What I thought was a snide style. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak.
Sunday, July 21 2013 times you're getting donation media
assassination, episode five, three.
This is no agenda. Three stories above
the massage parlor with the purple lights in Amsterdam
getting donation lowlands in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm three storeys above
the driveway. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Hey, now, it works kind of,
I think, seems to
Oh, man, it's, it's challenging. Here. We are in the lowlands
local time here. 6pm I am jet lagged beyond belief. Why? Well,
we arrived yesterday morning.
I was asleep going
east, you know, so. Yeah. We slept for, I don't know, four
hours on the plane. Maybe? More than enough. No, it really
wasn't enough. It was also you booked kale. And that was I'm
sorry,
but that was Friday. You This is Sunday? No,
it was we left Friday. And we arrived Saturday morning. Right?
Right. So you know in a to recover. And we also in your
book KLM. Or at least you think you're booking KLM but then you
actually it turns out you're flying Delta o Delta. Who really
don't give a crap about you. That's sad. I gotta say, and so
there's so much wrong. This they're supposed to have these
Friendly Skies. I guess they they're all part of the same
company.
That was united the friendly skies. United man. That's
what it was.
So you're just a nasty sky?
Well, here's what's funny. So you're allowed it when you fly
from Austin to Amsterdam through Atlanta, with delta, which is
codeshares with KLM. Whatever. You're allowed to take two bags
per person. When you fly back. From Amsterdam to Austin, you're
only allowed to take one bag per person. What? Yeah, I will no
one can tell me. No one has an explanation why? And not that it
matters because we we both have one bag. But you know, I made
this big stink with Mickey. You know, it's got to be exactly 50
pounds. And you know, yeah,
they weighed your way in tonight. Just 44 pounds today
waited at Austin airport is where they waited really? Yeah.
And then it's like, well, you know, we can go over by two
pounds. And you know, Mike my suitcase, which was funny
because I thought I waited exactly 50 pounds, my suitcase
for like 56 and said well,
that they're a bit or scales or until it was a scandal.
So we actually had to take four pounds out of my suitcase and
put it into her suitcase. I swear to God, while we're
standing there at the counter. It's insane.
One time I was doing this, I was on LWF tonsa. And I put the bag
down. They weigh it. It's like I think it was like a 44 pound
limit or something like that. Yeah. And he goes, Oh, you're
over two pounds is 46 pounds. And I said, Well hold on a
second. I opened the bag. I took the laptop out, which was a two
pound laptop and he held the laptop in my under my arm and
put the bag back on. Yeah, he said, Okay, you're good to go. I
pulled them back off. Put the laptop back in the bag. Yeah,
perfect. It's so stupid. So stupid.
Anyway, good news. What? Before you before you since we're on
this topic, I just want to get this clip out of the way. Which
is apparently some dears NBC or ABC. One of the, I think was
ABC. They had this guy on who apparently had been stealing for
five or six or seven or eight years. He was a TSA guy. And I
guess when you check your luggage, they go through the
luggage and they pull out the cameras. And this is a jersey of
course,
of course at Freedom International Airport.
Freedom in the freedom of any ownership of your own property.
All right, ready? Yeah. And this is just the guy going on. And
I'm just saying you're lucky you got there with it with your
equipment.
The culture became a little stealing was okay. The TSA. They
didn't think it was okay. But they did it and sound care.
They pay me they treat me wrong, they doing this and they're
doing that. I just don't care. Just didn't care. But then when
people started seeing they could profit off of it. Then it become
it became massive.
Yeah. You weren't the only one. All right. So a couple of things
about the TSA first of all, blogger Bob, you know, the TSA
blogger Yeah, so he posts today remember the story about the
Ford wasn't what some airport where there, you know, they have
the valet guys searching cars. Right. Yeah. And so blogger Bob
comes out and says this is not standard procedure. This is only
local. This is the TSA is not searching your car. I mean, yes,
the TSA was literally telling Pete telling the valet to search
cars, and he's blogger Bob is like, Oh no, this is only a
local thing. It's like, you know, that's up to the airport.
And there's so there's so full of crap and to prove it nice
Mickey and I both did the arms not over the head deal both of
us and got through. Yeah, I gotta tell you that when you see
when you listen to no agenda, your your travel life becomes so
so nice. And so lovely. So I so after the 10 seconds, save Well,
no, it's not 10 seconds, because I know opting out is 20 is a 20
Minute ordeal.
And depends on the airport. You well. Okay,
so we both went through separate lines. And I had never done
this. I'd never done the Hey, man. Like, I really played it up
too. I'm like, Hey, man, I'm sorry. I can't I can't lift my
arms, but my head and the guy looks at me and goes really?
Like yeah, it says, Okay, go through there. And he motion to
the magnetometer which was off. And like through that is
seriously and I said through there and he says yeah, through
there. And I repeated, and I walked through, pick up my bag,
you know? And like, I don't put the sling and over my shoulder,
obviously. And that was it. Good to go. And the magnetometer was
off, John, it was off.
Really? Yeah. It's very careless.
Yeah. So I had no idea about it. Mickey's was on or not, but she
went through a different line because obviously, we figured it
might not be such a good idea to bow to tall blondes.
We're both involved in a very strange Texas ritual. Yeah. And
neither one of us can actually move our arms or our neck
Exactly. It's a huge issue. Now but it worked it worked
perfectly. And and then arriving Of course, it's PayPal airport
and Amsterdam. You flip on the flip on the old Wi Fi device
there pick up our new agenda free Wi Fi our hidden Wi Fi
networks. Perfect. It's just beautiful. It's it makes you
feel so powerful.
Does Yeah, it does. You bullshit your way through the line and
turn on some free Wi Fi. I'm the king of the world. Well, yeah, I
should have gone into private jet would have been a little
more along those lines. Yeah,
yeah. Well, that's not. That's not That's not for us. And here
we are. We've We've got
did you fly coach? Are you kidding me? You must have
upgraded somehow you must have some upgrades?
No, no, there were. I think we're plastic level on the
Kaylynn point points. No, I always I always pay the extra
like 50 bucks or whatever to get comfort class which really is
meaningless, quite honestly.
But so the airplane on air American they do have they have
a lot of legroom in those planes. At least last time they
were doing it. It's it's definitely it's definitely a
couple inches. You make you're too tall for regular seats. So
we wound up getting the seat which was riding all the way
right behind business class really because they don't have
first class anymore on on KLM or delta. And so we're right next
to the door right next to the galley. And so we had nothing in
front of us, which was Yeah, and although sometimes you gotta be
careful because you get the flight attendants who are
yapping the whole flight. And they just sit there in the
galley going.
We don't need flight attendants.
We didn't have that. Luckily. Luckily, so everything's okay.
Everything's good. You had
legroom, then you're in good shape.
Yeah, it was okay. All right. Yeah, it's yeah, it's not quite
just not quite flying with the private jet. But and then of
course, we're in an Airbnb. Apartment, which is yeah, you've
got a good connection though.
Okay, knock on wood. Connections, okay. Connections.
The guy gave me two. He said, Well, if this one craps out, and
here's my sister who lives downstairs, you can use her
connection. Oh, it's one of those. And we literally be
alive. We literally are three floors up above the massage
parlor. It's kind of ghetto. And everything would be okay. Except
the problem is we have like it's 2009. So it's a it was it is at
80 degrees. I think it's really beautiful. But these houses
obviously don't have air conditioning. So I'm sitting
here just sweating away. I've got the the ultimate podcast
device is running hot. It's like, everything's hot. I'll
tell you. I turned it on and immediately didn't work. And you
know, because I've been using this the jump wire and you know,
all the elements are loose. And this is we're lucky to be on the
air at all essentially.
Well, that's good to know. Yeah.
But it's been fun. It's been really interesting being here in
In Amsterdam, even for the for the day and a half that we've
been walking around to learn a couple of things. First of all,
it's becoming more and more like, like the United Kingdom
here, where everyone's just so depressed about not having a job
and no one can sell their house and you know, it's everything's
just kind of in some kind of like in irons. I think we've
talked about this before. Just it's like a big waiting room.
Everyone's just like, I don't know, I don't know what's going
on. So everyone's drunk. And it's really good because he had
summer and everyone's just drunk, like, Hey, I'm just going
to drink
well, while you're while you're where you're all depressor miles
will play one more of my clips. Okay, I think this will cheer on
my plate boosting housing. Okay. Housing prices.
All right, Elizabeth 33%. That's what median price of a home has
gone up in the nine Bay Area County, June to June just in the
last year. But you said it Alameda County a whopping 44%
Jump over one year for some people they were in the water
now there are underwater now. They're way above in fact
refinancing and happy about here's a good example, this
house $280,000 A year ago, is in escrow right now at 400,000.
Wants multiple offers, and there's really no end in sight.
Wait To me, this must be the land of Twitter, and we're all
the rich eight holes hang out.
Exactly. Wow. And then house they showed by the way where it
was worth? It looks like a crap hole. $100,000. Like, you know,
during the peak $100,000 Dump.
This isn't gonna last you know, I mean, did you see Google's
numbers? It goes up, it goes down. It's not it's not it's
going to end. I'm seeing Google. So Google had this horrible.
They reported horrible numbers. And their stock was down 5%,
which I guess if you hold Google stock that's like $1,000 off the
price of a share or whatever. But I think that we're seeing
the end. You know, everyone knows that online advertising on
the Internet is a scam. If you look at Google's numbers, the
cost of for them to acquire all these, what they call a cost of
audience acquisition cost, which to me means paying a bunch of
Google doing that, really, it's like a bunch of guys in India,
you pay to sit in a room and click stuff. It's fraud. I'm
telling you, that is a fraud. It's a fraud. It's coming down.
John, I would go short. On Google, I think that they're
they're going to be in big trouble. Yeah. And meanwhile,
you know, and of course, the
thing about the acquisition with a bunch of Indians clicking on
stuff. What is the it's a search engine? Why did they have to
even do that? People are going to be searching, they have to
search they have to use Google? I don't I don't get it. I think
they maybe they targeted to hire something or they really expect
to just keep growing or I don't know what the deal is with that
with them. I do know that searches aren't as good as they
used to be. No, the searches I mean, searches noticeably
crappy. I've had some I searched for something. And every single
one of the hits was an advertisement for some bogus
review site, or, I mean, it was unbelievable. I could not find
what I was looking for using Google. I found it on Bing. You
know, I've had I don't like Bing and people who, like Eric, the
shell. He's been looking at, you know, studying these bots. Yeah.
And he says things sucks, right?
Well, I have this, you know, I have the what we call the
freedom controller, which is kind of my, you know, the Dave
Jones, one of our producers, we put this together over the past,
like, year and a half. And it aggregates feeds and has a you
know, as your own RSS feed, etc. But what we've been doing is I
subscribe to, I don't know, 700 feeds probably. And if anyone
ever add something to the no agenda news network, if you add
an RSS feed, that automatically is added to my feeds, and I can
unsubscribe, but usually it's interesting. But ever since we
put this thing in place for a year and a half now, the
aggregation of every single one of those feeds has been stored
in a database. And these feeds are the good quality feeds. And
you know, it also includes the BBC and some other mainstream
stuff, but also all of the kind of fringe. So if I want to look
for something, I
like a one man NSA until
I use that search box that we have on this thing. And I'm
finding stuff because of course, you never can read all these
feeds, but it's all aggregated. It's all stored. And it's
unbelievable how much better my own little system does than
Google.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that that would be disappointing. Well, if
Google does all Google does, I mean, this is this is their job.
Yeah, it's but they're not doing they're not doing the right job.
They're not doing the job for me. Of course, they do return
results fast. I have to admit, you know, when you when you that
was always what Google was known for, by the way They were fast.
Remember that? Remember the that was like the main thing. And in
the early days of Google, you'd hit it and
be Yeah, because they were all right on the main one of the
main types.
And not only that, but they had no no colors, no ads, no Google
Plus crap loading everywhere, no JavaScript and all this stuff.
Right? They've run so far off their mission. But all I'm
saying is, this too, can come falling down. Google, the big,
beautiful giant who is hoodwinked their investors into
thinking they're doing something great for the future with
driverless cars and Google Glass. It's a scam.
You can quote me on that. says, Well, you can just just
generalize whatever you just you say that constantly. Most of
this that's all I hear.
That's all I do. Hey, so here's something new that I learned in
in Gitmo lowlands. Here's the concept. I'd never heard of
this. It's something called the pop up store. Have you ever
heard of this concept that pop
up store? Yeah, Microsoft does the store? Oh, no, no, no, no,
this is what I thought when. So once again, it's a pop up store.
Like what does that mean? Like a store that just comes out of the
blue and or it's in a mall or something? No, no pop up stores
is the true hallmark of an economy and a country in crisis.
Check it out. So you have all of these, all this real estate
that's empty. So you walk past these storefronts. And the
entire building is for sale or for rent, and it has big signs
for rent. And then it has a little sign, it'll say pop up
store. And you go in, and it's pretty much empty, except that
has, you know, it'll have like temporary racks. Most of these
are clothing stores, by the way, it'll have real top name brands,
stuff that is marked down 50 to 90%. It has, you have your
little portable, changing booths. And so the way it works
is they've got somewhere a store went out of business went
bankrupt. So they had so these companies buy up this inventory,
then you have the stores that can't rent out the retail space.
So they'll rent out for as long as they're empty to someone who
has no job, who is now going to work and is going to be working
desperately who gets no, no payroll, they get a percentage
of whatever they can sell of this, basically this bankruptcy
inventory. And of course, people who have no money can go and buy
some brand name stuff for like, you know, 1010 cents on the
euro. And this is everywhere, the entire city is filled with
pop up stores. And it's a it's almost like, you know, like
people squatting in buildings with with stolen merchandise.
Wow. It's really it's a phenomenon and they call them
pop up stores. Now, they don't even translate it to Dutch. They
just say it in English, or it's a pop up store. So what the hell
is this pop up store? And making it just like we can't believe is
like, you know, there's all kinds of brand name stuff for
literally 90% off. And I try to talk to the lady who said, you
know, are you just are you going out of business? Just no, no,
I'm here in business. But the minute they get a tenant, I have
to move out the same day. I have to pick up my stuff, put it in
boxes and move out. But it's not even her stuff. It's a
bankruptcy company buys up all this stuff's
essentially in a squatter. Yes. wink, nudge nudge and squatter
by agreement, the agreement is that if somebody actually bought
gets the place, which may never happen, right,
then then you have to move out immediately.
Yeah, you're out you're done. And then I'm gonna have the tax,
the tax revenue errs are dealing with this.
Well, obviously, you know, there's no cash here, right?
We've talked about that. So everything is on your on your
pin card. Oh, by the way, someone actually said to me in
the store because of making our speaking English and I have a
Dutch bank card. With you know, there's still a couple 100 euros
on the account so I can pay for stuff here. We you know,
whenever we're here because of course you can't transfer it any
more from America you have to physically go to the bank and
put it in. But I couldn't we discussed that we can't use
credit cards everywhere our American credit cards, and I was
going through my cards to find the Dutch bank card and the girl
behind the counter literally said credit card is not allowed
here. I'm like wow
well, you have it's a cash only business. No,
I know but no, no, it's not cash. There's no cash. You can
only pay with the pin card. But even just pulling my
my hand card does crazy to explain what those are two
people. Yeah,
well, we're gonna get those in America eventually in 2015 or
whatever it has, you know, it has the authentication on the
card itself. So there's no authentication going to some
backend system, which of course puts the responsibility of fraud
onto the merchant and ultimately on to the customer. So if you
lose your card, tough, tough luck, you know, then, then
you're responsible, and you have to cancel it. If you don't, the
bank isn't going to be responsible for anything. So
that's the only thing you can use, certainly in the
Netherlands and in most of most of Europe these days, and
America is just really, really behind. But to have someone just
look at me and go, credit card is not allowed here.
Excuse me, Russian.
Believe me, this is how Dutch people can sound when they speak
English.
Ah, that must have been fun. What were you going to buy?
A What do you call it to? My brain scrambled?
So essentially, your your your credit card is worthless? Yes.
They cash?
Not everywhere. We've talked about this last time.
We talked about it last year, but no, no, in most places, they
find it stunning that they won't take cash now in society let
itself put it put itself in a position where it won't do
business with cash.
Because they've been programmed here to believe that it's easy.
It's handy.
And so now they want to only you can use these stupid pin cards,
which means it's essentially cash. Yeah. And it's not cash.
So we bet it actually acts as if it's cash. So why don't they
just take the cash?
Yeah, well, you're asking you're asking. Now you're asking
questions. I just can't answer. Anyway, so it's so it's, it's
weird. It's new. And everyone's just it's, I don't know, it's I
don't get a good vibe here. And it's dirty. For the first time
I'm in Amsterdam, like this is dirty. There's trash everywhere.
There's clean town. crud on the streets? I don't know. I don't
know. Maybe it's the summer everyone's just taking their
time or whatever. I don't know. It doesn't it doesn't feel all
that great. For some reason. I'm not sure why. Anyway, we're.
We'll be off to to France tomorrow. And
they can high speed rail. No.
No, we're gonna fly. It's cheaper. It's cheaper to fly.
That makes no sense. riveted, it just gets criss crossed with
rail. Why wouldn't it be cheaper to take a train?
It is just cheaper. It's cheaper to cheaper to fly. I looked at
it. It's just cheaper.
Ah, that doesn't make any sense the way we've been what we've
been told. Yeah.
Anyway, so yeah, so Europe is in the middle of a heatwave. The UK
is expecting hundreds of people to die. Of course, it's all
global warming obviously. That's, in fact, what I got a
clip here from this is Harry Reid. Democrat douchebag who I
was just running through, you know, my more normal hola
sources to see what you know, you know, C span stuff. And I
don't know exactly what the occasion was. But Chuck Schumer
was behind him with that, you know, Cheshire Cat grin while
Harry Reid was saying this.
I am not going to beat around this, folks. The West has been
devastated by wildfires. millions of acres are burning.
millions of acres have burned. We had the largest fire that I
can remember in Southern Nevada. It's been burning for. I don't
know, I think 16 days, 16 days. It's about out now. But it took
a long time. We have a fire burning in the north to announce
today near Palm Springs, California. A fire Colorado.
They're burning all over us. Why? Because of the climate has
changed the winters.
You can just hear him going for it. You know, he's like, let me
just give you all these horrible fires. Why? Because the climate
has changed my friends. We're all going to burn
when I was a kid. They had these fires constantly. Ya know, I
still wait for the hills outside of Petaluma to go up in flames.
Are you driving up there today? Yeah. Don't throw your cigarette
out the window then.
Well, it's a good thing. I don't smoke then.
And happy captive nations week. John, this is brand new from our
president.
So that he's come up with a new some new ideas. Yeah, this
one was a little interesting. It came through came through this
morning and I have to apologize. I can't. I'm having a problem
seeing. I don't know we have put my glasses on. I have to sit too
far back. And without my glasses. I can't quite get close
enough. But let me read this to you as citizens of the oldest
democracy on Earth, which by the way, is that true?
The oldest democracy on Earth, as far as I know, is Iceland.
Well, it says right here proclamation by the president
united states of america as citizens of the oldest democracy
on Earth. We've sorry, Iceland, we believe that all people are
created equal with certain inalienable rights, including
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Together, we have
kept that most basic promise shining bright for more than two
centuries, upholding civil rights and expanding their
reach, advancing freedoms March and widening the circle of
opportunity for all that's the talking about what Well, that's
the prelude. The rest of the world attention, be very should
be very afraid. Our commitment to universal rights is also a
foundation for American leadership abroad. In the course
of our nation's history, countries worldwide have pledged
themselves to a Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Corrupt dictatorships have given way to new democracies, focusing
on the stale air of author authoritarian rule with a fresh
breath of freedom. Essentially, what he's saying here is that
here, this captive nations week, is an opportunity to reaffirm
America's role in advancing human rights worldwide. This
means we're up to no good.
And we're and we're giving it a whole week. And we're going to
force this down somebody's throat. It is a task that can
begin here with the example we set and the understanding that
we are stronger when all our people are granted opportunity,
no matter what they look like, you know,
this is this is the matter what they look like,
yes. Well, it goes on where they worship or who they love. So if
you're black, if you're white, if you're red, yellow, if you're
Muslim, if you're Christian, if you're Jewish, if you're gay, if
you're lesbian, by the way by curious, of course, doesn't
count. But this but the whole thing, it's creepy, you know,
this, it's creepy to say, you know, we're gonna push this on
everybody. Which to me can only mean that there's something
coming probably Syria, because then we know we have to deliver
our freedom to these people.
Well, that douchebag McCain was grilling. Or the little
Irishman. Oh,
Dempsey? Yeah. Doesn't he look a little bit like a leprechaun?
Oh, he's He doesn't look like what he is. But this is the kind
of thing this guy, he's like a nightmare this McCain because
he's got his little cadre of his you know, that Lindsey Graham
and Kelly Aodh. The three of them, you know, picking up
people. Yeah. So that played a little bit as to what's going on
because you can just see the Syria thing coming around the
coop coming around the bend in Washington today, the Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army, General Martin Dempsey,
said he's laid out options for President Obama on using US
military power in Syria, Republican Senator John McCain,
pressed Dempsey, to say what he would do, but the general
declined.
The decision on whether to use force is the decision of our
elected officials. You know, I just asked this Chairman just
asked you if you would give your personal opinion to the
committee if asked. He said, Yes. I'm asking for your opinion
about the use of kinetic strikes. That issue is under
deliberation inside of the the our agencies of government and
it would be inappropriate for me to try to influence the decision
with with me rendering an opinion in public about what
kind of force we should use.
Afterward, McCain said Dempsey must share his recommendations
with the committee and he'll block Dempsey's nomination for a
second term as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs until he gets an
answer.
I saw this and and it was the whole thing was was just
bizarre. It's like what was this McCain just wants to hear
someone besides him say, Yeah, let's go and let's go in there
and go bomb it. I mean, it's just this guy. Does he get off
on this stuff? Or what is wrong with him?
He's he seems to be working for somebody else.
Yeah, the guys who make bombs and fighter jets I can't see any
other reason why he would be like this. He's it's disturbing.
It really is.
Yeah, he's hangs out in the Middle East. He's always meeting
with people over there. And then he's he's the biggest war monger
that we've had. We have period and all of Congress. He just
wants to bomb the heck out of everybody wants to attack he
wants us to bomb Iran. Iran. Yeah. And and then there's this
and now he's badgering. Dempsey, who you know, put up with it. I
guess. It was weird because I was watching this and I swear it
looked like Dempsey's shoulder pads with stars that there was
only three of them.
Well, you can't see them cuz you know the Two of them are behind.
Because they
Well, I saw three of them, but I saw the back yellow and the
front. Yeah, I saw the the square that outlines it stars,
and they I could still only count three. I don't know, I
just just beside the point, but
I'm sure it's got a while. I'm sure they're all there. Yeah,
I'm quite sure that we lost Helen Thomas. Yeah. And I
thought it was kind of funny. So Helen Thomas, for those of you
who don't remember, she was always in the front of actually
before, you know, when we started doing the show, which
was around 2008. Was it 2008 2007? Yeah, 2007 2008 she
was still always in the front row at the White House
briefings. Now, of course, the Internet was really just still
kind of coming up to speed. And, you know, we didn't have all the
great balance. Remember, I was in the UK, I didn't even have a
full wired connection for for a year or whatever. I was on some
kind of, you know, 3g something or other. So we couldn't get all
the all the material we wanted at the time. But she's been for
10 presidents. She's kind of been the annoying, very no
agenda, like I have to say very annoying in the front row.
Always, you know, just asking whatever was came to the top of
mind kind of the questions you want to ask. And she and when
the Obama administration came in, she I remember, I tried to
find some stuff. I just I couldn't find it easily because
of the situation
talked about this. She was very disappointed in the old very
disappointed, but
he was also dismissive of her. You remember, he would be like,
okay, Helen,
he's an old white woman. Hell with it. It was a
lot. I tried to find it. And it's no longer on C span that I
could find. I remember there was one or two times when he was
like, shut up, basically. You remember that? Yeah. And then
and then of course, she essentially got railroaded out
of Washington, because of, you know, so she got hijacked
outside by some guy. And I that I do have and he asked her a
question about Palestine, and about Israel and Palestine, and
in 27 seconds, which I'm about to play for you changed her life
forever, got her kicked out of Washington, essentially off the
entire press corps and out of the picture, kind of right
around the time when the Obama administration was really
annoyed with her questions. And she would ask questions like,
How come you haven't closed Gitmo yet?
We're asking everybody today any kind of Palestine? Oh
these people are occupied. And it's their land. That German
example. So where should they go to which they do a go home?
Where's the home? Poland? So to Poland and Germany, and America
and everywhere else?
Yeah, so apparently that was like the worst thing ever. You
it was the worst thing she could ever say. And you know, it's
just horrible. Because you say go back to Poland. And I guess
that's because
of Poland. Like, yeah. Me I've never even seen Poland.
And I guess some related to this. Someone sent me a link to
a book which he said I should one of our producers said you've
got to read this book. It's by it's brand new. And I just got
it on. On the I was luckily it's on. It came out on Kindle so I
can read it well, but we're taking our week off. It's called
this town. And it's really a
no, that's the book that we talked about this weeks ago. I
don't the book that was snuck out here. This anecdotal remind
you the book was not supposed to be out in somebody slip? Oh,
right at the airport, right. It
landed at the airport. Exactly. So the author is Mark Leibovich,
and he is it. Was he a New York Times guy, I think? I believe
so. So he's on Charlie Rose. And, and so one of our producers
said, You've got to read this book. Take a look at this
interview of him on Charlie Rose. And so I clicked this,
this one minute thing of him talking about the book, which
definitely makes me very excited about reading this. It kind of
gets into exactly why he wrote the book, or as Charlie says,
what's the what's the origin of this? So why
why did you write this? Let's just talk a minute. It's really
as interesting from 1000 ways. Eating lunch in this town, I
think had to do with a famous quote in California and all your
thoughts. It's never you never eat lunch in this town again.
What would you What's the origin of this?
Maybe the origin of this is I think, first of all, just living
in this town and working in this town for a while and I do think
his town being like this town being Washington DC and and I
mean, after a while, I mean, people say you're cynical you
Reporter But if you're a reporter in Washington, it's
sort of hard not to be cynical. But it's also hard not to be co
opted in a way. And I think, if you were to sort of look at this
almost psychoanalytically I mean, maybe there's part of me
that wanted to check myself before getting too deep into
this world. But I do have been partly co opted yourself. I
think you can't help but I think it would be dishonest to have
not to do have not said that I live in a cave or live in a
cave. Exactly. But I do think that the inspiration for this
was actually was at Tim Russert funeral in June of 2008, which
was the opening scene of the book and just watching it
degenerate instantly into this networking opportunity and
cocktail party scene for the funeral to be seen as much as
debate. Well, I think they were paying
respect, I think, Okay, now this is actually how the book starts
and opens up listen to this, because this will blow you away
early. There
was there was a lot of sadness in the room. But I do think that
there was a CNBC and quality to it. And clearly, people were
working it I mean, you see business cards flying and people
congratulating at a funeral. Yeah, it was a it was a, I
thought an epic scene.
Now you talk about so many people you say about former
President Clinton and the former secretary of state that they do
funerals? Well,
I do. I mean, the Clintons are experts at mourning and funeral
and I feel your pain. And that's one of his signature lines. Now,
again, that sounds cynical. I think there comes in some ways
from a place of genuineness, but But clearly, if you talk to
anyone who knows them, they are pros at sickness at Ms. Other
people's misfortune and there they do empathy, empathy. Well,
I think that's just it makes so much since the pros at sickness
and other people's misery.
Yeah, well, I remember that old clip that I used to put on a
play a lot, which was Clinton saying, I think the Secretary of
State should be in a place where there's plenty of human misery.
I don't remember that. No, I
don't remember. Yeah. Well, it's a clip which we use because it
was it was just funny because it was this was Hillary was
floating around. He says, I I think the Secretary of State
should be where there's a lot of human misery. And I took it as
just kind of get her out of the house and her suffer. But
rethinking it is probably exactly what he thinks he
thinks, you know, because these guys are they're they're, they
feed off of this.
And can you imagine that second Star Trek story, right. So
essentially, what he's saying is that, you know, Tim Russert who
of course, I think, was killed. He's the guy that was did before
chip Gregory came on the scene. He basically took his job right,
wasn't it chip chip? Who took Tim Russert? Yeah. And you know,
the guy was a fun guy to watch. And he ended, you know, it was
all Roly Poly. And then he goes, and then so he had his funeral.
He got the Clintons and then like, they're like doing
business there. These people are horrible.
The book should be very good. Everyone loves this book. All
right. They won't mean anything. By the way, no, no, but don't
change anything. Now, of course, Washington DC is ruining the
world. Well, if
you if you watch the entire interview, and there was no need
really, for Charlie rose to have him on for the whole show. But,
you know, the guy is essentially saying that everything's
everyone's corrupted, everyone's co opted, including him, he kind
of admits that. And he says, you know, the whole place is, you
know, the whole idea is you get in, you want to get into the
into some kind of position for five minutes, at least. So you
can get out and then you're set for the rest of your life for
the rest of your life. You can go charge some corporation, you
know, for your connections, or whatever it is. And that's the
whole that's the whole business.
Ya know, and I think there's something to that played into
Paula Tonto clip,
hold on a second. I'm not quite as fast as I am at home. So here
we go.
Now Napoletana will finish her duties with Homeland Security.
In the next month and a half starting with UC In September,
she is going to make a base salary of $570,000 a year.
University is a good college.
I'm glad you bring this up. Because there's a lot of talk
about who is going to be replacing our dear Lucy, Janet
Napolitano. This is Cornell West with a name that is being
floated the most.
Now I thought that they were wonderful were as a tribute to
sister Sabrina and brother Tracy, who I thought were
wonderful. I mean, I lean on the same Jesus that they do, but
it's going to be actions, that's going to be the crucial thing,
that when you're talking about racial profiling, and you
acknowledge a racist criminal justice system that has nearly
destroyed two generations of precious young black brothers,
especially poor black brothers, we finally get a word now it's
been five years first black president finally says a word
about the new Jim Crow. I welcome that sign of progress.
Let's see what kind of action on the ground when you're talking
about Raymond Kelly. And maybe the new head of Homeland
Security. He is the poster child of racial profiling. Many of us
went to jail because of stop and frisk actions can undermine
words here we're gonna have to see.
So this is the name that everyone's talking about.
Apparently, the President even said I'm not sure if Ray Kelly
who was the police commissioner of New York, who is the guy who
was implemented this What did they call it the stop and search
or stop and basically strip? I think it's your black stop. It's
like your black come over here is that black right? I'm sorry,
your black Latino come over here we got to search you. But I have
received from one of our intelligence sources a different
name, which I've not heard anywhere else. Chris Inglis. I
think his full name is John Chris Inglis. He is the number
two guy at the NSA and where it is. And he was, in fact, he came
in and bumped out the guy who was named Black, I think it was
who was the number two guy at the NSA. And he was over there
in the UK running kind of the Mi six, NSA or GCHQ, or whatever
they call it. Yeah, thing that crazy. He was there he was there
go around building just like the Applehead. Exactly. So this
endless, apparently is really well connected. And this is the
guy and I think we should put it in the book because you have not
heard this anywhere else this name. And he's supposedly the
guy that's going to become the new Secretary of Homeland
Security, which of course makes the NSA that much more powerful.
Because he is that he is the number two guy it's a Kaiser
Alexander and then him.
I'm looking at his wiki page. He's always got it presidential
rank Award for Distinguished Service. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No,
this is this guy. What does that mean? No, he got another one. He
got one a 2004 got another presidential rank award for
meritorious service in 2000. So he's deputy director just
basically giving you you know, that's give each other an award.
Okay.
But this this guy is, he's he's, he's in the pocket. Deputy
Director of the NSA. I'm just looking at his wiki page.
There's nothing in there.
No, it's just a bunch of dates when he did this. Bullet points
from the agency.
You don't think that they're gonna allow anything to be
executed? Go ahead, try and put something in there. Let's see
how long it
lasts. Oh, yeah. That'd be out in two seconds. And say
like, we got an alert. We have to we have to remove something
quickly.
He's a brigadier general. So this is running in the Air
National Guard. And then he moved into the Air Force. I was
assuming it was an Air Force Intelligence in any war I went
up to
so the question is, is this guy
big guy so he looks like an alien? He could be a gray. You
see is this is high
forehead. He's kind of like a big eyeballs. Huge. But this is
a this is a presidential nominee that the President has to
nominate nominate someone for this correct?
Yeah, nobody would say no to this guy because he got everyone
blackmailed. Right. So there was no one's gonna vote this this
will be a you this guy, even though I don't know if he's
gonna get it. But let's assuming if he does get nominated, I'll
bet you it goes through and unanimously. It said except Rand
Paul.
And he'll say, Do you think they were smuggling weapons to from
bank? No, no, no,
no, he's gonna ask. I know he's gonna ask him. Do you think that
what happened to Egypt was a coup?
Coup? Oh, that's right. Would you call it a coup? Could you
call that a coup? Rambo is
everyone's just put a robot in there to ask the same thing over
and over again. Was Egypt a coup? Why does he care anymore?
He still asks, by the
way, I received from producer Gary a talk about how awesome
this show is. And we don't toot our own horn that often but I'm
much we should. I'm going to toot your horn. I will take you
back to Episode 175 Now today is episode 532. So we're going back
to Episode 175. I think that I must have been was I still

cameras on him and I have black tape over the camera holes
really. In any situate environment like that I will
black tape the camera holes. I do not trust these cameras,
unlike many of these computers. So who
do you think is going to be looking at you me? Know?
I don't know the NSA perhaps I have no idea. There you go.

desk that reads work shop live. Wow. may as well say obey,
consume marry and reproduce or because as I did you got
yourself humming to get mo nation national anthem in any
case, I think the whole prison program is a good thing. For

betting on at least a Golden Globe for the NSA for best
adaption of my email patient of my email I'll be expecting a

You guys have been outstanding lately. Here's some value for
value. Please give a round of karma for the 100 million
Americans with or without food stamps. Greetings from Croatia.
Let me hand that out.
I do need to say something. You've got karma. Because it's
funny. I got a lot of people saying please show me this 101
million number. And I was I was right, but not entirely correct.
So I do apologize. The the number of people and this is
according to the document, which is in the show notes which I
also miss filed. So I'll put it in the show notes for today's
show again, so you can see it's the government PDF, and it's
under clips and stuff. 47 million Americans are on the
SNAP program. That's these the supplemental food stamps,
essentially, the other little over 50 million are on any
number of other governmental food programs. So it's 101
million in total. It is only 47 million on SNAP. But when you
look at all the programs, and it's in this one document, it's
101 million Americans on some kind of government food program.
Okay. I didn't like the number either. Yeah,
but but that 47 is bad by myself, but 101 47 still Pretty
good. It's the total it's all programs. Okay. All right. Well,
I just need to clarify because a lot of people like
that you dug yourself out of the hole.
You suck man. It's not true. I'm unsubscribing
Well, we got those guys. They're just waiting they sit laying in
wait. Day 552 is five five 1.2 is 1.2 They're dumb my

Hola Armando. And Jose. I recently got my security deposit
on my old apartment in the mail you guys offer me so much brain
security that it only makes perfect sense to donate to the
best podcast in the universe. I've been a longtime donor and
always felt bad for not donating. Please do wish me and

All right. You've been de Deus. You've got karma. Boots are
generous donations from shoe for show five three to go to
bright.org/and a channel of arc.com/and a no gender show.com
And no agenda nation.com click on the Donate buttons there. But
we want to remind you we got we don't really talk about it. Now
talk about later. We have to talk about it now. It's good.
And again, I want to remind people that we you know we'd
like to keep the income stream. So don't just go they're going
to do a clip show. So screw
Hold on a sec. We're not just doing a clip show. We've
actually we're we're producing we've got Ramsey. Ramsey Kane, I
know agenda cd.com
mistake of calling Randy Kane news.
You know, that was not so good.
Well, you already finished.
Let me give people a little look into the no agenda behind the
scenes. So John, and I never talk. But once or twice a week
when John's going to send out the newsletter. He'll send me
the draft and he said, you know, take a look at it. Because you
know, it's like, usually, there's no change. But I find
little typos or little things or something or I might have a
comment. So I'm jetlag so at four in the morning, my eyes
open up, I'm like I'm awake and the site I grabbed you know, I
started looking at email. And there's John who had 1:30am My
time sends a note saying stay awake. I'm gonna send you the
newsletter. Don't go to sleep. You have to check it and like
find your douche. And then of course, the one time I don't
look at it a mistake like that slips in. It's like Kennedy.
He's a good guy doesn't Yeah, he's, he's alright. But anyway,
so Ramsey Kane is going to do he's already done it actually,
he's finished. He's not going to be able to do any more editing
on it today because he says his wife will divorce him
apparently, he puts in a lot of time for us. And so he's he's,
instead of one of us doing it. He's like a third party, show of
important clips.
Independent, independent clip dependent
guy. And so it's going to be very interesting show and it's
going to be I guess about an hour and a half or
up to two hours we're doing
on Thursday. That's a Thursday show.
That's a Thursday show. Good.
And then then on. Next Sunday, we've got another one that we're
producing, and I'll be producing these during the week. So
editing really is what I'm doing and then giving them to somebody
to post and this So be a couple of interviews I did one
interview with. What's his I guess his name is John Dixon.
And John Dixon is a former Air Force Intelligence guy runs a
software company in San Antonio called the Denham group, and
they do computer security stuff. And we talk about the NSA, and
it's actually very entertaining conversation. And then Adam
follows that, or actually, that'll follow Adams
conversation, which is the first one with which is actually
excerpted from one of his when he was doing all these
interviews, and this is a really good one. And a guy, what's his
name is Sam, Daniel Suarez, Suarez read the book writer.
Yeah. And that that's an entertaining thing. And then
that'll be another hour and a half show more or less,
probably, I think so long. So Daniel
Suarez, for those of you who don't know, is the guy who wrote
demon, and followed by Freedom TM. And of course, he wrote The
Kill Decision, which is the Book about drones, which came out
about a year ago, longer than a year, more than a year ago now.
And which he pretty much nailed everything that is taking place
right now. And he also was a former military contractor, and
I kind of noodle him a little bit about that.
And so this will be a good show on Sunday that we're going to
now this is the question I want to ask you now, I might as well
we, if somebody if anyone wants to be an executive producer for
either of these two shows, we will run the numbers as usual on
the same as usual night, right? And so if you're gonna be so you
will be credited for as an executive producer on the shows
respectively. And, right, so
we put those in the show notes. Is that what you're saying?
We're gonna Yeah, okay. So we're not actually on vacation. We're
actually
you go get your email anyway. you're
uploading, we're uploading we're doing we're doing RSS feeds. And
yeah, all that's missing. Is this three hours of chit chat.
That's
the only thing we're not doing. Okay.
Yeah, we'll do it. Right now. We're gonna do the show. Yeah,
exactly. So he's done. He's done the work. Hey, so we're not
we're on vacation. Vacation means you get you get you got
three hours cut loose. Like you don't get so many clips and the
rest so I mean, there's some some vacation aspect to it.
I mean, I was planning on being really really drunk for the
whole week, but I guess that's just not gonna happen.
Oh, Joe, go for it.
Yeah, have you ever have you ever messed up an RSS feed for a
podcast? Do you don't do that it takes weeks for all of that crap
to to flesh itself out. If you I've done this work that like
you mislabel somehow the beast or the enclosure? Oh my god, and
people are emailing and tweeting for weeks. It doesn't work. Your
file is no.org/alright Of course you can executive producer or go
out and propagate a formula formula is this. We go out. We
hit people in the mouth
I think that's going to be a t shirt. Dead link. Dead link
stupidity, not working on Quantcast or whatever it's
called.
Hey, so I got a hold of the guys who are doing the BitTorrent
folks
are really the the bid towards sync thing that Bram
Cohen Oh, and so they're going to
hold on. I've been I've been signed up for the beta for
weeks. I want to try the streaming stuff, but I get no
love from them.
Oh, okay. Well, I'll send them a note saying that they send you a
thing when you get back. Yeah. So they think they think is
great that we've been promoting it and they'll probably put us
on a high bite under website. Oh, cool. Cool. That'd be cool.
I gotta tell him we had I think it's the
only long term I think I'm totally agree with you. I think
this is the only thing the only safe distribution mechanism at
least for stuff like what we do
well what's nice about it and for those of you who haven't
heard if you if you go to the show notes, we've been doing it
for the past couple months if you go to 532 dot na
shownotes.com to see it right there. At the bottom of the of
the of the main page you'll see a link it says new to get the
show via bit torn sink. And I think we now have 35 computers
seating the show full time we have two folders one is the most
recent show. And then we have Eric the shill actually because
he's he's maintained an archive since day one, which I think now
is 40 gigabytes, some obscene number. And you can sign up to
that folder and you'll essentially be helping us
maintain history by having every single no agenda episode.
Because a lot of people want that they want all the back
catalogue. And so you can subscribe to either one of
those. And I really see this as the future of distribution. I'm
so agreeing with you. In fact, when you sign up when you you
get the BitTorrent Sync and you and you subscribe to our folder,
you get the show before it's released anywhere else to before
I even put it in the RSS feed before the show notes are even
up. You can get the show a lot of people seem to like that.
Yeah, everybody's in a hurry.
Yes. And in case no one had done this yet in America. I'm sure
someone has somewhere of course, here in the Gitmo lowlands,
people don't really care too much about what's going on in
America. As example, the Zimmerman trial, no one cares.
No one knows. No one's talking about it. It's not not on
anyone's mind whatsoever. NSA snooping. Yeah, no now that that
came out that the Netherlands actually has more phone taps
than any country in the world, which they're also not concerned
about here, by the way, because of course, no one has anything
to hide. But people aren't like, wow, how does an entire city go
bankrupt? And of course, I'm talking about Detroit. And you
can't talk about the bankruptcy of Detroit without going back to
2012. And President Obama saying this.
Just a few years ago, the auto industry wasn't just struggling.
It was flatlining. GM and Chrysler were on the verge of
collapse. Suppliers and distributors were at risk of
going under more than a million jobs across the country were on
the line. And not just auto jobs, but the jobs of teachers,
small business owners, and everyone in communities that
depend on this great American industry. But we refuse to throw
in the towel and do nothing. We refuse to let Detroit go
bankrupt. I bet on American workers and American ingenuity.
It's so funny.
All right. I'm gonna give it real nice guy and you're on
vacation. You're getting clipped for the day. That's a beauty.
Really?
You're telling me how you brought you did you did some
serious work? You went into the archives and found that clip?
Oh, wow. I wasn't even expecting it. And I'm like, I'm completely
befuddled here. Well, thank you so much, John. It's been been
quite a number of shows. Since we've had one. I'll take it.
Absolutely.
Yeah, we won't let them go bankrupt in there. They know I
guarantee no other show that does News Analysis. We'll do it.
We'll have that clip available to them to play to rubbish.
Rubbish, rubbish,
rubbish. Just take that to the bank. That's right. No one has
that. In fact, I sit on stuff like this for years. Just
waiting. Oh, yeah. You'll regret them words one day. Yeah. What
did he say? He says something recently said something else
that? I don't know. There's just so much.
Here's what really got me three times that I counted. He came
out in front of the press going to bitch and moan about Trayvon
Martin. But the classic, the classic line. And you know,
talking about nothing nobody cares about in Europe is this
one where essentially, he says that Trayvon Martin that
Zimmerman killed a future president? Yeah, nice. Crime. I
mean,
it's crazy. But I did want to just talk a little bit about
context, and how people have responded to it and how people
are feeling. You know? When Trayvon Martin was first shot, I
said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying
that is a Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago,
before, it's crap. It's pretty crap. I also thought that was
really, really weird. And I heard that too. I'm like, wow, I
mean, you're basically saying that you could have been killed.
I mean, that makes no sense whatsoever.
Now, that makes no sense whatsoever. And why is he
pandering to local politics? I mean, the whole thing is crazy.
I mean, this is the problem with this president. He can't rise
above these sort of little items like that, like the professor at
Harvard that was arrested, you know, he keeps getting involved
in these local issues that some someone brings to his attention.
Hey, there's a lot of black kids in Oakland that are shot like
every other day and Richmond, California and they're just
standing up for them.
You know, I will say that there is a feeling worldwide probably.
And this and this has worked is that America is just one big
racial pay. Heat. It's like white people hate black people,
black people live in ghettos. No white people live in ghettos. No
brown people live in ghettos. No red people live in ghettos, and
the black man is suppressed and the white man rules him and
hates him that has that has pretty much worked. That I will
say is the impression that people have a man oh, by the
way, in the south, a bunch of rednecks who hate gays. And we
don't. And we and we, and we don't want women to have
abortions. I have to say good work that has you've succeeded
in propagating that message about America. Totally. Yeah,
thanks. It's really sad. And I sit there I'm like, because
people still think he's Obama's
not helping matters with this bullcrap. And then me
No, no. And that is so dumb. It really, it's, it's pathetic.
It's sad. And there are a couple of a couple of black guys out
there. I saw one I didn't clip it because it was just, I don't
want to I don't want to honor the stupid conversation by by
bringing too much of it up on this show. Because you get
enough of that bullcrap. On mainstream media all the time.
The some black radio host, what's his name? That guy's
really good. And you got on Piers Morgan, and he just ripped
Morgan to shreds. It's just just, you know, it's like this
is this is the whole thing is bullcrap. And it really is and
it's it's annoying, and it's really bad for America. And it's
just it's bad. It's bad for white people, black people, all
people. The whole thing is lame Oregon's
is it's it's incumbent upon him to to try to put down their
whole culture because he saw above it all Yeah, that guy
but also for the President to say you know, that could have
been me. And you know, I when I walk when I walked into an
elevator, women would clutch their purse and car doors would
lock. That guy lived in Hawaii in a gated community. Are you
kidding me? How dare he?
How dare he was it Yeah, then he was at Harvard.
I mean, really? How dare I went to Salem College in West
Virginia 50% Black my roommate Tyree Hamilton was black and it
didn't make any any difference at all but I'll tell you that
was no Obama black okay really wasn't and they accepted me
there was like whatever it was it was no difference none what
there was no black or white and this is 19
No this is for many nine is people I would put Sharpton at
the top of this list by the way yes thank you
thank you haters just making hate for their and by the way
for their own benefit and profit in a horrible people
those good news coming out of Texas or actually go once they
became bad news
what was that? What did I miss? I turned around I left and what
happened?
Oh yeah, no, Texas is falling apart play the topless news.
Jeez. See, I knew I couldn't leave what is this
Welcome back everybody as always great news coming out of the
great state of Texas is all bigger so apparently there's a
little bar down there and Texas in Lewisville Texas to be exact
called redneck heaven bar a rabbit heaven bar and this
little bar would have something they called ABC days anything
but clothes so they had also little bikini bottoms but the
tops are not covered as you see there. It was all body pain Uh
huh. Okay, now this against was not against the law is perfectly
fine according to city ordinance there in Lewisville, Texas
however, a resident complained and now they're changing the law
saying you know what, if you work at a restaurant you said
you can no longer have body paint you must have on actual
clothing at this bar so now it is can no longer be truly
topless even with body pain in Lewisville, Texas it doesn't
look like they're wearing body paint. It doesn't look like
they're naked at all they must have pasties on and then paint
on top of the pasty so that who
is this idiot who is this woman who is this idiot woman I have
no idea I've considered clothing sizes covered I've asked the
producers to fly me down so I can investigate. Oh, we could
talk about kitties.
Right we have idiots doing the news but I actually think
there's a there's a an interesting aspect of this
story. So they have something that's just a tradition in this
bar and nobody gives a crap because it's fine with the city
and one lone person. What is wrong with people that one
complainer one complainer? Yeah it's like ridiculous one
complaint. I mean, why are you going into the place if you
don't, you know? Say, oh, is porn is terrible. Let me look at
it again. Oh, yes, this is terrible as I thought when I saw
it the first time. Just doesn't make any sense to me. Anyway,
it's just that Texas.
Thank you. Thank you. That's not really the Texas that I'm from
No. Okay, so something very interesting happened just as we
were wrapping up Thursday's show. And to remind you, I'll
give you a little taster. Morning to Carol, you know that
police sergeant apparently felt somewhat conflicted about
releasing the photos. But he also felt very strongly the
Rolling Stone cover was an insult and hurtful to survivors.
So this was his way of helping these new photos showing a much
different picture of Joe Hartzer Nighat captured by police, a
bloody face his hands up the laser from a sniper rifle
trained on his forehead. Okay, let's stop right there. John,
I'm sure by now you've seen these pictures that were
published through Boston Magazine. i There's a couple of
things that are bothering me. Okay. One is, where's the neck
wound?
Oh, the neck wound wears the next should be a neck wound it
should
be. And to has this, okay, whoever put these pictures
together? And by the way, stunning photography. These are
not some snapshots. These are, this is really well done. These
are very good pictures. Can anyone make this.on? The guy's
forehead more Hollywood? I mean, please. Have you ever used a
laser a laser sight at that range? Because you can see where
the gun is this.is the wrong size. I'm sorry, I'll
fix that. And from that distance, it should be it is
almost impossible to capture on a camera.
It's this there's something so wrong with this picture. And
then of course, I think this has so many there's multiple,
multiple layers. So this cop or the police photographer or
whatever his exact job is he has been suspended from the forest
because he didn't have permission to put this out. Now
of course, it makes a lot of sense that he wouldn't have
permission because it doesn't fit with the bullcrap story
we've been sold, that he was shot in the neck. And you know,
where did this wound come from? A and he just climbed out of the
boat himself, which of course doesn't fit with him confessing
on the inside of the boat that he wrote with some Sharpie Magic
Marker, where he actually said he did. He was not guilty to 30
counts when he was in court. And of course, we're still waiting
for the videotape that shows the brothers putting the backpacks
into the into the guard trying
to make that go away. That's That's exactly
exactly what is happening here. Do you have something on this?
No, I got nothing. Okay, let's just listen to the rest of this
report.
A vastly different image from the one depicted in the
controversial Rolling Stone cover. By the way, do you get
the idea John, that this was a kind of a left right, you know,
ping pong job that it was like okay, we'll get people all riled
up about which is ridiculous. By the way. We've had tons of mass
murderers and crazy people on the cover of Rolling Stone
magazine and all kinds of publications that everyone's
outraged we have all of the all
the stuff I bought that from the beginning.
But then you come out with these pictures to offset that with
this message. Massachusetts State Police Sergeant. You know
what I mean? Sean Murphy. So yeah, no, I think you're right
was so angry with Rolling Stones cover. He released these new
photographs to Boston Magazine and listen to this piece. Listen
to the man on the street pieces they put in here. The police
tactical photographer told the magazine quote, what Rolling
Stone did was wrong. The guy is evil. This is the real Boston
bomber. Not someone fluffed and buffed for the cover of Rolling
Stone fluffed
was on trial and found guilty. Oh, no,
this is another part of it. He's this is the he did it. He is
guilty, even though he's He said not guilty in court, to all 30
counts. There's no proof we're still missing the video. No,
this is in they have to cover up whatever went on. I think that's
the real face of terror. That's right, the real face of terror.
I agree with them. 100% Boston magazine's editor told CNN.
Murphy thought the cover sent the wrong message.
I think he was genuinely worried about the impact on the families
of the victims. And I think he was also worried that certain
impressionable people might be lured to replicate back by the
kind of glamorous looking photo that is on a rolling stone
cover.
Certainly his first public appearance since his arrest was
in court last week. He pleaded not guilty to 30 federal charges
including for killings, while images like these are already
having an impact. Some say the focus is all wrong.
I think they should focus all the attention on the brave
people on the people who lost their lives not the monster who
caused it all.
Isn't this great? Don't you love this man on the street stuff
they just throw in there and just like just grab someone just
put that
well, Carol apparently Murphy did not want Rolling Stone to
have the last say so he decided to release the police bow rose
himself. A police spokesman said in a statement the release of
the photos was not authorized by the Massachusetts State Police.
Murphy was suspended for a day and faces a hearing next week to
determine his status and investigation.
Oh, this bill paid by the way will pay
for doing his job right. Now this this is this is disturbing.
It's disturbing as what it is
disturbing. It's a kangaroo court as they say they're Trump
mob if this is the everybody's in on this at this mob thing.
It's a mob. It's a mob. It's a lynch mob. Yeah, the media is in
on it. I get a kick out of an NBC presentation just just I
only got a very small clip is called snide style. This is NBC
making, I believe that tells me I'm wrong. I may be just over
interpreted what I thought was a snide style of talking about the
Rolling Stone. It was just like, it just seemed like they're
chasing these guys. He is just weird to play in telling me to
think and
a statement Rolling Stone editor said their hearts go out to the
victims. They said the cover story falls within the
traditions of journalism and the magazines commitment to serious
and thoughtful coverage
by overdoing that it just seemed like in journalism and
thoughtful coverage. It just seemed I just the way he said
it. I thought it was tonight.
I want to listen to it again. I'm let me just check it out. In
a statement, Rolling Stone editors said their hearts go out
to the victims. They said the cover story falls within the
traditions of journalism and the magazine's commitment to serious
and thoughtful coverage. Yeah, it's snide. I mean, it's yeah,
it's snide. That was snide. It's typical though, it's, you know,
we were at the before we got on the plane from Austin to
Atlanta. We went to the newsstand. You know, and, and I
looked at the magazines, John. I like there's not a single one I
actually wanted to buy. It was all every single magazine had
bull crap on it. Every say no. Yeah, it's like, Why? Why should
I just read this bullcrap? When in Time Magazine, even the
economist look like bullcrap just everything is like and then
forget the the like the technology magazines.
Just yeah, the only time I have sometimes attracted is just one
of the car magazines of they have some really hot car that
I've never seen before. On the cover. I go, Oh, that's
interesting. And then I basically don't get I get
closest to the car magazines, though in terms of like being
suckered into buying them? Right? Yeah, well, it's, you
know, it's the business. I mean, in Europe, in fact, because most
unlike the United States, and England in particular, and the
United States, most of the magazine distribution is through
subscriptions. Right? In your in England in particular. And I
think in most of Europe, most of the magazine circulation is
through the newsstand. They don't have as many people that
actually get the magazine in the mail as we do here. Right. And
it has a lot to do with the post office and a lot of other
things. So in England, in particular, that's the
newsstands. I like to study because they have the most
aggressive covers, because they their whole business is to
compete with each other and get you to buy that magazine. Yeah,
much more so than American right. So when you are passing
through a new standard in Europe, you should
it's funny you mentioned that there's a pictures I think yeah,
I was reading an article I guess was it this morning that there's
there's now a push to get the to change the face of the
newsstands in the UK because of the you know that we have most
newspapers or a lot of newspapers there have sold the
page three girls so you got some some naked chick or semi naked
chick on page three. And they also have the lad mags as they
call them. And that's you know, that's kind of attracting Laddie
boys. Yeah. That's attracting buyers. Now lad mags is what
they call them lad mags
in the business that come lady boys. Lady Boy, man and and, and
that sounds kind of gay. promoter of the Yeah, the chief
promoter or the top of this group is Maxim.
Right? Which is very successful. Right maximum isn't a worldwide
super, super success. So yeah, license that everywhere. Yeah,
it's
very, it's a very humorous product.
Why is it that that works, but you know, the women don't buy
naked dudes and stuff. Why is that?
This reminds me of somebody who said on a radio show, and so
I'll never forget. They said, You know, it's funny that, that
women, women will wear like jeans and they'll wear shorts,
but it's weird because men don't wear dresses. I haven't dressed
standards. I haven't understand why they don't wear a dress.
Well that's another I have a dress.
There's there's guys in Austin who wear dresses. Yes, a lot of
guys wear dresses these days. It's kind of a more like a
Scott. dress but it's a dress nonetheless. I don't have one
but if I had the legs for it I want you said you had you just
said you have yet no, but I don't have one that I wear
outside because I don't have the legs for wear it around the
house. Yeah, I wear a dress at home.
Oh my god. Okay,
I'll send you a picture.
I know want to see. You wear makeup at home.
What do you mean at home? Yeah, we both have the same dress. We
Mickey and I have have like a night dress that we wear around
the house. Why am I even telling you this? I'm wondering myself,
this should not be known.
It's too late.
All right, let me you know, I'll give you something. Let me see I
got some funny clips that I pulled up here. Hold on a
second. This was Oh yeah. This was a commercial. I I tweeted at
some point I tweeted something about sis admins that sis admins
are the only guys you can really trust an organization because
they are truly the only people when you're typing in a password
they they physically look away. You've noticed this with good
sis admins, right?
Yeah, I noticed that it also every once in a while when I'm
doing my debit card, and I punch in the number it doesn't have
the protective shield. I before I hit the last number. I always
look up to see what the other person is doing. Yeah. And one
person staring at it. And I looked at her and she looks
away. She
Okay, well so sis admins are the guys that that really don't give
a crap about what you're doing. They just want to make sure
everything's running. You can trust them, you can trust them
with pretty much anything. And that's why I think sis admins
truly, really do run the world and when push comes to shove I'm
glad they're our friends because they're gonna make our show stay
on the air somehow. And then someone tweeted and said yeah,
well please don't blame us for installing Spectre 360 I'm like
Spectre 360 Have you heard of this?
I'm gonna find out now. Your company
keeps a lot of valuable data, customer lists, personnel files,
financial reports, confidential documents, and there are a lot
of employees with access to that data. So how can I be
sure that the white guy
know I don't know what it is? Yeah, listen, listen to this a
commercial though. It's it's an animated complaint
I am sorry.
For acting in your best interest. You could go all hard
nosed Caputo detective on everyone. But, um, that could
cause a lot of resentment, and grind your company to a halt.
Luckily, there's an easy way to monitor employees and guard
against insider threats. Introducing Spectre 360
revolutionary employee monitoring software that alerts
you to potential problems allow you to take immediate action. I
just love the whole the revolutionary employee
monitoring software. Oh, what does it do? Spectre 360 is like
an augmented security camera that records employee activity
proactively searching across company computers, servers and
mobile devices. So you can zero right in and replay the
suspicious behavior. So if an employee copies a sensitive file
onto a USB drive, and uploads a client list to the cloud, or
visits inappropriate websites, you'll be notified in no time
with a comprehensive report detailing exactly what happened.
There are no hours spent looking through backups or data log
Spectre 360 puts you in front of the problem, whether it's fraud,
productivity, even harassment, so you can deal with it
immediately minimizing any impact and improving your
organization's efficiency. So stop looking for that needle in
a haystack. Go to spectra three sixty.com for a free trial and
see the whole picture today.
I love the productivity part. They slipped in there.
Yeah. Well, you know, this is nothing new this type of
software. I remember first hearing about it that probably
the late 80s When networks are becoming very popular in
organizations and there was a guy was doing a radio show and
this guy came on discussing this and how you know you can keep
people off of the internet doing crazy things.
That was keep them off the internet altogether. Remember
that we had companies where you weren't allowed on the internet.
Yeah, there's that too. This is good, isn't it? So what
apparently this these guys are doing is a keylogger which is
like disgusting. I think
it's more than that. I think it's the way when I look at the
commercial. It's not it's a screen recorder. It's not just a
keylogger it's recording everything that is going on.
It's like a screen capture.
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure taking a movie like you know, I think
mode is used to have a movie maker that you could buy in and
essentially would turn the screen into the Camera and
everything that went on was recorded just step by step. And
then you can go back and look at it. Now this seems like the way
to defeat this, of course, is to just do so much stuff and so
many tabs and so fast and so many different ways that you'd
overload the thing. I don't see this thing actually being
performing as well as it. I don't know, I think there's no
reason for this sort of thing and accompany
Well, apparently, it's very successful.
Now, that's why the people will just do more stuff on their
phones now. Yeah, yeah. I mean, the phone of me watch the kids
and the kids. Nowadays, they got their eye. They had their
iPhones and they're surfing the web, and they're doing
everything you'd normally be doing on a desktop, and they'll,
instead of going on the desktop, or even a laptop, they'll just
do it on the phone. And you could do that at work. And in
fact, most workplaces nowadays, have people standing outside
talking on their own personal cell phones to their buddies and
wasting company time and doing all the rest of them they could
might as well be surfing the web and looking at porn on the
phone. So this is not going to be effective for anything that's
important. You want to harass somebody go do it on your phone.
Oh, by the way, I
pointless it's not used. I still have not used slave slaves. I've
I've been using the iPod Touch. Even here in in Europe still
have not turned the phone on.
Oh, yeah. Well, you're on the phone. Yeah. Well, that's why I
didn't get my text message. No,
you didn't send a text message you Ah,
how would you know that not using the phone
because I use a forwarding system that will give me a
notification if you sent me a text message but I do not
receive it on my phone as a text message.
All right. That's what you say. Anyway, so yeah, it's a funny so
these guys are being forced to put this stinks.
Yeah. By the way, sis admins, a lot of them wear dresses. Right
kilts, I should say maybe it's more like a kilt. And it's a
good look. It stinks. I think no, I think if you've got the
legs and you got the
bonnet, guys, if you got if you got great gorgeous legs and
shave. No looking good.
No, no, you don't want to shave the legs. That's not a good look
with the kill. You want to have like hairy, stocky legs. I have
no calves. That's my problem. So that looks like hey, there's
what's this guy with a Barbie legs? Isn't it's not a good
look. It's not? Well, you just don't understand. Alright, what
else we got here? A
lot of the big you know, these kinds of Bermuda shorts. These
guys these big baggy shorts. They look like a skirt. Right?
That guy
Brad for? This is another author bred for I think he's he's kind
of like, Ah, what's the guy? Clancy?
Tom Clancy.
This is kind of like a Clancy like guide. And he was being
interviewed about his most recent book, which I have two
quick clips here. You mentioned the name of it in the in the
second clip, but he was being interviewed. And what are you
banging me for?
I did. It was a mistake. Okay. It was an accidental thing.
Okay.
He was being interviewed on some show. It's probably like a CBS
or ABC. It wasn't the Good Morning America. But it was one
of these douchebag shows. And he says something that just kind of
he slips out there kind of was that that we've known about it,
but I never knew the actual code name for this, this program.
That apparently a lot of writers were slept into or after 911.
Why is this not starting? Hello, why are we not? Why are we not
working here?
For about trying to get to the book. You wrote another another
thriller and you're part of Homeland Security's red cell
program. Tell us about that and how that factors into what you
write about. After 911 The Department Homeland Security
invited creative thinkers in from outside DC to help them
figure out it helped them plot what the next terrorist attack
might look like. So with that said, as they said, Well, you
come in and apply your creativity to national security
the way you do your books. And so I call it the Las Vegas a
government programs because what happens in the red cell stays in
the Red Sox. I can't use it for my books.
How about that, huh? The red cell, the red cell program where
they ask creative people to use their creative thinking. And he
doesn't even Yeah, he doesn't even say to come up with
scenarios the terrorists might use no it's basically just dream
some crap up that you know, I don't know. Like, how about
this? How about a bombing at the marathon? I mean, this is
disgusting. Red cell program. Here's Here's a little bit more
from this, this Brad Thor guy.
Can you call your books faction? What does that mean? faction.
Now listen, I listened to what he says this is really important
because remember his his job is to dream up scenarios and dream
up stories for the Department of Homeland Security and whoever
else is in our security apparatus.
For instance, blacklist was all about the NSA and the explosion
of surveillance technology. I shouldn't say I don't write
textbooks, I write beach reads Ludlum Clancy and when I toured
for that book, I said, the next big thing we'll talk about in
the public square is the NSA and the total surveillance state.
This book here, I believe, is the next next thing we'll be
talking about in the public square. So the faction is I'm
taking real life things that I kind of see coming over the
horizon, applying that creativity, like I do for DHS,
and putting those into novel forms. So you can you
believe this, applying the creativity that I do for DHS,
are you kidding me? What is going on here? So to how so two
years ago, this guy writes about the NSA, and that's going to be
you know, he has this, which I haven't read any of his books,
nor will I ever. And so he and this is now of course,
everyone's talking about the NSA. So now he has his new book,
which he believes is the next new new thing. What could it be
about John? Because I have the answer, of course, but I'd love
to hear your guests.
The next thing we don't know dirty bombs are another attack
or thick people relaxing our vigilance. And then bad thing
happened. Bomb going into Syria having a battle with Russia? I
don't know.
No, no, I'm so sorry. All of that is wrong, a great
retreat. But when you close it, you're smarter for having read
the book. It's about the Federal Reserve, Federal Reserve, which
is about as federal as Federal Express. There's a lot of wacky
conspiracy theories. But the true history of the Fed is
fascinating. It's like it's been ripped out of a spy novel. And I
said I want to weave the fed into my next thriller. And
that's what I did with hidden
All right, so the Federal Reserve that will be the next
big thing
where I'll be talking about a target for someone
I don't know he's a part of the red cell program and he's gonna
be this guy may be protected. Who knows?
Let's take a look at him. Well, he looks like a college
fraternity guy. Yeah, he
does look kind of slick does me kind of varnishes
69 said very douchey looking at Lothair Lions of Lucerne path of
assassin State of the Union blowback takedown frisky cranks
out a lot of books but
for him for him well of course because this he's a part of the
red cell Pro and why would they even call it red cell? These are
things that I lie at night I lie awake and think about this. Why
do they have this douchebag that and how do they who comes up
with the idea? It's like okay, let's let's call these guys and
I mean, come on. How stupid do we have to be to see what's
going on here?
Red cell Turman, US government parlous for teams that test the
effectiveness of tactics. There's also an NCIS episode
knit and titled Red's
Wait a minute, that's not allowed. Because what's what
that he said that's not allowed. You're not allowed to take your
writing for the red cell and use it in your own work. So someone
violated
not necessarily they may not have been a member they may have
a friend who's a member they wrote a story about it true,
being hurt by the whole thing. Well, that's red team's red
cells, the United States Government parlance for the
national security coordination team and as si t. These teams or
units are designed to test the effectiveness of American
tactics or personnel red cell was reported to be a US Navy
SEAL team, composed mainly of members of Seal Team Six,
otherwise known as Opie oh six D, which has been organized to
attempt to infiltrate or otherwise tests the security of
US military bases and other insulin sensitive the US
security interests. The original red cell group was led by a
former commander of Seal Team Six dev grew Richard Mark cinco
until he was relieved in charge of various offenses including
misappropriation of funds. Red team is also term for opposing
force up for an award game by Western nations during cold war
it goes on this this is a different this is the term has
been co opted by the Department of Homeland Security from what I
can tell. Anyway, very good. Yeah.

roundtable for you. We've got hookers and blow rat poison
Chardonnay and a whole bunch of other stuff including mutton in
me. I can't read. I have to admit it. I can't read today.
Me for some unknown reason. So good news. You know, that just
gives you study culture. There's a lot of stuff that is
culturally created and developed in the California culture the
New York
Cultural Center, we have a I think we have a jingle for it.
What is wrong? Oops, something's, God. Here it is. We
have a jingle for it for whatever you're going to talk
about. Culture creation, creation, culture,
creationism, culture creation.
That you go culture creation. truism
Wow, pretty good. Never heard that jingle before. Yeah, as it
was. Took a while to hear it, but it was good. Yeah. So, so
the thing that and then Los Angeles not San Francisco is let
me San Francisco does have its moments I think in the 60s. But
generally speaking, most of the culture is created in Southern
California. And so now we have a thing happening and that first I
want you to play that this is the pot smoking moms, and to
start with the package and then we'll go on to the pot smoking
moms themselves. So
which one do I Oh pot smoking moms package. Okay, hold on one
second. I am there for you now.
Pick me up for some Beverly Hills moms. They say marijuana
and that is mommy's new helper. It makes them better wives. They
say better mothers. It's all legal medical stuff
right there totally agree. makes them better mothers and better
wisely
in California with marijuana purchase at dispensaries with a
prescription. But it's giving new meaning to the term potluck
party. Oh no. On a recent evening at a home in Beverly
Hills, a few moms gathered to enjoy food friendship and a few
laughs They do garnish incredibly well. But this was no
ordinary potluck party vaporizer time. Welcome to the Beverly
Hills Cannabis Club, a place where marijuana moms congregate
to take a break from the stress of family life. So this is
strawberry pop your hostess that self proclaimed Martha Stewart
of marijuana. Cheryl Schumann cannabis not only made me a
better mom, cannabis made me a better human being. Cannabis
made you a better mom. Absolutely. This is great.
Is a reality show in here? Right. Tell me there's a reality
show.
That No, there's not yet. But this this messaging is is
dynamite. And it's gotta be just galling the DEA and all these
other people because this is like your we're not in a dump.
We're not in somebody's basement. We're not in a kid.
Yes, Beverly. Beverly, Beverly Hills in a beautiful house. And
there's a bunch and all the women are gorgeous. And their
daughters are there and they were all smoking from these big
this big translucid bag. I don't even know what they're doing.
vaporizing, vaporizing? Yeah, okay, whatever.
So they haven't even they all have this and you're passing
around and they're all and they're pleasant or not a man.
Oh, toast them wasted. There's none of that. That doesn't do it
seems like it's ineffective. But they're all happy or they're
smiling. And second, I want to play the second part. But before
we do that, I want to mention something for people out there
who, at some point, this is going to become a big deal,
because you're going to be a lot is the show began. And I think
this may have been a package put together because drug companies
aren't advertising enough on Good Morning America, because it
started off with a slam against Prozac. Right? Some others,
right. Okay.
Yeah. So it's like you're not advertising enough. Hey, if you
guys don't advertise, we're going to start advertising the
free stuff.
Exactly. So I think there's maybe an element of that. But I
do want to mention some just a side note. The woman who is the
Martha Stewart of dope, she is producing a bunch of food for
these people and garnishing it with marijuana leaves. And I
want to remind people that marijuana should not be eaten
raw under any circumstances. It has to be cooked, because it has
these little my next door neighbor neurologist who gave me
this lecture. They have these little hooks, these very
microscopic hooks that that when it goes through the digestive
system, it latches on to like the intestinal walls and hangs
there for a while giving you all kinds of cramps and other
problems. You do not ever eat marijuana. Okay?
Another fun filled tip from Joe and Joe.
So these women again, this belief garnish is not a good
idea. So she's an idiot. So let's play the mom's talking
about this and how cool it was a baked
these moms, when they're talking hear the joke,
but they're not just kind of happy.
One day I was at my therapists office, and I told him, I said,
please help me get my life back. He said you need to smoke a
joint. So I took a hit off of it. I was smiling and happy and
I was like, This is really great. But critics might say
yes, you are. Hi. I was definitely medicated. But I will
tell you that I felt better. Having two puffs of cannabis at
that time than I had ever had any kind of results with
pharmaceuticals. Cheryl's daughter Amy agrees. I felt like
my mom was checked out on prescription pills. It was like
living with a zombie but when she would smoke, she was
smiling. She was connecting with us. It felt like we had our mom
Back. Medical marijuana is now legal in 18 states. But
parenting and pot still taboo. You know, though there are
people out there thinking mothers who smoke pot are Bad
Moms, I'm going to tell it from this point of view of my 10 year
old child. When I'm in pain, I'm in bed for days. I don't talk,
I'm miserable. My son will come up to me and say, Mom, it's time
to medicate. That's what I means. He means, go get some
cannabis. Come back to us. That's what I tell you. If your
10 year old child is okay with it. I think adults should be
okay with it. It's a controversial story. But you
know, there was a headline recently that more women in
America are dying of prescription drug overdose than
anything else and then anyone else so these moms maintain that
marijuana used responsibly is a safer alternative we should
point out bought a prescription in California and many of them
aren't.
Wow, that was Good Morning America. Yeah, wow. Yeah. Wow.
That's
that's LAMINAM that's this is this is the way publishers are
supposed to operate. Not that I'm saying that this is what you
do it that is ethical. But this is there's two ways things can
go down in publishing and I would include the broadcasting
industry one the advertisers push you around, right to you
push the advertisers around and that's certainly here that
serves the audience better so they are shoving it up the butts
of these guys who apparently are not advertising enough. And and
and at the same time creating this very interesting meme. And
I think the other takeaway from this that I got was that the
constant use by the women the moms the Beverly Hills stoners
Yeah, was is the word cannabis.
Yeah, instead of marijuana, right cannabis.
Right but shit or Mary Jane or anything weed weed. They'll call
it any that they call it cannabis. And I think that's a
very interesting change because that has a legitimate sound to
it. That doesn't make you sound like a doper.
Now this is in fact, I think you need to write that down. I think
that belongs in the Red Book. I think that's a very good catch.
And and you but we need to specify that you also have to
pronounce it a little elitist. He has to be cannabis. Cannabis
cannabis, the cannabis has to be cannabis cannabis. And I think
we'll see I think this is a good catch John, I'm down with that
but it could also it could also be a lead in to two
synthetically produced cannabis, which will we've we've been
waiting for this to come onto the market. It could be a very
elaborate lead into that.
It's possible but the way they were slamming the pharmaceutical
companies in that piece this particular piece had anything to
do with that. I think that would that would it be a separate
promotion? How about the word hemp whether you think that'll
be used or it's just really cannabis cannabis? I
think hemp is going to I think they're going to separate the
two because hemp is now showing up I just bought as a matter of
fact some hemp No, I bought I bought some hemp fudge fudge
sickles Yeah, so I'm at the grocery out there it was that we
call it locally gross out, which I like to shop at because they
have all these experiments and you know, things that they tried
to market they couldn't so they all it all goes through the
system. And it comes over it ends up gross out and you go
bump either stuff and so that's an interesting test that No
wonder nobody wanted it. Well one of the things they have
right now in the ice cream section are hemp bars. And so it
by the way, they're absolutely fantastic. And what the Hampton
so they have two of them and the one was the Fudd sickle so they
hemp fudge sickle is is and it's gotten it's made with no zero
milk, and no soy milk or any of these other things is made with
hemp milk. I don't know what hemp milk is, but apparently you
can make a milky substance by whipping up hemp around it. But
it's
just it's just protein right? There's I mean, there's there's,
there's nothing else in there and hence the marijuana plant
the I'm sorry, the cannabis plant is a it's a fantastic
plant. It's magical. You can you can build all kinds of stuff out
of it. It burns hotter than coal you can eat it you can there's a
million things you can do with it, which is obviously why it's
illegal. It's not just
because you can make rope from it. Yeah, you can make paper
from it. You can make fabric from it. You can you know and
depending on the breeding of the plant, I mean the rope hemp
usually doesn't have enough THC to do anything. But essentially
there's all these these things You can do with with the product
that is just a testament you know, it's amazing that they
made it illegal. The Hearst Corporation had something to do
with that because they own a bunch of forest and they didn't
want to HAMP
that's the story. Every story I always learned is that it was
because of the Hearst Hearst owned all of the trees that were
you know the paper mills but people were able were figuring
out they could make paper a lot more effectively with hemp and
it would be a lot cheaper and by the way, it's called a weed for
a reason because you can just you basically just throw that
into some some mud and it grows it's a very easy plant to
maintain. Yeah,
so I think this was a piece that because it's from the culture
capital is Beverly Hills it's got the women's were women
oriented not man there wasn't a guy in the place it's all women
and they're all in the mom is back from being medicated and an
idiot she couldn't get out of the bed and all the rest I mean,
this is messaging with like, just jaw dropping I like so
expect to see more of the same Yeah,
I like it. Well, we'll see either that or we'll get a whole
bunch of new new products. Of course it is also summertime
that you know advertising is low anyway. You know that I don't
know it's not really time. I think everyone's loaded up on
their prescription you know, they're off on holiday they're
all popping the pills but it's possible I think the hope you
wrote it down I think keeping up the whole guy got the cannabis
behind this. Yeah, I think that's that's a good point. I'm
surprised I'm very surprised that was an ABC Yeah, can you
imagine maybe Diane Sawyer smoking a joint on ABC like
he could do should be a better stoner
won't be able to use our jingle though.
I had spit in man. Well, let
me get that new jingle dialed am stoned again. I love me some
drunk Diane Sawyer stone would be even better I agree.
So I'm watching that you did the news hour or whatever you know
that that drama about it as liberal news thing, whatever
this new show. I have no idea what you're talking about. It's
a bit dips when people talk about called newsroom or news
hour. It's a it's a drama.
Oh, no. You mean on HBO the Yeah. Yeah, that's where they
pretend that they that the news is real.
The and then they also rewrite history. It's the
Sorkin thing. Yeah. Yeah. Sorkin Yeah. No, we watched we saw one
episode before we left. And it was kind of like it was the
season opener. And it was I was like, whatever.
No, it's terrible. But I saw I've got this little clip that
is the clip is called Oklahoma slam. And so I'm watching the
show. And they're talking about they had it they had there's two
shows that compete within the structure of the drama. And that
one of the shows has got different guys from the other
show. And it's it's bullcrap. But this one sure they got a
woman going on about all the stupidity, you know, Americans
don't know there's a moon, you know, they can't identify
Illinois on a map. They can't find the Middle East on a globe
and that kind of thing. And so they're rattling this off.
There's some of these details and I don't have this short clip
and then out of the blue because they're doing it from the
perspective of one of the producers watching the woman yak
about this and then he makes a gratuitous slam. And I'm just
thinking what what woke up on the right side of the bed about
this
in which the Civil War was thought one and forethought
Columbus discovered the New World sometime after 1750 and if
the bill of rights were abolished a third of high school
students wouldn't be able to name a right they just lost
things get worse in Oklahoma we almost always do.
I don't know what's that about they slipped that in other just
slipped that in it's like I think that's an inside producer
joke or something.
It had what this is slam Yeah, but it's an insult to all you
Oklahomans out there gifted the no agenda show.
That's you know, the first I watched the first season of that
show. It's called is it called newsroom? Is that what it's
called? Seriously? Nice news. It was something with what's his
name? Jeff Daniels know what? Daniel Daniels is out of time.
Yeah, we're
getting there. You know,
I watched that show. I watched the show with Mickey. And also,
here's how it goes. We're watching the show. And then
Mickey goes nipples. Of what? Just nipples. Apparently the
producer chick whatever her name is the British chick. Yeah. She
said like her nipples are showing the whole show. And I
keep missing it. Oh, huh. Yeah, apparently so did you? Yeah. I
didn't notice. All right. I got a
women's women's see a lot of things that are weird. Yeah.
Women will if there's a guide, Mimi has pointed this out to me
a couple of times. I'm driving along, you know. And she's just
looking at that guy's got his dick hanging out. When I said,
Where's this? Where are you driving?
San Francisco. We just the last time it happened. It was a few
years ago. It's not it's not that common. But I'm driving
along. And we're going up the hill to get on the freeway, you
know, where you used to have a place. And there's a seafarers
union and there's a guy standing out in front of the place.
Oh, it's on the corner of where I used to live up there. Yeah,
exactly. The guest
guy standing with his dick hanging out and spots it
immediately. That guy's got his ticket. And so I looked over, I
said, What are you talking about? I look and look and look,
and I couldn't even see it. I don't know, was looking his
heads or something. And I see the guy with his dog hanging.
Weird. And I'm reminded of a time that I was
meanwhile, me. Well, when you're walking around the house with
your dick hanging out, you can't get any attention.
Exactly. So if I am with the group and PC Magazine, and one
of the PR girls, were in a car park at some hotel, and one of
the PR women says look at that guy's playing with themselves.
The guys are all what's that guy over there? They get into bins.
She pointed them out. And you could I would have never seen
this in a million years. Women spot this stuff a mile away. The
guy's got both hands in his pockets. And he's obviously
playing with himself. If you took a good look
excellent. Good work.
So congratulations, ladies. Yes.
It's certainly about the ladies. They I'm telling you and I
stopped that I stopped that thing. I'd rewind it back. So
what do you talk and lo and behold, I'm trying to follow the
story. You know, nipples, but what? And now what now has
become a thing where I watch the show. I'm like, what are the
nipples? I can't follow it. I don't know. Anyway, there you
go. Here we are two dudes talking about chicks and what
they see how sad are we
happens? We're not talking about comic books. Yet inside
Yeah, that's. That's pretty insane. Well, I was going to I
was gonna throw this one out. Yeah, here we go. And he's gonna
read his email. Jen agenda show. Hey, crackpot, the show Marvel
Superhero Squad owned by Disney and geared for four to eight
year olds is a kiddie take on the Marvel superheroes. I've
seen many episodes, and it never takes anything seriously. But in
season one, episode 22. Flat man, a very boring superhero.
has a special message for the kids. Now remember, this is a
Disney show. And this is from our producer Matt, who caught
this and was kind enough to clip this wrap your legs we better
get to higher ground.
Nonsense. The waters won't get any higher. I refuse to believe
that global warming could possibly I've heard of the head
in the sand approach. It's more like head under the water.
Okay, so could you hear that? Because the volume is a little
bit low.
I could hear something about some some feet creep saying
global warming is bogus. Right? And then the kids go nuts on it.
Right? So here's so So essentially, we have the
superhero flat man who of course, you know, that means
he's like flat Earth man, I guess. And so he's against
global warming. And here he is again with these kids. And this
is just unbelievable slave training. Let me see if I can up
this volume a little bit. I'm sorry. I I'm not at the normal
station here. So can I do this with output? See if this works.
Hello, I'm Dr. Valbonne shara, also known as Welcome to the
conference on global warming. My assistant rep Thiel isn't a
super genius like me, so please forgive him if he says anything
silly. Let's begin. Mr. Sun as seen here has gotten angry with
poor Mrs. or Ms. decided to turn up. Wait. Global warming He's
about greenhouse gases, you know, pollution that comes from
our cars and factories. It traps the heat from the sun. You're
welcome to your opinion, but you're wrong. Look at my
powerful drawings. Mr. Sun is so mean her
wait a microTesla Why would you put a self destruct button on
this machine? Can you believe that? Oh, that's a great catch.
And yeah, sorry about the levels but I think on the recording and
on the live stream people who want to hear I mean, that's,
that's unbelievable. So they're essentially taking Mr. Flat man,
the superhero, and he's propagating the Oh, the song was
so angry with the earth. But then, you know, it's like, no,
you're wrong, and you're bad. That's bad for you to say that
because it's greenhouse gases. I like wow, this is a propaganda
for chill for little sleeveless.
Yeah, exactly what it is there's no denying it.
No, well, in fact the sciences you know, regardless of what
anyone's opinion is, I think it's it's really not okay for
for either any type of messaging really like this in children's
programming from Disney.
It's some producer, you know, the hair possess, you know, it's
a probably a, you know, the I know the type. Yeah. Yeah, we
know the type anyway. Yeah, that's disgusting. So I got an
interesting little thing I thought was good. Okay. Got
this. We had an ex senator from New Hampshire, who I think was
was there and it was a Republican of all things. Was I
believe rousted by some of the right wing people. But this is
this. I don't have him reading that. Oh, but I have that guy on
democracy now is who takes over when Amy Goodman? That guy with
a funny looking mustache? When Amy Goodman is not around
reading the guys letter. And just this I think is very cool.
I don't know what to play here. It is Humphreys sins not but it
should be note, okay.
That's why I was confused. Okay, here we go. And former two term
Republican Senator Gordon Humphrey of New Hampshire who
emailed Edward Snowden on Monday. And he wrote in part,
quote, Mr. Snowden, provided you have not leaked information that
would put in harm's way any intelligence agent, I believe
you'd have done the right thing and exposing what I regard as
massive violation of the United States Constitution, having
served in the United States Senate for 12 years as a member
of the Foreign Relations Committee, the Armed Services
Committee and the Judiciary Committee. I think I have a good
grounding to reach my conclusion, I wish you well in
your efforts to secure asylum and encourage you to persevere.
Okay.
I just thought this guy, Chris, he's a Republican, kind of, I
guess, an old fashioned Republican who cares about these
sorts of things. And nobody everybody else is calling this
guy a traitor and a dipshit. And, uh, you know, because we
have our own theories, which are alien to everything else, but
it'd be but the real point is, is that the way people react to
him is worth studying. And it's just like, one guy, one lone
guy, you know, X Senator with good creds. Yeah, it's not like
a slouch. says this is this is ridiculous. And it brings up the
point, I'm sure there's a bunch of ex politicians and other
people that are just saying, why isn't everybody reacting like
this? Well, meanwhile,
we have the Bradley Manning trial going on, which is is
getting I think, very little attention is from what I can
tell, or it's sporadic at best, of course,
yeah, they're trying to submerge that thing. Well, they're also
trying. Yeah,
well, I mean, the so the whole idea here is, is to find a way
to justify calling a whistleblower or anyone who,
essentially anyone who does anything that is not on board
with the program to classify you as a traitor. And a trader, of
course means you would be aiding and aiding, abetting. And is it
not comforting? I think, is it comforting the enemy? Is it
aiding, comforting aiding and abetting? Yeah, right. But I
think comforting is also a part of it. Not that that's relevant
to this clip, but the way they are now classifying Bradley
Manning, who leaked documents to WikiLeaks, who of course,
WikiLeaks didn't actually publish it immediately. They
sent it off to the New York Times and The Guardian and is
built and all these other things. Yeah. But here's how
they're going to get this guy on lock him up.
Judge Lynn says that Manny's char training made him aware of
the fact that terrorist organizations use the internet.
Therefore, he should have known that the 700,000 Mila carry on
diplomatic documents that he leaked could ends up in the
hands of America's enemies one day. So,
in other words, if you do if you say anything on the internet,
you know, terrorists use the internet, and therefore you are
aiding the enemy.
Yes, well, this is a lot of people believe and I'm one of
them that this is a is a Reuss to go after all.
Everything, everything and everybody. Yeah, all things.
Yes. Yes.
And as because the and this shield law, of course plays
right into this because the shield law doesn't shield you
from anything like this. So if you write ups, any thing like
this red cell guy, you write up a scenario that may be giving
somebody a good idea, or you're aiding and abetting the enemy by
by this, these definitions, and they can get you for treason. So
essentially, you can't write about national security issues
or scenarios or anything. In fact, they could probably make
anything sound like you're aiding the enemy. What if you
write a comedy act? You've written the funniest comedy act
ever? It's hilarious. And they then the enemy whoever this just
nebulous enemy is some let's see the organization to bin Laden
organization, which should call it that yellow Yeah, the
bin Laden organization. Yes.
So they listened to the comedy I can crack up it's hilarious to
them. Is that not aiding and abetting the enemy? Well, it's
certainly comforting them
Yeah, well, that's exactly it's comforting comforting them and
then is getting there what's the other thing that the wanting
publishing, right? I mean, this all is lining up like a perfect
scenario, because I shut us down Yeah, I
also have a feeling that this Trans Pacific Partnership thing
this TPP that is so secret somehow the feeling that plays
into this as well, you know what I mean? It's possible almost
like a definition of traitor let me just see I'm gonna just get
the
other way have an undeclared war so I don't see how any of this
fits in with aiding and abetting the enemy what enemy are we at
war is the Congress declared war I don't think so.
What is the IS is a definition of trade treason that's what it
is treason. Treason let me just see. I know we've looked this up
before treason legal then we have a thing isn't isn't our
constitutional treason clause there is. Yeah, yeah. But
just says treason you can't commit it.
You can you find I can't read. I'm having a hard time reading
today.
Do you want me to get the definition of trees? Yes,
please. The Constitutional definition if you don't mind?
Would you like me to play a little music while you're
looking this
up? Okay, well, here's the straight up definition which is
crime of betraying one's country especially by attempting to kill
the sovereign or overthrow the government
right now but that that's the that's kind of like what we
would all understand. But then you have the constitutional
definition which is something about comforting and we've
talked about this and aiding the the the enemy.
Yeah. Yep. Play a little traveling music and Allah. Here
it is definition of treason in US Constitution. Article Three
of the US Constitution. That would be the open article thiese
open. Article Three establishes the judicial branch of the
federal government and blah, blah, and it was treason in
here. Number of courts this shooting yourself
as a constitutional scholar, I'm quite disappointed. You can't
just rattle this off the top of your head this is
a s o n. Section three defines treason and his punishment.
treason against the United States shall consist only in
levying war against them
all right. It has to be a war that's right. It cannot it
cannot happen if there's not a war which, of course, Bradley
Manning was Iraq, I believe was a declared war was it not? No.
Only only use of force was what Congress agreed to something for
the Iraq
Yeah, some bullcrap. But they never declared war, right. Okay.
Treason. So this is only in levying war against them or in
adhering to their enemies giving them aid and comfort. A
consistent living in other words, you have to be you have
to well now I'm telling you when we loosened this up a little
bit, treason against necessarily consists of consists Only in
levying war in other words, I'm at war with my country. I've
decided to go to war against United States All right, that's
I would be a treat a traitor, right? But or in adhering to
their enemies, which, if we don't have a war, there's no
enemies, giving them aid and cover No person shall be
convicted of treason. Unless on the testimony of two witnesses
of this, of the same overt act, or in confession in open court,
the Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of
treason, but no attainder of treason show work. No attainder
of treating so work corruption of blood or forfeiture except
during the life of the person tained on does this mean?
attainder is I used to know this in English criminal law,
attainder or act in a tin Tura was the metaphorical stain or
corruption of blood which rose from the condemned for a serious
capital crime. And until those not only ones property and
hereditary titles, but typically also the right to pass them on.
Red Cow and CO science. I'm gonna say that means anything to
me. The Constitution defines treason as specific acts namely
loving war against ISIS or in adhering to their enemies giving
them aid and comfort in contrast, is therefore
maintained. This is the Wikipedia with the English law,
whereby the a variety of crimes including conspiring to kill the
king, or violating the Queen, who were punishable is treason.
They the Supreme Court ruled that there must be actual
assembling of men for the treasonable purpose, to
constitute a living of war. I
think all of this means if you put something on the internet,
you're a traitor. That sounds right to me. I don't know. I
don't can't you? Can't you connect the dots already?
I think you might. I mean, I can see somebody thinking that
whatever the case is, it's just as an attack on this is a
horrible attack. But there's Mannington. What banning do,
actually. He, he violated his terms of employment. Yeah,
essentially. And that's what he should be charged with. He
didn't do treason. He didn't do any of these things that I can
tell you. You know, I sent out a bunch of confidential memos he
wasn't supposed to do.
Yeah, so one was 700,000. Cables.
Yeah. And all it was is it all day was embarrassed? Hillary?
Yeah.
Yeah. Who likes to do business at funerals? Hey, what
do you think of the dead guy?
Good. He's dead. Hey, by the way, you should have contributed
to my to my husband bills library.
Yeah, it's good. It's good project. So talking about that
type of work. So I got the clip. This is my last clip, I think I
got the clip it because I've always referring to this clip
from the movie casino, where the gangsters are going around about
this guy, about bumping the guy off the lawyer, their best
friend lawyer who is just a great guy. And he's, you know,
as an attorney, they can't really charge me anything there.
But they're killing everybody in the process of this trial that
they're all in all these old fart suits from the Midwest. And
the one guy at the very end is the leader, whatever he really
says goes everybody else just kind of they they have put their
two cents in. But it's like this was the scene with the House of
the Rising Sun playing in the background, which kind of ruins
it to use it as an evergreen clip. But I just wanted to get
it out there. So we got it. I just had to play guitar.
And I agree, I think it's a good idea. Could you just put it into
context? Because we have mentioned this several times you
need to put the clip in the context of current day events.
Yeah, what the reason I guess it's like I don't know at any
specific current day event, but I keep bringing this up the idea
that when you're when you got a situation you at the at the end
of the day, instead of being reasonable you just you do a
scorched earth policy because why take a chance Why take a
chance that anyone's going to do the right thing why take a
chance and they're not going to turn on your white picket fence
about stuff. But this is the this right in the end with this
the clip just to get it out of the way he
needed doctors at their arraignment and Pretrial
Services recommends that bail remain is presently set right
and take a 10 minute recess
when it looks like they could get 25 years to life in prison
just for skimming a casino sick or no fucking sick you know,
people are gonna get click sorted at arraignment. They had
this meeting right in the back of the courthouse. See when
something like this happens. You know how things are going to
work out. It's always better with no witnesses. So what about
anti Iran tour? Stones?
Good Kid, stand up guy just like his own man. Just the way I see.
I agree. Solid Marine. He's okay. He always was real What do
you think? I think a chance. Makes sense way I feel that's
how we're
going to end Johnny Boy. Why take it why take a chance at
harmless those guys? I want to take a chance. All right, I got
a final clip. This is I think it says it's Senator Frank Wolf, as
a senator or congressman,
Frank Wolf, it sounds like a congressman. I think he may be a
Congressman Frank Wolf has gone on this tear for the past couple
of days. And he says he's just not going to stop I you know,
we're, of course, we're in kind of the low season here and no
one's watching. He's a congressman, Congressman. So
he's just, he's just going at it every single day. Here's his
latest, and he'll be back at it again tomorrow.
According to trusted sources that have contacted my office.
Many if not all, the survivors of the Benghazi attacks, along
with others at the Department of Defense and CIA, have been asked
or directed to sign additional non disclosure agreements about
their involvement in the Benghazi attack some of these
new NDAs, as they call them, I've been told were sign as
recently, as this summer. It is worth noting that the Marine
Corps times yesterday reported that the Marine colonel whose
task force was responsible for special operations in northern
and western Africa, at the time of the attack is still on active
duty despite claims that he retired and therefore could not
be forced to testify before Congress. If these reports are
accurate. This would be a stunning revelation to any
member of Congress, any member of Congress to find this out,
and also, more importantly, to the American people,
which is why of course it's all over the news.
Well, you got me on that one.
What's this NDA business? I didn't know but which that gray
is fantastic.
Why would you have people that were at a an event? Like well,
because we know why. Because if anyone's listening to our show
long enough, they know our thesis or joint thesis on this
is pretty straightforward. It's a kidnapping that went awry
arrived. And ended up with a guy getting killed and the whole
thing falling apart and humiliated everybody and there's
lots of people yelling, we're sure at each other, but now
they're having him sign. NDAs Yeah, really? Yeah. That is on
believable.
That's not it. But it's not even a national security letter. It's
an NDA. Well, I guess, worse than getting arrested. They're
gonna sue you into oblivion, or I'm, what is going on?
I like to see the wording of the NDA betches worded like a
national security letter out with all these veiled threats?
I'm sure it is. Wow, well, we'll keep tabs on it if nobody else
does.
Okay, John, let's, let's review. So I'll tell you what my what my
schedule is, and I'd love to hear what you're going to do. So
today is Sunday, tomorrow, we fly to the south of France.
That's where my friend Michelle has a house and he's in a will
be there with the I think it's the ambassador of the Barbados.
I think it's like a whole bunch of elites drinking champagne. So
I'll have tons of stories from that. By the way, that guy has
narcolepsy. And he falls asleep all the time when you're talking
to him. So I can't wait to see how he's doing.
Are they all Obama bots?
I have no idea. No, I don't think so. Not that probably
probably pretty elitist. I don't know if they're Obama. Well,
maybe that makes him Obama bots. I don't know. Michelle's
English, he's British. So he's, he's, he's, he's he's against
everything, but he's a drinker. So we'll be drinking up a storm.
Of course, on Thursday, that we will release the Ramsey Kane, no
agenda cd.com produced clip show, which I'm looking forward
to, I think it's gonna be great. Because it's a third party. It's
not what we think is good. And he's really good at pulling
apart, you know, pulling out little bits and shorter clips.
So it might actually be something you would call the
primer, or I would call the primer, then on Sunday, so
actually, I think Friday, Miss Mickey and I will then drive
from the south of France to Florence and go visit Willow.
But by the way, I made a joke or you made the joke about the
Florence meetup. Turns out we actually we actually have a
listener in Florence. Willow. Willow listens. Yeah, no. And he
said, Yeah, that was do the meetup, but he's actually on
vacation. So he won't be there. Unfortunately,
though. You're gonna have you and Willow.
Yeah. And well, Willow and her husband and the kids and so Miss
Maciel oh man, stop that. Wow, why are you digging me the whole
time?
I'm just Jenna. dinging mood. I'm Denise. Okay, sorry.
Then we're going to stay in Florence itself for two days at
a Airbnb of course why book a hotel ever again in your life.
Then we fly back on Sunday or Monday and of course the by then
we'll have our interview show. Oh, then we're going to be, I'm
going to be an Amsterdam. Stop it. I'm already tired. Stop,
make I didn't bring any noisemakers either. I forgot all
my toys. Then we're going to be here for five days. Now actually
the Sunday show I do from here. So we'll be back now. What am I
talking about? Do I even know now? It's Thursday. So many
you're lost that you've lost it, dude. No, I'm Thursday. No, the
Thursday. Should we do the Thursday show? I thought was
doing two shows here. No, no, just one show.
The Thursday show no, the way it was scheduled? Yeah, I
don't even know what I'm talking about. Let me look at the
calendar and on a second. Am I saying this right. So okay, so
123. So, Sunday today is what is today? 21st. Oh, yeah. And I got

Okay, so you're doing a show on the fourth from Amsterdam? Yeah,
yes. Okay. So this shows that we're not doing and the ones
that we do is Thursday, the
25th. And sunrise and Sunday the 28th. Right, right. And so I'm
doing two more shows from here. So Thursday, the first I do the
show from here. And Sunday, the fourth I
do the show? Are you going to stay in that same location? No,
we have a
different Airbnb. Also on the third floor in a different part
of the ghetto.
Okay, does the internet connection be as good because
this one was was okay,
this was okay. The only problem is very noisy. So even though I
had the noise gate, which keeps down some of the, you know, I
don't know if you could hear it, but I knew motorcycles going by
car science
adds it adds ambiance I like that.
I'm glad you like it. Alright, so yeah. And then, of course,
I'm gonna see my daughter, which is always fun, so I get to hang
out with her. That'll be when we come back next week. And I will
have stories. We'll have stories from the elites in France. I
will have stories of cannabis from Florence. And stories of
dirty streets and whatever. We're also going to go to the
Rights Museum, Miss Mickey and I, which is now open again here.
Not so good. It's cool. It's nice Museum has a big deal. But
it's alright.
It's new. Its newly refreshed. So again, on Thursday, we bring
you Ramsey canes clip show. I guess we're going to do a fresh
intros for that. So it'll be fun. And then the interview show
