Straight from receita here she is Raven give it up. Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, October 20 2013. Time to get mo nation media
assassination episode 558. This is no agenda, thinking less
tweeting from the Travis high tide out in the capital of the
drone Star State. Austin Tejas in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm actually fogged in.
I'm John C. Dvorak. Vaughn Buzzkill.
Hey, climate change.
I cannot see across the street.
Really? Wow. Is that typical for this time of year? I can't
remember.
It comes and goes it did. It's there'll be years where you
don't even have this. This thick of fog ever. Right? You have it?
It's actually more traditional.
And it's really the San Francisco fog that rolls in over
the hills. And I remember living in San Francisco.
Well, this is the massive fog that doesn't really roll in.
It's just barrels and it takes place. It's not cool like that.
Yeah. Oh, that's pretty. Let me take a picture
of this. This is the it's scary. Fog is just comes
in just fog. Just like a pile of fog. It's like not interesting.
I'm sorry. I'm not pretty. It's just you can't see across the
street. It's just brought it up. So we're just kind of fog.
John, let me thank you for your courage.
I would like to thank you for your courage.
And I would like to kick off the week because of course that
didn't we learn in school that Sunday is actually the first day
of the new week. Is that is that the way it works? According to
the count on Monday. Now that's the beginning of the workweek
isn't the
following Sunday, be the first day because you go throughout
work all weekend, and you have your week end. Which means two
days of the week, or the end. If
you look at the calendar, the Sundays are always all the way
on the left and the Saturday they're all the way on the
right. That constitutes an entire week.
Yes, what it looks like on the calendar. Yeah, but that's not
the way I think the psychology of
it works. No, no, no. Well, they but it works well as
a way to miss on Sunday morning, you wake up and go. Oh, it's a
glorious new week. I'm beginning Yes.
And you know, I'm always reminded it's a glorious new
week because the President has proclaimed a week. And this is
well, this is it's two things this week. National Forest
Products week.
Yeah, makes nothing but sense
our national forests are essential to our lasting
prosperity and who we are as people chopping them down and
making products out of these natural wonders provide clean
air and water for our communities and abundant
habitats for wildlife, as well as building materials for our
homes, and jobs and recreation for workers and families across
the country. During National Forest Products week we
celebrate the sustainable uses of America's forests. Burn that
shit down. It is also by presidential proclamation.
national character counts week, John.
Every week is character counts week to me.
What are you going to do to make your character count this week?
I'm going to do the no agenda show is to the best of my
ability.
I let me see if this is according to the President's
instructions as Americans, we are bound together by a set of
ideals put forth by fathers that we were all created equal that
we possess certain unalienable rights. That was inalienable.
It is inalienable, he said unalienable. Yes,
it says unalienable. I'm reading it right from the stack. Right
here. Isn't that isn't that inalienable or unaided? This
doesn't feel right.
No, it's a it's inalienable. Let me look it up. All right.
But he says on or, you know, whoever wrote the script for
him.
Well, he may run it through spellcheck. Well, unalienable.
That's what happened to them. Yeah. And came up. Yeah,
inalienable is an adjective it's means unable to be taken away,
or given away what is unalienable? Well, that's
another question. But the but the actual the in the
Constitution it says inalienable right. That's my understandable
that you're understandable with Thomas Jefferson meant by
unalienable, unalienable is a word,
but which one? Is it?
The definition of unalienable? Well, it's a good question. I
think you brought something up here that's quite interesting.
I'm just seeing it myself. Let me say so constitution. In a in
a bowl, I have to look at I have to Declaration of Independence
right now in the declaration. Its unalienable rights not
inalienable, or is it innate I don't know what it is now
says unalienable in the Declaration of Independence,
is that what you got? Yeah, unalienable. So he's right.
Where does inalienable?
I don't know. But we better get some of it. Anyway. As a part of
our national character counts week, we reflect on the ways we
support one another the ways we come together and see common
ground and the lessons we teach our children about weight about
what citizenship means in the United States of America. So
here's
something you say you have to read the definition of
unalienable rights is those rights that cannot be
surrendered, sold or transferred, which which was the
other definition, but not according to this, the
government for example, or another person some people refer
to these as natural or God given rights, life, liberty, pursuit
of happiness, certain inalienable rights, such as
social security number however alienable only because the law
prohibits reassigning your number in contrast, in alienable
rights are those rights that can only be transferred with the
consent of the person possessing those rights.
Oh, okay. I think this is all in constitutional
whatever the case
man I'm glad we cleared that up.
Yeah, no, I think everyone's really improved. Their lives
have been improved by this.
Well, please enjoy your national character counts week everybody.
I think that's a fine thing to do. Miss Mickey still ill for
those of you who have been
she shouldn't be better by now. Well, she
she's better but not like up in. I mean, she's up she actually
she got up this morning and made pancakes. Which I was surprised
in the batter. I think she coughed all over it. So an
update for a lot of you.
It's a gruesome thought. Yeah.
Apparently this was not a flu but looks more like it was West
Nile to me. Yeah. And then you read about it because when you
say to someone, how's Mickey's it? Looks like she has West
Nile. Oh, what? To now it's like a flu. You know, it sucks but
you don't die for it's like swine flu. You're not gonna die
from it not? Not if you're reasonably healthy. And you
know, you're young. But when you say it, the West Nile people
freak out.
You know, that's doesn't surprise me. On the one hand,
well, no, because on the other hand, why do they freak out?
Because if they just read something, they'd realize it's
just flu like symptoms.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Like, it'll be 60 to 90 days
before you're better again. It's like what are you reading? Now
and you call the doctor the doctor says well, you know you
can come in if you want we no matter if it's flu or West Nile.
We can't it's the same thing that we can't. The only
difference I think is West Nile you can track through mosquito
bite. That's how you get it. Yeah. And we're pretty sure
that's what happened and you miss Mickey walks outside
mosquitos go hey
brunch. I love jumping on her. So and she was she was outside
by taking an excessive amount of vitamin B that will eliminate
that with a mosquito say hate that.
Really. Vitamin B is
you know that a lot of vitamin B complex it is stinks. One day if
you smell the pill and the pill smells like you know, like
brewers smile that that's the stuff you want and then
mosquitoes apparently like that. Oh, that's a lifestyle but it
worked for me.
Another tip another life tip here valuable tip
from the no agenda show. Well while
we're on that, so yes, I had to go to the market by myself so
anyway, just just let you know she's the fever has broken the
fever has broken so Miss Mickey's you know, she's not
waking up every 10 minutes and you're bathed in sweat. So
that's okay. But now she did now she has a really deep cough
which is starting to come loose. So that's yeah, she's it'll
still be a couple more days. So anyway, so I have to go off to
the to the market myself. And I'm I'm really not in the mood
because, you know, we've been up all night and Mickey's No, she's
been coughing and then I'm trying to be good little candy
striper and try and help her out and do everything I can. And so
yeah, so it's already like 1115 I'm gonna you know, all the good
stuff is gone and all the eggs are gonna be gone. And I walk
away from the, from the car where I parked it and then
there's two. There were catty corner at the intersection there
by the market to street solicitors.
Is it caddy quarter or kitty corner?
I always say catty corner but I don't know.
I think it's another issue here to examine or closely stop
the show, no matter. Let's talk about this right now.
And when you keep talking I'll look it up. So I don't
know if it's kitty corner or catty corner but I saw the other
one across the street so I knew I was going to get to perfect my
My answer, but I didn't know what they were going to ask. And
it was a really it was the weirdest question ever. Usually
this is, you know, do you? Do you want to support Greenpeace
or whatever you
want to your statements? So yeah, liberal solicitors. Yeah.
So here's the question. Hey, good morning, sir. Do you
support Planned Parenthood? And I found this to be such a weird
question because what is the correct answer? Do I mean if I
say yes, why are you bothering me? If I say no, does that mean
you're going to tell me I should support it? Or if I am I just
gonna say no? Well, anyway,
so what did you do Adam?
I said, parents suck.
Just walked on. That was that was your comeback?
I thought it kind of worked. Parents suck. No parents suck.
My mom was mean to me.
Oh, that's what I should have said. No, because my was mean to
me. I didn't say that one.
Well, kitty corner or catty corners either doesn't make
really any difference because it's a corruption of the real
word, which is Cat her corner.
Oh my goodness. Cat her corner.
Yes, ca t er, ah.
I learned something new.
Yeah, this show sounds like has already gotten off to a good
start. Well, the inalienable cat or corner the whole thing,
and then I'll do this one, and then I'll be done with it. This
is just your average random Joe, who had his own story of a
solicitation avoidance tactic. I want to drop the story from a
week ago, I was headed into a store after work to grab
something from my wife on the way and I heard a girl with a
green t shirt with a green t shirt on asking someone exiting
if the person wanted to save the pandas. Now I'm not great with
coming up with snappy comebacks quickly and like to think things
through. So I went in the store and thought of a perfect
comeback. Something like yes, I love saving pandas. Their jerky
is so tasty. Made my purchase and was so excited when I got to
the exit door. Then the Greenpeace girl came up to me
and asked if I wanted to save the ocean. I said I hate the
ocean and walked off. I was so mad. I wasn't able to use my
clever comeback and had to use such a lame comeback. I got home
while my wife asked if I want a dinner. And without thinking I
said no, I hate dinner. You gotta be careful with this
solicitation avoidance tactic. It can creep into your life
before you know it. Beautiful. Thank you for your courage on
that.
So there is a couple of reports here. Yeah, we gotta play this
clip. The air is bad, we're all going to die. Okay.
The World Health Organization's classed outdoor air pollution as
carcinogenic and says urban and industrial air pollutants cause
lung cancer and are linked to bladder cancer. The
International Agency for Research on Cancer is a cautious
body, not noted for producing reports without hard evidence
we're getting
outdoor air pollution is carcinogenic to humans. And so
we can't do very much to change the air we breathe. And we're
all responsible for it. And so I think it's important to make the
point that this really needs collective public health action
to solve the problem.
The IAR C's previously classed as dangerous individual elements
or compounds. This is the first time it said the very air we
breathe has become in places and every country in the world. bad
for our health.
This is this has got to be an agenda 21 movement.
Can somebody show me the data on Los Angeles they went during his
pollution era or London or any place that proves this bullcrap.
There's a different ending with the one I believe was on PBS,
which is a clip another cancer report with a slightly different
ending which makes a little more sense.
international researchers now say air pollution is a more
serious cause of cancer than passive cigarette smoke or
agency of health organization made that declaration today.
It's the first time it has classified air pollution in its
entirety as causing cancer even though the risk to individuals
is low.
Yeah, that's the point low
that's I saw the story I didn't do anything with it because it
to me it was just like a and I'm glad you picked up on it because
I guess you saw multiple reports. And now that I'm
looking at it This is uh this is one of those things that
everyone has basically the same message. And that has been
propagated. So what is behind this? Who did the who did the
survey? John, who was that?
I can't find out? Oh, no, it's the World Health Organization,
but I don't know who who within it. It's who so it's, you know,
corrupt operation. Yeah. But I think it's, I think your initial
expression, it's a climate gate
thing. It's
its agenda 21
agenda. There's a lot of agenda 21 stuff to talk about today.
But before that, let's play my my climate clip.
It started when a snorkeler came across this 18 foot creature
that's likely an example of what ancient mariners called Sea
serpents. They seem kind of sea monster ish, and so it catches a
lot of attention. And it's exciting for the scientists to
normally found only in the deep ocean. This oarfish was in just
15 feet of water off Catalina Island.
Have you seen this thing? This?
Isn't that great.
Oh my god, this thing is it's fantastic to look at today. What
what is the point of it? Oh, well, hold on this bizarre.
There's only one point of the fish.
I mean, why would a fish like this exists? It looks like a
snack for a shark. There it is. You just bite it right in half.
It's well it leaves very deep. I think its point is just to scare
the bejesus out of us. That's his whole his own death felt
looks
like creepy fish. And it's big. It's like it's like, if anyone's
never seen this, you should look it up on the internet. We got it
in the show. And that's a trout or a giant trout. That is got a
body that just stretches forever. So they get to be 56
feet long.
Yeah. Well, the thing that I found interesting is you see
this thing like oh, like holy crap. But then it turns out that
this these things do pop up from time to time in 1996. And then
in actually in 2010, and where is pertinent to the story, but
first, we'll, we'll hear some more of the oh my god, it's
crazy from the depths. Two
days later, this bizarre looking mammal washed ashore across the
channel on Venice Beach is believed to be a rare Saber
Tooth stenographers beaked whale. A Saber Tooth
stenographers was usually found in much colder waters and almost
unheard of in Southern California
but it looks just like a dolphin that had been hit by a propeller
just some of the dolphin with a bad facelift than that seen
around here. And to have something that's unique get
ready for its lifetime so far. experience for me was a real
treat.
Manhattan Beach surfers are used to seeing great white sharks but
not this many. Well I've been seeing an abnormally high.
This is like a like they get when they went out to the beach.
And this guy is this guy is so stoned. He's like, Yeah,
abnormally high amounts of great white sharks. What
quantity of white sharks out here lately, so I figured I'd
take a stand up paddleboard out put my GoPro camera on my head
dude I got nothing better to do but I have a GoPro on my head
and see if I get some footage you ever check me out do oh my
god right. Oh, oh my god.
Oh my gosh, shaking like a leaf. What's going on here? What
could it be John? What can be going on here?
I don't know Adam, what?
Let's go get some men on the beach.
I'd say something along the lines of global climate change
the temperature and currents are definitely changing up of
course,
temperatures definitely changing up a bit say our science wizards
on the beach.
I don't know it sounds scary though. With especially with the
great lot great whites. I have four little kids out here and I
tell them not to go in the water.
Are you sure did you count them? And now let's throw in some Jaws
movie but in
Shark sighting for Southern Californians is a theory about
the Orpheus Okay, are you ready, John? Because here's the real
answers. There's a Japanese legend that oarfish beats
themselves to warn of an impending earthquake. Rise of
them did just that in Japan about a year before the
devastating Fukushima quake and tsunami there Yeah,
I thought I thought I heard that story. Guy view dozens of them
beached themselves in Japan. It's not
in the Wikipedia but it is now of course, a meme everywhere in
1996 A lot of them showed up. That I think is in the book of
knowledge. But yeah, if you look at it 2010 You can find some
stories so that would be about a year before end of 2010 a thing
Yeah, that would be little more than a year before Fukushima
Fukushima. So of course, you know, it can't be
mixed messages. And there's a commercial for the camera. There
was
is there a new genre? Is there any is there a new like a Jaws
revisited or something that must be
this is probably some movie involves some movie hang up in
there. Yeah. Get a lot of that.
Let me see deep water. Part four Jaws revisited. Now that can't
be good. It doesn't sound right. Did you see Jaws movie? Must be
something like that. There's just no other way. Jaws five.
This already happened. Jaws five.
I never heard a jaw. I don't remember. Jaws four.
It says here Jaws five Official Trailer summer of 2013. Now this
I thought that maybe didn't already like come out and fail.
I don't think so.
Let's see. The trailer. This is the trailer. Lightning
entertainment. You get to sail around the world delivering
boats. I can't even watch that.
Watch the trailer. Is that bad?
I do. But I do. I always like it when they throw in a climate
change. I mean, that's always fun. Of course, you can't it
doesn't work that way. So you know, you can't have the oarfish
coming up because it's warmer and the sharks being because
sharks don't like well, they like cold, like cold water. So
you can't have both showing up. Unless you're theory which is
the sharks are hungry.
And they're looking at my theory. Yeah. Do you say it's a
fact? It looks like?
They do you say it looks like Shark Bait?
Oh, yeah, it does. Yeah. Because I think a whole family of sharks
could feed on that one fish. Do you want to go in like in a line
at a dinner table and they can all take a chunk out of it. Just
go right through it? It'd be great.
Do you want to do more agenda 21 stuff while we're on it?
Do you got it? Yeah, well, welcome,
actually as it turns out, now where is my head? Uh huh. I had
a document here somewhere I gotta figure out what I put that
the this whole war on dudes thing. This you know, women and
girls and women and all this stuff. As it turns out, this is
all part of agenda 21. And I didn't realize it until there's
one of our producers maintains the agenda 21 subreddit over
there on the read, it's all of the links in the show notes, of
course, five, how they dot any show notes.com. And he alerted
me to chapter 24 of agenda 21. Now, both you and I have read
agenda 21 throughout the ages. And it's a it's quite a long
read. This is this is one of those things you really want.
It's
huge. I tried it, I once began to print it out at something
like 2500 pages. And so I sent a note to the UN asking if there's
a if they if they sell it be cliffnotes. And they don't even
do that. And they make it so you have to you can't even just
print it out as a single giant document it is it's segmented.
So he had to keep hitting the next page next. I mean, if he he
had to do it, you have to print it out literally by hand almost
page at a time. It's like impossible.
So just briefly, then, chapter 24 global action for women
towards sustainable and equitable development. So this
is really where all of this is coming from and agenda 21. It's
it's a fascinating project by the United Nations. There's so
many people involved in this. And governments, it's it's hard
to explain how it really works. But governments essentially fund
NGOs, non governmental organizations, and they all go
and they do these meetings. And there's several of them a year
and they're all over the world. And they all end this it's
essentially people who feel that they're going to be doing good
for the world, and they come up with this stuff. And then that
trickles down and eventually through think tanks and the
whole system that is the global government. It seeps into
legislation into culture, and translates directly into money
to make things happen. So the basis for action here, this is
all based on the Nairobi forward looking strategies for the
Advancement of Women these days. It's like, hey, where should we
do our next meeting? I don't know. Hey, I gotta go. Let's go
to Nairobi.
Cool. Let's go there. I've
never been to Africa. Let's go to Nairobi. So these forward
looking strategy,
if you're gonna make a decision like that, do it in Cape Town.
Yeah,
I don't know. They might. I'm sure they did do it in Cape
Town. So these strategies emphasize women's participation
in national and international ecosystem management, and
control of environment degradation, to putting women in
control is the way I read that. So this is much less about women
being discriminated against and more about making women the boss
of things. And it's, they don't really even sugarcoat it. If you
read through the document, do that at your leisure. And so
we're seeing Hillary Clinton, a lot of you know, just, we just
recently had the watermelon head do the whole the International
Day of the Girl, it's all about the women. We heard that the
women if the women had only sat down together, this whole
government shutdown would have been resolved in like a couple
of hours because Nancy Pelosi is so awesome. And Debbie Wasserman
Schultz is so awesome. And all the women are awesome. And
here's Robert Redford and other he should be he shouldn't be an
honorary member of agenda 21 If he's not already, like
the honorary woman to
Well, I think whatever idea I would have had to make things
work just wouldn't have been accepted by this minority
faction.
I think that no matter what you would propose, they would go
against it because their determination was to destroy
this person.
That's just the setup. So you know that he's, he's hating the
minority faction. That would be the Tea Party terrorist, and now
they wanted if it meant destroying the government,
anything to keep him from succeeding, okay,
Redford's hope for change a new generation and gender crediting
female senators like Susan Collins for putting politics
aside to get a deal done. I think the future should belong
more to women. And young people. I won't argue with that. Well,
no, I guess I won't.
My mom is spinning over in her grave right now. She used to be
so in love with Robert Redford. I remember as a kid, when I was
like six, my mom would say I'd leave your dad and his whole
family for Robert Redford. This is why I hate Planned
Parenthood. His parents parents suck. I remember that. But now I
know that she would say oh, what a drip. That's exactly the word
she would use. What a drip. And by the way, Robert Redford not
looking good in the face department. What happened?
He's old. No, I
think the old old men grow 90. I think he had some work done.
It's not looking good at all. Well, that
wouldn't surprise me now. So here if we were talking to him,
it was kind of mentioned in the newsletter we maybe discuss a
little bit. He's 77 It's pretty old. But a lot of these guys
have work done and there's certain kinds of work that
creates this this face that that was noticeable to me when I
could we had a one of our producers who went back and
forth with their he was noticing Hillary having all kinds of
weird lines. Yeah,
that's what you get when you have a little Nip Tuck done.
While she's getting these, what I call it this there's a line
that you see William F. Buckley had it. And so the Gore Vidal,
which is you got to cheek that's kind of puffy, and you'd have
like a horizontal line across the bottom of the cheek when you
smile, you get this line that goes straight out. Yeah, that is
weird looking. Because it's like from the skin that was stretched
in some wrong way. I think it's possible that she not only had a
facelift, and she may be using Botox, although I saw her
eyebrows go up and down in the clip that guy sent us. Yeah,
that's not going to be Botox then. Yeah. But she definitely
has had some work done. We've already determined this. And
just remind everybody be good. Be good. No. Well, it's never
good. Let me remind everybody that we predicted that she would
do this before even considering a run for 2016 that she would
have worked done. And it makes sense.
We actually call when she had Yeah, she all of a sudden
disappeared. Yeah,
but the most she had she she fell down she fainted. She hit
her head. And then you know she's at The Plastic Surgery
doctor coming out there with huge glasses on.
Come on. Yeah, so she has to work done in her eyes. But she's
also had some little nip and tuck somewhere because now the
whole lights that are unnatural,
the whole the whole I think she had a little neck job under the
chin. Anyway, it's irrelevant because good for her. And quite
honestly, when she is President of the United States, I want her
to be tight. And I'm praying for her to be her become president
because of this. This very conversation. And and I have I
know many women who who say, I think to a certain degree my own
wife says well,
you know that a certain degree. Um, geez all in your mind. He's
listening to be honest with yourself.
She's Yeah, she feels that you know, that mothers will never
send their children to war. Um, What? What? Yeah, okay, so
anyway, so so there's a new movie out it's a documentary.
And when you look at this thing is now it's the here's the
there's good and warm. I don't know if there's any bad or any
good really, but this is produced by the the big marquee
names Sharon Stone and and she produced it Yes. With a couple
other people. And these are no slouches, the people who are
involved in this documentary, I can't find any, like crazy un
funding or anything like that I just haven't been able to find
it. I think that, you know, she, she and her cronies here
probably really did produce it. And they and that's the scary
part is they really, really, really, really, really, really,
really believe in women. Being in charge of being the boss of
us and making the world a better place. Here is a quick this just
one of these crazy sound bites, just to give you an idea of how
confused she is
thinking of it in terms of a feminine identity versus a
masculine identity. But I think that's just a hinge to how we're
going to think as we shift forward into our graceful
identity of thinking of ourselves as beings.
Okay, so clearly insane. Tell me what she just said there, I have
no idea here's the trailer for the movie femme is never been a
better time to be a woman gets a new birth again, this birth. And
by the way, women you're hearing here are all super famous like
Gloria Steinem and there's a couple others I want to
highlight. See if you can identify any of the
I won't be able to buy their voice. It's hard. I could guess
who might be women
are becoming the primal power person.
providing mentoring. For any woman who knows how to run a
household knows how to run a list.
Just want to make sure you've heard it right. Any woman that
knows how to run a household knows how to run a world. And
I'd like you to put you in his rocket ship and take you to a
world that you can run
cannot heal the patriarchy that women and men together could
what a real man does. Stokes the flame of the feminine. He Stokes
the radiance of the feminine he lets her be everything she can
be. And she is the power of source princess. Yeah.
Do you hear this? This is like the Princess The man has to
stoke the fire in the woman. And by the way, in the times
of hey, I got some stokin for you here baby in
the times of Cleopatra. That's how it was and and it
was a resort. This is like this is the the kind of harken back
phenomenon that we've seen with the emergence of the Islamists
and their desire to have the old caliphate back because things
were so much better than and this would be the same thing
with these women. And I think you nailed it. Cleopatra is
probably the model, like about Margaret Thatcher.
Oh, in fact, in fact, Oh, I'm glad. I'm glad you mentioned
that. Here is Sharon Stone along with. Now this is a very
interesting woman who I'd never heard of Marianne Williamson.
Never heard of, okay, Marianne Williamson. She actually had her
domain name is marianne.com. I'm like, okay, bitch, got some
dough, what you doing? She writes these books that she's
very successful in about, and she's hot and she's single. So
she writes about sex and swinging and whatever and being
a better woman and being a powerful woman. And there's
really no information
on whether she's had a lot of work done. She's 61 She looks
like she's 30 Yet
she looks hot. Well, but it's but it's unclear. I did find not
once she's grimacing, why just find one article, which I'll
read from in a second before any Houston, Texas. That's where
she's from. Here is here she is with Sharon, with Piers Morgan.
But I had to clip this because this what you just said about
Margaret Thatcher comes up at the end of this clip.
I think that when we look at how well Mrs. Clinton did her role,
I love this how Ms. Clinton did her role. This is coming from an
actress by the way. That's exactly what it is. You're just
doing a role is doing a role for your banker overlords. Wow.
And how successfully she moved nation to nation. I think we can
see I had a
plane.
I know. It's a big one too. We look at women. It's funny when I
was making this clip, I knew you were gonna say that I knew that
you were gonna say
these inner relationships country to country. How
successful that that can be. Maria, would it be different for
America as this great world superpower still
if Hillary Clinton became president in 2016 as she may
well, well,
when it comes to Her supportive women and children, her talk
about economic empowerment of women educating children,
particularly girls around the world. Obviously, she's standing
for a feminine perspective. But with Mrs. Clinton as well as
with other women, you were talking about world leaders,
Mrs. Thatcher, not every woman just because she's a woman is an
anti corporatist or an anti a supporter of the military
industrial complex, it takes more than just a female body to
really stand for feminine values.
So I have to say, I heard that I was like, Okay, wow, okay.
Well, she is watching this woman, be honest with herself
and say, Thatcher she was a conservative. She was a
conservative and they aren't women. There's no such thing as
a woman conservative.
She had a penis. I'm telling
you. Yeah, she had a lot of guys. The liberals in Britain
said, I'm not sure what bathroom she goes into. Yeah,
so this movie features this documentary Maria Bella Maria
Conchita Alonso, Gloria Steinem, Jean Houston, Mariana
Williamson, you just heard Nobel Peace laureates sharing a body
and Mairead Maguire and over 100 experts from around the world.
If you look at the if you look at who the other producers are.
So there's Amanda as estremadura She's, she's a producer, I
think, Andrea Baron is entered. Andrea Baron. Hold on a second.
I think that's the one Andrea Baron Yes. No, wait, no, that's
not the one she's also a producer. Here's the one I was
looking for. Then we have Barbara, Lazaroff. And Celeste.
Jaron, one of these women is like the co founder of Spa goes
the restaurant with Wolfgang Puck. This is money. Yeah.
Barbara Lazaroff as her spa go co founder to some of these
women and they're all like MILFy
Kyla, they've all had a lot of work done that well. They've had
worked
and Sharon Stone just she looks phenomenal regardless. That is
it. Isn't she insane? Who was it was married to her that we know
was that
Hearst? No, no, she was married to her first editor editor.
Right Bill Bronstein right. Bronstein wooed her and got
married
women got her whenever you and I we had a meeting with Bronstein
Don't you remember? Yes we did. Of course I do. And didn't I
bring it up and be like, Hey, how's that insane wife of yours?
Or did he bring it up?
You didn't say that? Or did he was very honest about it. I
don't know.
I remember him saying she was insane and drunk
she I think that's what he said split up at that point. Yeah,
they had they had I know and I know that you know I was doing
something once with Hearst and they were trying to get
Bronstein to give us like the watch the Super Bowl or
something and and apparently, Bronstein couldn't do anything
without Sharon stones publicist given him the okay ruin her
career and that was all that counted. So he couldn't go out
with the guys he couldn't do this. He couldn't do that he
couldn't be seen driving this sort of car. So this whole life
was just like and she was apparently just you know she
wouldn't have kids she was drunk she well there was that issue
she was she likes to drink Yeah, but the guys had one of the
restaurants that I go to that they like to go to said they're
always on pins and needles at the restaurant for one thing she
would always demand to come into the restaurant just what even
though it's heavily reserved place demand to table get it so
they had to find a way to get rotate you know
what? Sharon Stone
kind of just what we're dealing with them I
remember that
very they're just so they feel privileged they feel benighted?
Yeah and not in a good way like
be knighted. She would be overnight it is what she was
and she and this is the person who is now telling people how to
live live their lives no
no no better is that men men specifically need to what was it
be the they need to be roasting no sparking their women what was
it be homeless listen to it again. Here it is
everything she can be and she is the power stoking stoking.
Let me just check here and she is at the back a little bit
further. Okay, here we go is how to run a receipt.
cannot heal the patriarchy. But women and men together what a
real man does. Stokes the flame of the feminine.
A real man. A real man Stokes the flame of the feminine
matriarch.
He Stokes the radiance of the feminine he Stokes the radiance
lets her be stoking everything she can be.
Honey get down here right now. I feel like stoking she is the
power
of source of the universe. new tools and new vocabulary.
allowing space for emotions and communication, and also
supporting young women in finding their voice and speaking
their truth.
If men raise children as much as women do that awakens in men,
the nurturing that is in all human beings. And
I find this very offensive. This
part is very offensive. Now, let's go. Let me give you my one
of my favorite little things I saw in Berkeley. So there's
going up the street, there's these two women, obviously,
lesbians, but they, their friends of some sort, and that
boy friend, or the husband of one of them, was coming up the
rear with a baby on his back, he's held back, he's just had a
baby in the front, two babies. They're they're walking ahead of
him as he's wandering, he's the mule behind them with the two
babies beard, and these two women are yakking to each other.
And they're both look like a couple of real weirdos not to
make fun of anyone who, of course, you know, that
persuasion. But this, but they were looked like a couple of
actually look like a couple of assholes. And this guy looked
like a complete loser. And this is this is the future that
they're trying to get us to do here. Yes, yes. I mean, when I
saw this at all white benches, plenty of people that think
that's a good idea,
your future as a bearded mule that's a bearded,
bearded, that's a good boy.
That allows boys and girls to see that men can be as loving
and nurturing. It's been so imbalanced,
by the way men are is loving and nurturing. It's just not shown
in popular culture. This is this is real bullshit. But by the
way, that I'm not against this documentary for these very
reasons,
in the role of leadership that the masculine is all the way up
here. Even with a lot of women, politicians, suddenly the
feminine is beginning to rise. what leadership is calling for
now is a whole integrated individual that comes from the
heart and soul and knows that this
is transgenderism, I guess a whole integrated individual is
better for our society than what we've been doing. So
we want to help transform the world because otherwise the
children won't survive otherwise, by us here with the
collapse
of the population control issues lady,
the biosphere is going to collapse. Didn't you hear that?
She's going to it's going to collapse
the children we got to think of the children.
I was trying to insert it but then of course those great
things never work when you plan
the children later by the archetype of the Titanic,
because we're on it. We are headed to the iceberg. So what
we have we're heading to the iceberg do is turn around now
it's an iceberg. We have to turn around and we have to turn
around now we have to take back our power and say
no it's all about remembering peace. Love
are the growing edge of our species right now? They are
going to fix the world.
Someone gets shared another drink. Women are going to fix
the world. Okay, now I am not against this AI in fact I am all
for it. I support it. I really hope it works out I'm skeptical
at best but I think it's
a crock of crap. But no I mean I wouldn't I probably couldn't get
through that movie and I'm gonna Sharon Stone actually left Phil
Bronstein because it has a friend told me that knew them
both very well said she didn't want to get outed as a bad mom
so she moved back to LA where she would could blend in as a
bad she's yeah as a bad mom it's fine down there. You don't have
all these local stoops
I'm going to watch this tonight with Miss Mickey it's available
now on if you can get
through the whole thing. Oh I if I can make you probably stab you
in it's over. If I can get the knives way from
if I can get through man. Stoke me.
I balls off for me if I asked you to
yes of course me. I feel that we should start a new service to
curry Dvorak consulting and stoking company. Just give us a
call we'll come over and I'm stoked. Come over as stoke you.
I suppose I support this whole heart. I want Hillary to be
president. I want women to run everything and I will be I will
enslave myself,
like an Apollo tunnel running everything.

All right. David Julian in Morgan Hill $333.33 blue fire
hydrant.
There he is again.
Read the note I mailed to JC de for an explanation also
knighting ceremony needed this time around I plan to or no
knighting ceremony I plan to get knighted along with my brothers.
Oh, he wants to have a bro night image of did so yeah, it's a
combo bro. You not
it and feel say Johnny rights.
I wish I wish I saw your email. I asked him what was it all
about? This I recently brought up. I recently brought the 33
meme in conversation, someone suggested that if a code like
that existed, everyone would know about it. My rebuttal? What
are the blue reflective pucks in the road for their code markers,
whatever. And they're everywhere here in the States. They're just
not there for aesthetics.
And not everybody knows what they mean. At all.
Years ago, I was curious and did some no agenda inspired research
aka reading the source material put out by the government and
discovered they marked the existence of a fire hydrant. Now
I can't stop noticing them and it's turned into a game where I
try to spot the hydrant when I do I think no agenda and hope
others will do. A grand conspiracy to fool the public
fire hydrants are a bit benign, but I think it proves my point.
There are lots of messages out there. They're just not always
for you.
You know the shoes on the electricity lines. Shoes you
have you ever seen that? Yeah, you know what those are for?
Yeah, to embarrass some kid who's
No, no man that marks the drug dealer place. Does Yeah. Green
shoes. You can guess what's being sold there. White shoes. I
saw a pair of Texas diamond sparkly boots the other day.
Like I wonder whatever drugs they're selling. It's gonna ruin
a year that marks the drug. The drug dealers either the corner
which is not you know, they don't sell them on drugs on the
corner. Yeah, let's see.
Well, I'm looking for the blues little markers. Yeah, I'll be
looking for those on the flash on those little reflectors here.
So here's how it works. You when you see the blue reflector you
think, no agenda. When you see the shoes over the wires you
think? No agenda today. I want to get high. Oh, I'm sorry. No.
No agenda.
Exactly. Well, thank you, David. And now we know we learn again,
little tidbits that you pick up on this show, nobody else even
talks about which
and they're useful throughout your entire adult life and make
great cocktail party conversation.
If you want to be the guy at the cocktail party with these sorts
of stories, however, you know, no, no,
no, no. ease into it at the cocktail party. You know, don't
just go Hey, Blue dots mean fire hydrant. This is not how you do
it.
So anyway, so we still don't know what the 33 is. Matthew
Dupree in luff, Lufkin, Texas, what if they make the measuring
stuff at Lufkin, Texas because it Lufkin is one of the major
I'll tell you another little tidbit. All the you know, if you
have a tape measure, Lufkin makes one of them. Stanley makes
another one no craftsman makes there's a bunch of companies.
You have to if you're running a factory you have to standardize
on one brand. Because if you have any of these you can do
this trick for yourself. You can try this yourself, get any good
long measuring tape, it doesn't even have to be that long, but
usually the 150 footers prove the point best and pull them all
out. They're all off by a good foot really a
full foot, get the 150s
are shoes. So you have to standardize on one or the other
and then all your stuff is the same. I think otherwise, you've
got one guy measuring with one with a Lufkin and another guy
measuring with a Stanley, you don't have the same
measurements. Anyway,
so they do have a I wonder if this is the headquarters they'd
certainly do have a an office in Lufkin, Texas.
I would hope. So Matthew up to 1333 from Lufkin. Hi everybody,

gratitude day by anonymous. By anonymous proclamation. You guys
are my lifeline. Last year, I cycled alone from Madrid back to
Amsterdam. Wow. That's a cycle.
I knew it was bad in Euro land, but I didn't. That's pretty bad.
Oh, wow. And I allowed myself to listen to you for an hour when I
was feeling down tired or fed up with the world in the head be
fed up to it that driver. In the end, I made it all the way. The
only disadvantage is that whenever I hear you, I think of
rain and headwind.
This is not a good association. We need to reprogram. Okay. All
right. All right. All right. Hello. I'm gonna reprogram you
now. Okay. Peter. Peter. hookers. boruch.org/and. A.
Peter porn.org/n. A. We've done our clearing. You're safe to go.
So I want to remind people that we do have a show on Thursday
coming up and a little light today. We'd like to get some
pick up a little bit we do this would be the show before they've
sixth anniversary. divorce.org/and A child of
org.com/and a no agenda show.com. And also no agenda
nation.com is a place you can click if you can't get to
divorce.org/na
yet. We do need the support. You'll see everything's little
shorter today. And it's all we can say is help us I also think
the NPR stuff is tired everyone out, John. And do you hear how
they're doing it now? The because this is the big national
treasure public radio donation week. Oh, geez. And they're
they're literally doing this
whole value thing. Oh, they're using our value for value. Yeah,
there's
like isn't this valuable to you?
Oh yeah, valuable to you. And then I'm like, What would life
be like without us?
Ya know, imagine you woke up one day turn on the radio. And there
was just no NPR. And I'm like, hit Valhalla for no, like, net.
I'm not talking about some DJ who just forgot to put on a
song. I swear to God, this is the pitch I heard. No, this is
what will happen if you don't support NPR? No, it won't. And
this thing about most of our money come from listeners like
you. Bullshit. I can read numbers, I can read your
numbers. This is just not true. It's also not mainly from the
government. It is from advertising.
Ya know, the government gives them very little. It's like,
even though that counts, it is enough that they bitch and moan
if they're gonna get cut off. Well, that was enough for their
new building with what they got from the god. Yeah, the building
that make it 100 million a year or something like that, or I
think
that's more it's like 200 million from the government.
It's ridiculous. Sometimes they do say it properly. And they say
it's from small it's from from listeners like you and local
small business. But yeah, if you want to call Dell local small
business, okay. Yeah, it's local to
us. Burlington Northern.
And by the way, I'm okay with it. I enjoy hearing because
there's a lot of things I wouldn't know about happening in
Austin if they didn't advertise on NPR. But don't, don't pretend
like it's just underwriting and like, you would say, Oh, this
place sucks balls. And you won't because they're at the Zach
theater or whatever that is advertising. So you're
compromised. Comp, by the way, by the way, I we gotta tell you
that we're gonna go the Sandra Bernard show.
Oh, she still works. Yeah. And so
she's so I read in The Austin Chronicle. She has two shows one
night only on the 22nd of October, which I think is
Tuesday or Wednesday. And and Miki loves her. She thinks she's
really funny. And she's a great actress, which I agree with. And
I've met her once or twice. And I found her to be strangely
attractive. Yeah, in a weird kind of like, I don't know, just
strangely attractive. And so So I booked the 930 show, and I got
us VIP tickets, John. So that we can have a glass of champagne
with Sandra after the show. This is like I love this. That should
be good. Yeah. And then I get a call. Yeah, due to the
overwhelming demand for the seven o'clock show. We've
decided to do one show only and cancel the 930 I'm like, How
insulting are you right now? Like you're telling me because
the seven o'clock show is so there's so much demand for that
you're canceling the 930
That makes no sense. That makes nothing but sense to me. I'm
like I can imagine so we're gonna do less.
Yeah. So like, Okay, well, I guess I had I wanted to have
dinner but yeah, we'll do the seven o'clock show. Do I still
get the VIP seats while you're two rows back and like wow,
okay, do we still get the with Sandra Bernard. But anyway, so
they will not talk bad about her maybe after the show. But while
the ads are running on NPR, which they are. It's a
commercial outfit. People here is proof. Where is it? Okay,
moving on to money.
How are NPR is corporate underwriting revenues holding up
in the recession? And what about foundation grants to different
stories? Underwriting is underwriting is is down it's
down for everybody. I mean, this is this is the this is the area
that is most down for us is is in is in sponsorship,
underwriting advertising, call it whatever you want. There you
go.
Call it whatever you want. Anyway, hopefully we can pick
her up and take her home and party with her.
There you go. Yeah,
it'd be nice. I'm sorry. What?
I said I met her on a plane and we were both sitting next to
each other essentially. And then we chatted a while and she
seemed like a pleasant enough person but I was kind of baffled
was going to Ottawa and I was kind of baffled by the when I
travel and I'm especially I'm going to someplace like Ottawa
or anywhere. It's kind of anywhere actually I've always do
this. I never take a car I always rent a car because it's
more fun. You can drive around you can stop at hamburger
places. You can do all kinds of things. You can min mingle with
the public. But does she had a limo? It was like for some she
was doing a performance there and they gave her car ammo. I'm
always offered cars when I give a speech someplace, and I always
refused them. I say it's too expensive. I can't trust these
guys. You know, they put you in the back, they lock you and they
roll up the thing you get some back of some limo with darkened
windows, you feel like you're a prisoner. It just makes no sense
to me.
By the way, I'd like to point out that VIP tickets is a
difference between $25.40 $5
is 20 bucks to have a glass of champagne. Yeah, that'd be worth
it. We'll collect cards when you're in the back room.
It's not it's not a it's not a backroom. Well, who knows where
it's being done?
It's not worth it. You could have crashed it for free.
No, I'm not. I'm not a crasher. No. Anyway, what was my point?
Yeah, my point was
I hit him in the mouth, just play. While I was trying
to do that, and you interrupted me. That's what I want to do. I
said, go out and propagate the formula. Our formula is this. We
go out. We get people in the mouth
kid got mangled there. Anyway, sorry, kid. Anyway, so women,
women are going to save the world and we need they just need
a little stoking. And I'm excited about all that.
And I just think that's just a dead end. I don't know what
these people are trying to prove.
But it's part of it's part of agenda 21 is not going to stop
it is going to continue. And it's only going to get worse.
And it just it's going to be a part of life. And I'm I'm saying
right now I'm all in. Yeah, you would be it's long game for me,
but I'm all in.
So we just the show. Since the show has has a theme every time
we do a show. This one is the picking up little tidbits of
knowledge. Yes. I've got one here that was kind of surprising
to me. And that's got a tidbit of knowledge in it. It's the
Brazil sugar fire story if you are this
No, I have not. Yeah.
And a fire in Brazil's largest port has burned some 180,000
tons of raw sugar and pushed international prices to a one
year high. For people were injured in the blaze which
erupted in warehouses owned by copper sukar, the world's
largest sugar trader. The authorities in the port of
Santos said it took six hours to bring the fire under control.
Brazil is the world's main sugar exporter accounting for nearly
half of international sales.
Did you know that? No, I didn't. What was your accounts for a
half of international sugar sales doesn't surprise me. That
doesn't surprise me. And they also make fuel from the sugar
sugar that they use in their cars. I'm
glad that we screwed up the relationship with Brazil.
Well, which we did? And yeah, and then we firebomb their
place. You show up like hey guys, are there torture sugar?
How's your
sugar doing? Possible?
Wouldn't surprise me well, gee, there's a couple of there's
another fire going on there. The one in Australia of course. This
is a yearly story.
Yeah, this is this interesting. I'm not sure what
to do. Here's what's interesting about it. There I have two
clips. One is fired in Australia the PBS report and then that
then I want you to play the the the France van cat report and
tell me if you can spot a slight difference in the stories
reporting. Okay,
here we go. So first one is, make sure we've got it. The
first one is PBS
Australia. unseasonably hot temperatures combined with
strong winds to fan the flames of nearly 100 wildfires and 36
of the fires in New South Wales, the most populous state in the
country are burning out of control, smoke plume, stretch
for miles, and even cast an orange haze over downtown
Sydney. Conditions are still too intense to get an accurate
number of how many homes have been destroyed. Okay,
we've heard this game.
You heard that now you think now when you hear the second report
is little a little factoid kind of comes to the surface actually
right off the bat. That was completely left out of the US
reporting and I can't imagine why
can I guess ahead of time what it is? Yeah. That this is not
abnormal for this time of year. No.
In Australia, the country's military says it's investigating
whether major bushfires are linked to an explosives training
exercise on its land. Oh, firefighters have been battling
a series of major wildfires in New South Wales. With fears that
hundreds of homes have been destroyed, the blazes are
continuing to burn on the outskirts of Sydney despite the
easing of temperatures and winds. Alex Perry updated us a
little earlier from the Capitol.
The Australian Defence Force has admitted that it was content
conducting military explosive training on Wednesday when the
fire started now in question on how serious the link is between
the two incidents. The Defence Force says its focus right now
is on survivors and helping them Yeah.
By the way, hold on a second. I'm gonna give it to you because
this i i was looking for something like this wasn't
unsuccessful in finding it and you got it. So here's your clip
of the video. Clip.
Absolutely. Heaven forbid the military for anything.
Yeah. Because what I know is that bushfires around this time
of year are not or brushfires as you say, are not all that
uncommon in Australia, but what is uncommon is for it to be
around Sydney. Because he was last year the big fires were all
men. They were like Melbourne. Yeah. Which is not next door,
like New York and DC. So I was wondering, why is it happening
there? I mean, and here it is. So the military essentially set
some off. It caught on fire.
Why are they doing this during the fire seasons? They're
idiots. Well, no, we're not going to cover that. Because as
you know, and especially in this country, the military is
awesome. is awesome. And it's totally awesome and always will
be awesome. Can't we can't talk against that.
No, we we have these kinds of stories. We had it. We had it
let in the last show with the poor guy who got his national,
his medal of honor, but they were trying to the military was
trying to screw the guy. And there's a story that's emerging
in France on the Somali pirates. I got this off of then cat two.
And this is a story where there's a little military oops,
involved in the story where they were they just found these
pirates guilty of piracy and of some poor guy who owned a yacht.
And staying in France, a courtier has sent his three
Somali pirates to nine years each in prison. Friday's result
follows the April 2009 hijacking of a French yacht that led to
the death of its Skipper. The three pirates had asked for
leniency saying they were forced into piracy because of poverty.
French special forces stormed the sailboat off the coast of
Somalia in a bid to free flaunt lemma song his wife their three
year old son and two crew members. They killed two pirates
but also accidentally shot dead lemme song you during the
operation.
Dude, I'm so sorry.
How you shoot the captain dead?
He looked black.
It wasn't black. White French guy.
Oh man, that's bad.
That's really bad. Well, that's like dude story this going
around the I haven't there's no clipboard, but apparently some
cops are going past some guy's house and one of them decided it
smell like meth was come being boiled in there. So let's blow
it up. So they ran in there and shot up the place and killed
some 80 year old guy. Some old fart and there was no math in
there. The guy just stunk. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's the kind of
thing Yeah, well,
it's it's all part of
it's all where we're headed. It wouldn't happen if women were in
control. That's
right. If women ran the show, then none of this will be taking
place. No. And by the way, can we cross stoke if women for
us stoke yeah
like like my woman I think that's I think that's allowed
like my woman can can allow me to go and Stoke you can you can
I go stoke some other woman if I if she needs it?
You want to go stoke just randomly Stokes just
saying that if women if if real men, stoke other women to bring
them to their true potential, you know there's not enough real
men out there John and I think you and I so yeah, I mean, we're
gonna be in high demand.
Yeah, yeah, this is called bigamy. Bigamy. I think it
should become Mormons first. Yeah. Because some justification
for this. They probably have some tips.
Yeah, I bet they do. No wonder they're doing so well. Those
Mormons. All the dudes are stoking the women. Yeah. The
President had a new one today which and normally when he when
he throws out one of these little you know, what have we
had recently we've had common sense has been a big one. You
know, these these little catchphrases that
he's gotten. We should put a book we can put an e book
together with his catchphrase,
we could we could. And there's a new one and that he has in his
new podcast, the Heil everybody podcast and I wouldn't have
clipped it. And I had to, I had to click both instances because
he used it twice. And he actually messed up the second
one, which means he's struggling with it. But it's a it's a
doozy. And I think you'll be hearing about it more often. As
of course, he needs to spike the ball a little bit about solving
the world's problems. Hi, everybody.
Hi, everybody. This week, because Democrats man
responsible Republicans came together
responsible. Love this
government.
What a gym, this is a guy supposed to be bringing these
parties together? That's the way he does. Yeah, hey opened,
little little needling constantly, just a little bit
of the fault was removed from our economy. There's been a lot
of discussion lately of the politics of this shutdown. But
the truth is, there were no winners in this.
This is This was also mean by the way, the no winners, no
winners, no winners, no winners,
at a time when our economy needs more growth and more jobs. The
manufactured crisis, these last few weeks actually harm jobs and
growth.
Now manufactured crisis is something he's used before.
Yeah, he uses that a lot. And by the way, the manufactured crisis
doesn't mean it was just Republicans who are doing it.
It's all manufactured crisis, and everyone in government is
complicit.
And it's understandable that your frustration with what goes
on in Washington has never been higher. The way business is done
in Washington has to change. Now that these clouds of crisis and
uncertainty,
the clouds of crisis, John, clouds of crisis and uncertainty
of lifted, we need to focus on what the majority of Americans
sent us here to do. grow the economy. Hey, Craig, good job.
Wait, strengthen the middle class. No, lay the foundation
for broad based prosperity and get our fiscal house in order
for the long
No, I thought we sent you there to protect us. Isn't that his
job? What was his day he's changed over well, here's the
clouds of crisis, again, except now he messes it up.
We won't suddenly agree on everything now that the cloud of
crisis has passed.
Now it's the cloud now. It's just one. Just one cloud like
cloud, the cloud of crisis.
Everything now that the cloud of crisis has passed the cloud of
crushed hold back on places where we do agree
does someone they're going for like a Nobel Laureate position
or something? Pulitzer Prize, medical crisis. I mean, I'm an
illiterate. I really love alliteration. Yeah, I'm
illiterate. But I like alliteration. But clouds of
crisis is that the best you can come up with? It's pretty lame.
It should be clowns of crisis that
would I think I had I have another clip where I think he
maybe drops it in again. No, but this was the one this is kind of
a long clip which explains the the reopen I have to reopening
the government clicks, clicks click clips. And this is the one
it's got Obama going off on this. This one I thought was
this is similar, in fact that I thought it was the same one
because I was waiting for some of the zingers that were in this
one just show up in your clip. But I think that clip that you
played the first one, I think it was edited.
It's all edited his his his podcast, he can't do a single
five minute podcast. He has everything
edited with this again, this wasn't from the podcast. This
was from one of his stand ups. This is from one of the theater
shows yeah play this reopening the government with the Obama
kicker.
10s of 1000s of federal employees were back on the job
after last night's agreement. Elsewhere other signs of things
returning to normal. In the nation's capitol popular tourist
sites reopened the national Zoo's beloved panda cam came
back online. Zoo remained closed until tomorrow. The Senate's
Ohio clock resumed ticking its timekeeper no longer furloughed,
and national park sites across the country from the Great Smoky
Mountains to Alcatraz Island welcomed back visitors. But at
the White House, President Obama said despite the late night
congressional action, but Americans were completely fed up
with dysfunction in Washington, he called on lawmakers to put
aside partisan differences and work together for the good of
the country. Now that the government is reopened and this
threat to our economy is removed. All of us need to stop
focusing on the lobbyists and the bloggers and the talking
heads on radio and the professional activists who
profit from conflict and focus on what the majority of
Americans sent us here to do
crew I didn't hear it anyone say podcasters in there we we dodged
the bullet lucky dodged the bullet on that one John.
Bloggers. Blog. Oh, don't say podcasters don't say podcast
don't say pocket. Did you notice that they really
focuses on bloggers.
Oh, he invited a couple of bloggers to have off the off the
record conversation. Well, they're the ones that know if
they went for it. Of course. worse, John, if the President if
the President invited you and I to come and have an off the
record talk, I'm like sand Air Force One bitch. I'm, you know,
I refuse to go I
would fly out with Air Force One to pick you up. I'd even fly the
other direction just so we could party on the plane.
Yeah, well, they're not sending Air Force One out for us anytime
soon.
I listen if the president seriously if the President asked
us to come and have an off the record meeting, I would go
wouldn't you go? You'd say no.
Yes, I would. I would just stand my ground and so far as my
ethics are concerned, what do you make just typical person I
am and I would not go. I would say I'll do it as an embargo.
But I'm not signing a nondisclosure.
Oh, I didn't know we had to sign a piece. I wouldn't sign a
nondisclosure.
Well, if he just wants to chat about directors, I'm sure it's
going to be boring. So yeah, exactly.
That's the only cool thing is we get to hang out. Yeah, I mean,
you're not gonna learn anything but you think you think the
bloggers went to have a meeting with the President and they
learned something stunningly new
nose, you just told them to shape up or ship out? Exactly.
Just by the way, the beginning of that clip, you should just
play the first is like three seconds. It's Biden walking into
the EPA saying I've got muffins. I've got muffin. tins of
Yeah. You know what, what irks me? So all this stuff reopened
and the clock starts ticking. It's like, oh, I mean, how
stupid are we? But then the White House tours resumed and
I'm like, hold on a second. The White House tours were shut down
because of the sequester not because of the government
shutdown. They return apparently they found money somewhere.
Oh, that's interesting. That's crap is what it is. It's total
bull crap.
That thing was that was the tour's was shut down. Remember
that all the school kids?
We can visit the White House because of the sequester and the
mean Republicans skins of
Mr. Chris and now the shutdown is over. But not the sequester.
The sequester is still the same, isn't it?
Yeah, just the question is still in play. That was part of the
Republicans deal. There's nothing going well, there you
made a point of it. Yeah.
So uh, but apparently, we're being duped. Alright, so we do
have to scrap from the Red Book. In the let me see where do we
have this? Have a jingle for that somewhere? Maybe not.
Sometimes unconvinced, someone comes into my studio, and
rearranges stuff.
I wonder who that might be?
No idea. All right. Here it is, though. This is from the shadow
puppet theater department. This is Jay Johnson now taking over
the Department of Homeland Security incorrect. As I was
told by our people on the inside, it was going to be
English. But of course, both English and Kaiser Wilhelm
Alexander have decided to retire early in a couple of months. So
they're, they're going to fade off into the into the sunset. So
English couldn't very well become the head of the
Department of Homeland Security. I guess the guy from New York.
What's the what's the fascist police chief there, Kelly?
Kelly. So Kelly, I guess Kelly has to good. He's like, I don't
want to put a pain in the ass. I got an army here. I'm running.
I've got like Storm Troopers. I've got cameras. I've got
computer control rooms. It's like I'm not gonna go. Go sit at
a desk job. I'm on the streets with action, baby. So Jay
Johnson, very interesting fellow. And I found a clip and I
still don't have the channel. Al Jazeera America which I'm still
miffed about it, because they're doing some good work.
Yeah, at the moment. They are I agree. They brought on
a lady who I liked what I know. So they have a lot of pundits
everywhere. But this one right off the bat, just you know, says
where she's coming from, or at least that's in her intro. And I
really appreciated having that knowledge as she then talked
about Jay Johnson. I wanted to just go through this and discuss
it with you because I think it really lays out everything about
this guy. The good and the bad and really where he's coming
from which to have him as the Head of Department of Homeland
Security is frightening.
Yeah, I know. I'm sorry to say I also have I have a background
are on him as a clip. But if you want to play your
Yeah, let's roll through this. And let's see if we need more
than we'll play yours. I'm looking for this opportunity. I
had left government at the end of last year and was settling
back into private life and private law practice. But when I
received the call, I could not refuse it.
Yeah. For the money. must be great power. Now this is this is
all about power. So this guy is going if you've read in this
town, which I've talked about incessantly, you will know that
this is how you This is how you set yourself up to become 100
millionaire because you just go he's I'm a lawyer, everyone
knows I'm Laura. I got a private practice. Oh, I'm gonna go in
and get some creds. Do you have any? It'll be in this clip. Do
you know how to
Jana Positano become the head of the University of California has
never managed an organization like that.
Do you have any idea how many people work at DHS? Just a
guess? 100,000? No, it's in this clip, but your low. To discuss
Johnson's nomination We turn now to Tara Mahler. She's a research
fellow at the New America Foundation, and previously
worked as an intelligence analyst at the CIA, Tara, thanks
for being in well, I don't know if she was an intelligence
analyst or intelligence analysts. But she worked at the
CIA and I'm like,
good, good. So yeah, the only people that show up on
television now, work for the CIA. That's great. But
at least we know that she's going to be honest, because the
CIA is not friends with DHS.
And nor should they be No, but I like this. Thank you. So what
kind of a fight you think he's going to face on Capitol Hill?
You know, I
don't think he's gonna face that big of a fight. He's not that
high profile.
He's pretty good. By the way, this girl this mal or whatever
her name is prior to this name. malar. I think it's malar ma ll
er. I'll back it up
with the New America Foundation, and previously worked as an
intelligence. private
law practice. Sorry, I'll get an A when I received the call. I
think it's something malar. To discuss Johnson's nomination. We
turn now to Tara Mahler. She's a research fellow at the New
America found him a double L er nation, and previously worked as
an intelligence analyst. I got some intelligence here from the
CIA. Tara, thanks for being in. Thank you. So what kind of a
fight you think he's going to face on Capitol Hill? You know,
I
don't think he's gonna face that big of a fight. He's not that
high profile prior to this in terms of public name
recognition. And he's not that polarizing. And I mean, that by
looking at other people, President Obama could have gone
with however, there's been some criticism. He is a big campaign
donor. This is not unusual. Yeah.
$33,000 Hello. Did you notice that number pop up anywhere,
John?
No, I didn't. But it's funny. It Well, first
of all, 30 you Hello, $33,000. Let me forget it being the magic
number. $33,000 is just, that's a huge wad lots
of presidential appointments, have given monies to the
President's campaign in the past, including oh, gee, what a
coincidence. Yeah, appointment of Tom Ridge. So
although it does raise the question a lot of Republicans
have whether he's qualified for this job. Well, Republicans
have been out criticizing the campaign donor aspect of the
story. And there are some, you know, questioning credentials.
Now, Homeland Security is a role that you can tap from a variety
of areas, whether that be law enforcement, whether that be
someone with a legal background, which in this case, Jay Johnson
has, and it's very interesting, the previous few secretaries,
Chertoff, Napolitano and REG, we're all lawyers.
Did you know that I didn't know that the other two were lawyers.
I knew the Positano.
I didn't know Chertoff was a
whole government is lawyers. Yeah. Well, that's why it's
working. But do you know what this guy what his legal
expertise is in? Well,
tell me the kill list.
Oh, no. I
know that he's the one who approved the Yeah. MIKE LOPEZ.
So it's not actually that unusual. But the Politano at
least was a governor. And she had a lot of experience with
border issues that he does not
have. And exactly, I think actually the most credible sort
of questioning of his credentials would go to the fact
that he does not have immigration experience. Most of
his work has been in the Pentagon itself as general
counsel, under President Obama under Bill Clinton, also in the
Air Force as general counsel and a long practice in law, dealing
with security issues like drones, and, you know,
questioning about striking as you know, us civilians linked to
al Qaeda overseas, so he's striking.
I love that striking. I'm gonna strike you Oh, you mean kill has
a history in that area, not in immigration, not with management
of a 240,000 person bureaucracy with 240,000 people? A quarter
of a million other than Microsoft, a quarter of a
million people. Oh, there you go. Thank you. That's a great
analogy. Our homeland security is like Windows.
So this girl, Tara, yeah, she only was with the agency for
like two years after. And she's like, almost I don't even she
was a military analyst, supposedly, from 2004 to 2006.
When she was just before she actually went to school, because
she went to he or she nagged. No, she came out of school. She
came to Dartmouth I guess, but to her claim to fame as she was
an intern for Hillary.
Oh, that figures
just long enough and that she went out there to Dartmouth.
Then she went to the CIA for two years. Then she went to MIT as a
teaching assistant. Then she went And to a managing director
of operations and managing editor for bright wire. She went
to the global terrorism risk assessment project Ergo which we
need to look at Irga Research Fellow er geo research fellow at
the New America Foundation. So here we go back into politics.
And then she shows up and her now this is all from LinkedIn.
Now her her claim to fame is She's a guest commentator on
foreign policy national security multiple network she does. This
is what she does. Yes, she's appeared on CNN HuffPost Al
Jazeera. I like her while she's presentable.
I like her. She has half the homeland mobilizing women for
cybersecurity is something I found. Hey, can you look up
someone else? Sure. I think can you look up because I don't want
because you know, you don't when you look someone up, then they
get a they can see that you looked
at them? Da not if you know what you're doing. Alright,
well, here's how I do it. I asked you to do it. Bill. Claire
CLA I are no II. Does that name pop up?
I'm gonna say Who is he the principal Director of Customer
Service at the Aerospace Corporation. Is a bunch of bill
collectors like a crapload.
Any CL a ir anything with CIA?
Well, there's a guy that's Executive Director of the ESRC
group
is is the old unlike
age on the on the rundown you get at the beginning, you don't
get I don't see anybody that says CIA. CIA guys usually don't
show up on here when they're active.
No, no, he's he's inactive. Or at least, he wouldn't be like
active active running, shooting because he's in his 70s. That's
all right. Oh,
I doubt it. We can
work on him later.
All right. A little show drew for shows. The Thursday show.
Yeah, believe me for the due diligence.
Forget, okay, just forget I asked about the size of the
Department of Homeland Security. You know, we didn't hear him say
that he thinks that the war on terror should not this is very
interesting to listen, listen to what's being said here, the war.
So he apparently said, I don't have audio or video of it, that
the war on terror can't last forever. Now remember, this guy
is a lawyer and hear him say that he thinks that the war on
terror should not be endless. The War on Terror. Mahler is one
of the statements he made earlier this week. What do you
think he means by that? Yes, he made that statement. I believe
it was, you know, this week, but he's made that statement before
and speeches he made when he left government to the Oxford
Union and er, law school. So I think we're gonna see him take a
big role in terms of you know, whether or not some of these
programs might be wrapping down, you know, over the next, you
know, courses a few years, however, what kind of programs
do you think he may wrap down? Well,
you were just about to talk over the punch. You know, course of
the few years, however, what kind of programs do you think he
may wrapped out? Well, there's a question
of sort of when the legal authority for this war has
ended, and he's made statements to be, did you hear that?
Yeah, the legal authority.
There's a question apparently, is a question out there about
when the legal authority for this war has ended? This is not
this is not insignificant. Listen to, and it's probably
codified somewhere, listen to Yeah, sort of when the legal
authority for this war has ended. And okay, so apparently,
the legal authority for this war, the war on terror has
ended. And I think you're right, I think it's codified somewhere.
And this guy knows it. And he needs to figure something out
because of the terror that is being pressed upon the citizens
of the United States of Gitmo nation. And it has to stop but
but this is not being challenged because we don't know where to
look. I mean, I try and Google legal authority for the war on
terror. Good luck with that Google search. I tried digging
it no luck. No joy either. No being but I'd like to know I
know. We have a lot of lawyers out there who listen to the
show. I'd like to know we can Is there something we can point to
that says the legal authority for the war on terror has ended.
I'd like to know I think to me that was like whoa. Fascinating.
So this guy is so he's a trained killer because he will determine
if you are appropriate to be killed. And he will be in charge
of 240,000 people many of whom are trained to kill you. How do
you feel
right good do without him.
Do we want to play your background or just to
Yeah, it's it's a little different. It actually is better
than that other clip because she never really gets that this is a
this is like package so it's got more always more than
It's always nice to have a package and attorney and
government and private practice. Jay Johnson said he could not
refuse this opportunity to serve once again.
I am a New Yorker. And I was present in Manhattan on 911,
which happens to be my birthday, when that's right and beautiful.
Wow. Step back a was a day, something like this was
shattered by the largest terrorist attack on our homeland
in history. I wandered the streets of New York that day and
wondered and asked, What can I do? Since then, I've tried to
devote myself to answering that question.
Johnson served as general counsel of the Air Force during
the Clinton years. Then in private life, he became a
prominent democratic fundraiser up through the Obama campaign,
before returning to the Defense Department as its top lawyer
during the President's first term. As General Counsel, he
helped shape many of the administration's
counterterrorism strategies, most notably, its controversial
use of drone strikes in countries like Pakistan, Yemen
and Somalia. He also co authored the Pentagon's report on gays
serving openly in the military that ushered in the repeal of
the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy in 2010. Shortly before leaving
government in December 2012, Johnson spoke of the need to
fight terrorism without being on a perpetual war time foot
addicted.
I do believe that on the present course, there will come a
tipping point, a tipping point at which so many of the leaders
and operatives of al Qaeda and its affiliates have been killed
or captured, and the group is no longer able to attempt or launch
a strategic attack against the United States.
If confirmed by the Senate, Johnson will succeed Janet
Napolitano, she stepped down in September to lead the University
of California system. Like his predecessors, Johnson will have
his work cut out for him taking the helm of a sprawling
department, home to 22 agencies and still grappling with growing
pains more than a decade after it was created.
Yeah, like the like the complete anti male behavior, the sexual
discrimination in the workplace, which was
right in the lesbian discrimination against the men
which was neatly tucked away it shouldn't be in that movie, by
the way.
Which movie? Oh fam femme. Yeah. So let me get this straight. So
we have an ex banker who is now running the CIA FBI. I'm sorry.
He's the guy that came from HSBC.
Yeah, well that's for good reason. Yes, balsa wood. They
can launder the money which is what they're good at. Then we
have super attorney who determines if people should be
killed by drone strike death from the air. Sky. Hell, he will
by
the way, what is his name? Jet? Je je
je Ah, yeah, that's annoying, too.
Very annoying. And I pronounce a Jo Jo. Johnson.
Johnson. From now on. He's Johnson. Johnson. You got to say
Johnson, get Janssen Johnson. And then we have a lawyer
running the entire Department of Justice who is a gangster of
epic proportion. He is a mafia and he has a stranglehold on on
Jamie diamond for something. God knows what. Now of course, more
than a week ago, we played for you. The stunning news direct
from the analyst report. So you knew about this before it even
hit any any mainstream news about the $28 billion JP Morgan
has reserved for fines and penalties. Friday night. He went
to go see the the
copied to the copy. Holder had a sit down meeting with him and
they struck a deal the towering presence in world banking for JP
Morgan Chase was humiliated after revelations it lost
billions of pounds because of deals which went disastrously
wrong. In the run up to the financial crisis. Many
investment banks created sophisticated financial products
called mortgage backed securities. These special bonds
contained a mix of investments, but at the heart of them were
supposed to be home loans, which were considered risk free. JP
Morgan is alleged to have sold these mortgage backed assets,
knowing full well that many of the home loans were very risky.
Many people believe If these mortgage backed assets played a
central role in the near collapse of the banking system,
when banks realized in 2007, that a lot of their assets were
worth a fraction of their official book value. Last month,
JP Morgan was fined almost a billion dollars. In a separate
case, one trader was nicknamed The London Whale, because of the
size of his risky bets. So
interesting on this is the London Whale. That penalty for
that one trade apparently, is only $900 million. This is This
is nothing compared to the overall number,
this tentative deal to pay a record fine of $13 billion to
the US Justice Department with settle all potential civil
actions against the bank. But it doesn't mean that criminal cases
against individuals are ruled out. Here's Anthony babies.
Sure. Yeah, I'm sure we're gonna see all kinds of people go to
jail, not
know if it's a good thing to hang over their heads when you
want them to do what, exactly,
but $13 billion of this 4 billion is to settle claims that
they lied to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac about the quality of
the loans they sold to them. I mean, you're saying Lehman is
responsible for this financial crisis? No. Looks like these
guys just sold to the government. Bullshit paper lied
about it. Another 4 billion in consumer relief that I think
that may have been predetermined, they've already
paid for that a reserve for 5 billion in penalties paid by the
bank. The London Whale really was only 100 million in America
920 million in the UK. And so you just got to ask yourself,
they have the you know, let's say, How much money can you
they're borrowing this free money literally from the
government? They hold on to it. I mean, just from 1 billion if
you borrow a billion from the government, and you can hold on
to it for a year, that's $200 million in profit, isn't it to
get 2% on the on a on a billion dollars.
I want you to get NAT I think it's less. Oh, I'm sorry.
1% G only 100 million. But if but if you borrow a trinium
hundreds and hundreds of billions.
Yeah, you get some you get some you make out right, where the
banks who are so tight with giving money away.
So but Pete But nowhere, I mean, we can't just let this pass as
normal that this bank actually has that they have a trillion
dollars in assets. What? Where did this all come from?
Well, yes, in the wrong guy.
I know. It's stolen. It has to be stolen money can be anything
else. Where do you get that money from?
Well, he has all the bookkeepers error. Yeah. Yeah.
I think it's just the big spreadsheet.
Is here's where the money is, is right here. It says it right
assets. Yeah,
says it right here. And then for fun, so Jamie diamond sits down
with holder. And Holder says nah, nah, we're gonna if you
read the seven instead, they have an inside. They have a
stooge on the inside, apparently some lower level assistant, they
found one of her emails, and the email was to the muckety mucks
including diamond apparently saying, hey, these mortgages
their total shite. And we really shouldn't be selling this and
this is not okay. And we're lying. And so they have this
smoking gun email and she is now cooperating
until it's dead. Oh, no, she's
no she may have to testify actually is what they're talking
about. So that should be thrilling to see that. So they
have a whistleblower. And and this holder guy is just he's
squeezing the golden boy of Wall Street. That's bold, man. So
that's it's bold.
We'll see. Pro what he's definitely worth following.
I mean, then the only guy who ever writes about this is Matt
Taibbi of Rolling Stone no one ever writes this in any under
and he has I don't think he's written about this yet. He will
of course. But no one writes in anything understandable and we
just all sit back and go Oh, whatever. Oh, yeah. Well, it's
just JP Morgan It's pretty
hard to deal with Yeah,
it's the same thing with the NSA I'm okay now I'm getting really
angry people and I'm looking at you Oh bots. It is a gray gross
offense for you to make the NSA spying on American citizens a
punch line of your joke. And it's happening more and more and
I'm really I'm calling people on it. And I'm and I'm not doing
I'm doing it really with an annoyed angered look. Once a
well it's just me you and the NSA to That is not funny. It is
not funny, and I'm not going to allow it to happen on my watch.
Here's Eleanor Clift, the moron who tries to think less and
tweet more. Using the same NSA as a punch line, government
cautions of the Snowden revelations can continue. And
the head of the NSA Army General Keith Alexander is stepping down
next year, early next year along with his deputy, and the joke
and was not unexpected that
you see that she she's already ready to do the joke. And she
gets interrupted off script.
I saw his performance on one hour of television, I thought it
was terrific.
Well, he's stepping down to spend more time with his family.
And the joke is he's stepping down to spend more time with his
family so he won't be spending it with yours
Shut up.
Yes, discussing this become commonplace. I'm not allowing it
to like this turning the public into acceptance. So yeah, well,
yeah, they're probably listening in.
Well, if you look at the at the statistics, I think was it the
New York Times maybe even that had an article about this? No,
the observer. Public indifference is the real enemy
in the NSA affair. Yeah, I agree. And it really is. People
don't care. I got the two articles here in the shownotes.
You should definitely look at what is happening now. Just in
shopping malls and in around town with tracking you on your
cell phone. Through your Wi Fi that's on but your Bluetooth and
what is the the new iPhone five has these? What are these little
things? These iBeacons?
I don't know. I have no idea is an iPhone. Yeah.
I don't carry your phone at all. As you know, that you say, hey,
you know what I find I fixed it. I got it to work. My Google
Voice to aprs gateway. Oh, cool. So so I can I'm literally
carrying a radio. And it will beep when someone has sent me a
text message. I can read the text message. And I can send one
back. From your radio. Yes. Yes. And the cool thing is, write
this up. No, I am. I mean, this is incredibly cool technology.
And
Evan, how you doing? I'll have it published in the New
domain.net. Yeah, no.
But I actually want to publish these scripts. These, you know,
these are Adams scripts right now. It's like Rube Goldberg.
It's like, you know, the, the Google Voice hits my Thunderbird
Thunderbird triggers triggers. An email rule, the email rule
writes something to my hard disk, a cron job, picks it up
and then opens a Telnet session. I mean, it's crazy. I have to
simplify it a bit. But what's cool about it is that there's
aprs. It's a worldwide messaging standard. If you know, if you
have aprs on on your radio, then we can text message each other
all day long. Regardless of internet connectivity, this is
what's cool about it. So next month on the 13th of November
when they do the big blackout drill. Yeah, when everything
will actually blackout and the whole world goes to shit.
There'll be another text message my buddies
on aprs. Yeah.
The API aprs is, it's a fascinating thing to look at.
Anyway, I digress. And then I got this email from one of our
producers who has bell in California, I guess, as his
internet provider. And I put this Yeah, Bell California.
Important notice about how Bell uses information and they are
changing now starting November 16 2013. That's after the big
blackout by the way. Bell is going to start using the
following categories of information whether you like it
or not, web pages visited from your mobile device or your
internet access at home. This may include search terms that
may have been used, location, app and device feature usage TV
viewing and calling patterns. It says your internet service
provider is just going to use that whether you like it or not.
However, under these new programs, we will not share any
information that identifies you personally, outside of Bell
Canada, and I'm sorry, both Canada and its affiliates. And
how this information is going to be used is to create business
and marketing reports for other companies to create business and
marketing reports. And here's my favorite when you use the
internet on your mobile device law Top computer or TV, you
often see unfiltered random ads on websites. And within apps, we
would like to use certain network usage information and
account information to make the ads you see more relevant to
you. This is such bull crap ads may be from Bell or from third
parties. However, bell will not share any of your personal
information. Okay,
this one, they use this. Let me just stop you. They will,
because we've talked about this a lot.
It's big data, which I'm not calling bitches make data, which
is bold crowd, it's big Guinness,
this is all this is it's I've come to this conclusion. And you
can go on and finish this was your conclusion. But my
conclusion is, is that they have come up with this irrelevant
nonsense, as the as the real excuse to just spy on you, and
lock you in to something some bigger, bigger pile of crap,
there is no benefit to the user. There's no benefit whatsoever.
We've known this from our own experiences, and everybody out
there knows this. From your own experiences. When you go from a
website to website, you buy a basketball from Amazon. And the
next thing you know you're being sold another basketball over and
over again, a basketball. You already bought the basketball.
They don't even know that much. Because this is bull crap. Go
on. I'm sorry.
Well, I think it's worse. Oh, geez, yes, it's worse, it's
gonna be worse. They actually believe they can give you
relevant ads. This is the this is the bad part is there's an
entire team sucking of resources, sucking up your money
that you're paying to them for what should just be quality
network connections. And they aren't they are actually putting
Deep Packet inspections developed by British Telecom and
deployed by British Telecom putting that into place to
actually think that they can do this, that they can deliver
relevant ads. Now, the bottom line, big data is big do do. It
doesn't work. It doesn't exist is not going to happen. It's
just not how you we are not some uniform collective, that you can
scan a million of us and say all when he's scratching his left
nut, he wants to buy a woolly hat. It just doesn't work that
way. In fact, I'm really enjoying email advertising these
days. I'm really enjoying it. I'm really getting into it. The
spam is what we used to get, like, hey, click on this link
for a good time. And then you get like a stupid Viagra ad. Now
it's like email advertising is becoming very sophisticated. I
think that's why Google Google is smart. Alright, Google, this
is why Google said screw it this email stuff with the pretty
pictures. It looks great. We got to get it all under one tab so
we can put ads at the top. And that's all they know how to do
the whole advertising on the Internet. Bullshit. It doesn't
work. Yeah, people click on stuff. Of course, search
advertising works. And that's why all your the search engines
are bogus, live. It's all it's all geared towards that. But
when it comes to knowing who you are, no, I'm sorry. It doesn't
work. It's not going to work. It never will work. It's a pipe
dream. Where is my fridge? ordering the milk?
One of my favorites. Yeah.
And that is only one reason why we don't do advertising on this
program. The other one,
there's another reason and let me explain it, which is the
clip. This was actually kind of interesting. I didn't know these
numbers, again, part of today's theme, but learning a little
things. Play the clip PR and the news. The actual act of going
out shoe leather journalism is being really isolated. There's
less and less of it, there's less and less resources for it.
And there's a great Pew study out of Baltimore a few years
ago, that showed that roughly 96% of the news in the town
right was still coming off old media sources, right. But old
media was producing 73% Less news stories than 20 years ago.
So you've got a lot of churn around this, but not a lot of
they're there. And people get that. Now the great crisis of
the moment. And this is the thing to be really scared about
is that what we see is as old as old media, traditional media
declines as new media struggles, because there's not the
resources to do journalism. What fills the void? It's public
relations. When in 1980, when Ronald Reagan became president
knighted states, there was a one to one ratio between journalists
and PR people. Today, there is a four to one ratio for PR people
for every one journalist,
isn't the saying like if you're not pissing someone off with
your news, it's PR.
I never heard that saying but it's probably true.
I thought that I thought there was some famous person who said
that
I If not, maybe
so. Yes. So when it comes so, so I think we just go into a
show must move by donate to no agenda. Imagine all the people
who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun. Do we have a
bunch of people to thank you want to thank a few of them?
We're gonna thank the ones that gave over 50 The rest of them,
we think, anonymously because that's the idea, Craig.
Oh, yeah, we do ask you to write anonymously. I'm sorry. What am
I thinking? Yes.

all right but we have you left off at Frank from Chicago
$60 $60 Right.

longtime Boehner I started turning in during the days of

elevens they're also dwindling a lot of fibers because
a lot of people getting kicked off. Yeah, that's happening
again. I
got a couple of notes on Twitter. It's like why did you
unsubscribe me? And we're not doing it. And when they say that
we did it? It's not true. We didn't I'm very
disturbed by people who actually would say that because that
means they're not listening to the show. That's even worse.
Because we have mentioned this a million times we do not
unsubscribe anybody. Of course we don't do that. That would be
crazy. If you get unsubscribed just because Pay Pal decided
that you're a bad person. Yeah. That's Yes. So you should be mad
at Pay Pal. And in fact, you should condemn them for this
activity.
I'd like to send out karma to everybody, including some
special night carnamah for Chris from New Zealand. He's going
through a tough time right now. And particularly in memory of
Keemun and Kyndra. And Chris, who's feeling very lost and
lonely right now. And it's always a bummer. But I want to
make sure that we maybe it's Yeah, I think he is from New
Zealand. I just want to make sure that he gets his karma and

They finally wiped out the maple syrup.
Oh, that was gone in like two sessions with me. Yeah,
that's because you didn't. You weren't like me?
No, that's right. I wasn't like, you
know, I save grind and use it only when I wanted to use it as
Ah, that's what it's supposed to taste like.
No, I couldn't save that. It was too good. It's just looking too
good.
Yeah, you know, but I actually use it on stuff too. You just
drank yours. Definitely. Weird. No, I
didn't just drink me.
You drank it.
You know, hey, I was watching Erin Burnett. The other day. Oh,
I haven't watched her for a while.
She's about ready to give birth. Oh, yeah.
I didn't know she was married.
Now she's married to some banker do that. She met it. Oh, that
makes sense. Yeah. Oh, yeah. She married to a banker. But I was
watching her and I'm like, and my first instinct was, hey, oh,
has been eating the Cheetos. And then it's like, oh, wait a
minute. I see it. She's pregnant and I Googled it. And she's and
there was an announcement I guess couple months back but now
it's apparently that she's due in November so she must be ready
to pop and she must be ready just just suicide herself over
her job man. Can you believe this is this is not only a
report that is just unbelievably bogus, but then it's followed up
by an even stupid report. This is all Aaron's fault.
Henry Konecki used to love to fish and wait for crabs and was
doing just that last month near Ormond Beach, Florida. But after
he got home, his wife Patty saw something wrong.
During the night he woke up there was a small abrasion on
his ankle. We thought it was a spider bite.
By morning Konecki was in terrible pain and was rushed to
the hospital as the infection spread a chest ravaged his body
so fast. Two days later he died.
Can you believe this?
Go on Yeah. flesh eating bacteria known
as Vibrio vulnificus Vibrio vulnificus which just came
out in warm saltwater. Doctors say there are two ways to be
infected by it.
One is from an open sore on the on the body typically the legs
or when you walk out into the warm salty or brackish water bay
water in the Gulf
infection can also happen by eating tainted uncooked
shellfish, especially oysters. So far this year there have been
32 known infections in Florida and 10 deaths last year nine
Florida deaths the year before 13 crap
Wow shoot the Erin Burnett piece got cut off crap.
What happened at the end? Now
she went into another I'm sorry it's ruined fail. I'm sorry.
Just fail fail.
Epic fail fail we're seeing that come that's just terrible. It
sounds ruin the show. Some I was waiting for the punch show. The
clip got cut off. All right. I will here's the punch line. Then
a new punch line
Federal air marshal is in big trouble for allegedly taking
upskirt photos a female passenger.
I love this. Did you see this guy? No it looks anything but
like an air marshal. He looks like a creep. Air Marshal he
kind of had this visual of of like a burly
guy like this checking just checking shifty eyes you
know? He looks like a little nerdy sweaty palms geek. You
don't want this guy can't save us and he's running away this
this whole story there's something really wrong with it.
At least say a passenger saw Adam barge taking photos before
a Southwest Airlines flight from Nashville to Tampa took off
March was removed from the plane and now faces criminal charges.
Investigators say he admitted to taking similar photos of women
at least a dozen times in the past.
There goes it goes my subscription to upskirt.com
up scourge on it dumb That's the dumbest thing ever.
This upskirt is a huge category online.
You It's idiotic. Oh,
it's like this like the Whole communities around this stuff.
So I'm reading the Erin Burnett wiki page. Yeah. And guess
what's available to us as information.
Her height? Yep. Really? Yeah, that's good. Probably one of our
producers put it in.
I would hope somebody put it in what do you think it is? And
when you get one shot
57560
I was close to the youngest daughter of corporate attorney
Kenneth King Burnett and Esther Margaret Burnett, nae Stewart.
She attended St. Andrews. She returned to Texas. No, in
Middleton, Delaware's High School. Then she went to
Williams College and Lawson Williams. Oh, yeah, of course.
It's where they all study political science and economics
graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in political economy.
played lacrosse and field hockey. Oh,
of course. Oh, God, I wish I could see her back in the day
playing field running around my favorite sport. I love the
outfits up. There's something about girls in field hockey
outfits that just I love it. I could watch that. For hours.
I've told you this before haven't
you have I just it's just always stuns me because it's the kind
of information I repress. Or I failed to remember for some
reason why it's good and something weird about it's
something I just see you there you drooling in your hands, your
hands up on the on the on the screen thing holding tight.
Run girls run, watching the
girls run back and forth. It's a push Yeah, let's go. Let's go
left, go left push. It's
a push even though some of the I know some of the language
God. So what it was so well, Alon Yeah, one of the things I
wanted to do on every show coming up as we go along here is
at least one form of new embedded advertising that we all
have to be on the
lookout for. Oh, very good. I like this as
an ad. This is beyond embedded advertising. But this was the
Hawaii Five o guys driving in with their Camaro, or one of the
cars and ended they put this in as like it's like the Chevy
commercial. And they they just make this the most blatant of
any one of these things I've ever seen.
serves. And it's fynbos new Camaro that's making waves.
turning heads all over the island. Sponsored by Chevy ride
of Hawaii Five. We
we need an official ride. We need an official ride of the no
agenda show. We do. Yes,
we do need anything. Let's take a jeep.
It's the Ford Expedition 2005 model official ride of the no
agenda show. Some squeaks included
so I thought that was
pretty Oh, I have a different Hawaii Five okLET doing a
celebrating newfound wealth and blow Did you see that one?
No, some one of our producers. Didn't see it.
Yeah, that's pretty blatant. Usually that I guess the ratings
are good on that show though. Right? Because usually,
yeah, yeah. No, it's doing very well.
He was like kind of signals the end. Have you been following the
stupid Robin Williams Show? Are they still doing McDonald's? Or
are
they changed every show to a different average? Of course
makes so much sense. And I it's a very hard show to watch
because it's it's it's not believable. And it's it's I
don't know. It just doesn't seem to it doesn't it doesn't flow.
It's a it's a bad show. I'll be surprised if they carry it much
longer.
I have a I have a new segment on the show. It's called make John
go. Oh, brother. Okay. Are you familiar with this girl? Emily
Dreyfus? Emily Dreyfus. She apparently works for CNET. Or
maybe she writes for CNET or, and if you look at her, she's
kind of a natural, I think a natural redhead kind of cute,
but that's what she used to be and now she's no longer a
redhead. kind of cute. She's kind of like ding batty
annoying. Okay, for a second you can look at her I
see her picture.
Yeah, that's not how she looks anymore. But she was on we were
talking about 23 and me this is how this came to me to 23 and me
is this complete transhumanist nut job crazy hipster you know
sequence your your DNA and find out if you what you're going to
die from. I think you've covered it all. Yeah, just just want to
remind people and so she's on one of these shows they do over
there at CNET and of the end and 23andme comes up and I just
wanted you to hear this clip. And I only just grabbed a little
bit because it goes on for 20 minutes. Because this is the
insanity that is now blanketing our culture and how excited
people are about this I hate using the word addiction,
chemical dependence
or just an affinity for I just got my genetic testing done on
23andme which is a website that where you can for $99 you can
get your genome sequenced. What does that do? It's so cool. It
just like was really scary. It's so cool,
but also it's really scary. I think that's the crux of it
right there. It's so cool. But also it's very scary I was gonna
say it's
it's nerve racking as you learn you know if you have inherited
nerve racking John diseases or what you might pass on to your
children, but you also learn just like a lot about your
makeup, and it what did you learn a lot of Mako much, but I
learned that I genetically
now what what do you think she learned from all by the way?
Does
she wear a lot of makeup? She should? Well, she says you learn
about your makeup? Yeah. Okay. Well, I
have two things. That one is relevant to the story that I
genetically just don't like sugar. I don't like sugar. What
family does not like I don't have a sweet tooth. That's why
for dessert, I order more meat
off. So you know this, so she knows or she orders more meat?
Yes, yes, this she's very fun.
So they come out with a dessert tray and you're like, can I have
like a piece of bacon. So this is
not like news to her. She already knew this. But now
somehow this study has said you have the I like meat for dessert
gene. Oh, thank you. That's so cool. Take a petite filet.
But the really interesting thing that I learned as well, I
learned a lot and yeah, the funny thing.
This is really interesting. John, are you sitting down on
your chaise lounge for the end? The really interesting thing I'm
holding
on for dear life is that
I found out that there's a gene that will tell you whether or
not you are sensitive to bad smells, and specifically the
smell of other humans like body odor. Sure. And I don't have
that gene. I'm not sensitive to body odor. And either is my
husband.
Wow of them stink sounds so what we learned is that we're
probably both so stinky.
But that neither of us cares.
Oh my goodness. I
see this ad she's with when she said that. I mean to me this is
like once you just throw me a softball, because when she says
we were probably so stinky the guy should say tell me about it.
But these these cats don't know how to do a show over there man.
Well, they apparently have no sense of humor. somebody throws
that line at me on something being broadcast. I'm on it.
Well, she
even took it one step further. And then I'll as we
can't smell each other. You've gone nose deaf. Is that only
with other other budget beds? No. See, I have a great sense of
smell. And like when I'm walking down the street in the mission,
it smells like urine. I'm disgusted. When I am next to a
French person who has never used deodorant in our lives. I don't
care. I really rather really.
He said it. He said it. He said oh brother.
That is like the most bigoted thing you can just say casually,
like
French people smell as
big as bullshit. Of course it is.
But the whole idea of this 23 and me it's like, so cool. It's
just so cool. And then one time at bandcamp
tolls Bandcamp check.
Yeah, that's what we need. I think
if I was running 23andme I just be sending out random stuff.
Like a horoscope. You know, it's just like who says they're nice?
Just a bunch of bullshit. It's just just like everybody.
They're not gonna be able to prove you wrong. That's
what I mean. Who says they're not? They might be
would Hey,
hey, hold on a second. Hold on a second. I smell another
opportunity. The no agenda DNA sequencing corporation
5995
Swasey rice, Rozell, Nef and me. No 6969 69
We'll send you a gene sequence. Let's
see what kind of the wetlands let's write the list. Take a
meeting what kind of answers but
first, we gotta get a hold of somebody's paperwork so we can
take and copy Yeah, okay, so it
has to look official, and we'll have first one I think we should
always have in there. You may be transgendered, just just be top
of the list. It's always everyone. Everyone needs to
question their identity no matter what. It always has to be
in there. We can we can match it up a little bit. You know? Like,
you're probably bisexual you have the bisexual gene. What
else can we put in there? How about the you'll never be rich.
He'll never be rich.
You'll never make it
got that gene. Yeah,
yeah. Here are some other people who have the same gene Adam
curry, John C. Dvorak. Look at these losers, you're just like
them. I'm telling you, this could be a bonanza, we should
really consider it would be, you know, unless they do cross
checking, which I doubt they will know what's
going on up there. And in Canadia you see all this stuff
going on with the ah, the L Sapote. pug tog the first nation
like the indigenous people.
And yeah, this is what the indigenous people have in Canada
always kick ass. And so they're always irked about something.
Yeah, but
but I guess there's this land up there. And, and it's being
fracked. And they don't like the fracking because
it's annoying. It's all legit northern Alberta. There's a lot
of this.
Yes. And so they were protesting and then the, the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police essentially attack them. It's like there's
like cars on fire and all kinds of crazy stuff going on. Oh, we
had to follow up. Well, we we have a couple of producers who
are sending pictures and video but it doesn't it's not really.
I have to go on and on the Canadian Slingbox. So
the citizens are protesting Irving oil shale gas fracking
operations on Irving oil owned land. But it's just I guess it
borders on on their land. And of course, you know, what did they
get? I did probably have like sinkholes.
Oh, it's probably making a mess up there.
Yeah. And so they really don't I think Irving oil is a Texas
company, by the way. Hey, that's what makes it fine Houston
company fracking away. I just want to know what the what the I
mean, besides the fact that just don't like it. But what is the
real beef is? Is it messing up their land?
I'm sure it is. The soil companies don't care. So I'm
watching. I'm watching the PBS about the government's shutdown
member that person we had or that I had a clip of that was
just creepy that did giving government analysis. Like like a
big nurse. You know, from the movie, One Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest very tall. He's cleared really loud. And I'm
sorry that you feel that
way. But what was the I remember the movie talking about? It was
a
CIA person or some creep from and she couldn't answer any
questions. And she talked like this the whole time. It was just
a creepy clip. Well, there's another creepy, this probably
all part of this women's thing because they want to take over
the place. But this is another a whole explaining with the
stupidest thing I've ever heard for least a month, explaining
all the difficulties and the interesting parts about
restarting the government she was the she's one of the head of
budget management is something that has had to do with
restarting and just want to wanted to slap this woman. I
only have a short clip, but play it and tell me there's a little
piece of information here. It's a little weird.
Sylvia Burwell, welcome to the NewsHour. Thank you so much for
having me today. So how smoothly did today go? I think today went
relatively smoothly. We haven't heard any hiccups. And people
were brought back to work and learned that they needed to come
back and are starting to bring the government backup as quickly
and effectively as possible. But 16 Day shutdown at what are the
challenges of getting the government back up and running
or some of the government back up and running after something
like this. So a number of challenges. The first was making
sure that employees knew and I think you probably know that
things went quite late last night. So making sure we had
things in place so that government employees would be
notified that the government would be up and running would be
a starting one. Others have to do with actually things as
simple as information technology, and the use of
handhelds and mobile devices and how those work after for 16 days
not being used. And then there comes sort of the longer term
issues. There's a lot of work that's backed up that people
will need to focus on, for instance,
wait a minute, so if you don't use your government issued
handheld technology, it expires,
falls apart. What is that? Has it been used for 16 days it's
getting rusty
might not work?
You got to bang it you got to bang it to get it going again.
It's just hard to get the thing restarted.
You know, how embarrassing is it for the Obama legacy? This
healthcare.gov website.
Here's the weird thing about it. I didn't realize I have a clip
from thumb Hartmann, your your buddy.
No, no, it's your buddy
who describes in his normals kind of snarky way? What was
supposed to happen? What finally did happen all the rest of it?
And he doesn't realize it but at least when I heard this clip, it
brought to mind a huge question. And thank you all for joining.
Thank you. Okay, here's the deal. And just Just to recap
this, when the Affordable Care Act was passed, the law said
that every state had to create their own exchange, they had to
pay for it, they had to set it up. You got to do it. Then it
went to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court said no, not so
much. It's up to the states. And a bunch of states said, Screw
this, we're not going to do it. And the original federal Portal
was supposed to be just that you go in, you put in your social
security number, a little bit of identifying information, they
say, Yeah, this guy's a citizen, will hand him off to Oregon. And
then Oregon would handle it. But because so many states, because
so many Republican governors who said no, we're not going to do
this, the federal system, which is now in use in these red
states is crashing, whereas Oregon just signed up 10% of
their entire uninsured population, 56,000 people in 14
days, bang, just like that. And the problem here is that when
the when they realized when the federal government realized they
didn't have enough money, they didn't have enough resources to
make the federal website work for half of America, when it was
really only designed to work for, you know, as a portal.
Question comes to my mind, do you think immediately after
listening to this? Oh,
the question is Tom Hartman. Hi, is the question that popped in
my mind
is what comes to my mind. It was designed as a portal, are you
telling me that they spent $600 million plus, on what was going
to be a portal?
Well, let's What were you telling? Let's set a couple of
things aside, first of all, the $600 million thing is a little
bit of a Republican meme that is out there. Because that includes
all of the CGI, federal contracts, not just
healthcare.gov. So that that doesn't make sense. We need to
stop that. However, the the initial contract before all the
add ons was $97 million.
Are you telling me that they spent $97 million? Yeah, a
portal? Well, here's realize that, you know, Digg when it
first came out, you know, what they paid to the first developer
who co team
1500 bucks?
1200? Yeah, see,
I was over. Well, so here, here is the thing that I that I need
to explain, coming from having done some of this type of work.
With my first company. We did like derivatives trading desks
for a bank. We did some other things we did like I can't
remember what it was. But I think SGI, before they were
bought, didn't SGI get purchased by sun or somebody? Yeah, I
think so as part of the, the effort to make them look pretty.
I think we had 15 people. And we were a New York headquartered
company, we had 15 people on the ground in that would that be
Mountain View? At the time, I don't know your task. And me, I
think they were I think SGI was in Mountain View, where
it was either Mountain View, Palo Alto, or it was very
expensive.
And all these consultants and we have, like, you know, a guy who
knew how to run this kind of project, which is essentially,
you know, a project manager who then integrates with other
project managers, and they have deltas and timelines and, and
reports. And, to this day, I have no idea what we built. I
don't think it ever worked. It was hundreds of 1000s of
dollars. And this is what happened. The the Obama
administration, our current administration, and it's not the
president is Valerie Jarrett. It's all these a holes running
around there. They think this shit does not stink. And they
it's the hubris that they thought, Oh, well, we're the
we're the most transparent, most technologically adept
administration in history. And we know how to do this we we
want, which is also a farce. You know, they like, oh, we won the
election based upon our big data. No, you didn't. It's based
upon credit card donations from overseas and a lot of fake
money, foreign money, you didn't win that on individuals and
slicing and dicing data. So they actually are smoking their own
dope at this point. And this is a project this is this happens
all the time. And it is a complete, sorry, for lack of a
better word, abortion, it will not ever work properly ever.
I've seen this, John, you've seen this happen. When when you
get these big contractors, if they're integrating someone
else's package, usually they can make it work. So if you get one
of the big ERP, you know, like bei Bong, or what's the SAP,
SAP, you know, these are the consultants and it's also
millions of dollars to integrate, but it's a known
package. This is like, we're all going to make up a piece of
software. Imagine a bunch of government contracts. There's
two Oh, we're gonna go make the iPhone. They love this analogy
by the way. Well, one when the when Apple releases a new piece
of software, it's glitchy. By the way, any journalist who uses
the word glitch again should turn in their journalism
credentials.
You've been I'm waiting and waited for you to say that
because you have bitched about this in email. Yeah, for a god
knows how long but you've yet to bring it up on the show. I
cannot
believe that any organization that puts the words noose around
the description of what they do find it acceptable to use the
word glitch.
I'm gonna argue the point is true. It is just a meaningless
term,
it is totally meaningless. And it is insulting to people who
care about why this is happening. You cannot This is
unfixable. I know how this work, the minute you get all these
contractors in oh, we're gonna make this thing, it doesn't
work. That's not how software it's making software is hard.
It's very, very, very hard. They just make it look easy. And if
you get an I just I pity all these developers who were
brought into this, and I mean, you go ahead and look on
LinkedIn, see if anyone has Oh, I built a healthcare.gov. I bet
you no one's putting that on their LinkedIn.
healthcare.gov? I don't know. Let's find out. No.
And this is it's not so. So what I what I fear is happening is
that this is
impossible. And so we're working on
it. And we're trying, it is very difficult for our leaders to
just admit, they have no no one knows what is going on when it
comes to this type of project. And they have an may, it may be
Vivec. And all those guys bailed like fine. I don't want him to
have any part of this credit deck is a phony I'm out. Now
they probably all bailed it. No one said, Who do you point to?
Kathleen Sebelius. And this is another thing, the one that when
there's reporting on PBS on NPR, on any of the three letter
networks, whenever it's about this complete abortion of a
technology project, it's always the medical reporter. I don't
this is so dumb. We need to technologists, we need someone
who can explain why the technology has grown, why the
policy of the technology has gone wrong, and why we need to
be very worried about other great ideas that are
technologically savvy administration claims to have at
their fingertips.
I have I have five people that all take credit for
healthcare.gov. Really,
you should you should friend them or how does that work going
to
your boss not that easy. But I can do an InMail and get a hold
of it. They
actually admit to it like yeah, I built that. Oh, yeah, no,
here's
one guy says. I won't mention the names yet. But I'll dig.
I'll talk to him. First, let
me let me give you an example. When you when you get an airline
reservation. Now, by the way, my company in 1993, we helped
integrate Continental Airlines ticketing system with the end
that they had their own ticketing system competitive to
American Airlines at the time, integrate that into the Web Fly
continental.com. They later bought continental.com. And we
actually helped with the really with the pretty pictures, none
of the backend stuff. But to this day, when you order plane
tickets online, typically how it works with the bigger carriers
with the legacy systems like oh, I don't know health care, is you
get your everything is an all caps. There's abbreviations in
weird places. It's like you pay and then we'll confirm later.
These are batch processes. This is not like some instantaneous
beautiful thing this is integrating with with IBM
mainframes and COBOL which was never changed. This is you know
what I mean? It's like everything's all caps. Now we
can't do anything but all caps in the world of airlines. It's
because this is this is how bad it is. Have you ever tried to
change a reservation online? Now you always wind up having to
call in. Right? And it's because they know all the codes Yeah, so
all the pretty pictures and everything you see on the front
is just that and this is not going to turn around and what's
the result of course is going to be that you will see reasonably
high premiums everyone's going to get screwed because the
insurers aren't going to sign up enough people so the premiums
are that's dynamic by the way so that's all going up with huge
What do you call it? Your your own deductible now $5,000 annual
deductible I mean, that's ridiculous
no the whole thing is a fiasco it really sorry I brought it up.
No, it's very sad. It's sad and I'm angry that that no one is
asking the right questions about why does this happen? How does
it happen? Is it fixable and all we're getting is lip service
from your news organizations who call it glitchy what is that
even a word in the dictionary?
Yeah, I think it is. I think it's been in there for a while.
Let me see glitch. Is that gli tch Yeah, glitch. Let's see what
the definition of glitch is definition of glitch. Merriam
Webster okay for you, or do you typically like
to use a different I don't really give a crap Merriam
Webster is fine
and unexpected and usually minor problem especially a minor
problem with a machine or device. Minor malfunction. A
minor problem to how can how can you say that with a straight
face? Oh, you don't
know any better? I Yeah. Oh, yeah. Change topic.
Alright, change topic ever since China? The Chinese at Baidu?
Baidu? I think I do. What about my do I think Baidu is accepting
bitcoin? Baidu or Alibaba? Probably both. But I think Baidu
I don't believe this. Let me see Hold on. I have it here. I have
it here let me see. I'm gonna get the get the article is a
couple articles about this right now. Bitcoins high today was
185.
It's on a roll. Well,
we've got to ask questions about this. Okay, here it is. turmoil
in global financial markets recent news of leading global
websites accepting bitcoin may have bolstered enthusiasm for
the digital currency but most interesting maybe see and wise,
definitive recent price leadership. That's the Chinese
yen CNY I presume. So what was here lon, here we ongoing
campaign. Baidu is now accepting bitcoin for certain services.
Yeah, hookers.
But this is very interesting, because, you know, we pretty
much presumed that Bitcoin was only usable for Silk Road and
you know, some other like renting a server or something.
And we saw it go, it was it was 50%, lower after the Silk Road
rolls of buying opportunity,
buying opportunity, it bopped up and look at it now. So now it's
just it just went from 179 to 183. Just that now we're talking
about it, that's the influence of the show. I've got to think
that we've always suspected there was something going on
here. I've got to think that there's I'm going to revise my
flight my thinking that this may be a US agency that's running
this thing it's kind of
a great idea if I was if you could manage it, I think it'd be
a great idea to do it that way. It's kind of way keep tabs on me
because you know that you can each Bitcoin as it goes through
the system, it is actually trying to change information of
where it came from what it did.
That's kind of the beauty of it, you know, and all you need to do
is just do that with $1 No, you all you need to have is just the
you know, the the exchange point, wherever, whenever
something changes into a into hard currency, you can trace it
all the way back and see where it came from. So it's almost
kind of by design a great tracking mechanism. Yeah, Tom,
I'm, I'm very wary of this. It makes no sense that this thing
is trading this high, based upon the fact that there's nothing to
buy with it. What are we going to do? Every single time there's
bad news about Bitcoin, the price the price goes up.
Yeah, somebody's supporting it. That's my point. Yeah, you can
do that so easily. It looks like the easiest thing in the world
to manipulate if you're the guy manipulating it. And there's
still this question about who invented it and all the rest.
Yeah, it sounds very much like a spy operation.
Well, I still have about 75 Bitcoin left.
You're rolling in dough?
I spent all the rest on Silk Road. How much did you spend on
Silk Road? Yeah, that must have been at least 20 bitcoins
really? Yes. Yeah. Good talk yeah, man.
Welcome to agenda has really groovy dude. If you spent one
bitcoin it would be a shocker.
Oh, I have no I spent a Bitcoin. Yes. I said, Yeah, that's no
more than that. Actually. I probably spent about two and a
half Bitcoin. That's just, I was testing it out.
Here's a funny story that played locally with a bunch of strange
kind of built in memes to this what you No that just a thing
called the dry ice bomb.
Yeah, this is the thing that was at the LA Airport recently.
Yeah, there's a dry ice bomb it dries bomb is a is a
thought was not really an instinct not to realize it's not
it's essentially you
take a container that's got a screw top lid you throw a piece
of dry ice in it, and then you close it and dry ice melts it
the pressure of the carbon dioxide builds up and usually
blows up the container. Right? And you know, there's not much
to it. But the way they make it sound is those that actually you
know, improvised explosive device. Oops, sorry. No, sorry,
hit it.
A second worker Los Angeles International Airport has now
been arrested in connection with a dry ice explosive devices that
were found there. Earlier this week, two of the devices
exploded. A third was found that hadn't detonated. Los Angeles
Police say the latest person arrested was a ground service
worker who was a supervisor of the first man arrested.
Fortunately, no one was hurt in the explosions.
Okay, so this is there's a broader thing going on here. And
I bet you Nate
is it is specifically refers to exothermic reactions. It's
not it's not a detonation whatsoever.
No, but they use the term freely. The whole thing is like
is makes it sound as though there's some danger to these
things. Well, yeah, sure. You could take a packet thing with a
shitload of dry ice into a container of water usually, and
put some nails and stuff in there would probably, you know,
make make a mess, but it's not.
Well, there's I think there's an overarching theme here it's the
war on weapons in general. And this is a war
on fun. Most of the dry ice things are used by kids and you
know doing you know, you throw it into a trash can. And you
they pool a bunch of garbage flies out.
Well, there's there's a there's a report that I've picked up on
and this is this, these reports are coordinated all over the
world. And I was a couple reports from Europe and it's
been going on for really for years, but I think now it's
going to come down to some legislation. And, and I think
it's time to snap up some stuff while we still can.
The most recent incidents both involve planes near New York's
LaGuardia Airport. In one a shuttle America plane was on
final approach Tuesday night, about six miles from the runway
when a green laser illuminated the plane's cockpit. The second
incident happened about three hours later, a private plane
reported a green laser two miles from the airport. The Federal
Aviation Administration provided this demonstration of what the
pilot sees.
The demonstration by the way is really outrageously lame. FBI
Special Agent in Charge rich Franco
it can blur the vision. Basically, you can like fog the
vision of the cockpit when you're looking at the glass so
that it's much harder to look at the glass and identify locations
where you're going.
That's their expert, by the way. You know, it's makes it hard to
see what you're going handheld
laser pointers are easily found both online and in office
supplies.
I just saw a big flash out the window and the cabinet saw a
green light inside the cockpit
in 2006. There were 384 cases reported last year there were
more than 3400. There has been a 17% increase in the last year
alone. The FBI has now made laser pointing a federal crime.
Ah, that is new. Laser pointing is a federal crime. John, there
you have it. And I think it's time to snap up as many of these
laser pointers as as possible. They are in opposition or as
opposed to dry eyes. I think they are very effective weapons.
And some of these 650 milliwatt lasers.
Well, the big ones. Yeah, they dangerous you can burn stuff.
Yeah, yeah. Blind people.
What No, no, but you can like set stuff on fire. Yeah, yeah.
These are great. I think, great. What, for billing and for
putting stuff on fire. This
is and let's see, let me give that. Never let him go. I'll
never forget.
And maybe you remember the story when we were under eminent
domain. Remember, we had moved into the into the new flat in
San Francisco into the loft. And they started tearing down every
building around us remember that? And then all of a sudden
it started going 24 hours a day because the city of San
Francisco said Oh, that's okay. No one live in there. And in the
middle of the night there were wrecking stuff and I took out
the laser pointer and I flashed it on one of the construction
workers reflective jackets. Do you remember that? Yeah. Vaguely
didn't they came up and they're threatening to kill me. Yeah,
they were very upset with that. And I have to say it's a really
threatening device. You shine that on somebody's like, boom.
So they're outlawed now it's it's a federal offense. Yeah,
you
would have been arrested in thrown in the slammer?
Yeah, I think there's, these are going to be outlawed and you
should buy them now while stocks last you're going to want to
have one of these. These are great little devices. Tell me
you don't have one. I have a bunch of them. Yeah, you have
like a really powerful one.
No, I don't have any of those. I think those are I don't like
having them around the house. I really rather have a loaded gun
in the house and one of those things. So Cory Booker was so
man I know Cory Booker got elected as a senator from New
Jersey. Yep. And his acceptance speech I have here and I want
you to tell me and listen to it carefully word for word and then
tell me what it is he said.
Too many people are forgetting that the lines that divide us
are nothing compared to those ties that bind us if it forgets
the cynical attitude forgets the idea that that ideal the truth
that we are all in this together I'm there
wow. Okay, yeah, the lines that divide representing the lines
that divide us are nothing like the ties that bind us I got that
one. So in other words, the ways where it's more similar is
beautiful as to the ways that we
like him.
Let me let me hear that again. Too many people are forgetting
that the lines that divide us are nothing compared to those
ties that bind us Okay, so the lines of dividers are nothing
compared to the ties that bind
compare not compared compare well
of course what's its quarry speak
it for it forgets the cynical attitude forgets
the cynical attitude. The cynical attitude forgets the
idea
that that ideal the truth, that we are all in this together.
Nice. And that's a senator.
Yeah, great. Yeah. Another idiot, right? That's great.
New term in the war on bullying. New term, new term, new Term
or Term alert. Hey, she's mom to three young children. She's also
a business owner and a former fitness model. Well, she posted
this shot on her Facebook page, a picture of herself with her
three children in the caption, what's your excuse? Well, I set
off a firestorm people have accused Maria king of being a
bad mom photoshopping that picture even bullying. A
Facebook user named Fiona wrote quote, please do not assume that
your situation is everybody else's. Don't fat shaming Maria
Kang and joining us now on Skype from fat shaming. Don't fat
check. She
had that clip a couple of shows ago and we never got to it. I
never had but fat shaming clip does not know the fat shaming
thing is new. This is a different version of the story.
And fat shaming. And I like I like it. Oh, you're fat shaming
is and a woman it goes has a reason. She says What's your
excuses. She's got a you know, gorgeous body and she's got
three kids and she obviously just works out all the time. And
she's just bragging about herself and then they they give
her crap about it. So she's now a bully. Yeah, a fat, bully fat
shamer I think that movie femme is a bully movie. It's bullies.
Anyone who watches it, bully women watch it when you watch it
holding hands on the couch. Tonight, I want you to think of
yourself as being bullied
holding hands. And one of our producers, I think it's one of
our kids in school have his name here he sent me the bullying
circle. This is I should have sent I should have emailed this
to you. The Olweus bullying prevention program. So they have
whole programs now in school as a part of I guess, common core
or whatever that is intended to just see what's the guy's name
it's crap when I was named here so there's a student's modes of
reaction and roles in an acute bullying situation. So imagine a
circle John in the middle of the circle is a dot with a Y in it
that is the victim the one who is exposed I'm reading this and
then we have a circle around it with the little dots ABCDE F and
G A is the bully or bullies who start the bullying and take an
active part. Then you get be the followers slash henchmen. They
take an active parties who do not start the bullying. They
have see the supporters or passive bullies who support the
bullying but do not take an active part then d the passive
supporters and possible bullies. They liked the bullying but
don't openly display support so they're secret bullies. And then
II have the bully wannabes, bully wannabes.
Then you have E the disengaged onlookers who watch what happens
but do not take a stand and then F possible defenders who
disliked the bullying and think they ought to help but do not.
So essentially,
when they left out the one guy, there are heroes. No, I've seen
bullying when I was a kid not there's usually a guy. There's
one or two big tough guys usually who hate the bullies.
And when they see him bullying somebody, they come in and start
a fight with them and usually beat the crap out of them.
Where's that guy?
I don't see him here on the circle.
The whole thing is bogus. They're not letting the normal
dynamics of a social situation actually play itself out.
They're making this stuff up. Well,
they have the Olweus bullying prevention program. Oh, l w. E U
S. Holy crap. I've never heard of this. Let's Let's google this
for a second. Oh, l w. E U S. Bullying Prevention Program.
Wow. This is for real. Stop bullying.gov award winning
program for schools and communities. They have kits,
DVDs and workbooks. Wow, here it is.
It came out at Clemson. What's Clemson University Clemson.
Clemson University is a big school in the ACC. Let's see.
Bullying Prevention Program. Yeah. When the two of the guys
that are shown on this picture I guarantee are bullies. Yeah.
There's a lot of all of them now.
Well, it's a lot of intervention by adults. And not a lot of
intervention by you know, like, and I do I agree with you. I
remember getting bullied from time to time and having one of
the like, the big guys step in usually someone who had been
kept back a grade. You know, he was older than everybody else
and a little quiet. Usually, yeah, bigger. And he said, Hey,
stop that. And you'd be like, thankful. But then they go like,
get off me. You net. I just don't like seeing injustice. And
we need more of that.
Yeah, well, they don't talk about that. Active Zoo. I have a
couple of things that I'm gonna get to on the Thursday show. I
want to mention we still want to talk about the meme going around
the UK about the 800,000. Lonely.
Yeah, I heard that on NPR as well. I heard. Yes.
I've got a couple of things. I'm doing a little research on
finding the one of the people that was involved with the early
studies done in when this began was actually 2010. And the one
thing that I found weird was the mean, because I did some meme
searching where you take a big chunk of text and throw it into
Google and see where it starts to show up. And the one the one
idea was to 15 cigarettes a day. You know, being lonely is the
same for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, which I
find somewhat ironic as they were discussing this with 90
year old women is like, wow, how do you live that long smoking 15
cigarettes a day. And I will discuss this in more detail
because I have one specific contact who went on vacation
from one of the universities who was actually partly responsible,
I think for some of these early memes that were picked up by the
British and I'll discuss that on Thursday.
Okay, it's the chronic loneliness was the was the meme
chronic loneliness. I guess I the only thing I want to wrap up
for you today with is a report which actually The Daily Beast
found the stenographers husband, Diane, righty, remember the
stenographer who Oh yeah,
there's the craziest monography that was obviously blasted from
some beam and freaked out and on the stage
well, would you like to know what their story is after they
found her husband and interviewed him? Of course,
I think there's a way to end the show.
Okay, so her husband is the 54 year old Pastor Dan reedy Rei D
why? And he says that in weeks leading up to this she had at
night repeatedly been awakened by the Holy Spirit and urge to
deliver a message on the House floor. And he said that she she
kept waking up in the middle of the night here just waking
several times night feeling that God's just been pressing on her
to open a Bible and get into his word. And and she just couldn't
take it anymore. And when she saw the vote and and I actually
would forget the religion stuff she saw it was going on she's
and this is a rather long article, but it's worth reading,
essentially people making deals, you know, all on the back of of
the shutdown and everybody lying everybody you know, just in it
for their own for their own personal gain mainly, and then
when they did the vote, they're all hugging the people who had
pretended to be the hate each other the people who pretended
to like each other. Everyone has false face. Everyone's just a
huge phony lie. her. And she and according to her husband, she
snapped, and she just couldn't take it any longer as a God
fearing religious woman. And it's a great story. Beautiful
story, kids and she just she just cracked. And if you listen
to what she said, where you know, this is not one, there are
a lot of people in America who are religious and believe in
God. So, you know, she's one of them. And then she says, Hey,
this is not one nation, indivisible, under indivisible
under God, this is bullcrap. And the Holy Spirit told her to say
it, because she just couldn't take it any more. And if you
look at the sequence of the vote, and then she's standing
there, and she's seeing like, you don't know who it is,
because it's hard to see in this in this wide shot on C span.
Yeah, I think she just went, Oh my God, these guys. All they did
is they just they just played a journey. Basically. She's like
us, where she saw the bullcrap. But instead of getting a podcast
you decided
to get arrested? Yeah. Podcast, get arrested. Do one or the
other.
I mean, you really you got to make a choice in life. Don't you
have a beautiful story. I still like the extremely low frequency
beam into our Abilify better. But I'll take this as an
explanation and I understand it. I think there's a lot of people
in America who feel the same way. And maybe not just in
America. Gitmo nation. It's possible you feel the same way.
And we're here to help you understand why you feel crappy
about it. So you can feel better have a laugh about it. That's
right. That's what we do. If if you didn't chuckle at least once
today, please never come back to this program. If you did,
consider giving us some value at the vortex.org/na o Are you on
twit today? Yeah, I

Travis heights hideout where I've got at least one powerful
laser pointer. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley. I'm John C. Dvorak. I
