Transnistria or trans mystery? Which one is it?
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak
is Thursday, March 20 2014 It's time for your gizmo nation media
assassination episode 601
This is no agenda
masquerading as a debris field and FEMA Region six and the
traverse high tide on Austin Texas in the morning everybody.
I'm Adam curry and from
Northern Silicon Valley we have I think leverages say
I stepped on your name but I got
all over me. Well, I got confused you did? Yeah, but that
didn't mean I wasn't gonna say my name.
To trigger happy man I'm trigger happy it's the best podcast in
the universe. Happy
slap happy trigger happy.
There you go. Well, it's official, John. No. Yeah, it is.
It's official. Okay. Our news media has just shut down
completely. There is no other news except debris field. Oh,
God. I looked up the ratings bonanza.
No, I was listening to one of the talk show radio am guys who
was gloating, saying you know you He says you people criticise
the am talk radio guys, but we have not gone on to this
craziness that they've gone on in their TV. And he explained it
as a daily ratings boost. And I was listening to him thinking,
Wait a minute, you telling me that these guys are getting hot
ratings for this crap? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I
have the numbers here. Hold on a second. Why is my Hello Firefox
you're slow today. Hey, you gotta love that.
Notice Google's slowed way down. When you do a search it takes
forever. For this. It used to be being used to be bowl pow.
That may be that actually may be a DNS thing on your end. I've
seen that with it being a DNS problem.
I don't have a DNS issue. No, no, of
course not. We all have DNS issues.
I'm using the Comcast DNS How could that be bad? Oh,
there you go. That's your answer right there. Oh
to 808080808
No, don't go don't go to 88888 You should do the open Nick.
Definitely do not do the Google that's how they can hijack you.
I like being an object. It's so much fun. Hold on a second here
I have checked recently with the icon drop Trojan. Here we go.
The answer? Here's the deal if you get a skid these guys then
there's also a thing called Hi lady or whatever it is. And so
they it puts out you know those double lines that used to be on
web pages that you
Oh yeah. And you'd mouse over it and it pops up a little box with
an X so
that people said this sucks and they stopped using it. Well, now
there's a Trump person attack, adware attack that does it just
does it randomly page. People who advertise on those things
should know you should never buy their product.
Do you do not have a blocker active on your, on your on your
browser? I
have blockers I get plenty of stuff.
I'm sure you do. I hear this through a tremendous story that
is completely in our wheelhouse that a senior CNN executive who
asked not to be identified, defining the defining the
network strategy for its coverage. As I'm reading from
the New York Times. CNN ratings soared last week eating with our
aviation theme, and over the weekend rising by almost 100% in
primetime. They literally have doubled their numbers with this
bullcrap.
Have you watched any of it? It's unwatchable. And
Fox does the same thing. It's touchable. I love the Martin
savage who were back in the simulator here. You're in a
simulator. What are you doing? Now? The whole thing is it's
disgusting. It really is. It's of course it's got all of the
memes This is how sad we are as a human race. You know, we love
all of this stuff. And you know, ultimately we're talking about
293 people sad bad day but you know it's not like that's the
only ratings are up who gives a shut up curry. Who gives a crap
I heard it this thing got so out of control. Let's just get it
out of the way right now. Here is a here are the shark jumps.
So the first one is Don Lemon that he's He has six people in
the box actually have clips from Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. This is
important to show you how the whole we could the world could
be burning down. In fact it is in some parts of the world. And
no one in America. No one would know I'm not quite sure how it
is in other countries. I'm sure the BBC is doing something else
besides this. But then again, maybe not. But here. Just think
of the resources we have done. Lemann, he has a sex Dubach box
to six people on screen in a box with a six by six sector box. He
has three people in the studio. And and he's reading tweets it
was hijacking or terrorism or mechanical failure or pilot
error. But what if it was something fully that we don't
really understand? A lot of people have been asking you
about black holes and on and on and on and all black holes,
black holes, yes conspiracy
theories, you know, says What else can you think about black
hole Bermuda triangle and then Desi says, just like the movie
lost and of course, it's also also referencing the Twilight
Zone which has a very similar plot. That's people are saying I
know it's preposterous, but it is. It's a process you think,
Mary?
Well, it is a black hole is about you know, a small black
hole would suck in our entire universe. So we know it's not
that. Oh, so we
know it's not that. Let me just check. John, how are you? Sure
we have not been sucked into a black hole?
It's my call to you to her.
It's yeah, right. Okay, so that was a jump number one. Then here
we have both. And this is about Israel's response. And by the
way, I got notes from Dutch emergency personnel, emergency
rescue personnel, the you know, the big nuclear summit is taking
place any day now. And all of the Netherlands is they've got
walls and gates and choppers in the duchy going what is going
on. And one of our boots on the ground producers says that he
actually got notice from his superiors, that they need to be
on the lookout because you never know that mh 370 could be used
as a shameful no landing in The Hague on the on the conference
and killing everybody this is. And I said that the guy said
dude, are you sure that this is a reasonable? No, this is this
is I really got this information. So here's broth and
of course Israel has checked in. And they're very worried about
this this plane reappearing all of a sudden and crashing into
Tel Aviv, I
guess, I guess the big fear that the Israelis have might have,
and correct me if I'm wrong is that this plane, this missing
plane may have landed wrong.
Quite nice. It could be refuelled
and then used as a missile, one of those high towers in Tel Aviv
or something along those lines, I assume that's what they're
worried about. Yes, this is
what we all assume I woke up this morning and thought if they
could only refuel the plane and use it as a missile,
they're worried about that. But they're also worried about the
implication of what this means. And I was talking to an aviation
expert there has been in the business for more than 25 years,
he
who shall go unnamed, because he doesn't really exist. I'm just
making them up on the spot help design,
this sort of threat matrix assessment, which even looks at,
you know, the number of people that are actually cleaning
mechanically working on the hands before they even leave the
airport to fly towards Israel, get ready has a very worrying
assessment. He says, Look, in the past, we were looking and
scouring the passenger manifest going back a couple of decades.
It
used to be we only had to be afraid of the passengers. We
thought the
passengers were the threat post 911. We thought the aircraft was
a thread that says what his concerned about now is that the
last ring of trust, as he calls it, the last ring
of trust, the guy making $22,000 a year may be
broken. And that is the air crews. What he is concerned
about now is the level of checks that the different airlines are
making on their air crews, some app pilots, he says, pass those
checks 25 years ago, he says they need to be more rigorous
pilots of terror.
Alright, so I was about right in the
way I should mention that. There have been more than a few of
these primetime dramas were the were the stewardess or some of
their agents of the Russian government. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
So this is not like a new idea. It's taken right from fiction.
So here's the final one. This is the final shark jump. This is
James Hall, former NTSB chair, the chair of the National
Transportation Safety Board. Oh, I
think I saw this guy. He's He's obviously got an agent.
Well, he's everywhere he's on. But he was on O'Reilly and one
of our producers pointed this out to be our project. He
clipped it for me. Listen to what he says that this is the
former chair of the National Transportation Safety Board.
Your facts? Same correct bill. My concern here is you know you
have the loves of the flight crew, their families as well as
the individuals that were on that aircraft. So I think we
have to be very careful and very responsible. I don't think we
have been able to identify who's in control of the aircraft. The
aircraft certainly made certainly some very strange
movements. Was anyone in control of the aircraft other than the
flight crew? And the question electronically are with the
cyber warfare, this existing was the aircraft being remotely
controlled
right, just like 911 remotely controlled aircraft, and it was
going left and right, because he had a joystick, it's hard to
control the triple seven with the joystick. Okay, and then I
heard this and I, okay, I'm done. I'm just done. Really,
really unbelievable.
Yeah, yeah, that's it was pathetic. But the whole, the
whole scene in the media right now is really deteriorated to do
beyond pathetic. And I don't want to go way off topic. But I
do want to play a clip that kind of is. It's actually in some odd
way along the same lines. This is taken from the Jimmy Kimmel
show. And this is how he Mandel in the clip is was the name of
this clip, humiliating the public? This is a clip this to
me tells me that. I mean, I thought this was the sickest
thing I've heard for a long time. And I realised that a lot
of the stuff going on right now, especially from these guys, who
are the higher paid celebrities. They, they are, essentially they
don't understand that. In especially in this dire time of
an economic slowdown. They're dreaming up ways to humiliate
the public and the public is going along with it.
A hidden camera game show which premieres a second season with
celebrities and people do the most awkward, crazy things for
my event. You know what, I'll tell you what the premise is
just really quickly. We have read in a restaurant, we'll have
cameras and microphones, we send a waiter over to call somebody
back and we just say to them, we just ambushed them and say you
want to be on a game show you want to win $5,000 If they say
okay, we give them an earpiece and back out. They can't let the
person they're with no, they're on a game show or anybody in the
restaurant, and they have to do whatever we tell them to do for
money. You can say for $1,000 The guy sitting with his son,
you could say, tell your son that you are leaving her mother
for another man.
Oh, that's great.
And you sit there and you go Willie do it. And if he does it,
how are they going to react? And then if he does it, then we'll
send in an actor. We'll send them the other man. Introduce
your son to his new mom. Oh, wow, Steven. Yes, this show
should be called how we ruins lunch.
You know, it's it's funny because Mickey had what is known
as an artist talk yesterday, be aware of the artist. And she's
doing a show with Peggy Weiss here in Austin for Expo and they
do a talk. And then we had the lots of people there but also
some friends including one of one of our robot friends, the
artist. And she she could not stop talking about the
conspiracy theories of this plane.
Really? Yeah. Like I
was really people find it fascinating. They love it. They
they they lose all sense of sensibility. And it's a part of
this very proud by the way. We were laughing at Japanese game
shows 20 years ago they make people sit on a block of ice
like man those jabs are crazy. Well there you go.
No is this is just if he said we kind of got cut off when he
first says but he says it's he says it's amazing how what what
awkward and crazy things people do for money. And it just seems
to me to
even mean television executives who will do horrible things to
people for money as well.
Horrible It's inexcusable and I think we don't need this guy
down there these are the same liberals I don't want to throw
it into the political realm that are always going on and on about
you know being the good guys this is like just a humiliation
of the of the of the the public. It's a it's a downgrade.
Oh, yeah. This this particular instance this this this missing
flight is a downgrade of humanity.
You know, it's funny because I would I didn't think it doing
what you just did with a kind of showing off this as a disaster.
Not a disaster to the I'm talking about a disaster to the
public. Yes to your scores. Yeah, so yeah, exactly. As we
have may situation that Ukraine that's quite interesting. thing
totally, there was a lot of good stuff that I picked up a couple
of thing Brzezinski was his operation that CSIS operation
was gave a one of these little talks, which you can't really
want you don't really want to miss because you get this word
that
we should probably just, I don't know why but sometimes we feel
like we should just explain briefly who some of these
players are. Because virginity is we know who he is. We talk
about him. He's a rolls off the tongue. But he wrote a book
called, was it the global chess game? I think I'm paraphrasing
the title. And he is a huge neoconservative, you know, screw
screw everybody type of guy who was foreign policy was the
Foreign Affairs what was he
the foreign national security adviser for Carter Carter,
that's what it was right. And then I think he stayed on for a
little bit and he became a superstar.
He's got dough, right. He's
got money, too. He's got a lot of money. He's became a
superstar in this business of kind of killing people. Create
creating
a, an environment to kill people, as security
organisation, which advises people to kill his folks don't
go out and do anything. His office,
his staff doesn't directly do it. But yeah, and the whole idea
is to, I would say, to manipulate the world into end
with media but also with foreign policy and with a lot of the
military industrial complex to give the crazy people of America
the upper hand.
Yes. And they've done a damn good job with Gary. Good.
Yeah, exactly. Carry in Nudelman are all in there. And his
daughter mica is on Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough. So the the
next generation is in place, okay? So tell me about so
Brzezinski. It's, it's like clockwork, when you get this
kind of stuff, he pops back onto the scene.
Yeah, so I'm watching this is the Centre for strategic
strategic Centre for strategy and International Studies, CSIS
is one of the think tank think quote unquote think tanks,
essentially a security report maker that gives do things to
like a report. This is like one of those contractors to the
intelligence community and the State Department, probably the
State Department more than anyone. But there's a bunch of
these operations. Another guy showed up at the meeting. It was
one of those meetings you know, where there's like a bunch of
insiders and some news guys and write about foreign affairs, and
which is great. And then of course, there was it was
Brzezinski Scowcroft and some reporter from some writer for
the New York Times who has a British accent so it's very
important and he says essentially covering the
Ukrainian situation you
know when you have oh, wait a minute, is that that Oh, hold on
a second. I was reading about it. Oops, I just messed
something up here for some reason my computer is not really
helping out today home I want to see was it CJ something or
others that the guy's
name wasn't a CJ had a name? I didn't write his name down.
Sorry.
Guys reading about someone wrote something. He's probably the
guy. Yeah, it's like if this guy shows up then then you know
that. Now here it is. CJ Chivers.
No,
I don't think so. Apparently CJ Chivers is, is has been
dispatched to Ukraine.
Oh no. Well, this guy was in Washington at the time and
wherever chivor
Wherever Chivers go the provocateurs Special Forces Oh,
you could like water. Everyone else go the time just all in
on this and then he also had that old fart on meet the press
or, or Face the Nation, whatever. Not not chip, but the
other guy. For some reason, the name is eluding me. Who's who's
deaf. I didn't realise he couldn't hear anything. So
everybody who came up in the audience. Yeah. All right. That
was kind of slowed things down. So this is if you want to get a
rundown. I have when I picked up Zabriskie went on for a while.
This is a couple minutes
and actually, we need to I have here the official pronunciation
of this guy's name, which we're not doing properly. Here is the
pronunciation. Speaking of jeans, there you go. The big
Brzezinski.
Yeah. So Brzezinski runs down the future Ukraine here after a
question from some buddy in the audience.
It seems to me there's a bit of a chicken and egg problem here.
Their their decision of what they're prepared to do may
depend on their understanding of how much support they may have.
Now, Dr. Brzezinski you suggested that Mr. E's don't
seem quite enough. It's a well known menu we can provide
intelligence support, we can provide advisors and training we
can provide non lethal equipment, we can provide lethal
equipment, we can provide air cover. So I've given you the
escalation. You already know where where should we be and
what should we be offering?
I think and then case, we shouldn't engage in contingency
planning for all of that in different portions depending on
circumstances. But we should couple that with a serious
communication to the Russians, that we would like an
alternative outcome in which we can be partners. But also a
reaffirmation that the Ukrainians resist, they will not
be along, we are not going to tell the Russians in advance
exactly what we're going to do. We may discuss some aspects of
it with the Ukrainians. But the test of the pudding is also in
the Ukrainians, they have to demonstrate that they really
value their territorial integrity, and are prepared to
make sacrifices to protect it. I think the Russians the way
they've operated in Crimea, as I've said before, we're
operating on a contingent basis. If there's a lot of resistance,
we pulled back, the same may very well happen. And in case of
Ukraine as well, particularly in those districts in which there
are some Russian people living, and we're demonstrating it and
done Yes, and so forth. So the Ukrainians themselves, first of
all, have to take some clear positions regarding what they
intend to do with some degree of credibility. Otherwise, if we
didn't do it, then I think we really are on a path towards
grievious instability in Europe, and also that spilling over to
Georgia, Azerbaijan. The Russians have scores to settle
with Azerbaijanis and you're gonna be elsewhere as well.
Certainly, Riga, which has a large Russian population could
be the object of sudden explosions, popular hatred and
conflicts, I mean, you open up all sorts of gates, our job is
to reduce the scope of uncertainty by commitment and
clarity and willingness to compromise on an intelligent
level. But that also means the President has to take a visible
position and speak seriously to the American people about the
problem that we confront, that we and our allies confront
jointly. and Mrs. Merkel's speech, I think, is a hopeful
indication that more and more importantly, Europeans are
beginning to realise that we're in this together, or lound, even
though he has some personal distractions has also spoken
strongly on this subject, which, you know, given his busy
schedule, is
all right, this, this coincides exactly with our other favourite
neocon douche bag, John McCain, who is essentially just
parroting what Brzezinski says only he does it in English.
I, you know, I don't think of McCain as a neocon. I didn't see
him as just a war hawk. war monger. Yes. Okay. Is once the
year right. I'll take you months to blow up the world. He's He's
irked about it. I think it's personally a personal issues.
It's, you're right. He's he's not really in, in the club. But
they like him. Because he's one of those kids that always had
the firecrackers. Like, hey, watch me blow up this frog.
Yeah, that's him. And he
had what I think was the quote of the week,
one of his problems is that if the people of Russia see a
thriving economically strong Ukraine on their border, they
might be and he's worried that they may be infected with the
same disease. But the United States of America, first of all,
has to have a fundamental reassessment of our relationship
with Vladimir Putin and no more reset buttons, no more. Tell
Vladimir, I'll be more flexible. Treat him for what he is that
he's awesome. He also hates Obama, by the way,
does not mean reignition whole Cold War, but it does mean
treating him in the way that we understand an individual who
believes in restoring the old Russian Empire, speed and
matter. How do you treat him? Well,
here comes here comes the best think
economic sanctions are a very important step. Identify these
kleptocrats and Russia is a gas station masquerading as a
country.
I gotta say that whoever wrote that line is girl that's one of
the best lines of
ever. It's Kleptocracy, its corruption. It's a nation that
is really only dependent upon oil and gas for their economy.
And so economic sanctions are important get some military
assistance to Ukrainians at least so they can defend
themselves so
that's the don't send them ready to eat meals or meals ready to
eat sense of military assistance. I guess that's I
don't know boots on the ground. You know, dudes, have you seen
these these in Crimea? The photos of the soldiers that have
no identifying marks on them, like, have you seen, not just
the ones that are being called Russian soldiers by the news
media are wearing black outfits, right? What kind of what happens
are they carrying? Listener coughs already know already
seven AR fifteens. Oh, interesting.
Yeah.
resumed the missile defence system in
public Oh, Czech Republic missile defence back at
Moldova and Georgia, both of whom are occupied by Russian
troops as we speak.
Georgia is not the
path towards membership and NATO. Yeah, there's a myriad of
steps that we can take. And it'll be very interesting to see
to what degree our European friends will join us. We're
dependent on Russian energy. That's
the fact the EU part so. So it truly is, then if I can under
kind of help with the neocon agenda. And I think McCain's
agenda. You're right. Now he sees that with military
industrial complex, we're pulling out of kind of Iraq and
Afghanistan, although we have a huge presence there and
diplomatic and the biggest embassy in the universe, but
pulling out we need to go in somewhere else. And we need to
basically be mean to everybody, and take everybody's crap, all
of your resources, they all belong to us. And I would agree
that Russia is not the strongest, it's been in there
taking advantage of the situation. They're going, Okay,
we're gonna go and get you and we're going to go, we're going
to come in and take your lunch money. That's essentially what
it is. And that's what these people do. And it is the same
particular Yes. And everyone's getting in on it. So you have
Nudelman, also known as Victoria Newman, but her in a real name
is Nudelman. Who of course, is married to one half of of the P
neck brothership. Which is what's the douche knuckles name
again? I got it. I got it. Again, it's very important for
my story. Kagan, she's married to Robert Kagan. And his brother
is Frederick Kagan. Literally the guy who wrote the project
for New American Century the Neo cons, who said, Hey, we should
we should have a Pearl Harbour. And then we should go into Iraq.
Okay, so those guys, of course, you know, Nudelman is out of the
State Department who's left Jen Psaki. And she wants to jump in
on everything, because I was having a good time. Everyone's
having fun kicking the Russians in the face. And so she tweets
out something, we had this, I guess one or two soldiers were
were killed, most likely by snipers, which would not
necessarily be Russian. And she tweets out something to the
effect of, oh, well, you know, Russians killing people. But she
got called on it in her little briefing, and it resulted
finally in a shut up slave moment, it was very embarrassing
for her as she overstepped her boundary trying to get in on the
action, because it's so fun over there at the skull and bones
stakes
are gone in the back. You tweeted several hours ago, stop
the shooting and Simferopol clear that Russia shot first.
And I'm just curious, what is this clarity based on? What What
are the facts behind the statement? Well, Russia entered
a Ukrainian base. And that's clearly an act that we have
concerns about and shows their level of aggression in this
case. So I think events on the ground seem pretty clear, in our
view, and we were just expressing I was just expressing
a concern about the reports we're hearing on the grounds.
But now you said you talked about entering a base. But in
the tweet, you're saying that it's clear that it's actually
fired a shot first. And that's a pretty
remember, she is the spokes hole for the State Department. So for
her to say ball Russian shot first they shot first bad guys
shot first. Is is a big deal
is serious allegation. So what what is this information?
Where's it coming from? Because there's been plenty of
conflicting reports on what actually has been happening and
some for oppo. So we're just curious, we don't see let me
just say we don't see how it's possibly true that the Russian
claim that they were there, they were not that someone else was
the aggressor, that the Ukrainians were the aggressor
can possibly be true, given they entered the Ukrainian base.
They're not saying that they're saying it's a provocation,
whereas you're saying that it's very clear, and they have said
that a little bit I think we're ready to move on.
And exactly the same lie as south of Cydia, that everyone
still somehow believes that Russia was the aggressor when it
really was Georgia who was the aggressor and the Russians who
protected their of their Russian brothers and sisters there. So
it's these kinds of lies this, this is how you can see what is
really going on, and
we're out to get these guys. Oh, yeah. I mean, the situation in
Crimea seems to be, you know, it was always in part of Russia,
and then it'd be just only since 55. It wasn't, and it's mostly
Russians, and there's some people that are trying to get
away from the Russians, of course, the Tartars in
particular, staying there, but the Russians had the place and
they'd set this whole operation up according to Brzezinski. They
it was well, well orchestrated this entire thing, and
everyone's all bent out of shape about it, but it seems that you
know, what was interesting about this CSI s meeting was they all
agreed that the United States was caught with its pants down
over the over the both the Ukrainian the results of the
Ukrainian revolution were overthrown or whatever you want
to call it. And this loss of Crimea temporarily at some
point, it apparently nobody was following this at all and
Scowcroft said it was like, well, we didn't we weren't
paying attention. Brzezinski agreed with that. And New York
Times, guys. So this is the State Department completely
falling this up.
I think you're right. John had said they were all over Kyiv
that we have McCain and Kyiv hanging out with Neo Nazis. We
got Nudelman hanging out pretzels on the on the square.
We've got the phone call. Let's not forget the phone call. Let's
not forget the phone call to the no chin monster, the High
Priestess of foreign policy for the EU, but like Oh really?
Didn't know there were snipers. Oh, gosh, oh, golly, oh, golly,
who hadn't heard that. And they were all over that situation,
installing the this rogue Bogota of government.
In fact, our show we picked up on the Chromium thing you did,
early. France 24. That guy, the bald guy who's floating around,
I haven't seen him for a while, was over there. And he pointed
out that this is going to be a hotspot and the US media wasn't
looking at this and I guess the State Department or anybody else
was in it and all of a sudden boom. It was just almost like an
overnight thing. And Brzezinski says it's because the Russians
had planned this long in advance. This was a this whole
thing was a giant scheme. They just didn't expect the whole
Ukrainian thing to go south on him.
So as a part of helping the the rest of the world, certainly the
United States flow into the whole meme of Russia is bad
Putin bad Putin, dictator, Stalin, Hitler. Propaganda
propaganda. We have the Liz wall situation, and there is an
update on that. I tried to stay away from her poo and ass. But
she Well, first I do have a fun clip. She appeared on The View
as a part of the whole as a part of her campaign. Yes,
this was a great move for
her. Wait, we wait until you hear the background. But here is
just a quick clip of her talking about how horrible it was to
work there.
The coverage was actually making you second was a propaganda
machine. Yes. So
by the way, the view I was when you have Barbara Walters, you've
got Whoopi Goldberg, you have you are talking to a cross
section of women in America, who will believe what they see on
this show. Barbara Walters is highly credible. I think Whoopi
Goldberg is highly credible to dissection of people who watch
the show. And even Jenny McCarthy. I think he's odd, but
yeah. credible, credible, credible, how?
I mean, how long did you actually work there? I was there
for two years. So that at what point did you say okay, I'm kind
of have a feeling that this is not right. Well, in light of
current events, I could see how the network was being used as a
propaganda machine to promote Putin's foreign policy. And
that's what kind of Yes, yes, right now, right now, and
everybody's saying two years, two years, but it's like, you
know, in an abusive relationship, and the woman
finally leaves do you blame her for getting in the relationship
in the first place
in this country? If a journalist disagrees with the
administration, they just get hired to Fox News.
She's great. I have to call objective reporting. With non
sequitur from Barbara Walters. That's we can call him get good
morning. No, that was disgusting. That was female
unfriendly. No one called her on that. It was an outrageous
comparison. In this day and age, well, you know, I've been in
abusive relationship. My husband been hitting me for two years,
but I couldn't get out soon enough.
That was unbelievable. Boy I've just borderline Oh, no, no, no,
no, no, no, but I have to say I believe you didn't get it.
But can I just finish this up? So I just want to wrap up wall
I gotta wrap up get go? Yeah, finish because this is a very
annoying one.
So the the, these Neo conservative, the Neo
conservative group, which is called the Neo cons we'll be
talking about they have changed face. What used to be this
peanut project for New American Century. There's now a new group
of not new but they're now all in the foreign policy
initiative. And if you look at the Foreign Policy Initiative
twitter feed on March 5, the day that Miss Miss wall here
resigned 20 minutes before she resigned their tweet this
foreign policy initiative he's tweeting hashtag word on the
street says something big might happen at RT in about 20 to 25
minutes. Then about 10 minutes later, 10 minutes before Liz did
her pool and his rant. If Pei tweeted, hashtag word on the
street says you're really going to want to tune in to RT
something hashtag something big may be going down. I swear to
God, that's their hashtag. And then at 526 The very moment this
girl quits on air, foreign policy initiative tweets, anchor
resigns on air cannot be part of network that whitewashes the
actions of Putin. Then she appears in an interview with The
Daily Beast, an hour later exclusive interview, James
Kirchick. And what is the connection to all of this? Well,
if you look at the Foreign Policy Initiative, you will see
the board of directors Well, first of all, the Board of
Directors, Kirchick is on the board of directors along with
Robert Kagan, Victorian Nudelman husband, who of course, is the
brother of the original P knacker Frederick Kagan, this
was a setup from these people. And there's the proof.
Nice, nice catch. Cat guy that none of this is a surprise. Of
course, no, but he's always kind of annoying that it's like you
go and you dredge up all this cool stuff. And then you go,
yeah, yeah, surprise, surprise. Like, God, I know. It's like,
you're going like, oh, yeah,
this is reconfirming. The basic thesis. Only in a big way.
Nobody else does this. Of course, everyone's all over.
I did have help on this. We, for this particular episode of the
Best podcast in the universe, a lot of help from our producers,
which is why we call them producers and not listeners.
Right? A lot of help. Okay. You wanted to talk about
the Well, I was just thinking that this Yeah, this is such an
obvious setup. And Liz wall is just I mean, I think she should
be ashamed of herself. And of course, then, I mean, she was
obviously sent in as a spy. Yeah, well, then she took the
money. She was paid by them and then made up this bullcrap. And
the other thing is, is that this is a she was stunned. shocked
that this was a an arm of the Russian government was pushing
its agenda. It's called Russia today. Yeah, hello. Are you that
stupid, but she's not that stupid. I must call this on
purpose.
I must call out more. What's Glenn Beck's thing? The blaze
the blaze? So I see I saw the headlines I want to see this
clip. He's got some hot chicks by the way over there. The Blaze
is trying by the way he's worked at Fox he mean he knows the
formula. Have you
seen Russia today's financial babe.
Oh, he's talking about the blog. We talked about her before.
Oh, wood, but now her shirts opened down to her midriff
well she was she was she dresses like a Russian whore? Well yeah,
the blonde that does
no good she's blonde I think she's she's brunette maybe she's
brunette now it's the market says the show well let me see
it's I think it's I'm looking now I'm looking this by the way
just so you know if you're new to this programme, this is how
we talk as television executives for ratings. We are not
misogynistic.
We're just dialling it like this is the way we actually this is a
mild version of what you'd hear in a in a closed behind closed
doors at a network I think yeah. Oh yeah. Or t.com When I say
mild I seriously mean
we're very mild. Yeah, what is her name? What let me just see
shows
a yard she's got a bunch of different streams they have the
one that comes out of Moscow and then they have the one that
comes out in New York and they seem to be completely disparate
they're not they don't ever bounce back and for energy you
can catch what some of their stuff syndicate and then catch
it on the RT network. Right. He's got most of the American
stuff. It's just a weird they've. You know, I don't know
who's running it, but it seems discombobulated if you asked me
discombobulated let me see technology documentary big
picture. Is it Sophie ko no it's not Sophie Coco.
thing it is eight ad E. That's the blonde. No, I think that's a
different one. Now that's not the one this one's a big giant
mouth. That word gives us a giant smile that you can see
every tooth is a little too big. Yeah, well, I I'll find it
again. It doesn't matter.
So the blaze has their version. And they're in on this. They are
in on this. Anything to make Russia look horrible. And let's
see what can we do? What can we possibly do to convince the
already crazed audience of the blaze and I know people who work
there I read their stuff some stuff is good. But wow, this is
this just this took me aback for a second when I heard this.
As for the record was preparing to file this story. Our
investigative producer was contacted by a naval officer
serving in special operations. One day before notice the music
was resigning his commission. He said he ordered a forensic
investigation into the 2008 crash. It was conducted by a
military contractor with expertise in global finance and
data solutions. It was done independently of Kevin Freeman
study. That report concluded there is overwhelming evidence
that China and Russia launched economic terrorist attacks on
the United States in 2008. There you will have more on the story
that's what
caused the crash Exactly. That's the whole story. Russia caused
the crash John those bastards wow those bastards and then but
this
what by the way explained to me and this would be nice to
somebody was would kind of define it. What is an economic
terror attack?
Well, it's ZEV.
It's clear John. They crashed the market for housing. The
unknown a bunch of Russians sold their houses.
I love the unnamed guy who was about to quit the military but
still had one last hurrah. I'm gonna give you this information.
Information
guys all bugged me. I mean, back you know, I listened to his
stuff too. And I agree with you. He's got something saved for
once. Well, something's really good. Yeah, sure. But let me
just mention that the all these guys are annoying, and they this
is all they're annoying you to support our show. Yeah, I was
gonna say this is a pet peeve clip that if you just went up
and down the list you'd look at and you go oh, God, I hope he
doesn't want to play that.
Sean Hannity show intro. I want you to listen to this carefully.
I know honey, it's time for it. We need to spend some time apart
I think no, I know you too. Well, now I'm gonna listen to
this thing I'm gonna hate it
well, you're gonna you're gonna hate it but you're gonna you be
interested in my commentary or my complaining
party credo is bad. To the revolution
Sean Hannity show more behind the scenes information on
breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for
America.
But Bucky, wait, don't say anything. Now I hear every time
I'm listening. I'd go through the channels. I'm driving around
and I picked this up. And this by the way, he's got lots of
native advertising on this show. And I totally corrupt just the
immersion. So I'm listening. I listen to this intro. This is
the intro to the show in the hour. We'll put a boot in your
ass it's the American way Hell Yeah, bitch is to me the most
offensive thing that anybody could put on the air besides
using the word ass Yeah, well, good. So this is a digital the
American way according to this guy the way he thinks because he
thinks this is a great clip he obviously put it to your help
put it together produce it. This this opening. So his thinking is
our job is not to really be friends with anybody is to be a
big bully and put a boot in your ass because it's the American
way. What is the American way? Yeah, to me it's a lot of things
but putting a boot in somebody's asked is not on my list.
Have you seen Ukraine?
Well, we put a boot in there asked exactly
what John cedars
diva of the day is saying, I just every time I hear that I
go, who does this guy think he is? And what is his message for
guy
was such broad, you know, you'd think that he would have Sean
Hannity to Sean hannity.com Which of course is pointing to
no agenda show.com That shows you what boot he's got up his
ass. That's that's i i could not agree with you more. It is very
disturbing. Unless it's done in parody, kind of like, you know,
the Team America. That's funny.
No, this guy's got no humour now, but
this is exactly the business carry. There is there is a
section. We have a saying in the Netherlands. But you say things
self made you cop to the health. It rhymes. And it means whatever
you say if someone else is really what you are. And that's
it. And you'll find this true in many, many cases in the
workplace and family relations. When someone says you know,
you're an egomaniac the person saying it is probably an
egomaniac. Would you say this is kind of a thing that happens a
recurring theme. There's a lot of that Sure. So you get these
guys like Carrie and and just McCain and I can't He would
fault the president. The president is not a part of this
pitch. He's doing brackets.
Yeah, he's doing I swear to god here he does brackets. This is
all
going on. And here's our president everybody and finally,
the bracket technologist in chief.
President Obama as he does every March making his predictions as
to the madness with
ESPN the guy can't even listen to it then oh, I'm gonna win the
billion born buffets billion dollar challenge. What is this
guy doing the Obama but so we have an Obama bought dinner on
Friday John the new Obama bought dinner.
Oh, this is good is winding down. I think
it is because two of the bots are leaving for California. They
can't take it.
Very comfortable around here. And
and so it's at the professor's house. And I get an email. And
the email is the subject isn't usually it's Obama bought dinner
because they are cool that way. They know they're Obama bots.
And they know I talk about him on the show. And despite how
harsh I was on the last time, they're all excited. I know
right?
And you talk about the missing aeroplane. Oh, yeah. But no,
but the title of the email the subject was heal bots. It took
me 10 minutes to what he taught he'll bots kill bots. Like
they're not on a hill. What are you talking about? Oh, he'll
bots Hillary. Oh, Hill bots. Yes. Whoa, kill bots. So
he'll bots. So they're already one year into the reelection?
They're already? Well, damn, that's no good, Hillary. Yeah,
she'll do it, Hillary. And of course, then, of course, they
they're gonna be so disappointed because I too want, right, I
pray to God that I want Hillary to become president.
It's a boon for the show. Oh, hell yeah.
At least four years of show. At least, at least at least at
least. So that should be and they're going to be very
disappointed because of course, I'm just going to say I can
argue with I'm not going to argue about the plan. I'm just
going to say there's no evidence that crashed. I think everyone
is dead. And the reason why is because they wanted either the
what's in the plane or the the cargo or the passengers. That's
it. I'll carry out him because you're not see what we're
responsible Americans because we watch. We watch cable news show.
So we're very keeping up with the news. I'm in
love with Rachel Maddow. I would marry her if I could. Yeah,
yeah. They watch the news, PBS news hour. NPR. Oh, I can't even
listen to NPR. Well, we all know that Vladimir Putin, his former
KGB and he really wants to restore the KGB. He invented the
word KGB. And he wants to restore Russia to its great
proportion when he wants to rebuild the Soviet Yes,
yes, that's all he wants.
So here's Kearney trying to explain why Putin is not on the
list of people that are being sanctioned. You're not taking
sanctions against Putin off?
I think I said that already. I'm not, I'm not putting on or off
any individual, you can see the scope provided by the executive
orders that have been signed, the and how individuals can fall
into the categories outlined in those executive orders. But
beyond saying that we are assessing regularly, additional
steps we could take and sanctions we could impose. I'm
not going to label individuals or predict who might be next if
if anyone is
taking these actions and saying that they are targeted those
responsible for what's your watches activity in Crimea, the
White House is not suggesting that Vladimir Putin is not
responsible for what Russia has
done there. Certainly were not that with the authorities
or why not sanction him.
I'm just John, I feel like this is Groundhog Day from a briefing
I had last week
no effect is today. And Putin is not on the list. So I'm asking I
would
suggest that we have identified individuals today. We have the
authorities to more broadly identify individuals and
entities entities in the future. And we will do that as
he came. He answered the question well, which is why
isn't Putin on the list is simple? Well,
he's lying. Because even you're either on the list. Jay, you
both of us are on the list.
Because I read it we on
a on the we are mentioned in the executive order as eligible for
seizure of property. Yes. Well, let me read it because of
course, whoever I'm now I'm interested whoever that reporter
was, and we'll talk about that in a moment. is clearly did not
read the executive order, which you know, if you you can read
the Federal Register and it has this stuff in there or
whitehouse.gov. Blocking property of certain persons
contributing to the situation in Ukraine. That's me for sure. We
are contributing to the situation. We are not being
helpful.
We are cropping helpful, that's for sure. But I don't know if
that contributes to anything. How
would you like to interpret that John, contributing to the
situation in Ukraine? That is, that can be any person in
America because it in fact, says provisions for seizure of
property extend to any United States person. So if you are,
and this is not for Russians, this is for Americans, if you're
contributing to the situation, Ukraine by doing a podcast where
you call out these Neo cons as a whole bullies, you're
contributing to the problem. And I think,
good curry stuff. Anyway, boss, guess what? He's got nothing.
He's judgement. What do we do now Holy
crap, that this is no good. He's got nothing.
There was a local report from a CBS reporter about these, these
White House briefing sessions. And she went to she went to
Washington. And she gave a little report on the news there
about how it works, because he or she got to sit down with
spoke to Jay Carney. And he showed them how these briefings
work.
Yes, it was a very busy day. We started here shortly after eight
o'clock with a coffee with Press Secretary Jay Carney inside his
office in the West Wing. And this was off the record. So we
were able to ask him all about some of the preparation that he
does on a regular basis for talking to the press. In his
daily press briefings, he showed us a very long list of items
that he has to be well versed on every single day. And then he
also mentioned that a lot of times unless it's something
breaking, the questions that the reporters actually asked were
the correspondents, they are provided to him in advance. So
then he knows what he's going to be answering. And sometimes
those correspondents and reporters also have those
answers printed in front of them, because of course it helps
when they're producing their reports for later on. So that
was very interesting. And then we
there's sitting there doing a little play, is that
the way we should do our Listen, this was an producers that we
had one of the house Parliament guys come on one of the shows
and said the same thing about that prime when the Prime
Minister's that charade that they do when they when they
start screaming at each other in Parliament, and then the camera
and whoever whoever's running the place gets up and says
something, it's all scripted. Yes. And this script
on both ends, all we need now is for corny to actually give them
the questions and the answer.
Well, here's one question. I'm surprised they let this one go
on. But this was like a question about Russian TV. This is, I
just thought this was the most interesting question and non
answer. That was that was at that press conference,
or something on it was on Russian television, state
controlled television main state control channel,
unlike our controlled,
thinking, the same
Dmitry Kiselev, prominent Russian television anchor, posed
in front of a mushroom cloud and warned that Russia is the only
country in the world capable of turning the US into radioactive
dust. I mentioned this because the state controlled Russian
television which as we know, doesn't, you know, generally,
broadcast stuff that is not, you know, signed off by by the
government of Russia. What is your sense when you hear
something like that?
I mean, that people say crazy things on TV all the time. Yeah,
but this is Russian state controlled
TV, they take your point entirely. We're focused on
the actions of the Russian government, we're focused on the
support we're providing to the Ukrainian government, we're
focused on marshalling a strategy with our partners
around the world, especially in Europe, for how to deal with
this challenge posed by Russia. And we are making sure that
Russia is incurring costs for the provocations that it has
engaged in and and the actions that it's taken.
If you'll indulge me, John, I'll go back to episode five, nine or
nine or into your bin of clips for American state run
television, which of course, as we know, is the American
Broadcast Corporation, like Russia Today, American Broadcast
Corporation, run by the Disney Corporation. The whole new staff
is is is married to the administration everyone's
screwing each other sex symbol, doting mom crap one on one that
was set up so perfectly.
Wow. I like it.
That's not what I wanted that I wanted to dramatise the crowd
I'm so sorry. That it will fix it in post effects.
Am I supposed to post
with you had this whole divorce called that clip and I thought
ABC drama was what it would be. You had this whole thing of
there. They got the marching music and Croix that was
great. Yeah. What
was it? What was it? Yeah, it
was on ABC.
What would you call that? Of course, it was on ABC. But would
you call that clickers? Now? I can't find it.
Find it. If I can find my list. Eclipse does show 599. I thought
it was 599. But I guess not eight. I don't let me see. I
have. That's okay. We'll deal with it later.
Anyway, trust me, we do the same thing.
It's exactly the same. The thing that was interesting is the is
the first thing I thought of when I heard this was that the
Russians are obviously got the same kind of media that we have,
essentially state control. Ours is like not state controlled,
per se, but it is, yeah, there's the state control than it is.
And they're brainwashing their public the same way. We're
brainwashing our public this is good. It's how these how
countries begin to hate each other. At all, we're gonna blast
these idiot Americans and Putin straw, these American. Well, so
that's true. We do think we own the place the artists
talk yesterday and an artist talk. You know, people go to
that. First of all, they have no money, no one buys anything.
It's called ask questions and look complicated.
One of these recently at the Richmond art gallery, because
they had some I went in to look at some buddies stuff. And
woman, the artist, who was fairly famous and old, she was
going to be there and give an artist talk. And it was, so I go
there and the places packing up, I couldn't even get in. So I
didn't even go to the artists talk. But it was packed up
mostly, I don't know if this would be the same in your area,
but it was mostly elite, quasi elite older women, middle aged
old women,
no amount of them the age the age range. But I you know, of
course, I was chatting with everybody. And I was like, Oh,
we have Putin. Oh, yes. You Oh, Putin. Oh, of Putin lip. Oh, if
there's gonna be a 2015 because of Putin. Everyone's all because
you're right, they're indoctrinated. Here's that.
Here's an ABC clip that I found just to show you the the America
American indoctrination programme.
X ignore means to stop whatever you are doing and get to the
nearest safe place fast.
That very real threat of nuclear war seems a long time ago. But
watching developments this week. It was hard not to think about
those battle days of the Cold War. How
is this different from a mushroom cloud in the
background? We've got air raid sirens
on the march
to Easter fighter jets. Explosion Vladimir
Putin test firing an intercontinental ballistic
missile. ICBM though unarmed,
so you know, thank you. That is where we invented this. We know
how to we know we look at the movies. We know how to do this.
Yeah, we do a better than anyone to say. It's it's not that an
expert can't come along from someplace else. No, but but to
say based on Bernays
just the gall to say web, Russian state television is
really making their people afraid. Oh, hey, you know,
speaking of afraid, John, whoa, whoa, whoa. Thank you for your
courage. I think we need to say in the morning to you, John C.
Dvorak. We are an hour into the show.
We're into the show. We got to stop. Yes, thanks some
producers. I want to say in the morning to you Adam curry in the
morning all the ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the
air subs in the water and the Dames and the Knights out there.
And to
of course, our artists, thank you very much major kills. Who
we used for episode 600. He, he or she I guess he had a great
piece of art really nice to read the background with all those
memes in there. All the show notes actually show notes to
Section memes for our 600th episode and of course in the
morning, everybody there in the chat room. And thank you for
your kittens encourage. And that's it no agenda stream.com
We could not have any kind of conversation is free and flowing
as this. If it were not for our model, which is that one a value
for value, no commercial messages, no one to have a
meeting with later on. If you don't support us, the show goes
away. If you do support us we continue on our merry way. And
we have a couple people thank you rhymed wants to the same
word. But yeah, it robs us the same word twice and call it a
rhyme.
Oh, that's what this poet would do this guy read earlier. Okay,
we do have a few people to thank want to thank him. We have two
executive producer we didn't have we had a drop off as
expected after our show 600 celebration, but at least we
made it through with a couple of executive producers Philippine
Venky in
I think it's finger. Vink thinker.
Think, think Philippine, the Finca In
whose horse pills Horst
Holland for seven $471.10 is an unusual number dudes she says
dudes please accept my donation return I would like to receive a

hold on a second oh stop let me do this. Let me get this out of
the way first. Okay, we can continue okay

Philippine?
You've got karma
All right now let's try to do it right.
What was wrong with that? Okay, here's
the problem. You had the George Clooney you stepped on George
Clooney is a spy,
though he's supposed to flow together. She wants a ringtone.
No, no,
no, you stepped on at the beginning. You were still
clearing your throat when you've hit the George Clooney button.
And so he said it's like George with a guy coughing Oh, like she
needs at least a half a second. Okay. Silence. Oh, now the
second one is the second one is when she says shouting out my
name. Philippine think Ah. You are so under under the DBS on
that one. I could barely hear you.
Okay, well, thank you for come. Can you can you do a little more

Jewels clue
George Jones is a spy. Philippine think

like I like it for 7110. Okay,
I plan on becoming a knight being a lady. I prefer real
knighthood instead of a lame Dame hood. What does that mean?
I don't know. She just I put the word lame. And by the way, she
said she sends me a lot of info. She's a real producer. She sends
lots of links and all kinds of stuff.
She says is way more posh to tell people you have been geared
dared
could read it. Credit. surrendered, surrendered? Oh, I
see what she wants. Okay, so you can actually be knighted? Or
that what they say as you get a ribbon and Holland like kind of
like an OBE in the UK. So she wants to wait until I'm an
honorary console and then
I can Oh, have you give her that?
Which I guess she'll be deserving of.
Anyway, she says in the morning to everybody in the morning.
David Varney $366.66, from Apollo, Pennsylvania. And he
just sent a note in saying he's getting to knighthood, no
register. So double check. Let me see if you made it. So he's
got 100 200 as 3345 He actually I didn't send this on to Eric.
He has a night of night and 90. I apologise. I couldn't get to
this prior to show 600. But I hope you forgive the small
oversight. Thanks, you. Yes, he has to be knighted. Otherwise,
it'd be it'd be our fault. Yes. Sorry about that. Eric.
That's all right. Because I also remember to write down Elliot
Gardner, which you also forgot.
When I'm sorry. Anyway. 100 200. Yeah, he's got the numbers. So
yeah, I think he's short a penny.
Oh, it's okay. I'll kick that one in for him. No problem. All
right.
And he'll also be the executive producer for show 601 And then
John do maggio in methylene, Massachusetts. $3.33,
Matthew, Matthew and McLuhan Mattoon.
I am new John and Adam for your courage. Thanks. I have been a
listener for just a short time but you have surely opened my
eyes wide to the mainstream media mind control. I've been
long suspicious of big business and media and the government and
until now, within an AES assistance I can I really
appreciate what they're trying to do to keep us in line. But
one of my biggest pet peeves has long been manufacturers practice
of freshness born on an expiration date. And yes, I do
agree that products expire. But come on, folks. This practice
has turned in to aggressive marketing. Companies are
convincing the slaves out there that they throw away a perfectly
good product so that they can run to the store and spend more
of their hard earned money on a new fresher product and
I am Can I take some blame for this? Okay, it's your fault. The
bornon is my fault. Yes. Do you want to know why? I came up with
that?
Oh, the Bourne on for the Budweiser beer? Yes. The Coke
came up with it. Yes. You're the Born on guy. Yes.
I'll tell you bowling. Would you like to hear the story briefly?
Yes, give it to us. We company was on ramp before it became
think new ideas. And Anheuser Busch was our first client and
we built budweiser.com and Bud light.com. And we built the
website because it had lots of content with Clydesdales and
brew meisters and all this crap, whatever, and bracing and music.
You have a date? It was like the late 90s. I bet. No, 9494 95
very early on. So I don't know, maybe even 95 I would say. And
at the time, every Budweiser cannon beer had a barcode on it.
And while we were in St. Louis, at the, you know, the original
brewery there, they they showed us how you could calculate that
barcode number down to the quarter hour when that beer came
off of the assembly line. So we created a widget, a widget on
the website, where you entered that number, and then you could
see when your beer was born, and it was the Born on date of your
beer. And they liked it so much. They started putting it on their
product. So I'm sorry.
I think they've started to stop.
Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, that was so successful for them.
Of course I didn't get paid any extra for it. But that was that

that happened.

details how researchers and other influential people in the
scientific community are on the payroll of big business to
promote their agenda Geez. And slant studies of health

show six oh, wired producers, I'm sorry. The producers for
show 6012 executives and one two Who's free for associates?
I thank you all very much. It's so highly appreciated. These are
real credits. And in fact, if you go to IMDb and search
around, you'll see lots of people have their no agenda
executive producer and Associate Executive producer credits
listed in their IMDb, it apparently helps you get work.
But also you can use it anywhere else score credits are accepted,
and you can just display them proudly. And people go hey, what
do we have? Yeah, man by my producer, executive producer
shows
up on that blog, people use it on their signature on their
email. And again, LinkedIn.
And we appreciate the support, it keeps us going. And of
course, we'll have another show on Sunday. And we will have a
general Thank you segment for all of our producers coming up
in just a little bit here on the show. And of course, as always,
you can go to our website for that.org/and A also can
continuously need some propagation of our formula.
Our formula is this, we go out, we hit people in the mouth
one of the things that we have been tracking for a while now
several years is the six week cycle. And, of course, the six
week cycle. It could go away at any time I think even put that
in the book. But it did show up again almost to the day, maybe
one or two days.
I should mention I'm looking at the cycle as centering on the
first of the month or the 15th of the month and this right and
so what you end the debt makes it easier for the bookkeepers
and the and the budget
and an explanation again, because people go a little crazy
on the tweeters. The six week cycle is not just some event
that happens on the date by Oh someone died. No. It is very
specific. The FBI, it is it is also specific to the Federal
Bureau of Investigations. They need to announce every six weeks
some kind of thwarting of a terror attack. And it's
typically done with a a patsy, they've been going and honey
potting for months, so that they can continue to justify their
budget. So it's not always this huge. Last one was the Wichita,
Kansas, a guy who's going to the airport blow and blow up the
airport. Right? And then they didn't even have the code to get
onto the tarmac. And then this kid
guy was set up he was brought in, you know, it was so obvious.
I have
a I have a little rundown clip. Well, I have a rundown too
and mine is probably pretty complete because it's done by a
freelancer. Okay, well, I can't find any record of
what is the rundown?
Okay, six weeks ago if you think
that looks good, looks good. It's longer than mine. So it
must be great.
It's it's pretty concise. ABC Seven News. Oh,
it's It's America today. ABC.
It's ABC.
state television. homegrown terrorists
in Northern California man is now under arrest accused of
plotting to blow up targets in Los Angeles and tonight we are
learning more about the 20 year old student obsessed with al
Qaeda.
Dan Ashley and I'm Carolyn Johnson. ABC
SEVEN NEWS REPORTER Cornell Bernard is live at San Joaquin
Delta College in Stockton tonight with more forest Cornell
we oh that's not fair. You put 30 minutes of intro in there.
That's not really fair.
I wanted I was gonna take it out straight to Cornell, but I
wanted to make sure that you realise it was an ABC. Okay. You
gotta get
on the campus of San Joaquin Delta College tonight where
Nikolas Tucson attended classes fellow classmates he
didn't use his three names. Come on. This is
both shocked that he was arrested near the Canadian
border this morning on terror charges trying to get to the
Middle East. I'll go active duty after this semester ends. That's
20 year old Nicholas Tucson. Last week he was interviewed
about someone wearing a fake military uniform on the campus
of Delta College in Stockton this week. He's in federal
custody accused of supporting terrorism is a wonderful
and most great explainer.
videos posted by Nicholas Tucson on the internet paint a picture
of a young man fascinated with al Qaeda. several videos on his
YouTube page depict terrorist attacks against the US. Tucson
appeared in federal court Monday. He's accused of
exploring ways of supporting violent extremist activities and
attempting to join al Qaeda. Court documents say Tucson
popped up on the FBIs radar last summer after he posted several
terrorist messages on social media, including a plot to bomb
the LA subway system. undercover agents posing as extremists are
two sides crossed.
How do you pose as an extremist? Is it a hat you wear? Or hey,
look at me. You may be confusing me for extremists he
told what I want my face on the FBI is top 12 Most Wanted
because that means I'm doing something right. Dusan told
informants, he was trying to get to Syria to fight alongside al
Qaeda.
It was shocking that someone stood here delta would be known
as probably a terrorist.
Son's classmates say he was quiet and like to play chess,
you are
a newly converted Muslim. But never really. He never really
pushed it on to anybody. He never said anything chooses
normal
two sides and had load I've said this, all I know is that he
moved back to California he's been living with his mom to join
the
California National Guard in 2012, but never made it to
bootcamp after failing to meet education requirements. All
right.
I'm sorry, idiot he was an obvious idiot This is
educational requirements. That guy could barely speak and walk
I have to play my clip because they use you always have to have
the three names you got to use the middle name. I'm think Mike
clip has a better YouTube video of him doing some some talking
some Arabic crap, and it's shorter, and it's shorter jocks.
I mean, I totally forgot about him up until
today. Friends have accused terrorists suspect Nicolas
Michael Tucson.
There you go. Nicholas. Michael Tucson. Dad. Now you're talking
it's surprising that the 20 year old wash out from the US Army
National Guard was in court today. federal charges the feds
say to assault and bragged on social media and to informants
about plans to join al Qaeda in Syria. So they had the community
college student pulled off an Amtrak bus at the US Canadian
border last night. He's also accused of targeting the Los
Angeles public transportation system, Aleikum slum to all my
brothers and sisters that's a YouTube video posted last year.
Complaint states are two sides goal was maximum fear and the
maximum blow to the US government so he could watch it
tumble and fall in the wake of a civil war now
that's that's a report John Oh, maximum fear. When Civil War
watch it tumble and fall like a bar my brothers and sisters
agents alleged last December to SOT also warn the informants
don't go to LA anytime soon. If you go don't use the subway, the
LAPD wouldn't discuss this specific case. But say there's a
lesson for everyone. If someone behaves this way,
if you see something we want you to say something. If something
looks a little unusual, and you see some suspicious behaviour,
please do give us a call Come on,
okay, okay, you when you got the better of the two clips, not
because it was he had all the good details like he plays
chess, well, because it has all the good memes, it had the three
names, it had to see something, say something. And then it had
the downfall of the government Volker, this guy, this guy can't
even tie his shoes and and it had washed out was also a good
little jab.
And then had a very nice tie in that I'm now trying to download
really quickly because it had a musical tie in. I don't know if
you caught it. Oh,
I did not catch a musical tie. And is there a new? Yeah, well,
I'm hitting the market.
Well, you know, and in fact, only you and I would probably
catch this one almost almost done downloading. I mean, I had
to go purchase it real quick.
And actually spending money while doing the show. Yes. On
the show itself. Yeah. What's what's? Yeah. Dedicated ladies
and gentlemen. I'm spending
a whole actually this was expensive. This is. This is
$1.29. But it's it's i It's okay, here it is. Come on load.
I can get an e book for 30 cents less. Yeah, but
oh man. What
is going on? It doesn't work. Yeah, it does.
I just I just just here it is everybody. From our new Patsy
for the six week cycle you want on your own? You get it yet?
When you dawns on
John, you know the song? I do, but I'm not seeing that. And I'm
trying to catch the tie in.
Well, what's the name of the song? I don't know. Wait for the
hook. What do you care for? Everybody? Come on now. I got
fast forward. Here we go.
A long, long way to go. I'm sorry. Yeah. I'm sweating. I'm
sweating. Also just released in time for the six week cycle.
Issue 12 of Inspire magazine.
Oh, it came out right on the spot. Yep. I have not been able
to see the CIA and the FBI working together. It's pushing
it aside the NSA nice to have the guys in
one camp for a change, doesn't it? Yeah, no, it feels good.
Speaking of which, I think we should we could move on to the
snow job report. Oh, I watched a riveting. Of course, it was hard
to find it. Although Luckily, the Privacy and Civil Liberties
Oversight Board tweeted, we're gonna be on C span two. And let
me tell you, if you see this video, and this is the
Presidential approved and nominated board. Oh, wait,
before you go there. I just want to mention that people that the
next cycle is on May Day, May 1, May Day May 1, thank you.
This board was initiated and nominated by the President. And
if we've done the timeline, the director Modine could not get
confirmed for 500 days. And then he gets confirmed just two days
before the Snowden revelations. It's amazing how this timing
works. Fascinating. Even he thought it was fascinating. So
the board convenes and they've gotten it's all lawyers, the
whole its lawyers, wall to wall, wall to wall, which is
disconcerting, because, you know, we've got, who do we have
on here we have on them. I wrote down some of the names. We've
got David Medina, he's the he's a lawyer. Of course, he is the
chairman of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board.
Brad Wiegmann, who was the Deputy Attorney General for the
National Security Division, we and then we have Rajesh de de
Rajesh de who is the General Counsel, the lawyer for the
National Security Agency. And then we also have an interesting
guy who you'll hear in one of these clips, I have James X,
Dempsey, James X Dempsey, I kind of like that have an x as a
middle name, and James X. Dempsey is from the Centre for
Democracy and Technology, and he is also on your Privacy and
Civil Liberties Oversight Board. And what I like to play here is
the first clip where in James Medina said to the Brad
Wiedemann, the deputy, could you please give me a an overview of
the definitions used in all these conversations? I thought
that will be very handy for us to have. Because what really is
a locator? You know, what a locator is John,
someone who finds cool places to shoot movies.
That's a scout. Okay. And I think it's good, because I
learned a lot of things just from hearing these definitions.
And it really will help you when you may be if in the off chance,
you see some news about I don't know, the everyone in the world
being spied on, it's good to know, because you can, you know,
you'll know what's actually being said, I'd like to
get back to some of the definitions here. Which is there
some terms here be helpful to understand your view of which is
what it means to Tarik, what is the target? What is a tasking?
What is a selector? And what's a directive?
I'm sorry, selector, not a locator a selector,
if you could explain those terms. And then because I didn't
want to shift how those terms might apply in the about
context. Okay,
I can take a stab at that.
Definitely sounds like I can take a stab at that I'm a
lawyer.
So our target is the maybe I should start with selector.
Since that's the, the, the operative term Never mind, lung,
that selector would typically be an email account, or a phone
number that you are targeting. So this is the you get no
terrorist@google.com
Write this down John. selector would be terrorist@google.com.
Okay, got it, you know, whatever,
whatever.
The address that you have information about that if you
have reasonable to believe that that person is a terrorist, and
you would like to collect foreign intelligence
information, reasonable to
believe, yes,
reasonable to very reasonable to reasonable belief
on that person's account. So when you go up on that selector,
when we say go up on or target that selector, that means we're
collecting information, we're going to the provider, and
getting information from it related to that person's
accounts that we're intercepting in real time, and then
collecting the store community in real time applications of
that particular account. Okay, so that's what we mean by
targeting a selector. You're using that selector, you're
providing that to the to the company, that provider to get
information on that account, or if it's a phone number on that
phone number. So that's when we say selector. It's really it's
an arcane term that people wouldn't understand what's
really phone numbers, email addresses, things like that.
So it's phone numbers, email addresses, things like that.
Those are selectors that are being targeted in real time in
and this is not he's not going to mention this In the upstream
collection, which was on screen, which is quote the collection of
metadata and contents directly from internet and phone cables,
that would be your, your second street to room where they're
literally tapping stuff off of the fibre
and targeting it means that's the one you're trying to get.
They may be in communication with other email addresses or
other phone numbers and so forth. Those are not the
targeted numbers or accounts, those are others that are
incidentally acquired because they're on the other end of
these communications. So that's what target is the one you're
going after. And the statute requires that that target be a
non US person located overseas. And so that's that's the foreign
determinations that we're talking about as we go through
to great lengths to make sure that that target is, in fact
belongs to a non US person and is located overseas. The other
two questions, tasking or task tasking is when you're going and
saying, Okay, I want to task this account means I want to
collect information from that account. So that's the
collection, select the task a selector, so you're identifying
that's when you take that selector to the company and say,
this one's been approved, we concluded that it is does belong
to a non US person overseas, a terrorist or proliferate or
cyber person, or whoever it is cyber person. And then we go to
the company and get the information and directive. So
drip directives are the
backing up a little because there's a word to use in there,
I wanted to write it down. Or the solicitation or something
like that Felicity taters, solicitor, facilitator going
and saying, Okay, I want to task this account means I want to
collect information from that account. So that's the
collection, select the task, a selector, so you're identifying
that's when you take that selector to the company and say,
this one's been approved, we concluded that it is does belong
to a non US person overseas, a terrorist or proliferate or
cyber person, or whoever it is, and, and then we go to the
company and get the information and directive. So directives are
the orders that go to the companies that say they have to
comply with lawful tasks. And so that's the kind of more
overarching order that goes to a company provider and says, Okay,
you have a legal obligation to comply with taskings that are
given to you. And here are the rules and everything. And that's
all provided to them. So we
learned a lot of interesting terms here. But there's
something that odd by
the way, the word I was looking for was proliferator or how's
that?
Well, it's like a cyber person.
Okay.
Here's something that we did not know. Obviously, the Privacy and
Civil Liberties Oversight Board is working for us. That's why
they and you should see this shit. They're not unlike some
cool room with guards and wooden panels and a Deus. They're like,
they're like in a Marriott that I'm not kidding, with a with a
skirt over the tables. And they don't have mics that can turn on
or off their old aka AKG like the beginning of like, the vocal
mics. And that's why here. Everyone's moving the mics
around. They have, you know, bowls of candy, you know, like
little peppermints that the Marriott provides. It's
pathetic.
It is pathetic. And by the way, there's a lot of people do
conventions and stuff at these Marriott's and these sorts of
places, I know exactly what to do. I've been in that kind of
room way too much. And it's horrible. And then you go into
the lobby and then they have some some food
and everyone talks to you and out of their mouth comes this
vile coffee smell that it is made up
of cheap coffee and advice and birthchart cheap crap that you
can eat if you can't dare to and they always have the worst
croissants,
croissants and the bagels are like dough balls of God knows
horrible. It's not actual food. Yes. With with the cream cheese
in a in a little plastic containers. Yeah, horrible.
Alright. But here's what we learned David Medina, who was
working for us, and I appreciate what this guy's doing. He's
going to ask a very important question about the selectors,
which as you'll recall, is can be an email address, like
terrorist@google.com, which, you know, could be an obvious one to
check out. It could be a phone number, but it's not just the
phone number or the email address, or the selector is the
statutory rationale for about collections. Because if the
target is the email account, or the phone number, what is the
justification for gathering communications between two
persons? May it be to US persons who are discussing at phone
number or that email address, but they are not themselves?
There's no two are from that particular email address or
particular phone number. Why is that targeting? That is
permissible under the statute.
So did you catch what he just said?
No, that plain it is.
So let's say you have an email address, which is
terrorist@google.com. And of course that has been targeted
and they've given a directive and they're tasking that so they
get the tracking that in real time, however, that must be a
non US person. However, if there are two so if you and I, in our
email come versation between adam@curry.com and John at the
vortech.org mention terrorists@google.com They can
net now that tap into our email accounts if they could get into
it. And it's valid to now eavesdrop on our conversation
because we mentioned the selector.
So the conclusionary. And in a typical case, you're right, if
you're targeting, you know, bad guy@google.com we
write this down bad New
guy, bad guy, bad guy or bad guy knows about terrorists, bad
guy@google.com
Your turn targeting that person's account, their
communications, why bounce collection is different is it's
not necessarily communication. This
is called a bounce collection, John abouts collection, which I
got the what a lawyer term that is about
that person's account, their communications, why bounce
collection is different is it's not necessarily communications
to or from that bad guy, but instead about that selector. And
so what the court has concluded is that when that statute uses
the term targeting a non US person overseas, targeting that
selector, qualifies under the statute for targeting that non
US person overseas. So it doesn't have to be targeting
necessarily, to or from but can also target the communications
that are about a particular selector.
So that's a different meaning of target than earlier, which is
where you're focusing on an account. Now you're discussing
targeted means discussions about that account
about that selector. Correct. It is
always focused on that account. So I think the key is the
misperception that suddenly have that abouts collection is
somehow about a keyword or about the person that may be behind
that account. But all collection under Section 702 Whether it's
upstream, abouts, which is a subset of upstream, or prison is
all based on the selectors at
issue. So literally, if I were to email you, which I'm sure at
some point I've done and I put in that email, Anwar al aulaqi
More some other douche knockaloe was on the top 10 list. Now, if
I mentioned his email address, I'm sorry. So on were
lucky@terrorists.org, or bad guy@google.com. Now, both of our
email accounts can legally be targeted for them to listen to
upstream, which means in real time, so they don't even need to
break into my email server. They can just tap in real real time.
This is bullshit.
Yeah, and here's one of the reasons it is bullshit. I want
to target you.
Send me an email sent me an email exactly send you an email
about
bad bad guy. google.com. Hey, Adam, what do you think about
bad guy? google.com? Yeah, now you're far I don't even have to
answer. Right? And I don't even have to be somebody you know, I
could be an NSA guy. What are we gonna do bill to get around
these rules? Hey, I got a great idea. Why don't we just email
everybody?
Here's our final clip. And this was in one minute and 18
seconds, you will hear the unfiltered. Exactly what was
said in this hearing, which the Guardian and The Washington
Post. And everyone wrote 100 1000s of words. Boy, great
journalism, you're producing great journalism people.
Trying to clear up another issue in terms of the participation of
service providers who have the awareness of service providers
702 implementation is 702 implemented all 702. Now just
to clarify, when they talk about service providers in this
context, this is very difficult for people who who've been on
the internet for a while. That is not your ISP that is not like
Comcast or Time Warner. That is someone who provides an internet
service that can be your website, Yahoo, Google, Apple,
exactly the exact sky ask
your question. I just came up with Visscher. So okay, well,
I'm going back to this abouts collection. So and I hate this.
I said so twice. That's okay.
Hey, you said about stop. We might. You might as well say
Anyways, if we're talking about about anyways, let's talk about
about a boot about
now. The if if you send me an email about bad guy@google.com
And whether you know me or not, let's say you do that. And
they're not monitoring my email, supposedly, how do they know
this? Of course they know this. How do they know this? Let's
start monitoring my email already. Because they are
they are listening upstream all the time, the metadata, upstream
metadata
content, it's not metadata. This is raw content. Yeah, we'll
surprise that. is nicer than lying to us?
Hello. And the ones who are really lying to us are this
service providers,
service providers who have the awareness of service providers
702 implementation is 702 implemented all 702
implementation is done with the full knowledge and assistance of
any company that from which information is obtained. Is that
correct? Yes,
yes. So early on in the did you hear that little that little
thing before he answered? You got the the the lawyers talking
to the lawyer going to go ahead and just say just fine and say,
go ahead, bust them, you fucking silica just say it Yes. Or no.
They know they're lying to everybody. They're pretending
like they don't just go ahead and
say it man permission is obtained. Is that correct?
Yes, the answer is, yes.
Early on in the debate, there were some statements by
companies who may or may not have been involved in the
programme, saying, well, we never heard of prism. But
whether they ever heard of prism, any company that was from
whom information was being obtained under 702 knew that it
was being obtained.
Correct. Prison was just an internal government term that as
a result of the leaks became a public term, but collection
under this programme is done pursuant to compulsory legal
process that any recipient company would have received.
So they know that they are that their data is being obtained
because they would receive
who's asking this question?
James X. Dempsey, who was on the PII the Privacy and Civil
Liberties Oversight Board,
I'm liking this guy.
I told you, I like the guy. And his middle name was cool. James
X, Dempsey, Xavier. So what he's saying is, wait a minute, these
Silicon Valley companies all went like, we don't know
anything about this. They all knew
I protest to you, Mr. Obama, I'm calling
I'm calling a president like this, you lying sacks of poop.
It's real, it's and a reminder that these companies cannot
encrypt all of your data. Because then their business
model falls apart. This is the catch 22 If they were to really
encrypt all of your email so that the upstream collection
would falter, they could also not put in advertising because
they wouldn't know what you're talking about, which is that one
of the main business principles of Gmail, SEO would not work on
Google if if you're if you have end to end encryption of your
searches. So it's never going to happen. And this is the big
secret of Silicon Valley. And they are in bed they that NSA
equals Google. Facebook equals FBI and there's some CIA in
there because they financed them early on and this is what are we
seeing I'll play I will plug in my television right now I'm
gonna plug it in here we go plugging it in
minded everyone that there is no proof yet there is no
identification. And so if we're hanging that CNN should be
switched to Fox for a second he don't know yet. Well.
That was all of your life. Okay, commercial commercial. Mostly
just as good but there it is.
Identify
some satellite spots debris in flight 370 Search come
on five found a napkin in the ocean.
I was just hoping that far and it's funny because usually Fox
and CNN are in sync on the commercials.
That is what I noticed recently they got different clocks. Oh
really? They Zoli recently different
format. Oh, here we got we're back
story just how many hours are left in the Malaysia Airlines?
These black
random sampling ladies and gentlemen. And
that was very good. This is like live TV.
Only we're not as hot as these chicks I'm seeing which is kind
of ad that's
more money than we do and free dinners. Hey.
So there you go. That is that so they knew about it? They're
lying about it. They will not change it because it ruins their
entire model they are afraid that somehow someone that of
course it's really not going to matter because people are so
dumb. So dumbed down I should say it that they don't know
there's like a this this is this like water. I have my
electricity I have my Google's you know, got my Gmail. It's
free. It's the way it is. Isn't the government provide that? If
people said the government provides your email, they go
okay, that's good.
It'd be this way it is today. So okay, well, that makes sense.
Nobody cares.
No, they absolutely do not give a rat's ass and I do So I've
been working with the void zero sir 19 inch rack, we've been
working on encrypting all of the no agenda, everything's now with
the DNS sec, by the way, so that, you know, we will be
secure. And we cannot be hijacked, and someone can't
just, you know, just all of a sudden take over our website,
which should take over the website and whatever. Now, this
does
bring me to another topic, which I did want to discuss briefly.
This is I can because I was severely severely disappointed.
Well, no, let me take that back. I was very happy to see that I
want our bet. From last week, let bet you went on the twit
show.
And there was no money involved. You still owe me $1 From a
couple of shows ago.
And the bet was that Leo would be all in on the United Nations
running it
shut down the show. To bet because when you did that, if
you don't recall that right. Yes. Yeah, yeah, no, no. He
says, what what? How did you last? How did you lose the bed?
Because you're
so predictable. Leo.
I didn't say that. But I said was what you said, which is
you'd be all for it. Right? So Leo is basically an
internationalist. He's all he's all in on that. I would
like to explain because this is what was disappointing. No one
had taken two seconds of time to investigate what really the deal
is with ICANN. They just read some something from the verge. I
read it in the verge this must be that this is must be Howard's
going down. This is tech news we buy I hate to the harsh on it,
but there were a couple other people on that show and no one
did any work. First, let's explain the difference between
IP ranges and domain names I can does not hand out IP addresses.
Okay. There are three different organisations in the world in
Europe, for instance, is right, they hand out the blocks of IP
addresses. ICANN is not in charge of that. They do not hand
out block ranges. They only do the DNS resolution and work on
domain name disputes. I happen to know a little bit about this.
Their charter and their mission since 1997, President Clinton
made it very clear that the ultimate goal he directed the
Secretary of Commerce, Commerce to eventually privatise entirely
the domain name system in a manner that increases
competition and facilitates international participation in
its management. And specifically, it was not to be
transferred to a governmental or inter governmental body. Now,
this is what's interesting, because this obfuscates the or
eliminates the immediate transfer to a body like the
United Nations. So they had a green paper that came out and it
was supposed to happen around 2000. But of course, it took
much longer. And this I can operation which really only they
took these big guy was a John pastel, the guy who used to like
he had a, like a spreadsheet, I think and he had all the domain
names and the rows and the IP addresses that resolve to it.
It's basically just a big database that maintains that
which is an illusion that this is the internet. We talked about
that the other day, you can go to the open Nick project, there
are many other ways to get your point. Shut up, man, don't be
like that you have been beating around the bush is the problem.
I have to remind people, not some people come in for the
first time. It's because you're impatient. I am. So there's a
transition plan for ICANN, which has been on the bump and all
these documents are the Clinton transition plans all PDFs are in
the show notes. Here's a an FAQ that I need to read so you
understand where this is really going and what is going to
happen. And again, this is what people believe the internet is
it's not it is not the network itself is the layer of domain
name services on top, which is replaceable. Why is the United
States initiating this transition? Now? Answer I can is
an organisation that has made matured and taking steps in
recent years to improve its accountability and transparency
and its technical competence. At the same time, international
support continues to grow for the multi stakeholder model of
internet governance as evidenced by the continued success of the
Internet Governance Forum and the resilient stewardship of
various internet institutions. Important question are the
legacy top level domains associated with the US
government eg.mil.gov and.edu part of this transition? No, no
no no operational responsibility for the three remaining legacy
top level domains associated with US government are not
impacted by this transition. What will the role of
governments in the developed in developing the Trent what will
be the role of Governor Are you reading this facts from from the
I can transition to plan is it from it's an I Can Yes, I
can.org Yes. Okay, go PDF. What will be the role of governments
in developing the transition proposal? Like the other
stakeholders that are part of ICANN multi stakeholder model,
we expect governments will have an opportunity to provide input
either via I cans Governmental Advisory Committee, or as
individual governments. NTIA will not accept the proposal
that replaces the role with a government or intergovernmental
organisations solution. And here's the very interesting one
will the result of this process effect very signs agreement to
operate the.com registry? No. That is a separate agreement
between VeriSign and ICANN for VeriSign, the only potential
change will be the maintenance and publication of the root
zone. So those guys stay in the game. And then that's a big
moneymaker for everybody who's involved. And if you want to get
a top level this this whole thing is a commercial bullcrap
operation for money that could have been managed much easier.
However, you heard the word Internet governance and internet
governments Governance Forum. This is the problem. What is the
Internet Governance Forum it serves to bring people together
from various stakeholder groups as equals but not to make
decisions or negotiate. Instead, they discuss exchange
information and share good practices with each other. While
the IGF may not have decision making abilities, it informs and
inspires those who do un connection or again, this is
from their own documentation. And this is where this is where
you see where this is going. More than 60 years ago, the
General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. Negotiators then could not
possibly have imagined that a quarter of a century later there
would be a new invention, the internet, and yet it seems they
had the internet in mind when they drafted article 19 writing
down kids, here's where they would here's where the
government and the the New World Order takes over your internet.
Quote. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and
expression. Semicolon. This right includes freedom to hold
opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart
information and ideas through any media and regardless of
frontiers. This article encapsulates the very essence of
the internet and its borderless nature, the internet is seen as
providing a crucial international platform. So this
Internet Governance Forum and then the I think the other one
is the G A F is staffed by as the panel on global Internet
Corporation is staffed by any guesses?
douchebags,
people from Google people from Yahoo people from Apple people
from Microsoft. Why do you think Google is providing free DNS to
everybody? This is much worse, much much worse than a direct
government takeover. The internet is going to be run by
people like Google. This is why Vint Cerf is in here. And they
are going to going to determine what internet freedom is, what
Internet governance is, what the rules of the road are going to
be. There's a document here 128 pages, written by Vint Cerf
about internet governance in its art shared responsibility. This
is very, very bad people. It is the internet as most people know
it is going to go away. This is what I said. But I'm just giving
the backup and the proof.
Yeah, well, you did better than I did. I just saw it come in.
It's like a fastball. I didn't really bother to look at how
many seams were on it.
You just go shit going away. Crap. It's, it's done. And but
ya know,
and I just saw Eric Schmidt. They were playing his little
talk with his buddies Cohen guy, this State Department guy, which
is like the two of them apparently travelled all over
together. And it's like a, it's like Clooney and his buddy. And
they're flying around. And they were being interviewed at the
Computer History Museum by Sheryl Sandberg. After 15
minutes of seeing you for a week. kissy kissy. So after that
they started and poor Eric had because he's just who he is now.
And he's now he just looked like a guy who has was just in a
different world.
I think he dresses up in leather and has that orange ball in his
mouth on weekends. Always, I just wanted to read from a piece
of this 120 page document written by Vint Cerf who is
works for Google. Of course, he's very important scientist
and he created some very important protocols, but screw
that if he works for Google. This is the from the Tunis
Agenda for the information society. This little intro and
it's written like a un document. I'll just do it here. Example
introduction one we will recognised which is bolded that
it is now time to move from principles to action,
considering the work already being done in implementing the
Geneva plan of action, and identifying those areas where
progress has been made is being made or has not taken place. We
reaffirm the commitments made in Geneva and build on them and
Tunis by focusing on financial mechanisms for bridging the
digital divide on internet governance and related issues as
well as on implementation and follow up of the Geneva and
Tunis decisions. Internet governance, My God is a Spirit
makes me I literally I throw up in my mouth. Number 31. We
recognise that Internet governance carried out according
to the Geneva principles is an essential element for a people
centred inclusive development oriented and non discriminatory
information society. Fuck me with a chainsaw Vint Cerf
Furthermore, we commit ourselves to the stability and security of
the internet as a global facility and to ensuring the
requisite legitimacy of its governance based on the full
participation of all stakeholders from both developed
and developing countries within the respective roles and
responsibilities. And we thank the UN Secretary General, for
establishing the Working Group on Internet Governance that WGI
G. We commend the Chairman members and Secretariat for
their work and their report. This thing is all Geneva based.
It's all these assholes from these companies who think
they're like, where's Bill Gates? You might as well be the
oh, we have to make sure that no one says poop. We'll make sure
no one says you're gay. Who don't don't don't don't do but
make sure
the link online no bullying. This is horrible. I get it. You
can play the clip to which clip is that? Adam Curry's pet peeve
of the day, and while it's not of the day is BS. Wow, it's a
good day. Today's day you came up with it anyway. Okay, yeah.
This We're doomed. It's all about free speech. But I just
wanted to point us down the shedding people up. Yes. If
people don't talk, and they don't write things that are like
against the government, then there will be no more wars. Adam
get with the programme, we have to make people shut up. Yeah.
That's exactly right. And I'm sorry, but I have not heard
anyone, or seen anyone point to any of the simply available
documents in technology reporting. Just to say, Hey,
this is the deal. This is what's really happening. Here's the
connections. Here's who's running it. Google's going to
run a big part of this. With Eric Schmidt. I'm sure it'll be
honorary chair knuckle of some of this bullcrap. And the only
thing I'm happy about is that the network is unstoppable. The
DNS and you will have to create sub systems for that. No,
torrents will be important, we can still do that. But just a
website know that unfortunately, see Mr.
Korea by looking at your bill here at Time Warner. Yes, I
noticed that you've been using some illegal DNS systems and not
allowed anymore.
They'll block that off and but you know, you
cannot we give you two more strikes. Or you get no internet.
I mean, there's all kinds of ways your stand. Do you
understand? I understand, sir. I'm sorry, I will comply. Or
I have a transition clip. Yeah.
Well, let me let me just finish this bit off your own,
you will obey you will obey you will obey will obey. So I'm just
I'm spending lots of time on C span this week. So yeah, me too.
So I get this get this one. This is the WTF clip. And I I'm
listening to this clip. So they bring Syria back into the issue
at all. This was completely alien to me. I always I always
thought this already happened. I thought I was watching a rerun
but play this. The
Obama administration has suspended the Syrian Embassy in
Washington and ordered the expulsion of its diplomats and
staff. Secretary of State John Kerry said the Assad regime has
lost the right to claim diplomatic legitimacy.
We just felt the idea that this this embassy is sitting here
with representation that we could take seriously is an
insult. And we close it's that simple. And we'll see what
happens in other places. But the Assad regime can never regain
legitimacy in Syria. Whether they win don't win, they can't
regain legitimacy.
They got they need our help. They got too many messages
messages changed.
What what's in my way This is Democracy Now Nazis, man, I just
want to apologise for that mistake. What? What changed?
Well,
what changed is apparently some guy named Assad move out of
Syria and some guy named asshat moved in. I can't I do hear
asshat all the time.
No, I will. Thanks.
I've programmed you to welcome as that.
Yeah. Listen to it, listen to it again. You're just gonna drive
you crazy now.
The Obama administration has suspended the Syrian Embassy in
Washington and ordered the expulsion of its diplomats and
staff. Secretary of State John Kerry said the Assad regime has
lost the right to claim diplomatic legitimacy.
We just felt the idea that this this embassy is sitting here
with representation that we can take seriously is an insult. And
we closed it. It's that simple. And we'll see what happens in
other places, but the Assad regime can never
Could you sit asshat I put those guys to rambling. Hey, hey,
watch this. I'll say asshat. No, no, no, it'll catch on. It'll be
really funny.
As asshat Assad regime men. Okay, sure. We were talking
about Snowden a minute ago. I've got this Snowden clip. Do you
see the robots? Snowden? No. Okay, so they have the TED
Vancouver. Is it a TEDx? Or is it a TED? Vancouver's got it?
Man. They've got it up there.
This must be a TEDx. No, no, this apparently Vancouver got
the real TED is it a boot stuff like?
Like so Vancouver's got the TED. And so they had Chris Anderson
appears to me came out and he introduced note and because he's
one of the main guest presenters and runs to Ted, right. And so
so a robot comes out with a TV screen as I had. No, and it's
Snowden.
No. Yes. I got to look at this on a second. We played it. No,
you're still setting it up. Okay.
So meanwhile, they take this clip, and I think this may have
been on Democracy Now two, or one of the news shows that I
think is Democracy Now. So you so you have to listen to what
they clip from Snowden and what he said, Because he makes about
Agda. But they only run about six sentences of his nonsense.
It makes it's a non sequitur. It makes absolutely no sense if you
try to listen to the what he says and then try to take some
notes. And tell me what he said because he's just play it
does a TED conference in Vancouver, Canada. Speaking from
Russia through a robot that wheeled out onto the stage,
Snowden urged global citizens to work together against
unwarranted government surveillance.
The last year has been a reminder that democracy may die
behind closed doors, but we as individuals are born behind
those same closed doors. And we don't have to give up our
privacy to have good government. We don't have to give up our
liberty to have security. And I think by working together, we
can have both open government and private lives. And I look
forward to working with everyone around the world to see that
wow. You know what, I think Glenn Greenwald stop writing for
him or something. Because that was
overseas died behind closed doors, but were born behind
those same closed doors. What does that mean?
You can still have privacy and a government.
That's what he said. The whole thing was ludicrous, a
sharp jump of epic proportions and Tim Berners Lee is on stage
listening to this bullcrap. He's Tim Berners Lee must be going am
man this is dumb. When I sign up for this
whole thing was just ludicrous. But the robot that took the cake
and this is yeah, I see. It was not even it's like one of the
I've seen this in on a commercial somewhere it's like
an 18 T commercial where you know
that a robot with arms and legs this is rolling thing Yes,
so there's a kid in the hospital and the kid can't come to class
but this robot wheels through the halls of the of the school
Yeah, really? Yeah, that happened in my school Sure. No,
that's not how that's dumb so stupid. Oh, I'm sorry Snowden
whatever it whatever he is or what it's no I think you're
right I think green jeopardise jeopardise everything. And by
the way is everybody we're all over this. This forget about it.
It's so stupid. Why am I even asking? The internet is dead
man. No, I say definitely the web is dead. Let's put that the
web is captured hijacked. The internet will never go away. The
network itself is indestructible as intended. That's the good
news. That's why I have to write my digital prepper book. So
people Know how to use it and how to reboot things because
what you've got now is not going to cut it. It's all gonna go
away.
It's definitely on its way out. I think we win this, this new
guy that took over icon. This who's a multi CultI guy. I can't
tell where he's from. I think
he's, I think he's Persian.
Whatever he is, he goes on. He's just so good. Slap happy glad
that this is happening. This is great. We're out of a job and
there's going to be international.
He's not out of a job for hard faddish fatty Shahad. Yeah, his
career has been defined by building consensus and promoting
collaborative technologies and practices. He has more than 25
years of experience in building and leading progressive internet
enterprises. Let's see Mikado LLC, a firm that as a provider
of cloud based software for the administration of educational
institutions. Well, there's a guy who set for life. I think
he's, I think he's Iran, Persian Iran.
He was brought in obviously to bust it up a citizen of
Egypt, Lebanon and the United States. I guess he has three
citizenships. Born in Beirut to Egyptian parents left the war
torn country in 1980. He speaks fluent Arabic, English, French
and Italian. Yeah, you're right. He brought in to break it up.
But I think he's he's going to continue to lead this. He's not
going anywhere.
Well, just as he can keep busting it up.
VINT CERF and Eric Schmidt. And all these people are going to
come in all these elites who think they know better and
they'll goonyella Zuckerberg, I can go the President did.
DIX they called the president? A bunch of days. I have him on my
speed dial. Seriously.
It's a bunch of dicks all these people. But I'm sick of them.
I'm literally sick of them. And they've hijacked you know, so
after this art talk yesterday, I'll shut up about it. No, I
liked this discussion. Mickey and I so we got to grab it. It's
like eight o'clock. And I've worked all afternoon. Let's grab
a bite. And then I worked like 130 Because you know, that was
just in the middle. But I got by prep school night, you know,
prep night. And we go to diner 24. here in Austin, which as the
name implies, it's a diner. It's open 24 hours a day. It's great.
It's the best food in Austin if you just want something good
parking, good food. Everything good. Good. Good. And next to
us, is a glass hole. And I have not seen one of these in the
wild. So that is a person wearing Google Glass. Yes. And I
say to Mickey and Duchess say, look, there's one of those guys
and she looks over. He says, does he have a disability or
something? What's the thing on his head? Like, that's exactly
what it looks like. Looks like you got a disability man like
your handicap where that big thing sticking out of the back
of your head is ugly and dumb. And of course, I made the joke
which all the glass holes hate. Okay, Google show porn. And he
was like, Why you wearing that thing? You look like a douche?
It is bad. Oh, it's it's beyond curious. You'll see him a lot.
But you do see him? I've seen him for months. And they really
do look like you just look douchey I don't know what you're
trying to prove. I mean, I'm using it for just know what time
it is or not. I know. It's always showing the time.
Anyway, this is your no agenda show best podcast in the
universe as as evidenced by this jingle, the best. And we are
medicine for your media malaise. I'm gonna show my support by
donating to no
agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah,
that'd be fun.
All right, we have a few donors. That's thanks and contributors
and producers George over Hoffer in Jackson, New Jersey 1111. Can
I just make a little point of order a parliamentary inquiry?
No. Just so people are not confused. Executive producers
and Associate Executive producers, we read your notes
verbatim on the air no matter what's in there. We read
everything and we make we may make a selection out of the over
50 donations. But we really just you know, we just try to move it
along. And thank you for your courage and your kittens and
your puppies and all that. So you know, this is the deal.
Otherwise the show dies. We have no time for
we've already known this because we've had and here's what
happened and I've told us that somebody said I don't understand
why you don't play it. We'll read all the notes. We were
doing that for a while until it became impossible because people
were weren't writing notes. They were writing war and peace.
Yeah. And so they'd be like a three page monograph about blah,
blah, blah. The way I see it, you know, I saw this on Glenn
Beck and they go on and on and then we try to edit it down a
little bit usually on the floor. Why? Because he's spreadsheet
comes in in the morning. And then they get mad that we didn't
read the whole No, you forgot to mention my wife. So we
eventually killed that part of it. If you really have something
to say, you can become an executive producer. And then you
can say it there. And you might get lucky in this section. But
in this case, when somebody sends in a check and then writes
a note, and then in the note, there's some interesting stuff
and handwritten
notes do sometimes have priority because they're fun to read, and
they're beautiful territory.
A lot of effort. Just donation as a belated birthday gift to
the man who hit me in the mouth last June, his name you asked
future night Kevin McCarthy. He just turned 30 I figured out
figured this would be the perfect gift for the best friend
of 25 years. Oh, yeah. You may also know just a peculiar amount
as I'd like to call his girlfriend Kimberly to this day.
She earned her stripes at Club 33 When she recently questioned
the show's accuracy at brunch from now on any woman who
questions the no agenda show will be forced to dance.
This is a good policy. Yes, you will be fought
we believe those guys that can't be true. How's the club now?
From documents mostly?
How was the club now? Can we open this again? Sunday, Sunday
Sunday Sunday.
He's asshole inspectors. The guy can't I told you about this
after the last the show that you know that we have water damage
and we had to have another inspection. The guy makes an
appointment, and then cancels the appointment the same day.
Now I have to wait a week for the guy to come back.
Oh, man. He's like we have these guys here in Austin. I see them
at the neighbor's house have to have trucks here and it's called
the code compliance force. And literally their slogan is
protecting Austin's quality of life. And they have uniforms and
badges and shit and they're looking for really Yes. And
looking for I took a picture of one the other day. Wow. Oh,
yeah, they're like cops. And they got cop like cars.
Nowadays. They got uniforms and he's got to be a cop lashing bad
just like this in the third thing. The hall monitor
syndrome.
Everyone. Like everybody wants to be a cop. Yeah, it is or SWAT
team. Yeah, even better little towns have SWAT teams for it's
never made sense to me. And then they're always bused into the
wrong house and they never you know, they wrecked the guys
shoot the guys dog is dog shootings everywhere. Anyway,
and go on. Alright, so that's a note from George Keith McAlpin
and Imperial Pennsylvania $100.01. And he's He wants us to
work our asses off but he put the one cent in is what he says.

which we read I guess. The ADA ADA thing. Ah, yeah, sorry. 999
thing off to ya know, I
got the I got the you know, today is not a good day on the
computer. I don't know what's good. It's time you know, this
thing is this thing has been around for so long. We've had
this for this is since San Francisco days, man. Really?
Yeah. This is like what is it? No.
What? Not play the 999 thing for the for our friend. That's what
I just did. Oh, okay. Anyway, he said long, kind of a long note
about he finds a job. Great. And so like, that's good. Anyway,
he's got to data that dot dot dot, Daniel Brown. That's my way
of saying 8888 AES in Deutschland. He's in the armed

up the pace here. Thanks.
And we most certainly do. We need all the help that we can
get and continue because you know, there's actual work being
done here. You know, it's always amazing to me, the couple of
people that artists talking I know what I do, like well, why
can't you come like why can't we go out? No, because I work on
Sundays. Just so it's just a microphone we just talking crap.
You just go on and spout conspiracy theories.
They said that
it's not exactly that way. But sometimes, you know, it's, we
make it look easy. That's what it is. We make it look easy.
Please do try doing your pro. Try do a show. Go ahead and do
it. Show. Right now I'd like to give everybody some well
deserved karma. And this also, of course includes our donors
who check in under the $50 level, which is often done
specifically, to remain anonymous. I also have a note
here, John Adam wants a copy of an email I got from PayPal
stating that you suspended my monthly subscription, which I
know is not true. And it happened because I got a new
credit card number, thank you target. And due to this lie, I
will stop using PayPal for my future donations to your show,
and I just set up an automatic payment from my bank, you should
be receiving a check from them by the end of the week. I think
you should keep reminding people about this issue and how easy it
is to use your bank instead.
On the bank, that bank thing works like a charm. I think the
banks are kind of you know, they don't know what's going on. They
set it up. And it's like, they have this service and it's free.
Yeah.
Yeah. Which is good for us too. Yeah. So yeah, Pay Pal cancel
subscriptions all the time. On a second note, I'd like to share
my karma story. I recently moved from Rhode Island to Las Vegas,
Nevada. I've been trying to sell my house in Rhode Island since
October I didn't get any offers on it at all. I was paying two
mortgages for a couple of months a bunch of money was very tight
but a spirit a few bucks and decided to donate a little extra
for the show on February the 13th. Even though I didn't get
specific house still in common because my amount wasn't high
enough thanks to general karma. You guys sent out to all the
donors the very next day I got an offer on the house and I'm
closing on it at the end of this month. I was always a sceptic of
karma but this made me a believer thanks for creating a
great and outstanding product that no agenda show thank you
Greg W and for you sir and everyone else here's your
general purpose karma take it you've got karma and lovin and
then I have a quick mate good from five nine or nine or Bernie
Glynn? From Bear Mountain New South Wales Australia donated
$60.04 Of course he was voting for what is the four was that
the clip show or that was just to get out of the way or go dark
or whatever it
was darkness five. Please help
us for the Sunday show. Go to
Data. vorak.org/in a
randomised will do this for a moment.
Well, it's a big list of all the one and it's the same Bernie
Glenn who celebrated his birthday on March 13. Happy
birthday for your buddies here to no agenda show. All right,
then we have a couple of nice things to do. I've got David
Varney lined up. Then also Elliot Gardner now Elliot
Gardner we met him on the Hot Pockets tour Pennsylvania. His
birthday we celebrate his birthday, I think last Friday
before show 600 and his brother Andrew Gardner Sir Andrew
Gardner. He has so he has over 1500 in his his standings and he
is going to donate a part of that to compensate and fill up
his brother's knighthood. So because he already has he was
halfway there and so these brothers of course are big
supporters of the show and we're happy to night sir or Eliot
garden make him certainly a gardener. I do not see if
there's a special name for him. And we also have David drawl,
who was not knighted on show 600 So he is a black knight. doesn't
happen often but this one we literally slipped on it. And he
will be served Mr. Texas of Phoenix. So I'll get my blade
here. Didn't we have the one that was at the beginning of the
show to that I found David varney.
I gotta Varney just grabbed your sword and yeah, okay, good. All
right. David Terrell come on by Eliot Gardiner and David varney.
All three of you are now joining the elite group the no agenda
roundtable of Knights and Dames so hereby pronounce the sir.
Black Knights sir Mr. Texas of Phoenix, surely a gardener and
Sir David Varney, gentlemen, for you. I've got it right here.
Your hookers and blow your red boys in Chardonnay. If you want.
I've got some bad science and perky breasts, geishas and a
bucket of fried chicken hot pants and booze, sparkling cider
and escorts maybe just a minute and me. Congratulations, thank
you very much for your support of the best podcast in the
universe. It's highly appreciated, it keeps us going.
And it's a value for value proposition. So clearly you've
gotten the value Thank you. Go to nogen nation.com/rings to
pick up your ring sealing wax and your official certificate so
that you can not continue to hit people in the mouth. Yes,
indeed. I got let me see what can we just do a little complete
internet so just a just a two minute something completely
different? Yeah. Okay, this is a video that I thought was really
nice to play the audio from or you may you may or may not have
seen this. It's a two minute video and it's really cute, old
fashioned. images, but the the audio speaks for itself. And it
will put a little bit of this crazy world into perspective. I
can't
believe we made it. According to today's regulators and
bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 50s 60s 70s or
even early 80s Probably should not have survived. Our baby
cribs were covered with bright coloured lead based paint. We
had no childproof lids or locks on medicine bottles, doors or
cabinets. And when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. We
drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. We ate
cupcakes, bread and butter and drink soda with lots of sugar in
it. But we were rarely overweight because we were
always outside playing. leave home in the morning and play all
day. As long as we were back when the street lights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day smartphones, we didn't have
cell phones at all. No Playstations Xboxes limitless
channels on cable laptops or tablets. Facebook was an actual
face and an actual book. We had friends we went outside and
found them. We played dodgeball, and sometimes the ball would
hurt. We fell out of trees got cut and broke bones and teeth.
And there were no lawsuits from these accidents. No one was to
blame. But us remember accidents. We had fights and
punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over
it. We made up games with sticks and tennis balls. And although
we were told it would happen, we didn't put out any eyes. We rode
bikes or walked through a friend's home, knocked on the
door rang the bell or just walked right in and talk to him,
literally had tryouts. And not everyone made the team. Those
who didn't have to learn to deal with disappointment. Some
students weren't as smart as others. So they failed a grade
and we're held back to repeat the same grade tests were not
adjusted for any reason. Our actions were our own
consequences were expected. The idea of parents bailing us out
if we got in trouble in school or broke a law was unheard of.
They actually sided with the school or the law. Imagine that.
Now this generation has produced some of the best risk takers,
problem solvers and inventors ever. We had freedom, failure,
success and responsibility and we learn how to deal with it. If
you've related to anything that was just said you're one of
them. Congratulations. You made it. I love
that can be congratulations, you old fart. Yeah,
I like it congratulate.
This is the GED this night, I did test this kind of thing. I
knew you would hate it. I knew you would hate it. No, I mean, I
I'm not disagreeing with the thesis. But it's just the
Pontifical aspect of it. And this is the kind of thing it
shows up an email a lot. You somebody says, Oh, this is good.
Oh, and they should say like, get some it's chain letter. By
the way. It's not like somebody's sincerely emailing
you they're passing along a chain letter, which has a
laundry list of this crap. And you know how to do you know, the
doors to cars used to be to tone and they'd be all these kinds of
sentimental garbage. And I find it detestable. It's like, it's
got nothing to do with the problems at hand. But okay, you
know, we can bitch and moan and be sentimental about the, about
the way things should have been, or we used to be, or maybe they
were good, maybe they're best beside the point. That's not the
world we live in. We do have smartphones, it's the way the
way it is, and they're all gonna get cut off someday by some
government takeover. If anybody thinks that the one thing that's
never changed is the is the warlike characteristics of the
human species. And it's going to end up creating some horrible
situation killing millions of people, the way it always does,
and the cell phone connection is going to be gone. And people
don't know what to do, because they never got their ham
licence. That's.
And there it is your ham licence. Exactly. Bottom line
ham. I was thinking the other day, is it feasible? What is
your take on this? That the human species, it was not has
not been able to evolve in pace with what the internet delivers?
Oh, yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, we can't process we
don't know how to how to deal with it. Because when you when
you listen to this, you know, yeah, that's kind of how I grew
up. You know, we didn't have all that stuff. And all of a sudden
internet. I don't think
internet is the worst thing that's ever happened. The way I
see it,
I think you're right. It's the best of times and the worst of
times right now in the same bucket. But won't won't our
kids, will they? Will they? Or will it be their kids that maybe
can do something or they all be just these robots like Snowden
wheeling around on stage
is pretty much like the Futurama show with Nixon's head in a jar.
The kids will just be sitting in home, jerking off to porn, and
they'll be attending school on those robots with wheels. Yeah,
some might be eaten Pop Rocks. Yeah, it's true, though, as we
have no we don't understand how maybe we need internet
governance. Maybe we need to be rationed. Maybe.
I think I think just the powers that be the elites have told her
she's trying to protect their stuff throttle up once they get
their stuff, many of them got it gotten ill gotten stuff and as
much of it as by accident, but they've got it, they want to
keep it. They've they've decided they're just gonna keep the
whole world in check as long as they can and so they can enjoy
themselves.
Yeah, they're gonna throttle our access.
So I got a couple of clips show that you're gonna get a kick
out, Oh, good, I need a kick. Well, you're not gonna get a
kick. The exclude clips are kind of boring, but they're but what
the interesting thing was they were on Charlie Rose, and I've
got three of them Ukraine about this. The sanctions won't work.
Another expert, professor at Barnard College talks confirms
your L liquid natural gas thesis. But that's what it's all
about. And then the guy who's the host, which curiously isn't
Charlie Rose. Oh, well, wait a minute. Tell me about in this
sexuality.
It's in your DNA. Oh, that's a bummer. Because I was already
for Charlie.
So when Charlie Rose goes away for some reason, or maybe they
didn't want him on this particular show. talking to one
of the guests is the is the managing partner of the
Kissinger and Associates group.
Hmm. Sounds like a fun.
One is a professor at Barnard.
I'm Henry Kissinger, I'm
going to kill you. And the guy who's now the host, you're going
to just die. Richard Haass, the president of the Council on
Foreign Relations? Oh,
really?
Yes.
Guys, trying to make it more obvious. Wow, okay, sanctions
won't happen. First,
let's just play these and read and discuss,
how do I get placed in can a government that is going to be
at a minimum in the near term, not hostile to my interest is
not going to move closer to Europe. And keep this Ukraine in
play to a point where I think I can bring the whole thing and
Professor Martin, Kimberly just basically said that sanctions
might not be able to do a whole lot for us. What's your view? Do
you feel we've got economic tools that could basically
persuade Mr. Putin to temper his ambitions?
I think the short answer to that is no. Because particularly,
we're not prepared to do a lot of harm to ourselves.
But when you mean the United States, Europe, or both,
I think it has to be both. It has to be a consolidated, use
the term Western position. And there's a lot of economic
hardship you could create, that might cause Putin and Mr. Putin
to rethink, but we would have to be prepared to sacrifice a lot
on our sides. As, as Kim has said, I mean, they are
intertwined. You can't hurt Russia without hurting us in
some way. And the problem is that when you look at this from
the standpoint of European interest, and American interest,
not doesn't rise the level it does in Russia, so they're
prepared to withstand a lot more pain than we are. And I don't
think that we're prepared to do that damage to ourselves to make
a point about changing borders in Europe at this point.
All right. I just beat like to beat the point of that this,
nothing's gonna
come up. And, of course, it's all it's all just posturing and
it says, we just want the missiles on the border, and just
try to pressure the guy when he's weak and just go grab his
stuff.
Now, here's an interesting one. This is the LNG thesis, and I
only clipped this because I thought, because I know your
theory. And I like it. My because my theory is simpler,
which is all about Snowden. Although it's not, but I liked
that, that idea. But you're in the LNG camp, which thinks that
you know that this is all about getting our gas over there and
screwed. Big part of it. Not all but no, but it's a big part of
it. And this is the woman she's totally on board with this.
You've already expressed your scepticism on economic
sanctions. But if the West, for example, increased its military
collaboration with Poland and others, if the West increased
its energy exports to challenge Russia's advantages in that
area. Would Mr. Putin still see this as so much the tipping the
balance in his face is Mr.
Putin bullcrap. What is that all about?
The Council of Foreign Relations. Mr. Putin, I'm sorry,
your river?
Well, I think actually what Putin has done is to provoke the
West to do exactly those things. And what is so amazing is that
Putin already had a great deal of influence in Ukraine. Ukraine
is dependent on Russia for its natural gas imports. There is
such a large Russian ethnic population in Ukraine that it
meant that whatever coalition government were to emerge over
the long term in Ukraine, Putin would have influenced their
Putin was about ready to sign contracts for aircraft
development, with Ukrainian enterprises when all of this
went bad. And so in a sense, Putin has brought on himself the
fact that now NATO is going to focus on the East West divide in
a way that it hasn't been doing since the end of the Cold War,
and has certainly made it certain that Europe is going to
increase its capabilities to accept liquid natural gas and
other forms of of natural gas alternatives. So
when this happens, and the glow, shall we say wears thin in
Moscow, and suddenly the Russian economy is paying a price Russia
is even more isolated military and NATO is essentially found a
new lease on life. Does Mr. Putin then start confronting if
you will, second guessers and saying, Hey, this may not have
been such a good thing for us could could, even in the short
run, if this helps them in the medium and long run could just
come back, could could this come back and bite him?
Well, I'm sure what he's going to try to do is blame any
economic problems on the west, which he's done already with the
economic difficulties that Russia currently finds itself
in. But what's really going to make a difference is how the
leaders of the Russian businesses that have been
internationalised recently react to this. Gazprom is becoming a
pawn of the Russian state, and it doesn't want to do that it
wants to be a profit making entity.
What Who is that woman
left an envelope downstairs again, but it's a professor with
the winner
was the winner in the envelope. What was the winner in the
envelope? Ulis? Down left. Okay,
this was a bill. She's a professor at Barnard College.
So something that I did pick up on one thing in that clip that I
didn't know or maybe I did, but I'm just the he was working on
an aircraft contract with the Ukrainian manufacturers. Yeah, I
guess interesting. Brenton over
dead either. Maybe, anyway, let me just wrap this up with this
guy. This is the Council on Foreign Relations guy that most
of you would learn most most about him by his questions
themselves. There's also a buzzword in this last clip,
which I want you to see he ring the bell when you hear it, which
I warned you about. And this is just a random analysis about
what would happen if they you know, they start arming these
guys. And it's obviously nobody thinks that's a good idea.
If you were still in one of your old jobs at the State Department
or the White House, and the President said, Look, I don't
want to hear discouraging ideas. What I want to hear are your
best ideas for what we can do to get Mr. Putin to alter his
calculus, what would you tell the president? Yeah,
there are? Two things. One is we do have to recognise that is the
Ukraine question. And it's where Ukraine is going to be located
economically and geopolitically over the long term. And maybe
Russia had significant levers of influence in Ukraine. But the
problem was that Ukraine was drifting westward. That's what
the negotiation of the agreement association agreement was all
about. NATO was still on the table, even if push away on the
back burner at this point. So one of the positive things you
tried to do is to take Ukraine off the geopolitical table. At
this point, a lot of people have talked about neutrality, non
alignment, how can you formalise that in some way for some, for
some period to give Putin some competence that Ukraine is not
going to be in play?
Well, the prime minister of Ukraine just the other day
basically said, we have no intentions of becoming a member
of NATO basically meant to reassure shall we say, but this
would have to be something that then is endorsed by the United
States to major European powers, should that
be something the United States is prepared to do, either on its
own or in exchange for something else?
I think it's something the United States should be prepared
to do on its own. And it's something that you want to have
a conversation with, with Mr. Putin about as well.
What about the question, as some have said, of arming the
Ukrainians the idea that the United States in the West would
provide arms, I've heard the other side argued that that's
the worst of all options, because it would be so slow to
have a real military effect yet I might actually provoke Mr.
Putin to do something.
I mean, the problem we have is Ukrainian state and the state of
the Ukrainian state. I mean, the way you would deal with Putin,
ideally, is to build a functioning Ukrainian state,
Russia moves into vacuums, or they don't move into places
where they're going to be meet stiff resistance.
Calculus,
calculus, calculus, I keep an eye out for that word. I do have
one more clip I want to play which is this is back going back
to the council and strategy and international whatever, which is
the this is a little this is like when we spotted the Crimean
thing. This is a saint, this is a similar situation. Apparently,
there's a similar situation in Moldova, this
is what what's his face? McCain mentioned Moldova, didn't he?
Yeah, right. And this little situation of everybody that's at
this think tank with all the hot shots of Brzezinski and the rest
of them they all said this is not thing to even talk about or
think about because we still got to deal with the Ukraine we
should focus while
just while this is playing what is the name of this think tank
again that everyone was at
the Centre for strategy strategic, the Centre for
Strategic and International Studies. Okay. Si si s and I
think the guy who asked this question is from the I s another
one of these bullcrap operations that are essentially just
policymakers for the you know, the good for the State
Department, largely thanks to
fossilise boo her from the ISS. There is another country which
has a common border with the with an EU member and with a
NATO member and which has an agreement With the EU, and
that's Moldova. And Moldova also has its own Crimea in the form
of Transnistria, which is now asking Russia to become part of
the Russian Federation. And there is a game which is
beginning now, between Russia and Moldova to get Moldova to go
to the Eurasian agreement in exchange of trans history or not
being made part of Russia, what should we be doing now? To
prevent that particular domino from falling? Because if it
does, then you're going to have a problem for Russia, of
territorial continuity between Russia and Transnistria and
Russia and Crimea. And that happens to be the southern
Borderlands of Ukraine.
Transnistria or trans mystery? Which one is it?
Trans nistri tra N S n i s t r i a
great name. Yeah, really like that.
To break away state located mostly on the strip of land
between the river didn't Nestor and the eastern Moldova and
border with you the route with
right Right, right. Right. What's what's going on there?
There's got to be something valuable. Now, I don't know.
It's it's I'm looking. I'm looking at the si si s
operative. $29.8 million in 2010. I've noticed a lot of
these these, these big think tanks have not yet even filed
their 2012 form 990s which is their past due now. I mean, you
can only get an extension until October of 2013. Just like you
know, your own taxes like your personal taxes. Yeah, you
can push it to one,
seven. But why? Why did these big organisations what? What's
the problem? Why can't they just do it? Why can't they do it?
I don't know what doesn't make sense. You think they'd hire one
bookkeeper? Yeah, it's, it's annoying. And I don't want
knowing but so what? So what I mean, so what it's easy to get
your give, you're gonna be one of these operations running
this, this this kind of business with millions and millions of
dollars of cash flow. You know, you're gonna have to be
responsible, it seems to me. Other than that, that I think
it's anything but you know, as far as I'm concerned, everything
should be just a wealth tax. But either.
Yeah, no, but this should be no nonprofits. This bowl.
Yes. That's true, too. It's just a bunch of bullcrap paperwork,
your taxes? I can't find anything about this operation.
Isn't this Transnistria I
find at least for nonprofits, they should have to write in
detail who the donors are this, this, they don't have to report
that I hate that. Why don't they have to report who gives them
money? I think they should. Every person if someone's going
to be able to deduct that tax,
if you're a working person and you're getting your 1099 Because
you're a contractor, you are reporting with the 1099 who
you're getting your money from. So the citizenry is generally
reporting where they're getting their money. Yes. The citizenry
So your point is absolutely correct. Why aren't these people
reporting where they're getting their money from? Because it's
dodgy and shady. It's very dodgy very shady. I have all in on
this. I
have a little clip here. You know, one of my favourite things
to track for many years now has been the HPV, the HEPA pop up
and lack of my my virus. This is vaginal warts, really, which
apparently you can get in your throat if you will participate
in cunnilingus which is why boys and girls all over the world
have been vaccinated with the Gardasil vaccine. And I have
tracked this very closely because one of the things that
we have seen in the past is you think this
could explain a raspy voice as some commentators sell seeds.
Yes, but that's not from cunnilingus.
Ah, wow, that threw me off. At one of the things that I found
so egregious first of all, the vaccine does not really protect
you against all strains of vaginal warts, the oh, they also
go away by themselves. Yes, that can be you can get cervical
cancer, of course. But there's very simple tests, you can do
the vinegar test, Pap smear. Of course, they changed the Pap
smear not too long ago to a new system, which has very high
false positives. And we've tracked this consistently with
many women in my life and in our audience. Where you get a false
positive you start freaking out they say, Oh, you could be pre
cancerous, you pre cancerous, your pre dead in the go through
all these crazy tests, and then you do another test and then
nine out of 10 cases it's okay. But you know what? Just so that
never happens again. Why don't you take the first of two guard
There's all shots which will only cost your insurance $350
big scam as far as I'm concerned. And then there's a
lot of side effects and things that that, you know, I don't
want to get into all that but this is there's some evidence
that this HPV virus not helpful to a lot of young girls. There
very surprised to find out that Roche now, Merck makes the
Gardasil Roche is has been approved by the FDA with their
new test, which will do away with pap smears in schmeer pap
smears.
Bagel, it is the
actually, it'll do with pap smears all together and will be
replaced by the Roche HPV test.
Even though more than 12,000 American women were diagnosed
with cervical cancer last year. It's still the easiest female
cancer to prevent because of two main tests. The first is the Pap
test or Pap smear, which detects precancerous cells in the
cervix. It's the gold standard of cervical cancer prevention.
The Pap test is recommended for all women aged 21 to 65 years,
although the cancer has a tendency to show up in mid life.
The second is the HPV or human papilloma virus test, which
looks for the virus. Almost 99.9% of cervical cancers are
caused by HPV. If you get an HPV test with pap, the cells
collected during a pap smear we'll be tested for HPV in a
lab. Talk with your doctor whether an HPV test is needed.
In some cases, an HPV vaccine may be recommended. But keep in
mind the Pap test and the HPV test only screened for cervical
cancer. Neither test detects for ovarian, uterine or vaginal
cancers.
Exactly oh,
by the way, they like just said maybe they may find me at the
shot. But well, here.
Here's the interesting part. Two of our producers, were at the
ballroom at College Park, Maryland Holiday Inn with this
announcement by the FDA. And here's the report, the FDA
collaborated with Roche on the clinical trial and provided them
with the results that were presented at the hearing. To
achieve the results. The statistical analysis that took
place was not done properly because the samples were not
normalised which skewed the clinical trial information in a
way that proved the results that were desired by the FDA. The
asshats at Roche was so confident as to the outcome of
the hearing. They were bragging in the Holiday Inn restaurant
dining room, they had the whole hearing in the bag, because they
had been in bed and in collusion with the FDA all along and our
two producers overheard all this while they were there is imagine
these these asshats at Roche, we got his the bag FDA we do we do?
Oh good, no problem.
Wow, great. feet on the ground report.
And I've put the the entire report which contains a little
more information into the show notes with of course, names,
etc. removed as as they requested. But the information
is confident these are basically our version of whistleblowers. I
love that.
And of course, only our listeners know any of this.
And then I have one more email that'll be that'll be it for me
something that neither of us really picked up on. But of
course, why would we? And but it's so we'll actually have two
things. It's so obvious once. Once it was pointed out to me,
come on. It's just not a good computer day. Come on.
I would run a virus check on that machine. Yes,
you're from episode five, nine or nine or Neil deGrasse Tyson,
this is the guy who's doing the who's doing the new Cosmos show
and science letter that shut down. Did you get this one? All
right. Well, I don't know if you did. But so let me just go back
briefly to a small piece of Neil deGrasse Tyson,
we all know we live in a politically divided country for
almost anything is fair game for snipers on both sides. But
science? Shouldn't science be immune from politics? After all,
it's called scientific fact for a reason. And yet there are
millions of climate deniers, evolution deniers vaccine
deniers out there. Last year in a speech on climate change,
President Obama summed up the war on science this way. I don't
have much patience for anyone who denies that this
challenge is real. We don't have time for a meeting of the
flatter society.
Many Americans agree with them. But many other Americans see
science as an attack an attack on their values or on their
religion or on what they believe to be true. Which brings me to
my next guest. I am so excited. He's here today. He may just do
The man who can end the war on science or on science, he's got
a better chance than you are. I have. He's Neil deGrasse Tyson,
an astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium in New
York.
I keep hearing Assad Assad physicist. It's now it's really
in my brain. Yeah, you're getting
his own series cosmos. Can you imagine a primetime network
television show all about science. Pretty amazing. Pretty
amazing.
Thanks for hey, I want to talk all
about cosmos in a moment. But I first want to ask you, do you
think there is a war on science the way I'm describing? And if
so, how do you think we can broker a peace that our
civilization, our civilization is built on the innovations of
scientists and technologists and engineers who have shaped
everything that we so take for granted today? So some of the
science deniers are science eight, these are people who are
telling you telling that to you while they're on their mobile
phone? Oh, oh, God, GPS just told us to go left. Yeah. Okay.
So I don't. So it's time for people to sort of sit back and
reassess what role science has actually played in our lives and
know and learn how to embrace that going forward, because
without it, we will just regress back into the cave. You don't
talk about the spherical Earth with NASA and then say, Oh, now
let's give equal time to the Flat Earthers. But science is
not there for you to cherry pick. Alright,
here we are into the email received Adam and John, enjoy
your discussion episode 599 of the Neil deGrasse Tyson clip on
science and climate deniers. I just want to add an observation
I think that you and John may have missed or didn't have time
to point out no, we missed it. The language that Tyson and his
interviewer use is religious language. Tyson says sorry, yes,
it's I'm still sick. Tyson says science is not there for you to
cherry pick. That's true. Whether you believe it in it or
not. You could decide not to believe in it. But that doesn't
change the reality. As a Christian, Adam and John, I
recognise this as faith language particularly used in
apologetics. I have heard and read arguments and sermons just
like this. The Bible is not there for you to cherry pick.
It's true whether you believe in it or not. I submit that science
as a whole with no distinction between fields of study, some of
which are more theoretical than not, is being positioned as a
religion with scientists as the modern day prophets. As
technology and science becomes more complicated so that as the
old quotation goes, they see more like magic. Belief in
science looks more like faith. You and I have not done any
experiments or studies or seen any scientific results. And we
trust that the what the researchers tell us and not even
that what the media tells us, the researchers have found, we
as a culture have come to believe that the scientists were
there many educational degrees and arcane jargon that only the
privileged few understand are the truth seekers and truth
tellers is has to be frustrating to scientists who truly do want
to seek truth, and who know how scientific inquiry should work,
not by consensus, or by adhering to belief system, but by being
open to the possibility of your theories being proven wrong. And
I think she spot on, and this is exactly what is happening. And I
think people like deGrasse Tyson know, it's hot, and they're part
of it. Is cherry picking the language is it really is
equating science with religion.
Yeah. And in fact of the matter. Okay, you know, where that came
from my identity is because it's in my brain, if you call your JC
did some research on this. And fact of the matter and matter of
fact, and the same route, which was a, which was some joke
usage, because facts do not have matter. And so when you say fact
of the matter, or matter of fact, it's it means nothing.
Literally, it means that it means the opposite
of what you think yes, yeah. It's just just the fact of the
matter is
the fact of the matter. That means the opposite of what
you're going to say next. It means to whatever you're going
to say next is bull. Right? Well, anyway, the point is, is
that yeah, this was a great letter, I thought was the letter
of the month, it was a nail that we didn't even think in those
terms. And you can cherry pick, because in many studies, there's
like, this thing does this, this thing does this and now we came
along and found it does this. It does that you know, these
studies, if they're not funded by some corporation, that with
an end result in mind that you better achieve or you don't get
your money. If it's a real study, you can get all kinds of
contradictory information you have to cherry pick certain and
also a GPS, or cell phone or iPhone is engineering. It's not
scientific breakthrough and discovery is engineering using
technology. It's not science, then everything is science. Then
I'm A scientist because I like talking it's
this food science yeah Food Science
Yes.
I mean the way the proteins act when you heat them up then there
was doing a study I'm just cooking some they eat
this scientist David ro pike ropeik R O P E ik. in Scientific
American sigh I am wrote a piece about the verdict of the
scientists in Italy, who failed to communicate the earthquake in
L'Aquila in 2009. So a court in Italy has convicted six
scientists to think it was six or nine years of prison. Yeah,
it
is great.
Well, here's what's great. This is this, I think is a professor
I'm not sure what he is he saying? Yes. We need to let all
sudden people who deny science or stop communication of science
should be penalised and go to jail. And I'm thinking yes, I
totally agree because all of those 97% who were all in when
it turned when we finally find out that this was a big joke and
a big lie this bullcrap that you've made up you're all gonna
go to jail. And you don't you don't have to go to jail just
put you in the stockade is put you here on the town square
there'll be enough for me that'd be great that was wasted gonna
have we need to bring back the stockade. already.
I'm already working on a bit on how that's going to come down.
Oh, tell me just a bit. I have to do the bit. I can't tell you
that.
You can't give be given it away. But it's a good bit. Oh,
that's a good bit. It's a good bit. It's like I just did to the
acting thing. I'm not in the mood to do I gotta be I gotta
get my I gotta think about it. I only have a couple more things.
Well,
we're overdue we got to stop but okay couple more thing i one
more thing you got a couple go for your couple. Just do my I
just want to play how lucky are you people that we just sit here
and don't stop thinking about tomorrow time to take a hard
break. That's right news coming up. We got some commercials to
play and oh, by the way, my Ferrari has to be picked up at
the garage so I'm out of here. See ya.
Obama record on transparency on Democracy Now, but they still
vote for the guy.
New figures show the Obama administration denied a record
number of Freedom of Information Act requests last year despite
pledges of transparency. According to the Associated
Press, the White House denied or partially censored 36% of FOIA
requests in a record 57% of cases the administration cited
grounds of national security upon first taking office
President Obama had vowed to make his administration quote
the most open and transparent in history. He'll bots really,
and just last but not least, or it actually is least this you
know, the general that was busted for some sexual
harassment thing. This is a just an interesting report. I just
wanna make a quick quick comment on the general God plea deal for
a sexual son is I didn't realise this was a guy's a real sleazy
Boyd.
Military Prosecutors have agreed to drop sexual assault charges
against Brigadier General Jeffrey Sinclair, in return for
a guilty plea on lesser offences. The accuser and army
captain testified Sinclair twice forced her to perform oral sex
during a fair enough threatened to murder her and her family if
she told anyone exactly wonder place and Claire will admit to
mistreatment but avoid charges that would have forced him to
register as a sex offender if convicted.
Heaven forbid I mean guy pees in the park sex offender in Iowa,
and he's a sex offender. Are you having to take a leak? Oh, yeah.
Anyway,
my last one is a is an odd kind of an obvious one. But it didn't
kind of click until this morning, and I'd saw it and I
was like, Oh, of course. It's a 99/5 story. You know, we have 99
fists in this country's 99 fist against the one fist. It's the
99% versus the 1%. Here's report number one national
battle over inequality the rich versus the rest of the
population.
That's really the clue here. What is this all about this
inequality? We keep hearing about inequality, the rich
versus the poor that 99% versus the 1%
has taken a curious turn in the San Francisco Bay Area where
buses carrying high tech workers have become a symbol of the
divide.
This is PBS, obviously, and I don't know why they're running
the story. But oh, yes, I do know why they're running the
story again.
Every weekday morning between 730 and 10. Dozens of big sleek
buses rolled down Valencia Street in the heart of San
Francisco's traditionally Latino Mission District and other city
thoroughfares. When they began rolling six or seven years ago,
they were generally praised as an alternative to crowded
highways and carbon emissions from cars. But that's not the
issue says writer Rebecca Solnit, one of the first to
charge that the buses were more than a way to get to work.
They're unmarked and with tinted windows, so you don't know who's
inside there like a cross between a limousine and an
armoured personnel carrier cruising around the central
city.
Solid and others say the buses are symbols of the disparity in
wealth between the new tech workers and the longtime working
class residents of neighbourhoods like the mission,
and she adds the influx of techies is gentrifying the city.
So this story has been around for a while. And we know that a
lot of this has been trumped up. There's been activists who are
doing this I'm no doubt an NGO that nonprofits a bunch of just
provocateurs, Magary everywhere. Yeah. Well, it wasn't until this
morning, they figured out why this is happening. Do you have
an idea? They have you? Have you a clue?
Well, there's a couple of things I can see you going with this?
One is that they do when they bring in the armoured personnel
in the buses, which they do, they won't notice they won't
notice it. Nobody will notice and then they can run the cops
can run out like crazy. So that's always one possibility.
The second thing which I note here, though, I'm sure that's
not what you're going to talk about, is that, you know, you're
talking about guys having to take the bus to work as the
upper class. I don't think so. Okay, how fancy the buses taking
a bus to work. It's just not. It's not like you're living it.
You're not living the high life. Let's put it that way.
But it's being positioned as living the high life. It's the
99% against the 1%. Yeah, and it's an all it's it's so obvious
why this is being ratcheted up. Now, when I saw spokes hole for
the president Dan Pfeiffer on chip show. Well, look,
there is no question. This is a tough map for Democrats. That's
what happens when you want a lot of elections like we did in
2008. But it but the good news is, is that we have good
candidates. And most importantly, we're on the right
side of the issue that matters most to most of the public jobs
in the economy. Here's what the President is going to do. He is
going to lay out the terms of the of the debate in this
election is a choice between Democrats who support an agenda
of opportunity for all for Republicans for an agenda of
opportunity for a few.
There it is 1% Republicans who support an agenda for only the
few the rich, they're the 1%. That's it. That's the
whole buddy in that bus. I guarantee if you took a poll,
they're all Democrats. I
know. But that's not important. No,
I know, it's not important, because it's all positioning.
And this is what the Democrats have been doing very well. This
is what
the guns thing is about is have women never ever vote for
Republicans again. What was the other one? We had another one?
Another? Yeah, we have two or three of them, we should put it
on a wall. We should write something down from time to
time. Once in a while, just the newsletter. Nice newsletter, by
the way, hit that comment. Let's see for Sunday, or Sunday, I
will be talking about the single resolution mechanism that was
just signed in Euro get moulded nation land, which is
essentially how the banks will be bailed out with your savings.
That's why they call it something like single resolution
mechanism. So
you guys, do you go like, Oh, whatever. Whatever.
We'll see. That's the meanwhile I'm working. I've got some
common core stuff, obviously. And no, I'd be excited to talk
to you again, John.
It's always fun to be some more action in the Ukraine, I
suspect. No, we were very negligent about Venezuela.
Oh, yeah. Hold on. Let me get Fox News for this investigation.
Chef. Catherine, one of the possibilities they've told us is
that one of these objects is a cargo container. Let's check
CNN. The probability that it is the aircraft
again, a double hit. Ladies and gentlemen, if that doesn't prove
to you that the no agenda show is what you should be listening
to and supporting a divorce.org/and a nothing will
that is
horrible. We'll talk to you again on Sunday right here on no
agenda.
