Public Radio is ready for capitalism.
Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday May 14 2015. time once again for
your gizmo nation media assassination episode seven to
one. This is no agenda,
propagating the FH ITP meme and broadcasting live from the crock
pot Kando condo and FEMA Region six in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry
and foraging in the forest of the Pacific Northwest. I'm John
C. Dvorak. Greg bobbin, Buzzkill.
You're no longer in the in the Tower of Terror. No,
I'm in the foraging forest and foraging for support. Angeles,
Washington. Yes. Nice.
So it's a six week up. There.
It is. Rain week.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I misunderstood what that was all
about. Okay. It
has a lot of I know it doesn't rain in California. So it
actually took me a while to what's this? What is somebody
spitting? What's going on?
Oh, oh, the rain. Okay. We've had nonstop rains. Now in our
second well, not entirely nonstop. But our second week of
rain. They expect it to go on for another week here. It's just
rain. We have
Texas is always in a perpetual state of
drought. No, no, it's been. So this is the end of our second
week. We're going into a third week.
They're always complaining in Texas when it rains. Why don't
they set up cisterns?
I don't think anyone's really complaining. Not Not really.
We're just you know, we're a little tired of the wetness, but
it's not. No, we're happy. Lake Travis was up a foot
which is a pretty big deal for us.
So yeah, what do you what are you doing? I'm just hanging out.
What's the deal? Is it someone's birthday?
Actually, Eric's birthday is coming up. I don't know if he'll
be here for that for
Sunday or
no I went up to we went up because the because puddles
piddle pity party. Mimi
puddles pity party. Yeah. Who was puddles? Puddles? Dog?
This this thing? Ah, ah. Puddles is the singing clown. Okay,
what's on a very unique landscape? I would call maybe a
lounge Jack. I'm not sure. Anyway,
he must be really good if you went up there just for him.
Well, that was told he was really good. Oh, yeah. Have you
seen ASO need to come up here and get the printer working?
That's another issue.
You're actually just this is marriage. Tech support. That's
That's what husbands do. We're tech support. I'm sure there's
some
puddles to character. This guy is extremely popular sells out
in two hours wherever he goes. It's like, you know, pretty big
venues. Interesting. And yeah, if he goes to Texas, I would
recommend going to see him. The guy can he's got a tremendous
voice. Kind of a Tom Jones. Well, if
you went up there under the ruse of tech support to go see him
that it must be good. That's that's an endorsement right
there.
So, so I want to get this one thing out of the way. Okay. Yes.
Okay, there's a girl who can touch her eyeball with.
Really? And you're dating her or what is the deal?
Oh, I did. She cheats. I just watched it. I haven't seen it
before. She's got a long tongue.
This is this is what obsesses you.
I mean, I've all told me she saw
Facebook Facebook. Yeah, that's where she saw it of course.
And she says you got to see this and I said I'm too busy. I was
working on the show. Right and then I said well maybe we'll do
it on the show and when she
said you got to see this Does she really think that was going
to bring value to your life?
Well you know the way face Facebook people are serious I
didn't see something you're asking me that question.
I did see something on Facebook yesterday which I'll bring up
now. When people say all right that's it I'm leaving Facebook
I'm closing my account it is the it is the adult equivalent of
I'm running away from home we all know you'll be back we all
know you're just doing it for attention and for people to feel
bad for Oh no. Come back please don't leave our little club
Well, yeah, I'm not in that club. No, I
know I I salute you for that I stay in I will say I find more
increasingly I find more articles that are views for the
show. Of course this is what Facebook has been planning for a
while where I guess the New York Times is now all in with
Facebook's towards the end of the times do they have any idea
that this is dumb that this is the they don't control their own
distribution now?
I don't know what they're thinking. I think they can
probably always, you know take their their marbles and go home
as what they assume I'm guessing I don't know.
Anyway, I'm driving I'm very happy we had a big news event
which gives me or gives us the opportunity to play a jingle on
the bar trains good
planes ban
CNN has not stopped they have not stopped with this. Yeah,
that would be right it's it's unconscionable but I figured out
why didn't take long to see what what all the the agendas were
now whether this is
I have a different one. For the for the
train. Yeah, train crash. I
want to hear yours first. But I mindset mine's a little
different. And it's just a coincidence that I even stumbled
on it. Okay. So other things going on besides?
Well, I look, I'm an aviation guy. I'm not a train guy. So
don't don't necessarily
saying once on wheels.
It's not the same thing. They're in direct competition. I did
catch a little bit of Well, the same messaging from the three
big networks CBS, NBC, ABC. Because the timing of this, the
timing of this event, however coincidental the incidence, I
think Mac was immediately turned into
this, some of them tracks equipment has been charitably
described as antique. But despite that, a House panel
today cut an tracks budget. Even more
than 250 million people who ride these rails each year pass
through tunnels and over bridges that are more than 100 years
old, and look at Amtrak estimates that maintaining and
upgrading the northeast corridor
would cause to its ages by the way, age just on bridges point
$6
billion per year, but Congress provided just 1.4 billion this
year for all of Amtrak's operations from coast to coast.
Next year, funding will drop by nearly 20% Despite an attempt by
House Democrats today to boost it.
Now. That was CBS. Here's NBC. In the meantime, there is a
political element to all this hours after the tragedy here in
Philadelphia, the fight over funding for Amtrak, flared up
the shock
and tragedy of what happened in Philadelphia made a long
standing battle over Amtrak funding more raw and emotional.
Democrats wanted to see a big increase in funding and in fact,
they look at the accident and say it's an example of the need
to improve our infrastructure. Republicans who always argue
that Amtrak needs to turn a profit and not rely so much on
taxpayers would not budge. And finally,
ABC just
hours after the derailment a political headline in Washington
tonight, a battle over funding for Amtrak House Republicans
voting to cut Amtrak's budget by $251 million. Citing spending
limits, asking to see the crash report before they reconsider
my analysis. Republicans kill people. And Joe Biden has
finally has a platform to run his potential campaign on
because he's from Pennsylvania and he's Mr. Amtrak that's all I
could come up with.
That's the logic of the whole thing. I mean, but I think
that's a bolt been reverse engineer they had this disaster
they can't seem to determine Well, let's play I think we have
a democracy now clip of this. Well, we don't you can just say
we don't
I don't mind that the Amtrak wreck clip.
Yeah, I am dead right play that at least
six people have been killed and dozens wounded after an Amtrak
train bound for New York City derailed just outside of
Philadelphia. Eight people remain in critical condition and
not everyone on board has been accounted for. The train had
departed from Washington DC carrying more than 240 people.
Six cars overturned with sections of the train so mangled
people had to be rescued with the aid of hydraulic tools.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter called it quote an
absolute disastrous mess, saying I've never seen anything like
this in my life. The cause remains unknown. Okay, urinal so
I
got to the cause remains unknown. And then I started
thinking about what possibly is going on. Is this possible? Is
this possibly a protest of some sort? It kind of in the same
vein as the bombing in Oklahoma years ago because of the Waco
situation that took place where they they attacked Waco, and
just by coincidence, nobody's put made this connection before
but but this is the 30 year anniversary of the Philadelphia
bombing of move and we can play the move and silly clip move
okay.
Today marks the 30th anniversary of a massive police operation in
Philadelphia that culminated in the helicopter bombing of the
headquarters of a radical group known as move the fire from the
attack incinerated six adults and five children and destroyed
65 homes. Despite two grand jury investigations and commissioned
finding the top officials were grossly negligent. No one from
city government was criminally charged. Here is how the bombing
was initially reported in Philadelphia.
I know nothing about this, John. I mean, maybe not old enough. I
just don't know. No,
you know nothing about it because at the time they it was
been it was suppressed ever since. But this was they
actually bombed with a bomb with two bombs actually with turns
out as his neighborhood and then the police department and the
fire department let 65 homes burn to the ground before they
did anything. Wow. Let me continue
on WC au radio.
I've just been advised that we have no videotape of the episode
that apparently ended we think ended the move situation
tonight. the dropping of an incendiary device and let's take
a careful look at this 5:27pm waiting.
This was dropped from an airplane.
Yes, we bombed, which is yes, it was a helicopter. But it was a
bomb. That was quite a bit.
So it was this army. It was an FBI. It
was a bomb was from the FBI. They believe and it was but it
was the local police who commandeer the state police
chopper
and then that kind of bomb that they throw out.
See for
excellent state police helicopter drops out there as
the explosion. As you can see a very dramatic explosion that
occurs 30 seconds and really rips into the move compound
there you see the bunker, which soon will go up in flames. And
that was the explosion close up. If there's anybody there,
standing there, it's obvious they couldn't survive that
explosion.
That was on the CRU TV actually, we saw some video there. A move
was a Philadelphia based radical movement dedicated to black
liberation and back to nature lifestyle. It was founded by
John Africa and all his members took on the surname Africa in
2010. Ramona Africa, the sole adult survivor of the attack,
told Democracy Now what happened that the bomb was dropped on her
house
in terms of the bombing. After being attacked the way we were
first with for Dell you chose us by the fire department, and then
tons of tear gas and then being shot at the police at MIT to
shooting over 10,000 rounds that set us in 90 minutes. There was
a lot you know it was quiet for a little bit and then without
any warning at all. To members of the Philadelphia Police
Department's bomb squad got in a Pennsylvania State Police
helicopter and flew over our home and dropped a satchel
containing C for a powerful military explosive bet no
municipal police department as they had to get it from the
federal government from the FBI bomb them
bomb them and bomb them again
excellent
I had no idea about this episode.
Yeah and this is the anniversary or was about the time of the was
in a defect
is related to the train is Yeah,
I do. Okay. I don't have any proof of that. I just think the
coincidence you know there's a little too much of one ah hmm.
And that you know, this this was a mess of a train wreck. I mean
this. This normally they always have immediate explanation is
derail for no reason.
I think they're trying I think they're trying to find the media
certainly trying to wait to connect it to ISIS. They just
don't have a although there were I had this funny. I had one
article. Yes. This here's your coincidence. This article is
from I believe, May 8, so it's a couple of days ago. ABC News FBI
warns of train derailment threat on May 8 devices that could be
used by terrorists to derail trains are being stolen from
rail facilities around the country. The FBI warned nine Why
are their devices to derail trains being stored in the first
place by the railroad companies? Nine as like a bogus story right
off the bat go on.
Yeah, well, it says And again, this is before this happened.
Yeah, well, nine derailleurs a piece of railroad equipment used
to derail train cars for safety purposes and rail yards have
been stolen recently.
Ah, so
and how does it derailleur work? Is that does it
no it probably goes over the tracks as you train goes up and
flips probably got one on both sides of the track and one flips
at least one side more than the other. I have no idea or just
moves it off the track. I have no idea. We should look it up.
Well that's what I found to be a girl they
could have been a you know some of these radicals could have
Somebody sold a derailleurs. That would be the story. I've
been waiting for that story to get close to the actual
derailment, though. That's what's bothersome. So it's as
though the FBI stole things and they're gonna they're behind it.
Yeah. Just the question, of course, is why and somehow you
can relate this to the move bombing?
No, I just think the move move bombing was a coincidence in
China. And so far as timing, this is the only thing that that
is coincident with their derailment at both happening in
Philadelphia. I mean, what if it was, you know, someplace else, I
think differently, but it was in the same area. And it would, and
it's not unusual for people to seek revenge. If somebody's kid
was killed, or there's a lot of they always
want to find you always want to know who was on the vessel.
That's the other thing that we don't have that information.
Yeah, there was one VP of some bank but it's kind of hard
to target anybody to train most people get injured. Yeah. Yeah.
Unless, you know, unless they derail the train, there's an
assassin onboard shoots the guy but the infusion
but but with with this with the Republicans, you know, signing
this, cutting Amtrak's funding that was extremely Cohen
coincidental that there was actually a funny clip from
what's the TIM RUSSERT kid kid's name? Luke, Luke Russert. And he
was on. I think this was CNN. And, of course, we all know we
have to hate the Republicans. But he takes it one step
further. But
I'll point out one example that I find shocking. You're
originally from Washington, DC. Alex, Metro Metro is a service
that a lot of Republican staffers here on Capitol Hill
desperately use to get in and out of the Capitol House
Republicans want to cut the budget for Metro in half.
Remember, in 2009, Metro had a deadly accident over nine people
were killed, they want to cut that budget in half. So there
really is no desire to necessarily help rail unless
even if it's beneficial to their staff, and it was beneficial to
people who work for them because of this overarching idea of it's
not in my backyard. I don't necessarily care.
Fiscal hawkishness Is, is real.
It's really there's real Republicans will kill their own
staffers
fiscal hawkish, I like and I also like, the way he describes
desperately, us Yeah, oh, yeah. Like out of desperation, because
there's, that indicates that these Republicans underpay their
staff? Yes. Because they have to crawl to the subway and
desperately use it
and they're willing to kill them. They don't care. They
don't care. It's a good one. Oh, keep our eye on this. I mean,
obviously, CNN sees the value of this for ratings. But otherwise,
they wouldn't be doing it. So it could go on for quite a while.
And in fact, if I were CNN, if I if I knew some things, I'd wait
I'd sit on it. I'd wait a little bit, drag it out until you know,
we'll see the quarterly is go down and go that's what they're
doing up and the poop bam, bring out some breaking news. I just
found that annoying, but there was nothing and nothing else to
see pretty much across all networks, but CNN was about
about the worst. A couple of things. First, a couple of
follow ups from the previous show. We were talking about the
embryos. With that Duchenne uncle, Republican guy who is
suing the screwy actress Nagaraj Vergara the
Sofia Vergara and the Republican
apparently and I this is I think it's true browsing to the
medical journals last night, that all fetuses start out in
the female form. So for him to say these two girls in that
particular stage, that he's correct, but they but
that's interesting. I never followed up at all on that.
Yeah. And
a couple of people email email me about that. So I appreciate
that. But also with us being from the from the future from
the near future. In this case, Nigel Farage withdraws his
resignation as predicted I thought it would be September
but no two days later.
Oh
yeah, that's what these you know that. I guess the mechanism is I
quit and if everybody goes okay, then you quit. Yeah, but they
were no we need you. Tweets about it. Oh, we he can't he's
the one responsible. One guy said I've given to party good as
a tweet that given the party 2 million pounds because of Nigel
Farage. And so he's back if which is good for us.
The good for the show, big time. I want to start off with Gitmo
nation east for a moment big things happening in the UK with
new legislation that has been well it hasn't been introduced.
They're only talking about it will be a part of the Queen's
speech. According to a David Carr. I'm Rob, this is the new
counter counter terrorism extremism bill, which, as far as
I know, won't become really available until the 27th when we
when we have the Queen's speech, but David Cameron has already
lifted a bit of the veil about what this will be. And again,
there we are with our var podcast license.com. This is
going to become pretty useful. I'm reading now from just from
The Guardian, which is kind of the best I could get the
measures would give the police powers to apply to the High
Court for an order to limit quote, harmful activities of an
extremist individual. The definition of harmful is to
include a risk of public disorder, a risk of harassment,
alarm or distress or creating a quote, threat to the functioning
of democracy. Well, wait, wait for it. The aim is to catch not
just those who spread or incite hatred on the grounds of gender,
race or religion, but also those it shouldn't be height and age
by the way, but also those who undertake harmful activities for
the purpose of overthrowing democracy they would include a
ban on broadcasting and the requirement to submit to the
police in advance any proposed publication on the web and
social media or in print so the way I understand this is you get
a disruption order from the queen as your Hey, watch out son
we don't like what you're saying that if you want to then post
something on Twitter or Facebook, you have to have it
approved by their poli sci.
Exactly.
Now, again, that's a trend.
Well, we always talk about the UK being the beta test for the
rest of the universe now
worked out well for them. We should do it to
Theresa May. Who is the interior person she's in charge of
Homeland Security, the British equivalent of Homeland Security,
the fantastic interview of her on BBC Radio force I listened to
at night when I go to bed because it's morning, I get kind
of you know, I can I think I pick up a lot of it in the
middle of the night. And it's a 12 minute interview, which
will on a second you're telling me that you go to bed and you
leave the BBC on all night. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, this is
I don't know. Let me think about
okay. Well, clearly the the sound is getting into my ears. I
don't know if my brain I have weird dreams though.
I was sick. So I wonder why I feel so British.
I tell you how John. So Theresa May was on BBC Four radio radio
for the M. The host John Africa is a good guy. He is trying to
get her to explain the definition of extremism, which
will be the the the mitigating factor in in this bill where you
are, you know, we're going to be restricted from broadcasting I
presume that also includes podcasting. just posting
anything on the website or social media without the your
your messaging being approved by the politic apparatchik. So I
thought it was very interesting to just play two clips from this
from this interview, where Theresa May is trying to talk
about this extremism and the way she she and by the way,
extremism does have a definition, which is belief in
and support for ideas that are very far from what most people
consider correct or reasonable. Which by the way, is pretty much
everything the on the show, if someone listens to it, who was
all in, not with us.
Thanks. So yeah, and
she takes this back then tries to explain it. She can't
necessarily explain extremism, but you can explain what is not
extremist behavior, which includes, of course, British
values,
this will end the reason for doing this, John, I mean, you
talk about tolerance and intolerance. I mean, there are
people out that may well
you recall, we read in the the EU European Union documents,
that tolerance was going to be big on the agenda, that you have
to be tolerant, which we probably should look at that
that definition, that definition as well or
sadly who was seeking to divide us. We are government of one
nation, we want to bring people together to ensure we are living
together as one society but there are those who are trying
to promote hatred and intolerance seeking to divide us
into a into a dominance and undermine our British values.
And what we are proposing is a bill which will have certain
measures within it. measures such as introducing banning
orders for groups and disruption orders for individuals. For
those who are actively trying to promote this hatred and
intolerance, which can lead to division in our society.
This is fantastic. It is great, you know, hey I hate you douche.
Rude pick him up
undermines our British values, but British values, it will be
part of a bigger picture, a strategy which will also has a
key part of it, actually promoting our British values,
our values of democracy, rule of rule of law tolerance. Now,
by the way, if this were in the United States, no one would ever
question What exactly are British values, luckily, is the
BBC
and understanding acceptance of different faiths
and freedom of speech and essential prerequisite of a
tolerant and decent society. And if you ban groups of people from
getting together and talking about the things that worry them
about the way our society is heading, don't you become a part
of it?
No. Well, first of all, I would say that your description of
what we're proposing to do is is not right.
When you join, joining groups of certain people getting together.
We're not talking about that in groups of people getting
together who are simply talking about problems in society, what
they perceive as issues that need to be a question about the
extremism of all sorts, Islamist extremism, but also other forms
of extremism like Neo Nazism,
where's climate change denial, that should be extremism pretty
soon,
that is seeking to promote hatred that is seeking to divide
our society that is seeking to undermine the very values that
make us a great country to live in that make us this great
pluralistic society.
Having lived in the UK for for about five years, they can
arrest everybody I know because they're all racist. If hatred
filled, not all, that's an overstatement. But man Oh, man,
this is this very lots of extremely lots, or is the the
marketplace guy would say gajillions. Keep saying he said
it again the other day. second clip? So again, we want to know
about the line, how do you cross the line into extremism, which
again, has not been defined by Ms men. But the reason
we're doing this is, first of all, because we do need, I
think, to ensure that we are together as one society, we are
one nation we are working on voice
is that speak with one voice? Is that like a Nazi reference? One
Nation speak with one voice,
I have no idea. It is a reference. It's a reference to
something and there will be
different views within that nation, of course, it will be
different than doesn't nobody is suggesting that different views
cannot be expressed. Yeah, one of the reasons for looking at
saying
you cannot, as long as you're in line with everybody else,
extremism is the path down which it can lead people. And what we
can see often is that this extreme is preaching this this
message of hatred, this message of intolerance,
oh my God, but people should be up in arms about this, you
should be able to hate someone you should be able to divide
it's crazy can actually
lead you down a path of
radicalization to get you to define is at what point it
strays into that area, at what point it doesn't become just a
disagreement with you or me or the bloke next door or the woman
next door, it becomes something that should worry us to the
extent that it should be banned. That's what I'm trying to get
out of what and
by the way, he tries this eight or nine times, which is boring.
But her answers were funny, because she never got to the
answer. But I just wanted to pick up one,
does it qualify for being banned?
And obviously, when we introduced the legislation,
which has these banning orders, in that legislation will be to
ensure that we have the definitions so that they can we
have a definition of extremism, which we have in our extremism,
which is satisfactory.
Pelosi has been all over the place on
the whole process of introducing legislation in this country, is
that actually you start off with the principle of what we want to
do, which is to ensure that we can promote British values, the
values of
promoting British values, you can't have legislation to
promote British values and law that says these are our values.
And if you don't agree with them, then well, well, what
you're going to jail. Yes, yes. Yes, you nailed it, you promote
British values in a legalistic sense.
I think I suspect that there are many people listening to this
program, who feel that actually we haven't as a society. And
this
is this is the dangerous bit because of course, there are
lots of older British citizens who are who don't understand
they're there. They're mad about everything. They say, the
country is not the way it used to be, which always happens when
you get older, and she's not talking directly to them. These
people, of course, also vote and then we'll go out and say, Yeah,
we're all for
being positive enough about the values that you
give me a use of the phrase again, but that's a bit woolly
isn't it? Positive. I could run out into the street now. And you
couldn't say look, these are the values we also have a wonderful
wonderful what somebody else would come along and say rubbish
I believe in something different. Now what point what
I'm what I'm really puzzled by is how you get to define the,
the line that you draw the line at which you've crossed over
that line. And it's unacceptable legally unacceptable.
intelligence work takes place within a strong legal framework.
We operate under the rule of law and are accountable for it. In
southern countries secret intelligence is used to control
people in our lives. It only exists to protect their
freedoms, protect their freedoms, protect their
freedoms, protect the freedoms via this this legislation could
be solely created just to arrest Nigel Faraj.
I think about it I yeah, I think that's a stretch. But I think
he's part of the system. But I
really lobby probably I really like the the getting permission
to post on social networks. I think that's fantastic.
You guys think that's the way it ought to be? UK is way
ahead of the game. Good work.
I have people should be protesting will be roaming the
streets out of pissed off them?
Well, I think something's up with the UK is always
something's up. But I had this. I've got this clip, which is
about new trout. There's a thing called neutrality when it comes
to the royal family. And the idea is, is that they will not
get in you get involved in public affairs. taken care of by
the eyes this
study about the Prince Charles emails or letter? Yeah,
this one I want to play.
I'm glad you I'm glad you looked at that, because I didn't
because one of the things that seems to be I think that this is
a for boating, this was this only reason this this is a new
story. Because to me it's not is to warn everybody that we're
getting an activist monarch coming your way. And he's not
going to be like Queen Elizabeth has done a good job of kind of
staying out of it unless she has to come in. And we know that she
does. And I didn't know but she has a meeting, weekly meeting
with the Prime Minister. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And then
things are discussed, but this guy looks like he's a little
more. He's not like the guy who's just going to sit there
and that things go. It seems to me like an activist and I think
that's what they're trying to tell us in this clip. Okay, on
the release that Prince Charles has secret letters to government
officials. The memo is being made public following a 10 year
legal battle, as the heir to the throne is expected to stay out
of the political arena here to talk about what these letters
reveal in the catalogue is live in London with more
Amy Hi, well, this was about neutrality, Jenna. And of
course, the letters show that Prince Charles is not neutral at
all, but a lot of people here commentators are arguing that
that is not necessarily a bad thing, that at least he's not a
dissolute heir to the throne or a party prince. He is someone
they say, who was quite passionate about a number of
issues from the British armed forces to Hill farming, to
architecture and alternative medicine. There were no
surprises and as much as these were all areas the public knew
Prince Charles was very interested in now spokespeople
for the Prince of Wales at Clarence House have said that he
cares deeply about this country and tries to use his unique
position to help others. The notes were ominously called the
black spider letters. But just because of the wispy handwriting
the prince is famous for most of what has been released kind of
disappointingly, has been typed up. The 27 letters went out to
different government ministers years ago, including former
Prime Minister Tony Blair. In one Charles pleads the case for
better equipment for troops in Iraq, saying he fears Britain's
armed forces are quote being asked to do an extremely
challenging job without adequate resources. In other letters, he
lays out ways he thinks the government could better help
British farmers. Now in Britain, the sovereign as well as the air
are expected to be above the fray but the Queen does have
weekly meetings with the Prime Minister and Prince Charles will
too.
By being from the future, I can put something in the book for
you. William is going to be the king but Prince Charles will not
be the next king.
You think so why is this
unfortunate polo accident?
Well, that would be in line with with the British monarchy is a
way of doing things to kill somebody off. Yes, very.
I'm pretty sure in history, we
always ignore history. When we always tomorrow we're in 2015.
Something like that would never happen. This was in the 1600s
Yeah, sure. I'm
glad you bring that up because I am dumbfounded then I actually
had dinner last night with my ex New York banker friend there who
of course is an Obama bot and all in the end, what does he
start off with? What does he start falling and laughing about
right away?
Republicans?
Seymour Hersh?
Oh, well, we got plenty on that.
But that's why I wanted to bring it up because I want you to lead
it off. The thing that bothers me is no matter this is all
Obama bots all Democrats but they're all in on this guy being
a conspiracy theorist.
But he's he's Pulitzer Prize winner.
Well, he's also highly regarded. Yeah, but
there's off the rails. Completely not isn't wing nut.
Oh, my God. See what happened to see what they poisoned him? No,
not for one second. Has anyone said hmm, maybe there's
something to it.
Okay, this story is there's a couple of angles in this. It
goes in different directions. First of all,
let me explain the background of the story. Actually, I
have a background clip here.
I love it. Summary intro I'm presuming. Warren insults.
Sorry. Intro I'm presuming.
That would be that would be
more sources are confirming a key claiming an explosive story
challenging the Obama administration to counter the
killing of Osama bin Laden. Investigative journalist Seymour
Hersh reported this weekend a former Pakistani intelligence
officer disclosed in London's location to the CIA. Her said us
claims that found Bin Laden by tracking his personal courier
were false. NBC News confirmed Hirsch's claim of the informant
through three different intelligence sources. Now the
Pakistani newspaper the news reports Pakistani officials are
also acknowledging the story and have identified the officers
Huisman Khalid Hirsch's story says the officer received a $25
million bounty and is now living under us protection near
Washington Carlotta Gall, a New York Times reporter who spent
years in Afghanistan and Pakistan is also now claiming
she heard from a high level Pakistani source that Pakistan
was hiding bin Laden and later that an officer had told the CIA
girl says she did not publish the story because she could not
corroborate it in the United States. Meanwhile, National
Security blogger RJ Hillhouse is pointing out she reported some
of Hirsch's key claims four years ago, while they're already
going down to bloggers in August 2011. Hill House wrote on her
blog that the informant who led the CIA to bin Laden was a walk
in seeking financial compensation, and that Pakistani
officials were keeping Bin Laden under house arrest with Saudi
financial support for
you give your analysis John, I have three quick clips that I
think provide even more background and also a little bit
of the mockery of Seymour Hersh, as he appeared on Anderson
Cooper's program on CNN. So I thought I'd just play those if
you don't mind. So,
starters, you assert that the official American version of
what happened to Salman Bin Laden is almost entirely false.
You said the Pakistanis were hiding Bin Laden that they knew
about the raid that there was no firefight in the compound that
the Saudis were fronting bin Laden's expenses that the US
didn't bury Bin Laden at sea, they tossed it, what remained of
his body basically outside out of the helicopter, what motive
would the US have for lying about this? And not just the US
but the Pakistanis and the Saudis?
Most of what you said is pretty much what I write in this most
recent article of mine. And all I can tell you, is, as far as I
think the simple way to describe it. The President, our President
did authorized the raid, the seals carried it out. They did
kill bin Laden, they got in and out successfully, and the rest
of it is sort of hogwash.
And here is the the conspiracy mean, but But
why? I mean, why would there be this what you're alleging is a
massive conspiracy involving what would have to be dozens of
people
this impossible. How could it ever happen? This I love this
one. So many people were involved, somebody would have
leaked it. It can't be true
in three different countries that has sustained itself until
now. What would be the motive for for setting up this
elaborate hoax hoax a
critical thing Anderson that happened is we weren't supposed
to go public. But the rate the deal with Pasha and Kiani and
the rest of the staff of the Pakistan upper reaches of the
Pakistani military community was we're gonna The seals are gonna
go in, kill this guy grabbed the body take it out. Seven to 10
days I've had two different numbers. Later, the President we
were going to announce the President Obama was going to
announce that oh my god, we did a drone strike drone strike and
Waziristan the sort of no man's land between Pakistan and
Afghanistan, the Hindu Kush mountain area. We did a drone
strike. And my God, we saw this big guy, he looked familiar. We
took pictures, we took DNA we got we got bin Laden. Instead,
the night of the raid, the president for the only thing.
The people talked to me, obviously military and
intelligence people their belief that he did it for political
purposes. I don't know what was in the President's mind. He
announced instead immediately that we got him.
But look, there are plenty of people who share your skepticism
but in this situation, I mean, they're actually members,
members of Seal Team Six Matt Bissonnette, Robert and Neil who
have gone public have said that the raid did in fact happen
basically, as the government said, their comrades put their
lives at risk were shot out in the compound. There were bullet
holes all over the place. Are you saying they're lying?
I'm saying I can tell you one thing. I don't know about oh,
Neil, Neil said, we went in thinking we were gonna die,
which I think is a great exaggeration. And Bissonnette he
also wrote a book, I think, no easy day or something like that.
Certainly was not telling you the truth about that.
Absolutely. I think that his book was, there was a lot of
stuff. Interesting, his book, but there was a lot of stuff,
operational stuff that everybody most of his fellow seals sort of
laugh at.
All right. I'll skip the third clip that was longer than I
wanted it to be. Even Dan, actually,
I heard her show on Democracy Now. And they let him talk. Uh
huh. And he said the same kind of things. He's, he's kind of
fine tuning it, but he talks too long. And but I do have a short
clip of him giving kind of similar to the one you just
played, but kind of explaining what happened was that Obama?
And it makes sense. I mean, I'm not sure why Cooper can't see
the
logic of the political or the political reason that is so
obvious. We even on the show, this is coincidental. We killed
the dead guy again, just before you know, we're ramping up for
the re election.
Right? That would be one thesis. And this none of this happened
in any way that we have. Then we also have the two seals who both
claimed to have killed Obama which,
which, by the way, seals, they're not football spikers you
know, we also have another thing Yeah, we had we had an hour and
two gone colluding with Hollywood on Zero Dark 30 We
never had photos of of the burial at sea or anything. We
had some create a lot of internet memes like
play Hirsch. yakking. We said,
as you said in the introduction, there was a firefight. And Obama
was and bin Laden was killed in it. That's the cover the idea
that it was an outloud murder. And he said also, in the fight
that he also said, treasure trove of material was recovered,
we have yet to see it. And I raised a lot of questions about
what was covered, what was collected. At one point, the
seals were said to have taken 15 computers out of there. But if
you read everything that was written, it also was written and
said many times, there was no internet connection and about
about, there was no sign of any operational, operational CAFO
capability of bin Laden at all. And one of the problems with the
protecting the walk in when you you had to protect the walk. And
one of the reasons you didn't want to talk about a walk in was
you, you don't do that. And so we had
to be the guy who reveal to the US.
Karma walk in, and the President actually said in the speech, we
had a lead and he said we had a lead in August of 2010, which
really for a lot of people in the intelligence community that
was too close to the mark, a lead need something specific
happened then and that's when the walk in went to see a guy
named Jonathan banks, the station chief, a very competent
guy from everything I hear the station chief for the CIA in
Islamabad. And they we had a call in lie detector to people
from Washington had to find into the debrief, the guy concluded
he was telling the truth. It was a big piece of evidence anyway,
but you have to get around that story. So you create the courier
story that the CIA was bringing work. And, and initially, they
wanted to say through an enhanced interrogation found out
about a courier who led him to bin Laden. That is such a that
is really an outrageous story. And they sold it to a movie
called The No, he was at the very dark. That was the thesis
of the movie that also included the torture element. Absolutely
not. So
all right, John, your analysis?
Well, there's a couple of things going on. One is the possibility
that's the whole thing was misdirection. He was fed all
this information and wrote a very long article with some
pretty juicy stuff. And it's very, an add more logical
explanation. But the problem I have with the story, besides the
potential of it being kind of planted with him to keep us keep
this Obama killed by the seals at this moment, alive when his
possibly he was already dead, is the is the fact that he and he
talked about this, I couldn't reclip it because it was just
part of a longer exposition. He does discuss that on they've
accused me of plagiarism. By the way, I sent you the two links
here in the show notes. There's this woman that was mentioned in
the earlier piece named Dr. J. Hill House who's a very screwy
person, and she's a She's like an independent contracting spy
of some sort. And she wrote the the main points that are
discussed by Hersh were discussed by her in August 7 of
2011. And an article she wrote on her on her blog, which is
called the spy who build me And the blog is mostly about
outsourcing spy work. And this blog was titled Bin Laden turned
in by informant courier was cover story. This was in 2011.
And in here the main points that Hirsch makes are made by her
punch. They're made by her in a blog post, which is probably 600
words long, not 10,000. And and it's done in a kind of a no
agenda style of snide ridiculing the snide, and the obvious
question, are we very sure this is this was posted in 2011. And
I backdated.
I would mention that that this possible this was posted later,
but the way it was she claims and I think there's I will
believe that this is true, because she claims that in 2011,
and she I guess there's some documents we could look into,
there was some people were pointing to it, right because
her says he never saw this article as knowing anything
about it. So now that
not only is there going to brand him a conspiracy theorist, but
also a plagiarist. You might even just chop the guy's head
off.
The problem is is not plagiarism. Okay, it's lifting a
thesis, it's not plagiarism in any way. Plagiarism is when you
copy verbatim Yeah. And I think then he was worked about being
called a plagiarist already, and then it was then people kind of
ignored the rest of the story, which is that maybe he's not a
plagiarist. But he lifted the thesis.
Regardless, this little bitch fest results in obfuscating the
what I believe to be the case that bin Laden died many many
years ago he's been dead and just being held up as a
boogeyman for the right moment for you know, have ever seen
evidence of that but there is I think to look at you want to
look into some you have to get a hold of like, did somebody get
$25 million?
Or a portion of it? Yeah.
Everybody seems to say that somebody did you want to see
that? We want to find out the guy over there in a bottle bod.
Now he's always outside of Washington DC now
with a Ferrari that's the guy you want. Yeah, look for the
Ferrari Pakistani
driving around in fancy car driving Uber with a Ferrari I'm
so all her conclusions by looking at what we do, which I
kind of admired the logic of some of the stuff and let me
just read a paragraph from this particular post. The cooperation
was why there were no troops and about about the overall pulled
out it had seemed very far fetched to me that a helicopter
could crash and later be destroyed in an area of high
military concentration without the Pakistanis noticing. We that
we discussed this earlier. But then it seemed even wilder to
believe that a US Navy SEAL dev Gru actually shot a woman who
rushed them in the leg. Yeah, right. I know these guys the
only way they'll shoot a woman in the leg is if they're double
tapping a head or chest and the leg got in the way through
shoots the kill. Agreed. Yeah, and then you say that this is
the kind of thing that she's doing. She says the cover cover
story was going to be a drone strike in Pakistan which is all
again reiterated by Hersh things went south when the helicopter
crashed the White House freaked and the cooperating Pakistanis
were thrown under the bus and it was obvious there was logical
that you can imagine I've always had the sense that Obama is not
the kind of guy who you could fully trust in some really
elaborate operation in terms of not throwing you under the bus
to get his get his getting an advantage I could look into the
August 7 2011 Posting see if it's been was past posted but I
get the sense that it wasn't mainly because of the site than
when she she seems really adamant and but she is kind of a
freelance spy herself and she probably would do anything for
money by her she's
staking his reputation and what's left of it on and Hershey
has been a fan of this guy but he's done huge stories huge
skate, you know, I think he was I think this was a setup at some
way much you know I don't even though this may have been given
to him on a silver platter I have no idea because we know
that intelligence agencies do that with all these writers
Well, I mean I haven't paid attention to is what is it?
What's the who what where.com I think is his blog. Hirsch's
Yeah something like maybe there would
just annoyed by him in general. Let's just get this guy out of
the way there. Let me just play this quick.
Here right. See I don't believe that either. I don't think
they're getting him out of the way. This is not this the
demonic damage to his reputation is minor. And you have this
woman who nobody knows. Dr. Jay Hill House. Nobody reads your
blog. It's just not it'll just blow over. And in fact, the
whole thing will blow over I think even the White House in
there. Here. Do I have a White House? A clip on this
is this. Josh Earnest Joshi,
I can tell you that the Obama White House is not the only one
to observe that the story is riddled with inaccuracies and
outright falsehoods. The former deputy director of the CIA, Mike
Morel said that every sentence was wrong.
And he stopped right there. There's another one that comes
up after every sentence was wrong. Now, that's not even a
possibility in any dimension. But saying every sentence was
wrong, doesn't mean it was inaccurate. No, if you think
about it, but oh my god, this is you know, it's like, they say
something's an assertion of some sort. And it's, oh, this is
wrong. This is wrong. They shouldn't say that. Oh, that's
wrong. That's wrong. Oh, they did bad things. That's wrong.
I'm going to agree with you that it was not set up to discredit
Hirsch. But I think the media is very happy about that. And it
makes everybody happy to turn him into a kook because without
fail he this has been called a conspiracy theory you might the
only thing worse is to call someone a Republican. That is
what is being said about him. And I'm just surprised when he
went off into his own little independent venture
Well, I find it I'm surprised that you have Democrats like the
like the banker because I you get the sense that Amy Goodman
is not thinking that way on Democracy Now. They just give a
talk here you go take as much time as you want. But the
Democrats that were upset by the me Lai massacre, which is what
get where you got to start by revealing that and and his
mostly during the Bush administration condemning Bush's
you know, everything from the from the Patriot Act and, and on
and Cheney. I mean, her she was just again, her she was actually
anti administration, no matter who is in there, but during this
little period where he sounded really nutty. They're all in Oh,
this guy. Look, he's proven that bush ism is horrible. He's dumb,
right? He's dumb. He's smart. He's dumb.
Oh, I should have remembered that. Yes. So he Oh, the guy who
said, George W. Bush is dumb.
is dumb, but went but he's a genius. He's an evil genius, but
no as Cheney. The whole thing was ridiculous. But nobody was
criticizing her stem. But go say something bad about Obama,
Obama. Obama, like, Oh, my God, that guy's a kook. He's a
conspiracy theorist. I think this is more a function of these
Obama bots.
But here's Anderson Cooper does this interview with with her
then he brings on their expert. This is I think Peter Bergen, of
course, is a Brit. You see if you want it to sound credible,
you got to have an English accent than me. Oh, yes. He must
be right here.
Um, you've heard what sigh Herschend said tonight. And also
in the article. He's gonna remind you Anderson Cooper
worked at the CIA got a you know, tremendous history as a
journalist. He's broken important stories years ago.
What do you make of this?
Notice that years ago, back when he wasn't before he was insane
years ago? That was
important stories years ago. What do you make of this one?
That's all true Anderson. But I mean, you know, the firefight
that took place at the bin Laden compound is just sort of
incontrovertibly true. The idea that this was some kind of piece
of performance art cooked up by the United States in the
Pakistanis is not, there's no evidence for that.
He also never said performance art, but I like I like to
discredit to Peter Berg. In
fact, there's a lot of countervailing evidence you
mentioned in your interview, you have the two seals on the record
explaining about the firefights I saw with my own eyes, the
damage that this very violent raid inflicted on the compound
before it was demolished. He's
saying there were no other shots fired, other than the shots that
killed Bin Laden.
That's right. And, you know, that's, I mean,
you this this is, this is the mockery. This is the mockery,
you saw bullet holes. And he said, they're expert, Peter
Bergens. Brit, he was probably also an engineer before he put
in front of camera I
mean, I you know, there was a quite an intense exchange of
fire with one of the bodyguards over
which now the guy's talking like he was there, and this is all
true, I don't
know dozens of bullet holes and doesn't one of the houses in the
compound before they even got to bin Laden. So you know, that
sort of factual element just is we can set it there was a
firefight this wasn't some sort of setup between the US and the
Pakistanis as he as which is one of the principal claims,
please shut up. Fine. I agree. I think I think it was duped. He
was duped but it was all just to keep the the Osama bin Laden is
alive mean going.
No, I mean, dad
know that he was he would know that he was still alive and then
they kill Yeah,
that he was still. I'm sorry, being dead for a year.
Yeah. And how many seals died in that? Hello. copter accident who
were apparently there and then the seals crashed
well they were there when the for when the first story came
out they were in there then the second story about it they
weren't there they were a different group Yeah the whole
thing is messed up yeah there's too many you know there's like
and I think her point about this woman being shot in the leg
yeah
well taken she has a few other one of these but again these
were these were not much of it wasn't she doc she said she had
some people in the in the intelligence community that told
her this story. And it's a good thing to read. It's a very short
piece like 600 words. And she says begins with forget the
cover story of waterboarding leads the courier leads to bin
Laden, not to deny the effectiveness of waterboarding.
So she's all in on that. But it's just not applicable sources
in the intelligence community tell me after years of trying,
and one bureaucratically insane near miss in Yemen, the US
government killed OBL because a Pakistani intelligence officer
came forward to collect the approximately $25 million reward
in the Rewards for Justice program we
Yeah, rewards for justice.net Yeah, all right. So we remain
fans of Hersh Yeah, but we think he was he was duped that can
happen happens to us
all course it can happen to anybody. Yeah, of course. And
and why did this run into London book review?
You can no one else would publish it. That's what I heard.
The New York Times wouldn't publish it. No one wanted it.
Why don't well that's another suspicious very suspicious
because this guy's money. So it's like you know this it's
like these valuable football players you know, they get
kicked off one team and everybody's clamoring for him
because it because it's money. Right? You got to Hirsch article
you make you make out I mean, you get your name out there. He
the people he gets a lot of attention. We know that. And
this was a good story,
even though it is unlikely untrue. I do like the fact that
we're so badass, we just kick the bits and pieces of the guy
out of the helicopter. That's the story.
Well, the first talks about this, I think somebody else did
too, that gets the pitch out that he was not only shot, he
wasn't shot in the head. But he was shot throughout the body to
the point where his his neck was severed, and his head was off.
And his one of his arms, I guess fell off. Because he was just
riddled with these with these machine gun fire or whatever
they were using. So he was just dead and put like, damn near in
his suitcase. And her head is gone. To get you know, get him
out of there. So good. That's very
colorful. All right. No other conclusion.
Not really. It just I don't know if how long does that? I don't
think it says that much later.
Well, one thing's for sure. From this day forward. Whenever Sy
Hersh has a breaking story. It'll be preceded by, you know,
the conspiracy theorists about Osama bin Laden not being killed
the way he was. Yeah, that guy has a story. It's going to be
it's,
you know, one of the reasons if you read that second article,
the more recent article by this woman bitching about her being
ripped off. She she says in its very funny article, because
apparently, Hirsch claims you can't you really use the
internet that well, because you would have discovered this
article she says, I am thinking which I which leads me to
believe that this might have been something of a Senate
because Hirsch as an any me for example, if I was going to write
this story, and I had run across this woman's article, which
pretty much says much of the same thing doesn't talk about a
lot of the stuff he discusses. But the main thesis is all he
would have referenced you would have to credit her you would
have referenced that of course, course you
just say oh and and so on. So this is this isn't even new.
This was first discussed in 2011, by RJ Hillhouse and you're
done. And that's what you do to get around if you're, if you're
lifting as a writer, if you're lifting somebody else's idea,
and you and you want to expound it by expand upon it, you want
to you want to say well, this, she's got some of the most of
this, right, but she's not talking enough. And she's not
there's not enough details here. You credit her and then you go
into the stuff you want to write about and your your, your, your
clear, right, and the fact that and he knows that and he knows
how to do that. And everybody does. He would have done it. He
didn't do that. So I get the sense that something else was up
here that he was set up. Yeah. He's too much of a pro to let
this sort of thing happened to him. All right. Anyway, so
before we get to our opening credits, I did want to mention
something that popped into the news feed about the radio topia,
this is The the Podcast Network. Another one? Well, now this is
the one that has what do you call it? Serial is in here and
the 99% available? Yeah. Right. So the Knight Foundation has
invested invested is the title $1 million in. So they've
donated that, I presume, to radio topia. So he's a
podcasting network, who just received a million dollars from
the Knight Foundation. What is interesting about this is the,
what you're seeing now is the people who make this public
radio programming. This also includes This American Life. And
the all of this is our commercial companies that make
this they sell it through the National Public Radio
Foundation, who then distribute it to radio stations, they own
we know that they all have advertising upfront of the doing
live reads, and they're going way above and beyond anything
that NPR can do on the radio, by by law, by the definite their
statutes. That's how they receive government funding and
how they remain nonprofits. But now you're seeing these guys are
also hyped up and excited. That was saying, hey, it's time for a
capitalism to come to Public Radio. There. We need
advertising. Oh, yeah. Yeah, let me say, who said this, it was.
But Ira Glass, my hope is that we can move away from a model of
asking listeners for money and join the free market, public
radio is ready for capitalism. Great,
Ira Glass. He's an old public radio hack from it from forever.
And he would do that. That's just a sell out. It's a big sell
out the the interest, you can't expect their information to be
accurate if they're going to have a bunch of advertisers,
this Thank you.
Thank you.
I'd love this shift. By the way, I've been to making lemasters VR
mourn. My old buddy from MTV, who is now the CEO of NPR is put
in a difficult position for him. Because if these guys are taking
money off the table, then it's nothing goes to the stations.
And by the way, a million bucks or 2 million bucks, whatever you
have, and to be very honest here, you think you're gonna
build a podcasting network, it doesn't work, there's no reason
for networks anymore. There's absolutely there's no value add,
you don't control the distribution, you can only help
by providing services.
You don't have a bunch of CBS affiliate you do if you
do central ad buying by definition the creators as they
call them, now, we're not podcast creator, they they don't
get the full amount because in fact they get a very small
amount of it because the network needs to you know, they employ
people I've done this, but if we spent $50 million and couldn't
do it, it doesn't work anymore. There's no value at zero value
add this will fail. Now if you pull each individual piece out
and these become produced some listener supported and would
support it should not just be financed but also really the way
way our show works. We have been its collaboration where we miles
ahead of these Yahoo's by the way, we've got artists, we've
got jingle producers, we've got financial support, we've got
information we have a network of experts, which we could sell to
any outlet and make our producers rich by the way, this
isn't this is a business that is booming. But we don't choose to
do that because we don't want to be compromised. Now. Will you
still be able to be multimillionaire doing a podcast
No. No. Those days are over it's over for most entertainment
we've talked about them many puddles pity party
there's there's him of course. So I encourage it please please
go commercial they go to capitalism please because it's
going to destroy public radio
Yeah, well you know what the problem of public radio to make
as I watched it as a god from went from cash from when it went
from actual listener support to underwriting to now these what
are essentially advertisements and then the thought that their
advertisements that consideration that their
advertisement says we have from that clip over the head of NPR
interchanges the word advertising for underwriting
Yeah,
where's that clip?
Whatever you want to call it? Yeah, where's is the reference
Yeah,
bad guys. It's been so long since we've played that I don't
even know where it is.
Now good. Dig it up. So in played some time, yeah. That's
thank a few people that are
you can't do that. You can't do that. Why? Because I first have
to thank you for your courage. Oh, and say in the morning, she
always forget to get thing in the morning to you, John C or
the C stands for capitalism Dvorak.
In the morning you Adam curry into Moreno shifts as he boots
on the ground feeding the air subs in the water and all the
Dames and nights out there
in the morning to all of our native advertisers in the chat
room. That would be they do provide native advertising for
the program our human resources no agenda stream God calm in the
morning to star cast Squatch new artists on the scene who
provided the artwork for Episode Seven to zero.
And Martin JJ provided the artwork for the newsletter.
Great work I liked this star cast Squatch
sketch
that's a pro Yeah, in fact, we looked at his website which is
linked from the from the show notes and seven to zero and he
is a pro that's what he does for a living. So we really
appreciate that no agenda art generator.com is where you can
submit where you can look at all of the art where you can
download it printed to whatever you want to just enjoy a lot of
it's it's just funny. Funny to look at very, very enjoyable.
I agree. I agree. So let's thank a few people who are the
producers and executive producers and Associate
Executive producers for this shows in this case we have three
executive producers and nobody else was it wasn't the best of
weeks but it was it was you can get by Seth Griffin of course
gave us 550 bucks from South Elgin, Elgin, Illinois Dear John
and Adam, I received John's letter about the elites wanting
us to eat bugs. And I'm donating $550 out of spite for their
outrageous contempt.
Please enjoy a tomahawk steak on me. Thank you and feel free to
pass on the caterpillar mashed potatoes. I also believe that
this brings my total contribution to the level of
knighthood. Thank you so much for all the hard work he did.
Sincerely Seth
it doesn't even show it today. We also shall be knighting John
Fletcher right where he's Fletcher fest initiative which
was very successful everyone no downloading the Fletcher festa.
Show shouts from seven to zero Show Notes seven to zero.no
agenda notes.com. And thank you Seth and looking forward to
seeing you at the roundtable
also coming in with Florida dollars from the DC area search
Chase. ITM to you and the fantastic producers of the no
agenda show I'm a longtime listeners pulled time and funds
together with friends to produce a financial mobile app is geared
toward people with stock portfolios. The app allows you
to easily apply and track a trailing stop for each stock.
John can explain this so you
think there's something for you and Horowitz unplugged?
Well, you look at it. Sure, definitely. It uses green yellow
red flags to showcase your stock positions during a dynamic
percentage based trailing stop who launched the app for Android
and preparing an iPhone version. Now you did it backwards. I
really appreciate those producers listening with stock
portfolios and IRAs to give it a try. You can find it on Google
Play Store by typing trailing stops app trailing stops app.com
I really appreciate this quick shout out to get some attention
and traction or users who may be interested. Thanks again for the
blood sweat and laughs you put into every show
and give him a little bit of app karma.
You've got karma I know how hard
that is. And finally for three and a four to $5.67 345671 of my
favorite donations. James span in Birmingham, Alabama. I host a
podcast called weather brains and happened to be an AMS
certified meteorologist. Okay. You guys are spot on when it
comes to climate change.
I got a clip for that today. I
also want to call out the news anchor that works for with me
Dave Baird as a douchebag loves the show. Nice. It's a lot of
meteorologists that know is very, it's not uncommon. Let's
put it that way. And that's it. That's all we got. I want to
remind you a show coming up on Sunday. It's the shortlist
goodness
knows no associate execs. No
divorce.org/and A get in get in what you can. Yeah, help us out.
Yeah, please. Contribute to the cause I'm
struggling here. We're struggling. This is the third
show that we're down. Yeah. And people are wondering if you're
okay. Why? Well, you know, what's wrong with John? Why?
They wonder if you have onset of dementia. I don't know. I'm just
telling you what I get. I'm acting demented. I don't think
so. Oh, no. Different than normal, but maybe we're just a
little demure. I don't know.org/n A these you can
always go out there and help us by propagating the one and only
formula.
Our formula is this Should we go out for yet people in the mouth?
Hey, citizens all right, since it came up, since we have since
we have just discussed some of the climatology of weather ology
and agenda 21, or all the G, we have two things to listen to.
One is this report from CNN. We've been talking about this
for many, many years, about the lack of hurricanes, which are
all predicted as part of initially global warming.
Non stop level five hurricanes. Now,
these were all predicted, so they don't fit in with the
predictive models. What I liked very much about this report, and
this is one of those things that put on the website where it's
not just a news anchor, talking and giving you the story, but
they do it from side angles. And this case, she is looking ahead,
it's kind of like an in studio kind of thing. It's very
produced. You will be surprised by what actually has thwarted or
not enabled the hurricanes as expected, according to the
models,
maybe hard to believe we have not had a major hurricane. We're
talking about a category three or higher strike the US in the
past nine years. That's the longest hurricane drought ever,
ever. The second longest drought we had was back in 1861 to 68.
That drought lasted eight years, the American Geophysical Union
did a study try to find out what causes these hurricane droughts
and how often we may have them a found that it's likely to happen
only once every 177 years. But what's more impressive is that
they couldn't find any link to scientific evidence of why this
happens. It basically boils down to luck. So the last major
hurricane to strike the US was Hurricane Wilma. That was back
in 2005. That doesn't mean we haven't had destructive storms
since Hurricane Sandy. We've also had Ike that impacted the
Gulf Coast.
So by the way, it was not Hurricane Sandy if that has to
stop it was Superstorm Sandy was not a hurricane
had some major damage from storms since 2005. But we
haven't had any with the category three or higher
intensity. Always remember that the hurricane drought can end at
any time. Be afraid it's always important to be prepared.
Be prepared. Be afraid. All right. I don't like the laughing
kid. It's creepy. It's creepy. It's just creepy. I don't want
to hear the laughing kid is creepy. Okay, can
I have a do some talking?
What is this a doll that you're pulling the string on?
No, it's actually electric bear called Little Bear. Alright,
that talks.
Yeah, you know, I'm going to start agreeing with people who
are wondering if you have the onset of dementia is a very good
day. Now we go to the Hill. That would be where the Congress
convenes in the United States of Gitmo nation, atmospheric
scientists John Christie was and of course, this is set up by
Gohmert. And this will not be shown anywhere you will not hear
of this even though it happened. The he pulled out the climate
models or I think 102 120 climate models that are computer
models developed by the IPCC, which are the basis for the the
fear of everybody dying because of manmade global warming, thus,
climate change. Very, very interesting presentation only on
your no agenda show.
I am one of the few people that actually builds these climate
datasets from scratch so that we can see what the real climate is
doing. Well, I understand you may have a slide that compares
love hobbies. So setup. I understand you have a slow me to
slide now you're not doing a really various climate models
is being a lot of targeted explainers there. So this is a
target. That is the trend in the atmospheric temperature that has
happened since 1979. That's the target that you want to hit with
your climate model. So it's likely give someone 102 bullets
to shoot at that target. Okay, go to the next one. And that's
what they got. that not a single one of these climate model
projections was able to hit the target. That is the basis though
on the policies being made is on those climate models, not on the
evidence before us. Do you have another slide? Hurry up with the
presentation trying to make a point where the other shows a
difference in what's projected and what's real, or what's the
one you were showing while ago? Yes, that I think everyone here
in this room can Understand that slide, I think they would
understand something is wrong with the scientific theory we
have about how greenhouse gases affect the climate. I don't no
one has said this slide is wrong. It's been event Don't
you see here is the climate, the model of the target from these
models, just a big hockey stick, which we've all seen. And then
you see all the models that he's pulled together, and they're
very far from what has been predictable for
over two years, or over a year, it took me a long time to build
it, because that's downloading 102 models and so on. But that
is the way I understand it. The extreme claims about climate
change are based upon what those models what that red line is
showing, and not on what the real world is actually doing.
I'm shocked shocked to find that climate data is being
manipulated around yeah,
there you go. You will not by the way, it's worth looking at
that clip. C span clip, you can find it in the show notes, so
you can see the actual model. You can pass that around to
people they won't believe you anyway. That's a futile, futile,
futile it's the funny part about it. It's uh, you just keep
pounding you yell Gorby. And of course, you keep pounding and
pounding and Al Gore did it for the, to hopefully clean up on
the cap and trade scam. So you just keep pounding and pounding
and you get a group of people. Like the Liberal Democrat types,
the Bill Maher's who's so all in on this, who have no scientific
training whatsoever? None zero. I don't even think he has a
college degree. And you but you find these guys and you just end
and you start pushing more of this at them. And then they pass
it on to others who clap, and it gets worse and worse. And you
end up with just just a bunch of robots that are jumping up and
down dough. Yeah, we're all gonna die. And how can anyone
deny this hands clapping? Thumbs up 97% of all this, these memes
just come blurting out of these people.
I think the tipping point though, is what we talked about
on Sunday show where we're now seeing a kind of a safe zone
that because of climate change, denial and manmade global
warming denial, a lot of scientists are backpedaling. on
their, on their facts and their evidence bobike. You know, we
talked about the three different reasons but all you know,
pressure and they don't know that they're feeling minorities
get the real reason. It's $340 million that was pulled by the
Republicans from climate research. Oh, our money's gone
away. Would you bless clear our names?
Ah, interesting. That, by the way, is also what I'm gonna do a
little tech news without the jingle. This merger or
acquisition of America Online by Verizon? Yeah, I think
everyone's analysis is wrong. Right. What are they saying?
It's a bit buying the ad network, you know, oh, we're
putting content with the with the pipes now. Now. I believe
this is purely for the diet? Well, not purely, but I believe
it's for the dial up customers. And the 1.9 billion oh, wait a
minute. I think it's one point as at number nine, this how many
billion dollars in subsidy here $9 billion in broadband subsidy
was made available by the FCC late last year. Now $4.4
billion, not a lot of money to it seems like a lot but not a
lot of money to Verizon, certainly if you can say hey, we
have how many was it to 2 million customers I have or two,
two and a half million dial up customers? Hey, we got these
customers, we would mind have a little bit of broadband subsidy.
And these guys, Verizon is known for taking this subsidy to build
out their broadband network. I think it's totally all about the
dialogue.
Oh, that's an interesting thesis. Let me see what the and
how you can prove the thesis. But it makes sense. Let's
let's see what happens when they get to the heritage. US Federal
Communications Commission voted to shift 9 billion over five
years from traditional telephone subsidies to broadband subsidies
in an effort to bring high speed internet services to 5 million
US residents who don't have access. Boom, expand the
network. That's That's what I mean, it's the only profitable
piece I guess. I don't know how HuffPo is doing TechCrunch who
gives a crap which will probably be spun out anyway, I just I
went looking for a reason that pretty soon I said, Well, this
makes total sense. Take the Take Take a piece at 9 billion over
five years, get your money back, expand your network and then
sell people all kinds of stuff.
And you could probably you're right you can probably dump
TechCrunch and the Huff Post for what there was paid for them to
begin with was quite a bit but you can probably do them for a
couple mil or bill me a couple of billion dollars, the way
things are going until the economy collapses, somebody will
buy him. Yeah. Now you may have been on to something I like it.
I can't see why it wouldn't be that because there has to be
better explanation for this. Everybody in the tech writing
community I kind of looked at as oh, these guys are idiots, why
are they doing this? Well, I already had says dumb. They
never look beyond that quick kind of analysis.
To me. It's just numbers being like, what do you acquire
something, particularly as a public company, there's a lot of
reasons to acquire something that has certain type of asset
or if they're profitable, because it's all a creative to
your, to your numbers I call random public companies I know
about some of this certainly about acquisitions at 4.4
billion is really a joke. It's just It's nothing. But if you
take into account that they do probably two to $300 million a
year just on the dial up. You know, there's a value to that
you assign a value to those to those customers. But again, it's
it's like it'll pay for itself. We need people to get that
funding for, you know, really the Verizon is basing their
business, the future of their business on content and an ad
network now, then you then you're idiots.
How many times has that been done?
It makes it doesn't make any sense. That's what that that's
what the tech press was right about? This doesn't make any
sense. So help me
do the math for a second. If you have 20 million dial up
customers paying $20 and 20 million to 2,000,002 and a half
million, we'll just take two 2 billion dial up customers paying
about $20 a month. Right? How much is that a year?
Okay, that's $20 a month would be $240 per customer. 240 times
two would be 480 million.
Right? What would you pay? What multiple would you pay on each
subscriber?
Well, if you play a multiple of 10x, that's your 4 billion right
there. Thank
you. That's it?
Well, it said, especially if you get the money from the
government to convert these, these 2 million to 2 million
broadband users, which has to be another that's got to be worth
probably $100. A head to do maybe with 40 billion if you
when you think we look at it that way. Yeah. I was just
surprised to see this immediate analysis of oh, it's all about
mobile advertising. Mobile Advertising. I'm almost ready to
break my iPhone to people. Why do these websites, no Guardian,
and they add these buttons on about an inch of the bottom of
your screen with so you can share to Facebook and Twitter
and email. I don't need this from you. The screen is already
small. You're taking up this real estate thing. If now we
have the slide over JavaScript, the ads popping up on mobile,
it's useless.
It's useless.
I have not seen a slide over
Java I saw when just yesterday just yesterday flash whatever
they're using to move probably credibly JavaScript
credibly annoying. I bet you won't hear that optional
analysis. I don't think anyway, just seeing if these guys are
known for taking the money and taking the money. They're known
for doing it. And not in a pretty way actually.
Yeah. All right. Very good. We'll close out the segment
trying for lunch, my phone now. You only got phones, a landline
is made out of Bakelite. Here you
go. And then came the news. And then I wanted to clip and so I
went to the best source I could find an old favorite of this
show who went away and we no longer play clip from Keith
Olbermann. On something that we as irked us for a long time.
We begin with an NFL scandal that in some respects is more
cynical, more disturbing and certainly more influential than
deflate gate or Ray Rice or the tragedy of player brain trauma,
the salutes to the troops the flag waving patriotic tributes
by NFL teams at their games to active US military service
personnel. Government Records now reveal many of them,
probably most of them are bought and paid for by the US military
by the Defense Department most by the National Guard. They are
not organic, spontaneous recognitions of personal
sacrifice and valor. They are not a high profile way of saying
thank you. They are not the responses of one sport to the
public mood. They are recruiting stunts paid for with taxpayer
dollars your dollars 5,400,000 of your taxpayer dollars just
since 2011 given just two NFL teams who then waved the flag
for a price and even that startling figure is just the tip
of the iceberg when it comes to prepaid pay criticism in sports,
it turns out there was nearly $50 million of it last year
alone, not 50 million for body armor for the troops, not for
treating the wounded not forgiving a veteran the only
thanks he truly wants a job and a good life. But for prepackaged
pro military stunts at sporting events, using soldiers as props,
we don't even count the cost of the flyovers.
By those things are extremely expensive. This explains, you
know, I don't know why you've
been the guy that been that has been mad about this, and I
totally mad about it, but I never
thought I had and that will give Obermann credit for whoever dug
this up and sent him the information. I'm sure he didn't
do it himself. Yeah, he like he had a producer who did it.
Probably somebody in the Pentagon who likes him and
because shows entertaining. But I'm now irked that we didn't
just dawn on us this whole thing was bought and paid for. I was
under the impression that there was just over overpaid. The
patriotism thing was over over the top, but apparently not. But
I bitched one of the things I picked up I went to University
of California football game and there was not only the same old
marching soldiers and in the salute in the press, you know,
the song and all the rest of it. But then they came out and they
brought out the ROTC class and gave him a word like metals or
something at a football game.
Oh, cool.
Bad to assume that was paid for? Yeah.
Well, fantastic.
Yeah, that's that me fooled.
Gerbils is happy rolling around in his grave Good work. Good.
It's so it's so Deutsche landish of us. No, yeah, it really is
the N word they should they should do a play Valkyries Ride
of the Valkyries before each game and then bringing the
military and some armbands for everybody then we're good
Yeah, well they're gonna get the armbands are coming Man oh man
here's a couple of things you want to let's play this I want
to get this kind of amusing. Here's the democracy now report
there apparently Kim Jong Il had some yeah
this this is another this point I think no agenda producers and
listeners alike are just rolling
I got I got it. I got the whole thing laid out. Here's the
normal kind of normal even though I think this is a bogus
report. I think all these reports are bogus, but this one
is the d n m cases in execution play this so this is this will
be the staging of the next clip.
North Korea is reportedly executed its defense minister
the South Korean intelligence service says Yong Yong Chol was
killed after dozing off at a military event which the regime
saw as an act of disrespect to leader Kim Jong Hoon, Ken is
said to avoid the executions for more than a dozen senior
officials this year for challenging his authority.
Now what I heard is that they they shot him in public with it
with a 50 Cal
Well, that's where we're moving. So we're gonna take this out of
democracies now simple report to the outrageous Gretchen Carlson.
And Monica, whatever her name is the Blondie that used to work
for Nixon. They have an analysis, which not only goes
beyond first, they have the bogus part of the story, which
is what you just said. And then they decide they get time left
is the block is like
it's the C Block but that didn't have enough to fill
it. Yes. So they did get to do a little analysis, by the way. And
let me tell you what happens
on set. There's a floor director, I'm standing next to
the camera and he's he's with both hands. He is pretending
like he's stretching some saltwater taffy. Or they may
even be in the prompter to say Stretch, stretch. Right?
Well, that talk amongst yourselves. I mean, I think what
it was they had the segment that gave the bogus story, and then
they brought Monica Crowley on and she is going to add color.
Mm hmm. And so she decides to go off the deep end with her with
an analysis. And the analysis is so crazy. And then Gretchen
who's I believe is an idiot. She goes Oh, that's fantastic.
That's all now I understand the whole thing. Here we go anytime
a
new report from South Korea's spy agency revealing North
Korean dictator Kim Jong Moon has publicly executed his
defense minister with an anti aircraft gun. Well, it's the man
that you see right here. The alleged treason, sleeping on the
job talking back and complaining about the young leader. Let's
bring in Monica Crowley online opinion editor often times and a
Fox News contributor. So I guess if you fall asleep in a meeting
after serving your country for decades and decades they offer
well this is how communist dictatorships behave, operate by
intimidation, fear and terror. This is not the first time Kim
Jong Hoon, or his father or his grandfather has publicly
executed somebody who they thought was being insubordinate
to the regime were talking back or falling asleep allegedly in a
meeting, this is how tyrannies behave. Not a surprise. All
right, I
want to show our viewers a satellite image. This is of the
execution site in North Korea. This comes from a human rights
group. So apparently, Monica they're able to capture to say
that this is where the public execution was when the anti
aircraft shots came in.
Yeah, now usually when you see something like this from North
Korea, and we have very little intelligence and very little
information about this regime, it's called the hermit kingdom
for for a reason. It's the most reclusive regime on the face of
the earth. But if these reports are true, it indicates a couple
of things to me. First of all, there could be some political
chaos, maybe upheaval within the regime, and he is really trying
to consolidate power, send a shot across the bow to anybody
who might be thinking about challenging him for power. The
other thing too, is that most of the global news, Gretchen has
been concentrated on the Iranian nuclear talks, and on Russia,
and Vladimir Putin's aggressiveness in Crimea and
Ukraine and elsewhere. Jealous that he is not the center of
global attention. Also, remember about a week ago, he did a
missile test. And it got very limited attention in the West.
And so now he's probably saying, hey, look, I'm still here. And
one of the ways he tries to get global attention is by executing
a member of his cabinet.
Unbelievable. Monica Crowley, you have so much fake news. But
thank you so much for that. Allison makes
nothing but sense.
Unbelievable. She says. Unbelievable. It's
great. Yeah, fans unbelievable would Fantastic. Thank you.
Two idiots. Jesus rambling I'm making stuff up as they go
along, man like, oh, and when none of it makes any sense, by
the
way, then they have a satellite picture of the strike zone.
They have a big satellite fisheries showing, by the way it
shows nothing. shows you some life, blood or anything. No, it
was like it was so high up that it was like it just it was like
it was bull crap. But just so here it is. Here's what
happened. You don't know that.
But like his, like his other the what is the other guy if he fed
to the dogs, which turned out to be not true. And then
there was a guy was also killed by flame thrower. Lovely. Yeah,
the dogs one was good, too. Yeah.
I wanted to move to the air, the USA Freedom Act, which is
another one of these interesting pieces of legislation we've been
following. And I want to remind everybody that when it comes to
Section 215, of the National Defense Authorization Act, that
when did Snowden come out? When Snowden came out with the with
his revelations? What year was that? Two years, it's two years
ago. So that would be 220 13. Let's
take a look and get that get this correct. And the only
reason
I say this is just so you know, you're no agenda show on May
28 2011. Registered section two fifteen.org. That's how long
we've been tracking this. Now, I haven't kept the kept that up to
date, because we got kind of tired of it after a while. But
the bulk data collection from section 215. We were talking
about four years ago.
June. Yeah, that's probably true. June 2013 is when they
nailed the Snowden.
So here we have me see where do I put all of this?
By the way, if you search for Ed Snowden, people also search for
Julian Assange, Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras, Chelsea Manning
and no agenda show. Anna Chapman. Oh, yeah. So it's funny
that the some blonde or some redhead bombshell years what was
it has it what its connection? So I would
like to explain then. Yeah. And I think people appreciate this
deconstruction, of why this the USA Freedom acts, which stops
the government collection of mass collection bulk data is a
total setup for even more spying. Everybody, but oh, this
is great. Yeah, we're gonna do away with this. No. And I have
copies, of course of the of the USA Freedom Act, which passed
the house, then I think the Senate is voting on it tomorrow.
I don't know. Yeah, I think so. So pass the House. And let me
explain why this is only going to create more covert the
trolling of of everybody's data. So the act and we discussed this
when the first one that we saw the first draft, the Act takes
the collection, no more collection by the government.
However, the telecommunications companies will now save all of
this data, the end alright, and it will save it for an X amount
of time then there will be access will be granted. Now.
Here's the thing that that I find that what I think is
basically they've set up a backdoor to everything. We have
the cyber sharing agreement, which indemnifies Any company
from sharing their information with the government. And we have
companies now what was that a fire I who are have already been
pre approved, it can already middlemen, middlemen can go both
all through them. So you can't even you can't even blame these
companies. To me, it seems this is perfect. This is beautiful.
Do Oh, no, we can't do bulk collection. But in the meantime,
these companies have complete free range to hand over all that
data to the government. So it's like covering up the obvious.
Yeah, we talked about in this last show. It's classic. It's
totally classic. Yeah, not only that, but I think that was
genius for the setup, this little FireEye operation. And
they did
all this in the right sequence. So we've already forgotten about
the cyber security Sharing Act. We've already gotten past that.
No one really complained about the indemnification because why
would we you know, same for vaccine companies who gives a
shit. If you die, you can't sue anybody. So what
the problem was even though it indemnification means there's
that Oh, they've indemnified. Okay. Does that mean they get
does that mean? Is that free lunch? Or what does that mean?
So everyone's jumping up and down saying, Oh, this is so
fantastic. No, it's not. It just made it worse. Completely.
untrackable. The I don't even think there's reporting
requirements. But although companies will now be out a
Google is all in on this, by the way, big blog post. Thank you so
much for passing this. We love this idea. Yeah, I bet you do. I
bet you do. And along with this comes a report then it's about
cyber, but it's also about Iran. And it comes from one of our one
of our favorite guys. This time from Frederick Kagan, not Robert
Kagan. Of and he works for the what does the AI that's
what the American American Enterprise Institute
Yes. And together with a guy named Tommy Stephenson, who all
we'll find out who he is in a moment, created a report titled
The growing cyber threat from Iran initial report of project
pistachio harvest.
They're running out of ideas for codenames pistachio harvest,
and collecting little nuts. They have to open by hand.
Wait until you hear who was involved in this BBC interview.
A lot of BBC today, because you're right. I was watching way
too much. MSNBC. BBC does a big report on cyber warfare. I think
the title was, is cyber warfare really that scary? They have a
couple of people on and I pulled out the Kagan quotes from
Frederick Kagan himself. You know, I
was one of the people who advocated the surge in Iraq
early on and good weren't familiar with much nastier
attacks and criticisms than I've received on this report.
This is Frederick Kagan, director of the critical threats
project at the American Enterprise Institute, an
influential conservative think tank in the US the think tank
that produced that divisive report,
our report looked at Iranian activities in cyberspace. And
what we saw is that the Iranians are developing a significant
stockpile, basically, of cyber infrastructure that they can use
to attack Western infrastructure
to find out what the Iranians were up to. They looked at data
gathered by North intelligent network
during remember the Norse intelligence network, John, I'm
afraid I don't the CTO is Tommy Stephenson. Um, so he works with
this the Norse NRS II, cybersecurity firm worked
directly with AI and Kagan on this he's the guy from the IP
Viking IP Viking live that fantastic map with all the big
all the cyber attacks occurring in real time right that phony
baloney map Yes, these are the guys it's map.ip viking.com and
it has all the attacks and where they're coming from and pew pew
pew pew pew pew in fact, I'm looking right now with number
one China number two US military gov by the way, I don't see any
Iran in their in their mapping, but apparently the number one
cyber threat to this otherwise beautifully executed, very scary
looking map where all the attacks are coming from other
countries to the US shooting
at each other.
It's fantastic. So this is the co founder just
pounding Seattle right
security company, which has several million sensors around
the world,
these sensors, the million sensors. These sensors
are designed to look like websites for banks, power plants
or universities, their honeypot polio A would be hacker,
we discovered a number of rather stealthy attempts by
snipers. Rather stealthy.
What the hell does that mean? Doesn't mean anything but
some systems based in Iran to identify vulnerabilities in
western systems that would have allowed the Iranians to take
full control over those systems, if they had been actual systems
and if the attacks had been successful.
This is where the controversy begins promising. Our first
expert witness, Robert Lee says that to call this kind of cyber
activity and attack is misleading. I'll say BBC
had a very balanced piece within an expert who said this is all
bullcrap. But we play that role. We didn't need him for it.
Instead, he describes it as scanning. Someone looking for
access to website CT scanning. Yeah, well, some scanning has
malicious intent. It's not in itself an attack, he says. It's
like a burglar scoping the outside of your house looking
for a way in? He hasn't stolen anything yet?
Well, the main body of the criticism actually misrepresents
our report. We don't anywhere say that there were 1000s of
attacks on industrial control systems, for example, we
identify 65 attacks on an industrial control system,
do you stand by the use of the word attack to describe those 65
activities that you just mentioned?
I absolutely do. We use the term in accord with standard industry
definitions that include collection of information and
not just damaging systems. And that's part of the standard NSA
definition for attack.
I love that I'm collecting information on port availability
is defined as a cyber attack. By NSA.
I didn't know that. Can you go to that map for a second? Yeah,
hold on. I want to ask you a couple things.
Okay. It's very heavy on resources.
Okay, it's alright. See how that can be. But it's, I guess it is.
But just go there for a minute. You got a hook.
Coming up now. mapped out IP viking.com for some reason. Is
it coming out? Yeah. Yes. All right.
Got it. Okay. At the very bottom, there's some in the
middle of the ocean of near the Antarctica, there's a spot
that's just got tons of activity. What is that? Ship?
I see what you're talking about. It has a little like an
octagonal. Yeah. icon. I don't know. Yeah. Is it clickable?
Oh, good question. Never thought of that. Expect it to be
clinical. Oh, yeah. It is. And what is when you when you put
in, you put the cursor on it shows you its main targets.
Right. But what what is it? Who are they click it doesn't do
shit. I don't know. It's usually another one goes straight up
from that. And there's a thing outside other than admitted like
kind of in the Atlantic Ocean off the African coast? Yeah,
I see. Yeah, I see that too. What is that? Pirate Ship.
Ahoy, matey.
Maybe the mapping API is off? That's a good question. I don't
know what those are.
And now here's another last question. Yes. You see China and
the Korean peninsula. Yes. What's good? There's nothing
going on in China. Are you kidding me? They have one with
one blip up there. Yeah, there's one blip and it's not doing
anything. And of course the
immediately as chat room will say is Well, you know, they can
mask IP addresses.
Right this and there's nothing in Alaska either. This thing is
both
a beautiful setup. They all the money is right here in the in
the honey pots. This map is what does it mean?
And yeah, here's the money. Here's the money thing on the
right, it's as to attack targets number one in the world number
578. As we speak, United States. The second attack target is the
mil.mil.gov. United States. And then as we go from 600, do you
have a total of 800 attacks going on against us right now?
And then Russia has 28 attacks against it. China's got
apparently none. This is just a thing that set up to get money.
All these bulk rappers that, you know, let's say we got to do
cyber billions of dollars need to be spent.
Here's the pitch that Kagan provides why we need to, I guess
engage in Viking Norse. The company that wrote this report
with them put screenshots of that attack map in the report.
And this is all related to Iraq. Patrick
Kagan says people need to wake up to the threat. Look,
I've spent this discussion trying not to overhype the cyber
threat, but the reality is that a very skilled and then
determined attacker who spends a lot of time preparing for an
attack can do an enormous amount of damage to our critical
infrastructure and cause a lot of people to die and do a
phenomenal amount of economic damage.
That causes a lot of people to die. Who has died from a cyber
attack so far, it would cause a lot of people to die. Please
make it very difficult to recover
all those scenarios of a cyber Pearl Harbor plausible?
Could we have a massive cyber attack that did a huge amount of
damage? And was a surprise? Yes, absolutely. We could.
Governments might not plan this kind of attack from a standing
start. He says, rather, it could come about through rival states,
testing each other's boundaries, and slipping into cyber war.
The scenarios that keep me up at night are scenarios of
miscalculation. There's always this probing around perceived
red lines. And there's always a question of what do we think we
can get away with? And in the context of a world that has
become incredibly violent, and the risk of miscalculation is
high?
You gotta get your calculus in order, I guess. So we don't do
it. Mike. Why take the risk? Let's just get some security,
buy some stuff. Why take a risk lie? Take a chance, take a
chance.
Precisely.
There was a way you were reading, you're playing that
clip, there was a massive cyber attack that took place last
year. I mean, it was so much red, it almost covered the
complete screen all aimed at Seattle. Ah, then it is it's
dropped off.
Well, good work always good to know the Kagan's are on the
case. Setting up the
doors money to be made as government money to be had as
simple as writing a check. We need to get in on this deal.
Where we
could have known we were on this North deal a long time ago,
which is dumb. Now me Well, I'm not there. We're lazy. We're
just
we're actually not dumb. But he does apply because after the
show I'm done. We're not lazy that we just don't. I don't know
what it is why we I think we just can't I don't think we need
to get on the scam bandwagon right yet. And I think that's
what it amounts. Right.
Well, time for podcast to embrace capitalism, John.
Yeah. Well, it would be living the life for Riley getting on
this bandwagon. You know, kill this thing. Boom. Yeah. Right.
What is this Kim and wrote in follow up? Clip I put here I
don't know. That's
Kim Jong Il, I'm sure. I'm sure. I don't know. Is it you want to
go back to that?
I don't want to just play it.
Contractor whose case ignited a controversy over the Obama
administration's targeting of journalists has been freed after
Stephen Kim was convicted of leaking documents on North Korea
to Fox News. Ken was charged under the Espionage Act and
nearly a century old law which was also used to classify Fox
News reporter James Rosen a co conspirator in the case. Ken has
always maintained his innocence.
Right. The President had a very interesting he was on a panel,
which was the poverty panel if that wasn't the exact title, but
that was the topic was poverty. And the I can see our president
as he's on his way out, he has really been making his mark and
I believe the the racism that is definitely being hyped by the
entire administration and followed on nicely by the media
is a big part of what he wants to leave as his legacy. Like I
helped black Americans in addition, you know, I killed
Osama bin Laden obviously. What else will be in there? Oh, just
let's bitch about Fox News while we're at it. Did you see this
this panel that he was on?
Yeah, I have a clip.
I have. Blimey I have four clips short ones.
Okay, well once you play you got more clips playing
Okay. Well, I'll start with the Fox News Why was funny. The fox
is funny but no, I actually don't think is funny. Doesn't
have better things to do.
I think the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges
leeches are don't want to work
that has is he confusing? Atlas Shrugged with Fox News. I don't
think I've ever seen anyone anywhere on American news. So
called news programs ever say the poor are leeches and sponges
that's directly from
sources very old. The phraseology that my Dad Yeah,
World War Two vet would have said sponges. Buddy says but
even your
dad does he talk about the poor
that way? No, he would talk about this frenzy is that we're
sponges, right? But
apparently Fox news these days. calls a poor people, sponges and
leeches, according to the President of United States,
he did I don't I've never heard that. We'd have a clip of it, we
wouldn't
force him to be funny or
don't want
to work, or lazy. Or undeserving got traction. And look, it's
still being propagated.
Where does it get traction? I'm not seeing
I mean, I have to say that, you know, if you watch Fox News, on
a regular basis, it is a constant menu, they will find,
like, folks who make me man, I haven't know where they find
them, right. I don't want to work. I just want a free Obama
phone or whatever. And that becomes an entire narrative.
Right? That get wrapped up, right. And you very rarely do
hear an interview of a waitress, which is much more typical,
who's raising a couple of kids and is doing everything right,
but still can't pay the bills?
Actually, I see a lot of that everywhere. That's the one thing
I do see.
And so if we're going to change how John Boehner and Mitch
McConnell think we're gonna have to change how our body politic
thinks, which means we're gonna have to change how the media
reports on these issues.
Okay. So I thought that that was funny that he saw the Obama
phone thing that was okay. That's funny. But then he goes
into here, there's people don't like
being poor. It's hard being poor people. People don't like being
poor. And it's, it's time consuming is stressful. It is.
It's hard. And so it's
hard being poor, Hello, Captain Obvious over time,
families, frayed men who could not get jobs left, mothers who
are single are not able to read as much to their kids. So all
that was happening 40 years ago to African Americans. And now
what we're seeing is that those same trends have accelerated and
they're spreading to the broader community.
Man, his messaging here is, it was just black people. Now it's
everybody. Yeah, that's called Private.
What kind of thinking is going on in his head? Well, this is
not when I became president, it was just black people. Now it's
everybody would work.
And put that on your library. All right. That's it? How do we
talk about rich people, then this would be interesting 25
hedge fund managers made more than all the kindergarten
teachers in the country. So I'm not when I say that, I'm not
saying that because I dislike hedge fund managers, or I think
they're evil. I'm saying that you're paying a lower rate than
a lot of folks who are making $300,000 a year, you, you pretty
much have more than you'll ever be able to use and your family
will ever be able to use. There's a fairness issue
involved here. And by the way, if we were able to close that
loophole, I can now invest in early childhood education that
will make a difference. That's where the rubber hits the road.
To wealth tax, where the question
of compassion, I'm My Brother's Keeper comes into play. And if
we can't ask from society's lottery winners,
this was interesting societies lottery winners.
Now I might understand a lottery. I love my take on this.
First of all, a hedge fund manager is not a lottery winner,
he works hard. And he has to learn a skill, even though it's
a skill that I'm sure a lot of people can learn, but it doesn't
just fall into the money. A lottery winner is a guy who
invest a couple $1,000 into a startup and the next thing you
know, he's a billionaire or whatever, or 100 millionaire,
like overnight when he didn't read that's a lottery winner.
And there's plenty of them. But to call the hedge fund guys a
lottery winner, I think, I mean, they make a lot of money, or
they're their lottery winner because they got into that
business by accident, perhaps this bull crap lottery winner.
Well, he brings it up again, in his discussion. This is about
making this a fairness issue. So I guess you have to distribute
it which is where you get the wealth tax from which we don't
need to go into that again. We're very controversial by the
way your your
viewpoints on that.
But he brings it up again here in talking about how money with
the lottery winners that has really ripped apart our society.
We don't dispute that the free market is the greatest producer
of wealth in history. It has lifted billions of people out
out of poverty, we believe in property rights rule of law, so
forth. But there has always been trends in the market in which
concentrations of wealth can lead to some being left behind.
And what's happened in our economy is that those who are
doing better and better, more skilled, more educated, luckier,
having greater advantage and luckier are withdrawing from
sort of the commons. Kids start going to private schools. Kids
start working at private clubs instead of the public parks, an
anti government ideology, then disinvest from those common
goods and those things that draw us together. And that in part
contributes to the fact that there's less opportunity for our
kids, all of our kids
it's it's really like he's, like he read Atlas Shrugged and just
want to me all of this comes directly from that.
Maybe read Atlas Shrugged. And
it's, it's in an interesting way. Education Secretary Arne
Duncan, has a thought of what to do with these kids that we can't
send to early education, then who are clearly because
apparently, the only today's rich people are have private
clubs. Okay? No, I don't think that's true. Poverty today is
very different than than poverty in the past because we have no
Kardashians, but at least you're entertained while you're eating
wood chips.
That's kind of a private club, very private club.
This is Arne Duncan, about what he believes the federal
government in the United States should do with poor children.
I think all of our schools should be community centers, our
schools should be open 12 1314 hours a day, with a wide variety
of after school programming. On thankfully, in the vast, vast
majority of communities around the nation, our schools are
actually safe havens, very little violence happening in
schools, it's really happening. The vast majority is on on the
streets. If we could keep our kids there longer. We think that
makes a lot of sense. Keep the kids a little longer, more
vocational programs, more chances for folks to figure out
what they're learning in school. How's that relevant to where
they go the rest of their lives? Now when I flew out did one sort
of road tested with the kids too? I thought, this idea of
public boarding schools and that's a little bit of a
different idea or controversy idea. But the question is do we
have some children where there's not a mom, there's not a dad,
there's not a grandma, there's there's nobody home? And there's
certain kids we should have 24/7 to really create a safe
environment and give them a chance.
There Shula put them in Shula, here's
you here is little slip at the beginning, at the very
beginning.
Yeah, it was. I guess not. I think
it is. You can listen for it. after school programming. Oh, my
goodness. I think
school should be community centers. Our schools should be
able to 12 1314 hours a day with a wide variety of after school
programming.
Nailed it. Nailed it. Good catch.
When he means it, by the way, it's not a slip.
That was not he didn't stumble. He went right into it after
school. That grant that is a very low Bay,
you will obey and come to the Shuler, the kindergarten, the
pre kindergarten we grow to children into Schuler 24/7. And
I like to we should have those kids 24/7 Wow, what is
happening, people what is going on?
is really bad. And that guy who
isn't? Yeah. Did you see the new TV show? Blackish?
Yeah, well, I've seen it. Yeah, I saw when it first came out.
I'm surprised you didn't didn't pull a clip from it.
I you know, I've thought about it. It's a comedy. And it has
all kinds of screwball memes. And it's about it's I kind of
fascinated by this show, but I find it less and less
entertaining is kind of, it's almost like it's a racist show.
It's all blacks. Yes. And I was only someone sent me one episode
to look at. And this is I don't know if this might be the first
one. I have no idea. Which episode this is where it's an
all black family. It's kind of like a modern Huxtables I would
say where except the mom is really funnier, funnier, and the
mom is really smart. She's the doctor in this one. Then there's
three kids and the son who's I guess the middle kid. has four
kids. So there's only one boy and he in the morning claims
that he's a republican and the reason why he's a Republican
because it's really hot chick who's in the Young Republicans,
and he's, he's all in on Republican. Just he's
Republican. And this is how the this episode starts, although we
have a problem,
Jr. is a Republican.
Well, that's okay. So he wants to shop at Banana Republic, they
have a crazy generous return policy.
You're not getting it. All right. He's a Republican, a
notary
public is a noble profession. We'll save us tons of time bow.
Oh, Republican. A member of the Irish Republican Army. Okay, so
if you got to take down a couple of fish and chip shots to be
free of British rule. Great. You got to do what you got to do.
No. Ronald Reagan, it's so hard for anyone to believe that the
blockade is becoming a Republican that they have to go
through this. Oh, what do you mean? Ann Coulter? Fox News, Tea
Party? Republican,
Republican? Yes.
No. Yes. Yes. Yes, we don't do that. We are compassionate
liberals who believe in tolerance, acceptance open,
or whatever. But we're black. All right. That's all it
matters.
When did he start believing that immigrants should go back across
the border that evolution doesn't exist?
And hate women thrown out? And I love guns and all this stuff,
that it's a comedy show.
And I don't know, I know that a little bit there. You don't know
how much of that is satire. And how much of that is propaganda.
But it does address the issue, which is, you know, all black
should be Democrats because they were propagandized into that
some years ago
and all and during the the course of the White House
Correspondents Dinner. The President specifically called
out some of the actors from Blackish. Who were there.
Oh, I Well, as you know, I've stupidly missed that.
So and so I can play you a clip from the the was it the Lear
foundation? Marty Copland?
Oh, yes. The course of our work. This is
in the last two years 11 to 13 335 storylines that we worked
on, have been aired. We've worked with 35 networks in the
past four years. 91 different television shows.
Well, ad 92.
And that would also do wait, but I still say the way that was
written was so over the top, that it may have been a satire,
and maybe they gave it the other word. Yeah, we got to do this.
It's the only
Of course you can get away with it. It was really mean. But it's
still being said.
Yeah. It's smart ever caught. They say I haven't stopped
watching the show. But I suspect it would be something like that.
And that show and
no coincidence are totally understandable. CSI Cyber has
been renewed for the second season.
Dummies show ever. No, I take it back. That other show that you
liked.
The bombshell was a call that one? Yes. But I will I will
remind everybody that there are new rules. Since 2013. We have
been under new rules with the National Defense Authorization
Act where the Smith Mundt Act was repealed meaning the United
States government is now completely legally able to
propagandize its own citizens. And this seems like exactly what
is going on here. And yeah, and it's just it's all happening at
the same time, everything. So coincidental. It all just kind
of comes around neatly, a nice little bundle.
Well, the Republican National Committee should be separate
that rinse, rinse and repeat previous guy. He is such a loser
that I don't say they just let this stuff happen. I mean, that
clip alone that you play, and you play it a lot, and I think
should be played a lot of the guy from the Lear foundation.
Overtly throwing making TV shows do propaganda. I don't know what
it is for pay. I bet it is, but there's money involved. And the
reason I suggest that is because it's apparent that NCIS the most
popular show on television, and NCIS la have competing agendas
insofar as their messaging is concerned. The NCIS show has pro
government, Joe anti-terrorist just sounds like it came
straight out of this. It's a guy like to show anyway because if
The characterizations are great. But it's all pro government
propaganda. And the NCIS la seems to be anti government
propaganda. It's got all kinds of like negative twist where
they you know, it's just it's so apparent If anyone wishes, the
two shows that there's one of the shows, I believe, after
listening to that lyric clip, again, is getting paid to put
this stuff in and they'd be glad to do and the other shows not
and they're irked about it and so that's why they go in the
other direction.
But the nice thing about it is the American public loves it.
And worldwide public loves it. They just love it. They eat it
now, did you see the it's not worth playing? Because the audio
doesn't do anything so poorly done trailer? I think Minority
Report the TV series, did you see this? No, I did not. Okay,
so minority report was based on pre crime. And it was it was
time in the movie. Yeah, Tom Cruise. They had this way to see
that a crime was going to happen so someone was just thinking
about it and you'd have to go and you get arrested because you
were committing a pre crime in the way I understand the
television show from the trailer, there are two people
who received all of the pre crime scenery this was all
programmed in their head and they know they now have to go
out to protect the people who are about to be murdered. It's
like completely flipping it around in a very safe range
the yes premise of the story which is absolute I think is one
of the most famous science fiction guy I can't remember his
name offhand but in the chat room knows great writer great
storyteller so they say let's do it this way. Yeah. It's gonna be
a fail that a story is delicate you can't really it's gonna
be a fail because I don't think the lead girl is hot objects
needs to be hotter that's that's come on I know television I know
this works John this is that's they have bad casting poorly
cast poorly cast.
Who let's see well, if that
man before we move in those you seem to have stalled out here.
Let's play well, I'm
number things just didn't quite know where to go. So I'll let
you
but let's play this talk about the the stupid location for the
Obama Library, Obama South Side clip. With a library
and a foundation on the Southside of Chicago, not only
will we be able to encourage and affect change locally, but what
we can also do is to attract a world to Chicago.
Southside Chicago, I don't know if you've ever been there. I
have been there recently. I've been there. And it's craphole
it's a shithole. It's going to this library is going to be the
only one in the country with graffiti all over it. So that I
just thought that was the dumbest thing and says some dude
helping Rahm Emanuel in a because he had his other
choices. Hawaii is the place to put it. They don't have it and
don't never have opportunity. Right, right. Okay, I got
another one. So I'm watching a kids show. And I'm thinking, Oh,
somehow Adams gotten us to some free publicity out of me. Yeah.
And I'm thinking that I wanted to congratulate you. Because
this show is the first thing that came to mind when I saw
this little show that and look at play apple and the and you
have to tolerate it. It goes 40 seconds but Apple in the and
we begin with the letter A. A. A is for the end found in Apple.
Apple starts with oh, what is this going to do now? It's
jumping on the tree. Stop where the apple will fall? Oh, no, the
apple is falling. Ah, somebody's got the apple. Who has the apple
now? Hey, look. That's Adam. Adam has the apple now.
You're right. That was genius. How did you get that in there?
You're right. And since I saw that, I said that no agenda came
right to mind.
You're right. I'll say that. You're right. 40 seconds of my
life.
Hey, man. I'm gonna show to no agenda. Imagine all the people
who could do oh yeah, that'd be fun
Well, we do have some people to thank for show. What is this?
720 21 721721 including Cole Calista in North Attleboro,
Massachusetts. He wants some jobs. of jobs karma, we'll put
that out to you again because 12345 and also from Dame
Elizabeth Bora Zan who gave me a check for 12345 at the twit
cottage.
Oh nice.
Got to say hi to that when
you took the show off the rails.
Yeah, well, I always take the shoe off the railroad work I
must be banned. And so she she left me a note which I
conveniently lost but she wanted and I think since she's a dame
and she did this in person, she wanted some some general karma
for some specific thing. All right.
You've got karma.
Ready kilowatt, aka John Grom. Ling it from battlement Mesa,
Colorado. Nice name for a town 7373.

I got an email from Annie.
Annie, get your gun.
Hi, Adam. And John. No agenda has inspired me in the classroom
for my final week of student teaching. I collaborated with my
mentor teacher to do a mini unit called breaking the media mind
control. Wait a minute, we should have that differently.
Breaking the media mind control we're going to have, we're going
to have students compare the words and phrases being used
surrounding the Baltimore riots from different sources. They
will look at the words used during other riots in the US and
compare how people are being categorized nice. The end result
will be deciding if using the word thug is intentionally used
to dehumanize these people and diminish the importance of their
poverty. Thank you, Annie. This is this is this makes me very
happy, particularly on a day where donations are still low. I
like this. This is this shows that we're making a difference
for the young people, John?
Well, it's for some for some young people. And I think it's
great that some teachers have picked up on this, because it's
more entertaining the kids, I believe if I was a kid, and I
had a teacher that was going to have me do this sort of
analysis. Yeah. And I could find little things and talk about oh,
look at they use this term. So that were the the what's his
name? Sonny farms guy who said the head of the Department of
Education, Arne Duncan. Yes, any farms key and when he says
programming, exactly after school programming, right? I
mean, come on. Jim, and I would love this stuff they love to do
kids love to
discover but I would
encourage your kids in this mini unit to use search not any
shownotes.com Every single article we've ever had in the
shownotes and most a lot of them discussed but certainly not all
all have offline copies stored in searchable format through
searched out any show notes like years of it years of not all
because we didn't really start with a good system till a couple
years into the show. But it's a good reason I got something with
Rackspace happened and I got a an email with an innocuous
emails like there's a ticket for that three servers at Rackspace.
I've no idea what's going on. So by getting to bed, I'm tired.
I've been doing prep I've been listening to douchebags. It's
what is 130 and I see a tweet saying oh man I searched out any
show notes is down then the server had stopped responding or
whatever. So up until two in the morning I'm restarting this
getting it all set up again because people really use it.
It's a valuable resource. All a part of the no agenda show

our pie donations with the the shocked?
Yeah, I'll do that. Yeah, I'll put it in the news last week,
but I'm gonna be the next the next and not necessary
newsletter.
I'd like to I'd like to get it rolling properly. I think it's
Yeah, good idea.
We had to suggest we thought out in some meaningful way but it'd
be another pie.
And here is the jobs karma that is often requested.
Jobs, jobs and jobs. That's
karma. Okay, by believe we prudence to talk about the TPP.
Since it has being so mischaracterized in the press,
where I've even seen articles saying, the house, we're going
to the going to pass, which I didn't, but they're going to
pass it the TPP. And your girlfriend,
you know who she is. Here's your girlfriend, Barbara Boxer.
She stood up in Congress, and they said, crazy things about
this TPP
that let me just send straight. Barbara Boxer said crazy things.
Right that I preface
it by saying she's your girlfriend.
Yeah. Thanks for that. You're welcome. And I appreciate it.
And of course,
Elizabeth Warren, is now in a public feud with the President
about the and it's not the TPP that is being voted on as the
Trade Promotion Authority, which and I read the document as 133
pages. It's kind of a guideline to set out what will be
negotiated from the United States side, I didn't really see
anything nefarious in it other than obviously, as part of the
New World Order Program, a DA. But all this yelling and
screaming and, and Barbara Boxer even says blatantly untrue
things. But apparently she went to a TPP meeting, she wasn't
allowed to take notes. And well, here's what she was talking
about. Well, let
me tell you, let me tell
you
what you have to do to read this agreement.
She's talking about the TPP, which is being negotiated in
secret, not the TPA, which is what is being voted on follow
this. You can only take a few of your staffers who happen to have
a security clearance because God knows why this is secure. This
is classified is nothing to do with defense. It has nothing to
do with going after ISIS. It has nothing to do with any of that.
But it is classified. So I go down with my staff that I could
get to go with me.
Here's the scary thing. This woman has classified clearance.
That was frightening.
And as soon as I get there, the guard says to me hand over your
electronics. Okay, I gave over my electronics, then the guard
says you can't take notes. I said I can't take notes. Well,
you can take notes, but you have to give them back to me, and
I'll put them in a file. So I said, Wait a minute, I'm gonna
take notes. And then you're gonna take my notes away from
me. And then you're gonna have them in a file and you can read
my notes, Not on your life. So instead of standing in a corner,
trying to figure out how to bring a trade bill to the floor,
that doesn't do anything. For the middle class that is held so
secretively that you need to go down there and hand over your
electronics, and give up your right to take notes and bring
them back to your office, they ought to come over here and
figure out how to help the middle class, how to extend the
highway bill, how to raise the minimum wage, how to move toward
clean energy, how to fix our currency manipulation that we
see abroad.
Alright. So I think she's confused. I didn't think she
knows what she's talking about. The Trade Promotion Authority
has been commonplace in the United States government since I
think 772 or 74. It is not an abnormal thing. For some reason,
everybody's got their their panties in a bunch about this.
And by the way, the TPA specifically states that
negotiations from the US side will be about currency
manipulation, so she hasn't even read the fucking bill to get to
get this woman out. Why is everyone all freaked out about
this, John? And then I saw what's his name? The union guy
not Ditka MC
was Well, that's one of the things that union guy in there
they believe that this The enactment, there's two problems.
One is they're going to give a fast track ability to Obama.
That's what he wants. He can just take care of this without a
bunch of fuss. So I just
want to stop you there. I read this thing, and it addresses all
concerns. EPS clearly states what the United States position
will be in the negotiations. Okay. It's not just oh, you can
have do whatever you want. And there's an up and down vote.
Now. She's talking about that she can't read. You can't take
notes. I believe she's talking about Stein. I think she's
actually she's talking about the specific. The actual deal, the
real TPP.
Yeah, that's what she's talking about. Nobody seems to be able
to look at this. I think they're, I think it's just a
secrecy thing. I think they're fed up. Because it makes total
sense. No wonder wraps.
It makes sense to me, because you'll never get anything done.
If if everything is in public. It'll just go on for 10 years.
Will it just it's somehow it's bothersome. You're like a
senator, let's say you are and you can't do anything. Yeah,
this thing is going on, it's super secret. You want it you
want it to go on for 10 years. I mean, one of the reasons that we
have the government set up the way it is, is so to really make
it difficult to get things done. Because we need to start doing
stuff willy nilly. It never works out. It's always crap.
It's because you Oh, and then you got to do more stuff to fix
what you've screwed up to begin with. And that's the way the
system works. The system is like, that's when people say,
Oh, these government workers, they don't do any work. I'm
always of the opinion. In fact, when I was a government worker,
myself, I I promoted this idea is you don't want them working.
This kind of a fellow welfare. Yeah, you just work. You know,
you go shopping, let them go shopping, because if they're
working, they're causing trouble. And I think that's the
case with this. And the normal situation would be exactly what
you said it would never get done. Maybe it shouldn't get
done. Maybe that's the point.
No, okay.
I mean, it's just I know, it's an off the wall theory.
Well, I'm again, I'm all in I want, I love it, because we need
to get to this point much faster. I want to witness the
New World Order and the collapse and the fight and the road.
Works out properly, you're not going to manage it, because it's
never going to happen because of these guys, like you just said,
I think you've maybe hit the nail on the head. If everybody
was in on this, it would never move along. It would just be so
you, you know, because right now, they just passed this
thing. We did this trade deal. That's why the Democrats turned
on the president. And then Elizabeth Warren being one of
the leaders,
and she has to apologize or that she has to go to apologize to
the President.
Well, the President insulted her as kind of, and they had to
address this in the press conference with your buddy Jason
Hughes. Yeah. Josh. What's his name again? Josh? Earnest. Yeah,
Jason eaves. President insults. Warren, as you see there's a
mountain out of a molehill.
On the trade question. The specific the substance of what
Senator Brown said. He said the President had been disrespectful
when he suggested that Senator Warren was just another
politician for that part of it was the president was the
President's response to the allegation that he was being
disrespectful.
I believe that that specific reference, I should have brought
the text in front of me, but I think that the President in the
interview was asked directly about Senator Warren and the
President noted that Senator Warren holds elective office as
the President does. The President included him
politician I think was though Yeah, yeah. politician, like I
said to the president, like, Well, I think he said, like the
rest of us. Yeah. Right. And I think that's an indication that
the point the President's making is that she's making a political
argument, the President's making a political argument to, and we
can have a robust difference of opinion and a robust debate. And
the point is, though, that this doesn't reflect a difference in
values.
I believe this will ultimately lead to a splintering of the
Democratic Party if it continues, where Elizabeth
Warren has only said she wasn't she can always decide to run for
president. And maybe that's why this trade deal, which since
because we don't know what's in it, we don't know what's in it.
Yeah, there's leak stuff. Fine. But until we see it, it doesn't
exist. It may be that's why there's a the Democrats have
voted against the president, not so much to be against the
president but to have a secret weapon to get the defiant child
Pocahontas, Elizabeth Warren into the fold as the savior of
America, the savior of the unions who are huge in
supporting democratic campaigns, certainly presidential
elections. I'm not saying that I'm convinced but it could be a
way to do it.
Well, there's got to be something done it because
Hillary is people are taking a dislike to her over all this
stuff going on. I didn't get any good Hillary Clinton, I have
a couple of the Hillary 2016 clips not related directly to
this, but the first one would be the No, this is about her
brother, Tony Rodham. Now, the we who first heard from our
Uber, I mean, I discussed it previously. But our Uber
sources, reiterated that Hillary Clinton's brother received a
company he's working with or consulting with received the
sole license to extract gold from Haiti. And then so now he's
suddenly we pointed out on the show a number two long time ago,
nobody else talks about this.
So here is a CNN panel. And they'll talk about everything
except for the gold in Haiti, of course, and they'll also kind of
say it's okay.
The allegation is that Hillary Clinton's younger brother has
parlayed his relationship with Bill and Hillary Clinton
throughout the years to come up with some sometimes dubious
business deals for himself. Maggie, you just laid it out?
Pretty well. Right. I mean, look, there has been an ongoing
focus on the brothers Rodham, right. Tony and Hugh Rodham
Hillary Clinton's brothers. What was striking about the story
that my colleagues DeVito did is there are these court
transcripts where Tony Rodham openly says I leaned on my
brother in law to get help me. I went through the Clinton
Foundation and he says this, that type of stuff, I think is
very unhelpful that you are going to see an attack mailers,
you're going to see that potentially in ads, it says here
when Mr. Rodham was short on cash in 2010. Mr. Clinton helped
him get a job for $72,000 a year raising investments in green
tech, automotive and electric car company, then owned by Terry
McAuliffe, an old friend of Mr. Clinton's and now the governor
of Virginia, don't we all help our brothers?
I was gonna say, I'm not sure I agree. What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that?
I know that I think people will forgive helping. So we're not a
problem.
I mean, he's not a politician. Right. Bill Clinton was not an
office, it doesn't seem to conflict with her job as
Secretary of State if Bill Clinton helped out the brother
in law. I don't see that as a scandal to me
if there's any issue. I totally agree. I think that people
forgive you help your family, you help your brother. I think
that the more you see things of I, you know, I went to the
foundation for help. No, the Foundation says there's no
evidence that week or anything that he said, but it's just it's
not great. It's a nice how
that works. Just obviously, I've
taken the thing from you know, you're driving on a bumpy road.
And you could go into a ditch, which would be discussing the
goldmine deal, but no, you pull off into the freeway, and you're
home free with it, like, actually a nice story. Oh, he
needed a job and nobody was affected. But somebody gave him
a job. His brother hooked him up and helped him out level up
anybody would do anybody would do that for their, for their
brother, they needed money.
So that's some running interference is what we call
that for the Clintons. Then this other story, which I've been
waiting to figure out what is going on. The story has been
around for a while. And then finally, I figured out where
this is coming from. You've probably heard this somewhere in
the past week before the train derailment and
the group looking to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill
with a woman has now chosen a successor, abolitionist Harriet
Tubman one an online vote, the group now hopes the 600,000
people who voted will help pressure the president to make
the change.
So this group, the women on the $20 bill, and they had a vote,
and then we didn't really discuss much of this. The the
woman who was who set up this foundation, I believe her name
is Barbara or its Howard. She worked for Hillary Clinton
during her previous presidential campaign. So this would be a
great issue that the American people will be able to get
behind because unfortunately, that's how stupid we are. Yeah,
man. That's unfair. We put women on so they want to remove
Jackson, put the put, well, Harriet
Tubman. Yeah. Now,
it's perfect for by the way, if anyone should be on the 20. It
should be Hillary. I mean, she deserves it. Let's put her
observes that. And how does that actually work? As far as I've
been able to find the Bureau of Engraving and Printing decide
what money looks like. And this women on the $20 bill is calling
for the President to to change us, which I guess could be
good. I think he can. Directive Bureau of Engraving to
industry to do that? I think so. But it would be fantastic to
know for Hillary to say, look, when I'm president, I will
change that people will love that.
Well, Hillary is in the news for just that. As a matter of fact
is in Time Magazine two hours ago, Hillary Clinton shows her
support for Harriet Tubman on the 20
Well, there you go. Hey, go
dawn. She's all in and this will get her the bike to the black
vote that she needs. It's perfect combinations.
So Obama,
was Tubman gay by any chance. Was she a lesbian? That would be
perfect.
Maybe he doesn't have that she did have one child Gertie Davis
so it's possible that she wasn't or was I don't know. So Hillary,
this will show you whether Obama is or is not pro Hillary.
Because it could be a nice issue for Hillary if Obama doesn't do
it, right. So he's gonna have to be torn because here's a black
woman who was, you know, what a notorious abolitionist. I would
think all black people were abolitionists during that era,
which seemed like the right way to lead to the noteworthy ones.
I want to be a slave and she was a union spy, supposedly, I, you
know, I was I got my degree in American history at University
of California. And I never heard of Harriet Tubman because I
studied the Civil War to an extreme. I didn't hear about her
until about, I'd say 10 or 15 years ago, when I was watching
some one of those man on the street things that may have been
Jalen, or some say, Who's freed the slaves. And nobody knew you,
could it No, it wasn't it was a functional thing. But Lincoln
generally gets credited. So who flipped for you to save and
nobody said Lincoln, they said all kinds of things in this one
black girl sit said Harriet Tubman freed the slaves. And
then I saw that I also started seeing that meme floating
around, it was last showing up Harriet Tubman and that she
freed the slaves. And now she's gotten herself.
Well, we can't we can't have anyone knowing that a Republican
freed the slaves.
Well, that's Lincoln, when Harriet Tubman and as so now, if
Obama wants to play politics and and say, okay, Hillary, I you
should win, even though he should be supporting his vice
president. He won't do this and he'll be out of office and
Hillary can use it as her platform. I think she's gonna do
I think we should have just to go with the whole meme. We
should have an $18 bill put Tubman on that. Women deserve
less than you make less than just sub subpar citizens in
America. 18.5. And then finally, that good ol boy, Ricky Santorum
is back. Ricky Santos
we I don't know why we haven't done this. This is bothersome.
I've been doing this. I've been highlighting the potential. I
want to know what the scam is how much money can you scam.
When you run for president. There's no way Rick Santorum is
going to win anything. He's annoying. He's too tall, looks
like a goofball. And he's very just always, even though I've
seen him smile and have some fun. He's serious. And in the
end a drip. Yeah, but he wants him this President. Well, he's
uh, why is he running?
Well, if there's money to be made, he's making it from the
military industrial complex. And I'm very disappointed. He's a
he's a religious man. I remember them talking about you praying
with his family what they should do a big believer in, in the
church, and then I heard this little riling speech he did. I
have been
one who has actually been lectured a previous president,
on saying that this isn't a war on terror, but it's a war
against radical Islamic terror as a tactic Islam as an
ideology. And we need to be honest with the American public
about who the nature of our energy enemy really is. If these
folks want to bring back a seventh century version of
Islam, then my recommendation is, let's load our bombers up
and bomb them back to the seventh century.
them by them and bomb them again.
Is that's the old bombing and back to the Stone Age meme.
Yeah, which we've been doing. And if anyone hasn't noticed,
we've pointed out that Iraq has been pretty much bombed back to
the Stone Age and if we're not doing it, somebody else's. I
think it's a policy and he's just expressing it. Looking at
it noticing that it's actually going on
Yeah, but it's also it's just it's not it's a no no who does
that? McCain does that also this guy is not like McCain.
Disgusting. He's always kind of in like
a lot of but kind of a crossover memes colliding here with the F
Russia and LGBT TQQ AP Vienna. This is something I follow.
Every year Vienna will be hosting the Eurovision song
contest this year. And everybody is ramping up the end to promote
the openness of Vienna. They have installed a number of
crossing lights, which feature gay pedestrians I'm sorry. Yes.
So do you have instead of a little red man standing still,
there's two Redman one with his arm around him. And then when
this is bull crap, beep it's BBC and they're showing a picture of
it. Now this Vienna's do here, officials, what are they talking
about? Officials said these signals are a sign of Vienna's
open mindedness. Come on. We know what this whole song
contest is about. Dude in the dress lab one last time Come on,
this is Conchita Wurst.
The N A gay Vienna's gay straight and lesbian crossing
lights show all walks of life and this is in the Guardian so
they're going to have they're going to vary these others
around with two women walking across a little heart you know
the little hands with a heart in between them is bull city
installs pedestrian seamless showing same sex couples but
right wing politicians come out in opposition. Well it sounds
like they want to just put a little message to this the guys
it's funny. Well, the ASO those are the go light is to gay
women. The stoplight is to gay men.
I have one with two gay men with low heart holding hands walking
as well. Okay. I just thought it was interesting cultural Marxism
just getting everybody into a very strange. Finally the
staying on the gay tip. ISIS fighters have listened to the
show. I've told them they should. You need to start
killing gays if you want to get any traction in the US media.
And the latest example of ISIS is barbarity towards gays
members are pretending to make passes at suspected homosexuals
to draw them out, only to kill them.
I'm sure that's happening. And then the double whammy. Of
course we all know that. Vladimir Putin hates gay hates
gays hates gays, all of Russia hates gays can't do just can't
be gay and speak Rogen hates gays, and Sweden has some
activist group, the more they called the Swedish peace and
arbitration society.
The voices of Sweden are being raised to rearm increase the
military budget with $1.9 billion. The Swedish peace and
arbitration society wants to discuss a more effective way
than violence and aggression to solve conflicts instead of
Hope just I should have set this up better. This is based on the
multiple ports that were Russian submarines off the Swedish
waters which net was never proven, but was hyped quite a
bit in anticipation I guess if more defense spending right this
was a month ago or something like that. Yeah. And so this is
the the solution that has taken place
angry threats. Any visitors will now receive a warm welcome. The
Swedish peace and arbitration society proudly presents the
singing sailor.
How did you see this thing the singing sailor? It is a it is a
it is a watertight neon sign of a depiction of a gay sailor via
moving his hips like the neon flashes back and forth if the if
there's a little code goes underwater. So I've got this
disco
using sealer sends out a Morse code to any visitors nearby.
And the Morse code says this way if you're gay
this this is their big, big way to stop Vladimir Putin from
sending Russian submarines they're going to distract them
with the underwater gay sailor
wow you got to see this thing you got to see Yeah,
definitely. We'll go back and look at that is outrageous.
Yeah, well, anything goes despite our white paper that
Brian the gay Crusader put together you can find that at
surfed calm. You know, the ruling is not the way it has
been portrayed. But okay, that's all fine. It's fine. Well, and
then I have
Kerry was in Russia when he met with Putin. What that was really
explained it
I don't think he did he meet with Putin. I thought Oh, yeah.
Foreign. Oh, yeah.
I met he was a meeting with the Foreign Minister character who
was underplayed that meeting. And then Putin he had a long
meeting with Putin he talked about along me if I would just
prove it, carrying Russia play that clip and we get that out of
the way.
Secretary of State John Kerry's met with Russian counterpart
Sergei Lavrov and President Vladimir Putin a trip to Moscow
it's the highest level Russia visit by a US official since the
Ukraine crisis began over a year ago. Kerry said the meeting was
Frank and constructive.
I'm grateful to President Bucha for the significant amount of
time that he made available to this discussion for his
directors.
That is just him. Yeah. Nothing says nothing. Okay. There was
some meeting I did. He never said what it was about.
That is interesting, and also that it was so underplayed is
interesting. I
was told, yeah, only democracy now really clean it up.
I love that you do that. I never have to watch democracy now.
It's really fantastic. I mean, that. That's how the show should
work. People do not have to look at news. Just you know, if you
want to dive in deeper, that's easy. But if you want some
headlines that make a difference. I think we're pretty
good way to go. For instance, this will be my throw away.
Okay, there's my throw away. Do you recall we were talking about
the meme of people running up on live news camera shoots and
yelling EFA right in the posi.
Yeah, that was a short lived one. No, three victims were part
of a CSS font.
Oh my goodness. And it took crews longer than anticipated to
find the crack in the 64 year old pipeline. I'm standing here
with Fred who says he was greatly impacted by the gushing
of oil. Can you tell us a little more of what you saw?
Sure. Ken. I was sitting on my front porch. Grabbed a beer and
fucker right now.
This has not stopped and CNN I saw it this morning. This huge
piece about some reporter who stood up to people propagating
this meme at this is more family safe. I'm sorry, I should have a
pre announced that particular cabal just trying to remind us
of what this meme is. And you look at that on YouTube. It's
all over. It's being done everywhere. Everywhere in the
world. This is being done.
It's crazy. It's not even funny.
Well, the people who don't think it's funny or the reporters a
lot of
I would if I was a reporter doing a live feed a stand up.
I'd be very annoyed by this.
Reporters are used to being interrupted
as they did when we could.
But this is downright nasty. It's happened to me about I
would say a dozen times a phrase so dirty some reporters refer to
it by initials.
So the last time I had an effort in the P as I
like F or in the P better actually. That's fun glued.
Sometimes it even happens more than once in the same live shot.
People having their their good time.
Alright, that's very unfortunate. Tanya, I'm sorry. I
had to put up with that.
Finally, there came a reporter who wouldn't put up with it
outside of soccer game in Toronto to one is better than
Hey, City News reporter Shauna hunt turned from the offender to
other guys. She suspected
were you guys waiting around to see if he could EFA and the P me
live on TV.
It's now a verb you can ever in the peeny This is great. I love
her. This is going on TV.
You but yeah, it's a disgusting thing to say. It's degrading to
women and you were gonna do it. You would humiliate me on live
television on you. Will because you know when I'm sick of this,
I get this every single day. 10 times a day.
Guys, I'm sick of it. And then this guy made the mistake of
chiming in. Through it is he even mentioned a vibrator.
There's not a vibrator here if your mom My mom would die
laughing eventually. But you know who didn't die laughing
that guy's employer Ontario's electric provider I drew one
Fard, Shawn Simon's from his $107,000 a year job, saying he
violated the company's code of conduct. Ontario's premier
jumped into the fray, tweeting whether or not it's caught on
film sexual harassment at work is no joke.
So it's being combated under sexual harassment.
Yeah, you know, I can see how you can think it was sexual
harassment if it looked at just technically, but as I would, I'm
guessing it's mostly women stand ups that that end up with this.
Oh, not not only that, no. Yeah, no, there's other words I say
mostly, but it's not really sexual harassment. No, but
that's where they're taking it. Well, that's one way to get rid
of it. I think it's
funny. I can't help myself. That not not not really what's being
said, but
Well, you probably would have thought it was funny without the
booya guys that used to
same thing, Bobby bababooey bababooey That's what I wish
people ugly. I wish they would say EFA right in the no agenda.
show.com something like this. Change it up a bit.
Just no agenda show.com Would be great or in the morning
in the morning because even that would work. Amen. Fist bump.
Amen fist bump can
even take some credit for that. final final clip general
hurtling retired, said something. And of course these
guys are all what? There was a name for them. It was
pensionnat us. Oh man, I forgot what it was guys who are on
pension for who retired from the military or intelligence and
they except they're still on the payroll, ah, invention, nice
this pension, something like that pension if they like that
the best pension nice does. Exactly. So he's one of them.
And he just said something pretty interesting in this
little CNN clip, the Federal Court
just ruled that the way the NSA collects and stores certain data
is illegal. So what is the government to do to combat this
growing threat of what is social media inspired terrorism in many
ways here at home
social media inspired terrorism?
Well, when you take a look at the decentralized kind of
activities that are going on in this organization, there's very
little control over these individuals. I think the
government is going to have to have some renewed renewed looks
at things like Posse Comitatus the Patriot Act,
Titus as like a disease I got counted.
i Oh my God come and Titus on my posse. This is not right. He
meant posse commentaar this but for him to say that
is pretty big. I guess
if you live in Texas, it is because you know, Jade Helm 15.
Need I say more.
All right. Well, I got one thing just for make sure that we did
people know that we're on following it, which is the
Madison Wisconsin shooting. Some black guy in some situation,
this kind of a background on it. Just No, I don't really have
anything to say about it. But it looks to me they're going to try
to keep this stirring up the race. Race issues as much as
they can.
And that is sorry, going
in Wisconsin police officer will not face criminal charges for
fatally shooting an unarmed African American teenager, Tony
Robinson was shot dead in March after officer Matt Kenny forced
his way into an apartment following a disturbance. Kenny
says Robinson attacked him upon his entry. On Tuesday, the Dane
County District Attorney said an investigation found Kenny was
lawful and firing the fatal shots. Robinson's family members
say they've been denied justice. This is Robinson's grandmother,
Sharon Irwin.
I will miss him the rest of my life when you go home. And you
don't deal with this anymore. This is a forever thing. And I
just wanted to say this is politics and not justice.
Why is this not getting a lot of traction?
Because I don't think anyone's burned a building down yet.
Okay. I think that it could get traction. It could. I'm not sure
that it will. And I think that the reason I think it could is
because it involves Scott Walker.
Ah, yes, the dangerous guy,
the dangerous guy. So you want to do something in his state,
which is Wisconsin to get to embarrass him and get him to not
run for president. Okay, which is that work? You should run
until 2020. So that's fine with me. Last there was the meeting
that Obama called a summit to discuss with all the Arab
leaders to deal with this Iranian agreement and all of
them except two guys had NAT NAT coming in to kind of snubbed him
snubbed him and that's what everyone calls it, but just the
clip outlines this is summit snub with Shep Smith,
who lovely to hear Cheviot invite the leaders of six
middies nations, to come speak with the President and try to
work things out but most of those leaders will not be
attending we now know. And let's say it's a sign that those
countries are worried about US nuclear talks with Iran are mad
at the United States. The White House said today this is not a
snub that number present a snub to the White House and if not,
why not?
I think I think we've identified the word of the day in the
briefing today we that these are individuals who could represent
the interests of their country and implement any commitments
that they make in the context of the meeting.
Well take a look at the wall over here. Only the leaders of
Qatar and Kuwait have actually confirmed that they're attending
vigils in Saudi Arabia say the king is to focus on arranging a
ceasefire in Yemen. Then there's Oman, the United Arab Emirates
and Bahrain, which have announced their leaders will not
be attending without explaining why a couple of them quote
didn't feel like it. And analysts say the ruler of Oman
and the United Arab Emirates have been ill. Yeah. Important
to point out here. Those nations are still sending other
representatives to this summit, but not the main guy. What do
you think
this is snub? Yeah, well, of course,
they know what's going to happen. They know that once we
have a deal with Iran, and they're all going to be under
Iran's watch
that and there's going to be a The Well, as we pointed out in
the show that the deep theorists say that this is going to allow
Iran to get a bomb. So everyone else has to get a bomb and the
whole place just blow itself up and we get the money, the
benefit from the from the armaments and
the mobilization, the robotization stations are
winner, briefly a couple of big, big pharma things I'm working
on. I find it interesting that we have this story. I think
wired broke it. Cuba has a lung cancer vaccine, and we want to
get it, but it's cancer a virus now has it been deemed? And does
the cancer vaccine shoot cancer into you so that you build up
your immune system? This is not a vaccine, it may be
a shot. And maybe it's a drug of some sort, obviously, and
what they say is it makes people live, you know, at least four
months longer, something like that, but it's not a vaccine is
otherwise you didn't take it before you got lung cancer. Yes,
it's very
poor reporting.
Well, we have a group of people like to global warmists, they
have no scientific background. They don't know the basic
meaning terms. They use the word vaccine because the drug
companies have decided to use it to exploit the public. The
smoking vaccine is a perfect example. Yes, remember that?
Yeah.
And the anti anti cocaine addiction vaccine?
Yes. Not a vaccine. Poison. Yeah, both
the cure and the, the reason and then the company we need to look
out for or be have in our on our radar Theranos, t h e r a n o s,
they have this lab test, where all it takes is a home kit,
little finger prick. That's all no more giving a vials of blood.
And then they can scan that for which is all secret technology.
Of course, they can scan that for any number of diseases. And
the reason why it caught my eye is their board includes a Henry
Kissinger. So that would be whenever we see Kissinger on a
company's board, you know that you got to pay attention to it.
It's probably some sort of there's probably some sort of
poisoning involved.
Probably not John. Yeah. Well, he
likes to release a bit. He's all in on the reducing the world's
population. Wow, okay. I'm done. Okay. I mean, you poopoo the
Okay. And following in the ICD 10 codes, there is a bill. I
think coming to the floor, HR 2126, short title, cutting
costly codes act of 2015 saying we don't want these codes, it
has to be done by October 15th. We do not want these codes to be
implemented. It will kill smaller healthcare providers.
And so that bill is coming to the floor but of course it calls
for a study and eventually it'll it'll be pushed through. Yeah,
let me see who introduced this Mr. Poll of Texas
I'm seeing a lot of more stuff they had I didn't take any clips
of it. But Tom Cotton seems to be in the forefront of a lot of
other news stories now they're really setting this guy up. And
I think what they're trying to do is set him up to run for
might be the vice president candidate, and then they can out
him as gay, as gay. And then they can use the hypocrites.
Republicans are hypocrites. To good argument,
totally. Event something very important. I will hit the jingle
for this. Vaughn show Schmied phone.
I think we're in big in big trouble, John with with the web,
as the Mozilla Foundation, and you will recall that the was the
founder, the CEO who got thrown out because he supported
political campaign against gay marriage that he was squeezed
out. It was pushed out.
Yeah, yeah. So thinking about gays in this guy.
Yeah. So something's happened in there. That was
minor too. I don't even think it was really. There was just
something
well, it wasn't recovered it and he was pushed out. So there's
there's a he was pushed out the new guy in town, but here's what
would the Mozilla Foundation announced? They are going to
deprecate HTTP and will enforce HTTP s. Which, on Facebook, it
sounds like oh, this is a good idea because the Firefox browser
in the future will only support quote unquote, secure
connections. And the way a secure connection is established
with a web server is through a certificate that the web server
holds. And that certificate is managed by a CA a certificate
authority. So that you know, when you hit this website, it is
actually the website that they say it is. The problem is you
create this single point of entry for everybody. Now, with
actually it gets much easier because then you're completely
trackable through this, through this secure pipe. If the
certificate the certificate authorities are compromised
enough, quite enough examples of that, certainly with that
company in the Netherlands, but the foundation is going to work
with a number of other sponsors on Let's Encrypt, where they
will become a certificate authority for free. So I think
the way it works is you're going to be able to get your CA, which
is like it's probably a couple 100 bucks a year if you want to
have your own certificate on your own web server. And now
they are saying, oh, you know what, no problem, we will, we'll
provide them for free, we'll be the certificate authority.
And this even necessary, this is bull
crap, not only unnecessary, it's incredibly stupid.
And it's dumb. It's dumb.
And also, does that mean that Internet of Things, oh, I have
all kinds of devices that don't have HTTPS, you know, my, my
light system does it that's not secure, necessarily. So
everything has to be changed. And what they're saying is,
yeah, it will change eventually. But you know, they're not
putting a timeline on it. They're saying, Oh, could be
weeks could be months, you know, we'll see how we do. But but
this is we need a new browser company. We need a new browser
that doesn't do these things. This is this is one of the
this is a bad thought. So the guy who was in April of last
year, he apparently said didn't like the idea of gay marriage.
And that was that he had
supported some anti gay marriage bill or something I don't
give money or something. It's hard to see there's all these
articles but there's none of them are you know, so on the
board of let's say state has the right to fight gay rights is
from The Guardian. They get the whole thing on against against
gays.
Yeah, this is the so the let's encrypt.org is part of the
Internet Security Research Group, a section 501 C three who
have I don't know how long they've been in business, but
they have $0 reported they haven't provided zero
information to anyone. So maybe it's just too new. Maybe they I
can't believe that they wouldn't qualify for the amount we have
to report. A board members is RG executive directors, Josh ass
from Mozilla. They have phone, aka my Cisco, University of
Michigan, Mozilla Stanford Law, core OS, and then EFF. So
they're all in on this. And I understand that if you self sign
your certificate that right now if you do that, then Firefox
give you a scary warning. And you can continue if you want. My
understanding is it will just not support it at all anymore.
If it's if you don't have an officially approved
certificate from USCIS is not gonna fly. Well,
what do you mean is that they're doing it when it means not going
to fly is
not going to fly? What is it doing it they say they're doing
it, they can't they're not going to it's not going to work?
Because the vast majority of the people that just use the
internet, or just you know, and there's a lot of websites and
other sites that aren't going to do this. And there's going to be
old ladies that are going to click on some they're going to
get this warning. Oh, no, that's
what you have now but it'll be you won't you won't work. You're
gonna get
customer service calls. Gonna be inundated with his No, you can't
do that anymore. It's changed. I don't get it. It worked
yesterday, know that? We've changed it. We were gone to
HTTPS. HTTPS. What is that word yesterday?
Were they gonna have a problem? John, these old ladies you just
spoke up Mr. ageist. They're only going to Facebook. Where
are they going to find a problem? Nowhere,
you're going to click on one of the links in Facebook, which
will be the guardian or the New York Times.
Please don't just give up. They'll say how working
Sean Can you help me? And that not an ageist? I'm just doing
what they sound like.
And then the next thing she does is she calls Leo Laporte, the
tech guy.
They'll solve it. has all the answers. I enjoy that show.
There
you go. All right. All right.
Groovy everybody. We've covered quite a lot of ground today.
Hopefully, we can stop with the inflate gates and train
derailments get on some other stuff. In the meantime, you and
I, John and all of our producers out there and all the ships at
sea, and boots on the ground will have their ears and eyes
open for anything that is being overlooked. I appreciate you co
producing the show with us, thanks to our execs, thanks to
all of our financial donors. Because this product is made by
us in you for you, you are not the product coming to you from a
very wet FEMA Region six here in the capital of the drone star
states, Austin, Texas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
