Adam 387 00:22:26,790 --> 00:22:28,050 curry Shadow Broker. 388 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:33,330 So it seems this is also not the first time that that ransomware 389 00:22:33,330 --> 00:22:36,480 has been used. Apparently ransomware is affected. It's 390 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,870 been used against hospitals and telecommunications companies in 391 00:22:39,870 --> 00:22:44,850 Europe, in Russia, in various parts of Asia. And in even in 392 00:22:44,850 --> 00:22:48,840 Los Angeles. Just over a year ago, a hospital in Los Angeles 393 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,580 was targeted with a ransomware attack man paid over $17,000 in 394 00:22:53,580 --> 00:22:58,320 ransom to get its encrypted information back. So apparently 395 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,020 this is happening all over the world. And this is technology 396 00:23:01,020 --> 00:23:05,640 that was developed by the US government agency said to 397 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,150 protect the security of Americans. The National Security 398 00:23:09,150 --> 00:23:13,080 Agency developed this software and it's now being used by 399 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,680 criminals around the world to demand ransom very, very 400 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,750 interesting discovery and development 401 00:23:19,110 --> 00:23:22,770 and the New York Times right off the bat the lead hackers 402 00:23:22,770 --> 00:23:25,230 exploiting malicious software stolen from the National 403 00:23:25,230 --> 00:23:28,920 Security Agency executed damaging cyber attacks on Friday 404 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,160 that hit dozens of countries worldwide, forcing Britain's 405 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,130 public health system to send patients away freezing computers 406 00:23:35,130 --> 00:23:38,340 and Russia's interior ministry and wreaking havoc on 10s of 407 00:23:38,340 --> 00:23:43,260 1000s of computers elsewhere. And I don't know if they will of 408 00:23:43,260 --> 00:23:46,380 course they list Kaspersky is the guy who the Russians are the 409 00:23:46,380 --> 00:23:49,500 ones who saying yes, clearly. This was NSA tool and 410 00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:53,160 technology. Yes. They formed a group called the Shadow Brokers. 411 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,670 Come on New York Times. Come on. Sad. Well, there's 412 00:23:56,670 --> 00:24:00,960 a couple of things I find distressing. One is that 413 00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:03,840 ransomware they make it sound like this just showed up. I 414 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,480 mean, this has been going on for years. Yeah, two or three years 415 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,860 I've heard about ransomware but 416 00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:10,800 it's it's fun to make it all scary again, because we're all 417 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,630 going to die because hospital. 418 00:24:13,500 --> 00:24:16,680 Now the and it took a while before they finally attacked a 419 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,320 hospital which was a number I think at least a year or two 420 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,880 ago. And I don't think the original ransomware was any NSA 421 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,750 stuff. I mean, maybe it's possible, but I know that there 422 00:24:27,750 --> 00:24:31,110 was some ransomware code in the in the in the cache of stuff 423 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,210 pulled from the NSA maybe that's what they're doing. I think the 424 00:24:36,210 --> 00:24:38,940 point I'm trying to make but they're kind of lame at making 425 00:24:38,940 --> 00:24:40,680 it or actually they're doing a good job. 426 00:24:40,710 --> 00:24:42,360 I have a theory 427 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,160 the point I think they're trying to make the news media is that 428 00:24:48,390 --> 00:24:51,810 whatever we develop the problem is that the good the bad guys 429 00:24:51,810 --> 00:24:55,710 get a hold of this and then they can wreak havoc including spying 430 00:24:55,710 --> 00:24:59,220 tools, right? But as he knows lame 431 00:24:59,250 --> 00:25:03,210 well Again, this is coincidentally in the same, the 432 00:25:03,210 --> 00:25:06,210 same timeframe as the President's executive order. I'm 433 00:25:06,210 --> 00:25:08,850 just saying it's always a money Bonanza, we know it. I mean 434 00:25:08,850 --> 00:25:11,460 this, you read that executive order, it's money all over the 435 00:25:11,460 --> 00:25:15,330 place. I mean, we should be going in and pitching ideas. We 436 00:25:15,330 --> 00:25:17,640 should and we could get, we could get some money, we could 437 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,580 get some money, I would hope, but it's something else is going 438 00:25:20,580 --> 00:25:25,740 on with this particular wave. And it leads me to think about 439 00:25:25,740 --> 00:25:28,980 some other alternative options. There's a new player, a new 440 00:25:28,980 --> 00:25:31,620 shill in the game, it used to be CrowdStrike. Of course, these 441 00:25:31,620 --> 00:25:37,530 are the guys that examined the DC C's computer networks after 442 00:25:37,530 --> 00:25:42,960 the so called DNC see the so called Russian hacking. They did 443 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:43,530 not lie. 444 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,060 Are these the same servers that were never looked at by the FBI 445 00:25:48,060 --> 00:25:51,570 because the DNC never wanted anyone else to see him except 446 00:25:51,570 --> 00:25:53,760 these guys would make that stupid map? 447 00:25:54,180 --> 00:25:58,290 Well, there's new guys with a new stupid map. And that they 448 00:25:58,290 --> 00:26:03,090 have an added twist, which I'll get to in a moment. The company 449 00:26:03,090 --> 00:26:07,080 is malware tech, and they are doing interviews. The I think 450 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,290 the CEO, he's doing Skype interviews, and it looks like 451 00:26:10,470 --> 00:26:15,750 just from his office alone. It just feels like a 12 man company 452 00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:20,130 kind of deal, which could be a billion dollar company. And 453 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,050 here's an interview on CNN, listen carefully. 454 00:26:22,140 --> 00:26:23,970 Alright, welcome back. We're getting new information on the 455 00:26:23,970 --> 00:26:29,880 massive cyber attack users in nearly 100 countries, security 456 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,380 experts say the hackers, 457 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,460 what is it? What is this nearly 100? No. And let me look at the 458 00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:38,460 New York Times thing for a second. That's kind of 459 00:26:38,460 --> 00:26:42,780 hyperbole. If you owe 74 countries, according to The New 460 00:26:42,780 --> 00:26:44,850 York Times, that's not almost 100. 461 00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:46,560 The hackers have been paid 462 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,880 at least closer to 1000 $1,000. But 463 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,110 a cyber expert tells CNN the malware called wanna cry has 464 00:26:55,110 --> 00:26:58,320 been halted, at least for now. But not before it infected 1000s 465 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,310 of computers locking down and telling users to pay up or risk 466 00:27:02,310 --> 00:27:07,230 losing all of their data. What can anyone do to protect their 467 00:27:07,230 --> 00:27:11,220 data? protect themselves from this, this virus? Anything? 468 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,300 Yeah. So So first, and most important, people should patch 469 00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:20,460 their systems. Their computer was patched from an update. 470 00:27:21,090 --> 00:27:23,550 Shut up. And listen, don't be a douche. Listen, this is 471 00:27:23,550 --> 00:27:27,750 important. You'll be writing about this. Are you interested 472 00:27:27,750 --> 00:27:27,900 in I 473 00:27:28,590 --> 00:27:33,120 just got out of out of IV to my Ivy League school professor 474 00:27:33,150 --> 00:27:37,050 then say that instead of just making noise, when you make 475 00:27:37,050 --> 00:27:38,580 noise, I know you're not listening, 476 00:27:39,030 --> 00:27:40,230 go on that but 477 00:27:41,159 --> 00:27:46,499 patch their systems. If their computer was patched from an 478 00:27:46,499 --> 00:27:49,259 update that was released by Microsoft in March, then they 479 00:27:49,259 --> 00:27:51,509 would have been protected. Oh, 480 00:27:51,540 --> 00:27:56,850 hold on a second. If they had been patched in March, they 481 00:27:56,850 --> 00:28:00,300 would have been protected. I follow these patterns. This 482 00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:04,290 before I follow these patches and stuff from Microsoft i I 483 00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:07,890 tweeted something about this. I said I'm Microsoft's fault is 484 00:28:07,890 --> 00:28:11,670 things even even work at all. And now and then somebody said, 485 00:28:11,670 --> 00:28:14,700 Send me a tweet back. He's saying that way I know, if you 486 00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:18,360 had patched yourself in March with and I'm thinking this is 487 00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:23,130 nonsense. Malware can I mean, if you can get into if anything, if 488 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,570 any of these systems can get into into the into the operating 489 00:28:27,570 --> 00:28:31,980 system at all, it can do this. It could create a malware 490 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,110 ransomware situation, it seems to me Listen to Pat, probably 491 00:28:37,170 --> 00:28:39,030 the patch may have blocked the one thing. 492 00:28:39,060 --> 00:28:41,910 Sure. All right. So when you can take your head out of Silicon 493 00:28:41,910 --> 00:28:44,670 Valley for a second and just listen to the messaging this guy 494 00:28:44,670 --> 00:28:47,340 is sending you might understand. But okay. 495 00:28:47,909 --> 00:28:51,659 But there are also legacy systems that a lot of for 496 00:28:51,659 --> 00:28:56,459 example, healthcare systems have to use an a patch was not 497 00:28:56,459 --> 00:28:59,069 released for those such as Windows XP, 498 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,070 this is this is what this is the messaging. Forget about the 499 00:29:02,070 --> 00:29:03,570 whole ransomware pain 500 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,900 being paid off by Microsoft. Yes, 501 00:29:07,409 --> 00:29:12,779 exactly. And I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to say, Hey, 502 00:29:12,779 --> 00:29:14,369 guys, we're gonna release something and we're not gonna do 503 00:29:14,369 --> 00:29:16,859 a patch for XP for that. We're just gonna do a patch for 504 00:29:16,859 --> 00:29:20,309 Windows 10. And then let's see if all the hospitals don't want 505 00:29:20,309 --> 00:29:24,509 to upgrade now. That's, that's what's going on here. 506 00:29:27,930 --> 00:29:31,230 I really, you know, the other thing is, I'm kind of doubting 507 00:29:31,740 --> 00:29:35,460 that the ransomware I'd be targeting these old XP systems. 508 00:29:36,540 --> 00:29:39,480 Why not? If you're Microsoft and you want to sell windows, 509 00:29:39,570 --> 00:29:42,270 if you're Microsoft? Yes, that's what you want to do. Yeah, I 510 00:29:42,270 --> 00:29:45,270 mean, I'm thinking of a real cyber criminal. 511 00:29:46,590 --> 00:29:50,160 Yeah, a real cyber criminal who gets paid to make X people 512 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,250 talking about a real cyber criminal who's a cyber criminal, 513 00:29:53,250 --> 00:29:57,270 not some shill paid by, you know, Microsoft or, or one of 514 00:29:57,270 --> 00:29:58,800 these operations is 515 00:29:58,860 --> 00:30:01,620 a real cyber criminal. isn't you know he's gonna go get real 516 00:30:01,620 --> 00:30:03,930 money from somewhere he's not going to fool around with this 517 00:30:03,930 --> 00:30:04,710 bullcrap. 518 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,610 She's just, yeah, these are all nerves. But now 519 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,150 here's the great thing about this. This malware tech.com They 520 00:30:12,150 --> 00:30:17,040 have a map. They have a cyber map. And you can find it at 521 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,360 Intel dot malware tech.com. But they had there's a little 522 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,990 there's a little button. What is this button? I gotta read it 523 00:30:24,990 --> 00:30:27,180 tell you what this button says. Hold on. So I'm gonna bring up 524 00:30:27,180 --> 00:30:31,680 the map now. Oh, it's called Norse mode. November Oscar 525 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,610 Romeo, Sierra echo. And when you do it now, when you turn on 526 00:30:35,610 --> 00:30:41,310 Norse mode, then it gives you sound. So we're seeing had you 527 00:30:41,310 --> 00:30:42,480 had this map up any chance? 528 00:30:42,570 --> 00:30:43,920 I'm trying to get it up here. 529 00:30:45,690 --> 00:30:47,010 We write down that time code 530 00:30:48,870 --> 00:30:51,000 will work. Yeah, now we're check. 531 00:30:51,570 --> 00:30:55,410 I'm trying to get it off. You said okay. Here, I'll send this 532 00:30:55,410 --> 00:30:59,670 link to you. This is really these guys are just taking it to 533 00:30:59,670 --> 00:31:02,460 a whole new level. So it's very familiar map and give this to 534 00:31:02,460 --> 00:31:04,350 them looking at I'm giving this to the war room. I 535 00:31:04,350 --> 00:31:06,840 don't see the arrows going back and forth with me. No, 536 00:31:06,870 --> 00:31:10,740 but if you turn on Norse mode, which I'll do now this is what 537 00:31:10,740 --> 00:31:11,340 you hear 538 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:16,890 with every head hearing 539 00:31:16,919 --> 00:31:21,299 do you guys doing? Yeah, of course 540 00:31:21,300 --> 00:31:26,850 it is. It's exactly what it is. Guys. This is their map. So 541 00:31:26,850 --> 00:31:31,140 they've added enhancements with sound for the little blow up of 542 00:31:31,140 --> 00:31:34,740 the cyber attack. There's another one John. Oh, no. Oh, 543 00:31:34,740 --> 00:31:41,640 no. Oh, no. New York's getting hit. Oh, it's pew pew 544 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,160 ridiculous. 545 00:31:44,189 --> 00:31:47,699 Yeah. So this made me only think more this is a scam this all 546 00:31:47,699 --> 00:31:50,729 these guys this whole thing is a scam. Well, they 547 00:31:50,730 --> 00:31:54,660 took it to the next level. They don't have they don't have the 548 00:31:54,660 --> 00:31:57,750 animation they get. I'm looking at the live map. And it's just 549 00:31:57,750 --> 00:32:01,050 shows these things being two things going off. Yeah, but 550 00:32:01,050 --> 00:32:04,110 doesn't have the thing firing from left to right. I know this 551 00:32:04,110 --> 00:32:05,790 is well, this is not as good. 552 00:32:05,820 --> 00:32:11,460 No, but it's a start. I love it. I just love it. 553 00:32:12,420 --> 00:32:15,930 What kind of idiots do we have in Congress and around the world 554 00:32:15,930 --> 00:32:19,440 and that that buy into all this crap? 555 00:32:19,470 --> 00:32:24,780 Well, the same kind of idiots who continue to equate the 556 00:32:24,810 --> 00:32:29,010 Trump's firing of Comey with Watergate. And I did not have a 557 00:32:29,010 --> 00:32:32,520 chance to watch the movie, Dick. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to 558 00:32:33,150 --> 00:32:38,880 look at that. Because I we know that the comparisons really are 559 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:44,730 way off. But Lester Holt of course had from NBC. NBC, yeah. 560 00:32:45,060 --> 00:32:49,470 Had his interview with with the President. And pretty much 561 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:55,170 consistently everyone's talking about this being cover up like 562 00:32:55,170 --> 00:33:02,160 Watergate. Democracy is is dead effect. Let's play this one to 563 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,170 start off with just to give you a little flavor. This, of 564 00:33:04,170 --> 00:33:10,800 course, is a CNN CNN panel. Philip Mudd, who is a frequent 565 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,120 guest these days. 566 00:33:12,630 --> 00:33:15,480 He's former PHILIP MUDD is related to Roger mud 567 00:33:15,510 --> 00:33:18,450 noise, a former CIA douche. I don't know if he's related or 568 00:33:18,450 --> 00:33:22,530 not. Just Just listen to how he how he categorizes this, the 569 00:33:22,530 --> 00:33:23,460 firing of Comey 570 00:33:23,490 --> 00:33:25,890 let me I know this is gonna sound facetious. I'm breathing a 571 00:33:25,890 --> 00:33:28,980 sigh of relief. You can't take this seriously. You could have 572 00:33:28,980 --> 00:33:31,320 taken this seriously from President Bush or President 573 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,530 Obama from President Bush's father, from President Clinton. 574 00:33:35,190 --> 00:33:37,770 You can't take this seriously. It's you feel like you gotta 575 00:33:37,770 --> 00:33:40,680 give the president united states a pacifier in a rattle and put 576 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,010 them in the crib. You're threatening the FBI who's in the 577 00:33:44,010 --> 00:33:47,700 midst of an investigation of presidential aides. The FBI has 578 00:33:47,700 --> 00:33:50,340 been around since 1908. The Pres. United States had been 579 00:33:50,340 --> 00:33:52,770 around for three and a half months. If you think you're 580 00:33:52,770 --> 00:33:55,920 going to intimidate the FBI, the former FBI director in the 581 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,350 dozens of people in the workforce who are conducting 582 00:33:58,350 --> 00:33:59,370 talking about 583 00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:04,350 how he's talking about the about Trump saying his tweet said, 584 00:34:04,350 --> 00:34:07,080 Well, I hope you were recordings you weren't taped, which, you 585 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,230 know, everyone's reading this by saying, Oh, you think he's 586 00:34:10,230 --> 00:34:13,650 taping everybody? I read it very differently. I read it to say, 587 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,130 Hey, I got wiretaps. How about you maybe your wiretaps, I 588 00:34:17,130 --> 00:34:20,190 didn't get it as a threat. It was immediately categorized as a 589 00:34:20,190 --> 00:34:23,040 threat. And I finished this clip here. 590 00:34:23,070 --> 00:34:26,130 The FBI has been around since 1908. The Pres. United States 591 00:34:26,130 --> 00:34:28,770 have been around for three and a half months. If you think you're 592 00:34:28,770 --> 00:34:31,920 going to intimidate the FBI, the former FBI director in the 593 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,260 dozens of people in the workforce who are conducting 594 00:34:34,260 --> 00:34:37,140 this investigation with the Department of Justice. You got 595 00:34:37,140 --> 00:34:40,320 another thing coming nobody believes the president knighted 596 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,530 states from the day he came in and misrepresented how many 597 00:34:43,530 --> 00:34:46,830 people showed up at the stupid inauguration to the claims he 598 00:34:46,830 --> 00:34:49,140 made at the beginning about where the President of the 599 00:34:49,140 --> 00:34:52,260 United States his predecessor was born. Nobody believes this 600 00:34:52,260 --> 00:34:54,930 guy anymore, which is why I look at the threaten the tweet and 601 00:34:54,930 --> 00:34:58,200 can't take it seriously. The man I have any credibility. 602 00:34:58,380 --> 00:35:02,400 I have immense respect for For you, we talk all the time i You 603 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,240 can't call the inauguration stupid, but where you're out 604 00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:09,450 know the credit claims of who how many people showed up? That 605 00:35:09,450 --> 00:35:10,470 was ridiculous. 606 00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:14,520 First of all, we look a little bit like a a 20th century Banana 607 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,090 Republic at the moment. Oh, yeah, this is outrageous. 608 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:19,290 Second, 609 00:35:19,980 --> 00:35:24,960 neither Banana Republic part is listening to these guys. Guys is 610 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:30,480 a he's what kind of a person is this? How can they see he put up 611 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,450 is that is this the new perspective of the CIA? I 612 00:35:33,450 --> 00:35:36,930 would think this Yeah, that this he's being sent out this is the 613 00:35:36,930 --> 00:35:37,320 guy. 614 00:35:37,830 --> 00:35:42,630 This is outrageous, outrageous. Second thing. This is 9919 73 in 615 00:35:42,630 --> 00:35:46,500 1973, the president could have assumed that he owned the tapes. 616 00:35:46,590 --> 00:35:50,640 Those are federal records. Thanks to Richard Nixon's court 617 00:35:50,700 --> 00:35:53,640 challenges. Not every moment on those tapes would be federal 618 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,710 records, but most of them they are federal records. So he 619 00:35:55,710 --> 00:35:58,920 couldn't even destroy them in 1973. Richard Nixon, actually, 620 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,070 before the subpoenas could have destroyed the tapes, I don't 621 00:36:02,070 --> 00:36:03,750 believe there are tapes, but if there are, 622 00:36:05,250 --> 00:36:07,560 this is not going to be a very long administration. 623 00:36:08,460 --> 00:36:13,830 Oh, see, this is all this Watergate comparison. Now we 624 00:36:13,830 --> 00:36:15,750 have Jason Johnson, who is oh, 625 00:36:15,750 --> 00:36:20,220 you know, this is why the you know, my two buddies, but to 626 00:36:20,220 --> 00:36:21,690 left requires your 627 00:36:21,690 --> 00:36:25,560 journalist, professor, a professor and Marianne, 628 00:36:25,650 --> 00:36:29,430 this is why okay, this is interesting, because I, I know 629 00:36:29,430 --> 00:36:31,500 there's been this sort of messaging going on, but these 630 00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:35,550 two guys are now about to take bets. That that this is the 631 00:36:35,550 --> 00:36:36,000 latest? 632 00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:39,510 Oh, wait a minute, are you gonna win money again? Oh, 633 00:36:39,540 --> 00:36:44,220 it's like taking candy from a baby guys. The the upcoming bet 634 00:36:44,250 --> 00:36:47,730 appears to be that Trump will be impeached and out of office 635 00:36:47,730 --> 00:36:55,740 within the next 100 days. Of term serious. That's exactly 636 00:36:55,740 --> 00:36:58,680 what they're thinking. And this is where they're getting it from 637 00:36:59,459 --> 00:37:02,939 that. What did I have on? And are they still think in article 638 00:37:02,939 --> 00:37:03,749 25? 639 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,020 Yeah, yeah, in fact, an article 25 was in one of the most recent 640 00:37:07,020 --> 00:37:07,530 emails, 641 00:37:07,830 --> 00:37:12,540 because I do have this was from the independent members of US 642 00:37:12,540 --> 00:37:15,720 Congress are apparently holding private conversations about 643 00:37:15,720 --> 00:37:19,680 whether Donald Trump should be removed from office. And this 644 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:25,770 would be under Article 25. And here it is the way it's 645 00:37:25,770 --> 00:37:29,940 explained in the article, the 25th Amendment added in 1967 646 00:37:29,940 --> 00:37:31,890 allows the president to be removed if they are deemed to be 647 00:37:31,890 --> 00:37:36,840 unable to discharge the powers and duties of this office. This 648 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,900 judge that judgment can be made either by the Vice President and 649 00:37:39,900 --> 00:37:44,250 a majority of the cabinet, which will be the way to go or buy a 650 00:37:44,250 --> 00:37:47,910 separate body, such as a panel of medical experts appointed by 651 00:37:47,910 --> 00:37:48,570 Congress. 652 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,280 I think the word medical experts is the key phrase. Yeah. 653 00:37:53,310 --> 00:37:57,120 Because didn't say doctors just said, but I think 654 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,710 is this is the 60s. Okay, article 67. Why was it put in 655 00:38:01,710 --> 00:38:08,340 there? I mean, I'm sure 25 Why was it put in there in 1967? 656 00:38:09,029 --> 00:38:11,849 What happened? And you would know 1967 What happened? 657 00:38:12,090 --> 00:38:16,500 Oh, thank you. I don't know. I mean, either Lyndon Johnson was 658 00:38:16,530 --> 00:38:19,500 probably perceived by many as being completely nuts, which he 659 00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:23,160 was. And he was the president. He ended up in the Vietnam War 660 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:28,080 is completely out of control. It was pre Nixon. So it couldn't be 661 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,020 about Nixon. And by the way, if anybody could have been taken 662 00:38:31,020 --> 00:38:34,830 out using that article 25, or whatever, it would have been 663 00:38:34,830 --> 00:38:37,650 Nixon because he was crawling around and all these things you 664 00:38:37,650 --> 00:38:43,620 heard about. And interesting. Okay, and have it continue with 665 00:38:43,620 --> 00:38:47,400 your thinking because I think it's explaining a lot to me. 666 00:38:47,580 --> 00:38:48,030 Yeah. 667 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:53,400 Well, now we'll go to Jason Johnson of the root, who appears 668 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:58,620 on also on CNN, and I like his words. I didn't know he was such 669 00:38:58,620 --> 00:38:59,490 an expert in everything. 670 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:00,390 He said. How do you say it? 671 00:39:00,870 --> 00:39:04,200 Like I said, this is this is how democracy dies. And that's not 672 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:04,980 hyperbole. 673 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,870 Okay. Wow. It's not hyperbole. Yeah, it is. Exactly. Hyperbole, 674 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,580 is by definition, exactly. Because democracy is not a thing 675 00:39:14,580 --> 00:39:18,960 that can actually die literally die, as in the life snuffed out 676 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:24,900 of it. That would be a figure of speech. But he say, No, it's not 677 00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:27,600 hyperbole. It is it thank you. It is the definition of 678 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,050 hyperbole. A thing like democracy doesn't actually 679 00:39:31,050 --> 00:39:32,160 literally die. 680 00:39:32,370 --> 00:39:35,760 Deke Jason, how do you say it? Like I said, this is this is how 681 00:39:35,790 --> 00:39:39,330 democracy dies. And that's not hyperbole. When you have a 682 00:39:39,330 --> 00:39:43,440 situation where issues of national security are sublimated 683 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,710 in favor of the personal desires, whims and loyalty 684 00:39:46,710 --> 00:39:49,860 pledges to the President of the United States, that is no longer 685 00:39:49,860 --> 00:39:54,180 a functioning democracy. This is a clarion call to every single 686 00:39:54,180 --> 00:39:55,380 member of Congress 687 00:39:55,620 --> 00:39:59,520 phrase from the Shay's clarion call. Yeah. What's that? What 688 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,500 does it entail? was the Clarion refers to 689 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,760 some sort of a verse. To me, I always visualize it as someone 690 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,120 with a big horn, and they're honking it. And it's from the 691 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:15,300 Greek era of Clarion, do to do this, like Paul Revere, 692 00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:16,050 kind of, but 693 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,040 knighted states, that is no longer a functioning democracy. 694 00:40:20,220 --> 00:40:24,630 This is a clarion call to every single member of Congress to 695 00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:27,990 stand up and call for an independent investigation of 696 00:40:27,990 --> 00:40:30,900 this entire administration above and beyond what happened with 697 00:40:30,900 --> 00:40:33,750 Russia. So it doesn't matter who the president no matter who he 698 00:40:33,750 --> 00:40:37,470 picks to replace him. This is a constitutional and a sovereignty 699 00:40:37,470 --> 00:40:40,410 crisis crisis to say this, Chris Nelson, I think this is really 700 00:40:40,410 --> 00:40:42,360 important at the end of the day, call me probably should have 701 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,200 gotten fired anyway. But the timing of this is what makes it 702 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,410 so problematic. And the reason why the administration did it, 703 00:40:49,410 --> 00:40:52,110 basically, because he wouldn't give them a cheat sheet about 704 00:40:52,110 --> 00:40:54,870 his testimony last week. That's not how democracy is supposed to 705 00:40:54,870 --> 00:40:58,020 function. It just seems Chris, it seems really unlikely that 706 00:40:58,020 --> 00:41:00,600 James Comey would have a sit down with President Trump and 707 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,640 say, you're not under investigation. What good 708 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,400 investigator does that that doesn't make any sense. When 709 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,100 it's an ongoing investigation. We know the president that has a 710 00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:12,000 tendency to lie, but even going back to Rosenstein and I, I pity 711 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,400 him in a way in this situation, if your boss comes to you and 712 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,420 says, Look, tell me how to do something. Right. You know, it's 713 00:41:18,420 --> 00:41:21,390 his job to provide that information. But it's sort of 714 00:41:21,390 --> 00:41:23,970 like, Oh, gee, I'm not saying I did it. But here's how I would 715 00:41:23,970 --> 00:41:26,280 if you had great 716 00:41:26,430 --> 00:41:28,920 concerns, or unhinge? Yeah. 717 00:41:28,950 --> 00:41:31,740 And so, you know, he didn't want to end up getting blamed for 718 00:41:31,740 --> 00:41:34,500 this ultimately, because he still has to walk through the 719 00:41:34,500 --> 00:41:38,520 hallways of the FBI and maintain relations with career DiPel with 720 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,860 career investigators, and he wants to make sure that the 721 00:41:40,860 --> 00:41:43,410 blood is not on his hands as a scandal spreads 722 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,490 Jason Johnson is doing here is concocting before your very eyes 723 00:41:47,490 --> 00:41:51,600 and actual conspiracy theory. They just have to call it what 724 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,680 it is not quite as good though as Bob Schieffer. Bob sheep. Now 725 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,790 is Bob Schieffer from Fox News he Fox. No, no, no, he's CBS. 726 00:42:00,390 --> 00:42:01,740 CBS Bob Schieffer. 727 00:42:02,220 --> 00:42:07,170 I think he I think him Yeah, it's either NBC or CBS. But when 728 00:42:07,170 --> 00:42:10,920 I see think CBS I think a John Dickerson but Shaffer may 729 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:15,390 Schieffer sheet for me, for him and I see the amendment the ABS 730 00:42:15,390 --> 00:42:18,630 CBS. Well, of course, Bob Schieffer is old enough to have 731 00:42:18,630 --> 00:42:25,800 witnessed the Watergate scandal. Oh, yeah. And just to just to 732 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,320 let everybody know, even though very few people know what the 733 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,080 scandal really was about anymore, and there are elements 734 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,810 that are being cherry picked to compare it to this particular 735 00:42:33,810 --> 00:42:38,010 situation. It was so severe at the time that now every scandal 736 00:42:38,010 --> 00:42:42,030 has the word gate stuck onto the end. Exactly. The just, I mean, 737 00:42:42,030 --> 00:42:46,590 this is pretty severe stuff. Here she for severe gate, severe 738 00:42:46,590 --> 00:42:49,650 gates, yes, unhinged gates. There you go. unhinged gate 739 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,740 perfect. The here's Schieffer, CBS 740 00:42:52,740 --> 00:42:56,040 News contributor Bob Schaeffer cover the Nixon administration 741 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,100 that solves that question many others during his very stellar 742 00:42:59,100 --> 00:43:02,070 career. He's with us now from Washington. But first, let's 743 00:43:02,070 --> 00:43:04,950 just say it's really good to see you really good to see you in 744 00:43:04,950 --> 00:43:05,490 Washington. 745 00:43:07,710 --> 00:43:11,790 In other words, I glad to see that you can still walk in your 746 00:43:11,790 --> 00:43:12,420 Cumbria 747 00:43:13,830 --> 00:43:15,870 The Walking Dead ages and much No, 748 00:43:15,870 --> 00:43:18,060 I don't think so. Let's see you in Washington and on the 749 00:43:18,060 --> 00:43:22,950 satellite this morning. So Well, thank you very much, you. Just 750 00:43:22,950 --> 00:43:25,710 hearing your voice. So Bob, is this a fair comparison? 751 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,730 You know, there are many parallels to Watergate. But I 752 00:43:29,730 --> 00:43:33,960 have to tell you, I think all the way back to the Kennedy 753 00:43:33,990 --> 00:43:38,130 assassination to draw parallels I was there as you know, I have 754 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:42,210 always felt because Lee Harvey Oswald had been put on trial, a 755 00:43:42,210 --> 00:43:46,560 lot of these conspiracy theories that are still circulating today 756 00:43:46,770 --> 00:43:47,790 would have been put 757 00:43:47,790 --> 00:43:55,140 at rest, then. Wow, that's, you know, I was listening to some 758 00:43:55,170 --> 00:43:59,610 some right wing talk radio. And this this, this has become a 759 00:43:59,610 --> 00:44:03,270 meme. Yeah. Well, I think the really the main the meme is oh, 760 00:44:03,330 --> 00:44:08,640 well, you know, if Harvey Oswald was put to trial, they would no 761 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,720 longer there would never exist in the history of mankind, a 762 00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:13,920 conspiracy theory. 763 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:20,700 Exactly. I'm shooting holes in the conspiracy theory. Well, 764 00:44:20,700 --> 00:44:24,990 there's also as I looked into this a little bit, there is a 765 00:44:25,020 --> 00:44:28,440 theory, that conspiracy theory that has been around longer than 766 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:32,100 I've been alive, or they've been into conspiracy theories, that 767 00:44:32,100 --> 00:44:35,490 the Nixon Watergate scandal got so blown out of proportion or 768 00:44:35,490 --> 00:44:39,180 was somehow plan to fail, because they needed to cover up 769 00:44:39,180 --> 00:44:46,530 the assassination of Kennedy. And there's some circumstantial 770 00:44:46,530 --> 00:44:51,300 evidence in the Nixon tapes that he was referring to, oh, man, we 771 00:44:51,300 --> 00:44:54,060 can't have them opening up the whole Bay of Pigs thing again, 772 00:44:54,060 --> 00:44:57,000 and I didn't get too deep into it because it doesn't really 773 00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:01,620 matter. But there is something to To see for his onto something 774 00:45:01,620 --> 00:45:06,900 in a way but another is unhinged clearly. To even bring this up, 775 00:45:07,110 --> 00:45:11,160 but you want unhinged. You need to listen to mica Of course. 776 00:45:12,780 --> 00:45:15,960 Mica over there at the morning Joe's with the MSNBC. 777 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,970 I have to ask you something. Yeah. I don't watch the show 778 00:45:20,970 --> 00:45:24,030 because it's on two in the morning till six in the morning 779 00:45:24,030 --> 00:45:28,590 or something. It's on so early. And but I recorded it because I 780 00:45:28,590 --> 00:45:32,370 watched the the Saturday Night Live take off. Yeah, I don't 781 00:45:32,370 --> 00:45:36,120 know if you saw this, of course. Yeah. Last week. I saw I watched 782 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:40,650 it I went this this deck because I haven't seen the show or I 783 00:45:40,650 --> 00:45:44,520 haven't watched the show for years. I had watched the joke of 784 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:48,810 it and I said this is nuts. Is this anything close to the real 785 00:45:48,810 --> 00:45:52,680 show? I recorded and watch the show. It was spot 786 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,190 on and Mika's head movements of the way she leans back and voice 787 00:45:56,190 --> 00:45:59,250 she mouths words of mica was nailed 788 00:45:59,940 --> 00:46:04,800 I go to Effect I was stunned by how good that parody was being 789 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,360 it was like so and against looking over like you know and I 790 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,100 saw that too.

Well here is mica is a little freaked 792 00:46:14,190 --> 00:46:17,100 out I personally think it's over I don't think there's anything 793 00:46:17,100 --> 00:46:20,310 that can be done that can stop this at this point. Cacophony 794 00:46:20,310 --> 00:46:25,200 this gushing of lies problems questions chaos that will stop 795 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,990 this presidency in its tracks because they won't be able to 796 00:46:27,990 --> 00:46:30,780 get anything else done.

Yeah. 842 00:48:41,340 --> 00:48:44,430 While she's reading his lines in the prompter. Hello. Has to be 843 00:48:44,430 --> 00:48:46,440 the premise of our reporting going forward? Well, 844 00:48:46,830 --> 00:48:49,530 we don't wait at this moment. We don't know what is being covered 845 00:48:49,530 --> 00:48:52,860 up. That is still a huge question. How big it is, who it 846 00:48:52,860 --> 00:48:55,860 goes to? Is it financial? Is it personal? Does it involve the 847 00:48:55,860 --> 00:48:58,500 President himself or just as associates? We don't know. But 848 00:48:58,530 --> 00:49:00,900 related to this, this administration in this campaign 849 00:49:00,900 --> 00:49:04,590 in Russia, everything that they are doing, gives the clear 850 00:49:04,590 --> 00:49:08,130 appearance of people who are trying to cover stuff up lie 851 00:49:08,130 --> 00:49:10,950 about things and they are doing it with extraordinary 852 00:49:10,950 --> 00:49:13,890 ineptitude. I don't know if you're right, that this will 853 00:49:13,890 --> 00:49:17,040 bring all thing crashing down. But if it does, if we end up 854 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,980 there now this will be the moment that caused the entire 855 00:49:19,980 --> 00:49:21,750 thing in the end to fall apart right? 856 00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:24,300 So they're only interested in the cover up because the cover 857 00:49:24,300 --> 00:49:27,510 up is much juicy your story then what may or may not have 858 00:49:27,510 --> 00:49:30,060 happened because there's probably not that much that 859 00:49:30,060 --> 00:49:33,240 happened. But the cover up is a juicy story. You can you can 860 00:49:33,270 --> 00:49:37,200 posit about that forever. But have a little montage here, just 861 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,440 hold on a second, there's another there's a little thing 862 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:45,630 that is in there. That kind of self contradicts what they're 863 00:49:45,630 --> 00:49:54,000 doing. If it's a cover up, and which they said and it's the 864 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,450 most incompetent cover up, which they said, 865 00:49:57,900 --> 00:50:00,360 Yeah, how come they can't figure out what they're covering? up. 866 00:50:00,900 --> 00:50:01,260 Yeah, 867 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:06,510 instantly. Yeah. Because it's incompetent. Yes. I have more 868 00:50:06,510 --> 00:50:11,070 examples of this later. There. These guys are unhinged. 869 00:50:12,090 --> 00:50:17,850 On hinge gate. Here's a little compilation of the news networks 870 00:50:17,850 --> 00:50:19,350 over the past 24 hours. President 871 00:50:19,350 --> 00:50:23,070 Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey stung 872 00:50:23,070 --> 00:50:27,120 Washington sending shockwaves through the agency Tuesday Night 873 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:31,200 Massacre. Let's play hardball. It's a grotesque abuse of power 874 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,000 by the President of the United States. 875 00:50:33,029 --> 00:50:35,669 Again, disdain for the presidency. This is bigger than 876 00:50:35,669 --> 00:50:37,949 Trump. It's about America. People are calling it a 877 00:50:37,949 --> 00:50:39,659 constitutional crisis. We are in a full 878 00:50:39,660 --> 00:50:41,190 blown constitutional crisis. 879 00:50:41,639 --> 00:50:46,199 absolutely bizarre statement for this bizarre president to make 880 00:50:46,229 --> 00:50:46,709 and Donald 881 00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,290 Trump in writing that sentence that he clearly couldn't hold 882 00:50:49,290 --> 00:50:52,410 back on is raising his own potential criminal liability. a 883 00:50:52,410 --> 00:50:52,710 whiff 884 00:50:52,709 --> 00:50:55,319 of fascism tonight, I think it's fair to say I don't care about 885 00:50:55,319 --> 00:50:55,739 the law 886 00:50:55,769 --> 00:50:58,799 on the bus. It's understandable that people are comparing it to 887 00:50:58,799 --> 00:50:59,729 Watergate. This is 888 00:50:59,730 --> 00:51:03,210 the kind of thing that goes on in non democracies. 889 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,509 This is a terribly dangerous moment in American history. 890 00:51:06,540 --> 00:51:09,150 Has there ever been anything that rose to this level other 891 00:51:09,150 --> 00:51:10,440 than the Saturday Night Massacre and 892 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,410 the time that you've been an observer of American politics? I 893 00:51:13,410 --> 00:51:16,710 can't think of it. I've heard some people call this a dark day 894 00:51:16,710 --> 00:51:17,910 for our democracy. 895 00:51:17,939 --> 00:51:20,849 This is nice. I could have come up with that. That's 896 00:51:20,849 --> 00:51:24,299 alliteration to the max dark day for democracy, Trump, 897 00:51:24,390 --> 00:51:25,860 it's about the presidency, 898 00:51:26,159 --> 00:51:29,789 which is being diminished on a daily basis, the Capitol is 899 00:51:29,789 --> 00:51:30,299 filling 900 00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:34,320 with echoes of Watergate. And the question this morning is 901 00:51:34,620 --> 00:51:39,060 whether the centuries old system of checks and balances will 902 00:51:39,060 --> 00:51:40,830 swing into action. 903 00:51:43,500 --> 00:51:47,250 All right, what this results in is stuff like this on the face 904 00:51:47,250 --> 00:51:58,200 bag. From someone I know, oh, woman late 50s. The verbal Kamla 905 00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,860 Harris breaking it down now on CNN, you are accused of a crime 906 00:52:01,860 --> 00:52:04,440 you are under investigation, you happen to work in the same 907 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,920 system now pursuing charges against you, you fire the cop 908 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,070 who reports the crime, the DEA on the case and the judge who 909 00:52:11,070 --> 00:52:15,030 oversees the proceedings. This does not happen. Every day in 910 00:52:15,030 --> 00:52:17,430 this country citizens are in the uncomfortable and unhappy 911 00:52:17,430 --> 00:52:20,130 position of being under the scrutiny of our legal system. 912 00:52:20,340 --> 00:52:22,950 Some of them also have power over that system. What does it 913 00:52:22,950 --> 00:52:25,950 say to every citizen if those in power can manipulate the system 914 00:52:25,950 --> 00:52:28,770 to control or avoid an undesirable personal outcome? 915 00:52:28,980 --> 00:52:32,370 But then again, isn't that what Trump did in Texas and Florida 916 00:52:32,370 --> 00:52:35,250 to make the cases go away for Trump University? Isn't that 917 00:52:35,250 --> 00:52:38,040 what he's always done, manipulated the system and throw 918 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,070 a tantrum bully and steamroll his way to the outcome. He wants 919 00:52:41,130 --> 00:52:43,890 trampling vendors, municipalities any person in his 920 00:52:43,890 --> 00:52:47,580 way using bankruptcy to diminish his exposure not only is there a 921 00:52:47,580 --> 00:52:50,760 giant red flag on this idiots forehead, it's being ignored for 922 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,690 reasons completely unfathomable to any sane person. There is no 923 00:52:54,690 --> 00:53:00,240 rational explanation. This is treason. Treason treason. Yeah, 924 00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:00,900 that's a new one. 925 00:53:01,410 --> 00:53:04,530 That that rewild argument to treason. 926 00:53:05,490 --> 00:53:08,970 It's treason. I've heard this a number of times people calling 927 00:53:08,970 --> 00:53:12,750 this treason. How is it treason it's not treason. It's 928 00:53:12,750 --> 00:53:14,100 not me. What's treason? 929 00:53:14,100 --> 00:53:18,480 It's not treason. It's also not a constitutional crisis. It's 930 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:23,040 also not the death of democracy. It's none of those things. None 931 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:27,630 of those things, please, but that's but that's not the point. 932 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,300 The point is people are getting sick. 933 00:53:30,750 --> 00:53:32,370 Yeah, I agree with them. So 934 00:53:32,370 --> 00:53:36,060 you know, and we might as well go straight into this. Let's 935 00:53:36,060 --> 00:53:39,810 just give you LOL treason. All right, who else do you think 936 00:53:39,810 --> 00:53:42,870 would call it treason of all the smart people on television? 937 00:53:44,580 --> 00:53:45,300 Everybody 938 00:53:46,170 --> 00:53:49,290 who would be up front and center telling the rest of the women in 939 00:53:49,290 --> 00:53:50,550 America it's treason. 940 00:53:51,690 --> 00:53:56,310 I know this is like an obvious answer. I'm supposed to get your 941 00:53:56,310 --> 00:53:57,810 Janine garofolo Oh, 942 00:53:57,810 --> 00:54:00,000 snow, Joy Bay har 943 00:54:00,990 --> 00:54:03,810 times there's a picture which that we have to show you where 944 00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,950 Trump is basically, in the Oval Office. Can we get that chat? We 945 00:54:07,950 --> 00:54:11,760 have it? I know we do. So there he is. He's speaking to the 946 00:54:11,820 --> 00:54:16,860 Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and Ambassador Kis Kislyak, who 947 00:54:16,860 --> 00:54:21,600 is the one who's the one he's the guy who Michael Flynn got 948 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,320 fired them for talking to him about possibly talking about 949 00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:29,310 sanctions. And in the room, there's Trump talking to these 950 00:54:29,310 --> 00:54:32,850 Russians. And guess whose end of the Russian presses they're 951 00:54:32,850 --> 00:54:36,120 covering and guess who's missing from that role? The American 952 00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:41,700 press is not allowed from the room. Okay. So all I'm saying in 953 00:54:41,700 --> 00:54:45,180 this lengthy speech, which I hate to give, is that this is 954 00:54:45,510 --> 00:54:50,640 this is treason. To me. This is unAmerican unpatriotic, America. 955 00:54:50,910 --> 00:54:54,930 I mean, the Russian Foreign Minister and the ambassador in 956 00:54:54,930 --> 00:54:58,620 the Oval Office is treasonous. John, don't you understand says 957 00:54:58,950 --> 00:55:02,190 treason to me. This is unAmerican unpatriotic. 958 00:55:04,830 --> 00:55:10,830 Furious. And my feelings 959 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,170 hurt your feelings. 960 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,660 Yeah, because she's depressed. She's American press. She feels 961 00:55:15,660 --> 00:55:18,660 that her feelings have been hurt, because the American were 962 00:55:18,660 --> 00:55:21,240 actually two photographers they were allowed in one was Russian 963 00:55:21,270 --> 00:55:24,120 and they never said who the other one was. Ah, interesting. 964 00:55:24,780 --> 00:55:27,480 I didn't know this. So it was a cool photographer. Maybe? 965 00:55:27,720 --> 00:55:31,350 Yeah, maybe the Russian guy was on. I'll tell you a little 966 00:55:31,350 --> 00:55:34,440 background. The Russian guy was on RT and he was responding to 967 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,740 the fact that somebody said he came into a plant a bug. He says 968 00:55:37,740 --> 00:55:41,700 anyone that's even discussing this sort of thing, has never 969 00:55:41,700 --> 00:55:45,210 been into this oval office in the circumstances. He says where 970 00:55:45,210 --> 00:55:47,310 they do everything but strip search, you gotta go. 971 00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,660 Well, this did come up, John, I have a multipart short clip 972 00:55:51,660 --> 00:55:58,530 series. From Bill Maher show. And he had Adam Schiff on the 973 00:55:58,530 --> 00:56:00,720 only reason why I watched is because he had Congressman 974 00:56:00,720 --> 00:56:03,810 Schiff on Congressman Schiff, he's the Ground Zero guy who 975 00:56:03,810 --> 00:56:07,290 also be the fall guy. We know this. But he's the Ground Zero 976 00:56:07,290 --> 00:56:09,840 guy. He is the head of the Intelligence Committee. I think 977 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:10,860 it's Intelligence Committee. 978 00:56:11,190 --> 00:56:14,910 He is the he's not the head. He's the second guy. As the 979 00:56:14,910 --> 00:56:17,850 ranking member, as the ranking member of the House 980 00:56:17,850 --> 00:56:18,360 Intelligence, 981 00:56:18,390 --> 00:56:22,140 I've always wanted to ask what the hell is the ranking member? 982 00:56:22,170 --> 00:56:24,150 What does that mean? You're the you're the highest guy in the 983 00:56:24,150 --> 00:56:24,630 room. 984 00:56:25,050 --> 00:56:33,210 You're the ranking member. It means he's the he is the end, he 985 00:56:33,210 --> 00:56:37,830 has to probably pay more. He is highest seniority member of the 986 00:56:37,830 --> 00:56:40,530 opposite opposition party. Okay, 987 00:56:40,830 --> 00:56:44,010 got it. Well, he was on that's why I thought it was important 988 00:56:44,010 --> 00:56:47,940 to clip some things because he was very calm. Maher was on 989 00:56:47,940 --> 00:56:51,150 hinge, of course, but we understand why. And Maher is 990 00:56:51,150 --> 00:56:53,340 recognizing what we've seen for months. 991 00:56:53,370 --> 00:56:56,790 So you know, I sometimes watch the other channels to see what 992 00:56:56,790 --> 00:56:59,430 they're saying, because we do live in two different universes. 993 00:56:59,460 --> 00:57:03,900 And when I see MSNBC or CNN, it's a lot about what you're 994 00:57:03,900 --> 00:57:08,820 saying. On Fox News. the talking point, as always, let's just 995 00:57:08,820 --> 00:57:12,600 wrap this up. Because after all this time, there's no there 996 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:16,530 there. What do you say to the no, there? There are people is 997 00:57:16,530 --> 00:57:18,630 there there there? If there 998 00:57:18,630 --> 00:57:21,720 was no there there, James Comey would still have a job. 999 00:57:22,140 --> 00:57:28,890 So to two birds with one stone. Not only have we been seeing the 1000 00:57:28,890 --> 00:57:32,070 split universe, but the term there There has just went out of 1001 00:57:32,070 --> 00:57:35,520 control that just went off the rails. The use of it, how many 1002 00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:39,570 there's were there there? Too many. And it's a racist term, 1003 00:57:40,290 --> 00:57:45,810 because it's about Oakland, California. Three racial. And 1004 00:57:45,810 --> 00:57:48,660 now let's talk about the so called threat. In a bizarre 1005 00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:53,190 series of weeks, it seemed like this week was stranger than even 1006 00:57:53,190 --> 00:57:56,340 the ones that came before because it did seem to me like 1007 00:57:56,340 --> 00:58:01,200 he may have admitted to committing a crime. He said that 1008 00:58:01,230 --> 00:58:04,890 he they almost said word for word that he fired Comey, 1009 00:58:04,890 --> 00:58:08,370 because the Russia thing in his opinion isn't real. That seems 1010 00:58:08,370 --> 00:58:11,790 like obstruction of justice. He also was asked, Did you ask 1011 00:58:11,790 --> 00:58:15,600 Comey for his loyalty? And he said, No, I didn't. But that's a 1012 00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:19,110 great idea. Which also was illegal, correct. 1013 00:58:19,140 --> 00:58:24,210 It is staggering. Plainly what he did, if you can believe him, 1014 00:58:24,630 --> 00:58:29,160 was at a minimum, unethical, improper, etc. Whether it's 1015 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,250 illegal also depends on whether you think he's telling the 1016 00:58:32,250 --> 00:58:36,690 truth. Ironically, the most incriminating things are if you 1017 00:58:36,690 --> 00:58:40,020 believe him, but of course, when it comes to Russia, you really 1018 00:58:40,020 --> 00:58:43,260 can't believe what this President is saying. And here he 1019 00:58:43,260 --> 00:58:46,560 is compounding that by saying, you know, Director Comey better 1020 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:50,310 look out because I may have tapes. So is it worse if he's 1021 00:58:50,310 --> 00:58:53,160 telling the truth? And now was said guilty of what he accused 1022 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:57,870 his predecessor of wiretapping people in the White House? Or is 1023 00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,570 it worse that the President knighted states will just willy 1024 00:59:00,570 --> 00:59:04,080 nilly tell the American people the things that are patently 1025 00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:04,590 untrue? 1026 00:59:05,340 --> 00:59:08,430 So it's not true what he just said, the President did not say 1027 00:59:08,430 --> 00:59:13,170 I have tapes. He didn't say that. And this is what happens. 1028 00:59:13,170 --> 00:59:16,080 You concoct this thing and then you keep saying that and before 1029 00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:19,920 you know it, then you know Russia attack Georgia. You can 1030 00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:23,040 never get back from that. Never get back from it. You just 1031 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,830 mentioned how tough it is to bring you know, anything even 1032 00:59:25,830 --> 00:59:30,090 close into the Oval Office? Not so according to Mr. Schiff. And 1033 00:59:30,090 --> 00:59:30,690 Mr. Maher. 1034 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,570 Well, how about having the Russians into the Oval Office? I 1035 00:59:33,570 --> 00:59:37,290 mean, Kiselyov is their spy master in this country? He's got 1036 00:59:37,290 --> 00:59:40,080 that Android phone. Not the first one to say this. The 1037 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,540 security people are saying that he's still using the Android 1038 00:59:42,540 --> 00:59:42,840 phone 1039 00:59:42,870 --> 00:59:46,950 now. Did you hear about this? No. Apparently the security 1040 00:59:46,950 --> 00:59:52,740 people. Those guys, they're saying, Oh, he has an Android 1041 00:59:52,740 --> 00:59:57,480 phone. So this can be completely I guess the implication is nice 1042 00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:03,900 going I want I might say, Nice. Go One for Android. Yeah, it's a 1043 01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:08,220 free plug. Yeah. Well, not a great plug. How about no shame? 1044 01:00:08,610 --> 01:00:12,090 It's full of holes. We know everyone can. We can hack it. 1045 01:00:12,990 --> 01:00:14,490 Yeah, this is adequate. 1046 01:00:14,490 --> 01:00:17,730 And why would this go over this? Let's go over the logic of this 1047 01:00:17,730 --> 01:00:20,550 again, from a marketing perspective. Yeah, the Russians 1048 01:00:20,550 --> 01:00:22,890 are pretty smart about all this because they've hacked the 1049 01:00:22,890 --> 01:00:25,500 elections are hacking us, and they're doing everything they 1050 01:00:25,500 --> 01:00:28,800 can to destroy our democracy. And they're using an Android 1051 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,820 phone. Those Russians are smart. I think I'll get an Android 1052 01:00:32,820 --> 01:00:34,410 phone too, because I'm smart. 1053 01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:40,770 Huh? Okay. I see your point. I see your point. But this is just 1054 01:00:40,770 --> 01:00:44,850 clearly coming from an apple head. Yeah, that's obvious. You 1055 01:00:44,850 --> 01:00:46,140 would expect it to be any different 1056 01:00:46,170 --> 01:00:49,230 right phone? Let's the first one to say this. The security people 1057 01:00:49,230 --> 01:00:51,840 are saying that he's been using the Android phone after they 1058 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,810 hung her for using the wrong computer a few times to send out 1059 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,270 wedding invitations or whatever the hell was going on there. 1060 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:01,020 They probably already will. They probably already own it. What am 1061 01:01:01,020 --> 01:01:03,600 I talking about? I really matter than 1062 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,810 the category of you can't make this up, which is the category 1063 01:01:06,810 --> 01:01:11,760 we live in now. Right? You have photographs of Kislyak and love 1064 01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,550 Rob with the President not because our own press is allowed 1065 01:01:14,550 --> 01:01:18,390 in. But because the Russians take the pictures and the 1066 01:01:18,390 --> 01:01:18,780 Russians 1067 01:01:19,410 --> 01:01:23,790 make this sale. You're either with us or with the Russians. 1068 01:01:23,910 --> 01:01:27,870 Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah. Yeah. made fun of that for 1069 01:01:27,870 --> 01:01:28,590 decade. 1070 01:01:29,069 --> 01:01:33,119 Yeah, made fun of me with George Bush said it's not that he said 1071 01:01:33,119 --> 01:01:35,519 the same similar type of construction. Yeah, you're 1072 01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,280 either with us or with the terrorists. That's what it was 1073 01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,130 right. Now. Of course, Schiff has a pitch. We all know what 1074 01:01:41,130 --> 01:01:43,590 the pitch is. If you're a no agenda producer, you know what 1075 01:01:43,590 --> 01:01:44,220 the pitch is. 1076 01:01:44,220 --> 01:01:47,730 If there was ever a time in our history, where the argument 1077 01:01:47,730 --> 01:01:51,600 there has to be a check on this executive, we need to change the 1078 01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:56,070 Congress. So there is a Democratic House or Senate or 1079 01:01:56,070 --> 01:02:00,960 both, because this president needs a restraint. That argument 1080 01:02:01,230 --> 01:02:02,100 is now 1081 01:02:02,730 --> 01:02:06,720 Oh, you mean vote for you both? Is that what you're talking 1082 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:07,290 about? Vote 1083 01:02:07,290 --> 01:02:11,550 for more Democrat or Democrat? I'm actually stunned. Although I 1084 01:02:11,550 --> 01:02:15,090 could be wrong. Maybe this does happen. Because I know the two 1085 01:02:15,090 --> 01:02:19,350 pitches are the one you just outlined, which is all this is 1086 01:02:19,350 --> 01:02:21,840 because the Republicans have the House and Senate otherwise we 1087 01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:26,280 wouldn't have this insane president. Once a vote Democrat 1088 01:02:26,310 --> 01:02:29,610 especially in the in the midterms. And we can get the 1089 01:02:29,610 --> 01:02:33,330 house back and maybe the Senate both and that's one pitch the 1090 01:02:33,330 --> 01:02:35,460 other pitches we need a special prosecutor. 1091 01:02:36,180 --> 01:02:40,290 Oh, yeah, no, this comes up of course, of course. This is the 1092 01:02:40,290 --> 01:02:44,880 last clip is pitch part two. Schiff shift is of course, I'm 1093 01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:48,000 saying of course a lot. Dammit. I want to start Yeah, catching 1094 01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:48,690 myself now. 1095 01:02:48,750 --> 01:02:50,550 I'm not still not catching it. Yeah. 1096 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,900 I caught it. Now it's getting really bad now. Deep breath. 1097 01:02:55,350 --> 01:03:00,840 Wait, my iPhone is telling me to breathe my watch. Okay. He is 1098 01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:05,970 the ranking member of the the committee. And he would know 1099 01:03:05,970 --> 01:03:09,960 kind of what's going on? You'd think. So Bill Maher asks him 1100 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:11,160 for a little update. 1101 01:03:11,370 --> 01:03:14,970 So I know back in March, you said that the case with the 1102 01:03:14,970 --> 01:03:19,350 Russia collusion is more than circumstantial. Can you tell us 1103 01:03:19,350 --> 01:03:22,500 anything more? And if you can't tell us that? Can you tell us 1104 01:03:22,500 --> 01:03:27,720 like when you picture Donald Trump and say two years? What is 1105 01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:35,310 he wearing? Orange 1106 01:03:38,340 --> 01:03:40,830 I'm already trying to get the image of him in a bathrobe out 1107 01:03:40,830 --> 01:03:46,050 of my head, right. I don't know honestly, where the 1108 01:03:46,050 --> 01:03:50,520 investigation will end up. It's too early to say it's a it's a 1109 01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:54,780 mammoth undertaking, because it's global. And reach involves 1110 01:03:54,780 --> 01:03:57,090 a lot of witnesses who may or may not want to cooperate with 1111 01:03:57,090 --> 01:04:01,920 us. We're working with a very small staff. It's one of the 1112 01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,410 reasons why it's so important that we oversee the FBI 1113 01:04:04,410 --> 01:04:07,650 investigation and not let that go or be impeded in any way. 1114 01:04:07,950 --> 01:04:11,100 They have the scope, they have the resources, they have 1000s 1115 01:04:11,100 --> 01:04:14,640 of agents all across the globe. There are things they can do and 1116 01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:18,210 must do that we can't. So part of our responsibility is doing 1117 01:04:18,210 --> 01:04:21,840 our own investigation and we are trying part of our obligations 1118 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,990 to make sure the FBI does the job they need to do see 1119 01:04:25,020 --> 01:04:27,930 little twist on it, though he didn't necessarily call for the 1120 01:04:27,930 --> 01:04:32,070 independent investigation. But he did plant the seed of we 1121 01:04:32,070 --> 01:04:34,620 don't have the resources. We really can't do this. 1122 01:04:35,549 --> 01:04:39,389 Oh, I always get irked when you bring up the fact that the FBI 1123 01:04:39,389 --> 01:04:43,259 has the resource and they have hundreds of Agents around the 1124 01:04:43,259 --> 01:04:46,529 world. I thought the CIA was supposed to be doing that work. 1125 01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:50,670 Yeah, but still FBI. They do. They do that. It's all of 1126 01:04:50,670 --> 01:04:55,860 course, naturally. Damnit. I keep saying it. 1127 01:04:58,980 --> 01:05:03,720 From you, so Have it now. In the two hour mark. Yeah, 1128 01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:07,800 I'll be able to fix this. I think we had the testimony of 1129 01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:11,010 Sally Yates, Sally Yates was the act, the attacking the 1130 01:05:11,010 --> 01:05:16,410 attacking, attacking Attorney General, the temporary acting 1131 01:05:16,620 --> 01:05:20,760 Attorney General during the transition. And as we discussed 1132 01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:27,450 on the previous episode of this show, the reason why she left or 1133 01:05:27,450 --> 01:05:30,270 was fired or whatever happened is because she didn't want to 1134 01:05:30,270 --> 01:05:34,110 implement the travel ban. And this had nothing to do with 1135 01:05:34,110 --> 01:05:37,590 Russia had nothing to do with Comey. Although now in testimony 1136 01:05:37,590 --> 01:05:41,700 she said, Oh, well, I warned reporting to the President. You 1137 01:05:41,700 --> 01:05:44,910 don't dead on it. Don't hire that guy. He's no good. So I 1138 01:05:44,910 --> 01:05:48,120 want I wanted to go back and hear what she said. And not many 1139 01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:52,830 people picked up on this a few words matter phrase from the 1140 01:05:52,830 --> 01:05:55,380 chaise that kind of stuff. Listen to her part of her 1141 01:05:55,380 --> 01:05:57,060 opening statement here. In your testimony 1142 01:05:57,090 --> 01:06:00,630 as the intelligence community assessed in his January of 2017 1143 01:06:00,630 --> 01:06:04,560 report, Russia will continue to develop capabilities to use 1144 01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:07,950 against the United States, and we need to be ready to meet 1145 01:06:07,950 --> 01:06:11,400 those threats. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to 1146 01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,940 take part in today's discussion. Now, I want to note that in my 1147 01:06:14,940 --> 01:06:18,720 answers today, I intend to be as fulsome and as comprehensive, 1148 01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:23,340 comprehensive as possible, while respecting my legal and ethical 1149 01:06:23,340 --> 01:06:24,090 boundaries. 1150 01:06:24,270 --> 01:06:28,170 So this is a new word that popped in all of a sudden, and 1151 01:06:28,170 --> 01:06:31,740 I'm seeing it in other places, and there's some dispute as to 1152 01:06:31,740 --> 01:06:36,750 what the meaning is of the word fulsome as I had not heard this 1153 01:06:36,750 --> 01:06:39,240 before, and I'm always paying attention to words, witness my 1154 01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:44,670 trying to stop the use of of course, her testimony is it is 1155 01:06:44,670 --> 01:06:47,640 essential that ongoing investigations are fulsome and 1156 01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:51,540 free of political interference until their completion. What do 1157 01:06:51,540 --> 01:06:52,980 you understand the word fulsome? 1158 01:06:53,009 --> 01:06:59,519 Well, you This was what you call being blind sighted. never 1159 01:06:59,519 --> 01:07:02,999 noticed this? I didn't hear it when she said it. I heard it, 1160 01:07:02,999 --> 01:07:07,889 but I didn't think about it. And I'm completely befuddled by 1161 01:07:07,889 --> 01:07:10,019 this, if it's especially if there's something to it. Well, 1162 01:07:10,019 --> 01:07:10,109 there 1163 01:07:10,110 --> 01:07:13,800 was some tweet wars going on between Brian Garner, who was 1164 01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:18,900 the editor of Garner's modern English usage, who responded to 1165 01:07:18,900 --> 01:07:22,050 the use of this word on to on the tweeters with Oh dear. 1166 01:07:22,650 --> 01:07:26,730 In less unless she's referring to the potential prison sentence 1167 01:07:26,730 --> 01:07:28,110 in Folsom Prison. 1168 01:07:28,500 --> 01:07:32,040 The Folsom Prison Blues is what came up in my mind. Same thing. 1169 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:37,920 According to the editor of Garner's modern English usage, 1170 01:07:38,490 --> 01:07:42,060 he says the word false fulsome should only be used in its 1171 01:07:42,060 --> 01:07:46,620 traditional disparaging sense, meaning excessively lavish or 1172 01:07:46,650 --> 01:07:51,900 offensive to good taste. Thus, fulsome praise should be 1173 01:07:51,900 --> 01:07:55,050 understood as praise that is insincerely flattering rather 1174 01:07:55,050 --> 01:07:56,400 than simply abundant. 1175 01:07:56,430 --> 01:07:59,280 Well, let's go with now I have to hear it in context again from 1176 01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:00,030 her, okay. 1177 01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:03,270 I mean, I could be off base on this, but 1178 01:08:03,870 --> 01:08:07,350 ah, definition now. Okay, here we go. 1179 01:08:08,610 --> 01:08:12,720 It's, and we need to be ready to meet those threats. I sincerely 1180 01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:16,110 appreciate the opportunity to take part in today's discussion. 1181 01:08:16,260 --> 01:08:19,920 Now, I want to note that in my answers today, I intend to be as 1182 01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:24,210 fulsome and as comprehensive, comprehensive as possible, while 1183 01:08:24,210 --> 01:08:27,180 respecting my legal and ethical boundaries. 1184 01:08:28,350 --> 01:08:33,450 Okay, so what she says, fulsome, I'm just reading it Yeah. Agia 1185 01:08:33,450 --> 01:08:37,080 it's an adjective. Okay, well, she's using it as a you cannot 1186 01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:40,590 see a noun. Yeah. Well, okay. Well, let's just read Folsom, 1187 01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:44,970 the adjective offensive to good taste, tactless. So she's going 1188 01:08:44,970 --> 01:08:48,210 to be tactless overzealous, she's going to be overzealous, 1189 01:08:48,210 --> 01:08:51,450 she's going to get to the point with until she gets the ethical 1190 01:08:51,450 --> 01:08:55,140 boundary. So which now, context this does make sense, because 1191 01:08:55,140 --> 01:08:59,370 she she qualifies it by saying until ethical boundaries are 1192 01:08:59,370 --> 01:09:02,730 met. Yeah. So in other words, she's going to be overzealous 1193 01:09:02,730 --> 01:09:06,450 and excessive until she reaches the boundaries where it's going 1194 01:09:06,450 --> 01:09:10,410 to be borderline illegal. What she's saying, concocting 1195 01:09:10,410 --> 01:09:14,370 insincerity marked by fullness of abundance copious, the full 1196 01:09:14,370 --> 01:09:18,660 sun thanks for the war torn nations lifted our weary spirits 1197 01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:23,400 fully developed, mature, but it just may be what she's trying. 1198 01:09:23,430 --> 01:09:28,140 Maybe this is it. Or fulsome timber resonated throughout the 1199 01:09:28,140 --> 01:09:32,490 hall. In other words, it was mature. Common usage tends to be 1200 01:09:32,490 --> 01:09:35,640 toward the negative connotation and using Folsom in the sense of 1201 01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:40,020 abundant copious or mature may lead to confusion without 1202 01:09:40,170 --> 01:09:47,310 contextual prompts. Synonyms gross, profuse, effusive, 1203 01:09:47,430 --> 01:09:48,300 anxious, 1204 01:09:49,140 --> 01:09:53,640 Mr. Gartner calls the loose usage of Folsom has been on the 1205 01:09:53,670 --> 01:09:56,700 increase in recent decades. It is in fact something of a 1206 01:09:56,700 --> 01:10:00,810 revival of the words original meaning when full first entered 1207 01:10:00,810 --> 01:10:04,140 the language in the 13th century had meant copious plentiful 1208 01:10:04,530 --> 01:10:07,800 etymologically linked to the word full, but that positive 1209 01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:11,760 meaning underwent a peculiar historical transformation. But 1210 01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:15,900 this I love this Yes, by around 1500 fulsome could mean 1211 01:10:16,440 --> 01:10:21,090 corpulent, obnoxious or tedious. A century later, it continued 1212 01:10:21,090 --> 01:10:23,850 his downward descent into sickening or excessively 1213 01:10:23,850 --> 01:10:27,900 effusive. And that and there things stood until the meaning 1214 01:10:27,900 --> 01:10:31,380 started moving back to neutral or positive senses in the 20th 1215 01:10:31,380 --> 01:10:35,370 century, no doubt influenced by the resemblance of fulsome to 1216 01:10:35,370 --> 01:10:40,230 full linguists call a positive to negative semantic shift, but 1217 01:10:40,410 --> 01:10:42,090 put your pet duration 1218 01:10:44,310 --> 01:10:48,990 majority of bass words, pejorative whatever it 1219 01:10:48,990 --> 01:10:54,180 says pej o r a t IO N proportion pejorative, it's a shit Word, 1220 01:10:54,480 --> 01:10:59,940 and the reverse process is called Melly ERATION mo while 1221 01:10:59,940 --> 01:11:02,790 many words have undergone such radical shifts, such as nice use 1222 01:11:02,790 --> 01:11:06,300 to men stupid or timid for instance, Folsom is remarkable 1223 01:11:06,300 --> 01:11:09,720 for its full pendulum swing from positive to negative and back 1224 01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:14,370 again. Secretary Tillerson described in a recent phone call 1225 01:11:14,580 --> 01:11:17,700 between Mr. Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin is very 1226 01:11:17,700 --> 01:11:22,740 fulsome. Well, it's a it's a great word to use, because it 1227 01:11:22,740 --> 01:11:25,110 can mean anything and it can mean whatever you 1228 01:11:25,110 --> 01:11:28,680 want. Use this word what you're saying. Well, it's 1229 01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:34,050 being used and I had not heard it in testimony before. And you 1230 01:11:34,050 --> 01:11:36,720 have to question what they really meant with that. What 1231 01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:37,500 Sally Yates Yeah, 1232 01:11:37,500 --> 01:11:39,750 it's, it's vague, very vague. 1233 01:11:41,820 --> 01:11:47,250 Anyway, it matters not because the CBS crew was very fulsome 1234 01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:49,170 about the ice cream gates. 1235 01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,020 Time Magazine staffers had dinner with the president at the 1236 01:11:52,020 --> 01:11:54,810 White House this week and reveals what they learned in a 1237 01:11:54,810 --> 01:11:58,350 cover story called Donald Trump after hours, the President gave 1238 01:11:58,350 --> 01:12:01,500 them a tour highlighting a big new TV setup in the dining room 1239 01:12:01,500 --> 01:12:04,590 near the Oval Office. He calls TiVo one of the greatest 1240 01:12:04,590 --> 01:12:08,070 inventions of all time, TiVo is good. He uses it to watch a 1241 01:12:08,070 --> 01:12:09,810 variety of news coverage 1242 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,660 now at the dinner time says waiters brought the President a 1243 01:12:12,660 --> 01:12:15,990 Diet Coke while the others got water.

It's 1425 01:24:41,700 --> 01:24:46,170 actually kind of uplifting story in a funny kind of odd way. So 1426 01:24:46,170 --> 01:24:49,470 for the poor guy got shot down another black guy got shot, but 1427 01:24:49,470 --> 01:24:52,950 it was not just a normal situation. This is the West 1428 01:24:52,950 --> 01:24:56,970 Virginia non shooting cop. And do you have to listen to this? 1429 01:24:56,970 --> 01:24:58,560 It's unbelievable. The story 1430 01:24:58,590 --> 01:25:02,190 of former US police off So who was sacked after refusing to 1431 01:25:02,190 --> 01:25:05,940 shoot an armed suspect is now suing his former employer. 1432 01:25:06,300 --> 01:25:09,390 Stephen maida from West Virginia says his old department wanted 1433 01:25:09,390 --> 01:25:12,510 to, quote, destroy his reputation. Here's how he 1434 01:25:12,510 --> 01:25:15,090 describes the incident that led to his dismissal. 1435 01:25:15,900 --> 01:25:20,580 I see a black man standing outside of his car. And I tell 1436 01:25:20,580 --> 01:25:22,320 him, I said, Well, we got to call it about a domestic out 1437 01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:24,900 here. You want to tell me what's going on? He says, No, man, I 1438 01:25:24,900 --> 01:25:27,960 don't want to talk to you. There's nothing going on. You 1439 01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,720 leave hasn't run in the trunk of his car. I see. He's got his 1440 01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:34,650 hands behind his back. So I asked him to show me your hands. 1441 01:25:35,340 --> 01:25:37,560 And he's backed away from me. And he says, Nah, man, I can't 1442 01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:42,720 do that. And I see a silver pistol in his right hand. And so 1443 01:25:43,290 --> 01:25:47,550 I dropped my weapon and told him to drop the gun, drop the gun. 1444 01:25:47,550 --> 01:25:50,520 He says, Mommy, I don't want to do that. Just shoot me. My mind. 1445 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:54,120 I'm thinking, why is this happening this way. And then 1446 01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:56,760 once he says, just shoot me, it's kind of like a click in 1447 01:25:56,760 --> 01:26:01,350 your head like being suicidal. It was a matter of seconds 1448 01:26:01,350 --> 01:26:05,010 between me initially contacting, you know, coming into contact 1449 01:26:05,010 --> 01:26:08,610 with him to when the other officers had arrived, the police 1450 01:26:08,610 --> 01:26:11,310 officers get out of their vehicles and weapons. And 1451 01:26:11,310 --> 01:26:13,410 they're yelling, put, get put down the gun, put down the gun, 1452 01:26:13,410 --> 01:26:19,110 and then within seconds as he's waving the weapon. During the 1453 01:26:19,110 --> 01:26:22,950 gun, firing force shots, and the last one hit the hit the man in 1454 01:26:22,950 --> 01:26:26,190 the head and someone calls the police at their worst. You don't 1455 01:26:26,190 --> 01:26:28,200 want to go in there giving them the mindset that the police 1456 01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:30,540 aren't here to help. You want to give him the mindset that 1457 01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:33,360 they're there to solve the problem to help you. 1458 01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:37,980 And while Mehta was reluctant to shoot one of his colleagues did, 1459 01:26:38,340 --> 01:26:41,850 ultimately killing the 23 year old male suspect. Later it 1460 01:26:41,850 --> 01:26:45,180 emerged the man's gun was not loaded. After that incident, the 1461 01:26:45,180 --> 01:26:47,760 local police department filed the case against mater for 1462 01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:52,080 failing to act and for placing others in danger. Other 1463 01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:54,840 departments said meters was fired for not meeting its 1464 01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:58,020 standards and struggling to think clearly during a critical 1465 01:26:58,020 --> 01:27:01,560 incident. meters had previously served in the Marine Corps for 1466 01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:05,190 four years, including time in Afghanistan. And we spoke to one 1467 01:27:05,190 --> 01:27:06,510 of the attorneys in the case. 1468 01:27:07,620 --> 01:27:10,680 Anybody who looks at the facts of this case, anybody who 1469 01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,410 considers what public policy in the state of West Virginia and 1470 01:27:13,410 --> 01:27:16,200 across the country should be is going to look at this and say 1471 01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:19,770 there's absolutely no way that the public policy of the state 1472 01:27:19,770 --> 01:27:24,090 of West Virginia can be that a police force can fire an officer 1473 01:27:24,540 --> 01:27:27,480 for not killing. What message does it send to a police 1474 01:27:27,480 --> 01:27:31,440 officers across the country? I think the message is shoot to 1475 01:27:31,440 --> 01:27:36,690 kill if you have any opportunity to do so. What's amazing in this 1476 01:27:36,690 --> 01:27:41,850 situation is Officer made or had made a reasonable and a an 1477 01:27:41,850 --> 01:27:44,880 objectively correct determination that RJ Williams 1478 01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:48,810 was not a threat to anybody else. Once a police officer 1479 01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:52,410 makes that determination under the United States Constitution. 1480 01:27:52,530 --> 01:27:55,710 They're not allowed to shoot a target when the weird Police 1481 01:27:55,710 --> 01:27:58,080 Department fired him for not shooting and killing RJ 1482 01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:01,830 Williams, the weird Police Department essentially fired 1483 01:28:01,830 --> 01:28:05,790 officer mater for honoring RJ Williams constitutional right 1484 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:06,930 not to be shot. 1485 01:28:07,530 --> 01:28:10,980 Wow, I had not heard about this at all. And I've been fortunate. 1486 01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:15,420 And I see our teens really stopped with the Hokey music 1487 01:28:15,480 --> 01:28:21,510 that they that's bad. Here's the thing about this story. Of 1488 01:28:21,510 --> 01:28:23,910 course, it was also pointed, it goes on a little bit longer and 1489 01:28:23,910 --> 01:28:27,180 points out that this would be the first guy cop fired for not 1490 01:28:27,180 --> 01:28:32,700 killing. kill somebody. So he gets fired. Yeah. This is a 1491 01:28:32,790 --> 01:28:36,090 story that violates the narrative of the mainstream 1492 01:28:36,090 --> 01:28:36,450 media. 1493 01:28:36,480 --> 01:28:39,870 Oh, that's why of course. That's why we're not going to talk 1494 01:28:39,870 --> 01:28:40,260 about it. 1495 01:28:40,740 --> 01:28:44,040 Nobody met. It's a great story. If you're the story editor in 1496 01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:47,250 one of these news operations, you'd want to do this story. So 1497 01:28:47,250 --> 01:28:51,630 good story. But no, they don't do the story at all, because 1498 01:28:51,630 --> 01:28:54,570 it's not within whatever it is. They're trying to sell the 1499 01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:57,990 American public, right. It's a shame and it's a crime. It's 1500 01:28:57,990 --> 01:28:59,340 ridiculous. Yes. 1501 01:28:59,730 --> 01:29:01,890 Did you have an opportunity to watch the Adam Curtis 1502 01:29:01,890 --> 01:29:06,870 documentary we're talking about yet? Not yet. Okay, well, I may 1503 01:29:06,870 --> 01:29:09,780 have actually seen them. Well, you might you might have but um, 1504 01:29:09,780 --> 01:29:12,000 and it's just I know a lot of people watched it. It's just so 1505 01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:16,560 good. So good. Yeah, that's a great story and a very good 1506 01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:22,650 find. It really shows it really shows how media works. It's not 1507 01:29:22,650 --> 01:29:25,950 interesting to them. And that's not because it's not interesting 1508 01:29:25,980 --> 01:29:29,070 from a financial perspective, because I'm sure that people 1509 01:29:29,070 --> 01:29:30,030 would watch that story. 1510 01:29:30,420 --> 01:29:35,040 I think it might be interesting, but it to me, it violates their 1511 01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:38,040 narrative. No, no, we can't do that right now. That's 1512 01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:40,650 my point. It's it's a violation of their narrative. So even 1513 01:29:40,650 --> 01:29:43,080 though it's a juicy news story, they're not picking it up 1514 01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:46,590 because it doesn't fit with my you call it a narrative. How 1515 01:29:46,590 --> 01:29:50,700 about their orders? At this point, you got to think it's 1516 01:29:50,730 --> 01:29:55,350 almost orders. No, yeah, we're not going to do that. Now I have 1517 01:29:55,350 --> 01:29:59,160 been saying, based on intelligence reports, we have a 1518 01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:03,150 number of Military Intelligence producers amongst us that there 1519 01:30:03,150 --> 01:30:08,160 is a huge buildup of troops building up, you know, getting 1520 01:30:08,370 --> 01:30:14,280 positioned the normal places such as Kuwait City, and one of 1521 01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:16,890 my contacts reached out to me again, he said, I've never seen 1522 01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:20,580 this. I said, it's um, it's incredible eighth hole, the 1523 01:30:20,580 --> 01:30:24,270 82nd. Everything is pulling eyes getting ready. And the target is 1524 01:30:24,300 --> 01:30:28,410 a fg. So that's Afghanistan. We're doing to do something big 1525 01:30:28,410 --> 01:30:31,530 in Afghanistan. And I'm surprised that this is not being 1526 01:30:31,530 --> 01:30:35,760 mentioned, or at least I'm not seeing it in headlines. You I 1527 01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:39,180 mean, this is something big is going down. And this is just, 1528 01:30:39,210 --> 01:30:42,210 you know, there's not like some spy that I know. It's like, 1529 01:30:42,210 --> 01:30:44,340 Whoa, look, I see open everyone's seeing this in these 1530 01:30:44,340 --> 01:30:46,650 countries that journalists must be seeing this there are 1531 01:30:46,650 --> 01:30:52,800 journalists who are embedded. This must be seen. And based on 1532 01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:56,940 our previous conversation about CIA and potential drug running, 1533 01:30:56,940 --> 01:30:59,610 what their what their problems may be. This report became 1534 01:30:59,610 --> 01:31:01,170 interesting from the Hoosier State 1535 01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:04,980 dangerous new drug is so powerful, it can kill people who 1536 01:31:04,980 --> 01:31:09,720 are simply too close to it. Now so called Grey Death has arrived 1537 01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:13,710 in Indiana. It is a mix of heroin, fentanyl car, fentanyl 1538 01:31:13,710 --> 01:31:17,250 and other synthetic opioids. Officials say it doesn't just 1539 01:31:17,250 --> 01:31:21,150 kill users, it's dangerous for first responders arriving at 1540 01:31:21,150 --> 01:31:25,500 scenes contaminated by the drug. The drug can be absorbed through 1541 01:31:25,500 --> 01:31:29,430 the skin or accidentally inhaled through the air. First 1542 01:31:29,430 --> 01:31:32,820 responders are urged to work gloves and masks to cover as 1543 01:31:32,820 --> 01:31:36,510 much skin as possible and try and not touch any potential drug 1544 01:31:36,510 --> 01:31:39,240 materials or paraphernalia at the scene. 1545 01:31:39,660 --> 01:31:44,070 I don't know much about the drug business well, I know some from 1546 01:31:44,070 --> 01:31:48,000 one particular aspect but maybe we need to go get another heart 1547 01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:50,700 risk because people are going to start dying with this synthetic 1548 01:31:50,700 --> 01:31:52,560 crap we need the real deal now. 1549 01:31:54,060 --> 01:31:58,050 Well, I did a little work on this story based on the PBS 1550 01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:02,460 rundown of the of what sessions did which I think was yeah the 1551 01:32:02,460 --> 01:32:06,510 war on the war on crime but this is we can do the war on crime 1552 01:32:06,510 --> 01:32:08,790 bit then I can discuss fentanyl, which is what they're talking 1553 01:32:08,790 --> 01:32:11,430 about. Because I did a little research I didn't think much 1554 01:32:11,430 --> 01:32:14,610 about it before it's been around forever fenders fan, it's it's 1555 01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:18,330 what's a car fentanyl? That's not something new. 1556 01:32:18,630 --> 01:32:21,210 It's part of it's one of them. It's all just they're all 1557 01:32:21,210 --> 01:32:23,610 variants of this fender Fenton. You like this, 1558 01:32:23,610 --> 01:32:25,170 you'd like to chemistry stuff, dontcha? 1559 01:32:25,890 --> 01:32:31,410 Yeah. Good. Yeah. So this I never really bothered looking 1560 01:32:31,410 --> 01:32:35,370 into it. Because I remember it was like I remember 10 years 1561 01:32:35,370 --> 01:32:38,640 ago, when there were people moaning and groaning about spam 1562 01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:41,310 before good filters started showing up. And there were these 1563 01:32:41,310 --> 01:32:44,430 people saying Fen Fen Phen Fen get some fin fin knew that this 1564 01:32:44,430 --> 01:32:47,130 was being sold over the internet by mail. Oh, I 1565 01:32:47,130 --> 01:32:50,700 don't remember that. Yeah, fan fans. Sure. Ben fan. 1566 01:32:50,700 --> 01:32:53,670 And this was over. This is a decade ago, just before we 1567 01:32:53,670 --> 01:32:56,880 started doing our show this stuff was floating around. Yes. 1568 01:32:57,660 --> 01:33:01,110 And it's there's a very good article in the wiki page on 1569 01:33:01,110 --> 01:33:04,500 fentanyl, which is you can read but let's start listening to 1570 01:33:04,950 --> 01:33:08,160 this real I have a real problem with this particular report that 1571 01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:13,980 was on PBS. And so much so that I divided it up into six short 1572 01:33:13,980 --> 01:33:18,750 segments. Okay. And we're going to start with this. PBS tough on 1573 01:33:18,750 --> 01:33:23,040 crime part one and in between, I'm sorry, between each segment 1574 01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:24,060 I will bid you about some 1575 01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:27,540 very good President Trump has long put law and order at the 1576 01:33:27,540 --> 01:33:27,840 top. 1577 01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:30,180 I love it. When you do this. I want to point out that you come 1578 01:33:30,180 --> 01:33:34,110 with a multipolar and How coincidental. I had no idea that 1579 01:33:34,110 --> 01:33:36,630 you had this, but I'm just coming up with this stuff. I 1580 01:33:36,630 --> 01:33:37,200 love us. 1581 01:33:37,350 --> 01:33:40,860 President Trump has long put law and order at the top of his 1582 01:33:40,860 --> 01:33:44,430 White House agenda. But today's move to seek tougher prison 1583 01:33:44,430 --> 01:33:48,420 sentencing policies March the biggest effort yet to dismantle 1584 01:33:48,510 --> 01:33:52,050 his predecessors criminal justice reform legacy. Already 1585 01:33:52,050 --> 01:33:53,490 Sreenivasan has this story. 1586 01:33:54,480 --> 01:33:59,670 I have empowered our prosecutors to charge and pursue the most 1587 01:33:59,670 --> 01:34:04,590 serious offense as I believe the law requires the most serious 1588 01:34:04,590 --> 01:34:08,190 readily provable offense. It means that we're going to meet 1589 01:34:08,190 --> 01:34:12,240 our responsibility to enforce the law with judgment and 1590 01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:12,960 fairness. 1591 01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:16,350 With that US Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered federal 1592 01:34:16,350 --> 01:34:20,010 prosecutors across the country to revive some of the toughest 1593 01:34:20,010 --> 01:34:23,460 practices of the decades old war on drugs. I trust 1594 01:34:23,820 --> 01:34:28,260 our prosecutors in the field to make good judgments. They 1595 01:34:28,260 --> 01:34:32,490 deserve to be on handcuffed and not micromanaged from 1596 01:34:32,490 --> 01:34:37,530 Washington. If you are a drug trafficker, we will not look the 1597 01:34:37,530 --> 01:34:40,860 other way. We will not be willfully blind to your 1598 01:34:40,860 --> 01:34:41,850 misconduct. 1599 01:34:42,210 --> 01:34:45,750 This memo reverses Obama administration policies that aim 1600 01:34:45,750 --> 01:34:49,530 to lessen the federal prison population by not charging low 1601 01:34:49,530 --> 01:34:52,590 level nonviolent drug offenders with long mandatory minimum 1602 01:34:52,590 --> 01:34:53,340 sentences. 1603 01:34:55,350 --> 01:35:00,840 So they're going to I mean, this report is weird. because it has 1604 01:35:01,140 --> 01:35:05,040 session saying they didn't want to unhandcuff people and now 1605 01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:07,950 their words unhandcuff The prosecutors Yeah, and give them 1606 01:35:07,950 --> 01:35:10,950 more leeway to do maximum sentences promote maximum 1607 01:35:10,950 --> 01:35:16,650 sentences more. And then the PVS guy kind of backs it off to make 1608 01:35:16,650 --> 01:35:19,710 it sound as if they're, they're going after everybody. And of 1609 01:35:19,710 --> 01:35:22,080 course, by the way, in this entire report, which goes on for 1610 01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:25,920 quite a while, they never talked about legal as legalization 1611 01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:28,470 issues and things that could maybe improve things or maybe 1612 01:35:28,500 --> 01:35:31,980 marijuana more. A lot of these guys get off these hard drugs 1613 01:35:31,980 --> 01:35:35,190 by, you know, going to soft drugs like marijuana. It's like 1614 01:35:35,190 --> 01:35:38,460 a gateway to like something unless, Sir, there's totally 1615 01:35:38,460 --> 01:35:39,780 undiscussed let's go to part two. 1616 01:35:39,900 --> 01:35:43,770 Before you can I just give you two things that I've noticed in 1617 01:35:43,770 --> 01:35:50,310 relation to this topic. One is sessions. little spiel spittle 1618 01:35:50,310 --> 01:35:54,690 here really set off the the pro weed people. I mean, the den man 1619 01:35:54,690 --> 01:35:57,570 is like, holy crap, they should. Yeah, they should be and who 1620 01:35:57,570 --> 01:36:02,520 else? Oh, Scott Adams said, Hey, is he he's, he's, he likes the 1621 01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:05,820 holy herb, Scott Adams said, If Trump but all of a sudden 1622 01:36:05,820 --> 01:36:09,180 decides, you know, the Trump administration decides, we're 1623 01:36:09,180 --> 01:36:12,360 gonna go after you know, weed and people smoking weed and all 1624 01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:15,690 this, he says, I will flip so fast, and I will do anything to 1625 01:36:15,690 --> 01:36:19,710 take them down. And I think I would also be very angry about 1626 01:36:19,710 --> 01:36:23,550 that. The second thing is that had a conversation over the 1627 01:36:23,550 --> 01:36:25,860 weekend with one of the millennials in my life, we were 1628 01:36:25,860 --> 01:36:28,350 talking about the third wave of feminism, which we can talk 1629 01:36:28,350 --> 01:36:34,110 about later if we want. And one of the things that came on, you 1630 01:36:34,110 --> 01:36:37,650 know, came up with the social justice warriors, is the need to 1631 01:36:37,650 --> 01:36:41,280 educate people that this is what the third wave is about, need to 1632 01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:45,480 educate people. And the top thing really, of educating 1633 01:36:45,480 --> 01:36:49,740 particularly white men, is how black men have gotten a raw deal 1634 01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:54,750 on drug sentencing. And so that is playing right now. This also 1635 01:36:54,750 --> 01:37:01,050 cannot be a coincidence. Right? She does just walk away. Sorry, 1636 01:37:01,110 --> 01:37:02,400 I do that sometimes to 1637 01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:06,330 listening. I just there was a there was something on the other 1638 01:37:06,330 --> 01:37:08,970 machine that relates to this, and I have to get the web 1639 01:37:08,970 --> 01:37:11,820 address and put it over here. Okay, yeah, part two. Let's go. 1640 01:37:11,820 --> 01:37:14,640 Yeah, that's by the way, this whole thing is about Blackbaud 1641 01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:15,600 minorities. Yeah, 1642 01:37:15,660 --> 01:37:19,290 in 2013. Then Attorney General Eric Holder told prosecutors to 1643 01:37:19,290 --> 01:37:22,980 leave drug quantities out of charging documents to cut down 1644 01:37:22,980 --> 01:37:26,460 on unduly harsh sentences that did not, quote promote public 1645 01:37:26,460 --> 01:37:29,970 safety, deterrence and rehabilitation. These directives 1646 01:37:29,970 --> 01:37:33,330 coincided with us Sentencing Commission changes and Obama 1647 01:37:33,330 --> 01:37:36,330 administration clemency initiatives that provided second 1648 01:37:36,330 --> 01:37:41,010 chances for low level federal drug offenders. That led to a 1649 01:37:41,010 --> 01:37:45,030 sharp decline in the federal prison population. In 2013, the 1650 01:37:45,030 --> 01:37:48,840 federal prison population sat at nearly 220,000. Today that 1651 01:37:48,840 --> 01:37:53,280 number stands just under 190,000. In reaction to sessions 1652 01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:56,010 memo today, former Attorney General Holder called the move 1653 01:37:56,070 --> 01:37:59,940 dumb on crime. And Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky 1654 01:37:59,940 --> 01:38:03,420 said these new policies will accentuate the injustice of 1655 01:38:03,420 --> 01:38:06,540 unfairly incarcerating a disproportionate amount of 1656 01:38:06,540 --> 01:38:09,870 minorities. In March, President Trump created a new national 1657 01:38:09,870 --> 01:38:12,120 commission to combat the opioid crisis. 1658 01:38:12,690 --> 01:38:16,350 Drug abuse has become a crippling problem throughout the 1659 01:38:16,350 --> 01:38:17,460 United States. 1660 01:38:17,940 --> 01:38:21,150 Today's session is listed the opioid epidemic and a spike in 1661 01:38:21,150 --> 01:38:24,210 violence in big cities as reasons for this return to 1662 01:38:24,210 --> 01:38:25,230 harsher sentences. 1663 01:38:25,410 --> 01:38:28,920 Drug trafficking is an inherently dangerous and violent 1664 01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:32,760 business. If you want to collect a drug debt, you can't file a 1665 01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:36,600 lawsuit in court, you collect it with a barrel of a gun 1666 01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:39,690 in the memo sessions does leave discretion up to the prosecutors 1667 01:38:39,690 --> 01:38:43,020 to avoid unjust sentences. But those exceptions would need to 1668 01:38:43,020 --> 01:38:44,670 be approved and documented. 1669 01:38:47,190 --> 01:38:50,310 Well, this is another thing which kind of comes to mind when 1670 01:38:50,310 --> 01:38:54,480 I see this that the population has been lowered by 30,000. 1671 01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:57,660 Yeah, and there's all these of course, we have all these seemed 1672 01:38:57,660 --> 01:39:00,120 like 100 130,000 sounds like 1673 01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:06,930 that was 220s down to 180. Oh, I thought was okay. And they 1674 01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:11,190 there's a couple of things that bothered me. It always bothers 1675 01:39:11,190 --> 01:39:15,540 me. It bothers both of us, which is the the profit motivations of 1676 01:39:15,540 --> 01:39:16,440 so many prisons? 1677 01:39:16,440 --> 01:39:20,730 Yeah, the correctional Corporation of immigration of 1678 01:39:20,730 --> 01:39:23,340 America, there's that and then they also manufacture in a lot 1679 01:39:23,340 --> 01:39:26,850 of these prisons. They they besides just licensed it's free 1680 01:39:26,850 --> 01:39:30,420 labor. Yeah, it's free labor they paid 10 cents an hour slave 1681 01:39:30,420 --> 01:39:33,630 labor that we always accuse the Chinese of the Chinese have 1682 01:39:33,630 --> 01:39:36,990 accused us of that never gets any coverage. We have a slave 1683 01:39:36,990 --> 01:39:40,110 labor system in this country and it needs to be propped up and we 1684 01:39:40,110 --> 01:39:44,160 have room for 220,000 Federal these are federal prisons 1685 01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:47,760 and I'm not just making street signs. Let me Yeah, clothing and 1686 01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:49,890 making Ikea furniture, all kinds of stuff. 1687 01:39:50,190 --> 01:39:55,080 Well, not IKEA so much, but furniture for sure. And so this 1688 01:39:55,080 --> 01:39:59,700 so this is like, again, not discussed it they just plow 1689 01:39:59,700 --> 01:40:02,370 through it. head with this thing and they didn't just kind of 1690 01:40:02,370 --> 01:40:05,580 angle to make sessions look like an idiot. Of course they you 1691 01:40:05,580 --> 01:40:08,340 know, he sounds like what half the time. So, go. 1692 01:40:09,420 --> 01:40:12,450 For more we are joined by two former directors of the White 1693 01:40:12,450 --> 01:40:15,660 House Office of National Drug Control known more commonly as 1694 01:40:15,660 --> 01:40:19,080 the country's drug czars. Gil Kerlikowske served as President 1695 01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:22,860 Obama's drug policy adviser from 2009 to 2014. Before becoming 1696 01:40:22,860 --> 01:40:24,150 commissioner of customer care, 1697 01:40:24,420 --> 01:40:28,230 I want to do a preview on this dish to do a little setup. We 1698 01:40:28,230 --> 01:40:31,140 have two guys he brought in a they'd like to do these things. 1699 01:40:31,860 --> 01:40:36,900 PBS is doing a worse and worse and worse job they had. They had 1700 01:40:36,900 --> 01:40:39,450 the two guys where they do the argument that political 1701 01:40:39,450 --> 01:40:43,260 arguments about Trump usually with the the old guys Shields 1702 01:40:43,260 --> 01:40:46,560 and Brooks, they bring a new new guy in from the National Review. 1703 01:40:47,010 --> 01:40:50,430 And the two of them just both of them blast Trump. And I noticed 1704 01:40:50,430 --> 01:40:54,060 this some time ago on some show, I think about six months ago 1705 01:40:54,060 --> 01:40:58,050 where they won't even bring in anybody that has anything 1706 01:40:58,050 --> 01:41:01,080 contrary to say about climate change. In this instance, they 1707 01:41:01,080 --> 01:41:05,010 have two guys, two guys from one from Obama, the very liberal 1708 01:41:05,010 --> 01:41:07,740 from Obama and then a conservative and you think it's 1709 01:41:07,740 --> 01:41:10,740 going to go a certain way. It doesn't go that way at all. Both 1710 01:41:10,770 --> 01:41:16,920 guys are all in. There is no debate whatsoever. There's not 1711 01:41:17,010 --> 01:41:20,850 they don't bring a contrarian in they don't bring a random BS 1712 01:41:20,850 --> 01:41:23,970 man, they don't have to get ready the s has gone off the 1713 01:41:23,970 --> 01:41:28,530 rails with this two guys saying the same thing. And the shields 1714 01:41:28,530 --> 01:41:32,280 in this guy from the National Review was the worst. They both 1715 01:41:32,280 --> 01:41:35,370 of them said Trump should be impeached tomorrow. But listen 1716 01:41:35,370 --> 01:41:37,260 to these two guys on the drug problem 1717 01:41:37,290 --> 01:41:40,950 2009 to 2014, before becoming commissioner of Customs and 1718 01:41:40,950 --> 01:41:44,190 Border Patrol. He retired from that post in January. And John 1719 01:41:44,190 --> 01:41:47,280 Walters served as drugs are for all eight years of George W. 1720 01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:50,190 Bush's presidency. He is the chief operating officer of the 1721 01:41:50,190 --> 01:41:53,160 Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank. Thank you both for 1722 01:41:53,160 --> 01:41:55,650 joining us. John Walters, let me start with you don't mandatory 1723 01:41:55,650 --> 01:41:58,650 minimums, handcuffed judges take away some of their discretion 1724 01:41:58,650 --> 01:42:01,800 and disproportionately affect the poor and people of color? 1725 01:42:02,459 --> 01:42:05,129 Well, what they do is they target in the federal level more 1726 01:42:05,129 --> 01:42:07,979 senior traffickers, and they try to protect people from this 1727 01:42:07,979 --> 01:42:12,299 horrible drug drug epidemic. I think the issue is whether or 1728 01:42:12,299 --> 01:42:14,699 not we're going to have equity across the system. Some of these 1729 01:42:14,699 --> 01:42:18,509 were created for two reasons one, to create equity across the 1730 01:42:18,509 --> 01:42:21,389 federal system for serious offenses so that some people in 1731 01:42:21,389 --> 01:42:25,829 some places are shopping judges was not a way to avoid a fair 1732 01:42:25,829 --> 01:42:29,369 and equal punishment to the sentences were used to create 1733 01:42:29,819 --> 01:42:34,229 evidence from individuals pending conviction to help break 1734 01:42:34,229 --> 01:42:38,129 down whole drug organizations. They've worked. We need them now 1735 01:42:38,129 --> 01:42:40,949 we have the most deadly drug epidemic in the history of the 1736 01:42:40,949 --> 01:42:42,209 United States underway. 1737 01:42:44,100 --> 01:42:47,160 Now, they're talking about leverage to using sentences for 1738 01:42:47,160 --> 01:42:50,190 leveraging. I don't even know what that means, but they both 1739 01:42:50,190 --> 01:42:54,300 guys kind of set it and the you can go to the second guy now, 1740 01:42:54,300 --> 01:42:59,760 but before you do that, they there's this. It's very strange, 1741 01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:02,970 the way they're kind of positioning this. And the only 1742 01:43:03,030 --> 01:43:06,090 information I think is valuable in here is actually the death 1743 01:43:06,420 --> 01:43:11,580 toll. One of the guys mentions it's gun gun killings and 1744 01:43:11,610 --> 01:43:13,650 automobiles combined, 1745 01:43:13,650 --> 01:43:17,520 right. And we know that the real opioid crisis, which is a 1746 01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:21,870 medical term is because people are hooked on pharmaceuticals. 1747 01:43:22,770 --> 01:43:25,560 That's right. That's the beginning of the crisis. But 1748 01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:29,820 man, and just a moment of respect for the EMTs out there. 1749 01:43:31,170 --> 01:43:34,500 Who wants to be an EMT who wants to go save people's lives? We 1750 01:43:34,500 --> 01:43:38,280 know a bad Chad there in Colorado. If you have a we got 1751 01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:41,250 to put a hood on these people. The heroin addicts put a hood on 1752 01:43:41,250 --> 01:43:46,230 them. They're on PCP and heroin they Oh D we got to jab the the 1753 01:43:46,260 --> 01:43:49,620 what's the shot, call the brings you back to life. gnarrk gnarrk, 1754 01:43:49,620 --> 01:43:54,000 gnarrk gnarrk, gnarrk gnarrk gnarrk con, jab that in and 1755 01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:57,390 boom, they come back to life. They're insane. Because there 1756 01:43:57,390 --> 01:44:01,800 are still the PCP of the PCB kicks back in. Oh, and by the 1757 01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:04,770 way, whatever. They're on you just being around him touching 1758 01:44:04,770 --> 01:44:07,200 him. If they breathe on you you could also 1759 01:44:07,500 --> 01:44:10,680 die. Yes, according to this report to Okay, he's 1760 01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:15,090 Gil Kerlikowske, does this dismantle in some ways, some of 1761 01:44:15,090 --> 01:44:17,700 what you started to accomplish as drugs are in your 1762 01:44:17,700 --> 01:44:20,670 administration and perhaps slow the momentum for what seems to 1763 01:44:20,670 --> 01:44:25,050 be bipartisan approach and understanding towards criminal 1764 01:44:25,050 --> 01:44:25,830 justice reform? 1765 01:44:26,700 --> 01:44:30,330 Well, in some ways it does. But let's separate the opioid 1766 01:44:30,330 --> 01:44:34,530 epidemic. When I took office in 2009, it really was not on the 1767 01:44:34,530 --> 01:44:37,560 public's radar screen. These are pills. These aren't being 1768 01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:40,680 smuggled in across the country. They're not being manufactured 1769 01:44:40,680 --> 01:44:45,150 in some garage. This is driven by our medical practices, which 1770 01:44:45,150 --> 01:44:48,960 by the way is governed at the state level. So trying to step 1771 01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:52,830 out separate out the opioid issue. The heroin issue is 1772 01:44:52,830 --> 01:44:55,980 different, although it certainly is connected. But if you're a 1773 01:44:55,980 --> 01:44:59,130 trafficker, a drug trafficker, I couldn't agree more with the 1774 01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:02,160 what the attorney said General said, because if you're a drug 1775 01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:05,010 trafficker, and you're indicted by the federal government, 1776 01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:10,320 usually for a substantial amount of drugs and so that's important 1777 01:45:11,940 --> 01:45:16,440 Gilcrest Costco also want to ask me does this you know, what 1778 01:45:16,440 --> 01:45:18,780 about the argument that Jeff Sessions makes it says that you 1779 01:45:18,780 --> 01:45:22,770 know, this takes the handcuffs off of prosecutors prosecutors 1780 01:45:22,770 --> 01:45:25,830 have been complaining for some time that they can't use a large 1781 01:45:25,830 --> 01:45:28,170 sentences leverage to get the type of information that they 1782 01:45:28,170 --> 01:45:28,500 need. 1783 01:45:30,270 --> 01:45:33,480 Okay, now he uses the large sentences thing. They're gonna 1784 01:45:33,480 --> 01:45:36,840 go into take the handcuffs off in the next last clip. I think 1785 01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:39,420 it's the last we're getting there. Yeah. I noticed there's a 1786 01:45:39,420 --> 01:45:42,780 little piece of propaganda in here about the matches state 1787 01:45:42,780 --> 01:45:43,380 level. 1788 01:45:44,010 --> 01:45:47,520 Yeah, yeah. That means I owe you the states you got to take care 1789 01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:48,900 of it's your problem. No, he 1790 01:45:48,900 --> 01:45:53,340 says, that's where I was being handled now. Oh, I gotcha. And 1791 01:45:53,340 --> 01:45:56,280 it's not being handled well. So dude, so this is another this 1792 01:45:56,280 --> 01:45:57,450 attack on states, right. 1793 01:45:57,450 --> 01:46:01,770 Federal federal takeover, right. Yeah. Okay. See, which seems the 1794 01:46:01,770 --> 01:46:04,710 exact opposite of what the Trump administration stands for 1795 01:46:05,160 --> 01:46:05,790 exactly. 1796 01:46:06,870 --> 01:46:10,920 What the large sentence can be helpful. But remember to with 1797 01:46:10,920 --> 01:46:14,130 their finite resources in the Department of Justice, there are 1798 01:46:14,130 --> 01:46:18,960 finite jail space availability in the federal government. And 1799 01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:19,350 so 1800 01:46:19,380 --> 01:46:22,710 we only got so much inventory, John, I mean, we got to run the 1801 01:46:22,710 --> 01:46:25,740 inventory to the max. But the inventories inventory, we need 1802 01:46:25,740 --> 01:46:26,370 to fill it up 1803 01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:30,000 serving those spaces, and reserving those prosecutors for 1804 01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:33,840 the most serious crimes is very important. You know, I spent 1805 01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:36,450 almost eight years in the administration Hall, but for 1806 01:46:36,450 --> 01:46:40,380 months, I met with a number of US attorneys and assistant US 1807 01:46:40,380 --> 01:46:44,280 attorneys. I didn't hear them complaining about the way they 1808 01:46:44,280 --> 01:46:49,230 were being dealt with by what's finally called main justice. 1809 01:46:50,220 --> 01:46:53,580 John Walters, I want to ask, you mentioned the heroin epidemic. 1810 01:46:53,580 --> 01:46:55,290 And Gil also second to that. 1811 01:46:57,120 --> 01:46:59,880 I'd like to turn to the main justice. Yeah, I 1812 01:46:59,880 --> 01:47:02,010 didn't know what I was gonna bitch about here. But so let's 1813 01:47:02,010 --> 01:47:03,210 go ahead and finish it off. 1814 01:47:04,440 --> 01:47:07,770 John Walters, I want to ask you mentioned the heroin epidemic. 1815 01:47:07,770 --> 01:47:11,460 And Gil also seconded that. What about going after the 1816 01:47:11,460 --> 01:47:14,610 distribution and the manufacturer when I have to show 1817 01:47:14,610 --> 01:47:17,730 ID to get a bottle of NyQuil over the counter yet a town in 1818 01:47:17,730 --> 01:47:22,350 West Virginia, with a population of 800 can get 300,000 pills 1819 01:47:22,350 --> 01:47:24,840 shipped to it over a few years? Yeah, I think 1820 01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:28,890 the enforcement of the diversion of drugs, pill mills and other 1821 01:47:28,890 --> 01:47:33,300 kinds of diversion of synthetic opioids are important. But today 1822 01:47:33,300 --> 01:47:36,090 that that was what was happening. And, you know, five, 1823 01:47:36,090 --> 01:47:39,660 six years ago today, the death rate is driven by criminally 1824 01:47:39,660 --> 01:47:45,540 produced synthetic fentanyl, and heroin. And this is killing more 1825 01:47:45,540 --> 01:47:48,900 people every year than all the names and the Vietnam Veterans 1826 01:47:48,900 --> 01:47:52,920 Memorial. Secretary of HHS price mentioned that, in addition, 1827 01:47:52,920 --> 01:47:56,280 that number is accelerating. What's happened is we've lost 1828 01:47:56,280 --> 01:47:59,430 control of these organizations, and we need to be able to 1829 01:47:59,430 --> 01:48:02,580 enforce the law, you yourself have had the author of Dreamland 1830 01:48:02,580 --> 01:48:06,360 on this program, the story of the pills, and heroin coming 1831 01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:09,330 together to create this carnage. He notes that some of these 1832 01:48:09,330 --> 01:48:12,840 gangs were parking outside drug treatment centers, to give free 1833 01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:16,590 samples of heroin to people to redic them or to keep them from 1834 01:48:16,590 --> 01:48:19,500 getting into treatment, those people need to go to jail, we 1835 01:48:19,500 --> 01:48:21,990 need this on a much larger and larger effort we need to stop 1836 01:48:21,990 --> 01:48:25,230 talking about there's limited resources in the federal system 1837 01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:28,380 in the state system, we need to bring together public health 1838 01:48:28,380 --> 01:48:31,140 efforts to bring people into treatment, and we need to stop 1839 01:48:31,140 --> 01:48:34,920 the flow of this poison. It is killing more Americans than all 1840 01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:38,820 gun and automobile accidents combined. And it's accelerating. 1841 01:48:38,910 --> 01:48:42,450 And in addition to that cocaine production out of Colombia is 1842 01:48:42,450 --> 01:48:45,810 going back to the old track days. We're in the midst of a 1843 01:48:45,810 --> 01:48:49,380 facing a perfect storm, and we're not on top of it. We need 1844 01:48:49,380 --> 01:48:52,500 law enforcement to work as we need treatment to work. I 1845 01:48:52,500 --> 01:48:52,920 disagree 1846 01:48:52,920 --> 01:48:56,310 with the guy there at the end. Like everything you said, and he 1847 01:48:56,310 --> 01:49:00,390 said except we're not on top of it. That's incorrect. The facts 1848 01:49:00,390 --> 01:49:03,420 are right in front of our nose. Do you want to have a conclusion 1849 01:49:03,420 --> 01:49:04,260 before I do this? 1850 01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:06,750 I was gonna do a little discussion of fentanyl, but you 1851 01:49:06,750 --> 01:49:08,190 can do that. Okay. 1852 01:49:08,940 --> 01:49:13,980 We know for certain that any war on anything only results in more 1853 01:49:13,980 --> 01:49:17,460 of the thing we wage war on this is a historical fact. I don't 1854 01:49:17,460 --> 01:49:20,670 think President Trump has anything new up his sleeve. War 1855 01:49:20,670 --> 01:49:24,660 on Drugs means more drugs. Now, where if you look at heroin, 1856 01:49:24,660 --> 01:49:28,860 specifically, it's coming in through Mexico, through the 1857 01:49:28,860 --> 01:49:33,750 border, and it's naturally produced. In Afghanistan, the 1858 01:49:33,750 --> 01:49:36,630 two places where Trump is focusing a lot of his energy one 1859 01:49:36,630 --> 01:49:39,120 we don't hear much about Afghanistan, except Oh yeah, the 1860 01:49:39,120 --> 01:49:42,720 mother of all bombs. And I don't know if it's time for harvest or 1861 01:49:42,720 --> 01:49:46,110 not. But if you're playing SimCity if you're the boss, and 1862 01:49:46,110 --> 01:49:50,370 you're saying Holy crap, man, we got people dying every single 1863 01:49:50,370 --> 01:49:54,060 day because we don't have enough cheap heroin, which is very 1864 01:49:54,060 --> 01:49:56,670 different from the fentanyl and the car, fentanyl and all the 1865 01:49:56,670 --> 01:50:00,330 other synthetic opioids, not saying that you can't and kill 1866 01:50:00,330 --> 01:50:03,390 you. And that is not bad. I that's this is what I would be 1867 01:50:03,390 --> 01:50:05,700 doing. Like we got to up that we got to we got to flood the 1868 01:50:05,700 --> 01:50:09,690 market with this stuff so that people stop dying from the 1869 01:50:09,690 --> 01:50:15,240 craziest thing synthetics. And the wall was I've always said 1870 01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:18,030 it's about controlling the drug flow, there's going to be a nice 1871 01:50:18,030 --> 01:50:21,900 hole where you can come through and it's agreed to amounts and 1872 01:50:21,900 --> 01:50:25,320 times and the payoffs. Make no mistake, we run on drug money, 1873 01:50:25,770 --> 01:50:27,360 everything is drugs. 1874 01:50:27,780 --> 01:50:32,730 Well, the guys say that this, as it concludes, they mentioned 1875 01:50:32,730 --> 01:50:35,970 that they believe and it's been documented that most of the 1876 01:50:35,970 --> 01:50:41,010 drugs come through, within 10 feet of a guard, usually over 1877 01:50:41,010 --> 01:50:44,520 and over one of the border openings. They're not being 1878 01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:47,340 hauled in when people drag their family across the border. 1879 01:50:47,340 --> 01:50:49,740 They're not bringing drugs and I always thought that was bull 1880 01:50:49,740 --> 01:50:52,350 crap. Anyway, there's plenty of ways to getting drugs in they'd 1881 01:50:52,350 --> 01:50:55,470 be there to stop Marines. They got airplanes, there's all kinds 1882 01:50:55,470 --> 01:50:58,170 of ways you just having a few people drags him over the border 1883 01:50:58,170 --> 01:51:01,590 doesn't really amount to much. Although they claimed also that 1884 01:51:01,590 --> 01:51:04,260 the fentanyl in particular which is so powerful, you don't really 1885 01:51:04,260 --> 01:51:07,740 need to bring much in. And I want to read about a little 1886 01:51:07,740 --> 01:51:09,780 thing from the right from the wiki page and people should go 1887 01:51:09,780 --> 01:51:12,540 read this about fentanyl because it's really interesting. 1888 01:51:13,620 --> 01:51:17,220 Fentanyl is, according to the wiki is a potent synthetic 1889 01:51:17,220 --> 01:51:20,040 opioid pain medication with the rapid onset. This is 1890 01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:24,180 interesting. This is rapid onset and short duration, incredibly 1891 01:51:24,180 --> 01:51:28,350 short duration. It's not. It's used as kind of a quick high 1892 01:51:28,380 --> 01:51:31,320 like a one hit or like a lunchtime high. Yeah, it's 1893 01:51:31,320 --> 01:51:36,420 a potent agonist antagonist the short guys like 20 minutes like 1894 01:51:36,450 --> 01:51:42,120 well, in here, they're talking about 90 minutes. Fentanyl is 50 1895 01:51:42,120 --> 01:51:45,960 to 10 times 100 times more potent than morphine, which is a 1896 01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:49,710 bit much and some fentanyl analogues. I think the ones 1897 01:51:49,710 --> 01:51:51,570 you're talking about which are designed to mimic the 1898 01:51:51,570 --> 01:51:54,810 pharmacological effects of the original drug may be as much as 1899 01:51:54,840 --> 01:52:00,480 10,000 times more potent than morphine. Wow. Fentanyl was 1900 01:52:00,480 --> 01:52:05,160 first made by Paul Janssen in 1960. Following the inception of 1901 01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:09,390 Demerol several years earlier. Janssen developed fentanyl by 1902 01:52:09,420 --> 01:52:12,120 asking the analogs of the structure of the related drug 1903 01:52:12,540 --> 01:52:16,260 Petha Dean for opioid activity the widespread use of fentanyl 1904 01:52:16,260 --> 01:52:20,640 triggered the production of fentanyl citrate assault form by 1905 01:52:20,970 --> 01:52:26,220 combining fentanyl with acetic acid or citric acid which 1906 01:52:26,220 --> 01:52:28,710 entered the medical useless to general anesthetics was 1907 01:52:28,710 --> 01:52:30,180 added for flavor no doubt 1908 01:52:32,520 --> 01:52:38,490 preservative and it used to be called sub Lamaze yummy and then 1909 01:52:38,490 --> 01:52:40,920 there's a bunch of other ones that came out for medical 1910 01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:46,590 practice to Fana till Atlanta till remin affinity Hill and low 1911 01:52:46,590 --> 01:52:50,280 affinity Hill they're all have a similar sound. In the mid 90s 1912 01:52:50,280 --> 01:52:53,250 fentanyl was introduced for palliative use with the fentanyl 1913 01:52:53,250 --> 01:52:56,070 patch followed by the next in the next decade by the 1914 01:52:56,070 --> 01:53:00,660 introduction of the fentanyl lollipop. Also dissolving, yeah, 1915 01:53:00,750 --> 01:53:04,920 also dissolving tablets and some sublingual spray which are 1916 01:53:04,920 --> 01:53:09,570 absorbed to the tissues. As of 2012 fentanyl is the most widely 1917 01:53:09,570 --> 01:53:14,370 used synthetic opioid in medicine. 1700 kilograms were 1918 01:53:14,370 --> 01:53:16,620 used globally in 2013. How do 1919 01:53:16,620 --> 01:53:19,080 you make can you make it at home? No, no. 1920 01:53:21,150 --> 01:53:24,870 also uses a recreational drug leading to 1000s of overdose 1921 01:53:24,900 --> 01:53:28,050 this recreational thing that seems to be the issue. deaths 1922 01:53:28,050 --> 01:53:31,530 have resulted from improper medical use. And recreational 1923 01:53:31,530 --> 01:53:34,410 use fentanyl is widely read therapeutic index was made very 1924 01:53:34,410 --> 01:53:37,020 safe. They use it for anesthesia. It's not like a 1925 01:53:37,020 --> 01:53:43,650 drag. That's not common. But here's the thing here is well 1926 01:53:43,650 --> 01:53:47,520 again, let me just refer people to this website. And not to wiki 1927 01:53:47,520 --> 01:53:51,030 page. But there's a website that is I don't know why you haven't 1928 01:53:51,030 --> 01:53:54,450 mentioned on the show before, which is drug experimenters. 1929 01:53:54,840 --> 01:53:57,450 We've talked about this, whenever they give you their 1930 01:53:57,450 --> 01:54:01,260 entire experience of the individual highs Yeah, e r 1931 01:54:01,290 --> 01:54:08,130 o Wi d.com or.org Sorry, e r o wi d dot Oregon. And every drug 1932 01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:13,230 in the world is in here. And it usually has commentary by dozens 1933 01:54:13,230 --> 01:54:18,000 of people who are experimenters. And they talk about fentanyl 1934 01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:22,470 quite a bit and the guy who used it usually, I mean, there's some 1935 01:54:22,470 --> 01:54:26,160 people that actually like it, but if you look it up, you get 1936 01:54:26,190 --> 01:54:31,470 the death pill you get the worst thing I've ever had. Or Ray has 1937 01:54:31,470 --> 01:54:31,830 a great 1938 01:54:32,760 --> 01:54:36,210 does it have ratings like Amazon? Yes, they should. 1939 01:54:38,220 --> 01:54:41,310 But one guy was bitching that he was checking his blood because 1940 01:54:41,550 --> 01:54:44,790 these guys are nuts. They grabbed themselves out a bunch 1941 01:54:44,790 --> 01:54:47,760 of gear and then they take some drug and take all their vitals. 1942 01:54:47,940 --> 01:54:51,630 This guest says he almost died with a very small patch using 1943 01:54:51,630 --> 01:54:55,200 the patch which I guess is very popular. But this is bad news 1944 01:54:55,200 --> 01:54:57,990 and he really does all stem from the medical profession. 1945 01:54:58,020 --> 01:54:58,950 You might die 1946 01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:05,880 Well, I'm calling this the great harvest of 2017 1947 01:55:06,389 --> 01:55:07,979 Well, they got to put a stop to it. 1948 01:55:08,099 --> 01:55:09,839 And that's the only way to do it. 1949 01:55:11,040 --> 01:55:13,020 Now the only way to do it is to legalize it 1950 01:55:14,490 --> 01:55:16,380 well that is the ultimate way Yeah. 1951 01:55:16,830 --> 01:55:20,430 because it lowers the prices though the profit motive has 1952 01:55:20,430 --> 01:55:21,510 gone legalized 1953 01:55:21,510 --> 01:55:24,210 the poppy version, not the not the synthetic version. 1954 01:55:26,130 --> 01:55:29,970 Well, the synthetic version if it was legalized all this crazy 1955 01:55:29,970 --> 01:55:34,620 shit that comes in from China, which is made there some for 1956 01:55:34,620 --> 01:55:37,770 some purpose or other and somehow it gets into the 1957 01:55:38,670 --> 01:55:40,890 Let's Let's back up for a second. That's not going to 1958 01:55:40,890 --> 01:55:44,520 happen, because we heard very clearly and I have to say at 1959 01:55:44,520 --> 01:55:47,070 this point, I've never really heard anything where session 1960 01:55:47,070 --> 01:55:50,460 said specifically this about marijuana, or, you know, states 1961 01:55:50,460 --> 01:55:54,810 who have or have not legalize it for medicinal or recreational 1962 01:55:54,810 --> 01:55:57,090 use. It's all about heroin. It's all about opioids. 1963 01:55:57,570 --> 01:56:00,780 Yes. But sessions is a known anti marijuana guy. 1964 01:56:00,870 --> 01:56:04,740 It's fine. But there's no way that they're going to legalize 1965 01:56:04,740 --> 01:56:06,900 it. They're going the other route, which is get the good 1966 01:56:06,900 --> 01:56:10,170 stuff. And I'm telling you, this is the only answer. And it 1967 01:56:10,170 --> 01:56:15,690 answers a lot of issues. To me, it seems cut and dry. Why? What 1968 01:56:15,690 --> 01:56:18,810 else are we do? Why are we going into Afghanistan? Why answer 1969 01:56:18,840 --> 01:56:19,530 why? 1970 01:56:20,040 --> 01:56:22,140 Well, we know the answer we've talked about on the show a 1971 01:56:22,140 --> 01:56:26,520 million times. But if it was legalized and the prices came 1972 01:56:26,520 --> 01:56:29,760 down, and people will use it into controlled environments, 1973 01:56:29,820 --> 01:56:31,950 the situation wouldn't exist like this. 1974 01:56:33,330 --> 01:56:36,630 But we're not we're not Trump. No one's gonna listen to our 1975 01:56:36,630 --> 01:56:41,730 argument that guy's never tried to drink. Yes. What does he know 1976 01:56:41,880 --> 01:56:44,580 he's qualified for governing over this? 1977 01:56:45,660 --> 01:56:48,930 No, I agree. Should recuse himself as president 1978 01:56:49,020 --> 01:56:52,440 as a teetotaller rookie recused myself from this entire 1979 01:56:52,440 --> 01:56:52,950 situation 1980 01:56:52,980 --> 01:56:56,880 all I know if it's the death toll is they said it's gonna be 1981 01:56:56,880 --> 01:56:59,970 averaging 100,000 a year which is what people are moaning and 1982 01:56:59,970 --> 01:57:02,400 groaning about then death so we but this is worse. 1983 01:57:02,430 --> 01:57:05,520 So we've always known that when he's taking the second best 1984 01:57:05,520 --> 01:57:09,930 option for him personally, then something you could actually do. 1985 01:57:11,040 --> 01:57:12,780 Get with it. Throw everybody in jail. 1986 01:57:12,840 --> 01:57:16,590 No, get all the good stuff and produce low low cost, high 1987 01:57:16,590 --> 01:57:19,590 quality real heroin the good stuff, you know, like Coca Cola, 1988 01:57:19,590 --> 01:57:19,710 but 1989 01:57:19,710 --> 01:57:23,490 that's not our government doing it is its agencies that are 1990 01:57:23,490 --> 01:57:25,890 taking the money pocketing it. Yeah. 1991 01:57:26,040 --> 01:57:29,010 But still the poppies come in. We know how it works. 1992 01:57:31,200 --> 01:57:33,000 But anyway, I find the whole thing distressing. 1993 01:57:33,510 --> 01:57:34,560 It's very distressing. 1994 01:57:34,620 --> 01:57:39,000 It's very weird. I had a little stronger. I think it was better 1995 01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:39,090 than 1996 01:57:39,090 --> 01:57:44,370 Yeah, the jury was unconvinced. Let's go to South Korea for a 1997 01:57:44,370 --> 01:57:47,310 moment awesome stuff happening. As Moon 1998 01:57:47,310 --> 01:57:50,100 Jae In begins his new role as President of the Republic of 1999 01:57:50,100 --> 01:57:53,490 Korea. The ruling party in parliament is pushing for a 2000 01:57:53,490 --> 01:57:56,700 hearing on a controversial missile defense system. The 2001 01:57:56,700 --> 01:57:59,310 Democratic Party wants to address national suspicions 2002 01:57:59,310 --> 01:58:03,090 surrounding the US made fast system Joseph, President Moon 2003 01:58:03,090 --> 01:58:05,370 said he would reconsider the deployment. 2004 01:58:05,400 --> 01:58:08,280 Yes, the democratic means you party and that's Moon Jae in's 2005 01:58:08,280 --> 01:58:08,820 party. 2006 01:58:08,850 --> 01:58:10,650 Did you say the democratic ninja party 2007 01:58:10,860 --> 01:58:12,060 sounded like it's in Juba? 2008 01:58:13,170 --> 01:58:15,210 I like Ninja. That's good. 2009 01:58:15,540 --> 01:58:18,750 That's national suspicions surrounding the US made fan 2010 01:58:18,750 --> 01:58:22,260 system. Joseph. President Moon said he would reconsider the 2011 01:58:22,260 --> 01:58:22,950 deployment. 2012 01:58:22,980 --> 01:58:26,490 Yes, the Democratic MUJI party and that's Moon Jae in's party 2013 01:58:26,520 --> 01:58:30,060 has a special panel and they've been pushing for a parliamentary 2014 01:58:30,060 --> 01:58:35,040 hearing for the missile battery also calling for the deployment 2015 01:58:35,040 --> 01:58:38,520 to be suspended until it's approved in the National 2016 01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:42,480 Assembly for what they say is to prevent further national 2017 01:58:42,480 --> 01:58:45,720 conflict. Now this missile battery has been a topic of 2018 01:58:45,720 --> 01:58:49,350 controversy in South Korea since it was first announced getting 2019 01:58:49,350 --> 01:58:52,920 backlash from residents near the installment site as well as 2020 01:58:53,040 --> 01:58:56,670 other countries including China and Russia. And when Jane and 2021 01:58:56,670 --> 01:59:00,120 his party have called for a delay in the deployment, saying 2022 01:59:00,120 --> 01:59:03,930 that the ousted president Pumpkinhead and her government 2023 01:59:03,930 --> 01:59:08,160 didn't really receive public consensus before they came to a 2024 01:59:08,160 --> 01:59:11,760 decision. Now all of this comes at a time where key components 2025 01:59:11,910 --> 01:59:15,210 of the fad missile battery, including the high profile X 2026 01:59:15,210 --> 01:59:19,080 band radar and mobile launchers have already been delivered. So 2027 01:59:19,080 --> 01:59:22,770 it is of question as to whether they'll be able to even reverse 2028 01:59:22,770 --> 01:59:25,500 the decision. But the controversy has further 2029 01:59:25,500 --> 01:59:30,000 escalated following US President Donald Trump's remarks saying 2030 01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:33,330 that South Korea would have to burden the cost of that which 2031 01:59:33,600 --> 01:59:37,890 wasn't in any agreement before. But all of this is in question 2032 01:59:37,890 --> 01:59:41,280 because Moon Jae In and his party do not have the full 2033 01:59:41,280 --> 01:59:44,610 backing and majority in the National Assembly. So we'll have 2034 01:59:44,610 --> 01:59:48,420 to see if this plan as well as his other reform plans will even 2035 01:59:48,420 --> 01:59:50,760 be able to get approval in Parliament. 2036 01:59:51,480 --> 01:59:54,240 So the takeaway from this we already knew the moon stir was 2037 01:59:54,240 --> 01:59:59,520 against it, which I think is fab. I did not know that we have 2038 01:59:59,520 --> 02:00:02,250 no clue ain't there that the American taxpayer has been 2039 02:00:02,250 --> 02:00:04,740 paying for this of which the shit has already been delivered 2040 02:00:04,740 --> 02:00:07,500 on the ends on the ground ready to be installed? We've been 2041 02:00:07,500 --> 02:00:11,190 paying for it all along. Yeah, I did not realize that we pay for 2042 02:00:11,190 --> 02:00:13,290 all of it. I thought that there was a buyer there. 2043 02:00:14,280 --> 02:00:18,420 Well, apparently not. Ah well, it doesn't make any difference 2044 02:00:18,420 --> 02:00:20,460 as long as his arms companies get the money. 2045 02:00:20,490 --> 02:00:24,750 Oh, of course, Ash yet. There was a big one to 2046 02:00:26,190 --> 02:00:30,810 North Korea update cbspd. Here's another another report on the 2047 02:00:30,810 --> 02:00:34,950 same thing. It's kind of funny. Funny screw up in here to see if 2048 02:00:34,950 --> 02:00:36,300 you can spot it. There's breaking 2049 02:00:36,300 --> 02:00:39,600 news tonight from the Korean peninsula. CBS News confirms 2050 02:00:39,600 --> 02:00:42,990 North Korea launched a missile Sunday morning local time. From 2051 02:00:42,990 --> 02:00:46,620 its Pusan test facility. It's unclear what type of missile was 2052 02:00:46,620 --> 02:00:50,340 fired and whether the launch was successful. It comes just hours 2053 02:00:50,340 --> 02:00:53,340 after a senior North Korean diplomat said the communist 2054 02:00:53,340 --> 02:00:56,730 dictatorship wouldn't be open to talks with the United States. 2055 02:00:56,940 --> 02:00:59,850 Under the right conditions. Continued missile tests by the 2056 02:00:59,850 --> 02:01:02,550 North would of course ruin any chances of diplomatic 2057 02:01:02,550 --> 02:01:05,640 breakthrough. Adriana Diaz has more from Beijing 2058 02:01:06,690 --> 02:01:10,200 while traveling through Beijing International Airport, senior 2059 02:01:10,200 --> 02:01:14,400 North Korean diplomat chase on way too said North Korea is open 2060 02:01:14,400 --> 02:01:18,870 to talks with the US economy they mill and additions are 2061 02:01:18,870 --> 02:01:22,260 right she said we'll speak to the Trump administration. Her 2062 02:01:22,260 --> 02:01:25,290 comments follow President Trump's overture to North Korea 2063 02:01:25,320 --> 02:01:28,740 earlier this month when he said he'd be quote honored to meet 2064 02:01:28,740 --> 02:01:32,490 with dictator Kim Jong Moon under the right circumstances. 2065 02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:36,810 The ratcheting down or rhetoric comes after months of escalating 2066 02:01:36,810 --> 02:01:41,460 exchanges between Washington and Pyongyang. North Korea has 2067 02:01:41,460 --> 02:01:45,420 continued to test banned ballistic missiles while the US 2068 02:01:45,420 --> 02:01:48,720 has beefed up its military presence in the region as a show 2069 02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:51,450 of force, including the deployment of an aircraft 2070 02:01:51,450 --> 02:01:55,050 carrier off the Korean peninsula. The comments also 2071 02:01:55,050 --> 02:01:58,050 come days after South Korea elected a new president this 2072 02:01:58,050 --> 02:02:01,440 week, who prefers engagement with the North instead of 2073 02:02:01,440 --> 02:02:02,280 isolation. 2074 02:02:03,269 --> 02:02:06,509 Banned ballistic missiles. I'm not sure what yeah, that was 2075 02:02:06,509 --> 02:02:07,199 weird. 2076 02:02:07,769 --> 02:02:11,369 Well, I did a little research to see what they what is this? You 2077 02:02:11,369 --> 02:02:14,909 look it up. And apparently, these missiles in North Korea's 2078 02:02:14,909 --> 02:02:18,569 shoot, the ones they shoot off are banned by the United 2079 02:02:18,569 --> 02:02:23,669 Nations. And I'm thinking why are they banned? Yeah, I can't 2080 02:02:23,669 --> 02:02:26,459 get to the bottom of that. Why are they banned from shooting 2081 02:02:26,459 --> 02:02:29,129 off ballistic missiles just randomly and we're not 2082 02:02:29,160 --> 02:02:33,240 well, because they're douche is the kiss. 2083 02:02:33,240 --> 02:02:37,650 That's it. Guys don't get to shoot your missiles as I have 2084 02:02:37,650 --> 02:02:41,400 a follow up about just that we prefer to return to refer them 2085 02:02:41,400 --> 02:02:45,690 as sanctions. John not does not as banned substances. 2086 02:02:45,780 --> 02:02:48,450 And Joseph despite hostile relations, the Democratic 2087 02:02:48,450 --> 02:02:52,320 People's Republic of Korea sent a letter to the US House of 2088 02:02:52,320 --> 02:02:54,690 Representatives protesting new sanctions. 2089 02:02:54,720 --> 02:02:56,760 I didn't hear about this letter. I thought that was interesting. 2090 02:02:56,910 --> 02:02:59,340 What does the DPRK hope to achieve? 2091 02:02:59,580 --> 02:03:04,230 Yes, Alain de DPRK sent a letter in protests of the latest US 2092 02:03:04,230 --> 02:03:08,430 House of Representative Bill for tougher sanctions on Pyongyang. 2093 02:03:08,580 --> 02:03:12,510 And that's to prevent crude imports as well as international 2094 02:03:12,930 --> 02:03:14,610 shipping. And this would have 2095 02:03:14,639 --> 02:03:19,499 these were starving these people not now. No crude, no oil, no 2096 02:03:19,499 --> 02:03:20,129 food. 2097 02:03:20,130 --> 02:03:23,610 Oh, no, nothing. I was this humanitarian in any way. 2098 02:03:23,700 --> 02:03:26,460 Enjoy your rice is about what have you and have rice there. 2099 02:03:26,490 --> 02:03:29,310 They have rice. I hope so what do they have? What can they 2100 02:03:29,310 --> 02:03:31,980 make? They're good. What are they going to throw a tomato, 2101 02:03:31,980 --> 02:03:34,470 I think tomato, 2102 02:03:34,710 --> 02:03:38,430 international shipping, and this would become law if it's also 2103 02:03:38,430 --> 02:03:42,360 passed an act of war in the Senate. Now this letter is in 2104 02:03:42,360 --> 02:03:46,860 line with the DPRK argument that its nuclear program is for self 2105 02:03:46,860 --> 02:03:49,980 defense, and that they would continue to pursue it. Given 2106 02:03:49,980 --> 02:03:54,600 that Washington has continued to pursue what they say continued 2107 02:03:54,600 --> 02:03:59,340 to pursue hostile acts against their state. Now here's the DPRK 2108 02:03:59,340 --> 02:04:01,050 state media on the matter. 2109 02:04:01,080 --> 02:04:04,290 You have some good as the US House of Representatives and 2110 02:04:04,290 --> 02:04:06,330 acts more and more of these reckless and hostile 2111 02:04:06,330 --> 02:04:09,900 legislations against the DPRK. Our efforts to strengthen 2112 02:04:09,900 --> 02:04:13,290 nuclear deterrence will gather greater pace beyond anyone's 2113 02:04:13,290 --> 02:04:19,440 imagination. Tensions between 2114 02:04:19,530 --> 02:04:23,520 Washington and Pyongyang have been high with the new Trump 2115 02:04:23,520 --> 02:04:27,450 administration really focusing on isolating the state. And it 2116 02:04:27,450 --> 02:04:31,890 seems that the DPRK is trying to counter this by reviving its 2117 02:04:31,890 --> 02:04:36,120 foreign affairs committee amid the mounting set of sanctions. 2118 02:04:36,240 --> 02:04:39,150 Now the Seoul's unification ministry said that this 2119 02:04:39,150 --> 02:04:42,450 committee was revived in order to improve foreign relations 2120 02:04:42,600 --> 02:04:46,350 given its isolation, but we've seen more and more countries 2121 02:04:46,410 --> 02:04:50,340 really reinforce and back the sanctions, including recently 2122 02:04:50,340 --> 02:04:53,910 Germany closing down a hostile hostile that's run by North 2123 02:04:53,910 --> 02:04:57,240 Korea, as well as Southeast Asian countries including what 2124 02:04:57,240 --> 02:05:00,930 happened in Malaysia. Now all of this comes amid The Moon Jae In 2125 02:05:00,930 --> 02:05:05,400 has been receiving promises from other foreign leaders that who 2126 02:05:05,430 --> 02:05:09,810 really promised that they would back these UN sanctions as well 2127 02:05:09,810 --> 02:05:14,430 as helped South Korea to try to curb the DPRK nuclear and 2128 02:05:14,430 --> 02:05:15,270 missile program. 2129 02:05:16,140 --> 02:05:19,590 Does not sound like a good situation.

It's 2299 02:16:37,560 --> 02:16:40,080 just, it just kind of it's a long clip, but we can stop 2300 02:16:40,080 --> 02:16:42,750 whenever we want. It's just it's entertaining to me all the way 2301 02:16:42,750 --> 02:16:48,210 through. Of course, I didn't mean I heard at that time. 2302 02:16:50,250 --> 02:16:56,550 Tucker Carlson. I am talking about Tucker Carlson. He had on 2303 02:16:56,550 --> 02:17:00,750 a woman who was not a social justice warrior, she's 2304 02:17:00,750 --> 02:17:05,580 interesting woman actually see, well, it doesn't matter what her 2305 02:17:05,580 --> 02:17:10,500 name is. This was a story based on a report, a scientific 2306 02:17:10,500 --> 02:17:16,470 report. That's stated as conclusion. Women breast free 2307 02:17:16,470 --> 02:17:22,680 feeding is not natural. And oh, yeah, this is great. And so and 2308 02:17:22,680 --> 02:17:24,930 I understand both sides understand what's being said, 2309 02:17:24,930 --> 02:17:30,240 but it is indicative of just a larger issue, larger problem. 2310 02:17:30,480 --> 02:17:33,900 That may not be a problem to everybody. But the third wave of 2311 02:17:33,900 --> 02:17:36,540 phantom feminism that I spoke about earlier, is about 2312 02:17:36,540 --> 02:17:39,480 educating men, in particular white men, but it's about 2313 02:17:39,510 --> 02:17:43,170 educating men, you need to know what the truth is. And let's 2314 02:17:43,170 --> 02:17:44,670 listen to a new study in 2315 02:17:44,670 --> 02:17:48,330 the journal Pediatrics describes it as quote unethical to call 2316 02:17:48,330 --> 02:17:52,140 breastfeeding natural because doing so might undermine 2317 02:17:52,140 --> 02:17:55,800 feminism. The study says quote, coupling nature with motherhood 2318 02:17:55,800 --> 02:17:58,530 can inadvertently support biologically deterministic 2319 02:17:58,530 --> 02:18:02,220 arguments about the roles of men and women in the family. So this 2320 02:18:02,220 --> 02:18:04,590 is kind of a baffling story, one that people are inserting 2321 02:18:04,590 --> 02:18:06,930 politics into breastfeeding, which seems like it'd be off 2322 02:18:06,930 --> 02:18:10,860 limits for politics, but right to why it would be controversial 2323 02:18:10,860 --> 02:18:13,980 to call breastfeeding natural if frustrating is not natural. What 2324 02:18:13,980 --> 02:18:14,580 is natural? 2325 02:18:14,910 --> 02:18:18,120 Well, breastfeeding doesn't come naturally, as pediatricians will 2326 02:18:18,120 --> 02:18:20,850 tell you, it's not exactly easy. There are lactation specialists 2327 02:18:20,850 --> 02:18:23,040 out there. There's a whole industry out there. So 2328 02:18:23,040 --> 02:18:26,520 breastfeeding isn't exactly natural doesn't come naturally 2329 02:18:26,520 --> 02:18:29,700 to women. So what they're saying is, which I'm so happy, there's 2330 02:18:29,700 --> 02:18:32,100 a study out there that are finally letting women not have 2331 02:18:32,100 --> 02:18:36,390 this guilt trip, that it's okay to him the formula over to daddy 2332 02:18:36,390 --> 02:18:41,220 to the men, and it's natural for a man to feed a baby. So they're 2333 02:18:41,220 --> 02:18:45,090 saying that only a woman able to feed a child is is inappropriate 2334 02:18:45,090 --> 02:18:45,210 to 2335 02:18:45,210 --> 02:18:47,790 here's the crazy thing. As I was listening to this report, I 2336 02:18:47,820 --> 02:18:54,000 immediately went searching for the actual study, look for any 2337 02:18:54,030 --> 02:18:57,660 any connections. And to me, the first thing I thought is this 2338 02:18:57,660 --> 02:19:01,770 must be the baby food industry or the formula industry, who 2339 02:19:01,770 --> 02:19:06,780 have somehow gotten this report out there. And this is, you 2340 02:19:06,780 --> 02:19:11,790 know, and this is a Latina, I'm sorry, a Latin x as she next 2341 02:19:11,790 --> 02:19:16,770 Yeah, she runs, what does she runs, she runs a female 2342 02:19:16,890 --> 02:19:24,450 magazine, which is mainly focused on the Latinas and some 2343 02:19:24,450 --> 02:19:27,180 and I'm like is she is she being sponsored, sponsored her 2344 02:19:27,210 --> 02:19:31,290 magazine and she touts clearly on her website. What great 2345 02:19:31,290 --> 02:19:33,990 companies have sponsored have advertised but doesn't 2346 02:19:33,990 --> 02:19:36,270 necessarily list any food company that I can see that 2347 02:19:36,270 --> 02:19:38,790 would have baby formula, but this just kept on going. It's 2348 02:19:38,820 --> 02:19:42,150 unethical and inappropriate. And I'm so so glad that we left off 2349 02:19:42,180 --> 02:19:43,470 let off the hook fine. 2350 02:19:43,469 --> 02:19:47,519 I mean, women are let off the hook. You know, it's this kind 2351 02:19:47,519 --> 02:19:52,079 of brings into play what this is. And it's obvious that this 2352 02:19:52,079 --> 02:19:55,859 is intended to create media havoc, because obviously 2353 02:19:55,859 --> 02:20:00,539 everyone knows that. It is a natural process. It is Is it not 2354 02:20:00,539 --> 02:20:05,399 natural for men to give breast milk through their own breasts? 2355 02:20:05,969 --> 02:20:09,959 So it's intended to spark some kind of, it seems like the age 2356 02:20:09,959 --> 02:20:13,829 old controversy. Is it bad to have breast milk? Or not? To be 2357 02:20:13,829 --> 02:20:15,689 had to have formula instead of breast milk as 2358 02:20:15,690 --> 02:20:18,720 an unethical or inappropriate whatever those words mean? I 2359 02:20:18,720 --> 02:20:22,080 mean, it can it's the opinion of some physicians that breast milk 2360 02:20:22,080 --> 02:20:25,050 is superior to formula and other people disagree. And it's a it's 2361 02:20:25,050 --> 02:20:28,560 a debate that has raged for quite some time. But it's what 2362 02:20:28,560 --> 02:20:34,320 you're seem to be saying is, it is bad, because it suggests that 2363 02:20:34,320 --> 02:20:37,440 women have a different role in motherhood than men do. But 2364 02:20:37,440 --> 02:20:41,160 would they do because women are the only people biologically 2365 02:20:41,160 --> 02:20:44,220 capable of bearing children? Is that now a controversial 2366 02:20:44,220 --> 02:20:44,790 observation? 2367 02:20:45,000 --> 02:20:47,400 Well, the study is saying, though, that women are not the 2368 02:20:47,400 --> 02:20:50,160 only ones who could feed the children. So that's what they're 2369 02:20:50,160 --> 02:20:53,580 trying to say. It is natural for others to be able to feed the 2370 02:20:53,580 --> 02:20:57,300 children. So the whole burden is not on the mother. So that's 2371 02:20:57,300 --> 02:20:57,960 what they're trying to say, 2372 02:20:57,960 --> 02:21:02,790 which isn't, maybe I'm unaware, but is it an issue that Fathers 2373 02:21:02,790 --> 02:21:06,930 say, Hey, I don't care what you do you but you got to give the 2374 02:21:06,930 --> 02:21:09,480 kid breast milk and I'm not gonna get informed about your 2375 02:21:09,480 --> 02:21:12,870 nipples are tough luck. You got to give the breast milk means 2376 02:21:12,870 --> 02:21:13,920 that really a thing? 2377 02:21:15,150 --> 02:21:16,740 Did I know? I mean, but that's 2378 02:21:16,740 --> 02:21:20,040 okay. First of all, of course, that's true, right, of course. 2379 02:21:20,250 --> 02:21:22,620 And that's kind of a decision. 2380 02:21:22,650 --> 02:21:25,080 What do you mean there? I don't think women are stupid. 2381 02:21:25,230 --> 02:21:28,470 Well, I think women that I interviewed a pediatrician that 2382 02:21:28,470 --> 02:21:29,160 had a mother 2383 02:21:29,190 --> 02:21:31,680 now she's gonna say there are some women who are stupid. This 2384 02:21:31,680 --> 02:21:34,170 is this is the best part. She's even saying women are stupid 2385 02:21:34,170 --> 02:21:35,490 women are stupid. 2386 02:21:35,670 --> 02:21:38,880 Well, there are women that I interviewed a pediatrician that 2387 02:21:38,880 --> 02:21:42,240 had a mother that had a child starving for two weeks, she was 2388 02:21:42,240 --> 02:21:45,510 not able to lactate she was not able to produce breast milk for 2389 02:21:45,510 --> 02:21:48,540 two weeks, the baby had lost weight, and she refused to give 2390 02:21:48,540 --> 02:21:51,870 that baby formula for fear that her baby was not going to get 2391 02:21:51,870 --> 02:21:54,810 the perfect breast milk. And we'd have to turn to formula. 2392 02:21:54,840 --> 02:21:55,050 Okay. 2393 02:21:56,280 --> 02:21:59,550 That's totally fair point. And that's a shame when people feel 2394 02:21:59,550 --> 02:22:02,430 like and people do there's no alternative. Perhaps there are 2395 02:22:02,430 --> 02:22:05,610 some, but that's not what's really going on here. This is 2396 02:22:05,610 --> 02:22:10,110 gender politics, intruding on the personal decisions that 2397 02:22:10,110 --> 02:22:12,300 parents make? Well, it's also 2398 02:22:12,300 --> 02:22:15,060 blurring the lines, we needed that she says we needed 2399 02:22:15,060 --> 02:22:20,010 that. It's suggesting, by the way that men can breastfeed, 2400 02:22:20,190 --> 02:22:21,690 which I don't think they can't. 2401 02:22:22,590 --> 02:22:28,260 And then could it? I don't know. But I do know. I have four 2402 02:22:28,260 --> 02:22:29,970 children. I can I can tell you, I don't 2403 02:22:29,970 --> 02:22:32,460 know what do you think's going on with this job? Is this just 2404 02:22:32,460 --> 02:22:34,800 more gender per 2405 02:22:34,800 --> 02:22:38,460 se? Good? Do I? Well, I mean, I've heard this before. Got 2406 02:22:38,460 --> 02:22:42,630 nowhere. I think it's I think is it's just I think this is Tucker 2407 02:22:42,630 --> 02:22:45,600 running out of material. Okay, now I'm down with that. You're 2408 02:22:45,600 --> 02:22:49,380 right, she's got to this moment is not really doing her job. And 2409 02:22:49,380 --> 02:22:52,290 so far. She's flirting with he's not 2410 02:22:52,290 --> 02:22:56,010 she's not. Yeah, maybe she was flirting with him a little bit. 2411 02:22:56,010 --> 02:22:59,640 In hindsight, that's a good point. It's a very good point. I 2412 02:22:59,640 --> 02:23:02,100 want to talk about this third wave of feminism just for a 2413 02:23:02,100 --> 02:23:05,400 moment. And then you know, because it kind of starts, it's 2414 02:23:05,400 --> 02:23:08,880 hard to get a little picture of this. And, and you know, that 2415 02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:13,140 what is being taught in universities is courses like 2416 02:23:13,170 --> 02:23:17,910 Gender in Media, gender and Media Studies, though, and I 2417 02:23:17,910 --> 02:23:22,470 believe that maybe for certain types of education, that liberal 2418 02:23:22,470 --> 02:23:27,030 arts, I would say, it's a required course. And, you know, 2419 02:23:27,030 --> 02:23:33,330 there UT Austin, apparently, I think it is not 2420 02:23:33,869 --> 02:23:37,529 dead, it's school by school, I really find it hard to believe 2421 02:23:37,620 --> 02:23:44,250 I'm an I'm not 100% Sure. But they use a lot of current 2422 02:23:44,250 --> 02:23:48,360 examples of the news. And invariably, you know, they throw 2423 02:23:48,360 --> 02:23:53,940 in Trump and throw in Russia and all kinds of things. But I heard 2424 02:23:53,940 --> 02:23:57,390 this phrase, the third wave of feminism, and I questioned so 2425 02:23:57,390 --> 02:24:01,530 what were the other two. And the first one that is being taught 2426 02:24:01,530 --> 02:24:05,010 or at least discussed in these university, but I think is being 2427 02:24:05,010 --> 02:24:11,310 taught to was suffragettes which was really, women need to be 2428 02:24:11,310 --> 02:24:13,800 equal to men. And that's not exactly how that went down. 2429 02:24:13,800 --> 02:24:16,830 Because that that was about land and, 2430 02:24:16,920 --> 02:24:19,710 you know, it's about mostly land and voting, land and voting. 2431 02:24:20,160 --> 02:24:25,200 The second wave is the Jane Fonda's and neither Brian's and 2432 02:24:25,200 --> 02:24:29,130 I said, Well, what what do you categorize that? And within no 2433 02:24:29,130 --> 02:24:33,720 doubt, no question. That's, we hate men. That was that's what 2434 02:24:33,720 --> 02:24:36,030 the second wave is now considered. Would you agree with 2435 02:24:36,030 --> 02:24:38,910 that? I was quite young, so I don't really Yeah, I didn't 2436 02:24:38,910 --> 02:24:41,400 think it was Tina agreed, though. She says, Oh, yeah. That 2437 02:24:41,400 --> 02:24:42,180 was about hate. Yeah. 2438 02:24:42,180 --> 02:24:46,350 There's really stems from some very, very, some writers as 2439 02:24:46,350 --> 02:24:49,920 writers that caused this. It wasn't, you know, the 2440 02:24:49,920 --> 02:24:55,440 celebrities. And it was an intellectual movement that began 2441 02:24:55,440 --> 02:25:01,200 in the probably the late 50s. And you know, it's kind of the 2442 02:25:01,200 --> 02:25:05,460 man hating part, I think maybe evolved from it. But it was 2443 02:25:05,460 --> 02:25:07,590 there were other issues. It wasn't just about hating men, it 2444 02:25:07,590 --> 02:25:12,420 is more hating men, kind of in the 2.5 era where you have your 2445 02:25:12,420 --> 02:25:15,240 Janine garrafa lows and people would just bitch about 2446 02:25:15,240 --> 02:25:16,770 everything. You know, they're just hostile, 2447 02:25:16,830 --> 02:25:21,420 right? Yes. Well, then this hostility and the model of the 2448 02:25:21,420 --> 02:25:24,630 millennials in my life, they are they listen to the show, I have 2449 02:25:24,630 --> 02:25:29,850 to say, and are very pleased to hear different thinking and 2450 02:25:29,850 --> 02:25:32,820 stuff they start to agree with. But when I said you know, what 2451 02:25:32,820 --> 02:25:37,290 about this third wave, well, this is the obligation that the 2452 02:25:37,320 --> 02:25:42,450 third wave feminists feel the obligation to educate, to 2453 02:25:42,450 --> 02:25:45,480 educate particularly men, particularly white men, putting 2454 02:25:45,480 --> 02:25:49,050 the straight cisgender educator lecturer, well the word is 2455 02:25:49,050 --> 02:25:53,130 educate, then I think lecture would be friendlier, educate, 2456 02:25:53,130 --> 02:25:57,870 say, I need to educate you reeks of Nazism reeks of fascism reeks 2457 02:25:57,870 --> 02:26:01,920 of re education reeks of all kinds of bad things. But that is 2458 02:26:01,920 --> 02:26:05,640 the term need to educate. So you don't make these mistakes. 2459 02:26:05,640 --> 02:26:10,410 Again, topple the patriarchy these things the patriarchy. So 2460 02:26:10,410 --> 02:26:13,470 Well, I had nothing to do with all this. I'm just following 2461 02:26:13,470 --> 02:26:16,260 along. I'm I'm a mother lover. I'm not a hater. I'm not a 2462 02:26:16,260 --> 02:26:22,470 fighter. Yeah, but you need a means to be re educated. And I 2463 02:26:22,470 --> 02:26:27,060 find this disturbing. But this is not nice. You do it. Now I 2464 02:26:27,060 --> 02:26:32,640 understand. The woman in the Portland shopping spot about the 2465 02:26:32,640 --> 02:26:38,730 Confederate flag. Rug. She went in, she went in to educate the 2466 02:26:38,730 --> 02:26:42,000 people in there because she was filming it from the apparently 2467 02:26:42,000 --> 02:26:45,690 from the get go. She went in to say, Hey, I'm educated. I'm 2468 02:26:45,690 --> 02:26:48,810 educating you. Don't you know your history. Remember all the 2469 02:26:48,810 --> 02:26:50,700 things that we didn't play it on the show? And maybe we should 2470 02:26:50,700 --> 02:26:52,920 have but screw it by now everyone. Hopefully you've seen 2471 02:26:52,920 --> 02:26:53,520 this video? 2472 02:26:53,880 --> 02:26:56,730 I don't think so my wife just saw it like yesterday. Well, by 2473 02:26:56,730 --> 02:26:57,630 now she has 2474 02:26:57,630 --> 02:27:01,320 seen it. So this is case in point. Your argument makes no 2475 02:27:01,320 --> 02:27:07,350 sense. But there was but what is interesting now is the wrap up 2476 02:27:07,410 --> 02:27:10,080 of this that she's doing interviews and I have a local 2477 02:27:10,080 --> 02:27:14,970 news report from Portlandia area Portlandia. TV I think so you 2478 02:27:14,970 --> 02:27:20,070 can in this you really hear not only the education part with the 2479 02:27:20,160 --> 02:27:22,440 Biden you need to we need to talk about this needs to be done 2480 02:27:22,440 --> 02:27:28,260 when you educate but also the extreme the extreme exaggeration 2481 02:27:28,260 --> 02:27:33,330 in the word she uses a being attacked, attacked by these men 2482 02:27:33,330 --> 02:27:37,230 and just horrible experience as a woman in particular. And 2483 02:27:37,230 --> 02:27:39,060 anyone who's seen the video What did Mimi say? 2484 02:27:40,410 --> 02:27:43,980 She was She said, Hey, you got to see this video.

Only Jay listens to the 2488 02:27:53,400 --> 02:27:56,040 show. And every time we mentioned her name, she she 2489 02:27:56,040 --> 02:27:59,850 gives me she gets mad. Know what she gave me, man. I don't throw 2490 02:27:59,850 --> 02:28:03,240 everything out. She says to me. So what are you talking about? 2491 02:28:03,240 --> 02:28:07,740 Did it so what are you talking about?

Well, you wouldn't notice that there was 2494 02:28:13,080 --> 02:28:19,320 more or less anyway. It's true. Here's the local report. And 2495 02:28:19,320 --> 02:28:23,370 with an interview with this social justice warrior hillary 2496 02:28:23,370 --> 02:28:25,470 supporter, Bernie supporter which one you vote for? 2497 02:28:25,470 --> 02:28:28,980 It was an ugly exchange on Heather Franklin Facebook Live 2498 02:28:28,980 --> 02:28:32,640 video after she pointed out a confederate flag designed to run 2499 02:28:32,640 --> 02:28:33,870 for sale in the store. 2500 02:28:33,990 --> 02:28:36,960 I would not have confronted with kids with me if I would have 2501 02:28:36,960 --> 02:28:38,970 known that the reaction was going to be violent like that. 2502 02:28:38,970 --> 02:28:42,570 And then that was really scary. Franklin says those employees 2503 02:28:42,600 --> 02:28:44,310 followed her into the parking lot. 2504 02:28:44,369 --> 02:28:48,149 I was very shocked me to be called it by any employee is 2505 02:28:48,179 --> 02:28:49,799 quite harsh to be flipped off. 2506 02:28:49,949 --> 02:28:52,949 Store management says the rug never should have made it to the 2507 02:28:52,949 --> 02:28:53,849 sales floor. 2508 02:28:53,880 --> 02:28:59,970 We do not order these rugs by any particular style.

And then I started 2532 02:30:05,070 --> 02:30:06,810 thinking more and more about it. And it was 2533 02:30:07,620 --> 02:30:10,680 like, sadly, it's not staged. Well, 2534 02:30:10,740 --> 02:30:13,320 it's pathetic. Danna, people should go see this video. Did 2535 02:30:13,320 --> 02:30:15,540 you put it listed as link in the show notes last time?

And 2538 02:30:20,370 --> 02:30:22,980 again, watch this thing, if they haven't seen it already. 2539 02:30:23,040 --> 02:30:23,970 And one more thing, 2540 02:30:23,970 --> 02:30:25,320 it is fantastic. 2541 02:30:25,350 --> 02:30:27,630 Yeah, it's great. It's entertaining from beginning to 2542 02:30:27,630 --> 02:30:31,620 end. Yeah. And recall that she was really calling them out. I'm 2543 02:30:31,620 --> 02:30:34,890 posting this yes, they're here in Park and whatever street 2544 02:30:34,890 --> 02:30:39,600 address while I was watching the Adam Curtis documentary.

So you're 2549 02:30:52,560 --> 02:30:55,620 against the fact that we put that confederate flag on the 2550 02:30:55,620 --> 02:30:59,760 ground and people stomp all over it and stomp and stomp, and you 2551 02:30:59,760 --> 02:31:03,240 don't like us?

Yes, I think 2553 02:31:08,010 --> 02:31:13,560 it's coming through. Yes, John Hill and Knowlton on the line 2554 02:31:13,560 --> 02:31:16,680 for you.

There's all kinds of 2556 02:31:22,530 --> 02:31:25,170 interesting little reports that are going on. But my favorite 2557 02:31:25,170 --> 02:31:27,840 is, we have to get into it. But you know, the small house 2558 02:31:27,840 --> 02:31:30,300 movement, the tiny house movement that people are into, 2559 02:31:30,300 --> 02:31:32,910 like be able to be really a minimalist TV show. You show. 2560 02:31:32,910 --> 02:31:36,360 Yeah. You know what that is now? Excuse me? That is poverty 2561 02:31:36,360 --> 02:31:41,850 appropriation and it's not okay. I'm not kidding. It's poverty, 2562 02:31:41,880 --> 02:31:42,960 appropriation. 2563 02:31:43,320 --> 02:31:46,620 And when has done that. And 2564 02:31:46,980 --> 02:31:54,120 the University of Arizona has now set up a little extra cash, 2565 02:31:54,630 --> 02:31:59,580 you know, work study program, as you can become a social justice 2566 02:31:59,610 --> 02:32:06,600 advocate.

And that is reporting on your fellow students for by a 2571 02:32:23,700 --> 02:32:28,770 niche. Yes. My snitch brown shirts, and it starts starts at 2572 02:32:28,770 --> 02:32:32,400 the universities. And before you know it, I can get kicked out of 2573 02:32:32,400 --> 02:32:35,130 the apartment building. If anyone heard this shit. I say 2574 02:32:37,020 --> 02:32:43,590 you could the bias incident report. Office. Beautiful. Your 2575 02:32:43,590 --> 02:32:44,010 apartment 2576 02:32:44,010 --> 02:32:46,140 building has a bias incident report. 2577 02:32:46,140 --> 02:32:49,680 No. What's that? That's next. That's that's next you know it's 2578 02:32:49,680 --> 02:32:50,100 coming. 2579 02:32:50,790 --> 02:32:52,530 It is this is where Cuba No. 2580 02:32:54,090 --> 02:32:58,470 Comrade. Now back to the Adam Curtis documentary. There's one 2581 02:32:58,470 --> 02:33:01,320 thing that stuck out. And you have you may have seen it you 2582 02:33:01,320 --> 02:33:03,000 don't remember doesn't matter. It's called hyper normal 2583 02:33:03,000 --> 02:33:07,410 normalization. And in it, it taught me to talk a lot about 2584 02:33:07,410 --> 02:33:09,270 the control of the computer industry, the bank, the 2585 02:33:09,270 --> 02:33:11,250 financial industry in the computer industry. And when you 2586 02:33:11,250 --> 02:33:16,740 look at Europe, European Union, it really comes together in your 2587 02:33:16,740 --> 02:33:20,490 head, the US is not great. But with the EU, the way it was set 2588 02:33:20,490 --> 02:33:23,940 up was all around finances and screw you we don't know. That's 2589 02:33:23,940 --> 02:33:27,090 why no one has any power in government. The banks determine 2590 02:33:27,090 --> 02:33:31,440 what goes on the financial institutions. But in the early 2591 02:33:31,440 --> 02:33:36,450 days, the computers there was one particular chat bot that 2592 02:33:36,450 --> 02:33:41,010 really kind of kicked it all off created by a guy in the MIT 2593 02:33:41,010 --> 02:33:43,320 artificial Artificial Intelligence Lab, Joseph 2594 02:33:43,320 --> 02:33:46,470 Weizenbaum. And oh, Joseph. You know him? 2595 02:33:47,039 --> 02:33:48,449 Oh, yeah, no, I don't know him. 2596 02:33:48,480 --> 02:33:50,640 I don't know him. Personally, I love him, you know of him. Oh, 2597 02:33:50,640 --> 02:33:53,610 yeah, he's famous. And Weizenbaum had created a chat 2598 02:33:53,610 --> 02:33:58,830 bot named Eliza. And what he realized and Eliza was based on 2599 02:33:58,830 --> 02:34:03,270 a very simple script, which even if you listen to how, from 2001 2600 02:34:03,270 --> 02:34:03,870 Odyssey 2601 02:34:04,500 --> 02:34:08,820 to play the 70s. What? Eliza? 2602 02:34:09,210 --> 02:34:12,480 Oh, the game? Yes. And I've played I remember, when the 2603 02:34:12,480 --> 02:34:15,180 web's first cranked up. That was one of the first things oh, 2604 02:34:15,180 --> 02:34:19,230 there's a website, you can talk to Eliza. And what Eliza does is 2605 02:34:19,260 --> 02:34:22,320 is it recognizes certain keywords in your question or 2606 02:34:22,320 --> 02:34:26,880 whatever you type. And it then answers something usually with 2607 02:34:26,880 --> 02:34:31,590 another question based upon your input. So I'm feeling lonely 2608 02:34:31,590 --> 02:34:34,350 allies would say why do you feel lonely? Well, I got a problem 2609 02:34:34,350 --> 02:34:37,170 with my dad. What is it about your dad that you have a problem 2610 02:34:37,170 --> 02:34:40,530 with? So it goes on and on and on and what why isn't Heimer 2611 02:34:40,770 --> 02:34:49,200 Weizenbaum? Why isn't it with Joseph Weiss timer, realize when 2612 02:34:49,200 --> 02:34:52,530 he let his secretary sit down and use this, then he hadn't 2613 02:34:52,530 --> 02:34:54,870 told her what it was doing. Within a couple of minutes. She 2614 02:34:54,870 --> 02:34:57,090 said, Excuse me, could you please leave the room? Because 2615 02:34:57,090 --> 02:34:59,400 it's kind of personal the stuff that I'm doing here, so people 2616 02:34:59,400 --> 02:35:02,100 really Oh, buttoned up. And his conclusion from the Eliza 2617 02:35:02,100 --> 02:35:07,320 Chatbot is that people love interacting with technology, 2618 02:35:07,530 --> 02:35:12,720 when it mirrors themselves, and then boom, it everything fired 2619 02:35:12,720 --> 02:35:15,630 off the neurons went off in my head. Welcome to the selfie 2620 02:35:15,630 --> 02:35:19,320 generation. Now I understand there's something within this 2621 02:35:19,320 --> 02:35:22,890 and people can make a lot of money with this knowledge. And I 2622 02:35:22,890 --> 02:35:25,710 don't think I'm pretty sure that the Facebook people and they 2623 02:35:25,710 --> 02:35:29,520 figured it out. I don't know if they they've gone back to the 2624 02:35:29,520 --> 02:35:34,110 lot the science of Eliza. But wow, there is something within 2625 02:35:34,110 --> 02:35:38,340 us that we want to see ourselves. Because that makes us 2626 02:35:38,340 --> 02:35:42,570 feel comfortable. It makes us feel good about our about our 2627 02:35:42,570 --> 02:35:47,880 life and everything when we see ourself in everything we do. And 2628 02:35:48,150 --> 02:35:52,650 this has to a certain extent, with the access to mirroring 2629 02:35:52,680 --> 02:35:55,740 let's just call it mirroring technologies that we have an 2630 02:35:55,740 --> 02:35:59,700 entire generation, the and a part of, of a previous 2631 02:35:59,700 --> 02:36:04,320 generation who are all in on this mirroring technology, who 2632 02:36:04,320 --> 02:36:09,360 are sick and are so ill that I think the rule of thumb is, the 2633 02:36:09,360 --> 02:36:14,700 more selfies the more unsure you are in life. It sounds logical, 2634 02:36:14,730 --> 02:36:15,630 but he Oh, 2635 02:36:15,630 --> 02:36:19,500 that'd be right. That's a winner. Column. Make it tight. 2636 02:36:19,530 --> 02:36:22,560 It's I don't know if I could do it. You need a string to do it. 2637 02:36:22,590 --> 02:36:24,540 You'll make it time code because that's actually kind of an 2638 02:36:24,540 --> 02:36:24,900 interesting. 2639 02:36:25,380 --> 02:36:29,190 Code is even better. The time code is two hours. 34 minutes 2640 02:36:29,190 --> 02:36:30,330 and 56 seconds. 2641 02:36:31,680 --> 02:36:38,010 Okay, good. Nice. Anyway, finish this thought it's good that you 2642 02:36:38,010 --> 02:36:41,220 have a thing about selfies. It seems as though you hate them. 2643 02:36:41,490 --> 02:36:45,840 Oh, no, I'm just fascinated. Well, like this woman like the 2644 02:36:45,840 --> 02:36:50,190 woman who went in. I think she's looking at that video again from 2645 02:36:50,190 --> 02:36:53,640 the Confederate rug story started flag rug story. I think 2646 02:36:53,640 --> 02:36:56,490 she had a selfie stick when she came out. She's and she's 2647 02:36:56,490 --> 02:36:59,340 talking about Oh, looky looky, you know, and to me that 2648 02:36:59,340 --> 02:37:03,360 phenomenon is selfie sticks. It just blows my mind. And she was, 2649 02:37:03,540 --> 02:37:07,290 you know, she's showing herself I'm really scared right now. And 2650 02:37:07,290 --> 02:37:12,660 maybe a lot of this was kicked off by Blair Witch Hunt. Blair 2651 02:37:12,660 --> 02:37:15,090 Witch Project. That's what it was Blair Witch Project, because 2652 02:37:15,090 --> 02:37:19,140 that kind of had you know, the early personal video recorder. 2653 02:37:19,140 --> 02:37:21,570 It's like, close up, you know, I can right here. It's very 2654 02:37:21,570 --> 02:37:24,600 frightening. And it was very real, even though we know it 2655 02:37:24,600 --> 02:37:30,300 wasn't real. It was a groundbreaking film or use of 2656 02:37:30,360 --> 02:37:31,260 cinematography. Yeah, 2657 02:37:31,260 --> 02:37:33,630 it was it made most people sick. You couldn't really watch it 2658 02:37:33,630 --> 02:37:34,740 very long. Right. 2659 02:37:36,780 --> 02:37:39,570 So I wish I had a real big conclusion there. John. I wish I 2660 02:37:39,570 --> 02:37:41,250 did. But I think the 2661 02:37:41,460 --> 02:37:43,410 you dropped the ball on me. Well, 2662 02:37:43,620 --> 02:37:47,580 it was I think the takeaway is self mirroring or mirroring 2663 02:37:47,580 --> 02:37:51,360 technologies. So not social networks. These are mirroring 2664 02:37:51,360 --> 02:37:56,190 networks. The algorithms now know that you want things about 2665 02:37:56,190 --> 02:37:59,550 yourself. You want things that you you know, it's the echo 2666 02:37:59,550 --> 02:38:02,010 chambers, another way of saying it, but it comes from this 2667 02:38:02,010 --> 02:38:07,170 fundamental human need. And the more people do it, the less sure 2668 02:38:07,170 --> 02:38:11,640 they are of themselves and of themselves in the world. And it 2669 02:38:11,640 --> 02:38:15,450 shows severe mental illness. How's that for a wrap up? Who? 2670 02:38:19,500 --> 02:38:23,640 That is the There you go. Yeah. That's the kicker. 2671 02:38:24,750 --> 02:38:28,110 Now, I only got one more topic. I think we should know we have a 2672 02:38:28,110 --> 02:38:29,520 little time left. You got something here? 2673 02:38:29,970 --> 02:38:34,230 Yeah, I got plenty that right. A couple things that you mentioned 2674 02:38:34,230 --> 02:38:36,780 in what you just mentioned, do your whole thing right there. 2675 02:38:37,050 --> 02:38:41,490 plays right into this. This is the clip rent a family. 2676 02:38:42,480 --> 02:38:45,600 We entered into Japan, where a growing number of people are 2677 02:38:45,600 --> 02:38:49,920 renting people to pose his family and friends.

Self 2728 02:42:22,560 --> 02:42:25,980 marriage or salami is growing, partly because it's popping up 2729 02:42:25,980 --> 02:42:28,470 in pop culture.

I don't have anything. 2742 02:43:18,990 --> 02:43:24,420 Okay. Ah, yes, big news. And I'm very very excited what the 2743 02:43:24,450 --> 02:43:25,920 actual ruling will be. 2744 02:43:26,010 --> 02:43:29,730 The United States announced in March that electronic devices 2745 02:43:29,730 --> 02:43:33,480 larger than mobile phones would be banned from aircraft cabins 2746 02:43:33,480 --> 02:43:37,980 on flights from eight Muslim majority nations. US officials 2747 02:43:37,980 --> 02:43:41,910 said the ban wasn't introduced because of a specific threat, 2748 02:43:42,120 --> 02:43:45,900 but was based on concerns that planes might be targeted by 2749 02:43:45,900 --> 02:43:50,130 jihadis carrying explosives concealed inside laptops or 2750 02:43:50,130 --> 02:43:54,210 tablets. This week, the US Department of Homeland Security 2751 02:43:54,330 --> 02:43:58,500 said it was close to a decision on whether to extend the ban to 2752 02:43:58,500 --> 02:44:03,120 Europe. The EU says it's holding urgent talks with its American 2753 02:44:03,120 --> 02:44:07,140 counterparts to discuss the issue. Transport commissioners 2754 02:44:07,140 --> 02:44:10,500 have written to the Secretary of Homeland Security to seek 2755 02:44:10,500 --> 02:44:14,190 clarification. The European Commission says there are no 2756 02:44:14,190 --> 02:44:18,300 indications that any new threat has prompted the proposal. 2757 02:44:18,539 --> 02:44:23,249 What I want to remind you of is that there is no announcement by 2758 02:44:23,249 --> 02:44:27,899 the US authorities yet as to the extent and as to the more exact 2759 02:44:27,899 --> 02:44:33,449 plans for for this ban. But this is something that has been 2760 02:44:33,449 --> 02:44:38,009 brought to our attention and we will obviously continue are very 2761 02:44:38,009 --> 02:44:41,819 close cooperation with the US authorities on this as well as 2762 02:44:41,819 --> 02:44:42,599 on other issues. 2763 02:44:42,900 --> 02:44:45,900 European airlines and governments are concerned about 2764 02:44:45,900 --> 02:44:49,530 the potential impact an extension of the band might have 2765 02:44:49,560 --> 02:44:52,950 on what's one of the world's busiest aviation transport 2766 02:44:52,950 --> 02:44:53,460 routes. 2767 02:44:55,050 --> 02:44:57,450 There's a lot of confusion, a lot of confusion about this, 2768 02:44:57,690 --> 02:44:59,490 mainly due to lack of information. 2769 02:44:59,760 --> 02:45:00,900 Yeah And now, 2770 02:45:01,050 --> 02:45:04,320 here's why I'm interested in the story when they place the ban on 2771 02:45:04,320 --> 02:45:07,920 the eighth predominantly Muslim countries, it was on the air it 2772 02:45:07,920 --> 02:45:11,520 was because of the airports but mainly because of the airlines 2773 02:45:11,520 --> 02:45:14,820 and the security those airlines implement. And it did not 2774 02:45:14,820 --> 02:45:17,580 include US carriers US carriers. Well, you could just take your 2775 02:45:17,580 --> 02:45:21,300 laptop, no problem. My reaction, you had a different response you 2776 02:45:21,300 --> 02:45:24,630 said so we can sort through all the gear in the when we collect 2777 02:45:24,630 --> 02:45:27,630 it from everybody. I think I still think it's a putting 2778 02:45:27,630 --> 02:45:31,140 everybody on notice, we're in charge of the skies, you're 2779 02:45:31,140 --> 02:45:33,000 gonna make it we're gonna make it very difficult for you to 2780 02:45:33,000 --> 02:45:37,710 fly. And if this ruling turns out to be true, if it does 2781 02:45:37,710 --> 02:45:41,610 happen, and it's for all flights, I'll have to resend 2782 02:45:41,610 --> 02:45:44,310 that argument. Then I'll go back then I'll go to your side saying 2783 02:45:44,310 --> 02:45:49,740 cheese this is the intelligence operation. If it is only your if 2784 02:45:49,740 --> 02:45:53,580 it is non US airlines, only then I think that I can agree that 2785 02:45:53,580 --> 02:46:03,690 this is this is commercial wrangling. Right? You'd almost 2786 02:46:03,690 --> 02:46:06,270 think that all these stories about the airlines being 2787 02:46:06,450 --> 02:46:09,240 treating their passengers like crap would be a part of it. I'm 2788 02:46:09,240 --> 02:46:12,480 not sure. You heard about the woman who forced to pee in a 2789 02:46:12,480 --> 02:46:13,050 cup. 2790 02:46:14,160 --> 02:46:16,710 Remember this one headline? Oh, I wish they made 2791 02:46:16,710 --> 02:46:17,670 me pee in a cup. 2792 02:46:20,280 --> 02:46:22,980 I wish I had audio of that. But now I have the story. It 2793 02:46:22,980 --> 02:46:26,580 was a humiliating experience for this passenger on a United 2794 02:46:26,580 --> 02:46:30,930 Airlines flight. I was very embarrassed. And Nicole Harper, 2795 02:46:30,990 --> 02:46:34,350 a nurse who has a bladder condition say she wasn't allowed 2796 02:46:34,350 --> 02:46:37,050 to use the bathroom because of air turbulence. They 2797 02:46:37,050 --> 02:46:40,230 told them at that point that I would either need to use the 2798 02:46:40,230 --> 02:46:44,760 restroom or I would need a cup to PN. And they handed me at 2799 02:46:44,760 --> 02:46:46,110 that point they handed me a cup. 2800 02:46:46,290 --> 02:46:50,910 That's right. She says they told her to use a cup. Why No, 2801 02:46:51,030 --> 02:46:57,570 no. She said, I need a cup or I need to go to the bathroom. They 2802 02:46:57,570 --> 02:46:59,370 lied in this very report. 2803 02:47:00,180 --> 02:47:03,240 nurse who has a bladder condition says she wasn't 2804 02:47:03,240 --> 02:47:05,970 allowed to use the bathroom because of air turbulence. 2805 02:47:06,060 --> 02:47:09,390 They told them at that point that I would either need to use 2806 02:47:09,390 --> 02:47:12,510 the restroom or I would need a cup to PN I think 2807 02:47:13,140 --> 02:47:19,590 I think that this woman was treated extremely nicely by the 2808 02:47:19,800 --> 02:47:23,520 flight attendants by the cabinet crew that they should not be 2809 02:47:23,520 --> 02:47:27,390 standing up either. Woman Have you never read how many people 2810 02:47:27,390 --> 02:47:31,560 get seriously injured during freaky turbulence, which seems 2811 02:47:31,560 --> 02:47:35,910 to happen with some regularity. And this is for your safety and 2812 02:47:36,030 --> 02:47:38,580 the safety of other passengers around you. Because if you get 2813 02:47:38,580 --> 02:47:40,860 some turbulence and you fly up and then you're gonna come back 2814 02:47:40,860 --> 02:47:44,940 down again on somebody else, and you said well, I need to go I 2815 02:47:44,940 --> 02:47:48,690 need a cup. So all right, I'm gonna risk my my life here. And 2816 02:47:48,690 --> 02:47:51,840 other passengers lady to give you a damn cup, which she asked 2817 02:47:51,840 --> 02:47:52,290 for. 2818 02:47:52,410 --> 02:47:55,620 And they handed me at that point they handed me a cup. 2819 02:47:55,830 --> 02:47:59,970 That's right. She says they told her to use a cup right in her 2820 02:47:59,970 --> 02:48:03,480 seat. It happened on a flight from Houston to Kansas City. 2821 02:48:03,570 --> 02:48:09,270 I was able to relieve myself in the cups in my seats in aisle 2822 02:48:09,270 --> 02:48:12,780 around with, you know, my family and strangers around. 2823 02:48:13,050 --> 02:48:16,380 In a statement today. United admits the incident was 2824 02:48:16,410 --> 02:48:20,070 upsetting for all concerned. It's just the latest in what 2825 02:48:20,070 --> 02:48:23,040 seems like an epidemic of trouble for the airlines. 2826 02:48:23,130 --> 02:48:27,870 And see it's a total non story. It's fabrication fake news, in 2827 02:48:27,870 --> 02:48:33,180 fact, fake news. And and exactly the opposite. 2828 02:48:34,800 --> 02:48:37,560 The fake news story. I mean, this is the kind of crap 2829 02:48:37,560 --> 02:48:42,120 reporting we're getting. I have one here, which is got bad 2830 02:48:42,120 --> 02:48:46,020 information that comes from the big network CBS and you think 2831 02:48:46,020 --> 02:48:48,030 they're gonna give us bad information on CBS just a 2832 02:48:48,030 --> 02:48:51,180 misreport to put a little effort into an editor maybe? 2833 02:48:51,210 --> 02:48:54,150 Well, that depends. CBS is the Central Intelligence 2834 02:48:54,150 --> 02:48:57,000 Broadcasting Service. Do you think you'd have a shitty story 2835 02:48:57,000 --> 02:48:58,680 about some other intelligence service? 2836 02:48:59,279 --> 02:49:03,959 Try this.

Once they make their recommendation, President Trump 2850 02:49:45,870 --> 02:49:49,320 will select a nominee who will then seek Senate confirmation 2851 02:49:49,320 --> 02:49:49,500 Wait, 2852 02:49:50,220 --> 02:49:53,760 wait a minute, Rogers isn't isn't in government anymore. 2853 02:49:54,960 --> 02:49:59,010 Hello?

In other words they really want him in. That's 2858 02:50:11,340 --> 02:50:16,290 what I'm thinking. Less than 10 minutes to go 10 minute warning, 2859 02:50:16,290 --> 02:50:16,920 okay. 2860 02:50:16,950 --> 02:50:19,890 Mike Rogers the bonehead talk show host 2861 02:50:20,460 --> 02:50:25,140 do What a douche his name shouldn't be Mike.

How's Hellena she's still following you on Twitter. 2865 02:50:32,100 --> 02:50:33,480 Yeah. Okay. 2866 02:50:33,810 --> 02:50:36,000 Jen listen to the show. But I That's it, you know, as you 2867 02:50:36,000 --> 02:50:38,970 might, this is the world economic update. And this 2868 02:50:38,970 --> 02:50:42,480 actually interesting story is a two parter. The first clips kind 2869 02:50:42,480 --> 02:50:44,250 of short with Helena, 2870 02:50:45,029 --> 02:50:48,809 and Germany is under scrutiny to this year for its huge trade 2871 02:50:48,809 --> 02:50:52,589 surplus. Finance Minister of Wolfgang Schauble is likely to 2872 02:50:52,589 --> 02:50:54,149 face criticism at the summit. 2873 02:50:55,860 --> 02:50:58,710 You said you said the short one this is the short one. 2874 02:50:59,820 --> 02:51:02,730 Well, you put it no i i meant the whole thing was short 2875 02:51:02,730 --> 02:51:05,430 kinda Time now for some more businesses with 2876 02:51:06,270 --> 02:51:09,090 otherwise you don't get to hear Helena. Oh, well, yeah. Who 2877 02:51:09,090 --> 02:51:10,800 cares about the non Helena clip 2878 02:51:10,980 --> 02:51:12,090 time. For some 2879 02:51:12,120 --> 02:51:15,270 more business us with Helena talking about global financial 2880 02:51:15,270 --> 02:51:17,970 planning in a resort town in Italy. That's right, 2881 02:51:17,970 --> 02:51:20,460 Christopher, there are worse places for it, I think aren't 2882 02:51:20,460 --> 02:51:23,340 there now the g7 meeting of finance ministers is taking 2883 02:51:23,340 --> 02:51:27,240 place in the Italian city of body and it's got a wide ranging 2884 02:51:27,240 --> 02:51:31,290 agenda including fighting inequality, cybersecurity, very 2885 02:51:31,290 --> 02:51:34,050 pertinent at the moment of course and cutting off funding 2886 02:51:34,260 --> 02:51:38,220 for terrorism. But US Treasury chief Steve Minuchin was the 2887 02:51:38,220 --> 02:51:41,610 center of attention as ministers seek more clarity about 2888 02:51:41,610 --> 02:51:46,050 President Trump's policy plans. g7 partners urge the US to take 2889 02:51:46,050 --> 02:51:49,560 their responsibility for the global economy more seriously, 2890 02:51:49,800 --> 02:51:54,180 but not to threaten growth. Or Trump has threatened to upset 2891 02:51:54,180 --> 02:51:57,180 the group's consensus on issues including climate change and 2892 02:51:57,360 --> 02:52:00,510 protectionism. But the Italians have another agenda. 2893 02:52:02,130 --> 02:52:06,030 For host country, Italy, one issue is at the top of the g7 2894 02:52:06,030 --> 02:52:09,120 agenda, fighting economic inequality. 2895 02:52:10,950 --> 02:52:14,460 I want to draw your attention to growth and social inclusion. 2896 02:52:15,450 --> 02:52:20,190 They've become a key topic of the g7 and the G 20. I am happy 2897 02:52:20,190 --> 02:52:24,660 that Italy is pursuing these issues. Growth cannot happen 2898 02:52:24,660 --> 02:52:26,280 without social inclusion. 2899 02:52:28,560 --> 02:52:33,300 Rome's interest isn't entirely unmotivated. Brussels has just 2900 02:52:33,300 --> 02:52:36,420 ranked Italy last in the EU in terms of growth. 2901 02:52:37,680 --> 02:52:40,140 So now I'm listening to all this and the other clip, the one that 2902 02:52:40,140 --> 02:52:44,550 you've almost played, actually a better example of what is going 2903 02:52:44,550 --> 02:52:48,060 on the United States Oh, United States, we got to condemn them 2904 02:52:48,060 --> 02:52:50,880 and why I say what what we're always into growth were they 2905 02:52:50,880 --> 02:52:53,460 talking about because growth is the big theme in this particular 2906 02:52:53,460 --> 02:52:57,960 g7 is yes, yeah. And so it was like, oh, it's because we were 2907 02:52:57,960 --> 02:53:01,950 thinking of doing some protectionism. And I can't do 2908 02:53:01,950 --> 02:53:04,260 that just an ounce no protections. And then the 2909 02:53:04,260 --> 02:53:07,260 Italians, it turns out, as they said in the report that the EU 2910 02:53:07,260 --> 02:53:10,740 condemned them for having zero growth. So the Italians are 2911 02:53:10,740 --> 02:53:15,210 going well, it's because we need more equality. Yeah, it's not 2912 02:53:18,390 --> 02:53:20,880 the worst one the worst, right? And they don't bring this up on 2913 02:53:20,880 --> 02:53:25,380 the show. But there's dw by the way. And the worst one is the 2914 02:53:25,380 --> 02:53:28,560 last clip, which is about what Germany is all about. And 2915 02:53:28,560 --> 02:53:29,580 Germany is under. 2916 02:53:29,820 --> 02:53:33,570 You mean, Germany. You're not sure I'm in Germany, Chairman 2917 02:53:33,570 --> 02:53:33,780 and 2918 02:53:33,780 --> 02:53:37,290 Germany is under scrutiny to this year for its huge trade 2919 02:53:37,290 --> 02:53:41,100 surplus. Finance Minister of Wolfgang Schauble is likely to 2920 02:53:41,100 --> 02:53:44,670 face criticism at the summit. His main goal is to stop the 2921 02:53:44,670 --> 02:53:48,240 scramble to lower taxes after the US and Britain announced 2922 02:53:48,240 --> 02:53:51,480 plans to reduce corporate tax rates to boost growth. 2923 02:53:51,510 --> 02:53:55,620 Oh, yes. Boost, boost the growth. 2924 02:53:55,890 --> 02:53:59,280 So here's the deal. So Germany, which has this outrageous trade 2925 02:53:59,280 --> 02:54:02,430 surplus, they don't want us lowering our taxes from the 2926 02:54:02,430 --> 02:54:07,290 highest in the world that 35% Because God, we might actually, 2927 02:54:07,290 --> 02:54:09,750 you know, kick it up a notch and they won't be able to compete. 2928 02:54:09,870 --> 02:54:13,710 So oh, so no, the big thing is the dollar No, no, no, don't 2929 02:54:13,710 --> 02:54:16,740 change your taxes. I mean, all these guys are in it for 2930 02:54:16,740 --> 02:54:17,340 themselves. 2931 02:54:17,820 --> 02:54:22,080 Who was representing the United States? They're Tiller Mnuchin 2932 02:54:22,170 --> 02:54:25,800 Oh, Minuchin. Well, that wasn't the conference to be at. And I 2933 02:54:25,800 --> 02:54:29,430 couldn't find many reports from the conference. And I only 2934 02:54:29,430 --> 02:54:33,870 noticed that because of you. I learned it by looking you okay. 2935 02:54:35,190 --> 02:54:39,450 The Belt and Road forum in Beijing. That would be the good 2936 02:54:39,450 --> 02:54:43,320 one. Oh, my goodness. And who was prominently, not their 2937 02:54:43,320 --> 02:54:46,620 United States every Vladimir Putin is on stage talk and 2938 02:54:46,620 --> 02:54:48,900 everybody's up to hit Fifi Lagarde? 2939 02:54:48,930 --> 02:54:51,990 You know when I first heard about the road and belt 2940 02:54:51,990 --> 02:54:52,710 initiative and 2941 02:54:52,740 --> 02:54:56,250 and I have to say Fifi guard is Christine Lagarde. She's the IMF 2942 02:54:56,250 --> 02:54:57,420 head for new listeners. 2943 02:54:57,450 --> 02:55:01,050 You know when I first heard about the road belt initiative 2944 02:55:01,050 --> 02:55:06,180 and read about it. Of course you think of silk, silk Yes, I 2945 02:55:06,180 --> 02:55:11,940 thought of t. Y T. White T well because it's whether you are in 2946 02:55:11,940 --> 02:55:14,670 Beijing whether you're in Moscow, whether you're in London 2947 02:55:14,670 --> 02:55:18,510 whether you're in Nairobi, or whether you are pretty much 2948 02:55:18,540 --> 02:55:24,810 anywhere Jakarta Marrakech tea is shared, tea is necessary tea 2949 02:55:24,810 --> 02:55:29,010 is inclusive, and tea is an instrument of cooperation 2950 02:55:29,010 --> 02:55:32,970 amongst the people. For centuries, tea has brought 2951 02:55:32,970 --> 02:55:37,440 cultures, community and people together. It has also connected 2952 02:55:37,440 --> 02:55:41,730 economies through trade and investment. And only recently, 2953 02:55:42,390 --> 02:55:48,600 Chinese scientists have unlocked the genetic secrets of the tea 2954 02:55:48,600 --> 02:55:54,480 plant. raising the prospect that we may soon enjoy a range of new 2955 02:55:54,480 --> 02:55:55,290 flavors. 2956 02:55:57,270 --> 02:56:02,220 I'm just gonna stop it there. Raise this is very obvious. What 2957 02:56:02,220 --> 02:56:06,750 is she stoned? It's that's exactly what this is about. She 2958 02:56:06,750 --> 02:56:09,330 doesn't mean tea. It's a metaphor. We're gonna have lots 2959 02:56:09,330 --> 02:56:17,640 of new flavors. It's about heroin. White tea. Hello. This 2960 02:56:17,640 --> 02:56:22,500 is about heroin. John. This is a global heroin conspiracy and 2961 02:56:22,710 --> 02:56:26,820 also known as tea and she say Oh, scientist just did you know 2962 02:56:26,820 --> 02:56:30,270 about that you drink tea. Did you know The scientists unlocked 2963 02:56:30,270 --> 02:56:34,740 the the magic of tea the DNA and now will have different flavors. 2964 02:56:35,160 --> 02:56:38,820 Maybe she's talking about fentanyl flavor crystals because 2965 02:56:38,850 --> 02:56:41,070 you know, China White is fentanyl. 2966 02:56:41,730 --> 02:56:44,160 There you go. It could be fentanyl. But it makes more 2967 02:56:44,160 --> 02:56:48,450 sense of my story if it's the if it's the real deal. And it could 2968 02:56:48,450 --> 02:56:51,450 be but maybe maybe because we're not there perhaps it's a we got 2969 02:56:51,450 --> 02:56:54,360 to fight these these bros over there with their real heroin. 2970 02:56:54,690 --> 02:56:57,960 Let's do that. I don't think the world The world wants to keep 2971 02:56:57,960 --> 02:57:00,540 letting the CIA run this whole thing and they like to do it 2972 02:57:00,540 --> 02:57:03,870 themselves and they can make fentanyl getting does the same 2973 02:57:03,870 --> 02:57:08,100 thing.
