So we blew up the Brotherhood pipeline. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak. Thursday, June 19. Time for your Gitmo nation media
assassination episode six to seven.
This is no agenda,
commandeering six screens simultaneously and coming you
from FEMA Region six here in the Travis Heights had up in the
capital, the drone Star State in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley where I've got one crummy
screen. I'm John C. Dvorak skill.
Well, I gotta tell you, I'm very I'm freaking out. I'm so happy,
John. Okay. Now, on Sunday I told you about
this has nothing to do with Benghazi.
No, not heavier than No, no, no, no, no, this is much better than
Benghazi. On Sunday, I told you that I had this issue where I
have the new podcast set up in the rig running on on a MacBook
Air. And that's where kind of like the audio stuff happens.
And then I had these other screens, which is the kind of
the legacy system but they're big screens. And that's where
I've got the, you know, the show prep in the show notes and the
web browser and everything. And inadvertently, I'll be typing on
one keyboard going on. And I'm titling, not the one for the,
for the machine I'm on. Okay, and you know, helpful producers
sent me tons of ideas KVM switches and those things and
then producer Mike, the COC, he was the first and a couple other
people sent it blew my mind with this thing called the synergy
project. Now, oh, man, to the synergy project. Open Source
works on PC, Linux and Mac, you load it on one one on the main
machine that is going to be like the server but as the one that
has the keyboard and controls, you want to use. Synergy dash
project.org. And then you load the client on any other machine.
And then you can position the screens virtually. So I can I
now use the one mouse and keyboard. And I go down to the
bottom of the screen and it appears on my MacBook Air. I go
to the right. And it appears on the Windows machine that's
running my my ham stuff. It's it's the freakiest thing you've
ever seen. Wow. It's really cool.
That sounds cool. Well, nerdily it sounds cool. But
I mean, how often have you had like, you know, like, Oh, if
only I could have all these systems integrated? If I could,
you know, I hate going back and forth between those call the
synergy project. Yeah, synergy dash project.org. Hmm. And it's
open source. I donated 50 bucks to the guy immediately. I mean,
people you have to support independent software developers
like this. I mean, this is a phantom. This is probably saved
me 1000 bucks on a stupid Apple monitor I would have had to buy.
Well, this saves you 1000 bucks as well worth 50.
Yeah. The world's values. Yeah, it fell. Yeah. I just never. I'd
never been heard of this before.
Ah, well, that's the problem. You know, in the olden days when
I was a kid, young writer. Yeah, we used to write about stuff
like this.
Oh, yeah, exactly. And it would, it would be great. And it'd be
successful for the guy. And then he could go to these little
conventions and put his floppy disks in a plastic baggie and
sell it for 25 bucks
baggie? You got it? Yeah, right. Yeah, nowadays, just right about
phones. Oh, the new phone is a different shade of yellow. And
you can drop it from half of what six inches and it won't
shatter.
Oh, I have to say I was watching. I was flipping around
watching the coverage of the Amazon. Fire Phone. Yeah. And it
was really funny if this thing had come from if this had been
from Apple people would have been there's so genius over
there at Apple and now it was all disdain you like it's true.
It's Amazon. Oh, yes. Oh, and I think you know, I don't want
this phone because yeah, I don't need more cameras tracking my
face. Thank you. But from from Amazon's I think it's a genius
move.
That's a beautiful phone.
It's a beautiful phone and you and it's you get a free year
prime where that so it's almost free. Not quite, you know, it'll
be free one day. But it's it's well that's the joke of it. It's
got stuff in it that people actually care about. Oh, yeah,
let me just Oh, yeah. I got this by this. It's a cash register. I
don't know. But just the the disdain of the tech press.
Because Amazon
the joke of it is that the tech press of which I am still a
member. The tech press in general is just their their
ideas that are getting more
well let me give you another example. So also yesterday,
and they're all in Oh, you know I Was Your Man. Let me tell you
this story. So hi. This is from years ago when Mac user was hey,
welcome.
Welcome to the Walter and Statler show everybody.
So this was years ago, one of the guys one of the editors of
PC Magazine that says to me, he says, You know, I don't believe
that the kind of the kind of lack of of objectivism there is
involved with some of these people that are getting writing.
This was a while ago, where the Mac user staff was in a meeting
with the PC mag staff and in a meeting with the shopper, there
was a big giant editorial meeting of all these hot shots.
And the Mac users that gets up, run this woman, I think your
name was Pamela something, they get up and as they leave this
home, they say Mack forever.
Mocking Tasha Uber Allah's.
Like what? Wow, really? Yeah.
So here's another example. There were, there were a couple of
different things announced yesterday, yesterday T Mobile,
unveiled their unraid audio service is what they call I
guess what, I'm not sure what they're calling it. But the idea
is, if you're streaming music, on T on your T Mobile phone,
that data will not count towards your overall data usage and help
you know that will make you hit your eventual data cap.
Yeah, T mobile's kind of oriented toward unlimited data
anyway, the goal right,
but but where is the outrage over net neutrality? This is I
mean, so wait a minute. So if you stream the no agenda show
that does get counted against your data cap because we're not
on Pandora or whatever other service? Right, but where is the
tech press going? Well, this is a fine example of no instead
they're fawning over it. Oh, great. free all you can slurp
music.
Yeah, no, it's true.
No, anyone's saying that. I don't see anyone saying that.
Yeah,
no, it's a pathetic operation right now. I mean, it's just a
bunch of I don't know. I don't I'll complain about it. When
we're not dead, as long as people are helping us out in
this show it
right when we're dead. We'll talk about it.
Guys, sure. Elder Greg. He held a grudge into the grave, man.
Well, well, well, hey, I'm
sorry to hear about your dog. Oh, jeez. I heard about your dog
on Facebook.
Yes. And this is what irks me. I haven't really called her out on
it yet. My wife's dog died. She bought her favorite dog. We have
lots of dogs and we're still pretty dark. But there's a
favorite dog this basset hound who we nothing but row racket
constantly, ever since she was someone who would always be
barking about Yes. Yes. And you'd always complain about this
dog.
Now I feel bad. I feel bad. It's your fault.
And so the dog was all I effect. I still have a bunch. I should
have. Oh, I'll do it for the next year. I'll clip something.
I've got clips of the dog howling.
Yeah. Used to be kind of funny. But we're talking five, six
years ago. This is a long time ago.
Well, the dog finally died because she had cancer. There
was an operable. And but me me the dog was supposed to die like
two years ago, like within a couple of weeks. So about two
years ago, when the dog was diagnosed with cancer and going
to die in two weeks. Mimi started just you know, pampering
the dog. So the dog went for two years.
Sleeping on her bed. I know I've listened I've had plenty of
pets. I know the curve.
So the dog goes two years, even though she's supposed to die in
two weeks. All the expertise out there. And let me guess to two
years
and how much? I don't know. I don't know. I bet 1000s of
dollars. Oh,
no, no, no, no. No, we did we got around that one. Oh, it was
just really feeding her custom made food. And it turned out she
lived even longer due to the fact that the dog really perked
up when she was given Vienna francs. Not too bad. But Vienna
fried course is not because you're going to hear what I say
Vienna Frankston one of the worst abominations ever put in a
can. These are canned frankfurters. And they come with
these little cans and these little frankfurters. I think
some people actually eat these things. And whatever the case
is, the dog loves them. So she goes through cases of these
things. And so here's what galls me. My wife tells her Facebook
community before she tells me about the dead dog.
I knew that was extremely offensive. I knew
just another element of the reason I hate Facebook. Well, I
have people have to this to these anonymous Facebook
followers. Yeah.
And of course I mean, do you want me to read some of what the
people said in response?
Oh my God, no, Life is funny. Back back.
What do you think it is?
I doubt it. Oh, I'm so sorry. I know you love the dog so much
that I feel for you and the dog I had good. God bless. Okay, God
bless. So
here's the posting is from Mimi. Hannah. June 2004, June 18 2014
most demanding stubborn dog I've ever known. And there's
no issue in June to June. That's interesting. Yeah. 10 years, I
guess. Yeah. 10 years, which is
28 comments. Let's see. To hear comments. Oh, I'm so sorry. OMG
I am sorry. Sending love and hugs to you. Hugs now that
saying something? Hu G Z. No hugs in asterixis. So sorry for
your loss. Happy Trails. Hannah. Say hello to my gang at the
Rainbow Bridge. So sorry meaning hope you feel comforted that you
gave her the most loving home and lots of love for her life,
and may have been something she wouldn't have had without you.
Rip Hannah. Sorry, Mimi. Never easy all I'm so sorry. Beautiful
dog. Godspeed, Hannah. I do love me some hounds. And then there's
a couple people just liking it. That's kind of weird. Just like
that is so sorry for your loss. I'm so sorry for you, Hannah. I
hope you connect with my Kobe. You will get along great meanie
two years on 22nd My Kobe had gone to the bridge. I'm with
you. God, stop. It has for it. I mean, that's all it Facebook
really is is reminding you that someone it's someone's birthday.
So you could do something completely uninteresting. Like
hey, man, I remembered your birthday because of course you
didn't. And if you haven't, we have an MTV alumni private group
that I guess it's you know, people who work there in the 80s
and 90s. At a certain point I posted in there I said look, the
only thing I ever hear here is about reunions and who died. I'm
opening up a dead pool.
This is you. Yes, you're getting kicked out of it. No, I'm
still in the group. And I said, Hey, Calvin, i My money's on
you. I know he had cancer. So like you're gonna be next odd
but he ended he is alive. We're very morbid like that. Of course
now I haven't heard from him for seven months. So I don't
know the Facebook thing. It's just interesting because never
does anyone go on and say My life sucks. I'm depressed I hate
everything. Even when someone dies like Oh, Godspeed sending
hugs. To little Yeah,
you've made this point before and I think you're cuz I'm not a
member and I've really avoided it because I just don't have the
time. And I don't have the inclination I don't care. But I
think your probably your analysis at Facebook is probably
as good as any
what that it's bad for your health.
People that and all the other stuff you've said the trick I do
still in it, which is
well the trick is I have my to my RSS feed from my microblog
automatically goes to I can select if I want it to go to if
I want that post to go to Twitter, and probably about 70%
does. And then anything that's posted on Twitter gets posted on
Facebook, and then once a week and my daughter deactivated her
accounts and now it's last although I want to see what
Nikki says she
deactivated what account her Facebook account. Your daughter.
Yeah, she's gone with Facebook. Yeah. Well, good for her. Oh,
yeah. No,
I see. She's sick and tired of it. And we'll go on and people
will be responding. And they'll have like a whole conversation
about a post that was automatically reposted from my
blog to my twitter to Facebook. And I'm like, these people have
no conversation. They think I'm in it. And I'm not because I
didn't post it there. Just kind of showed up.
Yes, another thing that galls me I've always been annoyed by
these reposts in fact that's why I've said this before anybody
that I follow on Twitter and I follow a few I think 900 people
or so if they're posting if I see Foursquare something
something something's there boom they're locked locked. I don't
want to if I want to hear where they they're where they're
having a hamburger or their little Denny's eating a double
Denny's I don't care for square and it's got their check in
there done. I don't need them. I don't want to know this. I don't
I don't even get clogging up my brain.
I don't even I don't even look at my the people I follow on
Twitter only go on to see what they're saying to me or about
me.
Well, that would be you. Yeah, that makes sense for you.
However, Google Plus
I do use the app on my Nexus because of all I got a disease
commute. It's like a news group.
Yeah, yeah, I'll
bet Well, the ham guys are on there. That's kind of cool.
Now the reason I wasn't really involved in news groups I mean,
I follow them once in a while, but I always had no ads in the
news.
This is you're ruining the internet.
It ruining the internet with ads. What happened to those
guys?
Were all there now hams. They've always been here. So right off
the bat, I just want to say, I have been evaluating the world
of Soccer World Cup soccer. Oh, right.
We do have to discuss this. Remind people who especially
newcomers to the show that the two of us have predicted every
World Cup winner since this show and the inception of the show,
which I think is only one or two match. And we've also predicted
the Pope. We've predicted also predicted Super Bowls we
predicted. What else did we pre Olympic champion? A lot of
stuff, and we'd base it on the idea that the games are rigged.
Yes. Well, and political leverage.
And this is not just some conspiracy in the cloud, in the
FIFA, admits themselves, that there's you know, particularly
with these World Cups, you've got to think aren't these guys,
it's mainly Chinese. And they actually they'll come on to the
field, they've got the backstage passes. And they'll bribe
players, particularly players of poor countries who aren't making
mega million salaries like some of these European guys are. And,
and if you've seen some of the highlights recently of these of
these goalies that dropped that can't quite catch the ball. And
then they throw it into the net. Yeah.
Oh, well, who knows? Yeah, of course, of course. Yes.
Oh, mine. Oh, the guy feels so bad.
Even the the football, the FIFA guys, the Football Association,
the very top is pretty well known that there. In fact,
there's a big scandal now, about the 2022 World Cup going to
Qatar after Bill Clinton brought in like, you know, Brad Pitt,
and everyone was like, this was supposed to be our year in 2022.
And it went to a place with a desert where it's 120 degrees in
the morning, hey, hits in the morning, and now it's coming out
that all of these FIFA guys, you know, we're all bribed. You
know, one guy's 10 year old daughter has a $2 million bank
account. In her name. Yeah. So there's a very obvious and that
they, they just bribed into choosing. So now this is this is
probably the most challenging year we've ever had. Because so
many countries have so many problems. And there's also just
a general, you know, sometimes it's just a general kumbaya
feeling that a country has to receive because they're being
screwed in a particular manner by the elites. And then there's
also just you know, who is mighty and who wants to show
that they are the shit. And Germany very interesting,
Germany this year, besides having the hottest footballers,
wives ever. You've seen some of these women from the German to?
Ah,
oh, yeah. But yeah, but there's no sympathy for hot why?
No, no, but But again, this is for the, we're all powerful and
German. The Germans like kind of doing that. And they've always
gotten quite far in though in the World Cup. They built in
camp in, in Brazil, a 25 million euro camp, by the way, they they
they're good at building camps. They built this.
Sorry. I delivered didn't I? Good?
Actually, one of my Jewish friends gave me that line. Now
you're the Jewish lesbian. A 25 million euro camp. And they and
I, but it's like 500 miles away, or kilometers away from
make a difference because those they've matches are like 1000s
of miles away. So
they're right near the airport. So they hop on the private jet,
but it's like a resort. And they they're really all in on winning
this thing. There's a big deal to them.
Yeah, well, what do you say let's get to the Okay.
Well, here's what let me just give you an it's also it's a
little early to tell but
I would like to pick these I mean, of course this is
something you always pick get lucky at the end. I've already
got my pick. And I have a rationale. Okay,
well, let me let me get let me give you let me give you the
field, obviously Brazil, although they did quite poorly.
Brazil would be top of the list because you know, they put the
$400 million and in stadium and you know, people are eating rats
and they eating each other in the streets. So it's obvious
that it would be nice to kind of smooth that over and make
everybody feel happy because they're rioting and then having
to have to kill the slaves because they're angry about this
whole thing taking place. That would be the obvious choice.
Yeah. But there
are other way is my choice. Yes, of
course. And I want to put it up there. But there are some other
obvious ones. I would say Nigeria, for a number of reasons
should have a shot. If only for the fact that it wasn't just
yesterday, 14 people were killed. They were watching the
World Cup and someone blew them up. That's kind of a to tell
usually. But also, let me see if I have this here. Argentina
Yeah, no, I Nigeria. I can see the rationale. But the problem
there of course, is the team isn't any good.
Well, you strange Stranger things have happened.
That's true. But then I had to give it to an African team. Or
the Argentinian thing is a political nightmare. Because
what happened and I know what you're saying because Argentina,
I have a one minute clip. Let's see if we can play the clip and
people understand the Argentinian situation.
The International Monetary Fund has warned Argentina that its
legal defeat against hedge fund investors may have wider
implications, when I say it is has already agreed a
restructuring plan with the majority of its investors
holding its defaulted debt. But on Monday, the US Supreme Court
sided with the remaining bondholders who refuse to cut a
deal. They're demanding that Argentina pay them almost 950
million euros. Yeah, we can't be prevented from honoring the
commitments we've made with our creditors and bondholders who
agreed to the restructuring of our debt. That's 93% of our
creditors who are collecting payments, and have collected
them on time and to have control of their bonds.
And by the way, I think it was the US Supreme Court
that made a decision isn't that funny? That determines if
they're gonna go broke or not when I first heard this I
thought that was supreme court but no, it was ours. National
show the the woman that runs bras, Argentina shows we're not
going to be extorted and she's gonna have to pay our bills.
And she's the wife of the of the guy who died, right?
Yeah, this is a classic, crazy and thing.
I like her though, because she she's kind of hot here. She's
kind of I don't think so. She's got that MILFy kind of thing.
Yeah, I
don't know. I'm not in agreement on this.
Pie like powerful women.
That's what it is. No, that could be.
So you know, Argentina, Nigeria, Germany, just because they've
put so much in and they need to show that they are Uber Allah's
warehouses. Now, how's Ukraine doing Ukraine even have a team?
I don't know. I don't think there. I haven't heard anything
about the Ukraine team.
Let me see. Well, it's also you might not even be in it. It's so
far away before. Before the finals are played. Let me see.
Well, we can wait until we get to the final. I don't think he
will call it at eight. I don't think
Ukraine and of course everyone's excited. Everyone's excited
about the Netherlands. But the Dutch always choke at the end.
There are they're a good team, though. It's a great team, but
they always choke. Last, I
don't think they choke. They're just not allowed to win.
I think they take I think if anyone takes bribes as those
guys Yeah, sure, for sure. And USA would be nice. But that give
us a break is not gonna happen. Not gonna happen. But I think it
would have to be an African nation or South American nation.
I just don't see making sense for it to be and if the Germans
would win, I mean, really,
no, that's not going to work. It's got to be Brazil or
Argentina. But I think Brazil because they're the ones who
they made a huge sacrifice, got blood in the streets, and
they're there, they still have the Olympics to go which is
going to like create a revolution if something is done,
but the Brazilians would be so happy because they always the
Brazilians think of themselves as the best soccer players in
the world period. Yes, no, but he's as good and so they would
be you know, see it was worth it. It was worth all the money
we spent Yeah, that would be the way it is it makes sense to me.
And they had to make some have a couple of Clickers in there so
the game against make so they won't lose the game right? So
did that right? Just to make it look good? Make it
so I go to the meat market is just right, which is a battalion
place where I'm with all Mexicans inside. And they
they're all listening. You hear this thing on the radio the
Mexican Brazilian Jiu, by the way, the Spanish.
I once went to the Galleria Mall in Los Angeles during the semi
finals and I think it was Mexico then as well. Or maybe
quarterfinals. Yeah, and the whole was, there was no one in
the shop, they were all congregated around the food
court. Where, where the game was playing? It was weird.
Well, anyway, it does. So they so they're playing this thing
and everyone's cheering in the place. Yeah. And I'm going
through the checkout and I'm saying, you know, you guys
couldn't beat Brazil if you had to. And you know, just, uh, just
was checking out before they could spit in my food. Right?
And she screeches Yes, yes, yes. And I said, what happened? She
says it's a tie. Yeah, well, that's good. That's good. And I
said, Okay, you're Brazil. And I'm assuming that there was like
one to nothing and, and Mexico tied the game with a goal. There
was no goals. No. And you were listening to these this Mexican
announcer literally going berserk. And though this is the
most exciting, it was good. It was good. The 00
game? Yes. It's a great game, isn't it? This is why it will
never never work in America. We can't we don't get excited over
00 I'm sorry. Nil. Nil.
Nil nil.
That's, it's not the American culture. Now we need we need
points. You know, you get the ball in the net. We want six
points. Now one. Had the UK is in trouble though. There is a
huge cocaine shortage in the UK. And people are very mad. The
Brits need their coke when they're watching the games.
Apparently there's like sounds like
the use of cocaine. Yeah, well, you watch watching sports look
now
but what happens is they drink. You say they drink so much. And
then they need to do a little toot for the snoot and then
they're out there, okay. And if you don't, then they become
annoying, and they start fighting and oh, this is very
important for it. I live there. This is very important for
British culture. There's some I guess they some shipment got
picked up or something. Bad news, just the spike prices.
Well, it could be because of the time to jack up the prices.
Something World Cup, you know, something we didn't discuss the
the Dutch female field hockey team won the world championship.
And I'm a big fan of the sport.
Yeah, well, I You just like to have shorts. It will you should
just Google
Dutch female field hockey team. Not
Yes, they are super high. I'd rather watch the Brazilian
volleyball team, but they would go on. And
otherwise, I've just become completely obsessed with what
the Kagan's
think Kagan, the Kagan's and you have a jingle for them. Yeah,
no, we
have here we have a whole bunch of jingles for them. We've got
we have the mic. I have this I like to shout but this is also
brought to you by clan Kiki, do you have that?
And then just the Kagan's what happened is you kind of turned
me on to her that so it is partially your fault. You turn
me on. You turn me on to Kim Kagan. Screw Kim Kardashian, Kim
Kagan is the way to go. And she was on that C span callin show.
Oh, I missed that. I've been watching nothing but C span.
Yeah.
And of course, no one from our show called in. I didn't catch
it live. I saw the repeat on because you would have called it
Oh yeah. There were some good colons. I didn't nothing that I
clipped for the show. But there were there were some people just
saying oh, look, she's a it's the same people who brought us
in Iraq the past time. We're doing it again. Yeah, but of
course the questions all get circumvented. It's it's not it's
not really a good show. But right from the get go. She had
me I have now her cadence the way she talks. Oh, yeah. And
she's she's pretty look at she has a very pretty she has this
kind of she had this a C span so it's not like you're getting
hair and makeup. But she had you know her hair was kind of very
dark curly little oily. But no long and she had no she's very
pretty. But awkwardly pretty awkward. Thank you. That's the
word awkwardly pretty. But she is She talks like she's an MK
Ultra patient. Totally. Oh my God, I know. So just listen to
the cadence. And this is this is uh, this is after the
introduction, which I just cut off. And she's being introduced
and this the first minute out of her mouth and where she likes
you. I am going to now explain the whole thing in one minute.
But you know, like she's been drilled as to what to say.
The present has to take military action in some way shape or form
right. Right now, in this changing situation is And when
in fact, airstrikes are obviously being discussed and
are on the table the theory being to bombed some of the
positions held by ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and sham
the extremist group
now very interesting. She continuously refers to ISIS as
the let me just see what she's gonna get the exact wording.
This is important,
bombed some of the positions held by ISIS, the Islamic State
of Iraq and Shami is
the Islamic State of Iraq and sham and she's very consistent
about this and yet she
is She insists on using the duty accurate Yes. wordage
and this is very important, and it's glossed over and I have not
seen anyone in the media properly address this. I think
we're the only ones who keep saying what is it is is or ISIL
right and some people a
lot of people say both they say is our whatever you want to call
it
well worse. Associated Press has released their style guide and
they say it's isas Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, right? Which
is bullcrap. Now, is AI l would be a little more correct because
it's the Islamic State. In the Levant right and Levant if you
Google Levant, you will see that the Levant is really the whole
region that includes Syria, Jordan, Israel, Palestine,
southern Turkey, and I did some research. Heaven forbid we bring
that up. Yeah, well, that would be the reason and I'll Shaam is,
is is the, the proper word for the Levant. So it means the same
thing. And I believe she is correct.
No, she is correct. And he's the only one I would say right now
she is the she is the one she's the go to girl. Yes, we want to
get what's going on from her? Oh, it's crazy. Well, that's the
one.
So what I liked about my research into the Levant, or Al
Sham, is it takes us back to something you brought into the
group many years ago with the film Paris 1919. What was it
1912?
I think it was 9999. It was after world after
World War night with parents. And it's a documentary type film
about the divvying up of the Middle East. Right. And what is
on the Brits basically? Well, it is the psych Sykes pico
agreement. This is what drew these lines. So it was the Brit
Sykes and the French when Pico. And after the after the First
World War they they essentially divided everything up and they
drew these lines. And so Britain, you know, they they got
essentially, they got Israel, and they created that. And then
the French they got southern Turkey and they got Iraq and the
breads
got Iraq.
I'm looking right now. No, I don't think the Brits got I
think that the Brits had part of Syria. Oh, here it is. Well,
anyway, the Russians, they got Istanbul It was essentially just
drawing lines. So there is definitely a geopolitical strife
happening, that is meant and this and if you if you Google
the sites Pico and you go back in the news reports back to even
a year and a half ago, you'll see that this is in play. And,
and the idea of removing these fictional borders. I was I was
talking with Nicky about it this morning. And it's kind of like,
you know, imagine you have a country called Iraq and it
consists of the Netherlands Belgium and Germany. You know,
it's like three very different cultures three similar yet very
different dialects and languages. Oh, and add to it,
this religion thing, and this is the thing that that slays me the
most is that the the people of the world actually believe that
this is all about religion.
Yeah, me all and so does Harry Reid. But anyway, so let's
actually all of our Congress does. Oh, yeah, both and, you
know, all in on this, to me is
if you're fighting about religion, everybody deserves to
die. What the hell kind of religion is it then? It's
stupid. The whole idea is insane. That that's what you're
fighting about. No. This is about oil, plain and simple. And
we'll get to that. Let's continue with Kim's explanation.
And she writes she and she, of course, founded the Institute
for the Study of war. I wish I would have RSS feeds. I've been
following that. And every day they have an update with a map
and God I love what she's doing.
This group that has taken over the city of Mosul and is moving
southward, but So
I want to use this cadence that she has. You can back it up this
cadence that she has and I want you to look this woman up to
take a look what she looks like this it sounds exactly like
this. This woman, Pastor Melissa Scott.
Is she the one with a crazy long hair with the blackboard? Yeah,
I've seen her. Yes.
It sounds just this is Yes, that's right. Then Cree married
a younger woman, which is this woman who's a I guess she knows
30 languages or something. And she then she has this exact same
weird way of talking is kind of stilted. Hard to explain kind of
stiff. Yes. Precise.
She's, she's a televangelists. Right? Yeah, she's a
televangelist. And she has this whiteboard. And she's walking up
and dry. And she's fascinating to watch. I don't think I would
know where to see here other than on the internet, but I used
to like bump into her.
She's on show, ya know, I
bumped into it sometimes well, but don't surf around anymore.
But anyway, that's who this was. Yes.
Who was who was who was Jean Scott.
Jean Skye was his great televangelists who would stay on
the air 24/7 begging for money and pretty much doing nothing
else. And he was fascinating. He wasn't even I think he's dead,
isn't it? Yeah, he died years ago. Oh
my god this Melissa Scott is a smokin hot.
Yeah, she's gorgeous. And Jean Scott used to she's, they have
these crazy theories. And he was who's an offbeat theologian. I
think he got a degree in religion.
This is this is the kind of women crackpots attract. Nice,
alright. Yeah, very much like Kagan good call
group that has taken over the city of Mosul and is moving
southward. But airstrikes alone, do not actually help with the
core problem, which is shoring up the Iraqi Security Forces,
which have received a terrible blow to their confidence, and
which need assistance commanding and controlling their movements
from from where they are to where they need to be, and
maneuvering on the ground. In short, the United States really
ought to send advisors, advisors to help, you know, in small
groups with the Iraqi Security Forces groups, and also to make
airstrikes effective, because we need good ground intelligence to
make sure that airstrikes do not kill civilians. And there is a
huge mobilization of the Sunni population alongside of ISIS
right now. And the potential for killing civilians is actually
really high.
So here, she's pitching the idea of advisors. We'll come back to
that in a moment. Let's just go through a couple things about
how big the problem really is. Now, there's a number of players
on the field here, and the ones that are most quiet at the
moment are the Kurds, who now have the Kirk, Kirk, Kirkus,
kirker Stanny oil fields, the refinery, yeah, they're making
like a bandit. And then they've got the pipeline going right up
to up into Turkey. So they're, they're quiet, and they're doing
their thing. And then we have, of course, the Maliki
government. And this guy is now he's now in military fatigue. So
walking around in the military a whole day. And so apparently,
you know, the Iranians might be helping him and then we have
this group led by the Al Baghdadi, this is fantastic.
Which is a fictional character, Al Baghdadi, which basically
means the dude from Baghdad, like I could be al ostini. Or Al
Bundy for all I care al back Dini to Bundy and even the just
last week, what's his name? General. Brigadier General Kevin
Bergner, in a news conference said this guy doesn't exist.
There is no real leader. Of course not. Because this is
obviously funded by the Arabian states that are friendly to the
United States. Because the whole idea here is, as you've pointed
us, to rob allies is to turn this into a huge mess, and have
all Iraqi oil pumped out as circumventing anything Russia
does, because remember, Syria also used to be a Russian issue.
We were talking we talked about Syria, we talked about Russia
and Iran, and then with only Syria would only be Russia. And
then we cut Russia off and Ukraine. And then now we're
cutting them off down below.
I want to stop you there with Al Baghdadi being a totally
fictitious character. It's possible that he has but the
other possibility is he's actually a trainee. Well, he's a
brand. Well, he may be but he came from us. He's one of our
boys. Yeah, I want you to play this clip. that which I didn't
know at all. Okay. And this is the this was the hearing that
took place this week on the there's a bunch of hearings on
the trade of the five Taliban ease for the one deserter. And
everybody's up in arms about it. And this little tidbit came up
this is the one soldier five Taliban clip, this little tidbit
came out that I didn't know Oh, hold on a second.
Was the trainee the transfer of one American soldier for five
Taliban a wise decision? In your opinion?
Congressman, you know, I think we should look at a at this
policy as a whole and learn from it. Right now a gentleman by the
name of Mullah Abdul Zach here is the head of the Taliban
Military Committee that we released previously from
Guantanamo, right and we're paying that price now. And
further Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, the head of ISIS, that's
terrorizing Syria and Iraq right now, was also detained in camp
buco. And we need to learn lessons from these from these
releases that we're paying for later.
So in your opinion, is probably not a wise policy to implement.
Okay. Right.
So this guy came out of that one camp, which is very suspect to
me in Jordan.
I think we train all these guys. We train these guys in Jordan.
Yeah, yeah. They're trained somewhere. Yeah,
that's the reports I have. They were trained for this whole
thing. It's fantastic. So ISIS, and we'll call it ISIS, Islamic
State in Sharm just to be correct. They've got the Twitter
app.
Yeah. Rakesh, I couldn't find by the way I couldn't find that
down the internet was probably because they shut down the
internet. No.
Well, there's lots of news stories, but no one actually has
a link. And I tried to visit apparently only an Android so I
tried to find their the ISIS Twitter app. But they also they
have a really nice annual report which they released. Did you see
their annual report? No, you got me on now? Yeah, no, it's a
whole PDF. Now the cool thing is the original is hard to find and
of course is in Arabic, but the Institute for the Study of war
obviously they have a a as a shortened version in English
complete and they've done the not just the translation.
They've done a whole beautiful layout. I'm sure they did. The
original as well is what I'm getting at. And it shows you
Well, it's interesting. I'll bring it up right now. It shows
how many suicide vests they've exploded with graphs and bar
graphs and charts. Let me show you what they've got. The ISIS
annual reports reveal metrics driven military command. I
haven't seen this for American military command, annual report
organization. Okay, they have the attack types assassination,
armed armed attack bombing, bombing and burning houses,
prisoners, freed suicide vehicle borne improvised explosive
devices, suicide vests, motorcycle borne improvised
explosive devices, knife attacks, targeted attacks,
sniping, apostates, repented, cities, taken over checkpoints
set up and bar graphs for every single one of these metrics,
operations by province percentage of attacks, it's
fascinating to watch but beautifully recreated by Kim
Kagan's group there. And Kim Kagan's group, I need to point
out, this is the group that also produced us with produced
Elizabeth Oh, baggy or baggy, remember her? No, this was the
girl who and she was perfect. She was the one she was the go
to girl for Syria. And she was, in fact, it was John Kerry and
John McCain, who would be quoting her research. And then
it turned out that she didn't have a PhD and she had to go
away. You do remember the story? Yeah. Remember that? Vaguely she
was from the Institute for the Study of war? Uh huh. So she was
the problem was, she was advising military, politicians
and industry simultaneously. Some would say, a conflict of
interest. Some, some might say it's somewhere. Okay, here's the
Kim regarding the really the scale of this and that it's much
bigger than just Syria and Iraq
doing this to provoke sectarian violence. And we end the lie
that it's for sectarian violence, okay to remember that
ISIS actually wants to provoke sectarian violence. It is trying
to create a sectarian war throughout the Middle East with
violence that goes from south of Baghdad, all the way through
Syria into Lebanon and into neighboring states. And this
civil war will meet what we saw in Iraq in 2006. Seven, pale in
comparison,
is gonna be a bonanza is gonna be a big one. All the way down
the Jordan rivers of Jordan are deep and wide.
Just been hinted at that Jordan would get get sucked into early
on
they're part of your Lavon fair Ward is fair warning. Fair
warning.
Oh, yeah, now they're paying attention, you'd know that this
is going to happen. Now,
Biden said a number of years ago that we should split this place
up anyway, which of course is the mission is to create a new
state. Have the Kurds have their thing with the oil, which with
all of this is really about at the end of the
day, I think that Kurds are the are the key to this. Yeah. I
mentioned
much. And here is the C span guy. There are guys by the way.
The Kurds Yeah, yeah. And here is the C span guy bring this
this bio Biden thing up.
This is a comment from David who says Vice President Biden might
have been right when he said that Iraq may need to be carved
up. This may happen regardless of what any president does. He
made that comment back in 2008.
I think that Iraq has tended to want to be a unified state. And
we saw that even in the 2010. Iraqi parliamentary election. I
think However, after this particular inflection, we may
see the separation of Iraq rather a naturally into
component parts.
Now that the Kurds unnaturally good word
through their Peshmerga forces have control over cook a prize
that they have sought through constitutional means for a
decade. And now that we have a Shia mobilization, that will
secure southern Iraq in a way that's very different from how
western Iraq may or may not be secured. This is an unnatural
state. And it will have consequences through the region,
in taking away the boundaries and borders of the states that
have formed the core of the alliance system that we have
worked with for so many years. And this is actually what the
Islamic State of Iraq and sham wants, it wants to erase the
borders in the Middle East, so that it can create its own
emirate, perhaps on the road to a caliphate that spans through
Islamic country.
It's always great to throw in the C word. You just got it if
you throw in the caliphate where people just shiver, oh,
caliphate. Alright, I'm narrowing this down to the to
the big crescendo. But first, we have to recognize that of course
the Kagan's specifically Robert Kagan were Bush cronies. This is
all William Kristol. These are the Neo cons the project for New
American Century. But they've now spread over to the other
side, through Victoria Kagan, Nate Nudelman, Nate Newman, who,
whose husband Frederick is brother of Robert, brother of
Kim. And there's a great article by the way about the K he's a
what's his name? Frederick. He's, uh, yeah, Frederick
interviewed at his his library home in Virginia, because he's a
historian. Bunch of eight holes these people are. So of course,
the obvious question is, well, wait a minute. Isn't this bush?
Didn't Bush do all this isn't a bush mistake? Didn't Bush screw
it all up for us? Now, whenever someone asks you a question that
you don't want to answer. What is a good go to way to
circumvent that you've taught us this, John? I don't know. What
did I say? You're asking the wrong question is what you need?
Oh, yeah, you start with you're asking the wrong question. The
right question is blah, blah, blah, and go that did not you
mentioned that blaming, you know, the blaming Bush blaming
Obama thing is seems to be the model that's going on here. And
I want to play something from the Senate floor, which is Harry
Reid, on this on what he's claiming is a civil war and why
we shouldn't be in there. And he kind of addresses a few of these
things that you're talking about. And, and these guys in
the Senate are just superficial about this. And it's actually
fun to listen to them yak about this. And this is just as part
of a longer speech.
servicemen and women from Kentucky and for other 49 states
across this great country should be inserted in the middle of
their civil war. I don't think so. Fighting between sectarian
factions in Iraq, cost 1000s of Iraqi and American lives over
the last decade and have spawned a new breed of terrorism now.
Yet the original architects the war, the invasion of Iraq, would
have us believe that this is all President Obama's fault. As
President think about that.
Is there any way to think about out that. Okay, I'm
ready anything that could be further from the truth? I don't
think so. This is an Iraqi civil war. And it's time for Iraqis to
resolve it themselves. Those who attack personal bomb for
bringing our troops home from Iraq are wrong and out of step
with the American people. After a decade of war in America,
we've had enough American families have had enough.
Yeah, but you know, who's not had enough? No, no, they're just
getting started everybody. Alright, so here's Kim,
answering the question with a denial of the question, of
course, is the wrong question to ask. Rick makes
this point on our Twitter page no WMD weapons of mass
destruction and no yellowcake no aluminum tubes. Why did Bush
elect to invade Iraq?
Again, I really think that we're asking the wrong questions. If
you go back and focus on the decisions and actions in 2002, I
think it's even better
to say we're asking the wrong question. you involve yourself,
you say we're asking I might as well
1003. Again, I will emphasize that what decision makers
thought at the time was that Saddam Hussein, it had a
chemical weapons program. And we have discovered that that's not
true, that he was engaged in concealing the fact that he did
not have one, but you mistake the issue. If you go back to try
to re litigate the situation. We're in an emergency crisis
now. And that emergency crisis,
I love the emergency crisis. This is a great term
crisis. Emergency it's
an emergency crisis.
He is that, that an al Qaeda splinter?
Is Oh, I have an al Qaeda splinter in my finger
taking control of terrain in the heart of the Middle East from
which it will launch terrorist attacks and establish a state.
It has an organized army. So the question is not me litigating
what happened in Iraq before the question is oh,
that don't we litigate? That's not the question. The question
is,
what do we do about the fact that there is a large al Qaeda
Splinter has a terrorist safe haven right now in Iraq? Syria?
Does almost that to stop.
Couple of things. I want to add to it seems a lot of this is
I've actually disappointed that she went this way. Well,
wait, wait until I'm done with her. I mean, the big finish is
coming.
Okay. Well, once you finish that, because I had to play
another couple of Senate clips.
I just want I do want to finish off with hearts. Yeah. Let me
finish off with Kim. Let me finish up with it. Sure off not.
In fact, I'll stop this clip. And I'll finish her off. With
now this rarely happens. Only on C span. I have to say I again,
quite impressed with the C spans. Where's my thing here?
Okay, the question is, what is the Institute for the Study of
war? And who was funding you? I think this is a very good
question.
What is the Institute for the Study of war and who funds your
organization?
The Institute for the Study of war is an organization that does
not advocate war, we study it.
Now, when so he didn't say, Hey, you advocate war? What are you
all about? He said, What are you about? And she immediately goes
on the defensive by saying we do not advocate war. No one said
you did, but maybe you're a little too defensive.
And we study ongoing conflicts in order to provide policymakers
and decision makers with the best possible information about
what's going on in war zones, including Iraq, Syria,
Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Lebanon to them by giving them
the best possible information.
Wait, okay, great
decisions about matters of war in peace. The organization is
funded through private donors, foundations, corporations, and I
think most importantly, does not take any money from the United
States government in order to keep itself fully independent
from the United States government. Let's
go to the documentation. Of course, I was more than happy to
pull up their form 994 2012, which is cleverly obfuscates any
contribution from anybody. It's not required by law. They do a
little under $2 million. All of it goes into salaries and
conferences and travel. That would sound right the only
person who is on the payroll is Kim But of course, not much 150
grand is very, very meager I thought,
yeah, well, she's got other means of income, I'm sure. But
of course,
they're always you cannot take money from individuals and
corporations without thanking them. Ah, you have to hunt
around their website is not very easy to navigate to find that
but in their 2012 annual report, they thank the following for
their award the for their sponsorship of the Institute for
the Study of war. Are you ready for the list? This is good.
General Dynamics. Okay. War, dine Corp, international war
Palantir. Those, those Yeah, those those are the guys who do
spying, north of Grumman, or in my favorite, C A C, I now see
ACI should ring a bell if not because I just rang a bell.
These are the guys. These are advisors. You see. This is what
she's talking about the advisors that need to be sent in. They
were the ones that that were blamed for the atrocities of Abu
gripe. If you recall.
The ACI awarded looking at word 31 million daily load. And 31
million prime contractor continue to modernize in US Navy
personnel and pay systems. That's a good computer
operation. Now see,
see a CI here. ever vigilant. Ci is CIC ACI we're running the Abu
Ghraib prison. And they there was a big lawsuit. And the judge
dismissed the lawsuit alleging that caaci employees directed
mistreatment of detainees. But he did not dismiss it because
they were not guilty. He dismissed it because the judge
and I have it the judge did not explicitly rule on caaci his
role in the alleged abuse instead deciding that because
the incidents happened overseas, the US District Court in
Alexandria has no jurisdiction to hear the case that these were
the people who these are the bad guys. These are the horrible
eight holes, who directed electrocution of Pinyon
detainees nuts. These are eight holes, and she is all in her
job. And here's the pitch. I have it right here is to get
these people in right away.
What I think is really incredibly important right now
is to understand that we're not not talking right now. About we
invading Iraq. No, we are not talking right now about sending
boots on the ground. What
are we talking about? Here's the one that comes up pitch combat
forces
in large numbers, no rock, there is an Iraqi security force
there. It needs to be bolstered
bolster John, that's the word we need to bolster the Iraqi
security forces with
and it needs to be bolstered through advisors who can help
overcome the flaws that we have
advisors from companies like ca say she's a saleswoman.
And frankly, over the emerge over the past year, that the
Iraqi Security Forces have low morale, that they have not
replenished their units with new soldiers as they have sustained
losses against al Qaeda, splinters and other enemies. Can
I
just point out that we've spent according to the Defense
Department, $20 billion to train these Iraqi forces this
by the way, that's where that number comes from the 20 25
billion. Everyone's talking about, oh, we spend 25 billion.
It's not on the whole war in Iraq. It's just on training the
forces?
No, actually, Harry Reid, in his little long speech brought the
number up. It's 1.2 trillion.
That's the overall number. Right. But the number that would
keep the weak question, whoa, you know, we spent 25 billion in
Iraq. Yeah, you're right. You know, this is a decision,
propagandistic technique to make people stick with that number,
right. So it's in your brain? Oh, well, gee, I guess we could
afford it. 1.2 trillion.
And I think that's a low bar. I think that's a lowball to buddy
with the 20. He now says 20. But 20. I've heard 25 billion was
only for the training of these guys, which I with my own two
eyes saw was a scam.
That is absolutely correct. That is absolutely
correct. I need to say these long drawn out sentences what I
think of what I'm going to say next.
And I think that part of the problem that we have had over
the past two years, is that we have thrown money at training
the Iraqi forces we need to throw money at my people
staining some of the programs that were effective at keeping
the Iraqi Security Forces effective. We have sold weapons,
we have sold weapons systems. But we removed our embedded
advisors, embedded advisors, the Iraqi security force,
we got to bring them back.
So what do you think? So I'm looking at the I'm looking at
CAC is a stock sells for 71 bucks a share probably is a huge
upswing if you'd invest in this company in 1990. And made a lot
of money. Yeah. What do you think their sales annual sales
are in revenue?
caaci? Yeah, just guess, ah, well, they have 16,000
employees. So I'm going to guess each employee has to be bringing
in at least I want to say 16 billion in sales. Now now only
3.5. Okay. I'm 2.5 billion in sales as consultants, as
consultants,
advisors, advisors. And I'd like to point out this little an on
disk or non discussed item from May 14 2014, when the United
States military industrial complex, put that in fact, the
Pentagon Defense Security Cooperation Agency, that's the
guys who sell on behalf of the military industrial complex in
the Pentagon informed Congress of a planned sale of $1 billion
worth of war planes, armored vehicles and surveillance
aerostats to Iraq. Quotes from that from the document. The
vehicles will help Iraq's ability to defend its oil
infrastructure against terrorist attacks. We could have seen this
coming in man who could have we sold them we sold them the stuff
we sold them right into it.
This is what a scam. Hey, we got a quick quick, quick, quick.
Hey, guys, quick, let's sell some stuff. We're gonna need it.
So that is Kimberly. Now she's not the end of the Kagan's but
I'd like now,
I want to point something out here that we haven't pointed out
which is the obvious. This woman dropped in out of the blue and a
parachute.
Yeah, well, and she's perfect because she's pretty. She has a
good rep. She has a bit of a pleading thing. And by the way,
there's also this Anne Marie slaughter. And I heard I could
not find it on NPR. I heard her on NPR. She is the CEO of now.
This is a real Silicon Valley group. She is the CEO of what is
this thing called? The new American foundation. I think she
she literally wrote the New World Order book, she wrote a
book called The New World Order. And this new American
foundation, yeah, top sponsors with a million plus Eric Schmidt
and his wife, and mill and Melinda Gates. It's the time she
goes on. And she's like, and that's why I'm pissed. I
couldn't find it. Every question she'd answer, instead of this
pleading like, well, people are dying. People are dying. Don't
you see people are dying. She had this little irritating
laugh, like
one of those people that laughs at the end of every cent No,
before she
laughs at the bushes before? Like, what a stupid question.
Don't you see people are dying, and we have to do something
about it. I'll find it for Sunday, because I just didn't
post it. I guess, please. Yeah. So it's this. These are the
salespeople to be dropped in to sell the idea. Because the
President Obama is ineffective at this point. And he's not
running this show. This is the these are all dailies. Every
single one of them
was a Harvard guy. He's out.
If he if he even went to Harvard losers, yeah, loser. Yeah, these
are all Yale people. Even Clinton's a Yalie, isn't she?
No, no, I
think she was Yale Law School.
Right. You might be really mean look it up while you're talking.
Well, how can it be? I'm looking it up. Well, you're talking. No,
no, no, you're looking it up. Oh, yeah. Yale Law School. Yes.
Yeah. Like, Bill's the Harvard. Yeah, yeah.
So these are all dailies. And the idea is realization. I'll
give you a rundown and I'd love to hear some of your clips. So
we have ISIS has taken over the Baiji refinery. And of course,
we had the Brotherhood pipeline. I'm sorry, that's Ukraine. I'm
confused. I'm wrong pipeline. I got a whole pipeline thing here.
We're blowing them up everywhere. We're blowing up
pipelines. pipelines, but funny. We're not blowing up the
refinery. No, why would we do that? That would make no sense.
They did shut
it down. But it stills this as a sitting duck. Yeah. So this is
we're sitting ducks you can you hit one of those things with a
few rocket launchers. But that thing is done.
That's the prize. We're not going to blow that up. No,
that's going to happen. And so now of course there's a lot have
players in the game and, you know, blowing up the pipeline,
the northern route pipeline, which only takes a couple days
to repair. That's very good, because that will remind us here
in America that it does affect us when when the pipeline goes.
And Iraq of course is arguably the largest producer of oil used
by the West that it affects our prices. So you watch the
gasoline price
actually the largest producer of oil used by the West actually
Russia. The largest producer of oil used by us is Canada, right.
They are the largest Iraq has the largest reserves. They're
big. Yeah, look, I'm
that's why they just weren't going home. It's
all about I'm a disc jockey. What the hell do I know? It's
huge. Here's, let me play this. So back back on the scene. And
now doing his own show without McCain is Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey, if you see Lindsey Graham, tell him Hey, Lindsey,
Adam Cruz says you're an asshole. You're given my email
address. This guy I thought John McCain was bad.
Well, it's a I think it's a toss. I
think Lindsey Graham, so he's worse than McCain. Yes, he is.
So he's interviewing Dempsey, who of course, is our little
known guy who was and Dempsey
they're out to get
well, but But yeah, but Dempsey is all in on this.
Now that she's I think Dempsey is knuckling under big McCain
has been out to get dicey. Well for months, right, but
this is Graham and Dempsey. So Graham and McCain have split.
And Graham's all I don't believe that's not true. Well, but let's
listen to this. Where we have Dempsey and Hegel, Hegel Of
course he's just a yes man. He would know it in about phase
meant. And now they're they're just ISIS ISIL it's not isas
it's not ISIL. It's Oh, I L is what it is people
now to Iraq. Is it possible General Dempsey to stop is is
without us airpower.
Is isa la isas dosh whatever we call them,
the OSH
the OSH, this is new to me, the Oshkosh Bugatti
are people that al Qaeda kicked out,
or who broke contact because they're more radical than
Yeah, these people, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. The I
suspect? Well, first of all, we have a request from the Iraqi
Government for airpower. We do
panda. Do we think it's in our national security interest to
honor that request? It is in our national security interest to
counter ISIL
wherever we find them
fair fairs wherever we find it Well, under the bad name,
because now I want the American people understand. There's a lot
at stake for us. Right. Secretary Hagel.
Okay. leading the witness, leading the witness stand. Yeah.
Hey, let's get the yes man to say yes.
There's a lot at stake for us the region.
Consequences are large fri calls and Iran dominates the south.
And this group, isI s owns the Sunni territory all the way from
Aleppo, to Baghdad, Kurdistan breaks away, that would create
economic chaos in the region, which would affect us here at
home. Is that a fair outcome?
leading the witness?
Well, I don't know what an outcome would be. If that
occurred did. Senator all I can tell you is what we're looking
at providing to the President to the
economy of Iraq would collapse.
Well, I think that's right, if he if they lose their oil
IBZ He's an economist now and don't question it. Yes,
that's right. And if isI is has assets, right, from Iraq, from
Aleppo, to Baghdad there in rich the country, we know Iraq
financially collapses, don't you think that would affect the
region and energy process from the average American point of
view Iraq matters?
Well, it does and we gotta make you know, I'm a rock matters
people but also uh, you know, you've been a time senator. The
southern part of a rock possesses a tremendous amount of
oil. So different scenarios that you're
taught rhenium is dominate the southern part of Iraq because
the central government collapses and you're no force in Baghdad,
the Iranians enriched and I think the world as a whole
suffers particularly will get hit in the wallet, but isI s
General Dempsey, they work will get hit in the wallet. How does
that
work? How's the logic here? I don't get it.
Shut up. Just say yes out
to attack the United States. Is that fair to say?
Oh, whoa, back it up. About there. We're about to be
attacked. John. Hold on a sec.
General Dempsey. They have vowed to attack the United States. Is
that fair?
Oh vowed there is open source reporting that
they open search reporting Why is Open Source reporting? What
does open source at Twitter? Yeah,
that's nice. Is that fair to say?
There is open source reporting that I've never heard
of open source reporting. We're using it. I love it. Open Source
reporting, Twitter,
they, although currently a regional threat, they do have
aspirations to attack Western interests.
And if they have a safe haven in Syria and Iraq and operate from
Aleppo to Baghdad with impunity, that's a bad scenario for us. Is
that true?
That is a that is a high risk scenario.
Yeah. To our homeland being attacked by this group over
time, not
at this time. But
what I've done. Oh, wait a minute over time. Not at this
time, but over time, not exactly what Lindsey said on Meet the
Press Sunday, Syria
is a launching pad and it's all come together.
It's a launching pad. They're going to be terrorists, like
they strap rockets to their bag and they launch right into
America.
We need air power, air power, lead to stop the advance toward
Baghdad stop it. If the central government in Iraq collapses
nest, the goal of isI is Orion will own the southern part of
Iraq. That's where the she is live. They can operate isI is
from Baghdad to Kurdistan all the way into Syria. They will
eventually march on Jordan and Lebanon, our best ally in the
region is the King of Jordan, and they will attack us from
that part of Syria. National Director of intelligence FBI
director that next 911 is coming from here.
Yeah, this is the next nine level, it might be on 314. But
it will be the next 911. It's coming from there. But I don't
understand. Because these are these are our terrorists. And
now, this douchebag Cameron is saying that they're going to
attack them.
The Prime Minister chaired a meeting of the National Security
Council in response to the crisis in Iraq, before speaking
in the commons. But I
also disagree with those people who think this has nothing to do
with us. And if they want to have some sort of extreme
Islamist regime in the middle of Iraq, that won't affect us it
will the people in that regime, as well as trying to take
territory are also planning to attack us here at home in the
United Kingdom.
No, they're attacking us. They can't attack you. Everyone's
taking credit for the attack.
Here's what bothers me. First, let's play the McCain clip that
I have, which shows that he's still in, I believe what you're
what you're observing that you think that there's this rift
between McCain and Lindsey Graham, that is not the case. I
just think that they're sick of McCain, because he is the worst
that he's a tub Thumper. And I think the media is tired of him.
So he gets to go up in front of Congress. He gave a long speech.
I just took a clip of it and say stuff like this,
the Obama administration blames Iraqis for failing to grant the
necessary privileges and immunities for a US force
presence beyond 2011. This too, is totally misleading. Because
as we saw firsthand, Senator Graham and I traveled to Baghdad
to Erbil and we met with Maliki we met with Allah we met with
Barzani. We met with all of the leaders of the main political
box and we heard a common message during all of these
conversations. Iraqi leaders recognize that it was in their
country's interest to maintain a limited number of US troops to
continue training and assisting Iraqi security forces beyond
2011. But when we asked Ambassador Jim Jeffrey and the
commander of US forces in Iraq, Lloyd Austin, in direct response
to a question in a meeting with then prime minister with with
Maliki, he said, Okay, I want to know how many troops and what
their missions are. We turned to General Austin, the answer was
that they still not made a decision. Or in Erbil, Barzani
said he would fly to Baghdad. Alawi the actual winner of the
election said that he would he would agree.
I'll go in with you on that, that the everyone, including the
media are just sick of him. And he I think he overdid his
exposure before all this. He was on every you could always call
McCain for anything. Yeah. And he's in he's,
he's, he's annoying. He's boring. And he goes on and on
and on. Now, here's the disappointment. I'll go back and
discuss more of the details of what we think's going on here,
which I think we've already outlined mostly, which is a
scam. This is the big disappointment in my in my
opinion, which is that Marco Rubio, who purports to be a
candidate for the presidency, there's no way he's ever going
to get elected is one of the guys who got into office by
being a tea party guy. Kind of espousing the thoughts of the
Ron Paul camp. right in the in these conservative meetings,
which is get out of these wars, stop doing this stop doing that
way, you know, legalized drugs. I mean the libertarian
let me let me Yes. Did the check show up from Halliburton?
Well, you listen to the clip and you tell me.
And that is why it's so critical that we be engaged here. The
reason why we should care about this issue, it's not because we
want to force upon Iraq democracy or force upon Iraq,
the type of kind of government we think they need. The reason
why we care is because we cannot allow a safe haven to develop
there that can be used to carry out attacks that can kill
Americans, including here in our homeland. This is why we should
care. And this is why it is so important that the Commander in
Chief of the United States the president, come as quickly as
possible before the American people and before this Congress,
would they plan to address this risk?
Well, he doesn't need to do that.
Now. Now I have the Rubio destek short clip plays a longer clip,
which is weirder. And we can hear this thing at the same
thing we're hearing from these other nutcase let's go
let's send them in let's go spend some money guys are gonna
bomb us here at home
these Guy Yeah.
These look they got Stinger missiles. I don't think they can
fly all the way over.
Well, the stinger missiles and a lot of people don't know most of
these missiles that we supplied. Are we sold? We sold Yeah, we
sold it there. They have beacon awareness. So when an American
plane is flying and they
fly away from it, they won't miss won't. won't do it
plane ever. No, of course and you can't fix that. That's
that's a hardware
in the prom. We've burned it in now.
The problem? So so Wait,
does ISIS have box cutters?
I don't know that these pistols besides just missing the plane.
I don't know for a fact. And I think I would program this way.
If it was fired at an American target. The missiles should turn
around and blow up the guy firing like a boomerang. Yeah, I
don't see any reason you can't do that. That's what I do. Do
you play Rubio's longer? Well, no actually don't play it I'll
just say what he went on and on about all we're gonna be under
it. Now. here's the here's the kind of the irony to the whole
thing. It's only a minute I'm happy to listen to it that you
will play and you'll hear more of his his panic.
They haven't been good. We need to we need to understand how
afraid we have to
be grown in strength over this time. And they had begun to grow
in their influence in Iraq. And their goal was simple. They want
to establish the premier Islamic caliphate and all the words the
premier thought
we needed. We needed to jingle caliphate. You just yell that
anywhere. People going no man to caliphate, it appealing to know
what it means Sunni
Islamic caliphate in the region caliphate basically means
Islamic kingdom. And they don't care about existing borders that
kingdom they envision is a vast, safe house safe haven that
encompasses portions of Syria that they already have under
their control, and portions of Iraq that they're now gaining
control of. And what is their goal for this place that they're
trying to set up? Their first goal is to institute Sharia law.
And they have a particularly brutal brand of Sharia, that
they have forced upon people both in Syria and now
increasingly in Iraq. But their second goal is to establish an
Islamic caliphate state, a safe haven from where they can plan
and train and ultimately carry out terrorist attacks against
the United States and other countries, including attacks
peer in our homeland.
Okay, let me say let me say this. There were hundreds of
guys at ham comm where I was who would listen to this and go
Yeah, yeah, let's go get him fuckers. And I think he's,
unfortunately when he pulls out caliphate, Sharia law, and then
attack on the homeland. I think he actually does get a large
portion of his audience riled up. Whether he's initially part
of the Ron Paul substitution movement are not. That's these
people have been programmed that way. They live here in the
United States, and there's a lot of them. And now, I guess I
think that just to finish my thought, all we need to do what
the President needs to do. And this is what it's I don't
understand. We are not that stupid. All you have to do is we
have a solution. We're going to send in the Triple Canopy. The
Academy Blackwater Z guys, was the name that Castilian group
caaci. And here's the bill and they've already they've given us
an estimate, and we agreed your estimate plus 20%. And that's
what it's going to be and they're going to go take care of
our business for us. The American public is so tired of
war, but also so insanely programmed, we would go get good
ideas. Yeah, you know, what? Can you get some free mugs with
that? Yeah, we're all in a CI mode. And then it will be done
with but no, we have to scare everybody and trick them into
being afraid and end up
doing the same thing sending these guys in. Yeah, it's Well,
here's the here to me is the anomaly which no one wants to
bring up or ever brings up. The entire concept of the modern
terrorist movement is that's an asymmetrical warfare. Yeah,
means there are non nation states, terrorist groups,
exactly the place to hide very good, that are causing these
problems. Once you establish a nation state, you no longer be
bombed into submission. It's no longer viable as a terrorist
organization.
Excellent point, Mr. Devore. I think that we should now I
revise my strategy. Let's sit back wait until their nation
state then we go bomb them to kingdom come.
Yeah, you know where they are. There. They got a flag. Got a
flag and declare war on
him that yeah, they got
a little parliament.
Judges Yeah, we can go declare war. Exactly.
Yeah, but now we have somebody to declare war on we never have
before it because nobody can surrender. Now we have people
that can even surrender. So what's the problem?
Well, then we can't use words like al Qaeda Splinter anymore.
So fun to say. So the president of course, he he's doing his
little bit there. And he's calling on his war powers and
powerful I. I have war powers.
We can tell you that in just the last few minutes. So the White
House has released a letter that the President has sent to the
speaker, John Boehner. This is a war powers letter that was sent
over to Congress officially notifying lawmakers that the
President has authorized the deployment of 275 US Armed
Forces personnel, those personnel will basically be in
Baghdad there to provide security and support for US
personnel on the ground, in Iraq, in Baghdad and also to the
embassy in Baghdad.
So we had Jesus uses his war powers. And he'll do nothing
otherwise interesting guy back on the scene was Petraeus. Well,
of course,
I would have mentioned before you bring that up. For some
reason I again, and I shortened the McCain clip McCain again.
And I've seen this three and four and five times McCain going
on and on about how we should bring Petraeus back into the
game. Yep. What is the deal with those two?
Well, as I've mentioned before, the military would be all in.
And I hear from Agent Orange, to that to Europe, eu military,
everywhere that he's going to run and he's a serious
contender, and then be really I don't know if he can really do
it. But he shows up on the scene. And he actually says
something kind of fun. It has to
be a huge idea here. And it has to be that.
And when you say huge idea, I mean, you got to have a guy to
run the program. You know, this is this is not just it's not
just like you got to have an a plan. People have to be a
huge idea here. And it has to be that we if there is to be
support for Iraq, it has to be support for a government of
Iraq. That is a government of all the people and is
representative of and responsive to all elements of Iraq.
President Obama has been quite clear on this. This cannot be
the United States being the Air Force for Shia militias, or a
Shia on Sunni Arab fight. It has to be a fight of all of Iraq
against extremists who do happen to be Sunni Arabs.
So we can't just be supporting the Shias. But unfortunately the
other guys are the Sunnis that's just too bad in that. That's a
little transparent betray is sorry.
Yeah, he doesn't have any presidential timber in his
voice. He
just has a uniform that's the only thing that might work for
him.
Yeah, well, that's you know, he looks like again I've said it
before and I say it again and he looks when he wears his uniform
when he used to he looked like a General Lisa mo from Chile. With
all the crap hanging off of it much of it meaningless, you
know, minor, you know, kept kept his room neat. Folded the, you
know, your badge for that it folded his bed. Well, you know,
good corners, you know, you get a badge for that he had it all
hanging from it was an Eagle Scout, I believe. It was just
like ridiculous. And we've gotten to this discussion before
and I've gotten many letters. People say, Well, he has to his
bike. He has to wear all that crap. No, it's not true. Any
general can do whatever he wants. He can wear a blazer. In
fact, the Navy guy wears a blazer, one of Um during the
Joint Chiefs now you can wear a blazer or you can wear khakis
you can wear, you know, a short thing, you can wear a tube top.
And he's fine because he can design his own uniform. And
that's the fact that he doesn't do that and design something
tasteful. In the case of me he's not presidential caliber.
Going back to my favorite angle on the issue of the the oil and
the resources, some interesting moves. Royal Dutch Shell is
selling almost all of its stake in Australia's biggest oil and
gas producer Woodside. And the reason they're doing that is
because Woodside withdrew from the Leviathan gas deal. They
were supposed to be a contender and a member of the leviathan is
the Israeli gas field that was discovered a couple of years
back which turns Israel into a player on the market. And they
didn't you know, the Israel has been trying to screw all these
partners, but with this with a tax that would be higher than
you know, it's all about money, obviously. But the guys who are
really in our noble energy from Houston, who have Oh, Bill
Clinton as one of their advisors, and the Israel Turkey
pipeline is in the works. So there isn't yet another and
they're very quiet right now you don't hear Israel saying too
much but I haven't not even
mentioned it's funny because you'd say well this caliphate is
going to attack Israel because they seem to have
the Levant goes all the Lavon region goes all the way to Egypt
according to
Israel Yeah, but no one mentions this this is like dropped this
is dropped from the conversation is just the same way as as state
sponsored terrorism is it's just dropped from the conversation
because what we're watching we're not even watching a real
conversation now we are the public the American public is
watching a scenario
no we're watching World Cup we're watching World Cup we're
not watching anything.
It's true the World Cup exciting World Cup, another Neil Neil
game. Who did nothing
the world had not just eaten the American public the entire world
is being spoon fed this bullcrap of terror and and just lies and
just nothing at all that even comes near the truth and I'm
going to tell you the answers when you see Anderson Cooper
doing a live stand up from Baghdad, you know it's phony
baloney. When some really heavy is going down. Anderson Cooper a
Vanderbilt does not go there CIA guy. He works with the CIA. But
when Anderson Cooper is live from Baghdad, you know, it's a
setup, please. With the member the first time he or square he
was there, because that was all set up every other time after
that crap. People are really killing people. I'm not going to
do it now. Fuck you. I'm not going away. I'm Anderson,
Vanderbilt Cooper people. So it's a scam. And it's all about.
Okay, sum it up for us, John, from the north and the south.
Obviously, this is about the oil. It seems to me that if we
look at the Kagan's in the north and the Kagan's in the south,
it's about cutting Russia out of everything north and south.
The Russians are the target. They were cutting them out until
they give us back snowed in and then we're still going to cut
them out. Keep us Snowden, I still believe as part of this
issue. Yeah, and especially when they renew his, you know,
his visa his asylum. Yeah. And the idea
is, of course, we've wanted to do this forever, which is the
let that courage take over the real range of 1990.
I think we've been trying as you
wanted them to take this over, because they we can work with
them. They're there. They're good businessman. They're
they're not nutty, they're not shooting each other. There's
nothing crazy going on. They have nice cuisine. And now there
is a moment apparently the Turks are actually contemplating
giving them part, that part of Turkey that they've been
fighting over, because it will save the Turks a lot of money.
And it will be in exchange for either a pipeline running
through Turkey in a payment, probably a lot of money
involved. And the Kurds can run their little businesses and that
would be the best thing for us. The rest of these guys can fight
it out. We're not going to ever get the Iranian Iranian oil
fields, that's not going to happen. And the this thing,
we're going to let it burn out. And let me just like a lot of
money on the side because we can send in all these consultants
and the taxpayer can take another hit of billions and
billions of dollars or do these guys do nothing. And then
everyone's waves are I'm screaming and assert running in
a circle. And I'd
also like to point out that while we have and literally
blown up the pipeline now from Russia, through Ukraine to
Europe, even though Russia doesn't really want to turn off
the gas because their customers on the other side of Ukraine. So
we blew up the Brotherhood pipeline. We have the Baku,
Tbilisi pi Apply which which comes right into Europe, it's in
Baku, that's we own that. But who is us? Georgia, Tbilisi is
us if they're going to George W. Bush airport, please. And
Clinton was there. And we got back to the US Coast Guard
protecting the pipeline coming in from Baku into Georgia, into
the north into into our region.
And by the way, I want to mention something here about
that pipeline being blown up. They were showing some footage
that was not have to Yeah, go ahead. Well, they were showing
different footages. But they were showing some spot spots
where the pipeline was still in, intact. And they were Yeah,
somebody was in there's France 2014. That pipeline that was
built is old. Yes. And it needs to go. And I think the Russians
are would like to put in some new pipes in. I mean, they
showed one of these systems in the Ukraine side, the Russian
side is gorgeous. They show is beautiful. All high tech, good
looking pipes painted yellow and blue. And then the other was
rusty bent the Ukrainian stuff faster. It was just like a bunch
of crap that just like you could hold together. And I think
there's, you know, maybe even more to this insurance scam or
something like that to get.
Reuters reports. Iraqi Kurdistan has built a link connecting
Kukoc to its newly built pipeline into Turkey.
Right. The thing that Kurds just took,
yeah, and that Yes. And that's the that's where the refinery is
and over in the fields, cementing Kurdish control over
the northern oil hub and reducing its reliance on
Baghdad, which as we know is just a it's just a show, too big
show there. The link will allow the Kurds to start exports of
Kirkup crude oil through their own network, giving them a major
source of independent revenue and boosting any ambitions of
sovereign statehood, as Iraq falls into increasing disarray.
So there's the prize there is the product that
is the host that is your play that is your third act Yep.
Create this situation give the Kurds do what they we what we've
wanted them to have, because we're buddies with the courage
big time. And
and listen to this from from writers again. Iraq's Kurdistan
region is ramping up independent oil exports, with a third tanker
set to load a cargo of crude from his disputed pipeline as
Iraq struggles to stop an insurgency. The third tankers
scheduled to depart Turkey's Mediterranean port of say, Han,
the one that we showed to you on the show on Sunday, that will
leave June 22 carrying oil pumped through Kurdistan's new
pipeline, which bypasses Baghdad, and that is according
to Turkey's, and energy ministry. So there you go.
They're pumping. It's true. They got the new it's their own
pipeline network people. These are not just a bunch of towel
heads on camels, which is what you're supposed to believe, by
the way. Well, so how sad is
I think we pretty much beat this to death. Unfortunately, we're
going to have to talk about it more, because you're going to
come at us from all kinds of different angles with more bull
crap about how the homeland is going to be attacked by idiots.
The homeland is under attack by the the Kagan's Yeah, we are
under attack by our own government. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
And then Kerry wants to draw Iran. And I guess that's just
the whole idea. It's just this talk of Oh, Iran can come and
help. I think that's just to bring him into verbalize them
too. Well, you see there, and I don't know if we even need to
get into it, because I don't so
I don't know what what that's all about to be honest about it.
I mean, I have no idea.
I think I think it's just to bring him in. So we just
realize, just to connect,
maybe if they're that stupid. I think they're pretty. A lot of
these Middle Easterners, you know, they talk a lot. And I
think a lot of them have some common sense. Because they you
know, they know what, well, what's interesting is that
should know better.
Right? Now, if you want to understand what's going on in
your world, and I can really, I can speak on behalf of Dutch
Belgians, a little bit of the Brits, the population and
certainly the United States, the population has no and I'm like
0.1% education of these affairs in the Middle East. And in
Eurasia, this is not taught in your common core. It's like even
when I was going through school was Egypt pyramids and the
Sphinx and the pharaohs and Cleopatra. Right and what else
did you learn nothing. Zero squash their shoe is meant to
dumb you down and not actually teach you anything. Nothing. And
I'm struggling is worse than ever and I'm struggling my
Myself, I'm a disc jockey I went to I dropped out of college
after three months because the radio station was to lane. And
people were just doing drugs and drinking, I was interested in
being a disc jockey. And now I'm struggling to catch up and
understand this stuff. And going back in. And we should probably
recommend everyone watched that Paris 1990 movie, it does give
you a good edit, you'll be blown away when you see 100 years ago,
there was no Iraq and Syria and in and Turkey, per se these
these, these lines were drawn up and it was made up. And there
was negotiation. And there was weeks of infighting about who
would get what, and it was the spoils of war and who was going
to pay how much and how much was the shit isn't worth. It's a
fascinating thing to watch about. I'm sure it's on. We can
find it online. And we'll post the links on Amazon. Yeah.
Netflix, and it's just sad and sit your kids down and force
them to have you heard of Iraq? Wood. Is that in Minecraft?
Actually, if we went onto the street today and asked people
that tell tell us where Iraq was probably one out of 20 could
pointed out on a map, or pointed out even in a region.
If you drew four quadrants on the paper, they might be able to
point to one of the four properties inside of four or 5%
chance. Yeah.
But But that's beside but that's okay. I mean, it's not what our
listeners are about.
But understanding that this is now 100 years, 100 years of this
bull crap. And it's coming to a head. And yes, of course there's
you know, because of McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken and
internet and CNN, people in the regions are going eff that. What
is going on here? So of course, they're either What have they
got nothing better to do than to join up? And seeing that they're
being raped for 100 years by the Brits and the French and the
Americans than them damn Turks up north. And the Kurds. Yeah,
it's logical, but we have no understanding of the culture of
the history. And I'm really mad I feel gypped j you
feel gypped you know, more than most people now I
feel gypped but I thought I had an education. I had no
education. I had nothing zero the total Jip. Jip,
you you're you're being a racist against the gypsies, but I am
and screw
the chips. Right? Well, besides it being by presidential
proclamation, National Day of making 2014 As the President had
a Maker Faire, the White House.
Well, I thought that's funny, because I thought you were gonna
say in the morning to me,
I was going to say thank you for your courage. And in the morning
to you John C. Dvorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Adam curry. Also in the morning
all ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in
the water, and all the Dames and nights out there
and in the morning to the human resources in the chat room, no
agenda stream God calm no agenda chat.net in the morning to Sir
19 inch rack. Void zero is working on the new
infrastructure for the show. Very happy that we're getting
all that fortified for delivery, outside of you know, completely
independent of
everything, everything,
and of networks. And in the morning to nick the rat to
deliberate us the fine artwork for episode six to six, which is
starting to show up now on all the different podcasts or thank
you all very much for yelling and bitching and moaning and
groaning in all these different apps out there. Who were our
feed was broken. I think a lot of them got fixed. Yes. And
nobody really told me. There is such a market for doing this,
right. I mean, seriously?
No, maybe there's some we should think about?
Yeah. I mean, there's no one is really doing the podcast player,
right. And
you spec out the proper way to do it and have one of our
geniuses coded and new we start little thing on the side there.
I think if we are now busy, you'd have to bring in Dave
Weiner.
You'd have wine or you know, wine. There's a weird character
because he's kind of like an idiot savant genius. Yeah. But
he knew that when he actually talked to him, it's like, oh,
that's a great idea. Oh, that's interesting. I never thought
of it that way. He's, it can be challenging to work with as
soon as possible, as though you can't work with him.
So I think you have to bring him in as an advisor in the region.
Yeah, yeah. And, yeah, I think that we are the We are uniquely
qualified to create a podcast app that actually does what it
says on the box and what is some and how it's supposed to work.
Right? With all the air all every back end that takes care
of podcasts that aren't formed properly. Just average just
make it work product just make it work.
Yeah.
All right. And of course, no agenda are generated.com is
where you can find all
of the art but that's what pod show is supposed to do.
That was my idea.
Well, interesting. All right. Let's thank a few people that
helped us out here as the executive and Associate
Executive Producers first show 627 including sir pap smear for
Mount Stewart Tasmania was really a $627.33 coming all the
way across the water. ITM John and Adam wrote a big message in
the Pay Pal comment section but the browser timed out at a
synopsis of the message sorry for not donating since my
knighthood since my knighthood but I've been hitting people in
the mouth my wife and daughter included. Nations pick up
otherwise the daughter's education fund. I need to be
rated. No need to read not worth it. Anyway. You won't learn
anything. He says you don't have to read this out but he just
would like to have some Carmen and OMG amazing jingle which
makes him laugh every time he says our work has been
outstanding lately. Thank you and have been he's been
intending to donate for a while. Okay. Oh, by the way he wants to
he his he calls himself sir pap smear and his wife has been
demanding he change it but he's not going to do until he gets a
second knighthood.
Okay, thank you.
You've got karma. That is
a lot of people like that jingle.
Where's that come from?
I have here on my sheet. Rona Thorne archer. I have no idea
that's from I guess it's from a movie or
Yeah, it sounds like it's from a movie. That is
is pretty good people like I want that as my ringtone Sure,
yes. Not annoying enough. In in very good and you said it right?
Yeah. Auckland, New Zealand chemo 333 33 has been three
weeks since my last deconstruction that I've been
listening to your show for some time now and and found a great
deal of value in it. I have tried to give value for value
however, because John ruined a great marketing idea by burning
club 33 to the ground. Don can't figure out how to make Windows
eight boot to the desktop. I use the classic shell which to the
desktop fine. Adam has an atrocious fake Australian
accent. This is his bitches we have to read and of course, of
course. Yeah, good producer credit. John cannot pronounce my
name correctly. What did I just do? You did it correctly. He
said what his complaint is somewhere along the line non
donors changing from boners to douchebags. Well, we didn't do
that. No, we don't have anything to do with that. There has been
too little mockery of the British Parliament.
Well, we just mocked him now for stealing our terrorists.
John cannot pronounce Auckland correctly in a kiwi accent.
Parkland.
He's from Oracle in Auckland.
gasses to 20 litre about $7 US gallon
with us. That's not my fault. Blame it on ISIS.
I'm one willing to let another day go by without donating. And
if any of the producers have doubts about the way media
works, I can say that until recently, I worked in a large
media company. The way the news works is really about
advertising. And the pressure is placed on media by advertisers
to write stories and not print stories based on ad revenue.
It's outrageous
lie I'm trying to restructure a sentence and wonder what he
meant. Well
he says the way news works is really about advertising and the
pressure that is placed on media by advertisers to write stories
and not print stories based on ad revenue is outrageous. It's
there's a run on issues you would have the cold read which
is a specialist atom so I'm pretty good at it was ignored
while drivel is published as news that is really just puff
pieces. And there's always a counter argument any negative
threads that have to be published due to profile of
story. It's sickened me so much I quit. And now on behalf of the
kittens everywhere I salute you. And he says he sent us the money
after he got laid off. Wow. Yeah, he'll he'll be back.
There's no way
I actually said I got laid off today and I'm still throwing
down the gauntlet to other boners
Yes, thank you for years. And now we have a theme.
Oh boy. I hadn't even seen this. Yeah, I'm getting 987654321
and for some reason it didn't reach out Oh this is very
strange let's try it again here we go knights slaves please be
outstanding from the Grand Palace took a while but sorry
yes our original first Grand Duke comes in
a way behind on my episodes he came in at 333 33 way behind on
my episodes unfortunately so way behind in my support I humbly
apologize if not it's not in my case because I like to show less
or do not value what you do I can't speak for the other
listeners please do keep up the great work and analysis coming
it's appreciated more than you may know LG why karma for all my
friends in need of love and better health or a general good
cheer. So kind
of from our grand.
You've got common jobs,
jobs, jobs and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
Scott Spence in Dawsonville Georgia 333 33 black night
Scott, you don't need to read this on the air but thank you
for your courage.
Now this is a drunk donation Yeah,
but he says it's a drunk donation. Oh, you have to
realize he wants me to read it such. Yes, of course. This is
junk donation. Just asking for some jobs karma, followed by his
son, Dr. Kiki Jain. Get your ass on HF. You also need to visit
some of our North Georgia wineries and give me a call
anytime that you and or miss Mickey have any problems in
Atlanta. Black Knights got
and he's going to be barren. November November for whiskey.
No,
that's what that's a short one that you must be an expert. An
extra doesn't mean he's not an expert. That's true. Jobs, jobs,
jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. Already. Science.
He's I'm sure he's an expert.
I am apparently just losing my grip on the ham. I have to get
back on track with this. Yeah.
If I'm telling you this D star thing. It's for you. You tell me
that? Yeah. But what is it Dwight? Why is it so special?
What would be the reason I'd want it?
It's because it really is simple to operate. I mean, it's why I
like it to be I have a huge calling me an idiot. No, no, no,
I'm using it to I like it. It's it's the big Linux hacker
culture around it. Because it is kind of the icon has kind of
cornered the market. And it's cool because people like to try
and pack against that. At the same time. They all have icon
gear. So it's kind of cool. But what's nice about it is it
really does work anywhere and you can communicate anywhere.
And through the internet that's worldwide. And of course in an
emergency, it could save your life
will blow you away.
Because then you can still communicate without the
Internet. You see?
Oh yeah, no, that's what I would assume. But it's essentially
it's it's a social network for people who had to take a license
like the last 90 I listen on a reflector three, three, Charlie,
of course. That's right. Three Charlie, you were on. That's our
number three, three, Charlie.
Yeah, three, three, Charlie.
I mean get like guys in the hay in the morning. They just pop in
and pop out you know, and we're just hanging out there and it's
it's an it's all digital. So the quality is really nice. And they
I have a little hotspot now which is basically like having a
little repeater you can take anywhere you plug it into your
computer, and now you can now people are hacking Raspberry
Pi's. And you know, adding a Wi Fi hotspot and they drop it
somewhere and you've got a essentially a repeater for this
whole network anywhere you want. It is it's interesting. It's
very hacker ish yet internet RF. It's like a radio phone network
and I'm telling you the NSA is not listening in on this.
Yeah, believe me, believe me they're not interested.
So all right, well, I said you know when we have a good
donation David, I'll get one of those. Okay. Okay, now we're
onward. Yes. Oscar Zamora. Oh, it looks like you send an email
and here it is right here in front of me. Amazing here Adam
and John longtime Boehner first time donor he said longtime
Bonner actually accept that okay. What finally got me to
donate was your discussion of the b1 Friendly fire strike on
US troops in Afghanistan in your analysis that was connected to
the retirement of the 810, otherwise known as the Warthog,
as a self proclaimed history and military buff, sensually young
age I'm actually doing this I'm sure that I would like to point
out the real reason for the retirement of the US only
purpose built ground attack and support aircraft, the a 10 to
pay for a huge prices to pay for that piece of junk. F 35. I
think our analysis included that did it not talked about this?
And I have included a link to interview with Pierre spray the
designer of the A 10 and F 15.
I think that's the guy we played.
I think so. Yeah. Two planes that are beloved by POTUS and
ground troops alike for the ground attack roles and in
particular the case of the A 10 The last gunfighter with a 30
millimeter anti-tank vulcan cannon for ground attack. Planes
are universally loathed by the air fort brass as the air Ford
hates to run ground attack missions as it makes them feel
subservient to the army Marines. Oh, yeah, that would make sense
yeah, and would rather fight its own war using high altitude
strategic bombing Here I
come.
I do wonder why the Pentagon made a point of blaming the
friendly fire incidents such as aircraft like the B one
strategic bomber that is wholly inadequate for ground attack
roles in the interview Pierce bright points that the F 35
Can't turn can't claim is totally useless as a ground
attack plane and a stealth tech in general is totally bogus as
then he goes on with what we played on the clip and I think
that thing is the assassination he would like more Al Sharpton
clips so
I believe that thing is also cost was it now 600 billion or
something? This is a fiasco some outrageous amount
the fiasco which we have
massacres in San Francisco you know will
confrere was just thrown into conflict
that's good enough Yeah. Damn asteroids have here done that it

Thomas we're
coming communication the lack of a clear fork noodle
in Norway $300. I can't find a note from you, Thomas. Oh boy.
But you You sent 300 In which is nice, sir Greg Craig Jones and
Danville, Pennsylvania 300 John and Adam, thanks for all you do
this show is better than ever and you deserve some more
support. I'm a grad student studying education who hasn't
donated by SSB becoming a knight three years ago. So de douche me
if you feel it necessary relationship Carmen be great to
keep up the great work. Shameless plug for my humble
little podcast on the no agenda radio network just getting tech.
The name of it I guess. So he needs karma and the douche.
I'm sorry. It's my mistake. That was for me. You've been de
deuced
you've got karma. Geralyn.
I don't think I've heard just getting tech.
I have fantastic. Sir Tom. Dre in the somewhere in Japan, he's
in Yokosuka to 44 Associate Executive Producer having been
contributing 42 monthly since August 2012. Check on that. By
the way. This should bring one to an even $1,200 in
recognition, my daughter's recent graduation from high
school and her birthday on June 17. I would like to bestow Dame
Ashley do a baron Netis. Very nice. She'll be attending
Lawrence University in the fall, Lawrence University in the fall.
And we'll need an LG white karma shot. Also, when can we expect
to see the ultimate podcast? The podcast or for sale as your
device? Well, when?
Ah, well. The problem with this?
Well, let me let me let me guess what the problem is. The problem
is you ran into some other gear. Yeah, that took you off the
track. And this thing will never be available now.
No, that is incorrect. But I most definitely ran into some
the gear that we're using now that is just so incredibly good,
that I would not want to sell anybody something that is not
equally as good because then it couldn't be called The Ultimate
podcast device. Oh, a rewrite of what I just said. Now, here's
what gets more interesting. The setup that I'm using, for most
podcasts would probably come in if you already have the laptop,
you have to have a laptop and a modern Apple Macintosh laptop
would come in at around 600 bucks. What I'm going to come in
at 400 and think that this isn't you know this now. So I would
rather quite honestly, I would rather hook up with these guys
at Universal Audio and create the ultimate podcast package and
help them market it. That's what I think would make more sense.
Okay, don't you think?
Oh, that's reasonable. I mean, I can argue
the goal is to get something to people that works. If I can do
this with something that already exists, but just needs to be
configured in a certain way. That seems like a good idea. And
Universal Audio has almost all the pieces I could show them
what we need to finalize it marketed property and I think
that they could, they would it would open a whole new market
for them. There's your answer.
Okay, I'll buy that. Okay. I think you've written it would be
better for you. Because you don't really want to be selling
hardware. It's a lot of work. And sounds right. Yeah.
All right. Let me get the karma that's requested. You've got
karma on LG watch.
So you want to put her on the list for the
we mentioned the titles, Baronet tests.
Nick Yohannes in St. Louis Park, Minnesota nuts. 206 27. Could
John call my non contributing friend who introduced me to the
show a douchebag.
Oops, I slept. I'm bad on the douche today.
It's okay. You can do it again. Right here. His name is Eric
Humphries. Douchebag. Adam should tell him to finally get
his ham license to tell him Hey,
Eric Humphries. Get your ham license already.
But seriously, as its us, he says it's the US or Alex Jones
comment that really hit home. Your work with debt and one
other good work. True. Yeah. It'd be some more alternative
media outlets, but no, no, they're all lockstep in with
some advertiser and I would include the Jones with that
1776 upon us, this going into kind of coming down and coming
for our guns.
You know, there's only I've heard one podcaster do an
imitation of him with that with that policy voice. And you
really have to have I don't know how I don't think you're not
even close. I don't even want to try. No you blow your vocal
cords. doubt Exactly. Kelly sand in in Birmingham Alabama $200 My
brother Stephen sand in punched me in the mouth a while ago. I'd
like a douche bag and my boyfriend Jordan Davis won't
even listen to the show with me. I need some job karma because
I'm going to take the bar in July for Tennessee and I need a
job offer that I need a job offer after that love you guys.
And I tell you it might be time to look for new boyfriend. Yeah,
really? You gotta be honest. You know if if he won't even listen
to the show with you. That's a big giant wedge in the
relationship. Yeah, find somebody else. You've got jobs,
jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
These Alabama women get to get a pick of the litter anyway.
They're generally gorgeous, gorgeous here. Thomas M Brax.
I'm thinking in no more Namur Belgium 200 bucks. One step
closer to knighthood you matter more than you might think to a
lot of people thank you. Raj. Her regime books says regime in
Perth our favorite town in Australia $200 on Airbender, one
stamp. Oh, I'm sorry. Please credit Nathan Hondros. Quote, I
heard JC D on twit when they started talking about Julio
Dells poetry. Leo brought up a collection she published manque
gay by Regina Alexandria and Google scanned and I wrote the
foreword, ha. Figure that the universe was telling me to crank
up my support for the best podcast in the universe.
Meanwhile, I've been hitting every artist and writer I know
in the mouth. They're the ones that used to have the courage
before sucking on the sugary tip of government funding. Yes,
Google can bite my ass any chances Shut up slave and karma
you bet are chefs.
You've got karma.
Happy to do always.
That was a pretty odd coincidence. Don't you think?
I think that I think that whole episode of This Week in tech was
interesting.
Why What was it about it that you think was made it that I
have been banned because of my my denialism?
What did you think? Well, that's not why you really been banned.
And I've made that clear on the show.
That's not true. Because after after you left, there was a
whole conversation.
Oh, really? After I left, you're talking behind my back. Oh,
they even bragged on John, you did last couple of times. John
has really just taken the show off the rails. This is what is
that with him?
Who said that? You know, he said I took the show off the rails,
not just this show the last couple of times. Oh, you mean I
took the show off away from the pandering to advertisers? Yes.
Yes. That would be the definition of off the rails?
Yes. And why did he swamp he's just his last couple of shows to
you've not you've now you've been a bad boy. Anyway, anyway,
that was Joey
there to defend me or did she leave already?
Know this was when she was I think she was gone. She was not
sitting at the table. She was gone. Yeah. But now I can't have
Adam on a new show. He doesn't believe in the moon landing
which is not what I said. By the way. I said I question the
official story. That's different than I don't believe it. He
doesn't he's crazy. But I can have my triangulation. You can
sit my triangulation douche.
Off collide. Sorry. And finally, last but not least on our list
of associated executive producers, Neil Liston in
Edinburg, UK 200 Rs. I do not have a note from him that I can
find. Neil if you have something to say let us know and we'll say
it. Wow. Thank all these people. Yes, a few of them for donating
is a kind of a carryover from the last donation period. For
show 627 When remind you we do have a show 628 coming up in a
probably will be short executive producers from the sounds of
things. So the word.org/na
and it's pretty much congratulations. New ham kilo
kilo six November delta x ray. I don't have a name. But anyway,
we always like to look him up in the database. Can you Can we
always like to see new ham operators coming on board? He's
got a cheap China rig. Baofeng fantastic. That's a good way to
start. And we encourage that because besides it being a cool
thing to do, it might save yours. You're asking an
emergency. Alright, everybody support us, please for.org/n
And of course we need you to continue to help us go out there
and propagate the formula. Our formula is this we go out we hit
people in the mouth
and I want to mention that we had a number of people that
missed the deadline for the Happy Father's Day call out that
means anything they donated would have been called out their
name would have been measured we do have them to be called out at
the end of today's show we'll we'll call them all out and then
that'll be the end of it no more that donation this thing will be
shut down.
Very nice. Let's see what's
well I got a couple of things that might be good segues. Yeah,
please segue segue us into some news was just upset me
play the France giving up on nukes. Oh, okay.
What is this going to be about?
Let's come back to France Shall we want to President Francois
loans electoral promises overhaul Francis energy sector
he set handed that task and Environment Minister has an ear
saralyn rail
Australia so it was a tricky test test trying to live up to
your campaign promises. Well, three fourths of France's energy
comes from nuclear the highest level among developed economies,
the socialist government wants to drastically shift that focus
to non nuclear renewables. The new law does not specify whether
it is a country's 58 nuclear plants will close but the cap
makes it seem inevitable but the government says going green will
create 100,000 new jobs. The Brown has all the details.
We have to diversify our energy sources it up so the level of
nuclear power has to be stabilized and then it has to be
reduced when it comes to electricity production,
the electricity despite calls from the anti nuclear lobby the
government has no plans to force the closure of any aging plants.
But with a new cap on total nuclear production electricity
utility, EDF will likely be forced to shut some as new
generation sites come online a deadline that opponents say will
cost France dear did
very soon will be 2025 this means we had to close more than
20 reactors that's ruinous, ruinous for jobs ruinous for our
ability to compete ruinous because it will cost the state
to pay back EDF
well break my my bug yet. These guys are not
this is the most effective nuke nuclear power generating State
Society society in the world. They're the they're the head of
the curve. This is crazy, everything standardized, and
it's never had what's the big accident that they had? Did they
have something that wiped out the vineyards of sheen on where
so there's a power this
is just this is big? Well, of course this is all about
subsidies to like in Germany, you know, every all of the solar
and the wind, it's all subsidized. And it said every
single windmill in the Netherlands is its own LLC. And
they have shareholders and it's a big moneymaker not because of
the energy is produced but because of the subsidies. Yeah,
when I was floating around the Netherlands looking at some of
these farms, and apparently you put one of these up in your farm
you don't have to do any more farming, which a lot of people
are doing they just stopped farming because they're making
just enough money to phony baloney subsidies for these
things. And by the way, didn't two things I didn't find a bunch
of dead birds under any of them. But they there it makes a creepy
whooshing sound that apparently drives people nuts.
Oh, yeah, no, there's there's lots of examples of that sound
pollution and it's an it's an eyesore. Yeah. And it's an
eyesore. And I've actually, when I fly once flew down it was with
the the Cessna two con from the UK. And I flew past a number of
these, these reactors in France. It's beautiful. So nice to see.
And but you can't come too close, of course, because they
will shoot you out of the sky. And they're pretty clear about
that. And got a wax flying around. It's all protected. So
rod Adams will I'm sure you can clue us in as to exactly what
this is all about. But this sounds like a money grab from a
bunch of douchebags who just want to be a part of the hip new
crowd, which is really it's stealing money from the public.
That it makes no sense to me. renewables, sir rod Adams a call
out to you and I'm sure I'll have an answer by Sunday.
Anyway, I found that a very disturbing story. It was like
here's the leader, world leader in the in the whole process of
independence and
standardization. You're absolutely right. Well, there's
this A lot goes into bring in the agenda 21 climate change?
What is the percentage of scientists that agree that
97% When it comes to climate change when it comes to food
security? We are literally facing a moment of adversity
perhaps even dire necessity. It's hard to convince people
hard to convince people of a challenge that isn't immediately
tangible to everybody particularly. But it is clear to
at least 98 99% of all the scientists in our country
oh god he's up front
that's a carry 9899 Whatever. Yeah,
so I have kind of some climate change clips because there was
another hearing Oh, yes. With White House and Marquis the two
guys are just like step into this. Now unfortunately I have
two of the clips named climate change Botkin three Yeah, but
there's one is what the duplicate nevermind okay,
there's worse Do you have climate change? Botkin one
No, I don't see that. Should be three clips. No, I have two and
I have three and I have a duplicate of three right which
is actually a duplicate that's that's a real duplicate. Yeah.
Did you just not see I can look in the
Okay, I don't have it. Well, let's start with climate change.
You
want to email me something real quick and I'll play No, I
don't have it. This is what I guess I shouldn't everything I
have Okay, so it started with two or and with this is not
though this is an emeritus professor being grilled by one
of the guys I think this is the right click Edit emeritus. That
means he's pro he's retired the University of California Santa
Barbara, very famous guy who's your and he's a he's been on the
he's one of the 97% that means you're
retired and you deserve it.
Exactly.
It's unacceptable that scientists like Dr. Botkin and
all that.
Stuff does this this is the one you told me to play. Yeah, I
know. I did. Now I'm very disturbed because I don't have
the opening clip. Interesting. Social media. Dr. Oz, let me
change my skin to huh. Well, that's disturbing. It happens
because it's the setup for the for the
well, do you want to just hold it until Sunday? Yeah, let
me hold it till Sunday, because it's the same old story. Yeah,
hold it to Sunday, and then we'll deal with another
disgusting series of clips.
Let me come in to save the day. Okay. Have you noticed an
abundance of seagulls recently? In your area? Not at all. It's
natural to see California goes by San Francisco Bay, but not in
the numbers seen today.
Absolutely amazing increase from 20 to over 53,000.
And that's still growing.
It is still growing? Absolutely.
Katherine burns of the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory
sites, all the available food in the Bay Area. Like people moving
to California that goals are now moving to California to
where it is out. They've discovered the Bay Area. Yes.
Are you sure you haven't noticed? There's not a
burden site
and pilots are discovering the goal. We live in a scene just
hit a bird. Emergency returning to San Jose
at citizens really bad we got to do something about this Jose
airport there were 95 plane bird collisions last year, often with
goals at San Francisco's AT and T Park. Huge flux scavenge for
food. This dish
they show the whole stadium filled an empty of course filled
with seagulls John, I cannot believe this
line is second. This is not new. For the last 30 years of
stadiums both mostly Candlestick Park and then the new giant
stadium when you go to a game there and this has been going on
for years. You go to the game there. When they get to the
ninth inning, the birds start to show up and they start to ring
the stadium and pretty soon by the end of the game there. It's
wall to wall birds. And they sit there and then when everyone
leaves the birds swoop down and eat all the french fries and
potato chips and all the shit that people throw on the ground
when they're eating their food at the park and that's going on
forever. Well, it's kind of a site because it's the whole
place is ringed with 1000s of birds. Yeah,
that's what they're showing.
Yeah. So what that's been going on forever.
Well, I think this report now I'm convinced of the bogus
activity of it. Since you are telling me there is no increase
in birds. They've just pulled out some bird watcher to say
there's more birds, but there is a more nefarious reason gusting
fans with their droppings.
The goals eat just about anything. Rick King runs Newby
Island Resource Recovery Park commonly called a garbage dump.
He sees goals as a sanitation threat.
The seagulls are incredibly smart and well organized,
believe it or not. By
using flares, they frighten the goals away. On the ground, they
unleashed the dogs in the air, they employ Falcons to keep the
goals from congregating.
Okay, where do you think it's going? John? What could this be?
What could the cause be?
It cost this one dump $300,000 a year to control
and they're pretty determined. That's how are we?
So far it's a stalemate with scientists unable to say whether
it's climate change or a shortage of predators.
Climate change there you go.
Oh, usually climate change you'll be killing off the
whatever it is that you're killing him on. It's climate
change. Too many birds. Now these seagulls by the way, it's
climb. I have not seen an increase in any of them. I mean,
there's just a state steady population. Sometimes they do.
There's a storm coming in. They come they all move inland. It's
kind of interesting to get them all over the place. But I have
been to the park a number of times and and they don't, and
they're not crapping all over the patrons stage. They
patiently wait for the stadium to clear out they might crap on
the people that are trying to clean up the place afterwards.
But they don't necessarily crap on the people. The other thing
is this has been going on the seagulls around here. I've been
doing this crap forever. I one time just a story. I was while I
was at the Sam's or some places. The Open Air restaurant in
Sausalito I was eating was somebody there and and there was
a bunch of the birds like to sit around the outside and kiss
somebody drops something they'll swoop in and grab it and fly
off. So there was this one woman sitting there, gesticulating
with her left hand holding a burger. waving her hands around.
And this couple of birds. Were looking at this and I was
watching too, because I couldn't I wish I had my camera running.
Because I knew what was going to happen. She said something and
the bird swoops down, one of the seagulls swoops down and grabs
the burger from her hand and flies off with it. This is what
the seagulls do. They're just astonished. They're great. And
have you heard about these new ants? New ants? Well, I know
they're not new, but it's a new plague in the I think it's in
the south east. These ants has been around for a while they
have jaws that are so powerful. They can fling themselves
through the air. Yeah, what does it call it like lock jaw ants or
something?
No, I have not heard this.
I just I'm just I don't have it in front of me. But I'd read
something about it.
Well, let me let me go to this. Since I don't have my global
warming clips in order. Let's bring up something that happened
which was Dr. Oz Yes. Had to testify. before Congress and I
promise I discussed this a little bit because there's there
was one note of humor. Actually two notes of humor in here. But
let's start off with they were on what are we out there? What
was it about what was going on? He
was about false advertising. It was an FTC hearing. And it was
done by the Senate committee and Claire McCaskill was the one
that was reaming this guy, right. So they started off by
playing this embarrassing commercial, which he denied have
anything to do with but they this is the Dr. Oz commercial
that they played in front of Congress.
Magic is thankfully but this little bee has scientists saying
they found the magic Weight Loss Cure for every body type. It's
green coffee beans, and when turned into a supplement, this
miracle pill can burn fat fast for anyone who wants to lose
weight. It's very exciting and it's breaking news. Billions of
you love coffee, a doubt you're gonna love it for a whole other
reason. A staggering newly released study reveals that the
coffee beat it is purest raw form. They hold the secret the
weight loss that you've been waiting for. This study
presented at a meeting of the world's largest scientific
society triggered unprecedented excitement for weight loss
study. It showed women and men who took Green Coffee Extract
lost an astounding amount of fat and weight 17 pounds in 22 weeks
by doing absolutely nothing extra in their day. Magic weight
loss being to help bellboy unwanted pounds that you've been
waiting for
go now to prove it out.com
Now he claims over and over again and he doesn't get paid
for any of this and I'm thinking so here's I got to close and
McCaskill reaming him out and this is clip number one, which
is the long one. The Kaskel reams Dr. Oz
can't figure this out Dr. Oz i You know i i get that you do a
lot of good on your show.
I understand that you give a lot of information. That's great
information about health and you do it in a way that's easily
understandable. You're very talented. You're obviously very
bright. You've been trained in science. It's based medicine.
Now, here's three statements you made on your show. You may think
magic is make believe. But this little bean has scientists
saying they found the mage, magic Weight Loss Cure for every
body type is Green Coffee Extract. Quote, I've got the
number one miracle in a bottle to burn your fat is raspberry
ketone, quote, Garcinia Cambogia. It may be the simple
solution, you've been looking forward to bust your body fat
for good. I don't get why you need to say this stuff. Because
you know, it's not true. So why when you have this amazing
megaphone, and this amazing ability to communicate, why
would you cheapen your show by saying things like that?
Well, if I could disagree about whether they work or not, and
I'll move on why they should the words that I used, and just as
regards where they work, and I take green coffee, next track is
an example. I'm not going to argue that it would pass FDA
muster if it was a pharmaceutical drug seeking
approval. But among the natural products that are out there,
this is a product that has several clinical trials, that
was one large one, a very good quality one that was done the
year that we talked about this in 2012. I
want to know, I want to know about that clinical trial,
because the only one I know was 16 people in India that was paid
for by the company that was that was in fact with a point in time
you have initially talked about this been a miracle. The only
study that was out there was the one was 16 people in India that
was written up by somebody who was being paid by the company
that was producing Shut up
already. Science.
So he goes on of defending himself. And then she comes up
with the second commentary, which is McCaskill does the
second MacAskill clip,
there were internet scam ads, picking one or two supportive
words where of course I support that I wouldn't be talking about
otherwise. Well still ended up out there.
I listened. I'm I'm surprised that you are defending. I mean,
I've tried to really do a lot of research and perfect preparation
for this trial in the scientific community is almost monolithic
against you in terms of efficacy. The three products
that you call miracles are
what trial should get you to the trial does and I can just say
something about this for a moment. Yes. All right. And we
have discussed this on the show when it started Dr. Oz by the
way, he's part of the Oprah empire. Yes, Harpo. He is part
of Sharecare. If you look at his website, sharecare.com is is the
big connection. And I'll just read to you from the New York
Times 2010 When they started website to offer health advice,
some of it from marketers, and this is sharecare.com. Those
behind Sharecare company forum last year to operate it to hope
its features will enable the new website to thrive in a crowded
field. Others in the online health care category included
wowt.com, AOL, CNN eHow, everyday health health.com, MSN,
WebMD, and Yahoo. Sharecare will begin with content contributed
by organizations like AARP the American Cancer Society, the
American Heart Association, the American Red Cross the Cleveland
Clinic, Johns Hopkins, the National Academy of Sports along
with medical professionals like Dr. Mehmet Oz. Those
contributors are to be known as experts on the site. There is
another label, knowledge partners for marketers that are
paying an estimated one to $7 million have become sponsors of
sharecare.com including Colgate Palmolive. Johnson and Johnson
the medicines company, Pfizer, Unilever, Walgreen, who and of
course we know that Dr. Oz shield for the Walgreen
vaccines. This is a known bullcrap operation. And I don't
know what magasin McCaskill is going on about, but Hello,
don't. What is this? This is a whole the whole thing you just
pull in one guy, and about one coffee bean. What about the real
shit that's going on here?
Well, they still focused on him because I think he's a
celebrity. And so they're all asking them questions. But then
you know how people always tell the truth. Yeah, without wanting
to do it without wanting to do it. There's a very interesting
truth telling thing here in the Dr. Oz clip itself, and in your
testimony, you address
online advertisements. What would you like to see done? If I
can just give three ideas? I'm just trying to be constructive
here on my computer. I think the private sector can help by
creating a quick reference registry that lists celebrities
who are legitimately connected to products so I don't happen to
have any products that I sell, but whether the services are
being promised about and involve Ellen DeGeneres, Jimmy Fallon
makes writing a list of scam celebrities goes on.
What? What did he say?
Did he say generous?
He said the list of scam celebrities goes on include
himself. But what he meant, or you wanted to say, is this the
scam advertisers, the scam advertiser.
Yeah, no, you're you're heading up the list my friend.
So the list of scams, celebrities, celebrities. Yeah.
That's pretty funny.
Which is what I think they are. They're scam celebrities. I
think most celebrities are scam celebrities. Oh Freeman Dyson
would be a real celebrity.
Well, that's a good question.
Oh, it's not really a question. It's a statement. Ross. Yeah.
Well, you said I think that is a statement. You're right.
I believe. I want to say this about that.
There's a couple of so of course, Hillary Clinton and
doing the rounds. Live CNN town hall with Christiana unemployed
just when I had respect for Christianity poor, she goes back
down in the toilet flusher down with the pandering bowl crap.
Apparently, the book is only sold 60,000 copies.
Yes. This was a clip I had for the last show. I wanted to play
what I forgot, which is, which was a listing of all the top 10
best nonfiction sellers and an included at number eight
Elizabeth Warren's book and the question was going to be to you
what book is missing from this list? It was on TV? Yeah, of
course. And Hillary's book is not up there. And even though
she's got 60,000 copies, that's not enough to make a real list.
No, no. And she I think this books a dog, I think it's a
turkey. I mean, they spent I don't know what, 8 million bucks
for her to do this book or something they I think they have
to recover. I don't didn't do the calculation. But I would
guess they probably have to sell this a quarter of a million to
two to half a million books to what
sorry, even now you are a without a doubt you have
experience in the literary field. Why is it that even I who
will read a book from Cass Sunstein why I mean, I'll read a
book from anybody. Why have Why am I not interested? What did
they do wrong? Somehow they did something wrong with this book.
Yeah, yeah. Well, now you asked a question. I have to think
about it differently. There was errors made in the marketing of
this book. I think one of the errors is Hillary herself. They
sent her on a book tour. She had nothing interesting to say. And
all the feedback on the book was oh, she's soft peddling. She's
not really telling the truth. She's just covering her ass for
the Benghazi thing. She doesn't, you know, everything that she
has said about the book herself is not interesting. She has not.
And we had a clip of her sitting down. Yeah, it was completely.
She's boring. And she's not making the books on any very
interesting and the name of the book hard choices. Yeah, bad
choices would have been a
bad title. What does it mean?
The book cover is horrendous. I
was gonna say, let me let me look at the cover.
It's a very unattractive photo of her I believe. I mean, I've
seen he say the picture itself is not not appealing. Yeah, it's
not really an interesting staring at you. It's kind of
creepy. And the books long it's too long. Lizabeth Warren books
is short. Like it's not short, short, but it's short. Yeah,
it's a little 600
pages of what it's 600 pages that really Yeah, I
believe so. Again, I didn't get a copy either. But it's not
well,
there's another problem maybe they'd maybe they didn't see the
media properly. That's it. There was no okay. I think that she
met she did too much pre stuff about you before the book came
out. Well, the end
Don't forget, remember the leaked chapter that came out?
Who cares? Yeah.
Not well, not well executed?
No, who was the publisher this let's see who they are. Can take
somebody's heads should roll. Yeah, well, I have no idea. This
is this is this the worst book The Nancy Pelosi is book when
when she came out with a book. Nobody bought it, period. Yeah,
I didn't buy that one either. This is pretty much in that same
league. I think
also, what hurts the book sales is the whole idea of you know,
the only question we want answered is yeah, I'm gonna run.
I think that's also a problem. That's all that's all that the
questions are about. And she's like, in the sea. I watched the
CNN. Town Hall, please. Town Hall. Yeah, and it's every
single time as well. As I wrote in the book as I wrote in
chapter 29. As I say in the book, it's like enough already
does a lot of that was enough already. Yeah. Well, then why
are you here with let's just go read the book go home. Anyway,
there is some anti Hillary sentiment out there of course
fueling your ego to
that I want to just throw this in, which is politico you can
see where they're coming from sources Hillary books sell
strong 100,000 copies officials with Hillary Clinton's
publishers Simon and Schuster insists her book is fared well.
It reports of weak sales.
I don't see you're on any list. Not that I care. Here is CNN and
this is you will recall Patricia Smith, the mother of Shawn
Smith, the squirrel who was killed in Benghazi, one of the
agents there, and she was the she would you'll recall, she was
bitching and moaning about everyone hugging her, but no one
followed up, and they're all liars. And she's back. She was
great that well, she's still great.
What does justice look like for you?
Justice for me, I don't think there is justice for me. My son
is gone. He's dead. Nobody has been standing up to say it's
their fault. And they stand up for it. And this is the reason
why. That's what I want to know why? Why was it? Why were those
decisions made? Not a bunch of baloney that they've been
handing out. But Why were those decisions made? And why? Just
why all bunch of lies? Because nobody's talking to me about
anything, not about anything. Yes, I'm upset. And I think I'll
be upset until the day I die. I'm sorry.
You have every right to be upset. And you deserve all the
answers that were promised. Yeah,
they don't give a damn. Nobody. You would think that. After all
this time, all I've asked for is for Hillary de they give me a
telephone call and tell me what happened. If it's close. It's
classified. Fine whispered in my ear, but just tell me but no,
she gets to know everybody else up there in the Big Shot wing
gets to know. But my the mother of the son to get killed is not
allowed to know these things.
I'd say that some Auntie get that clip. That's from CNN in
the African mid mid day shift. Wow, look. Yeah, CNN has a poll,
quote. Most Democrats not enthusiastic about Hillary for
President. So CNN is? Maybe she should? Maybe that's why she had
to do that Townhall.
Maybe she should have sent some books over there.
There's another idea. Now here's the thing that I find very
interesting. So then we capture this Ahmed, Abu Khattala, who
turns out is the mastermind behind the Benghazi attack. Who
has been interviewed by newspapers and television
interviews in the past.
Nice timing. And yeah,
but wait a minute. Even Bill Maher said, we all know that was
the video everyone's saying he was the video. But this guy
didn't produce the video. So what is it? Was it? Was it the
anti Muslim video? Was it this guy? If I mean, I don't
understand. And then we have. And this will lead me into a
nice slew of clips with our State Department spokes Hall.
Here is Rosen from Fox asking some very obvious questions. You
know, why did it take so long to find this Khattala guy when he
was doing interviews with the press?
And respectfully, I submit to you that that is not properly
framing the question, as no one would expect a terrorist to show
up for a scheduled meeting with the US special forces. The
question being put to you, it seems to me is why US special
forces couldn't have an unscheduled meeting with this
individual in a period of time less than as you put it just a
few years.
Well, James, with all due respect, I would say there are
reasons why individuals, including terrorists meet with
reporters to gain more attention for their issues or their
agenda. That is entirely different from any operation to
to take these individuals into custody. And there are a range
of factors taken into account. Where we are today is that this
individual with the with the support and leadership of the
military, the Justice Department, or range of
officials in the interagency has been apprehended and that is an
important step forward in our view.
So I guess the question along following your own logic, the
next question would be propounded to you is, why didn't
we pose as a reporter to capture him then?
Well, we appreciate your view. If you're volunteering yourself
for future endeavors. We'll take that into account.
That's not posing as a reporter. He is a reporter. So what did
when she turned it back on him? He should have called her Net,
the whole port Jen Psaki, she just gets relentless and I want
deserves it. They will do a couple of clips after our Thank
you segment which I would like to lead in with something from
Cannes Lions. John John Kent. Are you familiar with Cannes
Lions?
Do you
know in Cannes are called ca
n n e s l y o n s
con? It's con in the south of France? For the lions
conference. This is a big douchebag meeting of all a
gathering yes a gathering of the it's a it's a what is the if you
have a flock of geese? What is a what do you have a douchebags
you have a
murder? A Murder of Crows?
A murder of douchebags? Yeah. Okay. And all the advertising
world is down there. And they all packed
I think a pack of NuGet packages.
Do they travel in packs?
I think so.
Pack a pack of D bags. And they all are down there to talk about
how awesome they are with their campaigns and in particular,
online and viral.
And an outlier. Oh, yeah.
And what I was looking for because I saw in my in the
freedom controller in my river. A story about Melissa Marissa
Meyer. And you know, I'm a fan of Marissa Meyer Anna Anna Lee
bit. You're
one of the you one of her biggest supporters. I
am a big supporter, Marissa Meyer. And I wanted to see her
thing, because when people like, oh, man, it was like a big pitch
for Yahoo. Yeah, that's what everybody does. The whole thing
is a pitch. Yeah, of course, you know, Twitter has had a whole
thing. And they bring out their clients is essentially bring
your flyer clients to con you get them laid, get them high,
get them drunk, feed them hang out on the yacht you rented, and
then you sign up the deal. That's exactly what it is. And
oh, and then I'll interview on stage, and we'll meet you and
you'll it'll be on YouTube. So unfortunately, Marissa Meyers
speech was not put on YouTube. But I did find a little ditty
from the Twitter guy. And the Twitter guy, wow, total brought
it but a scary individual. And he's just bringing out one
client after the other. And I wanted to play 40 seconds of his
client from American Express. Now the lady from American
Express. And she is in charge of all marketing, for American
Express. And you just, I just want you to listen. Sometimes we
bring out that the bullcrap generator that just strings, a
whole bunch of words together, and you Silicon Valley bullcrap.
And she's got on a leather sleeveless outfit that looks
like a Gucci thing, that you can just tell that everyone's afraid
to say to her, Hey, lady, you're full of crap.
What we did here was we took your American Express identity,
and we connect it with your Twitter identity. And we took a
tweet, which we turned into a transaction, which we turned
into a conversation. And if you think about the connection
points between commerce and conversation, and content and
influence, and word of mouth, and peer to peer, all of these
things are happening around us every single day, every second
of every single day. And I think as marketers, the bar is very,
very high. We have to enter the conversation, we have to shape
the conversation. We have to empower our customers to have
the conversation and we have to do it in a real authentic,
dynamic, honest, fun way that really enables us to cut through
Wow, she's totally fully crap,
lady. Just process my my credit card purchase and don't screw
up. That's all we're asking for my goodness.
I'm gonna show my school but Joanie didn't know agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do oh yeah, that'd be fun
Yeah, well, thank you. We have a number of people to thank.
There's a number of people you want to turn into a conversation
and have the transaction becomes a viral tweet. Go into the and
thank you all very much so that we could be a part of your your
life and your conversation so we can really, really get through.

least four times a day. Yes, probably more. And you have to
have titles like 13 things and snow needs for breakfast.
Otherwise no one will click on it. Right. Yeah, so I subscribe
to the RSS feed. Now let me tell you, first of all, we welcome a
new they have they have no stories but they do have an NEW
PERSON joining the team. Why? Yeah, well, I'll tell you why
SPR drive my car says, The challenge we have set for
ourselves the first look media to do things we had that haven't
done before, to find we should do some echo on this on a
second. Yes, to find ways to combine journalism and
technology to improve society. We're hard at work establishing
a foundation for the company. And part of that process has
involved consulting with a number of people to help test
our vision. Among those has been a former partner John temple,
who helped found my first journalism startup Honolulu
civic beat. Today, I'm pleased to announce John is joining
first look in a
leadership role.
John is our president of audience and products. What?
Got no audience, they
got no product. That's just like one of those guys. Oh,
you know, gives you Here's my card. He's CEO, president and
chairman of the board, you said really? Well, how many people in
the company? Oh, it's just me. Yeah.
But he's president of audience and products of which they have
none. That's great. So he's joining me now that of course
means that basically, if all you need is what you need three
things audience, product and revenue, then none of that
everyone's just sucking off the teat of the elite Elite. And so
there was a new story. And this was from I have a fix. I got the
story elsewhere before I saw Craig Greenberg, posting it that
the United States apparently their biggest spying station in
Europe is Germany, they have a number of spying stations, which
fits in completely with my theory, that all these people
they're Applebaum and Laura Poitras, they're all spies in
Germany.
They're all just see I've said this from day one.
They're working for the NSA. I don't trust these people at all.
But even more funny, right after Greg green Rob was so smug and
all full of himself like Bucha Yes, Sony.
They're gonna do a movie of me. The movie about me? Oh, and this
other guy named Ed Snowden and the movie about me my movie.
That's kind of the way his book showed up at number nine.
On the bestseller list. Yeah, that would make sense. But
there's now a competing movie. This must this must Gaul him to
no end. This is the the competing movie is from the guy
at the guardian. His book and Oliver Stone is going to direct
that's genre.
Good Goodbye. Good morning while you're by Greenwald he must be
so pissed. Yeah. It's
going to reached out to Oliver Stone at the beginning. Yeah.
No, but he would have taken taking him on.
He began to Greenwald's an arrogant prick. You know it. You
know, he screwed himself on this one. Yeah, I think it's
hilarious. I was laughing. Oh, sorry. You got you got Sony with
a with an option on your book? Yeah, it's
all the money he's ever gonna get as the option money. Yeah.
Which
is what 15 grand maybe?
Well, it can be up to 50
who really want it's not bad. And as you predicted, all you
guys do and just doing talks everywhere. He's on his whole
tour. I see pictures all the time. He's in some like,
Marriott Express, you know, Marriott, whatever. Dining room
with people taking selfies he
is moving copy so that's a plus for him. Oh, yeah. But you know,
where he's out of the loop. Now he's done. He's completely
Oh done over and cyan aura baby. completely done. That's too bad,
you know, but he still has all documents and and I don't know
what this Pierre's doing the whole thing is just what a sham
and all the good journalists are gone. They're not doing
anything. Matt Taibbi Rolling Stone gone.
Yeah, he's over at that same operation gone. They've all been
bought off. Yeah.
Yeah. All this last. All this left is open source journalism.
Twitter. Let's see what happens. We're
talking about Twitter and open source journalists. Let's just
play this clip. This is from France 24. This is interesting
social media stats I thought you'd be interested in which I
have twice but I presume it's a duplicate either one. They're
both the same.
Just 100 hours of video content is uploaded to YouTube every
minute. 500 million messages a post Due to Twitter every day,
this infographic was put together by the digital insight
platform, which has studied stats from the leading social
networks. We also learn that over 20 billion photos have been
shared on Instagram to date. 400 million fleeting photos are sent
via the Snapchat app every day.
What a waste of
bandwidth. These numbers are ludicrous. Yeah.
100 million hours. Really?
Yeah, no, it's a total waste of band five
petabytes. They forgot that one.
Now, they could have added that could have easily added
some petabyte they
get these better numbers. So here's a little tidbit that I
picked up
where I can just hook into your social media thing if you got
something. Yeah, I do. Oh, yes, big conversation on Morning, Joe
about the social media and the search engines and how they're
bullying them that just bullies and they should be sent to jail.
And
some things that are written on Twitter or Facebook would never
be said to anyone. Everyone here has been through this has never
be sent to your face. Right?
Yeah, like you're a horrible child of an elite asshole. Oh,
I'm sorry. Did I say that on Twitter?
Okay, the Supreme Court has agreed to take up a case that
may change the way people talk to each other online. This is
very interesting, let us
hope. He says, Oh, no more freedom of speech let us hold.
The justices will review the conviction of a man who wrote on
his Facebook page about killing his wife after their separation.
He says the postings helped him deal with the situation and he
never posed any true threat. The court will have to decide
whether a reasonable person would feel threatened. Even if
the man never intended actual violence. The answer's yes.
Right. Right, wouldn't you?
Yeah,
I mean, yeah, seriously, this?
Okay, so Joe is thinking, Who gives a crap about anybody else,
let's talk about me
double standard that we're supposedly grappling with, we
need to stop grappling with it, we need to start treating what's
on on websites, the same way we treat instead of publishing in
newspapers. And for these internet providers, the service
providers like Google, Yahoo, Bing, these other things that
decide where to place things, right and take the most vile
garbage from the internet and put it at the top of the search
another and
they please, could they please take this vile garbage podcast
and put it at the top of the search engine? Please, please,
oh, please. They're
coding it. They're the ones that are providing what's called
false light,
false light, what it's called, it's what's known as false. I'm
surprised just who everybody obviously in the media industry
knows that as false light and
take the most vile garbage from the internet and put it at the
top of the search, another angle of they're promoting it. They're
the ones that are providing what's called false light. And
they need to be sued. They need to be taken to the bank, and
they need to clean up their act. And right now, they don't pay.
It's the Wild West people's reputation if we want to, and
all they're actually trying to do is drive internet traffic so
they can get higher ad revenue. It is despicable. And it's
disgusting. And whether you're talking about public figures who
weren't going to run for political office, because of the
disgusting tactics that these organizations use, or a 13 year
old girl being bullied at school, because what's online,
it is outrageous. It's time for this wild west mentality. And
this is where we live. Now. This is not some offshoot of society.
This is where our children live. And it's time for the Supreme
Court. And it's time for lawmakers in Washington DC to
stop treating it like it's some esoteric new technology that we
need that we need to put over in the corner and treat specially
No, right stomp out this hate speech. If it's not allowed on
this. It shouldn't be allowed on the internet. People need to be
held liable, while
the man's attorney in this case says the legal test of
reasonable threats don't apply online because it may not be
obvious when someone is simply blowing off. Absolutely garbage.
Garbage. So what do you mean they need to be taken to the
bank?
I have no idea what he's talking about. Take
that to the bank. Take him to the bank. What? Okay, so he's
irked by it because he gets a lot of negative. Yeah, he
apparently spends all his time online looking looking at it.
Yeah. And you know, he says children live there. No, they
don't have to live there. I want you to just tell him to get off
line. This whole thing is artificial. But I will say this
I have a story. Oh, we love your storms. I had I had some
douchebag call me a racist pig or something. For something. I
said. Oh,
that was yesterday for me. Yeah, well,
on the Twitter. Uh huh. So I did my normal thing. I thought I was
just gonna screw this guy block and I block people because I
don't I don't I don't use Twitter to listen to feedback
like that. Right? So I went to blocking but now I see there's a
whole new process. You can now squelch him mute, mute. Or if
you decide to block them, they put you through a huge
questionnaire. And then you get to answer whether you think it
was abusive, all of a sudden, on this clip that you played, and
you can go down the line say abusive, and then you find the
exact comment that he made that you thought was abusive. Call
for and you get the URL, and you post it in there. And then it
goes into their process where the guy could get kicked off at
Twitter,
and arrested and black bagged, and, and they get to the bank,
rendition.
Whatever the case was, I know this is great. So now, now
instead of just blocking somebody, I'm reporting them.
Interesting. Let me see what hook really there's a whole
thing that goes yeah,
so they will elaborate structure. But you're you're
invited to go and click a bunch of boxes saying this guy's a
douchebag file language, and you go through the whole thing, and
then you give them the exact tweet and like, you give him the
exact tweet you thought was offensive or illegal or, or
horrible. And you give it to him, and then it goes into the
record. Wow, that's another reason. It started about a week,
a week and a half ago.
Another reason to get off. Get I've been mad at the centralized
service, and this is what you get. Yep. You're gonna get
kicked off. Yes, okay. Wow.
Shut up slaves.
Meanwhile, in government, and we now have six more people working
at the IRS whose emails cannot be found due to a computer
crash.
Can you play my missing emails? Kicker?
Oh, yeah. Hold on a second. I didn't even know you had one.
Oh, nice.
Okay, I do have a clip. Because there's hearings going on.
Yeah. Well, of course.
With us now attorneys and foster sounds Kimberly Guilfoyle
analyst will now bring him on the show last night said nobody
believes you guys don't believe they lost emails, right?
Well, the computer crashed the dog ate the homework,
they can still get it it's ridiculous. You both agree
everybody pretty much agrees it's a big fraud. So can anyone
take action against the IRS for this alleged deception?
Absolutely. The US Attorney in DC concerning investigations
holder Attorney General Holder appoint a special prosecutor but
now you're
into the fabric of the Obama administration.
As you as you recall anyone to listen to the show I had a clip
describing the district eight d c d A and the Federal guy there
won't do anything about contempt of Congress he won't do anything
that guy is a stooge nothing can be done about this they're just
gonna let this go this gonna go
the the new spoke crap about it. The new spokes hole for the the
White House. Josh Earnest, which I just find to be a funny name
for someone who is a a press informer. Josh. Josh. Both names
Yeah. Josh Cygnus. Do
earnestly Yeah.
And so there's no audio of this because it's what's known as a
press gaggle. This is the official term a gaggle Do you
are you familiar with the term gaggle
never heard it.
Well, they call it the press gaggle aboard Air Force One,
press gaggle. So there's, well it's what it's called. There's
no audio or video but there's always a transcript cue. Just
one. So there's a question from reporters. Just one thing about
the IRS the IRS said that a computer crash led to an untold
number of Lois Lerner's emails being they just dish
disappeared, apparently. Do you think that's a reasonable
explanation? I think a lot of technical experts say well, you
know, emails aren't stored on a computer. They're stored on the
cloud somewhere. This is this is your your press. By the way.
They're stored on a cloud somewhere. Thank them where this
guy is on the Air Force One with this question. Hello. Let me on
board. Okay. I got some questions. Does that seem like a
reasonable thing for the IRS to be telling congressional
investigators who are outraged these emails have gone missing?
And here's the answer for Mr. Ernest.
You've never heard of a computer crashing before.
What Yeah, that's his answer.
And the question that I would follow up with well, yeah,
computers crashed all the time, but usually the hard disk data
remains intact. Ah, so the answer
to that is the hard disks were recycled. They were thrown out
because you know, they were no good. So they tossed them out.
That's bull crap.
Yeah. In addition, important. Operation would do that.
In addition, important emails at the IRS need to be printed out
in hardcopy, I find this to be of such an someone who has dealt
with the IRS. unhappily, many times I find this to be quite
the outrage. You should try that. I don't have that from
four years ago. Ah, you've got to keep five years. Yeah. It's
really, really not okay.
No, it's not okay at all.
But these guys, but this dip politicizing. And so, you know,
obviously it tells me that the whole IRS scandal was from the
White House or otherwise it wouldn't be going through this
stream. Obviously. Here's a little tidbit I didn't know
that, you know, we're talking about oh, every kid can't leave
any guy behind. This is one of the hearings again, this isn't
the Rosa hearing. And they this one guy just chimes in with this
little tidbit. This is the deserter in Korea clip.
Oh, hold on. I had the wrong one. I thought you're gonna go
to a different one.
Dr. Jacobson raised the issue the case of Mr. Jenkins, who
deserted into North Korea. To my knowledge, there were no
attempts to bring him home until he appeared 40 years later in
Japan.
Really, a little tidbit for you guys out there talking about we
can't leave anyone behind. All right.
There's later shows up
while we're doing tidbits. This is as you know, and even as I
showed up in Hillary's Town Hall, the the farcical number of
74 school shootings since Newtown, it's crazy, it's uh, it
just would just everyone's just shooting kids everywhere. Of
course, statistics, and the actual numbers tell us
differently. This is James Allen Fox, he's a criminologist,
professor. And he did a survey and study of mass shootings,
which apparently are not on the rise at all, I have to
say it's hard to believe when it seems like every week we're
reporting another mass shooting many of them and it's at
schools, that this isn't an increasing trend. But that's
what your data shows. I have to ask, though, your figures only
go to 2012? Could there have been a spike in the last two
years?
The sure there could be but there was a spike in the early
2000s. There was a spike in late 1990s. It was spike around 2005.
And usually spikes are followed by trust. So we shouldn't jump
to conclusions.
There was additional gun control in the 90s. And then some of
that has expired since then, did that have any effect one way or
the other on these shootings?
Well, no, actually, not. I did measure the impact of the
federal weapons ban the assault weapons ban that we had for 10
year period of time beginning in 1994. Mass shootings and the
impact was negligible. Most mass murderers don't use assault
weapons they use. They use semi automatic handguns. That's the
most common weapon, but not what would be declared an assault
weapon and bad
to stop these, what does society need to do?
Well, if you want to stop them, there's things we can do, but I
don't think we will do them. I mean, do we? Are we going to
eliminate private ownership of handguns? I doubt it. Are we
going to round up and arrest everyone who looks a little bit
bizarre? Or has a wears black clothing? Or has a scary
Facebook page? I doubt it.
I don't know. I don't know. Not so sure about that. One.
You say we we treasure our personal freedoms in America.
And unfortunately, occasional mass shootings, as horrific as
they are, is one of the prices that we pay for the freedoms
that we that we enjoy.
There you go. That is the bottom line. I hate to say it, but that
is the reality of it. But of course, this is not how it
works. We've been scared to such a degree that we come up with
crazy things. Here's a some legislation that is Bill House
Bill 347 for the state of Delaware. The title of this bill
is an act to amend titles 14 and 29. On the Delaware code
relating to school safety, be it enacted by the General Assembly
of the state of Delaware. The facilities management section
shall review all building design construction operations, and the
Delaware code will be added and deletions to what shall be
included into schools. Whenever new school building is
constructed or a major renovation undertaken. The
construction or renovation must include at a minimum the
following bulletproof glass in all vestibules lobby and office
areas as well as any windows or doors opening from a classroom
into the interior of the building. To classroom doors,
which can be locked from both sides with a key three.
Installation of an intruder alert system compatible with the
fire Alarm System and capable of being activated from the office
and for
intruder, intruder intruder
bullet resistant whiteboards in every classroom. I knew you'd
like it. bullet resistant whiteboards.
Yeah, so somebody can't shoot up the presentation or
so the there's a there's a company already offering these
of course you think, Oh, this is the what is the name of this
outfit? Anyway, they're 18 by 20. This is relatively small.
But they're about 400 bucks apiece and every kid has one of
these whiteboards and so if someone comes into shoot, they
can hide behind the bulletproof whiteboard.
Yeah, why don't you just gonna do
the trick? Why don't we just teach kids in prison and just
leave them there? Yeah, that's what we that's what I'm gonna
wind up anyway. Yeah. This if there was no, here's the
solution to school shootings, homeschooling. How about that
for an idea? Yeah, I mean, why why would you send your kid to
school?
Not in these circumstances? You have to be debt free
homeschooling does take some effort on the part of the
parents and only no agenda listeners would take it on.
It's real effort. Oh, yeah. It's no joke. My last clip
was they're headed they had on No, it was on C span. They had a
one of these conferences, the Brookings or one of these
because they had a Democrat and a Republican pollster. And they
were yakking about this and that and how Hillary's gonna win and
how Warren has a long shot and all the rest of it. Yeah. And
and it's premature to say this, that the other thing, and this
that and the other. So they, the guy asked an interesting
question at the end about which states in the next couple of
years are going to switch from red to blue or blue to red, in
other words, turn red or republican or turn blue
Democrat, and I found this to be a very interesting answer.
This is I've heard this answer many
times already. 40 seconds left met Naima stay that will
surprise people by going red in 20 16/32. Iowa. Iowa, Iowa. What
will be a state that goes blue next doesn't have to be 2016
that will surprise people. Georgia, Georgia before well
before Texas, Texas will be reliably blue, but it's going to
take another generation to get there. So Georgia. I hate this
reliably blue. All the time.
Democrats stooges.
You hear this in Austin all the time. And people say, Well, if
only the Texans came out to vote, we'd be a blue state.
Okay. I got
Austin. Yeah. Go out to Lubbock and see what they think. Yeah,
it's just funny. So you knew this already?
Yeah, I hear all the time. Oh, yeah. Buyers are really blue,
which is really a blue state. Yeah, good luck with
flub, it's going to be like California just blue. Well,
they are really working on it under the so called net
neutrality. The the reliably blue net route net neutrality, I
would say. This was a story about this about Yeah, high
school, high school firewalls. What
brings students Andrew Lampard showed us screenshots of the
internet, taken from within nonnewaug High School, many of
so called political or advocacy websites blocked by the school's
firewall, but the high school senior says he was truly shocked
by what wasn't blocked.
The firewall was very one sided it was what it blocked and what
it was unblocking.
Lanford said he discovered a bias while researching for a
classroom debate on gun control. First, he was unable to reach
the website for the National Rifle Association. So I
went over the other side, and I went over on sites such as Moms
Demand Action or Newtown action lines. And I noticed that I
couldn't get on these websites but not the others, but Lampard
took
his investigating a step further searching for Connecticut's
political parties.
I immediately found out that the state Democrat website was
unblocked. But the state GOP website was blocked
then for abortion issues national right to life website
blocked at the high school. Planned Parenthood and pro
choice America are both unblocked. Lampard even says he
found a Christian sites blocked including the website for the
Vatican.
However, Islam guy is unblocked.
He claims he informed Woodbury Superintendent of his discovery,
but after a week, nothing was done. It's the caliphate.
The Caliphate is coming.
Isn't that an unbelievable story?
No, it's completely believed. No,
not at all.
No agenda show.com is blocked. Awkward many schools. I hear
this all the time. Yeah, it sucks.
Wouldn't surprise me. Yeah, this is this is the way it's going to
go. Yeah, that's your, by the way. as much help as we can get
as long as we can get into we have to expand our audience so
we have somebody to complain
the CEO of BitTorrent reached out to me.
Oh, good. Yeah. And, and he reached out to me a long time
ago. And I you know, I'm just
just like, funny you mentioned that because that was mentioned.
Yes. I'm sure it was. Where's the vortex says the way I ran
into vor. I didn't do anything.
Yeah, that's kind of exactly what I heard. Yes. Well, I'm
sorry. I really am sorry, but I knew that this would work out
anyway. So I
said, Yeah, but he's a LIFO. Guy. It's true. Yeah, that's,
He's, um, what
can I say is the only way I can get
by it is I said, No, I'll
work. I'll work with you. I work with you guys. I mean, while the
the Senate and House of Representatives the United
States of America, there's a bill that was put in by the
democratics. to direct the Federal Communications
Commission to Prohm, more promulgate regulations,
promulgate what is promulgated me,
you know, to promote, it means up front form of the
word promote, or they just say promote?
Well, I think it means promote and expand
using expensive words. It says just use me thanks to confuse
simple people like me, it's more than promote us promote and make
bigger, promulgate regulations that prohibit certain
preferential treatment of or prioritization of internet
traffic. And this is very interesting. This Act may be
cited as the online Competition and Consumer Choice Act of 2014.
And the regulation so the commission shall promulgate
regulations that prohibit a broadband provider from entering
into an agreement with an edge provider under which the
broadband provider agrees for consideration in transmitting
network traffic over the broadband Internet access
service of an end user to give preferential treatment or
priority to the traffic of such edge provider over the traffic
of other edge providers, and prohibit a broadband provider in
transmitting network traffic over the broadband Internet
access service of an end user from giving preferential
treatment or priority to the traffic of content application
services or devices that are provided or operated by such
broadband provider over the traffic of other content,
applications, services or devices now, fine. I immediately
thought of a column. I don't I don't know if you actually wrote
the column or if you just mentioned on the show where you
said how about the surgeon is performing open heart surgery.
And you might want to have those packets not delayed if he's
doing it via TCP IP, I did write about this. Well, I looked for
the exceptions. Certain traffic not affected. Nothing in this
section shall be construed as superseding any obligation or
authorization. A broad broadband provider may have to address the
needs of emergency communications or law
enforcement, public safety or national security authorities
consistent with or as permitted by applicable law or as limiting
the ability of the provider to do so. So they kind of forget
this, don't they? Yeah, morons. Nah.
So a surgeon Tao can do remote surgery while he can but he just
has no way out. If somebody's watching a Netflix. I'm watching
hey, man, I'm watching
oranges, the new black I don't care about your heart. It's not
my problem.
Very sad. Well, that's the way it goes. It's almost
like like this survey. You'll see this now. This is your open
source journalism press. Oh, FCC did a survey.
DSL are lying about their speed.
So so the cable guys,
I read the whole report. And it's like page one, like halfway
down page two where it says something in the caveat, notably
in this graph. It's DSL providers who overstate what we
actually were able to achieve. But if you look at how they did
this, and they worked only with level three, and there's all
these disclaimers. And there's all these disclaimers by the
cable companies about their DOCSIS three, I mean, please,
I'm not sure why this was done. Or you know, other than to
promote cable broadband over DSL. That's what it looks like
to me. That that's certainly the way it's being spun. But what a
waste of time. Just a waste. These people are wet panty
waste. My mom would say their panties is a
waste. What do they use that term too?
What does that mean? Panty waste.
uses a pushy, so that's what we would use today. Panty waste.
All right. Hey, let's do our or a father belated Father's Day
