You to me? It's the handshake of the devil. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak,
Sunday February 21 2016. And time once again for your chemo
nation media assassination episode 801 This
is no agenda lifted my head
up from the Secure Enclave I've been studying all weekend and
broadcasting live from the capital of the drone Star State
Austin Tejas, FEMA Region six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where I'm wondering, Why
is he shouting I'm John C. Dvorak scale.
Because I have some very important information to convey.
That's why I like this like what? Well alert the affiliates
I'm clip light clip like today.
Why would the affiliates care?
You're right. I'm saying it for you.
Production Production, I can get plenty of clips.
Because Thursday, we had democratic Town Hall, we had a
GOP downhill record in the town of downhill, downhill. downhill.
I recorded both, but I was really into the apple thing, and
we'll talk about what to do right now.
A lot of funny clips because I looked at I looked at these
things.
It was so boring, John, I couldn't bring myself to watch
it. Did you watch any of this stuff? It's so bad
guy. few miscellaneous things I let other people watch. So
boring, man. Yeah, very boring. I'll tell you something. There's
a couple of things that struck me. One was that the the Wall
Street Journal NBC Wall Street Journal, Maris, these different
polls, and anything that involves a Wall Street Journal,
these polls are garbage.
Oh, yeah. This was the big one that said that Cruz was ahead of
Trump.
Well, that was that. That was that was the one that everyone
just said, Oh, God, let
me just let me just understand. So what I saw is Trump won with
the magic number 33. And then it was Rubio, Cruz with 22 each.
What happened to the poll, the poll that was clearly way off?
Well, does the Wall Street Journal go back and say, gee, we
have to go recalculate or look at what our polling is.
Well, everybody wanted these reports. These polls to go that
way. Let's listen to the eighth this before the election. This
is ABC reports on the polls. And you can see what they're trying
to do here
breaking developments on both sides tonight. In South
Carolina, the Republican rumble and the new poll tonight, Donald
Trump at 28%. But his lead not as large as before Ted Cruz
closing in five points behind their Marco Rubio in third with
15%.
So what are the Rubio's got 50? They're way off these polls the
day before the election. They're not even close. These polls are
bar bogus. Yeah. And ABC. ABC and NBC both were all in on on
trying to indicate that Trump was fading and perhaps could
lose.
Now, John, this is NBC News in the Wall Street Journal. This
cannot just we cannot let this slip by without saying hello.
Either your polling is off significantly, or corrupt,
corrupt? Yes. And where is everybody on this issue? No,
well, you know, they don't want Trump I there's a couple that I
got a variety of disjointed clips. Good. Which means I can
go just about anywhere I want. But this Trump thing this was
the the the and I think the best clip them is just kind of jump
ahead. Now. We'll go back to some more of the stuff on the
polls, but what they're trying to accomplish, but let's go
jumping ahead to this one clip where Carl Bernstein was on CNN.
And when Bernstein I read it when he comes on he's from
the famous Bernstein Woodward the Watergate
waterboard big so when he's on you listen because he's he seems
to be no see
the CIA guy or is that the Woodward's? The CIA guy, okay.
He's the
CIA. They'll tell you this. Bernstein has all of a sudden
out of the blue. He's got the CIA white hair. And so I don't
know maybe he's that's a dead giveaway. It's just it's you
know what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah, the CIA white hair. So
what colour is your hair these days? John.
Sorry, what colour is your hair these days? It's it's the same
goes always been sent. Carl Bernstein summarises and
predicts so let's listen to this because this is I think this is
right on the money exactly what's going to happen
in the Republican race but even proportional delegate, you know,
allocation of South Carolina Donald Trump won them all he won
at least 44 Looks like he's gonna win 50 delegates in South
Carolina, everyone else gets 00 delegates out of South Carolina
and that is that's a big result for Donald Trump and if he can
continue anything like that, you know, Nevada is Tuesday, it
looks like he's doing well there too.
And again, the calendar and the nature of the states ahead on
Super Tuesday are a big advantage for him. I talked to a
major Republican office holder in the Bush administration a
couple hours ago. And he said, Look, you got to look at this is
Trump having a 75% chance of getting the nomination as a
result of what's happened here. And at the same time, there is a
real movement now that we're gonna see to stop Trump, among
the so called, it's a very loose term, establishment figures. But
you still can't see absolutely how Trump gets a majority of
delegates going into that, into that convention, there could be
a deadlock convention, in which case, you could see someone like
Rubio and Kasich, for instance, coming together at the
convention with quote, establishment Republican
figures, trying to keep Trump from getting the nomination,
giving their delegates and votes to each other. And having a
really exciting convention. You could see a ticket perhaps with
Rubio and Kasich, some kind of different form, but we're gonna
see now a huge stop Trump effort in the media. As David Gergen
was saying other weekend, it was saying earlier, we're going to
see some real serious, we're overdue reporting on Trump,
we're going to see Republican regulars at this point, take out
all the stops to try and halt this train, because they see the
destruction of the Republican Party ahead. And also, you know,
we've ended the so called dynasty of Bush tonight, and I
think we might see Bernie Sanders start to make an
argument that says it's a time that we end all these dynasties,
including the Clinton dynasty, because in a way, he too, is
this outsider who has a chance to start a movement he has
already that could keep going. But he's got to come up with
some new angles to keep moving on what he had before his
momentum was broken tonight.
So the thinking here is that the media is going to take Trump
out, is that what they're planning on?
Well, that's going to have to be the media, but it's going to be
at the behest of the Republican but that's not going
to work. This is this is not their field anymore. They're
wrong. I think Trump beats them in the media every time no
matter. Well,
this became I didn't clip this whole thing because it went on
with another debate because a Trump supporter, one of the
campaign people or other were was there to argue with
Bernstein saying he's been asked a lot of questions and he's done
a great job with the media, manipulates them, and Bernstein
mentions that well, that he says he's talking about reporting,
not interviewing, he says, Yeah, Trump is a kick ass interview,
because he you can't beat him. But and I think we're just
seeing an element of that the one this clip here, which is the
Howard Stern clip. Yeah. Was Was I think the first kind of salvo
trying to like bust Trump on his bullcrap. And this is Trump and
stern clip.
I have not is this Trump on stone? Or is this just starting
out here? It's self explanatory. Trump now under
fire for his frequent claims. He
is the only Republican candidate who oppose the war in Iraq.
I was against the war in Iraq. I said, it's going to totally
destabilise the Middle East. I tell the truth about Iraq. I say
the war was a disaster. We shouldn't have done it. We did
it. So I should get points for vision because I was totally
against the war in Iraq. But today, Trump
confronted with this recording of a 2002 interview with Howard
Stern, are you for invading Iraq? I guess.
You know, I wish it was I wish the first time it was done
correctly.
On the stump that candidate trying to explain
and the first guy ever asked me about Iraq was Howard said, I
said, mine or Yeah, I guess, then I started looking at it
before the war started. I was against that war. I was against
that war. I said, Don't go to Iraq. And I said it strongly.
And I said it loud.
But Trump's campaign, unable or unwilling to produce any
evidence that he was ever a vocal opponent of the war before
it began?
I see. I don't think this that the voting public cares about
these stories anymore of the year of the flip flopper that
was, you know,
I agree. I agree to some extent, but that's not the point. The
point is that this was at least an example of somebody digging,
oh, they haven't been doing and digging up an old clip from 2002
is actually a lot of work. Now, I suspect that somebody in
Stern's office, yeah, did this Fred, pull it up and said
it had to be Fred.
Right? It was, I don't know. You whatever the case, there will be
a lot of these things cropping up now and again, just kind of
rattle Trump now. Now, there's a little kicker in this that I'm
not too sure about one way or the other. But they say well,
Trump can't prove it. You know, this is what the ABC guys you
want to On can't prove it, or maybe ABC. And it's possible
that Trump can prove it. And he wants to save that. I mean, this
would be a good political move is to actually have evidence of
something that he's pitching about this war. Well, early on,
but
he's had it in his book, and he's had his newspaper articles.
He's had quite a bit of exposure about his stance at the time.
Well, while we're on this topic, I need to read an email. If you
don't mind, no. Okay, from Frank Mancuso, which is a fake name.
That's like a name, dude's name Benyus when using a fake
account. A few things I want to clear from listening to your
show. I do not like Islamists. I despise them. But what about
those refugees? What do you what do they do to you? Is it human
beings, you're talking about not animals. For someone like you
that gets annoyed with waiting in line at the store, which I
can't remember. I would like to see you and your me. I would
like to see you and your family without food, water or bathroom
for six months. Think about that. Okay, I really liked your
show a lot before you both turn to Trump as kissing agents. I
mean, come on already. Every episode goes on and on. Are you
getting donations from his supporters? Trump already has a
hot girlfriend. That takes care of the BGA. So please take his
dick out of your mouth is disgusting. Yeah, yeah. You
know,
I don't know I need to some people just don't listen to the
show. No, they're not
listening to the show that's listening to the show. It's
annoying.
It's just you you listen for codes or something. And then the
codes aren't the codes. Yeah. But you know,
it's the guys in Brooklyn. So he's got to be a Hillary bot.
Everyone in Brooklyn. Oh, a Hillary. Yeah. Hillary plot. As
far as I'm concerned. Brooklyn has now Hillary territory. Yeah,
that
was it shouldn't be Bernie territory. But it's not. Can I
do a
little entre mom before we continue that just because Jeb
Bush dropped out. yesterday.
He brought his mom to introduce him to the last event.
This guy's really pathetic. And it was kind of heartbreaking.
His little
felon. Yeah, I said this on the show before I don't think he
wanted to job. I think he just took the money. Yeah, he was
insincere. He'd had no, Trump was right. Everything he
criticised him for. He was just out there doing it, because
somebody told him to even though his mother said he shouldn't
run, somebody told him he had to run. And so he obliged. And
that's the end of it. I'm
proud of the campaign that we've run to unify our country, and to
advocate conservative solutions that would give more Americans
the opportunity to rise up and reach their God given potential.
But the people of Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina
have spoken, and I really respect their decision. So
tonight, I am suspending my campaign. Please quit. Yeah.
Yeah. I like that. Yeah. Yeah.
No, no, because he had the the group that was the losers. He
had the most of the group and in case it's just staying in, even
Ben Carson staying and everyone staying in. He got out of the
first opportunity. Let's hear we had the money. I want to hear
him cry.
Yeah.
Yeah. Well, talking about
getting you're interrupting his crying moment that it was over.
Oh, he's about to cry. He's about to cry right here.
Poor guy, well, you want to see something that's even more
pathetic than I think, is this bit that I saw a Kasich pool.
And this was this was played on the Today Show. And this is the
case. You'll see a case take case which case by case it's
case it hugging the hugging. Incident. Oh, what is this all
about that? Okay, so today's show, they played this thing,
and they had Charlie and Nora i and what's her name that CBS
This Morning? Even not the Today show? Yes. Right. Right. Sorry.
Yeah. CBS This Morning. I gave it today.
After several months of three by three gets confusing I
understand.
So the drama, see the morning show on CBS. And the three of
them. They're all taken aback by this whole incident. Here we go.
The New York Times reports on an emotional moment during a
campaign stop in South Carolina from John Kasich. Brett Smith,
the University of Georgia student told the candidate
yesterday, the case a campaign gave him hope. Over
a year ago, a man who was like my second dad, he killed
himself. And then a few months later, my parents got a divorce.
And then a few months later, my dog got run over. My dad lost
his job. But and I was in a really dark place for a long
time. I was pretty depressed but I've found hope, and found in
the Lord and in my friends, and now founded in my presidential
candidate that I support. Dan, I'd really appreciate what are
those hugs you've been talking about? Okay.
Call the crowd. He's heard a lot of voters feel
we need to slow down. Because there are not enough people who
are helping those who have no one celebrate their victories.
And we don't have enough people that sit down and cry with a
young man.
Fred says Kasich is a uniter and thinks he can win the
presidency. This is something Kasich talked about when he was
here. Yes, I hadn't seen it.
That's it. He's talked about the hug as well. They're really
befuddled. Well, that's right.
I mean, a hug at the right time at the right place when the
right person from obra can be a game changer on Senate until you
sent it around yesterday. And I think that's the kind of message
more people need to hear right. Very touch and
also to make it more than just policy. That's right. It is
about people in all dealings.
Touching one of the very genuine,
why don't just this you just give him the crown in the sash
right now.
All right, well, you should let him talk without you stepped on
the end. But I'm sorry, what did you say? What did they say at
the end is just as they're going on and on and on. But But what's
good caught my attention. Was that just a casual remark by
Charlie, about the hugging? Yeah, he talked about that when
he was here. And then she said, yeah, and then they kind of like
agreed upon that. But then one of them said, but we didn't get
to see it. And then they get to see it. This is rigged. This was
like so stage. He set it up. He shows up at the shed to show so
yeah, I like to hug people. Okay, great. And then a guy come
on a country, a country crying like a baby up there. So and
these guys are all pre selected. Let's face it. We know this.
Yeah, we saw you.
In fact, there's a report now that every single candidate has
been hiring actors. There's this couple of agencies, and you get
paid 50 bucks to you know, to sit in the background there. And
you know, we're holding up the sign Trump has done it Clinton
has done everyone's done it everyone does it, of course. So
yeah, this is and they they're given scripts to speak at town
halls.
Did you know The kid is up there in tears. And then case he goes
and gives them a big hug, which lasts for kind of uncomfortably
long. And then case it goes up there and he talks about there's
nobody there to cry with this man. And it's like,
did he brushes tears away?
It was just like, rigged. It was like staged to an extreme. And
then when they played it on the, the CVS folks played it, and
they were all oh my god, that's so nice. So it just, to me, I
had to be honest about it. And it'd be kind of glib, I don't
want to be too glib. It was sickening. Yeah. And it was more
sickening to listen to this analysis that supposedly
analysis we're getting from the CBS folks who didn't notice the
coincidence that case they can said that he gives these hugs
and then all of a sudden there's a hug clip Gee. I did does this
guy think he's gonna get any votes? This reminds me that
we're talking about guys not gonna get votes from the average
Joe. A here's a clip. This is the reason I would never vote
for Ted Cruz in a million years. i By the way, I will be voting
for the Libertarian candidate as usual.
Is that going to be Gary Johnson? I don't know yet.
They're they're doing a debate. There will be a debate on I
think
they do it every year. It's on it used to be on crackle, crack.
That is the part that is sickening about this process
that if you're not in one of the two big parties, Republicans or
Democrats, you don't get you don't get to be on TV. And
that's why there are kids growing up in this country in
our country who believe we have a two party system.
Now, this is the this is what bothers me. Here's Cruzan in
South Carolina, and this is the way this is the way his speeches
go. If I want to elect a preacher, I want to have
preacher as the President of the United States. How Kobe or
Huckabee Huckabee Yeah, Uncle V. is smarter. He's sharper, he's
funnier. And he doesn't go off on the deep end all the time.
Like this guy does. This guy. I wouldn't vote for I don't see
how anyone can vote for him. He is wearing his religious and his
religion on his sleeve it This is horrible. Who's best on
the economy is Trump.
Voters here live with modern growth that is leaving some
behind. So there's
a piece of the state is still catching up and the cut and sew
textile plants have shut down and closed and those jobs have
gone overseas. which plays right into the message that Donald
Trump is delivering about trade about jobs and about China.
Meanwhile, Ted Cruz is counting on help from the state
evangelical
Father God, please continue this awakening. Continue the spirit
of revival, awaken the body of Christ that we might pull back
from the abyss.
South Carolina is pivotal because of this done that one
before he's already done the from the Abyss bit the abyss,
this is an old bit, he's just replaying old bits is body
crying, I find it offensive that we might
pull back from the abyss. South Carolina is pivotal because of
the count. And
what's the difference between him saying we'll pull back from
the abyss and Barack Obama saying he saved us from the
abyss is the same thing. Only Obama is talking about the
financial crisis and Cruz is talking about some Carolina
is pivotal because of the calendar. It's no more
on that clip. Okay, leave it anyway, so that guys, you know,
I'm surprised and he should he should eliminate himself but
he's not going to endorse now. There have been I think five or
six states suing Cruz over his Canadian citizenship. Yes, I
had. This was instinct. This is instigated by the Democrats,
as as Trump predicted,
as Trump predicted. Hilarious.
Let me see I have which lawsuits Do you have? There's a couple of
them.
I don't have any of them. I
don't have any I was a main one.
I think New York's one of the states.
Yeah, I'm looking at this real second. I just want to know
who's really who's leading it.
As always, elite status did typically lead states or New
York or Connecticut.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, and he may you may have a problem mine we don't
know.
Well, I hit think is real problem is that he's too
religious. He's just not sincere. And how does religion
here? Here's a question for you. Religious people feel about the
fact that that Cruz is the one that is photoshopping all kinds
of false images. Such as well, there's handshake between Rubio
and Mo Bama, which everybody was all up in arms about I
haven't. It's not fun. It's so there
is a saying. There's a picture of Obama and Rubio shaking hands
and some implication that the two are in bed or that well,
maybe literally, I didn't get that out of it. But turns out
that it was Cruz's campaign. It was a smear campaign against
Rubio, and the photo was photoshopped. It was a couple of
instances of this. How does that jive with his Christianity and
his do good nature does seems not appropriate. Right. And the
funny thing about the one, which I saw a picture of he's got the
two of them. And I don't know maybe it's subconscious somebody
came up with this idea is a good idea. Obama and Rubio are
shaking hands with their with their right hand or the left
hands. Who so it's a left hand
shake. Is Rubio a lefty?
Well, we know Obama is I don't think Rubio is but if you're a
lefty, you don't shake that way anyway. No, but
I the reason I'm saying that is it could be like, you know, like
a secret lefty handshake. Oh,
you to me. It's the handshake of the devil.
Here it is. Marco Rubio is a lefty.
Well, lefties, don't do this. You do if you're at all though,
it's just stop stop. Stop.
Stop. Wait a second. How do you know that? You don't know that?
No. What do you don't know that lefties don't have some secret
handshake when they recognise each other? Yeah, I do know
you're no you don't
need it up. No, there is no look it up see Find me some
documentation for this or is it that secrets? Okay, well it by
the way photoshopped picture so
secret left and I'll do lefty and shake elites. Illuminati.
Okay, let's see what ha ha It's the scalp handshake. He has left
handed handshakes. Uh huh. I think this needs some research.
For mob for the story of the mob secret handshake. Oh, gotta look
into this. I know Tina is a lefty. I'll ask her. I'll ask
her to lead
me into the CLI lefties in the story here today.
Let me let me into the club baby. Well, of course. Of
course, if you are in an Asian country, you always shake with
your left hand you always eat with your left hand. Not all
Asian countries. But in Thailand.
I've been all over the place that I've never seen anyone
shake with their left hand they usually bow huh? You may be
wrong on that one. No I'm not okay. And besides that the left
hand the suppose that the thing is you always eat with your
right hand because your left hand you will wipe your ass
with no you do that with your right hand.
You know wipe your ass with your right hand you do everything you
know yes hand is the wiping the ass hand know what you were
wrapping your hand with your right hand I use the shells
toilet paper like an American I use
the shells i Well, I'm you know, it's not that important for
right now. But I do think I need to look into it.
Yes, you better Alright, let's go on. Let's let me try to wrap
this thing so we get caught up. So here's another example of the
media bias. This is let's go right back to a Katy turd.
Sorry. Yeah, it's
like you'll just score eight me for for Can I wipe my ass with
but do you will make a poop joke about a journalist good one
John, a woman no less good work.
This is this. South Carolina. This is her report on the day
before the election, again, promoting the idea that Trump is
fading. Of course she and Trump had out. They've had it out.
Yeah, she insulted her in public. And it I don't know why
she didn't take it out of the package that she produced, but
he insulted her. And she left it in the package. I don't know why
but she did. This was early on when he first ran and nobody was
taking him seriously. And he was a clown and a jerk and, and all
that sort of clown car is here. You know, that sort of thing. So
let's play. Number one.
Number one next Saturday, the 27th for the Democratic primary,
a timeline that is ratcheting up the urgency in both races. We've
got both races covered. Let's start tonight. With NBC is Katie
Turner. She's in North Charleston forest. Katie. Good
evening. Lester.
Donald Trump has just taken the stage just now less than 24
hours before this state votes. And there are indications as you
said that this race could be a lot tighter than many had
previously suspected Donald Trump losing his commanding lead
as Ted Cruz tries to replicate his win in Iowa. Donald Trump's
sounding confident boisterous crowd in Myrtle Beach, but the
billionaire is still on the defensive now.
Okay. In there that was how it ended. Yeah. Like he's on a
defensive Alright, go to clip to the second part because there's
the element I'm looking for
a new NBC News Wall Street Journal Marist poll out today
showing his lead slash
every time they do a poll, I have a lousy poll.
One potential reason Trump's accusation during the debate
that George W. Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction.
sources within the campaign told NBC News Trump has been warned
to ease off both my advisors and even phonebank volunteers who
were hearing negative reaction from voters about his attacks on
George W. Bush was office crews in second punching up and down
mocking Trump with his own words,
but it's easy to say. Let's make America great again. And print
that on a baseball cap. But the question to ask is Do you
understand what made America great in the first place?
Linking Marco Rubio to President Obama and a new ad
Marco Rubio burned us one.
Trump is he gives Christians a bad name. This guy is creepy. He
yells he screamed. Overly you have crews over the Trump. I'm
sorry. Crews overly fanatic.
Yeah. And then he's over modulating to such an extreme
that even the NBC you know, experts. Can't they have to use
that clip?
Yeah, Dad. Subtitles captions, I'm sure. Yeah. Well, I got a
little bit of news on the election tip. So I got a note
from one of the millennials, who was always now trained to be on
the lookout for stuff. And within the millennial sphere.
You know, here's what I got. There's a big movement preparing
people for Bernie's loss, and people saying that you need to
vote for ah and I'm training her to be you know, because I said,
Well, this is very interesting. And I actually sent this clip
I'm about to play. And she said, Wow, well, actually, I'll tell
you what she said after after the fact here is, here is
Hillary. And so again, as I go down this list of messages,
because here we go. Big Moon preparing people for Bernie's
lost people saying you need to vote for Hillary. Because
Bernie's numbers don't add up. That is the quote that I got.
And then I hear this clip, Senator
Sanders said that he would raise taxes on any family that made
250,000 and above is that
your level 250,000 Well,
I've said I will not raise taxes on anybody to 50 or below. But
here's the problem with Senator Sanders plan, his numbers don't
add up, there is no way for him to fulfil the promises he's
making without raising taxes on the middle class. So this is
the talking point, I had to explain it to him because she
came back and said in this text message, well, I guess Hillary
was listening. No, no, it's the other way around. This is the
Hillary camp planting shit into your little college network of
communications. This is what they do. This is how everyone
does it. And it's sad that that's not recognised. It is
exactly the same
nice by the people that listen to our show.
The people who don't listen to our show,
I say to anyone who listens to our show, yeah, recognises these
talking points as they emerge. Exactly,
exactly. But then Hillary made a big cock up on what was this was
this. I think it was CBS and you have to look at the video,
you've probably seen it to see her face when she realises what
she's done. which strangely enough, make sure actually
really likeable and human, even though the reason why she's
become human for a second and she realised she messed up when
she said this, you
know, in 76, Jimmy Carter famously said, I will not lie to
you. Well,
I have to tell you, I have tried in every way I know how
literally from my years as a young lawyer all the way through
my time as Secretary of State to level with the American people.
You talk about levelling with the American people have you
always told the truth.
I've always tried to always some people
were going to call that wiggle room that
now you can see your eyes going oh crap escaped
her. So always try.
John Carter said I will never lie to you.
You know, you're asking me to say Have I ever I don't believe
I ever have. I don't believe I ever have I don't believe I ever
will. I'm going to do the best I can to level with the American
people.
I didn't the cookies. I didn't take him. It's not me.
Like a little kid to have but that's bad.
That's worse than the barking as far as I'm concerned.
Bart as was yesterday had I thought it was a bad play when
she was in doing the caucusing floating around Nevada and and
she had a big crowd that actually she was pretty much had
the crowd in her in her in her grasp or hint. And then she kind
of the crowd turned on her. Yeah, I
saw this. I know it's clip it is
borrows caucus.
Senator Sanders wasn't really a Democrat until he decided to run
for president he
doesn't even know.
You know, last two Democratic presidents. Wow, true.
What was he then what was it
he was an independent? Okay. And he was in the Senate. He was was
one of the parties and then he turned independent so he can get
on better committees. Yeah, right. And then he stayed
independent. He ran as an independent but he's always been
a socialist Democrats as socialists so anyone doubt his
credentials as a Democrat if he wants to be a Democrat call
himself a Democrat. There's a book by the counter that by we
had to play the Bernie clip. This is Bernie's kind of
humorous, and this is the thing that he's got. He's got to do
more of this sort of thing. Because He's almost like a stand
up comic. When he does his storytelling. This is Bernie
tells the anecdote is similar meeting Sanders drawing laughter
after this woman
Gloria Steinem everybody knows Gloria is one of the leading
feminists that America made me an honorary woman many many
years ago. I don't know exactly what accepted me But Bernie
Okay. paid me an
honorary woman as pretty sad. Here I have the after Susan
Sarandon ins beautiful intro to Bernie Sanders
on sold and pure
that I sewed,
opportunity to make that man our choice for the President of the
United States. Just wanted to hear it again. It's change is
difficult. And what this man is asking of us is to be the
machine now. I give you Bernie Sanders.
This should line her up with that kid, that was the Kasich.
She needs a hug. But Dick Van Dyke was on the Chris Matthews
show. First of all, Dick Van Dyck looks great. He's 90. He
looks no 60 I got to know what his secret is. A guy looks
fantastic. And he weighed in on the The Socialist thing which I
thought that interesting perspective, I just picked Van
Dyck, you know, I have heard all kinds of things that he's a
douchebag but you gotta like him, just for I know I like
Mr. Van Dyke What made you come out? Come out, come out the
other way. But I made a danger command so much for Hilbert for
Bernie Sanders.
Well, I mean, I love the little flub there for what made you
come out for Hillary and what's in the script, Bernie Sanders
had so much for Hilbert for Bernie Sanders.
Well, having campaigned since Eugene McCarthy, so I'm 90
degrees, 90 years old. So I like to give a hand to young aspiring
politicians like Bernie. Bernie has lit a fire that's been
lifted a lot of times over the last 100 years, but always got
sidelined or squelch. But somehow Bernie has caught the
eye in the minds of young people. And I think this time is
going to happen. We're gonna put him in the White House. He is
he's a New Deal Democrat, I was there in the 30s. In the 40s.
Bernie is a New Deal Democrat.
So you don't think you don't think much of his self
description as a socialist democratic socialist, that isn't
that means to you just Liberal Democrat?
I don't, I don't think young people are bothered so much by
that word of socialism. I used to be class along with cognition
and Nazi and fascist, but socialism has a whole different
connotation. Now, thanks to countries like Sweden.
I don't he must be banging some hot Swedish Jacob, that all of a
sudden, but there is there is something that needs to be
discussed briefly. That whenever this the the topic of Bernie and
democratic socialist or socialism or anything comes up,
I keep reading everywhere we will Social Security is a social
programme. Have you liked socialism? I think I need to
disagree that Social Security is a socialist programme. It's if
anything it's a capitalist programme, or am I completely
off base here?
I would think you're off base but you could probably make the
argument I think it's an argument that could be made and
it
just deferred payments. I mean, you know, you put money in you
never get out what you put into it, but it's deferred payment.
Just like a saving programme.
So you're forced insurance. Yeah, it
is insurance. But I don't know the socialists does just that
because it's a lot of money let me finish let me do it socialism
means the government controls production. The government
controls socialism. Okay, well then there's I don't have I
can't refute.
Okay, well, they work on it but I think it's a debate I'd love
to have
in the future you're saying social as Social Security
socialism No, it would be it would be that way if everyone
got the same Social Security the same amount
No, it's just still socialism. It's just not perfect now but
Medicare for sure.
You don't pay for Medicare.
Well, you do you pay a token amount. You've got a Social
Security and you
get a token amount back that sounds about right.
You don't get token back.
All right. I'm not going to argue I am going to
well it's just going to look into it is what he self
described and it's not a big deal and nobody really cares is
I think you hit the nail on the head or somebody you are JC one
of them. I think you did on the show like three shows ago but
something he'd say to which is the only reason people are the
kids are all in on as far as the free school
and I and I knew that Hillary would once she won. I knew that
she would start Weasley and I'm Bernie's territory now she's
she's a little flake She's not saying free school, but now
she's saying we have to make it so that you don't pay any more
than you can afford, which is kind of what it's supposed to be
today which is not
well, I'm I'm assuming that she's got the same approach that
Bill Clinton had
stopped for one second John. Chat Room. This is a
conversation we talk about stuff. Okay.
This isn't a chat rooms complaining.
He still see Daniel you doing he said you know what? Fuck you.
I'm out. Goodbye. Idiots. can't stand it. You can't say anything
without people. This is what the whole world is like this.
Everyone's so Bob was so much better than everybody else.
Can't even bring up a conversation.
Anyway, let's continue this thing. Where it was, I don't
know. But I wrapped it me and I lost my train of thought because
of the chat room. I had a profound thing to say about
socialism. No, but the kid know about the Clintons. Okay, a
socialist. You got it. You're back. The Clintons steal ideas.
Oh, yeah. Oh, of course, anything that worked and they
would take well, you know, the Republican ideas and call them
their own. And I'm surprised that Hillary hasn't taken all of
Bernie's ideas and just said, yeah, got a good idea. I'm all
in on it. Free education for everybody.
Yeah, that would be great. That's what she needs to do.
That's all that counts. If she can come up with a way of saying
free without actually being free, that would work too.
Well. Yeah, it would be free to do Obama's thing. Just promise a
bunch of crap before you get elected, never execute any of
it.
I got a lot of email, by the way about this. This. First of all,
I hope you saw the animated GIF of Hillary talking on the bomb.
When she's coughing like this. I sent that way
saw the GIF, but I didn't see the animated.
So I was thinking about this. And I got a lot of interesting
emails. One is, and we have doctors, plenty of doctors who
listen to the show. This her symptoms of what she displayed
on stage. Of course, it could have just been, you know, a very
bad cold. But I got several I have several doctors, some
veterinarians to saying she has possibly COPD or even worse,
chronic heart failure. And this is exactly the type of symptom
you'd see. Chronic Bronchitis emphysema. The airways that
extend from the trachea into the lungs become irritated emphysema
occurs when serious damage is done to the tiny air sacs. And
someone else said she might have like, not whooping cough with
barnyard cough or something.
Oh, yeah, there's a barnyard cough. It's called it's got a
name. I can't remember what it is. And she's been flown around
Iowa. You can get it there. It's a swine flu. She's going to
having a Jaime's in barns got the
swine flu is what she got. But what surprised me is here's a 69
year old woman, and she's hacking her lungs up on stage.
As I was listening back to the show, I'm like, Why was there
not a single person who gives a shit about this woman and says,
Hey, Hillary, are you okay? Come up on stage. Hey, let's just
give her a second. No, none of that. Is everyone afraid? What
is going on? That everybody hates her like, Oh, good. I
can't wait till she'll drop. Just drop dead hack up a lung
and die. It's what it seems like. There's got to be RNC reps
has gotten But where's Uma? Where's Uma?
Yeah, well, we should have rushed up there with a glass of
water or
something. Yes, her body man. Yeah, exactly.
No, um, well, we've seen this before. And people I know.
They're coughing. They're there. I mentioned in the show, which
is the guys tearing up up there and nobody brings him a tissue
or a guy's nose, a guy sniffling that he has his nose. He's got
to wipe his hand over his nose because he's got no one where
somebody with a tissue. Exactly. I mean, you're up on stage with
a bunch of big I know of one thing that it does happen when
you know, I've noticed this. A lot of people are afraid to rush
up on the stage.
I was just about to say this is still some very strange leftover
remnant of people having respect for live television, which of
course is completely unnecessary. Oh, it's on
television. Oh, no, we're on television. Oh, you're
right. I think that's that may be that too. It's very afraid to
do that. Because maybe there will be scolded.
No idea but it's bizarre. It's bizarre.
And over and over, I'm seeing more of it. And I don't care
tissue, where's just a cup of water? What does it take to give
a guy but some water
and I really don't care too much about Hillary Clinton, but just
from just from a human being perspective. You know, come on
people being strange, but she's not beloved inside her own camp.
Well, I think she's mean. So here's another thing that gets
her to go. You know, we hear about up to her being mean and
she hates the Secret Service and she'd be rates people and she
gets all worked up. Where's the video? Where is the audio tape
of this? Is it somebody? Are we saving it for the election?
videotape of what? of Hillary blowing up?
Yeah, may not be there. I don't know. There has to
be. She's surrounded by people constantly. There's got to be
somebody with a pair of glasses that records everything or
somebody with their phone recorder turned on. I mean,
there's no way you can get away with being a complete jerk,
which is what they describe her as especially the Secret Service
people without having some evidence of this.
Now she bet she runs a tight ship though. I'm pretty sure
stuff doesn't leak out easily from her camp. Yeah, No. Anyway,
so there's there's another debate tonight there's
this is such as a town hall tonight and there's no debate on
Tuesday.
It, it's annoying, it's become unfun we need, you know, we need
to do something. I mean, even the Supreme Court thing has kind
of fallen off the fallen off the radar. Yeah, I agree. Although I
did catch this, Jeff release where
you go off topic. I want to extend this just for one more
clip. Sure. Maybe too. But this was a clip I just I only want to
play this clip. Because to remind us both and the audience,
a very important fact that has cropped up because of this
election. This is a very short clip where they on CNN are
discussing how Bush just quit, bailed out. And this is the bush
quit. And there's a comment on the on the 150. But just a
casual comment was made
as well. A very bad night. For him the end of a long road for
Governor Bush, Athena, thank
you so much. $50
million. If you had to pack up definition of war chest on
believable amount of money spent for a campaign that really never
got off the ground.
What happens next all of that? Where was that? 7.8% in South
Carolina? Where did that where does that support move?
Okay, then the remainder is 100 Citizens United Koch brothers.
Oh, these guys are gonna buy all the elections. Yeah. This guy
had $150 million, right from the get go at 40 million in one
Chessy had a pack a huge super PAC spent all this money got
nowhere. So where does that argument that we're going to
continue to hear on Democracy Now. And everyplace else about
about Citizens United?
Well, we have now we have three examples. We have Donald Trump
self finance, we have Bernie Sanders, although he's not
entirely truthful, because he does have a PAC, at least one
the nurses union, giving him millions of dollars. And exactly
as you say, there's all this money went into Bush, where is
it? Where Where's where's the results? It's not true. At least
not this election cycle. And in general, I call it Moneyball.
But I'm not going to do that anymore. And it is probably kind
of the wrong analogy. But all I it's so cynical. The news media
is just blatantly saying well, if you have money, then you win.
If you have money, then you know you got this money that day that
because the money is going to them. Sadly, that's how you will
hold Citizens United is a scam is all about the media. And it's
crazy
that it's so blatantly it's so in your face. It's so obvious
how this works. Yeah, yeah, well, it'll take a billion
dollars, whoever's gonna win, it'll take a billion. It always
does.
Well, we'll see. I just have the one last clip. Okay. And this is
the clip, which I thought was interesting. One of the more
entertaining clips, but actually, there's two clips. One
was a woman. There's a woman that talked about the polling.
And I thought this is just a clip to scold people. And this
is the where's the polling?
Poll, poll, watch poll watching pulsating polls sitting poll
watching and who to vote for. Yeah, that
vote may not go to the candidate they want, but rather the person
they think can win who any of you believe in the polls. What
are the polls tell you right now?
Well, they're telling
me that probably going to be between Trump and Cruz. I was
really liking Ben Carson. But otherwise, I don't really think
he's going to do so. Well. Anyone
are influenced by the polls. You may not vote for him. Right.
I think it may be
a wasted vote.
So I may go elsewhere.
I can't help it. I'm looking at who has the best chance of
winning.
Yeah, exactly. This is what it is. Who has the best chance my
vote won't calm. It has become so cynical. So since this
is pathetic. This is not the way you're supposed to vote,
but also I somehow just these people sounded like they're
under 30.
You know, these are all 30 ish. Yeah.
The polls have become like this, you know, just like big data.
Like it's fact like 97% of all scientists agree, you know, it's
just become one. Oh, well, the poll, the poll must be right.
Whereas we know the polls are only probably what what the NBC
News Wall Street Journal poll was about was getting some of
that Cruz cash.
Yeah, before while he's still in the race, trying to
get some of that cash out of him. It's so cynical, it it
really is very cynical.
I feel it just that people should know that you vote for
who you think you want to be there even though he's in long
shot. Yeah, of course, that we make. That makes it clear to the
people analyse the votes. So a lot of people like this guy.
Yeah, if you get that kind of, you're not you're not hired to
be strategist is not it's above your paygrade have no pay. Let
me strategize this out well if I vote for him it won't be a vote
last and I think he has a better chance of beating so and so and
all that sort of thing you just vote for you're supposed to vote
who you feel like voting for you don't strategize your vote and
part of a part of the this I'm calling it a distraction because
we know that nothing is really final until we have the nominees
from the conventions. But if you know the super delegates left
and right and Debbie Washington Nick knock shows up and she
explains it again and again it's explained it to Rachel It's if
Jesus nauseating yeah
so Scalia is a funeral was over the weekend President did not
attend which of all boy everyone's Oh, so horribly,
didn't attend whatever don't care what was really offensive
with JEFFREY TOOBIN who, he's kind of the go to lawyer, I
guess for CNN. He's one of them. He's a douche. And so they're
doing live play by play of Scalia's funeral,
polite play, but
yeah, live play by play coming up to the green Well, it's even
more listen to what this is listen to listen to what this
aihole says. So the guy's dead. You know, he's heralded by a
large percentage of the country. As you know, a great guy. The
other half hates him wanted him dead. Apparently, mainly
Democrats. They were quite vocal on Facebook. You know, they even
stuff like more more Republicans should go to Texas and stuff
like that. This is really quite low. But listen how far Toobin
went.
Many of Supreme Court law clerks go on to prominent positions in
the legal community in that group. Among them are possible
Supreme Court nominees themselves. People like Paul
Clemente, who clerked for Justice Scalia. So
you see, all these clerks are standing outside, you know, kind
of like an honour guard for the for the for the justice.
He was President George W. Bush's Solicitor General Jeffrey
Sutton, another prominent judge on the Sixth Circuit Court of
Appeals is there. Paul Cappuccio who was the General Counsel to
our parent company, Time Warner. Time Warner is is in that group.
I think you have to say as you can look an overwhelmingly white
male group Justice Scalia hit almost all of his clerks are
white men as you can see in that group Why
don't you say he was racist or not hated women hated blacks
hated brown just a horrible aihole unbelievable the guys
it's his funeral as you can see he was a racist that nothing but
a young white boys maybe it was a homo. I don't know. JEFFREY
TOOBIN one and aihole
believable
that that's just really really good. Get dick. No one pushes
back.
Nobody pushes back on anything
imagine Oh, there's John C. Dvorak. Yes. He was great. As
you can see, he mainly has white male friends. Yes, we're so
yeah, yeah.
Lots of fun with him.
Yeah, what is wrong with him? Well, with that I'd like to
thank you for your courage and passion send you love and light
and say in the morning to you John C with a C stands for
Caucasian DeVore ek
Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry. Also in the morning
all ships and sea boots underground subs in the water
day, all the names of nights out there.
Hey, in the morning to everybody. Oh, no, I don't say
that. They're there in purgatory chat room purgatory. No chat
room. Thanks today. Thank you to our artists. We had Hassan
Maynard who brought the artwork for episode number 800 which was
a was a nice piece. This was the record. It was vinyls got
a lot of compliments.
Yeah, it was the vinyl ball though. Someone said what a safe
piece of art you chose for Apple and others had nothing to do
with Apple. Apple. Yeah, the people thought that we had
chosen this safe piece of art for Apple. Now the apple arts
800 got to do with apple that was just safe. It was safe. I
don't know. I'm done with people complaining at me I've got
enough to deal with Yeah, I'm I'm a little crabby about this.
Yeah. Yeah.
Just saying yes. The night of candles didn't go off
the black coffee in bed was great but the candles didn't
just just didn't work you're that that's probably what got me
off on the wrong foot that comment alone.
That would do it.
But I do want to send everyone to no agenda art generator.com
That's where you can submit your artwork. And we appreciate all
of the work that the artists who all artists and even though Nick
didn't get our 800 or the iTunes I do want to give them a quick
little promo that Nick the rat now is doing rat radio you got a
nick the rat dog calm. They listen to any one of those
shows. So, it is the trippiest crap I've ever heard really? Oh
my God, he's plays like this loungy techno crazy music and
then he he's just like you'd like to read sing through it
like going to the moon little space elevator
not to mention them as I read this note just from Gary, Nick.
Listen to
you actually thought of you I think you've been on the streams
I would probably like it. Probably my Yeah, I enjoyed it.
It was very trippy.
I just like to let you know that I've set up the perfect
subscription 3333 That's less than $3 to three pounds I guess
that's show yeah. So great value for the money that in my in my
opinion. So great value. My a friend of mine and I were toying
with the idea of starting a podcast. But then we heard yours
and realised that we simply couldn't compete. Oh, no, that's
not true. We listened to the seed man, but couldn't stay
angry for that long. We listened to freedom, freedom fiends or
something for free. I know what that is. And I should I don't.
And question whether we were weird enough. Well, maybe Nick's
gonna take that play. We listened to the survival podcast
and realise that we couldn't afford to survive. So he gave so
he gave up before we started that's he's now working on logic
to important Belgian beer in Britain as my home brew isn't
enough. Well, I can do it my news blog edit other.me Anyway,
so I just
like you you just started breaking up John for some crazy
reason. No, man, I'm not sure Well, keep an eye on it.
Sorry, there's no reason for it to exist. It's because
somebody's trying to interfere with my reading of the of the
donations. That will be it. All right. Well, this was Harry's
razor. They don't want you to do donations.
I got a note here from where's my note from Alyssa. Here it is.
This is Alyssa Carnes. I guess. It's your last name
Karuna yeah called Karuna as soon as Karuna Renault's Coronas
Bruno's she's in Allentown, Pennsylvania. $543.23 for three
to one nice buy for three to one she's got got it on the ball.
She said she sent in a handwritten handwritten long
hand note. I've been a douche bag for too long. Please accept
this first time donation with a D douching. Of my horrible
passive bystander bourgeois self. I listen to his show
passively in high school, and now as a college student, I'm
hooked. She's a college student. Wow, she can write in longhand,
and she gave 54321 I've been meaning to hit my sister in the
mouth. But I've been feeling too guilty without donating myself
being in college with this. You don't have to donate to hit
someone in the mouth. So just but it's okay. It's good. Being
a college student in the blue state of Washington. Having
grown up in a purple state has really tested my nerves. You're
the only people that bring me sanity and honesty are an honest
conversation right to doubt about this crazy election
pageant. Hopefully, this money reaches you on the Sunday after
your 800th show. As you have said donations tend to taper off
after significant days. She's smart. Congrats on 800 episodes
wishing you all the best and she has a PS I'm a vegan. Who went
to a performing arts Charter High School man I'm more than
willing to answer any questions the no agenda world might have
about either of these things. Anyway, thank you.

going looking through the for the other clip for the Korean
lady, and my keyboard is kind of down on the ground. And I guess
I kicked up against it. And it was in that cell and it just
erased everything and put a bunch of us. So I actually
pushed my foot up against the keyboard and it erased that
cell. It was much okay, I understand what

well received a jingle bombed and bombed them jingle with the
rock music in the back we played at the end by the way, and evil
artworks was once to select it he had artworks liked it. also
enjoyed back listening of the old episodes starting from show.
Encourage people to do that. I can only recommend that to
anyone who loves the show. It's fascinating. Oh, if anybody
let's see what was it again? I'll think about it later. But I
have a request for anyone who pulls the stunt you know and
starts listening from the beginning some stuff to look for
so I can find out what show was in Yeah, in other words, you
know, I'm saying yeah,
you don't know you know why? Because I'm looking at his note
and this is so much he wants to see us
it's just give them a deed douching and a Memphis he
doesn't he doesn't know he has he's very clear in his note he
wants douching then who knows what is good for I have no idea
what that means. Hey, citizen chemtrails in the morning, the
scream Hey citizen chemtrails in the morning the scream. Okay, so
hey, citizen you've been de deuced you've got karma. Thank
you. Quite a lot to do here.
Yeah. But thanks, love Berlin and we'll
be seeing you at the door it at the knighting ceremony. Oh,
so you're gonna go to Berlin? Yeah, I'll
see you in Berlin at the knighting ceremony. Exactly. He
also has a birthday though. I see. Geez. Thanks,
jelly. He looks he's on there. Is he on the birthday? No. Okay,
well, you put that on there. I read the white chick in Dundas,
Ontario, Canada 200 bucks. And he's got a birthday shout out of
which we have listed it's already good to go. wants to go
to his brother Doug's knighthood that you have to keep the
accounting my friend and thanks for hitting me in the mouth last
year to I guess to his brother, can I get a D douching and fear
is freedom. Thanks for all the great laughs Yeah, thanks so can
we go you've been de Deus Do you must acknowledge
this is not a good day it's hilarious though. It's not
hilarious. Far from it. Patrick Dixon is trip back to this world
got karma
blame it all on AJ of the One Tree Hill.
I'm not sure why this note didn't show up and his birthday
didn't show up and all this stuff. So it just makes a little
more complicated. Doing stuff on the fly. Okay, we're good. We're
back. Here we go. Are we done? No, we have no we have more
Geron headings your rune hooting, ha, you rune lifting
fat guy. put things in Athens Georgia. 200 bucks. ITM and
congratulations. 800 shows is nothing less than impressive.
Keep it up. You're direly needed these days. Please accept my
support and send me some generic job karma as I need to extend my
current contract as a jingle I'd like some NO NO NO NO NO. Song
ISO. Sir Iran is no
no no song Iso I have no idea. I got a song. Okay. You know what?
No no no, no no.
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
He's better known as Sir Iran hummus. Okay. Gotcha. All right,
we're done.
Excellent. Well, thank you to our executive producers of
episode number 801. That's right. 801 episodes going
strong. Also, thank you to our Associate Executive producers.
These are real credits. You can place them anywhere credits are
recognised your LinkedIn your IMDB, or like the douchebags in
Hollywood, we will gladly vote for you. And please remember we
have another show coming up on Thursday, on Thursday, on
Thursday to vote red.org/and A little bit of help, you know,
failing here at the bar to go out propagate the formula. Our
formula is this. We go out we hit people in the mouth as
citizens
Wow. I'm gonna celebrate. I'm gonna celebrate you're
celebrating one.
Oh, no.
Oh, well, Not. Not. Okay, uh huh. How's that for
entertainment?
That's top notch, Johnny Boy, that is top notch indeed. The
first a Oh, actually, I had a couple of PR mentions. We have
two meetups taking place. We have one coming up in San
Francisco on February 29. So go to meetup.com/no agenda, find
out about that. And it looks like we have a Fayetteville meet
up arranged. As Tina, the keeper and I will be going to
Fayetteville, Arkansas after the show Thursday evening. And we're
taking the air stream of consciousness. I'm not quite
sure yet where we're going to be parking. But there will be a
meet up and looks like we already have 14th and 15th Human
Resources registered for that. So that's very cool.
And don't forget to always ask enemy and get a tour. Yeah, it's
a tour of the trailer or trailer please if you bring any notes or
anything you want to share, put it in an envelope with your name
on it. So we can we we can talk about on the show. And details
to follow. All donations should be in an envelope as well. And
we'd love the cards. We'd love the little cards that people
send with us. Perfect. Also shout out to mountain vor talks
MT and vor to x who is also now working on keeping our
infrastructure up and running with Void zero. So we appreciate
the work he's doing. Just more people helping the bed pop best
podcast in the universe. So also Dame Angela Castaneda. She was
all gung ho on your call, she organised the the tour. The last
tour we
did Oh, yes. Right, the complex tour the complex tour, you went
up and down. Yeah.
And she said, Hey, I will be more than happy more than happy
to do anything you need to get your campaign going to. But I
really done some research. And it turns out yes, I could have
my 500 signatures. If I wanted to run for Congress in the 21st
District of Texas. However, you need to file your intent by
December 14 of the previous year. So we're gonna have to
wait two years on pissed off. I was so sure. I didn't have to.
That wasn't a requirement, but it is. I know. Oh, I know. I'm
disappointed too.
Very, yeah, this is bullcrap. That the file intent, like a
year over a year in advance.
Yeah. December 14 2015. Yeah. Yeah. Now I'm disappointed.
Because they were there were people showing up who wanted to
get signatures and well, it's okay. If we're still around, God
willing, then we can always do it for the 2018 cycle. Those we
stay at it when it's 18. Thank God. We didn't even think that
far ahead
will be after the depression so you can get probably a lot of
support then. Yeah.
All right. Do you want to talk about this apple thing? Because
I did a lot of a lot of work.
Yeah, my as well. Good. Trump wants to boycott apple. Yeah.
So there's a couple things going on here. And and one thing that
really struck me just it took me a while to kind of figure it
out. Because what is really odd about there's a couple things
that are odd with this scenario. The first one is the very
strongly worded public statement from Tom Collins cooked him
thing, which really insinuated that the government wants to put
a backdoor on the eye font, which is technically now we know
now from the court documents and I can see now that you know,
finally Ars Technica EB slash DOD, and you know, some people
with some actual technical skills came in and said, Hold on
a second, this is not exactly what is being asked of Apple.
They're being asked to do something else. And so I spent a
lot of time conversing with dudes named Ben, looking at
another small anomaly which, which popped up about the the
iPhone in question belonging to the dead, San Bernardino
Bernardino shooter, that the password reset had been
requested. And so there's plenty of there's some annoying things
about that as well. But the first thing, what I really
realised is that, and Tim, and I'm gonna say, Tim Cook. A guy
like that doesn't make a public statement, unless it's for the
company at the end user. You said maybe he just lost his
cool, I don't think so. And companies like say that he did
you said he probably lost his cool and didn't check or
something. Yeah, it was something. It was an odd note,
an odd letter. But Apple, you know, companies like Apple,
these multibillion dollar companies, they only do things
for one reason. And one reason only, it's for the health of the
company. So you may think he's a big patriot, I'm not so sure.
He's doing stuff for the company. And what I realise is
you're really going into scattering
so patriotic, they bring that money back into the country,
they have like trillions overseas. Well, there's
exactly what I really expect. If this were an eye and ran novel,
you know, then we would see Tim Cook closure this close the
company, closed the company and disappear
and go live in the Grand Canyon in
the Gulf and Gulf Gulch. Now, just briefly, from the technical
standpoint, what is what is actually being asked is not a
circumvention of encryption. And what what I'm seeing with Tim
Cook's message is he is obfuscating, intentionally or
not obfuscating the obvious security hole that Apple has
created by default in its systems, and that is the
passcode. So when you have an iPhone, and I believe it is
still standard to have a four numeric digit passcode to get
into it, two things happen when you enter the correct passcode.
And this happens in the so called Secure Enclave a bit I
really which is hard coded into the chip. And there's there's a
lot of cool stuff they've done there. And it's kind of like if
you have just presume every everything on your on your
iPhone is encrypted. And it has a big master key and a big lock
that you have to have the right key and insert that and then you
can turn it. But the passcode that Apple has implemented,
which also is a part of crypto technology is extremely weak.
But it is intended to turn the big key. There's two different
secure enclaves and different things happened. That's how you
can or cannot load software do certain things. But having a
four digit passcode, which is very convenient for people is
inherently insecure, because it only takes about 10,000 guesses
to figure out what your passcode is. And Apple, of course knows
this and they did two things. And this is the part that I
didn't realise you can customise your passcode onto your phone
with six digits, you can have any random number of digits or
you can have a complete alphanumeric string, I think as
long as you want it to be. And the longer it is. And there's
also a lot you know, there's a lot of crypto things you can do
you know, certain certain characters, and that will take
longer for brute force cracking to take place. So Apple
realising that they really don't have a secure environment.
Because once you can go in and start hacking again, basically
using a brute force crack, which is the same that would happen if
the FBI or NSA had one of your emails, and you had it
encrypted, they would if they really wanted to find out what
it was they would have to go into a brute force crack mode.
And it takes time to do that. So what Apple did and then went off
and claimed are we can't do anything, it's your data, we
have nothing to do with it, you know, we it's your secure, we're
all we're all good. Because the four digit passcode is so
inherently insecure. They built in a number of tries you can
have which is 10, before the device erases itself if you have
that setting on. And with each attempt, they build in a time
delay. So the first second third times you enter the wrong pass
pass code, then you get a one minute delay the next time
there's a five minute delay then you get an hour delay and before
you know it there's really long delays because it keeps warning
you if you do this, you know two more times you'd be at 10 We're
gonna have to erase all the data on the device. So what Apple is
really saying is they don't want the FBI to force them to disable
not cryptology. But to disable these little steps that they've
kind of thrown in front of you if you want to go and brute
force this, this device. Where is really that? So now we're
into the it's privacy versus security? No, it is convenience
that Apple is giving you. Because of course, if you if
your phone is locked, and you have to enter 256 characters to
unlock it, no one wants to do that. But that would actually be
secure. And you wouldn't really even need these little delays
that are built into to the iPhones access into the, into
the secure system. So this, this brings up two main points. One,
why is Apple saying that this is weakening their encryption,
because it's not. The passcode entry is it's a hurdle. But it's
not a cryptology hurdle, it is not, they have a backdoor, they
have a huge gaping hole right there, which anyone if you want
your iPhone to be secure, whether or not they have a delay
in and whether or not they have, you know, race functions or not,
you need a much larger passcode passphrase in order to have the
cryptography work to any any degree. So when I hear Tim Cook,
and I want to when I read what he's saying, and in fact, I'm
going to play a clip just to break up my own monotonous tone.
He's even using the gay card, to slam the government on this
people have entrusted us with their most personal and precious
information. We owe them nothing less than the best protections
that we can possibly provide. By harnessing the technology at our
disposal, and working together as businesses, governments and
citizens, we believe we can bring about a future that fully
embraces both privacy and security.
Which in recent memory, he said, Well, we don't have to choose,
it shouldn't be that choice. Now he's saying we need that choice.
And here's his example, we
must get this right. History has shown us that sacrificing our
right to privacy can have dire consequences. We still live in a
world where all people are not treated equally. To many people
do not feel free to practice their religion or express their
opinion. Or love who they choose. Say it again. Or love
who they choose. We got it. A world in which that information
he said twice make the difference. Yes, he did. between
life and death.
So what he's saying is that in countries around the world if
you're gay, that's what he that is the code he used, then that
could mean life or death based upon your iPhone. Yeah, Nigeria.
This is heavy stuff right now. My iPhone could get me killed.
But to say that the government wants a backdoor is specious.
They have a seat. They it's pretty much a hack. And I do not
see. Well, I see what from his vantage point. I understand why
he's pissed off. But I do not see how if we're not if you
stand up there and you say we can't touch your information.
But really, the only reason why you can't do that is because we
give you convenience of four passcode digits, and therefore
we built in all this delays and stuff. I think the court is
right to force Apple to remove their walls because it's not
cryptography. It's removing a lot of people build most people
disagree with what I'm saying. But I want to make the point
clear that this is not a cryptography issue. It is Apple
saying you need to be safe. Here's what we've implemented,
and we can't we shouldn't be forced to crack that they're
pretty much just a system that is flawed, flawed. So that's our
comms razor. That's the real simple stuff, John, that and
then began David Comey. Of course he was in New York with
his other buddy Cyrus Vance. You remember him? He's the Is he the
state's attorney. They used to work together. They're the guys
that together but as you have pointed out many times put
Martha Stewart in jail. They have 175 iPhones ready to be
ready to brute force once Apple lets you know disables this kind
of shoddy gates and hurdles they have to jump over And they've
been waiting for the right case for a long time. In fact, here
is Rand Paul, we don't play many clips from but he gave us a
little insight into the timing of this event. Again, this is
the aacomas Razors theory. These
are people who have a history of not being honest. In fact, one
of them, the General Counsel, the legal counsel for the NSA.
He said this about six months ago, and they have his email,
The Washington Post found this, he said that we just need to
wait till someone dies. And then we'll use that to get what we
want.
Now, that brings me into some anomalies in the story that
we've learned now that not only did some unnamed employee, and
it's a little sketchy, whether it was the FBI, FBI itself, or
the FBI asked said unnamed employee to reset the passcode
on the device. And because of this, the device, if it was
enabled, could no longer provide an automatic backup. Now, this
resetting of the password was done, according according to the
court documents, quote remotely. And a couple of our producers
helped out and we found out that the San Bernardino Department of
Health, which is who were the owner of phone, they own the
phone. They had an MDM tool, that mobile device management
tool, which specifically allows you to clear pass codes, reset
pass codes, do anything you want, as if you're right on the
phone itself. So was this issued through the MDM was this issued
through iCloud? I would say my in case number one that if FBI
really wanted to go after Apple and find the right case where
somebody died, then if they had left his phone alone, there's a
probability they may have received the most recent backup,
which pretty much include everything you need, because
there were backups created previously, then you just take
it into a secure network that it knows or no network and it
starts automatically backing up. It is possible that they said,
Oh, crap, we can't have that. Let's break it. So then we can
go after Apple. And I don't put it past Comey at all. I think
that's complete ILS. Let
me try to summarise what you said. And
there's another one. Yeah.
You have an explanation for the simplicity. I think that was too
long. I think the key here was the idea. Let me Jimmy, I tell
me if I'm wrong. The FBI has got a bunch of phones. And they
haven't had really the rationale or the or the wherewithal or the
ability to get this trick that you're trying to do where
they're going to defeat the system that the not encryption,
but but the hurdle, right? This No, this the stalling system,
the system that keep you from trying 10 times and I always
recommend if anyone has some of the knife will just pop in about
11 password.
And it can I just say give you one little data point there. The
reason why you want to do that the way Apple's encryption
works, every single passcode you in whether it's of huge
passphrase or four digits, it takes about 80 milliseconds for
the software internally to decrypt that. So that is an n
that is something they can't change that is an inherent
delay. Meaning if you have a passcode of 1111 digits, it
could take up to 250 years at that speed to correct yes.
And I really do. I'm going where I'm going, it's important to
know and it's a nice little thing to know, I guess
it's about timing. It's about how fast can some Okay, probably
let's
go back to what I think is at play here. They've got a bunch
of phones that need to be decrypted and they haven't had
the real the leverage that they need to get this trick this
apple thing this eyeball patch, right to get rid of the little
barrier there. Yeah, they need it. So now they got a terrorist.
Yes, correct. So they can play it up. It's a publicity stunt.
They don't give a shit about anything on that phone because
there's nothing on the phone probably right. And because it
gets a health department phone anyway. But then now once they
get this little trick that to get an
advisor to buy, once they bricked it once they've worked
on the phone,
well brick or not brick is not is beside the point. They're
trying to get something on some specific phone that they have in
that pile that you're talking about the pile of 170 573 75
phones, there's a phone in there and there's a bunch of phones,
they want to open them all, but there's one in particular and
that's what this is all about. It would be kind of cool to know
what phone is out is that they have that they need to really
look
at this. We don't know this, we don't know.
But if you're looking at enough newspaper or you'd find some
situation that they tried, I'm sure Apple knows what it is
because they probably hounded them and now but now they've got
this this terrorist thing so they they're leveraging
terrorism once again. Once again to to exploit something that's
got nothing to do with terrorism is like setting up shop at the
TSA NCR we all know about terrorism and they brought bust
a bunch of guys are carrying marijuana this happened to John
Perry Barlow, and you know he had a little thing of marijuana
and then you get next thing you know he's talking to the police
about terrorism you're putting this up for terrorism to stop
terrorism now it's got nothing to do with terrorism. So in
other words, this is essentially a scam but it's a good one. It's
a really good
one really good one. What I find interesting in the discourse
about this is when it comes to terrorists and guns and the
Second Amendment everybody's like, Wow, man Second Amendment
It's a living document. We had muskets back then this you know,
it's a living document it should change you know, we we have to
do we not everyone should have a gun. We have to stop crazy
people from having a gun. When it comes to Apple and your
iPhone and the fourth and or fifth amendment. Everybody's
like, oh, yeah, that's not that's unconstitutional. You can
do that. You see the hypocrisy in this? Hypocrisy is
inconsistency is not hypocrisy. It's
hypocrisy. There's there's another thing now and now if you
get into the San Bernardino shooting itself, which we have,
and I went back and listen to what we discussed, one of
there's a lot of loose ends that were too black SUVs, there's
three hours or someone was missing. There's witnesses
saying there were three white guys and camos a lot of stuff
went wrong. What if this is just a crackpot scenario? What if the
following happened? We know that the FBI is always setting up
people so they were setting up these two crazies who, for some
reason decided that the people they had not only emailed
because the FBI does have that not only emailed their
colleagues, but they had a baby shower, and then they decided to
go kill them all. So I think one of our Oh, I know, one of our
theses was this was an FBI op but something happened and then
this couple they got triggered triggered activated. Something
happened to what if the triggering happened by some
other group other than the FBI and the FBI wants to know who
the hell was involved in messing and busting up there up
basically.
That could be I liked that I actually I don't think I said
crackpot.
that would that would do besides the obvious that would also
be I would be able to discuss and I can come out and say that
we had these guys set up to do a murder. Well, maybe they got
triggered and they shut their buddies. This is something I
didn't know who did that. Like people messing with our ops
something very, very wrong with that.
I don't think we're gonna hear a press conference like that ever.
But from a strictly legal perspective, which is where this
is going to come down to I think Apple's in the wrong here and
they're trying to cover it up with the government's evil
they've played his temper Tim Cook to come out and he placed a
huge distrust in the government huge which is you know, is
so that's, that's that's fine I think he's got a reason to do
that they're always hassling but
he but he's only doing it because the trade off is
convenient you're
saying is this is bogus? Is that their
thing? How many well how many times is cook stood there and
said Your shits safe with Apple you're safe, but it's not safe.
He messed up Apple messed up they I think the FBI you go back
and you listen to the words Comey is using data at rest data
in transit via we don't really want a backdoor a sliding door
any kind of door No, they already knew what they wanted
from Apple. They knew this for a while and they were waiting for
this particular instance I think Rand Paul may be correct that
they just wanted to find something was so big that they
could turn this around either to get one of those 175 phones. But
for me just the bottom line Apple fucked up they're wrong
they should have said you want to be completely secure then you
need to unlock your phone every single time with 256 characters
or something of that nature. And they have the capability built
in it's a little little option says no passcode options you can
change it we don't don't see discussed anywhere and I only
found it because I was looking to see how Wait a minute can you
do more pass codes or new more digits
but they have you pushed it up there too during your need to
learn for the six but you could you know 5040 And they could
long sentence
and they can remove they can remove their entire hurdles.
They're waiting hurdles as long as people know you know if you
have to use an appropriate passcode otherwise you're just
not secure but they kind of hoodwinked everybody and it
turns out their little hack their little trick was not all
that great because it does in less now the court decides and
that would be interesting that using that the method of of
maybe it would be the type of key or I don't see how they can
connect their system to cryptography that's that What
you know, they're not being asked for secret keys, they're
being asked to remove some barriers. You know, if you built
a warehouse and you had it locked up and you know, triple
cement and you got all kinds of steel around it, and if
something inside and the court wants it, you have to open it
up. You can't say we can't because you can.
Well, that's a good one. Okay. That'll keep people caught up.
And they'll keep it'll be interesting to see how this
finishes, but it probably will finish with them having to do
something like what you described,
I'm, I'm quite sure but cook is going to. And also one other
thing. I only said the iron Rand comment was only kind of half
jokingly, what choices does cook at this point after that, that
statement, have I only one as far as I'm concerned? And he's
been wanting to do this for a while, I'll bet he wants to rise
on weight. So quit. Yeah, I think he'll quit. I think I'll
quit over this. He's probably gonna want to quit. He can't
grow this company any bigger.
When he said that David lagers had here, he's at the he's at
the apex
of then you have China. You know, there's lots of rumours
that the apple let them do a security audit. And so they know
something and they know some capabilities, possibilities,
maybe Apple, Apple was given away the exact digital copies of
people's phones to the Feds up until iOS eight. And then they
put in this little hurdle and the Feds went both, that's not a
real hurdle. And so now they have their reason to take it to
court. And maybe that error code, the error 53 might even
have something to do with it's somebody that's coincidental
that crops up all part of the Secure Enclave and all this
stuff. And also, that is a part of Apple's convenience. Hey, you
don't want to input 256 characters, great, then you can
just use your thumbprint. What I would say if I was Tim Cook,
they would say, here's what you can do. You keep your phone on
immediate lock, you can request them and make sure that you can
not use the thumbprint. Or you could say, be use your
thumbprint for your huge 256 character passcode. Even if you
want to be secure, shut the phone down. Because when the
phone reboots, you cannot use your your thumbprint you have to
use the code. That's that safe computing. But I'm putting the
book I'm saying he resigns over this.
Well, that's a pretty bold prediction.
He wants out anyway. That that's why he makes his big statement
that he's putting his reputation out
there evidence do you have that he wants out?
I have no evidence that it's just a feeling. But the evidence
is he can't build the company any bigger. The stock keeps
sliding slowly. Eddy Cue was standing right behind him. Let
me know Yeah, he's
probably making them miserable. I know this type of office
politics you have the one guy wants to take over and all he
does is badmouth you behind your back and keep saying different
things just slowly eats away at the confidence of the other
employees. Yeah, very common way to do it.
Right. Now Trump has become unelectable on his stance, not
on his opinion, not in his ultimate opinion, but on his
stance because he's not taking the issue serious. Seriously.
That's that's an offence. Visa. Apple should do this.
I think Trump's weighed a lot if you're going to make him
unelectable. Or his or someone you don't think should be
elected is what you're really saying. I'm just using these
Democrats. Yeah, he said plenty of stupid stuff. That is just a
word. I'm just saying for Tory to torture thing. Yeah. You got
to do more than torture, torture these people. It's not good. No.
I mean, the only thing that's positive about Trump in my mind
is that he's kind of pro Russia. And this Russian thing is
completely out of control. Oh, it's not gonna get any better as
long as they let the Kagan's run things. Yeah.
And Turkey is now. Actually, I got we're moving away from
Apple. Right. We're done with the iPhone. Ashton Carter, our
new Secretary of Defence who've been forced the guy who just a
douche. not trustworthy, not trustworthy. He did an interview
with Charlie Rose did not talk about the his sexuality in his
DNA, but did tell us what is going to be happening in the
next few years with our deployments overseas,
you know, for 25 years. Charlie, I came up in this business
during the Cold War. And so I remember we've been dealing with
the Russian Russians for for a very long time. And after the
Soviet Union ended, there was a long period of time when in the
Department of Defence, thinking about Russia, as a competitor
was not something that we had to do. And now since what happened
in Ukraine a year and a half ago, it's quite clear that at
least as long as Vladimir Putin Know who's running the country
and has the intentions he says he has, we are going to have a
competitor in Russia, that is meant for us in defence, and for
the Europeans and for NATO having to create a new playbook
that we haven't had for a quarter century, which is one of
Territorial Defence deterrence, against aggression of Russia
into Europe, not just by traditional means, but also by
what is called hybrid warfare, but as Little Green Men kind of
phenomenon. And, you know, I, I regret the
challenge of Little Green Men,
I thought that was interesting that that they're using this
metaphor of Little Green Men, which what he means by that is,
you know, the so called real Russian show soldiers who were
in Ukraine, although there's enough evidence was probably
Blackwater or something. And but rose just goes back and just
says, The Little Green Men, I mean, little, what was it
infantile, I guess, is how they talk about that.
No, I,
I regret how do we meet the challenge of Little Green Men?
Two ways. First of all, you help these societies to harden
themselves, the ones that are particularly affected by it.
That means in terms of their board, border controls,
intelligence, sharing, cyber protection, protection, other
critical infrastructure and so forth, so that they are not as
easily subverted as Ukraine two years ago. And secondly, it's by
stiffening the NATO Response. We're doing that we this budget,
which we're submitting now quadruples, our spending on
European presence and posture, we're putting in heavy equipment
into Eastern Europe. We are putting forces in now not on a
permanent basis but a persistent rotational basis. We have a lot
more American troops in Europe in coming years that are heavier
than there were in past year so we're doing a lot and sadly,
Russian conduct in Europe and elsewhere makes that necessary.
Persistent rotational basis is code for lots of people but new
faces every three months.
Yeah, rotating everyone through Yeah, this is nonsense. I mean,
this is like ruin I don't get this I mean, they're this thing
about Russia it's all something I universe, there's a missing
piece of this puzzle. Let's listen to our talking about
Russia. And since you mentioned Turkey, oh, I want to have a
little thing on turkeys. Ask Adam but since you mentioned
Russia play the clip on Germany. This is German and Russian trade
problems this is ongoing with especially with Germany but all
the other countries Poland or everybody else has got huge.
This is the dough we're doing this on purpose, just the fuck
the EU.
It's been a spectacular fall from grace the Russian economy
has been plagued by the falling oil price and Western sanctions.
Those have both dragged down the value of the ruble. Of course,
economic crises don't happen in isolation. They also affect
trading partners. The German chambers of Industry and
Commerce have held a Russia conference in Berlin to try and
keep the trade ties tight.
The political mood between Moscow and Berlin might be
frosty, but politicians and business leaders here hope to
put that behind them and get back to work. But they have
their work cut out for them. Since 2012, German exports to
Russia have tumbled by half. And a third of German companies have
put their investment plans on hold. And around 80% of
companies expect Russia's economic situation to worsen.
MIT leads into named Dec more and more members are complaining
about the sanctions against Russia. In my view 900 We've
lost around 30 to 40 billion in trade volume. Do you intend to
add more and more companies are warning that they'll have to cut
staff due to the reduced trading figures. Something urgently
needs to be done about this. The sanctions have also weighed on
Osman International which is helping build several airports
in Russia. The contracts represent a fifth of the
company's business. Momentum is testament to this problem. It's
hard to get new orders at the moment because our current
contracts are starting to expire. This guy named Russian
partners can secure financing as they are locked out of the
European financial markets.
I'm glad you played that. We forget sometimes to bring that
up the sanctions and everything that's messed up all trade
is is turkeys has gotten I guess, stories about Turkey
they're supposed to receive the new North Stream would be would
be to Turkey the Turkish there
is a it is a complete cluster you And as the United States is
behind it, and I am actually stunned that the EU and the
Europeans haven't figured out that this is not in their
interest all over Ukraine,
we need to remind them what Victoria Nudelman Kagan said.
Exactly.
So there's that. Now I do have an ask Adam, do you want to
drift a little bit? Okay. So this guy, Peter Berger, who's
CNNs? A security guy is a British guy. In fact, he's
Oh, that yeah, that's the guy that was bringing when it
serious security news.
He's all about it. He's all about security, security,
sanity, he's like the guy just got a new book is a new book.
homegrown terrorists
got a violent extremism. Yeah.
So he is I gotta does a two parter. I got part one and part
two. Okay. And this is a question for you. This is Peter
Berger on C span, discussing his book about the all of it. He's
got the worldview of everything. And then on C span, and then
he's taken this crazy question that the C span guy couldn't
handle and he actually could pretty much cut the guy off. But
I, but I want you to play this part one, and then I have a
question for you. And then we'll play the part two.
John is calling in from North port Florida on our Republican
line, you're on with Peter Bergen.
Excuse me. Hello, Peter. Thank you for listening. I really
appreciate the way you're speaking and everything. The
only thing I have to ask a question is why are you not
talking about the country of Turkey? The reason why I say
that is I grew up in Pennsylvania. I live in Florida.
I grew up in Pennsylvania, and three minutes from a town called
Salem Burg Pennsylvania. His name is Fen Tula gulaman. He is
a clergyman of the country of Turkey. He was put into the
United States back in 1999. And Robert Amsterdam, you might have
heard of this person out of London and he has a office at
Washington. I spoke to him briefly regarding this man.
Because there is now an investigation throughout the
United States because of charter schools throughout the United
States that he is under investigation. He is considered
a terrorist which the country of Turkey put him on the terrorist
list plus the country of Turkey. He's the one that hired Robert
Amsterdam.
Hey, John, this is getting real complicated. Where do you want
to go with it?
The only question is, Is he is he familiar with Ben Tula Golan
and I feel the country of Turkey is funnelling terrorists into
out of the country of Turkey into Syria. Thank you, sir.
All right, already.
Okay. So the so where do you think Peter Bergen goes with
this?
Let me think. Okay, so the true answer is, hey, this guy is
doing an investigation. He was put there by the CIA. He got his
green card with help from the uncle of the Sarnath brothers
who were the boss and I think you're right idea, but now he
has here. I want to guess. Do I get a guess?
No, it's just you got to guess. I mean, you can get some more if
there's more to it than this get there's going to reveal the as a
CIA stooge.
Now he's probably going to say I'm trying to think if our Peter
Bergen first of all have an accent.
He's British.
I don't know man. I have to give up. I'm not familiar with the
case. I'm not familiar with the case. Never heard of it. Never
heard of him. Never heard it for too long Gulen. I've never heard
of him. Yeah, go see killing ed the
doctor. There's the book. That's the value of the book. You just
got
to never had never heard of him. I tell you. Oh, yeah, that's
good. Now. Turkey has requested extradition of
Glenn. Good luck. Yeah.
CIA should account for this. Eventually, someone's going to
have to explain exactly how all that went down.
I'm going to show my son little by Jonah to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun

no like a like a bag to go help people in Haiti. Like a Haiti
held back I've
put a picture of in the next newsletter. It's a bag that
would it was an empty bag of course. Yeah. But it was a bag
that would
hold your gum. Usually those bags are filled with cash.
Yeah, well, this one wasn't filled with anything. But it's
very artistic. I think it's a work of art. And it says
sorghum. And I want to talk about sorghum one of these days
on the show. What is sorghum? Sorghum is a kind of a grass
that turns out to be like the fifth that most popular cereal
in the world. It's not eaten so much in the United States.
Although it's in the south it's used sometimes as a cereal for
different things that can be used as the as the kind of like
bells makes a sugar sour to use it to make sugar you can make a
sugar out of a cold sore gums molasses,
it's a plant is
it a plant? It's a grass it's a
grass, wheat grass. Hmm.
Only it's mostly used and I started looking into this so I'm
gonna say what is sorghum being used for why are we the United
States it turns out we grow a lot of it Kansas in mainly we
grow sorghum. And I you should look at it so you can recognise
if you ever Oh, there's a sorghum plant you could
recognise and say something now, I was looking into what why are
we giving it away so much into these USA ID bags? Where is it
going? Must be going a lot of it to Africa because it seems to be
much used in Africa and you start to look and look and look
what does it do? What did they cook whether they would it turns
out if you've tried alcohol from it, you can do that we do that
the fact that Chinese use sorghum to make a famous alcohol
so you can make alcohol out
if you get high off of it. There must be some you can get high
off of this stuff. So alcohol I'll smoke it
but if you start looking at what is used for like perhaps in
Africa and what it could be used for the United States gruel
gruel
it's used to make gruel Hmm,
I've never had starving people. Oh, it says slave food. Its
slave food nice starving
slave food is gruel. And which is that fits right in with a mac
and cheese and all the rest of dynamite and so I am predicting
now immediately on this show. Here we go that sorghum will
become a major player in the super foods movement
pool. Do you think we could have sorghum with bugs?
Stork come with bugs crunchy
cereal, crunchy cereal, everybody but it'd be
gruel. Hace gruel crunchy gruel?
Yeah. Well, okay, I liked this prediction.
Yeah, that's a good prediction. Good one. But look out for
sorghum it's going to take off it
can doesn't have to be processed before you make it into gruel
or,
this is the thing that's funny about it. To get a little grains
out of it, you have to boil it, and you have to boil it for like
55 to 65 minutes over an hour. So it's not really something
that would go well in a area that doesn't have a lot of
energy. Unless you can just burn wood and put the snot really
fast in a pot. Put it over the burning wood and cook it for an
hour, a little over an hour and then you can eat it.
You can you could put bugs in it and garnish it with kale yum.
The and top it off For some mac and cheese,
it's meal fit for a king named Patricia Worthington in with the

out. I'm going to be taking this one on the road with me to
Arkansas.
Hello. Oh, sorry. You go.
Winkler and Christina Caldwell come on up to the podium. Both
of you have supported this little podcast. The no agenda
showing the amount of $1,000 or more and therefore you have
reached the roundtable the Knights of the Dames and we are

one producer who had the certificate, the sealing wax,
the ring, and then three handguns. Yeah. We're not on the
list. We're not on the list anywhere. Three, man, lots of
feedback on the section 508 stuff. The you know, the four.
I've learned to term blind people in the blind can meet
community call themselves, which doesn't mean I can call them
that blenders. For some reason,
there's not blender No,
no, that's what No, it was very specific blenders. There was a
pronunciation guide. And here's what I've learned from a lot.
And we have a lot of blenders who listen to the show who I
will say one of them actually said they use our websites as an
example of how accessibility should work. That's a huge
compliment towards us, I think. Because we have that baked into
our DNA. It's baked baked into our DNA, it's in the DNA
Exactly. But this is this is really being driven by lawsuits
and what is known as the ATA trolls. And it doesn't section
508 Doesn't even matter. This is where I think I got sidetracked
thinking where is the law that says you have to do this, it is
an interpretation of the American with Disabilities Act.
And the bottom line is, if you don't make the effort, if you
don't try to be a or a compliant with the WCAG 2.0 content
guidelines, you'll get sued. That's what's happening. And
everyone in the in the community hates it. Say, Bill, on the
other hand is good that you know gets people's attention but that
is why it's why the consultants are out and why everyone's
running around trying to fix their websites. And it could hit
us to John we could easily be sued. We don't really provide
such a public service perhaps as some other companies do. But
it's it's rampant, rampant these lawsuits and then you anyone you
know, usually the for about $15,000. Man, it's just easier
to settle. Why call your law team don't call the lawyers just
to settle. That's why it's being pushed so hard. But I can't
convince anyone of the people who have emailed back at me that
it makes no sense to degrade my experience. Because you know if
you have to degrade the colours of a website to be compliant,
would this not also be the case with television, clothing people
wear outdoor advertising, advertising and magazines? Can
we now just sue all of them?
I'm sure they'd like to. I'm sure
it may happen. Good. I think we just go back to grey everything
should just be grayscale. I said it before I like the grace just
keep it a grayscales good grayscale. That's a little
update on that.
We should at least discuss this before the show ends which is
the back and forth that's been going on at the in the EU
regarding great Yes. Okay.
I have the as maybe as a little start off I have a quickie from
Cameron his his little speech there in Brussels. Okay play
that. This is this is after he said that he's done the work he
has negotiate On behalf of Britain
within the last hour, I've negotiated a deal to give the
United Kingdom special status inside the European Union. I
will fly back to London tonight and update the cabinet at 10am.
Tomorrow morning. Thank you. This deal has delivered on the
commitments I made at the beginning of this renegotiation
process. Britain will be permanently out of ever closer
union never part of a European superstate. There'll be tough
new restrictions on access to our welfare system. For EU
migrants, no more something for nothing. Britain will never join
the euro. And we've secured vital protections for our
economy and a full say over the rules of the free trade single
market. While remaining outside the euro. I believe that this is
enough for me to recommend that the United Kingdom remain in the
European Union having the best of both worlds.
No, you go special status on negotiating.
He's like exaggerating, that must be the least it must be.
But he a lot of that is true. And but the main thing they were
trying to get out of was the welfare problem that they had,
which was people would come over and then they would to work from
Poland and other places, not just not they're just the
refugees. And many of them wouldn't, they would just
immediately quit their jobs stay there and collect welfare. Not
many of them. But enough that was becoming a problem. That was
the absolute main thing that we're working on, there were
this special status thing that that can be pulled the rug can
be pulled out from under him. But this report that I have,
which discusses the build up to this, and which was a report out
of Germany and was played on Deutsche Wella shows that kind
of kind of crap that went on during the process of him
getting this special status. In fact, they weren't going to
grant it.
What do you think this means? The special status, this is just
just we will participate. We want to be a member but now
really,
it's like it's some some special privilege. Let's play this
Deutsche world thing first, and then we'll talk about the
morning morning.
It's exactly what he has been asking for and what he needs.
David Cameron is fighting an uphill battle. And he's very
keen to show that to British voters. The key to overcome last
pockets of resistance to a deal now seem to be bilateral
meetings.
The deal is possible, but timing it will depends what kind of
deepness of drama, some countries would like to perform
deepness of drama, yes, some kind of everybody.
Take Greece, for example, the Greek Prime Minister has
apparently brought the refugee crisis back on the agenda.
Greece wants its EU peers to pledge to keep their borders
open to refugees, at least until March, a government source said
or it will refuse to adopt an accord keeping Britain in the
block. Then there is Belgium, the country is pressing for a
clause to ensure a deal with Britain would automatically
cease to exist in case of a vote to leave to make sure there was
no possibility for a second renegotiation. It's very clear,
there will be no second chance. It's now 11. We have to get this
message across with a full capacity of Europe. The marathon
talks continue and plans for an English breakfast, brunch or
lunch have long been transformed into plans for a dinner to
hammer out a final deal.
And our Brussels correspondent is standing by with the very
latest. Max Hoffman he joins us now. Max. So do we have any
indications on where things stand at this hour? Are they at
least close to coming to sort of some sort of consensus?
Well, we have news concerning the food in America the German
Chancellor decided to skip the dinner I think and she went
first and that's not a joke she went to grab some fries just
next to the building here the European Council building
because everybody took a break for about two hours to clear
their head and to approach this might be final stretch of
negotiations. All the delegations were advised to get
hotel reservations here in case it drags on through the night
and maybe even the morning but the most diplomats I've been
talking to think that within the next hours, there will be a deal
but of course they couldn't give me any guarantees
as if anybody would actually be sleeping in those hotels Max. It
looks like
they're actually having sex. Did you see that report? Yeah, there
were people who have been so bored what was going on and when
the cloakroom in the bathrooms nailing each other.
Well there was this this thing turns out to be a benefit to me.
The idea is is to give the Brits a few tidbit you know a few
little crumbs
they maintain Shang and they keep them they keep their
currency, the
currency they don't have to pay does read Nicolas welfare rates,
right? The two, although they do after they've been there for
four or five years, they did another one, they put a time
limit on it. So in other words, you can't show up and start
collecting welfare. But if you show up and work for a while,
and then after four or five years you decide to do it, you
can start collecting Well,
this is not the same for other countries in the EU, then
apparently no is not I thought every
country got to determine their own laws. I thought that was how
it worked?
Well, yeah, it's a bunch of other things. Suppose that were
concessions. And one of the main ones that would just get the you
Kip guys were are about was, there was a time table where
everybody had to do a kumbaya and come together and become one
giant country. And Chris had been grandfathered out of that.
They don't have to take part in this kind of thing. And they
want others to get that keep their money. But it's
interesting, I'd like to I read about it. And I listen to these
German reports. And it seems that I'm gonna have to wait
until you Kip or some of the real Euro haters come out with
their analysis. And
it's never now seen that Nigel Farage altra. Right is now
teaming up with George Galloway Ultra left on this issue.
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. It's almost like this is a
worldwide phenomenon. It's almost like Trump and Sanders
have. Yeah,
it's interesting. To have more in common than they then I don't
Yeah, right.
Common enemies is what it amounts to. And yeah, it'll be
interesting to see how this shakes out. But I think I think
if we're going to talk about the Brexit vote that's coming up
this summer. I believe it's this summer, they are not going to
leave the European Union, there was a bunch of like, they're
showing people handing out pamphlets and you know, in the
EU, or in Britain, and they're all these pretty millennial
girls, they want to stay in the EU concerned, nice to be
European or whatever, I have no idea what your thinking is, but
I'm telling you, there's gonna be like the Scotland vote is
going to look like it's going to happen and then it doesn't
happen. They are not the Brits do not have the guts to leave
the EU. And this propagandise is and I asked the question, the
same question I asked about Bernie Sanders in the free
education. It used to be that way. The Brits used to be on
their own as a single country doing fine trading with Canada,
the United States and the various European countries. Why
can't you know if they used to be able to do it now? They can't
do it. Yeah. Why? Why can't they do it now? Well, because you got
this big blog because of the scam.
Yeah, because of the scam.
It's totally
the money's one. Once you have the money available. Then you
all you have to do is go and get it and it's running through the
children via you're running the scam through the American
children. Disgusting.
Well, if you want to see here a long clip that disgust you
further, especially running something through the American
children. I have the clip. All right,
roll it out.
But let's set it up. Goldie Hawn.
She's up there in Susan Sarandon territory.
About 12 years ago, she says, created this system that the
schools are implementing called Mind Up, minus up and the mind
up and this is something that is going around the schools and I
have to tell you, it's the most this this package that was put
together and shown on the Today Show, as though it was their
package, but there's too much music is overproduced
This is Goldie Hans foundation. This is from her foundation, I
see.
Yes. And mind up, well play the clip and you'll get most of the
story. Okay.
But for 12 years now, the Oscar winning actress has been
following a much more serious script that focuses on children
in many ways right now. Is this the most important thing I've
ever done? I'd have to say probably yes. Three,
she created a programme called Mind Up working with
neuroscientists, psychologists and educators. They developed an
interactive way to teach school kids how their brains work, and
how to become more mindful. What does mindfulness mean
mindfulness is really being in the moment. I think it's
wonderful to be able to bring yourself back to centre and
actually have the sense of now. It's all we don't have yesterday
is gone tomorrow as an app. And so the beautiful thing is to
live right now. How hard is that? The only thing that's hard
about it is finding the time to sit down a few times
each day the kids pause. It's called a brain break. After a
few quiet moments, their eyes open in heart rates bra that
telling
our bodies that we're calm, and we can think clearly and we're
ready to take a test are ready to come down it can also team
aggression. What if you're angry at your friend? Should you just
hit them? That's why we pause. Take some deep breath out.
I don't do nearly as much conflict resolution with
students they're better able to manage their own conflicts with
themselves.
Goldie's strongly believes in meditation
ready to close your eyes, close your eyes. If you're comfortable
your dancer in your lap, she gave me a quick lesson. If
thoughts come into your mind, let them float away and come
back to your breathing.
She started practising in her 20s To calm anxiety during her
rapid rise to fame as a star on Laffin. Do you think kids today
have it harder than when you were young?
Most definitely. I think the world has changed. Obviously it
changed after 911 I think we live in a lot of fear.
She hopes my stuff gives kids the tools they need to be happy,
optimistic, and compassionate. 650,000 children kindergarten
through eighth grade are now doing the programme when you're
calm, does that help you with your schoolwork? When you hear
the chime, how does it make you feel? Good. Why is that? Because
it slows you down? Have you heard some success stories that
have you?
One of them was these kids that came back and said if it wasn't
for this class, I would have never gotten through college.
When you
hear stories like that. How do you respond? I cry because
our children have to have every chance to survive. And every
chance to live in a healthy, happy for a look
for this comedy legend. It's a dramatic turn giving children
something good to think about for today. Joe fryer, NBC News.
Redondo Beach California.
Yeah, you could have cut them in and out of that I'm sure.
You know I could have. So this couple of things. There was a
couple of things you couldn't see. They had this classroom and
they had this little Gong they there's not a gong but dings
little noise. You heard it three times in that yes, it almost
sounds like an iPhone ringtone. Well, it's a ding and there's a
little thing and then they have a little hammer that thing. And
when they hit the thing the kids a whole roomful of
kids have Lavi in response, freeze
like yeah, they freeze in place and close their eyes, the whole
class boiling it's like and it's frightening to see this. It's
like creepy
to they have to cower in the corner. I have no shelter in
place. Well, this is
just they ring the bell and all these kids boiling. They all
close your eyes and they're still in silent. It's this. It's
extremely programmed. This is
part this is part of the mindfulness movement. That
mindful living do you use to use that word mindful? Yes. And you
see this on the face bag everywhere. It's about living in
the moment living now feeling now being present, which I'm all
for. The Han Foundation brought in $1.2 million last year. This
is a typical Hollywood tax thing. Yeah, tax deal. And
Kimberly McNatt the chief executive officer takes home a
quarter of that with a two's $289,000 a year salary. So
great. And they make children freeze on command. What do you
have one of these devices? Do you have one these ding devices?
Yeah, right here. What do you think? Was it that was that that
has to be the right time but it has to be the right key?
Well, this might I don't have the right because
then you can just because you're in California just go around to
the schools just see.
It looks like it's some they all look they showed a couple of
these. They all looked identical. There's some it's I
think they buy them. So I think I can buy one.
Doug oh man maybe they can maybe they sell them on the site
as possible if they can and and we we need it because we can do
it on the show.
Yes. And then kids will freeze in their tracks. Yeah, bunch of
kids have one with Billy let me see they have have teaching Oh,
you can we can become certificated and accredited. in
mind up,
play the Theramin
that now that would actually be great if we could get kids to
respond to the Theramin they're there. They're Roman. Era. How
do you spell Theramin?
I don't know. You're the one that wrote it. They changed the
old title there.
I'm gonna put this on a hot button. Come on kids. It's time
to be mindful. The Han Foundation provides resources to
support the successful implementation of the MindTap
programme. So There's the curriculum but I'd like the
dinger
now we need a copy of the dinger
is it mind? Mind Up? Is it is it a symbol what what does it look
like?
No. It looks like a one thing of a phone it's just a one thing
across
the mind up mindup tone Okay, I'm gonna look for that we
should be able to get one of those tones and just hate it all
the time. Yeah, and you know and if you do that in your Kate
Hudson she did like drops to her knees I get in the morning
morning for that give yourself
all right I got a couple of Black Lives Matter things before
we phase out for today. First is oh yes this was very nice. This
is Melissa click Do you remember Melissa click the Alyssa click
list click Melissa click was the journalism professor in Missouri
people need their space go away
no I need some muscle over here we need to remove his report I
need to muscle over here that she needed some muscle and she
was on CBS This Morning. Which sometimes known as the Today
Show, and she and as I'm so she's apologising, but listen to
the words because it shows you exactly what her mind so first
of all, she's not sorry at all. She doesn't care. If you look at
this woman you just want to she's she evokes anger just the
contentious smirky eye don't know ma'am something about her
rubs me the
wrong way. Missouri says this morning and investigation into
the assistant professor who sparked a national backlash is
nearly done.
Were you appalled by your behaviour when you watch the
video? I was embarrassed by my behaviour. I believe it doesn't
represent who I am as a person. It doesn't represent the good I
was doing there that day. And you know, certainly I wish I
could do it over again. Click says she was trying to protect
the students protesting who she says we're under threat and
wasn't sure the man filming was a real journalist. He introduced
himself only as media and came at me with a camera
came at me with a camera and
as a camera. Not a weapon. Sure. But it also wasn't a big camera.
It could have been a phone size camera. It wasn't a again didn't
say professional journalists to me. Oh, that's
okay. So this is what the kids learning in school job. That
only if you have a big camera, the big camera big
old fashioned camera that huge VHS tape
with with the big battery on the top on the back. Yeah. Then then
your professional media
size camera it wasn't again didn't say professional
journalists to me
that that's you know, if you have a camera you need to put on
the side a sticker that says professional camera Anna
Yeah, she's got it. Were you supposed to wear a fedora with a
thing sticking out cards?
It says press. Sure.
She'd be smoking a cigar you gotta
be smoking. You can get away with the green visor if you're
not a weapon. Sure. But it also wasn't a big camera. It could
have been a phone size camera. It wasn't a again didn't say
professional journalists to me. We asked if she would review the
table.
I just wanted to get this straight but I know I'm obsessed
by it. But for a journalism modern day journalism professor
assistant are not to say that she was confused and thought it
was not a journalist because they only have the big cameras.
That's a professional journalist. This woman should
not be teaching. No, she should. This is really this. Every year
of citizen journalism every year of journalism, every hear of the
First Amendment
again didn't say professional journalists to me. We asked if
she was what's a professional
journalist. You can only be professional if you went to
school. I don't know.
professional journalists to me. We asked if she would review the
tape of that incident with us. She declined. I don't really
wish to do that.
No. Nine I know you don't wish to do that course not. The
horrible woman. Then she gets away with it gets a pass no
problem. But then this is a little on the long side but
maybe worth listening to it. Because it's kind of a surprise.
They've seen the video makes it that much better. But this is
Captain clay Higgins in Louisiana. And they're out
there's gang members out gang members around and these and
then the the sheriff the captain he is tired of the gang members
and this is a big outdoor shot all the material is there all
the the SUVs and the you know their riot stuff and everyone's
out and
Grambling street gang is responsible for hundreds of
violent crimes, murder is on robberies, witness intimidation,
burglaries, drug trafficking, extortion, and brutal beatings.
We've arrested 10 of these dogs and have warrants on seven more.
Every one of these animals is most definitely armed and
dangerous. Darren Carter, Aaron Carter, Travis Cooper, Cody
Guidry, Jaron Diggs, Kirkland, dama Shea and Jonathan Landry.
We have felony warrants for your arrest. You will be hunted. You
will be tracked. And if you raise your weapon to a man like
me, will return fire with superior fire.
How's it sounding so far? John? How do you like this guy? What
does he sound like to you? What do you think he does? He sound
like a big ass southern bigot racist.
He sounds like a good old boys probably overweight.
No, he's not actually Darren Carter. You think man like these
are afraid of an uneducated 125 pound punk like you that's never
won a fair fight in your life. And hold your gun sideways.
Young man
I like that you hold your gun sideways all the all the all the
gang bangers they hold the gun sideways which ensures you'll
always miss
young man. I'll meet you on solid ground anytime anywhere.
Lighter, heavy, light heavy appears to me. You won't walk
away.
I might want to point out every single one of the mugshots was a
black guy.
Look at you, man like us, son. We do dumbbell presses with
weights bigger than you turn and the convicts in jail. Most of
those men are good people who just found themselves cross with
the law. They're not evil, and they don't respect you, or any
punk like you. They'll toss you around like a rag doll. I
encourage every citizen watching this, to look into your own
heart and find the American courage that conquers all evil.
And here comes the big reveal.
Where did you get this?
It's a public service announcement from Captain clay
Higgins,
where did it run? Oh, local TV.
But now this is zoom out. Here's the reveal. I
implore you to listen to this message and stand up. Take back
your streets. Take back your country come forward with
information about these heathens that terrorise your community
and for those who use this message as a way to create false
racial division in our country. Take a close look behind me.
Standing next to every cop is a leader of our black community.
Not about race. It's about right versus wrong. One last message
to the gremlins. You don't like the things I've told you
tonight. I got one thing to say. I'm easy to find. Oh man for the
st. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office, the Louisiana State
Police, the US Marshals and every cop and law abiding
citizen from sea to shining sea. I'm Kathy clay Higgins asking
every Patriot to stand up, shared his video and send a
clear message to the world where Americans would rather die on
our feet than live on our knees as
fools like it. Though it was it was his watch this thing like
wow, this is what a racist is guys. And then all of a sudden,
there's like all these black guys standing next to the cops.
It was great. I'm all for this. Go out there and shoot the
gangbangers.
That's what it sounds like. Yeah, well, the other tires.
This is Southern justice. They're tired of it, man.
They're a little different.
We're a little different down here in the south. Family Guy
doing good work. Very good work. The
way he was shouting the whole time. Yeah, well,
the Family Guy along with South Park and these guys are starting
to do good work.
So before we go up, I was gonna do something I want to do the
last show I'm gonna do it now before
I'm setting up a clip and you're just going to arrange Well, you
got a clip coming? Well, I'm saying Family Guy, Family Guy.
Family Guy. Family Guy.
Yeah, but I thought you were just referring to the guy.
No, no family guys doing good work. They're making fun of the
security theatre making fun of the government. And it's subtle
and I like it guys. We're
under attack by who? I don't know. Oh, it's Cobra. Oh, of
course. Look, they have the pictures of the snakes on their
planes. Dude, what have I
been saying for years? What makes a good terrorist
organisation? brand recognition, brand recognition.
Exactly. brand recognition.
Is that Brian?
No, no. Well, it's Brian's voice but it's not Brian. I love that.
Well, I missed that one.
And then the final one, actually, I'm going to open up
the gate for this one if you don't mind. To the gate to the
to the clinic. Neil deGrasse Tyson deGrasse Tyson has his he
has a podcast called stargazers or something but it's a TV show.
of the TV show. And he was on and he said something really
remarkable, which was so not Neil deGrasse Tyson. So not we'd
expect him to say, but now that he said it, thank you very much
in D G, T.
Now, if my records are correct here 2014 was the warmest year
on record since 1880. So we've got these other data 97% of
climate scientists agree
only on that global warming is reality. And humans are most of
it. That's an important fact. Yeah. Okay. Now, however,
there's a famous quote from Galileo, who says, and I quote,
in questions of science, the authority of 1000 is not worth
the humble reasoning of a single individual. So I've never been
happy with people saying 97% of a scientist agree because that's
like, so. So they maybe they're wrong. What I what they should
be saying, in my IMHO, in my humble opinion, it's the
overwhelming consensus out of experiments, give these results.
The experiments that are the results of experiments that
matter here.
This is a tough one, though, because we're not experiment.
Well, we're running only one experiment,
observations, observations and experience. That's what people
report on. That's what we should be looking at. I like it.
Thank you, Neil deGrasse Tyson, does he realise what he's done
there? made it easy for
the science sciences and the sciences are
watching this travel show, and they go to Fort Jefferson, which
I'd love to see. So for Jefferson is
you're watching television during the show? No, not now.
Okay,
good. Lord Jefferson. I just didn't get a clip of it. I do
have a clip. But I, for some reason didn't show up in the
clips for Jeffersons and is at the end of the tour to God or
it's in the vicinity that Tor to go Islands, which are on the in
the area of the keys of Florida, Florida, Florida Keys. And the
two guy islands was named after the turtles are like, at sea
level about a foot above sea level. The whole island little
structures a little violence or they're small, they're little
bitty groups. And then this Fort Jefferson is about a foot above
sea level, and it was built in 1860. And beautiful for it. So
since 1860, this thing is which is at pretty much a foot above
sea level. Where's the rising tides have to guide and should
be underwater? Yeah. And this did for Jefferson should be
inundated. But no. is the rising sea levels don't go to this
Florida Keys?
Well, you think they would? Yeah, maybe
an anomaly. I guess the lumpy ocean is only rising. Some
places that you know where there's some where there's
nobody looking?
Well, maybe we
should ask because of what's happening in Greenland right
now. The maps of the world will have to be redrawn. This is what
would happen to San Francisco Bay.
Flash report John
C. Dvorak, how the mud flats doing?
Well, the mud flats are still there, but it is high tide. So
they're covered with a couple of inches of water, but not so much
that the seal the the nearby freeway, which is at one foot
above sea level has any effect there's it appears to me that
nothing's going on.
Well, thanks for telling us there we go. There's nothing
going on what would happen
to San Francisco Bay?
mud flats intact. We're good to go. I'm still looking for that
for that chime.
We'll find it. Yeah. Ask the schools or just send him an
email, say I'd like I'd like to get my kids to meditate. And I
need that chime.
I like it. Because you know that you know, this kind of stuff
that sticks for a long time. You can probably just do it in Whole
Foods and see what children freeze. Like Dang. Hello, kids.
Are Yo Yo yo yo, yo, to be tried? Yes. All right. Bring us
home, Johnny Boy.
Well, do I have anything to bring us home?
I thought you had one more thing you want to talk about? Maybe
I'm wrong. Take a look at the list. Maybe just mentioned
briefly that we didn't talk about on the last show that
watermelon had John Kerry Secretary of State met with the
heads of the major studios on Tuesday to talk about how to
counter the ISIS narrative.
And he tweeted there's that Yeah, somebody sent us a picture
of the meeting. Yeah, he
tweeted a picture here's his tweet fish bag Ville Yeah, he
just tweet. Great Convo W slash studio execs in LA Good to hear
their perspective. As an ideas of how to counter hashtag diass
narrative.
So I have one last clip. There's been doing studies, this is one
of the rundown of the news stories. This was important
because this gives me another question to ask you. Okay, this
is the sleeping college education clip. Okay.
The Wall Street Journal reports that many Americans are sleep
deprived. A new study by the CDC finds more than 35% of adults
get less than the recommended seven hours of sleep in a 24
hour period. People who do get enough rest tend to be employed,
married or have a college education or higher. Hmm. Okay,
here's
the question for you. Okay. What's higher than a college
education? Is there some other institution right aware of?
Hey, it's a club I want to be
like, what's the highest? Yeah, that's a good tire then a
college education? What's I don't know. Yeah. JC Well, it's
a master's you know, Master's degree is a college education.
PhDs college, right. Bachelor's cause all college so what's
higher?
I don't know. Public Company, public office. Maybe
some mystery.
Could be. Alrighty, good. Nice. So, more town halls tonight.
I'll watch. I'll watch. You don't have to have you to watch.
I'll watch tonight. I'll get the clips from that. And
well, is there stuff tonight? Really? Yeah.
I think there's it's every it seems like every show night.
There's something going on. He's barely the
next Republican debate. Of course. I think I've heard this
before the next debate coming up and Tuesday or Thursday of next
week. Now, they said it will be the last. Oh sure. Do they said
sure. And somehow Trump's gonna be a huge disadvantage now
because he doesn't have bush to put on it.
Oh, okay. Well, we'll see. Standby Cruz and Rubio like
could be fun. Oh, don't forget to check into cash are a Donald
Trump money as we've been accused cash that Donald Trump
money cash that money.
Got a big check here. That guy's a cheap bastard. He's not giving
us anything.
