It's scrumptious. Adam curry
Jhansi Dvorak and Sunday May 20 2018. This is your award
winning get my nation media assassination episode 1035 This
is no agenda, breaking down Evil Corp and broadcasting live from
the Capitol drone Star state here in downtown Austin Tejas
and the Claudio in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, we're doing the show
ATC. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Dragwon. Buzzkill.
I'm sorry, did you say at Z? Yeah. At z at the zone
after the Zephyr
Ah, I can't believe we missed the Zephyr we must be starting
late.
It was on time that Zephyr we weren't?
Yeah. Well, you can always count on some things you can't true.
Well, let's just start off with the most important news. Did you
see the Royal Wedding the British royal wedding. That must
be the most important news of the day?
Well, I definitely would definitely clogged up the news
channels. And I did get a bunch of clips.
And I went, Oh, I have I have two observations and no clips.
I got tons of clips and I gotta go but let me give you an idea
what my clips are like, so you'll understand where I'm
headed. Okay, how about let's doing the BR w which is British
Royal Wedding unintended consequences.
In this time of Brexit. The royal wedding is a windfall for
an economy that appears to be stagnating at present. And isn't
just Windsor here that's benefiting according to one
bridal website. During the wedding, there'll be 8000 street
parties up and down the country. But which 1.5 million cucumber
sandwiches will be devoured. So it's safe to say that this is a
moment of unrestrained joy in the British cucumber industry.
The British what? Cucumber Cucumber industry?
Yes. Observe windfall.
Wait, I gotta give you just to my observations. One.
There was normally when you have these processions in and I lived
in London, people are applauding there was a lot less applause
and I realized why these idiots were all holding up their cell
phones filming the procession.
Oh wow. That is an outstanding observation.
It was just like what this is not this is not normal. Well, it
is normal it's today's Yeah, it is today's normal. But holy moly
it's like that that is not what I am used to. I was very you're
right they always clapping their their clap clap but if you can't
clap and you can hold your cell phone up unless you got one of
those imagine you will who needs spy agencies anymore? All you
have to do is get a hold of all these videos you get there's no
way that Kennedy would have been assessed
I was just about to say he's improved her video is just so
outdated but that would To me that was like wow this you know
I've seen it when I went to the Tony Bennett concert with with
Tina. When he was playing here in town. It was the same thing
like cheese everyone's and they were filming the whole show. Now
in in that case there's probably no live television registration
of the event and I'm sure he doesn't give a crap anymore who
does what but for this it was one of the most covered events
of the world and can I just say what is up with all of the CNN
certainly CNN but all of the news douchebags they were all
dressed up like they were ready for Royal Ascot they had all of
their their groovy British outfits on and some of them you
know the dresses, I want to have a great dress I will over this.
I wonder if the IRS lets them deduct that from their
from their taxes that come out of wardrobe.
Yeah, no. Yeah. Right. They didn't have to pay for it
themselves. Alright, so that was that was my main observation is
G and what are these people going to do? They're going to
show it they're going to put it on the face bag or on Tweeter on
Instagram or whatever. I'm here I'm here oh so great. And then
that's and that's it is done. And then you spent all your time
looking at the little screen instead of the real thing.
If I this is always baffling to me. You know the looking at the
little screen instead of your right ear right there. What do
you take? You don't want rat rat rat. Okay, what am I talking
about? What is it please continue with your clips. I'm
glad you do but it was an
economic thing. That was interesting. And this was kind
of where I went with the cucumber thing of course.
Interesting. Let's play the BR Debbie economics one and hear
about it.
Not to mention in boardrooms around the country because the
numbers have slipped prize the experts, David Haig runs a
consultancy that specializes in estimating the worth of a brand
and evaluating intangible assets.
The reality is that since it was announced, there has been an
absolute frenzy. When we first looked at the impact of the
wedding on the UK economy, we estimated that it would have
about $700 million worth of beneficial effect. We have now
doubled that we think it's about $1.4 million.
Peak says that a considerable portion of those earnings will
come from tourism, about 50 million people visit the UK each
year. And Hague estimates of the wedding will draw in an
additional 350,000 tourists, each spending on average between
one and $2,000. This is music to the ears of Patricia Yates, who
heads visit Britain, the authority responsible for
marketing the country as it enters Brexit territory, we need
to make sure that people come now history and heritage will be
here in 10 years time. So I think the the attraction of an
event like this, it's about romance. And it brings that
royal story to a newer and younger audience. Who are the
people that are traveling worldwide?
So far this year is Britain's divorce from Europe approaches,
retail spending and consumer confidence has been jittery.
According to shopping expert Diane Wuerl who expects a
wedding related flip.
Retail is a very emotive sector, it relies on our emotions and
our wants and our feelgood factor. So what the Royal
Wedding does is create filters. And so as buoyancy to market
adds good feeling.
Yeah, I, to be perfectly honest, not for a second, did I think
about any of this about the economic effects, but that, of
course, is why you do this kind of thing.
Oh, yeah. And that's the rationale for the British
royalty. In fact, I think in clip two here, they mentioned
the amount of money that you have to maintain the royalties
$50 million a year, and they believe it brings in much more
in you know, these Gawker's and so they did it because there are
still people that are anti monarchism would just get rid of
the
but I know people who are anti monarchy and they love this
shit, and they're British. They said they can't get enough of
it.
It's the weirdest monarchy can you be?
It's the weirdest thing. Truly, like, the baby, what's the baby
going to be named all this is really important to them. And I
give them grace for that they can say whatever they want. And
let's play the pub part two of the same.
The fascination with the British upper crust is understood by
fiat money. Coots, daughter of an aristocratic family, famous
in the UK for being the royal bankers.
There's a huge amount of love for Harry. And I think for the
past few years, there's been a lot of pressure on Harry, When's
he going to settle down? Always the last of his friends to get
married? When's it going to be his turn? And I think that's why
there is such excitement that he's suddenly very clearly in
love completely head over heels with Megan. And, and so people
are just thrilled for them. They're just really, really
pleased and excited about the big day.
The festivities in Windsor outraged British Republicans,
who argued that the Maliki is a corrupt institution. The royal
family costs the taxpayer about $50 million a year. The
defenders claim the additional earnings they generate is a
compelling economic argument for sticking with the crown. For the
PBS NewsHour, I'm talking to Robin in Windsor. Okay,
compelling. I'm all in it's good.
I love Robin compelling. Picked up a couple of I got some of
this have to do with this one that kind of applies to you
since you'd live in England long enough to make a commentary on
this and you mentioned these friends of yours. Let's play
this one. This is a this is from a special that was done on kiss
this is very funny. Get PBS ran two hours with Meredith Vieira
and some British guidance three, three of the most kind of a
Burj, you know, these these followers of the monarchy and
biographers and these people that were experts upon
expertise, so upon expertise, and it was two hours a night a
whole week before the wedding on PBS, which I thought was very
fawning, but there was a lot of good information in there. And I
have a couple of clips I thought was very educational. But before
it played that I want to play this clip, which is the one of
these guys predicts that Megan in 30 years will be the first
American female president casually but he also talks about
a couple of other elements about what her life is going to be
like, Oh, who
married my son, she's an American actress. Oh, the real
challenge for Megan is actually living with British people the
different small, different things and I think that's gonna
be well the family. It's
not just British people the highway. It's probably quite
confident. I wonder
if they'll end up going and living in the States at some
point. Wow.
But not only that, you know, they could and she, she, I think
will retain her American citizenship. Yeah, I could see
30 years from now, being the first female president United
States. Well, you were right about Prince Charles. Wow.
Okay, hold on a second. A couple of things in there. So her dad
did not come to walk her down the aisle. And that is because
of health reasons was the official explanation. So Charles
did it. Now, though, I gotta step back for a second because
we have here a divorce a. She is
possibly according to the National Enquirer twice
divorced, possibly
a double divorcee? She's half black, so she's not pure. How
can this be that the British Royal Family is allowing this is
because they are modernizing? No, no, no, we must go back and
understand that. Charles Of course, it's not really Harry's
real dad. That would be James Hewitt. Wasn't he the stableboy
or something? And if you and if you look at the two side by
side, it's very obvious, then I am sure that is the Harry's
happy with that he's happy his real dad is alive. Who's this
guy this corpse walking down the aisle with his future bride. But
the thing is, because of that, and and the Royal Family knowing
it. This is not this is not going to corrupt any bloodline.
There's no royal bloodline in this union. And he was from
Diana and the stableboy or whatever James he would was I
forget. Maybe it was a guard or something I can't remember.
Doesn't matter. Megan is obviously not from royal blood.
So it's great. It's just a big promotion. Everybody, everybody
looks good. It doesn't it doesn't water down the bloodline
kind of everybody wins.
Right? They they need that debt, that bloodline to be boosted by
a multiracial person, but
he's okay. But he's never going to be I know he cannot. So it's
just it's so this is a it's easy for him.
It's easy, fine. Let's do this. Let's have a party. It's good
for business.
Well, the thing that was in this last clip I wanted to mention,
which was just they said her problem is going to be have to
is going to be living with British people. Yeah. Now I will
friend of mine with
shorts. The one commentator said she's living Royals is very
different. It's not the same as British behave. Ah,
yeah, well, there's probably, but I had we had a guy that was
from PC Magazine, and he was sent to England to edit PC, mag,
UK. I don't remember the circumstance. But he was moved
there for some reason. And it was about a year into it before
he started grousing about the British, to the point where he
just had to get out of there. And I met with him a couple of
times in England and he was me. He was just beside himself about
the horrible English people. And he just thought they were
I liked the British. I liked their culture, like the humor.
The two things that were difficult for me is I found that
Nick and pretty much impossible to do business with them. They
have they lie. I'm sorry, Brits. But in business, they lie all
the time. Which is kind of an odd, almost like an Asian
culture in a way save face. But the instead of not really saving
face it just lie. And that was that's my experience. I'm not
trying to generalize, but I'm going to do it from my
experience and be extremely racist. extremely racist. But I
love him.
The racism thing is is noticeable the lying thing may
account for some of the weird lying that takes place in former
British influence colonies. In the Indies, for example. That's,
that's where it comes from. I don't know not to mention, I
never even thought that the British and businesses lied.
They do. Yeah.
Yeah. Or the board
does explain a number of things to me in areas that were
influenced by the bread. And now it's
also made, maybe it's because I'm not in the club. Maybe it's
al it's screw the Yank. We'll do whatever we want. That's also
possible.
Yeah, but that doesn't negate a lying light lying is lying.
Yeah. But lying, whatever. There's a rationale for it.
That's, you know, you have a rationale for it, but it's still
same. But now let's now
let's go back to your original thesis, which I did try to
carefully propagate a little bit too much resistance. Because I
should just be happy for them is a possible marriage, a union
between CIA and MI six?
Yes. With Clooney showing up for good measure, just just oh, it
should have been ready for that one.
Right. Yeah. Because when I said that, like, oh, actually, what
happened is later I was like, Well, you know, she's really
smart. So yeah, look at school she's gone to Julie Jones
is a spy
as George Of course he shows up absolutely yeah, he's there.
He's got to represent the folk.
Yeah, there you go. You have one more clip or what does that
have? No, I have actually three more clips but these are the
ones that are specific the other ones are more general clips that
I thought would just be of all kinds of great interest and in
fact I'll go play this jump to one of those and this is the
kind of clip like the cucumber clip that I just thought was
because I never thought about this before until now they had
done this PBS thing they had all these lots of packages and this
one package was discussing the what would the dinner is going
to be like the the bowl food and all this other stuff that they
made a big stink about. And but they they had something here
because in this little clip this is defining a feast the kind of
feast as it were was called that Henry the Eighth would put on
and would you could you describe what this was like without? I
mean, I've never thought about it. But I just started this big
lot of food but they actually more interesting than that if
you want to play it or you want to guess if I want to
guess what it was like their feast.
What's the first light? And I don't
know I mean, I'm thinking
the same thing.
Roman orgy I don't know what what could it be? Let's play it.
who's in and who's out? It's the iron hand in the velvet glove.
What sorts of occasion would Henry the Eighth through a feast
for there with Easter feast his marriages he had enough of them
and then celebrations or the betrothal of a prince or
princess to a foreign power?
What things might we be surprised to see on the table at
a Tudor feast?
Well, Heron, Sego porpoise and Swan sprinkled with gold leaf
and embellished within an inch of their lives that would come
up from the kitchens and there would be fanfare due to feast no
one had to worry about which knife to use. Carver's would
carve you a chunk and then you would use a knife to cut off
your little bit during this with yes tried it was a fashion
accessory further up the scale you with the more glorious your
nice the other implements with the shape of your house. Yes and
you just went for it and the table would be completely
covered and you made your selection Yes, I'm a complete
carpet of food
you hack that thing up happened to that
clip? Does that have the way it was played? I really like it up
Oh, interesting. That was there Derek version of editing. PBS
CBS weekend crew. Yeah, showing played that goes from that to to
door etiquette.
Okay, and then we gotta move on because I'm tired of it. Yeah,
welcome to door etiquette and I want to hear the dough tutor
etiquette. Oh, that's different.
You can't Oh, well, Rasmus wrote a book of etiquette. And he
said, Do not non bones like a dog. Do not begin the meal by
drinking. It is the mark of a drunkard. Not Belch. If you must
break wind, cover it with the sound of a cough as in use the
tablecloth because we sit down, and we push the tablecloth away,
but they would sit down and then go like this.
And do this. Yeah, that's quite interesting, because you can see
sort of the ending of the medieval period. And this new
renaissance more courteous age beginning aren't you in that?
Now apparently, they use the tablecloth as the as the lap
napkin.
Okay. Yeah, sure.
I don't know. I thought that was interesting. All right, we're
gonna move on. Well,
the thing that was well two things were interesting about
this. One, I remained that in this day of toxic masculinity
and women need to really move ahead and society. Why are we
glorifying this, this ancient tradition of a man taking a
woman and she's a commoner and all these degrading terms for
women and and is that the dream for little girls to become a
princess one day? Hello? Yeah, I was just saying I just want to
point out what to me was enormous, ginormous, hypocrisy.
Positive hypocrisy. I'm sorry, but it's not hypocrisy. See, I
don't think that's the right word. Oh,
well, yeah. Yeah. Because
the same people that are you because you're not showing that
the people that are, well, what's the right we're just
telling you groaning about toxic masculinity or into what we're
talking about the same
women who are yammering about toxic masculinity. We're into
this. I think most women in America, I don't I guess I'm
only generalizing for sure. But still, and then the other thing
that bothers me tremendously is that the news media, I mean,
everything was set up, they had their mail. I said they sent all
the gay guys to England, including Shep Smith. For Fox
let a number of gay guys stay in the States. I heard more than
one or two gay guys.
I'm talking about this talking about our favorite gay guys.
Come on. Oh, they
are a fan. Favorite. They were all they demanded the guts. Of
course,
they were there. He had the packages were ready. Everything
was set. So we have this horrific event right up the road
from me in Texas. It was like okay, we'll cover this and seen
Okay, everybody. Let's go back. We're back to the royal wedding.
And that was it.
Then just you know, I have to give credit to the PBS NewsHour
on this, because every network news station except maybe one,
and they put it off maybe one one spot. They lead with the
wedding. They let all lead with the wedding. The PBS newshour
ended the show with the wedding after an hour. Yeah. And I
thought that was the way to do it. I mean, this is
not America. Exactly. That's your outro cute that
there's an American multiracial girl in the in the thing but she
knows who's nobody knew who she was until she started dating
this guy. And I still like now if I was like the news director,
I go find her ex husband and maybe her ex ex husband she had
two or maybe some old boyfriends and find out what she's got
going on in the bed.
That's yeah, that sounds like PBS material to me. Well, I
wouldn't be on PBS obviously but I think it could be on inside
edition or some some more loose. Some more or less.
What What kind of detail are you looking for?
I'm looking for all of it. I only know what is her What is
her? What does she do? Does get this guy like God guy. I mean,
she must have some skills.
You clearly watch with a whole different frame of mind. I liked
the dress dress was okay. I liked her party dress more.
Didn't see
the branches and great shoes. Great. She can made a big deal
about this cake. And there was a good step
for getting sucked back in stop. We're doing the same thing.
So let me do one I did one last thing that you know that that
traditionally the this time it wasn't true. Almost all the
Royals wedding cakes are made out of fruitcake.
Yes, I did hear that. And Tina and I looked at each other when
and they were nobody ever ate it. They saved them and they've
apparently and old.
Is that. Is that how it started? I think
so. And so that's purely a 1947 slice of the Queen Elizabeth's
kiss still around. It's going on the auction block has sold for
two grand it can go on tour with
the Kathy Griffin's Trump head. It's a twofer. It's a British
American tour. Yeah. So we should look into the background
again. For those who don't know in the United States of Gitmo
nation that my aunt Janney used to do this every year, she'd
send a fruitcake to everybody. And it wasn't hard as a rock and
it just
inedible. Eat it. It was tasteless, to where no, I was
loaded with spices, but it was it was grainy. And as a kid
you look at that thing. Go No, no, no way in hell, I'm touching
it. And so then of course, you know, we have our joke here that
there's one. Basically one fruitcake that goes all around
America around Christmas time. Everybody sends it to each
other. No one wants to touch the damn thing. But maybe that
originated with these wedding somehow. The saving of the cake.
Yeah. So we had the shooting. And I've been looking at the
feeds and everything throughout throughout the one
you want to play. I have the long form not the whole thing
because it went on 10 minutes, but I have the ABC report that I
thought was pretty good overview.
Oh, yeah, that would be fantastic. Let's see. Yeah,
I was listening to that first time it was Santa Fe high school
in Texas. A student opening fire.
By the way Santa Fe have received a notice from several
producers, not a loving close knit community. In fact, one of
our producers sent a note and said yeah, black people it's a
no go zone for black people in that neighborhood. So I don't
know if he's implying they're racist or but he says it's just
it's very everything's hence the everybody's messed up. That's
what the bad news is are saying
time it was Santa Fe high school in Texas A student opening fire
during class this morning. Classmates running first
responders racing to the school, at least tended the victims
students and a teacher. Those who did get out hugging one
another in fear and in grief, anxious parents waiting praying
that they would see their children again. Tonight a
suspect is in custody now charged with murder and ABCs
chief national affairs correspondent Tom Yamas on the
scene with how the horror unfolded. Early in the morning,
just as school was getting underway, the Rampage started
students sprinting to safety teachers hustling them from the
scene. It began around 7:40am Senior Tyler Turner says his
friend spotted a student with a gun
he saw the kid walking down the hall and he looks suspicious and
whatnot like he said he had a gun or something so he ran he
went down the hall like walking via casually didn't want to know
and then he pulled the fire alarm so we all went outside.
And then we heard three shots that fire
alarm driving students from their classrooms. As soon as the
alarms went
off everybody just started running outside and next thing
you know everybody looks you here Boo. Boo just ran to the
nearest floors so I can hide. I called my
bliss racing the Santa Fe high school shooting in the art room.
We've got shots fired right now guys student Peter Medusa tells
her Marcus Moore he was right there when the shooter unloaded,
he first opened open fire with a shotgun in which he shot one of
my other friends in the head and her body fell down not too far
away from where I wasn't at the table. That is when he turned
like this and opened fire with the revolver.
Kids lined up on the field emptying their backpacks for
officers to inspect their hands on their heads. They're patted
down one by one with students shaking outside, others hunting
in classrooms. Their parents getting that dreaded phone call.
She called she said
mom, Nurse shots.
I immediately turned around and said I'm coming I'm coming and
stayed on the phone with her the whole time and just kept talking
to her kept telling her to stay calm. Stay quiet. About what
happened until the police finally let her out.
By 9am. The shooter had surrendered. But the danger
wasn't over the suspect wanting to take his carnage to a new
level of evil. There have
been explosive devices found in the high school and surrounding
areas adjacent to the high school
tonight. 10 people are dead, most of them students, others
wounded in the hospital. And now the suspect has a mugshot. 17
year old Dimitrios pagourtzis, a junior at Santa Fe High School.
on his Facebook page. He's in a baseball cap with a peace sign.
But about three weeks ago, he posted this photo of a shirt
with the words born to kill authority say he kept extensive
journals.
Not only did he want to commit the shooting, but he wanted to
commit suicide after the shooting. As you probably know,
he gave himself up and admit at the time they didn't have the
courage to commit the suicide.
Police say he used two guns a shotgun and a 38 revolver.
Yeah and so as the
the social meds came into action, there was an obvious
issue because dammit the guy didn't use an AR 15 So so we
about he used his he stole you know that not that no law would
have stopped this as far as well. Maybe the outright banning
of all guns everyone hand him in. He stole a shotgun and a 38
from his dead shotgun by the way, if you remember what good
old Joe Biden said,
Okay, if you want to protect yourself, get a double barrel
shotgun. Have the shelves a 12 gauge shotgun? And I promise you
as I told my wife, we live in an area that
you remember the story? That's what Josie Yeah, you don't need
an AR 15 Get a shotgun well gee,
shotguns be so accurate.
That's a little bit nice. Thanks, Joe. Thanks for the tip.
We tried to give you everyone life saving tips Joe's given
tips to kill people. But that then turned into another
donation drive I have tons of chip in emails because those off
those evil Republicans and the crazy Trump he won't won't fix
this. We got to fix it. Now, but there's no one has anything to
say now about how to fix it. Because you can't point to a
certain script. It totally went off script. It was just now a
couple other things that I've noticed. Well first, let's start
with the obvious you know, Q predicted it John just so you
know Q predicted it. Yep. Yep. You predicted something going
down tomorrow. That's what he always has something going down.
Tomorrow says that every day, some gone down tomorrow. And
then this happens. And with the obvious results, their
advice to anybody who chooses to seek it about some of the
unexpected things that they may find in the aftermath of having
experienced such grief, including all kinds of Carnival
shysters, and people who are making oil salesmen, including
people who are trying to gain access to some of their
financial records, things of that sort, listen to what they
had to tell me just a little while ago.
First thing we found out is that there's a group of conspiracy
theorists out there that are trying to promote the idea that
the US government is behind all these mass shootings, and that
were crisis actors and their daughter is still living
somewhere in the Bahamas.
And did they approach you? Oh, yes. They were also approached
by people who are offering to use their daughter's name for
charity purposes, but they were charities that the parents did
not approve of. They were used
anyway. No, yeah. So that could fit into any theory you want.
You go with your chip in? Yeah, you could do any anything you
want with that. But I really, I see no need for it. What was
also interesting and different about this was devices. He had
devices. He had devices that and I know that you have identified
this trend of calling bombs devices. And I now know where it
comes from, of course, as we've militarized everything in
America. It's the military term for IED, improvised explosive
device. So that's I think, where they're getting devices from
possible but in this case,
as the shooting unfolded, they've been unable to gain
access, because this is a live police investigation scene right
now and they're still on the lookout for some of these pipe
bombs even though one of them turned out not to be very
dangerous. It was a co2 canister wrapped with gaffers tape and no
detonator honest so I don't know what that portends for other
devices which may
have been found here. Bombs pipe bombs,
I just called it by Nam, but they just call it pipe bombs is
true. But there's no other term for pipe bomb yet. But there was
no evidence there was ever a pipe bomb. They found a co2 can
Yeah. And you know, just a gas explosion. I mean, I'm not even
explosive. It's just it's just co2. And some other I think this
was exaggerated. Possibly.
Mmm. You know, and we really don't know anything. The only
thing I care about is I just can't find reporting on it is
what was his mental state? Was he medicated? These are the only
two things I want
to share. You're never going to find out if he's medicated. I
do. They don't report on that ever. I did you because the news
media is supported by these same drug companies?
Yes. And I, in fact, I had to. That's the only thing I
participated in the social meds I tweeted out I said, actually,
the statistic comes from in 2015 23% of 18 to 24 year olds.
They're really college aged kids when so he was almost at age
17. So yeah, he was almost college age.
Yeah, he's 17. Yeah, it's just close enough. 23%
in 2015, which was a doubling at the time, we're on some form of
antidepressant. Now take into account that in 2012. Now, 2014,
I'm sorry, the United the pharmaceutical industry spent $6
billion in America alone on marketing, that's not their
lobbying dollars, their total spend is probably closer to 20
or 25 billion to sell their goods. And I do have a nice
little Big Pharma package coming up later on. Because they use
that $6 billion in the media, is we're never going to get
reporting on it. Because in America, the advertiser is God.
So if you worship a different god, that's okay. That most
people in America worship the advertiser as God, the God tells
them what to do. The God determines what they're going to
see. That's just how it is. Did you have anything else to add to
this shooting? Because I don't think we have anything.
You know, I don't know if they have any clips, they do have
something else that's kind of parallel.
Well, I wanted to go into different topics. So don't split
off if that's what you're doing. No, it's
parallel.
Not splitting off. This is not a fork. Okay. By the way, and
watching all the British were already I realized that the
United States is a fork of the British Empire.
We fork their blockchain. We forked it man. Yeah.
Well, x This is the generation Z speeches. I thought this was
going to try to push this little guy I don't know who's behind it
supposedly some kid. I doubt it. But this is just an off the wall
report that came in locally because it's they're trying to
promote this is a dreadful idea.
This led a shooting in Texas as bringing more attention to a
growing student led campaign called donate 60. It's a 62nd
speech crafted by a team of high school students from around the
country, highlighting equality safety from gun violence and
action on climate change. A junior at Bellarmine College
Prep in San Jose was part of that team who wrote that speech.
He says the goal of the campaign is to get valedictorians and
other high school graduation speakers to spend 60 seconds
reading this special statement, the idea is to empower
Generation Z, who in the next four years, will own 70 17
million votes.
We want politicians in office to see this and recognize that if
they don't you know, if they don't push for change in these
areas that clearly necessitate change, that they will not
necessarily be in office much longer.
Mike Reynolds says the speech is not intended to divide along
party lines but to unite many hopes it's just the start of a
much larger movement, led by Generation Z.
Now wait a minute, this was the hog kids whole vibe was hey,
we're getting ready to vote and we're gonna vote you out. This
is a new kid. Yeah,
this is a kid local Ellerman Hi, he is and this is about a speech
that he wants, you know, they're trying to promote the idea, the
62nd whatever they call it. You're one of the high school
graduates and you're the valedictorian. So you give it a
little speech at the end of your of the class. I remember funny,
some of them aren't. And some of them are humorous, and some of
them are serious and they just want everyone in this grew
everyone is out there now graduating, they want every
valid Victorian to read just read the 62nd speech as part of
their speech, which I wouldn't do in a million years. If I was
the valedictorian speaker.
Well, the virtue signaling is so powerful last night, Tina took
me to the Austin under 40. Gala. Because one of her colleagues
was nominated. And this is a big deal. It's black tie the seven
800 people, it's in the JW Marriott and you know, this food
actually kind of decent got a 12 piece band. And so they award
these in different categories. You know, it's like the who's
who's the coolest under 40? What do you think the bit standing
ovation for one person only have the I don't know, 15 winners?
What do you think? Who do you think got the standing ovation?
Well, I don't know anybody in the area. So I wouldn't have a
clue who
it would be. It would be the woman who got up and thanked
everybody and said, I'm undocumented. And then went into
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I went into a whole thing. And it got
uncomfortable. Because once she had done that, then everybody
was like, you know, Austin is filled with diversity. I'm like,
Yeah, let's walk outside and give some of this rubber chicken
to the homeless guy across the street. I mean, yeah, it's
diverse, I guess. You know, we have rich people inside homeless
guy right outside. Okay, that's diversity. It was real virtue
signaling and it was uncomfortable at times. For me,
it's like, wow, you know,
you feel like you're in a meeting of the Boond boned
in in Illinois. They had a whole different response to this
school shooting shooting in Texas to how it was responded
how quickly it was. senator from Illinois responded obviously
there was an armed guard on the premise.
Well, the presence of the armed officer now the officer is it
was was critically injured he was shot. I don't know if he was
able to return fire or not. I haven't heard that. I think the
fact that that he was able to engage probably saved the lives
of many of those students. And I also understand that there was a
Texas Trooper that also engaged the suspect. I don't know if
you're aware of this, but there is a movement in the state of
Illinois, where we also had a shooting school shooter taken
down the other day, when before he was able to to cause any, any
deaths by school resource officer. There's actually a
movement to defund school resource officers and replace
them with mental health professionals. And this is just
madness. What happened yesterday, what happened last
week in Illinois, is is a shining example of why it is so
necessary to have armed police officers in the schools like
that.
Take out the guns bringing the shrink, it's a step in the right
direction. Because Because
this shrink We'll get shot.
Now the step in the right direction is we need to be all
over this mental health issue and not putting band aids on
stuff, but at some broken record at that point. Now, here's what
was the timing is always interesting. And I'm not saying
that this was time to time to vent, but this news did
completely obvious. scade a very interesting Well, two things.
Gina Haspel was confirmed as CIA chief. And right on the heels of
her being confirmed, we have this bombshell report in The New
York Times. And from what I understand, well, I'm sure a lot
of journalists from the New York Times if CIA connections but
this was possibly a CIA connected to new sources from
CIA, a reporter who publishes this, Trump had a spy in his
campaign story. Yeah. Now, to me with Gina Haspel. Being
was just so elaborated on a little more interestingly, in
the intercept,
Oh, what did the intercepts and I have a theory which I want to
run through, but I want
to definitely, I can't summarize what they said. I just say
there's a lot of elaboration. Okay.
So for me, you have Gina Haspel, being confirmed, which didn't
get a lot of news. But she was confirmed, but then she so she's
in and to me, it was like, oh, okay, and then all of a sudden,
here's this big piece of news is when we had the royal wedding,
which, you know, that obviously that was a pre planned event.
But then the shooting really covered up, you know, it kind of
what it really did is it stopped the Russian news cycle
completely. I mean, it just came to a grinding halt for 48 hours,
there was nothing about the Russian they
had to because the the Royal Wedding everyone knew is going
to chew up at least half the new cycle. So you just need a
filler. Yeah, now clog up the whole thing.
So it was a nice distraction. And maybe if you are John
Brennan or somebody else who might be involved in some
collusion, maybe you're kind of happy that let's see if we can
figure something else out. I don't think John Brennan has
been tweeting a lot about Russia recently. And I want to run a
theory by it. That kind of just came to me and I it's full of
holes. Give me a little room to present it. But definitely
interrupt when you think that's appropriate. So what we learn
from this CIA connected journalist? Is it we have a spy?
And we pretty much all know every one of the big secret, I
guess, in or an open secret in DC, that the spy is this, this
helper guy who is a I mean, he's really a long term CIA asset
that may have also been in the intercept. But this is all it's
not crazy when there's tons of people who are assets for CIA,
and a lot of them are very well known. But some
what? Yeah, we just talked about one earlier. Exactly.
We can't seem to stop talking about her. But we learned
something important something new. Crossfire hurricane was the
name of the spies mission. Crossfire hurricane, obviously,
from the Rolling Stones, jumping Jack Flash, just play a little
bit. So we recall, it's the opening line of the song.
Okay, crossfire hurricane, what a crossfire hurricane really is,
is a type of storm that we'll get right until it's it's kind
of its its middle point, and we'll flip 180 degrees and go in
the other direction. And this was the codename which I believe
struck and then his girlfriend page, we're talking about when
they were texting back and forth. This was the insurance
policy this was the crossfire hurricane no matter what
happens, we'll be able to reverse this election or, or
reverse whatever. I'm sure they want it to happen before the
actual election. And so so this is this is the operation that
they were talking about. Now, we have to recall that we have
modified our initial CIA, FBI, competitive Rift or expanded it
really, to two groups within the United States government, the
intelligence community, mainly run by CIA, and the Defense
Intelligence Community run by the Pentagon, the DIA. And these
two groups alternate running the president, not always exactly
one than the other. But the CIA we've theorized previously obar
Am I was there a guy? And Brennan was probably Obama's
handler and that would I can make it all fit within my own my
own
bias and both Brennan and Muslim being Muslim.
I know people are shaking their heads, but just bear with us for
a moment. And there's there's ample evidence, ample evidence
that they're both Muslim but doesn't matter. Trump we know
from people like botanic and and others and just some obvious
evidence is run by the military. Look at who's around him. So
it's dia CIA versus dia. So clearly, the CIA is all pissed
off about the DIA having their clearly unqualified orange clown
candidate in so they are doing anything they can to break this
guy down. This helper, who was a What Is he is he a he's a
college professor or he's an author. He's a gadfly. He's He's
roaming around, he's hanging out. He was in one eight. He was
in London, mid July. This is at least two weeks, maybe longer.
Before the FBI, the official FBI investigation started. So he
came back after talking with Paige Carter Page and drunk
Papadopoulos. And he had this story, which he of course, told
his handlers at CIA, say, these guys say that, you know, the
Russians have Hillary's emails. And that's when the
investigation started. And I think that CIA said the FBI a
day you should talk to this guy. So he debriefs them. And they're
like, Oh, this is great. And at this point, we we also were just
going to presume the facts of Seth Rich, that it wasn't the
Russians who stole Hillary's emails, it was more or the D at
the DNC, I should say, the DNC hack was not really a hack was
an inside job. This guy's dead. We don't know, Assange put a
bounty on getting his killer. So we're probably sure that what
happened is Inside Job gave it to WikiLeaks. But what the CIA
cabal wanted to prove is that that had gone through the Trump
administration, because there was drunk Papadopoulos who knew
all about it. And you'll recall, maybe six months ago, or seven
months ago, they got all jiggy with it, because they thought
they had found proof that the Trump campaign had the WikiLeaks
had the emails before WikiLeaks had them. You remember that? But
it was a mistake in the dates and they all had to correct
their their story. I
don't remember that. But it makes sense. Okay, so they all
ended to correct their story. It was like, Oh, we finally have
and we got them. Here's the collusion, they had this
collusion with the Russians. They've been trying to do this
from the get go. So the official investigation starts July 31.
And the embarrassing fact is that we not only was this not a
Russian hack of the DNC, it was an inside job, but we have to
pin it on the Russians. So what do we do? We call in not the FBI
who have not been allowed to see any of the infrastructure we
call on CrowdStrike. I learned a little about CrowdStrike Do you
know that they are owned by are they were? I don't know if
they're still own 100% I'm sure they have taken investment. But
this is a Ukrainian firm. It's Ukrainian guys running crowd
CrowdStrike, the pew pew company, they hate the Russians.
So that's easy. We'll have these guys say oh, it's clearly the
Russians. To this continues and I think from that moment on,
this has all been to cover up the ugly fact that they really
could never make that connection. They were wrong.
They were spying on the Trump campaign CIA was spying they
thought they had him they brought in the FBI FBI went
balls to the wall and by the way, you also have to be the
steel guy out there and so everyone's there the real
collusion is there but then when I think about it, and I'll just
wrap this up because I can be completely wrong if you have
crossfire hurricane as you know as your it's kind of your signal
like hey, you know, crossfire hurricane, this is our code
word. It kind of tells me a little bit about Trump's use of
a different Rolling Stone song today, shirt, just listen to the
words. A glass in a glass of wine their hand who was that? I
knew she was gonna leave. She was fine. So this is what Trump
plays. Every single time he is he does a gathering and near the
end of the song we have another interesting lyric Oh, Thursday
at the reception, listen to her. Bleeding in her class was
bleeding man,
she was practiced at the art
practice at The Art of Deception. Until my blood
stained hands i don't know i don't think Trump's that deep.
But if I were the DIA and I wanted to send a message back to
CIA, this is how I do it. But Hillary Oh, yeah, yeah, the
whole song,
got blood, wine in her hand, the whole thing. So they would know
about the other off the counter operation. And they would
counter the counter with this song, say, hey, yeah, we know
what's going on. Now, that's a pretty far out idea. Yeah. But
but the spooks are so screwy that I
wipe every possible it's much bigger that we're just hear down
a we are truly in the swamp trying to figure it out. Those
guys are way above us playing songs for each other. I mean,
then, you know, you know, you know, I just wanted to point out
another observation about myself how I come up with this. You
know, with John, you and I grew up with media, I, my whole life
has been television mainly. And we storytelling has changed
throughout, you know, human lifetime. And this generation,
myself included, have grown up connecting scenes. So you watch
a TV show, your movie doesn't matter. They're inside the talk,
and boom, next, they're in the car in the drive in somewhere.
Now, in my mind, I have connected that dot those two
dots with a whole truthful scenario, they got the coats
that walked out, got the keys gotten the car started pulling
into traffic driving around, and then we're there. Or we're in
New York City afternoon, all of a sudden, boom, we're in Tokyo
late at night. Now obviously, I didn't sit there for 13 hours
while the camera crew went over there to get that shot. So I've
created this story, in my mind of created the connecting dots.
So if you have dots, also known as facts, what happens in
between is your bias. So in this case, I'm taking my bias and I'm
saying, yeah, here's what I think might have happened in
between these factual pieces. And what I'm really describing
is the multi dimensional world we live in right now is people
have the same facts, but we are so trained to tell the story the
way we want to hear it. That it just it seems like this is just
like Occam's Razor This is my uncle's razor is a double edged
sword a double edges you know, it's like it can cut your way
you can cut my way because you're just interpreting
everything in the middle so that's what I did. And of course
I like it
well, yeah, it's spooky it's kind of funny. It's got a lot of
it's got some songs in it. But it was very difficult to make
that connection but you apparently knew the hurricane
lyric because I didn't and then once you thought Rolling Stones
and you've stayed well Rolling Stones and then somehow you
jumped to this the Hillary Yeah.
Tina and I spent a good 45 minutes over the weekend trying
to figure out Tiny Dancer we don't know quite know the
significance of that one yet. That's a very, very odd song
when you read the lyrics.
And so like these, these guys are just
screwed. They're screwed. They can they can't pin it they what
would they want it to prove they just can't prove because they
screwed up. And Brannon is very quiet now that you could now
that we know is the spy is calling me is to all these guys
are very quiet.
Well, let's play the one clip I do have about the FBI informant.
Yeah, okay.
The President and his supporters, meanwhile, are
circulating an explosive theory that the FBI may have planted a
spy inside Mr. Trump's 2016 campaign. Botha legais is at the
White House.
President Trump has seized on reports that an FBI informant
was embedded in the Trump campaign. The informant who
according to The Washington Post, was a retired American
professor interacted with Trump campaign members George
papadopolis Carter Page and Sam Clovis. In a series of tweets
Friday, President Trump wrote that the FBI implanted for
political purposes, a spy in the Trump campaign, adding that they
are out to frame Donald Trump for crimes he didn't commit.
Let's get to conclusion first conclusion is no wrongdoing.
Rudy Giuliani, the president's attorney acknowledged some
uncertainty.
First of all, I don't know for sure notice the president if
there really was one. We're told that we either have an embedded
Informant or we have a deep throat who's reporting after the
Special Counsel Robert Muller enters the second year of the
Russia probe. Reports of the FBI informants are not likely to
help what is an already tense relationship between President
Trump and the Department of Justice, with the President and
his staff, frequently dismissing the investor gation White House
adviser Kellyanne Conway spoke to reporters on Friday. You've
had a year over a year to prove this and you failed to. And yet
you're still talking about a hypothetical but with new
information
that there may have been
an FBI informant.
former Trump campaign aide Carter Page tells CBS News that
the Washington Post's reporting on his interactions with the
former professor and informant are in fact accurate. The FBI
has offered no comment on this story, John, thank you.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, not balanced the story a little bit. There's
a lot of maybe even a proof, maybe of an admittance. But
during the Reagan run for president in 1980, with George
HW Bush, former CIA director, as his vice president, they had
implanted a CIA spook in the Jimmy Carter White House. Yeah,
it wasn't the same guy involved in that help or wasn't, it was
this professor had something to do with it. And the idea was,
was to was to keep an eye on his foreign policy. In case he
pulled a fast one to get out of the bind he was in in Iran.
Yeah. So um, this kind of goes on. But when Trump comes out and
says, you know, his Trump Tower was bugged, and Obama dead and
all this other. I mean, he said that stuff, and everyone just
mocked him when it probably was all true.
And not just that, but there was a cool report that came out over
the weekend, about our favorite, our favorite listening device.
And I found a clip that illustrates very well what these
things do.
It can be as small as a suitcase most people don't know about it
placed anywhere at any time. Our privacy isn't what it once was.
The technology sometimes referred to by the brand name
Stingray mimics the signal of a cell phone tower and tricks
nearby phones into connecting to it
instead of you live close to someone who's a target. You
could still get caught up
and the news for I team found in DC, Maryland and Northern
Virginia. Those targets are everywhere. Just got another one
on two networks. Aaron Turner uses special software loaded
object three cell phones with three different carriers.
So when you see these red bars, those are very high suspicion
events,
and we found them in high profile areas like outside the
Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, going
across the 14th Street Bridge into Crystal City, and we got
picked up twice while driving along K Street lobbying central
it looks like they don't consider us to be interesting,
and so they've dropped it every
cell phone has a unique identifying number the phone
catcher technology can harness 1000s at a time, DHS has warned
that rogue devices could prevent connected phones from making 911
calls, saying if this type of attack occurs during an
emergency, it could prevent victims from receiving
assistance. Absolutely. That's a worry, DC Councilwoman Mary
Chase as the spy technology should be a concern for all who
live and work in the district. Our test phones found the
devices in 40 different locations just driving around
for a few hours.
I suppose if you spent more time you'll find even more,
especially in
her ward where many of the streets are lined with
embassies. They were a hotbed during our tests.
They're doing the interrogation, right, who we are. And then the
white bar represents when they released us
our phone stayed connected the longest right near the Russian
embassy. We got picked up twice on International Drive near
China and Israel and driving north on Massachusetts Avenue
near Romania and Turkey. Our expert says they all have the
technology. You know governments do this to each other all the
time and laws, laws, you know, which is a problem the spy
technology poses a risk to national and economic security.
But there's little our government can do with devices
on foreign soil
a law that we had could not tell these embassies what they can
and cannot do.
He says the good news is about half the devices we found were
likely law enforcement investigating crimes or our
government using them defensively. Oh, that's the good
news. Thanks, Joe. For we did find a few near Langley in the
Pentagon. Oh yeah, we just got to even in Bethesda's Kenwood
neighborhood near Palisades in DC and along Old Dominion drive
in McLean. That's a fishy one. Turner says it could be some
sort of corporate espionage. Maybe
someone's involved in the high level negotiation on a business
deal. Or maybe it's a government employee who's involved in a
regulatory ruling.
And if you've ever wondered why you just can't make a call from
inside your home or office, it could be
why. Oh, there you go. Comprehensive Report on the
stingray everywhere. They're just everywhere.
Yeah, it sounds like there are literally everywhere.
So it's not hard to eavesdrop on what's going on. Not everyone
has a secured phone who drops into the White House. What fear
when I went to the To the palette to the Dutch palace for
lunch with the king and the queen.
What did I do when I walked out? I jump on the phone Tina, I
gotta tell you all about it. That's how it goes. That's how
you find out what happened in the meeting. Yeah, it's so
simple.
I'm sure somebody was listening. Anyway, all right. Meanwhile, I
would probably note that I forgot my phone.
You would walk into a cell phone booth if they still exist. Hey,
Mimi, I forgot my phone. But let me tell you how cool the meeting
was. Just to wrap up our a block here. Regardless of what the
truth is, the media will say whatever they want or whatever
they need or if it's Mockingbird, they'll say what
they're told to say. Great new article came out today about the
Las Vegas gunman Steven paddock. Would you be closer? Oh, yeah. I
mean, this is I knew it. I knew it. People who came into contact
with Steven paddock in the weeks before he killed 58 people at a
Las Vegas concert last October, said he railed against the
government behaved oddly and expressed a willingness to die.
Yes, one woman into one woman. One woman interviewed by the
police said she sat in the booth of a diner eating dinner a few
days before the shooting and overheard a man
and then next to them this long to get the Stooges together. She
subsequently recognized this paddock The woman said paddock
was discussing with another man deadly standoff between federal
agents and anti government activists at Ruby Ridge in
Idaho. Yes, and Waco, Texas. They kept mentioning the 25th
anniversary of Ruby Ridge. I didn't hear them planning
anything but they were speaking of things that struck me as odd.
At the time, I just thought strange guys and I wanted to
leave. So there you go. It's clear that he was just a wait.
Here's another guy. An inmate at local County Detention Center
told investigators that three weeks before the shooting
paddock answered his online ad for the design to a device that
converts semi automatic AR fifteens to automatic. When they
met in the store parking lot. The man said paddocks that he
would give me $500 apiece to make an unspecified number of
the converters. I guess he's talking about
bump stocks. No, no, he's talking about something Mel's
Yeah,
like a real machine or the hand crank or it could just be a
different lower.
Or it could be How about, you know changing the mechanism. So
just not a man a
man modified lower? Sure. After the man after the man said he
didn't want to go to prison for that. He said Patrick went on an
anti government rant. So we went from railing against the
government to an anti government rant. Quote, he kept carrying on
about just anti government stuffs at the man who was booked
into jail shortly after the massacre on an unrelated charge.
He asked me if I remembered Hurricane Katrina Katrina and
said that was just a dry run for law enforcement and military to
start kicking down doors and confiscating guns. Somebody has
to wake up the American people and get them to arm themselves.
Sometimes sacrifices have to be made.
Wow. So he's because he was so now that the narrative Is he
some anti government nutcase. And so in protests, he shoots
down a bunch of Country and Western revelers that have hurt
innocent victims have nothing to do with the government. He's
going to do that. Is that the way it's going to go down? Does
that make sense to anybody? Yes. So what they're saying nice try.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in
the morning to you John C. stands for collusion anyone
Devorah
in the morning do Mr. Adam curry in the morning all ships and sea

note about creepy YouTube suggestions. My husband and I
are in the car behind a Mustang and I mentioned that I'd heard
Ford Ford was no longer going to make sedans besides the Mustang.
When we got home and open youtube on our Roku, one of our
top suggested fit deals was all about Ford's announcement
totally creeped us out. We didn't log into YouTube on that

I'm thinking about the meeting named Jennifer with a mom and a
husband and and she's like listen to the she's spewing
stuff about Rachel In The twosome or they're not wanting
to get into an argument. I think one of the other techniques you
could use is you can do one of those Rachel's got this funny
look that she can employ at the drop of a hat where she kind of
brings her eyebrows together and then brings up the middle of was
kind of a sad Oh my You poor thing. Look and I think that if
you just when people start going off on this dementia B stuff,
you could just give that look and just like you could just
given the look so sad for them
given the range look, the Rach Rach look. I gotta write that
down. The Rach look
a little entre mom, before we get into a heavier topic as its
back.
The Ebola virus has spread to a city along the Congo River in
the Democratic Republic of Congo. That is scary because
lots of people travel through a port city. And the Ebola virus
of course is highly contagious. As you will remember from the
massive outbreak in West Africa a few years ago, that outbreak
killed more than 11,000 people all the World Health
you're not going to be able to hear the report if you're
playing the recorder hearing
it very nicely organization
is working with local authorities in Congo to try to
stop the spread of the disease. And we have reached Dr. Peter
Salama. He is the who is Deputy Director General for emergencies
we've caught him on the line in geneva switzerland Hey Dr.
Saddam there must be major lessons learned from the
situation in 2014 with the last major outbreak What have you
learned that's informing the way that you're preparing this time?
What are you learning both
Firstly, we were too slow last time around the international
community including who so we've been pretty fast off the ground.
Okay, we
gotta get we gotta get Hurry Hurry up. We got to fast we did
took too long to get the money last time people time.
So the outbreak was only confirmed on May the eighth.
We've sent it a mobile lab. we've ensured that personal
protective equipment is on the ground and agreed on the
critical priorities in a response plan. So we're really
establishing a no regrets policy. We want to make sure
that we don't let this one get out of here.
I'd like to no regrets policy. I think that's what we that should
be our policy.
Doesn't sound like us on the phone to me.
Well, hold on, he continues
that what we can say is the international response has been
quick thus far. We have a vaccine, which is now in the DRC
and almost ready to be deployed. Oh, no,
we have a vaccine. We have a vaccine.
And that's what this is all about. That's
in the DNC and ready to be deployed.
We have a vaccine, which is now in the DRC and almost ready to
be deployed. But really important to remember. The
vaccine is not a silver bullet.
Oh, hold on a second. Did not the DNC the DRC it's not a
silver bullet. Isn't that the whole point of the vaccine?
Isn't the vaccines are
they making that they Oh, they're doing this constantly,
is like the measles thing crapped out and people are
getting measles, you know, they had a shot. So it's not a
good vaccine.
That's what I'm thinking.
The vaccine is not a silver bullet. The vaccine really rests
on the foundation of having those basic public health
measures of surveillance, good contact, tracing, trees, then
really good engagement with the communities so they understand
what we're doing. And what we're recommending in terms of safe
burials, avoiding traditional healers, and really using the
communities as an asset to stop this outbreak.
I'm sorry, that makes no sense to me. The vaccine is the silver
bullet does not solve everything. We have a vaccine
against Ebola, we should be given it to kids everywhere.
Shooter apparently doesn't work as a bogus vaccine
everybody now, I don't know it's I find it very, very suspicious
this vaccine. But it's back. It's bad. Maybe you have to do a
new version 2.0 needs to be funded. I don't know. But this
is everyone just they just love the Ebola stories. Take one guy
has Ebola. We got the vaccine.
Well, I gotta be said you gotta do these entrematic Got a little
thing for you. Just it becomes a phrase from the chaise idea.
Actually, don't I'm gonna do it later in the show. I'm gonna get
you can continue. I'm sorry. Oh,
well, I was interested in the little thing you have for me. It
was a little thing. All right. Well, I'll stick with Big Pharma
them. Very sorry.
Yay for Big Pharma.
Yay. Let's talk about Big Pharma. This was one of those
rare moments when PBS did us justice. One of my knobs came
off. Hello knob. My fader knobs stuck to my finger and came
right off the board. pressing too hard everybody. Katherine
Eban is an author. She has written many books about to Big
Pharma, not flattering. She was on PBS on what is this? Like?
brilliant minds upside minds? What is it? Something minds?
It's a series and she will actually we have a see. I think
we have a little intro about her first here we go.
Katherine Eban is an investigative reporter whose
articles on pharmaceutical counterfeiting, gun trafficking
and coercive interrogations by the CIA have won international
attention and numerous awards. Author of dangerous doses, a
true story of cops, counterfeiters and the
contamination of America's drug supply. Eban uncovered for
Fortune magazine the comprehensive picture of how
under police generic companies operate. As she writes, it's not
a tale of cutting corners or lacks manufacturing practices,
but one of outright fraud, in which the company knowingly
sells substandard drugs around the world, including in the US,
while working to deceive regulators. Eban adds that the
impact on patients will likely never be known. But it's clear
that millions of people worldwide got medicine of
dubious quality.
So this woman knows a lot about the history of drugs. Certainly
the FDA, the United States pharmaceutical industry, and she
should avoid small aviation and hot tubs of possibly. Let's go
into well where most pharmaceuticals that we consume
here, certainly in the United States of Gitmo nation, where
they're actually produced,
what percent of drugs that are prescribed in the US are generic
and what percent are being conceived, made overseas, or at
least in conditions that are not subject to regulation, right.
Well, it's theory, all the conditions are subject to
regulation. The question is, how effective is that regulation?
How well does it work, but let's go back to numbers for a second
85% of all the drugs prescribed in this country now are generic,
the majority of those are made overseas, over 40% of those
alone are made in India, take a step back 80% Of all the active
ingredient used in all our drugs, whether brand or generic
are coming from China. Now, if somebody explained to me, I
mean, China is definitely a concern and a risk as we've
known, they have been the source of contaminated Heparin, tainted
dog food, all kinds of troubling lapses have occurred in products
from China. But there is a distinction to be made, which
is, China does not make the bulk of our finished doses. So
they're making active ingredients. The bulk of the
finished doses in generics are coming from India, what that
means is they're making final pills, capsules and vials that
are literally leaving those manufacturing plants in India
and coming directly to our drugstores. That is the last
stop, where drugs a poor quality can be detected.
Now, I didn't know this. I had no idea that most of our drugs
are why the China connection is one thing but the most of it's
in India, no wonder India is selling all kinds of drugs
online. And it's always touted here as counterfeit. Now it's
the same it's it's like the fake Gucci bags. It's probably it's
probably real.
Where there's a lot of real stuff that's sold is
counterfeit. That's true. You run into this all over the Asia
of you float around and not to find it in Korea, you find it in
Malaysia find them all over the place. And his levels of
corruption in that regard are extremely high. That
was one of the topics that you introduced years ago was the
problem we have with antibiotics that they don't work anymore.
And wouldn't you know it, this lady has a little bit of
background, the history of antibiotics
for that my upcoming book, I did a lot of research on the history
of antibiotic production. And it's really a thrilling story
how penicillin was discovered and, and how the British fluid
in spy planes over to the US and got antibiotic production going
with the help of the US government. But then over the
decades, slowly, all of that antibiotic production moved
overseas, to the point where really, the US makes almost no
antibiotics at all. All of our antibiotics are made overseas.
So if you're going to go and fill a prescription for your
kid, at a drugstore and antibiotic, they've got an ear
infection, it's almost certain that that antibiotic is going to
have been made in India. So it's it's a story about cost. A
number of people have accused China of sending over
essentially spies to Harvard University and stealing
antibiotic strains. But nonetheless, the Chinese did
have a long history of fermenting fermentation. They
make soy sauce, they make beer, they make rice wine vinegar, and
they knew how to ferment antibiotics. And they started
making antibiotic salts, which are kind of like the base
ingredient of antibiotics. They could do it so cheaply. So
manufacturers here and in Europe said, Well, why am I keeping
open these factories, when I can buy the active ingredients from
China for a song, import them over here and make the finished
doses? And that's really what happened is that it was just
economics, and we stopped making the drugs, you know, but but
it's a whole ecosystem. That is been harmful because antibiotic
development stopped. One of the things that I'm examining in my
upcoming book is the problem of when you have poor quality
generics, what does that do that actually feeds drug resistance?
People are getting substandard doses, then drug resistance is
growing as it is around the world. So this is a this is a
giant problem. I mean, this is not just a problem of you know
of a consumer in a drugstore maybe getting a substandard
quality drug and they don't actually know where it was
manufactured. This is a problem of public health worldwide.
Well, that certainly is an eye opener. I'd say
and I it makes so much sense the Chinese make all the fermented
stuff. Yes, that's what they do. It's like damn Yeah, They do.
They do ferment. They're very they're good fermenters. And we
got the windows making the hundos. By putting it all
together in the meantime, it's all substandard. So your obvious
question is, well, what's the FDA doing? As it turns out, the
Food and Drug Administration was never properly funded for this
type of policing. Because it's not done in America, they have
to go to China, and they have to deal with the Chinese have to go
to India deal with the Indians. And guess what, it's a scam,
the FDA was set up as a domestic agency. It was not an
international agency. And suddenly, around 2000 234, it
finds itself tasks bush with becoming a global policeman of
foreign manufacturing plants. And there's a huge backlog and
they scrambled to keep up. And they've got all kinds of
problems. And one problem that they have is, who are they going
to send to inspect these plants? Does anybody even want to go
over there and do these trips to India? Can they station people
there? What are the diplomatic impacts of this? What are the
sort of statecraft impacts of this? China doesn't even want to
let our FDA inspectors in because they think they're all
spies? So how are they going to solve this problem? And they
solved it in a way that has actually been disastrous for
public health. One of the ways that they solved it is by giving
all of these manufacturing plants overseas advance notice
that they're coming. So they give them rose two months, three
months advance notice to say, Please expect an inspection. Can
you help our inspectors with transportation? Can you help
them with some hawkers tell arrangements? Can you help us
with visas? Can you get them location letter, this is not how
you do inspections to really find out what's going on in
plants. And what I'm uncovering and which will chronicle in full
detail in this book is that these plants have responded with
these giant data falsification teams that could arrive in
advance or work in advance of the FDA inspections, and
basically inspect all the data. Now, if you're one of these
plants, why are you going to invest all this money upfront?
To develop a generic drug and submit an application to the
FDA, when you don't know if they're going to approve it?
Wouldn't it be better and smarter to fake the data to
begin with, wait to get the approval approval and then
scrambled to try to make the drug?
So not? Not only are we the most drugged out nation, are getting
bad shit.
Now, the thing that gets me is I don't understand why they don't
use some quality control experts and just stop the stuff as it
comes as as imported new batch, do a random select question of
various batches. And if you find any flaws, in other words,
there's not enough drugs in the drug and just reject a whole
batch and send it back. I don't know I don't see this because
because that stops limit they're talking about that stops
the money train. Like we're going over there. We're getting
over there. You just need to you need to stop at it. But as it
comes in
somehow you're confused that our government is working on our
behalf. I'm thinking they're going over there party town.
Well, there's I'm sure that it's going on. It's it's it's this
story, though. It makes no sense to me because it is easily
solvable.
Oh, it's easily solvable. No doubt. But come on. The FDA is
corrupt. We know how corrupt they are. There's what she isn't
going into as the parties. I'm sure it just big big party on
party on down everybody.
But the drug drug companies are notorious for that. Yeah.
So I'm gonna wrap this up with of course, we have to talk about
opioids. And she has a little blurb on that and
Big Pharma. Where you really see the fraud is in marketing. It's
in sales. So we made this huge investment. We did all this
research. And now we're going to try to expand all the indicators
for this drugs, hey, you know, opioids, let's market them to
children. Let's market them to old folks. Let's market them to
everybody. Let's you know, I mean, the big thing that Purdue
pharma did and you know, I've written about Purdue Pharma is
they tried to basically expand who they marketed their drug nor
normalize it, to normalize it exactly. They tried to normalize
it to say, You know what, because our drug, they'd like to
claim that it was non addictive and therefore, could be safely
marketed by ordinary doctors to ordinary pain patients. Yeah,
that it was no longer going to be just reserved for a dying
cancer patient. It was going to be marketed to you know, anybody
with a backache. That's what happened. There you go.
That's the scam. It's in the marketing where we live. We see
it every day. And here's the
wrap up. Katherine Eban is an investigative reporter whose
articles on Thomasson
Cicerone one I'm sorry, wrap up. Was that no, that was the last
one. I'm sorry. That's yeah, that was it. That was it. I'm
done.
Well, that's disgusting.
Yeah. I can't wait to read her forthcoming book. It shows up
this Justin,
you gotta get a kick out of this.
Newly unsealed FBI search warrant shows Las Vegas gunman
Steven paddock had a ZTE phone.
Oh yeah. Connected dots.
Connected is trying to throw that in for no good reason.
isn't a great slam. Slam ZTE for just gratuitous Well, it's
interesting that Trump mio was just all over ZTE.
He used Bing to as a search engine. While he's a smart man.
Why do you think he's president? Kids? If you want to be
president use Bing. How about
a Trump if there's ever a couple of little slammed items that
they sent out? Just for no good reason. I thought this was I
have two of them. One of them is Trump and Melania tweet. Did you
hear this one is a good one. While her
exact kidney issue has not been released, White House says her
treatment was for a benign condition. And the President
tweeted it was good to have her home. Even though in his haste
to tweet, he misspelled her name. spelled it Melanie. And He
also thanked everyone for their well wishes for his wife.
Jam AutoCorrect.
And then they had this.
Did you hear the running joke was she had a tumor removed from
her kidney But Trump kept coming back, you know, tons of jokes
that you get that from the chat room said no, no, no, no.
No, that's from the face bags. No, that's what that's the
that's the joke I saw out there in the
Medes. So
did it again you're drinking no honey wine. Is that what you're
talking about?
Are you saying so? So ah, yeah. Go ahead.
Okay, here's another one. Here's here's what I call the
gratuitous Why do you even have this story on the network news.
This is the one that unfortunately misspelled every
damn near every word in this thing, but this is grabbing a TV
straw.
Back here tonight and reports of a new meeting at Trump Tower
during the campaign that has drawn the attention of the
special prosecutor Robert Muller, but New York Times in
the Wall Street Journal reporting on the August 2016
meeting, Donald Trump Jr. Meeting with an Israeli social
media specialist and an emissary for two wealthy Arab princes who
presented a social media campaign to help his father win
the election. A lawyer for Don Jr. confirms the meeting but
says the president's son told them he was not interested next
to breaking news out of stock depresses
the stupid his story ever high. You
got to do something when you're
like a scandal now every time he took a crap, do they have all
that documented?
And people often ask why we don't rail on Trump the way we
used to rail on Obama. It has nothing to do with the
President. It has to do with the media. Yeah, with the media is
what we're against. Yeah, that's what that's that's what we're
trying to figure out. What is their agenda? Where's that
coming from?
This is obviously coming from the intelligence agencies that
own them. Yes. And the large corporations days of media
independent media seem to be
intelligence and defense. Our corporate media defense is all I
mean, corporate defense is all corporations skewed Lockheed,
Boeing, Rand, and intelligence is Facebook Amazon with the
cloud for the now they want to store the news they want to
Amazon or whatever. It's not necessarily Amazon I understand.
And they have a great name for to I forget. But anyway, this
intelligence cloud they want they want to be able to store
nuclear secrets in the cloud. Come on, what are we what are we
talking about people?
This crazy?
Storing it in the cloud? That's a great name. What the hell is
the name of that? Is one of those acronyms? Damn it, maybe
the troll room.
I got my little tidbit for you. Okay. This one really gets me
because I watch cooking shows on Saturday morning. And I have to
say I watched the Martha Stewart stuff and you wonder what
they're actually quite good. She has good recipe. She has good
techniques. She does all this stuff. But then when you look at
the at the credits at the end, she has five chefs, a recipe
writer and all these other people in the background doing
all the real heavy lifting and she just comes out as the
presenter. I mean, everybody else that does these shows like
Jack Papan he doesn't have a bunch chefs and recipe writers,
he just knows how to cook. But she got you know, I've never had
the impression that she was much more than a woman knew how to
arrange floral, new floral arrangements and make tables
look nice. But she presents herself as Martha bakes. And
Martha cooks as the cooking school supposedly, but it's
because he's got a huge staff of very talented people. And so
what he presents is always, except once in a while, I think
they pull his fast one on her, but she presents extremely good
stuff, but she always says he says certain things that just
irksome. One of the words she says constantly is scrumptious,
which is a word that is a pet peeve. I don't like the word
scrumptious. It's creepy. And people say Oh, it's so it's
scrumptious. It doesn't mean anything. That's
what it means something clearly it means nothing. It means
nothing means you're an idiot. Now, so here's Martha Stewart
yammering and there's something in here that bugs me. Places to
a platter, or two individual plates. So gorgeous. And serve
while it is five.
There's a lot to unpack there of irksome pneus so gorgeous. She
constantly
says constantly. I think in this show she said at least three
times.
Piping hot. Yes, piping hot. That what does that mean? It's a
phrase from the chaise is a 30 under 3030 from the 30s
I tried to look it up and I'll read you some stuff about piping
hot. What is it? It means very hot like
a stone pipe like stove pipe hot does that where it comes from?
Yeah, I'm gonna read the origin of the phrase and Scotland
ceremonial dishes of food were often brought to the table to
the accompaniment of bagpipes as they were piped in. This could
easily be imagined to be the origin of piping hot it isn't
though, nor does the phrase derive from food being piped
aboard ships. The derivation of this little phrase is the
sizzling whistling sound made by steam escaping from very hot
food, which is similar to the sound of a high pitched musical
pipe. I don't buy this.
Oh, wait. You can do that. You can emulate that sound on your
recorder.
Like yeah, here
we go. Here's piping hot. In audio. There you go. Yes. Oh,
you're you're nailing it. It's just so good. Now,
that's bullcrap. I have never had a whistling sound come from
anything other than one of those boilers that has the whistle on
it. This is nonsense. And there's no evidence that they
can find out what this really came from Chaucer, in fact, use
the term in 1390 He said they sent her sweetened wine and well
spiced ale and waffles piping hot out of the fire.
Well, what kind of food did they make back then? Maybe it's the
maybe you're not doing the right food.
I have no idea but this term that she and she keeps saying
Lobster. Lobster drives me nuts. It's like it's really annoying.
This a piping hot when nobody even knows the origin of this
stupid word phrase.
When you boil a lobster it can whistle.
Like, Hey, get me out here. Close. Well, I'm glad that you
did some work. And were able to combine that with your personal
life. It's a joint enterprise defense infrastructure. Jedi get
it? Yes. Cute. Yeah, they're so cute. Jedi, but I don't think
they're gonna give it all to Amazon. That apparently that's
off the table. Amazon's
but I mean, the Bezos is playing the good, good game. He's
appealing to them. He controls the Washington Post, which is
anti Trump. It's all solid. Good. I don't know why they
wouldn't just give it to Bezos. Maybe he's getting too powerful.
He's He's the world's richest man. Now I understand.
Of course, it's too powerful. It's way too powerful.
Let's do a little Iran Bitcoin check. Oh, we are on the rise a
little bit. I mean, here on the no agenda show we will let you
know if something's going on with Iran based upon the price
of Bitcoin currently. 8512. We are back on the rise on CNBC,
our data partners that can show what happens after the US
government puts new sanctions on Iran as it did yesterday. A week
later. Oil is up more than 1.5%
that scam worked. Classic
1.5% has nothing to skyrocket. No
I know but you get my point.
But the EU is now considering direct transfers with the
Iranian central bank which would make oil for euros. Yeah, that's
not good. This is a very this is a bad idea. Do I don't
understand? Are they crazy?
I don't know why they haven't looked at history as he would
have tried to scam this.
We know this is not a good idea. Why would you do that? Just why?
All right.
Is that the closed Iranian section? Yeah, that's all I got
an Iran and nothing here. Yo, here's this. Here's the here's
the breaking news. This is a kind of a local story, but it's
kind of taken over the whole country. And it doesn't make a
lot of sense, but it's a fact. Less babies in California
know, gee, I'm from the future.
California's birth rate has fallen to its lowest level in a
century. The CDC says 471,000 babies are born last year down
3% from the year before, the current birth rate is even lower
now than it was during the Great Depression. California's drop is
consist consistent with a decrease nationwide. But it
comes at a time when the general population is aging. The rate of
people over 65 is increasing dramatically, that we have to
have more babies or have people having more children.
Experts suggest that many women are waiting longer to have
babies until they are more financially stable or not having
them at all.
Well, you're just baiting me you're just leading me along a
lot of this of course has to do with the sending all the kids to
college and then breaking them with unbelievable debt. Yes, the
whole thing's a scam.
Right? And of course we know that. They still have the urge
and they still need to have that parental.
So they get the dog
dogs. That's right, dogs. And we have a note. We have a note from
Michelle and Michelle is in Canada Navia. She is in these
lives in the Okanagan Okanagan Okanagan Valley Okanagan Valley.
What do you think it is? Okanagan and BC pretty liberal
overall and a huge tourist area I currently work at a dog
boarding kennel though not for much longer. I can say with
authority that some people are absolutely nuts about their pets
and don't consider them as anything less than a true child.
You should see some of the feeding slash care instructions
we get ready to draw some some instructions from the pet
owners. So my dog will not drink tap water you need to use only
filtered or bottled water or he won't drink. Meanwhile, the dog
drinks out of muddy puddles while in our care. Yeah, won't
drink tap water cheer. My dog cannot be left in a crate. I
absolutely do not want her confined like that. It's cruel,
and it freaks her out and she cries. I registered her as an
emotional support animal so I can have her on my lap while
flying for that very reason. Which just just blew my mind
support animal her no. Yeah, well, yes, exactly. She sounds
like the emotional animal for the dog. Yes, that's
and this blew my mind when I'm like, Oh my God. These people
they don't need they, their dog their pets but dogs in
particular are so much their children. I
am glad these people are taking themselves out of the gene pool.
Meanwhile, the dog is placed in a crate for 10 to 20 minutes for
her safety while a larger dog is in the immediate vicinity where
she is quiet as a mouse and falls asleep in the cage. She's
so comfortable. By the way, this owner also puts a bow on her
dog's head that she changes every day and makes us make them
for her. Even though it's ridiculously simple to make your
own at home. I show I have showed her how talk about high
maintenance is different. You know, my first wife used to do
that. We had a Yorkshire Terrier.
And she would put a bow. It was a it was a male to
your dog.
The irony. The dog's name was Blondie, which was Hitler's
dog's name. So just irony. We also see a lot of dogs on anti
AGS anxiety medications as well. I could go on, but it's simply
too much. I find that it's more common than not to have pet
parents act this way. However, there are still a few people
that recognize their pet as a pet and not people starting a
new job can you some calm before get we'll get you that thank you
very much Michelle appreciate it. So it's pretty rampant and
now downtown Denver. Just read this this morning. And this is a
problem we haven't talked about yet because I think we can agree
that it's really urban areas that are doing this dog thing
replacing children with dogs and and being the emotional support
mammal for your pet and grass and trees under siege. Downtown
Denver's 1000s of He in pooches spark called to protect urban
greenery. And this is true we have around our building
everywhere please don't let your dog pee in everyone the dog grew
out the building right into the into the shrubs where it says
sign standing there holding the dog and the scientists Please
don't Don't let your dog do his business here. And just letting
them pee destroys everything.
It's destroying our city
it is. It's I'm very I'm very irked about it but I think
that's obvious. Anyway, dogs
Yeah, it goes to get in trouble. Yeah,
that's the best. Yeah, I
think this is an issue. i By the way, Who's the woman who sent in
the kennel stuff to Michelle. Michelle, did he get a hold of
her? Because I think there's a book in this. I mean, that's
probably she probably in the tip of the
iceberg effect Confessions of a kennel caretaker. Yes,
I'm like that. Oh, like when
you think we're feeding your dog bottled water you were letting
them drink out of muddy puddles? Yeah. All the
nutty stuff like that classic and that yeah, and yeah, believe
it to be true dogs. I'm picky about the water.
Why don't you write it with her?
They drink the Yeah, I can do that. They drink from the toilet
dogs nightmares the lid hits him on the head.
And I don't hate dogs. I really liked dogs. Man, I'll tell you
so they're expecting in the in one apartment building? No, I'm
sorry. Not one apartment building in in Denver. 3000 out
of 3000 apartments. 1200 of them will have dogs.
That's That's pretty significant. Yeah. There's also
a lot of dogs as also a movie in here live dog poop. And when we
have
you know, some kind of high pitched ultrasonic sound that is
broadcast through web browsers everywhere and through phones,
I'm sorry, through phones, and just makes the dogs go nuts and
attack everybody. Is a great be great. It's a good movie. And
people will be really freaked out like crap, Mom, I could
really happen. Especially with Trump as president.
I think you saw Kingsman one of the you had the
guy. Yeah. Now Yeah, you're right. That's it. That's the
concept. Except same story. Yeah, except there'll be the
dogs and not the not the people themselves. Right. I have,
missy. I just got a little little mini bit here about the
Koch brothers. They're back on the scene. Of course, we have
midterms coming up. So you know.
Brother, it was dangerous. Koch brothers.
There's a twist this time around. The
Koch brothers are libertarians. They're not conservatives. So
the clash with the President in a number of ways, especially the
direction of the Republican Party. So where the President
wants tariffs, they want free trade, where the President wants
a hard line on immigration, they want to fix for dreamers, where
the President has decided to sign a spending bill that would
increase the deficit. The Koch brothers have really opposed
that from the start. So what are they doing now the Hispanic
outreach arm of the Koch network is doing something they've never
done before. And that is to spend money, praising Democrats
at the federal level, who they've worked with on a
solution on a legislative solution for these dreamers. So
they're gonna send out about more than 100,000 mailers to
various people in the districts of five Democrats. Now it's
notable that one of these folks is the chairman of the House
Democratic campaign arm in a midterm year, we also want to
note that there are nine Republican lawmakers. So they're
not going all in with Democrats. It's just notable that this is
one of the first times they're actually spending money to
praise them.
Now, who are the Democrats going to kick around this election
then?
I don't know what they're going to do. Doesn't seem like Koch
brothers have always been kind of like, I mean, they support
public radio, public broadcasting and most of the
money goes to the PBS news hour.
Well, for sure, but at the same time, and we know that the Koch
brothers were via they just felt that everything has been bought
and paid for Koch brothers, they they control everything.
And they, you know, hated Trump and Ben put their money against
the against him and he won. So how powerful can they be? Right?
I don't know. So I have a clip of this is kind of a, you know,
the anti gun thing, which I guess relates to earlier story.
but this one this one particular incident really has me galled
because of the way Jackie space spear. Congressman, local
congressman, in her anti gun Democrat, anti gun rant. It's
just disingenuous. It's bullcrap. It's got nothing to do
with anything. And it's so presented, the way it's
presented as you listen to it right here,
woman, Jackie Speier continues to advocate for tighter
restrictions on guns.
As a survivor of gun violence.
I know what it's like to live with it the rest of your life.
We can do better than this. There was a time in this country
where the NRA wasn't dictating what we did as a nation. We've
got to get back to that.
You might recall the spirit was shot five times during the
Jonestown Massacre back in 1978. Congressman Lille Ryan was
killed.
She's a survivor of gun violence in another country. This is like
saying that all of our veterans that came back from the Iraq
War, anything else, almost all survivors of gun violence? Yeah.
Just like I'm the survivor of the war on drugs.
It's nonsense. She wasn't she wasn't a survivor of any gun
violence that took place in the United States. This was in a
foreign country. What happened to her? She went down there with
Congressman Ryan to Jim Jones's operation, to see what the hell
was going on. Because, I mean, it was stupid to go down there.
But they went down there to see what's going on, because it was
a cult that this San Francisco preacher had set up in Ghana.
And I hit about 900 to 1000 followers there. And he, he was
brutalizing me using him as slave labor sex slaves. He was
just a horrible person. And he, but it was praised by all the
liberals. They thought this was great because he was doing a
good work.
You're not pronouncing it right. It's liberals. Liberals.
Anyway, so he did, there was a lot of complaints. Somebody got
the word out some and maybe somebody even escaped. And he's
like running a prison thing in the jungles of Ghana. And so
Ryan decided to make a big scene is going to go down there and
investigate, you know, congressional and he took a crew
of people with him, like maybe 10 people. And they looked
around, he didn't see too much going on. It was leaving the he
was gonna go fly back. They didn't know what to think. And
so they started shooting at the party, as they're getting on the
planes and they killed him. Jackie, two or three times that
she was trying to get out. And, you know, I guess they finally
ran back into the jungle, and then she came back as a victim
of gun violence. But this was not any sort of normalized gun
violence. It was a screwball situation after that is when
Jones thought the jig was up, and he decided to make everyone
drink the Kool Aid and he killed 900 people were buried in a very
obscure cemetery in Oakland, which I discovered
well in a mass grave while you were telling me that story, it
just kind of hit me. We're a little a little slow on the ball
about the the Ebola story. Today is election day. Election day
were in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Oh, okay. So they
wanted people home don't go and vote stay home. Scary Ebola. We
need people we have a vaccine stay at home. Stay at night.
Stay at home. Your vaccine is coming at home and not leave
your home so to finish your back seeing this comment it will work
your vaccine is coming stay at home citizen
could be Western who is going on about the Congo being the
world's greatest place. Man Mandy Patinkin
Oh, right. Ah, hold on a second was that before the Ebola crisis
the Redux hold on Patinkin.
I kept calling it Potemkin as though there's the Russian guy
but no Patinkin somebody called me out on it. Yeah, he is
talking about the Congo.
What would you how would you spell his name?
Ma n n y o Mani no but his last name? P i
t something p i
t Sultan and BP pit pit sure pa p i t. A? I don't think so.
Putting Patinkin is p i T i k and I think it could be pa te I
don't know.
I can't find it. That's for sure. I can't find the clips.
Sorry. Yeah. Because of not can't find it.
I have my record anyway. Okay, well, so
there you go. So there's seems like the Ebola thing is probably
the Ebola scare. Maybe related to how When people stay home,
we'll see what happens if there's going to be riots or
what goes on today. It's a show day after all, maybe we should
just briefly the best thing I have gotten off the grid baby,
tons of emails still coming in. And this is not really so much
about getting off the grid right now. But this is more about the
tracking, we got a number of very interesting emails, I think
you got this one as well from one of our producers who works
in who used to work in the United Arab Emirates at an LDS
location based services provider. And he said in the
morning, gents, is my country as my contribution to the show, I'd
like to bring some of my heart obtain knowledge to your
attention something you were talking about in the show but
how to people in the same room get the same recommended videos
on YouTube just because of a small an aging algo known as lbs
or location based services which picks up your IP address and
recommends videos on basis of your general election. In the
case of cell phones I used to work for an SMS provider in UAE
by the name of value first an overly Indian company with me as
its first non Indian employee who got fired when I cheered too
much about the cricket match between India and Pakistan which
Pakistan one and I got fired for being a Paki Okay. Too much
information I'm sure we used to sell our clients elders little
grudge Right. Like imagine
you're working at an either your Pakistani working in an Indian
company the Pockys are winning you'd like your course you're
out fired. Yeah, you're out you're out. We used to sell our
clients lbs SMS is we're in our clients could send clients SMS
is based on the basis of their location, which were used to
pick up through cell phone triangulation. So when you enter
the Mall of Dubai, you would receive an SMS about the food
court special deals and any sales etc. Coming into the
conversation about the algo picking up ads on base of your
conversations. I agree with John the voices too muffled to send
any information however, the aid words are not picked up during
your breakfast table conversation is picked up during
your telephone calls. Most phones will record every call as
a default setting. Specifically Android 5.0 1.1 to 5.0. Point
one devices may be true, I don't know. But it appears that these
chips that are in these phones really do give way a lot of
information to the cell phone company. And you have a couple
more examples of what I think is pure location based targeting.
This is Steve from Massachusetts. On the last show
you were talking about ads my wife received ads on her laptop
about a new car I was researching including the exact
car and dealership. I've never used her laptop. I think the ads
are shared on all devices on the same network. I've seen ads on
mine for things she's interested in. Looks like I need to use a
VPN. Then we have the this is also an interesting one from
anonymous, I have a scenario that backs up your hypothesis on
location based sharing of information. I'm a software
engineer with many years of experience. My wife and daughter
were looking at stethoscopes that she needs one for her
nursing school. They were using my wife's laptop and she was
using her own account that is totally separate from my
account. The next day, I log on my computer with my own account
and notice an ad for a stethoscope. That's pretty
obscure right there. This is something I'm certain I've never
searched for and I found more than a little unsettling. My
wife and I spoke about this and we're now divorced. No no. And
we thought it to must have something you believe this
on the same machine? No, no, it's different machine
at work. Okay.
My wife and I spoke about this and we too thought it must be
doing something based on searches. Oh in the same house.
I'm sorry, not at work, just as you spoke of on the last show.
And also one day at work I logged on to my personal email
shortly after that I got ads for stethoscopes at work again very
unsettling I
can imagine we know if it's a different machine we'd it's
still not clear to me. Okay, I don't know from the email
because if it's the same machine a cookie could do that.
Oh, of course if it's the same machine bred in Cincinnati
pretty clean example of one way I know we're being tracked. We
recently sold our house in preparation slash staging it. We
wanted to use an air mattress on a spare bed frame to show how
bedroom would look fully configured. My wife accidentally
lead on the mattress and popped it on a sharp corner of the
middle bedframe notice how this good husband says she
accidentally popped it wasn't her fault. It was probably my
fault. I shouldn't have suggested in the first place
since we had a showing later in the day she went straight to
Cabela's and bought a new air mattress on a credit card the
next day Amazon was showing me ads for the exact brand of
mattress My wife bought the day before at a bricks and mortar
retail establishment we did no online shopping for this
product. We had no intention of buying it never talked about
buying it and didn't know online research, the only way Amazon
could get this data would be either from the retailer or the
credit card company, in this case Discover card. And either
case, they also they had to give Amazon the card number to
correlate it to me. Yeah, well, Amazon buys that data. So that
makes a lot of sense. But that didn't bring me to final emails
here. Ron says, Adam, I noticed that the ad is always for the
exact thing I bought. And this is one of my gripes, you know,
why are you showing me the ad that I just bought the product
for? He says, I think this might be to effect a bogus statistic.
Apparently, in PPC, advertising Pay Per Click conversion
tracking items purchased within 30 days of an ad run, count as a
conversion. As as
maybe thinking is done on a reverse basis.
Well, I looked it up and the payment on and this is a lot of
Google's core business as the Pay Per Click stuff, which is
why they like doing click fraud as much as possible. Let's see,
it's very murky is a lot of information about a tracking and
analytics of conversion. But when it gets to actual
conversions, and the window, they call it the conversion
window. It can vary from 30 days to 90 to 90 days. Here, clicks
conversions clicked. Where is it? Clicks conversions are
converted that happen once an ad has been clicked on, the user
completes the desired action, there can be multiple
conversions from one user, if multiple items were purchased.
Each platform tracks conversions in a different method. Now I'm,
it's possible that maybe it seems unlikely. Here the
conversion window is the time from when a user clicks on an ad
to when they actually convert each platform uses a different
window which can impact the number of conversion reported.
For example, AdWords cookies expire 90 days after a
customer's click. While Analytics uses a cookie that
lasts for up to six months, AdWords Conversions can have a
window between seven to 90 days. That means if a customer
completed a conversion after 91 days, the conversion wouldn't be
recorded. And so you wouldn't have to pay for it. Now I'm sure
there's a lot of people who know exactly how this stuff works who
are listening to the show. But I'd like to know if there's any
thinking that perhaps some of these companies are actually
doing this just to ramp up their income. It seems unlikely it
seems like once you've had the conversion and incredible waste
of resources so either they know the conversion was there they
don't know the conversion was there.
No, I think I think you're not looking at it from the
perspective of someone who might be larcenous you just bought
item gizmo and then you get the ad for the gizmo and then they
say look, he bought the gizmo and he was served an ad and he
bought the gizmo
Yeah. And then what are the
credit for gave him credit for taking credit for as if the
smell was bought because of the ad when the ad came after he
already bought it? Right? Yeah, then he did credit and say look,
advertiser did advertisers admit work because he bought your
gizmo? We have proof of that. It's
like spiking the ball.

We want to thank these people and everybody who came in under
$50 Typically for reasons of anonymity or on one of the many
subscription programs we have you talked about that in the
newsletter devora.org/na. And this is our value for value
model I mentioned earlier, how big pharma. Well, advertisers
are God and I think you had a good line The newsletter saying
people who don't donate, which is probably 98% of the audience,
maybe more. They'll say, Well, you know, if you want to make
money on your podcast, and once you get some advertising, well,
here's the reason why we don't do that. Because the advertiser
is God and you will adhere to the God of the United States,
even though we're global. I think this God thing goes for a
couple other countries as well. Certainly when it comes to
reporting on current events and news. You don't see any of the
real problems being discussed about kids killing kids in
school because we can't talk about pharmaceuticals, because
of the advertisers. So that's why our show was the way it is.
Yeah, we live and die by this show by the double edged sword
of Occam's razor. Exactly.
I do have a couple
let me let me finish it off. We got to do birthdays, you know,
we've been going
to read these are part of the donation Oh, go ahead. We did
the one that this comes from Dame Nadia. And she says I'm
having trouble finding the man who asked her biotech jobs
karma, which I think we did a couple of weeks ago or maybe a
month ago. This is she's looking for his name because her her
last lab she's a biotech person moved to New York and she was
looking for some other place to work and she's like really
talented I get by assume because very sharp. Yeah. And so if
anybody out there gave the we did that I was going to do a lot
of research goes out to spreadsheet after spreadsheet. I
said, Hey, maybe the GAO come forward, and they can talk
they can talk to each Okay, so this is a matchmaking service.
Exactly. Okay anymore.
No, that was the other one kick guy that came about by accident.

Count one. Did you see the creepy Google video?
Give me a couple of in lieu insight. Maybe I have maybe I
haven't. It's about a 10 minute video. Oh, no, I haven't seen
it. Okay.
So this video shows up. It's from it's a couple of years old.
It's about nine minutes. And it's Google giving us the kind
of a background of epigenetics. And you know, some Darwinism,
but epigenetics I have no idea.
Let's look it up. Why?
Just I was actually I'm like epigenetics journal know what
that means? I don't have to say he'll say yes. Epigenetics. Of
course, we know. Well, let's stop the story in its tracks.
And
epigenetics is study and changes in organisms caused by
modifications of gene expression, rather than
alteration of the genetic code itself. Yes. So how much? Nobody
knows that one? Okay.
All right. Well, it's the new. It's the new new,
the new to the happening thing. Okay. Well, so on
this video, it's very slow and very stylized, and very slow
music loop. And what it shows is how Google wants to control the
people. And oh, yeah. Oh, it's done by Google. Yes. And here.
So this was Google production. Yes. Oh, yeah. And Google has
answered, and I'm gonna play a couple clips from it. Google has
answered this. Oh, no, no, we a couple years back, we had these
special meetings, we get executives together. And we talk
about, you know, good and bad things like yeah, this is one
way that we, of course, it was just a training exercise, just
to see this is what we don't we never do this. Of course, that
is, it's just, it's just future dreaming. It's what we do here
at Google. We want to actually do that. That was their
response, because there's no way that if they took down one
single copy of this video, people would go apeshit. I'm
going to play the relevant bits for you as this is, this is
really a benefit of listening to the no agenda show. So you don't
have to sit through this whole thing because it's pretty
tedious. To listen to this,
to this entire
video and to watch it, here we go setting it up. So that just
the pertinent bits from it's called the selfish ledger. I'll
just explain that a little bit. The idea is that just like DNA,
we are containers of this epigenetic information, which is
data. And this data, things we learn, such as don't touch a hot
stove, I don't know it could be or how we respond in certain
circumstances or where we want to live. The concept of
epigenetics is that that is passed down through generations.
And eventually, you'll have generations of kids who
understand the stove would even go close to it, even though
they've never been burned, or would always want to live in a
cave or whatever it is. Here's the intro.
So hold on. So this is this is the way they're presenting is a
form of genetic memory.
Correct? Correct.
Correct, may be considered a Lamarckian epigenome a
constantly evolving representation of who we are.
Okay. So what they're saying is, when you collect all the data,
that you're the trail of data, you leave them behind, we can
figure out exactly what that means. And when we have this
ledger, we can start modifying your behavior with suggestions,
initially, the notion of
a second version of this being the OTG segment.
Well, the whole show is an OTG segment at this point, I just
say just seemed like it would be nice in that package, because it
seems that this is this would be a complaint of yours. Yes,
it well. That's why I have a multi clip, comp a large
package.
We may continue, I'm sorry for interrupting. That's okay.
Initially, the notion of a goal oriented ledger may be user
driven. As an organization, Google would be responsible for
offering suitable targets for a user's ledger. Whilst the notion
of a global good is problematic, topics would likely focus on
health or environmental impact to reflect Google's values as an
organization. Once the user selects a volition for their
ledger, every interaction may be compared to a series of parallel
options. If one of these options allows the ledger to move closer
to its goal, it will be offered up to the user. Over time by
selecting these options, the users behavior may be modified,
and the legend moves closer to its target. As this line of
thinking accelerates. And the notion of a goal driven ledger
becomes more palatable. Suggestions may be converted not
by the user. But by the ledger itself. In this case, the ledger
is missing a key data source which it requires in order to
better understand this user. In order to plug the gap in its
knowledge. The Ledger begin searching for a device which
delivers the required data when used. From this list, the ledger
begin sorting the options most likely to appeal to the user in
question.
Okay, so you understand what they're saying is pretty much
what they're doing now.
Yes, pretty much what they're doing now, being it just being
it.
And now they'll get into the this. How important the data is
like DNA it's passed on through the generations by thinking
of user data as multigenerational, it becomes
possible for emerging users to benefit from the preceding
generations behaviors and decisions. As new users enter an
ecosystem, they begin to create their own trail of data. By
comparing this emergent ledger with the mass of historical user
data, it becomes possible to make increasingly accurate
predictions about decisions and future behaviors. As cycles of
collection and comparison extend, it may be possible to
develop a species level understanding of complex issues
such as depression, health and poverty. Our ability to
interpret user data, combined with the exponential growth in
sensor enabled objects will result in an increasingly
detailed account of who we are as people sensor enables these
streams of information are brought together, the effect is
multiplied, new patents become apparent and new predictions
become possible.
I love that they they denounce this, oh, we'd never do that is
what they denounced it, it sounds exactly like what they're
doing. And what they should be doing. If they're trying to do
what they're trying to do is just take over the world with a
bunch of global warming nonsense. Here's the
wrap up, we're at the very beginning of our journey of
understanding in the field of user data. By applying our
knowledge of epigenetics, inheritance and mimetics to this
field, we may be able to make mental leaps in our
understanding, which could offer benefits to this generation to
future generations and the species as a whole
band to Google of course. So now you didn't creepy
music is what makes or like, doubles up the creep.
Yeah, and it's it's pretty well produced it looks like they
actually went out and shot new Pete man on the street crowd
footage you know people walking around with phones data coming
in, you know, it's all very consistent TV people working
there consistent footage out for sure.
Just, you know, I just love that they just denounce it. Well,
they liars now.
Well, they are they also I've changed the the word AI. Instead
of artificial intelligence, I'm calling it artificial
interpretation. I was playing with that Microsoft throughout
the weekend, you know, trying to get it to work properly the the
open source talking tube, which is pretty good, except it
doesn't have an array.
And it all of it is just interpretation. I think we
should continue to use that term. I'm not gonna use it
doesn't make any sense to me.
It's artificial interpretation is exactly what it is. It's
interpreting the
I would use the term bullshit rather than I used to do one of
those two terms.
skip logic bullshit.
Oh, shit. I did have a thought, though. For any any dudes named
Ben out there who want to make some real artificial
interpretation bullshit. Why not have a bot that connects to my
IMAP server, which also tells me when an email is marked, Read or
Unread, or etc. and train it that way? It seems like the
thing that you could really change the world. You know, if
you could fix email, it really I would be so happy. I think
it's positive feel working on this constantly. No, no,
I Well, sure that we have spam, the Bayesian spam logic, which
is kind of the core of artificial intelligence, or as
you call it bullshit. And I agree. I'm agreeing with you on
that. But you know, it seems like if you fix that, if you
really fix what each individual person deems is important. That
will be a revolution.
So no, I don't think they're working on it.
Or we started an email company. There's our reaction strategy.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's like, that was a billionaire and got into
aviation. Now. I'm a millionaire. So in the jungle,
you broke, we need to get we need to get into an email
companies. What could possibly go wrong?
No, I don't think so. Anyway,
I think it's I think it's a damn damning evidence that that
Google is out to change our behavior on mass, and they're
very capable of doing it today.
Yeah, and they're probably doing it as we speak. Yeah, they're
all you know, heel bots. So what are you going to do? So we have
our local store. We got Livi. Shaft versus Trump if you want
to play a little back to the news was Libby Schaff. They'll
be chefs the mayor of Oakland.
Oh, yes.
Mayor Libby Schaaf has answered back to President Trump's
comments suggesting that the Department of Justice should
investigate her for a possible obstruction of justice that
stems from her alerting the community in February about
upcoming ICE raids. NBC Bay Area's Christy Smith spoke with
shaft today about her op ed in The Washington Post.
Oakland Mayor Libby chef is meeting with neighbors today
outside of barbershop to hear their concerns. Part of her
mobile Mayor program.
Lots of times I
get thanked for warning my community about an impending ice
raid. But sometimes people just want to talk about the pothole
on their street.
She's talking about that morning in February that immediately
drew anger from President Trump. She said she wanted people to be
prepared, not panicked and know their rights. This week,
President Trump directed this suggestion at Attorney General
Jeff Sessions.
I mean, you're talking about obstruction of justice, I would
recommend that you look into obstruction of justice for the
mayor of Oakland, California Do you have
I'm surprised that the President continues to obsess with his
vindictiveness about trying to hold me up on charges.
Chef is responding. She explains her position in the washington
post op ed in it. She says she's not obstructing justice. She's
seeking it. She says paper reached out to her.
That's what the kicker was. Yes. The Washington Post reached out
to her. So in other words, they had pre written some anti
Trump's greed. They call her up and say hey, you know we you
know, you're getting slammed by the President and we want you to
write an op ed for us we have some ideas. Yeah. Like this. You
want to you want like this, you want to look it over maybe and
maybe give us a like to you know, put your your your twist
on it and we'll we'll write it and you get to be in a
newspaper. It's like aggressive.
That's what they do. That's their rights. The Free Press
right to a free press. Free Press. Hey, you know, I told you
this story and you were seeing no evidence of it, which is, you
know, it's California a whole different country. Maryland
seafood industry loses 40% of workforce in visa lottery.
Nearly half of the eastern shores crab houses have no crab
Tolka hmm. Yeah, so what happened? Now I understand the
story a little better, is the visa lottery for the H two B
visas used to be first come first serve and the company
who needs to hire age to be compared to age one
bit h two B is a temporary worker for seasonal. This is
what Trump uses at Trump at Mar a Lago. And as other places. You
bring in seasonal people from mainly Mexico, and they have a
visa and then they're supposed to go back
and to be temporary non egg workers.
Right? This is not an egg. This is seafood.
So that used to be you could get in early. Okay, I need to know I
need 15 Or do 250 of these visas. Now that changed. I don't
know why I'm not sure exactly what happened, but apparently is
now being done on a lottery basis. So you're allocated
whatever you can get as an employer. Yeah, and I don't know
why that change was made. But now there seems to be a huge
shortage of workers, particularly in the cropping
business.
They can't get any Americans out of you know, this list.
Yeah. This is my question. What? Why? Why don't we see if anyone
else wants to do this?
What is wrong with us? Us? No, I mean, come on kids. No, it's
just, but no. crabcakes?
Especially back East. That's where crabcakes are the best.
I got no crabcakes. Baby crabcakes. Yes, Maryland for
sure. Is there fantastic. His soft shell crab would be the
other loss. No, I love softshell crab.
There was a woman on Tucker Carlson show. And I think I've
cut him out. So it doesn't count as a Tucker clip. She's from
live action. She's the president Lila rose. And it was about
Planned Parenthood and Title X. And, you know, of course, you
know, the Republicans dimension a all just incensed about
Planned Parenthood, you know, this money they're getting for
abortions. The story, though, isn't really about the
abortions. And this was an eye opener for me, I'm sure. I'm
probably going to play this clip and go like, Hey, you didn't
know that. But I certainly never thought about it this way.
Because Planned Parenthood know this. Yeah, no plan, I don't
even know what you're gonna play, I just get to say just get
out of the way just so got a half, half a billion dollars
annually for Medicare, from Medicare. But there's to me that
they really have two organizations, the people asking
for money as a separate 501 C four, which is a lobbying
organization. But there's hundreds of millions, and they
probably bring in eight or 900 billion a year for their
operation. But they really only need a few 100 million to
perform what they're performing. And it doesn't matter what they
do.
It's ridiculous. There are literally 1000s of federally
qualified health centers that are far more qualified to
provide holistic care that don't commit abortions that could
receive both a Medicaid reimbursement money and title 10
money and there are other providers that can receive that
money. The DNC isn't the pocket of Planned Parenthood. And when
once they get there half a billion dollars of money a year
from taxpayers because of the Democrats unfortunately right
now and the Republicans in some ways, enabling it by not
fighting it enough. Then at the same then they turn around and
fun the Democrats in their election. So it's a real pass
through of money.
See, this is what this is what I hadn't figured out the way the
reason why they want Planned Parenthood around is not because
they don't want to kill unborn children. I don't think they
care. Really. The idea is, you get all this money through
legislation flows into parenthood, Planned Parenthood,
they use several 100 million of it and the rest they use to flow
into the campaign's of the next round of douchebags who are
going to again put in laws that more money comes in flows into
the DNC, yes. Huge scam. And I'm sure that there's I'm sure the
Republic maybe that's what the NRA does. I don't know it's very
possible. Although I don't think the NRA
gets government money and kind of money. They don't get
government money, right? But
that's like, oh, and I heard you in my head going. But you don't
know this.
scam. It's
a scam. But this also hit me like oh, now I understand what
the problem is. We're following dead babies. Instead of
following the money stupid. We need to forget the dead babies.
Look at the money. Get in the way. It's just getting in the
way. Truly not
about dead babies. We have. We have this little thing going I
won't get this out of the way.
This is my best transition ever. Speaking of dead babies,
stated dead babies.
called Bad segway? Yeah. So Vinod Khosla who we know from
Kleiner Perkins, he used to be one of the hot shots at Kleiner
Perkins and it became a big kind of a feud between him and John
Doar. And coastal is trying to get door kicked out and doors
trying to get him kicked out and door one and became chairman of
Kleiner Perkins. Everybody else is kind of retired, and coast to
start his own operation. And it's somewhere along the line,
he bought some beachfront property. Yeah, and and he's and
there's one road to the ended surfers love the surf that area
just in front of his property, which he claims his his and
there shouldn't be anybody on this beach and it's been a big
scandal and it has to do with the road that he's blocked. It's
his road and he's blocked it too. He can't drive out to this
beach and surf. And it's just a douchebag city the whole thing
but I clip this in to show you what happens when I know he
sounds so innocent. This whole thing is very interesting story.
He's a hero to would be founders and entrepreneurs posing for
photos after his keynote speech at a startup competition in San
Francisco. But 30 Miles Sal folks have a bit of a different
opinion of a nod Khosla.
He put up the gate and started wrestling surfers,
the billionaire founder of Sun Micro was at the center of the
controversy over public access to Martins beach. The beach is
public. The only road to get there is not absolutely and
Khosla wants to keep it that way. It's strictly a matter of
principle. It's the first time we've heard from Khosla himself
on the issue, which he says is not about beach access but
private property. He pointed us to this blog he wrote defending
his position and criticizing what he called unfair media
coverage.
Do you know, open beach access has never existed on that
property ever.
He explained, the former owners only allowed access to people
who paid for parking. It was a business. But when Khosla bought
it, he says the state said he couldn't make basic business
decisions, things like changing hours of operation or the $10
fee.
And you know, the courts have ruled there's no public access.
But in a separate suit, the Surfrider Foundation argues even
if it is private property, if he wants to close the gate or
charge more for parking, it's quote, development and Khosla
should have to get a permit.
Because like everybody else,
even though it's his own private property, even though
your own private car, you gotta get a driver's license.
Robert Coughlin of the Surfrider Foundation says the issue is
access,
just want access to the ocean. Ghoshal argues
the state could have bought the property itself, instead letting
him buy it been restricting his rights. I think he knew
everything that he was getting into cashless now taking his
case to the Supreme Court. And if he wins, it could ultimately
affect the entire California coast. If you win, this could
set a precedent for coastal access statewide. Does that
bother you?
Absolutely bothers me. But we need, of course, a commission
that works with property owners to follow the law.
Still, he says he doesn't want to restrict access, but it's a
matter of principle. You know,
sometimes, I'd rather do the harder right team. Then the
easier wrong time.
self righteousness.
Oh, totally. Oh my god.
Yeah. Well, wouldn't you know, as you said, we only need one
leader. One liter to come up with some pitchforks.
Oh, yeah. We need to do a mouse a tune of the homeless. And the
surfers for that matter. I don't
know why the surfers are pretty they're pacifist. And laid back
bruh laid back, man.
It's okay man. I can walk.
Alright, you guys think else because I'm
just the indie bookstore story. I'll put that it's a very
unusual situation.
I'm interested in the indie bookstore. Yes, just play that
last story for the day.
Across the country. The last Saturday in April is independent
bookstore day. There are about 1700 of them in the US. A decade
ago. They appear to be on the verge of extinction. But in
recent years, hundreds have opened. 22 Kobo has more on
America's indie bookstore boom.
I am a mom. And I frequently
lie to my children.
On a Thursday night in the Grange, Illinois comedy fans
were all but rolling in the aisles. Which is good news if
you're selling what's in those aisles. That's right. This is a
bookstore. Thanks so much for coming at you helped me draw the
connection between books and comedy shows because we host a
lot of different events. It's good for business but it's also
good for our community.
Becky Anderson is a co owner of Anderson in books, which began
as a pharmacy and has been in her family for five generations,
it's now a small successful chain in the Chicago area. And
it turns out that stores like this are helping Harvard
Business School Professor Ryan Rafi le solve an economic
mystery, often say these are stories of hope. He set out to
explain why the number of independent bookstores has been
growing up every year since 2009. Despite cheaper, more
convenient ways to buy books online, and national chain
stores. And with e readers. What Rafi le found is that successful
bookstores remember, yes, like Anderson's win with a local
appeal, a curated selection and as many as 500 events a year.
They've also been sensitive, and had the ability to adapt and
reactivate some of the values that were there that may have
been muted in a race towards trying to have the cheapest and
largest inventory. But books
real physical books are still the main attraction.
So many people spend so much time on devices that when it
comes to reading for pleasure, they don't want to read from a
device. The best thing about a book is you can't get email on
it, and you can't put it up to your ear. So good.

finally good doing some I'm getting a clue from the network

Yes. Yeah. And we got some good mixes Sir Chris Wilson, Tom
