To grow pot that's what a greenhouse is for. Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, August 17 2014. It's time for you get my nation
media assassination episode 644. This
is no agenda, just mere
city blocks from the League of Nations headquarters and FEMA
Region to hear in the Big Apple in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where apparently there's
a lot of what you call latency today and we're stuck with it.
I'm John C. Dvorak. Levin Buzzkill. You shouldn't have too
much latency, it should be for League. The League of Nations
was headquartered in San Francisco
Oh then there's a latency of several 1000 miles and I
switched to the I'm a little mad to the way I think we've talked
about this before the way everything is set up. And I have
run everything on one single computer it really does work
except I have the jingle pad which is wirelessly operated
from my generation one no cellular network having Wi Fi
only iPad, which is all I use it for. But it has to so it has to
be on the same network as the computer. And that network also
has to allow inter communication between the two devices and
apparently the I Bong you know, the these guys the I bond hotel
network facilities don't allow inter device communication
that stinks.
Yeah, so then I saw I tried it on my little I have a little
freedom pop MiFi device II thingy. But we just had too much
latency on the on the Skype. So anyway, you know, just just
don't say the word weird too often because it just takes me
too long to get it all done.
So if I said it, you wouldn't get to the buzzer fast enough.
I have no what I can try. I mean, I can I can do my I can do
my best.
Yeah, the way this works, it seems to me and I hate that
buzzer.
Especially since it now seems to be left channel only today. Why?
Well, whatever the case is, it still sounds crowded. Okay. But
the the idea is it's a Pavlov's thing where you say the word
that you don't want to say we're trying to trick we train each
other on the show to not say certain things like the fact of
the matter. Yes. Or the truth of the matter which everywhere. And
you get this jarring beep. And it's just it's like an electric
shock. And it should get snap you out of saying that would be
even better? If not if it's an hour later.
No, it doesn't quite work that way. But
like telling the dog he shouldn't have pooped a week
ago.
It kind of ruins the Pavlovian idea of it all. Yeah, great.
Very good. I don't know how I don't think I can do anything
about it.
Okay, well, we're I was so rude. So you're in New York. I'm in
California. We're doing the coast to coast show. We are
indeed. Oh, there's a you notice that a lot of new news. I mean,
a lot of stuff is coming to a head that Ferguson is still
chewing up too much of the
Yeah, the, of course when you're at a family reunion, which is
why I'm here there's always some discussion of particularly when
you look at the curry, Greg clan, you're going to expect
some political conversation. But the Ferguson thing, I don't know
if that really came up at all.
Oh, good. So what did come up?
Oh, oh, my goodness. We want to talk about Ferguson first just
so we can just get over it get get it really have
any Ferguson news except for the people finding ear plugs and
claiming their rubber bullets.
There was a few things that I found. And if and by the way, we
got to keep the tape
of that. That guy that they killed was it was a stooge and
that guy was a punk.
Yeah. So MSNBC apparently has been given the memo to be all in
on this. And as you I think, quite astutely deconstructed,
the reason why this particular killing of this particular black
man, or of any man, I would say, because this happens white,
black, yellow, brown all over the country. This happens on a
daily basis. But this particular one is for a very specific,
nefarious to kind of evil. A 2014. midterm election. Voting.
Get out to vote get out the vote. Yes. And the front end as
we were talking on Thursday, the President came out and he had to
eat from interrupted his vacation to say several things.
New York City and in New York City had a huge protests So just
as we were arriving and this is well organized this, this Hands
up, don't shoot, this is Hands up, don't shoot, which I didn't
really realize, apparently, this is what Michael Brown said. He
said, I had my hands up, don't shoot. I wish we have no further
evidence other than it was a meme propagated immediately. And
we have any I got so many. No, not so many. But I got quite a
significant number of social media messages saying we are
racist a holes are so called deconstruction is stupid. We
don't know what we're talking about. And I think I think we
really do. And I think this is so obvious what, what is, again,
we're trying to stir up racial hatred. And it's getting to the
point now where CNN is bringing in British reporters who do
typically do financial reports. This is who is this girl's name,
she's she's a Brit, and her name is Zane Asher. Dark skinned, of
course, because you know, we really have to keep pushing it.
It to me this is the racism that's happening is what you're
being watched being shoved down your throat on, on CNN. And she
just breaks out some numbers, which because she's a financial
reporter. And of course, because of CNN, you just have to take
this fact and for truth. Here we go. Protests
have turned ugly in Ferguson, Missouri after the death of
Michael Brown at the hands of police. But underlying the
racial tensions in Ferguson is an economic Musik. I know
between blacks and whites, it's a tale of two cities,
years, under underlying it is a tale of the blacks and the
whites have turned ugly. This is not true. It could be the
police. And you could even go as far to say white police. You
can't just say whites and blacks is bullshit, like
I said in Missouri after the death of Michael Brown at the
hands of police. But underlying the racial tensions in Ferguson
is an economic tension between blacks and whites. It's a tale
of two cities. And the stark financial differences are laid
bare by the numbers. We're going to break them down for
you. I'm gonna break them down for you. Who she Alex Jones.
Now, I'm gonna break this down for you.
25% of blacks in the Ferguson area live below the poverty line
compared to only 11% of whites. median income of blacks in
Ferguson is about 60% of what Whitesnake and the unemployment
rate among blacks in Bergson is nearly 20% That's almost double
the national average among African Americans.
By the way, no source getting for these numbers, just being by
the numbers mainstream.
Yeah, this is bullcrap that is double the national average a
but to this day, you could do this in Oakland and give the
same numbers sure can do this. And we have to get cities around
the country that have large black populations, because the
blacks had been screwed and during the Obama revolution is a
fact and nobody wants to imagine that. And you could do that. But
what you but just focusing on Ferguson as though it's some
sort of an exception to some rule is nonsense. Why
transparent crap
had an unemployment rate bugs and 6.7%. Now this is a city
that used to be 75%, white just 25 years ago, and now it is 67%
Black. And despite the changes in demographics over time, the
police force city government has remained nearly all white.
This really this by the way, I'm ashamed now to not only be a
white man, but to be an American and to even be in this country.
You got to do with it. What does she know about
that? She's a financial girl. She knows she has all the
answers not even jet Yeah. And shame G and
finance. Yes. And you shouldn't bring these people on like this.
You should be
ashamed of yourself. John, you there in rich white Berkeley.
When do you start? When does the white cops go and start killing
killing the the black people?
I have these problems in California because we're run by
Democrats.
Aggregation is still a problem across America. A Brown
University study showed that St. Louis where Ferguson is located
is actually the ninth most racially segregated city in the
US.
Wow, the top 10 though. I mean, what is that?
About St. Louis, they talking about Ferguson, they talking
about East St. Louis, what are they talking about? The St.
Louis is in Illinois? I don't know.
So you get the idea of that. I don't have to play all of it.
What she said the comments from the New Yorkers.
You know, here's the joke of this. This is going to CNN which
is mostly a liberal and middle and independent white audience.
There's no blacks in the world that watch CNN they just
wouldn't do it. Because it's such a lily white network.
That's why they would put the black woman on. So they kind of
covered they got two checkboxes to hit might be less In two
seconds, just get it out of the way.
And by the way, I know how it sounds. But no, we're not raving
Republicans here. We really aren't. We're just people who
are looking at something objectively without the Cultural
Marxism of political correctness. And just seeing
some obvious issues with this reporting, or whatever you want.
So why don't know what is the specs to accomplish this up to
reconfirm the preconceived notions of the liberals who
watch CNN? And I mean, if they haven't, you know, if they're
not watching MSNBC, so it doesn't read this is not really
getting done, what needs to get done, which is to get out to
black vote, because this, this is not accomplishing New York
that New York protests will do something that will have an
effect.
Well, yeah. Although when you listen to what the New Yorkers
are saying the ones that are featured in this report is,
well, let's see. Well, I think
it's beautiful that everybody gathered here in solidarity,
however, I feel as though is not really going to bring much of a
change. It's like it's a good thing to do. It's
good to show that we're here. We stand for something and we all
agree and we want change. But what will be the result of us
sitting here with our hands up today?
I agree. And it's you should change your Twitter icon. I
think that's what that's what you're missing here. No, I
think, yes. Yeah. Like a scab being picked constantly and
constantly. It's like this case has happened so many times. I
was at a Shawn Bell March when when we all marched for him.
Just a few weeks ago, Eric Garner was killed. There was a
young man shot in LA two days ago and his back
when I was watching this, the first thing that popped into my
head, of course, because of the family reunion was no one ever
marches for the dead Marines, or dead Iraqis or dead anybody.
There's no There's no outrage, there's no protest. You know,
there's 240 People die in from a predominantly from the
Netherlands die in an aircraft, and no one on the street
protesting. And you know, of course, you know, well, we're
happy to, you know, to blame the guy who clearly
was shot in the back. That's the deal.
Okay. Shot in the back, the only down, it doesn't count. If
you're down, do you don't get any respect? If you're down, you
have to be shot in the back. Yes. And
he was unarmed, African American. Over and over and
over, we see these things happening. I think that we
become numb to them, we heal and we move on. And with this mic
bouncing, it was just like I said, Billy is so brazen. And
we're really upset.
It's not it's just not so blatant and brazen. I'm just
sorry. It's not true. And this is this is now bothersome as, as
it turns out, from what we know from the police reports, it's
not it's not proof either. But what is being reported, and
certainly not contradicted at the time, is that he had just
robbed the convenience store. And that was before this, this
happened. And then you know, this is how MSNBC just says that
is not important. That is that is not what is important in this
because you've already been given the narrative you've been
given the story, we have no evidence to back it up other
than Yeah, someone's dead. That's that's the evidence. I
mean,
how much does this complicate things
such as MSNBC, how much does it complicate things that he just
robbed a convenience store before that,
and you think might this fact fact Thank you be something that
instills uncertainty within the community, which has become a
lot calmer overnight,
there's gonna be absolutely no uncertainty within this
community. The people in the community feel that Michael
Brown was murdered in cold blood and left like a man on the
streets, because some would want to connect left like
an animal on the streets. Like an animal on the streets.
He was left, they left him there, they shot him, and they
just left him there. Somebody's saying that's,
essentially I'm sorry, I am on the streets. Just roll it back.
I'm sorry. You have the budget
within this community. The people in the community feel
that Michael Brown was murdered in cold blood and left like
ma'am on the streets, because some would want to connect the
fact that he may have stole a pack of cigarettes that cost $1
And a store to his characteristics as a person,
whether he was a thug or violent, which could have led to
some sort of violent confrontation with the police.
But as the case unfurls, the facts will have the manner The
ballistic evidence will have to matter. And so as we learn more
about exactly what happened, I think it'd be clear. You know,
what happened in those moments right before that police officer
fired that first shot. That's what matters.
Well, okay, okay. But this is the this is what MSNBC is doing.
And here we have Luke Russert who is a son of the the famous
predecessor Dr. Ross had predecessor to chip Gregory who
is now out and and isn't it crazy that we went from chip to
Chuck Yeah, I didn't crazy crazy. Here is Luke Russert and
And he does correct himself from what I think is a libelous
statement. And I don't even Oh, since he corrects himself, I
guess it's okay. What does it even mean?
You actually wind it. There's a number of exceptions to libel
laws. And if you're newsmedia, you have a defined moment where
you can correct yourself, run a correction or whatever, and you
will get charged. But it's interesting that he would make a
mistake in the first place.
And BCS Ron Allen joins us live now from Ferguson on more what
to expect over the next few hours. And Ron, obviously, last
night was a real change that we saw a few nights ago, there is a
sort of unity between police and protesters, at least an
understanding and peace was there. But the big news this
morning is we expect to hear for the first time the name of the
officer who was involved in the murder of Michael Brown, or the
killing of Michael Brown.
But that's the that's that's the thinking that that is what
they're all thinking over there.
Yeah, that's actually a very good cash. In fact, yeah. Yeah.
Great catch. You're all thinking murder.
And then that's the media. Yeah. And, and the President, I did
clip a little piece from his, his interrupting his vacation on
Thursday to speak about ISIS. ISIL Take your pick. And and
what happened in in Ferguson ever
unexcused for violence against police, for for those who would
use this tragedy as a cover for vandalism, or looting. There's
also no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful
protests, or to throw protesters in jail for lawfully exercising
their First Amendment rights are, and here in the United
States of America, police should not be bullying or arresting
journalists who are just trying to do their jobs.
That's what what the administration is supposed to do
that you please. Mr. Rising from Fox, we're
supposed to freeze around the conventions free speech. So this
is a battle.
You can throw No, but the police shouldn't be doing it. It's the
national government. You know, it's the administration that
gets to throw the journalists in jail and, and arrest them and
indict them. That's our job, hey,
and report to the American people on what they see on the
ground. Simply, we all need to hold ourselves to a high
standard, particularly those of us in positions of authority. I
agree.
I agree. Right? The police department you're violating you
must give will be subject to
arrest and or other action.
I thought this was a joke. This really is audio from ferocious.
It sounds so authentic. As in like movie movie authentic.
Yeah. But it's real.
Late again, okay,
happy to do that. As a police department,
you're violating a state imposed curfew. You must continue to
disperse. Or you will be subject to arrest and or other actions.
It's education is liberation contradiction in this world as
you refer to them?
It fits perfectly.
It does. You got to make a mash up of those things. Yeah.
Unfortunately, anyway, he'd be adding anyway, I don't see that
we can contribute anything more than the basic thesis? No, no, I
don't think so either. And I don't see any I didn't get
anybody
other than other than Well, other than the
sound white people would complain.
Well, there's something. There's one other thing here the This is
St. Louis, the prosecutor and you recall on Thursday, we had a
couple of clips from some Democratic Democrat, local
politicians, state senators would fact claim that this had
been a execution style shooting.
Yeah, yeah. Right. That yeah, talking about irresponsible.
Yeah.
And so they were out in full force. And we had I have a clip.
It was uninteresting. For me. It was Rachel Maddow had her alter
ego. Chris, what's his name? Chris, Chris Hayes. Chris Hayes
out in the streets in the rain. And he was talking to the same
state senators, and they were all saying Robert McCullough has
to go he is the the state prosecutor and when you look
this guy up. I remember him back in the day when he had I think
Axl Rose arrested Because he'd beat up some people which is
probably proper and there was big protests no can't have him
and then there was the 2001 Jack in the Box shooting you know so
it's it's really an overthrow of all power in in St. Louis
justified or not that's what it is. It's to get everybody out
and this of course is also happening with in Texas with
with Rick Perry.
Yeah I have the clip that introduces what happened.
Oh good because I have I have my own personal Texas analysis. I'd
be happy to do that.
Let me let me find ya like to hear this. Rick Perry indicted.
Why is it not opening up?
Oh, crap. I could play a little ditty in the meantime.
says why can't it open? Rick Perry indicted? Hold on a
second. This is wrong. Because it's zero. But it's so good.
Now. Hold on. Well, we might as well fix this now. Because it
says zero bytes. No.
I have a copy seven.
Yeah. I'm sure you have a copy. No, I mean, I mean, I sent
myself the same copy I sent you.
Yeah, no, I know. But it's for some reason it didn't. didn't
load properly here. Give me a second. This is what happens
when we're wearing DiPiro from parts of the world. Okay, Rick
Perry indicted. Now I have the whole thing. We have
this news in now out of Texas Governor Rick Perry was indicted
by a grand jury this afternoon on two criminal charges, abuse
of official capacity and coercion of a public servant.
That felony charges stemmed from the Governor's efforts to force
the resignation of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary
Lemberg. That Travis County is where the state Texas State
Capitol Austin is located last year. Lemberg, who is a Democrat
pled guilty to drunken driving but she refused to resign her
position despite calls to do so from the Republican governor.
Things came to a head when Governor Perry vetoed millions
of dollars of state funding for Limburg, Public Integrity Unit,
that move has now put him
in big legal trouble,
right. This by the way, was something that was guffawed over
at the at the family reunion, as the news came out and like most
of most of my family are, are Democrats I think are lifelong
Democrats. Uncle Don, of course was a Republican and served
under a multiple Republican presidents but then became
Democrat and voted for Obama twice. I think as a good agency,
man, that's what you do. Well, you
weigh in I don't know about that the first time as a good agency
man when you have a report he
he despises 43 W. George W. Bush despises him. Okay, really like
really, George
W. Bush didn't run against Al Gore, a military man army again.
I'm sorry against Obama, a military man ran against Obama,
by the name of McCain.
I think you don't like he certainly doesn't like McCain.
Now he sees through a lot of bullcrap, but I think he kind of
fell a bit for the for the Obama vibe, the idea of how we can
change something.
And when a softy in his old age.
Well, we'll talk about that. I'm not so sure. But anyway, so
everyone's like, Oh, did you see Rick Perry got a knife? Yeah, I
guess the glasses didn't help him.
abuse of power.
Yeah, that doesn't happen anywhere ever. There's no abuse
of power. I don't like droning American citizens overseas that
don't it's not really an abuse of power anything or
overstepping your boundary of constitutional rights and
privileges and law. So I know a bit about this case, because
this, this district attorney, it's, of course, locally in
Austin, and this has been on the news for a long time. Since this
happened almost a year ago when she was arrested. I think it was
on route 2222 which is not a good place to be driving drunk
with an open container of vodka. And she she was so horrible to
the police officers and she had I think like three times the
legal limit of alcohol and she was spitting at the at the at
the cops and they put a hood on her with near the spit mask
because she was spitting it everybody saying I'm not going
to stay here more than six hours. You know who I am, you
know, I'll get out of here. And the problem is she's she's
Democrat. This is this is the issue that from what from what I
understand. And she headed up the Public Integrity Unit, which
the governor can appoint a new person to if she were to go and
she was in jail for I think almost a month and they're not
easy. I On drunken driving in Texas, they do mess you up and
rightly so don't drink and drive in Texas, certainly not in
Austin. But she is a Democrat. And so you don't really hear
about that was yeah, it was big news, but not now all of a
sudden, where he's saying, Well, you know what, I gotta get rid
of this woman one way or the other, she's not going to
resign. So I'm just going to veto all funding for her
department, the public integrity.
Okay, why doesn't he have the right to do that? He's He's the
governor, he can veto things.
Well, I think what now we have now it'll come down to what is
the reason I didn't he doesn't need to have a reason. When you
veto something does. Does the President need a reason to
veto I veto veto? You don't need a reason? It's not just like,
you know, I plead guilty with an excuse.
I'm sorry, I really didn't mean. Right. Well, this ad was seen as
a it's this big political bomb of all. He's abusing his power
to really this is what you're gonna get to indict him over
when it comes to abuse of power. Forget all the bribery and
trying to force the horse vaccinations on girls with a
back end deal into into market or is it marketed as Gardasil,
and none of that stuff? But then also this woman, you know,
sorry, she's the I don't want her being a district attorney.
She's insane when she's drunk.
He knows he's probably drunk a lot as you wouldn't get drunk.
I can't I don't think I've ever been that drunk. Ever. I've
never even been sick from alcohol ever in my life spit,
like the spitting part.
He's just spitting on the cops who will talk about hubris. I'm
drunk and I'm spitting on you because I'm the district
attorney. Hey, I'll
get out here, don't you?
But of course, none of that is discussed. It's the abuse of
power all Oh, abuse of power. So
everybody at the family reunion was all in on this because they
hate Perry because of his glasses.
No, they hate Perry because he's, you know, it's already
tough to see I'm not really from Texas is you know, well you from
Austin. So you're okay. Because Austin, of course is like an
oasis in Texas. And it's horrible.
This is all part of course, we talked about this on the show a
couple of times, we had the original clips of demographers
who say that Texas
is a blue state Yeah, the next state to go completely blue
going to be a
blue state. As soon as you're after Georgia turns blue, then
Texas is next. And that will be orchestrated through a series of
very hard ask maneuvers. And I think this is one of
them. Yes. But that's not the the general narrative. And of
course, it's inevitable that a guns come up. Well, you know,
Texas, yeah, you got guns. I said, Yeah, but you don't
conceal carry. Do you? Know, I got it in the car, though.
Mickey's got one in the car. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, this brings
me to a bunch of clips.
Okay, I do want to talk about the reunion so let's just make
sure Yeah,
like that. You brought up guns. You got to circle back. Yeah, I
have it. Okay, there's a couple of clips I want to pull here
because Bill Ayers was on C span I wish everyone in the Bill
Ayers is Bill Ayers is the original Weather Underground guy
they armed themselves to the teeth and tried to blow up the
the Pentagon and then he became and then he was a violent during
the 60s and 70s a violent domestic terrorist who then
became a professor of education at the University of Illinois
I had the wrong answer. I should have said I opened carry What
are you talking about? My musket?
Sorry, I missed
when when I gave the wrong answer to my family when they
said you don't conceal carry I should have said I open carry
with my musket at Target. Yeah, so I didn't mean to interrupt.
Alright. Bill to Bill Ayers anyway, certainly also influence
on the president. Right.
And the supposedly they're good, they're old friends and
whatever. But whatever the case is, he's just a left wing idea
log, who I actually praised in a show maybe a month ago because
he had said, said some things that I thought were were
reasonable. But then again, on the more recent thing, he had
this debate he had on C span he was he I think he was thinking
it was interesting that somebody asked that some Vietnam vet
asked him a question that I don't think he expected the to
get the answer that he did. But that contrasts interesting ly to
me with a with a lecture given by this kid who's now an adult.
When I first heard this kid he's a fast talking Orthodox Jew. One
way to describe him and fast talking fast quick witted is the
Key very annoying guy, you won't like him. Okay, his name is Ben
Shapiro. Okay. And Shapiro is a right wing Jew, which is unusual
in and of itself. And he, he is. He's one of those kids who
graduated when he was 16. And then took a couple of, you know,
admitted guys degrees and the big schools. He's a smart guy.
And he's a writer, and he's a speaker. And I first heard him
do public speaking when he was like 17, or 16. And he was on C
span, and I was watching him as little as a guest was years ago,
and I said, Oh, this kid's dangerous. And he's just getting
more dangerous. And he's not even mature yet, as far as I can
tell. But he does talk about a couple of things on guns. And
then I want to play those clips. And then I want to contrast it
with the Bill Ayers commentary. Okay, that was on a different
event. So let's play it. He said, got Ben. Ben Shapiro on
guns. I think the one we want is Ben Shapiro on guns, one,
the American people do not understand a fundamental truth.
That fundamental truth is that okay,
yes, right off the bat. You're right. I hated the fundamentals
with
every government law, every government regulation is backed
by a gun, every one of them. In the end, the EPA regulations on
how much water you use in your toilet, if you don't use the
proper amount of water in your toilet, the first thing they
will do is they will send you a fine if you refuse to pay the
fine, they will put a lien on your property. If you're paid
for us to pay the lien, they will send an agent with a gun to
your house to arrest you. And if you resist, they'll shoot you.
Every government law is backed by point of gun. And now if
Americans realize this, if it occurred to them that this was
the truth, there might be a little bit more careful about
what exactly they decided to give people the power to do with
a gun. Now the left has this meme that folks on the right
love guns, we love guns. You're right. We do love guns for self
defense. There's only one group in America that loves guns more
than folks on the right folks on the left who want to use the
government gun in order to violate the rights of people on
the right. They love to have
Why isn't this guy one of the Breitbart group?
He writes for Bing operations all right, all right. Yeah, that
makes sense. Okay, so so so this argument is pretty was the kind
of argument you could use
it. He's I should have used that it's a you guys just want to
kill the citizens. We just want to in taxes, we just want to be
ready to fight back.
So he has another longer little exposition which we should play,
which is, which is the guns and morality talk. But actually,
let's skip that because you don't want to have too much Ben
Shapiro in a row. Let's just back off and go to Bill Ayers on
the Second Amendment. Now he's given he's having a discussion
with this other guy with this. I've what's his name? I'm
thinking about it. This Indian guy was always debating Eris for
some reason. And he not take a conscious from No, no, no, he'd
be on bare side. How would you debate him? Sorry? No, I gotta
think of his name in a minute. Anyway, airs. Now they're not
taking questions from the audience and a Vietnam vet comes
up. And this just to me, which is I lost. I've lost all respect
for Bill Ayers on this answer.
Michelle, you want to start? Yeah, sure. You ready? Hello. My
name is Michael Walsh. I'm from Troy New Hampshire. Mr. Harris.
I live figure times I was in Vietnam in 68, the Tet Offensive
in the 101st Airborne Division. I came back.
You got to hear the other side. I came back and I was at the
moratorium and Boston calm. And I heard Abbie Hoffman speak, we
marched down Mass Ave and took over Harvard Square. I had more
tear gas that night than I've ever had in my life. And you
took an arm stance against the United States government. And I
might not agree with it. But it took courage to do that. How do
you still feel about the right to bear arms? Do I have a right
to bear arms are suddenly the government that has gets to have
guns?
You're asking me about the Second Amendment. I think that I
think we've gone way too far. And that we need to find a way
to take the you know, take back some of the extreme kind of gun
ownership that exists. It's not a question of do I think I think
we should disarm and I think that means that we should
absolutely allow serious background checks to allow, you
know, serious kind of limits on what people are sold the idea
that somehow everybody has a right to a machine gun, and
that's protected by the Second Amendment is pure folly, and
it's ridiculous and it's leading us in a very dangerous
direction.
Mr. D'Souza, would you comment on that please?
Not you don't machine guns aren't and you don't have a
right to machine gun.
Well, here's the thing. I think you do have a right to machine
gun by the way there on the other side of the debate was
Denise D'souza who's always debating him. I think for one
thing, this guy uses guns and weapons to make his points
during the visit during his protest. But now that he's a
he's an established,
he's an elite.
He's an elite. They're all bad. And this is again, the same
argument. I have never been convinced about the machine gun
argument. Yeah. I don't want people with machine guns. But I
don't see that they don't fit into the scheme. Well, we before
people had cannons. Yeah, that was gonna say that's what we've
talked about before. It was a Joe Frazier. Joe or Cassius
Clay. I knew you'd love me.
It was cashes. Clay.
Come on. Come on. Don't I get a ding for that. Come on. It was
fun.
You get a ding for Joe Frazier. That was good. It was complex.
All that? Thank you. Why it's a it's a it's a callback removed
there. It's very, very unique. I've never seen you do that.
The aristocrats.
Anyway, yeah. Let's now you can play the longer clip of Shapiro
because you know, you're getting a little closer to his pacing.
And he's just score creates this argument that Bill Ayers just
made and talks about how dumb the Republicans are about all
this stuff. He's Shapiro is a very entertaining guy. He's got
great arguments that you can twist in. Use yourself in some
way or other, I believe and I very much enjoy listening to
him, even though he's a fast talker. But having gone to Cal
Burke. Lee, this type of pattern is not unknown to me. And this
is Bill Shapiro on guns and morality.
This is a long clip have to speak the language of morality.
You must speak the language of morality, the left wins, because
nobody on the left knows anything about politics. They
know you're evil. That's it. They know you're a racist,
sexist pig and homophobe who hates the poor?
No, he's right about that. That's pretty much everyone in
Texas except in Austin.
Right? That's what they know about you. And it's not they
think that about you. They know that about you. Deep down they
know all these evil things about you, which is why Thanksgiving
dinners are always so awkward if you're unfortunate to have
Jewish relatives or, or you have friends on the left, which are
the city's active focus group. The the answer to all of this is
to speak in the language of morality. This is why I never
say the government compels people to do stuff. The
government does not compel people to do stuff. The
government compels people to do stuff at points of gun. Why do I
say that? Because leftists are scared of guns. When we say the
government compels things, people say Oh, well, compulsion,
well, that's just like taxes, right? Know that somebody's
coming to your house in the middle of the night with a SWAT
team with a gun, pointing it at you and dragging you off to
prison for not doing what they want. Right? That is what we are
facing. Right when it comes to the left. It's not when we were
such idiots. Honestly, we were constantly arguing about whether
our tax program is more efficient than their tax
program. It's not about efficiency. Barack Obama gave
the right answer to the wrong question, right he gave when he
was asked in 2008. Do you would you raise the capital gains tax?
Even if it means less revenue to the government? Would you raise
it? He said yes. For purposes of fairness. Even if it meant
people were more impoverished, even if it meant people were
more poor? The answer was yes. For purposes of fairness. Why?
Because people don't speak the language of poverty. People
don't speak the language of efficiency. People speak the
people who speak Mitt Romney's 57 Point tax plan. He can't even
name two points on his 57 Point tax plan. People speak the
language of fairness and justice and morality. They want to think
that they are right and the other guy is wrong. They want to
have a feeling of in many cases unearned moral superiority based
on their opposition to things. This is why all everybody was
getting off ripping on Donald Sterling for being a crazy old
racist, coot? Did they accomplish anything? No. But
they felt real good because they got to go around telling all
their friends that Donald Sterling was racist old code,
right? This is what they do. So speak their language. In other
words, next time they say something like I believe in the
minimum wage, then you should say, Why exactly is it that you
want to put a gun to the head of a business owner and force them
to pay something? Why is that? Okay? Why isn't that violative
of basic principles of consent? Like you, you know, you ever
hear you like gay marriage, because you say that two men
should be able to get each other but those two men shouldn't be
able to do business with each other in a mutually agreed
relationship. So instead of them having sex, they were actually
just one was signing a check to the other to paint his car, then
you're saying that's not okay. And that you're going to take a
gun and put it to the head of one of them in order to make
that happen? Because you're a totalitarian, huh? Okay. Anyway,
so
that's the thing. That's the opposite of Bill Ayers. Who is
just and I think that is the argument that it's okay for the
government to have all these guns pointing at your head and
you can't have a gun. You can't have a gun. Well,
this is where I get to anything else. I get to tell my story
briefly. I will. I will abbreviate it because it was not
too long ago that we discussed it. When the IRS came into my
place of business, that it was a company that I had co founded.
And I had been out of the United States for over a decade. And my
name showed up on the payroll of my own company. And the IRS
agents came in with their hands on their guns, and said, we've
been looking for you. diver about about taxes. With guns.
Yeah, that was annoying.
Yeah, I know, You've told the story before. It's a disgusting
tale. And I said, you're not a tax as such scammer. You're
straight up on his guy. Well, yeah, you traveled a lot. So you
were in and out of the country, and they lost track of you?
Well, no, I was a bad citizen. Because my tax people in the
Netherlands at the time, did not file appropriate paperwork, I
believe you're in the United States is the only country where
you have to file. Even if you pay taxes in a different
country, which I did. You have to let the government know you
did that. And if you didn't, you are immediately accused of being
guilty and you are penalized as I received a if you if you were
to look at my credit history, which you anyone can do, I
believe it says tax lien $134,000, which was their
calculation just they just calculated it. And they put that
lien on for over a year garnish my wages from my own company,
while I spent 10s of 1000s of dollars proving that I had just
not file the proper paperwork, but had indeed paid all of the
appropriate taxes in the Netherlands and Belgium and in
the United Kingdom. And this this mark on my record does not
go away, I believe until 2017 Even though it says lien
removed. It's still on there. And anyone who looks at my my
credit, and this is all that's on my credit report at this
point. They said like well, you have no credit cards, you don't
have any credit, no car loans and mortgage. But you have this
tax lien that they went away for 100. No, you're no good. I don't
care. Except I did not I was not able to get my hurts gold car
points. Because I signed up for I rented a car. Ajay if you
didn't get your points now because you have to sign up with
a credit card. You can't sign up with a debit card.
Now Tom was to the banks and made him combo cards so it makes
it a little easier. No,
no, it would not work. So does not accept that. I had a
mechanic's bank credit card. And I think I had never used it
maybe once or twice. There's a $2,000 limit as far as I know.
And I use this and they say, Well, no, it's $500. Now so you
can't use this for this car because they have to double up
in case you I don't know steal the car or whatever. And then we
call the bank and the bank of crits a supervisor and they will
can't use look at my I got money in the account. You know, I
didn't know well. We can request the your limit to be raised, but
it will take seven to 10 days. Why don't you do that? Well, I
cut this card in half douchebag
cheese. But anyway. Okay. All right. So anyway, guns, guns,
government has guns, and they have lots of them. And now of
course, there's a big scandal going on nationwide about since
they've armed all these police departments with with military
vehicles and military weaponry. Yeah. Now they're starting to
rethink the policy saying it's getting the public's getting a
little annoyed by this. Lloyd. Really? Yeah. Well, they're not
real. So let's talk about the reunion. Okay.
All right. So a number of characters I need to discuss at
this reunion, of one of which is of course my uncle Don, who has
just released his book, his memoir, pot shards, pot shards
Yes. I'm not crazy about the title. But he was really I read
the introduction that comes to he was he collected shards of
pottery throughout his mainly his his tours in in Asia, in
South Korea and Japan. And it says subtitle fragments of a
life lived in CIA, the White House and the two Koreas.
And you can be people can look him up on the Wikipedia. Well, I
want people to buy this book and I'll tell you why in a minute.
Okay. Oh, no, you must buy it. You really have I must obey.
It's it's released on a D s. T dekorte. deployments and
diplomacy series. This is a publisher who pretty much has no
money, no marketing. No publicists, no connections, but
they know how to get a book printed and
oh, this might be really a good book den. Oh, yeah. Because
apparently none of the big publishers wanted to no one
wants to touch it and it's It's easy to tell you why. However,
he does have some nice
blurbs on the back.
Yeah, well, you can anyone get blurbs. Tim Weiner,
author of our one of our favorite books legacy of ashes,
the history of the CIA. He says Donald Greg's career CIA station
chief United States Ambassador, national security adviser to
George HW Bush, would make a great spy novel. This
autobiography makes an even better book. No American knows
more about North Korea, few have seen the mechanics of the US
intelligence community with greater clarity, essential
reading for anyone who cares about our country and its
foreign policies. And then of course, he has Christopher
Buckley writes abroad blurb of course, Chrissa was married to
his daughter, Lucy, so I That doesn't count. I don't think I
think that was easy to get him. And then the PS Nicholas, do
Mobic staff who story and CIA Center for the Study of
intelligence. And I know that he went through a lot of trouble.
See, of course, the CIA is to vet these kinds of books. And I
think the biggest problem is he wanted to write about his, his
decade in Japan. his two daughters were born in Japan,
but the CIA initially from what I understand, said, You can't
write about Japan at all. But it's not it's not like a big
secret that he was living in Japan.
Was the well they
have no idea what the issue is no idea. Well,
when is this book come out? It's out. It's out. Now. You
can get it on Amazon.
Get it? And I'm on Amazon. Now. I don't see any evidence that
it's here.
Did you look for Donald Greg gr E. G, G. I got it. I have it
from Amazon.
I can't wait me. I just put Don Greg.
You should probably Donald.
Pot charts. Okay, got it.
I get the hardcover. And he actually so I brought mine after
I read it cover to cover and and he and I said Would you please
write something for me? He did. He says to Adam, so glad you
dropped out of Salem College. With cheers and great
admiration. He's all he thinks is great. I drama dropout.
That's pretty cool. She's okay. So,
of course, the book as we speak good.
I had a lot of opportunity to talk to Don and he specifically
wanted to talk to me about a marketing of the book. And I sit
down look. You got a problem? Yeah, I know. The problem is in
your book, and he there's a number of things that are worth
discussing, particularly Iran Contra, which he was he was
implicated in and intimately involved in and got me I think
got screwed for his whatever involvement he had. And he's
he's quite clear about that. But the problem is North Korea and
North Korea, he's very clear, which was the message that we
played when he was on Fareed Zakaria, who, by the way, is not
inviting him back to come talk about his book. Because he went
on CNN, Fareed Zakaria and said, you know, we got to stop this
insanity with North Korea. These people just want to have peace.
They don't want armistice, they want to have peace. They don't
want to be seen as villains. They want to have international
trade, and yet they want to have nuclear facilities if they feel
like it, but they just want to talk. And oh, by the way,
there's some issues with the Japanese. And he's Donna's very
unhappy with eBay and the new military a change in the
Constitution, when of course, there's some issues that haven't
had never been an apology for some of the things the Japanese
have done towards the Koreans, and China. And that's rarely
even brought up.
And I say that by the Chinese and the Koreans.
Yeah, but not here in the United States or in the West has not
discussed that way. And,
and sounds like Don's gone rogue.
Well, this is the problem. And I said, No, this is the problems.
Yeah, I know. There's there's avenues that you can you can
take and we may be able to find somebody and I said no, you
could always try that Glenn Greenwald guy. It didn't even
respond to that man. He's just like, yeah, all right. But this
book you liked the book, I think John a lot. Uncle Don is a top
clever was and still is I think pretty good. You know, he's now
86, top class tennis player, and he's won many, many tournaments
and has played pros throughout his life. And he describes one
game that he played, and with the mag who are with my, my and
his wife, they played doubles against Zbigniew Brzezinski at
one of their one of zbigz of the dinner parties, afternoons. And
Meg and Dawn were much stronger than the big and his wife and
Meg who should write her own book. Look, she whispered to
Dawn like, hey, maybe we should ease up a little bit and Donald
like now screw it, let's beat him and they just creamed him.
And they were never invited back to the big new Brzezinski house
for dinner ever again. But then 20 years later, he's on some
mission with maybe it was, was the big new with when, who was
that was with Carter harder. And, and Don was I think
national counter intelligence officer or some things the
agency at the time? Well, yeah,
we're I think I don't, it's the reading the book, I don't think
he ever gets out of the agency. He just roams around with
different you get different positions as a quote unquote,
civilian in the White House or whatever. And Zbigniew invited
him up and said, Hey, let's play some chess. And Don was, as he
writes in the book playing way above his grade, then he made a
big mistake. Big beat him beat him with the second one. And
then said, it adds makes up for the tennis match. So the big
news, a guy who clearly holds a grudge for a long time anyway,
the
tennis and things like that. Yeah, that guy is a peach, that
that shows what a peach you are. You play a pickup game of
basketball and and or horse and you lose and you hold a grudge
for the rest of your life.
I hate it when I lose it horse. It's very bad. So, so what Don
did say is I've taken you Well, what do you want? And he said,
Well, this is a Don Greg question. So yeah, that's why
I'm asking you what do you really want? So Well, first, I
want the book to be taken seriously why every writer wants
that is it and I'd really just like to be he's gonna do the
Brookings speech at the Brookings Institute on the 23rd
which I'm invited to,
I might have to go to that. Might be kind of cool to be in
the audience of the Brookings Institute.
But he says what he would really like because he does like him.
He would love to be on Morning Joe with zou big and talk about
North Korea as i Okay, I'll mention it on the show. You
never know if there's a producer out there who's gonna say that's
a great idea. And I've actually I think that those two would be
pretty funny together. If if the big new was in studio and not
just on his Skype connection or whatever he is. So you know,
if he'd hire some publicist guy has access to all these Booker's
he would get on a lot of
Chanel but he didn't have these they're retired they don't have
the money to hire a publicist and the and the nor does the
publisher have any money to market this thing? That's that's
the problem with it was we weren't anyone he had a whole
stack of books and we wanted to book had to buy it from they
can't afford to give away hardcover books and you know,
well, you laugh but I don't
like books at the table
almost. But it was it was I found it to be humiliating
because the guy's he's he's one of the most patriotic people I
know who has done incredible things for the United States.
And he's very honest and open about what Hey,
done. You vote for Obama. This is what happened. This is what
you get.
We tune a man that's it as it so the other thing in the book that
didn't want to talk about which, and I got you gotta appreciate
this guy is I think we talked on the previous episode about Felix
Rodriguez, who was involved in Iran Contra. And
he Yeah, so he was and he's also the guy involved in the torture.
Gitmo.
So, so this is Don describes his dealings with with Felix in
Vietnam when he was stationed with mag and is a great I should
have bookmarked it I'll see if I can I'll maybe I'll read that
but that's like one paragraph that's great. They would have a
like a dinner party and it was diplomat as well as station
chief or whatever and they have dinner party, and then Felix
would drop by was still wearing his Flak Jacket smoke coming out
of his hair hand-grenades strapped to his belt, it would
come clunking in like hey, I'm here for the party, who did just
just come from the helicopter from God knows what combat and
they went through a lot of things together. And he was very
loyal to Felix. But I think the mistake that he made in this
whole Iran Contra thing is he introduced Felix to his boss HW
and that somehow made HW it he had no plausible deniability of
not knowing what Oliver North was up to who was really the guy
who was doing a lot of this Iran Contra work. And then he does a
pretty good job of explaining it in the book. But maybe not to
the satisfaction screw up. Yeah, yeah, maybe he's a screw up and
he got screwed over it. That's really what happened. And I
think it's guys like Ollie North who were the eight holes in this
and they do they tried to get away with everything. Anyway,
one other thing I want to mention about the book, it
starts off from the beginning he met my aunt meg a 1951 I Think.
And she was working at CIA to I didn't know that she was in
Russian ops, she speaks Russian. Oh, I didn't know this about my
on make
me go one of these events you find out something new
and it's fabulous. I'm like, Hey, man. Let's talk. So no
wonder everyone's all messed up over Putin over there and in the
family. Everyone's just crazy about Putin. Okay, so but it was
lovely. We had no nice speech. Now Christina is with me, which
is really great. She She flew in from Rotterdam to be here. And
she has no brothers or sisters. And she has one direct cousin.
Patricia's sister, as a daughter. And that's really it.
So Christina has never really felt that she had family. But
now everyone's kind of of age. And a lot of people came from
the other side of the clan. And there must have been 20 kids
between 18 and 30. And they all kind of look the same. And she's
like, Dad, didn't didn't not only do they, we kind of look
alike, but they're all on the spectrum. They're all messed up.
We've all got ticks and Tourette's and depression and
we're all crazy. We're all you know, we were also really fun to
be around and we've got talents. You know, we can play the from
memory classical pieces of music, and everyone has some
kind of superpower, but we're all kind of messed that was a
Yeah, there you go. This is your family. Welcome to it. But that
was nice. It was nice to see her bond with with the family that
she she had never really interacted with. As weird as
that may sound. Oh,
yeah, I heard that.
I heard it too. Sorry. Okay. All right. Two more, two more. Let's
get well one more important thing. Wait. I have one uncle we
have not discussed. Okay, Uncle Ren. Ran. Renwick is his full
name. Okay, we call them Rennie. And Rennie is my dad's brother.
And so he's a couple years older, but he's still the third.
Yeah, the four kids. And so he was almost the younger my dad is
the youngest and Ren was next. And then I hadn't really talked
about him a lot on the show, because I didn't get to sit down
with him. So for such a long time, but I remember why I liked
him so much. He is a certified rocket scientist and worked his
entire life for NASA. And I finally got and by the way, Big
John C. Dvorak fan. And still is out in California. And he's
retired and you know, he flies, you know, Piper Cubs around with
his buddies, and everybody follows everything. And, and he
did him. He's not a ham. No, but he's rising. But he is he is a
certified rocket scientist. And in 1963, he was sending
spacecraft to Mars. Now, he said they weren't. They were they
didn't that we crashed them into Mars, basically. We had an eight
bit transmission line that came back some huge latency, eight
bit. So that was the speed eight bits per second of transmission.
And this still in 63. They were trying to get stuff around Mars,
and they would send you know, like, some No, no video data or
anything like that. But they're sending some some stuff back.
And well, you understand? Of course, I had to start asking a
few questions.
Yeah, like the Israeli moon base?
Well, I asked specifically, I said, you know, do you tell me
about the real Moon bases and you we know that you know, that
that whole initial thing was a hoax. And it's funny to he's
going like, well, they're real really is no evidence that they
landed? I don't really have any evidence of that. It's Wait a
minute. Are you from NASA? Are you really telling me this to
Well, yeah, I'm really I don't have actual evidence that you
know, that we landed and, you know, it was pretty
unsophisticated. I thought it was pretty cool. How, just a few
years before we we were crashing spacecraft into planets to try
and get some data. And then, five years later, these guys had
a thing that that landed like science fiction with four legs
and a lunar near the lunar module is uh, that that was
pretty impressive. And so he's he also was very perturbed about
the erase it erased video of the moon landing that NASA no longer
has an original copy. He also finds it very annoying. But
here's the thing that I found the most interesting. So well,
what do you think of Elon Musk? He says he is the modern day PT
Barnum. Yeah, ah I was Thank you. He said that guy's jabroni
he's a great marketer. He's full of crap is he's he's showing
stuff from the 100 years old and then he's getting people to fund
it and PT Barnum, very good at marketing. Nothing else. I
thought that's pretty cool. That's my uncle Ren that the
official rocker is an interesting guy. Absolutely. So
we'll get more from
meet up with him if he's in the area. Oh, he probably listened
to the show.
You will be surprised and listen to the show. You'd be surprised
how many people a lot of people are listening to this very
episode. You can trust that. So be careful. Okay.
Well, here's the question that I've thought this is where I
would hope you had gone and I'm going to ask you if you did,
which is you go to your aunt, and, and begin to ask her about
Putin because she understands Russian and she probably follows
this still. She wouldn't people tend to it's not like you know,
you get into some like a Russian analysis, you probably would
stay with it just as a hobby.
You have to understand, Meg, she is not someone who will answer a
question directly. She will come to you later, and give you kind
of like a wink wink nudge nudge. And that's what I was waiting
for. Because I did open up the conversation about Putin. Yeah.
And she she gave me kind of well, it's so hard to explain
unless you've met them and she's she's six one you know, as a
statuesque woman and Ambassador, wife just give everything but
also it complete in the know of everything. And it has learned
to not say anything. But she typically would give me
something wink wink nudge nudge somewhere, but that did not
happen. I think I have to return. And I'm always very
welcome to return of course, to get more information. And what
was lovely is Mickey had arranged for a 50th birthday
cake to be presented right after the dinner. Which everyone
enjoyed eating. And I felt like an old man I was that guy now?
Yeah, I was that guy now. Hey, he's turning 50 Oh, oh, that's
for me.
And it's some of his cake. Yeah.
And mixing abroad Reagan
I'm sorry, I missed some of that.
I said I'm mixing up Rodriguez with with the newer guy whose
name I think is also Rodriguez. Yeah,
I'm pretty sure he didn't mix up Rodriguez. Cuz he's not he did
not he did not do the torture, in fact, is a
no, no, that's closed out this this but this new guy similar.
There's,
there's quite a bit about torture in the book. Yeah. And
when Don specifically disregarded orders, and could
have ruined his career, but felt it was better for what he was
doing at the time. He this is a good guy, you know, navy, not
everything he did was would we would do today. But if you can,
I think as someone who in Washington DC during the Cuban
Missile Crisis, with his neighbors, scoped out where they
would hide in the basement. Because people really believe
that was going to happen. And it's quite possible it was close
to happening that the Russian missiles or nuclear holocaust
would would ensue. And he writes about one evening coming home
driving over the beltway, and he was kind of one of those little
hills, you go up and he saw a spark in the middle of DC. And
he realized later was probably a train hitting a third rail or
some electrical spark from a train. And he at that moment had
this it started you know, they have they have they bombed
Washington DC, can you imagine? It wouldn't be fun. So that fear
was real and people responded in in certain ways back then.
You didn't get any intelligence though.
Nothing I could have mentioned on the show.
Well, I wouldn't hopefully, maybe, maybe we'll be listening
and she could listen to this clip. Which is the Russians
coming to Ukraine? What I believe is a bogus story of that
was on van cat.
Okay.
You see what you have? Yeah, got it. Yeah,
did you in fact, let me set it up. Okay. As you listen to this
story, ask yourself did Putin denies this ever happen? By the
way, when he may or may not be writing it Putin may lie. But
ask yourself why nobody in this modern era. And I think you have
to ask this with all stories. If you're a boots on the ground or
anything else and you're watching something, why aren't
you making a video transcription
support attentions continued?
I'm sorry, you want me to stop here?
I was gonna say everybody has one of these in their pocket.
Cross Border tensions continue to mount Ukraine says its troops
destroyed part of a Russian column of armor. vehicles that
had crept across the border.
Along the way this column was followed, our reconnaissance
forces had it under surveillance.
appropriate action was taken when you get part of it has been
neutralized. These
NATO backed reports of what it called a Russian incursion is
verrine. In an area controlled by pro Russian separatists,
Moscow has denied the accusation. Correspondent Shaun
Walker told France then cacti witnessed Russian personnel
carriers entering Ukraine on Thursday night,
in column of about 23 armored vehicles also was accompanied by
support vehicles, which had the official Russian military number
plates. And they waited by the side of the road close to the
border until they got and then they crossed over the border and
into Ukraine that we actually saw that happening.
There's no YouTube video we can look at.
There's nothing I mean, I haven't seen anything and these
guys didn't show anything. But they were watching and watching
and then that happened and nobody bothered to make a
recording of it or share it.
No, why bother? Yeah, this is this is very disturbing. The
lack of evidence in any form whatsoever now, and you tweeted
something which I ordinal you you responded to a tweet from
our ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Powers. And you
put that in the newsletter appropriately so. And she's also
just saying stuff which is no and not even photographic
evidence at this point about ISIS ISIL
Well, another thing that's the fact let's look at that tweet. I
had it in a newsletter I think it's probably still on Twitter.
And we get it and I did make a comment I was the first to
comment on it
Yes. Which was kind of cool to see what the top of the list and
notice she noticed she didn't return and the courtesy
No of course not what was she said anything to a schmuck like
me. I mean, you know she doesn't actually answer he's not a very
good tweeter because she doesn't she never she doesn't get into
dialogues and Twitter Twitter's largely about dialogue. How and
so
is she are these people tone deaf? Do they tweet this out and
not see that the majority of the tweets or either saying oh yeah,
like you're not funding ISIS ISIL whatever you want to call
it advertise
the all the responses to this tweet. I'm going to read the
tweet all the responses to this tweet, I believe 90% of them are
negative and she doesn't respond to any of them any of them one
way or the other. Jones gonna read his tweets so Samantha
Power tweets met a bishop today who described ISIL attack on
mozal hospital both those are hashtag Christian who wouldn't
convert shot in head to who did convert had throat slit okay now
this is just doesn't sound right under any circumstances because
the ones that convert
then you're supposed to not have your throat slit you get to live
Yeah,
that would be the idea and of course the Christians generally
as we had in the clip of the last show are allowed to have a
choice of converting or paying taxes paying money by bribe
right right yeah and that which is a very common most extreme of
Muslim cults allow this because it's part of the the culture I
immediately responded shameful gossip designed to escalate
violence where's the evidence photos reports Cal Dean or what
sort of Christian and by the way, I was mispronouncing Cal
Dean as Canadian I think in the last show and somebody called me
out on it anyway and and Cal Dean's would be the Christians
generally over there. And then it goes on with other people
bitching it was a US helps ISIL in Syria everybody knows that
don't you think that that's a wrong position? I mean, just a
moral behavior on our fellow humans cannot and must not ever
be condoned idiot. Please advise your government to use his
military power to defeat the caliphate using all means as
I liked a lot of that whenever whenever they come back to that
it's just the caliphate and we have another no
longer shocked. It's no longer shock to all dirty politics is
what you can only do I guess showing dead people on TV will
be the next move. Right? What do you think these murderers Neo
Nazis you're sponsoring in the Ukraine with my tax money are
doing?
Yeah, that's it. That was a good one. I like that one.
That was good. Yeah. Okay. And then the Assyrian genocide
tweets in. Ninh Bazi. ISIS is massacring the Assyrians please
acknowledge that. And then it goes on and on with these these
I'm not we can't be that she doesn't respond to one of them.
Now, of course. I actually doubt that she even does does.
He just did herself? Exactly. So I have two clips. I have two
clips that relate to this as the this is part of the setup. This
is just, it is just being propagated to bring up a story,
whatever we do, let's not talk about the Big Oil and Gas
conference coming up September one through four. Let's not talk
about how beautiful the city of Erbil is, how modern it is, how
all the headquarters of Western oil companies are there. How one
of the two major refineries, is there, how the Kurdish oil has
been refined and blown up to the pipelines out to Turkey from all
around there. Don did say one thing he said, Adam, I know
you've been in Iraq. I've never been in Iraq, but I have been
around enough to know, this never made any sense that that
region is not Iraq. It's not a country of nice to hear him say
that. It's not a country. It's tribes. And now we're finally
seeing the way it should be. Which is like oops, okay. Here
is NBC promoting the religious meme. Apparently they found some
Yazidis in Lincoln, Nebraska, who are getting up to date
information on this horrible atrocity hands up don't shoot
we're Yazidis
the humanitarian crisis plays out in northern Iraq claims
tonight of another massacre by ISIS militants, reports that 80
members of a minority is ed community were killed in a
village in that region.
Why don't we have video they've got videos of them shooting up
Call of Duty tanks. What is it to trucks and they have video of
that and they have videos dropping food and water and we
have video of helicopter helicopters going down. But do
we don't have video of this? It was
fears of such attacks that drove 1000s of Yazidis onto a mountain
in northern Iraq, and prompted this week's us bombing campaign.
And all of this has people here in this country's biggest Yazidi
community. It's both crap and edge at a
bucolic Park in Lincoln, Nebraska. The stories and the
tears pour out everyone has had family members murdered by ISIS
terrorists or are still missing. They don't
know if they still in life or they kill them. Notice what's
known as the setup to that. So the setup is everyone has
someone murdered or they know who's been murdered, and then
the appropriate soundbite would be my uncle was murdered that's
not the soundbite that comes back though. This is This is
horrible journalism this terrorists
are are still missing they don't know if
they still in life or they killed in
Las came to the USA months ago with his family when he called
his brother in Iraq a member of ISIS answered love this hello
I'm sorry I'm sorry to make a joke about this but that that's
crazy that's like when you call home and you expect your your
wife to answer like
we had her we got her
and then I remember I said answered the cell phone or you
know what happened there? Hello?
Is it ISIS? We have you we have your brother
when he called his brother in Iraq a member of ISIS answered
they tell you who they are
you the if not even somebody's not coming to the Congo to the
Muslims. We're gonna kill them Julie escaped
another also where he didn't I want to do this. I want to hear
what they said. He said you know who they are? And he said yeah,
if you don't convert, they'll kill you. But she's just reading
a script that has no bearing on what he's saying. Or any of
these people are saying
this is a bunch of bull crap says NBC coming to the
back a little bit I thought that was very interesting. Did
they tell you who they are?
Here they are. If not even somebody's not coming to the
Congo to the Muslims. We're going to kill them.
She's saying something very different and he's not agreeing.
He's saying if you don't convert to Muslims, we're gonna end it
could be it could be any kind of quote, he could be talking about
what some crazy Islamist this do. Not necessarily what
happened to him or his brother, but okay, we'll believe this
hack job. Julie escaped a refugee camp. She's sexy. Here's
a school teacher. And she's good luck and she got sleeveless
thing on
during the first school for and is now a fourth grade teacher in
Lincoln. Her uncle sent video of the school where he lives with
700 others who escaped off Mount Sinjar.
Cue a video of children running in sand and he tells her
horrifying
stories About a market run by ISIS there, there's
no video from the uncle talking about it. But here she is
selling Yezidi women's
and Tila for market right now. For about couple of dollars,
they are selling Yazidi women in the market.
Oh for other.
I know I shouldn't be laughing because that's what I that's
when people start you a Oh Kershaw.
You're Brown.
They're selling seriously. A couple of dollars. What is it,
Jip? How can it be only a couple of dollars these are the ices
guys who are writing multimillion dollar tanks.
They've got the sitting on top of rockets, that costs at least
a million bucks each to drive it around, which they found got
$400 million that they found. And yet they selling women in
the market for a couple of dollars. If you can, I have to
believe one or the other. I can't it doesn't all fit
together for me
since they're they're settling yesterday, women's and Tila for
market right now. For about a couple of dollars,
about 700 US cities now live in Nebraska, the largest population
in the US are sitting. I got two boys they born here. But family
and faith tie them to the tragedy still unfolding more
than 6000 miles away. Okay.
So we'll just go along with your game, please, again, say nothing
about the what's actually going on with the resource, the
extractives as our main carrier would call them. That's not
mentioned any of that or anything that's going on with
the oil business or really splitting up Iraq or rob
realizing the whole place as as is what really the plan is. And
now we have, I guess because State Department is so lame. And
what's that?
Is to US cities. Are you at celebrate?
Are you playing clips now?
No, I went to YouTube. I was looking at the US city is city
Holy Day celebrations. I'm just the group is in Lincoln,
Nebraska. Yeah. And there's a chunk of them, I guess. And
there's one here. They're wearing Arab outfits, at least
in this live chat room.
Chat room saying this is good for Bitcoin. Because if you see
the woman only cost a couple bucks. They should be accepting
bitcoin for
documentary by Esther spate following the peacock, please.
And it's about the Hokie. I had to look into this a little more.
It's, it's very sketchy. The cities are a sub segment of the
Muslims to begin with, we get this very apparent. And most of
this is I don't know what they're trying to pull here on
us. But it's something Well, there's a number, it's a
distraction. It's totally a distraction to distract you from
any of that. I want to mention this the beginning of that
report, which says that the reason for the bombing that we
took, that the Americans did, it was triggered by the cities up
in the mountains when it's clear that that that wasn't, it wasn't
triggered by that at all. It was to protect the American interest
in that town.
And we're not talking about that anymore. That's how we do it
now. So we now we had this a Sergeant at Arms master,
whatever his name is Kirby, who was the spokesman for the
Pentagon. This is starting to get interesting. Because what if
you have a person and Josh Earnest for the White House,
this guy, he needs to go he has no presence. He has no voice.
He's nothing. So Kirby is kind of a guy to watch he he's the
spokesman for the Department of Defense. Although he's messing
he can't figure out ISIS ISIL he doesn't know what to do there
either. No one has got the branding down. I don't know why
they can't just everyone's worried that the public for some
reason won't understand. We tried ISIL and then we went try
to make it easy with is, but the news networks are too dumb. They
keep saying ISIS and no one wants to get with the program.
But we if you have a guy from the Pentagon, what do you want?
You do want some like language? Like do you want people to say
we're going to kick their ass which clearly, Marie Harf she
never could come out and say, Yeah, our our mission is to
destroy ISIS to decimate them to get rid of them. Don't you want
a guy from the Pentagon to say something like that?
I would think so. And I want to just say it just as a quick
aside, Marie Harf. I was going to the tweets. She does a Follow
Friday.
Oh my god, and who are we on her list?
Hashtag F F. Now some Iraqi guys she put on their Follow Friday
anyway I'm sorry go on. Yeah, no, you want some guy that
sounds tough. You talked about
the threat that you're seeing to Erbil now after like six or
seven days now of strikes is the threat as pressing as it was
when all these strikes began.
We think that we've had a disruptive effect on isas isI
ELLs ability to threaten or be ill, but we don't believe that
it's been completely eliminated. It's difficult to know what
their intent is. Exactly with respect to Erbil. So we're
watching it very closely. We have as you know, we have a
joint operation center there, and we have a consulate there,
we have responsibilities to American citizens and
facilities, and we're not going to let go on that. But it's, I
can't give you I mean, what I would tell you is we we still
believe that Erbil faces threats from ISIL it's just unclear
exactly what their full intent is. And that's point 1.2. We
know we've disrupted their ability to threaten ISIL we
certainly put a hurtin on him with respect to
we put a hurtin on him, John, we can't
have somebody heard nominal voice that is actually had his
voice change. You know, through puberty,
we put a hurtin on a man, we put a hurtin on him,
their activities in and around Erbil, and we'll continue to do
that as needed.
We'll bring the hurt. We put a hurtin on them. What kind of
talk is this? And they so desperately want to be the
badass guys, but then they do. We'll put the hurt on him. We
haven't quite gotten rid of them, but we'll put the hurt on
them.
Yeah, I get it. I mean, I think our original thesis This is an
American operation, the whole ISIS ISIL thing. Yeah. Maybe
looks more and more correct as time goes by?
Absolutely. It is. It's leftovers from Syria, leftovers
from Libya passed on through all all the stuff, our weapons, they
look at their uniforms, great uniforms that they got.
Right and that Oakland Raiders flag that they got.
Exactly. Well, anyway, John, here from FEMA Region two, I
want to thank you for your courage and say in the morning
to you John C. Dvorak.
Well, and it's about time I had to say in the morning because I
want to say in the morning to you Adam curry in the morning

I'll waive sales tax and make other people just pump your gas
in Oregon to make this easier.
Bingo, boom, boom, boom.
You've got karma.
Children. So in Oregon, you can't pump your own gas. It's
illegal. And so they have the additional they employ people to
pump gas like they used to be in the olden days. And there's no
sales tax in Oregon. So it creates a very interesting
situation on the border. Because in Washington state there's no
personal income tax. Right in Oregon. There's personal income
tax but no sales tax. How confusing so the smart money
lives a crop up in Washington on the border and get gas in
Oregon. And no, they buy stuff in Oregon because there's no
sales tax. Right. Okay. So you buy your cars, furniture,
groceries, so whatever you want, what I
would do is I would have I would, what's the what's the
main road people travel on between the two sides five, the
five, I would have a thin wire would decapitate anyone crossing
the road with their goods?
Well, they want to put they want to start charging $100 or
something toll people that do this, which is not gonna go over
it because people do have to go there for other reasons just to
buy groceries. It's a minor. And of course, you know, the
Oregonians are of the sort they actually live on their side of
the border and shop in Washington. Okay. There's only
people in Washington think that's funny. Yeah. Anyway,
okay. I clearly didn't order it. Yeah, no, it's very funny. Chris

six. I know a lot of people do 12345. Right. Let's just six.

you need that, too. We can say yes, indeed, this person was an
executive producer or Associate Executive Producer of the best
podcast in the universe.
org slash n a.
And of course, we always need you to go out there and do the
important work of propagating the formula.
Our formula is this we go out we get people in the mouth
very nice. Let's see we have this very difficult of course
for me to do the type of preparation that I usually like
to bring to the table for the reasons just purely for travel
and yeah, it's an inconvenience.
It's somewhat of an inconvenience. Yeah, but
you're the inconvenience is the travel time. You take you have
to go to the airport that way. Let's say you went to the
airport. Oh, I forgot to mention yes airport stories too, because
I went to Canada.
Well, I'll tell you my Well, why don't you tell your your Canada
Navia story. Maybe I can lead in maybe I can lead,
TSA opt out, whatever it's called in out and the other one
opted out. I didn't opt out. I didn't have to because I had pre
geometry check on both ways.
You got that you are part of the randomly chosen because you are
not an actual Trusted Traveler. You have not gone through The
security check and had your fingerprints taken and an
interview about hair bands from the 80s. Like I had, you have
not done this know, yet you you received a pre check as if you
are a trusted traveler. Yeah, both ways. And you should
certainly be excluded from any Trusted Traveler because you're
a troublemaker.
Well, I think people could say that, whatever the case is, I
had it anyway. So I go to the pre check and the way out. The
pre check line is now getting to be a joke is really long. And so
the way out, I counted, we had 30 People in the pre check line,
and 18 people in the regular line. And the pre check line was
a bottleneck because all went through the one thing and there
was a guy screaming at everybody. And it's kind of
ironic, because of this, what they were screaming, don't take
off your belt.
Yeah, stop, take off your shoes. Don't just get your kids
people going to the line and looking for those bins. There's
no bins,
little circular bin for your wallet. No, they
didn't have that. You keep that in your pocket. Anything I well
as I put this and put your wallet in your, in your
suitcase, or put your wallet in your baggage. They were yelling,
everybody. Wow, it's fallen in your baggage. But you're just do
not take off your shoes, do not take off your belt, do not take
out the computer, do not take out the computer with slowing
things down because people were trying to take up the computer
is your pre check your trust and travelers kind of not really did
the lottery.
Meanwhile, the other line was short. And that you could have
gotten probably through faster. On the way back I had to say
through Seattle, that was not the case. The lines were he hit
the wrong hour or something and the lines were extremely long
and the precheck probably saved me 1520 minutes. Okay, right.
But it was like the pre check thing was kind of a confused
mess. And Seattle and Oakland is pretty straightforward. They got
a big line and big arrows you know where to go?
Well, first of all, this is just an outright This is a money
scam. Oh yeah. As you know, I traveled for the first time as a
trusted traveler, as I have become a member of the trusted
traveler program known as global entry which qualifies you for
pre chatter check, which I did to to facilitate and help my
wife and be able to accompany her so she's no longer put in
the fish tank every time she tries to enter the country
legally with a resident aliens card valid, which has some flag
and next to her name and and even though she while she
obviously looks like a total terrorist, they have to take her
aside and make a joke. And they've always said well, if you
do Global Entry, this won't happen anymore. So we will see
upon our return from from Amsterdam in September. Oh, it'd
be a breeze you go right through. Well, and of course we
are paying
you know why? You know why? You're playing by the rules.
Rule follower, if there's a rule. Follow it. So we each paid
$140 to pay for the privilege of driving to Houston. Which is
it's more than just a day trip. Really if you if you unless you
want to drive up and down and be nuts and
interested. Sorry, nothing. Nothing. I just said nasty thing
about Houston. Alright.
And as we discuss on the show, the interview consisted of I
didn't even have to prove my address. Sorry, driver's
license, which has an old address on it. Show your
passport. Okay. Put your fingers on here. Good. Hey, hey, hey.
It's the interview portion. Did you know Robert Plant Do you
hang out with him in Austin? Hey, man, do you know Rudy sarzo
This guy and he played with blue as a cult doesn't it? Yeah, also
with Whitesnake and do and I miss deal. Yeah, I miss him too.
That was my interview. And I will remind you that Mickey had
a different to interviewer and because of her resident alien
status green card, it came up said well you will receive an
email if you're approved or not. And my guy went that of course
he's always bullcrap it's approved. It's just delayed for
a minute or two you and of course it came through approved.
So I was precheck with the first time and I fly I flew on JetBlue
with even more room JetBlue JetBlue JetBlue
Boston. Yeah,

JetBlue was an airline.
There. Okay.
I got TV. Live TV.
Yeah, you know what that Southwest has got this new scam.
I think this is genius. They have free Wi Fi that streams
DISH Network to your laptop. Great. It saves on all those
screens. Really?
Well I didn't have any of that and actually wound up just
finishing Don's book on the plane. I but I but I was early
flight and was very busy. Austin Bergstrom so even 615 flights so
very, very early in the morning and I dyed the pre check and I
go right up to the front of the line and straight through and
instead and I ticket pre check and I was actual pre check, not
some lottery. I had done the test I had passed the test I
answered all the questions about Ronnie James Dio correctly. I
was a trusted traveler. I did have to take my belt off which
consisted of some studs. And I put that in the very right no
bins round circular bin. Now I am still traveling the way I've
been traveling for many moons when I traveled with the studio,
I have to carry on to have a laptop bag to
to anyone in their right mind looking at this mess. rat's nest
of wires. And let me explain
what I have with me. I had multiple laptops, tablets, I had
my Wi Fi device, I had my Nokia E 71. Cell phone in case I
needed to actually have a conversation with someone in New
York and had my my Icom ID 31. A so I have a transmitting device
with a you know, which could be used to activate an IED easily.
That's what that's what you would expect to use. It had the
antenna screwed on right there. So it looked like a walkie
talkie with a wish you could also maybe I don't know disrupt
air traffic, I did have my license with me in case I need
to show that I had the over the shoulder bag which consists of a
long metallic round object cylindrical and form, which has
always been taken out by everyone. Which is the
microphone which I'm currently using many wires, multiple
boxes, computer like devices, pieces of wood, that prop up the
iPad, this thing it is a it is an obvious red flag.
I would say yes to that.
And the operator didn't barely even look at the screen. I have
stood for many a time watching them make it blue, red, green,
look at all the different contours. What is this? And then
still put it through again? And then say, well, now we put it
through again, we've looked at it in red, yellow and green. We
got to open this up. We got to swab it. We got to swab you. But
no flies right through no problem. Because I'm a trusted
traveler. And but I could have been a trusted traveler on the
lottery, which means I would not I'm not trusted at all like you
a troublemaker could happen.
Give me a trusted terrorist.
So this is an outrage. They have taken $280 of our money.
Yeah, well, this is not yes. But in your case, it's really more
for Mickey's benefit. You don't really care one way or the
other. And no one and you're now then this is actually you spent
$280 which is outrageously high. You spent $280 of your hard
earned cash. And you have only done this as an experiment for
the listeners of the no agenda show for your return from
Europe. Correct? Yeah, so it's actually a
write off. And Christina is with me and she is always egging me
on to get a tattoo. Why? Because she wants her dad to have a
tattoo. And she has a lot of them. She's very into the into
the ink these kids today. They're like the ink ink. And
I'm thinking I should get on my arm on my my bicep Trusted
Traveler. Trusted, trusted citizen. How about that? Trusted
citizen trusted citizen. I think that would be really good.
I have advice for people that think want to get a tattoo some
people do like him. Some people don't. My advice is you get a
hand tattoo, a fake tattoo one of the permanent semi permanent
ones that lasts for a couple of weeks first and live with it.
See if you don't want like a good idea. Because what happens
is you hey, I went to a party once where they had they were
giving you these fake tattoos. Yeah. And everyone was getting
when I had up
what what party? Was this? The title? This is a great idea
party somewhere. Oh, Facebook party, Myspace.
Myspace was pre Facebook. Oh, I had sorry, the geo cities
party?
I don't know. I don't know what that is. Okay. Anyway, so I went
to this party and I had a panther tattooed to my forearm
and you know it was It looks like a real tattoo and they said
and done if they do it right and so again they had a slew you put
pickle kind of skulls you put all kinds of cool stuff on Yeah.
Oh, cool. And so for me I had I was stuck there for about a
state for about a week and a half before it finally started
to flake off and I didn't like it. Because I'd wake up in the
morning and look in my arm and I jumped thing was some huge bug
or something crawling on me is just disturbing. I am not a
person for the for the tattoo. Well, I think my recommendation
if people want to try it out, I
think design On this says trusted citizen with a barcode,
obviously.
Oh yeah. And it shouldn't be barcodes should be or it could
be one of those one of those square barcode QR code does a QR
QR sends you to the no agenda website.
Exactly. QR code I like it was a one of the developers that I'm
working on the ham stuff with his we're talking about some
stuff with QR codes on ham. Very interesting idea.
Well, that would be interesting. And now I want to make one more
last dang note about the trip. Yeah, we're at a coffee place
getting some coffee and we cashed in money to get some
change. And one of the bills that came back was the was a
Canadian plastic $10 bill. And I realized because I have somebody
sent me a plastic $5 Bill these bills by the way, you don't even
know I had the tell me that it was plastic. That's how well
done they are now even though half of his like it's obviously
plastic. I don't know how much these bills are used if they're,
but they seem to, I believe. I think that they seem to look and
act newer, like new bills longer than a paper bill. And it's
possible I don't know. I'm going to look into this as some
candidate aliens may be able to tell me they may be able to keep
them in circulation longer, thus paying the extra expense of
these plastic belts because these can't be cheap domain.
What denomination are they? Well, though, so
far, I've seen five and 10 but I think they're all denominations.
I think they've all gone to all plastic.
I think it's just easier to snore your coke with. Isn't that
what it's for simply just so they don't stick to the inside
and it just erodes the Rowling's?
Yeah, it definitely will. Yeah, that's a possibility that the
little crystals won't stay on to build
little crystals. This flavor crystals in them.
They're probably more sanitary. If you had to lick the bill.
I got an email about your Indians in Canada Navia
question. Oh, I have
the same email. You may read it from Peter O'Rourke. No, I got
it. I got another one from Karthik. Let's
compare. Okay, Peter. org. And this is your question why there
are so many Indians in Canada. Peter org says in the late 70s
and early 80s. And certainly during the Reagan
administration, a call went out from the US for foreign
physicians to fill less than glamorous jobs in the medical
field like state mental health institutions and the like. These
jobs were filled and this created a toehold for Indians on
the continent. Before this Indian immigration had been
light with only around 2000 or so in the 1900 census. Excuse
me, seeing the success of their Indian counterparts. A wave of
immigration ensued. The reason there are so many Indians in
Canada is that after a residency in Canada of five years entrance
to the US is almost guaranteed. This is the goal of many of the
candidate Navion Indians, and he says he got this information
from an Indian friend.
Interesting. Well, that's a lot different than my letter. No,
this is what we like. Now, Karthik vs. Who is I believe of
some heritage. This is regarding John's comments about Indian
people in Canada. I believe what John heard on the radio was not
Hindu. It's Hindi by the way, but so I had to remember that it
was probably Punjabi. There is a large Sikh population in BC that
moved there after the 1984 Anti Sikh riots in India. Okay, this
is a long story, but they happened because some Sikh
bodyguards assassinated the then pm Indira Gandhi. According to
the Statistics Canada, there are about 450,705 Punjabi people
living in Canada out of the 182 915 And out of that
182,000 915 live in BC. According to the affiliation of
multicultural societies and services agencies of BC Punjabi
remains the most commonly spoken immigrant non official language
spoken in the country followed by Cantonese Canada's still
remains very popular place for Punjabi people to emigrate,
because they have friends and family there but you will not
see them all over the country because they prefer to live in
certain cities like Surrey, Brampton, on Surrey BC,
Brampton, Ontario and a few other places just in case you
are wondering I'm still a boater and soon to be a donor. I am a
grad student at the University of Waterloo. I have a job soon
enough I'll be donating anyway.
Well, my name at least this
will stop. My note came
from a donor so I you know,
well my note came from someone named Karthik and I believe that
this is an accurate depiction of what I was experiencing and I
probably they were Sikhs because they all had turbans point very
good
point. Well, let's see what this will beget some more feedback on
Short it always does john@curry.com Everybody send it
to him. I have two, two clips for you now John from the agenda
21 category.
The sciences.
Big, big, big, really big shoe coming up here in New York City,
the 20 I believe the 23rd of September, we have yet another
gathering of climate scientists. And Al Gore, of course, is a I
think he's a then you start something with a global warming
thing a while back?
I don't know, I never heard of him turn
into the lead, like the climate change thing. And he has now
engaged one of the apparently few, actually one of the many.
We know now that almost no. PR companies will work with climate
deniers climate change deniers. So he's working with WPP if
you're gonna go for big, you have Omnicom WPP. And I think
that's about it. Yeah, that's it. That's it. So they own
everything. And he has come out, they've come up with a new
campaign, which is really puts you citizen, you young citizen
squarely in the driver's seat. And this is a video that he did
that he has created with them. And I'm sure that this campaign
is probably they're probably getting, I would say three to 5
million. You think of just a basic Gore campaign for climate
stuff. That would be a three to $5 million, 5 million. Yeah, you
think it's 5 million direct Billings? Or does that include
media buy? Or do they do a media buy a separate above and beyond
that? Or is it going to be advanced
against media by then but these are won't be media buys. These
will be public service announcements, so they don't get
a media by
angle. But they did create a website and and put
up that cost money at
million dollars. Here we go. People today have the most to
lose from climate change. And yet haven't had a lot of say in
the matter.
Is this true? Do you see that young people have the most to
lose from climate change?
What are they going to lose?
Change.
It's time that changed. While all the leaders of the world
will be gathering at the United Nations Climate Summit in New
York on September 23. The people with the most to lose from the
decisions that are made young people like you won't be at the
discussion table.
I thought the Chinese or the JAD that Africans I thought they
were going to lose because we're smoking them out. And then you
climate credits and money and I'm a little confused by this.
But you can change all that. Visit ask why why not.or?
What? Someone that hey, l Mr. Gore, we have we have a great
idea for campaign. Okay. Are you ready? Are you ready for this
idea? You ask why? Why not?
Am I gonna ask why?
Why not? Why not? And we got it. We already have the URL
registered for you, Mr. Gore, ask why why not.org?
Okay, if you say so.
You can go ahead.
You're the experts
and be the voice of your generation, and challenge the
likes of President Obama, Chancellor Merkel and President
Xi Jinping of China.
We tried to get to Justin Timberlake and we tried to get
Taylor Swift. But we think that young kids will settle for
Angular Merkel. That's why we have the website ask why why
not.org
on their climate policies when they attend the UN Climate
Summit. If you have ever asked why the planet is in the mess of
sin, it didn't let me ask you this. Why not do something about
Ah, that's the tagline. I got it. So here's I end the video,
mister. If you ever asked her why the planet is in such a
mess. It is Superstorm Sandy, my friend. What are you questioning
that? You deny? Are you questioning the what that was?
Are you questioning or was that anyway?
Do you live in California? Are you questioning the drought? I
find it is so fascinating. That in the one state where we have a
certified drought, people are doubting themselves with ice
water buckets. It's very, very, very interesting development we
have there in Silicon Valley. You
know, that's actually I never well, because do you we don't
take the drought seriously, because we have these droughts
before. And um, let me tell you something. There's been real
droughts here. This is yeah, this is a drought of sorts.
Sure. We've had droughts to the point where Marin County had to
have a pipeline dragged across through San remission, the Santa
refill bridge, there was a pipeline across that bridge to
get water to Marin County. That's how bad it was. We don't
have a pipeline at this point. So it can't be that bad. So it
can't be that bad. I've always this you know, this is my
indicator. How long ago was this? This pipeline? This is
about 15 years ago, maybe 20.
Did we Why do we have global warming them?
Well apparently well that's hard to say I have no idea that we
have global warming estimate
whatever the case well yes whatever the
case I find I think you hit something here these guys are
just been waste
waste mocking mocking mocking
and global warming by dousing themselves with this ice water i
You're answering to me when I asked what I said what is this
bullcrap? These guys are dumping ice water. I mean, maybe you
should explain what's going on because your answer to me was
priceless.
This is a an initiative that you mean that the answer on email
with these guys, and then you said
this is the it's to raise awareness for Lou Gehrig's
disease ALS. And for some reason that started with Silicon Valley
CEOs a dousing themselves with ice water and even more odd is
either you donate or you douse and then what happens is you you
douse but of course he's really going to donate I'm not sure
what how that works that something went strangely wrong
with the messaging there. But yeah, so so we have Tim Cook,
and Zuckerberg and a whole bunch of people doing this and then
you said What is with this and I think my answer was a gay
Illuminati cult thing was that my was that my answer?
Yeah, Illuminati cult rights
and your problem citizen
that's what it is.
He does he does himself but this just a guy this is under the
guise.
But really, it's a gay alarm, gay Illuminati, rite of passage,
very nice.
Whatever the case there dousing themselves with a bucket of ice
where then they give anyway and then they call out somebody
else. And I think Zuckerberg called out Larry Ellison and
Bill Gates. Douse Dallas or donate. And then now they have
to. Yeah, I think that's what that gets to me. They don't have
to do anything.
I think they should make him eat.
They have to take me to be living in I don't
know. It's a stupid
it's extremely stupid. pedo
I like to write checks to people who I want to help
and not is not helping anything. It's just you know, it's caught
on it's kind of a meme I guess. But you know, versus cystic
thing these guys are showing Yeah, this is very very you
know, hey, look at me I'm doubting myself with water I'm
on video. Take a look. Look at it is a
tipping point, John in the international health crisis
known as the social media selfie movement. This is this is this
is the tipping point. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Oh,
we didn't catch it. Let's do it over. So we're gonna get the ice
really just flowing down. I'm sure there's do overs on this
thing too. Yeah. I had a lot of people agreeing with me at the
reunion about this international health crisis the selfie
movement take Retake, retake. Take it again. I my eyes closed.
Oh, I wasn't laughing Oh, the shadow wasn't right. Oh, let's
Okay, good. I've got a crop rotate. Filter post. How come he
didn't like it? That he hasn't liked it yet? He probably hates
me. Oh my gosh, this is not good. Alright, John Kev,
watermelon head Kerry is all over a helping head gore. And
Kerry, of course is writing his own script as usual. Regarding
the global warming's taking place, and I thought it was
necessary to share his means of communicating to the young kids
or even the older kids, what is happening and then something
needs to be done about it. And of course, it's fact all of
us in this room understand. Climate change is not a crisis
of the future. Climate change is here now. It's already happening
happening all over the
world all over the world. John, John John is turned into the
Wookiee what what that's priceless John, it's happening
all it's happening all over the world. It's
changes here now. It's happening happening all over the world.
This guy's this guy is priceless.
It's not a challenge that's somehow remote and that people
can grab onto
No, it's like a life raft. You can you can grab on or you can
grab on to the crisis that's happening now. What's happening
is
the science.
Oh, yes. It's science leads in science. Science is happening.
John. Listen Very close. It's important you hear what he's
saying listening. What did he just say? The science? No,
that's not what he said. You're not listening. You're playing
harmonica.
What'd he say?
What is happening is science. Yeah, no, it's not. So it's
climate change. Maybe global warming is not science.
No, it's fine. What's happening is the science,
the science. The science is happening. The science is
happening is screaming at us is screaming at us. The science
just Don't you hear the science? Ask any kid in school they will
hold on Ask any kid in school then you can ask any kid at
school? Yeah, we don't need sign watching
Science screaming at you, kid. Yeah, any
kid school they understand what a greenhouse is, how
it's how it works. They understand how greenhouse works,
to grow plants to create global warming from evil so
kids know
what to grow pot. That's what a greenhouse is for?
Why we call it the greenhouse effect. They get it by 10.
Here's what if you accept the science?
Yes, I accept. I accept. John, do you accept the science? I
accept the signs?
If you accept that the science is causing climate change was
causing climate change. I thought it was carbon dioxide
was the science is causing climate
change. Climate change,
if you accept that the science is causing climate to change,
that's what he said. Carbon dioxide that was caused it's the
science, the science we got to stop science that evil science
science science
you have to heed what those same scientists are telling us about
how you prevent the inevitable consequences and impacts
which is death doom and destruction of huge children
that's why President Obama has made climate change a top
priority for weed to grow more weed is doing by executive
authority what we're not able to get the Congress to do
the Congress damn Congress. Oh, he'd he the science. The science
is causing the climate to change. Cool. I don't know about
you, but that took a lot out of me when I heard all that.
Guy's a stew. I felt pretty bad
just listening to it. Brother
I got a nice letter. Oh, yeah, I did. This is really makes me
want to keep from J. David, the IMF. Who John David from the
IMF.
Oh, yeah. Yes. Christine Lagarde up there the International
Monetary Fund?
Yeah, I'm John David, the personal lawyer to Christine
Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund
IMF in the USA are you being sued I know this will come to
you as a surprise but as a blessing for life and in this
transaction will be beneficial to you even on your retired
days. And you will be grateful to me for this rest of your life
for this rest of your life. But during my investigation, I
discovered funds that have been seized through the past
government ah, due to my position now I have discovered
and confirmed that it can be released to you now without any
hitches. This is excellent. You are very lucky for me contacting
you now because this is the best time to accomplish this
transaction. This is an opportunity that comes which I
can not afford to lose because it is painful when you do not
utilize a real opportunity.
Is this guy from Nigeria this Mr. Davis is he sounds like it
might be a Nigerian Princess
as a kind of a Geryon ring to it has been I'm gonna follow up
because it's maybe it's my way out. Yeah, is it has definitely
something that the you know,
you should totally you should totally do that with your Gmail
account so they can hack it. And then I can get an email that
says that you had an accident and that you have no more money
and to desperately send you some cash. Yeah, that'll work. Those
are probably the first time I saw that I was I thought it was
quite convincing.
What did look guard one?
I know the I've had an accident and oh, the accident one. I just
thought that Uncle Don would have other ways to take care of
himself but it's what it is apparently. Have you heard of
this? Is new the new Shut up rule that's been implemented
here in New York for the by the New York State Board of
Elections for campaign finance. No. So apparently they passed a
rule. In looks, let me just get this. I have this here in March,
march 31 2014, article 14 of the election law was amended to
provide for expanded disclosure of independent expenditures.
Everyone is always looking for campaign finance reform, which
everyone seems to think is a good idea. Particularly in in
the blue states here of of the East Coast. And the idea is to,
to shore this up a bit so that we can know what who's doing
what to whom and how it works. And this is really a reporting
requirement in chapter 55, the laws of 2014 subpart. C, New
York State election law, article 14, and is about the
presentation on the independent expenditure reporting. And it
has been adopted, ratified, and it goes into effect. And it
requires the citizens to file a weekly or, or 24 hour
independent expenditure, contribution to any form of
contribution to and a political campaign. And I read a couple of
articles about it, and then decided to go and actually
download the rules. Go figure we'll do some real reporting.
Even the the article that I read was a little off on what it
exactly is, but here it is, what now has to be done. And this is
for the disclosure of independent expenditures.
Independent, of course means the expenditure communication that
has not been authorized, requested, suggested fostered or
cooperated on by a candidate, his or her committee, or agents
or a ballot proposal committee. So in other words, if I wanted
to, let's let's take an example, if I wanted to print up some
flyers, and I wanted to spread them around, that would be an
independent contribution because it cost actual money to do that.
And how do I know that as a part of it? Well, as it relates to
ballot proposals, independent means political committee formed
to promote the success or defeat of a ballot proposal that was
not authorized. It can be an audio or video communication via
broadcast cable or satellite, which technically that could be
through internet, I think if if you're saying cable, but maybe
not necessarily. It also includes and this is the one I
was alluding to written communication by advertisements,
pamphlets, circulars, flyers, brochures, letterheads, or other
published statements. And regardless of when Wade includes
words, such as you might want to write these down, John, because
these are words that if you use them will require you to report
your expenditure of using the words of vote, oppose, support,
elect, defeat, or reject. So if you use these words, and you
print them on the flyers, and it's cost you $1,000 That is now
reportable. And if you do that, within 30 days, or up to 30 days
of an election or a vote, you must report that within a week,
if you do it within the 30 day period, you must report it
within 24 hours, or you can be fined and or jailed for not
reporting this appropriately, jailed,
fine, those words are limited. Is it limited to those words?
What if I said kick out? Instead of reject? Let's
let's read the terms again, to be very specific. And by the
way, is the clearly identified candidate would be another
requirement that that you'd have to adhere to. So, if you said
kick out name of the candidate, if it involves appears a
photograph a drawing a caricature of the candidate, or
the identity of the candidate is apparent by unambiguous
reference, like clippity clop or something that would that would
also count if it was it was clear to a large enough group.
And let me look again at those words, regardless of when
regardless of when made word a word such as, such as votes,
oppose, support, elect, defeat, or reject, which call for the
election or defeat of a clearly defined candidates. Or on or
after January 1 of the election year in which such candidate is
seeking office or such proposal shall appear on the ballot
refers to and advocates for or against a clearly identified
candidate or ballot Proposal. So this is I think the $1,000. Is,
is concerning this reporting requirements. And why would I
have to
report if I do, I can make a handmade sign. If it was,
if it's the cost of $1,000, you can make a handmade sign.
That is okay, I can make a single handmade sign.
But you can see where to make a difference. If you printed up a
whole bunch of signs and wanted to put them in people's yard, I
can see where that can reach up to 1000 bucks pretty quickly. I
see. I can see without a canal.
But if you bought 999 $8 A sign here, okay, then you're okay.
Okay, what if the next day I bought another 998?
I think it's still within the time period. So that it I think
it's cumulative. Within the year, as with the way I see, the
way I'm reading is I can't
spend $1,000 An entire year you can you just have to report it.
So if I spend $998. And then I wait a month and spend $3, which
puts me over the limit, do I file? Yes. $3 thing? No, you
have to hold it, you hold reporting, if it's
within that year, calendar year, and it's before 30 days before
an election or ballot, you have a week to report it. If it's
within the 30 days of the election or ballot proposal, you
have 24 hours to report that. And that will be the $1,000
within that calendar year. Whose idea is this? Well, this is not
an idea just to keep
the Koch brothers out.
I don't know. Why would it be to keep the thing they care? Do you
think they care about reporting? I don't see how they can care.
Now what happens with the science coming from out of
state? What if the science come in from out of state? Well, your
I I'm just identifying something. I read the
legislation. I don't know if I can get all I think that's not
important to us. It's just New York doing its thing, making
things worse making a bigger bureaucracy than they already
have. But this is a
truly Shut up slave. This is words you can't use without
being penalized. You have to pay for these words, you
have to register the words.
True, right? You have
to register your words, right I'm doing a sign that says the
guy's a schmuck. Yes, that do I have to read? Yes, you have to
register. Maybe exact words down here might mean
you might not have to, I think you can get away with schmuck.
As long as you don't end up you say the guy. Not. If you
identify a candidate, as a human, if you identify a
candidate as a problem, you can just say the guy's a schmuck,
that's not too much of a problem.
So we had this Bratton is the chief of police or runs the
police department in that area. That guy used to be the
original, you know, cleaned up New York? Yeah. Under Giuliani?
Yeah. So he's, he took
the squeegee guys, and I think he killed them all. I never saw
the squeegee guys never seen a squeegee guys after that.
I don't know what happened to them. Whatever the case is, he's
back. And now he's moving ahead. So I have a couple of clips
there was there was a nice event was he him being interviewed by
this, I think liberal editor from the Atlantic or something
and who's expecting to hear he's not expecting to hear Minority
Report of coming out of brand's mouth. But
but that's what we know. That's what he's really built here.
What do you really start here
we I have three clips that are very interesting, because
they're educational. And we can start with Bratton on predictive
policing. And this is the future of your country. And I've heard
you talk a lot in the last couple of years about predictive
policing. And I thought we might start there with what what does
that actually mean?
Okay, but policing is the evolution we're now going
through in policing. The period of time we're in right now is
called the information intelligence era, that we have
learned the importance of gathering as much information as
possible, and as quickly as possible, making intelligence
out of it. In policing. That was the ComStat system that we put
into place. And at 94. There was the engine that really drove the
crime declines that allowed us to move from 20 245 murders the
all time, high in the city, to last year, the all time low.
Good news is so far this year, we have 18 fewer murders than we
had same time last year. So the good news is that crime can
continue to go down. The challenge to do that is to find
ways to in fact, do it. And predictive policing, I think is
going to be one of those tools. The ability to with the huge
amounts of information that we can gather, with algorithms that
have now been developed and are being continually improved upon
algorithms have the ability within a geographic area to
predict with some certainty within a certain timeframe that
A crime will likely be committed there. Unless we prevent it,
then we prevent it by putting a police officer there. Cops on
the dots, same thing as we did in the 1990s.
Hold on before you say anything. First of all cops on the dots
great for a title possibility to I'm writing it down, I'm really
hoping that the algorithm they have developed, which clearly is
done with big data is as effective as the Facebook
advertising. Because those guys really know they need they get
me every single time. Google they know so well what I want at
the moment, I want to see this product. That's when they
deliver me the ad and it's always right on the money. So I
hope that predictive policing uses the same fantastic,
completely accurate algorithms.
Absolutely. Well, it goes on and this guy's cool. This guy over
the period of this interviews, jaw just keeps getting longer
and longer. And so let's go to part two, it does
sound a little bit like Minority Report, you're not identifying
the criminals in advance, though you're identifying the
likelihood of a crime being committed. Can you Is there a
can you give a concrete example?
Because actually, in some respects, you have identifying
the criminal because the algorithm also
is identifying the criminal and we back that up and then yeah,
no, this
is not like that. Is it? And he's Oh, yeah, no, it's like
that. I
mean, the criminal because the algorithm also takes into
account who's living in that area? Arrested who just got out
of jail, the patterns and trends of crime that are being reported
matching up against so who does that type of crime? So the
Minority Report you refer to was the Tom Cruise movie the late
1990s That looks so futuristic, and now everyone in the audience
with your iPhone or your Samsung phone can do exactly what Tom
Cruise was doing? That seems so few of futuristic years ago.
And everybody who doesn't have a phone like Mr. Adam curry, no
smartphone rejoiced. Or everyone looked down when? Oh, crap, I
got a Samsung phone. Oh, man. It does LG, LG phone not have this
capability for Minority Report, feedback loop.
And I think it was pretty bigoted of him. Just to mention
the iPhone and the Samsung worse,
I would accuse him of native advertising. It's a positive
product placement iPhone or iPhone is top of the list. But
yes, this is, of course, he is right. We have all the big data
on you have now obviously, if it's anything like the
advertising algorithms, after I have completed my purchase, I
after the crime has been committed. That's when I get
arrested falsely. When we were talking to cats, it shows back
everything I buy. I get all the ads after I bought it.
I know I have missed me too. So smart. So how it says how great
it is. It's how great that algorithm works. So we were
talking about how JC was in the building across the world bomb
was gonna visit everybody's phones lit up. Yeah, this was
the device. Yes, the Viper system, which apparently lights
up all local phones and creates a false tower. So you can't
really do anything without going through the Viper system. Right?
Yeah. They said, apparently, San Francisco has been using it to
an extreme. It's
illegal. I believe it is unconstitutional and illegal.
Yeah, yeah, it is. So what what are you gonna do about it?
Citizen?
I'm a trusted citizen. Do we scan my QR code and
$3? We'll get you Starbucks coffee. So play the last clip of
this. And this is the guy thought was a creepy, just as
creepy as anything else. He said, No, this
is not far fetched. This is the reality of policing. Yeah, we go
forward into the 21st century, it's going to become much more
commonplace the idea of using technology using big data, using
all of the new ways of collaborating with each other,
to effectively keep crime low. And most importantly, prevent it
from occurring in the first place.
In the future, oh, prevented from because they know what I'm
thinking. He knows what I'm thinking. That's really that was
the Minority Report. No, it wasn't just the tech, okay,
great
prevented from occurring in the first place.
So what in the future? Can we as citizens, citizens expect our
public spaces to feel like I mean, they're now
now he's calling citizens. He's really calling us citizens at
this point. Yeah, to
six or 7000 cameras in the streets of New York. Do you
imagine selfies, more tightly surveilled, public spaces, the
use of drones and so forth?
Actually, what we can expect. We had seven and a half million
people in at 90. We now have, we believe eight and a half
million, probably more and then with the 56 million tourists and
that number is growing. We're going to live in a very densely
crowded sitting where public spaces will in fact be more
crowded. From the police perspective that one of the
things we will attempt to do is to try to continually improve
our ability to police those public spaces. My predecessor,
Commissioner Kelly post 911, implemented a program called
Domain Awareness initially in the Wall Street area, and then
growing up to 59th Street in Manhattan and now moving north,
that eventually will be throughout the city. And that's
the camera systems currently 7000 cameras, private sector,
police cameras that are all interconnected. So that we have
the ability to very closely monitor particularly in
Manhattan, public space, we also have license plate scanning
capabilities that in the future that will actually be impossible
to come into the city of New York and not have your license
plate scanned in some fashion at EZ Pass or some other type of
location where that number is being recorded. All of this is
constitutionally protected activity, if you will, yes. It's
been deemed by the Supreme Court to be lawful to in fact, do it.
Yeah. But in your lesson have any outrage over that? Let's
have outrage over birth control. Well, stop, stop, stop. But
stop. Why three clips collective all boiled down to one thing?
I wouldn't take it but okay, thanks. I want to remind people
that when you have a fast pass, I have had an easy pass here. EZ
Pass, pass, pass whatever you want to call it advertising. I
say pass in San Francisco that you Yeah, you go across the
bridge beep and you get your collects the toll. And then
there are monitors all throughout the city on the
lampposts on the lamppost and elsewhere, that monitor that
they are fighting. Yeah, yeah, monitor costly, so they know
that you're downtown
that is constitutionally legal, the Supreme Court said so it's
all good. You have a problem. What's your problem citizen?
My guy, I'm just advising people, you get yourself a
couple pieces of lead foil. Right? Yeah, keep the Fastpass
in the glove box. And you wrap it in lead foil, and then you
when you good come to the bridge, you take it out and you
put it on your dashboard, and you go through the bridge. And
then you take that thing off your dashboard. You don't want
to leave it out anyway, because people would steal it. You take
it out and you put it back in the lead foil little envelope
you created and shove it back in your glove box. Why should
anybody be tracking me like a dog? As I drive around the city,
you may return to your business. That is
that is the future, John, that is the future. And of course, it
will lead to absolutely zero terrorists being arrested. No,
it will lead to nothing. It all it is is that just just just to
make you feel uncomfortable. That is the secret police
they're watching your every move. That's all it is just to
intimidate the public but it doesn't result in any terrorists
being captured. That's the point. Doesn't do anything any
good. Could
they take less murders?
Could that by the way, the less murders thing is a red herring
because that has been the case in all cities, whether they
implemented all this crap or not.
It would it be possible to take some of that data where I'm
driving, what kind of car I'm driving, because you have the
license plate data where I'm walking and, and give me
advertising about what I want when I want it.
Yes, and they could tell you to buy things you've already
bought. Only this time on the fly. I love I love citizen
I love I love this. This booking this trip. I told you like
hotels.com Whatever I did.
Yeah, yeah.
I booked. And all the ads. I see these four hotels in New York.
I'm here. I'm already here. I don't need I don't need I rented
a car. I don't need any deals. I just don't need any deals. It's
It's really sad that they're still despite not
even close to being any good.
No, and, and people are starting to see it. And they still
believe Well, maybe if I have an iWatch it'll be better. And
Google has even more information about me with my wearables. And
by the way, I slipped Sorry, what did you do there? I
slipped.
I've got one more Bill Ayers clip. So he's arguing with
Denise de Souza D'souza about libertarianism and whatever and
he's, you know, he's not a libertarian by any means. And he
and Denise Denise was asked what was wrong libertarianism and
Bill Ayers comes out with what he thinks is wrong with
libertarianism even though he admits it is a wide variety of
thoughts and what Never and he comes up with this Another thing
he comes up with this is a very short clip. This is Bill Ayers
on libertarianism. He comes up with this bullcrap. I consider
myself a libertarian. I know plenty of libertarians and none
of them think the way he says libertarians are. And what's
wrong with libertarianism is in this clip, just that is also
part of your freedom.
Where the Libertarians where the Libertarians get it wrong is
that they think that the market is holy. And so they say the
government bad but these corporations that have taken
over the government, they're good. That's nonsense. So So
even the idea that somehow the government spying on us is a bad
thing. But Google spying on us is a great thing. Because of the
love of the of the market and private enterprise. It's
foolish.
Yeah, but that's not just libertarians. That's no,
it's bull crap. Nobody thinks that libertarians in particular,
don't think it's great that will spying on them, the people. And
if you're talking about people like Leo, who has a big problem,
he thinks it's great that you can maybe get the advertising
that's meant for you. Google told
me when to leave on time for my flight because it knew through
looking at my email, knew what flight I was on and knew that
there was traffic.
That's an example. But Leo is example of a left winger,
similar to Bill Ayers. I don't know any libertarian who thinks
it's cool that Google's spying on them all the time. This guy's
basically full of crap. And he wasn't called out by D'souza on
this nonsense. And it bothers me. Yeah, these whose public
figures are supposed to be arguing things that are there,
except for the Shapiro character. Now, who is a, he's a
hoot. He is funny, you want to play another clip from?
Before you do that? I just wanted to tell people one more
time, just so they know, all of us not lost, you are not
hopeless. There is absolutely no reason for you to have to use
any Google services you really don't have to. So what if you
have to? For rue.com? Try that. There's plenty
of alternatives. Even though.com. So new, I don't
know. freude.com?
Yeah, we've talked about it. It uses distributed hash tables.
All right, right. Or o.com, I believe for Rudock comm. I'm
very impressed with it with what the future of the net in general
is going to be distributed hash tables, but that's okay. You
don't have to worry about that. For now. There's no need to use
Gmail. There's no need to have a smartphone. You There is no need
for it. You can print out a map at home at home.
I don't have a smartphone. No, you're using the old e 71. And
old classic, it's off the batteries
out. Only if I needed to make a call.
It doesn't even have GPS.
I don't know it may it has to do triangulation
to find you. They don't even bother with triangulation
anymore. But
that's only for a phone call. If I need to make one and I can't
make voice any other way. Which could be an emergency could
happen. That's why I bought it but I really had my ID 31 A the
D star is much more effective the ham radio but I have a Wi Fi
device, which is not connected. Unless I really need to connect.
And you know what? You don't you just don't The only thing that I
should have. I should have had connection for yesterday is John
sent me the newsletter to look at and because I was
disconnected enjoying family. I didn't receive it. And I said, I
think I reply to you Sorry, I was disconnected. Which I was I
was disconnected. Don't care opted out my life carried on
perfectly. Yeah, your life will carry on. If you don't have a
smartphone, I'm sorry, an iPhone or Samsung. Everything else may
be okay if we listen to Bing, and everything else maybe. But
you can opt out of this. It's really okay. You don't need all
these services. They are not actually enriching their life.
They are in fact making you ill most of what you are doing is
making you ill the thing that you believe you have to publish
on Facebook and Twitter and that's the only way you can
communicate with people and publish things to the world is
in fact making you ill
insane.
Yes, use of these without proper realisation is indeed insane.
Now let's play another
actually take a little break first. Okay,
I'm sorry. I just I can't help myself. It makes it makes me
angry to see that people think there's no way out. And that is
yelling at Google stop. Ignore them. Ignore them. I say ignore
them.
I'm going to show much. But Jonah to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
and by the way, yes, smarty pants. Yeah, I know. Even if you
don't turn this microphone off. It's still tracking. That's why
you don't need one. You don't need one. You don't need one.
Print out the map. You might actually notice some things
while you're driving around. Do we have these things we invented
called? Oh, what are they signs? And in New York, they're very
good north south. Oh, I'm thinking I'm going north because
I looked at the map. I know Armonk is north. No, I think
I'll take nine. And this is not hard people. We, we used to not
have
turn left at the fork.
Keep right slight right. It's slight and right at the fork,
slide right at the fork. Slide right at the fork. Left, left at
the signal left. Okay, we do have a few people to thank for
our show. 644 I want to thank them. I'm concerned
about how I'm sounding these days. I'm very concerned. i You
sound like an old coot.
You're gonna be 50 Next thing you know 60 Then 70 went 80
That's when I want to hear Yeah. James butcher.
I want you to hear me when I'm at I really hope you're still
hearing me bro.
I can barely hear you. Talk up. Why bro.
James butcher now rollino In Western Australia. $111.11 Jeff
the Yorkie who's over here and as part of the Dvorak Yorkie
project two three yeah yeah for years that Devorah Yorkie
project to read digitize old red fox albums in fact one of our
one of our listeners sent me a little pile of moment to thank
him I'm gonna I'll get to that note at the where's that group?
I think I'll do it for the next show. Oh we got I got another
bundle of red fox nice albums nice. And we just did a bunch of
them but you put them on Dropbox I'm gonna have to send you send
me a dis Dropbox suck so I
have not even installed Dropbox on mine another thing that this
is going to scan through oh you got naked pictures illegal
content citizen, unlawful network traffic citizen
you can put out for the end of the hour thing here put an ad
out of Shopkins resist very much I don't know and the both Okay,
that's what your kid would like to hear at the end and we'll be
uncle Don love the broth story. I told him Oh God now why isn't
Michael Daniels listen to the show.
And what he said he said I would love it if the broth Whizzer to
start off I said This is CNN with breaking wind. An 86 year
old guy that was pretty fun. Hey,
sir Dwayne Melanson again to do chemistry from Tigger Tygart
figured, yeah, Tigger tie guard, I
guard a place $8.03 He wants his boom donation of 8003 get it?
Looks like boom looks like boom.
Right. So does he want that again? Does he want to
tackle like, well, he says he donated to the other one. He has
given this area as well. Boom. Shakalaka Here you go. Bingo.
Who seems to like that a lot. Frank the pew in Tallahassee,
Florida. $75 Randall Meyers in Manassas, Virginia. 6660. And
these are all that money. We didn't ask for 6660s and 660s
and 666. Nothing. No one got nothing. We got a lot of six.
What not even a lot of $6.60. We did get a few. Okay, but we got
very few have much I you know, and then I looked at the mailing
got, I think it got shunted to spam for some reason. I can't
figure out why. Baris law Mara NOF, anvil Aliso Viejo was 6660
or herb lamb also in Sugar Hill, ga 6660. He's tied to the
analysis of the Ferguson riots being a Democrat get out to vote
operation was stellar. He had to donate Gwen Adams and Sarasota
Florida 6660 We got a birthday coming up. Need some he says she
wants some birthday karma D Do we will put the birthday karma D
douching. At the end, and I'll throw the harmonica in then and
but you also get on the birthday list. Anonymous in Dayton, Ohio.
6660. And finally, Joe Wagner of Atlanta, Georgia 6660s All we
got people check your spam box and see what happened to that
dusty mail.
It came in fine for me in my own mail server.
Well, yeah. Well, it came in fine for me to Eric who had
double nickels on the dime from Exeter, Rhode Island, sir
thirsty of the North Sydney. Double nickels on the dime is a
yearly donation of 5510 on his birthday, August 17. We've got
chandeliers, Kevin Hein, Auckland, New Zealand, to Dublin
that goes on the dime Pedro Gonzalez rely No, in Cornelia
Barcelona, Spain
Hmm Nice. Thank you for your courage.
Thank you for your donation now these are all what we have left
here's a few $50 donations and that's all we got Rosalynn for
NASA and turn bridge wells can't Oh, Oh, I slept
three hours last night. Just try Airwrap
k r KY your Augie airy and I don't know
I think it's airy Q ragi. Ehrenreich, airy Eric urography
airy and keerai
in San friends just go and this is a birthday coming up for
Brian Mickie James Wilkins in in Hertfordshire at Josh
McDonaldland mount of Waverly Victoria, Australia and finally
John camp and antlers Oklahoma great name for a town. Chris
Lewis. Second only do not bone, Chris Lewinsky and Sherwood
Park, Alberta, Canada where the money is and finally dj de de
who did send in a note and I do have it here in Missouri because
it came in hand written the only check that came in the mail that
was handed with a handwritten note. All the other ones were
just bank checks. And they weren't any big ones. The host
of the greatest podcasts universe have enlisted for your
deconstruction theories for a while and I must say I enjoy a
lot. I enjoy them a lot and so does my wife. You too are onto
something more times than not finally got a job in June so I
don't have to decide to share that wealth with you too. I
really enjoy that. I decided to share the wealth with you too
and really enjoy the show and hope to listen for many years to
come. So here's a little something why will be too much
to ask for a mac and cheese jingle. I love John's rendition
of it. DJ de de and Scottsdale
I have no problem doing that it's always
you slaves can get the mac and cheese cheese macaroni and
cheese melted together mac and
cheese mac and cheese mac and cheese.
Mac and cheese. And does that conclude our list of very short
ones all
we got so there isn't there is no more
so very little, very little beasts in the way of newsletter
what it seems someone wrong with the newsletter. That's That's
obvious. I
think you went into the spam. Something went wrong.
The news dams.
The numbers weren't normal. They were abnormally low.
And we did have a great PR initiative going on in Texas.
This weekend is the what's it called? Pod case like a podcast
harmony
and the podcast thing is going on there.
And they had asked me a long time ago if I do come do it.
Well, you're not the pod father. No. Are you? If they want to
have a making lemonade convention, they'll call you
know, they call me as the pod father. And I always I've never
done the so I have nothing to say that what am I going to say?
The only reason people go to these is to see if they can make
money. I don't I don't see any any of the world. That is
actually not true.
No, that's true. They go to network and make money.
One of our producers who goes to all of these goes there to
ensure that the no agenda show is promoted as the best podcast
in the universe. Okay, well that's a plus. And is always
there to propagate our formula. Okay, and it will in the mouth
and hit people up and make sure that no one calls himself the
pod father. Well, and this is our friend, Sergeant Fred, who
will a Surgeon
General Fred Sergeant friend Vietnam veteran. Yeah, good guy.
He always sends us Doublemint goes on the dime big podcast
himself does business podcast he does a lot of entrepreneur
podcasts. And and I have a
clip Did he go to the podcast or this is a clip from the podcast
thing?
Yes. During the keynote. I'm listening Gary Leland famous as
the podcast pickle was doing the keynote and asked pickle I think
he has a website podcast pickle hmm back in the day which was I
don't know yeah hit it was like a directory it happens pretty
quick. Well you recognize Sergeant Fred day in a heartbeat
Sergeant Frederick Good morning everybody I'm barely anymore
wow,
I think starting Fred is fabulous
a podcast I have no idea what he's yelling but I love the
charging friends they're propagating
okay
that's what that's there. There you go. That's That's what our
version of publicity is all about.
Works Hey people at least it's very very inexpensive to the
show.
And Andre money but okay. Thank you. Oh, is this event for I was
the podcast world or some I forget what it was
podcast melting pot. I forget. I really don't I remember, it
looked like a pretty good event. But then they wanted to do a
Kickstarter and you think, so I'm gonna do the keynote and I
have nothing to say. And you're gonna say Adam curry speaking of
doing a Kickstarter, I have nothing to say. And I have a
family reunion. So that was really that was the best I know
you can't go to Yeah, obviously. Thank you all very much for your
support of the best podcast in the universe light. Luckily, we
had an instant night to I think he becomes a Baronet. He needs
to give us a you know, some details who wants regions and
setups for his barony, etc. So we'll be happy to do that. In
the meantime, please support us for Thursday's show. It's going
to be a lot of work. And I think that we brought you some value
today. Certainly coming to you from New York from the hotel.
Nothing can stop the show from going on. We've always done our
best to continue no matter what the personal circumstances are
or the technical circumstances. And we're hanging in there once
again

he'd look at it again and look
at the sense Nasus stabber
they don't care about my sword
didn't say a thing. And you
I keep the two swords I have to admit it I don't really travel
with my sword I keep the other one up north.
Yeah, you are You are a cheater on that foreign foreign both of

dvorak.org/na is where you can find all of the information on
our peerage who owns what my cousin burr is an archaeologist.
burn burn. Burn Harrison Burr. Be you are ours a lot of famous
gentlemen who had been named burr in American history. Yeah.
And Raymond Burr. Burr is rolling his eyes right burr
actually listened to the show a lot. And he's an archaeologist
and he was very pleased to hear that. In the future colleagues
of his not yet born will find our peerage map and understand
who actually ran the world. He'll know that or she will know
that. Grand du von Palace mockers ran France and Belgium.
grand new David Foley ran the United States started with
Silicon Valley but really branched out and owned the whole
kit and caboodle. Who owns what pieces what Baronies our
protectors belong where? Yeah. And it will be true because it's
on a Google map. And they'll everyone knows that's always
fact. Yeah,
but give me they came right from the eye. Archaeologists will dig
it up and they'll say What's this and then they'll analyze it
now analyze and translate and figure out what you know.
There'll be a books that will be written about it.
Being in New York. And I will say that I do have a browser
that are like that is not blocked and just open because I
need to always figure out what is going on because it's part of
my job.
The other browser that's blocked in Texas
I have a browser I on my machine, I have a browser that I
use for unblock surfing so that I can see what's going on. Yeah.
And when you're in other towns, other cities and other networks
use, you get other messaging. And so it's interesting to see
what's going on. And I got a message, video ad from Comcast,
and Time Warner. And they are, of course, working on a merger
to become pretty much the the largest mack daddy badass
broadband cable thing provider in the land.
We called calm Warner, calm or time cast.
And what do you think there this particular, if you are it, let's
just presume that you had a campaign that no one really knew
about, but now we're starting to bring it to the forefront
because you really want after you've scared the citizens, and
you've scared podcasters, and you scared other Silicon Valley
pundants, into believing that if you don't request something from
the government, it'd be very scary. And then, of course, this
is where they now are popping their head up in a policy town
in New York, obviously, policy town for novel things. And they
bring you the ad with families of all shapes, sizes and colors.
It's just so lovely and familiar. And what do you think
their the message would be about John for this time cast comm
Warner,
it would be about how great it would be if those two companies
merged.
And when those two companies merge, what do you receive as a
consumer?
Oh, better service and an ideal $5 Off
you receive faster speeds, better service, more security,
because they support net neutrality
since when,
since this commercial since and now popping their head up. And
here are the people who have been paying for all these
lobbying groups. I'm looking at you fight the freedom, frickin
tech, whatever your name is. I don't look at all you shills
take taken all that Comcast Time Warner money and it's scaring
people that oh the packets will be unequal and we won't be able
to get a slow website there will be fast lanes all the things
John and I have been railing against saying this is bullcrap.
There is no such thing as packet equality in networks. This is
only about one thing is getting you to follow the rules and have
legal content and legal network traffic but here's all the
benefits and finally here are the true people behind it all
Comcast Time Warner coming together to bring you the net
neutrality you need to want and vote for citizens do
you make life online better?
You extend the protection of net neutrality rules to millions
more people make it faster for millions more homes and
businesses.
You extend the power of
the internet so every child can have the internet
at home. Life online gets better when people have a faster more
secure and reliable internet that's what Comcast and Time
Warner Cable are committed to do. Comcast and Time Warner
Cable together is better for more people
there you go. Together is better for more people
can I asked you some questions? Yes play as though you are your
let's say we're at a hearing okay yes. Okay, I want to ask
you how is the two companies combined better

networks and net neutrality will be in place and everyone will be
treated fairly and nothing can go wrong.
Thank you for your for your testimony Mr. Curry
well that's it you just have to wonder if anyone I don't know
sees through this sees the logic of the whole Does anyone see
through this at all? I was kind of blown away when I got that
that ad here
yeah that's it Well Jim that you recorded it very smart
but it was one of the I had to I had to stop go back reload the
page and then pray that I still got the the ad which I did
luckily
the listeners were here one more Ben Shapiro thing I don't think
we need to listen too much more. I got some other stuff we can do
on the next show. But yeah, good. I would this is Shapiro
going off on he hates him
another Ben Shapiro clip what
he's goes off on on socialists and narcissists. And he seems
that day if he watched him for the whole hour, which is about a
three hour speech done in an hour. The way he wraps it up
Yeah, and he just hates Joe Biden. He thinks Joe Biden is
the biggest dummy in the world ever. And he's and he's also
thinks Joe is full of himself and he then he thinks highly of
himself and he just bought Joe Biden for some reason really
rubbish. This guy the wrong way.
Joe Biden and thank you for taking the time to listen. Yeah,
I can see why.
So let's This is the rant is a pretty good rant. I thought we
just we just play and see what I just it's a little bit of a
right wing rant, but I enjoyed it a lot.
As far as the first question, and thank you for deep linking
the questions I see no, I did that. The as far as the first
question as to his narcissism. Yes, of course. President Obama
is a dramatic narcissist it most people who run for office are
which is why we're dealing to the question. The the the first
requirement of running for office should be that you
desperately do not want to run for office. That would be a good
start. But as far as President Obama his narcissism Yes, he's
an egoist. But this goes along with the overweening sense of
self that comes along with a nihilistic atheism, resulting in
his ideology. This was just what the left is all about. It's all
about narcissism. It's about your feelings doesn't matter if
that black Did you
speed this up, John, come on, you spent, swear to god, this
is the way the guy talks. That's not
actual communication
kid in the inner city gets shot in the face a couple of times.
All that matters, that you feel good about what you say about
the black kid who got shot in the inner city, even if you
didn't save him or you're not gonna save his neighbor. leftism
is all about narcissism. It's all about helping yourself
because socialism is about narcissism. Socialism is based
on the on the fundamental premise. I'm breathing. I'm
here, feed me. Hey, it turns out that my five month old baby is a
socialist. She is right, she's hungry. I feed her she poops I
clean her. Right she's she's cuter than than the vast
majority of socialists I know. But and the nice thing is that a
certain point, I know she'll grow out of it. I'm like the
rest of these idiots. But, but socialism is all about
selfishness. It's all about narcissism. It's all about a an
overweening sense of superiority, based on nothing
you've ever done. Because socialist, by and large, are not
real business businesses. They don't make people's lives
better. They don't increase the efficacy of government. They
don't make people's prosperity happen. They don't do any of
these things. They didn't build that in other words, but they
take credit for that because it makes them feel better. So
that's the answer to the first question. Of course, he's an ego
test. Of course, Hillary Clinton has an ego test. Of course, Joe
Biden has a massive ego test because he's not even smart. And
he's an ego test.
You would listen to the second time. Second time you listen to
him. After listening to him for the first time, it was easier he
is so you know, he needs some some coaching in terms of his
public speaking. He cannot
keep talking like this right
now. But also, who cares? They're all narcissists. And
he's only pulling out the set set. Do you know what? I don't
like this guy?
What did I say? When I first introduced you? I would not
like this guy. Yeah, of course. So don't bring someone to my
house. Well, I'm not gonna like don't do that. It's
not your house.
Well, you're in my bedroom.
I'm not. Well, you're in your bed and I'm in my bedroom in the
office.
I can't blow in Silicon Valley office. I can't believe you
brought this douchebag into my bedroom. John. Well, it's this
this cannot happen again.
owes you sex.
Ah, okay, let me see. Let's see if we can wrap this up. I don't
know if we have
to Panama Canal stuff is pretty interesting. Okay, got one to
light. Okay, this is the paneer this is interesting to me. This
is the Punnett you know, the Peninsula Hotel is opening in
Paris.
You know, I did not get the invite.
Did they the rooms are $2,000 for openers, and it's like,
okay, I want to this is interesting to me because it's
like the decadence of that places. These hotels all of a
sudden in Paris and the Paris has already had great expensive
hotels the George sank the Creole and these a bunch of
these places, but now they've got these high end places
like George sank was not high end. No, I'm
certainly well, no, it is I am but now they get places that are
trying to leapfrog the George saying
Oh, wow. And I'm sorry. Yeah, there you go. Here we go.
Based hotelier Peninsula, is the latest to try its luck in the
French capital. It's teamed up with Qatari investors to open up
at this establishment, the peninsula Paris. They pulled out
all the stops investing an estimated 900 million euros in
the purchase and the refurbishment of this building
and on a room for room basis. It is believed that the peninsula
Paris is the costliest hotel ever created with several other
competitors recently opened and with more on the way will this
investment pay off?
I'm sure it will I'm sure it's a bunch of douchebags will go in
there and the Um The Philadelphia is perfect. This
this is what has happened with the with the stock market and
the financial system. This is a very small amount of people but
they become incredibly wealthy and they fill it up New York as
they say New York you you can't get a two bedroom apartment for
under $5,000 a month. Yeah. A two bedroom hotel suite $5,000 A
night. Oh, it's just crazy. Yeah, fine. Yeah that why do you
think I live in Austin? Hello. And that's also I have to say
I'm a little worried you see the we're adding 4000 hotel rooms
and I know
this is Gaston fastest growing city in the country is going to
be a crap hole and no time yeah, I'm
afraid I am afraid of that you're right
yeah, I know where you're gonna go next next there's no place
else Des Moines
No,
but anyway, that's all
I just had to go through it's gonna be small it's gonna be
small. It's the little house movement a little house on the
prairie. I mean living in a trailer and RV you will get good
internet connections now Oh, that'll also be a thing of the
path and unless of course you assist with the legislation
known as net neutrality and help Time Warner and Comcast joined
forces to give children in all across this great land better
education.
Think of the children this way you should have played
worse I know. I know. I know. All right. I heard I got
no more you hate Ben Shapiro. I don't Yeah. You don't think much
of that Peninsula Hotel opening and I like that but now what am
I going to say that Bellagio cost over a billion so in total
I guess 900 euros is when it's when he has more than one yeah
more higher.
Let me know I did have something here to to play us out. I
thought I had something good here. What is this? This is now
Josh earners. Now that's not any good. That guy has to go. He's
so boring. To the carnies replacing the spokes hole for
the President. Oh, I don't
like this guy. Oh, he's
horrible. Yeah, he's
too is we put you to Stevie so namby, allistic
very good term. I had never heard of this Nampula stick
some fabulous stick, okay, s o m Nambi. wholistic?
I think the only other thing that may be of interest just to
watch just because we know that some dude named Ben is gonna get
totally burned for this thing. This this IRS. Hard Drive this
this does not stop this continues this quest and now the
judge has come out and said the following. Hello, Judge. Why not
playing? I don't know. It says not playing. I don't know what
to say. I'm trying to figure it out on
you. As a district court judge Emmett Sullivan Thursday ordered
the Internal Revenue Service to come up with new answers after
IRS employees contradicted sworn testimony about damage to Lois
Lerner's hard drive. Solomon ruled that the IRS is hereby
ordered to file a sworn declaration by an official with
the authority to speak under oath for the agency by no later
than August 22 2014 on four issues. Yeah, and
this is that's Associated Press report that really blown out
voice with no explanation of the four issues. I'd like to get
into here real quick, just so we can see
anything better than that report.
And again, it's
like it's paid money to do that.
Oh, yeah. So some poor sap some dude named Ben is gonna get
totally reamed for this. In light of the two declarations
filed with the IRS, the IRS is hereby ordered to file a sworn
declaration which means someone's gonna have to burn.
Right it's a sworn declaration has to give a sworn Declaration,
which should be an official with the authority to speak under
oath for the agency hello if your name has been run no later
than August 22 2014. In his declaration, the IRS must one
provide information about its efforts if any, to recover
missing Lois Lerner emails from alternative sources IE,
Blackberry, iPhone iPad. That's tough right there to provide
additional information explaining the IRS as policy of
tracking inventory through use of barcode property tags,
including whether component parts such as hard drives
receive a barcode tag when serviced if individual
components do not receive a barcode tag provide information
on how the IRS tracks component parts such as hard drives when
being service which of course we know they are. That's the one
thing that we know it always does well. Is brand and you're
ruining the casing of a computer with some thing that you cannot
remove. You cannot you cannot Jimmy off whatever tag is put
on. Provide informations point three about the IRS policy to
DDoS hard drives since 1982, okay. DDoS hard drives including
whether the IRS records whose hard drive is de Goss either by
tracking the employee's name or the particular machine which
which the hard drive was associated and for provide
information about the outside vendor who can verify the IRS as
destruction policies concerning hard drives. To someone's going
to burn for this, because you cannot someone's either going to
lie or just burned by think that you burned either way. Yeah. And
I'm surprised that no one has brought back the the rosemary
Woods stretch. It seems like we need one of those, the modern
day version. Do you think anyone knows what that is anymore? I
don't, the rosemary Woods stretch.
I'd be right rings a bell, but I don't remember what it is
the Watergate tapes. This was Nixon's personal secretary. And
she inadvertently by stretching completely backwards with their
left arm outreach, their right hand or right foot on us
footswitch. And I think by tapping her, her pencil on the
desk, was able to erase a critical What 181 minute gap in
an audio tape. And she was in the she was in I think in Senate
or Congress and this demonstrating how this happened
how she simultaneously press Control several feet apart,
known as the rosemary stretch. Yeah, I
vaguely remember that was all explained more accurately in a
movie that came out later. I think it was called dick.
I think we should we need a modern day version of that.
Someone's got to come up with something good. You know what I
mean? Which should be possible.
All right. And that will be a dark report from New York for
There we go. Sorry about that. August 17 2014.
Yes, and apologies for everyone who heard me say welcome to
Sunday show on Thursday. Yes. Did you catch it? I didn't catch
it. Obviously.
Well, I can't tell a dad is half the time.
