Oh, what a pleasant surprise. I'm Rhett. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak. It's Thursday, April 24 2014. Time again for your
Gitmo nation media assassination episode 611. This is no agenda.
Back live here in Region six and the Travis high tide on Austin,
Texas, centre of the police state in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry.
And back in northern Silicon Valley where I'm testing
microphones. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Hill. Testing testing 1212. I love this new microphone you
have. Thanks. It's custom. And you know, we were testing when
did we didn't we test that before? Like, last week?
Yeah, over Yeah. privately. Yeah.
privately. Yeah. And, and I was thinking, Wow, man, I gotta
upgrade my stuff. And I've been saving. Oh, you
got a good mic. You say you gotta go. The mic is
good. But I need to have a better road rig. Because I'm
gonna, I'm expecting travel. Yeah. And I have put I had
something a new piece of gear came out. Okay, which will make
it possible to, you know, I'm still working on the ultimate
podcast device, my guy, by the way, like, flaked out? That my
builder. Yeah, exactly. So my builder flaked out and he's
like, Oh, I can't do it. Why can't he do it? I don't know. He
didn't. He knows he has a job. He works at Amazon. He's working
for a living. Yeah, he has a job. I was paying him nothing.
Yeah, is it he has a young child. And he I think he has
some points, maybe? Well, I
he actually he was very nice. He said, You know, I received
everything is that I claim no, no ownership. I'll give you
everything back. I just can't finish on okay. And actually, he
said that three months ago, and I said, Well, why don't you
sleep on it? Man? What do you think about it, I'll get back to
you. Because you know, when you have a good builder, then you
got it anyway, it doesn't matter. But there's this new
piece of gear that came out. And I believe I can put together
really, it's not going to be cheap. I had to say for it. But
it will truly be an ultimate device. That all you need to add
to that to create a podcast equal to the best podcast in the
universe is talent. As well, as long as as long as you got some
talent, then you're good to go.
Hey, it minutes before he gone leave me hanging. What is this
thing? Do? Well, who makes it? What's the deal? And I
know whoa, I'm thinking this will be part of my giblet is I'm
going to create an E giblet. And then people can replicate it.
I'm not just gonna give all the secrets away. I don't think
that's appropriate. Now, let me let me say something here, John.
It is good that we travelled over our break. And thank you,
everybody for for allowing us to go. Now was incredibly important
that we got a little bit of rest, although I'll say the
place we were staying had Wi Fi all the way down to the beach.
And good Wi Fi and this login crap. You know, it was just, it
was just you got a password and it worked everywhere.
So wait a minute, regular while actually lounging on the beach?
drinking margaritas? Yes, you could have actually been doing
the podcasts I be
in fact, we said if we if we had if we had more money, we could
have stayed a few extra days. And I could have done the show.
From there. The bandwidth was sufficient. You know, there was
if you'd like to understand that doing the show on the road or
anywhere really. It's not a matter of just you know, the two
and a half or three hours that we do the show the preparations
for the show. If you don't have sufficient bandwidth, it takes
hours longer out, maybe it can take a day longer, and you wind
up cooped up and if the if the if there's no Wi Fi then you're
in the room sweating for hours catching up on emails and
everything instead of a nice, leisurely the way I do it is a
whole day. I'm capturing information stories,
categorising and we don't have real bandwidth is a problem.
People don't realise what a difference that really makes
even the difference between here in Los Angeles where we were
before it was it's incredible. But that's not what I wanted to
talk about regarding our travel. I want to talk about the police
state. That is the United States of America because you really
don't realise it until you've travelled abroad and we haven't
been away in. What's it been now six months? And of course, no
annual meeting and we have heard No, I don't know. So we went to
Mexico. I've never been to Mexico. I've had a huge personal
issue with Mexico. I've always figured that me I'm gonna get
kidnapped and gang raped No such luck. Yeah, I noticed. But let
me tell you a little bit about the difference between Mexico
and their police state and our police state upon return so
first we arrived in, in Mexico, and the customs agent. He's
loving it. He's he speaking Dutch or what? Some form of
Dutch. This Mexican guy, and this is interesting and young.
And Mickey and I are at the desk together, and he's really nice.
And now you're here on vacation, which you do on and when I owe
you, you know, and he really had to a couple of sentences there
in Dutch to what you learn that he says, oh, from pornographic
movies. Okay. This is the customers guy. Actually later,
the thought crossed my mind that maybe he somehow thought we were
Bobby Eaton and her husband or something. And he had seen some
of her movies. He's like, Hey, this is this these two blonde
people from Holland. Yeah, that must be Bobby Eaton and her
husband. Porn Stars porn stars. Yet kind of like yes, I learned
from pornographic movies. Wink Wink, wink, nudge nudge. Okay.
So, but now the departure, leaving Mexico on our way back
home. Now, of course, you know that it is extremely likely that
terrorists will try to hide bombs in their shoes in their
bags and their laptops and their battery packs to blow up
aircraft. We flew United American aircraft over the
United States. You know, this is fact
fallen out of the sky like really believable. So
here is the I don't know if you've been to Mexico recently.
Here is the procedure at Cancun International Airport. No, show
me your papers slave. Just you got to take it. Alright, get in
line. There's a sign that literally says please keep your
shoes on. This is very nice. Please do not take your laptop
out of your bag it's on the sign. And there's no slave
scanner it's
just do on your on Create p it you're on TSA Oh
no, no, no pre check. There's no pre check line is one line and
it moves really fast. Okay, and there's no one yelling at you.
There's no one barking orders at you. The guy who was operating
the bag scanner didn't even have a uniform on he just had a shirt
I have like a Hawaiian shirt. It's just so please keep your
shoes on just walk through the magnetometer no slave scanner,
keep your laptops in the bag. Everything's great. Now we
arrive at Houston International Airport. And I'd already been
warned by one of our Austin based producers who said oh man,
you know, I I just want you to know last time when he and his
wife I guess they were on their honeymoon. They came back from
Cancun through Houston. And he said that the customs guys were
shouting at people they were making college girls cry in line
shouting stuff like you know you get lying around. I'll make sure
you never get me into the country. And so of course I
didn't tell Nikki this because as you know she has a flag on
her on her profile. Right? And she's always asked to go sit in
a little fish tank. So we we walk up to the the Customs
Border Patrol desk together. after someone has yelled at me
this line this line. I'm American says yes. Or she has
green card this line this line this line. And I'm not kidding.
This is this is how innocent oriental guy. It's okay, so I'm
already a little tense about this. And so the first thing the
guy says is what are you friends? No, we're married. Oh,
well, how come you your last name? Not curry why I tell you
what is this your culture? Is this your culture in your
country where you don't change your last name? Is that your
culture? This is the question she's getting out. What kind of
cuisine is this your culture? Really this is why is that why
didn't you change your name? Now Mickey has a huge problem with
authority. Are you feeling it? So she says, Well, it's 2014 and
modern women don't necessarily have to change their name. Okay.
Yeah, they want to see you in the office. And I What can I go
with her? No. No, you can go back there and sit on a chair
down by baggage claim and wait for her I know you love this.
I do. Great.
Well, so Mickey gave me the report and I am I need to file
an official complaint now. Oh yeah, absolutely. Now wait for
this. So she is escorted by and she, she gets so mad that she
you know she and we have a connecting flight to Austin by
the way in like an hour. Oh, she's
Oh, you're gonna miss that this is what they love to do well
make you miss your connection. Well
check it out. So she says she has been through this before and
she ended Atlanta with a connecting flight. And and I'm
just going to describe the guy cuz she said the guy who all of
this story is about behind in the little fish tank was a big
fat Hispanic guy. Okay, I'm just describing it. So you
understand? Yeah, and and hates whites. And so his colleague
because he was the fattest Hispanic guy there just so that
his colleagues who will be listening, they'll know that I'm
coming for him. So she says, I have a connecting flight. Note
he says, As of right now you have nothing Can you can you
believe that? This is the police state of America has come to
this and Mickey speaks very good Spanish. And she you know, yeah,
she lived the Canary Islands for a number of years. Oh, and, and
so she's sitting there and you of course now they're making
your weight extra long. As of right now you have nothing lady
shutdown, set up chef's slave and two flight attendants walk
in escorting someone else. And then in Spanish. This guy goes
to his colleague Hey, which one are you gonna fuck?
Oh, really? Oh, yeah.
It's Spanish. Yeah. Then Mickey. Of course.
Mickey Of course, being the whitest blonde ever from
Tolland? Yep. So does she call him out?
No, she wouldn't. She She said that she considered it. But she
really knew we were tired. We really want to go home, get on
the get on the flight. This is the problem. You see. If you're
going to make the stand, then you're going to make the choice
that she didn't want to make the choice without
minute, call them out and call his bluff. And he would have
released her. I said
next time you just do it. I'll miss the flight for that. Screw
these guys. So this this police states that we have that we are
now in? It is it is despicable. It makes me ashamed to be an
American. And of course this all happened when Customs Border
Patrol changed from the State Department to Department of
Homeland Security.
Right, right. By the recall we talked about on the show. There
was a huge amount of sexual harassment going on. The
lesbians Yeah, for Echelon harassing the men. Yeah.
I mean, at this point, you know, it's just wow, it would have
been easier for us to creep into the wheel well and drop out. And
apparently that's possible. So, but I told me, he said next time
this because she walks out hurts the first thing she says to me,
I'd hate this country. And she and she doesn't, but she does.
And I hate it too. And I'm I'm so sick and tired of what
is okay, so the edge?
No, no, not this is. Do you remember when Mickey got
deported? Due to a clerical error on my part, but she was
deported. You know, they walked all the way to the plane. It
just It was a horrible experience. And I called my
uncle who could who can speed dial three presidents. And he
said, Adam, to get a lawyer, I can't help you ever since this
became Department of Homeland Security, it's a black box.
Their job is to make your life impossible. They they sell no
for an answer. I'm sorry, I can't help you. And of course,
if you read, he can't help me because it wouldn't. It would
not be worth spending, whatever remaining political credits he
has for the rest of his life on that. Because of course, he
could have done something but know that he made a quick
decision. No way. I still want to hang out with some people
before I know I'm dead. I want to hang out and do some cool
stuff, to not spending his political capital on that. But
But what has happened since 911 In this country, and you can see
it now everywhere there was in the show notes. It makes no
sense to play the audio because there's no voice over anything.
There's a webpage with eight or nine Police Department
recruitment videos. Have you seen this as big it was kind of
virally around? And yeah, it's for different towns, and there's
one in Texas and there's one in Philadelphia, and these are for
five to eight minute videos. It's like Starsky and Hutch
meets, you know, Hill Street Blues meets CSI, you know,
there's dressed up and military guard. They're shooting they're
black and people that tasing pee Full. Yeah, I was like, Yeah,
join us. Yeah. And and people in general, not just regular Joe's
aren't smart, you know, they fall for this crap. And we
become, you know, a police state and it's just it's very
upsetting. I think Texas is about the only place I still
kind of feel comfortable and I'm not even so sure about that. And
then we get into the line for our flight from Houston to
Austin, which is a 27 minute flight. And, you know, show me a
dip.
But you gotta get in another line getting another light.
You got to go through another security check. Oh, yeah. Oh,
after you leave the customs area and a guy with an embroidered
badge. Show me a passport, where you really only have to show him
the technically I happen to know this. You only have to show him
your customs form passports. He was like, Hey, Oh, could you
please show me your passports? Yeah, okay. And he looks at you.
Looks at the picture. He looks at me. It looks at Mickey looked
at a picture. Mm hmm. All right. But I just that like way like,
go on? Like I really I should. Must you clearly smuggling
something you look, you look evil. This is how I feel. And
then you know, there you are. You're in the TSA. Like we've
just had this wonderful experience, where we could have
been a Mexican shoe bomber. Where we didn't would please
keep your shoes on, please keep your laptop in your bag. And
there it is. All right, everything out of your pocket.
out of your pocket. Take your shoes off, take the laptops out
laptop in a single booth in a single bed. No. Laptop shoes, no
water no back up and move along. And of course, we both opt out.
We didn't even want to do the can't raise my arms. Then we
just opted out we just so mad.
Because there was a there was a spinner or the one of the
things.
Oh, yeah. Slave slave scanner, of course. Okay. We're not going
to go through that. And they immediately call for female
assist. And they let me wait for 20 minutes. Don't you love that?
And the guys are looking at me. And the dog was like, ma'am, I'm
sorry. Everyone's like it, whatever. You And so somehow,
we've gotten to this point, where you give someone a badge,
even if it's embroidered. And they become asshole numero uno,
and I'm sick and tired of it. And I'm going to continue you we
have to say things now. And you know, we need some. It's not
even civil disobedience. But I've told me the next time this
happens, you make a scene. And then they come and get me. We're
all bused in and I'm going to make a scene. This is bullshit.
I'm sick, and I'm sick and tired. And I want to end of a
TSA agent is yelling at me, I'll say Shut up. You shut the fuck
up. Don't yell at me. We have to stop this idiocy. I'm not going
to be intimidated by people like this anymore. And we have an
election coming up a midterm election, vote everybody out,
everybody. If there's an incumbent, just get rid of them.
I don't care. Just get rid of this person. Regardless, if the
people you are slipping into your own abyss. And the whole
point of the American project, if you will, the whole idea was
that people, if left alone, could kind of take care of
themselves and would work stuff out. And if we had a couple of
simple rules to abide by, and everything would kind of you
know, would work and it worked for a long time, really, until
911 is really where in my life where it really just changed to
such an idiotic degree. And we became this this mean,
authoritarian, police state run by lawyers and bankers and I'm
sick and tired of it. I'm really this really this really made me
mad. And how this is being propagated this is there was a
speech done by Lisa Monaco. And Lisa Monaco is the essentially
she replaced John Brennan. John O. Brennan, interesting. Her
name is Lisa. Oh, Monaco, just to make it a little funnier. I
think she's of Dutch descent. And if you look at her
Wikipedia, there's no there's very sparse. Now she went
straight from college to summa cum laude, right into politics
and right into Council on Foreign Relations and all this
stuff. But she's been a an operative in counterterrorism
for a long time. And not just counterterrorism. She's the
Department of Justice lawyer of course. And she did the speech
at where was it? I think it was Harvard maybe. Course. Probably
got paid for it. Harvard Kennedy. School. And there were
a number of things that she said, including parents needing
to keep an eye on their children because you know, everyone's
being radicalised. And luckily, she No, there's no video of that
only a transcript. Luckily, she was on PBS. With Gwen ISIL. I
feel I feel my heart with joy. And I want you to listen to what
she is saying. The message essentially is people of
America, you need to keep an eye on that other guy. Because that
other guy, particularly that other guy's kid, could become a
bomber. Now kinda radicalised bomber, like the Boston bombers,
which is why she was on the show. And he and they are
important, we know that they are, have already co opted a lot
of preachers. Now a lot of church leaders, they're all in
on this. But also doctors, teachers, and ultimately, yes,
parents, we all have to continuously be monitoring
children, and keep an eye on them and report your child to
the authorities if he starts changing behaviour, because you
know, a kid could clearly be could be radicalised and be the
next al Qaeda bomber in the homeland?
Well, I think what we've learned is that there are limits to what
the federal government can do. In terms of identifying
individuals who are being drawn to violence, we're not always
going to be able to see the warning signs, the government
isn't best positioned to see that necessarily all the time.
In fact, we've we've crunched the data that be better because
we've crunched the data. Oh, John,
we've crunched what data,
we'll have no fear. In fact, fact, we've crunched the data.
So we know what we're talking about the data the science is in
we have crunched it.
Not always going to be able to see the warning signs. The
government isn't best positioned to see that necessarily all the
time. In fact, we've we've crunched the data that be better
positioned? Well, I think we can be by working with the community
by engaging with
it. So instead of Eiffel asking that stupid question, Why does
an Eiffel say What do you mean crunch the data, crunched? What
data? Because
she's a hagiography it's not her job to actually Oh, I don't
know, ask questions. You have to have a podcast for that. In
fact, we've we've crunched the data that be better positioned
shouldn't be there?
Well, I think we can be by working with the community by
engaging more. We've looked at this very hard. What we've heard
that
we've crunched the data, we've looked at it very hard. looked
at what how can you look at something very hard? Is that is
that proper? Or even even? Hard? Oh, I
looked at it hard. Looking at it so hard, at it
found from one study is that 80 in 80% of the cases, community
members saw warning signs, but they didn't see them as an
indicator of a problem.
Now, in 80% of the cases, this is what this is, is when when
someone commits a horrible atrocious crime, the news goes
and interviews the neighbours and say, oh, yeah, he was always
a quiet guy kept to himself never noticed anything. Is that
your data that you crunched? Yes, the data. Lisa Monaco,
whether it was a teacher, hearing from a student that they
were interested in, travelling abroad, to fight, whether it was
a parent seeing a kid being more confrontational, ah,
as your kid been more confrontational recently, John,
I'm turning him into the police.
We have to learn together and educate community members and
trusted community members who can come and intervene and point
that usually youth,
okay, so we need to trust that I'm really dissecting this
because this, this is the core of a big, big, big problem. We
need to trust community members to identify you to be able to go
to a community member. So you should go to your preacher or
your teacher or your doctor and say, you know, little Johnny's
been acting up a little bit. I think we should probably take
him downtown. Now having to have someone talk to him a little
bit, make sure he's not radicalised to a different path
is watching. For signs watching for behaviour changes. Is that a
little passive in the face of what's sadly and repeatedly a
growing problem here?
Well, it's not the only thing we're doing. We certainly need
to make sure we as a community are poised to see those warning
signs and see them as signs of trouble. But our law enforcement
needs to end has been an in fact Boston is a great example of
this. Prepare for in advance.
Ah, okay, so not only do we have to keep an eye on these Clearly
potential terrorists, we have to prepare. We gotta be ready,
ready for when they strike those kids, we can kill them
to understand how they're going to respond, how they're going to
work together to respond to an act of violence.
You mentioned in your speech in Cambridge, a comprehensive
prevention model. What does that look like at the federal level?
The state level, local level?
Ah, here we go. You're writing this down. John, comprehension
prevention, comprehensive prevention model. I think we
should write this down. I think when you Why did
she even say that? I feel bad back back. Back it up again. I
want to hear an iPhone.
Yeah. So she is responding given a script. Yeah, the script was
that she got the briefing from the White House. It's the
transcript of what Lisa Monaco said at Harvard. Okay. And so
she's you know, it's like just before the show, here's the
transcript here. The questions you asked, I feel prehensive
prevention model. What does that look like at the federal level,
the state level, local level,
what it what it really means is engaging with community members,
and not just on the security side, whether it's educators,
health professionals, religious leaders as well.
You hear that? Educators health care,
everyone, everyone, the cops are already in on this. So let's
just go Yeah, of course, sharing
best practices,
sharing best practices. Best Well, he's not going to ask the
question
channel's religious leaders as well, I can't get work, sharing
best practices. What do we know what is our expertise taught us
about? how somebody is becomes radicalised? How can we share
those that information so people can understand to see these
warning signs? Is that a law
enforcement response? I mean, the debate we always have when
these things happen is whether it should be a law enforcement
response, whether it's a debate about gun control, or whether it
should be a mental health response or something else like
that. Or is it? Are you talking about a combination of all of
these things?
All of them? Of course, it's leading the witness, or I mean,
or maybe you talking about a combination of all these things,
as I have written right here in front of me, this is despicable
propaganda,
a debate about gun control, or whether it should be a mental
health response or something else like that? Or is it are you
talking about a combination of all these things, all of them,
emphasis on one or the other?
It can't be done in any one silo. It is, in part a law
enforcement response because it's this is a public safety
issue that we're talking about first and foremost. And law
enforcement has a role to play. But so do teachers and so to
parents and families
Yeah, exactly. And let me just show you a little bit of how
this works. So you have to make people feel important in this
police state. When I just got this from the TSA blog. Of
course we had this pre check system pre check is now being
extended to members all members of the US military including
reservists National Guard members as well as Department of
Defence and Coast Guard civilians. to US interests Yeah,
so you of course you get these TSA Pre allows participants to
keep their shoes belt and light jacket on a leave laptops and
311 compliant liquids in their carry on bags when going through
airport security. And you should salute when you when you're when
you're allowed through salute. Hey, hey colleague. Hey, Howdy
partner, you and me we're on the inside. We're getting fucked.
Oh, civilians. I'm sorry. My Tourette's is acting up today. I
should
have to chime in Yeah, so I went out of Oakland to Seattle on an
I always get TSA Pre for some reason. And and I think it's
easy enough to you could you could put it on any boarding
passes a little Jesus says something on the corner.
We know they have a randomizer Did you see this?
I knew about the randomizer but I didn't see it and Mickey and
I walk of course we walk into the premium line with our coach
loser tickets. walk right up to the front. Of course we're not
stupid slaves. And the woman looks at us and then she did the
name. Now you have to say your name. Have you noticed this?
What's your name? Is this new? What's your name? And you get a
John Adam curry what? Now and what's your name? Miriam who can
die crud and then they have the big tablet. And then they swipe
the table open hit a button and then it goes PayPal boo
people people I've seen this you got
an arrow left or an arrow? Big Green Arrow left or big green
arrow right? And so the the the the immigrant with the green
card gets That's Mickey my wife gets to go through pre check. I
get sent around to go through the loser line. That's funny.
People randomise
that didn't have that at either. Anyway, they had an Oakland I
went through pre and it was Like the lines are getting longer
than that way back, I didn't get a pre so I had to go to the
regular lines. And I think they've got a personally I
believe they've got slowed, the pre line was getting bigger.
It's gonna be channels for pre I'm now convinced that they're
going through slow down, which is a technique used by unions
when they're upset with a company. Yeah, just slow down
the regular line. And I was there two hours early because of
the nature of the way I got to the airport. So I didn't care.
And so they slow down the line but and it was going notoriously
slow. And I think is to get because the pre thing you'd have
to sign up for it costs 100. But I think it's just a way to gouge
the paying customers. And once they get too many pre lines,
somebody will get get through it with a bomb or some phoney
thing, they'll set something up. And then oh, we can't have this
anymore. And then they have taken everyone's money. Right?
You know, for this free thing. Yeah. And now so it's, you know,
oh, but
not if you're not if you're a Coast Guard civilian salute on
your way in ready to go.
You should salute each other.
Yeah, no, that's what I'm saying you should do. If I'm gonna, I'm
gonna start doing that to all people in uniform at airports.
I'm just gonna salute them and see if they salute back. I'll
bet you they all do. Some do. And I'm just gonna say soldier,
I got a suit and go. Like, I'm like, I'm sorry. Like, I'm a
five star general. In fact, I'm just good. I'm going to get me
some of those epaulettes and I'm with stars on it.
As you can probably do, you can go so far without before you say
well, I'm at my company. I'm a five star
No, well, I have a pilot shirt with four bars that I'm allowed
to wear that. I'm a pilot. I'm allowed to wear a captain shirt.
And I'm going to wear that through TSA and I'm was salute
everybody. Hey, how you doing? Anyway, so
there's this guy. There's one of these guys yelling and screaming
at everybody coming through the line and it was it was a
magnetometer only they had the other thing out of service. So I
didn't have to deal with that as nice, but they were pushing
everyone through and then they hit if you've got a red X. Red X
give me if you've got a boarding pass with a red X on the guy.
Here's the scene the guys yelling about this red X I never
heard of this. And he is on the other side of the magnetometer
collecting anyone with a red X on their boarding pass. So what
do you think the red X might be for?
You're a terrorist.
Now. The red X allows you to go through the magnetometer with
your shoes on. Oh, but you don't find that out
until you've gone through?
Yeah,
well this like Russia. I don't know any of this. Do they have
one with a yellow star by any chance? This is like Russia.
Like to where
that was like you you can't do this right? If you know about
the red X you to keep your shoes on in the first place. I guess
maybe they tell you this someplace else. And then you
have the you come with your shoes on the guy yells at us, yo
I gotta read Acts, okay? I don't know. Idiotic.
I just, I'm also when I salute them. Like, I'm a Marine. I'm
just gonna, I bet you these people will fall for it. And I
guarantee if I just I'm just gonna do that I'm just gonna
walk to the front of the line. And it was also on our way back
that you could do you can get to the boarding so of course, but
you know, we had upgraded to economy plus which they promptly
screwed up and we were not sitting together and were
anything but economy plus even though we paid for it and then I
didn't want to get just I don't want to get in I'm tired of
fighting with idiots if it's a short flight, so the number
boarding group for and so we're waiting and everyone's going
through and then no one's moving. And so from what we as
presumed as group three and then we walk ahead and this is group
fraud. I'm doing three if you're not if you're group four, I'm
doing thread and this is the boarding agent who also and you
put a uniform on an American I hate to say it you put a uniform
on American and they become an asshole and not necessarily when
they're out there fighting for our freedom or I don't know
protecting the poppies and dying because you've been brainwashed
into that's what you're supposed to do. Now luckily, there's
there's lots of things we can do and there is some there is thank
goodness but we are pushing back a little bit on the hubris on
the hubris of of the police state of America. And I'm really
I you can tell I'm really upset. Now this reminded me how stupid
this is. And this custom thing happened in Texas. I mean, these
guys were these Yahoo's I'm coming for you fat idiot. I I'm
coming for you and to find out who you are. I am I'm going to
make shit about this. So luckily, this happens in New
York.
Presumably it seemed like a good idea at the time, a chance for
law abiding citizens here to demonstrate that they not only
love New York, but its police department as well. The photo
published as a guide presented a tableau of civic harmony with a
smiling citizen embracing two smiling cops. But the social
hashtag, my NYPD quickly turned into a bash tag. Many of the
pictures catalogued incidents of alleged police brutality, an
officer charging a group of protesters, a man being pushed
down on a cop on it by the police. What was intended as a
campaign to show the positive face of the NYPD instead
revealed an ugly aside.
Yeah, I thought this is if you look at Twitter right now this
great,
no, I've been following this is hilarious. And there's a couple
of things that are interesting to me I think we're talking
about one is hubris is the right word. And this is this is very
reminiscent, and you've had this experience where somebody says,
I'm going to hire you guys. And here's what I want you to do. I
want you to make a viral video. And they literally think that
you make a viral video. You don't they don't know that a
video goes viral. You can't make a viral Yeah,
no. In fact, there are RFPs out there in the in the advertising
world for someone to produce a viral video
yeah, there are so they don't understand the basics. And so
the cops are adores was actually you know, it wasn't the cops it
was some idiot in the PR department at the police
department, you know, you know who are city hall? Well, let me
let me this was a great idea because it's social.
But listen, who just went to the New York Police Department? As
as the media guy who knows everything.
Andy Carvin.
Oh, I wish. No, no. John Miller from CBS.
Well, that's right. Chuttan Miller,
I'm dimes $2, which is about all we do these days. I'm going to
say that this was his idea.
Oh, I find that hard to that. He's that stupid. I believe this
was some 20 something out of school. Let me see if I can
dunny that dummy. That was
well someone bought into it. I mean, obviously Bratton or
whoever bought into it. Yeah. Is I mean he if you look at what
the kids are doing, if you're the if you look at the press
conference, he said I I'm you've just been tweeted. It kind of
did like a you know, like, like a parry.
Right. twittered when tweeted on the tweeter?
Do I have that somewhere? Yeah, here this is what Perry said
exactly. Is this guy and you can always follow me on Twitter.
Yeah, tweeter and tweeter. Let me see John Miller
is not the guy who's
you'd Hi, you know, I don't know. And I wouldn't be so naive
to do something like that. This is a dummy that came up with
this idea. Yeah.
Well, somebody had asked
me i countless visualise what the dummy looks like and his or
her which I believe it probably is a woman age because there's a
extreme amount of naivete involved in this Yeah, it
although at the same time, the younger people would be aware of
the craziness that can go on and it might have been just someone
who's new to this it reminds me of a PR woman I know who was
just kind of out she was an executive at these big one of
these big giant agencies. And she graduated when she was
working in a lot of different places. I'm not going to tell
you all because they figure out who it is but then she decided
like just a few years ago to get involved in social
social Yeah, I hear that social thing is it's it's all the rage
and it was just completely she was like she had no clue as to
the nature of this beast. And which reminds me I know you're
not gonna like this but since you're on a rant I think I can
I'm allowed to do this now. I have the just the best part of
the clip.
Hey, why are your clips in uppercase did someone else do
your clips or are you now is it gotten to the you at that age
where you just do everything uppercase.
You know if you look at the Portland see Portland. You can
see where it happened
you're beyond the age of all caps. You're just out of control
now. Yes, put the Portland is the P is not capitalised and the
rest ortlund is capitalised Very good. Is that the clip we're
playing?
No, we're playing the end. except as deep into the into the
whole I'm not playing this whole song.
Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no no no playing. No no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't think I can go on
for a half an hour.
Yes. Okay. All right. All right, let
me preface this properly. So I'm watching episode three of
Silicon Valley.
I was very disappointed by two two was worse than one for me.
Three is worse than two. So it's shit.
No, here's what it is this This clip shows you what the problem
is.
Because it's Silicon Valley is stupid by itself. You can't even
make a parody of it.
You can't make a parody of the idiocy of Silicon Valley. This
was taken from the World Wide social networking conference,
that one of the guys who organised that and it gets his
girlfriend were singing this song and he had to come out
about two thirds of the way through the song and begin a
rap. Which then she finishes up with. But she she reprises the
song at the end and then he goes through at the end, and you
listen to this and you say to yourself, no, I can't parody
this. These people are completely nuts.
I want to say that John and I rarely speak or send mail to
each other. And when we do, it's usually dumb. And of course, I
had already seen this I had not watched the whole thing I had to
turn it off after 30 seconds. And of course you had watched
the whole thing and the rap at the end which we're about to
hear is indeed just glorious.
Hey, now y'all, can we just get real? Do we really care about
our fans? Or is this just another deal another way that we
lost our way socials about the people remember we are people do
we really need another life painters shear to another post
to show up everywhere? I hope as we scattered that we never
forget that I post live forever even when we go to bed
best part is it's catchy. I consent to sing it's like a
Britney Spears social
Yes, everybody brought to you by Mary McCoy. Give it up in the
house. Get yours. Yeah,
well, you were stepping all over. You would have heard that
guy singing in the background. I heard
him No, I
believe ludicrous
mix was perfect.
Believe me anyway you hear that is like that kind of that woman
can't sing on key. He's an idiot.
And he put on a hat and sunglasses a Baray because
that's what all the rappers are wearing. I hear.
Yeah. So he took us comes out at bald guy and he puts on a Baray
and does this horrible. Whatever.
You are right, John, you nailed it. You're absolutely right. The
Silicon Valley. It's not funny because these guys you cannot
parody stupidity by it's already dumb and laugh worthy. Yeah, I
was watching you weren't on it. And so I missed it. Last night,
or yesterday, after dinner before I continued by prepping.
I watched this week in tech, which I hadn't watched because
you weren't on and I'm not gonna watch it on vacation. And this
is woman on? Oh, what's her name? Now? She works for PC
Magazine. Jill Duffy. Did you know what's her last name?
Duffy, Jill Duffy. And at a certain point, she's like, Hey,
what's all this Coachella thing I hear about what is that? Is
that like the new music thing that that the kids are into? I
didn't know that. She's like, get off the show. Lady. With
your red hair. You got like half her hair is red on top and the
back your opposer a woman? What is this Coachella I hear all
that. Is that like, is that like a burning man?
Are you sure that she wasn't just putting No no, no, no, no,
it was
no and of course, if she's a woman that she has a vagina so
all the men on the show like Oh, honey, let me tell you how it
will y'all let me do it because the men on this show are morons.
Hey, not well, you end the show.
Well, you need to get on the show. Even an hour we need some
testosterone. But you know the good kind that put women down in
their place when they're stupid. So she isn't she's not it's
terrible. Cannot was the air I can't help myself today. But
seriously, it's like
I watched a pee a little bit of that couldn't watch much of that
show. But I watched a little bit of her I didn't you heard this
part that would that was embarrassing. But I was
wondering who would coached her because she would look when you
do that show. You're really not you don't spend your time
talking to the camera. It's not a talking to the cameras. Yeah.
Good point.
She keeps looking at the camera. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Good point.
Looking straight into the lens.
Instead of talking to you there, you're on these shows you talk
to the host, the host says something you say Yeah, and you
talk to the person, like a normal person, you know, you
don't say well do and then you turn to the camera, and sort of
giving your your spiel, you don't do that. It looks weird,
you know? But he does it.
So she did that at one point and all that and I am very strange.
I'm a strange man. I'm gonna say it right up front. And of course
I noticed this, you know, I'm a television professional in my
life. And the only thing I can think of is what would it be
like to French kiss her? It's not weird because you know, she
has no lip. She's got a pointy nose and her her her mouth kind
of flows into her chin. I don't know what she's like. I want to
be like to French kiss her. And I was like, then I just weirded
myself out and I had to turn
your head you're weirded out the audience just know. You're
watching somebody ideally talking about Coachella and
you're thinking about kissing or the Coachella thing
made me mad. It just made me it just made me mad. And yeah, just
like people talk about something that that people care about.
Bomb anyway.
I think it's a good moment.
Okay, so I do want to finalise just by saying two things and
then we should thank some of our producers that the you're being
played by this and and this this there's a full of fall fold into
this Bundy Ville thing this this rancher this oh yeah, Bundy. So
this ranch, this is the people you are being played out. And
I'm looking at you Infowars Who are you know, these are agents
of changes are provocateurs to take a very unimportant issue
and turn it into we're going to kick the government's ass. Now,
of course, the United the population of the United States
is armed in order to protect from enemies from outside and
within but you're being set up. That was if I if I've seen
anything, the way that was hyped the way that was reported on,
but particularly the alternative media with very little factual
information that was a setup and you're being set up to pull a
trigger one day and and we're all going to regret this. Now
I'm the first as I look at the video, and I see a bunch of a
whole Federer Ollie's coming in tasing people, of course this is
wrong. If it's no more or less wrong, then well, in fact, let
me just play this little clip. Because I do want to say
something about this that people don't understand. This is Chris
Hayes on MSNBC talking to assemble
a Chris Hayes clip,
while he's talking to Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, who
was she's either in on it or she's being misused. But there's
something she says here that I'd like to point out that you don't
need this Bundy Ville thing to understand what is really has
been going on in the United States for a long time
questioning the
BLM. And I'm also going to request either a resignation or
termination of the person that had ordered this to be done. But
that's a
distinct question. I mean, I understand your point. You think
that the way that the law has been enforced, the BLM has been
heavy handed? That's a distinct question from lines of legal
authority. I'm just asking you a simple yes or no question. Do
you recognise the authority of the federal government?
I recognise the authority that they've they believe that they
have I just question it.
So you do not you agree with Cliven Bundy the federal
government does not have authority over the land
of Nevada? No, Chris don't put words in my mouth. I'm not
saying I agree with Cliven Bundy. What I'm saying is the
way this was handled is really suspicious. When in the heck do
we send our federal government with arms to collect a bill?
Okay, this is what I want to respond to this, whoa, what's
happening in the federal agents of the Internal Revenue Service
came to collect a bill from me with their hands on their
weapons and a place of my work. So if you think this is this is
bad that some Bureau of Land Management Yahoo's were all
hyped up and jacked up with their uniforms on their dogs and
their tasers. You think that's bad, try not paying your taxes.
They came to my office. And this is eight years ago. With their
hands on their gun Once we've been looking for you, where are
you been? Have you ever tried Google? We've been looking for
you. And I'm still, I'm on credit worthy because of that,
even though everything was cleared up eventually, but they
had their hands on their IRS agents, armed IRS agents, yeah,
they come to collect. And just to make it worse, there's now a
bill in Congress. And they're going to try it once again.
Going to the bill would allow the third party commercial
companies to go collect tax money.
Oh, no, they're given that that's what they do with the
parking metres in San Francisco. So if you get and if the metre
is no good, you get a ticket. You there's nothing you can do
about it. And this is what they've done with the prisons,
Corrections Corporation of America, one of the many
operations that have run private prisons and so they can they
have lobbyists to make, make more laws to get those prisons
filled, so they can make more money, that sort of thing. This
privatisation has completely got run amok. And they get away and
why they public doesn't put it say, hey, wait a minute. This is
not some private companies shouldn't be running the
prisons.
Well, these are the people you need to vote out of office. You
need to vote but you will
do it. Oh, there are guys. Okay. Everybody else is bad. But there
are guys okay. This, we're doomed if we don't just vote
everyone out. I'm thinking
Panama. You know, can you have can you have a gun in Panama?
Can you have can you be there? Look it up? I'm going to this is
just not okay.
Ah, any, you know, I had a guy have a virus gig about I think
about two years ago. I got guy good call on the phone. This
silence of the IRS, when you're gonna pay your, you know, 4500
bucks to what? What you are is 4500 bucks where you need
payment immediately. What are you talking about? And he's just
any started to read me the riot act. And I'm saying, I don't
know, you we pay our taxes, I don't know. And a 45. This is an
off beat number that just came out of the blue. Have you ever
talked to us before? We were sending your notice as well. It
goes on and on and on. And so then I just listening to him. I
finally I said I think you got the wrong guy. That's what I
said. And he says no, you're John Dvorak said, Yeah, I'm John
DeVore.
Hold on. I'm John C. capsule, John Locke, Dvorak?
I did. They just said, you said Damn you, John Nevarez. Yeah.
And he says, Yeah, and you live in Kansas City. And I said, Now,
this area of code is not in Kansas City and started getting
snarky, right? What's my social security number? And then he
reads out some eylea. I should have written it down, by the
way. With that, but he gave me some alien social security
number. So that's not me. I said, I gave my number I said
you I don't know what you're why you're calling me this is not
even in Canada. I'm not even in Kansas City. He says, oh, and he
knew who it was. He was. There was a lot of I keep track of all
the John the vortex. Because he's, I think at the beginning,
he says you're a writer, right? But that's the climate guy. No,
no, the climate guys another one that there was a there was a
reporter for The Kansas City Star like literal fashion
reporter named John Dvorak. And there's a meta metallurgist,
there's a bunch of them. And the, for some unknown reason,
and oh, and the guy got backed off in a apologise, which I
thought was nice, at least he did that said, just hang up on
me. But this these, it seems to me that with this, that they
could do, like you said, use Google. Yeah, I mean, how why
were they calling this? Why did they even get this number?
Well, because you know, it's a you're a slave and you need to
report for duty. I am the you know, my problems with I have
the I have the no credit worthiness at all. And that's
because this lien that took place it took me a year to get
rid of it and a lot of money in legal fees. And at the end of
the day, I owe them nothing. I just hadn't filled out the forms
or my, at the time accountant hadn't because you still have to
file if you don't live in America. And then when I start
showing up on payroll at the company in California, that's
when they they said hey, this guy is scamming us. And so you
know, but now if you if you pull my credit report, you'll see
there's an Adam curry in Oklahoma that I think is the guy
that got me barred from entering the country for three years. The
guy was in North Dakota now I think that was Oklahoma. There's
a an Adam curry in upstate New York, there's an Adam curry in
Florida. That guy's a douchebag that guy gets me in a lot of
trouble. He's he do these Skerton on Grant and all kinds
of stuff. And it always shows up. I'm like, I'm lost. I can't.
I'm not I've opted out of the system. I see. I just don't
participate. I'll rent until I'm dead. I won't have the American
dream of owning a home being indebted and enslaved. I'm just
gonna be a renter until I'm dead. had or until I'm sleeping
on the street. And honestly, we're, you know, three shows
away from that. Anyway, I do want to thank you for your
courage Jhansi DeVore I can say in the morning to you, Jay
capslock Dvorak.
Oh, in the morning you Adam curry in the morning all ships
at sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water all

actually in the chat room during our outstanding clip show that
Ramsay put together for us. A clip show three was the title of
it. And I checked in and people it's the only thing wrong.
People were very surprised the clip show started because it was
streamed live as well. It started on time. So people were
people were thrown thrown off by that. Yeah, deal, man.
Podcast comes on time.
And thanks to a comic strip blogger who created a fun piece
of artwork that we use for the album art and always looking
forward to what we can find for our album art. For this episode,
611 had no agenda art generator.com And we have a
combination of donations for today for people who've donated
4610 And of course, this was kind of the Catch Up Show. And
it worked a lot of people went off and I finally caught up and
I had already donated and I was like you know I was caught up
with my episodes and turns out Oh, it was a clip show but they
still liked it.
Yeah, people just like like the show. Yeah. Well it's because
it's valuable even though with the rants and the rest although
I love the I love your rants I would do your TSA material is
timeless. It's beautiful. That's the sad part. Because Mickey's
with a green card complicates things in ways that no other
person can possibly relate to.
And luckily you know Mickey the and you know you can just see
her freaking out you can just see her being getting ready to
slug some guy
ya know and she could knock someone on their ass
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. With a with a kick to the head
elsewhere Okay, well we do have some people to thank for show
610 and 611 and they will be given double producers credit
they'll be given credit for both shows.
So I'm going back and putting No no no no. On this show
you're gonna put executive producer for shows 610 slash
six.
But I don't mind it's easy for me to go back and also
we can't separate them out let's just put okay. And I promised
them all double credits in the newsletter if you read the
newsletter, I added a you didn't read it.
Did you? Did you get the other sad picture we sent
it out you know I was gonna use that picture. And then
Mickey was disappointed she she thought that was well worth it.
It was
a good picture. I'll put it in the next newsletter just to show
but because it was well, well done, but it's still too sunny.
But it was that was literally next to our room. What a vending
machine that was not a vending machine.
What was it? Generating Oreos?
I'm eating an Oreo in ruins in a ruin like in a doorway that it
was in ruins. Oh, was the Oreos was not that was the problem.
No, it wasn't a no no, it was still I don't know. I haven't
looked at it again. And we'll see. Now it's
just as addictive as cocaine and it's Oreos, man. All right, well
joke in there. I didn't get it. Okay. Anyway, let's thank a few
people. We got too many. Too many. We don't have never have
too many to thank. But we have a lot to be fooling around. Arthur
Kessler in Logan, Utah came in with $1,000 in E check which
took forever to cash. And but he and he had no real comments to
make or give him a night instant night. No alcohol and keep on
revealing all things is all he says. Okay, well, thank you,
Arthur. And pretty short notice as Nate gated by Michael Leary
and asked question,
question question. If you do an E check, does someone get a VIG?
Or is that do we get all the money?
No, it's the same. It's as though they just went straight
in. It's far as I can tell. Okay, good. I don't know 750. I
have to look into this. I just don't know. So we pay a lot of
money and fees to pay. Checks are well worth getting seven or
$51 from Michael Leary in Norway. I'm donating some five

the drunk donation to the no agenda show well not really but
I'm fucking wasted I'm at Kettering University Kettering
is a slave training school. We have co ops that really
companies like GM some other bullshit and Beaumont Health
System we work for three months then we go to school for three
months, and we do 16 To 20 credit, how many hours per
semester this is compared to as a usual school which does 12
credit hours. A lot of people are balding the school because
the stress, we get stem whoop the ass in my T department and
the CS department. They as in the student body dislike the
arts and would like less because we have to take liberals. My
econ professor is an African tribes man and he is badass. Oh,
gotta go love Nick. Perfect, Nick. Thank you.
That was interesting. I don't have anything from him. At least
not with that email address. And Riley Kimball in San Tan Valley,
Arizona. 33333. I have a note from Riley. I believe this is
it. Was it? Yeah. I mean, she doesn't say well, it's too late.
No. Anyway. 73 is ITM and thank you for your courage. I'm
donated after listening to John's rant on why the NA show
is important. And why I need to do my part show 608 After the
second donation segment. I'm really I think it's because we
had a bad day. I'm really not sure what I would do if the NA
show went away. There was too much nonsense out there in the
news. It's almost impossible to get things straight or figured
out what is really important you guys flat out or flat out
amazing. And you make it look easy when it really is not. I'm
choosing to donate today due to the extreme value I received
from listening to your show. Wow, thank you. I have found a
certain peace of mind after listening to the NA show. And
it's high time that I donate it to your value for value model. I
have recently found gainful employment. I'd like to share my
newfound wealth with you too. Nice. Please give me a D
douching. If I fit that criteria. I would also like to
call out Brandon merch or mense me and see Brandon Februaryat
merch. Brandon mense who was a founding producer but has
transitioned into a douche bag. Douche bag is CTO of a media
tech company so we all know you can afford to donate. He hit me
in the mouth about a year ago and I have been an avid listener
ever since we both continued to propagate the forum vote for as
a for now I knew only one donating and will be donating
more to achieve knighthood may please have to do the head.
George Clooney is a spy WT seven. Shut up slave and karma.
It would be an honour of John would solo over these clips with
his harmonica
to the head George Clooney is a spy WPC seven and then shut up
slave and karma. Okay, George Clooney is a spy
think we nailed it? Ah, excellent job, John. You've got
talent.
He also sent a picture. And he says this is on every phone at
my work. And it says it's a sticker on every phone it says
in case of emergency. Dial three, three.
Really? Wow. That's pretty. That's a magic number.
Wow. All right. Anonymous from Aurora Colorado, sent in and a
note 33333 which I will have to read.
I was at the movie theatre.
Sorry, bad joke. Yeah, yes, in the same area. This is the
fourth time I've contributed monetarily to the show. I'm
still hesitant and unwilling to allow my identity to be revealed
on the show. Okay. So please keep my name anonymous on the
show. I get the feeling that the two of you tire of this
insistence not at all, but that conservatives in HR and security
always frown upon my involvement in any public endeavour. No,
we're fine with that. It's cool as I have had to report all
contact with foreign nationals, or CCI work. It's an Aurora and
Keep it I think he's FBI or something and they keep a very
close watch on my website and probably all my social media for
now. pronouncements I would probably blowing they probably
blow a gasket if my name was included in the rose as if they
listen to your controversial show. It's not controversial
controversial. No, we're not a controversial show. We do news
deconstruction is pretty straightforward.
So if someone sent me this if you want to send us encrypted
email there's an open source project called mail WW. elope.
And it is a plugin for your browser and have it for Chrome.
But luckily they have for Firefox. And it'll work with
Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and some other it's basically everything
right in the browser. And it I have to say, it's the first
programme I've seen that makes encryption easier.
A lot. Well, you gotta put that in the show notes mail.
WW elope.com. bubble mailer, and
let me let me finish his he's good. It's a good note. So I'm
gonna read it. I believe in America. I believe in the
Constitution. I believe in democracy for the people. In
short, I'm another fan who works for the three letter agency
where suspicion favouritism and retribution rule the day. Wow. I
know that the two of you aren't subversive or politically
revolutionary, that's for sure. What are we? We're not We're not
subversive or politically revolutionary. I think the show
is subversive because it
reveals some terms of Mersive maybe I don't know about
submerge.
If I thought you weren't actual patriots. I had a digital show
long ago. I would like to thank you once again for providing the
shittest guns with a modicum of truth. A dose of the no agenda
point of view your unfiltered examination of socio political
memes political shenanigans, and corporate doublespeak is top
notch. It is unique in today's slurry of shills, blowhards and
stooges
and the only reason why is because of you. Not you, John,
but because of you. If we did this any other way than having
people support us directly? We wouldn't work. I woke up this
morning I heard NPR it's one thing to say. This programme is
brought to you by the General Motors Corporation but when they
actually say brought to you by the new Chevy whatever brand
goTenna bravado trust test drive one today that's an
advertisement.
That's and then they gouge the public too. They're double
dipping, actually triple dipping because they go after
advertisers whatever you want to call it. They go after
advertised to go after institutions of charitable
institutions, foundations and then and then the double dipping
and then they go for to the public
bag and coffee mug and beer stein people.
The news in America is suffering a total sellout the mainstream
outlets of lies and propaganda are clearly biassed in so many
ways. If not for your twice weekly dose of reality. I'd find
myself caught up in the fear mongering this pseudo
scientific, scientific, technobabble and the formal
corporate illusion that so many citizens take for reality. So
here I am donating again. As I have said before, you must
continue your work it is vital to our national nation's
interests. And the American people deserve your third tier

And that include that includes the executive producers
Associate Executive Producer and remind people to do another show
on Sunday we have to try to catch up even though this for
two shows actually is what so long, and
divorced.org/nhl.org.com/na the no agenda show.com And no agenda
nation.com both have donate buttons you can click on those
as you pass through
and remember again, the only reason why we can bring you such
outstanding informative information gathering bringing
reporting broad broadcast donations is because you are
supporting us this isn't this is it's a very simple model.
Before we go to the all the little stuff you're gonna go off
to I want to I think that reminder needs to be pounded
home and I've gotten an example. I had a last I'm doing this
every few shows I'm doing a retrospective of old clips from
years ago. Here's where we this is over a year old. This is a
clip. This clip you can cue it up as Taco Bell got it? This is
when we first discovered native advertising before I think it
was even coined and we would start to spot it coming out a we
saw it on the five, the fox show where they're all right. Yeah,
this is
ABC News, world news or just News,
ABC World News.
Drive down any major thoroughfare in America and
won't be long before you spot a Taco Bell. The fast food mega
franchise known for its iconic talking to our commercials, and
forays into dishes as daring as they are delectable in a country
fueled by fast food reimagination of classic cuisine
ABCs John Shifen gets a firsthand look at an American
company causing quite a stir
they could be screaming for boyband, but instead they're
screaming for a whole thing's a taco. Oh, yeah. And I remember
we did a little back and forth about this. That this was
probably because either there was a mate good that someone had
screwed something up in sales or ad sales, programming rotation
or They had just done a huge buy. And this was more likely
and this is part of it. Yeah. Yeah. A, hey, it's John down
here in sales. Listen, we've got a 5 million like, fuck can you
count this five with six here we got a $5 million buy from the
Taco Bell. You know, that's the Pepsi Corporation. They have
other brands as well. This is Taco Bell, we really, really,
really would appreciate it. If you could like kick off the the
the sweep that they bought with little item about their new taco
and how, you know, we can actually turn it into a human
interest story because we've we've got this stock footage I
sent over of girls going crazy, just like it's New Kids on the
Block, you remember them? That's how hip we are here in the ad
sales department.
I remember having this discussion if we did do a skit
on, I am now more inclined to believe that this was a straight
out native advertising buy, as opposed to a combination. Do you
don't
think it was just an add on? Or you just think? No, I
think this is a straight up early version of native
advertising done straight up without any because I didn't see
a lot of Taco Bell advertising on ABC necessarily, but I saw
this. And this is only part one of it. This is about a four
minute piece may have been on Nightline, but it was it was on
ABC, whatever. And so I'm changing my my opinion of what
this was and how it came about. All right, knowing what I know
now,
but regardless, we don't do that. And quite honestly, we
wouldn't we wouldn't last a week. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Let me
just. Yeah, hello. Yeah. Adam, it's, it's you said the F word a
couple times. Yeah, no Taco Bell is pulling out, man. That's not
to how they want to address their demographic. I, by the
way, John, before I end this all up, please. It I don't care what
you do with your filters on your email. But But I have two things
to say. One is no agenda at divorce. act.org is broken. Jay
C. Dvorak at divorce. act.org is broken. No. Well, then you've
unbroken them.
Now, let me explain what happened. Wait.
And if you I don't care what kind of filters you put on your
system. But if if the word fu CK is not isn't you know, is
flagged by your email system as porn, then don't email me with
that word in it, because when I reply to you, then it gets
trapped.
Yeah, well, I don't think that should happen. But the other
thing kidding. Here's what's happened. Now I've talked to
Mark about this, who's nice sysop. And he says that there's
been something fishy going on with my aliases. Yeah, the alias
file gets erased.
Yeah, that's exactly what happened. Your alias so the
alias file
was gone. So you could only get a hold of me at John at divorce.
Because that's the main, that's the real email. And then he put
it back and then it got erased. Again, he put it back. So you
think is maybe I should change my password or something because
I could go in. And he says, he says does not have the earmarks
of a hacker. And so what he's done is he's written a script.
So now when it gets a race, it gets put back in and he thinks
he might be able to figure out what's happened. That's the
way to do it. Let's not solve the problem. Just write a script
that replaces that every time. But it was funny because one of
our producers sent in an email about Dr. Oz. And how the
producer from Dr. Oz had called a girlfriend of his and was
trying to convince her to go on the show and say that she had
gotten her nipples sunburned, even though she had gotten them
sunburned in a tanning booth, but they wanted to say that it
was outside and she wouldn't do it. So we sent this email and it
got sent back because the word nipples is here it says message
contains blacklisted porn string 550
Nipples out turn that off. I that was just when I was at
polls realise ridiculous. Yes, nipples. Yeah, because nipples
is not necessarily it's got nothing to do with porn ever.
Oh. So I want to who made that out of interest? Who who what
brilliant programmer made this believe this
is either put out either marks. He has some little programme
he's running or it's part of squirrel mails, the anti spam
filters. I'm not sure I'll find out.
It's ridiculous. Yeah. All right. Anyway, thank you all
very much. vorak.org/and. And of course we need to continue going
out and doing the important work of propagating the formula
formula is this. We go out. We get people in the mouth.
Well, well, well. I'm Glenn Greenwald. isn't America?
Yeah, I know. Free to come in. Go ahead.
He's so proud and happy of himself. He's so proud of him.
He's won a Pulitzer Prize and a poke and He's happy. He's happy.
Well, that's it. Glenn gangrene. Well, that's it. That's your
payoff boy. Now, the way I understand his stance,
the share of the Pulitzer, yeah, he shares it with the guardian.
He's part of the team. And
the team polish. The latest thing they've been doing Team
Thank you. They get all these journalists mark off a friend of
mine at the times he's he's got when he was at Infowars. I was
the editor and I promised that he would get a Pulitzer. So he
got one, but he got it as part of a team and I just think that
cheapens and
do you then have to send an extra $100 To get your own copy
of the trophy?
I have no idea probably probably. Right. Yeah, that's
the way it usually works. Right.
So he's know if
it's a trophy. Is it a trophy? Or just a certificate? Or what
is it a seat? I'm gonna look it up. Oh, I'm
sure I'm sure. I'm sure there's some kind of plaque or something
to be a
nice plaque. Here it is. It's bullet your trophy. It's a it's
a bunch of different ones. It's a very weird looking thing.
Well, people can look it up on their
tears. I got news for you, John. We're never gonna get one.
No, not gonna have possible. Anyway. So
you know. So they came in and Laura Poitras, she's in because
she's getting ready to do the snow job movie, which he's doing
for school over there, the inconvenient truth guy. And
there's a lot a lot of interesting things going on at
the same time. And I want to move over to Ed Snowden and, and
our, our buddy over there. What's his name? That's him. But
first, Greg Greenwald. Now it was my understanding that Edward
Snowden had specifically chosen Laura Poitras, Barton Gellman
gangrene route on RAF. Because it was the way he wanted the
information presented to be presented through mainstream
publications and specifically not the New York Times, because
they weren't trustworthy or whatever. I believe that this
information belongs to us to everybody. I'm okay. I go back
and forth, cuz I really have no idea what it is. So, you know, a
huge document dump probably wouldn't be productive. I liked
the idea that it's being vetted. I don't like necessarily people
who are vetting it. And I don't like the timeline of how they're
doing this. And when I heard this little interview with
Glenn, I had to cut out the gloating part about how Oh, and
his phone started ringing and buzzing and what a surprise. I'm
Oh, Rhett. I left that out. Because it just makes me throw
up in my mouth.
But that time, put a time mark down.
Yes, sir. Okay, and where do you want me? Where's my pen? All
right. When I heard this, I'm upset at what's going on. And I
think that he is an aihole. And I believe you have a book coming
out very soon it coming out in May. Right. I do. So that's one
of the reasons why I intend to come back to the US a lot. The I
think the material in the book, which includes a lot of new
stories from the Snowden archive has a lot of impact for the
United States and I want to be able to come back and talk to
the people most affected by that story, which are Americans and
so that's
so I thought I thought the book was mostly going to be about the
reporting so far, but you're saying it's also going to have
new information from the data
there are stories that I felt from the beginning really needed
the length of the book to be able to report and do justice to
so there's new documents there's new revelations in the book that
I think will help inform the debate even further This to me
is disgusting. You're telling me that you have held things back
so that you can enrich and and insane yourself with new
revelations that are important to the American people. That's
not okay. Is what he said is there some journalistic thing
I'm missing? This doesn't seem okay to me.
It's an interesting ethical situation that you bring up I'm
trying to decide what I would I would do that too. But you know,
that's me.
He's this is going to be a huge best selling book. And maybe
he's been Mr. All we're all about, you know, we can do it.
document dump because this is what my source wanted. Did your
source want you to write a book and keep some of that for
yourself? Gren? Is that what your source wanted? I find that
hard to believe.
Yeah, the problem I have with it, I suppose, is kind of what
you're skirting, which is is not his information. I mean, it was
really the reporter here is Snowden in some funny way, but
in modern parlance, the way we think of bloggers and everybody
else's journalists, Snowden is actually a journalist, because
he unearthed a bunch of things in his research. He's the one
who dug this stuff up yes, he what he didn't do was revealed
what he didn't do was write it up as articles
and didn't you know, check with the State Department and CIA and
journalists shouldn't do anyway but the NSA well, they this is
admitted this is what they do. No, they do that
because they otherwise thought no, no, they would get fired,
which is another reason that people should continue to
support our show, because nobody can fire us. I mean, yeah, the
government guys here it's easy. Bucha so are you are you worried
at the government why no the government listens to the show
they enjoyed it. No agenda show.
They do they don't support this. They don't support us, but they
do this guy this guy in in Aurora whose government the
government itself doesn't support us? Of course not.
Anyway, so I have mixed feelings about it. I think you're right I
think I'm not gonna say you're wrong in the way you feel about
this. Well, I have a maybe Greenwald's not not full of it.
Maybe. But I doubt it. But it's possible that what he says is
true, which is there's a couple of things like Mike met Matt
Taibbi and I have a clip from him later who knees up book
Toots for some of these these outrageous situations that are
complex. Maybe he's right he can't do it in a 2500 word
article well
I met he has a page and that TVs articles are extremely long.
Right and very well researched and very and I love reading
them. Yeah, no, I'm sorry. I loved reading them because of
course he is now also been put into the the sinkhole known as
the peer drive, drive my car system. Intercept. Intercept is
a good name because they intercept all good information,
suck it down into into a black hole of sorry,
there anything new on the intercept? Oh,
there's nothing there's not a single thing. Nothing new posted
since Easter.
Since that guy said they weren't going to post anything because
for what was his lame reason. Again, we had a clip from him.
No, we didn't have a clip I read. I read a bit of what he
posted note. He said, you know we we don't have time we were
setting stuff up.
Take that long to set stuff up. to intercept out what? Not calm?
It's
no, it's I don't know. It's the first it's under
some mail. So you gotta keep talking. I'm sorry. Now,
I had a thought though. Me and you're sitting on the beach.
You're thinking about stuff. And I was thinking about about
Snowden calling into Putin's little TV show.
Right? Which was funny if nothing else,
and well this I read all this caused quite a bit of a stir.
Let me stop you. The Cuban Twitter scam. The April 4 is the
last thing they printed on this intercept with all these hot
shots. Yeah, still something wrong with 24th. We had 20 days
with not one thing published. Oh,
what is wrong with my microphone? I'm sorry. I don't
know. What was wrong in my mind. All right. So far. No, it's not
fine. Yeah, so that's that's the last thing it's it's dead. I
think what I think payroll isn't going through here there's my
check. Where's where's Who's the other Jay Rosen? Didn't he join
that thing?
Yeah, he's not listed. He said he
Yeah, he's he's an advisor. We've got all these balls, these
hot shots, where I don't know where they are. I'm sorry. I
don't know what's going on. I would have to say something
fishy. But okay. So, so Snowden he calls in and this. There's a
lot of people who of course, the people who already thought he
was an agent for for the Russians at all. See, there you
go. Oh, his lawyer. I mean, everyone was all of his advisors
are dumbfounded by this and quite honestly. He's a
whistleblower. You could call him a journalist, but he's a
whistleblower. He has no business questioning Vladimir
Putin. He's got no documents on Putin. Who does he think he is?
I think this is it could be hubris. I'm Ed Snowden.
Everyone's getting awards and I'm here bull crap. I'm gonna
call into the show and stir something up and ask. I'm gonna
speak truth to power or something. I don't know. Maybe
it was that, however. Here's what happened and I just want to
take it for what and he even wrote a he wrote an op ed in the
in the guardian. Did you read this thing?
Got me on that?
Oh, yeah, no, he had to because everyone was freaking out. Let
me see if I have it here. On Thursday, I questioned Russia's
involvement in mass surveillance on live television. Which by the
way, is a lie. It was a pre recorded bit, it was not a lie
that this is the I don't think a lot of people actually went and
took the trouble to look at it. If you look at the video, you
know anything about television, this was a pre recorded bit. It
was set up perfectly by the host that was rolled in, and then
they freeze framed him on the screen. Well, the Putin answered
the question. It was not live, not live it was just not live. I
asked Russia's President Vladimir Putin the question that
cannot credibly be answered in the negative by any leader who
runs a modern intrusive surveillance programme. Does
filling your country here, intercept, analyse or store
millions of individual communications. I went on to
challenge whether even if such a mass surveillance programme were
effectively and technically illegal, it could ever be
morally justified. The question was attended to mirror the now
infamous exchange in the US Senate Intelligence Committee
hearings between Senator Ron Wyden and the Director of
National Intelligence James Clapper, about whether the NSA
collected records on millions of Americans and to invite either
an important concession or a clear evasion. So this is how
he's explaining what he did. With clappers lie. I'm dropping
a piece here, I was surprised that people who witnessed me
risk my life to expose the surveillance practices of my own
country could not believe that I might also criticise the
surveillance policies of Russia, a country to which I have sworn
no allegiance without ulterior motive. I regret that my
question could be misinterpreted, and that it
enabled me to ignore the substance of the question, and
Putin's evasive response. Now, let me tell you what I'm
thinking happened here. And just just bear with me, because if
you look at it the way I look at it, it's very possible. So what
is Vladimir Putin answer? He says, first of all, he says, as
a spy, let me talk to you as a man in the spy business. I'm
paraphrasing. That's kind of what he said. Correct? Yeah. And
then he said at the end, we don't have the money that the
NSA has. Correct. All right. Yeah. How about this?
When we listened to it, we interpreted it as if we could,
we would?
Well, I was thinking about it. I'm sitting there on the beach.
And I'm thinking first of all, do you recall the open mic gaff,
the open mic gaff when President Obama leaned over to Dmitry
Medvedev and said, Yeah, you tell Putin this, that I'll have
more flexibility after I'm reelected. You recall this open
mic?
Yeah. Well, there was a lot over my gifts. That was one of men.
Well, that was a good one.
Now, what if? What if now, the White House, the Obama
administration, their allegiance, their guys are the
CIA. They decided then they kill people. They kill people with
drones, wet work. They've got secret budgets. And the CIA, as
we know, is very pissed off about the billions and billions
of dollars. The NSA has those bunch of techno weenie nerds,
we've got all that money, and they've got the goods on
everybody because they're spying on everybody. And we've got to
stop them in their tracks. We've always held a certain belief
that this can be the Snowden affair can be a CIA vs. NSA
feud.
It's an NSA thesis.
What if Vladimir Putin, as he says himself is an agent, but a
CIA agent? Who Bear Bear with me, Putin? Yeah. Because he
says, Hey, Snowden as a fellow CIA agent. We don't have the
money those NSA guys got. I'm curious to see if this response
from Putin comes back into the money angle against the NSA. And
you've got to wonder in general, who Putin is really working for.
I find it hard to believe that this guy is the crazy all about
Russia, that he's being
portrayed as wish there was still a Soviet Union.
In fact, let me grab real quick. Let me grab. Where is he Rogers?
Rogers on random dog Mike. Yeah, he was. That'll be his DJ name,
I guess. Hmm. Okay, so CNN is is going crazy about about Ukraine
now. And now that the plane thing is really really getting
old. Here is Mike Rogers, who really just wants war with
Russia and I don't think it's it's not real it's Ayesha
isolationism. And and I think the White House is not actually
saying isolationism, which which means Cold War. But this Mike
Rogers, he's representative and we can't vote him out because
he's leaving. But don't listen to his radio show. Mike Rogers
is the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. He's
joining us now good idea to have these exercises as they're
called in Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, all NATO
allies.
Now this is, of course we not actually I should play this, the
little CNN hype. wrong order. It's a scene reminiscent of the
Cold War, US troops landing in Eastern Europe to counter the
threat with a marching band and Russian. These paratroopers from
the 170/3 airborne to the first of 600 soldiers to deploy for
exercises in Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, all NATO
allies, all nervous about where Russia could strike nervous this
striking. And it could be here 10s of 1000s of Russian troops
conducting their own exercises today, just across the border
from eastern Ukraine, which is not a NATO country. But okay.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov appeared to lay the
rhetorical groundwork for Russia to invade, saying Russian
citizens in Ukraine are under threat.
I don't see any other way but to respond in full accordance with
international law. Russian citizens being attacked is an
attack against the Russian Federation.
Okay, so I'm just gonna say this is all these guys are working
together. John, this is a big play. Everyone is now saying,
Oh, this is just like Georgia, just like Georgia. And I'd like
to remind anyone who forgot even though the narrative is Russia
attacked Georgia. No, no, no. It is, in fact very much the same,
where Georgia encroached on south of Cydia. They started
firing and Russia then protected its citizens. This is data has
been admitted it is in the history books this way. But the
narrative is a Russia attack Georgia. Now let's go back to
douchebag. Roger,
it's a great idea. You had great idea need to reassure our allies
that we will be there we're not walking away from our NATO
commitments. Do I think it should be more robust? I do. Do
we think we could do larger exercises NATO exercises US led
NATO exercises in a place like Poland? I do. But this is a very
good start and a very good sign to let Putin know that we won't
tolerate the United States won't tolerate any incursion into NATO
states and then also think and hope that we can get to a better
position a US position in Ukraine but Putin knows that an
attack on a NATO ally whether Poland or these Baltic States
that's an attack on all NATO Allies given article five of
NATO he's not going to be that reckless This is beautiful this
is so stop
once again just something you don't think we've pointed it out
to mean that I just noticed it but we've heard it over and over
and over again. Is this the attack on one country Article
Five Article Five and they go on and this has been demeaned they
have made I don't remember a year ago anybody bringing this
up and again commenting attack on one country is attack on all
countries. Have you isn't this new? The heartbeat I'm talking
about the heartbeat Oh no.
Oh no, no, this this is the meme this this is the entire idea. Is
is this article five NATO NATO Article Five attack on one is
its New World Order speakers. What is it's completely it's
theatre. And I'm pretty sure Putin is in on it. But it's
theatre to meld your mind into this. And, and this by the way.
Are we seriously going to sit here? And a lot? Well, I know
the answer, but I am not going to sit here and allow the media
and the government and the military and whoever else is
involved in this theatre to hoax us into this again. I'm tired of
Cold War lies and bullcrap. I'm tired of attacking countries and
war. I'm tired of it. I'm tired like a rock. You know? And we're
so easy to say, well, it was just like a rock. There's no
constant who went to jail for that. Did anyone go to jail for
lying and get us into a rock? No. 1000s hundreds of 1000s of
people have died. I'm tired of your little theatre, turn off
your television people. This is bull.
Again, we're not dealing with somebody who has the same
rational thought process. Oh, he's
not rational. No, this crazy is a craziness
that we may have thought even two years ago,
become crazy must be the weed decisions
based on what he thinks the position of both NATO and the US
are. And currently, he is not certain that that will invoke a
NATO response. We are having a hard time getting our European
allies even centred around sanctions on what his actions in
Ukraine.
No kidding. No one in Europe wants the sanctions Mike Rogers,
because they like they like heat. They like gas to cook on.
They like trade. They like selling things. This. This is
very important. The only thing Europe is going to get Germany
is in they're trying to steal the mining industry from East
Ukraine. Oh, that's happening. But no one really wants this
Mike Rogers except you you more Wong. warmongering, douchebag.
He's here just taken.
In Georgia. They've walked away from the NATO talks with Georgia
because of the Russian invasion in South Ossetia.
Oh, well, hold on a second. I'm sorry. That's incorrect. And of
course, you'd expect the broth to say, Well, no, that's not
exactly correct. That's not the way it happened. Georgia
encroach on South the city and the Russians retaliated. That's
fact and that has been admitted by the government. It's just
that's not the story. You're telling Mike Rogers Wait, you
are the government you'd lying sack of crap. And
NATO talks with Georgia because of the Russian invasion in South
Ossetia. In Georgia. That was back in 2000. Back in 2000. That
was back in 2000. Thanks, both great journalistic move.
And they said they wouldn't be there long. They've built full
time basis for their FSB officers along the borders big
and I actually have been on the border and seeing these sites.
They have schools, they have playgrounds, sending
the drone sending a drone. Let's kill some kids Rodgers.
These are not temporary facilities. They're there for
good. And so I think all the indicators lead Putin to believe
he can be more bold, he can be more aggressive. There's just
not a lot that NATO and the US can do
until he moves until he strikes until he attacks now the problem
is so we had to John O Brennan, a go into Kyiv. And of course,
he was supposed to be there undercover. And he got found out
he got busted like oh crap, what are we going to do? Well do
different there's normal normal course of business. That's why
he was out there know what he said is get the tanks rolling.
You've got to in in eastern Ukraine. Donetsk, you have to
provoke Putin and get him you know, let's let's start this. We
got to get this thing going. already. We got the more the war
machine is good to go. The BBC I did find a report that that gave
us the actual the facts of what happened. So we had yets the
prime minister that today it looks like a bass player from a
bad 70s Disco band doesn't he? Is this. It doesn't look like a
it does not very Prime Minister presidential li like, like a
bass guy. And nothing is bass players. But and so
it's free.com Yeah, so
he said, the tank,
the tank. The international deal to calm tensions in Ukraine,
backed by Russia and the West seems in danger of collapse.
Ukraine's acting president has ordered the relaunch of military
operations against pro Russian militants. That's after two men,
one a local politician were found dead in the east of the
country. In a separate development, the US is sending
600 military personnel to Poland and three Baltic states for what
are officially labelled NATO exercises. Well, the BBC has
Natalia and tilava is in the Daniela mining region in eastern
Ukraine. And I asked her about the mood that after the
announcement that the military campaign against the protesters
was going to resume
their moods, I think would be best described as sort of
anxious nervous, everybody in waiting what the second part of
the Anti Terrorist Operation by the Ukrainian forces will
entail. The first part that took place before Easter wasn't
terribly successful. We saw Ukrainian tanks rolling, and
very quickly some of them surrendered their habit, their
armed vehicles and in some cases, weapons third pro Russian
demonstrators. So it was a very humiliating experience for the
Ukrainian army. I'm sure the government in Kyiv will be
trying to make sure it doesn't happen again.
I didn't hear broth mentioned that that the Kyiv army
basically went oh crap, I'm not going to shoot. You here take my
tank. They did. It's like just lay down arms, like we're not
going to do that. So that's why now we have NATO flexing its
muscle in all of these NATO states and making a lot of
noise, because they couldn't get any fireworks to go. And I say
send in Joe Biden sending crazy old Joe, surely the given this,
tell them to say this,
no nation has the right to simply grab land from another
nation. No nation has that right. And we will never
recognise Russia's illegal occupation of Crimea, and
neither will the world.
Yeah, thanks, Joe. So he does, he does that at the Ukrainian
parliament. And now we have the Geneva agreement. This is the
17th of April Geneva Agreement, the document that calls for
reciprocal actions to stabilise Ukraine. Now there's
disagreement between watermelon head Kerry and the Man with the
Golden Gun lover off about this agreement. Because what was
supposed to happen is both sides that would be the United States
and Russia were supposed to and or Ukraine has called Ukraine,
the US to disarm the ultra nationalists. And this didn't
happen in Kyiv or Kyiv. The right wing party what is their
name? Yes, the right party. The they're still occupying
buildings, and they're still in Kyiv. And they're still
essentially, Ukraine and EU and US didn't keep up their end of
the bargain. Um, so so this is falling apart. And Carrey, is
he's such a moron. He's trying to do anything he can to keep
this going. Of course, you know, this is what the Neo cons want
this. The same people who took us into Iraq. That's the same
people I can I can say it has met as often as you want. And he
does a speech with no chin monster Cathy Ashton, the high
representative of the EU, who by the way, I found out she had to
do her confirmation hearing twice because they didn't like
it the first time. Did you know that? No. Yes. Good. Is such a
moron. She's dumb. She's dumb is wood, the wood that Karis head
is made of? And he's answering some questions. And of course,
this is really only about one thing. How the IMF or the troika
of the IMF the the European Central Bank going into rape
this country. Uh, you watch the German steel industry will get
done asks they will get the mining the mining part. They
want the pipelines, it's the land. And you know, now the IMF
is looking at $27 billion of which 15 needs to go to Russia.
For backpay. In Russia actually this before the my dad Euro my
den, Russia offered a bailout of that $15 billion of the money
owed for back pay and gas and and now this that was what was
essentially rejected by the agreement between Ukraine and
the EU after the porch. And so now yeah, now Putin's lob Rafi
like, Whoa, yeah, we're not we're gonna pay us. And finally,
did Russia make any commitment on you? This is the q&a section
of the carry speech cranes debt. And the gas payments it says are
overdue.
The answers are no no commitments with respect to the
debt, no commitments with respect to the gas payments
overdue but a commitment to engage in a dialogue that lady
asked and just described, which will begin to tackle the whole
question of energy.
Yeah. In other words, no, no, not at all. We did? No, of
course not. And now the poor citizens of the Ukraine will now
be paying double for their energy. Now, this one Jen Psaki
was here at this I watched the whole thing was that this little
speech, Catherine actually has no business doing public
speaking anyway. And they so you know how it's all scripted, The
Washington Post and AP and everybody and by the way, is the
beautiful girl from the Washington Post who asked
questions. We are seeing this girl from Washington Post. She's
like a typical girlfriend,
Washington. I
forget her name. It's a I wrote it's in the show notes
somewhere. They're all they're all in Ukraine. All the
beautiful people are there. And but they let it get away with
the British guy from the British CNBC. I don't think this
question was scripted, and it kind of ends the news
conference. Thank you, Steve. So
joke, CNBC. I'm amazed up until the last answer Secretary State
and Baroness Ashton that we haven't heard the word Crimea at
all. Well, today, what can I confirm now that the West and
Ukraine have given up on Crimea and that the whole sanction
process and escalation of sanctions or de escalation of
sanctions has now got nothing to do with Crimea anymore? It's all
about the south and the east of remaining Ukrainian territory.
i This is the guy who deserves a Polk award. That's like, that's
a very good question. You didn't mention Crimea at all in 40
minutes of babbling, huh.
No, you cannot confirm that. And I'm amazed that you asked that
question. I just gave a question you really felt you have to ask.
And despite my prior answer, you asked it anyway.
Yeah, of course. Shut up slave went off script. Go asks the
question. I'm amazed you asked this idiotic question that was
not in the script. Anybody else?
Jim Saki, you sleeping in the tent tonight?
differed on Crimea. And I said it was illegal. And I said we
disagree with the basis on the constitution of Ukraine as well
as an international law just set it.
I just said no, he didn't, by the way addition to that.
The fact is that we just sanctioned them two days ago, I
believe, the issue of Crimea. So, the fact is that we have
made it crystal clear that there is a significant difference over
Crimea. We are not given up. today. We didn't come here to
talk about Crimea.
Now. We came here to talk about Jews all
expressions of extremism, racism, and religious
intolerance, including anti semitism. Let me say a quick
word about that.
This is the letter. This is the pamphlet that was handed out to
do which has now been internationally recognised by
Haaretz newspaper by think progress by Les Leslie Weiss is
a hoax as a fake John Kerry is a is saying this,
just in the last couple of days, notices were sent to Jews, Jews,
one city Jews, indicating that they had to identify themselves
as Jews, Jews. And obviously, the accompanying threat implied
is or threaten, suffered the consequences, or the other in
the year 2014. After all of the miles travelled and all of the
journey of history this is not just intolerable. It's
grotesque. Grotesque is just beyond unacceptable
stop him I can't stand listen to this guy for too long so
so now of course, what he's this this note? This backfires on him
because the whole this was the whole idea is to say, Oh, yes,
anti Semites, they want to kill the Jews. It's all about the
Jews to kill the Jews. So this thing is exposed as a massive
hoax. Now here now, on the no agenda show, we get to do things
that that you just cannot get on regular news cast because
advertisers need don't want it to have to do we got to hit the
break. We got to do that. There's news coming up at the
top of that whatever. Matt? of it. He's Reuters I think right.
Matt in the State Department. That
was AP, you may have no, I
think these Reuters. Okay, Matt. And in a minute, you'll hear
Matt, a double teaming with siete. But Matt is having none
of this bullcrap. And let's start first with the photo. Now
the photos which you by now have probably seen, even the New York
Times, I'm calling it photo gate, actually, the New York
Times is now backpedalling on this, they published photos and
said, Hey, this guy who is has a non uniform in Donetsk in the
beard with the beard, like the ZZ Top guy. He was in Russia in
Georgia, and he's he's a Russian soldier, it's fact Russia and so
on soldiers, Russian Russia, it's the Russians. So Matt calls
Jen Psaki on this in and I've edited this down and just the
most beautiful white stories,
the reports about this about these photographs, this evidence
that I've seen, say that the administration endorses or
accepts that these are reasonable that these are
factual,
by the way, these were taken from some guides, Instagram, as
it turns out, is that is that correct? Well,
a range of the photos that the Ukrainians have provided and to
be fair, a number of US officials have tweeted, oh, it's
been tweeted provided publicly are from publicly available
photos, either in international media, or already on Twitter.
I love this whip. Now she's going to make the case that this
is true because it's been on Twitter and in international
media,
that show either individuals or, or signs have a connection with
between Russia and some of the armed militants in eastern
Ukraine. So that, as you know, has long been what we have
believed and made the case. It gets better. It gets better,
Holly
included, she was behind my NYPD
with a stupid Twitter stuff, yeah. Could be, hey, it worked
so well, for the Ukrainians. Let's do it for the police
out, whether that's the Secretary or the president or
others. So these are just further evidence, evidence of
the connection between Russia and the armed militants.
How strong is the case? Do you think that these photographs
make?
Well, we've stated the case pretty strongly publicly, before
these photos were out there before we were talking about
them in terms of our belief that there's a strong connection
between Russia and the armed militants that we've seen in
eastern Ukraine, and this is
your American government failing at lying about the fact that
they have no proof whatsoever that they're that these are
Russian troops.
The other thing is, does this guy this guy, you're telling me
that Joe, when was Georgia was like four or five years ago,
guys, are changes. In the same exact guy,
his agent, his agent said, don't change that, man, this is good.
This is a look, I can get you work, I can make you famous, I
can make you leave your wife famous dude, if you keep the
beard,
just watch Crimea and other places. So this is more just
further photographic evidence, evidence. Right.
But I mean, how certain are you that these photographs show have
links to Russia who were involved in Georgia in 2008? And
then our evolved in Ukraine in 2014? Well, what
were what we see in the photos that have been again, in
international media on Twitter, and it's been on
Twitter, Matt, shut up. It's been on Twitter, you know, it's
real, publicly available publicly,
is that there are individuals who visibly appear to be tied to
Russia, we've said that publicly a countless number of times, I
will you all draw the conclusions yourself as to
whether these are individuals who look similar or not when we
say and
so it's so
and this was sort of the guy six years ago, it looks the same as
he does today. Exactly. And the funny thing is, I think these
guys have been eating their own dog food. Because I, they, I
don't know, you know, this is like the my NYPD thing that we
brought up at the beginning of Yes, yes, it's a State
Department that knows they can pull off this stupid crap with a
press or key press for the press.
So outside the country, but the United States you the typical
idiot in the United States has been on social media since the
beginning and is more likely to react to this kind of
manipulation and I
got to disagree. I got to disagree. I think that the
typical United States citizen is all in
no but here's the yeah but it's a cycle of in your in at the
beginning. It cycles through the hoax notion. It comes back
around as a as a negative thing. We don't just sit on it and then
you know, had caused a revolution based on some scam
some phoney baloney thing everybody eventually comes
around to realising it's a hoax. I mean, it's what happens with
all the hoaxes that go through Facebook and Twitter and all the
rest. Oh, it was a hoax. I mean, there's still a few complete
idiots Yes, but I don't think it's anything like outside the
country have usually this is backfires always with the New
York PD thing. Have you
so even the New York Times
may have been hooked so often.
Well, this is the this is the the newspaper of record hoaxes.
What and what kind of fact checking do they do? I mean,
this is this is a black mark on the New York Times just one of
many. But have you ever seen a white guy and an and an Arab
guy, double team, a redhead?
I don't know what you mean by that. But what Well, here's
Matt and Saeed going after Jen. Well, she's a redhead. And what
we saw last night so Secretary Kerry engineers are getting up
and talking about this leaflet that was put out regarding
Jewish registration and doughnuts, and it appears that
this is just a hoax. This is this is not a real thing.
No, no, it's he's saying it's a hoax. This is a a representative
of the media saying this is a hoax. And he'll come back to the
pictures again and just watch what happens and listen to this
woman trying to get out of
it was identified as, as a something of major significance
by the Secretary and by and by and by others. And I'm just
wondering, given that in the apparent On the fact that that
or the what appears to have been a hoax got turned into something
very much more major than than it potentially that it had the
potential to be if these photographs could fall, if the
Russians could point to these photographs is falling into the
same category
well met. There's a range of details out there. We've talked
about that. That leads us to believe there's a strong
connection, we'll let people draw their own conclusions,
Jen, but you're saying you'll make an A case in this case?
Well, I would finish, I would point you to what the Secretary
when the President what? What suits,
all liars, by the way, all liars
isn't rice have said what we've all been saying for weeks about
the strong connection. This is not a strong
connection. But you're not. Are you saying that the United
States government, whether it's, you know, great tradition of
intelligence gathering and sources and so on, is now
dependent on publicly traded photographs on the internet and,
and we, Twitter and so on?
I think it's fair to to, to, to, to convey that we're looking at
a fair share of classified and class unclassified information
we're discussing both.
Not this is this is where she's in the corner, Matt is
sharpening up the knife. But
these are a range of photos and your pit the point on the nail
on the head had been publicly available that are probably a
better national media will let you draw your own conclusions.
No, yes. It's something that they appear to be they look
like. Are you saying that you're actually looking at their what
they look physically and they look like people who are
connected to Russia? Is that what you
think I think I've answered this question.
You're saying that these photographs, backup classified
intelligence.
The public argument I've been making for weeks
that backup the bullcrap lies we've been making out
right. But more your argument is not just based on the public,
publicly available photographs, like these ones? Correct.
Obviously, I'm not going to talk about all that information. It
is fair that we are having a range of conversations with our
international partners. And these photos are, which are,
again, publicly available. Or just further, further evidence
or further examples.
I guess. I'm just not sure why you keep pointing out that
they're publicly available. I mean, no one's saying they're
not but but you know, just because they're publicly
available. Doesn't. I don't see how that buttresses your
argument one way or the other. What I'm asking is whether these
publicly available photographs, mesh with backup, anything, any
indication so you're getting from non public, or Intel. Well,
Matt,
why isn't this guy doing the PBS NewsHour? He's asking real
questions. These are good questions. Yeah.
You don't have to even ask that
argument we've been making for weeks about to
make that public argument. If you didn't have other reason to
believe that it was true. I'm not sure that then you're just
making it up.
I have no, no reason to
believe consistently made the same argument about the
connection between we've seen between Russia and between these
armed militants that's been consistent for weeks. These
photos just show further examples of that connection.
But you wouldn't be making that argument. Am I correct? You
wouldn't be making that argument. If you didn't have
other reasons to suspect at this
point in our argument. I'm not going to back. I'm not going to
publicly available
evidence that's publicly available evidence does actually
support what we have gathered and other means
by other than what we've stated for weeks. Okay. Do we have any
more on this? Yeah,
one more question. Now, the Russians are claiming that the
Ukrainians are already you know, they whatever you call they
already violated the terms of the agreement continue but do
you have any comment on that?
No, no comment.
So I want to go back before we get too far off of field a to
the My favourite analysts which is bald Herbert of France 24 ban
cat who was a in the Ukraine again, and he's actually in the
area where the done and scarier were those were the hoax. Jewish
thing was sent out and I don't understand why it would even go
there because these people are trying to renounce the right
wingers that would be if anyone was sent out that letter
wouldn't be in this area. And this in this is the guy if you
recall is who really clued us in on Crimea. Oh, yes. Oh, that's
this guy. Okay, yeah. Great. This guy. So he's now over
there. And he's going to give us the I want you to contrast this
with what you played earlier from the BBC, which told us
nothing. This guy is Going into now give us the rundown on
what's going on in the eastern Ukraine and what is maybe where
it's headed
fear that Geneva court is dead and buried essentially, those
were the words of the Ukrainian interim president. It's
precisely because of towns like Slav yawns canal Amin's on Yes.
And so on yet ski is officially the capital of the self
proclaimed People's Republic comes in yet the separatists
stronghold yet Slavyansk is the town if anything that appears
more hardcore, sort of taken over by more of a siege
mentality than even done yet. The Organisation for Security
and Cooperation in Europe has monitors on the grounds in this
region. And they are ostensibly here to help implement and ease
the implementation of the Geneva Accords. However, they have set
themselves at Slovenians where I spent the entire day yesterday,
is essentially totally under the control of armed groups and the
siege mentality, you really can't understate it wherever you
go. There is a sense that the regime in Kyiv are full of
fascists. It's a hunter essentially, that is out to get
the east of the mayor the town held a press conference
yesterday, we've got your slough punnamada. He's of course pro
Russian self proclaimed Marissa Mayer not recognised by anyone
really outside of his own town or region. And he basically sees
American mercenaries everywhere or says he sees their presence,
he sees the Ukrainian army about to strike his town. Basically,
everyone here says they want a referendum, not just greater
autonomy, that key is holding out as a possibility. They want
to federalize state, if not totally to break away from
Ukraine and join Russia. They're not laying down their arms
anytime soon. And anyone who questions who questions their
motives or who questions their their their willingness to
perhaps listen to other people suddenly becomes an enemy to
them. They do not want to hear any other version of the truth.
Yeah, that makes total sense to me. Yeah, it makes total sense
and I like the American
mercenaries are probably they're causing trouble. Oh, yeah. And
these guys that were found tortured, probably God knows
what's going on net with that. But that this is this is a
serious situation. And yeah, fooling around is not going to
accomplish anything. These guys are going to do it they're going
to do
I got two quick clips from Professor Steve Cohen. This is
the guy that you turn this on to I think initially right like
Cohen Yeah, CO and I didn't think Cohen would ever get back
get asked back because now he's making too much sense. But he's
on some some overnight show on CNN now and
getting to two o'clock in the morning.
It here he is. Everybody says some interesting things that no
agenda listeners will clue into. We
all remember what happened. Peaceful protests became violent
in the streets. He was overthrown, he fled, a new
government was formed. And then the focus shift to eastern
Ukraine, which is largely pro Russian. That's what we're
watching. Now. The problem here is a lot of tails are wagging
the dog, the dog being east west relations in the possibility of
war, these these violent episodes at checkpoints,
snipers, young tufts wearing masks, we don't know who they
are armed militia roaming the lands both in the east and the
west. And it's not clear that Russia could control these
developments, or that Kia, which is backed by the United States
and Europe can control those developments in western Ukraine.
So I think we're on the cusp of civil war in Ukraine, regardless
of what Russia and the United States might decide.
And that is probably exactly what everybody wants. Let's
balkanize that let's break it up. Let's make it into a small
microstates. About three, three or four, three or four. Yeah,
and he continues with well, with the obvious,
yeah, then you can see how some of these provocations could
spiral out of control. I mean, you talk about sort of harkening
back to the Cold War to the Soviet Union. One of the things
we just heard from the Prime Minister of Ukraine was saying,
this is what Vladimir Putin wants. He's staging a return to
the days of the USSR. What do you make of that question? What
do you think?
I just miss it as as as the propaganda one side problems we
have. Russia is churning out its propaganda or misinformation.
Kyiv. It's and Washington. It's now listen to what the New York
Times reported today on Sunday, on the front page that the Obama
administration has decided to write off Putin as a leader and
to go back to the old Cold War policy of containment. They use
that word not if that report is accurate, didn't give any
sources. But it was on the front page of The New York Times that
the Obama administration has decided on a new policy old
policy of containment toward Russia. That means that
officially officially, we are back in Cold War. We don't need
the acting prime minister of Ukraine to tell us that
President Obama has told us that if the New York Times report is
accurate,
I'm sure that the leaks to the New York Times are accurate
because it is the mouthpiece of the New World Order. Right now
And
what fun
Yeah, well I find the whole business disgusting and
everyone's just lapping it up then just allowing our leaders
to do this where the it's too bad. I make a plea but I know
it's falling on deaf ears we have lots of kids students
listening in colleges supporting the show and your professors are
also supporting the show but you need to someone needs this cream
create a ruckus we need to protest riot This needs to stop
are we not? Are we are we just going to sit by and watch on TV
that unfold? And then oh well there we go. It's another war
we're in it. It's how stupid is everybody?
Well, in the Civil War would be an interesting because it would
be it would be a balkanization, which is something we seem to
like
look at Yugoslavia or
busted up into a whole bunch Czechoslovakia and we
shot cruise missiles
in really into Bosnia and Herzegovina and
but it only killed the bad kind. Well,
it does. It does sell a lot of guns and weapons and you have
different if you have three countries instead of one
country. They have to buy three times as much weaponry as this
is a fact. And so you end up with I think this is good for
business.
Ah, yeah. Well, that that is what it seems to be. I mean,
we're we're slowly pulling out of all other places. So I guess
you know, we need Yeah, we're gonna have to do something all
the time. Now. Someone said all wars are bankers wars, and I'm
beginning to think that's kind of true.
It could be that so I have a couple of clips. Obama has gone
to Asia.
Yes, this is now he is. He's also going to Malaysia. He's
because Malaysia is one of the holdouts on the TTP Correct?
I believe so. But he's going there for reasons unknown to me.
He did say there's a lot of commentary on this on the
international news shows that bitching out of the blue, that
he made a big deal about pivoting in Silicon Valley
parlance pivoting toward Asia and then not doing anything is
he hasn't pivoted to anything he just hated. So now he's going to
the Japanese or irk that Michelle didn't show up with
him.
She went to China even worse.
Yeah, right. So that's, that's some sort of insult to the
Japanese. But I have these two clips and you're talking about,
you know, the first device which is really the setup for the
second clip, so play a bomb in Asia, it's a little background
on on van cat,
it's president is enroute to Japan, the first time in a week
wrong Asian tour. Speaking to local media just before he
headed off, Barack Obama said the US would be ready to come to
Japan's defence if needed to intervene in the dispute over
islands in the East China Sea. A territorial Rao has been
rumbling between China and Japan since Japan bought the islands
off a private owner two years ago. Well To tell us more about
that, and Obama's foreign nation Asian visit, and it young joins
us now in studio. And it how much is Obama's trip going to
focus on defence? A lot, because as we've just been seen there in
the Ukraine, there's a great deal of concern in Asia that
they might be in danger of experiencing a similar scenario
with the Chinese. They don't want an Asian equivalent to
Crimea, and why Unlike Europe, the Asian countries don't have a
defence Alliance, like NATO, which of course, exists in
Europe, and also allows America to throw its weight around in
this part of the world. Now, of course, particularly Japan and
South Korea are very concerned about an overly aggressive China
on the
doorstep. What would be the Asian Crimea
didn't say, but they just they're fearful that something
would be Wow, that somehow this is what we missed. Somewhere
along the line a propaganda campaign must have begun that
has dead it put into the mind space to use another Silicon
Valley term of the Asian population that a Crimea is
imminent in with China being the equivalent of Russia, in the
Asian sphere and the van cat reporters picked up on this. I
never heard this. I haven't heard this either. Now, it goes
on with this other little piece of information and that's
probably why I mentioned the three countries are better than
one for like selling arms and armaments. Now this little
tidbit here on the Philippines is kind of interesting. No,
yeah, Korea. The other thing though, which will be very
interesting is on Monday, he'll be signing this new agreement
with a Filipino government which will allow the Americans greater
access to the Philippine Air Force bases and naval bases,
which is something quite extraordinary given that it's
been 20 years since the Americans closed down that big
naval installation of Subic Bay.
Yeah. But didn't we create with HAARP? Didn't we create that
typhoon, and we wiped everything out? And then we went in and
brought our ships and we're right off the coast there did
not all happen.
Yeah. It's not the same as Subic Bay, which was this huge
operation that they shut down. I think we're going to, I think
this has something to do with that. That little that inlet
that you pointed out that runs along,
the Malacca Straits,
the Malacca Straits, and it has said that it put another base in
the Philippines somehow we've, we've scared these people that
we don't like again, I think we dropped the ball on something
here. Somehow we frightened it because the Filipinos don't want
to deal with us. We were a pain in the ass and they didn't like
they're the ones who drove the Subic Bay thing out.
I listened by listen protests. They all work for our call
centres. What do you mean they work? We own them?
Well, they like that part. And we don't do they didn't like
this base. Because you know, we go into these places and Eldar,
we have a bunch of drunken sailors, they wreck the place.
So they get tired of their their women being accosted. What
should we do with a drunken sailor?
So basically, everything going on that were completely unaware
of Obama's going over there. I believe there's a piece of
information missing.
Well, look what's happening. I just saw out of the corner of my
eye, I saw the Malaysian prime minister on TV, this is heating
up. Malaysia they need in order to create this TPP which by the
way, any. I'm changing my own story now. But any shale gas, if
we have any I'm not even sure we have that. Now. Anything we do
get to export, it's not going to Europe. That's just the speed at
all along that's just to get it going. It's all going to Asia.
That that is blatantly clear to me. And we need that TPP
agreement, then we need to push it through. We need to hurry
that up. And Malaysia they are the one of the whole I think the
holdouts, this little crappy country. They're in for regime
change. And whether it's the flight 370 or anything else, I
think you watch regime changes coming in Malaysia put it in the
book. Well, we have it in the book, I think,
yes, we have it we talked about this weeks ago. Yeah. And I
think you're right. All right, onward. So South Sudan has got
some action we should talk about. But first I want to get
before the show gets too far
out really good action, does not like hot girl on girl action,
is I'm going to make a prediction. And I have the clip.
Oh, very good. I am now going to predict and I'm putting it in
the Red Book that Elizabeth Warren will be the Democratic
candidate for president.
Oh, my goodness, I have two clips about her as well.
Well, let's play the one where she's on Charlie Rose,
explaining you in some sort of I don't know, this was totally
scripted about the evils of capitalism and how you need a
cop on the beat and all this more regulation. And she's the
one you know, behind all that. So I think she is very anxious
and reasonable and she loves her What is anxious, anxious is kind
of like you know, you know, oh, you're just like, you know,
you're kind of you're just you know, since hyper sincere and
oh, like,
crap. You mean full of crap.
Yeah, full of crap. It's
her. Here she is on Charlie Rose.
Tell me about this sexuality. It's in your DNA.
I'm sorry. This,
you know, the funny thing is to clip kind of starts creating
opportunities. Now we are not okay.
When you look at this, do you blame capitalism? Is the
American brand of capitalism. Part of the problem? I think we
need to have more regulation. We need to have a hard look at what
capitalism does and how it works in your judge.
We always need to have a hard look at all of our policies in
Washington. Now I'm talking about the essential economic
system that has brought the United States to the place of
economic leadership. Wow, is
he talking about getting rid of the petro dollar? What is his
Charlie on the SDR? Wow, okay. And what and again, a hard look.
What does that mean? Where does it what is the etymology of a
heart? I
don't know. I don't
know. But that, in part, are the rules in Washington that make
the difference. Charlie, Charlie put a cop on the beat. On Main
Street. It means nobody steals your purse. You put a cop on the
beat on Wall Street, it means nobody steals your pension. The
decision about whether to have a cop on the beat will profoundly
affect how much stealing goes on. We've got to have fair
rules. Whether or not we invest in our schools will determine
whether or not kids are going to have real opportunities, if we
invest in infrastructure will determine whether or not small
businesses have a chance to grow those possible
So, most people understand that building that investments,
investments in infrastructure investments in scientific
research, investments in human resources are essential yes to
our competitive drug competitive place in the world.
So then the question becomes, so why are we cutting back on all
of this? Think about that, Charlie. Oh,
think think about that. She is
such a dick. I really do not like this woman.
I don't either and she's gonna be she's gonna beat Hillary
because she's better than Hillary. And she's got less
baggage and she's got a great pitch on student loan. She is
outstanding industry. Here's
the I have the student loan pitch, which she laid down on
she has a book
Okay, before you go there. I want to say I got a couple of
things to finish one. She's the one who says you need a cop you
know, stops crime a cop on Wall Street prevents you stealing a
purse stealing a pension. Right? This is bullcrap. Because we've
already had we've had cops all over the place on Wall Street,
the SSC supposed to snap the maid off and they didn't do
crap. I want to play two clips. Then we get back to the
educational thing. This is Matt Taibbi on Democracy Now talking
about his new book and there's a two clip two parter is about the
abacus bank and this is your cop on the beat that does exist. And
this is the this is a disgusting, a disgusting story.
Firstly, we get the background on the abacus bank which was
busted last May. And then we hear Tai Chi B's takedown of the
of the whole thing
American injustice in the age of the wealth gap. Now, turning to
the banks or the bank that was prosecuted abacus bank last May
it became the first bank to be indicted in Manhattan in over
two decades. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr
announced the indictment.
Today we are announcing the indictment or guilty pleas of 19
individuals on charges including mortgage fraud, securities fraud
and conspiracy, as well as the indictment of abacus Federal
Savings Bank, a federally chartered bank that has been
catering to the Chinese immigrant community since 1984.
These defendants the bank and former employees and managers
from its loan department, are charged with engaging in a
systematic scheme to falsify and fabricate loan applications to
the Federal National Mortgage Association commonly known as
Fannie Mae, so that borrowers who would otherwise not legally
qualify for Fannie Mae's mortgages could obtain them
unlawfully. This is a large scale mortgage fraud case than
we estimate to include hundreds of millions of dollars worth of
falsified loan applications. If we have learned anything from
the recent mortgage crisis, it's that at some point, these
schemes unravel and taxpayers can be left holding the bag.
Okay, stop. Now, now that sounds good, kind of but it didn't you
realise that this is bolc
Little China bank, Little China bank.
And here's Matt Taibbi talking about it. This is all outlined
in his book.
That's Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance, Jr. Matt Taibbi, you were at
this trial. You heard us
also the guy who railroaded Dominique Strauss Kahn, by the
way, yes,
Prosecutor Vance, they're suggesting some some link here
to the financial crisis. But that wasn't the case. So so this
is, I mean, it's almost humorous. It's not humorous for
the bank involved, obviously. But here he is. Holding this
grand press conference, they actually had a chain gang where
they they shamed 19 of the defendants together and hauled
them into court. For this, for this exercise, working for
advocates, all working for advocates, and the these were
these are working class. Chinese immigrants, basically the
highest ranking official in this entire case made $90,000 a year.
Many of them didn't speak English. This is a small bank
wedge between two noodle shops in China. And this was the
target they chose to go against as a symbol of the financial
crisis. In the chain gang incident, actually, three of the
three of the defendants had actually already been arraigned.
But they asked them to volunteer to come down to the courthouse
for the for the photo op that day, brought them in, chain them
up to the rest of the defendants so they could be rearranged for
the benefit of the cameras. But the point of this whole thing is
that advocates Federal Savings Bank, which is this small
community, minority bank, in Manhattan, this was the sole
target of any reprisal by the Federal by by the by the
government in the wake of the financial crisis, and they're a
stone's throw from all these gigantic skyscrapers, you know,
housing all these other major banks that committed crimes that
were hundreds of times worse than than abacus was even
accused of.
Actually I read His article on this a while back, and it's it's
very fun. It's too bad that he's been shut up and been bought out
by Dr. McCarthy. Yep, yeah.
There he'll be he'll be sparring Oh, we'll see a cop on the beat.
Well, Elizabeth Warren was the cop on the beat, who was
supposed to protect me from these credit card practices,
which I only did to repair my credit, which is what I need,
according to our president, where they're charging me
interest on just for using the card. And it's these, someone
sent me an email that the same bank was credit one, he moved,
and the guy moved. And then he got a note from the credit one.
This is someone who emailed this and said, because you have moved
your due date for your payment may change. Why? And the answer
that was the question and the answer was because you've
changed zip codes. And of course, the true answer is to
make sure you miss a payment so we that can then go to the 23%
interest. That's the reason anything to get you to slip up
once, which is why you have this one bank that commercial with
the twins, where you get the slip up once the first time you
miss a payment. It's okay awesome sauce. No worries. Oh my
goodness, yes. It's what I call them the freedom bank. What are
the name of the bank is they're all horrible. eight holes. And
Elizabeth Warren is in on it. And her pitch, here's her pitch
on. And I agree by the way that she she's got her book out
before Hillary, although Hillary, you know, Hillary's got
the pregnant kid. This is good, good play. Here is the dead
husband.
She'll have the dead husband. This is it's all in the book,
pregnant kid, a kid that husband I
don't care. She's not going to cut it. When the two of them go
head to head in a debate. Lizabeth Warren is going to eat
her lunch.
Well, here is Warren on Jon Stewart with a very typical
pitch about this college loans. Kids can't afford to go and
she's so insincere. She is so instantly I just, I have people
meet or
go to college, or their parents can't afford to just write them
a check. So they gotta borrow money, right? The United States
government says we will lend you the money to go to school. Okay,
that's a good thing to do. And then
stop, stop. I didn't clip this part of the Charlie Rose show.
But I'm telling you because I have a good memory for this.
This is word for word, the same? The same?
Oh, of course, she is a robot. She's a she's an Android, play
it
out piles on to the interest rates so that the government
makes 10s of billions of dollars in profit off the backs of kids
who are trying to get an education. I think it is obscene
make profits.
Now, what's your answer? But that doesn't strike me. So who
is lobbying the government to get them more money? That's not
even a corporate interest. That's a government. Inherent
internal corruption is
that is exactly the point. Yeah. So to say which I want to do.
And I think we're going to propose next month, refinancing
those student loans that are outstanding to bring down the
interest rate, interest rate on those student loans. In order to
be able to do that. We got to find someplace else in the
budget.
Okay. Do you remember what what she says someplace else? And the
budget is the same as Charlie Rose. Do you recall what she
said there?
No, I don't find that money.
My view is we ought to close a couple of those loopholes my
paycheck is their secretary. Here's what's frustrating.
The old we got to make them pay them the same taxes is this
thing the Secretary's she Okay, now Now, here's the here's the
kicker. If anybody knows how this stuff works, it's Mica. You
know, mica Uber's. Mika Brzezinski, daughter of the
great grand chess game. elitist are zigging Brzezinski. And they
sent one of their reporters for the Morning Joe Show, out to
interview. Elizabeth Warren. And mica at the end of this piece
tells you exactly how it works and how it's going down and why
and you'll hear Elizabeth Warren, she does not say she's
not running. She says, I'm not running now. You know, now that
she won't run ever for president but she said I'm not running.
I'm not running so and she's insincere. She's skirting around
that she's a liar. She's a douchebag She's done nothing but
waste my time and energy as far as I'm concerned. And you say
that she will eat Hillary's lunch? Well,
I've read a number of articles just Within the last week, and
one of them is titled, Hillary's nightmare. And they're talking
about,
you know, I don't care who writes these headlines or flick?
Yeah, of course, she writes her. Her campaign manager wrote that
there's just kind
of a pundit world out there. Are you going to run for president?
I'm not running for President.
I'm not running for president. There's nothing that could
change your mind.
David. Like I said, I'm not running for president
performative. And do you think Hillary Clinton would make a
good president? I think Hillary Clinton is terrific. We've got
to stay focused on these issues right now. Right now
we've got to I if I know what I would be happy if she also
became president, because we'd have more fun as the Empire
Falls to shit. This woman can't run anything. She can't run. She
can't run.
You know, I think she's, she's not running not she doesn't say
I'm not going to run exactly. She says I run it running and
she's not she's not running. Right now. She's
not lying.
But are you talking right now? John? Are you talking?
No, you're not but listen to Mica. Mica has the analysis.
It's actually a no agenda analysis. Exactly. Right.
Exactly. Willie Geist.
There is a pundit world out there and the waters
warm inside of it isn't. Great big world. Come inside Senator
warm waters just come on in. Do you say you don't think there's
any chance she runs? Oh, the left of Hillary Clinton or
whoever the Democrat? I think
people really want her run. And the people that I've talked to
who are Democrats seem really excited by her. There is no way
she could have answered that question. Any other way? Are you
Hillary's nightmare. Thanks, David Muir. That's not very
helpful if you want to get an answer. Well, not helpful did a
great job. It's like, no, actually, that's basically
saying you're gonna get a no because the Hillary Clinton
entire cabal with the real balls in on her and get rid of her so
quickly. She has to say no.
That's exactly right. Hillary Clinton will shoot you in the
face. That's what she does.
Yeah, yeah. She's got these pretty obvious she's running.
And she'll beat Hillary. No,
no. Well, she'll be she may beat her up. I don't think I mean,
Hillary is gonna have the dead husband, the pregnant kid. She's
gonna look dynamite. And she has she has a you know, she's got
them. She has the power. Man. Warren's got no powers. You got
no money.
The book? Yeah. Well, I look, I put in the book that you say no
chance in hell.
No. I didn't say that. I didn't say no chance. And I know what
you indicate.
I do say, here's all the power. You're putting words in my mouth
gone. She's
got this. I didn't say she had a gun. I said she could shoot she
will shoot you in the face. I didn't say she had a gun. That's
okay. I implied that. Yeah. Well, Hillary Clinton you with
this with this? Well,
well, if you want to.
Okay, let's start, wait, let's do a fractal thing here.
Hillary's really cannot campaign. She puts idiots in
charge. She doesn't know she's not good at it. You know,
there's some of the great things you notice, when you notice this
in Silicon Valley. Why are some companies so successful? Because
they have a guy who's really good at picking out personnel.
He gets the right people, he puts them all in place. And the
you know, he knows what he's doing in that regard. She has
none of that skill, and she can't find a person who does. So
she'll put together a crappy campaign like she did against
Obama. And anybody who comes along can blow it apart,
effortlessly. And that's what Warren is going to do. Because a
Warren we already know, can really put together a campaign
to take out that Scott Brown guy like there was there she got
three times as she's got. We found this on an a clip just a
couple weeks ago. She is getting more money than anybody. She is
knows what she's doing.
Well, it will be a sad day for our country.
Well, let's hope the Republicans can come up with some Bob they
got no, this woman is easy picking. I think if if if I was
a Republican, and I had to run against Clinton versus Warren,
I'd rather run against Hillary. I'm sorry, I'd rather run
against Warren because I think you can pick her off. Hillary is
dangerous. If she's at the top of the ticket,
you may fall down the stairs. I have an unfortunate accident.
But I think that Republicans can beat her because she's such a
socialist, but
Elizabeth, Elizabeth Warren is elected. You know, it doesn't
matter. What am I even saying? Now you're being crazy. I'm just
worried that why am I even caring about my show was filled
by Jonah frail. Imagine all the people. Oh, yeah, that'd be
nuts.
I gotta remind myself once in a while. What is this crazy talk?
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. But they're all all
things. But I just want to say as we go into this little
segment, you need to stay and up to the police state and tell
people that they are rude. Inappropriate and above all,
they work for you. Yeah,
I pay you my taxes. Pay yourself.
You don't say that. You just say you work for me, son. What are
you going to do? taze you? Yeah. All right. I'll take that. But
doesn't matter. You gotta say excuse me, son. You work for me.
All right.

note. Here's why. I got a big giant note on a piece of paper
that is so thick. It's like it's hard to believe this is paper.
Yeah, there's because there's a couple of douchebag call outs in
here. My coworker Dave and I just sat through a work safety
present. Oh, there's a good story. sat through a work safety
presentation on active shooters.
Hey, what is the what is the opposite of an active shooter?
I sit down I don't know you haven't a hamburger.
We have a hamburger shooter. If you want
to guess what video we watched That's right. The ridiculous DHS
active shooter got you to ripped apart over a year and of course
Dave and I had already seen the video thanks to no agenda so we
were quite prepared to mock this piece of scare propaganda. Cool.
Remaining Dave and I have thank you for making Dave and I aware
and we prepared and have a closed the DHS pamphlets they
handed out plus a check for 50 I will be applying this 50 To my
knighthood and not Dave's please give my co workers an inventory

double credit and a reminder that we always read everything
from our executive and Associate Executive producers. Everything
over $50 is mentioned with the amount. It's called transparency
dude. And we know if you send the check into the PIO box with
a note you have a high likelihood of that being read.
We try to break for a Knights and Dames but we really can't
read everybody's note. Just there's just too much show. Too

mentioned that Tom Kilbride, one of our many listener novelists,
has produced the no agenda saving America Shut up slaves
novel No, which has the main characters Adam and myself and
some some other guy, CIA or something. And Mickey's in it,
and nice, Justin. He makes the mistake of saying John Dvorak is
a the John C. Dvorak. The C stands for capslock. And he goes
and he's got Mickey's in there, Mimi's in there. We're all in
this book. And what's it called? Is it a is it a duplicate? John
Nash is available on Amazon. He's gonna give us a proceeds no
agenda, saving America Shut up slaves by Tom Kilbride. And he
sent a picture of himself and to his wife, his lovely wife, or
girlfriend, girlfriend, Nancy. See its house please do that
Adam gets his copy.
Here. It is. No agenda saving America. It's $9 and paperback.
That's a good deal.
That's a great deal. Let's see, is it also on Kindle? Hey, we're
on the cover here with the. for more than six years media
assassins crackpot Adam curry and buzz kill John C. Dvorak
have performed the twice weekly podcast no agenda show a
discussion of current events or whatever they feel like talking
about, from wine to chemtrails. We haven't talked about either
very much lately. In this fictional accounts. They are
recruited by the CIA to help foil an evil plot to create
turmoil in the American population by taking down the
Internet's most popular site. The story has adventure
intrigue, foreign travel spies and assassinations. So shut up
slaves and buy this book if not today. In the morning. Cute.
Yeah, I like it.
Okay, this is a dialogue guy. He's gonna
like it. Perfect. All right. Well, thank you very much. Also
reminder that we have a show on Sunday. And today, of course,
we're going a little bit long because well, you know, value
for value, giving you as much as we can. We got a lot of show to
give. And we'd love to see your support for the upcoming
programme.org/n A for getting to the birthdays. I got a another
note from Kirby and Anne, she sent me a picture and I'm pretty
sure I did this. This birthday shout out. I'm not sure but just
in case. She says that to John Adam last Thursday happily made
my first donation to your show after one and a half years of
douchebaggery. I was hoping my note will be good enough to get
picked. So you guys would read it for my boyfriend's birthday.
Typically we do that, as it would be much cooler coming from
y'all than for me in an email. However, my note didn't make the
cut even though I sent a picture. So I listened jealously
as the funny notes of other donors were read on air as I
tried not to feel like the ugly duckling which you're not curvy.
Also, unfortunately, I donated 6969 Tuesday night but heard the
last bit of the past Sunday show on Wednesday and found the six
nine streak had been broken as a result of my misfortune. And due
to the value for value concept your show I thought to propose
two options one, if you would please pick one or two one read
the following on the air. I would like to make a donation to
the best podcast in universe on behalf of my wonderful boyfriend
Carter Pelham. He turned 26 years old on April 17. About six
months ago. I got him in the car where he couldn't get away and
hit him in the mouth. Let's just say I didn't need to hit him
again. Wink wink. He absolutely loves it. And I'm so happy to
finally taking the plunge to officially support your show
Keep up the good work option to say Kirby Wallace Shut up slave
and I will continue on as a happy donor then try again next
time. Well, we've done both of them.
Here's what I'd like you to be when you've done both. Yeah,
well, I'd want you to make sure you make your man happy if you
know what I'm talking about.
I know Kirby Wallace says Happy Birthday 26 to Carter fellowman
just did that. I don't want to call me a voter for not helping
you out. Jacobson says Happy Birthday to his nephew Peter
minich. And brother Ron Jacobson, 19 and 50 respectively
on the 21st Ben Smith's son turns to on April 21. Michael my
opticals son Marco turns four on the 24th and John Howard is now
70 Whatever that means happy birthday from your buddies.
Here's the best podcast in the universe. And we've got some
nice things and some title changes. So we have Barry Hanna.
I just want to we will be knighting him because it's a
black night but he is going straight into Baron hood. And we
have Dame Sam Minar A becomes a Baronet. And Sir Hank becomes
barren of Kew Gardens and Forest Hills. And that's it then we
have our regular knighting so a lot Yeah,

sure you get all your information in and Eric the
shield will hook you up, so to speak. But I get everything
here. See him? It was really great taking one show off one
whole show. But I always first I feel guilty. Good. Yeah, I drew
I just I feel super guilty. And then there's so much to catch up
on you know? Yeah.
It was that much to catch up on. I just like it continuum. just
jumped back on. It's like surfing, you jumped back on the
next wave. And you're the only way you don't, you know, so you
missed a wave.
There was some some interesting Common Core stuff. Let me just
see that I had. Oh, yeah. Two things. One, Pierson This is the
NAB with the Common Core State Standards. Of there's a tonne of
these nonprofits, douchebag organisations, I really hate
them. And they are they're the ones that take the money from
Bill and Melinda Gates. And from the Dells and everybody is going
to benefit ultimately from the trans humanization of your
children and put them into the pipeline till they'll be working
for Motorola and Chevron and this is a slave training
pipeline programme as they say themselves. Pearson is the
publishing arm of this of this scam. And they off course every
good company like the Coca Cola company, or like Nike or
whatever, they all have a foundation next to the
commercial organisation, which is where they can do all their
trickery. At the Pearson Charitable Foundation, the
nonprofit arm of the educational publishing giant Pearson Inc.
has agreed to pay a $7.7 million settlement to New York Attorney
General Eric T. Schneiderman. I guess he gets a check himself. I
don't know, after he determined the foundation had created
common core products to generate 10s of millions of dollars for
its corporate sister. And there's a couple things that are
bothersome about this one. There's just some random find
that who knows where that goes, is it go to the attorney
general? And he's going to the pot. He does everyone does
someone go on
to the general fund, but I could be wrong that well, but why
and why 7.7 million and why isn't someone going to jail?
Well, so what they had the investigation by Attorney
General examined Pearson's efforts since 2010, to develop a
line of classroom materials and tests built around Common Core.
And they are not allowed to do this. But this is a continuing
problem with this common core as witnessed by the news reports
that brand names are featured prominently in the Common Core
standardised English tests. You probably saw this news report
brands including Barbie iPod mug root beer from the Coca Cola
Corporation lifesavers, Nike showed up on the test more than
a million students in grades three through eight took this
month leading to speculation or some form of product placement.
And I'm going to say yes, and the reason why I say yes is if
you look into these corporations like the Coca Cola Corporation
and Nike Corporation, they all have foundations, who are big
supporters of Common Core on the side. Now they can say a million
times that there's no connection. But everything
points to there's an air gap when that when the Nike
foundation gives money to another nonprofit that is
involved in Common Core, or any educational nonprofit which will
have a relationship to another nonprofit of Common Core. It's a
tit for tat. And I don't know what your feeling is John, but
there's a lot of outrage by parents about these brands being
represented prominently in testing. What is your feeling?
Sounds like native advertising to me.
Even if it wasn't does it belong in? Does it belong in in in
school scholastic tests
or not? But I think you guys can probably rationalise in some way
shape or form by saying things like, well, you know, it's just
common to this to the culture. Everybody knows Coca Cola, and
so there's no reason not to mention them. Though just for
some political reason, well, what they
say is that the writers of these tests you know, they just write
whatever and they're not questioned on their choices.
That doesn't make any sense to me.
No, doesn't make any sense at all.
And I got a great email and I want you to go to scrap that no
agenda notes.com add on my students began there. A second
round of state testing today is a computer based test was
developed and sold by Pearson. These are the douchebags who
just paid that fine, I have
attached let me go with scrap what I'll tell you in a moment,
I have attached a piece of scrap paper that Pearson provides for
the test, go to scrap.no agenda notes.com. Each piece of scrap
paper has a barcode on it and we need to count out the number of
sheets we hand out to ensure we get the same number back. If a
student writes anything on the sheet. This is a scrap paper,
even a couple of Scratch lines, we need to mail it back to
Pearson. Each of them has a barcode and she this other
tract. So this
scrap paper is this Well,
someone is paying for this to their barcoding ZMSC
M A scratch paper, this scratch paper and then at the bottom
there's a barcode and it says something else which is blurry I
can't read
but the point is that this publishing company who just had
their their nonprofit sister organisation pay a humongous
fine for cheating on the whole deal. is charging someone
presumably the state's money for scrap paper barcoded scrap paper
that has to be sent back
what Yeah, yeah. I'm reading it myself. He says if a student
writes anything on the sheet, even a couple of Scratch lines,
we need to mail it back to Pearson. So they can properly
dispose of it.
Yeah. This is this is this is what is this common core baby?
Common Core.
Common Core baby is the
scam that is common core. Why cleft John's Haiti charity has
now finally closed down after 16 millions in donations most of it
went to they went to him and his family members. Douche bag,
douche bag. Disgusting. Well, would you expect I just want to
point it out. New York Times reports. Haiti housing effort
said to lag a post earthquake housing programme in Haiti
financed by us AI D has delivered only a quarter of the
plan number of houses at nearly twice the estimated cost.
Ah, wow.
How much money was raised again for
this we've lost track was a million zillions.
Well, so this the housing programme was part of a
reconstruction part of reconstruction efforts after
Haiti endured a devastating earthquake. The audit found that
the development agency had severely underestimated the cost
and the complexity of building homes in Haiti. Or do you mean
how much will be gouged by a holes who were on the government
nipple. The agency had planned to build as many as 4000 new
houses by December 2012, and provide 11,000 sites where new
houses could be built. But only 900 new houses have been
completed, and fewer than 6000 sites had been prepared for
construction. Meanwhile, the budget jumped from 90 million to
90 million from 55 million. So they're they're nickel and
diming. Us in reporting. Thanks, New York Times about $90
million. It where's the other $6 billion? Where did that go?
You know where it went?
Yeah, into the Clinton Library, I presume,
or somewhere like that. I have a couple off beats clips. Of
course. Now we do know we have to keep up with the gassing
another gas job was done in Syria by some guys. They blame
the government, of course, so we can do something about we're not
going to do anything. It was chlorine glass gas, which is not
even one of the stockpiled gases.
No and could chlorine doesn't even kill you.
Well, yeah, it doesn't hide concentrations kills you easy.
Well, if you drink it, no, no, no. Chlorine gas is not good.
Oh.
Can I quote you on that?
Yes, you can put me on that. Chlorine gas is not good. Play
this one. This is a clip that I believe we were trying to
deconstruct this at the other house and it's basically a slap
in the face to Californians in their drought. Play Portland P
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought we're gonna play the the gas thing.
Alright Portland P
Portland city officials are having to flush millions of
gallons of treated reservoir water after a 19 year old man
allegedly relieved himself in a non traditional location. It
happened around one o'clock Wednesday morning as three teens
snuck into Portland's reservoir five which holds some of the
city's drinking water. This security footage reportedly
shows one of the guys leaning against the fence and presumably
urinating. Those three men were detained shortly after they were
seen in the security footage and hours later, Portland city
officials decided to take the 50 million gallon reservoir off
line and flush 38 million gallons. The Portland water
bureau says there's little risk to the public's health but
Bureau administrator David Sheff says our customers have an
expectation that their water is not deliberately contaminated.
We have the ability to meet that expectation. This kind of
incident has happened once before the city flushed 8
million gallons of water in 2011 after a 21 year old man urinated
and another reservoir. You know,
chlorine gas is not good.
The chlorine will help to take the pee out of it. But you know
all the birds are crapping in this water and all the rest of
it going on and they dumped the bar just as this is just a slap
in the face to California. I'm telling you. Sorry. Yeah. 15
Yeah, who cares?
I understand it. Why is it a slap in the face to California's
we don't
have any water. And they're dumping it down the drain?
Because they don't care. Wasn't there a guy peed in the water?
Well, it's just
because he peed in it. What? Wasn't there a plan now? I'm
just just popped in my head wasn't in the 60s. Wasn't there
some plan that the environmentalist stopped to
bring water down from Canada or maybe it guess it was from way
up in northern Canada from
Oregon but they'd be filled with pee. You guys can have our
pizon your water. Wasn't there some plan in the 60s in my space
and
probably was in somebody put the kibosh on it for one reason or
another because it wasn't carrying oil here's the story
that we didn't get in the United States. You're gonna play this.
This is the bonus for tax man story that I've never heard this
term. Maybe I just missed it.
Yeah. For Texas, has come with higher interest rates in
America, but we'll use the money to finance its purchase at the
mobile network. SFR. What?
And finally, Steven a bonus for tax collectors who might not
deserve it.
This is thanks to a audit of America's Internal Revenue
Service, which found that it's paying a million dollars in
bonuses, just 1100 staff who themselves are in fact behind on
their tax payments. Now on top of that, it paid out another 1.8
million to workers who are facing disciplinary action for a
whole range of issues, including misusing government credit cards
for travel and fraudulently claiming unemployment benefits.
The government inspector carries out this report say the bonuses
were inconsistent, unsurprisingly, with the IRS
mission, which is to collect taxes, of course, but on the
whole they're not the worst offenders. Just 1.1% of workers
in this department of the American government are behind
on their taxes. Overall federal workers committed about 3% But
that's all behind the general population who about 8% of them
are behind on their tax bill so not the worst offenders but
perhaps a little bit inappropriate. You know, I'm I
saw the story I left it by the wayside I have not looked into
it of course the coincidence of it being of it being released
right around tax days you know is obvious
what it was the put the RS came out this came out yesterday.
Well it's not that far after tax day. Yeah, but a year already
too late it but what's the point? What? Like we don't know
story
ledges of random clip,
like we don't know that our government is not cheating.
Everybody's cheating. Everybody cheats when they can all cheat.
Elizabeth Warren Yes, she talks. She's the biggest cheater of
them all.
She's an American Indian. You can't say that about her. You
know what,
you know when I think she does when she checks into hotel, she
pees in the sink? That's that's the kind of person she is I got
an image I want to use a sync peer. I can tell Look, I know a
sync peer when I see one. So just just to lazy hop up on this
thing. Like a lot of work.
So in the tech news, I just want to watch
nothing. Oh, I thought you know, I didn't do anything as a sound
it must have been feedback on
some new mic. So, the the chairman of the FCC has said
that he is going to open up some make some changes to regulation.
Now. There is no publication yet by the FCC. There has been no
publication. Okay. This is Joe As to hearsay, what has been
said and you know, there's there's no actual document you
can read.
Can I Can I stop you for a second and give you a halt this
this activity, which you do to me, so I'm going to do it to you
this time. You are starting to drop in the word. Okay. As
you're telling me stuff. Oh, I'm
sorry. Yeah. I shall resume my my sink, peeing. Just please go.
Well, how do I say, okay, when do I say that? You say? Yeah,
so they never said anything. They never said a document up.
Okay.
Well, thank you for calling. Okay. Oh, thank you for calling
me on that. That's bad. Yeah, thank you.
What happens we have to break ourselves, even both of us I
have tried to do the other one this that. And the other
is very important. This that and the other thing is that the
other is bad is bad. I totally agree.
So it was another one? Well, that's a toughy. That's a very
hard one to break. What you will read everywhere now is, this is
going to ruin net neutrality. And it is unacceptable,
unacceptable for any serious news organisation. And I will
call out the New York Times, again, yes. to This is 2014.
When you are reporting a story on internet, the functioning of
the internet, it is now in my book. No longer acceptable, that
you use the superhighway analogy of fast lanes and toll booths,
stop this. This is not reporting. And if you see a tech
reporter tech reporter, talking about it this way, turn them
off. denounce them.
This has denounced the use of toll booths as an analogy. Yeah,
the internet?
Yes, this is no longer acceptable. And also,
was it ever
before? In the very beginning, I think maybe just but when when
we are now in an age, where the technology of the internet and
how it works and how the Internet itself routes around or
can route around issues of package slow down packet
segregation. It happens all the time. By the way. It happens all
the time. Transit and peering. And this is very complicated
stuff, how the Internet has grown and how it works. But
here's I wanted to read this because I thought it was
actually beautiful. See if I can find this. It was was actually
hilarious. Let's see. Oh, man.
I was on pins and needles, pins and needles. Now I feel bad.
Where is it? You've confused me? Well, I was. I think it was the
New York Times where they were saying that this this deal is so
bad. They it
was a night you went on a rant against the times. And now you
just think it was the New York Times?
No, I know. It was the New York Times. I'm just trying to find
the actual article. Maybe it was re edited. No, be quiet now. I'm
trying to I'm trying to find this No, man, this is
what you're looking for that let's play the clip dope in
Denmark. No,
I don't want to move away from this. I do not what people are,
I can paraphrase it what people are complaining about? Okay, is
that the cost of Okay, so the idea is that Disney and Netflix
will pay more. This is the way it's being presented. Although
there's no documentation, no evidence and no technical
explanation where they're talking about will pay more to
get faster delivery onto certain networks like Time Warner, which
would soon be one big internet provider, I guess. And that the
cost of these services will be passed on to the consumer making
movies from Disney and Netflix more expensive. And it would
make crappy startups with bull crap, useless information, it
might make it harder for them to deliver high quality content on
these networks. I believe neither of which are true.
However, if it is true, that's great. You mail if people if if
we've created the internet, the largest invention in the most
important invention of our lifetime, and people are worried
about the cost of debt Isn't he a Netflix? You deserve to be
shot slave? Who cares?
But first of all it as a topic it is a bogus topic because none
of this is going on the Netflix deal which did happen and I try
to talk to the CEO of Roku about this Anthony would specifically
because he used he's one of the was the hot one of the hot shots
at Netflix and it knows what's going on there and he says the
whole thing this this payment and all this thing that was way
it was reported was bold crowd I've talked about this before.
It was bullcrap. It was just a peering agreement, that they
wanted to appear differently and it was going to cost some money
to go through this other route. And it was that's where the
payment was all about. Yeah, and that was it. It was just a
peering deal. Yes. It was blown out of proportions by the media.
Yes. Well, no crazy analogy
specifically the technology media and I'm sick and tired of
them. I'm sick and tired like
yourself, though. Oh, watch me media I've said this before me
and corrupted Yeah. been corrupted. It's nobody's right
in and all the good tech writers are gone. They're all doing
something else. I'm having this shows podcast. Yeah. Doing this
podcast. And they're all it's just now great casually for PC
Magazine once a week.
And where's get around to where it's my fault. Go watch the yo
show when I'm not there. And you'll get to see what the
general
well how Was that my fault?
You haven't bitched and moaned,
well, I'm, I'm bitching and moaning. Now we're bitch and
moan at the GSA, but you don't care about me.
I love you. I am so sick and tired of everyone bid net
neutrality. You don't know what net neutrality is a bull crap
marketing term. And it's just bullcrap. The internet knows how
to route around these issues, and you're not going to, there's
not going to be like a like you won't be able to get no agenda,
you will definitely be able to get no agenda. Here's a question
on my mind about net neutrality. I hate you when it first cropped
up. Andrew or Loski, who writes for the register was the only
guy out there writing again. And the register still has good
writers that write about tech. And he was the first guy said,
this is a bogus issue. And it doesn't make any sense when you
really think about it. And he knew everyone was throwing
bricks at him. Yeah. And what the argument doesn't make any
sense goes, here's the net neutrality the way you want it,
if you want to boil it down, I have a Comcast connection. I can
pay extra for the business, Comcast connection and get
instead of my 30 mega bytes down, or 30 megabits or whatever
it is, I can get 100 If I pay more, isn't that right there?
The net neutrality argument in a nutshell, I pay more I get
faster speeds.
How come that that should be illegal by the net neutrality
concept. net net net neutrality, all speeds for the same price?
Well, yes, you're correct. Net Neutrality is a if anything is
being used exactly for that to tell you more. But what annoys
me is that it has nothing to do with the actual way the internet
works. Just because you have 30 megabits or if you have a
gigabit doesn't mean that you're going to get everything faster,
that it's that it's that you're always going to get something
from the other side of the world on a server somewhere in a
faster manner. It is absolutely it is not true. It is not how
the internet works. Without any net, what the net, but also,
this is I've heard Leo's argument about this. Bandwidth
should be one price, and it shouldn't, I should not have to
pay for more than I use. I'm like, You don't understand how
it works. The your your connection goes through a
router. You know, in a router, have you talk to these big Cisco
machines or the you know, there's a number of different
brands when the ports fill up. And that's really what these
guys are selling is port fees. But when the ports fill up and
when these routers have big computers, you have to buy a new
router, because everyone's sucking on the pipe and watching
Netflix. Someone has to pay for that. So this has nothing to do
with oh, they're going to only favour Disney movies. No, no,
you have anyone who says I had no idea how the internet works
now. Here's what I'm excited about. No one is talking about
the real news today. That came from the s from the FCC. And the
FCC is now proposing this comes out at the same time I've not
seen a single news article about this. They finally have proposed
the creation of the new citizens broadband Radio Service which
will run at three and a half gigahertz Now I bet you haven't
even heard about this.
Ah no. And the reason why I have but I didn't Well I
stumbled on it because I went to try and find anything about this
so called Net Neutrality outrage. Let's turn my Twitter
icon black. You watch is gonna happen morons. And I found This
this notice that the FCC is proposed three and a half
gigahertz which will be a similar to part 15 which means
you can sell transceivers in the three and a half gigahertz
frequency range with the same type of licencing is Wi Fi, ie
you know, you have to have a test to make sure that your
device is okay. And then you can just sell it what is cool about
three and a half gigahertz that is essentially the Wi max
frequency. And this will give a total throughput based on my
calculation as a licenced radio amateur professional
contradiction in terms 550 megabits per second. And this
with with wi max distance if you have the proper antenna, this is
very exciting to me. And this will allow for true mesh
networks, across cities, contract states etc. Now will
not be available in a lot of the eastern and western seaboard
regions because it's shared space with the Navy. But for
instance, in Texas, we will be able to route around a lot of
bullcrap and create our own networks. And the name says its
citizens band broadband Radio Service and it is essentially
the same frequency as wi Max. This is exciting to me. Why?
Why? Because you get to router. Wow, would I love to connect
directly to let's see maybe who's here we have the biggest
pipe available in in the country all comes into Texas, we have
huge data centres. Why would we even deal with Time Warner we
can we can mesh a network straight to every home in
Austin.
Well, I wish you luck.
You know, if we really run into trouble, and we only have one
provider of internet, I think it's
I think it's nice to have an alternative.
Texas already has a huge amateur mesh network running on Linksys
boxes that runs in really runs all over Texas now.
And what's it just for his voice? All voice though, right?
No,
no, it's data. It's all data, you connect to it with your
computer. And you can see any device that's connected to the
mesh, but also it's connected to the internet at several points.
What kind of speed are we talking about? Oh,
it's tremendous speed.
You know what's wrong with using that? Well, that
that is in a different band. That's amateur radio. But
essentially, you can do the same thing with this kid, this will
be the three and a half gigahertz, it'll be a range that
is permitted for anybody to use. I find that exciting. I'm not so
worried about this so called net neutrality, change your Twitter
icon to black. Because we have all of this takes care of
itself. The one thing that cannot be stopped is the
network. And that's my technology rant for today. So
that when you go and read some bullcrap and PC Magazine, by
Jane Kelly duty, whatever her name is, or tech news today or
tonight or whatever. Just bear in mind the people talking had
no even I struggled to understand how BGP really works,
and how these systems and peering and transit really
works. But if you're if someone's giving you the fast
lane tollbooth analogy, turn it off and send them a nasty email.
Someone has to give the information in
liking the toll booth analogy for and
you should write a column
I should I should take all the corn ball cliches like that. Oh,
there you go and put together a nice column that has them all.
Okay, here we go. So the toll booth What else can we do? Toll
Booth the fast lane, the Atlanta
diamond Lane dot h ov H O
V. So if you have more than three people in your household,
you get to use the fast service the fast lane you'll be oh we
need the triple A
about the passing lane. What can we do with that what's a passing
lane do basically will be like a boost. You get a an extra some
some you know when you get hit by one of these services from a
cloud service supplier and then you get inundated with requests
and that they give you more bandwidth they give you a little
small fee. How about how about speed checked by aircraft?
Yeah, well that's the that's the Facebook and Google bull crap Wi
Fi in the sky. Wi Fi in the sky or There you go. I've come up
with another one and bypass
the bypass the bypass route. The short answer is there's a bunch
of these roads
up to shortcut potholes. Potholes. potholes. Potholes in
the information superhighway.
And express lane I think the expressway will you pass up a
couple of things. Firstly, in fact, everyone in the express
lane would be like instead of bouncing chat room
helping the Time Warner Turnpike. Good one chat room.
Very good. Yeah, this is nice. Q o s is the passing lane quality
of service.
Oh, yeah. Good one.
Pull over the shoulder. Pull over the shoulder of the
superhighway fast lane.
You know there's no shoulder digital. No Show soft shoulder,
soft shoulder no shoulder digital roadkill.
We haven't had that one in a while. Commuter lane if more
than three people are watching Netflix
while we approve, you get pulled over for that?
No, we probably could pull a couple of articles from 1994.
However, what is a VPN? A VPN is a tunnel to tunnel bridge and
tunnel people.
Yeah, well, there's tunnels that you have to go through to get
from here to there. So that's not a that's not a that's an
obvious analogy.
Yeah, well, but if you could say bridge and tunnel users of the
superhighway packet loss would be
flat tire. Flat tire. Yeah, you're just running out of gas.
You can run out of gas.
The Tesla of the of the superhighway? We've got to work
on it.
Yeah, yeah. No, you can write some corny thing here. This
would be great.
BBC slipped up. And one of our producers caught this report.
The tag at the end of this story was left off of each subsequent
reports.
A group of MPs has said that British commanders were guilty
of complacency when Guardian Camp Bastion in Afghanistan in
2012, when two American servicemen was shot dead by the
Taliban. The Defence select committee said that the senior
officers had to be a degree of responsibility for the breach of
the bases perimeter, as guard towers were unmanned, and poppy
cultivation was allowed right up to the fence. Gee How does that
work?
So they left that tag part about the poppy culture off it gets
such a great report that they took that off. Yep. So it just
says the guard towers run man, period period. Wow.
Yeah. I love it. Hey, thanks, everybody, for letting us know
that. You you. You did have a chicken pox party as you were
growing up with a kid hopefully you got some of those emails or
did that
I got a couple of them. And it was like, you know, way past I'm
still sceptical. I think there's just in the minority. Yeah,
maybe there were a few. It was long after I was like the decade
after anything that I experienced when I was a kid. So
I'm not I'm still sticking to my guns on that.
I'm done. I have I have two drone clips. If you're
interested. No drones today. We did. We did kill 55. Me. Here's
how it works. Oh, really? You think you can parade around you
Taliban you AQ in the peninsula? You think you can put a YouTube
video out there? I'll take that. They killed 5050 guys
with a drone? Yeah.
Yemen. Now they always say that there's 50 Or that they only
drone high value targets. Yeah, I went to the Rewards for
Justice website.
Yeah, those guys. That was all the high value targets are on
that website.
You can't you can't find 50 Well, who did they kill?
I don't know. Maybe some noodle boys. I have no idea.
Then everyone Oh, they they killed the bomb maker. Well,
they're sending the DNA sending the DNA off to mate see if it
was the bomb maker. Now
the bomb maker. That guy has been killed two or three times
from what I can tell I have a good clip that if you want to
play something, this is just part of of a of a. A stick that
was on again ABC. And I realised again coming to the realisation
that native advertising can sometimes take the and you've
we've talked about this a lot where they plug in the case of
this zohydro We talked about this. They plug this thing in
awkward way by telling you how dangerous it is right. And this
ran on two different shows. One was, I think it was one good
Marriott, Good Morning America and the nightly news, it was
exact same report, the exact same guy. And I'm now beginning
to think because this was so long and they brought the expert
in. My clip is only the beginning of it. They brought
the expert in, and he went on and on and the next guy and they
show pictures of the pills. I tell you how. I'm now beginning
to think and this is just something that's in the back of
my mind, because of the my change in attitude about native
advertising, the Taco Bell, one in particular, and you're
starting to like it. No, no, I'm beginning to think that these
they are promoting the drugs. But I think that it's possible
that these are actually native advertisers that are paid for by
the drug companies. In other words, and it goes it would go
like this. We want to pay you.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Hello, ABC ad
department.
Yeah, this is Robert Zoloft. Hey, Zoloft. Yeah. All right.
zohydro is what our product is. And it's just this really is. We
want to
add Zoloft stuff was no good. You got anything new zohydro
Weird. zohydro.
You want to put a we want to pay for Yes. Here's that just listen
to me out.
Hold on a second. I have some avails for you in the I've
gotten the new.
Let me hear you hear this? I've
got the eight block. What do you got some right, you got an idea?
Okay, you got an idea. I'm listening. It's different than
what you're used to hearing. I'm listening. Okay. We want to pay
for the reporting on this particular drug we're bringing
up because the drug is so dangerous, that we will pay to
get the word out about how dangerous it is. It's kind of a
reverse native advertising is not quite the same. Because
we're not just paying you for to do some fluff, right? This is a
dangerous product. And we want to make sure it stays on the
market. And but we need we want to get these disclaimers out
there. So we'll pay for you. We also have a guide sheet, and we
also have a bunch of points. talking points that need to be
in here. I don't see that you guys do
you have? Do you have any experts you can bring in? We
have
one and we got a bunch of B roll. You got B roll you got
expert use your expert because he's worked with us before. It's
a good man.
Who do you want? Who do you want to work on? We have as nearby we
have our medical person would that be good? We got that. He
needs a limo and and he needs hair and makeup. For every
located location sheds.
Look, the cost is no odd.
Is it a location? Shoot? No, no, there's
all we want in studio in studio. Oh, okay.
Well, they didn't just needs a car from his house. We have the
we have the people for hair and makeup.
Not dollar right. Okay.
So I do have to price this, you know, obviously, at coverage
value. So that would be number. So this share we have we have a
15 Share. You're talking about the primetime slot. Yeah. Oh,
yeah. 15 share. And we have to add a billboard fee to that
because we're not going to do it. But it would be in place of
a billboard fee. And, of course, the host endorsement for doing
the actual piece. That'll be the high. Now
that's an interesting point. Because there's no host
endorsement involved here. There's a news story where the
host is not endorsing, but the hosts actually telling people
not to
do you want the host asking difficult questions, or do you
want them just to follow your script script that is a SAG job
sag AFTRA. The rate for that is $1,500 per day. So we do have to
do a full day rate for that. That's not a problem. Okay. All
right. So your total will be $175,000 for the first run. If
we repeat at night, we'll give you a deal and we'll do that for
35,000.
Okay, I'll get back to my people. It sounds reasonable.
Okay. All right.
Thanks for calling. And now, the result,
medical news and concern about a new painkiller that is 10 times
more potent than Vicodin and a synthetic can kill with just two
pills. So hydro was set to hit the market early this month. But
drug experts addiction experts are worried that it could
trigger a huge jump in overdoses and deaths. They're urging the
FDA to reconsider its approval. So let's bring chief health and
medical editor Dr. Richard Besser, in for more of this. Can
you tell us more about this drug? And is it really as potent
as these experts are warning? Hey, did you see the piece?
Did you see the piece?
Yeah, our sales looks good. Things look good. We're actually
we've got another piece that we want to do on how people are
going to kind of maybe transition to heroin. Oh, and
we're getting that subsidised by the government by the US
government. One of the agencies one of the three letter
agencies, you know what I'm talking? Yeah, of course, we
know who's going to help us out on that. And so I I'm gonna
refer you to somebody allows for future. Oh,
well you know, future I'm happy. I'm happy to give you 5% For any
referral of any new advertising you can I
want to give these guys a bigger discount and that's all I can
say right now I'm done with this campaign. You're gonna have to
talk to them. I'll send my secretary I'll send the name to
your secretary. We'll take care of it. Okay. Hello, hi. Is
this Arnold Schwarzenegger is Agent Hello. Hello. Hello.
Hello. Is this Arnold's agent?
Ah as Agent,
hey, Arnold's agent. Listen, we've got this campaign going
on. But it's a Showtime thing. And it's, it's all about climate
change. So you know, I do think the the governor could the
governor. You call him governor when you talk to him? Yeah,
yeah. Do you think we could get him to do like a little piece
for this Years of Living Dangerously? I mean, he will
profile them beautifully. We'll package it up we'll have him you
know hanging out with with forest firefighters and he can
promote his new electric car does he have does he says a
Tesla doesn't just have one of the original Tesla's so he can
promote that. How much for for like a one minute segment?
One minute. Let me take hold on a second. For this sort of thing
he's gonna want $50,000.50 Wow, that's quite a bargain.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's
a good deal. It's something he cares about.
And is that a buyout? We don't know. residuals?
No, no, no, always residual.
But it's, it's not a union gig. It's showtime.
We have our own contract. You have to sign it. The residuals
are 10%. Okay, every time it's shown as 5000.
And can we get him to do at least one of the catchphrases
from from one of his movies? Does he do all? 10,000? Can you
do it? I'll be back. No, wait. No, that's too hokey. Can you
do? Can you do something like he'll like terminate something
like terminate climate change something can is that 10,000?
You said
15. For that one.
Really? That's more than I'll be back.
I'll be back. It's been changed a brace now. 15 for that they're
all 50
Thank you, those governor, I've seen the tremendous changes over
the last few years, the amount of land that we have lost the
trees that we've lost the homes that we have lost lives that
have been lost. And it is to a large extent to global warming.
The only thing is, is that people don't pay that much
attention to it yet. Because I think the environmental
community has actually done a terrible job of selling that
aspect of it. Right now we are going stools through an economic
crisis and people say well we're gonna jobs is the most important
thing that economists the most important thing. So what we have
to do is we have to teach people if you environmentally friendly,
you can actually save money, you can create jobs, you can create
a green economy, you can have all of those things that the
actual shooting for each of you has an enormous opportunity to
fight climate change. And I promise you I will not stop
fighting. I will not stop campaigning around the world and
I would not give up until this crusade is successful. Join me
together we can terminate climate change wow
he really delivered that line
Yeah, we got a bill here for you
if you think it's any different in Hollywood than what we just
did then you've never been in Hollywood demanded up all right.
All right. ovitz Michael Ovitz back from back from the dead.
Thank you for listening for the past 12 hours. was almost, it
was almost a 12 hour show, man. We can't be doing this. Too much
value, I tell you.
Next show is two hours and 45 minutes max and I want a timer
on it. Okay.
All right. I'll remind you, because you
ran over on the pre vacation show. And then we did the
vacation show. And then we did this show. We've actually
probably produced more content than we would if we hadn't gone
on vacation.
Yeah, you're right. Wow. Well, then, just to make it all
perfect. I'm going to play the social media song as an end of
the show clip.
I have the whole thing it was no
no, no, no, no, no. Now that is not necessary. All right,
everybody. We'll be back Sunday more show than you can handle
please support us. divorce.org/na I salute you. I
salute you TSA. Hey you very much here in the capital of the
drone Star State in the morning everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm starting my chapter of
the Elizabeth Warren for President. Office. I'm John C.
Dvorak. We'll be back on
Sunday right here on no agenda. Look it up it's science.
Hey now y'all can we just get real? Do we really care about
our fans? Or is this just another deal Said another way
that we lost our way socials about the people remember we are
people do we really need another lifespan or share we need
another post to show up everywhere. I hope as we gather
that we never forget that I post live forever
