Net Neutrality. Adam curry, John C. Devorah. It's Thursday June
14 2018. This is your award winning combination media
assassination episode 1042.
This is no agenda
compiling communications and broadcasting live from the
Capitol the drone Star state here in downtown Austin Tejas,
Hayden, the Claudio, in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, tree cluding northern
Korea, and Jhansi Dvorak skill.
Guys aren't even close to Northern Korea. No. Not yet. At
least. Wait until it becomes our 51st state.
Yeah, it would be something Yeah. I kind of expected Trump
to take Kim Jong Hoon So dude, I'll drop you off here. Hop in
the Air Force One. I'll take you.
Actually, that would
have been fun.
He should have done that. Yeah,
if you showed him the beast, I saw that there was a little
little photo op when he said hey, come take a look at my car.
Looking inside the car. The Beast. Yeah. rather strange. But
boy, that was something I couldn't I couldn't actually
turn it off. I had to watch I had to stay glued to see what
was going to happen. It was quite the event.
I watched I get to two discrepant I get a lot of clips
and some of them I guess we don't need to play but I got an
effect. Let me do a quick summary summary clip. Because it
was very interesting to listen to the difference between the
CBS reports and NBC. NBC trashed it. Yes. And CBS was even had
Mike morale on on the overnight show didn't really. They were
still like, apparently I guess the memo hasn't come out yet and
how to deal with this so that he was actually pretty nice about
it. Yeah, I got to hear to get the NoCo Redux ISO. Oh, this is
Hallie Jackson from NBC summarizing the situation in
North Korea,
extermination, murder, enslavement, torture,
imprisonment, rape, crimes against humanity. You know,
just before you get into your because I see I see what you
have clip wise and for those of you who are new to the program,
we have no idea what we're bringing to the table. I can
just see some titles here. Let me just play Shep Smith because
it relates to that. Ship Shep Smith on Fox News. There was the
the actual proof that Democrats run Fox News, then I guess that
must be hard to be Shep Smith. By the way, it looks as though
now Comcast is gonna outbid Disney because of the stupid
court case with the city a judge which I had to have to look into
it. Let's get into that in a minute because Michigan sh is no
more proof that you know it was running the show. Yeah. Well,
we'll get into that with net neutrality. But poor Shep and it
must be hard being a good gay in today's America. If you work for
Fox News. So I give the guy some grace. But he says
Tuesday afternoon the talk happened hand shaken photos
taken. And during a private meeting promises were apparently
made. But who wanted what? Well, America demanded complete,
verifiable and irreversible denuclearization.
Hold on a second did America demand that did was that was
that the demands of the administration or was that
demands of the media? And I couldn't find the genesis of
know anybody who demanded it. Well, everyone was talking about
CVI DC vi d, we need CVI D. Everybody on the cable news
networks at least. So anyway, that was what America demand. It
may be in the heartland CV I D
complete, verifiable irreversible denuclearization.
There is no guarantee of that. Not even words to that effect.
And we may not know for years, whether we're actually now on
that road, or left in the potholes of pads past nice, but
Kim Jong moon, he wanted the photos a seat at the table. He
wanted the legitimacy that came with the event, the handshake
with America's President, and he wanted those military exercises
with the Americans and the South Koreans that happen every year
to stop. Kim Jong Hoon got it all for actually doing nothing.
Plus, he got a promise lacking specifics granted of security
for the North Korean regime, a regime that has an estimated
120,000 political prisoners across the nation now,
so this number, this 120,000 Everyone has it. It's actually
between 80 and 120,000. And I was like, you know, we've heard
this and we've heard about him, killing his brother and killing
his uncle and dogs eating dogs and a lot. Most of this has been
debunked. And you know, he didn't kill his brother, his
brother. apparently was poisoned at an airport on his way to
China. He's a strange brother, going back to Macau. And two
women came up and rubbed some poison on his face. And he died
minutes later. But of course, that's what Kim did. But I
really wanted to understand these, you know, the political
prisoners, the gulags, and I did a lot of research, and it's all
in the show notes. And there is nothing other than what comes
out of the United Nations. And of course, Human Rights Watch
human rights. Now, a lot of the USA ID related organizations,
I'm not saying that it's not true, but I'd like a little more
proof. All we see is the consent the constant satellite photos.
Here it is, this is the prison camp, you can see my house from
Google Maps, yet we can't see one person working in the field
getting beaten up or anything. It's it reeks a little bit of
other stuff we've seen come out of the United Nations research
into human rights violations, not saying it hasn't happened,
not saying it's not happening. I just like a little more proof
and a little more. There's no
There's the proof is very scant. And you're right. The satellite
today satellite images can you can see people in the street,
you can follow people. And we get none of that. I mean, you're
telling me that anybody there it looks like abandoned areas. He
told me that Google Maps car is not there in North Korea that
things everywhere. So that's it beyond the streets, but it's
they always say 120 And this number has been this way since
2014, when the last report came out. So there's been no change
in four years. Apparently, it's 120,000 is political prisoners.
There's torture and there's there's a couple of really in
rape yeah, there's a couple of really good debunking of all the
people that Kim Jong Hoon apparently has killed you know,
like even the the shot is uncle with a 50 cal machine good fed
them to the dogs. Turns out it was a blogger in China who was
just making some joke. Yeah, but that of course got taken as as
facts. So I just like a little more and not from the the
typical sources that are just at this point untrustworthy,
a regime that tortures and murders its own citizens in
prisons, children for the actions of parents and
grandparents, and a leader who has committed crimes against
humanity. President Trump called the North Korean dictator, very
talented and praised. United Nations has called him one of
the most brutal and repressive regimes in modern history. So
I'm completely open to believing that this guy has continued this
complete, horrific, oppressive regime. I'm open to it. I just
like a little more than the same talking points on it. All right.
That guy is a madman. And by the way, another besides NBC going
negative and CBS going kind of neutral, called bear I didn't
get you know, I watched the show looking for clips, and it was
just, you know, anti Trump stuff. And then he somehow segue
to the raccoon going up the side of the building
that had that kept everyone's attention for a minute. This is
a funny one. This is Fox and Friends. As the president is
arriving in Singapore, listen to see if you can catch the gaff.
There is President of the United States Donald Trump about to
walk down those stairs stepping foot in Singapore as we await
this historic summit with the North Korean dictator Kim Jong
Hoon Anthony, talk to us about this moment mean this is history
we are living regardless of what happens in that meeting between
the two dictators what we are seeing right now this is his
Did you catch the gaff? No.
I'll play the relevant bit once again.
Regardless of what happens in that meeting between the two
dictators what we are seeing right now
I love that two dictators
the best one that's Clip of the Day already. I'm giving a very
generous clip
with a bunch of morons to dictators Yeah, it's historic
these dictators from Fox good work. More proof more proof the
Democrats are you know
that media is pretty neutral in this stuff. Yeah. Well, I guess
the only gaff I could find is is Nora from the morning show.
She
She if you could hear what I buy, maybe I'm wrong. But she
uses the like the thing that broadcasters are never supposed
to say. Nuclear, nuclear. So listen to Nora de nuke. I've got
two of them now. I'm trying to think which is the short one the
short one do I know Jews played along with him the short one
President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un finished an
unprecedented meeting in Singapore with a deal to start
denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula
nucular the nuclear
deal. nuco rising denuclearizing whoa denuclearizing she did okay
denuclearizing to be new co rising
denuclearizing nuclear rising
in a new Clurel Zuko rising, rising Well,
how about how about this guy from Stephanopoulos on ABC?
Thank you. Another handshake there for President champion
Trump. Wow.
President Trump, President Trump was a chump, they said chump,
chump, President chump at Trump's show. This fabulous.
Very good. All right, guys. I gotta go. That's my gaffes. I
only have deconstruction from this point
on. I don't have any more gaps either. Well, if we wanted to,
if you want to start straight, we can do the CBS stuff that was
done. And CBS has this. I've started I think this is the show
to get to watch. It's in Jeff Glor is on it, too. I don't know
why. But this is the CBS overnight, which is the like the
like the network news only as long guards or I've seen this.
It's actually quite good. They kind of get into a little
longer. They talked
about casting for their main broadcast, you can tell Yeah, it
has been fully edited. And it's just better
than and then people actually walking on and standing I
believe. Yeah, they'd say walk onto the set and they stand and
then they do their little ditty. I like it. I've seen it. I think
it's
three in the morning. Yeah,
that's the unenjoyable part
about it. Yeah, that's the problem. But let's start with
the word do the rap getting going? These are all short
clips. I have a lot of actors but they're pretty on one minute
is started no CO CBS rap one get
to work and get it completed because otherwise, we've done a
good job. But if you don't get the ball over the goal line. It
doesn't mean enough. Okay.
Mr. Trump also announced an end to joint US South Korean
military exercises the goal long sought by North Korea. The move
surprised many at the Pentagon and in Seoul
A will be saving a tremendous amount of money plus I think
it's very provocative.
The summit was a spectacle with Kim even comparing it to a
science fiction movie
by the way, did you see the defense stocks after he said
that? He said that now we gotta stop because war games cost a
lot of money is bull crap. Really? Boom. He
says he says is provocative, which it was they took that part
by way that part of the clip. Yes, it was just provocative was
taken out of the network news. Oh, really? Interesting. Yeah,
they did. They left that out. And they just and so the team
wasn't it was also in this report a little bit. And we
talked about this on the show about them doing this. So I
don't believe it was a surprise to anybody. I think this is
false reporting. Was it a surprise to you that he stopped
because it was one of the main cornerstones.
It was a surprise to the military industrial complex, at
least the investors of everyone.
I'm gonna ask you, is it a surprise to you? No. Not
surprise to me. And then they say, and then Colbert and
everybody else goes off. But oh, he's just did this on the spur
of the moment. He didn't tell anybody at the Pentagon is now
they're going nuts, because they weren't told. And I'm
immediately reminded of him, I unfortunately, have time to go
find it. And we don't need to find it. But I can remind people
because they should remember it. We had McMaster give a long
lecture was on pelvic or on C span. And during the lecture
somebody asked him about when does he find out about stuff?
Trump will say something and he's always he's shocked that if
Trump wants to do something, he says no, he's never shocked.
Because the that stream of command from him down and the
president up is different. He says, we always find out very
late in the game, we don't find out. They don't call us and ask
us for permission to make make, do something like that. They
just, you know, make a decision to do it. And then it gets
worked out. Right. And it's not a big deal. But oh, the news
geyser thing is a huge deal. In fact, NBC went nuts about it. So
okay, well, just reminding people that this is these
reports are pretty close. Yes.
And Mr. Trump showed Kim this video showcasing a glowing new
North Korean economic future. The president said North Korea
had beautiful beaches ready for condominium development.
Think of it from a real estate perspective. You have South
Korea,
and I love this because I'm just thinking exactly what John said
years ago. Perfect for tourism. There's real Trump will come in
with his real estate pitch which I think he did very well China
and they own the land in the middle how How bad is that
right?
Last year the President called North Korea with its abysmal
human rights record wicked and depraved. Today he said he
trusts the dynastic young dictator after just one face to
face meeting only smart,
loves his people. He loves his country. He wants a lot of good
things and that's why he's doing this.
Major this this joint statement also addressed the remains of
Americans missing an action are held as prisoners of war during
the Korean War. This was so important to so many families.
What did it say?
As the President said he heard a lot about it during the campaign
trail and what the two countries have committed to is recovering,
and repatriating those remains Jeff about 5300 Americans
estimated to still be in North Korea after the Korean War some
65 years later, many in mass graves. This had been worked on
before but was stalled when North Korea did not live up to
its pledges on denuclearization. So you can assume that those two
issues repatriation and denuclearization will be merged
yet again.
Yeah, that was a nice touch.
Yeah, that was dropped from the reporting later. As a as an
item. It wasn't nice touch into Did you know main reason result
in I mean, Kim has done is a We got nothing. He already released
three prisoners. He stopped, but he hasn't launched a missile.
What I didn't hear really from anybody was any analysis of the
communique. Which is my favorite word. Now, after we've had a
communique from the g7
I think that's what most of the analysis was what it didn't say
anything that communicated.
Well, the communique did say something. What was the point
3.3 reaffirming the April 27 2018 palming yum yum yum
declaration, the DPRK commits to work toward complete
denuclearization, denuclearization of the Korean
Peninsula. And so you need to go to the Panmunjom Declaration,
which was the agreement, I believe, crafted by us between
North and South Korea. And there's a lot in there about
what they're going to do. Good. So then we see Disarmament in a
phased manner military tension is alleviated. substantial
progress has made a military confidence building. South and
North Korea confirmed the common good now it's fuzzy but at least
there's more to it than I heard on the news.
It was Nike, right? They were not getting close to now.
Well, let me just let me just read the one paragraph South and
North Korea confirmed the common goal of realizing through
complete denuclearization, a nuclear free Korean peninsula
South and North Korea shared the view that the measures being
initiated by North Korea are very meaningful and crucial for
the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and agreed to
carry out their respective roles and responsibilities in this
regard. South and North Korea agreed to actively seek the
support and cooperation of the international community for the
denuclearization of the Korean peninsula with this was not even
read to us when it took place. No, which is why I went to find
it when I saw oh wait a minute, this document refers to that
document is how this stuff is always done
with it. What good is that going to do to talk about this? That's
not anti Trump
stuff. Sorry. My mistake, I'll never make it.
And then the thing that goes further was that this is part of
the third clip here. Over on the overnight show. This is where
they brought morale and and it was go again, this is a show
that goes on at three in the morning. I don't know what time
they tape it, but I'm sure morale went to bed. But he
didn't get his paperwork from the agency. Oh, he didn't have
anything what to say, Oh, no.
We're gonna move now to Margaret Brennan, our Senior Foreign
Affairs correspondent and moderator Face the Nation also
Michael Morel, former deputy CIA director. And now our CBS News
Senior security contributor. Margaret, what happens now?
Well, the President gave himself a lot of wiggle room today. He
said I may stand up here in six months and say, Hey, I was
wrong. So he's given himself some room there. He also gave
the North Koreans room to maneuver as well. Next up,
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has to become a salesman. He's
going to South Korea to try to explain what was agreed upon in
the room that wasn't on that written statement that was
released to all of us then he's goes to China and of course,
they have the most leverage over North Korea and he'll speak to
their leadership about making North Korea follow through on
what they at least say are said to have agreed upon in the room
but diplomat say there is still a lot of detail yet to be
determined. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National
Security Adviser John Bolton will meet again with the North
Koreans next week to hammer out those details.
Michael, in your estimation, what did the President achieve
at this summit? Jeff, this was a diplomatic win for the United
States. But we are far from a strategic win. It was a
diplomatic win because it was the best possible out Come of
the summit, shared objectives to denuclearize and an agreement to
continue the negotiations were far from a strategic win because
there are immense details to work through. Okay, some great
analysis tonight with Margaret Brennan and Michael Morel
thanks.
I love some great analysis really, that was not great
analysis. It was just a blathering aesthetic.
I'm gonna play this clip out of order which is, you know, co
Newspeak newspapers and media analysis. North
Korean videos demonized the US is an existential threat, and
suggest North Korea has to prepare to target the White
House or destroy the Capitol. But today's state newspaper
seems to mark the Singapore summit as a shift. Newspaper
photos feature Kim and Trump smiling and leaning into each
other. Not as
jarring as it is for an American audience to see an American
president smiling broadly and shaking the hands with a North
Korean dictator. It's orders of magnitude more disturbing or
more jarring for the North Korean population to see their
leader during the same with President Trump. I think this is
really quite significant. And I think it shows to the to the
North Korean people and government officials in
particular that Kim Jong Un is very firmly behind this
diplomatic process. And and its success,
but interpreting North Korea is no science and optimism could
easily be replaced with venom. Or you soo Kim,
North Korea has a history of using its state media. It's a
propaganda tool. So coming after Kim's return trip from
Singapore, where he obviously got the propaganda boost, he was
able to shut off his public image as this ruthless dictator
and the North Korean or DPRK statement about the summit has
some analysts worried that Kim won't shed his violent past. The
statement reads if the US side takes genuine measures for
building trust, the DPRK too can continue to take additional
goodwill measures. And it is important to abide by the
principle of step by step and simultaneous action suggesting
North Korea is buying time rather than being serious about
denuclearization.
So the door tuning de Yatta
there you go that's some propaganda finding
time for what I did to find time to
blow us up to double crossers.
They're going broke this guy's buying time for why did you
not buying time for the analysis was so poor. Everything I saw
was I mean, right down not even reading the damn documents. That
was
PBS, by the way. Figures. So they're not telling us anything.
They're just they just befuddled by this whole site, some crazy
thing that went on, and that then they talk about well, they
will give Trump credit for kind of meeting him. But when you go
to NBC and listen to their thesis, it's all Oh, hey,
they've given this this maniac. This violent maniac, which is
okay, violent maniac. Now he's he's been given legitimacy.
That's all Trump accomplished was giving this horrible person
legitimacy. Right. And it's like, Holy mackerel, I mean, we
can't you know, this. I don't get it personally, why we have
to be that way. We're not doesn't
make sense. I'm wealthy. I'm not that way. It's, it's not
healthy, that's for sure.
No, well, let's go to NBC and listen to this. The NBC sees it
differently. And I have four short clips, and everyone has
like a punch line. That's why I broke it up into that. But let's
start with one.
How can the US be sure. A key missing ingredient, no
requirement that Kim Jong on disclose how many weapons he
has, or where they are hidden.
There's always a possibility that North Korea can hide things
in 1000s of miles of underground tunnels, which you cannot
verify. You can only verify what they declare and that's why the
declaration is so important.
What else is missing from the summit document. No definition
of denuclearization. No details on verification. Tonight
lawmakers even some Republicans say it's too vague. This is
an agreement in principle. It's not an agreement that can be
enforced. This is an idea.
I don't know that there's anything to that of concrete
nature yet to trust. If you know what I'm saying. It's still
the president says this is just the beginning that he has
accomplished something no other president could a meeting with a
North Korean leader but didn't get enough in return.
Now the task is to really put meat on the bones. Secretary
Pompeo will have to start negotiations right away to see
if there can be any concrete steps that are taken towards
denuclearization.
At Secretary of State Pompeo leaves for us Seoul and Beijing
tomorrow to try to turn the summit promises into reality.
Let's check. Alright Andrew
Mitchell. Thank you. As the events unfolded here in
Singapore, South Korea was looking on with high stakes in
the outcome. And when President Trump announced he's halting
military exercises for them, it seems he not only surprised the
South Koreans, but US forces in the region to NBC News Chief
foreign correspondent Richard Engel is in Seoul and has
reaction for us tonight.
I will say that I found the entire event the press parts of
the event to be well produced. I saw drone shots, setting up the
venue you know they had cranes I mean, it was well done.
The first jib
that was they had a Jewess Korea the well known Linac grill in
Singapore I'm sure wasn't the first job in Singapore. But I
did I saw drone shots in the beginning too and yeah, just the
timing of it all it was it was it was it was nicely done. It
was nicely done. I thought it was a good television listening
for his with their thinking. They're putting all Singaporeans
every day about a dictatorship. There you go. And nobody wants
to mention that do they know but Singapore probably went all in
because he said hey, we can have these international meetings
just brings a lot of cash. Let's let's give him show him a good
time. And I'm sure the food was fantastic. They don't talk about
that much. How
did you see the menu? Which went which oh shoot, there was a menu
for their lunch old manual really from the menu. Kim Trump
lunch. Allow me find it for you. It was really good.
Let's see the lunch. Oh, the rest
of the people are starving.
Let me see here it is. On the menu.
They had for starters, traditional prawn cocktail with
avocado salad salad, green mango, caribou, caribou, with
honey lime dressing and fresh octopus, Korean stuffed
cucumber, then short rib comfy serve with potato dauphinois and
steamed broccoli red wine sauce. combination of sweet and sour
crispy pork and Yong Zhou fried rice with homemade Zhu su Chile.
De Gu Joram, soy braised cod fish with radish and Asian
vegetables and then for dessert which I'm sure the media
obsessed over. Right In fact, I heard them dark chocolate
chocolate ganache, and Haagen Dazs vanilla ice cream with
cherry Cooley. And Trump is yen. I don't know half of what that
stuff is.
I know what most of it is. But I can't figure out how do they
show. How did Haagen Dazs get into the act?
They did. Someone got a promotion.
Somebody got Yes, that's a good one. Good point. But yeah,
sounds delicious. I'm sure it was tasty. Yes.
So they had a good time at dinner, had lunch.
Lunch. Anyway, this was so So Richard, they bring it they talk
they do the same thing on NBC all everyone is stunned, stunned
that they're going to stop these exercises. The main problem was
they always thought they should assign those exercises were
provocative in it. And the Chinese are part of the reason
that they were dairy irked about him.
But the
South was South Korea who sent out a communique, saying we're
not quite sure what he means by that. And that's what sparked it
all off. So there was some miscommunication amongst the
parties. I think that
was exaggerated.
No, you know, we're that Sam it I didn't even think to look into
it. You're right.
Yeah, these guys aren't, you know, and especially since this
house, give me it sorry. I'm sorry. South Korea is initiating
a lot of this. Yeah. They obviously know, they know the
ropes. They know. That is there's an it's annoying to do
these exercises that look like they're just going to attack any
minute. Yeah. So why would they all of a sudden be stunned? It
doesn't make any sense. So
I'm looking at ABC, as reports emerged, that the South Korean
government was surprised by the announcement to suspend
exercises, questions were raised of us policymakers were also
caught off guard. So the questions were raised as mine
had been just from sources. You're absolutely right. That
may have been exaggerated. Good point.
Dammit. They're just doing everything they can to. I mean,
these the people that are doing this are just anti American, it
seems to me, but let's go to the part two now there. Now we have
Richard Engel, who's brought out of the Middle East where you
know, he's a native Arabic speaker and he's the brain
that's put him in and he's the big Negative Nelly, he's the the
CIA plant. We kind of figured he's the guy who voted against
the idea or suggested that Feinstein should not release
that CIA report about torture heaven forbid, which gave him
away as far as I'm concerned as and he's to go do that phony
report where he was supposed to be captured and the guy just
not.
He was also the guy who had the book Russian hackers mean he was
in Moscow on a hotel Wi Fi or some shit like that.
Yeah, I believe that was him too. Okay, so let's play this.
Listen to him.
across South Korea today hope this historic handshake means
peace is finally in the air. President Moon Jae In, who met
Kim Jong Un to help organize this summit said he was so
excited. He couldn't sleep last night. But now focus here is
turning to that curveball. President Trump saying while US
troops would remain in South Korea, no more war games.
We will be stopping the war games, which will save us a
tremendous amount of money. Unless and until we see the the
future negotiation is not going along like it should.
But twice annual war games and joint exercises are the
cornerstone of the military alliance between the US and
South Korea. We visited them extensively in F 16. On firing
ranges on patrol always told by commanders. They're essential
for the safety of South Korea and American troops and their
families based here. But apparently, no one told the
South Koreans President Trump promised Chairman Kim he'd
scrapped them.
Now I have some quotes here. Interestingly, from HuffPo
headline South Korea blindsided by Trump war games agreement.
And here's what they have, quote wise. Trump made the remarks at
a news conference after summit with North Korean leader Kim
Jong Un in Singapore calling WarGames expensive and quote
provocative. South Korea's presidential Blue House said it
needed to quote to find out the precise meaning of intentions of
Trump's statement while adding that it was willing to quote
explore various measures to help the talks move forward more
smoothly. So you're right. It wasn't exaggeration, if that's
all there was to it. They're saying I'm not quite sure what
he means by that we'll find out.
Yeah. And then
the fraseri back to the McMasters quote, he says we
don't know You know, the guys, the President and I say she'll
say something and it gets down to us. It's not that he's
talking to us.
Yeah, and I Oh, this is very interesting. I should have
looked for these quotes earlier. USFK, which is the US United
States Forces Korea, I think, has received no update updated,
updated guidance on execution or cessation of training exercises
to include this fall schedule said to include this fall
schedule Ulchi Freedom Guardian, US forces in Korea spokeswoman
Lieutenant Colonel Jennifer Lovett said in a statement
quote, in coordination with our South Korean partners, we will
continue our current military posture until we receive updated
guidance from the Department of Defense and or Indo Pacific
Command. So it wasn't quite the outrage and while blindsided and
what it was, at least not from the quotes and this is HuffPost
I figured they had worse quotes. They put that in, but then they
just grabbed one South Korean official said he initially
thought Trump had misspoke I was shocked when he called the
exercises provocative. A very unlikely word to be used by a US
president the official said speaking on condition of
anonymity because it was a politically sensitive issue. So
the official statements are very different than this unofficial
stuff that is again, anonymous sources. Nice. Okay,
good. Figured it out.
Yeah, once again, these guys are full of shit. Kinda. So let's go
to part three. i We got an angle out of the way him, he'd
scrapped them. Right. I said no, he did. He's still still here
him he'd scrapped them. A South Korean military official told
NBC News, we need to find out the exact meaning or intention
behind his comments. American forces in South Korea said they
too received no updated guidance on execution or cessation of
training exercises. Canceling these war games as seen here as
a major concession to North Korea, and this morning, North
Korean media is reporting that Kim Jong Un demanded it and
President Trump complied.
Now of course, English
probably that's probably exactly what it said. And
now it's probably last clip of this group. Yeah, as far away
yeah. They said the last clip of this group has got I put y'all
here because there's there's a real funny bit in here.
All right, Richard angle in Seoul for us and I thank you.
One issue that did not receive much discussion during this
summit was the brutal reality of life in North Korea. Kim Jong
Un's regime has been accused of appalling human rights
violations against his own people, as well as the
mistreatment of American prisoners and bases. Hallie
Jackson has more on what wasn't said at this historic face to
face before
we get into that. I was just thinking 80 to 120,000 political
prisoners is what they say. Yeah, we have two and a half
million prisoners in America. Yeah, two and a half million and
I'm sure it will prisoners. I'm sure they're all treated just
fine.
In Singapore smiles and a stroll from Kim Jong moon but back home
a UN report paints a much more grim picture one of
extermination murder.
last report, the UN release was 2014 So I'm just saying it's
this is old news. I'd love to get an updated report
enslavement
torture prints.
Back it up a little because I did her little laundry list of
horrors it's just face to face.
In Singapore smiles and a stroll from Kim Jong moon but back home
a UN report paints a much more grim picture one of
extermination, murder, enslavement, torture,
imprisonment, rape, crimes against humanity
know enough about Austin
his country does love him his people you see the fervor they
have a great fervor, but when
he calls fervor, the UN calls indoctrination. Another in the
long and disturbing list of human rights abuses Kim's
accused of
it was discussed it was discussed relatively briefly
compared to D nuclearization. Well, obviously, that's where we
started and where we ended, President
Trump didn't dwell on the negative instead repeatedly
pointing to the positive. He's a very talented Kim Jong moon, as
you know, has killed family members has starved his own
people is responsible for the death of Otto Warmbier. Why are
you so comfortable calling him very talented?
Well, he is very talented. Anybody that takes over a
situation like he did at 26 years of age and is able to run
it and run it tough. I don't say. It was nice. I think
without Otto, this would not have happened.
It was a year ago today that Warmbier was returned to the US
in a coma. He died within a week of coming
home. Yeah, that's an irritating fact.
Yeah, well, we don't know the story, because I don't have any
buddy.
But But I always enjoy being told by the mainstream media, as
you know. He's killed family members, He fed them to the
dogs. So we really we really don't have I again, I'm totally
open to believing it. But this just now I was reading this
book. I want to teach his daughters gave it to me to read
actually, you don't really read it because she's it's a graphic
novel. Like, Oh, that's interesting and wonder what
graphic novel means. It turns out it's pictures.
You didn't know. I didn't know. And
that's funny. This guy is an animator. And he wrote about his
time in North Korea working with North Korea, the North Korean
animation company. And yeah, it's weird. And there's a lot
wrong. There's no people in the in the big hotels.
But
it didn't just didn't seem quite as bad. From a gulag
perspective. I mean, the fact that there's people from other
countries in their work and and there's lots of them, there's
NGOs they got, they have parties on Friday night and the one
reporter that was on the CBS overnight is the guy we've seen
him before. He's always over there. He's kind of a neutral
reporter because he's like, he said, I get I guess he's the
guest of the government are suddenly I'm not sure what to
how you how you play that game to do that kind of work. But I'm
sure one of these days we'll have a nice little book that
you're sure you will. I'm sure he will. I've got a
some responses here from my new favorite. I'm kind of moving
away from Stephanie rule that I'm moving on to Nicole Wallace
that she she hasn't she's the the midday segment.
She's an old old hack. She's been there forever.
She is hateful. And it's not she's horrible. Yeah, but I
think there's some good clips to be had
because she's well before you go there. I just want to wrap up my
okay with my with my 11 Second PBS summary. Okay.
The president today dismissed doubters and proclaimed the
North Korean nuclear Menace is over. Instead, he insisted,
quote, our country's biggest enemy is the fake news on the
dollar tuning.
Now that I'm glad you played that, because that is indeed
what he said. Let me replay this. How come that doesn't
work, I think got to go back.
The president today dismiss doubters and proclaim the North
Korean nuclear Menace is over. Instead, he insisted, quote, our
country's biggest enemy is the fake news.
So he said, our country's biggest enemy is the fake news.
Here's CNN discussion with Rolf and the chip Todd did the other
What's that guy? He's got one of these guys discussing now
remember, the tweet was this country's enemy is the fake
news. And
he would rather just attack the media for daring to do our jobs,
which is to kind of evaluate what he
still looks at. I mean, it's so unoriginal to him. And there's
no president, a political figure who likes the media. And so he's
trying to outdo Nixon, one thing not to like the media, we've all
worked in this news business for a long time. Everybody's always
criticizing us and not happy with our coverage, whether it
was President Clinton or President Bush or president.
They're all criticize. But it's another thing to say that, you
know, it's not North Korea, it's not Iran. It's not Russia. It's
not China. It's journalists, like, Who Who are the enemy of
the American page, one of the things that bothers me most
about the President is I don't even take what he's saying,
seriously, it's that he's so casual about throwing out
language, and that you really undermine the presidency when
you do that, because there will be a time after Donald Trump,
believe it or not. And he is doing damage to this notion of
do we believe what the President says. But we live in an
environment where social media principally allows so much
hyperbole that now the president engages in it, and it becomes
kind of the bloodstream of our public discourse, where you
could say something that over the top, and that would be the
president united states who says it and that, and I don't take it
seriously, which is a problem too, because he's not really
being serious when he says, but a lot of people do take it
serious. And it's having an impact. A lot of his supporters
believe that we are the enemy of the American people. And that is
a really, really awful situation. We are not the enemy
of the American people. We love the American people.
So there's a lot to unpack there. We really love you. We
love you, please. So they fake the you know, this is a case of
Ki who fits the shoe puts it on. He said fake news. He didn't say
journalists, he didn't say the media. He said fake news.
And many a time he said In fact, one of his recent press
conferences, he went off on fake the one that we had some clips
from. He went off on the CNN guys fake news. And he talked to
other pieces. There's a lot of a lot of good journalism, and he
was very friendly with a number of them that were at that press
conference. But he just pointed out CNN. Yeah. And he says it
him. Trump himself says there's lots of good journalists out
there.
Yeah. But these guys took it immediately to Trump's as
journalists and journalism, I think even I heard they're in
the media is the actual ad. Now, I agree with that actual
statement. But that's not what he said. I think you and I both
agree. The M five M is dangerous to people's health. Yes, it's
like opioids. So anyway, here's Nicole Wallace and with her,
just to give you an idea of how they think, is bored editorial
board member from the New York Times. And what is her name?
Mara gay. And here's their take on it. But
this is not just a meeting about foreign policy. This is about
Donald Trump's political survival. He has said to
friends, that he plans on taking a win in North Korea to the
voters. That's their midterm message. That's all they've got.
That's right.
I mean, that's what's actually so terrifying, in part, because
I think we're going into this and if we're thinking about
this, realistically, we know enough about President Trump to
know that he's not going to come home and say that he failed.
He's all this a
win. Fairy over there to help them build more nukes and say we
want to do that. Yeah,
that's right. So so we're already at such a disadvantage,
I think going into this. And so then the question becomes, well,
if he's going to frame this as a win, what's that going to look
like? What does that look like in terms of sanctions in terms
of giving him, you know, international legitimacy that he
didn't otherwise have? And quite frankly, I mean, you look at the
polls. It's really interesting, because the more we're talking
about North Korea, you know, like, the less we're talking
about Russia. Right. The last we're talking about issues at
home. And I think you see, yeah, that's true for Kim, I'm sure as
well.
Why is the New York Times editorial boards so worried that
they're not talking enough about Russia?
Is that journalism? No,
I don't know what's going on. I mean, it did. That was very,
very bizarre clips that nobody listens to these guys. Most of
you, by the way.
I know. I'm sorry.
It is a very, very bizarre lip. Very strange.
It's been a while, especially from New York Times editorial
board member. I thought that was
why are they Yes. Why are they concerned about, like trying to
guide the new cycle?
Yeah, that that would be a report. Yeah. That would be my
accusation. What is
said what they said? Yeah. Yeah, well that way, why do they care?
Why don't they just do their job? Women? What didn't
Mika Brzezinski famously say that? That she said, we you we
report we tell you what to believe.
Yes. I'm like that. Wish we had that? I might have that.
Let me see. Lee, see maybe, Matt? No, I can't find it. But
anyway, that is
said it's hard to label it's up like that. So we'll get lost.
More try. The challenges on find area think I know I
couldn't find it. It's in here somewhere. I can't find it.
Sorry. What I do have unless you have another clip, I have kind
of a wrap up that I thought was interesting. It's a little
longer clip. But it really puts a lot of this into perspective
from a very, very different viewpoint. Do you have anything
else you
want to you want to good to go? Yeah,
okay. Because I'm kind of looking for now. What is the
deconstruction? What is really going on? What is really
happening here? Could we know nothing? The only thing I know I
talked to the fish guy at the supermarket. And he's he's South
Korean. He was born there. Oh, yeah. Source I have a sources.
So what do you think? He says, Well, selfishly, I really hope
it doesn't happen. This is great that we don't have any war and
all that'd be great news if people can visit their family
but selfishly, he said, you know, everybody in my in my
hood, they see this as well. This is like East and West
Germany, and it's gonna cost us a lot of money. And he was quite
clear. He's like, you know, just when we're kicking ass with LG,
you know, we own the entire pop music market. Kpop courses is
gangbusters. What are the Samsung? He says we're really
kicking ass. And we don't want to have to suffer with those
damn the North Koreans. To which I said, well, maybe there's a
match made in heaven. If you take it, because apparently,
North Korea has a lot of resources, like cell phones
stuff type resources.
Oh, you mean? Yeah. Rare Earth,
minerals and elements and all that. And so yeah, make them
mine chips. Put the factories up there with all the smoke up in
North Korea, if you want to look at it from a South Korean
perspective. And you could be a real powerhouse. I'm thinking,
but he's probably write it on the surface. But if you haven't,
if you look at it, in hindsight, yes, it was damaging for a short
period. But now the German Republic is stronger than ever.
Now they rule all ever, not ever know. They've had some winning
logos drawn. So Steve botanic did one of his YouTube videos.
Many did this on the fifth of June, so a week before the
actual Summit, and he talks of a trifecta taking place. And he
logs the President say this is all the president's doing. He's
super smart. And I think it's worth listening to because
there's stuff in here that I had not considered and stuff we can
look out for. And maybe we'll learn more about botanic at the
same time,
whatever you hear or see on the surface has it completely
opposite meaning in the covert world, or in the world of the
CIA? Let me explain. Number one, North Korea, South Korea will
get together in Singapore and Trump will create a process
where there will be peace between North and South Korea.
That was kind of dicey. But in fact, Trump used everything he
needed to nail distortion and deception. The most interesting
part, which is part two of this deal, is the fact that Dr.
Bashar Assad, the president of Syria, is also interested in
meeting with Kim Jong Un of North Korea. Now why is that
relevant to what is happening now in Singapore? The reason it
is relevant is that Dr. Bashar Assad, whom I've known
indirectly and I knew his father, and I've been
interrogated by his people 10 years ago, is a very smart man.
He knows that he can no longer rule over a country that's
divided and in turmoil. So he wants security. He wants to make
sure that there's peace, and he wants to work with Trump and
North Korea. Now, why would he work with North Korea because
the Syrians and North Koreans have been together, attacking
Israel many decades ago, but in fact, Israel has worked with
North Korea, indirectly buying its phosphate and coal. North
Korea despite all the sanction has been exporting coal through
Japan and Russia, so who is involved in this meeting?
Besides North Korea, South Korea and Japan, it will be Russia.
And it will be other countries in the Middle East who want
peace. So we have a doubleheader here. While Trump is being
attacked, he's also initiating a peace treaty between Bashar
Assad, Israel and Iran. Iran also works closely with North
Korea. And Iran also works closely with Israel, because in
2006, Israeli soldiers had Passover in Iran. In 2016. The
Israelis were shipping oil and infrastructure. So much of what
you hear on the surface is the complete opposite. Now for the
trifecta. The third person that's involved in all of this
is John Brennan. I have criticized John Brennan, but I
also understand how important he is to this process. Why John
Brennan has increased the amount of criticisms he's made against
Trump. And that's not an accident. He has said that Trump
is not democratic, he should not be pressing United States. What
any, in fact he is doing as we do in the world of the CIA is
he's covering his own mentee, or protege in this case is Gina
Haspel, who working with Pompeo has been very effective along
with all the CIA operatives and military intelligence to put
together an incredible peace treaty between North Korea,
South Korea, as well as a peace treaty. We're Syria, Jordan,
Israel, Iran, and Russia will all come together. Now, why am I
so sure of this trifecta, because more and more noise is
coming out of these three elements North Korea, Russia,
and Syria, all of which make no sense on the surface. But when
you think of it in paradoxical intention, and you reverse all
of the elements involved, that is denial, distortion,
deception, you begin to see a picture which Trump could only
have created because he thinks big. He leverages his assets and
covers his downside. So I expect the trifecta to come out of
Singapore, North Korea, South Korea peace treaty, Syria
initiating a peace treaty and with Iran and Israel, and Russia
initiating another treaty with Iran, Israel, North Korea and
China.
Now, I tried to paint this picture. I couldn't do it. But I
thought, That's so outrageously. It's just outrageous statement,
the thought, let's
pay attention to my point of ridiculous optimism.
Yeah, well, he calls it the inverted whenever you call it,
like the upside down exactly the opposite. I don't know. I don't
know if his optimism or he doesn't.
He's not. The outcome is optimistic, but he's not really
an optimistic guy believe. Right? Which makes you wonder,
yes. Which is why you're gonna go by his own theory. Everything
he said is BS. What do you mean? Well, he says everything that
people are saying is just the opposite because it's all part
of a scheme. For him to
Hey, man. Q says it's true.
I just quickly on cue, if this truly you're an informant who
flies on Air Force One, then and you know, and it's connected to
the to the to the President and his secret segments Q and not Q
anon. Yeah, Cubana.
But while we bake, just before you go on that I don't think
1/10 of our listeners even know what you're talking about once
you've given a little background on this, because it's not
something we ever talked about on the show.
We have brought it up in the past, yet, typically, mockingly.
So there is this person who showed up on I don't force 4chan
or eight chan or 16 SHAN Or 60s origin. Yeah. And the under the
handle Q anon and started posting cryptic messages that
included stuff like follow the White Rabbit. And there's a
number of people who are completely convinced they have
cracked multiple codes. And it's between what Q writes and what
the Trump tweets and look, he misspelled this word the same
way that it was misspelled there. And there's numerology
involved. And, and that's like
the guys. What do who decode the Bible, and they take you like
the first word in the upper left hand corner, then you correct
you do down dishes? One Yes.
You expect Tom? Hey, Tom Hanks Lu, the movie version of Q anon.
Exactly. Yeah.
Yeah, he'd be Q anon. And,
and I was okay. I've of course I've looked at it and I've just
like, you know, this, this connecting dots and and there's
a lot of people are so adamant about this. There's tons of
archive websites and people really, really believe it. But
the reason why I'm not believing it is every little shitheel who
is maybe some kind of informant gets the full coal raking from
the M five M Guccifer Gusa for we why do we even know goose for
two point O 's name? You know these these kinds of names fuzzy
bear the Bozo bear the Huggy Bear you know all these
different bears we know all the codes everything but never a
single thing about Q anon ever. Have you seen it on the M five M
has ever shown up. This is it's big enough. It's really big
enough for them to pick up on it. So I think it's, it's time
is coming. Some kind of SIOP is certainly keeping people busy.
Keeping people busy and happy they voted for Trump, so that's
okay. Yeah, fine, do that, but I'm not buying it. I see real no
evidence. And now people are gonna say I quit listening. I
blocked you on Twitter. But this I just don't see it. I just
don't see it. Now, before we take a break, I certainly didn't
see it. And I owe a big apology to Marc Maron of the WTF
podcast. And I've really messed it up.
I want to second the apology even though I really didn't know
anything about the whole thing because it was a surprise to me
too. But I was partly responsible because I was I was
thinking to myself, because Mary made a big fuss about it on
Twitter. And
well, let me let me go back and just say what happened? One of
our producers Sunday email me and I do my prep in the morning,
emailed me and said, Here's a discrepancy in this bit where
Maron republished the his original interview from 2011
with it with Anthony Bourdain. And there's a piece in the
original where he talks about Chantix and how it makes you
loopy and makes you want to commit suicide and he's a
lifetime smoker. And whenever he feels like cheating or is
cheating on with smoking, he goes on the Chantix and Dan
could not find this in the Repost that episode. And to me,
the entire connection between Anthony Bourdain is death and
Chantix is what matters. But as a as a beautiful as a beautiful
aside the fact that it was missing from Marc Maron podcast
made and I think the way the conversation went is I
questioned I said, Well, maybe it's just trying to be
politically correct, because he talks about suicide, which would
be kind of wimpy. Could be that, you know, his advertisers didn't
want that or that there may be some advertising issue there.
And so but I think without a doubt, we said, well, this this
will be totally moly, the even though they've gotten to the
podcast now. So it was not great because I didn't Chaillot
shocker. Now what happened is in Dan is extremely embarrassed,
he's mortified. And he wrote me an email, he said, Hi, Matt,
because he really did look for it. He couldn't find it. Because
Marin republished with a different intro and different
commercials. And that's why the time difference was so off. And,
you know, so it was not malice on anyone's part. What happened
though, is some of our fine producers on Twitter just went
hey, Marc Maron, you farm a shill.
So grief
in he is he really is a he's? I don't know. It's hard. There's
no context in text. But even my harshest critics, I don't answer
that way. But no, it doesn't matter. I take responsibility. I
did not check it. And I fucked up and I'm really sorry. I
apologize to him and his production crew, because quite a
lot of people apparently put that together. And what hurts me
the most is I'm going to take my clip of the day away. So gone.
Yeah. Well, you had three clips of the day for that show. So
yeah, it's not like you're suffering. But I mean, there's
no blood loss. Now.
There isn't and I think we should give him some Pharma.
You've got Pharma.
There you go. So
yeah, he said, I sent him a note saying we'd apologize. Yeah. And
you did so in the newsletter.
We'd like to do we don't mind doing that. It's not like we're
butthurt because we have to apologize. I think it was a good
thing to do. And we do correct our mistakes on this show. And I
mentioned that in the newsletter. Yeah. George was
taken the newsletter.
What did you do wrong in the newsletter, it
was a typo. I had rewritten one of the things when I was talking
about the apology to Marc Maron coming and I left a word out so
I had to have to open the newsletter to to read it to you
but there's a word missing and say that it was right and the
reason it happened because this happens the only time there's
going to be type of we have a lot of people check the
newsletter. They don't always do it. I always do a read through
out loud. But then at the end some once in a while. I'll go
back into the newsletter. I'm trying to Dennis I decided I'm
gonna do it last minute tweak
and you send it to Three people, one of which is me. And we're
all supposed to find mistakes. And we miss them too sometimes.
Well, this mistake didn't go to you because this was one of the
before I ship, I do a last minute tweak. I look at his
sentence and say, you know,
oh, no, just before it dropped, you pull it backward dropped.
And so I made it and I got the word out because then when I
clipped and moved things around, it's just a word was missing.
And one guy wrote in and said, hey, you know, you got your
screw this up. But anyway, so yeah, we wanted to get that out
of the way.
Also, just going back to the most of it. And this is what I
find. The saddest is that I believe that there is a very
real possibility of a linkage of linkage between Chantix, which
can definitely make you suicidal. Then Anthony Bourdain
is death. And there's more there are a few alternative news
outlets picking up on this and asking questions. But then Rose
McGowan came out with a statement and she said, Well, he
didn't take doctor's advice. And he was having a rough patch. And
the rough patch may be the fact that she was making out with
another guy, which he then rebut rebuffed as well. We have
Anthony and I have an open relationship.
Rose McGowan.
Now Asia I'm sorry, eight, his girlfriend.
Oh, yeah, the boy who is I set it out for so. Asia Argento is
friends with McGowan. And McGowan wrote a communique at
the behest of Asia. And in that she said, you know, he didn't
listen to us. This is then from his girlfriend through Rose
McGowan that he did not take his doctor's advice in, quote,
depression battle. But you know, if you're in France, and you
know, your girlfriend's hanging out, and then putting pictures
on Instagram of making out with some other young doula,
maybe the Instagram photos and the whole social media thing had
something to do with it, then it could it could. And then and
then just throw in this is stupid is stupid. What how these
are adults that put in pictures of themselves kissing people.
Yeah, I mean, this is like what kids do in high school, maybe?
Yeah.
Welcome to the universe.
Well, I want to add the since you brought this up, before we
go and do our next thing, next block, I might as well bring
this clip in because I noticed that the mainstream media wasn't
just one network. I think I have the NBC version. They all
because of this situation. And I think you know, and I would
imagine that Marin's influence had something to do with it too,
which is the idea that Chantix might be a culprit is to create
a smoke screen. No, no Shantae is not to go and believe me,
everybody played this, the story. It's all sorts of
possibilities here. And this is the medicine and depression puff
piece that I have a clip of
a warning tonight some of the medications Americans most
commonly take could have serious side effects, depression, even
suicidal symptoms.
You are in a black hole. You can't get out you can't move you
can't call for help.
Mary Curran Hackett has battled depression and survived two
suicide attempts. While her reasons were many she's
convinced her medication may have contributed
I felt lonely. And suicide seemed like the best option for
me at the time.
Now new research published in the Journal of the American
Medical Association finds 38% of adults use a medication that can
have depression as a side effect. 200 medications not just
antidepressants, beta blockers and opioids already linked to
depression, but also GABA pension, prednisone,
prescription dose ibuprofen, and over the counter acid reflux
medications.
The more medications you're on, the greater the likelihood of
having a side effect from the medication, including
depression.
Psychiatrists Joshua Weiner, are we simply an over medicated
society and we don't know how these meds interact?
I think so. I think the problem is in this country we're looking
for the quick fix. We turned to medicine before we turned to
lifestyle.
Wow, whoever said that has some clue.
Well, that's true, but this this whole storyline has never
mentioned Bourdain didn't have anything to do with anything
going on what it was an out of the blue story and I think it
was set up as a smokescreen just so oh well depression though.
You can't bring that topic up because this is everything
you're taking ibuprofen In fact, in fact, I use ibuprofen
occasionally. And my daughter comes up she ibuprofen causes
depression. And then I just said, there's no none that I
know that I know of, but I mean, why we listened to that clip and
in that clip, they mentioned ibuprofen, but they say
prescription strength.
Well, this is is interesting, the this research paper I'm
looking at the copy of it from The JAMA Network, I think is one
of those official places where you publish research. Yeah. And
this was published on June 12 2018. So the timing is
beautiful. If you're talking about creating a smokescreen,
it's like hey, we got that emergency backup paper ready
you know, as an editor when I was editing InfoWorld I would
have under my desk a stack of pre written material haha
because our pay our page count would vary too much for a normal
magazine it would just go up and down and up and that's all I
needed all of a sudden bring out a pack stacks of stairs fill
with this really so you always have all editors I believe most
of them have at the ready stuff like that.
What is what is so interesting though, is that in all the
reporting because I I put a number of them in the in the
show notes related to this topic. None of them mentioned
smoking cessation drugs, as you know, we go to birth control
your hormonal birth control medication. What else do they
have? Some painkillers Here we go. hormonal birth control blood
pressure, heart medication painkillers and was an acid
reflux. They got everything in there. But let's not mention the
smoking cessation drug that has proven to drive people
wacky. It's almost as though they got wind of some people
bitching about Shan Tex in particular. And the Bourdain
thing in particular, they got wind of it may be getting some
traction. We've been talking about it for one and oh five.
Yeah, we're getting no traction, but maybe it's gonna start
getting traction. Let's throw the smoke screen up and then you
know, that'll kill it. And it did. And with
that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the
morning to you John. C stands for Chantix communique. He
DeVore hag
in the morning you miss Rademacher also in the morning
all ships to see the boots on the ground defend the assumption
that water and all the names and nights out there.
Yes in the morning to the troll room. No agenda stream.com
Thanks, trolls. Good to see you. Miss you for days. And I'd like
to thank the artists for episode 1041. The title of that was
Harry Mary and we had the weaponize Chantix ammunitions
box. As the artwork we chose that Mike Riley did that and we
appreciate what he did was the starting starter month box
Chantix tablets it just fit it fit well. Art was tough. I
recall. Yes, we had to dig we did dig but it's appreciated and
all the work that our artists do who
do with you know the topics sometimes don't lend us throw us
true mystery or it's
still it's outrageously cool that we get new art for every
single show. No agenda art generated are calm you can look
at all of them. That's all under our open source concept. And you
can also go to no agenda shop.com Get some of your
favorite art mugs and T shirts. It's good stuff. Welcome to the
party.
All right well so we start off with good news and bad news. Oh
so our donor a ser ani must have Dogpatch and Laura Sylvia Yes.
Amen. With six it says 650 was actually it should be 1300 what
that what is that? Hopefully it will be he will do this again.
But he he sent an envelope with two half
Krugerrands Hmm. Gold Coins? Yes.
So only one arrived now on arrive loose in the envelope. He
had a minutes little containers but he taped down but he didn't
do a very good job of taping her down because one of the crew
because they get beat up and these machines
do that. So it was a new master cyst packaging. No.
Oh, that's the problem. And so it was like just just just loose
coins. And so he's got these which always getting these but
so he had to two coins and they got both of them got out of
their little plastic container. And one of them got out of it
was beaten, flying around. This is a very heavy coin. And it
just pushed a hole in the envelope and snuck its way out
and in the Postal Service's happy Yes. And the other coin
was just rolling around in the envelope. So when I open the
envelope it fell right out. So I want to make that
just as a so that's half an ounce, one Krueger and a half.
They're both half ounces, right cougars, right so the reuvers
holons
Yes. And which is $1,300 Give or take. Yeah, like like we're
gonna go to the gold market and sell it
We'd be keeping it. Yeah. But so we're just kind of very
disappointed that that happened. But this sort of thing.
Well, but the thought and gesture is appreciated.
And I thought was a good idea. And I've never had a cougar in
my hand. Unfortunately, still haven't. I've only had half
cougars. Yeah. But anyway, I wanted to thank him for for
driving, zoom or care, I think would have would have made a
difference. Does
he have a note? Yes,
he always has a note. And J and K might as well say at the top.
Thank you to all the producers that keep the show packed with
information and add value to its listeners. For non donors. If
this network is good enough to listen to six hours a week, it's
worth six minutes of your time to donate something. With this
shows help watching M five M is rare. And when I do I see it. I
see embedded bias in the press. During a recent builds, as we
pointed out in this report on North Korea, during a race and
nobody read the document, during a recent broadcast of a
president T conference. I saw different channels displayed
next to each other on two TVs. In one Mr. T and his red tie
popped right out. On the other he was washed out thinking it
might be different television tuning, I reversed the channels
of the TV's TV with the washed out Mr. Trump made him vibrant.
And the vibrant TV made him look washed out. I noticed the same
thing on for more televisions tuned to the two networks. Let's
just speculate which network has filters. The observation has
drawn me to wonder about network camera filters to to have you to
have more observation. So I asked Do you notice network
camera filter bias?
network camera filter bias?
She I think that would be I don't think that'd be done as
filled. I think there'll be done at the at the engineering level
when you do the color balancing for the feed the whole network
feed?
I can it's hard for me to imagine a professional in the
field doing that to the image it is it is such a you know,
reading and this kind of these guys are you know, that's their
professional integrity. I mean, if they're willing to give that
up. I don't I don't think that
we actually do that are not political, usually. Anyway,
pictures powerful and who believes the words pasty faced
washed out speaker? Well, there was a discussion.
Well, well, we got photography. Yes, the bias is there. We know
100% Just look at the angle and Merkel angry versus Angular
Merkel happy photo of her leaning over the desk of Trump
at the g7 that bias of course that bias is there. So
and there was a discussion I don't know if it was on
frontline or if it was actually on CBS itself discussing using
close ups, bad close ups on 60 minutes. And it's possible that
something is amiss. But we don't have any evidence for Muhammad
Ali we try Global Entry. My wife renewed her passport last year
and didn't renew Global Entry four of the five entries since
we're quad s worse, okay, he's just does
that mean that means he had to go into the little bad boy room.
So he's this guy he's saying for all you muslim listeners.
Attention attention Muslims. Here's what Welcome to America
Muslim.
Okay, my wife renewed her passport and she didn't renew
global entry for the five entries required as worst last
month she made a joking comment to an Emirates stewardess Oh,
who are required to report suspicious issues. Cheese after
that was after a quad s search in Dubai before boarding. And
that despite being a citizen, she still gets nervous going
through immigration. Yes, she has a status on the airline and
was front of the button and was front of the bus. When she
collected her bags and immigration officer from across
the baggage claim area made a beeline for her. And she spent
the next 45 minutes going through her bags. Next. And this
is all believable.
Yeah. Well, I just wanted to say that when Tina and I came back
from from Mexico, we came through Houston. And yeah, I
have the Global Entry. And I've already seen that it's really
not a lot of benefit. And says that now just go through with
you. I don't need to I don't need to be like ahead of you and
stand there and wait for you to come through just to wait
together for the bag. That's rude. And the machines this now
it's just all kiosks everywhere. And the machines are more modern
than the Global Entry machines. They work better. They're
faster. They seriously they're much better than than these
older models. And then so there's a little bit of a line
but there's just a guy going up paper. Okay, good, good, good.
Good. You go through and you're done. On is almost no difference
except for the $450 I paid for it. And I guess if your name is
Muhammad, you want to have it because you know, hey sorry
about that and I'm embarrassed I'm embarrassed for sure.
Next advice I keep pics of jewelry with their receipts on
the mushroom cloud for such events so you can show proof
rather than argue over ownership when you return jewelry from the
wedding season. Yes, I have paid taxes twice on some items just
to get through.
Can okay he's getting targeted man
is irked imagine producers and now they dead that's why he's so
anonymous. Now
what now? What is the mushroom cloud besides the obvious in
the cloud? He's just joking around okay. He He doesn't need
to be known as a no agenda supporter. Anyway, okay.
Because you have two times quad S
Okay, here we go. These wires wrapping that we're wrapping
producers please create a quote. republics are not democracies.
dzingel. Every time I hear our government referred to as a
democracy and clips I get upset. Yeah. And it seems to be getting
worse. Okay, that's that's an issue in itself. And there's
probably reason for that. Yeah. So lead the change please it and
correct it every time. We corrected a lot. We do it but we
can't hear but he's right. You can't correct it all the time,
because it would be tedious because these guys keep saying
it. Yeah. And closer some original bitcoins ad style.
Those are the two coins we're talking about. Volatile value
originated from an illegal mine in a boycotted country. But it
works everywhere when the grid is down. Yeah. Well,
he sadly we saw in this particular case that the Bitcoin
might have reached its destination. Yeah. So there's
something to be said for for the old sneaker network. There you
have it.
Thank you very much. Your Honor must have both the letter and
the contribution the crew Ron's crew runs

Pizza Kolpin 200 bucks the Bourdain Chantix segment was

Damn.
Thank you, Keith.
Robert Umbarger inland Pennsylvania, which may be
Lancaster, but I guess not. Lan.
It's gotta be it's gotta be Lancaster. That's what
I would say out but my buddy you never know. Is my second
donation is totally worth it. Everyone who listens should
support the show. I need a D douching.
Yeah, we can do that.
You've been d do shut up. Tell you. I've been around
Pennsylvania quite a bit back in the radio days because I got a
lot of really bad top 40 stations. And in the Lancaster
area. That is one of the places in the United States that I felt
most isolated. And I don't know why just whenever I think of
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, I just remember like, wow, where the
hell am I? Have you ever been to me? It's a proper city, you
know, but as I recall that so vividly, like this feels far,
far away and you're not in Pennsylvania. Anyway, just your
drive to Philly. Sidenote, either Pittsburgh or Philly
you're always can go to those places or Harrisburg.
Harrisburg. Yep, in there. WS qv. The Sasquatch, Hannah
Valley, everybody.
I want to give a shout out to my amazing wife, Laurie. Today June
14, Flag Day is her birthday. We could have promoted that a
little better. If you could, yeah, anyone want to flag day
donation. Today's the day if you could get her birthday to the
list and hook her up with a milk jingle and some karma for our
new house and second human resource on the way that would
be great. Happy Birthday Laurie. She claimed she listens to the
show on Sundays with me when we are working on the house hanging
out. It really spurs some great discussions about the news and
current culture. Thank you both very much for all the hard work
you put into the show. Thank you very much.
You've got karma something very wrong about
it's very wrong. Very wrong. Very bad. Very, very wrong about
that. So we want to thank all these folks for being executive
producers and Associate Executive producers for sure.
Show 1040 to get the number, right.
Yes, we sure do. And these credits which you receive in
this special segment, just like Hollywood for executive producer
and Associate Executive Producer donations are credits that you
can actually use wherever credits are recognized will
vouch for you will talk to people have them call us we'll
say yeah, executive producer absolutely did the business. And
we'll be thanking everyone else who came in $50 or above in our
second segment. And of course, another show coming up on
Sunday, where I'm sure we'll have plenty to deconstruct.
Regarding the memo, the IG memo that came out today, of course
it comes out today. It's a show de vorak.org/n. But you'll have
plenty more to go out there and tell people as you propagate.
Our formula is this. We go out for your people in the mouth
shut up, see.
Oh, wait before we go on. I do that because I'm looking at my
galleries note that he also sent on besides the donation. Yeah.
And there is a moment here I have to read. Oh. Adam mentioned
one time bass goes on. He loves his show. And he's got some
couple notes here. But he says Adam mentioned one time they
being able to turn your car off.
Yes, I put this note on the show notes. Interesting. You bring it
up? Yeah,
they already can. I repossessed cars for money right now. And
I've had cars that are turned off by the finance companies
must be in their contracts. We also get cars by GPS sometimes,
again depends on their contract with their financier. Also, we
as a company drive around vehicles with plate scanners on
them searching for Pose. Every tag we scan is added to the
database with a timestamp photo and eight digit grid
coordinates, your your make and model and owner information if
it's a repo, I like it for work, but I think it's terrifying at
the same time.
I love that they can just turn it off remotely beautiful. Yeah,
it's inevitable. You're not in your art that's not in your
Lexus, because that's old, was not in the 9090 9293 9393.
So 25 years old is now considered a classic in
California. It's
my Nokia would look nice in your car.
It might be 71.
Yes, but that old car still has a car phone
with a cord attached to the body of the vehicle. Yeah, nice
little antenna that used to be on the roof. That probably was
the safest mobile phone it was because you didn't have a stick
and a radio receiver up against your head against your head.
Yeah. Which
and I'm a little worried about this because I've been looking
at hearing aids because it's time. And I've learned a lot.
Thank you producers for sending in all different notes. Nine no
10 out of 10 producers have recommended what store for me to
go purchase a hearing aid.
Can I guess Yes.
Allah wouldn't be Amazon because they're specifically saying go
to purchase. Yep. Now it's yours. I'm targeting Amazon
deconstructing
my words. But yes, that is correct. I couldn't be more open
ended.
So the it wouldn't be a grocery store. So it has to be one of
the chains. There's not that many left. It has to be one of
the journal drugstore chains and I would guess,
Walgreens? Not even close. Oh, Costco.
Oh, well, that's funny. The irony of that is it's That's
what you told me to go check out the prices.
Guess what? Well, after the show, we were talking about it.
Yeah. And I've already checked out the prices. But everyone has
said and we have a lot of listening instrument is not
hearing aid. It's a listening instrument. So we have a lot of
listening instrument, users in the no agenda community. And
without fail, Costco, Costco, Costco, they say? Look, you may
think that these are the new ones that cost 567 $1,000 that
are invisible. It says that it's this tech just can't do it yet.
You have DSP, digital signal processing, there's all kinds of
stuff going on. Very, very difficult to miniaturize that
inside your ear and have it deliver the same results as on
the back of the year. Which a couple of gotten some nice, no,
it's like, dude, forget about it. Would you rather look cool,
and not have visible hearing aids? Or would you be able to
like hear people, if that makes sense. And by the way, they got
some nice shiny black models and stuff. But you could hook them
up to Bluetooth? And I'm a little concerned. The Bluetooth
relay on both sides of my head. Knew in a way. Yeah, I'd avoid
it. Anyway, we're going to Costco Saturday.
Oh, last year Costco member
we became. Tina has been trying to get me to become a member of
Costco since I've known her.
Well, does she know the backstory?
The backstory of Costco? Yeah, I mean, when when I went there and
couldn't become a member?
No, when you went there and they wouldn't take your money. Yeah,
exactly. They wouldn't let me become a member because I didn't
have an American Express you had to do. Oh,
they weren't it wasn't that I was going to use my membership.
I was there.
Yeah. Well tell me how it went because I forgot it was for a
soundbar or TV or what was it? I think it
was for a TV. Yeah. And you went in there and either that or a
camera one of the two or three because I could have been the
camera but you wanted to pay for it with a credit card and they
wouldn't take it because this when they were American Express
only but now their courses credit card only changed and you
didn't have cash they would have taken the check by the way.
Yeah. You got all bent out of shape and you sow never go to
Costco again. I hate Costco. Have you even mentioned Costco.
I'll go ballistic. Don't talk about you and on and on.
And by the way, the resemblance to how I said it is just
uncanny. Perfect, just
very good. Mimic. Yeah. So that was that and so you got rich and
I tried to calm me down and saying hey, you know, it's not
that bad. It's just the way it is. They get those rules and
doubt boom. days have changed. Yes. Well, now I will like
Costco is actually a good operation.
Now. You know, now I'm having trouble hearing so now. Now of
course my tune has changed the most expensive ones. They have
is $1,500.
So which model are they recommending for you?
Well, I'm Saturday, I will do my test and we'll see what they
recommend. But it comes it's all kind of the same stuff just
comes down to how many DSPs? And, you know, like, oh, you and
what I here's what I don't want. You can use your smartphone with
an app to control it. No. I do not want that. I mean, what's
next? You might as well put those things on my glasses.
Remember those? Had the hearing aid incorporated into the
glasses?
Oh, yeah, there's that and then they can date for an extra 10
bucks. They can put a piece of tape around it graduated last
year you get complete
and make them make them that whoever came up with that sickly
earwax color for medical devices, especially for hearing
aid. It just looks like big gobs of earwax. Don't you agree with
me that always is always about it. That's good news. Well, my
grandmother was deaf at a very early age my father I mean, this
is hereditary to tell
Yeah, what what what what? Yeah, anyway. Oh, Colorado is on fire.
I think they need to shake
you got the state actually is a whole bunch of fires everywhere.
You want to do a shake one one loss? Yeah.
Well, we Colorado is pretty bad. And I think that needs three
shakes. And it'll be good. It's gonna rain in Austin and a
couple days that's always what happens when we use the rain
stick. But we're taking it on we really want to help Colorado.
Ready? Here we got 123
Is that your rain stick or is that a maraca?
I'm shaking it make them a little balls all fall out.
Oh, you shouldn't be you have got to turn it upside down. No
wonder it only writes it upside down and then I shake the little
balls at the end should not be shaken. It's just like gravity.
That's true. gravity do its work and you should not shake and it
is scary. Osborne listens to the show. And she will send me an
email. I'm no longer in face bag. So she'll have to send me
an email and she will she's the one who built them. She knows I
want to
mention you now face you should go back to Facebook. I'm not
going to go for wanting everyone thinks that you will. Rather
just pestering my wife.
So why do I have to go back to save her? Give me
your all you should talk about this. This shows you're talking
about this. You're talking about that? You know, and they were
really jacked up about this Einstein story, which was more I
think about it what's the point who?
Because he was a racist and xenophobic.
This is a this was a promotion to sell his book. Yeah. Hello.
And no one saw that on the face back. Now. Do you understand why
I'm not there? Come over to no agenda social.com. And it's just
a browser, click away if you reviewed so important, there's
smart people there too.
Yeah, you go there and then pester Adam. They're
not these networks that have DNA of their own. And I think it
goes this the same for the subgroups. Like you know, you go
into a no agenda group on face bag. It's toxic. Is this
poisonous people in there? And I got no time for it. I really
don't. I really don't I was reading through the book. We
might as well stick with face back just for a second. They
answered in a 200. And I want to say 270 page response to
Congress, you know, all the follow up questions. Yes, sir.
We'll my team will get to you and we'll we'll tell you all
about whatever. We'll answer your questions. It's quite
a dark face to face face books. Yeah. Testimony.
Yes. Till you had the testimony. But then you have the the
responses to the written questions. Have four I'm sorry,
454 pages. Big enough for you. I got some stuff though. Okay. Let
me see how I can best categorize this. Let's start with device
information. Facebook tracks what device you're using to
access the network. To do this it logs hardware manufacturer of
your smartphone, connected television, tablet, computer or
other internet connected devices. Tracks operating system
software versions a web browser if you're using a smartphone
will keep a record of the mobile carrier while internet service
providers will be storing for users using a Wi Fi or Ethernet
connection to access Facebook. In some cases, it will monitor
devices that are using the same network as you I'm not quite
sure word monitor means Facebook services inherently operating
across device basis. Okay, so they're trying to make a sound
good to ensure that the person's feed is correct. Facebook
watches the movements of your computer mouse on screen where
you're interacting with a social network. I've always said this,
but as you're scrolling and you just pause for a moment on
something, they know this and if you're pausing, you're not even
clicking. They know that and use it. Here it is. Well, of course,
they say this is this type of information can help distinguish
humans from bots. Tracking the app you use to interact with
Facebook helps the company learn the types of devices you favor,
a keeps note of the file names and your system. Data is synced
with your profile and will influence the types of
advertisements you see. So they're looking at your files
that you had no, of course, they analyze every photo, do all
kinds of recognition on it, not just the x LF data or the EXIF
data, whatever x x li F. Excellent.
Yeah, it's a that's that stuff. Yes, I am. Whatever it is.
They know if your browser windows in the foreground or the
background, if you close it, if you haven't hit a tab, we
collect information about how you use our products. And we see
time frequency of your of course as normal stuff, just how you
use it device connections connects from your smartphone,
tablet, laptop or Smart TV monitor. This is an interesting
one monitors the signal strength of your mobile data connection,
Bluetooth signals and information about near flight
nearby Wi Fi hotspots and cell towers you can actually track
someone pretty accurately with if you have the exact battery
level. If you have that data. And obviously face bags app does
all this devices that are nearby, which means if so, and
this explains you, if someone comes on to my network, then
we're going to get friend recommendations. And then
there's me say I have about 20. There's all kinds of stuff. As
well as tracking purchases made from third party websites made
online Facebook keeps an eye on your buying habits. We receive
information about a person's online offline actions and
purchases from third party data providers who have the rights to
provide us with that person's information, which is pretty
much everybody. So they get all kinds of third party info, they
track it if you bought something on a third party site, they
tracked that purchase photo shares messages sent so they
date this gives
them the right to track a purchase I made someplace else.
Well, it's the right that you gave to the person who you
purchased the product from they have the right the little Terms
of Service. And the minute you say okay, then they sell that to
face bag or they exchange it I'm not quite sure what the not
quite sure what the the mechanism of what the barter is
there. Facebook tracks your general usage, of course to
improve advertising and design features, date and time of your
visit the features you use what post videos are the content? It
does the same thing for your friends and friends of friends.
Can you imagine that three layers, not just plus one plus
two, that's quite a lot. And I think that's going a bit far.
Now the adamant they are completely adamant and we do not
activate monitor or capture microphone or camera data
without the user's knowledge and permission. And later on in the
document Facebook does not engage in these practices or
capture data from a microphone or camera without consent.
Hello, can anyone read the legalese
So in summary, device information mouse movements app

available storage space with plugins your connection speed
contact information Address Book Of course call log SMS log
history for Android users who have these settings sync they
might not know that information about how users use I like this
this verbiage. We also store and track and analyze information
about how users use features like our camera. I just thought
that was pretty brazen unless Is there a Facebook camera that I
don't know of?
You're asking me Yeah, well I don't use Facebook and I don't
follow that closely to know this but not that I know of I just
thought it was fun that they said our camera.
It's last time I checked it was worth looking into why are they
saying our camera I don't know.
The location of a photo or data file was created GPS location
camera photos information found through Device Settings purchase
made from third party data providers.
The thing that you rarely think about is the photos because
they're not just
analyzing photos on location data and aperture Your settings.
They're analyzing what's in the photo. Hey, I see a lot of dog
pics guess what kind of ads you're gonna get? I mean,
that's, you don't really think about it. But all these websites
where you're uploading pictures, they can they can know where it
is just by analyzing the background sometimes I think
that's that that technology I think they've always thought
it was incredibly, incredibly foolish for people to put
personal photos on the internet and yes, it Flickr or any place
because if I'm hiring, and I'm doing due diligence that says at
a high level, I'm going to just first thing I'm gonna do is look
at those photos and find out if you're like a goofball, right,
see a lot of drunks you know, they Hey, I'm drunk look. And
they post these photos of themselves being drunk or
goofing around or stupid stuff. Yeah. It's negative. It's not a
good positive thing for you to do. Now, why would you do it?
They don't care. They don't care. No, they don't care.
That's pretty much yeah.
We have quite an interesting situation here in the common law
condo. As one of the keeper's daughters is staying with us for
the summer, she has a final year of school coming up. And, you
know, by had the Amazon talking tube, and everyone used that for
the shopping list and turn the lights on and off, and I got rid
of it. And so I brought in Mycroft, which is the open
source one, which is slow and buggy, and it works. It works,
but it doesn't work the same. And so now they're all pissed
off at me like it's a piece of shit together. And when I got it
to do the I got it to control the Roku yesterday, I'm quite
pleased with myself. So you can just say, Show The Unbreakable
Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix and it switches and starts playing.
Yeah, that's actually a timesaver.
Oh, yeah, bed cinches unbelievable monster time. I
mean, hours,
I'm telling you, in 10 years, there'll be a lot of this and
I'm riding the wave, baby, I just don't want to ride the wave
with the with, with the big corporations in Silicon Valley.
I love the technology. And by the way, it's all regular
expressions. Every single skill as they call it, the so called
AI. It's just regular regular expressions just going every
possibility of the words you use is stored and for ready access,
and you know, the the actual translation from speech to text
that works pretty reliably. And then it just runs through this
whole database of well, what the hell did he mean? There's no AI
in there no artificial nothing. Is grepping it out?
Yeah. Anyway, I was a little perturbed on Sunday. As I was
watching the chonies, which I thought was a fantastic show.
I didn't get any clips, I guess. And there's no reason you
couldn't get a good clip of the De Niro thing. Yeah, I got a
good clip of that narrow thing you got it was uncensored.
In Australia, the feed was not censored. But let me tell you my
experience. Okay, so I'm excited. I got Choni fever. And
I thought it was great. There was all kinds of there was some
funny stuff. I liked the hosts
tell you I was stunned by Josh Groban.
Very key that guy can deliver some lines.
Now he's not a good comic, but he's a good singer. Oh, very.
He's not like that. Another girl is a real, you know, Broadway
singer. She's a superstar and she wrote all I'm pretty sure
she wrote all the comedy songs that they did, probably because
she did the play waitress which is a good play. And she's very
talented. But he I was stunned by him. I thought they're very
good hosts think they covered well for dinero dinner was
obviously put on there for that exact purpose because he's done
it before. Hold
on. Let's not let's not go there. First, I want to I
thought that you'd go because
I just want to say what I watched the Tonys because they
really predate all of this one was disappointing, but they
usually play the best bits from the various musicals, usually
the best bits. And I didn't think they did that dish. I
thought it was pretty dead thought that the acts were
pretty
well, I have not seen any of these plays or musicals. I just
love me some people do and some live on stage. And I thought the
direction was interesting. They used a lot of jibs from up top
behind, which you normally won't see, of course not if you're in
a theater, they had to keep that in mind. I'd like the pieces
they chose I really and then and so we're like a five or 10
minute delay. You know, it's like we take we didn't have to
sit there immediately. Oh, it's seven o'clock. Come on Chinese.
Now we chill, you know, I'm recording it. So we're on delay.
And then we're watching and then all of a sudden, because Bruce
Springsteen is going to show up like this would be cool. He's
going to play and then my cable box freeze it my kit, my AT and
T what's their product?
Try verse. No. And you were Uverse Do you ever Uverse
yes it which is on the on the on the fiber. It freezes. And I
can't, I can't do anything I have to reboot the box and
destroying the recording. I could not see what happened. I
missed all of Bruce Springsteen. And then you know, Tina, of
course, she's let me check the tweeters. She's Oh, something
happened. So when they nuked it, they nuked the box. And so that
you Your copy is destroyed. Now the next day, a full copy was
restored on the DVR, and they got a lot of capabilities that
I'm not aware of in this a Uverse device.
Ah, so
I think within five minutes, I found out that this had not been
censored on the feed in Australia. Here it is, if you
missed it. I'm gonna say one thing, fuck Trump. It's no
longer down with trumpets
and what blew me away the most was the crowd's reaction.
Yes. Yeah, I was actually surprised by the crowd's
reaction. It was it was deplorable. I saw
a few people, some women actually gasping putting their
hand to their mouth. And shocked Yes, I think is appropriate
appropriate behavior.
Yeah, probably.
But what what mayor's known for Nero looked dumb. Is then he was
putting his arms up like he had beaten him or something. That
was that just that just made them look stupid.
Yeah, it was it was a post from Raging Bull. Right.
So this was just dumb. And it to me, I don't care what he says we
know his stance on the president. It ruin the chonies
I think what it did it it kind of maybe it did ruin the Tonys.
But I was so stunned by the standing ovation he got for
saying just this this profanity? Yeah. That I'm thinking of as I
always do, when I see this I'm thinking here is a kind of a
culture that really relies on government support. Pretty much
every country National Endowment for the rise. Yes, they can do
it on their own and be starving artists and nobody cares. But to
do well, they need government support, and they need the
support of the public at large master how you see it. Who's
this? Yeah, and in light of that is insanely amazing to me. What
How stupid are these people?
Well, De Niro's rich, he doesn't care. He doesn't care about the
industry. I truly think he cares about trying to, well, you know
what, I'll do this out of order. So I think this I don't know,
the timeline of this. If it was before, after the chonies. It
was the Jimmy and rosemary Breslin American writer awards
in New York City. And it's a lot of young people. Who are hoo,
were honored during this. The audio is not fantastic, because
it's kind of caught on iPhone, wild Mike, but just listen to
him. Just listen to his his thinking. And he also has a nice
little Trump rotation rant in here.
What does the truth even mean today? I mean, if you're Donald
Trump, it doesn't mean any. Republican enablers in Congress,
you don't let the truth stand in the way of pathetically clinging
to power. Our country is led by a president who believes he can
make up his own truth that we have a word for that bullshit.
This is where the young writers have it all over me. You have
the vocabulary to articulate precisely and eloquently. For
example, you might say, as have many professionals that Trump
manifests a serious mental illness that renders him
psychologically incapable of discharging duties of the
President of the United States that he is afflicted with a
narcissistic personality disorder, that he's a congenital
liar. means students soulless him Moral a moral abusive
timeout a son of a bitch political but I am now you guys
are the future. Now listen here we go you know with hippo with
other with other justice people who didn't take him seriously
they laughed at them and then what happened turn around them
was too late. We can't let that happened in this country and you
guys want us to do it.
There you go. We got everything in there including Hitler
love the fact that he says I'm not political. He was a huge
massive butthurt supporter of Hillary. Not political at all
donated a lot of money to her campaign worked on her behalf.
Did that one even that one TV commercial? And B says he's not
political really?
Well, it seems to be a meme now in in Hollywood and the theater
world we can just say whatever we want. Now denier has lowered
the bar successfully. And here is actress Norma demons 20 She
plays Hermione I believe in the Harry in the 18 hour Harry
Potter play which also went to 90 Hermione see there he go. I
don't even know it's Hermione. In the 18 hour Harry Potter play
that she had
seen but it's a lot of long lace. Almost six I think
two and a half hours each each play do they do but they do
those two plays in one day. One after another. Yeah, back to
back.
Neck. Well, then I give her some grace. No wonder she's pissed.
One thing
that surprised me about Harry Potter is that even though it
doesn't,
this is variety. This is where they ultimately got to listen to
him. One thing that
surprised me about Harry Potter is that even though it doesn't
it's not as overtly political like something like Angels in
America, I sort of feel like there are moments in it. There
are things that happen with P who may not who must not be
named that he who must not be named to have real resonance
today in particularly in America. Are you aware of that?
Do you feel that
I really do believe that that's why this is resonating a lot at
the moment, London when it started, be useful. And there
was a moment went, Okay, this is the storytelling but now two to
three years later, since we've opened in London to be here you
go. Actually, this story is getting deeper and deeper and
deeper. And we as all as human beings are fighting to be
connected, but especially to be seen if you're not seen or not
heard. That's where dangerous stuff happens. That's where
people under the radar do very cruel things. And that's what
this play is about. And it's about bringing things into the
light letting your light shine. This is what Jake has always
been about, let the darkness out into the light. And that's why
I'm very proud to be here telling the story right now,
because as you intimated, those things are very important.
Should the President comes to you to Harry Potter Harry Potter
in the Cursed Child? No. Thank you.
Anybody else? Yes.
Yeah, this is a class. I did saw this too. But I didn't clip it.
But I'm glad you did. But I know you always worked about
sanctimonious Brits. Yeah, I
was gonna say just regarding the Tony Awards, it was all British
people who are winning. Yeah. But yes, sanctimony. Get out.
Show me your papers on Broadway,
Pat, timoni, as Brits commenting on our Yeah, our president can
say that stuff in your country, young lady. I don't think you
can talk that way.
They call it when they D block them or whatever thing they do
you notice
that D list D notice. But now you notice, but they're working
on regulations in Gitmo nation east. If you cannot disparage
politicians on social media. Yeah, so
yeah, well, it's all right over here. Just blast our
bats. Okay. She didn't remind Yeah, I'm sure the Harry Potter
show was great. Patti. LuPone
Laponia Oh, Petit Le poan. She has been a Trump hater for ever.
Tell me but she's she's a Tony winner Pytel upon what she plays
and
all she's she's a Broadway hack. She's been on she's been there.
She's old. She's been doing she's been doing plays for since
the 30s. I don't know how old she is. But she's very famous.
She's one of the 30s She's been one of the the kind of the grand
old ladies of Broadway.
Oh, okay. So she so she's almost like royalty of Broadway. Yes,
royalty is the word I was looking for. royalty of
Broadway. Okay, well, that explains the clip. Why should
President
Trump come to your show? Well, I hope he doesn't because I won't
perform if he does. Really, really Tell me why. Because I
hate the mother fucker. How's that?
Royalty? I tell you,
royalty. Yeah, that's Patti LuPone. Hello.
She really says that in a very harsh. That's one of the best
Ms. I've heard.
Yeah, she really dislikes him for reasons that have never been
explained. I wish people would explain their reason for this.
That is that is visceral hate.
Just play that one bit again. Why won't that play?
Because I hate the mother fucker. How's that?
Damn, she really says that in a harsh way. She
also says that you shouldn't to the point where she hates the
guy she's now talking to you know, it's almost like Yeah,
yeah, exactly. Exactly. This is just broadcasting this deep
hate, which makes you wonder, you know, as an artist and a
performative to be to be living in this world of that kind of
unbelievable hate. How's that been improve your acting skills?
No. Well, that's part of the process you can use. Oh, speak
speaking of new show alert. Barry on HBO. Barry. Yeah.
It's a story by wire. Why a BA R ry. Barry. The guy's name is
Barry. It's a series and we just finished it last night. And it's
such a good actor. I forget his name. You'll recognize him. But
the premises he's a hitman from Pennsylvania and somehow he
wants to do in a big hit in Los Angeles. And then he decided to
become an actor while he's kind of still killing people. Yeah.
It's pretty funny. Chuck Barris.
Chuck Barris who was $64,000 Question gong show that he was
the CIA guy, wasn't he?
Well, that's what he says. Okay, he was a he's a CIA man. He
was a hitman. Yeah. Fantastic. I love that.
That's great. There's a movie about it was pretty funny. So,
okay, well, let's move on to some I got a little side bit
here. And audition one of these things. I'm watching this very
good special on nature on on mods go. And apparently your
mods are our food bats love eating mods, and so they
save Yeah, we don't have a lot of moths in Austin.
I bet you don't. But but but a lot of mods have been bred
themselves or kind of evolved into mimicking the bat sound to
scramble the bats radar.
Oh, really? Yeah. Evolution for you right there.
Yeah, but the thing that came up in this in this special was a
piece of information that I've always I think I've been misled
strongly. There's things these things you get told all your
life and then you find as bullcrap. Oh, like like,
like if you have an oak closet, the moths won't go in Cedar
cedar. That's what it was cedar.
But what I heard was that moths, and butterflies are two
different species. No, butterflies or mods,
no extraordinary breakthrough. Using DNA sequencing, he is
tracing the genetic origin of all the butterflies we've
identified. Remarkably, they all share a single ancestor, a tiny
brown moth that fled the night some 50 million years ago.
Driven perhaps by the rise of bats, relentlessly hunting the
dark skies. In a world full of light, moths burst into color.
We call these daytime flyers butterflies. But they are really
some 20,000 species of colorful moths that have spread across
every continent except Antarctica.
Wow, life saving tips on the no agenda show.
It's just one of those little galling factoids. Ah, but
anyway, there's a thing because I think a lot of people have
been misled. And there it is. Take that clip and you can use
it as a barbette. Keep it on your phone.
Does that really work for you? Oh, yeah, I
make tons of money doing this.
I would like if possible, a second
gentleman. We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have
the capability to make it better than it was before. And barely
alive.
Yes, I'd like to have a little update
on your bionic eye. Oh, yeah.
How's it going within the within the
focus is is improving. So it's only it hasn't been a full week
yet. Still a little blurry. By case Yeah, but I'll tell you
this. It's
Oh, let me guess. You have x ray vision now.
There's actually some funny humor to that.
Well, you're gonna let us in on the joke or not. Yeah.
Is it too insulting to someone that would not appreciate it.
Anyway, the problem that with these with the once you get to
cataract fixed and you get a new lens, it is so bright. You have
to wear sunglasses outside, you really do I mean, you can't not
wear um, so
but that's because now your other eye is still murky and
gunky. And that's and that one now needs to be murky
and gunky. It's just it's slight, it's the edge lenses,
they over time they get, they start cutting out to light to
the point where when you're older, you only get 75% of the
light. Oh no. And so when you put this new lens, even with the
other eye being a little pretty, pretty, not as bright.
Everything is extremely bright. And then I go into the I'm now
in my own house. And I'm like Mimi says she says, we've always
felt that this house is too too bright, because I have all
lights, you know, I got lights lighting up a dining room,
you were a mailman you were living in.
So I got to the dining room light for example, I'm thinking
it's like, holy crap. I didn't know there was this bright
chandelier. And so I'm thinking of taking a couple bulbs out of
it. And it's just everything is just, oh, I've been living in
the dark we
have this technology called a dimmer, a light dimmer. You
might want to try one
of those LCDs work with light dim Oh no, no
if you have you have LEDs in your daily basis chandelier.
Yeah.
Get fancy bulbs.
go off the grid man put some candles in that bad boy. go old
school.
I'm not doing that burning the house down. I think it's silly.
i Since we're talking about this, I This brings me to this I
got these two bulbs here. I want to give some people some LED
bulb buying tip. Now,
before you even go there. We know that there is an incredible
cartel of light bulb manufacturers that started years
ago. And they all got together as Osram and Philips and GE and
they said hey, you know what? We're gonna say 1000 hours on
the bulbs and we'll go 1000 hours, maybe 1001 And they'll
pop enough to buy a new one and no one's going to let anyone in
on the big secret that there's a light bulb that has been burning
for over 100 years in a firehouse in San Francisco. No,
no, it's it's it's either Pleasanton or California I knew
I should have said California in East Bay for more than 100 years
the light bulb filament light bulbs been burning because
there's no reason this is planned obsolescence go Yeah,
well that's not the case with these LEDs these LED bulbs and
by the way those those fluorescent crap they floors a
crap fluorescent bulbs. Those things that was the big scam I
mean, I had to get I've got got rid of almost all of them they
they didn't didn't last as long as they're supposed to they burn
out they get dull. They start losing their light. They're just
terrible. I was just unbelievable scam that we did,
and I would blame the Democrats for this. Because all over we
energy
they gave us those use old bulbs. They give us those the
CFL bulbs that radioactive energy and
they buzz and they sputter Oh, they're the worst and the LED
bulbs seem to be okay, and here's I got my bulb tips. A
couple of things. And this is particularly true if you have a
cataract surgery. You want to have tungsten or just sometimes
called soft or tungsten you want the Kelvin to be below 3000. I
most of the good ones that I use are 2700 Kelvin, and they're
perfect. They get the right color. There they got a real
believable glow. You go to the ones called daylight and they're
Kelvin gets up to like 5000 Anyone else takes those
photography knows what this is about. They're so blue and
creepy that yeah, they're okay during the day because they do
apparently reflect daylight but at night, they're just horrible.
Do not buy those bulbs ever. And I learned by the way that n a b,
which is kind of this is kind of an interesting little factoid
for the broadcaster's out there that typically because
everyone's moving to LED stage lighting now because it has all
these advantages mainly
you can control the color radiance and everything. You can
do all
kinds of Anna's not hot. That's the best part. So it keeps the
studio cool. And but it turns out I talked to a guy that sells
this stuff. He says that the TV guys, all by daylight 5000
Kelvin bulbs for their shows. So when you're looking at TV,
you're looking at 5000 Kelvin to which changes the color balance
dine dramatically. And all the movie guys use the tungsten KIG
that Kelvin 27 3035. Right.
Well, that's what they need for the film. Yeah, yeah. Just a tip
that now the other
that's not just a tip, John, another fantastic no agenda tips
short that is.
Now the other thing is I recommend people you want to get
you want to get at least 100 lumens per watt minimum. If you
can get more than that as good they can do up to I think 300
lumens per watt with the with the experimental LEDs, you're
not going to find them on the market, you're going to find
some 100 lumens, I like the Tywin ti wi n which you can get
from Amazon. And then for more powerful bulbs, I like the x m
Prim, which by the way have you have more than 100 lumens per
watt and you don't want to buy the the 90 lumens 80 lumens per
watt it's just a waste of money. So that's the other key you want
to make sure to look for if you don't have 100 At least 100 per
loo I don't buy Yeah, at least 100 lumens per watt do not buy
the bulb.
So here's a question. What do I want to get from my grow
operation?
You can buy I think they have some grow bulbs because
this is the main problem with with growing is your heat
signature and your electrical bill is just you know it really
makes the cost of production costly and
with these baldy with LEDs, you can get grow bulbs do save a lot
of money for growing
another life saving tip from your no agenda show.

Andrew king of the mountains he turns 10 Today, James Dearing,
congratulations Brian Fraser, also celebrating today and Randy
Holcomb celebrates his birthday. We congratulate all of you from
the whole staff and management and the best podcast in the
universe. Just as a little side podcast ad revenues hit $314
million in 2017.
Geez, hardly anything, nothing.
It's really low. Yeah, well,
I think it's a money loser for most people. Probably. Now you
were talking about the media, you know, jumping all over Trump
and making a fuss about one thing or another? I there was a
clip from the g7. From the Reports. Yeah, that came out on
I moved this to the show this was on ABC. And when I heard
this, I don't know I think it was anybody else it was Obama or
anyone else. They would have called this an actual this was I
believe interpret what you're going to hear as a threat to his
life.
Relations are also strained with French president Emmanuel
Macron, who Trump recently hosted at the White House. Now
McCrone suggests he may be ready to give up on Trump tweeting.
The American president may not mind being isolated. But neither
do we mind signing a six country agreement if need be later
adding no leader is eternal.
Ah, yeah, a death threat.
Now. He's saying you can only go eight years, bro. That's what
he's saying.
Well, I can see the media and under any other circumstances,
stances, interpreting it as a death threat?
Yes, I I'm surprised the alt right is not all over it.
Yeah, I'm the only one who caught it.
What is wrong with all of us? Yeah, what's wrong with these
people to net neutrality expired?
Okay, let's play the bad mergers clip. So because I'm sure this
is part of it?
No, not necessarily.
Stories, Comcast made a $65 billion all cash offer for some
of the assets of 21st Century Fox. That bid is nearly 20%
higher than an all stock proposal for the same Fox assets
that Disney made. Last December. question now is will Disney try
to top Comcast offer and this brewing battle occurs just as
traditional media companies are trying to better compete with
the likes of Netflix, as we told you Comcast was expected to make
this offer if a TN T 's proposal to take over Time Warner was
approved. And as we reported a federal judge clear the way for
that deal yesterday. That
was corruption at some level. Yeah. Oh, wait, I don't anyway,
I want I want your comment on this. I just want to say that
this folds into net neutrality. And we're going to explain once
again, what our stance is on that. But I but this does have
to do with it. I agree. And the whole idea is will you have too
much pipe and too much content is Am I correct?
There's that issue. I don't see why they're so preoccupied with
Netflix. It's not as though they can't do this. Now, of course,
this opens the door for every stupid thing coming down the
pipe, which includes a T mobile's merging with Sprint,
which is going to happen. Yep. And there was another couple of
these things floating around. They're all going to happen
because of this. This was a monster that should have been
stopped. I don't what is wrong with these judges in antitrust?
What they mean there's got to be something else going on. There's
no reason you would allow this. Comcast you know, which already
owns a universal now they own another studio. And they own the
cable networks. And they own NBC. I mean, it's like this.
It's ridiculous.
I have a different hunch about all this. And I think that this
is going to be the death of a TNT. What is the company? What
what is the company going to be called after the merger?
Warner 18 Oh, it's going to be called 18. Okay, I know where
you're going with this. Now eight now. I want to mention by
the way, the Comcast Fox merger only came about because of the
AT and T Time Warner merger, right, which is what the White
House bitched about. Yeah, but now all these mergers are going
to happen because this guy gave them the Go ahead. Yep. I think
it's going to be called AT and T Okay.
And you know where I'm going with this.
You will you're going to they're going to change the name and
they're going to the ATM T is a It's not even this at&t we're
dealing with is really I believe Southwestern Bell. Yes
originally Yeah.
The original 18 T is defunct. Yeah. And these guys kind of
bought this this is good aggressive phone local regional
phone co got it. We're buying up everybody they bought Pacific
Bell they bought it all up yep. They bought it all about the
whole country they bought the remnants of AT and T and then
they said hey we're AT and T and they call themself at&t which I
find to be creepy it's almost like Frankenstein's monster.
Now how much of a content is in this deal?
AT and T is buying
Time Warner right so what what are we talking what kind of con
well
we I think Time Warner just take a look on the wiki pages he
would at Time Warner owns they own lots of content okay? See if
they own the cable and they own this cable at your I believe the
way the world is going and I am from the future hashtag I think
the bet on content and pipe is that is exactly the wrong thing
to do. I think this is going to bankrupt this company. I was
told I would put all my money and AT and T and sprint they're
going these Verizon at and I'm sorry sprint and T Mobile, T
Mobile and sprint Verizon has also now they're they're
chopping all kinds of content deals they had that they
purchased all that stupid shit with the Huffington Post and you
know the Gawker whatever the hell they bought, where they buy
dum, dum, they bought they regret it. And they're moving
away from it. These guys locker got bought by Ziff, these guys
all understand that if they really whoever focuses on the
pipe, and I think there'll be new wireless is a different
issue. But whoever focuses on the pipe and not and can achieve
just net neutrality because their job is to deliver to
deliver to you what you want. They're going to win in this the
content. Forget about it. All these and this is decades of
content investment. And I blame Terry Semel, you know, goes in
maybe even Ted leonsis, to a degree and thinking that you
know, the idea we put the content together with the pipe
now, it's a failure. It's a big failure. And yes, I hope so. So
I'm very happy with this merger, these guys will fail. Now, we
have issues with number of ISPs that are available in the United
States, certainly, but I think it's pretty much everywhere.
You've got issues.
All right, Time Warner, I'm gonna go over some of the things
so we know what we're talking about. Time Warner owns and now
AT and T. And I am not going to argue necessarily your basic
point. Because I think you can add, I mean, let's say just want
to Time Warner Cable, and you're going to spin the rest of it
off.
Yeah, but spin it off. Listen, spin it off into what I'm
looking at Netflix. I'm just Netflix, just take Netflix.
Fantastic. They're great. They're losing billions of
dollars. It's just like Uber and Airbnb, all these conveniences
as a reason why we didn't have them before. It's because we
didn't have morons to invest in this shitty stuff. It's dumb.
They're not they're not breaching the economies of scale
that was promised it's not getting there. And the Netflix
gravy train will end eventually, unless they can figure it out.
And I don't think they can do that. It's very expensive to
create good video content. It's expensive and there's unions and
there's guilds and his payments and royalties. It's a very well
oiled machine. And now with
nightmares what you're saying Correct. Okay, so a Time Warner
owns Home Box Office with one to about 25 channels, including
Cinemax and Cinemax.
HBO is the most profitable one of the Munch but they've been
doing it for 50 years or 40 years.
VO is huge and they got them all over the world they own Turner
Broadcasting System. TBS TNT when you watch a true TV, TCM
Turner Sports the basketball games the doing good money on
that. A whole bunch of television stations everywhere
CNN CTVs they own Warner Brothers Entertainment, DC DC
stuff, which is I guess now we have own no they still own DC.
So they own a movie franchises for DC lousy comic book movies,
Warner Brothers Studios in Livingston, England and in tour
alright, we get it. Well,
Warner Brothers TV group, which is a tonnage of stuff, Warner
Brothers Home Entertainment Group. And then they have an
investments in a million other things. But anyway, Okay,
I'll stop this is very expensive operations very, very expensive
and they have a high margin of error. stuff just doesn't work
and no longer
a low margin low margin of error.
No, they have a high margin of error.
No high margin of error means they can screw up royally. Okay,
you're right. Yes. I'm sorry, a low margin of error. But I what
I'm saying is, they make a lot of duds. A lot of them, you
don't know about him, you don't hear about him, they go away.
There's tons of duds. And you know, you gotta you gotta have
one or two big hits. But the cost to do this is so
disproportionate. And you know, anyone who's smart looks at
Netflix and says, Well, great. We'll have it all. And how's
that gonna work? He got it. They don't have control over the 24
hour cycle. That's how you could do it. Look, we're putting this
on, we'll get some ads. This is ads on enough. That's a failure.
You know, rarely do you have such a flop that no one watches
it. Okay, we'll make good on those ads, we bring in the
midseason replacement, boom, can you had no choice, you're
watching this. Now we have choice. We have choice of
everything, including dumb stuff on YouTube, but also
professionally produced independent content. And you can
watch it whenever you want, their model is broken. But the
investment started back when was still gravy train days. So this
comes into net neutrality, because this is exactly what
it's about. The argument is, and the argument is mainly from
Facebook, and Google and Twitter. And it used to be from
Netflix, but they're smart. They cut their deals with all the
agencies directly, YouTube, AOL, Google, the argument is ISPs
with all this groovy content, and all the stuff they own,
which by the way, runs on their own network has nothing to do
with bits coming from the outside, but okay. They're going
to slow down to grade your experience, so that you will be
forced into choosing their stuff. That is the that's the
basic premise is they'll have it all have a lock on it, and then
you as poor little independent guy, you won't be able to go and
get your stuff in. So that's kind of the the issue that is
that is coming up. But this is driven by Google, and Facebook
and Twitter and all these guys because they want government
regulations. And that is what net neutrality is about. And in
the government regulations, we've seen every version of it,
it clearly states ISPs will have the legal right to block
unlawful content. And and that's a specific word unlawful
content, and unlawful network traffic. And of course, they
would love to have that they would love to have because they
can comply with regulations like you and I can't, the show would
never comply with unlawful content. Somewhere down the
line, we're doing something unlawful and your ISP, that's
real breakage, they will be able to turn us off. Because we have
unlawful content. That's why you do not want the government
regulating that important piece of the connection. The
technological piece presents a different problem. Where the
internet was built on the concept of peerage, it's not one
bit well, it's more one big network than it used to be. But
in the beginning, when it was being built, it was all these
little networks and they would interconnect at with a with a
big router. Basically,
that's what internet done. And that's yes, the
internet the interconnection of networks. And they connected
peering points and peering the word already says it, you're
each other's peer. And the concept is, well, you have so
much people that need to access my network to get to another
piece of the network. And I send off an almost an equal amount of
traffic to you. We're calling it a wash. No one owes anybody any
money, because it's not free. If you have tons of people sucking
down gigs of video, you need bigger routers, bigger boxes,
bigger pipes, it's not like, you know, it's not an infinite
supply that just to Lulu just kind of flows everywhere.
There's a real cost to it. I know I built a datacenter and
went bankrupt. I know exactly what the cost is of Cisco
machinery typically, to get this done. So these arguments are
playing on people's emotions that your Netflix is going to
buffer or your YouTube or your favorite tech video or whatever
it is, and you're going to be all new.
And the worst offender of this is the timecode down there
is the chairwoman sorry chair person of the Mozilla
Foundation. And I had not I was not familiar with this with this
person. I will tell you just looking at her I already didn't
like her abs one of those complicated haircuts like where
does it start? What is it and it's shaved here and whenever
and she was on the what does that the It's On newsy? It's the
intellectual debates or something. I forget what it's
called There was a server, there's some good good people on
it. And she was on representing, please, we need we need net
neutrality. I'm going to play a one little one little bit here.
This is where she explained she explains the networking side
what I just
said a woman named Michel. Yes. That's John Baker,
did you see your hair?
She looks very hockey.
Whatever that means. The hairdo is complicated.
Page au gh t, why not hot? The I know.
So what I just explained about the networking side is the
truth. That is why Netflix had a problem with the ISPs because
they, they were shoving gigabytes of content into the
ISPs. And with no reciprocation and like hold on a second, you
just clogging up our routers here, we need to do something
about that. Which by the way, is called transit, we have a word
for it. If you did, if you couldn't peer with someone, you
could buy transit from them. This is these are well
established principles. But this is not what it's about. Again,
this is about the big Silicon Valley companies wanting the
government to control you out of their way. And I'll and the
kicker, of course, comes the second part of this woman's
explanation, but here's her her technical explanation of why net
neutrality is necessary. Just lay it out.
Sure. So when we talk about net neutrality, we're actually
talking about the network itself, like the you might the
physical part of how data moves, or maybe the airwaves, you know,
for part of it, but it's the physical network. Technically,
the internet sits on top of that, right? Because the
internet and the way we access data, it has to travel, like the
bits, the electrons have to move. And so it's that bit of
transport of the last bit of transport that goes to you, the
consumer that we're actually talking about the internet sits
on top of that, and then what we call the platform's get
Facebook, Google, they all sit on top of that on higher layers
up all the internet, you know, exists in layers. And so net
neutrality is the argument that that fundamental layer, the most
physical layer, the way the bits actually move should be neutral.
And that if it's not neutral, anytime we try to address the
layers above it, we're dealing with a crooked Foundation, and
it can change at any point. That's
not the point I was just making. I agree with what you said. But
my point is, look at Google, Facebook, and Amazon, just as
self interest companies forget this thing about platforms. They
are saying they're big fans of net neutrality, and I'm saying
we need to ask ourselves why. So the way she just explained
what's really going on, what a bunch of bullcrap that was.
Yeah,
it was just gobbledygook
in what she fails to disclose. Well, actually, I want to say it
at the end here. So now she's going to talk about our history,
the history of Mozilla and the freedom fighters, and I'm gonna
say it up front. She's full of crap. How did Firefox the
Mozilla Foundation make its money? We all know
the NSA made most of their money by putting a little search box
in there and charging Google
$275 million. Yeah, it's passed through. Yeah. That's how they
made their money from day one. They were in bed with Google.
And now this woman is out there shilling for Google. But she's
not going to disclose it. Oh, no, she's a freedom fighter.
No Mozilla. And our work in Firefox would not be here.
Without net neutrality. We first built Firefox in 2004 as a
nonprofit, by definition, our goal is not maximizing revenue,
not for ourselves. 275 million, not for the ISPs, not for anyone
else. We were building a product everyone knew was irrelevant.
And we were challenging the tech giant of its time, Microsoft,
which was essentially Google Apple, Amazon all rolled into
one. Right? We were open source, which was very freaky. At its
time. We had no money for marketing, money for
distributions. When we were building the internet as a
public asset. They were building the internet. And that was crazy
for its time. We were not anyone's model of an attractive
business partner.
Wow. Hello. We have one thing she is so I'd like you know what
I like about her. She's, she's a giving person. She's really part
of the community. She wants to do. Good work. Oh, by the way,
in 2018, she made $1.1 million in compensation for Mozilla,
because they're so poor. They got no money to debt freedom
fighters.
We were not anyone's model of an attractive business
partner. They are the Gulag of Silicon Valley.
But we had one thing going for us along with our product by
Internet. We were able to offer our product and we were able to
make it fast. We were able to make Make our download fast,
which is more important than you would ever think and trying to
get a product adopted. And we were able to make our download
fast without worrying about what ISPs around the world would
decide, and whether their delivery practices would ruin
our product. Without the open Internet, we wouldn't have had a
chance. And the opportunity of the open internet should be for
all of us. innovative business practices, innovated solutions
should be distributed. And each of us should have the
opportunity without going through the gatekeeper of our
ISP. And so we urge you support the motion preserve net
neutrality.
Wow. brazen, just brazen. Who needs a lobbying firm when you
got that? Yeah, she's good. Yeah. Zell
grad over here. In the bowl Hall, she got a she's a lawyer.
Mm hmm.
Well, she doesn't know jack about the internet. Which is the
need to the photons flying around. What was she talking?
What kind of jab? Was she talking? It's crazy.
Actually, Time magazine made her one of the most important or the
most influential people in the world. Well, no wonder she got
the hair heard of her before he before he present, but okay.
So I got some follow up on the PBIS.
The A lot of people liked that little presentation.
Yeah. Well, the responses. There's some money,
by the way, but she was also the lawyer for Sun Microsystems
associate lawyer
associate was this. She started at Sun Microsystems and
microsystems. Yeah, so I got a number of interesting emails.
The this was about the behavioral. What was it? What
did the PBIS stand for, again? Well, it's the the I know,
right? It's the bottom line is PBIS is a program that punishes
or does not punish children based upon their political
identifiers, such as poor or blase ative
behavioral intervention and support.
Thank you. And we also tied into that how Google is just flushed
has flushed themselves into schools. And I got a note from
one of our one of our people who would know on the last episode,
are you talking about Chromebooks in education? I
completely agree these Chromebooks are being used to
take over the school system and get more students into the
Google world. But it goes a step farther. Many school systems,
including universities are switching from hosting their own
servers or Microsoft servers from mail calendar, etc. to
Google's G Suite. Sure, it's great for it since everything is
Google managed, but like you said, make Google slaves from a
very young age. This is troublesome. I know, I know,
many nonprofits who use the G Suite. I think that's Wow, what
a single point of failure you're in and the you know, the cloud
and all this stuff. If if Google just decides that you're on the
Southern Poverty Law Center's list or something, and then
we're not going to serve you boom, done. Everything's gone.
Your company has gone overnight. In a sec. Yeah,
it would be gone overnight. My bad idea?
Yeah. I think that's quite frightening that people are all
in on Google like that and and who's to say they're not looking
at you know, that could be all kinds of stuff going on. Our
producer says Apple does not have magic educational products.
Our new sixth Gen iPad with pencil support is very cheap and
targeted right at the education market. We have some apps like
classroom which make it very easy to manage students iPads
while in the classroom and even has a signing mode on the iPads
if the school doesn't want it. To do a one to one program.
Although Google makes it very hard. When they just throw free
stuff at schools with the intent to harvest all the data they can
from students because of Apple stance on privacy, it makes it
more difficult to give away free stuff to schools. Like I said,
we're marketing our sixth Gen iPad towards K 12. Our keynote
for it was even at a school in Chicago and we worked with
Logitech to make to make a cheaper and more durable stylus
called the crayon. They use the same technology as the pencil.
So Apple is definitely in education. They're trying but
then I guess it's tough for them and I can see why
they dropped the ball
the young Google has the right idea they got a cheap cheap
products you know Apple always wanted to sell I don't think
they were giving away there was wanting to sell from Sir Ryan
checking in from Colorado. Not only am I a middle school
teacher, thank you for your courage. But I also have a
master's degree in curriculum development and a master's in
Educational Leadership. Wow, man, you should do a podcast.
Through my work I have led SC Rule wide and district wide PBIS
teams for several years now. Hey, John, this is straight from
the horse's mouth. This is good news. Are you still there? Yeah,
all right, I can tell you that all schools must hold something
called a manifesting meeting, which considers if a student's
misbehavior is caused by a student's disability, which all
students basically have, he says, If it is found that the
behavior does does come from a disability, which it always is,
he says, that student is not legally allowed to be punished
for their behavior. I can tell you that teachers are going out
of their minds trying to manage a classroom full of kids that
feel empowered because they know their teacher can't legally
punish them. Worse is the implementation of restorative
justice in schools. This is a legal philosophy in juvenile
criminal justice that is being bastardized by school
administrators to keep problem kids in the classroom and lower
their referral number and suspension rate for students.
Just want you to know that many of us teachers are aware of the
madness and doing all we can to combat it for our own
classrooms. Feel free to share. If you'd like to reach out or if
you have any education questions,
why don't you can you I do have one for him. But I want you to
make sure to forward I don't know if I have that note, was it
for us and they get a copy? Probably not. Well send it to
me. I'm going to put it on. I'm putting a website up of the
notes like that is just a feedback from our listeners.
Here's one from lOn. Oh, wait,
I just have a question for
the OIC. I didn't know you're gonna do it publicly. Okay,
good. Go.
I want him to look@learn.kqed.org and tell me
what he thinks as a thing they've created. In fact, they
have a clip if you want, I don't want to interrupt. Let's do a
clip. That's a nice little big learn KQED clip about what this
is all about.
The subject area, any subject area, any teacher could have
students use the site, they're practicing digital citizenship,
we're reinforcing the academic skills,
but it asks students to investigate. beyond the basics,
the engagement piece was definitely the above the noise
videos will cut through the hype and
take you above the noise.
Students absolutely loved the above the noise videos,
it's a great way to introduce them to a topic and get them
talking about it.
It provides them with an opportunity to pose their own
question to research
per capita energy related carbon dioxide emissions and get them
creating their own investigations. Why are we so
attached to social media?
What is the real definition of feminism? What happens when only
one side of the story is told? How can I find a college being
able to analyze information in their own voice is something
that they need to do more and more you can look at finding
projects. Yeah, the Macon
share on KQED learn has been incredible.
They were creating infographics, videos, images with voiceovers
podcasts, I told the students my heart was full, I got the most
in depth presentations I've gotten in five years
who inspired me to choose this topic is the students get
excited when they started receiving responses from other
people. But
also someone commented on our source.
what excited me the most about it was the collaboration and the
fact that it is free and that their goal is to keep it that
way if the
fact that it's KQED was really comforting to me. I knew it was
reliable, unbiased, credible, and I knew that it was going to
be safe for my students. That's a no brainer. It's KQED.
Unbiased my ass.
Yeah, this is what happens when you remove teachers from the
equation.
Then you get this.
And I have a I think I have a decent analogy from Johnny B.
Now, the analogy here is basically turning over education
to whoever makes the learning materials that the kids are
doing on their iPads and the computers and like sound like
they were doing YouTube videos on a social net. I don't know
what the hell that was about. And you made a pretty good
argument on the on the previous episode that nothing goes above
a human being trying to teach you something. Nothing, nothing.
And here's the analogy. Johnny B says I worked for RadioShack for
a decade a decade. Between 99 and oh nine when I first started
working there you had a stack of books on various subjects all
related to the stock in the store. And your first 90 days
you will require to read the books and take a scan Tron read
multiple choice test. You would send the test sheet to Fort
Worth where it would get get run through a machine and then get
your results mailed back to the store. The hardest of these
tests was 120 25 or so questions and was the parts training. Now
these tests were open book but you had to look up the answers
the old fashioned way now actually read the material.
Sometime around 203 2003 2004. They scrapped testing this way
and went with a super dumbed down computer based training. So
dumbed down, that when you got to the q&a part, they would give
you the right answer, you could immediately retake the test and
pass. They scrapped the parts test, the computer knowledge
test and the AV test. Prior to computer training, the people
who wanted to sell everything, they could have the tools to
make them and RadioShack successful. This is one of the
many mistakes that made RadioShack go under some asshole
managers, which was a lot of them complained about having to
fire people who didn't complete the required training because it
was too hard. And instead of having knowledgeable
salespeople, they had clerks that couldn't help out the
customer who needed problem solve. And it's around the same
time they scrapped. You've got questions, we've got answers.
And I remember that, because we pitch RadioShack with my my
first company. And then we had a whole pitch based on we've got
answers. We had answers.com I think we had all that the whole
pitch and they went yeah, we're dropping that was not a great
pitch. If they if they're going to do this shit to my kids in
school, my son starts kindergarten, kindergarten next
year, I might go the way of divorce back and home school.
Just thought you might want an example of shit computer
training that played out to the detriment of a retail retail
chain that was 100 years old when it fell. And I think that's
a great analogy.
Fantastic, I want that letter to send it to me. Oh, man. It's so
low. So much work
is really not. And then just one more, one more on PBIS. Yeah, as
long
as it's like a new theme. This is our this is our second half
of 2018 theme I'm sensing. All right,
it could be feeling good. This is long give me a little
background info PBIS that I think he's more in favor of it
than some others. PBIS is a set of tools for tools for schools
and teachers to provide behavioral support to kids based
on their needs. It partly came into being because of federal
and state laws require every kid to receive an equal education.
And every is capitalized. So I guess every kid even the ones
that have behavioral issues. So schools are including kids at
all stages of development from typical to those with severe
behavioral issues in the same environment. This causes schools
to hire psychologists, behavioral staff, and PBIS grew
out of the need to have some structure for these for the new
these new aspects of the educational system. In the past,
most of the challenging kids were relegated to state
institutions, special schools or worse, we are seeing parents,
teachers and professionals clash over how all kids are educated,
interacting and resources of school are spent. It is very
ugly on the front lines with kids caught in the middle of the
adults signalling superior parenting privilege. I see this
side of the argument too. But it sounds to me like teachers and
educate educators in general have in the whole system that
getting a real raw deal out of whatever this privileged PC
society is delivering to us.
Oh, it's true. It's terrible. But as part of the bigger
debate, it's the again the Conservatives versus the
liberals. And it's which and we've talked about this before,
there's the two words that define each side the
Conservatives are for liberty, and freedom. And the Liberals
are for justice and equality. And this stems from the equality
part of the liberal side of the arguments. And because that's
when it's just permeating society as a huge plague. This
is one of the reasons Trump got in because people sense there's
something wrong with this sort of
thing even though I think you just put your fingers on it. You
really that was good. You really explained it in one paragraph.
Yes, I did think so. I have it since you're on the you're done
with that. One. One
more note does a quickie from Ryan. And it's more of the same
kind of button didn't set a different way Adam and John in
my high school teacher to PBIS school. Bless you guys bless all
of you for being that just from the get go bless you. From my
experience programs such as this are only minimally implemented
because of the system's mostly the teachers resistance to
change. The teachers in public education work very
independently from each other and oversight from
administration and tend to continue teaching according to
their own style. I believe that Marjory Stoneman Douglas likely
pursued PBIS because of the grant funding available to the
school, which is in the 10s of 1000s. Similarly to their
pursuit of grants related to lowering student crime, and I'm
sure many others again, I believe that it's unlikely that
the PBIS program made any impact on the school other than
monetarily. As for teaching students how to be behave. This
is a major problem. All caps. Teachers like to do that. With
many parents completely apps with many parents completely
dropping the ball. It is hard enough teaching them almost
anything when there is no pressure from the kids from on
the kids from home, let alone how to behave at school. Love
the show, Ryan. Yeah. And that that's really what it comes down
to is parents, you know, like, Hey, you can't talk to my kid
that way. Whatever. bullcrap. And the teachers have no power.
They're
powerless.
That's been good. That's been getting worse. They probably
not. Yeah, no. Well, I have no idea how this is gonna resolve
itself. homeschooling? Well, the day resisting that. I mean,
they're trying to make the most states they make it illegal.
Isn't that great? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know why.
But you're right. And you said this is the reason for Trump. So
yep. People know something's up.
Yeah, and they want somebody to stop it. And these seem to be a
guy who at least talk to the good game. He's
talking to game for sure.
All right, you got one more thing to get us out of here
because we're running late. Oh, you know what? I almost forgot.
Where is it? Yeah, I'm not doing it right. This is what I should
do. Excuse me, Adam, but you've got a plane to catch. I finally
got my guy. Actually, I got two guys.
I'm sorry. You've got a plane to catch Mr. Curry. Now.
I gotta say even though I like Chris Wilson's voice, and it's
got but the second guy seems more real.
That's sorry that Secret Agent Paul. Yeah, but But uh, Sir
Chris gave me a whole stack so excuse me Adam. Your service go
Trevor is getting a little impatient. So that means I gotta
go
let's just pull this play out. This has to be my last one then
I got these other ones are good for carryovers okay, but I
thought it was funny. They are now do we're starting to see
this meme is starting to creep in. I don't know how far it's
gonna go how far it's gonna get. But this is a hacking a 757 Oh,
yes.
It is not a question of if but when hackers will take over a
commercial jetliner. That is the warning from cybersecurity
experts. Here's Chris Van Cleef, a stark declaration in documents
obtained by CBS News today from the Department of Homeland
Security. In this presentation from earlier this year,
researchers warned it's a matter of time before a cybersecurity
breach on an airline occurs. That assessment came after a DHS
decision to launch a nose to tail series of tests on this
Boeing 757 for hacking weakspots. Those tests came
after a DHS team led by Dr. Robert Hickey took just two days
to hack remotely into the plane while it was parked at an FAA
facility at the Atlantic City Airport in September of 2016.
The DHS team got in through the planes radiofrequency
communications using typical stuff that can be brought
through airport security. In response, DHS scheduled those
further hacking attempts on the plane, including efforts to
access flight management, life support, autopilot, the planes,
electrical and fuel systems, as well as its engines. Now I think
we've come to realize that cyber threat is everywhere. Ron Hosko
is the former Assistant Director of the FBI.
My fear is that our nation acts most directly when they're on
the backside of a crisis. The crisis has occurred. We lose a
lot of lives. And now we're prepared to put money into
infrastructure,
while the 757 hasn't been built since 2004. It is an aging
workhorse for American delta and united. President Trump's
personal plane is a 757. So is the aircraft often used by Vice
President Mike Pence. Experts wanted to know if hackers could
use the in flight Wi Fi the infotainment system or even a
USB charging court to get into a plane system. Now Boeing says
its aircraft are safe that it is competent in its cybersecurity
measures and does not believe the testing has revealed a cyber
vulnerability in the 757. Jeff,
kind of sad that you brought this up at the end of this
program because I have been doing a lot of research for the
past three weeks on this report. This is an old this is aviation
type
TV movie for TV movie Well,
here's the here's the here's the homework and everyone go look at
it. You want to look up bu a P Boeing uninterruptable
autopilot. And what this does what it's been implemented in,
which indeed is in 757 740, sevens even in Airbus. I believe
that there's a possibility that some of these missing aircraft
have been hijacked through the BU AP system. It's real. You can
remote control the aircraft from the ground. There's a site. A
fun little side note to this. The patent for this was
originally it was a lot of noise about it. It was originally sold
through the law firm of was it shuck and jive them and Rose,
the one that Hillary Clinton belong to? Back in the day? It's
called the courts patent. Do you want to look it up? So on the
next show,
I think I should expand a little bit on that.
Roll it out.
I wasn't quite prepared today. But this is one of the best
teases we've ever had. So I'm happy for that. I agree. And
we'll also be deconstructing the OIG report. Oh, IG om GMC OIG.
That's due today. I guess it's already come out. So we'll have
to sift through that. And we'll deconstruct anything else.
There's tons of stuff going on in the United States of Europe
as well that I want to get to. And as always coming to you from
downtown Austin, Texas capital of the drone Star state here and
FEMA Region number six on the governmental maps in the common
law, Claudio, the common law condo in the clue dealership. In
the morning, everybody, I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where the sun's
commodity is bright. Wow. I'm John C. DeBoer.
Remember us for Sunday show at the vortech.org/and A Happy
Father's Day in advance. And until next time, adios mofos I
need a cab.
Bell you're not getting one.
