You would the crocs knee with the dress. Oh, it's those guys.
They know what's going on there. So hip, Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak. Sunday, August 25 2013. Time for your Gitmo nation media
assassination. Episode Five, four.
This is no agenda. Switching the
nuclear threat warning level three here in the Travis heights
hideout in the capital of the drone Star State Austin J House.
Good morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm picking up the slack.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Leaving picking up the slack lead and that infers that I'm
slack. And say that okay, good, then.
I'm just picking it up. Yeah, you are
actually, you're my, you're my canary in the coal mine, my
friend. Yeah, what happened?
Well, you know, when that Fukushima cloud comes over, it's
gonna come and now I can see it. So if you die, if you die, then
yeah, then I then I know have something to worry about.
Because, man, are they ratcheting that up? Or what?
Yeah, it's pretty, pretty ridiculous, actually. And
I've, I figured some of this out, you know, we already know
where some of this is coming from. And this is still about
the 300. You know, this 300 tons of water. And we went through
all the calculations how it's not actually all that bad. But
here's the reporting came through on CNN, which I watched
a little bit of the yesterday.
Concern, so read toxic water leak at Japan's Fukushima
nuclear plant are now intensifying. That is because
the country is getting ready to push the nuclear accident
warning level to three.
I love the verbiage used there. What are you doing? Ah, I'm
pushing the nuclear threat warning level to three. The
whole country is doing it, which means it
is classified as serious that is the highest level it has been
since the huge earthquake and tsunami triggered that massive
meltdown back in 2011. As situation is so troubling,
Japan's top nuclear official is now compared comparing that
plant to a house of horrors. Yeah,
horse. Exactly. How's a horse can always count on your John,
she didn't miss a beat.
This is really quite interesting. And I've been
trying to figure out, of course, I would say right off the bat
that I'm very skeptical about the danger. The House of Horrors
coming from Fukushima. We've been hearing this for quite a
while. But there's a couple a couple of old people who have
popped up again now who are in this conversation. Have you ever
heard of John the the GE three?
Yeah, that's the refrigerator they were making in the 50s.
That was a big flop.
Not the GE three was now we're going back to the 70s. These
were actually I should do the G three. I thought I had it in the
show notes. Let me just bring it up here on the wiki PDS. The G
three were three nuclear engineers who quote unquote, and
in the book of knowledge, Wikipedia actually has this in
quotes, blew the whistle on safety problems at nuclear power
plants in 1976. They then subsequently went on to become
technical Association advisors to the movie, The China
Syndrome, which conveniently came out I don't know, like 12
days before a Three Mile Island. Yeah, yeah. And these guys, they
were part of something called the creative Initiative
Foundation.
did some digging today, ya
know, I'm getting a little pissed off about it. Because you
know, this is these people are now back and Gregory miner, I
think is the main guy who's back and then you know, they're
talking the same smack that we're talking about what no one
from three, no one died during Three Mile Island. I might want
to point that out. And I but I think I figured it out. It makes
so much sense really, when you think that we have the the new
IPCC report due in less than six months. Now this, of course, is
the same as the big the big climate change Bible. And I
think we've gone from 95% of all scientists in the entire
universe to 97% believe in manmade global warming and
climate change. So this report is on its way. And I think
here's here's what the issue is, you know, we have this we have
natural gas now. It's I think about four bucks. John, can you
check? That's right, I can check as that's the so it's $4 per
1000 tons or something. mega mega flop flips.
It's right was the whatever they call it. Actually were feet per
whatever. Yeah.
So that's $4 at the well. $3.49
is
down a little bit. You know that By the time that comes to I
don't
even remember getting to $4 has been floating around 350 to 375,
something like that. So this is this is, you know, it is going
to inch up a little press, by the way
that's just depressed.
Yeah. But I guess the real problem is, you know, the whole
climate change thing, if we see if we don't have, we have
alternatives to what we're doing now we have natural gas, which
is, you know, probably going to be become expensive when the
depression on the price stops. We have nuclear as an
option. We're banking on that. I mean, they're hoping to God that
it becomes expensive, because yeah,
because it's they're losing, they're
losing money on natural gas. So
they really got to make this, this nuclear thing really,
really, really scary. Because, you know, if we don't die from
if we don't have actual bodies to show for this new thing, then
you know, people might start thinking about it.
No, I think you've I think the logic here is correct. Because
they're there. They can't seem to get this natural gas thing to
work out. No. And that of course, then it's also because
much of it comes from fracking, which is a nightmare public is
nightmare. Exploding, tap
water. People fall into sinkholes, and earthquakes are
occurring in places they've never occurred before. Yeah,
yeah, that stuff. Yeah.
So I think they're beside themselves. But
it's kind of fun to see where you have, you know, people who
obviously care about the environment. And, and I will
point out that, you know, people say, Oh, you guys don't care
about the university environment. Yeah, we do.
Who was that guy?
Yeah, he was on bitter guy on bit message. That guy again, he
keeps
gets too much attention.
You don't care. You don't care about the environment? Yeah, no,
of course, we I have kid John's got kids, because we care about
the environment. But we also care about not being bullcrap.
And, you know, it's you can't have it both ways. You know, you
if you're either going to die from global warming, and we have
to do something. And you know, if gas is not going to be it,
then what's it going to be? Is it going to be solar, which I
think solar, quite honestly has does have a place. I mean,
yeah, be wonderful in Washington State.
That's not the place. I was thinking of thinking
he does have a place. It's called Arizona.
Texas is really great for good. Yeah, it's kind of like, Oh, I'm
hearing the these things are working out better and better.
But still, you know, when the sun goes down, that's it. What
are you going to do? You can't house on batteries can Yeah, I
mean, that's,
well, there's these battery systems that you run cars on
batteries. You can do the same thing with your house, but it's
kind of expensive. To have the kind of batteries you need to
power the house. So
yeah, yeah. So yeah, so this, the IPCC reports come and Al
Gore already out there in full force talking about it. And it
was quite funny. Who's the what's the guy's name as
recline? Is he the Is he a Times reporter?
I don't know if sounds familiar,
as reclined. So he as recline interviewed Al Gore. Because, of
course, you know, this is all coming up now. And so the new
IPCC report is going to, I guess, contradict the whole idea
that weather is not climate, because of course, all these
violent storms we've had, they're all part of, of manmade
climate change. And in this, and unfortunately, this is only a
written interview. With Al Gore, I quote from it would there be
hurricanes and floods and droughts with manmade global
warming, of course, but they're stronger. Now. The extreme
events are more extreme, the hurricane scale used to be one
to five, now they're adding a sixth, the fingerprint of
manmade global warming is all over the storms and extreme
weather events. Unfortunately, there's no six. It doesn't go to
11. There isn't, nor is anyone planning on adding a sixth. So
for Gore to say that they're adding an extra notch on the
scale, just in time for his report is, is of course
incredible. Bullshit. And then Ezra Klein came back the next
day and said, No, no, I transcribed it wrong.
Oh, wait, did transcribe they're adding and then here's the
here's the quote, they're adding a six. I transcribed it wrong.
What did he say? Then? They're adding a zero. They're adding a
5.10. Let
me let me bring up the mic. Bring up his Mia culpa. That was
fun.
transcribed it wrong. How is that a transcription error?
Well, unless he made it up,
well, let me let me go I have I have written now here's I'm
gonna tell you what he said wrong. On Wednesday I published
an interview with Al Gore in which he mentioned that the
scientific community was beginning to consider category
six hurricanes. The line has attracted some criticism belsay
Because there are no official plans to add a sticks category
to the one to five scale. Here's what I had Gore saying and he
goes in this whole thing. And he says, I'm out of town away from
my tape recorder, so I asked Gore staff about the line. So
apparently he didn't have his tape recorder and I guess he was
transcribing it from memory. All Things can't someone just admit
that the Gore said something stupid.
No. Can't be done. Gore probably said it, and then denied it
later after he was discovered.
Yeah, and conveniently there's no there's no tape recorder
nearby. Right? Just that.
Yeah. Uh huh. Yeah, this makes nothing but sense. So Gore is
full of crap. This guy won't call him out because he's on
board. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
But But it all ties in, you've got the you've got the nuclear
thing we really got to be afraid of Fukushima. We're all gonna
die. And again, when you go, then I'll know I was wrong.
Yeah, well, I'll be here for a while. I can guarantee it's
gonna hit you first. My friend
probably hit it probably hit Portland. You can't Don't eat
any fish. I got the Geiger counter. I'm not worried. There
you go. What you've been through, as well. So we've got a
conundrum on our mailing issue. Of course, people didn't get the
newsletter that was sent out yesterday. They should go look
around for it, because it's probably somewhere now. So I got
I'm getting so I put in the newsletter and L and we talked
about on the show that these this craziness is now going on.
And what's interesting to me is that it is completely
inconsistent.
Yeah, because we only report we have some providers like
Outlook, it's not showing up anywhere. It's not even getting
into spam, I
think, well, here let me read a couple of the notes. In fact, it
is getting through some and then some others is not as this is
what's weird, but this is happening with all the carriers.
This is a Nicola says the Congreso. Gmail just upgraded
the newsletter to spam. Yay, it was sent directly to the spam
folder, even upgraded. I got it in Yahoo. That's how I knew
about this particular note. So now it's Gmail is just throwing
it in the spam. John, I have the new Gmail inbox dalawa. And he's
getting it in the promotions. When I slide these messages from
the promotion box to the inbox, the individual message moves
across to the inbox and a box appears saying undo do this
automatically for future similar message from the same sender.
Clicking Yes, within five seconds should see us going
forward. I've had other reports that they try, this doesn't
work. I've
tried it with a Gmail account, and it's still wanting to spam
patients. I'm sorry,
this is Orion. 242 writing in Hotmail is dumping this in the
junk folder. As far as I remember, this is a fairly new
development.
Now there's there's a couple things, a lot of people think
that they're not having a problem. But that's because they
have an email client configured with their Gmail or Yahoo mail.
So if you're using IMAP or POP three, you're probably not going
to have this this issue. Maybe, although you might have the the
junk, the junk mail issue of
junk mail issue. Here's another one from Elena south. He says
I'm an outlook.com user, which is the new version of mail. And
nine out of 10 times the newsletter gets moved to the
junk folder. This happens even when I report that Microsoft
that it is not junk. Yeah. So that's what I consider the big
problem, which is people are reassigning the status of the
mailings? And then they're paying no to us. So why are we
you're just a stupid user?
Well, but I think it's worse because if you look at Gmail
specifically, you'll see in the promotions tab, if you haven't,
there's only there's only is really a problem if you're using
the webmail interface, which most people do, I think, I think
a majority, most convenient, it is convenient. If you if you
look at the top there, you'll see that Google is accepting
money to promote other emails. Now, they're not may not
necessarily be emails, but they are listed in an email box at
the top of your promotions tab. And they're accepting money from
people to be listed there. And I find that to be the real the
real offense here.
Yeah, no, this is an extortion racket. That essentially saying
to you, you normal users of MailChimp or whatever mailing
service you want to use. Well, you know, yeah, you probably be
drawn to junk mail, you know, for a few pennies. You know,
it's possible that we can maybe avoid that situation. This is
it's very, it's such it's very, it's very much like Facebook.
Now Facebook is not, you know, an email system. So I don't care
what kind of racket they're running. But if you want to make
sure that everyone who follows you on Facebook actually sees
your update, then you have to purchase for $4 of promoted
post. And otherwise, you know, they determined they just came
out with a whole new thing about their metric that you know how
they determine what you're going to see. It's not who you follow,
not who you want to see, it's what they think that you're
wanting to see. And if you want to really promote so have
their nerve, if I'm following, you know, following it for a
reason.
Do people even know this? Do they even understand this is
going on? But
not if people don't seem to understand that it's going on? I
have the I hear that because I didn't hear from you. I must
have missed it.
I love people to try invite me to things through Facebook like
that this invite thing, you know, somewhere in between
50,000 Other scam invites, I'm going to fish yours out of it
and actually going to I'm going to use it. Let me see if I can
find this i Oh, here it
is. I've always wondered why anyone even uses these invite
flees sub systems, but just invite somebody,
I just call them up here.
Call them up when
we're cooking, news feed FYI showing more high quality
content. Every day, people see content from millions of pages
on Facebook in their news feeds. Our goal is to show the right
content to the right people at the right time. So they don't
miss the stories that are important to them. As part of
what we want to make sure that the best quality content being
produced surfaced and shared. Our latest update to the
newsfeed ranking algorithm helps ensure that the organic content
people see from pages they are connected to he's the most
interesting to them. Yeah, where's my hooker pages? I don't
see any of that. So how do we find highly effective content?
How do we find highly quality high quality content? Well,
while the goal of newsfeed is to show high quality posts to
people, we wanted to do better to understand what high quality
means
to do in a way, stop, stop. Start reading in that slightly
surfer voice that you do is really exciting, exciting. And
when I really like okay,
well the goal was newsfeed is to show high quality posts to
people, we wanted to better understand what high quality
means like that. To do this, we decided to develop a new
algorithm to factor in the newsfeeds to develop it we first
survey 1000s of people to understand what factors make
make posts from pages high quality, something like that I
can't read some of the questions we asked included. Is this
timely and relevant content? Is this content from a source you
would trust? Would you share with friends recommended to
others? Is that content genuinely interesting to you? Or
is it going to try to game the newsfeed distribution? Oh,
people are gaming it ie asking for people to like the content?
Yes. Like Like, like,
that's what everyone does, please.
Just pop ups.
The whole idea is to game the news feed. Me. So you know,
that's fine. Whatever Facebook does, it's it's their own
business. And if you're sucked into that Mimi, then it's fine.
Mickey. You really think people are seeing what you're posting.
But for it to be a part of email where you know, that's the
racket and you're right. I'm sure that eventually, you know,
people who wind up in that box are gonna give you a return
email that says, Hey, would you like to not be listed in the
promotions tab? It seems that would be the logical way to
fulfill the scam. Yeah. Anyway, it is hurting our business. A
lot of people did hear our call on Thursday. That's, that's
nice. We understood that. We were getting being hurt by this.
But I don't think it's really the
low response rate on this last Saturday newsletter, meaning
that most people didn't get it again. Now some people there's
some apparently if it goes through, if you get through off
your phone or something, it doesn't send back a
notification. So those numbers are no more people that use
phone to retrieve their email and more. But the more skewed
the number becomes, but that's not the problem. Okay? Because
it didn't that didn't change overnight, right? It's like one
day, everybody decided to pick up their email on the phone. No.
Right now, they've changed their filters on all these things. So
every day, we're not the only guys that are having this
problem. I'm absolutely sure of it. Everybody who's trying to do
a newsletter and using the public internet to send email is
being screwed by these free email services from these
companies who are just looking for some other way to make more
money.
Very encouraging, though, as the amount of emails I've received
from people saying, hey, you know what, I loaded up Linux on
this old piece of crap laptop I got laying around and I think I
figured it out and I'm able to send and receive email if you
receive this then I was able to send some people and I had no
idea what I'm doing. I'm just following the directions that
are out there. Other people are going to I think colabs is when
you know there are other other places where you can go but
eventually you're still kind of stuck there with a man in the
middle and lots of people going to big message I'm getting a lot
of a lot of stuff through big message which And arguably is no
one can wait. It's the weirdest but it works. You know, people
can actually get a message to me. And I couldn't get a message
back to them. It's it's a I kind of like it I think this whole
you know, BitTorrent kind of central decentralized thing is
good. I think we're gonna see more of that.
Yeah, but it's not this not for the general.
Maybe you say that but what I mean that's why why not? I mean,
why do I say that? Yeah. Why do you say if it looks like email
if it smells like email and the only thing is you have a
different email a different address? What difference does it
make?
I think people just can't deal with anything more complex, but
you hold the human race in such high regard. What What's that?
It's for VO for vo Yeah, yeah we use it. No, what
is for VO
for Vo is the all the words in the world pronounced. So I was
just looking at our spreadsheet for because we have a lot of we
actually got a lot of
responses or what is for vo what does it do? It you
push a button and it pronounces any word you type in that I can
use this now to pronounce all these crazy Dutch names.
Right. Okay. Yeah.
So I want to thank this you want to thanks for us.
Sorry. That's my that's my back it talks well in the morning to
you, Jon Studer
to you in the morning to you Adam curry in the morning OSHA.
See boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water. And
all the days and nights out there and barons and baronesses
and dukes Yes. And in
the morning to all of our human resources in the chat room. No
dinner. stream.com nogen chat.net in the morning. That's
right. That is Doug joining the show. Yeah, I don't know what
four Vo is. But I got Doug for vo Yeah. Oh, and thank you to
our artists Thorin came in for episode 541 with a great, great
piece of album art. No agenda art generator.com. Is not was
that an evergreen we use from Thorne? I can't remember.
Because we had a hard time I think out of I'm doing it. Yeah,
let me see. I think we had thing was tough. Coming up with
something and we use the one of Thorens evergreens. Yeah, we use
them the Mac of the macaroni and cheese one. So let's see what
everyone comes up with today. 4542 norgine. Art generally
we we keep saying we're going to discuss a little bit about the
art for the artists, a couple of things they need to know. One,
do not all by the way, I also want to thank Patrick bleach,
who are you to pronounce that I'm not going to go to for a
vote for it. For the for the art that went into the newsletter,
because I use a separate piece in the newsletter. And this is
the one with the with the SWAT team on top of segways I thought
was just funny piece Anyway, do not put the show number in the
art people. And because we will go back and pull out a piece of
artwork, it's gotta show number and then it's we can't use it
ever again. So that you if you don't hit the home run on that
one show, you're never going to have a follow up. The other
thing you should note is that if you're going to put type in
there, you have to look at the no agenda show.com website and
the size of the art that Adam uses. He doesn't I use bigger
pieces I use 400 pixel wide, which makes it more legible. But
Adam uses like 200 or two?
Well, no, I literally shrink it down by 50%. And we in the
shownotes we always have the full size art. And then we also
and then you know but for the for the blog post and on the on
no agenda show.com as well as the art itself for the mp3 where
we also put the art and one of the few shows that does that it
shrinks down. So you don't want to have type font that's so
small, you can't read it when it's downsized by 50%.
Right. So you have to you know, so don't use like, don't use
don't design for the full size design for half the size. Right.
And was there anything else that we had they were complaining to
each other about?
No, but I'm glad you all Yeah, we also
know that people are trying to guess what the show's gonna be?
Well, no, the guessing is okay. But But please, they hit it
original art Don't you know, taking something from somewhere
else? And like, that'll be great. No, that's not great.
Because you're stealing someone else's stuff we want. We want
original editing you
Yeah, we had that. Let's see which we had the one with the I
think there was an evergreen with it with a first it was a
statute here it is. It's Patrick again. Which I assume you did
similar thing with those guys on this on the SWAT team, but he
it's what we do. Here's what we do. We take if it looks like you
didn't do this art because it's way too.
Yeah, we like we Everything actually we're like, Okay, this
looks too good. When we
put in the Google image search as a as an image, and what you
can do with a little camera, you click on the camera, then you
can upload an image. And then Google looks around to see what
other copies are out there on the internet. And you see all
the copies. And it's like, oh, well, there's a million of these
out there. Somebody did this someplace else. So if it's not,
if you haven't changed it enough, it will be.
I mean, yeah, we can. parody is always good, obviously. But
legal, it's legal to take a artwork and make fun of it. And
is now a different copyright. But generally speaking, most
people don't know how to do that. Right. But yeah, so we,
but we really appreciate this art coming in. And some of the
stuff is really good. Onward. I personally don't think guessing
what the show is going to be busking help, because we
actually lost. We're going to talk about the dog.
Wait, before we do anything, I have a clip about the dog, so we
can still talk about the dog. How does that so here is CNN the
President did 45 minutes with CNN for Well, I think for a
number of reasons. And I pulled this one, but it
was getting lonely because the two other puppies have grown up.
And they still have some responsibilities for him. But
they're not always around with between school sports practice,
and all that stuff. And so Bo was starting to look a little
little down in the dumps. Yeah,
now, but we actually know what's going on with this. Right?
Because what's happening is they switch to the other Obama and Bo
is growling at this one. So it looks really bad. Is that what
you were gonna say?
Yeah, obviously, the dog is not getting along with the second
Obama. He's growling and barking and howling when he was
otherwise maybe he's even sniffing a mound of earth for
like, where's the Boston I think down in the freezer down there
under the White House.
The freezer space was tied down in the freezer, someone's
dad, something's going on with that freezer, they
had to get a second dog. Now I put this in the newsletter on
last Thursday. Knowing that I would say I'd say anyone who's
listened to the show for more than a year understands. Already
got that or already figured this out. They said I know what
they're gonna say. But that's the only thing I
can that we forgot. Then we then we forgot to mention.
Art came in for the dog. Well, you know what, you can't blame
him for guessing because I said in the newsletter, that's what
we're going to talk about. So it's very unfair to the artists
from for us not to do it. Because we teased it.
So it's our fault. Mia culpa.
But most of the time, there's they're just guessing out of the
blue.
Yeah. Did you hear this whole thing? The President talked
about the dog because it was it was actually pretty funny in
this in this particular bit. I mean, you know, the world is
coming to an end pretty much financially. There's all these
things happening. And we're, you know, he's contemplating
invading another country. But you know, we got time to talk
about the dog
inside the house and Sunday, the new dog, she's, she's only a
year old. And the truth is, she's faster than he is she
jumps higher. She's riskier and
every man has to learn that he is trying, he said something
where every man has to learn his dog is that what he said? was
kind of weird.
Let's play it back. And you said thank you since that Mesa, some
slight differences every man has, I thought every man
has to learn his dog. You're and every man has to learn that he
is every man has to learn the what? I don't know.
Maybe it's been just a sexist thing, because one's a girl dog
to keep
up, but I think that ultimately, it's gonna, you know, he's
loving it. And ultimately, I think it's gonna be he
is talking a lot about the old dogs like they he loves dogs.
not that old. Three, I think he's like that, but he just
wants that dog to stop nipping at his heels imagine they're
gonna see the difference. That's great for our book. Alright,
let's thank some producers. Thank goodness. We have our a
lot of our existing knights barons dame's baronet's
baronesses, all coming in who hear the call and have an
definitely even the noun for the week. But I see what you're
saying that
we have a lot of Yeah. And of course, David Foley, the Earl of
Silicon Valley who's decided to adopt us carry the show. Yeah,
he's 608 99 in the morning Bartle. And James from the Earl
of Silicon Valley. This is 542 plus 6666 for the sixth
anniversary plus 33 cents for the mac and cheese Fund. And by
the way, the mac and cheese dinner is 39 cents is
that cheap now is that is that The photos where's this
available this
Grocery Outlet Grocery Outlet so it is referred to as gross out
39 cents and Is it is it a dinner? Is it for two says
dinner? No, it must be for two mac
and cheese dinner and there's no cheese and there's just powdered
crap, which is really the absolute creme de la creme of
the idea. Take it to the max. Some powdered goo that you mix
with water and then you get heated with the macaroni.
Oh, you still have to provide your own your own macaroni, you
have to have a burner. five by five barrel Fire, barrel sterno
sterno it's some sort of cheap thing to heat it. Although I'm
guessing his stuff and you soak the macaroni long enough at room
temperature would soften. I think
you can use your crack pipe burner that should probably
work. That's gonna be great. Wow. Well, thank you very much
Earl of Silicon Valley. It is love you also, of course,
besides being one of our executive producers today also
received the rare the honor of being the sole member of the 542
Club. And and your support is highly highly, highly
appreciated. Tell us what do you know what he does? I mean, he's
got bank are served David. He runs
hyperaware. It's a company in value. What do they do? Well,
let's look it up and find out. He never really brags about it.
Well, we can brag for him hyper aware. It's hyper aware
technologies isn't Yeah,
hyper word technologies.
Is he the CEO?
I'm hyper aware. Probably seems like he is hyper aware
technologies. Okay, I've got a I've got a website. It's a big,
it's not just a website with just a page, just their logo.
I put this CIA, okay, we got that figured out. Okay, why only
the CIA is giving us money. It's about tireless support we give
them
let me tell you this. Actually, we had some bad news about that.
Yeah, what? We bring up the email, I got an email from one
of our guys. And we are on the agency block list. No agenda
nation.com. No agenda show.com are both being blocked. Yeah.
And this is the company that manages these networks inside
the agency. It's Eagle Alliance. It's a joint venture of computer
science Corporation in north of Grumman. And they're the ones
that that have the manage the block list. So they've put us on
the block list. Now the good news is, both curry.com and
dvorak.org are unblocked. And the stream is also unblocked. So
they can still they can still
sell straight. Northrop Grumman. Yes. Has Blizzard part of this
deal? Yes. Is it that the company owned by EA Ds are
they're affiliated with the European Airbus Group? Yes, yes.
They're not even Americans. No. So in other words, a company
affiliated with overseas ventures censoring us is
censoring us to Americans trying to discuss these these issues
with Americans.
Let me let me double check. I'm just gonna look at Northrop
Grumman, our heritage global blah, blah. We say where they're
from.
No, no, there. There are old stereo old goals, famous
company, Northrop in particular. And they were, as far as I know,
they were bought by EA DS or something like they would look
up the Wikipedia. Yeah. Northrop wiki Northrop Grumman, okay,
that's an American global aerospace aerospace company. You
may be wrong here.
I might be there in New York. So there's no C is there?
No, no, they seem to be legit. Okay, well, then it's all right.
I guess.
It's not all right. If you're American,
go ahead and block us. There's some
arrangement they've got with the the other side. I'm not so sure.
Why did they get the watch being an information technology there
to this point where they're doing blacklisting?
Yeah. Well, because we're trying to have an idea.
Okay, they're not they're not owned by EA DS. But let's just
say they stink to company that stinks. I think
I think the drone talk that we do may have something to do with
the drone may occur the drone guys, yeah. All right. Fine, but
it doesn't matter. Because, you know, how silly is it that we
have 700 domain names that you can potentially get the show
through, and particularly korea.com and divorce.org. I
mean, that's that site is malware. I mean, you know,
should be touching that website. So Okay, we're good. But anyway,
we're very happy, those of you with the agencies who are
listening and you take that I'm to circumvent the Northrop's
systems in the morning to you and thank you for joining us.

Ladies and gentlemen, that is karma. That's production
quality. Right there. That's amazing. We could do this show
what you're paying for William wide $333 in Pleasant Hill,
California. I don't have a note from him that I know of me
neither Saab Swiss. And birch pecan Suisse. Sort of 15 2050
bucks. He's an Associate Executive Producer within less
than a year I got addicted to the no agenda show and listen to
it carefully. So I won't listen to much of it during a day
because it has to last until the next show is available. I like
it, because it's informative and funny at the same time, and I
appreciate that you both are very honest. That means you have
the courage to show emotions. And you call bull crap bull crap
and idiots, idiots, which is very refreshing. This is the
reason I decided to become an executive producer of the show.
And also because I can't forget the call for Swiss money Adam
did on the show in June or July of this year. I remember it each
time I listened to the show. Well done, Adam, please send
some karma to my friends of the scurry star AIR BRIGADE. I'm
sure the karma will get to the place. It's needed most. Thanks
a lot. And please continue with your excellent work. PS. Please
call me by my gamer name, sob Suisse. Which is my virtual

Thank you very much. And yes, thank you for listening. Oh, and
here's this guy's cool reading. I think he's he I think he's

Alright. So now I gotta find another note that a pile of
which is kind of problematic. This is a note from Ron Boyd in
Ontario, California. JCD has note here it is. This is written
in, in lung and not longhand, and just
block block letters. Is it new newsprint cut out and pasted?
That'd be cool. Yeah. Greetings from ontario california also
known as on terrible place for many of us do like to do
material on the show. Face for many of us merely aspire to live
the American dream of just getting along.
That's not quite right. No, but it's a
terrible joke. Is it on? terrible joke? Yeah, I got too
long ago, I encountered a sudden and pleasing need to repurpose
my life. One of the new skills I have been trying to acquire is
developing mobile applications. Yay, wants to build it in a no
agenda application, see if it can make some money for the
show. On the end, I built a no agenda karma generator. Since
it's no longer practical for every producer to get a Karma
jingle. I thought it would be fun if they could make their own
to share with friends and family. The Norwegian karma app
is currently an iOS universal application with the iPad
version being the most elaborate. So this already
exists. I guess. He's gonna work on the Android cool, so it's a
karmic, I'm gonna look for it right now. Yeah, he says it's
outstanding. He says himself. Well hello. By the way, the
whole art gallery theme is a bit of an homage to miss Mickey. I
know almost nothing about her but some where I found a photo
album or for gallery openings. Or I guess he's got her photos
there. Yeah. Having been a boner for so long. It's only proper
that I pay my dues and show my appreciation for all the work
you guys do. Here's some money. That on Ron Boyd.
Thank you very much, Ron. And I'll check I'm trying to find
the karma app is there's a lot of apps called karma.
In the App Store. That's a problem. Yeah, you have to come
spelling courses or mail me so I can put a link in
misspellings useful. Chris spear is doing it 20 July was in
Austin, Texas. Hi, John. And Adam has more value for value

Sean Aloka In mannequin Sabet, Virginia, you ever been there?
No donor bucks. Hi crackpot buzzkill this for Sunday show
I'm sorry for using Pay Pal but I can't get a check to you in
time I became a devoted listener two months ago and love the
show. I don't know how long it takes a regular to become a
douche. But I wanted to donate to avoid it completely. Not sure
how much I can write here with follow up in an email to John,
thanks for a great show. Well pronounced locka
regardless of what? Regardless, you're getting a D douching.
Today. You've been de doop, thank you very much. That
puts it puts a douche. Plus because if he'd never gotten
douche sneaky, so he's actually he owes us a douche.
You should be a little douche here.
Yeah, it's all free now, at least for a while. All right, I
want to thank all these people and a lot for picking up the
slack from last Thursday, which was really pretty bad. With one
producer, want to remind people to go to the challenge of
org.com/n a direct.org/n a no agenda show.com Even though it's
blocked by Grumman, those bastards. And also the notion a
nation.com There's a Donate button, you can click on there
and find an alternate page for donating.
But also want to thank our producer Brian, who made a whole
post about how to figure out the troublesome Gmail promotions
trap. You'll find that of course in our PR section in the show
notes it's 542 dot any shownotes.com along with a link
that I've brought back for the Red Book rd bk.net He's done
pretty well, our producer here who was he's now taken most of
the predictions from the Red Book and put them into the site.
Oh, and so for instance,
I get it rd VK reg book Yeah, so
for instance, we have Bill Clinton dies in the saddle
that's that's right there. Wiener adds the Clinton body
count. I mean, he's listening to the show. He's putting it in
there I'm liking it.
Somebody's might as well do it because no one's gonna believe
us. We're so it's too incredible to believe
exactly. So you'll find
that is a prediction, official prediction, that's actually a
fine tuning of the other prediction, which is fine
discounts.
And again, thank you very much to our executive producers and
Associate Executive Producers it works just like Hollywood, these
are actual credits. You can use them anywhere where credits are
valid, but a lot of people seem to find great value by using
them on their LinkedIn profile for some reason it seems to get
a lot of a lot of attention so it could get you jobs whatever
you want it for if you just want to just carry it in your mind
that's fine too. We appreciate it
and a lot of guys a pickup line in a bar
how would it work John? I'll pretend to be
a Hey sweetie. Yes So did you know I'm a no agenda producer?
Wow no agenda? What's that? Oh,

LinkedIn profile guaranteed to work please remember us
florek.org/n A and of course you can always do the exact opposite
which is go out and propagate our formula our formula is this
we go out we hit people in the mouth
squirrel kind of excited John kind of kind of excited for some
well for some reason. I don't know maybe I don't know why the
spokes holes in the White House in the State Department why they
took this you know these two weeks off? I thought everyone
was done they would vacation. Well, we had all these you know
standards. Did you notice that? Yeah. And we had so Miss. Saki
was not was not?
That's a shame. I think she's having probably having a heart
transplant.
Well, I'm kind of happy with Marie Harf. Who they brought in
now are efficient ha ha AR F Yes.
Yes. Now there's a reason for this because Benghazi something
happened here Benghazi is back. Back in the news. Here is the
kind of the quick quickie little headline says confirm
that Secretary of State John Kerry has cleared for State
Department employees who were punished after last year's
attack on the US diplomatic posts in Benghazi, Libya. The
foreign mission, the four officials rather had been placed
on administrative leave by then Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton ambassador, Chris Stevens and three The other
Americans were killed in the Gaza attack.
Oh, I'm sorry, John, what are you saying?
With with full pay?
Right? So well, so they suspended them with full pay,
and they just switched jobs. We already had figured that one
out. But now they're back. And, and this is, of course, you
know, is well, there's reason to question this. Now. Matt was
also on vacation. So we had some other actors in the in the State
Department briefing, kind of shredding apart the same way.
What, Matt,
Matt was on vacation and I think he's Reuters guy. Yeah, the
Reuters Guy, Matt.
And you don't think it's a coincidence that he went off
with Misaki? Quark?
Okay. Marie
Marie is just one way to shut her up, Marie.
Formerly was a spokes hole for the CIA. Oh, great. So she's not
used to what goes on in this particular briefing
room know that Secretary Kerry upon assuming office in
February, launched this internal review of the AR B's findings.
That disclosure in turn raises a number of questions which I'd
like to go through with you in turn number one who led this
review.
First, I not would like to clarify exactly what that
statement means.
You actually you kind of have I like to clarify what that
statement means. You have to squeaky voice have to get a
picture of her because she has. Okay, what's
your first name Marie Marie Harf, Jr, Shara.
And you'll see that she looks just like a Saturday Night Live
skit. And oh, God. You look at you're watching this video.
You're like, This can't be true. This this is this is the onion.
This is this is not really a State Department briefing, but
it was
Secretary Clinton obviously, was the secretary when these four
were put on administrative leave. When Secretary Kerry came
into office here, he basically picked up the ball it was a
continuation of that review that had already been started. He
wanted to take the time to get all the facts himself. He wanted
to take the time with his senior team to sit down and go over the
air these findings in great depth and look into the
situation of the sport and their career.
And them you know, he wanted to be famous it was dream came
true. Yeah, stop right there. Stop right there. This is where
it gets fun listen to her freaking
statement said that he launched this upon assuming office. Now
you're telling me there was an ongoing internal review of ARB
that Secretary Clinton transferred.
I think you're using the term review. Specifically, what we
think Wait, let me finish your statement. Okay. Can I finish
please? Thank you.
Can I finish please? Thank you. Ah, I mean, can you believe this
is the the basically the Foreign Services Department of the
United States of America.
Who are the world's biggest or most powerful country what are
what is going on this
is this is sad at least me a Russia has gotten lab raw for at
least the guy looks the part. This she's
well, I'm looking at this woman. So I did a little back check.
And she actually has been dumbed down. Apparently some years ago
with an implanted chip. She was a ginger. Oh, no,
she was ginger.
Yeah, I got a picture right here.
No, yes. Oh my goodness. I didn't know this. Let me check
right now this is this is big news. Yeah. So she had no soul
that they implant a soul.
Opposition and did this work on her on a on her voice?
I think she was more strawberry blonde to be quite honest. But
doesn't she look like that?
That picture I've got she's just not strawberry blonde. Maybe it
is but depends on your definition. No, no.
Let's just call her ginger. Screw it. Ginger.
She has. She looks better. With the darker hair. She looks kind
of like a dingbat with the blonde hair. She's just doesn't
carry it.
I love the glasses and everything. She's got
an attempt to make her look like a smart blonde. If you ever
watched the Larry David show, there's just actually buzzkill
Jr. and I discussed this commonly because you can
actually see it on the on the media. Larry David has this
black sidekick in the throughout the show, especially later
shows. And he comes up with this thesis that if you're black and
you, you automatically are thought of as extremely
intelligent black person if you wear glasses. And so you'll see
this on TV, where there'll be some interlac guy wearing
glasses and you will and he's actually correct you actually
you up your your opinion of the of the black man wearing
glasses. Interesting. Yeah. And so I'm thinking that this, this
woman here, Hartford, she probably well, you
really see the whole the whole sequence of her coming on stage
and everything. You're walking up to the podium. She's
incredibly insecure. She's very worried. So I wouldn't it
wouldn't surprise me if these are non prescription just, you
know, hipster glasses. It's the one with the mustache attach,
I'll be even funnier. Let's listen to this.
I think we made it very clear when more people were put on
administrative leave that there was a review process into them
that was ongoing. Just
listen to how she explains this. It's it's really quite
disturbing me,
obviously. So that process was ongoing before Secretary Kerry
got here that's been well documented publicly. Point be is
that when Secretary Kerry took office, he wanted to make sure
that he himself and his senior team
himself and my and him and all those people in the senior team
him
did a thorough investigation to what had happened picking up on
the work Secretary Clinton had already done, but obviously he
would be the one making the decision. So he wanted to make
sure he was acquainted with all the facts. And they looked into
all of the things that might go into a decision surrounding
these four. Okay.
Now this, she's talking out of the sight of her but I mean,
it's really this is really poor. For someone who was a
spokesperson for the CIA. She's doing a bad job.
What was the actual scope of this review by Secretary Kerry?
Was it just with respect to these four individuals, or was
he reviewing the entire findings of ARB?
Again, I think you're using the term review in a way that I'm
not using it.
Well, it's you're using the term review in the way that I'm not
using it, which is unfair.
When I say review, he wanted to make sure he was well acquainted
with all of the facts. He wanted to dive deeply into all of the
issues involved with the ARB, which obviously, now fell under
his purview to make decisions. So
the problem is she messed it up because the ARB stands for
Accountability Review Board
Review Board, but not only that, but her description of what he's
doing is a
review. But now listen to what she says about the reason why
these people were reinstated.
Like he was making a judgment on the ARB. That's not at all what
I'm insinuating that he was himself looking at the IRB
diving into the details and also gathering other facts that may
go into his eventual decision about these four,
you just stated earlier in response to another question
from one of my colleagues that he did engage in, quote,
additional fact finding. What did that entail? Were documents
reviewed? Were new depositions taken? What kinds of stocks All
right, what could it be job? What kind of fact finding one on
here what what kind of extra information? Do you feel even
measure the size of the pages that were printed? Use the
closer and closer learning
mission are we talking about? Well, I
think most specifically, what I'm referring to is that we took
he and the team took a look at the totality of the careers that
these four individuals have had at the State Department again,
they've served honorably, ahead of distinguished records. And
and all of that one has to be taken into account when quite
frankly, are making decisions about real people and their
careers. He wanted to not only look at the ARB.
No, these are real people with real careers, you know, we can't
just have them like being hurt. Unlike the four people who were
killed that's just that is just insane to talk like that.
Well, she's gonna be that'll be her last press conference.
Although over on NPR, it was it was very, very funny as the you
know, they're they're trying to talk around something happened
basically on NPR regarding Chris Stevens, the ambassador of
Benghazi, who was slaughtered
Michael rights if an openly gay man Chris Stevens can be
appointed ambassador and of course he was ambassador to
Libyan was tragically killed. Me I don't I don't believe he was
openly
gay. Oh, oh, you just outed the dead man. You just do that. I
don't know what this this is. This is what Michael writes. I
didn't write the ambassador's let's say that. Yeah. Okay.
So we didn't really say, we never knew this was news to us.
I thought he was I thought it was quite well known that he was
gay. I didn't know.
We never brought it up on the show. Yeah, no, of course, we've
brought it up on the show. Well, I don't remember bring it up on
the show. Because it just seems to me that having a gay
ambassador in a Muslim country not a sketchy decision now.
That's why we brought it up. I know we discussed this. Oh,
maybe. But there's still difference between being gay and
openly gay and then to be outed on NPR when you're dead.
Openly Yeah. What is openly gay mean?
means that you that you're gay is what it means. Yeah, that
you're out on Facebook. That you're on Facebook.
Right. If it doesn't have anything to do with Facebook,
it's not
it's not they're not open. Then it didn't happen Facebook. The
guest yesterday or today I think in in Gitmo lowlands. They did a
to Russia. With love Gay Pride protest.
I don't have enough on this thing. I'm sorry. You're not
given up on this. Oh, but also
it's so wrong you know that just and all the presses? It's yeah,
they have a concert actually, I'm saying I hope
that the or CD people that do the no agenda CD, pull that
stuff that thing you that letter that you read from the gay guy
trying to prove you are wrong about the analysis of the
Russian laws. Yeah. Because it's ludicrous that this is
continuing. We're not going to change anything, honestly.
No, but they have entire concerts. The mayor is coming to
speak and it's called to Russia with love. And it's, you know,
it's protesting the horrible anti gay laws in Russia, which
is just not true.
Yeah, and there's
there's also a gala.
It's gonna be a gay live. Yes.
A big gala. Nice.
All right. So you humiliate this poor woman, Marie Harf.
Yeah. And who are you going to humiliate today, John, it is
Sunday after it
on the list of fortune for out and out humiliation. I do have a
couple of Well, here's Well, let's see. Let's start with Amy
Goodman.
Oh, please. Yes. And that she's She is the for those of you who
are new to the program from other countries. She is hoity
toity Amy Goodman, she's from democracy now can do no wrong.
can do no wrong. Because let's face it is Democracy Now.
So she has she is beside herself with this particular situation.
Some Joker, one of the producers put her in. She's got an intern.
She's interviewing two people about Chelsea and Chelsea
Manning or Chelsea. Chelsea Manning. Yeah. Okay. And so
she's got a one of the two is a gay male who's had the sex
change, and he's now a female. But he's become a lesbian. And
the other one is, and the on the other side is a female who has
turned into a male. And he seems to be gay. Okay. So we have a
incredible mixture of just like, What is going on sexually with
these two? And why me, Amy, why am I having to deal with this.
And the funny thing is, is that she could not shut herself up to
just these two people as spokespeople, by the way, we're
fine. If you just ask them simple questions, and they will,
who cares whether they're male or female, sex change, or
otherwise, they had good material to present. But no, and
she had to mess it up. But she she will handle it. So up, she
was very upset. She could tell she was uncomfortable, which she
shouldn't have been. Because he both people were very, you know,
as,
as professionals, the professionals, they're there for
a message, right? It's got to
think across. But she had to start prying into well, how did
you change? Why did you do that? Why did you have to cut off? And
so she did it with both of them and which, and here's the reason
that I noticed that. So in this manner is that we have done the
show code, taking quotes and stuff from her constantly, where
she will just essentially parrot a story, not ask a single
question that might be in the minds of the viewers. Right now.
The she did leave out the question, which was in my mind
when she started prying about, you know what sexual orientation
that these people have, besides what gender do they have,
because there's a difference between gender and sexual
orientation. So if you're a guy, and you feel you should be a
woman, but you shouldn't be a lesbian. There's a big
difference than a guy who should be a woman. And you know, it's
normal. I don't know that this woman is a lesbian, but she sure
seems like it to me, the guy that became the woman. So let's
go through and I just
kind of just say something you have now thoroughly confused me.
I think I was meant. That was what I was doing. I was getting
into confusion. All right, well,
success.
Let's start with. Let's start with the Amy Goodman, awkward
chat with Lauren is a woman whose name is Laura. And
let's begin with Laura. And so you have known Chelsea when she
was Bradley, talk about how you first got in touch Lauren, and
the relationship that you had online? Well,
she first got in touch with me in February of 2009. After
viewing my videos on YouTube, she contacted me first and we
spoke over AOL instant messenger for a period of several months.
She was mostly interested in my videos about politics, religion,
LGBT issues, and she felt we shared a similar mindset on
these issues. And so we spoke at length about that. She opened up
to me about her history, her dealings with her family, her
troubles in school, and her decision to join the military
and her role as an intelligence analyst. And we spoke at length
about that job and how she enjoyed it and how it was
working out for Her
Lauren McNamara I wanted to turn to excerpts from Instant
Messenger chats between you and Manning from 2009 at the time
you use the internet handles Z j while Manning went by Brad sad
seven Manning writes I'm politically active even more so
after enlisting, living under Don't Ask Don't Tell, we'll
certainly do that you reply. Yeah. I can't say I'd ever
enlist for that reason in particular, elsewhere. Manning
rights. Okay.
It goes back and forth. It doesn't get any further. But by
the way, Lauren videos or you have to it's one of those that
yeah, I might about once or people don't know this, but
about once a week, every couple of weeks. I find one of these.
There's all these women on the internet that make these cheesy
videos,
John sends them to me. I sent
him to him saying there's talent we're missing out. So it's
always done with the cheap webcam and the got your EFC
everyone's seen these things. You got your hat your face into
the camera and you're yakking about stuff. You know, it's a
one man show you don't use yak, yak, yak, yak, yak. Things. And
this is what the kind of idiot this woman did. She was one of
those talking heads that would put the you know, in a dream in
a grim it's always in a grim room. And you know, it's always
slightly out of focus that they're horrible. These videos.
So anyway, so Amy can't take it anymore. So now we have the Amy
asks, transition question to try to get some information from
her.
Can you talk about your own story, Lauren, how you made the
transition?
Yes. I started transitioning. Well, at least in 2011 Okay, so
she so she That's exactly right. Well, this story is about
Bradley Manning. So now because it's a liberal show, they feel
obliged to like half these people. It's like, you shouldn't
eat what do you have the guest on if you're gonna have to
explain them so she hits she's apparently not has standing.
Talking to the only reason I can think John is because it is
meant to distract from what really is going on. Who cares? I
agree with I'm not interested in that. So this is the whole
thing. We didn't even know if Bradley Manning actually said
this.
We have no idea he's been incarcerated. incarcerated. He's
incarcerated. Now issue. He's in the shoe. Now Amy switches over
to talk to this guy Chase. This guy's name is Chase, stretch,
stretch. Jao. Like strange. Oh, okay, Joe. Alright. So change it
to play the Chase Strangio clip and get you this. Now this guy's
got lots of interesting information. I had no idea.
Chase Strangio, your staff attorney with the ACLU. Can you
talk about what Chelsea will now face? I mean, this very serious
issue. Fort Leavenworth is a prison for men. Yeah, and I
think what we learned yesterday from Chelsea was a few very
important things she has asked that she'd be referred to as
Chelsea that we use female pronouns when referring to her.
And she has stated publicly that as part of her treatment for her
diagnosed gender dysphoria, she will be seeking hormone therapy.
And that's what we heard from her yesterday, the army
responded with a statement that they absolutely do not provide
hormone therapy, or sex reassignment surgeries related
to gender.
Why? Why are they doing this? Why are they doing this?
I think they feel obliged to do it. Because we don't understand
how wait times there's gender. Anytime there's gender issues,
these the Liberals could they get all worked up about and know
what to do? We're going to skip the rest of that I want you to
play
I just say something. If I was the producer of this segment
with Chase, stranger, Sanjay. After that, I'd be like, Hey,
could you could you come up? Because you know, after we're
done, did you do a couple jingles for my podcast? It's
kind of a very interesting voice.
He's got a very interesting voice. So it does just so. So
Amy asks Chase, about the term because she wants to know what
the hell he's talking about. Explain what
you mean by gender dysphoria. Gender Dysphoria is a recognized
mental health condition and a serious medical medical
condition. It is in the DSM five it was previously known as
gender identity disorder, or GI can
get recognition for by curiosity, and we have gender
dysphoria
D, which is what the Army referred to it as yesterday. It
is a condition that has clear set of treatment protocols,
including hormone therapy and surgery related to transition in
some cases. These are not experimental treatments. These
are not new treatments. These are vital life saving treatments
for transgender individuals.
This is this is all it is fascinating stuff and it's very
interesting in a different context. We have a guy who was
sent to jail for 35 years for essentially turning us on to the
fact that we have a military industrial complex that is
ruinous the screwing us and is killing people just and laughing
about it. And the whole thing is just insane. And the State
Department is insane. And the whole mechanism is out of its
mind. And this guy is being been thrown in the shoe. And and
somehow it's we cover this up by bringing this up and Amy Goodman
of democracy now and the Public Broadcasting Services television
outfit is complicit in this. This is an outrage.
Exactly. And so what is Amy do to get to the bottom of
everything? She asks she strand Jao for his for his story.
Tell us your story. you're transitioning from woman July.
This is this is in you know, this is really why who cares?
Let me let me let me transition myself here for a second because
this is what we're seeing here is people who are an Amy Goodman
is an Obama bots. No doubt about it. Now there's a difference
between being a Democrat or Republican versus, you know, a
crazy black person hating que que que hood wearing redneck and
an Obama bot. You know, it's all kind of the same, different
sides of the same coin. And Amy Goodman is an Obama bot. And
then we have this is, what's her name on? Eleanor. Eleanor on the
McLaughlin group.
Oh, Eleanor, she's a total Obama. Nicolas. Right. So she's
an Obama bot. And, of course, you know, the whole Snowden
thing and the NSA spying comes up. And if you want to hear and
this is how you can recognize your friends and family by their
Obama botanists on the Obama bot scale. Listen to this answer.
I don't think President Obama wanted to be the Democratic
president that expanded the national security state. And the
various disclosures that have come out since he made those
initial statements in June saying he was okay with the
balance has indicated that the spying, if you will, on
Americans is more widespread than we all initially thought.
And so I think he's he's open to raining this in. Those are all
reasonable steps you outlined. I imagine, you know, Congress is
looking looking at away but I, you know, I still think he's not
not going to back away from basically continuing the
programs that his predecessor put in place because of the
times we live in. And that national security brief, he gets
up every morning, still
able to slip in, it was the previous guy who did it. And
then good work. Now, to be fair on the show, there's also the
complete rippable bot, the Romney bot, maybe we'll call him
Mort Zuckerman, and he brings back or old 50. For me, it used
to be 50, then it was 52. And now it's 54. I
settled in 54 settled into 54,
between privacy and security has been struck. Yes, I certainly do
I actually happen to be in favor of this kind of a program
because I think of what would happen to this country, if we
had a half a dozen terrorist attacks every year. Every year,
he knew all the details of what they do, by and large. Yes, I
think, well, not maybe not everything. Okay. But I think he
knew, based on the reports that he must have been getting just
exactly the number of cases. They were, they estimated that
something like four different terrorist attacks, were in fact
interdicting the knowledge that they gained from this, he had to
be informed on all of that.
Now, can we just explain John about these 54 attack, we have
two or three, we have two examples. And he actually
explained in Congress that these are all bogus, they tend to the
only ones that really took place. In this country, the
Senate by the FBI, or one of them was a, they caught some guy
trying to send some money overseas, there was no plot to
do terrorism. And this was discussed openly in hearings in
Congress, we have the clips. And even before that, we had a
briefing, clip, a clip of a briefing that was done before
the Senate and congressional aides to get them to tell their
bosses about certain things that was like deep background, and
the guy went over the 54. And they were all bogus. There are
no 54 This is nonsense.
So that he goes on and propagates that mean for a
little bit. And then and then just one final little thing and
this is Eleanor is yelling in this clip, listen to what she's
yelling
young people and other people, all of a sudden it looked like
almost a majority are saying, hey, the government's gone too
far. And Brock Obama's politically inclined. So he's
moving and moving and moving. He's been moving. He's gonna
keep the basic program. Maybe he didn't want to know about it. He
constitutional law. All right. I looked this up. What are the
Constitution? A constitutional lawyer, which I think the
President is not because a constitutional lawyer is An
attorney who tries cases. Do we have any case on record that he
has tried? I don't think so. A constitutional lawyer is an
attorney who tries cases where constitutional issues are at
stake. The constitution is considered the supreme law of
the United States, a former federal law thus most cases
based on constitutional questions I tried in the federal
court system. I don't think he will actually have another link.
He
taught constitutional law, supposedly he may have been a
teaching assistant.
But this whole I look, I'm a constitutional lawyer. by those
standards. Yes, yes. Well, here it is. How to Become a
constitutional lawyer. Step one. earn a bachelor's degree in
history. Oh, well, okay. I'm not I guess I'm not political
science or any major involving research and analytical
thinking. An undergraduate degree is required for admission
to law school. I can do this. Yeah, enroll in law school. Law
school is a rigorous three year program where you learn about
constitutional law, contract law, property law, blah, blah,
blah. Step three, apply for constitutional law internships,
I can get an internship on the show.
Yeah.
After your second year of law, constitutional law internships
are quite competitive. So make sure you keep a high grade point
average. That's right. I won't hire myself otherwise, work hard
developing your personal professional networks. take and
pass the bar exam in your state. That's that's the tricky one.
But you know, this whole like he's a constitutional Knight
like
it's not even a member of the bar anymore. So he's not an
ottoman if he was No, him and Michelle both have been kicked
out
of the kicked out that's one well, they didn't renew, they
didn't renew yet is that like a really you have to renew your
you have to do
some process, you just you don't get they don't confer upon you
the ability to practice law in some state, and then you could
just never then move on, move to France and then come back 50
years later, and then try a case. Because
you know, if you get your pilot's license, it's good. It's
in forever. Yeah. Now, you may not be current so you you won't
get insured unless you do a check ride. But that's you just
flies out? Yeah.
Neither one of them are lawyers anymore. He's not a lawyer
anymore. He's the president. But he's not a lawyer anymore. So
he's not a constitutional lawyer. But it also
makes me angry because it's the constitutional the currency
lawyer. Who is, you know, who's
got her voice down? I realized that she sounded like a lawyer
from Long Island.
Yeah, he's the one that keeps saying that protecting the
American people is priority number one. Just not true. Oh,
so I found out a you know, there's been this little few now
this is kind of should almost go into real news. Not quite, but
you want it or not? Yeah, hit it anyway, just for the purpose. We
haven't heard it for a while. And now back to real. Nice. So
Don Lemon has been getting into a beef with Russell Simmons.
Russell Simmons is the the black guy who's like responsive
Russell Simmons was while he was part of Run DMC was he not? Was
he not the he is the the he is.
He's the hip hop, rapper, King. And he's, but he's mostly a
style creates style styles that the blacks Oh, whoo. Let's wear
that. And you know, whatever. Well,
he sells he sells debit cards to people and I think he has.
He's a machine he's a money machine. So he got into a beef
with lemon who called him out for this stupid the this sagging
pants thing. And so what happened was
lemme what are we doing here? What's this better be really
relevant? No, the
only reason I'm playing this clip because there's a piece of
information in this clip that I never knew. And I say, Oh,
that's interesting. That's all you're gonna come away with his
Oh, that's interesting. I didn't know that. But I'm gonna give
the background anyway. Sure. So what triggered this whole thing
was lemon did one of these op eds on the air on the weekends
playing a clip from Bill O'Reilly and saying oh, Riley's
write about this. And it was some critique of the black
community which you know, didn't have standing to do but lemon
gave him standing but seems like Simmons got all bent out of
shape about a saying, Hey guys, a sellout and he's letting the
right wingers push him around. And it goes on and on. So lemon
comes up with this little ditty, which I thought was is
interesting, because it's, it's a I think it's a pretty good
slam. And there's two or three pieces of information I never
actually knew.
You also wrote, young people sagging their pants today is no
different than young people rockin Afro style chic ease or
platform shoes in the 60s and 70s. Russell afros came out of
the struggle, the African American civil rights movement
and are a symbol of the appreciation of black beauty in
the black aesthetic. Shiki is a traditional form of West African
dress which symbolizes This African pride sagen by the way,
Russell, the hip hop community of which you helped establish,
drop the G on the word. So that spelled backwards the word
reads, And I GG. It came from Rikers Island in New York. We're
the largest detention centers in the US. It was originally called
wearing your pants, Riker style. When you went in, you turned in
your belt, your shoelaces, and the only shirt the jail provided
was a white double XL t shirt. Are you equating dressing like a
criminal to African pride? Are you saying it's okay to
perpetuate the negative stereotype of young black men as
convicts, criminals, prisoners? How does that enhance their
lives or society as
a whole? Okay, I'm still going to for this hold. This is a very
polluted it's funny to hear this political correctness coming out
of Don Lemon. Because Elvis Presley, of course, was a part
of the movement that propagated jail in general wearing blue
jeans. Blue jeans was only for prisoners. So you can go and eat
boots and keep them going with this. Wow, Jemaine. What's the
guy Zucker Zucker, who's the guy who's running CNN. Good job,
dude.
Zucker.
Good job. Wow,
that's getting some attention.
Meanwhile, over on, over on the What's that Larry King has his
talk show on this new network.
It's not a talk show. It's a it's a it's a it's a advertorial
isn't. It's just a bunch of advertising stuff.
No, he had. He had Ellsberg on.
But why don't they put King back on CNN. He's much better than
then Piers Morgan, even if he was 90?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't care, actually. Because I
found Larry King. And he's talking to Ellsberg. And
Ellsberg made me do something which I typically don't do. And
I'll
tell you in a minute. Well, I think there's no better way
to know Ellsberg is, of course, the guy who's credible Ellsberg,
the Pentagon Papers, and the Pentagon Papers were, you know,
compared to this really not even that fantastic. You know, it
showed that the government lied, like Lyndon Johnson had already
positioned troops, you know, week before he said that he
discussed it. And you know, these are all minor things
compared to the lies and deceit that the past four presidents in
my lifetime have committed. So it's really, really minor. And
then he gave it to the New York Times, and it was basically an
internal review. So it wasn't really you know, if you just
took some papers that already existed that said,
you know, that he's largely responsible for writing. Yeah,
well,
no, did he? I'm not so sure he Rue was the lead on that. Oh,
he's one of them. Right. But but it was never the case. It
was it was it was a report. Yeah, it was a report that was
written inside the Pentagon. And so that got leaked, and you
know, then nothing really happened. Except Oh, boy. Oh,
well, I guess that was the chink in the armor. But anyway, so
he's heralded as you know, as a hero, which, yeah, I think that
Bradley Manning could be one. And if he's, if he's real, and
if Snowden is real, and yeah, because they're exposing lies
and deceit. And so here he is telling us where to find out
more about what's really going
on Americans to have a real sense of where we've arrived.
And to do what I did a few weeks ago, which was to re rent the
movie enemy of the state, from 1998, I'm in that moment, you'll
remember that you're in it. On the end of the movie, that's
right, the very end of the movie after my bang five actors,
during which an innocent person Will Smith has been pursued by
all the technical surveillance capability of the NSA, which by
the way,
now, this is interesting. Two things one, Agent Orange, and
several other handlers of mine have suggested exactly this. If
you and this is, you know, this is movies, what 15 years old,
like are you gotta watch that movie again? Because then you
know, kind of, you know, what, what's really going on? What we
what, what is really happening and what is possible. And do you
know that this movie is not available on Netflix? Nor is it
available on Amazon for rent? A streaming, you have to
physically buy a copy?
I did not know that.
And you know who, who directed this movie?
Well, as a matter of fact, Tony Scott who
committed suicide just a year or so ago, right? Remember, that
was really weird. And he jumped off the bridge and they said he
had brain cancer, but his family was like, No, he didn't have any
cancer. Now, there's no I got nowhere to go down that rabbit
hole, but it is kind of coincidental. Yeah. Interesting.
Coincidence. So now here's Ellsberg talking about the about
the movie and how that relates to our life today,
well ahead of its time, but which it definitely has it now.
It's a very realistic movie right now I'd like to see it
reissued. have every American see it. But after he's been
pursued by all this innocently by some actual rogue NSA
National Security Agency factions, at the end, they have
you on on the screen saying, Where do you ask him the
question? Where do you draw the line between the gathering of
intelligence that the government has to have, and the protection
of civil liberties, particularly the sanctity of the home, and
you end with a kind of heartfelt cry, you have no right to enter
my home, come into my home, right. But as you know, I'm sure
they're in your home right now, Larry, and mine. If you have an
iPhone in your pocket, I don't know if you have it right now in
your kitchen or your bedroom, you're charging in the bedroom
at night, as I do. The NSA, the National Security Agency, can
store record and store all of your conversation. Any of your
more generally, if you have a computer in your home, your
tweets, your email, your purchases over online, your
Google searches, all of that, including your iPhone, or
smartphone as a GPS, all of your movements is all on record to be
retrieved at will. When the President says we don't listen
to your calls, sort of has his fingers crossed. It's true. They
don't listen in real time, that would take a half the population
of the United States listening and every two people who were
online together, what they do is TiVo it, they have it on file.
And they can they have your entire digital record at any
time. Now, that's the infrastructure of a police
state. We don't have a police state, are you and I wouldn't I
wouldn't be talking to you right now. But they could turn this
into a police state overnight.
I really liked what he said there. I think that was
Yeah, was was that he didn't say anything that we had.
No, no, no, of course, we in fact, this is exactly when this
was started. We and I think you were the one that had the whole
analysis about how they're just recording everything. By the
way. Larry King was confused. A he was not a an enemy of the
state. He was in Enema of the State, which was a porn that he
just didn't know. He was confused about that.
That's what was that that was bad. Yeah, that was really bad
could have done better. I don't give you this.
Here's Ellsberg wrapping
it up. What it does do is to put into the hands of the executive
branch, the ability to blackmail every person in the country, and
more and turn them into informants as this was done by
the study. And
that's the lesson. So I had so I've torrented this movie, of
course, I'm going to watch it again. Because if I recall
correctly, it pretty much predicts the whole Snowden
affair it is art imitating life in advance. For life imitating
art or art imitating life God knows it's, it's exactly what's
happening now.
Well, I'll tell you, we're gonna go to the years, we had that guy
wrap up for last show. I do have a clip that was one of the was
involved in the in that back and forth between him and the, this
this podcast, but just just as a background of play this little
clip, and then I want to mention something NSA gets more money
play that. Yeah,
I know exactly where you're going with this. I like it in
April, as part of its 2014 budget request to Pentagon which
rules the NSA asked Congress for $4.7 billion for increased
cyberspace operations, nearly 1 billion more than the 2013
allocation at the same time, budgets for the CIA and other
intelligence agencies. were cut. Right? This is the whole this is
the crux of the problem.
This is the crux of the problem. And let's say that the NSA has
been really doing a good job of because they tell Oh, we don't
need all these field people we don't need, you know, the NSA is
the one who caused the 911 if you're gonna if you're gonna
boil it down, because if you remember right after 911, all
these guys all these second guessers, all these armchair
quarterbacks are going on. Oh, the CIA hasn't even got anyone
who speaks Arabic. They haven't got any translators. They
haven't got anybody in the field. They haven't had an agent
in Syria or Iraq and organize.
Can I interject just as 130 seconds, then? Well, because you
bring this up. Here's Robert Mueller, who is doing exit
interviews now, apparently, with CNN, specifically about this
topic.
If we had the kind of intelligence that we were
collecting through the NSA before September 11, the kind of
intelligence collection that we have now, do you think 911 would
have been prevented?
I think there's a good chance that we would have prevented at
least a part of 911. In other words, there were four planes or
almost 2019 persons involved, but I think we would have a much
better chance of identifying those individuals who are
contemplating that attack
by this mass collection of information by various programs
have been putting Place, do you?
There you go. So they've rewritten history on this,
because I remember I distinctly remember all the discussions
that were going on. And most of it was critical, the CIA, not
the NSA, and the NSA was collecting all that stuff back
then they've been doing it since they got formed. That's what the
FBI guy talking so to be in bed with the NSA, as opposed to the
CIA, which, in fact, because we talked about this before, where
mi five and MI six are closely interlinked, the FBI and the CIA
have always had a wall between the two, you don't have guys
going back and forth. But there's never been a wall
between the FBI and the NSA. And so they're working together. So
you have the spokes hole, essentially, for the NSA here.
So So what's going on? And here's what's interesting is
that this movie that we're talking about was done in 1998.
I would suspect that this was the situation where the CIA
keeps getting less money, less resources, is marginalized by
the guys who are cooler. Let's just face it in terms of
TitanKa. All the rest have three challenge coins.
They got a bunch of challenge coins, they got cool chat with a
this Yeah, he's got to a bunch too. But they got cool chat, but
they got the computers and they got the four data centers, this
huge thing in Utah that is ludicrously monster is going to
cut their weight and collect everything. And they're
creative.
And they have the goods on everybody. They're the
right, the blackmailers. And so the CIA, meanwhile, I believe
may have been behind the movie enemy of the state did no good
whatsoever, it had helped their cause to get some more cash in
their coffers. So that's why they have to do the poppy fields
thing.
Which is another movement. So they are the Silk Road is what
you're telling me.
They're saying, you know, we need the money. And so they're
there. You know, we've talked about this before, there's lots
of evidence that the CIA is involved with the poppy growing
into the Afghanistan area. But it's like for the it's basically
bottom line income that they need, because they're getting
screwed by these NSA guys, and they can't seem to do anything
about it. And if you want to take Tony Scott, for an example,
it would be the NSA, who killed him to show the CIA that they
can do that kind of thing. Exactly. And so this showdown
between these two agencies is getting real.
It is I have to say, I just like everyone to wear a little flags,
we don't have to guess each time Who are you and srca just like,
like do Bloods and Crips, you know, like, where?
Exactly what ones? Red ones blue. So, so this is I think
it's true, but it's funny, I forgot that I always thought the
enemy to say was about a CIA deal, but you're right. And
specifically in it,
and it's not on iTunes, it's not on Netflix. This is 1998. And it
was a it was a hit. Huge movie. Why is it not available? Is
this? Is it an embarrassment? Is there a reason? I mean, yeah, I
mean, you know, it just seems like that. And by the way, it
came down pretty fast. There was a lot of people seeing this
movie.
Oh, you mean you just did it? No, I
did watch it last night. And I started, I started watching it.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, now because you know, just that
whole opening scene where they you know, where they shoot the
guy in the neck with the with the syringe and then let his his
Mercedes roll back into the water and the dogs bark, and
they make it look like he's suicided from like, Oh, now I
remember this movie. I'm still gonna watch the whole thing
again, because there's gonna be lots of nuances. I think that
they can pick up that maybe I didn't see before. And that's
what like, oh, wait a bit. And Tony Scott. It didn't wasn't
like a year ago, or maybe it wasn't two years ago. When did
he commit suicide?
It was less I think it was within the last year.
And it was weird. It was really weird. It was offbeat.
Yeah. It didn't make sense.
It was a year ago 19th of August 2012. Well, there you
go. Exactly a year ago. Coincidence? David Marconi, the
writer of the story and the writer of enemy the state really
didn't work again for 12 more years when he did. Really? Yeah,
he did live way Actually, he did the story for live for your Die
Hard, which was another computer oriented NSA kind of story and
only got a job at Festo as a screenwriter in 2010 So that's
12 years and is some crappy he's like basically he had like a
bunch of good movies Rumble Fish The Outsiders GI Joe which was
not great but it was a moneymaker the harvest enemy of
the state and then nothing I mean, why is that? I don't know.
Anyway, yeah, this is gonna be interesting to see because it's
spy versus spy but the NSA has got the money they got to do
blackmail angle they they're spying on the US public so they
get their way. Not only
that, I mean, now that this
comes out now eavesdropping on love interest has its own spy
label. According to The Wall Street Journal, several officers
with the NFA or pardon me NSA have used the agency's sweeping
surveillance capabilities to spy on love interests. It's dubbed
love isn't, as in love intelligence. Now, the
report says the violations involved overseas
communications, usually on a partner or spouse. Yeah, sure,
whatever. Dianne Feinstein admitted this, she says that
once a year, she gets a report, which means that it's real easy
for them to do. This is just it's easy. It's just a matter of
pressing a button.
Yeah, no, there's dig a little there's a form, you fill out the
form who you know, you have form,
it's not a paper form. They
just know it's a form on the computer. You go on the
computer, you type in a bunch of shit and you get a report. It's
a form. Really, it's a form is it like there was a whole
scandal about is one of the Snowden slides showing how to
this slideshow showed how to fill out the form
the Lotus Notes form? No, it's just a form. And then
the the person's name and your phone number. And then you're
given a name and phone number, you got everything you want. I
love it. Good to go. And, you know, again, they've invited
essentially, it's against the law, what they're doing. That's
the that's the whole point of it. Nobody wants to well, like
that is so and but the blackmail is against the law to now with
the talking point is changed. And I have an this will wrap it
up for me. So here's a Muller again, on his exit interview
there.
Taylor to do that.
We've given up some civil liberties, though. Well, it's
gone
from constitutional rights to civil liberties. This is this is
this is a very egregious change in the fact that these is a
constitutional right, that we have to not be searched and our
stuff not be searched. Although we give a lot of that up when we
use Gmail and Google stuff. And that's, that's your own damn
fault. It terms of service Terms of Service. But there's a lot of
stuff that is that is completely against your constitutional
right, which is now being called civil
liberties. I would query about what do you mean terms of civil
liberties? And what we have given up? Yes? Do we exchanged
information in ways we did not before? Absolutely. You can say
that that is a to the extent that you che exchange
information between CIA, FBI, NSA and the like, you could
characterize that as somehow giving up liberties. But the
fact of the matter is, it's understandable and absolutely
necessary if you want to protect the security of the United
States. That's
right. Absolutely understandable. That's how it
works. It's just understandable. We get it you want to protect,
we want to protect the United States. And then the President
in his little, everyone's on CNN these days, I guess they just
gave up. It's like, No, we got no ratings. So let's just take
the money from those guys. And of course, everyone's been on
the take. Now we know that Google, Microsoft, Yahoo. I
don't know if Apple but I wouldn't put it past them. You
know, they've all just essentially been taking money
per customer that they sell out. You know, they take they're
taken millions of dollars, Facebook, taken millions of
dollars to change the system so that they can be accessed or
they can deliver whatever needs to be delivered. And there's a
per user fee per request. It's good money, good money. Here's
the president mistakes are made well shakes your confidence.
Yeah, but I think it's important. For example, this
latest rebels revelation that was made, what was learned was
that NSA had inadvertently, accidentally pulled the emails
of some Americans in violation of
the Constitution of the United States, their own rules, I'm
sorry, their own rules.
Because of these technical problems that they didn't
realize they presented technical problems. They didn't realize
those problems to the court. The court said, this isn't going to
cut it, you're gonna have to improve the safeguards is given
these technical problems.
That's not exactly what the briefs says. The court even
although heavily redacted, the court kind of said it's
constitutionally unjust and illegal, not just this ain't
gonna cut it.
That's exactly what happened. So the point is, is that all these
safeguards, checks, audits, oversight, weren't they weren't,
what I recognize is that we're going to have to continue to
improve the safeguards. And as technology moves forward, that
means that we may be able to build technologies to give
people more assurance,
what do you think that means? I think it means ID cards or
something is we're going to as technology improves, we'll be
able to give now give people safeguards that gives them
longer just listen to that again.
What I recognize is that we're going to have to continue to
improve the safeguards.
Safeguards improve the safety,
right think what you here's the reason because if you looked at
as PowerPoints about how you use the system to get information,
it's you know, if you use his name and phone number of people
change their phone numbers a lot If you had an ID card with,
besides a social security number, which should do the
trick, it seems to me but if you but a social security number
that's in some other form of ID so it's it's, I don't know, they
gotta have something that make it easier. So if you have I want
it because here's the problem I get. There's too many Adam
curries out there. Yeah, there's
quite a few. There's some kid playing 1000s All at the high
school somewhere. And they Madame curry,
there's 1000s of Adam curries and dislike, and you've moved
around enough that you have somebody plugged in one of your
old numbers.
On my credit report, there's still some guy in Florida Adam
curry, who sucks. And I can't get it off. I can't get rid of
it.
Yeah, well, this problem. And these are data collection
companies that are only focused on one simple thing, and they
can't do it right. The NSA is trying to record all your
conversations grab every chat you've ever done, grab all your
Facebook data, all your phone calls and bury them in some file
off of whatever number it is. This has got to be a nightmare
for retrieval. I mean, yeah, you could probably do as a job and
figure it out. This guy's having an affair with somebody and you
can bust them. But generally speaking, I think that they need
to simplify the the overall system so if as for data
processing purposes, so that people can have so in other
words, you won't be Adam curry someday in the future. This
isn't tomorrow, but this would be in the Red Book at some day
in the future. You'd be you'd be Adam curry. 17739299 like the
giant like the Gmail accounts, no divorce check is already
taken. You can use divorce 42
We're so sorry. Mr. And Mrs. Curry. You can't name your kid
Charlene. She'll have to be Charlene seven, nine or five to
curry. Thank you. resume normal activity.
And since people are making up names anyway, like crazy. It's
like yeah, I can't I don't see. I can see you know, first you
got to scare the public to death. You can make the argument
that you know we're gonna all gonna die because we don't know
who we are anybody is because there's no positive idea.
There's bigger this Adam curry. He's not the same as this Adam
curry. This is confusing. This is no good. It's a good science
fiction story. Let
me ask you this. Do you see an end to this? Do you see a simple
way that this can just end? I mean, is there anything that can
happen that can just end all of this that can just make it go
away?
Well, they'd have to be a combination of things. One you
have to have an economic collapse puts pressure on the
budgets and then it when things started falling apart, and then
people were getting bitter because it was you start laying
off people at the NSA. You're gonna have some shit coming out
because these guys are gonna Well, that's not right. Why am I
getting laid off? I'm the best IT guy here in this department.
What is this kid he you're only hiring him? Because you get you
get him to work and cheaper. And he comes out? I mean, they'll
find something that's really scandalous, right. And then
they'll have to do a reevaluate. I mean, it's not gonna really
and because we're, we've been a security state since 1947. It's
just becoming more obvious. But they could back off a little.
Is that the only that's the only way it could go. There's nothing
else that could happen. There's
no nothing else can happen. All right. So I mean, you could have
a revolution but this public is so pacified by the Kim
Kardashian phenomenon and things like that. Never Have you know,
they'll eat beans from a can and mac and cheese.
You anything. Kim Kardashian is going to eat her placenta?
Kidding, not kidding. This is this is what the slaves are
watching on. I know. I'm gonna show no agenda. Imagine all the
people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
I'm not kidding. That's the promo. It has been running all
weekend. Is
it going to be live on TV?
I hope so.
God, I hope that she This is the problem. This is just tells you
where we're headed as a country as a culture. Meanwhile, we have
people helping us out Dennis del dal praw in Washington,
Colorado, $111.11. And he does have a note. Again, it's in the
pile. I should take the notes I've read and put them over
here because we don't always read notes from people who are
not executive producers.
Right? But when they send them in, in the mail,
no. Okay, so if it's longhand,
well this is typed. That actually looks like it was typed
by an IBM negative. I want to know an executive does got the
proportional spacing. I'm guessing it might be. I've been
fretting for some time I should show my support in more direct
ways, but always seem to lose the sense of urgency after Show
episode. However, something John said today was all the catalyst
I needed to stop being a douche bag and send a check. John
mentioned that the reason donations were down recently
could be related to The fact that he that this is peak
vacation time, for example, all of France has gone on holiday.
Holy crap. I thought if I don't donate now people might think
I'm French.
Yes, if you're not donating you are suspiciously French.
So that was Dennis. Definitely a letter worth reading me. So
that's $111.11 Mac tank and La Jolla, California. $100 show's

Foundation, to all three M Vulcan materials that just just
the list goes on and on and on and on. And then he says No
wonder no wonder the exhibit talked about how great electric
cars were in the early 20th century and how global warming
is the reason why you should buy electric or hybrid cars, a real
way to change history in the future with it here at the
National Museum of American History. And then he says he
noticed a long line going somewhere I decided to
investigate. I saw it was a mobile soup kitchen. Slaves were
in line, the economy sucks. And then what else do we have here?
Just some vaccine stuff. So do you and he's in high school?

know everyone knows that this is the way the show gets produced
is not produced with any help from Vulcan in General Motors or
anybody else a.org/a.
And only one on the list today and in case you were wondering
people do ask from time to time hey you know how do I get on the
birthday list all you have to do is sending them donation $50 of
mortgage to mention on the show regardless of what happy to put
you in in the birthday lessons an extra bonus. Matthew John
carries his happy birthday to serve Josh Carrie turning 13 on
August 31. Happy birthday from your buddies here the best
podcast in the universe. And then we have Sir James Spitzer
becoming the Baron of Jamaica Plain Boston. We will reflect
that in the show notes at 542 dot na shownotes.com And even
though I'm pretty sure he already is a night the note was
confusing. So I'm just going to ask Sir Andrew largeman to step
forward please. I think we need to ensure that you are properly
knighted my friends so we here by maybe for the second time
pronounced the Sir Andrew largeman knights of the no
agenda roundtable all you gotta do is step on up and we've got
for you your hookers and blow rent boys and charred men hot
pants and booze, long haired heavy metal guys with scotch
wedges and beer Rubenesque Roman and Rosae gotchas in sock a
vodka millibar hits and bourbon sparkling cider escorts and your
mutton and Mead. And head on over to no agenda nation.com
rings sorry,
we have to mention Baroness Francine and put her under the
same lists with Spitzer.
Which thought she already wasn't bareness. Well, no, you don't I
don't care. I don't go to run as many times as she wants.
He doesn't keep your brand seen need to send her a crown
Francine
ko Scoble
Francine Scoble.
gonna be so mad now. We should send her a crown that I think
that's a good idea. Send her a crown. Nice. Hey, thanks,
everybody, especially those of you checking in for our sixth
anniversary, which is coming up in October. So I guess we're
gonna have a super long list of everyone who gave us help us out
with 6666 or as many sixes as you want. Hmm.
Somebody somebody was tweeting us that they want us to talk a
little bit about Syria, which is becoming a joke. Well, I Oh, no,
wait, wait, before we do that. We didn't play this clip last
year. I want to play it. Okay. I still think it's a funny clip.
This is Obama and the hecklers. And this is where Obama's being
heckled at some, one of his speeches, because there was
somebody in the back was irked about Bradley Manning, and then
it became a fiasco and Obama has no sense of crowd control
as, as any middle class family will tell you. We are not I hear
you. I gotcha. No, no, no, that's fine. Way, way, way, way,
way way. We're okay. We're okay.
Is he saying that the Secret Service we're out Okay, we're
okay the railway is okay. No worries.
I guess
that's okay. Hold on hold on a second. Hold on Hold on. Hello
everybody. Hello, Kyle. Hold on a minute. Wow, hold on man Oh
wow. What's happening here? I didn't see this what is what is
actually taking place while
people were protesting as a group with protesting the 35
year sense of Bradley Manning and I guess this woman started
yelling. And then I guess the goons came in and then everybody
because the liberal audience of the students they all gotten
bent out of shape goons so they all started making noise and the
goons he had to back them off. Goons this is good Oh, goons.
You know, hold on a second
Can I Can I just say that that as hecklers go that young lady
was very polite she was and you know, she brought up an issue of
importance and that's part of what America is all about. Wow.
That's what America is all about. Shut up slave.
Get a lot of press.
No, no, I did catch. He said something funny. I don't know if
it was that was this at the school where it was at
Birmingham? I think some school yeah, he said he because he went
off script this is the problem and he said something pretty
funny you know when you get your your metaphors or your your what
do you call them sayings? What are they called?
Your similes or metaphors, your school saying shot stuff here,
bromides and
whose parents are under resource, we shouldn't be
helping them get a leg up. And so those are some of the
proposals we've seen now are talking about the even deeper
cuts in programs like Headstart, even deeper cuts in education
support, even deeper cuts in basic science and research. And
that's like eating your corn see.
I think the expression is eating your seed corn. Corn seed. It's
really funny. In the corn seed, like no, that's like eating your
seed corn which is like you know, your your basic, your
more corn Yeah. Eating because you're starving to death.
Or maybe someone just wrote that incorrectly, which is also
useless. even funnier.
Yeah, yeah. I can't even think and again think for himself.
Apparently. He's so so I found this to be interesting. So do go
back to the Syria thing after this little aside
seems like a national treasure damned if he does damned if he
doesn't, you know, and it seems like he was the one thing
President Obama knows is if he actually goes into Syria, then
it's over for him. Because then everything that he all the
facade that has been put up and it will end you know, it will
just end because if if American troops go in, and we're already
there, the ships are positioned. We got the British ships over
there in Gibraltar and everything's ready to go this
thing is a tinderbox. He just doesn't want to get blamed. He
wants it to be, you know, the international community. But
really, they're all a BP total. Exxon, all the oil companies are
ready to go but everybody's ready doing
this. And that even though that's just for the pipelines,
because there's not much resources in Syria, now.
Stop the stop everything there. Yeah.
The thing that's interesting, I'm starting to read I think
these these so called chemical attack that took place right,
when the when the one
that was the one that the video was uploaded, before it
happened. Yeah.
That one, that one? Yeah. I think is, you know, because
because Obama made the mistake of saying druart Just drawing
the line in the sand with chemical weapons if they do
that. Redway gotta do red line, red line, that red line. That
was that was a mistake. And
as you know, I feel that chemical weapons are a good
yeah, we're not gonna go into that again.
No, let me tell you why. Do you know that in 19, no, in 1999 in
the state of Arizona, we gassed a prisoner to death and we we
still in California, it is still the backup plan for the lethal
injection. We love the gas chamber. We love gassing people.
Well, that may or may not be true. But the point is, is that
Obama said he's going to do something they get and now all
of a sudden gases using the most obvious way which makes me think
the Russians are behind it. Now. Let's go and take a look at this
PBS. This is the news hour. They are national treasures News
Hour, which is We've decided is the one it says futzing with,
because he was not giving them any more money until they jazz
up the show and had sound effects. So they have this
situation where they describe the gassing and they go and they
they tell you who's against it. Everyone's all upset the British
guy, the French guy, then awkwardly, they mentioned the
Russian guys against it and it unlike anybody else they talked
about they read a long quote from the Russian guy, which is
actually interesting, the quotes interesting and it makes you
wonder that you just get the feeling that you're being set up
for something or other but the Russians are definitely making
their position clear. And and I think that there are a lot of
this going on there's they're causing trouble. These guys are
troublemakers.
Okay, while we're playing this, can you can you do whatever you
normally do when you keep cutting out on Skype? It's like
something happened in there at the house. Am I cutting out now?
Yeah, well, yeah, yeah. Like I didn't hear you say Bill Gates
and you keep cutting out like that every like,
Okay, well, you play that I'm gonna go look around. Alright.
Nice knowing you well
through on what they have claimed previously, and give the
investigators access to the sites. The opportunity to
interview witnesses the opportunity to collect physical
samples and other things that would help them reach a credible
determination about what exactly occurred there.
World leaders including the foreign ministers of Britain and
Germany, and UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, expressed
shock at the chemical weapons allegations right and called for
a thorough investigation, as did Russia, which has protected the
Assad regime by vetoing UN sanctions aimed at ending the
violence. In a statement, Russia's Foreign Ministry
spokesman suggested the incident could be a provocation by the
opposition, saying this is supported by the fact that the
criminal act was committed near Damascus, at the very moment
when a mission of UN experts had successfully started their work
of investigating allegations of the possible use of chemical
weapons. Their
payback. Oh, good. Because I can say I love chemical weapons so
much better than blowing people to pieces. It's so much so much
cleaner. You keep the buildings, there's no mess to clean up.
You know, do you send me a big proponent of the neutron bomb?
Yes. We've already discussed this. I don't understand why
killing people one way or the other makes any difference?
They suffer more. No, they don't
suffer if you got your half your body blown up. This is fine. But
that's not the point of the Oh, wow. It just got worse.
JC is looking around because he's not on the machine. I'm not
on the machine. You want to reconnect?
No, we'll just don't talk too loud. talk quieter when you talk
louder. It's when it cuts out.
It's like a limiter. Game hear that?
Yeah, I heard it. I'm just not responding. Oh,
all right. So hey, what was wrong with my comment? That
might be like a limiter.
It was just it was what it was, you know? You want to let me
talk about my love for chemical weapons. I love Yeah, I don't
understand. I just it doesn't, doesn't compute with me the
data's I know
it doesn't Yeah, yeah. Just shoot people. Yeah, the chances
of survival if you get shot.
It's giving given someone a shot? Is that what it's about?
You have no shot of surviving if it's chemical weapon. I just
want the hypocrisy is just beyond me. I don't understand
why you why you don't think this is?
I don't know why you think it's I mean, it's just like, it's an
agreement. I think any agreement that lowers the kind of, you
know, well, let's just, you know, have everything. You know,
let's start with clubs. And then we have chemical weapons and gas
and get well poison. Let's poison the oceans. Let's just,
you know, take the Baltic Sea and put a bunch of poison in
there and kill everyone. I mean, it just gets you kill your own
people to you know,
they can't do that. The oceans too big. They're trying to kill
us with food. Look at the mac and cheese for 39 cents. Come
on. That's chemical warfare right there. You're cutting out
again.
I didn't say anything.
Good. Can I tell you what we're doing here in America though?
Okay. This is a this is a marine. Colonel testifying just
testified,
I was in charge. I was in Ministry of Defense for one
year. My job was to man train and equip the Iraqi army in Al
Anbar and the job Karbala and living within the provinces. And
I can tell you right now, well, somebody had the great idea to
get rid of the Iraqi army. So when we rebuilt it, we did
everything we could to make it as strong as possible. And I'll
tell you right now, Homeland Security would kick their butts
in a week. What's happening here is we're building a domestic
military because it's unlawful or unconstitutional for us,
Americans. troops on American soil. So what we're doing is
we're building a military. My best friend who's a SWAT officer
in Nashua, became direct with me to train the Iraqi police sent
me an email with a picture of him immediately on the streets
of Watertown mass wearing the exact same combat gear that we
had an Iraq only it was a different color. And what the
way we do things in the military is called task organization. You
take a command, and then you attach units to it in order to
accomplish the mission. What's happening is Homeland Security
is pre staging gear equipment, consistent. What they're trying
to do is use standardized vehicles standardized equipment.
I saw a picture in the Boston Globe during the Marathon
Bombing when there was a state police officer. So there were
two officers. They both had identical helmets, flak jackets,
weapons, everything I wore in Iraq, only it was all blue. The
officer on one side had a big patch on his back that said
Massachusetts State Police, another officer next to him his
patch said Boston Police is what we're doing here. And let's not
kid about it. We're building a domestic army, and we're
shrinking the military because the government is afraid of its
own citizens. The last time more than 10 terrorists were in the
same place at one time was September 11. And all these
vehicles in the world wouldn't have depended what would have
helped anybody. So other than where we're going to use this
many vehicles and this many troops, Concord is just one
little cog in the wheel. But building an army over here, I
can't believe that people aren't seeing it. Is everybody lying?
That's the part that we've never figured out, John, is that
they're standardizing everything.
Yeah, this is the the government, federal government
has been a big thing in my little town here. They've been
sending money to every town but they have to spend the money on
like some tea or some sweat mixture, get SWAT teams,
everyone's got it. The little is now with the smallest
populations have to have SWAT teams. There's you know, we've
talked about the stats on this before there's 30,000 of those
SWAT missions a year when it used to be 30. But I
didn't know I didn't realize that. This is about
standardizing the gear so that all these into these different
police forces, they can all interchange all their stuff. And
you know, the 50 caliber will snap on to the next guy right
here. You know,
it's like a giant military. Military. Yeah. Only they
believe militarized police departments in most cities in
which is not policing anymore. It's now it's essentially
turning the country into a prison camp with these guys as
the guards and It's deplorable.
A prison camp.
Yeah, it's a giant prison.
I'm telling you, you'll be begging for chemical weapons to
be used on you. You watch. Baroness Francine. Hardaway says
Dear Adam curry and at the real DeVore I am not at Scoble iser,
I am his she'll on gadgets. Thanks for the crown. All right.
So this, this all does have to do this. A lot of weird things
coming up. So if you look in the conspiracy circles, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency has been ordering all these like,
like ready to eat meals for October. There's something going
on in FEMA Region three. Did you know there were regions for this
FEMA thing? I did know that. Yeah. What region are you in? I
don't know. I'm in FEMA Region six, apparently.
Well, it's California. I don't know.
I don't know. But FEMA,
just look it up. I'll look it up.
Yeah, FEMA Region three is Washington, DC, Delaware,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. And
we've heard about West Virginia for a while. But now the CDC has
ordered $11 million worth of antibiotics for one, region
three.
You want to type in into Google FEMA Region map and then click
on images and there's all these what are you? I'm in 906? Yes.
And then in November, we're supposed to have a power grid
drill. 150 companies and groups will take part in a drill that
will simulate attacks on the power grid. Why do we need to do
this?
Well, no, they got money to spend to get money to spend his
free lunches.
Well, I think if you look at all the things coming together at
the same time, you know, we just had another one of these cyber
scams where NASDAQ had What did they say? Oh, the Russian
hackers that getting into NASDAQ Yeah, whatever the Russian
hackers run NASDAQ already they program all the high frequency
trading. So we've got the cyber scans ready we've I'm sure what
you know, the more I look at the all the pieces on the board, the
more I think that it finally your your your cycle theory, and
you're an idiot, by the way for not having your book out.
Because you know, after October when this all happens, no one's
gonna have money for a book.
This is this is true.
I mean, I'll help promote it if you can get it out. Now. No, no,
no, it doesn't just put it together and put it on a kick
started.
No kickstart is the way by the way somebody keeps saying you
keep using the word giblet. Yeah. What does that mean? That
is
an Amazon ebook. I said giblet okay, I don't know why, but it's
I've never heard this from anyone but you.
Yeah, I know. I made it up. Oh, okay. Would that make
sense? It's a chip. It's a chiplet. Yes.
The President had a meeting with all of the the top financial
guys now. Members
on the schedule, I think they still think that if they keep
this quantitative easing up, no, they taper taper it's through
and then we're good to go.
I'm gonna call you back. This is getting too bad now. Okay.
Let's see if this works. That's really bad.
You there? Yes, I am. Okay. I don't know
what it's almost like your computer hard drive is glitching
with each new file that has to write away and send off to Utah.
Okay. You know, it's on the it's on the schedule. And and the
President had this big meeting with with all of the Federal
Reserve FDIC CFTC sec, Federal Housing Finance Agency, CEOs of
the banks, I always get a little worried because you know that
later, that's what you you see later on HBO about that meeting.
You know, Kevin Spacey was in it.
Right. Well sums up some I'm looking at these maps of these
regions. Your best bet is to live in northern Montana.
Oh, Mollywood has family there. We can all go to Molly's farm.
Yeah. Molly's farm. Hi, I'm Adam. Yeah, no, Molly said it
would be okay. I can just see her dad sitting there like, hey,
my LAN. Molly's day. Get off my land.
Yeah, that's got to be the best one because it's the biggest in
terms of square feet. And it's the furthest away from HQ,
right? Because HQ is in Denver for that region.
And vice. Did you hear about the Geitner summers memo? Did you
hear this was a Greg Palast revelation that was kind of
brought back about the World Trade Organization financial
services agreement.
Yeah, what do you think of that palace
guy? You know, I want to like him and then for some reason,
like I always turn up like, I don't know if he's shilling or
not.
Well, he's always wearing that stupid hat.
This is a problem. The hat is a little knowing we I got the hair
so I'm not going to pin that on him. But what he has in the
story is quite interesting. And I have the copy of the memo
which is from Little Timmy Geithner who by the way, someone
told me that Timmy Geithner is on the shortlist, perhaps four
to replace their Bernanke. If that happens, then you know
October is then
summers. Summers No, I also heard Timmy is also on the list.
I never heard this.
Okay, well, I'm just telling you what I get in the email
is easy to use the two step one is like looks like an evil
villain. The other one it looks like Leave It to Beaver.
Right? Doesn't matter which one gets the job? We're in trouble
either way.
Yeah, no, they should. Yeah. Because they're gonna pull the
plug on the economic on the on the quantitative easing, and
they're gonna end up sinking the economy.
Yeah, the whole the whole system kind of falls apart because then
you know, there's just no fake money. But this this is did you
see this? This memo which is supposed to Yeah, what? Let me
explain it briefly. The concept is that and of course it uses
all the hot buttons the subjects World Trade Organization,
financial services, negotiations, industry
consultations, and Timmy says two summers actually, as we
enter the end game, and that's the big that's the trigger right
there as to use the word end game of World Trade Organization
organization financial services negotiations, I believe it'd be
a good idea for you to touch base with the CEOs of the major
US Banking and Securities firms and so from what I understand
the way Palace laid this out, is that it was set up to have all
banks all around the world get ready for derivative so they
could basically just blow all of this nasty shit all over the
place. And and he's in insinuating that the end game
was to tank the world. I don't think that's necessarily true.
Although I do like the idea, and I went back and I watched some
of his interviews with, you know, the guy from credit,
Leone, the, the head of the World Trade Organization,
financial services, and they all do look like incredible
douchebags. I mean, no doubt. And I think that they all are
totally trying to steal anything they can but purposely bring
down the world. I don't think so.
There'd be no point to it for them. No. But they do want to
get I think there's a you know, they were, according to that,
that article, they were working together with world governments
and our government in the United Nations to get all the banks
around everywhere to deregulate, yes. So the derivatives,
specifically for derivatives and to remove the, the firewall
between investment banking and
wish that was accomplished by Clinton right Long, long ago. So
I don't know how
well the memo was in 9797. Who was president? Wasn't Clinton
still president?
Yeah. Clinton. Clinton is the one who changed most of the
banking rules. Yeah, the all of the banking rules. Yeah, to open
it up for wild speculation. But of course, you know, let's blame
bush. So
yeah, Bush ain't gonna die in the saddle, though.
No, seems unlikely. This is a real saddle. So. So, again, I
said it three times
so far. No, you said it about 50 times. Okay. Well, once you
ring the bell, please. Anyways, that does it.
I have I have a little email here that perhaps I could read.
My day job as a win optimization software engineer for a company
that supports enterprise networks, which support guest Wi
Fi services, eg Denny Starbucks, Hilton, et cetera. I learned
something if possible interest to you. Every guest Wi Fi IP
flow is logged, including the guest MAC address identifying
the actual laptop or tablet for law enforcement purposes. Yeah,
I didn't actually realize that they were doing that.
Doesn't surprise me. I would actually have been more
surprised if they weren't doing it to be honest about it. Yeah.
But it seems
like there's only one or two companies that do all the
backup. Is that that what is the name of that? Like storm Bong
house? Or what is it called? You seen it pop up all the time?
That no. Yeah, some hotels have it. Bon Bon Hove house, or it's
like one company that does that sounds very Nazi sounding? Yeah.
Bomb house.
Yeah, I don't know. I ran
into a solicitor from Southern Poverty Law Center on South
Congress. So two days ago.
They're just standing out there asking you to sign something.
Hey, can
I talk to you guys about the Southern Poverty Law Center? And
I went, No, I hate them. They're liars. And Mickey went Shut up.
I want to go get a burger. She didn't want me to get into it
was really sad. And another another one is like, stare
at him. Then walk.
Yeah. And then when we came back, we had to go past the guy
again to get in the car. And did he give you the evil lie? No,
no, no. Here's what happened. He looked you saw it was me and he
stepped back. Physically stepped back into the shadows. It's
called the petition avoidance tactic. Which, which is now
people are starting to like it. Let's see I got one here.
They're lighter. Say and it just pops out. Let me see. We got an
email from Charlie Brown. Yes, that's his real name. Charlie
Brown. Your petition avoidance tactic is genius. I was walking
out of the library this week. And I was approached by lady who
asked if I was a registered registered voter. Why yes, I am.
I replied. She said well, you're Democrat or Republican because I
have some individuals who would like to get on the ballot. My
reply, I don't believe in people getting on the ballot. Confusion
began to spread all over her face as she stammered out will
how do you vote for them? Then? My reply we wouldn't. And that
was checkmate. This is it really is fun. When you get into it, it
really what did I have the other day keeps happening for some
reason on South Congress is like I don't know. They just They're
popping up now. It's really annoying.
Yeah, they have some mark on the sidewalk showing there's a lot
of rubes and suckers. Oh, right. Bobo's in the 30s
You know it's 100 degrees in Texas in Austin. All right and I
don't want to stand there and talk to you about the Southern
Poverty Law Center and I mean it they're liars I hate those guys.
They literally lie about organizations call them you
know, like Oh crazy people.
So play this clip. This is just a short little I get to do this
oh, you're gonna have a dream. That's closing
it out.
In plain opening
I just slipped into slit into it. I slid into it don't worry
about it.
Just the way I think you handle you know, you get down today's
is a known fact that we talked about this a lot. You can't get
news not somebody will talk to you, as they think it's a sin to
talk to the press and all the rest. So you just play it like
this race war as invites the army.
Okay, World War Two. Christine Jorgensen, an American soldier
who served as a man returned for military service and became
Christine and Manning's case the focus now lies on how the army
will proceed with the soldiers request. And what that means for
the privates future in prison. We invited a representative of
the army to join us but none was available to appear tonight.
They have 1000s of people
got So either they didn't they didn't ask it right. Or they
asked it right it's it's really I find it fascinating that would
that the national conversation is about the NSA and transgender
transgender ideation you know, anti gay Putin stuff it's all
very sexual and it's kind of you know, I don't know it's a very
strange like like this is what Americans what confuses America,
just throw some transgender item they'll never figure it out.
Like and figure out the one with Amy Goodman, that's for sure.
Yeah.
I got a note from from Tristan one of our producers in in the
South Pacific it's called a lava lava. The man dress Oh yeah,
yeah, yeah, cuz I liked the idea of a man dress and I'm going to
see if I can order me a lava lava and I'm gonna wear it
around but you get a moo moo. No, no, no. The lava lava is
good looking.
Oh, bull crap.
It's the Polynesian dress it's no it is it's also Samoan.
That's the reason yeah, I like it. la lava what's it called man
dressed lava lava it's a lava lava clothing my lava lava
clothing. Let's
hit lava love It's good stuff.
And yeah, this is what the Samoans wear because they can't
really get into pants.
Yeah. Oh, and let me tell you I am Oh, here we go. I am looking
tight. Now with all that with that spin class going on.
Whether you should show it off some tight fitting clothes. Wear
a Speedo. Why are you wearing lava lava?
speedos not a good look. Not a good look. No not speedos
with a codpiece should be looking great.
No, I'm gonna wear the lava. I can wear a tight lava lava.
So all these guys are wearing lava lavas which looks like a
piece of crap by the way. Oh, that's not true cheap looking
and then a white t shirt. That seems to be the or no top.
You seem to think it's a real problem you seem to have a
problem with with men and dresses.
I think it's silly. Why? Because Ben, because it looks silly.
Have you ever seen some of these pictures? Here's
sorry. I'm sorry. Crocs are the height of fashion. I'm sorry
John. You're right. What am I saying?
Some some of my you don't even know this card. So this little I
don't wear crocs by the way I've never owned the brand. But they
were focused people with lava lava where I'm looking at all
these pictures a couple guys golfing. They're wearing these
things. And they both them have those crazy sand flip flops. So
you're thinking so this is gonna be your look you're gonna have a
I'll describe it. You got some red lava lava, some flip flops,
your your calves hanging out a Hawaiian shirt that looks like
crap and a baseball cap. Unbelievable.
No, I think I can make it work for me in a different way. I
don't get
to stay at home. I challenge you to wear this this outfit John
farmers market I will wear
the love. Oh, by the way. I need to thank farmer Chris. The
farmers market. Hey, hey, Farmer Chris. Mickey said you got to
thank farmer Chris once in a while. She right. He is our
biggest fan. The Oryx now that's that's Sebastian the French guy.
Don't Don't get me started on Sebastian.
What happened? You guys brought back a little beef jello beef.
What happened?
No nothing.
So I do a full of friendship trick on you and sell you
something that wasn't worth the price.
No, he's just French. It's just
he tried to hit you with the red. No.
He's been gone. His wife has been manning the stall and it's
been very pleasurable. No, I get along with it very nice. But he
was there the other day and then he was like, oh right before you
know We'd like 40 bucks and you got some mustard you didn't want
what the hell? I'm afraid to say no to him.
Oh, so he's a good salesman and you have no resistance to the
Frenchman
anyway, what I what I commit to I'm not going to wear the stupid
flip flops or the go or the baseball cap but I think farmer
Chris and I will wear our lava lavas at the market I'm not
worried about that
at all. I think people will last a lot people
see you so not in touch with your with your just manliness.
It's like you think that because you wear a dress like you're a
woman all of a sudden? Yeah, no. Oh, shame on you. Yes, you're
gonna have panties. You're wondering bra? Sure. Sad. just
sad. Boy. Yeah, you're sad. All right, play us out here big boy,
what you got?
Well, I do have a couple what little things? I thought that
this was interesting. This is the you know that get you
reading that book about Washington DC.
Yeah, in this town, when the guy was on the national
treasure discussing some of the things. And there are two little
clips. I have one about the theory that, that Republicans
that gridlock is good, which I kind of agree with what they
talked about. But this is the future of politics clip with
him. And the guy who wrote a book on the Tea Party. We're
sitting there, you know, best friends kind of talking about,
you know what everything is? And there was a couple I thought
this was a misleading, but interesting kind of
conversation.
And this is
the future of politics slip,
right? No, but I'm just trying to think that the two guys
talking the one guy is what's his name?
Your buddy who wrote the book in this town, he's the Democrat and
the other guy's a Republican, which makes it even more
interesting. You
write about a celebrity authorized culture, and not only
from people who are on TV and make millions of dollars,
like us.
But people who work in public service and become kind of
celebrities to is that new?
It's new and that new media is new. It's new, and that Twitter
is new. It's new, and that Facebook is new? When I do think
that look, I think we are in a business now as journalists in
which the gold standard has become punditry. As opposed to
reporting, Ray, if you can be outrageous, if you can have a
better shouting that
enter my dress, I'm on my way to Hollywood is on TV.
If you can have a more attention getting blog, you are probably
in a better place, you're in a better place to succeed to make
money than other people. And frankly, it's part of a larger
phenomenon politics today in which Washington and the
political class really does very, very well, when nothing
gets done.
So does that explain why and the three of us could probably make
a list with 20 or 30 names on it, a very well known elected
officials who have no singular legislative achievement, no law
that bears their name, no linchpin moment in history to
which they contributed. But they're famous.
Absolutely. I mean, fame itself has become the defining
imperative when we look at the 2012 Republican race for
president, for instance, I mean, you could argue that Michelle
Bachman, for instance, to go back to sort of Roberts
congressional space is not exactly a pillar of great
achievement in the house, but she became very famous as a sort
of a cable person is a staple in the conversation. She's the flip
side on the Democratic side, Anthony Weiner, who has been in
the news a lot. I mean, Anthony Weiner was known as a, you know,
a talking head during the health care debate and thereafter, but
he had no legislative achievement to speak of in fact,
it was basically an outcast in the Democratic caucus did very
little to lift to help either showing up to committee
meetings, crafting legislation, but he was known for being
himself he was known for being a talking head,
I really implore all of you to read the, this town to Weddings
and a Funeral, whatever it's called Mark Leibovich Live,
which is very, very, very good book. And this is not lip
service that he's paying right here it is. I mean, he goes into
such detail about the eight holes walking around making
millions of dollars revolving in and out of consultancies. And I
mean, John, if you and I if we move to Washington, DC, and I
and I mean, guaranteed we could be millionaires. I believe
that's true. Just just biting him with this podcast. And of
course, you know, we'd be outrageous. You would the crocs
me with the dress. Oh, it's those guys. They know what's
going on there. So hip,
we get invited to a lot of parties and we schmooze?
Yeah. I've actually mentioned this to Mickey so we should we
should move to DC. She's like what? Yeah, that was that was
not that didn't go over too well,
but probably enjoy it because you could board it over there
shorties.
But there are people who think I shouldn't have it more. I've
been marking up my copy because on the on the Kindle. This is
one woman who always does a lunch. In fact, I think it was
her house. Where the First Lady was interrupted
remembered during the the role right of fake interruption for
the right right this is this is around the one of the scripted
interruptions and this is like this last one so
she always does a lunch and dinner the correspondents dinner
this is this is a lot of it revolves around this and how
Maria Bartiromo you know, she's like, everyone's like just like
sliding all over her. And you know, they just love the
Celebrate ease. It's really it's a stomach churning tome is what
it is. It is but it, but it for us for someone who's listened to
no agenda like, da No, this was what you mean, you don't hear me
I guess what was this on this? This particular clip?
This was on the news hour?
Oh, okay. No one watches it. No wonder all right. And then we
have the gridlock clip. What does that the same guy, that
gridlock
clip was just kind of one of these little clips I put on here
just in case we had gotten to something where I could put in.
But this is the same two guys. And they they discuss something
that reminds me of when I worked for the air pollution district
and a clip and I'll tell him my anecdote, and why I didn't
realize it. You know, people moan and groan about the
Republicans don't want to get anything done. The positive
thing is the way he portrays this, at least from his that I
think is the the other guy, the arrow took on the Tea Party, but
play this clip. And well, I'll tell you what,
and could you then then shake your computer a bit, maybe
that'll help with the cutting edge
or a lot of public figures who point with pride to all the
things that haven't been able to get done. Thanks to me. Yeah,
it's a it's a new yardstick?
Well, yeah, because the unit of measurement I think that
Democrats traditionally use is how many bills were passed. And
for the freshman class of the 112th. Congress who are now now
that in their sophomores, the ones who were still around
anyway, they say that's not the that's not the right way to
measure things. Government has already regulated too much. It's
already passing too many spending bills, the less the
better. So their view is that the obstructionism is precisely
what they ought to be doing. Gridlock is a good thing.
Yeah, well, these guys are just part of the problem. Obviously,
they're just everybody's their real part of it. Yeah, they're
really part
of it. But so I remember when I was working for the government,
and we would, we had cars they give us cars to take home and
you jumped in the car you were at work. And so we would spend a
lot of time eating coffee meetings different coffee shops
never went into the office. Sometimes you go shop and so you
go shopping and then once in a while some would have like the
the low of the operation on the side of the car to get try to
get those often nobody knew where you worked. And they
didn't see was a state plate but then you were at the at the mall
shopping. And everyone's vote somebody get busted for this.
Very good, big memo about No, you can't do fewer shopping on
any time they should be working. And I always our attitude was
that when you're working, generally speaking, you're
making somebody's life miserable. There, there's a
number of the inspectors would go out and they find somebody to
hate. And then they'd hound him, and they dog him and then he'd
be because now he'd be spending all this time on this one guy.
So you're telling me this is exactly what we always think
about the government is that you use you pick on someone and it's
exactly the truth.
Yeah, we had this one guy who leads love picking on people.
And he would just be we talked about him. He said, This guy's
you know,
it's really hard to I mean, you're cutting out every third
word now.
I don't get well, we have to send them. We'll pick this up
where we left. It sucks.
I'm sorry. It's just I know. It's gonna be a good story. But
if you understand, yeah, sorry. I'm sorry, man. Hey, man. Hey,
hey, man. Hey, man.
Let me dress it's okay. I'm I'm good with it.
Let me let me put let me take everyone out on a high note.
Okay.
Garter belt garter belt.
Are you are you doing a twat today? No. Oh, because you could
have worn your crocs. Okay, they're Speedos, but that's the
same thing. It's an off brand crock. Alright, so this is
something I did not know. Did you know that rush limbaugh is
in big trouble that his ratings and this is for those who don't
know this is like a big blowhard guy who's been on the radio for
10 years in America. And he 1987
So it's longer than that.
He invented the genre. So
apparently, yes, he invented the Republican blowhard talk show
genre. Apparently his ratings are in the tank, cumulus media
wants to throw them off the flagship station in New York.
Did you know any of this? Yeah, yeah, it's like it's you know,
it's like a big this is like everyone in the talk show in the
radio. You should know this. You listen to all these shows.
Everyone in the Republican talk show circuit and your talk radio
is freaking out. Because you know, all of a sudden, he's not
so powerful anymore. And he had to like a was a 10 year Your
$400 million contract or something? Yeah. And so with
this in mind, why is it that I hear this just yesterday on CNN
Republican friends privately?
And by the way, sometimes they say to me privately, I agree
with you, but I'm worried about a primary from somebody in the
Tea Party back in my district, or I'm worried about what Rush
Limbaugh is gonna say about me on the radio. They're
playing. They're playing together. He's promoting him.
Yeah, sounds like it. He's totally promoting him when his
ratings are in the crapper.
