from the darkest corners of the internet here in FEMA Region six
Austin J House here in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley we're Plato say, woman who
deliberately over decorate her house for Christmas. Has a lot
of balls. I'm John C. Dvorak. Greg Levin, Buzzkill.
Now, is this the desire to fix you're going forward with your
microphone sound? Why would I do you sound like you're in a
tunnel?
I didn't change anything.
You sound fantastic. You sound like you're in a tunnel. You
didn't change anything?
No. change anything?
Oh my god. This is very strange.
Sound okay, in the title?
No, no, you sound like you're in a submarine. Actually.
I'm in a submarine here in Northern Silicon Valley.
You mess it. You're messing with me. What did you do? It was
perfect. The minute you said hit it. That's when I heard it. I
thought I heard it. Am I still doing it? Yeah, it sounds like
you're talking to that can that you always do? Really?
Let me see. Oh, I'm tucking into the back of the mic.
When I took the mic.
When I took the mic off to the shim in upside down. Ladies and
gentlemen, this is why we are without any doubt. No doubt
whatsoever. I don't care what you say. We are the best podcast
in the universe.
Okay, let me put the mic back on the right way.
So those of you who are wondering what's happening here,
we had some kind of technical issue. Glitch. Glitch. Yes,
indeed. We had a little glitch we jiggle the handle. And
instead of that result is John was talking into the back end of
the microphone.
John pretty good.
Yeah, award winning award winning sound fantastic.
This is the Audio Technica 80 or the 8020 20 you could you can
use as a podcasting mic that they make specifically for
podcasters Oh, really? And I have my other thing apparently
my audio. Your M audio? My M audio device blew up. This is
the second time in 10 years. Third time actually I think
about it. No, I don't have any I keep track of how many I buy
because you keep them right you don't actually throw it out.
No, no, I throw it out. I throw out the bad one because that bad
Why have another one of those old old ones up at the other
house. And I use that up there and I don't want to have a bad
one floating around is that could get mixed up. Anyway, I
gotcha. The Audio Technica mic because the other micro switch
to this other line of stuff that was making a buzzing sound and
they had to move over to this and we wanted to test this mic
out anyway. Yeah,
it could use a little more high end pumping as much in as
possible of course you know, you're coming through Skype so
it always makes a little more complicated but you sound pretty
good. And if
it sounds good, I'm sure that pretty I said pretty. I think
there's Mike as 99 bucks or something like that. It's cheap.
Yeah, it sounds about right. And I said then it's a USB mic so it
goes right into the
system. Yeah, baby right into this system. direct input eggs
right in Yeah, great.
Hey, man, how was your Christmas I was. I want to hear all about
the meet up the lala land.
Got to meet up to talk about we've got Disneyland to talk
about I went to see Rogue One huge I went to the El Capitan to
witness the Dolby laser projector on this monstrous, you
know, screen right? This is the HDR version. And it's HDR and
all that I want to talk about that but I think everybody else
wants to know about this. Did you get married all of a sudden?
I know I've been playing the wedding bells team over the
years knowing this was gonna happen. And you kept telling me
nerve and I said yeah, it's happening. And it apparently has
some some silly little gif with you guys re waving your wedding
rings into the camera. Well,
it's interesting.
This is a by the way, I want to stop you there. Okay, please do
get started. interrupted the meetup.
It interrupted the meeting. It's called breaking news breaking
news breaking news.
So at interrupted upstage, let's say the meet up. And so we're
passing around people's phones showing you and and Tina waving
your hands in the camera. With the with the shooting grins on
and so that became kind of a disguised point of discussion
but I didn't die by should have called by decide no we're
talking about on the show. So we do
of course that's what we do. Well, this was very interesting
for a number of reasons. Mainly how it's always fun to see on
mainstream media works, but not just mainstream how people work
in general. To the keyboard, this
was a chess This is a wasn't real.
Well, let me tell you the story. Okay,
so first of all knocking I'm going to stop talking now. Now
I'll
need your interaction as we go along. Okay, so I've been Tina
and I have been together a year and a half. And she's been
approved by you, obviously. And she's the keeper. And we, we
really love each other. And we decided that you know, when we
should, I'd love we'd like to make a commitment to grow old
together. That was how it started. Out. Which, which, by
the way most people find very cute when they hear that you of
course laugh now. Yeah,
I saw a cube. So
let's get some rings. It'd be nice. And I've been talking
about Yeah, look, you can play instruments. Okay, that doesn't
work.
I got one I get jaded. Can I do this instead?
You can pretty much do that's only after the candles hold off.
Now, so we've been talking about this for a while both of us have
been married twice. We're not jumping up and down to jump into
marriage. We have decided next year summer when our leases are
up, we're going to move in together get a new place
together. And what really was the impetus is I had been
looking for a while for rings. I was very specific. I wanted to
Well, let me just cut to the chase. I found brand new, they
just came out. What are you doing, man? You're not really
sure. How long have you been looking for rings? Let's go to
about three, four weeks. Okay, me, that's what I was talking
about a certain design that I was looking for. And I found it
it was already made. It is a replica of a magnetic loop
antenna. What a magnetic loop antenna. You see, we can read
each other's thoughts when we're close together. And I wanted to
have a broadcast device. And so there's a little bit it
resembles a magnetic loop. It has the exact same properties.
And okay, so I said will you grow old with me? And she said
yes. I said as you grow older than me, I said yes. And that
was what we had said yes to, interestingly, every single
mainstream newspaper television show, yes, even the news in the
Netherlands. Now I immediately announced that I had been
married for the third time.
Yeah, I noticed that. And of course, that's what made that
video and made it somewhat mysterious, and put it on
Twitter. And so I'm trying to do news and we want to know if you
got American. So you got to get married. He's got he's got
engaged. And then some woman wrote in on the Twitter, she
said, Why do they have two rings then? What does that usually the
guy doesn't get an engagement ring the woman does.
Okay, well, there you go. But I would never stand for that.
So that would be the reason it looks like you got married
because you got two rings. I don't blame the news. But you
know, but they didn't ask me they didn't call me that didn't
say hey, what's going on? It was just a fact. Fake, not
approachable, fake news. They got my number they got my
number. They got my number.
So nobody, no way. Hold on a second. Are you telling me that
not one member of the media. In Hollander, they were they dog
you for some reason from many decades ago. They had been dug
in you ever since. Not one member of this dish. This
vaunted crew of journalists even bothered to call to confirm
anything, they probably wouldn't have gotten a scoop.
Not a single one. Not a single one. And obviously, today, let's
say let's tweet this out. I know what we'll do we'll say You said
so yes, I will say I say yes. Let's see what happens. So and
also for us is like I don't have to go explain everybody. But
we're not married yet is an engagement. Yeah, like Screw
you. That's our private business. How we celebrate
our well if it's your private business, why are you posting it
on all the social networks while there
I just gave you the answer to see what happened. And guess
what, exactly what happened is fake news. There was just an
interesting little experiment. And we were of course also
happy. Okay, yeah, so not married John. Sorry. That's
fine. You have a wager?
Yeah, I lost 50 cents. I should have made a wager with you.
That'd have been better.
Well, again, you even took care Got it for what you're talking
about you tweeted something you didn't take
credit for it of course I took credit for it. I do wonder
should take credit for it. It's all me.
It is. It's true in an odd way some of that is true. And of
course she also has great health insurance I have to say that's
pretty Oh
now you're talking
now I got it now I get it. All right, everybody. This is the
best podcast in the universe as you can tell from the snappy
banter and the awesome sound quality when you're talking to
the back of them and the the expertise of our hosts
talking into the back of the minds, right, everybody? That's
right, if it sounds that good, I'm gonna use them more often.
Hey, I
got to say something right off the bat. People 2016 I don't
know if you've been seeing you don't have face back, John. But
this 20 Like 2016 sucked. 2016 was no good. worst year ever.
People have turned into blizzarding morons because
celebrities are dying. And care about anything else. But oh, not
another one. Oh, no. Not
from old mostly are Durrett. So
when people love and like Debbie Reynolds name one thing Debbie
Reynolds did. I'm not saying that she didn't have a career
but come on and was just singing
in the rain. Yes, it's
true. No, it's pathetic. It's
really actually a Hotel Casino in Vegas for a while. Yeah, I
remember that. The Debbie Reynolds hotel.
But my point is, yeah, people die. You know, there's no life
without death. Well, I
think what's interesting is Debbie Reynolds died the day
after.
I don't think it's interesting. I think it's very normal. Your
kid dies you're heartbroken you fuck it die. Yeah, no, I
understand. I think I would probably
just somebody taking note of the time code on that one.
Please time coach Mind Code. Yes. But this but to me it
really showed the obsession with celebrities there were a number
of years ago there were a lot of celebrities who who died but
there were also other people who died I mean no one talks about
Rick Parfitt of status quo who died
you know an average all be died who's kind of a playwright
celebrity but I don't even remember him dying. They just
died. I guess in February something I don't remember
anybody paying any attention. One of our great players do rude
guy rodeo Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Among other good
plays, Richard Adams
died. Who's that? Watership Down? Water. Oh, yeah.
Right. There's another one. I watched the I watched the ABC
2016 rundown. Ah, now
you're talking.
I'm sure you know, maybe I'll get some clips for Sunday. But
if you don't have a clip off, I don't have I don't need clips.
To tell you
about this, though. Go ahead. Give it what was on the rundown.
What was the celebrities,
celebrities, celebrities, deaths. There was not one
mention in the entire two hour period of Syria? No, well,
why bother? And I wanted to say something about George Michael
briefly because I have warned for this. I said it was going to
happen. I'm from the future. It wasn't that hard to predict. And
the hypocrisy it it actually riles me up a little bit. George
Michael, who I consider to be a great songwriter at one of the
best of my time really loved his songs. This guy was a first of
all, as I've said many times when he released in 2000 when
George Bush just became president W. He released the
show or HW
W he released shoot the shoot the dog video which showed Tony
it was an animated video Tony Blair has the lapdog of George
W. Bush and it was fractious. Oh, you're horrible. It's kinda
like the Dixie Chicks. You know, or like Michael Moore when he
first railed against the bush and whoa, whoa, you can't do
this. And then he got excoriated as particularly in the UK. It
happens. Phil Collins, by the way, Phil Collins put him on the
Deadpool list. He's next to go. Phil Collins,
the oldest Phil Collins.
He's in his 60s he ran off with Yeah, but he's been ill. He ran
off with a nanny Phil Collins can buy a hit anymore. In the
UK, Georgia, Miko was excoriated now a couple of things. One,
this guy. I've met him several times. T was in 8889. He was so
afraid that young girls would not buy his music. If they found
out he was gay. He was really really harsh on that up. Okay,
that's his business and he was kind of forced out and 89 and
90. But he was a drug addict. Everybody knew it. We all knew
it. He smoked weed. He did coke. He did the GH
Be every man for the heart. Yeah, but
everybody knew it. Everybody knew it. We all knew it. And now
Oh, love annoyed. Oh, here's me. You picture with George Michael,
that you people who do that you're fucking sick time code.
You're sick. You're sick. Okay? You did nothing to say this man.
You don't give a shit about him. You don't care. You do not care.
You're now just for your own ego. It's disgusting.
Are you talking to the Facebook? People?
Yes, of course.
There's none of that. I doubt anybody that listens to this
show is on Facebook.
What do you mean? We have a huge Facebook group. Oh, it's uh,
that really bothers me. Hypocrites. They're just picking
off the cadaver now.
Oh, yes, a bunch of brain dead celebrity mavens. This is what
I've seen that 2016 rundown from ABC, which is the Disney Channel
was nothing but just celebrity crap. And I think the most of
the time was chewed up by the Brangelina rake up. Yeah, that
was the biggest event in 2016. You
know, what's really interesting at this point is we have the
Trump inauguration on the way. And as we discussed, not a
single big brand name celebrity would even consider doing it
because they know their career would be over. Look at Kanye
West, he can be I can kiss his career goodbye, because of all
the things he said and why the clip about that in a minute. But
what I find interesting, and I don't know if it was I can't
quite put the timeline together. I don't know if they really were
trying to find celebrities. I think they were I think they
really did think they had Elton John. And then that turned out
to be not true or that he didn't confirm or whatever it was. But
now the the messaging is, hey, this is not about celebrities.
This is about people. It's about the American people. It will
have an American people celebration. And that's where we
don't care about the celebrities. However, the
obsession with mainstream media that you cannot do anything if
you don't have the celebrities on your side. Well, a few might.
I mean, who gives a crap about you? If you don't have any
celebrities? And you recall the Republican National Convention,
it was ah, they have Scott bale. They got your Chatzky. Well, let
me play it for you. The CO creator of The Daily Show Lizz
Winstead, I have never seen this woman. And she just her opening
statement says enough about how this highly political show
thinks about celebrities and the necessity for them. And well
just have a listen. As it's all the obsession with celebrities,
you basically cannot be President of the United States.
If you don't have celebrities on your side. First
of all, when you look at celebrity and premise, those are
crummy celebrities. So like the basis of his celebrity outreach
is terrible. Oh, God,
hold on a second. So everybody who's on that show, which
includes a lot of actual celebrities within that not a
list, but right now I've now been excluded. insulted by this
woman. Yeah.
Yeah. Because he didn't know because he doesn't have a big
pool. Anyway, he's fishing in the in the B, C, and D Liberty
pool, obviously.
Lucy, what is she this this show is about apprentices that are
kind of well known that are going to learn something it's
not they're not going to bring in what do you what do you think
John Travolta is going to do this show? Are they nuts? That's
never gonna happen.
I bet you if you asked him he would.
But that's, I think somebody like Travolta hasn't got the
time or Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise is busy. Yeah.
Yeah. But then, you know, to me, it was just accentuating the
point that how hung up people are on celebrities. They're not
all we need in culture. Alright, let's continue. First of all,
when you look at Celebrity Apprentice, those were crummy
celebrities. So like the basis stop.
This woman sounds like that Vivian Schuler woman with them,
advertising, whatever you want to call it. It's a whole depth
telling us a genetic type.
Let's see if I can find that. It's a genetic type. Like Vivian
Schiller, and let me see. Was it NPR advertised? And if I can't
find it, rich Rodriguez. I can't find it. Don't worry about it. I
think you're probably right.
We base this on his celebrity outreach is terrible. But I
think to your point, so when you think of the a list celebrities
that are out there now, women, black and brown people,
immigrants, like for somebody who ran a campaign and won an
election saying the rights, I'm going to strip rights away from
you. I think they're human beings who said you want to know
what I don't think I'm gonna celebrate you when you want to
literally destroy the lives of me and my family.
Literally literally literally destroy the light literally just
coming in there like a bull in a china shop
at you when you want to literally destroy the lives of
me and my family. And remember Elton John performed that rush
limbaugh's wedding and it was the same thing horrible
backlash. It's like, why would you help celebrate somebody who
literally, literally completely criticizes everything that
you're about and your way of
life? Yeah, I don't think so. I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh a
lot. Does he literally criticize everything? Everything about his
thing every
way of all he does literally. Yeah, Mark criticizes you and
your crappy life.
Completely criticizes everything that you're about and your way
of life.
Yeah, Mark Ross is a concert promoter and the son of the late
Time Warner CEO Steve Ross is in the process of putting together
a large scale concert called diet.
This is this is my favorite. This has been brewing for a
while. It started off with basically a poster. Like Where'd
you get this? This is MSNBC, of course, Joy Reid course the
superstar. And so they started with the poster with just a
whole bunch of names. It was free concert the same day as the
inauguration. All the celebrities are going to be
there. We're creating something else for people to watch,
besides the horrible, horrible ceremony, which will be now with
the 45th time, the horrible ceremony of swearing in the
president. No, no, we need to create something counterculture.
And of course, because it's celebrities, no one will watch
the inauguration. Everybody will watch the concert because
I'm putting together a large scale concert called We the
people which would directly counter this inauguration.
According to Ted Ross. He's saying that celebrities are
actually clamoring to get in the talent, our doors to do this.
I mean, I think it's great for a number of reasons. I think it
shows solidarity. I think it gives people who literally don't
want to watch this person get sworn in literally thing to
watch. I think it's always nice to gather around and feel like
hey, we can move forward. And I think it's a reminder that Trump
couldn't get people I mean, not only can he not get A listers,
he can barely be listeners, I don't think he can get Craig's
listeners at this point. I'm thrilled that people are trying
to do anything to counter this.
Hey, Greg, listeners, now you're talking. This is this It's
disturbing to hear how important is
smug jerk off.
The fun continued with the traditional year end winner or
loser segment over there to MSNBC. And so this again is joy,
read am Joy, everybody enjoy it, whatever show is. And she has on
the roots political editor. Now the roots, I believe is a
website that is affiliated with NBC, or maybe just MSNBC. Then
they have the political editor Jason Johnson on black guy.
matter matters in this case. And they do the typical who is the
winner and who's the loser. hilarity ensued
biggest winner Vladimir Putin, he did. He did what Gorbachev
couldn't do. He did what Castro couldn't do. He basically took
over the United States and got himself a Manchurian Candidate.
And that is something that no other Russian leader has been
able to do. And he'll be cheering about this. And this
will be in history books for the next 50 years.
That's amazing. Merging is the global hegemony after we
defeated them in the Cold War. It's It's shocking. Exactly.
It's
just shocking. It's just shocking. Why are they talking
about the Manchurian Candidate?
That's why Joe is this who are these lunatics? This
is joy Reid, this is MSNBC this, enjoy reading the news channel.
So Putin Putin is the big winner because it's unbelievable the
hegemony of the world because they have the Manchurian
Candidate. Rather now who do you think the loser is according to
political editor of the route? Hillary now loser? No, no, no
loser.
Just supportive Republicans with the support of Republicans in
support of our brand new president. Yeah,
The Biggest Loser, Kanye West. Political
starts here with Life of Pablo, it seems like it's fine. But the
problem is he exemplifies what happens when you try and mix pop
culture and politics and make the wrong decisions. He came out
against Black Lives Matter. He said that racism is bad. And now
he's allied himself with Trump had to cancel concerts. People
don't respect that people don't like him. He may be the only
person performing at the inauguration. This is a year
that shows you your politics.
They're condemning him for saying racism is bad. Yeah.
That's what they said.
Yeah, that's what he said. I'm sure they didn't mean he didn't
mean they didn't mean to say that. But that's what he said. I
know. I know. Kanye knows what he did. Remember, this is a
whole thing. Remember the MTV thing you can keep Kanye? We
know what you did. Kanye went to see
the problem is he exemplifies what happens when you try and
mix pop culture and politics and make the wrong decisions. He
came out against Black Lives Matter. He said that racism is
bad. And now he's allied himself with Trump had to canceled
concerts, people don't respect them. People don't like him. He
may be the only person performing at the inauguration.
This is a year that shows you pop culture stuff
well, and also remember that hip hop's origins was always about
fighting injustice and being on the side of progressives, not on
the side of Donald Trump.
Not on the side of Donald Trump. Gotcha. That's what hip hop is
all about not being on the side of Donald Trump. Oh, it's
painful. You know, I do like these periods in between
Christmas and New Year, because you get a combination of this
totally moronic, moronic stuff with a bunch of morons, I will
say, just talking crap. But sometimes they let someone in
who's really smart. And all of a sudden some guy like, Oh, hold
on a second, what? How'd he get on you notice this.
They have a booking problem and a lot of these networks, they
can't get enough people and so they somebody wormed their way
in through a PR person and then they find out that it's a
mistake.
Right? Well, what was interesting is an article came
out in Mother Jones which of course by many is seen as a
bastion of free independent journalism, which I'm pretty
sure they're not I'm pretty sure they receive plenty of
government funding. I could be wrong but we've looked at him
I'm not necessarily I don't see him getting government funding.
Oh, we could look at it again. What did they get? I don't want
to say Soros that's too easy.
Well, it's beside the point let's go in the perception is
that they're independent
the perception is that they're independent Yes. I thought they
got money from the didn't get money for the endowment the
National Endowment for Democracy I have no idea but we'll look
into anyway so on the on the in the show on the screen here in
the shot MSNBC again, is we're gonna have the author of this
article. Here's the intro to it
right from Mother Jones claims a Russian operation has been
working for years to cultivate and assist Donald Trump. Now the
story says that a former senior intelligence officer claims he
gave the FBI evidence that quote, there was an established
exchange of information between the Trump campaign and the
Kremlin of mutual benefit. The former spy also reportedly said
the FBI responded to the evidence with quote, shock and
horror. And the spy believes that FBI investigation is
underway.
Okay, so that obviously caught my attention.
I liked the idea of using a character on the as one of your
Mystery Men on the show as and just call him the spy of a spy
and the spy says this in the spy says that in the spy so that's
and he reports back that they were stunned by this revelation.
Well, that's kind of what it is because once you got the guy on,
but forget his name. Once you got him on, that's pretty much
what it is. Yeah, well, the spy said this in the spy like watch.
I met this foreign.
What's his name? Corn David Corn, I think is his name. That
makes sense. David Corn. Yeah, thanks. So corn.
Yeah. David Corn. He's the worst.
Tell me about him. What do you know about him? Well, he's
like us with the nation with one of these one of these news
magazines look him up Google him or not Google and find what
magazine he works for. He is on this MSNBC all the time with the
worst material. It's just like, it's just crazy stuff is he's
he's closest thing to the babies in the, in the, in the cow water
or whatever it was.
Babies and cows. Is
that what you're talking about? Yeah. Babies in cows.
Gods for 25 years. They've been growing babies and cow
egg. Yeah. All right. Well,
the cast by the way.
And, yeah, well, that makes nothing but sense because he's
talking out of his butthole I
met this former senior intelligence officer who's
really an expert and specialist in Russia and
counterintelligence for a intelligence service that we all
would respect, and learned that he had been sending very
detailed memos to the FBI throughout much of the summer,
based on his own work that he did with Russian sources.
Let's, let's start with the premise here. Oops. Emmett.
Let's start with the premise. You we have a senior
intelligence officer with some well known agency, which has to
be one or two or three only.
Why is he talking about a US agency? Or is he talking about
FSB? Or is he saying it's a counter spy for one of our
agencies? Who's over there reporting back?
Well, whoever it is, he's not going to talk to David Korn
under any circumstances. Ever. It's just not going to happen.
He's not you can't do that. It's like, you know, this is a good
way to get your ass in a sling. So that's not happening. So
that's the premises off
you, you doubt the integrity of Mother Jones. And so
I, I see it as some either the guy's just a BS artist, which
would be great to get one of these and then just make stuff
up and tell him all this crazy stuff. The second thing is if he
is doing anything like he describes, he's not reporting to
the FBI, ever, the FBI, he doesn't work for the FBI, they
don't cut him checks. He's not calling them up and telling them
stuff to do. This is all crap
that he did with Russian sources, that was indicating
that there had been a Russian operation to for a couple years
now to co op and cultivate Donald Trump. And he believes,
you know, in terms of the response he got from the FBI,
they asked him for more information. And he provided
that this was a subject matter that they were, of course,
keenly interested in,
was he able to reveal to you what information he provided?
Well, I
saw that some of the memos he sent and the memo.
Yeah, they were faxes, take a look at
my top secret memos. Who I don't know from Adam here read my top
secret memos, because I don't care about my job, or security
or anything. I'm a crappy spy, to be honest about it.
And in the memos, he he doesn't identify the sourcing by name,
but though he describes it, and I'm sure to the FBI, you could
give the actual names. But it'd be something like a foreign
minister, official official, a former Russian intelligence
officer, or somebody who was at the hotel when this meeting
happened, says this that the other thing so that's sort of
the level Wait
a minute, wait, that isn't it now there's your spy craft right
there. What is that? The other thing What did the guy say?
Well, you know, he's
says this that the other thing is that
the other thing is fact fact check false, I say
so that's sort of the level of detail that he would get into
now.
So and if you read the article is very long and it's just as
dumb as this pretty much but the reason I bring up Putin is
because we have a new jingle to play and whenever we have a new
jingle I get really excited particularly if they're really
good I think you might want to be sitting down for this one I'm
sitting
down I'm ready.
Blue and you don't know where those things news Why don't you
get your get dressed up like a million dollar true. Trying not
to look like Anderson Cooper. Calm let's mix with John Podesta
walks with kids. I mean pizzas in his mid booted on the race
Hell yeah. Good who did
that Secret Agent Paul. Yeah, he's done all the good really?
If you look he's done a
good saying he's got a nice s mocking voice chops.
He's done. He's got chops. Yes. Diane Sawyer drunk again. He's
done F cancer the Al Shabaab Shabaab. Al Qaeda Elvira I mean
guys done so much.
I'm glad he has enough time on his hands to draw draws a bone
he actually doesn't have a lot of time on his hands. But he's
no
actually what I'm thinking. That's what I meant. And he
really obviously a guy like that is busy. But did the promise do
with the creative types? If I may interrupt? Yes. Is that a
lot of them is sufficient. They're like, no agenda people.
Yeah. They will. It'll something will come to them. That is like
no agenda related. The little jingle like that. And because of
your creative you actually have to get
it out of your system. Yes. You're spot on. You got it.
Or it'll sit there and fester. Yes. And if clog you up, yeah.
And so he had to do that to get it out of the system. And okay,
now I get back to my real job.
Yeah. Good. Who that meant Nice. Made it. Yeah, you're right.
You're right. It's great. Okay, so what we're talking about
Putin there a couple of things that are interesting that
happened just in the last 2448 hours. And I believe these two
news stories are related. There is now a deal. An oil deal
between any and Rosneft to any is the Italian oil company,
Rosneft being a Russian oil or gas I'm not sure I guess it's
oil.
Rush that I think it's mostly gas, isn't it? I'm looking
at the article. Now it says oil giant Rosneft. Okay, so they're
taking a 30% stake in the giant Tsar gasfield, which is offshore
of Egypt. My My point being that there are now moves. And we're
seeing stakes in oil companies. And of course, my assertion has
always been this whole thing started with an argument over
whose pipeline was it either going to be Russia's pipeline,
Iran, Iraq, Syria, boom up to Cyprus, then into Greece into
Europe? Or was it going to be Qatar and Saudi Arabia and the
Turks? And you can clearly see that all sudden, you know, hey,
those guys seem to be fighting those guys. So maybe it is all
about that. As of this says, now, now shares are being sold
back and forth. And Putin, I guess, last night announced
ceasefire agreements in Syria, three documents signed seems
that maybe we have something happening which of course is
happening without the watermelon head, which must urge him to no
end.
No, they get can actually be irked.
He got he got an earful. So staying on Putin for a moment. A
sit down. It was an interesting little ditty. Lindsey Graham and
John McCain. Were doing interviews together, like an old
gay couple sitting next thing with a fireplace in between him
see this. It's pretty funny. I know, who advised him on that.
Somebody with a sense of humor? Oh, that's true. He's had
multiple opportunities. And I do want you to answer Senator
Graham to both before and after the election to a set except
that assessment and yet, he's doubled and tripled down on on
talking about a cozy relationship with Putin denying
the intelligence community's assessment. What are you going
to do Senator Graham and Senator McCain, if he doesn't change his
tune in effect on Russia,
there are 100 United States senators, Amy Klobuchar is on
this trip with us. She's a Democrat from Minnesota, I would
say that 90 died of us believe the Russians did this. And we're
going to do something about it along with Senator McCain after
this trips over, we're gonna have the hearings, and we're
gonna put sanctions together that hit Putin as an individual
and his inner circle for interfering in our election. And
they're doing it all over the world, not just in the United
States. Estonia is hit all the time. They're interfering in
elections and democratic countries, efforts to self
determination all over the world is just not in our backyard.
Oh, man. Guys ruining everybody's day. That's no good.
Oh, yeah. I've
said this before. I want to say it again. All right. Why did the
Republicans who took this election, they got the house,
they got the Senate, they got the president, they wouldn't
have gotten the president. If the Russians had only thing they
may have hacked wouldn't be the DNC even though all evidence
points to the guy who was shot dead in the streets, who was
working for the Republican Party and decided that it was they
were they were bad. There are bad actors. When it came to
Bernie that was working for the Democratic Party, not
Republican. It was I'm sure it's working for the Democratic
Party. And then he saw what was going on with Bernie how they
were screwing him over. So they released the stuff to WikiLeaks,
that's really the easiest thing that Podesta emails were simple
fishing expedition that anybody could do. If they just go to,
you know, the dark web and look up and get a few scripts, you
can do it yourself. So so the Russians involvement is zero the
way I see it, but that's okay. Let's blame them. And then we
can also say to ourselves as Republicans, we probably would
have lost it would have been Hillary as the president. I
mean, is that what they're trying to do was put Hillary in
what is wrong with these people?
This only solidifies the argument that political parties
are both owned and operated by the same people on the back end.
It's all about the money. It's the military industrial complex,
although I believe Donald Trump is going to up the spending more
than we even can believe, I think.
Yeah, probably. And then the complaining will stop.
Yeah, although the NDAA, which President Obama signed to
stealthily Friday, that actually, as we read increases,
the the money, the budget by three, three or 5 billion. So
that's on the numbers that we can see. And it increases
personnel, we read those amendments. So it's actually
more money going in then than was expected. I correction, I
have to point out incorrectly on the previous episode when we
were talking together. 888. We miss identified McCain as being
a prisoner of war of Korea instead of Vietnam. Now,
right? Well, the point remains the same. They were actually the
Vietnam War was a proxy war, the Russians were helping the North
Vietnamese because the Chinese wouldn't.
Right. So there's two things I want to say about that. By the
way, the guy
who told us this guy really bent out of shape about it, I blocked
him. I was so annoying. Oh, amen.
Well, you know, he was being a little shit timecode because he
was being annoying. He was being annoying about it. But he said,
Hey, yeah, it mean, all he had to say was, hey, you messed up
and we say, oh, yeah, shoot, you're right now my
disappointment is in the chat room. They may have been
screaming we have done it wrong because of all the comedians in
the cut in the chat room I can always catch everything out of
the corner my eyes so guys work with the program. And don't be
all I mean you should have seen the Reddit John like we can't
trust them anymore if they can't even get that right what else is
raw? There are a ball there Trump's apart her just never
ends.
You got a new voice you use it. Yeah, that's pretty good. Well,
the evil read it. Oh, no. Well, I do have a fake. I have a
German connection to what yours last story if you're going to
play a gig.
I know exactly what you're going to do. Let's play it. I love
this. This is fantastic.
This is a clip fake news. In Germany.
Yes. And now the fear of perceived propaganda or fake
news has spreading. Let's stop
right there. All of a sudden, and I thought this switcheroo
was quite entertaining. They have switched. And I think this
is something that's going on and all the media Fake news is not
fake news. Like the like, you know, crazy news has got nothing
to do with anything fake news now equates to Russian.
Specifically she didn't say specifically fake news equals
Russian propaganda. Russian disinformation. Yeah, isn't that
fascinating? All
right. It's no it's beautiful the way that goes? Let me just
and now the fear of perceived propaganda or fake news has
spread to Europe. In Germany, there are concerns that its 2017
parliamentary vote will be undermined. Peter Oliver
explains.
We saw it in the United States. Fake News, fake news, fake news,
fake news, fake news, the fake news fake news. Now fake news
from Russia is being touted as the biggest threat to the 2017
Bundestag election in Germany.
We are having to deal to some extent with information coming
out of Russia as well as cyber attacks originating from Russia.
Coping with this is an everyday task for us.
Over the last couple of months, Germany security bigwigs have
been preparing us
there is growing evidence of attempts to influence the
Bundestag election in the coming year, we expect a further
increase in cyber attacks in the run up to the election.
In fact, Germany is so concerned about fake news, the 2017 will
see the establishment of the country's own defense CENTER
AGAINST disinformation. Nothing at all, like Orwell's ministry,
some fake right again, cheap clicks and cop paid. Writing
fake
propaganda time, Bob Seger,
you kind of stepped on the punch line, but that's okay.
I heard it. Well. Do you want to reiterate it that I'm sorry?
I didn't. Yeah, he's just he's just making fun of the fact that
this is the Ministry of Truth from 1984. Yeah.
So this is interesting. This is not law.
This is good. This is a little different than the way that we
did it. We just after the fact dream this crap up. They're
doing a pre announcement.
Yeah. And of course, this is not law. Yet. This is something that
they want to put on the books, and I'm talking about a 500,000
euro fine, per fake news item. And it really sticks. Yeah,
that's the number stick stick. Stick to forgive them to what
Facebook did wrong is and Twitter now is also saying, Oh,
we're a media company. This is about the dumbest thing you can
do. Hello, Yahoo. This is the Yahoo How am I am Yahoo. We're a
media company. They had 15 CEOs, a media company. The minute you
start, they have do you have the Digital Millennium Millennium
Copyright Act. And you can have a safe harbor If so, hey, you
know, we don't edit anything. People put stuff up there. You
know, if you had a legal thing, we'll take it down. But now once
you get into the business of actually changing content,
deleting it editorializing, then you no longer qualify under the
Safe Harbor stipulation. So these guys will get regulated
out of business. It's goodbye. Goodbye.
That was I agree with this fact I've written about this years
ago when the issue first came up with the early like even MySpace
and some of these things before that. Yeah. They made geo cities
they made a huge point that we got nothing to do with what
these people are posting. Yeah. If we had something to do with
it that night you could sue us but we got nothing to do with
it. We're just like a common carriers for the use always say
we're like a phone company. We do the phone come doesn't
regulate the conversation between you and another guy. And
that's what we're doing here geo cities. So now these idiots and
I agree with you 100% This is the stupidest thing you could
do. Yes. Which is to all of a sudden say that now you're a
media company so now you're liable liable for everything so
dumb.
So they're gonna get like slander suits. libel suits is
the sort of thing go right after Twitter. They got the money.
This poor schmuck that posted it, you're a moron. It's got no
money, but you can say well, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter
approve it. I can't believe it. This is the naivete. This is not
the naivete I wrote about this.
naivety of people who actually believe they own the truth.
That's the naivety.
Well, no, it's the naivete of the Silicon Valley mentality.
This is the same thing with Uber, when they decided all of a
sudden that they don't need permits from the state of
California to run autonomous tests all over the place, right
killing people. They don't care. No, no, we don't have to take
your permit. Screw you
by and this is this. By the way, the Associated Press has heard
you. And in their most recent style guide. Here is a rule.
Services such as Uber and Lyft are ride hailing services or
ride booking services. Don't call them ride sharing services.
Very good job.
That's where the wild ride hailing comes from. It makes
sense. Yeah, that's anyway, this is the kind of dumb Nighy This
is the naivete of the kind of millennials that are running in
Silicon Valley. These sorts of companies, not all of them,
obviously. But they're dumb. They don't know what the heck's
going on. And they're making these sorts of errors that have
been already we've already gone through this in the 80s. Just
looking at look at Yahoo, are you blind? Yes. Well, there's
Yahoo.
Yahoo was the media company. And when they brought in Terry, what
was his name, but Terry
Semel came in, and he was going to turn into a massive media
company and then
AOL Time Warner massive media company, we're gonna rule
everything.
Right, that fell apart immediately thereafter, the
merger in history, pretty much. Yeah, I'd say. And, well,
these guys are making mistakes.
Yes. And it was kind of a little bit of a side note, I got an
email from the White House from President Obama got an email
from President Obama. Oh, he did? Yeah. Is it hey, would you
like to receive a handwritten thank you note? Like yeah, I
want that now go perfect with my Hillary Clinton invitation to
the
get this memo I'm on his list. I donated
to everyone's campaign that's how I got all the you got
to the A list but what they call in the mail order business the
hot list
on the Hot List tonight yeah, I want that. Fill out my name.
Boom, click okay. Oh, yes. Next page. Yeah. Do you want to
support Democrats and like No, no way to skip it till you're
forced you're forced into into paying which I didn't do of
course you had to pay if you want the Thank you. No, yeah,
you don't get
Oh, that stinks. What does he need money for? Is he running
again for the Democratic
National for the DNC, and but then I got follow up emails. So
you're almost there. One more step. You almost have to thank
and I'm not going to do that. But then they sent me another
note. Become a fan activist.
Blue Yeah, hold on. Let me write that down.
I know I know factor vist. I got the pulling up the email now.
Called up with that one.
Want to get exclusive news and updates about Donald Trump and
his fellow Republicans and share the facts about the GOP with
your friends and family sign up to become a factor list. So I
sign up sure you do next page. Donate No, I want to I don't
want to pay you to be effective hissed.
Why should you have to pay to be effective list?
Well, it's obviously a ruse. It's just a way to get on the
mailing list. It's a ruse. It's a ruse. And
you never got your sign. Thank you. No,
because I didn't I didn't pony up. No, I didn't chip in. Ship
in CIF activist check false. Gary Yuengling producer of the
show, recalled a in regards to fake news. A PSA we played on
episode 571 May 30 2013. He actually sent me the clip from
the show but it went back and got the original PSA, which was
from the National Association of Broadcasters. It was your clip,
as always kind of interesting in the context of fake news today,
what the NAB was talking about just three or four years ago,
in times of joy, in moments of grief. We are there When the
world looks for truth, broadcasters come through, even
when all else fails. Today with more ways than ever to
experience the moments that transform our lives, Americans
still choose broadcast television and radio. More than
all other media, combined. Television and Radio are still
the most trusted sources for news and entertainment. And our
web and social sites are among the most visited sites in our
daily lives. When important moments happen, both big and
small. We're the first informers to history. We are the pioneers
and innovators. The local broadcasters of radio and
television, reaching more people touching more lives. Fact Check
false.
Great. We Yeah, we are the trustor I got that we are
trusted, but you can trust us.
You read that?
Alright, everybody. That's it.
Ping pong balls of fake news.
Love. All right. Well, I can talk. I still want to talk about
it. Take a break and talk about the party. The meetup. Yeah, a
little bit.
Yeah. I'd love to hear a little bit about it now, but maybe you
should not. Did you do Disneyland the first day of the
second day?
We did Disneyland on Christmas.
To do it in order to talk about Christmas first.
Let's see. What do we do first freshmen to dinner I think at a
cafeteria. Wow. Okay, not that. Okay. Yeah, there we go to
Disneyland. And we leave early. I have to say this. I've never
seen anything quite like this. And we were stunned. I say by
the freeway traffic on Christmas. It was like It's like
the world had ended and nobody was out. They were all gone.
They all left the area. I have never seen traffic like this.
There was nobody on the roads. And apparently what was going on
was they were already at are going to Disneyland. I talked to
one of the police guys as we went into Disneyland, which was
all dolled up for Christmas. And in fact, they rewrote a number
of the rides and the storylines in the rides themselves for
Christmas. I'm under the impression that from Halloween
until New Year's for example, the haunted house ride. Yeah,
totally different. Right. You haven't? If you haven't been on
the house,
the haunted house right at Halloween. Okay. Yes, it is
different. Yeah. Totally different.
Right. And the one that's a real head scratcher, even though some
people didn't want to go on it. But we did at least a half of
the family did
is the fairy dirt land ride.
Which is also known as it's a small world. Oh, yeah. That the
dead dead? Dead.
It's a small world after all. Yeah,
that song is just now part of a medley of tunes for the
Christmas period, which is mostly Jingle bells, jingle
bells, and all the rest of these Christmas. All of a sudden blow
in and they've changed everything in sides, like the
what happened. And so that was interesting. And then they've
also liked in the right, I took a movie, have it have the entire
ride
copyright violation somewhere?
Oh, there's tons. It's all copyright violations. I'll post
it and they'll let it take get taken down. And it's 16 minutes.
Wow, that's that's pretty long.
They think lengthen the right it seems. And of course it was also
bumping into the was loaded with traffic was in the boats are
bashing into each other constantly. Same thing with
Pirates of the Caribbean, although they didn't change the
storyline. They put Christmas gifts everywhere. And also the
African ride where you go through Africa and the boat had
quads. That totally changed who they got. They got they got
every elephants and everything are in Santa suits and got crap
hanging off of them.
Nicholas,
were any of the Devorah Hi, when you went there, because I
think it would have been a good idea.
Yeah, if you had me out there, I would have arranged it. Now the
thing
is, is that the I was told by one of the police security guys
that we chatted with are waiting for people. And he says Oh,
Christmas is the is the most crowded. Period ever. Every year
is the same. He says Do not leave the park. Because if you
leave the park you'll never get back in because every year the
fire marshal shuts it down. Okay. No bar people are allowed
in. Good tip. And so there's so they so we stayed in there,
watch the food all the way to the fireworks and then we left
and I thought it was you know it was so crowded. That it was It
was actually interesting. It was so crowded because they, they
they're struggling with trying to keep you know, people getting
on and off rides and they're at this it looks like it was just a
total struggle. We went finally went to this restaurant that
blew by you, which is next to club 33. I'll post a picture of
myself standing next. That burned down. Now this is a
Disney Club 33 Yeah, I know. That's not a disco. It's a
lounge. Yeah,
inadvertently, every year we get about 15 emails of people saying
I found club 33 to Disneyland. Yeah, we don't think
so the bayou place is not recommended. Well, at least on a
crowded day, I thought it would for one thing. It's pitch black
inside and you can't see your own food. I find that annoying.
And it's got some, and then the boats from the Pirates of the
Caribbean go right by it. So these guys are watching us eat.
That's kind of my report from Disney. I thought it was fun. It
was fun. All right, thank you. We'll continue with this story.
In the next breakthrough, if you like it,
how about you don't want to talk about the meet up or you want to
do that?
No. Well, then I guess we're gonna do an order like you
insisted. I have to talk about the Disney movie next. The Rogue
One? Yeah,
do that. And then we'll talk about the meetup. In the second
segment, it'll be block D.
Okay, Rogue One. So we went to the 9am showing. And I'd say
this theater huge theaters a beautiful anyone who goes to Los
Angeles, you go to the El Capitan, watch a movie, it's one
of the great experiences that you'll ever have. It's a
beautiful place and and it's owned by Disney. So they got it
all fixed up. So when you watch the movie, there's not only just
the movie, but there's a bunch of actual star troopers walking
around and they kinda stage as a guy gives a lecture before the
movie begins. So in the theater, how much was
the ticket? What was the ticket price?
20 bucks each. Okay. And so yeah, it's I think it's 20
Maybe, but anyway, it was nice to find people as honor bucks.
You know, it's better to donate. Yeah, so they have this new
they've got the new Dolby sound, which sounds like the old Dolby
sound to me. And they got the new laser projector, which does
I think as a as a negative attribute, which is does HDR
makes it so everything in a dimly lit scene, you can see all
the details because of the high dynamic range of the color of
the of the game, the gamut is bigger, and color dynamic range
is bigger. And so this is just going to encourage people to
shoot in the dark, it seems to me I'm not sure it's a good
thing. Because that movie was dubiously lit. I thought the
movie was personally sensitive. And they had some people that
were not there. They were dead for years, and they still have
them acting Oh, because what they've done is they've gotten
to the idea where they can just decode somebody's face with a
bunch of dots or something. And then they can transpose somebody
else's face on their face, and then they can act with somebody
else's face on now this
technology is I mean, it really does work. I mean, I've been
dead for
that works so well that when the movie was over, everybody talked
about it. But I said what? Because I guess they read about
it in advance because I didn't even notice it wasn't the same
guy. But then I think about this is the old man from the 1977
movie. How could he possibly be alive? Right, right. One of the
evil guys, you know, Lieutenant or Carrie Fisher? She's in the
movie. Yes, but it's not her either. They just mapped her
face onto something. And according to I think I heard an
interview with her where she says she wasn't didn't even give
permission for it. She said she was annoyed by this. And it
looked like her. I thought it was actually her little older.
But I'd mapped an older face, it seems I don't know. But that was
kind of that was very interesting. And I have to kudos
to that. But the story that's the whole thing. Everybody dies.
And, you know, it's explained to me that they were said to have
died in the 77 film and I hadn't seen well. Okay. I didn't think
much of it. That's that was pretty. Yeah. And they action
scenes were dynamite. But yeah, I don't know. I think I'm losing
interest in this Star Wars franchise. The thing is, I think
Disney was gonna really start emphasizing this. They're gonna
make them everyone's gonna go see this movie. Well, you
know why? I mean, I have to say that was the amount of people
who died in 2016. And the amount of time was spent for tributes
he was pretty much all spent on the only tribute that made sense
from a commercial aspect, which is you know, Star Trek. So we
don't want to talk about anything doesn't have any
commercial purpose at the moment. Star Wars Star Wars.
There you go Star Wars. I mean, yeah. Yeah, you got a dead
actress. Oh, let's talk about that the whole time. And every
single story was about Star Wars. Every story.
Yeah. A lot of tie ins toe is going to do very well
commercially, but I think people are going to I don't think this
is going to continue. I think they're gonna bank on this or
the Star Wars thing we got to make forever. I don't think so.
I think this thing is, is dying on the vine. Personally,
personally, I mean, you know, and I'm Morson you know, God
wasn't that wasn't really an interesting story. It was a it
was a kind of a suspenseful shoot 'em up kind of no plot,
right? We gotta get this map. Yeah, okay, let's go get the
map. So get them out. Don't
need to see it.
You don't need to see. That's what I would say yes, you don't
need I
watched that with Christina and I watch that Woody Allen movie,
the new one that Netflix that Amazon paid for?
Well, it's not a movie. It's just a series. He has
a movie out just released on Amazon. Paid for by Amazon. was
the name of it. So bad I can't even remember the name of it's

out for us. Thanks. With all the cannabis talk of late I thought
I'd share my experience. I was privileged to sit on a jury in
December. As it happened. It was a case of operating a vehicle
with THC in the system. It turns out while legal to possess and
use marijuana in many Michigan cities, it's illegal to have any
The amount of THC in your blood. Yes, any amount, right? Well,
this individual had open booze bottles a big no no in most
states. He was not drunk nor was he high. He was pulled over for
failing to move over for emergency equipment on the side
of the road. Wrong move. However, the arresting officer
did smell marijuana there were three baggies in the car. But
now I just have to I'm laughing because I Danny the drug dealer
moved to California to learn how to grow Yeah, and but you know
he says my my dealer like me I need some so he sends me this
stuff through US Postal Service. And I walk into the mailroom
here and like I think Danny sent his he's gonna smell Oh, hell
yeah. And he puts talcum powder in there and all kinds of stuff.
Oh, yeah, it's it's picked right off the vine there in California
is beautiful.
Bring out the dogs. Anyway, however, the arresting officer
did smell marijuana the subject was legal to possess but refused
a breath test is no breath test for marijuana. Hey, breathe in
my face.
And then he says, so blood was drawn under a warrant. This was
his downfall because they found THC even though he wasn't drunk.
Or I guess ha buzzed. Right. I'm only for a catch 22 marijuana
laws not being used all over the country because even as a non
user recognized this is BS. Start jingle here. Yes.
Bullshit. timecode this, this is a long overdue donation on my
not to my knighthood. Please, please, please play the Korean
news lady. Right. The ninja master the guy who could call a
million ninja for Putin. Don't think you have an ISO for this
one. I couldn't find it. Anyway.
What was that again? Say that again? Maybe?
He says it's the ninja masters. The guy who called a million
ninja for Putin. I don't remember this. He says he

the fiscal cliff scream okay. You want the order again? Yeah.
Korean news lady. Yeah, um, gang Gang. Gang. Yeah, we're all

Michelle Turpin, ski and L. Berta 23456 curiously followed
by another 1123456 Curiously, both of those checks IgM John
and Anima first time donor my was a first time donor I was
written to mouth by my incredible boyfriend, John
Billings. In May, I was immediately hooked on the first
podcast and haven't missed one since I'm noticing this more and
more. More people than I'd say four years ago, will listen to
one podcast and be hooked immediately. In the olden days,
it was always up we always had to tell people to listen to at
least three. What changed? I don't think it changed. I don't
think it's the podcast that changed that much. Instead of
calling John out as a douche bag or boyfriend, as he has been a
listener for over two years, apparently never spending any
money. I would like to send this donation as a Christmas present
towards his knighthood. Ah, although we live across key,
yeah, sweet. Although we live across Canada from each other.
I'm hoping this arrives just in time for when we'll be listening
to the podcast together. Oh, well, by this by the way, Adam,
is there a reason you call us Scandinavia? And John, I
wouldn't say Canadians think they are better than Americans.
From what I have seen. We mostly don't feel the need to argue
over it. Because you're superior. We are pretty easy
going. I would like to this is like the Los Angeles San
Francisco debate in certain years. And
I can tell you exactly why I do that. microaggression
is exactly yes. I would like to thank both candidates and
cropped up about two years ago and some sort of a
I think so I think someone said it somewhere.
I think someone said and we liked it. Of course we liked it.
And there's Canadia is the other was another good one. Canadia
Canadia and Canada Navia that are both winners.
It's close to people saying what do you speak in? In Dutch land?
Yeah, right. Exactly. All landish and it's definitely
micro aggressions yes at total microaggression admitted I would
like you to both men, I'd like to thank you both immensely for
opening my eyes to a whole other world I used to believe in
climate change because I watched one documentary on it. Before
listening to no agenda podcasts had very we have another weather
report today. I used to believe in climate change. Before
listening to the podcast, I had very little world knowledge or
ability to think critically. No agenda shows my only media diet
now as I don't watch any TV or movies. I don't know. Okay. I
don't know what I would do without the best podcast in the
universe. I love your interactions with each other
banter and literally laugh out loud commentary. I love the
humor you both bring as opposed to the fear mongering that is so
prevalent. Thank you for changing my worldview and
showing me what a slave I was. I'd like to request the
following. No, well, Obama No, no, no, no. Let's hold hands and
share a secret. And we are looking forward to my looking
forward with my twice weekly dose of sanity much love
Michelle. And
what is its TELUS secret? Oh man, I'm slow today. Tell the
secret was the other one. We Yes, the Wii. The Wii is so
popular. Okay, we can do this. You're in my house. There's no
winning.
We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere. But we
laugh a lot. Now everyone can share a secret.
You've got karma.
No, no, no, no in there, but that's fine.
Oh, that's sorry. I thought it wasn't no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no. That's okay. It was a good it was a good
combo. Chicken bitches. She
put one at the end. And we're gonna no
longer so do some of those great songs. Yes. Michelle. Michelle,
Cajun McKiernan in Roanoke, Virginia 23456. And she writes,
Dear John, and Adam has been about a year since our family's
last donation. That was like the end of the European we'll have
to catch up. Yeah. I was listening to show 887 When the
report on Italy referenced fake news, sounding exactly like the
mainstream media in the United States and referencing the same
stories. worldwide phenomenon New World Order. blame Russia
would when it was then that I realized we needed to support
the show that brings us real news, no agenda. Yeah, this year
has included many outstanding deconstructions of our
favorites. Being the US election and the Brexit coverage. We want
to keep our unparalleled podcast alive and close. Please defy
fine 23456 for the cause. If you can please play. Its trump the
president, followed by a little girl yay. Merry Christmas. Happy
New Year. Katie McKiernan and husband Tim daughters Morrigan

You've got karma down.
You are ridiculous. It's crazy. Again paid enough for Stuart
Morrison in South Yarra Victoria, Australia 230. And he
sends us a note.
Oh, that's exactly what it sounds like. Sir Stuart Morrison
of South Yarra here, he was starting to donate in light of
the foiled terrorist attack in Melbourne.
And it appears that Australia has received the Holy silho
citizens starter pack. The media is covering with as much
hyperbole gusto as ever and I shall send you some resources.
I'm open to be in the USA next July. And to sit at a medical
exam looking forward to meeting some more producers. Then all

request for
karma.
And karma. You've got karma. All right.
There we go. That is the group for a show 890. I want to thank
them all for producing this show. We actually literally,
literally, literally, and remind everyone that we do another show
coming up on Sunday short week to probably read the very few
donations because this list that we just read it for the last two
shows in reality, exactly. All credit was gone to show 890.
Well, thank you all very much. We will make note of our
stragglers on the 888, Sokka, eights. And of course, executive
producers, Associate Executive producers, you know the deal by
now these are real credits. You can use them anywhere, it seems
to function fine on your LinkedIn gets people interested
like, hey, producer, Executive Producer, so I'm going on with
that guy or that gal. And we will be thanking more people
later on $50 or above. And again, this is our value for
value model. Thank you so much for supporting us, thank
everybody for supporting us. But we love doing this the beginning
of the show. And remember, we have another show coming up on
Sunday
bora.org/n A, which means
you can be just in time to propagate the formula for New
Years. Our formula is this. We go out. We had people in the
mouth
you know, these this this credit roll is like the ones that use
on TV now where the shows actually, you know, it's five
minutes in 10 minutes in and then they start telling you
who's in the show and producers, right.
Yeah, that's what we do. Yeah, so
we're doing exactly what we're doing.
I wanted to talk for a moment about a couple. A couple of news
stories that kind of fit into an overall theme that we've
discussed before, but I had the pleasure of having my daughter
here for the past week. And I was able to ask her about it. As
you know, she is a full fledged member of the LGBT community and
and knows a lot about it. And is very, he speaks with me about
this with great ease. So we know that the attack, the attacks are
taking place against the incoming administration are
based mainly on race. Not draining the swamp filling up
the swamp hating women, and I think killing gays. I think it's
close to killing gays. And there. I mean, CBS, I don't know
who you are monitoring over the over the holiday. CBS really
took this to the extreme, I think insinuating all kinds of
McCarthyite type ideas. So
Nemo shared with CBS News requested details on existing
programs and activities to promote gender equality, such as
ending gender based violence, as well as the list of jobs that
handle those issues. It did not state why the information
was. So wife beating has become gender based violence,
I guess. Oh, good catch, by the way. I hadn't heard I didn't
catch that myself.
Interesting. Now there's another rephrasing of the language.
Oh, yeah. And this, of course, is about a memo that the Trump
administration asked for federal programs. And, you know, this
goes along with the everyone trying to copy their climate
change research because they're afraid that Trump will not
play. That's right. We didn't play that story. Yeah, but I did
have some clips from a couple shows. to go, that was the most
ridiculous thing. Oh my god, they're gonna cut the Gestapo
gonna come in and grab our records and burn them. Yeah.
Big public burning, like a book burning. Exactly got
it protected climate change records so they
said hey what what are the programs what federal programs
that we have LGBT? I'm sure they asked for all the programs
including energy and transportation. But this has
been micro. Whoa, this has been micro analyzed down to this. It
did
not state why the information was needed but raised concern
that the Trump administration might want to cancel State
Department initiatives championed by former Secretary
Hillary Clinton. The memo did not ask for the names of
officials who work on these programs. On like a
controversial questionnaire sent by the Trump team to the Energy
Department earlier this month. It requested a list of programs
and staffers essential to meeting the goals of President
Obama's Climate Action Plan. The questionnaire prompted House
Foreign Affairs Committee Democrats to urge Secretary
Kerry in a letter last week not to single out his employees, in
our view, gathering names in this manner, their striking
resemblance to dark chapters in our history marked by enemies
list and political witch hunt. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Wait a minute. Oh, yeah. So I'm asking him for some
memos. Yeah. And now all of a sudden, I'm McCarthy. Yes, a
memos are public documents. Yeah. Now this is I miss about I
miss this story. Whatever the story was that you played, I
don't have a clue what it meant.
What it okay. The idea is, the Trump administration is asking
for documents on all kinds of programs. And as it pertains to
LGBTQ it is now the story is, oh, yeah, they're looking
they're looking and looking and
taking names, taking names.
So another attack, which I think is quite
and this I don't believe this story. Oh,
well, it's true. I mean, it's
no I here's what I don't believe about it. What it makes it sound
as though they did one thing and one thing only of all the things
they've done over the past three or four weeks, They've only done
one thing, and that is asked for documents about gay programs.
Well, no, she says very specifically, there's my voice
is going again, is very specifically she says they also
did that for energy and for transportation.
Well, then what are we talking about here?
Propaganda, propaganda, making it scary making it so he knows
fake news. Exactly. Now, I'm not sure if this is fake or over
this time. I believe it's timed news. I think this took place
half a year ago. Didn't really have time to do the type of
investigating I'd like to, but the story comes out now. It is a
national story. Although I caught it on a local NBC
station, but it's an NBC I think it's an NBC package. And we have
to recognize before we play this, that the current president
of the Boy Scouts of America is also the incoming Secretary of
State Rex Tillerson Tillerson.
Yeah, something like tiller. Tiller said that the column
Tiller meant a lot like that. I think it's
Tillerson. Yeah. So if we're gonna make it a nickname for
him, that's the problem we have. We'll come up with it. Rex, big
Rex, big Rex. So let's cause some trouble for these people.
The Boy
Scouts of America faces new questions after banning a child
over his gender identity. eight year old Joe Maldonado, who was
born a girl and now identifies as a boy was removed from his
New Jersey club Cub Scout Troop. Joe's family says parents have
other children I've complained. Errol Barnett spoke with Joe and
his mother Harold. Good morning.
Good morning. Joe Maldonado's mother says the organization
already knew her son was transgender when she signed him
up for the Cub Scouts. But now the Boy Scouts of America which
is no stranger to controversy when it comes to membership
rights, is telling them he's not welcome. Joe Maldonado is just
like any
second. Are you telling me there's a Cub Scouts? We have
some pre pubescent kid. Yep. Who's decided he's a girl. Yes.
And so he's decided he's no, no, no, no, no, no, he's a girl
who's decided is like it's a tomboy. In the olden days.
That's what we call a person like this. Correct. So we have a
tomboy, pre pubescent really doesn't need to point where
they're even old enough to think clearly has made these decisions
that the parents are all in on.
This is the conversation we're going to get into in a moment.
Okay, I'm just gonna drop it. I just want to set the stage. The
stage
is set correctly, sir. Thank you Welcome.
Joe Maldonado is just like any other eight year old. I got your
pace, but Joe was born again. Oh, so as a parent, how do you
know that you don't just have a girl who's a tomboy? And that
writes
your question exactly. I drew you right into it. I love it. I
was a tomboy and that rise. Couple years I didn't realize
that he was.
That's enough answer for me didn't even realize that
he was born Jody, but it's been identifying as a boy for over a
year. Why did you want to join the Boy Scouts?
Because all my favorite friends were
there. Joe was a member of Cub Scout pack at seven in New
Jersey, but was recently removed over his legal gender, which is
female. What do you think of that reasoning?
I don't know. And then for poor kid for or a kid, what do you
think of that reasoning? I don't know child to be right there
man.
I knew full well. He was not born a boy they own now.
Joe, as when he was
Jovi's. In a statement, the Boy Scouts of America defended its
actions, saying in part, no youth may be removed from any of
our programs on the basis of his or her sexual orientation. But
added gender identity isn't related to sexual orientation.
In recent years, the Boy Scouts have reversed bans on gay scouts
and scout leaders. But this incident could spark a new
debate. The Boy Scouts of America says it's programs for
those who identified as boys on their birth certificates. The
organization tells us it offered the family alternative co ed
programs for Joe. But his mother told me she is not interested
and instead wants an apology for Joe. It's
now that listen to the now we're back in studio, listen to a
little banter amongst the hosts about this this story a child
and
at that age is always tough. I mean, for a kid he just wants to
belong. You really see public opinion. I know in your piece,
he said it's already coming that will seemingly carry the day
here.
Yeah. And the mother says she just wants to do what makes her
child happy. This isn't about anything other than that here
here. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
These guys which would you get this from?
I believe is NBC.
Yeah, MSNBC.
Yeah, no, it's the logos the that was the pack. That come
back to the local Yeah, I love the little Oh, yes. Here, here,
here, here. And they just here here, once here, here, here,
here. Now, this flows into the following three part clips
series. Why do you do that?
That we're gonna discuss this, but
that's where we're going to we want to discuss this. Now.
You're not going to follow my lead. Okay. I finally came
across on the face bags. A new interview from someone we've
played before. Her name is Camille Paglia
call. Yes, Camille Paglia mentioned. Yes. It's one of my
favorite writers. She's a lesbian out lesbian who is very
anti feminist. And she's such a good writer that she can destroy
anybody. I always was admiring. I just love this little side. I
always admired her writing as because she's an essayist, which
I am. And I always admired how she pieced her stuff together to
decide, I just wish I could write this. Well, I lost respect
for after I discovered that these essays, she writes, takes
her one two months to write. Yes, anyone can probably put
together a dynamite essay. If you spend that much time I like
to my window of like, when you should get somebody 45 minutes,
boom, you should be done. But so that's a little aside there.
Well, I'm glad guy like her. She's great. She has a new book
out apparently, which is the reason why she's out promoting
it. So she had this. She was asked kind of like one question
about transgenderism. And what that means and what how she
views that. Now. Luckily, Christina, as I said, full
fledged representing members of the LGBT community has dated
transgendered. I think both ways male to female, female to male
likes, men likes women, whatever, like the animals, it's
great. And I said, I want you to listen to this that she has.
She's making three points, and I've broken up into those three
points. And I'd like you to tell me what you feel about it. So
I'm going to play these three points. We can talk about it and
I'll bring in her opinion. Are you gonna do that with your
little recorder device? Or tremolo? What's it called?
I'm gonna let it go. What's it called? This is a recorder.
Yeah.
All right. So we'll start off with her discussing
transgenderism. And she likens it really to? Well, a couple of
things, including issues with culture.
I'm very concerned with This was I think that it's become a
fashion. Okay, is it that the that the transgender definition
has become a kind of convenient label for young people who may
simply feel alienated, okay, culturally for many other
reasons. Okay. So that's in the 1950s, they might have become a
beatnik in the 1960s, they might have become a hippie and taken
mind expanding drugs, okay. And so today, you're encouraged to
think that you're an alienation is because you're not totally
defined, identifying with your particular inherited gender,
your definition.
So she's pretty much saying it's fashion. It's fashionable. Now.
That's an interesting definition. And I'm glad I was
born when I was born. If that's the case, go on.
Christina completely agrees. She said, Yeah, we're very confused.
She says, this is just so easy to say I don't fit in. She says,
particularly under the age of 18. She says, No, kids really,
really, really, there's too much facilitation. And we'll get to
that in a moment. But definitely, she said, it's
totally fashion. It's something that people reach to very
quickly and it's being encouraged. Now, my favorite
part of her thesis, which Christina also had some
interesting things to say about
so I'm very concerned about this. I think that a lot of it I
think they think that the collaboration of the
bureaucratic machinery with it has to do with the assault on
masculinity, okay? Ah, okay. If you see trends, gender doesn't
really exist. It's not really polarity. I mean, it's it
everything's all about expanding women's rights, but also
terminating men, okay, and defining men out of existence.
Masculinity is by definition toxic, we maximize limb doesn't
exist. You see, this is this is the proof of it. But now I began
mine all my studies that my book sexual persona and began as a
dissertation at Yale graduate school on androgyny, I've always
been fascinated attracted to the subject of androgyny and that's
what sexual persona is I explored it in history, but the
more I explored it, I realized that that historically this this
the movement toward androgyny occurs in late phases of culture
a as a as a civilization is starting to unravel okay, and
that then you can find it again and again and again through
history in the in the in the Greek art okay, you can you can
see it happening all of a sudden, okay, there's there's a
kind of, you know, the, the sculptures of, of handsome new
young men athletes that used to be very robust, okay, and the
Archaic period suddenly began to be seemed like a wet noodles and
getting toward the end. And that and that the people who who live
in such periods of late phase of culture, whether it's the
Hellenistic era, whether it's the Roman Empire, whether it's,
it's the Move decade of Oscar Wilde in the 1890s, whether it's
Weimar Germany, people who live in such times, okay, feel that
they're very sophisticated. They're a cosmopolitan, okay,
yeah. Homosexuality, heterosexuality so what anything
goes and so on, all right. And so And but, but from the
perspective of historical distance, okay, you can see that
it's a culture that no longer believes in itself. Okay. And
then and then what you got what you invariably get are, you
know, are people who are convinced of the power of heroic
masculinity right? On the edges, whether they're the vandals and
the Huns, okay. Or whether or whether they're the barbarians
of ISIS, okay? You see them, you know, starting to mass on the
outsides of the culture. And that's what we have right now.
That there is a tremendous in rather terrifying disconnect
between the infatuation with the transgender movement and within
our own culture, and what's going on out there. Okay. And
so, I mean, that's why I'm concerned. I feel it's ominous.
Okay.
Now, a couple things. One, when I hear her talk, because no
wonder she takes two months to put something together. I know,
she's an Adderall or whatever, but Vyvanse or
just tripping that she wasn't that bad before. She's just
gotten worse. She's old.
So I think that she's made very, very good points here and we I
think that's that we discussed her previously in the context of
cultural collapse. One of the signs is this type of
everything's okay. Everyone can screw anybody homosexuality,
heterosexuality, transgender ality whatever it is. It's all
good. But the war on men totally fits in here. And Christina was
like, Oh, yeah. Oh, totally. The whole idea she said is we don't
want men anymore. And that's not her personally speaking. But she
says that is without a doubt the idea, especially and she's is
removing men from the equation, where men become women and women
become men, but they become men, but they rarely do they go for
any type of sex reassignment surgery is also very complicated
and difficult. And she says, ultimately, we're all just going
to be a boy. bunch of bikers with vaginas was literally her
quote. She says and she doesn't necessarily like it. But she
says, you know, she actually referenced some study. Um, there
are a number of animals that can procreate without a male and
there's a I read this study there's a there's a type of gnat
or flee I think it is flee and it can procreate with a male or
without the only thing is currently the offspring that is
procreated without a male have about 50% chance of living just
weaker. So you know, we're maybe we're lucky for a little while.
Once they figured out they don't need us anymore. They'll want us
just for the strongest of the children we reproduce but she
said without a doubt without a doubt that is happening removing
masculinity from everything and culture and she said it went so
fast Daddy says When did you really when did you really feel
open about talking about this stuff and other people said two
years ago it riches boom all of a sudden that just took off like
crazy. And she says and it's social media it's the regular
media and she says coming next toys to the toys are going to be
filled with transgender crap. Third, well
you can't you can't get a cowboy and Indian set up anymore you
can't buy cap guns so
all of that but all of it is a true war. Amen. And he says it's
going really really fast. And part of that and that's the
third and final part of this three part series is because of
the machine that is set up for this so take into account this
is culture is moving this way there's a war on men children
are confused oh don't do mind expanding drugs. You're just
confused you're not writing your body we can take care of you
I question whether the transgender choice is indeed
genuine and every every single case. But what again, what
concerns me is when well meaning adults you know, believe that
they're helping people by by making the easier or some
permanent change in the body for which there is no going back.
You know, for example, Brown University, one of the elite Ivy
League schools in the United States put sex reassignment
surgery on its on its a student insurance program Okay, so so
that so that it becomes you know, they can get a sex change
in college. I think I thought oh my lord, okay, I feel that's
evil. Okay, because what it does to young young people today
facing an uncertain job market okay, what it says people who
are questioning their gender while they're at Brown
University suddenly fail well, it's like economically you know,
a better judgment you know, from each and move now on this rather
than to wait till I don't have a job and living my parents
basement Okay, and so so actually the adult community
trying to be understanding Okay, is I think involved in possibly
making a permanent change in someone's life that could have
tragic consequences.
And there I think another good point is made this is something
Christina said quite clearly said, No one under 18 should be
able to do this, because she's, she's worked with many confused
kids. And she said, It's really dangerous is that she believes a
lot of kids are getting reassignment surgery and they
may regret it later on. And it's because of this big machine this
exactly what we heard with this kid. It's like you know that now
there was no necessary talk of gender reassignment but still it
you know, the machine is it this is all part of, you know,
there's no losers. There's no winners, hold your health and
tell the secret. Everyone's okay. You'll be fine. But the
machine is big. It's on Yeah, it's free. She said in the in
the Netherlands. If you're transgendered, and you're under
21, you can get free hormones, free reassignment surgery and
money to stay at home while you're getting your shit
together. timecode. So think of it. Oh, I'm confused. And I made
Shoe Man, I was confused about the world when I was 18. Now all
sudden, well, it's because this is what your problem is. And
here's how you fix it. It's free. And you can be cool.
I'm not completely subscribing to this.
I'm just telling you what I'm here as
Camille Scott, this thing you'll see in this society and all the
rest of we haven't been around that long. I'm attributing this
and I'll bring out the clips. This is the one of the promise
clips one of the promised clips. You always premise clips, you
never bring him the promised clips on Atrazine, which I think
has been poisoning the American public for about that length of
time there. There's been a number of interesting trends
that I've noticed because of the poisoning of the food supply.
One of them was the use of growth hormone in steer meat
that got into the meat and we had a whole slew of people in
there all about this A major, they're probably in their 30s
Now, and you said they're all came at the same time all these
tall women, bunch of women are all six foot and higher. And the
important the whole thing with women's basketball came along
and thanks to these women. But that was because the food supply
was poisoned with the growth hormone during the era and when
these were were young, and they were eating this meat, which has
been banned since the latest poisoning besides the lead
poisoning that seems to be going around and now it's being found
in Oakland is Atrazine which is a herbicide insecticide,
whatever one of the two that has been studied by a guy with the
University of California black guy who's a very good scientist
very well known and Clipsal indicated discuss it and he
found that this is the one that Alex Jones is talking about.
Frogs being turned in there are the frogs, male frogs turned
into female frogs because of this chemical
for 20 plus years they've had glow in the dark dogs you can
buy that are part jellyfish that one
No wonder the frogs are turning into girl frogs boy frogs in the
girl frog something like that. It's one of them. That's a good
one though. And so this stuff is still in the market because they
have decided to mix too much money. This guy discovered that
it also may have an effect on the human sexuality of America
of humans is banned in Europe. And and it has this effect of
turning men feminizing men mostly that's what
this is. This was also said of the plastic bottles.
Yeah, plastic bottles, I don't think has the impact of this
stuff. This Atrazine stuff is really powerful. Yeah. And
you're just breathing and it gets into foods. It gets in the
food supply, but really easily even though it's not supposed
to, but it does. It gets into food and water supply. And I
think a lot of people were aware of some of these toxins that are
in the water supply. That's what they use, you know, Britta and
zero water. I
got into cancer, hell yeah.
Is there a reason those things are so popular out of the blue?
They never used to be when I was a kid. And so I think there's
some I think we've, we've been poisoning the public. And I
think eventually this will come out this guy did all the studies
showed all the research, they shut him down. The guy was shut
down. He was and then he was they decided to smear him. The
clips reveal which clip is this, John? No, it's the Atrazine
clips actually sent him to you some time ago. I
know. But I'm looking for Atrazine. I can't find anything
under Atrazine, you'd have what crazy name? Could you have given
the clip?
It would have just the only thing I would have called it ATR
a
z i n e. Atrazine. I don't even have anything under Xen. And I
know, I know, we kept these clips. I know because you've,
you've talked about it, but it must be something else.
Well, either that or it's not coming up properly. For whatever
reason, I'll run these clips on Sunday, for sure. Because now
that just became a topic. I'm gonna write it down. And I will,
we'll discuss it some more. But I do have some thoughts on this.
I mean, I like the Camille Paglia concept that there were
end of times, but I'm not a big end of times believer, which is
why I don't like the basic thesis or that's just the end of
times, because it and your daughter, I think hit it right.
In fact, a Greek and Roman era where this were this
hermaphrodite ism was a big deal. This was not something
that happened over two years. She's noticing it really quick.
And that's typical poisoning of food poisoning. being poisoned
as you take lead. tainted water, it takes about you know, you're
doing that a couple of years, you're talking like that. Maybe
you're an idiot. So I'm not buying that part of it at all. I
think it's I think we're being poisoned by our big pharma, big
chemical. The EPA has done nothing as you can tell about
what happened in Flint, Michigan about the lead. Where's the EPA,
the EPA does nothing about fracking water. The EPA is Gao,
they do a bunch of stuff to keep people from starting companies
and they don't know they're against coal.
Well, well, based on what we expect the Trump administration
to do, we're all going to be transgendered pretty soon,
because the EPA will be gone.
Well, I don't think the EPA being there or being gone is I
think the local government should do more and as the EPA
was superseding them than which I think was the real problem,
because all local, all states have a Air Resources Board. And
they do what they do. And I think they're much better at it
than the EPA was lucky enough to work with both the EPA and the
Air Resources Board of California. And I can tell you
that in terms of intelligence, the local is the most
intelligent, their state is less intelligent, and the EPA is
stupid. Yeah, boom. Yeah, so but now back to this, there's a
couple of things that are I think genuinely genuinely of
interest to tom boy girl, I think is a case in point. We
used to have boys clubs, boys Clubs of America. And it got to
the point where there's too many little girls That's for kids.
Little girls didn't get to know they had their own Girls Club,
but they call it the Boys and Girls Club. Now they have to
join. Join operations. I don't see and there's no equivalent to
the Cub Scouts and the Girl Scouts. I don't think unless the
Girl Scouts just go yes, the brownies, the brownies or the
brownies. Right? Right. The brownies there are brownies. I
just think they should combine the brownies because we're in
this is not a sexual issue they have to worry about. I think
they should. I think it'd be much more fun to be a Cub Scout
with and we're and do work with a brown face, the brownies in
the cub scouts who can socialize other things.
And and the brownies could prepare the Cub Scouts for the
ultimate demise of masculinity.
I think they wouldn't even that would not be an issue. And I
think that's the way to solve this problem. And the girl can
be a brownie or be a Cub Scout. Who cares? I'm not that that
issue. I think the Boy Scouts at some point are going to have to
combine the brownies and the Cub Scouts even though over
overriding organizations, Girl Scouts and American Boy Scouts
of America I do not think interconnecting I don't know
I don't know either. But But I thought it was
I think we're being poisoned by our own. Our own people. Maybe
Russia is behind it. Information man.
New shit has come to light. Yeah,
well speaking of. This just came in. Finally we have the word us
punishes Russia for election hacking from the New York Times.
Here's what we're gonna do.
Oh, wait a minute. So you're telling me that they've got the
evidence now? Well,
it gets better than that. Washington, doo doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo. The Obama administration struck back at
rush on Thursday for its efforts to influence the 2016 election,
injecting 35 Russian intelligence operatives from the
United States and imposing sanctions on Russia's two
leading intelligence services, including for top officers in
the military intelligence unit the White House believes ordered
the attacks on the Democratic National Committee and other
public political organizations. In a sweeping set of
announcements sweeping the United States was also expected
to release evidence linking the cyber attacks to computer
systems used by Russian intelligence Taken together, the
actions would amount to the strongest American response ever
taken to a state sponsored cyber attack aimed at the United
States. I don't think we've ever done anything. But here we go.
The Obama administration also planned to release a detailed
quote, joint analytic report from the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security that is
clearly based in part on the intelligence gathered by the
National Security Agency. A more detailed report on the
intelligence ordered by President Obama will be
published in the next three weeks, though much of the
detail, especially evidence collected from implants in
Russian computer systems, tap conversations and spies is
expected to remain classified. That's right. So they're
not going to tell us anything No. And it was classified about
as
joint analytic report. It's a lie. Joint analytic report about
findings conclusion. Executive Summary. Yeah, okay. Well, that
kind of proves the point. Bullcrap bull crap bull crap. I
see I want to play I have two clips but I want to play your
riots in the mall. Cuz that yeah, catch my attention.
Riots in the mall. This is an interesting situation and and
they say there's no connections and and then this this is the
NBC report. I also have I didn't
I have a CNN version which I think will be interesting.
Okay, well, let's play the NBC that was played at CNN and then
I'll voice a voice what I because Dr. T report was a
little long winded. I don't think I have it but I they do
have a piece of information on when a DRO in.
announced that breaking news here in New York, a security
scare at Trump Tower late today forcing an evacuation. A
suspicious bag triggered to panic but a senior police
official says it later turned out to be filled with toys.
President elect Trump was not there at the time he remains at
his Mar Lago estate in Florida. And safety also a major concern
and malls across the country after a series of massive brawls
erupted the day after Christmas. Security has been stepped up at
more than a dozen malls after violence since shoppers running
for the exits. As NPCs Gabe Gutierrez explained some
authorities believe social media is partly to blame.
Again, and again they see Troops flowed out of nowhere, like
people were throwing punches fighting. It was just a huge mob
of people at miles across America ranging from minor
melees to mass evacuations. in Aurora, Illinois. Eight
teenagers had been charged. No
one really knows what caused it. It was just two girls started
first and then other people got involved to
chaos and more than 15 shopping centers in a dozen states. This
New Jersey mall pandemonium police and Wyatt shields
storming the food court. Witnesses say a person shouted
gun after someone slammed the chair during a fight. This video
from Connecticut shows an outnumbered officer trying to
control the crowd.
They just kind of started yelling and then started pushing
each other.
In Fort Worth Texas multiple fights with more than 100
teenagers. Ohio false reports of shots fired near Cleveland more
weapons found at another mall in Chattanooga Tennessee police a
two people set off fireworks sparking a panic. I heard the
pop pop pop all of a sudden just a tsunami of people running
jumping over tables and screaming I have shoe marks on
my jacket actually. From people stepping on me.
Shopper Jim Tanner says it was complete confusion in an age of
mass shootings
folks are just more attuned
to every little incident that happens. Authorities don't
believe the incidents are connected, though some blame
social media for turning minor disturbances. In the major
hysteria.
Social media is going to be the death of this country. They
cause more of a panic then is necessary.
Tonight the malls are back open with stepped up security. Here
in Chattanooga, police say the fireworks were set off this
cover up a smash and grab robbery now the search is on for
the feet. Meanwhile, this mall is packed as the post Christmas
rush is in full swing.
knives to CNN reports. The first one was similar to this although
very different in the discussion about social media. I think the
second one which is a lot shorter, still picks up the with
CNN was trying to communicate to us,
Sarah. So our law enforcement officials worried about more of
these kinds of incidents happening going forward.
They certainly are. And they hope that this is not a trend
that is being started. But they still can't pinpoint whether or
not there was one specific incident that created all of the
rest. In other words, is there something in social media that
they can find that they are certainly scouring through? We
should mention this last bit here? You know, with all the
things happening with soft targets terrorism or mass
shootings, really, people are reacting in a very big way to
some of these things when they see people running and
screaming, they automatically think it has something to do
with either terrorism or that there's a shooter in place. And
that's what cause some people to end up getting hurt in a
stampede.
The other one actually had a little bit more than I could it
be coordinated, what is going on? Could it be coordinated? It
might It's very strange. Could it be coordinated is a
coordinate we don't know if it's coordinated. It's a three minute
clips. I don't want to bore you with it. But that's basically
what they're saying is Could it be coordinated and I think
they're going to come out with something but I'd like to hear
your analysis first.
Well I don't have much of an analysis except what are our tea
had the they had a little bit of information that these guys
don't want to reveal? I'm guessing and I make sense to me
because I used to be in high school once and when you were in
high school and you were once a while rumor goes around the
entire school Fight Fight Fight Fight there's going to be a
fight between this guy and that gang you know these two guys
hate each other they're gonna have a fight so you gather
around and fight you'd watch the fight and you see these guys
that have you saw some dynamite fights and maybe you don't mind
seeing people getting old bloody. According to RT the
Aurora event began with a with a Facebook posting about a fight
at the mall that's going to take place at at a specific time. And
it apparently skyrocketed and virally went all over the Aurora
area. And the place was packed with kids wanting to watch the
fight. And it gets used Rival Schools the whole thing broke
into a melee right now why was that left out of these other
stories from the network's I don't know, maybe they don't
want to give people ideas of doing that. Oh, that's a good
idea. Let's just, you know, cuz they wouldn't
know what Facebook was. What they didn't show. And I did a
little bit of looking. They didn't really go after any
hashtags. Like hashtag mall. I liked the brawl at the mall.
That was kind of cool. I snuck in that report you had to have
this I'll tell you to have this all starting at the same time.
Sounds like one type of Facebook post to just replace the name of
the mall replace the name of the school. And I was and everyone
started doing that. Yeah, yeah, it makes sense to me. And it
makes total sense because you have sadly to say this
generation which just has nothing better to do and they
need excitement in their lives. You can't
just nothing they don't have clubs to go to they got nothing
these kids this is like a movie that was All, if anyone can find
this old 1970 movie called over the edge, I'd recommend you
track it down and watch it. It's about a suburban area where you
have a bunch of dip shit, cops timecode that are ruining it for
all the kids. And again, the town rebels is a very
interesting movie I think it pertains today, I wanted to back
up the idea that this things can get out of control by social
media. I have a clip, which is not about the riots, but it's
just it's pretty much the same thing. Just listen to the
information given to you in the social media. 1 million clip.
rd was only supposed to be for family and friends but 10s of
1000s descended on a small town in Mexico Monday for a teenage
girls traditional 15th birthday celebration. After the
invitation. Video was accidentally posted publicly by
her father. Well, it quickly went viral with more than a
million people RSVP and clearly many of them showed up.
Yeah, well, that's social media for you. Of course, in Holland,
that happens all the time with parties and then, you know, 1000
people show up and trash the guy's house. His parents are
gone. Yes, I know. That is the enemy. Does anybody you know,
you can't trust these kids anymore. Now. Yeah, I know that
the trashed house. There's something funny about it. But
yeah, that can happen. There's something
about the way CNN was positioning it though. Now, if I
were to say this was bad actors, and it's obviously very easy to
do, it's not hard. I mean, this is a good campaign. If I were
Soros, I'd be jealous. Like, oh, man, that's a great idea. I
could have done that. And you make make everyone afraid of the
kids make them afraid of the mall. Or you can destroy America
quicker than making people afraid of the mall. That will
bring us down. That will bring us to our knees in a week if we
stop shopping. So I'm thinking the obvious strategy is to
blame. Yes, Russia and the Russians, the Russians are
riling up our children
let's mix with John Podesta walks with kids. I mean pizzas
in his middle
I'd love the short version to you watch put it in the book.
Okay, well blame the Russians. Well, now, which brings us to a
segue since I think segments done about the mixer.
The mixer Yeah. Oh, yes. The meet up this mixer. This Hello
1920s John C. Dvorak calling for the mixer.
So there was a it was at a little place in Beverly Hills,
right on one of the main streets and crossed from Wu Shan and we
had a great group of people. I mean, it was just a lot of
interesting people all races.
And they were all racist. They're all racists, races. It's
race and
and we we had a we have a black customer.
Oh, well, how many people were their
estimated actual headcount was 42.
Oh, that's a nice job. There may have been 50. And you said there
was a black listener? Do you say there's my African American?
Here's
my one guy. No, there was I think there was maybe a couple
but the one guy was like this. He was everybody had screwy
jobs. Everybody with a couple of exceptions. A couple of
students, for example. They don't have screwy jobs, a couple
of UCLA kids. And this guy had a job of being a on the road all
the time notary. Oh, working for a title company or escrow
company. So he's listened to the show all the time because he's
driving around getting people to sign stuff. We had Adam, the the
defense attorney, famous defense attorney that handles a lot of
cases he really dropped off.
We have a defense attorney in our in our group. Apparently
Melinda is good. Oh, did you get his number? That will be my one
phone call.
i i That's what I asked him. I said give me your card just in
case. He says. He said no. Don't get arrested. Okay, that's easy.
So he's got a murder case coming up. Does all the drug busts? You
might be good at it. I don't know if he's can practice in
Texas in Texas when I'm arrested. Probably not.
He actually took a group of guys including the stewardess. We had
a stewardess that was an on Delta who says that she's always
on the lookout for you because she knows your flight Delta all
the time. Does she fly International? Yeah, I think she
seems to be like one of those. Well, girlfriend
we should coordinate bump me up. Yeah, business.
And he they've Adam took the group of couples. You see UCLA
kids and the stewardess and they went over to boo Shawn, because
he had this tip is a gourmet a big foodie. And he says On
Mondays for people in LA Los Angeles Basin you might want to
pay attention on Mondays, Thomas Keller apparently is put into
play at the bush on restaurant, which is the godfather of French
Laundry, who has this chain of restaurants? Apparently some
fancy chicken. A fancy just like one of these crazy breasts are
one of these, you know, hard to get blue legged chickens or
whatever. Yeah, it's the blue foot, the blue foot, the blue
foots in it or something. And he makes a fried chicken dish only
for Mondays for people in the know, I don't even know if it's
on the menu. And so he turned to a good tip. I thought so that
was a good time I would have gone. Let's see what else there
was there was it was just a really outstanding crowd. We had
a guy who has got contacts in Ukraine, and told me that we
were the only ones he knows of that's on the right track in our
analysis of the situation. Oh, that's nice to know. And in
fact, we didn't have too many people with anything. So now
you're off. We had about MPs. We had armies. We had people in the
military to go one of the cop local cop and one of the Ventura
County. It was just outrageously good group of people. I can
remember everybody but when we do the donation segments a few
and we'll get mentioned I think a lot of them donated
and and you had a whole I saw photos. I love photos that
people take with you because you always have the your camera
strong around your neck. Like a Japanese tourist. Yeah. Was a
very good look for you. Uh huh. And there was photos of a
special drink menu.
Yes, now the drink menu was put together by buzzkill Jr. and the
bartender who apparently is one of those guys, the bartender of
this place. I mean a mixologist. mixologist is a mixologist is a
place called Citizen, which was appropriate if you think about
it.
Yeah, of course a citizen.
And we they worked on three drinks. One was they blame
Russia, which had, which had no no vodka in it, but tequila. So
you could blame Russia? That's fine. But then there was the no
agenda drink which JC eventually said was too little bit too
strong. People getting plastered and then the in the morning, so
there were three drinks that were special for that occasion.
How nice and I was a good event. It was a people stayed longer
than I thought they would.
And you had a good time. Yeah,
I love we'd love to about nine.
How many How about Mimi? And did she hang out with people? She
talked to people?
Oh, no, Mimi was the expediter she would seem to be like
there's a car guy. She was like your handler? No, not for me.
Oh, she was like she'd see two people standing around looking.
No, I don't know Do we have any thing in common with these guys?
There are two Hispanics that were there
when she was like the greeter to like tele Sivan.
explained it wasn't that either. She would see these like couple
guys saying Why aren't you mixing? Hey, I don't know if we
got anything in common with these people. And he said no,
you all know agenda. People have the same mindset. Yeah. And they
just go talk to anybody. And it was true. And so everybody was
talking to everybody eventually. But I mean, we would grab people
that were on the periphery that looked like they were
uncomfortable. And kind of push them in Georgia to just
introduce them to this guy. Yeah, anything.
Oh, good. Well, good. And you had a good sound like you had a
good time.
I did have a good time. And I thought it was a very
entertaining event. I did have a note from Adam Kay, the lawyer
which is kind of interesting because I read it during the
donation segment Next up I want to read it now because there's
is this paragraph in here that I liked. And I'll read the rest of
this and then on Sunday, but this one he says I had the joy
and the joy of enjoying a lovely fried chicken dinner talking
about the restaurant Busan after the meet up with three fellow no
agenda listeners to UCLA seniors and a flight attendant with
Delta. It was It is the part I liked. It was wonderful to sit
at a table with like minded thinkers enjoying a hearty meal
and not having to defend a stance or have a political quote
unquote argument.
Beautiful. That's exactly what it is. We're good. The no agenda
community is open. Yeah, that's that's what I liked the most.
We're open.
And of course the result. Yeah, of course, exploring. Everybody
likes each other. I didn't know you have yet to do any of these
things with a fistfight breaking out.
Whoa, no, no, we haven't even come close. Really? You think
with 40 p 40. Plus people that said, no, no.
No. Well, we
may do the next meet up at the mall. Be fun
on the Facebook to say
exactly. I'm going to show my school but Jonah didn't know
agenda. Imagine all the people who get to was asked Oh yeah,
that'd be fun

I've been listening for less than a year I would less than a
half a year. So he's only been a newbie. But I'm strong
supportive of what you're doing even if my donation so far
amount to only this being the first one and close I was once a
professional okay, this I have to read. Now I realize well, I
wonder where this node went. I was once a professional
newspaperman for Gwinnett. And then a freelance journalist back
when, when a respect for balance and factual truth was still a
fundamental part of being a journalist. I am now a ghost
writer, blogger and a moderately successful painter Fine Arts,

afternoon just like derf you're in the ss code two coats. What
has become a reporting in the media over the past decade is
disturbing and disheartening. I voted for Obama in 2008 and
voted against him in 2012. Partly because of what I was
happening in and through the media, and parents. He says what
happened at the Justice Department and the IRS under
Obama was as disturbing as what was going on under Nixon. And
yet East Coast media simply ignored it. The way it circled
the wagons around Hillary during the height of the Benghazi
controversy killed my waning tolerance for what I had been
seeing in Washington and in the mainstream press. It's only
gotten worse. It's encouraging that your voices generate enough
support with the value for value model that the podcast appears
to be secure for now. We need both of you and more like you
attempting to speak impartially about the way in which what used
to be called the fourth estate has become a propaganda machine.
I'm overdue for a D douching. I'd also like to get a Putin

when you've received it. Oh, you know, I want to do today it was
a little bit of a my phone segment. We gotta get we got a
little bit of tech news here for everybody. And I wanted to start
off with a new development in the war on cash. And we were
talking about the
probably half my attention.
I know you do. I know I do. We were talking about the issue. My
personal issue, when there is no more cash, how can I give cash
to the homeless people?
Right, and you routinely give them five bucks because I've
adopted by the way?
Yeah, and I don't discriminate. Do you ask me for money? Here
you go. Cuz you can be me, how can I? How can I qualify if
someone needs it or not? However, this will be a problem.
You know, I think my initial answer was, you know, Hey, man,
give me your square. So I can swipe you five bucks. But in the
Netherlands, where cash is really on the out, there are
stores there where you can only pay with your pin, and no longer
with cash. Well, in Amsterdam, the government is trying
something new for the homeless. It is called the pin jacket. And
it is a coat that you put on and it has a big badge on it. This
is great. And yeah, a big badge. And because a lot of these cards
in the Netherlands have RFID you can just tap it. So it'll
probably work with Apple Pay. And you just tap the tap the
person's a jacket with your card and you've given them money.
Okay, so let's begin with the logic of this. And the
feasibility was to feasibility. First of all, they have to be
wearing the jacket. Yeah. No, can't they just give them like
a, like a wallet or something? I guess I could get stolen or just
maybe a button
because they're wearing the jacket and it's integrated.
Wearing this, like I have to steal the jacket in order to
take it
which is harder to do. Yeah. So where did they get the jacket?
The government the government is giving the homeless these very
nice jackets big down jacket. So you're nice and warm. It's nice.
And each time you hit your pin card against the RFID tap it
it's one euro as laden there's even a little display and
so it's got a little number so so we're talking about homeless
people. Yes. wearing some sort of a device. It's got a number
that crops up into credits. Yeah, do show you that you add
to your number.
It's kind of it's it's very It's like one of those parking
machines. You know, like the movie Brazil?
It's like a lot of things. That none of it really good actually.
Yeah. And somebody that no one's no one's outraged by this, by
the way. Oh, great idea. Great.
What about the homeless? Are they outraged by it? I'm
sure they like the jacket. Again, the free jacket? Sure.
Has anyone passed a rumor around saying that this is all GPS is
for population control? No, I haven't heard any of that yet.
Crowd Control. You got a GPS
and on your, on your on your statement that when you donated
your euro on your statement, it'll say thanks from Carla.
Whoever was wearing the jacket. Thanks for giving me a euro.
It's unbelievably Yeah, I have really,
don't you think cash would be better just to give him some
money? You know, here's his bucks.
Yes. But it's not about controlling the homeless with a
GPS Jack is about completely controlling the non homeless by
having you use digital money, get really used to it. And then
when you're not playing by the rules will just turn off your
money.
You know, this never comes up in the conversation when people
talk about this. And I don't understand why it never comes up
in the conversation. I mean, you can listen to all these tech
nerd shows. They never bring this up.
Well, no, because we're not on them anymore.
What if What if somebody takes the government takes a dislike
to you and decides to just cancel all your money?
I have had something similar happened but yes, what happened
to you? All my bank accounts were frozen in the Netherlands.
They had a dislike Give me they felt that I was had a big mouth.
And they said, Well, you know, just to make sure we're going to
investigate you. But to make sure you don't do anything,
we're going to lock up all your money, I could not get more than
100 euros out of the machine. And they kept it locked up for
months, months, six months? Yeah.
Well, what's to prevent them from just stealing your money?
Nothing. I've had that happen in the United States where also my
money was transferred out of my account, this happened in the
90s. And there was a mix up. It was one of those deals.
That's the third item, the mix up the mix up, which can easily
happen, it happens to everybody, especially when they're dealing
with American banks.
Yeah, so what happened in my case, is I, this was in the 90s.
And mortgages were already being sold, and I sent him my mortgage
check. And, you know, wherever whatever happened that never
arrived, or was cashed by the wrong company. It was very
strange. And I didn't know anything about that, like, wow,
this, this check went around the world. But I guess they had
density, you know, they put all kinds of liens and stuff on me.
And before I knew it, there was tax implication. Then the I
went, I tried to get money on the way to MTV in the morning,
and I couldn't get the data go in the bank. And they say, oh,
it's been transferred to this strange account number with a
lot of zeros in it. And it was the government had just
transferred to right out. 9090 91 Maybe?
Well, I can see why you're against this idea. Yeah. I've
had it happen.
I know exactly what's going to happen. And I have to say I am.
I love Apple Pay. There's no doubt that the ease of it that
but I always have cash in my pocket always mainly for the
homeless people.
Well, I don't like any of it. Apple Pay included?
No, of course not. Of course not. All right.
All right. Well, I have I have a tech news piece. I just thought
this was interesting. I don't know why they did this piece.
what the deal was was on NBC was very elaborate. And this was a
whole segment, I could record it, most of it about resetting
your phone. Apparently people are selling us phones and stuff.
And it's being used as a very easy way to get to do an
identity theft thing. So NBC actually did a really I thought
this was a public service. I don't know who it may have been
a native ad. I don't know who would be four but it seemed like
a public service. I mean, this is the long clip I guess a
couple minutes is resetting your phone and laptop. Good
information I thought
back now with a warning for everyone who got a new
smartphone or laptop this holiday. As you switch on those
new devices. Beware of all the ultra personal information on
old devices you're getting rid of. Even if you think you've
deleted it all complete, strangers could still use it to
access a treasure trove of sensitive data. And VCs national
investigative correspondent Jeff Rossen and his team share what
you need to know to protect your information. And tonight, Rawson
reports
we store everything on our phones and laptops, emails, day
shopping and banking information. When I delete stuff
off this thing, I assume it's gone.
All of that information is still there, easily accessible by
anyone, even themes
we want to see for ourselves. So we buy dozens of used cell
phones online, laptops to we bring them to be analyzed.
This would be a identity thieves goldmine. This
laptop we bought for $75 giving us full access to the family. We
bought it from
home address, phone numbers, personal family pictures, scary.
We found tax information right
down to their bank routing numbers, even account numbers.
So who does it belong to? Bourbon mom name Tracy. I track
her down. I want to show you all the things that we pulled off of
your computer,
all of my financial information, my place of employment, social
security numbers of your entire family security numbers of
everyone. People can do some damage with that information.
Yeah, I
think that's bad. On this next device, a cell phone belonging
to Aria, a college freshman. We find 3000 Private text messages,
secret passwords to her students scholarship, additional media
accounts and shopping hacks, even when and where she goes to
class. We set up a meeting to tell her what we found.
Scary, you can lose everything just from a phone because I have
all my information on there.
So how do you really wipe your devices clean? Let's show you
starting with the iPhone. I have one called up right here. First
thing is you hit settings right there. You come here to general
once you hit that you scroll all the way down to the bottom. You
see it says reset right there. You hit that and Then you want
to look for this, erase all content and settings, you hit
that. And you get that magic phrase right there, erase
iPhone. On Android devices. Some models want you to go into
settings and encrypt the data. Then you want a factory reset
here to hit settings right there. You hit backup and reset,
scroll down to Factory Data Reset, reset device, and your
information is gone. As for laptops, experts say there is no
factory reset. So take the hard drive out before selling. Jeff
Rossen, NBC News Salt Lake City.
I thought that was a reasonable little segment.
Yes, and it flows nicely into my segment. And by
the way, just before we finish that, if you take those hard
disks out, you can reuse them and put them in some sort of
array or if you don't want to out there take a big drill.
That's the way to do it. The drill through the driver drill
into the thing and you're in good shape.
Yes. But of course, the the overall point of this is that we
leave our digital breadcrumbs everywhere. And this story
cropped up. And of course, the focus of the story is the wrong
focus.
Amazon's popular home assistant echo better known as Alexa was a
best seller this Christmas. Now police in Bentonville, Arkansas
hope Alexa can help solve a real life who done but Amazon is
saying no to a warrant seeking electronic data in the form of
audio recordings, transcribed records, tax records from an ACO
inside a home where a murder may have been committed
when you buy one of these things, even if it's not on its
own. And it's listening.
Prosecutors say 32 year old James Bates murdered his co
worker Victor Collins, who was found strangled in Bates his hot
tub.
How many times do I have to tell you I don't know no hot tubs
heard his
coworker Victor Collins, who was found strangled in Bates's hot
tub. Bates who called 911 pled not guilty. He's scheduled to go
to trial next year. Is attorney says Bates has nothing to hide.
But this is an issue of privacy,
you should be able to do what you want in your home. And that
is free from the view of public the view of police
tonight Amazon tells NBC News it will not release customer
information without a valid and binding legal demand properly
served on us Amazon objects to overbroad and otherwise
inappropriate demands. As a matter of course, the prosecutor
says this is about justice,
we have established probable cause and obtained a warrant
from a judge to search this device the same way we would
search a person's cell phone we would search a person's home
tonight a murderer in Arkansas, igniting the debate over privacy
inside the home. And if what's heard there can be used against
you know a
couple of things about this story. Because this is what
you'll hear on all the tech horny shows.
Again, I want to also have a couple of things to say about
that story being poorly developed. But
first of all, I have tested and this thing does not send as far
as I can tell from my test doesn't send anything until
you've used the wake word, you use the command bid the
microphone or the recognition stops, it sends it off for
parsing and it comes back with whatever it's supposed to come
back with. There's nothing else going out. As far as I know,
there's nothing else being recorded on the device itself as
far as I know. But the real story is not in this report. But
in the written report. As police say this guy Bates had several
other smart home devices, including a smart meter for his
water. That piece of tech shows that 140 gallons of water were
used between 1am and 3am. The night Collins was found dead in
the baits as hot tub. Investigators allege the water
was used to wash away evidence of what happened off of the
patio. So the oh the real story here. And we've always had
problems with the smart meters. But all of this Internet of
Things technology is of course leaving you with all kinds of
trails and things. And in this case, the water meter is very we
have a problem with that and Austin already people are
getting fined without investigators going around
seeing if you're watering your lawn at the wrong time. Now they
just look at your meter helpful. Whoa, boy, you've used too much
water here this wrong time. You're getting a fine and they
just gotta find in the mail, which of course with the
cashless society will be automatically deducted from your
bank account.
Right, exactly. And you wrapped it up
in one breath to
wrap it all around into one cute little bundle.
Nice. That's standing and Just one thing about Twitter, I
rarely do the bundle. Yeah, I try. But Twitter and the you
know, it being a media company and does verify thing. Yes, your
question this. So bhana, the seven year old who was verified
on Twitter, the seven year old from Cabo. Okay, so now her mom
continuously says, I'm writing this MA, it's not her mom,
because the English is just above that. And I have multiple
Syrians, and boots on the ground verifying and it's not
surprising. But for Twitter, I have a question. If the seven
year old is verified on Twitter, but her mom is posting your
verified status means shit. It's not the kid posting. It's her
mom. Verified is false. Back false.
Back check false.
Seriously. Think about that for a moment.
I don't have to think about it. Okay, I don't think about it at
all. I don't care to think about it. I'm not thinking about it.
Please don't show you no stinking badges.
Don't think about it. I got one more story.
A Tech Tech Store. Hey, just
to show you how lost the music businesses. Universal Music
Group recruited was this guy's name? Ty Roberts is their new
SVP and Chief Technology Officer. And so he is tasked
with coming up with great ideas to save the music business. And
he sang on on I don't know what's going to change. Today. A
product is more like an API. As a fan, you should be able to
talk to the computer server at Universal, which serves you back
the latest thing, a package of music information. And here are
some people talking about the lyrics and more. And he didn't
just stop there. It didn't just stop there. Do you want to go in
a virtual date with someone you've met across the Internet
inside a Peter Gabriel Peter Gabriel album and walk around
Peter Gabriel's world together? That kind of experience is going
to be possible. What? What what a tool is unbelievable. These
guys are so lost. Yeah. Yeah.
Who wants to do that in the first place?
Oh, buddy wants to walk inside Peter Gabriel's album. Even
worse, no, no, not looking to do that. And then finally, it's fun
to watch on the sidelines how Apple is trying his freaking
out. I was looking at getting the new MacBook Pro, which I've
been told to hold off on. I was told before Consumer Reports
came out they're saying ah, battery is no good. vary between
19 hours.
For one. One was a guarantee the batteries are just terrible.
They crap out. So they decided to take the amount of time left
on the battery to settle the new fix. And the thing is not to
tell anybody how long the battery has left.
Yeah, there's but apparently there's also some some issues
with the processor going wild and just running out of control.
Could happen. Yeah. But the inside word I have is it's all
software. It's not hardware. So I will say they got a lot of I
guess my my final gripe and this happened with the upgrade. This
is the way how many years went by before they came with this
new one. Oh, wait. Oh, yeah. Way too long, you think they would
have tested it thoroughly?
This is the number one complaint of course, because everyone's
like, what are you guys doing? And we all know they're doing
whatever they can do because Steve's dead. And it's tough.
It's hard without you know, without the Iron Fist of the
asshole Steve Jobs because that's how he operated. And
people complained about him, but he got stuff done. So here,
here's, well, here's something that's gone very wrong. Okay, on
the iPhone, iOS 10. I think it started with one upgrade before
this one. They have this feature called Auto capitalization.
That's under the keyboard settings. So when you start a
sentence, the first letter is capitalized. Right? That is
great. Right? Right. And when you do a period, and you start a
new sentence, or you just just period space capitalized.
However, many apps have decided to do this for you, such as
WhatsApp and I have spark email. They want to do this for you.
And what happens is, then it's okay to counteract somehow. And
when the app is trying to make a capitalize. The iPhone goes, Oh,
no, you don't and then it puts it lowercase. So this is
constant battle between apps which you know, so now you have
to continuously watch your typing. Like do I have
capitalization, right? It's a huge bug, huge bug.
Hello, my advice is to turn off auto cap I did
and then you get, then you get. Again, if you get used to
hitting the caps, you know the uppercase key, then you'll find
that you're making lowercase and the apps that want to make it
uppercase. It's it's it's a whole UI issue that is, I've
really beneath Apple to run into this problem, I think, is very
stupid. But that's just my gripe.
That's the least of your complaints
that my life is pretty good. And that's it protecting
phones. And the phone should be made out of Bakelite. Right?
No, I do have a cute little thing to play for us today.
Okay, play cute little thing little air traffic control bit.
Always nice Listen, air traffic control, who were very aware
that this would eventually be put on the interwebs you're
going to listen to air traffic control, sequencing aircraft,
making aircraft weight briefly, so that nov 757, alpha Foxtrot
can take off that is also known as Trump Force One.
So what you know what material here we get the clearance
probably next five minutes. Oh, man, you ain't kidding. This is
my lucky day. I don't think I ever
get to see the Trump plane take off. Well, you know. We heard
that over 35 Got
that departures What the 6.5 What 26.5
By the way, when a pilot does that everyone thinks what a dick
like a cowboy. So yeah, everyone everyone is
what 26.757 Alpha Foxtrot wins 2500 At one zero to three clear
for takeoff.
Takeoff. And that's exactly how you want your pilots Trump's
pilot
and the 465 I do have the clearance for you but has a
slight amendment to routing so let me know when you're ready to
copy
you know what? The standby one we're gonna we're trying to take
a picture of this Trump plant
just emailed to you it's probably better view up here.
Whenever we get our email address out there, all we're
gonna do is it's hard to get right chop chop jokes into our
inbox.
The truth I'm sure somebody out there is probably recording this
too. It's gonna hit the internet.
Oh man. You know what?
Number 757 Alpha Foxtrot contact departures one to 6.55 Have a
nice flight and thanks for making ATP Great Again
no problem you guys take care I'm sure we'll be hearing this
on the air it
was funny. I just thought little pilot humor there. Every fun.
Global warming report.
Oh then we need to open up the gates to the gate to the to the
climate.
And of course by global warming report I mean global cooling
report right row.
Is this a clip? This is a clip I'm supposed to
play as global cooling report wasn't capitalized.
The long holiday weekend. The weather is a top concern
tonight. Already the post Christmas rush is off to a slow
start after white out conditions and fierce winds in parts of the
plains and upper midwest and freezing rain that could
complicate travels in the Northeast. Tonight for the first
time. We're also hearing one mother's incredible survival
story hiking 26 miles in the snow after her family's car got
trapped near the Grand Canyon. Dave Gutierrez is tracking the
worst of the weather tonight.
Tonight the Upper Midwest is digging out after a relentless
Christmas blizzard. How the heck am I getting out of here? Many
roads in the Dakotas impassable? 240 miles of i 94 Shut Down shut
down blanketed Bismarck while treacherous wind snarl their
traffic
we pulled up to check our bag at the curbside and they told us
the flight was canceled
more than 300 us flights canceled at least 2800 Delayed
it's a little frustrating but what do you do? They can't
control it in Arizona and out of control situation near the Grand
Canyon is now an incredible survival story if I don't find
shelter, I'm not going to make it
another night.
Oh boy. Yeah, yeah, well, we've been saying global cooling and
whenever the government says the exact right you just go left and
then you're good to go. Well, okay. I have some good things
here. i We cannot let this program go without speaking
briefly. At least about the frokost of the United Nations
New World Order problems.
Yes, I have Eclipse. Oh, good.
I what I want to do I have a background which comes from an
unexpected source. I want to say Michael Bolton, I'm Michael
Bolton. Michael, both the other guy, the former ambassador to
us, Bolton, Bolton. And he explains in a relatively short
amount of time, what the real problem is, with this
resolution, the resolution, which I read, doesn't really say
much, but it actually nullifies an older resolution. And that's
what's at play here. And this is, I think, a good background.
But I think
the real trouble with resolution 2334 Is that it implicitly
repeals the well known resolution 242, adopted by the
Security Council, after the 1967 war between Israel and the Arab
states nearby, that created the the doctrine known as land for
peace that Israel after 67. And after the 73 War would give back
land that had taken in battle, in exchange for peace. So for
example, the Camp David peace agreement of 1979 with Egypt,
Israel basically gave back that part of the Sinai Peninsula it
had taken in the 73 War and got the Camp David peace agreement.
What what people are now arguing is that that is invalid, that
the remaining territories that Israel once occupied after these
wars, really are not in its power to give back so that
Israel has to give into borders that too for to flatly said,
we're not defensible and not secure. And there's a lot of
back and forth about the language of the resolutions. But
the fact is, this is an extraordinarily radical step by
an outgoing American president intended to box in his
successor.
I think that's pretty accurate.
Yeah, it's exactly what it is. So here's my report. This came
from NBC This is the kind of a rundown background or this is
Obama, or Israel, Obama kerfluffle.
kerfluffle does anyone use the word kerfluffle in the actual
real
kerfluffle? I do.
A war of words is picking up steam among President Obama,
Donald Trump and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu over that UN resolution condemning Israeli
settlements, and the US is willingness to let it pass.
That's not the only clash tonight between the President
and President Elect. And B C's Hallie Jackson has the latest.
Tonight new fallout after a flashpoint in US Israeli
relations, a United Nations Security Council resolution
reprimanding Israel for West Bank settlements, seen as a slap
to Israel when the US chose not to block with its veto. Israel
furious now accusing the US of orchestrating the resolution
itself.
We have proof I don't believe it. We know it and we'll share
it with the incoming administration through the
appropriate channels.
The Israeli ambassador echoing the allegations of Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
as I told John Kerry on Thursday, friends don't take
friends to the Security Council.
But it's Egypt who pushed the resolution senior White House
aide Ben Rhodes insisting Friday we did not draft or introduce
this resolution. Do you not believe Do you not trust the US
government when they deny having anything to do with this? Well,
Ben Rhodes is an expert in fiction. Donald Trump, far from
staying out of the fight, tweeting this weekend, quote,
the big loss for Israel and the United Nations will make it much
harder to negotiate peace and late today slamming the UN as
just for people to get together talk and have a good time. So
sad, escalating tension, underscoring that and Yahoo's
chilly relationship with President Obama and his warm one
with President elect Trump previewing potential changes in
this diplomatic Alliance and to break in some ways with decades
of US policy well
now Oh, okay. Just as an aside and I want to I'm probably going
to do a little side bits on this everyone's well I think Holly
Jackson, who did that report is got the absolute perfect female
voice for broadcasting our for just chatting
I agree. Yes, I agree with that nice voice she
she's crystal clear. She sounds like a woman she doesn't talk
like with the up speak or down speak or any there's no more I
know fry no frost don't fry is adapt you I was listening to
these different women on NBC. I think Holly Jackson has a
perfect voice for for a reporter great. I will follow that
closely.
Alright, I have some other things to discuss regarding
this. We have noticed John Kerry's tell many times. He has
the tongue. Ah the tongue and it's it's usually it's a cough
where he's got a little cough and the tongue has got outta
control recently. Yeah, I was watching the time damn near came
completely out of his mouth.
He was he was licking the microphone. The thing was out so
far. But But when he when he went into this, I just wanted to
because it's horrible to listen To him, but I do have his
transition from his speech to the tel
Israel's Permanent Representative to the United
Nations who does not support a two state solution sat after the
vote last week, quote, It was to be expected that Israel's
greatest ally would act in accordance with the values that
we share time for the tail veto this resolution.
Okay, here we go.
I am compelled to respond today that the United States did in
fact vote in accordance with our values. I mean,
this guy, even so I'm compelled. No, I'm forced to say and he
does, and it's throat is all choked up. The towel is enormous
and his tongues flapping but in the limit
limited. Unbelievable. Yeah, I got it. I think this is all
about this is something going on behind the scenes This is Obama
poisoning. There's a lot of evidence he's poisoning the
well. The next guy he's
absolutely absolutely I have Krauthammer lousy precedent to
do that. Now, this is another thing I gotta say that it's a
lousy. But here's Krauthammer from Fox. I play Krauthammer
because the ladies love the crowd. Have you noticed this?
The ladies love the crowd hammer hammer hammer. I
don't know why Tina loves him.
Yeah, I think it's because you know, he's in a wheelchair. He's
all messed up. So it's the only man that you can always I love
him for his mind. You if it's a hot looking guy, then it sounds
suspicious. But he's got a great mind
for most Americans are not aware of the fact that we pay about a
quarter of the freight to the UN. So we're paying 22%
Something we're paying an organization that spends half
its time, more than half its time and energy and resources
and bureaucracy trying to attack the only Jewish state on the
planet, a tiny little speck, while genocide, mayhem, murder,
terrorism is going on all over the world. It's an obsession
that to an outside observer appears to be insane. Why are we
doing this and the rest of the time is spent undermining the
United States and democracy and our allies around the world. It
is an organization that exacerbates tensions, it does
not assuage them. It was born in hope, the end of the Second
World War, it turned out to be a disaster, any move to minimize
our support for it, any move to get it out of the US. Imagine if
headquarters were in Zimbabwe, the amount of weight and
coverage it would get, it'd be zero. I think that's good real
estate in downtown New York City. And Trump ought to find a
way to put his name on it and turn it into condos.
Good old Krauthammer, Krauthammer.
Now, I will say this about that clip. That is actually becoming
a talking point on all the right wing radio show
to mow down the UN building.
No, leave the building there but turn it into condos. It's got
it's got great views, but really,
I didn't realize that was a thing. That's yeah, that's
funny. And then the funniest response to all this came of
course from that overnight legend, Don Lemon on CNN, who of
course, you know, it's Christmas time so the weekend you're gonna
get the Jew on the Jew was available. Alan Dershowitz. It
doesn't matter in terms of international law. I'm the
lawyer.
Let me tell you that international
I'm a lawyer here. Shut up. The lawyer, Don lemons. I'm a
lawyer.
Very, very understand that's a legal argument. But according to
the United Nations and according to the Geneva Convention,
according to the nation saying does not according to the United
Nations, Jews kill babies and take their organs the United
States God for
25 years, they've been growing babies and cows.
I love when did the UN say that?
I don't know. I don't I don't know this. They may have
fantastic love that I love it. Now the President now this was
this was very very bad for him. But I once I heard the clip felt
a little different to me. Big Blow off the petulant child
Obama he said if I ran for a third term I would have beaten
Trump that was the headline
and I have a clip up I have a good buddy this from RT which
kind of takes it funny slant with it.
Let me play the the actual quote. And this was from a
podcast, interestingly enough from the Yes. What podcast was
this? The axle rod podcast?
Oh, gosh, he's got a podcast. Yeah.
Why it's a podcast. I think it airs at all on CBS. So the the
accurate the accusation was really that the President what a
child he said, Well, if I had run against Trump, I would have
beat him. That was the accusation, what he really said
was a lot more nuanced. I'm
confident that if I if I had run again, and articulated it, I
think I could have mobilized a majority of the American people
to rally behind it in conversations that I've had with
people around the country, even some people who disagreed with
me. They would say, the vision, the direction that you point
towards is the right one. Okay.
So it didn't, really wasn't he kind of did, but it's not as bad
as it was made out to be. I'm just saying that that's not it
was a little more neurotic.
But then. Yeah, I think he kind of said it. Let's hear your art.
Do you need to say Archie
doesn't really say that he's really said either. I just think
that they extrapolated better. Do what you did way. Axelrod I
mean, and it all these pauses? Yeah. I think they tighten it up
so soon.
That's coming. US President Barack Obama has claimed that if
he'd been legally able to run for a third term, that he would
have been backed by the majority of voters and beaten Donald
Trump.
But if I, if I had run again, and articulated, and I think I
could have mobilized a majority of the American people to rally
behind it.
His successor, Donald Trump took to Twitter to reject the idea
that he would have lost saying that his success came from
Democrat failures during Obama's time in office. Well, Francis
Santiago takes a look back at the outgoing President's record
sheet. So Obama is confident he could have won this election.
That's quite a statement from someone whose party lost its
mojo. No, seriously. 2016 has become the worst year for the
Democrats in almost a century. From when Obama took office in
2008. Through 2016 elections, Democrats have lost 63 seats in
the House, 11 seats in the Senate, 13 governorships and
nearly 1000 seats in state legislatures. This is the lowest
they've got since the 1920s. And even the Democrats themselves
admit they lack strategy or a plan. How many seats do we have
to lose before we make a change?
We're not even a national party at this point.
I think Obama may have lost even worse than Hillary in the
election here. American people were kind of fed up with Obama
policies. Hillary was associated with those policies, but they
were Obama's policies. And I think the voters would have
turned against him as well. Thanks, Obama.
Less than 10 minutes to go.
10 minute warning.
So I thought Artie given the needle a little.
He deserves the needle for sure. I just thought it was a little
more nuanced. Do you remember when, when President Obama, I
think it was before he was President 2008 When he talked
about visiting all 57 States of America? Right? Yeah, let me
remind you with that clip,
because it is just wonderful to be back in Oregon. And over the
last 15 months, we've traveled to every corner of the United
States. I've now been in 57 states, I think one left to go.
One left to go Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go
to even though I really wanted to visit but my staff would not
justify it. Actually, I'd
never really realized that he said his staff wouldn't justify
him going to Alaska and Hawaii, but then he was 57 states where
there was a joke or not. And I didn't sound like it to me.
No, we decided it wasn't a joke, or just miss misspeak.
While I'm wondering about that, there was a big meeting in
Minnesota, Minnesota. And Keith Ellison, who's a blue thing,
Congressman from Democrat from Minnesota, he had a whole idea
about a strategy for the Democratic Party.
You know, what does it matter if a man can sit at the lunch
counter, but he can't afford a hamburger? We have got to be all
about that. In the work started on November 9. Let me share with
you my plan. I believe we need not just a 57 state strategy,
but a 3140 3000 County strategy
now. Is there something missing? Is there something that we
met right away you get Clip of the Day for that?
Thank you. Okay. What isn't that nuts?
Why is it the same? 57? Is there some code going on here? That's
what
I'm trying to figure out. It has to be code at the time there was
talk about it being the 57 Islamic States.
Well, Allison is is is Muslim. And so as Obama, as far as I'm
concerned, if she know really evidence that he's not going to
take the prayer rugs out of the White House, when Trump comes in
apparently underreported story. I didn't hear about that. Oh,
yeah. And dar elegant is the Muslim and he is going to take
over the Democratic Party's the DA. He's headed to be the next
head of the DNC. Well, the fifth and the seventh may relate to
something that we don't know anything about.
Again, if you look at Snopes, because as you know, they are
fact check false. They say that Obama's 57 state statement is
mixed. Last, yes, he said 57 states, but no, the President
was not referring to the 57 states of Islam. Let me see what
this is all we need to where are we here we were. Me see 57
states of Islam see if I can find something.
Yes, the sevens here. Now. Yeah, here. Now we're treading new
water. That's right. Organization of Islamic
Cooperation. Oh, I see. Is an international organization
founded in 1969, consisting of 57 member states. The
organization that it is the collective voice of the Muslim
world. So there's your 57 states, which I'm sure it's just
a conspiracy theory. But I mean, my God, I remember as a kid, I
think I told the story once. I my parents sat us down one, one
Sunday evening and said, Guess where you guys are going
tomorrow? And we've been at the International School of
Amsterdam, said where are we going? Going to Dutch school
what barely spoken in Dutch. So I entered Dutch school in fifth
grade. And the teacher for everyone kind of spoke some
English, but Americans were not liked at the time, there was a
quite a big invasion, mainly with the Vietnam War still going
on. Or the fact that they ended when I was in school, in the
fifth or sixth grade. And at a certain point, the teacher is
talking about the United States and its 52 states and I raised
my hand and said I'm sorry, we have 50 states. No, you're
forgetting to count Alaska and Hawaii. But it was 48. And then
this the lower foot? No, of course it does shut up. So I
went home and I got we had Encyclopedia Britannica brought
that in the next day. Look, here it is 48 Yes, but that's
Encyclopedia Britannica from 1969, or whatever it was. It's
not the most current version. So then I called the consulate and
my mom had one of those. You know the dictaphone cassette.
Not dictaphone, but just the small point.
Oh, remember you ever telling this story? Oh, okay. Well, it's
almost over. And no, I liked this story. Because you run into
this sort of thing all around.
Oh, it was it was insane. And again, I'm the loser kid with
Tourette's and a bad haircut who speaks almost no Dutch. And here
I am. I'm like a Baba. Because I was I was really sure it was 50
states. Because it was my mom had this portable cassette
recorder, which she used to play cassette. My grandmother at the
time was the Watergate tapes. She would send them over and she
actually called them the Watergate tapes. Ha. And my mom
could listen to the hearings, which was televised, but not in
Europe. So I use that a call the consulate or the embassy and
they go and get someone they Well, no, we're pretty sure it's
50 states we would know. I play that in school. I get the
tension. And yeah, never an admission, but never an
admission. I know.
You should track that person down and give them hell now.
Yeah. What
do you think me now? Dude? I've got it. I my plan. Oops, sorry.
What do you think I Yes. may serve what was his name? He was
actually a nice guy wasn't a horrible guy. But he was a
douchebag. He would not take he would just not accept it. So
anyway, so I mean, that kind of mistake when I was, you know,
well, how old was I was 1011 12. Guy recognized how many states
we had? How can you have this happening? If it's not something
for you? It's got to be some kind of I agree. It's gonna code
my
plan. Yeah. I believe we need not just a 57 state strategy,
but a 3140 3000. County strategy.
How many counties are there?
Not a no. It's not that everyone is talking about the counties.
But I received maybe it's on this sheet I have here with what
was his number again?
What was his number strategy, but a 3140 3000? Yeah,
3143 counties. That's according to the book of knowledge. So but
that's 50 states, not 57. So where what is wrong with these
people?
I think it's some sort of codec must be or they get 57 Muslim
states on the mind. For some reason, I don't know why Obama
would unless he's Muslim, which is what you know, everyone seems
to think. Yeah. Okay, no. I have I have another there's another
two sources. Yeah,
you can do annoying I If I do this shorty, okay, just a short
here that we remember that even when hatred burns
hottest, even when the tug
of tribalism is at its most primal, we must resist the
resist.
We must be urge to turn inward. We must, and we will much about
that the committed day,
you just need to get out of the way.
Okay, so here's I'm watching Charlie Rose, he got Tiger
Woods, the golfers on. And he's a Stanford student, when he was
discovered as a superstar golfer. And he comes in so
here's one of his heroes are these older golfers like Jack
Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and he tells the story about having
lunch with Arnold Palmer. And this kind of epitomizes the
problem with amateur athletics in the United States, which is
governed by a body called the NC double A or he goes to the NC to
A, and the, they have all these rules about all this just to
keep it clean and fresh. And nobody, you know, violates
anything but this kind of thing is what this you see this in his
so called ethics list that reporters are supposed to sign
off on, which are borderline ludicrous, where you can't take
more from me. In other words, if somebody buys you a cup of
coffee, you know, you're, you're ethically you're violation of
somebody's So this week, I just thought, I just thought this
story was kind of fascinating.
And we'd wrap up on godly from so many different things, and
have the conversations and dinners I've had with him. Some
of the great memories is Arnold probably weren't fondest
memories I have was was at Napa and I was in college, and aren't
invited me over for dinner. So I go over to dinner and have
dinner with him in Napa. And Arnold picks up the tab. You
know, and I'm not gonna say how I'm a college student. I'm gonna
pick up my tab and it's Arnold Palmer. Well, I became my coach
found out and did you pick up the tab? No, Arnold did well,
for I reported into the NC two ways. I'm declared ineligible.
And so I go to the All American El Paso and he I have the right
to Arnold Palmer check $25 For my steak, my steak dinner. He
has to cash the check. Fax the copy backs to NC two A's and
then I was declared eligible to play in an all American
here's the kind of bull crap that goes on everywhere. Is that
is is pretty nutty. It's just bull crap. Crazy
Crazy. wants to hear some real bullcrap fake news.
North Korean President Kim Jong Un made the announcement over
the weekend that his grandmother's birthday would
replace Christmas this year. Kim Jong Sook was a communist
activist in the 1940s, who aided the revolution and install the
dictatorship.
Yeah,
yeah, sure.
Rather good got one little clip as a shorty. I just thought this
was kind of ironic that somebody came up with the real with the
numbers regarding CNN and MSNBC against Fox isn't included in
this but this is the H G Home and Garden Television clip.
How does the news get you down? Well, that might be very well
the reason that HGTV has beat out CNN and all. In a recent
poll, Bloomberg is reporting that the network of house
flippers and decorators saw its shares rise more than 30% this
year. All right, I'll give you one just for that. I think now's
a good one.
It sounds Lippard sad
so I have to start the adding HGTV to my beat now so that we
remain relevant
apparently Geez. Oh wow.
All right, everybody. Thank you so much for your support of the
show. Nice list of donors of course for two programs so
please do remember us for Sunday dvorak.org/in A and Sunday will
be the first of the new year we're working on January 1
