You know, I know a lot of guys who nit Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak,
Thursday, December 28 2017. This is your award winning get my
nation media assassination episode nine or nine therefore
this is no agenda. promoting social media balkanization and
broadcasting live from downtown Austin Tejas capital, and Star
State. The Clooney Oh, in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, we're in back home. I'm
John C. Dvorak. Hill.
Ah, where are you gone?
Yeah, went to the store. Oh, Costco. I went to Costco. Hmm.
Interesting.
Now, you have not actually celebrated Christmas yet.
No is coming.
You guys are very interesting. You Devorah clan? I'll tell you.
Yes, we do. We're on.
What do you call it on the cutting edge? Is that what
you're gonna say?
I'm traditional. No non traditional orthodox. Yes, yes.
Yes. And we're not even Jewish. Hey.
Well, we were in shy rack for for the festivities. I want to
hear more. We have a white Christmas that was fantastic.
Yeah, I bet you did. Chris. Oh, my goodness. I had forgotten
what cold was
like yeah, it's not good when Christmas is no fun.
It was zero degrees. And then you get what does this
have these places they won't let you even start a fire so you
can't have like a cozy fire and a white Christmas was the
Juliet's the law
the Airbnb that we had had a fireplace on gas but the gas
wasn't hooked up to it, which was somewhat disappointing and
I've written a review about it. Good pisses me off. Yeah, what's
the point? What's up with Windchill?
When sure What about what would
be what's up with people use that as like a death knell
Yeah, they do. Well, windshield does make a difference. No
kidding.
I you know, just walking outside. And then there wasn't
there was actually no wind when I was outside. And my legs just
froze. was so unbelievable. I had forgotten all about Yeah,
I'd lived in Jersey in New York. And you
were the people who have to realize we noticed this going
back and forth from Washington, is that your pores will
literally change. From hot weather pours to cold weather
pours on it takes weeks. It just doesn't do it automatically. So
when you're coming from hot weather pours, which is what you
are you have generally speaking in Austin, yeah. And you go up
to Chicago, you're just gonna it's gonna be freezing cold.
So you might have to adjust the pores in your skin have to
adjust. Yeah. Oh, I didn't know this.
Yeah. So when you This is why people when they come down from
the northern climes, like Mimi's have demos, attempts should come
down here. Yeah. And she and it'll be like 15 And she's she's
boiling.
To die.
I've also noticed, though, that men and women do have different
temperature settings for themselves.
So there's that there's a little bit of that, but it's really
mostly the pores. That's why you were so cold. And I would have
been that you've been cold for a couple of weeks before we get
used to it. Yeah. climatized as it were.
Yes. So you know, did a just walked around a little bit in
Chicago for about, I don't know, 23 minutes. But part of Chicago
we were in Lincoln Park. Okay, which is a nice
area. It is one of the better one of the three or four good
areas.
We had an Airbnb on the fourth floor. That was a mistake.
Because I had no elevator.
Oh, yes. That was bad.
didn't really consider the
especially when it's freezing out and you can your legs are,
you know, he
used to live in Amsterdam. You know, I'm used to canal houses
and stuff and then, you know, for about the day after the 10th
time. Yeah, okay. Not such a great idea. But it was a lot of
fun. It was a lot of fun. And I met all Tina's family. extended
family. The extended family extended family. Yes. Yeah. Like
husbands of sisters and kids of sisters and her mom had met her
mom. So I met her mom. You never
met her mom. No, no. Yeah. What did your mom think of you?
You're a good man. Adam, is what I heard her say.
Oh, she must. Does she listen to podcasts? I
don't think so. She would never have said that if she listened
to the show. We know better than that.
We had a
special episode for nine or nine or three, which was somebody
loved it. I think pretty much there were.
I asked her Do you guys see him complaining letters because No,
not really
complaining letters. But you know, people say well, you know
clearly the guy is psyops in you. You fell for it. Like that
one. We're just interviewing the guy. What do you feel Are you
all of a sudden working for him?
Like, yeah, you could hear his tricks. It was obvious he was
trying to push back on you and convince you of other things. I
don't think so.
What were you? What was he trying to convince you of that
you had some other opinions? Well, net neutrality. Oh, he's
he's like a net neutrality guy. Well,
no, but he, he is more against corporatism and crony
capitalism. And his feeling is that with net neutrality rules
removed,
you know, now, there's no rules. They haven't been put in place,
you know. And
it's interesting, because I got an email from one of our
producers and saying, Yeah, I was going to go all off and
spotted my friend that this has never been in place. He says he
can find no factual evidence anywhere that these rules were
not implemented. In fact, the documentation says they were
implemented. I guess they just when? The 2015 I think, was that
it?
No, I don't remember what it was.
But were they were they not implemented? I was pretty sure
they were not.
I'm sure they're not were where were they implemented? Who's
wouldn't since when it is a judgment come down and anything
using these rules?
No, not to my knowledge.
But they were official.
Well, they were suggestions. Ah, okay. I mean, you could say, oh,
yeah, well, this is what they were thinking. They be FCC if
they were thinking they if they have these rules, and they're
looking at him, and they're saying that we should we should
follow these these rules and they do it. Well, then you can
say they're implemented, but I don't think I don't know of a
bill that has been passed that is that had a date on it. So
the FCC March 12 2015. published in the Federal Register, April
13, which means because they became effective 60 days after
publishing in the Federal Register. So they were
published, and therefore they were in effect, but they just
seem to have no effect. Or it was there was no, I didn't
notice any difference in anything
would change when they became not in effect, nothing. Nothing.
Nothing's changed. Because this whole thing is bogus.
Oh, no, I'm in agreement with you. But when people call me out
and say, okay, so if they weren't implemented,
it appears as though we're gonna have to do a little work, actual
work and have something to throw back. Oh, God
forbid, okay. Maybe our producers can help us as opposed
to suck. I think she's saying, you know, he
didn't say you suck. He didn't say, but that was the and
pathetic actually, for those who don't know what it is. We're
what happened on the last episode, I interviewed Steve
botanic the psyops master of the United States government.
Yeah, supposedly, yeah. And
when he pushed back, he was spouting off the typical Oh, you
know, but they're gonna charge you extra for access to
Facebook. I like that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned,
but Okay, fine.
It's fine. Good for
me. And we had a little fracas.
So he did he actually say they're going to charge you
extra for access to Facebook?
I don't know if it was verbatim that. But yeah, that's basically
what he was saying.
Why would they do that?
They won't. Then I pushed back and said, and I said, I don't
think that's true at all. And he said, well, well, you're I think
he has his way of, if he doesn't agree with one of his tricks,
which I have noticed is so he'll compliment you on how eloquent
you are. Or how incredibly smart you are, or how smart your
family
is a smartest guy I've ever met. Pretty much like that.
Yeah. But it was good. People seem to like it. This was the
first episode and our let them let them talk series. Let them
talk number one,
are they have another episode next Christmas? Or maybe before
then? Oh, well, for lucky. But as funny thing I've noticed is a
lot of people don't want to talk? No, you just stay only
with this. This would let him talk idea, which is a good idea
is only works with people who want to talk. And then the real
problem is they actually have to be interesting. So we have a
double barrier. This is why we don't do interviews in general.
Finding a Steve magenic is really not that easy.
That's true. That's why it's going to be just a series and
knots and let like a rip. No, we're not going to do a third
show a week. This was this was also you could do three Shows a
week, do one of these Sure.
No problem if it's easy, and that is very difficult. I mean,
this is one of the reasons I always tell people and
backgrounders about the show is that why don't you do it instead
of having my friend on the show? You know, this sort of thing?
Just because there's a number of problems. was one booking people
to do a show is very difficult. They don't they don't show up.
They have all kinds of problems. I'm surprised you pulled it off.
And in fact, you pull it off long before the annual
and and I again want to thank Tommy Garcia, our producer who
was in Florida about an hour away from our botanic lives. And
he went over there with this setup with this mic with this
laptop and everything. And that's it sounded good. And that
was it was like it was just really ugly. We
have producers all over
Yes, yes. Yes. Definitely. Beyond Lucky is just fantastic.
You know, we that's what I like about this. We want to do
another one. We can get one of our producers and they'll be
happy to go over set it up. Make sure it's
90 I pride I wouldn't say 90%. But at least half of our
producers are dudes named Ben. Who can do this? I mean, they
can set people up with even that, even if they've never done
it before they can do it.
Yeah. So no problem now. Okay.
Well, I have a question. Well, first of all, did people
appreciate it with donations? When did you look at the numbers
it did it? Did they were people appreciative of it? Or do I just
have to
say they were just as appreciative of all the
Evergreen shows that we throw in during the holidays, okay. In
other words, no change. Now. We always have to remember of
course, during the holidays like this, like this particular day,
the day before New Year's or Christmas Eve, I think we
weren't at the same problem and New Year's Eve is, which we'll
be doing a show on is that there is no nobody's there not around
people are doing stuff. That's why the network's put all reruns
on for two weeks,
not just the reruns I've noticed a new something new as they're
using villains. The between Fox News is doing this
news. Yeah, they can't do reruns of the news. That's a problem.
Yeah. But yeah, even these shows. So they just have the
people from Fox Business News will come over and host and they
all kind of suck. I know. And Mark Stein who who I like as an
author and as a funny guy to have on the show. He can't host
the he's he's no host. He's no, no, Phil, and
there are some people that are natural guests. Yeah, yeah. And
they can't host
now let me ask you an important question. Did you find out?
Well, of course you haven't really had your Christmas so
it's maybe I can't ask the question. Yeah, we were going to
find out what triggers worked best. With the millennials in
your life, and I guess you haven't seen them so you haven't
had a chance to live it over for dinner. Okay, did you test any
triggers? Did you find it? I found two that really work.
Okay. What are they? Because I didn't find any, anything that
anyone said if a millennial says something and we're picking on
millennials, but they're our kids. We'd love it.
So if they say and by the way, I think they love to be picked on.
I'm not so sure. Yeah, we had some triggering events.
Well, yeah, I mean picking is one thing triggering is another
so I have to one that always if you just be a millennial just
say something to me just just make a statement. Oh, so how we
have was work this week. I don't know make make a statement. Just
you know, like CLI think
Hillary should have one that's racist.
What Yeah, if you just say that doesn't matter. What is the
trigger? It doesn't it can be unrelated to the statement, the
trigger sets in immediately. It's great to watch and say,
hey,
my you know, I don't think my family would fall for that.
Okay, because I'll tell you why. Because Eric, Eric does shill is
racist. Eric this show is is if anybody in the family is
actually black. It's him. And
I was unaware he was raised
in East Oakland. And it just turned out all the neighbors are
black and he picked up a lot of body language and then he said
he's never really read itself and he if he runs into a black
guy is the most obnoxious person in the world is best friends
with Eric
and does Eric start to go into into Eric does
this on purpose. He says That's racist. I just bought the damn
anything is crazy. Okay, okay then he's been doing it for so
long at the dinner table or visit you he'll he'll say
exactly what you said right out of the blue some of those things
because I had to racist and then you'll then it would top it off
or some other kind of thing that's even funnier. So this
would not work because we've all been used to hearing Eric pull
this stunt.
Okay, well, then I have another one. This is the one that it may
be too late. But the just saying Merry Christmas instead of Happy
Holidays was a bonanza. Really, yes. Especially especially in a
in a store. Like just say to the to the person who's helped Merry
Christmas. And it's to me like holidays say about you gotta say
happy holidays.
Well, that's okay. Let me mention something here. That is
very retro grade. That argument is over years ago but okay if
they're still stuck with that and Chicago does well,
let me tell you, and this goes very, very deep. Because it's
obvious why why this is happening because Merry
Christmas equals religion equals Yeah, Republican
that your holiday stems from it stems from Holy Day. Oh, John,
I'm gonna throw this out there. Oh, you're more religious than
me you saying Happy holy days. But hey, let's play this clip.
Merry Christmas vs Happy holiday.
Okey dokey for he and the First Lady were married and posted
this late night tweet. People are proud to be saying Merry
Christmas again. I am proud to have led the charge against the
assault on our cherished and beautiful phrase. Merry
Christmas. Some people believe the so called war on Christmas
began when retail stores started swapping out the term. Merry
Christmas for Happy Holidays. And by 2005 that change upset
several cable news hosts like Bill O'Reilly but frustration
with the term may be less about religion than politics. A poll
conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute found 66% of
Democrats for first tours use the term Happy Holidays. While
67% of Republicans say stores should only say Merry Christmas.
On the campaign trail candidate Trump promised to bring back the
phrase politics aside, Mr. Trump's not the first President
to say Merry Christmas to his predecessor use the phrase every
year. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, everyone. Merry
Christmas, everybody. Merry Christmas, everybody.
past presidents also use the term Happy Holidays, which comes
from Old English for the term holy days. And Christmas is the
only federal holiday based on religion. Serena, Marshall, ABC
News Washington.
Right. And there's no reason unless they're at purely
Democrats. Yes it really
well. Come on aren't all Millennials Democrats? Yes.
Okay. So I'm telling you the sequence is Merry Christmas
crazy religious people crazy religious right? There's a war
on on God. There's a war on religion. Not not Islam, of
course, but Christianity and even Judaism. I think this war
on Jews. So when you say Merry Christmas, it's religious.
You're crazy religious right? You're Republican. You're Donald
Trump. That's the sequel only
how it's just woman says in this report, which is quite concise.
I might add. It's the only holiday that is a religious
holidays act literally, literally literally religious
holiday. Yes. And so if you're, you're celebrating this holiday
or going to work that day,
you know, and I read so it's a religious
holiday. So it's not like all you're doing is if you don't
like it, change it, and I'm sure they'd love to get a
constitutional amendment changed Well, that's not an amendment
issue. No, it's a law no. And but I think that I think the
comeback is happy Holy Days. Happy holiday is stemming from
Holy Day. That's more religious to me especially in a generality
within Merry Christmas, which is kind of a conjured up holidays
not they don't know the dates is all kind of phony.
And then the Jews on Facebook who are front who I'm friends
with face bag friends. They had their and these would be liberal
friends of mine. And they would say Oh, go ahead wish me Merry
Christmas. For me. It's just Monday. I mean, go to work. What
are you doing on face bag? Do some work?
Tell him to get jet tell him to talk about it with Hannukah
Harry.
Who's Who's Hanukkah hair?
Oh, we talked about this on the on the no agenda. I'm sorry. I
didn't hear it. Oh, yes. Horror was says that the Jews have
agaisnt have a Santa Claus like character called Hannukah.
Harry. Because the kids Jewish kids, they're seeing all this
stuff going on. They got the tree is the trees and the Santa
Claus and all this stuff, but they can't. And so they've
dreamed up Hannukah Harry and apparently has been on forever.
A lot of non Jews don't know about it. And they have some
sort of tree called something is they've got another was a
parallel universe Christmas. Starring Hannukah Harry. So it's
bull crap. They got to take the day off. They're not working on
Monday. That's funny. Yeah, it does. So it's what it is. I
never heard a Hannukah Harry. No.
And I didn't hear anything about Kwanzaa this year.
Yes. Kwanzaa for some reason just dropped by the wayside.
Yeah. Sad. So But was it you? Or was it one of the kids that
mentioned to me about Festivus being an invention of Donald
Trump? away? That's apparently going around some face back
circle. Cheese that Donald Trump's responsible for phony
Seinfeld episode, some awkward way which was done in the 90s.
Anyway, no. Well, I can say Merry Christmas around here and
nobody cares. Californians are more lacs about this stuff. And
then again, there's that example of Obama year after year after
year saying Merry Christmas, right? They complain about that.
Because he's not a Republican. And he's a Muslim. We know.
Well, yeah. Why not give a Muslim can say it. Anyone can
say it.
But then on a serious note, did you see this video that was
going around this guy who had a dashboard camera, drove around
downtown LA on Christmas Day. Where it's just the claim is
20,000 homeless people, many of them intense and he just drives
around block after block both sides of the street completely
lined with tents.
Yeah, best unemployment year ever.
I mean, it's real. This is it's it's unbelievable.
I could do the same thing in Oakland. I can do it here in
Austin. I took my first trip for like, maybe two years, because I
had to go pay the taxes and before the deadline so I could
get my full credit for my back. Property taxes.
Now I've heard you I did hear you talking about with what for
what what no driving
down San Pablo Avenue in Oakland all hamburger places. There used
to be a quarter pounder. There's now it's a taco Ria. And it was
homeless people all the way into Oakland where then all of a
sudden, it's all brightened up. And everything's really fine in
Oakland, but this is Oakland to it's just the end there under
the overpasses everywhere you go. Now they're on both sides of
the where there's only one side last week
and what is being done is this is just a state's thing. Right.
States have to take care of this federal government can't. City
city city. Yeah, it's distressing. It's really
distressing.
Yeah, especially when everyone says oh, the unemployment is
lowest ever than it ever has been is not even
close. What are the shadow stats numbers that we're still 20%
is actually trending down on the shadow stats finally, was
trumped gun and it started trending down. But it still is
still sitting at 22%. Yeah, while we're lucky. And by the
way, it looks like it to me too. And you drive around, see all
these guys in tents? I mean, those people are unemployed, but
the government doesn't count them. Oh, he's in a tank. He's
not in the job. He's not in the workforce. Right? He'd like to
be. Yeah.
Let me see. While we're, while we're talking about the young
generation. Let's go to our DOD reports segment. Bill Gates,
admitted that his Common Core experiment was a failure.
It was a failure after that he admitted it. What's the what's
the next sneaky trick? Is he going to try?
interesting you ask that is called next generation. So they
spent $4 billion in implementing Common Core
taxpayer money, not his money.
They say that No, I think
now there's no way he spent $4 billion. I'm sorry. Yeah, would
it I'm sorry. 400 million. itself influenced 4 trillion in
US taxpayer funds towards the goal. That seems a little much,
but 400 million sounds right.
Yeah, that sounds like he can afford that he
can afford that. Yeah. He says, Well, you know, there's one
thing I've learned, it's that no matter how enthusiastic we might
be about one approach, or the other decision to go from pilot
to widescale use is ultimately and always something that has to
be decided by you and the others in the field. Yeah. Thanks,
Bill.
I've been doing a little test marketing. You know what that
means? Yeah. What do you mean? No, I'm just asking Bill Bill.
Yeah, he should know. Yeah. Although that VISTA I don't know
if he doesn't know about.
They tested that. It's one of those things where they it's all
in house testing. Yeah. And it's and with Microsoft during that
era where they used that kind of fire me yet for people I forgot
was stack ranking or whatever it's called. Yes. Back ranks
that stack ranking at those were the days where you never say
anything bad because you get to rank poorly by one of your co
workers and get fired. So everything was oh, this is
great. Oh Bill, that's the best thing I've ever seen. Ah, that's
tremendous, tremendous, good thinking. Kind of a problem. So
common core is is will be fading fading away and And next
generation science standards will be coming in. And, again,
the whole, the real issue with this is that it's all done on
the computer, the learning and the testing done on the
computer, which does not necessarily mean the kids are
learning anything. They're learning how to make the
computer, give them a smiley face or little loop loop loop
loop. Or little. Pavlov the ending?
Yeah, I think computers should be taken out of education, you
know, at least for the until you get to high school. And then
there should be a computer lab, where you learn about computers
and computer aided people, they get them sitting in front of a
computer, they don't even know how the computer works. Yeah, I
mean, I think you should at least have an understanding of
like, if they if they have a pretty example, they just have
auto shop. And the idea was that you could work on these cars,
but you had to have some understanding of how the car
actually works. Right? What an internal combustion engine does.
And the same thing I believe with computers, I think you if
otherwise, you're just like, this magical thing with a screen
in front of you. That's that's doing magical stuff. That's not
the way it should you should be thinking about these things.
Well, that's only going to get worse, the computers will no
longer be serviceable. You can't overly you already can't open up
here.
No, I don't think it's well, the Mac has always been kind of that
way. But I think you could still understand how the Mac works are
looking at the thing I'm using for podcasting, I use an Intel
NIC and the Intel Nic, you can actually open it up and swap out
the solid disk, the solid state hard disk, you can pull it out
and put a bigger one. And because it's always too small,
and they have a Wi Fi thing that you can put in
instead of that, John, instead of understanding that the kids
are being taught to
code, which which makes even less sense
when which brings me to a clip. This was on. It was a pre
recorded clip. Tucker Carlson had Bryan Caplan on, he's a law
professor from Harvard. And he has well, you'll hear at the
end, he has tenure. So he's able to say this kind of stuff. And
he's against the entire idea of sending all of our kids to
higher education. And he was there was some some things I
caught on on the news over the break, that were really go
against all of the broadcast standards, and certainly, to
say, oh, you know, we shouldn't be sending all the kids to
higher education they should go to vocational school is quite
controversial.
The heart of my story is something called the signaling
model of education, when in common sense terms, it just
says, a lot of the reason why education pays isn't that you're
learning useful job skills, you're showing off, you're
jumping through hoops, you're impressing employers. But of
course, if everybody jumps through the hoops that can
impress employers, you got to jump through more hoops and
everybody else Or else the whole process is wasting Exactly.
The costs are really high. I mean, the cost not just to the
individual, but to society, a generation of young people, how
do those match up against the benefits?
Yeah, well, so again, for the individual, what I what I say is
that if you are a strong student, then college is a good
deal for you, especially if you do one of the high earning
majors. On the other hand, if you are weaker students, someone
who struggles to get through high school than college is
probably just going to be a waste of money, even for you
personally. But again, I always try to turn it around to not
just thinking about what's good for the individual, but thinking
about it, from the point of view of society that should we really
be encouraging more people to go, if people are actually
acquiring a lot of useful skills in school, well, then it is an
investment in our human capital. On the other hand, if the main
thing you're doing is jumping through hoops and showing off,
it's really a socially wasteful process to a large degree. And
that's really what I say is it is extremely wasteful for
society. A lot of people are picking up addictions and mental
illness. Sure, of course, you can do that other places. But
yeah, I mean, in a way, you might say there's the addiction
to getting more education, which is fairly rampant. So what
percentage would you and this is speculative, but of any society
are ours specifically ought to be going to college so that
5% 5% So that would make you an elitist in a bad person because
you're writing off the other 95%? Correct? Well, you might
say that it's elitist to think that only a good person would
have to be a good person. Or you might you might think that you'd
have to be elitist to think that you aren't a good person if you
don't go to college. So you're only like coming over to the
colleges kind of thing. A lot of people just go through and punch
the clock and sift through classes and get a degree in
something or other don't see that really improves them as a
as a human being. It's a big burden on society. And also it's
just an email a burden on the individual to feel like if I
don't accomplish this, then my whole life is a waste of time.
And then I say, you know, there's many different paths to
success. I'm a big fan of vocational education, the kind
that you see in countries like Germany and Switzerland. I think
it's just a very, very notable how little of it under under of
an underclass they have they're the kind of person who in the US
would say I hate Cool, I'm sick of being here, maybe I'll go and
drop out and be a criminal in Switzerland or Germany or
getting foreign podcast or panic, or to be a plumber. So
you learn independence, learn scales, you get a peer group of
skilled craftsmen instead of a peer group of criminals and drop
out. Meaning I think ultimately, the problem is the American
people. People join with you, as you said, people love the idea
of education. If you go and look at survey evidence, the share of
Americans who favor cutting education is almost minuscule.
And that's really the main thing that I'm pushing is spending
less on education, saving, saving money on something that
really doesn't deliver the goodness, especially from a
social point of view? And you know, thinking about better ways
of spending it, Chief tenure? Oh, yes.
Yeah, that's what you got. Your bosses aren't impressed by this
argument.
Yeah. Can't talk like that. Unless you got tenure. That's
for sure. So like,
do we use neck? Tucker Carlson clip?
Well, you know, in a broader perspective, we are raising a
slave class, who are in debt going to a school that is
really, really only just a fancy piece of paper. I
mean, you know, there's a couple of things I didn't like about
this one was his comment of Hi, what is the highest really put a
high earning major? If he's going to take the argument,
which is 5% thing which I agree with the basic the basis of
everything he said. But when you stay say some of that I high
earning major. I don't know what he's talking about. Because
especially in undergraduate work in college, there is no, there's
no high earning major. It's a I got my degree in history with
some chemistry, which didn't get me a job.
Well, back in the day, you got a job. Yeah. I don't know how to
get a job now.
Probably not. I'd be broke. But the sociology, history,
literature, English, you know, there's a bunch Latin I mean,
there's a bunch of things you can get. There's no high earning
majors in there except the engineering, right? And then you
should probably should get a master's degree or something a
little higher. And so that doesn't make any sense. How
about this?
How about when I the high earning major is something you
can use to become a teacher or professor? That's about it?
No, no. The way I see it, because I was kind of I went
bounced around majors. And so I had to I had to take, I had one
of my I really started off in college as a freshman and I went
to the I was told to go to a junior college and figure out
what I wanted to do. And so I went to Foothill. And at
Foothill, I took I took all those practical courses, I took
broadcasting. I took advertising, they had a course
it wasn't I couldn't, couldn't transfer the I couldn't transfer
some of these courses back to Cal. But I did take the other
courses English and all these other things that got me. We got
my great point up and I went back to Cal, but I went back to
Cal in history out of the blue, something I never expected to
do. Because I had a history instructor. Kermit Franklin was
his name at Foothill who was extremely entertaining and a
made it very exciting. And his commentary was always at your
you don't go to college to get a job. You go to college to
improve your your educational skills, your way of thinking and
you just to improve yourself.
And that was the classic way organizational skills.
Well, organizational thinking skills was what I was thinking.
Yes, critical thinking. So I get a degree in history. Now. I'm a
podcaster. And I've been an essayist for like 2530 years.
There's nothing to do with history. I mean, I do bring,
that's not true. I believe your your history, education is
extremely valuable to the program.
Yes. But it's just the ancillary if I didn't have the history,
you're in something else. I think we'd still be podcasters.
But the point is, is that this idea of you have to go to this
is the problem. You don't go to school to get a job. You want a
job, go get a job, right.
This is not the popular opinion.
No, it's a very unpopular opinion. And people always go,
Well, what good you know, I'm taking his history. What good is
it going to do me? Well, you know, here we go. You can be a
low paid podcaster. Yeah. And
be the smart way to go. That's pretty much the future for
everybody. Everybody's got to be a podcast. They all listened to
him. So yeah,
everybody listens. The pilot. The number of people listen to
random podcasts that nobody else listens to is astonishing. And I
like what's new. I talked to pi Oh, I listen. I went and had a
drinks with the Illuminati and one of and one of our friends
are one of our I think he's one of our knights. And they would
both they both were rattle off these podcasts. Yeah, that no
one's heard of. They never heard of any of these podcasts and I
have write them down and
they hadn't. And they were listening to different podcasts
themselves, which they hadn't heard of. That's what I noticed.
Like, oh, I listened to this. I'd never heard of that. I
listen to this. Oh, never heard of that.
Yeah, there must be a million podcasts.
Oh, man, we sprouted something beautiful. Didn't we? didn't do
it. Well, this brings me to another podcast, which was
recorded as a podcast. It aired on BBC Radio four, I believe,
Prince Harry and President Obama. I don't know if you had a
chance to listen to this. I
have a clip from it. Oh, okay. I have a clip. But I only have one
clip.
I have the same clip.
I see. i Yeah. If you heard that clip, you would have Yeah, you
would die. Same thing. Well, I minus longer. Well, you can play
the long version. I just wanted to keep it concise because I
thought it was very insightful and important what Obama said,
although I disagree with it. I don't disagree with it.
I do. Let's listen to it.
Okay, so the social media landscape has changed
dramatically. Since then, issues of trolling extreme extremism,
fake news and cyber bullying, aka major social issues. Is
there is there more that you could have done as President to
get ahead of some of these issues? Do you think?
Well, most of this is happening in the outside of government,
and in the United States, in particular, we have a very
strong first amendment. I am a, as a former constitutional
lawyer, constitutional lawyer, firm about the merits of free
speech. And the question I think, really has to do with how
do we harness this technology, in a way that allows a
multiplicity of voices allows a diversity of views, but doesn't
lead to a balkanization of our society, but rather, continues
to promote ways of finding common ground. And I'm not sure
government can legislate that. But what I do believe is that
really all of us in leadership have to find ways in which we
can recreate a common space on the internet, because my space
will be the United States at least, for example, we had three
television stations, and everybody watched Walter
Cronkite or David Brinkley, or whoever the chief anchor was,
everybody had a common set of facts, and so almost ready, but
people generally could agree on on a baseline of reality. One of
the dangers of the internet is that people can have entirely
different realities, just cocooned in information that
reinforces their current biases.
All right. Go ahead, and then I'll give you my take on
it. Will my commentary is that what he said was at the end is
all the rest of it just blather. But at the end? He I think
defined dimension a dimension B? Yes, he did. Now having done
that, I believe he's he's noticing the same phenomenon
that we notice, only he's noticing it from dimension a
erim. Sorry, from Dimension B. And he thinks that all the
Republicans and the voting for Trump and all the stuff that
happened after during the election or before the election,
and the tweeting and all the rest of it, he thinks that part
is the nutty part. And everybody should be a Democrat. That's
what I believe he's actually trying to say there and he when
he's talking about people cocooning themselves, he's
pointing the finger at the Republicans. Yes.
To me, when he said the balkanization, you have to be
careful, the balkanization and let me just explain
balkanization that is, such as the Balkans, which belong to
Mother Russia, and then we're broken apart and then you have
all these little states. Now, this to me was actually quite
clarifying. He wants a central space with a set common set of
facts, which I usually just call it my space because that would
work great. He is he's advocating for centralized
systems, which goes against the entire nature of the internet.
The beauty of and the reason why Facebook and Twitter and
everything is falling apart, and it is falling apart. Because
it's not the liberal voices that are being silenced by loud
conservative voices as Twitter themselves state. Like all
people are so loud on Twitter, other people are afraid to tweet
bullcrap the balkanization is the DNA of the internet. It is a
decentralized system in its credit core. That is exactly
what is wrong with the internet today, we should not have all of
these centralized spaces. Go over there and talk about what
you want to talk about go over there now, should there be a way
to connect them? So you can cross over and go like I'm a
member of the I hate Donald Trump group, just to see what
people are saying. I'm not going to go post in it. I'm not going
to you know, I'm not going to say much, probably. But that is
what the internet is. It is balkanized. And if he talks
about I don't know if the government can legislate this
meaning maybe we can. That's a huge mistake. It will never
work. We need to promote decentralization. He will not
work the central space, you can see it failing.
Well, I didn't get that much out of it. I guess all I noticed
that was important in that entire interview, which was very
stodgy was the fact that he noticed that we have the
dimension a dimension? Yes, yes. The rest of this, I don't even
know
what it is. But these are two globalists. This is what the
globalist want the globalist one. Same, everybody. Same
rules, same laws, equality, justice, say money. Everybody
wants all of that. Yeah,
but what do you expect when you have two globalist talking to
each other? Exactly,
but it is it is not going to work?
Well, I think we're pretty confident that that's the case.
I think it'll work when they start censoring everything and
shutting down websites and doing getting you have to get you have
to take bolder moves. You got to start shutting stuff down. You
got to put that FBI sticker on anything that you disagree with
whatever make you do that, you know, luckily,
NPR has thought about this problem. As you know, NPR they
they they fight and battle fake news. So they came up with a
brilliant idea. And they said why don't we do a hackathon,
hackathon. And have all the smart kids come up with ways to
solve the fake news problem on the web, it
was a hackathon that competitors took to the problem of fake
news. The winning programmers made an extension that you can
add to your Internet browser which is called Open mind
designed to help separate the bogus from the real. Now listen
to the I've never heard more Newspeak in my life, then this
particular clip is called Open mind this, this app this
extension mentioned
that you can add to your Internet browser which is called
Open mind designed to help separate the bogus from the
real.
One of the programmers who made open minds as the answer to fake
news requires more than code. Stephen Gutenberg is a PhD
candidate at Yale,
most approaches try to train a machine to essentially delineate
between fake and real news. You can't necessarily be sure that
your algorithm is going to be smart enough to do so. So our
approach was to rather train people on how to do this
themselves.
Another member of the team, Michael Lopes brow says that's
what open mind does. It encourages you to seek more
information.
So as you're whether it be social media site, it doesn't do
anything.
It's no, it's if you have an open mind install, this will
close it for
you, you to seek more information.
So as you're navigating the web, whether it be social media site,
or just doing some random Google searches, our app will be
tracking your browsing history, and basically being an analysis
of what kind of text
what could go wrong meeting and if the computer notices you
leaning in a particular political direction that's
led this is fantastic. If you're leaning in a particular than
what the computer should
shock, you, give you a jolt, you should be sitting at a metal
place,
you know, right through the touchpad, you know, oh, shoot,
I'm leaning in the wrong direction is this
what kind of text it is you're reading.
And if the computer notices you leaning li in a particular
political direction, it's going to let you know, you can
actually go to a dashboard, see your own bio,
see your own bias toe, I can't wait to install this extension.
Or you can actually go to a dashboard, see your own bias and
get suggestions for reputable outlets on another side. Why
we hope that your right to slow Vitiate having a very easy
access to news from the other side of the aisle. And to show
will also appreciate having real time analytics so that they can
better monitor the kind of news that they digest
sort of like how when you're on a diet or something you're
trying to monitor your nutrition intake. The vision for this is
like that. But for news.
I love this. The no agenda show now with zero calories. What
kind of nutrition could you nutrition number could you put
on information?
The vision for this is like that. But for news.
The programmers say they're gonna launch open mind early
next year. The prize by the way for winning the hackathon is a
visit to Congress swear they will get to show off their
product to some very polarized news consumers.
This is a disaster waiting to happen. Yes. But of course, once
it's released, and once it goes into the wild, it'll be picked
apart, ridiculed, those guys are going to be in for a heap of
trouble, because they're gonna get nothing but hate. And you
can't
you can't use this in Europe. You know, you can't be tracking
people with stuff. I guess if you install it and you agree to
it, maybe you can. I don't know. And then where's it aggregated?
Does it say no, some magical dashboard is that is a Utah this
is just Yeah. I mean, this seems like a fabulous tracking program
to see who we need to eliminate because they're leaning in.
This is the worst. I'm gonna give you a borderline clip for
that. But that was going on. Yeah, yeah. You got a good one
there.
Now, by the same token, we have other issues. The World Health
Organization is coming out with their new International
Classification of Diseases report. Yeah. Which I think
that's the one that classifies homelessness. No, no, I'm wrong
about that. But there's there's all kinds of
dog bite on a bus. I say what? Dog Bite on a bus? What about
it? Is that the one the medical thing where they have all these
little things listed? So if you have a dog bite on a bus, it's
got a special code you got to put in?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, that's, I know what you're thinking. Let
me see. No, now this is infected. Now I have it here.
This is the ICD 11 Beta draft. And it has stuff like external
causes, musculoskeletal system, circulatory sleep wake
disorders. But the one that is on deck and in the draft is
gaming.
Yes, I have a clip of that too.
Okay, let's play your clip. Is that video game addiction?
I would think so.
The World Health Organization is looking into officially
recognizing video game addiction as a mental health disorder.
Scientists say excessive gaming can cause depression and
aggressive behavior problems which can be diagnosed and
treated. The new classification could come in the new year.
Alright, let me read the description to you. This is this
is something you don't get from any news anywhere. It says oh
gamers are crazy. Although every study so far that we've seen to
date this shows no correlation between gaming and violence or
anything of the like, gaming disorder. That's the title the
name of it is characterized by a pattern of persistent or
recurrent gaming behavior, in parentheses, digital gaming or
video gaming, which may be online, ie over the internet or
offline, manifested by number one, impaired control over
gaming. Example onset frequency intensity, duration termination
context, to increasing priority given to gaming to the extent
that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and
daily activities and three, continuation or escalation of
gaming. Despite the occurrence of negative consequences to
behavior pattern is of sufficient severity to result in
significant impairment in personal family, social,
educational, occupational, and other important areas of
functioning. The pattern of gaming behavior may be
continuous or episodic and recurrent. The gaming behavior
and other features are normally evident over a period of at
least 12 months in order for a diagnosis to be assigned.
Although the required duration may be shortened if all
diagnostic requirements are met, and symptoms are severe.
And you read number two again,
number two increasing priority given to gaming to the extent
that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and
daily activities.
You mean like watching football every Sunday or to having a
season ticket to the basketball team? And going to every game
like Jack Nicholson does he sits in the front row? All Laker
games, anything like that is that mentioned as a possibility
as one of these ailments No, well,
they they put it in the same these are disorders due to
addictive behaviors. Here are the categories in the ICD 11
Beta draft gambling disorder, which can be predominantly
offline predominantly online online or unspecified. There's
gaming disorder and then they go to other specified disorders due
to addictive behaviors. Which I guess would be drugs. So they
put gambling on
about a football game. Nah,
they unless you're gay. gambling
on it?
What about? Well, you know, this would call qualifies gaming,
whatever to say it anyway, because I think this would
probably fall into the gaming thing. Fantasy Football Sure.
fantasy sports because these guys, you know, this is like the
vs encouraged. It's also encouraged by society new
fantasy football. Because it gets you more interested in the
games even though you're not rooting for a team, you're
rooting for players. Hey, this is you know, this is just normal
to me. I don't you know, people like to do this stuff.
I mean, I get wrapped up in something with your time. How
about day traders? How about people trading Bitcoin? They're
obsessed. They're up at all hours of the night. Yeah,
they're so obsessed. They bitch to you. They send me an email.
And they continue to do it despite negative consequences of
I don't know, losing your money. Boy, they really created a
loading zone over Christmas poor schmucks. People don't
understand the psychology of it. Like, oh, it's down to 13. Oh,
it's down to 12,500 buy on the dip buy on the dip goes up. Oh,
yes, it's 15 Oh, shit, it's down to 13 people are gonna get so
hurt.
Well, I think especially the people who and these are the
pillars should be looked at the people who are mortgaging their
homes. Yes. Yes. Yeah, you can? Yeah, it's impossible. I'm just
finding what is. My question is what is the agenda behind
throwing just this? In? Sure. People are addicted to gaming?
Sure. They are sure people get into it. And I mean, I think
virtual reality is going to be horrible for for social.
I have a theory. Okay. No advertising.
No, put them back into some situation where there's
advertising, like watching football on TV, that they can
feed them advertising. This is the non disk gaming, it's like,
there's no way of communicating with them. The fact that they
need to buy a Lexus for Christmas, or that they need to
be you know, to buy some some, some type of soap. There's
nothing, there's no and they've tried this, by the way, I should
mention this. In a lot of games, they actually sold advertising
space. I think they actually did it
in Grand Theft Auto had advertising space in the
beginning.
And second, third life or second life or whatever. Second Life,
yes, the third. Life was for cats. And so you have these
billboards that were sold to people. I don't know how
effective it was probably not at all. But they don't want this we
want the people watching TV and you looking at native ads in the
newspaper and doing these things that are more normal.
Ah, this makes sense to me. We want people to participate in
our system. That's what the world health organization wants.
They don't really give a crap about you being addicted to
gaming and of course gaming addiction exists, but why is it
in this report as one of only three categories?
Why is it on the CBS Evening News
good call
because there's no advertising made maybe Oh, okay, well we
need to keep our eye on that. See if they make any moves
well, the advertising guys you know, they've been pulling their
hair out trying to get into these scenes where they can
advertise
I know like Electronic Arts definitely has sponsorships I
don't know about real advertising sponsorships in
their games for sure. I know that
we are well that's a plus. So okay,
that makes a lot more sense than like we need to we need you to
participate in our program slaves we need you we need you
online looking at ads we need you're watching TV looking at
ads we need you just looking at ads so we can continue and I
probably also because these are closed systems. You know no one
can get in you can't have Russian trolls can get in and
start start trolling you to vote the wrong way.
Yeah, didn't happen. drop of a hat dangerous and put that app
on your computer the one that tells you if you're gonna if
you're thinking it's not thinking right if you're leaning
or if you're leaning in the wrong way. Yeah, believable.
We're doomed. No. Just appear if you're not allowed to Yeah, I'm
not gonna say that.
We're doomed. I'm depressed.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in
the morning to you John. See what the C stands for? Can't be
doomed. Devorah Ack.
Well in the morning to Mr. Adam curry also good morning to all
ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the
water and all the names and nights out there.
Yes in the morning to the troll room. No agenda stream.com Who
are trolling the hard and heavy today saying I don't get it. I
don't know. I'm stupid. I'm a Fed shill. That's my favorite.
I'm a Fed shill because I'm gonna get because I'm against
Bitcoin
hedge shield. Like in
that in the morning to nick the rat who brought us the artwork
for episode nine or nine or three. That was our let them
talk episode number one and we did have quite a controversy
after episode 992 I'm sure you caught some of that. But
regarding the artwork for 992, which was the soya Sanchez
husband. Now, if there's one person who has bitched and
moaned at us throughout the years, where that someone's
taking art and it's not on your free fair, you should you you
are actually, it is not under fair yours. That would be comic
strip blogger. Yeah. And he uploaded art, which we both
liked. And we looked at it and said, Well, that's probably
stolen. That was it. Oh, no, it's different from the one that
is in this book Santas husband. And we did an image search,
which we always do. We're always trying to protect original
artwork. And not 15 minutes after the show was released. I
get a tweet from the guy who drew all the illustration who is
his book? He says, that's funny. Why is someone called comic
strip blogger being credited for my work? And as I went into, and
he was, I hope he didn't listen to the show. But I went I just
Oh, dude, I'm so sorry. Can we just put your name on the
credits? Yeah, that's fine. And Please promote the book. Okay,
so he put Santos husband in there. But comics or Blogger
really blew it. And I think it's the first time we've had this
happen.
No, well, yeah, it was the first time we had it with art. We did
have it with a clip that somebody dreamed up. There was a
produced clip from some specific podcast and then
yeah, yeah, but not with art.
No, but we've seen a lot of art that was stolen. Yes. And we
just haven't used it. Because and by the way, the way we do
that, we look at the art and we, we say is this guy, if the guy's
a professional artist, yeah. And we have a number of real pros
that can do slick stuff. It's usually got a style, that's
always that's theirs. And so we don't even bother with that. And
then we have guys who are good artists, and they generally they
sometimes, and they have a certain consistent style. And
all this stuff is documented in the on the website on that site.
No agenda generator. And you and then there's one that's out of
place, it's out of context. It's like that's what I thought with
blog commentary bloggers piece, I looked at it, that was why we
started looking into it. And I said, this is not his style of
cartooning, right it's a little different and it's different
enough that we checked it out and we did we didn't find that
that art Rhino where he got it
and it was apparently on the inside of the book or something
that's just it wasn't widely published on on the on the Nana
which is why the image search didn't turn up nothing
didn't didn't turn up nothing.
And I'm actually surprised that is the first time this has
happened.
Right? And he's by the way he's apologized so it's okay, but you
know, let this be warning we really need to have as much
original art as possible it's that's what our show was always
been as original as we possibly can
be out with now the original can also mean a very good and deep
re do of something that can be twisted in such a way that in
other words fairly so you make it a parody, a parody or fair
use and you got a piece art and you can always by the way,
there's plenty of public domain art out there anything before
1900 Now with the old stuff you can do over anyway is it happens
and it just happened in is too bad. Yeah, we're not we're not
mad it was just always show us the peace. Well, hell
we got the no agenda show, man. Let's thank some people who now
this is for two shows.
This is for two shows. Most of it is for one show this show.
So you're saying not a lot came in everyone loved the let them
talk episode, but almost no one donated for it. Is that what
you're saying?
I would say that if you compare the monies from the first and
then the second, it would be about two thirds after the two
thirds new 1/3. But you know, it's hard to say okay, okay,
wait breaks out. It's just if I just
want to make sure that when we do this, you know that that
work? I thought it was valuable. And I just want to make sure we
get some value back. That's all that's the system. That's that's
our agreement with our production audience.
My general thinking is that anytime we do any sort of
evergreen weathers interviews or a RT Ramsey canes material or
clips of clips or songs. We're always going to take a hit.
Always right, except for one thing we're not actually doing
that and he worked that day so we don't have to get up early.
Right. So there's this we're paying for that. Got it. Let's
start with
AJ van Steen burger,
you know, I don't know what I can do about this but give Eric
can use a lighter gray it would be useful because I guess like
dark gray with
black. Oh, works for me. Awesome. Looks good here.
But it looks like crap here. Okay, but but AJ van Steenbergen
burger or I burger again. I'm reading from his note. Okay. And
Carl in Carlsbad, California gave us $1,500 He's a top guy he
donated before he is a retired lieutenant colonel in the
Marines. And he uses marine letterhead which is really
dynamite. In boasting of the tops Semper Fidelis on it
gentlemen, please accept his attire I'd be able to keep up
marine like please accept this attach donation from a humble
night. This and by the way he is
this is gotta be he's gotta be he's gonna update his game
today. You
know he's Yeah, he's going right to Baron and I he explains it
this contribution to take me to Baron hood. I elected to pursue
this course of action to avoid carrying the title of Baron net.
Both because the title entitles me to no territory. And because
it is not what I think of as a manly title. Agree and by the
way, we know this Yes. And it's not Baronet. He's got to spell B
AR o n e t t likes like a majorette No, it's br o n e t.
Yes. correct spelling, so it's not that feminine.
He's not on our list. So I've added him to a title change
because that didn't happen and yes, you should do Okay, does he
have a name for his barony or protector? Reading
alright. Please change my knighthood name to surge Joseph
and dubbed me the Baron of Southern California if that
territory is available, so this brings up the question yes, we
do have bear and Mark Tanner I can't remember what his
territory is down there and as a couple other barons I believe in
Southern California but I don't know anything we're just taking
Southern California to take an areas are there so there will be
a dispute. So this will be this will be disputed and we should
make that clear
okay so we will we will give him the title change and we will
work it out when the dispute arises.
Yes we will but I can guarantee that this will be disputed we're
gonna have to work something
that was kind of shoot first ask questions later
Oh absolutely. Got it. Just like the Marines the
no agenda way
I just kidding just kidding Marines we said the police
goodness knows these people need benevolent benevolent leadership
if they're to survive the coming apocalypse brought on by the
hordes of immigrants streaming across the southern border to
the first sanctuary state. Sadly, these subjects will not
know how much help they need until they have hit rock bottom
in keeping with Adams desire to hear about people whose lives
have been changed by your program, is that your desire I
didn't know that
is that that is well we have discussed that this is what did
we discuss this was the biggest reward for me doing the show.
Please know that that I have been homebound for almost five
years by severe nerve damage to my feet likely caused by almost
35 years of active duty and a bit too much running and hiking
CBD
CBD CBD
CBD and now it's legal. Yeah, CBD actually will should help
you in this regard. And he I mentioned this I hate to tell
you this, but I'm going to do it. I've talked to a lot of
vendors of cannabis products. And oh, by the way, they're one
of the bills passed on one of the states that spell checker
when they were issued about legalizing cannabis changed it
to legalizing cannibalism.
Professor Ted would be so proud.
It was got passed. Anyway, the vendors will tell you that you
really need a 5050 dose because CBD does need some THC to work
to. For full benefit.
Do you mean okay so 50 50% CBD 50% thc?
This is what we although these geysers all look like stoners to
me. But this is what most of the vendors will tell you in states
where there's been legalized for a while and they've got enough
experience with CBD to make these claims. But that chamber
The
just on topic but not for the donation I got an A follow up
note from bad Chad from Colorado or EMT buddy member he is his
blue collar worker dad totally against weed hates the whole
idea and he in the car it was all the CBD cream was working.
Yeah so he said
the cream works great just use the cream the cream on your feet
might
work and he said I sent old man my old man a care package from
lavender blossoms. This is what what I received. This was the
CBD only version. Unfortunately this totally backfired. He's
been out to Colorado about three times in six years to visit us
mostly to see our son and after trying the CBD THC salve we
picked up at the dispensary here he was already planning another
trip back the Reefer Madness was upon him. His own flesh and
blood hadn't been enough to ditch the hellish Wisco winter
and whisk Wisco Wisconsin winter and break out to 300 days of
annual sunshine here with us. But after the first taste of the
sweet, sweet kind, bud, he's ready to drive 16 hours to the
most miserable section of highway on planet earth until
now that damn lavender blossom goo I sent him apparently works
just as well or better than whatever he got here. And now
he's staying put in the frozen wastelands. Thanks for ruining
Christmas lavender blossoms.
It works. Yeah, it does work. It's fancy.
My wife has to use it for she got arthritis in her hand and
it's all wrecked. And she uses this stuff and it just feels
fine. That's why I'll say it again. I'll say it again until
people finally realize that I'm going to say it too often.
That's why when you go to these pot shops in Washington State or
anywhere that to have them. It's filled with old ladies. It's not
filled with a bunch of stoners. They buy a couple of they buy
the buds, you know a little box or little vial of Bud and they
take one hit and they're done. And then that can last months
but now these old ladies by this mostly these are solves you grew
up on yourself. Anyway, onward. Yes. In keeping with Adams
desire to hear about people whose lives have been changed by
your program. Please know that I've been homebound for five
years from severe nerve damage to my feet likely caused by 35
years of active walking in run into much. I found your show

to maintain my sanity through some difficult days. Not
whining, just letting you know how valuable your show is for
me. I and my sweetheart Gracie. Look forward to another decade

everything for the better. I'm a dad of teenage twins and I'd
like to solicit some information advice. I'm unhappy with most of
their public schooling, but I cannot pull them out to
homeschool. Yes. Well it's too bad but you know you could hear
it's not impossible to D brainwash them takes did I have
the clip here of that? I'm not gonna play it now but wondering.
I have another another combo clip this Heiser I swear by
woman. Oh, you play the movie? Is or be put out? Yeah, yes. I
see. We'll play that right after the segment.
Yeah. Do you want to listen to this? It was not going to make
any happier but not homeschooling. John mentioned
that the civics is not taught in schools anymore. Can you
recommend a text I could read teach them with? I was to do
some ancillary tutoring. I purchased tragedy and hope for
when they get the deeper into the world history. But I
it's so like some light reading for the kids. Yes, it was 1000
pages,
something like that. It's like or at least minimum. But I
haven't even made a dent in that massive book.
If you want the unabridged version, by the way. We've
discussed this.
That's right. It's a bit it's actually a controversy. Yeah.
Are you? Yeah, it's one I have. Are there other books or
subjects you could point me towards? I want to make sure I
raise critical thinkers who have an actual understanding of how
our country and the world works. I
think Mel Brooks history of the world is a fabulous movie to
show to the kids.
I have in which I saw I was watching the producers again.
Wow. Great. Unbelievable. The original with zero most Stell
was never topped. I have looked through and read some of the
books in the NA books clubs site, but I haven't seen
anything. I'm glad I'm asking. I like yes, I do. Have my kids
listen to you guys when I get a chance. Good. They haven't fully

biggest baby news. This is my favorite baby of all. And now
back to real.
You've got karma
you know, I'll explain why that happens is now that everything
is in the database it's kind of sucks actually. The database is
picking up i the ID three tags, and not just the title because
it just used to look at the the file name. And now it's picking
up tags. So when people put tags in a clip they send us sometimes
it's confusing. Sometimes it says something completely
incorrect. So I've been methodically changing all these
tags as we go along. So
you write a script and take all the tags, because you have a
good idea. Does anyone have that for me?
I'm sure that we have enough dudes named Ben write down what
database you're using. They could find a way of
great, great idea, a script or TA Why didn't I think of that
script? A script? A batch file, bat, just run at the baby

2025 Uh, hey, gents, has been a crappy holiday season. My sister
adopted her first rescue top, which is now two years old. Last
Christmas. It started to have a full on grand mal seizures. I
had a dog with epilepsy. I was wanting to date I don't it's
not. I don't know what triggers is that problem you never figure
it out. It was one at a time. vets have been trying to control
them over the last year or two varying level of success. My dog
only had a fit about once every three or four months. Did the
dog fall down?
Yeah,
they fall down and they wiggle. Ah, sad. It's kind of pathetic.
Drool.
You know what they know the dog needs. CBD.
CBD. Maybe we'll fix it. Yeah, maybe dogs did. A bad Yes,
it'll fix that too. After
about six good months this week was a very bad week. Doctors and
neurologists are running out of options animals are my sister's
passion. I would like to spread home some holiday cheer and
request a double shot of karma for her and her dog if you don't
mind keeping up to great Keep up the great work love the humor
and analysis you guys bring? I think did the dog they should
try CBD underdog status. This guy's anonymous. I don't know

doubleshot Do you want?
CBD is specific for these types of things?
For seizures? Yeah.
Yeah, a lot of kids been lives have been saved.
Yes. Let me read this one. I know this guy. Roderick Veilleux
is very famous in Holland. He is a television host a news. He's a
journal, a journal Financial News Journal. I've known him for
over 30 years. Dear Adam and John Davies from Amsterdam
enjoying the no agenda show twice a week in my car or at
home Hi time to donate again. I'm a giorno myself there he
goes. With one foot in the M five M and the other in the
alternative media big thing in Holland today is government
action to fight quote fake news by appointments with FB Facebook
and Twitter. Government suggests a permit system for those
companies to stimulate fair reporting here you go licensing
heartbreaking to see how some colleagues approve of these
governmental actions. They think the government is doing a noble
job by fake fighting fake news from Moscow. That leaves me
speechless. Really appreciate all the work you do you guys do
it's a lot of work great radio as well love the old universal
sound but Adam gets the quality back I'm convinced. Does that
mean oh he likes Okay, so it's the new the new window sound. He
likes the new window. So he loved the old sound. But Adam
gets the quality back I'm convinced. So maybe it sucks. I
don't know. Maybe
vague so he did write journal. He's made it very unclear.
Kind regards. rosenheck sailo. Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I
worked with him at Radio decibel the pirate radio station.
Oh really goes to that far back far back. Yes.
I'm gonna give him I'm gonna give him a service. Good Karma.
Thanks for all.
You've got
nice to hear from it's fun. Yeah. From the end. Yeah, he's a
respected News Journal.
Helen Helen Trejo 200 bucks Parts Unknown USA let me be sure
we get this is a holiday and birthday donation for David Ray,
Arielle and right what do you what do
you think relevance? Relevance is a relevance. I would say
David, our relevance or our revenue or Atlanta, aloneness
ever Alana so kind of go there? I rely on us.
His birthday is on December 26. Do we have him on the birthday
list? Sure. Yep. I am so happy to spend the holidays together
with him and celebrate 6.5 years together excellent research and
analysis on the education system pushing a global perspective.
And we do have a clip coming. Yes, we do. Second person that
needs this. I noticed during my last five years at an Ivy League
for an Ivy League school for an Ivy League for grad school not
sure how that's put together. Looking forward to more no
agenda in 2018. Helen. Okay, give her a karma. Yes,
I'd love to thank you very much. Hello.
You've got karma.
That was a very good list of people that helped us produce
with executive producing and associate executive producing
show 994 We got six to
go t minus six and the big one case show 1000 episodes
protecting no guarding your reality. The best podcast
reality guarding your reality.
No guarding reality, we're just starting. They're just reality.
Because their reality could be very could vary in some small
way
regarding actual reality.
Yes, that's a nice,
no and no license required. Yet, can you believe that? The
Netherland and that all journals are face it face it. So it's
gonna be a certificate, you know, what's next? Ah, I just
realized how it's going to work. The HTTPS anywhere certificates.
They are going to be attached to this. So if if you are not
sanctioned, if you're not certified, I love the certified
cert cert certification, this you know the cert for your your
server, then you will not receive the proper certification
the browser just like it does. Now when you're not HTTPS
Everywhere compliant, the browser will then alert you that
this certificate is not a fake news friendly, fake news
unfriendly certificate. How about that?
Well, yes. And I think that'll count for about 90% of it. And
then it'll be black site browsers that are specific to
everything else, but the people who know there'll be convinced
Since the public will be convinced that these are unsafe,
and only a few dudes name ban, and maybe most of our listeners
will use these browsers to go in other places, but there'll be
10% Max, because everyone's gonna be afraid. Oh, God, I
don't know if bad things are gonna happen
even downloading the illegal browser?
Yeah, that could be a problem. You're gonna have to go through
proxies or somebody had to go to Mexico through a proxy to
download it. Who knows?
I say this, because this morning, our cert expired for no
agenda social.com. And these days, certainly I only checked
it on the Chrome browser. When you It no longer does. It says
this is danger. You can hit advanced like, Oh, let me hit
advanced and just say I trust it. You can't do that anymore.
On Chrome. You can no longer say I trusted anyway, let me go. It
just says nope, can't do it. Watch. Yep.
That's deplorable. swears the free and open Internet.
This is net neutrality. It's fine as John, you will conform.
It has that net neutrality. Anyway, you already pointed this
out the ludicrous aspect of Google and who's a Google and
somebody else going back and forth? Not running it Amazon?
Not running Aegis.
Right. Yeah. So according to the troll room, all all browsers now
do this, which means Safari Firefox edge. Gee,
what about the other cup? There's a couple of other, what
about the Tor browser?
And but that's only for Tor?
No, they there's other things you can do with it?
I've long said we need a true. I mean, if that was what Firefox
was supposed to be is just have a true browser for the people.
And you know, they went and they took money from mainly Google,
as far as I know. They're their main sponsor. Yeah. But they
were for a while. And they did all the toolbar stuff, which was
nefarious. I know. But I don't see it happening. Because
there's no reward. We have lots of open source products. And of
course, you don't have to email me I'm sure there's tons of open
source browsers that are great, but they will get no adoption.
That's the way it works.
It's the way it's designed to work.
Now this program is designed to work in the way that we bring
you value, you evaluate it, you listen to the show, that was
worth something to me. Two hours, three hours, however much
time we entertained you, however, we got you through your
morning commute, please send us some value in return. It works
with all kinds of contributions to the production of the show.
But obviously we need money to continue and we would appreciate
you thinking about us for our show coming up on Sunday for
red.org/n A and remember your special oops, wrong one. How the
hell did that happen? Oh, shut I'm gonna mess today. Damn it.
Come on. Why isn't it playing? What the hell?
Oh, you're looking for the Yeah, this is gonna be
today's Hold on. Here we go. There you go. What I was going
to say is remember to trigger Millennials with a formula
formula is this. We go out we hit people in the mouth You
know, when you're talking to no agenda listeners, longtime short
time, whatever. They actually use the reference. Oh, my
husband hit me in the mouth. Yes. I guess my husband hit me
in about six months ago. That's when I started listening. Or I
hit I hit my husband in the mouth. Yes. Cracks me up.
It's on our night. Oh, it's on our night rings. Yeah, isn't it?
I'm in the mouth on the night.
In Latin. So let's play the iser by is, is or be whatever. Bloom
and fix Belize. This is one of the clips from one of her. She's
all people can look her up on YouTube.
She wrote the book, the deliberate dumbing down of
American education, right which
has been repressed and she you can read her book you can listen
to her talk. She's kind of entertaining. She's a little a
little serious. But this is a this is a good little clip,
constant training, read sensitivity training break their
values. Right? No, right? No wrong. You've got to have all
religions represented. So you know, tolerant of everything.
And because that's the New World Order. Disorder. Excuse me.
Professor Benjamin Bloom is probably the most important
behavioral psychologist ever to live. I mean, maybe not quite as
much as Pavlov, and Skinner but he really implemented the system
in education in the United States. And he was the thought
the author of the taxonomy of educational objectives. I know
that doesn't mean much does that means a lot to teachers, they
know all teachers have to go through that Bloom's taxonomy.
And just to give you an idea of how blatant they are, Benjamin
Bloom said the purpose of education, and often says,
parents really listen to us. You think the purpose of education
is reading, writing and arithmetic? The purpose of
education is to change the thoughts, actions and feelings
of students. And then he goes on, and he says, he defines good
teaching. And this is even worse from the parental standpoint, as
challenging the students fixed
beliefs. Hmm. Okay,
and that's what they do. They challenge the fixed beliefs. She
goes on to talk about how he she's seen him in a one on one
situation, turn a religious person within five minutes. I
challenge you guys to do things. One of the things is challenging
is somebody's got to fix belief you don't like it, you're
challenged and challenged, and you have more tools at your
disposal to change their mind than they do to change your mind
because they're kids. And she says she's watched the kid turn
into an atheist in less than five minutes who was a
religious, Catholic or what? Yeah, the guy's really good.
Cheese. That's more like hypnosis. Almost. It seems if
you can do it in five minutes,
persuasion, I think when Scott Adams talks about, yes,
persuasion about hypnotic tricks used to persuade. Yeah, I think
that's what we're dealing with here. But this guy, so you know,
he's pretty much trained the whole education system to be
this way, which is to change you got a kid is, you know, raised a
certain way. I mean, this is why the Amish and some of these
others
don't want yeah, they don't want any electronics. No, no, no one
Anyone,
anyone near their kids, right? And then the kid can make a
decision and many have a lot of money successfully, because it's
kind of just such a radical difference, to go into the real
world or the other world and get a job or do work there. And a
lot of there's some towns where there's a lot of small
businesses that have a lot of Amish employees. And they're
great furniture makers and and the kids sometimes can get you
know, fall in love with a with an outsider. And digital has
very, you know, works doesn't work so much. Depending on the
family background, the kid whether the kid can handle it is
a lot of how
about the music they listen to? How about those influences? I
mean, this is big stuff.
The kids yeah, yeah, I agree. A couple of kids
go ahead and the black community's got like a different
set of music that they listen to
load. I'd say white girls are listening to the same music as
the black community. I don't see any difference there. Now, maybe
there were a couple of kids in Jutland woodland, who designed
the experiment. They took cress seeds set like watercress seeds,
I guess. They took 400 seeds separated them out across 12
different trays, six of the trays were placed in two rooms.
Both rooms were kept at the same temperature, both sets of trays
were given the same amount of water and access to sunlight
throughout the experiment. The difference between the two rooms
was in one room, they were placed next to two Wi Fi
routers. And the other room was not next to Wi Fi routers. In
fact, there was no Wi Fi and no cell phone anywhere near it.
After 12 days, and it's in the show notes. 994 dot no agenda
notes.com. Do you see the difference? If this is true, I
have no reason to believe it isn't. The Wi Fi router. The
seeds are destroyed. They're dead. They just look like brown
and poop or dead ants really
quite telling.
And it's hurting it's well it's not like we didn't know it. But
it's, you know, start with this for your kids. Take the cell
phone away at night don't put it next to their bed.
Well, we're starting to get reports on this. People
shouldn't be using the phone so much or they should use they
shouldn't have the sheet of headphones or they should use
what
the claim is it just destroys your DNA. I thought that only
happened when you went to the airport scanner.
Well, the new airport scanner which is a miller wave. I don't
think it really has much of an effect on you. I don't know it's
a nice study, but they don't want to study it because
everyone's too much money involved. Oh my god, we're gonna
be out of business and somebody finds out we're killing people.
Anyway, okay. Onward. Yes. Onward to less depressing
topics.
Oh, okay. Then we might as well shut the show down right now. I
have nothing but depressing topics. I So you know I got some
fun topics. You probably heard this happened over the Christmas
break a gift
wrapped package of horse manure delivered to the LA home of US
Treasury Secretary Stephen Venusian over the weekend. While
this man claims he did it. 45 year old Robert Strong a
psychologist for the Los Angeles County Public Health Department
told Reuters on Monday, he left the poop build parcel address
diminution and President Donald Trump to protest the federal tax
overhaul signed into law last week, which he believes will
hurt poor people. He left it in the driveway outside the
nation's home in the posh Bel Air neighborhood, causing a
lockdown that required the LAPD bomb squad to come X ray and
later open the package. Neither the US Secret Service nor the
LAPD would confirm strong was the culprit. The Secret Service
interviewed a person who admitted delivering the package
but no charges had been filed against him as of Monday
afternoon, strong posted a photo of the card on Twitter it read
misters minutia and Trump were returning the gift of the
Christmas tax bill. warmest wishes the American people
nice to know he's a psychologist working for the government. That
makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, what an idiot. I think they should throw the book at
him
is terrorism. Not terrorism.
Yeah, it is. I consider it terrorism. terrorizing the guy
who got it's like the you know, sending some crazy package
putting it on the porch. Yeah. Could have blown up is a shitty
form of terrorism.
Ah, there it is. Good one. I got a little fun quote from Bernie
Sanders. Complaining about the tax bill. I don't think you
realize himself how stupid he sounds because it now it's down
to we really have nothing left to say. And again, I have no
idea if this is going to work. And I know that it certainly
worked for the Christmas holiday. Seems like spending was
up despite crap weather or point 9%. And oh, that's that's that's
that's a big deal, isn't it? It's almost 4% Yeah, that's
pretty good.
No, 4.9% Point.
Point. Oh, geez. That's much better than I thought. As you
pointed out, the oh, they're making him just temporary. These
tax cuts. It's a scam. Yeah.
But that's good until 2025 2025. And
then it can sunset but it's a scam.
Probably won't, because nobody likes to take tax cuts away.
Let's listen to his bit here with Jake Tapper. Next year
91% of middle income Americans will receive a tax cut. Isn't
that a good thing? Yeah,
it is a very good thing. And that's why we should have made
the tax breaks for the middle class permanent. But what the
Republicans did is made the tax breaks for corporations
permanent, faster tax breaks for the middle class temporary. And
according to the Tax Policy Center, that same organization,
at the end of 10 years, 83% of the benefits go to the top
1% 60% of the benefits go to the top 1/10 of 1%. Meanwhile, at
the end of 10 years, well over 80 million Americans will be
paying more in taxes. 13 million Americans as a result of this
legislation are gonna lose their health insurance, health care
premiums are going up. We got a $1.4 trillion deficit as a
result of this bill. And Paul Ryan is going around saying, Oh,
we have to offset that deficit by cutting Social Security,
Medicare and Medicaid to answer your questions. Should we have
focused on the needs of the middle class? We should have.
But the bulk of the benefits in this legislation go to large,
profitable corporations and to millionaires and billionaires.
Yes,
we screw everybody else.
Well, of course, he's, he's nuts. And what most of what he
said is bullcrap. But
moreover, 2025. So let's presume Trump oh,
by the way, if you say that, if he says we should have done
this, we shouldn't have let it sunset. Okay, fine. Then when
2520 25 comes along, if you did the Democrats, I was
gonna say 2020. If Trump gets reelected, he'll go through
2024 2025 to Republican terms, it's probably going to be a
Democrat.
Yeah. And so they can just put it back. And no one assuming
it's permanent can't be done.
I'm very curious to see how this works out. Well, the thing is
the cycle, you know, I'm a big fan of motorcycles. We've been
waiting for something to happen. Looking at the streets of
downtown Los Angeles, it seems like it's not things are not all
too rosy. No, they're terrible. Or any go look under any bridge
or overpass in America. Will this thing it could be a very
hard collapse. So what I'm thinking,
well, they're always different. That's the real problem with
predicting or understanding these things. Every time There's
a collapse it's always different there's some the triggering
mechanism is different what happens is different how it's
handled is different and this will be whatever it is going to
be different it could be the Bitcoin could trigger the whole
thing for all we know i mean you never just
yeah, if everyone loses their ass although I have to say the
only thing that I see with Bitcoin it is starting to level
out I mean we have kind of a consistent range that actually
makes it more attractive to be used as money but believe me the
government is not going to not going to go easy on you taking
your dollars and converting them into Bitcoin and vice versa.
No they killed their friend Qaddafi yep for the gold dinar
Yeah, cuz he was gonna do a gold dinar and that was that that's
one of our old no agenda theses and only old timers or know what
we're talking about. I says we're done but big corporations
taking everything and doing all the stuff I want. I have a
lighter clip. I want to just get out of the way. And then I have
a question for you. Okay, this is the singing flight attendant.
Okay, no other setup? No.
And the Southwest flight attendant getting national
attention tonight for a special serenade. Charlie's miles
belting out beautiful music at a Houston gate this weekend. A
student of music and a believer and its power Teresa she likes
to sing her way through Christmas.
Travel is clearly an audience sharees with 20 years on the
job. And we come back a different type of crime fighting
tool on patrol with the police who say the practice of
meditation is changing lives.
Stay with us. Okay, I
left that last part because it's funny. This is a quote kind of
just an open question. I've noticed this. How many companies
especially in the airline business would let and probably
encourage that woman and by the way, she was using one of those
microphones with the button and the curly thing hanging out the
bottom is a worst microphone you can imagine. My first Sony Yeah,
something like that in which she could get get through it. But
how many companies except for Southwest would ever allow this
that Southwest lets people do monologues and comedy. Yeah,
they do all this stuff. But this is all based on what PSA used to
allow they were all the same way PSA used to have a smiley face
painted onto onto airplanes. And they would let this go on these
other airlines will take hours to get a stick up their butt and
they wouldn't let anything like this happen. What is the deal? I
mean do you have what is the concept your you can let this
happen without it disrupting anything and in fact the
encourage it I think it's a very positive thing. It's
extremely positive I live we flew Southwest and I always
enjoy the the jokes the the Purser will make.
Yeah, the joke. Yeah. And yeah, and JB put the thing on your
mouth. But my my favorite for a child if he's acting like a
child. Yeah, so jokes are pretty much dead on public domain,
that or decide which child you want to has the best chance of
living put their mask on first. You know, that's what we used to
be. We become a whole bunch of politically correct dishes. But
when it happens in a, I think it's probably very specific to
the airline industry. You know, people are nervous, they, you
know, they like the idea of flying but they really don't
like the idea of flying. There's always a good something bad
happen. So there's a nervous energy, and it really breaks the
tension is the perfect environment. In fact, they
should just have stand up comedians and airplanes all the
time. Yeah, it makes people feel very comfortable.
Right, sit through a whole a couple of sets. Bring the guy
out. Start writing in the Tick Tock just do the whole flight
because they're short flights. Yeah. You know, do a whole hour.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Screw the in flight movie. Just just do a
set.
Well, luckily, Southwest has no inflight movies and never has
never will.
Well, they don't have inflight movies, but now you can connect
to their Wi Fi and stream TV for free.
Yes, yeah. Yeah. Have your own computer. Yeah,
pretty much everyone has that is true. Vanity Fair getting a lot
of heat for being a part of the liberal no more Clinton gang
that never never Hillary years. We don't really have the Never
Trump errs. Never Hillary's we don't have a word for to term.
Because nobody does it. Well, Vanity Fair released this
Christmas video it's time to start working on your sequel to
your book. What happened? What the hell happened?
Get someone in your tech staff to disable autofill on your
iPhone so that typing an F doesn't become form exploratory
committee for 2020.
You know on Anderson Cooper, you were telling him about alternate
nostril breathing. You seem really adept. You should try
teaching a class.
take more photos in the woods. How else are you going to meet
unsuspecting hikers? Take up a new hobby in the new year.
Volunteer work, knitting improv comedy, literally anything
that'll keep you from running again,
to finally put away your James Comey voodoo doll. Now we all
know you think that James Comey cost you the election and he
might have but so did a handful of other things. It's a year
later and time to move on. So cheers to you. Hillary Clinton.
Cheers to you, Hillary. Cheers to you, Hillary Clinton.
So on the face bag, there was quite the outrage about this.
How could you say this because the defense it's misogynistic to
say take up knitting.
You know, I know a lot of guys who knit?
My mom used to tell me that football players. She knew
football players who knitted.
Yeah. It's a form of meditation for some people. And it's very
healthy. I can knit I can do only one stitch but I can knit.
I actually would like I would if I don't know why. But I'm not
interested in learning. But I should because every once a
while your seat you're especially if you go to a
government office, you're sitting there, you can do some
reading, you can do different things you usually forget to
bring something up nowadays, you bring your cell phone, you read
the news, but sitting there and knitting is probably a better
use of your time very produced. cathartic, very suck.
But it was just interesting to see that was the main like, oh,
misogynistic talking about women knitting.
And a lot of women like to knit. Yeah, my condemning them,
because they have nothing else to condemn. There's just
dimension be stuff just going just going nuts. Yeah, it was
very, very tough for a couple of days on the face bag. New York
Times, though, made a great point about something that we've
always questioned. So in Alabama, we had this election.
And what was it 98% of all black men, black women came out to
vote
for Jones?
Yeah. Not not Jones, the other guy. Sorry. No, no, it was
Jones. Morris again, I hate it. Right.
So the New York Times. points out actually their headline is
black turnout in Alabama complicates debate on voting
laws. Alabama is one of the premier states where they have
voter ID and it's going to make it impossible for African
Americans to vote because they don't have a driver's license.
Don't know where to get a government ID. How does that
remind? I should remind everybody that we had a number
of clips of black. Somebody went on Ask black people about any of
these things. Were just because we're Black doesn't mean we
don't have driver's licenses. We drive. Yeah. What are they
talking about? What are you going? I'm sorry. Well, no,
that was it. I was excellent point. And it's it was nice to
see it from the New York Times. You know, it was Yes, exactly.
Where was the Alabama is a state that is? Has voter ID laws.
Yes. Target state for the Democrat. So how does that work?
You don't want voter ID because you can't run people through
twice or three times. That's what the Republicans would say.
In agreement
Yeah, yeah. Bill, he lives with me. I know he hasn't got a
driver's license or he doesn't have anything if I didn't have
he's just the guy. First Certificate No, nothing. All
right. What do we have here? Here? I got like a bunch of
short clips. I'm gonna do a clip blitz at the end. Okay. I do
have, we should do the weather report which is apparently
costing us money.
record cold temperatures dangerously cold windshield
value says the jet stream dives to the south air straight out of
the Arctic in place. With winter warnings and advisories up from
the Northern Plains stretching to New England we're talking

Even in the afternoon sub zero wind chill values will continue

back
to you. Oh, I missed the vortex word in that
report. Yeah, cuz there wasn't any.
I saw one yesterday. That show that was the vortex. Oh,
whatever that is.
Yeah. Cool. There. So I guess Erie, Pennsylvania, like six
feet. Nice. Yeah. So why Christmas, man? Well, hey, why
Christmas, Merry White Christmas. Had interestingly.
Which website was a government website? Oh, the Canadian
government website. I wish I had a clip. But it's horizons dot G
c.ca are in docked. Were indoctrinating the kids of
Scandinavia by saying because of global warming. Santa Claus
signed an international agreement to relocate his
workshop to the South Pole to escape the effects of manmade
global warming.
That is pathetic.
And this, and this is what's going on in schools to
that is pathetic.
Child abuse.
I agree. It is child abuse. All right, I got another one here,
then. This is a I don't have the whole I do have the whole thing
in the archive going up. We're not playing that. I just
archived it. This is that guy, Jerry Van Dyke. Who was who's,
uh, I believe us working for somebody. And this is only a
small snippet of who was I don't remember who wrote that book
about prison, the prison, the kidnapping networks and in the
Middle East, and he was kidnapped himself. And
oh, okay. Yes, yeah, we've we've discussed him recently. Yes, I
remember now.
Now he drops, it has a couple of things that this is only out of
the middle, I just took this segment, because there's two
things in here I wanted to note. One is that he has all the
characteristics of a spook. And the other end, he looks like
one, he's got the gray hair, everything. Perfect. And he has
two little things in here that I want to just discuss for a
second.
So I had another contract under through the Council on Foreign
Relations to trace all the various networks that emanate
from Pakistan, Yemen and Saudi Arabia with ISIS, because I am
in this unique position, because of my age and background. And
I'm not married, and I don't have children. And I still go
out and do this. With those men who were our allies who are
today, our enemies, whether they're in Yemen, whether
they're in Egypt, or whether in Pakistan, and hence. And that's
what I was doing. And I went back to Pakistan, I went back
after Steven Sotloff was murdered. I secretly went back
to Afghanistan, frightened that when I soon as I entered the
country and went to the airport that my name was on a list
because the jailer said, we're not going to let the bird out of
the cage the second time. And that, you know, the Taliban just
don't wear beards and black turbans. They're clean shaven,
and they're everywhere, very sophisticated operation. And I
went to see my friend who I thought was that I had, because
of my relationship to him, and that I had been kidnapped. And
he, we sat in hotel, and I told him the whole story. He said,
No, and he said, it's this. And he told me it's 180 degrees
different. And my advice to you is to leave very soon because
what you are involved in here is something much greater than
yourself, and it's far too dangerous and you must leave. So
the next day, I went to see the former head of the NDS, which is
the combination CIA FBI. Okay.
Okay, first of all, he's being hired to do spook work for the
Council on
Foreign Relations. That was nice, nice little additional bit
he had he
dropped a lot of little things, then these shouldn't be should
be taken out of thought of off the circuits. He he also
mentioned an MI six officers going on and on and on until he
says she, you realize he's talking to some female anyway,
six. But the one that got me more than even the Council on
Foreign Relations thing was the n d s con.
Yeah, what is National Defense say?
You tell me, I went out of my way to look at for any reference
to this operation is a combination of CIA, FBI, which
again, which kind of puts me in the mood of thinking of the
Trump situation to the CIA trying to screw him with all
these leaks, and the FBI going after him and I would say that
it sounds like they're in coats.
Well, I just blanked it because as you know, we bring it here
being it di o ndS stands for National Directorate of secure
At the primary intelligence agency of the Islamic Republic
of if God Afghanistan.
I don't believe that's what he's talking about. Whoa, okay.
would make sense that there's a bunch of CIA spooks involved in
it? Yeah, yes, it would. I'm trying to think,
maybe, but he's where's he mentioned the FBI.
I was just looking at the Wikipedia entry. Could be
unless the FBI is mentioned, I'm not buying it. Let me says
you're seeing what he's talking about. He says it was a
combination of FBI CIA, which I didn't know existed.
And they also makes no sense for those to be a combo unless
somehow they've come? Well, we do
know that the FBI is often involved in overseas
investigations. The FBI came in to look at the bombing
situation.
There's hundreds of FBI agents in Amsterdam, just sitting down
to do an FBI work in Amsterdam.
Yes. When did the FBI become an international agency?
When all oversight was lost, and they can do whatever the hell
they want, which seems to be happening, which makes me very
anxious.
Well, I don't know anything that you can't find much out about
this FBI, CIA, nds thing?
Well, for sure we have enough producers who might have this
information for us.
Well, I'm hoping that somebody does as well, I played the clip.
That's a good one. You know, I just caught me this whole the
entire interview with this character, which is available on
C span, if somebody wants to go track it down,
while we have it in the show notes, all 17 minutes of it.
It's quite interesting, because he, he's cut, you can see it.
He's constantly thinking about what he can and cannot say. And
so most of the interview is this. And he did go on for like
20 seconds, and then he'll say something. And so he's very
careful. But he's not so careful as not to kind of tell us that
the Council on Foreign Relations is hiring spooks. And yet
there's this operation called the NDS and that some of these
mi six people over here floating around are women.
Check this up. Okay. I found something here. This might this
might help us. The Taliban capture of kudos in 2015 was the
worst kind of intelligence failure. Where intelligence
cooperation among the NDS ndS National Security Agency of
Afghanistan, the NSA is what that is Ministry of Defense and
interior ministry was weak. This failure was because the security
alerts and intelligence reports regarding the Taliban's plan of
capturing the city were not taken seriously, but were simply
overlooked by the MO D and MLL. couldn't capture should not have
come as a surprise given the amount of territory the Taliban
was already controlling. Here. It is, however, couldn't is
rapid fall and slow recapture was an intelligence failure,
intelligence gathering, processing and analysis has been
a complicated problem, ever since the establishment of the
NDS with the assistance of the Central Intelligence Agency. Now
it doesn't explain how the FBI is involved.
I think that's the secret wonder if
you might be onto something with this might be the group he's
talking about. But I think it's a secret that the FBI has got
anything to do with this or anything for that matter going
on in Afghanistan and he he let it slide. Put it out there. We
picked it up nobody else will of course, and they I think
somebody screwed up and let this guy's let this information
escape.
I'm gonna listen to that whole thing. It's it's called what is
it called here? Yeah, Jerry Van Dyck all archive it'll be in the
show notes under the clips and Doc's definitely have a listen
to that. That's interesting. I like that. Are you familiar with
the been OMA the country have been Oma? No. Well, neither is
Nikki Haley of
well told blamer
she now MSNBC am Joy Joy read.
As she knows
they're into trolling people. This is the new normal on MSNBC
this time around it was UN Ambassador Nikki Haley. She
reportedly got a call from a person she thought was the prime
minister of Poland who wanted to talk about elections in the
mystery nation of bonobo you know, be Noma.
Yes, yes.
Yes, yes, Ambassador Haley totally knows bonobo everyone
knows bonobo except there is no island of bonobo it does not
exist, but normal was not real. But we won't let that stop us
from rolling the tape. You know be no more.
Yes, yes.
They declared independence right. They they had elections
and we suppose Russian had its integration? Yes of course they
did. Absolutely. And now this bit normal land makes the
situation and then just South China Sea ever more tense
and we're aware of that we've been watching that very closely
and continue to watch that as we deal with the issues that keep
coming up about the South China Sea.
Yes, that's correct. That's correct. What should be done
because of this be normal.
Let me find out exactly what our stances on that and if What if
anything that US is doing or thinks should be done and I will
report back to you on that as well.
Just do one of those old shows. Remember? They? I guess it was
in the 70s? Mostly where you had these goofballs mostly DJs
calling people up with all the books
everybody wrote the prank phone call
famous prankster duo that put a number of albums out the Jerky
Boys the Jerky Boys know MSNBC MSNBC has become the jerky Jerky
Boys. Yeah good work in your reputation we got it out. I do
think it does bring out one thing which is and I think this
is the Trump administration's fault the the ease in which
people are lie she doesn't know what the fuck is going on. And
she says this is a ruin her reputation good. I never liked
this woman. And
she was put in that position because of her great view on the
New World Order. I think she was put in there to be destructive.
Well, good. If this she's that she but she's doing a poor job
at that even. I don't think she's doing a very good job. But
the fact that she'll just Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, sure. Just lie.
It's not. It's not even lying. It's because lying is something
that you do. I think overtly. She's just bullshitting. Crap is
what it
is crapping? Yeah. And you could go grab a representative or
Senator pretend you're making a donation say you're from Binomo.
Then you'll get your the call will be taken. Yes, in fact, you
that's something our producers can work on. But before Sunday,
call Maxine Waters about a big donation from the country bonobo
and you'll you'll fool her. You'll get her on the phone.
To some one of our producers send in a note saying that
somebody I know is on Twitter. Somebody meant Maxine Waters, or
saw Maxine Waters having a hissy fit on an airplane. Because you
know something was no no, no, no, no, no, no, no one knows
that.
This is such a dumb story at this why I would not bring it
up. It was Sheila Jackson Lee. Ah, right. Yeah. And it was a
woman who had a first class. See, the airline says it was
canceled. So she got an economy plus seat. And then Sheila
Jackson Lee was in her seat. And she says, Ah, this is and I
think the problem is that Sheila Jackson Lee then said, You're a
racist. Which is kind of a go to, I guess. Sure. I would hear
raises. But when you read between, I'd really don't care
about the story. I'm sure I'm sure it's just a mess. Stuff
happens with airlines. Fine. But when you read that, Sheila
Jackson Lee is escorted to her seat by a special gate attendant
so she can you know, settling comfortably. And come on.
So I have a letter here from
I don't know what his name is, I think is his Jackson but he
called he says he likes accounts of Jack King. So he's probably a
character. But he did say something which I started
thinking about because we were told that we talked to the story
up, it was one on one of the major networks they played this
story and then I started thinking about you know, when I
was at MI vo they every every day is a matter of fact, at
noon, a siren would go off. In old Civil Defense siren they use
this kind of a clock and every new thing would start making a
racket. Love the show you keep me saying he writes a couple of
weeks behind on the shows if you've already been corrected
this please disregard late in show 987 You played a clip about
Hawaii sounding as air raid sirens also known as a civil
defense warning system for the first time since the Cold War.
And then we attributed this to their freaky about North Korea,
and I'm not sure where this report came from, but it is
bullcrap. This system is used for air raids, tsunamis and
hurricanes and is tested on the first Monday of the month, every
month for at least the last 30 years. I grew up in Hawaii. And
as kids, we would have to do drills every month in school
where we'd hide under our desk for an air raid or run to the
mountains for a tsunami. If this is not a not as a test, but
because it was an incoming attack maybe it would have been
a first since the war however, as a test is simply not true
what was presented on the by the news network, and I thought
about it and I said I obvious this was going on somebody saw
this created a bogus fake news report. And we played it. We
played it straight up as as if it was a fact. Should we
want to find that if you can find it, or is it Hawaii or
would you have titled that?
Hawaii air raid or rice? It'd be light or siren?
Yeah, no, it's actually Hawaiian air raid all the word. All the
word.
Alright, I'll alert
across Hawaii today a blast from the past. Warning warning sirens
in paradise they blared in Hawaiian cities and villages.
For the first time since the end of the Cold War. It was just a
test in response to the threat of an attack from North Korea.
Now there you go.
Yeah, yeah, fake man. And that was CBS network news.
Nice.
So there you have it.
All right. Before we get into our our second Thank you
segment. It's finally happening. I have warned for this. Now it's
an Ad Week big news. And it actually started with Ozzy or
Ozy. What is it? Oh, z y, who I hate with a passion. This is
Rosie. Why? So if you go to zy.com, that says it's a new
site, but they do profiles. And they raised $35 million for this
news profile site. And why I don't like them is they have
professional journals. I got a call professional. I think we
talked about this. Maybe a professional journal. It's like
I want to interview you profile, do profile. I don't usually do
that stuff. But they seem to have profiles of important
people. So I'm flattered.
Again, looking at it. Now. I will say this. I've never seen
this site before they get good. 35 million. Maybe they should
put a little into maybe advertise
Oh, well, that's interesting. You bring this up. Turns out
that a number of advertisers are very disappointed with the bots
clicking on videos that they are paying to advertise on Ozzy. And
I just want to say their business model works as
following. They interview somebody and you think okay,
it's great, but my interview will be published. No, no. When
there's news about you, then we'll put that up. I go, Well,
why didn't you tell me that in the first place? Because a guy
said, Hey, When is this gonna go up? No, no. So when there's
something notable about you, then we have the profile, then
we put it up? Who says bullshit and your ad? And I feel very
insulted that you did this.
You've been interviewed by these guys. Yes. Yeah. When was this?
Probably a year, a year ago, maybe a year and a half and
never never published? It's never been published.
Now so you just were used I have
to die if I die that oh, look, we have an article. We'll put
this up.
But that's a very interesting scheme. So they
claim 40 million people a month. Come to their site. Bull crap.
Yeah, exactly. It's more like a million and a half. But they
charging
I doubt that too low. Now you could get to a million you get
to
but Ozzy is defending this by saying well, when we purchased
this audience traffic we thought it would all be you know, real
people that just let that sink in for a second. Their
purchasing traffic to their website, which is not, you know,
this is not your your typically qualified person who you want to
consume your ads. Now, Procter and Gamble, Bank of America,
Unilever, they're all saying, wait a minute, this is bullcrap.
We want more transparency, and you
and your money back is what they should say.
Well, they're gonna, they're going to stop spending.
Yes, stopping spending is not the same as getting ripped off,
right.
But it's This is now this is real, I think it's been the big
secret we knew it. It's one of the reasons I didn't want to
continue. My own company, is the concept of arbitrage is very
simple. There's many companies like I think one is called
monopoly Inc, or something or monopoly LLC. And you can buy
clicks and video views from them. And you purchase it the
same way as a purchase, you buy it on a CPM basis cost per 1000.
And it's an in this case, it's, it's clicks. So if someone
watched someone, quote, unquote, watches the video, and as 1000
of them, you'll pay $5, you turn around and you sell that
traffic, those so called eyeballs to the advertising
network, or the direct to like a BMW, which is a case I happen to
know. And you sell it for $7 per 1000. And then you have four
more and some solutions are Yes. And then you take that little
piece in the middle, you make shit content from it, and you
take your profit. And that's how all of them are operating. And
it happens most of the end of a quarter, when someone's getting
ready to do a round of financing. You just go out you
buy some traffic, you show the numbers. Oh, there I am is
beautiful. And it's a huge, huge scam. And eventually everybody
does it. That's why our model guess does has nothing to do
with any of that stuff. We are the most moved by donation to
know agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh,
yeah, that'd be fun.
The queue was we don't do any of that stuff.
That would have been perfect. Yeah. Well, I was gonna make it
even more elaborate more interesting. But you stepped all
over me with the Get me right into the tank. And I'm so sorry.
But you're right. It would have been, but I wasn't, you know,
hit. The funny thing was I thought we'd actually have a
discussion. Oh, you want to discuss it now, though? No, no,
we don't need to discuss it. I think you made your point. And I
say you make this point a lot. And I think it's a good point to
be made. Because you have to realize that a lot of these
operations out there are not like us, we get direct. We get
our money directly from the listener. And the producers, as
it were, it's the value for value and so we can pitch about
all this other stuff. That's a scam. Yes. Well, I'm sorry that
you wasted your time.
Well, when I'm dead, they'll publish it. It'll be groovy.
Yeah, okay, well,
I'm guessing that they're going to be dead before you are. And
they'll never publish it. Let's start thanking a few people
starting with David Foucault's zotoh. Who says, if we're

Tanner in Whittier, California 686666. Then we have have David
Lane 606 Ah, okay, when they will guide I'm going to stop
here because this is also what we got here from gets we had an
808 and a 606. From Brandon Turner. Okay, he also sent me a
nixie tube clock. Yeah, you want to
Yes. Now are those are those original old tubes in there? Or
how was that or those new? I think
they're new tubes because the two is an upside down the fives
and upside down to
just explain this, this clock. Okay, there's
a Nixie tubes are these old fashioned displays that go back
for wherever they're very valuable nowadays.
I think I had them in school for the school clock at one point
maybe could be. And he's been brand is Sir peep slayers. Who
it is he, which is what I put on the thing I know, I put it on
there. I'm gonna ask York what happened? He made these clocks
out of this. I can't I've gotten kind of close to setting it. But
it's like a programmable thing that had
the exact same problem like, like, Oh, let me just set it and
like, Okay, I'll do that tomorrow after the show. That's
gonna take a little time.
It's gonna take forever, because when he tells these
instructions, he's got a whole page of instructions that don't
make any sense at all. And so I have to ask him, he's gonna have
to get us on the phone, you and me separately to set the clock.
I mean, I followed the instructions. I read I spent
about an hour trying to set the clock but you do it you push
down and then the China thing is starting to flash and you push
the other button. It wouldn't go past 10 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Or just
start doing Yeah. Or which set start setting the other side.
But once once it's working, it's a beautiful piece. I really like
it. Well, I
got it was in six minutes, but then I'm afraid to touch it now.
Right.
I got a note from Harper. Yeah, his kid. Yeah. Merry Christmas.
Adam, can you play ants from Harper? Dun dun and to show
song. Yeah.
So we had anyway, that was
not it was a great gift. I appreciate it. I
love the thing. It's beautiful. But setting it. It needs a
technical writer who knows how to do instructions. That's all I
have to say. All right. All right. Where was I was at the
last one. Okay, we have to Sir Patrick Coble, out there in
Tennessee. 5995. He says, I'm donating to each show until
then. $5 for show 995 last 2017 for the face bag users. I'm

going to call Eric. He said in 5555 or denote the device the
other two guys are accounted for. Yes. David Randall lane is
the guy who sent it to me. You can see it David Randall Lane
comes in twice at 808 and 606 with a small boob. Or you could
say it's like different size boobs on either side. Yeah, like
most women, like women with no implants. The I would agree with
that. Everybody guys notices that most women are a little
lopsided. Yeah, this is fine to use that word. And there's some
women that do have true breasts that are not very unusual. Yes.

important report. Since I've been following this and I have
standing in the area. The war on weed continues. After we heard
this, well, I thought was a very bogus report. from Gitmo nation
GMT about Scrum it
you recall this report. People
recall this report this one I ignored it, kind of and I still
am ignoring it. So I can't remember what what it stands for
was in the Daily Mail, which is why which commenting and
screaming
the concept of the story is if you smoke a lot of weed, then
eventually you get this syndrome, which combines
screaming out for dear life and vomiting at the same time.
Yeah. Which, by the way. Don't
live in California, there's plenty of people that are
smoked. Do it too much.
Dude, you had a partner for 10 years who smokes too much weed.
What do you do? Yes. I've never had I've never had
this. It sounds like bull crap.
Well, it's come to the United States that small.
People who smoke marijuana find that long term use makes them
sick with this violent vomiting illness, and in California pot
will be fully legalized in July. So doctors they're worried that
they might see more cases of this mysterious syndrome.
Reporter Pauline, Bart Aloni has the story.
Marijuana has been legal for medical use in California for
longer than two decades. And as she'll find the LIN a queen
points out about her neighbors that are San Diego apartment
complex. Smoking pot is a way of life here.
Everybody here smokes smoke weed, smoke weed, smoke weed,
smoke weed
48 years old and says she's been smoking pot since she was a
teenager. She says it helps her deal with depression and
anxiety. But after five years of smoking all day, every day,
Queen started to get very ill
my first time that I was actually sick and couldn't stop
vomiting and in a great deal of pain, and hospitalized. I was
there for I think three or four days.
That scenario played out over and over again for almost two
decades.
You're out of your mind and pain. Like I've screamed out for
death. I've cried out for my mom who's been dead for 20 years,
mentally not realizing she can't come to me.
Queen and her health care providers never got to the
bottom of what was causing her vomiting episodes. She dropped
down to a frail 109 pounds and it was dismissed from a job.
I'm literally thinking I'm dying. I must have some sort of
cancer, something they can't detect.
Finally, a year and a half ago, an emergency physician gave her
something to read about a condition called cannabinoid
hyperemesis syndrome.
And that's when I Googled it. And that's when I figured it
out. People who
smoke cannabis Maybe doubtful that the drug is linked to the
strange vomiting illness. Truth is the medical community has
only recognized this syndrome for a little over a decade. A
Colorado study found the number of people with the symptoms
doubled when medical marijuana you searched.
This is something that we've been seeing for many years but
has really increased in frequency.
Dr. Amy Mulan works in the emergency department at UC Davis
Medical Center. She estimates she sees this syndrome every
other shift. She says it's frustrating because there's no
one remedy.
I'd have someone who was very distressed, intractable
vomiting, and I would give them my usual cocktail of medications
that almost always worked and it wouldn't work.
Doctors say these episodes are expensive. That's because to
rule out other medical problems, they have to order CAT scans and
lab tests. Mulan says even when she tells patients to lay off
the marijuana, they come back. A
lot of times they don't believe me, I think it's because it's
underrecognized syndrome. Marijuana is used for nausea.
And so it's difficult sometimes for people to make that leap of
regular heavy use can actually cause vomiting.
Back in San Diego, shall fantail and a queen says she's relieved
she finally got a diagnosis. She's back to a healthy weight
and hasn't been back to the hospital and a year, she's cut
down on our pot smoking, but not giving it up completely.
I don't want to discourage anybody from smoking weed or
whatever at all. I just want people to just be aware that it
exists. Now if I get sick, as sad as I'll be and as upset and
disappointed with myself as I be, at least it's a freaking
choice
Queen and the medical community same as marijuana laws loosen.
They want people to know about this syndrome. So they have that
choice too.
So I did research, by the
way was Hillary at her place? What was the deal with the
did sound like her, didn't it? You're right. I did some
research. And very interesting to me that this these symptoms
can indeed occur and appear to occur in people who use who are
Onix are a very high powered hormone replacement treatment.
And specifically that is the transgender community.
Ah, yeah,
and if you look at HRT and and THC that appears to be a
combination that can make you very, very ill and psychotic at
the same time. Now the woman who was speaking didn't sound to me
I can't tell I didn't see the video. I don't think she was
transgender thing. But this could be what's going on and
probably worse, if that's what you might want to taint your
weed supply with if you want to create some kind of Reefer
Madness problem.
Yes, well, I was suspicious the first time I heard this story
and thought they were putting in that heroin. Yeah. Yeah. Or the
others that the worst, right? Do you just die that you just die?
Yeah, you probably would just drop. Yeah, but I felt there was
some sort of contaminated weed. Oh, it's
definitely contaminated. But it did maybe with HRT, I don't know
if it's easy to just sprinkle it on or how that works. But for
sure, there's issue well, we got a lot of people who smoke weed
so someone will have some ideas.
Yeah, we probably do. Well, it's we're going to do I do have a
short three clip clip Blitz, one to a minute. 1234 I can do a
four clip. Blitz. No, no, I can only do three. No, we want to do
it.
Yeah, we can. I mean, do you don't want to hear any other
clips from me anything else that
No, no, I'm not ending the show. Okay, just doing clipless
Okay.
Library of Library of Congress and twits tweeted tweeters
Twitch
people knew this, but the Library of Congress began
archiving tweets seven years ago, every single tweet, but the
novelty has worn off, especially with 500 million new tweets each
day. So starting January 1, only tweets the agency deems
significant will be archived.
Oh, well, that's bogus. Ah, see, I knew that clip blitz wouldn't
get very far through. It is. It's a Wonderful Life movie for
all you FBI fans,
their classic film It's A Wonderful Life as a holiday
tradition for many families this time of year, but you may not
have known it was once considered communist. propaganda
by the FBI 1946 film stars Jimmy Stewart has a failed businessman
who was about to lose his loan company to a rich and greedy
banker. The bureau singled out the portrayal of the banker is a
common trick used by communists. It says the movie attempted to
show people who had money were mean and despicable characters
was deemed to be subversive but was allowed to keep playing
anyway. Blues,
vegetables and dementia
is great. But new health headlined tonight involving
vegetables and what your mother said, eating your vegetables
just might make your mind 11 years younger. That's according
to a new study showing that people who eat one to two
servings daily of leafy green vegetables like kale, lettuce,
or spinach have a slower rate of cognitive decline, potentially
staving off dementia. That new study published in the journal
Neurology
route 33. moves well that was actually it but let's play the A
and a fiasco and we'll talk about it. Okay, a
Next tonight the mid air security scare, raising serious
questions tonight, four hours into a Tokyo bound flight from
Los Angeles. The crew realizing a passenger had boarded the
wrong plane, the pilot than turning around supermodel
Christy Teegan. With Husband, musician John Legend. You see
them they're on board. They live tweeted the entire episode.
Passengers question back at LAX. And the FBI is now involved.
Those travelers re ticketed on a new flight that has just landed
and we're starting to hear from those passengers in Tokyo. But
how did this mix up happened in the first place? ABC senior
national correspondent Matt Gutman is that lax.
Tonight the FBI is investigating how a pair of brothers with a
single boarding pass got on flight 175 from Los Angeles to
Tokyo. The mistake only detected 2000 miles into the flight when
he headcount revealed the extra passenger you can see the flight
boomerang path, leaving lax at about noon and hooking right
back to LAX. Arriving just after 730 the old Nippon Airways
Flight sequestered in a secure part of the airport. They
discovered that a pair of brothers with nearly identical
names allegedly used the same boarding pass. One of them did
have a legitimate ticket for flight 175 while the other had a
real ticket to Tokyo also, but with a partner airline united.
Thank you so much for taking me on this awesome vacation.
Welcome to Los Angeles, one of the passengers on board a very
bemused supermodel Christy Tegid she was traveling with her
husband, John Legend, tweeting, why did we all get punished for
this one person's mistake? Why not just landed in Tokyo and
sent the other person back? How is this the better idea you ask?
We all have the same questions the airline partially answering
that question in a statement today. As part of the airline
security procedure, the pilot in command decided to return to the
originating airport where the passenger was disembarked.
Ultimately, it would cost passengers an extra eight hours
in the air and a total delay of over 15 hours.
People mostly tired and pretty angry.
pretty angry. Alright, let's get right out to Matt cup. And,
Matt, you mentioned those two brothers at the center of this
mix up. What's their status and are they to blame?
Well, they're certainly to blame. But the FBI, Tom hasn't
yet decided whether or not to press charges, but also facing
stiff questions will be the airline namely, how did it allow
a passenger with a duplicate border card to get on board? And
why was it an accurate headcount made until after the flight was
well underway? Ama could face significant fines, Tom.
All important questions still unanswered. All right, Matt.
Thanks so much.
Bullshit. Exactly.
No way. No way. Did they turn around because someone had the
wrong boarding pass? Ah,
I agree. And here's a couple of interesting little tidbits that
gave me that indicator. Besides the luckily they got the live
tweeting model. And her tweets are actually kind of funny. I
guess they had an internet connection on the point it was
good. Yeah, I read them was very cute. Yeah, they're very cute.
Now, a couple of things that I noticed one if you look for this
story, and Associated Press apparently did a version of the
story that no newspaper picked up on. In fact, if you bring it
our job googling using the news clip, the the news head where
you see news stories, all the news story, every one of the
stories that you see one after the other after they are all
broadcast stations. I thought that was weird. You think that
you know the Washington Post would have something about this?
Yeah. And then I tried to forget the name of these two guys,
which is now are unusual. They have names? No. You have their
names you can you tell me what their names are? No. No, you
won't even try try. Maybe there's it'll show up
eventually. And and then she made a good point on her tweets
is why are we going back? Why don't we just continue on to
Tokyo land there, then you kick the guy off or do whatever you
have to he had a ticket to Tokyo on United. And they are code
shares, as far as I know, at least that's what the report
said. To one digitally mon to play with me they have he's had
the extra seat. So this stinks. This was a test by the TSA or
some government group to see if they could do this to that
airline base. Probably the other one of the other airlines today.
These guys are lax.
My thought my thought was different. Okay, first of all,
why they were Chris had stiff questions for everybody. And
they interviewed people who are sitting around the passenger,
apparently. But how about this, maybe they didn't put enough
load enough fuel on board. There's something else. There is
something else and we're not totally being bullshitted. About
this.
We're totally being bullshit. I agree. Now, that fuel concept,
which I like that you mentioned, it doesn't necessarily it
doesn't immediately actually necessarily. That's backup. The
Japanese pilots are terrible. They're the ones who land in the
drink over here in San Francisco, they had this a
couple of races, man. They're terrible. They have all kinds of
issues on the different Japanese airlines and this was all
Nippon. And so it could be what you said could be correct.
That was my that was my first thought was oh, crap. We didn't
load enough fuel onboard. We're going to be an hour short.
Yeah, they could have glide. They were they were taking a
route that wasn't going over. So they couldn't land in Hawaii and
get some more fuel. Yeah. That's a possibility. I think it was a
test. Because if that is true about the two, why would they
have the two board different boarding passes? The whole thing
was sketchy. I mean, they don't tell us the names or the Arabs.
Or the the barcodes I mean, they have exactly the same barcodes
and therefore it registered. Okay. It just doesn't make a lot
of sense.
No, that doesn't make any sense. And that's one of the things the
model said. She says, What is it the machines it goes beep beep
it doesn't do anything. It doesn't check with anything just
beeps possibly go through. And it is possible because it's not
just like the button when you went cross the street on the
crosswalk. I'm pretty sure there's just two loose wires on
the other end. Just to keep the slaves busy that press this
while you're waiting stupid slave.
Yeah, well, whatever this was, this was something very phony
about the story and it's not going to get it, you're not
going to hear anything else about it.
Well, we have enough people in aviation that something might
leak out. And if it was, if it was a fuel issue, or some other
weight and balance or some could be a number of things, and I
didn't consider the Japanese pilots, you write
this suck.
So the who knows, but it
could be I still could be a test. How long is it gonna take
for them to figure this out? We'll put an extra guy on the
plane, right? And then what then what are they going to do? Are
they going to come back? Are they going? I mean, this really
does stink. So the story was, again, only broadcast as a TV
story.
That's right. And I love that that broadcast doesn't question
anything. Just Oh, that's that's what we got. Okay, that's fine.
It makes nothing but sense. Yeah, I don't know. I can't
think of a single instance when someone who was on board that
they turned around, certainly after four hours of flight time,
until we
have all these stories of remember this. All that? Yeah,
four hours cheese. And then four hours back. We have all these
stories about emember that woman that used to sneak on board
constantly flying all over the country? Yes, she was a stowaway
10 times and they were she was given a they were arrested her
never turned around. Never turned around. They always fluid
at the location and then put on another flight back. Yeah. If
she didn't get away with it, which he probably did a lot of
times. Yeah. So no, it is yeah, this is a bogus story.
It's clear that our producers have a lot of work to do before
Sunday. In the law. Yeah, they got to do a lot of stuff. I just
have one final one. I know a good pump and dump when I see
one. And I believe it has something to do with options.
Employees end of the year, whatever it is, the idea was and
I'm just look this is not stock advice. It's not stock advice,
but I believe this is a pump and dump story. shares

that consumers are bulking at the products high price and lack
of innovation.
One analysts I spoke to said don't get too worried just yet,
maybe the situation is actually weak demand for the iPhone
eight. Most of the parts between the iPhone 10 and iPhone eight
are the same. There's just two key parts that are unique to the
iPhone 10. Those two parts are an OLED screen and a 3d sensing
module that sort of provides augmented reality features and
other technology to the the iPhone 10. And in both of those
cases, this analyst who hasn't seen any production cuts, and to
him that suggests that iPhone 10 is doing just fine.
Apple has not publicly disclosed quarterly sales targets for the
latest iPhone, which went on sale in November. And Apple
representative said the company doesn't comment on market rumors
on a recent visit to China CEO Tim Cook said he couldn't be
happier with demand for the iPhone 10 in the country.
Of course, it's not a pump and dump. It's like a reverse
version of that. And I think that's what's going on. This is
total total bull crap. It's presented everywhere as Oh,
iPhone less less sales than expected. But the company didn't
put out any news themselves. It's just an analyst is sketchy.
And you know, you got your quarter coming up and you say,
Well, sure. Have we sold 60 million? There's no way that
they're going to be short. Certainly.
No, it's always better than expect Absolutely. The operative
phrase these guys know
how to do that. Apple knows how to underestimate ya know, maybe
still the stock still too high for the long term. I have I got
a few left but we're moving to the next show. I do want to at
least his one to one is timely. I want to catch up with the
Trump. Okay, and what's going on with the investigation. Here's
chip read on CBS kind of given it to Trump. There's a couple
moments in here where they they kind of like lets you make
assumptions that aren't true.
President Trump talked up the new tax cut today's he visited
firefighters in West Palm Beach, Florida. But based on recent
tweets, the Russia investigation is what's really weighing on his
mind. Chip Reid is traveling with the president
had nothing to do with Russia. Everybody knows that was a
Democrat hoax. It was an excuse for losing the election.
President Trump has rigged nice whipsaw, by the way. That's
fantastic. Oh, I did have no shame over there.
I have nothing to do with Russia. Everybody knows that was
a Democrat hoax. It was an excuse for losing the election.
President Trump has repeatedly condemned the investigation of
his campaign's contacts with Russia. In a tweet yesterday, he
once again attacked the FBI for its role calling the agency
tainted. But even before the investigation began, the US
intelligence community concluded that Russia did attempt to
influence the 2016 presidential election in President Trump's
favor. The question for special counsel Robert Mueller is
whether the Trump campaign or even the candidate himself
worked with or colluded with Russia in that effort.
There is absolutely no collusion
that Trump's lawyers predict the investigation will wrap up soon,
but many legal observers say Muller appears to be only in
round one. Two former staffers including former campaign
chairman Paul Manafort have been indicted and their trials are
months away. Two other former staffers, including former
National Security Adviser Michael Flynn have pled guilty.
Flynn admits he lied to the FBI. Yesterday, Flynn's brother
tweeted that the President should pardon Flynn earlier this
month. The President didn't rule it out. We'll see what happens.
But immediately afterward his attorney insisted there is no
consideration of pardoning Flynn. The White House
emphasizes that no one has been charged with or pled guilty to
working with Russia to influence the election. The question is
whether Muller is trying to squeeze them for information
indicated that they or others did. Recently, the President's
supporters have ratcheted up their attacks on Mueller. Some
have even gone after his staff claiming that they are mostly
anti Trump and some others have urged the president to fire
Muller but the president's attorney says there are no plans
to do that. He lane,
Chip read chip, thank you.
What a mess.
Couple of things. I liked the way he runs his kind of as
examples together. He says Flynn pled guilty and the way it's
structured as though he's like He pled guilty to what? It
doesn't say that he pled guilty to lying to the FBI. He says he
pled guilty and Ed and admits to lying to the FBI, but they never
said that the two are connected. Right? So you watching this Oh,
he's he's he's been guilty. He's guilty. Guilty guilty of
collusion? Yeah. Yeah. That's the first thing you assume is
CBS? Of course these guys know what they're doing. Yeah, that's
great. Yeah.
Also, he also says he also brings in that old bromide that
we have to keep debunking on this show, which is the intel
community already already. He says already, as those in the
past, already saw that Russia was trying to rig the elections.
And this is based on that stupid report that came out. That was
denied at first and then finally came out because somebody had
said it had to come out where you had the Homeland Security
and the CIA, and maybe nobody else was all
the all the intelligence agencies agree. Whereas it was
not true. It was really only clapper. Who agreed? Yeah, in
that report, yes. And another one of these bullcrap things
that is creeping in. I see I saw it over the over the break
everywhere. Yeah, Russia hacked the voting machines. Which is
patently it's just a false statement. The they're sorry for
using
that. Does that come up? Where does that even come from?
It comes from the port scan Port Scans on voter databases,
which they claim to do with rigging and to let them know
that it's trans This is now translated into Russia hack the
voting machines it's it's it's insane. I'm hearing it
everywhere. I'll do a collection of of people
saying this. Okay, I want that. That'd be great. Or collection.
Also, I have a great report for Sunday. A news report no less
from a news organization that will be out of business
eventually. Show showing the correlation between SSRIs other
big pharmaceutical drugs given to children and other people who
