No
no Adam curry John C. Dvorak has Thursday, September 26 2013.
Time here getting on nation media assassination Episode
Five, five. This is no agenda, pitching a kill community in
France from the TRAPPIST hightide out here in the capital
of the golden star state Austin tea house in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry,
Silicon Valley I'm John C. Dvorak.
Wow, that was so spectacularly wrong. Everything messed up. Did
Yeah. Yeah. Like you did. So. Yes. So the jingles were
stuttering and all of a sudden you are like 18 DB.
ate dog biscuits.
Something was wrong. Can we go? See? Okay, so whenever we plan
to do something for whatever it is, we plan, it always fails.
No, it
doesn't always work. total failure, everything.
Every technical thing went wrong. Everything failed. It was
bad. Now well anyway, not only
do I have an operatic opening if we
do Yeah, we have we went that's exactly what we have.
So you know the story.
No, I don't know the story.
That's that's a Serb Greg. birches daughter. Yeah. who
apparently has been seeing most of her life as an opera singer.
Yes. And the only like found out about
you might go, who are you? What did you do with my kid?
So now he just always ceases dollar signs.
And he's coming to us to kick that off this collection of
bucks.
boy sees the dollar signs going out because she's young. She
needs to drink.
Obviously, going to Juilliard. Is that
the next step? Oh, that's probably one of the targets.
Wow.
I like it a lot. It's kind of cool. And she did a whole bunch
of other ones that we that we should pepper in from him from.
From time to time.
Yeah, yeah. It's pretty funny. But she's got a sweet voice. I
think she probably could be trained into becoming a star. We
get free tickets.
Ah, yes. Cops. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Just know someone
who's got a talented kid. That's how you go. That's the way to
roll. Oh, man. How you doing, John?
I'm doing fine. Oh, I will. Or is that uh, hello? In the
morning? No, that's
not I'm just asking you how you're doing it. I'm a little
upset. Okay, I would have to say kind of right off the bat. Well,
first of all, today is another ozone Action Day here in Austin.
What? Yes, it's an ozone Action Day.
What does that even mean? You can't use hairspray at the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality you should
know this is an air quality inspector. I'm surprised you do
not know what an ozone Action Day is.
It's bull crap. I can tell you that much. The
TC EQ that's a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has
issued an ozone Action Day for the Austin area for Wednesday,
September 25. And Thursday, September 26 2013. atmospheric
conditions are expected to be favorable for producing high
levels of ozone air pollution in the Austin area. And you can
help prevent ozone pollution on ozone Action Day by sharing a
ride walking or riding a bicycle taking your lunch to work
avoiding drive thru lanes conserving energy and keeping
your vehicle properly tuned.
What's your what is the taking a lunch to work have to do with
anything so
you don't go out? And you know, when you order a lunch then you
know it's gonna you're contributing to trucks driving
and you know killing people you're a bad human resource. So
that was kind of like a bummer because you know, I can't you
know, I have to carpool to work today. But the worst thing is
Monday and no one alerted me to this. I only got emails after
the fact and I'm flabbergasted that I was not invited. The
White House had their Bi Visibility day on Monday the
23rd and they They had a closed door round table which is just
beautiful irony for a bisexual,
so they were all closeted was it a closed closet door
Alright, sorry, but I don't know what was going on just all of a
sudden I'm talking to the mic and then I don't hear anything
anymore.
I didn't. Anyway, a sure you have a loose cut. Yeah, loose
connection. It
could be but I don't know. I'm wiggling the wires he slapped?
Yeah, but no, I kind of slap it. It's a brand new mic.
I want to mention everybody. So do not blow into a microphone.
Yeah, that is one of the worst things when people do that when
they like. They want to test the mic. Yes, you'll ruin the
diaphragm. Yeah, and it always shows you something as
you're falling apart. Yeah, no, I
can hear that. Thank you. Thank you for just saying thanks. Hey,
John. Why don't you give me a little Qs T report there buddy?
A seven dog biscuits over 10 know what's a Qs T report? Well,
I'm gonna read wild Adams fooling around with his
microphone. The report on kale.
So this is woman in France who apparently thinks she can change
French culture who wants to get them to eat kale too? I don't
know about you.
Yeah, maybe it is related to the power to the plug something you
gotta tell this kale story go
I'm just gonna say I don't know about you. Have you ever had
kale you know because there are healthy guys since kale.
Let me let me tell you something. I was we got the the
healthy surprise.com box of kale stuff. Now was this. No, no, we
this is what we use on it. No, no, I
still get my I don't get them anymore. I haven't gotten one.
Well, maybe
it's cuz you're like complaining about the contents? And maybe
not. Something was very wrong.
It's funny to listen to. Well, while you're just futzing around
your mic. Let me continue. Kale is terrible. It is one of the
most horrible tasting vegetables I don't even know why they
bother selling it. It's not worth cooking. They sell it at
the greengrocers it's impossible to make taste good. And all the
people out there that you know the vegans and the veggies and
all the rest of them. They did for some reason they've been
sold a bill of goods to eat
kale and to
and so they pretend to like it.
I have to say that we have had kale salad here in the house
recently.
And then you cut out for good
you want to start over?
No, I don't want to start over. I've unpause so we're back.
Okay, well did so you fix your microphone? No, I
haven't. But we'll see how long it lasts. It's that you sound
fine. Yeah, no, it's not that I don't sound fine. It's just all
of a sudden it'll cut out for no reason.
Well, I'll just put up with it. But I guess you can't. So I've
got I found I'm cleaning up the office. Yes. I found the oyster
bar menu from Grand Central Station from 2002.
And did it have kale on it?
Nope, there's no kale on here.
All right, so so what's the point of your menu?
I was just killing time here waiting for your microphone to
fail again now okay. No, no, don't worry. No. Okay, so let's
start this show off with something besides you cussing at
me on the Emmys.
Okay, can I just say no one heard you heard me cussing at
you on the show. That was that was not in the recording. Okay.
But when I'm using when I'm doing technical stuff, and I'll
just leave it at that when I'm doing technical stuff. It does
not help for you to be playing the harmonica and it's the it's
not even the harmonies play a song.
Okay, I just
like you squatting, you're wheezing?
I am wheezing. That wasn't the harmonic
All right, let's go let's get going here.
Our Emmys.
All right, Emmys. Does this mean there's a clip I need to get? I
got
a bunch of Emmys clips. Hold on a second. You did you watch the
Emmys? Yes, of course. I watched the Emmys. But that doesn't mean
you don't think it's something we should talk about. It's
worldwide audience of almost a trillion people.
In fact, they even stopped that line and now down to 30 million
because I heard the Neil Patrick Harris say it. He's like we're
being watched around the globe by 30 million people like wow,
that's a step down from the billion it used to be
that's probably what it is.
Yeah, now, I got a clip. I got one clip. The only clip that
matters.
Okay, play your clip then I'll play the clip of the day.
Okay. The bowl crap PR clip of course we teased it on the on
Sunday show a talking about how some veteran actors only
received they mentioned in the we're dead segment. Where's Cory
Monteith of Glee fame got a whole special montage that ended
with by the way done by his, his cast me to what's her name?
Yeah, the woman, the the, the blonde, big blonde lesbian.
What's her name?
I forgot her name. She's very funny though. She's great.
But you know, that's kind of how you have to characterize it if
you don't know her name, the big blonde, blonde, lesbian. And
here is how the segment ended and went into commercials
two part season premiere begins Thursday, September 26 on Fox,
so they blatantly use the dead kid to promote the season
premiere of Glee. That was my favorite.
That was on the internet. I don't think that was on the
show.
I don't not so sure. I think it was internet. And yeah, it was
sent to me by someone who says he recorded it himself.
Yeah, well, that wasn't on the show. It was on the internet. So
I thought that but isn't it true if it's on the internet?
It is absolutely true. They did a lot of promotion on the
network. But you know that thing was I mean that now they did a
lot of promotion but most of it was for the network I think was
what was at ABC or CBS that they were on I don't know. So here's
what I thought was the they had all these Oh, the best moment
with girl coming out and saying thank you for the award by I
gotta go and you know a couple of these other ones, but I think
the Matt Damon, it was an insult that nobody I don't know how
many people picked up on it, but I thought it was like a huge
insult or sneeze and I'm telling you Now's not the time to be
discouraged. Now's the time to leave. And the Emmy goes to
Laura Linney the big C hereafter. Laura couldn't be
here tonight. She's such a great actress. I need to show I know
she's she's working so we accept this on her behalf.
I thought that was one of the better ones actually. I like
that a lot.
You didn't think it was an insult? No, not at all. She says
you're great actress. You didn't need to show up. Yeah, no, no,
it's just It's Hollywood who came by Oh, I can't even believe
you're bringing this to the table.
Awkward gimmick on Emmys is another one.
Where's your clip of the week this is Oh, no, it did not come
to me winner Melissa Leo.
Okay, Huawei stop I had to set this up. So they had this you
saw this do you watch this at all apparently you didn't Oh
there goes your Mikey Yeah, I watched turn it on and off.
Okay. backup systems initiated sorry about the rough open there
but hey, this is what happens when you're doing a live show.
So talking about doing a live show and the humor involved
wait, there's more Emmys to talk about?
Well, I mean at that we're gonna watch these Emmys. You didn't
watch I watched the
Emmys. I just didn't think it was all that interesting. I
didn't I didn't think the Matt Damon slam was a matt damon slam
I saw very little you know, political things of any all
this really is annoying. How come somebody didn't come out
and say stop the wars. Stop the spying?
No, we're not going to do that. If it was, you know, this is
about Hollywood. We gotta we gotta be happy and bouncy and
jolly and all believe in smoking our own dope.
Well, it was annoying. Okay, so the last Okay, one crummy more
clip. All right. So this was this was. So the guy wins the
award for writing of one of the shows, homeland. And all these
people were kind of happy and they're looking with a bunch of
them to show the audience and they're all turning around
looking over for for Henry to come up to get the award.
They're looking, they're clapping, And the award goes
like this. Please welcome the Emmy winner Melissa Leo. Right.
This is enri gets me.
I'm sorry. You were setting up a previous clip. I'm so sorry.
Yeah, well, there's the hint here. It's the same. It's the
same goes to Henry Brahmo homeland. Henry, come on.
Henry tragically died earlier this year. Award is being
accepted by his wife Sarah Bromell. Yeah,
apparently nobody know all his buddies. You know all the
friends you have in Hollywood and no one showed up. No one
knew he
died. That's even worse.
Anyway. Okay, well you you didn't think any of that.
No, I look I thought it was a very interesting show i i liked
watching it you know, Mickey and I drank to Manhattan's got
completely hammered watching the show. And that was about all
it's a to Manhattan show. That's really all that it is.
Well, it wasn't very good. The opening segment you probably
didn't see that. But
John, I saw the whole thing. I just didn't get off on it. Like
the opening
session was terrible. Yeah, none of it was
good. The only thing that was good is when all of the is when
Kevin Spacey turned around and did this little chat and that
wasn't good. It was what he did was good. The what was not,
but then it didn't have any callbacks to it. What he
what was not good about him is his lips were dirty. He had all
kinds of like red wine smudge on his lips, and it was really
close up. And it was really not not a good look. This is not
this wasn't someone needs to work on that. But okay, enough
of
the handler he was there. It was with a man instead of his mom.
Wow. So you watch the red carpet as well. Apparently, what I did,
I did not see the real John C. Dvorak bring him back. So now
this does play into a clip that you played on Sunday show about
the new way the Chinese are going to be working with us if
you could paraphrase. Remember that clip we were talking about?
It was some politician? No. Yeah, you do. It was your clip.
It was some politician, some Chinese politician. And it was
about the new way of working between China and the United
States. You don't remember this? No. Wow. Okay, hold on. Let me
get the clip, then. Wow. You don't remember your own clip?
I remember the clip.
Okay. It's about
we're gonna be working on Chinese. This is a new new model
here
today, you can rest assured that I will not say sorry, again, no
matter what foreign policy questions you. Show me all. This
is a year of
great significance in China US relations. Georgia last June,
the two presidents Trump held a successful and historic meeting
in Annenberg estates, California.
The most important outcome is that China and the United States
agreed to build a new model of major country relations. You
know, there you go. So the new model, and we were trying to
figure out what it was and what did I say? I'm sure you don't
remember that either.
Yeah, you said that this was a crappy clip. And you had better
ones?
No. I said it was a great clip. This is wow, I'm calling back to
your clip, man. Come on, go.
Okay, well, just tell me what you said. just summarize,
instead of grilling me?
Well, I said this probably had something to do with Hollywood
or how the message about China was going to be communicated.
Right. And lo and behold, the next day news breaks of this
Chinese, the Chinese group called the Wanda Group, who,
I'll read it from the article who unwrapped an $8.2 billion in
investment fund for movies. They're building this huge lot
in Queen Dow. That's in northeastern China. And they had
this huge ceremony with and everyone was there. Leonardo
DiCaprio, Nicole Kidman, Harvey Weinstein, they got a 10,000
square meter film studio 19 post production pre production
facilities. Travolta was there Ewan McGregor Kate backings
usual subs says oh, yeah, they were all there but in Yeah,
having Harvey there. That's when you really got to know that this
has happened and an $8 billion fund. They basically just bought
Hollywood at least for the next couple of years. And if you
think Hollywood isn't isn't prone to
dancing to the drop of a hat. i You should look at sold out to
the Nazis.
I was gonna say if you if you Google around, you can see that
Hollywood did a lot of scrubbing of historical and current events
to appease the Nazis who were helping to pay for a lot of
Hollywood's early work.
Yeah, no, they have no there's nothing to
shame. No shame.
No shame. That's the word.
So this guy this one to outfit he already owns something they
already own. One of they own. They own I think they own some
oh here A $1 billion investment five star hotel in New York. I
think they they bought the some theater chain, didn't they?
That's really what you want. You want that you want the movie
theaters and you want the production kind of what Sony
tried to do.
They Well, that's an old model that was busted years ago. And
then they kind of tried to sneak it back into play. Yeah. Which
is the vertical integration where you had Fox the fox
movies, Fox Theater, right? You know, everything up and down.
That's about time the Chinese make the mistake.
But, you know, the problem was always the problem. Always the
problem with this sort of thing. Is that what comes out as junk?
Yeah, well, let's see they. They've already produced some
movies. Keanu Reeves, his directorial debut MAN OF TAI
CHI. Police Story 2013 with Jackie Chan. Oh, guess that's
the same movie. I guess. That's MAN OF TAI CHI Police Story 2013
with Jackie Chan. That's Keanu Reeves. His directorial debut
that should be worth watching.
And the Monkey King uproar in heaven 3d. This guy's getting
soaked. Yeah, no
this you have well Hollywood is good at that. We have to admit
Hey, man,
I can get you a date with you know fill in the blank hot
actress? If if you find my movie
that so anyway, so the Emmys were a bust?
Yeah, well, no, I thought they were very entertaining to watch.
But I didn't I didn't really think there was anything that
that came back. I was like, wow, this is no good. Which is
why I was I'm in agreement with you on the basis of the failure
for the Hollywood community to speak out against their their
leader their ruler, you know, hair Obama and say something
about the spying because everybody else is bitching about
I have to say even even though there's it's kind of weird to
watch the Obama bots on democracy now have to deal with
the realities of the situation they had. Jeremy Scahill, who's
to me is just hilarious to watch on the show. Because he just
blast a blasts Obama there's a good clip that I saw. There's on
the yesterday show. Scahill came out to discuss Obama's speech
before the UN and I it was the, it was funny, yes, this clip is
blast Obama speech, Obama
told the world, the US is prepared to use its military to
defend what he called, quote, our core interests in the Middle
East, that is us access to oil.
The United States of America is prepared to use all elements of
our power, including military force, to secure our core
interests in the region. We will confront external aggression
against our allies and partners as we did in the Gulf War, we
will ensure the free flow of energy from the region to the
world.
I have that whole clip by the way of everything you said it
was great.
That was President Obama speaking yesterday at the UN
General Assembly Jemmy, your response to what Obama said in a
speech
with during this section speech, my jaw sort of hit the floor. I
mean, he just he basically came out and said, The United States
is an imperialist nation. And we're going to do whatever we
can to conquer areas to take resources from people around the
world. I mean, it was a really naked sort of declaration of
imperialism. And I don't use that word lightly. But it really
is. I mean, he, he pushed back against the Russians, when he
came out and said, I believe America is an exceptional
nation. He then, you know, defended the Gulf War and
basically said that the motivation behind it was all it
was about oil, and said, We're going to continue to take such
actions in pursuit of securing natural resources for ourselves
and our allies. It's very interesting. And I'm glad this
actually transitions very nicely John into the two clips I have
from the President's United Nations speech. And it's very
typical of Democracy Now, I think even in this context, to
only play like a very, very short clip, because there was so
much more egregious talk coming out of the man's pie hole. It
was stunning. Did you see the whole thing?
It was horrible? Oh, my
God here is so there's I have two clips. I just had to break
it up into two pieces. And by
the way, we escaped a Scahill does mention this. I don't have
it on this clip. But he does mention that just before Obama
came out it was the president of Brazil, the woman who just
excoriated yes us for spying on her she canceled. The meeting
cancelled wasn't just a meeting. It was one of those massive
state dinners where they know the big dinner where they put
the tents out. Oh, and we're Stevie Wonder performs? Well,
that kind of Yes. Exactly. Giant Gala. And she says, no, she
bails. They have to cancel it.
And this was also the first I think female visit of the
stature of this size, wasn't it? Maybe not being so I think so.
Although Merkel Must have been given this treatment already.
Well, Merkel's a different topic
on today's program. So anyway, and by the way, what is this has
always bothered me This background at this US un podium,
the black granite. Yeah, tiles looks like a bathroom and it's
in a really dodgy like 80s.
He looks Krause it looks.
Yeah, I don't understand why they use that. So here is
the president, they should paint a green screen behind. Yeah,
that would make
it would make it a lot nicer. Here's our president, throwing
out a middle finger and fu to Russia.
Our agreement on chemical weapons should energize a larger
diplomatic effort to reach a political settlement within
Syria. I do not believe that military action by those within
Syria or by external powers can achieve a lasting peace. Nor do
I believe that America or any nation should determine who will
lead Syria, that is for the Syrian people to decide.
Nevertheless, a leader who slaughtered his citizens and
gassed children to death 10 cannot regain the legitimacy to
lead a badly fractured country.
I just gotta stop here for one moment, because this is not
proven. The UN report did not say that he gassed children in
their sleep. There has been no empirical evidence of slaughter.
And so I thought this was a little bit out there on the
lying tip for our president to be saying this, but okay.
Well, we you know, you should also mention the there's a there
are some clips now showing how they launched these things. And
it looks like the rebels. It was some really crude systems. Were
the ones behind this more this is looking more and more like
that about you know, that you don't know, we have no clue.
Well, all we do know is that the United Nations report which we
analyze and marked up and it's in the show notes, you can find
it search.na shownotes.com That did not put the blame on anyone.
And the couple of things it didn't do is it did not they did
no testing for sarin on victims only on survivors. Why is beyond
me. And they took very, very small samples had no and they
presume that the BM 14 missile was launched from from a system
that I guess the Assad regime has kept around for 45 years.
Because that's how old that system is. Okay? Regardless,
let's just say he gassed
children in their sleep, the notion that Syria can somehow
return to a pre war status quo is a fantasy. It's time for
Russia and Iran, to realize that insisting on Assad's rule will
lead directly to the outcome that they fear.
I like that though. Let's let's put Russia in with Iran. That's
good. That's rockin it,
an increasingly violent space for extremists to operate.
By the way, the word slaughter, John, the definition is I think
the real definition is butchering for food. Is it not?
I don't know that.
Yeah, let me see. Well, the second definition is killing of
great numbers of human beings, of course, define great, but the
first, the first definition is, is the specifically the
butchering, of livestock for market. So I don't think he was
eating his people when he slaughtered them. And
it's just in turn, those of us who continue to support the
moderate opposition side, let's persuade them that the Syrian
people cannot afford a collapse of state institutions.
Okay. So of course, then I went to look up the all the news
about the President and our support of the Syrian
opposition, we now have fact sheets. To us. Yes. Just
to interrupt you for a second. The definition slaughter is
actually the number one definition is the killing of
people, the brutal killing of a person or large numbers. So Oh,
that is the number one. It is in this dictionary.
Here's the facts us humanitarian assistance. In response to the
Syrian crisis, the President just announced an additional
$339 million in humanitarian aid to the rebels for the ongoing
crisis in Syria bringing our total to John had. Do you have
any idea?
5050? What if the dead
know how much money we've sent to Syria to the rebels? How much
Oh,
how much money we've got, let me guess. 2.5 billion now, not
quite that, but $1.4 billion, do much. And I remember, like less
than half a year ago. It was like, I think one day before
Hillary resigned. I regret the day before Hillary resigned. It
was like, you know, we're sending 35 million humans these
little like this just a little bit we're sending. How do you
get? How did it get to $1.4 billion.
That's because we're sending My weapons will I'll
tell you, it will not just that but the relief. Doesn't this is
a bonanza, by the way. It doesn't just go to Syria. No,
no. So Syria inside Syria 161 million, but then we've given 74
million to Lebanon 48 million to Jordan and 24 million to Iraq,
25 million to Turkey, 6 million to Egypt. Apparently they're
helping out, Tina, but it's for like refugee assistance. And
this is this is an incredible Bonanza that all these NGOs,
which I'm really am starting to load, anytime someone says they
work for an NGO, I just want to walk away. It's just it's
soaking up, you know, public resources for bull crap. And
then, here's the provision of defense articles and services to
vetted members of the Syrian opposition for use in Syria to
prevent the use or proliferation of chemical weapons and related
materials. This is from the from the Federal Register, this is
stuff you never see about on the news. So I guess they have a
vetting process. And they go in and this is the president by
authority vested in me, I determined that the transaction
encompassing the provision of defense articles and defense
services to vetted members of the Syrian opposition
organizations implementing US Department of State or US AI D
programs inside or related to Syria
vetted
do they vet them? Like they vet the Navy Yard shooter? Is that
how they vet the Syrian opposition? So
yeah, you just get some friendly Yeah, okay. Good job. Hey, yo,
before we get off too far away from what you started this
conversation about, which is the the gassing I think we should
play this clip just because Obama went into it, you know,
blamed the Russians and all the rest of it and made a scene I
think we should at least get a little background for self play
the interesting gassing Iranian Iranian story are
getting your PhD now here in New York at New York University, and
you've been looking at chemical weapons. Of course, a big issue
is around support of Syria. In a recent headline, we reported
that Newly disclosed CIA files show the United States provided
critical intelligence to help Iraq, Saddam Hussein launch
chemical weapons, a chemical attack on Iran and the waning
days of the Iran Iraq War, the United States provided Saddam
Hussein with satellite imagery showing Iran was poised to
exploit a hole in Iraq's military positioning the US gave
Iraq the location of Iranian troops, despite knowing Saddam
Hussein would use nerve gas the attacks killed anywhere from
hundreds to 1000s of Iranians, you're doing a film on the
effects of the chemical attacks on Iranians? How much of that is
understood? For example, the release CIA?
Who is she talking to me, she's gonna get the question in.
She's nice to talk. Wow,
who is who's going to answer tell me
this woman is a filmmaker from Iran. And she actually before
this came up as I could have clipped a lot of her. She had an
analysis of the of the we're trying to get closer to the US
and make friends because she says that, and she believes
there's some sincerity here that we have to take seriously,
because it's getting to the point in Iran. And she's from
there. She says that there's a chance of a riot, you know, or
even an overthrow of the government that governments
because people now their prices for drugs in particular, of all
things pharmaceuticals, has just gone through the roof so they
just get an aspirin. It cost you a fortune.
Oh, but I'm sure that's just being gouged. You know, that's
the humanitarian aid we're sending in someone inside Syria
is jacking up the price. I'm sure this is this is in Iran.
Oh, Iran. Sorry, Iran,
Iran says is just completely out of control. Because apparently
they we finally put an embargo thing together that works. And
it's causing problems and so they want to bail out and they
want to dig and then they talked about recommending that other
guy recommend a jog back previous guy hack Medina jog
act, Virginia jawed never get us role
in this and how to Iranians feel about this.
You know, it's very interesting because the first sort of known
attack that that's known in Iran where chemical weapons was used
was 1981 and 1984, the homemade Ayatollah Khomeini at the time
and the Iranian leadership appealed to the United Nations
and said that we need investigations to happen in Iran
because we believe that there have been chemical weapons used
here. Three official investigations took place in the
night in the mid 1980s. And although there was significant
evidence found and reported to the United Nations, that
chemical weapons had been used by the Iraqis in the war, all
three investigations were ignored by the international
body. This is very well recorded in Iran and then also post 2003
after the US invaded Iraq. Actually, many more documents
came to the surface at that time as well, since Saddam Hussein
had left power. All right.
She goes on and she talks about the Kurds. And so this is
bullcrap. We are like as much responsible for these sorts of
things. As anyone and me. Well, we're talking a big game. Oh,
yeah.
Okay, so let me go back to hold on a second. I'm
back to the speech.
Yeah, hold on a sec. I'm just trying to get my levels up here
a little bit. I don't know what's going on. Almost. All
right. It's just a little on the fly. I'm trying to get an
engineer to do this for me. While I'm on the show, so I
don't have to do all that. Back to the so back to the United
Nations speech. Here's the piece that Jeremy Scott hit a scale
scale, scale, scale, scale scale was talking about that with that
they just played a very, very short clip of, and I actually
when when I heard this, and Miss Mickey was in the kitchen, she's
like, Oh, my God, what is he saying? And that's when I had
to, to introduce her into Team America, the movie, which she
has not seen yet. And I just played it found a couple of
YouTube clips, I said, this is this is really what this is.
This is Team America. And whenever someone says, we're not
trying to be this, we don't we don't want to be that we're not
doing that you better well believe that's exactly what he
is doing.
Let me take this opportunity to outline what has been US policy
towards the Middle East and North Africa.
Let's talk about the policy everyone get their notebooks
out, and what will
be my policy during the remainder of my presidents?
Okay. The United States of America is prepared to use all
elements of our power, including military force. You're our core
interests in the reach, what are the core interests we will
confront external aggression against our allies and partners
as we did in the Gulf War. We will ensure the free flow of
energy from the region to the world
this by the way I think is beautiful because he kind of
dropped that whole free flow of energy thing and now it's back
and he actually expands on it.
Yeah, he's he's finding these all useful,
like a steadily reducing our own dependence on imported oil. The
world still depends on the region's energy supply. Okay,
severe disruption could destabilize the entire global
economy. Oh,
okay. That makes sense. Hello, Team America, we can have the
entire global economy disrupted because of some crazy guy who's
gassing children in their sleep now, can we?
We will dismantle terrorist networks that threaten our
people. Ah, wherever possible, we will build the capacity of
our partners, respect the sovereignty of nations, and work
to address the root causes of terror. But when it's necessary
to defend the United States against terrorist
attack, we will come in and kick your sorry ass,
we will take direct action. That's what I said. And finally,
we will not tolerate the development or use of weapons of
mass destruction,
which as we know is defined as pretty much a pressure cooker.
That says we consider the use of chemical weapons in Syria to be
a threat to our own national security. We reject the
development of nuclear weapons that could trigger a nuclear
arms race in the region and undermine the global Non
Proliferation regime.
So this this is the piece that is that really is just kind of
saying right there we are the police you need to shut up and
do as we say you cannot defend yourself you cannot have any
type of new I mean there's no yeah there's the there is a
global kind of Proliferation Treaty but nothing that says
that weird that we're supposed to be stopping that or Am I nuts
that I miss a some kind of agreement somewhere John?
Yeah, you're nuts. They agreed on this numerous times that day,
the world gave us control of everything. And what document is
that kind of can I think that's the behind closed doors document
the one
they had at the BI visualization day okay, good got it. This is
New World Order at work here's
what this is. And by the way, George HW Bush started this
whole yes
and by the way the the pauses are president takes in the
speeches it's one beat too long.
No, I cut them out.
It's Oh no, I didn't cut them out.
I do I cut them out. Because I play these things and I go oh my
god, this is horrible. But you need guys pauses it sounds like
you've gone off the air. It's dead air.
But it's important for the context that we that we have
2020 More
seconds and pauses work. I don't think they do him any good. They
just is as though he's just a slow talker. No,
he doesn't. That doesn't do him any good. But I like playing him
in in falling context. So you can use it. It's not wedding,
it's not working.
Now, to say that these are America's core interest is not
to say that they are only interest.
Okay, what else is there
we deeply believe it is in our interests to see a Middle East
and North Africa that is peaceful and prosperous. Hi,
Robert, can you promote democracy and human rights and
open markets? Because we believe these practices achieve peace
and prosperity?
There you go. I thought it was a very aggressive stance. I did
not appreciate the president speaking that way that we are
going to basically just be the boss and mess you up. And we're,
you know, the foundations of terrorism is everyone that was
like hello beyond notice. We are here. We've got the biggest army
in the world and we are out for blood. You know what's
annoying? What as probably more annoying to me than it is to
you. When I was a kid in school, we all we there was the Russians
were going to bomb us any minute and you had to go under your
desk and do all these steps a very similar was going on
covered duck and duck and cover same thing as the scare scare
the public now, and we're kind of it was almost drummed into us
that the reason we had to be so aggressive, especially with the
Russians, is because if those guys actually gotten hold of a
power, they would become big world class bullies. And then
and when you listen to the Russians talk, they said the
same thing about us. They said all we the only reason we're
here is because the Americans will be these horrible bullies
because they can't control themselves because they never
used to be a military until World War Two and really that
militaristic and then they got, they got they got full of
themselves, right, which we did. And the Russians are right.
Yeah, I mean, there's no evidence, the Russians always
said, No, we weren't, we aren't gonna do that. There's no
evidence, we don't know, they probably wouldn't be the same
eight holes that we've become. I mean, it seems as though but you
don't know. But we know now for a fact that we've become this
world class. We're just a bunch of big bullies. And that's why I
think bullies, by the way, is on the agenda for things to like,
completely, you know, bitch and moan about because it's a
fractal of our giant persona. Well, since
you bring that up, and before we go into thanking anybody,
there's two documents that I have in our bullying folder
under clips and stuff in the show notes, 551 dot N A
shownotes.com. Two things one. And by the way, when I was
marking these, I was marking up a whole bunch of PDFs, like the
day before yesterday, and I'm sitting my office I'm like, you
know, and I got like legal documents from the EU and this
is a, a bullying, harassment or intimidation reporting form from
Rockville, Maryland County Public Schools. And like, if
anyone ever finds this and they see all this, I'm like the
Unabomber man, I'm like a Ted Kaczynski disciple sticking
notes and marking this stuff up so people can get it from our
show notes and read it. You know, they gotta watch it. If he
was such a quiet man, he really kept to himself in the
neighborhood. All right, this is a form you can fill out or you
as a parent can fill out if your kid has been bullied. And I just
wanted to read some of this one of our parenting producer sent
this to us, just so you know exactly what it is and what is
being discussed here. Directions for this form is a form it's a
two page form. You can fill out with the person reporting the
incident the names of alleged offenders, and witnesses.
bullying, harassment or intimidation are serious and
will not be tolerated. This is a form to report alleged bullying,
harassment or intimidation that occurred on school property at a
school sponsored activity or event off school property, on a
school bus or on the way to Endor from school in the current
school year. If you're a student victim, the parent guardian of a
student victim close relative school staff member you can
report this anonymously Of course, although you have they
asked you to put your name in a bullying harassment or
intimidation means intentional conduct. This is important that
we understand what it is including verbal, physical, or
written conduct or an intentional electronic
communication that creates a hostile educational environment
by substantially interfering with the student's educational
benefits, opportunities or performance or with a student's
physical or psychological well being and is motivated motivated
by an actual or perceived personal characteristic,
including race, national origin, marital sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, religion, ancestry, physical attributes,
socio economic status, familial status, or physical or mental
ability or disability or threatening or serious
intimidation. When you read this list, socio economic status,
essentially Eddie Murphy should be arrested posture. Post his
his gig he's not dead. No, I was gonna say posthumously but who
knows? When the funding is bit from Eddie Murphy's stand up
raw? I think it was. It's when the kids are teasing like, you
know, I've got an ice cream you don't have an ice cream because
you are under welfare. Come on, man. That's funny. No, no, but
now you can't make any jokes about anything funny that Oh,
come on. It's a great bit you've seen the bit, haven't you know?
Alright, so then you have to describe the there's multiple
choice place an X next to the statement that best describes
what happened. choose all that apply. So this is where they
really break it down. Teasing name calling, making critical
remarks or stray away. Wait, wait, wait. Yeah, thank you.
Less. That's bullying, teasing name calling. Making critical
remarks about demeaning and making critical
remarks. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I find that haircut of
yours to be deplorable. I'm
going to report you for bullying. Then we have demeaning
and making the victim of jokes. So now now you can use to be you
are the brunt of the joke. Now you're the victim of the joke.
Because the joke is a killer. Victim of jokes. Or John
bullying. Here's another checkbox excluding or rejecting
the student. So now you can't you can't reject. Yeah, they
wouldn't let me play ball. This is horrible. Yes. It says going
on right now.
I was in the show notes. Yes.
Yes. marked up with my Ted Kaczynski. discipled arrows.
Spreading harmful rumors or gossip. Gossip? I don't know
what's harmful rumors or gossip? What? Is it harmful?
Well, if you if you I don't know. I could see it.
Please. Yeah, I mean, substitute. All right, and then
making rude and or threatening gesture. So I can't throw anyone
the finger anymore.
No, you're a bully.
Cyber bullying. Okay.
Cyber bullying is such bull. Yeah,
it is bullying. And then anything related to the students
perceived sexual orientations. Hey, you fag can't say that be
bullying. So, you know, it's fine if we all want our kids to
grow up like this. But as we will discuss later in the show
there, you know, this is well underway, actually, as part of
Common Core. And I want to leave that until a little bit later,
because there's quite a lot to discuss. Did you do anything on
that? Did you look at that email.
So I couldn't hear you. Okay, good.
What ties into this, though, is new legislation that came in
from the United States of Europe. And this is mind
boggling. This is the European Framework, national national
statute for the promotion of tolerance. This document is
submitted with a view to being enacted by the legislature's of
European states. So this is the way the European Union works,
you get a whole bunch of consultants and they all get
together, and then they write some law. And then you have the
Commission who can introduce a law and then the law, you know,
can be passed on the globe. And unlike a European level, but the
whole thing is it has to be enacted by the states and they
typically do. So this document is if you are living in Euro
land, you should be frightened by this document. And they start
off with a number of assumptions as as do all good European Union
documents, whereas respect for human dignity is based on
recognition of human diversity and the inherent right of every
person to be different. Do you already feel where this is
going, John?
Well, one way is going I'm going to tell you, which I don't think
you've contemplated is the kind of lawsuits that keep cropping
up in California, where somebody is, like, for example, is
looking for a job as a frontman, cashier or a maitre d. And their
face is covered with tattoos and piercings. Right. And they sue
because they won't get that it didn't get the job because of
their looks.
And and this fantastic it kind of plays into this. Because this
is where we are headed. And I think that the EU is
by the way, by the way, this is also harkens back to the guy,
that dipshit guy who sued Hooters Yeah. Because they
wouldn't hire him. Well, not only that as a big titted
waitress Yeah,
well, but the waitress is no longer have big boobs because
the whole concept was ruined, because of the same things like
there was a flat chested woman who wanted to work at Hooters
and she sued. Right now go into a Hooters. What do you see? Man?
Oh, man. I've not been in a while honestly,
you can't do themes anymore.
theme restaurants are out. All right, be it therefore enacted
as follows We have a couple of definitions first a group,
because this is what it's all about you cannot be disparaging
groups. A group is of course a number of people joined by
racial cultural or cultural roots, ethnic origin, descent,
religious affiliation, linguistic links, gender
identity, so I could be a group I could call myself by curious
sexual orientation or any other characteristics of a similar
nature. So right there, you could have a group of tattooed
face people, and they could be a group. And you cannot group
label these people group label means this is law that's going
to be enacted by all these European countries, defamatory
comments made in public and aimed against a group as defined
in paragraph a. That is the group we just talked about. So
tattoo face guys, or members thereof, with a view to
slandering the group the group or holding it to ridicule or
subjecting it to false charges. explanatory notes. So this is
this is going to be good news.
This is good news for Fox. Why? Because they're always the
Democrats are always slandering Fox and Rush Limbaugh and
they're part of a group.
Interestingly, this is not the examples they give here. Well as
an example, the definition covers blood libels and anti
semitic slurs as well as allegations ie illegal would be
gypsies or thieves, or Muslims are terrorists. This will not be
illegal to say in Europe, in public what's illegal in Europe,
it will be a witness isn't a will be okay, and I have some of
the penal stuff as well.
What are you going to do about it? I keep reading.
I'll tell you in a moment, I'll tell you in a moment for sure.
It must be understood that the group libel may appear to be
aimed at members of the group in a different time or place so
even if you go back in time, and say something about disparaging
about this group that happened 100 years ago, it can still be
seen as group libel, which will be outlawed.
Whoa, that means that the Armenians can no longer bitch
and moan about the Turks again can't say anything bad about Pol
Pot funny gets bad gets the what's his name off the hook.
It's funny again, not an example used here, but I will get there
some good examples tolerance. This is what this is all about.
This is the tolerance
legislation second, hold on a second. What about the Nazis?
Well,
we're gonna get to that in a moment. Tolerance. This is about
tolerance. John we have to understand learn and we have to
express tolerance. Tolerance means respect for an acceptance
of the expression, preservation and development of the distinct
identity of a group as defined in paragraph a. This definition
is without prejudice the principle of coexistence of
diverse groups within a single society. explanatory note
coexistence of diverse groups with a single within a single
society requires inter alia across the board, some knowledge
of local language as a means of communication with authorities
and social environment. This is not to be overlooked. So if you
want to be seen as a group, you do have to integrate somewhat,
and at least be able to speak the local language or have some
knowledge of local language otherwise, you're just gonna
know then then all bets are off. The purpose of the statute is to
promote tolerance within society without weakening the common
bonds, tying together a single society. We want to foster
tolerance between different societies, eliminate hate
crimes, condemn all manifestations of intolerance
based on bias, bigotry and prejudice, which is pretty much
a removal of freedom of speech. It doesn't say that I'm
paraphrasing. No, it totally is and to take concrete action to
combat intolerance, in particular with a view to
eliminating racism, color bias, ethnic discrimination, religious
intolerance, totalitarian ideologies, xenophobia, anti
semitism, anti feminism and homophobia. explanatory notes,
ethnic discrimination is understood to cover anti Roma
activities. anti semitism is listed as a separate subset
since it crosses the lines of various subsets. It is certainly
not confined to religious intolerance, as in conversion
did not save Jews from extermination under the Nazis.
You know what this is leading to? You will now I'm going to
I'm just going to skip ahead here. You will no longer be
allowed to deny the Holocaust in public. It says it here.
Literally.
Now Can do. Okay.
There's a small problem with that. You know, you start with
that. And then you know, what is it next? You can't deny climate
change?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Well, that that would be in there. But
since we're dealing with people and personalities, it sounds to
me as though you can't criticize anything at all. Well,
even better than that a
nasty new criticize a play that stinks. Not a group of people.
Yeah,
they're all part of it. No, no, you cannot.
They're in a cast. They're all part of a subset, which would be
defined in this in this loss of the play, the play that you paid
money to see, stinks. You can't say it stinks. You the way I
read it, the way I understand it, it's against the law. To do
that,
I think I think you can absolutely define it that way.
There's a couple more explanatory notes in here. And
then and actually, there's, interestingly enough, for some
reason, they list the human rights as determined by the
European Union again, in this document, and I'm always wary of
that. Because it, it can also be seen, as you know, later on,
it's like, well, in this document, we redefined the human
rights in Europe. So here does say you have freedom of
expression, freedom of religion and believe freedom of
association with other members of the group with a view to
promoting its special culture, which is interesting. So you can
associate with other members of a group as long as it's to
promote your special culture, way of life, religion or
language, not if you'd like doing anything else, freedom of
movement, right to privacy. And then interestingly new I think,
right to housing, right to work and right to medical care and
social insurance. These are all human rights. Now in the EU.
It's nice to see them to find this way. In the order of public
good news for the squatters, yes.
It must be understood that you do have the right to
demonstrate. However, this need not be tolerated when these
demonstrations are likely to degenerate into riots or
infringe on the rights of others. And I don't know what
likely means other than every one
of them is likely. Thank you, John.
Another example is that given the need to fight crime, persons
may not be allowed to cover their faces in public. I love
that one. You
can no that's a gym. That's a little little little little
Jimmy there. Okay, so Kennedy slip that one in
who's going to police all this? It will be the national
tolerance monitoring commission, an independent body composed of
Eminent Persons,
you know, you just getting on this EU gravy train and all
these various commissions and sub commissions beautiful,
it's beautiful. If we don't, what we should do is we should
pack up, move to Brussels, Brussels and live in luxury for
the rest of our lives consulting, just consulting.
I bet you the restaurants and I haven't been to Brussels for a
number of years, but I'll bet you over time the restaurant
scene in Brussels has gone through the roof. Yes, of
course. It's
fantastic.
I'm sure there's wine and food and
you know, Mickey Mickey used shady ladies of Russian hookers
galore, Mickey used to live there. And she can show us
everything she knows the ropes she speaks the language. I think
you speak some French anyway. So this body will be composed of
Eminent Persons What does Eminent Persons mean? That would
be us? Seriously What is eminent we're not Eminent Persons I'm
sure what what is
well known famous. Eminent, your eminent you're in your fields
celebrate he's, he's topped up but you have to be tops in your
field. Celebrities.
I love it. Okay. vested with the authority to promote tolerance.
The Commission will be empowered to issue general guidelines,
specific recommendations, expressed views, disseminate
guidelines, foster international cooperation, okay, then we go to
and I'm almost done. Penal sang sanctions, the following acts
will be regarded as criminal offenses punishable as
aggravated crimes. So now it will be a crime here they are
hate crimes as defined in section one we discussed
incitement to violence against a group as defined in section one.
So if I can just say, hey, you know, we should cream those
actors that could be incitement to violence, group libel, overt
approval of a totalitarian ideology. Well, that would be
basically saying, Go Obama. But okay, go EU go EU. And here it
is, public approval or denial of the Holocaust. That is that is
there there in the in the list of top six, public approval or
denial of any other acts of genocide, the existence of which
has been determined by an international criminal court or
tribunal. So that's interesting. And not that I want to go around
saying that Holocaust didn't happen, but it will become
against the law. And that is where it gets a little tricky. I
think. And by the way free legal aid will be offered to victims
of crimes irrespective of qualification so if you feel
that you have been hate if someone has hate speech to you,
you can get free legal aid to go and sue that guy and get him
thrown in jail this is beautiful Alright, so how are we going to
come in here no whole thing is coming to you oh yes oh yeah we
use just a testing grant is beta it's all it's New World Order in
beta or as they would say their betta betta Yes. Okay,
we're going to the government shall ensure that schools from
primary levels upwards will introduce courses encouraging
students to accept diversity and promoting a climate of tolerance
as regards the qualities and cultures of others. Yeah, this
is really worked out well this multicultural thing I've we've
seen it in Scandinavia, I've witnessed it myself in the
Netherlands. And teaching materials for tolerance
awareness courses. This is where the money comes in. John will be
developed by Departments of Education to meet the needs this
oh man, we can make so much money with our tolerance
podcast.
Oh, we need to tolerance podcast
instructions, instructors will be trained so we can train
podcasters in a manner qualifying them to train others
so you get trainers of trainers to train the
ultimate people with the old pyramid scheme. This is the way
John four levels of this shit. Great. The production of books
plays newspaper reports, magazine articles, films and
television programs promoting a climate of tolerance will be
encouraged and were necessary, subsidized by the government.
Hello bonanza. We need to go make movies and TV shows in
Europe. I'm liking this the government shall ensure that
public broadcasting stations will devote a prescribed
percentage of their program to promoting a climate of
tolerance. This is so this is this is this is just great. Now,
the government so the government shall encourage all mass media
public as well as private to adopt an ethical code of conduct
which will prevent the spreading of intolerance and will be
supervised by a mass media Complaints Commission. All
right. I got it I get to play it now. Iron Rand this whole
document is about 12 pages. You can find it in your show notes
at 551 dot n a show notes.com happy to bring this to you. As a
part of our show notes.
The mass media complaint commission.
That's right, this will be great. And that includes the
internet by the way, it will include the internet, that is
mass media, the mass media complaint commission, and this
is how it's gonna go this is your bullying. This is your
you're not allowed to say anything mean, you cannot be a
meanie anymore, which pretty much puts you out of travel to
the EU John C. Dvorak just not allowed to go. Hello, everyone.
Anyway, I'd like to breathe you a big in the morning, John C.
Dvorak.
Yeah, well, that's depressing. But I'll say in the morning to
you, Adam curry also in the morning fellowships to see boots
on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all the
games and nights out there.
Yes. And also in the morning to our producers who have been
very, very patient with us today. Going through some
technical issues in the beginning, because if you're
listening to the podcast, you only heard a little bit of it,
and they they stuck in there for half an hour. There are no
agenda stream.com no agenda chat.net Also, thank you to our
artists. I messed up and I forgot to thank Rob Liddell, who
did the artwork for us on Episode Five, four Niner Thorin
did 550 And We highly appreciate all the work that our artists
do. Rob was really crushed even though you know he got the
credits in the show notes you know, he was crushed Yeah, he
was like I finally something got accepted and then I listened and
then I didn't hear anyone thank me. Well, this is big.
That's what happens when you start thanking people. Yeah,
that's true. You set a bad precedent is very
bad, but we do appreciate it no agenda our generator.com is
where you can find all of our submissions please go over
there. And and since I'm in for the show, it's it's a fun kind
of competition and it can bring you
Well we do have a few for executive producers to thank for
show 551 including we got left off I look back over the email I
sent Eric and it was one of the check it was came in with the
with the checks. But the Duke of mystery sir Dwayne melon song Oh
from Tigard Oregon. Came in with $399.96 Oh nice is that which is
66 dot 66 Time Six Six sack
of sixes time the sack, six xx sixes.
So you got a bunch of sixes in there. The thing was, and he
does have a note here, I'll read. I just wanted to drop you
a note to say maybe a couple of interesting things here. First
of all, Adam may be an Ambien porn producer. I read the
Ambien. He may be producing porn without knowing it, which I
believe may be happening too, because a guy does the cornhole
today sounds like a recipe for success to me. Yes, yes. You
sound kind of asleep. I think that guy sounds like Joe Biden.
He says, which I don't
I don't I don't get I don't get that I don't get it anyway,
so he sent a package with $399 bills. Oh, okay. strung together
was announced to take to the bank and send it through the
counting machine. And then 96 cents taped to a piece of
cardboard.
I love the creativeness so
I now look like a drug either look like a drug deal with these
wads of ones that are
well then you'd be a sorry crack.
The very thing is it's more like like a like a guy Ray. They
really hit it big at the strip club. I could make it rain there
by throwing one of these things up in the air anyway, but I will
put it in the bank instead.
Interesting, you know, the Make It Rain vernacular of the strip
club.
Don't you know that? No, I know. I'll tell you the truth. Now,
here's a little anecdote this from the MVNO days, so I didn't
know what make it rain meant because it would always be Jim
Rome would always talk about it on his sports show about how
these athletes would always go to the strip clubs and make it
rain Yeah, I never knew what that quote meant. So one day,
the group and production decided to go to the goal and whatever
the gold club or whatever it's called in San Francisco which
has a cheap lunch and actually a fairly good lunch for like five
bucks and you can sit there and watch the strippers and and
there was this guy who round the strippers that was throwing all
this money in the air. And it was come dribbling down and then
and somebody said go make it rain, make it rain and it goes
and I said, Oh, that's what that means. If you got you can thank
Michael Butler. For my finding out the meaning of or because I
actually got to witness it.
Introduction to the Make It Rain club. So we should have a
donation level that's Make It Rain make sense? It's like, I
don't know. It's like 50 bucks. 50 bucks, man. It should be
different but make it rain is this it's a set amount. They
just throw into the air. And it should be like there should be
like 60 bucks. But you know, we lost seven of them because they
got this slipped into you know, underneath the chair. So there's
only like
50 I think it's an you know, I don't know, will work. I want to
thank the Duke of mystery for his he Marisa donation indeed.

And then an exhibit Associate Executive Producers Joss haste
Josh Hastings 2222 I was listening to a very talented
high school class cover the song 46 in to buy tool. I began to
notice some deeper meaning to these lyrics I looked up in the
book of knowledge and found some very interesting stuff about the
human shadow and the 46 plus two theory. This led me to Carl
Jung, which in turn led me to his red book cover a clever of
you with his realization I had no other choice but to throw you
a bag of deuces for all the douchebags out there. I'd like
to call out one in particular Tony boom he turned me into this
turned me on to the show and I've got two donations and while
he says back with zero, I find this unacceptable. The my Region
Five Josh Hasting.
All right Josh pouty from FEMA Region six here.
From nine rock Harvey to 1998 Prince Rupert, in BC. Glad to
know I hit something hard enough in the mouth that has stuck this
is the last show where he was called out as a douchebag as he
was but they beat me to an associate producer credit which
I probably needed to correct when I heard you guys call my
name a porn star name. Rock Harvey. I laughed so hard I
almost ran off the road. Love all you do. Here's some value

some Morse code karma
You've got karma. You got it. But I remained rock Harvey rock
hard Harvey Harvey so hard as
a rock. You use that voice when you do your audition?
No, they'll never be different. Yeah, I know. But they'll never
they're always like we don't want an announcer guy I'm gonna
go here you go Toyota. It's a great car. I
love it. You know what people say they want and what they want
I
know but it's like you try to follow instructions directions
whatever. Yeah, they always say the same thing. Please, please
we don't want it to sound like like an announcer must be 30
Young hip with it relatable. It's always the same words and
then I'm going to do that. Yeah, what was it? Was it here? No, he
was a Kellogg's. I got it here. I got I got the thing right
here. Here it is. So the instructions literally read.
Specs. We were looking for a man roughly around 30 years old who
want a very natural laid back read this talent should not
sound like an announcer and you're telling me to do this.
Every morning in every corner of the world the Golden Sun cracks
the horizon, unleashing a brand new day. And as each of us stirs
from our slumber, somewhere between half asleep and half
awake lies the question. What will the day ahead bring? Will
it be brimming with promise and optimism? That's why Kellogg's
is there every morning. We rise with a bowl of delicious
sunshine filled possibilities. The goodness of grains. That's
what you suggest. Yeah, okay. I'll try it next time.
All right. Okay, well, you didn't get the job so you
wouldn't have hurt Richard harassing neck Raza neck
harassment. Resnick in eastern Pennsylvania. He's written and
before he's gonna send a note and came in with a check mailed
in. I was listening to an interview with an author named
Ellen Brown who wrote a book defending former governor of New
York. Eliot Spitzer. Would you talked about him being set up by
the banks of course, right. She was talking about how powerful
the banks are, and then mentioned the Wesley Clark
seven. Her theory was that those seven countries had independent
central banks and therefore were declared rogue nations that had
to be toppled.
Yeah, did you see the Luke Rakowski West Clarke interview?
Yeah, yeah.
I got a clip if you want it.
Yeah, we'll play it. No, no. That's played after we're done
here. We're done. No, I'm not done yet. Okay, so reading from
his note sorry. Anyway, would have never known about the
Wesley Clark seven or so many other things if it wasn't for
the no agenda show. I appreciate all the work you both do. You
bring this information twice a week. This donation completes my
knighthood you're on the list. And he would like airplane

Hey. How many times I have to tell you if I can't do all this
stuff just on the fly. Yeah. Oh, hold on a second. What is it
roundtable rewards? What is it airline what
Van Winkle bourbon with say the whole thing. Well, he says pappy
Van Winkle bourbon, recommended by JCD served by Oktoberfest
frown lines
served by October fest pro lions. Would you mind emailing
me that before the show next time?
No. Okay. You wouldn't mind that at any rate, I'm not gonna deal
with it. Okay, so that's our producers and executive

India Tango mic.
They got it. I got it. It came up. You You're lying. It's nice.
I like it. Got it.
No agenda cd.com. That's what I've been trying to get out for
the past two minutes here. He has to I guess you send out the
newsletter. Yes and yeah, it had a lot of it had a pitch in there
for helping distribute our show and if you go to no agenda
cd.com Ramsey will help and you know this credit Ramsay is, you
know, his boss like makes him do this as his job as his job.
It's a princess.
And so he got 15 over 15 volunteers in the first few
hours and just wanted to highlight two of them. One is a
social studies teacher he wants 150 line pipeline discs for his
students. That makes me proud. And let's see Ramsey as an
agenda listener long haul trucker. I feel I'm perfect for
this opportunity to spread the message of the No I have no
agenda nation I'm out four to six weeks at a time cover the
lower 48 Get mon nation proper as well as get my nation great
white north. And this is Anthony, the BlackBerry super
abuser. It makes total sense to have a you know, have have a
trucker.
I think all the trucker should be listening to agenda I sent
this I had been in conversation with him and others. And the
feedback I get as truckers apparently especially at the big
truck stops like to talk a big game about politics. But all
their everything they get to talk about is derived from
listening to Rush Limbaugh, or
that's it. That's about it. You can't get on shelves when you're
really trucking across the country.
Right? Well, if you have XM a lot of people will bring in the
satellite. But then again, it's the same people on his there's
there's more of them. And they don't get that they don't get
this twist on the news that we have, which is that we read for
example, today. You had a very good report on this human
rights tolerance, tolerance tolerance and tolerance
diversity
thing that everyone did these truckers need to know this. It's
great for conversation. People you go to the truck, stop, you
know this stuff, and then you throw it out. And the guy why
did you find that out? Is it well, I listen to the no agenda
show and you slap a disc down? Or if the trucker knows the
people that own the truck stop. They can ask him Can we put a
bunch of disks here on over here by the cashier? Is that
possible? Yeah, you can put them down. I listened to that show.
And then I think we're gonna have a group of a very important
people. Teamsters. Yes. Yeah. Listening to the show.
Get in on it. People you can also and thank you Blaze L from
BL domains, he is forwarding no agenda.cd to no agenda cd.com.
So this is it seems like a new thing. This is working. I like
it a lot. That's very good. Because we know that there's
only a small percentage of our listeners support the show
financially. A large percentage can't they're just so broke.
When you're eating 69 cent mac and cheese, I get it. So we know
that by increasing the force increasing the audience that'll
help somehow down the line, won't it?
Oh, absolutely. Not only that, but it gives us the opportunity
to call on the Teamsters. If we get in trouble.
Yes, that's exactly right.org/in A startup Shut up. Our formula
is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth
sorry about that. slippage there on the on the old jingle
machine. Boom. Everything seems to be holding out though today.
John, you said Comcast came to check out your system. It's they
did a good job.
No, they didn't. No, no.
Oh, you sounded great. This so far. Do
I sound great? Yeah, you really say yes. Because I swapped out
the Comcast connection for DSL during the break when you're
fixing your mic. Really? Yeah.
It's, this is the best it's ever been in us
because DSL. And here's the joke of it. The Comcast is running at
and they you know, they did, you know, look around, they said,
Oh, it's probably because the packet losses because of this
loose connections. So they've fixed it all. And so then I'm
watching it. And you know, and I got my bandwidth went up again
to 50. So it's 50 up or no 10 up and 50 down. You think that
would be good enough, right? So I'm watching this thing as we're
talking, because I have to report back and say, well, this
worked or not. And so we're yakking away you're moaning and
groaning about your mic, which I still don't quite understand
what you
fixed now. I can tell you later. But but so
anyway, so I said, you know, this is looking at the packet
thing and I said there's a 3.1% packet loss popping up popping
up popping up. Every so often I said this bull crap. So I
decided to just go straight into the DSL connection I got from
the sonic.at it's only gonna be used for this by the way,
although I use their phone service, which is fantastic.
Because now I get paid less for a I don't pay anything AT and T
and I get a phone with long distance and everything else
included part of the deal. So but the joke isn't I went to
annex M, which is allows me to get bigger upstream and it kills
my downstream input. Here's the joke of it. I'm not very close
to the, to the extreme, do the exchange. So now you're telling
me I got a really good connection? Are you sound good,
I sound good going out. The Comcast is 50, down and 10 up.
This is 1.5, up, 1.5 down,
and it sounds better than anything's ever sounded.
Yes. Now, what does that tell you?
That I'm pretty sure that the infrastructure of Comcast,
there's something loose, and with the only serious replies we
got from people was, you know, the coax could be expanding in
the heat, there's corrosion that have to check like all these
transformers down the line. And you're not going to notice this
too much on just surfing webpages and downloading porn.
But it's really, when you're doing when you're doing the
show, and you need to get the packets out what's happening,
Skype will drop packets, all the other protocols that we've
tried, we will start to store it up. And that's when we get like
a second latency, because it's reassembling packets not to give
you a bad experience, but therefore you do build up
latency. I have had zero
packet losses in this entire thing since we right since I
reconnected zero now it's great. And it's running at 1.5. You
know, Skype only needs 50 kilobits doesn't need much at
all. So it doesn't need much at all. So why can't Comcast or
these cable companies, Comcast, in this case, it's not
about the bandwidth, it's about literally your connection was
breaking your connection is just it's intermittent. It's like
rattling keys in the in on your motherboard, you just know
that's not going to work at a certain point. It's not about
just the bandwidth. It's the intermittent pneus of it.
So that's the issue. And that's nice. So I guess we're just on
the DSL from now on because Comcast can't, can't they don't
get high speeds.
Comcast doesn't care. They don't care. Comcast
I was I was I was sent up to executive extradition or some
crazy executive rendition. It was some crazy high performance
top of the list. You know, people that were supposed to
help you the guy comes right out, you know, it's all this
stuff. And you're gonna call him back and say, Hey, I had to pull
it. You know, I can't. I can't do the podcast if you're 50
megabit connection can't hold up. In fact,
we ban Comcast from this program. We did. Yeah, right now
and then I banned them officially.
You got to get your on cable modem. It seems to be better.
Yeah, I'm on Time Warner. I have no idea why. Well, you know,
Austin has great conductivity in general. I think we're one of
the best connected cities because of just what we've got
here.
Yeah. So that's why. So anyway, so the sonic dotnet thing is
cheap. And I recommend it to anybody in California, the to
use it. It's a if you can get it. And it's cheap. But what's
cool is they give you they give you the internet at whatever
speed you can get from where you are, and a phone. So I moved my
AT and T phone line to this. And the phone has free long
distance. And it's a Potts line. It's not a digital crap.
It's a real line. It's a real line. Yeah. Nice. Well, why
don't you call me after the show? Why just so we can use our
POTS lines.
Just the thoughts line. Anyway. So that's the deal. So that now
it's all resolved. And I'm going to just now Good.
Well, thank you. Thank you very much for doing that. I hate to
say that I always knew it was on your end. But Nago.
So where were we? Well,
the IPCC report. The fifth version, I believe is coming out
tomorrow.
Oh, great. This is that I want to remind people that just as
important on Saturday night, Miss World Zabi given a report
on the Sunday show.
Now the problem with the IPCC report, there's a couple of
things going on with this. And that was it was brought to my
attention. Of course, we have in I believe New York City. Now the
Clinton Global Initiative is underway. We have boots on the
ground in the hotel. reporting back here is at a certain point,
and this apparently Charlie Rose made it possible that Al Gore
and Bill Clinton were on on the same stage for the first time in
10 years and 10 years, I tell you, and here's Gore, giving his
little extra pitch to all the elites at the Clinton Global
Initiative and to the world as broadcast on CBS. Television.
When people feel and understand these extreme weather events.
They're way more common and way more severe than they used to
be. Oh, really?
Wow. Okay. Where's where's their bullshit hurricane season? Good.
They hit bullshit standby.
And even people who don't want to get into a discussion about
global warming, are looking and noticing and saying, Hey, we got
to do something about this.
No, no, no. Have you been saying that to yourself, John, I've
never said that. Oh, by the way, the sciences and science. So
this report is coming out. And already, they've leaked some
details. One of the most important details to note is
that now 95% Of all scientists are almost certain that humans
play an active role in global warming. And this is the I'm not
making this up. 95% are almost certain, and most of them are
more certain. And this is, according to the portare, the
chief of this, this whole incredible scam. But of course,
things aren't really working out too well with that pesky climate
and the weather.
One of the great puzzles in climate science is why over the
past 15 years, global warming, has paused. Now, one theory is
that there's less output less energy reaching us from the sun.
Another is that industrial pollution is reflecting some of
that energy back out into space. But perhaps the most plausible
answer, in the view of many scientists lies in the oceans.
If the air isn't warming up, maybe this vast body of water is
a job trying to work out what's happening.
Are you trying to wake people up again, this that's a that's a
very, very good service, John is very good service. So that's not
working out. The thing that really is, is a problem, of
course, in this report, is that the and just so you understand
that the climate report IPCC report is based on computer
models. And these models, these, you know, these are projections
of what is going to happen, and they just haven't panned out. So
at a certain point, someone's going to say, This is bullshit,
and your models are wrong. So what is really your report all
about? And of course, a lot of scientists started to say this,
it turns out, in addition to the 95% being almost certain is that
65% of the scientists are new on this report, John, we found new
scientists
but you gotta keep swapping these other guys out. So they
got the new guys
in this is this is really phenomenal. And here is
something that I think we pretty much predicted it came sooner
than I expected. It came within the six years we've been doing
this podcast, weather modification will now be
generally accepted as a way to combat climate change and
storms. And this is now being broadcast. This is my favorite
scientists
anything to trigger that damned ice age to kill the public.
Meet you Kaku. That's the crazy Asian guy who's always you
always letting too much slip out. And this is this report was
just and what's the what's the hot girl who was on CBS this
morning with Charlie the
Savannah. Yeah, Savannah
Savannah Guthrie? She's for brunette Right? Which is hard on
television. I think brunettes are
a blonde and a brunette. She does what they tell her. Well,
she's good. She does what she's told that That's right.
And she's got killer legs.
You know, they were talking about climate change. yesterday.
She by
the way, says climate change, which is kind of a interesting
little Freudian slip there.
You know, they were talking about climate change yesterday.
And now we're learning that scientists and researchers are
looking at how to change the weather on purpose. That's
right. Lasers now. De manipulate rain and lightning CBS This
Morning contributor Michio Kaku is a physics professor at City
College of New York. Professor. Nice to see you extraordinary
seeing Al Gore and Bill Clinton. They're together with Charlie,
wasn't it? That's right. Yeah, they did not get into this
discussion.
Because, you know, that would give away their plan.
But it is fascinating. I mean, lasers really to change the
weather.
So they're gonna bring so much into this report, but it gets
really good when we talk about the United States as we have
discussed being actively engaged in weather modification.
That's right. Well, as Mark Twain once famously said,
Everyone complains about the weather but no one ever does
anything about well, instead of doing a rain, we physicists are
firing trillion watt lasers into the sky to actually precipitate
rain clouds and as you bring down lightning bolts, this is
potentially a game changer, but this is experimental. It's
experimental. However, in the laboratory, so far it works.
When you have water vapor, and you have dust particles or ice
crystals. You can precipitate rain, it condenses around the
seeds. These seeds can also be created by laser beams. By
firing trillion watt lasers you rip apart the electrons creating
what are called ions. And these ions act like seeds like dust
particles, bringing down rain and even lightning Light
well i This is fascinating describing the
way you wake and make ozone in the atmosphere is not an ozone
phenomenon we just rip up.
No, no, this is actually more like Tesla stuff because this is
this is the stuff that Tesla was into.
But see below what it is a laser beam goes up and it's going to
be ripping apart a bunch of I hate to be a private plane. My
it's only a trillion watts. All right now now this is where it
gets fun. It gets to
I remember reading the stories that China had used this during
the Olympics that the USSR had used this after Chernobyl to
create rain clouds. I mean, did those really worth in? We have
some of these capabilities now
inconclusive even in the 60s the CIA use this to bring down
monsoons during the Vietnam War to wash out the Vietcong
governments have been plagued
by so what's going on now in the control room? Oh, shit. No, he
didn't. No, no, no, that's classified we can't talk about
that alleged to
alleged to right now
thanks, man. Good work. Good work. Savannah.
We realized that for decades right. And he's like, no, no,
no. He alleged alleged sitting down rain and even lightning
backing it up you're gonna hear her said the way she drops a
legend because you're right there panicking in the control
room and somebody because there's an agent.
No, no. The script said alleged alleged alleged Savannah
Savannah Savannah Savannah in this story
is that China had used this during the Olympics that the
USSR had used this after Chernobyl to create rain clouds.
What did those really worth then we have some of these
capabilities now
inconclusive. Even in the 60s the CIA use this to bring down
monsoons during the Vietnam War to wash out the Viet Cong
governments have been alleged to alleged
you know that that came into the earpiece?
Oh, yeah, yeah, there's no reason she would have said that
in a million years alleged
to alleged to alleged to I am repeating what I hear in my ear.
Now. We realize that for decades,
hold on a second. This is this is too good not to discuss
further.
Why don't you wanna hear the rest and then we can discuss we
will hear the rest of
I'm telling you right now I want to know why. Okay, play the rest
of it. And I'll think about this, some more
governments have been alleged to have experimented with
now he's back now he's back on the on the train. He's awake now
that control
but nothing conclusive. This time, we're bringing in the laws
of physics rather than simply waving our hands and Adriene.
mumbo jumbo. We're actually using trillion watt lasers now.
And in the laboratory, sure enough, they precipitate rain
out of water vapor showing if you can actually bring down
electricity down the down the beam. So what does it mean for
drought areas that
need to have rain for crops? And if they don't have like Colorado
and we want to kill people and mess everybody up?
There's the consequences of famine. Well, the bad news is,
if it's a clear blue sky, it's not going to do anything at all,
because it only takes water vapor that's already in the air
and condenses it.
Oh, how do we get water vapor into the air? I'm telling you,
John, this is just the beginning. They're going to tell
us how they're going to save our life and all this geoengineering
it's so smart. And you know, of course we have experience and
other countries have been doing it but you know, we've only
allegedly been doing it but now we have trillion watt lasers.
We're gonna save you. We're gonna save the world. With the
chemtrails watering straight,
there's no water vapor in in suppose it chemtrails and
there's no there's no contrails when there's no water vapor, so
that's bullcrap. Okay? If there's no water vapor in the
like in Saudi Arabia over the Sahara Desert, they're not going
to do anything that could create that and let's say build a big
mountain or something unless
it's just a just a reason to Cam trail.
I don't think even that's I don't think that's it. I think
there is I don't know what they're up to. I just don't know
that we have a clue. But I but if they're starting to talk like
this, this frightening, you know, is not the thing that
should be discussed.
You know what this is only because we've predicted this. We
had, we have talked about weather modification coming into
the vocabulary of the media as a common normal thing for years.
Yeah, it probably even predates the book but still true
I hope that doesn't become a common
I love it. So I went back and, and all of this, you know, with
IPCC coming out and everything happening I went back to it
because this is a lot of this is being propagated by the Bill and
Mullen. The Gates Foundation. And I'm really, really good bye,
darling. I'm really worried about about him. And what he's
doing. Oh, Bill Gates. I have the feeling. So he's clearly
Melinda is his handler? Yeah. So Bill Gates. He's not he's a,
he's a I think he's a mathematician, programmer. But
he's, you know, when did he become like a biologist? You
know? When did he a meteorologist, a climatologist a
vaccinology? Just, you know, he's not a doctor. You know,
he's had dropped out of school didn't he doesn't even have a
degree. I think he wouldn't have a degree. No, he doesn't. He's
essentially a disc jockey with more money. And it's like, okay,
but when did he become like, and I think what happens is when you
are in, so this, this, you met you, you become really, really
wealthy somehow, you know, and then a lot of people steal it
become wealthy, and certainly in America, I think this is
happening. And then you get an invitation. And it's like a
party or like a club or something, you go there and you
walk in, like, holy crap. You know, there's Clinton, there's
Buffett, you know, there's Bano. You know, there's, you know,
there's some Saudi Arabia, it's like the richest people in the
universe, you know, you got the biggest bankers, Jamie diamonds,
everyone. And they all sit around, like, you know, how can
we save the world and they convinced themselves of these
things. I think that I don't even think they're evil. I think
that just morons. It's the
billionaire groupthink phenomenon. It's very common.
And
like, you know, well, you know, if only we, you know, killed
more people. Now,
if you think you're the smartest guy in the room, and you're
Dennis reconfirmed by your wealth, because only us only
smart people get rich. Right? Yeah, so I must pay. So I've got
a bunch of money for whatever reason. So I must be really
smart based on my net worth. And so I'm with a bunch of other
guys, and they're loaded. So we have to be a smart, smart group.
So we can figure this out. Because we're so smart.
Exactly. And then they come up with stuff like the Georgia
Guidestones, or whatever. Yeah, who knows where it comes from.
But they I think they literally pump each other up into
believing that they are doing well for the universe. And then
as I went by only clip the minute a little minute and 15 of
the Bill Gates TED Talk, where he throws up where he says
carbon dioxide has to go to zero.
Right? And I just wanted to basically can't breathe.
It's Let me see. Do I have the Yeah, actually, we should do
this, because we need to go back in time to listen to what he is
actually saying. It's a no agenda, classic clip. No agenda?
No, no, no, no, no, no. Now we put out a lot of carbon dioxide
every year, over 26 billion tons. For each American, it's
about 20 tons. For people in poor countries, it's less than
one tonne, it's an average about five tons for everyone on the
planet. And somehow we have to make changes that will bring
that down to zero. But how
you can't zero you can't zero. And then he throws this this
equation up on the screen,
it's been constantly going up. It's only various economic
changes that have even flattened it at all. So we have to go from
rapidly rising to falling and falling all the way to zero.
And just as a side note, part of the problem with the IPCC
reporting, is that the co2 levels have increased, but the
temperature hasn't. So now the the theory is diverging on the
charts. And so this is now kind of breaking this theory apart
helping Now, this equation
has four factors.
You know, I want to remind people that we've, we've
discussed this on the show, and we've predicted is that because
the because divergence has started already and started a
while ago, where the co2 and climate differentiation is not
lockstep together anymore. That's why they're panicking.
Yes. To get these, these climate things restarted, so they can so
at least when things stop, you know, when the cycle goes the
other way, they can say, Wow, all these things we did is what
change it would help it. It's helping us a lot faster than we
thought we first thought it was going to take 1000 years to turn
things around. But it turns out that by taking quick action, we
made a difference.
Obama saved the world.
Anyway, sorry, go on.
Now. And so of course, I'm not playing this without reason.
Because you know, it's very possible or there's likelihood
that these trillion watt lasers could be used to create storms,
you know, because that's essentially what they do is
create storms. So you're creating storm,
you're creating monsoons casually in the south over
Vietnam allegedly, with hardly allegedly, allegedly, it's
hardly the kind of power and peace we have today or the
colors imagine
what you could do in color. Rado, if you really want to try,
you have to experiment
here and there, they may be experimenting in India, there's
a huge flooding that's not recorded.
That's what that's by the way, that's where I do it. Because
then that works out with Bill Gates's theory, let's finish up
location. So you've got thing on the left co2 that you want to
get to zero. And that's going to be based on the number of
people, the services, each person is using, on average, the
energy on average for each service, and the co2 being put
out, a per unit of energy. So let's look at each one of these
and see how we can get this down to zero. Probably one of these
numbers is going to have to get pretty near to zero.
Haha, that's listen to everyone in the audience laughing because
they know they know the thing that needs to go to zero is the
P
back from high school algebra. But let's let's take a look.
First, we've got population
now listen very closely to what he says very, very closely. We
haven't done this in a while this isn't this is a classic
clip.
Now the world today has 6.8 billion people, that's headed up
to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new
vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we
could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15%.
Okay. And let me just play that back. And you tell me what I'm
hearing. We could lower the amount of people on earth with
vaccines and great health care. How does that I don't
understand. I know
what his logic is, what what he purports to, what is ported
logic is, but if you think about it, it doesn't make any sense.
What he says, of course, is that we can do all this, you said he
says that if you have a family unit that is healthy and vaccine
to up, and all the rest of you have less children. Because when
you have a situation where the children are dying off
constantly, you always you reproduce more. And but that if
you think about that makes that doesn't make any sense at all
because of the Rivoli kids are just dying all the time. How
does that work that you would save these kids with vaccines?
It there's an ill logic built into what he has to say. And
I've heard him discuss it before. And it just, it still
stinks.
It doesn't work out. It just doesn't feel right. Anyway. But
I know he
wants to spend Why does he spend money on on, you know, getting
rid of poverty. I'm one of the one of the things that when he
could do a fine job of that because he's got so much money.
But let's take I want to go back harken back to the educational
report.
It's funny because I was I wanted to play you one. We're on
the same team, I want to do, I'm going to transition into the
Bill Gates speech about education. And then you can pick
it Okay, then I'll tell you what this what our writer said,
Yes. And I actually marked up a whole bunch of stuff. So here is
Bill Gates, about and this relates to Common Core, you need
to be looking at this.
And I hope that these early adopters and the work they're
doing and the results they have a will build the momentum and
really get the reality of the Common Core Standards rolled out
as quickly as possible. This really is a a critical piece to
allow us to be more scientific and more data driven in our
efforts to improve prove schools.
Yes, data driven scientific approach. Do you want to take
it? No, keep going. Okay, so common core, this is what he's
talking about. And this is why I can tell you that not only is he
in the billionaire moron club, but this, along with the Clinton
Global Initiative, but really what gates is doing. He is in a
game that is above everything else, John, this is where the
real money is being made. When you take every single us child,
and you're going to roll out this common core, this
encompasses everything. This is how the schools run, how the
networking is done. If you go to common core thing, it's common
core.org I believe, you can start to figure out who the
partners are. And yes, of course, it's going to be
Microsoft, it's going to be all of the networking guys. It's all
the educational people the books, I mean, they are redoing
the entire education system. And they will accomplish a number of
things. One, a huge Bonanza in money in services, basically
repackaging everything. There's creepy companies that are making
hundreds of millions of dollars to create the interface for this
thing. You need to go to inBloom inbloom.com I think inbloom.org
This is like seven minute video of the teacher walking around
with a tablet and then she's eventually standing behind the
kid and evaluating the kid's head. And then you know, it's
like, oh, this is an underachiever. Let's put that
kid with the overachiever. And they move the you know, the
seating positions. It's completely robot tising the
school system and of course, it will eventually force
homeschooling etc. out of the picture. And the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation are funding a lot of this, like
ablechild.org and all these other crazy organizations that
all fund funnel through the National Governors Association.
Yeah. Now this is I want to play a clip of the smartest kids in
the world. This this author, Amanda Ripley was on the
NewsHour, and she was discussing her book, and they played a clip
of these kids that apparently some American kids have gone and
they went to other schools through other school systems in
the world. And then they reported back I want to play
this clip, then I want to discuss what she said about
this. Then I want to bring in the information that was brought
up in the book The Death and Life of the great American
school system by Diane Ravitch, which is part of the educational
report that I've yet to provide
a conversation. 19 year old Eric finishing high school in
Minneapolis decides to spend a year in school in a South Korean
city where students study through much of the night then
fall asleep in class.
In Korean High School, home and school intersect constantly. If
you're at home, you're either studying eating or sleeping. If
you're at school, you're studying, eating or sleeping.
him a 15 year old in rural Oklahoma jumps at the chance to
study a year in Finland.
The students here care more they understand that it's important.
They may not like a class, but they know if they don't pass it.
They don't pass their tests and they don't. It's harder to get
to university.
And Tom 17 travels from Pennsylvania to Poland for his
senior year of high school,
there's a lot more respect for the teachers in the classrooms
are much more sober environment. There's no joking around between
student and teacher like there is an America,
three students who helped provide a lens on what makes for
a successful education around the world. And here at home.
It's the subject of a new book titled The smartest kids in the
world journalist and author Amanda Ripley.
Yeah, this is this is great.
So she comes up with this thesis and she and one of the key
elements in it. And this will be interesting to see how people
deal with this. For one thing, Finland, which was one of the
worst school systems in the world is now according to her
one of the best if not the best, and it's totally unlike the
South Korean model, which is where they work these kids to
death and they don't get anywhere they're fat. They don't
even do as well as the Finnish kids in so far as all this is
concerned because they've changed the nature of the
culture of the school system and of the teaching and the
mechanism and what they teach. And one of the things they've
done is gotten rid of all these electronic bullcrap. Yeah, kids
don't have iPads, they don't have notebooks,
all this sort of, we're going in exactly the opposite direction.
And we're
going in exactly the opposite direction. And when Ravitch was
on C span, and she's the one who authored the book, The Death and
Life of the great American school system, and she's an was
part of the education department for a while she thinks is
bullcrap. And she, she's, when you hear her speak, she's just
fantastic. And she thinks gates is doing the most damage of
anyone by promoting bullcrap charter schools, which are a
fraud, they cherry pick, and they do all the rest of it. And
she claims that if these guys were serious, the real problem
in the United States when it comes to the it's not as much of
a problem, obviously in Finland is poverty. She says, I don't
care what you do at the school system, if a kid has a
toothache, and he's worried about getting beat up on the way
to school and he's in a ghetto, and his parents can't even keep
take very good care of him. He's not learning anything.
That's not true. The iPad can fix that.
That's exactly what the argument is the iPad can't fix anything.
And so she says that if we would attack poverty, which we're
doing anything but because everyone bitches about this, you
know, we got the rich, rich, rich, we're all sitting around
their little meetings and they don't even talk to anybody that
has a net income of less than $10 million a year and you have
a net worth of 100 million then they can talk to you they're
sitting around dreaming all this crap out there and and the
poverty situation United States as everybody knows, is worsening
and has been worsening since probably the night mid 1980s. If
not before maybe the 70s and that's what needs to be
addressed. And ravage goes on and on about this. She says this
is a fraud. Yes, complete Friday now it's also on money grants
a money soaking fraud I looked at so I pulled the 990 on the
National Governors Association which I'm what is it? So all the
governors are This is how I this is how the money flows to the
states for this kind of stuff. Because Common Core is being
implemented by the state so far 45 states are on board, notably
Texas, at one of them not jumping on board, because we're
not morons here in Texas. Yeah, we got our problems, but we're
not. We're not in total morons. And at least someone's not being
bought out by this, which is strange considering it's Perry.
Because, you know, he's pretty much on board with anything he
can get his hands on, but maybe just can't do it legally. So
this new NGA, which, and I have the form 990. Here, there.
Here's their mission as described by their tax filing to
provide tailored technical assistance for challenges facing
the state's identify and share best practices, and serve as an
Information Clearinghouse on gubernatorial initiatives. And
I'm looking at these guys like a $20 million. They're a PR
agency. This is a legal tax exempt PR agency for the soaking
that is taking place in the implementation of this common
core, which includes this new thing that we should be all over
the P 20. Data Systems. Oh my god. This is this is what you
need to know. The P 20. Data Systems. The only truly
longitudinal data system fully realized p 20. system tracks not
only an individual's academic or educational achievement, but
also provides a picture of their post education or career
experience. With the billions of records we have cleansed,
integrated, loaded and analyzed, we have gained insights into
both the complexity and the profound, profound value of
comprehensive data. We've also learned a great deal about what
it takes to design and implement p 20. Longitudinal Data System
this from EA scholar, just one of the many, many companies
jumping on this gravy train of this for it's basically a format
and your your kid is being tracked with for everything,
everything you do. It's all about the data. You know this
not as you would if you're an artist, you know, like an under
if you're an underachiever, you're gonna get booted you're
gonna get thrown out like an invalid Stamp. This is the most
dangerous thing I've seen. This goes beyond NSA, this goes
beyond all of that. That parents don't understand you need to
take your child out of the school system immediately.
Immediately.
Well, I'm looking@achieved.org, which is a big P 20. operation.
The board of
directors are funded by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
And Chairman of the Board. Craig Barrett, former CEO of Intel.
Yeah, of course,
because there'll be and if you look at the inBloom
presentation, that's not an apple, by the way, it's not an
iPad. It's some kind of propriety proprietary tablet,
running what looks like I have to say, a Windows eight
interface with no blocks. Kind of like the what was the name?
I've never had one. What was the name of that failed front end
they had on Metro Metro Windows eight.
Yes. Not failed. They're still selling it.
I'm sorry. Yes.
Right. You mean the piece? You said piece of crap. Oh, yeah.
Piece of reference. Yeah,
they I'm sorry. I thought it did fail. I thought no one was that
they didn't sell the tangibility
of failed was apparently there was a trademark on Metro and
somebody else owned it. They have like
a million, a billion dollars worth of write offs on this
stuff.
Now that was because they couldn't sell the Surface Pro or
know the surface in T or the Surface RT. And they had a and
they just had them in the warehouse. So they wrote them
all off instead of selling the fuel for 200 bucks, which they
could have done 400 Right and made made the money back. It's
just a it's just, you know, it's bookkeeping. But yeah, no, this
is terrible. This is just it's just another high tech money
grab and I give Silicon Valley plenty of credit because I, you
know, they had they always think about different ways to gouge
the public. And they've done a wonderful job of it over the
decades was crap and junk. And, you know, politics, nobody knew.
Let me
tell you, let me tell you something else because of the
way this and this is this is Bill Gates must be stopped
people. I'm very serious about this. Bill Gates must be
stopped. It's no longer acceptable to think he's a cute
little geeky man trying to save the world. The dude is out of
control out of his depth and is being handled to do evil things.
He doesn't even know it himself, but he has to be stopped. And we
can know and we and we have to speak vocally about this man.
We it's you know what it means one of the greatest
philanthropists in history
unacceptable. It is unacceptable. What this man is
doing. It has to be stopped.
He's trying to stop malaria. What's wrong with you?
Because Didi See, it was a fine solution. That worked fine. We
didn't need mosquito nets, just throw this stuff over you and
you've lived forever. There was too much. It was too cheap. Now
this heat, seriously, these are the people that you you forget
to look at. And when you thought when we thought when I think of
evil, you know, Hillary Clinton comes to mind, you know, it's
like, Hitler comes to mind, boy, I don't know how I got them. But
you did it. Yeah,
I did it. I did it. I'm sorry. I did it. wake everybody up. Thank
you. That's in case you're driving. But Bill Gates isn't
service Bill Gates is not the guy and you watch him like, Oh,
he's kind of cute. And everyone's like, ha, ha. And he
was so smart. He's not smart. He stole an operating system and
sold it repackaged it. He's not a genius in this regard. But
he's he's been handled into this position. And it's I think this
is this is dangerous stuff. Unless, of course, we can get a
consulting gig out of it. And then I might Oh, yeah, then
we're gonna change my mind. That, of course, is the model
here that no agenda is gonna
show us move by Jonah to no agenda. Imagine all the people
who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
And let me explain why this is so dangerous. And why we can
talk about this. You will be watching PBS than the new news
hour, which is funded
by the way is the only stop you. It is deteriorating under this
new model. I can't tell you how. But it is. They got the two
hosts now. And they change the sets and they make everyone wear
red and colorful clothes like clowns. And they moved. My Aunt
Margaret, whatever name is out to see she's in the on the road
all the time down. So as Jeffrey Brown, he's never in the studio
much. Right? And they've got this thing changed. And the show
if for some reason has lost something. I don't know what it
is. I think somebody behind the camera, to be honest about it. I
don't know who it is. I wish somebody may we have a contact
there. I'm not sure. But I'm convinced somebody behind the
camera quit. Well, we
know we know who
says no, no, no, no, no, that story's boring. Well, yeah. It's
called the editorial function of the program, which we know was
changed because Bill and Melinda Gates said, Yeah, we're thinking
of pulling our $3 million donation. What? They pulled it.
Yeah. Yeah. But but they control so much
that here's what unless you make these changes. And now there's
no there's nothing.
And it's written, it's really, you know, this is why you have
things like the Bilderberg drinking club, because you have
these powerful people, they've got their system and you know,
and it's, it's, it's an elixir you get you, you get close these
people that have a sheen around them. I've been near these, I've
been one of them briefly. And then you have this like,
untouchable thing, and then you're part of the club, and
then the media sucks up to you. And they'll go Oh, yeah, no, and
then, and then opinion has changed. But when you're down
here in the Mac, and cheese trenches, that's when you can
actually speak truth to power, Joe.
Well, we can because we're supported by you the the
producer listener, yes. And we can say, well, we can save it. I
don't think if we were on any sort of network or public
broadcasting the what Adam just said about Bill Gates, you'd
never it wouldn't happen. No. We have a meeting right after the
show. You can't say that. Yeah. And you said we know we're gonna
have to we're going to lose some of our affiliates. Yep. That
kind of thing.
Advertising local. The local micro advertisers
don't like this guy's like he knows bill is Bill's a nice guy.
Yeah, anyway, we do have some people that think that keep us
going can myth, MC kopen in Imperial Pennsylvania $150. He
said and he makes a nice little point here. I'm sitting here
writing out my cable internet bill and it occurred to me that
I owe you guys at least as much as I spend on my TV every month.
And I'm not sure I can keep this up every month but I will never
know unless I start trying.
Thank you very much. Now there you go. That's that's our value
for value model.

Foundation. So Yeah, we never funny, would we? Would we roll
over for enough money? Would there be a certain
Oh, it has to be way more than you know, it would have to be
from them? Probably not. I mean, I think we take the money but I
don't think would change anything. No,
what if there were strings?
Before we go on? They're not giving us an
edit a girl can dream by a girl can dream. We
can, you know, we have more likelihood of getting an
anonymous donation from the CIA, which we wouldn't say we would
take that. Honestly, we wouldn't know where it came from. Then we
will from any of these big foundations.
All right, everybody has those of you who requested it bend
over here. Come suck off the karma pipe. You've got karma.

five Chinese listeners might be interested in this major Chinese
kind of a holiday celebration, Lucky 1010 Day and all the
rest of it. 555 is an interesting number. If you if
you look at the on 1010 on 1010 If you look at the book of
knowledge, of course 555 Is the fictitious phone number exchange
for all movies in America.
Yeah, just to make sure that you know you're watching a movie.
They put that in there. I've always
hated that. Always thought that was so bad.
It's really bad.
In a text conversation, the number five in Thai is
pronounced ha. So three fives would be haha wow, really?
That's fascinating. Oh, not really. It's also 555 dot com
and where's 555? Wicked pediat 555 timer IC is an integrated
circuit with a variety of timer pulse generators.
Yeah, okay. We should probably stop what we're still ahead
Yeah, 555
and a five five. It's a cool number phi phi phi phi phi.
I am I have a, I have an observation to make, and maybe a
solution. Have you noticed this? We were in Los Angeles. And
before that we were in Marfa. So we've been, we've had dinner out
a couple of times. It seems to be a and this is a very sorry,
wait, wait, wait, stop. You've had dinner out a couple of times
what you're talking about with some friends, not just you've
always had dinner out a couple of times?
Well, no, no, we usually stay at home and cook. Okay, but you
don't
go out much at all? No, not really. Okay, well, that's fine.
But we have been
out a couple of times in the past few weeks. And with enough
people like four or six, where someone ordered meat. And
there's a new question it used to be How would you like that
cooked? Have you noticed? John, the new question now is, what
temperature would you like that?
I've never heard this. This?
I heard it in four different restaurants. But this has
got to be a Texas thing. No, this is this was LA where they
stick in this in LA. Oh, God. So were they sticking a thermometer
on there.
But I've also heard it here in Austin. And, and so I looked it
up for medium I guess would be 152 degrees. What did what did
this happen that I'm telling you look it up this? This is
happening? What temperature would you like? I'm like, what
temperature? I mean, what
temp? It must be some.
I'm telling you. This is this is new. This is very annoying.
Thank you. I knew you'd think it wasn't I wouldn't mind bloody
well, I'm,
I'm always here because there is always a script on the outside.
I mean, it's safe. You know, it's just, well, they're coming
back. And but you know, for the hamburger. Yeah. To be
here. They expect you to answer like medium or rare or medium
rare. But when you say temperature, I'm gonna give you
the frickin temperature. Hundreds. Exactly. 143. And I
want to I want to thermometer
42. I want to 143 not 144. And then you got to bring a little
pocket thermometer with you. And then pull out your pocket
thermometer and say, and I'm checking it so it better be
right. Yes. Yeah, fuck them. dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Yeah, well get ready for it. Because it seems to be like the
new culinary thing. You'll be you'll be.
You know, I don't know if they have these in Texas. I know they
have them in Southern California definitely have them in
Portland. And they have them around here. They have some
permanent places in San Francisco. But on Wednesdays in
the nearby town of El Cerrito. They have about I think about 25
or maybe more of these food trucks that gather in like a
they block off part of the city streets and move these food
trucks and they do this in Berkeley too. But not to this
extreme. This is huge. And they they surround an area with food
trucks that sell all kinds of crazy stuff. Korean barbecue,
you know that besides the Mexican stuff, it's usually only
one thing of that. But there's a lot of barbecue crazy desserts,
weird French things. And so they're all different. And these
trucks go from this like a bunch of gypsies going from place to
place during the week where they sell these expensive little
ditties. And then in the middle of this huge area that they've
cordoned off, there's tables, but tablecloths is all set along
in there. And there's a band stand. Yeah, this
is very odd to have this in Austin, kind of. Yeah, they put
up a
bandstand. And there's a band playing it's usually but it's
Dinner Music. So it's like a giant restaurant. Yeah. And I'm
looking at this thing and it's getting bigger.
Yeah, no, we have this in Austin is very popular actually. Is
very popular places packed. And you bring your own booze or you
can go to a bar nearby.
Yeah, if there's one Yeah. But this I wonder where this where
this if this is taking place across the wire, Oh, I
saw this first and actually Mickey told me about it when
when we moved first moved to Austin two years ago, she went
ahead because she had to work out some paint with the the
painters of the house we're gonna move into and she went
alone and a couple of no agenda producers said, Well, why don't
we know we'll, we'll take you out to dinner, we'll hang with
you. And then she got in and she was staying with a friend and
then they said, Okay, let's, let's go we're gonna we'll meet
you at the food trucks. And Mickey's like, what? You taking
me to a food truck for dinner? I am Miss Mickey What do you think
you're not I shall not eat at a Ford truck. And and she said it
was great because they know we have this area here where all
the food trucks are and then you know, actually, there's a couple
of places that are bars where you sit outside. And so you get
your drinks at the bar and you go and get your food from any
food truck you want you and they have the facility for you to
eat. So it's a very hip thing.
So so there you go. I look at the food trucks and of course
and this is very popular around here. There's no Christmas
Parkway. Yes of course are ugly. The El Cerritos guy in San
Francisco has got a spot over Buy Costco where they are. And I
talked to these guys that have these bunch about maybe 10 to 15
food trucks in his little lot. And I talked to the guys and
they rotate these food trucks is run by some guy, and then food
trucks every day. It's different food trucks. So these food
trucks are itinerant, they're all over the place. All I think
every time I see it, I notice that some of these little
ditties that they sell are kind of expensive, but overall, it's
not like going to a restaurant. This is the depression. Yeah,
anybody thinks food trucks or anything other than the symbol
of the Depression? They're nuts. That's exactly what this is.
This is my impression. That's the model food truck
equal depression. I agree. I agree.
It gives people the ability to go out it's really pleasant. It
was like the weather has been really good. So you can go out
and sit outside and there's not a lot of bugs. And you can have
the meal cheap. You know, it's not just that they're not cheap.
These some of these things are eight, nine bucks, but is still
cheaper than a restaurant, which is Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Pretty
expensive. And
I'm, I'm, anyway, whenever someone asked me about what
temperature I'd like my meat, I'm going to give it to them in
Celsius, which is conveniently 152 degrees Fahrenheit is 66
point 66 degrees Celsius.
I like my meat. It's 66 degrees Celsius.
Exactly. Exactly. I shall measure it when you come back.
Yeah, no, I'm going to pull that if there's some I'm going to
bring the loo I have one of those meat. Small meat
thermometer. Seriously, I love that. Put on my jacket when I go
to a restaurant just to if they ever comes up, I'm pulling up.
You watch it'll happen to you. I'm sure this this has got to
spread to San Francisco. This great. Alright, let's, let's get
a little quick update here. Touray, who was on the MSNBC is
Touray is a music journalist. I think he wrote some entry about
some hip hop or reggae stuff. And now of course, he's an
expert on all things in the world, including Africa,
including Kenya. And of course, he's going to give us he's going
to tell us a little geography refresher as to where Kenya is
Connell calling in on a cell phone from Nairobi, Kenya. Sorry
if that was hard to hear. We're doing the best we can to get
accurate information from on the ground truth and stay safe.
Here's your Monday geography refresher. Kenya is located on
the northern coast of Africa right next door to Somalia where
all Shabaab
Oh, Touray. No, I'm sorry. It's on the east coast of Africa is
nowhere near the northern coast with your geography refresher,
you idiot.
Didn't have a map in front of him. Now he's just reading
the prompter like everybody else. Oh, total moron. All
right. Here's
a well, we're on Africa. We're talking about the alarm. And
I got to say, I'm sticking.
I got two clips. But the first one is I thought this was odd.
And now you've heard it or there's been nobody points out
how kind of weird this was that Kenya. President makes the
comments about how they beat off the beat off these rebels.
Ladies and
gentleman, as I had vowed earlier. We have ashamed and
defeated our attackers. Yes,
I shall have to ashamed shame. ashamed. You have to ashame
them. I mean, this is like what do you just you want to start
trouble? We have not only been there but we have met you know,
it's like he's like some sort of weird insult from a Monty Python
skit. We have shamed them. They they're they're losers. He
actually says beat these losers up.
He actually says ashamed,
doesn't it? Yeah, he says, ashamed by thinking that's just
bad English. No, I
think it's actually it's
okay. She ashamed them. Yes.
Yeah, this whole thing. If you look at the timeline, and of
course, there's a lot of UK type stuff in here, which is
completely annoying. So for like two or three weeks ago, in the
UK press. And this is a pretty cool timeline that one of our
producers put together. He has this. I see. I don't know if it
has an easy and easy URL. But it's this some kind of system if
the whole thing doesn't work properly. But the idea is you
you load a whole bunch of stories zilpah.org Whatever this
is, you let a whole bunch of stories into it. And it will
then put those stories in order of appearance on a timeline. And
he did that with what he found regarding Nairobi, Kenya and
then ultimately the the Westgate attack. And you see things
ramping up you see stories about the White Widow which now of
course, she apparently was one of the one of the terrorists
here in the mall. The White Widow is the widow of one of the
seven seven bombers in the UK if you can make it any crazier. The
May 11 is when the the Al Shabaab twitter feed appears
because remember the only clay Now that Al Shabaab has done
this has come through on Twitter. This is what journalism
has now resorted to is when someone says I'm Al Shabaab on
Twitter, and we did this, then all of a sudden that's fact is
true. So that a lot of stories here we go more about the White
Widow and that just keeps going. And then of course, the ICC, the
International Criminal Court stuff crops up and then boom,
this happens. And then there's like some saps Secret Service
guy who saves 100 people. This has all the hallmarks of a
strategy of tension, if anything, and to blame it I need
to bring some some religion into it if you know if you couldn't
answer if you couldn't recite the Quran if you didn't know
Muhammad's mom, Amina, if you didn't know her name, then you
know ubit get killed. And of course, it wasn't just a
shopping center as it's known in Nairobi. We have we have
producers on on the scene. Now No, it's now called a Mall
in Nairobi, Kenya. US officials, meanwhile, can't confirm. Al
Shabaab has claimed that three Americans actually took part in
the Kenya mall attack. The FBI is investigating the White House
acknowledging it's been worried about Elisha Bob's efforts to
recruit right here in the United States, particularly in the
Minneapolis St. Paul
area. So this is really nice. Now we have malls in the Banat
keynote monocular in the in the vocabulary, and Minneapolis
being recruited here at home of course, that will turn into lone
wolves. And I'm thinking Black Friday this year, which is the
Friday after Thanksgiving, the biggest shopping day of the
year. I'm thinking we will have metal detectors and perhaps a
few surplus body scanners at your local mall. Because we're
now being frightened into believing that this can happen
anywhere with no apparent reason. Or or or strategy or
discussion or document. What happened to the good old
fashioned hijackings where that high, you know, that gets some
people in a mall you hijack and you have demands, you know, like
no demand release our people, there's no demands anymore.
Think about it. This This changed after 911 This
actually Scahill had I wish I would have I would have clipped
it. I just Scahill went on about this, because he's really got
this, this al Shabaab thing down. And he discusses how they
were just a bunch of losers until the CIA came into the
area.
And they're CIA in the area. Yeah. Oh, no, currently,
and they hired they got all these, these heads of all these
various clans to become assassins and start shooting
people. Right. And then this al Shabaab grid, and there, they
fought against that. And then one thing led to another and
this al Shabaab group kind of lingered, and then it kind of
got some attention for itself because it was still fighting,
but Al Shabaab, I mean, let's let's really look at Al Shabaab
was much, much bigger when they first start off, they, you know,
they, they could come in, you know, they were threatening to
come and kill 1000 People now, that diminished to whatever this
is.
Well, he says, and nobody else said this. I couldn't find this
anyplace else. Except the Iranian girl knew about this,
too. They have splintered into two groups. And the one group
which was the one that attacked the mall, are they just now so
they actually just joined al Qaeda, supposedly, which is some
sort of a criminal organization, I would have to assume, and
they're the ones who killed the American that one guy was an
American was the rapper.
Yeah. Yes. The rap and jehadi
the rap and jehadi they just shot him
and they were they apparently also killed the White Widow. But
now she's back.
Well, the White Widow I didn't know that she was killed. But
yeah, whatever the case is,
but in the at the same time, they were supposed to have
killed the jihadi rapper.
Well, the god rapper that apparently is dead, which I
think is a plus. And that anyway, so there's a bunch of
stuff and he's got a pretty good story to tell about this. But it
was just, you know, it was like, it would have been half the
show. This guy needs to get his little rap down. So it's gonna
be tighter. It's gotta be
tighter. A couple of things happening here. First of all,
sir Jeff Smith. He was in Nairobi not long ago. He did his
tour. And by the way, he said, you know, just like you said,
John Nairobi, Nairobi. Everyone gets robbed the minute you get
your walk in there. He got robbed everyone, Rob's he saw
get robbed. He thought it was interesting. The Chinese
presence was interesting. Oh, and I have a couple stories
there. And of course he sent us in in the morning in Swahili.
ASO Bucha he everybody in Somalia. In candlelight. Here's
a I do have a little short beginning clip that describes
the CIA involvement in Nairobi, or in I'm sorry, in Kenya. I've
been in Somalia somewhere and now Africa just say Africa, Bani
al Shabaab origin story is worth listening to,
in the early 2000s, the Bush administration made a disastrous
decision to put all of these warlords on the CIA payroll, and
they came up with this name called the Alliance for the
restoration of peace and counterterrorism. And I tracked
down some of these warlords when I was in Somalia and in Kenya,
and they basically had them acting as a as a as an
assassination squad. Most Somalia experts said that there
were no more than a dozen al Qaeda connected individuals in
Somalia right after 911. And so the CIA hires these warlords
ostensibly to go and hunt these people down. Well, they end up
murdering vast numbers of people who were Imams or religious
scholars. And in some cases, I was told that they would
literally like chop people's heads off and then bring them to
their American liaison. Say, this is so intuitive, and I've
killed them. Yeah,
yeah. So seen. The guy who has his eyes as he's outside, he
wants to talk to you. Okay, bring him in. He brings in a box
pulls on it.
For the CIA, no less. Great. Well, if you really want it,
this will help is here's a visual aid for you. The senator
of Nairobi, a guy named Mark, Mike sonko. That's it. And
that's not his for his full name his movie, Gideon, Kyoko, Mike
Sancho, just Google Mike sonko, S O n kayo. Now, this is the
senator, a guy who's got like hip hop chains, he's got shades
on he's wearing earrings. His last name, Sancho, apparently is
Swahili or Shang for rich person. So he's called Mike rich
person. He walks around Nairobi with his hip hop gear on that
just to give you a little idea of what's going on in, in, in
Nairobi, of our video, Kenya, obviously. Here are some China
links, which I think are very interesting. First of all, the
airport burned down not too long ago. And the Chinese came in
rebuilt the terminal within three weeks after the fire had
passed. Yeah, effectively taken over it. The Kenyan government
has secured a $635 million loan from three banks, you can only
guess what their origin is to rebuild the entire airport. And
simultaneously, China has now become with a guarantee of $3.7
billion Kenya's largest bilateral lender. So it's
obvious what's happening here. The Chinese are in and they have
to be moved out. This is a strategically great place. Kenya
is so high now on the list of oil producers because of oil
that was found just a couple of years ago. Now they've got all
the water, but the Chinese are there. So they have to go. They
have to go we have to move in. We need our consultants, our
advisors, they have to be on the ground. So you can just watch
for this to happen. And we need oh, we need Yeah, we have to
have people there to protect the poor people. And then of course,
we'll be right near Somalia, which is one of the West Clark
seven countries.
Well, that's yeah, that makes nothing but sense. And I say had
one of the well, I don't know if you have any more on this.
They've got the origin story, this guy who didn't bring up any
much of this, you can play this Atlantic Council, which is like
the big TTIP operation. They seem to be behind it in some
funny way. They have all these spokespeople. This guy Pham came
on the NewsHour, I believe. And he's the ACT about the Al
Shabaab at the mall kind of thing. It might be interesting,
an actual
political program a goal to an attack like this, you kill more
than 50 more than 60 civilians. but to what end? They can't
test is your point. Thank you.
Thank you. No, but I think what they're hoping to do is to put
their imprint they became an al Qaeda affiliate a little over a
year ago, and since then having a franchise fee for that
bombings, that occasional truck bomb, but now they've hit it
big. And this attack actually shows a much greater tactical
and operational sophistication than Shabaab has ever shown. I
don't think you'd be able to coordinate multiple armed
fighters going into a shopping mall at various levels within
that mall, attacking this required reconnaissance weeks if
not months beforehand. It requires a support network
operational in Kenya, which needs to be a concern to Kenyan
authorities now, and neighboring countries need to ask themselves
whether they may be unwittingly hosting a similar network, a
sleeper cell and all these are Serious questions that now need
to be addressed
but this guy is full of crap because he's not really
answering the question as to what end why are they doing
this?
Yeah he never did they never asked that question because it's
it's
it is not either logical This is not blowback. This is just
strategy of tension for for the other douchebags to come in and
boss everybody around.
So let's say we have a mall here and we're going to do put up all
the metal detectors and put guards at the doors. Now the
thing
about by the way, by the way, Minneapolis where are these
al-shabaab Ian's are from has the Mall of America, the UFC,
one
of the big ones. And by the way, here in the country. I've been
to that mall. I've been to that mall. And here's something
that's interesting. They have a roller coaster in the mall. Yes,
they do. What's interesting about that there's a bigger
mall, I think in Edmonton, which I've been to too but the Mall of
America is the floors are slippery. So if you want to run
it's almost impossible
yeah if you're Yeah, and if you and you're bleeding on it, it's
just it's easy to wipe up
so they block off let's say they block off four doors because of
the profit malls is that they're not like little it's not like
Paris you know where you go down the street and around the corner
and is curved in this you know you can defend yourself and all
the rest of mall you're sitting ducks if you're in one of these
big malls. All you have to do is block the doors so you can't get
out Yeah, so you got to metal detector in front of the mob of
guys comes in to shoot everyone and the metal detector guys and
a couple of security guards so what what would prevent them
from just shooting these people shooting the metal detector guy
and kicking the metal detector knocking it over and then just
going in and shooting everybody well, is there some reason that
that can't be done?
Now it can be done, but it's not going to happen. There will not
be any attack on our malls because we are we are just going
to be in a perpetual state of fear about it happening. You
don't actually have to do anything.
But even that's, I agree with that. But it seems stupid
to waste a good opportunity.
It's never a stupid waste of good opportunity to be
miserable. Well, you can people miserable here,
here is what you'll be dealing with for the rest of your life.
Lockdown, lockdown,
lockdown, lockdown,
you're going to be on lockdown. Oh, I
got down I got a funny clip of actually Amy. on Democracy Now.
made this comment dag Beat Nation I just thought which
leads into a little Obama pitch. Play that hold
on. We're What am I looking at here? Tell
me she doesn't say dag
it's the first one. Okay. Speaking of Missouri after
Friday's House vote President Obama said the US risks becoming
a deadbeat nation
yes she
says it it's just like climate change. She says dig beat
because she Obama because she can't actually say the words
I like what she tries to say million she can't say million
she says she can't say million. She says million when the
hilarious. Okay, so Obama has this commentary. I clip the
pauses out of Obama on the dead dead dead beat nation.
Because the United States of America we're not some banana
republic. This is not a deadbeat nation. We don't run out on our
tab. We're the world's bedrock investment. The entire world
looks to us to make sure the world economy is stable. We can
we can't just not pay our bills. And even threatening something
like that as the height of irresponsibility. So what I've
said is, I will not negotiate over the full faith and credit
of the United States.
Are you saying it again? Do you know what that means? It's the
trillion dollar bill.
He loves to say that oh, he's
gonna do it. He's gonna call he's gonna overrule 14 The men
amendment stuff or what? No, no, no. Was it Article Two?
When we look to I think maybe yeah, or four.
He's gonna over anyway. And by the way, he's right.
He's right. But there we can't be a deadbeat nation. We can't
run out on our bill. You
can't run out on your bill. We can't stand hearing it was was
sipping Samuel Jackson said something very funny. I'm trying
to see if I can find it. Here it is. He was interviewed for
Playboy magazine, which of course I read for the articles.
And is that something still being printed? Here's the quote.
He says President Obama it says he's talking about he want he
wants the president to be more presidential. That mean well, he
says President bomb other highly educated Americans constantly
dropping GS off the ends of words to sound like he was
complaining about the President's language.
Oh, yeah. He's always what you kind of heard here, the earlier
clips. Well, it's kind
of what you kind of heard Hear though is you know where he's
like, we haven't run out on the bill. And Jackson says, Well, we
know it ain't because of his blackness. Stop trying to
relate. Be a leader be effing presidential. So he knows Samuel
Jackson, I gotta I gotta hand it to him. You know, it's gonna you
know, he'll be doing more snake movies on a plane with that kind
of talk. Not going to do anything good dude.
No, he's got plenty of money. He's not worried he'll be sent
to
sent to the dungeon of Hollywood.
So one of the guys of the future that we have to be on the
lookout for, and he showed up on that we had our America's Cup
race here in San Francisco. Yes, yes. And the Americans won.
After being down eight to one. No, they ripped off a bunch of
victories and beat the Aussie or the Kiwis. So they had a little
ceremony at the end, and they announced that the mayor is
going to be there to come out and congratulate him. And
there's also going to be some protocol woman and Gavin Newsom,
the lieutenant governor. And Gavin Newsom is a guy to keep an
eye on because he has a political. He's just the worst
kind of political guy you've ever run into. I mean, he just
wants to be president of the United States and so he can get
laid. Yeah, he's the one who was he was actually married to
what's her name The leggy girl on the five for long,
but he screwed around with her. He screwed on right. He
cheated. Oh, yeah, that's all he does. Cheater. Yeah, yeah. So he
so instead of the mayor coming out and didn't maybe handing it
over. You have to see this. Newsom runs onto the stage grabs
the mic and takes over the place. Oh, it's all about him.
Oh, boy. In the process, he makes this funny little stupid
commentary about there's an old saying in San Francisco, and I
want you to listen to this and tell me if you've ever heard
this old saying anywhere.
I'm looking for something that says old saying
it should say Gavin Newsom. Which I wish was a reason IQ.
No, no, no, I don't have a Gavin Newsom.
Yeah, you do. It's right after the funny al Shabaab origin. I
go from
funny out should be Abobe. To Henry gets me,
Henry, that's way down the list is you must resort.
No. Hold on a second.
You don't have the Guardian editor and NSA
know what is Yeah, I don't know. I'm on let me see what's going
on. This is this is disturbing. You
have Guardian editor, NSA Guardian editor on not outing
people. And this was an ask Adam.
Hold on. Let me let me see if I somehow I didn't get your clip
side. I don't know what's happening something
bad. Yes, I did such a nice lead in. Well, hold
on. Mayor of San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, and the Lieutenant
Governor of California Gavin Newsom to the main stage.
Joining them Charlotte Schultz, the chief of protocol for San
Francisco.
How y'all feeling? There's an old saying in San Francisco,
that you don't want to be the best of the best. You want to be
the only one that does what you do. That's Team USA. And I love
that it's Team USA. America.
What does that even mean? And it's not an old saying in San
Francisco. I've tried to find it. This is bullcrap. No
one talks like that no one says these things at all. That guy's
an idiot. That's pretty funny, though.
I don't know. What do you got? I got a bunch of other things.
I think we should save some stuff for Sunday. There's a lot
to go over.
Well, let's get this out of the way. This is the Google clip
jets at Google.
Oh, yeah, we've had this in the show notes for the past three
episodes, but haven't discussed it.
They're the billionaires next door and their Silicon Valley
lifestyle is being fueled by private jets. But are Google
executives taking advantage of taxpayers money? The
investigative unit has been on the story for more than a year.
Google's founders and principal owners are parking their private
planes on publicly owned land at Moffett Field. NBC Stephen stock
first broke the story last year and tonight has the new
developments and how much money is it's costing taxpayers
a lot of money. Roger and Jessica. By now just about
everyone has heard of the deal between h 211. The founders of
Google and NASA Ames at Moffett Field, a deal that allows them
to keep up to seven private airplanes and two helicopters.
They're under a company they called H 211. Tonight for the
first time we take you inside that relationship and we piece
together exactly how much you are subsidizing Google's
founders to travel all over the world.
Some distraction
as a distraction, but it's interesting but Because I found
it curious that I mean it's millions of dollars to get but
they this guy does a long story. The guy goes into he has all the
flight plans. So they're going all over the place. It's pretty
amazing. They're
shipping Charlie Rose around and near the final. You're
doing all this stuff. This is stuff you do. Yeah. But the
thing that I wonder what I was going to ask you about this.
What do you think of this? Because you remember when these
lot of these guys they get these jets, especially in the early
days like, like Hugh Hefner had a playboy jet. Oh, I remember it
727 It was painted black and had the bunny logo. Yeah. And a lot
of these guys General Electric has some jets and they have
their logo on it. The Google jets heard plain Jane there's
they say nothing. They just like they're ashamed of the of the
that they own these jets or something? What is it? Do you
think? And they're not leasing these? There's not like part of
a lease operation. So as you know, I can see if you are
sharing, you're doing jet sharing with your other rich
buddies. Yeah, you don't have your logo on there necessarily.
Right. But why don't they put the Google line and they are
they, when they when I see this kind of thing. There's no Google
anything on these jets. I think it's just trying to put one over
on the public.
So the reason why I believe, and this is all Eric Schmidt's doing
when Eric Schmidt came in, he realized that in order to not
have these Sergey and Larry dudes, you know, ruin
everything. He had to manhandle them and manage them into
understanding how to be how to underplay you know, your your
wealth and your riches. Because Google is the particularly the
founders that phenomenally wealthy, just so much money just
making it rain, just going home and just throwing hundreds in
the air for themselves. But in public, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no. Low key downplay no flash, no, no, no snazzy gear, no
snazzy clothes, no parties, none of that. There's no you cannot
find those types of violations of ethics, like you find. And by
the way, Apple, I think was similar. That will change too.
But like Facebook, you know, unlike anything that Sean
Parker's in, I think I think this was Eric Schmidt saying,
No,
it's a reasonable explanation.
And when you when you're parking at Moffett Field, which is very
convenient for them, because I've I know a lot of these
Silicon Valley guys, investors and some of my companies, that
it's worth nothing who have private planes, and they have to
drive for 45 minutes.
Yeah, you're the SFO signature lie or just San Jose. Yeah, it's
it's driving 45 minutes to get to some executive airfield. And
they were these Google guys didn't have the helicopter pick
them up at Google. And then they, you know, like, five
minutes, three minutes. Yeah, five minutes there Moffett Field
into the jet. And you know what? That's worth not having a logo
on the plane. It's worth it.
You know, that's fairly convenient. You really are
kicking him out, though, because the public is getting a little
irked by him. Of course, there's 10s of millions of dollars that
they get what that happens is they get government
subsidized fuel. No, no, no. And apparently,
there's a story one story going around that they're also these
guys. I knew guys would like this one years ago when I was an
air pollution inspector there used to be a guy named Crowley
who owned the red stack, tugboat line and he did this and
everyone was always bitching about it. They have government
or they have untaxed fuel gasoline that drive their cars
in there and then they put the cheap gasoline which is a buck
something but again without all the taxes and they just fill
fill up fill it up fill Braddock gasoline and these guys if you
have access to this tax free gas Yeah, you know you've you find
some scam way to like load up on it
in Europe.
These are billionaires Yeah,
no, I know of course. You know it's expensive though. You
flaunt you fly one of those jets around that's six $7,000 an
hour.
Yeah, they put a lot of racks up
in in Europe we used to drive around on red diesel you know
red diesel? No, no, no read these Okay, so read D so that
you have diesel that is has no taxes on it for or different tax
State Taxation structure for farm equipment, then for
automobiles and what they do is they color the farm diesel red
so that if you are pulled over and you're checked, and you're
driving in your car on the road with red diesel, you get a huge
fine, but of course doesn't happen often that people are
pulling the hood checks. Yeah, well, no, no, but they they
normally would just check the poor farmer you know, like, puts
it in his in his old Mercedes to drive around to drive to church
or whatever. But I used to have it exclusively. Come on, it was
like, a quarter of the price. The red diesel they still do
that. The red diesel. I would like to put an entry into the
book before we go, John. If that's okay, yeah. Did you bring
the book?
I have the book right here and listen, I'm gonna slam it shut
watch. Hear that
in the Federal Register. This is by presidential proclamation the
authority vested in him as president by the Constitution
the laws United States of America, including the Federal
vacancies Reform Act of 1998, as amended. The President hereby
orders the order of succession designation of officers of the
Office of the Director of National Intelligence to act as
Director of National Intelligence. In other words, it
should the Director of National Intelligence the DNI and I
believe that is James clapper. Indeed, as should he become
unable to perform his duty as Director of National
Intelligence, there is now an order of people to assume the
position. Why, just in case a but it says the following
official the Office of National Director in order the order
listed shall act as and perform the functions and duties of the
Director of National Intelligence during any period
in which the DNI and the principal deputy director of the
National Intelligence have died, resigned, or otherwise become
unable to perform the functions and duties of the DNI. Oh, I'm
sorry, clapper. And then the Deputy Director of National
Intelligence for intelligence integration takes over which is
not who you would expect it to be. And then as the Director of
National Counterterrorism Center, before the national
counterintelligence executive, and then finally the Inspector
General of the intelligence community. So it's not like the
deputy director of national intelligence knows the Deputy
Director of National Intelligence for intelligence
integration, which I think is a spot close. That's Robert
qardio. Currently, I believe. He is a little closer, perhaps to
the regime. He's been around for a while he served as Deputy
Director for analysis. But whenever you get these things
when the President says hey, in the case you die, here's who's
going to follow you up. I think it's worthy of a red book entry
that Clapper is not long for this position. Or perhaps
universe.
Well, he would quit Yeah, before he gets anybody would do
anything to Boston.
Boston breaks I think they would probably remember this is the
guy who remember on the TV show he didn't even know what had
happened that morning and
I love that that's still one of our best clips and even what
was that the seven seven bombings? I can't remember what
it was some big bombing
and they brought it up Yeah, it was it was the subway stuff and
London was the subway
stop or was it the subways? No I think was the liquid gang the
liquid drinks gang I
want it whatever it was it was very all it was all over the
place was everyone knew about it? We knew about it and he
didn't
Yeah, it was pretty Oh, what happened? Was pretty sad is what
it was. I don't know what I don't know. We're not listening
to Americans. This guy has to go John He asked to go I think he
doesn't want to go this is why the President's like
oh, maybe this was a subtle hints dude look if you
die you know. But you know was
was a message just means nothing could mean messaging.
Yeah. And with Al Jazeera America, which I still do not
have on my cable system, don't have streaming video, but people
send me clips from time to time. It feels like now more than
ever. Russia today needs our help. They Oh, they've
needed our help. No, no, no, it's it gets you worsening
because I've been watch. I have proof.
I have proof. So they have this new they have like a like a
booster babushka chick.
I'm talking Oh, they just put
like a television producer. You know, she's got a real heavy
Russian accent. And she throws to this package like a promo
about Snowden. Which of course is still one of Russia's primary
cold war tactics to use, like Neener Neener Snowdens with us.
Yeah. Which we've kind of forgotten but so that still
needs to be pushed in everyone's face, particularly Obama's face.
But the pack if they got this British guy, someone like said,
hey, you know, we can really sex it up a bit. And he's, he's, I
mean, he tried to do this promo, but everybody's got echo on it.
And he's doing like the, you know how on top 40 radio you'll
hear 1000s of dollars of prizes are crazy. You know that one
where they do that? Yeah, I know that what nasal voice he's doing
all that and this promo listen forced him to flee his homeland
thrown into a sea of uncertainty. Snowden has
temporarily anchored himself here in Russia, which is now his
place of refuge. So this is the kind of babushka check now wait
for the promo also sort of a prison
stranger in Moscow, Moscow, he says he never planned to come.
Once a servant to the world's biggest power. He's now running
from it. After leaking some of his big secrets. Edward Snowden
a hero.
Do you hear this? Edward Snowden produced
in Mexico City.
A man with no passport and nowhere to return to Russia
become his new home. What does he feel it's a prison power
Russia has accomplished don't wait to escape. Does he still
believe His sacrifice was worth the price?
Edward Snowden I could sit at home and do promos like that all
day for these guys.
You know, it's funny because the when I was at CNET when they
were doing television, and they had a bunch of network guys that
real because Kevin Wendell was a Hollywood type and he knew all
these guys. So we there was there was a bunch of pros. And
they would make this reference and to certain kinds of
production values, and they would just the reference was
simple was Russian TV.
Oh, there you go. That's it. It's totally Russia. So
it's natural for them. Because this is Russian TV. Do slipshod
production. This sounds like just the worst. The whole
doubling is like Edward Snowden this Sunday, Sunday Sunday with
30. Yes.
Funny cars sneezing so if you're gonna go that route, we might as
well play the Maury clip. This is what people in America listen
to.
Everyone this is Nikki welcome Nikki to the show. Nikki says
that she was madly in love with a guy named Alonzo.
Now I can't I can't do it. I can't I can't Don't make me do a
job. Please don't make me do it. Please.
Let's go with to Obama. We actually have a Clinton clip to
where we can get rid of that. Here's this. Actually, no, let's
go skip to the ask Adam segment of the show.
Oh, do you want me to do a jingle? Yeah, I think I should
hold on it.
I'm done. I'm done after this. Yeah,
me too. It's been a tough job. Yeah.
Okay. There's the Guardian editor. He's talking about the
NSA and all the rest. And And now here's they're talking about
how they worked with intelligence agencies about one
thing or another? And is the guardian at it, you see the
clip? It's ASCAN play it. And
you had numerous conversations with, with, certainly with
British intelligence subsequently. But before the
first articles came out, was there any contact or with
American intelligence or British intelligence on your parts or
warned them of what was coming? Well, the first full story is
we're all NSA rather than GCHQ. And they were all edited out of
New York. And we were in touch with the agencies via the White
House. And we warned them of what we were going to publish.
And we had sometimes helpful dialogue, sometimes robust
dialogue about what we were going to do. But it was
important for me that we gave them the chance to respond and
to make plain any concerns that they had about any particular
thing. So was there any effort on their part to dissuade you
from publication? Yeah, they weren't. They were. I mean, they
told us why they thought we shouldn't publish some things.
There were one or two things that were helpful, because we
didn't want to go into this behaving irresponsibly, or to be
agents of danger or operations. And so I think it was important
to have those conversations. And
Edward Snowden also made that a requirement. Isn't that true
that people not be exposed?
Yes, yes. No. He said, Look, you you will have to vote in your
own judgment. But I would like you to behave responsibly. And
as you say, not not exposed agents or ongoing, sensitive
operations, for instance, in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Ooh, they behaving responsibly as the media, which is I'm
thinking well,
wow, what he said don't expose agents. Yeah. Of the CIA. Who
are the good guys who are giving this? Is that the is that
the answer? That was probably no, they asked Adam, is this
behaving responsibly? They ask Adam thing is this when it suits
the government and I want to just point out Valerie plam and
Dick Cheney. By exposing an agent to the public, how come
it's okay for the government to do it when it suits them when
they feel like it? But the the news media which is protected by
law, or at least American one is, is not? It's not okay. Why
is it okay for the government to blow the covers of people? But
it's not okay for us responsible journalists? We do what's why
give me the give me an explanation how this works. What
am I thinking here?
Um, it's okay, as long as you aren't accused of kiddie porn.
Oh, because that's where I gotta take it.
Anyway, I just found it. Kind of interesting. And of course,
well, I don't think there were gonna bust the CIA with any of
this information. No. Clearly the CIA provided it, at least
according to the no agenda, thinking yes to is the only
thing that makes sense. And this will humiliate the NSA, which is
the DBA in the humiliation extended right down to Brazil,
where the woman told Obama to shove his special event for
Brazil, which is, which is
all the more reason that it's great that we had this little
Kenyan thing pop up. We are on a okay, just to finalize, let me
say this earlier in the week, I was asked to assist someone in
determining the quality of some medical marijuana. And I am, of
course, an expert in the field. And I asserted that this was
indeed valid product. However, I got really baked. And at a
certain point, I'm just thinking, My God, we are if you
really step back, and you look at what is being done with us
through this collaboration of politics, and particularly the
news media, but it's kind of all media in general, if you looked
at any of the new television series, this thing that was
hyped with James Spader black list, total police state
promotion, bullshit. We are being whipped around like just
you know, up and downs, we really are being what's the
oscillated almost. It's very, very unhealthy, what is
happening to people? And and maybe, obviously, it was because
of my, my, my testing my laboratory and testing that I
did that I just realized how bad it really is, John, and that,
you know, and shows like The no agenda show really do help
people in just clearing their heads a little bit.
Ya know? No, I think so. It helps me.
Oh, yeah, it helps me too. But for that one moment, I kind of
slipped and I was like, Oh, my God, look at all the stuff
that's happening just like the past year. And how it got me
from Fast and Furious, unresolved, to everything is
unresolved. By the way, everything is unresolved. Right,
that that remains unresolved, remains unresolved. And they
just bring it back. And then, you know, with these hijackings
and terrorism, that make no sense there's no no hostages, no
demands, it's just people blowing stuff up. I mean,
please, this is not how normal people actually demonstrate.
This is how you are manipulated into believing things.
So you were actually asked to test the marijuana or it was a
here Would you like a hit?
No, no, I was asked to test it for someone who needed to use it
for pain management reasons and they want it what did they
expect you to say? Well that no, they wanted to know if
they smell smoke at themselves and determine though these
completely inexperienced user like no Harold's so the question
was,
did you help them dose it a little bit? So you know, yes. Is
it probably was sounds like it was powerful?
Well, the only thing I needed to check was that it didn't make
you can today's weed you can smoke weed and you go wacky, and
like one hit us like holy crap, what happened? Like get hit by a
truck. That is not what someone who's using medical marijuana
needs. They need to have something that you can use take
one hit and numbs your body and you can dose more if you want,
but not one hit and I'm tripping. And the reason I said
I'll test it for you, because I know what it is. I know if I go
wacky, at least I'll know what it is. And I won't like freak
out.
Oh, well then you did a service. It is
no it's absolutely a service. But of course, then
you get paid for the service. If you suddenly get wasted a day.
I think 36 hours Oh, I didn't get paid for the service. I did.
I do this for friends. But it was like wow. Because I hadn't
really I don't really like it anymore. You know, I used to you
know, I was a pothead for a decade. And not really I don't
really like the high which is not high to low really. It's
just not for me. I but I particularly not the medical
marijuana because it's really it really helps people manage pain
because you relax you know just everything go ahead just
everything relaxes unlike, you know Vika den or all this other
crap which makes your brain think you don't have any pain.
So I'm all for the magic plant. I'm all for it. But it's the
NRA. So I just my defenses went down. I was just thinking, I
think I got a little paranoid, maybe that's what it is. And got
like, oh, oh, man, what's going on? And then, and then I was
marking up the PDFs and stuff. And
sure that was entertaining play play the clip pre crime part
one. So we get this get out with something interesting.
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to bore you.
And then high tech crime fighting how South Bay Police
Department plans to pinpoint crime before it happens.
Yes. And part two go along with that little bit,
it will essentially predict where the most likely occurrence
will occur. And then we deploy our resources as appropriate.
The chief admits the idea will take some getting used to it
feels strange in certain sense. But, you know, we need to
leverage technology to become better
at what we what we're doing pred poll says the Santa Cruz and Los
Angeles Police Department signed on and are now seeing reductions
in property crimes. The technology takes crime mapping
to another level. It analyzes crime data and then adds in
other factors that lead to the prediction. Whoever says Well,
it sounds too good to be true. He supports the effort. They can
predict Yeah, this is bull crap.
Yeah, no, this is all data. It's all the big data that's gonna
save us and it's all just another way of soaking up your
government money, your resources, your taxes, to
educate your kids with iPads.
The amount of money that we're squandering in a down economy is
astonishing to me.
And we're in a depression because
to cycle food trucks, food trucks, no, that's the
indicator. That's just proof.
Perfect. It's like fruit food trucks equals every
downside that has these little indicators and this food truck
thing is ridiculous. It's a ridiculous phenomenon. It's out
of control fact.
All right, everybody, tons of stuff to talk to you about on
Sunday. As I see I only got through half of the stuff that I
had done controlling gun control now. Clinton on PBS Yes,
media shield law. Oh, Trey's a don't more China stuff.

Sunday. Now No, do not look it up. Coming to you from the
