Look at me boom.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Thursday, August 21 2014. Time for your gizmo nation media
assassination episode 645.
This is no agenda guaranteed 100%
Ebola free and coming to you from the South Austin St. Paul's
and FEMA Region six here in the capital, the drone Star State in
the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley. Well, I just put a
maintenance kit into my printer. I'm John C. Dvorak. Hill.
A maintenance kit. Yeah, is that a printer isn't like the old
school cassette tape that was the would clean your heads.
You know, I don't know what this thing is for, but it stopped the
printer. This is a phaser, one of those Solid ink printers from
Tektronix, the 8560 prints on both sides of the sheet. And
there's got a bunch of weird stuff that has to be replaced
every so often. And there's this one thing called the maintenance
kit that has to be replaced after 30,000 copies. Really, I
must have made 30,000 printouts or something. And yeah, it's a
pain in the butt. You got to get this thing these look at the old
maintenance kit in the new maintenance kit. And you know,
there's a counter because they look exactly the same. So
there's some counter chip, it's like, okay, we're through.
It's like your engine light. Yeah, so anytime we go on engine
light engine works again. No, okay, good. Did you print out
your I know you have you need your clipless all printed out in
Ohio. Yes, that
last show, actually. Because that's when it went out. I
couldn't print out the clippers. So I had to have it on the
screen of the computer. And
I thought it was me that was doing a rough job being in New
York and all.
Yeah, well, I had to do all this other hard work.
I mean, Mickey and I have been talking and we feel that would
probably be good for the show. And for us. The if every four
weeks or so. We go on the road somewhere in Gitmo nation.
I think we've discussed this before,
and you've always liked the idea. Oh, yeah, no, I
like the idea. I was on the road. I went to Canada,
right? No, I know. But we're not talking about you. It's all
about me again.
It makes sense. If somebody were to do so where does Mickey want
to go now?
You're such a douchebag wow. Oh, this was my idea. Okay, I
brought it up. Oh, so
you took the idea. Okay, good.
Well, I noticed the timing is very interesting if you leave if
I leave on Friday if we were to leave on Friday then we traveled
to some destination you know at least we have traveled stories
and local color to add for the Sunday local color Yeah, which I
think is very important and then on Saturdays wherever we go we
can have a pre arranged meet up you save so this would kind of
work out I think that's the thing that I
know what you're telling me you're going to do the show on
Thursday rocket out of town the next day not be able to do any
research whatsoever kid some parties town and Saturday night
hookers and blow live it up and then get up the next day and do
this show
Yeah, well I think there's
I'm let me get let me say my thoughts on this. Okay, you made
that sound not so good. What else because I think is the
short you should think you should go the long side. No, I
disagree. This is how you get first that Sunday you finish the
show so that you finish the show and immediately get on a plane
and go someplace No,
no, no, no no first of all,
let me finish you have this thing you have your mind made up
I'm listening Okay, you go on the road you're on Sunday night
you're gone it's like you don't can't do much work after the
show anyway because you're kind of used to it's you know, it's a
tedious show does tight tire his heart is like performing. So you
go off and you're gonna relax you go to Montreal. So now
you're in Montreal, Quebec and Monday you got it you can start
rolling into town every
stop I don't like no no no, this is not good.
No, like you know what do you go do you get against the Canadians
nothing against
the Canadians I witnessed the perfect travel schedule left on
Friday for New York arrived on Friday in New York had an
instilled in you with with travel and there's time to do
research there is really time to do things the eclipse is a
little hard but it's there's time to do some research.
Saturday we had the reunion. I'm still unless you didn't like
Sunday show I thought that I performed to my full capacity.
Okay, right. And then and then then I have all these days to
research and also learn local things before we have the show
on Thursday off and travel bags you have one day If no job after
the Friday, Saturday, Sunday, the show then Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday. We do the show on Thursday. Go back home
on Friday. I'm talking like a real golfer. We didn't get
a stay in for two shows. Yes. Oh, that's different.
That changes everything. Great idea, Adam. Yes, indeed.
Oh, that's interesting. Well, yeah, maybe my work. So you're
finally sick. Austin. It doesn't make sense. They're gonna go out
look for another town. Okay. I'd be interested to see what you
come up with. There's a property available in parses South St.
Louis, St. Louis.
Based upon your recommendation, John, my daughter and I went to
see wicked on Broadway. Yes. To a couple observations. Mickey
didn't go. No, she wasn't with us. She was here. She was
working.
Oh, I've done Mickey was there okay. It's just the tie. So you
and Sue it you and Chris Sue. Yeah. Sue, Sue. Sue.
Outstanding show I really liked it. I liked the story. It was
very funny some very funny bits. And of course I had seen the
South Park The episode regarding wicked Have you ever seen that
one? No. Oh, why did why do women like musical so much? Then
apparently I did see those words. The word Joe Blow Job is
fit in. Right right. Right. Right. Right then women after
you take them to the musical they want to give you a blow job
and then he starts writing musicals. And then there's
Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber said hey, man, get
off of our turf. It was fun right? So the other observation
ironic
since they went in the Book of Mormon the same guys right?
The other observation is that you are a perfect fit and I
believe you have everything it takes you have all the talent
but you really be really are a shoo in for the Wizard of Oz
oh the guy behind the curtain you
would be perfect
I probably true
yeah, getting that song you can you can kind of talk staccato
sing your your one song you got about know how fabulous
one song?
One song? The guy and one overdo it. Christina, we're looking
each other to this to vorak before I can say just perfect.
You can do this not a problem. Then of course a traveling back
from New York City with my new Trusted Traveler credentials.
Oh, yes. Wow, that worked. This is
this is so fantastic. JetBlue so they have their own terminal. I
think it's the old the old TWA terminal.
Yeah, they moved into the old they can't tear that thing down
because it's a national historic,
it's beautiful. It's beautiful. I love it.
I think it's the best terminal in the world.
And they have they have re re typified parts of it. So the
precheck Trusted Traveler line is it's all the way on the other
side. It's zero people. Nice and this time I was told to even
keep my belt on now the belt I was wearing.
No they were yelling I said that in Seattle. I didn't
know about you but my belt is filled with studs and don't get
the wrong impression not walking around like like Whitesnake but
it started but it has metal in it. And I'll keep an eye on and
it didn't go off of course nothing went off Kinky Boots on
my my be It must be my boots are always even in Amsterdam we
don't have to take your shoes off my boots always make the
magnetometer go off.
You if you want to test the magnetometer next time he goes
through it well you're not going to be there in New York for a
while but I or anybody out there you want to test the
magnetometer be the bumped to this bump into the sides or
touching the sides. Right and it'll set it off but get this
set it often is not on
so and the the laid back nature of the TSA offers this is free
911 experience there's instead of being there's no band just a
little round plastic thing you throw your keys and your phone
and your and your money clip you throw your money clip in there
and you keep everything on you even if you have a light jacket
keep this doesn't know bins there are no bins keep
everything in your in your bag now we know that my bag is at
best suspicious looking for the studio bag which contains
multiple
wires, wires, gadgets of dynamite
microphone, two turntables and a microphone it has had my my ID
31 A the HT the the handheld which looks very much like a
remote detonation device. And this time my bag went off to the
side for bag check.
Ah it's about time and
the guy picks it up it was bag is this right? Like whose bag is
this? It was mine. Oh come over. Oh my microphone, as I'm opening
up my bag to show the microphones so you don't have to
open up I see a microphone. I could see it as a microphone.
Don't worry about it. Have a nice day. He didn't even want to
see it.
By the way, I find this peculiar. I have seen a bunch of
situations where they could easily open something up. And
they choose not to.
He even said, I know that it's a microphone. I see it. You don't
have to open it up and prove it to me what.
But I've seen this before, even without going through the
special line. Well, special people,
it is so fantastic to see that. Everything is a complete,
guaranteed certified bonafide security theater, just by
witnessing the trusted traveler program, which, of course, of
course costs $140 to enter and I got an email from Craig, one of
our producers, who says yeah, you think this is a this Trusted
Traveler is a scam for you. Here's my story. I applied for
the program, filled out all the paperwork, paid my fee, waited
for my interview, instead got a notice I was disqualified from
the trusted traveler program because I had indicated I had
been convicted of a crime. So if a crime automatically
disqualifies you, why did they not say that upfront? So I
didn't have to lose my money.
Scanbot Yeah, that one and then he says
so I'm not a trusted traveler because but because I travel so
much United pays for my TSA PreCheck and I am approved for
that regardless. So here's a guy who has declined the trusted
traveler program because he admits to having been convicted
of a crime. Yet he still gets to do use pre check because he's a
frequent flyer.
I get the same thing from my PSA. PSA went down to West
vs. What was wow Piedmont Airlines.
No PSA is the is the progenitor for Southwest. Yeah, but I
remember Piedmont I remember Piedmont to my goodness. Anyway.
Hold on a second.
I remember Hughes
the helicopter guys use no use not slow to Eastern is a good
Eastern Oh, yeah. With
the worst air carrier ever. They had the big
smiley son on the side. Yeah, we travel a lot with that Eastern
attention.
being attacked by your politicians and news
organizations in a violation of their human rights.
I turn on the television. You are being barraged people what
is happening on the so called news is making people ill this
has really it's out of control now, who made up this idea that
it will be fun to do this while everybody was had a vacation
planned. I'm seeing nothing but Jake Tapper looking really mad.
Aaron burn it like mad broth is at this point, Wolf Blitzer said
screw it. I'm on vacation. I'm not come just don't you know if
something really bad happens in Israel when I'm hanging out on
the beach. I'll do I'll do a hit if you want me to. It's really,
really crazy.
As long as these two stories.
Yeah, well, luckily, there's a couple more but yeah, these two
stories are quite interesting. And they're so good. In fact, we
have a jingle for the our first story.
Hands up, don't shoot
I love our producers. Thank you. I liked it when I thought it
kind of worked for
me. It's okay. Hands up.
Don't shoot.
I just can't understand the first word Ferguson.
Ferguson,
Ferguson Hands up. Don't shoot for didn't hear.
These kinds of jingles should have a little padded bit in the
beginning. So it's very important that people know your
brain focuses to it before the first word comes. That is the
kind of stuff we have to look out for true. Yeah, yeah. Well,
but congratulations, John. Your analysis has played out in
spades of this, this bull crap media hype not to say that it
sucks that you know people are being killed. This seems to
happen on a daily basis.
I was in Oakland all the time. I don't see anybody getting work
done people die and I'm what was it in Los Angeles some producer
of one of the lesser shows Tosh point. Oh, I think that one of
the well this was a while ago, though. I thought it was going
down recently. No, I didn't get any attention anyways a while
ago
that you have in a lot of this is MSNBC. Of course we have the
Rev. He's out there. And just to reiterate that Your analysis
which has turned many people into anger and calling us
racist. You're racist, man, you don't see what's going on? Uh,
yeah, we kind of do. We really, really, really kind of do. But
let's, if you would indulge for a moment, John limpy just says
fiddle around the dial here. So we can listen to a few different
pieces of analysis, mainly from MSNBC and how it is being, how
the story is unfolding, and how it is moving towards the
whatever you do, vote. Whatever you do, get out and vote and
vote Democrat. And that is as what is the word not sorry?
sarcastic? What is the word I'm looking for blatant? No one
directly cynical. It's that cynical. Yes. That's the word
I'm looking for. This is Michelle Barnard. I believe she
is the senator or Congresswoman for Missouri.
And I believe she'd be a congressman. She's a
congresswoman.
And she spells it out real clear for us.
There are people in this country who not only do not like African
Americans, but they despise black men. There is a war on
black boys in this country in my
war on black boys write it down opinion there
is a war on African American men. And I think the fact that
President Obama has repeatedly had to stand up and look at
members of Congress and say, I am the President of the United
States get over it. I think It enrages people. And we are
seeing not just the economic effects. We're seeing the
effects of a horrible public education system that
discriminates against our kids on the basis of race, and on the
basis of their zip code. And things are getting much, much
worse. It is an absolutely deplorable situation that the
United States which is supposed to be the greatest nation on
Earth, a lab sits back and allows black boys to be
murdered.
That's That's pretty. Pretty outrageous.
Yeah, yeah, I would say, unfortunately, it's a little
naive to think, well, this. This is naive within the black
community itself. I mean, yes, yes. You know, they will pick up
a couple of seats is not going to be like the Missouri Governor
Mitt is going to be overthrown. It's an I think they already
have a Democrat governor, and they're giving him grief was
let's check that out.
While you're checking that out here is so a woman who showed up
with her daughter and they were right there getting the voter
registration drive underway. We recently came out to my daughter
and I first put in the cleanup, Fergerson and and then we got
involved with the voting because we realized that change starts
at the polling place. So if you are a registered voter, you can
elected officials. The heart of the people. And that's why we
came out today working with the voting registration to that
very good. Now, this got so bad that on meet the press, and I
think it was was Andrea was enry Mitchell who was hosting it.
No, he could have been I didn't watch it. Chip is out. So yeah,
chip has done chip, he got 4 million bucks to walk.
I thought it was more for Okay, good. Yes, for this is. Let me
see. What do I have here? Hi, I have here. gentleman by the name
of Jason Riley. And Jason Riley is on the editorial board of the
Wall Street Journal. Obviously, Uncle Tom, as I've seen the
Black Twitter exclaim. And he, he's asked the last question
just before they go into commercial break. And he says
the truth. And it gets everyone gets so befuddled. Now, this is
one of those rare cases where it'd be fun to see the video you
have Jane Harman, the former Congresswoman, she's rolling her
eyes. And Andrea Mitchell that just tries to dump out of you
can almost hear the producer going get him off, go to
commercial, commercial. And then she also says something very
interesting about the revs mission to Missouri. Here's
Jason Riley, a black man black on the editorial board of the
Wall Street Journal. Also, he wrote a book, which I think is
referenced in this clip. Before we
go, I want to ask you about Ferguson because you've written
a whole book, please stop helping us how liberals make it
harder for blacks to succeed. What we've seen in Ferguson
certainly shows the disengagement between a local
police force and the community.
You could say that I mean, I don't want to litigate this in
the press. If the officer used excessive force. I think he
should be prosecuted. But at the same time, let's not pretend
that our morgues and cemeteries are full of young black men,
because cops Shooting them. The reality is that it's because
other black people are shooting them. And we need to talk about
black criminality. Blacks are
only three, you just see the control I'm going.
relation, but they're 50% of homicide victims in this
country, and 90% of those victims are killed by other
black people. And we start to talk about that.
We certainly saw that the blacks were the victims of the looting.
The same time at the same time, Andrea, Andrea, you're losing
it. You got to get this guy off the same weekend that this went
down in Ferguson, we had 26 shootings in Chicago. But Al
Sharpton didn't head to Chicago, he headed to St. Louis because
he has an entirely good agenda, which is just a shade of white.
Well, that
is actually not talking to MCs, actually. They're in a peace
mission today. But before I go, he was on a peace mission. Peace
Mission. I say
Sharpton is the one that's promoting the vote get out the
vote more than any of them. Yeah. Well, if you really want
to know what Rahm is, you know, the problem is blacks aren't
stupid. Well, and
this and this is what slays me is that the people who are
propagating this, I might point out a lot of them white are
really the most racist MFC in the world by the even thinking
by acting like they're so dumb.
Yeah, no, it's, it's insulting. Anyway, we're the racist. Rachel
Maddow, of course, who would call us you and I the racist,
borderline racist
your
analysis.
But emphasis, one guy wrote an emphasis I checked, you actually
got a nasty note from somebody who went on about using the Ben
Shapiro clip. And so he's like to skate. The guy has been a
subscriber to the newsletter since 2011. He's never given the
show a nickel. I mean, it doesn't really take that much to
box. And you've at least contributed to the to the show.
But to think that you can be a bit listening to the show for
Dynamo five years minimum, and then never contributed a nickel,
you just are essentially just taking what you can get for free
and then to have the gall to make programming suggestion is
beyond me,
format and programming recommendations. Rachel Maddow,
MSNBC, again, who were just this is they're they're loving it.
CNN has the caliphate. And MSNBC really took Ferguson, but
they're mixing it up and Maddow got really confused.
Initial crisis in Ferguson was the police shooting this past
weekend of that unarmed 18 year old Mike Brown. That crisis was
created by that police shooting. Police behavior then also
created the following crisis, which was the warzone style
incompetent, extreme use of force police rioting. That's
secondary crisis.
I'm sorry, the police were writing.
Well, looks like it to me. I would say yes.
Okay. All right. Now, if you want the person who's going to
give you the towel, remember, this is a woman that I met when
Mickey and I were in DC, for we went there for the movie
screening that turned out to be an Obama Care plug. And she
showed up. The only Congress, the only representative in
Congress who was not allowed to vote from the District of
Columbia, Washington, DC. Eleanor Holmes Norton. Oh, God.
And we've played many clips of her she is a out and out. She'll
a horrible person who calls up people. Somewhere we have that
clip. She's, yeah, I don't see you on my donor list anywhere.
So yeah, this is obviously a problem. Maybe, you know,
maybe you want to call me back, which is totally illegal. And
you're in Congress. And although she's not really in Congress,
she's like, she's there. She's not allowed to vote. Yes. And
she's a non voting member of Congress, which is screwy. And
of course, she gets really constantly reelected. She's just
a troublemaker,
big troublemaker, but does raise a lot of money for her non vote.
But I believe she has influence she is a member of the Black
Caucus. And she is the tell whenever you want to know what
the agenda is. She just sees blatant, just like she'll call
someone and say you're not on my donor list. I don't know if we
should be talking. She will tell you exactly what the messaging
is. If it seemed like this guy who was and of course MSNBC,
like they were reading off a script as he is handing the
questions to
the problem, Congresswoman is that when you don't really
represent a community, and you aren't an elected official, you
may even actually fear what you don't know and fear going out
there and it has so much to do with the lack of representation.
communities, frankly, the lack of democratic processes that are
being not being carried out in places like Ferguson, that just
don't represent the people they speak to and that they're
elected to represent.
Yeah, it's very interesting to note here you have this mostly
white police force and a mostly black community. But I'm really
perplexed about why most of the elected officials are white as
well. Is there something about the way elections are done in
Missouri or in the county?
Yeah, a bit. It's fraud. I bet they're rigging the machines.
That's, that's
troublesome. Usually, you get a minority community or a
community that becomes mostly minority, you get some diversity
of representation. So you may have an elected leadership, as
well as a police force that does not feel that they are truly
representative of the community. And that's poison.
Gonna kill Black boys. And you
know, what, listen to this guy. So participation in the
electoral process to make sure that your vote and that you do
vote and that later complain when your lack of voting brings
up issues like this. I mean, the fact that black people
hate black community, black community, you see what happens
when you don't have your own elected officials out there
people who have had experiences similar to your own? I don't
understand that that again, there may be something about the
way the elections are conducted. What is
she driving at the way the elections? Is? She's Is this a
second an accusation? Make it? Is there something coming? Is
there some revelation of fraud or voter fraud or redistricting
fraud or something bad? Because she said it twice in that
county? If I were in that committee to the first thing I'd
be doing is organizing voters to go to the polls in November.
Yeah, that's what the rev is doing. Yeah, that's what, that's
what this is for. So
somebody saw this, they did some, they looked at some
demographics, they looked some some census studies. And they,
they saw that something that was under their underrepresented,
they could take some seats. And I mean, it just like, it was
like, I guess it could Ching came up from in somebody's some
strategist, hey, it's gonna happen in a number of places
before the, well, they don't have much time for 2014. But by
2016, that this is like a test run, I believe, and you're going
to see it elsewhere, where they're going to need to get the
vote out, because they don't want to take a chance.
Especially if they're, you know, they don't know who they're
going to run, they're gonna have to run a white woman for
president and they're gonna, they gotta get the, I don't
know, this is gonna be a tough one, because they're gonna have
a list. It's going to be Elizabeth Warren. And the more I
look at it,
what I find fascinating, is people emailing and saying, No,
ma'am. And even Kareem Abdul Jabbar wrote in an op ed in
time. And I'd like what he writes the first thing he says,
This is not about race, it's about poverty. Well, yeah,
that's partially true. But you really are obfuscating the
obvious that the politicians really do not care about you,
not about you, not about me, he kind of a John King, they only
care if you vote for them to either put them in power or
maintain their power because that's what the system is. And
it's not any different. This is, this is how human nature works.
Except we now we have this. We have just fabulous ways to
manipulate the message with social media and the news cycle.
It's all tied in and everybody's married to each other and it's
completely incestuous. And, and so I get messaging like, well,
you know, this is just a setup for the federalisation of the
police. Yeah, okay, fine. No, you don't
need a federal Oh, people aren't gonna like a bunch of
Yes, control jersey. People are completely docile. Completely
docile. They will do whatever they're told.
Yeah, bullcrap by these by the people rule follower.
So if the rule is that we
have to do it, then I'll do it. That's right. rule followers.
I'm a rule follower. So Amy Goodman, of course went to
Ferguson. She
did they have the I bet you that these news people been you know,
they they have I'm sure they're staying at the same hotel. They
all gotta be having sex hanging out blowing. Amy Goodman? Yes.
Oh, come on. Silent waters run deep, John.
No, I've been getting no comment on that. Whatever the case, they
had a couple of interesting people on the show, including
the guy that we're talking about the militaristic police and then
this Bearcat anecdote, these were good clips. They're gonna
take a little longer than I want, but I think it's a point
we've made on the show a million times, but let's make the point.
Now on because they've made the point about the Ferguson Police
being armed to the gills from Department of Homeland Security
gear. Yeah. So we have surplus, right? Surplus. You know, can I
ask? Here's an interesting question. You know, they have
these this lot of this gear like the Bearcat we're going to
discuss in a second
now bear cat. I don't know what to me a bear cat is a scanner,
but I guess that's just a bear
cat is a big, it's an armored carrier personnel. Karen. Okay,
good. Now, do you remember when we're the discussion, there's
all this gear. There's these huge personnel carriers. These
there's one thing I don't have the clip of it. But there's some
sort of anti mine divide the thing that they've some of the
cities don't want because it tears up the streets. And it
drives and they've given them to a bunch of municipalities. Don't
you remember when the Iraq War began these soldiers all
bitching about there? They didn't have any armor at all?
They didn't have they had the people from United States had to
send them kevlar vests and all the rest. Yeah. So we go from
that, to surplus of such an extreme. There's something wrong
with this picture is all I'm trying to say whatever the case
is playing a couple of these clips militaristic police part
one major scale from what everything that I could tell,
but yet they were loaded for war.
Right. And I think that, you know, they're, they're the
obvious problems when we see the weapons, but the uniforms
matter, when when police officers are wearing camouflage,
it sends a very clear message as
like, you can't see them in the sand to
the community that they're supposed to be serving. It also
affects the mindset of the police officer himself. You
know, the, the idea that, you know, when we take domestic
police officers and we train them, like soldiers, and we give
them military gear, and we dress them up, like soldiers, and we
tell them they're fighting a war, you know, war on crime or
war on terror. They're going to start to see themselves as
soldiers. And that's just a mindset. It's not the really
isn't appropriate for domestic policing. I think you saw that
in the way that they responded to protest, not just a Ferguson,
but also a lot of the crackdowns on the occupied protesters on
the crackdowns at the political conventions over the years. I
mean, this is this has become our default response to protests
in the US. And it's something that's, you know, I think it'd
be very antagonistic toward the very idea of free speech in the
First Amendment.
Yeah, this is yeah, this is Radley Balko, who wrote a book
on the militarization of the American police departments. And
he has he has a number of stories he's on for quite a
while, but this one about the Bearcat kind of amused me this
is the this is a discusses this, this device or this personnel
carrier,
but you know, I've written a lot about the Bearcat. This is one
of the new pieces of equipment that we have, because of us,
DHS, France. And this is something that's made by a
company called Winco. And a few years ago, I wrote about a town
in New Hampshire that sort of rebelled against this, their
town was gonna buy a Bearcat with one of these DHS grants.
And what I thought was fascinating was I interviewed
somebody from the Lego Company and asked him about this. And he
said, No, this is all overblown that, you know, if a bear cat
shows up on the scene, it's much more likely to be filled with
crisis negotiators and psychiatrists than it is with
you know, military militarized cops. And I found the video that
Lenco sends to police departments across the country
to market the scene where they send them, so they'll want to
buy a Bearcat with with this DHS money in the video shows,
camouflage clad police officers, you know, piled into the
Bearcat, it shows up they get out they start shooting things.
One point it pokes a hole into a building and injects tear gas,
and it was all set to thunderstruck. These are not
images and sounds of a crisis negotiator crisis negotiators or
de escalation experts. This was all about militarism. This is
all about conflict and aggression.
Why is everyone so surprised? Of course we've been talking about
this very subject for years. But turn on your television. Just
look at the look at your movie. Look at this video game. What
are you are you people not
Lenco armour.com as you want to see this thing this thing looks
like an armored truck. It's a funny just looking thing. And
then every is all the photos and everything are just more of the
same of these cops. They look like a bunch of they look like
the I don't see the history of the cops they show in the Lengow
webpage and the ISIS guys there's just a bunch of you know
show voters they got to they got their faces covered so you can't
recognize it's just ridiculous.
Well, we're living in in Fairy dirt landmines, Disney with
Here's how we live, this is what we want. And I'm not against
cops, but I think there's a lot of misguidance and it's no worse
than the misguidance that if you go out and you're testify and
you're you're protesting by saying Hands up, don't shoot,
that's not a protest. That's not a good slogan. Whoever thought
that was a good slogan is stupid. This is not how you do
it. This is not how you chip make change,
and how to how do you and here's the other thing that in New
York, the bridge the there was a sympathy protest by the
Palestinians to the Ferguson thing. I was like, we're for
Gaza. We're for Ferguson. Why don't we usually out of control?
I
think everyone should pour a bucket of ice water over their
head if you're against the militarization of
America. Yeah, it'd
be a better use of the ice that is the twisted thing at the same
time you have that bull crap going on? It is this it is
sickening. For people to be on this seesaw, this roller coaster
this this left right whip it's very very poor for your health.
And what's gonna make it worse for your health are new shows
coming onto the fall schedule like, like stalker, which I have
a little clip of
how perfect Yeah, this is nice.
Over 6 million people are stalked each year in the United
States. Driven by rejection, and usually I really want to work
this out. Jealousy, revenge. Social media is the number one
reason stalking cases have tripled in the last decade.
Anyone can be a stalker. Anyone can be a victim
if you listen to this clip, objectively, you will hear the
the woman screaming in the background is a loop. It's to
say it's a it's a loop. It's funny.
Anyone listen to it a stalker. Anyone can be a victim
is exactly the same loop. It's I put it in there. Oh, okay.
I'm glad it was so slick. Wait
a minute, you sweetened you sweetened your clip.
I sweetened my Clint liar. But that was in there, the screaming
woman in the explosion. And it was and it was like a Wilhelms
cap scream. I mean, it's like it's like an evergreen scream as
always. That's why
you can't fool me I kept those things. But that's that's some
shitty as television. Promo producer. And it was you Okay,
Boston. Here's, here's something that is very bothersome. And
we'll get to this in a moment with the caliphate as well. For
two, three weeks, we saw the Palestinian mothers, fathers,
boys, girls, men, women, children being blown to bits.
Everything shown by rarely even a warning, some of these images
may shock you. But yet, now all of a sudden, we're not seeing
anything. We can't see a bloody boy on the street. We have to
It's too shocking. We have to put a big, faded bubble over it.
Does anyone realize I think anyone really the problem is
when someone when you the reality versus the Hollywood
version. Well, it's like gunshots. If you are shooting a
gun, if you're around gunfire, people often say it was I was
like firecrackers or it's not the you know, it's not the sound
that we're used to on television, your big cannons go
on. Big ak 40 sevens. So it's disappointing. And whenever it
doesn't match, good or bad, the decisions are made to stop
except when it comes to something they clearly is meant
to send a message to you. So there was another shooting. And
by the way, they're bringing in big guns for this for this
Ferguson stuff. Chris Cuomo, who is son of Governor Cuomo, who I
think came from ABC News. This guy is all in he's, he's he
loves it. He's, I would say, Anderson Cooper should be afraid
of this guy. And he's on CNN, he's that he does the morning
show. I think he should be Anderson should watch it in mind
his p's and q's. And he's on the street with Don Lemon. Of
course, when you have DOM with his shirt open, you know, it's
called Open Don's you know, in the war zone,
and there were these soldiers that lurk and
they're evaluating this tape of this other kid. A couple of
interesting data points in this who apparently approaches the
police with a knife and winds up getting shot, and they're
showing you the video. Well, listen, my producer said they're
about to shoot here and they wanted us to pause and take a
look. Now
why don't we stop it there, I think it's important to bring
the chief in, we stop because after that point in the tape,
nothing happens except his being shot. There is no movement with
his arm, there is no raise of the arm, there is no increase in
acceleration, which
now they're discussing the actually the most important part
of this video why a police officer shot him, but they're
not showing that to you. And they just say, No, we're going
to tell you what happens. But we're not going to show there's
no added value to showing you this, this kid getting shot.
Which is, it can only mean you're trying to massage the
message. Set up the stage, we have the visual we, you almost
believe you have seen it now because you're going to hear in
this. In this clip, you will hear the shots. But the video
freezes. You don't see anyone firing or this kid going down
and running Alfred
Hitchcock doing this.
We just have seen enough bad things. We don't want people to
watch the actual shots. But why not?
Have you Halo? Grand Theft Auto Five? Do you think we can handle
it? We can shoot a couple of hookers for for benefit.
Are you saying what are you trying to tell us? Here? You Are
you implying that they didn't shoot the guy? And there's no
no, I am saying that. Of course the question is why did he shoot
what was he doing was their aggression was bigger. Simple
question. Why can we not see this? Why we see everything
else. We see Palestinian children being blown up. We see
movies where horrific things happen. We pay good money to go
see horror movies. Why will you not show us this? Why not? What?
What possibly
my thoughts? Well, let's
listen to the clip. You've
watched the video. And what is your assessment? Because you
know, first there was a story that he's had his hand up. You
then said well, he lunged at officers. I don't see that in
the video. But the question he
was wielding a knife overhead, they're having a discussion
about something that won't show us and they're disagreeing on
what happened. This is crazy
that he had his hand he has hand in his pocket. And he then takes
his hand out and keeps it low. Right and we believe from the
police that there is a knife in there. He then walks doesn't
listen to the officers gets on top of the curb. Okay, it was
towards the officers and then get shot
we have we have analysis, good watch for us.
And she, I mean, you hear the gunshots. He had his hands down
at that point, did he so what happened? He did the suspect
came towards the officers and said shoot me now shoot. So
again,
they're not telling you what you didn't see because they pause
the tape. What is this
now kill me now. The entire encounter lasted about 15
seconds, he approaches the first officer heads towards the driver
side, backs up a little bit then goes towards the passenger side.
He starts to move towards the police officer that was in the
passenger seat who's out of the car. He has his gun out he's
giving verbal directions, Stop, drop the knife, stop the drive.
But he continues to move towards the officer. The officer even
takes a step a step and a half backwards to try and put some
distance between him an edge weapon a knife within 21 feet is
a lethal weapon.
This is the Chief of Police telling us what happened but we
weren't allowed to see. Tell me John, what is why is this?
Wow, this is a little more if you want to just hear it all
out? Well, it sounds like it's going to be the same. Well,
there's
one extra data point that I think is well put it through and
then I'll tell you what I think coming through stand back here
comes
people in the community, including the guy who takes the
video says we know this guy, the store owner knows this guy. He's
known to have some problems, mental whatever they are, he has
them. Why isn't that something that the police weren't told in
the 911? Call? And does it speak to community policing that
knowing who you're around not obviously knowing everything
about everybody? But that's the second we've been talking a lot
about community policing and
also the use of force is it appropriate? Why use buses? Why
not use
a stun gun now? Why not use a stun gun? John if the guy has a
knife, and we just heard within 21 feet that is a an attack with
a lethal weapon an edge weapon?
Yeah, why they Taser him?
Why? Well, do you have an idea? The Chief of Police will tell us
I just wonder if you
want to hear what he says. Well, certainly
a taser is an option that's available to the officers. But
tasers aren't 100% So you've got an individual armed with a knife
really moving towards you. Not listening to any verbal commands
continues to shoot me now kill me now. tasers aren't 100%. If
that Taser misses, that subject continues on and hurts an
officer you
think the use of force was appropriate in this case?
Really? I didn't know tasers were not 100% seems to work
pretty effectively from what I've seen. Well I
use them at all if you're going to use that as an excuse by the
way. What was your tase anybody?
Yeah, killed it but lots of people die from taser.
This is just to indicates to me that we're dealing with a
controlled scripted situation.
Thank you. Yes.
And is that they if they actually showed the ridiculous
pumping of the led into this character it would have actually
incited some serious problems and may have bring it might burn
down St. Louis. Gotcha. So you pull back on this because it's
this whole thing is the got a director and say now we can't go
that far. Yeah, that guy's dead tough, tough crap he's dead. But
we can't we you know we're here for a reason the reason is to
get out to black vote and we have this thing under control.
We're on a peace mission we're on a peace mission when
the blacks or if anybody saw this just a gun down of this
poor bastard who is apparently an idiot just gunned down with
like, it sounds like they unloaded his weapon into the
guy. This could trigger that would be the straw that would
break the camel's back and it could trigger massive real riot
Nazis bull crap that's going on. But massive real burned down St.
Louis. So there's
an extra edge on Chicago. While we're at it, there's an extra an
extra dimension to this. The police released this video,
which is also highly irregular. For them to they released this
video in its entirety where you do see the kid being shot. But
this is one of those instances where no one showing it. So it's
they I think I guess they did a kind of a twofer. But we're
leasing but we're not going to show it. We're going to analyze
it but only with what we say we saw.
Yeah, and this is similar to the tapes, the Sandy Hook tapes, 911
and golf. Nine of well, that Sandy Hook is the best recent
example where they release the tapes. And then everyone there's
a gentleman's agreement amongst the media, which is by the way,
I'm gonna remind people that you're listening to this show
for a reason. Yeah, it's because the media is no good. Is busted
broke the only way to put it
just on Sandy Hook, the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission, it
will be releasing its final report in a couple of weeks.
They say it is unlikely it will include an analysis of Adam
Lanza. Hamden mayor Scott Jackson says our report is not
going to be a deconstruction of Adam Lanza. Well, isn't that
kind of the whole point? Because why did he do it? Anyway, beside
No, just because I had that story. So I'm
watching Amy Goodman. And she's got some woman's an old lady
named Hedy Epstein.
Why does that name ring a bell? It sees a 90
year old woman who just keeps getting arrested for protests.
Okay, all these people should stop the violence. And she said,
I want you to listen to the introduction to her which is the
height of the Hedy Epstein. WTF part one
our guests Maria Chappelle Nadal, Missouri State Senator as
we end today's show, with Hedy Epstein. She is 90 year old
Holocaust survivor, who was rested on Monday in St. Louis,
when she was part of a protest outside of Governor Jay Nixon's
office. Eddie Epstein is co founder of the St. Louis
Palestine Solidarity committee and St. Louis branch of Jewish
Voice for Peace in 2011. She was part of the Gaza Freedom
Flotilla,
troublemaker, yeah.
Just a pro Palestinian self loathing Jew, by
the way. I hope I'm a troublemaker like that when I'm
90.
I hope you are too heady Epstein. Now play part two. And
there's a discrepancy here I want to discuss he's doing
the same kind of violence that I've observed when I was in the
Israeli occupied Palestine. The it's just abominable. What's
happening?
Where were you born?
I was born in Germany. And I left in May 1939. On hindered
transporter children's friends, transport to England. I came to
this country in May 1948. So what fuels
you keeps you going? By the way Happy Birthday you just
celebrated your 90th birthday.
Do you notice a discrepant piece of information or either that or
I'm completely oblivious to terminology nowadays
Abom and la mala Mala booboo, whatever she said.
She said she they introduced her as a Holocaust survivor. And
that's the way she presents herself. Right? She left Germany
in 1939 on a on a on a kid transport to England where she
went to United States. So are you telling me that if you were
ever a German I guess or a German Jew, you're a Holocaust
survivor, even though you never went to a concentration camp?
Well, let
me let me ask you a question. Did she die at the hands of the
Nazis? No Holocaust survivor.
Well I apparently that's what it means nowadays. She wasn't in
the Holocaust, she wasn't taken into an internment camp as a
child or anything else. But she calls herself a Holocaust
survivor. So apparently now the left and I would accuse them.
And I just asked her, does she present herself that way? Or is
that? Amy Goodman?
And I believe if you do some research, you'll find that
that's why everybody presents. Okay, that's different than get
dread to get street cred for being a Holocaust survivor for
being alive. We're never part of that at all. That's what what
we're dealing with. You been in the media? Yes. In the media?
Yeah. Just I would just say that's a lie.
And that is your public media, the Oh, so trust and mistakes
get made. We make them all the time, but that it's just color.
It's just set up. It's just been the population. It's
manipulation. Every single bit of it is manipulation. This is
there are scripts running so far and wide. Right now. People are
being called back from the Hamptons. Oh, man, we got crisis
firms, PR firms, people have gone on cell phones and taken
choppers back into Manhattan. We got we got stuff to do people.
We got campaigns to runs, we got signs to print. We got a John
provoca tours to send out. But that of course is really the
problem now that we're talking about. Let everyone go into the
green zone to protest. Fabulous. All right. I think we're done
with the
for now for now. Ferguson thing. This I wish you hoped it would
have hoped that it ended by now. But they're going to milk it for
all it's worth
first. Don't shoot.
And so we'll we
will be like I said, six people were killed in Chicago just as
this thing is going on.
No one cares. And you're the president. Everyone's in on it.
If you see this in any other light, then I'm sorry. There's
no hope for you. This is so obvious. And yes, it is that
cynical. It is that cynical that people really, really will do
anything. And this is what they wanted with Trayvon. This is
this is what has been going on. This is it's the whole plans.
The whole idea. We got the women. We got women by saying
Republicans like killing fetuses. I'm sorry, I got it
mixed up. Republicans want guns which will kill your children in
school. The Republicans hate women, because they know they
want to be in their in their vagina. These are the words that
are used. I'm not this is not Adam talking. And so I think
we've got the women printing covered. So why Yeah, why worn
women? Why would a woman in America today vote for any
Republican candidate? Not me that no sense it makes no sense.
So that so we've got that one. And that check marks done. Now I
also think, really, if you look at is it 13% of the of the
population, I think is what Jason Riley was saying. If
African American is only 30% of the population, which seems low.
Okay, it
could be that it was closer to 20. But it could be 13. Because
the Hispanics has gone away, but they don't count. They're not
black, you say? Right. And they're also religious, mostly.
And it's a real problem that
they don't know how to do the Latino. They tried that they're
trying the Latino thing with the immigration reform. Yeah, that
is that as far as that's how this is how you have to look at
it. And then that's how you stay in control of the American
corporation. America, Inc. Yes. That's how you stay in control
of it. Why don't we slow down for just one moment, as I thank
you for your courage. And say in the morning to you John C.
Dvorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Adam curry and also in the
morning dollar ships at sea boots on the ground, feet in the
air. subs in the water, and all the Dames and all the nights out
there and in
the morning to everyone in the chat room. No agenda stream.com.
Good to see you all there. App developers, we we have changed
our stream locations. Please make sure you have new stream
news streams updated in your apps, as people make apps and
then they forget about them. And also I have to say it's hard
because sometimes you're forced the way I started the way Apple
does things. You're forced into hard coding certain information
resources. Or maybe if it's maybe just poor coding, but you
know, things should happens. But then to you, you have to update
the app, which is crappy on two ends. One you have to do the
work submitted to Apple, they have to approve it. And then you
need to presume that everyone's going to update the app, which
I'd say is probably below percentages.
Yeah. And this will be the last time that we have to make a
change like this.
Yeah, I had no idea We have pretty much control over pretty
much everything now. I mean, control is not the right word,
but we have access to changing information. Within our, within
our reach,
we have control of the vertical control of the horizontal.
That's a reference.
Whenever you know what you're talking about,
that was from one of those twilight zone like shows, it was
the Twilight Zone, the outer limits,
and in the morning to our artists.
Yeah, let's talk about the art for a second. First, let
me thank Alexandra nori who delivered the art for us for
episode 644. Nice job.
We had a lot of really good art. Out of the blue we had this
habit it's very cyclical. Sometimes we get like five
pieces and we get 550 piece. It
was a whole page just for that one episode. That hasn't
happened in a long time.
Now there were the piece I liked the most. I want to make sure we
that this gets out.
Well, we decided together. Yes, we decided
together because it was good because we had to vote we yeah,
we decided together. But I want to mention the one piece a
couple of pieces that I thought were just so outstanding that we
didn't have to argue about and one of them I thought was just
personally I was going to use the hid the Joker. This is I was
going to use it in the newsletter and I decided not to
Anyway, okay, and this was a 20 watt bulbs cheap slate. I liked
that one too. That was outstanding piece very original
and great. And an mention because I don't think 21 Ball
has been doing some really good original, really original good
ideas. But he apparently never got the memo. He did another
piece for the show called League have no agenda with no agenda
show Devorah curry 644, we do not want to see the episode
numbers because we can't use we can't use it as the next week if
we wanted to write. So please don't put the episode number in
the art. Or if you do, then just keep resubmitting the exact same
piece with another episode. And I don't think you want to do
that. So I ended up using another piece that I liked a lot
for the newsletter, which was the John melon head carry.
The watermelon on his head
is wearing a watermelon cap like that. If you remember that
little kitten that had that watermelon cap, it was popular a
few years back
Oh, you mean the one you had on your on your Skype icon for a
decade, my Skype icon
for a decade, wearing a football helmet made out of a small
lemon. And anyway, just wanted to say that there's we get a lot
of good art. And there's other pieces on there that are
dynamite. But those are the ones I wanted to mention.
And just thanks again to everyone who submits and who
participates in this. It makes such a difference when you open
up a podcast app. Or you look at your iTunes podcasts or wherever
you get in it. And there's a there's a new piece of art it it
jumps out at you. Yeah, people get used to the same art. And
now we finally figured out how to make a change in most podcast
apps. It's good that it's fun when you're driving in the car.
You got it on the mid console there. It looks professional
thank you and let's face it unlike some people some people's
opinions of podcast we try to be professional not just amateurs
who have a passion
right amateurs with a passion is is seems to be no agenda
show to amateurs with passion and no listeners.
But yeah, only we didn't have a lot of contributors for this
show talking about no listeners but I want to mention the two
that did for the executive producer chips although I'm
gonna give it to a third I'm gonna tell I'll tell you why as
we get get there but sports junk in Arlington, Texas became an
instant Night. Night. It's P daily and we want to you want to
read as noses thanks for not calling me out as a douchebag on
Sunday show. I've been listening since the beginning. So I needed
a really, really big D douching. And he's that immediately.
Okay, let's hand it out right now. Let's not wait.
You've been de deuced

hope to see you again. And he's got it. He wants to be the no
edge of the night who's who says Nick? he'd send another note and

it's underwrite. No, they play. Screw it. And it really they
just send you money. Yeah. Isn't it crazy? Maybe it's an
outstanding product. Guy just so I'm so happy. We're not rich.
We're not rich guys, but I'm so happy. I don't have to suck some
advertiser. I don't have to have a meeting. I don't have to sound
all happy and chipper.
Right. And then yeah, and it's really good for me because I was
really almost impossible for me to sound happy and chipper. I've
tried. I know I owe my happiness coach to the harmonica guy or
sir Scott,
thank you and sorry and thank you for defending our model
recently on the whatever show I saw you Oh, that was good. I'm
happy. I was
I wanted to go further that with my argument, but I decided to
pull back the reins Johnny. Good, good. Good Works guy Hey

Executive Producer Hey, John unambitious has been twice
weekly. Hey, John and Adam, your show has been the twice weekly
audio for my commute here in Gitmo east from day one. I now

robbing bastards in the UK Inland Revenue. That's no good.
So here it is. If not too long, could you please play the Gitmo

Sir Ian, a letter to Baron in Groningen.
Groaning, groaning and groan ah, sent in $199. And I believe
because the the Euro had slipped slipped a little
it was supposed to be 200. And he just slipped under the number
there. Yes. So
I want to put him in at 199 as a because it has intentions. Yes.
Be at Associate Executive. I completely agree. But I have to
instead of instead of once
for this very reason that they have the Chiron operators on the
so called news channels are working overtime. Because first
day it was you know, we had this $133 million ransom that was
offered that was demanded for this journalist. And they have
to turn it back to 132 million because of course they asked for
100 that 100 million euros, apparently. Yeah. So no one
knows what to do anymore, though. Confused? Yeah. Well,
thank you very much, sir Lennart.
Yeah, he didn't. There's no note. Just bear in Landers. He's
a baron.
You know, I'm flying. I'm flying to Amsterdam on Monday.

art. I
will say maybe oil painting. I will say that. Everyone who I
hold dear to my heart is going to be there. Which is why it's I
understand if you don't want to come because that's just you.
Not a problem. But you do belong there. No
doubt. is Leo going to be there? Hey, ah,
all right. Very funny. Hey, I got a gig. I've almost forgot to
tell you.
Well, let me first say that I think people should note that we
do have another show coming up on Sundance, it's just a few
days off and to go to divorce.org/na and become an
instant Night.
Good idea.
Nobody would just have to the first time I offered the 666
deal. Nobody has jumped in on that. And so I'm gonna it's not
gonna we're not gonna get a lot of 666 except on the show. Maybe
You gotta get
the free. And guess what I got a gig as
a DJ No. Voiceover I do declare,
I've been asked to do Frank Underwood for a small company
presentation. What? I've been asked to do a voiceover for an
in house company presentation.
And so you're gonna using Mike Underwood voice. That's
what they want me to do.
He got it. Well, let's hear a little bit of it. You had to
write or did you have to audition? I did. I did. I did.
And you sounded more like Frank Underwood than all the other
auditioners? Apparently, yeah, but the good reads from the
script. Do you want to hear it? I think I have I want to read
just read a couple of lines from the script and Frank Underwood's
voice I have the I have the audition I think oh, you have it
on tape. Yes, somewhere I have it like I said the audition that
would be because then we know how you close the deal. It's
good you finally
nicely why the Cordish companies one of the largest gaming
entertainment and real estate developers in the entire country
has partnered with Penn national gaming collectively they have
built up probably shouldn't do that. I don't know if they want
that sounds like you. Oh, they said this and I said look, I
really don't have they want to do it yesterday I said I really
can't do this and I need direction. I said we'll just
read this and then we'll direct you later and they said do it
slower but they like it. They like it enough to Okay,
well they probably direct you right into it.
Yes, thank you. Thank you for your congratulations I'm very
happy.
I think it's great. It's about a time
and it's not a national commercial or anything I don't
get residuals but
it I get some more work. All right, it's also good because
you get anecdotal material for the show. Exactly. And get out
of the house just the way I say what I want next I want someone
to hire me
that's what I wanted and we have a whole commercial cartoon
series ready for that one you've written script let's handle a
little bit of karma for everybody which I always like to
include some job karma because even if you are royalty and of
the roundtable here on no agenda it's always handy to have some
you never can have too much jobs,
jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs that's both for jobs.
And as John said, please help us out for Sunday show it is the
only way we keep the show on the road because trust me I'm not
gonna get a lot of Frank Underwood gigs
devora.org/and a
course you can always help us out by doing one very simple
thing going out and propagating our formula our formula
is this we go out we get people in the mouth
What the hell was that? Whoa. where that came from
was all that I don't know. I was trying to get banned came
through your place. Those guys I was trying to
I was trying to play the the marching pigs which fits so
nicely then another marching band show Oh, here it is
this world
that's right. We know marching pig. We know the score. I want
to say hello to our friends in Australia. We have a lot of
listeners in Australia. Traditionally they are big
supporters of the program Australia and New Zealand but
Australia is bigger.
Yeah New Zealanders are more Yeah, they we don't have as
many.
And you'll recall we were following the elections and they
have this guy and it's pretty funny this Clive Palmer kind of
the
blowhard. Yeah, a lot of blowhards in Australia. I like
this
guy, if only because he's great material for our show. And I
think he also represents in a way, the Australian I think
Australia I was there in 1990 I believe that's before the guns
were taken away and I did a documentary and I went out in
the Outback and I went on the mail truck and for three days
you deliver the mail and, and I drank. I drank drink dispensers
and bachelors ball. I've talked about that, haven't I? What
that? Yes, yeah. Okay, I guess we don't have to reiterate
everyone. No, no, no, no, no, no. I bought the ute.
Yeah, I bet heard that back to you.
And I think in some ways, I feel Australians have been castrated.
The bold if you were a little bit
but Clive Palmer brings it back particularly when it comes to
the Chinese one They're not saying oh, we on the show say
all the time. Of course, he is he is protecting his turf.
Here's a little package about his most recent statements about
the diners and
arbitration against these Chinese mongrels. I'm saying
this because the economist because they shoot their own
people, they haven't got a justice system and they want to
take over this country.
Strong words by Clive Palmer against China raised eyebrows on
Monday night's q&a.
The Federal locode only raised eyebrows here in America, we'd
be outrage, we'd have time. For mongrels, you should have said
the eat dogs but didn't go.
The Federal MP had been questioned over allegations he
funneled cash from his port Palmer operations to help fund
his election to
immediately they're going to try and mirror and smear the guy.
Palmer strenuously denied the claims at one point accusing ABC
host Tony Jones of being influenced by Rupert Murdoch,
because it's a lie.
It's not true. And we'll deal with that matter. You've been
worrying too much of the Australian and what Rupert
Murdoch is telling you from New York. It's just
not true. He then deflected his attention to his former Chinese
business partners. The one
stop the fact that the Chinese government wants to bring
workers here to destroy our wage system. One Stop the fact that
they want to take over our ports and get our resources for free.
Okay, and I don't mind standing up against the Chinese bastards
and stop him from doing it.
The mining magnate has been accused by Chinese own Citic
Pacific of siphoning more than $12 million to fund his personal
interests and accusation he has denied. Palmer said he'll be
taking the matter to court next week.
I like this guy. I like what he's just he's just saying it.
You have no cultural Marxism. No political correctness.
Yeah, there is plenty of it. There's probably more there than
there is here. And he won't get anywhere because of it. That's
my way of looking at
it already. He already has a vote. I mean, he is in?
Well, we'll see how far it gets. You said
something in the newsletter, which I was actually went and
found a clip about the Iceland volcano.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. So we should probably mention the Iceland
volcano.
But for a number of reasons. Because we have, as you know,
producers everywhere. It's what we call our listeners, their
producers, they produced the program in more ways than one by
sending us information. Because I don't know they're there.
It's color intelligence network.
We have our own EU, or intelligence network.
We have and we have our own independent intelligence
network, it works quite well for us write that
down, write that down. Okay, vast, independent intelligence
network. And we need some more with experts, and we need some
more work on the word. I like this. But it isn't intelligence
network. Unlike the New York Times, you know, they if they
want to go find someone in Iceland, they have a book and
they have a book isn't how it works. Or you call the resource
department and say what do we have in Iceland?
Or if they want you to leave the way they the way it's
compartmentalized is that they end up having to call a bunch of
different people in the company until somebody has an Iceland
stringer. They are somebody used to be nice and stringer they've
cut off most of these people.
But as a source, you get on lists. I used to be on lists
when I was at MTV, if there was a music story,
ya know, I'm on a bunch of lists. I'm on the list of ABC.
Still, the number of radio stations one sales went up here
or one in somewhere Minnesota,
I get voted off all islands, somehow. I think
you always get voted, unless you're calling them up and, you
know, reminding them that they you know, they should call you
once in a while. You'll never get called
back in the eight late 80s and 90s. I got called I think I
tweeted a link to the YouTube video where I was on the What's
that douchebag the who married Connie Chung Maury Povich show
yeah. Povich I Joan Rivers, I was always called on to do those
shows. It was a lot of fun. Yeah,
well don't have shows and he was totally fake. And courses. Yeah,
that's bogus. Give me go on. Okay.
So do you want the boots on the ground report first, and then
listen to what CNN has to say or what you said. When this
happened last time, I will remind you and I'll give you
this information. There was European airspace shut down. And
being an aviator, and having plenty of friends in aviation.
We went we're in constant contact and it was the most
beautiful flying weather ever. There was not a speck of
volcanic ash. But the computer models had calculated that this
was going to bring aircraft tumbling down all across Europe
as the global warming computer game computer mob. Yeah, same
computer models. People were stuck on vacations, they
couldn't get back. They were sleeping in airports for weeks.
You know, they were running out of money. There was no there
were no rental cars. It was terrible. It was a disaster. Yet
the skies were completely ash free for most of Europe. And it
was I didn't need money even had a jingle for it. It was So crazy
was a week. So CNN is now talking about this and they have
a name for it, which will, we'll be on the lookout for. And this
report is interesting because it does go back and tell you about
all the horrible things that happened, I presume or assume to
make you feel worried European travelers be warned. Seismic
authorities in Iceland have stats D Wait
a minute, that's me. I'm traveling to Europe on Monday. I
should be warned European travelers be warned. Seismic
authorities in Iceland have said that its largest volcano could
erupt at any time. On Monday. The area's suffered its biggest
earthquake since 1996. And molten lava is on the move.
So the reason we are reacting in this way is that one round of
quakes is bigger and more powerful than we've seen in a
long time in this area.
In 2010. air travelers around the world were massively
disrupted when another Icelandic volcano spewed an ash cloud with
glass like fragments high into European airspace. There was an
unprecedented grounding of flights across northern Europe
for six days, stranding millions of passengers. Some airlines
were furious at the shutdown, saying European authorities
overreacted it was
causing problems for millions of passengers. The airline's
themselves were losing a lot of money because they couldn't fly.
And the customer relations departments for their loans were
really suffering because they were taking huge numbers of
complaints, and has no solution
is then took days for airlines to get their planes and their
staff in the right places. Travelers going to airports each
day, only to be told they had no seats. Some had to vacate hotels
as reservations ran out, or credit cards did. Ports and
trains were swamped. Rental Cars abandoned after people drove
them one way to get closer to home. And airlines from Asia and
North America could not fly in and out of northern Europe
either. To our producer with boots on the ground. This this
is totally meant to just frighten you or whatever.
I like it.
I like it too. He says from Kristin. Kristen's female in
cell FOSS Iceland. Quick note here from Iceland cell phones is
about 100 miles from bada boom, Bada bing, bada Boom shakalaka
the quakes and magma have all been about five to 10 kilometers
deep and are not moving closer to the surface. So there's
nothing happening right away, if at all. This is just Icelandic
journalists that like to get their news to the world press.
Okay,
I believe it.
I believe it to why would they do that? That's what they do.
Well, there's still some has to blow up in Iceland one of these
days because he's
does Yeah, it is time for sure.
You know, this is this apparently is a whopper. It's
not part of the same chain as the other one to the root of the
historically that last one that went off has a sister next to
it. And that's the one that's supposed to go off next. Not
this one, which is over somewhere else.
That's all right,
whatever. It's okay. I think it'd be good or they're making
it you could get stuck over there. And under some
circumstance like you did when Mickey couldn't get back into
the
country. And then we could take cool pictures for the
newsletter. Yeah, great
pictures for the newsletter. You people were sympathetic. I think
it helped to show
your newsletter is a work of art man, I really have to say and I
got a I have in the show notes under clips and stuff. We'll put
a couple of pictures of that people made with the selfie
template that you
want somebody took the selfie template and I think the best
one I got it after I sent the newsletter out or otherwise I
would have included it. Which was just take the template as is
in draw two huge black alien. Yeah, the
alien one. Yeah. So alien is perfect. is outstanding. It
actually fits while its second half material. I don't know if
we should draw as well. But I got second half stuff deals with
aliens. But there's a couple of cool ones meet with Sharpton.
There's me with Leo.
Yeah, totally. Oh, one. Yeah, that's just guys have big heads.
Big heads rule on television. It's fact. It always works. We
have it documented by other experts. So I want to remind
people to go to varric.org/n A and give us a hand for the show
coming up on Sunday. Again, everyone's welcome. Any amount
is useful and helpful and keeps the keeps the show going. It's a
very good show.
I enjoy it. Sometimes I listened to our own show. And enjoy it. I
got a word that words mattered email from one of our knights
who was having a real hard time getting through your spam
filter. Sir d h slammer?
Yeah, dH slammer.
Did you did you fix that up? Did you see something reason he's
he's blacklisted with your system. I don't know. I don't
know why he needs help anyway. Another word, as we've been
trying to, I think we haven't used the word weird at all
during this broadcast, which is an hour and 15 minutes. Very
good. Well, thank you. We're very aware and trying to expand
our vocabulary and take it past the cliches. Well, not just the
cliches, but the very poor. limited vocabulary of today's
modern culture.
And you're gonna be hearing the truth of the matter more and
more
ah, about end of the day, I'm hearing that more and more this
is the end of the day. Yeah, at the end of the day, this is
coming back.
I don't like this.
There was there was a hope I don't pick that one up the end
of the day. Now, you won't do that. The end but I've heard
that many times at the end of the day, that one's coming up.
Um, we have a Mickey has a an assistant who comes by and helps
her once a week with some Photoshop stuff and she's 24 I
think and she's she's now Intuit she's trying to catch herself
because I remember the first time we used epic This is not
good, is it? No, that's not good. You should not be using
epic
wins anyone says the one that we got out of a room which I think
when we first started this was was amazing. Or fact of the
matter. One of the two.
I think it was amazing. Awesome.
Awesome. That much. It was amazing. The problem. That is
amazing around me now I go.
This is one of the most requested ringtones. Today, sir
DH timer says, I bet you are aware of the definition of the
word decimated. You use it in show 643 to describe what
looters did to a Target store
in Ferguson decimated?
Admittedly it is a rarely used word, but it's one of my pet
peeve words along with irregardless and etc.
Well, irregardless isn't a word. No,
that's why it's one of his pet peeves. People use that
irregardless?
Well decimate is a word decimate the
popular definition means to eliminate every 10th thing, not
bring it down to a 10th in size. That's his point. Well, the me I
think it's debatable.
I think it's debatable. Let's go decimating definition Oh, one in
every 10
As a punishment for the whole group.
It would make sense because the DESA, of course is 10 to just
kill the shard, and we have a large percentage. I think it's
just morphed. Historically, it means kill one in every 10 A
group of soldiers as a punishment for the whole group.
He says most long, long, long changed. You know, the penal
code code comes from the word penis. That doesn't mean you
know you write it on a demon. But
wait a minute. Really? Yeah. So how did that how did we go from
penis to the
penis, it was always about men were the ones committing all the
crimes. And it became the penal penal code. And wow, I didn't
know that. Check into it. I don't know the exact details.
This is nice making it up. I think you are
making a nice little factoid.
I like that Penal Code indeed. Okay, I guess we
would testimony testimony it used to be used to use had to do
a testes. And you give testimony mean that you'd hold your nuts,
you know, all your one hand up and one on your nuts. And when
gay
used to mean happy and frolicking used to mean Happy,
happy and fat used against the cigarette, cigarette and
douchebag used to mean a douche bag. do actual bag.
Wash yourself.
Precisely. I'm ready for this if you can think of crash map
payloads. There.
It is well known in political circles, media land who of
course operate together if you want the press to pay attention
to a story. A killer journalist. It usually helps.
Yeah, it draws attention to the situation.
It does. Now this has sparked so much in such a short amount of
time, including yet another statement from the President. Of
course, I went to look at the video. This is the beheading
video of James Foley. Okay, you have seen the video I presume,
John?
No, actually I avoided it. I figured it was a phony Video and
I wasn't gonna look at it because I'm sure it was well
produced.
Oh wow this is unfortunate. Okay, you
want me to go look at it now?
I think that would be valuable. Give me a link maybe a
link okay well let me just do be headed be headed that because
this to me was a non story so I wasn't well you can't say it's a
non story when oh it's not to me I said it to me I didn't it
wasn't something I was going to discuss I figured you might be
headed video what's the guy's name? Foley Foley fol Ewoks is
also just not our full it was probably
I haven't heard from him so I presume it's not while you're
looking for said video I shall explain what you see you and you
need to see this I cannot believe you didn't see this
alright, I don't like watching be heading Well the thing is you
don't see the beheading that's the whole joke.
Oh another one of those they fade
to black while he's using a very small knife to to carve into his
throat which produces no blood splatter whatsoever
fades to black it should because you cut that artery over there
and it's gonna go
aorta and then you see the next shot is what I think is just
about the worst Photoshop in the world including a phony drop
shadow of the guy's head on his back. Do you have the video yet?
I can't find it
okay, let me go to YouTube they must have it there it That's of
course you have it on YouTube. Well they might not.
Do I have to send you a link serious? I'll find it before
you have to send it don't worry. Okay, now I'm gonna it's gonna
go to be heading and YouTube behead fully. Now we're getting
some indoor Devorah Why do you want to be head fully?
I'm going to while you're looking for that
video shows Islamics fate be heading us journalist James
Foley. Yeah. ISB heads kidnapped journalist James. Okay, this
looks like yet. Oh, this video is no longer available because
the YouTube account has been terminated. Let me try another
one. Check it, this is no good. Try this one. Continue. I'm
going to while you okay, I'm watching it now. Okay.
This is kind of important. You need to listen to the sound and
it's a British guy with a British accent. The first you
see fully reading a script, which is either on a
teleprompter or a cue card. Typically, these things when
done in the desert, are done with a piece of paper. But I
guess they have big cue cards. You know how they read from
piece of paper to the cue cards. He's got a wireless lav
on which to get a wireless lav nice, yeah, this is nice
touch, which then in the next shot is I mean, you'll see the
the guy in the black next to him doesn't have a knife and then
they cut to the next shot. And now this guy has the wireless
mic on and now he has a knife and then he goes to cut his
throat. But you'll see that they fade to black. And I'll just
wait until you get to the end. And the guy who's speaking in
the stage. Hold on.
It's too gruesome for us to show according to CNN. Now I just
have a bunch of still shots. Oh,
somebody please. All right. Expert. You'll just have to
believe me. You don't you don't know the original video does not
include the actual decapitation. Here's the Today Show. And I'll
give you a little background including about Foley who has
been missing in captivity apparently since 2012. How
we have a start with it and horrific story this morning. Oh,
these images were saying we're not going to be showing but of
the
ad. That's again, we're not going to show you these horrific
images, a because it's clearly kind of fake execution
of an American journalist. This is an extremely disturbing
story. journalist James Foley was held for nearly two years
after he was kidnapped in Syria his family saying that Foley
gave his life trying to expose the world to the suffering
there. Andrea Mitchell
is NBC News Chief foreign affairs correspondent
Andrea Good
morning to you.
Good morning, Matt. ISIS terrorists say that they killed
American journalist James Foley in revenue retribution for
America's recent airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq. And they
are now threatening another slaying unless President Obama
backs down. James Foley seen here just prior to his gruesome
execution by ISIS, the radical Islamist group. Foley has been
missing for two years believed held with other Western hostages
near raka in northern Syria, check your
email as well. You got a link to that.
So I have I'm watching this one report. And it shows Foley's
miked Yeah, did you see that? And then he's not Mike. You
don't want to cut wireless?
It is wireless. Ohlins got it? Yeah, I don't know if he's got a
mic pack.
But he has a wire coming down. I didn't see the mic pack.
Well, it's in its in his in his back pocket where it belongs.
When you make somebody, you can
put it. There's no wire. There's all kinds of places you can put
it.
Okay, keep watching and I'll continue to play this. Keep
playing
good experience journalists most recently with Global Post. Foley
was abducted on Thanksgiving Day 2012 in northern Syria. Six
weeks after he went missing his family spoke for the first time
publicly about his kidnapping on today.
After 40 days without information, we felt it was
important to make people aware and remind them that Jim is an
objective journalist. He's an innocent journalist who's doing
his job
fully had previously been held captive for 44 days by pro
Qaddafi forces in Libya in 2011. After his release, he was
passionate about the need to cover wars, despite the danger
as he told the Boston Globe,
I believe frontline journalism is important. These photos and
videos per se experience we can't really tell the world how
bad it might be.
ISIS an offshoot of al Qaeda did release for French journalists
in April, and other Westerners reportedly after their
governments or go betweens paid ransom, although they have
denied it. The video also purportedly shows another
American journalist Steven Sotloff, whom I said says he
will kill next. If the US continues its airstrikes in
Iraq. Lay Tuesday Foley's mother Diane issued a family statement
saying we thank Jim for all the joy he gave us. He was an
extraordinary son, brother, journalist and person. And she
wrote We implore the kidnappers to spare the lives of the
remaining hostages. Like Jim they are in essence
now I want to be careful because there are parents involved here
and but just if your son is missing for two years and you
see this video which I think you're now you must have almost
seen the whole thing I would not seen this video I would not
immediately say oh well he's dead. I would say this looks
like bull crap. Do you see the last shot
I'm watching it now I had to put up with I had to scan through it
to find where the action was because there was a bunch of
Obama stuff at the beginning
okay, you know, you just need to go to the Islamic State website
man
No, I'm here I'm watching it now. I don't want to change what
I'm watching I'm watching the guy is black guy the guy in the
black is standing next to him. You know it'd be heading seems
to me should be done with a big sword or some I agree.
With a bit more dramatic drunk. Yeah. And then
a pen knife. I really just like the headless body found in
topless bar scenario that took place in New York at a at a
nightclub that was famous for its headline and the
Have you seen the the Fade to Black yet?
I had no this yakking who's yak oh the the terrorist know that
key? The guy the kid Foley. Okay. Blah, blah, blah.
You see he's doing this from a cue card.
He's reading something Yes. Pretty obvious.
But that's also not typical of it. Typically, they give them a
piece of paper and they use words like that ship has sailed
who wrote that? Is that a an expression in in Arabic? That
ship has sailed Obama interesting I think I think
that's interesting whoever wrote this and then we had and we have
some some data on that. This being a British accent which you
will hear the terrorist all dressed in black.
This is going on forever. My God can you just
fast forward to the end? And by the way, just you gotta watch
these things, man. And
by the way, I like to find it to see a phony staging. And by the
way, it seems to me that you want to sort and you want to
grow the guy's hair out. Yeah, so you can grab onto it. Yeah,
so you can hold a hair is guys got a visa got a buzz cut.
Here's that so here are the parents very strange interview
played over and over again on CNN, and their phones are going
and they're they're just not grief stricken. And they are all
in the same day. Whereas I just seen this video I would not be
so convinced
to say we're very proud of
Jim. You know, he was a courageous, fearless
journalists.
very compassionate
and
you saw the whole thing you saw the Fade to black. Yeah, you saw
the
guys grinding away on the guys now no blood. No. Yeah, no blood
coming out. And then the next thing you know that guy's heads
on his back. How
fake did that look? They didn't look like a drop shadow
underneath his head.
It doesn't look right. Thank you, and it doesn't make sense
that they would go through.
Well, no, no. So here's the question. If you're going to use
this type of scenario to
this is why Why should use Have a second, I'm still, this is why
I'm so into the idea that this entire ISIS thing is staged by
the US government because it would be an American. That would
say, No, no, no, we can't do it that way. Because it's too
gruesome. Let's do this. I mean, because you could bring an FX
guy in from Hollywood. That's what it looks like it looks I
have seen no, but I think you could bring an FX guy in from
Hollywood and actually chop somebody's head off. I've seen
it in the movies. I've seen hedges flying off the body. So
my,
my point is, if you're going to go through this length, to
authorize more force and split Iraq into three parts, what the
mission is, if you really want the President to have something
to say, if you really want to scare people about the Islamic
State, why don't you actually just cut a guy's head off and do
it right? What is the why is this this is what I don't
understand. It reeks of the phony baloney Muslim video like
someone did this and they pulled this out of it's like an
archive. What do we got something we need something
that's anybody have something? Hey, Greg, Group, Group team
team, we need something. Hey, I got this video we did two years
ago. Because you don't see the guy speaking. So it could be a
voiceover could be anything you know, you don't actually see his
mouth moving in sync with with anything. I don't know. I do not
like
this tape. You do see his mouth moving in sync with his with him
what he says. But not after that point where they start to saw
waste, like sawing.
And let and there's discrepancies in this. And I'm
going to play some of this because it's the whole thing is
very bothersome. And I and I don't want to be cavalier
because you know, if someone's son is dead, fine, although I
didn't notice the president come out and say we're so sorry. I'm
so sorry about Staff Sergeant Benjamin praying 30 or Keith
Williams 19, California who were killed by an IED last week and
Kandahar. And no one's talking about that. Who cares? The
journalist now we have to stop the press. And here's the
president describing ISIS ISIL is whatever you want to call it.
And we'll get to that. And I do not understand if this was done
as a retaliation for the United States bombing ISIS airstrikes?
How can you then say that they ask for a ransom that those two
don't go together? If they want to say stop bombing or will cut
off this other guy's head. But if you give me $130 million,
which they don't need, because we already have this bullcrap
story that they have half a billion, we'll get your story
straight people,
let's be clear about ISIL. They have rampage across cities and
villages, killing innocent, unarmed civilians in cowardly
acts of violence. They abduct women and children, and
subjected them to torture and rape and slavery. I didn't
know about the slavery
that murdered Muslims, both Sunni and Shia, by the 1000s.
They target Christians and religious minorities, driving
them from their homes, murdering them when they can for no other
reason than they practice a different religion.
Hold on just know that slavery was what was in that art that he
just said they cubox by the way, three bucks you get a slave.
They just
said they kill people for no other reason. But then the
because they'd like to pray differently the
other reason than they practice a different religion.
So he's saying ISIS is this way and kills Sunnis, Shias
Christians, everybody, because they practice a different
religion. This is why they do it.
They declare their ambition to commit genocide against an
ancient people. So I saw speaks for no religion.
Wait a minute, how can they speak for no religion if they
don't like the religion people are practicing? I'm
very poorly written their
victims are overwhelmingly Muslim. And no faith teaches
people to massacre innocence. No, just God. All
that every single faith that makes people go massacre. You
kidding me
stand for what they did yesterday and what they do every
single day. ISIL has no ideology of any value that human beings
they have no ideology, but they kill people because they don't
like the way they pray. I'm sorry, this whoever wrote this
should be ashamed of themselves. Vacation time
bankrupt. They may claim out of expediency that they are at war
with the United States or the West. But the fact is they
terrorize their neighbors and offer them nothing but an
endless slavery to their empty vision and the collapse. Any
definition of civilized behavior.
Okay, so now we know the definition of ISIS.
Angeles slavery endlessly there. What was it? What was it vision,
their their debate you got to play it back because this is a
great phrase
Okay hold on a second.
Where was I there vacuous vision or something like vacant vision
something
they may claim out of expediency they rise their neighbors and
offer them nothing but an endless slavery to their empty
vision,
empty vision, endless slavery to their empty vision.
Now that that that was the that was the nuttin there that's not
bad that's not bad in this they meet you there and empty
vision. Wow. Now this is obviously intended to frighten
everybody and this is
like World War one's level propaganda.
And it's gotten really good. We just heard that they they kill
men and women, they enslave women, they rape women, they
kill people. Now CNN is it's their job. And we know that this
is the old x NBC guys this is kind of like their version of
Malaysia 370 They're gonna run with this for as far as they can
Brooke Baldwin, who I somehow just kind of start to like the
way she looks. At least I don't know something about her that I
picked up on I gotta look
her I watch her a lot. James Foley reads a message presumably
scripted by his captors. Denouncing America and Foley's
last words. Quote, I wish I had more time to see my family and
then James Foley is beheaded the brutal I know we don't see that
this this executioner appears to have a British accent.
I want to ask a rhetorical question. Okay, by the way,
Brooke Baldwin look better as a blonde. If you're gonna, you're
they've captured you that kept your hair on, let's say they're
going to be head you right? And you know, this is coming, you're
gonna have your head whacked off. And when we are shy or
sawed off the way this guy did it. Why would you do any of that
you say just to say Screw you guys. You suck. I mean, yeah.
And scream.
That's what I'd be doing. Yeah, I'd
be screaming Scott wouldn't be reading his script. Funny. You
mentioned that. Because I've seen I have looked around at a
lot of YouTube videos. And I'm always very interested in the
shooting guides in the back of the head. Which is also
apparently is. And I'm always surprised that these guys are on
their knees or sitting down and they put the gun to the head and
they and they pull the trigger. And they go from one to the
next. And these guys don't move. And that's and that's as far as
I can tell. That's real shooting people in the back of the head.
And they slumped over and you know, the next guy goes, I
wouldn't be beside myself. I'd be freaking out. I know. We
don't understand this culture. John, we have no idea how this
works. But this lighting but this isn't. This is an American.
And he's a journalist. And obviously he's these heroic in
his comments. Oh, he stole stoically heroic
40 years of age was a freelance photojournalist from New
Hampshire. ISIS, meanwhile, is now considered the world's most
dangerous terror group. And not just that, but also the most
repugnant I want you to listen to this Iraqi American he lives
in California and maintain sources inside Iraq. Now
this is, inside information, maintain sources in Iraq. I
think I looked this guy up actually, just because I thought
it was so funny what he's about to say. So I'll give you his
background in a moment. Day by day is getting worse and worse
war children are being beheaded. Mothers are being killed, more
children are being beheaded. Fathers are being harmed.
The atrocities committed by ISIS are well known but still you're
you're startling me with the severity of what you're
describing. You say they are beheading children.
They are systematically beheading children.
Don't we have video of that systematically, like have a
checklist and time to cut off ahead? It's three past the hour
weather on the eights and mothers and fathers. The world
hasn't seen an eagle like this for generations. There's
actually a park in a Muslim. They've actually beheaded
children and put their heads on a stick. Honestly they have them
in the park. They cut the heads off children put them on a stick
and then put it in the park.
This is crimes against
humanity.
I say beheading children.
I love that look. The heading children she'll be heading
children pay attention is
ISIS. Paul Cruickshank joins me in sin and terrorism analyst and
Michael Weiss. There we go with that foreign policy. And now
Lebanon, all right to speak. You've you've written
extensively about potential retaliation. Let me bring up the
London accent of that masked ISIS terrorist speaks in the
video. We know that quite a few Europeans who fought with ISIS
actually have gone back to Europe. Could this be a signal
for them to start carrying out attacks either, you know, in
Europe or the US, well, the
wall is passed. Yeah, of course, it could be there are a
significant number of Europeans in this group up. Now,
this is the continuing narrative, that there's
Europeans over there, they've got Western passports are going
to come back, they're going to start. They have no one's really
said it this way. But I hope someone connects the bridge and
says, they will be beheading children systematically in
Europe. And in the US, this is the great, they should say that
1000
in this group, and that gives them the opportunity to train
them and to get them to return to Europe and even onto the
United States. To launch attacks. There's also civil
concern because there are hundreds of people who fought
with groups like ISIS and Syria and Iraq who are now back in
Europe. There's concerned that they could launch attacks in the
days to Canberra
in the days to come launch launch attacks not just commit
acts of terror but launch attacks in the days to come Bro
we talked about potential retaliation and attacks Michael
to you, you have a little bit more on the video and of this
attacker himself.
It's well the Guardian just stand by for this you're gonna
love this story a couple hours ago, disclosing that this the
man who did the beheading is thought to be called John. He's
a British national from London, actually, that he is part of a
three man ring of captors all of them British. The nickname for
this group is the Beatles because of their national
origin.
Now, this is good. I'm really liking three guys from Britain.
We now call the Beatles who came up with four it's can be the Fab
Four.
Yeah, but it should be four. And I liked that idea. Because you
can also nickname in the beheading Beatles.
They use the original Beatles were called the silver Beatles.
Now this has spread. So now the number taking this The Beatles
and again, it's whoever came up with this. I don't know maybe
there was another meeting. Oh my God, no one understands. No
one's getting it, we have to have a name. If we call it the
Beatles, maybe we can get Paul McCartney to be outraged about
it. I'm just waiting for that. Now here is the next report
where the beep now
I'm putting that in the red book because I'm convinced now that
that is actually going to make sense.
This is something that he could also head up the benefit
concert. Here we got more Beatles. This
is something that came out in The Guardian newspaper here. And
they say that they've spoken to a number of other people who had
were held by this group. And
by the way, it's this is the second report that uses the
Guardian as the source for the name The Beatles. So it's the
guardian who was setting this is known as
The Beatles. And they're called The Beatles because they are a
group of young British Jew Hadees that are out there. And
I think they should have like a you know, he sends everybody
with it with a jihad he's known as The Beatles. They should have
the jingle all the time. Hey everybody, we're the jihadi
group known as The Beatles like they got a little Stinger
whenever someone says jihadi group known as The Beatles will
play the stinger. You recognize that by
the way, that's from a Long Day's Night
are described as being one of the main jail keepers of foreign
prisoners there and one of the main negotiators now we have not
independently confirmed that but there are hundreds of young men
and even a few women that have gone to Syria to fight
they're known as The Beatles okay, this is just crazy but now
we need to bring the douchebags out
this is the guardian of course had guardians mi six so we know
this is a government operation from the get go Yeah. Okay,
so let's bring out a couple people who can look official
talk a good name a good game
good name a good name actually talked a good name a good name
the Beatles Hayden
was out. Former CIA chief he was on all the channels with the
same message guy and he has
this is he is paying of essentially Hayden is on the on
the stump as a retired CIA guy forced to go out and and spew
his the propaganda because he can be arrested at any time as a
war criminal. And they've I believe that they've given him a
choice to face the music or become a shill.
Well, we know his choice is his choice is obvious.
Not just trying to protect or rescue our citizens. But we have
got to take the wood to ISIS.
We got it. We got to take the wood, ISIS, Brooke like this,
simply make them less capable of doing the kind of harm they
clearly intend to do to us. If
you say take the wood to ISIS, I got some wood for you right
here, like what needs to be done? What
does that mean? Take like a baseball bat, what does that
take
to buy for us trying to protect or rescue our citizens. But we
have got to take the wood to ISIS and simply make them less
capable of doing the kind of harm they clearly intend to do
to us.
You say take the Wyrley to ISIS, what needs to be done? And why
is ISIS such a threat to
this any worse? Possibly,
first of all, the President articulated on policy, we're
going to prevent genocide and atrocities. And we're going to
protect Americans like in the consulate Nerville.
Yeah, and the consulate and oil companies and the nice hotels
and people. We have a conference coming up September 1.
That's good. But you know what the President's actions are
already pretty much beyond those limited objectives. I mean, we
were kind of the Kurdistan Air Force, weren't we and the
retaking of the Mosul Dam.
I like that we're the Kurdistan Air Force and retaking the Mosul
Dam. This thing has to blow this would be perfect if you blow up
the Mosul Dam. And everyone gets flooded all the way down to
Baghdad. I'm just with someone please blow this thing up
already
fighting close air support to Peshmerga fighters and Iraqi
Special Forces. Look, we're all part of what we all have
fatigue. We're all tired of war out this. But I really do think
that's the right course of action. We need to do more of
that we need to degrade ISIS, which is more than a terrorist
organization. It's a government and it's an army
and they're and they're a British pop band.
And we just simply have to make them less capable if you don't
throw them for a metaphor here are meditating pardon any
detailed planning that's going on. We need to begin to treat
ISIS territory in Iraq and Syria. The way we have treated
with zero stan for the last decade.
Now this is now finally he's telling the truth. Waziristan
which I will remind listeners no one had heard of and I said on
this show, but look out for Waziristan because I saw the
pipeline. You're the first went through the province and through
Waziristan. And this is all about pipeline protection. I
said Be on the lookout. And lo and behold, no one ever heard of
Waziristan. It's on the map with droning guys left and right. And
he is correct. He is correct. We need to treat this particular
issue just like Waziristan, we need to stop the pipeline coming
from Iran, Iraq through Syria out into the port. And we need
to enable any pipelines coming up from our friendly Saudi
Arabians or the Qatari. He's going up through Homs and
Aleppo, into Turkey. So he is telling the truth, we need to be
droning people who are on the wrong side of history, killing
them and enabling everybody else. I agree this if there were
strategy, and of course, he's not a part of that. This would
be what you do
ISIS territory in Iraq and Syria. The way we have treated
Waziristan for the last decade, make them worried about their
survival, rather than planning to threaten yours and mine.
Exactly. Exactly. If there was one other student you can invite
during all of this to scare people. Come on. You know, there
who's on who's always ready. The disc jockey. The district, Mike
Rogers, the disc jockey, chairman of the it, the word
committee is on the security.
He is down to the house to intelligence committee. He's the
head of it. House intelligence,
and he is still in office, and he is telling you how it is.
He's the guy who coined the term jihadi Disneyland, boy, was he
right?
Of all four guys. I'm sorry. Yeah, by the way of all these
guys, as far as I'm concerned, he is the worst offender. Oh,
yeah.
And the difference here is that before 911, there was single
level threat streams coming into the United States. So pretty
single
level threat streams, write it down, Darius.
Obviously, they got in and conducted the attacks on 911
obvious now you have multiple organizations, all al Qaeda
minded trying to accomplish the same thing.
Multiple all al Qaeda minded
will get to ask you a question just theoretical, here are some
of their hypothetical. With a single level threat stream, they
could bring down the Twin Towers. Now that's been, what,
12 years ago? Yeah, 13 years ago. Now, but since then,
they've had multiple level threat streams and they've
accomplished nothing. It is even
worse than that, John, it is even worse than your
hypothetical question.
1000s of individuals now signing up with ISIL to fight their
jihad in Syria. Andy Iraq have Western passports. That's what's
so dangerous about this, that we also know that they want to
conduct an attack, but so does al Qaeda. And so now you have
two competing terrorist organizations.
It's a contest. Wow, it's the Super Bowl of terrorism.
Both of them want to get their credentials to the point where
they can say We are the premier terrorist organization. Come see
us.
We are the premier terrorist organization. They should have
commercials when you want the job done. Right. You come to the
premier terrorist organization,
both want to conduct tax attacks in the West for that reason,
yeah, that and guess what that means we lose at the end, if
either one of those organizations is successful, we
lose, we lose. And here's something interesting by we've
seen some very interesting relationships between AQ a in
the Arabian Peninsula, AQAP. Yeah. Interesting. And Al Qaeda,
on a very aggressive ethic, the Attorney General said that it
was one of the worst, or one of the things keeps him up at
night, and I would concur with him. That is an attack that that
many believe is going operational. And that's what we
should be worried about. Do
you think that we're in greater?
What did he say? Doesn't matter? It doesn't matter. Listen to the
final question. It doesn't matter what he says he's full of
shit.
Do you think that we're
in greater danger now than perhaps we were before? 911?
I do, again, only because the threat matrix is so wide right.
And it's so deep. We just didn't have that before 911.
The threat matrix is so deep, we are in more danger than before
911 You heard it from the chairman of the Senate
Intelligence Committee, House, the House Intelligence Committee
himself. Now, what is if we have this competition for someone for
one of these groups to be the premier terrorist organization?
We're number one, what do you need to have? set in stone?
A double double elimination tournament?
You need the branding, the branding man, the brand, here's
Marie Harf, Bandcamp girl spokes hold for the State Department.
And she just sums it up. She's getting pissed off about it. She
can't even figure it out.
But would you say that the US in Syria on the same page against a
common enemy?
I would not and large part that's because it's the Assad
regime's own actions that helps lead to the rise of ISIS or ISIL
or ISIS or whatever. We're going to call it this week.
Sponsorship underwriting advertising, call it whatever
you want.
Can these people not get it together? Here's this morning I
saw an Imam was in America and he was on one of the new shows.
And he's he's he's smart. This guy we need to fight the brand.
I
know you said something similar to me off camera that ISIS
shouldn't be called ISIS.
Obviously, absolutely. We have to fight them on on four major
fronts Where to Find Them ideologically.
ideologically. Okay, write that down. jomini. To bring the word
to them ideologically.
We have to find them in terms of their branding, their branding.
Oh, we have to fight their branding.
Yeah, they got to get rid of that. I think they should get
five did Oakland Raiders immediately should sue them for
use of their their their use of their flag? That would be
he has an idea this Imam by the way, find
them militarily and economically. As if the Court
pointed out we should not we should not even call them
Islamic social call them the the terrorist assassins of Syria and
Iraq,
which will be Tassie, he's suggesting yet another fourth
brand. ISIS ISIL is and now Tassie. Which What do you say
was the terrorist
assassin
or the the terrorist assassins of Syria and
the terrorist assassins of Syria in Iraq, which I think is a good
try it
but we need some we should have some of our producers come up
with some monikers that might be better
for the you know, that's we should rebrand it that way. And
we should all universally agree because that is
is there an RFP for this rebranding that we haven't seen
yet? Does that come through? Can we can we pitch can we pitch the
business important
in terms of shaping the perception of both non Muslims
and Muslims about this?
And then to Well, of course, we always have someone capitalizing
on this TED Poe, Republican from Texas, dickhead
for a long time you and I have been talking about border
security being national security, and yet we look to
Mexico and the drug cartels be heading their opponents. Is
there synergy? Is there interaction? Is there a
connection between the Mexican cartels and groups like ISIS?
I think they have a letter of intent or maybe a Memorandum of
Understanding laminae it's time for some acquisitions. Yes,
mergers and acquisitions, please. Yes. Yes. Seems to
be yes. At least they're talking to each other. They're talking
to each other. Hey, hello, Jose, Mohammed here. What are you
using these days? Let's see if we can now are you going to be
Mohammed or Jose? What do you want to be? I'll be Hello Jose.
Okay. Hello? Hello.
Hello Jose. Si, si si. Is Jose. Jose. Hello.
Hello. Hello. Hello
I'm Jose Jose we're working
on. We're working on. This is Mohammed Mohammed Ahmed from
taxi taxi taxi terrorist assassins Oh yes, Syria,
Iran. We've been we've been wanting to talk to you
problem you have problem with branding and positioning.
I have problem with my accent. Me too. What? Say you're going?
You're breaking up. Mohammed here. Are you under satellite
phone Muhammad here? I have um, but yes, so Jose,
Jose. What should we do? So we had more people? How do we
behead small knife big knife?
I would say that you should try a pencil
hacksaw
axon because it's cheap
going nowhere. Give going nowhere. No, I will find lines.
Gonna do a deal. Yeah, this is everyone is just just everyone's
jumping on board, saying whatever they want to say. As
long as it sounds scary. And of course, you're gonna attack us
any minute, any second now launching an attack within days.
And the best part is our Bandcamp girl Marie Harf. Well,
I'll let us listen to it in
terms of the video was the Secretary and the President that
were briefed on the video today watch the video.
I don't know the answer to that. And have the check. I have not
watched the video.
She has not watched the video and doesn't intend to. Okay,
well, she's already been you know, she already saw the
script. Though I don't think this could have been I don't
think there's the State Department activity. This is
definitely this is intelligence agencies. There's got to be mi
six and CIA.
Well, they need help and they're doing a crappy job.
They're doing a great job then we'll be doing a crappy job for
you, me and our listeners and that's a small number of people
relatively speaking big for a podcast I
agree with that. I'm just disappointed you're so right the
special effects guys could do such a great job and this is
what we get
so you need to go low budget Have you taken a look at the
kind of money they rather spending on hookers and blow now
you go
which is not a good combination actually. Doesn't work well
together I'm reliably informed
what else because you get robbed probably. All right enough.
Well, I just we need some kind of final analysis because it's
going to continue this is not going to stop I am sorry to have
to say that. I really don't believe this video is authentic.
I am It is crazy that crazy that it fades to black there's no
blood there's drop shadow. There's no analysis. We're not
showing it. Oh, it's so it's so horrible. Of course it's a
journalist I am
I would that be accepted unless somebody was directing in this
analysis too much? Too much. It's like the other one. They
had to cut it off because they can only produce because you
don't need that guy which I can see the meetings you say we
don't need to go that far. We don't need to bring in Hollywood
Nick actually chopped the guy's head.
Just say it happened.
Hollywood guy, you can make it look like he chopped his head
off. It's not that hard. You make a mole of the guy's head.
Put it on a on a you know,
John, it's Photoshop. It's just inserted with a drop shadow.
Yes. So it's insulting. It really is. And I don't know
exactly how it works.
This is bothersome that. You Yeah, you can see through it.
It's it's effective. I'll take the side of the government on
this. This works. It works. Yeah, sure. It's a cheap
photoshop job that any amateur could spot a mile away. And it
makes no sense that it was shot like this, but it worked. If you
listen to the radio talk radio shows are all talking about
this. Oh, this journalist had his head chopped off. It's
working fine. I don't know what your complaint is. It works.
Well. I
have a couple of complaints. And one is it is okay. Forget it
works great. If the President would at least say a few words
every week about servicemen and women who died in the course.
It's not it's an insult. People should be going AWOL. They
should be revolting. Come back home. We need you. We need your
protection against the police. Hello our workers to come back
home, we need your help here. It's really it is it's it's
flabbergasting. It's insulting and you're right. It works. It
absolutely works. We are so used to fake, fake stuff that it's
okay.
Now I want to play a very which is related to this I want to
play and this is a guy that people can turn off or go
forward. This is a profane clip. It's not as bad as the guy's
normal Act, which is pretty bad. But this is a black comic comic
named Katt Williams. Now, I'm going to the if he's not a no
agenda listener, he's a no agenda analyst and then I have
two clips from him. The first one is we'll play this and you
can tell you want to play the second one, okay? But this is
Katt Williams on the Boston Marathon. This is his stand up
bit, I believe it's on HBO, or it's on Showtime, one of the two
pay per view things and he deconstructs part of the Boston
Marathon bombing and discusses the police. And this is a
profane black comic. The police used
to be serve and protect us to be you are presumed innocent until
you're proven guilty. Pleas those who have said that they
can kill your ass today and come up with a story for the news
tomorrow. They don't figure that shit out. NATO got so good. They
can show us to true and we can see the truth with our own eyes.
And then they can lie to us at the same time and confuse us
about the truth. We just saw with our own eyes. Okay. The
first time we all saw it was that the Boston Marathon
bombing. Everybody was looking for the fake ass bullshit as
terrorists. He had a four day Headstart. He could have been
anywhere. But we knew he was in the boat. Because they told us
he was in the boat from a helicopter. That's him in the
boat right there in the boat to pitch around and that's him
laying down at the bottom of the boat that then they said the
police are here. We go back up. Let the police go in and begin
negotiations. And all we heard was the laptop then they cut to
commercial. By the time they came back 20 holes in his chest
tunnel lettuce or the next day they say he was in a gunfight
but he didn't have a gun. Very good. Very good. I hadn't
heard of this guy like him. Yeah, he does this and where was
this done? I
didn't know where to go with the venue.
I don't know what the venue was. It was. It's hard to say. I'd
have to really look it up. But he does the same thing with the
Dorner guy. And well, I look
forward to working with him when you're dead. Ebony and Ivory,
the best podcast in the universe. Feel free to use him
if I croak first.
Yeah, well, we can he probably he was born, he makes more money
than we do. Anyway, so that was just what's the second one is a
good second one is another one very similar. And it's about the
guy and this is a little more profane, because he's he's he's
going off on this in a different way. But this is about the guy
that was caught in the cabin and they burnt the place down and
the rest you know that guy the cop the black cop that were
there after an LA
Oh, the Yeah, who's the who's wallet they found twice?
Right and whose guns were somehow weren't even singed?
Ah, yes, that one second
time we thought said that we saw was in LA when I was looking for
the ex black cop, Christopher Donna. That was some scary shit.
They wanted that nigga back. Yeah. Let me just tell you I was
in LA at the time. And let me just say you do not want to be a
negative when they are looking for negative. That was some
scary shit. I didn't realize how much of my time I spent being
black till I had to try to drive white for two days. Mr. Collins,
won't that make a bad day shout out to Hispanic women in a
pickup truck. delivering newspapers at 430 in the
morning. Look for nickel. Wait a minute. That is too early and
too late for Negus. We're not going to be nowhere at 430 in
the morning and not even if we supposed to be but we knew he
was in the cabin. Because they told us he was in the cabin.
He's in the cabin. The police have him completely surrounded
there. There's nowhere for him to go. We're going back up that
the police go in and begin negotiations. And all we saw was
that rather than phone call
then they said it looks like he committed suicide barbecue
Very good. Well, it just points out that not everyone, people
out there that see the reality of the situation and it's not to
be taken lightly.
But of course after a show like that, it was hard. That was
great. Let's go back and
go back and watch the news. Exactly.
I'm going to show my school buy donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that and oh, yeah, that'd be fun
we have a lot of people to thank. Well, actually not that
many. We have some people that thank for show was 645 and we go
to 646 which is kind of interesting. 646646 including

really appreciate it. Thank you. Ah, okay. Let us see quick guy
on the side clip.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's just Elizabeth Warren little short clip where she says
somebody Hillary but she doesn't say anything that just this is
just gonna make sure this stays in the loop that we can keep
track of this woman because she will be the next president
united states and
I'm gonna leave if Hillary Clinton is still the best choice
coming up for your party coming up for 2016 on Hillary is
terrific. But is she still the best choice though? I'm sorry.
She's still the best choice or you're being rescued. The
rescuer. It's time to go in.
We just have a question about as you see, one of her supporters
asked her to come in inside and begin the event. She dodged that
question because I didn't hear a yes or no.
I thought that was funny because I boosted that clip. And then I
actually got to hear the person whispering going. We've got to
go inside
to coincide right away. It's not good to go. Thanks no more
questions.
Because there's always still the possibility and the fear that
Hillary will get in even though this seems less and less likely
as time goes by, and then she'll will will screw over Elizabeth
Warren for daring to challenge her if she doesn't kill her.
Well, that can happen too. Yeah, I'd
say that. I'd be very careful. You cross Hillary. Second
Second half of show. I've been following this guy, Paul
Hellyer. Paul Hellyer is the former Minister of Defense for
the candidate Naviance. Let me pull up his wiki page. H e l l y
e r,
h e l l y Er,
yeah, I've been following this. But finally, I got a clip that
is short enough into the point enough, Ah, me. longest serving
current member of the Privy Council,
eu the Privy Council. Here, we need a privy council for our
group. Now there's
a guy for our intelligence network. Anyway, here he is. On
RT in a recent interview,
why do you say that UFOs are as real as the airplanes flying
over our hats.
Because I know that they are.
This is my kind of guy. I know that they know that they are
okay.
And he he really confirms everything I've always believed
in.
As a matter of fact, I've been visiting our planet for 1000s of
years. During the cold war in 1961, there were about 50 UFOs
information flying south from Russia to the across Europe. And
the Supreme Allied Commander was very concerned and about ready
to press the panic button when they turned around and went back
over the North Pole. So they decided to do an investigation.
They investigated for three years, they decided that with
absolute certainty that four species, four different species,
at least, had been visiting this planet for 1000s of years.
And that would be the greys, the tall blondes. And I'm not sure
if
we have a clip of the guy who has this like six. Well, he's
clip once you look up aliens, and see if there's a clip that
defines the different species. There's the greys and there's
some green ones. And then there was some tall ones. And then
there was something else. And I think were two others.
Whoa, yes, yes. No, is it was a clip that you had you right?
Yes, I had to clear
a lot of people have actually worked at Area 51. And they have
told me that they worked with beings who were from another
planet. And they said, there's more than one kind, a large
and a small nose Gray, a reptile, an orange, a blue, and
the humanoid. I don't think that there's yet a complete story on
what
Well, that's not the that's the bogus
orange right to me. So that's a long whole disguise. This is the
real deal history of UFOs. And of course, there's been a lot
more activity in the last few decades. So
listen up, this is very important information.
We invented the atomic bomb. And they're very concerned about
about that, and the fact that we might use it again. And because
the whole cosmos is a unity, and it affects not just us but other
people in the cosmos, they're very much afraid that we might
be stupid enough to start using atomic weapons again, and this
would be very bad for us and for them as
well. So the information that I have always had is that none of
these nuclear weapons work at all they are incapacitated by
the the four species of aliens who are protecting us and
protecting the entire planetary unit universe. Then, since
Nagasaki and Hiroshima, nothing has gone off.
Yeah, well, there's no proof of that. And there's plenty of
evidence to the contrary, A and B, if you read the Corso book,
which apparently this hell your character read, and he was less
inclined to believe in any of this until he read Philip Corsos
book which I recommend to Bill's very which was the name of this
but his name is The Day After Roswell, very good book very
entertaining. And Corso says that we've been and you've said
this on occasion, so your your own opinions about this bullcrap
are contradictory, because you've said on occasion the same
thing Corso says in his book that we are in a war with the
aliens. I've never
said this. This is not true. Space wars. You've talked about
the space wars in Space Forces now with aliens, the Chinese and
we're shooting each other satellites Do you do you
actually come to this show? Or do you send someone else who
makes up Israeli rally I've never said we're fighting the A
and I've never said that.
Well, I'm sad telling you what Corso says. Corso says we're
fighting the aliens, us and the Russians and most of the
activity. I don't believe any of that. I believe that with
putting weaponry out in space so we can apparently these aliens
have difficulty with certain magnetic stuff. That's why they
keep crashing otherwise they'd have taken over by now. And it
turns out I think the course so is correct. This guy is totally
wrong. We're the Aliens aren't our friends. Why would they be
it's dumb to think that it's like, oh, the white man coming
to help Indian. This is not going to be the way it works.
Nick Corsos argument is, I think is much better. This character
this is hell, your guy actually created a landing pad in St.
Paul, Alberta, the town where all the money is. And he had it
built as a Canadian centennial celebration. I'm reading from
the Wikipedia as a symbol of keeping space free from human
warfare. The sign beside the pad is a pad there. The area under
the world's first UFO landing pad was designed and designed
internationally by for the town of St. Paul's a symbol of our
faith that mankind will maintain the outer universe free from
national wars and strife, that future travel in space will be
safe for all intergalactic beings. All visitors from Earth
or otherwise are welcome to take over Alberta, apparently, to our
welcome to this territory, and they're welcome to the town of
St. Paul. So I'd be moving out of there as fast as I could. I
like it better when I see it.
I like it better when I just did the alien stuff. I don't like
your version is no good.
My version is more believable.
Okay, just don't just don't accuse me just don't accuse me
of things. I haven't said I never said well, I
thought you did. I wouldn't mistake and I guess when I was
cuz sometimes when I roll my eyes. Yeah, it actually makes me
forget things. Okay, it's not the known characteristic of eye
rolling.
The tech news, tech news or phone numbers or phone?
tech news thing?
Oh, do we have a tech news theme? Don't
we supposed to play it?
Yeah, I'm gonna get into it all. I said you want the long
version? Or the? No, of course not. I liked the long version.
We're gonna play that with my phone.
The way I see it, the only good phones a landline and the phone
should be made out of Bakelite. Tech News.
Although there's no phone out, there's no phone this week in
tech news. I would like to say something about a case we've
been following for quite a while. It's just tech news. This
is tech news. Regarding podcasting?
Oh, yeah, they had a big podcasting confab in Texas.
Yeah. But I was going to talk about the Podcast Movement, I
believe is the settlement of the lawsuit between the podcasting
patent holder and Adam Carolla. Oh, and they have now settled,
it's interesting, without prejudice, which means they can
sue each other, they can sue each other. And they have
they're now in a quiet period for I think, 30 days. And
somehow this is being seen as some kind of victory I called
chicken shit. What is this? Big, big words? Oh, we're going to
fight them to the end. Now you settle without prejudice. So
nothing has been one at all.
A lot of money. Well, he does have a trial
in September, his business partners are suing him about not
paying his their fair share. Maybe he needed some some money
for that lawsuit.
Maybe I'll use it for that.
But I'm dumbfounded at how easy this guy gets off with this. But
fine.
He was he was
some pretty good articles written about this.
I didn't read any. Okay. And
we continue to follow the Electronic Frontier Foundation
who were following the correct path in trying to invalidate the
podcasting patent.
I have a column running yesterday. It's still in PC
Magazine. Tech News of the belittling a new product called
the vessel you can go to VYL
this is the the cup, the cup that knows what your dragon
knows that what you're
drinking. Yeah, the 13 ounce cup that knows what you're drinking.
It costs 200 bucks to be
a part of it out of plastic to be a part of the Internet of
Things. The Internet of Things. All right. Tell us about this
column. Luckily, you belittle it. That's good. I looked at the
commercial, but there was nothing to pull from it. There's
no voiceover No, no,
it's not enough talking.
Is this real? Is this a real cup as
well? If it is, it's about $50,000 worth of chemical
testing here in the country. I find it hard to believe to be
honest about it. I think it can maybe test a couple of things
like sugar content. But if they claim you can test it, you can
put in Coca Cola and it'll say Coca Cola and put in Pepsi says
Pepsi and what's the point? Right say that what's the cause
now it can document all everything you drink all day
because you're supposed to carry the stupid cup around with you
like an idiot. So you carry that cup until you go to Starbucks.
You're done. Your coffee in there you drink from there. And
then it it, it goes to the cloud. It analyzes everything
you've been drinking all day and gives you advice on hydration
calorie count and things like that. Wow. Something everyone
needs.
This is not going to fly long term. I know I don't think human
beings fly short term. But the same thing with his wearables
crap and no one cares. No one. I don't think anyone really well,
the
hypochondriacs care. I don't think there's that many
hypochondriacs in the world. There's enough of a maybe to
support one or two of these devices. But
I will say that I New York City, I did watch your most recent
appearance on a show about phones this week in cell phones.
And I think you were very clear and correct in saying and I'd
like you to tell a little more of the story if you don't mind
because I remember you had to leave to go to this party. That
Silicon Valley everything is a scam.
I didn't leave the show prematurely. I don't know if
maybe
you couldn't talk later. On this year. I gotta go. There's some
party thing. Oh, right. Right. Right. Right. This was this was
the party that you went where some guy said though,
everything's a scam.
This is a story I told. We didn't really I went to a party.
It was it was Steve Cook's place. And it was a place where
with Steve Cook, or Tim Cook or not Tim Cook, but Tom Collins
that cook that route that road that runs that started into it.
And for some reason, I can't remember his first name. Anyway,
so cook I had a party and I was in there at this huge mansion,
drinking Chardonnay like a like a Torp. And
you're going fast. Who else
was there? Oh, John Doerr was
there. Okay, John Doerr famous venture capitalists. Yeah, most
of the
people from Kleiner, the people from like a bunch of the
footballers were there like what's the guy used to be the
safety for the Ronnie Lott? There's a lot of celebrities
there was a celebrity laid with any any Hollywood celebrities.
No, it was just Silicon Valley Northern California celebrities.
Anyway, I was in one of the in one of the anti rooms and the
room was an AV room in the back.
Still, I'm trying to get the you're not doing a good job on
the story. I'm trying to help him coaxing you. I'm interested.
Don't get frustrated by
me. But I don't think I have to explain. I was in a room. And it
was it. It was and it was because they had good pollen
nuts. Were there any drugs at this party? No, there were no
drugs at this party. Except for wine.
Were there any were there any good looking women at this
party? Silicon
Valley women there was a bunch of them I didn't there weren't
any Hollywood level quality high end. Babes hookers? No it was it
was just one of these you've been to these party No,
sorry. I have not I don't get invited. I've never been invited
to these I don't
get invited to that many myself. How did you
get on this list?
How it because I had given a speech that involve the company
it was it with Larry Lessig and I got it was a debates thing we
both talked two sides of one
issue did you say Adam says hi to Larry you know I'm because
this was
years ago and before we started working together so it wasn't
going to happen that way. Okay, let's I was that I have a lot of
insight and foresight. But not that I'm not that good.
And so people are hanging around
him at that party came out of the event and so that there was
an a party and so that was in the back room and that was it
was talking to some guys.
Were people wearing Dockers. Yes. And lots of khaki. Yes.
Wow. Okay, a lot of blue shirts and blue shirts with suspenders.
No suspenders. Okay, this house was it a like a Victorian or
modern,
modern, a huge monstrous place. And it had it was in Woodside so
it had a backyard that's been five or six acres. And in the
backyard there were a bunch of alpacas
out these are like llamas.
Yes, only to the high end llamas knows, but they were the alpaca
it's the
Tesla of llamas.
Yeah, well actually, I would say the vibe kupuna Okay, the bike
guna which is a small they're different size the llama llama
is a big giant thing.
Are these good pets? They make good pets.
They're very friendly. And what they do when they have this
there was this Scott Cook that's his name. Anyway there I don't
know why couldn't remember that. He's got a bunch of llamas and
they have a in the backyard. They have a big stable for the
llamas in this big house, which is modern place it had one of
those toilets that washes your ass. As a matter of fact, what
kind of cars were outside Tesla's and pre Tesla this was
about 10 years ago. I
thought you were talking about This party now I'm sorry, I'm
confused. Okay, so the llamas were 10 years ago.
Yes. And it was a but there were so there are Bentleys and
Ferraris, and then bunches of lots of BMWs and and you know,
Lexus's and things and a couple of Chevy's in a
Chevy, Chevy and they had a valet service in front of the
house.
Now fast forward, we're back 10 years now this is not good
enough. I'm liking it. I'm liking it go.
So the so the llamas, I'm told. So, what does all these llamas
doing here? Is it the llamas they like to they they like to
share the llamas. They have somebody comes in and shares the
llamas. And then the bunch of women from Woodside and San
Francisco including and Dora and a bunch of these other rich
women that are married to billionaires, they sit around
and they they spin the the llama wool and then they knit with it
as part of a coffee klatch?
Hold on do you think this is still happening this their sound
either that or something else is dumb, okay,
so they're taking the the alpaca, llama, alpaca, llama
wool, and they spin it. I presume they're washing it to.
They're treating it. And then they sit around in a group,
these billionaire, women, heiresses and they and are they
knitting sweaters or quilts?
They're probably carves something that square that would
be my guess.
Do they feel this is in case of the nuclear holocaust that
that's a good boy. That's a billionaire billionaire. prepper
wives essentially, was
one of the guys that was telling me about the about the spinning
club. And he says, Can you believe that? I said, Well,
yeah. And I somehow in the conversation, I said something
positive about Silicon Valley to this person that was telling me
all about all this, and this
is now 10 years ago,
this is 10 years ago, okay? I've been this is not something that
happened overnight. I wasn't I was always suspicious, but I did
he have a glimmer of or there was some positive aspect to my
coverage of the valley. And I thought that we were doing the
world a favor, right in terms of the products and ideas and
you mean we're changing the world there was a change in the
world the world a better place.
It was why we've I've never been gone that far. But I felt it was
a positive thing with the
first PCs. I totally agree. I think there was it was very
positive
is a positive thing. And the guys goes off on me telling me
that climate idiot cook. No, not cook, the guy who was telling me
about the knitting club Cook was busy to entertaining people
cooks. Cook showed me the llama ranch than he had to go off and
do whatever. He didn't tell me that the llamas were there for
these women.
Gosh, I got I mean, I'm enjoying this.
So this guy goes off me telling me I'm full of crap. And Silicon
Valley is a big scam. It's just a big sales club. They know how
to sell anything. They can sell ice boxes, the Eskimos for all
you know, everything's bullcrap that it's exaggerated, and
that's why you're in this giant mansion drinking this expensive
wine is because it's all bull crap. And he went off and I
thought about it afterwards I said he's right. It is bull
crap. It's all bull crap. People are you know and then you see
when you see it lined up around the Apple store, the by the
watch, which will be coming up shortly. You realize that the
public at large are a bunch of suckers.
Oh, when you repeat things over and over again and every tech
show is no more than a PR extension of the of tech firms
who sell phones and other gadgets. Yeah, of course people
like it and they don't need any of it. Any of it you don't
I'm reminded of my Nexus galaxy, which is built I was looking at
the specs of it in 2011 I don't need another phone this phone
works fine it's got 64 gigs of memory it's got a great display
it the radio works everything's the apps all work the thing is
three or four years old Why should I be buying a new phone
every year? This not scratch? I put it in my pocket this phone.
Okay. Let's get back to the party for a second hold it in my
pocket.
He says never gets threatened. Okay, so that was the party 10
years ago. Now this party you were at recently? Was that no
recent party? No, no,
no, this was a reference to that party. I've been at her I
thought you went to a party recently. Oh,
I went to a party. I don't know of a party that I may have. I
don't know of one. I don't get invited out anymore. People hate
me.
Yeah, I have the same problem. Although not an awesome people
in Austin like me they think I'm cool. Although I have to kind of
you're kind of celebrity Well, you know the always ask me MTV
stuff, which I really don't care about. Yeah, I got no my 10
stories ready, you know? Hey, come over to the house. Look at
my Mickey by the way when I was in New York Wow, she redid my
entire wall of fame. I have a wall of fame. She reframed
photos. It's spectacular looking. Now you walk in, we
have this room, which has her stuff my stuff. He has like New
York Times articles that are hung up. I have was that to
Forbes magazine, Fortune covers USA Today.
Some kid comes in there and they're gonna blow his mind. Or
now
not just Kenya pictures of me and Michael Jackson and then
Tina Turner. And it's really it's impressive. And a couple of
the gold records you know, the cool ones from Aerosmith and
Jackson and just not announced,
I guess celebrities office.
Yeah, but it's a whole separate room, and it's really really
nice. And she did something else. She had the house
cleansed.
I think that's probably a wise idea. And I want to bring a
witch doctor in
Yes, she did. She brought in Deva and they burn sage and and
all this stuff and apparently in the studio, which is a casita.
There was a ghost who was stuck here and couldn't get out who
had had some horrible like, died, didn't die well and was
stuck here and, and they, and they worked, I think for half an
hour just to get the ghost out of the casita.
And you had a ghost in your studio. Yeah.
Apparently. I feel much better now though. I feel less now that
the
ghost has gone. Yeah. Yeah. And this may have accounted for some
bugs that you had in the system. Remember? Because yes,
well, no. This is the first thing I said that the dank,
musty smell was gone. I think there was a ghost sitting there
in the air duct.
And it was a pod not much of a podcasting fan.
No Far and Away. Fart and ghost.
Who knows? You so you got rid of the fart and ghost?
Yeah, and everything does feel very nice and clean. I believe
in this. I think this is a good idea. People should look into
this. I hate there's energy that sticks around you don't even
sound that skeptical? I think you
do. Well, I find I'm bored. I know the ghost stuff. Because
Mimi's a big believer in ghosts and we just apparently had a
ghost over at the we had a duplex we live in Berkeley. And
all the kids had seen this ghost so I have to say well there
probably was a ghost there and I never saw the ghosts I think
this whole thing is nonsense to be honest about it. But it's
possible that there's something screwy that could happen worth I
don't know why or how but there was a ghost over there in which
all you have the ghost and it became like a part of the family
this ghost and they although they never set a table for him
or her you don't know. And it is all of these reports that go so
it's possibly had a ghost. Why not? Yeah, but you know, it'd be
nice to know that backstory. Most ghosts have a backstory.
Well, this
ghost is now gone. So we don't know. Oh, well, it's
probably better not to have a ghost around.
So I enjoyed that. She did that and everything is really good.
And I and
you're flying saucer stuff. Now this shows back on track the old
fashion show where we
are we're show we're good to go. And we made it through the
entire show without talking about the ALS Ice Bucket
Challenge.
Yeah, is that what you want to talk about? I'm gonna give you
my quote. I
do have some well first let me play the the funniest one. This
is going around the world. Obviously, people in the
Netherlands and Bulgaria.
No, no, this is this. I'm gonna say this right off before you
start playing these clips. This is not a viral campaign. This is
an extremely well orchestrated public relations campaign. I am
going to find out who did it because this is so successful,
that there's no way they can shut up about it. And the person
that came up with the idea, the agency that's behind it, and
everything in between to be revealed on this show. This is
the biggest crock of bull crap and the fact that everybody's
falling for it. I have the Kermit the Frog one here by the
way. Is is outrageous. As far as I'm concerned. This shows how
bad how the public can be manipulated. Kermit
Kermit the Frog. I'll play this first. Yeah, play.
Greetings all this is Kermit the Frog coming to you from the hot
sticky swamp where I am ready to accept the ALS ice bucket
challenge from WWE ease Vince McMahon. In which by the way, he
referred to me as a pesky amphibian. To which I reply,
oh, yeah, this doesn't even sound like Kermit.
Well, the real service dad, that was that was the curse people
who can do a
better job than that. Yeah.
And I'm 50 And it turns out that evidently getting drenched by
freezing cold water could actually make me go totally
dormant, and my heart could stop but no matter no matter at all,
half an hour ago, I had 10 bags of ice delivered here to the
swamp. And by now well, they should have melted into several
gallons of freezing cold water.
Wow, this is really crap. So not I'll
stop that now. And now I want to mention something that happened
last night. Which I'm why I'm going through the late night
comedy shows just to see what's what and Lindsay Lohan who's got
a play in London Shannon Oh, she does it. But she's, she's in
London at of doing a play. She's with one of the characters in
one of the plays. They they, that they flew her from London
to New York to accept the Ice Bucket Challenge and dump ice on
her. Now this were to have on London. It was on Jimmy Fallon
show, which is in New York, and Fallon dumped the ice on her and
then she went back to get on a plane to go back. This is an
outrageous waste of resources and stupidity on everybody's
part. And so that when that when I saw Lindsay Lohan coming in
from London, just to get ice dumped on her, she never said
she's given money or anything. She's dumped ice on her so she
can have a clip of it. Then I knew it was a public relations
scam. And it's completely out of control. And anyone who takes
part in it, it just said is this, I think it's fine that the
ALS hired somebody to do this and get the I don't think they
expected it to do as well as it did. They've got over $10
million, maybe 20 By now, lots of money. But anyone who falls
for this is a sucker.
Yeah, I find this. Interesting, I'm very glad that you're going
to look into the into the origins, there is a Wikipedia
page for it. And I think it's worth discussing since you and I
have both been called out, neither of us are going to do
this and just not I'm not going to be forced into doing any of
this credit. If you remember
the early days of the call out it was you either give some
money to this charity or get ice dumped now to because you want
to get a picture of yourself getting ice dumped on you like
Bill Gates, who apparently had dumped ice on himself. And then
but they always they dump ice and they give money to the
charity. That was not the original idea. The idea was you
get called out you give money to the charity or you get ice
dumped on you not both. But everyone, always here's what I
think. I believe that a lot of these people, Bill Gates and all
the people that have had ice dumped on them are guilt ridden.
They're guilt ridden people that need that art. This is like the
flatulence in the 1300s, who during the era of the Great
Plague, they would go down the street big groups of them and
slap themselves with chains and whips and they'd whip their back
so they were bleeding and there was group there was 1000s of
them and they would do this in all the towns and these
flagellates had a there was a some sort of Christian guilt
going What is it sounds like flatulence, but that's not what
you mean. flangeless
like flagellate. Okay, that's hitting yourself flagellated so
you can hit somebody else you could flagellate someone's go
whipping as we were Who are these people doing this? The
Christian flatulence that was the name of them, sorry. And
there was a she was like a cult of people doing this to
themselves during the 1300s during the
plague, because they weren't dead. And so they felt they had
to flagellate. Yeah, it was part of
it. And they thought that maybe it would get God's attention, it
would cure the diseases and all the rest of it, there's a
million is a very interesting thing to study these, these
guys, they were also became borderline rock stars. And I
like to
throw themselves at I like this analogy.
So anyway, so these people, these guilt ridden people would
just beat themselves up going down the streets. And they would
always do it as a public spectacle and a big parade that
go down beating themselves in the back. And this is what we're
seeing here. This is a public spectacle of guilt ridden people
drawing attention to themselves. Oh, look at me Look at me, and
then dumping ice on themselves like idiots. And this to me is a
form of mass hysteria that I don't know if we're ever going
to see anything quite this crazy, but but it is a the
people that that's triggered it the public relations and who
brought the celebrities in because that's what really did
it by the way that celebrities, not a bunch of people in Silicon
Valley. Jason Calacanis dumping ice on himself as nobody cares.
But the people that are the hot celebrities, they're all guilt
ridden. I don't know if they're even MK Ultra types doing it. I
have no idea but people are dumping crap on them filming it.
Bill Gates is dumping ice water on himself getting soaking wet
filming it. This is sick. And it's telling me that there's
something wrong with the culture and there's something
specifically wrong with these people who want to do this,
instead of just giving the money. I mean, this is a there's
it's an illness. i It's like, and it's not Oh, divorce, like,
you know, you're no fun. No, this is really weird people.
Well, I think this does play in some regard into my
international health crisis. Analysis. This does have to do
with the culture of broadcasting, projecting,
showing your life being a part YOLO all of these things what
when Bill Gates did it that this is where your analysis goes a
little askew? You're telling me that Bill Gates, who supposedly
is the do gooder saving children everywhere, as long as they're
black in Africa, with malaria with vaccines? Are these he's
saving the entire world. He sponsors every public radio
television program, and he's guilt ridden about ALS. He's
Gil, no, he's not about
ALS. It's about themselves. Yes, this has nothing to do with ALS.
It just happens to be the beneficiary. So
I agree. But when you say guilt ridden, why is he guilt ridden?
Bill Gates is totally guilt ridden. I mean, he has like, got
all this money that he doesn't really deserve. And there's some
element of that he's always had that everybody who's that Rich
has that element. And he's also playing games with that money.
And he's also in any gets stuck with Parkinson's, which is like
God striking him. There's no doubt in my mind that he's guilt
ridden. I think all these people are guilt ridden. So celebrities
go in front of a camera and then dump ice on yourself. make a
fool of yours. Look at me, boom, I'm now soak. I'm soaking wet.
Is it wet duck? You know,
to me, to me, this is to me, this is very similar. I've sued
a gossip magazines in the Netherlands. Not because they
published something about me, but because they took pictures
that I had taken that I owned, and they printed them in
magazines and did that without permission and didn't compensate
me. And so I've always taken as a cue and this is why and if you
look at Adam curry, Creative Commons, you'll see that I've
that I've won some significant lawsuits. Not in the money, you
lose money on the whole deal. Believe me. Yeah, no, this was
the end. I didn't do any. Any crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, I
did it myself. But whenever you win something, and I thought it
was only particular to the Netherlands, but it may be
worldwide, people would always say, Well, of course, you're
gonna give that money to charity, right? I'm like, no,
no, I'm not gonna give it to charity. And it's very strange.
But if you come in, I think here's maybe the guilt ridden
part. If you come into money, and you don't feel good, this is
Oh, my God, I think I've got it. If you come into money, and you
don't feel you really deserve it, which in Bill Gates's case,
certainly would be true. He has billions of dollars, we kind of
bought something, put something together, but a lot of other
people did the work actors, they know that they really, you know,
the millions of dollars, they sometimes get, I have no problem
with it. But that is a deep down guilt that you're talking about.
Like I have to do something because I don't feel good about
how much I have. It's kind of the inequality thing, versus
anybody else. And if I do this, which is just another version of
changing your Twitter icon to black, if I do this, then at
least I'll get people off my back. I'll feel good. And I've
contributed Leonardo DiCaprio, one of our producers, does
physical therapy stuff for him. And he was called out for the
challenge. And he was really angry as I don't want to do
this. But if I don't everyone think I'm a douchebag. And he
had to put up more than $100 Yeah. And so I think that is
your guilt. I think that you're right, in addition to a lot of
people and I see the ones in the Netherlands who I know who
really if you get called into it, you're being called into the
club you see into the club of celebrities, because you are
then by some you are connected to Bill Gates and you're
connected to Leonardo DiCaprio because you've also did the
challenge. It's it is something of this era, the way it's being
done now but I think you're right it does go back to the How
do you spell flatulence
YFL a g e
l l something
fun Gil and ze and TSB graduates
when this should be a Wikipedia page when there isn't stock
chillin There you go flatulent practitioners, I'm an extreme
form of mourning mortification of their own flesh by whipping
it with various instruments. Yeah, or or doing something is
doing something stupid like pouring ice on your head. Which
can cause you if you have head trauma, it can cause ALS, just
so you know.
Yeah. So
yeah, and so I have a negative.
That's very good analysis, the taking you back to the
flatulence. I think that that is spot on. It's a human. It's kind
of like that combined with an Andy Warhol. 15 minutes of fame.
And what's But funny enough, well, maybe just No, of course,
no one gives a crap about us, but we were. It was a Leo who
called us out to do this on twit. Yeah, it was New Me and
Jason Calacanis. Right, and Jason Calacanis has a lot of
people following him and he's Like, Oh, those guys won't do it
and I haven't responded. You responded like
that? He said, I'll do it. I'll do it. Of course he will. He's a
Publicity Hound he thinks is a way to get a little more a
couple more followers and I'm not getting any hate. I'm gonna
do. I don't think those two douchebags will do it. No. And
so, and then you said, Oh, we're gonna get hate. I said, I don't
think so. Because most people that I talked to that aren't in
this league of guilt ridden celebrity, uh, don't think this
is interesting. They think it's stupid. I mean, I'm talking
about like, you know, Jaycees wife. JC doesn't even know about
it. Most people don't see it that way. There's one we had one
guy from no agenda listeners his I think he should do it.
Whatever. But anyways, beside the point, the point is, is that
this is a weird phenomenon that I am absolutely convinced was
triggered by a PR person, a person
will start. I started with edify it started in the golfing and
the golfing community.
I'm going to identify the person. There's a need to be
recognized for, for what I consider a great, great moment
in PR history.
So we have this list. The Ice Bucket Challenge participants. I
think this is a very important list to have and to keep.
Because it does say something about these people. I think it
does. Well,
he was when Lindsay Lohan flew out from London just to do this
in public on a national show. That was when I said that was
the end that was the you know, somebody sent me the Kermit the
Frog thing saying that was jumping the shark. I think it's
I think Lindsay Lohan coming in from England.
It's ridiculous. I remember when Phil collars. Phil Collins did
Live Aid. Was it Live Aid? Yeah. And he took the Concorde from
New York to Wembley Stadium and played twice on the same day
that was like wow, that's cool. That was extravagant. Here's Vin
Diesel Ice Bucket Challenge. Michelle Obama
Angelina Jolie and Putin
that's why I liked it. Yeah.
Nobody that's a real Poonam will do Putin is these are all the
non there's no elite doing this then they're not going well
George. When I see Chris George
George Bush did it
well, that tells you something while he's technically
dead Hmm, now look at Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if
not gonna happen. So I want to I've got a couple of clips I'm
going to get out of the way before we're getting near the
end of the show. Yes, I've got more stuff. But I do want to
make I do have a million clips actually but I'm going to
stretch these out for the next three days. Because Monday
coming this upcoming Monday is is national Mac and Cheese Day.
Oh my goodness. Okay, and who is this sponsored by Kraft or who
does this who does the
I have no idea probably the US government. So I am will it be
will it be by presidential proclamation because it does not
count otherwise.
So I went in I went first I got a mac and cheese or something I
got a Mac and Cheese clip.
I'm sure you don't wanna do this on Sunday because they want you
would you want to tease it and get it ready?
I want this Okay, let's just play this the mac and cheese
song which you could also play at the end of the show by the
way along with the other end of show thing that you were talking
about which is the anthem they can Yeah, that catchy song. In
fact we can save it to the end of the show buddy and play a bit
of it if you want and then play at the end of the show which is
the mac and cheese on which triggered me to get all these
mac and cheese Clips
can play a little bit
what is this recording is crap
it's weird it's sorry mess is crap.
Can you get a better a better version of it? No, I
don't think so.
I don't think that's listen at all
I could hear it okay don't play the mac and cheese song. Anyway
it goes on it's a very good song actually very well well written.
And then so we get Okay, so I get some clips like here's the
mac and cheese for Thanksgiving. This is a black online cook. One
of many
you sent me this video which was no violation. No no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That video that I sent you is not in
this list. That video had no clickable parts. This is the
clipping. This is a different woman and she said she just she
serves food and weight. Which clip is this is a man I can
cheese for Thanksgiving, which I thought was kind of sick.
That's what the Obamas do.
And Happy Thanksgiving Happy Holidays, that you know, this is
the biggest eating holiday of the year. So you go could not
leave you hanging. So to show my gratitude, I'm surrogate mark.
Thanksgiving, my baked macaroni and cheese, which is guaranteed
to clean
now so I find it kind of weird that anyone would consider mac
and cheese or Thanksgiving. Have you ever heard it said yes.
Yes. What is a paycheck and maybe you can find the clip even
Michelle Obama talked about let's see. Michelle they that's
what they that's what Michelle here Michelle mac and cheese.
Here we go. Yes, they served that for Thanksgiving. That I
think it's a black thing. Oh, I never been maybe somebody
deserves their mac and cheese. And then once you've talked to I
remember talking about okay, well go with it. I think it is.
It's a traditional African American black American dish is
having mac and cheese.
Well, it actually stems a lot a lot of this stems from here play
the mac and cheese Jefferson clip. I didn't know this, even
though I checked it out. It's not true. But everyone believes
it to be true. Oh
my god, very nice. Very tasty, very cheesy, but it's not going
to be like running with cheese sauce. If you use the eight
ounces of pasta version, then you will have a lot more cheese
sauce. Okay, so it's up to you. Thomas Jefferson, the inventor
of macaroni. Also the author of the Declaration of Independence
and our Founding Fathers fought for our right to put in as much
or as little macaroni in our macaroni and cheese as we demo
please. So never forgets the principles I wish this country
was found and that's it macaroni cheese How easy was that?
This is infuriating what you're doing to me okay well national
mac and cheese day who I expect you to have a complete run
whatever
you're expecting is not going to happen so let's play now that
blacks you might be right like mac and cheese because it's a
cheap food it's a depression food here
we go the racist no agenda guys again a racist no agenda guys.
So let's listen what is a rich black person do though I want to
play
them with a play mac and cheese. It's not this has nothing to do
with money. It's called
no by rich mac and cheese is different. If you're patting
Bell and you got all this money and you got a gorgeous kitchen.
This is what you do. So this is the met Pat. This guy took clips
from her the Patti LaBelle two mini cheese clip for starters.
On a second Patti LaBelle famous American singer.
So now I'm going to do my macaroni and cheese. It's called
over the top top top macaroni and cheese, seven cheeses. It's
monster cheese. molL chatter, sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack,
mozzarella, provolone, and Velveeta those are the seven
cheeses all use I have my first cookbook with the macaroni and
cheese and since then I've grown up and I've grown into this
seafood macaroni and cheese laying next to but Alison my
musical director who passed a prostate cancer some time ago
oh this nice mac and cheese prostate cancer
I don't know why. So she her mac and cheese now besides having
seven different cheeses including Velveeta is
essentially lobster she puts a huge tons of lobster in this
thing but listen to this little part here which I thought was
the kind of the elitist musician level with a high end musician
with with the way she mixes things and the way she deals
with all the brings and shit she's got on this is the second
clip so
whenever I cook this I think of but and it's done to be with
lobster and
that's the prostate guy. Yeah, but add it to the
cheeses
and come to cheeses everybody a
in the season salt and butter and the half and half cream.
First, I'm going to start by taking off the blame blank. the
nastiest thing that you can see in kitchen is somebody cooking
and tossing food with their frickin rings on and Lawson
salad. Okay, nasty. So I'll put the ring over here. I'll pick up
some gloves because I'm gonna work this macaroni and cheese
with my hands. Yeah. And I don't choice people say hands. People
Happy Hands all into food and sticking it in chicken. Just
passing on stuff. First you gotta get the gloves or now that
takes a little while. Then you get them on. And yeah, hope that
this bracelet will fall into the macaroni and cheese.
Okay, all right. And $1,000 bracelet.
Hold on a second. The genesis of this conversation for those of
you who are new to the program is the appearance of mac and
cheese as a depression era food very similar to the grilled
cheese and we have noticed an incredible increase in the
marketing of mac and cheese which is very cheap cheddar
melted with cheap noodles and it's crap.
Yes it is. Really need you'd only need noodles and some
butter and some chatter you don't need all this other bowl.
Here is the recipe you slaves can
get the mac and cheese macaroni and cheese shatter melted
together mac and cheese mac and cheese mac and cheese
now since since this started and I don't know how two years ago
maybe we started noticing the mac and cheese vaad Yeah, at
least not a day goes by that someone doesn't send me a
picture of our menu or something in the supermarket. I would like
to make a suggestion. Don't do that anymore. It wastes my time.
And it was funny the first 1000 pictures that I got of mac and
cheese and oh look at the mac and cheese food truck. Oh look
mac and cheese with truffles mackage look $50 for mac and
cheese I get it it's true. It's happening. You get that two
people tweeting a lot of tweets Twitter tweeting it's mine tweet
all you want because then I can retweet and but email and please
try and keep that a little more exclusive. And don't start a
dialogue with me.
I have 1234 more clips which I'm gonna move to Sunday because Mac
and Cheese Day is like a Monday Mac and Cheese Day and Monday
we're gonna not talk we're gonna see how long we can go without
any references the mac and cheese which I don't think it'd
be very long I have no
problem I'm going to talk about mac and cheese I'm sick and
tired of the mac and cheese when I had mac and cheese like a
couple of months ago and it made me want to throw up I can't
believe meeting this at a restaurant
it's inexcusable that shells it's not mac and cheese has to
be the elbow no she'll just one woman here that doesn't with bow
ties
and people sending me recipes and stop
recipes is not a recipe issue throw together with some chatter
cheap general elbows
people send me recipes I don't want recipes of McAfee is not
funny anymore. It's not
another teaser for the Sunday show. I'm gonna talk I got some
a boy
let's let's get let's end the segment.
Mac and cheese
rant I do want to talk about Ebola on Sunday. I do only have
one clip that I can use as a teaser, which is the Ebola in
Germany clip Okay.
And on Ebola scare in Europe right now a woman rushed to the
hospital with symptoms of Ebola in Germany that hospitals in
Berlin and doctors to the woman got sick at a job center with
symptoms that included a high fever, emergency crews
quarantine quarantining other people at the Job Center and
they rushed the sick woman to the hospital. The hospital says
the woman has not been to the epidemic area in West Africa. So
they don't think it's Ebola. But you see all the precautions
they're taking? And there's they haven't ruled it out yet.
We're gonna get a lot of those stories.
Another piece of bull crap.
What shall I do? We should invest that
we should have invested in the companies that are making the
apparently making the vaccine at a nice pop. And someone sent me
these two company names. And I forgot to bring it up on the
show. And the next show had already gone up by 50% or
something.
Yeah, it would have been a good one. Yeah. We're such
sophisticated investors, you are not sophisticated investors.
This show is not an investment show. Oh, but
even your investment show doesn't make you rich?
No, does it add you're not looking to get rich. I didn't
mean rich, you have to if you're going to get into the stock
market to make money, you have to just devote yourself to it. I
rather devote myself to this show and other things that are
useful to the public at large. Now you're talking now I talking
that's what I do. And we and they give us they get we don't
have to invest and we get income from these find producers,
people who care about what we're doing on August they don't do
their you know their goal on vacation. But
and I find it hard to believe that you do not have $5 But some
people I don't have $5 So don't worry about it. We'll catch you
next time. But if you enjoyed anything compared to other
things you do and other things you consume your media meter or
there's that. We certainly enjoy doing it with you and for you
and I'm very happy and I feel privileged as we move towards
our seventh anniversary. And the big beasts triple six show
and seven the bay big beast. Did you know that on Sunday our 666
number show 666 was BM November 2 is the same exact day as the
Mexican Day of the Dead celebration? No. Isn't that
weird?
