So this was the scam of the scams. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak.
Thursday, June 11 2015. Time for your gizmo nation media
assassination episode seven to nine.
This is no agenda,
keeping tabs on Smith and money and broadcasting live from FEMA
Region six here in the capital, the drone star statement the
crackpot condo in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm keeping tabs on the
weather for historical sakes, it's foggy on John C. Dvorak.
That's June, June Gloom there
in rain the other day is not a normal June is global warming.
Well, you know, how we're gonna fix the global warming? Don't
you?
Know, the President told
us so himself, we want to solve something like climate change,
which was one of my highest priorities, highest priorities
highest priority, what happened to protecting the American
people? I thought that was the highest priority. Since
then, I've got to be able to get into places like Malaysia and
say to them, Hey, dudes, this is in your interest. What leverage
do I have to get them to stop deforestation? Well, part of the
leverage is, if I'm in a trade relationship with them, that
allows me to raise standards. Now, they have to start thinking
about how they're chopping down their forests, and what kinds of
standards they need to apply to the environmental. Gotcha. Yeah,
so this is
for the day, you know, I'm gonna have to tell you this. I'm not
gonna give it to you. But that is Clip of the Day. But you're
not giving it to me, because it's too early in the show. You
can take Clip of the Day right off the top.
That is the President explaining why we need to
know why he's fast track. Yeah,
exactly. Fast Track, a global war. But what I like is he says,
I can't tell them what to do. It's kind of jumping the shark,
you know, tell them what to do. I can't tell I can't sit
standards for every for everybody for the world to
listen to Mirka. So I need this, I need this. Of course, we all
know the true solution is nuclear energy. And I had a
meeting on Monday.
I forgot to put it forward to this today. I want to just
mention, though, I'm gonna reiterate a clip that we didn't
play. One of the guys one of the government guys goes on and on
and on about what we have to drop the oil altogether. And we
first he makes the mistake of saying a nuclear power. And then
the second time around, he drops nuclear nuclear power. And he
talks about when air, wind water and there's a third part it's on
Sun, sun. And they said we got to go to all renewables. And
every time anyone says to me, we should go to all renewables for
our energy needs. I'm always thinking, Well, shall I should
start burning wood.
Here, is that renewable?
Come on. Yeah. Gross. E renewable. Yeah. It chopped down
a tree. You burn it, you grow another tree, chop it down, you
burn
it, but that does result in other things that aren't great.
doable. They just they're not saying that they're not staying
clean. Okay, okay. I'm here to go on.
Well, I had a meeting with the sir. Atomic Hot Rod Adams here
in Austin. Yeah. Yes. Very well
known meeting. Yeah. When was but
we had breakfast at Joe's coffee on second. And so rod, of
course, has been our that he was a commander on a nuclear
submarine. You know, retired now but career naval guy he's
taught. He's been in private practice. And now he's, he's
pretty much doing his blog, atomic insights. And he has a
number of different podcasts that he does. And he drove from
Virginia, where he lives to San Antonio, for the annual American
Nuclear Society meeting, which he was using was very, very
depressing. Yeah, very well. Of course, there's no money really
anymore for our course in our nuclear why?
It's only although everybody judges it based on 1950s
technology. It's the only solution to global warming.
It's completely carbon free. The new React, breeder reactors
produce no waste.
The sun doesn't have to come up. Sorry. They didn't have to blow
aside. They do produce waste, but they eat their own poop. So
it's fantastic. But he said last year, there were about 1500
attendees at the ANS this year, about four or 500.
Yeah, well, once the Chinese get their act together, start
building these things left and right now, we'll get a clue.
And I wanted to point quickly, there's a he has a great article
about Stanford, how they're climate scientists, they're
promote 100% renewable and Like the renewable revolution, and
these guys are all, and these guys are all paid by fossil fuel
money. But they, of course, do not promote the true renewable.
And Stanford will not, will not take anyone who is interested in
becoming a professor in nuclear only nuclear waste.
Oh, really? Yeah.
He sent a letter as a whole letter that he sent me and got a
couple things I learned, by the way,
new layers not renewable in any way.
Well, that's not true. The breeder reactors are the
definition that you put you don't have that that's
just recycling, that's not renewable. non renewable means
remove it this you can get it back. When you pull uranium out
of the ground, if you doesn't grow back, like oil. Okay. Yeah,
Agreed. Agreed. But I got some, some updates and some info on
stuff that we're interested in. So if, for instance, backyard
nukes. And you know, how the progress is going?
How is it going?
And well, not too great.
Technology is there, what are you ready?
Well, I'll tell you what the problem is. So there's only one.
And of course, I'm not a nuclear physicist or scientist, but I'm
just paraphrasing what I jotted down. So the kind of reactors
we're talking, we're looking at backyard nukes, but really,
we're talking about a nuclear plant, that could be pretty much
in the backyard, the whole thing wouldn't be much larger than a
couple of you and I if you stuffed this in a box, and that
could power 100,000 homes. And this will be one of those
breeder reactors. And the problem is that the there's a,
there's a reactor that can already do this. It's the
Russian are Ross 60. And we do have a fast reactor here in the
United States, but we can't do anything with it. Because the
only place you can get the fuel for this is from Russia. And
guess what, as a part of the sanctions imposed over the
Ukrainian conflict, the Department of Energy is
forbidden from doing any business or getting anything
from Russia. So it's effectively a standstill forever.
Well, until they get give Snowden back.
Yeah, there's that. And then I came up with an idea. I said,
How can't we take decommissioned subs? And just change the
turbine? Because instead of propelling a propeller I had put
a different turbine on he said, Yeah, you could
probably why would you have to put a different one that don't
that doesn't that produce electricity to power that boat?
It will the reactor produces steam and then you need a
different turbine to generate the type of electricity that
could come out of this in the boat. They have a very slow
move, it's only three or 400 RPM is that the the submarine
propeller turns out so you just need a different turbine. You
could submerge it off the off shore it would have everything
it needs water for cooling water just everything and you could
probably power 250,000 homes with a decommissioned submarine
Guess what? What? Yeah, no, that's not gonna happen. Yeah,
it's not gonna happen. I encourage
Of course not Why do all these people that are all if the
question that always has to be asked when you run into a
environmentalist who is all in on global warming? Are the two
questions one what why not nuke? Right. Which still always was
the site a bunch of crazy stuff exactly how they sound to they
they can deal with that. And then the other one is why cap
and trade which is the other one that's so obvious. It's such a
scam. If you're really that concerned, right, you claim to
be just kept
the anyway it was good seen rod and he drives a Jetta diesel.
That's what the new guys drive
in that great. Little diesels are pretty quick, those European
days and it gets 43 miles to the gallon. The problem is that
because when it came with this low salt, it's almost as though
as some screwy about they came with this low sulfur standard
for diesel fuel, which is fine in itself. But then all of a
sudden diesel fuel costs more than premium gas, right?
Yeah, yeah. It's all the taxes
that are put on being a tech and more taxes. Just not the taxes.
The gas is overpriced. Well, you're
in a fine mood today, aren't you?
You keep coming up with these bromides.
I think you have this clip as well. But since I haven't lined
up already, I'll play this as a part of our agenda 21 opening
today.
As we previewed Friday the EPA has announced its intention to
regulate aircraft emissions, like it does cars, trucks and
power plants. Environmentalists say Eric and aeroplanes are
responsible responsible for about 3% of all US greenhouse
gas emissions. Conservative say strict emissions regulations
would force airlines to raise ticket prices or add more seats
to already cramped planes. This is the first step in the lengthy
regulatory process.
You go, this is going to suck
3% My but that proven?
Well, you know, it's not it's going to turn out differently.
Yeah, this is like what? Okay, so what they're saying is that a
plane full of people going from, let's say, 250 people, going
from San Francisco to New York, creates more emission that this
is what they're implying. They're not saying this or
they're implying this creates more emissions than those same
250 People driving from San Francisco to New York. That's
the implication there is that implication is built into them.
Reason rationale. Yes. I don't believe that. No, I think it's
just lies.
But what this is more indicative of is how certainly, this
administration has been really running things by the the new
powers or the reasonably new powers that the agencies have.
So just bureaucratic create, whatever whatever regulators,
they want a law. Yeah. Well, yeah, I will change the law,
etc. Exactly. Exactly. I see you have you watched the TSA,
security thing on C span? No. Oh, because I saw you have
airport security stuff,
I digital news stories, because I've, I've concluded that this
entire TSA Well, let's play these analogies. Give me my
conclusion. And if you're wondering, yes, let's start with
one. Okay.
The new report found the TSA does not have access to
terrorist watchlist data that would have flagged 73 airport
workers. That includes airline employees, airport vendors and
others. With access to secure areas of commercial airports in
the US. The TSA is responsible for vetting every application
for airport security credentials. The report noted
the vetting was generally effective but it identified
1000s of aviation worker records that appeared incomplete or
inaccurate including those for 75,000 immigrants that did not
list a passport number and 87,000 records without a Social
Security Number something by law the TSA cannot require Hmm
Why can't why I have to give my the last four numbers of my
shows social for anything
well they this entire i This that that really baffled me when
he said that Yeah, so you're hiring wait you're hiring
somebody without I don't know if you've ever been hired for a job
I believe so few. They always ask for your social security
number on the on the on your employment thing because they've
got to give you a W twos W fours to get to give you something and
they need your social security number so they can also give
this data to the government
do you think the report may be wrong or
I think this is just dropped in as more? Well, we need more
power I think this whole thing is a giant scam to get the TSA
more money more power and also to promote these you know, the
Patriot Act and some of the other things that are are
floating out there in limbo. And let's let's Jack everybody
up. I understand that if you do not have a social security
number, you can take your payment in iPads
that it was in Bitcoin. Okay, place Social Security or social
security
number to.
The report follows last week's revelation that undercover
agents posing as passengers were able to sneak mock explosives or
banned weapons through security checkpoints. 95% of the time,
the tests found a potential vulnerability with airport body
scanners.
Now, this game was the giveaway. They are piling on because this
is an old report they're reiterating when they start
reiterating the news. In other words, bringing back old stories
as part of a new story. This is very important what you're
saying yes, that means
something's up. This is a scheme something is afoot and play
three, which I titled the scam.
The big question from the new report is how dangerous for
these 73 workers and that section is redacted.
Oh, my second guy that broke up, hold on, hold on. Let me play it
again. See what's going on with this if something's wrong?
No. That was you know, that was CBS. Oh, we're better than CVS,
apparently. Okay, so this was the scam of the scams. They
said, here's the guy holds up a piece of paper, and it's got
black shit all over the way they went redacted. And he says how
dangerous were these these guys who got through without you know
they were on the terrorist watch list. We don't know because it
was all redacted. So they must have been very dangerous. We've
got to do something better pass more laws. We need more money.
That's what that said to me. Well, this leads into We're a
little blind. But before you lead into anything, I just want
to do a little aside. The beginning of clip two, there's a
sound effect. Okay, which is very familiar with me. I've
heard it a million times. I can't place it. The report
that thing that ding ding ding ding. Yeah. Listen again.
The report file in
the chat room. Oh, no.
All right. There was one more time.
The report file name with
a billion times chainlink fence? No, no, it's something your
dress like your suitcase dragging along and something.
I'm reading the chat room. bicycle bell. Ice cream vendor
ice cream vendor.
Don't read the dumb one.
Guess what it was? Some say it's a Vegas, the Vegas airport. And
it's slot machines, which would be familiar to you?
Oh, no, no, no. No. All right. Onward. Well.
So, yes. What you said about when they start to reiterate,
bring back old news stories, something is up. And we had
something happen earlier today. In fact, that happened on
Tuesday, you and I were happened to be doing something we were
working on a special episode. I'm going to play that first.
And then I'm going to do a little rundown. So we can really
get a good handle on what has been taking place in what we
sometimes would call the six week cycle. But this is a little
more transparent than and it also doesn't involve all
terrorists being nabbed by the FBI. During the daily press
briefing, on Tuesday, there was a bomb threat called in several
bomb threats called in one to the the actual press conference
and the room had to be evacuated. All the sudden
everyone's sitting there and they're, you know, asking
questions with Josh runners up on stage they had to leave. And
then we actually saw a little bit of the dogs running through,
it didn't look like it was kind of a strange sweep. If you're
going to, you know, evacuate the press in the West Wing. And all
you'd see is dogs running. So I was expecting a robot or
something of that nature. But they also evacuated the TSA
hearing on Capitol Hill, which was about this very report. Now
what was interesting is the President was in the White
House. However, he was not moved. He was not evacuated. No
one else was moved. Josh owners went back to his room. He was
not told to shelter in place. But the press were moved way
down towards the executive building. And this of course,
did raise some questions
went outside, you say it was to keep us cool. I don't think it
was we were out there you were in your office. They we went to
Pebble Beach first. And then they moved us further down into
the next building on the campus and moved us even further back.
It wasn't for coolness. It was because of a fear. So my
question is with the proximity to everyone and everything here,
the seat of power just feet away, and they will not move.
But if we had to be pushed all the way back, I'm trying this
something not jiving and not mixing just in time.
But April for the questions that you have about decisions that
are made by the Secret Service, that I'd encourage you to
contact the Secret Service and they can maybe get you a more
specific answer to your question that I'm able to
read, which they don't if they had to think about it coming in
because I watched them and think about stopping the briefing
because of the severity and no one was willing. It's just It
doesn't sound might
not doesn't sorry. She's sorry. Well, April, I can help you out.
Let us take a look at the month of June 2015. It started off
with the of course we had the expiration of the Patriot Act
that President Obama signed the USA Freedom back into law on
June 2. But of course on June 2, just before Congress was set to
to start the debate of the Freedom Act. We had multiple
bomb threats against US aircraft you recall this the five bomb
threats it could have been called in by an ISIS lone wolf.
So very convenient than for the President just signed the the
Freedom Act in two days after the President signed the Freedom
Act we had a massive massive security breach, which of course
was done by China and this was the the Office of Personnel
Management even though the hack occurred in December, this was
suddenly this was the news of no and this is of course you
do it. Sorry to hear you do it. You gotta hold these things back
as little things Okay, tiny components roll it out us roll
out that okay, let's roll it out. We're gonna blame Korea.
No, no, no, no, no China.
So the President even he was at with a group of seven in
Germany. Oh, here's what he said. We have known for a long
time there are significant vulnerabilities. These
vulnerabilities are going to accelerate as time goes by If we
need strong security cybersecurity laws etc litigated
the legislation money an hour after that statement, what did
we have? The Syrian government hacking group claimed
responsibility for hacking the official US army.mil website.
Nice coincidence, huh?
Yeah, yeah, so we've got China got another I got another good
idea for it. Man WP, I know Australia army rocks, you're
just
oh me rocks were in.
It was probably more like, Could you please type in C P Index new
dot HTML index hack dot HTML to index dot HTML. Thanks. Great.
We're good to go. The quote, Monday's attack may have been
the first breach of a website directly operated by the US
military. It's their it's their recruitment site. But of course,
you know, we can call back to the cyber caliphate, who hacks
Twitter and YouTube's YouTube accounts of CENTCOM, US Central
Command, as of course, we have the hacker ISIS. And now we have
the protecting cyber networks Act, which is currently in the
house, which will be a part of the Cybersecurity Information
Sharing Act. And then, let's see, oh, then all of a sudden we
have another bomb threat. I mean, this is a it's so obvious.
What is going on. Every single time we need to get something
through, move it through, get something placed, you know, set
an agenda. We have some one of these phony baloney attacks,
which really mean nothing. They're not
even really attacks. No,
it's someone who just calls. Yes, yes, yes, yes. So this is
all happening under the repeal of the Smith monde Act, which I
just like to remind people of from time to time, as a part of
the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, the United
States government is now allowed to propagandize its own people,
the citizens of the United States. And it's happening and
it's happening to push through legislation constantly. It could
also have been to shut this guy up at the TSA hearing. This is a
Federal air marshal his name is Robert McLean and this happened
before the before the bomb threat came in. He's he's he's
making some form of sense but the whole thing is this
was he cut off because of the bomb. He was not cut off. No
but it but it had been not long after he would that would have
been fantastic. Timing was a little off. Just listen to what
he has it his hearts in the right place. I
think flight crews and law enforcement officers need the
legal authority to deputize and indemnify, vetted able bodied
poss passengers to protect themselves and the jet from
described destruction. We could do this process during our pre
check. There's no reason why an athlete or military member can
walk deep into the cabin to restrain somebody. During pre
check enrollment. We can ask passengers to volunteer to be
these deputy air marshals
I want if I want a badge I want in
a plastic bed boy. No, it'd be a patch. It won't be bad to
wear it anytime you want on any clue how cool
would that be?
Deputy Air Marshal get
flat then you hold up the patch and flap around.
And you know, some people will laminate it to make it look a
little more official
during critical event pre check to be greatly expanded and
should be free of charge.
I'm all in the free of charge. But no, let's not expand this.
This is an elite thing. This is so I can travel freely without
hassle. I don't want long lines. Everyone's a damn deputy.
More people and precheck frees up resources to focus on
attackers. I'd like to see TSOs roaming airports with mobile
precheck application kits and soliciting passengers during
their delays.
Can I interrupt and ask you a quick question? Sure. We start
we've been doing this for almost eight years. And eight years,
when considering there's probably 40,000 flights a day.
You got to multiply 40,000 times for under 65 times eight years.
How many events happened on airplanes that required this
this procedure or deputies to save the aircraft? How many can
you recall as far as like aircraft has dropped from the
sky? Well, 40,000 times 360 times eight in the last eight
years? Well, none have been dropped from the sky.
multiple answers multiple answers. We've had, of course,
really one instance with the shoe bomber, the underwear
bomber where the passengers jumped in
right where they jumped the shoe bomber to earlier Yes, although
that wasn't a domestic however, we
have had 10s Maybe Even scores of aircraft turn around make
emergency landings for drunk passengers, babies who are
crying people just so now it's useless obviously,
we need to have more faith in human intelligence gathering and
the intuition of bold officers. But in order to get more air
marshals on the ground, you need to completely secure the flight
deck or the cockpit.
He has some interesting ideas here which one of them is super
logical I don't understand why it hasn't happened yet.
Where the pilots are in control of the jet every flight deck
should have a modified shotgun with an emergency lock switch.
Yeah, shotgun pellets are an ideal sincere since the primary
concern is to stop an attacker trying to force the door open
and in a highly unlikely Miss shotgun pellets will not harm
passengers or the aircraft.
No oh my i What is that? Blind.
The group of pilots
I think it'd be I don't think he says this But would be really
cool is to have one of those little holes in the door like in
a Brinks armored door shut down and goofing around a little bit.
will not harm passengers or the aircraft. The group of pilots
who use your own funds to travel to Artesia New Mexico, spending
a week being trained and issue a TSA 40 caliber semi automatic
pistol can miss and kill an innocent passenger the very back
of the cabin with a jacketed bullet once again. This is
highly unlikely, but it's possible. Arm pilots are not
allowed to carry their pistols on international flights to do
very restrictive hand gun laws in foreign countries, but a
shotgun modified to stop one or two hijackers trying to break
into the cockpit from one foot away would be an aim for a host
country to deny and risk another 911 style attack there's
your there's your idea John there's the little the little
hole the Brinks truck home one foot away.
It's an extreme hazard whenever a pilot opens the flight deck
door to use the laboratory to get food and drink and amped up
and attacker
amped up attacker. I'm amped up man above my feet both
an amped up and attacker can dive inside and destroy the jet
there's a cheap and perfect solution
on how many times has that happened in the last eight years
zero with 40,000 flights a day to a certain extent yeah but
listen to
the idea that his idea is not that an attacker
can dive inside and destroy the jet there's a cheap and perfect
solution to this secondary barriers 10 horizontal cables
attached to a vertical pole a flight attendant simply stretch
across the front of the forward galley and lock in place and
that's that would replace what I've always thought was a really
dumb idea where they they move the galley cart and they stand
behind the cart
is a dumb guy that does look stupid they the girls are there
and it's behind the cars like they're gonna they're looking
left and looking right
so I think the idea of these wires are good but he's able to
instead of having these these steel cables at the front of the
plane is put steel cables around every passenger and that was a
miles yeah just
strap you down. That's this barrier buys the flight crew
place when they can't when the captain comes out. You have time
to get your arm on the armrest and a little handcuffed thing
comes around
this barrier buys the flight crew plenty of time to quickly
get the pilot back into the flight deck at the shock on the
door in order to control unruly passengers who could be suicidal
attackers setting or setting up a ruse real law enforcement
rooms is a ruse for every cabin should be equipped with
restraint systems
of non lethal that's just to for the pilots have fun with the
stewardess the tools to
restrain unruly passengers or stop murderous attackers from
your Alice. Let me let me restrain you girl.
I think there's a bigger problem that never want to address all
the
time to call in the bomb threat
is one thing they never addressed in these meetings. I
just don't understand because this is a danger that any
airplane spontaneous human.
I was just talking about that the other day. I'm glad you
brought it up because someone was I was talking about this and
asking John's a believer
well only because I've done research on it.
Do you want to reiterate your research I mean,
I could reiterate it but there's plenty of documented cases where
somebody just burns to the pile of ash is really not doing much
damage to the area around them except this spot they're sitting
seated. Right They tend to be in an overstuffed chair. There's
this I've found documentation of this going back to the 1600s I'm
sure there's stuff before that but you're sitting around it
there's for anyone who this happens to I don't know what you
can do about I've never heard anyone stop it in process
and it's usually in the legs right the legs no no
rounded around the girth is where the blue flame is first
started to appear. And they kind of shoot out like it was like
propane torches kinda.
Do we have video Do we have video is well I'm
waiting for the video. And then the next thing you know you're
completely engulfed in fire. I never heard anybody screaming
ORS are in pain, which
is kind of it doesn't usually happen when you're asleep in a
kind of in a Barker lounge it happens
when you're in a state. It's happened on a pulpit where a
preacher just went up in flames, but it generally happens in an
overstuffed chair. Yeah,
it's an A Barco lounger.
Yeah, you're sitting in a Barcalounger Who is it got to be
a risk, and then you just catch on fire and you're just a pile
of ash at the lounge chair is singed. So it's a way to go. But
this could if this happens on an airplane? What? Well, I don't
know. Because who knows what kind of panic?
Oh, yes. But it's never happened on airplanes. As far as I know.
As far as you know, as far as I know,
yes. Indeed. The most emailed response to the previous
program, did you receive a lot of emails about one particular
topic? No. texture of food?
Oh, I didn't get that much. I got a lot. And I got some I got
another batch of mail about something else. But I
there was a lot of tweets people saying yes, my wife has this and
add to your point. A lot of people who have texture issues
with food, won't eat it as the raw food but if it's blended
It's okay. Or if it's baked into something else. It's okay a lot
of men saying, you know, I have this to a more men than I
thought I thought was just a female thing. Although it does
seem that the just from my informal survey that it is more
prevalent with women, it seems to be a little bit of a
millennial thing to just judging by some of the age ranges and
something I should have done much earlier. I I usually I do
this this is this is a this is real. And it has a an entry in
the DSM five manual, the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders. It is a mental disorder. So get
ready to tell your wife she's she hasn't met the honey, you've
got a mental disorder. It is known as avoidant or restrictive
food intake disorder. And it is considered an eating as you can
also call it Sed. It's either a RFID, avoidant restrictive food
intake disorder, also known as selective eating disorder. And
unfortunately, there are no drugs for it yet. But Oh,
that'll be that'll. Anyone who did? I don't know.
I love the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders. We're all crazy for some. Yeah, yeah. I actually
discovered a new disorder which I want to have in the DSM
manual. link right in there. If you look at Dardanelle I look I
checked this one link Titus. I'll bet you also suffer from
Lynn Titus. I suffer from Lynn Titus,
where you pick up a little piece of lint and you No, no, no, no,
no. Lynn Titus is you have a Yeah, blood ball hairballs
sweater and you gotta shave them off. No,
no, no, no, it is the compulsion to lift the lint from the dryer
off in one piece.
Well, I don't know that that's a compulsion you do it generally
speaking, because it's easier.
No, it's a win for me. But you
can do pull off pieces at a time. Turn it if
you can pull the whole no you won't you want to pull off
without it breaking. So yeah, to get that one whole work if
it breaks get the whole flap work avoidance disorder.
I noticed what what am I doing? I'm really happy when they went
Oh, yeah, I got the whole thing off in one go. And then you use
the dryer? Sheets to rub the rest off. You use dryer sheets?
Yeah, you don't use dryer sheets.
God no the chemicals in that I wouldn't be anywhere near that
stuff.
But it makes everything fluffy and smell nice.
Yeah, throw a bottle of perfume in next time. Well, this, I
can't admit it. I know what it does to fibers and what it
broadly does when you're when it's up against your body is I
don't even want to think about that's how I how deadly.
Oh, wow. Thank you for telling me this, sir. Well, thank you, I
shall immediately cease this operation fluff
stuff up that much. Well, the little
bear on the package looks like it's going to fluff everything
up. Thank you error on the packet. Lynn Titus. Look it up.
It's real. It's real. I tell you,
a bit of it is all right. I've since we were talking a little
bit about climate change. I do have the AMY GOODMAN clip. I
just want to I'm going to collect these now. Because no
matter what she says is always related to climate change. And
let's say Amy says climate change clip
Last month was officially the wettest month ever recorded in
the United States. Despite a record drought in California
states across the Midwest were hit by heavy rain in May, a
pattern which has been linked to climate change
is like that pattern is linked to climate change if it was just
the opposite of California isn't being flooded in the rest of the
country is in a drought that's been linked to climate change.
It's
really unbelievable everything.
I'm gonna make a huge clip file. So I put that one in climate
change click file for Amy just Amy because she just brings it
in all the time. She brings it in more than anybody else on
working on television. Now Yeah, like if you want every says
we're on her topic of
climate change, or just,
Amy? Oh, well,
before you move on with Amy then at the g7 the leaders of the g7
you always want to push stuff out as a as a politician. We
have these 2020 goals where China's supposed to kick in
doing nothing and no, I almost had this clip. I know which one
you got. It's not a clip. It's not a clip. It's the g7 leaders
have agreed to completely phase out all fossil fuel by the end
of the century. Yeah. When we're all dead anyway. Carbon
elimination they call it? Yeah, I got that too. Not. Is it big
talkers? Yeah. All right. So the weavers This is the clip is the
weavers and weavers to the follow up? Well, I guess the
lead singer who was a really good singer of the weavers I'm
not familiar with the waivers the wheat Well, of course not.
The weavers were a folk act in the 50s and they predated a
bunch of Pete Seeger was in the group and it was their protest
songs and be way before anybody else and and then they got
apparently blackballed. But here's play that clip. Here's
the little rundown on this woman who died this last one.
Kentucky Democratic governor Stephen Bashir has signed an
executive order raising the minimum wage for employees of
the State Executive Branch to $10
a year.
I'm sorry, yes.
So I'm sorry, I should have clipped that off. But the
minimum wage went up some more
than 10 cents an hour. I'll just do something for myself the
salaries of nearly 800 workers beginning July 1, Governor
Beshear said the current year just talk over a little while
good worker don't worry it's quote simply not enough to say
my best folk music fans are mourning the death of singer
Ronnie Gilbert one of four founding members of the weavers
who helped popularize folk music and bring its message of social
change to the world. In a documentary called The weavers
wasn't that a time Rodney Gilbert recalled the period
around the weavers founding after World War Two saying quote
we still have the feeling that if we could sing loud enough and
strong enough and hopefully enough it would make a
difference. It didn't nurse were targeted by anti communist
fervor investigated by the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee and blacklisted Did they
have any hits that blacklist I think they had a couple but
there were the we it was just folk here that you know there
was a full era
This is Bob Dylan came out of this and Peter Paul and Mary and
judge
Peter Paul and Mary the Kingston Trio, Kingston Trio definitely
rooftop singers. You look at something you've written so I'm
a disc jockey. I've either Lauren's Mukti singers. I have
all the Lawrence Welk albums.
So So meanwhile, so they tell the story, this woman and they
have P Come on, and he talks about what a great voice Yeah,
and I'm actually curious about her voice. But so Amy goes to
part two of this hour, the end of this clip she and I pointed
this out before and it's probably the worst on in
broadcasting radio or she runs her stories together 90% of the
time, so you don't know if she's talking about one thing or
another. This one was so egregious.
Is this a prompter issue? Do you think?
I think it's her writers or they just run these stories together.
She's reading from the prompter because you can see your eyes
going back and forth. And it must be a prompter issue. But I
think it's also they don't do breaks or they don't she has no
she should go watch JUDY WOODRUFF because the two people
that do news runs rundowns are PBS NewsHour. In other words,
they do a bunch of bunch of bunch of stories. And then they
do their there's features later. They're the only group that does
it. Everybody else spreads it out. It kind of a news item
feature right on top of it. But those two do it and Woodruff
does fine she goes from story to story. You know what story it
is? Amy? No, she just rattles off all the stuff that's on the
prompter. And this is the worst case I've ever heard. She
catches herself and it makes some boneheaded comments. But
you'll hear this listen to this.
Ronnie Gilbert died on Saturday at a retirement community in the
California Bay Area suburb of Mill Valley at the age of 88.
Her death was confirmed by her partner Donna, an immigrant
teenage mother and our final headline who attempted suicide
Wow private Texas family detention center after being
denied asylum.
Whoa. She was gay what who he would hook Let me listen to that
again. That was good.
Ronnie Gilbert died on Saturday at a retirement community in the
California Bay Area suburb of Mill Valley at the age of ADA,
her death was confirmed by her partner Donna. And
now this is this is a huge mistake. That's not just run
out. That's just that's, I think someone eliminated a whole block
of copy in the prompter. That's that's just she's just reading.
She's not even thinking about what she's reading, John.
Oh, no, she's never thinking she's just read. And that's why
she runs these stories together. She does it all the time.
Nothing quite as bad as this. Where the two that is that
is also that is also board age. That is borderline Clip of the
Day as well. That's a good one.
It was just it was just like, Wow, fantastic. And, you know,
she gets paid to do this
big contract big controversy. Big, big controversy. The
President, you probably heard this. He was hanging out with a
rainy rainy, rainy, rainy, I think the Italian President
prime prime minister was during this and and they were out on
the balcony somewhere in the White House. And it looked like
the President had a pack of smokes in his hand. Taking it
yeah, getting ready to take a smoke. You can you can search
this you can just say, you know, just type in Obama smoking. And
this came up of course in in the in the press briefing after the
the bomb threat. Because the President if he were to be lying
about smoking, and I was a I was a secret smoker for a while in
my first marriage, and I was lying about it. And it gets easy
to lie about a lot of things. I think once you have that, that's
a big lie.
I feel Yeah. For the president, the United States seems to come
looking at the picture. Now.
I'm gonna I'm gonna play the clip here of the question. There
seems to be a picture that's going around making the news
with President Obama meeting with the Italian prime minister,
and he has something in his head and there's a lot of question
about what this white thing isn't his hand. Can you tell us?
Is the President does he have a pack of cigarettes in his hand?
He does not. What was it?
I don't know. It probably wasn't there. But
But I mean, did he tell you what it was?
You may you may be surprised to hear that I have not raised this
issue with the President today.
Okay, well the President as you've acknowledged he reads
media reports and everywhere this picture with him holding
the way I describe it is everywhere. Check it out.
Check it out, man It's everywhere. It's on Buzzfeed.
Well, I mean it the size and I'm not a smoker but the sizing
looks like it I mean, so let me so you're saying
I told you it's not their cigarettes it's
not it's not it's not move on move on Shut up slave and move
on. Don't say anything about the smoking slave it's a pack of
smokes it's a pack of smokes. You wouldn't
know Yeah,
yeah. What everybody else thought and he's holding it the
way a smoker opens up a pack a Lucky's it's probably cooler
doesn't smoke didn't smoke cools. I don't know what he
smoked. When he did respond to it. The President responded to
this question he got goose got this was so strange when he's in
Germany goes God tile everybody should have added that at the
end. Everybody
hasn't been for rescue mission when the world is threatened.
The world needs help calls on America
and that's the store
groups got
Yeah, he's holding a pack of smokes no doubt about
it pack of smokes. Liars. This
seems smoke and so maybe just carries around as a prop it's a
shitty lie man. It's a shitty lie. It's just shitty. It's not
okay. Just sneak in smokes just say it I'm hooked
and people should be right you could be probably get more
mileage talking about how honest he is to stop smoking.
Yes transparents now no no can't have any of that
so have you seen a picture of the WT C for building at this
proposal? They're going to build
no I read something about it that what I read in this course
is a Silverstein property who had the original two buildings
and and issued the pole order pull it was it pull it pull it
on I
want to put a bunch of insurance on these things here was it
doubled the
no he said do you want to double the insurance because it was two
buildings
and they didn't they finally didn't give him the money on
that deal. But here Yeah, I understand you got kind of
screwed on the insurance but w etc for Here's the rundown. We
got our
first look today at the design for the new to world trade
center the four And final tower to rise from the ashes at
storeys tall it will resemble a giant staircase
no this is behind us.
Hey man, first of all
get on there.
Is it gonna be one of those tallest buildings ever?
No, it's only 80 stories, but it looks like a giant Stairway to
Heaven. I haven't seen as stupid as looking building I've ever
seen this by a very young architect.
I think they had an original architect, the famous architect
who did the and anyway, they move that out and they got a new
young guy to design it. Stairway to Heaven. When I was in New
York, they have these they call them think pencil buildings, or
pin buildings. And, and it's a very, very tall building and
each floor is one unit. Uh huh. Yeah, it's really creepy.
There's stuff on YouTube that takes you through some of these.
Oh, it's there. There's a there's a place in Berkeley.
That somebody built like that. Only it's even thinner. Where
every floor is one room. Ah, how does that you want to go the
bedroom and go up two storeys?
How does that really work? If
you had a big fire pole all the way down to the bottom would
work well. But they don't have that. I don't know. Fireball.
You could slide
down on the morning. Hey, neighbor, my neighbor, my
neighbor from all the way down. Yeah. Yes. On the on just going
back to climate change for a moment decided we didn't have
this in order. We have the leap second coming up, which we
discussed earlier.
On early, that's such a big deal. And well,
Google is getting into it because they have to. What
they're going to do is they have a 20 hour what they calling a
smear window, where they will slightly slow down all of the
servers so that the end of the smear window is disgusting
thought schmeer, schmeer all you got to smear window, I got a
lot of bad locks. Last labored
schmear. But to explain this, how the second comes into play.
Here's Google's quote. However, unlike leap years, leap seconds
did not happen at regular intervals because the Earth's
rotation speed varies irregularly in response to
climactic and global geological events
to present me this as an email. Yeah, climate change is slowing
down the rotation of the Earth. are speeding it up? I don't
know. It won't say.
It's just ah. They might as well just say, oops, failed.
Nevermind. Fail. Sorry. We're all gonna die is what I was
gonna say.
All right. Well, I got the follow up to make it a great
day. play that clip.
Make it a great day. Enjoy. Okay, man, yeah, these are good.
John. I like these for the end of show.
I just hear him on the TV. Oh, yes. That's talking about
hearing something or seeing something. Do you see it? You
know, you know? So my daughter's when one of our best friends
maybe your best friend, the the girl whose family is from
Georgia? Not Georgia here. But Georgia in Eastern Europe? Oh,
yes. Yes. Yes. She calls me up to tell me this because she said
it might be of interest to the show. And I told her send me
some example. She never did.
Your daughter's girlfriend calls you up. I heard Yeah. Does he
listen to the show? Yeah. How are you? Millennial?
Yes, she would be a 2122 Fantastic. And she says she
thought that she hot? She's a pretty girl. Okay. She says I'm
so sure that she's she said first of all she processes GV
admitted that she's nuts about one thing and one thing only and
she even has a tattoo and she's gonna get another one about
this. She sees hexagons everywhere. But I better show
DSM five. She looks I'm sure it is. She looks at a newspaper
article. And then she'll see hexagons like in the print and
she just sees them. She only she called me not to tell me that
she sees hexagons everywhere she looks
hexagons or honeycombs or just
honeycomb hexagon. It's a six sided just a six sided thing we
had you actually put one in the newsletter. Somebody made the
Earth into a if you look at a square a cube and you look at it
in two dimensions, it's a hexagon. Yeah. Now the reason
she called Was she seeing a lot more of them than ever? Hmm. And
I said, Well, that is that the first part is like, Okay, you
see hexagons everywhere? I guess you can. That's just an anomaly
and ailment. I don't know. But seeing more than ever that she
says are cropping up everywhere. I thought, well, she said, that
might be a no agenda thing. I said, Well, it could be I don't
know what it is, though. But now that it's been revealed we can
this is why this is going to be one of these things where we're
just going to it's going to be like hearing people say, yeah,
no, we're going to see hexagon. Turn off this program people you
driving everyone crazy. Yeah, no. And the fact of the matter
all these thoughts on this, there's you are hearing it
everywhere, because they're saying it everywhere.
There's a new one. There's a new one that you have. I have it
it's another affliction. Are you are you ready? We have a little
montage. Oh,
that guy? Because I studied the Civil War to an extreme.
Hitchens hated Clinton to such an extreme not in this clip,
because he is being cowed by Chris Matthews to such an
extreme that as Rand Paul does this to an extreme, which was
which has been debunked to an extreme by universities and
everybody in between. Well, unless unless somebody's hacked
a passport to such an extreme.
How do you feel? That's great, sir. lbf sent that well,
actually, when he said that when the first one ran, yeah, I got
recognized immediately. I knew that's what was gonna be. I knew
that to an extreme.
And what does it really mean to an extreme really to so far that
it's just the extreme it's the almost the end of the universe
John,

barbecue competition you don't really cook what anybody
actually would get from you and they get from you in the
restaurant normally, and one of the things is for people like to
cook ribs is pretty much required. And when you do
competitive rib cooking that you tear off the membrane off the
backside of the bone side of the ribs, which is a pain in the
butt. You have to for somebody first you got to loosen it off
off the end of ribs and then you gotta get it so it's completely
the piece that you can wearing the sum so you got his slippers,
greasy ribs. And so you got to take both hands and you got to
grab that slippery membrane you got to rip it off the back.

That concludes our executive producers, Associate Executive
producers for show 729 want to remind people we do have a show
coming up on Sunday. It'll be show 737 30 was 730 in the
morning. Go to dvorak.org/na and sieving find some way to help us
here on the next show.
And I would like to remind everyone to sign up for the
newsletter. This is a we have a number of ancillary products
that the show creates show notes is one of them, which of course
has been spawned search.na show notes.com And the no agenda
player which is just fantastic. Edna Donna who, Donna Donna, who
maintains the search site, he's now going to integrate the no
agenda player site into that. So when you search for something,
you can find the topic and any show notes associated with it.
And from what I understand there will be link right into that
piece of the show. Wow, take that NPR boom. Let me just
dynamite dropped my mic, pal. Yeah. Please sign up. You can
find the signup link, just click on the link and almost happens
automatically, magically just a little bit of work. And YouTube
will receive the no agenda newsletter. It's a great it's
just great. And then looking at he does have a
disgruntled newsletter recipient who didn't really unsubscribe.
It basically stopped listening to the show. Because he doesn't.
He says we do a great job of deconstructing, but we shouldn't
have sponsors. But yeah, so he said he went on and on about it.
And he says you guy should be like a real show and have
sponsors. And he said sponsors Yeah, he wants he said we should
be sponsors so we don't have to keep asking for money from him
because he feels guilty by not giving money. Yeah. And so he
stopped listening to the show because he doesn't like feeling
guilty I guess I thought that was screwy so sponsors
like dropped Archer Daniel Midlands and Monsanto and Boeing
kind of like PBS and NPR so we can do real objective reporting
about our sponsors.
And why you're talking about that I do have one little clip

insider news. There is some question as to the charts
they're looking at there's a lot of technicals and a lot of
technical analysis in this particular article. But they tie
the way the charts are running into the resignation of the two
co CEOs of Deutsche Bank, who resigned nine months before
their contract was up. And I know from my New York, banker,
ex New York banker friend, that it was already strange. The CO
CEO thing was really weird to start off with Deutsche. But
they resigned. And in this article that I will be in the
show notes. It says that there may have been some kind of
derivative bomb that went off behind the scenes. And Deutsche
is reported to have a $73 trillion derivatives book that
I'm pretty sure I sent the article to my my ex banker
friend. He hasn't responded yet. I'm pretty sure he's gonna say
bullcrap. But it probably is. Yeah. Yeah. Well, well usually
says more. You usually try to explain why. But it does warrant
some attention. And particularly in light of this where we have
this is the lead story. It was at the news, our
Yeah, yeah. Here's our What do you think? Well, what is God?
You guys? It's a it's a it's a sign that this kind of thing
happens before crashes? Right, where all of a sudden that
becomes the front of the news. So the the I don't think they've
gotten enough excitement. The public in general has to start
investing like crazy, usually before a real stock market
crash, but they can be a technical one, that could be a
problem. But this should not be at the top of the news. It's not
that this is not the top news
item, or is it or isn't or isn't?
It's not ever, as far as I'm concerned is shouldn't be
well, Greece is down to the wire. I mean, yeah, but how
long this has been last year. I know. It's like, Oh, if we don't
do something about climate change by Tuesday. How often
we've heard that for the last five years. Yeah.
Yeah, we've heard that a lot for sure. But there's some other
strange financial news, South Korea Now there's no we haven't
discussed it on the show but there's been this ongoing murse
you know, outbreak and everyone's freaking out but it's
doesn't seem to be that many people in South Korea, but okay,
I
did hear about it until last Tuesday when Horowitz told me
that he's going to China and he's concerned about this
because he has to take a connection back through every
like every Merced hotspot time.
Well, the South Korean central bank cut their key interest rate
to a record low because of the MERS outbreak. The cut aims to
ease negative impact for MERS this is what is MERS John is
this simple kind of viral thing.
Remember you remember this is the Middle East Middle Eastern
respiratory senatore syndrome. It's the thing that the guy was
inherent in Saudi Arabia went to England you know coughed up some
blood and the next thing you know Mercer thing.
Maybe Ebola was too tired and they couldn't couldn't make it
happen over there. Well, the cut aims to ease negative this is
from Bloomberg aims to ease negative impact from MERS and
prevent consumer sentiment and production from freezing up.
What are they expecting?
A panic do when I go into malls? You have to remember that in
Asia malls are like they make do I don't care what mall you've
ever been to in the United States multiplied by a factor of
10. And you have an Asian mall I would love to go to they are
hugely effective. Korea is a good example. They have these
giant department stores that the malls are mostly in China but in
Korea, there's these giant this apartments are like the latte
lotto or whatever Lahti whatever it's called. And there's a
couple other ones 100 I think has one. And there they make
Macy's New York, which is a substantial store look like,
look like it looks like cocaine or heroin shooting gallery. It's
just a it's 10 times the size? Well, not really. But five times
the size of the bases of butthole. Florida is a grocery
store a whole floor. That's this and Oh, Florida. It's that's
quite the private thing. It's tourist attraction. I'd
love to go I'm sure Don can hook me up with all kinds of cool
people.
Yeah, I'm sure he would.
We'll have to see what happens with the with the funnel. But
you know, we've been kind of expecting this and grease. The
problem I've seen with was with grease, I think but we'll see
next is there'll be taxes on breathing. You got you want four
wheels on your car. Now there's going to be an extra tax. I
don't know how they if they can rape the citizens of Greece any
more than they than they are already.
I got a kick out of Max Keiser because he was they were talking
about Greeks. Yeah. And and they comes up this says this.
Okay, this is what happened to the scapegoat population, steal
all their money and start putting them into camps, and
then exterminate them.
Out of the blue. Good plan. exterminate them. Oh, well, that
reminds me. Bilderberg is about to go into session. Oh, your
favorite
drink and pouring in and they're bringing in cases of champagne
as we speak. Dom Perignon, I'm sure.
And let's see the Dutch Prime Minister is invited, written. So
he will be going, of course, that will keep our eye on Eric
Schmidt from Google. Eric Schmidt from Google is going
right. Exactly. And we have the agenda is going to be
cybersecurity. What else was there? cybersecurity, of course,
climate change has to be on there. And you know, when, when
when The Bilderbergers come to town, you know, actually, here's
the press release. Hold. Let me tell you who is going to be
here. Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity, chemical weapons,
threats, current economic issues, European strategy,
globalization, Greece, Iran, Middle East, NATO, Russia
terrorism. Many topics, blah, blah, blah. But you know, who's
really excited about this? There's only one guy in
broadcast history. Who was the man when it comes to Bilderberg?
Oh, yeah. The seed man. Yeah, the seed man.
Welcome when the leader when the funerals come to town. could
open your eyes in town. Little scam do not come show it. It's
done in secret project of Adolf Hitler. I like it.
He's a gin. He's a national treasure I tell you he is
the more you play these crazy clips that are sent from others.
And we try to avoid that sort of things. We got time. But you
know, there's only so many hours in the day. Yeah. I have to say
that some of these are just dynamite. And I think we
entertaining I guess you weren't people. Yeah, I
think we get the benefit of his of his art by playing some of
his more colorful clips. Yeah. He'll be out there with the
bullhorn. Finally we have we got a little bit of news about To
get more nation east, the United Kingdom's are looking to
implement some new legislation to stop terrorism. We played
many clips of that with Theresa May, who is arguably the
Department of Homeland Security Secretary of State, not state
secretary interior person who will be he could not answer the
question as to what is, you know, what extremist views are
and how you will or what you will or will not be allowed to
say or put on social media. And of course, we need strong cyber
laws, and we need to be able to read everyone's email and
Twitter has to hand over information, which is a point of
contention, and is being debated now. Unfortunately, it's not
going to go into effect soon, not this year, which I find sad
because you know, why we need to fill three hours you know, the
more I can get from this crazy crap they're doing over there,
the better. But here's Teresa setting it up for us,
the operation and regulation of the Investigatory Powers used by
the police and the intelligence and security agencies is a
matter of great importance to the security of this country.
And I know an issue of great interest to many members of this
house. As David Anderson makes clear, it is imperative that the
use of sensitive powers are all overseen and fully declared
under arrangement set by Parliament. It is therefore
entirely right that Parliament should have the opportunity to
debate those arrangements in full. The Anderson review was
undertaken with cross party support, and I believe it
provides a sound basis to take this issue forward in the same
manner. In order to ensure that this is the case, the government
will publish a draft bill in the autumn for pre legislative
scrutiny by a joint committee of parliament with the intention of
introducing a bill early in the new year. Given the sunset
clause in the data retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014.
The new legislation will need to be in place by the end of
December 2016. I've said many times,
what if you took this woman and slowed her down and put a bed
under her? We've already done this with the music but this
woman we I think we did it with her. Yeah, we've done it with a
really good and this little thing. Yeah, I didn't
have time to do this one. But I had let me see I have Yeah, I
can actually mix two of them. Let's we'll finish the regular
and then I will post produce this. But I just cut it down a
little bit because who cares about some of
the foals that it is not possible to debate the balance
between privacy and security, including the rights and wrongs
of intrusive powers and the oversight arrangements that
govern them without also considering the threats that we
face as a country. Those threats remain considerable, and they
are evolving. They include not just terrorism from overseas and
whole row,
as you say they're revolting, revolving overvolt A,
but also industrial, military and state espionage. Thank you
not just organized criminality, but also the proliferation of
once physical crimes online such as child sexual exploitation,
and the technological challenges that bring that brings. In the
face of such threats, we have a duty to ensure that the agencies
whose job it is to keep us safe, have the powers they need to do
the job legislation is important. The substance is
right. The time is right. And the way in which it has been
developed is right. It is a properly considered thought
through set of proposals that will help to keep us safe at a
time of very significant danger. It has been drawn up in close
consultation with the police and security services in an open and
free society like ours, we can never entirely eliminate the
threat from terrorism. But we must do everything possible
consistent with our values as
a country to reduce risk. Presumably. It is a struggle
that will go on for many years. And the threat we face right now
is perhaps greater than it ever has been. And we must have the
powers powers powers to defend also
the gate to the gate to the climate gate Yep.
So that's what's going on over in
the well it's going on over here is there's a big debate over the
are our attempts to use social media to fight ISIS. So let's
plays ISIS anti propaganda fail
least 180 Americans are fighting for ISIS lured by its propaganda
machine. This war is being fought online as much as on the
battlefield. But tonight, the man who was in charge of
America's online assault on the ISIS message says that effort is
failing. Margaret Brennan got the interview. With point.
Fernandez left his job running the State Department's counter
messaging campaign against ISIS.
Ooh, counter messaging campaign like it.
Wait, wait since you interrupted the clip. I think you should go.
You open your browser and go to Twitter, tweeter and In Counter
messaging,
the hashtag
is no, no, it's actually a web. It's actually a Twitter account.
It's when a whopping 27,000 or 21,000 What
is the counter? No. What do you call it?
At sign? Yeah, think again. Underlying underline DDoS. Now I
thought when I first saw think again dos as he was some windows
initiative, because some people were staring back the command
line using DOS, or think again because dos is better, but no,
no, that means Department of State is very, you know,
memorable. Think again underlying I remember that
immediately. Yeah. And so there it is. There's
your technical experts with their great Twitter handles.
This is the techno expert, and their actual name is think again
turn away.
Oh, this is so stupid gay men are men perceived to be gay face
grave danger in ISIS controlled territories hashtag ISIS. Yeah,
mother of Canadian man killed for fighting ISIS has, has found
has found they don't they need a copy.
Let me ask you a question about this founds
word. Found she's this. So this
is the best we can do?
Yeah. Well, that's why this guy quit. So let's listen to him
complain the point I made
there. So Fernandez left his job running the State Department's
counter messaging campaign against ISIS last month. He said
the administration's approach was not aggressive enough. So do
you think then that ISIS is winning the propaganda war?
It's not that ISIS is so great, it's that the response against
ISIS is both limited and weak. His staff
of 50 struggled to compete against ISIS, his online army
which posts videos and messages from around 90,000 Twitter
accounts.
There's a fantasy which exists in Washington, which is this,
that somehow if you put magic social media or public
diplomacy, pixie dust on a problem, it will go away.
To stop ISIS. He says the administration must understand
its appeal.
ISIS is psychopathic. But that doesn't mean that the people
that are attracted to it are attracted to it for the sick,
perverse reasons that one of the challenges we face is that
people are attracted to it for what we would call noble
reasons. They will reason Yes, well, we would think of building
things, rescuing people doing something that is larger than
yourself, man.
So they had it. So the way it sounds to me he has already had
50 People 50 People, which is a lot if I had a team of 50 and I
wanted to attack the social media. I didn't go I have
nothing but fun. So there's probably a dozen people maybe
all 50 working on this stupid site. And they're posting let's
see, they're posting here's two hours ago, two hours ago, three
hours ago. So they're posting quite a bit on here. said they
haven't posted for two hours. So what oh, wait a minute. That's
because that's the in Washington DC lunchtime as well. So the
time we're doing this show is right during the break. And it
just probably came off lunch break. So we got three new
tweets live and Okay, so they back from lunch. So obvious. You
can see by the times yeah, they're back from lunch. And now
Nigeria suicide bombers faked fight to attract onlookers. 31
people killed Boko Haram. Hashtag Boko Haram. If I click
on that, is that a whole bunch of Boko Haram hashtag usage? Are
they just making that note? No, no, there should be a bunch as a
couple. Yeah, a couple. So once someone sent us a note which
with a picture which I thought was really important to bring up
about you know, the the ISIS ISIL is advertising whatever we
want to call it fighters. And how most of them are untrained
nincompoops and when they take pictures of them you see there
those are the brown ones. You can see the brown face through
the
mask what does it call a bottle wrap or balaclava? Some Mexican
wrap around Mexican Mills I'm sorry.
Okie dokie every one
of these guys
always have their finger on the trigger continuously. They're
waving their guns around but when it's the fake guys our guys
or z or Blackwater, whoever else has been contracted to do this.
abuse the usually they're white guys. You can see the whites the
white around their you know the faces through their white
fingers through the yet the white fingers and they are all
trained professionals. And they are holding the weapon correctly
with the index finger the trigger finger along the trigger
guard and not on the trigger itself. And this is something
that's
straight out they are pointing with their finger. We need to
keep going and do the image search and looked at terrorists.
And I looked at and there's a There's more than just this
example, you're about to get a knock on the door with that
search, okay. In terrorist images. You think I looked up
terrorists and images and I looked at all the pictures, and
there's like both except there's more examples of the of the
professionals than you think. Yeah. Because I think there's a
lot of these pictures are staged. And I think, more than
just a few, let's put it that way. He spotted that we never
noticed that before. But when you start looking intensely, you
see it a lot, because there's a lot of the and it's just they
just look, the whole thing looks. There's one where they're
all in the proper position with the finger and they're lined up
perfectly and along. I would
like all of our producers to be on the lookout for new stories
and then look at the images. Let's see if we could see who's
who and then what new stories are associated. And we will be
able to track it very well, I think. Yeah, I got a note from
one of our producers anonymous Adam. Dash, of course, is Arabic
rice is God that as a contractor over here in the sandbox, I can
tell you for a fact that we have transported boots on the ground
all over to quote consult on both the Yemen border and the
northern Iraqi border. And he was sending that from the
computer in the in the desert. This is not reported
at all, not at
all. It does flow into this question about the so called
strategy for the training of the Iraqi troops and I am uniquely
qualified to discuss this topic. As in 2003 2004, I was in Iraq
with the Dutch Marines. It was a it was a relatively quiet period
at the time I was in Sumbawa Province, which is south of
Baghdad north of Basra kind of in the middle there on the
western side. But we were taken to a different town or to meet
different tribe tribal leaders almost every single day I was
doing radio show for Dutch radio right after the show that take
us out. There's even a video of me somewhere getting my beard
trimmed with a with the strings, you know that would that crazy?
Where they put the Barber has the strings between his fingers
and the strings are crossed? That's pretty much just pulling
the hairs out braiding. What's that called?
Nothing? I don't know. I don't get keep going.
But we also went to a training camp, as you recall, we were
training the Iraqi security force, we were training them to
take care of their themselves. So I would like training them.
The United States. Don't be a dick. The United States was
training then. Okay. In fact, I'm going to put a link to the
documentaries, a 30 minute documentary about that. You can
see some of this and you'll you'll you'll crap your pants
when you see this training.
Okay, go on. I'm not sure bring this up. I was kind of putting
this off as maybe a catch all at the end of this short set. But I
have a melodrama that I've produced about the situation
currently going on, which is they sent 450 people. So this is
breaking news. Right.
So I just play back background. I'll just play a play a little
background, and then we'll go into your melodrama. Yeah,
you'll do your finish.
So here's the first here's the President what he said.
We've also seen areas like in Ramadi where they're just placed
in one place, and then they come back in another and they're
nimble. And they're aggressive, and they're opportunistic. So,
one of the areas where we're going to have to improve is the
speed at which we're training Iraqi forces.
I gotta say right now, I went to see the training. And there was
a we were the media of this was a little show and it was well
known. And we had sensors who moved really did nothing we
could
do. Let me add to that you were they were on their absolute
best.
Yes. And you know, because we're media, and we had him we were
doing blog posts and pictures that we talked about on the
show, and we had to set the censors gave up on us pretty
soon they had these this before techno experts. And we were
like, Well, what we had our own internet connection, so they
couldn't do anything to us. But yes, on their best behavior,
best show ever. And for those of you who are not familiar with
the television show Dad's Army, you must look this up on
YouTube. And so you have all these guys in a row and they
have their ak 40 sevens. And what's going on here? Someone's
just happening here. Oh, yes, I don't know if someone's calling
me. Someone who doesn't care about the show clearly on their
best behavior or does so they're so they're all lined up in a
row. And then the command is issue about face. I swear to god
half of them turned right the other half turned left.
Before but it didn't none of it's a surprise. I hate
these guys. They can't shoot for shit. That's what it that these
were the highly trained forces that we as s fear the inside as
far as security forces Iraq something or other they were
they've been trained to protect the country. It was it was a
farce it was a huge it was it was completely embarrassing. I
will put a link in the show notes to Operation Iraqi
sunrise, which was what we call the radio show during that week,
and you can see it you can see this training camp, it is
hilarious. Alright, so the President comes, yeah, this was
misrepresented. In the media, I found certainly by Fox News, oh,
we have no strategy for ISIS. Now, that's not exactly what the
President said,
where we've trained Iraqi forces directly and equip them and we
have a training assist posture. They operate effectively
train and assist lies, where
we haven't, morale, lack of equipment, etc, may undermine
the effectiveness of Iraqi security forces. So we want to
get more Iraqi security forces trained, fresh, well equipped,
and focused and present a body wants the same thing. So we're
reviewing a range of plans for how we might do that,
essentially accelerating the number of he said, essentially,
a rocket forces that are properly trained and equipped,
and have a focused strategy and good leadership. And when a
finalized plan is presented to me by the Pentagon. Yeah, and I
will share it with the American people. It's not
all here's the payoff, yet have
a complete strategy, because it requires commitment on the part
of Iraqis as well, about how recruitment takes place, how
that training takes place. And so the details of that are not
yet worked out.
Not yet worked out. Everyone went batshit over this, oh, we
have no strategy.
We don't know what to do. They were probably it was only the
Republicans that went no,
no, here's CNN. Are they Republicans at CNN?
Absolutely not for being with us right now free? I
don't know what's they brought out Fareed Zakaria to explain
the confusion or notable that. Because he's the President's
friend, they drink all the time together root beer, or whatever
they do. Yeah, he was he was flown in to this other program
for CNN, because he's got the message. The US
doesn't have a strategy or a complete strategy to train Iraqi
forces to battle ISIS in Iraq, or that the President used those
words. Again, no complete strategy, because this is
something he was roundly criticized for. Way back in
September. We're all these months later, in there still no
strategy
to the problem. We think of this as a technocratic problem. This
is
very interesting. He says technocratic problem, which
that's part of that's a political term, is it not?
I don't know what it is. I've never heard anyone say
technocratic problem.
Well, in the EU, they talk about technocrats who are running the
EU and yes,
the new vests like the post modern version of a bureaucrat,
right. So he says a technocratic, technocratic
problem. I I translate that to a political problem problem is
this. We think of this as a technocratic problem. Why can we
train these troops faster? Why can we give them more arms? Why
can we you know, ramp up the readiness?
I'll tell you why because they're not they don't care they
don't want to do it that did forced into these camps to train
if they don't understand anything, they they don't want
to die. How about this they stone cop? About face.
Problem is political.
You just see him going every which way we have the legs going
up and down, up and down. Not standing in place.
I think I can I think on the video, there's also holding a
wooden gun, I guess. Yes. I think there's also a present
arms piece in that video, but
your hands are flying, what shoot.
The problem is political. The Iraqi army represents a state a
government that is seen as a Shiite government by the 70s.
Remember the Sunnis
now this is interesting. Whoa, hold on a second. Yes.
Interesting. For some reason that you don't know. Well, okay.
And you might as well play but I don't have it. I mean, because I
my little melodrama I've got so as long as nine clips with with
interludes between each one. But I had this clip what he's about
to say, we're I'm sure it's word for word, what one of these guys
said at in the melodrama, and it was either I think it was
General Zini who said it but it was, okay play play pickle.
The Iraqi army represents a government that is seen as a
Shiite government by the Sunnis. Remember, the Sunnis are the
guys that ISIS draws its recruits from. So if you don't
change the composition of The Army if you don't change the
the, you know, if you don't make concessions to the to Sunnis,
bring them into the government, then you're building up what is
going to be seen by the Sunnis as a Shiite army. So the fact
that you're training them and equipping them all great, but
when they go in there, the Sunnis are going to say, we
prefer ISIS to this. Yeah, but and that's what's been happening
for the last year or two.
But you all I mean, right away I'm sure President Obama even
knew himself that he if he whatever let's shut up stupid
stupid at a but you miss is that he will you miss though, because
we stepped on it. He says the Shiite Sunni issue is a
political problem. No, that's a religious problem.
Well, that has been debated since the beginning of this
whole affair, how since 2003,
I will finish with a 18 second clip, a 32nd clip from Josh
earners, then we'll go into melodrama. Here's Josh on the
from the podium talking about the training, training, advising
and assist operations will bolster the capacity of both the
Iraqi the Iraqi security forces, as well as the Sunni tribal
fighters in Anbar that are operating under the command and
control of the Iraqi central government. And that will
further our strategy to assist the Iraqis as they take the
fight to ISIL on the ground in their own country. And we can
support them by you know, through these missions that the
President has authorized. We can also support them with military
airpower. But ultimately, it will not be the responsibility
of the US military to go in and do for the Iraqis what they must
do for themselves. So
here's what I'm hearing, and then I'll be done. First of all,
we know from Agent Orange, our man on the scene he's been in
Iraq, you know, he's in Kandahar is all over the place, we have a
direct line of communication with him. It's part of what he
does. He's definitely our handler, but that's okay. Bs.
He's all pro military, anti politics, I kind of would
surmise that we have the so called advisors or consultants,
the way it works is they're they're complete warriors. And
they're just saying, Hey, watch how I do this. To these guys who
can't even figure out what about faces. And now we're going to
have air support. In order to use air support effectively, you
have to have people on the ground boots on the ground,
painting the target. So the way I see it is we just train these
guys to go in there in with like a an antenna on their head. We
can just take everything out including them probably.
Well, I think there's an element of that and I think that's what
you're going to be told but I have the the what there's a
story behind there's something else going on. And this This was
a presentation on PBS NewsHour, which I've reduced to about four
or five minutes this is pretty long. Yeah, you've done a lot of
work here long but I cut out these guys going back and forth.
And at first let's introduce the players play clip melodrama the
players Okay, I have most of these windows Yeah, when you do
when you do these. I didn't go back I just started nine. Here's
what happened. I'm gonna tell you I started taking these clips
as well it'd be three or four and then I said oh crap and
there's another and another another and I ended up with nine
clips with the first three didn't get numbered.
Just for future sake when you do this, which I like a lot we can
do this. So you have their own a melodrama but you can do
melodrama dash one dash two dash two. But before you get to the
description of what of what it is.
I'd like to do that. Yes.
Joining me now to review today's announcement and the fight
against the Islamic State. Our former US Defense Secretary and
CIA Director Leon Panetta, former commander of US Central
Command, retired General Anthony Zinni, former undersecretary of
policy at the Department of Defense, Michele Flournoy, and
retired US Army Colonel Andrew Bacevich.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to team from Project fondant.
Now, this thing went on for a good half hour, it seemed like
it probably was 20 minutes very long. But this Bacevich, guy,
the colonel, I was thinking why everybody's a general or
something and the woman's and Undersecretary state she didn't
really have much to contribute except to kind of a bunch of
cliches. But this crime was thinking why did this guy make
general he's got a bunch of books out he's the most ornery
guy says naming ZD is bat nosey. Zini is the general who used to
be CENTCOM. Yes, central chemists guide Bassam Bacevich
your most of which is a colonel and I'm single Why didn't I
believe there's a lot of kernels because you get these guys that
they never good make general because there were troublemakers
from the get go. And they you know, they wouldn't play the
game and he is the one guy in this group that is not playing
the game. That apparently if you listen to this, Panetta is still
playing. He's still on somebody's payroll.
Well, he has the Panetta group. He has a big consultancy
now. He's also good. Yeah. And Brian, I'm sure it's is getting
direct money from the government because he is government. He is
the government spokes hole here telling us that the litany of
what's going on. And he reveals, I think, in this little
presentation, near the end, what's really this is all about
this. Oh, what's the big scandal about 425 advisors? Let's play.
Here's where the colonel jumps in?
Well, I think it's a very modest adjustment to the existing
policy. And the emphasis here is on very modest. The policy is
based on the assumption that we have the capability to create
effective Iraqi forces. Now, when you think about it, we've
been trying to do that for 10 years now. We've not succeeded.
No, and I'm a little bit skeptical that the addition of
450 trainers is going to make that much of a difference. I'm
sure that they'll be able to transfer some important skills
to the people that they train. But will they be able to
transfer the will to fight, which would seem to be the
fundamental problem with the Iraqi forces that have basically
been taking a licking from ISIS
company about Xena Zinni? Zinni jumps in and he kind of agrees
with the curl, and while he's talking, and this is why these
are like little clips, amongst them longer speech. While he's
doing this Panetta is getting steamed up. The general chimes
in. Okay.
Well, I think it's an indication that we continue to
underestimate the capability of ISIS the enemy and overestimate
the capabilities of the Iraqi military to deal with this. The
strategy from the beginning has had several flaws in my view.
Yeah, the guys don't want to do it
several flaws from the beginning getting who's sitting there that
has something to do with those flaws. Yeah. Well, him too. But
Panetta is the one these are all aimed at. Yeah, by the way,
Panetta is really pissed off by the end of this. And they I cut
all these out. But at the beginning of most of these
little spills back and forth between these people that they
started with and Woodroffe jokes about it at the end. They all
started with with all due respect.
I respectfully disagree. You got to help me man because I don't
know right now.
Now we go to. Panetta comes in and with his first bunch of
bullshit, this is melodrama Panetta gets hackles up for
why why shouldn't Americans be concerned that if the Iraqis
don't have the will to fight? Why should more US trainers make
a difference? This isn't just
about
Iraq. Oh, man. He's pissed off here. I can hear it. This is
about a threat to our national security. If ISIS is allowed to
have a base of operations in Iraq, make no mistake about it.
Their intentions are to use that as a base of attacking our
country and attacking our homeland. That's why we've got
to push the Iraqis to make sure that the Sunnis do engage and
that they're armed and that the Kurds do the same
way to me. Can I ask you a question? Yeah, did he just say
that the Dad's Army those Jabra Ionis
the guys in the Hilux Toyotas?
No no that you bronies who are supposed to are being trained
that they're going to they're directly responsible for
protecting the homeland
Yeah, that too but my thing was still the funniest part is that
they're only the whole ISIS thing is to come after us with
their with their Toyota said actually in a better way further
on with the melodrama but it this is like in what their F
fifteens in their in their battleships. How are they gonna
get over here? Okay, so let's go to the next one is clip I love
it. I love it. We use the Toyota was on floats
on floats. Melodrama colonel, the colonel now he's got his
hackles up after Panetta just kind of attacked him, because he
talked longer and he was really attacking this colonel, the book
writer. And so here we go. Strikes Back. Yeah, this is a
colonel retort five.
I think Secretary Panetta is vastly exaggerating the threat
posed by ISIS. The threat posed by ISIS to the United States of
America is actually very, very limited. We probably should be
worrying more about drug lords in Mexico, in terms of a direct
threat to our safety, get him off the air and
get him off here. So he's not putting up with banana. So now
we have kinetic clip six plate prenez coming back.
Well, look, again, I don't think there's any question that our
national security interests are involved here. Otherwise, why
would we even be there in the first place?
Oh, let me think Have turf resources hooker's it's always
the same malady
is that we know how to do this without deploying the 100 and
first airborne, or a large number of brigades there. I
mean, the fact is we're good at counterterrorism. That's what we
did in Iraq. Before we left. That's what we did in
Afghanistan.
Yeah. How'd that work out?
Well, that's what the colonel does. Now we're going to skip
clip seven, because that's the meaningful clip that I'm going
to save to the end and go to eight, which is the melodrama
Colonel Strikes Back, it starts his retort with a laugh based on
what putting into going on and on about how great we are,
why isn't that the right way to move forward? Now?
Again, with all due respect, we don't know how to do this. I
mean, we were in you, the US military was in Iraq from 2003
and 2011. Four years later, we have this basket case on our
hands. So the notion, I think it's important for us to
recognize that there are some problems that American military
might cannot solve.
This is how Vietnam started. In fact,
Zinni? I don't have the clip, because again, this was a half
an hour of these Zinni says this. Oh, really? Yeah,
generals. And he said, This is how Vietnam started, we sent in
some advisors, we sent some more advisors and some feet in the
ground. Next thing, you know, we're in the stupid war, that we
can't get out of it. So he says the same thing. Panetta is not
putting up with any of it, because he's got the government,
the line of bullcrap that he has to deliver. So this is the clip
nine, this is melodrama Panetta Strikes Back.
You know, we've we've learned time and time again,
particularly in these last few years, with crisis after crisis
that if the United States doesn't provide leadership in
these crises, nobody else will, I don't know who the hell he
expects, we're going to be able to turn to to be able to protect
our national security. In this situation, the United States is
going to have to provide that leadership and yes, we need to
work with the Iraqis. And yes, we need to work with other
allies in the region. But we have to provide that leadership.
We can't just stand on the sidelines wringing our hands. I
mean, ask ask the people of Paris what happened there with
ISIS, ask the people in Brussels what happened there with ISIS?
What happened in Toronto, what's happened in this country as a
result of the threat from ISIS, this is a national security
threat, and we shouldn't kid ourselves about
calling the douchebag now within that whole range of things he
was saying I this clip melodramas shorty clip, most
meaningful this when he said this, this Panetta again, I
said, Oh, this is what this is really about. Let's go back to
this old this old scheme
in order to move ISIS out of Iraq and then take on ISIS and
Syria that should be part of that larger strategy.
And that's what it's been about all all along to have a reason
to go and and take Syria take
didn't do that that good. I guess he was talked out of it.
Obama was talked out of the bombing we're supposed to do the
red line, because the red line and all that they just can't get
this out of their crop because they're still Russia and Iran,
Syria, we get it we gotta get them out of there for some
reason, because there's some pipeline coming through. But
that's what this this whole thing is huge. It's like that's
why I've called it a melodrama. It is a bunch of bull crap. This
is all about finding some way to still get Bashir out of there.
Assad
Good job, John. Let me celebrate this work. You did. Excellent
work. Excellent. Excellent. Yeah. Who was who was the
colonel again?
That was Colonel his name was boasts Bacevich Bacevich them
book saying that we soccer Yeah, he
should not get into a hot tub that has a lid that's
definitely not playing by the weather. Probably not a great
idea, rules of the game. And then it was just getting more
read as the thing went on. It felt it was a personal attack on
him or something. I don't know. Well, yeah. His
whole Panetta it's a personal attack on he I think is he has
the Panetta Institute I think is what it's called. Yeah, the
Panetta. Yeah. So he's got a lot of he's got he's heavily
invested in the game. They just say the Ayatollah Khomeini
speak.
No. Well, I
have I don't understand, you know, I know that we have
working on this deal with Iran and, you know, the nuclear deal.
And the the Ayatollah came out and did a little speech and I
have a an on the fly translated version, which I believe to be
the translation that was made in real time and were some
dignitaries who were sitting in the audience. It was a whole
video thing in this beautiful room, or it's not even a room,
it was like a big stadium and it had one of those mega blocks in
the middle is pretty stuff. They got a mega block in the middle
Yeah, of this of this huge auditorium. Kind of like, well,
yeah, I'll have to look
up what it is. There's a name for that thing. Yeah. The next
York Mecca from the block. Here is the translated version of
what he was saying, hey, Yannick Well,
today Oh, see. So the like, are being supported by the US and
Israel. As well as some of the famous Islamic, some of the
movements that are known as Islamic, but they are miles away
from Islamic ideology in jurisprudence. You can identify
and get to know about world affairs and try to comprehend
and identify the right stance now, the same way we say this
savage, brutal. The nice on the same way we oppose it, both Iraq
and Syria. We oppose the brutal acts of the US Federal Police
inside the US. They're both similar to each other. slogan of
death to America.
Death to America. That was cool. He says, The ISIS and Al Qaeda
are run by American Israel. And they're just as brutal as the
Federal Police in America against their own citizens.
Yeah, I'll give us a good one. Hey, man, give me an amen. Fist
bump for that.
Yeah. Oh, no evidence to show he's right.
Oh, my goodness. Ha.
Yeah. Well, they got a clue. We say because we've there's been
plenty of people that have testified that the CIA started
this whole thing.
And we have the document, we have the documents and the
document was the whole strategy
where they were they proposed that was the proposal document
that was the RFP. Yes. That proposed that request for 4011.
Yes. What
can we do? What can we do
and they even named it the enter the Islamic State in the
document and that document was released by a Freedom of
Information Act and it shows that we were we were we were at
least talking about doing this and we did it. And the thing the
other thing that's noteworthy and you've pointed this out, is
that why aren't they like you know, the you know, they want
the all anti Israel.
Oh, you've been why why and terror attacks by ISIS and ISIL
and al Qaeda in Israel? Yeah. baffling. Yeah, it's a stunner.
It's just, it's completely baffling. Good work on that,
John. I like that a lot. That's something we should pull out and
keep for later for for posterity. Stay sake.
Are we ready to leave the Middle East? Bs? I have a note that
came in from our economic hitman. He lives he does live he
must have broken up with this Russian girlfriend Yeah, who was
who was pissed at State Department's
she whatever. She must have been hot.
Russian. Let's see. Yes, Spy hot. They have that theory.
Because our spies aren't bad looking. Generally at least some
of them today is oh it goes on but it's just having a lunch. I
can tell you that the UAE all these this is the only know the
rest of us just personally, talking about watching Mr.
Robot. I can tell you that the USA is pouring money into
Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, but not as much not as much in Chad CIAB
and other neighboring states to forestall Boko Haram ISIS
growth. Now they're doing some of it through us AI D contracts
rather than direct military subsidies, because they know
that Nigeria will just absorb the money without much result.
So it is, I guess, even with the new guy, so it is a feet on the
ground by government contractors, and not the usual
NGO type. That means trouble. Yes, it's the security types
with short hair and serious attitudes. Who you know the
Yeah, exactly. Jackal Z guys, Blackwater those guys.
I'm happy to be in karma on my trips over western over my trip,
you know, very
important, John. Notice he says Burma, CIA and all the guys who
are really on the inside. They say Burma. I got this from Uncle
Don. Versus Myanmar. Oh,
it's fun. I'm sure he'd been there really anal about that?
Yeah, he's it says Burma. And of course, I'm sure he was not
aware of that. That was put I mistake, but he did it. On my
trips over western Africa, he says he's happy to be in Burma
over any trips over western Africa anytime, because it's
better. Unfortunately, I must go or send someone in my place with
someone in his group. Whatever group it is, has to go back to
Western Africa. So he's probably going to
have to go back. Yeah, he's not afraid of Ebola.
die either. I don't think he's commented on Ebola, but he
doesn't seem afraid of it. bolas noses bull crap. Anyway, so
there you go and start with African update. No, but no other
show in the world will give you this sort of information. I
think you're right. We are pretty much. Yeah, we're the
only people that do this thing. As far as I know, if there's
another show out there, I'd love I'd love to know so that we can
listen to it. Get some good ideas.
Only good phones, a landline. And the phone should be made out
of Bakelite.
Yes, everybody has time. Once again for tax, news, tech news,
all the tech Hornies are doing their thing and we bring you
real tech news. You have the best podcast in the universe
because we are uniquely qualified.
I have tech news story. All right,
you may start off the tech news segment.
Okay, so a clip is Apple Music illegal? Yeah, that's part of
it.
Apple music streaming service that the company announced this
week is facing scrutiny in New York and Connecticut, while the
attorneys general of those states are now investigating the
negotiations Apple made with music companies, while
developing the service to look for signs of potential antitrust
violations. Alright guys, read lady
your analysis.
Well, New York and Connecticut are always been the two states
with the strong. They have the strong attorney general that
just goes after everybody for anything that's you look at it
and cross it and they'll sue. And they are the ones who do a
lot of the initial a lot of these initial things like the
when they busted up Borden didn't bust him up. But when
they went after Microsoft, I think it stems from the
Connecticut thing and then other people join in later if they
make headway because they're given a green light within their
own state. And I think they'll probably they'll find something
because I don't think Apple is. This isn't good. This is not
good for anybody. I don't know who is good for except apple.
I got a lot of responses about this is from indirect Oh,
directly from the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference
keynote. Which man, I miss Steve.
Well, the other thing is that this style, I think we talked
about this or Horowitz and I talked about it, which is the
problem. This style of presentation is 1980s. This is a
30 year old style of presentation. Dark Room, stupid
music come out in black. Church, a bunch of shills in
the audience. It's like it's it's like a church man. It's a
cult.
It's very much like a church. And I've always thought that the
that when it's done properly, very church like, which means a
lot of soul solemnity. Well.
There's some problems cropping you sneaking into it. And I
thought up until they announced the music thing. It wasn't too
bad, but they bring it I liked the women they're bringing up
but I don't think they're particularly good presenters
actually
dull. Yeah.
What I what? Something that I think is very bad precedent and
they should stop immediately. Is making Eddy Cue the funny guy in
all the presentations. Look, there's Eddie with a hat. Look,
there's Eddie doing karaoke. Look, that'd be good. I don't
get the genesis of this. Oh, Eddie was Steve's guy. When I
met Steve Jobs for that private meeting was just a
guy expected to take over the company. Yeah, I yeah, I think
so. Yeah. So they're just humiliating him. That's what it
seems
like. But Edie is in the certainly because he ran iTunes
previously. And then he ran the App Store. Now he runs I don't
know, all everything, everything except being CEO. He has some
kind of magical powers. But he is the in the music business.
You know, people suck it off because he makes the deals. So
here's what I understand is going on. Apple is all about an
all out assault against Spotify, of course, and they bought
beats. There's a part of that for their radio thing, which is
it's not radio when you have a playlist, it's not radio, it's a
playlist. Okay, it's not radio. This and this is part of a
larger strategy, which I think is an interesting one and some
probably a very good one. Apple is going directly to the
artists. The difference in money you make through the Apple
ecosystem, as an artist is it's tremendous. It's we're talking
30 to 40% More money across the board that you could make in the
Apple ecosystem, including whatever they're going to do
with with beats. Spotify is really good for the labels. The
labels make so much money on their catalog. There's even
label guys who are saying food, we shouldn't even make new
records. Screw it, why would we waste our money on that?
Because,
right, this is a big deal what you just said, because it was
written up in variety and all sorts of places. And there's one
other bits to this about just drop the musicians.
In, there's one other piece that all of the label heads all have
stock and Spotify, their entire mission is to hype this thing
up, we're going to have a massive IPO, which will be
another money losing company that's going to go public,
they're all going to sell into the IPO, they'll make out like
bandits billions of dollars. And Spotify will kind of die off
slowly, I believe. But the artists are being brought into
the apple fold. And here's what an apple strategy is
interesting. This I watched the kid early
stopping before you go to the strategy analysis. Don't most
artists sign their life away to the labels and they can't do
what you're describing?
Not every deal is standard. So yes. But it all depends on how
many records you have to make whatever your if you have a
multi album deal. But the idea is clearly to get the bigger
artists who have more say and be on different deals, and also
just unknowns, you know, like just anyone who wants to release
something, it's gonna be a better do it. Yeah, the Indies
and the big guys is going to be a better deal. A much better
deal for for them. The end, the Spotify thing is just a huge
hype. As I said to bro all these guys to cash in and make
strategies go on.
Sorry, okay. So outside of that Apple is doing some there's
zigging to the cloud zag. And I like this, they sort of their
spotlight is what I was really interested in. So I I have
spotlight running on on the the MacBook Air that I produce the
show on. And although not great, the improvements that they're
putting in there are effectively bringing all search local. So
instead of using a cloud system like Google, this is a direct
assault on Google. They are. So now spotlight which is in your
Apple's local search system. It's also an iOS for the for the
iPhones and iPads. It is now you know searching through your own
stuff. It is going out there indexing sites, you can use
natural language query. And I'm pretty sure that if it's not
happening already, somewhere in the background, I think they're
going to create a distributed search engine with all of their
devices through their operating system. And I think it will kick
Google's ass long term. And it's not on the cloud. And they
really push the privacy aspect, the security aspect. It's your
stuff. We don't sell it to people, you're saying things
like why would we sell your information to somebody else?
No, Apple doesn't have to do that. I think it's a very, very
good strategy, distributed search,
you're assuming it is a strategy based on your presumption? Yes,
I
think it's a strategy. Yeah, I think it's a strategy. And you
will see spotlight becoming, it's going after Google with
this trend. It makes sense.
We know this for a fact. This is in their DNA in your DNA as
part of their sexuality. Sexuality is part of their DNA
to hate Google because Google stole prematurely the best style
of interface for phones, they move it when the android phone
came out. I don't believe any Apple strategist would. Because
that phone was a revolutionary new idea. For smartphones, which
have been around Microsoft invented the smartphone as far
as I can tell. And they came with his revolutionary way of
doing it while Eric Schmidt was on the board, so he knew all
about it. So give him a heads up over on the other side on his
company. And get him started on this even though I guess, Steve,
and all the rest of the people on the board had no idea that
well, I don't want Google the search engine. Why would they do
a phone? That makes no sense? So let's tell them all about it.
That's had to be the thinking. And that gave Google a number I
mean, way head start on everybody else, because they
probably could start it right within, you know, the the
invention itself, which had to be 2005 2006 timeframe. And they
were so they were just on there right on their tail almost
immediately. Apple should have had another two or three years
to itself to get more market share and to pretty much take
over the smartphone game. But they didn't because Google was
they they believed they cheated. No, they did. I mean, they took
the idea. And now and so Apple was hooked about that. Eric was
fired, thrown off the board by Steve and they just debuted and
he was irked. Everybody knows this. He was mad as hell and
wasn't going to take To get any more, and I think he pushed
that, that concept right into deep into the company. And so
they're out to get Google. Sure. So your theory makes sense from
that perspective.
And I haven't heard this analysis anywhere else.
Now you won't hear what analysis?
Sorry, what am I thinking? And then
look at the size of the screen. Oh,
it's thinner.
It's thinner. Yeah. Oh,
we can do native apps on the watch. I'm puking my mouse
people get tech horny people. And then finally tomorrow,
despite the lawsuits, it has been 60 days since it was filed

didn't. Well, of
course you didn't know that. You're not tech horny
weren't a tech reporters telling us this left and right. Yeah,
no.
Hey, man. First of all.
Only good phones a landline and the phone should be made out of
Bakelite.
Yes, the beaches are back up and moved by Joanie to no agenda.

Mead. I got to know Jen nation.com/rings. And we've been
getting more and more tweets of people showing their
certificate, their ceiling wax, and they're hidden in the mouth
of a signet ring,
which is really pretty.
It's really pretty
it's a lot of people are good photographers. They put they are
present the documentation very well. Got an angle as well lit.
Nice. Very nice. This was a little funny that I just picked
up we often talk about the scam that is Al Sharpton and his was
at the National Action Network. Yeah, I guess you briefly
explain how that works.
Well, the idea is this was perfected this probably been
perfected way before these guys but the Rainbow Coalition for
Jesse Jackson's was one of the better versions and I think it's
probably still one of his best exemplifies scholem Best Game go
into a CEO used to target a company and they have to you
have to find some company that's got like, they don't have enough
black people working there, let's say, and you go and you
meet with the CEO, he said, we noticed a couple of things. One,
you don't have a lot of black people working here. And there's
a lot of people complaining about it, you know, this is my
version, it's probably a lot of people complain about it. And it
might be might cause some protests, you know, we had a lot
of people in our organization when a protest and when picking
your place. I point this out to you. And we've noticed another
thing, it's kind of interesting, you've never donated to our
operation ever. There's no list, you're not listed anywhere. And
I
don't see your name on my call list. And I
just let you know that this is going on, and I'm trying to hold
them back. I'll hold them back. It'll keep this from happening.
But you might want to think about donating because that at
least gives you something you know, some leverage. And they
you know, oh shit, yeah. And they do a check for you know, 10
grand or whatever it is, and then that keeps the operation
going. Now I've heard stories that a bunch of companies have
hired private investigators and they're not putting up with this
crap, right because it's extortion, but it's kind of
legal. And they there's stories where Jackson walks into a CEOs
office and the guy shoves an envelope over to Jackson got
pictures of his mistress and Jackson just gets up and leaves
there was a black preacher on I forget his name but will be
mentioned the beginning of the clip on Greta Van Susteren show,
she has the most peculiar mouth. She had
a lot of work done. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah, no, she was
very rageous ly not fit for television law. Oh, if for Fox
and so she decided that she knew she was days were numbered as
she got older. So she had a lot of work done and it kind of it
was there was a shit crap job.
Yeah, certainly. There will be some bruising for three or four
days. Really? It's not going to be that bad. So here she is. And
this guy was. I like it. I like it when people come out and just
call it the way it is. And particularly if they get
exposure, obviously on Fox. It's much easier.
Pastor Marcus Mosiah Jarvis joins us. Good evening, sir. I
read that you accused Reverend Sharpton of being a pimp.
Yes, that would be the
case. So what happened?
Well, we were having they were holding a stop violence rally in
Hartford, Connecticut. And I, I guess his invite was supposed to
bring some attention to the plight in the city of Hartford.
But once the rally in the march was ended, there was a gathering
at Shiloh Baptist Church and there was a offering or a demand
for money. And I thought that that was hypocritical and
contradictory to the cause. How are you going to ask a crime
riddled neighborhood that's impoverished $400 each donation
and without cause it didn't say what the money was going to be
used for. And so I thought it was pimp isn't at its best but
resist
we must we must and we will much about that be committed
pimp ism at its best. Nice nice somebody another thing that
happened that was really nice to see was an only this kind of guy
can do a Jerry Seinfeld you probably saw this
I don't know if I have Oh, okay. This is driving around in cars
with a geek No,
no, he was on what is it? One of the Kimmel?
I have not seen it curious Seinfeld things young people
today are
sorry that's not the this this is the clip by what can we go?
Comedy is I do think is the you know supposed to push the line
push towards lines the medium there are more people now. Who
will let you know if they think you went over the line than ever
Don't I know. I mean, you have to feel the same way about
comedy.
Yeah, but they keep moving the lines in for no reason. Right? I
do this joke about the way people need to justify their
cell phone. I need to have it with me because people are so
important. But they don't seem very important the way you
scroll through them like a gay French king
that's very offensive to the girlfriend.
There I did this line recently in front of an audience, you
companies where you can kind of feel like an opinion. And they
thought What do you mean gay? What are you talking about gay?
What do you think gay? What do you what do you do? What do you
what do you mean, you know? And I thought, are you kidding me? I
mean, we can't even you I could imagine a time and then this
isn't seriously I can imagine a time when people say well,
that's offensive to suggest that a gay person moves their hands
in a flourishing motion. And you now need to apologize. I mean,
there's a creepy PC thing out there that really bothers me.
It's called Cultural Marxism.
I'm happy he did that. Guy. Let's good joke. Yeah, boy,
especially visualize a French king. You know, it's just like
it's one of those types of games. Yeah, it's more I can see
people here's Mr. President get hissed.
Yes, he can't. He can't even do college shows anymore. Then Then
he said
uh, yeah, he made a lot of other comics have commented on this,
that they can't do Comic Con.
Actually. I think I have Mars the last guy that can
do college Oh, yeah,
cuz they're all in with him here. I think this is I wasn't
gonna play it. But this mentions the college thing just from the
today's show. I believe
Jerry Seinfeld thinks young people today are too politically
correct for his comedy. He says this time there is something
wrong with that. The former sitcom star is raising some
controversy calling out Millennials Oh
controversy. Calling out Millennials controversy. Noodles
boy,
being able to laugh. The 61 year old comic legend said last week
political correctness is running amok among young people.
I don't play colleges, but I hear a lot of people telling me
Don't go near colleges. They're so PC. They just want to use
these words. That's racist. That's sexist. That's prejudice.
Seinfeld famously avoided vulgar and offensive humor. But he was
criticized for the lack of diversity on his long running TV
show as well as his web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
which featured no women and just one black comic during his first
day you go Seinfeld address that criticism and a CBS This Morning
BuzzFeed Bruce segment last year
with CBS News This Morning BuzzFeed brew. What the hell is
that?
I have no idea
or is that criticism in a CBS This Morning? BuzzFeed Bruce
segment last year.
To me it's anti comedy. It's more about you know, PC
nonsense. Then are you making us laugh or not?
I'm glad he's that he's saying that.
But he's you know, somebody's I'm sure a lot of comics feel
the same way although many of them especially the ones that
were that appealed to the millennials get extremely
raunchy and some other you'd think non PC wise. He's always
been a clean comic. One of those guys. He doesn't do booger and
dick jokes. He doesn't do it doesn't you know, say, you know,
fuck fuck constantly. dickory dock. And you know, and he can't
even you know, he gets everything he does. You know,
the guy does. The stupid thing with the comics and Cars Getting
Coffee. Which is on crackle. I think you can get it on the Roku
box if you dig around, which is quite funny. Like it's funny. He
gets a various vintage car and he goes driving around with some
guy. He said, Tina Fey on he's had heart. The black guy was
very funny. Who learned it?
That's the only one only one black comedian you're no good
Jerry Seinfeld. You're a bigot. You're a racist. You hate women.
And in fact, that is not true. He always had hot girlfriends.
The whole show was based on him running through girlfriends.
Yeah. And then finding some little things that says sexist
pig that he couldn't take stand like the bigger hand Girl and
The Big hand grip toothbrush or like to sit around naked was one
of my favorites. And then he decided to run naked she told
him not to. And
so while we're on the kind of cultural Marxism, which is
pretty much the stifling free speech was the idea. Yeah, that
is the idea. And we had a another controversy erupt
spontaneously over Reddit, Reddit and now being run by
Ellen Pao, who is the former Kleiner Perkins associate,
who sued them banned last couldn't last big time as
she is now the CEO of Reddit. And they have decided to ban
certain subreddits. And I have two quick clips. He was on NPR
just so you can hear a little bit about what they're trying to
do. It's? Well, it's all in the words, really, this is about
harassment of people. And when a subreddit will be closed, if
we're under the following conditions.
question is whether it would make them fear for their safety
or the safety of those around them or where it makes them feel
like it's not a safe platform. So somebody's expressing ideas
that aren't consistent with everybody's views is something
that we encourage. There are certain posts that do make
people feel unsafe, that people feel threatened
a post that makes me feel unsafe and threatened
or they feel that their family or friends or people near them
are going to be unsafe. And those are the specific things
that we are focused on today.
This is what she's talking about. Our
sites goal to be a completely Free Speech platform, we want to
be a safe platform and we want to be a platform.
Just roll that back again, just listen carefully to what she's
saying, here
we go leave free speech.
Little more, I want to hear that whole sentence. Come on pow,
here we go
pick things that we are focused on today. It's not our sights
goal to be a completely free speech platform. It's not
our sights goal to be a completely free speech platform.
We want to be a safe platform, and we want to be a platform
that also protects privacy at the same time. Okay, now I
read the blog posts and the rules, etc. And they keep
there's a very subtle difference, instead of talking
about, which is interesting. She said here about free speech, she
talks about free expression, and this folds back into the
yelling, you know, like, free speech is is not free speech. If
it's unless it's an expression, which I think one day will go to
the Supreme Court or for some bizarre reason. So they talk
about it being free except your free expression, which is not
the same as free speech. It's also free expression is not in
the Constitution, free speech is in the Constitution. And this I
think this is well, you know, people who will censorship now,
it's not censorship, they're not the government, none of that.
But it is very telling as to where we're headed just in the
free speech by moving it over to free expression. And then she
had that line at the end there about your privacy. Be I want to
be privacy. Oh, really, Ellen Redditors
users can be anonymous. Doesn't that mean that someone who is
contributing harassing material whom you speak with even can
keep doing it under a variety of pseudonyms?
We have ways of finding them and we have ways of looking for
repeat behavior, or we have ways of making use of talk methods of
coming to our site that can help us track down the anonymous
users who may try to create fake accounts. Well, how
is that privacy? We have ways of tracking you down
as a follow up question about what about somebody using double
VPNs
we have ways of getting the Tor exit points it's not a problem
we have ways of finding them.
Do not scum like you you go to your daddy Satan anytime you
want. I'll never join you. You understand that filth.
In there it goes. Now, I have one clip left that I have a
couple of cool stuff but I only have one important clip and I
didn't think it would get any worse but I thought this was a
great clip because it embodies a cutting two themes. It's a
twofer. Okay. This is the Pfeiffer it gets worse classic.
I don't know if you've heard this before. We've heard about
FIFA. FIFA FIFA FIFA there. It's I just I just said Wow. Ready?
Yep. Yeah. Oh in the ongoing FIFA bribery scandal,
former vice president Jack Warner has been accused of
diverting funds intended for victims of Haiti's earthquake.
72 year old is alleged to have diverted $750,000 in emergency
funds, funds that were donated by FIFA and the Korean football
association for Haitian earthquake victims. According to
a BBC report, Warner and several other FIFA officials have been
charged with running a criminal enterprise show.
Isn't that great?
That's fantastic. No, of course not. Fantastic. Well, I don't
think I can,
which is rotten to the core. Yeah.
I don't think I can top that, John. Yeah. I think he got me on
that one. Okay. Wow. Yeah, we'll see what else comes out of that.
I'm just scanning through the last things. Let's see, Tony
Stark is has filed to provide internet service from outer
space. Yeah, you would probably get the broadband subsidies for
that. Well, let
me play one more clip then. Alright, so I'm watching this I
think CBS or it's one of the networks. And there's this guy
that new correspondents trying to make a name for himself. And
he's doing this report. And so they throw it to him. He looks
just like a skinny version of the rock. Okay, the actor Yeah,
yeah. The rock. Yeah, it was his name. Yeah. Rock.
Did that movie do anything is these earthquake movie? I don't
know. I haven't heard is probably
Florence. And here he is. So he finishes off his little intro.
And mispronounces the app. Absolute last word he's got to
say here.
Investigators are following some 500 leads including some new
information as you mentioned, that authorities are concerned
those inmates may be headed towards Vermont. So tonight
officials are stepping up patrol I was worried that these
dangerous men are getting even more desperate.
I'm desperate I tell you. That's what kind of acts you John.
You're desperate. Yeah, that manhunt is why I
make these sorts of clips. It's just a ridicule, ridicule.
That's what we do on the show.
We do that a lot. Yeah, we do we do we ridicule
the theme of the show. It's just something we do. Yeah, the
whole manhunt thing is ridiculous.
Oh, that I didn't even want to get into it. But that's, well,
what
guys what they are doing is and then once again, citizens are
all in the cops are actually used to do the Department of
Correction, cops. They're walking around, tell me hey, can
we search your house and people like shoe? Oh, come on, and look
at my house and see what comes in?
Yeah, they should say no, yes, of course. It
should say no, but you know, you're gonna get oh, you have
something to hide. Oh, you got something to hide. We should
have a car outside. Make sure that you got nothing to hide.
No, this is that this part of the problem with that? Yeah. And
those guys are gone there. They probably hit you know, they're
all thinking they're headed north because one of them has a
relative in Buffalo. And I'm thinking these guys are smart
enough to get out of that old prison. Yeah, only people ever
they went straight down to Mississippi. Or not looking down
there for him or
or there'll be in one of those vacation houses and they can
firebomb it like they did
with that cops at one guy. Yeah. Be cool. Yeah. Or burning down
or kill them?
Yeah. Do you? Just quickly, F Russia stuff. They're big anti
government protests in Ukraine, which is not be it's completely
underreported. I didn't have a clip. And interestingly enough,
we don't see Victoria Nudelman out there handing out bagels or
cookies or whatever she was doing last time. So I'm pretty
sure regime change is on its way for Poroshenko. We've been
following that, too. We got a story that part two of the
story. Also the President signed a continuation of the National
Emergency for the most dangerous country. We have a national
emergency. And finally, let us know Hold on. Oops, I hit the
wrong button here. Let me just see he wrote it down national
continuation. On so on June 16 2007. Is executive order
3040. Okay. The president declared a national emergency
pursuant to the international economic powers act to deal with
the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security
and foreign policy of the United States constituted to the
actions of policy of certain members of the government of
them I gotta tell you yet and other persons to undermine the
democratic process and institutions manifested in the
fundamentally undemocratic March elections 2006 to commit human
rights abuses mean this is a horrible, horrible, horrible
country. Can you guess what the country is?
Scotland, Belarus, Belarus and the only reason why Kazakhstan
or whatever that one really bad countries over there because
we're in bed with them
are the only basis and the only reason for this is for Putin is
pipeline. Oh, right. That's why Bella Russa is dangerous.
Yeah, just Yeah. always on the lookout for Belarussians to come
by and you know, throw rocks at the house.
And then and this will be my last bit continuing in viewer
initial analysis of the macaroni and cheese. Which of course is
shepherds in the second Great Depression,
depressive depression food depression food.
There was a mac and cheese festival.
Yeah, they have bands.
Well, it was in Toronto, and headline how mac and cheese
destroyed a Toronto neighborhood. Oh yes. On Sunday,
residents of the quiet Toronto neighborhood of Liberty Village
woke up to an apocalyptic scene. piles of trash were strewn about
with an unsettling charity Chenery smell to the air. But
Liberty Village wasn't looted nor was at the site of an attack
by some paramilitary dairy men instead, it was struck by
Canadians Savage, insatiable craving for mac and cheese.
served the problem started on Friday. They fought they thought
5000 people would show up. But uh, apparently the the
depression is so large and so close. So close upon us. 46,000
people showed up.
That's good. There you go. There's your viral invite.
And yes, the event brought together 23 chefs from across
the city to pit their best mac and cheese dishes against one
another to be judged by the public for grand prize of
$5,000. Apparently the public is more than willing to do so
according to some reports, garbage half eaten remains of
cheese and macaroni littered the streets vomit. Vomit everywhere.
Mac and cheese vomit the worst.
Mac and cheese, mac and cheese. I read
this in fact, is mac and cheese vomit worse than any other type
of thinking about it. All right. I think that I think I think
we're done. Okay. I think so. Yeah. Thanks to all right. That
was fun. Thanks for that melodrama. John. Good work on
that. I really appreciated that. Good work.
Had to cut it down somehow. rockin it.
Okay, buddy.
I'm off. I'll be making a beeline for Irving, Irving,
Texas.
How far drive is that?
Probably three and a half hours. Maybe? Yeah, three and a half
hours I think
kind of be last Sunday's good tentacle, Texas.
It's a great time to take a drive. Already, you're working
on anything for somebody that you know of anything special?
Not No, no, nothing, actually, that I can think of. I'm gonna
go watch television and find something to work on. Good.
