| 0:00.0 | So Twitter is holding firm where Apple iTunes |
| 0:29.9 | Facebook all decided no Alex Jones are format because he clearly is outside of what will allow even though there are some pretty strange things inside what they will allow. |
| 0:43.9 | And I'm not saying Alex Jones is out there. He's out there. No, but there's a lot of stuff that's out there. Anyway, Twitter's holding firm. |
| 0:50.1 | They haven't booted Alex Jones. Some people think that's horrifying. Some people think it's awesome. But we'll talk about that coming up a little bit later. |
| 0:56.8 | Including some strange bedfellows on either side of the discussion. I've been surprised at some of the folks who've advocated one thing or another, but we'll try to hash that out a little bit. |
| 1:07.0 | Well, anyway, I'm sorry. I'm dying to comment on that, but I won't because you know why I'm an adult speaking of which. So we've had a lot of guests on speaking of which. Can I speak of which real quickly? |
| 1:16.7 | If you are somebody with political beliefs and you're so convinced you're right that it enrages you that anybody has any beliefs, even slightly different than yours. |
| 1:27.3 | And you're such a child or an unformed adult or a psychopath that you think because somebody disagrees with you, you can split their head open. |
| 1:37.3 | You got to get yourself to Berkeley to Alameda County where a guy who split somebody's head open got probation because he's on the right side of politics. Oh, this story. I'll just make you a cheeriest hack. I do want to stay with us. |
| 1:51.6 | So over the years, we've had a lot of guests that we, uh, um, we really like that we either talk to once or multiple times. We always think, geez, we end every conversation with them by saying, we can talk to you all day. And we mean it. |
| 2:03.0 | Because there are a number of people that, geez, you just scratch the surface. It's almost a crime to have them on and barely get into it. It's frustrating anyway. |
| 2:12.6 | For them and us and probably you. But so we started to do this long form podcast thing. We'll talk to somebody for 45 minutes or an hour or how long it takes about various topics. And we did Tim, the lawyer just start with and we hope to do Mike Rogers soon. |
| 2:26.5 | Guy who formerly ran the CIA and was, uh, or was on the House Intelligence Committee. All that sort of stuff. Really interesting. Yeah, we got a bunch of folks who want to talk to, um, but we talked to Laura Logan yesterday for about an hour and she is a probably seen her on 60 minutes and CBS over the years. And she is a television correspondent that maybe has spent more time in Afghanistan than anybody. And we've always liked talking to her. |
| 2:47.4 | And speaking of childlike enthusiasm, there are still some clips we're getting edited together to feature on this show. Um, and then we'll let you know exactly how you can get the podcast in a second or two and listen to the whole thing. |
| 2:58.9 | But she said some stuff really perceptive and and plainly true and probably a little controversial about Islam and about the refugee crisis in Europe. I mean, the sort of stuff you do not hear anybody with the cojonis to say in the mainstream media. |
| 3:15.7 | And we'll hit you with those clips as soon as they're ready. But first of all, let's go with the cut number one where Laura is talking about al-Qaeda and fundamentalist Islam on the march. |
| 3:45.7 | And we've known new at the time that this was al-Qaeda Libya. But what al-Qaeda knew was if you put your al-Qaeda name on every organization that is part of you, you're going to face sanctions. It's going to be impossible to operate. You're going to have the resources of the US and all of its allies mobilized against you. Right? I mean smart, clandestine and certain terrorist organizations, they don't put a big target on their heads. |
| 4:11.3 | That gets to and I help a book will be written about this at some point. |
| 4:16.4 | How the Obama administration in particular, I think this happened under Bush also, but in particular, the Obama administration was so big on the whole we've decimated al-Qaeda thing. |
| 4:26.9 | Right. As a campaign cause. |
| 4:28.6 | If if a group rose up who answered to al-Qaeda, who had the exact same mission as al-Qaeda or even the same people called themselves something different, they didn't count it as al-Qaeda. Right. |
| 4:41.8 | And most of the Benghazi story is based on that. I remember the New York Times did this exhaustive story after Benghazi that I felt like everybody missed the point of as including the guy who wrote the story. |
