Well, things move fast in this world. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak.
Sunday, June 1 2014. It's time for your gizmo nation media
assassination episode six to two.
This is no agenda.
Barney Barney from FEMA Region six here in the traverse high
tide out in the capital of the drone Star State in the morning,
everybody.
I'm Adam curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where
the weather's turned bad. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Buzzkill.
I'm sorry to hear that. turned bad in what way?
It's like it was foggy and cold. Like this was not happen until
July. But we've had such a hot year so far that I guess we
moved everything up a month. Well, this normally speaking of
the cold weather moves in around July 1,
right. Well, you have June Gloom in Southern California. So that
kind of starts now. Yeah, well, we don't have that, which is. I
remember when we were there. It was horrible. The whole month of
June is misty and chilly.
Yeah, it just stays that way until September.
Yeah, that's why they call it June. gloom makes so much sense.
Ah, yes. Well, a lot of interesting things happening
here. Many an interesting thing. Yeah. And thank goodness, we're
here to dissect it for everybody.
Well, somebody's got to do apparently the mainstream media
is not going to do anything.
I've been getting a lot of messages from our servicemen and
women in the producers who listen to the show and
contribute about to Bowe Bergdahl.
Yeah, yeah, we got a very long note, a nice note from a
sergeant, Staff Sergeant in Afghanistan who sent the I guess
everybody knows what's going on. It's up to the American public.
Well, let me let me play. This is a little piece of the
President in the Rose Garden. Now all of this comes, of
course, amidst some other issues. The administration is
having, mainly with the with the VA of Veterans Assistance with
the scandal. And now of course, we had the director of the of
the VA resign. Yeah, they had guyson Sheki. Yeah. Which, by
the way, you you know, who was responsible for that, don't you
for the force of resignation? Who can't believe you didn't
know that Bernie Sanders tells us who had
been calling for some time for Shinseki to step down, or both
fired? Can he provide?
Well, Chris, some veterans groups have been and some
veterans groups have not. And I do understand the Republican
Party, the Koch brothers and others are putting money into
television.
Of course, the Koch brothers
didn't realise he got me down when I didn't know.
The Koch brothers. I can't believe you didn't know that.
Yeah, I didn't know the Koch brothers. Ella, here's the
here's the president. So there's lots of scandals and you want to
distract as much as possible. Now, of course, it was
interesting that President Obama went to Afghanistan, and Karzai
refused to meet with him. That is, of course, what we heard
whether that is true or not.
I have no idea but I think cars I was afraid of getting a Shiva
in the gut.
But this may have been to finalise this negotiation, which
by itself is very interesting. This morning,
I called Bob and Danny Bergdahl and told them that after nearly
five years in captivity, their son Beau is coming home. And
Sergeant Bergdahl has missed birthdays and holidays, and the
simple moments with family and friends, which all of us take
for granted. But while Beau was gone, he was never forgotten.
His parents thought about him and prayed for him every single
day, as did his sister Skye, who prayed for his safe return. He
wasn't forgotten by his community and Idaho, or the
military, and he wasn't forgotten by his country.
Because the United States of America does not
negotiate with terrorists
ever leave our men and women. Oh,
he didn't say that. But he used to just to say that,
let's listen to what he actually did.
As Commander in Chief, I am proud of the service members who
recovered cert Sergeant Bergdahl and brought him safely out of
harm's way. As usual, they performed with extraordinary
courage and professionalism, and they've made their nation proud.
Right now, our top priority is making sure that Bo gets the
care and support that he needs and that he can be reunited with
his family as soon as possible. I'm also grateful for the
tireless work of our diplomats and for the cooperation of the
guy I'm going to Qatar in helping to secure Bo's release.
We've worked for several years to achieve this goal. And
earlier this week, I was able to personally thank the Emir of
Qatar for his leadership in helping us get it done. As part
of this effort, the United States is transferring five
detainees from the prison in Guantanamo Bay to Qatar. The
Qatari Government has given us assurances that it will put in
place measures to protect our national security.
So it certainly seems like a deal was struck to me, John,
like we like we had some kind of negotiation with the Taliban who
I believe have been labelled as terrorists. They're the enemy
for sure. And we negotiated a settlement with them
with the enemy, though with a terrorist. Yeah, we'll share it
with terrorists. Yeah,
this seems to be contrary to what we always have said we do
or don't do.
Well, which brings me to the you wish I could I read the long
when the long note from one of our donors for today's show, and
when you skip it when we get to it? Yeah. This is I want to read
this. This is a
Yeah, it's the H MF. I see is what he calls himself.
Yeah. And this is a it came in from Santa Rosa. And he's this
is very interesting to everybody that listens to this show been
listening to the show for a few years now. First time donating
him as Army Staff Sergeant and veteran of Afghanistan, I felt
the need to come in with my first donation in the amount of
$500 to ensure my note gets read and that both of you as well as
the no agenda nation knows I am putting my money where my mouth
is with what I'm about to say. The nose broke the nose. Broke.
The news broke today that PFC Bo Berg Gotti or Bergdahl sorry,
get it I'm just getting started. Just just rampid just getting
warm. Does suppose that pow was released to us custody today
following in exchange for five high value targets from Gitmo
aside from the fact that a precedent had been set now that
all US troops downrange are worth five Taliban effectively
putting a fat, big fat target on them for capture, and that the
US does in fact negotiate with terrorists. In fact that the
true nature of how he came to be in Taliban custody has been
completely wiped whitewashed by the media. It makes me sick to
my stomach. I refer to him as PFC Private First Class, as that
is the rank he was when he deserted when you are officially
classified as a POW you get promoted along with your peers
and I refuse to refer to him as a sergeant because he did not
earn these, these goddamn stripes. I was deployed in
Afghanistan supporting PFC Bergdahl unit when all this went
down and we got the story firsthand from his fellow
soldiers. The short version is that PFC Bergdahl deserted his
unit and his fellow soldiers and attempted to defect to the
Taliban, and pass them all the Intel he had. He wrote letters
stating he was ashamed to be an American dressed up as a local
national and left his gear and weapon and his hooch. He's then
snuck off the fob Forward Operating Base during the shift
change and was snatched when he met up with enemy forces
thinking he would welcome that they would welcome him with open
arms, and the immediate operation to find him everything
stopped and all resources were put to locating him over 12 US
troops were killed in action and dozens wounded in the attempt to
find him. Seeing the flurry of Facebook posts and news stories
falling all over themselves to fonit His return forget the
facts outlined above Take it or leave it you can believe the
media and the government or you can believe those that were on
the ground when it happened. Just wanted to know agenda
nation, they hear my perspective. Then he adds a
couple more comments which you would get truncated so they
don't make any sense. But I think that's what
I have the truncated finish reading what is interesting is
that why now after five years when they could have made this
exchange at any time is this done? Oh, I don't know. Perhaps
the VA scandal reaching a critical mass and spoke so corny
and shit Seki Yes, I spelled it wrong on purpose resigning, the
president needed a win and desperately needed to change the
focus of the news cycle. Watch. He says by Monday the deplorable
conditions veterans experience in the VA will be a footnote,
and the entire focus will be on PFC Bergdahl. Nevermind the 23
veterans that commit suicide every 24 hours Nevermind the
veterans left to die so administrators can get their
bonuses. nevermind the fact that they just attempt to medicate us
instead of treating us. Let us all just focus on feeling good
because a treasonous trader was brought home. I digress. In
closing, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate what you
guys do. I love my country and have spent the last 13 years in
uniform service with many more to come. I encourage my soldiers
to listen to no agenda and question everything, to not take
someone else's word for what is true, but to research and think
and arrive at their own conclusions. Once all angles
have been examined. I tell them if they are prepared to give
Everything, including their life or their country, they need to
understand exactly what that sacrifice means. And that is
from Rhm fic, which is military speak for head motherfucker in
charge. And he will be an executive producer on episode
622. And we thank him for his courage.
And that was a very nice note very interesting and insightful
and it's not vetted. But you can you know, after you do this for
a while, it makes nothing but sense what he says. And when you
see the first picture, this guy
looks like a Taliban beard. Well, his father shaved his
father. See if I have this here, I don't have it clipped. But he
was speaking to his son and Pashto because Bo apparently is
having trouble speaking English at the moment, because I guess
he only speaks Pashto Taliban ease. But there's another email
going around, which I'm not going to read in, in full. But
I've received this from multiple sources, also from agent orange
in the Netherlands, who as you know, is a it's connected
through the service there. And it is a similar note. And even
has the names of the servicemen K aid, looking for Bergdahl. And
that's been doing the rounds. So you'll see that one for sure.
But this was, yeah, not vetted. But why do we have any reason to
doubt it? 00 reason to
doubt. It's like the Benghazi situation, these guys are just
into cover up mode. But I think this was a blunder of the
highest order once this gets out. I mean, I just seems as
though this administration, like all the previous administrations
is completely divorced from reality. Not anybody take these
ideas, and we ready to have a meeting you what you think,
because they having meetings all day, and say, what's the worst
that can happen if we do this?
I guess not. And I would, I would think it's very possible
that they had this meeting, hey, let's do this. It'll be great.
And I think that's when Carney said, oh, yeah, I'm not going to
stand up there. And defend that. Yeah.
I mean, why would you?
Yeah, no, Carney May. Yeah. Could that may be the reason it
currently quit. And it's just I'm gonna have to deal with the
questions. Because Can you imagine, you know, because this
is already going around. It's on our show, we got a very
elaborate explanation.
But a homeless a servicemen, who has been in the middle of
Afghanistan veteran who is actively serving is willing to
promote this message, by supporting the show is not an
insignificant amount of money. This has got to tell you
something.
Yeah, and you have to assume that this is the feeling that
you are if it's like anything else, I mean, these guys all
know what's going on, at least in the area around where this
happened. And they get and they get the word out. And then it
comes back and ends up being a question by somebody in the
press conference. And Carney would have to answer this deal
with this and have to either lie or fumble around. Yeah, this is
the time to leave. I'm out here. Let's see, I've
taken enough flak. Let the junior guy do it. Yeah. Bring
him in.
Yeah, he doesn't. He's gonna be there for long, just poor
bastard. Man. Guy. This is actually going to be quite funny
to watch it for next Thursday show we should have some the
fireworks should have begun by then.
Well, I don't know if I didn't pay any attention to any of the
Sunday talk shows. I don't know if it's coming up or not of
these. Of course, they're all taped on Friday.
I think this will not begin to appear to Tuesday or Wednesday.
We're just ahead of everybody as usual, you
know. So now we need to set something off. We need it. We
need a real distraction. Quick
to move it away from it's not it's not scheduled. No, no,
but it could be it's not an FBI distraction. We need aid. Who
cares? Some kind of distraction is necessary now.
Yeah, some big one. Like a drone strike in Los Angeles we have
now I'm sad though. I'm sad to see Jay Carney go I don't know
if this new guy is funny. Can we make fun of him?
We've seen him we've had clips from him. He's really He's
really like a like alert kind of character. He's very, you know,
he's just dead dead up there. He's not interesting.
I think it would be much more fun to move Marie Harf over from
I stuck. It would be great. I wish now we get another Josh.
Josh. Luckily, George Clooney is moving into politics. Yeah,
that's not going to go anywhere. Do you think this is? I think
that's a distraction of the weekend. Yeah, I gotta agree.
For that felt kind of weird? I don't know.
I don't know, all I know is there's been a lot of baffling
stuff going on. So I have a couple of things I want to get
out of the way, which is this thing that's been bothering me.
And it turns out by listening to C span, I had the things fix. I
now know what it is.
I know exactly what you're talking about. I think you
tweeted about this.
Yes, I know the name of it. This week, this is the things I've
had been building up is that the strippers have had their Chase
bank accounts closed. And porn business and the webcam girls
and girls, they've lost their bank account, essentially
all the good stuff. And let's, let's be very honest, webcam
girls and podcasters not that far apart when it comes to
business model.
Yes, the same thing can happen to any by anybody. Yeah. And
then the the other thing that would coincidentally what would
nobody made the connection, which is that the pot growers in
Washington State and the pot dealers cannot get a bank
account. The Washington State's got a big scandal going, nobody
can get a bank account there. So well, I'll do a cash business. I
don't care. But that's, you know, they can get loans. They
can't do anything. And this is happening in Colorado, too. But
to a lesser extent, Washington is where they're doing the
experiment. And it all began with this thing. Turns out was
Operation choke point. And it began with the FBI deciding
because the nobody seems to be able to legislate against any of
this stuff, deciding to crack down on payday loan companies,
by by eliminating the possibility that they can use
banking services, taking them out of the financial system. And
this is, this is actually something that
how exactly does that work? Can you explain the flow of the
payday loans? how that how that system works?
Well, the payday loans thing is, you know, is obviously just a
scam to get you to get an advance on your check. And then
you'd have very expensive interest rates, you have to pay
it back the next week. But the take you out of the banking
thing works easily. I mean, I buy if I'm three, do we take
three FBI guys, we walk into mechanics bank, want to see the
manager, were very concerned about the Adam curry, John
Dvorak accounts?
Very, very concerned because they're negative.
Now, seriously, they go in and they say we would we would
appreciate if you cooperated with us and just tell them that
their accounts are closed? What is the bank guy going to do? Now
they're working. According to this testimony, they're also
working with the FDIC. So and so they can say, Bring the
insurance because, you know, you might lose your FDIC, you know,
certification or whatever. But anyway, so they're doing this to
various entities. There's only five articles I can find on on
this so far in the news, and it be and actually cracked into the
Congress in January of this year when Darryl Eisah demanded to
see a list of all the businesses that are going to be part of
this. As far as I can tell, there's nothing Oh, there's one
congressman who's the guy that's going to be speaking here. He
has ad businesses that he or ad types of businesses that he
knows that they're doing this for, and here is operation choke
point
for persons from Missouri rise. The Sherman have an amendment
the desk, clerk will report the amendment.
And then offered by Mr. luetkemeyer of Missouri at the
end of the veil before the short title, insert the following
section. None of the funds made available in this Act may be
used to carry out operation choke point
preserved to have sorted St. Joseph, Missouri.
Mr. Meyer and a member oppose release control five minutes.
The chair recognises the gentleman from Missouri for five
minutes. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. How's the federal
government get rid of an industry it simply doesn't like
the easy it cuts that industry off from the Financial Services
it needs to operate? sound impossible? Sure does. However,
that's exactly what the department justice is doing in
conjunction with the FDIC. This programme even has a name.
Operation choke point, is designed to force legally
operating and licenced entities out of business by choking them
off from financial services they need. And what started with non
depository lenders is spreading to other industries. Many
reports indicate that DOJ is now pressuring financial
institutions that service the gun and ammunition industries.
As a former Bank, examiner, and banker, I know how they're using
the power of their position to intimidate the banks and
undermine the bank's ability to serve their customers who are
doing illegal business. It's just plain wrong, Mr. Chairman,
however, I want to be very clear, I strongly support DOJ
has authority to go after the bad actors. Those actions should
be commended and should not be inhibited. But what cannot be
tolerated is the federal government using its authority
to broadly target entire industries including those that
obey the law and are living within the rules. The staff
report just released the Oversight Committee summarises
853 pages of internal DOJ jokic documents. Many of these
internal documents show that even DOJ officials questioned
the legality of their actions. And yet, they continue. This
isn't Republican or Democrat issue. This isn't a conservative
liberal issue. This is an issue of DOJ stepping outside the law.
We worked on a bipartisan basis to inform DOJ and other
regulators of the unintended consequences of Operation choke
point. But those concerns have fallen on deaf ears. As a
result, this bipartisan amendment is an important step
to ensuring the DOJ can continue to do its job, but makes clear
the department must not abuse its authorities. And with that,
Mr. Speaker, I yield two minutes to my good friend from Colorado,
Mr. Perlmutter.
Yeah, I'd also heard that it was also spreading to the gun and
ammo industry, which is probably more what it's about than
anything.
Well, that's when they got everybody's attention because
those guys have some some chops and who growers don't.
Do we have a Do we know who instigate is it just Department
of Justice that instigators shareholder Yeah.
This is an example of law enforcement, laziness. This is
the donut phenomenon. They go is looking for donuts, red lights
and sirens every time one goes by I've always say
he's got lunch, lunch is still warm. Instead of
really doing law enforcement, they decided to cheat. This is
cheating. This is what they enjoy doing. That's why the NSA
is in bed with them. Because it's so cheap. It's a cheap way
to you know, why should we have to go through the trouble and
rigmarole of actually doing our jobs? If we can cheat and get
away with it and get the same? Get the results we're after we
want to get rid of these porn chart girls. Marijuana is a
horrible it's going to ruin the country. Guns are killing
people.
Right. But the difference is that law enforcement are not
webcam girls are not necessarily operating illegally nor are
armed. No,
neither is payday loans. That's another problem. And that has to
be resolved through legislation or something else. You can't
just do this. I mean, even the payday loans thing as bad as it
is it's horrible operation. You can't bust them by by by by
choking them off like this. This is totally illegal. So here we
go. The guy from Colorado comes up never mentioned marijuana,
which is what he's really talking about, because that's
the problem that the states are having Colorado rushing, right
and he comes up and he's the Democrat. This was a Republican
amendment. A Democrat comes up so he comes up and says this
gentleman is two minutes.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Mr. luetkemeyer.
I just had to say to Meijer in Dutch is actually is a slang
word for hooker.
Was this actually is this know what the name is, though? It's
Luke Domeier. It
sounds like to me or I'm sorry. It's funny.
I supported the original 10 intent of Operation choke point
which sought to restrict online payday lenders usually operating
from overseas from lending to states that prohibit payday
lending. But the programme expanded and is now being pushed
well beyond its stated objective. Eliminating fraud and
illegal transactions from our nation's payment system should
continue to be a priority for the Department of Justice, and
other federal regulators but employing a dragnet to companies
engaged in legitimate business activities is wrong. State
Banking commissioners have also expressed concerns the federal
agencies are attempting to deny a central banking services to
lawful state licence firms, Operation choke point pressures
banks to close accounts and stop processing payments for those
businesses that pose a reputational risk. What is
happening here is this approach, this dragnet approach causes
chilling effect on legitimate businesses and legitimate
banking services. And as a consequence, going after bad
guys, the department justice needs to do that, but not in
such a broad all inclusive way to chill legitimate business.
And that's why I support this amendment and ask for an aye
vote. And I'd yield back to the gentleman from Missouri.
I guess the the main question I have is did the amendment pass?
Well, we'll get to that in the third part of the clip the last
clip. Now, I want to point out something that the FBI this
would make sense from a historical perspective at a
corporate culture perspective. You remember, the FBI was
largely formed during the Prohibition Era to crack down on
bootleggers and the the only way they could get Al Capone is not
through actual law now was on tax evasion or tax evasion,
which was a cheap that was pre Rico's just tax evasion, plain
tax evasion. It was a cheap trick because and I think that's
in the in their DNA and their DNA. It's a cheap trick. And
that's what they're trying to do with these things. They don't
like you know, I don't we don't want You know, the FBI doesn't
like the legalisation of marijuana in Colorado and
Washington. So let's use a cheap trick to make their lives
miserable or sexuality. It's in your DNA. So here's the third,
the third part. Now we have two douchebags who come out, I want
to call the both of them out that say, Yeah, we don't want to
pass this. Maybe we should do it some other way. One is Frank
Wolf from Virginia Republican, told douche bag and then there's
this guy, Chaka Fada black guy who sounds drunk all the time.
He's a Pennsylvania Democrat, and he is thinks it sucks to
have this bill passing now or you'll have this amendment. So
here we go.
gentleman yields back, Joe from Missouri.
Yes. With that, Mr. Chairman, I just want to close by saying I
appreciate the gentleman Colorado support. This is a
agency that's gone well beyond the scope of its authority, it
even questions its own authority and its own internal internal
memos. The original intent is questionable, but at this point,
it's gone well beyond even the original intent. There now is
even a list of other industries to go after. So I think that
this is a situation where we need to stop what's going on.
And I think my amendment clearly sets out what needs to be done
without a yield back. My time
Jimmy goes back to Bell says a time
Zilla from Virginia rice director requisite number of
words, Jim was recognised for five minutes, I rise in
opposition to the amendment consumer and financial fraud are
major crimes in the country in front investigations are a
matter of high priority for the FBI. And, you know, I just think
this issue ought to be addressed by the committee of
jurisdictions. In this case, the Judiciary Committee. Also the
FBI Financial Services Committee, we do hear stories of
outside of military bases, veterans being exploited. And so
I'm just concerned of what it actually means. And I think it
ought to be looked at by the committee of jurisdictions, and
not by the appropriation committee and lived 15 tonight,
so for that reason, I oppose the amendment. gentleman yields
back. I yield back. gentleman yields back. gentleman from
Pennsylvania. Chairman.
Chairman, may be familiar, but not in our bill. Not at this
time, because we don't completely understand it.
John is back his time all time expired for search perceiving
the questions on the amendment offered by the gentleman from
Missouri, all those in favour say aye. Aye. All those say no.
Penny, the chair the eyes have it and the amendment is agreed
to Oh, okay.
Yeah, no. Even Money that this will not end up in the final
write up. Oh, that's
possible. And this was the I think, because I saw some of the
same. It was a very long session. They did.
Oh, yeah. And like I said, this was at 1115. At night.
Yeah. And Wasn't this the like the 215 2015? Commerce, justice,
budget? And science spending bill? Yeah, exactly.
So the Justice Department is in there. So they could put that in
there. But I for the old FBI base anything is? Well,
there was another amendment that was put in and passed. And I
have the reading of that amendment amendment number 100
entered by Grayson who I have
graces to now
go ahead. Go ahead. You got to set up I
think I think I just got a short I got the great the first part
of Grace's thing and then I have the second part where were they?
Again this this guy fat at checkout, whatever his name is
the shuttle icon. Chaka Khan from and it comes on Blabs are
right about it. But yeah, you can play pretty short so that
maybe it'd be Yeah, here it is.
A gentleman from Florida rise.
I have an amendment at the desk Grayson number 100.
The Clerk will report the amendment. Follow this we'll
find this we'll do the other 99 Just kidding, just
kidding. JK, JK.
And then an alphabet. Mr. Grayson,
when you make a joke as a joke, just kidding and then mumble.
That's the hallmark of a bad joke. Everybody has a Kinect.
amendment offered by Mr. Grayson of Florida at the end of the
bail before the short title add the following new section
section. None of the funds made available by this act may be
used to compel a journalist or reporter to testify about
information or sources that the journalists or reporters states
in a motion to quash the subpoena that he has obtained as
a journalist or reporter and that he regards as confidential.
Pursuant to the order of the house today, the gentleman from
Florida and a member oppose each control five minutes. Chair
recognises gentleman from Florida.
I regret bringing this up at 1030 at night. I apologise for
that because this is a waiting Matter, and I think it deserves
fair consideration. I hope that we're not all too tired to deny
this question, the attention that it deserves. The purpose of
this amendment is to raise the possibility of a federal shield
law that corresponds to shield law already in place in 49
states, but not at the level of the federal government.
Yeah, um, so so it's very simple to understand how this works.
Because it is essentially approving the entire budget for
the justice system, that no money and I eat, no one in the
justice system can you can go after journalists for their
sources that essentially is the idea of the messy
idea, but I wanted to do it Hey,
high school, high school, everybody. Three, three months
of college.
I want to mention something interesting is Alan Grayson, if
you remember, even when we first started doing this show was the
enfant Terry blog.
He was a little douchey though he's not a big Democrat Party
years ago. He was always on this and that he had one liners and
snide comments, and he was really funny. And something
happened. And I don't know where he's putting his place or
whatever. He doesn't say anything anymore. And he looks
like crap. Like, beat up. He's got a weird balding pattern on
his head, which is nerves.
Well, it can be thyroid, or it can be something else. Yeah, it
could be nerves.
True. Whatever the case. He's not the same guy who was so he
introduces the simple bill, which we know is different than
the one they've been trying to get through, which is more
complicated. Well, of course,
the the the amendment and I went in and look and I got the exact
text of the amendment, which is exactly what the what the clerk
read. Of course, the question is, what is your definition of a
journalist? That's what we're most interested in that is not
defined by this amendment right?
They would this would not get very far. But meanwhile, the
same douchebags especially this this joker, Chaka, Fatah, Chaka
Khan, who's in there, and he's I don't think so we should, this
is not the place to do this. I mean, anything to just, I have
another clip from him later, that just shows you what what a
what a total douchebag he is. But so he comes on and objects
to this and then and then we get to a very interesting little
ending to the to the vote,
it's time to vote on this. After 42 years since the Supreme Court
first addressed this, we do not have this body on record as
saying whether or not there should be a federal shield law.
I understand the reservations that have been expressed. But
the fact is the time is now and that the reporters in this
country have waited long enough. It's time to be fair and and
show fealty to the First Amendment and to pass this
amendment tonight.
gentleman yields back. Yes. gentleman yields back. The
question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from
Florida. Those in favour say aye. Aye. Those opposed say no.
And the opinion of the chairs the know has it the amendment is
not agreed to
Oh, yes. For recorded Yeah.
Pursuant to clause six or rule 18 further proceedings on the
amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida will be
postponed
it passed though no no it didn't pay did put under the recorded
vote. I'm
John. Did they finally do that postponed recorded vote because
that was on Wednesday.
I have it here. did pass. Yeah. Have it here. 225 yeas to 183
Nays.
Oh, good. I didn't know that. I know they're right there. They
put it off. And they put a lot of these off and I think that's
actually I thought it was kind of corny but they did it for
both sides. They said we'll postpone it's for the bigger
group to vote on and I thought that was actually a way to move
it along because there's nothing more annoying than the guys do a
yea nay vote and somebody says I'd like to see a recorded vote
and then they just waste time doing a recorded vote when it's
you know, they can put it off when there's even more people
there. So I know thing but anyway, so this get this joker
this the guy that bugs me Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan. He was they
start talking about did you see the internet amendment?
i Yeah, that's about no you can't no money to be spent
blocking ICANN or is a
no money to be spent. This year this was to move the the some of
the governance to an international body we talked
about on the show a couple of times. And so somebody one of
the guys comes up as actually two Republicans come on said we
don't think that we don't think that we should spend any money
on this. In other words, stalling the process, which is
what I icon would would like I'm sure and this guy comes out and
he goes into a tirade that is borderline, Ted Stevens dad
syringe of tubes of the internet. Now,
this is this is what I have this House vote nine managing
internet domain names. Do you have the reading of the bill? I
can read it of the amendment. I can read it real quick. You can.
The amendment would bar funding to end the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration is
responsible 84 administering the internet domain name system. And
that's it.
Yeah, so these are short. Now we can just skip that. Just assume
that we know all that first part, you can skip that clip and
go to the internet amendment idiot clip where this guy goes
on and he blames it all on the Republicans and you know, the
Republicans and Obama.
No, no, no, no, no, that's not who's to blame.
The administration has botched consultations over the
transition of the duties. At the NTIA, we cannot allow countries
to use their influence to stifle speech and Commerce on the
internet. This amendment will give us more time to ensure we
get this right. I yield back.
Gentleman's time for his constant has expired. For our
purposes, gentleman from Pennsylvania rise.
I can't wait in opposition to this amendment recognised five
minutes the process that the gentleman seeks to intervene and
with this amendment started some 16 years ago, no, like the
congressional record to reflect this. That apparently if a
presidential election doesn't go in the right direction, the
other team's notion is, is to yank all of the authority away
from the person who did win. Unfortunately, not democracy
doesn't work like that. So when they're not calling for some and
by
the way, why did you say unfortunately, because he'd like
to do that. Is that what he's saying? Like, unfortunately,
doesn't work that way. I wish we could Yank all
that number the cabinet to resign or doing something else
to intervene and the President's authority. They have these
theories. What is new theory is that Obama has concocted some
strategy to turn over the Internet to our enemies. This is
a process 16 years ago.
Yeah.
The commie is trying to get the internet to the other Commons.
That's what it's all about.
In through the Bush administration, the Clinton
administration. It is a process having to do with what we might
want to call the yellow pages for the internet.
I have the internet Yellow Pages book, the official new riders
official internet Yellow Pages, published by NRP. Yeah, and that
was in 1990 90. I
think, I don't know 90 by 9394. Well, hold
on a second. I got it right here. And this is I'm reading
from the cover. If you haven't realised what the internet has
to offer, you will now MCI sole corporate sponsor, as easy to
use as the phonebook with over 10,000 entries. Let's look in
the let me see here. This is us MCI Mail to take your inspired
idea to the internet. Test your message with virtual global
focus group. Wow. Okay. The year was I'm looking into frontier.
Oh, 94. Yeah, later, and I thought okay, nailed it. Yeah,
yeah. No, 93 nail is no
reason I know that is because there's a huge controversy over
that book and another Yellow Pages book. They were both
titled the same. And people really? Yeah, they were McGraw
Hill had the other one. And I was working for them at the
time. And it was about 94. And they were they're whining and my
wife some columns about this just just just ridiculous
situation. But the problem is, is that people don't know that
titles of books are not copyrightable. I didn't know
that. Now, is there an archive? So you could actually have the
same title? You know, Warren east by one.
But I think the Yellow Pages in general is such a protected
brand that that's it was more just about, you know, the yellow
pages because people were really worried they thought that there
would be a business in the Yellow Pages.
Yeah, well, she about this book about the two of them that
again, they were competing with each other then new writers
wanted it was more successful
anywhere. It's gonna be worth money one day this book. No,
yes. Onward. Yes. My grandchildren will say, Grandpa,
grandpa Adam,
here's a my opinion. I've said this to the kids. If you started
collecting real Yellowpages books, about 19 5060 or 70, or
whatever, and you just kept them all. You'd be 100 air a bit, a
big pile of them. These things will be valuable because people
have thrown out all the most of the books have been thrown out.
There's very few yellow, how many people do you know would
have except an archivist would have a car. I don't have one by
the way, but it would have a copy of the 1982 San Francisco
Bay.
But this is my point. Well hold on a second. Having a copy of
the 1994 Internet Yellow Pages Come on. It's it's a ridiculous
concept. No, it's
totally ridiculous. It might.
It might be with you. It'll be worth something. It's the bucks
maybe some way What else? Well, all right, it'll be a car
payment. Oh, maybe not. No won't be our
main names and how people can create their addresses on the
internet.
Yeah, that's it. Wow, this guy's fabulous is this Chaka Khan
again? Yes, this guy is
just a bonehead. Hi, you should be ashamed of yourself.
The theory of internet was they have no government in control
government
income is that the theory of the internet the theory of the
internet no have no government income. I hated that to be
mocking a black voice. But come on Chaka Khan. This is This
sucks.
That Chamber of Commerce in the United States of America has
been one of the major proponents of this. I don't
want this to be true, by the way. Ah,
and I don't know if you know, the Chamber of Commerce, really
is still owns the system. If you really look at the, at the
ownership structure. I've gotten a lot of notes from guys that
write and the AMA or the anfal or whatever. And it's a little
it's a little more complicated than most people understand. But
Department of Commerce still has a big hand in this. But I'm not
sure if they actually do want to
what the Department of Commerce isn't the Chamber of Commerce.
I'm sorry. He said Chamber of Commerce. Yeah. Oh, moron. No,
and I
don't believe that anyone on the other team would suggest that
somehow.
What team?
Republicans? Oh, that's
a team. That's a team now.
Yes, team a team?
They are. They have concocted this scheme with the President
to to have us empower the Syrians of someone with control
of the internet
Oh, hold on. Hold on a second. Stop all trains. Before we go
one step further. I need to give it to the Syrians will have
control of the internet. I got to hear that again. That is this
is your government government at work. Ladies and gentlemen, this
is beautiful.
To to have us in power. Where was that guy? Give it back. And
I don't believe that anyone on the other team would suggest
that somehow they are they have concocted this scheme with the
President to to have us in power the series of someone with
control of the internet you gotta be
I gotta take it in for a moment. The Syrians are being controlled
on the internet. Muhammad put away that chlorine gas. We've
got to add some domain names. That's as
far as you need to go. Is there more or not? That's pretty much
peaks. is incoherent.
Love it. That's pretty funny.
What a douche knuckle. Oh, my word.
So I don't know whether or not but because that that same thing
happened only he objected. And one at account. They said Now
we'll put it off and they fight when you when they did the other
one. They did this one. So I never know how I don't know how
it came out
that team thing that he said is also very, very peculiar.
Yeah, the other team? Yeah.
I found it. I found the guy to be a very, was not just not a
not a good representative of any.
What What state does he represent
Pennsylvania? Well,
good on your PA. It is, of course, the start of a new
month. John. That means we have a slew of proclamations from our
president.
You know, what's funny is I actually one of these things is
so important. I have to go look at it, that it showed up
automatically on my Google Calendar. Oh, yeah. Let me take
a look at this. It's
I know which one it is then. No, you don't have the idea. You
think? Yeah. Well, let me read them off. And then you tell me
no, wait,
wait, I just want to do this first, because I think it'd be I
want you to guess
it showed up automatically on your Google Calendar. So Google
is adding things to your calendar that's not appropriate.
Okay. This is you'll never get this in a million years and it's
got nothing to do with Obama. It's Canadian environment week.
It's not a it's not by presidential proclamation. So it
doesn't go
into like my whole calendar has got a big line through it says
Canadian environment week. I didn't subscribe to this. I do
not have subscribed to holidays. But that's not a holiday.
I find that to be a quite a gross violation. No. What's
next?
What's next?
I actually I looked at these next on my calendar. Oh, I
want to tell you so. I out. That was almost The Disasters move. I
have the the Nexus seven tablet here. And I was keep talking
about it. Yes. I kind of like it. Okay. And here is. So I was,
you know, I'd said all you have to upgrade a couple of apps,
right? And I went into Google Calendar, hit update and doing
it now hit update. And it gives you this list of permissions
that you're going to give this app. And this is the Google
Calendar, which I use Google Calendar, not on this tablet,
but I said I might as well just instal it, when I look at the at
the, at the permissions. And I presume that you cannot change
these permissions of the app. So new to the permission is
approximate location. I know why it's doing this. Obviously,
that's for Google Now, which I do not use. So approximate
location, which I presume unless I turn off all location. And
then it's even questionable if you're really turning it off.
System Tools, right? Subscribed feeds, whatever that means.
network communication, full network, access your personal
information, add or modify calendar events, and send email
to guests without owner's knowledge, read Calendar events
plus confidential information. Well know what app is this? This
is Google Calendar app. Then your social information, read
your contacts. Well, no, I understand they needed maybe to
invite people but no, no. To your accounts, find accounts on
the device, read Google service configuration, and view
configured accounts. I don't know what that means. But, you
know, modify, modifying and adding calendar events and send
email to guests without my knowledge. No,
no, I didn't know that was that they want to set so Google
Calendar, you're telling me that based on you actually doing some
work when you get one of these screens instead of just saying
yeah, yeah, I'm annoying like that. So you actually looked at
this, and you've discovered, again, tell me if I'm wrong. I
don't know if it's a big discovery. But well, you've
discovered for yourself that Google wants to send unsolicited
email to your contact list.
Well, it's not saying they're approving it, it does not saying
it wants to but the way I read it sounds like to me the way the
way I read it, it is possible they could do this. So thanks.
So it could say would you like to celebrate Canadian Awareness
month with John C. Dvorak meet him here. And I certainly don't
like the find approximate location.
Now. Well, I only use Google Calendar on the computer. Yeah,
that's where I keep no contact lists on it. Yeah. But my phone.
And so I was just kind of thinking when this hit me. I'm
like, What happened to just giving me a calendar? Just a
calendar that I can just like, you know, store entries in a
calendar. I don't need you to do all this calendar, which of
course, exists. I mean, it's not it's not hard. We don't need to
use Google Calendar. You can you can get a you can put something
on a web server somewhere and use your own calendar. And most
people you know, you can instal it it every app this is my
problem with these Aram every app. Yes, yeah, they've had it
for a while. Yeah, go into terminal and type c a l. Every
app has to have all this back end stuff. You know, I was doing
some work. A lot of because I was complaining about dog
catcher, dog poop as I call and a lot of people would give me
different ideas about you know, apps that you could use for for
subscribing to podcasts. And there's a tonne of like putting
I put them in the last show show notes. And you can route through
that and find at 621 but I tried out cuz I got an email for some
reason. You never know if people subscribe me to this. And I got
an email from the CEO of Stitcher, radio. And Stitcher
Radio has now moved over to they're doing their ad placement
through Google, because they you know, there are a lot of
complaints. And I'm like, What are these complaints? Well, the
main complaints are, and I didn't know this. If you start a
podcast, like our podcast, you'll hear an ad first and
audio ad if you stop it, somewhere midway and then you
start it again, instead of starting immediately, you hear
another ad. Now I find it dubious at best that they're
taking our otherwise freely available non commercial content
and inserting ads to pay for their app. You know, I'm not
going to complain about it, whatever. I find it annoying,
and I'm sure people will find it annoying. But that's not really
the point of why I'm bringing this up. So I installed this
just to see the experience DNS, and it opens up and I say, hey,
wow, no agendas here and congressional dish. And I'm
like, How does this work? How to and then it turns out this app,
when I installed it, I gave it permission to look at other
preferences of other apps. And it stole my list from
dogcatcher. You know, so is this the kind of stuff so you may
have, you may be granting an app privileges to something that you
that you think is actually private? You understand what I'm
saying? Oh, yeah, da that's what happens is just an app that just
does something it doesn't have to communicate secretly on the
back.
Attack. All that stuff is like, been scammed. The promises over
there did revolution is done. It's Facebook revolution, the
revolution.
Privacy, it wasn't televised. But did we barely even got to
write about it. Evolution is done. All right. Very
depressing. Yes. someone's
story comes out. They're all this is this story of yours. I
mean, if you listen to a bunch of these other guys, yeah,
they're all just roll. It's everything's great. We got a new
phone and it's yellow. You get that? But then he sends those.
This is just horrible. What's going on? It's just a very
negative yellow phones not withstanding
yellow phone. What are you talking about?
Oh, your phones. Your new phone? Oh, it's yellow.
He's got a new phone is yellow. You mean actually the colour
yellow. Okay. Yellow phone. So it's just that to me, it's just
wow, this is just disturbing. There's no reason for all this.
It's,
you know, it looks good to just what they did fling it at this
idiot venture capitalists who are looking for this sort of
thing. Oh, God, we've got enough social you can get more social
in this. Yeah, we got social by stealing the guy's mailing list.
Yeah. That's good. It's good. You got to you stole the mailing
list. That's great.
Well, anyway, onward by proclamation by presidential
proclamation. Proclamation. This is African American Music
Appreciation Month, John. Okay, I
got it. I mean on that, and I'm not quite sure
what that is. African American music.
I don't know if there's a rhythm and blues. With that CAMI see.
For centre I'm going to read with the president said For
centuries, African American music has lifted the voices of
those whose poetry is born from struggle. As generations of
slaves toiled in the most brutal of conditions, they join their
voices and faithful chords. Once you say gospel or
good that sounds like gospel, or
both captured the depths of their sorrow and wove visions of
a brighter day as a gospel unto us at a time when dance floors
were divided rhythm and blues and rock and roll helped bring
us together. So always rock and roll black, African American
music.
It doesn't seem so to me, I think it really stems more from
the rockabilly era white music. And then of course, you had of
course, Elvis was doing black songs,
you know, that's how he was. Yeah. And
you had judge Chuck Berry complaining bitterly to forever
about, you know, he was the king of rock and roll and he did rock
and roll and he definitely did rock and roll. The Rolling Stone
which would make the same complaint
with me so is this I would say that this is more like Leadbelly
and guys like this, obviously,
blues rhythm and blues and gossamer, the real deal
and as activist marks for their civil rights, they faced hatred
with song, there's was a moment to do some black folk songs,
which Theirs was a movement with a soundtrack, spiritual sago
spirituals that fed their souls and protest songs that sharpened
their desire to write the great wrongs of their time. The
influence of African American artists resounds each day
through Symphony halls, church sanctuaries, music studios and
vast arenas. It fills us with inspiration and calls us to
action this month as we honour the history of African American
music, but it continued to give us hope, and carry us forward as
one people and one nation. All right. They'll have a nice
concert, I'm sure at the White House, but it's also by
presidential proclamation, national Caribbean or Caribbean
American Heritage Month.
Ah, they got music, too. They do?
Well, that's part of their heritage. It's also a times as
the president to renew our friendship with our Caribbean
neighbours, with whom we share both an ocean and a history. To
this end, the United States is expanding cooperation with our
Caribbean part. Is it Caribbean or Caribbean? I think it's
right. I think if you looked it up, and you'd find both
pronunciations to be accurate, well, you spell
it with one aren't two b's. So I think it'd be Caribbean I still
think it's pronounced both ways. Caribbean and Caribbean, I
think. I think I'll look it up what your yakking
as America celebrates our Caribbean Caribbean heritage.
Caribbean, its Caribbean. That's how my day go now Caribbean, let
us hold fast to the spirit that makes our country a beacon to
the world. This month, let us remember, we are always at our
best when we focus not on what we can tear down. But on what we
can build up. And together, let us strengthen the bonds that
hold together the most diverse nation on earth. All right, very
nice. It is also this month by presidential proclamation. Great
Outdoors month 2014. This month as we enjoy the splendour of our
nation, let us stay true to a uniquely American idea that each
of us has an equal stake in the land around us and equal
responsibility to protect it.
At Caribbean is used by the US and Caribbean also good finance
issues by the British
Caribbean. There you go. Of course it is. It really is an
important month and I'm not mocking this but I just always
find it funny. We have to have a month. That's fine. All the I
think pretty much the presidential proclamation for
these month is a joke anyway. And how can it be
great outdoorsman continue this practice?
Because it's a PR thing? You know? So you can have the
President saying something and then you can post that and then
you can go move off with your PR campaign. But I feel why would
you have to share what is African American Music
Appreciation Month? Why does that have to share with the
great outdoors? Why can't the great outdoors have its own
month and African American music habits own month not have to
share?
Because there's too many things that need to be promoted? Well,
boundary of promotion Come on. Well, I
feel slighted by this Presidential Proclamation. This
one I'm about to share with you because I feel that I should be
listed in the acronym and I'm not as it is officially by
presidential proclamation Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender Pride Month. And I would like to ask where are the
queers? Where are the BioCurious where are the asexual is the
pansexual is the Allied allied right that's every LGB LGBTQ Qi
a Yeah, no, this
is very inclusive. This is not good.
No, I think I've been excluded.
Yeah, you've been excluded. I don't like it.
And this you will see lots of
front. I'm sorry. And the front Obama's just picking out a few
of those letters. Yeah, it's in the front.
Oh, I don't like it. It is also by presidential proclamation
ease in there. You figured those fine Sorry, go on. Hey, oh,
talking I'm just you know, just to give it sing
it is also national oceans month. I guess we're gonna use
that to talk about how the Chinese are invading Vietnamese
space or something
very interesting about global warming Americans look
to the oceans as national treasures. Yeah, they're
gonna get Dude, you're gonna be bigger treasures because the sea
levels rising
a source of food and energy. A foundation for our way of life.
Our Oceans, coasts and Great Lakes provide jobs and attract
tourism. They provide a habitat for scores of species. They are
vital to our nation's transportation, economy and
trade, linking us with countries across the globe and playing a
role in our national security. This month, we reaffirm our
responsibility to keep our oceans and coastal ecosystems
healthy and resilient. There you go. There you go. And with that,
I think I just have to thank you for your courage

a few months ago, you call that out for students to bring up
Crimea in classes or even just argue against populist ideas.
Seeing that I took a foreign affairs class I saw the
opportunity when the professor asked what we thought about
Ukraine, I problem properly said it'd be really beneficial to
America to do nothing. Ukraine hurting has been hindering the
euro and the ruble. The professor before I could even
finish my thoughts started to shout me down about NATO and
American interest in adding Ukraine to the EU roster and the
NATO itself he proceeded on such a long rampage about the Cold
War The next day, the professor decided to share the results
from a MAP test. We took somebody fucking Miss Mexico.
Then in my English class, we're talking about what kinds of

the chat room was talking about a flare. Flare. Yeah. Pieces of
flair. How much flair are you wearing today? Very funny. Well,
got a lot of feedback on our conversation. In about the NBC
interview, Brian Williams with the Edward Snowden. And I think
the most obvious I received from a number of people were I guess
it was President carry a president. Oops, wow, that
slipped out. Wow.
I don't know why where that came from? No, that's very good.
Yeah. No Secretary of State Kerry, I'm talking about Snowden
violating his oath. Although I recognise it unreal. I don't
think we either of us actually said it. But as a contractor,
you don't take an oath. View. You sign an NDA. Yeah, it
was active.
If you're active. If you work for an agency working for the
CIA, then you take an oath. Exactly. Well, that oath does
not go away. If you're with the CIA, you're always under that
oath of non disclosure, lifetime
agreement.
Some other interesting to not to really take
a job there.
Some other interesting news came out. And this is something that
we had even discussed. NBC News Chief Deborah Turnus, it has now
been reported, was reportedly watching via satellite, this
interview. And during the breaks, which I think is
bullcrap, because it looked to me like they just sat down did
an hour and that was it. But okay, she claims that she was
texting Brian Williams questions now, that does kind of fit with
our analysis of the interview. Because he was just asking
questions, no follow up. And it was just like he was asking
questions. So it's kind of interesting that that not only
does she say, but he admits they Oh, yeah. And I was I was
getting questions texts, and I would then use them because
that's what the News Chief was watching via satellite count for
the late Well, I also don't believe that they weren't had a
satellite link up. That's bullcrap. I don't believe that
first second. You're in. If you're in if you truly are in a
hotel room in Moscow, yeah, we're gonna have a satellite
truck outside now. Yo,
well, it would be pointless.
It makes no sense. But okay. Here is something that that I
had considered, and a couple of people tweeted about it. And
then finally, something came in that really made me seriously
consider this notion. This is the matter of the missing nose
guard on the left side of Edward Snowdens. Spectacles. Now, as a
almost lifelong wear of spectacles of not having the
nose guard, I don't care what you're doing. You cannot hold on
to you cannot be using glasses for a year without fixing the
nose guard because it will begin to irritate your skin. It just
really can't be done. And what we had noticed is that the very
first interview we saw apparently from Hong Kong,
excuse me, that Laura Poitras did, Edward Snowden had a broken
pair of spectacles, and this most recent one, most recently
aired on NBC News, he had the same broken spectacles of the
assertion came in maybe these interviews were done at the same
time. Just because you're broadcasting it later doesn't
mean that it wasn't recorded at the same time. Now, I didn't
think much of this initially, but then I started to kind of
poke around. And we have I remembered seeing a selfie of
Snowden with Laura Poitras, grand green rolled on Raf, and
with David Greenwald's husband. And I thought to myself self,
this is kind of weird. Why was David there? Now, we know that
Glenn Greenwald has been travelling around and he was at
that interview because we had a shot of him Snowden and
Greenwell sitting there. So you're going to tell me that for
just this interview. Greenwald took his husband who already has
issues travelling certainly in the UK, as we know, David
Miranda, and Poydras. Were all there for this interview
possible possible. I don't see why they would do that. Why
would NBC News pay for them to come over as well? They just do
this out of the goodness of their heart.
They're cheap nowadays.
Now if not, so I did some more poking around and Glenn
Greenwald was actually during and this is on the 22nd if he I
have you don't have Facebook, but I went David Miranda, put a
picture of him and Snowden and the infamous all of them in the
selfie on his Facebook when it's all listed as May 22. And I of
course, I've tried to find some EXIF data, but you know, when
you upload these to Twitter and Facebook, basically a copy is
made and the data is destroyed unfortunately, but if you go to
burn Lin snow.no agenda notes.com John Berlin snow.no
agenda notes.com You will see something very interesting that
one of our producers girlfriends found out the producer
Sebastian, his girlfriend, her name, she is
a content she notes.com. Yeah, she's from
Kazakhstan. Do you remember the podcast that that Putin did and
Snowden called in on that podcast? He was the television
into the television thing. Right, the Colin show. Look at
the caption and I took this from German television ZT is Zoid
Deutsches fans in news footage. You can play the video if you
want. But I made the poster frame, you see a frame a double
frame with a duo box of Putin and Snowden underneath the Putin
and it says Mokuba. And underneath Snowden in Russian,
it says Berlin now for Russian television to make this
production mistake to somehow place the man most known to the
entire world as being an Mokuba. to now be in Berlin for this
phone in for the President. I find that highly unbelievable.
That's a great catch.
I thought Yes, I find it a day, I find it more likely that they
knew that he was coming in from Berlin or they received this
recording from Berlin or it was a so called live connection from
I don't believe was a live connection. But it was portrayed
as such. And they just put up Berlin and then someone didn't
catch it as Oh, man shakes now on the erlin Bay. I also then
went back and I see and I got put this page together with a
couple of a couple of links, you can check some stuff out. It
appears to me that grand grand Greenwald was in Germany on the
22nd 23rd and 25th, giving speeches, paid speeches, or at
least their chart uses cover charts to get in. If the
apparent Moscow interview was on the 22nd Yeah, maybe he hopped
over real quick, but did he have to bring his boyfriend and
Poitras for all of this? I don't know. I don't know. No,
they weren't featured on the show. There's no reason that
Greenwald just couldn't fly over and back
also, if you look at the difference between a Snowdens
hair cut in he has a real buzz cut that he had for the for the
interview for the so called may 22 interview. I mean, you'll see
the the hair cut there and the video posts are framed very
different but yeah, that's hard to say because of the quality of
the video I'm not so sure. In addition to that these pictures,
I'm pretty sure these were taken in a Berlin hotel room or I'm
sorry in a Moscow hotel room just looking at the took me a
while but comics or Blogger helped me out the picture in the
background of both of these pictures is of the resurrection
gate which is near Red Square, but it could also be in a Berlin
room and a Berlin hotel room it could be in either one really
anywhere
actually.
But I am this this this video of the President Putin's very own
call in show and then having snowed in with the Berlin
caption. Now this would make sense seeing as his girlfriend
Wow, we have no proof of this but we know that they were
looking pretty hot for each other Sarah Harrison now who of
course is the the award winning WikiLeaks journalist who used to
be Julian Assange his girlfriend she is still in Berlin and in
fact everybody around this thing is in Berlin. Poydras is in
Berlin. Applebaum is in Berlin who's to say it's not that hard
you know, I've known Pete my former business partner had was
had a passport under a false name and had been getting you
know, big funding from banks and venture capital companies for
years and he was it was not his identity. It's not that hard to
assume a different identity change your appearance and
travel
asses off for one thing you don't
need to have a private jet flying you don't need a
presidential
class off and put on some coloured contact lenses to make
your eyes a different colour which is easy enough you know
your hair can do what you can do all kinds of other you can
little makeup wouldn't hurt but yeah, I can see them doing that
in the state spending all this time in Berlin and he's got his
girlfriend assertion about about the Brian Williams thing you you
kind of confused me here I liked what you're saying now but would
you say at the beginning that it was already
done this was this was done the same time they're in Hong Kong
or wherever the original
that's not possible. Why not? Because for one thing, Brian
will have spent too much time talking about Greenwald's book
with the title. There is no way Greenwald sold that book with a
good point.
Good point. Good point. Good point. Good point. But we also
know that if Miranda was there, who isn't here afraid of it that
just makes so much sense that this was done at a different
time? Or the the time is different, or the location is
different? Why? Why did Poydras and Miranda have to come over
for the NBC interview? Why? Why Why would she even bother doing
that? And not be put on camera?
Well, maybe she's document doing a little documentary on this in
the background. So it's possible to keep track of this guy and
Miranda just, I just, I would I like the Berlin stuff. I think
there's some possibility that he's not even in Russia. But he
went back he goes to Russia to do this. And it also possible
Yeah, and so he goes there because they Brian Williams
would not allow it to be done in Berlin and it would be every
somebody would leak. It's one of the camera guys some bright,
right, good point. So that's not gonna happen. Okay. So they're
in there. But, you know, I can see her doing a documentary
behind the scenes documentary shoot and stuff.
I know, we know. She's doing the documentary. She's doing that
and the
boyfriend. I've always wanted to see Russia. I mean, why can you
Why can't you take me?
In fact, if you look at the if you look at the picture, the
selfie volume you'll see in the reflection of the the screen in
the background as a TV screen. Yeah, there's obvious equipment
flight cases. This is not the hotel room where they did the
interview. No, no, no, because that was it. That was not a
hotel room that was like a ballroom or some kind of dining
room. So I see flight cases. So I think you're right I think
Poydras is doing the document we know that she's doing it for
skull. That's who's financing the Snowden movie, which is
going to out Trump anything Greenwald thinks he's gonna get
from Sony. Because that'll be a document that Greenwald's
book I didn't bring it into the into my studio here but I the
public relations people sent me a copy really, from the
publisher. Yeah, really? Yeah, really.
I purchased the book. Oh, my how stupid am I? Anyway, I think the
I think the tail here which is a great catch from from our
producer. Sebastian has his has He says his cosmic girlfriend.
He says this this Berlin caption.
Yeah, it's a good catch. Anyway, got the book, I found that this
was to me the book is everything that a Woodward book isn't. He
actually probably tried to put this book together himself
instead of using like, you know, Woodward is smart guy. When he's
not he doesn't seem that bright. But he's smart enough to let the
CIA write his books for him. And so you get these huge Tomes.
Every time you every year, it comes out a big, nice, giant
book with all kinds of insight information you could never get.
Let's read it. Sorry. Really weird sources. This is actually
two best greenwall it could do. It's 250 pages. Are you kidding
me? That's not and that's sucks.
It's not as I it's it's just a rehash of his article. Rosaline
so I thought
he's a he's a lawyer. Yeah, he's a lawyer. Yeah. He's not even a
constitutional lawyer.
So we did get somebody sent us a message saying that they may
have fired Eleanor Clift from I don't think so I didn't find any
evidence of that. She's going to be back.
By the way. The President our President Obama is visiting
Europe this week, he will go to Poland, Belgium and France.
missing from the list is Germany. Why would you not go
visit Germany if you're in Poland think there's a feud
underway? Yeah, Germany's got Snowden. Ah. Good one. Yeah.
Possible. It's very, there was a commentary that that Snowden was
going to go talk to the Germans and talk to the German
parliament. And then they made a big stink about oh, we can't do
that. Because it's going to cause these international
incidents. Remember that? Yeah. And so then, when Snowden first
got to Russia, he was they the Germans are gonna give him a
free pass to come and tell them what the kind of shit he found
out. And then it became a kind of a stink was made. You can't
do that. So he didn't supposedly do it, but maybe he did. Maybe
they you know, the Germans have got a secret police they've got
a CIA and they could go into Russia and give them the phoney
passports and you know, the phoney
doesn't have to be phoney you can just be of a dead person.
It's not that hard to
write. It's not that hard to do. And
Snowden would be Snowden knows how to live under a suit maybe
has a whole separate identity you can travel under if you've
lived abroad, and you have as he claims and assumed identity, you
have papers for the assumed identity. Right? So that's not
that hard for him to track perhaps travel freely. And he's
also he's not learned a stitch of Russian
Right, which makes zero sense to me. Look, that goes, that could
be a ruse,
as we and I gotta say his girlfriend i sub she's now
speaking on conferences. It'd be competent, sponsored by
Microsoft. And she's being lauded by, by everyone has oh,
what's your name again?
Sarah Harrison. She just, and I watched. I watched the whole
thing, thinking I could get a good clip out of it. It's
completely boring. Let me see. She was at the what was it?
She looks like a CIA girl too.
But I'll tell you here. She's scheduled for the keynote at
Deutsche Avella, which is essentially the big German
broadcaster. She's she's making money, she's having a good time
and she's looking, I got smokin hot, and she's fashionable.
She's got and she's got the kind of sexy gap in her teeth.
Partner Julian Assange.
She spoke here. This is what she spoke of Repubblica 2014 And she
was interviewed by what's her name the the Alexa O'Brien
bananas over there, man. If you have anything that sticking to
you that that reeks of hacker, NSA or wiki. You can make money
in Germany.
So I'm looking at the Google page when I looked up Sarah
Harrison and they have this little thing. Little bios on the
side now that they give Yes, yes. Yes. So you don't have to
go to the Wikipedia. Yes. So there isn't this as people also
search for Julian Assange, Jacob Appelbaum, Laura Poitras, Edward
Snowden. And then there's a guy I don't know who this is who?
Kristen Rasmussen son. Huh? Hold on. K ri STI n n. Let's say a
fin or something is a guy and his H RAFN. S S O n which is a
classic Nordic name with a son of a tariff
on a second home. To me was this guy his name again? Kristin.
Kri STI N N.
Yeah, we know him. Kristen, what's the second his last name?
H RAFRI.
Robinson Yeah. And we played a clip from him. He is the new
guy. He's the new spokesman for WikiLeaks. Oh, yeah. He's the
new guy
and Icelandic investigative journalist supposedly. And then
as you get it big, now I get since I looked him up. I get a
big line of of people. Jessalyn Radek, Coleen Rowley, you know
her Hans Christian Strobel Scoble. That's
Hans Christian Scotland,
Scoble.
You know your organization's
Jennifer Robinson Bryn Greenwald, Chelsea Manning Ray
McGovern and might one of my favourite chatterboxes and
Thomas Andrews Drake, one of the NSA whistleblowers who is still
irked. But
Sarah Harrison, Sarah Harrison, she is she is being lauded as a
hero saying that she cannot go back she's in self imposed exile
in Berlin sang she cannot go back to what they're saying that
she's a hero because the hero well because well, because she
protected Snowden throughout the his journey from Hong Kong to
Russia. Now she attended Seven Oaks private school which we've
discussed this which is a a known spook school. Yeah. In in
the UK.
Well, she if she let's say she's my wife, she, she's British, so
she's bad. She could be a CIA person. She could be mi six, she
could be mi five. Below, let's say that she's some she went to
a spokeswoman. She's now she's in this clip, which is seems
pretty, you know, sketchy. And Snowden worked for the agency.
And now let's say he's, they're still trying to extract him.
Well, would he be in Berlin and somehow keep with the CIA know,
he's there, but they, they're helping hide him from the NSA or
the American government? You know, the FBI or people like
that. You think that's a possibility?
Well, just look at what's happening in Berlin. Berlin has
all these essentially anti American anti American agency
conferences. It's all about how America bad Bad, bad, bad, and
in the UK, bad Bad, bad, bad, bad. Everybody lives there.
Everybody's hanging out in Berlin.
happened in place.
Yeah. Me. So this that's egregious at best. egregious to
the United States. Yeah, they got the chaos communication
Congress. whereas they got this re whatever this thing was that
she was just on Poydras is there everyone's there
and the problem with Snowden being there it's just that I
can't imagine these people especially the Poydras is of the
world although she's you know might be compromised and
actually be good at good at this I could be wrong. But Glenn
Greenwald and his boyfriend they have a big they I can't see them
being quiet about this someone would give him up
then he may not know oh, let's pause I think this Sara girl she
knows we if she's all the pictures of her and Edie and
they're all dressed up and they legging close to each other and
made a video they
can have a lot more fun but the problem is they can the two semi
actually go out in public in Berlin because if you're Berlin
you want to go you want to hit the restaurants and nightlife
you do it's a really great place.
I don't know their masters of disguise
or the rush to go to a you know hanging out in a Moscow pub. I
mean, what are you going
to do on their masters of disguise? Well, that
is a possibility. They're masters of disguise.
Yeah, I don't know. Like I just I think this this whole idea
would have no validity without the screen caption saying Berlin
which
it'd be just bullcrap could be an accident. But why would it
What kind of accident is that? Doesn't that's the kind of
accident I can imagine the Chiron guy doing no good under
there. What are you going to put on the Chiron I was gonna put
Berlin for no good reason.
Well, I doubted it was a live video you recall the way it was
presented? Bo it's unbelievable. We have this live video coming
in here ladies and gentlemen. It's incredible with a question
for our president. Here is Edward Snowden. And if I'm in
the television control room and this is coming to me as I'm just
going to presume this was not set up. It's coming as a big
surprise. Oh, we got the feed coming in. Where's it coming?
It's you know it's Skype or satellite what? He's in Berlin.
He's calling in All right, put it up put up Mark bond Berman. I
can see that happening. Yeah. Who knows? Okay, something I've
had on my list for a while now, and I didn't quite get to it.
And it was only for one particular country and then all
of a sudden Whoa, it came in. It turns out every single country
in Euro land now has to do this and I have a clip I needed to
share this with everybody. It seems
Britain's economy is doing better than reported because of
illegal activities. The official GDP statistics are being boosted
by including things like prostitution, and sales of
drugs. Britain's Office for National Statistics says that
hidden economy trade was worth almost 10 billion pounds, maybe
12 billion euros at current exchange rates back in 2009. The
most recent year for which it's done the calculations total is
based on estimates of how many prostitutes and drug users there
are in the UK and their activities. Illegal economically
productive activity now has to be included in how growth is
measured under EU rules known as the European system of accounts,
though people engaged in such illegal work are unlikely to pay
taxes on it. Governments do benefit from the money that they
spend on taxable purchases.
This is very interesting that that this now
has to be as before was it happening in Greece or Italy or
something? Like we didn't end up their numbers? Yeah,
I don't think we actually talked about it on the show. But yes,
Italy, talked about with Horowitz right. So Italy has now
released this as well. But apparently it is a directive
that all EU countries have to add their illegal, so their
prostitution and drug trade, which makes nothing but sense.
It makes no sense to me. I think this is just a version of
cooking the books. But one thing these numbers are inaccurate but
that's it. Let's just say let's or economies are crapping out
what are we? What can we do? What kind of numbers that we've
never used before? They've always been around to us. But
all of a sudden we start using these new numbers to make things
look better. It's just it's just window dressing. Well, for a
lousy economy What if we needed to if you backed it What if you
backtrack and put these numbers in for the last 50 years? So you
can get some something to compare? Yeah, then it would be
fine with me but this is the start doing it out of the blue
just a boost your numbers. This is not not this is not kosher.
Perhaps it has been a directive to do this before a reset of
currency or a reevaluation of individual countries for some
reason, either within the EU or within a larger monetary system.
And everybody's jumping on board and coming up with his best
numbers as possible. Within this, no doubt putting off the
inevitable but okay, what's the inevitable
collapse? Yeah,
well, that's okay.
Yeah, no, it is okay to put it off. I mean, what's the point of
what's the rush?
I did. That's the least of the problems really in, in Euro
land, unreported, but wow, these, the immigrants that are
fleeing North Africa are where all of Africa but North Africa,
certainly Libya and Tunisia, and are trying to get to the EU. And
you know, there's entire cities now in southern Italy, of
immigrants and people trying to climb over walls and trying
they're floating in boats and inner tubes. And it's just not
being reported. But it's a mess. It's a mess. These the
immigrants? Yeah, yeah, it really is. Let's see if 42,000
illegal immigrants reach the European union between January
and April of this year alone four times the number of last
year. French police in Calais they have there's got to camp
there. And you have people are trying to climb over the fence
and the police are hammering them with bats like get back.
You slave. They don't know what to do with them. The people are
hiding and trucks and it's just crazy. Good work, everybody on
the Arab Spring, How'd that work out?
Good workout, right?
Fabulous. is just fantastic.
No, I don't know what they're gonna do about this problem.
These are not useful employees, you know, or anything and the
economy's already in the tank, because the Chinese have become
the manufacturers of the world. And so there's nothing to do,
it's just going to create all kinds of issues a lot of crime.
Oh, yeah. Massive, massive crime. Yeah. The
liberal guilt is going to be hard pressed to deal with this
is going to be terrible.
Well, that's why it'd be I think that's why it's being kept very
quiet. Like, don't talk about those people in the camp. I
watched the President's podcast this morning, as I always do.
There's about 2000 of us who watch the podcast on video. And
I'm always amazed by the tone that he sets and the things he
says. And it's a very long one today, but I cut it down to
about a minute 15 It's about seven minutes in total. And he's
using some words that if you don't, if you just kind of sit
if you just let it relax and flow over you. You don't really
take notice of it. But I think it's important to discuss the
term that he is using in this and the precedents he is setting
for what is clearly a strategy of agenda 21 Just have a listen
to the words.
Hi, everybody. I'm here at Children's National Medical
Centre in Washington, DC, visiting with some kids being
treated here all the time for asthma and other breathing
problems.
This of course, is children.
Often these illnesses are aggravated by air pollution,
pollution from the same sources that release carbon and
contribute to climate change.
Okay, now now let's listen carefully. The same sources that
release carbon have now I think he means carbon dioxide. Would
you agree that's what he really means. Yes, carbon. No, he
made it means carbon dioxide.
But it's not I mean, I'm carbon, your carbon. My laptop is we're
all carbon. But he's saying carbon and this is important is
actually
released a bunch of Taliban carbon. Yeah, yeah. So
five units of TC Taliban carbon.
And for the sake of all our kids, we've got to do more to
reduce it.
So he's saying that carbon is giving these kids asthma.
Earlier this month, hundreds of scientists declare that climate
change is no longer a distant threat.
Notice the difference here, instead of 97%, or almost all
hundreds. It's gone from 1000s. Now to hundreds which is also
interesting.
It has moved firmly into the present. Its costs can be
measured in lost lives and livelihoods, lost homes and
businesses and higher prices for food. This climate change is
craft insurance and rebuilding. That's why last year I put
forward America's first Climate Action Plan. This plan cuts
carbon pollution by building a clean energy economy.
Did you hear it? Carbon pollution carbon
This is not a new phrase. We've heard this before.
You know, maybe I'm just noticing it now. Maybe he hasn't
been so. Yeah, he's equating carbon dioxide to children
having asthma. John. That's what I didn't like here. Yeah, and
Carter calling it cool. Carbon, there's no such thing as carbon
pollution.
He said, No, he said earlier in the thing that the places that
pump out carbon aka carbon dioxide also pump out pollution
but as he's trying to make a connection here in the brain
it's very weak
very well using more clean energy. By the way, we had a
clip of this
up it was like a month or two ago of some woman making this
assertion. I wish I could remember what the what the
circumstance was but this is he's just picked it up. This is
not a new meme.
Let me see carbon. Was it Carbon War Room maybe
it was carbon had something to do with carbon maybe carbon
pollution or she was trying to do the same thing carbon
I here's what I have carbon trading is out. No Carbon War
Room.
I don't know what that is.
We can listen for a moment. Kevin Warren started Oh, no,
that's there was something else. The carbon trading is out. Maybe
that was something wrong in Durban South Africa? No, no,
we'd have to. I mean, sometimes you title stuff. Weirdly, I'm
very poor at this. Alright, let's continue with this
podcast. Almost done. Let's dirty energy, dirty wasting. So
we have dirty energy now. Less
energy throughout our economy. One of the best things we can do
for our economy, our health and our environment, is to lead the
world in producing cleaner, safer energy. Today, about 40%
of America's carbon pollution comes from power plants, carbon
pollution.
Don't know but I just it clicked for me when he said that these
kids are dying of asthma attacks and respiratory disease because
of carbon pollution.
Yeah, well, I said we've done this carbon pollution scam once
before I wish we had the other clip. But so he's just picking
it up I think I think this is a kind of a flyer I think they
bring this up every so often to see what what kind of pushback
they get on using this term. So I think we're going to hear it
again. Probably in what how many months? You know, a few months
you're gonna start hearing it again. I think it's gonna take
off though. Okay. I could be wrong just just just pointed
out. Yep. While you're doing that, I was. Did you see the
spelling bee?
Oh, no. You are the man to catch the spelling bees, aren't you?
I only cut part of it. I cut they caught a part of this kid.
That apparently threw out the spelling bee he acted like this
on Thursday. Hello Jacob Williamson. Kabara Goya? Kabara
GOj I know it. I know.
I totally know.
Okay, Kabara Goya
C A B A. R AGLY A bar Goya? Why
was that he was a fan favourite if you watch this, and he was
something else. Alright, here we are.
So this kid I guess he got it wrong. Yeah, I did get it wrong.
Is it spelt with a K? Not a C, but he would he would make these
guy guess throughout the thing. And I'm now sorry. I didn't
watch the whole thing. He would scream out. You know his
opinions of whether this was a good word or whether he can
spell it
with this screechy voice sounds like he's on the spectrum.
Sounds like he's definitely on the spectrum and probably on
something else. Whatever. Yeah, on the spectrum.
Oh, by the way. I will be the first to admit, I did not get
your Catcher in the Rye joke at the end of the last show. Oh,
you feel guilty about this? No, that I don't feel guilty about
anything. But this this like this whole? The Oh, yeah, Harvin
storm,
I didn't expect that many people were going to get the joke. Now.
I don't even
think I've ever read Catcher in the Rye to be quite honest.
Yeah, but that wasn't a joke.
I don't think I actually heard the joke. So maybe if you can
repeat it, we can see if I can get it now.
You are could going on and on about being you know, either
being followed or conspiracy theories or so.
Please, that doesn't sound like me. I didn't know what
you were saying. I'd have to go back and get the clip. But I
said, you said something. And it reminded me of The Catcher in
the Rye joke. So I said, you've been reading copies of Catcher
in the Rye. And what that was referred reference to was the
movie conspiracy theory with Mel Gibson, Mel Gibson, who to track
him because they needed to track him all the time because he had
this suppressed information that would prove there's a government
conspiracy of some sort. He would wherever he went to a
bookstore or any store and he saw a copy of Catcher in the
Rye. He was compelled by hypnosis to buy a copy. So they
know where he is. So a basic copy of Catcher in the Rye, that
black helicopters immediately come in and he he keeps doing
this and he has a huge collection of books and this
woman has said what do you got all these copies of Catcher in
the Rye and he goes I'm not really sure but I really do like
the book.
Interestingly, I do not believe I've seen the movie either.
You'd like
it very it's little long, but it's very enjoyable and it's
it's it mocks a lot of the stuff but it's actually a good story.
It's fun to watch and you know, it's a monster movies what it
really is. Anyway, yeah, that's The Catcher in the Rye joke. So
you should now use now you know, yes, I know. Hey, yeah, it must
have been about 10 people tweeting it saying I got it I
got the joke. But it's one of my obscure references I just use on
occasion.
Now we this was only I'm gonna say three shows ago maybe that
we talked about this.
We only found out where we were going to be trained on the last
day in Ankara when the American sigma
this is not what I was thinking Sorry, wrong clip. We were
talking about the safe haven and Syria for for the terrorists.
Yeah, the safe haven and Syria and that oh, we're gonna have
these these terrorists are going to come back to America and
commit atrocities in the homeland.
Yeah, well, oh,
the Syrian the American terrorist the suicide bomber
from Tampa.
I have a very short clip that introduces him. Okay. American
suicide bomber.
It's confirmed an American citizen blew himself up in
Syria. The US State Department named The suicide bomber as
Mauna Mohammed Abu Salah he was in his late 20s reportedly grew
up in Florida and went to Syria last year to join Islamist
fighters. Gov Ng and brings us small some Amateur footage of
the attack carried out by that young man last weekend
was that finance councillors? Van cat here van Canada Covanta
van der whatever. Here's the American news media analysis
which of course hits a lot closer to home now.
No, it was an American who launched a suicide attack in
Syria last Sunday. The State Department confirms it is the
first time a US citizen has been linked to an al Qaeda back
bombing in Syria's civil war. Randy's State
Department officials believe that the man is Munia Mohammed
Abu Saleh, ah,
this isn't a hand Why don't we give us an American name by the
way? What's up with that
and who grew up and studied in Florida, they have not divulged
when exactly this man actually went to Syria. But it is
believed to be the first American suicide bomber in the
Syrian civil war. This was a huge attack, as you can tell by
the video you're seeing on the screen. Now we're still trying
to get more details about the American who went to Syria and
when exactly they went to I love how it keeps repeating the
America and America and but you know, one of the reasons
American officials are so concerned that isn't just
because there are American fighters on the ground in Syria.
And analysts that I've spoken with believe that there are at
least 100 Their analysts which would be CIA as of now, and that
more or possibly on the way American officials also very
worried about Americans who might come back to the US after
having learned terrorism techniques themselves sells
up terrorism techniques sneaks
Hardline, al Qaeda insurgency and Syria and then might plot
because that
inspire magazine is not doing the job where they're pipe bombs
and pressure cookers. Now we need techniques
against the US here from within the US. This is something that's
really becoming a nightmare scenario. For US officials, they
say there are networks that they are trying to shut down of
recruiters who are trying to lower anybody who is like minded
with al Qaeda, from the states to Syria, and then have them go
back to the States. This is this of course.
Yes.
I was gonna say van cat would continue with this report. And
they say they don't even know that any of this is true. And
the pictures of this goofball with a big smile on his face
with a cat with a cat with a cat holding a kitten. And you know,
the whole thing could be just bullcrap. From the get go,
there's no proof of and what
this does, is it it ships it is meant to give licence to spying
because Oh, please, we have networks of recruiters who are
trying to recruit people to then send them over an Edward Snowden
can't travel to Berlin but apparently if you've been in
Syria and you blowed stuff I've even come back to America new
problem. Hey, that beard looks mighty suspicious. Now it
continues more fear fear,
be afraid launch attacks against the homeland from within. So
very, very worrying developments this, Randy
and in terms of this particular case, I mean, they have no idea
who trained him or where he got his training yet.
No, they don't. But they say that it's relatively easy for
Americans or Europeans who want to get into Syria. It's like a
call to action. It's easy kids. It's easy in Turkey first
amongst these groups to get into Syria once they're there, very
easy to get the kind of training that could want a cause a
devastating attack inside the
second trading season.
I mean, any of these guys but they can you can just watch
waltz over when you feel like it is easy to get training. Really
easy. It's easy to get training,
but it's hard to find. That's really the great concern here.
And they're trying as hard as they can to shut this down. But
they say the problem is we heard from an FBI official yesterday,
one of the problems is that a lot of the people that are going
over there, they look like ordinary average Americans. They
can be men, they can be women. And it would be very hard to
detect when they would come back, take note
FBI official, this is where the next six weeks cycle has to come
from. It's gotta be one of these guys, we're going to shut down
some guy that we were trying to recruit to go over to Syria.
I don't know maybe, maybe you never know what they're gonna do
with a six week cycle is always caught us. Except for that
bonehead does push oil Gil pushes, but it'll blow up the
bank, that guy, which they seem to find plenty of in the United
States. Except for that guy with these other things are slightly
unpredictable. And they're going to have to do something I think
you're right about the situation that's going to unfold with the
Taliban swap out.
Well, the thing that is that may not be discussed in mainstream
which luckily, you know, our our producers bring it up is you've
essentially now put a price on the head of every service man
and woman of five to
one. Right, right. Five
to one is a lot that's that's a good deal.
Yeah, so yeah, this is not gonna this is a huge botch by the
Obama administration. It's going to be a huge huge botch. So I
went, I did get as I do have one little Snowden clip I wanted to
run, which also kind of plays into this problem with the
media. This is the today's show now has Carson Daly that today's
show that kids played with to improve it. And I liked the
newsreader better than Savannah on the other station, who's
the who's the newsreader?
I can't remember her name. But she's I think she's just I think
she's just more presentable. And she, and then they got Carson
Daly, who goes to the orange room? And he does he does
research and most of his based on Twitter, right?
Isn't he sponsored by Twitter, no sprint, no. Sprint, sprint,
sprint, are
one of them phone companies. And so he goes in there with this
thing on Snowden. Hey, Carson, sorry, the Carson goes in and
they're all yucking it up. And Carson goes in and he looks at
the Twitter, the the Patriot versus trader trending and how
it changed during the interview. And it brings up an interesting
point to my way of thinking if you listen to this whole thing
and what you know, the E changed from being a trader to a patriot
because of Brian Williams, which is part of probably a larger
scheme that we're not part of. But play this and you get to get
a sense of what they're up to. To you. All right, Kristen.
Thank you.
Carson Daly is here. More reaction feeling interview with
Edward Snowden Morning, guys, how you doing? Hey, really
interesting to watch. As you've heard so far this morning. The
opinions switch during the interview last night with Brian
the online opinion to the exact same coin over the orange room.
And let me try and break it down exactly what we noticed all day
yesterday. And certainly during the interview last night in
prime here on NBC. We asked you to hashtag trader or patriot.
This was provided by Twitter to us it's it shows some of the
Twitter activity during the day yesterday. And you'll see the
surge happened here in a second green Patriot blue trader
getting a lot of activity that's during the interview itself. But
pretty much by and large during the day we saw this trend about
5347 The majority of us looked at Edward Snowden as a trader.
Okay. Now this is where it gets interesting. This is 9pm Eastern
time an hour before the interview aired you can see with
the music thing was pretty much
it. We're not doing it right. This I totally agree. We are we
are we're doing it all wrong, John. Yeah, we
need a music track.
Everybody this is no agenda. I'm Adam curry. How you doing,
Jonathan? Good. What's the trend? Yeah,
I'd like to find out. Rob. Let's
go to the orange room and find out the graph that we got from
Twitter. This is great. Yeah, perfect, perfect hash tag.
We're idiots. Yes. Most people think we're idiots. What is this
this is also this is not even remotely illegal survey. It's
just about you know, you can have a bot changing this will
finish the thing up and you can see where it's going. And this
brings up my concern
sort of in the lead there. The interview starts here. This
surge in hashtag Patriot all of a sudden jumps right after the
interview airs on the East Coast. And you can see clearly
once there was a face to the story and all the things that
we've heard this morning, people's opinion online
drastically changed and it continued that trend through 2am
Eastern which is when it finished airing on the west
coast as it stands this morning when we got in. Here's the shift
61% think he's a patriot and 39% of traders. You here
guesstimating
what is coming up next. Yeah, you know what? You know what?
This is science. That's right.
It's now what the couple of things that to note one is the
public was so easily easily switched over supposedly of note
that even though this whole survey thing is bullcrap, since
on Twitter, it
seems seems like this is a setup, obviously, it's
obviously a setup to get more sympathy so they can bring the
guy back, yeah, in one way, shape, or form Berlin, from
Berlin. And it all but it tells you the media has not done its
job in the first place that you would have such a switch like
this. And then this constant claim by NBC that this was the
first interview with the guy when he was interviewed in Hong
Kong. He was interviewed in by the German guy, probably in
Berlin. And this is not the first interview of the guy. So
first interview that that the mechanism let happen. So the
public could see the guy. So this is very, very suspicious.
Yeah, well, everything points to a return for Snowden. Yeah,
everything you do. It's the whole interview, the whole setup
carry saying we'll get you on a plane right away from Berlin.
Everything points to it
does. All right.
Let's take a little break right here. I think that's what we
should do.
I'm gonna show must move but donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
I want to do a mia culpa. Before we do this. Thank you. Because I
promised that we took a bid from the Jimmy Dore show some time
ago, we didn't know. It was from his show. And they bitched about
this on their podcast is a comedy podcast,
it actually happened differently. Someone sent me a
link to a SoundCloud right thing, and people send us links
to stuff all the time. And I don't know if someone else has
done and where it comes from?
Yeah, I do. I explained. And they were very amenable to my
just thanking them. By mentioning because his concern,
I think what Jimmy is concerned, I think it was the credit to the
writer and the voiceover guy who's I would love to use this
guy, he has that one of those big voices that you know, Mark
Thompson was the voice. And the writer is is Mark van Ledoux it
va en la NDUYT. And those are the guys who produced it for his
show. And they it's posted somewhere, I have a link that
will give you when you put on the show notes. And people can
listen to this to one where they get PBS. It's very funny. Isn't
it? Hilarious bit. But I just wanted to make sure that we did
give them credit. And I promised
that Well the funny thing is I wanted to do this on the last
show when you shut me down.
I don't remember this. Yeah.
There was there was someone who sent in a donation with the
question about this.
Oh, do you did you have the name of the writer and the man? Yeah,
I
had everything. And I said, Well,
I misunderstood what you said then because I would have
allowed that to because
what I was going to say was 621 episodes we've never been
accused of plagiarism or theft ever. And the first time it
happens it's from a podcast. You should think that we'd be sued
or threatened some other way and the only thing the only thing I
find unfortunate is you know if you got a beef with us drop me
an email. Yeah, you don't have to call us assholes. Just drop
me an email you know, it's like
if you're gonna call us anything make sure that calls douchebags
Yes, please.
douchebags will be will be better. Yeah.
Anyway, so Okay, I'm sorry that I did that to you. That's okay.
I gotta double apology. You know what, but anyway, so that's
where so we're good to go. We're all good. We're good with Jimmy
he's uh, he's fine. No, in fact,
I thought that he was amenable and I listened to his show and
they have to you know, it's very left oriented. So another hate
to behave the Republicans hate the Republicans kind of thing
and there's not a lot of battles. He
actually the, in his tirade, he said, you know, he basically
called us Republicans find hilarious
joke. Anything but Republicans would give them as much grief as
anyone. But I have to say that he does. He does original
material that you're into me written gags on every show that
is really not that easy to do. Do write a lot of like a
monologue, right? Every time you do a show because we do our
shows just performance or we don't have gags and things that
we produce. It's very difficult to do that anyway. So don't want
to say sorry about that. I want to thank a lot of people for the
coming in here on show 622 Damien Taman in Perth, Western
Australia. I think, you know, he sent he sent I thought he sent
me a note. I thought I had a note from him.
While you're looking for that, let me read a note from at least
Garling Dame Elise Garling. Who sent I presume if you go to the
PIO box, did you get a Lehmann cello?
Yes, and I want to thank her profusely it's a different style
than her previous so here's
what she says Dears, Adam, I moved from Queens, New York to
my hometown of Washington State right down the road from JCD.
Here I cannot get Everclear so this batch won't kick your ass
like previous bottles. My aunt picked up the limp pick the
lemons off her tree in California. I'd love some calmer
because I'm headed to Bristol Bay, Alaska to commercial fish
for the next two months. My hot cousin and I need to catch. She
knows how to play me like a violin. My hot cousin and I need
to catch shit tonnes of salmon to make the barfing worthwhile.
This is of course Dame at least is our hot Alaskan fish or
chick. Hopefully I can hook up to Wi Fi now and then and
download the show but I'll probably be out for weeks at a
time. I'll miss you guys much love you guys. Rock day Millie's
Garling and I did want to give her her karma as requested for
no barfing. You've got karma. Lots of fish. Lots of salmon.
Yeah, she moved to Port Townsend which is where Eric's building
his place.
Ah the the shield castle. The Shield castle right there built
from his no agenda wages.
Anyway, Damien, you have to send us a note again. I can't find
anything. Island Chow in Flushing New York. 12345. He, by
the way, found your deconstruction of Elliot Rogers
creepy doctor. And yes, all women on 621 to be as he would
put it. Amazing.
Well, no, no, we have a different way of putting that.
We have it. Or don't we have that? No, we don't have amazing

wherever I am in the world, no matter what happens is one one
around
one tweet what I say there's always one around yeah,
one tweet and I know I'll be safe from whatever's going on.
That's what I always say to miss Mickey, this fight drop dead no
matter where you are one tweet and you're taking care of,
you know, one of the things that we've talked about over the
years, we've gotten one guy to respond, I think it's probably
never going to get any much more than that. So the Indians being
cheap. Yeah. Well, you know, they also have this they
apparently have this rape problem. And this the most one
of the more disgusting stories and they can't seem to get a
handle on but you know, there's 25,000 rapes in India an hour
early. Well, it's just like a gibberish, few saying,
What is that on the scale? I mean, how many people live in
India? There's a lot of people.
Yeah, billion.
Okay. Well, how
many rapes there? I mean, it's per capita is pretty high. And
these are there's the reported ones. It's a problem. I mean,
when you have a situation like this, that's big news. And most
of the overseas outlets about these two girls that were gang
raped. Ah, yes, yes, yes. Yes. So I there's just a little
background on it here just to remind our Indian non
contributors that we have our eye on you if we follow your
news.
Two Indian police officers have been fired accused of failing to
help search for two missing girls. The teenagers were later
found dead hanging from a tree. According to autopsy results,
they were gang raped in a village north of India. The
policemen have been charged with criminal conspiracy as they
refuse to file a complaint from the teenager's family.
When this man father of one of the victims went to police to
report the girls went missing. They refused to help them.
Service Department metody constable came to my house had
informed me that my daughter had been found hanging from a tree
and I want the CBI to investigate the case. I do not
trust the police
are facing strong criticism on national media authorities have
fired and arrested two police officers who failed to take
action and arrested several suspects. students protesting in
New Delhi criticise the Government for failing to defend
women. Officially 25,000 rapes are committed in India every
year
when this story came out. I'm saying Looking there's a reason
for this. There's there's got to be some angle are we trying to
get something out of them if they messed up or me trying to
make the same thing or we're trying to screw someone out of
office is
going on constantly. And they also have infanticide is big in
India where they kill the women babies. It's like, this is not
new stories. And, and of course, we had that thing where Hillary
and apparently the State Department was going after
India, at least the Modi contingent, would you? I don't
know if you read that article.
I did. I put it up. I put it in the show notes under India.
And so there's something screwy going on with us in India. And a
lot of it has to do with this new Prime Minister Modi, right,
who is going to shake things up some way, shape or form. And I'm
not sure when we're jockeying for position, we've dropped
Hillary Clinton, according to this article, per she was out to
get Modi. And there this policy has been changed now that Modi
became they were trying to keep him from becoming Prime
Minister. I think Hillary was pushing for one of the female
candidates or something. There's something screwy going on with
India that we're gonna have to keep a little tighter. eye on
because I think it's good. It's going to result in some some
activity in it. Yeah. Probably that whole region. Modi is a
business oriented, kick ass character of some sort. I was
watching some on Roku. There's a bunch of weird obscure channels
you can get.
Yeah, yes. You can get vivid on there too. You know,
you can also get us. Yes, correct. And but there's a bunch
of stuff from India that plays and it's all it is, is Indian
television. A lot of these channels seem to consist of like
Fox News on steroids, where you have four people screaming at
each other about something you and I was watching the Modi
debates and they're yelling at what a asshole this guy is and
now he's the best thing that ever happened to the country and
they're yelling and it's it's something's up so this and I
think this rape story really puts a focus on it.
I have a clip
just as the second half of the show officially right.
Oh, hold on. No, not until we until we officially open IT
resources no and three second half. All right. second show.
I thought this on the History Channel of course, which is all
about aliens and Nazis isn't that much awesome on there
the combination thereof? Aliens Nazis and flying saucers often
is a combination. Well, those were flood the flying saucers
that were down to the South Pole were obviously Nazi Warcraft. We
all know this. Yeah.
Now I there was a little thing that came up with these
waitresses that are out living outside of area 51. And they've
been working there for 2030 years. And one of them describes
that and I figure I've got one of the great experts on space
aliens. You almost met one once you Of course. You're like a
world class expert. I'm
the Oracle I am the alien or I
want to know if what this woman says is correct. She describes a
variety of aliens. That some well you can play the clip and
then up I want to hear from you. Was this as
accurate? Okay, here we go.
A lot of people have actually worked at Area 51. And they have
told me that they worked with beings who were from another
planet. And they said there's more than one kind,
a large and a small nose grey, a reptile, an orange, a blue and
the humanoid. I don't think that there's yet a complete story on
what maybe over that hill.
I mean, I'm obviously familiar with the greys and the tall
blondes, orange and blue. This is new to me.
Well, there's a go from a small and a large nose grey. Yeah,
okay. Yes. And then there's the the orange and the blue and the
reptiles and the humanoids. Now the humanoids would be the blond
ones that you're talking about. I would think that will be the
top the reptiles of course it'd be the queen of England, and the
royal family and Great Britain.
Well just look at him. Hello.
The orange in the blue is completely I've never heard this
either. So I thought you might know so I'm not
I'm not familiar with the orange in the blue. I have a feeling
though, that we will be educated on this very quickly. I have a
feeling. Yeah, you might be right. We will get some
information very, very quickly. I had. Let's see. I have some
follow up on our Roger Dodger coverage. This will be Elliot
Rodger DGR Roger dodger. Is the heading in the shownotes, mainly
for the politicisation of the issue. And then, of course, Mike
Rogers, Mike Thompson, I'm sorry is back with his bill. And this
is very disturbing to me for a number of reasons. We listened
to him. He did a little press conference. After reintroducing
the let me give you the name of the bill, because that was very
specifically interesting. The the Gun Violence Prevention Task
Force is what He is the chair of and the name of the bill. Why
can't I find this promoting healthy minds for Safer
Communities Act of 2014? That's a good one. Yeah. Yeah. So let's
have a little listen to where their heads are at in this one.
It closes loopholes that are in our current gun laws, and does
this by prohibiting the purchase or the possession of a firearm
by certain groups of individuals.
I would like to remind you that what we know about Elliot Rodger
is that he apparently was on the autism scale, and was known as
an Asperger's or an aspie, as we call them. Although most people
disclaim this this was not disclaimed. In this particular
introduction of this bill, just because you have a you are on
the autism spectrum as defined by the DSM doesn't necessarily
mean you are mentally ill. Or that you have a mental health
problem. This is a very, this is this is in fact, a slippery
slope we are on
is are people who have been convicted of stalking, there are
people subjected to involuntary outpatient commitment,
this is the dangerous one involuntary outpatient
commitment means that you can be forced to go see a psychiatrist
under certain circumstances by a judge. And, you know, there's no
reason to think that a number of people cannot band together in
Austin specifically. And say, Yeah, we think Mr. Curry should
have some outpatient treatment. It's about time, don't you
think?
And people who are previously there's a one, there's one
category regarding domestic abusers, and we expand on that
we expand to include other domestic abusers right now. It's
mostly spouses.
Oh, okay. Mostly spouses, and
all the spouses and people who cohabitate. But the truth is,
we're we've expanded it to include other folks who fall
into that domestic folks.
Well, we don't know yet that there's there's no full tax
category. It also, we also build on the partnership between the
federal and the state government,
huh? Yeah, that's some partnership we got going on
there. And we provide
grants, so states can create laws that allow law enforcement
to get a warrant.
This is the problem. So there's money to be had. States are
going oh, oh, this mental health. And that sounds
interesting, we should go get some of that money
to remove firearms from the possession of any individuals
who are a danger to themselves or others.
as determined by who or how this is going to be very interesting.
Remove fire. So if someone has determined that you are a danger
to yourself, which is still a personal issue, I think, then
they are going to come in and remove your firearms.
We heard most recently on this last tragedy in Santa Barbara,
where a parent informed law enforcement that they had
concerns about their son, their son, sadly, killed a number of
people. And what we want to do is make sure when there is a
concern expressed that law enforcement is educated, they
know what's available to them, what tools are available to
them. And there's a process a legal process through through
the warrant process, to be able to take guns away from those
folks to ensure that they don't do any harm to themselves, or
others.
And the problem with this, of course, is that three of the
victims in Santa Barbara were killed in their sleep,
presumably by a knife. but we don't even know it was
categorised as a sharp object could pencil, a pencil or
whatever, anything. Yeah. So how is this going to work, you know,
but we're going to take away all just put you in a straight
jacket. So you can't do harm to yourself or anyone else. And I
find these very troubling. And of course, as I've said many
times, this will not end with removal of firearms, there will
be prohibit prohibition on where you can go. We don't think you
can be around children, we don't think you should be within a
mile of a school zone. We don't think you should go anywhere
near a public swimming pool. There's going this is a very,
very dangerous precedent. But to take it one step, so that's the
the gun angles are
a yellow six point is star.
Well, it's about to get worse. This is from MSNBC. And again,
I'm just tracking the messaging and the politicisation of this
particular event. This is MSNBC. And in this particular
conversation, there is a professional a doctor. I don't
know exactly what his qualifications are, but he is
going to say something very interesting.
And also Jonathan, medical professor of psychiatry at
Vanderbilt University. Thanks for for being here, both of you.
So Jonathan, here's my question after you know, we talked
briefly last week, but we've had an opportunity to read and see
so much more. Is misogyny a mental illness? And if it is,
should it be a mental illness that should keep someone from
being able to purchase a gun?
Well, the short answer is yes. Okay.
The short answer is yes. Misogyny is a mental
illness. That is a great catch. It's frightening
to me, John. This is not just this is frightening. This is a
professor saying massage. So if misogyny
professor was this again, do we know? Yeah,
let me just roll it. You want to roll it back? We'll play it
again.
The horn also Jonathan metal Professor site, Jonathan metal
high tree at Vanderbilt University. Thanks for for being
here, both of you. So Jonathan, here's my question after you
know, we talked briefly last week, but we've had an
opportunity to read and see so much more. Is misogyny a mental
illness? And if it is, should it be a mental illness that should
keep someone from being able to to purchase a gun?
Well, the short answer is yes.
He has a longer explanation which I do want to play, but I
just need to stop at this and say, first of all, misogyny
depending on which dictionary you look at, it will say hatred
of women, or hatred and extreme dislike of women. For this to be
categorised as a mental illness, I think you could say
Islamophobia, homophobia, racism all of these could thus be
deemed yes a mental illness. Yeah, yeah, that's what they
want to do anti semitism.
This is all part of the freedom of speech problem they're going
to crack down anti semitism mental illness but now take this
one step further. Which is the kids in school no girls allowed
with the Z at the end there and then a little clubhouse mental
illness give the kids drugs?
When when I say on the show, John, Is she hot? That is
categorised illness, as categorised by many women as a
misogynistic statement, ie a mental ill man is
speaking. Yes. Well, I've
known that for a while. Let's listen to the rest of his
explanation.
The long answer is I left the show last week actually feeling
almost kind of depressed that here we go. Again, we've had
this shooting. And
I almost don't even want to see you on the show. Because
we're friends. But But I thought here we go. Again, this is going
to be another blame issue of Oh, mental illness caused it and
it's this diagnosed mental illness that caused that. And I
think what we've seen in the aftermath of the shooting is
we've actually shifted this conversation from the individual
pathology of an individual shooter into a broader
conversation about what what the shooter represented in a way,
which was men who mistake conquest for intimacy and
respond with violence when they don't want when they don't get
what they want. And in a way, I think gender has been the kind
of white elephant in the room of a lot of these mass shootings.
And we've been too slow to recognise the role of gender and
misogyny in this. And I've actually felt almost encouraged
that, you know, in a way, what we've seen as a response to this
gun proliferation rhetoric isn't less guns, it's it's feminism,
and yes, all women and all these conversations that have been
happening have been very encouraging as rhetorics to
displace this, this crazy masculinized rhetoric of guns,
the
crazy masculinized rhetoric of guns.
Did you notice the mixed metaphor in there?
Which one?
There is? This represents the white elephant in the room?
Yeah, oh, yeah. Well, no, that isn't
a white elephant, or is it the elephant in the room?
No, it's the white elephant. white elephant in the room. The
white male elephant in the room. I might point out
Yeah, I think that's what the Did I think it was a Freudian
slip?
If you are a gay man, are you a misogynist?
If you're a lesbian who literally will say that she
hates men? Is she mentally ill?
According to this, yes. But let's take it one step. Let's
take it one step further. I told you this would happen. And here
it is.
So often after an act of mass violence, we're left asking why.
But this perpetrator told us the reason for his rampage, this man
was angry with women, not just the women who lived in his
neighbourhood who were members of sororities at the nearby
University of California, Santa Barbara, this man was angry with
all women. In a 141 page document, he wrote, quote, I
cannot kill every single female on Earth, but I can deliver a
devastating blow, it will shake all of them to the core of their
wicked hearts. It's clear misogynist motivation, and the
videos and treatises documenting it that moves this act of
violence into the category of terrorism. There you go.
It's terrorism, terrorism and mental illness, I think,
listening to the explanation, hold on back one second,
meaning it that moves this act of violence into the category of
terrorism, terrorism never had the immediate victims as the
sole target terrorism subjects, a whole categories of people to
the fear that they could be targeted solely for their
identity, and subjected to brutality and even murder. That
was this killers goal. And honestly, since last week, many
women have felt more afraid. Now, we know we're not actually
any more vulnerable today than we were last Friday afternoon
before this happened. And yet many are wondering if the stakes
are higher than we've ever imagined. If you could be
risking your life by turning down a potential suitor or
simply ignoring a cat call on the street.
So we've gone from mental illness to terrorism. Yes.
Well, things move fast in this world.
And I do want to say that, while I completely agree that if women
have major problems with verbal, mental and physical abuse, that
I just need to point out two things. And by the way, yes, all
women I mean, again, there's, I have nothing to say, but you're
absolutely right. And I take my own responsibility for my own
actions. And if I see injustice, I will say it and play it out.
And I think I've always propagated a message of respect
for all people, regardless of gender, sexuality, etc. But the
culture is working against everybody. I mean, as long as we
have culture being used, essentially to commercialise
gender, and sexuality, which is just turn on the television. If
you don't drink this beer, you're gonna you're not gonna
get laid. If you don't drive this car, you're not gonna get
laid. Oh, by the way, if you have that Google self driving
car, I guarantee you're not getting laid, that's for sure.
Now
Hello, girls.
Let me just write that down. On the other hand, I also have to
save the Mickey was watching Mad Men yesterday. It has gotten a
lot better for women to know that it has gotten better. We're
not there. And there's a lot of work to be done. But I don't
think we've gone backwards. Not even with this
email, but I still believe that this is still all a smokescreen
for an attack on free freedom of speech. This always boils down
to at some point hate speech in civic
Yes, hate speech. Well, what starts with hate crimes, which
are now a new category, a crime is a crime but no, you have a
hate crime, which is extra special. Bennett comes into hate
speech, which is going to be it's already illegal in European
countries.
Right? And you can say anything you want to say on the on your
blog or on the podcast. Yeah. But there's this word that just
keeps cropping up. Not to change the subject completely. But I do
want to transition to Hillary, because I mentioned the
newsletter, but, but you use the word over and over and they use
the word over and over politicises politicisation
politicisation I don't
know You know, it's funny. I only use it once.
But it's like this is like a this is a meme that you didn't
use it once these other people use it a bunch. You I don't
know. If you used it because it's hard to say barely
pronounce
it exactly. I can
barely pronounce it. But it goes it's said a lot. Now it's being
used even though if you think about any of these something
that's important to the society. It tends to get politicised it
just naturally tends to get politicised because the only way
you can deal with Much of this stuff is through the political
mechanism. What else is there? There's nothing I mean, so
Hillary's decided to use the politicisation meme as a way of,
of not talking about Benghazi, so she leaks. Bull crap leaks a
chapter of her book in as a defensive manoeuvre because this
Benghazi thing isn't going away anytime soon. And is what I
found this to be interesting is a little clip of it on CBS
leaked
out today from Hillary Clinton's upcoming new book in which she
defends her handling of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi,
Libya that killed four Americans. The former Secretary
of State accuses critics of trying to politicise the
tragedy. Her book, entitled hard choices is published by Simon
and Schuster, a division of CBS. Nancy Cortez has the details.
Hillary Clinton titled her chapter on Benghazi under
attack, a reference to both the 2012 assault and the onslaught
of congressional investigations in its wake, because even today,
there are questions being raised, including a new Benghazi
committee created by Republicans just this month. In excerpts
first published by Politico today, Clinton writes, those who
exploit this tragedy over and over as a political tool
minimise the sacrifice of those who served our country. GOP
lawmakers say Clinton and the administration still need to
explain why requests for more security in Libya were rejected,
and why no one has been arrested or punished for the attack.
House Speaker John Boehner. Is she right are Republicans
politicising the Benghazi attacks?
This was about one issue and one issue only. And that is getting
the truth for the American people and the truth about what
happened to Benghazi, for the four families who lost their
loved ones there.
But Clinton argues there is a difference between unanswered
questions and and listened to answers, suggests she's done
giving answers. I will not be a part of a political slugfest
over Benghazi, she writes, and those who insist on politicising
the tragedy will have to do so without me and Ghazi Benghazi,
Benghazi.
So she's trying to opt out. Yeah, I don't think that's gonna
fly. Oh, no. Well, I don't know, let me but this is a meme now as
you know, so it's bad somehow. Yeah. Why? Why is it bad to
politicise?
Me because that because you're blocking progress. Or some of
that's kind of here's what he did. This is what the kinds of
products we're talking about blocking, we have a situation
the United States would open and get it work because nobody
manufacturing is leaving the country. It's all being done in
China. And there's all kinds of other issues. So we have a high
unemployment, but because it's actually if you boil it down,
it's because of the Republicans. I want to play this Thom
Hartmann Oh, no, not thumb. Yes, this is this is classic. Boy.
Go. Yeah. So many people who are unemployed need to go to work.
There's so much opportunity. There's so much wealth in this
country. There's so much good that could be done if we could
just stop the republican obstruction. And so, on the one
hand, you know, I'm not afraid of the disaster of the
Republicans taking over because I know how I've seen that movie
before. We've all seen that movie before. We see that movie
every 80 years in this country and sometimes more frequently
than that, we also saw it at 96
What does he do historian historian Tom Hartman was
talking about
the full employment if it wasn't for the Republican you
watch that guy what is wrong with these people? If you even
watch I keep
watching it trying to get the radiation report.
Did you stop not doing the radiation reporter somebody
funny game. Oh, that's so that's lame. Well, I have some funny
stuff here. First is actually not funny, but important.
Something very important happened which went pretty much
unreported. It
took years of negotiation to reach this point, and
differences remain among the signatories. But Yellow Rousses
leader says the deal is a mutually acceptable compromise.
At the opening ceremony in Astana, the capital of
Kazakhstan. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the new
union was of historic significance.
There should be economic cooperation between Russia
Belarus and Kazakhstan is widening. Trade is developing.
The proportion of high tech goods is expanding in our
country's competitive edge in the global economy is increasing
economic.
The pact covers free trade among the member states, the
coordination of their financial systems and the regulation of
industrial and agricultural policies, labour markets and
transport networks.
This is a pretty big deal. This this block that Putin is putting
together. Oh Dad Yeah, and this is of course to know there's
there's multiple blocks with the You now they're ready to sign
the treaty, the model they called the friends and family
agreement. They're with Ukraine, Moldova, and one I'm missing
transit nista maybe No, no, that's model. It's just it's
positioning turf, all the typical stuff. It's all the
same. And, and Greece is now interested in building the South
Stream section and its territory. So all the stuff
that's being blocked through Ukraine might go through the
southern route, which the EU is now trying to. The EU Commission
is trying to freeze and it's just all more of the same. These
to the Klitschko brothers are interesting though I had never
really focused on them. To have the Vitaly Klitschko is the
mayor of Kyiv. Now what which and he was the Euro Maidan guy,
right, right. Right. But his Britain they're both boxers.
Yeah, we've Italys retired. Which one of Italy Klitschko
Okay, he's retired both boxers,
both heavyweight champs at the same time. And huge and they're
just big guys. And
this must have this probably came from our tea, but can't
remember. So he's not the mayor of Kyiv. But it's not going
over. He's not just a walk in the park. People are not quite
done with him.
They're totally Klitschko gets his first outing as Mayor of
Kyiv. The former my done leader is perfectly at ease on stage.
But as soon as he plunges into the crowd tensions mount.
You've got to deal with these banks that refuse to give us our
money back.
Did you know this?
We talked about that? Yeah, we both knew this. This was a it
was a while ago, but this became right after the after Crimea was
taken over by the Russians. The banks all clamped down. I didn't
know that it was going still going on. Yeah, I think these
are we the Russian banks and key that have decided to stop giving
up my I don't know.
He tries to enter the parliament building, but he's stopped by
mothers of conscripts serving in the east of the country.
We asked the mayor to bring back our boys safely in good health
companies. We don't want them to be
tough demands which leaves the man nonplussed. Klitschko now
wears two hats one as mayor and one as an MP. His priority is to
make care of a normal city again.
My done has fulfilled this key function thanks to my done we
now have a new presidents and other people in power. Yeah,
good
work. And every day 10s of people are dying. It Victoria
Nuland ever comes to your town leave. can immediately do that.
No good can come of it.
Children of the Eastern
to the Donbass Yeah, yeah, the dawn boss. Yeah, there's a
hashtag shipped
to kids out because they're just according to at least some of
the reports are just getting up late. sighs
horrible. And then this other Klitschko brother he lives in
Beverly Hills. Yeah. And he's getting gauged to Hayden panty
air panics here yeah like the the actress little the little
starlet from what is it Nashville that the show?
I didn't know they don't follow the the relationships that he's
gone through. But yeah, they're both from Russia. I did.
How's that fight? I watched it at home. This
is Kelly Ripka
she has Hayden Pentair on one TV. It was amazing.
It was great. It was pretty intense. The political situation
between the Russia and Ukraine is
so this other Klitschko brothers just hanging hanging out in
Russia doing fights
a little funny and lads brothers in politics. So it was and
they're both Olympic gold medalists so so so but he did an
amazing job and my hat's off to hear
when you're there and your boyfriend or I'm I'm sort of
distracted not just by the snake but there's a very large diamond
ring.
I'm not sure who cares about people dying and being shot up
and children being bombed. I'm engaged
when I announce anything signify anything. I'm gonna say
something
it might be it might be I think it speaks for me
married to a kids go yep, A long long winded note from e mod LOD
I guess it's already printed goulard Dutch Moroccan did you
get you get this note right Did I did I just choose to read the
whole thing? I want to read part of it and then get your
reaction. Okay? He says he's 30 years 33 years old Moroccan
descent is born and raised in the Netherlands though
no coincidence. 33 years old. And I have
I've been listening to this show podcast since for 26. And I'm a
producer. This may take this is my take on Wilders and the might
give you some more insight on this builders, builders
builders. I'm sorry, I said I'm just reading in the last
election when he when he won a lot of seats in parliament, the
strangest thing happened and about with no one see about when
about which I see he's got spilled on about which no one
talks about. He receives 72% of his votes from the home state
and the most southern state Limburg, right? I live there.
People have originally, mostly farmers, a lot of small
villages, they simply don't like the strangers. They are not all
racist. And he goes on to explain that it's not a he says
that the builders screwed up because it wasn't a Muslim
angle. It's a pure Moroccan problem goes on to say there are
a few. There are a few who are really screwing it up for the
rest of us. And I hate them as most of the Moroccan community
does. But what that happens in all countries in the world, he
goes on to say that we were misinterpreting the
I'm okay, I'm in a knee
if he dropped a Muslim thing. He'd be better off. But it
was specifically a quote from builders who said, what are we
going to do with all the Moroccans that actually that was
the quote that turned everybody against him, interestingly
enough, right? It wasn't any Muslim. It was not it was not a
Muslim quote. So I'm not too sure. But without doubt, he's
correct. That it is the let's just call them the bad Moroccans
that's how the Dutch speak of them that are causing the
problems. But on a grander scale, it is unavoidable to
speak of the third wave of the Ottoman Empire which is not just
in the Netherlands, but as the wave is going across all of
Europe. So I'm not quite sure what to make of, of of our
producers, email other than well of course, you know, it's a
generalisation and maybe that's maybe that was voltage problem
is that he generalised? What are we going to do with the
Moroccans instead of the the shitty ones who are making real
problems for the really against the the entire culture of the
Netherlands have a very liberal free loving society where you
used to be able to hold hands with your same sex partner in
the street. And now you can't do that anymore for fear of some
crazy Moroccan coming up and kicking you or a huge
misogynistic vibe from Moroccans towards women in general, the
misogynistic Moroccans the m&ms. But of course, you can't
generalise and say all Moroccans, and I think maybe
that's where builders made his mistake. And people said, you
know, but again, is there's so much history of persecution in
the Netherlands of certain groups that I use, they just
played it wrong. And then the the other political parties spun
it in a smart way and screwed him out. But the media, well, of
course, of course, what the hell, that's how it always works
about the media screwing things up. So I'm listening to Van cat
and they had this report on the new trends in wine. And I kind
of keep up with the wine business. And I was actually
stunned by what is an erroneous report is essentially all lies.
About a there was a new thing going on in France where they're
putting wine in vials and you can buy a little vial, which is
about a glass of wine, and you can buy wine by the glass in
these files. And then they came up, they came up with his wine
in cans nonsense. And I wanted to talk about this because this
is bullcrap.
During these times of fast food, restaurants and eating on the
go, and other unusual product is appearing on shelves in trendy
grocery stores across Paris. Canned wine Stedelijk. It's a
girl that launched the concept a year ago and currently has three
classified controlled Designation of Origin wines from
the longer dog region to choose from. When
we decided on an individual 187 millilitre format, which is one
quarter of a bottle, we developed a special coating for
the inside so there is no contact in the wine and the
metal. It's like a layer of food To grade lacquer, there are two
coatings and addresses a problem or reactions due to acidity and
alcohol levels such as wine can be kept in the cupboard for a
few months, a few years.
The wine is canned with nitrogen, a neutral gas that
allows the wine to retain its aroma. Nowadays, some purists
will be saying it's a crime to sell wine and cans. Say that he
believes it will bring growth to the industry. Well,
okay, that's I gotta straighten some stuff out because it really
galls me that the media does this they produce these phoney
reports. More native advertising as far as I can tell, since my
first visit to France was in the 70s. I brought back a can of
wine. Specifically because it was a great conversation piece.
I bought a couple cans of this Beaujolais that was can commonly
in France in the 70s. So this guy didn't invent anything, but
it make it sound like just invented stuff. Then they also
said we developed a coating. Okay. Point in information
number two, I worked in the Kaiser aluminium cans factory
one summer when I was going to college, and I'm very familiar
with the coatings that they put inside cans because all the kit
there's no such thing as an uncoated can, you can't do it.
So they're all coated, they've always been coated. There's two
coatings, which are the two he talks about one's a lacquer
coating and the other is an epoxy coating. They used to use
the lacquer coating for mild things, you know, just nothing
important than anything that had a little, a little bite to it a
little phosphoric acid, let's say like Coca Cola, they had to
use this heavy duty coating, which is what they'd be using
for the wine. This is this whole story was bullshit.
Yeah, well, and you're surprised
and this is France of wine country that makes a lot of
wine. What do you think the single I'm not surprised? I'm
surprised was France producing this. This phoney story? And
language doc wines, please. What was your lay would be better? Uh
huh. Anyway, I'm sorry. It's just little irks. So I was
irked. irked, I'm telling you,
I think it's okay. You know what, I'm going to stop you
right there. We should get out of here. Are you going up to
