WEBVTT

1
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Get ready.

2
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:17.239
<v Speaker 2>Okay, March eighteen, twenty twenty five, allegedly, according to that

3
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.879
<v Speaker 2>thing we call a calendar, This the O'Kelly effect. You

4
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:24.760
<v Speaker 2>if you found this show, you know what you're listening to. Okay,

5
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:26.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know why I tell you the name

6
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:28.160
<v Speaker 2>of the show at the top, but it is a

7
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Teesday Tuesday, and we started broadcasting on Sunday. We did

8
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.039
<v Speaker 2>two shows on Sunday. I've already released those podcasts, so

9
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.119
<v Speaker 2>they're out there already for your perusal, and they are

10
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.840
<v Speaker 2>being replayed on the twenty four to seven Ocelly dot

11
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Com radio station Anyway News Today. Where should I begin?

12
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 2>Do I want to begin with my favorite headline of

13
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:52.439
<v Speaker 2>the day, or should I begin with the concept of

14
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 2>the day and the news and so on and so forth. Well,

15
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 2>it is my show, so I can do whatever the

16
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.520
<v Speaker 2>hell I want. Right, how about we begin with war

17
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 2>and peace and let's see if you can pick up

18
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 2>on the theme or the thematic existence that we find

19
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>ourselves in during this part of the information age. Okay,

20
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>in war and peace, let's go there first. Russia Ukraine

21
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 2>war updates. Right, There's lots to be said there, you know,

22
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Zelensky sat down right and went to the table, as

23
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:29.519
<v Speaker 2>they say, definitely, you know, gave some concessions, et cetera.

24
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 2>And now there's a back and forth going on with Russia.

25
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Of course, the ceasefire not so absolute and unconditional as

26
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>it was first reported, et cetera, but a work in progress.

27
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 2>Once again, should we go to other things that are happening.

28
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Do we need to talk about what happened in Yemen?

29
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I think you can get that coverage elsewhere. But we

30
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>do know that the US struck what they are calling

31
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.519
<v Speaker 2>Houthi targets in Yemen, and there was a retaliation from

32
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 2>the Huthis allegedly, and I do say allegedly because in

33
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 2>previous times there have been reports of the Hoothis attacking

34
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 2>from US well favoring sources out there, et cetera, that

35
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>proved to not be necessarily true. Then there were other

36
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>times that the Houthis lied and said they did stuff

37
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.439
<v Speaker 2>that they didn't actually do. So it's interesting. Lots of

38
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.199
<v Speaker 2>sweeping declarations out there about what's going on in Yemen.

39
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Only thing we know for certain is that the Trump

40
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 2>administration has gotten active once again, claiming that US interests

41
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 2>have been interfered with by the Houthis and in the

42
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 2>Yemeny conflict and all that genocide going on over there, which, oh,

43
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 2>by the way, they're not calling it a genocide just yet,

44
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>but it seems like history will call it that. Maybe

45
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>it depends on who actually writes the history. Right, anyway,

46
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.840
<v Speaker 2>that's happening, and we are actively involved there, what else

47
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.840
<v Speaker 2>are we, allegedly the wi you know, the Wei in

48
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 2>air quotes again actively involved in? Well, how about Israel

49
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 2>attacks on God amped up? A lot A lot of

50
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>people are trying to focus in the digital media, the

51
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 2>criminal excuse me, corporate media out there. Those people are

52
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 2>trying to tell you that a lot of children were killed.

53
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.080
<v Speaker 2>And I don't doubt it, because there's a lot of

54
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.479
<v Speaker 2>children in the population in Gaza, in Palestine, et cetera.

55
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.840
<v Speaker 2>But what is the circumstance there? There was supposed to

56
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 2>be a ceasefire. Well, doesn't look like that's happening. NETANYAHUO

57
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 2>has fired a couple of his people over there, et cetera,

58
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.000
<v Speaker 2>et cetera, and still a work in progress, lots of

59
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>sweeping declarations and not a lot being accomplished right away, right,

60
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.400
<v Speaker 2>So isn't it fascinating about sweeping declarations and accomplishments because

61
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 2>the Trump administration now wants to challenge something. Guess what,

62
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 2>the pardons from the Biden administration. I don't recall ever

63
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 2>presidents challenging the pardons of other presidents. I mean, we've

64
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>had this customary thing, and on their way out the door,

65
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.039
<v Speaker 2>a lot of them make a lot of pardons, and

66
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.280
<v Speaker 2>it does happen. Now, of course, there's a lot more contromaisy,

67
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>if you will, to the pardons from the Biden administration,

68
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.960
<v Speaker 2>because it was his family, his people, Anthony Fauci, the

69
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 2>people investigating the J six situation, et cetera. And Trump

70
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.160
<v Speaker 2>thinks a lot of those should be avoided because of

71
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 2>the autopen. What is the autopen? If you don't know,

72
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 2>a lot of times, you know, people that sign a

73
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.439
<v Speaker 2>lot of autographs one way or another, whether it's a

74
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>baseball star or it's the president of the United States,

75
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 2>uses a machine that duplicates their signature, but it's supposed

76
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:40.399
<v Speaker 2>to be with their authorization, their knowledge. And of course,

77
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.560
<v Speaker 2>what Trump is floating out there right now to see

78
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 2>how well it floats, is to see if the idea

79
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:51.160
<v Speaker 2>that since Biden was incapacitated clearly during part of his

80
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>term or part of the day, or you know, whichever

81
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.800
<v Speaker 2>narrative you want to go with that they're now admitting to.

82
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Could he have actually made the decision to allow the

83
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 2>autopen to be us used in his name? So that's

84
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.959
<v Speaker 2>what he's going after. Is there a legal precedent for it?

85
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 2>Is there a precedent for it at all? Well, who

86
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 2>the hell knows? And who the hell cares? Is it

87
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 2>a logical question? Well, again, sweeping declaration, but not sure

88
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 2>what's gonna get done. I did happen to get a

89
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 2>news story which was being referenced many, many times by

90
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people, and I found that that news

91
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 2>story was actually done a month ago, and people are

92
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.759
<v Speaker 2>now referencing it heavily because in defense of Trump right,

93
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Newsweek put out something that said, look, Americans, and this

94
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>is the headline, Americans who think Country on Right track

95
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>breaks twenty year trend polster. Okay, now this is in

96
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 2>February this year, all right, And now I got to

97
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.800
<v Speaker 2>try and get rid of this. Yeah, there we go.

98
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.600
<v Speaker 2>A survey from conservative leaning This is from the Newsweek article,

99
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 2>and all of these links. By the way, that I'm

100
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 2>referencing in the headlines I'm referencing. I'll put in the

101
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.600
<v Speaker 2>show notes, and I'll even drop a few in the

102
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.600
<v Speaker 2>chat at Ochelly dot com as I go, so you

103
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 2>can always roll that back and check it out. I'll

104
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.160
<v Speaker 2>put the one in there now, I guess, and you

105
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 2>guys can take a look at the February fourteenth published

106
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.519
<v Speaker 2>story in Newsweek if you like, and I'm gonna read

107
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.560
<v Speaker 2>from it now just a bit, right. A survey from

108
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 2>conservative leaning polster Rasmussen Reports showed a plurality of Americans

109
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.560
<v Speaker 2>believing the country is on the right track for the

110
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.600
<v Speaker 2>first time into two decades. This week, Newsweek reached out

111
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:40.000
<v Speaker 2>to the White House. Okay, I gotta pause, not just

112
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.839
<v Speaker 2>because I'm having hiccups or whatever this is, but because

113
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.680
<v Speaker 2>it's weird, right, because we're on the right track and

114
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:52.120
<v Speaker 2>this was published, let's see February fourteen, I believe. Let's

115
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:53.920
<v Speaker 2>just take a look and the author I'll give you

116
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.439
<v Speaker 2>in a second. Yeah, published February fourteenth, and then updated

117
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.319
<v Speaker 2>February fourteenth a couple hours later. The author there is

118
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Stanton anyways, and this is under He's a weekend

119
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.199
<v Speaker 2>staff writer at Newsweek. All right, and Newsweek again is

120
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.439
<v Speaker 2>one of those generally accepted vanilla kinda places and all

121
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.519
<v Speaker 2>that I find it weird that a survey from conservative

122
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 2>leaning polster Rasmussen, Okay, quoting again from the very opening

123
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>of the article conservative leaning polster. Well, depending on who

124
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 2>you're talking to all the time, ras Mussen's either a stable,

125
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:33.160
<v Speaker 2>nonpartisan sort of a polster, or they're leaning left or

126
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.759
<v Speaker 2>they're leaning right, depending on your purposes. So one size

127
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.160
<v Speaker 2>fits all. Rasmussen does collect numbers in a fairly ethical way,

128
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.240
<v Speaker 2>so they're polls I would take seriously as a sampling

129
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.439
<v Speaker 2>of the population personally. There's my view on it. I

130
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>know that's not popular among you know, the all and

131
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:54.480
<v Speaker 2>outsider media, but dud Rasmussen does do some pretty good

132
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 2>polls anyways. President Donald Trump moved quickly to an act

133
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Speaker 2>of sweeping conservative agenda in the early days of his

134
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.800
<v Speaker 2>second term. He has focused on cutting diversity, equity and

135
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Inclusion DEI of course programs, efforts to deport migrants living

136
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:10.920
<v Speaker 2>in the US who entered the country illegally, and major

137
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.920
<v Speaker 2>cuts to government agencies. Polls offered miss mixed signals about

138
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.920
<v Speaker 2>public opinion on these actions. Americans are genuinely skeptical of

139
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:23.079
<v Speaker 2>billionaire Elon Musk's influence on Trump, and don't agree with

140
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Speaker 2>some of his policies. Trump's high approval rating is fading,

141
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 2>according to five thirty eight's polling Agent aggregate excuse me

142
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>five thirty eighths polling aggregate, which showed forty nine percent

143
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.759
<v Speaker 2>of Americans approve of him while forty five point seven

144
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:45.919
<v Speaker 2>percent disapproved of him. On Friday, What to Know, Rasmussen,

145
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.720
<v Speaker 2>which is generally viewed as having a conservative slant, released

146
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.320
<v Speaker 2>a poll showing that a plurality of Americans believe the

147
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:54.440
<v Speaker 2>country is on the right track. The pollster see, this

148
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.080
<v Speaker 2>is them repeating and repeating, and this is what a

149
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:59.440
<v Speaker 2>staff writer does. But I swear to God, it's like

150
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:05.039
<v Speaker 2>an AI. Has this guy even real? A poll from

151
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Ugov and the Economists, conducted among fifteen and ninety five

152
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.360
<v Speaker 2>adults from February nine to February eleven, showed just thirty

153
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 2>five percent of Americans believing the country is on the

154
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.360
<v Speaker 2>right track, compared to fifty two percent who believe the

155
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:22.600
<v Speaker 2>country is headed in the wrong direction. See contradictory information.

156
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.919
<v Speaker 2>After they pound you instantly with a whole bunch of

157
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>stuff and misleads you with the sweeping headline. Right, and

158
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:34.519
<v Speaker 2>again this is published a month ago. Now my personal observation,

159
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.600
<v Speaker 2>generally speaking, not a scientific sample, but looks to me

160
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.720
<v Speaker 2>like people are approving mostly of what he's doing, or

161
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:45.440
<v Speaker 2>at least the spirit of it. Now people have questions

162
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.440
<v Speaker 2>about the weirdness of stuff like the Ukraine Russia ceasefire

163
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.120
<v Speaker 2>and all that kind of thing. And today allegedly Trump

164
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.720
<v Speaker 2>was making a call, but it's a busy day in

165
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.840
<v Speaker 2>DC because I got a whole lot of other stuff

166
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.080
<v Speaker 2>to get to here. Okay, just saying anyway, let's go

167
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:04.720
<v Speaker 2>back to the headlines, because again, are you starting to

168
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:09.480
<v Speaker 2>notice a trend? Will doze lose more money than it saves?

169
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Now that's a news nation now dot COM's news story. Okay,

170
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it was published yesterday, but let's just take

171
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:19.759
<v Speaker 2>a look real fast. I don't want to be inaccurate

172
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:23.879
<v Speaker 2>about it. And yeah, there are people starting to look

173
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 2>at the numbers and ask questions, is those going to

174
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.399
<v Speaker 2>wind up costing money because of the way it's doing stuff.

175
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Because it's again not that people don't want cuts in

176
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.879
<v Speaker 2>government waste and fraud and bs and all that, and

177
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.879
<v Speaker 2>everybody points to programs that they think are stupid, pointless

178
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:45.320
<v Speaker 2>and ridiculous. Of course we do. Everybody I know that

179
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 2>even looks at what government does says stuff like this.

180
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 2>We all agree that something needs to be cut. Now,

181
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we may all disagree on what, but there's

182
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.440
<v Speaker 2>definitely stuff that we find ridiculous in government spending and

183
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.840
<v Speaker 2>say to ourselves all the time, it would be nice

184
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:03.960
<v Speaker 2>if they would cut this stuff out. So here's your

185
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Doge unelected official billionaire, but you know Doge anyway, Doge

186
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:15.279
<v Speaker 2>cuts can hinder weather forecasting, internal revenue service layoffs, DHS

187
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:20.559
<v Speaker 2>revokes visa. One Columbian student arrests another pro Palestinian protester.

188
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh geez, do I even want to get into that

189
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.600
<v Speaker 2>story because weird thing there. And I'm just gonna make

190
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:29.200
<v Speaker 2>this quick statement, even though I'm actually saving that new

191
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 2>story for another program. And the Muhammed whatever the dude was, Okay,

192
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 2>that guy there, Khalil, All right, Yeah, they don't have

193
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:40.879
<v Speaker 2>a crime that he committed. Other people were telling me

194
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.840
<v Speaker 2>he committed a crime. But believe it or not, they're

195
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.960
<v Speaker 2>just going after him for anti Semitism and saying, you're

196
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.200
<v Speaker 2>a guest here and you gotta go. And at first

197
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.159
<v Speaker 2>they thought he was on a student visa. They had

198
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.679
<v Speaker 2>that wrong and found out he had a green card.

199
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:58.519
<v Speaker 2>Then they said, well, we'll revoke that too. He had

200
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:00.919
<v Speaker 2>a student visa at one point, but actually got a

201
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 2>green card by marrying somebody, and so he was here

202
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:11.679
<v Speaker 2>under different circumstances than what people initially said. But anyway,

203
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:14.559
<v Speaker 2>does that matter at this point? Not much. The wini

204
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:18.519
<v Speaker 2>dogs are barking, but you know, the idea that they

205
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.840
<v Speaker 2>can declare somebody a terrorist because they're anti Semitic, which,

206
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.919
<v Speaker 2>by the way, there's no law against anti semitism so

207
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.320
<v Speaker 2>long as you're not encouraging or directing violence against people. So,

208
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, as despicable as it might be, as terrible

209
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.039
<v Speaker 2>as you might think it is, he actually doesn't have

210
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.799
<v Speaker 2>a technical charge against him, that guy. So I don't know,

211
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, I got my views on that, and maybe

212
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:48.399
<v Speaker 2>they're a little liberal, but maybe not, because I don't

213
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.559
<v Speaker 2>know what the hell of liberal is anymore, do you. Anyway,

214
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.679
<v Speaker 2>Let's get to something that my listeners might actually care about.

215
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:02.039
<v Speaker 2>How about that for a change? Right just a short

216
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:06.120
<v Speaker 2>time ago, two day in fact, this is the big headline,

217
00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:11.200
<v Speaker 2>and this is generally repeated and redrafted and regrafted headline

218
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:17.200
<v Speaker 2>out there JFK files released by Trump administration related to assassination. Okay,

219
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:20.759
<v Speaker 2>that's the most benign headline that I've seen Washington. And

220
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing. I'm reading from a CBS article, But

221
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:26.720
<v Speaker 2>there are various articles out there about it, and I'll

222
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.679
<v Speaker 2>drop that in the live chat, and again all this

223
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.360
<v Speaker 2>stuff will be linked up in the in the show notes,

224
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.240
<v Speaker 2>all right, so you'll be able to follow all the

225
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:38.759
<v Speaker 2>things that I decided to sample so that I could

226
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.279
<v Speaker 2>get a glimpse of what's happening. Which, by the way,

227
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually involved with some of the people that are

228
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:48.080
<v Speaker 2>going to do the initial examinations of this stuff, and

229
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:51.960
<v Speaker 2>there's been over one thousand PDFs that are in the

230
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:57.240
<v Speaker 2>process of being released as I speak. Okay, so let's

231
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.600
<v Speaker 2>get some perspective here. Everybody's going, hey, he did it.

232
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.480
<v Speaker 2>He followed through. We followed through with his campaign promise.

233
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:08.039
<v Speaker 2>That remains to be seen if the substance actually follows through.

234
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:11.639
<v Speaker 2>And I have maintained this skepticism no matter who is

235
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:17.360
<v Speaker 2>in the office, right still do Anyway, we just got

236
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:21.080
<v Speaker 2>stuff dropped electronically. It's being made available allegedly in person.

237
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:24.039
<v Speaker 2>It's being made available. I don't have confirmation on that,

238
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:25.960
<v Speaker 2>but let's just take their word for it for a

239
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:29.960
<v Speaker 2>moment and get to the big pronouncement, which was apparently

240
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.840
<v Speaker 2>ready to roll, and everybody had a slightly differing version

241
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.720
<v Speaker 2>of this ready to drop. This evening, which they did

242
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:43.000
<v Speaker 2>sometime between an hour ago and two hours ago, is

243
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:47.639
<v Speaker 2>when this stuff started becoming available online. But it's in

244
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:50.679
<v Speaker 2>the process of being released. Okay, just letting you know that,

245
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.399
<v Speaker 2>that's me. But let's look at the CBS news story Washington.

246
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>The Trump administration on Tuesday evening released tens of thousands

247
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.480
<v Speaker 2>of pages of government documents related to the in nineteen

248
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:05.320
<v Speaker 2>sixty three assassination of President John F. Kennedy Junior. Which

249
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:10.279
<v Speaker 2>is stupid, CBS. The assassination was not of John F.

250
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:16.159
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy Junior. It was of John F. Kennedy. Oh, CBS,

251
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:17.799
<v Speaker 2>you see that. This is where you got a guy

252
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.559
<v Speaker 2>writing an article that has no idea what he's writing about.

253
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:23.679
<v Speaker 2>It's not John F. Kennedy Junior. John F. Kennedy Junior

254
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:28.879
<v Speaker 2>died in a plane crash. Okay, not in nineteen sixty three,

255
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:33.320
<v Speaker 2>and nobody was looking for those files, at least not

256
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.559
<v Speaker 2>the Trump administration or the federal government. Thank you, John F.

257
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy Junior. It says, I'm not kidding you guys. I

258
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:47.559
<v Speaker 2>should screenshot it anyway. Weeks after President Trump ordered government

259
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:51.879
<v Speaker 2>agencies to unveil their JFK files to the public, the

260
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>documents were uploaded by the National Archives and Records Administration NORA,

261
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.840
<v Speaker 2>and the agency responsible for housing the government's collection of

262
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:05.120
<v Speaker 2>records related to the assassination. The Archives said Tuesday of

263
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:09.200
<v Speaker 2>the JFK files that quote all records previously withheld for

264
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:14.919
<v Speaker 2>classification end quote have been released. Shortly after taking office

265
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.559
<v Speaker 2>in January, the President took executive action to establish a

266
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.840
<v Speaker 2>process to declassify and release any remaining documents related to

267
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy's killing, as well as the assassination of Robert F.

268
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.639
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy and Martin Luther King Junior. The order instructed the

269
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Director of National Intelligence and Attorney General to present the

270
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.639
<v Speaker 2>President with a plan for the full and complete release

271
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.519
<v Speaker 2>of records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

272
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Thank god they didn't put a junior on the end

273
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:46.639
<v Speaker 2>of that one. Last month, the FBI said it had

274
00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:50.399
<v Speaker 2>discovered roughly twy four hundred records related to the assassination.

275
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:55.799
<v Speaker 2>During assert stemming from mister Trump's executive action, mister Trump

276
00:16:55.879 --> 00:17:00.360
<v Speaker 2>estimated the new files contain roughly eighty thousand pages. BS

277
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.279
<v Speaker 2>News as a team of reporters sifting through the records

278
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:08.200
<v Speaker 2>to identify what documents contain new information. Many of the

279
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.640
<v Speaker 2>records were expected to be unredacted versions of documents that

280
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:16.039
<v Speaker 2>have been previously released but partially obscured in the past.

281
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Various investigations into the JFK assassination over the years, some

282
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:24.319
<v Speaker 2>as recently as the nineteen nineties, swept up classified information

283
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 2>that dealt with the intelligence gathering methods and friendly foreign

284
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:33.759
<v Speaker 2>governments but were not directly linked to the assassination. Portions

285
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.720
<v Speaker 2>of documents and some entire records had remained classified for

286
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:42.880
<v Speaker 2>decades to protect sources and methods. Okay, I'm gonna stop,

287
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:48.240
<v Speaker 2>because now we're just into CIA talking points. Okay, we

288
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:50.799
<v Speaker 2>needed to protect sources and methods in the nineties and

289
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:55.480
<v Speaker 2>in the early two thousands and in the twenty tens. Anyway,

290
00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:59.400
<v Speaker 2>CBS tells you that according to the Mary Pharaoh Fou Foundation,

291
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.240
<v Speaker 2>and I'm scared hipping through the article a bit. The

292
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:05.559
<v Speaker 2>documents have been uploaded to a portal and they're being

293
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 2>maintained at the National Archives, and you can find them here.

294
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:10.759
<v Speaker 2>They give you a hot link. They also tell you

295
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.480
<v Speaker 2>that you know you got a link to the Mary

296
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Pharaoll Foundation. They describe it as a nonprofit that compiles

297
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:20.880
<v Speaker 2>historical government records about the JFK assassination and other events.

298
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.799
<v Speaker 2>Roughly three thousand, five hundred documents in the official collection

299
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:30.079
<v Speaker 2>contained redactions before the latest release, about seventy five percent

300
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.200
<v Speaker 2>of those records were produced by the CIA. More than

301
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:36.680
<v Speaker 2>five hundred other records were withheld from public release entirely.

302
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.960
<v Speaker 2>The Mary Paroll Foundation runs its own JFK Documents repository

303
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.160
<v Speaker 2>on its website, which has deeper search functions for exploring

304
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.839
<v Speaker 2>the trobe of records. It's interesting they give them credit.

305
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.319
<v Speaker 2>The group typically adds new documents shortly after they are

306
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:57.240
<v Speaker 2>released by the Archives. Why did Trump release the JFK files?

307
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Mister Trump campaigned on declassifying and release records related to

308
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.519
<v Speaker 2>the JFK assassination in part two to his political alliance

309
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:08.720
<v Speaker 2>with Robert F. Kennedy Junior, who has long called for

310
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:13.519
<v Speaker 2>more transparency about the assassinations that killed his uncle and father.

311
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:16.559
<v Speaker 2>Then they give you a history about the arb and

312
00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.960
<v Speaker 2>all that, And what I'm going to do instead is

313
00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:25.960
<v Speaker 2>go and take a look at the executive order. Okay,

314
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.759
<v Speaker 2>now again skipping through just a bit, because I want

315
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.799
<v Speaker 2>to get to the actual process, right, policy and purpose.

316
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.319
<v Speaker 2>He gives you a whole thing about why things should

317
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:39.880
<v Speaker 2>be done, criticizes Biden all that, But let's get the

318
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Section two of the Executive Order Declassification and Disclosure. Within

319
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.400
<v Speaker 2>fifteen days of the date of this order, the Director

320
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 2>of National Intelligence and the Attorney General shell, in coordination

321
00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:54.640
<v Speaker 2>with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs

322
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:58.680
<v Speaker 2>and the Counsel to the President president a plan to

323
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.039
<v Speaker 2>present excuse me, he planned to the President for the

324
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:05.200
<v Speaker 2>full and complete release of records relating to the assassination

325
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:09.240
<v Speaker 2>of President John F. Kennedy within forty five days of

326
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:11.720
<v Speaker 2>the date of this order. The Director of National Intelligence

327
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:16.200
<v Speaker 2>and Attorney General shall Yeah, here we go, he repeats himself.

328
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:19.960
<v Speaker 2>But why because he needs to tell you, with the

329
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.559
<v Speaker 2>assistance of the President for National Security. Okay, Counsel to

330
00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:28.359
<v Speaker 2>the President reviews records. Okay, Why because he's repeating it?

331
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Because now records related to the assassination of Senator Robert F.

332
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy and Reverend doctor Martin Luther King Junior, and present

333
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:40.240
<v Speaker 2>a plan to the President for the full and complete

334
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:43.079
<v Speaker 2>release of these records. He wanted that plan presented to

335
00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:47.480
<v Speaker 2>him in fifteen days. General provisions. Nothing in this Order

336
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:51.599
<v Speaker 2>shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect one the

337
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:55.000
<v Speaker 2>authority granted by law to an executive department or agency

338
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.680
<v Speaker 2>or the head thereof, or the functions of the Director

339
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:02.519
<v Speaker 2>of the Office of Management and Budget relating to the

340
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:10.319
<v Speaker 2>budgetary administration or legislative proposals b. This Order shall be

341
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:14.960
<v Speaker 2>implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability

342
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:19.599
<v Speaker 2>of appropriations. See. This Order is not intended to and

343
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:24.279
<v Speaker 2>does not create, any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,

344
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.119
<v Speaker 2>enforceable at law or inequity by any party against the

345
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:34.400
<v Speaker 2>United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees,

346
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:39.119
<v Speaker 2>or agents, or other persons anyway. Poll out of legal

347
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.799
<v Speaker 2>mumbo jumbo at the bottom. But what the core of

348
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:48.319
<v Speaker 2>this is. When we go back to section one and

349
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:51.880
<v Speaker 2>he talks about the JFK Records Collection Act, the President

350
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:55.279
<v Speaker 2>John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of nineteen ninety

351
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:59.160
<v Speaker 2>two required all records related to the assassination of President

352
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy two be publicly disclosed in full by October twenty sixth,

353
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:09.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen, unless the President certifies that continued postponement is

354
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:13.240
<v Speaker 2>made necessary by an identifiable harm to the military, defense,

355
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:18.759
<v Speaker 2>intelligence operations, law enforcement, or conduct of foreign relations. And

356
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:23.000
<v Speaker 2>section two of this subsection two excuse me the identifiable

357
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:26.599
<v Speaker 2>harm is of such gravity that it outweighs the public

358
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.640
<v Speaker 2>interest and disclosure. President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection

359
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Act of nineteen ninety two, Section five G two D.

360
00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Public Law one oh two five twenty six, one oh six,

361
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:47.759
<v Speaker 2>Statute three forty four three Comma three four four eight

362
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:54.079
<v Speaker 2>to forty nine, codified at forty four USC. Twenty one seven.

363
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Note I previously accepted proposed redactions from executive departments and

364
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:03.039
<v Speaker 2>agencies in twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, but ordered the

365
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:08.279
<v Speaker 2>continued reevaluation of those remaining reactions see temporary certification for

366
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:12.920
<v Speaker 2>certain records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Yeah,

367
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:16.559
<v Speaker 2>he did that in twenty seventeen. Where we were waiting

368
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:20.319
<v Speaker 2>all that time, and here is what he says has

369
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:22.759
<v Speaker 2>changed since then, after a bunch of other you know,

370
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:28.480
<v Speaker 2>you know references to the different regulatory things. April twenty six,

371
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:31.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty okay, I also ordered agencies to re review each

372
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:34.559
<v Speaker 2>of those reactions over the next three years and disclose

373
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:39.119
<v Speaker 2>information that no longer warrants continued withholding under the standard

374
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:43.359
<v Speaker 2>set forth in that part of the Records Collection Act

375
00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:48.279
<v Speaker 2>of nineteen ninety two. President Biden issued subsequent certifications with

376
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.039
<v Speaker 2>respect to these records in twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two,

377
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:55.759
<v Speaker 2>and twenty twenty three, which gave agencies additional time to

378
00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:02.200
<v Speaker 2>review the records and withhold information from public disclosure. Anyway,

379
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:05.319
<v Speaker 2>I have now determined, and I'm skipping again. I have

380
00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:09.920
<v Speaker 2>now determined that the continued reaction and withholding of information

381
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:13.079
<v Speaker 2>from records pertaining to the assassination of John F. Kennedy

382
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:16.640
<v Speaker 2>is not consistent with the public interest, and the release

383
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:20.440
<v Speaker 2>of these records is long overdue. And although no Act

384
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:23.400
<v Speaker 2>of Congress directs the release of information pertaining to the

385
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:27.720
<v Speaker 2>assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend doctor

386
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Martin Luther King, Jr. I have determined that the release

387
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:35.200
<v Speaker 2>of all records in the federal government's possession pertaining to

388
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:39.440
<v Speaker 2>each of these assassinations is also in the public interest.

389
00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:44.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, that is vagary. And what I'm telling you

390
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:47.440
<v Speaker 2>now is, don't get excited about any of that, because again,

391
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:54.319
<v Speaker 2>Robert F. Kennedy's assassination was investigated by the LAPD. See

392
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:57.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, Special Unit, Senator. I think would be a

393
00:24:57.640 --> 00:24:59.480
<v Speaker 2>good phrase to go look up. That was the original

394
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:02.000
<v Speaker 2>book title written by the guy who ran the investigation

395
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:05.960
<v Speaker 2>out of LA Martin Luther King Junior. Another story. But

396
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.119
<v Speaker 2>even though we have HSCA records still being withheld, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

397
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:14.759
<v Speaker 2>I got a funny feeling that one is not going

398
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:18.079
<v Speaker 2>to get the same attention here. So the JFK stuff

399
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:21.160
<v Speaker 2>dropped today. What do we know about it, Chuck? What

400
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.440
<v Speaker 2>do we know? Well, I'm sorry to tell you, but

401
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:26.880
<v Speaker 2>thirteen hundred PDFs I have not had a chance to read.

402
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:29.559
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I'm going to drop the entire text

403
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:33.880
<v Speaker 2>of the classification or a link to the entire text

404
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.920
<v Speaker 2>of the executive order and the official you know, President

405
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Donald J. Trump, the White House website, you know, entry

406
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:45.480
<v Speaker 2>there so that you guys can read the entirety of

407
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:49.039
<v Speaker 2>the text yourselves. But I wonder do I have a

408
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:53.000
<v Speaker 2>theme here still? I think so. Anyway, last week, my

409
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:55.480
<v Speaker 2>source has told me it's kind of funny because my

410
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:57.519
<v Speaker 2>source is being right and wrong at the same time.

411
00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Is funny. But I was told that by the twenty

412
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:05.599
<v Speaker 2>first all the JFK stuff would come out, and I

413
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:10.000
<v Speaker 2>had never been given that sort of inside information before.

414
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:12.960
<v Speaker 2>And it looks to me like, even though you know

415
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:15.680
<v Speaker 2>that all the press releases say eighty thousand pages have

416
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.319
<v Speaker 2>just been released, and President Trump followed through, and they're

417
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:21.559
<v Speaker 2>really kind of you know, don't pay no attention to

418
00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:25.720
<v Speaker 2>those extra FBI files and all that he followed through

419
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:28.480
<v Speaker 2>on his campaign promise. Yay, I got it, But we

420
00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:31.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know yet because nobody's had a chance to read

421
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:34.599
<v Speaker 2>this stuff. Compare notes. Do you understand that we have

422
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:36.920
<v Speaker 2>to go back and look at did they lift any

423
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:41.359
<v Speaker 2>new reactions? Do we have better versions of new documents

424
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:44.039
<v Speaker 2>or do we have brand new documents? Do we have

425
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:46.079
<v Speaker 2>stuff that doesn't match up? Do we have stuff that

426
00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:51.000
<v Speaker 2>now finally, you know, pages long loss seemingly have reappeared

427
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:54.240
<v Speaker 2>that we're attached to something before. This is going to

428
00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:57.480
<v Speaker 2>be a lot of compare and contrast work, and I

429
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:00.400
<v Speaker 2>do know that there is a team of researchers right

430
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:05.599
<v Speaker 2>now on it. But also the National Archives is still

431
00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:08.960
<v Speaker 2>in the process of posting this stuff. It's not all posted,

432
00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:14.599
<v Speaker 2>so relax, it's gonna take probably I would estimate a

433
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:18.759
<v Speaker 2>week before we get through all this stuff and give

434
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:23.480
<v Speaker 2>you an accurate and accurate assessment. So anybody who's declaring

435
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:30.279
<v Speaker 2>to you, hey, job done, you know Victory achieved, Yeah,

436
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:32.960
<v Speaker 2>calm down. We don't know, and we don't know if

437
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:34.920
<v Speaker 2>we got more than we asked for, like we did

438
00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:40.920
<v Speaker 2>actually strangely in twenty seventeen, where we got additional information

439
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:43.200
<v Speaker 2>we didn't ask for and a whole bunch of withholding

440
00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:45.559
<v Speaker 2>that we were waiting twenty five years for them to

441
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.640
<v Speaker 2>get to and they still held onto and Trump admittedly

442
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:51.240
<v Speaker 2>it was part of it, didn't even ask them to

443
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:53.920
<v Speaker 2>follow any you know, sort of standards they were supposed to.

444
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:56.079
<v Speaker 2>They didn't even have to fill out all the paperwork

445
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:58.400
<v Speaker 2>to get it done last time, and it was withheld

446
00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:03.720
<v Speaker 2>more just because basically the intelligence agencies asked him to. Also,

447
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:07.759
<v Speaker 2>even though I'm not a big fan of his head

448
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:13.720
<v Speaker 2>of National Intelligence. You know what, she wasn't even in

449
00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:18.200
<v Speaker 2>office yet when he was making this executive order go

450
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:21.440
<v Speaker 2>out there. She had not been confirmed as the d

451
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:25.920
<v Speaker 2>and I had right, so you still had heads and

452
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:32.319
<v Speaker 2>deputies and all kinds of people not in office. So anyway,

453
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:35.119
<v Speaker 2>I hope he doesn't start canning people at the National

454
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Archives because if they get doged, we're in big trouble

455
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:39.920
<v Speaker 2>because they don't have enough people over there to begin with,

456
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:46.519
<v Speaker 2>just saying, just saying, so where are we? There? Lots

457
00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:53.519
<v Speaker 2>of sweeping stuff, but what about the substance. It's not

458
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.839
<v Speaker 2>all there yet. You can't judge it yet. Still on

459
00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Tuesday night, I assure you we'll get there. Anyway, I

460
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.839
<v Speaker 2>could talk about AI nurses and how they're reshaping hospital

461
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:09.599
<v Speaker 2>care and people are suddenly caring about that artificial intelligence. Yeah,

462
00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:11.400
<v Speaker 2>you can get on a skype call with a nurse

463
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:13.519
<v Speaker 2>and she'll give you your advice you need, and she

464
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:18.279
<v Speaker 2>can speak every language because she's not human. Are you

465
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:20.720
<v Speaker 2>cool with that? I mean, after all, there are dating

466
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.720
<v Speaker 2>apps where you can date a artificial intelligence now, right,

467
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:27.119
<v Speaker 2>virtual girlfriend and all that, And I'm telling you it

468
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:29.359
<v Speaker 2>doesn't come with a real doll. And I can't at least,

469
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:32.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, get the full fully immersed experience. I don't care,

470
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.559
<v Speaker 2>but some people do, and they'll go this way and

471
00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:39.039
<v Speaker 2>they'll talk to a cartoon on a screen. Well animated

472
00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:43.119
<v Speaker 2>cartoon might be human looking, but it's not. Meanwhile, what

473
00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:47.480
<v Speaker 2>is resurfaced in this month the whole thing about Trump

474
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:51.480
<v Speaker 2>being an agent of the KGB ever since the nineteen eighties,

475
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:54.920
<v Speaker 2>that has gone back around and through the cycle. Bet

476
00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:57.279
<v Speaker 2>you nobody's paying attention to that. But here we go

477
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:00.359
<v Speaker 2>again with this former GRU guy who is and that

478
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:04.640
<v Speaker 2>he knows for a fact that's what it was. Does

479
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:08.519
<v Speaker 2>that have any bearing on anything? Nah? But there's lots

480
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:11.720
<v Speaker 2>of crap for the mill out there, lots and lots

481
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:13.640
<v Speaker 2>of crap. And by the way, I don't buy this

482
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:17.359
<v Speaker 2>guy's story. Do I think that Trump is kind of

483
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:19.519
<v Speaker 2>in Putin's pocket now? Yes? But do I think he's

484
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:22.599
<v Speaker 2>been there since the eighties? If so? Poor use of

485
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.240
<v Speaker 2>assets there, g Are you just saying you didn't do

486
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.519
<v Speaker 2>much with him until recent years? And it doesn't take

487
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:33.920
<v Speaker 2>thirty years to position somebody to be president, by the bye,

488
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:37.079
<v Speaker 2>It really doesn't. If you want to convince the public

489
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:38.880
<v Speaker 2>that this whole thing is real and you're just you know,

490
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:42.279
<v Speaker 2>putting a Manchuarian candidate and it doesn't take thirty years.

491
00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:47.680
<v Speaker 2>So I got my issues. Anyway, what is happening in Ukraine?

492
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Here's the problem? Do you care? Do you notice? And oh,

493
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:56.400
<v Speaker 2>by the way, are you getting any accurate reporting? Probably?

494
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:58.160
<v Speaker 1>What is the answer to all that?

495
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.839
<v Speaker 2>I bet you can guess. Anyway, I was going to

496
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:06.039
<v Speaker 2>take a look at one last little thing, and that

497
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:08.200
<v Speaker 2>is this idea that.

00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:48.519
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make me a wagon.

<v Speaker 2>So still continuing on a Tuesday, let me just take

532
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:51.640
<v Speaker 2>up a little bit more of your time and add

533
00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:55.400
<v Speaker 2>to the news stories here. Uh, just a touch. And

534
00:33:55.599 --> 00:34:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I do have another news program scheduled for Thursday, Thursday, uh, Wednesday,

535
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:03.400
<v Speaker 2>we'll have Albert Lanier on the show. On Friday, I

536
00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:06.440
<v Speaker 2>plan to do the call in show and maybe I

537
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:08.679
<v Speaker 2>won't experiment with the phone lines this week, but we

538
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:11.280
<v Speaker 2>do need to come up with some new technical solutions

539
00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:14.159
<v Speaker 2>to a couple of problems coming up because Skype is disappearing,

540
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:16.000
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know if we're going to do phone

541
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:18.960
<v Speaker 2>call shows anymore, or if we do, maybe I have

542
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:22.239
<v Speaker 2>to do them by myself. I don't know. I just

543
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:28.159
<v Speaker 2>don't know. Okay, So media Hostbusters, it's kind of like Ghostbusters,

544
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:32.000
<v Speaker 2>but the sequels may or may not suck. Your experiences

545
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:34.760
<v Speaker 2>might indeed vary. So where do I want to go

546
00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:38.480
<v Speaker 2>with this? Well? This week, okay, and literally the news

547
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:40.960
<v Speaker 2>stories dropped. What let's see the dates on these news

548
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:44.360
<v Speaker 2>stories a couple of days ago, looks like and I'll

549
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:47.880
<v Speaker 2>go with the BBC on this because they're reporting is

550
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:52.079
<v Speaker 2>concise and it's at least from another government run agency

551
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:56.280
<v Speaker 2>about a government run propaganda outlet, which is the Voice

552
00:34:56.280 --> 00:34:58.679
<v Speaker 2>of America. Now, a lot of people think of the

553
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Voice of America as just what the radio station right

554
00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:05.400
<v Speaker 2>and putting out propaganda course to try and counter the

555
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.599
<v Speaker 2>narratives of the Soviets, et cetera. And look, maybe it's

556
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:11.039
<v Speaker 2>a Cold War relic that needs to go away. Now.

557
00:35:11.039 --> 00:35:13.320
<v Speaker 2>According to Donald Trump, it was a left wing outlet

558
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:15.760
<v Speaker 2>because they did stories on gay and trans people. So

559
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:19.719
<v Speaker 2>it automatically became completely left wing and sick and disgusting

560
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:23.000
<v Speaker 2>and horrible, and they say terrible things about America. And

561
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:25.440
<v Speaker 2>that's what Trump was saying in twenty twenty one. But here,

562
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:30.119
<v Speaker 2>four years later, Donald Trump is telling us, guess what

563
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting rid of it? And how's he going to

564
00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:34.719
<v Speaker 2>do that? Well, let's take a look at the BBC

565
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:36.400
<v Speaker 2>story and see how the rest of the world is

566
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:40.000
<v Speaker 2>seeing this. US President Donald Trump has signed an ordered

567
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:45.199
<v Speaker 2>a strip back federally funded news organization Voice of America,

568
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:49.480
<v Speaker 2>accusing it of being quote anti Trump and radical end quote.

569
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:54.199
<v Speaker 2>A White House statement said the order would ensure tax

570
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:57.320
<v Speaker 2>a quote ensure taxpayers are no longer on the hook

571
00:35:57.360 --> 00:36:01.559
<v Speaker 2>for radical propaganda end quote. Alluded quotes from politicians and

572
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:06.519
<v Speaker 2>right wing media criticizing the broadcaster. VOA, still primarily a

573
00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:09.519
<v Speaker 2>radio service, was set up during World War Two to

574
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:13.599
<v Speaker 2>counter Nazi propaganda. It says it currently reaches hundreds of

575
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:18.840
<v Speaker 2>millions of people globally each week. Mike O'bramowitz, VOA's director,

576
00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:21.840
<v Speaker 2>said he and virtually his entire staff of thirteen hundred

577
00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:26.880
<v Speaker 2>people had been put on paid leave. Abramovitz said that

578
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:30.920
<v Speaker 2>the order left VOA unable to carry out its vital

579
00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:35.960
<v Speaker 2>mission quote vital mission especially critical today when America's adversaries

580
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:40.000
<v Speaker 2>like Iran, China, Russia and all that are sinking billions

581
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:43.480
<v Speaker 2>of dollars into creating false narratives to discredit the United

582
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:47.599
<v Speaker 2>States end quote. All right, now, before I go back

583
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:49.079
<v Speaker 2>to the article and go back to this guy and

584
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:51.280
<v Speaker 2>what he's saying in the National Press Club and all that,

585
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:54.599
<v Speaker 2>there is an argument to be made here that thirteen

586
00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:57.800
<v Speaker 2>hundred people don't need to be available to VOA. But

587
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:01.960
<v Speaker 2>the problem is that BOA does a lot of other stuff. Okay,

588
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:08.960
<v Speaker 2>that includes Radio Free Europe. Yeah, I got that Radio

589
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Free Europe and the Arab News Organization. I gotta take

590
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:15.719
<v Speaker 2>a look at it because I had a note for it,

591
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:19.519
<v Speaker 2>but forgot what I was saying there. Radio Liberty, Okay,

592
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:23.519
<v Speaker 2>whole bunch of organizations, including a digital news speed service

593
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:27.440
<v Speaker 2>which is out there meant to be a pro American counterweight.

594
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:31.920
<v Speaker 2>To guess what other government run outlets that are out

595
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:35.840
<v Speaker 2>there in getting international reach. RT was one of them

596
00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:39.079
<v Speaker 2>for a long time. Russia today absolutely a government run

597
00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:43.119
<v Speaker 2>thing from Russia. There are various Arab news outlets that

598
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:46.559
<v Speaker 2>are meant to only reach the people there with their

599
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:49.760
<v Speaker 2>narratives and a lot of English speaking stuff, and a

600
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:51.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of stuff that would be pro American is banned

601
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:55.239
<v Speaker 2>in a lot of places. So RT makes a point.

602
00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:59.679
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me, not RT, excuse me. VOA and it's affiliated

603
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:03.519
<v Speaker 2>groups make the point that they are the only pro

604
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:09.880
<v Speaker 2>American counter narrative out there. One would say that it

605
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:13.280
<v Speaker 2>might not be a good idea. You could reshape it,

606
00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:15.800
<v Speaker 2>you could refit it, you could change it. But when

607
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:18.159
<v Speaker 2>you've got six or seven entities, and I want to

608
00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:20.800
<v Speaker 2>look that up real fast. Actually, there's like six or

609
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:27.400
<v Speaker 2>seven entities that are connected to VOA, and I had

610
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:29.000
<v Speaker 2>it here in my notes and I don't know what

611
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:31.599
<v Speaker 2>I did with it now. But the point is that

612
00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:35.000
<v Speaker 2>there's even this new digital information sharing thing which is

613
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:37.960
<v Speaker 2>meant to be a workaround for the fact that social

614
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:40.400
<v Speaker 2>media is banned in a lot of places where free

615
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:42.920
<v Speaker 2>speech is you know, you think free speech is bad

616
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:45.599
<v Speaker 2>in Europe, you have to see what it's like. And

617
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know Yemen right now, but then again, I

618
00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:52.599
<v Speaker 2>guess Yemen's got other problems since we're bombing the Houthis allegedly.

619
00:38:53.920 --> 00:39:01.440
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, VOA Associated News is all I'm going to

620
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:04.239
<v Speaker 2>enter into a search engine and going to tell you

621
00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Voice of America English News Service and all that. There's

622
00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:12.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot more to it. Let's see what they have

623
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:16.199
<v Speaker 2>officially that they say. And the funny thing is, look,

624
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:19.480
<v Speaker 2>this is not something that I would normally want a

625
00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:22.599
<v Speaker 2>champion or anything like that or tell you that, you know,

626
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.519
<v Speaker 2>because it's out there in twenty seven languages, and it's

627
00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:28.360
<v Speaker 2>got a chance at at least being you know, pro

628
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:33.920
<v Speaker 2>or revelatory regarding you know, what goes on in America

629
00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:35.760
<v Speaker 2>and things like that as far as the rest of

630
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.280
<v Speaker 2>the world goes because otherwise we're at the mercy of

631
00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:41.079
<v Speaker 2>the narratives that other people are going to put out there. Yes, yes,

632
00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:44.679
<v Speaker 2>And indeed, at one time VOA and some of its

633
00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:48.079
<v Speaker 2>associated stuff Radio Free Europe and all that was really

634
00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:51.880
<v Speaker 2>just funded by our intelligence agencies, and they put it

635
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:56.960
<v Speaker 2>out there again as a psychological warfare tool, and I'm

636
00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:00.960
<v Speaker 2>pretty certain it still is today. Now is this wise

637
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:05.559
<v Speaker 2>to dismantle it or is it wiser to utilize it

638
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:09.360
<v Speaker 2>for a better purpose. Let's imagine I don't hate Trump

639
00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:14.920
<v Speaker 2>for a minute, Okay, let's try and imagine that. And

640
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:19.840
<v Speaker 2>how about would it be a way of making it

641
00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:25.039
<v Speaker 2>more efficient? Could you redirect said weapon? Could you redeploy

642
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:26.920
<v Speaker 2>it with new people at the head? I mean, this

643
00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:28.880
<v Speaker 2>guy is willing to go over there and become the

644
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:32.639
<v Speaker 2>chair of the Kennedy Center, you know, for performing arts

645
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:37.760
<v Speaker 2>while he's president. But screw VOA. Let's just trash it.

646
00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Let's pretty much pull the plug on it for the

647
00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:44.960
<v Speaker 2>most part and minimize its funding. I don't even know

648
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:47.679
<v Speaker 2>if Trump knows all the stuff that's gonna go because

649
00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:50.800
<v Speaker 2>of it. You know, like I said, there's a whole

650
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Middle East Reporting Agency, there's a whole you know, there's

651
00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Radio Free Europe, there's Liberty Radio. There's all these things.

652
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:03.280
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, they're not just broadcasting on the

653
00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:06.960
<v Speaker 2>dinosaur amfms out there in shortwave, but they are on

654
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:10.760
<v Speaker 2>shortwave an AM and FM troop. But they're also out

655
00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:15.599
<v Speaker 2>there as podcasters and as media distribution centers, et cetera,

656
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:18.840
<v Speaker 2>et cetera. And there's another funny thing to this, which

657
00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:22.639
<v Speaker 2>I guess people don't care about anymore. There's about thirteen

658
00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:27.079
<v Speaker 2>reporters at last count that I knew of, that are

659
00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:32.039
<v Speaker 2>actually imprisoned in foreign countries because why they reported pro

660
00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:36.239
<v Speaker 2>American stuff in a country and got jailed. And they're

661
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:40.000
<v Speaker 2>connected to VOA, So any of their lawyers, any of

662
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:43.519
<v Speaker 2>their assistants, any of their connection to the outside world,

663
00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:46.639
<v Speaker 2>these people might be cut off into prison somewhere for

664
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:51.199
<v Speaker 2>thinking they were doing the patriotic thing and getting out

665
00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:53.360
<v Speaker 2>the truth and sharing the truth with the world and

666
00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:57.440
<v Speaker 2>being on America's side. Now again, this could all be

667
00:41:57.760 --> 00:41:59.960
<v Speaker 2>just another way. I mean, some people might say it's true,

668
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm dismantling the deep state and this is just their

669
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:09.320
<v Speaker 2>propaganda out let. But Voice of America initially in the

670
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:11.480
<v Speaker 2>cover story as it was initiated as a way to

671
00:42:11.519 --> 00:42:15.119
<v Speaker 2>counter Nazi narratives and all that. But look, we also

672
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:18.599
<v Speaker 2>know about paper Clip and how effectively that was just us,

673
00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:23.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, collecting on our investment in Germany. And when

674
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:26.039
<v Speaker 2>I say our, I don't mean you and me, really,

675
00:42:26.079 --> 00:42:29.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean other Americans like Prescott Bush in the Bank

676
00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:35.320
<v Speaker 2>of New York City Bank and you know our NASA

677
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:37.360
<v Speaker 2>like today, you know, I mean, we got the whole

678
00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:40.039
<v Speaker 2>thing with There's supposed to be a splash down pretty soon.

679
00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully those two astronauts are spent nine months in space

680
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:46.519
<v Speaker 2>have had enough. And even though Trump was joking about

681
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:50.000
<v Speaker 2>them maybe really liking each other, I bet they're looking

682
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:52.679
<v Speaker 2>for some time apart at this point because they've been

683
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:56.519
<v Speaker 2>together for nine months in the International Space Station. And

684
00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:59.039
<v Speaker 2>aside from the jokes where the guy shows up with

685
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:01.800
<v Speaker 2>an alien head mass and all that, gotta say, I

686
00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:04.039
<v Speaker 2>don't find it too funny that we had two astronauts

687
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:08.159
<v Speaker 2>stuck out there for so long, and they actually did

688
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:12.639
<v Speaker 2>send an elon musk rocket telling you, telling you, telling you,

689
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:16.159
<v Speaker 2>I would have asked for another ride. You know. It's

690
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:18.119
<v Speaker 2>like when the lift shows up and the guy's car

691
00:43:18.199 --> 00:43:23.280
<v Speaker 2>is barely running, Maybe I should call uber, but ah,

692
00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:28.239
<v Speaker 2>what can you do? But again, sweeping declarations, sweeping movements.

693
00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Are these all the most strategically wise things to be done.

694
00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:35.079
<v Speaker 2>And oh, by the way, the way they're being represented

695
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:38.719
<v Speaker 2>to you and what the actual impact is might differ

696
00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:40.800
<v Speaker 2>from the reality just a touch.

697
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:43.920
<v Speaker 1>But what the hell's the difference.

698
00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Does anybody care about the news beyond the headline, and

699
00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:50.000
<v Speaker 2>do they even effectively continue, you know, complete reading the

700
00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:54.920
<v Speaker 2>headline before passing judgment. If I take a look at

701
00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:59.280
<v Speaker 2>the stuff out there and again sweeping declarations made by

702
00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:03.559
<v Speaker 2>even the the information consuming public, I gotta say, I

703
00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:05.199
<v Speaker 2>don't even know why I bother to talk or to

704
00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:08.599
<v Speaker 2>break things down or explain anything. Nobody wants an explanation.

705
00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:13.280
<v Speaker 2>They want to feel right and good about their previously

706
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:17.239
<v Speaker 2>held position and have it backed up by something generated

707
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:19.760
<v Speaker 2>on the Internet, and then they can go and tweet

708
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:22.599
<v Speaker 2>about it or share it on Facebook. I know hardly

709
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:25.920
<v Speaker 2>anybody uses Facebook, and I'm criminally locked out now I

710
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:29.039
<v Speaker 2>can't get back on my Facebook. But also with Skype

711
00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:31.760
<v Speaker 2>disappearing in May, I've got one of my tools going away.

712
00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:36.039
<v Speaker 2>It is interesting. We are in a hate to borrow

713
00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:38.159
<v Speaker 2>this race from Aaron, but we are in a serious

714
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:43.280
<v Speaker 2>age of transition, and I know that some people are

715
00:44:43.320 --> 00:44:46.519
<v Speaker 2>celebrating as we go, and even I want to celebrate

716
00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:48.840
<v Speaker 2>some of these changes, and I want to feel good.

717
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I want to feel good about Maybe there is eighty

718
00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:55.360
<v Speaker 2>thousand legit pages that that are now being seen that

719
00:44:55.440 --> 00:44:58.400
<v Speaker 2>we're not seen before. Maybe we can get closer to

720
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:01.760
<v Speaker 2>at least the truth of what the government had in

721
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:04.960
<v Speaker 2>its hands, oh November twenty second, nineteen sixty three, and

722
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:08.519
<v Speaker 2>what it did afterwards. Maybe we could get some of

723
00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:12.440
<v Speaker 2>that now, Maybe we can get a little closer to

724
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:15.599
<v Speaker 2>finally being able to say, look, we knew you were lying,

725
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:19.400
<v Speaker 2>and even you knew you were lying. But this new

726
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:22.039
<v Speaker 2>administration has no connection and this is kind of on

727
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:26.639
<v Speaker 2>our side in a way, has no connection to the past,

728
00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:34.199
<v Speaker 2>right allegedly, even though these are establishment people, these are billionaires.

729
00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:38.039
<v Speaker 2>These are people that are on the inside of everything,

730
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:42.840
<v Speaker 2>whether it's tech, the technocracy itself, or it is the

731
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:47.119
<v Speaker 2>elite circles in this country, and it looks to me

732
00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:51.800
<v Speaker 2>like more than half of America trusts them. I really

733
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:54.719
<v Speaker 2>hope you guys are correct. I really hope you pro

734
00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:57.119
<v Speaker 2>Trump got you know what. I want you pro Trump

735
00:45:57.159 --> 00:46:02.079
<v Speaker 2>guys to be right sixty percent of the time, which

736
00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:06.960
<v Speaker 2>would be an incredibly good record. I want your ideas

737
00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:11.199
<v Speaker 2>to be correct, because all I see are looming disasters

738
00:46:11.719 --> 00:46:16.639
<v Speaker 2>and unintended consequences and punishments and reckonings that are gonna

739
00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:22.159
<v Speaker 2>be due for even the slightest amount of dissent. And

740
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:25.239
<v Speaker 2>I say this not out of some paranoid weirdness that's

741
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:29.400
<v Speaker 2>only in my head. But there are threats being issued,

742
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:32.000
<v Speaker 2>whether you can see them or not, veiled or unveiled.

743
00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:35.760
<v Speaker 2>And you know what, it's gonna get more and more direct.

744
00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:39.320
<v Speaker 2>And I don't got to be a Venezuelan gangbanger to

745
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:42.760
<v Speaker 2>be in trouble. Matter of fact, here's the thing. Don't

746
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:45.599
<v Speaker 2>you approve of the gang bangers getting out of here?

747
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:48.079
<v Speaker 2>That's been the you know, debating point of the week

748
00:46:48.480 --> 00:46:52.480
<v Speaker 2>in talking head news media is everywhere, Well, come on,

749
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:56.840
<v Speaker 2>what you want to keep the gang bangers here? No

750
00:46:56.840 --> 00:47:00.000
<v Speaker 2>nobody does. I mean, unless you're a gang banger. Maybe,

751
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, maybe you feel lonely if you don't have

752
00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:05.159
<v Speaker 2>your buddies here and you haven't been busted yet, you're

753
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:07.199
<v Speaker 2>a free man. I mean, if you're locked up in

754
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:12.800
<v Speaker 2>the shoe, you know, the segregated housing unit for those

755
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:14.880
<v Speaker 2>of you who don't know, if you're locked up in

756
00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:17.079
<v Speaker 2>the shoes somewhere, I mean, maybe you don't care. It's

757
00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:19.800
<v Speaker 2>cool whatever. If there's a thousand, or there's ten thousand,

758
00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:21.559
<v Speaker 2>or there's a million of your brothers on the street,

759
00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:23.480
<v Speaker 2>it's okay. So long as there are some out there,

760
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:25.719
<v Speaker 2>and you'll find a way to communicate with them one

761
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:30.360
<v Speaker 2>way or another. But for the rest of us, no,

762
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:32.679
<v Speaker 2>we don't want the gangbangers here, but we'd like it

763
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:37.280
<v Speaker 2>very much, some of us anyway, if there was proof

764
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:42.840
<v Speaker 2>outside of the sweeping declarations made. This is my trouble

765
00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:47.199
<v Speaker 2>with this current age. People are going on their emotional reactions.

766
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:49.920
<v Speaker 2>They're going on a lot of things. I try not to,

767
00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:52.679
<v Speaker 2>really I do. I know it doesn't sound like that.

768
00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:55.039
<v Speaker 2>If you disagree with me, it definitely doesn't sound like that.

769
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:59.440
<v Speaker 2>But I really do try to seek out this little

770
00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:03.800
<v Speaker 2>thing called evidence when I want to make a tremendously

771
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:09.400
<v Speaker 2>sweeping declaration, you know, when I want to do it bigley,

772
00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:11.840
<v Speaker 2>when I want to make something that the world has

773
00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:16.079
<v Speaker 2>never seen before, even though this comes from the mouth

774
00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:17.719
<v Speaker 2>of a man who has no idea what the world

775
00:48:17.719 --> 00:48:20.119
<v Speaker 2>has seen, because he hasn't been part of the same

776
00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:22.679
<v Speaker 2>world you and I have been part of. And here's

777
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:25.000
<v Speaker 2>the funny thing. Even people who have been witnessed seem

778
00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:28.920
<v Speaker 2>to not recognize that they've been witnessed to things before

779
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:31.440
<v Speaker 2>people are old enough to know better that hope and

780
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:35.159
<v Speaker 2>change was sold to them that don't stop believing was

781
00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:38.559
<v Speaker 2>sold to him. That the need to defend ourselves. We

782
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:40.360
<v Speaker 2>got to fight him over there, so we don't fight

783
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:44.920
<v Speaker 2>him over here. They had that sold to him. They

784
00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:47.840
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of bs sold to him. Again, abandon

785
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:50.079
<v Speaker 2>all hope and begged for change because the black guy's

786
00:48:50.079 --> 00:48:56.039
<v Speaker 2>in charge, that's right, or Trump is an outsider. It's

787
00:48:56.079 --> 00:49:01.360
<v Speaker 2>all the same bs. And is any resembling a solution

788
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:04.199
<v Speaker 2>to any of these problems really in hand? It is

789
00:49:04.320 --> 00:49:09.679
<v Speaker 2>now you don't understand it's actually getting done. Gotta tell

790
00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:12.199
<v Speaker 2>you gotta be a little more patient and not just

791
00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:16.679
<v Speaker 2>believe the sweeping declarations. I advise everyone, and I do

792
00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:24.960
<v Speaker 2>mean everyone, to search for reach for demand evidence when

793
00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:38.159
<v Speaker 2>someone makes a extraordinary declaration. Extraordinary declarations require verifiable and

794
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:45.639
<v Speaker 2>corroboratable and corroborated evidence. They really should, and they just

795
00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:51.320
<v Speaker 2>don't seem to currently Anyway. A lot of things are

796
00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:54.360
<v Speaker 2>work in progress. And what is the overall message of

797
00:49:54.440 --> 00:49:58.320
<v Speaker 2>tonight's podcast. Look, you don't got to stay tuned to me,

798
00:49:58.400 --> 00:50:03.639
<v Speaker 2>but stay tuned to something because unless you're gonna pay attention,

799
00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:08.360
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna tell you what to believe. And way way

800
00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:12.519
<v Speaker 2>too many of you are just going with half a

801
00:50:12.559 --> 00:50:19.920
<v Speaker 2>headline anymore. You gotta get past that or accept your bliss.

802
00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I e ignorance, by the way, because ignorance must be bliss.

803
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Some people are very happy with things and believe things

804
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:34.960
<v Speaker 2>have happened based on a headline, based on a declaration,

805
00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:39.519
<v Speaker 2>based on an executive order, based on a truth, social post,

806
00:50:39.559 --> 00:50:42.320
<v Speaker 2>an ex post, a blue sky post, a dumb ass

807
00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:48.239
<v Speaker 2>thing thread on Facebook, a Reddit thread. It happened because

808
00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:50.679
<v Speaker 2>I saw it, I read it. I know it did.

809
00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:54.800
<v Speaker 2>This guy said it, so it must be. Alex Jones

810
00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:59.599
<v Speaker 2>continuously says he is the most censored news show out there,

811
00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:06.039
<v Speaker 2>and some people still believe it and make donations and

812
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:09.719
<v Speaker 2>buy stuff they don't need. Even instead of buying come

813
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:12.519
<v Speaker 2>on and garbage and blinging whatever from somewhere else, they'll

814
00:51:12.519 --> 00:51:15.360
<v Speaker 2>buy it from Alex. And if not there, they're still

815
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:17.719
<v Speaker 2>going to the Trump twenty twenty four store because now,

816
00:51:17.760 --> 00:51:21.440
<v Speaker 2>by the way, he has Gulf of America T shirts

817
00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:26.239
<v Speaker 2>and Doge coffee cups and T shirts and other items

818
00:51:26.239 --> 00:51:29.840
<v Speaker 2>for you to celebrate. Elon Musk's mug on a mug,

819
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:34.519
<v Speaker 2>Trump's mug again on a mug, and Gulf of America

820
00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:44.280
<v Speaker 2>baby anyway, just because somebody declares it, it doesn't automatically

821
00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:48.599
<v Speaker 2>make it real. But if you believe it happened, then

822
00:51:48.679 --> 00:51:51.039
<v Speaker 2>later on, I guess everybody can claim they had a

823
00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Mandela effect. That's not what I remember. I'm getting to

824
00:51:56.719 --> 00:51:58.559
<v Speaker 2>believe that more and more. It may not be what

825
00:51:58.639 --> 00:52:01.280
<v Speaker 2>you remember, but it is what happened, and so maybe

826
00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:04.280
<v Speaker 2>you are completely kicking the legs out from the Mandela

827
00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:07.840
<v Speaker 2>effect idea, which, by the way, on Friday night, I

828
00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:10.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know if we're gonna have an Aaron Franz show,

829
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:12.519
<v Speaker 2>but we're gonna have something. We might have an Uncle

830
00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:14.880
<v Speaker 2>show only, in which case we'll catch up on the

831
00:52:15.119 --> 00:52:19.199
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl bets. And as I said earlier, I'm gonna

832
00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:23.159
<v Speaker 2>do another Thursday newsblast like this Wednesday, we'll have Albert

833
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:26.199
<v Speaker 2>lanieron to talk about podcasting. I don't know how that's

834
00:52:26.239 --> 00:52:29.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna go, but I guess we'll see. And I did

835
00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:33.960
<v Speaker 2>this today. Plus go get the two very interesting and

836
00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:37.239
<v Speaker 2>very very different podcasts from Sunday that I did here

837
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:39.719
<v Speaker 2>on the live stream. James Corbett is one of them

838
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:44.360
<v Speaker 2>and Chris Graves the other. But that's that. For the

839
00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:48.880
<v Speaker 2>eighteenth day of March twenty twenty five, allegedly according to

840
00:52:48.960 --> 00:52:52.280
<v Speaker 2>that thing we call a calendar. And I appreciate anybody

841
00:52:52.320 --> 00:52:54.039
<v Speaker 2>who's gonna help me pay the big bill that's gonna

842
00:52:54.039 --> 00:52:56.239
<v Speaker 2>come up on April fifteenth, less than a month away.

843
00:52:57.679 --> 00:52:59.840
<v Speaker 2>That's a big bill. And also I'm gonna have to

844
00:52:59.840 --> 00:53:03.119
<v Speaker 2>purchase some new software and things in order to work

845
00:53:03.159 --> 00:53:07.400
<v Speaker 2>around and get around the loss of Skype. So any

846
00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:10.039
<v Speaker 2>help would be appreciated at o'chelly dot com. If you

847
00:53:10.079 --> 00:53:14.039
<v Speaker 2>make a donation, it will go toward keeping this experiment

848
00:53:14.199 --> 00:53:19.639
<v Speaker 2>in my media anyway, going, do I matter anymore? I

849
00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:23.880
<v Speaker 2>don't know, And I'm starting to wonder if I'm gonna care, because,

850
00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:26.280
<v Speaker 2>after all, maybe I should just make a sweeping declaration.

851
00:53:26.400 --> 00:53:30.760
<v Speaker 2>I have already compiled and created the greatest archive of

852
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:34.800
<v Speaker 2>alternate media podcasts ever assembled. Maybe if I just walk

853
00:53:34.840 --> 00:53:38.000
<v Speaker 2>around with that kind of you know, arrogant attitude and

854
00:53:38.079 --> 00:53:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I declare it, maybe it will just be accepted. Is

855
00:53:41.960 --> 00:53:45.599
<v Speaker 2>that how this should work? Or is somebody gonna, you know,

856
00:53:46.360 --> 00:53:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, fact check me on that. Oh god,

857
00:53:49.519 --> 00:53:53.559
<v Speaker 2>I just uttered a dirty word. Fact check Oh Snopes's garbage.

858
00:53:53.559 --> 00:54:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Factcheckers are liars, And I know I know, but I'm

859
00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:07.159
<v Speaker 2>asking you just consider, are you really comfortable with somebody

860
00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:11.280
<v Speaker 2>else making your decisions for you about what's real, what's

861
00:54:11.320 --> 00:54:15.920
<v Speaker 2>not real, what actually happened, what didn't happen, or would

862
00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:24.079
<v Speaker 2>you rather have some verifiable, corroboratable evidence to back up

863
00:54:24.519 --> 00:54:28.840
<v Speaker 2>extraordinary claims, especially when people want to talk about extraordinary

864
00:54:28.880 --> 00:54:33.960
<v Speaker 2>things happening the VOA going away not so extraordinary JFK documents.

865
00:54:34.039 --> 00:54:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Damn it about time if it actually happened, and we

866
00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:43.159
<v Speaker 2>have to evaluate that. Do people approve of what Trump's doing?

867
00:54:43.199 --> 00:54:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Looks like it to me, but will they when it

868
00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:49.320
<v Speaker 2>all actually hits. Oh, by the way, people are telling

869
00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:51.760
<v Speaker 2>me egg prices are going down. I don't see it here,

870
00:54:51.840 --> 00:54:55.639
<v Speaker 2>but maybe your experiences are varying. And is it all

871
00:54:55.639 --> 00:55:00.039
<v Speaker 2>about the eggs? After all, there was the Eggman, it

872
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:02.719
<v Speaker 2>was the walrus and cuckooku chew and all that, and

873
00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess that was the Beatles. I wasn't a Beatles guy,

874
00:55:05.679 --> 00:55:08.280
<v Speaker 2>And according to my short conversation with Charles Manson when

875
00:55:08.280 --> 00:55:11.400
<v Speaker 2>he was still live in the nineteen nineties, he told

876
00:55:11.440 --> 00:55:15.639
<v Speaker 2>me he wasn't that big a Beatles fan either, But again,

877
00:55:16.039 --> 00:55:19.719
<v Speaker 2>do you believe him? And what is the evidence. I'm

878
00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:21.599
<v Speaker 2>trying to book Tom O'Neil, by the way, to come

879
00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:24.800
<v Speaker 2>on here and talk about the new Netflix release of Chaos.

880
00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:30.679
<v Speaker 2>But who knows what will happen. And that's the thing.

881
00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Keep an open mind, keep your eyes open, and let

882
00:55:33.679 --> 00:55:36.440
<v Speaker 2>your own observations guide you a lot more than half.

883
00:55:36.199 --> 00:55:40.239
<v Speaker 1>A headline if you can. That's the whole point.

884
00:55:41.639 --> 00:55:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm merely o'ceelly. All of you could be the effect.

885
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:48.639
<v Speaker 2>Join me, support the network, support what I'm doing. Maybe

886
00:55:48.679 --> 00:55:52.159
<v Speaker 2>we'll expand some more, or maybe we'll give up after

887
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Lancer twenty twenty five. Who knows. Let's wait and see.

888
00:55:58.119 --> 00:56:00.400
<v Speaker 2>But if you show me some support, I'll be more

889
00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:03.360
<v Speaker 2>likely to stick around and keep it as interesting as

890
00:56:03.360 --> 00:56:07.639
<v Speaker 2>I can, trying to fact check and check and verify,

891
00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:10.840
<v Speaker 2>and let's make sure we got the fact straight. Let's

892
00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:13.400
<v Speaker 2>make sure we got the timeline straight. Yeah, stupid things.

893
00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:15.679
<v Speaker 2>I do join us on Friday night though, for the

894
00:56:15.719 --> 00:56:17.480
<v Speaker 2>call in show. If you want to write down the

895
00:56:17.559 --> 00:56:19.960
<v Speaker 2>number now, it's three one nine five two seven five

896
00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:22.320
<v Speaker 2>zero one six. I'll say it about one hundred more

897
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:24.400
<v Speaker 2>times when we're live on Friday night between eight and

898
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:28.199
<v Speaker 2>ten pm Eastern, But for now, one more time, I'm

<v Speaker 2>merely o'celly. All of you are the.

901
00:56:49.960 --> 00:56:54.639
<v Speaker 5>In Denial, Secret Wars with Air Strikes and Tanks by

902
00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:59.199
<v Speaker 5>Larry Hancock. Secret wars became a staple of US covert

903
00:56:59.280 --> 00:57:04.320
<v Speaker 5>operations are still happening today. Larryhancock's book In Denial rips

904
00:57:04.360 --> 00:57:07.079
<v Speaker 5>the cover off many of them, using new files.

905
00:57:07.079 --> 00:57:09.480
<v Speaker 6>It exposes things about the Bay of Pigs that no

906
00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:12.519
<v Speaker 6>one has ever written about before. It shows why it

907
00:57:12.599 --> 00:57:15.480
<v Speaker 6>really failed and why the United States did not earn

908
00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:18.559
<v Speaker 6>from it. It also shows why other countries today are

909
00:57:18.599 --> 00:57:22.239
<v Speaker 6>doing secret operations with more success. This is the book

910
00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:25.719
<v Speaker 6>that puts what some want to deny into the light.

915
00:57:41.119 --> 00:57:44.199
<v Speaker 3>Force, The War State by Michael Swanson explains the great

916
00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:47.559
<v Speaker 3>national transformation that took place and put the Kennedy presidency

917
00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:50.679
<v Speaker 3>in the context of the times and reveals never before

918
00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:54.719
<v Speaker 3>published information about the Cuban missile crisis. President Kennedy would

919
00:57:54.760 --> 00:57:57.199
<v Speaker 3>not have been assassinated if he had been President two

920
00:57:57.239 --> 00:58:00.880
<v Speaker 3>hundred years ago. His assassination took place in the context

921
00:58:00.880 --> 00:58:03.119
<v Speaker 3>of the Cold War and the rise of the national

922
00:58:03.159 --> 00:58:06.400
<v Speaker 3>security state. Before World War II, the United States was

923
00:58:06.440 --> 00:58:09.639
<v Speaker 3>a continental republic. In the decade that followed, it became

924
00:58:09.679 --> 00:58:13.519
<v Speaker 3>an imperial superpower. Generals such as Curtis LeMay not only

925
00:58:13.559 --> 00:58:16.159
<v Speaker 3>wanted to invade Cuba, but knew that there were short

926
00:58:16.280 --> 00:58:19.239
<v Speaker 3>range missiles on the island armed with nuclear warheads that

927
00:58:19.320 --> 00:58:22.079
<v Speaker 3>they could not destroy because they were on mobile launchers.

928
00:58:22.199 --> 00:58:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Their invasion could have led to a Third World War,

929
00:58:25.159 --> 00:58:28.199
<v Speaker 3>and they wanted to go to war anyway. The War

930
00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:31.599
<v Speaker 3>State by Michael Swanson reveals why and will show you

931
00:58:31.639 --> 00:58:33.320
<v Speaker 3>what President Kennedy was up against.
