What is an artisan?
Your guys who make pots.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
June 27 2013 Time for your gizmo nation media assassination
episode five to five. This is no agenda. A full fledged member of
the Flat Earth Society here in the traverse high tide out in
Austin, Texas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and I'm from Northern Silicon Valley, the mecca of something.
I'm John C. Dvorak. Vaughn Buzzkill.
Use your new moniker man. Are you good? The mecca of something
great. And that's just great.
That sucked. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, a little bit. Okay.
So it's warm out there. You said earlier? Oh, really? What war?
What is warm is that 80? Is that what's warm? 80 is
hot for us. Because of the nature of the barometric
pressure and the humidity and the variables. It's very
different. It's and we don't have any cooling mechanisms.
You have no air conditioning, right? That's sort of the main
problem. But that's okay.
It's winding up. This will be hot for a few days. And then
generally speaking, traditionally, on July the
forest just before the fireworks, yeah, the fog rolls.
And that's
right. And then you can see the fireworks. I know. We were in
San Francisco for two July fours. And it's like we there's
one building that has a party on the rooftop. Remember that? You
could just see pew pew. A couple of rockets just come on above
the fog layer. Funny, that doesn't matter. Because it'll I
presume the city is just one big party right now. Have you not
gone down to the to the district? If not
news? Yeah, I
must admit everyone must be going insane.
And I'm sure they're all crediting the fact that it's a
conservative Supreme Court. It's funny, notice it, anyone said
no, no, no, no, I
saw some of my Obama bought friends. You know, their brain
was getting scrambled like, I don't understand how was it
possible? What how can the Republican guys do this? You
know, man, I mean, I spent so much time yesterday
understanding what actually went down and for those of you who
are who are new to the program, and I'm sure a lot of listeners
from other countries probably only got the news in the
following manner. Highest Court in America says gay marriage.
Okay. I think that's probably the message actly
what they said, but yeah, but
Well, no, that's that's what the news is. I'm pretty sure that's
what the news is. Yeah. And that's how it's being accepted.
But this is not about marriage at all. I don't I don't think
people understand the significance of what happened
here. I mean, what is your take on this John as a as a gay man
yourself? What is your take on?
It's a time to celebrate? Run around in a circle waving your
arms? today? Yay. Yeah, yeah, no, no, there's
there's a lot of things going on here with this. This is the
Defense of Marriage Act. And it is kind of that
was doomed that we knew is gonna get chucked out. But they had to
two things. One was in California, we had proper
opposition. Yeah. Which was the initiative that we didn't allow
gay marriage in California and kept get voting you they they
kept, you know, this is going to come up again. Because the
here's the way that the thing went down to begin with some
time back. I can't remember what the original proposition was.
But it voted gay marriage out. You want gay marriage go
someplace else. And so everyone was you know, the gays roll
around about this, but everyone was nobody else was, didn't
think much about so there. So they went to court and they did
some craziness. And they got to think thrown out and referendums
and initiatives in California are really important. We liked
the idea that we can just vote in a law. So there was a
backlash against the back door, removal of this initiative. And
so they came up with Prop Eight, and then they voted it in. And
so then they again, there's no gay marriage, and they were and
I think the reason it got voted into the second time was because
the certain liberal elements of the society were gloating about
it, I can't do anything about it now and one of the main one was
Gavin Gavin Newsom. And so they voted it again. So now went to
the Supreme Court now they got thrown out again, because it got
it's gonna, this is never going to
win. Let me back up for a second because what you need to
understand in this and this is what I found, I found the
process to me as a government legislation analyst is really
kind of fun. So when you look at what exactly is the DOMA as it's
called, I'm bet you if you went on the street and ask people
that 90% wouldn't even know what have stood for but
they know what they would encounter around here, they
would say it's a stuffed grape leaf.
And it's tasty. DOMA the Defense of Marriage Act that by itself
is it fits on one page, it fits on half a page actually. And
what it did is it added a number of paragraphs, actually, to,
specifically to the US law and kind of the rulebook at the very
beginning of our United States Code. So that's all of the law.
It has a number of definitions, we talked about one of the
previous show, which is the definition of what a person is
US persons. And so that's in there. And it says, you know, a
person is a company, a corporation, so all the things
that everyone always laughs about, it actually says that
there, and the Defense of Marriage Act, which was signed
into law in 1996, by President Bill Clinton, has two additions
to the definition. One is section, paragraph two, which
shows up as I think paragraph seven in the actual US Code says
no state territory or possession of the United States or Indian
tribes shall be required to give effect to any public act record
or judicial proceeding of any other state, territory,
possession or tribe, respecting relationship between persons of
the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of
such other state territory, possession, or tribe or a right
or claim, arising from such relationship. This has been left
in place and was not ruled on by the Supreme Court. And the way I
understand that kind of long text is no state has the right
over any other state, which is kind of how it's supposed to
work in our Federalist system. Right? Section three is the one
that the Supreme Court has deemed unconstitutional. And
what that exactly means is what I'd like to talk about. But let
me read specifically section three. And this is, and this
happens a lot when, when Judge In fact, most lawsuits are about
the meaning of the word. And this is why we love talking
about words, we look up the definition of words all the
time. So the definition of marriage, which you can find in
many dictionaries, and many dictionaries have different
definitions. In fact, interesting that the Supreme
Court did not reference any dictionaries in this case, the
definition of marriage, according to and this was added
as paragraph seven, the addendum, the last definition,
before we get to the US Code, in determining the meaning of any
act of Congress, or of any ruling regulation or
interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and
agencies of the United States. The word marriage means only a
legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife,
and the word spouse refers only to a person of the opposite sex
whose me who was a husband or wife. Now, here's what I find
interesting. Everyone's jumping up and down celebrating saying,
Oh, yes, the Supreme Court has deemed this unconstitutional.
Well, so here is the key. To me the key point and of course, you
know, there's lots of other things that we need to talk
about specifically when it comes to when you know, what defines
marriage. But the Supreme Court didn't write a new law, a new
phrase, they didn't say, oh, you know, it can be one person of
any gender. They just said, this is under the voted in rule, this
is unconstitutional. And this is now and this is what surprises
me, been taken by everyone is off perfect done part time. I
get to file joint taxes. And everyone's like, loving the fact
that now you know that they're being ruled over even more by
the government. But strangely enough, aren't we supposed to
isn't Congress in charge of doing this? Does the supreme
court now decide who's in charge? Are they now do they
determine law?
Well, they are the oversight of the of the laws and yeah, they
can do that is what they do. And so once three parts of the of
the government, there's the judicial executive and the
legislative and any one of them can't can can create laws,
right? So they don't, but the Supreme Court doesn't do it out
of the blue.
Right. So So now, okay, but don't they need to put because
I've read both the dissent and the the what does it call the
the opinion and the dissenting opinion? Yeah, okay. So as a bi
curious male here's my question. I am Can I not? No, say that I
am being discriminated against because I am torn obviously, and
it is LGB B T. So I'm a I'm bisexual. In the making? I'm
still bi curious, but when I become bisexual, do I then not
have the right to be married to both a man and a woman?
And can I think there's Another US Code about bigamy. They are
not begging me yeah bigamy where you can't be married to two
people at the same time. I think it's a different part of the
law.
And let me ask you a specific question. Why is that?
Well, I've always been against it.
But I'm asking you a question. Why is the government involved
in marriage at all? What what does
it say that, you know, marriage, the government should be
involved in, in in essentially, licensing businesses. So you
know, these these relationships where you you form a kind of a
joint operation? You're Yeah,
when we, we have companies, we have companies with multiple
shareholders, there was
between two people, the the churches are the only ones that
really because it's kind of a religious thing to get married,
per se.
But that's what's happening. I'm not interested in that. I'm
interested in why the government specific government
has to make determine it, because it's in their best
interest. I have some clue and some rigid rules about how they
dole out their their compensation when they you got
somebody on a health care plan, does your wife get part of it?
And what is your wife's a guy and you're a guide? Does he get
part of it? It's a mess.
Stay with me, this is this is exactly what I want to
understand. At what point did it become an incentive? And to be
married? And why has the government been sponsoring this?
I mean, it's not it's not about children, because we don't have
rules about how many it's not China. There's no rules about
how many kids you can or can't have? What is the whole thing
seems to be enslavement to me the whole concept?
Well, I think that's what it amounts to. But what it what it
stems from is doling out benefits. Right? Because if you
are a slave, yes, you have to get you know that you get they
got to give you a food they got to give you some bowl of
porridge, right. And so that that takes the form of health
care and in today's world, because it's so it's, it's
ridiculously expensive in the United States that we are our
greatest health care system was a complete scam. Based, you
know, because of the it's just a scam. Let's face it, right. And
so they, they this is the whole gay marriage thing to me has
always been about benefits. So they,
yes, and here's the thing. I see my, my gay friends, they're
they're extremely happy that now they can file jointly. And in
some cases, that's very beneficial. But I can just see
that this doesn't will this not open up? This? Is this is gonna
go on forever now. Because why would you not have the right to
have a polyamorous marriage?
I think that would be the next step.
And by the way, there's, you know, the Mormons are, you know,
there's a lot of people who already kind of live that way.
And this has to be the next step. Because this is about
discrimination of benefits. And what difference does it make?
Can I can I not have a great family with you know, maybe, you
know, maybe Mickey wants to husband's it. What is wrong
about that? Do you just let's just be really honest about the
conversation. You can't say that that's not okay.
You can't keep up on
what's gonna extend the offer to you, but you know, blow it now.
Good luck. So, this to me, no, I'm very interested in talking
to the choir here. I've always thought that again, the problem
is simple, is like now let's say you are a guy who, you know, you
can maintain a relationship with five women. I mean, these Mormon
guys have done it. Many of them the women are happy because they
don't have one guy hounding them all the time for sex. This is
one hottie
just generalized for a moment here. Yeah. Fact.
So any fact so. So let's say the guy's got seven wives. And he's
doing a good job with them. He's managing this operates like a
corporation. And he's got like, 40 kids, right. And now he goes
to work for you know, they are TSA, and they got to give
benefits to like seven wives and kids, you know, what that would
cost them? The guys make, we would make 50,000 a year and
beginning a million dollars worth of benefits. They're not
gonna put up with this.
Right. Right. Well, the whole thing to me and I watched, there
were two sessions. One Well, there were multiple things the
President called some people from from Air Force One. I mean,
it was, it was pretty, it's a very joyous occasion.
gratulations but my bullshit detector went off so bad. And it
it. This has the Defense of Marriage Act, as I understand it
has never really been about gay marriage. It's always about who
has the right to decide about gay marriage. Is it the states?
Is it Congress, or is it the Supreme Court? I believe that
the state should have the full reign over that.
Most of the analysis I've seen say that the states still do,
and they did throw out the California deal. So that can be
but that can be reversed with another law, right? But there's
36 Like 34 states that prohibit gay marriage and they everyone
says that that's still in play, you're still prohibited from gay
marriage in these states. And so I don't see that anything's
really changed. The only reason for celebration in San Francisco
is because that again, they we've gone through this process
where the specific law that was passed in in California has been
overturned is null and void. So there was gonna go crazy getting
married over, you know, this was the this was done on The
Simpsons episode where, where they pass gay marriage in a home
or started doing marriages, and he was making money hand over
fist. Hey, Ron. Yeah, I mean, this is a way to where they're
low donations, we
can we're, we're both licensed, right? I'm like, yeah, 100 bucks
a pop Universal Life Church, we can do all kinds of marriages.
Yeah. And of course, you get all kinds of extreme examples. And
yes, this has always been about the whole thing stems from a
lawsuit, which is kind of funny, because there was lawsuit and
the woman's partner died. And this woman, I forget her name
she, Edwina. She had to pay $350,000 in taxes, which he
would not have had to pay if they had been legally married.
That's that's really what this is about. Let's not overlook
that.
Right. And I think that there was a reasonably good idea for a
lawsuit. And yes, it was horrible that you get screwed.
But what's interesting is that everyone agreed. The
administration agreed, and everyone's like, yeah, that's no
good. That's no good. That's no good. But they, they, they took
it. In fact, that's even what the dissenting document says,
Why, why is this case here? Everyone agrees? Why do we have
to make a decision? And I think,
yeah, they were a little irked by this. Yeah. And I know they
sent most of it back down. But you need to
people need to understand that. Yeah, we're really happy about
this. But what will it be next time that the Supreme Court just
decides to, you know, is going to be the law? That's what I
think we need to be a little bit careful about. What
not buying, what do you mean, you're not buying it and not
worry about anything? I mean, it's just the way it is. So
where the system works, it has this these elements I think is
over, you know, overplayed? I think Aaron was a little too
enthusiastic. But you know, they you can they they're just
looking for an excuse to party.
That's really what it is. It's just an excuse to party. I don't
know. I don't know either
way. So you said you got my clips. And you said use use?
You've got the same clip. And I can look at my clipless and tell
you which one or two it is no, you get one?
Yes. And one guess only ShotSpotter? No.
Oh, the spinning mommy. Yes.
I was saving that for second half when we can't talk about
that. You want to say that? I want to bring something up then
then apparently. And today's show my theme is going to be
questions that the media supposed to ask and none of them
asked. Okay. All right. Yeah. So I got there's a play the clip
the al Qaeda, this is crack me up when I heard this,
apparently, because of Snowden. Al Qaeda is already changing the
way it does business.
While this is happening. I'm seeing one of the first reports
from the Associated Press that goes into detail about how al
Qaeda specifically, the group, the al Qaeda group in Yemen, is
already changing the way that they're operating. Due to the
information for the leaks. There's a lot of play here,
Ambassador, where I have time for today. Thank you so much.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, that's nothing. That's nothing. Are you kidding me?
Let's look.
I was gonna Well, no,
no, hold on. Hold on. Let me bring out the Waterhead for a
second. And you know who I'm talking about. John Fitzgerald,
John Fitzgerald, Carrie. Okay. Why watermelon had,
what I see is an individual who threatened his country and put
Americans at risk through the acts that he took, people may
die as a consequence of what this man did. I have it is
possible the United States will be attacked, because terrorists
may now know how to protect themselves in some way or
another that they didn't know before. This is a very dangerous
ad.
So don't use pal talk is basically the message Yeah, that
was my punch line. You stepped on it. I'm
sorry. I didn't know you had a punch line from my clip.
No, I had a punch line from my clip, which was the same as a
punch line for your title change. And because this is
bullcrap. I mean, we got one week after the spring breaks,
and all of a sudden they're so on top of alkaitis making all
these changes while they drone them if they know so much. And
let me
say I have changed a behavior. I am Yes, I am. I've disconnected
certain computers from the network. You know, I already run
my own mail server. And this, of course, is the definition of
tyranny that the government of the United States is not just
placing upon ah Some American citizens but the entire world
and and a lot of people are worried to the Germans, in fact
are very worried about this. They're the only ones actually
saying anything about it. But I am no longer carrying around a
cell phone. And of course there are some cases where I where I
will need to travel and have a phone. But I'm just using a Wi
Fi enabled device here at home and if I go out I'll take a Wi
Fi thing and I if I need to connect I can there's no way if
you don't if you want to call me Tough shit, and you just you
can't call me. You can't text me. I just refuse to be listened
to I refuse to be tracked. And it's not even if they're doing
it in real time. I just refuse to have a log of me where I am.
I'm just I'm just not gonna stand
up to anyway I have to curry have lots
of things to hide. Lots of things to hide. here's the
here's the Germans. This is a German minister I think European
Parliament member who's who sounds pretty funny, but he's
right.
GCHQ is alleged to have tapped into fiber optic cables that
carry international communications traffic that's
caused anger among some allies.
Our concerns are that friends are spying on us. And we want to
know is there a legal basis and a central casting
our friend spying on us you have a check it out though this it
gets creepy.
Are you spying on any Germans? Is there a judge involved?
But despite all the controversies and criticisms,
today, the chancellor announced more money for the intelligence
services, including mi six based here and the foreign secretary
in America gave a speech in which he defended their work.
Let us
be clear about it in both our countries. I love the
performative let us be clear about it. Intelligence tech work
takes place within a strong legal framework. We operate
under the rule of law and are accountable for it. In some
countries, secret intelligence is used to control their people.
In ours, it only exists to protect their freedoms, you
know, so I heard I heard this. And I'm like, if we just he
flubbed that billiard ball guy, if the billiard ball got if we
just take away the little flub in the beginning, if we slow him
down about 5% If we give him a little bit of echo, and we put
some maniacal music underneath him, he's perfect.
intelligence work takes place within a strong legal framework.
We operate under the rule of law and are accountable for it. In
southern countries secret intelligence is used to control
their people in ours, it only exists to protect their
freedoms, protect their freedom, protect their freedoms, protect
their freedom.
I think the guy's a winner.
Well, that's clip of the day it was produced though. I like it.
You never produce anything
I'll take it thank you very much. I appreciate that.
You may be a yeah up the ante is producing
I spent at least 45 I swear to God, I heard the guy going like,
protect their freedoms, like holy crap, and I slowed him down
a little bit put some echo on him like the guy
music was good in the Echo was ideal.
The guy is the guy is a total.
Okay, wait so good. Again. Oh, wow.
Okay, I get that again. Maybe Oh, my goodness. Here we go.
intelligence work takes place within a strong legal framework.
We operate under the rule of law and are accountable for it. In
southern countries secret intelligence is used to control
their people in ours. It only exists to protect their
freedoms, protect their freedoms, protect their
freedoms, protect the freedom and I
was looking for the whole the wasn't on C span. I mean, he's
he said this somewhere in America, and I couldn't find the
clips only had with this to work with and I'm sure we can do more
with him. He's
such a creep.
You think is super creepy? Super creepy.
Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, well, it's all downhill from
here
Wow, how fast we go from gay marriage to protect your
freedoms and that's what it's all about, ladies and gentlemen.
Just to protect your freedoms have no fear. Ah yeah, it's it's
this morning was making our talking I said Yeah, I think the
Unabomber was really right. I come back I read his manifesto
from time to time then it's the fun one is the the type that you
there's a PDF of the typed up you know his his actual typing,
because it gives a little more context to how twisted his book
Rain was but really, I mean, the guy was a genius who's certified
was Harvard or Stanford,
I think was at Harvard Harvard. Friend of mine knew him and
found it. Unbelievable that he'd become such a such a maniac
because he thought he said he was one of the smartest people
I've ever met in his life. Yeah. And I guess he just some
flipped.
Well, he saw the writing on the wall. And, of course, you know,
you know, Obama, he was bombing University was trying to stop
the tech people from buying into technology. And this morning, I
was like, they said, Do we really benefited from all of
this information and all the things we now know, and I make
less
money. But I think the internet screwed us all. It's just the
way it goes. But you know, things happen, things change.
What
do you mean screwed us all?
I think it's screwed us. I don't think we I don't think we've I
think our time is being sucked away, like with the Facebook
addicts, and all this kind of thing. And I don't notice that
I'm better organized with all the computing power, I have the
fact it's a mess in this room. And it's just I think we've been
screwed, I think, and everything's cheap. And I mean,
you can't do writers don't make as much money because
everybody's a writer, and they're all bloggers, and some
people are actually pretty talented at it. Artists are
making less money, everybody's making less money, except CEOs,
and they're making way too much corzan And they're gonna get
screwed when if there's anything, you know, the public
begins to riot and put their heads on a stick, which could
happen
I had with it's funny you say that I had a thought about the
CEOs and I was thinking this dismay. Start in Silicon Valley.
If you look at let's look at the Snowden affair, and by the way,
what's with the Mr. Snowden business? Did a memo go out that
everyone has to say Mr. Snowden, Mr. Snowden, Mr. Snowden, have
you noticed this?
Yeah, I've noticed I don't know what I
don't know what the deal is with that. But maybe maybe he was a
hitman all along. And maybe this is this is the beginning of
going after the the the corporates, the dissenters, the
ones who need to be reined in? Like hey, sure, be careful
Google you know we can we can have the slaves riot against
you. There's all kinds of possibility you see the the Ars
Technica stuff that came out about Snowden about they
magically have a, an IRC chat log from when he was from 2006.
I think, Gee, I wonder where they got that. And yeah, and
he's, well, there's no I don't think there's any mentioned the
article where that comes from, and he's freaking out about the
CIA leaking stuff. It's, you know, and he's like, wow, I
would shoot those guys in the balls and there's all this
really weird stuff. It's of course, he was NSA contractor.
So seems like he may have flipped. I mean, there's so many
parameters to this the one thing that definitely happening is
we've been distracted away from the true issue. And so while
we're talking about is, you know, is he in NYC in the Moscow
airport hotel, he's he in China.
Watch these idiots go on and on. In fact, I have a couple of
clips just to prove your point. Yeah, please, that they're
they're preoccupied with this bull crap. And here's the let's
see, we got to. We got to McCain clip. Let's start with that.
Okay, always fun to hear our douchebag he's been
hiding out ever since admitting to leaking information on our
government secret surveillance programs. Snowden is wanted in
the United States on charges of espionage. Just yesterday. We
mentioned this on the show. But just to remind you, Russian
President Vladimir Putin confirmed for the first time
that Snowden is in a Moscow airport and he said he still
Snowden is still
asked a question. Now, did you see him say this? No. Did you
see a piece of paper Did you see your representative you see
anything or other than just the
knowledge there's a piece of there's a fact that McCain
throws out that I've never heard easy. You'll see you're here to
stands out like a sore thumb. And it's all bull crap this
transit area and hasn't gone through immigration. So he's not
in Russia, who did rejecting calls to extradite Snowden to
the United States getting this reaction from Arizona senator
John McCain.
Did you notice report first was that he wasn't in Russia? That's
the classic old Soviet Union doublespeak? No technically
because he was in the lounge at the airport. He was not
technically in Russia. Look at this. This is the kind of Cold
War old Soviet speak kind of behavior that has characterized
Colonel Putin colonel in the KGB. For a long time, we just
refused to recognize it and we keep pushing that reset button.
And now maybe we'll wake up and have a realistic approach to our
relations with Russia.
So Mrs. You want us to do bomb them
yet well, Mr. Oil is In the back channel here telling me that he
saw Putin on television. And Putin was basically making a big
joke out of it. But yeah, he's in transit. He's not here.
Yeah. I mean, who these guys do, I mean,
well, this is this is the problem and we have become the
laughingstock. We'll play
the Bolton clip if you want to hear the laughingstock now, boy,
and let's tell everyone who Bolton is again.
Bolton was our ex US ambassador, I was considered a douche bag
when he was running one of the departments in the in
Washington, DC and the government, but he gives a
really great speech about the 10th amendment. Well, he's got
on the right side of the argument. But funny thing is, in
this situation, he's on the wrong side of the argument. And
he's, he's back to being a douchebag.
Ambassador, John Bolton, former US ambassador to the UN and a
Fox News contributor, and he just admitted to us during
break, he's been to the Moscow airport, many times ambassador
and we keep on saying, Edward Snowden is in this, like, it
seems sort of legitimate place like, Oh, he's just in the
grocery store. He's just on the street. I mean, what what are we
really talking about here?
Well, the notion that because he hasn't gone through Russian
customs, somehow he's in a different place than the country
called Russia is utterly ridiculous. And what makes it so
insulting is Putin as a lawyer, he knows it's ridiculous. As
Snowden came under Russian jurisdiction when his airplane
crossed into Russian AirSpace, Russian security officials could
have opened the cabin door and pulled him off the plane or
missing or kicked him out in the air before they landed. They
could
just take it to the limit. They could have gone in there and
shot him like
can I just give you the quick translation of exactly what
Putin said on television? Mr. Oil gave it to me. I prefer not
to deal with this issue at all. It's like sharing a pig too much
squealing not enough roll. That mofos deep any. That's it? Oh,
buddy has just brought that up on the mainstream media.
That is a great quote. It's a quote of the day. If these
people are
idiots, then the fact that Russia doesn't have an
extradition treaty with the United States is utterly
irrelevant. Russia has not your relevance. are you screaming
like a pig with no wool? You will this pig they could deliver
him back if they wanted to. They don't want to for several
reasons. I think probably the most important the most
dangerous is they're trying to get everything they can off his
computers, copying his documents, and debriefing him on
what he knows personally.
So you say what Putin is saying is ridiculous. Do we validated
them with some sort of response or not?
Well, I think if they don't turn him over, we should start
responding. Honestly, we should have started responding to the
Chinese when he left Hong Kong, they obviously didn't pay any
attention to our diplomacy either. And to the extent
there's any chance to influence Russia, it would help to start
penalizing China. There are several things we could do
withdrawal. Our ambassador from Beijing withdrawal our Consul
General from Hong Kong put on
is this guy's this guy's unbelievable. But this is the I
think you're absolutely correct. It's a complete distraction. But
the thing that's kind of interesting is, you know, is the
is this commentary running commentaries. Everybody's
talking about a different chip Gregory, everybody else? Oh,
he's got four computers, and they're going to steal all the
stuff that he knows, and it's going to be a huge disaster.
Now, what was the number of people with top secret
clearance? You always have it on the top of your head? Well,
there's
5 million Americans with clearance. One and a half
million have top secret clearance 1
million question, I'm gonna ask the question the media has never
asked. Please ask the question asker why I don't know why they
don't bring this up. Especially when they start talking about
oh, they're going to get his computers, and then he's going
to get debriefed, and he's going to tell him stuff. You're
telling me. You're telling me that the Soviets, the Chinese,
the French, the British don't, are not one of those 5 million
people that have this sort of clearance, or the 1 million that
have the top secret clearance already working in one of these
agencies with smarter skills than than Snowden downloading
all the stuff that the British, the Russians, the Chinese, they
don't need Snowden for anything. They have everything he's got
and he doesn't think that's correct. They're crazy. With a
million you know, they're given the throwing away these top
secret clearances left, left and right. And nobody thinks that
these guys aren't they're already getting this stuff. They
are. Everybody knows about this, except the American public. It's
unbelievable. Not one journalist has ever even asked that
question.
Oh, John, are you okay? Barely. Yeah. Well, this is of course,
the entire I a reason that this is being told right now is, you
know, anyone who knows anything about technology knows a couple
of things. They know all of these possibilities, but they
also know the the inherent weakness. And this is why I
thought it was funny that this came out of the SIS admins, I
know a sysadmin, who worked in the drone program. And when this
SIS admin left to go into private to work for a private
company, this SIS admin was physically sick of working for
the drone program because it entailed retrieving pictures of
people blown up by drones, by by drone strikes. This person was
asked to change the root password for the next sysadmin
This is how dumb This is. And and now they're going after sis
admins, which is the stupidest thing. You want real trouble?
Mess with those guys. And we've always said sis administrators
run the world they and they keep most things honest. But no, now
we're gonna have to put all kinds of bullcrap there, so it's
just going to be even more insecure. If there's only one
person you can trust, trust and an organization that's a
sysadmin that's the only person you can trust. The only person
who looks away when you type in your password everyone else's
look at the stupid eyeballing it that the stupid Apple store had
to go the Genius Bar. Geez.
I went to the Genius Bar. recently. Yes, get a beer.
I was really it was a not a not a good experience because they
don't really fix it. And they they're condescending. Oh, yeah.
Totally a little condescending. Little little weird. Not because
you're you're not a genius. Not clever, not quite as
condescending as the edge show. I don't know if I can get to in
a day. So this is your mainstream media and how they
are programming your mind about the about allowing all of the
stuff that the government is actually denying, but which goes
way beyond anything they're admitting to, which is why I'm
just I'm not going to take cell phones with me anymore. Screw
it. I'm just done with it. I'm sick and tired of it. I'm
disconnecting stuff. Because I've just screw you just I'm not
giving I'm gonna do everything I can to fight this stupidity. So
here's the ED show, truly, truly belongs with that clip of of
Haig, as this is your big brother and how the telescreen
tells you that it's all okay.
I think this kid is a punk. I think he's a coward. And I don't
view him as Patriot at all. He's a coward because he won't come
home and face the music. And if the United States of America is
doing something so egregiously wrong in his surveillance
program, how come he's the only one speaking up? You mean,
nobody else is willing to step up up and say we're doing really
bad stuff here. Look, the Constitution, yes, abiding by it
very important. We've been down this road. But basically, as I
see this, this is a white Bronco Chase today is what this is. And
we are now balancing the credibility of this guy. And the
President United States, or this guy in our safety. I'm going to
err on the side of the President, I'm going to err on
the side of the safety of the country. I do not believe that
we have done things so terribly wrong to keep the country safe,
that we need to prop this guy up who who come home and face the
music, because I understand there's a lot of people in
America that are willing to support him. He shouldn't be
empowered by that. Not going to China, not going to Russia, and
certainly not seeking asylum. This isn't about you, dude, this
is about the security of the country. I like that isn't about
you, dude, dude, the security of all of us. And based on what I
saw in Washington, DC on September 11 2001. I'll never
forget that smoke coming out of the Pentagon as a dozen barreled
across the city and people screaming and sirens and people
scared and everything we've gone after the I don't know, I just
kind of don't want to go through that again. God, so I don't
trust this guy. I don't trust him. Have we made mistakes? Yes.
Are we perfect? No. I don't like getting filled up in airports to
you. But sometimes what we have to do is realize that maybe our
laws don't keep up with technology. Maybe it's not a
perfect world out there. But I do think the United States and
September 11 has done a pretty good job of getting it right.
I'll go with President Obama is his administration in the NSA
over this guy, until of course I get more evidence. Maybe some of
his co workers, maybe a whole department will come out and say
you know Snowdens right. Don't count on it. Stick around. Oh,
man,
what's wrong with that guy?
Oh, he's on MSNBC. This this is this is continuous on MSNBC it
never stops. Does this whole Mandela thing now you tell me
here's a little asked John and we can come back to this crap
because it's important but this Mandela thing I think the guy
has been dead for a couple of days. But they're waiting there
the president finally the President had to do his climate
change speech and everything and so he finally, you know, he's in
Africa. So now I guess he can attend the funeral. So it's like
now they're going to continue. We've had everywhere around the
world people have have stopped and said, Oh, you know, we miss
Mandela, we're sorry. He passed away. There's a whole there's a
whole controversy in the in Gitmo nation lowlands, where,
like officials were saying, Oh, he's dead. Oh, no, he's not
dead. Oh, he's dead. Oh, no, he's not dead. I mean, the whole
the whole thing that keeping the guy alive until President Obama
shows up, no doubt. And here's proof because MSNBC came up with
this. Jim, Jim might tell you that they repeated several
times.
We have some developing news that we just have to share
Nelson Mandela's daughter Zindzi. Mandela tells NBC that
she was with Nelson Mandela, that she told him of President
Obama's upcoming visit to South Africa. And in Vinci's words,
she told him, quote, Obama's coming and he opened his eyes
and gave me a smile.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, let's do this report on this again.
And Ella's condition remains critical his daughter telling
NBC News that when she told him of President Obama's upcoming
visit to South Africa, that he opened his eyes and he smiled.
Ah, this
seems like real news. John
and his daughter is in a spoke to NBC News This Morning. After
visiting her father, she said he opened his eyes.
President Obama's on the can you say something? And because I
screwed up my speaker. Yeah, hold on.
Here's a hurt me. Oh, Sean. They're both trying to kill me.
Yeah, okay. Can you hear me now? You know,
I'm gonna hate to find this but I'm gonna have to put some
headphones on. Oh, no.
What happened? What happened? Um, that's crap. Well, perhaps
we should do a little bit of Do you have headphones?
Hello, hello.
Hello. All right. We'll just have to wait. A whole lot. You
back?
Yeah, with headphones. Oh, well.
I mean, do you want to pause and I want you to be comfortable,
honey.
Oh, thank you, dear. All right.
I'll wait. You fix it him. Well, just wait. Okay, y'all fix now?
Yeah.
It's weird. What happened, honey? When will you quit
calling me honey. Okay, sweetie. So
is it your sound device?
You want me to explain it? So people get a little clue about
this. Why not? So I got these speakers that are USB speakers
that are from edify. And I've never really screwed around with
the volume much. But there's a button and you push the button,
hold it down, your volume goes down. And I was under the
impression you push it and then cycle back up and went down and
up and down. No. I now I just figured it out. Apparently what
it so you were not loud enough. And I was fooling around on the
console. get louder, because I could barely hear you. So I
decided to go and push this button and it turns you down and
then off. Oh, that's not good. And so then I'm pushing the
button and it's pushing. Nothing's happening. So so then
I realized that net bites fooling around, which is the
only way to get anything to work in tech is Yes, seriously,
right?
You're correct, sir.
Once people get to clue about death and the deer Okay, so, so
yeah, so now what if you're gonna here's how it works. You
push the button and hold it down and get the turns the volume
down to zero. To turn the volume back up. You have to click on
the button push push, push, push, push, push, push, push
over and over it's incremental steps. Yeah, and so you have to
push push push push because I noticed when I pushed down I
heard a little bit of you and then went away because I had to
hold it was you then I started Rata tatting it bang bang bang
bang and it came in right after which should now I know how to
use.
Okay, good. Well, good. Did you get these mail order?
Did you order them from a catalog? That's really good.
Very nice. I think we should move on to chip Gregory. I see
you have to eclipse
I have chip. He's like chip is the in this regard. I think
we're listening to this thing. He is another spokes hole for
the government. Oh, Ah, in fact he is so he's horrible, horrible
person. I didn't realize how much this is
chip Gregory who hosts Meet the Press? Which is I would say is
that not the premiere? A Sunday show? Is that not the one
everyone wants to
do? There's competitors remember that case the nation
that killed the other guy that killed the guy who was hosting
it. Remember, right they got to
chip in but generally speaking was the top one Face the Nation
was the competitor and that's what Bob Schieffer was damn near
as bad only he's just kind of senile. what's
what? Who's chip Gregory married to again.
He's married to some one of our favorite people. Yeah.
What's his real name? David Gregory. Okay, David, Greg.
Isn't he married to like some douche douche yet? I think so. I
think it because he truly is a Washington insider. And he's
he's kind of the definition here. David Gregory, also known
as Chip born August 24 1970. I missed he was on Imus in the
Morning. Okay, Meet the Press. Where's his personal personal
life? Oh, yeah. Married to federal prosecutor. Former
Fannie Mae executive vice president death, Wilkinson.
That's right. Right. Okay. That's right. That's right.
Yeah, she's she's screwing us up from the from the from the
backdoor. He's doing it through into our face. All right. Okay.
So you have a very short clip of chip is this.
Yeah, well, I just thought this was a disgusting way. He asked
his question. The short clip is just him asking a simple
question that and he was serious in that he was flabbergasted
because he is an insider, and probably works for one of the
agencies from what I can tell. But let's just play the clip.
And I'll explain you what you can hear what it what it's
about. What else does
he intend to do you have been in contact with him? Is there
additional information he is prepared to leak to bolster his
and your claim that he is actually a whistleblower, and
not a criminal responsible for espionage? Sure.
I think the the key definition of whistleblower is somebody who
brings to light what political officials do in the dark that is
either deceitful or illegal.
Interesting. You didn't like the No, no, no,
that's not the clip I was looking for. Well, it
says was that clip one or two? Clip one?
Where's this short clip on? Wait, hold on?
That is the short clip.
There's a shorter one.
This is only 22 seconds.
Well, there's one there's even shorter. What's the shortest
thing I got on this list? Well, I
don't I don't know. I
don't have to have it is here it is. Oh, no, this I'm sorry. This
is Schieffer. That's that does the short. I mixed it to drag.
It wasn't as bad as this question. This is the worst
part. I want to just
ask you to start off the threshold question.
Why did the Washington Post think it should publish this
story?
No, no, no. Let me let me get let's let's go back. Let me go
back to chip Gregory. This is what I'm sure you saw this in
the Greenwald interview. And this is and this is his question
with Greenwald's answer,
to the extent that you have aided and abetted Snowden even
in his current an aided
and abetted is a technical term for treason for treason,
and aided and abetted not just treason any crime. You could do
aided and abetted a bank robbery movements,
why shouldn't you, Mr. Greenwald, be charged with a
crime.
Mr. Greenwald? What is this Mr. Mr. stuff? I want to be Mr.
Curry.
I think it's pretty extraordinary that anybody who
would call themselves a journalist would publicly muse
about whether or not other journalists should be charged
with felonies. The assumption in your question, David is
completely without evidence, the idea that I've aided and abetted
him in any way. There's scandal that arose in Washington before
our stories began was about the fact that the Obama
administration is trying to criminalize investigative
journalism by going through the the emails and phone records of
AP reporters accusing a fox news journalist of the theory that
you just embrace being a co conspirator with felony in
felonies for working with sources. If you want to embrace
that theory, it means that every investigative journalist in the
United States who works with their sources who receives
classified information is a criminal. And it's precisely
those theories in precisely that climate that has become so
menacing in the United States is why the New Yorker is Jane Mayer
said investigative reporting has come to a standstill, her word,
as a result of the theories that you just referenced.
Well, the question of who's a journalist may be up to a debate
with regard to what you're doing. And of course, anybody
who's watching this understands, I was asking a question, that
question has been raised by lawmakers as well. I'm not
embracing anything. But obviously, I take your
point, right, so to me play the douchebag
clip. Yeah, you're absolutely.
To me, this is spy versus spy. You got the white spy and the
black spy. And clearly we've got opposite sides. And this is a
message This is a message to you, Rudy, to every single
reporter out there, which is basically fuck off. Because you
because we got your number. You know,
we got your phone calls, we got your phone records, we got it
all for last five years we've got it
because this show is this show is not is not live, they didn't
have to leave that in that little Ted Ted. So they put that
in for the Express reason of putting every single journalist
on notice. And for putting every whistleblower on notice. It's
funny, I got a good there's in the very first whistleblower
that President Obama had arrested, his trial is coming
up. And oh, I just wanted to give you the name because I was
talking to someone who knows his dad. And here we go is to sit
here. Huh, here it is. No, now, sorry, I can't find it that
quickly. I'll find it but it was the Oh yeah, here it is newly
elected. This is an article from 2009 Freshly elected freshman
election victory that the President is charged another
former government employee with violating the Espionage Act. And
this guy's name is Hitsville Berger. You ever hear this guy?
No. Okay, so he pleaded not guilty. And what happened is he
left the service and he went home and he had some documents
and they said well, you took those documents because you were
going to you sell them to the Chinese and they locked them up
Yeah, locked up that's the NSA guy the CIA guy to lock them up
lock them up and they lock out all these people love I mean
this of course this is unbelievably fascistic but
doesn't work both ways. You know where the government says if
you've have nothing that if you have nothing to hide, then you
know
Yeah, no, but they did they won't listen to that argument
from their perspective.
But if we say well if you have nothing to hide Why don't you
show everything then all of a sudden the smoke billowing out
of the Pentagon? Which by the way aside from the people in
there would be a pretty good start. Please this is getting
annoying
I'll tell you this is yeah it's bad. I think you're right I did
Gregory here who is should be fired for even asking the
question the way he did he literally shouldn't be fired
because it's like he's not what kind of a kind of a journalist
or host is heated to ask a question like that and and
assume the guy he's talking to is a criminal and then bola so
what I meant no crap even what the legislators what he made it
worse by saying that's not what I meant. But this is what all
the lawmakers are saying.
It's it's really disgusting. Now, here is something
interesting I went down a bit of a rabbit hole with the
connection of course, you know, I went back and I looked at John
Young you know,
go down the rabbit hole. Maybe we should thank some producers.
This
is a very good idea. But yeah, in the morning to you John C.
Dvorak. Well, in
the morning to you Adam curry in the morning all ships and sea
boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all
the games and nights out there. And everyone in between? Yes.
And in between those people are also our human resources in the
chat room. No agenda show.no agenda stream.com no agenda
chat.net no agenda show.com was down last night for several
hours. Squarespace went down. Oh really? which never happens.
I've never seen that I have not seen it either. And I don't know
if it was one or donations were off
but I couldn't log in and yeah, yeah, I'm sure they happen
to everybody once in a while.
I Yes. But you see how it hurts us immediately. You know?
Gary white head though with three and a three $3.33 from
Brunei All right. Oh, nice. Been a while since I donated because
you never gave my Swaziland of karma. What? Oh, no.
Well then let me hand it to you now. You've got was enough
karma.
Yeah, but unfortunately is in Brunei. Anyway, he says the show
is too outstanding in all caps. You mean me to remain forever
bitter?
You mean this was enough is illegal in Brunei? Probably.
Probably.
Michael Slazenger. I think it's losing juror could be slit Sleep
Sounds right lie singer but Slazenger sounds like 255 It'd
be Associate Executive producer from a calm Michigan. Hey guys
answering the call and make an extra emergency donation in
addition to my weekly subscription. I think this
probably came in as a Sunday Wednesday with a given credit
for a second producer ship on July 4. I thought Thursday's
episode 523 was particularly great. Especially the Charlie
Rose interview break down. Now that I'm a show producer. I'd
like to encourage you to Start every show by immediately
jumping into analysis of the recent news is, what is it? We
do? Not what we do? Yeah, that's kind of
I think this will help new listeners catch on to the show.
Okay. I think that's kind of what we've been trying we could
be wrong.
Sometimes we talk about your dinner parties and I try to see
I think those are good. I think people like that more than they
like to news. It's less depressing.
I'm not trying to depress people I'm trying to, I'm trying to
entertain
Luke from Munich. Deutschland 252 52. Please refer to me as
Luke from Munich. I only want to ask for a birthday shout out for
my 30 it's on Thursday. P S and the first of June I sent you
6969 I believe you missed it. You could have been well, we'll
look into that make good? Yeah. All the 6969 that we missed, I
think we caught up.
Sometimes we get people saying man, I you know, you didn't read
my my donation my birthday. And then we go back and say, well,
here it is. And you can hear it on the recording.
Yeah, there's a lot of that actually. cpp. It does. Sir.
Sharkey, Dr. sharqiyah. Buddy in Jackson, Tennessee.
He's been, sir. Yeah, he's a knight
23456. I think he's up to something. Baronet. Yeah, there
are a growing number of physicians who do not
participate in government health care programs like Medicare or
Medicaid Kool Aid. It says
it is scary. He says
this is how doctors called meta scary. This
is how doctors talk. This is interesting. This is interesting
medical aid. The majority of these keep your medical records
in paper charts. By the way, my doctor told me that they had to
go to electronic everything or they couldn't do any Medicare
billing. Yeah, I know government has come to give him a one year
notice that you got every one of you doctors you got to put
everything down in a computer or else and so obvious what they're
up to here. They're trying to get everyone's medical records
on top of everything else so they can blackmail us he the
majority of these independents keep medical records in paper
charts, not electronic records. Does the NSA ACS CIA and
President Obama cannot Snoop in real time, unless they perform a
breaking and entering after hours, the Pentagon, FBI etc
have all been hacked. Does anyone really believe that an
EHR electronic health record is safe from prying eyes? I would
encourage all our pre drunk pre diabetic free donors and our
fine producers to find a doctor that doesn't use a government
approved health care record, but instead uses paper charts. ITM
Dr. Sharkey, so
sir Dr. Sharkey sent me a number of links and there's a huge
scare campaign now going on. He had all of this all of this
cyber crap it's all a big money play. And of course some of it's
true, but there's article after article I have I think five of
them in the show notes five to five.na shownotes.com virus
found in heart defibrillators you know, all your medical
devices can be attacked they can be hacked all we had to clean
all you know all the computers because you know, there was a
you know, a virus got on Whoa, you know, they could come in and
control you and kill you. It's just It goes on and on for
ever.
is big, big, big business, this big business. It's a man's and
we're not in it. Of
course, no, of course not getting by. He wants some karma
for his wife's aunt suffering from terminal leukemia. And his
uncle just had a stroke lost vision in one eye. So little
karma.
I mean, for the Leukemia, isn't that I think that qualifies as
an F cancer. So I'm gonna karma and I saw Dr. Shark, he's
goodness. And it's good to have these guys on the inside. Who
tell you what's going on. And I agree. But now we have Ms.
Mickey has a document women need I think women, it's important
for women to have. I think they just need more help than men in
general. I think it's my feeling my experience. Keep digging.
Yep. Yeah, I'm up to my neck. And, and so all of the, and we
have BlueCross. All of the approved doctors, they all have
electronic records. And weed like no, we don't want you know,
we don't don't want to do that. And then she had to have a
procedure. And they're like, Well, you got to sign in on the
website. I'm like, No, we're not doing that. And we go in and did
like now if you don't do it on there, you can have your
procedure done. So she has one doctor who is you know, really
good. He's the guy that got into compounded stuff for her
thyroid. That's made locally here in Austin tailored to her
specific situation.
Yeah, those guys are under attack.
Yeah. Well, nice. Have the compound and medication or that
doctor is covered by the insurance we have to pay that
out of pocket. So I'm paying twice essentially. The figures
Yeah, it's it's horrible. It's so don't get me started.

put his did that Dan Miller's dad put him on the list.
Dan Miller he's not on there. No Okay. Dan Miller's when is he
when's his birthday Okay, all right. Yeah, it should work
should be able to bribe the post
office down here babe. Hey, girls. Hey, girls.
I've had so many people come up to me about that one. The well
this is why we don't do video Yeah, it was you know in it, it
would ruin it then. Yeah,
we can't do video videos. This is this is that it was listening
to the show it I mean most of the Video, podcast. People are
doing cranky geeks, which was a pure video podcast in a studio.
A 75% of the people were just downloading the mp3 file. They
never watched it know
exactly that because there's West time. Who has time? Oh, I'm
sorry, chat room. was time to actually watch for three hours.
You crazy?
Yes, three hour show is ridiculous. You can put on your
little mp3 and put it play in the car when you drive it
around, whatever. Is that how it works. So that's anyway, we want
to thank our executive producer and our executive producers for
show five to five, which is a nice number that we could have
gotten some play with. Can't want to remind people go to
dvorak.org/nhl Dev org.com/na. Also, the no agenda show website
has a donate button as well as the no agenda nation website.
Click there and help us out for the Sunday show, which is
generally coming up oh, it's gonna be slow. But this is good.
This today's was the we know we have a lot of producers, the
overall numbers are not that great. And I think we're
entering in the doldrums here for a month or so Dog
Days. I also want to thank all I want to thank all of our
producer, our artists. sab Swiss, I think someone who's new
to the mix, we use sabse art on the previous episode of the
program five to four. Appreciate that you can see all the art no
agenda art generator.com. Couple of quick PR Wow. Hello, can you
back it off a little? i Wow, that was a loud ring.
It seems a mile away from the mic. But I think maybe the mics
pointing in
a couple of PR mentions. One, there is a now a one of our
producers mature, mature GG has set up an automatic no agenda to
YouTube conversion system. So the minute a show hits the RSS
feed it's converted uploaded to YouTube, but check this. He does
it sped up. Which I don't know I don't like that. Personally,
a lot of people is it sped up with the right tonal balance.
It's well no, it's, well it's no, no, it's sped up like most
of these players do. You know players can play back at one and
a half speed. Right? I don't do like I don't like that. I don't
I've never understood why people do that. I think you're missing
a lot of the art. You know, it's like it's like looking at the
Mona Lisa with your your sunglasses on? No,
no looking at the Mona Lisa using Google Streetview.
That's a better analogy. Thank you.
And you can do that you can actually go into the light
believe the Louvre is available on
Google. I think the Louvre was the first website ever. I
remember pitching Reebok and say how can you not be here? Here's
the Mona Lisa. And it worked and let's
walk by the other paintings
right? Also So anyway, thank you very much Mr. Chair and the link
in the show notes of course under the PR section as Scott
says in the morning Adam and John just letting you know that
I'm continuing to propagate the message and I guess he means for
me that by releasing my first Kindle giblet it's called foot
on the shore it's a story about an old man and his dog who find
his severed foot on a beach unfortunately the deal I had to
publish one day and get my nation which is a great book has
fallen through but I'm working on getting it republished myself
and have few other no agenda stories in the works including
one called Death by auto pen Keep up the great work come
attach the Kindle version of the latest story for you both and so
be on the lookout for that for the no agenda, giblets in the
Amazon store and there is and this is all your fault and and I
I'm very thankful we now have a no agenda Texas meet up
announcement while everybody a group of the no agenda producers
is putting on a Texas no agenda meetup. We want slaves like you
charged up and ready to attend. And the link because they have
the website is no agenda texas.com And you should check
this out. Ah they've improved it. Remember remember that this
September John fires blackpowder shot
what's the name of this URL?
No agenda texas.com. event details so let me see what's
going on with the event. Let's see. Anyway, so they're working
on very fun. So they're working on something but I'm leaving
this up to
get with that guy's got there but that is not a black powder
gun. It looks like a bat and that's just some new modern
version could be could be I don't know what that why not why
why would you do that? I got a really long scope. I don't know
But the deal is with that but I think it's just funny.
I think that's not scope. That's not a scope that's you shoot the
black powder then then you put your mouth on that thing and
suck in this pile of smoke flying off of it. Yeah, okay.
Yeah, right I'm sorry.org/and
No matter what you do we always ask you to go out and do this
important thing which is propagate our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth
all right, rabbit hole, quick little rabbit hole. Hit it.
Alright, so rabbit hole is we now we know that John Young who
runs crypto home.org and left WikiLeaks in 2007 and said, You
guys are a CIA front. I want nothing to do with you. And you
know, we we have gone through this ad nauseam about the Julian
Assange his background. You know, pretty much just feeling
like the way it came down the way the documents were published
in newspapers and not online
is CIO. There's also some code thing going on. Where they're
calling him a Sanjay, have you noticed this? No. Is it Mr.
Asante? No, just the Julian Assange J. And the guy that the
CIA guys are calling him this and enforcing is fishy interest.
I
have not heard this. Yeah, in fact, Oh,
who's that was a douchebag. That was the head of the agency for
some period of time. And I think under Bush, I can't remember his
name. But will it was Woolsey or something like
that? Yeah. Rosie Woolsey. He's
back. And he came on some show going on and on about something
or other and he called him a song j. So the song che and
Manning needed to be thrown in the slammer. And he would go on.
So I'm looking at the reports coming in and how WikiLeaks is
now basically claiming Mr. Snowden as their own. And, and
this woman appears, what I see. I'm sorry, that's not that
woman. That's that was the Waterhead. Here it is. This is
what
I wanted legal adviser to WikiLeaks, who joins me here
live from London. Jennifer, thank you for for coming on end.
And I just have to ask first couple of questions. Where is
Edward Snowden right now.
Now this woman, her name is
Jennifer Robinson, and she is a lawyer. And so and let's listen
to what she says. And then let's go down the hole.
As Julian Assange confirmed this afternoon on the telephone
conference call, he is in direct contact with WikiLeaks. But at
this stage, they are not disclosing where he is. He is He
is in good health. He's in high spirits. We understand that they
are not disclosing his whereabouts. Can you
tell me where he would like to go? priority number one.
I understand my instructions are, as has been widely reported
that he has now sought asylum from Ecuador and has made an
application exercising his legal right under international law to
seek asylum. That is now a metaphor for the Ecuadorian
government whose
entire interview she's saying my instructions are this is what I
have been told to relate to you. I am a moron. And so I'm like,
Okay, who is this woman? So Jennifer Robinson is a lawyer,
and she is the legal director for the birth of foundation.
Bertha foundation.org, go to this website. And this is, this
is a very, very interesting. In fact, I'm going to go there
myself. They hand out money to all kinds of groups, but there's
no information about who's behind it knowing is spelled as
Bub E. Bravo, Echo Romeo. Tango hotel Alpha. Birth, the
Foundation was established in 2010 by a family who believes
that bright ideas combined with resources and strong leadership
can create profound social impact. We believe in the power
of social activism to generate social, political, economic and
environmental change. We believe in passionate individuals and
projects that can affect change on a local or global scale of
these people who paid for this woman to represent WikiLeaks and
Mr. Snowden.
Well, let me mention a couple other things. One, the the art
on the webpage people should check out there's a bunch of
people in a circle a bunch of kids and it looks like there may
be African Yeah. And then there's a woman with a camera
wearing a headscarf and she appears to be a Muslim. I don't
know what the point of that is. And then there's a quote from
Peter Gabriel on this on the right hand side. So this thing
is very
go to grant As John, if you click on grantees up there at
the top, and they have
they also have a weird logo with a B in the middle of it. Yep. So
there's so there's a fascist looking thing. Oh, yeah. So
they're handing
out money to the Sundance Institute, the boon to education
fund. But here's what's interesting. There is no record
of the birth of foundation that I could find as a nonprofit in
the United States, even though they claim to be a nonprofit
foundation.
That they're claiming that where they claim that
if you're looking at about they, well, then I'm sorry. They're
not talking about being a nonprofit. We believe
philanthropy is more than science. And we focus on people
and their vision. We try to be trailblazers and finding daring
opportunities. And you look at the grantees and it's it's
basically propagandistic right down to the Ubuntu Education
Fund, which I think is the African thing. Now the Ubuntu
Education Fund. They received a lot of money really like a
million dollars, just from the birth of foundation, but who is
the birth of foundation? That's all I really want to know. Oh,
by the way, on the grantees page, there's a quote from Harry
Belafonte radical thought is the energy of the universe. Now,
it's not saying that Harry Belafonte is a member of the
birther foundation.
Now they just put a quote on Twitter, I can do that myself.
And then if
you look at they have all of these crazy, like news stories.
Let me see our focus.
They have a thing called we own TV.
Yeah, I'm telling you, this is what we aim to hear lawyers and
legal actors. And we aim to inspire and enable the work of
socially minded lawyers, and are committed to strengthening the
field of public interest law. So not not I go on a search for
hours to find out, you know, is there a family called Bertha?
Who are these people? Are these people and why don't they just
disclose that on their website? They do say we do not fund
animal rights, welfare organizations crisis and
disaster relief, Genetic and Rare Diseases, governments large
scale scientific or social research, political candidates
and campaigns religious organizations, universities in
the developed world, but they do fund WikiLeaks, apparently,
because they're paying for WikiLeaks is legal help. And I
run into a woman who is featured as a part of the Ubuntu
Foundation, a video on one of these bull crap sites. And her
name is Laura. To bots, Nick. Yes, you can't make it any
crazier than that. And she is the CEO and founder of the birth
of foundation, here's,
finally get to the bottom of it.
It's kind of like a fake Ted
thing in the position to be able to create change, something I
feel is a privilege and a responsibility. And Laura, it's
about snick, founder and CEO of the birther foundation. One of
the trips I did this year was out in rural Kenya, and one of
the schools we went to is probably the poorest one I've
ever been to in my life. It was literally to mud structures. And
all the kids were out on the lawn. A principal asked this one
little boy to stand up. And as everyone started clapping, and
was boy up until about a week ago is 11 or 12. used to come to
school naked because he couldn't afford a uniform.
So you get the point. She's full of shit. She's talking about
what are you talking about?
Got that kind of fake.
Oh accent Oh, and then I'm like okay, what is going on with this
woman the only thing I can find so the birth of foundation.org
is registered to her at what I presume is her address of 70
Washington. Hold on a second. It is 70 thing Washington Street in
Brooklyn New York penthouse ah, and if you look at it, this is a
two and a half million dollar penthouse. This is just some
rich woman who likes to to help black kids with no clothes and
finances this stuff and you cannot find a single thing about
her. She is invisible as far as anything. Bertha foundation
goes, she has a wiki page which only references the Ubuntu
Education Foundation. The whole thing is like what is going on
and where are these people coming from? Who are they? And
why are they funding this? Laura to Bosne Nick and you found what
nothing. Well, this
is this is not good.
Oh, this is this is this is actually very, very bad. because
we have an unknown group with unknown financiers providing
legal and spokes whole assistance to WikiLeaks and Mr.
Snowden, I do have his, you're gonna love this. I have inside
information that the same PR firm that handles Mr. Assange J
will now also be handling Mr. Snowden, and that is Fitz Gibbon
media and you need to take a look at their site. Okay. Fitz
Gibbon is fit Xie Gibbon media.com. And their clients is
a veritable who's who have douchebags The Courage Campaign
who of course, were very big on on the gay marriage thing, the
Invisible War, demand action to end gun violence, move on.org,
amnesty, safer chemicals, Healthy Families common cause
America's voice. It goes on and on and on Democracy for America.
So this is a this is one of the true Washington insider PR
campaigns. And they already represent Mr. Assange, J and
WikiLeaks. Because you know, of course, you know, the huge
organization, I guess, I guess they just have money coming out
of their assholes. And they will now be doing the PR for Mr.
Snowden. Interesting is they have a so they don't like
exposing backpage.com and their real policy guys. They have a
what we do, you should read this. And they have something
called artist action. Connecting causes with like minded artists
to raise awareness and inspire action. This is how people like
Bano and REM. And you'll get involved by recruiting
musicians, artists and celebrities to elevate
progressive causes. Artists action adds a powerful new
element to advocacy and outreach efforts that when combined with
fits given media's earned media, you know what that is? Right?
No, oh, this is how they calculate how much they should
use the they charge their clients. So
oh, one of these operations? Well, this is an old idea that
comes and goes and public relations, we should explain it.
Yes.
So the way I understand it, and then you jump in, is they go out
and they promote something and they'll say, Okay, we're gonna
have Bano. Talk about how we need WikiLeaks to be freed.
Julian Assange needs to be freed. And there'll be 550
stories. And they'll go in, they'll measure the actual size
of the stories in print, the time that was spent on the
stories on the news, and the number of web pages. And let's
say, if you had to buy banners, commercials, and other forms of
advertising, it would cost this much money to get this much
exposure. Almost Okay, what did I miss?
Well, what, how it really works. And I actually, this is 20 years
old, this information from the guy, one of the guys who
invented this idea, although this has come and gone and in
public relations, generally speaking, is looked down, down
upon, but they actually have a fee schedule, that they present
the client, they say, here's the deal, we're gonna be
representing you. And here's the fee schedule. In other words,
you get an article in the Wall Street Journal, you know,
because of what we did. And it actually anything that happens
once you sign on with these guys, whether it was because of
us, because somebody in the Wall Street Journal actually wanted
to know, is what's going to cost you the Wall Street Journal will
be worth like, you know, $1,500 for that article, and a couple
of this and they don't actually go through any trouble measuring
anything. It's just that if you're in the Wall Street
Journal, you have to pay us this much money. And essentially, the
people sign on to that they don't there's not much work
involved in this except to, you know, tracking all all the
places where something showed up, you get to get a guest spot
and MSNBC you have to pay five grand, and all the rest of it.
And then it's just a it's a pretty straightforward business,
but it's really sleazy,
and I would like to point out that, as far as I know, the
celebrators that I've known who were participated in stuff like
this they get paid they get paid for their participation if you
look at the site here you see artists action, introducing
artists action let's see. Sir Paul McCartney backs the Global
Zero movement which is now he may not have received payment
for it but he was recruited let's see do we have any no they
have a video here on they might have a little promo then a
little promo that'd be cool and then realize that now it doesn't
seem to be working. Artists we've worked with REM Pearl Jam
Tom Morello. Rise Against, rise against hmm Jason Moran says
Steve Earle the roots Alicia Keys Yoko Ono Chris Cornell Paul
McCartney owsm ozomatli oh man hum toma age, dirty projectors,
Jackson Browne, Serj Tankian Talib Kweli, Alabama Shakes,
Dave Matthews, artists action adds a powerful new element to
advocacy. When combined with Fitzsimons, media, earned media
and digital strategies can tip the scales cause a campaign to
stand out and reach a much wider audience.
Yeah. So in other words, what you're saying and what I believe
is their selling here is that these bands have sold out to
these guys. Correct? Correct. And so when you have they'll,
for one thing, they'll do a, even though they will get paid,
but they'll do a benefit for one of these operations at the drop
of a hat. They'll get paid Exactly. They get paid, but
they'll do the benefit. And then while doing the benefit, they'll
be saying things on stage like, this is great what they're
doing. Yeah.
Have you been a part of this? So they have case studies. And this
was the exposing backpage.com child sex trafficking in our own
backyard? Do you remember how big this campaign was? Well,
these guys, they do that. Now. I'm not saying that this is bad.
But they you know, that it's certainly not transparent is how
it's happening. This was fair girls paid for the campaign,
which was partnered with change.org sign on.org, the
Polaris Project, and on something called Auburn, and
they they essentially show how they attacked Backpage. And so
you may think that when you're watching television, and you
know that oh, man, these kind of started with We Are the World
and artists united against Sun City hands
across America.
And it's all Bogota. It's all
bowling. Well, we've been saying that for five years, no, but to
advertise it and say, hey, oh, yeah, no, actually, if we would
do if we out, we could find all of these operations. So I think,
I think exposing them once in a while is a good thing. And this
is a great example. I mean, these guys are pay pay for play
as in other words, you get your thing, which is one way which is
a sleazy way to do public relations, by the way, but it
just you know, some people think it's a better deal turns out not
to be and then to have all these sellouts which you just named,
Dave Matthews, Jackson Browne.
I've always respected that guy.
Well, there you have it.
And Jimmy Wales now has said, oh, you know what, we're gonna
break the Wikipedia rules. And we're going to track who was
using the Snowden talk page. Maybe you're supposed to be able
to be anonymous. You know, there's no tracking of Wikipedia
editors. And so no, no, no, not Jimmy Wales. No, he's the
protector of the book of knowledge. He'll go and he'll
try and track him down. Yeah, I don't think the guy I think you
know what, I'm not even sure the Snowden exists. I'm not even
sure. I mean, it could be a scam. It could be a war, it
could be a beat Oh, no, we never met him. No, have no no idea
whatsoever. No idea whatsoever.
Of course, you know, that kind of thinking. False. I have a
clip, which I just cracked that I didn't want to clip this whole
thing because it was really, really kind of odd. But there's
a clip with which is called the idiotic puff piece for Google,
the person that you're going to be listening to here is a woman
who is probably a high paid executive at Google sounds just
like a moron. And they're rolling out some new product,
you know, where Google can track you and all kinds of new ways.
It's gonna make your life so much better. And but there's a
couple of zingers in here about you know, that make you wonder
who they think the American public is, is stupid to think
that there is no such thing as a Barack Obama and there are the
Eiffel Tower was made up. I just play this sort
of fully wired. That's a Google aim to show at a townhouse in
New York City. The tech giant demonstrated how its enhanced
search capabilities could potentially improve everything
from planning a wedding, to cooking
so well now understands real people, places and things in the
world, like who's Barack Obama, that he's an actual person or
the MoMA or Eiffel Tower understands it's actually a real
thing and can sort of give you all the information you want to
know about that topic available after this beautiful panel on
the webpage. Show me
pictures of the boardwalk in Santa Cruz.
Make a stop my ears. Who was robbed? Can you show me a
picture of that Bagua car Rob
I showed me a picture.
Okay grass show me a tax law. backlog. This is a smart home.
Oh, wow. You know, we have not moved beyond the your
refrigerator will know when to order milk. We're still at that
stage all time favorite. Yeah, where is that? I'm still waiting
for the smart refrigerator. I will say, the smart meters have
got to go. This crap is. And let me explain why. Because this is
very apropos in the whole conversation about cell phone
metadata. Man, the metadata you get from a smart meter when
you're home when you turn on certain stuff. I mean, it is
actual RF reception, it can do a million different things it has
this is the metadata of your life is in the smart meters.
And they can shut them off remotely.
Well, that's the best part. Hey, slim, buddy. You
don't like? Like the way you're voting?
Boom, although I got a and this is funny, because it's from
FEMA. And I put it in the show notes on the last show. I'll
republish it. It's a wood burning gasifier. Are you
familiar with this?
As a matter of fact, I am. If this is
really cool, you build this woodburning thing. And you with
a series of tubes. You hook it up to a generator and you can
run the Gen you can run your car on wood? Well, yes, yes. Yes.
Yes. Well, I
mean, you could it's a weird product because it takes it
creates electricity.
No, no, no, it creates gasoline that powers an engine.
Okay. Have you ever seen this? Now I've got the I've seen the
electricity one, which you burn a bunch of stuff, and then you
get some voltage out of a plug, who I like that I haven't seen
yet. They're very small. And he's just burned. Do you know
that she didn't use electricity?
This is and it's from a FEMA brochure. Gasification plant.
Yeah. And you put wood, you put wood pellets in. And then you
stir it around. And then it's burning the charcoal and
whatever. And then you find it goes through a filtration thing.
And then before you know it, you open up the valve and you hook
that up to your generator, or I've seen people with a pickup
truck. They have actual pickup trucks with this thing in the
back. I mean, it's huge. It's like it's like an alcohol
distillery. But they have that in the back and the tube going
right in, right into the engine. And they're driving us right up
your alley. Perfect. I'm like, wow, how come this where's this
been all my life. I have the pickup truck. I just if someone
was wanting, I tried to look to buy one. And there's really, you
know, it's like everybody says, Oh, by plans, I don't want to
plan. I want someone to come here, build me the gasifier put
it in the back of the truck, and I want to drive on wood. It's
great. And the theme of brochure actually says, you know, in the
UK, in case of, you know, if the grid goes down, here's what you
need to do, you can build this gasifier and you can run your
generator on it. And there's tons of YouTube videos of guys
who built this. And it's fascinating and like, how they
put wood in and you know, you got a barrel for this stuff. And
you can run your generator for five hours on wood pellets or
whatever you whatever would you want to burn. I had not heard of
this. I was like, wow, yeah, right up my alley. You're
absolutely
keep researching it. Well, let's get back to our sleaze ball
operations. One that was that was the highlight of love. I
know I can tell you would probably be thrilled by this
knowledge.
I'm very, very grateful. I
can use wood. I can buy some seeds, some water purification.
All right, we should sell this stuff. Well. Yeah, there
you go. Let's sell plans. Hi, everybody, by plans now on how
you can drive your car on wood. That's right. Only 9995 We'll
send you the plans. And that's with an extra $10 for shipping
and handling. I read the President's Climate Action Plan,
which I read before he did his speech which conveniently was
done on the hottest day he could find. So it looked like he was
really sweating from all of this global warming. And
exactly right. Yeah,
I need to ask you a couple questions. You are of course not
only historian you are a scientist, you have worked for
the environmental protection and Environmental Protection Agency.
You are also an outstanding chef. So I need to ask the
regional regional agency I need to ask you a few questions about
the statements made by the President.
At around the same time, we began exploring space.
Scientists were studying changes taking place in the Earth's
atmosphere that scientists had known Since the 1800s, that
greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, trap heat,
is this true? Have we known this since the 1800s? Not that I know
of, I mean, the 1800 scientists is this Antonie van lay on
hookah, he was inventing inventing the telescope. Anyway,
I see some greenhouse gases up there. I mean, is this a fact?
And then I no doubt I'm sure, you can give you read everything
written in the 1800s. Somebody probably said something. But
burning fossil fuels released those gases into the air. That
wasn't news. But in the late 1950s, the National Weather
Service began measuring the levels of carbon dioxide in our
atmosphere, with the worry that rising levels might someday
disrupt the fragile balance that makes our planet so hospitable.
Okay, so All right, Jill, balance, all right. fragile
balance. Now. This is, this is the big, the big one that
they're using
the 12 warmest years in recorded history have all come in the
last 15 years.
This is a very interesting statistic to me. So was that it
was the last three years that it went down or where there's
three, there's a gap of three years where they weren't the
warmest and what happened to those? And is it just forever
and ever or recorded history? Do we have records going back to
the 1800s when the scientists were were watching this, and
measuring this and knew about fossil fuels to me was mind
boggling statistic.
Last year, at temperatures in some areas of the ocean reached
record highs. Some and ice in the Arctic shrank to its
smallest size on record faster than most models most had
predicted at what
models.
These are facts Oh, back. Now we know that no single weather
event is caused solely by climate change.
Now, this is very interesting.
This is why it's work I you continue to see them working on
the new the new sales pitch is it's
very well done very well done
droughts and fires and floods, they go back to ancient times as
recorded, but we also know that in a world that's warmer than it
used to be. All weather events are affected by a warming
planet,
this is a fact.
All right, so Okay, all right. I'm still good to go. Now he
comes out with what I think is the best line of the speech.
In fact, those who are already feeling the effects of climate
change, don't have time to deny it. They're busy dealing with
it.
I think that that's a great line. Those who are
in a hurry, actually what their this was, I think this was put
in there. Because we know that this may be checked, you know,
because a sunspot cycle and whatever it may be reversing.
And we're going to not going to have any more of these examples,
they're going to start disappearing just to enough of
an extreme that is going to make everyone lose interest, which
you're already doing because of the fake data and all the rest
of it. And so I think this was put in there to create the sense
of urgency that they need to start doing something. So when
it does reverse, they can say look, we started doing some
work. Oh, yeah, no, no, this that's very clear, it's already
going to happen. In this term. You're already going to see this
go down that it will change.
So this is what happened with by the way with acid rain.
He mentioned that in his speech, he mentioned acid rain and how
that things
died. I didn't notice that they had a cap and trade program they
put in somebody made a lot of money on acid rain, and I don't
notice that anything's really changed in the way people do
anything. Acid rain, the whole acid rain thing was bogus. Let's
listen
to the science, John. So the
question is not whether we need to act. The overwhelming
judgment of science, and chemistry and physics. Wow. And
millions of measurements,
millions of measurements. I
tell you, let's put all that to rest 97% of scientists.
sciences, including by the way, some who originally disputed the
data
97% of all scientists in the known universe.
Yeah, this is bogus, because there's so many scientists that
will not speak up about this because they get shouted down by
the maniacs.
96 No, no, no. 98 No. 97% Because there's a there's a
known number of scientists, you know, they know exactly how many
scientists there are. We asked them all and 97% said you come
in. Yeah, that's
that's the rest. They've acknowledged the planet is
warming. And human activity is contributing to it.
This is very important. That's fact fact.
question now is whether we will have the courage to act before
it's too late.
Okay, courage, very good now. Now the President has that we
talked about performative acts on on the show performative are
gathered. I mean, would you like to take a stab at that John, the
perform their way of couching a phrase is phraseology that that
essentially focuses attention on what you're doing, not what
you're saying, I think, is part of the it a lot of days used as
propaganda.
It allows you to tell a lie, without really telling a lie.
As a president, as a father, and as an American, I'm here to say,
we need to act
and doesn't get any better than that. Yeah. As a scientist, no,
no, as a father, as a father, as a American as a president. I'm
here to say, he doesn't he's not doing the fact thing. He's like,
I'm here to say. I found that to be one of the best performances
I've heard him do. And it was a good one. It was Jim. The sad
fact of all this or really not sad. If you looked at the price
of natural gas, John, has it gone up? It must have gone up
isn't it cannot have stayed down. It hasn't gone up
as much as you'd like to believe.
Is it around four bucks now? Is
it finally I think it's still under four? And let me take a
look. It's got, like 390. Last time I looked, it's got
to be okay. But it remember it was a three. So it's gone up by
33%? A Oh, yeah. Because this is all about,
it's $3.59.
So it's not bounding out of the gate. This is all about natural
gas.
By the way, gold is down to 1212. And
we can talk about that. Let's get on with natural gas for a
moment. But bottom
line is natural gas is creating jobs. It's lowering many
families, heat and power bills. And it's the transition fuel
that can power our economy with less carbon pollution, even as
our businesses work to develop, and then deploy more of the
technology required for the even cleaner, energy economy of the
future. Yeah, he,
in the speech, he very briefly mentioned nuclear, which I was
happy to hear you know, I'm a big fan of nuclear, I think it
truly is the ultimate renewable in the planet itself. There's
there is under the $7 billion that will be made available,
which is pretty much nothing. There is a provision for new
compact reactors. Now we have you know, some the NDA the
nuclear the regulatory agency within our government, it pretty
much has anti nuke people running it. So I don't expect
this to happen. Because, you know, nuclear is not a good
deal. Nuclear is not you can't gouge people over and over again
for nuclear. Although I think they're stupid because there's
actually
up there is a model that does work for a backyard nukes. Yeah,
that will power your house for over 100 years and unmaintained
Yeah, you just put it back there and you plug them you know thing
into the generator circuit and you're done. You're good to go
forever.
I don't understand why they don't see the the opportunity is
to create nuclear plants are very expensive to build, not
because the plant is so expensive to build, because of
all the regulatory bullcrap that made it impossible. Also,
there's some elements of the plant because we don't do what
the French do, we have a non standardized system. So every
plant is different. They're all custom made, it's like let's say
you have a car, we drive cars. So instead of buying a Toyota
every time you buy a new car, you'd actually go to a custom
guy and have the car built from scratch. What do you think that
would cost compared to a Toyota
right right? I think the opportunity is to build these
these reactors hook everyone up to it and then just charging for
the nothing there so I don't understand why they don't no one
sees this you know, it's like because it's not once you build
it, it's working is running you know the these new reactors, the
breeders they eat their own book, they eat their own poop
and you know, they did put it back into the into the front
end. There's very little there's almost no waste to just
perpetual motion almost That's how good this stuff is. And then
you could charge people for air. I don't understand why no one
sees that opportunity. But okay, I did get a note from producer
Steve. I don't want to confirm gas lines are installed with
solar panels. I'm an attorney for a large corporation, and was
asked to review some provisions in a contract for the
installation of solar panels on one of our locations in these
instances. I usually scan the entire contract before honing in
on the language directly related to my speciality. Much to my
surprise, a lot of information that contract related to gas
lines, I found was particularly odd because this is an existing
location. So it's already it already has utility service. As
such, there's no need for a backup, the backup the solar,
presumably, they could just use the existing electrical provider
when the solar isn't adequate. But all the solar stuff and wind
stuff, it's all hiding gas burners, bad gas turbine, it's
all about gas. And we've well we know this, because this is what
we've been following for ever since episode 381. I think we've
been following pipelines and gas lines. And that's what this is
all about. So the idea was as predicted under the Clean Air
Act, is to think essentially give us rolling blackouts, or
whatever we get is going to make coal, which is dirty, although
you can make it very clean.
Actually, most coal today can be made extremely clean, yes. With
the floating beds, and scrubbers and all the rest of it, and you
know, but nobody wants to talk about any of this. Because now,
after all, we have 350 years, if we just power the entire country
with coal, we have so much coal, we're that everyone says this,
they don't say it anymore. We're gonna say it again on the show.
We are the Saudi Arabia of coal. We have 350 years supply. If we
use nothing but gold, we would be powering the United States
for the next three or 50 years. No problem. So Wow. You know,
that's not that's not any good. We can't do that.
And to help them do it faster,
because now he's talking about this is part of the whole
climate change deal is you know, you help the poor nations, you
give them the money, you trade, you cap, whatever you do.
We're going to partner with our private sector to apply.
What is this partner with the private sector business? What
does that
corporatism is Fascism is what it means. When someone says that
that to me, that's like real. I'd like a deal like that. Can I
partner with the government government have no agenda show?
Yeah, that's part of what you partner with me brought
by private sector technological know how in countries the
transition to natural gas?
Yeah, so he's now selling for the gas industry.
We've mobilized billions of dollars in private capital for
clean energy projects. How
does he mobilize billions of dollars in clean in private
capital? How does that I mean, I'm hearing the words come out
of his mouth. we've mobilized billions of dollars in private
equity, really, then you must have held some carrot in front
of them. Private Equity doesn't just jump up and down, say, Oh,
hi, I really want to save the world. Let me give you billions
of dollars now,
around the world. Today, I'm calling for an end of public
financing for new coal plants overseas unless they deploy
carbon capture technologies. Or there's no other viable way for
the poorest countries to generate electricity. And
there's genies
contract. Wow. So unless, unless unless there's really no other
way they can do it, then you know, but since when do we fund
public funds for coal plants overseas? Mexico is what
foreign? I think that means Mexico?
We don't know that.
Yes, we do. That's Are you kidding?
We don't know this just Mexico.
Oh, no, but that's important to us because they're shutting down
coal plants in Texas. Texas now buys its electricity from Mexico
from coal plants built by GE did you know this?
No. Texas piece of news Yeah,
they shut down they shutting down all these Do you remember
the Super Bowl we had here in Texas? We have a Super Bowl with
like the power went out.
Right right. Yes. Is the power of the this was the Super Bowl
in Dallas. Yeah,
that's because they had to shut down the plants the shutting
down these coal plants in Texas, so that we can then import
energy from Mexico with coal from coal plants. It's not like
the coal dust doesn't float over the border built by GE it's you
can't make you can't make this stuff up
the viable way for the poorest countries to generate
electricity. Yeah.
You know what I just say screw the poor countries what I say
Screw you guys. Alright, then the final final bit. And this is
this just put it all to rest. So the conversation is over. You
just need to shut up.
Nobody has a monopoly on what is a very hard problem. But I don't
have much patience for anyone who denies that this challenge
is real. No.
The sciences we don't have time for a meeting of the flatter
society.
We don't have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society.
Wow. You know, it's funny because I heard that thing but
taking it apart the way you just did by deconstructing and
listening to each segue And then trying to figure out what it's
about. Because everything's about something. Yeah. And then
coming up with a shut up slave at the end, would it got you a
clip of the week? It's definitely the produce thing you
did, which I'm gonna, I want you to play again at the end of
Yeah, no, I understand I understand. And well, let me
wrap it up then because this whole speech was filled with
performative and one of our producers, who just blew my
mind, let me see if I have this producers. Let me see who the
this was Mike Karasik. Adam, I study linguistics in college and
grad school. So your discussion of performative on Sunday show
was very interesting. I was thinking about it. So this is we
have smart people listening grad school. I mean, if that means
you as a professor,
no, no, it means he's a visa grad student trying to get his
PhD or his masters.
So he may already have it. He may already be there. But I
didn't go to college. So I'm already impressed. I got a
college kid talking to me. Yeah. I was thinking, I think I found
the ultimate performative. Would you like to hear it, John?
No, not really.
saying Obama, do solemnly swear That I will faithfully execute,
that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the
United States.
If the whole oath is a performative I do solemnly swear
That I will faithfully execute to the best of my ability,
the office of President of the United States, and will to the
best of my ability, and will to the best of my ability,
preserve, protect, and defend, preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States.
The whole thing is open to interpretation now.
Well, he's already interpreted that his job is not to defend
the Constitution, but to protect us from evil.
And let me just mess with your head. No agenda show final note
for today from Jared, I had to call Microsoft this morning and
remembered what was said on Sunday show, I was on hold. And
I said, Fuck, each time, the voice system wanted me to say
things like office, I was then told to hold on for a
representative. The outsource representative was even nicer
than usual. To me, I think the tip works.
Why don't you re explain the tip to somebody who didn't catch
that show.
We've had multiple sis administrators who work on voice
systems, emails about voice recognition that of course, the
NSA employs and uses to listen to everything. And these are
used in commercial companies. And if the voice system detects
you are agitated, you get moved to the front of the line. And
all you have to do and he specifically said the F word is
the word that you use and make it sound like you're really
agitated. And this guy tested it he called Microsoft. And every
single time he had to provide an answer with I don't even think
you have to wait for the voice prompt. You say fuck, Pa and
boom, he got immediately put onto a live person within 35
seconds.
That is that is the tip of the of the year for us.
Well, they it goes along with our can't raise my arms above my
shoulder thing. Yeah, well, there's
that. But what you don't not everyone's flying around all the
time. You do need technical support, or you have to call
these these phony machines constantly. Yeah, so yeah, it's
interesting.
Now, I mean, we need to try it. Everyone, please try this. We
really, really didn't know that this is working. But to me, this
is fact proof. I'm liking it. And that alone, that alone will
be worth your price of admission to this podcast.
I'm gonna show my son move by donation to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
This is a fact. I think I'm telling you one hour of that
would be ideal. Just over and over again. I'll put you by two
yet but five seconds in between try try it now.
Oh, I just dropped it. Well, it's kind of wait, hold on. I
know how to do this. This. This is a fact that I'll do I'll do a
couple of times in a row on a second. Let me set it up.
Because now you're asking me to do stuff that wasn't prepared.
So what should it be a little, like something in between or
just be? This is a fact and then a pause? About five seconds?
Okay. All right. Then again, forever. Here
we go. This is a fact. This is a fact.
Now today's gonna be more in behind. More time in between, I
think close to 10 seconds. Really? Yeah. Okay, well, let's
try it. This is a fact. This is a fact. This is a fact. Yeah,
I think that would be
done. I'm not done yet.
This is a fact. This is a fact.
Yeah, this is a fact. And then you can play that that bald guy
the.
Okay, I'll do that at the end of the show. Okay, here we
go. And let's just thank a few of the producers. Please save me
five. Jason Stevens in lost wages. Nevada $111.11. Alan
$110, just plain old Allen in Silverdale. Washington, home of
the Silverdale mall. I just got my DoD federal furlough letter,
so I'd better do this now while I can still afford it. Yeah, we
just got a birthday shout out for George Orwell.
Really? Is that on the list?
She would think so. It's all highlighted. Philip mercury,
mercury in rothem. Munster,
okay, I would say markert manuscripta. Mafia, macro, macro
and Gitmo Deutschland
Deutschland 100 bucks.
Let's see. What does he say here?
Hi. Having lost show out of sight for a longer period of
time. I'd like to report back by donating some my hard earned
money as an employee of the Deutsche Bahn. Oh, he's
the railroad man. Yeah. Byron good Fluke slick. Actually, they
have their debts crazy look Beep beep beep beep the horn which
I'd love to get a good recording of
we need to do a German version should be einsteiger on the
board trains
would men call a colon or Colin 9495 Note Ervin EarLens Jr.
Split 7557 and Alameda California. Josh Morris. 69. Oh,
sorry. I was still I'm still on my German vibe. Oh, there we go.
69.
Last show we did there was four and then of course, it's all
been downhill since our big 6969 days. Yeah, he says he's been a
boner for too long, reasonable karma at the end of the day, at
the end of the messaging Matthew Wittering 69 in Bedford, by the
way of Morris was in character Matthew. Kearney. Missoura sir
Matthew Wittering in Bedfordshire, UK. Greg Gregory
ball and Wallsend tine on tasers.
It's done. Holy mackerel.
That's it. Done. So we'll have probably two on Sunday and then
I think this whole thing which has been going on for over a
year will be dead. Good. I know you've been you've been looking
forward to it.
Yeah, yeah, that's me, man.
I've been looking forward to it and looking forward to it.

Oh, that's Brian and Susie. Is it Yeah, Brian and Susie Morris
the member we stayed at their house. And they've they've
invited us they now they went from their place in Ohio.
Remember, the these are the these are the cats who said oh,
you know we're on vacation. But here's the keys to the car, the
keys to the house. You know, do whatever you want. They now have
like 153 acres in Liberty Maine. And I don't think they have
electricity.
But I just get one of those woodburners Yeah.
Brian Has anybody got stuff I'm sure

Walker spring Texas and Gregory Rosati and Suffolk Virginia.
That's it. We're done. Okay, shortlist.
Yes. Well, thank you very much. We highly appreciate any
donations. We really love the monthlies that people are
stepping up to more and more it seems whether it's $5 or if you
get on to 3333 or maybe $4 a you know the for a week it really is
it we appreciate it very much please check your subscription
because Pay Pal likes to just stop it cut it off and then say
we had two this week that that we rejected Yeah, because we
just we just don't want your money. So we know we know that's
right. We reject it so funny. Yeah. Yeah, it's hilarious. Was
there a note here from Sir Ryan, we had to read. There was
something on the I've got Hey, John and Adam, when this whole
NSA spying thing broke nobody in the office except for me. Were
completely shocked that our own government do such a thing. Oh,
did we get it? Did we get something from Brian? I don't
think so.
Anyway, no, but I did get an anonymous thing.
But let me let me finish this note. How could members of our
own government sworn to protect the Constitution go behind our
backs and do such a thing? My boss with whom I've discussed no
agenda several times summed it up best when he said, you know,
the worst thing about the NSA spying is that they're proving
Adam curry right he said time to donate. So he was even he's in
he said, If Pay Pal he was sending us a check so that's
very cool. But that's that is kind of sad when and more and
more I'm seeing this. People saying hey, oh, this tinfoil hat
people will raid me Have you seen that? Have you noticed
this? Yeah. So what is it? What is the appropriate response?
What should we be doing about this? Nothing just screws
the sawed off.
All right. Hey. And also thank you very much to our executive
producers and Associate Executive Producers actual
credits. If you need someone to vouch for you just have them
call us we'll take care yeah. vorak.org/and A.
Munich he regulates himself. He turns 30. Today, Chris heffleys
has Happy Birthday to himself on the 29th and his daughter Jersey
will be 12 on July 2, happy birthday jersey. Gerald Beth Key
says Happy Birthday to George Orwell it would have been 110 on
June 25. Dan Miller's dad celebrates on the 30th Lawrence
Dring says Happy Birthday to his daughter Harley Dring happy 18th
Prime no agenda material. And Rebecca waters has a birthday
shout out as well. And I remembered Rolf Lehmann Happy
birthday to you Ralph, your birthday on the 30th from all
your friends here at the best podcast in the universe. Please
remember us for the Sunday show. It's always a little slow on
Sunday today was like so we are going into the summer months we
need extra help it because it's not like like the workload gets
less. John Stewart went on vacation thinking what could go
actually
I think Yeah. directing movies on vacation. He misses all the
good stuff.
I think he's directing a movie or something. But yeah, we can't
we can't leave. We're going to take that thing to shows off.
We're working
on July the fourth. Yeah. What what what what person on
television works on July the fourth? Nobody.
I've been a fan of Howard Stern ever always liked what he do
what he does on the radio. And I grew up when I grew up, but I
listened to him in New York. When I had no was driving an MTV
from Jersey when I lived in New York, and also when were my
first company, and I was I listened a lot. And I think he
still has quite a big following. on Sirius XM. Would you say
that's pretty much all that.
That's all listen, I've listened to one time when it last time I
drove up to Washington, I ended up listening to Howard Stern on
a lot of the trip because I had a satellite radio in the car.
And I would say that one thing that's interesting about this
was just best off. So it was just like a lot of his stuff. I
think the one thing that's overlooked about him since he's
he kind of presents himself as a douchebag. But he is one of the
most interesting and outrageously talented
interviewers. Yeah, than I've ever heard in my life because he
will get people because the way he does it. I mean, I follow
interviewers, because I think you can learn a lot if you do
interviewing at all, and I do it occasionally. You can learn a
lot by watching the best I mean, Larry King was another good one.
He had some tricks that were interesting, but but Stern is
absolutely astonishing. The way he will start to dig at somebody
when he when he senses a nugget that he wants to get out. Yeah.
And he will just go after and dig and dig and dig and any
somewhat irresistible I suppose.
And luckily he has always kept Robin by his side, for she
understands how this country works. Stern, not so much.
government surveillance efforts are credited with boiling more
than 50 terror plots since 911. This is all since you know it
was leaked that the NSA is spying on us. They now are
saying look because of that spying. We've been foiling
terror plots. Yeah, of course. So I believe that is their
excuse.
He's He's truthful here. That's the sad part. People who don't
believe anything that government says but I believe them. You
know, we've heard about some of them.
There's no problem with wanting to catch terrorists. The problem
is when my rights as an American citizen are infringed upon
because of your desire to be safe.
Listen, we're talking about people being blown up. Place,
yes.
But we're also talking about people having information they
might use against people who don't
deserve to next time by the next time a World Trade Center thing
goes off or a dirty bomb, God forbid goes off and we can't
read your
How bad is this? He just goes on and on and on. He thinks
is terrible. And then they bought into that 50 terror apply
bull crap, because we had a clip on the last show people that
didn't listen, the last show they should listen to this clip,
which was which was a caucus discussion in front of all the
aides and some of the congressional aides were the guy
outline the ones that were revealed and they were all
bogus. There were damning, foiled nothing.
I get goes on and on. And I'll leave it in the in the show
notes so you can listen to the whole clip. But he just keeps on
going. He knew like if you want to say something private, don't
say it on the phone. Don't say it on email. Yeah, let's
just turn into a Stasi branded operation. Yeah, that's
terrible. There's no excuse. Now this is what this is what
happens when you're a guy that has over $100 million in the
bank. He's got half a billion dollars. I believe they gave him
so much money. And he doesn't care anymore. He doesn't care
about the the people.
The people who made a man dude, we made you do and W ne W man.
So they've K rock man. Interesting job of slamming
Ecuador. I've noticed. There's a couple of things. I want to
point out that I thought were another thing that was never
asked by the media. But I thought was hilarious that no
one's ever brought this up. When Snowden was supposedly on the
flight to depending on who you talk to Cuba, or Venezuela from
the Russian airport on slide seat 15, on an Aeroflot flight,
you remember that? It wasn't? This is all this is no way. This
is the part of you that no one's talking about. And I would like
to see somebody even bring it up. Does anybody noticed the
hilarity of this of this whole thing? Because that plane was
stuffed with reporters? Yeah. So here you are. You're a reporter
you found out about this because they publicize the flight
number, you get a ticket. Now you're on a flight to Venezuela
with nothing to do and you got to go turn back around the other
way. This is a this is just to me, this is the funniest thing
about this whole deal was all these boneheads have gotten
where am I go? Oh, man, I'm gonna be stuck in Venice or
Cuba? Cuba, I don't even have a hotel room.
Oh, that's what these guys do. They go there they go get drunk
and have sex with each other.
Know that maybe? That could be Yeah. But they're already doing
that, we have to remember that I got two clips about Ecuador, and
they're dead. They're doing everything they can to defame
the place. And they got these people with these crazy analysis
that are crap. But I want to make sure that people remember
if you've read one of our seminal books that we push on
this show, which is Confessions of an economic hitman. And we
have at least one if not a bunch of economic hitman men who
listen to the show. The target of the government was going to
be Ecuador. And for various reasons, Ecuador managed to pull
out of the being used by the United States to be just
exploited. And they're still trying to get money from
Standard Oil for screwing up of once it was a part of their
environment with a big oil spill, they won't clean up and
the US won't do anything about it. And they the the guy who
wrote it a Confessions of an economic hitman. One wants to
move to Ecuador thinks is a great place and a lot of people
you know, think it's a it's a fine place to live because you
don't have a lot of these crazy influences. But they're doing
everything they can on these TV shows, to blast the crap out of
Ecuador that make it sound like it's the world's worst place.
And we just played these goods comments on Ecuador and then
Ecuador to
Ecuador grants Nova pass Should we stop handing them the cash,
the US shelling out more than $21 million this year to the
Latin American nation on top of another $11 million requested
for next year. National security analyst Aaron Cohen said
love this The sound effects are off the hook on this show.
You're gonna have to use that on PBS.
What are we flying through the screen when he's talking like
this?
They just show a little just nothing.
Cut them off. If they cut this guy, right. That's what you do
and just cut them right off right there.
Go I think we need to take a look at a couple of hard facts.
Stuart regarding Ecuador. I don't think many people are
aware but the fact We don't even have an Ecuadorian ambassador in
the US. And the reason why is because in April 2011, a secret
classified cable was leaked by our then ambassador in Ecuador,
which had significant proof and information that there was such
an extreme amount of corruption in Ecuador. And so they ended up
tossing him out. And so effectively ended up tossing the
ambassador here in the US out, as you know, to reciprocate it.
So the fact is, is that we're giving millions and millions of
dollars to this country right now who may potentially be
harboring somebody who could have been responsible for one of
the most massive intelligent leaks in the history of both
private contracting and our espionage world, which could
affect the national security of the threat level for us on a
very high macro level as it pertains to terrorism. So we've
had trouble with these guys for a long time. Well,
whoever the guy is, does he have a book out? And he better have a
book?
No, you said he's got some private operation total, just to
see that he had anything going on that would even research
we need we need to sound a little more important. I don't
think we're doing it right. So I'm gonna have you intro Ecuador
to but I'm going to first set you up. So no agenda show we
have John C. Dvorak. John. What is your Ecuador clip?
I don't know. But I've got it. Do we have
that much leverage? But if we suggest we'll take away the cash
$21 million? If you give him asylum, is that much leverage
for people who are already hostile to us?
i It's a good question. I think that $20 million is a lot of
leverage to a country that faces as much corruption as Ecuador
does get to remember that $21
million. That's what an actor gets for a movie. This is not
money Johnny Depp's getting this is not money,
corridors a country that is one of the the largest countries
involved with money laundering, which is a key element of
terrorism. And it's also one of the hubs for processing one of
the chemical elements in cocaine, and they also allow
those drugs to be able to be moved freely. And while they
claim they want to clean up their country. The fact is, is
that there's very little proof of that. And so I think, taken
away those funds, will actually deliver a significant enough hit
for those people if and for that government to go, Hey, wait a
second here. Maybe we need to have a closer look at our policy
regarding US security interest, particularly with our spy
business as it relates to terror. This is serious stuff.
You're a national security analyst, in your opinion. Is it
like
a stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. This is what I'm going to try
the next dinner. When I'm introduced to the professor, the
performance linguistic professor? Yeah, it's you say
what do you do? I'm a national security analyst. Yeah, I'm
gonna be become one to think that's we are we are national
security analysts that Snowden
has already given this guy, whatever information he can to
China and Russia.
I think that I That's a good question. I think that we have
to assume that that whatever information Snowden had on his
little martyr, escapade, which is really what this is right
now. It's this attention. I'm gonna throw
up. Yeah, this gets good. You got to back it up. So here the
whole thing. It's beautiful. Okay. All right. escapade,
ever information Snowden had on his little martyr escapade,
which is really what this is right now. It's just attention
seeking bizarre thing that's happening I believe that we have
to treat this particular case as if all of the information that
he may have access to was leaked all right,
I was I brought the other point which is if they don't have
gotten spies, they got more stuff this don't ever dug up.
Can I just say one thing?
Say two things. How
fantastic is Australia?
What did the guy who finally got rid of the of the ginger
ale but they've got apparently I did not know this. But we have a
system in Australia. Where it's like a poison pill. It's like
this one's no good. Get rid of this one. We'll put another one
in place. Can you imagine if we had that here?
Well, they have that in in the UK too. And in Canada, it's the
same system. And yeah, you can get these people you can house
these people at the drop of a hat.
I love that system. I know. Come on. It's great.
Well, it's it has its problems too. I mean, look at that. She
got in and she was stuck on it for a long time. She should have
been out for a long time now. People are in there for decades.
Of course it has his problems and the main problem being the
Queen has to approve it. The Queen of England is is okay I
prove that's the real problem. Now she it but it's just
theater.
By the way. I want to go back to that clip where the guy says oh,
they had chemical elements, chemical elements in the
processing of the cocaine. What is that? elements that
pneumonia what is it called beliefs? No, no you make you
make coke with other stuff don't you
know yeah it's coca leaves you to extract the coca leaves you
don't you don't you stop Ecuador and and Peru both are cocaine
legalized as cocaine is legal but nobody uses it. They use
these leaves constantly because they're high altitude countries.
And so people are chewing on these leaves constantly. It's a
it's a great product. And you know they're not part of the
cartels or anything else. This is this.
It's a great product. Do you just say that?
I've used it? Cocaine? No, no, the lead. Oh,
okay. In what the lead? What have you used that in?
I use it when I was in the Andes and I was floating around and
you if you don't have this stuff, my favorite example Okay,
so there's my old man up.
please indulge me for a moment. I want everyone to get a little
visual. Close your eyes. John is roaming around in the Andes.
Exactly. So here I am. And so I'm up in this that for I think
we're at 14 Five or some some altitude by yourself, where you
with the group of people who just want to visit some little
village? Do you ever Sherpa? That's the that the Sherpas are
in a different part of the world. Anyway, so what is Zol?
Guys? I knew about the coca leaf trick. Yes,
you chew it for height six altitude sickness
well, and energy because you don't just walk here.
Yeah, no kidding. For energy,
don't get a buzz from it. This whole thing is bogus and very
promising. They have all that they have the coca tea, you
drink a bunch of that. And then you get the coca leaf. And you
put the cocoa and the guys, old guys show me how to do it, you
know, and I'm like the only guy like he was showing you how to
cut a guy. Group. That's true in this stuff, because the other
Americans are all lots of it's illegal. And so I'm thinking,
Andy's, for God's sake, was this group from Berkeley?
No, they're just a bunch of guys from around the country. But
whatever the case is they none of them but myself, and maybe
one other guy would chew these leaves. And so and I'm like, the
oldest guy by 20 years, because they're all a bunch of
millennials or ex generals or whatever. So I am wandering
around and it's very hard to was,
first of all, you know, you've told us this story before,
right? Oh, yeah, twice. But I would like you to add a new
twist I want Who are these guys?
I don't remember. Oh, bull crap. You
don't remember? What group were you with? You know that they
were Gen X's. So who were these people, you need to give us a
new information. By by the by the just be honest, for once.
I'm always honest, I'm just trying to think what the group
was called at the time. It was Roberto milk and a bunch of his
compatriots who run a Import Export operation. A group of us
to go visit one of the
import export a Roberto
was in fact, I think, I think was bought by National
Geographic called Novica.
He's Roberto milk from the Novica. Yeah, Novica, a mission
driven company that works with artisans around Are you an
artisan?
No, I was brought to meet some of these artisans. I was part of
a group, what
is an artisan there guys who make pots. Maybe let me finish.
I want to be an artisan. I don't want to be an analyst anymore.
All right, finish your story. And
if you have any skills, so you're a better analyst. So
anyway, so. So meanwhile, there's very few of us are
chewing on it. But I'm chewing on his fine, we wandered around,
we visited some places. And then we have to come down back. We
have to walk up a hill in downtown in order to get back to
the bus. And I am walking past these kids who are 20 years
younger than me and they're bent over trying to catch their
breath. And it was like and I just breezed right by him and go
get in the bus and wait for him to finally drag their sorry
asses to the bus. Because there's pooped because they
can't they wouldn't draw again. Just illegal. It's like you're
with you people.
And it's still a good story. And did you go Hey, girls, as you
walk by? You know, you
think this story is so funny. I think it's pathetic because you
have a situation where you have a very positive product. And the
coca leaf tea is a great product. It's an it's like it's
thought of as cocaine which is bullcrap
this somehow there's the come Okay, let me explain why it's
funny. So your stories never tie. It's like my uncle Don.
I've heard him tell the shoot debajo story 10 times and it's
funny every single time. And when you tell a story, it's the
combination of you painting the picture, and the chat room. Just
bring it to life.
Screw the chat room.
I like it. No, I'm
sad. I wasn't there.
You woulda loved it. Great.
I would have been. I've been like drugs handed over. Let's do
it. JCD were hard drugs.
Is that you? They serve coca leaf tea in the airport lounge.
No,
no, no, you are debunking great myths. I like it. And I just
liked that these. These idiot Gen Xers like Ooh, man, it's
coke. I can't have that. And yeah, that's funny. When they
saw that when they saw you doing it, why didn't someone go wait a
minute?
Yeah, they just did. It was an old Berkeley hippie. I don't
know what they're thinking. All right,
so that was Berkeley people. Anyway, artisans. I'm an
entertainment artisan. Well, I like that I like your stories. I
really do.
I'm not telling that story again, ever.
Oh, please. I'll make sure you bring it up.
So anyway, there's a couple of things. I wanted to mention the
second half of the show before we get to the spinning mummy.
Whoa, hold on a second. You can't just go to second half
without the official
resources. No entry. Second half.
So tonight, we're talking about my anecdotes I've ever mentioned
the story where I worked with Dianne Feinstein
know the douchebag of California. Yeah, I also
Barbara Boxer, both them and they were both on the air
pollution District Board of Directors and did a bunch of
things for them. And the hearing board I believe and and I've
always thought the two things. Two things were noteworthy. One
is that this is like long time ago, but Barbara Boxer was
always trying to pick up the air pollution inspectors. And she
always knew me
for like six, yes. Whoa, really? Barbara Boxer? Yeah. If she
looked at me, she looks like you know the type. But anyway, but
the better story. Doesn't she mentioned her 20 years? Yeah,
hold on. Hold
on. Oh, yeah. Oh, she looks totally slutty. You're so right.
Is she married?
I don't know.
I can follow her career. Can I just say something? If I were
you married at the time.
I never to do a driver home because I was warned. But guys
didn't like they were she was very pushy,
but 20 years ago, come on, and I would have done her.
Well, you probably would have. Yeah. So anyway, so here's the
story. The better story is the Dianne Feinstein story. So we
have a it was actually longer than 20 years ago. So it shows
really, she was really So Diane. So we have the dispatch room,
which also was the file room. And so there's a couple of women
dispatchers in the file room, and it was just about no windows
is in the middle of the place is horrible. So they decided the
the women decided they're going to keep the back door open. So
they get some sunlight in there. And it's a nicer place. When
once they opened the back door and left it open inspectors
would commonly go into the file part of this operation and steal
files. They just take them because then they wouldn't check
them out. Because it was what's the worst pain in the ass pain
in the ass. Right. And they bring it back later. So the the
women working in the in the dispatch office because they
were responsible for all these missing files. They put a chain
across the door, they bolted a chain to keep guys from coming
in and out. But they kept the door open. Feinstein with all
her wisdom. She comes rolling in and she sees the chain. And she
sees the women. And she makes a big stink saying why are they
chaining the door to block these women in place? It's disgusting.
It's sexist, right? And no one would they tried to explain to
her that this was no this was to keep the inspectors from coming
in and out and casually grabbing files, which was a huge problem.
But no, she would have none of it. The chain had to be removed.
And so with a router they had to close the door. So they locked
these girls back up into this dark room. And this is the kind
of idiot that she is. So you have to take always assume she's
a dummy. And the point I'm going to make here is here's your
idiotic suppositions about Snowden. Let's play that first.
Okay. I was wondering the story.
I had actually thought that China would see this as an
opportunity to improve relations and extradite him to the United
States. China clearly had a role in this in my view. I don't
think this was just Hong Kong without Chinese acquiescence. I
think his choice of Moscow was interesting. thing. I think
what's interesting is that he was taken off in a car and his
luggage in a separate car. I think it'll be very interesting
to see what Moscow does with him. Thirdly, he clearly was
aided and abetted, possibly by the WikiLeaks organization, I
heard a rumor that he was traveling with someone. And so
this had to have been all pre planned.
Wow. Alright, so this book is not a single fact in there,
not all bullshit, whatever she heard in the She's the head of
the Intelligence Committee for the Senate. So she gets to hear
everything. And the other guy who's also a stooge, which is
Mike Rogers is the head of the Intelligence Committee for the
house. And both of these people, Mike Rogers, in particular, I
believe, actually think they're spies. There, though, they have
all this information that the rest of Congress does not have.
And they're essentially working for the agencies that they're
supposed to be doing oversight on. And this is explained in a
clip called Capture theory that public administrators know
about. And if you play the capture theory, clip, you can
see what's happening here and why these people are essentially
useless in this job
and certifications, the court has pretty limited discretion in
denying that order. And also, for more generally, there's a
concept in public choice theory called regulatory capture. The
idea here is that a regulatory agency that works very closely
with a particular regulated industry will often get captured
by that industry. In effect, the regulation will become not a way
of checking the industry, but a form of serving its interests,
because that's who the regulators are, are spending
most of their time talking to. I think there's a lot of evidence
to suggest that something similar may have happened with
the FISA Court, which again, is meeting in secret with one side,
kind of, you know, continuously one tidbit of evidence here,
right, is that we know, initially, the kind of bulk
metadata surveillance that we've seen disclosed in these orders
was done, just according to presidential directive without
court order. And so you ask, Well, why if the court can do
this, and this is all legal under the Patriot Act, would you
not just have gone that route from the beginning? And I think
the answer seems to be pretty clearly no one, in fact, thought
initially, that the Patriot Act had authorized this kind of bulk
collection brought as it was, but once that was underway, and
had been going on for a while, the court was able to be sort of
brought around into signing off on that, even though no one had
initially imagined it was something that was within their
power to authorize.
Oh, really. So he brings up this capture theory, which I thought
explains to me at least why when you hear Mike Rogers or you hear
Feinstein, the head of these committees, these intelligence
oversight committees, they don't talk like anyone who's doing
oversight, they literally lorded over everybody else, Rogers in
particular, and they just, they think they think they're working
for the CIA. They're there they think that oh, I'm a spy. I know
all this cool stuff. And Rogers is the worst example of this and
his other buddy the other guy is on the committee and they come
out and Lord over we know what's going on. We've heard this stuff
behind closed doors, take our word for it. And this is they
have been captured by the intelligence community they
should all be fired from this from the intelligence oversight
committees and they should put new people in who who are not
captured until at least do some real oversight. This is
terrible, I guess. Yeah, we should do it we'd be great.
Feinstein is a perfect example everything she said in that
little gossipy thing was somebody told her and secret and
she's just kind of revealing some of it you know, the two
cars and all the rest of who would know this Yeah. Anyway, I
find these people to be disgust
abhorrent I think is the word you're looking for is gonna say
that I think the word abhorrent is a good word and valid in this
case. I need to switch some gears now. And I would like you
to acknowledge the fact that I have been very good at not
starting off every sentence with so
you've been great at it, but you should not acknowledge that I
was about to say amazing once in the show, and I said astounding.
Yes. But you also have been saying so quite a bit.
It's on my secondary.
I tried this in my daily life. It's extremely difficult.
It is ringing the bell if you hear me saying
Oh, please. We can't have the cannot call. It's called no
agenda, not the bell show. Quick move over to Europe. I just need
to get some international news in here and then maybe if you're
interested we can talk about some local Texas news. In in
Euro land couple of things going on. First of all, the Germans
are now saying well, you know According to the ESM, which is
this European Stability Mechanism, which I was all on
for months and months and months, and then they passed it
two years early. They expect any bank bailout in Germany will
also require at least an 8% tax on anyone who has their money in
the German bank. I think yeah, I think it's it's quite astounding
news. Wow. Yeah. And then so they're really making a big deal
out of this you know, you know, the bond the the boondocks
constantly a bank, Bala Germany requires compulsory levy of 8%.
And this is being discussed in the at the Bundesbank. And it
but it turns out, it's all part of the ESM, which is kind of
what we were saying. And this was rushed through and I was
like, oh, yeah, great, great, great. It'll save everything,
but it's coming out of the slaves, very own pockets. And so
I think we can expect I said it, I think we can expect to see
this happen very soon. Since they are talking about it more
and more. Along with that comes a setup interview. Very funny.
Haiku Herman the pred, the outgoing president of the United
States of Europe, and haiku. Herman, this is when he was at
the g8. And he had a camera crew with a blonde who is asking fake
questions by fake citizens of Europe, only for him to tell you
exactly what's going to happen. Now. They've been talking about
this tax avoidance that people are stealing from their fellow
European citizens by not paying tax. In this particular one
minute interview where the Haiku Herman answers the question,
he's really telling you that they that the European
government in Brussels is going to know everything about your
money, where it comes from. And this is about total control of
you as an individual. Hello, Europe. Mr. President, we
have a question from Johan who is asking how do you plan to
tackle tax fraud and tax havens?
Sounds like a question Johan, would ask doesn't have all the
questions I could ask the president of Europe that would
be Hey, how you gonna tackle that. But first
and foremost, this is a national competence. And we see big
difference inside the Union on the results of the fight against
tax fraud and tax avoidance. When you compare the so called
black markets, you'll see a huge divergence in the union, some
have highly developed, black economies have parts of the
economy are black, and oldest haven't that at all, or mostly
not nearly adult. So the effectiveness of tax authorities
is absolutely key and to strengthen tax authorities to
make them more effective to thank and also the legislation
is is absolutely key in the in the fight against tax fraud and
tax avoidance. Now, at the Union level, there we decided on an
automatic exchange of information on savings first,
and that we are already working on this automatic change since
2005. And now, we are broadening the scope to all kinds of
incomes, also incomes of employment, for instance,
capital gains, royalties, dividends, and hopefully we will
have that kind of automatic exchange of information starting
from 1015. So we are not touching upon the tax levels is
not an exercise in tax harmonization. It is the
automatic exchange of information between the
countries.
And of course, the removal of cash from the equation because
that's how you get the black markets as he was saying this is
a total clampdown on Europe total.
Oh, yeah. Well, you know, the thing is that the solution to
tax fraud, which is illegal and tax avoidance, which really
isn't, is simple and I don't understand why they go through
all this trouble when they can solve the problem quite quickly
and quite easily
by killing everybody.
Wealth Tax,
wealth tax. Yeah, yeah, that's it baby. That's the ticket.
Wealth. That's what they do in Switzerland. Wealth Tax, you tax
the wealth, you don't tax the income. The income is crazy to
tax people are trying to get wealthy so they can tag be
taxed. But it's like this, like the 8% across the board, that's
no good. It should be a wealth tax should be your total wealth
should be taxed a certain amount, not that much. And it
will until you make a couple million dollars a year your
taxes will actually go down. super wealthy, sitting on their
money.
And you just gonna keep saying this until you're dead until I'm
dead too. We're all dead because it's never gonna happen. They're
gonna do this. They want to steal your money. They want to
steal your money. I interested in fairness, there is
that have you been listening to all this cool stuff? You know,
you've got a lot of good clips today I have to say, Well, I
have a little more. Well, I want to just take a break here and
show you the unfortunate situation that I was in, because
I ended up picking up some clips that are just dreadful,
horrible. And let's not let's not play them. Let's not have to
play the show. You know what, what agony have gone? No, no,
no, come
on, not the spinning mummy.
No, not that. That's later. The classic later. The classic Fox
name calling clip.
Listen to on Fox fears you are judicially challenged and you're
one of the Stooges of the left. That will always be there to
excuse away criminal behavior. You suffer from Bob Beck
colitis, which is incurable, fatal condition of liberalism
that has caused people like Eric Holder to be the concept, Larry
for President Barack Hussein Obama signed the petition Tamra
to call for the resignation of the chief law enforcement
officer of this nation because he lied under oath when he
criminalize journalism. And you know, he did it but you refuse
to do what's right. But I
really hope that when you speak to a judge, you don't point your
finger in the person's face the entire time by making your point
or her does not whose face right now, because I'm telling you to
shut up. But anyway,
I mean, you shut up know your role and shut your mouth. My
role as a woman.
You're gonna know, I'm not gonna cry. Shake hands and make
friends. I don't shake trolls. Oh, see, takes the place of
where you started.
To fall back on I think you're taking lessons from Michelle
Malkin on how to call for a ride. All right.
Okay. Don't ever do that to me again. And I am putting my
finger in your face. Don't ever make me listen to that again.
That is that is just a whole minute and three seconds of my
life wasted a yeah,
we've heard that bit before. I know. I know. I try. Come on.
This is that kind of thing that this is Fox? Because they have
to go after Snowden.
Let me deconstruct something for you. I'm done. I'm so done with
Snowden. I'm so done with it. Look, bottom line. The
government is spying on your ass. You're a slave Shut up. Now
let me let's just laugh about some other things. Because
Because you I can tell you're very very annoyed by this. By
this total lack of information you grew up in by the coverage
with the coverage. You grew up in a different era with
different type of news men, because I think there was all
men at the time. And you're very annoyed by this lack of
coverage, but you can't make up for it.
I can make up for it with this clip to show you the how clever
the how clamped down this is. And by the way, the clip you're
going to listen to this, this this this item this product
ShotSpotter this product was in Boston when all was great when
all the craziness was coming about nobody ever said can we
look at the ShotSpotter data, because we could have solved
some very interesting answers some very interesting questions
about these two guys running around.
Every day, gun violence is taking a massive emotional and
economic toll on communities all over the world. public safety
agencies are doing their best, but resources are shrinking. In
some communities, fewer than 25% of gunshot incidents are
recorded. These communities aren't just under threat.
They're losing hope. It's time to fight back. With a proven
force multiplier that's operationally effective and cost
effective. It's time to fight back with ShotSpotter
ShotSpotter is the critical solution agencies need to
pinpoint every gunfire incident even when no one calls to
respond safely and quickly. And to create real deterrence
against illegal gunfire. ShotSpotter is the critical
first step in stopping gun violence. ShotSpotter enhances
every aspect of law enforcement operations providing
unprecedented situational awareness for faster and safer
response.
Are they sending us a check?
Say should you can play the whole thing or not? But the
point is, is that unbeknownst to most people this says the system
is in almost every major city is in Oakland is in San Francisco.
It's all over the place.
I need to ask you a question. I one of my military contacts sent
me a link about this particular product with the and the link
was directly to the page about all the all the cities that this
is in Where did you get this from and why? Because I think
this there's something there's someone's trying to communicate
something to me And I looked at this I saw this I saw this
commercial and I'm like, Okay, why is why is my back
all I know is that this would have did the Boston situation,
this ShotSpotter data would have told us what was really going on
with that bullcrap that that theater that they were playing
where they apparently took the one brother and they brought him
down and there was holding him down and then the other brother
while the guy was standing right there with a gun this is the way
the story was told. ran him over and they didn't shoot the guy in
the car and where did
you get the link? Where did you find out about this product?
I probably from the same guy sent you that the links online I
went through all of them. I was fascinated by this thing because
it's a little it's a little box with a it's got a recorder or
some sort of triangulation system for that whole city. It's
been around a
long time. It also just basically listens to everything
that's going on. It's not just for shots. I mean, this
is I don't think you can pick up a guy talking.
No, now that's impossible. Sure. I got Mickey got a new iPhone.
Because we got the upgrade from AT and T for being such a loyal
customer. Yeah, so I went to the Apple store that's why we also
the Genius Bar this crap. And so now installed on your iPhone is
giant voice system. To the President the President can talk
to your iPhone through Yes. So it pre installed you get Amber
Alerts and an emergency alerts. And you can turn those off but
you can't turn off the can the the Presidential alerts. Yes,
at&t, and they're going to do it on all phones. That now the
president can get essentially press a button and talk to all
of you on his on your phone. Wow, yeah, take that.
ShotSpotter Wow, man. Yeah, this is
a scandal.
Please. Have you been following this Paula Dean thing? Because I
certainly wasn't. Uh, yeah,
I was kind of offhandedly following it, but I don't care
because she's just another celebrity chef on the Food
Network. It seems like a lot of publicity for them. And I didn't
want to bring it
out interesting. Because that's what I thought until one of a
very insistent producer was like now you got to look at this
thing. You got to look at this thing. Like did it and here's
what he basically was saying was Did you realize that the so
called the she used the N word which we can't use in America
but so somewhere she said nigger, I love having a podcast
because you can say that and not get fired. It's just a fucking
word people in context it's okay to say this. And but she said
this like 15 years ago. This is not like she's walking around
the Food Network office go hey, nigga, get me this nigga. It's
not like what happened. So why is she being railroaded? That
was basically the question my producer put to me. Okay, and
I'm like, Okay, and so you go back and look and she was in the
news around February. Why was she in the news is in February
Do you recall
now but you're gonna tell me
she had type two diabetes. And yeah, I remember that right. And
then from that she became the voice of Victoza and Victoza is
a is from Novartis. It is a diabetes drug. And she became
along with their sons I think she became the spokesperson for
this drug and you can see it at the voices of Victoza and she's
all over this thing all over the place. And, and so I'm like
okay, that's might be interesting. And then here's the
news from this from June 25. Headline Victoza in its
crosshairs, Eli Lilly Prime's for marketing duel. As the dust
settles from the American Diabetes Association meeting
this week, a marketing battle is brewing data presented at the
big con fab suggested that Eli Lilly is experimental GLP one
analog delay magnitude is largely on par efficacy wise
with some of its would be competition. There is a huge
marketing war underway. And we know we know what these drugs
are diet. Are you kidding me type two diabetes, we know that
the Lipitor even out of out of patent the revenues from Lipitor
is $2 billion more than the entire music industry, one drug,
so type two diabetes and then I find this little gem from the
Wall Street Journal he
Hawkins of The Wall Street Journal the Food Network
announcing that it will not be renewing the contract of Food
Network Star Paula Dean at the end of this month following
Dean's recent admission in a court deposition that she's
used, raised She'll epithets and told socially inappropriate
jokes in her past. The question now is well, Novo Nordisk a
pharmaceutical company that uses Dean to endorse its type two
diabetes drug be next. It doesn't look good for De Novo
Nordisk has put a lot of resources into corporate
diversity and sponsoring events that bring diabetes testing and
awareness to events that target African Americans and other
racial minorities who are disproportionately impacted by
type two diabetes
is obvious. If you want to kill your competition, take the
spokesperson, and you're going and your market is black people,
African Americans, yeah, then go after your spokesperson. Racist.
So did you were you stunned by this revelation?
I'm stunned that no one's put it together.
Okay. Well, I did. As we've done an entire show today. pointed
out questions aren't asked, the conclusions aren't drawn, the
obvious is ignored. And now you just bring another one.
And then I'd like to like to finally wind up from my end, and
I got clips. I got I just got one thing to say just want to
finalize this. When when we started podcasting, it truly is
a revolutionary thing, even though it's not it's not all
that complicated. And in these days is getting so much easier.
You just you can basically throw an mp3 file in an email. I mean,
when this started in 2004, it took hours to download stuff had
always on, you know, computing, but nothing was fast. And the
world has changed so dramatically. There is a group
of people I am convinced we are serving that we are serving
better than the entire mainstream publishing industry.
And in particular, because we deliver this information for
free, no charge. If Marshalls no commercials, if you find that
there's some value in the program, we'd love to receive
something back. That can be money is very important, because
we have no other jobs. And John, you seem to be getting
increasingly less work. You're getting fired from every every
column you're writing.
Is Near ageism.
Yes, of course. It's ageism. It's just an observation. But
yes. So this is what we do. I have no other plans. Yeah, you
know, we'll try and put a podcast device together or some,
you know, prepper as Dr. Hamlin, but there's always something to
do. But it's, I think the days of, hey, I made a million bucks.
That's over. That's and that's not happening anymore. I will be
doing this until I fall down. I'm pretty sure of it. I had no
idea but there is in Marrakech right now, a huge conference, a
douchebag conference, the diplomatic conference to
conclude a treaty to facilitate access to published works by
visually impaired persons and persons with print disabilities,
Stevie Wonder, has come out with a little video. This has been
going on for decades, decades to get this done and what it is it
should be evident, but I'll let him talk for a second here.
19. I spoke to Francis Kerry who gave me an update on your
negotiations. I was pleased to hear that you're working very
hard and that every one is committed to leaving Marrakech
with an agreement. This is music to my ears. And you all know how
much I love mixing music. I promised Francis that I would
come to America for a special celebration. If a treaty that
meets the expectations of the world's blind and visually
impaired is concluded. Okay, so
he goes on for a bit. And of course the end he always sees
things signed, sealed, delivered. I'm yours. Stevie
Wonder is saying if you guys get this deal together, I will come
to Marrakech, I'll do a free concert for you. I'll do
whatever it takes a blow you please because what is happening
is the publishers of the world refuse, refuse to publish 90
More than According to the documents more than 95% of all
published works are not published in print challenged,
or what have they call it formats, because they're afraid
that the Gouki IDE motherfuckers are going to steal their work
steal their copyrights.
How sad is it? What is that what
it says? It says Gouki IDE motherfuckers. Right.
Your profanity? Yes, it says that they're afraid that it's
going to be ripped off mindful of the challenges that are pre
alized. And let me get the logic straight. Because I want to ask
a simple question. You don't have a version for the blind
because if the blind get a version, which they can't,
they're not buying him anything now so there's no money being
lost in this deal. And if they start passing it around amongst
themselves the the blind version of braille version or a year
After the spoken word version, they're going to just pass it
around the cells are going to steal it. But there's they're
not buying it now it's or what are they stealing?
It's the passing it around. And the audio versions that these
guys are so fearful of. So they are going to make official,
nonprofit organizations who will be sanctioned, who will be able
to make this material available. There has to be all kinds of
DRM. They're so afraid that they can't sell more than one copy
because you know, these blind people turns out they like
hanging out in groups. You know, these fuckers Can you believe
them? They hang out in groups, and they trade stuff amongst
themselves. They so how are we going to sell individual copies
to all of them? We can't make enough money on them. That is
what that is. Exactly. I have the documents here. It would it
blew my fucking mind. John
apparently says you're like a truck driver.
It's the Tourette's. It's the Tourette's. It's really the
Tourette's. It just blew me away. And I've highlighted this
document, you can look at it in the in the show notes under the
war on the blind. when appropriate.
And right. Yeah.
And I was actually I have to be honest, I was looking at it
like, Wait, is there an opportunity for us? Can we do
like audio book versions of stuff and get a special deal?
And can we do something and then I'm like, What am I talking
about? We do this service, specifically for the visually
impaired, blind gooey eyed people. Hello, we love y'all. We
this is a fantastic service for them.
But you're talking about the no agenda podcast? Yes. Yes.
It's the best the best service. I mean, can you imagine where
you finally get you want to get to get like some some history
book? in Braille? Great. Yeah, that'll be factual. That'll be
true. We're gonna get the New York Times and Braille. Oh, I
bet yeah. How sad is it that our fellow human haimo Homo sapiens,
who cannot get true information in a topical accessible manner.
So I welcome you and if you know anyone who was blind, or print
challenged or whatever all the politically correct words are
let's turn them on to the no agenda podcast. This is a huge
market we can go after. I think we've already got a good piece
of it. I'm sure we have some of it but this needs to be shared
because you're being screwed people. There are a bunch of
elitist pricks in Marrakech and nice little nice little
conference. I got an idea let's do a conference in Marrakech and
that'll keep
them hoi polloi away, right. Well, that it's not that you
mentioned that this great service we're doing I think it's
about time we played the clip, spinning mummy, mummy.
What you're seeing has yet to be explained. This ancient Egyptian
statue appears to be spinning on its own, as seen in time lapse
footage from the Manchester Museum.
The nearly 4000 year old statue has been part of the museum's
collection for 80 years and has never moved. Until recently.
Ancient Egyptians believed this type of statuette could act as a
vessel for spirits. But the exhibits curator thinks even the
ancient Egyptians would have been surprised by the strange
occurrence. Some logical explanations could be vibrations
from cars outside or foot traffic in the museum. But that
doesn't explain why it moves in a perfect circle. Whatever the
answer, the phenomenon is sure to draw more visitors to the
exhibit.
really shameless frappe I think it was on the BBC or someone. It
was a TV network.
I had I had the same report from a different Douds crazy. I had
the same one. I'm like, you've got to hear this because it's an
Did you see that? You saw the video? I take it right. Oh,
yeah, the little thing, spin it around the video I had I thought
it was like six feet tall. And then and then they show that
it's just like, it's like,
yeah, it's a little bitty thing.
It's like eight eight inches tall.
Right. And of course, this is all bull crap. It is only done
to get this before museum some more customers because everyone
wants to see this spinning mummy. Yeah. And so it's like
it's such it's Shameless, Shameless. Yeah.
And that passes for actual news and entertainment people. That's
what
out question. Nobody said well, why don't you put put a guard on
it? Why don't you have somebody standing there? Why don't you
put a camera on it running not time lapse. We'll just have it
running. Because, you know, obviously somebody's coming in
there. Removing it, take another picture. They move at some more.
It's so phony, and they play it straight and may have spirits in
it. What kind of what kind of presentation is this to the
public? Does shameless plug for the museum? Bogota of story is
disgusting.
And both of us saw it. How horrible is that? What
was being played all over the place? So there was a there is a
public relations agency that was behind this idea.
Yeah, so I don't think I can oops, sorry. I did it. I don't
know if I if I can. I don't think we have enough time for
today to get into the bigger abortion bill debate here in
Texas.
Now we'll do it on the Sunday show. And Allison want to go
look, I also want you and everyone else to go look at
something kind of interesting that was kind of revealed
recently that well, most of the work that's done for these for
the NSA, the CIA, all the people that do the profiling, all the
bad actors are kept track of it's not being kept track of by
any of these agencies is being kept. If you're a bad person.
You're in the in the dossiers of the State Department. A special
operation has been around for years and nobody ever talks
about called the Bureau of Intelligence and Research. And
as is the i n, our intelligence research managed by the
Assistant Secretary Philip Goldberg. This is a major
operation that is never discussed. Well,
Bernstein and Woodward. Were done. What was the point of
that?
I just want people to get clued in because I'm gonna look into
this.
Okay. This is a tease. It's a tease for Sunday.
So tease for Sunday. All right.
Well, anyway, sorry about Nelson Mandela. Because he'll be dead
by Sunday. Yeah,
do we need a Deadpool on this?
He's already dead. They just needed Obama to get there. He's
dead. Dead.
Obama's gonna be by his side as he died. Yeah. How about that
for an idea
that will that will the Yes. Hello. That's how we started the
whole show. Ended. Okay, we don't even have time for an end
of show clip I want to play. Oh, I will do all this on Sunday.
You know what, you got to come back on Sunday, you really do.
Because we only get the music going there. Because we really
got all kinds of groovy stuff for you. John's going to be
working on on the INR, which I had not heard of. We'll have
more stories about chewing leaves with hookers in the Andes
or whatever it was. And I would love to give you my analysis of
Senate Bill five of the Texas legislature for which it
seemingly 1000s of people were able to organize around stopping
that. And all these other atrocities just go on. And no,
it's all good for your security. So I think we need to look at
our priorities. I'd love to discuss that because no other
news outfit can have a frank conversation. We can why because
you support us. And that's the only way we stay on the air
divorce.org/na for your donations coming to you from the
capital of the drone Star State in the morning, everybody. My
name is Adam curry.
And coming to you from Northern Silicon Valley here in the state
of California on John C. Dvorak. We'll
